Witliolit it we could accomplish nothing. ln the business world all enter- prises which keep their heads above water have a certain order of doing things, a methodical conserving, recording of time and material. The small retail man as well as the owner of an iron foundry always runs his business according to some plan pre- viously laid out. They realize the importance of it. A carpenter when building a house does not start with the roofg neither do we expect that carpenter to work day and night. apparently accomplishing much, and then have to quit his job entirely before finishing. As it is in the business world, so we may bring it to ourselves in school life. lf we have no system, a mapping out of our own work, we do not get very far. Not often does a person change his course in school, after he is well started on it, only to begin at the bottom of another. His common sense and his knowledge of a voca- tion suited particularly to himself tells him better than that. Let us bring this down to Puente. Can we not next year work out a system for our Student Body activities? Experience is a dear school, and some few have paid this year. We elect a yell and song leader under the Student Body. Next year let's elect someone to have charge of each activity managed by the Student Body, one for the shows, one for advertising, one for the stage managing, and one for musicg then each one might have a committee working under him. The responsibility should not all lie in the hands of one, but each separate activity should have its own head, re- sponsible for his department, and should feel that responsibility. With that worked out perfectly it would rest easier on all concerned. Let's push for a systematic Student Body next year. M. E. S. 721. OUR JOURNALISM EFFORTS The work of our class in Journalism has passed from the embryo stage and has become a settled and proven success. When, at the commencement of the school year, the idea of having a regular news department in the local paper was introduced, there were some who doubted the ability and persistency of students to keep up the weekly grind and make the High School 'acornerii one to be widely read among the student body and people of the community. The English IV class undertook the job, and through their efforts we have a regular weekly space, which contains school news of interest. Under the direction of their teacher, Miss Loraine Novak, they have been taught the rudiments of journal- ism, and have organized themselves into a Journalism class. Imitation, we are told, is the most sincere flattery, and it has been with 3 Sense Page Ten of pride and satisfaction to know that the Puente idea has been copied by a number of Southern California schools. The issuance of an eight page student body paper on the occasion of the Valley League Track meet here, March 5th, was also a worth-while endeavor and was made much easier because of the prior training received in furnishing weekly material for the ucornerf' The practical value of the work to those engaged is a consideration not to be overlooked. It has also developed some creditable literary talent which might otherwise have remained dormant. Next year should see a continuation and enlargement of the work of this yearis plans and achievement, and in the near future a regular weekly school paper is a reasonable probability. The modern school idea is to fit the student for actual life work when school days are over and the knowledge of how to write for publication, together with the familiarity gained of advertising and publicity, will prove invaluable to the mem- bers of the class who have made good in keeping P. U. H. S. activities before the public during the 1920-21 school year. L. E. C. '2l. ORGANIZATIONS The Organizations of Puente Union High School have increased from year to year, just like the school itself has become better known, made its share of glory, and stood equal among the rest of the schools of the valley. A few of these organizations are the Girls, League, Boys' Hi Y, Boys, and Girls, Glee Clubs, and Student Body. Last year we had a Spanish Club, but this term through the lack of time we were unable to continue it. Now, are those clubs necessary to a student? Is a member only wasting his time by going to the meetings, when instead he should be solving his mathematics? Most assuredly, NO! A student cannot realize what great benefit and knowledge he derives when he takes the responsibility incurred by taking one of the positions which these organiza- tions offer. For instance, the office of President, Vice-President, Secretary or Treas- urer gives him a fair idea what will be expected of him when he goes out into the world and accepts one of these positions in a higher institution. These organizations not only offer valuable opportunities, but also help to bring the students into closer contact with each other. All the world is familiar with these few words, Gln union there is strengthf, Thus, to make our school successful we must work together and these organizations are the only means by which we may meet, and become better acquainted with our comrades. Organizations may also be termed the machinery of the school. An automobile without an engine would be unable to run. Therefore, the school without these clubs properly working and pulling together would be unable to succeed and have her colors waving equally as high as those of her neighboring friends. E. R. 522.

H' 41 v f f 1 xl :F AE I EDITORIAL Our class of 721 is neither large nor small, brilliant nor dull. Girls have always been in the majority, but no boy has ever objected to that. We have broken some customs and established others in our sojourn at Puente Hi. We were never re- nouned as athletes, tho We feel that we have not contributed poorly to the athletic field. We are not prodigies in a scholarly Way but we have kept up to a high stand- ard. One thing only do we pride ourselves in, and that is our interest in activities as a whole, and our contributions to the various organizations. Students and faculty of P. U. H. S. will not soon forget the work of the student body president of our class. We have been very fortunate in having our vice principal, Miss Irvin, to guide us thru our entire four years. We want to thank her for the helpful advice she has given us and for the Way she has entered into our class interests and social activities. The Class of '21,has always pulled together for the best interest of everyone concerned, and very seldom has it been divided over important questions or has it never been divided agaiggrst itself. This makes for better co-operation and for better spirit which has been much in evidence in the class of '21. P. U. H. S. is a good old place but we do not progress by standing still. Remem- ber there are other rungs on the ladder of life besides the one which we have lingered on for four full years. So we must say Good-bye. W. I. L. 521. Page Sixteen GRACE E.

Page Twenty-six SENIOR HISTORY In the early fall of I9I7, thirty-two innocent, frightened children roamed among the mighty, mystic walls of Puente Union High School. They were taken in charge by Miss Irvin, who proved a worthy mother. As all children do, after they became acquainted, they entered joyfully into the whirl and grind of the school life. Leota Frazier and Wilbur Larmer represented them in debating but lost as most freshmen do. The class was well represented in athletics by Reni Brulleau in boys basket ball, Josephine Chavez, Elvira Rowland, Cecelia Olivares and Clara Dethlefs in girls basket ball, Frank Welch in track and Markham Salsbury in baseball. Leota Frazier held the office of cartoon editor on the Imagaga staff. The class entertained the faculty at a Hallowe'en party and gave a picnic supper in the canyon. Their willingness to keep the letter on the hill white-washed has been a splendid example to all freshmen classes. The Sophomore year was started with only one-half of the original family, some dropping out to work, others seemed to enjoy the beginners and remained there. Although the uflun epidemic handicapped them they were able to have a big year. They entered into the Red Cross work with plenty of vim, and pep. They started the custom of Sophomore Hfiube Dayfl In athletics they were well represented by Mark- ham Salsbury, Frank Welch and Frank Hannah. Their class became very much smaller in the Junior year, but it made a larger splash in the pond than ever in its history. Three of its members practically edited the Imagaga, and the class won the prize page for selling the most copies. They had three out of five officers of the Student Body from their class. Besides work they held many social affairs. They enjoyed a picnic at Hollenbeck Park followed by a theatre party at the California. They did their part in making the Fiesta Day on Nov. IIth, a success. The Junior-Senior reception was in the form of a trip, and was a grand success. Then came the big year in every high school studentis life, the Senior year. Although they lost one of their live members, Marion Sewell, two new ones entered at the beginning of the term, Alvina Dreyer and Esther Colville, who have taken an active part in the class. They again had a majority in the executive committee of the Student Body, and did their share to keep P. U. H, S. moving. This year was visited by many social activities, the first being a watermelon feed at the home of Leota Frazier, later there were two enjoyable evenings at Alvina Dreyer's, a surprise party on Leotag and a St. Patrick's party given by Esther Colville and Frank Welch at the Rowland. During the term three more entered the class: Winnifred Wimmer, Neva Hannah, and John Eggers, but Winnifred left soon after for Kansas. The Student Body president this last year, Frank Welch, has been a credit to the school as well as the class, and deserves every bit of praise which can be given him for the admirable way in which he has managed Student Body affairs. This last year the Seniors did not spend as much time in athletics. Nevertheless, with four men entered, the Seniors took second in the inter-class track meet, and Alvina Dreyer and Leota Frazier played on the girls baseball team that was so nearly a championship team. Of course the class is sorry to leave P. U. H. S., for their career these four years has been an eventful and happy one, so here's to the success of the classes in the future.

