REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
The Senior High School Building Committee report that the school was ready for occupancy in September, 1926 as planned. It has housed a maximum of 478 pupils. On the estimated school attendance its general facilities should adequately house the High School for several years and its present classrooms were designed to provide facilities for up to 650 pupils.
The Town has appropriated $542,000 for the erection and equipment of the building, the grading of the lot and the construction of the athletic field and playgrounds. At the close of the calendar year there had been expended $499,075.31. The grading and seeding of the school lot and the athletic field were carried over till Spring in order that the rough grading might settle during the winter months. This is the only item of importance for the committee to complete before rendering its final report.
Recreation and playgrounds are now regarded as a part of the school equipment. Included in the report is a cut showing the athletic and playgrounds the school lot is planned to provide, and the extensions which may be added to the building. The Town is now familiar with the ap- pearance of the building. A cut is also given to show the appearance of the building when additions and the second wing are built.
Attached are letters from some who have been in a position to see the plant in operation and judge its adequacy as a school home.
Mr. Arthur W. Coolidge, Chairman,
School Building Commission, Norwood, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
I have recently made a complete inspection of the new high school build- ing while in operation and herewith submit the following statement:
You will recall that the original plan for the building was based upon a definite program of studies for the Senior High School. This program aimed to carry out the objectives of modern education in a practical manner. The plan called for a well balanced curriculum and a schedule of administration which was thoroughly progressive and forward looking. This ideal has been carried out in a most satisfactory manner. The building is unique in design and stands out in a class of its own in com- parison with other school buildings. The citizens of Norwood have reason to be proud of this achievement.
May I take this occasion to call your attention to the fact that the present building is not complete according to the original plan of a bal- anced program of studies. By this statement I mean that the completed plan calls for an auditorium and music department. Until the complete plans are carried out there will be some loss of educational opportunities and some difficulties in the administration of the school.
307
An auditorium in which the regular assembly of the entire sehool may be held is the very heart of the school. It is here that the development of right school spirit and morale is eentered. It is here also that the regular work in publie speaking, dramaties, musie, and pupil activities ean best be earried on.
At present the gymnasium is used for these several purposes in a very limited and unsatisfactory manner. The gymnasium does not adapt itself to these activities and it also interferes with the full and proper use of the equipment.
At the earliest possible moment these facilities should be provided. Then the ideals upon which the present building plans were made will be fully realized.
As the building now stands it is well equipped, splendidly administered and very satisfactorily serves the purpose for which it was built. I am certain that the futre will prove the wisdom with which you have planned and built.
Respectfully yours, JESSE B. DAVIS.
Mr. Arthur W. Coolidge,
28 Summer Street,
Boston, Massachusetts.
Dear Mr. Coolidge:
I am pleased to reply to your letter of Mareh 3 relative to the question of how the new high school building meets requirements.
We feel that practically every sehool need has been met, and admirably so in our new building. When I say we, I refer not only to those eonneeted with my office, but to all teachers and pupils who have had the pleasure and privilege of working and studying here. If I should take space to go in detail through the list of things which we so greatly appreciate, I would require more space in your report than you would eare to give me. One thing in particular which I would mention above all others is the general plan of the building in making allowanees for the academie studies to be grouped in one seetion and the activities which may inelude noise, or work of special departmental features in another practically separate plant. The advantage of this plan at onee asserted itself, and I find that it is the first thing commented favorably upon by our visitors who are experienced in educational lines.
The splendid features such as the individual loekers for the boys and girls, the school library, the gymnasia with their dressing room equip- ment and shower baths, the spacious lunch room and the fine equipment for the speeial departments are a few, only, of the things which have so adequately given Norwood a real high school building, and one which is rightly marveled at by men in educational work who come here from other towns to see what we have done.
30
I have found that the plan which we decided upon for administration can be almost completely worked out with the exception of the assembly features and facilities for work in music. These, of course, will come, and in the meantime, we are doing the best possible with our gymnasia for such purposes. We are operating a twenty-five period week, all periods being sixty minutes in length with the plan of direct learning and accomplish- ment work as a basis for measure of ability and student endeavor.
I will be glad to welcome members of the building committee at any time for the purpose of looking into the administration of the building and assure you that we are trying to make the best possible use of the plant and the facilities installed.
Cordially yours, L. W. GRANT, Principal Senior High School.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR W. COOLIDGE, Chairman, FREDERICK A. CLEVELAND, FRANCIS J. FOLEY, CHARLES E. HOUGHTON,
HERBERT H. MILLER.
