TOWN OF NORWOOD
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Herewith I submit my twenty-fourth and last 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.
Additional Housing
Notwithstanding the fact that there will soon be presented to the 1960 Town Meeting a strong case for the erection of additional school housing facil- ities for elementary school children, the announcement, made in 1959, that plans are underway for the complete development of the areas formerly known as Westover and Holmwood, puts us "on notice" that even more may be required in the near future. The likelihood of the need for two more (than we have now) elementary school facilities is not at all unreal.
There must also be considered the problem of further expansion of second- ary school facilities. Though plans are now ready and construction soon to begin, the High School building which will be approximately twice as large as it is now, the day is not too "far off" when we will face the problem of additional school housing to accommodate all the students who will be enrolled in Grades VII to XII.
Foreign Language Instruction
Parents, teachers and pupils have received our program in conversational French language most enthusiastically. Our earlier efforts in this one seemed to be met with many frustrations arising out of schedule difficulties. Then we offered this opportunity only to those children in the elementary grades who appeared to excel in capacity for "handling language concepts. However, these children, together with many parents, were concerned about loss of time in other subject matter skills.
We have learned that children need not possess high intellectual power to be proficient in learning a language. We know that, at this age, children have no inhibitions in the matter of foreign language pronunciation. For these reasons, we have offered instruction in conversational French to all sixth grades, and to some others in lower grades, as an experiment.
It is too early yet, we feel, to declare that the sixth grade is the ideal time to introduce the child to this experience. However, as the child advances from grade to grade, we believe that upon an elective-selective basis, the promise of success as well as improvement of our program appears to be good.
There are those among us who feel that apart from the growth which we anticipate in mastery of the French language, we may expect concomitant im- provement in mastery of our own language. That which we must wait to learn, is whether the difference between the older program (basically - reading and writing) in foreign language and the newer (speaking, reading and writing) is measurable and, from the standpoint of improvement in either French, or English or both, defensible, notwithstanding, the greater amount of time required to make the program successful.
Resolution
MARY C. FLEMING
1910-1959
Since 1910 Miss Mary C. Fleming has served the interests of our schools and our community, thirty-eight of these years as a teacher in the Winslow School.
We, Members of the Norwood School Committee, are mindful of her devotion to her work and are most appreciative of her interest and effort in behalf of the hundreds of little children whose privilege it was to be numbered among her pupils and friends.
We extend to her our best wishes for many years of good health and fortune.
Resolution
HELEN P. GALE
1921-1959
Miss Helen P. Gale after thirty-eight years of service in the Norwood Public Schools, her work characterized by unsparingly and seemingly .tireless efforts in the interests of our town and its schools, has retired from these services.
The occasion of her retirement forces upon us the realization of the long term of invaluable service which she has rendered to our schools and our com- munity.
Ever an inspiring leader in her chosen field of work, she has also been identified with all that is good in civic and professional circles.
We, Members of the Norwood School Committee, hope that in the years to come, that you will look upon this record with much satisfaction. We hope, too, that the memories of pleasant association and work well done will enrich the enjoyment of the many years we hope lie before you.

Resolution
AGNES M. BRIDGES 1911-1959
Miss Agnes M. Bridges, after forty-eight years of service as a teacher in the Norwood Public Schools, has retired from her duties in the Home Economics Department of the Senior High School, after a long and fruitful period of service to our Town and its schools.
Ever mindful of her conscientious devotion to her work, to the girls whose privilege it was to be numbered among her pupils, we, the Norwood School Committee, upon the occasion of her retirement, records its appreciation of her work and extends to her its best wishes for good health and fortune.
Resolution
LUCY E. STEELE 1917-1959
We, the members of the Norwood School Committee, in appreciation of the many years of excellent service rendered our schools by Miss Lucy E. Steele, over a period of forty-two years, extend our best wishes for continued good health and happiness.
Ever mindful of your generous spirit in your work, we hope that there are many years ahead during which you may look back upon and derive much satis- faction from your excellent record as a servant of our Town and its people.
We hope, too, that the memories of pleasant associations and work well done will enrich the enjoyment of the many years we hope lie before you.

