 cational Week would not be complete if the student body were not given an opportunity to express their opin- ion about the High School. The statements given below were se- lected at random out of several hun dred similar statements:
 Did any one of you loyal Coyotes, when you were away from home and school ever hear some one say some thing of old P. U III. s. Didn't you just swell up with pride and have an honest-to goodness thrill pass over when as you proudly said: T am member of that High School"
 We are just an infant High School when we think of the old schools in California, Chicago or New York, but just the same, we are on the map. We have six beautiful buildings that cover three city blocks. We have a football team that any High School in the country could be proud of. We have a principal who has proved himself a success and we have a splendid faculty. When we see our splendid school, and feel our real Coyote spirit, we cannot help but be proud of Phoenix High.

 1 d that compares with Phoenix High, and for the love of Mike. don't let self government get into it." Thus writes a former student who at tended P.U.S s. H. for two years. and is now a senior in Los Angeles high. Almost invariably pupils who leave Phoenix. think that the High School here is the best they ever went to. It stands comparison with the best in the country. Or course there are some things not just right but what institution is? If those who wish to criticize would do so by giving a straight forward. constructive criti- cism and if the administration would give more attention to real criticisms a better spirit would be developed.
 JONATHAN MICHAELS.
 P. U III. s. Is a world within itself, and to ask a loyal member of the Coyote clan what he thinks of the school is like asking a Roman what he thinks of Rome.
 Our buildings, some of the finest in the country, speak for them selves. However. it is not the buildings which speak most, but our faculty. Our teachers are all suc- cessful, experienced and earnest in their work and what is more i'm portant they take a personal interest in every student. That interest alone. is invaluable. It subdues and represses the mechanical tendencies which are so hard to keep free from a tedious routine.
 The school life or spirit existing at P. U. H. $. is marvellous. The students and faculty are in perfect harmony in their work and the stu dents themselves are closely united One of the reasons for this unity is athletics and who can deny their value in every way? Every Coyote is interested in athletics althougf just a few participate, but what is better. every student is booster fol Phoenix High. He is loyal anC never knocks. He criticizes, bu justly and rightly. Will not tha spirit be valuable to some commun- ity some day? Not only are loyalt, and unity promoted by athletics bu also good fellowship and fairness | These qualities are always valuabl | to an institution of any kind and l every student from all United State | schools could graduate with thos 1 qualities deeply imbedd d in thei characters, would not America profit l Truly P. U. H. $. is a wonderful edu cational institution not only from tn l standpoint of mental training bu | also in the high principles for whic it contends.

 In my opinion the Phoenix Hig school is good school striving un I der difficulties. The faculty and tn
 student body are both doing all
 their power to make the school bel
 ter and the many Improvements {
 the past few years are their reward
 But there is outside the school a
