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.

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.

T ERE in programs and progress Problems, problems, problems. But I want first lunch. Why can't l have a free sixth? What happened to my fifth period gym? But surely you can do something! All these and many other woes are all too often heard coming from the bustling Counselors' Office at Alhambra High School. Not only dur- ing the hectic program weeks at the semester's beginning, but continuing throughout the entire school year these entreaties plague the thoughts and perhaps the dreams of our counselors. Charged with the conduct of a class of ap- proximately five hundred students through their high school career, the counselors become at var- ious times scapegoats, wizards, and sometimes more often than not, iust sympathetic listeners. These persons serve as guides in deciding our programs, our professions, and sometime our personal problems. Each is one person to whom all the facts of our record are available and the one person to whom we can turn for considered, reliable advice. Tempered by years of similar experiences, the counselors are able to draw from this deep well to help the student. Every prob- lem, however, is different, for the student is a different combination, a different emotional be- ing. For this reason the counselor must be more than a worker of programs, but a combination psychiatrist-friend, able to combine his experience and ingenuity into a workable pattern for a particular student. Yes, the counselor must be a special person, able to do a special iob, a vitally necessary iob, for our school.
