The number of pupils now in the primary room is causing mme concern. The task of teaching multiple grades is a challenge in itself without having a crowded room. We should watch this situation with great care.


SCHOOL PERSONNEL


The opening of school found Mrs. Helen F. Smith starting her eleventh year of teaching in the primary room. Early in October she entered Franklin County Hospital and died there on December 27. She maintained her cheerful courage and fortitude through- out the tragic ordeal. The school personnel and pupils extend their heartfelt sympathy to her husband, Mr. Gerard Smith, and her son, Bartley.


Mrs. Ida Wright of Greenfield, a graduate of Caselton Normal School and ten years of teaching experience, was engaged as sub- stitute teacher.


35


SCHOOL CAFETERIA


During the year 7,403 type A pupil lunches, 317 adult lunches and 756 additional bottles of milk were served in the Leyden School Cafeteria. -


At the end of the school year, Mrs. Charlotte Howes resigned as cafeteria manager. For five years she had been highly success- ful. Mrs. Bernice Brooks was appointed to this position. Mrs. Brooks has been very successful and the cafeteria maintains its popularity.


'Mrs. Charlotte Howes continued her fine work as custodian.


SUPERVISORS


The vocal and instrumental music programs under the leader- ship of Miss Phyllis Drew and Mr. Eugene Gancarz have enjoyed a most gratifying year. Much has been accomplished in the vari- ous art projects under the direction of Mr. August Mello. The pro- blem of time still plagues the vocal music and art programs. The time is not far off when the Bernardston Elementary school must face the necessity of building a four room addition. At that time, this problem of supervisors time will need complete solution.


CURRICULUM


The curriculum of a school is the most important single item and should be under careful study at all times. During the early months of the year the course of thirty-six class hours in the "Modern Approach to Mathematics" was completed under the splendid leadership of Mr. Hugh Hayden, Principal of the Bern- ardston Elementary School. The attendance and cooperation of the teachers of Union #18 was most gratifying. This in-service train- ing was to enable us to choose a textbook that would most nearly fit our curriculum and teaching abilities. The series as published by the American Book Company was adopted for Grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 and the Laidlaw Company series for kindergarten and Grades 1 and 2. These books were obtained in September and the progress made has been most satisfactory.


This past fall has seen our teachers examining and discussing English Language books, under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Mayberry of the Gill Elementary School. Shortly after the Christ- mas holidays meetings will be held to choose a suitable text to fit


36


our needs in the English curriculum. It is the policy to attempt to review and retex one major subject each year. A year ago it was science, this year mathematics and next year it will be English. The average life of a book in school use is about five years. In general, by this plan books are replaced as they are worn out and outdated, for good school procedures.


REGIONAL VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL


In October the projected agreement of the Franklin County Regional Vocational Technical School was voted by Leyden. How- ever, three non-union #18 towns voted against the proposition. In that two of these towns would be sending many pupils, it became necessary to revise the agreement. This is being done and it is hoped that the next vote can be taken during the month of April. The type of training offered by this school compliments rather than replaces any curricula that we now have. With the need of more training of our youth, this school would be a fine addition to our school offerings. I urge the town to maintain the same vote in April.


WILLIS REPORT


On the last Wednesday in December this Special Commission released a summary report of "Quality Education for Massachu- setts." This Commission has studied all types of education offered in the Commonwealth and has offered to the Legislature a master plan of recommendations. It is their hope that most of their re- commendations can be made the law of the Commonwealth. It suggests a reorganization of the State Department of Education with increased personnel to furnish greater leadership and en- forcement of the educational laws of the state. Following are a few of the recommendations that would affect our local schools:


1. "The school year shall consist of 185 days of actual school attendance for pupils between September 1 and June 30."


2. "School districts shall provide a half day of kindergarten for 185 days (attendance permissive)."


3. "The compulsory education for mandatory attendance shall be set at age six with immediate implementation; the upper mandatory age shall be raised to age seventeen within two years and to age eighteen within four years (unless the students have graduated from high school)."


37


These are but a few that are set forth in the seventy pages of this report. It is planned to have copies available in all libraries. There will be a limited number at the Office of the Superintendent of Schools which could be borrowed for a limited time. I urge that every citizen find some means of acquainting himself with this report.


FINANCES


During 1964 the cost of public education in the Town of Leyden was $21,271.69 and Leyden's share of the Pioneer Valley Regional School operational costs was $21,246.42 making a total of $42,518.11. The reimbursements paid to the Town of Leyden were $12,338.13 and Leyden's share of the reimbursements paid to the Pioneer Valley Regional School was $3,839.82 making a total of $16,177.95. This leaves a net cost of $26,340.16. The Town of Leyden is educating 92 pupils during the year 1964. This makes a per pupil cost of $277.26. Analyzing costs of 1963 in the same fashion the per pupil cost was $287.20.


The reimbursements for the year 1965 as estimated follow:

You will notice that the School Committee Financial Report is in a slightly different form than previously. This is to conform with the new state accounting system. It is fully coded and far more in detail. This has been adopted to have all schools account for their funds in greater detail and all in the same fashion. Up to now, there have been many different systems and to compare one school system with another meant nothing. In a year or two when the difficulties have been worked out comparisons between school systems will be meaningful.


