1963
country where a new emphasis is being placed upon music as an academic discipline as well as a cultural and emotional outlook. Rather specifically we now expect our students, in general, to be able to write musically that which they hear, and to sing that which they read or see. We are concerned always with the singing voices of our children. The child's voice is not an adult voice and requires special insights and handling if maximum benefits are to be achieved. It has been gratifying to observe, from my point of view, a gradual and consistent improvement in the quality and use of our children's voices by the classroom teachers.
Miss Hathaway, our elementary music supervisor, should be commended for her continuing effort to achieve these re- sults. As in all forms of education spectacular achievements rarely occur in a short space of time in the field of music .. At the recent Christmas program I was especially impressed also by part-singing of the Junior High School girls' chorus. I no- ticed a marked improvement over the previous year which was the first year of the chorus.
In the instrumental field our results are not dramatic but continuing. The general reorganization of the schools them- selves affect the development of our program. Last year was the first year of the junior high school. We found very little individual instrumental preparation to provide the nucleus of a band. In order to provide some experiences the band was com- bined with that from the Rehoboth Junior High School for public appearances.
Mr. Watson, our band supervisor during the 1962-63 school year, initiated a pre-instrumental program in one third grade. We are evaluating that program now and expect to carry it out with Mr. Spillane, the new band supervisor.
Finally, I should like to thank all the teachers, Mr. Fleming, and our music staff. In the development of our music program we are constantly presenting new ideas and approaches. All concerned have responded with open minds and vigor to assist in making music for our chilldren more meaningful that their lives may be more fruitful.
Sincerely,
PHILIP E. TURNER

REPORT OF BERKLEY SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Robert T. Roy Superintendent of Schools
Dear Mr. Roy:
I herewith submit my first report as school nurse of Berkley Public Schools. With the help, guidance and understanding of the school principal, Mr. Fleming, I have been able to establish a School Health Program as follows: to appraise the health sta- tus of pupils; to counsel pupils, parents and teachers concerning appraisal findings; to assist in health education; to help prevent and control disease; to provide emergency service for injury or sudden illness.
Appraising Pupil Health
Screening tests as prescribed by the Massachusetts State De- partment of Public Health have been completed as follows:
Heights and weights have been taken on a total of 304 stu- dents. These have been recorded on the individual cumulative health records. Since I am interested in measuring progress of the physical devolopment of each child I made a further inter- esting study of the Berkley School children by using the height- weight graphs developed by the Joint Committee on Health Problems in Education of the National Education Association. I plan to repeat this procedure in the spring so that I may ob- tain the necessary information concerning the growth pattern of each student.
The Titmus Optical Tester was borrowed from the school nurse in Dighton and 299 students were tested. There were 27 students who failed this test. Referral slips were sent out to the parents of all the students who failed this vision test.
Dr. Alan Poole completed physical exams on a total of 142 students. These included the students in grades one, three, five, seven and the Opportunity Class. Thirteen athletic physicals were done. Seventeen parents witnessed the physical examina- tions of their children and had the opportunity to discuss health problems with the school physician and the school nurse.

I hope to be able to complete hearing tests as soon as the audiometer is made available to me.
All students were spot checked for scalp and skin conditions at the same time that individual screening tests were made.
Health Counseling
Thirty-seven referral slips have been sent out to parents in reference to the appraisal findings of their children. School health conferences have been held with twenty parents. Nine home visits have thus far been made. Five visits have been made to health, welfare and educational organizations.
I had the pleasure of individual health conferences with all of the eighth grade students. At this time I was able to review the health status with each student and offered the student an opportunity to discuss any health or emotional problem with the school nurse prior to his or her entering high school.
Health Education
In October I talked to the first, second and third graders on the subject of the "Common Cold." A cartoon-type film entitled "How to Catch a Cold" was shown at this time.
Also in October both Dr. Poole and I discussed the School Health Program at a meeting of the P. T. A. Health pamphlets on various subjects of interest were made available to the par- ents at this time. I also demonstrated the use of the Titmus Tester to a few of the parents upon request.
In November I ordered and distributed to the teachers, a pamphlet entitled "What Teachers See".
Mrs. Scherer, teacher of the Opportunity Class, asked me to talk to her students on the subject of good health habits. We did this by holding daily health inspections during the month of November. Students partcipated by short discussions on posture, cleanliness, tidiness, eating habits, etc. We all took a great interest in this teacher-student-nurse program.

In December, Mr. Richmond, teacher of the sixth grade, invited me to conduct one of the eighth grade science classes. The subject included the heart and the circulatory system. The students took an active part in dissecting turkey hearts.
Other methods of health education were carried out through the media of health posters, health bulletins and health surveys.
Health Room Services
There were a total of 155 visits made to the Health Room. Student illnesses showed the following symptoms: 37 stomach- aches; 21 head-aches; 19 minor injuries (cuts, bruises, bumps, etc.); 18 coughs and colds; 6 sore throats; 8 nose bleeds; 6 rash- es; 5 emotional problems; 2 toothaches; 2 nuisance diseases; and 31 miscellaneous complaints (1 hangnail, 1 splinter, 1 fatigue, several health talks, etc.)
In conclusion I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the school principal, Mr. Fleming. His genuine interest in the health education of all students has contributed toward ensuring the well-being of all Berkley school children. I also wish to thank all the teachers for their cooperation in helping me to carry out the necessary screening tests; Dr. Poole, school phy- sician, for his helpful suggestions and recommendations; Mrs. Straffin, secretary, for her time in typing and mimeographing health educational material for use in the classrooms; school nurses in Dighton and Rehoboth for offering the use of their vision and hearing equipment; and to all the parents for their cooperation and interest in helping us carry out a good health program for all the students in the Berkley Schools.
I also wish to thank you, Mr. Roy, and the School Commit- tee for appointing me as school nurse of the Berkley Public Schools.
It is a pleasure to serve in the Town of Berkley.
Respectfully submitted,
ANITA K. MACIEJOWSKI, School Nurse

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. Robert T. Roy Superintendent of Schools North Dighton, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
Physical examinations in both schools are largely completed with the capable assistance of Mrs. Maciejowski, School Nurse. Students are maintaining a commendable degree of health and development.
First aid procedures, School Health rules and principles have been established or revised.
School Nurse is taking special work in the use of Massachu- setts Vision Test and the Audiometer. Examinations of hearing and vision are well under way.
Because of the developing "Suburban" classification of many of our new families (where one or both parents work at some distance from Berkley), we are faced with increasing difficulty in sending home promptly those children who are found to be ill during the school session. The possibility of partitioning off a cubicle in the Health Room where children with fevers could be isolated without upsetting School Health activities or expos- ing other pupils to their illnesses, should be investigated.
My gratitude again goes to all personnel in the Berkley Schools for patience and cooperation.
Respectfully,
DR. ALAN M. POOLE,
School Physician

Seven meetings of the finance committee were held during the year.
We would urge the voters to follow the finance committee's recommendations to hold any increase in the tax rate to a minimum.
