Everywhere You Go, Everyone ■V-.v .-.v. -.-.V.-.-AV. .V.V.V.V.-. The palm trees, adding beauty and majesty to the campus, stretch regally up to the clear blue skies. They are constant reminders of the ideal climate which Titans enjoy throughout the school year. Arcadia High School was built and opened for use four years ago. At that time the Class of 1963 enrolled as freshmen, and Arcadia's history officially began. In 1963 those same freshmen were seniors, and they became the first graduating class at Ar- cadia High to have gone all four years here. Although there will be many, many other graduating classes at Arcadia, the Class of '63 is something special, and to them and their achievements we dedicate this book. Led by outstanding Stu- dent Body officers in their senior year, the Class of 1963 made their presence felt in every school activity; leading the way for the underclassmen. Perhaps, twenty years from now, if the Class of '63 has a reunion, they can look back on this book that com- memorates their years at Arcadia and re- member the good times, the achievements, and the friendships that they found here. If you want to know how to wrap a goal post, just ask a senior! From left: Marty Williams, Dave Dreblow, Charlotte Schilling, Marcia Harrington, Mike Smith, Betsy Hodges, and sitting on the goal post is Chuck Butler. 8ut, you may be sure that wrapping the goal posts wasn't the only project of the senior class!

L Played Hard, and Came Out on Top Sitting, standing, studying under the library. The cool shadiness and the many tables under the library provide an ideal place for students to congregate. During both lunch hours you can't even see across the circle because there are so many people standing under the library. Posters, painted by various organizations and classes did a lot to boost school spirit’. The newest class at Arcadia, the freshmen, did their share of the work, and really got into the high school spirit. Pictured here: Tibby Jones. Kirk Williams. Tom Cooley, and Grove Green, try their hand at a little sign painting. 3

Knows, the Big A Means Arcadia CAMELBACK Mountain shadows the BIG A, and provides the background for this unusually different school as nothing else could. Arcadia's circular architecture has been a topic of discussion from coast to coast, and people have come from miles around to see it. The BIG A is also noted for its modern classrooms and facilities. Give me an AM yell the cheerleaders, and the crowd responds with an ear-splitting roar— AAA . School spirit that was displayed at all sports events carried over into every phase of school activity. Students enthusiastically plunged into all projects of the 1962-63 school year with a zeal that earned Arcadia the title of the BIG A. Yes, Arcadia was big in everything its students participated in this year and everyone knew it. Students who attended Arcadia notic- ably grew a few inches as the reputation and prowess of the BIG A spread. Rated among the top schools in scholastics, sports, and the fine arts, Arcadians were caught up in the spirit of achievement, and swept along to an enviable record of success. In a word, it was a BIG year. JUST a few more buckets of cement and they could've filled the whole place in! was the cryptic comment of one teacher as he looked out over the maze of sidewalks that crisscross the Arcadia campus. The pattern they make suggests a modern painting.