REPORT OF THE NORWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Vocational Education - Survey
In my report to you, last year, I indicated my thoughts and feelings in the matter of extension of Vocational School offerings. The Survey, prepared by representatives of the Division of Vocational Education in our State Department of Education and copies of it, distributed to Town Meeting members, points in the direction in which I would like to see Norwood move.
Norwood's Charter
Personally, I am much pleased to observe the lively interest manifested by so many people in the attempt to clarify understandings in the matter of interpre- tation of the language of our charter as it relates to the powers and duties of the School Committee.
Conclusion
May I take this opportunity to express to our new 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.
In addition, may I please add, that when, approximately twenty-five years ago, I was elected to my present duties, I resolved that I would do my best to make the Norwood Schools' educational program the best possible. This I have tried to do and I am grateful to the Town for the opportunities which all of my children have had, to take advantage of it.
LINCOLN D. LYNCH Superintendent of Schools
REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
I have the honor to present my fourteenth annual report as Principal of the Senior High School.
Enrollment
At this time we have 826 young people in attendance at the Senior High School exclusive of Peabody School membership. Last year our enrollment was 786. For next year we estimate that not less than 840 students will be registered. Within existing facilities we have reached the limit of our enrollment capacity. We hope to avoid the necessity of double sessions in the fall. However, faculty members and others note with enthusiasm that a new thirty-four room addition to the High School building has been approved by Town Meeting action and that actual construction on the new building will in all probability begin early in the spring.
The Results of the School Evaluation
In spite of enrollment problems the year has been, we believe, one of sub- stantial educational progress. Last spring the faculty concluded a two-year critical study and analysis covering virtually every aspect of our educational effort. In
226
TOWN OF NORWOOD
this connection last spring a visiting committee of eighteen educators spent three days at the school reviewing and evaluating faculty findings. It is, we believe, of some significance that this committee of visiting educators rated the School "good" or better in virtually every one of the fifty-eight areas appraised.
Much of value has already come from this two-year study, and much of value is expected to come from it in the immediate future. Of necessity, however, many recommendations in the report of the Visiting Committee must await ade- quate facilities and personnel which may be expected with the completion of our new addition.
The New Brochure
When Dr. Conant's recent suggestions for a truly modern high school were published, it was a source of satisfaction to all of us at the High School to note that both in philosophy and in practice our school was already in line with most of the major specifications of this eminent educator. Citizens who wish specific information with regard to the principles and practices which characterize the local high school may refer to the printed and pictorial brochure entitled NORWOOD HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM OF STUDIES AND CURRICULAR INFORMATION. Last spring for the first time in the history of the school a brochure of this type was made available for our students, their parents, and for others who might be interested. A copy may be obtained at the Principal's Office or at the office of the Superintendent of Schools.
Other Indicia of Progress
During the year many other aspects of the school have been further refined and expanded.
(1) The number of books in the School Library has been almost doubled, and the Library is today an integral and valuable part of the school experience.
(2) Further organization has been effected in our Reading Skills program. Virtually every student in the School now has the opportunity to take at least one course in Developmental Reading while in High School. Provision has also been made for those who need Remedial Reading help.
(3) Students who last year took our new Physics course and our Ad- vanced Mathematics course and who this year are continuing these studies in college report enthusiastically on the adequacy of their High School prepara- tion in these areas. The organization of both Physics and Mathematics this year has been still further improved.
(4) In November the School Committee accepted our recommendation that two additional English teachers be added to our teaching staff. This is in line with the Conant Report and with the Report of the Evaluating Committee mentioned earlier and permits our English teachers to give more individual attention to each of their students with new emphasis on written composition.
(5) For the first time a series of tests covering nine significant areas of developed ability was administered last June to the members of the present Junior class. In these tests Norwood High School placed in the top 5 per cent
227
REPORT OF THE NORWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
of all the high schools tested throughout the entire country. Understandably faculty members are pleased with this achievement.
(6) In the annual Yearbook competition conducted by Columbia Uni- versity, TIOT, the Norwood Senior High School yearbook of the Class of '59 was awarded first place honors. To the Co-Editors-in-Chief of TIOT '59, Patricia Hussey and Ronald Wilder, to all other students who participated in the pro- duction, and to Mrs. Philip Riley, their faculty sponsor, we offer our sincere congratulations for a superlative accomplishment.
The Foreign Exchange Program
Underlining as it does our hope for a better tomorrow through international friendships and understanding, the success of our foreign exchange program over the years has been a source of satisfaction to all of us. Many individuals and many organizations in the community have contributed to this program. Under the exchange program last year, Miss Madeline Zilfi, honor roll student and a top school citizen at Norwood, spent eight weeks during the summer in Germany. Miss Inger Hallstrom entered the School last September as a foreign exchange student from Sweden. We are deeply indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Fisher, 44 Emerson Drive, for their assistance in furnishing a home for this young lady in Norwood during the period of her attendance at the High School.
The National Honor Society
During the terminal weeks of 1959, plans for establishing a local chapter of the National Honor Society at the High School were all but completed. Tenta- tive membership requirements and a Constitution for the new organization have been drawn up by the faculty, reviewed by a Student Council Committee, and sent to the National Honor Society Headquarters in Washington for approval. I am happy, therefore, to report that within the next few weeks top ranking students in the High School not only will be accorded local Honor Roll citation as heretofore but will in addition have the privilege of membership in an honor society which has National recognition.
In Conclusion
In conclusion I wish to thank the High School faculty, the members of the School Committee, and all others who help so often and in so many ways to make our labors in the educational vineyard happy and, we trust, not unpro- ductive.
I am grateful to Superintendent of Schools Lincoln D. Lynch for his sup- port over the thirty-year period of our association.
As is usual, my annual report closes with a copy of the program followed at the last Senior High School graduation exercises and with the names of those students cited for special awards on that occasion.

