Bond lyme of 33.7 Million Parser! by 70.2 Per Cent Majorzty Principal Arthur H. North talks informally about school activi- ties with students Suzie Edmiston and Dean Pederson. COMPLETING HIS TWELFTH YEAR as District Personnel Director, Donald D. Hughes has been responsible for the selection and recommendation of all district employees to the superintendent and the Board of Education. Also under Mr. Hughes' direction has been the recommendation of personnel standards and retention of district employees, numbering ap- proximately 600. As the president of the Arcadia Teachers Association, Mrs. Florence Montague, teacher at Camino Grove School, has competently coordi- nated all projects undertaken by the local pro- fessional organization. The A.T.A. is concerned with the welfare of all school children and stresses the importance of good teaching techniques. Certain commit- tees of the association have also been respon- sible for the recommendation of actions on various professional matters and the promotion of teacher interest. i2 IN ITS THIRD YEAR as a three year high school, Arcadia began to build toward an over-crowded condition. The campus was designed to accom- modate 2,200, and early in the year, more than 2,333 students were in attendance. Due to this condition, one that prevailed over the entire district, the Board of Education deter- mined the amount of a bond issue that would provide for needed facilities. The election was held on Oct. l5, with the issue passing a 70.207, majority. Out of the total 53,750,000 alloted for build- ing and site needs through the T967-68 school year, Arcadia High School was a I I o ca t e d 5873496 for the addition of T2 classrooms, library, an art room, 2 Business Education rooms, Mechanical Drawing room, shower and locker additions and a lunch shelter. Construction of these new facilities will begin as soon as funds are available and plans are completed, approximately April I, l964. Last year, the major concern of the Board of Trustees was to analyze the growth patterns of the city, trying to find a way to relieve the mounting problems of an over-crowding through- out the District. In addition, they have continued their overall policy making for the operation of the entire District. Mrs. Florence Montague, president of the Arcadia Teachers Association discusses the year's A.T.A. projects with Donald D. Hughes, District Personnel Director
