EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES


In attempting to make this report brief enough so that it will be more widely read I shall limit myself to merely outlining our extra-curricular activities.


13


Soccer, basketball and baseball are coached by Mr. Verney who is also carrying the third highest teaching load in the school.


Tennis is being handled better by Mr. Crocker than at any time during the past four years.


Mr. Crocker is also coaching the orchestra. Those who have heard the orchestra this year will agree that Mr. Crocker has worked wonders with it in the short time he has had it.


I have had the temerity to attempt to coach the Boys' Glee Club. It seemed too bad for a club which had been so carefully organized by Mr. Fontaine to be allowed to die for want of a foster parent. We have tried to make up for my lack of musical technique by earnest drill work in three and four-part singing. The enjoyment which the boys seem to get from this training in simple harmony has convinced me of the value of music as an elective for high school students. I have been hoping that our girls could have opportunity to organize a Glee Club but no one has yet volunteered for the work. One of my greatest regrets is that we are unable to do so little in the way of athletic and musical activities for the girls of our school.


The Student Council, under the advisorship of Mr. Mitchell, bore half the expense of buying a good second-hand piano to fill a long-felt need in the gymnasium. . The balance of the cost was paid by the classes of 1933, 1934, 1935 and 1936. With its management of the annual One-Act Play Contest, traffic regulation and general attention to student citizenship, the Council continues to play an important part in acting as a connecting link between the student body and the administration.


GRADUATION


Last June we had our third successive graduation under the plan of all-student participation in a centralized theme program. The general topic was "Citizenship," a third of the seven cardinal objectives of secondary education. The faculty committee in charge of graduation did a commend- able piece of work in supervising the various phases of graduation. This committee was composed of Mr. Littlefield, Miss Tubbs and Miss Partridge.


SUMMARY


In conclusion I wish to recommend solely that we attempt to retain our present staff which has proven itself so well fitted to meet the existing crisis in our economic affairs. If we can but "hold our own" in school efficiency and school morale until this Depression is over, I shall feel that Orange High School has fared well.


I wish to take this opportunity of giving public expression of my appreciation of the intelligent and cooperative interest which you and the school board have shown in our school."

SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


KIRKE L. ALEXANDER, M. D.


Following the recommendation of the State Department of Public Health, a more complete physical examination was given in the grades, enabling us to detect more easily various skin diseases, and to make a real test of the heart, lungs and spine, which was impossible by the older method. I hope next year to give all pupils the benefit of this more careful inspection.


This year the number of cases of Impetigo has lessened, but another contagious skin disease, Scabies, has increased.


Regarding Scabies, I fear that unless there is a wider understanding of the necessity for inspection of the entire family in which a case occurs, a very careful attention, to the sterilization of clothes, coupled with a com- prehensive, adequate, local treatment, all of us will be in danger of contam- ination by this persistent affliction. In this respect I recommend talks and newspaper articles to enlighten the public concerning the peculiarities of Scabies.


Teeth conditions are fairly good, but there is need for continued work. I hope it may go on in the same manner as at present.


The tonsil and adenoid cases are decreasing, owing to the persistent efforts which have been made to correct these defects, largely by the help of the Kiwanis Club.


In the Grades, fewer cases of heart trouble were found. In the High School there were about the same number as last year, definite improvement or recovery being noted in some instances. This functional heart trouble occurs to such an extent in all High Schools, that it is receiving consideration " by State health authorities. Doubtless after careful study definite recom- mendations will be made. It seems probable that heart trouble, which is increasing rapidly as a cause of death, may have its beginning at this formative age. Strains of the muscles and ligaments of the heart may be as lasting in effect as sprains of the knee or ankle which are never quite the same following such injury.


I am particularly concerned by the number of cases of poor posture evident throughout the whole school system. It seems too bad that such a large number of our boys and girls should be growing up into round- shouldered, flat-chested men and women. This condition is very striking in the High School where the need for correction is imperative. An especial effort is being made to emphasize the importance of good posture and appearance, not only from a health angle but from an economic standpoint. Once a realization of the deformity present is brought about, and a real desire for correction formed, all that remains is to show the person how it may be done. It is planned to start classes in posture correction for those interested.


We have been most fortunate the past year in having very little con- tagious disease, no infantile paralysis, and no diphtheria. In respect to


15


the latter, the usual immunization was carried out in the first grades, supple- mented by a summer clinic for pre-school children sponsored by the Board of Health. I urge all parents to have their children treated in this way at an early age because diphtheria is more easily contracted and more often fatal in children under five years.


In general, we whose work it is to improve health, may be pleased with the results of our labors; but we should ever strive to increase our efforts, realizing that even education itself is not more important than the preven- tion of disease and the promotion of health.


SCHOOL NURSING


FLORENCE B. RYAN, R. N.


