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.
