19 $ ; ' 18 Dreams Realized In 1927, the great school had an enrollment of almost 3,000 students, and the Goddess Gloria, as she gazed down from the heavens, decided that yet another school was needed in the city; so wee red Robbin was sent for the fourth time with his mes- sage, this time that the people should vote a bond for over a million dollars. The people were reluctant, at first, to listen to these whispers of Robbin, so the tiny red clothed elf conceived the plan of whispering into the ears of the students themselves that the battle now was theirs. The High School students took the hint. Hundreds of young people spent their time after school canvassing the streets and homes for votes. They talked to their mothers, their fathers, their friends. As a result, the bonds passed with a vote of 4 to 1, and the new high school and a Junior College was secured. So the loving Goddess of all good things is smiling down upon us now as many hands are rushing to prepare the great buildings in the North West. She is satisfied now that next year all the eager seekers of knowledge will be well taken care of. Yes indeed, it has been a great progress from the attic rooms on Broadway to these two great palaces of learning. Never again will the Goddess Gloria dip her head in the fleecy clouds. She will smile radiantly down from the heavens forever. She is happy, beca use she feels that her work in Glendale has been good. Sketch of the New Glendale Union High School West. Sixteen
