Report of Music Supervisor
11 Pleasant Street, Saugus, Massachusetts.
Mr. Vernon W. Evans, Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Massachusetts.
DEAR MR. EVANS:
I am pleased to submit to you my first annual report as Supervisor of Music in the public schools of Saugus.
My teaching schedule is as follows: Two days each week are spent in the elementary grades. The fifty-six grade classes are visited once each month. Two days each week are spent with the twelve classes of the Central Junior High School. One day each week is with the five classes of the Sweetser Junior High School.
The work in the grades is carried out with the cooperation of the individual grade teacher. Outlines of the work to be
30
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
covered are given to each grade teacher every two months. The course in the grades now includes appreciation as well as tonal, rhythmic, and theoretical work.
The following specific objectives are set up for attainment in the first six years of school life:
1. Definite enjoyment in producing true beautiful tones.
2. Pleasure, dexterity, and grace in physical responses to musical rhythm.
3. Ability to discriminate tone qualities.
4. Ability to sing simple part songs.
5. Some realization of the structural design of music.
6. Ability to read the notation of music.
7. Elementary but perfectly definite knowledge of theory.
8. A gradually developing taste for better music.
9. Some ability in creative work.
10. A repertoire of some standard songs.
11. A recognition repertoire of standard vocal and instru- mental compositions.
12. A growing desire to participate in and to listen to high grade music.
Some of the grade schools are doing some fine work in de- veloping orchestras. It is my hope to develop more such groups.
The orchestra at the High School is comprised of members of both the Junior and Senior Schools. It meets but once a week. This group is called upon to furnish music for many school functions.
On assuming charge of the music department the latter part of October, I found a considerable amount of vocal and instrumental music which I am attempting to catalogue at present. Much of this, however, is of a type that should be replaced in order to fit the needs of the present day. Effort is being made at present to introduce a glee club in the Senior High School. There seems to be considerable enthusiasm among the students for this.
I extend sincere gratitude to you Mr. Evans, to each member of the School Committee, and to each principal and

Report of Supervisor of Physical Education
Mr. Vernon W. Evans, Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Massachusetts.
DEAR SIR :
I herewith submit my annual report as Supervisor of Phy- sical Education in the Saugus Elementary Schools.
A visit is made to each school every two weeks. Outlines of the work to be covered are given to all teachers the first of each month.
In the lower grades the exercises are informal in character, except in the third grade, when formal gymnastics are intro- duced. The story plays are simple and adapted to season and locality. Games and dances are also introduced.
In the upper elementary grades the principal work is formal gymnastics. Drills and games also form a part of the program.
Folk dancing cultivates the sense of rhythm and joy of movement, and is a means toward helping a self-conscious or awkward pupil to develop natural grace. Besides their rec- reative value, games should function in developing quick decision, self control, honesty, and a proper spirit in victory or defeat. The exercise periods are for the purpose of cor- recting faulty posture, of stimulating the important body function, and, not less important, of giving opportunity for flushing the class room with air from out of doors, so that teacher, pupils, and room will be in better condition for the further work of the day. ยท
PUPIL LEADERSHIP
The development of pupil leadership is one of the essential features of physical education. It is possible to give oppor- tunity for this from the first grade up. Small responsibilities are given at first; later to lead activities, keeping score, judge the winning of a race, and later on to actually referee team games.
POSTURE
There is an important relationship between good posture and physical fitness. A body held in good position permits
33
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE

normal respiration, circulation, digestion, and elimination. It is a well established fact that in the majority of cases a body erect with all segments in proper relation to each other, is not only indicative of an alert, responsive mind, but is in fact responsible for that alert, responsive mind.
A demonstration of the work accomplished in the schools was held at the Town Hall, May 7. 1936; thus affording the parents the opportunity to view the work of the children. From the proceeds, bean bag boards, bean bags, rope quoit sets, medium and large rubber balls, and cross bars for jump- ing standards were bought for each elementary school. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the teachers and parents for the splendid cooperation given me, to make this demonstration a success, and all the pupils for their loyalty and faithful work.
I assisst the school nurse in weighing and measuring the children in the grades at the end of each term. The children in the Junior High are weighed and measured twice a year.
For the assistance which the grade teachers have so willing- ly offered, the interest of the School Committee, and the en- couragement from you, Mr. Evans, I am most appreciative.
Respectfully submitted, CATHERINE R. GRIFFIN, Supervisor of Physical Education.
Report of Opportunity Class
Mr. Vernon W. Evans, Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Massachusetts.
MY DEAR MR. EVANS :-
I herewith submit the annual report of the Opportunity Classes in Saugus.
In September of this year the enrollment in each class was eighteen, the maximum registration for a class.
The first special class in Saugus was organized eight years ago. It was necessary the following year to form a second class. This year about twenty more children have been tested
34
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
and recommended for special help.
I think some parents feel that their children are discrimi- nated against and do not belong here. There is no personal element involved except the desire to give each child the best educational opportunities possible.
A grade teacher with forty or fifty pupils cannot give them the individual help and attention they require. The law there- fore provides that a child three or more years mentally re- tarded shall be placed in a special class in order that he may be given every opportunity to progress as rapidly as he is able.
Five boys who entered this class a year ago doing very poor first grade work have learned their tables and are now doing third grade arithmetic and second grade reading and spelling.
However, my class ranges in ages from ten to sixteen years, and through participation in word drills and games of the older class they have acquired about fifty words such as could, would, should, either, neither, though and although.
Miss Griffin, the physical education instructor gives them fifth grade exercises, and Mrs. Kellogg, art supervisor has a few at a time draw with classes in the Jr. High.
They have become familiar with three important events in American History through poetry, namely, - "Columbus" (1492) ; "The Landing of the Pilgrims" (1620) ; and Paul Revere.
They enjoy stories from Shakespeare (simplified edition) , Dickens' Christmas Carol and stories of other fine authors.
They are particularly fortunate in being in the Sweetser Jr. High School where they mingle with children of their own age and have the privilege of attending many splendid pro- grams and assemblies in the hall.
All these advantages would be lost if through deficiency in Reading and Arithmetic these pupils were kept in the first three grades.
The grade curriculums are essentially more or less restric- ted, while the special class curriculum is elastic in order that they may learn as much as possible before they leave at the age of sixteen.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE

I am sure that anyone who saw the exhibition of handwork, done by Miss Douglas' class and mine, in the Sweetser Hall last June will give these children credit for work of which they may be proud.
