For business-oriented students, at¬ tention is focused on letter writing, reports, and the many essentials so necessary to achieve success in the business world today. Mr. Paul Murphy, chairman, states that this year the En¬ glish department is also working to improve the Theme Writing Program so that students will be able to write on a given topic with clearness, depth, and intelligence; there¬ fore, a Theme Corrector Program has been instituted for college preparatory classes in grades nine through twelve. Practice in the varied types of writing for business and college preparatory groups will be profitable in future years; no matter what field of endeavor the pupil pursues, the basic skill of writing is of the utmost importance. Miss Dunsford reflects upon a question asked by one of her students. 18

In addition to the general biology and traditional biology programs, the department is now offering the B.S.C.S. Biology course, as well as Advanced Placement Biology for second year students. Such revisions have been developed to aid the prospec¬ tive student of biology in obtaining more lab experience and a solid background. These new programs, complemented by the addition of new faculty members, will make it possible for the Biology Department to achieve outstanding goals in the not-too-distant future. Mike Kramer seems to be engrossed in his lab work. Mr. Freeley instructs his Biology class.

Librarian Chairman — Future Teachers LIBRARY SUPPLEMENTS CLASSWORK Our new library at Woburn High School is an impressive example of the quality of achievement that is present in the entire school. It is a pleasure to do work in the sunlit reading room, the well- equipped reference room, and the two private conference rooms. This environment greatly benefits all the students. Presently, the spacious library is being stocked with new books, magazines, and various types of reference materials. This is all being done under the supervision of Miss Sheeran, our librarian. Of course, a library’s main purpose is to have these types of ma¬ terials available to all who desire them. Our library program also tries to acquaint the students with the correct use of the library and its facilities. This knowledge will be of great value to everyone in future years of pleasure and education.
