There are 28 students now at Peabody School who may qualify for a Norwood Senior High School diploma in June. There are also five students listed as juniors in Table I who are of mid-junior status and who may graduate in June 1954. Hence the number of candidates for graduation in June 1954 will be in the neigh- borhood of 192. This figure may be compared with 175 graduates in June 1953. Furthermore a comparison of Tables I and II indicates that in October 1954 there will be about 31 more pupils in the school than in October 1953.
Instruction in Spanish
During the year, Spanish for the first time was specifically characterized in our program of studies as an elective limited to the general and business courses. Spanish was dropped from the college preparatory curriculum. For several years the matter of providing for the increasing spread in the language abilities of those who were electing Spanish has been a source of concern to us all. On the one hand it was realized that if Spanish were to be geared completely to the college preparatory level, the subject would lose its appeal for a considerable number of non-college students - many of whom would inevitably fall by the wayside. If, on the other hand, college preparatory students were to be permitted to take Spanish of other than college preparatory caliber with the expectation of presenting the subject for college entrance examination, the school could grant such permission only with decreasing confidence in the adequacy of the preparation.
In the face of this dilemma, it was decided to consider Spanish as essentially a non-college preparatory subject in the interest of the non-college majority; for the minority of college preparatory students who might otherwise be enrolled in the subject, unusually strong college preparatory language courses are available in both French and Latin.
Change in Scholarship Rules
A new and more equitable arrangement was made with regard to scholarships administered by the High School Scholarship Board. No longer will an alternate have to wait for two years to qualify for a scholarship which is inactive. Under the changed procedure, a scholarship which cannot be paid within eight months of graduation because the nominee has not entered upon post-high school training will be paid at once to the next qualified alternate. However, in this event, the original nominee may apply to the Scholarship Board for reinstatement at any time within twenty months of high school graduation. If this request is approved,
197
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
the reinstated scholarship will be paid from the Scholarship Fund in addition to that already granted to the alternate.
Athletic Pictures and Awards
As a result of Student Council action, pictures of the various athletic teams which have represented the school so well over the past twenty-five years were brought together, reudced to a uniform size by the school photographer, and placed in a new panel arrangement in the school corridor near the main office. Panel frames for this interesting and historic collection were constructed in the Boys' Vocational Shop.
Another change had to do with the Edward S. Costello and Charles R. Donnell athletic awards. With the approval of the citizens committees originally concerned, brought together, reduced to a uniform size by the school photographer, and placed '53 to present at graduation to the winners of both of these awards miniature memorial trophies for permanent retention.
F. T. A.
One of the first chapters of the Future Teachers of America to be formed in Massachusetts was organized in the Senior High School under the sponsorship of Miss Ruth Gow of the High School Faculty. The F. T. A. is made up of twenty to twenty-five interested young people who meet bimonthly during the activities period to learn more about teaching as a profession. F. T. A. is the profession's own answer to the impending critical need for more and better qualified teachers
. H. Bennett Murray Field
In a simple and dignified ceremony preceding the annual Thanksgiving Day football game with Dedham, November 26, 1953, the athletic field at the Senior High School was officially named in honor of H. Bennett Murray who had died the previous March. Beloved "Benny" had retired because of illness in 1946 after twenty-five interested young people who meet bimonthly during the activities period Physical Education at the School.

Personnel
In June 1953, Jean M. Dethier, Supervisor of Music, met his last class in Norwood High School and brought to an end a period of service that began in April 1925. Born in Belgium and educated in the old world, Prof. Dethier main- tained throughout his years of teaching the high standards of musical excellence which marked his own early training; yet he brought to his classroom a kindly and sympathetic heart and a wise, stimulating, and integrative philosophy of life. We wish him many happy years of retirements.
In August, Raymond F. Fleck, Supervisor of Music in the North Adams Schools, was named to the position made vacant by the resignation of Prof. Dethier.
In Conclusion
It would be less than appropriate were this report to end without an expression of appreciation to those who have helped us so much during the year. We are grateful to Superintendent Lynch, to the School Committee, to the fathers and mothers of Norwood - indeed to all those known and unknown who during the year have aided us in any way.
