NO SCHOOL SIGNALS


7:15 A.M .- 3 blasts of the Hayward Mill whistle, repeated- No school in all schools-All day.


11:30 A.M .- 3 basts of the Hayward Mill whistle, repeated- One session, in which case schools will close at 12:15 PM. 7:00 A.M .- 7:28 AM .- 7:45 AM .- 8:15 AM .- WTAG broadcast of "no school" bulletins.


Since weather reports are not always reliable, and because the school department wishes to render maximum educational service by having schools open the greatest number of days, storm signals will not be used when there is reasonable doubt. Weather conditions may warrant the non-attendance of certain pupils who at the moment lack normal health. This would tend to make it advisable for par- ents to keep the child at home.


Good health is essential to sound education. Care for your child's health by keeping him at home when in your opinion as a parent his health interest would be best served.


For admission to the first grade in the schools of Douglas, the parent or guardian must present a birth certificate showing that the pupil is at least five years, nine months old on September 1st of the current year.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

I respectfully submit my fourth annual report as Superin- tendent of Schools for the year ending December 31, 1959.

Ability Grouping


In the elementary as well as the secondary school, those students with a wide range of ability should be grouped according to ability subject by subject in the secondary school. For example, in English, American History, 9th Grade Algebra, Biology, and Physical Sciences. There should be at least three types of classes-one for the more able in the subject, another for the large group whose ability is about average, and another for the very slow reader who should be handled by special teachers. In the elementary school the same procedure should be followed under a single teacher. This type of grouping is not to be confused with across-the-board grouping according to which a given student is placed in a particular section in all courses. Under this plan, a student may be in the top section in Mathematics but the middle section in English or Science.


Ability grouping is a controversial subject and many educators argue for heterogeneous grouping, they argue that students of widely different academic abilities should be in the same class but if we are to prepare each student to the maximum of his ability I feel this can be done to a higher degree with ability grouping.


OUR HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT


There should be an established goal or policy for future planning in our high school. I shall attempt to list some of the criteria that should be used in judging and planning for the future.


Next September we shall have the largest enrollment in the

High School in the history of the Town. The enrollment over the last five years is listed below:

220


1957

1960


267 Estimated


An additional teacher will be necessary to handle this increased enrollment plus another classroom.


I recommend to the School Committee that for the school year 1960-61 that a teacher be transferred from the Elementary School to the Junior High section. This will make a saving in the salary account. The following year an additional teacher will be needed in the Elementary School to replace the one moved to the Junior High.


FOREIGN LANGUAGES


I feel that no teacher of foreign languages admits that anything approaching mastery could be obtained by the study of a foreign language for only two years in high school, nor have the students felt that two years of study had given them any real working knowl- edge of the language. Four years of study, on the other hand, will yield dividends for those capable of handling the foreign languages. Too many students with limited ability are studying a foreign language for two years; too few able students are studying one language long enough. A third and fourth year of a foreign language should be offered no matter how few students are enrolled.


In the Junior High, two years of conversational French is being required of all capable students, to build up a vocabulary and an appreciation of the language so that in the first year of high school instruction can be carried on in a limited degree in the elected language. We have tried this year the teaching of French in grades 4 and 5 by the media of television. The effectiveness of this program will have to wait an evaluation until the program has been in force a longer period of time.


BUILDING MAINTENANCE


During the past year many improvements have been made in the Douglas Schools. A partial list is given below:


1. Fluorescent lights in the Senior High School.


2. Asphalt tile floor in the corridor of East Douglas Elementary School.


9


TOWN OF DOUGLAS


3. Painted walls and ceilings of junior high classrooms and Superintendent's office.


4. New oil pumping system at High School.


5. Created an additional classroom at East Douglas Elementary School.


6. New tables and chairs in cafeteria in basement of Town Hall. This was possible with the financial help of the Board of Selectmen.


HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING


In September 1960 the Junior High school will need a minimum of four classrooms, an increase of one, besides use of home economics and shop rooms. There will be at least two seventh and two eighth grade classes. This means the taking away from the Senior High one classroom which will necessitate using the auditorium as a study hall and the library as a classroom, which was against the general planning when the addition to the High School was built.


CAFETERIA


This fall the hot lunch program was extended to include the pupils of the Douglas Center School. Through the cooperation of Mrs. Mary Kelly and her assistants a well balanced and appealing menu was presented. The pupil participation has been very high, making it possible to maintain the cafeteria without financial help from the Town.


This program has had, I feel, a beneficial effect on the students and created a situation conducive to better study habits.


I wish to thank the members of the School Committee and faculty of the School Department for their very fine cooperation, without which little could be accomplished. I also desire to acknowl- edge the support and help of the Town officials, parents, community organizations and custodial staff which are gratefully received.


Respectfully submitted,


H. DEANE HOYT Superintendent of Schools

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT


REPORT OF PRINCIPAL DOUGLAS MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL


To the Superintendent of Schools:


I herewith submit my sixth annual report as principal of the Douglas Memorial High School, grades seven through twelve.

The list represents 77% of the graduating class. The parents and students are to be congratulated for their interest and desire to secure further education. This is an excellent record for our school.


In 1960 the faculty of the school will make a self-evaluation of our school. This will be done using the Evaluation Criteria as set forth by the New England Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. This includes a survey of the student population and the community, then an evaluation of the school plant, school staff and program of studies. The findings of this evaluation will be reported to the school board in the spring of 1960. Any obvious deficiencies will be corrected by the school board and faculty. Then in either 1961 or 1962 the school will be evaluated by a visiting committee from other schools. We must have this done by 1965 in order to retain our accreditation in the New England Association. Testing Program for students going on to school:


The students have an I.Q. test in the seventh, ninth and eleventh grades. The Scholastic College Ability Test is given in the tenth grade. The National Merit Scholarship Tests are taken by the eleventh grade in the spring and the eleventh and twelfth grade in the fall. All Juniors planning to go to college take the regular Scholastic Aptitute Test of the College Boards in May of the third year. Finally Seniors going to college take the College Board Tests in December or January of their last year. These scores are sent to the colleges to which they are applying.


I would have you note that the number of Douglas graduates continuing their education is increasing each year. This is an ex- cellent recommendation for the school, it shows that we are teach- ing a proper respect for education.


Student Council:


A student council was established in January 1959. Eleven mem-


12


ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT


bers were elected by the respective classes. The membership con- sisted of four Seniors, three Juniors, two Sophomores and two Fresh- men. The officers were Paul Manning, Jr., President, Roberta Ful- lerton, Vice-President, and Jane Stefanak, Secretary-Treasurer. The council was extremely instrumental in the promotion of good school spirit.


Driver Training :


Until now, the school has not received a car for Driver Training. Sixteen students are taking their classroom instruction. By June, approximately thirty-five students will have completed the course. The car is expected to be delivered shortly.


Attitude:


The School Committee recently passed a strong educational pro- gram by formally adopting the following rules:


1. Any student, 16 years or older, who has the capacities and fails two subjects for two consecutive marking periods will be requested to leave the school.


2. Any student, 16 years or older, who is not applying himself will be requested to leave school.


3. All students, unless physically handicapped, must pass four years of physical education. (The handicap must be veri- fied by a physician's diagnosis and recommendation.)


4. Pupils are forbidden to enter any car, either on the school grounds or any street or highway, during school hours, in- cluding the lunch period, except when duly authorized.


5. Smoking by pupils will not be permitted in school, on the school grounds, or on the streets and walks adjoining the the schools.


6. Pupils are expected to keep the building, school grounds, and adjoining streets free from litter. Disposal of trash must be made in the proper receptacles.


Educational Television :


Both Junior and Senior High students are profiting from the new television set| The seventh and eighth grade students supple- ment their Conversational French Course by the television programs. There are several excellent programs geared for the secondary social studies course. In February a Humanities course will be seen. The "21" inch classroom television is a valuable educational tool.
