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. Page Tzcezzty-seren
