Thomas A Edison High School - Talon Yearbook (Fairfax County, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 280 of the 1966 volume:

THE TALON Volume IV 1966 THOMAS A. EDISON HIGH SCHOOL Virginia Taylor Publishing Company Dallas , Texas - We Are Youth . . . The importance of youth, the interests of youth, the value of youth: all of the different aspects of being young—this is our theme. 2 Youth and his individual achievements and tal¬ ents determine the success of Edison High School. In academics his face reflects absorption in some favorite subject, or it reflects serious concentration on an idea which is more challenging. On the field or on the court, the face of youth reflects stark determination and spontaneous enthusiasm —a striving for perfection in personal achieve¬ ment and the ultimate goal of success. Faces glowing with pride and satisfaction are faces of those who have achieved excellence in some en¬ deavor and have merited awards for their efforts. Moments of joy, sadness, laughter, anger, victory, defeat, excitement, and enthusiasm are portrayed in these pictures. 4 ' • . ' pi;;. (T J A-f ' nr«M p ♦ 6 Youth—Just being young—is a time of great activity and change. We are young and we are faced with the challenge of the ages. Being young is often an art mastered by those who no longer possess their youth. These pages show how we learn and grow—how we, the youth of today, prepare to face the challenge of tomorrow. 8 Table of Contents Introduction . 2 Administration and Faculty . 10 Seniors . 46 Underclassmen . 98 Organizations . 152 Sports . 190 School Life . 240 Advertisements . 254 Senior Directory . 266 Index . 270 ADMINISTRATION and FACULTY Woodrow T. Robinson Principal Education is a process which should have as its purpose the systematic introduction of our cultural and intellectual heritage in a manner that generates curiosity, stim¬ ulates creativity, implores critical thinking, and supports moral responsibility in the development of the individual student. To help create a high school is one of the most rewarding experiences a student has; for when he does, he discovers the world of opportunity awaiting him. Every bit of unformed or unmolded potential creates the challenge to develop it. The opportunities to write, to draw, to sing, to experiment, to speak, to act, to play an instrument are the opportunities to discover. By accepting the challenge of these opportunities, we help to mold our character. To create something as an individual is also one of the most rewarding experi¬ ences a person can have: for when he creates, he contributes something unique to the world. Every event in history, every work of art, every invention, every philosophy, has been the product of someone’s imagination. By using these founda¬ tions of past experience, by using present knowledge and daily life, he has been able to explore the unknown and find it worthy of discovery. The products of creativity, however, are not always tangible; but every time the student plays a game well or w r orks hard for a committee, or leads well in a school activity, or con¬ tributes an idea to a class discussion, or makes a friend, he has been creative. He has also helped to build within himself an individual with something of value to give to others, with something unique to offer the world. ifUBB t % - - , V-s ' T ’ - s ■ Wmm : ' { k ' Bk ; ' ' ■■ • MR. BONNER ALLEE Assistant Principal for Administration The Assistant Principal for Administration, Bonner Allee, began his first year in this capacity. Our Assistant Principal was formerly in charge of the Math Dept. He works closely with the student body and helps whenever a problem is expressed. Mr. Allee has an A.B. from Wabash College and an M.A. from Indiana State College. We, the TALON STAFF, wish to congratulate him on a job well done, serving E.S.H. and its student body. Edison’s Assistant Principals Miss Charlotte Zeigler, Assistant Principal for Instruction, is serving her second year in that posi¬ tion, transferring from the Guidance Department. She was well prepared for her work with an A. B. from William and Mary College and a Master degree from the University of Virginia. Miss Zeigler supervises the instructors, regulates the school ma¬ terials, and administers the planning of the school curriculum. Our Assistant Principal of Instruction feels that in order for the school to meet the needs of the student body, the curriculum must be con¬ stantly revised and improved. As a result, Miss Zeigler is constantly working towards amending the school’s instruction. MISS CHARLOTTE ZEIGLER Assistant Principal for Instruction I.B.M. Assists Administration and Faculty in Keeping Records Donna Hess and Sandy Parker help Mrs. Gessert in IBM Room. IBM serves the school by making out report cards, schedules, rolls, attendance lists, student permanent records, honor roll, and other like material. IBM has taken on the work formerly done by teach¬ ers, thus giving them more free time. The three types of machines, hole punch¬ ing, sorting, and printing, are rented by the school, and have become a record keeping necessity. MRS. ROBERTA GESSERT Menomonee Falls, Wis. A.D.P.

