Sixteen Winter Park business firms
rolled out their best red carpet to entertain 57 teachers
from Winter Park High and Glenridge Junior High Schools
on August 22.
Round
up time for both hosts and guests was 8:15 at Winter
Park High, where representatives from Winter Park's
leading business firms met the teachers and transported
them to the University Club for a brief and entertaining
introduction to Business Education Day.
Divided
into groups, the teachers spent the entire day with
one firm, studying its operations and learning about
its progress and problems.
All
Glenridge teachers were highly enthusiastic about the
experience, and felt that they had learned much of value
to be passed on to their students.

The
opening session of Glenridge Junior High on August 29
found 1,037 students enrolled for a new school year.
In spite of increased enrollment, the addition of new
rooms, and 20 new faculty members the first day's schedule
ran smoothly.
The
ninth grade class was called to assemble in the auditorium
at 8:25 for devotionals and greetings from Principal
Adrian E. Stockard and Student Council President, Frank
Ferguson. Ninth Grade teachers were introduced and led
their sections to the classrooms.
The
same procedure was followed with the nine eighth grade
sections.
Seventh
Graders were assisted in finding their correct sections
by the following Glenridge Guides:
Mona
Barnhart, Jean Britt, Carol Kay, Judy Lee, Marilyn Logue,
Lee Magee, Sharon May, Connie McDowell, Robin McKenzie,
Paula Nagel, Terry Pignone, Judy Reding, Ginny Rorby,

During
the extended homeroom period each seventh grade section
was visited by the guides, welcomed to Glenridge and
taught the Alma Mater and the Fight Song.
After
an abbreviated daily schedule, all students were dismissed
at 2:30.
| One
of the seventh graders enrolled in Glenridge went
home for the Labor Day weekend and found $580
in the street. It had been lost by a man working
for Mayflower Van Lines.
The
boy took the money to the police who contacted
the driver about 70 miles away.
Needless
to say, the driver was delighted to get the news.
The boy got a $5.00 reward and a good name ...Bob
