-O-
The double session works a hardship chiefly in the matter of in-school study time, making it necessary for almost all class prepara- tion to be done at home. Homemaking and shop are available dur- ing double sessions only to the 7th grade, while music and art are available to all except 8th grade Latin pupils. Physical Education is scheduled twice weekly for all.
Extra-curricular activities are kept at a minimum. We do have, however, a touch-football program, a fine glee club, participation in band and orchestra, and a baseball program, all of which are extra-curricular in time. The extra-help program has been getting increased participation.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
Miss Murphy and Dr. Finnegan are carrying on counseling for the 7th and 8th grades respectively under the direction of Mr. Tilden. Mrs. Russell is helping pupils with the more severe reading handicaps both in groups and individually.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NOTES
If the present transfer of new pupils to Central School con- tinues at the same rate as the first half of this school year, nearly one room of new pupils will have been gained by the close of school in June.
This year, as has been the practice in the past two years, pupils have been grouped on the basis of Reading ability. This has in- creased the efficiency at which teachers are able to work by decreas- ing the width of span in achievement rate found in children. This system is beginning to show its value. The reading level of children in the Scituate Public Schools has shown a rather rapid increase during the past three years. Achievement tests given in April of 1958 indicate that the Scituate Schools are getting results. Pupils in grades one through six tested from one-half to one whole grade above national norms. For further information, I would refer you to pages 20 and 21 of the Scituate Citizens Committee Report.
A testing program of achievement and mental maturity has been carried on to aid in our placement of pupils. Children in the second grades received the California Mental Maturity Test and fifth grade pupils the Otis Quick Scoring Test. In the spring, all pupils will receive the Stanford Achievement Test. A series of meetings with parents is under way in an effort to obtain their opinions and stabilize the marking system in the elementary schools.
Workshops for the elementary schools have been planned for the following areas: English, Science, Allotmental Schedules. Meet- ings have also been held in which Head of Departments, such as Science and English, have been invited to attend and bring to us their ideas. As another aid to our Science Program, we have the services of the Audubon Society. This year an intra-mural program was started by Mr. William Smith of the Physical Education Dept. Touch football is featured in the fall, cross country running at Thanksgiving, and softball in the spring.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
CLASS ODE Tune: "Bless This House"
When we've left dear Scituate High Memories will linger on.
Save we shall our last goodbye 'Til there's not another dawn.
Thanks we bid to this our school;
Never thee shall we forget. Onward, upward is the rule
That's been our motto since we've met.
Where, oh where would this class find
A dearer friend than you have been? As we leave, we shall glance behind A tear we'll shed for you again.
Fond we are of the white and the blue; We'll ne'er forget our happiness.
Now we bid our fond adieu,
Our last farewell to S.H.S.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
REPORT OF. THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Scituate:
1959, like any other year, started with its regular organiza- tional meetings, appointments and plans for the coming year.
However, your present Board of Selectmen was given the very honored and delightful responsibiilty of preparing the occupants of our 110-year-old Town Hall for the task of moving to our new and beautiful quarters on Chief Justice Cushing Way. This move has proven to be not only an incentive to Town Employees and Department Heads, but has also gained for the citizens of Scituate a town government under one roof, another approach to long range thinking and efficiency.
In April the Selectmen invited the Planning Board to one of its regular meetings for the purpose of considering further requests for Chapter 90 work. Proceedings to repair, rebuild and relocate Driftway Road and Kent Street as a project and to eliminate the over-burdened Stockbridge Road were initiated. It was felt that due to the conditions of Stockbridge Road such as width, number of existing trees, homes located too close to street line, that the latter project would be too costly.
