Responsibilities Of Citizenship “All men are created equal . . Does that sound familiar ? (We’ll give you a hint— the Declaration of Independence.) With cur¬ rent emphasis on science, there is a need of the balancing influence of a strong program in Social Studies. Therefore, at Woburn High School this year, Social Studies was required for all students from the ninth Mr. McNamara conducts a discussion on world affairs. Seated, L to R, Mr. Joseph F. Curran, Jr., Mr. James H. O’Donnell, Miss Geraldine A. Soles, Department Head, Miss Myrna D. Masse, Standing, L to R, Mr. Peter C. Varoutsos, Mr. James J. Foley, Mr. Paul through twelfth grades. The rapid and com¬ plex changes in our ways of living have made Social Studies very necessary to the educa¬ tion of our growing citizens who must seek to understand and contend with the prob¬ lems of society.

Among them are recording art¬ ists. Surprising? Not really. They are foreign language students who are making good use of the new language laboratory facilities. This laboratory was recently installed to reinforce the new approach to language teaching which emphasized speaking rather . Mary B. Starratt, Mr. Ernest J. Mazzone, Standing, Miss Joanna S.

Why, sets like these: (1,3,5,7) and (a,c,e,g). You see, the Math¬ ematics Department has introduced the School Mathematics Study Group Program which approaches the subject matter from a totally modern viewpoint, part of which is known as “set the ory.” This program is presently being offered to selected honors groups in Grade 9 Algebra and Grade 10 Geometry. Additionally, the honors mathe¬ matics programs in Grades 11 and 12, which were previously introduced, are continuing this year. So, if you are interested in learn¬ ing about the theory of sets, we proudly re¬ fer you to our Mathematics Department. Mr. Eugene Sweeney checks home¬ work. Mr. Horriean explains the narabula
