1923-1948. What a period of progress for school cmd locale! From one small building of 15 rooms, Glen-Nor has grown to one of twenty-four, not to speak of the four administrative offices, the cafeteria, the auditorium, the athle- tic field, and the huge gym which are now part of it. From transportation along Chester Pike in trolley cars and a definite lack in recreational facilities, the community has progressed to transportation in streamlined buses, and to taking life easy in two new li- braries, five new parks tone of which totals 42 acres, and a new theatre. Truly, this has been a quarter century of real development! INSET: G1en4Nor High School in 1923. 1 pfwqftw in ,ichonl dxaq gt 1

I, Glen-Nor, having survived inflations, depressions, wars, and peace, am celebra- ting my 25th birthday. Coach says the 25th year marks the end of those days of the awkward age. Gee, so I'm now full-grown. Me, just about to enter that good old prime of life. But before I put away childish things, I'll take one last nostalgic look through my scrap book. You know, I really was a New Year's Day baby, for it was on New Year's Day. 1921, that Norwood and Glenolden school board members F. H. Roberts, H. E. Allmang, E. M. Child, L. Coxe, I. L. Stewart, R. Lewis, S. C. Might, C, Duke, D. Englehart, and I. O. Howartte signed the agreement to erect me. Elan-'Finn Say, there's Dr. Carl Leech. Let me see, yes, it was in April' 22 that he was elected to be my first principal, but a principal with- out a school. You see, it wasn't until October 1922 that I first became an entity with grades ranging from the seventh to the eleventh. Before complete arrangements for my use could be made, the grammar schools of the two boroughs started the high school education of my first students. And there's a picture of another parade. It was the first day of school in the new building-April 3, 1923-an event to be her- alded by a dignified procession from old quarters to new. What a rugged looking spe- cimen I was then-a sea of mud all around me, scaffolding still up, and tractors still leveling the ground. J Mr. Bamberger in his renovated office.
