REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the School Committee and Citizens of Leyden:


I am pleased to present herewith my fourteenth annual report dealing with the progress made in the public school in the year 1961. This report covers the 190th year of public education in the town of Leyden.

SCHOOL PERSONNEL


This past year found no changes in our School Personnel. In general, the continued working together of a group, the greater the understanding and efficiency. Our building has been well kept, our extra-curricular activities have prospered, our lunch program has continued to thrive, and greatest of all, the interest of parents in their schools seems to be very high indeed.


SCHOOL CAFETERIA


During the year 6,363 Type A pupil lunches, 350 adult lunches, and 663 additional bottles of milk were served in the Leyden School Cafeteria. The State Supervisor of School Lunches has been very high in her praise of the program. The bulk of this credit belongs to Mrs. Charlotte Howes.


30


SUPERVISORS


Adding much to the enrichment of our school program is the splendid work of our supervisors. Music-Miss Phyllis Drew; In- strumental Music-Mr. Eugene Gancarz; Art-Mrs. Nathalie Turner; Physical Education-Mrs. Lois A. Humphrey. In order that our children may be capable of facing this complex adult world we must, to the best of our facilities and abilities, educate and develop the whole child, his many talents and understandings.


FINANCES


Since Leyden has joined the Pioneer Valley Regional School the usual fashion of reporting finances must be changed. Some reim- bursements resulting from the joining Pioneer Valley Regional School are paid directly to the town and others to the Pioneer Valley Re- gional School.


During 1961 the cost of public education in the Town of Ley- don was $17,452.34 and Leyden's share of the Pioneer Valley Re- gional School operational costs was $19,528.63 making a total of $36,980.97. The reimbursements paid to the Town of Leyden were $14,665.20 and Leyden's share of the reimbursements paid to the Pioneer Valley Regional School was $4,214.55 making a total of $18,879.75. This leaves a net cost of $18,101.22. The Town of Leyden is educating 88 pupils during the year 1961. This makes a per pupil cost of $205.69. Analyzing costs of 1960 in the same fashion the per pupil cost was $223.56.


The reimbursements for the year 1962 are estimated as follows:

I invite you to study with care the reports of the School Person- nel for a more detailed description of the activities of the school.


Public education is a cooperative effort of School Administrators, Teachers, Supervisors, Pupils, Parents, other School Personnel and the community as a whole. Those of us whose daily task is education invite you to visit our schools, learn of the varied program, notice the gamut of problems and we welcome your observations and sug- gestions. You can best judge your schools by seeing them in action.


31


This successful year just past is the result of the untiring efforts and cooperation of the School Committee, Principal, Teachers, Su- pervisors, and other School Personnel, Pupils, Parents and Towns- people. I thank each one for his help and assistance.

ART SUPERVISOR'S REPORT


To the Superintendent of Schools and School Committee of Leyden:


Again it is my pleasure to report on the progress made by the Art program in the Leyden school. Specifically, projects have been planned and completed to teach drawing, design, color harmony and improved personal hand skills. Yet more important than these goals are the far-reaching effects of an art program - pleasure in achieve- ment, the creation of something satisfying, the development of per- sonal taste and the understanding that art is as integral to everyday life as buying clothes or hanging pictures on the walls. These are the important values whose roots are nurtured in a school art pro- gram.


A program's success depends on the teachers who support the activities and enthusiasms of the children between visits of the su- pervisor. I am honored to work with teachers of the highest pro- fessional calibre, who have supported projects varying from finger- paints and paste projects to murals and window dressing. They have remained undaunted by the demands I have made on their patience and are unhesitatingly loyal even when the purpose behind a project seems obscure.


Student interest is the difference between a task and a joy - when attempting to teach an intangible value such as art.


Children's warm hearted welcome of every project and their complete cooperation have made my plans and their fulfillment a sincere pleasure. Frequently I have seen student's art work promi- nently displayed in homes or on their windows. This is a tribute to the student, to the art program and to the parents who understand a youths blossoming pride in personal achievement.


I believe that a prime factor in a good learning experience is pleasure. The basic purpose of our art program if the development of an understanding by the student, the Art in all of its forms is en- joyable. This knowledge produces easily evaluated results yet the final benefits are incalcuable.


Respectfully submitted, MRS. NATHALIE TURNER


Art Supervisor

REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR


To the Superintendent of Schools and School Committee of Leyden :


May I submit a report of the music program.


Because of the cooperative efforts of the elementary teachers, results in music education are becoming more and more apparent in all schools.


