ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL
Mr. Robert T. Roy Superintendent of Schools
Dear Mr. Roy:
I herewith submit my third annual report as principal of Berkley Grammar School.
Enrollment
Our enrollment since the opening of the school year has fluctuated between 200 and 210. This is somewhat less than last year, but is accountable in the fact that we sent a class of 43 sixth graders to Apponequet. The incoming first grade totaled 32 on opening day. This has since risen to 35.
All classes, sixth grade excepted, are being maintained with pupil-teacher ratios far in excess of the recommended 25. As of January 1, 1962, our enrollment is as follows: Grade 1 -- 35; Grade 2-35; Grade 3-30; Grade 4-39; Grade 5-32; Grade 6-22; and Opportunity Class-8.
Curriculum
The school curriculum has been strengthened this year in many areas. Of major significance is the lengthening of the school day and the school year. We now begin classes at 8:50 A.M. instead of 9:00. This ten minutes is reflected in a longer noon recess. The primary reason for this being to allow teachers more time to give students special help in areas of difficulty. This has been practically impossible in the past with large classes. In addition to this, a supervised make-up period is held during which pupils can finish previously un- done work.
Another curriculum improvement has been the acquisition of a new Science textbook for all grades. In the past, a con- tinuing series has been lacking.
President Kennedy's council on youth fitness has led to another curriculum change. The council suggested 15 minutes of vigorous physical activity each day. We have modified this in the area of time, as we have one 45 minute period per week. This is concentrated mainly in the intermediate grades. Recommended exercises and tests are being administered, however. To assure proper development and coordination of
6
ANNUAL REPORT
each child, the principal and classroom teacher work together, giving assistance wherever necessary.
With the expansion of our faculty, many things are possible which were unheard of in the past. For example, we are able to take small groups from the regular classroom to give them remedial help. Having a remedial teacher alleviates the burden in classes of 35 to 40 pupils.
A full time teacher for the opportunity class is now pos- sible with the separation of these duties from those of the principalship.
Also, the principal is now able to make frequent super- visory visits to each classroom, thereby gaining a keener in- sight into the educational progress of each child.
This year we have been visited many times by supervisors from the Massachusetts Department of Education. These people are working with us constantly in an effort to provide better services for our students.
The faculty of this school has attended meetings with faculties from other schools in our union. To date our efforts have been directed generally at a course of study, and specifi- cally at the field of reading. Future in-service meetings of this faculty will bring about a report card revision before the start of another school year.
In the intermediate grades we are utilizing the last period on Friday afternoon as a club period. Four clubs have been established, namely: Glee Club, Physical Education Club, Newspaper Club, and Arts and Crafts Club. Students chose the club to which they wished to belong. In this way, the school is better able to broaden the experiences of our pupils.
Television
Our learning-through-television process has been fur- thered this year by the addition of many new programs. We now have the following programs which the children watch on a weekly basis: Grade 1-Science and Health; Grade 2- Science, Music; Grade 3-Literature; Grade 4-French I; Grade 5-Science, French II; Grade 6-Science, French III.
A student who follows closely the French program for three years will have a definite advantage in conversational French upon entering the junior high school.

