George E. Bettinger To the Stucient Body: Statistics may be dry and uninteresting, but a reading of the statistics of school enrollment as issued by the State Department of Education shows that there are but sixteen senior high schools in the State of California which nw merically are larger than Alhambra High School. How- ever, mere size does not necessarily produce quality. Too often the rapid growth of an organization has meant its ultimate downfall or sin ing to mediocrity because the organization and the personnel could not eep up with the physical growth. We have had a phenomenal growth during the past four years in numbers en- rolled, in variety of new courses offered, in new organizatio-)is within the school, and in cthletic success. A student body became of its size becoming indifferent to any of these features will cause the school to fall into a second rate position. The big job lying ahead of the members of the student body of the Alhambra City High School is to realize that the welfare of the school rests in their eeping, that its progress rests in their eeping, and that its reputation rests in their eeping. May there never he anyone leave us who has not been proud to have contributed to the progress of the Alhambra City High Schooi. George E. Bettinger, Principal. Seventeen
