REPORT OF PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL Mr. A. O. Christiansen, Superintendent of Schools.


The schools are the cornerstones of government and society and they are the makers of our future citizens. The proper training of American youth is the surest guarantee for the security of America.


This process of education of necessity emphasizes three important points,-character, scholarship and physical training. To secure desired results in these three specific lines, the tax payers of the town during the past year have assumed a burden of over $100,000.

NINETY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT


It is only natural that they should wish for proper re- turns from this expenditure.


To measure up to the standards of modern re- quirements a High School should prepare boys and girls for a successful career in the business world or for entrance by examination to higher institutions of learn- ing. As regards the number and qualifications of teachers, the Randolph High School meets these re- quirements admirably. It has ten properly qualified teachers besides the principal for the instruction of less than three hundred pupils.


It has in the Senior High School three well ar- ranged courses-academic, commercial, and general, as a preparation for colleges, business and Normal Schools. The present organization achieving proper scholastic and disciplinary results continues the Stet- son High School among the better institutions of its kind in the commonwealth.


The excellent results obtained in the Junior High School deserve special mention. The thorough work and sincere co-operation of the seven efficient teachers in this school have proven most important factors in the successful administration of school affairs.


An important feature in all grades of school work is the general attitude, and spirit of the pupils. It is only fair to state that our High School has this atti- tude and that the spirit is excellent.


The great majority of the pupils seem anxious to do their best and to justify the confidence placed in them. Instructions sent out by the principal in regard to the care and preservation of school property, regu- larity and punctuality of attendance, careful prepara- tion of school work, and various matters of school dis-


144


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


cipline have all received the cheerful co-operation of the student body.


It is only proper that pupils of High School age should realize that they make their own record. No pupil can graduate unless he has obtained a passing grade of at least fifteen units of prepared work. No pupil can take part in athletic contests unless his scho- lastic standing, general deportment, and attendance record are all satisfactory.


The High School assemblies have been conducted with the view of impressing upon students the serious- ness and value of a High School education. These occasions may offer something of entertainment but their chief purpose should be to inspire students to greater effort for higher ideals.


The past year "The Tercentenary Anniversary of the Settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony," has been observed by special programs in the school. Dec- lamations, essays and various exercises have helped to portray the growth and value of our institutions from the Colonial Period to the present time. Persons com- petent to judge have complimented the students in the excellence of their work.


In conclusion I wish to emphasize the fact that a thorough check has been kept on the use of all supplies. Lists of books and materials ordered, and on hand, and the amounts used in each room have been carefully filed and are available for inspection.


The sincere attitude of the school committee has inspired us to exert our humble efforts towards the fulfillment of their educational desires.


Respectfully submitted,


WARREN J. SWETT, Principal.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS. REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE


Mr. A. O. Christiansen,


Superintendent of Schools.


I hereby submit a tabulated report of my activities from January 1st, 1930, to December 31st, 1930:


All grade pupils have been weighed three times. High School pupils have been weighed once.


Pupils in all schools under weight, 105.


Home calls for truancy and illness from Sept. to June, 374.


Home calls for illness from Sept. 1st to Dec. 31st, 84.


Pupils X-rayed in January, 14.


Pupils X-rayed in March, 6.


Pupils examined and tests read, 4. (These ex- aminations were held at the Ladies Library Association) .


Pupils recommended for Braintree Camp, 4.


Pupils attending Camp in Braintree, 3.


Pupils sent home with impetigo, 37.


Pupils sent home with pediculosis, 40.


Intelligence test was given for children who were retained below their grades because of illness or other reasons. Some of these children have been put in special classes in order that they may brought up to their re- spective grades by special attention to their background subjects.


Dr. Higgins examined all the boys and girls on the basketball teams before they were permitted to play. Each one was found to be in good condition.


149


NINETY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT


At the pre-school clinics, which were held in North Randolph, Tower Hill, Prescott and Belcher Schools, 84 children were given careful examinations by Dr. Higgins, and each child's defects discussed with his parents. In most cases defects have been remedied by the removal of tonsils and adenoids, and in many instances dental work has been done.


The Health Day program was held on Stetson High School grounds. The afternoon was set aside by the School Committee for parents and the public to view the demonstrations of physical exercises which are a regular part of the daily school routine. Grades 1 to 7 in all the schools took part in the exercises.


In September a "Clean-teeth" Campaign was started, and a health poster offered to the room first attaining a 100 per cent record. This poster was awarded the second week of the campaign to Grade 6, Prescott School (Mrs. Cormey's room). This grade continued to win a poster each week until Grade 5 (Miss Murphy's room), of the same building finally captured it. At the time of the examination by local dentists many rooms had reached the 100 per cent mark. Belcher School, led; North Ran- dolph, second; and Prescott School, third.


The mouths of practically all the school children are receiving constant attention by our local dentists, Drs. Smith, Maguire and Ames. A part of this work is done in the offices of these dentists. It is earnestly hoped that this splendid work will become a permanent feature of our health program.


