,QW-A De fcaffonffrt WMM We honor the more than five hundred and fifty seniors who are being graduated in June of 1959, for it is with this class that Arcadia High School completes its first milestone in many years of its educational service to the community. Members of the class of 1955, the first graduating class of Ar- cadia, are now completing their college careers and thus offer the first opportunity for this relatively new school to evaluate the adequacy of preparation which these students received from the high school. Others of this class have gone out into the adult world and have become worthwhile members of their communities. Since the inception of the high school, members of the administrative, teaching, and non certificated staffs have worked diligently to make this one of the finest schools in Southern California. Members of the Board of Education and the District Administrative Staff have given unselfishly of their talents and time in shaping policy and directives to implement the development of the school. The school staff has been so thorough in its planning of curriculum offerings and school procedures that each year has seen a marked improvement in educational climate. With the completion, in 1954, of the final section of the school plant as it stands today, student enroll- ment was slightly less than seventeen hundred with a staff of 84 teachers and administrators. At the close of 1959 almost 2550 students and about 109 faculty members occupy this same campus. Through the years, such strides had been made not only in enlarging the number of course offerings but improving the quality of instruction that by the time the first seniors were graduated in 1955, their high school training was accepted without question by leading colleges and universities all over the United States. In 1957, far in advance of the popular demand for more advanced courses for academically able stu- dents, a pilot program of accelerated courses was begun. ln 1958, a further refinement in class scheduling and curriculum offerings also provided a full range of courses for the average and less able students who could also be challenged to develop their individual abilities to the fullest extent. Now, with the class of 1959 having completed its iourney through public education provided by the citizens of Arcadia, these young people go out into the adult world better prepared than ever before to take their places in society. It is to this class which stands as a symbol of Ar- cadia's coming of age that the 1959 Arcadian is proudly dedicated.
