B.S., M.A, Occidental College Los Angeles State College Chairman, Science Dept. Science Club President of ATA Science Club OFFERED BY THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT is a wide range of physical and biological sci- ence courses. Physical Science, which includes studies of several different physical sciences, is offered to Sophomores. Applied Science is an elective physical science course for Juniors and Seniors, and Chemistry, a col- lege preparatory course, is also open to Juniors and Seniors. This class stresses the study of atomic structure, the formation of molecules, and a practical use of chemical knowledge. Phy- sics, like Chemistry, is a college preparatory course for upper- classmen. Studies of the differ- ent forms of energy and of atomic structure are included. Accelerated Physics places a greater emphasis on mathemat- ics to give the student better subiect understanding. General Biology, for Sopho- mores, Juniors, and Seniors, serves as an introduction to Advanced Biology by involving study in human, animal, and plant biology. Also included are first aid and safety, and a unit on the effects of tobacco, alcohol and narcotics on the body. Advanced Biology is a college preparatory course offered to Juniors and Seniors. Studies in- cluded are plants, zoology, and human physiology. Botany, a systematic study of the plant kingdom, includes conservation and forestry. A requirement for graduation is the completion of one physical and one biological science course. For college, -an eleventh or twelfth year prepar- atory science course is required. 4312 FRED SCHWAB GEORGE STAPLETON ROBERT E VOILES JOHN L.

IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD where the study of Mathematics is a more impor- tant subiect than even before, Arcadia's curriculum has become increasingly more comprehen- sive. Courses offered include Algebra I and II, Plane and Solid Geometry, and Trigonom- etry, as well as a complete accelerated program in these courses. Refresher and General Maths are also offered for study. During the past year, students who have completed Algebra I and both Plane and Solid Geom- etry concurrently while still in Junior High will advance to Accelerated Algebra II at the Sophomore level. When they reach the Senior level, these stu- dents will be able to take Math- ematics Analysis, which includes Trigonometry and an Introduc- tion to Calculus. Also, there is planned a year's course for a study of more comprehensive Algebra. Algebra I includes the funda- mental mathematical concepts through the quadratic equations in the first year. After success- fully completing Algebra I, stu- dents may take Plane Geometry. This course includes the study of points, lines, and areas of a single plane through deductive reasoning, and the relationships among them. It also includes a 20 basic introduction to Analytical Geometry. Algebra II is a con- tinuation of Algebra I including quadratic functions, logarithms the binominal theorem, deter- minants, progressions, probabil- ity, mathematical induction, and inequality. Solid Geometry and Introduction to Analytic Geom- etry is a one-semester course with the first half devoted to Solid Geometry and the second half to introductory topics in Analytic Geometry. Trigonometry is also a one-semester course consisting of studies of various solutions of triangles and the study of the analytical aspects ofthe various trigonometic func- tions. Students must pass their previous mathematics courses with a grade of at least C to advance to the next mathe- matics level. General Math may be taken by any student. This course covers the content of practical mathematics and is an intro- duction to algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Refresher Math is a review of the fundamental operations of arithmetic. It is :lesigned for Seniors who have not satisfied the requirements of the mathematics test taken in the Junior year. The student must pass the course, if taken, to be able to graduate. WARREN I.

MARTINEZ B.A. Los Angeles State College Language While language Stuoents Gxploneo WORLD FlVE LANGUAGES are offered to students at Arcadia High. Four years of Spanish, French, Latin and German are available, but to take the fourth year of language students must have begun study in the ninth grade. At this time only one class in Russian may be taken for study. Curriculum for a first year of any language is basically gram- mar, pronunciation skills and cultural patterns. Second year language courses place more emphasis on reading, transla- tion and conversation, but gram- mar and cultural studies are continued. Composition and book reading in the foreign language are the main units of study in the third and fourth years. Newly added to the Language Department is the language lab, used by the Spanish, French, German, and Russian Classes. The lab gives students practice in speaking and hearing the language they are studying. Be- cause all students speak at once, all get practice, while in a class- room only one student can speak at a time. Also, the laboratory. gives students an opportunity to hear a variety of native speakers instead of being limited to the teacher. . ' 1 languages M 'N MRS.