Their loyalty to both their class and school and their enthusiasm in everything has greatly increased. Whether this is clue to our much respected class advisor Mr. Mclntosh or not we cannot say but we certainly know he has helped us in all we have attempted and did his best to arouse more class spirit in every one of us. The president of our class, Dorothy Jackley, certainly deserves special mention. L'You couldn't have chosen a more efficient or better all around person for President than Dorothyf' said Mr. Mc- Intosh at the close of our election and we all heartily agree with him. She is known never to start anything unless she finishes it and thus helps all of us to live up to our motto, We climb though the rocks be ruggedf' Page Thirty-one Our class has been very successful in athletics this year. We are especially proud of our Girls lnterclass Basket Ball team which has kept the 6'Garnet and Whitev flying by winning the Silver Loving Cup for us again this year. We were represented in the Girls interscholastic Baseball Team by Portia Parriot, captain, Dorothy Jack- ley, managerg Carol Boyer, Cecelia Olivares, Elvira Rowland, Millie Watts, Wordna Pyle, and Ada Burgess. All of the above girls were rewarded with letters. Charles Faure received a letter for Track and he and Cecil Knowlton are on this year's Boys, baseball team. Also Millie Watts was chosen from our class to be Vice-President of the Student Body, which we consider quite an honor. We are represented on the Annual Staff by Dorothy Jackley, Cecelia Olivares, Elvira Rowland, Portia Parriot. The Junior class has ability in music as well as in athletics. At least three- fourths of the class are in either the Boys' or Girls' Glee Club. Blythe Taylor was the leading lady in the operetta, and Millie Watts and Edwin Zeiler were principals. uAll work and no play, makes Jack a dull boyf, The Juniors are by no means a long-faced crowd, but as full of fun as any class. The two social events which stand out the most vividly in our minds are the Hallowe'en Party at the home of Millie Watts and a hike to Mt. Wilson. No one ever enjoyed a Hallowe'en party as much as we did that night. Almost all the class were present. We played some very unique games, among which were c'l7ortune Tellingw and a Wllrack Meetf' Prizes were awarded to the winners of the different events. After the games some very delicious refreshments were served. On Friday, November 26, a Junior bunch of twelve, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jackley and Mr. Mclntosh started at eight oiclock for Mt. Wilson. They be- gan their climb about one hour later, reaching the top at four p. m. Here they ate supper, which they had taken up on a donkey, and then went to bed in the cabins. They next morning they strolled around taking pictures until noon. After lunch they visited the observatory and the museum returning about seven oiclock Saturday evening, very tired and hungry, but well satisfied with their trip. However, we do work once in a while at least, and that is how we won the Prize Page in the lmagaga this year, on which you will see each one of our portraits.

We selected as our class colors the beautiful combination of purple and gold. We can say with- out boasting that our pennant is the best looking in school. In 1920 our class was represented in the interelass debates by Joe Howland and Della Reynolds. They won the debate with the Sophomores, the class of 722, easilyg but lost it to the Seniors, the class of 720 who were veteran debaters. In athletics the class of 123 has been very well represented. ln the 1921 term we had four men out of live in the basket ball team. We won the interclass basket- ball series from the Juniors with a score of 21 to 19. ln track two Sophomores, Stanley Maxson and Charles Blackburn, received the only medals won this year. Stanley took second in the pole vault and Charles fourth in the high hurdles. Kermit Graham, a 723 man, won the interclass tennis singles, so we hold the highest honors in tennis. Sophomore Rube Day, which is an Annual affair, was a decided success. The boys appeared in rags and tatters, while the girls were dressed in very abbreviated dresses, which were a perfect fit when they were ten years old. We put on a stunt at Assembly, Inauguration of President Harding. There was a Valentine party with the class of 1924 in February. So our social life has not been neglected. As a class then, 1923 has taken its part in interclass debates, and in athletics. We have become better acquainted with each other during our two years in P. U. H. S. and we are going to accomplish more in the future than we have in the past. Page Thirty-four SOPHOMORES The Soph'mores are the cleverest class in school, Our teachers we've been often known to fool, When basketball gave us the score by one, The Juniors surely made us light for our fun. We easily walked away with the track cup, And this then brought our athletic hopes up, The buttons on our chests began to wane From the very extraordinary strain. But when the Valley League meet came along, We were right there and all were going strong, We put our chests in their proper places And did our best to win all the races. Our men are Braves, but yet they are too young. The latter has been said, the former sung. So we did not quite take the foremost seat, In that annual glorious League meet. But all our men will soon be much stronger So please, Puente, wait a little longer. In battles of coming years our Braves will win Although in some times past, conquered they've been. N. D. '23.

We have tried our best to keep the letter HP in good condition and hope that in coming years the Freshmen of Puente will enlarge this letter which stands for so many good things. Our class consists of twenty-eight students. We as Freshmen want to establish a record for our class in basket ball, baseball and track. So far, Agnes Didier and Alice Maxson have won letters in Girlis Baseball and Sylvain Lassalette in Track, also John Shepek, Keith Chaffee and Ferdinand Cota in baseball. Socially our class has been successful. The Sophomore and Freshmen classes celebrated their Valentine Party at the High School and on April 9, we had a picnic at Ganesha Park, We owe our success to Miss Wlolcott and wish to thank her.

GRAY'S EXPERIENCE AT SCHOOL 'cI'm a widder woman and my brother, Hiram Jones lives with me. I allers try to treat him with respect, fur he owns the cow pasture and Dobbm, the old gray horse- Rowland where I live is an old fashioned place, and us folks donit travel any further than Puente. Susan Jane, my darter, has bin goin' to Puente .UHIOH Illgh Sch00l, and she keeps argini to me to visit her school. Sometimes I think I will jest to see all ,em teachers and scholars with sech high soundin' names, that she keeps d1ng1n in my ears. '6Every time she comes home, she keeps persuadin' me to comb my hair up ln three notts, when goodness knows I ain't got enough for one, .and,to make all Hfteen gored skirts into hobble ones, and quit sayin, IHeaven and Alrth, when I git agger- vated. But I sez right then, LSusan Jane McGray, jest 'cause Miss Brown, Miss Bick- ford, and all the rest of ,em High School teachers dress in the style, it ain't no reason fur me to. If they had to slop hogs, hunt all over creation fur turkey eggs, climb barbed wire fences and scrub ceilin's, they'd not wear skirts that measured a yard and a half around the bottom., Susan Jane has made a sight of friends since she has bin goin' to school, she makes ,em think that our farm is a paradise on earth. One day I got to thinkin', and determined to git me a new dress and make it up-to-date, jest to please Susan Jane. I bought a black sateen and sorne fringle and beads to trim it in, 'cause Susan Jane sed beads wuz terrible fashionable. 'cWhen Friday come I resolved to hitch up old Dobbin and go to Puente town after Susan Jane, and maybe visit school. Hiram most allers goes, but bein, as I had a new dress I thought I'd go and surprise Susan Jane. I heard her say that Miss Irvin sed maybe she'd show 'em how to disinfect a cat. So as I had thirteen cats, I decided to take one in, ,cause I wanted to get rid of one of Jem, but didn't want to kill it myself, fur its seven years of bad luck. Miss Bickford has allers bin terrible good to Susan Jane so I fixed up a can of honey fur her. I like her 'cause when Susan Jane writ some Spanish words Miss Bickford told her that she had never seen anything better. She must think my Susan Jane is some- thing, donit she? 'CI arrived in Puente town and first drove down to Fables, store to get a spool of thread and a table oil cloth. I started back up Main street, and I seen a mighty lot of scholars goin' home to dinner. I looked purty close to see if any of 'em were ridin' ponies, fur Susan Jane sed lots of 'em had ponies. I ketched a glimpse of Susan Jane and some towhead boy a comin' down Main street and I whipped Dobbin and met iem. LI,ook a heref sez I, Lyouid better let that young man go, and come in here with your Ma. Who might he be anyhow?' Susan Jane climbed in and sez, rale surprised like, 'Why Mama I wasn't looking fur you. Why didnit you let me know you were comin7?, She kept talkin' ,bout everything else icept the young feller, and just as I asked her agin she sez, 4Oh Ma, do stop talkin, so loudly. Look a comin' down the street.' I looked and seen a lady comin' and Susan Jane sez, Ullhatis Miss Irvin our vice principalf als that the one?, sez I, pokin' my head out of the buggy to git a square look at her, fthat made you cut ftshin' worms and pull bugs open to see if they had any external insides?' For that's actually what she sed she did, and I wouldn't let her make biscuits till she soaked her hands an hour in strong lye soap suds. I had a good notion to give her that cat right then, but I was afeard Susan Page F orly ,Iane would object. I had it tied up in a flour sack and it had bin clawin, ,round all the way to town. We Went down past the school house and Mr. Blee, the principal, come out and invited me to visit school that afternoon. I was extremely glad of the chance and I sed, cMuch obliged., Susan ,lane kept tellin, me what to say to all ,em teachers if they sed anything to me. She told me if there wuz a break in the conversation to ask Miss Irvin the average attendance and to ask Mr. McIntosh if he enjoyed basket- ball. Wal, when we got to school, Miss Irvin come up, and introduced herself to me. I guess I got things kinder mixed, the way Susan ,Iane tramped on my corn, when I sez to her, 'Do you enjoy basket-meetin, and do you attend the average ones?, uMiss Bickford escorted me up stairs and took me in a room fullest of scholars