A genuine interest in youth, enthusiasm, ALHAMBRA BOARD OF EDUCATION-ltopl Mr. Willard H. Clarke lpres.l, Mr. John H. Clay, Mr. Je o e F lbottoml Mrs. Dorothy Mather, Mr, Laurence N. Wolfe, Mrs, Margaret Bishop lsec, to supt.J. Take a genuine interest in youth, add unlimited enthusiasm, fold in good iudgment and energy, season with optimism and that necessary public support, then mix well. The result is, of course, none other than the Board of Education, a group of civic-minded people who have high hopes for us and continually work for our benefit. They must face the bugbear of education, public pressure, and draw good, sound conclusions on the many phases of school administration in their advisory capacity as board members. Their chief objective now, according to Superin- tendent of Schools Maurice R.

This is not a new proiect but is one that has been in prospect for thirty years. Twice bonds have been passed, but each time the money was used to con- struct new high schools in the district. And old Al- hambra High School is still awaiting its day. Every- one is very optimistic and hopeful that there will be a new, and even better, AHS in the near future. The plans for the new plant very definitely cen- ter on the needs and convenience of the students. There is to be a student activity room which will contain signature tiles of alumni, trophies, and oth- er mementos exemplifying the history and tradi- tions of our school. This modern and simple, yet attractive, structure will provide access between buildings on upper floors, covered passage ways for those rainy days, good ventilation and lighting, and a limitation of noise interference. It will be adaptable to future plans with a provision for tele- vision, supplementary teaching machines, and oth-
