Academy Offers Wide Range Of Science Courses Science covers a wide range of subject matter, and at the Academy there are as many different science courses offered as could be expected of any high school. Richmond offers the usual courses of biology, chem- istry, and physics, hut for those who are oriented toward this field there are also classes in advanced chemistry, botany and zoology. It is easy to see how Academy graduates have little trouble with their college science courses. A course is just as good as its instructor, and it is here that Rich- mond takes greatest pride in its science department. Some of the top instructors in the state and, in some cases, the southeast are on the faculty of the science department. The sciences are all interesting, hut at Richmond they become captivating!

T. J. HUFFMAN PRESTON BARBER AB—Marshall BS—U. of Ga. MA—Ohio State AARON LIVELY BA—Mercer History, Psychology, And Government Courses Offer ARC Students An Interesting And Important Social Studies Curriculum A wide variety of Social Studies are offered at the Academy. The range of courses includes psychology, economic geography and the usual history and government studies. Of course, a knowledge of the history and geography of our world, country, and state is one of the foundations upon which a good education is built. At Richmond a student receives more than a good study of the social sciences. He receives an excellent background in this area which will stand him in excellent stead for his future education and give him an awareness of happenings in the world around him. ARC’s teachers are highly regarded by others of the same profession and are respected by the various historical and political societies in our immediate community. The general consensus of opinion is that a graduate of Richmond who has had the full complement of the social studies is well prepared to exercise his rights and privileges as a citizen and to cope with the problems confront- ing him in the w'orld.