Two-thirds of the boys and girls from grades four through six are singing in special glee clubs which meet one-half hour each week. This enrollment will increase. An activity of this kind gives a large number of children the satisfaction of a more finished performance and is of lasting value in the life of an individual.


Christmas programs were given in all schools.


Music week was observed with festivals in which all schools were represented. Gill School performed Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pinafore." The Senior High Glee Club took part in the Western Massachusetts festival at Greenfield. The Junior High entertained the Belchertown Junior High singing group. There were various other programs throughout the year.


Several pianos have been tuned. A new piano has been pur- chased for the Regional School music room.


New books were obtained for Leyden, Warwick, Bernardston and Gill, as well as material for the Regional School.


Respectfully submitted,


PHYLLIS DREW


Music Supervisor


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DOCTOR


To the Superintendent of Schools and the Leyden School Committee:


Complete physical examinations were given all the pupils of the elementary school. Most were in good health. In cases requiring medical or dental attention parents were notified.


Respectfully submitted,


WILLIAM R. BUCHANAN, M.D.


37


REPORT OF LEYDEN SCHOOL NURSE


To the Superintendent of Schools and the Leyden School Committee:


Herewith I submit my report as School Nurse of the Town of Leyden.


I assisted Dr. Buchanan with the physical examinations of 46 pupils and notes relative to defects were sent home. The health of most students is very good, however, many of them need more dental work.


The students have been weighed and measured; and all have had their eyes and ears examined.


I have been able to bring the health records up to date with the cooperation of your parents who filled out the forms I sent home asking for health information.


On June 5, 1961 the Well Child Conference was held at the Town Hall with an attendance of 31 children. I wish to thank Mrs. Koshinsky and her committee for all their help in making the con- ference a success.


Thank you Miss Rhodes, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Howes for all your cooperation and services rendered.

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


I am pleased to present the fifth report of the operations and accomplishments of the Pioneer Valley Regional School. We are finding that the building facilities are expanding with the increasing numbers. The vast majority of our pupils engage in one form or an- other of extra curricular activity. Football as a major sport was played with a five game schedule. This coming fall will see a full eight game schedule. I urge you to read carefully the report of the Principal and Supervisors to note a detailed listing of the advance- ments made in the curriculum and academic offerings.


The citizens of the several towns make considerable use of the building on evenings and weekends. The Evening Practical Arts have averaged four courses per semester.


'This year the school experienced the largest turnover in the faculty since the opening of the school. This was occasioned by a varied number of reasons most of which were beyond the control of the school. On December 18th the State Department of Education listed ninety-four teaching vacancies in the Commonwealth. This has never been before late in March. It is indicative of the coming scarcity of good teachers. Good facilities greatly help the operation


39


of a fine school, but these fine facilities must be handled by an equally fine faculty and administration to produce an outstanding school. The School Committee must do everything possible to attract and retain good teachers. The salary schedule must be carefully studied so that a good teacher is not tempted to leave and if he does so, can only be replaced by a poorer teacher at a greater salary.

MISS EVELYN G. LAWLEY


In Northfield, and later Pioneer Valley Regional School, the name Miss Evelyn Lawley and good teaching were synonymous for thirty-eight years. There is hardly a family in our towns that has not benefited from her wise counsel and instruction. To this out- standing contribution Miss Lawley added the feat of never having been absent nor tardy in those thirty-eight years. I know that every- one joins with me in wishing Miss Lawley many happy and fruitful years of retirement.


40


From the first released table of costs of the operation of similar schools in the Commonwealth we find that our costs are most favorable. As soon as complete figures are available they will be brought to the School Committee for study and released through the press.


I wish to thank the School Committee, Principal, Teachers and all other school personnel, parents and students for their continued understanding and untiring efforts to make Pioneer the finest of schools.


Respectfully submitted, F. SUMNER TURNER Superintendent of Schools

As our school population and student needs change, our program changes. New subjects replace some which need to be brought up-to- date. At present we are working on the possibility of half-year courses in several areas to broaden our course offerings and make it possible for students to transfer to different courses at half-year if it is deemed advisable. Under proper guidance and with the knowledge of parents, all high school students choose the type of course that is best suited to their interests and needs.


New courses offered during the present school year include a course in government required of all freshmen which replaces the civics course. A course in homemaking is offered to all senior class girls but particularly for those who have followed the college pre- paratory course and have been unable to take any homemaking course before. This course includes both theory and laboratory work. A half-year course in physical science covering both chemistry and physics followed by a half-year course in earth science is offered to seniors in particular and some juniors. These courses are filling a long-felt need in our program.

General Science 30, 29-59
