In the early summer, Miss Margaret Nicholson, a teacher in the Norwood Schools since 1931, passed away after a brief illness. To the many pupils and faculty members who knew her over the years, Miss Nicholson was not only a capable teacher, but a sympathetic and understanding friend. Her passing was another distinct loss to the English Department and to the school.
On July 30, 1948, Miss Catherine A. Coleman was appointed to the English Department. Miss Coleman came to us after twenty years teaching experience at Brockton High School. Miss Elizabeth O'Sullivan, a teacher in our English Department since 1931, was raised to the Headship of that department on August 18, 1948. Shortly thereafter, Mr. John J. Flaherty was appointed to replace Miss Nicholson. Mr. Flaherty had taught previously at the Henry Ford Wayside Inn School at South Sudbury and in the high school at Litchfield, Connecticut.
Miss Grace C. McGonagle in the early spring had asked the School Committee to be relieved of her duties as School Treasurer-effective at the close of school in June, and on July 14, 1948, Mr. John B. Kelley was appointed School Treasurer in addition to his regular teaching assignment. Miss McGonagle's many years of service as School Treasurer are deeply appreciated. She continues her faculty membership as Head of the Business Department.
On November 17, 1948, Mr. William C. Hagblom was appointed hockey coach to replace Mr. Peter Amirault who because of conflicting business interests was unable to continue his service in this capacity.
In Prospect
The importance of reading ability and its susceptibility to improvement have already been mentioned. During the coming year, a program in remedial reading should be undertaken at the Senior High School. If the results attained through such a program are to be commensurate with the value of the skill sought, the program should make provision for small special classes and for specially trained experienced personnel.
Attention should also be given to the school library. When the High School was built, the beautiful physical facilities provided for a library were a source of particular pride to citizens interested in the school. It is to be regretted that appar-

ently the library has never approached the educational value which was its early promise. In the modern high school, there is no substitute for an ample school library with a professionally trained experienced school librarian. The Senior High School Library is definitely inadequate, and steps should be taken as soon as possible to bring this phase of the school up to top standards.
During the coming year, further improvement could be effected in our assembly program if the School Department were to underwrite the cost of our paid assem- blies-a charge now financed entirely by student contributions. Several of these special assemblies of definite educational merit had to be omitted during the year because of the inadequacy of student funds.
In addition, a permanent portable stage and blackout facilities to permit the use of instructional motion pictures would further multiply the educational value of this activity.
It is difficult to overestimate the tremendous value in motivation and integration which can accrue to the High School student who has been successfully guided to give serious thought to his vocational tomorrow. To produce this desirable out- ยท come, the modern school increasingly stresses in all its classes the importance of occupational consideration and, in all its classes, the occupational significance of all its learning experiences. During the coming spring, it is planned to hold a career day at the Senior High School in order to underline still further the import- ance of at least tentative occupational choice and to supplement still further the occupational information upon which this tentative choice is made. Career Day will be under the immediate direction and supervision of our Guidance Depart- ment. On this occasion, some twenty representatives of various occupations will speak in the School-each guest meeting with groups of students who have previ- ously signified an interest in the particular occupation represented. It is planned to so schedule these conferences that a student may be able by attending three different meetings to obtain the latest occupational information on the three occupa- tional fields in which he or she personally is most interested.
Also planned for the coming year is an activity sometimes called a Parents' Night. Activities of this type have as their principal objective the establishmnet of a closer relationship between the school and the home with consequent improvement in school accomplishment. Indeed it is believed that the school cannot hope to reach that level of social contribution of which it is potentially capable without the support" of a community which is both interested in and well informed with regard to what the school is doing and what it aims to do.
Fathers and Mothers will be invited to visit the school on Parents' Night to follow through the individual programs of their sons and daughters, to meet their teachers and to learn at first hand the objectives and growth experiences provided for them in their various classes.
Accordingly, it is hoped that all parents and many other interested citizens will come to the Senior High School on the occasion of Parents' Night and that this activity may prove to be an effective step towards bringing about a fuller recogni- tion by the community of the modern comprehensive high school as a vitally import- ant and valuable agent of society, building for a better tomorrow for all the children of all the people.

