ANNUAL REPORT
We sincerely hope that parents will make an effort to attend these assemblies, as an audience is a great incentive to the children.
Financial Activities
Our financial activities were about the same as in the past.
Our annual sale of seeds added a considerable sum to our school fund.
Pencils for the yearly Tuberculosis Fund Drive were sold in large numbers.
The annual Junior Red Cross campaign resulted in 100% enrollment of pupils in all grades but one.
We are hopeful that before to long the Primary School pupils will be installed in the new school. Certainly these hard working youngsters deserve a new setting and the increased opportunities such a setting will provide.
My thanks and appreciation to all of our teachers for their cooperation and untiring efforts in behalf of the children.
They join me in extending to you, Mr. Nourse, and to the members of the School Committee, our thanks for your continued interest and consideration.
ART
Louise B. Spier, Supervisor
"To produce a work of Art, you must first master the art of work."
Thirteen of our Plainville pupils from the 6th grade up through high school worked hard enough to produce 15 works of Art. These paintings were sent to the American Junior Red Cross for the International School Art Exchange Program
87
ANNUAL REPORT
in which 14 foreign countries participated. In connection with this International Art program, we had two sets of slides, obtained through the Eastern Arts Association. The first set, in October was a group of 50 slides showing American school children's work of the 1947-48 series from all over the United States. The second set, in November included 46 slides of the work of foreign children from Greece, Venezuela, Sweden and Austria as well as 50 additional slides of more recent date of the work of American children. These were most interesting and instructive, showing differences in techniques and customs. Children in the 4th grade up through the 8th saw these slides.
Last January, all of the pupils had the opportunity to see an Eastern Arts Association traveling exhibition, "Creative Education in a Democracy." It consisted of 22 large panels of children's work showing the relationship of art to other subject fields.
At Open House, on November 9th, during American Education Week, samples of art work from grade 1 up through grade 8 and craft work of the high school students was exhibited in the Town Hall especially for parents and visitors.
The results of the Annual Animal Poster Contest con- ducted by the Massachusetts S.P.C.A. were announced as follows:
1st Prize, Silver Pin :- Betty Jensen, High School Anne Kilham, Grade 7
2nd Prize, Bronze Pin :- Lois Wilson, High School Rodger Morse, Grade 8 Helen McGowan, Grade 6
Honorable Mention :- (a year's subscription to Dumb Animals) Carol Rogers David Grant
As a Junior Red Cross project, the children of grades 4 and 5 have made holiday nut cups for Valentine's Day, Wash- ington's Birthday, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas for the Veterans Hospital. The children have en-
88
ANNUAL REPORT
joyed doing this work and the veterans are most apprecia- tive of their efforts.
The school report cover, a linoleum print was designed and the block cut by Betty Jensen who also printed them with the assistance of Raymond Fulton.
The course of study for art has been followed as usual throughout the grades. In the high school there are no pupils taking art this fall. There is a small craft class. They have made articles of leather. The mechanical drawing class is comprised entirely of beginning students. It is hoped that they will gain a rudimentary knowledge of the subject, develop sufficient interest to continue throughout their school life and perhaps some pursue it as a profession.
I wish to express my sincere thanks for the cooperation of the teachers, principals, and superintendent.
MUSIC
Nahum P. Gillespie, Supervisor Junior-Senior High School
With the opening of the School Year in September a longer session had been arranged for me in the Junior and Senior High Schools. As a result in addition to my regular schedule of classes, I have a period which I am able to devote to many different musical requirements which develop throughout a year. First, I was able to hold private interviews with each student, listening to their voices, discovering any special talent, getting better acquainted with the child.
The Junior High School level is a very critical and im- portant phase of a child's life. It is during this period that he begins to develop and grow as an individual. He begins to cultivate likes and dislikes which may continue throughout his life. Hence it is the duty of a music teacher to try and in- still in the child a sincere love and appreciation of fine music by endeavoring to present the subject in an interesting, ap- pealing, and enthusiastic manner. Changing voices is a vital
89
ANNUAL REPORT
problem of the Junior High Student, and through this extra time I am able to check this condition from time to time. Music should be presented to these adolescent children as a beautiful and important part of living, and not as a dull and tiresome subject inflicted upon them.
At the beginning of the school year I was permitted to purchase copies of "Sing Along" a new book of World Famous Songs edited by Dr. Harry Wilson, Professor of Music Educa- tion, Columbia University. They were introduced by Dr. Wil- son himself at Boston University Summer School, whose class- es I attended this past summer. The students are apparently enjoying them immensely. These are used in addition to other text books.
