ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


HIGH SCHOOL


JOHN T. CONRAD, PRINCIPAL


The safeguarding of the needs of individual pupils is the major concern of the modern school. Instruction must be carried on in groups, and we are confronted with the necessity of recogniz- ing the marked individual differences of pupils within these groups and of making provisions for those differences.


We are now aware that "education for all youth" is not in itself sufficient. We know today that education must be fitted to youth. We have too long committed the error of assuming that a free high school education is synonymous with equal educational opportunity for all. A high school which focuses its attention upon the needs of only a portion of its membership is certainly not fulfilling the purposes of education in a democracy. As our young people move into adulthood, each one is entitled to receive help in achieving maturity, occupational efficiency, good citizen- ship. and worthy home membership. What philosophy of life an individual teenager develops and what code of ethical values he evolves are matters of infinite community concern, and call for all-out aid from the school.


This problem of meeting individual needs concerns us seri- ously at Chelmsford High School. We need to evaluate and to adjust our curriculum if we are to accept the challenge of modern education. Increased enrollment is forcing us to curtail the courses we offer at the same time that we increase the number of pupils in our classes. The pressure of greater increases in enroll- ment next year will make imperative further curtailment of pro- gram and further enlargement of divisions, unless we act to remedy the situation.


The following table shows the number of Chelmsford gradu- ates who attend post-secondary schools, in relation to the number of those who do not. The need for curriculum adjustment is obvious.

The over-all purposes of the high school are not new. Secon- dary education is determined by three things: the needs of the society to be served, the character of the individuals to be edu- cated, and the total available knowledge of educational theory

and practice. Society is always in the process of development, as are the sciences upon which educational theory and practice depend. We must be prepared to make changes and adjustments as we grow with our times and apply ourselves with new dedica- tion to our great task.


Once more I should like to emphasize that the public school is a cooperative endeavor. A good school is not an accident, nor does it result from the isolated effort of one individual or one group of individuals, as helpful and inspiring as that effort may be. It is accomplished by the combined efforts of the School Committee, Superintendent of Schools, teachers, and townspeople. I pledge again my best effort, and again I ask of you the interest, understanding, and support that is so vital to successful public school education.


PHYSICAL EDUCATION


BOYS


VICTOR P. CALIRI


Numerous articles and books have been written about the objectives of physical education and its contributions to the indi- vidual, to the school, to society, and to democracy. The physical education program in the Town of Chelmsford is directed to the very crux of the situation; namely, striving to attain these im- pressive objectives.


A very important result of modern school education is that parents and educators are recognizing the desirability of letting every elementary and secondary school student have the oppor- tunity to participate in physical education and to learn to play games and develop skills. The burden of responsibility then falls upon the physical education supervisor to use the best techniques possible in order that the students may derive maximum benefits through physical education.


This year the physical education program is attempting to pursue the following criteria:


1. Provide a varied programı.


2. Take into account student desires, if possible.


3. Require total class participation.


4. Teach skills efficiently.


5. Make sure that activities are fun.


6. Actively teach sportsmanship.


7. Avoid situations which needlessly embarrass individual students.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


The elementary program starting with the fifth grade stresses the basic skill drills in the following sports: football, speedball, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. As the particular sport sea- son progresses, these skill drills are supplemented with selected lead-up games and control games. Tumbling, marching, and basic gymnastics complete the winter program.


The junior high school program, comprising grades seven and eight, attempts to introduce the students to a more advanced routine of physical education. This serves as a basic preparation for the senior high school program. The main problem at this level at the present time is the lack of time and facilities.


An intramural basketball league is being started at the eighth grade level and includes the senior high school. Games will be played during the regular gym period with the playoff games tak- ing place after school hours.


The senior high school program consists of skill drills, highly organized activities, lead-up games, and control games in all various sports. The full program consists of: calisthenics, touch football, speedball, and soccer. The winter program consists of: calisthenics on a more advanced basis for body building, limited apparatus work, gymnastics, tumbling, military drill, and basket- ball. The spring program consists of: calisthenics, volleyball, military drill, baseball and softball.


The annual field day in May concludes the spring program.


PHYSICAL EDUCATION


GIRLS


MARY P. LYNCH


Motor skills play an important role in the social development of the child. A child's motor development will have an important bearing upon emotional features of his behavior. The unskilled child on the playground or in the gymnasium will have occasion to be insecure, fearful, or angry in facing a problem beyond his physical ability while his skilled classmate will meet the situation more easily. The physical education program, therefore, strives to teach the skills which will help the children of Chelmsford adjust easily to all problems, thus lessening physical, emotional, and mental strain.


The playground and gymnasium are superb laboratories for studying the individual because in play inhibitions are largely absent. In games, the broad range of emotions and social impulses that are aroused give numerous and realistic conduct situations in which behavior patterns may be observed. Problems facing our


286


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


children may be discovered by these observations and eliminated early in the child's career.


