INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
Ben C. Lancisi, Instructor and Director of M. H. S.
Band and Orchestra.
The numbers of students in the instrumental depart- ment has shown an increase over previous years, the be- ginners' class being the largest since its institution.
The High School Band through the cooperation of the parents went to Framingham and took part in the annual Football Classic on Armistice Day and played at all our home games. They also took part in the local patriotic parades, and played at the opening performance of "This is the Army" which was held in the State Theater with entire proceeds going to the Army Relief.
The band also helped to cheer families by rendering Christmas carols on Christmas Eve.
Rehearsals are now in progress for the twelfth annual concert to be given May 26, 1944.

REPORT OF ART DEPARTMENT
Art as an integral part of education is concerned with (1) "The use and sharing of ideas". (2) "The experiences that make for growth." (3) "The evaluation of procedures and results."
In looking back over the past year of art work we find the type of work especially in the High School is geared to the war program. More girls are becoming in- terested in the mechanical field and electing the study of instrumental drawing as well as the fine arts course. The artistic, still has its place in this speedy, driving, produc- tive age for the creative work in any medium is a sure- fire prescription for "war nerves."
In looking forward to the future we fully understand that the art training received by the boys and girls of to- day will determine the results of an artistic and better world of tomorrow. They are to be the future men and women to design, sell and buy the new products and materials already being planned in the workshops of America. This art training given in our educational cur- riculum is planned to help produce these new artists and to train the ordinary pupils, through art experience to make good choices.
All schools of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts were requested to observe "Art Week," November 1st- 7th and make a report of these activities. A part of that report is included in the following.
(1) In co-operation with the Milford Quinshipaug Wom- an's Club on November 3rd at the Universalist Church we presented an exhibition of art work by the students of the High School. This included de- signs for textiles, posters, four and five color stencils, wood carving, craft work, advertising, water colors, pastels and a large mural depicting Mexican life.
(2) Special posters were designed for Art Week.
350
(3) A display of three-dimensional advertising was on exhibition during the week at the Milford Town Library.
Respectfully submitted,
DORCAS WHIPPLE.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ART FOR THE PRIMARY AND ELEMENTARY GRADES
Since the faculty of drawing is as natural in the child as is the faculty of speech, and demands its development as imperatively as the latter, our art lessons are planned so the child may be guided and encouraged to express his ideas freely. Even a small child often produces re- sults that are a pleasant surprise.
Our art course for the past year included creative designs, color theory, lettering, poster work, and illustrat- ing. The patriotic posters were used in the class rooms, each poster suggesting a way the pupils could assist in the war effort.
Christmas always affords the opportunity to design . and make useful gifts. This year the boys and girls made bracelets, pins, corsages, and wall plaques, besides design- ing many of their own cards and decorations.
I wish to thank the teachers for their helpful coopera- tion during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET V. CONDON.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Mr. Frank C. Berry, Superintendent of Schools, Milford, Massachusetts.
Our aim in teaching music in the schools this year has been to build and strengthen morale, for understanding better the issues involved in winning the war and for the achievement of a vigorous spiritual unity among peoples and nations.
Through music we can help to win the peace. Happi- ness and welfare of all children presupposes continued human progress particularly in the arts as means of en- riching life and promoting human values.
Our little folks in the Primary grades are taught sim- ple light sweet-toned swinging rhythms and together with note reading and sight work, results are very pleasing.
In the Intermediate and Junior High classes, where part-singing is taught, work on tone development-and on technical knowledge of music fundamentals as a preparation for advanced study in music has shown much interest and improvement.
A special Glee Club of more than one hundred voices has been formed in the High School and during the course of the year, interesting programs have been given.
Much intensive work is done in the Theory and Harmony Class in addition to the teaching of the voice. Plans are now being formulated for the students to attend a performance of one of the operas to be given later in the year in Boston.
352
To all the teachers and principals, to our Superin- tendent, Mr. Berry, and the members of the School Com- mittee, I am grateful for the sincere co-operation which they have shown to me during the past year.
Very respectfully yours, 1
HELENA F. SWIFT, Supervisor of Music.
CONTINUATION SCHOOL REPORT
The Continuation School for girls operates on a part- time schedule. If a girl is allowed a home permit she must attend this school once a week until her sixteenth birthday and if she is absent without a good reason she must make up her time.
The course offered to this group is a general improve- ment program with emphasis on household arts. We feel this will improve the standard of work they actually do in the home. Included also in the program this year is a course on war rationing, the use of stamps for the pur- chase of rationed goods and a weekly checkup with the ration calendar. Most of these girls are the shoppers for the family and are glad to talk over these problems in class.
Respectfully submitted,
BEATRICE J. FLEMING.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ATTENDANCE
To the Honorable School Committee,
Gentlemen:
Your Supervisor of Attendance made seven hundred and eighty calls in the course of duty for the year 1943. One hundred fifty-three were due to carelessness of par- ents most of whom were working in defense plants. One hundred and twenty were truants. The balance was ex- cuseable or due to illness.
The cases of truants resulted in imposing satisfactory corrective measures on the parties involved.
Many changes in Child Labor Laws brought about by war conditions required considerable time. There were one thousand two hundred eighty-one labor certificates of various kinds issued during the year.
Juvenile delinquency is an ever increasing problem which demands the attention of our entire community. It is the community's responsibility to meet this problem. Four out of five of the juvenile delinquents have had their origin in truancy. Therefore, truancy is our chief concern in combating delinquency.
Added recreational facilities will go a long way in helping to settle this difficult matter.
I wish to thank all the Town Departments and all local organizations for their co-operation and support ex- tended throughout the year.
ARTHUR E. VESPERI,
Supervisor of Attendance.

