GLENDALE HIGH SCHOOL 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
______
HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF
of california
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, May 15, 2001
Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise to ask my colleagues to join me in
congratulating Glendale High School, which celebrates 100 years of
academic excellence on May 19, 2001. This was the first high school in
the city of Glendale and famous alumni include actors John Wayne and
Madeline Stowe, athletes, Brooklyn Dodger Babe Herman and 3 time track
Olympian Frank Wykoff, and entrepreneur Bob Wian, founder of Bob's Big
Boy restaurants.
Glendale High has grown from an initial enrollment in 1901 of 23
students, but today hosts 3500 students, each of whom receives a
comprehensive educational experience designed to prepare them with the
skills, knowledge and training necessary to achieve individual goals
and to participate as a productive and responsible member of our ever-
changing society and in our own multi-cultural environment.
One of the keys to the success of Glendale High School are the
independently-organized parent groups that are committed to continued
involvement with the school. Another innovation is the unique grade-
level student support services, which counsel and follow students from
the time they enter until the time they graduate from Glendale High
School.
Please help me in congratulating co-principals Mrs. Gloria Vasquez
and Mike Livingston, as well as all students, alumni, friends and
family of Glendale High School on their 100 anniversary.
