2. Most of these children will go on to High School-in Norwood-many from St. Catherine go on to Parochial High Schools-(average 58% in past five years)


3. While it is true that every year children move out of Norwood, others come in to take their places-at all grade levels. For example in 1955- 1956 from October to April, 108 moved in and 72 moved out of Nor- wood Public Schools.


4. Using the table presented herewith, one should keep in mind the fact that it will require at least two years from the time a building committee is appointed until the building is ready for occupancy.


5. With these foregoing facts in mind then, we find that we can project figures of :


1148 Public School pupils in Grades 9-12 in 1962 376 Parochial School pupils in Grades 9-12 in 1962 TOTAL 1524


1227 Public School pupils in Grades 9-12 in 1964


662 Parochial School pupils in Grades 9-12 in 1964 TOTAL 1889


Conclusion : Allowing for newcomers as well as "drop-outs", the School Committee feels that it is reasonable to conclude that it is safe to plan now for a Senior High School with a capacity of 1500 students.


Resolution


ELIZABETH O. COSTELLO 1911 - 1958


At the end of a long and fruitful period of service, character- ized by unselfish devotion to the children of our town, you must feel most satisfied.


We, all of us, and we speak for the hundreds of young people whose privilege it was to be numbered among your pupils, hope that in the years to come, you will look back upon your record with a source of pride, and that the memories of pleasant associa- tions will enrich the enjoyment of the years which lie before you.


We would have you know that you are always welcome among us and it is our sincere hope that you will have many years of good health and fortune before you.

Resolution


RUTH M. GOW 1918 - 1958


Following forty years of uninterrupted service in teaching in the Senior High School of Norwood, we know that you have played a very important part in contributing, in no small way, to the effectiveness of our school program.


In a most helpful manner, you have addressed yourself to your tasks diligently. You have been a constant source of inspiration to your fellow-teachers. Your wealth of experience acquired through extensive travel, teaching, and interests have helped to make you a most interesting person.


Many years of work with the problems of our schools and a keen understanding of those with whom you worked and of the 1 young people whose interests were always paramount, make it possible for you to leave the service of the schools with a most enviable record.


We would have you know that you are always welcome among us and it is our sincere hope that you will have many years of good health and fortune before you.

New Services


References to statements which appear elsewhere in this report will reveal our awareness of the need to meet the challenge of modern edu- cation, particularly in the areas of guidance, reading, and library skills.


Special Education


We have found it necessary to establish classes for three levels of instruction for mentally retarded children. At the present time, two of these classes, primary and intermediate, are housed in the West School, and the third, for pupils of Junior High School age, in the Junior High School building.


Policy Making


For several years, we have been increasingly active as a Committee in directing the affairs of the schools. Our meetings have been frequent, usually weekly, and our sessions have been long.


234


TOWN OF NORWOOD


Recently we have purchased the forms necessary to guide us in the whole area of policy-making.


It is our conviction that much School Committee time and effort will be conserved if we proceed with our plans to systemize our policy mak- ing. Such a program will also make for efficiencies in the administration of our total school program.


Bleachers


The old wooden bleachers at the High School were razed because several sections were damaged by fire and the remaining structure was declared to be unsafe.


For many years they have been repaired annually at considerable expense. They were, when destroyed, in such condition as to require more costly rebuilding than they were worth.


Consequently, we arranged for the purchase of several sections (1000 seats) of new portable bleachers.

Appreciation


We, the members of the Norwood School Committee, appreciate the will- ingness of the employees of the Norwood Schools in the performance, each according to his capacity to contribute, of the many and difficult tasks they have so generously undertaken.

FRANCES L. BLANCHOT JOHN F. REYNOLDS JOHN F. KILEY EUGENE A. NELSON DR. JOHN F. KELLY MARY H. HEMMAN


REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


Herewith I submit my twenty-third report as Superintendent of Schools. There are included in my report such statements as may well have been, but, for one reason or another, have not been made by others in the Report of the School Committee.


Vocational Offerings


Dr. James B. Conant, in his conclusions, following his study of the American Secondary School, makes it abundantly clear that large numbers of pupils in high school are pursuing courses with little profit to them- selves and little promise of profit to society as a whole. Such pupils are not going on to higher education and, on this account, should be taught marketable skills.


It is my personal opinion that skills are taught most effectively in a Vocational School setting, whether the pupils are enrolled in a "trade" course or in the commercial courses.


Pupils who demonstrate a capacity for less than mediocrity in per- formance should, he says, be guided into pursuits more in keeping with their promise of success.


We have in the Henry O. Peabody School, established sound begin- nings - the potential is there. I hope that an improved Guidance pro- gram will in the early future, "bear fruit".


We have, however, a long way to go in providing similar opportunities for large numbers of boys for whom Norwood does not provide similar opportunities.


It is to be regretted that there appears to be little liklihood of the possibility of including plans for complete Vocational School for Boys offerings in the contemplated addition to the Senior High School building.


237


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


Communication Skills


The critical observer notices in young people and in old ones too, for that matter, a tendency to carelessness and slovenliness in expression whether oral or written. Some of us would like to address special attention to this most important area in the language arts field.


We would like to see all teachers at all times and no matter what the subject matter being taught, create in pupils a conscience for as well as a consciousness of the importance of good expression.


We must teach pupils to listen well, to read well, to write well in the whole process of communication of ideas to one another.


To this end we plan to offer to all teachers an opportunity to enroll in a course which will be presented at the opening of this next school year. The course will be conducted thru the Harvard-Boston University Extension Offices and will be entitled "Listening, Speaking, and Writing Skills".


Personally, I hope that we can create an interest among large groups of children and hope that parents too, will be sympathetically approving our efforts to encourage children in the use of nice and clear expression of ideas.