This report concludes with the names of those who received special honors at the 1953 graduation exercises and with a reproduction of the program followed on that occasion.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE H. O. PEABODY SCHOOL
[ hereby submit the twelfth annual report of the Henry O. Peabody School for girls.
Several significant factors have contributed to the further development of the Henry O. Peabody School this year. A growing appreciation of our function as a career-training school serving a wide area is the result of a continuous effort on the part of the faculty in carrying out a fine working relationship with neighboring guidance directors and school administrators.
The success of last year's advertising warranted its continuance this year, as requests for catalogs, inquiries about the courses, and the increase in the number of visits to the school show a definite directing of the attention of the public to us.
Above all, the factor which is most satisfying is the continued success of our graduates on the job and the quality type of placement available to them through the years. This respect for our training and our graduates adds greatly to the prestige of the school.
This year's enrollment shows an increase in numbers, a fact which lends impetus to the school program and all its activities. This increase in enrollment includes more students of the 12th and 13th grade levels, with definite interest in their chosen fields. Because vocational education is not the answer to the problems of every secondary school student, our policy of accepting pupils has been modified to give first consideration to those who come with serious purpose and definite goals. This year, it was necessary to refuse a number of applicants who applied for admission to the school.
The transportation factor is still a difficulty for many of our interested pros- pects. We surveyed methods of commuting in September, 1953, and made arrange- ments to pool rides when possible. We are now working on the possibility of establishing points (railroad stations, bus stops, etc.) where groups of students can be met each morning. Through the efforts of friends, we have been able to find excellent living accommodations for three non-resident students who reside in Norwood during the week.
In spite of extra demands made upon our faculty in promoting the school and in supporting an active social program, so important to young people, our courses of study are being revised continuously to meet employment requirements and needs of our present enrollment. Holding to the best trade standards as a "must," we constantly aim for enrichment of our academic program and for im- provement in our guidance procedures.
Two of the four similar trade schools in Massachusetts have started courses for training dental assistants and practical nurses. Both courses have become very popular throughout the country. Because of our proximity to Boston and the courses available there, and because of our rate of pupil growth and recruiting difficulties experienced in other fields, together with lack of physical facilities within our present plant, we do not feel that the Henry O. Peabody School is ready for such expansion.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
However, judged from the standpoint of present job opportunities, we do believe we are justified in continuing and building our four existing programs- Beauty Culture, Business, Trade Dressmaking, and Commercial Foods.
In Beauty Culture, we are endeavoring to make it possible for postgraduate students to complete the 1,000 hours of practical work required by the State Board of Hairdressing within one school year. In the Commercial Food Depart- ment, several short-unit courses have been set up to enable postgraduate students to be ready for placement within a year. Business opportunities in dressınaking are varied. So far, most of our graduates have positions in alteration departments and customer work or do custom dressmaking at home. However, those who have a decided flair for fashion, as well as a good sense of construction, can find unusual positions with leading dress manufacturers. The day-school Business Department this year has new closing hours to correspond with those of the Senior High School. We hope that more senior students will be interested in transferring to the full-time Business Education program in our school now that the deterring factor of the longer school day has been eliminated. With new industries locating in this area and more employers seeking our Business Department graduates, it would seem advisable for parents of 12th-grade business pupils to look into the vocational advantages and opportunities in this department which businessmen so wholeheartedly endorse.
The following are excerpts from the annual report to the Superintendent of Schools from the Massachusetts Department of Vocational Education:
"Continued effort has been made to strengthen public relations throughout the area and to publicize the fine training opportunities available at this school."
"In view of the present social-economic conditions affecting the Girls' Trade and Industrial Education program throughout the State, the enroll- ment in this school has held up satisfactorily this year."
"This school has made considerable effort to find and guide the grad- uates into superior jobs, suited to the individual graduate's ability and future development."