I'll share my faith with ev'ry troubled heart, So I shall not have lived in vain, I'll give my hand; I'll sing my songs; I'll share my faith because I know That the time is now to fulfill each vow For I may never pass this way again. For I may never pass this way again.

"Turn Back O Man"
Senior Class Holst
Turn back O man, forswear thy foolish ways, Old now is Earth, and none may count her days, Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame, Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim "Turn back O man, forswear thy foolish ways!"
Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise, Age after age their tragic empires rise. Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep. Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise.
Earth shall be fair, and all her people one, Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done. Now, even now, once more from earth to sky Peal forth in joy man's old undaunted cry "Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one!"

vocational needs of young people. As the Henry O. Peabody School was founded for just that purpose, we are at this time exploring the possibilities of establishing new courses of study within our present structure as far as physical facilities allow. Long-range planning, however, will be necessary for additional facilities. Voca- tional schools throughout the country are setting up many new courses, several of which are either wholly or partially supported by Federal funds.
The following subject areas are suggested for study to determine whether or not they would meet the needs of our community and those of the surrounding area: Distributive Education, Dental Assistant, Medical Assistant, Hospital Housekeeping, and Hotel Housekeeping.
This year at the request of the Norwood Hospital, we explored the possi- bility of establishing a Licensed Practical Nurses' Training course in the Henry O. Peabody School, with the expectation of affiliation with the hospital. As ade- quate physical facilities were not presently available at the school, the hospital offered to provide the laboratory for teaching the nursing arts.
Funds for establishing such a program in a vocational school come through the United States Office of Education. They cover cost of the initial equipment, instruction supplies, teachers' salaries, and State supervision of the program.
There are definite education requirements set up for the teacher-nurses, for the director of the school, and for the school's affiiliation with hospitals. Identi- fication of the program must remain with the local school authorities.
A conference was held at the Henry O. Peabody School on May 19, 1959, to consider all factors involved in the establishment of a Licensed Practical Nurses' Course. Mrs. Eleanor Fleming Connelly, R.N., Supervisor, Schools of Nursing under the Massachusetts Approving Authority for Schools of Nursing; Miss Grace Nangle, Supervisor, Practical Nurse Education, Massachusetts De- partment of Education; and Mr. Charles A. Richardson, Administrator, Norwood Hospital, met with the Director of the Henry O. Peabody School. After a thorough discussion, it was mutually agreed that we would not pursue further the plan for the inauguration of such a course in the Peabody School program at this time. Under the Department of Vocational Education, the program as orig- inally proposed must be controlled by the Norwood School Committee and directed by the Henry O. Peabody School. Inasmuch as the initial proposal was made by the Norwood Hospital, and as nearly all the physical facilities were to be furnished by it, the Norwood Hospital trustees naturally felt the control and direction of the program should be more closely allied with the wishes of the hospital. However, the Approving Authority for Schools of Nursing recognized our standards and recommended that our administration and faculty be accepted for this program. I feel assured that when physical facilities are available, we will be able to establish such a course. Further study of the needs of this area will be carried on. Perhaps the affiliation will be with several small hospitals and nursing homes. A study of the facilities required for a nursing arts labora- tory within our school may result in the rearrangement of some of our present laboratory facilities for this purpose. We feel that there are many distinct ad- vantages in being a part of a nationwide program and we welcome association with this group of educators.
