In Memoriam
DR. E. HAROLD DONOVAN
PLYMOUTH SCHOOL COMMITTEE - 1928 - 1952
It is fitting that we give thought to one who devoted so much of his life to the direction of our schools and the welfare of our children. Able in his profession, gifted in many other fields, his genius was for friendship. His innate respect and liking for men from all walks of life brought people to him whenever they needed informa- tion, advice, or help. He never withheld himself when another needed a friendly hand.
Without abandoning his own principles or his point of view he yet was able to see the merits of the other side of any question: a faculty which made him quick to compose differences and to bring together opposing opinions. On rare occasions when he could not agree, he differed with- out rancor.
These sound human qualities rooted in a sweet nature and informed by a gentle wit, gave confidence to all who worked with him in our school system: officials, teachers, children. It was inevitable that in such a relationship a strong bond of respect and affection should develop to last through the years-a bond which perhaps can be looked upon as the greatest tribute his fellow-townsmen could pay him; a bond that gave him strength and com- fort when he so sorely needed them.
It is given to few men to reap so richly where they have sown, and there are few men who so richly deserve the esteem and the love of their fellow men. To Dr. E. Harold Donovan, we are deeply indebted, and shall be as long as there are schools in Plymouth.

IN MEMORY OF BURR F. JONES
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, 1941 - 1952
The measure of a man is to be found in the hearts of his friends. Those who know and love him, who cherish the same ideals and respect the same virtues can best understand the heart of him they call friend. And this not in the sense of an appraisal, but rather with the warm-hearted gratitude that flows from the recognition that here is a man.
All too often the self-effacing and self-denying qualities that are essential to true magnanimity obscure or con- ceal the real stature of a man, and it is not until the angel of death has swept away the nonessentials that true worth and dignity stand forth. For true achievement is not to be measured by material progress nor necessarily by any of the concomitants of materiality.
Man's worth is of his spirit.
Look, therefore, into your own hearts to find his kindly nature, his sympathy; search your minds to find the quick intelligence, the ready response, the directing energy which informed his nature and was transmitted to you by his example. Look into the eyes of the children and you will see the friendliness with which he looked upon them. For now that he is gone where else on this earth can we find him?
Those of us who worked with Mr. Jones, those of us who worked-as we all must-for the children, under his guidance, will miss him. The days as they pass will remind us of his smile, his gentle manner, his warm hand- clasp, his soft-spoken, heartening words. And whatever of sadness these memories may bring they will also bring the courage and the firm faith that emanated from him as he met his daily duties. From school to school, with teachers or with pupils, in his office, at committee meet-
-316-
ings, in all his goings-out and comings-in, he shouldered more than his share of the problems that beset us all in trying to teach the young. Doggedly he set himself to work for the betterment of our schools that our children might have a chance at a better life. Patiently he listened to our troubles and bore with our complaints. And from him came no complaints-although his heart must often have been sore. He had to face his share of defeats and dis- appointments, and dismay must often have dogged his footsteps and invaded his thoughts. Yet somehow he found a way to go on-and to go forward. This last year of his illness can teach us all much of what makes for grandeur in human character.
Yet he was no paragon, no inhuman embodiment of per- fection-aloof, austere. He wore his faults as becomingly as his virtues, and in humility tried to make up for his shortcomings. There was no pretense about him, no "pose." He was-openly-what he was; and like most of us, wished, and worked, that he might be better. He was too honest to attempt to impress by reason of his position and authority, too modest to put himself forward for pub- lic praise, too fair-minded to throw his shadow over fellow-workers.
His light should long illumine our lives.

IN APPRECIATION
We, the undersigned members of the School Commit- tee, deeply regret the decision of Mr. William H. Armstrong, our senior member, to retire from the School Committee at the end of his term, March 1, 1953. Mr. Armstrong was appointed by the Selectmen in April, 1944, as a military substitute for Dr. Francis E. LeBaron, after having served the Town on the Advisory and Finance Committee from 1939 to 1941. He has been re-elected regularly and served continuously since that time.
