Their goal-an educationa MR. GILBERT L. STROTHER Principal A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE is taken by Mr. Gilbert Strother, principal, and eager students Paulette Olsen and Dick Berls. steel, concrete Building a school around an educational cur- riculum is a difficult and arduous task, but if attacked with fortitude and foresight, a dream school can materialize. A new, modern, well- equipped high school will welcome students in 1963, yet plans for this new plant have been go- ing on for years, and today we find ourselves in the midst of demolition, reiuvenation, and con- stant growth and construction. Alhambra High School, in l963, will be, in the eyes of architects as well as those of educa- tors, a school that was built around the program and curriculum. The goal is an educational stand- ard, expressed in wood, steel, concrete, and bricks. Because of foresight girls will cross Third Street only once a day, because of foresight all academic classes will be placed as far away as possible from music and drama classes, and be- cause of foresight the city of Alhambra will again be proud of its high school system. lt is not easy to build a house, let alone a school, and there is one man who can attest to that fact. His narne is Gilbert L. Strother, princi- pal of Alhambra High School. This far-seeing man can substantiate the remark that there are not one hundred details, but lOOl details to take care of before a grain of dirt can be turned. Suggestions from teachers and department heads, the problems of construction and demo- lition noise-all are in the day of the Big Chief.

,lawn-N I-4-f MAURICE R. STOKESBARY Superintendent of Alhambra Schools 'il MARGARET BISHOP Secretary To Superinfendent These are iusT The beginnings. Buildings are already Tumbling down around our ears. In Their place will rise a new look, a new audiTorium seaTing TiTTeen hundred people, an expandable gym, a new sTudenT governmenT room where pasT will mingle wiTh The presenT. This is The new look for AHS in 1963. The consTrucTion aT AHS, however, is noT all ThaT The Board of EducaTion has been handling. The elemenTary school disTricT has also been un- der a consTrucTion-rehabiliTaTion program. By Sep- Tember of 1961 The elemenTary schools will be back on regular school Time and in safe, well- equipped classrooms. ln November The Alham- bra Board of EducaTion approved The annexaTion of The MonTerey Hills disTricT. These adminisTra- Tors are conTinually meeTing, and wiTh progress. These concerned adminisTraTors are also look- ing far inTo The TuTure of Alhambra. The possi- biIiTies of having an acTual junior college are noT so far away. Though This is merely in The earliesT sTages, Alhambra is looking ahead. We aT Alhambra High School owe much To Those who guide, advise, and Teach us. We oTTen TorgeT how much sincere help and Time Those nine anxious people render us. Alhambra's re- alizaTion of a new high school would never have maTerialized had noT The Board of EducaTion, Su- perinTendenT Maurice STokesbary, and AssisTanT SuperinTendenTs RoberT F. Gray, Charles Scanlon, and Dr. Elmer Ensz cared abouT The TuTure of Alhambra's children and leaders of Tomorrow. a . ROBERT F. GRAY DR. ELMER ENSZ CHARLES C.

This non-TypisT does noT find much Time To de- voTe To her unique hobby however. On her busy schedule Mrs. LuTTrell advises The Commission, The Pep Squad, and heads various commiTTees, which includes her work wiTh The American Field Service program. BuT The IargesT and mosT difficulT iob ThaT faces Mrs. LuTTrell is her work in The capaciTy of Girls' Vice-Principal. This varied iob calls for anyones using her shoulder for a good cry and absorbing all kinds of problems. As counselor To more Than a Thousand girls, The girls' vice is consTanTly meeTing new and differenf siTuaTions. Each one is handled wiTh wisdom and undersTanding of a woman devoTed To The inTeresT and welfare of The younger gen- eraTion. MR. CLAUDE MILLER Boys' Vice-Principal The Boys' Vice-Principal on The AHS campus is an odd combinafion of disciplinarian and co-ordi- naTor, buT all Too ofTen The laTTer is forgoTTen, and he is Thoughf of only in Terms of The boys' vice. Mr. Miller has proven himself, boTh on campus and in communiTy affairs, a worThy adminisfra- Tor and a fine represenTaTive of AHS's non-sTu- denT governmenf. Favoring punishrnenf neiTher capiTa'l-nor corporal, his sound and ably admin- isTered advice serves To puT many a wayward soul back on The sTraighT and narrow. Mr. Miller is highly deserving of sTudenT body respecT for his Tackling a Tough iob and perform- ing iT wiTh a consisTenTly paTienT, reasonable, and undersfancling approach-occasionally exTending himself a greaT deal above and beyond The call of duTy. Though somefimes we hesiTaTe To ad- miT iT, we appreciaTe his fair and ThoughTful guidance.
