The foreign language program now begins at the third level for every child. We are employing the aural-oral method in our French instruction. Continuity at every level is projected. At the fifth level it will become selective, and only those who can cope adequately with the basic curriculum will be recipients of this program thereafter. Those not selected at this point will be able to elect the foreign language at a later date in the Junior High under the traditional presentation.
The science departments of the Junior and Senior High schools have been analyzing their program with a possible realignment of course content and offering. Science, mathematics and foreign language tools and services are enhanced and expanded by Federal funds from the National Defense Education Act of which we have taken advantage with matching funds.
We have enriched and enlarged our guidance services at the Junior and Senior high schools and both programs are operating at a high level of efficiency.
Differentiated instruction is effected at all levels in our schools. Pro- grams for the academically talented exist at the upper intermediate, Junior high and Senior high schools. Classes are effectively operating at the primary, interemediate and junior high levels for educable children and it is intended that a class for trainable children will become a reality in Norwood next year.
In the overall, Norwood has excellent educational offerings. It is our aim to further enrich and expand our curriculum and our educational environment.
Plant
The educational plant in Norwood has been valued at between seven and a half to ten million dollars, depending upon certain particular inclu- sions. A more important consideration might be, what would it cost to replace the existing physical facilities.
An on-going maintenance and repair program is a must in the light of such an extensive investment. Many of our buildings are in need of
238
TOWN OF NORWOOD
attention and this costs money. It is our intention, with your help, to effect a continuous maintenance and repair program so that we may eventually at a more moderate cost, protect this investment and at the same time provide educational buildings and classrooms of superior quality.
The new Cleveland and Prescott schools are evidence of Norwood's willingness to provide good educational facilities. The Senior High school addition, expected to be completed by September 1961 is further evidence. There will be additional building necessary in the near future. We must care for these buildings, so essential to the effectiveness of our educational program.
I would like to thank all members of the Norwood Public Schools for their cooperation, enthusiasm and willingness to perform the many and varied tasks required. And, to the members of the Norwood School Com- mittee, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent cooperation and understanding help that they have given to me. It has been a pleasure working with you in our common endeavors.

Superintendent of Schools

REPORT OF THE NORWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
I have the honor to present my fifteenth annual report as Principal of the Senior High School.
Some Highlights of the Year
For the first time a local Chapter of the National Honor Society was established at the Norwood Senior High School. Twenty top academic students were inducted into membership.
Almost $80,000 in scholarships (a new record) was awarded competi- tively by colleges and other donor groups to members of the graduating class.
Our new system of individual pupil-teacher conferences on English composition was further amended to the end that additional time for this valuable instructional activity might be available.
An additional full-time Guidance Counselor was added to the high school staff. Guidance facilities at the school now are fully approvable under State and National standards.
The annual Senior High School Science Fair had the largest number of participants and the largest attendance since its inception in 1950.
Members of the graduating class were admitted to leading colleges throughout the country - many with scholarships. Every senior who met college preparatory standards at the school was admitted to college.
Students in our Advanced Mathematics classes in National Mathematics competition were awarded the Certificate of Merit for Excellence. In this competition Norwood High School placed at approximately the 95th per- centile in a field of 5,200 high schools throughout the country.
The Yearbook of the Class of 1960 was awarded first-place honors both in the Columbia University Competition and in a competition under the sponsorship of Boston University.
For the first time in the history of the school, a local chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America was organized for business students at the school. Also during the fall and another first - A Chess Club was launched at the school with some twenty-five to thirty enthusiastic members.
In October, two members of the Senior Class were selected by competi- tive examinations as semi-finalists for National Merit Scholarship Awards. Both Skirmante Makaitis and Gintautas Liutkevicius scored in the 99th percentile in each of the seven areas covered by these tests.
A Disqnieting Situation
Whilethe record as indicated above is undeniably strong, we are nevertheless mindful that there is much more to be accomplished if the
240
TOWN OF NORWOOD
young people in our schools are to meet successfully the serious challenges of this atomic age. In this connection, most people would, I am sure, agree that the strength of a school depends beyond all else on the capabilities of its teachers. During the past year some outstanding teachers resigned from the Senior High School Faculty to accept better-paying positions elsewhere. This is a disquieting situation. Citizens interested in the schools should understand the limitations almost invariably associated with such changes.

Table #1 above shows that last November there were 770 students in grades 10, 11, and 12 at the Senior High School. Table #2 indicates that in the fall of '61 we shall have in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 1,240 students at the school. This will be an increase of 470 in the student population or of about 60 per cent. Since almost all instructional divisions at the high school now are of maximum size, in the fall to take care of this increased enroll- ment we shall need an increase of about 60 per cent in the number of divisions and consequently in the number of teachers for these divisions.
A Look Ahead
As the year draws to a close, we are giving much time and thought to organizing the new four-year high school which, with the completion of the thirty-four room addition to the existing structure, will be ready for our young people in September. For the first time in many years we shall have the physical facilities necessary to house our enrollment adequately and to make possible a vigorous, on-going educational program specifically geared to the needs of youth. The prospect is indeed appealing. It can mean much to Norwood's young people in the years ahead.
241
In Conclusion
Thanks are due to Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Crawford of 103 Elliot Street, who so generously have provided a home in Norwood for our foreign exchange student of the year. Many other people and organizations in countless ways have aided our educational efforts throughout the year. To all of them we owe a debt of gratitude. Particularly do we appreciate the leadership and cooperation of Mr. Lincoln D. Lynch, Superintendent of Schools, and of his successor, Dr. Philip O. Coakley.
As usual this report will close with a copy of the program followed at the graduation exercises last June and with a list of those students who received special honors on that occasion.