MILFORD TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION
President,-Catherine E. Curtin.
Vice President,-Hannah E. Callanan. Secretary,-Gertrude E. Moran.
Treasurer,-Ida Kurlansky.
Executive Committee,-Mildred O'Brien, Chairman. Social Committee,-Dorothy Callahan, Chairman. Publicity Committee,-Eva Burns, Chairman.
Another year of war has passed, and again the teach- ers of Milford have come forth to meet the many demands which arise in a nation that is fighting for a just cause, the preservation of Democracy.
Certainly the teachers themselves have shown their democratic spirit by meeting the new emergencies that have arisen this year. In October they volunteered their services to the rationing of War Book 4.
They have contributed generously to the various re- lief agencies, such as the U.S.O., the Red Cross, and the National Tuberculosis Association.
A Library Committee, comprised of Misses Viola Le- land, Sadie O'Connell, and Vera O'Neil, in conjunction with Miss Mae Comba, was appointed to select the books as our usual gift to the Milford Public Library.
Once again, I feel it only fitting that we should pay tribute to, not only our local teachers, but to all who are in the service of our country.
GERTRUDE E. MORAN,
Secretary.

THE MILFORD TRADE SCHOOL
The Milford Trade School, established by the School Committee, was opened for classes January 21, 1943. The opening of the school was delayed by the renovation of the interior of the former Plains Grammar School Build- ing and the inability of the contractors to obtain building materials and supplies. However, the completed interior justified the delay, in that definite facilities for training were obtained.
The course of study approved by the Division of Vocational Education of the State gives complete machine training, and supplementary theory and mechanical draw- ing. Academic courses embrace English, Mathematics and the Social Sciences on a high school level.
Mr. Paul F. Raftery, Director during the past year, left the school in June to assume the principalship of the George E. Stacy Junior High School. Mr. John Besozzi, Machine Instructor in the War Production Training Courses was appointed to teach Machine Shop in Septem- ber.
Every effort has been made to have the students retain their association with their high school activities, and with the cooperation of Mr. Higgiston, this has been satisfactorily accomplished.
War Production Training Courses were started April 5, 1943. The Trade School facilities were used from 6 P.M. to 12 P.M. five evenings a week affording training in Machine Shop Work to a large group of men and several women trainees. The Federal requirements have been met; therefore, the complete reimbursement for these courses has been made to the Town of Milford.
I wish to extend at this time my appreciation to the Superintendent, Mr. Berry, to the members of the School Committee, to Mr. Paul F. Raftery, former director, and to members of the School Staff for the assistance and en- couragement in this new and progressive undertaking.
Respectfully submitted,
EVERETT M. WINSLOW, Director.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIANS
December 17, 1943.
To the School Committee of Milford:
We submit herewith the results of the annual inspec- tion of the schools of the town:
Primary Department
Whole number of pupils 657
No. having no notable defect 235-36%
No. having slight defects 280
No. having serious defects
142
No. having mouth and teeth defects 302
No. having nose and throat defects 145
No. having miscellaneous defects 138
Grammar Department
Whole number of pupils 599
No. having no notable defect 284 -48%
No. having slight defects 122
No. having serious defects
180
No. having mouth and teeth defects 212
No. having nose and throat defects 96
No. having miscellaneous defects
122
High School
Whole number of pupils 575
No. having no notable defect 355-62%
No. having slight defects 109
No. having serious defects 111
No. having mouth and teeth defects 159
No. having nose and throat defects 63
No. having miscellaneous defects 88
357
Whole School
Whole number of pupils 1831
No. having no notable defect 874 -48%
No. having slight defects 511
No. having serious defects 433
No. having mouth and teeth defects 673
No. having nose and throat defects 304
No. having miscellaneous defects 348
The tables shown above give the number of the more common defects encountered in our annual inspec- tion. They are not really as formidable as they appear since a great many of them will promptly be corrected once the parents know of them. But it is nevertheless re- grettable that the parents were not the first to discover them, thus ensuring earlier correction. If 52% of our public school pupils are laboring under physical handi- caps they cannot be expected to be 100% in their mental or moral functioning.
Some abnormalities were found which do not appear in the tables but are important. Nutritional shortcom- ings show themselves in weak, pale, underweight and poorly developed children. There are many examples of bad posture which might be improved by instruction and proper exercises. Perhaps the school should do this; we believe the parents might well assume the respon- sibility.
About a dozen children suffering from speech defects were seen (stammering, lisping, etc.); these are almost always remediable under appropriate treatment.

The time to part is nigh.
We start our journey on life's way:
Farewell, dear Milford High!
II
Our motto is an adage true.
That Knowledge is power.
It has guided us and helped us through
To our goal and to this hour.

So as we leave thee now, dear friend,
We pledge our loyalty;
And to the Lord above we send
Our humble prayer for thee.
Chorus
Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee;
Thy praises we shall tell.
Oh, Alma Mater, hail to thee, As we bid thee fond farewell.
