MUSIC
Nahum P. Gillespie, Supervisor Junior-Senior High School
"Music is a part of good living, and every child must have Music for a richer Life."

ANNUAL REPORT
In your Plainville Schools, Junior High comprises Grades 6, 7 and 8. In these three grades of teen-age boys and girls we present songs in various moods, and rhythms, thereby filling their demand for variety. With this thought in mind it is my hope that in the not too distant future we may introduce the beautiful new series of American Music Books. These books are most attractive presenting a diversified repertoire of fine American Songs interspersed with songs of other countries. We try to expose these children to good music, not necessarily "high brow," with the hope that in their home life as they sit by the Radio, or Television, they will have learned to discriminate in evaluating good music from the inferior type.
The beautiful new school building presents a challenge to teacher and pupil to give of our best to develop and enlarge the musical program of the Plainville Schools.
At present Music in the High School is an elective subject. We have a Girls' Glee Club of twenty-five voices. We re- hearse one period a week with one extra period for those who are free to attend. During these rehearsals we work up programs so as to be ready on call from Mr. Wolcott for what- ever occasion a program may be required, such as special assemblies, etc. Our first public appearance this fall was at Open House exercises at the new school.
I regret it has been difficult to get boys who are seriously interested in music to join. Some boys still feel they will be branded a "sissy." We must try to make them realize that music is as an essential part of their masculine life as football.
At the opening of the school year, the Glee Club and I were very sorry to learn we had lost our good accompanist, Mrs. Millet as she had accepted a position elsewhere. After going along without one for sometime we were fortunate in securing Mrs. Alden Smith, who has graciously consented to act in this capacity.
The friendliness and cooperation of Mr. Nourse, Mr. Wolcott and teachers, as well as the parents, with whom I have come in contact, has made my work the past year, a pleasure.

MUSIC
Harriet F. Washburn, Supervisor Primary School
In making my annual report, I must first express my ap- preciation for the wonderful cooperation given by the teachers and children in the music work. That cooperation is the first requisite in the teaching of a cultural subject.
Our work progresses from year to year in a satisfactory way as does the ability of the children to absorb what is taught them. We sing by rote and by reading notes in one or two parts. We do rhythm work, which consists of the funda- mental rhythms of basic natural movements such as walking, running, skipping or hopping with variations and combina- tions, using the tom-tom, the piano, or a planned record to mark the rhythm; the dramatized rhythms, those which accom- pany the dramatization of nursery rhymes, music or songs; and folk dances and singing games which are the natural devel- opment of the first two. We recognize and enjoy a number of fine musical compositions which are available on records.
All of this work requires attentive listening and concentra- tion, both necessary to successful accomplishment.
The new school is certainly a joy in which to work and the assembly hall gives us plenty of room to do our rhythm work. However, we all, teachers and children alike, greatly miss the pianos which used to be a part of the equipment of each room. We hope they will soon be put in the rooms where they will be of great assistance in the music work.
For your continued interest, Mr. Nourse, I am grateful.
SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Dr. John T. Cotter
The annual examination of the students in the Plainville schools is nearly completed.
To date no serious illness or physical defects have been noted. The health of the students is good. The usual number of diseased tonsils has been observed and parents notified. The condition of the children's teeth remains about the same or
74
ANNUAL REPORT
in a few instances improved. There were three cases of Athletes' foot detected.
In the spring of 1951 the pre-school clinic was held and was well-attended.
Also in the spring a clinic offering immunization against diptheria, lock-jaw and whooping cough was held and only one baby was immunized. It would seem that this service was no longer desired in Plainville as the number of children attending in the last three years is very small.
It is planned to carry out the usual spring program again this year.
The School Board is to be complimented on the arrange- ments provided for our work in the new building. When equipment is obtained, I am sure our facilities will be the finest available.
Proposal for examination of students under the revised State Law:
1. Examine all children in the second, fourth, sixth and eighth grades in grammar school and sophomores and seniors in High school each year.
2. Examine all athletes annually.
3. Examine all cases which the teachers in the odd grades find are problems.
4. Usual pre-school examination of children who are to enter school the following September.
I wish to thank Mrs. Claudy for her able assistance to me.
SCHOOL NURSE
Janet W. Claudy, R.N.
During the spring months a series of immunization clinics was held. At this time, all those eligible were given protective innoculations for tetanus, whooping cough and diphtheria.
A pre-school clinic was conducted in May for all prospec- tive first-graders. Dr. Cotter was present to suggest the correction of any existing physical defects which his physical
75
ANNUAL REPORT
examinations revealed. Following physical inspection, and enrollment, the P.T.A. served hot coffee and doughnuts, and parents and children were given the opportunity to meet various school officials who explained to them the necessary regulations affecting a pre-school child.
At the time of this writing, Dr. Cotter has completed his annual physical examinations on all Junior-Senior High School students. Similar examinations are in progress on the Pri- mary pupils. Vision and hearing tests are being conducted on each child. At the conclusion of these various examinations, parents will be notified of any impairment.
Early in the school year, members of the senior class re- ceived chest X-rays.
Miss Elna Perkins, Director of Health Education for the Norfolk County Health Association met with school personnel, parents and various residents of the town to discuss problems of health which might affect the school child. By acceptance of her valuable suggestions, it is hoped that we may achieve a higher standard of health in our school system.
I should like to thank Dr. Cotter, Mr. Nourse, Mr. Wolcott and members of the teaching staff for their excellent coopera- tion in our school health program.
I should like also to express my gratitude to members of the School Planning Committee for making Plainville's "Health Unit" a reality.
Closing
The past year has been a happy and proud milestone in the history of the Plainville schools. All concerned with the opera- tion of the schools have given loyally their best efforts. Ex- tensive time and study by the School Committee and the Plan- ning Committee have made possible the completion of the new school and the satisfactory solution of the many problems aris- ing from the new organization.