I ever seen. After I looked around awhile and seen all the notes and whisperin, flyin, I sez to her, 6I reckon you have to stand them on the floor and keep ,em in a great deal., 'Oh, no,, sez she, gwe jest cut their deportment., Wall, I didn,t say any- thing to her, but in my mind I didn,t prove it, fur I once knowed a teacher who pulled the scholars, hair and ears and I didn,t like that, and I think cuttin, would hurt a lot wuss. I s,posed they used knives, ,cause I seen several Iyin, on the teacher,s desk. uMiss Novak took me to the English class and I still had that cat, fur I didn,t have no chance to give it away. A chunky boy began to read and I got kinder sleepy, but woke up all of a sudden when he sed, 'Drown black care in the deep waters of oblivion, let the deep waters, cover her black head., ,No you won,t drown the black cat,, sez I risin, to my feet, 6I,m not goin,t to have man slaughter that ,ar way. I,m goin, to have it intersected., And right then that fool cat clawed its way out of that sack and shot out the door like a bolt of lightin. NI liked everything moderately well till I got to the Latin room and then I got sorter riled. Miss Novak put three words on the board that looked like this, Ihic, haec, hoc., Then she told Susan Jane to refine ,em. Susan Jane sez, 4hec,, and I felt like slappin, her, fur I didn,t want her to talk disrespectful to her teachers. She sed a few more outlandish things and I wuz gittin, madder and madder, and then she sez, 'I can,t think of the next one., Miss Novak looked at me real cross and sez, 'hike' thaec-I and you bet I did. I llounced as much as my new skirt would let me, and left about three yards of string and beads hangin, on the door whar it ketched when I hiked. I bumped up against a young woman in a white apron who wuz comin, down the hall, and I sez, 'Who be sick in this har place?,, fur I supposed she wuz a nuss. I afterward found out that she wuz Miss Brown, the Domestic Science teacher, but what makes her wear a white apron fur I don,t know. HI set down on a seat out in the hall and waited fur Susan Jane to come fur I ,lowed Miss Novak,d 'hike, her fur talkin, impredent. She didn,t come and I got awful tired waitin,, so I walked down the hall and went in a room with tables all ,round it and cheers ,round the tables. Wal, there wuz a big tank over on one side of the room and it wuz full of water. I wuz jest goin, to take a drink when I noticed some crawfishes and frogs swimmin, ,round in the bottom. I glanced up and seen a rale skeleton in one corner. There wuz a big jar full of snakes and all kinds of little critters. Up overhead wuz a wire fixin, that I took to be a trapeze like they have in the circuses. I tell you I wuz astonished ,cause I never ,spected that they had animal shows in High School buildings. I got outer there, fur I wuz afeard the keeper might come in and make me pay fur lookin, in at every skeleton and I didn,t think it worth payin, fur. I went to my seat and jest then a bell rung and rung, and ,fore long it rung agin and then the hall wuz jest full of folks, talkin, and laughin,. Purty soon Page Forty-one that bell rung agin and I wondered if it wuzn't the fire-bell so I hollered, 'Fire, Fire,, and started down the stairs and stumped my toe and rolled the balance of the way. I stuck my hand out and ketched a holt of a big jar, jest like the one I had made sauerkraut in, that wuz standin, full of umbrellas. It turned over, spilling water all over my face and all ,em umbrellas jabbed in my ribs like thorns. 4I'Ielp, help,' screamed Susan Jane, comin' runnin' down to help me. Mr. Winters picked up the jar and begin to pick out the umbrellas. I heard the janitor, lVIr. Wilson, say that he,d go after the campfire and I sez, 4You can save yourself the trouble fur Ilm only shook up a little., Right then I had had enough of Puente Union High School. It may be alright fur some folks but I would drutlier stay at Rowland. I wuz a sight to behold with my sateen dress full of holes Whar all ,em umbrellas jabbed in. Most of the strings and beads wuz hangin' on Miss Novak,s door. And that can, that I had the honey in, had busted and all the sticky stuff had spilt out in my pocket and wuz runnin' down my skirt. Some trollop of a boy yelled, 4lVIcCray honey,' makin' lite of me. I made Susan Jane get her things and start home with me, Without even givin, her time to say 'Jack Robinson' to that towlieaded beau of hers, that I seen peepin, over the stairs. Wlwhe next day I writ a letter to lVlr. Blee and told him Susan ,Iane couldn,t go back to school unless he'd expell that towheaded feller, fur I wuz skeered lest Susan jane elope with him. And l writ in a postcript that if he seen anything of that black cat, held better have it biseeted right away and I haint got no answer yitf, -N. IVI. I22. Page Forty-two HJUST A SPACE FILLERN Trial suspended until January 16th at 10:45 a. mf, were the solemn words that struck the ears of Joseph Esmond. Now for the benefit of you who have just come in, l will tell you again why Joe was uupfi Someone had hit old man Calajo in the head, and as Joe and the old man Calajo had not been on friendly terms for some time, he was immediately suspected and later was arrested. For various reasons, l could not prove that he had not hit Calajo. His lawyer was working over time, trying every conceivable trick to get him out of his acute position. Finally they took another lawyer into consultation. The new lawyer was greatly interested in the case and after Joseph and his lawyer had explained all the details of the situation to him, he still sat silent, turn- ing over the facts of this peculiar circumstance. HlVlurder,7, said the new-comer to break the silence, cold blood, first degree, innocent, but cannot prove it. Ah! thereis the rub! You said you were making home brew?', 4'As near as l can remember, yes,7' was Esmond's only reply. uwell, the best thing you can do, sir, is to plead guilty to the home brew charge. But l'll think over the case before January l6th. Joe was not very refreshed over the idea of paying S5500 or a 391000 fine, and he was less enthused over the prospects of 'cstretchingw on account of old man Calajo. His boss had given him a number of uexchangesf' and as he perused them while sitting by his lireside that night, Joe found his name standing out in the middle of a column of locals. It was a short paragraph to the effect that MJoseph Esmond was a visitor in Selma last Tuesdayf, Henry Esmond-last Tuesday-paper dated August Sth,-published on Friday. It took him only a moment to see its possibilities. The day of the trial finally arrived, and with the aid of this alibi, the lawyers were able to clear him. Everyone is possessed with a bump of curiosity, and it was this that led Joe and his two lawyers to visit Selma a few days later, to interview the editor of the Selma Times.'7 On arrival, they had little trouble in finding the office of the small weekly, and still less difficulty in locating the editor of said publication. After very little formality of introduction, Joe proceeded to show the editor his life-saving bit of journalism. Joe and his lawyers then narrated to him how this clipping had re- leased Joe from the clutches of the law. The editor was both amused and interested at this strange coincidence, and, after pledging them to secrecy, he made the following humorous confession. ln weeks when news was scarce, he said, he often resorted to the expediency of drawing on his imagination for news items. The Joseph Esmond that appeared in the paper as a visitor at Selma had no existence in fact, but was a mythical creation of the editor's imagination. Just a space filler. F. lVl. W. 721. Page Forty-three THE END OF A PEHFECTUJ DAY uSay misterl Wanna buy a good dog?,' piped a small VOICC Undef .llm John- ston's ear. u So startled was he, that, being called nmisterll and being interrupted from his dreams about the young lady who lived up the road, he fell from the stone wall, upon which he was sitting, and measured his awkward length upon the ground. As he arose from his ignoble position he glanced around him before he spoke to the little urchin in front of him. Seeing no one had witnessed his catastrophe, he, in a stern voice tto hide his discomfiturel, told the boy to 'ego home and Hill l11S mother she wanted himfl The boy had other plans, however, and said, Ulf yould wash him and dry him and put a ribbon around his neck Mamieid like himf' Jim started to reach for the lad to punish him for mentioning the girl of his dreams, when the aforementioned thought penetrated his thick skull. Whatlll you take for him?'l he asked sourly. NA-a-a d-d-dol-lar an, a halff' quickly answered the boy scenting a sale. Jim took out his money. He had exactly four dollars, one quarter, three dimes, one nickel, and two pennies. all that was left of his summer's earnings with two months and some odd days till the next. 6'Cive you one, slowly. L'You're on,'l with alacrity. With the dog safely in his room, he immediately began to hunt for implements with which to wash the pup. Imagine, if you can, the surprise of the wash-woman when she found a har of soap gone from beneath her nose, her mystihcation when another disappeared immediately after, and her fear for her pocketbook when several of Mrs. johnstonls best towels disappeared. The bath tub was filled with cold water. The two then threw the dog into the tub. He came out, however, much quicker than he went in, yelping with all his might, and showering the boys with ice cold water. Maybe the water was too cold, suggested Ted. l'You tell lem razor, youlre keen enoughf' answered Jim. They let part of the water out, not without an accident, for as ,lim leaned over the end of the tub to pull out the stopper, he slipped on the wet floor and fell head tirst into the water. After Ted fished Jim out, they put some hot water into the tub. The pup ob- jected again and ran to hide in the closet which held the suit to be worn that night to a dinner. Ohl Naturally the dog shook there and spoiled it till it was pressed again. Locking the dog in Jimls room, the two boys Went down town to buy the ribbon for the dogls neck. They were very enthusiastic until they got to the store. There in front of the counter they began to imagine everyone was laughing at them for buying a ribbon. So when the girl at the ribbon counter asked them what they wanted they could only look at each other. Finally Jim blurted out something that sounded to the girl like, 4'Wanna buy a rubber dollf' 'Tirst aisle right,'l said the floorwalker who had come up behind them. Then, after some trouble, he understood what they wanted, and they went out with ucold brows. The dog resented their trying to improve his looks by chewing the ribbon 35 Page Forty-four they tried to put it on him. So that when they had succeeded in getting it about his neck it looked like a dirty rag. As they started out the door with the dog, Ted pleaded an errand which needed his immediate attention. Instead of an errand ufor his motherw as Jim thot it was, it was to round up the gang, including the girlsfi When Jim turned the corner of Mamieis home he nearly had heart failure for there on the porch were all his uintimatesf' But to make the best of it las he was seenJ he walked up to the porch. I-I-I g-got a-a-a present f-f-for y-y-you, he blurted as Mamie looked up. Then the crowd howled, while Mamie, suspecting nothing, said, '4How nicelj' G'wan tell her what it is,77 hollered Ted. Then for the first time it dawned on Jim that Ted was a traitor. 