ANNUAL REPORT
Testing
As we continue in our efforts to have on file a complete profile of each pupil, an intensified testing program is mate- rializing. During the past year I have administered individual Stanford Binet intelligence tests to approximately 25 pupils who have been referred by the classroom teachers.
Also, group intelligence tests were administered in grades one, three, and five. Stanford Achievement tests were given to pupils in all grades in April with gratifying results.
In September, readiness tests were given to first graders to enable us to better qualify pupils according to their abilities.
Extra-Curricular
A pre-school registration and clinic was held in May for incoming first graders. Following registration and vaccina- tions, the children went to the first grade room for orientation with the teacher. The parents, meanwhile, enjoyed a coffee hour and question and answer period. The coffee hour was under the auspices of the P.T.A.
Record keeping became a more scientific task this year with the introduction of new permanent record cards. Replac- ing the old folder-type record, it now allows for all records to be mainatined on one card. These are in use in grade one and will gradually replace the old system.
A single music supervisor, Mr. Olivieri, has replaced Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Morrison. The program, however, remains basically the same with one half day per week devoted to vocal music and one half day for instrumental music. Many new youngsters are taking instrumental lessons this year. This should provide the nucleus for a good band next year.
The Spring Music Festival was well received by a capa- city audience last April. The money realized from this event was used to purchase a complete amplifying unit for the school. This amplifier has since been used at all assembly programs.
Our combination May Day-Memorial Day program was again held outdoors. Assemblies have also been held at Thanksgiving and Christmas. All were well attended by parents and friends.
Educational field trips held the attention of our pupils last spring. Through the cooperation of the teachers, Mr.
8
ANNUAL REPORT
Trenouth, and parents who acted as chaperones, all children were able to visit educational sites. The first grade toured the zoo at Roger Williams Park. Grade Two visited the Children's Museum and Franklin Park in Boston. The third and fourth grades went to the Science Museum in Boston. Fifth grade had a guided tour of the Providence Journal newspaper operation, then visited Roger Williams Park. The sixth grade toured the State House and Agassiz Museum at Harvard University.
Participation in the school milk program continued at a very high percentage. The weekly average was about 75 to 80 percent. During one week in December a daily total of 190 bottles of milk were ordered.
Health services have been maintained satisfactorily. Mrs. Dillingham, school nurse, is with us one and one-half days per week. Dr. Alan Poole, school physician, has completed physical examinations of all pupils within the past year. The present second, fourth and sixth grades were done in June, and the first, third, and fifth grades were done this fall.
We have held fire drills throughout the school year on an average of once a month. During warmer weather, more were held. The Berkley Fire Department cooperated in our annual Fire Prevention Week drill which is as realistic as possible.
This year's major drill was filmed on 16mm film and then combined with a tape recording describing vital parts of the drill.
P.T.A.
Under the capable direction of President Mrs. Ernest Stone, Vice-President Mrs. Stuart Waterfield, Secretary Brad- ford Richmond, and Treasurer George Hachey, the P.T.A. is conducting a successful year of events. Although the primary function of the organization is a better understanding between home and school, some of its activities do realize monetary gains. These funds have been set aside for a contribution to the new school.
Among activities sponsored by the P.T.A. this year were the annual Halloween party, a whist party, and a sports night at which Bill Monbouquette of the Boston Red Sox visited the school.

ANNUAL REPORT
Conclusion
Many individuals and organized groups within the town have cooperated with us in our attempts to educate the whole child. We are sincerely grateful to these people. The Women's Club provided flowers and refreshments for our May Day- Memorial Day program; the P.T.A. this year was assisted in sponsoring the Halloween party by the Volunteer Firemen's Association; and, once again, the Police Association provided funds for the Christmas party. Mr. Clarence Trenouth pro- vided transportation for all our educational field trips.
The assistance given by you, Mr. Roy, and the members of the School Committee is greatly appreciated.
Our teachers, who in addition to regular classroom duties, are always willing to attend meetings and workshops in an effort to improve our school, are especially deserving of com- mendation.
The custodians are constantly striving to keep the school in prime condition and we appreciate their efforts.
I commend the parents for the spirit of cooperation which exists between home and school. This cooperation is reflected in a student body exuberant with pride in themselves and their school.
I look forward to September and the increased facilities with which the town has provided its children. This is done judiciously, however, with reflection upon years of accom- plishment here.
Many changes will come about but with the same con- tinuing effort on the part of all concerned, we can look forward to a future bright with promise.
Respectfully submitted, J. GERALD FLEMING,

