Brett Warburton, Student Artist, BHHS, 1978

"We thought you would like to know about the high professional quality of the work exhibited by the participating students as well as about the untiring efforts and cooperation of the Beverly Hills High School art faculty under the direction of Mr. Lyle Suter. Rarely have we seen such devoted effort, all the more noteworthy because this came after a day of teaching."

Betty Kramer, Art Teacher, BHHHS, 1978

"Those teachers whose names we know are Mrs. Betty Kramer, Mr. Po Chun Lau, Miss Cherie Bromley, and of course Mr. Lyle Suter." They all worked together in a very cooperative manner making certain no student's work was left out or incorrectly labeled."

Lyle Suter, Chairman, BHHS Art. Dept.

"Among those present was the president of the Beverly Hills Art League. This organization sponsors an annual scholarship award. The exhibit provided fine exposure for the senior students of your high school.

Allow us to congratulate you and the art department for such an excellent showing."

"February 22, 1978

On Feb. 1st of this year, we had the pleasure of officiating as judges for an art exhibit which was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in conjunction with the Beverly Hills Hadassah Annual Youth Aliyah Luncheon."

Lyle Suter, "Visual Arts," 1978 Watchtower

"The art work had to be delivered, hung, and/or displayed and most of the teachers labored until late in the evening when all the pieces were finally labeled and judged."

Po Lau, Art Teacher, BHHHS, 1978

"The quality of your students' art work and the diversity of both media and style punctuate the excellence of your high school's art department and its faculty.

This community function did much to focus attention on student art and endeavors. More than 1,300 women were in attendance. We are informed that one of the students who won an award at the exhibit has been offered some professional art work from one of the attending artists."

Cherie Bromley, Art Teacher, BHHS, 1978
