REPORT OF THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT


Pressing problems confront all concerned with the present and future education of the children of Rutland. The inadequacy of the present facilities for Grades 4-6 and the Junior High Grades 7 & 8 are quite obvious. Junior High classes are meeting in the Auditorium. There are no science, library, or gymnasium facilities available. The cafeteria is too small to meet the needs of the present enrollment. Some of the classrooms housing Grades 4-6 are far too small.


The Engelhardt report recommends that Rutland and Paxton build a regional "middle school" to house grades 6-8. "Rutland should go ahead with plans for the new elementary school to re- place the old one. If grade six is placed in a middle school, however, it will be possible to reduce the number of classrooms needed in the new elementary unit. As planned now (and in- cluding the two plywood classrooms) , in 1968-1969 Rutland will have 19 classrooms. Fifteen will be needed for grades one through five. If two are used for Kindergarten, then it will be possible to reduce the number of classrooms in the new unit by two, or to abandon the plywood unit." ......... Engelhardt Report, January, 1963


The Engelhardt report should be studied carefully, and if in the final analysis it is the decision of the voters not to regionalize with Paxton, then it is of paramount importance that the building program which is in the planning stage at present, incorporate the necessary facilities for a modern Junior High school program.


The School Principal and teaching staff are to be commended for their attention to the present and future needs of the child- ren of Rutland.


Dr. Charles L. Bowlby

REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL


The calendar year just completed found the Rutland School System operated under two different principals. The first of these , Mr. Raymond Bogosian, ran the school until June 30, 1962 at which time the responsibility shifted to myself, Mr. Charles G. Varjian. The system was quite familiar to me as, up until - --- --- that time, I had completed five years as a mathematics teacher. The last two of these years I served also as Assistant Principal .


The enrollment as of September, 1962 was as follows :


Grade I


60


Grade II 63


Grade III 54


Grade IV 52


Grade V 47


Grade VI


54


Grade VII 60


Grade VIII 51


Special

TOTAL


447


This total enrollment of 447 pupils compares quite closely to the enrollment of 445 pupils reported at this time last year. It should be pointed out, however, that the school plant at Rutland continues to be over-crowded with one class continuing to be held in the auditorium. This not only is a sub-standard classroom but its loss as an auditorium and gymnasium during the school day seriously impairs many valuable programs such as assemblies, physical education, and basketball.


This over-crowding is also evident on the school play- ground and in the school cafeteria where three shifts are neces- sary in order to prevent congestion. Also, a classroom is used to accomodate the overflow of youngsters participating in the school lunch program. Approximately 80% of the pupils in the Rutland Center School take advantage of cafeteria facilities.


Major Repairs Made During 1962:


Few major repairs were found to be necessary to either building during the 1962 calendar year. In the old building,


9


only those repairs were made which were essential because of the certainty of its replacement as a school plant in the very near future. One of these repairs consisted of work on the roof to stop leaks and to insure that slates, hoods, and covers remained securely attached to prevent their blowing off during wind storms .


In the new building, major repairs consisted of the paint- ing of two classrooms, the cafeteria, two toilets, a stairwell and a hallway. These areas are all located in the oldest sec- tion of the building.


Finally, minor repairs consisted of the following: 1. Water-proofing sections of the roof of the new building thus preventing leakage and damage to interior walls .


2. Installation of an exhaust fan in the kitchen.


New Equipment Purchased During the Year :


In the area of new equipment, the following items were purchased :


1. Black-out shades for the auditorium to facilitate the showing of films and the running of assemblies.


2. Ten new students desks and chairs.


3. Seven new 50-star flags to replace seven out-worn and out-dated 48-star flags .


4. Three new record players.


Under the National Defense Act, Title 3, the Rutland Center School purchased additional needed science equipment. This act has enabled the school to develop an excellent science program and, at the same time, be reimbursed 50% of its cost. The program also makes reimbursements for foreign language equip- ment and for audiovisual aids. Materials purchased include the following:


10


1. Filmstrips for both the science and foreign language programs .


2. A portable science laboratory, completely equipped .


3. Science library books .


4. Science reference books.


Curriculum Changes :


Changes in the curriculum were made during 1962. The French Program which was previously part of the curriculum of grades 4, 5, and 6 was introduced into the Junior High School in grade 7. Thus, all students in grade 4 were participating in the program, and those students who showed promise in regard to a foreign language were participating in grades 5, 6, and 7.


Modern mathematics was introduced into grades 7 and 8 on a full time basis for those students who showed an aptitude to- ward mathematics. This program differs in its approach from traditional mathematics by use of the discovery method of learn- ing.


Also in the Junior High School, an activity program was started. The purpose of the program was to have a period each week whereby students would be allowed to pursue and develop some interest. Clubs during the initial year consisted of the following: drama, social studies, model, newspaper, home- making and math-science.


Textbook Changes


To accompany these changes in the curriculum, certain textbooks changes were necessarily made. A new modern mathe- matics book was introduced for one-half of grades seven and eight. Textbooks were purchased for the French program which expanded into the seventh grade. Finally, a new language series was provided for grades 3 through 8.


Testing:


The Iowa Basic Skills Achievement Tests were administered to grades 3 through 8 during the spring of 1962. Grade equiva- lent scores were obtained for each pupil in each of five major skills areas - vocabulary, reading, language, work-study skills,


11


and arithmetic. Grade equivalents indicate the grade level in which the typical or median student falls. They are represented by two-digit numbers, the first of which represents the school year and the second the school month of achievement. The follow- ing are the results obtained:

Also, Lorge-Thorndike Intelligence Tests were administered to grades 1, 3, 5 and 7 in November.


