Advisor 3 Leadership Thomas Alva Edison With actual growth, in number, of Edison High School’s students, clubs, and organizations, came the expanding responsibilities of the school’s leaders ... its whole student body. There were the recognized students, those who were called “leaders” in their various fields: in academics, literary arts, fine arts, sports, and vocational education. These were the persons who assumed the job of setting goals and overseeing the work until that goal was completed. The majority of Edison’s leaders, however, were the non- recognized, never-spoken-of students who gave their time, their initiative, and their faith to the developement of a better high school society. These were the contributors of creative motion. These were the people who fed realism and actuality into the final performance of any organization; these, also, were the stu¬ dents who were misrepresented under the title of “followers.” With the physical growth of Edison, came the mental and emotional growth of its student community; resultant in the re¬ alization that the quality of leadership is a lasting inner and personal one rather than that which exemplifies itself in momen¬ tary glory or recognition. Symbols of Edison The leaders ' right hand. That long hall way. Leadership in Academics The “It ' s Academic” team takes time out for a picture. The key- : knowledge. Beyond the standard curriculum of high school studies and ac¬ tivities stands those students responsible for Edison’s social academic leadership. These are our members of such organiza¬ tions as the National Honor Society, the Key and Keyette clubs, and the “It’s Academic” team, as pictured above. Leadership in Academics, however, is not restricted to those outstanding students who have left their mark by way of their achievements in the past year. True leadership is more simply the acceptance of an academic challenge, and meeting that challenge through perseverance in study. ;v-; r. g ; h $ % ' ■ ■ ! ' •, ..% X.c £ ' t M? .’ „ jLML r V I |.

