The gift of a movie projector by the P.T.A. and the new duplicating machine are very much appreciated.
Speaking for the Woodville School, Mr. Leonard, Principal, calls at- tention to the fact that, while 180 pupils were the expected enrollment, 212 children appeared.
221
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The schedule here is completely departmentalized. This means, among other things, an opportunity to provide more study period time, under supervision, and a good club program.
Moving the two eighth grades from the Greenwood School to Wood- ville meant one vacant room at the former school beginning in September of 1950. However, with three first grades coming in and two seventh grades going to Woodville, all eighteen rooms will again be used in Sep- tember of 1951.
The classrooms at the Greenwood School were most interestingly dec- orated for each of the holiday seasons, displaying the good work being done by the Art Department. Through the help of the P .- T.A. a still-film projector and two sets of films have been purchased for the use of the primary grades.
From the report of Miss Lenk, Reading Consultant.
The general objective is to offer rich and worthwhile reading experi- ences to the children of Wakefield to prepare them for living in a demo- cratic society.
To accomplish this objective the following activities have been car- ried on:
1. Teachers' demonstrations and conferences.
2. Public relations, through talks to community groups.
3. Classroom visits to offer consultant service for testing and dem- onstration purposes.
4. The role of testing in our reading program.
5. Provisions for serious reading problems.
6. Observation of Book Week.
7. Rendering remedial services.
8. Curriculum building program.
Examples of the scope of this work.
1. 6 demonstrations have been held for teachers at all grade levels.
2. 273 classroom visits have been made since September.
3. 337 first grade pupils have been given the Lee-Clark Reading Readiness Test.
4. The Stanford-Binet test (mental capacity) was administered to 32 pupils.
5. The Metropolitan Achievement Test will be given to all grades in May, and in January the Kuder Vocational Preference Test will be given to all eight grades.
Some suggestions for 1951:
1. The need of an assistant to work with retarded children.
2. Preparing a "Getting Ready for School" bulletin for parents of pre-school children.
3. Arrange for a teacher workshop.
4. Increase in teacher visitation in other school systems.
5. Building of unitary material for teacher use.
6. Adding new equipment such as reading chairs, fill-in maps, dic- tionaries, and supplementary reading books.

