Vocal music continues to be a very important part of the music pro- gram throughout all grades. I am very grateful for the assistance of the grade teachers in promoting an active vocal program. These grades were supervised by Miss Dorothy Ferry until she resigned at the end of the school year and since September Mr. Richard Nelson has very capably assumed these duties. I supervise the vocal music at the School Street

ANNUAL REPORT
School and in the fourth and fifth grades at the Mayflower School. Mrs. Berlene Casselberry teaches all of the vocal music at the Middleborough Junior High School.
The vocal program at the high school level consists of a male glee club conducted by Mr. Nelson, a girls' glee club and an a cappella choir which I direct. The two glee clubs meet once each week and are primarily training groups for the a cappella choir.
One of the highlights of the year was the program presented by the a cappella choir in Springfield, Massachusetts last March. The audience consisted of over three hundred music educators. At the end of the program the choir received a standing ovation from the audience and I was overwhelmed with congratulations from my contemporaries in this field of public school music.
The instrumental music program continues to attract large numbers of youngsters from the fourth grade through high school. Our High School Band this year has a membership of about eighty, the Junior High School Band consists of about fifty girls and boys from the seventh and eighth grades, and the Elementary School Band has a membership of about seventy. Many of the residents of the Town were impressed when they witnessed the Veterans' Day Parade with our three bands with a membership of about two hundred girls and boys. About the middle of November we started a new class of seventy beginners. These children will be given free class lessons by Mr. Nelson for the remainder of the school year.
I selected sixteen boys and girls from the Memorial High School Band and formed a dance band unit, which has met once each week. However, due to conflictions in the schedule, I have had to omit rehearsals during the basketball season. I sincerely hope that this very important phase of instrumental music can be continued in the near future.
Other instrumental groups at the high school level consist of a string trio, a flute trio, a brass ensemble and the orchestra.
During National Music Week last May, Miss Ferry and I presented a series of four concerts, which began with the annual band concert in the Town Hall. All three bands performed at this concert. On the follow- ing Monday night a concert was given in the Mayflower School. The per- formers were children from the fourth and fifth grades of the West Side School, School Street School and the Mayflower School. The program con- sisted of both instrumental and vocal selections. On Wednesday evening the Middleborough Junior High School boys and girls presented their program in the Memorial High School auditorium and on Friday evening the Memorial High School musical groups performed.
The personnel of the music department has planned, rehearsed and presented forty public appearances of our young people during the year

Annual Report of the Director of Athletics
The most noteworthy changes in the athletic program in 1958 took place at the Middleborough Junior High School. Under the direction of Miss E. Fen Carpenter, a much more extensive intramural program for the girls was carried out than in previous years. Basketball, badminton and field hockey were the sports concentrated on mostly.
Under the direction of Mr. Edwin Denton, the boys also had an accelerated intramural, as well as interscholastic, program. In addition to basketball and baseball, soccer was introduced for the first time and a six team intramural league interested about 75 boys in participating in this active sport all fall.
The big obstacle in the Middleborough Junior High athletic program is the lack of an adequate athletic field. Last spring the boys traveled back and forth from the West Side Playground for all of their baseball activity. This past fall the girls played field hockey on the same field the

ANNUAL REPORT
boys used for soccer, making it necessary for one group or the other to have a maximum of two days each week for their activity.
The only change in the athletic program at the Memorial High School found the cross country team competing for the first time in the newly formed Old Colony Cross Country League. Under the able direction of Coach Kearney, they not only won all the league meets, but the non league meets as well, and wound up the season by coming in first in the South Shore District meet.

During September of this year the Middleboro School Committee received bids for the installation of a cafeteria at the Union Street School. The actual installation was begun after Thanksgiving and open- ing is contemplated for January of 1959. This new cafeteria will make it possible for the pupils at this school to have the opportunity to purchase a hot noon meal.