At Christmas time, through the generosity of the people and several organziations here, the worthy needy of the town, especially where there were children, were


150


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


most generously cared for with food and clothing. These children were made very happy by the generous gifts of toys and candy supplied by several manufacturers, the local Red Cross and the Ladies' Library Association. I feel, too, that these various organizations have done much to keep the children in school.


At this time I would like to thank the Chairman, Miss Fannie Knight of the Christmas Seal Sale, for $10.00 for free milk, and $10.00 to be awarded to the dental clinic when it is established. I also wish to thank the Red Cross for $10.00 which was given for dental work. The firemen of Randolph turned over a dance profit of $50.00 which is now being used as needed. They also collected, repaired and painted toys for the children in Randolph. Over 150 children have thus been remem- bered and over 50 baskets of food distributed.


In closing my report I wish to thank all who have helped to make my work a success.


Respectfully submitted,


MRS. JESSICA V. MITCHELL.


REPORT OF THE DRAWING SUPERVISOR


Mr. A. O. Christiansen,


Superintendent of Schools.


I am submitting herewith my report of four months' work in the schools of Randolph.


All grades, one to eight inclusive, are visited once in every two weeks at which time an individual four weeks drawing outline is submitted to each teacher. It has been my aim to teach thoroughly those subjects


151


NINETY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT


which could be covered in the time given to drawing, namely: nature work, object drawing, construction, design and color and picture study.


Drawing in the high school is elective and divided into two parts, freehand and mechanical. In freehand, considering the fact that the student spends only one period a week in class work, the course of study is arranged to broaden students in as many branches of design as possible. In this group special interest is centered on design, poster and commercial work. The mechanical class has progressed from simple three view working drawings to more complex plates dealing with the elements and details of machine design.


I would like to express my appreciation to the teachers of the town for their helpful attitude and faithful support in my work. I would also like to thank the superintendent for his interest and assist- ance.


Respectfully submitted,


CLARE SULLIVAN, Supervisor of Drawing.


REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR


Mr. A. O. Christiansen,


Superintendent of Schools.


The interest in music has been well maintained during the past year.


Good progress has been made and much ground has been covered with a thoroughness that is produc- tive of good results.


152


1


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


On account of the large number of pupils in the High School classes, it seems advisable to devote a second period in music once a week for the benefit of the Freshmen and Sophomore classes.


The High School band has resumed its lessons under a competent instructor and is receiving the hearty co-operation of Mr. Swett, our high school prin- cipal. It is earnestly desired that this band will be well supported and receive the best of co-operation from parents and all interested in a high school band.


Respectfully submitted,

PUBLIC LIBRARY


To the Citizens of Randolph :


Pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 of the By- laws of The Turner Free Library this, the fifty-fifth an- nual report is submitted, showing the condition of the trust, consisting of the building, library and funds, to- gether with the reports of the Librarian and Treasurer and so much of the reports submitted to the Trustees by the various committees as seems of general interest.


The Library Committe reports that the books,


154


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


charts and furnishings are in good condition. All books belonging to the library were accounted for by the Li- brarian.


The Building Committee reports that a large amount of work has been done upon both the exterior and in- terior of the building, the principal item being the reno- vation of the entrance hall. The whole of this has been cleaned, the plaster of the walls and ceiling has been washed and tinted, the walls have been newly painted, the woodwork and floors refinished, and there have been furthe rminor repairs and changes. There have been repairs to the roof and the iron grill work there which seemed likely to become a source of danger has been taken down.


A renovation of the delivery room, reading room and reference room, similar to that carried out in the en- trance hall is urgently needed. The trustees have made an investigation of the probable cost of this and an ap- propriation of $1,000.00 is requested for the same, and for such other exterior and interior repairs as may from time to time be necessary.


The Trustees have for some time had in mind the desirability of improving the plot of land in front of the building by providing a driveway of semi-circular type and walks leading to the front entrances of the library, and of the two stores on the ground floor, with grass plots covering the remaining portions. They feel that to do this would not only afford a much more convenient access to the library and stores, tending to eliminate the muddy and slippery conditions which now prevail in bad weather, but would also greatly enhance the appearance and dignity of the building and its surroundings. They have looked into the probable cost of this work and an appropriation of $1,150.00 is requested for this purpose.


The Librarian's report shows interesting and valu- able gifts of books during the year, including a very


155


-


NINETY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT


substantial gift from Mr. L. Dwight Granger of sets of standard works and bound magazines from the private library of his father, the late Dr. Frank C. Granger, who was for many years a valued member of the board of trustees, and the trustees desire to express their very sincere appreciation of all of these gifts.


The trustees also wish to express their appreciation of the loyal and efficient services rendered by Miss Sarah C. Belcher, the Librarian, who retired during the year, and of Miss Eunice L. Belcher as Assistant Librarian and as succeeding Librarian.


The report of the Librarian showing in detail the doings, management and results of the various depart- ments of the Library, the report of the Treasurer show- ing the investment of the funds and the receipts and ex- penditures of the Library, and the report of the Finance Committee are hereunto subjoined.
