CURRICULUM
Preliminary planning is now being undertaken by the administration to investigate and study the curriculum needs of the several grades and departments. This is a project in which the schools must constantly be engaged if they are to evaluate the present content of the courses of study, to revise the subject matter material, to under- stand and employ some of the newer teaching methods and to properly use an increasing variety of modern edu- cational aid3.

REPORT OF THE SCITUATE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
STAFF MORALE
The attitude and morale of the school staff will re- main high as long as there is a feeling that the treatment they receive from their superiors and the public is fair and reasonable. The teachers of Scituate appreciate the interest of the School Committee and the taxpayers to adjust their salaries in relation to the salaries in other communities and to provide them with the necessary teaching materials.
SERVICES
In addition to the regular classroom teaching there are other services which the schools are offering to the citizens of Scituate.

REPORT OF THE SCITUATE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
CLASS ODE Music and Lyrics By Sharon Bragg Arrangement By Carol Claybourne
Our footsteps that once walked along corridors Will echo behind as we open new doors. To Scituate High we will bid fond adieu,
But we won't leave behind our mem'ry of you. Refrain:
Graduation ding, ring out the chimes, is now drawing nigh so goodby dear old times.
Though mem'ries might fade, they will never be gone; When friends part the way their smiles linger on. In our hearts blue and white will immortal be; And may God bless us all through life's next journey. Refrain :
