SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four long years ago, the Class of '22 started its well known career at Puente Union High School. Ah! we were freshies then, having all the characteristics of most Freshmen. We were timid, scared and mischievous, the last being a charac- teristic we have retained through all four years. In number we were 'twenty-five, being the largest class that had entered Puente High up to that time. During our Freshman year we chose our class colors, the garnet and white, and our motto, which is '6We Climb Though the Rocks Be Ruggedf, Miss Goodale was selected as our class teacher and Dorothy Jackley as our president for the year. The chief social function of the year was the one which all Freshies attend, none forget and all en- joy-the Freshman reception. During the year Leila Cole, Rosalie Ruiz, and Vernon White dropped out and Grace Cooper, Josephine Faure, Laura Moon, and Murray Link took their places, giving us a total of twenty-six at the end of the year. The loss of members during our Sophomore year seemed at first past repair, but others took their places and the class reached its height for the four years. Those leaving our happy crowd were, Blanche Bue, Donald Spurlock, Nellie Sewell, Wil- liam Hardwick, Edde Underwood, William Bowers and Ronald McClay, the last three being members of the class only part of the year. Those who joined us were Cecelia Olivares, Irene Young, Wallace Thompson, Earl Hall, Elvira Rowland, Charles Blackburn, and Alice Langdon. Our Junior year started well, under the guidance of Mr. McIntosh as our ad- visor and Dorothy ,Iackley as president. We had a Hallowe'en party at the home of Millie Watts and a hike to Mt. Wilson, which we will never forget. The Girlis Interclass Basketball team led in athletics by winning the silver loving cup. Eight of the girls represented us on the girl's baseball team, two boys in boysl baseball and one of our number was successful as a member of the track team. Millie Watts had the honor of being elected vice president of the Student Body. By the end of the year our number had dropped to twenty-four. Laura Moon, Irene Young, Wallace Thompson, Winifred Wimmer, Earl Hall, Neva Turner, Marie Wildon, Ben Maxson, and Eugene Ireland left. Francis McDonald, Edwin Zeiler, Blythe Taylor and Alberta Shepek entered. Cyrelle Evans was also a member of our class for a part of the year. The last and the crowning year of both our work and our play was our Senior year. Once more our number rose to twenty-nine. Nine new members, namely, Paul Blackburn, Rosie Miller and Harry Miller, Anna Zuniga, Gladys Smythe, George St. Clair, William Andrews, and Ross McMillan entered, but two others, Francis McDonald, and Norman McCoy dropped out. Cecelia Olivares was chosen for our president for the first semester and Charles Blackburn for the second. Mr. McIntosh remained our class advisor and our inspiration for the entire year. Once again the girls won the championship in girls' interclass basketball. Portia Parriott, Cecelia Olivares, Carol Boyer, and Elvira Rowland represented us in girls, baseball and Paul Blackburn, Harry Miller, Charles Eaure and Charles Blackburn in track, each receiving a medal in the Valley League Track Meet. Charles Faure also repre- sented us in boys' basketball and baseball. The social functions of the year, which are well worth mentioning were a wienie bake at Fish Canyon, a trip to Mt. Wilson, a theatre party to see the 4'Mission Playf' a hot tamale roast at Cecelia Olivaresl and a party in honor of the faculty. Arbor Dav was observed for the first time in Puente High School, by the Class of '22. After a short program, a tree was planted in a corner of the front lawn. The Senior play, 4'Strongheart, and the class day program as well, were both a success in every Way'And so closed our high school career and one of the never to be forgotten ex- periences of a life time.

Although the majority of the members are boys, the class has had several very suc- cessful social gatherings. The students who were Juniors this year have a glorious future ahead of them, as Seniors next year. For they have attained class spirit and real co-operation in the last three years and have succeeded in making a place for themselves in the school The class is well represented in both athltic and social enterprises. Stanley Maxson, record breaker of P. U. H. S. is a loyal Junior and the class IS very proud of him and of the other Junior members who have taken an active part in athletics and other school activities. This year's basketball team was composed mostly of Junior boys. Also the Junior boys took a part in football and track. The two good pitchers, catcher and several fielders and basemen on the boys' baseball team are men of 1923. The girls represent the class in many organizations, Girls, League, Student Body officers, Debating Club, Orchestra and Annual Staff. The social life of the Junior class started out very well with a Weiner roast and theatre party at Pomona. A party held at HLa Maison Joyellew closely followed this and then a barn party for Juniors and Freshmen was given at the Maxson home, The Juniors raised a good sum of money this year by having stands at the games.
