The integration program also helps the pupils to develop socially since they associate with other pupils of their own age and interests. There have been instances of misunderstanding on the part of people as to the purpose and intent of this Opportunity

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
Class. This is most unfortunate and it is only through the educa- tion of the public that the purpose and value of the class can be realized. It seems that the time has come for the well-informed to recognize and more fully appreciate the efforts of the School Depart- ment in providing this "special help to those who need it."
Mrs. Rose M. Trefry is the teacher.
LEARNING TO DRIVE SAFELY
The Driver-Education Course is offered as an extra-curricular activity in the High School to students over sixteen years of age. The course includes both classroom work and behind-the-wheel in- struction. In order to meet the requirements of the Registry of Motor Vehicles, there must be at least twenty class sessions of one hour's duration and a minimum of six hours driving.
Students must satisfy two requirements in order to qualify for a certificate. First, they must successfully complete the classroom work and road test given by the school. Second, they must have obtained a license issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The certificates are issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles but are not valid until signed by the driving instructor.
This year dual-control cars were supplied by Baker Ford, and Watson Chevrolet. Last year Paul Young Motors supplied a Plymouth.
EATING FOR HEALTH
Each year the Federal government appropriates a certain amount of money for the use of the School Lunch Program. The state enters into an agreement with the government and the town in turn enters into an agreement with the state. The objectives of the Lunch Program are to protect the health of the nation's chil- dren, and to encourage increased consumption of foods in temporary abundance. Individual schools are eligible to receive assistance, provided their programs meet all eligibility requirements. The lunch must follow the given pattern and must provide one third to one half of the daily nutritional diet. The maximum rate of reim- bursement from the state for each meal served is nine cents. The government continues its price support program for farmers by purchasing commodities and makes them available to state agencies for distribution to these schools. For these commodities, we pay forty cents per case, to defray expenses of storage and delivery. The amount received is judged upon the amount of lunches served.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
The price charged per meal is determined by the cost of the food, plus the overhead and labor cost. In general, food is sold at cost plus a margin large enough to allow for unusual conditions such as operation loss, or the building of a reserve fund to draw against for replacement or purchase of needed equipment. Scituate is one of the few towns in the state which still retains only a twenty cent charge per lunch. This is to be increased to twenty-five cents in 1958-1959.
Since all cafeterias were consolidated last year, the new Wam- patuck school was added to the consolidation, saving a great amount of work on the part of Principals, Secretaries, Town Accountant and Treasurer. Making cake, cookies, biscuit mixes, mayonnaise, using government flour, shortening and oil meant a savings to purchase more fresh fruits and vegetables. Buying in quantity also meant more money to equip some of the schools with much needed dishes, silver, trays and time-saving equipment. Canned foods were purchased from the best concerns possible; milk put out on bid for quality as well as price; meats, government and board of health inspected; fruits and vegetables, the freshest for vitamin content. One Type A menu for all schools was introduced to eliminate com- parison of cafeterias, and to try to teach the students the importance of eating the right foods. Although this one Type A lunch met with a great deal of opposition, our participation for the year in- creased over 20% to 76.6% according to state reports, placing Scituate in one of the higher brackets in the state in 1956-57. Over 216,687 lunches were served totalling over 71,880 more than the previous year.
Our Lunch Program is planned not just to feed hungry stu- dents, but to be an educational force-to be part of the total school curriculum; to make itself felt in the lives of the children and the community just as are the classroom, library and the gymnasium. It is a laboratory for learning about food, for food is not only essential for the very existence of man, but is also essential for health, growth and vigor. It is a place that provides oppor- tunities for improving food habits by learning to choose the right kinds of food that go to make up a well-balanced meal, practicing habits of cleanliness and good table manners, how to live together, to talk pleasantly at meals and to enjoy a social time. The influence of the School Lunch may reach into the home with the result that there will be a better understanding of food habits in general be- tween parent and pupil after bringing out changes in family food patterns. All of this suggests that the school lunchroom is more than just a place to eat.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
MUSIC PROGRAM IS BUILDING
The following programs were presented in the elementary grades during the past year: Miss O'Hern's 4th grade and Mrs. Sargent's 5th grade of Central School presented an operetta in May. The 5th and 6th grade Boys Glee Club at Central School presented a program for the P.T.A. in May. All the schools presented Christ- mas programs with all grades participating.
The opening of the new Wampatuck School, along with the loss of one music teacher, made it necessary to omit the 5th grades from the Beginning Instrumental Program. Beginners in the 6th and 7th grades were accepted, and continuing students in all grades were taught on a rotating schedule.
Scituate was represented again this year in the All-State Band, Orchestra and Chorus, the All-New England Band, Orchestra and Chorus, and in the New England Solo and Ensemble Festival.
There is a volunteer girls' glee club of 55 voices and a select girls' choir which performed together with the orchestra for the Christmas assembly at the high school. Both vocal groups meet and rehearse during the lunch periods.
The choral groups and band participated in the Southeastern Massachusetts Music Festival in May.
ART INSTRUCTION
New art curriculum guides have been issued to all Elementary School teachers. These guides contain outlines of art education programs as well as informative material on teaching crafts, letter- ing, design, perspective and art appreciation.
Art workshops have been held in each school, where classroom teachers planned projects in art which many times helped in the teaching of reading, science, history and geography.
Both members of the art department have attended local and state meetings of art educators. Included in the programs were panel discussions and demonstrations of craft processes.
