The first football meeting was held August twenty-ninth at the Senior High School. This meeting was attended by eighty-five boys. The first few days were devoted to organization, such as doctor examinations, giving out equipment, and lockers. Our first official practice took place on September first. Calisthenics, warm up, and conditioning exercises were scheduled for about a week followed by body contact work and dummy scrimmages. The 1949 record was as follows:

The Junior Varsity Football Team was coached by Mr. Joseph Fenton. Approxi- mately thirty-five boys reported for practice sessions and completed a five-game schedule. Record: Won 3, Lost 1, Tied 1.


Senior High School - Girls


This program under the supervision of Miss Erna Kiley included corrective exer- cises, apparatus, marching, dancing, hiking, games, and posture work.


The after-school athletic program consists of Archery, Basketball, and Tennis. About thirty-five girls reported for Archery this fall.


Basketball started the middle of November, and over one hundred girls reported for practice. A schedule of five games are played with neighboring towns. The intra- mural program was carried out at the end of the basketball season.


The 1949 Girls' Tennis season opened in March with some fifty girls reporting to Miss Johngren in the gymnasium. Instruction and practice continued here until warmer weather made the use of the courts possible. These had been put into excellent playing condition. Finally ten girls were selected to represent Norwood in matches with other schools. Norwood girls were happy to report a most successful season, winning all four matches: two with Braintree High School, one with Need- ham, and one with Wellesley.


Junior High School - Girls


The physical education program for girls, under the direction of Miss Ellen Gifford, included apparatus, marching, corrective exercises, dancing, hiking, games, and posture work.


An intensive after-school program is carried out, consisting of games such as tennis, tenniquoit, volley ball, softball, badminton, and basketball.


Junior High School - Boys


Under the supervision of Mr. John Dixon, the program at the Junior High School included calisthenics, gymnastics, marching, apparatus, health hints, group games, social dancing, and a sports club.


The Athletic program consists of the following: varsity basketball, varsity base- ball, intramural basketball, and intramural baseball. A carefully planned schedule of fourteen games is arranged for both basketball and baseball.


An excellent intramural program in basketball and baseball was carried out , with over one hundred and fifty boys participating.


Elementary Schools


No formal program by a Physical Education instructor is carried on in the ele- mentary schools. However, the classroom teacher practices daily health lessons and supervises a play program for these children.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


Health and Hygiene Education


Health education classes are organized in the sophomore classes for boys and girls while classes in hygiene are given weekly to senior high school boys and girls.


The general objectives of the health program are:


To improve the general condition of the individual so that he may function normally, may avoid disease, and may fit himself for his life work.


To develop the functional power of each individual consonant with his needs and capacities.


To develop in the pupils an interest in good body mechanics through self ap- praisal and group judgment.


To present to the pupils health instruction material that is progressive, scien- tific, social, and individualized.


Conclusion


I sincerely thank the Superintendent of Schools, School Committee, faculty, and physical education department for their splendid cooperation and assistance this past year in aiding me to realize the aims and objectives of our physical education program.


ORLANDO M. SCAFATI.


REPORT OF THE SUPERVISING SCHOOL NURSE


The annual report of the Health Department is herewith submitted.


After an absence of seven years, one is certain to have developed a new per- spective, albeit a keener and more critical one than results from the routine daily contacts. In these seven years it was my good fortune to have observed and par- ticipated in many phases of health in many countries. It is my sincere hope that such experiences may be used to advantage in my work in the Norwood Schools.


The school health program is definitely one of education and prevention with the school nurse serving as liaison officer to interpret its functions to the school, the home, and the community. It is a continued process of providing for the physical, mental, emotional, and social needs of the child.


Physical Examinations


The School Physicians, Drs. George R. Allen and Harriet F. Rogers, examined all of the children in the fall. Because of the more strenuous nature of the physical education classes in Junior and Senior High Schools physical examinations are started with these groups and continued down through the grades to the kinder- garteners.


To insure the safety and well being of the candidates for football, physical examinations were done on these boys before they were permitted to take part in any active scrimmaging on the field.


212


TOWN OF NORWOOD


Defects noted at the time of examinations were reported to the parents who in turn were advised to consult with their family doctors for any necessary treatment.


It is gratifying to note the improvement in the physical status of the children as a result of the joint cooperation of parents and family physicians in the corrections of these remedial defects. A few markedly enlarged and diseased tonsils are still to be found in the older age group.


Scoliosis is not uncommon in our teen age girls. Several severe cases are under the care of orthopedists. The slight cases of scoliosis have shown great improvement with corrective work under the direction of Miss Gifford in the Junior High School and Miss Kiley in the Senior High School.