From the report of Mrs. Walter, Music Supervisor
With the adoption of the New Music Horizons Series the following five-fold program is possible:
1. Music reading.
2. Singing.
3. Rhythmic activities.
4. Listening activities.
5. Creating music.
Music aptitude tests are given yearly in grade five for advice to par- ents concerning instrument study. One continuing problem is the lack of musical instruments to meet pupil demands, and an instrument rent- ing plan is suggested, as is also a plan of class instrumental lessons.
The elementary school glee clubs and the High School Girls' Glee Club gave their annual concerts in the spring, and the Spring Festival was held on the Common in May.
Art Department, Miss Jenkins, Supervisor
The program for the primary grades has included a great deal of free expression work interspersed with directed drawing and a limited amount of pattern work. The attempt is made to build up hand control and familiarity with art mediums. Modeling helps to teach the children to observe the shape of objects in three dimensions.
The intermediate and upper grades also do a great deal of free ex- pression drawing in correlation with their history and geography. De- sign, perspective and color study have an important place in the program.
The upper grades have made many posters during the year, and many of the classrooms have blackboard decorations done by the pupils. Three 8th grade boys from the Hurd School made large, attractive pic- tures which are hung in the School Committee room. Pupils in these grades at Montrose have painted scenery for assembly programs, and also a Christmas window on one of the stairways.
From the report of the Director of Instrumental Music, Mr. Fanck
The High School band has 53 members and the orchestra 24. They rehearse three times a week, and, as in past years, have played at as- semblies, football games, rallies and community observances, as well as giving the annual concert.
There is also a junior band and a junior orchestra, rehearsing weekly, and organized for the purpose of developing material for the senior band and orchestra. Classes are also held for the various band and orchestra instruments, organized principally for the pupils in the elementary schools. These latter pupils give a recital in June.
From the report of the Director of Athletics, Mr. Crompton.
Physical Education.
Miss Cleaves, the new teacher assigned to the elementary schools, has done a fine job with the girls' program. The aims of this program are:
1. The development of useful skills for leisure-time play.
2. The development of essential safety skills.
223
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
3. The development of specific skills for use in games and sports.
4. To reach and develop good sportsmanship and fair play.
5. To develop leadership qualities insofar as the age level permits.
6. To have fun.
Each school is visited twice a week. In two schools grades 5 and 6 are covered (there are no grades 7 and 8 in these buildings), while in the others grades 7 and 8 are covered.
The current national emergency will demand a few changes in our overall program. Our boys must be physically fit to meet the rigors of universal military training. They must be socially ready for what will be the greatest change in environment they will ever meet.
Each student must be treated as an individual and the necessary physical activity to bring him to his physical peak must be provided.
More playing space and personnel have been allotted to the girls' pro- gram to the point where over half of the total enrollment is taking part.
Athletics.
Those students who have athletic ability are funneled into what we call our sport feeder system.
Take football as an example. Elementary school boys are taught the basic skills, and the more talented form a touch football team, which plays in a town-wide league. The High School has varsity, junior varsity and Freshman squads. Counting all squads, 128 boys were dressed and played last fall. The same is true of other sports.
The physical education program is tied in with athletics, to give all students an equal opportunity to display their sports skills. Equal atten- tion is given to athletic and non-athletic students. Special attention is given to those who may have social or physical maladjustments. The response to date has been encouraging.
Dr. Richardson, School Physician, reports that-
2905 pupils were examined, with the following defects noted:
836 needed dental work done, with 1915 cavities found, with 1173 corrections found later
56 needed tonsils removed
77 had wax that filled the ear canals
6 heart diseases were found
258 boys were examined before they entered sports, with three being turned down
107 pre-school children were examined, with the recommendation that four not be accepted for school.
Miss English, School Nurse, reports

5 Children taken home
4 Children taken to the doctor's office
3 Children taken to the dentist

Leaving Wakefield is not an easy or happy task. It has been a won- derful home and to work in its school department has been a privilege. Your superintendent will always look back on these years with genuine pleasure. He will always remember his friends and associates with af- fection.
Too high a tribute cannot be paid the School Committee, the faculty, or the central office staff. They have been superb. To them goes deep appreciation. To Mr. Fisher, assistant superintendent, whose loyalty and faithfulness have made the work of your superintendent not only easier and more productive, but have prevented him from making many mis- takes, goes heartfelt thanks.
To the citizenry as a whole your Superintendent of Schools feels indebted for the many kindnesses shown his family and him and prays that its wisdom will point out the best solution to the many community problems directly ahead.
Respectfully submitted,
CARL M. BAIR, JR.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
During the past year the Wakefield School Department lost, through retirement, the services of the following teachers:
Irene Fletcher Norton Abbie A. Bell Winifred Beal
Miss Norton is a native of West Tisbury, Mass., and a graduate of Northfield Seminary and Hyannis Teachers' College. From 1904 to 1908 she taught in Dana and South Chelmsford, Mass., and in New Ipswich, N. H. She came to Wakefield in 1908 and taught here continuously until her retirement in June, 1950.
Born at Billerica, Mrs. Bell is a graduate of Salem Teachers' College. She taught in Wakefield from 1904 to 1907, at which time she resigned to be married, returning as a teacher in 1925 to continue until her retire- ment in June, 1950.
Miss Beal was born in Jonesport, Maine, and is a graduate of Wash- ington State Normal School. After six years as a teacher in Jonesboro and Dixfield, Maine, she came to Wakefield in 1924, to teach continuously until her retirement in August, 1950.
To these three ladies who gave a total of 96 years of their lives to the boys and girls of Wakefield the School Department desires to express its sincere appreciation for good work well done, and to extend its cordial good wishes for the years ahead.
