REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL.


To the Superintendent of Schools:


Herewith I submit a report of the organization and ac- tivities of the High School which may contain items of general interest to all.


There are now enrolled fifty-seven pupils, twenty-eight boys and twenty-nine girls, of these thirty-two are taking the college preparatory course and twenty-five the two years' English course.


Number of boys who have left, 4


Number of these working, 3


Number absent because of illness,

Number of girls who have left,

Number of these working,


3


Number absent because of illness,

Number attending the Commercial College,

Number who have removed from town, 2


Of last year's seniors, one girl is attending the Com- mercial College; one boy is at M. A. C .; of the three now helping at their homes, two will probably enter college


53


later. Of the two years' course, two are attending the Commercial College; the remaining nine are either help- ing at home or working in factories. One of last year's seniors, Joseph Goodhue, who entered the M. A. C. Col- lege, is now in the medical corps of the U. S. Army at the embarkation camp at Newport News, Va.


The school became a member of the Pro Merito Club of Western Massachusetts last year. Only those pupils who have attained a rating of eight-five per cent. for three or three and a half years are eligible to membership. The following pupils were chosen at the end of their junior year: Mevertte Smith, Maxine Rhoades, Edward Dolan.


A special effort has been made to instruct the pupils in the duties of citizenship and in thrift, and a practical application is made of the latter in the use of school sup- plies and the elimination of waste. The Community Civics class has devoted much time to the study of the series of pamphlets issued by the government, prepared for pupils by the food department at the suggestion of the United States Commissioner of Education.


In order to make a practical application of the sugges- tions relative to training in Citizenship the socialized plan of conducting the recitation is now employed in the class in ancient history. The class elects a chairman, a vice- president and secretary to serve for five consecutive days who have entire charge of the recitation. The great in- terest shown by the pupils in this plan has been noted by the superintendent and visiting educators who have highly commended it. The method has proved its value by its development of self-control, while the responsibili- ties lead to careful study and a good understanding of the rules of parliamentary practice, also it tends to correct - the tendency to diffidence and bashfulness often shown by pupils and many such cases have been entirely cured and the individuals face the class and perform their duties with dignity and self-possession.

At the suggestion of the Superintendent, special atten- tion has been given the study of the drama and Miss Burt is taking up her work in her English classes. An original drama may be produced in the near future for the benefit of the Junior Red Cross.


The following are the High School organizations : Home Economics Club; Debating Society; Girls' Ath- letic Association ; Boys' Athletic Association ; Junior Red Cross.


Application has again been made for the college en- trance certificate privilege which the school has held con- tinuously since 1914, during which time we have received notice of no failure of any of our graduates in college.


It may be of interest to parents to know that Mt. Hol- yoke, Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley Colleges have an- nounced a new plan of admission which goes into effect in 1919. The new method will entirely replace admission by certificate. No change in subjects or the amount of work required is contemplated. Pupils wishing to enter any of these colleges must take four comprehensive ex- aminations selected from the following groups: English or History; a foreign language; Mathematics or Chem- istry or Physics; one subject selected by the applicant and approved by the Committee of Admission of the respective colleges.


In June a joint graduation will probably be arranged, owing to the small number of seniors to be graduated, seven in each course.


The following pupils have been present every school day since the opening of the school year: Raymond Burke, Robert Brown, Wilfred Graves.


The following is our athletic record for the year in which we take pride, and which we think fully justifies the generous action of the school committee in furnishing us with an excellent athletic field.


Our teams in baseball and soccer have been very suc-


55


cessful but owing to lack of a heated building in which to practice, our basketball team has not met with much suc- cess.


We won five straight games in baseball, getting 50 runs to our opponents 30. Six of Captain Dolan's team were in the 300 class as hitters. In a game with Hopkins Academy the boys made 26 hits against pitchers who had held down Amherst High School the previous week. The team was well balanced; strong men being Dolan, Good- win, O'Brien, Ryan, and Healy.


We won seven games in soccer football, tied two games with the clever Hopkins' team, and lost one to Holyoke Valley league team by the score of 1 to 0. The Holyoke game was remarkable for the pluck shown by the local boys who were outweighed so much that it was the cause of many jokes before the game but not after. Captain Dolan played 'rings' around the well coached Holyoke men, but was forced to lose against the heavier oppon- ents. The game was referred by the Holyoke coach, Mc- Kinstrie, who added five minutes to the second half in order to allow his team to score more goals. Coach Mc- Kinstrie stated that the local boys played a wonderful game of soccer. We were refused a return game besides having to pay expenses to Holyoke, but the game was worth it all. We made 41 goals to our opponents 4. Captain Dolan led with 14, Goodwin, 8; Ryan, 7; Burke, 4. Raymond Burke will captain the soccer team next season.


Thus far in basketball we have lost 3 and won 1, but we cannot expect to win, for our opponents have places in which they may practice at any time.


A shower bath placed in our building would be welcome and an aid to health.