I Edison’s student body has, over the past six years, developed a reputation for its strong sense of loyalty towards the work of its school’s administration, faculty, organizations, and clubs. This year’s school spirit was considerably greater than that of previous Sophomores’ Follies Trophy. years. Competition between organizations for bakesales, dances, and other activities often drew the I.C.C. and club officials into caucus; sporting events were always attended by a majority of the student body, and the outlook of students became one of interest and optimism. 11 FACULTY-the people behind the desk who show their pupils a myriad of roads to travel, and offer to help pick the right one. 12 MHSR3A Miss Charlotte Zeigler, Assistant Principal for Instruction at Edison, died August 9, 1968. We have missed her. She pos¬ sessed those qualities which have made her both a successful leader and a loyal friend—a quiet strength, a sense of justice, a compassion for student and teacher alike, a wisdom from ex¬ perience, a gentle warmth. We felt her presence, and we bene- fitted from her knowledge and her friendship. It is with sincerity, admiration, and love that we pay tribute to Charlotte Zeigler in the 1969 TALON. Administration Mr. John Alwood has, for the past three years, served as Edison High School’s most honored and highly respected principal. After receiving his A.B. degree from West Michigan University and his M.E. from the University of North Carolina, his course as a student was furthered to include work at the University of Kansas and Michigan State University, where he acquired his advanced Graduate Study Diploma. Mr. Alwood came to Edi¬ son after having previous administrative in Durand, Michigan. Mr. John Alwood During the 1968-69 school year at Edison, disciplinary prob¬ lems were all but extinguished under the firm hand of Miss Firth Morris, Assistant Principal for Administration. Miss Morris received her B.S. at the University of Texas and her M.Ed. at the University of Illinois. Her studies also include work at Madison College, the University of Virginia, and DePaul Uni¬ versity. For three years, Mr. Maurice Altom has served as Assistant Principal for Instruction at Edison High School, working closely with both the Faculty and Administration. He has attended the University of Colorado and Northern Texas State University, and has obtained his B.S. from Southeastern State College and his M.S. from Oklahoma State University. Edison’s Assistant Principal for Administration, Mr. Bonner Allee, is one who is known to all students, seen by many, and visited by few. His student life included work at the University of Virginia and Purdue University; his A.B. was received from Wabash College and his M.A. was conferred upon him at In¬ diana State College. Doubling as a General Bus iness teacher and Administrative Aide, Mr. Dale Etka has attained his B.A. from Coe College and his M.A. from Columbia University. “Loyalty to one activity is essential,” preached Mr. Monroe Parker as he checked into school every morning under the titles of Administrative Aide, Head of the Science Department, Biol¬ ogy instructor, Fellowship of Christian Athletes Sponsor and Supervisor of Student Parking. Coach Parker received his B.S. at Carson-Newman College and his M.Ed. from the University of Virginia. 15 I Mrs. Roberta Gessert IBM Secretary Mrs. Louise Lucas Guidance Secretary 16 Mrs. Betty Weddel Library Clerk Mrs. Emily Atkins Guidance Secretary Mrs. Doris Hanson School Secretary Mrs. Dorothy Barnes School Secretary Mrs. June Harrison Finance Secretary 17 Are you back again? Guidance During the past year, the Guidance Department added two new members to its staff. This faculty organization, under the super¬ vision of Mr. George Gianakaris, functions to counsel students with scholastic or social problems, and direct students with personal business such as college preparation and testing. Mr. Walter Chernako Mrs. Mary Hall Mrs. Floy Owens Mr. Ryland Yeatts Mr. George Gianakaris That’s the best excuse I’ve heard today! 19 Mrs. Maejean Acker Mrs. Charlotte Boronow Mrs. Virginia Cleavenger Miss Cynthia Craig Going into its second year of effect is the thematic English Unit —a new approach to English designed to give the student an opportunity to choose that aspect of literature study which most interests him. This course of studies has, even in its beginning stages, been proved to be extremely successful and has been greatly appreciated by the students involved. Mrs. Janet Mitchell Mrs. Elizabeth Parlett English Mrs. Bernice Maxwell Once upon a time . . . Do I really look better without my glasses? 21 Miss Marilyn Safrit Miss Elizabeth Toy Mrs. Turner smiles happily for the photographer. Mrs. Rose seems to be enjoying her work. Mrs. Evelyn i umer Mr. Charles Welshans 22 Mr. James Burdette Mr. Donald Casto Social Studies This year the Social Studies department has adopted a new pro¬ gram entitled “American Studies”. This course covers American history and government. It is offered to Juniors and carries on from their Junior to Senior year. The inquiry approach to stimu¬ late individual student research is employed. Mr. Casto and Mr. Etka encourage their pupils to make value judgements and to develop the idea of self-concept. Mr. Willis Clark Mr. Frank Damico Mr. Richard Loritsch 23 During the next two semesters we shall study in detail the life of Andrew Jackson. Very interesting, but rather tiring after you’ve seen it six times. Mrs. Radine Gray Mrs. Bernice Lankton 24 By George, you ' re right. “This ’ $ - yearbook is a real pain.” Mr. Walter Mika Mr. John Rose Miss Harriet Stephenson 25 Mr. Arthur Gillis Miss Sarah Hinkle Mathematics For the anylitical thinkers of Edison, the Math Department of¬ fers the opportunity to experience working dilligently in the field of mathematics. From the freshman’s Alegbra I or Geometry courses comes the basis for accelerated classes. Algebra II— Trigonometry—Functions—Matrix, or