Hall, the Mathematics Department is rapidly continuing to achieve its goal — the meeting of the common and specialized needs of the students on both the col¬ lege preparatory and the general levels. Through the correlation of all phases of mathematics, the students are provided with the most comprehensive back¬ ground possible. The current stress on the understanding of basic mathematics is aimed at equipping students with the knowledge necessary to succeed in our scien¬ tifically minded world. An Advance Placement Course, scheduled for the fore¬ seeable future, will be another tool with which to acquire this knowledge. Woburn High School ' s students are certain to find some of the pathways of life easier to travel because they have achieved the necessary math skills. 23

This department, which is located on the second floor of the Soph¬ omore House, offers many courses that are essential to business trainees, such as economics, stenography, typing, and office ma¬ chines. Miss Lynch, after investigating the electronic data processing pro¬ grams currently being used in business, has inaugurated a simulat¬ ed key punch course as part of the Office Machines program. Actu¬ ally, within the past few years, she has successfully revamped the curriculum to include majors in three different areas of office work: bookkeeping, general office work, and stenography. The Business Education Department also offers an elective in personal typing for the interested student. After graduation from Woburn High School, the Business Educa¬ tion students are well-equipped to cope with and to succeed in the world of business. Miss Badger offers her assistance with a difficult problem.

Home Economics Coordinator — Senior-Junior High Schools Hi-Teen Fashion Club Senior Play JOYCE WALES University of British Columbia B.S. Hi-Teen Fashion Club HOME ECONOMICS COURSES ARE IN DEMAND Today the Home Economics courses at Woburn High School include much more than the usual clothes construction and cooking lessons. The various subjects covered are personality development, family life, and child care. Class discussion periods help students achieve an un¬ derstanding of their present and future positions in life. A period of renovation has taken place; consequently, the department area has more than doubled in size. New kitchen units and a living area have been added; also, the spacious sewing rooms accommodate many more students. This course has greatly increased in popularity, as evidenced by the large number of girls taking part in it. Training of this type will always be of great use to every girl regardless of her future occupation. Donna displays her sewing skills. Miss Dunbury’s students are hard at work.