Mr. Armstrong's service has helped to carry the schools of Plymouth through the difficult years of World War II with the resulting shortages of teachers, supplies, and materials, and through the period of adjustment following that War. His wide experience in business and his knowledge of the building trades have proven to be of inestimable value to the schools during his many years of service with us. Especially has his guidance been needed and freely given during the past few years when so many school-building activities and major repair proj- ects were being undertaken. We extend to him our heart- felt thanks for rendering such unselfish service to the children of this community and offer our heartiest con- gratulations for a job "well done" for the citizens of Plymouth.

ANNUAL REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE AND SUPERINTENDENT TO THE CITIZENS OF PLYMOUTH
This, the annual report of the public schools, will indi- cate some of the improvements made in our school system during the past year and some of the areas where we hope to show improvement in the future.
SCHOOL PLANT
Plymouth can be justly proud of its two new elemen- tary schools. The eight-classroom Cold Spring School was occupied on September 5, 1951, and the six-classroom Manomet School was occupied on November 17, 1952. In addition to providing the Town with two buildings of unusual beauty, they have also offered temporary relief for the overcrowded classrooms in some of the old schools. In addition to replacing 61/2 discarded classrooms, they have provided 71/2 more rooms than were available in June, 1951. In 1949, the late Superintendent, Burr F. Jones, predicted that we would need approximately twenty-four additional classrooms by 1958. Actual en- rollment figures up to date show that these predictions were remarkably accurate. The 71/2 additional classrooms have given us an excellent start toward this goal.
Where the next classrooms should be constructed is a problem which should be studied at the earliest possible moment. It is urgently necessary that a Committee be appointed to study school enrollments expected in the next few years and examine population trends for the purpose of recommending suitable locations for additional school construction.
Excellent progress is being made in improving the con- dition of the older school buildings. In 1952 the following major repairs and improvements were accomplished:
-323-
Hedge School
Waterproofing west side of south wing.
Painting interior of south wing.
Junior-Senior High School
Painting wooden areas on exterior of both buildings.
Painting interior of Junior High School.
Sanding and refinishing one entire floor in Senior High School.
Waterproofing east and west ends of Senior High School.
Modernizing boys' toilets in Junior High School.
New incinerator for burning rubbish.
Grading and fencing of new playground area.
Cold Spring School
Construction of large catch basin and related projects for improving drainage condition.
The School Committee is asking for appropriations to continue the work of repairs and improvements in 1953 as follows:
(1) New roof on Mount Pleasant School - $3380.
(2) Repairs to roofs of Cornish, Burton and Hedge Schools - $2408.
(3) Modernizing boys' and girls' toilets at Hedge School with new urinals, improved lighting and ventila- tion - $2300.
(4) Painting auditorium and interior of north wing of Hedge School - $4200.
(5) Repair gutters on Junior-Senior High School - $1100.
(6) Soundproofing the ceiling of the High School Gym- nasium - $2965.
(7) To begin a program of providing the elementary school playgrounds with permanent play equip- ment and complete work on new playground at Junior-Senior High School.
-324-
TEACHERS
Despite a nation-wide campaign by the National Edu- cation Association to recruit large numbers of desirable High School graduates for teacher-training institutions, the supply of qualified teachers for elementary school classrooms lags alarmingly behind the growing demands. Too many of the college graduates have prepared them- selves for teaching in the Junior and Senior High Schools where there are few jobs available except in specialized fields. Colleges are offering special courses to retrain these people who wish to enter the elementary field. There are too few graduates of Teachers College who have pre- pared themselves especially for elementary school teach- ing where the demands for teachers are so great. Teachers who have retired from the profession are being encouraged to take refresher courses and go back into teacher-less classrooms. Plymouth has experienced an unprecedented demand for elementary teachers during the present school year. From November 1 to January 1 it became necessary to find seven new teachers - four be- cause of resignations, two due to the opening of the Manomet School, and one vacancy occasioned by promo- tions in the system. We are averaging approximately 20% turnover in our elementary teaching staff each year.
