Your guess is as good as mine. EL! ' A Busy hands are happy hands. Wood presents for Christmas this year. IO LASSROO VVe are here to learn . . . to gain knowl- edge. Since this is so important, the PANORAMA wishes to present a picture of some of the phases of everyday school life. Arundel offers varied courses of study which lead to four types of diplomas: Academic, General, Stenographic, and General Business. Three new courses were offered at Arun- del this year. Speech and Dramatics has helped students to know more about plays and the theater, and it has also helped them gain confidence for speaking and improve dramatic talents. As a first step in expanding our science program, Zoology has been added. Review of Math was offered to juniors and seniors as a study of basic mathematical principles and fields. English is taken every year. Aside from learning correct grammar, we write term papers, study and interpret the works of many famous authors, and do creative writing. ln our history classes we cover everything from ancient history to present day problems in the world. These classes are VVorld History, United States History, and Problems of Democracy. A mock presidential election was held last fall by a PUD. Committee. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology are included in the science program. ln our classroom dis- cussions we learn the many principles of science. Laboratory periods enable us to put these principles to practical use.
