Alhambra, California, April 26, 1934. STUDENT BODY or ALI-IAMBRA HIGH SCHOOL: It is the desire of this office to extend sincerest congratulations to the staff of the Alhambran for the completion of a project as ambitious as the present Year Book. At the same time, we wish to assure the entire student body of our loyal and abiding in- terest in their welfare, and in them as individuals. There is only one of me for you to know: there is a multitude of you for me to know. I Wish that I could greet each of you by name. That is obviously impossible, how- ever, you may be sure that when your probf lems bring you to this oflice you will be welcome and will receive sincere consider- ation. We regard your welfare as our most important business. B. H. GIBBON, Superintendent of Schools. Fifteen

Fourteen March 14, 1934. It has been my privilege to watch Alhambra High School develop from a small school into one of the very large edu- cational organizations of the State of Cali- fornia. During the years in which Alhambra High School was small, practically every student was personally acquainted with every other one. This condition produces a friendly, personal spirit and intense school loyalty which is so often lacking in the machine-like operations of a very large organization. It has been interesting and at times a little discouraging to see a changed student attitude creep upon us. We no longer are a single unit, but many small groups, each of which knows little of the aims and de- sires of the others. Figuratively, our left hand does not know what our right is doing and this breeds misunderstanding and lack of unified support. If the friendly spirit can be recaptured and the great loyalty to the school itself maintained, the future of Al- hambra High School is assured. Sincerely, GEO. W. BETTINGER, Principal.