'Again, I urge you to study with care the detailed reports of the other school personnel accompanying this report. The success of our schools is the result of the cooperative efforts of the School


38


Committee, School Personnel, Parents, Friends and Students. I wish to thank each one for his or her contribution to the total suc- cess. It is pleasant and rewarding to be a part of such an ongoing enterprise.

I submit herewith my second annual report as Union Art Supervisor.


The primary and intermediate grades worked with water- color projects, graphic drawings, cut paper and collage exercises. These lessons were conducted as an advanced follow-up of last years introduction projects. Grades four through six were given, in addition, lessons dealing with lettering and perspective draw- ing as applied to architecture.

Report of the Music Supervisor


To the Superintendent of Schools and the Leyden School Com- mittee:


(


May I submit the report of the music program. Because of 'the sincere efforts of the teaching staff and administration in Union #18, the music program continues to grow. However, we are in need of added teaching personnel and materials with which to work.


The pianos in all schools have been tuned.


Grades two through six participated in the May Festival of Music at the Pioneer Valley Regional School.


All students took part in the annual Christmas program at the town hall.

School Nurse


To the Superintendent of Schools and the Leyden School Com- mittee:


Following is my second report as school nurse at the Leyden Elementary School.


Heights and weights were done in the spring and fall. Dr. William Buchanan started to examine the entire school body. It is planned to complete this examination in January.


Hearing tests were done and only a few defects were noted. Reports were sent to the parents.


Vision tests were done in the spring and only a few defects were noted. Reports were sent to the parents.


I wish to thank the teachers and parents for their coopera- tion throughout the past year.

Report of the School Doctor


To the Superintendent of Schools and the Leyden School Com- mittee:


Complete physical examinations were given all the pupils of the Elementary schools. Most were in good health. In cases re- quiring medical or dental attention, parents were notified.

REPORT OF THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC INSTRUCTOR


To the Superintendent of Schools and the Leyden School Com- mittee:


Twelve students are presently enrolled in the instrumental music program being conducted in the elementary school. These students are divided into two groups; beginners and those who have had a year's instruction. Each group receives an hour long lesson each Tuesday morning.


New students enter the program on a three-month trial period. The advantage of a trial period relieves parents of having to pur- chase a musical instrument without first knowing their child's musical potential. This has proven to be popular and wise.


All students in both groups take part in an annual spring concert which is held in the Pioneer Valley Regional School. They become members of the Pioneer Valley Regional School junior band upon reaching the seventh grade.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT


To the Pioneer Valley Regional School Committee and Citizens of Bernardston, Leyden, Northfield and Warwick:


I am pleased to present the eighth annual report of the opera- tions and accomplishments of the Pioneer Valley Regional School.


This year has seen the enrollment climb to the stated capaci- ty figure of 550. In fact, at the beginning of the calendar year the enrollment was 554. When the school opened in 1957 there were 315 enrolled. This situation calls for more difficulties in making the program, tends to stifle the expansion of the curriculum, forced the use of rooms not designed for that purpose, and makes the home room situation most difficult. In thinking of an addition, we should first examine our needs. In the ten years since the plans of this building were made, there have been many changes in the should first examine our needs. In the ten years since the plans of this building were made, there have been many changes in the teaching of many subjects. This addition should enable us to up- date all our procedures and have once again an up-to-date build- ing. We must estimate our growth for at least the next ten years. With Route 91 nearly completed and the great mobility of the


45


American public, this will be most difficult. However, the original school committee should be complimented on their fine forecast.


It is hoped that the Town of Gill will arrive at a solution of their junior-senior high problem in the near future. I feel that the entrance of Gill into our school would be of mutual benefit both educationally and financially for all towns. If this does not come to pass, we must proceed with the addition if we are to retain our high standards and ratings.

Starting January 24 there will be a class in typewriting spon- sored by the School Committee.


The so-called Willis Report was released December 30. This report covers all phases of education in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Some of its recommendations will be made law. This is the first time that the State has ever received such an all- inclusive report. Every citizen should take time to acquaint him- self with this report. The library and the Office of the Superin- tendent of Schools will have copies that can be borrowed.


Again I invite you to read the reports of the various depart- ments of our school for further details of the total operation.


46


The achievements and activities of Pioneer Valley Regional School are too many and varied to make a listing here. I wish to express my appreciation to all those who have in any way made this record possible.


I wish to thank the School Committee, School Personnel, Par- ents and Students for their hearty cooperation throughout the year.

PIONEER VALLEY REGIONAL SCHOOL


Annual Report of the Principal - 1964


To the Superintendent of Schools and the Pioneer Valley Regional School District Committee:


Herewith, I submit my eighth annual report as principal of Pioneer Valley Regional School.


Enrollment


As has been expected, our enrollment this school year now exceeds the planned capacity of 550 students. The first school week of September found us with an enrollment of 555. There is usually an attrition during the first few weeks of school of ten or a dozen students. This has not occured this year and our year- end enrollment shows that students are staying in school longer.


This increased enrollment has meant rather crowded condi- tions for many classes; the use of many small areas as classrooms which are not equipped or suited as such; and the curtailment of any plans to broaden our program of studies. Until such time as plans are made for the expansion of our building facilities, it will be necessary for our curriculum committee to concentrate on a study of our present program with a view to revision, consolida- tion of courses, or an increased use of auditorium facilities for larger group instruction.