'cIt7s a dog, muttered Jim, with a black look for Ted. uOhl for mefi she said. She had not seen the dog yet, but thot it was the g'Pom Jim said he would buy her--someday. When she saw the dog she turned pink, then red, then white. A shrill M0-o-o-o-o-o-o, and she ran into the house. Amid the laughter of the crowd he retreated with hanging head, muttering threats against Ted. As he was passing a house with the largest windows in the town, the dog got away. Jim wishing to speed him on his way, '4shied a stone at him which, of course, lifted by some diabolic force, went through the largest window. Then min- utes later, after running twenty blocks to make the two to his, he found the owner of the window and his father in conference. His father saw him as he tried to slip by, and made Jim give up all that was left of his money. Then he sent him straight to his room. As Jim was too old to lickw he was given a good lecture and kept in his room. After about two hours of plotting against Ted, he was called downstairs and there found somebody wished to talk to him on the phone. '4Oh Jimlw said the voice, and Jim's heart melted, for it was lVIamie, g'won't you come over tonight? I'm awfully sorry about this afternoon for, really I wasnit angry at all, I was just laughing at you. Much to his surprise his father let him go to lVIamie's house, remembering, probably, his own boyhood. At Marnieis he found Ted and the two were just as friendly as if Jim had never been plotting against Ted and as if Ted had never played a trick on Jim. -E. Z.'22. Page Forty-fire PUENTE7S SPACE IN HISTORY Probably there is no topic in history more interesting to the people of this vicin- ity than that of La Puente Valley. By all that is left for us to go by, Puente was inhabited by the Indians a hundred years before the discovery of California by Don Rodriguez Cabrillo, in 15412. During the excavation for the foundation of Puente Union High School, a dozen or more mortars and pestles with which the Indians used to grind corn, and several other Indian trinkets were found. This further indicates the fact that our campus was once an Indian village. According to early historians, they called the town MAwig-nafl When the mission fathers came they translated it and accordingly called it Ita Puente, meaning nthe bridge, deck, or high place of the valley. Under the Spanish rule, Governor Casper de Portola, with a company which in- cluded two lfranciscan priests, arrived at the present site of the city of Los Angeles, August 2, 1769. Two years later, lfather Juniperro Sierra, under Spanish rule, estab- lished the mission, San Gabriel Archangel, on the San Gabriel river, near the Indian village of Sibag-na. But in 1775, twhile the east coast was in the Revolutionary tur- moilt. the priests moved the mission up to the present site, which was a higher and dryer place. Here the Indian and lVlexican converts came from far and wide. As soon as the population was increased, men saw the farming possibilities here, so in 1820, a wealthy Spaniard was granted a tract of land of some 50,000 acres comprising the liancho l,a Puente. Although he owned all of one of the richest valleys in thc country, this man did not cultivate it. He later went back to Spain giving up his rights. ' We can lind out little about events in the valley until 184115, only four years before the great Mgold rushfl Then William Workman and john Howland purchased the great liancho l,a Puente from the lVlexican government, July 22. Alter some years of partnership, Mr. VVorkman and Mr. Howland divided their ranch, Mr. Workman taking the western half and lVlr. Rowland the eastern portion. Fine homes of the Spanish architecture were built, to accommodate the families, and barns and out buildings were many. The 'fRancho'7 was noted for cattle and horses, but in 1863, there was a great drouth and some 2000 cattle died. lfrom then on more attention was paid to general farming. The first flour mill in this portion of the country was built on the creek in 1865 for the grinding of the Vllorkman corn. After a financial failure by lVIr. Workman in 1876, the great Rancho fell into the hand of ulauckyn Baldwin. In the early '80's the town took a boom due to the Southern Pacihc railroad, which was constructed thru as far as Spadrag and the present buildings in the Bidart block, and Rowland hotel and Heinze structures were erected. The hrst regular mail was also established. From that time down to the present day it has been a rapid passing of the saloon and the cowman, to give room for the small ranches and rapid development. I -F. M. W. rzi. Page Forty-six A USUAL OCCURRENCE '4CurtainlM And Mac raised the curtain. This, from the director of the play to the stage manager, Mac Sterling, was given in not an altogether pleasant voice. Trouble had begun earlier in the evening as soon as the director had arrived and the scenery was not to his liking. 4'What do you think we're putting on, a bar-room comedy? We can't use that stuff. Got to have a dining room scene in a swell house, was what greeted Mac. HHere,s what you said in your letter, Pendleton, 6Three act comedy, HWhy Jones Left His Wlifegw interior scene first act, office second, third same as firstf Now how on earth do you expect a fellow that hasnlt seen the skit to know what kind of scenery you want? I thought if Jones left home, he probably was in the habit of drinking. Now you get mad because I don't know what you should have told me. The carelessnes of the director was evident from the letter, and he did not argue the point, but different scenery they must have, and this he made known. fflerk this stuff off, and bring out that green papered interior, snapped Mac to his assistants. We haven't got long before the show is supposed to start. To Pendleton, uNext time please say what you want. The bar-room drop was pulled up and the furniture taken off. The director was bustling excitedly up and down the stage, getting his cast in order. Vlfhen the new scenery was nearly up he said: NI want that door put on the left and an extra window at the back. Haven7t you got a round table instead of that square one? That's no dining room table anywayf' The stage hands stood still to await developments. They knew lVIac better than the director did. - uWhy don't you say what you want in the hrst place?77 Mac was mad now. '4We're here to fix up this stage, and if you don't know what you want welll put on what's handiest. We'll change the door but we haven7t any more windows in this set. If you had said what you wanted sooner we could have used another bunch, but this is the best interior weive got. For the love of Mike, say all you want to, now, because we've only got five minutesfl The director was through explaining about the scenery. The changes were made and everything was ready. He then began with the lights. 'tAt curtain everything is on full white. When 'Lucilei enters in the second scene, I wan't border off and footlights green. When she goes, back to white again. In the second act, there is a night scene with all lights off, and as it dawns use the rheostats with color effects. When 'Gladysi sings in the third, signal to the booth for the spot light. At the end when evening comes, use dimmers till completely off. Did you get it all or shall I go over it againfw Mac listened patiently till he was through. Then: Ye godsl How much do you think I can pack in my brain at one try? Write it down in full and hang around yourself to promote once in awhile. I wish we could have had a dress rehearsal and got some of this straightfl Then the curtain went up and Hjones started to leave 'his wife.'7 Mac was kept busy, but still he had time to think a little and also to cool down a little. He had a temper, and sometimes it got the better of him. The comedy went off nicely and afterward Mac called to Pendleton and said: 'GI want to apologize for the way I talked before the stunt. I was mad, but not only at you. They've pulled those same tricks off on me so often I'm getting Page Forty-seven tired of itfthis not knowing what a person wants. live even had fellows say they were going to put on a one-act comedy, and let it go at that, never a word more until they arrive on the scene at the time of the show. It's awfully trying, and it doesn't brighten up my spirits any to have the director get mad at us for not know- ing what he hasnit told us. The show went off all right anyway, only please treat the next manager a little differently, and I think youlll get along better. -IVI. E. S. '21, MDIRTY In the big logging camp of the Marshall Lumber Company, it was customary for the lumber-jacks to go by number, and not by name. In fact, it was not altogether polite to ask a man his name or where he came from. No. 30 was a typical knight of the road, unshaven and unkept. So that his num- ber and general appearance naturally suggested his nickname, '4Dirty.,' Still, there was something about him suggestive of gentilityg and of a past history, when he might have owned another and more honorable name. It was this something about him that distinguished him from his uncouth associates, and branded him as different. Nor did this add to his popularity. He was not of them, and while they tolerated, they shunned him. He, too, felt the lack of fellowship and grew taciturn and morose. '4Dirty', became the jinx and Jonah of the camp. The season was well along toward its close, when rumors such as come out of nowhere in the Northern woods, carried the terrifying news that the I. W. W.7s were practicing destructive sabotage in the surrounding camps. Nolan, the foreman of the Company, sat in the rude bunk office of the camp one evening, thinking over the various reports, when ulfwig Joef, the Swede, entered. He took a chair by the stove and waited for Nolan to speak. It was some time before Nolan flicked the ashes from the cigar he was smoking, and spoke. uGood evening, Joefl Nlfvenina, boss,', was the response. HWhat do you wantfw Nolan inquired. NNothing in particular. I yust bane thought IRI come in leetle whilef' '4Humph,', was Nolan's only assent. 