Timothy F. Ring Guidance Director New Counselors Help to Improve Service The addition of two new counselors to the Guidance Department this year, Miss Mary Murray and Mr. Stephen Calabro, has reduced the ratio of students to coun¬ selors to four hundred to one. Therefore, the department is able to hold more inter¬ views and to improve services. A guidance workshop was held in October for all junior and senior high school teachers. Major developments in the field were discussed, and important methods and ideas were explored for dealing more effectively with student problems. During the week of mid-year examinations, the Guidance Office administered a test to each class. These tests measured such skills as reading comprehension and mental ability, and gave information regarding students’ occupational interests and aptitudes. From the results of tests such as these, students can be directed toward courses best suited to their needs and capabilities with the hope that pupils’ frustrations will be reduced and their accomplishments increased.

The biology program at Woburn High School has ex¬ panded over the past several years. The courses offered are designed to meet the diversified needs and capabilities of the student body. The three major areas of study are: Ad¬ vanced Placement Biology, College Preparatory Biology and General Biology. The Advanced Placement Course, which is equivalent to a freshman college course, enables the student to fulfill his college requirement, thereby broadening his subject selection in college. The College Preparatory Course provides the necessary college admission credits or units. It gives the background needed for College Achievement Tests and continued study in the field. The General Biology program is designed to familiarize the student with the basic concepts of biology that can be applied to everyday life.
