New to Roosevelt is a city wide program in mathematics entitled School Mathematics Study Program. Taught by Mr. Russel Abraham and Mrs. Iacquline Duncan, three classes of SMSG Algebra and two 'of SMSG Geometry were offered this year. Students enrolled in this program take Algebra I in the eighth grade, Geometry in the ninth grade, Algebra II in the tenth grade, and Senior Math I and II CTrigonometry, Analytic Geometry, and Advanced Algebral in the eleventh grade. At the end of the junior year, students have completed the regular four year math program and can take an additional year of math. The course offering in Senior Math III and IV is up to the teacher and students. The usual program is Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry I, and Senior Math.

For the more advanced student who desires to explore the regions of science that lie beyond the scope of the regular study, there are educational enrichment studies. Such a course is advanced biology class under the direc- tion of Miss Keats. A college text is used for greater depth of understanding. Laboratory exercises are included in connection with text discussion. Evaluation is similar to college evaluation, using essay tests. The new biology course emphasizes the problem solving approach to learning. Requirements for the course are an A or B in first year biology and sincere interest in advanced study. A course new to the department this year is applied sci- ence. Mr. Sheehy and his students designed and constructed a planetarium which measures 15 feet in diameter and 20 feet in height.
