Enrollment - A Critical Problem
In my report of a year ago I stated that additional instructional space would be imperatively needed at the Senior High School when school reopened in the Fall of 1957. Attention is again drawn to this critical problem. The Senior High School will be overcrowded next September. Parents and others should realize that whether these needed facilities are in fact provided in 1958 or in 1959 or later, there will yet be no way in which to recoup the instructional losses which will be continuously and increas- ingly sustained throughout the period of inadequacy. For this reason it is earnestly hoped that this period, inevitable as it now is, may yet be of the shortest possible duration.

A comparison of Tables II and III above indicates that next September we shall have at the Senior High School an enrollment of approximately 778 students or about 120 more than our present membership of 658. In this connection it should be realized that even with our present enrollment, this year it has been necessary to use the school lunchroom as a studyhall during part of each school day. The maximum number of students that can be accommodated at the Senior High School without serious instructional loss is 700. However, next fall our enrollment will exceed that figure by about 78. This will mean that beginning next September, not only homeroom and study groups, but also during some periods, regular classes will have to be assigned to the library and/or to the Cafeteria.
Furthermore in September 1958 as indicated in Table IV, we shall be faced with the impossible situation of having to provide for the instruction of approximately 185 more pupils than present facilities permit. It may also be helpful in understanding this enrollment situation to realize that in Sep- tember 1961, i.e., four years from next September, the Senior High School population will in all probability be almost twice as large as it was seven years before. In other words between September 1954 and September 1961 the Senior High School enrollment will have almost doubled. The need for immediate action would seem to be obvious.
A Forward Look
To provide for this increased enrollment, in the years immediately ahead we shall need at the Senior High School:
1. 25 - 30 additional classrooms (regular and special purpose)
2. An auditorium capable of seating at least 900 students.
3. Enlarged gymnasium facilities, including additional locker- rooms and showers.
281
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
4. Enlarged Science laboratory facilities.
5. Enlarged Cafetria facilities.
6. Enlarged library facilities (plus a full-time librarian)
7. Enlarged facilities for the expansion of our Boys' Voca- tional School.
S. A modern intercommunication system between all parts of the new and old building, and
9. Most important of all-the best teachers to be found any- where to staff the new facilities.
Personnel
In June, Mr. John Levitsky, Art Instructor at the Senior High School, was chosen Art Director for the entire system. Miss Joan Chase was elected to take over Mr. Levitsky's instructional duties at the Senior High. Also Mr. Raymond Fleck, Music Instructor at the Senior High School, was trans- ferred to the Elementary Division, and Mr. John Faucett was named to teach music at the Senior High School. Miss Chase came to us from Boston University where she taught Arts and Crafts in the School of Education. Mr. Faucett, a graduate of Bucknell University School of Music, before coming to Norwood taught in the schools of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, and Norwich, New York.
In September, Mr. Fred Richardson, previously assigned to the Junior High School, assumed full-time instructional duties in the Boys' Vocational Division of the Senior High School.
In Conclusion
To Superintendent Lynch, to the members of the School Committee, and to all who have assisted us in any way during the year we are most grateful. This report will close with a list of those members of the graduating class who received special honors at the 1956 gaduation and with a copy of the program followed on that occasion.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF NORWOOD JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
I herewith submit my seventeenth annual report as principal of the Nor- wood Junior High School.
Our Guidance and Testing services are areas which are regularly reviewed because of the change in emphasis in recent years in such pro- grams. Each year we administer certain tests as part of a Guidance program, and last March we gave to all pupils the Stanford Achievement Test. Results indicate that teachers in our school are doing commendable work, for ex- tremely good performance is recorded in several areas. Our concern, apart from the guidance benefits of the test to the individual pupil, is to strengthen

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
areas which are not in line with the best results. With this in mind, we have devoted a series of teachers' meetings to the analysis and interpretation of the overall tests results in preparation for curriculum revision which will move forward in the ensuing year.