By request of the faculty, this year a workshop course in Human Dynamics was conducted at the school under the direction of Dr. Libby B. Bower and Dr. Reuben J. Margolin, of the Massachusetts Association for Mental Hygiene. Faculty representation was 100 percent. The group met after school for two hours weekly for ten consecutive weeks. We felt that it would be a very worth-while experience to work together to bring about better mutual understanding, to review possi- bilities making for better student-teacher relationships, to become more informed about community resources, and to take an objective view of the school in order to improve our policies and procedures. In addition to the educational aspects of the course, we enjoyed meeting together each week. Following the last class, dinner was served to our group in the Tea Room.
In September, 1953, as a follow-up on this course, two faculty committees were organized to improve our guidance procedures and to further develop school pro- motion and policy. Several committee meetings are held during the month prior to the general faculty meetings. Planned faculty meetings are scheduled for the entire school year.
The Guidance Committee is working very closely with the students. There is evidence of much improvement in student-teacher relationships, in school citi- zenship and in school loyalty.
The School Promotion Committee is working with Mr. Gerard Burke, director of our school advertising. Supplementing the existing advertising procedures, this committee is working diligently to provide a weekly series of news stories which are released to the press in Norwood and twenty-one towns where students reside. "These releases feature genuine news. Indicating student co-operation and enthus- iasm, press representatives were elected in each homeroom to a special committee to work in conjunction with the faculty School Promotion Committee gathering interesting news items. The news is prepared for release by the students in the Business Department. We hope the communities have recognized this new pro. motion feature.
The Adult Evening School Program has now grown in Massachusetts to include 110 communities, employing 675 teachers. Norwood has a very extensive program for its size, employing 15 teachers, conducting 25 classes. These classes represent three types of training - Practical Arts and Homemaking, Crafts, and Business. Preference is given to Norwood residents.
In the Homemaking group, Dressinaking is still the most popular. This program includes five classes in Dressmaking, four in Children's Clothing, one in
207
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Upholstery, and in Slip Covering. The Craft program includes three classes in Tray Painting, one in Jewelry Making, two in Rug Hooking, and two in Rug Braiding.
The Norwood School Committee voted this year to continue the Cabinet Making classes on a two-year basis. This is also very popular, and both classes are filled to capacity. The School Committee also voted to inaugurate new courses in Business Education, in which advanced and refresher training in Shorthand, Transcription, and Business Machines is provided. This course is vocational in nature. Students are trained for advancement in their present occupations, for promotion within the company, or for a change in position.
Although enrollment has been small the first year, it may be due to the delay in getting courses underway. It was difficult to find qualified teachers who wished to undertake evening work. However, we have been fortunate in procuring the services of Miss Helen Whalan, the acting head of the Business Department of Brighton High School, to teach the Business Machines class and Mr. Michael Gradone, teacher of Secretarial classes in Newton Junior College, to teach Short- hand and Advanced Transcription. Students show fine progress, and we look for- ward to increased interest next fall.
The following excerpt is from the annual report to the Superintendent of Schools from the Massachusetts Department of Vocational Education:
"Excellent standards of workmanship, good organization and teaching gave evidence of a splendid Adult program meeting the needs of a cross section of the community."
We appreciate the interest and co-operation of the Norwood School Com- mittee in further promoting public relations for the school. As members of the School Committee Association of Area II, they arranged to hold the April meeting at the Peabody School. The Commercial Foods Department prepared and served a delicious dinner for the meeting. The School faculty planned a panel discussion on the subject of: "HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER MORE EFFECTIVELY TO SERVE THE VOCATIONAL NEEDS OF YOUTH, INDUSTRY, AND THE COMMUNITY?" and invited prominent individuals who were closely concerned with the development of this school to participate. These panel members included parents and employers of our graduates; Mr. John Kiley, Chairman of the Norwood School Committee; Mr. Lincoln D. Lynch, Superintendent of Norwood Schools; Mr. Paul L. Salsgiver, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Corporation; and Miss Anna A. Kloss, Senior Supervisor, Vocational Division, Massachusetts State Department of Vocational Education, who was panel leader.