'cYa, I bane want lo know if you hear the Hendrickis camp threatened mil Iire by I. W. W. gang yetfw questioned ttBig Joef, uYes, I did hear about thatf' answered Nolan, wand others, other campsf' Think- ing he might influence the men through Joe, Nolan added a little information to his speech. '6This country is facing a problem. I think we have suspicious men right here in our own camp. For instance, do you know anything about uDirty?77 Nolan asked. '6Nah-don,t know,'7 Big Joe explained. 4 g'Well, I think 'Dirtya secretly belongs to the organization and is silently plotting mischieff, Big Joe grunted approval and left. And from that hour L'Dirty7' was a marked man. It happened the last day of the run. The men had come home weary and cold, and had early sought their bunks. First, a faint odor of smoke, then the crackling of Hames, followed by the hoarse call from Nolan that the mill had been fired. The Pngr' Forty-eight men, unorganized and undisciplined, ran uselessly to and fro, while the fire demon, gaining headway, threatened the entire camp. Then out of the tumult, came a sharp, clear voice, coolly ordering the men here and there in a well defined plan for extinguishing the Hames. No one appeared to realize just who was directing the light, nor was there any disposition to refuse obed- ience. The men instinctively did as they were told, and slowly but surely, the spread- ing flames were subdued, and finally extinguished. Then, when the men had a breath- ing spell, and a chance to get their bearings, they realized that the hero of the hour was Dirty.7' A rousing cheer for him echoed in the vast forest. The next morning found every one tired and loathe to leave their bunks. Nolan, realizing the strenuous night they had experienced, did not resent it. It was not long, however, until a group had collected at the office to receive their orders for the day. Nolan came out and stood still a moment. He looked about the crowd and cleared his throat. ulVIen, he said, 'Tye found out something-and lim going to pass it on to you. This morning, while making an examination about the place where the fire started, I found a little black note-book. It was evidently dropped by the incendiary. I glanced through it and I found this little card which l have here in my hand. It belongs to the species distributed by the I. W. W. organization, and it is made out to one whom we thought lost while making a brave attempt to stop the Fire, Joe Swanson. I need not add that we are indebted to 4Dirty7 for the preservation of our camp. That is all I have to say, men. Now get to work. The men reluctantly did as they were told. Who was a'Dirty? You'll have to guess. He wouldn't tell. But the boys decided that after all he must have been somebody and have come from somewhere. -I.. E. C.

Secretary Page Fifty-two STUDENT BODY The Student Body of Puente Union High School has completed the most success- ful year in the history of the school, due to the earnest co-operation of the students, faculty, and the officers of the Student Body. Our Financial condition has also been better than any preceding year. Our Student Body is composed of all of the students in the school. The officers which are President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Athletic Manager, are elected at the close of each term for the ensuing year. The executive committee is composed of these officers and a faculty advisor. It is their duty to take care of all minor affairs of the Student Body and discuss the business which is to be presented to the students, before each meeting. The meetings are held on the first Monday of every month. After the business has been taken care of, the remainder of the time is spent in practicing school songs and yells. During the year it has been found necessary to change our constitution to meet the needs of a growing Student Body. The question of school letters, pins and sweaters were the foremost matters taken up. ln the Student Body we have two organizations, the Girls, League and the Boys' Hi Y Club. The Girls, League was organized in l9l5, and has been a live organiza- tion ever since. The Hi Y Club is an innovation of this year and fills a long felt want. Outside of our social activities the principal effort of the year has been the raising of a fund for the Near East Belief. The net results of the drive amounted to 311410 which has been turned over to the Armenian Belief Fund. The finances of our Student Body have been well taken care of this year owing to the kindness of our Board of Trustees. Last year the High School installed a motion picture machine. Toward the close of the year the Student Body took over the holding of a weekly motion picture show, the proceeds to be used in financing Student Body activities. At first we had many and various questions to solve. Our patrons however, proved their loyalty to our institution, so at present we have one of the best equipped auditoriums in the country. Two machines equipped with Argus Mazda lamps, the latest in projection and equipment, and last but not least, a crystal- bead screen. Our Student Body is in a flourishing condition as regards finances, having a handsome balance on hand for the opening of next year's program. We feel that true spirit of co-operation and school loyalty was shown by the students this year, that every member saw that it was his or her duty to stand by our P. U. H. S. We are proud of this yearis success, yet our true ideal has not been realized. And it may be realized only through constant improvements in years to come. -M. W. '22.

Alice Maxson The purpose of the Girls' League is to create loyalty to the school, loyalty among the girls, and loyalty to woman-kind in general. Although the Girls' League has been established in P. U. H. S. for several years, it was never until this year that we have had a constitution and a real organization instead of a mere wget together. The two main committees of the League, elected each semester, are the social and benevolent committees. The social looks after the good times, while the benevolent administrates charitable help to others as well as ourselves. During this year, both of the Committees have had sales at most of the games. Besides having sales, the benevolent committee has helped the poor in our com- munity, by contributing to the local Mexican relief. They also had a jelly drive for the David and Margaret Home at La Verne, at Thanksgiving time. They also had a book drive, for the same home, Christmas. On December 10th, the first social function of this year was held, this being the day for the annual Girls' League 'chigh jinksw and banquet. At the uhigh jinks, each class put on a stunt, with songs and readings. At the banquet, each class was represented by some member of the class giving a toast. Later in the year, a reception was given by the girls for their mothers. lt con- sisted of a musical program, after which refreshments were served. The last and largest undertaking that the girls have attempted was the Armenian Drive Contest. In February, Miss Mabel Farrington, a returned worker from Armenia, talked to the Student Body, of the work in the Near East. Immediately after this talk, a contest was started between the Hi Y Club and the Girls' League to see which side could raise the most money, by the end of March, for the people on the other side of the world. At the end of the contest, it was found that the Hi Y had raised two hundred and ten dollars, while the Girls' League raised two hundred. In April, to complete the contest, a picnic was given by the girls, for the boys. The girls of Puente Hi have had a very enjoyable year together, and we hope that the girls have become better friends through the influence of the Girls' League. Page Fifty-yire 1 1 4, I i 4 4 5 - BOYS, GLEE CLUB The Boys, Glee Club this year was under the supervision of Miss Mary Bell. The first quarter was given over to the singing of Glee Club songs. The second quarter was devoted to the learning of the choruses of the operetta, 4'Aladdin and Out, and also to the picking of the leading characters for tbe same. The third quarter brought the production of the operetta. For some time before the date of the play the students gave several hours daily of their time to make it a success. The fourth quarter was a continuation of the first quarteris work. During the first week of April, members of the Boys' Glee Club and their friends, accompanied by Miss Bell, saw the musical production uMary, staged at the Mason Gpera House in Los Angeles. ln the early part of the year officers of the Glee Club were elected, who are as follows: Markham Salsbury, President, and Wilbur Larmer, Secretary-Treasurer. The boys of the Glee Club of this successful year are: Bass-Frank Hannah, Frank Welch, Maurice Hagerman, Harold Peters. Baritone-Markham Salsbury, Charles Blackburn, Wallace Thompson, Edwin Zeiler. Tenor-Ralph Deaver, Wilbur Larmer, Norman McCoy, Nele Davis. GIRLS, GLEE CLUB One of the largest organizations of Puente High is the Girls, Glee Club, whicli has been for the past year under the direction of Miss Mary Bell. One of the features of the Girls' Glee Club has been the furnishing of material for the Friday evening picture show stunts. The popularity of the stunts has been proven by the apprecia- tiveness of the large audiences. A few of the stunts furnished by the Club have been mln May Time,'7 641776 and l92l,'7 uAn Indian Sketch, 'LGypsy Songs and Dancesw and 'Gln Spainf, Besides these stunts, different girls have furnished entertainment for the picture shows. The largest feature of the Glee Club was, however, the operetta f'Aladdin and Outf' which was given by both the Boys' and Girls, Glee Clubs, in March. Several of the girls had leading parts, while every one in the Glee Club was in the chorus. In the Glee Club this year, some of the best songs written have been studied while sometimes a little Hjazzi' has livened up the periods. We feel that the Girls, Glee Club is one of the liveliest organizations in P. L. H. S. and is establishing a precedence for future years of musical activity.

Though hantlicappecl through lack of numbers anfl sullicient practice, they have contrihutecl largely to the musical activity of the school. On numerous occasions they have aflflecl novelty and interest to our moving picture programs, both col- lectively and separately.

