All this was accomplished by the unity and spirit of the students. Everyone at Edison has done something to add to I its achievement—cheered at games, attended the plays, gone to “It s Academic”, sold magazine subscriptions, and participated |;in other school functions. Throughout these five years, Edison (experienced a growing enrollment, evident this year by the addition of eight temporary buildings.

Achievement In Mind And Deed Through our leadership, unity, and knowledge, Edison has strived to achieve the best in the fields of academic and voca¬ tional education. In the past, we have observed new teaching methods used by different faculty members and have increased our knowledge through their use. When the time came to participate in school activities, we openly accepted the opportunity to deal with them in a re¬ sponsible and mature manner, which led the way to our achieve¬ ment in leadership. In sports, we learned how to lose and win, no matter what the circumstances were. The spirit shown at games was immeasur¬ able in comparison to other schools. It was in these areas that Edison was able to fulfill its achievement. 6