Guidance


Our program in Guidance is on its way to become a really effective service. Provision is planned for the procurement of an additional guid- ance counsellor at the High School for next year.


Following this year, another may be provided, I hope, and so on until the "case load" for each is approximately 250 pupils (recommended by the State Dept. of Education).


The need for a Guidance Service for elementary school children appears occasionally, when we are confronted with the problems of young mal- adjusted children. This kind of situation "points up" failures which might possibly have been avoided if proper steps had earlier been taken in the prevention of causes.


Naturally, one may ask, "Why not provide the kind of counselling service for all children as well as for the potentially or actually mal- adjusted child ?"


The answer seems to be that such service could and should be made available for all children.


It is pointed out here, that teachers and principals alike would profit from the supervisory counselling and advice that a competent guidance specialist can provide.


Maintenance


The size and number of school plants require that annually, more and more attention must be given to their needs. The town might well


238


TOWN OF NORWOOD


consider the advisability of the establishment of grounds and building maintenance crews.


Crews of painters, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and handymen could well be employed steadily by the Town to keep properties in repair. There is enough to require the full-time employment of such groups.


The language of our Town Charter is so written as to leave readers with different interpretations as to intended meanings.


Recent interpretation by Town Counsel is different from interpretations of preceding Town Counsels. The resulting confusion could be eliminated by clarification of the language of the Charter. However, nothing seems to happen which will lead us to the hope that the situation may be cleared. So we "stumble along" as it were, not knowing how to plan for a good program for maintenance, repair and replacement of buildings, grounds, and equipment.


Fire and Safety


As in the case of the Cocoanut Grove disaster of a few years ago, the recent school building fire in Chicago with its devastating and catastrophic losses of the lives of children and teachers, has focused attention upon the whole problem of fire prevention, detection, and child safety.


During the past year many important steps have been taken to make our school buildings as safe as possible from the dangers of fire and explosion and to provide as far as can be, for the safety of the occupants of school buildings.


There is yet much to be done, notwithstanding the fact that our build- ings are declared safe by representatives of the Department of Public Safety.


To illustrate,-the West School heating plant needs to be replaced because of the fact that the basement rooms are not well heated,-the Winslow and Balch School storerooms will have to be rebuilt to meet recommended Department of Public Safety standards,-automatic fire con- trols will have to be installed in several boiler installations,-incinerators will have to be installed in some of the older schools and outside egresses will have to be constructed from the Winslow and Shattuck School base- ments if they are to be used as places where either children or adults assemble.


Fluoridation


"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread". I make no further apology for venturing into an area quite foreign to my background experience and training. However, I would like to make an observation.


Hundreds of Massachusetts pupils are attending institutions of higher learning. Their classmates are registered in these same schools from com-


239


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


munities all over the nation. Many of these young people have never been required to have the attention of the dentist. Dental caries is some- thing they have never known or suffered.


The authorities of the United States Department of Public Health, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the Research Staffs of the best Medical Schools in our country, all testify to the incontrovertible evidence that the source of this great cause of suffering among children is the absence of fluorine in our water supply.


The Town of Norwood can do something for its children by attacking this problem and solving it.


Conclusion


May I take this opportunity to express to our teachers a word of welcome, to our older teachers and other co-workers a word of gratitude, and to the School Committee, a word of appreciation for the helpful support and encouragement which has been given me.

TOWN OF NORWOOD


REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL


I have the honor to present my thirteenth annual report as Principal of the Senior High School.


Enrollments Go Up


Approximately 814 pupils will be enrolled at the Senior High School next September. This will be an increase of 30 over our present member- ship and will give us approximately 114 more students than the normal school capacity. While instructional standards at the school continue high, yet overcrowded school conditions inevitably restrict educational experiences. It is, therefore, a pleasure to note that by Town Meeting action a Building Committee for an addition to the Senior High School has now been appointed. This can mean that in the forseeable future Norwood will have educational facilities at the high school level which are second to none in the State.


Interim Enrollment Arrangements


It is probable that at least for one more year we can avoid the serious instructional losses entailed in double sessions. However, next fall it will be necessary to use the school gymnasium as a homeroom in the morning, again to schedule some voice training classes to the first floor corridor, again to use the cafeteria throughout the day as a studyhall and during some periods also as a classroom, again to schedule some high school classes to the Peabody School for instructional space, and again to assign some high school Biology and Chemistry classes to non-science, unspe- cialized classrooms. The situation is very critical.


The Faculty Studies the School


Meanwhile during the year just passed the Senior High School faculty has used the Evaluative Criteria of the Cooperative Study of Secondary School Standards to make a detailed analysis and appraisal of every aspect of our present educational effort. In this connection, School Committee members and others designated by the School Committee have been invited to attend forthcoming faculty meetings at which evaluation subcommittee chairmen will submit their reports to the group as a whole for discussion, amendment, and acceptance.


Scheduled for March is the visiting committee phase of the Evaluation. At this time twelve to fifteen educators from outstanding colleges and high schools will spend at least three full days at the school, checking faculty appraisals and developing their own detailed and comprehensive report on the school. Vice Principal Thomas J. Roche is faculty chairman of the Steering Committee for the Evaluation.


How High Are High School Standards?


A relatively high percentage of the graduates of Norwood Senior High School (last year more than 50%) continue their education with some type of formal schooling beyond the twelfth grade. As reported by Guid- ance, fifty-two members of the graduating class of last June are presently undertaking degree work at four-year colleges. Furthermore, for at least

the last fifteen years every graduate of the school who had grades of 80% or over in college preparatory subjects and who applied for college has been accepted by the college of his choice or at least by an equivalent collegiate institution.
