Jlmn and 'How .... Time Marches on- Twenty-iive years ago people were jogging along in the enthusiasm of a post-war era. Women were experimenting with daring new hair-bobs and were shortening their dresses. Their husbands, harnessed in ear phones, were sitting for end- less hours at their crystal sets, waging a losing battle with sta- tic. More children were going to school than ever before in this country's history. School enrollments were leaping high, and towns were beginning great building campaigns. So it came about that in 1922 the thriving communities of Glenolden and Norwood began to dream of a new high school that would meet the needs of their children. Glen-Nor High School is the outgrowth of an idea conceived by a group oi progressive citizens from Glenolden and Norwood. The laying of the cornerstone on May 20, 1922, marked the fulfill- ment of a dream. The first session of school, held on April 3, 1923, marks the beginning of Glen-Nor's history. Time Marches On- Today is another post-war era that won't soon be forgot- ten. Marking it are wedding bells in austere Britain for Princess Elizabeth, trouble with Russia's vetos, bloodshed over the Pal- estine partition, inflation here at home, hunger abroad, and ei- forts on the part of the U. N. to bring about peace. Fashion circles are taking women back to the days of the Gibson girl, with yards of long swirling skirts, with bustles, and fish-tails, drapes and bows. Men are watching their new television sets. With the first crop of war babies now reaching school age, kindergartens are bursting and overflowing. Towns are again beginning to plan for an expanded future. Time Marches On- To Glen-Nor, the year 1948 is a particular milestone- the school's silver anniversary. In line with celebrating this an- niversary, the Chieftain is attempting to record the high- lights of G-N's achievements during the past twenty-five years and to emphasize the rapid progress which it has made in those years. May the next quarter century prove just as fruitful! .F
