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