On Wednesday evening, December 6th some forty stu- dents acompanied by Miss Thelma Edmunds, Mrs. June Mill- ette, Mrs. Gillespie and myself, made the trip to Boston to wit- ness another splendid Gilbert-Sullivan performance of "Ruddigore" presented by the College of Music Students of Boston University. This was held in the beautiful new John Hancock Insurance Company's Hall in their new building. The comments from the students as they left for Plainville were very gratifying, as they all said "It was great." It was a professional performance, beautiful ensemble and solo sing- ing together with a riot of color in the various costumes, enhanced by the latest in superb lighting effects. The objective of such a trip, of course, is to have the student return home filled with new enthusiasm to do better work themselves. It is gratifying to have in a Principal, Mr. Wolcott, who realizes this and is anxious to cooperate in every way.
Sometime in November I was asked by Mrs. Wickman, Program Chairman of the P .. T. A. if I would take care of the entertainment of the December 11th P. T. A. meeting. On Monday, December 11, in the Town Hall the Junior and Senior High School students presented a Christmas Pageant. Assisted by a chorus of sixty selected voices, some well known and some not so well known carols were sung. The story of the Manger was well portrayed by a capable cast of characters. A Pageant of this type always stimuates the creative powers in the students. This was brought out in regard to selections for costumes, scenery, and even acting. A good sized audience demonstrated community interest. One of the most important issues in holding the student's interest in school activities.
90
ANNUAL REPORT
The cooperation of the students in their respective assign- ments in the Pageant and the willing help of the teachers was most gratifying.
May I close by extending to Superintendent Nourse, Mr. Wolcott, and all teachers a sincere thank you for their friend- liness and good will.
MUSIC
Harriet F. Washburn, Supervisor Primary School
Teaching music can be a soul satisfying experience not only to the teacher, but to the children as well. I try to make my visits to the Primary grade children interesting, so that our bi-monthly meetings are anticipated by them and by me. With singing, listening and rhythmic activities to use, variety in presentation is given, so that each child enjoys at least one type of music.
With rhythm work and group singing, coordination of the individual and teamwork of the group begin, both of which carry over into life; which, after all, is the purpose of education.
The first grade children learn to listen, which is difficult at first, and soon they learn to sing and respond to rhythms. In grades one and two, singing games are entered into with pleasure, and many rote songs are learned.
Since we are fortunate in having Mrs. Lyford, an accom- plished musician, as third grade teacher, we specialize in Rhythm band work in that room, a culmination of the pre- paratory work done in the first two grades. Concentration and cooperation help to make this work sucessful.
The fourth graders have gone ahead speedily this year, in that they can sing two part music and do it well. Mrs. Grant's enthusiasm, interest and understanding pay off in big dividends.
The fifth graders do very good work in two part music and are learning to do it at sight, all of which gives them a good foundation for their work in the upper grades.
91
ANNUAL REPORT
This past year has been a successful one in many ways, the children show a definite pleasure in actively taking part in whatever is asked of them whether it be singing, listening, dancing, marching or rhythm band work.
Aside from our regular participation in various holiday programs, we presented a selection of dances, singing games, songs and rhythm band at the Spring Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation. The audience enjoyed the program and have asked us to give another one this next Spring.
Because of the real interest and cooperation of the teachers and pupils, the music in the Primary School has taken a decided step forward this year.
For your continued interest, Mr. Nourse, I am indeed grateful.
SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Dr. John T. Cotter
The annual examination of the children of the Plain- ville schools is in progress, and is nearly completed. The gen- eral health of the children is good.
In a few cases tonsillectomy was recommended.
The condition of the childrens teeth, as far as gross defects is concerned, has improved considerably, and the parents have been very cooperative in following up on the suggestions.
The pre-school examination of candidates for entrance to school in the spring was well attended.
The diptheria clinic was held in the spring and was poorly attended.
I would like to recommend that the School Committee consider, when the facilities of the new school are available
92
ANNUAL REPORT
that the students be given biennial examinations, which with better accommodations could be more thorough. This program has been in effect in all of the surrounding communities for several years, and is proving very satisfactory.
I wish to thank Mrs. Claudy for her able assistance to me.
SCHOOL NURSE Janet W. Claudy, R.N.
A series of diptheria clinics was held in the early spring. All those who were eligible received diptheria immunization. The annual pre-school clinic was conducted, and at this time, all children planning to enter first grade the following fall received examination. Physical impairments were noted, and parents were notified, so that these defects might be corrected before the opening of school.
During the month of November all members of the senior class received chest X-rays. Faculty and all school personnel are to receive chest X-rays later this year.
The annual height-weight record of each child has been completed. Hearing and vision tests are in progress at present.
The school physician is conducting his yearly physical examinations. Parents will be notified of any existing defect.
I should like to thank Dr. Cotter, Mr. Nourse, Mr. Wolcott, Miss Wood and all members of the teaching staff for their excellent co-operation in our school health program.
Closing
The past year has been one of definite progress for the Plainville Schools. The professional interest and sincere efforts of the school staff combined with the earnest and con- tinuous support of the school committee have made this pro- gress possible.
Respectfully submitted,
LAURENCE G. NOURSE, Superintendent