A hot dish of meat, vegetables or dessert is served every day at a minimum price. Everything possible is done to make this dish as wholesome and appetizing as possible. Each day the menu for the next day is posted, so that the students may know what to bring to complete their lunch. The work of the cafeteria is done by a class of girls, directed by Miss Brown. The girls receive their lunch each day and a credit toward graduation for their work. Beside the cooking, they do notebook work which is very benehcial to them. The cafeteria buys all of its supplies and pays the dish-washing bill. The aim of the cafeteria is to be self-supporting and yet come out exactly even. This is done as nearly as possible, although it necessitates much work and planning on the part of Miss Brown. Beside the regular cafeteria work, the class puts its training to use by helping with refreshments and banquets of social events. The cafeteria may be said to be one of the most successful organizations of the school, and a very valuable asset. LIBRARY Puente Union High School has one of the best if not the best equipped and managed library in a school of its size and age. The students who wish' to do library work sign up with the faculty advisor, who is chosen to be the head of the depart- ment for the term, and they are arranged so as to be in the library during their study periods. Each one has his duty, such as repairing old books, placing magazines in folders, etc., and only students who are librarians and faculty members are allowed in the room. The books for class use are given out by the library and returned at the end of the term. Books of hction and non-fiction may be had for two weeks and renewed. There is a complete catalogue of books and authors so that a book can be found with very little effort. Gur library contains a ccrnplete set of Encyclopedia Britannicas, and also a set of International Encyclopedias which are a great help lo the students when con- fronted by some difficult questions that are met every day. We receive various monthly and weekly magazines, 22 in all, some beingef--The Ladies Home Journal, The Woman's Home Companion, The American, The Scientihc American, Science and Invention, The Outlook, The Literary Digest, Good Housekeeping, The Worldis Works, The National Geographic, and several others. Also, through the kindness of various schools we receive papers that are enjoyed very much by our students. We also have sixteen volumes of uThe Library of Southern Literature which presents frankly and fully the literary life of the South throughout its entire history, hfteen books of NHistorical Talesw that deal with historical facts of European, Asiatic, Spanish American and American countries, but they differ from a history in that the most interesting incidents which occurred are chosen and cleverly worked into an interesting narrative, and eleven volumes of uNature Neighborsfl Not only the students are benefited by our library, for we have bulletins that are issued by the government which the ranchers of the valley are allowed to use whenever they wish. The bound magazines that complete the library are the National Geographic, The World's Work, The Outlook, The Literary Digest, The American, The Inde- pendent, The Scientific American, and the Mentor, all from 1915 to date. Page Fifty-nine l SCENE FROM HAIAIDIJIN AND OUT' DRAMATICS Dramatics is one of the most interesting parts of school life. This year Puente Hi has not presented as many as she has in other years, lzut the stunts of the Friday night shows have taken the place of the usual Spring Play. Many of the students are given an opportunity to use their talent in these stunts. 'LAladdin and Outf, a burlesque on the well known story, 'lAladdin and His Wonclerful Lamp, was a marked success. It was given on the evening of March 18th, by the girlsl and boys' glee clubs, under the direction of Miss Mary Bell. In this operetta we have the true Aladdin with his wonderful lamp and also the mys- terious geni, slaves, etc., which are found in the original story. Sharply contrasted to the laundry room is the rich oriental court scene with its elaborate costumes and setting. In the third act we are given ample proof of the power of the lamp by the magical erection of the gorgeous palace of Aladdin, by which he wins his beautiful bride. The appearance of modern American slang in so oriental a plot adds plenty of humor. HAladdin and Outw was a real success and was worthy of the praise it received.

Page Sixty-one HI Y CLUB HI Y CLUB The Hi Y Club was organized in this school by Mr. Neil Locke, County Secre- tary of'the Y. M. C. A., but this branch is in the Alhambra District of the County organization, and so is directly under the control of Mr. MacDonald, secretary of this district. It was organized Jan. 6, the first meeting being held the following Mon- day night, January l0, and the regular meeting time set as every Monday evening, later changed to Tuesday evening. The work of the club is efficiently carried on under the following boys as officers: Markham Salsbury, presidentg Harold Peters, vice-president, Marion Ham- mersley, secretary, and Cecil Knowlton, treasurer. Marion Hammersley succeedec Wallace Thompson as secretary. A regular program is carried out at each meeting. First there is a short busi- ness meeting. Then, twenty minutes is allowed for the speaker of the evening to give his talk, followed by the lesson in the Hi Y text-book. These lessons are on questions which are vital to every High School boy. After this, three-quarters of an hour is taken, in which the boys wrestle, box or play games as the committee in charge directs. It is a standing rule that the boys shall go home at nine oiclock. Committees are appointed as deemed necessary, to carry on the work of the club. The Activity Committee, composed of Wilbur Larmer, chairman, Otto Worthy and Stanley Maxson, lays the plans for the general activities of the club. Also, a com- mittee, which is appointed every month, takes care of the amusements at each meeting. It is the policy of the organizationfaccording to the constitution-to ucreate, maintain and extend high standards of Christian character among the boys of the High School, and this policy has been ably upheld by the efforts of Mr. Winters, our leader and advisor. Outsiders have also helped the boys by giving talks on timely subjects. Frank M. Colville gave a talk on uThe Value of Parliamentary Procedure, January 10, which was very interesting as well as instructive. Dr. W. W. Schultz gave a talk on L'Personal Hygienew on February 7th, and Prof. Ben S. Millikan talked on UAdventures of Lifew on another occasion, giving the story of his early life and how he put himself through college, showing that if a young man really wants to succeed he usually can. On February lst, the Club gave a ulfiather and Son Banquetw for the purpose of bringing the men and especially the fathers of the community into closer touch and co-operation with the work of the clubf Each father brought a son, the father, by the way, paying the ticket price of 25c. However, the dinner was worth the price, for it consisted of beans, hot rolls, pickle salad and coffee. And for desert there was pie. ln January of this year, Miss Farrington, a relief worker in Armenia, came to the school and gave a talk depicting the condition of the starving Armenians. The students of the school promptly organized themselves for a contest, the boys against the girls. The Hi Y was the boys? organization and the girls worked through the Girls' League. The contest closed on March 25th, and to the girls' dismay, the boys had 35210 while the girls had 3200. It was largely due to the efforts of the Activity Committee, and to Wilbur Larmer as chairman, that the contest was a success for the boys, as well as a good contribution to the Armenian Relief Fund. All things considered, the Hi Y is doing a remarkable work among the boys of the school. And here's hoping for better and bigger successes in the future. Page Sixty-three E l 1 1 l ,t 4 I l VT.. L SPQRTS F ? 'e 3 J 'L' i E I 3 A BASKETBALL The 1920 basketball season of the Valley League proved to be one of the very best and most closely contested yet played. A number of the schools turned out teams far better than the ordinary teams put out by schools of our size. The winner was only decided after a hard fought game between E1 Monte and Montebello who were tied at the end of the regular season. Montbello won this game and thus won the right to represent our League in the play off for the Southern Cali- fornia championship. This she did nobly by defeating Pasadena on our court for the championship of the light-weight division of Southern California. Against such class and keen competition our team of light and inexperienced players did not make a very good showing as far as games won are concerned. How- ever, when you consider the fact that only one man on the team was an upper- classman, you will agree with us that Puente's day in basketball is coming and before the men who represented Puente this year have graduated we, too, hope for a cham- pionship team. Cames were as follows: La Verne 50 .......... .......,, ...,.. P u ente 7 Downey 42 ...... ...... P uente 10 Claremont 41 ..... ...... P uente 12 El Monte 41 ....... ...... P uente 18 Montebello 24 ..... ....... P uente 14 Bonita 49 ........ ...... P uente 12 Norwalk 25 .... ....... P uente 22 TRACK Puente did not make a very good showing in track this year, due to the fact that we lost most of our star track men last year. However, some of the men showed up good for underclass men, who were: Conde in the distance runs, Blackburn in the hurdles and sprints, Faure in the high jump, Davis in the distance and weights, Lassalette in the 440, Maxson in the pole vault and low hurdles and Rowland in the sprints and high jump. These men qualified for their letters during the year. Meets held were as follows: Triangle Meet-Covina, Montebello, Puente, at Puente. Triangle Meet-Bonita, Covina, Puente, at Covina. Triangle Meet-El Monte, Bonita, Puente, at Puente. Valley League Meet-At Puente, March Sth. Cala Day Meet-At Alhambra, March 16th. Page Sixty-sewn , . S., G. 1 3 Q V x 1 'J 1 1 GIRLS' ATHLETICS Basketball has come in for its full share of interest this year, although no games were played with other schools. Class spirit was aroused and an exciting game was played between the Juniors and the Seniors. The Juniors won from the Seniors by a score of twenty-six to six, thus Winning the cup for the second year. The girls playing on the winning Junior team were: Elvira Rowland and Cecilia Olivares, forwards, Carol Boyer and Millie Watts, guards, Dorothy Iackley, jumping center, and Portia Parriott, running center. Much enthusiasm has also been shown by all the girls taking part in Indoor Baseball. The girls of the Baseball Team have shown their school spirit by practic- ing after school and by winning the second place in the Valley League. There were seven league games played this year. Puente won five and lost two. They were: La Verne I3 ......VI,.... ,..Ir..c.....,...Y,t.....,,,c,t...,,,,c P uente 30 Downey I3 .......,.... ..,r... P uente 8 Claremont 9 ,...... .....,.