Math Analysis are the courses offered to those interested and interestingly curious stu¬ dents of figures and graphs. Others may perfer General Math or Consumers Math to fulfill their credits for graduation. Mrs. Josephine Litvinus Mrs. Margorie McClurg Mr. Don Springer Mr. John Ross Mr. Merrill Sanford Those were the days. Wait a minute. I’m not ready yet. “You ' re silly.” Peace. Mr. Hinton Smith Mrs. Winnie Wooley 27 Mr. Charles Blevins Mrs. Christina Cirelli Science “To teach the different scientific concepts that enable students to live in our affluent society as well as to develop preparatory courses for college bound students” is the goal of Edison’s Sci¬ ence Department, as summed up by Mr. Monroe Parker, the organization head. The offered courses are all lab oriented and the student learns by the doing objective. Biology, Physics, Earth Science, and Chemistry along with various new classes are being taught. Ladies and Gentlemen: I would now like to present. . . Mr. Monroe Parker Where is my yardstick? Bang!! You ' re deader than a disected frog. Mr. Dale Lisi Mr. Edwin Sutton Mrs. Elizabeth Cofer Mrs. Pauline Lewis � «� • � � « .«� � � M V ' You thought this was a Biology class? Don’t worry class, there’s only three more pages of notes. 29 mrmmqg Language Because communication is necessary in everyday living, the Language Department strives to enrich students’ knowledge of communication by enabling students to converse in a foreign language. Edison students can learn to speak Spanish, French, Latin or German. The teachers of the Language Department also encourage their students to learn the customs of the country they study by: celebrating holidays in the tradition of the coun¬ tries, field trips, and special projects. The Language Department combines fun with learning to accomplish a new level of com¬ munication for its students. Mr. James Hodson Miss Janet Kill Mrs. Betty Corbin Aha! You think that ' s funny, you should hear about . . . 31 Mrs. Donni Clifton Mr. Douglas Greene Mrs. Rebecca Pigg Mrs. Janet Ford Mrs. Marie Jaymes Mrs. Margaret Norton Education With its seventeen courses offered, the General Business Educa¬ tion Department finds itself one of the largest and most varified departments in Edison. From its three typing courses, a student can then move on to two shorthand classes, a General Business class, Bookkeeping, Business Law or Economics, V.O.T., C.O.P. or Automatic Data Processing courses. Miss Peggy Hall Mrs. Kathryn Blight Mrs. Bertha Goerder Home Economics Preparing fashions shows, creating dinners from the exotic to the everyday meals, and discovering new and interesting tech¬ niques to the age-old chores of a housewife; these are but a few of the offerings of Edison’s Home Ec. Department to the young housekeepers of our school. These girls are also given the oppor¬ tunity to experiment their ideas on efficiency, imagination and taste in a realistic home setting. Mrs. Doris Sanders 33 IS ’ • • . ... f • f| M ' Mr. Robert Carson Miss Diane Fary Physical Education The Physical Education Department of Edison High School works throughout the year to produce intricate shows of team¬ work and talent, both on and off the football field or basketball court. With many varieties of sports available, physical training from jazz dance or hockey for girls to weight lifting, football, basketball, baseball or wrestling for boys, the students are given equal chance to fully develop. Participation in the activities of the Physical Ed. Department is a learning experience that pre¬ fers to sharpen and strengthen the body before tackling the mind. Mr. Carl Hensley Mrs. Lovell watches with amusement. What do you mean, it ' s too cold? 35 Fine Arts Oh well, some people have it and some people don ' t. Mr. George Duman The Fine Arts Department of Edison has within its last year of change and growth, begun to prove itself to be a leader in its field. From the initiation of a cinema-movie course in the Art Department, to the theatrical production of “Guys and Dolls” in the Drama Department, to Band and Choral concert tours, Edison’s Fine Arts Department has asserted its artistic and crea¬ tive talents on both a state wide and a nation wide scale. Mr. John Dunlap Mr. Doyle Catlett Mrs. Dorothy Monk 36 Mr. Ronald Wisniewski Mrs. Denise Brannick Mr. Warren Burgess Vocational Education The Vocational Education Department of Edison has been proven to be an extremely successful and highly organized and productive department. This year’s course selection ranged from Cosmetology through Drafting and Electronics courses to Automotive Mechanics and Industrial Cooperative Training Studies. Plans are in progress for the addition of six or more new courses to this ever-growing department. Mr. Richard Baush Mr. Ronald Coleman Mr. Adolphus Coward Mr. Charles Loudin Mrs. Elizabeth Moores Alan, do you have to blow bubbles while I’m lecturing? Of course, you realize your head is being used in an experiment. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, God bless Daddy and Mommy, too. Will the real Mrs. Moores please stand up? 38 Mrs. Ethel Sayer Mr. William Woodward Mr. Michael Beto Miss Elizabeth Toy Industrial Cooperative Work Arts Study Program Containing five basic vocational channels, the Industrial Arts Department presents its students with courses in Pre-Technical Electronics, Mechanical Drawing, Architectural Drafting, Crea¬ tive Crafts, and General Shop. These classes give practical ap¬ plication and job selection training to students found talented in these fields. The Cooperative Work-Study Program, as instituted in Edison, provides a curriculum suitable to the working student. English, Social Studies, and Mathematics courses are standard with Gen¬ eral Shop, Maintenance and Repair and an occupational experi¬ ences laboratory course as preparatory steps to job placement. Other classes, such as Family Living, are offered as electives to students involved in this Work-Study Program.