The improvement of instruction, in which curriculum development is one of the areas, is the first obligation of the principal. With the demands of administrative and managerial duties, there is less time for supervisional duties, which are the most important if instruction is to be improved. This will continue as long as enrollments climb and as new teachers are added to our staff. These new teachers should be aided by the principal's supervision so that they will develop to a level of efficiency that will ensure their success, for beginning teachers should not be expected to develop by themselves, but should advance in the direction of superior teaching by the time-consuming supervision and advice on the part of the principal. New teachers in our school recognize the need for adequate supervision to help them to develop their potential, and they appreciate the help which they receive.
I point up this phase of my work because I do not have sufficient time to devote to it now, and I shall have proportionately less in the future. Principals with whom I meet regularly believe that one-third of a principal's time should be spent on supervision, while the State of Kentucky, in an official bulletin defines a principal as "a person who devotes at least 50% of his time to the improvement of instruction." If I am to perform this phase of my work adequately while enrollment continues to rise, I will need a submaster so that I can spend sufficient time on this extremely important phase of school work.
In common with schools everywhere, our enrollment is increasing and will continue to increase. At present there are approximately eight hundred pupils in the Junior High School in Grades 7, 8, and 9. With five rooms occupied by an elementary unit, our building has nearly reached its capacity. After the next school year, 1957-1958, our building will not be able to accom- modate the elementary unit, but present plans call for a new elementary school to be ready for occupancy in September, 1958. If the new building will be completetd at that time, our enrollment can be accommodated for that year. In the following school year, however, another substantial increase in our enrollment will take place, and this increase will continue in succes- sive years.
An addition to the Junior High School has already been voted by our townspeople, who have seen the wisdom of the school authorities in insisting on rooms and facilities for the specialized purposes of secondary education. While a building committee is still working so that the addition can be constructed in accord with the town meeting mandate, the committee may be reluctant to push for speedy construcion until the building needs of the Norwood Senior High School are also considered. While we shall welcome the several special areas of the proposed addition to our school, because they will help us to round out our educational program, we are not averse to waiting to see how the Senior High School's expansion needs will be met before our building program is undertaken.
The needs of our building are about the same as those mentioned in
288
TOWN OF NORWOOD
my report last year. Since comprehensive building plans are underway, there is no need for me to reiterate our needs, most of which are directly caused by our increasing enrollment.
I again take this opportunity to thank you, Mr. Lynch, as well as our School Committee, for your continuing interest and support.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE HENRY O. PEABODY SCHOOL
I hereby submit the fifteenth annual report of the Henry O. Peabody School.
The year 1956 marked the Fifteenth Anniversary of Vocational Educa- tion in Massachusetts. The Governor proclaimed a special week designated for observation in the Vocational Schools throughout the Commonwealth, from October 21st through October 27th. Recognition of this outstanding accomplishment comes at a time when the onrush of growing school enroll- ments has forced a nationwide appraisal of the potential of vocational edu- cation and positive support for further growth and broadening of the program.
The rapidly increasing enrollment demands more programs of a practical nature in order to better hold and serve the larger number of students who plan to prepare for a job. Those of us who have an opportunity to develop programs know there is more respect and an increasing demand for well- trained graduates of vocational schools, and the scope of training has been broadening immeasurably in the last ten years. The future of our school will be shaped by these forces.
The Henry O. Peabody School, in its fifteenth year, is well established. The success of the present course offerings, in terms of placement and demand for our graduates, certainly shows a practical outcome of the training given. Nearly all who come for training complete the course entered and are placed satisfactorily on a job. (See list of graduates and enrollment chart.)
Transportation is still a major problem for most nonresident pupils who travel from distances to take advantage of the opportunities offered in Norwood. Nevertheless, they are applying in increased numbers and make up over 50% of our present enrollment.
Definite changes in our enrollment create many problems. The greater number now applying for admission are graduates of high schools. Each of our courses has high school graduates enrolled, and applications received for September, 1957, show that this trend will continue.
