BOARD OF EDUCATION E. L. FARMER, President MRS. LILLIAN M. GILSTRAP, Vice-Pres. MRS. NELLIE A. GOUDGE L. D. WHITE T1-los. A. BERKEBILE The Alhambra City Charter provides for the election of the Board of Educa- tion. The Board's duties, powers, and manner of functioning are, however, con- trolled by the state laws regulating the administration of all public schools. Our local Board consists of tive members, elected by vote of the electors of the district-Our Board governs two school districts, the Alhambra City School District, comprising all of the City of Alhambra and most of Monterey Park, and the Alhambra City High School District, which embraces all of Alhambra, Mont- erey Park, Garvalia School District and San Gabriel School District. The two districts, elementary and high schools do not coincide. Under the elementary system there are 4234 pupils enrolled, requiring the employment of 114 teachers. These are housed in eight schools in different sec- tions of the district- . Park School Garfield Avenue School Ramona School Granada School Freemont School Central School Inez School. Marengo Avenue School The Alhambra City High School has an enrollment of 1895 pupils requiring the employment of 81 teachers. It is for the purpose of administering the affairs of these districts that the Board exists. It meets in regular sessions on the first and third Thursday even- ings of each month, and in special sessions at such times as business requires. It is the duty of the Board to devote its energies and judgment to the solving of the school problems. It is likewise the duty of every citizen to lend all possible aid in advancing the interests of the schools, to attend meetings, to offer sugges- tions, and to advance friendly and constructive criticism. Co-operation is neces- sary to success. The schools are growing rapidly, and with the growth new problems are con- tinually confronting those interested. It should be the business of each to assist to the limit of his ability. BOARD OF EDUCATION, E. L. Farmer, President. Twenty

WINTER CLASS OF '25 Alhambra High was aroused from her slumbers to Find that she had another peppy class-The IVinter Class of 1925. Not until a year before our graduation was our class organized and recognized as a real class of A. H. S. Though we were small we turned out wonderfully in all line of activities. During our career we had a large representation in track and without our fellows A. H. S. could never have been so successful in track. In basketball we had a Hne showing both in teams and in the grandstand. The coach will agree that we made some valuable contributions to football. Qur class has also been well represented on the Spotlight and Alhambra Staff, and many of the official student body offices. One of the most successful events of A. H. S. was our class play, The Intimate Strangers. This was a financial success, enabling us to present a wonderful Class Nite as well as our school gift and commencement program. XVe feel proud of our record. Although we hate to leave dear old A .H. S. We are glad we are able to depart and leave a successful and boastful record. Much credit for our success should be given to Mrs. Clements our class adviser, who was always ready to help. Ted Conner, President. Twenty-two