Oh, we love the halls of ivy that surround us here today And we will not forget tho' we be far, far away. To the hallow'd halls of ivy ev'ry voice will bid farewell And shimmer off in twilight like the old vesper bell
One day a hush will fall, The footsteps of us all will echo down the hall and disappear, But as we sadly start our journeys far apart, A part of ev'ry heart will linger here.
In the sacred halls of ivy where we've lived and learned to know, That thro' the years we'll see you in the sweet afterglow.

We cheered from year to year.
The joys we shared will always be A treasured memory.
Now the hour is here, we have naught to fear, Our future lies ahead.
Inspired to climb to heights sublime
By our teachers we were led. Our hearts will fly like a homing dove Wherever we chance to go.
To the only school that we love, To our dear old Norwood High.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE H. O. PEABODY SCHOOL
I hereby present my nineteenth report of the Henry O. Peabody School. As the school nears the completion of the second decade of its establish- ment, I am happy to report the addition of an important new department- the Practical Nurse Education Program.
The success of the Practical Nurse Education Program in the voca- tional schools throughout the country prompted us to again consider all the factors involved in establishing such a program in the Henry O. Peabody School this year.
Our Business Department has been enlarged this year to include an accelerated course in secretarial training for high school graduates of college preparatory courses.
The Foods Service course has been expanded to include the services of Mr. George Cole, a chef-instructor.
The over-all school enrollment has increased appreciably this year, especially on a post high-school level. It represents twenty-nine towns

including Norwood. The number of Norwood students cnrolled indicates that there is a growing awareness of and appreciation for the quality and variety of the programs offered at the Henry O. Peabody School. The total enrollment for 1960-1961 is 133 students.
With the Peabody Fund and monies from Non-resident tuition and State aid to vocational schools, we are able to offer quality programs of excellent value.
Our present status may be compared to five separate schools within a school. The physical facilities of the school are now taxed to their fullest capacity by the existing offerings. If the progressive changes which have been put into effect this year can safely be considered an indication of the demands the community will make upon us in the near future for further expansion, it is time to begin serious consideration of a building program for the Henry O. Peabody School.
The Practical Nurse Education Program is a tuition-free course of fifteen months' duration - five months of which are spent in the classroom laboratory of the Henry O. Peabody School and ten months in affiliation with the Norwood Hospital.
The following individuals kindly accepted membership on the Advisory Board for the year 1960-61. Mr. Charles A. Richardson, Administrator, Norwood Hospital; Dr. Louis Sieracki, Chief Medical Staff, Norwood Hospital; Mr. Frederick Welch, Guidance Teacher, Canton High School; and Miss Shirley Dearborn, Executive Director, Dedham Visiting Nurse Association.
We appreciate the cooperation of the Norwood Hospital and recognize the contribution it will make. We consider it a privilege to be associated with such a fine institution.
Placement for our business school graduates is excellent. The many requests for graduates of the Peabody School Business Department indicates the number and type of jobs available to young people in this area. Place- ment calls still exceed the graduates available. We welcome inquiry into our records of placement and job success.
Job opportunities in the foods-field are always plentiful. The interest of prominent men in the industry who recognize our training gives the needed guidance to place our graduates where there will be opportunity for advancement.
It may be of interest to note some of the types of cstablishments which presently employ our graduates.

The Fashion Course graduates do very well. All are placed this year, and performing successfully on their jobs.
Fashion drawing; layout; pattern drafting; crafts, such as hand weaving, decorative arts, and the study of textiles, are all facets of this program.
The Beauty Culture course continues to attract the greatest number of students, and it has become necessary to limit the number accepted. A steady demand for our graduates, a fine placement record in many leading salons, and the prestige which a state license gives to the course, all con- tribute to its popularity.
A program for visitors was planned this year by the Director and faculty of the Henry O. Peabody School for Guidance Directors and students of neighboring high schools.
A schedule was arranged for groups of guidance directors and students to visit classes, to observe activities, and to become acquainted with our curriculum and program.
Interest being shown in the types of career training offered by the Henry O. Peabody School has prompted the School to acquaint Guidance Directors with courses of study to be made available in the near future.
The potential of the Henry O. Peabody School is immeasurable, and the school is a definite educational asset to Norwood and the surrounding area.
May I express my appreciation to the faculty of the Henry O. Peabody School and to all who have contributed to making this year a success. I wish at this time to acknowledge the leadership and inspiration given to us through the years by our former Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Lincoln D. Lynch, who retired in July, 1960. I also wish success to our new Superin- tendent of Schools, Dr. Philip O. Coakley, whose cooperation and appre- ciation of our endeavor is already manifest.

REPORT OF THE NORWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
I herewith present my twenty-first annual report as principal of Norwood Junior High School.
Our enrollment has risen to slightly more than one thousand pupils. This increasing school population has forced us to abandon some of our desirable facilities such as a separate room for resource materials which we provided for our students. Because of the need for space, one teacher is without a permanent classroom and the band room is no longer available to members for practice as that room is used for regular classes. The use of our library has been further curtailed since one portion of it is used as a classroom. We do, however, provide for full use of our library during the noon hour, as well as at the close of the school day for pupils who wish to study, to read, or to borrow books.
