NEW BUILDINGS The class of 1923 is the last class of graduates to leave the portals of the present Glendale Union High School, the place so many have loved and in which hundreds of the youths of the city of Glendale have found a source of joy and inspiration. The weather stained ivy Walls of the high school will live long in the memory of any- one who has spent any part of his youth at Glendale High. But greater than this, greater than the memory of the honored institution, is the influence she has had on the lives of her sons and daughters. Students who have graduated from Glendale have felt and known as they went out into the world that they had gained just a little idea of what problems life held, a knowledge of how their own worth would compare with life, and above all, a definite education dealing with the elementary principles of how to live. lt is a great thing, it is a beautiful thing that exists in the hearts of the students of this school and in the school itself, which teaches young people something about how to live. This invaluable though not tangible teacher is the good old Glendale spirit which has been developed and moulded by loyal stu- dents since the time sessions were held in the Wooden building on th corner of what is now Broadway and Louise Street in the year nineteen hundred one. For twenty- three years not a term has gone by that a new class, a larger class has not entered and for four years contributed to that now glorious spirit which is so much a part of Glendale Union High School. Members of the class of '23 feel that their four years of school life and activities in which they have been vitally interested and in which they have taken no small part are years not void of usefulness but rather years filled with loving work and valuable aid to the standard and spirit of the school. They feel at the end of their course that they have contributed some good if only a very little which the Student Body may carry into the new and beautiful buildings which are to be the future home of Glendale High. The new plant is to be one of the finest schools of Southern California both in its style of architecture and its novel floor plan. The site leaves very little to be desired. Among the orange groves far from the heart of the city it makes an ideal place for study. Having many acres of ground at hand the area for athletic events is almost unlimited. With an unobstructed panoramic view of the Verdugo hills and its vast green campus the new high school will indeed be a place for pleasure as human nature loves it. There will be two separate buildings to the new plant, the architecture of which is entirely Spanish. What exterior ornarnentation there is will be confined to the doors. The main building will show the most improvement over the present school. Here there will be an auditorium with a capacity of two-thousand people. It will have a stage sixty-three feet in length and thirty-three feet in width. A balcony also '22 ,592 ' , , ' Asif-91' - l J 12. ' 'L 'A 1' ' ..

is a new and unexpected feature. Extending parallel t with the length of this assembly room there will be a a 5 , y t X Wi, large, light and airy library on the second Hoor and a LEE?

At the rear of this sec- ,ggzjr ' tion is an extension running westward parallel with 'I:5JfV Broadway, and from this a wing is built along Ver- t 'Aw 'aes v 5, it - 1 X 17 L f , Q , P 1 4 V , 4 1 rj T s I , , , F , ,sit , I 1 jx, DLI W fjv x at A ' T 'i fi i5i51? dugo Road. An artistic and very convenient arcade extends from the exterior of this wing across the ..,, grounds to the central hall. Mathematics and foreign ,','y' if 'i r language rooms will occupy the lower floor of the portion of the building which is a conecting link for the west wing. Above these will be art and history rooms. On the lower floor of the west wing the vast equipment of the Commercial Department will be centered. Above there will be the headquarters of the Domestic Science department. Then there is the science building which is to be erected west of the main section but connected with the same by another arcade. This building will be much the smaller of the two but none the less attractive. As to some of the little niceties for which every student body member will look, first comes the book store. This will be located right in the school building where one can buy everything in the way of school or Student Body supplies from pencil points to little black and red caps. Then next in line is the Student Body office which will be a room twenty-one feet long and sixteen wide. It will be wholly for the purpose of transacting Student Body government business. The class of 723 on ending their high school days desire earnestly and deeply that the true Glendale spirit which has reached such an advanced stage within these honored and time- worn walls, and to which the class has striven to add its litlte bit to make it fuller and bigger may be carried into the new home and made at once an inseparable and indispensible factor therein. y ln this way only can the high standard of Glendale live, and the honor of her name never be lost. As the seniors go, leaving this book in your hands, it is their heart-felt wish that the Glendale High School Student Body will always prosper and ever benefit by the spirit of truth and co-operation. Though ever large of heart and spirit and brilliant accomplishments, Glendale has suffered difficulties these past few years due to over-crowded conditions, The capacity of the present plant is so inadequate that not only have activities been cramped, but all possibilities for greater development in various fields have been practically void. But now a larger sphere is opening, in which the ,,' XX Student Body will have an opportunity to expand A and enjoy bigger things, because the school itself will ' i Af 't have grown to accommodate its bountiful inward re- ,',k f -J ff 'r 4 1, sources and the vast number of future students. The seniors can see .great times ahead for those l whom they are leaving. The beautiful group of build- ings now so rapidly nearing completion, will un- .-p: . doubtedly be ready for occupancy next fall, and the .l graduating class extends the wish to the underclass- A , men that in these new surroundings their accomplish- Q ments during the next year may be even greater A' 1' G ifvil A than those of the past.
