Our School Organization


A most important innovation this fall was the setting up of a plan of Floormasters. The princi- pal selected the following men to act in this capacity: Mr. McCul- lough-first floor, Mr. Davis - second floor, and Mr. Gifford- third floor. The floormasters, the sub-master and the principal handle all the disciplinary matters of the school.


The monthly faculty meetings have been scheduled as follows:


Oct. 2. What Shall the Social Studies Teach ?" -- Miss Motherwell.


Nov. 6th. "The Problems and Place of English in the Sec- ondary Schools"-Miss Sisco.


Dec. 4th. "Current Trends in the Teaching of the Sciences"- Mr. Chadsey.


Jan. 8th. "What Can We Do to Make a More Interesting and Effective Program of Stu- dies ?"-Miss Borys.


Feb. 5th. "What Shall We Do For Pupils in High School Who Are Unable to Read Intellit gently and to Interpret the Printed Page ?"-Miss Towle.


March 4th. "What May We Do to Eliminate Pupils' Cynical Attitude Toward the Methods Used in Administering the Affairs of Local, State, and National Government ?"-Mr. Hayes.


April 8th. "Current Trends in Vocational Education."- Mr. Haley.


May 6th. "What Can Be Done to Develop in Pupils the Con- viction that their Learning Materials Should be Pursued to the Extent of Mastery ?"- Miss Leyland.


Miss Willey continues to act as financial secretary in charge of the Student Activity accounts and also as treasurer of the cafeteria. This position is being filled most effi- ciently.


At the Commencement exercises- in June the following scholarships and loans were awarded to seniors with high scholastic standing: to Evelyn Mandeville, $100, the Ri- verside Club; to Ruth Irene Wads- worth, $100, the Women's Civic League; to Miss Dorothy Cashen, $100, the Saugus Teachers' Asso- ciation; to Cecilia Reiniger, $100, the Central Junior and Senior High School Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation.


The Harvard Club of Lynn book award made annually to the most outstanding junior boy was pre- sented to Loring Larson. Grace Fifield, also a junior, received the Washington and Franklin United States History Medal presented by the Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution for superior achievement in that subject. The Rensselaer Medal for excellence in science and mathema- tics was · presented to Sidney Woodsum.


Recommendations


I should like to make the fol- lowing suggestions:


1. Purchase of books for the library.


2. Replacement of half of the assembly hall seats with tablet arm chairs.


3. The installation of a small printing shop.


4. Reconstruction of the assem- bly hall stage to meet the state fire marshall's regulations so that scenery can be used for dramatic performances.


5. Provision for new washroom facilities in the high school.


6. Transportation of some of the seventh grade bus pupils dir- ectly to the Sweetser School to help relieve congestion in the Cen- tral Junior High School.


7. Placing of gates in the cor- ridors to shut off the assembly hall from the rest of the school.


8. Panel the lower part of the walls in the corridors.

9. Placing of bulletin boards in each class room.


10. Provision of electrical out- lets in each class room.


11. Provision of a late bus so that it will be possible to detain pupils from cutlying sections when such action seems advisable.


12. Hiring of an assistant sec- retary for the office.


In conclusion I wish to thank you, Mr. Evans, and the members of the School Committee, for your helpful advice and encouragement.

REPORT OF ART SUPERVISOR


Saugus, Massachusetts December 26, 1939.


Mr. Vernon W. Evans,


Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Massachusetts.


Dear Sir:


It is my pleasure to submit this yearly report of the Art Depart- ment of the public schools of Saugus.


Art has been a subject too often thought important only for those pupils endowed with certain art talents, but today, it is recognized as a means through which the in- dividual child may gain knowledge, understanding and experiences to help him better know and appre- ciate beauty in the world about 'him.


In olden days, there was no dis- tinction between artists, crafts- men and consumers. Artists were ·craftsmen belonging to certain guilds, and craftsmen were artists.


Michael Angelo was as much an architect as a painter; Leonardo da Vinci was as good an engineer as an artist.


Today there are two distinct classes: a small body of artists and designers who serve a large group of people whom we classify as consumers.


To enable this larger group to better appreciate and enjoy the aesthetic, is perhaps a greater function for any art department than to help train, director en- courage the smaller group which


will follow the Arts as a profes- sion.


