OF SIGNIFICANCE IN QUINCY SCHOOLS
A re-thinking of the program of studies at the junior high school level is involving teachers of all subject fields. With consultant help. an effort is being made to produce a better integrated and more realistic program for Quincy boys and girls.
Special attention is being given to the work in Language Arts.
The June 1953 combined Commencement represented an innovation in program. In place of the Com- mencement address, 573 graduating students participated in a dramatic and stirring presentation of Youth in America.
Announcement was made of a total of $35,702 worth of scholarship aid awarded to Quincy boys and girls in the 1953 graduating classes. This amount included 38 awards made by community organizations.
A series of half-day institutes for elementary teachers has helped to give Quincy's 21 elementary schools a uniformly well motivated and significant program. At a recent session devoted to the teaching of Arithmetic, the author of the basic text used in the Quincy schools was present to confer with teachers and principals.
Two university extension courses for teachers, started in the fall of 1953. have focused on the study of pupil failure and a revamping of elementary school report cards and record forms.
A long-awaited accomplishment to which final impetus and approval were given during 1953: The planning of a kindergarten set-up for Quincy.
Renovation of Central Junior High School has provided a modern cafeteria in the basement, and additional classrooms on the top floor. A new heating system, pupil lockers, and some new floors and paint help to make acceptable one of the oldest and probably the best known school building in Quincy.
"Government Day - Quincy Style" becomes a tradition. Eighth grade students from Civics classes in the four junior high schools and students from the Woodward School participate in a carefully planned program whereby students get close-ups of Quincy's municipal government in operation. De- partment heads and others cooperate to make the day an educational highlight.
In cooperation with the Quincy Chamber of Commerce, a new type of follow-up study of Quincy graduates has been initiated by the guidance department in the schools. Students in the Vocational Adjustment classes participate in the survey. The findings represent valuable material for classroom discussion.
WOODWARD SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
Woodward School for Girls celebrated its 59th anniversary of service to Quincy-born girls in 1953 by graduating a class of 10 seniors. It opened its 60th year in 1954 with a student body of 82.
- City of Quincy

Woodward was established through bequests from a former Quincy physician, Dr. Ebenezer Wood- ward, and his wife, Mary Ann Wroe Greenleaf Woodward, who left property as a trust for the City of Quiney to endow a school for girls born in this eity.
Woodward was opened in the Spring of 1894, 25 years after the death of Dr. Woodward. The first elass was graduated in 1896. During the last quarter of a century the school has been primarily college- preparatory: and Woodward graduates have entered many colleges and universities widely distributed over the country. Six out of seven graduates now go to colleges. nursing schools or other institutions of ad- vanced learning.
The course of study at Woodward covers grade. 7-12, including junior and senior high school years. Classes are small, with a ratio of one teacher for ninc students.
In 1953 Woodward became the recipient of the net income from the trust funds established by the deeds of Pres. John Adams and by bequest of Hon. Charles Francis Adams. This additional revenue, roughly offsetting the annual deficit experienced during the past few years, further insures the future of the school.
QUINCY CITY ELECTION, NOVEMBER 3, 1953
Councilors Amelio Della Chiesa, Edna B. Austin. David S. McIntosh, Alfred G. Helfich. David J. Crowley and Carl W. Anderson were reelected to the City Council in the biennial election on Novem- ber 3, 1953. Councilor Frank N. Orcutt, who had served for 16 years, lost his seat to Frank E. MacDonald. a career school teacher.
The election was the first municipal election held under the old plurality method in Quincy, in four years, the two previous elections having been conducted under the proportional representation form. All members of the council and seven competing candidates had been nominated at a preliminary clec- tion held earlier in the Fall.
Councilor Amelio Della Chiesa was elected mayor for 1954 and 1955 at the first meeting of the new council in 1954, succeeding Mayor MeIntosh. Councilor Austin was elected vice chairman of the coun- cil. the first woman to hold that position.
A. Wendell Clark. Dr. Joseph E. McDermott, Paul K. Duffey and Ethel B. Wiley were reelected to the School Committee. New members elected were Dr. Charles Djerf and Mrs. Alice Mitchell. Mr. Clark was reelected vice chairman at the organization meeting of the new board. Under the provisions of a ref- erendum enacted at the election. school committee terms were set at four years, with three members to be elected at each biennial election. To impliment the staggered system, three candidates securing the most votes in the 1953 election will serve four-year terms and the other three two-year terms.
