MATHEMATICS The Math department offers courses on all levels from Algebra I through Calculus, and provides a review course for interested juniors as well as a CEEB review course for those planning to take the college board exams in Math. To allow students more flexibility in planning their schedules, many courses, such as the CEEB review, Trigonometry, and an elective on statistics introduced last year, are half-year courses. Students receive practical math from these programs while at the same time they are learning to see Mathe- matics from a theoretical viewpoint and appreciate it as a science. The Math department tries to give the individual student all the math background he needs, whether he will go on to be a math major in college or simply the average citizen juggling figures on his income tax form.

The English department of Stoneham High is con- cerned with helping students cope with a multi- media world by teaching them to communicate through the written and spoken word. This year, as in the past, basic skills, such as reading comprehension and writing were emphasized while proficiency at verbal communication was developed through class discussions and oral reports. The fourth quarter elective program begun last year for sophomores and juniors was continued, with the addition of new courses giving an even greater variety to the wide range of electives already estab- lished. The seniors, with a wide variety of half-year courses offered, enjoyed studying electives reflecting their own interests. , ..,. .