Twelfth Grade Counselor (A-K) Guidance is recognized as a developmental and continuous process that is composed of those organized services in the school which enable students to make decisions in solv¬ ing their educational, vocational, and personal difficulties. It is an integral part of the school organization. Due to the fact that students’ needs vary at different age levels, the area of emphasis varies accordingly. The main purpose of guidance is to help students under¬ stand themselves, their capabilities, and their goals through the assessment of interests, aptitudes, and achievements. Through this students are enabled to solve their own prob¬ lems independently and to make wise adjustments and choices. In addition guidance aids Seniors with college data.

MRS. MARIE PEPPE Middletown, Conn. Hartford School of Nursing The Clinic not only cares for students who become ill while at school but also extended its health program to include audio, visual, and dental testings as well as height and weight checks. Edison’s clinic continued in its capacity of serving in conjunction with orthopedic, speech and hearing, immunization, consultation and evaluation clinics. The work of the girls assisting in the clinic with Mrs. Peppe made the clinic once again this year an efficient service of the school. 18 Library Aids in Students ' Education and Entertainment MRS. LUCILE CARLTON Hampton, Va. College of William and Mary, Catholic U. Head Librarian The library is used by students in doing research as well as for checking out books. Current events are available in the daily newspapers and periodical maga¬ zines, which are kept as resources. Our librarians, Mrs. Carlton, Mrs. Hudson, and Miss Hughes work together with student assistants in the circulation of books, clerical work, shelving books and working with and repairing audio-visual materials.

Stimulates Students ' Interest in Culture An Art Student may explore painting, sculpture, drawing, and other media in the art courses offered at Edison. The art de¬ partment has displayed much of the students’ work on bulletin boards, display cases, and in the art hall a small display of one or more students’ work. The goal of the Art Department is to develop interested stu¬ dents’ ability in all art media and to teach the appreciation and complete understanding of the principles and elements of both modern and earlier art periods.

Modern Math Teaches Students New Thought Concepts Finding unknowns is really quite easy. Modern math, now being taught at Edison, has enabled many students to learn to think and to work with abstracts. College bound students con¬ tinue from Algebra I and II into the more advanced courses of Matrix Algebra, Functions, Calculus and Analysis. The main objective of the Math Dep’t is to give all students a basic understanding of math¬ ematics and its many functions today. MR. WILLIAM CRATE, JR. Joliet, Ill. Ill. State U.

Students begin to learn to be adept in handling office equipment and in meth¬ ods of business management. Commercial courses are of¬ fered for the training of future secretaries, business manag¬ ers, bookkeepers, and accountants. Such courses include typing, shorthand, business math, notehand and personal typing, and clerical and secretarial office practices. 24 MRS. DORIS STONE Shenandoah, Va.

Madison College English III The English Department, offering courses in advanced composition, drama, public speaking, world literature, and English, is perhaps one of the most important in the school. The teaching of any aspect of English is vital to the student in that the correct use of the language is of value throughout life. Due to this, four years of English are required. Freshman English is basically grammar. Sopho¬ more English is similar to Freshman English, but is more intensive. In the Junior and Senior Classes, students explore in depth, writings including analyzation of novels, in American and British literature. Students may take elective English classes as college preparatory courses. These courses allow the student to learn to express himself and to gain an understanding of the humanities.

In preparation for the many roles of the homemaker, Edison offers girls, through the Horne Economics Course, training to gain skills in cooking, serving, housekeeping, child care, home nursing, personal grooming, and social adjustment. The department made arrangements to give Senior girls a comprehensive course, requiring no prerequisite, to prepare them for married life. What was learned in this course or any of the other courses, I through IV, may aid a girl throughout her lifetime in giving her skills to cope with social and commu¬ nity affairs. MRS.

