with the Prinoipal, Board, and other Administrators 1 Principals Message 1 1 A formula consists of a combination of several elements in varying proportions. Change the proportions and you change the end product. Our school can be said to be as a formula. A school consists of students and faculty plus a large number of intangibles such as cooperation, spirit, drive, individu- ality, and loyalty. With the right combination of these various elements the end product will be a successful school. During the past school year we have experimented with the elements in our formula for a successful school. At times we have had too much individuality mixed with too little spirit and drive, but, recognizing a poor end product, proceeded to change the formula. Our school, because of this experimenting, ended the year a better 4 product than at the beginning. This is the essence of progress. f I believe that as long as we have schools we will have to experiment This should not give us a feeling of futility but rather one of vitality. As we continue to grow, we will look into our school's past and use the results in the future. Robert Schilling, new Puente High principal, was an efficient administrator. of some of the experiments as a guide to our work John A.
