14 Coryell Ctlstrap Montgomery Magill Hartsig Yelland Board of Education TO the Student Body of A.H.S I fully appreciate how distasteful it would be for me to preach to you, but there are two thoughts I would like to leave with you. Firstly, there is what is known as school spirit A.H.S. has school spirit, but it can have more. It is intolerant of conditions which will bring reproach upon the school, and the accomplishment of this ideal, to be successful must come from the student body itself. And then there is appreciation of educational opportunities. We all hope for success in our endeavors and the pass key to success is a good education. In this, I speak from experience, because all my life I have had to work harder to accomplish things I set out to do, because it was impossible for me to receive a complete educa- tion. And lastly, I want to say this to you, that nowhere have I seen a finer group of young women and young men than is gathered together at A.H.S. I am for you 100 ' ; H, H MONTGOMERY, President Board of Education.

We have measured up well in various departmental and achievement tests. Our scholastic standing has been advanced. Rich in scholarship. The athletic teams, debating teams and other groups that come before the public have performed creditably and well. Rich in extra-curricular accomplishment. Alhambra High graduates have achieved success and prominence in colleges and universities during the past year. Rich in honors. FORREST V. ROUTT, Superintendent of Schools. Student Body, Alhambra City High School For the past two years and a half the world has been suffering with an eco- nomic disease that has shaken the foundations of the established framework of our daily life which we had thought too firmly fixed to ever fall again before a depressed financial condition The pillars supporting the cultural superstructure of our life have been warped and weakened and threaten to fall. The reaction to economic privation is felt everywhere It discourages the old and dependent even to self destruction, it turns the experienced middle generation into either a cynical channel or rushes it into a pleasure seeking day to day existence. Fortunately the generation in high school today have still the buoyancy of youth unembittered by disappointments. To you now in high school is set the task of not losing faith in the ideals of democracy, nor belief but that our present conditions are only a passing phase of history out of which will develop through education a more satisfactory American life. Sincerely, CEO. E. BETTINCER, Principal.