Movies, slides and filmstrips showing the making of puppets, masks, paper sculpture, space design and bulletin board planning, helped pupils produce the many exhibits seen by parents during the schools' open house evenings.
15
SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
Many prizes given by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were again won by Scituate boys and girls.
The High School art courses have had to be curtailed. The art teacher is required to teach other subjects, have study periods in the art room and travel to another school daily to teach junior high art. Oil painting and block printing have been added to the high school art courses this past year.
PHYSICAL FITNESS IS IMPORTANT
In the high school this year, Mrs. Mary Bauer, girls' physical education instructor, and Mr. Benson have been working primarily on the physical fitness of the students. By giving standardized tests to all students, they have been able to discover physical weaknesses. From these weaknesses they have planned a program attempting to build up the overall fitness and to help individually as many stu- dents as possible. They are working especially hard with the 8th grade students in hopes that a more physically fit student body will reach their junior and senior years in high school.
The physical education teacher in the elementary grades, Mrs. Anna Murphy, also is stressing physical fitness in her program along with the teaching of general skills. The new Wampatuck and Jenkins School facilities are excellent and enhance the program immensely.
The athletic program in the high school has expanded tre- mendously since last year. Last fall more than 200 students engaged in athletic activities.
We are still lacking play area for the fall and spring athletic program. We are unable to keep a suitable playing surface on our varsity athletic field as it is our one practice field. In the fall of the year the varsity field is used constantly by physical education classes when the weather permits plus being used after school daily by the field hockey and football teams. In the spring the baseball team, track team and physical education classes wear the grass off this field.
Scituate athletic teams have represented the school very suc- cessfully, especially our baseball team which won the State Class C championship. In track, Jared FitzGerald represented Scituate and the State of Massachusetts in the N. E. Track Championship at Burlington, Vermont, and won the mile event.
46
SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
Our girls' basketball team was co-champion of the South Shore League with Marshfield. Our girls' tennis team lost only one match. The Scituate boys' basketball team was selected to enter the Tech Tournament and lost the second game to the eventual winners in Class C. The won column heavily outweighed the lost column. The coaches are to be congratulated on their fine work, and the students complimented for their fine sportsmanship, spirit, ability, and manner in which they brought praise to Scituate High School.
The schools appreciate the cooperativeness of the park, high- way, and water departments of this town.
HEALTH: REMEDIAL AND PREVENTIVE
Miss O'Donnell, who was school nurse for the Hatherly and Central Schools last year, has served as nurse at both Central and Wampatuck Schools. She divides her time each day between the two schools. Her services are required for first aid, care of the sick children, and to complete a system of testing hearing and vision.
According to State Law, every child in the Commonwealth must be tested annually for loss of hearing or vision. They must also be weighed and measured regularly.
Also, according to regulations, each child who has been absent for three or more days must be checked by the family doctor, the school physician, or by the nurse before being readmitted to class.
In addition, each year, the children are given physical exami- nations by the school physician. The nurse must assist the doctor in these examinations.
Throughout the year, there are also clinics held by the nurse and physician at which time, the children are vaccinated or in- oculated.
It is obvious that as the school system grows and the number of pupils continues to increase more help will be needed if the schools are to receive the proper nursing services.
Last year, new health cards were adopted and all health records were transferred to these cards. When fully completed, much time will be saved in keeping health records.
The suggetsed "School Health Program" as prepared jointly by the Massachustets Department of Education and of Public Health was, as far as it was humanly possible, complied with during the 1957 school year.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
Early in the fall, an outbreak of Asiatic and other types of Influenza posed the only threat as a major health problem to the schools and community.
The pupils of grades 2, 5, 7, 9, and 11 have been given a com- prehensive physical examination; also the boys and girls planning to take part in competitive athletics, and the pupils who have recently moved into Scituate. The children expected to enter grade 1 or kindergarten, were examined in May before entry. If important defects were found the parents were advised to consult their own physician. Our duty is to discover such handicaps, rather than to treat them.
Newcomers to the School Staff were examined, and the schools have been inspected. I attended home football games to give first aid to injured players; and have often been consulted about injuries at school and pupils' illnesses.
I worked with the Board of Health at their polio clinics (3) at school, giving the children the Salk vaccine, and gave 45 school employees shots of Asiatic flu vaccine.

ADULTS, TOO, LEARN IN OUR SCHOOLS
Of the sixteen courses offered for 1957-1958 by the Evening School, only three failed to register a complete class. For several courses the demand was great enough to hold classes more than once each week.
Both woodworking classes met twice each week.
The ceramics course increased by one class over last year meet- ing three times each week.
Typing was offered this year and enough applicants registered to warrant two classes each week.
Cake decorating, a new course this year, also met twice each week.
Color and design, journalism, and children's clothing were new courses offered this year meeting once each week. All other courses were the same as last year meeting once each week.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
During the first semester which ran from October 14 to Decem- ber 20 there were nineteen class sessions meeting each week. Of these classes, only color and design and journalism fell below the minimum attendance requirements and had to be dropped.
During the second semester which will run from January 13 to April 4 there will be sixteen class sessions meeting each week since cake decorating has been reduced to one class each week.
The enthusiasm which has been shown for the Adult Education Program is gratifying. If this program is to serve you properly please let your wishes be known. You, the people of Scituate, deter- mine the curriculum and with you lies the success of this program.

Dear high school by the sea.
The Class of Fifty-seven now Bids last farewell to thee.
