This year is the 50th Anniversary of Vocational Education in Massa- chusetts. The Massachusetts Vocational Association was host to all vo- cational teachers and supervisors in the New England States at the Smith Vocational School in Northampton. Weymouth was invited to exhibit projects made in the various shops and we received many favorable com- ments on the quality of the work.
In the Auto Repair Department, there were 474 jobs completed with a market value of $8,320.10. This course covers training in all areas of automobile repair. The State Department of Vocational Education allo- cated sufficient money (735.00) from the George-Barden Fund to buy a new brake drum refinishing machine with attachments. The boys in the Carpentry Department have installed a new desk area platform and rail to assist the teachers in supervising the shop. They also built storage cabinets on two sides of this area for tools and equipment. Work has started on remodelling the tool room to provide better tool checking. Lewis Bacon and Frank Meda are the instructors in this department.
In the Cabinetmaking Department, there were 214 jobs completed with
295
a market value of $9,433.28. The training in this department covers all types of work. William Dwyer is the instructor.
The Carpentry Department completed 269 jobs with a market value of $18,755.49. These jobs included many maintenance jobs for the school department, as well as work ordered by outsiders. The boys under the supervision of Philip Henley did all shop work plus completing the Dog Pound on Winter Street, and helped in the remodelling of the new Admin- istration Building. The boys under the supervision of Fred Carlson com- pleted the home for Mr. McIntosh on Grove Street. This is a five-room house and garage of colonial style. This house was ready for occupancy in June. This September the boys finished off a playroom in the basement using knotty pine. The boys also started a seven-room house for Joseph Hegarty on Prospect Court. This house is colonial style and will be com- pleted for occupancy in June, 1957.
The Printing Department has completed 295 jobs with a market value of $24,742.68. John Collins and Herman Perry are the instructors in this department and are responsible for the department being rated as one of the best in the country.
The Sheet Metal Department completed 244 jobs with a market value of 9,201.87. These jobs included: completing the warm air heating system in Mr. McIntosh's home; installing wall stacks and fabricating the duct work for Mr. Hegarty's house; fabricating new duct work for ventilating four classrooms in the Silver Lake Regional High School; building all metal partitions for the cages at the Dog Pound; and many smaller jobs. In addition to these, there was a new sawdust disposal system built and partially installed for South Junior High School. Harold Clarke is the instructor in this department.
There were 77 enrolled in Driver-Education classes, 75 completed the course and 50 received their licenses. Mr. Mahn is in charge of training in this course and, also, is in charge of placement and guidance, and teaches some classes in civics, problems of democracy, and science.
The related work in Printing is taught by George Nott; in Sheet Metal, by James Boland; in Auto Repair, by George Najarian; and in Cabinet- making and Carpentry, by Jalmar Nelson.
The related drawing in Cabinetmaking, Carpentry and Auto Repair is taught by George Klay, who also does a great deal of drawing for other school projects.
The academic work is taught very efficiently by Eric Roy and Joseph Whittemore.
Of this year's sophomores, 78 had completed the ninth grade, four were members of or had completed the tenth grade, and two were repeat- ers from last year.
There were 45 non-residents admitted. This is 20 less than last year. Income from tuition for the school year ending in June, 1956, was $14,565.20. This money came from 23 towns around the South Shore.
