ORIGINAL UNITS AND RELATED CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES


Some outstanding units on science and history have been observed in grades VII and VIII. Indications of the grasp of these subjects which the children have as a result of these projects were noted in the essays written as part of the town-wide testing program. These essays written in class under supervision were mature, well-organized, and gave every indication of excellent cooperation among the science, English, and his- tory departments.


EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES


The interest which the Parent-Teacher Associations have shown this year in becoming better acquainted with their schools and the services of- fered has grown noticeably. On an average of once a month, there has been a request for the panel made up of directors and supervisors. On these programs an effort is made to present to the parents all information regarding special services of the schools, explanations of testing results, and presentation of types of work done by children from the various grade levels. We consider it a privilege to cooperate with the Parent-Teacher Associations in this manner.


RECOMMENDATIONS


The testing data records indicate that the I. Q. range in the junior high schools extends from 70 to 150 and above. This represents graphically the need for remedial work for the slow as well as an enriched program for the gifted.


HIGH SCHOOL Report of Wallace L. Whittle, Principal


With the high school enrollment at 1,496 on October 1, 1957, it has become a considerable problem to find rooms into which we can put the various classes. Classes are large, and those needing special rooms and equipment, such as office practice and typewriting, create a most difficult situation. We cannot put more machines in the rooms, as they are now overcrowded, and yet, we shall have many more pupils desiring to take such subjects next year. Obviously, we shall have to curtail the course as now offered or deny some pupils the opportunity to take such courses.


343


At the present time, seventy-five percent of our classes have more than twenty-five pupils, thirty-eight percent have more than thirty pupils, and approximately fourteen percent have thirty-five or more pupils. With next year's increased enrollment, there will necessarily be more of the larger classes to be scheduled in rooms not equipped to care for such num- bers. It will be necessary, therefore, to add more seats in some rooms in order to furnish a greater seating capacity. Such a move will create double rows of seats and further add to the difficulties of the teaching situation.


Many of the teachers have held meetings where the needs of the con- templated new high school have been considered. It is planned to have all teachers working on this problem in the immediate future so that plans may be made to build in such a manner that future curricula, whatever they may be, will not be handicapped.


It seems to be quite evident that schools are going to be asked to expand their science and mathematics programs in order to meet inter- national competition. If such is the case, we should be extremely careful to plan well ahead to the future in the establishment of these departments. Construction and furnishing of a well-equipped science department is rather expensive but necessary if we are to keep pace in this field. It is imperative that we decide to what extent we should enlarge these facilities to plan for the future as well as for the present.


If we are to do more for our exceptional or gifted students, we must plan in advance and build to take care of the program adopted. We are experimenting this year along this line, hoping that we may gain some experience in setting up this type of program.


With the exception of the crowded classrooms and lack of space, our regular and extra-curricular programs have operated normally. Due to the weather and the "Asian Flu," our football receipts are approximately $9,000.00 less than last year. This unforeseen situation will necessitate the appropriation of a larger amount of money by the town if we are to con- tinue at our present level in athletics.

WEYMOUTH VOCATIONAL SCHOOL Report of Ray G. Parker, Director


The primary object of Vocational Education is to prepare persons for effective entrance into employment and to up-grade those already em- ployed. It is interested primarily in training for skill and is organized around unit trades. The courses are terminal in the sense that they lead directly to employment on a level of an advanced apprentice and our grad- uates are given full credit for all shop time. In order to qualify for ad- mission, the applicant must be at least fourteen years of age, have suc- cessfully completed the ninth grade, be able to profit from the instruction, and be in good physical health. To be eligible for a diploma he must complete at least ninety per cent of the shop time and pass his related and academic subjects.


The State and Federal Governments pay one half of the net operating cost (including instruction) of a vocational school, which means that the pupil cost of this type of education is less to the town than the regular type of education offered in the secondary schools.


Vocational Education in the Commonwealth was started over fifty


345


years ago and Weymouth Vocational School was established in 1924. This school was built to provide space for three departments - as the demand for vocational training grew, two more departments were added. At the present time, the pupils are housed in the original building, an Auto Re- pair Garage, a Carpentry Shop, and four rooms of the High School.


The present capacity of the school is two hundred and sixty pupils. For the past five years, there has been an average of about twelve and one-half per cent of the secondary school pupils who have elected Vocational Education. If this percentage holds true in the future, there will be three hundred and fifty to four hundred boys who will request trade training by 1963. As the enrollment increases, there should be two or three new courses added to the program, which will be selected after results of the survey which is being conducted by the Quincy Chamber of Commerce, the Vocational Schools in Weymouth and Quincy, and several other in .. terested agencies is completed.