Arise ! Arise ! All nations of the earth. Arise ! Arise ! All nations of the earth. Tho' times are filled with shadows dark And hearts of men are sore beset,
You must not falter now.
The answers are not found in arms alone.
Rome fell and many more that put their trust in might.
Then raise your hearts, Oh fellowmen,
To Him in whom you can place trust.
The God of peace ! The God of peace !
Arise ! Arise ! All nations of the earth.
Arise ! Arise ! All nations of the earth. Tho' times are filled with shadows dark And hearts of men are sore beset,
Arise all Nations and seek thy peace, Through Him who rules by love -- The Lord of lords, the Lord of lords,
The King of Kings, the Way, the Truth, the Light !

REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE HENRY O. PEABODY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
I hereby submit the seventh annual report of the Henry O. Peabody School for Girls.
We again finish a very full and interesting year which can be treated only briefly in a report of this nature. The school enrollment has remained fairly con- stant throughout the year, fluctuating as students leave to go to work and new members enter. There is increased interest in the school on the part of non-residents, post-graduates and students who wish to take short-unit courses. I believe there is a growing conviction of the worth of our program and a better understanding of the objectives of vocational education.
All present course offerings are well established and have, so far, proved effective. I feel the school is now ready for expansion, but new offerings must be evaluated in the light of employment possibilities and costs of new building.
Each student of the Peabody. School is given individual consideration in the planning of her program. Most students have already selected their courses before entering the school-others require vocational guidance and many require personal guidance. Our vocational objective is to train for profitable employment. Our total objective includes the development of wholesome attitudes toward home, work, and civic life. The School is attractive, and its atmosphere is pleasant. Emphasis is given to the appreciation of beauty and general cultural influences, all of which contribute to a happier and fuller life.
The following is taken from the annual report to the Superintendent of Schools from the State Department of Vocational Education : "The School has had another successful year offering an effective trade-education program, maintaining high standards and securing satisfactory related employment for its graduates."
CERTIFICATES
This year, certificates were granted to all graduates of the Henry O. Peabody School for Girls. Being a new school, established in war years, it has taken some time to acquire a sufficient number of graduates to have a certificate designed and engraved which we felt would be appropriate. Thoughtful consideration was necessary to determine the standards upon which the certificates should be granted. The faculty, Superintendent of Schools and the Norwood School Committee decided to award two types of certificates :
1. A Certificate of Proficiency which is earned and awarded on the basis of the high standard of work accomplished by the graduate in the senior year of schooling, following recommendations made by the faculty of the school.
2. A certificate which is awarded to those who have completed the course in which they were enrolled but who have not met the above standards for the proficiency certificate.

Public relations are very important in developing a school of this kind. Every effort is made to invite parents and prospective students to the School whenever possible. Our annual Open House and Parents' Teas attract large numbers and the Tea Room when opened to the public also furthers a very pleasant relationship. Each year Vocational Days are conducted when ninth grade pupils are invited with their guidance teachers to spend a day at the School. The Director and sev- eral of the faculty this year have addressed education groups, service clubs, women's clubs in Norwood and surrounding towns.
In March, a joint Parent-Teacher Association meeting was sponsored by the P. T. A. of the Norwood Junior High School and the faculty of the Henry O. Peabody School for Girls. A program was arranged which enabled each group

to witness a typical day in all trade and academic classes. A discussion and social hour was held at the close of the evening. Refreshments were prepared and served by the Catering Department.
Alumnae Association
On November 30, seventy-five graduates held an evening meeting at the school for the purpose of organizing the Alumnae Association of the Henry O. Peabody School for Girls. It was a very enthusiastic group and showed a fine carry-over of school spirit which, if encouraged, will exert a very strong influence on the future of the school.
The following officers were elected and the date set for the next meeting :