Tennis received enthusiastic support last year when a cup was awarded to the girl who succeeded in winning the tennis singles. The cup was won by Portia Par- riott after three close games were played. The girls also put a team into the League Tournament at El Monte this year. BASEBALL ,When baseball season rolled around and stock was taken, Puente's chances didn't appear to be very bright, due to the same old story, lack of experienced players. However, the dope seems to have been badly spilled, for out of a bunch of rookies and a few veterans from last year's team the coach has built up a team which, con- trary to expectation, is making a real bid for the pennant. As we go to press only part of the season has been played off, but we are among the lead, and will go after the pennant.

The girls of Puente Union High School are trying to do each and succeed. In the fall came basketball and baseball. Each girl welcomed them with a hearty cheer by showing what they could do. In spring came the Decathlon events, a series of ten athletic enterprises. The events and the requirements for a hundred per cent grade are as follows: The rings, six ringsg sit up, twelve timesg push up, ten times, tennis, serve six balls out of teng basketball, throw for accuracy, eight out of ten, for distance fifty-five feetg for goals, six out of ten, baseball batting, eight out of teng baseball pitching, six out of ten, and the sixty yard dash, eight seconds. Many of the girls proved their skill by coming up to the requirements of the events. After the Decathlon came tennis which hnished the year of school. BOYS' PHYSICAL TRAINING The boys physical training class, under the supervision of the director, Mr. Winters, has been kept pretty busy. During the basketball season the squad played basketball and some very exciting games were played. When track season came the class joined in with the regular track squad and secured some good training. Dur- ing the last quarter they tried out for the Decathlon Events, a series of events sent out by the State Board of Physical Education. Every boy taking physical training is required to test himself in these events. After every boy has tried out an average is made and sent in to the State Board. In lVlay there was a meet of all the schools in Southern California with a hun- dred or less enrollment. In this meet the championships in these events was decided. TENNIS Puente has not accomplished a great deal so far this year in tennis. An inter-class tennis tournament was held, the Sophomores winning the tennis singles and the Juniors the doubles. Last year no tennis tournament was held. The girls so far have not started their tennis so it is imposible to say as to the prospects, but if they do as well in tennis as they have in baseball it will be a suc- cessful year for them. The winner of the singles is presented each year with a cup which is a permanent trophy of P. U. H. S. and remains at the school with the win- ner's name each year engraved upon it. Puente was represented at the League Tournament at El Monte by the follow- ing: Esther Colville and Dorothy Evans in the girls, cloublesg Edwin Zeiler and Wallace Thompson in the boys' doublesg and Kermit Graham in the boys, singles.

Feeling that we coulcl not do justice to those whom we are not now associated with, we have asked a mem- ber of each class to give a write-up concerning the members and their whereabouts. Q Page Seventy-four CLASS OF 1916 The class of 1916 was the first to graduate from Puente Union High School and consists of only two members. Hortense Cota is at the present time doing secretarial work for the Pennsylvania Rubber Company in Los Angeles. Mrs. Miles Desmond, known to us as Gladys Dailey, is now living at her home in Massachusetts. r CLASS OF 1917 The class of 717 was the second to graduate from Puente Union High and its members are now successful men and women. Katherine Bogue is a nurse at the Pomona Hospital and a very good one, too. Gladys Parriot is taking care of the cows and chickens on her father's ranch at Nor- walk. She seems to like it. Dorothea Seaman and Wilma Cross have made their homes in Puente and are now Mrs. Royden Hopper and Mrs. Frank Stanton, respectively. Eunice Becker has completed her own education only to go on educating others. She teaches at Santa Monica. Nellie Bowers still lives at Walnut and so far as we can learn she is the same old Nellie. Jo Paden is the assistant Cashier at the First National Bank and is already a successful business man. At Berkeley the class is represented by Elizabeth Murley and at Whittier Col- lege by Alfonso Frazier. George Paden has also chosen a business career and has cast his lot with Ham- mersley's Hardware Store at Puente. -G. P. 717. CLASS OF 1918 The class of 1918, consisting of nine members, was the third class to graduate from Puente High. These few have separated and are doing various things. Boyden Hopper and one of the members of the preceding class have set up house keeping in a lovely home in Puente. He also builds homes for others and does any kind of carpenter work. In Walnut, we find Florence Lee, now Mrs. Harry Parsons, washing dishes, etc., which shows that she is a very good housewife. Fern Bowers is living at home and employed at the Orange Packing House. We are represented at Stanford University by Victor Thomas who is studying to be an M. D., at Pomona College are Mary Peet and Frances Maxson. Mary is majoring in music and Frances in Physical Education. Augustus Worthy is working his ranch near Huntington Beach. He is making good in the farming business. Agnes Berry and Emilienne Rambaud are assisting in their homes, just now. But despite separation of place or profession, there abides the same loyalty to their High School and unsellish devotion to every great cause. -F. M. 'l8. Page Seventy-fi1'P CLASS OF 1919 The Class of 1919 is proud of the report she is able to make. Our members have many of them left the home roost and are engaged in various ways although none of them have as yet set up housekeeping. One of our most prominent members, George Schurr, is attending U. S. C., studying to be a civil engineer. A few blocks away at the Southern branch Anna Wall is preparing herself for a teacher. Harold Larmer and Lauren Smith have entered the service of our country, Harold on a merchant marine vessel traveling in foreign waters and Lauren at Mare lsland where he is a member of the Marine band. We are represented at Pomona College by Marjorie Maxson and Ruth Rowland. At Occidental are Herbert Pearson, Ross Norton and Margaret Tindall. Ross dis- tinguished himself early in the game by winning his class numerals in football. Violet Boyer is making good as bookkeeper in the Puente Electric shop and Doris Slack is at present assisting in her home. Leslie Robbins is 'cfollowing the soilf, helping his father on the ranch. The force of the First National Bank at Puente is increased by two of our members who are employed there, Robert Robinson and Edwin Pyle, better known as Bob and MEd. We regret the loss of one of our members, Gladys Hutchcroft who died in the fall of 1919. We are the biggest class that has yet graduated from Puente High and we trust that you will not be disappointed in expecting big things of us. -M. T. 719. CLASS OF 1920 The expired, extinct and otherwise eradicated Class of '20, in entering into the turmoil and strife of this world of terrihc and hydrocloric bombasticness, has at- tempted with elevated enthusiasm to cope with the entertwining and interpolating problems obstructing and otherwise hindering a life of sublimity and bliss. Mr. Williard Schurr, ex-assistant professor of Sharkology, has spent these many months in the good, useful and intrinsic work of telling the Garden plot. He says College for him next year. William Spurlock, erstwhile queener and grocery clerk, too has settled into the good old rut of following the plow. His home is in Edisong sounds musical, but who knows? Muriel Burgess, class vamp, has found her pursuit of life in playing telephone girl. Perhaps it will soon be time for rice and old shoes. Frank Hostetler, since being granted a divorce on grounds of being henpecked, has settled on being a bachelor, and in following out this resolution most effectively has decided on a life of idleness, perhaps from despondency, but judge not lest if 1' Walter Worthy and Erwin Becker, having a bad case of no-nothingness, are now at- tending Occidental College in the hope of becoming better sophisticated. Amelie Lassalette, chief exponent of Bolshevism, is also attending Occidental, perhaps in the hope of becoming a shining example of radical thinking in order to bring her merits to the attention of Lenine, her uncle by adoption. Miss Isabelle Cota, in fitting her- self for a domestic and well ordered life, has taken up a correspondence course deal- ing with the duties devolving a post-office clerk. Mary MacDonald, after successfully completing a course at the 'cEXperts Training Institute, is now waiting for a position whereby she can earn her daily bread. Mary Philebar, otherwise Peg, has cast her lot with the home town bank, where she intends to spend the rest of her life as general helper and office boy. This is the extent of activity so far endured by the worthy members of the class of 720, so be it, let them rest. -E. B. 120. Page Seventy-six 5 E 2 3 5 1 V1 Puente, Cal., Sept. I7, 1920. Dear Jean: Well, vacation is over, and we are back at school again. Weive got two new teachers this year, Miss Bell, the music teacher, and Mr. Winters, the manual train- ing teacher. Weive only been in school about a week now, but do you know, the Seniors have had a party already. ' It was an initial get-together party given by Leota Frazier over at her house on North Whittier Heights. The evening was spent playing all kinds of games and performing crazy stunts. But the main event of the evening was a grand watermelon feed. Donit you wish you had been there? This is a rather short letter, but I will have a longer one for you next time. With love, PEGGY. P. S.