"George E. Bettinger, principal of the Alhambra High School, is one of the successful and popular figures in the public school service in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and his record of success is the more gratifying to note by reason of the fact that he is a native son of Los Angeles, where his birth
occurred July 1, 1893.
Mr. Bettinger is a son of Marcus Clark Bettinger and Laura Angie (Hollingsworth) Bettinger, who still maintain their home in Los Angeles and who
are individually represented in a review appearing on other pages of this publication, so that further data concerning them and the family history are not here demanded.
In Los Angeles the public school discipline of George E. Bettinger culminated in his completion of a course in the Polytechnic High School, in which he was
graduated as a member of the class of 1910. During the period of 1911-15 he continued his studies in the University of Southern California, and in the
latter year he received therefrom the degree of Bachelor of Arts. In June, 1928, he received from this institution the supplemental degree of Master of
Arts.
Mr. Bettinger has been continuously engaged in teaching in the high school at Alhambra since 1916, was made its vice principal in 1918, and since 1925 he has held the executive and scholastic office of principal. His service here has been marked by characteristic loyalty and efficiency, and in its constructive application has done much to maintain the high standard set for the work in all departments. He takes lively interest in the athletic affairs of his high school, and in this connection it may be noted that as a student in the University of Southern California he won his letter in his participation in
athletic track events and that from the university he holds a life pass for admission to all its athletic exhibitions.
The political allegiance of Mr. Bettinger is given to the Republican party, he and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church in their home community, he
is a director of the local Kiwanis Club, is affiliated with the Phi Kappa Psi and the Phi Delta Kappa college fraternities, and is a member of Lodge No.