ANNUAL REPORT
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC REPORT
Mr. Robert Roy Superintendent of Schools Berkley, Mass.
Dear Mr. Roy:
I herewith submit the annual Instrumental Report for the Berkley Elementary School.
Instrumental music lessons are offered to pupils in grades four, five and six. The classes, ranging from two to nine pupils, meet once a week. The smaller groups meet for thirty minutes and the larger for forty-five minutes. Each student has a weekly lesson to study for the purpose of advancement on his particular instrument.
The instrumental program consists of sixteen students.
The purpose of the program is to acquaint each student with his instrument and to teach him the fundamentals of music reading, rhythm and expression. As the student ad- vances, we analyze and diagnose his faults and prescribe the remedies which will correct these faults.
When the younger players have progressed on their instruments, a small band is organized for the purpose of per- forming for their school and community.

ANNUAL REPORT
VOCAL MUSIC REPORT
Mr. Robert Roy Superintendent of Schools
Berkley, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Roy:
I herewith submit my first report as Supervisor of Vocal Music.
The vocal material on hand was successfully used during the previous year. Because of pupils' individual differences, interests, and ability to participate, the activities in the music class are varied. They consist of music theory, the presentation of instruments and various musical discussions. It is not ex- clusively vocal although singing is still the fundamental activity.
The children in the lower grades are encouraged to make body movements in response to music. This helps them to determine what the music is saying.
The aim of the vocal music class is to enrich and develop the personalities of all students and to contribute to the round- ing out of the whole student as a process of his natural development.
On December 22, 1961 the annual Christmas program was presented.
Respectfully submitted, ACHILLE P. OLIVIERI,

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Robert T. Roy Superintendent of Schools
Berkley, Mass.
Dear Mr. Roy:
I herewith submit my annual report as school nurse of the Berkley Grammar School. The routine school health pro- gram has been carried out for the year. All pupils have been measured and weighed.
Physical examinations were done by Dr. Alan Poole. Grades one, three, and five were examined. The general health level of the pupils was considered good.
The Dental Clinic continues to serve a limited number of pupils needing dental care. Fifty-nine pupils were treated and a total of ninety-one operations were completed in the fifteen trips made to Dr. Helfand's office.
Clinics for diphtheria and tetanus protection were held in March, April, and May. At the April and May clinics polio shots were also given. Eleven children were vaccinated against smallpox at the pre-school clinic.
Vision and hearing tests were given to all pupils. Four- teen pupils failed to pass the test. Corrective treatment has been provided by parents in most cases. The Taunton Lions Club has been very helpful and generous in supplying glasses for pupils whose parents needed help in that area.
I have attended several Public Health Meetings during the year. On May 13, 1961 the School Nurses Association of Massachusetts held an all day meeting at the University of Massachusetts. The following program was presented to a large group of school nurses:
"The Treatment and Management of School Phobias" Dr. Waldfogel "Orthopedic Problems in the School Age Child" Dr. Hartman "The Healthy School Child" Dr. Valodian
The program closed with a panel on "A Challenge for Improved Services for the School Age Child." These lectures
13
ANNUAL REPORT
were very informative and many new ideas were suggested and discussed.
On September 27, 1961, a meeting was held at the Assa- wompset School in Lakeville. The topic under discussion was Visual Problems among school children. Dr. Henry F. Allen, Surgeon in Ophthalmology and Dr. Michael Weidman, Assistant in Ophthalmology, Massachusetts Eye and Ear In- firmary in Boston lectured and showed colored slides pertain- ing to operations performed on eyes that were crossed and the results after the operation. Both Dr. Allen and Dr. Weid- man emphasized the importance of early treatment for chil- dren who have eyes that are crossed. Treatment should begin as early as possible.
1961 has been a busy and rewarding year-I have en- joyed my work. I would like to thank everyone who helped the school health program. I would like to thank the Berkley Women's Club for their continued support in time of need.