- Dental Examinations


A dental examination was given to each child from kindergarten through grade twelve, by the School Dentist, Dr. Timothy J. Curtin. Parents were notified of the defects and urged to have the necessary dental care by their family dentist. In the event they were financially unable to secure the services of a private dentist they were advised to send the child to the School Dental Clinic where the work would be done at a minimal cost to the parent.


Considerable progress has been made to date in the promotion of good dental hygiene but there is still much to be accomplished in this field. We cannot urge the parents, teachers, and dentists too strongly to cooperate with us in this work. It is disconcerting and discouraging to find so many children who fail to brush their teeth. This is not a failing of the younger children alone, but is as commonly found in the teen age group.


With the advances being made in the field of dental research, we can hopefully look forward to a not too distant future when perhaps we too may enjoy the bene- fits of fluorine treatments and a dental hygienist to help with the prophylaxis work.


The ultimate aim of the dental program is to have each child in the school system have all necessary dental corrections completed each school year.


Vision Tests


The need for a complete ocular examination for each school child by a qualified ophthalmologist has long been recognized but until such time as a practical means can be found to make it possible, we must rely on some other device in school to screen out those in need of particular attention.


For this screening the Massachusetts Vision Test, developed after several years of research, is given. It tests for (1) visual acuity, (2) latent hypermetropia (far- sightedness), and (3) heterophoria (muscle imbalance) at distance and near vision.


The standards set for this test are high but the consensus of opinion is that it is better to err in the direction that a few are needlessly referred for examination than to overlook any who have a definite need for corrective work. All defects found are reported to the parent and an examination by an opthalmologist advised.


The School Eye Clinic is under the direction of Dr. Hugo B. C. Riemer. During the past year he has examined one hundred and seventy-four children and made recommendations for their individual needs.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


Communicable Disease Control 1


Almost daily we hear of some new discovery made in medical research to over- come and control disease. The immunization program is the result of such studies. For many years the inoculations of toxin-antitoxin have been given to the children in the susceptible age group with the result that the once common and dreaded diphtheria is a stranger in our community.


Other childhood diseases, mumps, chicken pox, measles, and whooping cough have been most prevalent both in the spring and in the latter months of the year. There have also been many cases of gastrointestinal disturbances during the fall months.


Since our preventive program depends largely upon reports of such diseases which we receive from the Board of Health, we ask the cooperation of parents in seeking the advice from their physicians and of the physicians in reporting such diseases to our local Board of Health. Such cooperation would enable us to check all contacts so that children showing symptoms of infections could be excluded before infecting others. All children returning to school after a communicable disease are required by law to have a certificate from the doctor.


The common cold is always with us and until such time as science finds a definite preventive and cure for it, it must be treated with proper respect. To that end, we endeavor to teach parents to keep the child at home, (1) to prevent the un- avoidable spread of the infection to others with whom he comes in contact, (2) to prevent him from picking up additional infection, and (3) because the majority of communicable diseases in their initial infectious and unrecognized state resemble the common cold.


As in previous years, chest X-rays were taken of all members of the twelfth grade in the Senior High School. No cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis were found as a result of these examinations.


Children who are contacts of tuberculosis are referred to the Norwood Visiting Nurse Association. The visiting nurse arranges for them to be taken to the Norfolk County Hospital in Braintree for their follow-up X-ray and examination.


Milk Lunch


The Woman's Club through the Norwood Community Chest Fund make it possible for some 97 children to have a milk lunch each day. Children who are able to provide their own milk also have an opportunity to have this mid-morning lunch.


Handicapped Children


For the physically handicapped child (one who might have a cardiac condition, rheumatic fever, polio, orthopedic surgery, etc.) unable to attend regular school sessions home tutoring is provided on request made by the attending physician. The number of children so tutored varies from month to month. The tutoring enables the child to keep pace with his classmates.


Habit and Guidance Clinics


Having known of the good work accomplished in the past when we had the facilities of the Habit and Guidance Clinics in the Norwood Hospital we find it difficult to help solve many problems without their assistance.


214


TOWN OF NORWOOD


There are clinics in Boston which could be used for this work, but the time con- sumed in reaching them by bus and trolley, the expense of this transportation, etc., present difficulties. Again enthusiasm for the service cools when waiting several weeks for an appointment.


Combined efforts on the part of all who are interested in the welfare of chil- dren, i. e., the community at large, P.T.A., Veterans' groups, Women's Club, Mothers' Club, Fraternal organizations, individual parents, teachers, and nurses could promote the reestablishment of such a clinic in our community. This would be an excellent project to be undertaken if the proposed Norwood Community Council is realized.


Conclusion


To all those within the school system and to our friends outside the school family, we of the Health Department extend our appreciation and thanks and sin- cerely hope that we may count on the same wholehearted cooperation in the future. We hope they will feel free to call upon us for any assistance we may be able to give them.
