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.

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

Buttons And Bows Miss Barbara A. Dunbury Coordinator of Home Economics Junior and Senior High Schools This year the brigade of happy home-makers could elect, for the first time, Home Economics as a full-time course. Many members of the Senior Class have taken courses in clothing instruction and fami¬ ly living. Most of the clothes made by these able girls have that “store-bought” air about them. The courses on family living centers itself around the young adult—her problems, her joys. The enthusi¬ asm these girls have shown indicates that Christian Dior may have competition in a few years. Miss Helen R. Sheeran, Librarian Miss Anastasia G. Canty, Assistant Miss Dunbury demonstrates the correct method of threading a machine. Library Rotates Most likely, there aren’t any people who have ever heard of a library that rotates. Ours does; that is, it rotates its classes. Al¬ most every period of every day a different English class or, occasionally, another class is using the library. This is done not only to ascertain that every student knows how to use the library, but also to reveal to all stu¬ dents the wonderful learning contained in this one, significant room. Indeed, the library does rotate, and small wonder that so many profit by its constant activity!
