Four Courses Offered In Home Ec EDITH LILLYWHITE CECELIA M. WITTY “Statistics say that a girl who graduates from high school today will he employed 25 years of her life.” This statement was made by Mrs. Cecilia Witty, home economics teacher. These statistics form the basis for a new philosophy in the teach- ing of home ec. The stress today is on home management, not development of skill. Arcadia girls may elect from four courses offered by the department. Homemaking I, specialization in foods or clothing, and human relations. The latter places emphasis on understanding of self and others in order to develop the art of “getting along,” and thus insure greater satisfaction from life.

Wide Diversity Offered In Science “Arcadia has one of the best advanced science de- partments in the state,” says Mr. Baxter Hum, head of the Science Department. We have well qualified teachers, a wide range of subject choices, and are attempting to increase laboratory facilities. Freshmen are required to take a science, but the department offers many classes including thirty of biology (three types), eleven of chemistry (four types), six of physics (three types), and two of astronomy and geology. 25 Dave Williams examines the heavens with one of the telescopes obtained by the Science Department this year.