It is with this objective in mind that monthly outlines are prepared and presented to each grade teacher for guidance in her Art teaching.


In the Junior High School, and the Senior High School classes, each pupil who elects Art is en- couraged to follow subject matter and creative work in which he is not only most interested, but which most suitably fits his indi- vidual needs.


"Aesthetic enjoyment is a quali- ty which to the individual is in- terpreted as that individual has capabilities to interpret."


Exposure to, and knowledge of art qualities enrich and help the pupil to better adjust himself to his environment and his daily con- tact with people in that environ- ment.


Art accomplishments of the pu- pils have been shown to various Parent-Teacher Associations and civic organizations throughout the year.


Poster contests and exhibitions of pupils' work have been con- ducted in each building of the town.


The closing of the Mansfield School has allowed more time for grade classes. This closing, how- ever of a four room building has been balanced by the opening of one more room at the Old Roby School and a second grade room at the Armitage school.


This fall, a course in Design was offered and given to all grade teachers who desired further help in that subject. There was an average weekly attendance of thirty-eight teachers at each meet- ing.


I wish to publicly recognize and give a word of commendation to the work being done in the Op- portunity classes by Miss Mary Mullins and Miss Ruth Douglas.


My appreciation is extended to each principal and teacher in the grades, to Mr. Pearce and Mr. Young in the High School, to you my superintendent, Mr. Evans, and to my School Committee for con- tinued interest which contributes

to the furthering of work in the Art Department of our town.


Yours respectfully,


ANSTRICE CARTER KELLOGG.


MUSIC SUPERVISOR


Mr. Vernon W. Evans,


Supt. of Schools,


Saugus, Mass.


Dear Sir:


It is a pleasure to offer my an- nual report as Supervisor of Mu- sic in the public schools of Sau- gus.


My visits to each grade class are made monthly. The grade teacher follows a monthly outline for the remainder of the month.


Junior High School classes re- ceive weekly instruction. The Glee Club at the Senior High School meets each week. The pro- duction presented this past year was very successful. This group assisted at graduation and made a public appearance at a local women's club.


Music texts in the elementary system have been furnished for which teachers, and supervisor are very grateful.


To each principal and teacher who has carried out the monthly course of study with whole-heart- ed cooperation, and to various de- partments in both Junior High


Schools, and the Senior High School I extend my appreciation.


The interest of the School Com- mittee, and your encouragement and understanding Mr. Evans, is cordially appreciated.


Respectfully submitted,


C. ELIZABETH GOSS, Supervisor of Music.


SCHOOL NURSE


Mr. Vernon Evans,


Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Massachusetts.


Dear Sir:


I herewith submit my report for the year 1939.


An itemized report is not prac- ticable but in order to acquaint you with the work accomplished I will quote briefly some of our


activities performed during the past year.


The general health of the chil- dren has shown gradual improve- ment and with the cooperation ex- tended by parents and teachers we are slowly attaining our ambi- tions.


Twenty-four (24) children have had their tonsils removed at the Lynn Hospital. This was made possible by the Oliver Trust Fund to be used in East Saugus.


Fast strides were made toward our goal of 100% at the Tubercu- losis Clinics with a gain of 15%. It was 58% in 1938 and 73.3 in 1939.


Moving pictures were shown of teeth, eyes, and tuberculosis. Visual Education is fast develop- ing in health and I hope that our schools will be one of the first to have their own health films.


The routine work has been car- ried on as usual with:


Dental Clinic every Tuesday and Thursday.


Examination of all grades with Dr. Clark, Dr. Furbush, Dr. Ward and Dr. Penny. All defects are followed up during the school year.


Pre-School Clinics were held during May. 89 Children attend- ed.


Children in the first eight grades were weighed and meas- ured during the months of Octo- ber and May.


1024 school visits were made, this includes general examinations, health talks, pictures and all con- tagious diseases.


603 home visits were made but a policy has been adopted of in- viting the parents to the schools for conferences thereby creating better interest and understanding.


In conjunction with our work it is necessary to take trips out of town to various clinics which con- sumes considerable time, but, how- ever, with the cooperation of Miss. Priest who has proved most effi- cient, I have been able to make twenty-eight (28) trips. The clinics. are in Lynn, Middleton, Beverly, Boston and Salem.