PLAINVILLE'S FIRST SCHOOL By RUFUS KING
The original Plainville school was built on land given to the Town of Wrentham by Capt. John Cheever, with proviso that if abandoned for school purposes, it would revert to the Cheever Estate.
The earlier information regarding the school was 1845, with Chauncy Fuller as Teacher. He was a great uncle of Miss Jessie Fuller, Mrs. Mabel Fuller Hoffman and Mrs. Leila Fuller Grant.
In 1864 I first attended the school. I had the following teachers: Miss F. A. Blake of Wampum, Miss Susan Gerould of Plainville, Mrs. Dexter Hemenway of Wampum and Miss Ellen Martin of Providence, R. I.
About 1872 George Mason bought the building from the Town of Wrentham and moved it across the street for a home. A good part of the original building is intact and is occupied now by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Quirk.
1875 Francis Young bought the land, where the original school was located, from Capt. John Cheever and the house built on this land is now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McQuade. The only landmark is a large Elm tree on the north-west corner of the land.
From memories and a few substantials furnished, Percy Ball, North Attleboro's well-known artist, portrayed the old building and surroundings. The result shows what vision, skill and perfect command of paint and brush can do-a reproduction almost unbelievable.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE PLAINVILLE SCHOOL PLANNING COMMITTEE
December 31, 1951
To the Citizens of Plainville:
The Plainville School Planning Committee came into being after the regular Town Meeting in March 1946. After much careful planning a Special Town Meeting was held February 20, 1950 and the sum of $5,000.00 was appropriated to secure preliminary plans for a school building, and $3,500 for the purchase of land to be used as a school site. Also, the gift of land from Leon E. and Ellen C. Smith was accepted at this meeting.
Mr. Harry J. Korslund of Norwood, Mass., was secured as architect and the committee worked with him weekly per- fecting plans for the building.
On April 10, 1950 another Special Town Meeting was held and the sum of $365,000.00 was raised and appropriated for the purpose of constructing a school building.
On September 21, 1950 in the Town Hall, bids were opened by the School Planning Committee on the proposed new Elementary School Building and on September 27, 1950, the contract with J. F. Rand & Son, Contractor, was signed by the committee.
Because of the increased costs, due to the Korean situation, the original amount for the building proved to be insufficient and on October 23 another Special Town Meeting was held to raise an additional $15,000, making the total amount, includ- ing the amount in the Post-War Rehabilitation Account and the Preliminary Plans, $400,000.00, for building and equipping the school.
On October 5, 1950 excavations were made and work started on the building. Although the building was not com- plete it was possible to open school in the new Elementary
87
ANNUAL REPORT
Building on September 24, 1950, and the gymnasium-audi- torium has been in use since November.
The final payment has not been made to the contractor as yet, but the committee felt that the townspeople should have a financial report to December 31, 1951. The following is a statement of expenditures, a more detailed report will be submitted on the completion of the building.