Because of the large number of children in the schools it is still necessary for the classroom teachers in the first three grades to handle the physical education program. These teachers stress the basic motor skills of skipping, hopping, running, and jumping by means of relays and games of low organization.


My time is devoted to the upper grades. Each fourth grade class has one twenty-five minute physical education class a week. In these classes games of higher organization are taught along with ball skills, tumbling, rhythmic activities, and elementary gymnastics and marching.


From the fifth grade up I work just with the girls. Each fifth and sixth grade class has one-half hour class in physical educa- tion a week. In these classes the same basic ball skills are stressed with additional time being devoted to more highly organized games and lead-up games for team sports. Some time is also devoted to rhythmic activities, gymnastics, tumbling and march- ing.


Because of a lack of time and space the girls in the seventh and eighth grades are limited to one forty-five minute class every three weeks. The program in this area is therefore very limited but stress is put on posture training, rhythmic activities and lead- up games for team sports. During the fall I was able to have field hockey two afternoons a week for the girls. In the spring I hope to be able to schedule softball in a similar program.


Each senior high school student has two forty-five minute physical education classes a week. In these classes fundamental skills in field hockey, basketball, volleyball, and softball are taught. Another phase of the program includes posture training, rhythmic activities, gymnastics, marching and field events.


Varsity teams represent Chelmsford in field hockey, basket- ball, and softball and these teams play in interscholastic competi- tion in this area.


MUSIC OLIVE LITTLEHALE


The music program of the Chelmsford Schools is based on the five-fold program as suggested by the National Music Com- mittee on Music Education:


Rhythmic Playing


Singing Listening


Creating


287


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


The music education of every child should begin with singing. A great deal of individual singing is carried out in the primary grades. A chorus is available for all those in Grades 4 through 6 who like to sing. This year, special Glee Clubs were formed. Auditions were held for membership. The North School's Special Glee Club and Chorus sang with outstanding success for the P.T.A. at its Christmas meeting.


The listening program continues to offer children an oppor- tunity to participate in one of the very important phases of music education. Even the non-singer finds here the joy and satisfaction of being one with his class in listening to good music.


Rhythm is stressed in the overall pattern as it not only adds to the childrens' pleasure and appreciation of music but to their general well being. A well coordinated child is a happy child. The square dance program has been extended to include all grades, one through six.


The pageant for the Chelmsford Tercentenary was written, staged and directed by me. It included children in all grades- one through high school. The preparation was carried on in the classroom in grades 1 through 6 and therefore took the place of the annual Music Festival.


This year instruments were introduced in the fourth grades through the use of Song Flutes. In previous years there has been no tie-up between the rhythm instrument program and the instru- mental program as carried on by Mr. Bordeleau. The use of Song Flutes makes this necessary transition. Next year it is hoped to extend this program to include the third grades.


During the summer in conjunction with Mr. Driscoll, State Supervisor of Public School Music, a Vocal Music Education Program was studied and presented to Mr. Rivard. The sugges- tions made in this survey were taken into consideration in setting up this year's music program for Grades 1 through 6.


I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who, in any way, made this program possible.


MUSIC PAUL E. BORDELEAU


1955 has truly been a busy year, especially since music played such a great part in the Tercentenary celebration.


The Chelmsford High School Band appeared in the Billerica Tercentenary Parade, the Chelmsford Tercentenary Parade, the Tercentenary Pageant, the Lowell High School Field Day Parade, in Beverly for the Northeastern Music Festival, the Memorial


288


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


Day Parade, the Chelmsford Field Day, for the Graduation Exer- cises, and at their own Band Concert held in May. The Band appeared at the football games this fall and also participated in the Boston University Pand Day at Boston University Field in November at the invitation of Boston University. In addition to this, the band also performs for various school functions such as assemblies, pep-rallies, etc.


In February, Richard DeFreitas, clarinetist in the band, re- presented Chelmsford High School at the All-State Band Concert held in Symphony Hall in Boston, Mass.


In April, a Solo and Ensemble Festival was held at the High School, in which the better players from the 5th to 12th grades appeared.


This year the band is bigger than ever. It is composed of 52 members, a well balanced instrumentation, and with performers who are improving all the time.


In November, the Jr. High School Band made its debut at the newly organized High School Parent-Teacher Association. The band is made up of 27 members with 10 more members to be added in the near future as they are ready. The band has also performed for Jr. High assemblies.


There are now three elementary bands, one in each of the elementary schools. These bands are made up of students from the 5th and 6th grades. The North School Band performed in November for the North School Parent-Teacher Association and also for the Christmas Assembly. The Center School Band per- formed at the Christmas Assembly. The Westlands School Band will make its debut in the near future.


