P 4. 445 'ww daily grade slips to all students in small classes emphasizing individual education -...M lVinchendon's academic program is unique in secondary education. Dedicated to the concept that most boys in the right atmosphere can attain bet- ter academic results, the school works closely with the boy who desir-es to add to his academic stature or to realize his full academic potential. To attain these ends, Wlinchendon olgfers a carefully super- vised program of individual instruction. Every boy receives his grades from his housemaster during evening study hall. Thus students and faculty know from day to day what progress is being made and where more emphasis is required. Classes, which offer only standard secondary school col- lege preparatory subjects, are normally limited to five pupils, Wlhenever necessary, a boy, desiring a review of a preceding year's work before tackling the advanced work. may take a combination of both years as a single full year course--but only if he is able to do it. Each evening a half hour is set aside for individual tutoring if a boy needs assist- ance in doing his assignments. The boy who wants to make more efficient use of his talent and ability will, therefore, rind at lVinchendon a rea- listic approach to education. Nineteen

Precision logic and law equally stressed by math and science The college-bound student today vitally needs training in both math and science, and Winchen- don is doing its best to meet this need. Every stu- dent is required to study two years of algebra, one of geometry and preferably one of trigonometry or advanced math. The Science Department, though limited at the present in the space available for laboratories, has made definite progress in equip- ping the labs for its General Science, Eiology, Chemistry and Physics courses. Both departments, striving to prepare a young man for a possible career in mathematics or science, give special atten- tion to the precision, logic and law which are so necessary to the scientific world of 1964. MR. ADAMS gives Chuck Homer some extra help in his algebra homework while Rick Cardamone Kabovej works out a geometry problem at the blackboard for Miss Shortlidge.
