SCHOOL NURSE


Alice E. Garrison, R. N.


In September all children, kindergarten through 8th grade, were weighed and measured with the assist-

ance of Mrs. Torode, Miss Butz, and Mr. Reed, our physical education instructors. There are no children suffering from malnutrition in the Lincoln schools, but we encounter a number of cases of obes- ity in both boys and girls, especially in the upper grades. These cases are followed up and parents are advised to seek medical direction.


Children entering kindergarten had the state required physical examination including smallpox vaccination. The majority were seen by their own


family doctors. 18 kindergarten examinations were done by Dr. John Davies at the Well Child Conference.


During October and November school wide dental screening was done by Dr. William Tingey. 332 chil - dren were referred to their own family dentists for treatment or orthodontia.


In October and November, with the help of trained volunteers, the annual hearing testing pro- gram was completed. All initial failures are re- tested by Mrs. Garrison. There were 30 final fail- ures. Of these, 16 were children with known hear- ing loss who were already under a doctor's super - vision. The new cases were discussed with their parents and further testing by an ear specialist advised. These children are now under medical supervision and have preferential seating in the classroom when this is necessary.


In January and February the annual vision screening was done, also by the same group of vol- unteers trained by the Department of Public Health. There were 49 final failures. 29 children were already under the care of eye specialists and most of these wear glasses. There were 20 new cases re- ferred for care and observation.


In April the annual tuberculin testing at the six year old level was done by Dr. John Sisson, our school doctor. This year the Tine test was used instead of the Mantoux test which had been used in former years. The Tine test unit is disposable and eliminates the need for syringes and needles. This testing program is entirely voluntary and it is gratifying to be able to report that we get al- most 100% return on our permission slips to parents. This year 88 children were tested. There were no

SCHOOLS


positive reactors.


The Mental Health program continues under the supervision of Mrs. Rogers from the Walden Clinic in Concord. She is at the Lincoln schools every Thursday and sees teachers by appointment, has group meetings with teachers, observes children in the classroom, and has conferences with parents when requested. Principals and teachers feel that this professional direction is extremely valuable in helping with behavior problems or difficulties encountered in teaching emotionally disturbed chil- dren.


Mrs. Torode, Miss Butz, Mr. Reed and Mr. Saia have an excellent after school sports program which is open to any boy or girl who wishes to play. This is not just for the selected teams that compete with other schools, and it is a tribute to our enthusias- tic coaches that about 70% turn out for after school sports. At Smith and Brooks schools the girls play hockey in the fall, basket-ball in the winter, and soft ball in the spring. The boys have soccer, basket-ball and baseball.


Again, as always, I wish to thank my splendid volunteers for the services they give to the school health program. Mrs. Tead is at the Hartwell school Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and is known and loved by the children to whom she ad- ministers first aid with tender, loving care. Mrs. David Ammen, Mrs. Stuart Avery, Mrs. Gordon Donald- son and Mrs. Ralph Ruocco have helped with the vision, hearing and dental screening, and because of their help these programs have run smoothly and efficiently.

REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE


REPORT to the


TOWN OF LINCOLN


FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1963 - 1964


SCHOOLS


LINCOLN-SUDBURY REGIONAL DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMITTEE


Howard W. Emmons, Chairman


James M. Jagger, Vice Chairman Joseph E. Brown Ellen DeN. Cannon Virginia K. Kirshner


Henry M. Morgan


Planning for the proposed second addition to the high school and the maintaining of high quality education have been the chief concerns of your Com- mittee during the past year.


The architectural firm of Rich and Tucker Associates, Inc. of Boston was chosen for the pres- ent building phase. It was voted to develop a master plan for a complete school plant for 3,000 students to be administered under the present centra- lized system. The immediate addition will be de-


signed for 1,800 students. The two towns at their respective special town meetings in October accepted the September 25th vote of the Regional School Com- mittee to borrow $2,460,000 "for the purpose of con- structing and equipping additions to the existing regional school building", making a total appropria- tion of $2,500,000, which includes the $40,000 plan- ning money approved in 1963.


The new addition will include classrooms, a 900 seat auditorium, a gymnasium, outdoor athletic facilities, library, new facilities for art and music, and added guidance and administrative space. It is planned for construction to start in the spring as the building must be ready for occupancy by September, 1966.


We would once again like to thank the members of the building committee for the many hours of planning which they have so generously given to this project. Members of the committee are: Mrs. John M. Barnaby, Mr. Richard C. B. Clark and Mr. Edward G. Kaelber of Lincoln, and Mrs. Z. Stanley Taub, Mr. Burleigh Cruikshank, Jr. and Mr. Richard A. Schmalz of Sudbury. Mr. Kaelber resigned in September and Mr. E. Karl Bastress of Lincoln was


230


SCHOOLS


appointed to replace him. Mr. Stephen E. Grande, Jr. of the Sudbury Permanent Building Committee has served as consultant.


The new library planned for this building phase is being carefully considered by a committee of faculty and administration in cooperation with the architects and their library consultant. New tech- niques in library methods and use, number of vol- umes and their content in relation to the school curriculum, and needed library personnel are all being studied. The entire physical education and sports program has been given careful reevaluation during the planning for this building phase.


