Math Department Makes More Course: Louis W. Ciarfella St. Anselm's College—A.B. Assistant Football Coach G.B.L Track Official Josephine T. Walciak Salem State College—B.S. Michael Grossman Tufts University—B.S. Yale University—M.A. Frances K. Parris Wheaton College—A.B. Boston University—M.A. Advanced Mathematics has reached a new peak under the supervision of Miss Frances K. Parris. Twenty Juniors were able to take cither Trigonometry or Elementary Functions, while one senior completed Calculus. A film entitled, Is Engineering For You? was shown to students interested in the field of engineering. A mathematics professor from the National Science Foundation also presented a lecture. On October 26, 1966, Math Department Heads and Directors of Math programs from eight local cities met in the Teacher's lounge, with Miss Parris as Chairman, to discuss the curricula for the year.

Laboratory Experimentation Gives Profession; Florence K. Parker Boston University—B.S. Susan Pescatore Emmanuel College—A.B. Howard W. Milke Johns Hopkins University—B.E. Worcester Polytechnic—M.N.S. Junior Class Financial Adviser Robert W. Perry Worcester Polytech—B.S.; Columbia U.—M.A. Senior Class Master Curriculum Co-ordinator One of the most striking additions to the High School this year was the new Physical Science Lab, a double room on the third floor which housed both a classroom and a lab, and which could accommodate thirty students. It was the first of our labs to be equipped with the three essential units: electricity, gas and water. The lab was constructed so that six classes could learn the basic principles of science through experimentation similar to that performed by scientists. A new trend was also introduced in the Biology courses. Traditional memorization of facts and names was reduced to a minimum, and the understanding of concepts received the stress in the course. A new text. High School Biology, a product of many biologists and teachers, furthered the aims of the course. The book was accompanied by a manual containing laboratory and field experiments, showing the .importance of experimentation and inquiry in this new program. The Meteorology classes maintained weather flags and other equipment on the roof of the school, and other projects have been continued in an effort to acquaint the students of the courses with the workings of science. To accomplish these ends, Mr. Robert W. Perry, Head of the department, stated that the major goal of his department was to allow the greatest number of students access to the several labs any afternoon. Elliott R.
