The after-school athletic program consists of basketball, archery, and tennis. The girls basketball team played a schedule of five games with teams from neigh- boring towns. The intramural program was run before and after the regular basketball schedule.
Girls tennis under the supervision of Miss Ruth Johngren enjoyed a fine sea- son. They held matches with teams from neighboring towns.
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 seniors.
The general objectives of the health program are: To improve the general condition of the individual so that he may function normally, avoid disease, and fit himself for his life work, and to develop in the pupils an interest in good body mechanics through self-appraisal and group judgment.
Junior High School-Girls
The Girls Physical Education Department, under the direction of Miss Ellen Gifford, consists of corrective exercises, apparatus, marching, dancing, hiking, games, and posture work.
An extensive after-school program is carried out in games such as tennis, tenni- quoit, volley ball, archery, badminton, and basketball.
Junior High School-Boys
The program under the supervision of Mr. John Dixon consists of calisthenics, marching, apparatus, health hints, group games, social dancing, and a sports club.

TOWN OF NORWOOD
The Athletic programn consists of the following: Varsity Basketball, Varsity Baseball, Intramural Basketball, Baseball, and Touch Football. For the first time in the history of the School, hockey has been introduced in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades under the supervision of Leonard Ceglarski. Prcatice sessions and interscholastic games are held in the Boston Arena. We feel that as a result of the introduction of hockey at the Junior High School level, our Senior High School team will profit in the future because of the fact that boys interested will enter the High School well grounded in the fundamentals of the game.
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, Director of Athletics and Physical Education.
REPORT OF HOME ECONOMICS EDUCATION
I herewith submit my report on Home Economics Education in the Norwood Public Schools for the year ending December 31, 1954. .
In planning our Home Economics program, recognition has been given to the importance of the home as a factor in improving world conditions and international good will. We realize that all people do not have or want the same cultural stand- ards, nor the same diet, yet as nearly as possible it is our duty to present a way of living which will eventually raise standards. Home Economics Education is pre- pared to participate widely in bringing about changes which will assist people in making basic decisions leading to the better things in life. By concentrating our interests on family living and building our courses around a family-centered cur- riculum we believe that we are contributing to an over-all program which will strengthen family life and bring about personal development and adjustment. Keep- ing up-to-date with equipment and methods keeps Home Economics a live, func- tioning subject, holding us ever on the alert. We hope that we are helping those who want help, who want change and improvement, thus contributing to general advancement.
In Norwood, Home Economics instruction is offered from the seventh to the twelfth grades, inclusive, some courses elective, others required. All girls receive basic homemaking training while those interested in spending more time in this field may do so by electing our major courses.
Basically, we introduce pupils to the elements of homemaking with its usual daily problems of the selection, care, preparation and serving of food, fundamental sewing processes, selection and care of clothing, style, fashion, budgeting, main- taining the home, problems of shelter, child care and training, use of leisure, family relationships, cultural values, etc., all the while helping the pupil to take a useful place within the family, his home and his community.
As we advance to High School levels we are able to accomplish an orientation in tffective, responsible living through a program of experiences which particularly emphasize the importance of family life and which develop such skills and attitudes

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
as are essential in a good family member. We endeavor here to provide experi- ences which will enable them to get along with people, to acquire confidence in themselves, to develop poise and social acceptibility and to use discrimination be- tween greater and lesser values in life.
In our High School "Youth Problems" class, required of all girls, the course is based upon the common personal and social problems of youth. Each unit of in- struction is differentiated to meet the particular needs of the individual and the needs of the particular class. Here emphasis is upon cooperation and shared re- sponsibility through teacher-pupil planning. It is interesting to note the varied interests of pupils in planning home experiences-for instance, one girl will be interested in decoration because her parents own their homes, another will have more home duties because her mother is employed, another will reflect her mother's interests such as preference for working in th yard or garden as compared with indoor activities, and so on. Also, pupils tend to enjoy the experiences which the teacher enjoys teaching. Group leadership is encouraged and rotates as individuals participate in group discussion. The response to this course and methods used is excellent.
Although, of necessity, practice in techniques and skills occupies much time in beginning courses and we start out with the common everyday problems of work- ing, playing and living together, we advance gradually from the point where pupils define their own problems, thence to those problems which are within their power to solve, continuing to problems of self-appraisal, rules for healthful and satisfying living, principles of right behavior and thinking, right habits, public approval, right vs. wrong, vocational possibilities, getting the most out of school life, growing up, etc.
Our lessons in international cookery are most popular. Pupils bring in fav- orite recipes from home, learn from their mothers how they are prepared and then demonstrate for the class. In some cases the mother visits the class and gives the demonstration. This tie-up with the home strengthens relationships.
"Do-it-yourself" projects are reaching into every phase of homemaking. The homemaker can now do a professional job with the "know-how" and "What-to-use" information at hand. The economy and practical phases of many of these projects is encouraging and popular and offers an interesting approach in our teaching. Such units as easy decorating with the new pre-pasted wallpapers, upholstering with foam rubber, can be discussed and demonstrated to our pupils and they enjoy these lessons very much and find thein most profitable.
Work-saving products flood the market, one of the newest being the "tucked- in" turkey, which eliminated the old fashioned trussing and sewing of the turkey. Everywhere convenience and efficiency can be noted in household products now on the market. What a challenge to the homemaking teacher!
Progress in the manufacture of electrical housewares and appliances has been phenomenal. Items new or unheard of ten years ago are now standard equipment in many homes. Units in household equipment now command our attention and we hope that we may soon add some of these common electric appliances to our equipment in order that pupils may have practise in their use. New materials and gadgets which ease processes and give the professional look to garments make

TOWN OF NORWOOD
clothing construction more satisfying. "Tricks of the Trade" is now an added con- sideration in our dressmaking classes, as well as selection, properties, treatment and care of the many new fabrics.
We are most grateful to the Mothers' Club for continuing their award for excellence in Homemaking Education. Our girls really work for this honor and it makes for spirited competition. May I take this opportunity to express our most sincere appreciation to the Norwood Mother's Club for their continued interest in Home Economics Education.
I wish at this time to thank all co-workers, school officials, administrators and the School Committee for their continued support of the Home Economics program.
Very respectfully submitted,
AGNES M. BRIDGES, Supervisor of Home Economics Education Norwood Public Schools