Foreign Language Dept. Teaches Students The Foreign Language Department attempted to teach students a language in such a way that it can be prac¬ tically applied. History and culture were included in the courses in order for the students to be introduced Let’s see .. . Which of these darn buttons do I turn? to different Peoples and to appreciate fully their tradi¬ tions and customs. Students may start and continue in any of the five years of French, four years of Spanish, three years of German and Latin. A “C” average is required of any student wishing to continue. A.L.M. has become an integral part of the Language Department. This year fourth year French was added. In order to stimulate interest in the language being studied, visitors from the land of the language were sometimes invited to the classroom. 30 MRS. ALISE PAULI Indianapolis, Ind. Ind.

Band Gives School Sounds of Music The Edison Band has participated in many contests and parades this past year. They took a superior rating of 1 in the Band Festival, first place in both parade and half-time marching at the William and Mary Parade, and competed in the Cherry Blossom Parade. The annual Tag Days and concert in November were held again as well as a Christmas concert and participation in the Fine Arts Festival. M. GEORGE E. DUMAN, JR.

Singing and Listening: Vital Parts of Choral Dept. The Chorale, Mixed Choruses, Freshman Girls Chorus and the Treble Choir work together once again this year to give Edison a fine musical department. Fall, Christmas, and Spring concerts were given also, the choruses visited the Nation’s capitol to sing for Con¬ gressmen once again this year. Music appreciation was taught to let students gain a desire to understand “good” music and to know why it is so considered. MR. DOYLE C.

Chemistry MRS. PAULINE LEWIS Fairfax, Ya. Iowa State U. Earth Science The Science Department has been di¬ vided into four courses. Ninth grade students may study Earth Science which includes astronomy, geology, oceanography, climatology and physi¬ cal geography. B.S.C.S. Biology, which surveys the various fields of biology from environmental and developmental viewpoint, stresses the individual stu¬ dent project and development of lab¬ oratory techniques which will aid the student in later courses. CHEM Study closely relates the classroom with the laboratory work, terminating with a technical study of atomic structure. This is the way ya do it . . . the mole method! 34 Understanding of Environment P.S.S.C. Physics is made up of four interconnected parts: Part I is a gen¬ eral introduction to the fundamentals of Physics; Part II lets the student examine the study of light; Part III Is the study of motion, its dynamics and forces; Part IV is an introduction to electricity and the physics of the atom. This year, in an effort to improve Edison’s curriculum, traditional courses of Biology and Chemistry were dropped. Students were given new or more modem courses, designed to give them a better understanding of some of the many fields of science. MR. DALE LISI Milwaukee, Wis. U. of Md.

The Physical Education Classes stress not only sportsman¬ ship, but also the skills required to participate in the various sports. Freshmen are given classroom instruction two days per week in first aid, driver training, and health. The remaining days are spent in physical activity. Sophomores, as the Freshmen, alternate days between classroom studies and physical activity. Whereas the Fresh¬ man classes stress such sports as softball, basketball, and volleyball, the Sophomore classes participate in more indi¬ vidual sports and calisthenics. The health program offered Sophomores was more comprehensive, stressing personal hygiene, mental health, as well as studies on drugs and tobacco. Upperclassmen, who chose Physical Education as an elective course, had five active periods per week, rather than having the classroom instruction similar to that of underclassmen. Activities included gymnastics, track and field, as well as other more extensive sports. MR. WILLIAM FOX Oliver Springs, Tenn. Tenn. Wesleyan College Health and P.E., World History MRS.

Government As world affairs continually become more complex, students can further their knowledge of the social sciences by taking courses in world history, government, world geography, U.S. history, sociology, and econom¬ ics. The sociology and economics courses introduced students to the principles and problems of economics in our modern world. The courses utilize movies, textbooks, student reports, as well as any other material which may pertain to the current affairs and the reasons why the world has become so complex. ' The knowledge gained may prove invaluable to the student’s understanding of our society.