-I just wanted to add that the Physics class is going to Markham Salsburyis next Tuesday evening to 'Glisten ini' on his wireless set. Of course I wonit be able to tell you what goes on because there are no girls in the class, but Miss Irvin will be there, and you can rest assured that everyone will get home on time. PEG. Puente, Cal., Oct. I, I920. Dear Jean: Itis nearly two weeks since l've written you, but unless something goes on there isnit much to write about. Last night we had our annual Freshman Reception, and I wish you could have been there. Poor little Freshmen, they were really scared, for fear we might hurt them. But we didnit do anything very bad. First we took them upstairs to the balcony which, by the way was as dark, as dark could be, and treated them to two very laughable comedy reels, which were made sometime in the A. Dfs. Then they were blindfolded and taken into the music room where the real initiation began, with an uelevatorw to take them up and make them jump off. They were only about two inches above the floor, and it felt like the floor came up and hit them in the face. Such squeals and tumbles! Then they appeared before the Honorable Judge of Honesty 4Mr. McIntosh? and he asked them who they loved. Poor kidsl If they didnit answer correctly they had to wear a dunee cap the rest of the evening. After they had been put through everything, they all managed to march down- stairs to the study hall which was prettily decorated in green and white. For refresh- ments we had brick ice-cream and the nicest salad made of fruit and put in a hol- lowed-out apple. Everybody had a good time, even the Freshmen, and 'many expressed their re- grets at not being a freshman every year. Don't say anything, but I have heard rumors that the Alumni are going to have a reception sometime soon, for the students of P. U. H. S. If itis true, the Alumni are really showing some life after all. I'll write you again soon, and by the way, you havenit answered that last letter of mine. Lovingly, PEGGY. Page Seven ty-ciglzt P. U. H. S., lSixth periodl Oct. 16, 1920. Dear Jean: We have been having the pleasantest times lately. We had our Freshmen Re- ception and no sooner was it over, than the Alumni invited all the Students and Faculty of Puente High to a kid party. Even the name radiates fun. And we cer- tainly had it. The party was given here at school in the evening. The members of the Alumni entertained us by giving readings and stunts in the auditorium. Then we went upstairs where we enjoyed ourselves by playing kiddish games which none of us had forgotten. But the best of all were the all-day suckers which we enjoyed greatly as we hadnit had any for so long. 1 really think l shall have lots to write you about this year as activities look very promising. Your friend, PEGGY. Puente, Cal., Nov. 1, 1920. Dear Jean: On the way home on the bus last night, Dotty told me all about this Hallowe'en party the Juniors had out at Millie Watts. And it was an honest-to-goodness Hal- lowe'en party. The house was decorated with cats ani spooks an' everything. The colors were black and gold which suggest Halloweien and are our school colors too, you know. They played lots and lots of games. Also there was a gum pull which got them all stuck up, poor things! Oh! Yes, and they had realf?l cider for re- freshment and 1 overheard that it had a Ukicki' in it but l didn't report them. They also had doughnuts. Dot didnit say what time they got home. But 1 do think that cider furnished them with pep enough for the whole term for they certainly are a lively bunch. Just ask any one if they are not, especially the Seniors. But now 1'm getting on dangerous ground and I had better stop. - With love, PEGGY. Puente, Cal., Nov. 27, 1920. Dear Jean: A whole month and nothing of interest has happened, at least nothing important enough to write about. But now itis the Juniors again. The Junior class, that is part of their class, went on a hike to lVlt. Wilson. They left here about nine o'clock Friday morning, in a couple of machines, which ob- stacles they left at Sierra Madre. They walked and climbed and walked some more until they reached the halfway house, where they expected to enjoy themselves and rest a bit. But not so. The people there did not see it in that light and so they journeyed on a ways to eat their lunch. They made the summit in about six and one-half hours all together. That night was spent in the cabins and most of the Juniors made a vow that they would be up to see the sun rise, but the sun was up to see them rise. Then to make up for lost time they visited Echo Rock and the Gbservatory after which they took the trail for home and made the decline in four hours. They had the time of their lives even if their feet were blistered. Next time I hope 1 can write about some other class, itis been Juniors twice now. With love, PEGGY. P. S.-Those poor Juniors never would have reached their destination though, if it hadnat been for that poor, little flea-bitten burro. PEG. Page Serelzty-rzz'ne Puente, Cal., Feb. 2, 1921. Dear Jean: Itis getting late and I have my English to study yet, but I want to tell you about the Senior party last Weclnesday. The Seniors were invited to a party to be given by Alvina Dreyer, a member of their class, at her home in West Covina. lVIost all of the class was present and they certainly enjoyed themselves, by pinning the tail on the donkey and doing other stunts. You should know by this time that they dearly love to sing and so they sang until all the people in the neighborhood were awakened. Delicious refreshments were served, including candle-light salad, grape juice, nuts, candies and just lots of other good things. The last but not the least thing they did, was to shower lVIr. and lVIrs. Hannah, a newly wedded couple of the Senior class, with handfuls of rice. I do believe they would have tied old shoes to their machine, but shoes are so high priced at present that they couldn't afford to give them away. That's all I have time for this time, because live got that English lesson to do yet. But you will hear from me again soon, because there is lots going on. I did enjoy your last letter so much, and I hope you won't put off writing very long. With love, PEG. Puente, Cal., Feb. 15, 1921. Dear Jean: Now itis the under classes, and they are certainly coming to the front. The Freshmen and Sophomores had a Valentine party together, which shows that they can be friends once in awhile. They used the music and Imagaga rooms up- stairs. A Valentine scheme was carried out in the decorations, which were very pretty. They played all sorts of games and had a grand march, Virginia reel and a heart contest. That is, each person was given a heart on which he or she wrote their name and made up a verse about it. For example if your name happened to be Polly you could write, Poor Old Lady Loves You. Some of the verses were very clever. Cocoa and cake were served as refreshments and a good time was voted by all. Oh, Jean, I was so glad to hear that you are coming out for the week-end, and Ilm sure we can have a lovely time together. Donit forget to bring that book you said you would let me have. Sincerely, PEGGY. Puente, Cal., March 2, 1921. Dear Jean: We had such a lovely time together last week, didrft we? I do hope you can come again some time. The Seniors had a surprise party on Leota Frazier, the occasion being her birth- day. Two machine loads went up to her home and took along some good things to eat. Need I say she was completely surprised? Different games were played, and fortunes read by spinning the bottle. Some very astonishing things were revealed. The greater part of the evening was spent in Page Eighty singing popular songs. After refreshments were served, and every one had enjoyed themselves to their hearts, content, the party broke up and the happy Seniors left for home. But that does not end their live times for I have heard rumors of a St. Patricks, party which I will tell you about soon. As ever, PEGGY. Puente, Cal., March 21, 1921. Dear Jean: How do you like the results of Gala Day at Alhambra. It certainly was too bad that it rained on Saturday so that the Stunts had to be put off. But there, I'm getting away from what I wanted to tell you. The Seniors have had another party. This time it was a St. Patricks party, given by Esther Colville and Frank Welch at the Rowland. And can you imagine, the dignified Seniors were invited to hunt green snakes! Even their names were changed to Irish ones as it was a typical Irish party through and through. The evening was spent singing Irish songs and playing games. Some of the games were: an Irish potato race with a potato on the end of a yardstick'-the prize was a bag of said potatoes, won by Wilbur Larmerg a trip through Ireland, Mani they never reached home until morningfw Then the snake hunt. There was a snake in every nook and corner of the room. And as two persons found the same amount of snakes a coin was flipped and Frank Hannah received a gorgeous box of chocolates as a prize. The color scheme of green and white was carried out splenidly. The refresh- ments consisted of white brick ice cream with a green shamrock in the center, also cake, punch, and green mints were served. A clever little souvenir spoon tied with a green ribbon, with the class numerals and the personis Irish name in the bowl, was given as a favor to each person. How I wish you could be here to enjoy some of these good times! With love, PEGGY. Puente, Gal., April 10, 1921. Dear Jean: I will let the Seniors have a rest awhile and tell you of a picnic the Freshman class had. It was at Ganesha Park, Pomona, yesterday. They left school about ten o'clock taking the school bus, and arriving at their destination about eleven oiclock. The girls and boys roamed over the beautiful hills, and gathered flowers, until the gardener came up and asked them very sweetly to please not pick the posies. But not satisfied with that they began to tease a dear little doggie, belonging to a woman of the same disposition as the gardener. Then thinking to make amends the children gave Fido a weinie for luncheon. But! That made things all the worse. For Fido was on a diet and should have no dinner. Nevertheless those present had a delightful time playing games and also visiting the Greek Theater. After supper they started home and arrived safely without further trouble. The Freshmen seem to be getting along quite well socially this year, and I hope the next will do as well. It's getting late now and I still have some lessons to do. We are so busy near the end of the year, that you probably won't hear from me for some time. Lovingly, PEGGY.
