The curriculum for grades VII and VIII was stepped up in two respects. Two trained instructors were elected to teach the pupils in these grades, Household and Industrial Arts. These instructors are employed in a part-time basis in conjunction with a similar program in Paxton, serving Rutland three days per week and Paxton two days per week.


Dividing the seventh and eighth grades so that a larger number of pupils may work to their capacity has proven to be worth while.


The playground has been completed and the several pieces of apparatus installed.


6


Standardized tests in achievement were given in grades three through eight, covering reading, arithmetic, English and spelling. The following gives the standing of Rutland pupils as compared with the average norm for each grade:

Grade III 114 V 107


VII 104


Safety is continually being taught and practiced in the school. However, cooperative assistance is needed in the homes and other community agencies.


The Rutland pupils have $12,192.39 in the Savings Banks of Worcester. Each school week collections are made and de- posited.


Music - Miss Ruth S. Innes reports: The music program en- compasses the following activities: playing instruments, listening, singing, music reading, rhythms and dancing and creative activities.


Mr. Richard H. Bowden provides weekly instruction to string, woodwind and brass classes in grades four through eight. App- roximately forty-two students are in this program.


The Glee Club numbering seventy members and composed of students from grades seven and eight meets weekly and performs publicly and when school assemblies permit.


7


ART - Mr. George N. Morris reports: During the past year and a half an attempt has been made to lay a foundation for an approach to the teaching of Art which coincides with the best art education today. In order to help the teachers in this respect, a handbook has been written and provided for each teacher, which analyzes the general aims of art education and describes some of the many possible art techniques. An art materials workshop course has been offered. An effort is being made to increase parent understanding of public school art by offering to conduct art programs for the Parent-Teacher Ass- ociations. Annual exhibitions in the schools are being planned for the coming year. Progress in art has been more than satis- factory from a supervisor's standpoint.


HEALTH - Mrs. Helen P. Olmstead reports briefly on the activi- ties of the school health program: There were one hundred thirty-nine children who received physical examinations. Written notices were sent to parents of children who were found to have physical defects. Vision tests were given to three hundred seventy-five pupils who passed and fourteen who did not. These fourteen have received treatment. A screening test for hearing was administered and those who were tested passed. Pre-School and Immunization clinics were held.


A dental hygiene program was instituted in the first three grades through the cooperation of the State Department of the Public Health. Its purpose was to find and promote the corre- ction of dental defects and to educate the children to practice correct dental hygiene procedures. Ninety-seven were found to have defects and the number of known corrections was fifty- three. Reports, home visits, keeping health records, obtaining information as to whom to contact in case parents cannot be reached in cases of emergency are among the other activities carried on through the health program.


Raymond Bogosian, Principal reports on the following: Outstanding activities or facts that should be recorded for the school year 1956-57 are as follows:


The class of 1957 had many activities, the highlights of which were the class trip, the banquet and the year book. The trip included a bus ride to Boston and a boat ride to Nantasket Beach. On the return to Boston the class saw the Cinerama selection "The Seven Wonders of the World" .


8


The yearbook was compiled by the students and the expense of printing was defrayed by soliciting ads.


The class banquet was held at the Old Mill in Westminster. The following textbook changes have been made: Arithmetic


books have been replaced in grades I to VIII. Social Studies books have been replaced in grades III to VI.


An accelerated mathematics and science program has been established for those students who plan to take college pre- paratory courses at the Wachusett Regional High School next fall.

13


Your Committee has continued working with the school's adminestration on its problems of finance, salaries, teacher supply, class-room needs, building needs and changes in ad- ministrative personnel.


In keeping with our policy of maintaining conditions att- ractive to the teaching staff we have continued to raise pay scales. This has been at a rate as consistent as possible with that of other towns in the area, but has been tempered by our ability as taxpayers to meet increasing tax requirements. This item which accounts for 70 to 75% of our operating budget has increased as follows :


1956-$260,770.00 1957-$295,020.00 1958-$327,600.00


These items reflect not only salary increases but enroll- ment growth which requires an addition of 1 to 3 teachers per year.


This question of enrollment growth has occupied your Committee as they continued the study of plans for an addition. They have held meetings with local town officials, and have re- ceived the report of an educational consultant, Dr. John E. Marshall, to help them in their decisions. Work on this pro- ject will continue .


The Committee accepted as a gift from the first three graduating classes those very striking stainless steel letters now mounted on the outside of the building and identifying the school.


