The picture at left shows the first unit in the Glenbard Township High School erected in 1922- 1923. It included everything west of the tower. In 1926 the old library and all rooms west of the archway, and in 1931 the auditorium and com- mercial rooms were added. The gymnasium was enlarged, and the foods' classrooms constructed in 1939-1940, parts of the final addition were opened in March, 1953. It contained a new li- brary, additional cafeteria space, classrooms, and rooms for the music and mechanical arts depart- ments. The old library and offices were converted into new office space for the administration and counselors. Mr. Arthur Holtzman, the school's first principal, was contacted and asked to prepare a few words for the 1953 Pinnacle. His statement follows: The success of any venture is predicated almost entirely on the loyalty of the individuals responsible. Today you at Glenbard have everything. ln the fall of 1915 we had nothing. No student body, no cur- riculum, no building, but when the students who composed the first classes of Glen Ellyn High School, assembled for their first meeting, they had what One of the classrooms in the first unit of the school is shown at the right. Miss Trow- bridge, who loaned this photograph to the Pinnacle for reproduction, commented on con- ditions at Glenbard as she found them when she came in 1921. For cooperation, school spirit, student attitude, and scholastic ability, Glenbard was tops. No one could have had nicer first years of teaching experience. you can't find in books: A Team Spirit, a great desire to have their own school regardless of the obstacles. So I salute the first two graduation classes of Glen Ellyn High School, and their first Board of Education. They are the ones who made Glenbard possible.' My second salute goes to Fred Biester, a great Educational Administrator. Thirty-five years out of thirty-eight is a unique record. Never has a recom- mendation of mine turned out so well.
