Last year, the High School Orchestra furnished music for the senior play and also for the graduation exercises. This year's orchestra is pro- gressing favorably. A double bass has been given to the High School and we have the use of a baritone.
Both the Girls' and the Boys' Glee Clubs are doing good work. As with other organizations of the school, membership in the glee clubs and orchestra depends upon the scholarship of the pupil.
Again, I wish to thank all for the interest they have taken in my work.
Respectfully submitted,
M. MARION ADAMS,
Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIANS
Mr. W. K. Putney,
Superintendent of Schools,
Chelmsford, Mass.
Dear Sir :
The inspection of the schools of precincts one and four showed the follow- ing : Tonsils, 41; adenoids, 35; strabismus, 3; otitis media. 1; anaemia, 1; pediculosis, ring worm, itch, impetio, several cases of each. Mumps have appeared.
A small epidemic of scarlet fever broke out in October consisting of fifteen cases, and, although of mild character were typical cases. None resulted fatally.
Very respectfully,
ARTHUR G. SCOBORIA, M. D., School Physician.
Mr. W. K. Putney, Superintendent of Schools, Chelmsford, Mass.
Dear Sir :
The annual inspection of the schools has been made.
- The general appearance and the general health of school children im- proves from year to year, with very marked improvement over a few years ago. Measles have been very prevalent, interfering with school work. Mothers should use more care in sending their children to school when they are sick. Many contagious diseases are spread in this way.
It is my desire to be as helpful as possible.
Very truly yours,
FRED E. VARNEY, M. D., School Physician.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Chelmsford, Mass., Jan. 5, 1921.
Mr. Walter K. Putney, Superintendent of Schools, Chelmsford, Mass.
Dear Sir :
During the past year I have planned the drawing course in the Chelmsford schools to include not only actual drawing, but to also take in the every day problems connected with art.
The work in the upper grades has taken in simple construction problems, designing, study of roof types, nature work, with a few studies in water color, object drawing and printing. The work in these grades has necessarily had to be very simple as the pupils have not had drawing for a year and a half.
The primary grades have become quite proficient in paper cutting. This . has helped them in other work, which included illustration, object drawing, and construction problems of a very simple nature.
The High School course is made up of both freehand and mechanical drawing. The girls became very interested in interior decoration and in color combinations for costumes.
In June an exhibition of the work done in all the schools was given at both town halls. This has induced the children to do their very best in order that their work might be among the lucky few to "have a drawing on exhibition."
I wish to express to you and to the members of the school committee my gratitude for your kindness during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
LYDIA M. DESORMEAUX,
Drawing Supervisor.

CLASS ODE.
Now we reach the day of parting, Say farewell to classmates all. Happy days we've spent together, Pleasures we shall oft recall. As we enter on life's journey, Each his separate way to take, May the lessons we have garnered Teach us well our way to make.
The laurel we will ever cherish And its meaning ne'er forget. Though our hopes and aims may perish, Our ambition will be yet Climbing still and ever climbing
Heeding not life's care and stress Always faithful to our motto, Climbing upward to success.
Graduation means Commencement.
Life for us is but begun. May our colors, rose and silver Hold a lesson for each one. May our "clouds have silver lining," All our days, a rosy hue. To our school be ever loyal, To our motto, ever true.
CHORUS.
Climb to Success-Climbing Upward to Success With courage true-we'll conquer by our faithfulness Climb to Success-ever to our motto true Then upward all-faithfully our work we'll do. MARGUERITA ELLIS.
