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.

Woburn High Seeks Moving Vans Calling all moving vans! Woburn High desperately needs transportation for the scientific apparatus and supplies to be taken to the “new building,” which will be the home of the Science Department in Septem¬ ber. Upon completion, the addition to the high school will have science laboratories stocked Diagraming an ameba. with some of the newest facilities. Over the years, the Science Department has accumu¬ lated a large quantity of chemicals, biologi¬ cal specimens, and physics apparatus; but, at present, this department lacks adequate facilities for using these supplies as well as might be desired. Maybe they should rent a freight train! Mrs. Loguidice explains skeletal development. Seated, L to R, Mr. Frank Loguidice, Mrs. Sheila J.
