SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Scituate:
The Scituate School Committee submits its report for 1956 with sincere pleasure and genuine humility. Perhaps its most press- ing problem is the ever-increasing enrollment. To alleviate the situation the new sixteen-room Wampatuck Elementary School will be ready for occupancy in September 1957. Another policy voted by the School Committee which will help in meeting the rapid growth of our school population in an orderly manner was the adoption of the 6-3-3 plan (six years in elementary school, three years in junior high school and three years in high school). This will eventually replace our present 6-6 plan (six years in elementary school and six years in high school).
During the past year the cafeteria system was reorganized to afford an over-all continuity which would make for better service.
To keep pace with educational requirements, Scituate High School was evaluated by outside educators acting for the New Eng- land Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. An article in the Town Warrant focuses your attention upon a recommended study for the exploration of the possibilities for a regional voca- tional school.
In an effort to handle the task of school committeemen more efficiently and more intelligently, members of the Scituate School Committee met twice in conjunction with the Rockland School Committee to observe and share problems common to communities of comparable size. Educational journals were perused and studied; educational workshops, conferences and regional school board meet- ings were attended. Three members journeyed to Atlantic City where a national convention provided them with a better under- standing of present educational problems.
With a sincere wish for a long and happy life in retirement from the principalship of the Central Elementary School, the Com- mittee accepted with regret the resignation from LeRoy Fuller after his many years of outstanding service.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
The School Committee eyes the past year pleasantly and grate- fully. It has been its aim to provide the youngsters in Scituate with an education which will provide them well in meeting the respon- sibilities of healthy, happy and useful Americans. We believe this goal has been accomplished and each year we meet the challenge more easily and more confidently. None of our hopes could be realized without the keen interest of the Scituate Townspeople nor the devoted teachers in our schools.
Respectfully,
THE SCITUATE SCHOOL COMMITTEE George C. Young, Chairman Doris D. Ward, Secretary Fred T. Waterman Ellen M. Sides A. William Krause, Jr.
