RKO STUDIO 4 78gGOWER STREET HOLLYW CALIFORNIA ,X . ff :,1TT 9 April 1947 Miss Margaret Kester 22 Jorth Hidalgo Avenue Alhambra, California Dear Miss Kester: It is gratifying to me to learn that as the theme for your 1947 annual you have chosen the same central idea as presented in nIt's a Wonderful Lifeng that this is a wonderful life, indeed. And when Clarence, George Bailey's guardian angel tells him how important George is to others - nStrange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?n my feeling is that he's telling all of us a truth we should never forget as long as we live. Think of your own life and how many other lives it has touched and Clarence's statement will never qrow dim in your mind. There are times in our lives, perhaps, that we may feel we are no more important than a digit in a census report. If and when that time comes, harken to Clarence's words. Give freely of yourself to your friends and to the community in which you may live, and I am sure that, like these years you have spent at Alhambra City High School, you will always be able to say to yourself at all times: IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE! Sincerely yours, Dwaifw FRANK CAPRA

w. 'U x. 5 K X., MRS. MILDRED CROSSWHITE Girls' Vice-Principal It must have been difficult for you to adapt yourself to your new, quiet surroundings. And we heard from good authority that for the first few days when the bell rang, you raced madly from your office, your roll book in hand, Calling, Crosswhite's rolll Snap it up! We appreciate your interest in our wel- fare, your enthusiasm and helpful- ness, and your desire to make these school years pleasant ones. MR. ROBERT GRAY Boys' Vice-Principal When we heard that you were coming to us from a school at the other end of town, we had many misgivings about your liking us. And we know, for instance, that you were torn between two loves-at Moor Field, Nov. 23, I947, that is. But after two years of proper puri- fication, or endoctrination, you have shown that your chief concern lies here at Alhambra. By your friendly manner and your willingness to do more than your share you reveal that you are a Moor at heart, after all.
