L Recent developments in the fields of instruction in mathematics and science have resulted in changes in curricular structure as well as course content in these areas. We now offer four years of mathematics beyond Algebra l, and a four-year science program beyond General Science. Though these sequences allow for advanced studies, they are not now organized along the lines of the formal Advanced Placement Service. The new struc- ture provides to pupils with special abilities and interests in the fields of Mathematics and Science, opportunities for advanced or concentrated study in the secondary program. The traditional sequences, with interest modified in the light of recent changes, are still offered in the regular preparation for the terminal pupils. Mr. John Hayes Miss Elaine F.

Ed., Salem Teachers Collegeg Trackg Sharon Faculty: 7 years. Through the subjects studied in sequence in the Commercial Department, pupils are given an opportunity to develop marketable skills. Vocational competence is an important aim in typewriting, stenogrophy, book- keeping, and their allied subjects. Instruction in industrial arts and related subjects, such os mechanical drawing and shop math, is intended to develop a knowledge of, and skills in, the use ot machine tools in woodworking and metal working. The development of this competence is intended to have a vocational, as well as an ovocational, value. The courses in home economics provide an oppor- tunity for the girls to develop skills in the preparation and serving of foods, and competence in the various areas of sewing.

I Z Fall--the startof the school year, election of new club officers, senior play, soccer games. These are a few ofthe activities which stand out in the fall calen- dar. Everyone, bursting with enthusiasm, is anxious to take part in at least one of the fall activities, which, in no time, are moving along at a rapid pace. Senior play rehearsals and Marsengold staff meetings have top priority on the afternoon hours of many seniors. At the same time, the Eagle staff is working hard to make sure that the first edition of the school news- paper is the best yet. Meanwhile, the library staff is busy organizing its roster of assistants to work at the charge desk. As some students are industriously working inside the school, outside, a large percentage of the boys are withstanding exhaustive exercises in the hope that they may be chosen for the soccer team. Thus, while the soccer season and the production of the senior play are the high lights of the fall sea- son, it is also the period of organization and prepara- tion of ground work for the later events in many groups.