The Leagues of Women Voters in both towns are currently making a study of the school's future in all its ramifications. This study is enthusiasti- cally welcomed by the School Committee.


Copies of the "Agreement between the Towns of Lincoln and Sudbury" are available at the Superin- tendent's office. It was also included in the 1963 Town Reports.


The administration of the Regional School Dis- trict and the Sudbury Elementary School system was separated last spring following the resignation of Superintendent C. Newton Heath from the Sudbury sys- tem. Mr. Heath was appointed full time Superinten- dent the Regional District.


This year saw a reclassification of all school budgets throughout the state in accordance with the accounting system now required by the Department of Education. This change will make future budget preparation and comparison more efficient and effect- ive.


The educational policy of the high school was reevaluated and a revised Educational Policy Bulle - tin was sent to the citizens of both towns.


The Committee continues its policy of annual meetings with as many of the school departments as possible. We also met with the Student Exchange Committee and with the officers of the P. T. S. A.


231


SCHOOLS


Both programs, as presently constituted, have the continuing support of the Committee. A financial statement from the Student Exchange Committee fol- lows this report.


The Driver Education program was evaluated this year, and in an effort to hold costs, it was voted, beginning in September 1964, to charge $24.00 for the on-the-road training aspect of the program if completed under the auspices of the school. This divides the burden equally between taxpayer and parents of driver education students.


The series of tours of the building was con- tinued with one given for the League of Women Voters of both towns, and one for the officials of both towns. Our school, like all schools, is grow- ing rapidly and inevitably is losing some of the more intimate aspects of its early years. Every effort is being made, through guidance and small group activities, to keep the feeling of bigness in check.


A high percentage of our graduating students continues to go on to further education. Eighty- four per cent of the class of 1964 entered two and four year colleges and other specialized schools.


We would like once again to express our appre - ciation to the Administration and Faculty who con- tinue to maintain high standards and good spirit in our school.


STUDENT EXCHANGE COMMITTEE OF THE P.T.S.A.


Barbara Cryer, Chairman


In this the seventh year of the Student Ex- change Program, four students were sent abroad: William Clark to Japan, Christine DeBye to Germany, Margaret Weiss to Holland, and Electa Kane to Cevenol School in France. Two foreign students, Shirou Haraguchi from Japan and Margaret Barclay from Peru, attended Regional High School and, lived with families in both towns. In accordance with


232


SCHOOLS


our policy these foreign students paid their own transportation costs, and living expenses were absorbed by the host families.

To the School Committee:


This is the ninth Annual Report of the Admin- istration and reflects the continuance of Lincoln- Sudbury Regional High School as a comprehensive secondary school dedicated to providing our youth with maximum educational opportunities to prepare them for their post-secondary objectives. Changes made in the administrative organization are ex- pected to enhance the effectiveness of the area of supervision. The position of business manager was changed from a fifty per cent to a full time res- ponsibility. The reorganization of the adminis- tration provided for a revision of job classifica- tions at administrative, supervisory, and secre- tarial levels of our school system.


At the opening of school in September, 1964, ten of our previous staff members did not return: four left for further study, two left for profes- sional reasons, two left the teaching field, one left because of family responsibility, and one was not reappointed. Leave of absence was granted to three of our teachers to pursue a year of academic study.


To an excellent staff we added the following members: Mr. Robert J. Andrews, art; Miss Barbara M. Athy and Mr. Kenneth Burt, physical education; Mrs. Barbara Brannen, home economics (part time); Mrs. Ouida L. Bailey, biology; Miss Lucille C. Brady, Spanish; Miss Peggy S. Cohen, French; Miss Mary S. Jemail and Mrs. H. Patricia Punchard, Eng- lish; Mr. Thomas J. Puchalsky, English and Latin; Mr. Albert Trottier, French; Mrs. Amy A. Kass and Mr. Richard E. Markham, history; Mr. Albert S. Palmer and Mr. Elmer F. Leonard, mathematics. Mr . William B. Galvin returned to our staff from an Academic Year Program in Mathematics at Harvard.


In the area of the curricula offerings of the school, we have continued participation in the most

recent studies and pilot programs in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. This past year we were invited to become one of three pilot schools in the teaching of earth science. During the past summer, members of our staff attended various institutes, while others accepted assign- ments in curriculum revision at our own high school. Certain teachers of English began work in the iden- tification of specific concepts in literature and composition. Once identified, it is planned to organize them into a handbook which will relate them to specific speeds by students of varying abilities and backgrounds. The completion of this


project will require two more years. Routine re- vision of the history curriculum continued and new student syllabi were prepared. Gregg notehand and consumer economics have expanded our training of students in the business education area.


Under the leadership of Principal, Dr. Leslie Tourville, Dr. Norman Cohen of the Framingham Men- tal Health Clinic, Dr. Gordon Winchell, our School Physician, members of the teaching staff, guidance personnel, and the school nurse, case studies have been instituted to better acquaint staff members in