Honor Society:


The Rutland Junior High School Honor Society was insti- tuted during 1962. Only those students who excelled in three important areas - achievement, effort, citizenship - were eli- gible to become members of the society.


The cooperation of the citizens of Rutland has been sin- cerely appreciated by myself and the entire school staff. It has had much to do with the success of this past school year .


Respectfully submitted Charles G. Varjian Principal


REPORT OF ART SUPERVISOR


I am very pleased to submit my first town report. I visit the third through eighth grades in Rutland.


The Art Program is twofold in nature. In addition to purely creative activities, I am introducing practical skills associated with Art. The children are given a basic knowledge of design and color, lettering, figure drawing and perspective drawing. The boys and girls enjoy both types of activities and are beginning to see the relationship between them. I constantly refer the children to nature, thereby instilling


12


an appreciation and knowledge of the world around them.


The association I have made with the teachers, students, and administration has been most rewarding to me. The only difficulty I am encountering is lack of time and facilities. I feel the ultimate answer to this problem is to have an Art Supervisor and an Art room for each school. I realize this solution is not possible in the near future, but might be con- sidered as a long range program. In the immediate future, I feel it would be advisable to include the first and second grades in the Art program.


Respectfully submitted Mary Ann Griffin Art Supervisor


RUTLAND MUSIC REPORT


The vocal teacher met weekly with grades 2-6, every other week with grade 1, and pursued a program of rhythmic activities, listening and the building of an extensive song repertoire. Part-singing was encouraged in grades 5 and 6.


The 8th grade met every other week and the non-French students of 7th grade every week to study and appreciate some of the best music from many countries. Some singing in the classes has been encouraged this year but has been somewhat limited due to the lack of song textbooks on the 8th grade level. The old texts have been well-used and can no longer serve as basis for the vocal program.


Scheduling has been more difficult this year as 17 classes plus Glee Club must be covered in a day and a half by the vocal teacher.


A piano to benefit 6 classes is still badly needed on the first floor of the old building.


An elective Glee Club performed at the Graduation Exercises and the Christmas program.


A large group of students from Grades 4 through 8 attended the Children's Concert in the Worc. Auditorium this year in Oct. Respectfully submitted Linda Campbell

REPORT OF THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR


All pupils in the 4th grade have once again been given a full year's instruction in music theory. This course has a two-fold purpose. Primarily, it introduces the child to the basic terms and expressions found in music and attempts to teach fundamental facts concerning time signatures, key signa- tures, scales, musical notation and rhythmic patterns. It is hoped that the knowledge acquired in this course will serve as a basis for the music reading program in the upper grades. The second purpose of the course is to acquaint the child with a beginners instrument, the tonette, and to formulate good study and practice habits. In many cases, the degree of the child's success in dealing with the tonette will aid in determining potential achievement on a band or orchestral instrument.


Instrumental instruction is offered to any child who is academically qualified and who has reached the fourth grade level. Four instrumental classes are held weekly serving beginning, in- termediate and advanced students. The advanced pupils attend re- hearsals of the Holden Junior High School Band on a 2 weekly basis. It is to be hoped that, as a student progresses, he may be guided toward private instructions and will utilize their talents in high school musical organizations.


I would like to thank Mr. Bogosian, Mr. Varjian and the entire faculty and staff of the Rutland Center School for their encouragement and support of this program.


Respectfully submitted Richard H. Bowden Supervisor of Instrumental Music

FRENCH PROGRAM


The teaching of French language is starting its fourth year in the Grammar School and its first year in the Junior High.


It is Mrs. Micheline Vray's first year teaching French in the two 4th grades and the second year for Mrs. Marie-Rose Hamel who has the 5th, 6th and 7th grades.


The number of pupils in each class are: 4th grade (2) . . . . 00 0 .53 5th grade. . . O


28 6th grade . . . . . @ 0 . 29 7th grade o o o o 0 .32


The beginners, 4th and 5th grades, are getting acquainted with the different sounds, pronunciation and the different way a sentence is constructed compared to English.


We use flash cards, games, pictures, posters and objects found in the classroom. The students start to use verbs in very easy sentences with vocabulary picked up in subjects familiar to them. Rewards like a little french picture or a french stamp even a ribbon with a star are good stimulants when a subject becomes boring and gives a little more activity to the class.


A simple introduction of french spelling written on the blackboard is the next move before reading.


In the 6th grade, in addition to the preceding program, the students start to read, write and complete easy sentences.


French was introduced in the 7th grade for the first time this year. They are in contact with the grammar and have to study more seriously.


We are planning the projection of filmstrips taken in France in the coming weeks.


15


The 4th, 5th and 6th grades are preparing a program for the P.T.A. meeting in March.


The rewards for the six best students of each class at the end of the year made an impression and will be worthwhile.


Mrs. Marie-Rose Hamel Mrs. Micheline Vray


SCHOOL HEALTH REPORT


The following is the 1962 Annual Report of School Health Services as school nurse of Rutland Center School:


Routine physical examinations for children in grades one, four and seven were given by Dr. Emil J. Koenig, School Physi- cian, until June, and by the newly appointed School Physician, Dr. Joseph Krivda, starting in October, assisted by the school nurse. Written notices were sent to all parents whose children were found to have any physical defects.


Vision, hearing, weighing and measuring examinations were given to all pupils by the school nurse, assisted by two tech- nicians. Re-checks have been completed and notices have been sent home to the parents of children who failed the test.