Large numbers of Plymouth teachers continue to take courses in education to improve their teaching. Courses have been taken by Plymouth teachers during the past year at Bridgewater Teachers College, Boston University, Clark University, Lesley Teachers College and Oregon School of Education. Over thirty Plymouth teachers have taken a Harvard-Boston University Extension Course on elementary science given at Plymouth. Future courses of this type are to be made available in Plymouth and neighboring towns.
-325-
CHILDREN IN TROUBLE
Plymouth as well as most other communities finds itself concerned with the problems and delinquencies of youth. This whole question has received nation-wide attention during the past few years with the result that there is much over-emphasis on the entire problem. However, we do find many of our boys and girls involved in situations which all too often bring them before the courts. These children with their problems indicate a need for expert counseling and guidance service. This service, if provided for children and their parents before the problems become acute, would greatly reduce the number of more serious maladjustments. The medical profession tells us that one out of every eleven persons now living will spend some- time during his life in a mental hospital. Early and expert diagnosis of these cases is necessary. Problem children are often detected by the teaching staff as early as the first grade.
With no facilities to study these children in Plymouth, we make reference to the Brockton Guidance Clinic or one of the Boston Clinics. Because of many difficulties in- volved such as distance, cost, and overcrowded clinics, it is often impossible to get proper help for these children. They continue in school with their problems becoming increasingly more acute. A Child Guidance Clinic is needed in Plymouth at least on a one- or two-day per week basis. Expert psychiatric help given to children and their parents at the proper time, and information and advice given to the schools to help in the handling of these children would go a long way toward eliminating malad- justments before they reached serious proportions.
SCHOOL BUILDING PROGRAM
On November 17th, 130 pupils and six teachers began their work at the new Manomet School, marking another milestone in Plymouth's program to provide adequate housing facilities for its school children. The new Mano-
-326-
met Elementary School occupies an ideal location on approximately ten acres of land, formerly known as the Pratt lot on Point Road. It is located on a knoll high enough to overlook the ocean on two sides. Designed by Walter Gaffney & Associates and built by the C. A. Batson Construction Company, this school is an excellent example of modern elementary school design and con- struction. All rooms are located on one floor. There are six classrooms - four of which are 35' by 28' and the other two are 321/2' by 29'. Each room has a sink with hot and cold water, filing equipment, movable furniture, green chalk boards, built-in pupils' wardrobes, and ample stor- age space. The combination auditorium, playroom and lunch-room is 421/2' by 67'. The kitchen is at one end of this room and the stage at the opposite end. Bilateral lighting and an accordion type arrangement to shut off the kitchen from the main room are two interesting features of this room. Another unusual feature of this all-purpose room is the use made of folding tables and benches for lunch room purposes. Each of the ten sets of Schieber folding benches and tables will seat 20 students for lunch. When not in use, the tables and benches will fold back flush into the wall. Rollers on each bench and table make the transition from lunch room to playroom a quick and easy one. When used as an auditorium, there are folding chairs which are provided with fasteners and clamps according to state law. In addition, rubber wheels on each row of seats make it possible for one person to roll the seats in and out of the store room, located at the rear of the hall. Since prepared meals are sent to the school daily from the Cold Spring School Lunch Preparation Center, the kitchen is not fully equipped for large scale food preparation.
The health suite consists of three rooms - a dental clinic equipped with chair, power unit, sterilizer, and storage facilities, a nurse's room where eye and ear testing may be carried on, and a small waiting room.
-327-
Two other special rooms are located on either side of the entrance - a teachers' room and workroom. The Princi- pal's Office is adjacent to the classroom where the Principal teaches.
All floors are of asphalt tile except for the toilets which are of ceramic tile. Ceilings are of sound-absorbing acoustical tile throughout the building. The hall has glazed tile to the height of 5'4". Walls above the tile are of painted plaster. Classroom walls are of plaster painted in pastel shades blending in perfect harmony with the other colors in the room.