There are many boys who really enjoy working with their hands and want to become expert craftsmen in the trade of their choice. If a boy is to be one of the best, he must have intelligence and an aptitude which will allow him to succeed. One of the greatest rewards is for a man to be able to view his work with pride and experience, together with the satisfaction of being a good citizen.


There are some who do not realize the type of training offered in the Weymouth Vocational School, and it is the earnest desire of the Di- rector and teachers that more citizens of the town visit the shops and classrooms. The teachers not only teach the fundamentals of the trade, they make a sincere effort to build character and train all boys to become better citizens. The American people place great faith in education, and there are indications in all quarters that the leaders of industry expect and will demand in the future a greater amount of vocational training for the youth of high school age.


The Student Government Committee, which has a great deal of in- fluence in our school, still functions successfully. Thomas Keefe, the Presi- dent of the Senior Class, is the chairman. The Merit Award System, which was started in 1954, still serves a good purpose. This project, which is sponsored by the Vocational Teachers' Club, rewards the best boys in each department each term with a lapel button and certificate. The boys are judged on their attitude, achievement, and school citizenship.


Our school received recognition for the third consecutive year for projects entered in the Ford Motor Company Industrial Arts Award Con- test. There were about 40,000 projects entered from all over the United States and parts of Canada. From this group there were 4,500 selected for the final judging. Earl Chiulli received a certificate, gold pin allo cheque for his crotch-veneered mahogany lady's desk. This award was made for construction, design, and ingenuity. Paul Voegtlin received similar honors for his modern white mahogany kidney-shaped desk.


In the Auto Repair Department there were 497 jobs completed, with a market value of $6,938.68. This department covers training in all areas of the trade. Frank Meda and Henry Marshman are the instructors in this shop.


In the Cabinetmaking Department there were 183 jobs completed, with a market value of $10,137.97. The training in this department covers all phases of the trade plus valuable instruction in finishing. William Dwyer is the instructor in this shop.


346


In the Carpentry Department there were 251 jobs completed, with a market value of $23,144.43. The outside buildings which were approved for construction were as follows: A play room in the basement of the house which we built for Edward McIntosh in 1955-56; a seven-room house which was built for Joseph Hegarty; a garage and breezeway was started for Mrs. Katharine Howley; a new House of Cape Cod style is being built for Paul Garrity at 282 Middle Street. This house will have six rooms, breezeway, and garage and will be completed for occupancy in June, 1958. Also, an addition to the refreshment stand at Legion Field was built. The work in the department covers all types of carpentry work. There are many maintenance jobs done for the school and other town depart- ments. The boys in shop make items such as kitchen cabinets, corner cabinets, picnic tables and benches, and many other pieces of furniture. The instructors are Philip Henley in charge of the shop and Fred Carlson in charge of the outside building projects.


The Sheet Metal Department completed 220 jobs with a market value of $10,573.11. These included completing the installation of the forced warm air heating system in the Hegarty house; fabricating the duct work and installing the wall stacks in the Garrity house. There are a great variety of sheet metal jobs done in the department plus many in the field of ornamental iron work. Harold Clarke is the instructor in this depart- ment.


The Printing Department has completed 320 jobs, with a market value of $22,152.23. This department continues to do all of the School Depart- ment printing including the high school "Reflector" and senior class year book. During the year the advisory committee has been doing some very excellent work in preparing plans for adding off-set printing to the de- partment when we go into the new school. This training is very im- portant if we are to continue to have one of the best departments in the country. John Collins and Herman Perry are the instructors in this shop.


There were 90 enrolled in the driver-education classes and 52 of these received their licenses. Otto Mahn is in charge of this training as well as placement and guidance. He also teaches about 20 periods per week in science, civics, and problems of democracy.


The related work is taught by the following men: Auto Repair, George Najarian; Cabinetmaking and Carpentry, Jalmar Nelson; Printing, George Nott; Sheet Metal, James Boland; Related Drawing, George Klay. The academic work is taught by Joseph Whittemore and Eric Roy.


Lewis Bacon, who had been an instructor in our school since 1927, retired in June, and Henry Marshman is taking his place as shop in- structor.


Of this year's sophomores, 92 had completed the ninth grade, three were members of or completed the tenth grade, and five were repeaters from last year.


There were 49 non-residents admitted. This is four more than last year. Income from tuition for the school year ending in June, 1957, was $12,811.08. This money came from 18 towns around the South Shore.
