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.

When his course is completed he is equipped to handle the many sit¬ uations in which a good command of the language is de¬ manded. In the world of work he is capable of understanding business problems, analyzing them, and solving them by means of well-written and correctly spoken language. He is able to plan and organize business messages and has at his command a knowledge of the fundamental uses of business terminology. In the world of books he has been trained to recognize ambiguous words, uncover buried assumptions, draw reason¬ able conclusions, and make supportable generalizations. Through constant use of these analytical skills, he has ac¬ quired the discipline of critical thinking which ultimately makes him a better student, employee, and citizen.