Freshman The Freshman Class easily acclimated to Edison’s way of life under the leadership of president, Tom Mickler, and the Guid¬ ance of their sponsors, Miss Kill and Mr. Welshans. A successful treasury was assured by the first winning the magazine drive and then sponsoring numerous bake sales, dances, carwashes, rummage sales, and the selling of class cards. The class of ' 12, by their interest and concern, have voiced the hope to add to the continued growth of pride and spirit at Edison High School.

With their sponsors, Mrs. McClurg and Mr. Sanford, and President, Ed Raettig, for guid¬ ance, they decided on a successful Ring Dance in April. Beating the over-confident Senior Class in the Annual Powderpuff Foot ball game highlighted the start of a wonderful school year. Class Cards on sale, dances, and bakesales boosted the class treasury to a soaring height. With its great competitive spirit and interest from the class, representatives, and sponsors they have been able to have a successful year and hope of even a better one next year.

The 1968 Senior Class has not only proven its efficiency and leadership qualities, but has set a high example of group unity and solitude. Their contributions to Edison High School have been in every field of study at Edison. In sports, fine arts, and academic studies, this class will be remembered as one of initiative, strength, creativity and honor.

Comprised of 80 members the Symphonic Band has displayed outstanding talent in the musical field, in competitions, school concerts, and everyday class sessions. They have received much critical acclaim for their endeavors and have learned to greatly appreciate their form of artistic expression. The Reserve Band constitutes an important position as one of our schools various elective sources. Its players struggle today overcoming all their faults and emerge tomorrow as Edison Symphonic Band members. Students in the reserve band serve their school by playing in the band festival and applying the best techniques to gain artistic temperament and musicianship. Eyes focus on the 66 uniformed performers of Edison’s Marching Band. Usually they follow the steps of the band mem¬ bers as they march and respond to the command of their drum major. The audio senses assume control and one listens to the harmony of notes that accompany active players on the football field or participate in out-of-school competitions. An after school ensemble, the marching band is comprised of those members with an interest in extending musical capabilities and who have the experience of either the high school symphonic or reserve bands.

Ensemble The Edison Ensemble and Choruses, under the direction of Mr. Doyle C. Catlett, represented a select group of voices, or¬ ganized for purposes of attaining an ensemble sound. Within their capabilities, the groups aim was for the highest level of musicianship. They performed within the school for assemblies, and presented Christmas and Spring Concerts for the public. The Ensemble functioned as the Madrigals, singing mainly music of the Renaissance in a maestoso, grandioso, and brillant style. 180 Concert Choir The Concert Choir of 1968-69 directed by Doyle C. Catlett was a more harmonious extension of last year’s choir and chorale.

Spanish Club To have been a student of the Spanish language and to possess the interest that so accompanys it, are all that are required to qualify a student for Edison’s Spanish Club. A club that exists with the purpose of creating a better understanding of the Span¬ ish language and that attempts to fill the cultural void. Spanish Club members held their annual Christmas party with the focal point being the breaking of the festive pinata. They have exer¬ cised their talents of penmanship by corresponding with friends in Argentina and Spain and have displayed an orginality and freshness in their artistic pursuits as seen looking at their bulle¬ tin boards. Debbie Scott, President. German Club The purpose of the German Club is to study the habits and cus¬ toms of the Germanic people in the way that is most enjoyable through experience. Activities for the year included an Oktober- fest, a traditional German Christmas Party, and the celebration of Fasching.

Despite the broken bones and other mishaps that seemed to plaque the Eagles, Coach Rose brought his team to a final record of five wins and five losses. As usual, Coach Rose re¬ quested the hardest schedule possible for our Eagles.

Our Varsity Basketball team, with veteran guidance from Coach Carl Hensley, overcame a four game losing streak at the be¬ ginning of the season to win the regular season championship. Co-captains for the year were Doug Compton and Warren Mas- ten. As usual, Coach Hensley requested the toughest schedule possible for the Eagles, and naturally, through team spirit, co¬ ordination, and energy, our Eagles showed the surrounding schools just how great Edison is. Doug shows how to follow through with one’s shots. Where did everybody go? « 220 Coach Hensley, Varsity Basketball Coach. Team No. 1 In y John lays it up for a basket against Fort Hunjti.

