The Civic "Clean-Up, Paint-Up, Fix-Up" Campaign
Many attractive posters were contributed by the art classes of our schools to assist the Norwood Women's Club in their campaign for civic clean-up.
Cash awards were given to the best High School and Junior High con- tributors. Ball point pens were distributed to the winners at the ele- mentary level.
Conclusion
In this report no attempt has been made to describe the potential of our two new schools in relation to our art offerings. The kiln, the multi- purpose rooms, the space, the new tables, - all point toward the ideal in art experience for children.
This past year has been a busy, fruitful time. This recapitulation is instrumental in showing how much has been accomplished generally, but specifically, the evaluation should be with the individual child; his perform- ing, evaluating, deciding, rejecting, inventing during the art lesson - here is the value of the art program.
To our teachers who cope with papier mache, finger painting, copper enamelling, clay modelling and other involved techniques, I should like to give my sincere thanks for their untiring efforts in projecting the art course. I should also like to extend to the principals, to Mr. Lynch, and to the School Committee, my thanks for their support and cooperation.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL HEALTH DEPARTMENT
The annual report of the School Health Department is herewith submitted.
Health Appraisals
A stripped-to-the-waist examination was given to all children in Kinder- garten through Grade 12 by the school physicians, George Allen M. D. and
278
TOWN OF NORWOOD
Harriet Rogers M. D. Of the 3889 children examined 258 were referred to their family doctor for further diagnosis and treatment. 204 of these chil- den completed the referral.
Dental Examination
Dr. Timothy Curtin, school dentist, examined 4018 children in Kinder- garten through Grade 12, 467 of the 1704 children found to have dental defects were completed at the school dental clinic. The family dentist completed work on 756. In June, 268 children were still under treatment with their family dentists. We hope that through education, dental work will be started earlier and continued periodically to decrease dental defects.
Massachusetts Vision Tests
The Massachusetts Vision Test was administered to 4008 children, 177 children wre found to have defective vision and were referred for further treatment, 175 had the necessary corrections made.
School Eye Clinic
Twenty-four clinics were held at the Junior High School under the direc- tion of William Ryan, M.D. 174 children were cared for at this clinic
Marco Puretone Audiometer Tests
1083 Individual audiometer tests were given to all children in Kindegarten through Grade II, and those failing the group test. 3296 children in Grade III through Grade XII were given the group audiometer test. 57 were found to have defective hearing and were referred for diagnosis and treatment. 55 children completed referral.
The Lip Reading classes are taught by Mrs. Jeanne Quinn. Lip reading has been made available not only to those with marked hearing losses in both ears but in several instances to children with only one seriously defective ear as a precautionary step in the event that some difficulty might develop in the good ear. It is easier to learn lip reading while there is some hearing.
Communicable Disease Control
The usual precautions have been taken to avoid the widespread incidence of colds and communicable diseases.
At the immunization clinics forty-five children received their initial series of three injections of diphtheria and tetanus toxoid while one hundred and eighty-one received the booster injections.
All seniors and 33 of the school personnel received the Mantoux test for tuberculosis. All positive reactors were referred to Norfolk County Hospital or the Board of Health Clinic for chest X-rays and further follow up.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Personnel Changes
Miss Mary Canning resigned on December 31, 1957 to accept a position with the State Department of Public Health. We, in the department regret her leaving and wish her many years of success and happiness in her new position.
Mrs. Alice Maguire joined our staff on a part-time basis in February 1958. We are happy to welcome her and hope that she enjoys her duties.
It is hoped that some thought will be given to increasing the nursing personnel in the schools to meet the demands of the increasing enrollments.
Conclusion
We express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Lincoln D. Lynch, to the School Committee, to all the members of the School Department and of the Community for their cooperation and interest.

REPORT OF ADULT CIVIC EDUCATION
The following is the report of the Evening Classes in English and citizen- ship.
Simple graduation exercises for citizenship and English classes were held March 16, 1958 at 7:30 p.m. at the Senior High School. Twenty-five certificates and ten citizenship diplomas were awarded.
On October 7, 1958 classes opened at the Senior High School and are held on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7 to 10 o'clock for a total of forty sessions. There are two classes, one for beginners and the other for citizen- ship.
The beginners' class is taught by Mrs. Margaret McAuliffe. Pupils in this group either have no knowledge of English because they are new arrivals or they have little understanding of our language.
The second class is in citizenship and is taught by Mr. Thomas White. A thorough study of the principles of the Constitution and the history of the United States is given in this class. These people are preparing for their citizenship examination.
The total enrollment for 1958 was 54.
Nationalities represented were: Italian, Latvian, Finnish, Swedish, Swiss, Hungarian, Dutch, German, Cuban, and French.
A total of eight people were admitted to United States citizenship during the year.

FACTS ABOUT THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
FACTS ABOUT THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
The new Elementary Schools are built to accommodate pupils from the Kindergarten through Grade 6. In each school there are 2 Kinder- garten rooms, 12 Classrooms, a Physical Education Room, a "Cafetorium," an Art and Multi-purpose Room, Primary Play Room, Conference Room, Principal's Office, Health Center, Library and Remedial Room, and a Teachers' Room. The building is modern in every respect, constructed of fire resistant materials and has all the facilities essential for a well rounded educational program. Furnishings and equipment have been care- fully seelcted for their practical design and high quality.
A unique feature of the plan is the elimination of long corridors; a space which is wasted in a conventional building, except for pupil traffic. By widening the corridors space is provided for an auditorium, physical education, art and multi-purpose room, and a primary play room. Each of these areas also have been designed with community use in mind. When classes are not in session any one area may be used without opening or heating the entire building.
Each pair of classrooms is provided with a common vestibule for direct egress to the outside. This permits direct access to the rooms without the usual confusion inside the building and allows the pupils to pass directly to their outside play areas at recess. This further insures the safety of the children in the possible event of fire. Toilet facilities in the vestibule are available for playground and recreational use with- out entering the rest of the building.
Outside play areas are located for each age group of children away from classrooms to minimize distractions.
The Committee has considered every possible economy consistent with good school construction, lower maintenance and operational costs, and sound educational programming.

PROGRESS REPORT OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS BUILDING COMMITTEE
On November 17, 1958, the elementary school in the Neponset area, the Charles J. Prescott School, was occupied for the first time by 394 children. This school, located on Richland Road near Dean and Neponset Streets, was constructed by Leonard Rugo, Inc. of Boston.
The other elementary school on Nichols Street, named in honor of Dr. Frederick A. Cleveland, opened on December 29, 1958 with an enroll- ment of 378 children. The Contractor was Poorvu Construction Company of Wellesley Hills.
The architectural firm of Korslund, LeNormand, and Quann, Inc. of Norwood designed the twin schools and supervised their construction.
Due to winter weather conditions the landscape contractor, Dale Robert- son of Canton, was unable to complete the landscape work. This work will resume in the spring of 1959 as soon as weather permits.
On October 20, 1958, the members of the Elementary Schools Building Committee were greatly saddened by the sudden death of one of their members, Walter E. Dolan.
The Committee is most appreciative of the assistance given by many boards and town officals. In particular to Superintendent of Schools Lin- coln D. Lynch and his staff and Mr. Umberto Naooleone for their valuable assistance.
