I assist the School Nurse, Mrs.
Prendergast, in weighing and measuring the children in the ele- mentary schools 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 willingly of- fered, the interest of the School Committee and the encouragement. 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, Supt. of Schools, Saugus, Mass.
Dear Sir :- I herewith submit my" annual report of the Opportunity Classes in Saugus.
When the first Opportunity Class. was organized in Saugus about ten years ago it enrolled approximate- ly twelve pupils. Now there are- two classes and last September they were filled to capacity with a. total enrollment of thirty six. pupils.
The registration in a class at any one time is necessarily limited to . eighteen because of the individual attention required. Then, too, the- very nature of the work is exact- ing and demands more patience,. sympathy and understanding than is required in dealing with the children in the regular classes. Every failure must be minimized and every success emphasized in order to fill their hearts and minds with hope and courage.
The handwork period provides- opportunity for them to show tangi- ble evidence of their abilities. An exhibition of their work is usually held in the Sweetser School hall in June. Last year, however, their work, which included end tables, footstools, book racks, . hooked' rugs and many other lovely and useful things, was on exhibition at the annual conference of special class teachers at the Massachusetts School of Art in Boston.
Mr. Philip G. Cashman, State-

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE

Saugus, Mass. Dec. 27, 1938.
Mr. Vernon W. Evans, Supt. of Schools, Saugus, Mass.
Dear Sir :- I herewith submit my annual report as School Nurse for the year 1938.
The health of the children has shown much improvement. This in a great measure is due to the co- operation of the parents who now realize that the School Nurse is a friend and counselor rather than a law officer. When all parents as- sume this same attitude our am- bition to have our school children as healthy as possible will be real- ized.
A detailed report is impossible but I list below some of the duties performed that were necessary to carry out the program outlined by you.
Dental clinic is conducted on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at the Cliftondale School. A detailed summary will be found in the re- port of Dr. Roger P. Beckman.
All children were examined by the School Physicians as usual and all defects found will be followed up during the school year. There tvas no Chawdick Clinic this fall but all children will be received at the State Clinic in the spring for X-ray.
The State T. B. Clinic was held in Mav. This year only the stu- dents in the eleventh grade of the Senior High School, together with the teachers, were eligible to be tested. The teachers responded splendidlv to the onno tunity. Of the eleventh grade students 58.9 ner cent. were tested. Of these 39 per cent reacted with fortv-four requiring X-ray pictures. No stu. dent examined was found to be suf- fering from tuberculosis.
Children in fradina I to VIT www weighed and measured in the spring and fall. Miss Catherine Griffin was most kind in offering

[Dec. 31
her assistance in this work.
I made 384 home visits, 5 visits to the hospital at Middleton, 9 visits to other clinics, 807 visits to schools, also holding 23 conferen. ces with parents in the schools.
During my illness Mrs. Hazel Gallant, who substituted for me, performed the duties most efficient- ly and to her I publicly extend my appreciation.
Whatever success has resulted from my own effort has been due to the close co-operation and as- sistance that I have received from all. Especially is this true of the school officials, the school physi- cians, teachers, and parents. To all of them I am deeply grateful.
Respectfully submitted:
Anne Cheney Prendergast, School Nurse.