A student in the Distributive Edu cation program attends school in the morning and works in the afternoon in wholesale, retail or service occupations. Students are introduced to fields of distribution and retailing. Students must work fifteen hours per week to gain experience. D.E. students study salesmanship, mathematics, advertising merchandising, and public relations. Clerical Office Practice and those of Vocational Office Training are presented with a similar pro¬ gram. The difference is that C.O.P. is an elective 44 Through C.O.P ., D.E. and I.C.T. Courses for Seniors only, with the requirements that they have Typing 1 and 2, basic business subjects, and business math. The Industrial Cooperative Training program includes all of the industrial skills: The department is operated as an individual study program. Stu¬ dents learn and develop craft skills. Vocational Office Training prepares students for jobs in retail stores by offering them actual ex¬ perience, as do the other vocational classes. MR. CHARLES LOUDIN Fairmont, W. Va. U.

The Junior class enjoyed a busy and successful year under the leadership of Marc Guindon. Homecoming week proved to be a great success for the class. They were well repre¬ sented in the Homecoming Parade with their float, “Dump the Tigers”; and their hall won first place in the hall-decorating contest. Joining the Senior class, the Juniors held an informal dance featuring the New Bedford Set early in the year. On May 14 the rising Senior class provided one of the most memorable occasions of the year—the Prom, “Tea of the August Moon”. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Marc Guindon, President; Barbara Hurley, Vice President; Linda Burk, Treasurer; and Shirley Davis, Secretary.

SCA Sponsors Christmas Tree Sales One of the most important organizations present at Thomas Edison High School is the Student Cooperative Association. Its main purpose is to further participation in the school; to encourage cooperative school spirit; to foster desirable student attitudes, and behavior; and to support the general activities of the school and community. The projects of the S. C. A. for the 1965-66 school year were endless. Among those proposed include a large concert in the gym with a famous English or American group for entertainment; the annual “La Fete” Carnival; the election of officers for 1966-67; the A.F.S. Week, March 21 to 25. Among those projects completed include the C.C.C. club charts issued; the academic awards; the Homecoming Dance; the Func¬ tioning of Student Advisory Committee; the Freshman Orientation Assembly; the Christmas Tree Sale; the Christmas decorations seen in the lobby; the large framed activity calendar constructed for the cafeteria; the large wooden sign for the Christmas Tree Sale constructed for use every year; the A.F.S. Hootenanny which brought in $130; the Foreign Exchange Student at Edison; and the Chapter of International Fellowship established at Edison. With a membership of 69 homeroom representatives, 11 members of the cabinet, 5 elected officers, and an entire student body the S.C.A. has proved to be one of the most valuable associations at Edison High School this year.

The controversial statement for this year’s topic was, “Re¬ solved: that the federal govern¬ ment should establish a program of compulsory arbitration in labor- management disputes in basic in¬ dustries.” With this in mind, spon¬ sored by Mr. Lawler, they showed their abilities at many Northern Virginia Debate League matches, scoring numerous victories. The team also attended the debate clinic held at Herndon High School, the college Debate Tournaments, and the Debate Awards Banquets held in the spring.

This year they have been especially active. The club has participated in such worthwhile projects as the March of Dimes, the Peace Corps, and the Red Cross. The frequent aid given to brain-damaged chil¬ dren through repatterning was probably their most helpful and rewarding project. Versatile as well as active, the Keyettes highlighted the Donkey-Basketball Game, and the Alumnae Dance held with the Key Club was a huge success. Led by Joyce Thompson and sponsored by Mrs. Rosenwasser, the Keyettes have played a very important part in school life. Keyettes w 3rk on projects. 160 Key Club Raises Funds for March of Dimes The Key Club is a service organization honoring de¬ serving high school boys. The purpose of the club is to serve the school and community in any way possible. Under the leadership of Mr. Mac Caffery, the boys have had a successful year. They have com¬ pleted the proposed projects for the 1965-66 session, including a successful car wash, a bake sale, and a bottle drive. The club also participates in other out of school activities. The boys have donated their time to such fund raising drives as the March of Dimes, and Cerebral Palsy. The Club also undertakes other projects voted upon by the boys. With a total membership of 33, the Key Club has made important contributions to both the school and the communities. Recording Sec. Dennis Woolfrey, Veep. Bob Lowell Pres.

