Alhambra High School - Alhambran Yearbook (Alhambra, CA)

Page 13 text:

Developing the very best youth has to offer, Mrs. Ruth Boone has served AHS and thousands of Moors for thirty- one years. Youth, and all its problems, interests, and ioys, is this talented woman's by-word and standard . . . Moors have experienced success after success largely be- cause of her tireless efforts in the field of stage design and art direction. The yearbooks, Senior Plays, Talent Shows, and dances have been unique and distinctive be- cause of this devoted instructor's artistic genius with young people . . . Because of her sincere dedication to the goals of youth it is only fitting that this iournal of young people, the 1961 ALHAMBRAN, be dedicated to Mrs. Ruth Boone. Alhambra High School is privileged to have not only one, but two, equally devoted annual advisers. It is in this other team member, Mr. Ed Edmondson, that we find one dedicated to both his literary and business staffs. Patiently he reviews and corrects copy, while inspiring business staffers to secure more advertising to make each yearbook a success . . . For twenty years he has willingly helped Alhambra High School produce consistently prize- winning yearbooks . . . His years of outstanding service to youth's hopes have earned the dedication of the 1961 ALHAMBRAN to Mr. Ed Edmondson. EDITORS NOTE: This special dedication was arranged without the knowledge of advisers. The ALHAMBRAN is indebted to these two people and will greatly miss their combined talents. iQ
