Atilcaolal high Schools Contemponany Campus Mrs. Pat Loechner and Candy Metzgar leave the main entrance of the administration building. Campus CONSTRUCTED around a central rally court which serves as a student meeting place, Arcadia High School was planned to give maximum classroom space with modernistic grounds for atmosphere and beauty. Classrooms and administrative buildings are constructed in parallel rows with covered corridor connectives, with doors at the north and south ofthe rooms. All rooms have win- dows facing north, in order to better utilize natural sunshine for lighting. Actual classrooms are arranged according to subject taught. Music buildings are at the northwest corner of the school property, while such subiects as mathematics, English, sciences, and languages are each assigned specific 4 , lf f MVV l halls to occupy. Cafeteria, Snack Bar, and Student Store facilities border the rally court so that students may use these facilities during snack and lunch periods. The Little Theater was designed and built near Campus Drive so that Civic and school groups could give presentations with a minimum disturbance to students during school sessions, and also be handy to park- ing accommodations. Physical Education facilities are situated to the east of the rally court with shop buildings in the intermediate area to the south of the court. ll l ,l Y tri ,A ' ,V 1 yu i , ,Eff 1

was an lnteanal pant Oli Community life MODERN SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE framed by graceful shrubbery, grassy lawns, expanses of varigated ivy, and stately trees form a beautiful campus of which all Arcadians are iustly proud. Against a magnificent northerly backdrop of the San Gabriel mountains, Arcadia High School is a familiar landmark in a rapidly-growing, Southern California residential community. l With the continued growth and expansion of the City of Arcadia itself, Arcadia High School became seriously over- crowded. An additional bond issue in 1959 provided the neces- sary funds for construction of New Foothills Junior High and enlargement of First Avenue and Richard Henry Dana iunior high schools, making possible the shift to a 6-3-3 system in the dis- trict. With this educational program, ninth graders remained in the iunior highs, and the high school became a three year school. The resultant reduction in enrollment provided a less crowd- ed atmosphere with fewer inconveniences to both students and faculty members, while school facilities were expanded. The high school continued its academic advances, strength- ening the instructional program and challenging students to realize their full educational capacities and development. Outstanding faculty leadership provided the impetus for greater achievement through individual research and for the development of the individual potentials of each student. Students gather nformally as they wait for buses at the Campus Drive loading zone. -
