Not only is Whittier desirable as a home town, but it is gaowiagrapidly, and we naturally want to be connected with a "going" insti-tution. That Wlittier is growing is proven not only by the censusrepods, which show that it has doubled r1population in the past threeyears, but by the recold of building permits. 1923 set the pace withbuilding permits to the amount of more han three millions of dollaN.

A LL sreal civjlizations of the past have been born between heA mounlains and the sea, where peaceful waters have carried^ ^ adveni,urous oyagers o thF port of their dpals. nd owering

peaks have beckored them to make their homes in the shelteredvalleys, and satisfy their longing search for fr-eedom in the ever-chanqinq nsDiration of the hills,

Nesiled n tt'e San Gabriel Vallev, famed alike for thal fertilitv

and romance which lured the wealth of Spanish explorers o a nevrI world; sheltered y the protecting shadows f the Great Sienas; bor-dering that eighth wonder of the world, Los Angeles, with its rcarof industry and trade; partaking of the advantages of both city andvalley, lies t}Ie ciw of Alhambra, the Beautiful.
