REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
To the Superintendent of Schools:
Outstanding activities or facts that should be recorded for the year 1951 are as follows :
The membership for September 1951 was 72. The membership for the previous September 1950 was 73.
January 12th was Good Government Day and Peggy Giblin, '53, was elected to represent the High School at the State House on June 18th when the representatives from all the high schools gathered to officiate for one day.
The boys basketball team participated in the Tri-State Tourn- ament and won the Consolation Trophy.
For the first time in the history of the school, a banquet was held in honor of the students taking part in the basketball program. It was an impressive occasion and it is hoped it will become an annual activity.
Field trips, when well organized and conducted, are recog- nized as good educational adventure. The following trips were made during the year : Boston, involving the Harvard Peabody Museum, subways, swan boats, Public Gardens; Providence, in- volving industry and Roger Williams Park; Worcester, involving Conservation Exhibit, Natural History Museum, Green Hill Park, and Higgins Armored Museum; Old Sturbridge Village; Concord and Lexington; and the New York trip by the Class of 1951.
Members belonging to the Junior Red Cross group have assem- bled and sent out 100 tray mats, one dozen wash cloths, Western Magazines and Reader's Digest for hospitals; 17 ash trays, 30 Christmas tray favors and 6 scrapbooks to the Chapter House; 12 ash trays, 6 scrapbooks, and 160 filled candy Christmas tray favors to the State Sanatorium.

REPORT OF THE RUTLAND CENTER SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
To the Superintendent of Schools:
A summary of the highlights occurring during the year 1951 is as follows.
The purchase and installation of two pieces of playground equipment by the Parent Teacher Association has made the childrens ! recess time more enjoyable. This is a good start, and we hope more can be added in the near future .
We wish also to thank the P.T.A. for their subscription to the New York Times filmstrip series, which aids in the work of instruction.
Miss Stone, who served us faithfully for twenty-two years, resigned to accept a position in the Worcester schools. This position was filled by Mrs. Ronan.
Mrs. Swenson also resigned and the position was filled by Mrs. Young.
We have instituted assembly programs, presented by the pu- pils, which occur every two weeks for grades one through six. The Junior High pupils hold their assemblies with the High School.
I feel we are very fortunate in having secured new textbooks for nearly every subject taught in the school during the past three years. We are working now to improve the Health texts which are changing so constantly in our present world.
We have expanded our classroom libraries in the past two years with a fund that has been set aside by the School Committee.
I wish to thank the School Committee, Superintendent, Teach- ers, Instructors, Parents and Custodians who have been so helpful in making this year a success.

REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The aim of the teaching of music in the schools is to de- velop in all children an intelligent appreciation, and under- standing of music in its broadest sense, and a lasting interest in music as a life resource To accomplish this a five-fold program is presented in the grades - singing, rhythmic activi- ties and dancing, playing instruments, and creating Percep= tions, understandings and skills are cumulatively developed as each child participates in these diversified activities through- out the entire course.
In the first three grades, the children learn that music consists of ideas expressed through tones, called "reading readi- ness" At the fourth grade level we see the emergence of tech- nical controls and insights Two part music begins in the fifth grade and three-part in the sixth.
As part of the listening program, the children have learned to recognize some of the dance forms as well as identifying the instruments of a symphony orchestra by sight and sound.
The high school mixed glee club was ready to perform at Graduation and at Christmas time. A boys octette and a girls! sextette supplement nicely the work of the larger group and pro- vide greater experience and enjoyment for their members .
A representative body of students from the high school par- ticipated in the All-State Concert which took place in the Worcester Auditorium in February Sponsored by the Massachu setts Music Educators Association, this program was the climax to three full days of rehearsing under famous conductors £ The students received an experience long to be remembered, and have applied enthusiastically for readmission this year to the chorus which will perform in Nevins Hall in Framingham, February 16, 1952.

14 REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The pupils in all grades are working with a variety of ma- terials and experimenting with different approaches to art problems.
In the primary grades the work is done mostly with crayons, with occasional problems using colored construction paper. These grades have also worked on a cooperative mural project, and pro- jects for the various holidays.
In the intermediate grades the pupils work with crayons , water colors and colored construction paper. Fire prevention posters, cooperative murals and holiday projects have been in- terspersed with lessons in drawing and painting.
The high school pupils have been working also on a variety of subjects, including posters, landscape renderings and indivi- dual projects.
The teachers in all grades have been most helpful and will- ing in assisting with the art program.
