GLENRIDGE OPENS NEW SCHOOL PLANT MARCH 12TH

   "Even as I please all men in all
things, not seeking mine own profit
but the profit of many.."I Cor.10:13"

   As we are told in the above quotation from the Bible, this fine new school plant will only stand as a symbol of beauty and education with a capital "E" if each of us is careful and considerate of the building and of each other. This can be done by watching our hands, keeping them clean and off of the building and cross pieces, by not defacing the property, obeying the rules and regulations, walking in the corridors, and "doing unto others as we would be done by".

   The observation of the Golden Rule is essentially the only rule necessary. The fewer rules we must impose otherwise the better.

   But this is not the most important way we can profit. It is to carry on the fine Glenridge school spirit we have started -- displaying the fine sportsmanship as shown by our school team.

   Let us carry on in the fine Glenridge way and leave the good profit for "the many". Thank you for your fine spirit and your excellent cooperation.

   Yours for the Glenridge way....

   Glenridge Junior High School opened their new plant on Glenridge Way, Winter Park, on March 12, 1956. It is a modern plant covering 18 acres.

   Principal A. E. Stockard, ably assisted by Miss Mary Shiver, assistant principal, Mrs. Dorothy Allen, the school secretary, and a faculty of 21, supervised the move from Signal Hill over the previous weekend. Many of the students rolled up their sleeves and worked right along, hour for hour.

   Monday morning found business as usual in the new school. Lunch was served in the well-equipped cafetorium without undue confusion.

   The classrooms are large, all being equipped with northern light, ample blackboard space, two tack boards, clocks, cross ventilation, office controlled speakers, and modern no-shadow lights.

   Upon driving up to the school, the entrance has two driveways, one for cars and one for the buses, with a covered loading platform.

   The first wing of the modern building contains the administrative offices and eight classrooms

   The second wing houses the rest rooms, eight classrooms, including two science-equipped laboratories, and the book room. At the end of this wing the corridor leads at the east end to the cafetorium and the art, music and industrial arts departments.
