Bellevue High School - Comet Yearbook (Bellevue, OH)

Page 9 text:

Mr. Glasgo served the Bellevue Schools during their most critical years. The war years and immediately following, saw a tidal wave of births which swelled enrollments causing an acute shortage of classroom space. ik This problem fell on his shoulders when he assumed the Superinten- dency in 1959. When a bond issue was passed by a good majority on the third attempt, this meant a new high school would be a reality. The Junior high school, which had been closed by the State in 1961, was demolished and converted to a parking space during this period of his leadership. Untold hours were spent by Mr. Glasgo from preliminary planning phase, site acquisition, to Final construction. It was indeed a memorable occasion when the building was brought to its completion and opened for its tirst classes in September of 1963. V I I .ll L 5 g 1 -feat :L i ia 'Elf' - 2 -ff-. 1 5' .

Comet '46 . . . I think there is a definite need for a fifth and sixth year of high school education, says Princi- pal E. S. Glasgo. As a result of the war many high schools will offer junior college work. When the supply catches up with the demand for workers, people will want the boys and girls in school, not competing with labor for hard-to- find employment, As a start this year, five night school courses have been conducted for returning veterans and other adults. This progressive atti- tude is typical of E.S.G., completing his second year as head of B.H.S. 1 , A Q at I ,..-f- 4 . , . P l is ' ,. if 1 A Ag-X X1 .H ,wx DIGHUI0'