This year on the Varsity Basketball Team, every member helped the team to win the regular season championship, rather than one individual. This season, there were only two seniors on the squad. One of them, Doug Compton (co-captain), played his second year in varsity competition. Doug played a tremendous defensive game. He was often seen coming up with the loose ball in the last minute of play to insure a win for the “Big E”. The other senior on the team was Warren Masten, otherwise known as “BUCK” or “MOOSE”. This year, Buck was a thorn in the sides of our opponents. His outside shot was difficult to stop, and often he had to be double-teamed in order to check his threat. Co-captains Doug Compton and Warren Masten. Team Undefeated In District Play Victory. 222 Our boys always showed eagerness. An outstanding junior on the team was Steve Morris. Steve, in his first year on the varsity squad, hit 80% of all foul shots he attempted, and added valuable points to the Eagle’s scoring. “Pistol Pete” DeHaven, a junior, played his second year on Var¬ sity Basketball. Pete was the high scorer for the team, scoring an average of approximately 16 points a game. Another junior. Lynn Lamb, played his first year on varsity this year. A valua¬ ble asset, Lynn scored his share of points, often totaling in double figures each game. “Super Sub” John Love had a re¬ markable quickness and ability to drive under the boards that helped the team considerably. Along with these boys, the other members of the team put in their share of sweat and hard work to get the “Big E” to the top. An unwanted pat on the head. The classic battle in Basketball. 223 Varsity Had 13-5 Re cord “Super Sub” was really flying high that night. Domination is the key word. 224 First Row: H. Barnes, A. Nalls, R. Sims, G. Olsen, N.

Three of the varsity wrestlers were undefeated during the season and in the district tournament. They were Bob Day and Jon Breuleux (who were co-captains of the team), and Colin Morgan. In the dis¬ trict tournament, these three boys were first in their respective weight classes of 127, unlimited, and 175. Calvin Kusaka, wres¬ tling at 95 pounds, who is in his first year on varisty, finished second in district. Steve Ralston, also in his first year on varsity, ended up the third best wrestler in the district in the 103 weight class. Also finishing third was Glenn Roberts in the 133 weight class, and Gary Embrey in the 145 weight class. Finishing fourth in the district tournament was Eddie Thomas, wrestling at 165.

The girls got a lot of experience in all of their games. In every game they played with the needed teamwork. It took a lot of long and hard hours of practice to obtain a good defensive and offensive squad. What ' s up there girls? Taking a breather during the game. 243 Kandy King demonstrates poise in the splits. Gymnastics did not play an important part in the extracur¬ ricular activities at Edison until 1967, when five girls repre¬ sented the school at the State Gymnastic Meet at Yorktown High School. Two girls won honors that year and last year two more girls won honors at the state level. 1969 found the team with ten girls. Two of the girls were from last year’s team. Kandy King won honors at the A.A.U. meet in Richmond. Kandy and Theresa Eppolito will hopefully compete at the State Meet on March 22. One way Theresa Eppolito begins. Future Gymnasts Fir st Row: S.

In order to promote stronger school spirit and greater enthusiasm than previous years, the entire week was devoted to assemblies, rallies, and preparation for the Alumni return. Invitations were sent out to the graduates inviting them to the festivities. Classes were denoted by the colors they were on the specific days assigned to them and for the first time in the history of our school, a “Follies Nite” was held in which various school organizations performed to the theme of “Only Yester¬ day”. Despite the inclimate weather, spirits were high Friday night as Edison soared over West Springfield Spartans for a homecoming victory. This memorable week reached its climax Saturday night as Joy Hilleary was crowned 1968 queen. 258 Junior, Madge Bolinger and escort, David Souser. Junior, Sandy Tharp and escort. Buck Masten.

U). it Co. SERVING NORTHERN VIRGINIA SINCE 1931 285 CONGRATULATIONS! You Are Now Entering the Computer Age—and if your education stops now, it will pass-you-by. . . . “Our greatest need in the future will be for information middle¬ men—those who perform the task of information collection, processing, analysis, and distribution; who design the various new applications and who serve the interpreters of the needs of the physician, the teacher, the lawyer, and the businessman.” For tens of thousands of years, man’s speed of travel was limited to the speed of a running horse. With the advent of the steam engine—the gasoline engine, the jet engine and the rocket en¬ gine—in one century we have witnessed the man on horseback conquer space. Perhaps more dramatic has been the development of the com¬ puter. There was no computer industry, two decades ago. Today, experts predict that at the present rate of growth, the computer industry will soon surpass the auto industry as the nation’s largest. One of the main facets of the computer industry is PEOPLE- WARE. It is this area that will determine the future growth of the industry. The present shortage of adequately trained people is already hampering the growth of this industry. .ify II , P ' P .