School nursing is only one unit in my public health program, yet it is very important. The school health group examination is for the purpose of appraising the child before he shows signs of serious illness, and for applying the newer medical knowledge which may prevent defects from becoming more pronounced and also to prevent the development of disease.


Since health is an objective in education, the school must know the health status of every child in order to set up a program which shall meet the needs of all, whether handicapped or normal. The annual health examination gives the child an opportunity to hear about himself and also acquaints parents with the child's physical condition. The goal of the school is to give the child an education, but in many instances this is hindered because of defects which tend to retard mental growth.


The schools have set up various activities for the control of contagion and yet there are certain diseases which persist in spite of our best efforts. Those diseases which have come under control in our school population are diphtheria and small pox. Skin infections such as Scabies and Impetigo cause us considerable concern. For scarlet fever the new process is helpful but not sufficiently standardized to warrant a general recommendation.


The nurse interprets the child's condition in terms of his defects which need correcting, and also recognizes his undesirable behavior problems. While the younger age group has been my concern, yet the high school group offers another challenge to the nurse-that of poor posture. We shall try to improve this condition.


School examination shows that children entering school have more defects than any other group. This year a pre-school clinic was held, giving parents an opportunity to have their children examined, thus correcting existing defects before the opening of school. Some corrective work among the pupils has been done this year such as tonsillectomies, examination of eyes and ears, and corrective treatment for an infantile paralysis case.


The Blue Ribbon contest was extended through grades four and six. Twelve boys and girls were chosen to represent this group. A float was provided and this group attended Health Day at the Franklin County Fair.


16


Much credit is due the Franklin County Public Health Association for help- ing in making this day a success.


It is true that we cannot expect the best improvement in nutrition unless physical defects are corrected. Thus many home visits are necessary for conferences with parents; similarly it is important to confer with teachers. Inspections are made regularly in order to control communicable diseases.


Clinics do not attempt to cure the child. The clinic tends to show parents and teachers how they can perhaps change their own as well as the child's way of living in such a manner as to remove sources of trouble and give the child's personality a chance to develop normally. It is curious how seldom a child expresses his desire to have a fine body.


School nursing as a phase of health service includes vision conservation, nutrition, posture, correction of defects, personal hygiene, clinic service and the encouragement of the teacher to assist wherever possible.


In the rural schools the hot lunch has been stressed. Serving milk during the mid-morning period serves its purpose.


Follow-up work is very important, but owing to lack of time this part of the program is not efficiently carried out.


Seven pupils attended the Greenfield Health Camp during the summer for a period of three weeks each. They made progress along health lines and received intensive training in health education.


Instruction in the subject of Mothercraft was given the girls in Junior High School. Essays were submitted by the class to the Massachusetts Federation of Woman's Clubs. One of the girls received the honor of second prize, two dollars and a half in gold.


In conclusion the school health program has for its three main object- ives, the protection of health, the correction of defects and the promotion of sound health habits and practices.

DRAWING


HAZEL KINGSLEY


It is only during the past twenty-five years that the general public in the United States has felt the need of Art. Even today, many are not awakened to its value. We can trace the foothold of Art in America back to the World's Fair, held in Chicago, in 1893. At this time it was discovered that American products were inferior artistically when compared' with those of the continent. The quality was as good, but they were lacking. in color and beauty. Soon after it became one of the statutes, in almost: every state that drawing should be taught in all the public schools. The result is that commercial art has made rapid advancement in all lines, and America today does not have to take second place in producing beautiful articles.


In teaching drawing there are certain basic fundamentals, namely: Representation, design, color, construction, lettering and art appreciation; nearly all of these are started in the first grades and continued through the. high school.


The little child enters the school. The first drawing lessons look very much like scribbles, but they are beginnings. He is taught that the basis : of all beauty is order and soon he is making more orderly attempts on his; papers.


Step by step we work upwards through the grades, teaching the same basic fundamentals but adding each year a more difficult interpretation. A marked difference can readily be seen between the early beginnings and the high school work.


The trend today is more and more along the lines of creative expression, rather than the old idea of copying the work of another. Certain knowledge must be learned, but we try to leave in every problem an opening for individual thought. As we look around us, about everything that we can see was first conceived in someone's mind and then transferred to paper, and from the drawings the skilled workman then produces the finished product.


This fall we exhibited drawings at the teachers' convention held in Greenfield. During education week these same drawings were hung in the halls of Central School.


In April grades seven and eight entered the poster contest given by the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Every school received several prizes, and nine of these posters were selected for exhibition in the Boston Public Library.


18


When possible we have correlated drawing with other subjects. For example: Grade three while studying about the American Indians made Indian posters, grade eight, art paper travel posters in connection with their geography lessons.


IIoliday and seasonal problems have been taken up: Valentines, Wash- ington and Lincoln plaques in February, Spring flower panels, Easter cards, and nature study from flowers, leaves, twigs, etc., were drawn in April, May and June.


