STRIKE UP The Caruthers Union High School program is composed of four courses. They are agriculture, commercial, col- lege preparatory, and general. Thesf include everything necessary for a stu- dent in high school, as you can see on these pages. Our school has employed teachers capable of teaching each speci- fic subject. Being handicapped by its size, it cannot -expand into the minor subjectsg but puts forth every effort to make each major subject better. livery class with the exception of the individual music classes lasts one hour a day.

W E S O U N D A N O T E ln all our school activities, music has been a dominant factor as well as an integral part of every entertainment. The junior-senior banquet would not have been complete without an orchestra to play for the dancing. Every lull between acts of our junior and senior plays has been brightened by music from the band, orchestra, or choruses. Our colorful band has given the pep note to all our football games and rallies as well as the color of its music to the Caruthers District Fair. Thus as music has been the leaven as well as the binding factor in our school activities, the staff of La Puerta chose it as the theme for the 1941 book believing it would add its note of color, enlivening and binding the parts together. A song expresses our feelings-a light, carefree one when we are happyg a slow and melancholy one when we are sad. It is the wish of the staff that the song of the 1941 La Puerta shall be light and carefree, yet accurate and complete. It was with this in mind that our sketches took a light vein. The sedate orchestra seemed best to represent the classes, whereas the light lilt of a chorus seemed more appropriate for the activities. Of course, the band should represent our athletic section, and the added n0t6 of the drill team seems appropriate for our sponsors. It is the hope of the staff that through this theme we may pay tribute to the part music has played in our school life.
