Discussing strategies for playing the mathematical game of "On Sets" are Mrs. Marc Ross and four Tappan Junior High students. David Sandalow and Clark Carrington are the students at left. Mark Plant is sitting on the desk. Next to him is Mary Beth Ogilvie. The Tappan students are among 15 junior-high pupils in the Ann Arbor Public Schools presently in training for the National Academic Games Olympics - a math tournament to be held April 24 to 26 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. At least five Ann Arbor students will compete. "On Sets" is a game about set theory and "new math", as can be seen from the symbols on the blackboard.

Basketball Booth At The Tappan Junior High School Benefit Carnival, February 1952
Year:
1952
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, February 22, 1952
Caption:
ALMOST A BASKET: The expressions on these Tappan Junior High students' faces indicate that the girl in the center almost shot a basket. The basketball booth was one of many games in Tappan's benefit carnival last night at the school. The net (at right), stretching down to the contestant, was placed so the basketball would roll back to the "shooter" for a return try. Proceeds of the penny carnival and refreshment and bake sale will be used to help buy a movie camera and bleachers for the school. Many pupils and parents attending the party came from as far as Hamburg.