I wish to offer my gratitude to Dr. Flockton Graham for her kind-


16

ness in giving her time and ser- vice free (gratis) of eye examina- tion to several worthy children.


I wish to extend my thanks to all who have made all this possi- ble.


Most sincerely,


Anne Cheney Prendergast, R.N. School Nurse.


REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION


Mr. Vernon W. Evans, Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Massachusetts. Dear Sir:


I herewith submit the annual report of Physical Education in the Elementary Schools of Sau- gus.


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 the month at which time the work is present- ed by me.


The following is a resume of the work carried on in the schools.


In the lower grades the work is presented and carried on in a spirit of play and make believe, enlisting their imagination and natural desire to express their ideas in terms of representation movements. These consist of rhythm training, story, plays,


marching, folk dancing and games. Folk dancing cultivate the sense of rhythm and joy of move- ment, and is a means toward help- ing a self-conscious or awkward pupil to develop natural grace. The jolly music, the many nursery and Mother Goose rhymes set to traditional music never fail to make the child at home in its new and often times strange surround- ings.


In the upper grades the gym- nastic work is carried on more ex- tensively and more formal. This group consists of marching tac- tics or all exercises which involve quick and unexpected changes of position, direction or momentum. Exercises free standing consisting of leg and arm movements, upper and lower back stretching; trunk exercises; balance; abdominal, back and shoulder blade; jumping


and breathing; drill with hand ap- paratus and games.


Our program of Physical Educa- tion aims at the following specific objectives: better posture, the improvement of physical efficien- cy, less mental strain and better mental health, the development of control and body movements, alert- ness and quick response, courage, self-control, self sacrifice, courte- sy, kindness, loyalty, obedience, cooperation and initiative. It aims to create in youth an intelligent and healthful interest in physi- cal activity and gives to him a fund of activity material for use in leisure time.


Movies have been taken of the children in the North Saugus, Ballard, Felton, Armitage and Roby Schools. They have had the keen enjoyment of seeing them- selves perform their activities. I hope to have more schools added to this list next spring.


For the assistance which the principals and grade teachers have so willingly offered, 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.


December 30, 1939.


Mr. Vernon W. Evans,


Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Massachusetts.


Dear Mr. Evans:


I herewith submit the 1933 re- port of the Opportunity Classes.


About thirty-six children were registered in the two classes at the beginning of last year.


Some of those who left the class have obtained good positions. Others are furthering their educa- tion.


One boy with unusual mechani- cal ability has entered the Somer- ville Trade School. Another, al- though only fourteen years of age, is enrolled at the Essex Agri- cultural School. If he continues to do as well as he did with special help and attention, I know he will succeed.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


1939]


Two brothers, leaving school within about a year of one an- other, have been working steadily with an older brother who has a trucking business. Another bro- ther has plenty of work waiting for him with the same firm when he leaves this year. It would be hard to find three more depend- able and industrious workers than these boys have proved themselves to be.


Of three other boys I wish to mention:


(a) One has had steady employ- ment with a town contractor for nearly two years.


(b) The second makes a very good week's pay at the Boston Fish Pier, and;


(c) The third boy is assistant night watchman for a Boston Rail- road Company. He works with his uncle, who has been regular night watchman there for a number of years.


These children like to do prac- tical things and have a great deal of initiative, resourcefulness, en- thusiasm and eagerness to do things.


This was very clearly demon- strated last June, when Mrs. Kel- logg, the art supervisor, came into my classroom and said that she needed ten window boxes to decor- ate the High School stage for


Junior High graduation exercises.


The Junior High classes could do nothing to help for various rea- sons such as:


1. Window boxes in use at home.


2. No wood available.


3. Unable to make one. She wondered if I might have any suggestions, and talked over the possible effects she might get with cardboard, but discarded both the idea and material as too un- stable.


It was Wednesday, and the win- dow boxes were needed for the


My class overheard the conver- following Tuesday night.


sation, and, although we had no wood, the boxes were as good as made.


The minute the door closed be- hind Mrs. Kellogg, each and every one informed me, eagerly, that he knew where he could get some old lumber. Some knew how to make the boxes.


The wood started arriving the following morning. Mrs. Kellogg supplied green paint, and by the following Tuesday, ten very good looking green window boxes had been made and delivered to the High School, by the boys in the Opportunity Class.


Respectfully submitted, MARY P. MULLINS.
