Junior Assistants Benefit Students And Teachers Teachers needing papers typed or supplementary ma¬ terials prepared and mimeographed, welcome the efforts of the Junior Assistant’s Club, a service made up of compe¬ tent junior girls in the Business Education course, whose purpose is to assist teachers with typing, duplicating, and riling. The club has been beneficial to the teachers, by helping to decrease the ever-present paper work, and beneficial to the students, by providing added training in the funda¬ mentals necessary for success in the business world.

Program In this first year of the Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, the Drill Team was conspicuous for its precision. This select group of twenty boys spent many afternoons preparing for the numerous activities in which they participated. Members learned the basics of Close Order Drill, and in striving for perfection, at¬ tained the satisfaction that accompanies mastery of complex skills. Under the leadership of the Naval Science faculty, and the direct leadership of Cadets Robert Mann and Robert Carroll, the Drill Team marched in the Veter¬ ans’ Day Parade and performed at the Thanksgiving Dav football game at Winchester. In a year of many highlights, one that will remain memorable was the visit to the cruiser U.S.S. Boston at the Boston Naval Ship¬ yard, a visit that gave the team a view of the modern navy. NAVAL concert includes a rock singer. Front Row—Jeffrey Harrison, Daniel Carrigan, Robert Perry, Keith Lajoie, Robert C. Johnson, Barry Fenton.

Numerous Trips Provide Cultural Enrichment For The Art Guild. The Art Guild, under the direction of Mr. Frank Newark and Mr. Theodore Johnson, enabled students to enrich their knowledge and ap¬ preciation of art by visiting museums and exhibits throughout the year. The Guild took its annual trip to the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Mass. Trips to other museums were made whenever possible. This year, as in years past, members of the Guild helped to design and paint the scenery for the Three-One-Act-Plavs. The last project of the year was the presentation of the Annual Spring Art Exhibition, in which the students displayed their artistic talents to an appreciative and enthusiastic public.

Focus On World Problems Formed to provide its members with a better understanding of the world in which we live, the International Relations Club focuses attention on the problems con¬ fronting the many and varied societies that make up the world community. This year the members of the club attended a day-long seminar at Reading High School which was attended by representatives of over fifty high schools from all over New England. Guest speakers included representatives from the State Depart¬ ment, the Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America, and the assistant to roving American Ambassador Averill Harriman. Pertinent questioning after each presenta¬ tion aided the members in clarifying their concepts of the problems facing our country. Math Team Has Successful Second Year Since 1967 was a successful year for the Math Team, Woburn High was advanced to a higher division in the Massachusetts Mathematics League. Despite the more intense competition, the ten members of the team aid extremely well at their monthly meets. The four seniors, four jun¬ iors, and two sophomores were able not only to test their mathematical abilities in competition with nine other schools, but also to socialize with the other students. Meeting after school many times during the we ek in preparation for the contests gave the members valuable practice which culminated in many individual and team honors.