October brought Hallowe'en and many interesting suggestions for masks, lanterns and party favors. The upper grades made weird scenes cut from black paper and silhouetted on orange.


At Thanksgiving in many grades place cards were designed, in others Pilgrim posters.


For Christmas every child has had a chance to make some useful article that can be taken home as a gift. In grade one desk blotters with decorated covers, grade two handkerchief holders, grade three calendars, grade four memo pads for telephones, grade five recipe booklets, grades six and seven brush broom holders, and grade eight bookmarks.


In the High School we introduced wood carving, and have made some wall plaques and desk calendars with fine results.


Cut lettering has been started in grade three while in grade four, free hand lettering is commenced and continued up through the High School.


The basic orders of design have been taught, such as repetition, progression, and balance. Color and its theory has been taken up as sug- gested by the various problems. In all the grades where figure drawing has been given the lessons have been followed by story representation.


In every group we find some who have more talent than others. These may in time choose their life work in the field of Art. We cannot all become great artists; for the average child perhaps nothing more will be gained than the ability of self expression, and appreciation of beauty, the knowledge in making, when needed, a wise decision, by choosing that which is appropriate.


MUSIC


MYRTLE MacKAY


My subject, Music, may be divided into three parts,-Vocal, Instru- mental and Listening or Appreciation. In our work in the schools, we try to present the best in all three parts. Each of the three is equally import- ant, and to omit one is somewhat like an individual without an arm or leg.


In order to give all three a part in the music period, we spend ten minutes of our time for Appreciation and twenty for the vocal music.


When one considers that for most children this ten minutes a week is all the time they have for hearing the world's masterpieces in music and for becoming familiar with the great composers who made these pieces, learning


19


to pronounce their names, and becoming familiar with the instruments used to play this music, the time seems all too little to give. The radio is of assistance in this work, and in future may become more so.


The instrumental form of expression is the most expressive, as a good instrument means no small amount of money, besides the training necessary for satisfactory results. There are practically no instruments being studied in the Grades this year. We have a small sum of money in the bank, but at present it seems well not to buy instruments. A toy orchestra or rhythm band is very fine if there are plenty of funds, but again, it does not pay to buy cheap instruments, as they break in the first using.


We intended giving an entertainment last year, but instead, we joined with the High School in a Washington Pageant. We hope to do something along that order this year.


I know of no art that can give pleasure in as many ways and for so many people as Music does, and we aim to learn as much of it in all its aspects as we can.


ACKNOWLEDGMENTS


It is with considerable gratitude that we express our appreciation to those who have in any way contributed to the public schools in 1932.


From information on hand we have listed the following:


Orange Kiwanis Club, financial aid for minor operations and for financing preventive dentistry (silver nitrate treatments) for children in grades one and two, also for Miss Ryan's services in connection with hospital cases.


Orange Teachers' Association, $50 scholarship for a graduate of O. H. S .; also for sponsoring the "Orange Gardens" project.

RECOMMENDATIONS


Owing to the fact that very few physical improvements were made during the past year, that the adoption of recommendations, particularly those that have to do with alterations and equipment, may be expensive, and again because of further restrictions in our budget, we feel that it is unnecessary, in fact useless, to make recommendations which will involve large expenditures. Therefore, those that we do make are those of imme- diate importance and need, and with one exception, not costly.


For 1933 we recommend the following:


1. To continue to support a health program, seeking the improve- ment of health and the correction of those defects mentioned by the school physician in his report.


2. To devise and plan a physical education program for all in order to sustain this health program. (This is to be on a voluntary basis.)


3. A recognition of the cooperation shown by the members of our staff, and therefore that we attempt to retain the majority of our teachers for the next school year.


1


4. The improvement of the grounds about the South, Cheney and Whitney Street Schools, utilizing welfare labor for this purpose.


5. The installation of a partition in Room 21 in the High School in order to provide two home rooms, each to accommodate 36 to 42 pupils.


CONCLUSION


Once more we are emphasizing Orange schools and the quality of instruction therein. It is our purpose to continue a demand for efficient teaching so that our schools shall keep on rendering high-grade service.


But this is not to be attained without the good will and cooperation of parents. We ask a continuance of their support in keeping our schools free from possible destructive personal and political influence.


At town meeting we are provided with funds to carry on. We respect- fully urge the voters to provide the best educational opportunity that the town can afford. Only by so doing can we maintain quality of service.


In closing this report I am expressing my appreciation of the cheerful spirit manifested by our teachers and principals and the willingness they have shown to cooperate in spite of increased numbers and classes. We recognize also the helpful attitude of our professional associates. Last, we thank you for your thoughtful interest in the welfare of the public schools, your earnest desire for sane economy and your cordial support of this administration.


Respectfully submitted,


EDWARD C. HEMPEL.