The Selectmen have refused to let us use our own fuel during practice periods, 3 till 5 twice a week, so the hall is so cold and damp that it is dangerous to health. When


56


we had games in the hall we dressed in the High School and went through snow to the Town Hall, making it very dangerous for boys especially after the game. Many colds have been contracted. We should be allowed to use our own fuel, health being more important than a little fuel.


Athletic games not only provide sport for the boys, but also develop them in character and make them fit for fu- ture service to the country. President Wilson said he would be very sorry if the boys of the country had to give up athletics, for he considered them necessary to fit for the national defense.


E. P. LARKIN, Principal.


REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.


Superintendent E. W. Goodhue :


MY DEAR MR. GOODHUE :- With great pleasure I sub- mit to you my report of the work accomplished in Music during the past year. There is no subject that has the power to bring forth the best that is in a child so quickly as the study of music. By it is developed his love for beauty, harmony, purity, kindness, patriotism and in gen- eral it lifts the child out of himself as it were.


It has always been my aim in presenting this subject to the pupils to make them love it; so much pleasure, in fact, is derived from this work that it is often regarded as a recreation period rather than a time of acute concen- tration and hard work. To attain the best results, un- limited energy, enthusiasm, concentration and real love for music are requisite and I am happy to say that we have a band of energetic, conscientious and enthusiastic teachers who fully appreciate the importance of music in the development of their pupils' character.


It is almost impossible to give an adequate account of


57


this work in a written report. To know its real value it is necessary to hear the children sing. It will be a far from tiresome task to hear them and to see them apply themselves to the work as it is presented. I feel certain if the parents realized how much pleasure it gives the pupils to have visitors and "to show off" what they can do, they would feel amply repaid for any slight exertion it might have necessitated on their part to make this visit.


The brightness which our little first grade pupils dis- play in reading music from the blackboard, and the pleas- ing manner in which they sing some fifty new songs each year will no doubt surprise and please you. A large num- ber of Motion Songs are used in this grade, this being the best possible way to impress upon them the meaning of the words.


The second grade pupils add about forty new songs to their repertoire, and read very readily exercises from the board, knowing from the first grade how to sing the quar- ter, half, dotted-half and whole notes with the eighth notes here added. This work plus learning the names of the lines and spaces furnishes ample material to keep the young folk busy throughout the year.


When we reach the third grade, the third time motion represented by a dotted-quarter and an eighth note is added. The finding of Do from the signature, the names of the whole fifteen keys in music and thirty or more new songs constitute the work for this period of the child's musical training.


Next comes the fourth and fifth grades, where we in- troduce song books, two-part singing, chromatic tones and arithmetic in music. The value of these separate steps in the musical education of our children can hardly be ap- preciated without demonstration.


The sixth grade is an important grade in so far as it lays the foundation of much of the higher study of har- mony, music appreciation and composition. Here we


58


furnish our pupils with a knowledge of the correct posi- tion of sharps and flats in all keys, the use of all chro- matic characters, the writing of chromatic scales, four new time motions, two forms of triplets and the four six- teenth notes, also a dotted eighth and a sixteenth.


The seventh grade adds the knowledge of syncopation, the lives of famous composers and the singing of three- part selections besides a thorough review of all the theory work.


The eighth grades are taught how to read in the tenor and bass clefs and how to write major and minor scales.


From this brief summary of the work in the grades, it can be readily seen that with the knowledge thus incul- cated and the training under the guidance of the daily teacher who carries out the instructions given by the supervisor in this branch, our pupils receive a good musical training.


When the High School is reached the pupils are well prepared to go on with more difficult four-part singing. Great care is always taken in selecting the song material that it may come within the easy range of the various voices, that the music may appeal to the æsthetic sense of the child and that the words may be of an elevating standard.


The singing at the Commencement Exercises last June proved that the High School students applied themselves in a most gratifying manner to the music selected for the occasion. Great interest is being manifested in the or- ganization of an orchestra which we trust may demon- strate its excellence at Commencement time this year. The exhibition of the singing in the grade school at the various Christmas Exercises was deserving of much praise for both the pupils and their teachers.


I wish to urge the parents once again most heartily to visit us more frequently ; it helps and pleases both the pupils and the teachers to have the parents display a keen interest in the school life of their children.


59


For the teachers who have been with us I have only words of the highest esteem and appreciation for their splendid cooperation. To the new teachers I wish to ex- press also my gratitude and commendation.


Mr. Superintendent and Members of the School Board, and all who have helped to make this branch of our school work a success, I wish to thank most heartily.


Very truly yours, GRACE M. LARKIN.

The appropriation asked for did not include walk in front of Masonic Hall. When this point was reached, there was a difference in grade of 4 inches. It seemed to your board that instead of raising the old stone slabs up to same grade that it would be better to replace the slabs with cement thereby completing the work in a uniform manner. This increased the cost about $90.00.