REPORT OF THE DENTAL CLINIC
Mr. Robert Roy
Superintendent of Schools
Dighton, Massachusetts
Re: Report of the Dental Clinic
Dear Mr. Roy:
This is the annual report of the dental clinic serving the Berkley Elementary School. The term started on March 20, 1961, and ended on December 19, 1961. The total number of operations was 84. Breaking this down into the various services rendered, we accomplished this:
9 Silicate (porcelain) fillings
52 Extractions of teeth including odontectomies (surgical removal with sutures)
8 Prophylaxes (cleanings)
15 Amalgam (silver) fillings
84
The clinic has had a very successful year in which a great amount of work was accomplished and dental care was ren- dered to those who may never have had an opportunity of visiting a dentist.
Sincerely yours, ISRAEL HELFAND, D.D.S.

REPORT OF THE BERKLEY SCHOOL PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
The Committee began its work in 1961 by asking for a Special Town Meeting to report on their work and ask for a sum of money to be appropriated for preliminary drawings and site surveys. After the Town Meeting the Committee went about its work viewing sites and going over preliminary plans. On February 8, 1961 the Committee approved the site offered by Mr. George Bischoff as a gift and engaged Mr. Benjamin Evans to survey the site.
At the February 8th meeting the Committee authorized Mr. Israel T. Almy the architect to draw preliminary plans for a building with 12 regular classrooms and a special class- room plus a library, combined gym-auditorium, kitchen and other necessary offices and storage rooms.
At the meeting of March 9, 1961 Mr. Robert Taylor re- signed as a member of the Committee as he was moving out of town. The Committee decided to visit the Newman Avenue School in Seekonk as it was similar in design and size to the building we were planning. As the site survey had not been started due to the fact that Mr. Evans was very busy it was decided to engage the firm of Corse and Tibbetts of Marion to do the survey. Mr. Almy presented several plans and the Committee chose a plan which could be constructed for around $400,000.00
The Committee met with Mr. Robert Verkade of Corse and Tibbetts and Mr. Bischoff on March 21, 1961. Mr. Bischoff gave his approval of the 12 to 14 acres of land upon which the school would be placed. Mr. Almy presented final preliminary plans which were to be sent to the School Building Assistance Commission for approval.
On April 18, Mr. Richard Pilling resigned as chairman of the Committee and Mrs. Estelle Stetson was elected chairman.
These plans were approved by the S.B.A.C. and the Com- mittee requested a Special Town Meeting to raise money for working drawings. It was voted that the Committee present plans for a nine room building and alternate plans for four additional rooms.
Mr. Fred Heywood was appointed to the Committee by Town Moderator Richard Perry to succeed Mr. Robert Taylor.
After many meetings to discuss types of construction, the final working drawings were sent to Boston for approval. Bids
21
ANNUAL REPORT
were advertised for constructing the building and alternate four rooms. Registered file sub-bids were opened on Sep- tember 15, 1961 and general bids on September 22, 1961. G. W. Carpenter Inc. of Fall River was low bidder with a bid of $347,208.00.
Mr. Richard Pilling resigned from the Committee on September 16, 1961 as he was moving to Assonet.
A Special Town meeting was held on September 25, 1961 and it was voted to borrow under Chapter 645 of the Acts of 1948, the sum of $360,000. for constructing and equipping a nine room elementary school. After the meeting and final approval of the project was given by the S.B.A.C. a contract was signed with G. W. Carpenter Inc. for $320,173.00 on October 23, 1961.
Mr. Herbert Hutchings was appointed to fill the term of Mr. Pilling on the School Committee and thereby succeeded him on the Planning and Building Committee.
In the meantime it was necessary to drill a well. Mr. Oliver Perry of Lakeville was engaged to drill the well and was able to produce a well with a flow of 20 gallons per minute.
Clearing of the site and the pouring of foundations began immediately after the signing of the contract.
A ground breaking ceremony was held on Sunday, Octo- ber 29, 1961 with members of the National and State Govern- ment present.
As the year concluded all foundations had been set and rough plumbing completed. We are now awaiting the arrival of structural steel. It is expected soon as we look for the project to be one hundred percent complete by September 1962.
