Forward Steps Gloria, the Goddess of all good things did not hide her smiles in the fleecy clouds or. that day when the great high school on Broadway and Verdugo was completed. Ah, no! She smiled brazenly down from the heavens, and she caused the sun to cast a soft, luminous radiance over the happy earth. Yes, indeed, that February day of 1924 was a day for rejoicing. It is no wonder that the good Goddess was so very happy. How easy it would be to learn in a building like this new one, with its wide, sweeping lawns, its green shrubs and nodding flowers, and its clear view of the rolling hills beyond. It stemed as if the ideal dreams of Mr. and Mrs. Moyse, and Mr. Ferguson had materialized in this great building. In addition to the rooms where the teachers taught the purely academic sub- jects, there were buildings where the students received training in the cultural and practical sides of life. When Robbin went to the Goddess Gloria and told her of the wonders of the new school, she was tempted to make a visit to the earth. As she wandered through the rooms of Broadway Union High School she heard the click of typewriters, she saw the rooms where future engineers and architects were making their first mechanical drawings, where artists of tomorrow were startling their friends by their lovely combinations of line and color. She inspected the domestic science rooms where girls were learning to sew, and the cooking laboratories where they were taught to make excellent foods. She visited the appreciation courses where young people were learning to discuss art, literature and music more intelligently. Before she left for home she passed through the shops which were still situated with the freshmen at Harvard. There she watched the boys who were later to startle the mechanical world, making their first models of airplanes and automobiles and she realized that before many years had passed, larger and more mod- ern quarters would be needed. Three years later, the good Goddess again visited the famous halls of learning. She smiled again with joy as she wandered about the campus looking at the new build- ings which had been erected since her last visit to the school. She first visited the girls ' gymnasium and watched them as they played in this building renowned throughout the state for its beauty and completeness of equipment. Even surpassing this was the boys ' wonderful gymnasium. She noted with pleasure the big floor for the major sports, and the smaller rooms for the minor sports. She next visited the new music and classroom building. Part of this fine building was to be given over to the Junior College students. As she walked through the new shop building she thought of the wonderful chance the young mechanics had to tinker here to their hearts ' desire, and sooner or later astound the world with their wonderful achievements. Each of the four long, happy years, hundreds of students bade farewell to their beloved Alma Mater, and passed through her portal, many to enter college, and some to battle with the world well prepared by the administration and their able corps of teachers. The fame of the great school spread beyond the compass of the city, and even the state. People from all parts of the Union heard of its high standing, and sent their children to Calif ornia that they might graduate from Glendale Union High School. .. .. :, .i- :, - - .;- ' '