Since I am also the director of the High School Glee Clubs, mention should be made of the fine work that this special group of 36 voices did in the Spring. They appeared at the Tercentenary Celebration, the Spring Band Concerts and at various other activities. Out of this group, I picked four girls with outstanding voices and formed the Mellotones. The Mellotones appeared at the Northeastern Music Festival in Beverly, helped provide enter- tainment during the Tercentenary Celebration, appeared at the Talent Show, and many other places, including Television station WMUR in Manchester, N.H.


This year the Glee Club is larger due to the increased enroll- ment of students in the High School. At the Christmas Assembly, the Glee Club performed the Fred Waring arrangement of "The Night Before Chrismas".

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


ART PROGRAM E. RUTH GREENBERG


The philosophy of the Art Education Program is summed up in the following paragraph found in the Massachusetts Curriculum Guide:


"Art as an essential part of education contributes to the full development of each child and to the community in which he lives. It is an interpretation of life, and must be as creative as life itself."


The standard for judging art is not nature. The child should express his own ideas as he sees them, not by copying, or tracing patterns. This expression comes about through the use of the art elements: Line, form, color, texture, dark and light. Art educa- tion is concerned with the individual response of the child to his environment through these elements. We must remember that self-expression is the appropriate mode of expression according to the age level of the child. By developing powers of observation of the art elements, the child will be able to express his thoughts and ideas.


The art program encourages creative activity, which to a great extent, consists of activating a child's passive knowledge; knowledge which the child has, but does not use. It is our job to encourage originality, creative expression and initiative through understanding, and guidance, rather than direct, nega- tive criticism.


Many children are limited in graphic expression, but art appreciation will grow through lessons which provide both "doing" and "seeing" experiences. Art experiences which will help them in their everyday living, come about through lessons which train them to select their clothes in good taste, plan at- tractive homes, and to beautify the community.


Working together successfully, to develop desirable social habits and good citizenship is brought about through class proj- ects, which are experiences in responsibility, cooperation and initiative.


At all levels, the children have lessons in painting, clay modeling, paper sculpture, and various kinds of crayon work, which are basic art materials. As the children advance in grade level, the scope and understanding of these materials are broad- ened, and new media are introduced. More art facts are given at the upper levels. Because of diversified interests as the child advances, more craft work is introduced.


290


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


An art experience must be meaningful, but the value of this experience is increased greatly, when the child receives joy from working with the art materials.


SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT HELEN M. JEWETT, R.N.


The following is a tabulation of the work carried on during the year, 1955:


Number of visits to schools 424


Number of visits to homes for defective causes 188


First Aid in schools 252


Number of pupils sent or taken home on account of


contageous or suspected illness 166


Pupils inspected in school 1,056


Health discussions 60


Number of children accompanied or referred to:


Doctor 14


Hospital 23


Heart Clinic 10


Eye Specialist 12


Individual instruction to pupils 35


Part of the work of the school nurse consists of following up her "pupil-patients" in their homes. Occasionally the child's parents are unaware of the various state and community health and welfare agencies whose facilities can often be advantageously utilized. A timely visit and an informal chat by the School Nurse with a parent may help to establish the proper contact for further assistance.


The pupil's vision and hearing tests are conducted annually. Two percent of the children tested were found to have some hear- ing defect while 21 percent failed some part of the vision test.


408 children received the initial Salk polio vaccine. The details for this year's program for giving polio vaccine have not yet been formulated.


Our school Physicians examined all children in Grade 1, 4, 7, and 11. Notices were sent home reporting any physical defects discovered during these examinations. In addition to these physi- cals, the annual immunization, pre-school and vaccination clinics were held.


The heavy increase in the school enrollment is making it difficult to continue the carrying out of a well-balanced program.


291


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM MARY E. STEVENS


With the opening of the new Center Elementary School in September, we find that we are averaging an increase of over 100 student lunches per day which brings the total for the period from January, 1955 through December, 1955 to 125,140. During the same period 277,073 one-half pints of milk were purchased. Milk consumption by the children has increased and this is partial- ly due to the fact that we are receiving larger subsidy from the Government on milk, enabling us to sell half-pint bottles to students for 3c each.


The State and Federal Government require that certain standards be met which means that each luncheon includes 2 ounces of protein, bread, butter, 3/4 cup vegetables or fruit or a combination of both and 1/2 pint whole white milk. This provides about one-third of the nutritional requirements of school children and so helps carry out the purpose of the School Lunch Program which is "to improve the health of the nation's children through more and better school lunches at lower cost".


The School Lunch Program in Chelmsford has taken on new form and meaning since its beginning when parents sent from home a plate, knife, fork and spoon by each child and kitchen utensils and equipment were donated by individuals and inter- ested groups. The new beautifully and completely equipped cafeterias and kitchens make for better sanitary conditions and efficiency and permit the preparation of more varied menus.


We are most grateful for the fine cooperation which is given us by the School Committee, Superintendent of Schools, princi- pals, teachers, parents and students as well as the faithful em- ployees who prepare and serve our lunches.
