ABOUT THIS BLOG
This blog has been created in order to make available to a wider audience some elementary-school class pictures from the Puente area in southeastern Los Angeles County, from the mid-1940's to the mid-1950's. CLICK on the school years shown near the top of this page to see the class pictures for each school year. Don't forget the MORE listings at the right-hand end. The individual elementary schools are described on the SCHOOLS page. The classes shown are mostly those from what became the nucleus of the La Puente High School Class of 1959, but some are also included from other high-school years. The " cohort " year refers to the year of potential high-school graduation for students making normal progress through school. Many of the students shown did not graduate from Puente/La Puente High School in the "cohort" year, due to moves to other school districts, repeating years, skipping years, or dropping out of school.