When the school year opened. Edison’s Choral Department had many great expectations. First on their agenda was the FOURTH ANNUAF FAFF CONCERT which has become a tradition at Edison. As the Christmas drew near the Edison Chorale practiced tediously. Their songs of Christmas yuletide were heard at two neighboring churches and at the Senate Rotunda. In March Edison’s chorale performed our first Pops Concert with selections from “West Side Story” “Porgy and Bess”, “The Sound of Music”, “Carousel”, and “Oklahoma”. Easter season proved to be a musical inspiration and the Chorus ma de a return performance to the Senate Rotunda.

Edison Opens 1965 Season With Victory Over Jefferson Although the Colonials outplayed the Eagles statistically, they never threatened the stout Edison team. The Colonial offense never penetrated past the Eagle 35-yard line. Pat Toomay completed two touchdown pass¬ es to Curt Chesley for a total of 89 yards and battled five yards for another. Earl Marshall darted 60 yards on a return punt for the final touchdown of the game. Federals Fall to Eagles Fort Hunt was turned back in its ' season opener by a 28-13 Eagle victory. Both teams matched touchdowns in the second stanza and the game continued to be a close match until the fourth frame. Scoring twice in the final quarter on one-yard plunges, Edison wrapped up the game for our second win of the season. Eagles Surprised by Stout Prexie Defense It was the G.W. rugged defense unit that set up the first score of the game. The touchback, giving them a two point lead, enabled the Presidents to slip by the Eagles, 8-6. The Prexie defense nailed the Eagles’ charging offense, resulting in an upset vic¬ tory. Midway through the final quarter the Eagles took possession of the ball at the G.W. 37. Two plays later the pigskin lay on the Edison five yard line. Melvin Greene then placed the Eagles on the scoreboard with a five yard bolt. Left to Right: Glenn Albright, Fred Roderick, and Eddie Bryant Next time, keep it low.

The point made by Phil Jewell, the seventh in this season, saved the team because later in the fourth frame the Cavaliers lit the scoreboard with a six- pointer, the kick was low and went under the crossbar.

Eagles Sink Admirals A 26-6 victory against the Hammond Admirals put the Eagles into an excellent position for top place in the Alexandria League. The score held a 14 point margin for the Eagles by the end of the first half. A raft of penalties against Hammond aided Edison in touchdown drives. The Eagles scored the last touchdown of the game in the second half when Curt Chesley ran for a 44 yard scamper, completely untouched, across the goal line. Edison Dumps Marshall The Varsity parents were present to watch their sons romp past Marshall, 34-0. The Eagles started their parade of touchdowns as soon as they took possession of the ball. The first ' Eagle touchdown came after six minutes of play. In the second quarter the Eagles exploded with 21 points. Jim Par¬ sons’ interceptions halted both Marshall drives in the fourth frame for fwo intended touchdown passes. Eagles Foil Majors The Eagles ran over the Mount Vernon Majors, claiming the seventh victory of the season, 25-14. Earl Marshall started the series of four touchdowns in the first quarter. Curt Chesley and Larry Hamm followed suit in the second and third quarters. Only one district game remained for the Eagles to conquer. Curt Chesely, 42, thinks twice as he runs into trouble.

Eagles Victorious in Homecoming Game Pat Toomay started the series of seven touchdowns that decided Edison’s land- sliding victory, 45-0, in the 1965-66 Home¬ coming game. As the rugged Eagles pounded the Tigers’ defense into the ground, Curt Qiesley completed touchdown passes of 55 and 76 yards from quarterback Pat Toomay. At the time Toomay led the State Group 1-A in touchdown passes. The results of this match put Edison’s Curt Chesley in the number one spot not only as the area’s leading scorer, but also as the state 1-A leader as well. Edison Finishes Season With 8-2 Record Edison’s progressive team finally went down—but to the team that wound up with the State Championship. It was a tough Atom defense that plagued the Eagle of¬ fense. At the end of the fourth frame Edison had been penalized only 15 yards while Annandale suffered a 50 yard setback. Pat Toomay finally came through for the Eagles, in the final frame, with a six pointer and Phil Jewell boosted the score with his successful boot. The game ended with a 23-7 defeat for the Eagles.

