Without the basic communicative skills, the individual cannot discharge his responsibilities in our American society. Under the maior areas of speaking, reading, writing and listening, the student actively participates in all phases of the language arts program. The use of grammar, punctuation, capitalization, usage, spelling, penmanship, reading skills, vocabulary development, appreciation of literature, newspapers and understand- ing radio, television and motion picture films all con- tribute to the communicative skills expected from each individual in accordance with his ability to utilize the opportunities made possible in Arcadia High School. Creative writing and capitalizing on purposeful situ- ations for writing are encouraged at every opportunity. Three years of English are required for graduation from Arcadia. More capable students are channeled into accelerated programs at each of the three grade levels, with other students being assigned to regular or remedial classes as their abilities in the language area are indicated. Flexible scheduling permits students to move from one level to another, in relation to their achievement. In addition, drama, speech and iournalism are of- fered for each of the three years and serve as electives. Drama students present one and three act plays, speech students participate in tournaments with other member schools of the National Forensics League, and advanced journalism students publish the school newspaper and the annual. Thus, the total language arts program is intended to provide many rich and varied experiences for young people, in order- that they not only be able to under- stand and enioy their immediate high school world, but also be prepared for responsible citizenship in the local and greater communities of which they will become a part.