Changes in administration were made with the resignation (accepted with regret) of our principal Mr. Gordon Thomas, and the election of our new principal, Mr. Neal Skillings. Also, being cognizant of Supt. Buker's reaching retirement age in April of 1959, we have started discussions of our whole admini- strative set-up, and have instructeda sub-committee to study the possibility of a more unified administrative set-up for our schools, grades 1 through 12. This, of course, will be undertaken in close cooperation with those other groups now involved with the administration of our schools.


14


The adult education advisory committee, under Mrs. Bourne's leadership, has continued a very worthwhile adult education program.


The school lunch program has continued to expand and in 1957 served 117,029 meals at a cost of approximately $45,000.00. Participation in the program rose from 61% to 67% of the pupils.


The Committee reviewed the educational program several times, but made no major changes except to allow seniors with good scholastic standings to take under certain conditions evening courses in the adult education program.


Policy on smoking was reviewed and a "no smoking" policy continued.


The Committee wishes to express its appreciation for the cooperation of the school administration, staff, pupils and parents in making ours a better school.


Respectfully submitted,


Nelson M. Calkins, Jr.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT


To the Wachusett Regional School District:


During the year a considerable amount of the Superinten- dent's time has been devoted to the study of the future build- ing needs of the district:


A joint conference was held with the Holden Junior High School Building Committee.


L. W. Briggs Associates, architect, submitted preliminary plans for a proposed addition to the High School. Several meetings were held with town officials, from each of the five towns, to study these plans .


An official survey of the building needs of the District was made by Dr. John E. Marshall, a former Director of the Massachusetts School Building Assistance Commission. The re- sults of this survey were presented to the District Committee and to several of the town officials from each of the five towns, and a summary of it released in the local newspapers.


There have been several changes in personnel during the year. On March 11th W. Goulding Warren resigned as Treasurer of the District having served very efficiently in this cap- acity since its organization in 1950. Mr. William F. Lionett was appointed to succeed him.


On April 22nd Gordon M. Thomas resigned as Principal of the High School to accept a principalship in Wilton, Conn- ecticut. This meant considerable work on the part of the Committee and the Superintendent to select a new man.


On August 1st Neal T. Skillings, Principal of the Senior High School in Skowhegan, Maine assumed his duties as the second Principal of the High School.


Eleven vacancies occurred on the teaching staff for which the Superintendent recommended replacements, and one addition- al teacher was hired.


16


The operating budget for 1958 has been set up to take care of the increased enrollment which is anticipated in Sep- tember. It is expected that the inrollment then will be be- tween 1,050 and 1,070. This means that additional equipment will be necessary and possibly two additional teachers .


A look into the future indicates that it will be necessary to provide more classroom space to take care of the increased enrollment. This should be available not later than September of 1960 or double sessions will be inevitable.


In closing, may I express my sincere appreciation for the support given me by the Committee, the Faculty, the Custodians and the Clerical Staff.


May the year 1958 be a year of educational advancement!


Respectfully submitted,


William H. Buker, Superintendent

WACHUSETT REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT


TO: Superintendent William H. Buker and the members of the Wachusett Regional School District Committee .


Enrollment


In its fourth year of operation, Wachusett Regional High School has an enrollment, as of January 10, 1958, of 997 stu- dents, comprising 183 Seniors, 228 Juniors, 273 Sophomores , and 313 Freshmen . Since the rated capacity of this building is 900 pupils, it is obvious that we are badly crowded. In fact, the cafeteria and auditorium are each used all day as classrooms. Present indications are that we shall be even more crowded next year and that the enrollment will continue to increase for several years to come . It is imperative that some means to relieve this undesirable situation be devised as soon as possible so that this school can continue to provide superior secondary education for the boys and girls of this district.


Staff


The size of the faculty has remained the same this year as it was last year, namely 59. However, many changes in personnel took place both before school opened in September and since school has been in operation. Those who have left include Gordon Thomas, the former principal, Miss Patricia Anair, Gordon Cooper, Edward Eisnor, Robert Flagg, Mrs. Lois Hall, Peter Harrity, Phillip Hugo, Carrol Jones, Gerard Rous- seau, Mrs. Charlotte Williams, Mrs. Jean Williams, and Mrs. Hope Bracebridge, the school nurse . Replacements for the above are as follows: Neal Skillings, Principal, Luther All- ison, Lawrence Barrington, Mrs. Anne Bernier, Robert Bombard 9 Mrs. Alice Carr, Harry Lengas, Miss Frances Russell, Miss Rosa Simpson, James Torpey, Frederick Warren, George Yonker and Mrs. Pauline Rose, as school nurse.


Recently Mrs. Helen Still and Nathan Beardsley have re- signed and have been replaced by William Wilbur and James Fleming. It is to be hoped that there will be no more changes amongst the faculty for some time to come. Such a rapid turn- over does not increase the efficiency of school operations.