The high-scoring Eagles connected for 83 points while holding the Lancers to 62 points. Eagles Score 92 Jefferson just couldn’t click against the pow¬ erful Edison defense. The Eagles just scored and scored and scored, and Jefferson just man¬ aged to score 29 points. The bench was un¬ loaded and the Batmen got into the action. Admirals Go Down When it was all over, the scoreboard showed the Eagles had claimed another one, 54-32. The Admirals were just another team that couldn’t stop the Eagles. 206 PAT TOOMAY Senior Right: Toomay shows the Prexies that it’s easy to put in a shot when you’re “sorta” tall. Tigers Stopped The Eagles made it 4-0 as they stopped the Tigers 81-43. Eagles Whip T. C. The Eagles had a cold first quarter, scoring,, only 16 points. A better defense kept the Eagles on top during the second quarter and the team went to the locker room at the half with an eight point lead. In the third and fourth quarters, the Big Five broke loose and mauled the Titans. Final score—76-55. Atoms Wilt Under Eagle Press The Edison full-court press demoralized the Atoms. After just minutes of play, the Eagles had scored six straight points. Late in the sec¬ ond quarter, Toomay stole the ball for what looked like an easy score. While casually dunk¬ ing the ball, his feet were cut out from under him and he landed on his back. Pat came back to play at the start of the third quarter. With six minutes left to play, the Eagles showed their depth by substituting the famed Batmen. The Eagles lit the scoreboard with 92 points.

Mi Toomay Top Scorer Eagles Coast Past Majors Paul McCarus, top scorer with 18 points, led the Eagles past Mount Vernon. Lowe and Too¬ may connected for 15 and 13 points respec¬ tively. Edison Clubs Marshall for 8 Bob Lowe showed superior form as he led the Eagles to an 85-47 victory by scoring 25 points. Toomay followed with 19 points. At the half the Eagles had tallied 49 points. Eagles Topple Prexies 69-53 As the first of the two big games between Edison and G.W. rolled around, the largest crowd ever to assemble in the Eagle gym began to pour in. By 7:0O the gym was packed. After Toomay out jumped G.W.’s Thompson to gain possession of the ball in the opening seconds of the big game, the Edison fans could sense victory. The final buzzer showed the Eagles on top 69-53. Phil didn’t even need Toomay on this shot from 30 feet out. Cavaliers Fall Prey To Eagles ’ Wrath After a grueling game with G.W. the night before, the mighty Eagles hit the floor at Woodson ready to avenge the woes of the year before. At half time the score was 35-17 in favor of Edison. As the Eagles went into the locker room, it looked as though they would be cele¬ brating a victorious weekend. During the third quarter, the high flying Eagles began to show signs of fatigue. How¬ ever, they managed to stave off the aggressive Cavalier rally. The final score was 54-50. Easy Victory Over Ft . Hunt Toomay and Lowe led the Eagles to their 11th straight victory. The Eagles easily de¬ feated the Federals 61-34.

BOB LOWE Junior 211 HARVEY WILSON Senior 21 - 1 Eagles Stomp Tigers Even though Dennis Woolfrey suffered a broken nose, the Eagles walloped Groveton 60-42. Toomay, Lowe, and Jewell led the way with 14 points each. Lancers Fall Again It was just another night and the Honchos and the Batmen proved their expert skill and sportsmanship again. Big Boy Toomay scored a spectacular 33 points. Majors Court-Martialed The 1-12 Mt. Vernon Majors were turned back again. Number one scorer in Northern Virginia, Pat Toomay, boosted his average by scoring 25 points. The Second Time Around On Wednesday morning, the headlines read: “Edison Stunned by G.W. 67-50.” The big Eagles had a bad night and suffered their first loss of the season. Eagles Sink Hammond The Honchos and the Batmen launched a fur¬ ious attack against the Admirals. Remembering the defeat by G.W., the Eagles showed their spirits were as high as ever. In Coach Hensley’s words: “WE’RE ON OUR WAY BACK!” The final score was 85-50 in favor of the Eagles Williams Downed The Eagles crushed the Titans by a score of 71-61. The Eagles now boasted a record of 16-1. Federals Floored In the last game of regular season competi¬ tion, the Eagles played in a “blaze of glory”. This last victory gave the Edison team an over¬ all record of 17-1. 2 PAUL McCARUS Senior Well, Coach, what do you want me to do?

