Glen Nor High School - Chieftain Yearbook (Glenolden, PA)

Page 10 text:

The men and women who are most responsible for our school's policy, and yet are probably the least known to the student body, are those citizens of Glenolden and Norwood who form our School Board. Since the day Glen-Nor came into existence there have been many of these, all of them vitally interested in community youth, Officers of that important first board included a presi- dent, vice president, and secretary: F. H. Roberts, Robert Lewis. and Lamont Stewart, respectively. Officers of today's board include a president and a treasurer, who are members ot the elected body, and, as of this year, a secretary hired by the group. Serving in these capacities are W. Rust, I. S. Hebden and Mrs. B. Stewart, respectively. sm MR. W. W. Rusr President Mn. I. S. Hnannu Mx. I. W. Lauren Mn. H. C. HILL Treasurer Mn. O. Slmnnrncsn Mn. I. Rlcxrn Mn. R. Nmwr: Mns. D.

ll ll Mn. Mnnun R. O'NnA1. In recognition of his four years of outstanding service to Glen- Nor, the Chieftain staff gratefully dedicates this yearbook to Mr. Marlin Ray O'Neal. Mr. O'Neal was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He has at- tended Shenandoah College, Dayton, Virginiag Lebanon Valley Col- lege, Anneville, Pennsylvaniag and the University of Pennsylvania. He came to Glen-Nor with much experience after having taught in the F ul- ton and Drumore Township Schools, Lancaster County, and the Pros- pect Park Schools, Delaware County. During his few years here at Glen-Nor, he has shown himself to be an invaluable addition to the faculty. As director ot all music or- ganizations, he has made the name Glen-Nor famous throughout the County. Under his leadership, the Band, including the Color Guards and Majorettes, has taken many honors tor uniforms, musical ability, and parade tactics in the annual Kiwanis Music Festival and in the annual Secondary School Band Day sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania. The Glee Club also has been immeasureably strength- ened so that it is now one of the most popular school organizations. Other musical groups that are gaining merited prominence are the Swing Band and the Brass Choir. Highlight of the year for all of these groups is the Spring Concert, when the community has a chance to ap- preciate the intense effort put forth throughout the seasons by all the participants. As sponsor of the Class of '48, Mr. O'Neal has demonstrated hard working powers and untold patience, despite the obstacle course he has had to run for the past three years. Perhaps the gratitude of the class for a job wcll done has not always been evident, but deeply ingrained in the hearts of all seniors is appreciation for the sponsor's unsellish efforts in their behalf. To Mr. Marlin O'Neal is extended, therefore, on behalf of the school and the senior class, a hearty thank you.

Farewell, members of the Class of 1948: I am sorry to see you leave Glen-Nor, but in or- der to fulfill your destiny you must continue with your plans for the future. My sincere wish is that you may secure the ad- vancement you merit, and that the joys of the com- mencement season may be the forerunner of future suc- cesses together with contentment in your chosen fields. In parting, allow me to congratulate you on having received a liberal education from a generous community and a conscientious faculty. Success is within your grasp. You have sowed the seeds which will, if properly nurtured, bear fruit of which you can be justly proud. I have shared your joys and your sorrows, your successes and your failures. Now it will give me great pleasure to follow your progress in the game of life. At all times feel assured that Glen-Nor has re- served an important place for you in her garden of Russsu. E. BAMBERGER, M.S. Gettysburg College Supervising Principal memories. lElID GUIDHIICE As seniors, you are no atom bombs or super structures, but in your own world you have the po- tential power to do great things. Today-through knowledge won in class and on the field, through the endeavor of those who have tried so hard to point the way, you are ushered into a new way of life. You have reached but a plateau in life, the fruits are far above. You alone know the task you must be willing to tackle. May you recall days sparked by your quest for knowledge and memorable hours made gay by plea- sure, but may you not forget the mistakes which served as guideposts to a fuller preparation. Now you will join the throng of those who passed before you, and-WE WISH YOU WELL. May your achievements grow nobler with the years, and may reminiscences include many times thoughts of your alma mater. EDGAR E. Rrcmmns Russnu. E. BAMBERGER EDGAR E. RICHARDS, M. ED.
