Glenwood School Museum
Glenwood School is seeped in tradition. No longer does Glenwood have 550 acres of land, a farm, swimming pool, baseball team, football team, track team, weight training, high school, sheet medal shop, welding classes, radio classes, electricity classes, ROTC, 5th Army Area military program, or military drills with real rifles. Students no longer work at Maintenance, learn food preparation and baking at Butler Hall, Alumni no longer go up north as camp counselors or camp workers. There is no more singing in the camp dining room!
As time goes forward the present students have no idea what was so dear to the older alumni, yet they are interested in hearing the stories of what Glenwood was in the past. The Glenwood Staff doesn't understand why the alumni feel the importance of this small segment of our lives. They fail to realize that when we left Glenwood, many of us had spent half our lives there.
To preserve these memories for ourselves and our posterity, the Association was granted space to develop a museum. Alumnus Ray Borgia gathered Glenwood memorabilia from the school, gymnasium, Administration building and Publicity to preserve the past. Becoming the curator, he solicited new frames for the team and Class pictures and developed wall displays with alumni donor funds.