Junior Grapplers Boast 4-1 Record The J.V. wrestling team had a very successful season this year. The squad was under the excellent coaching of Mr. Damice and Mr. Clarke. The team effort this year proved to be the best ever since Edison High School opened. Outstand¬ ing wrestlers this year were Wally Rhein, unde¬ feated; Richard Sharp, undefeated; Rusty Hansen; and Jim Parsons. Jim Parsons appears to be a very good varsity prospect for next year. The squad’s record was 4 wins and 1 loss. Woodson’s junior grapplers dealt Edison its only loss. J. V. WRESTLING RECORD EDISON..26 EDISON.12 EDISON.26 EDISON....26 EDISON.24 G.

This year the Edison Golf Team achieved greater popularity among the spring sports at Edison. Through the efforts of Coach Wagen¬ hals and returning members of the team, much success was attained this season in the develop¬ ment of this virtually unknown sport. Without the courtesy of outstanding golf courses such as the Springfield Golf and Coun¬ try Club, Pinecrest, and Bel Haven, the golf team might have suffered in its daily practice. Seasonal competition was held at many of the area’s top courses including the Washingtonian, Army-Navy, Woodlawn, Bel Haven, and Spring- field. These country clubs proved tough courses for Edison and all of their opponents. Being on the Golf Team involves rearrang¬ ing time schedules. It was a common sight to see Ben Aleskowitz and Chris Reed doing their homework between putts. Members of the team have but one complaint this year. Their request for the Cheerleaders to be caddies was denied . . . Oh, Well. 229 Girls Hockey Team Defeats Falls Church First Row: Nancy Lee, Dale Rizzo, Pam Lowry.

Hockey Teams Play Hard Season Opening the girls’ field hockey season of 1965 was the close battle between visitor Hern¬ don and the Edison Eaglettes. The Junior Varsi¬ ty tried to catch up with their opponents who led and finally won a well-fought fight. Both teams lacked in speed because of the 95 degree wea¬ ther. During the whole season all games were close and well-played. Edison girls never lost spirit for a moment. Responsible for a most important part of these teams were the hard working coaches. Both were outstanding players in college and still enjoy the sport very much. Taking over varsity was Miss Reeves, who believed in a team that can out-run any other team. She stresses that endurance is the winner of the game. A new member of Edison’s faculty this year was Miss Hudgins, who instructed the Junior Varsity team and tried to start off these girls with quick and skillful techniques. f • 1 IggnSMR 4 I • i 2 .

What makes an Edison Varsity Cheerleader? You must first have school spirit, a nice per¬ sonality, and pride in your school and in other people. You must also be willing to give of your time and your talents to lead your school in cheering on your team to victory. Ten great gals fit this description perfectly, sponsored by Miss Revere, and led by Pat Davis and Diane Corso as co-captains. Last May, these girls were chosen on their skill, grace, appearance, and personality. They started at the begininng of the summer prac¬ ticing their cheers for what became an ex¬ citing and thrilling year for the football and basketball seasons.

During the un¬ forgettable weekend many old and new friends were brought together. The weekend started off with the Eagle team romping to a 45-0 victory over Groveton. The night to follow would be even more unforgettable. As Saturday night finally came, a large group of students and graduates joined in an evening of memories never to be forgotten. The climax of the dance was the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Pat Davies, and her escort for the night, Pat Toomay. The “Harvest Moon” Dance was the highpoint in a winning football season.

The Christmas holidays provided Edison’s sports fans with an unusual amusement. In the Donkey Basketball Game on December 28, the Keyettes played the Varsity Club and the Majorettes to raise funds for the P.T.A. To score or steal the ball, a player had to be on the donkey. Most maneuvering, though, was done on foot with, of course, the approval of one’s companion. “Let Hertz put you . . agrees Lad Savage. 244 Jack Kelley bends over backwards to help his team “Parting is such sweet sorrow . . . decides Elice Gilbert.
