oxide was then used for medicinal purposes only New buildings were added as enrollment In creased, and in l924 the Administration Building as we know it today, was dedicated By this time Garvey and San Gabriel students had seen the light and were attending Al- hambra High School. However, even good things can be overdone, and in the late thirties enrollment had reached a point where students were so thick-not mentally, you understand--that staggered classes became necessary. In tact, everyone was staggering around in confusion under the 4200 en- rollment load. lt was then all the good citizens realized the need for another high school. In Febru- ary Mark Keppel, the home of our country cousins, was opened. We students of Alhambra High School are proud of our school and all that it stands for. May its next fifty years bring new laurels to its name. But PLEASE, if you know anyone who has a vacant lot or a part of his back yard which he no longer needs, tell him that we would like to build a new school there. The fire and ambu- lance sirens on Main X 1 Street are exciting, but they certainly do ,,,,f take our minds oft - - our work.

Artistic Calm Posed, No Doubt . . . . . OF COURSE YOU'VE NOTICED THE BULLETIN BOARDS THAT LINE THE HALLS of AHS. But you wouldn't if it weren't for the clever posters and illustrations that our art students make to announce forthcoming dances, elections, and other school projects. The department has always offered an abundance of courses, even at the beginning of formal art classes in 1906. At that time, basic courses such as graphic art, still life drawing, and figure drawing were given. In l9l0-l2, when the first annuals appeared in AHS, the department introduced a course in Annual Design. The department has continued throughout the years to work hard and contribute to the success of the annual. Today, new techniques and crafts challenge the most enterprising students of art. The curriculum, which includes costume design, stagecraft, commercial art, and ceramics among others, is varied enough to accommodate all students' interests. The department hopes to have original paintings in every school room. Already many of the rooms have them, some being painted by alumni. This fact alone is prophetic of the next fifty years' growth of the department. U51
