REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The report of the Weymouth School Committee for the year 1959, as in the past few years, indicates a progressive growth with respect to total school enrollment, teachers, salaries, and school construction.
Perhaps the greatest problem, from the standpoint of maintaining a high educational standard, has been that of coping with the double session program in Weymouth High School. The acute shortage of classroom space, caused by the vast influx of ninth graders graduating from the three junior high schools, made it necessary for the first time in the his- tory of the Weymouth High School to institute double sessions.
Double sessions tend to create considerable confusion and dissatisfac- tion both in the school and in the students' homes. In many cases normal family routine and planning has been upset. Parents with several children in school find it difficult at times to properly supervise their children, be- cause of the unorthodox time schedule. This year it has been necessary for the juniors and seniors to attend high school from 7:30 a.m. to 12:35 p.m., and sophomores from 12:45 to 5:00 p.m. In addition, many diffi- culties have arisen in trying to arrange for participation of students in extracurricular activities and athletics.
Double sessions are, further, very expensive for the Town-both from the standpoint of having to provide for additional transportation facilities and the need for hiring more teachers. Double sessions can be discon- tinued only by the prompt construction of the new 2000-pupil senior high school.
Our school population during the past five years has risen from 8,340 in 1954 to 10,638 in 1959-an increase of approximately twenty-eight (28) per cent. Our instructional staff of directors, supervisors, and classroom teachers stands currently at 463-the highest ever engaged, and 135 more than in 1954.
During the year, Weymouth added two new elementary schools to its plant of fine school buildings. In May the William Seach School, named
327
in honor of Lieutenant William Seach, U. S. Navy (Retired), a long-time citizen of Weymouth and recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor for heroic service beyond the call of duty in the Boxer Rebellion, was dedicated. Lieutenant Seach was the honored guest of the Town at the dedication exercises and in addition delivered an inspiring address. This new school was occupied by pupils on February 2nd, 1959. Later, in De- cember, the second elementary school, named in memory of John F. McCulloch, a World War II veteran who gave his life for his country, was completed and occupied. The addition of these two new schools raised the total number of elementary school buildings to sixteen.
Another new record in the history of the Weymouth High School resulted when the Chairman was privileged to present 449 diplomas to the 1959 Graduating Class.
Each year the School Committee reviews the teachers' salary schedule. This year after careful consideration and discussion with the teachers' salary committee, your School Committee unanimously voted to adopt a revised schedule effective September 1st, 1960, viz., setting a minimum of $4,200 and a maximum of $6,200 for a teacher with a bachelor's degree. The Committee faced up to this subject with dignity and intelligent fore- sight. Weymouth certainly, at present, is not a "leader" in paying high salaries to teachers, but has only kept abreast of the scale offered in neighboring towns and cities.
The year 1960 will show a continued growth in school enrollment. Double sessions will still be with us in the high school. It is, therefore, imperative that the Special Town Meeting to be called in April, 1960 for the express purpose of considering the recommendations of the special High School Building Committee votes favorably to appropriate the neces- sary funds to authorize the proper parties to commence construction operations of the new 2000-pupil high school early in May.
The Vocational School should be included in any new high school plan, as it would not be desirable to segregate the two groups. This school has been connected with the high school since it was started in 1924. The boys receive a high school diploma, take part in all extracurricular activities where time permits, are members of the various athletic teams and each year some of the boys are key men on the teams. There are over 250 boys crowded into an area which should not have over 200. All surveys show that there will be at least 350 boys who will desire vocational training by the time the new high school is built. In addition to the five departments that are now in the school, there will be an electronics course and an auto body course included. The printing department will be in- creased to provide offset printing. These changes were selected as desir- able as the result of surveys made in the area to determine the man power needs of industry.
This report could not be concluded without extending a very sincere appreciation for the co-operation rendered the School Committee by the Superintendent, Mr. Elmer S. Mapes, and all other members of the staff of the Weymouth Public Schools. There has always been evidence of good team work in performing the operational functions of this very important Town department. A final reference should be made with respect to our school principals, supervisors, and teachers The majority definitely are of high quality, dedicated to their profession of educating our sons and
328
daughters on a high level. This is one of the reasons why the Weymouth School System is rated scholastically as one of the best in the Common- wealth.