Our advertising program has been reduced considerably on the basis of the few inquiries received from this source. We feel that continued radio schedules during the summer months announcing the courses and opening

date of school will be sufficient at this time. The publication of a new catalog can be deferred for another year.
The following excerpts are from the annual report of the Massachusetts Department of Education, Vocational Division:
Day School
"This school is progressing splendidly under able leadership.
"Constant effort has been made to accept only those pupils who have definite ability and interest in their chosen trade, yet at the same time there has been willingness to give an individual pupil an opportunity to prove his or her worth when circumstances have warranted.
"This school is recognized for the quality of the related place- ments made for the graduates. A definite effort has been made to place the right person in a specific job and with concerns where there will be an opportunity for the graduate to continue to learn and advance.
"In view of the present small enrollment in the Dressmaking Department, some adjustment in the amount of teacher service is presently under consideration, advisedly.
"Teaching organization and teachers recommended for approval.
"The following departments are recommended for approval: Dressmaking-Power Stitching, Food Trades, and Scientific Care of Hair and Skin.
"All records examined, found to be acceptable, and School recom- mended for approval in these particulars."
Evening School
"Standards of workmanship indicate a fine teaching program underway in Norwood. It is recommended that subjects of interest to a wider cross section of the community be considered to perhaps replace certain subjects (Decorated Ware and Hooked Rugs) which have been offered for years and in which the interest seems to be waning.
"Teaching organization and teachers recommended for approval.
"The following courses are recommended for approval: Braided Rugs, Clothing, Decorated Ware, Hooked Rugs, Jewelry, Millinery, Slip Covers, Upholstery."
The Business Department by installing newer equipment in the calcu- lating, transcribing, and bookkeeping sections has increased its ability to cope with modernized office situations.
A new electric Comptometer, a Burroughs Sensimatic Bookkeeping Machine, a DeJur Stenorette Dictator-Transcriber, an electric Monroe Calcu- lator, and a newer type Gray Audograph Transcriber have been added, all of which will enrich the offerings of the present program and add to the training of those now enrolled in the business machines course.

TOWN OF NORWOOD
A request to organize a formal co-operative training program with our Business Department came this year from one of the larger industial com- panies in Norwood. The Peabody School has operated on a similar basis since its inception, although, no formal plan has ever been instituted with any particular company. Most of the full-time business students are placed in part-time positions when ready, which ultimately results in permanent employment.
I should like to recommend, at this time, a new survey of business requirements throughout this area to better serve both the student and the employer.
The Beauty Culture Course represents approximately one-third of the school enrollment this year. It has taxed all our physical facilities for the department and has necessitated additional equipment and teaching assist- ance. Our student lounge room had to be converted into a classroom to accommodate the overflow.
Several specialists skilled in teaching new techniques in hair coloring and styling make regular visits to the school. Our own instructors have been attending clinics offered by the industry to keep abreast with the latest methods.
The training program of the Commercial Foods Department has attracted the attention of the foods industry. Repesentatives of the Massachusetts Food Service Educational Council visited the school during Vocational Edu- cation Week. This organization is interested in co-ordinating the efforts of all foods groups in stimulating interest in the field and in attracting people to train for the industry.
Mr. Edward R. Dickhaut, President; M. Alexander Armour, Secretary and Treasurer of the Council; and Miss Frances Buzzell, President of the Massachusetts Restaurant Association, were much impressed by their visit. As a gesture, to show their interest in our young students, they have planned to hold the spring dinner meeting of this organization at the Peabody School. Our Foods Department students will prepare and serve the dinner, as well as take part in the program.
Much of the equipment in the Commercial Foods Department has been in use for nearly fifteen years. From time to time, small equipment has been added or replaced. In view of the reputation which we now enjoy, I should like to recommend that we consider modernizing our kitchens in keeping with the changes in the industry. Replacements of large equipment should be done on a long-range planning basis and should be in keeping with any new building which may be anticipated in the near future.
