               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.
