Glendale Union High School football team picture. The football helmets seen between some players' feet look extremely pliable. From the 1920's thru 1940's helmets always were strictly of leather construction, and were not mandatory until the 1930's. One member of this Glendale football team, Marion Morrison, seated in the front row, third from the right, nicknamed "Duke", was a star football player, Senior class president, and sports editor of the school newspaper. "Duke" Morrison graduated in 1925, stumbled into acting, and later became known as John Wayne. Glendale High School is located at 1440 East Broadway.
