Mr. William E. Glenn Builds a Winning Tradition As a teacher at VHS for ten years, Mr. William E. Glenn has built a winning tradition for the Dis- tributive Education Club. DE students have gained local, state, and national recognition. These honors have supplemented the school’s academic and athletic achievements. Besides innumerable local triumphs, the DE Club has eight times brought home the title of State DE Club-of the Year. Each year club representatives attend the National DE Convention in Chicago. There, under the guidance of Mr. Glenn, the local group has won an array of honors: Best DE Student in the Nation, Marilyn Ry- kard, 1962; Best DE Club in the Nation, 1961; two national offices; and first place in three national con- tests, speech and sales demonstration. But Mr. Glenn, while impressed by the hard work of the club he sponsors, rates these triumphs as sec- ondary to his role as a teacher. Although he comes in contact with only a limited number of seniors through DE, Mr. Glenn is well known to the upper- classmen as senior class sponsor. He supervises the Senior Day chapel program. Senior Day activities, the graduation banquet, and the senior class play. For his winning ways both as a DE coordinator and as a teacher, the seniors of 1966 voted to dedicate the yearbook to Mr. Glenn. II
