ADMINISTRATION Every ship has a captaing every army has a generalg every organization has a presidentg and every high school has a principal. In Glenbard Principal F. L. Biester is the one who holds the reins keeping some eleven hundred students in check. It is his duty to run the school in a way that will keep Glenbard in the superior position it has attained under his leadership. Miss Ruth McLean, assistant principal, aids him in attaining this end. Cin- deed, proving her ability, Miss McLean can bring about as great a silence by entering a classroom as Mr. Biester himself.J Perform- Board of Education: Ray E. Carlsong Alvin M. Glahng Mrs. Marjorie Jorgcsong Gilford H. Hill, presidentg Mrs. Helene R. Morgang George D. Millerg A. O. Osterling. .ff - - -- Y -- ----- rv- ---- -' -----'A- ing the numerous routine duties necessary in the function of any high school is an office staff composed of Mrs. Frances Kay, three year veteran, Miss Mildred Berggren, and Miss Lois Haberstich. The latter two took up their duties in February. A behind the scenes group of administra- tors is the Board of Education. Elected by the public this group determines the policies upon which the school is to be run and hovv these policies are to be carried out. In addition it levies taxes to obtain funds for the operation of the school, hires teachers, janitors, and other school employees, and determines the school's budget each year. In other words this body has supreme authority, and from it ultimately proceeds all impor- 0 tant administrative functions. Again pre- sident of this group was Mr. Gilford H. Hill. The six directors included the follow- ing: Mr. Ray C. Carlson, Mr. Alvin M. Glahn, Mrs. Marjorie Jorgeson, Mr. George D. Miller, Mrs. Helene Morgan, and Mr. A. O. Osterling.

First Quarter With the ringing of the tardy bell on September 8, Glenbard opened the first quarter of the school year of 1941-1942. One thou- sand one hundred and five students e n t e r e d Glen- bard's portals, some for the last time, some for the first time, to follow that well-loved custom of America-going to school. To most students the first quarter proved a pleasant sample of the remaining school year. W 44' o 'KZ Q. M -QW' 'Wim' if , N ' ' B I m ot Campaigning, ut ..... X Elections in Glenbard are unusual because of the lack of campaigning. The second school week each section voted for a president and vice-president. Their duties are to collect ac- tivity ticket payments, to take charge of the section's voting, and to direct any type of business designated to be taken care of in the sections. After this election had taken place, each section nominated candidates for the Athletic Association. The presidents met and selected two candidates for the presidency and twelve for the directorships. The pur- poses of this association are to promote more pep among the students and sell tickets to the athletic contests. We Want YO U Various organizations in Glenbard intro- duced themselves to the students in the first convocation of the year. The president of each club, open to students in general, explained the ideals and purposes of the club he or she represented and the qualifications for mem- bership. Clubs represented were the Girl Re- serves and Girls' Athletic Association, open to any and all girlsg and the Hi-Y, open to all boys. The following few weeks membership drives took place. Tables were set up in the hall for the convenience of persons wishing to join. Each club carried on a successful drive and got a good start for the year. Y W Give 'em the AX! West Aurora was the scene of Glenbard's first football games of the year, two pre-con- ference tilts in which both the freshman- sophomore and heavyweight teams were en- gaged. What if West Aurora did roll all over the boys? Glenbard entered upon the confer- ence gace undaunted by the double defeat sus- taine . The More We Get Together Clubs in Glenbard were all set to go when school began. The Ike Waltons were the first club to meetg then the Science Club and G.A.A. opened the year, the G.A.A. with movies of A.A.A. camp and a dramatic sketch. The Pan-American League had a speaker on Mexi- co. Presented at the Hi-Y's first get-together was a talk on club principles and the induction of members by candlelight. A style show was featured by the G.R. while the Art Club inspected a model home. Plans to decorate and buy a radio phonograph for the activities room took up Ipso Facto's time. Le Cercle Francais played games in French, while Kits and Skits initiated new members, and the Latin Club gave a play. All groups got off to a rollicking start. Lemon or Cream? At the first faculty tea of the year, tea was the main attraction. Teachers sat and gossip- ed while the latest scandals quickly made the rounds. Many were glad to be back in schoolg others had misgivings about starting the old grind again. After a boisterous game of tiddlywinks, the session adjourned, all look- ing eagerly forward to the next faculty gath- ering. Frosh Frolic Freshmen were in their heydey when the date of their get-acquainted party arrived. The seniors were jealous but in a paternal way, for they remembered their own freshman get- together.
