NATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK


A slight change in our annual observance of this sepcial week brought many fine words of praise from parents. Parents were encouraged to visit school during the evening of November 8 and to progress through a day's complete program of fifteen-minute periods. Teachers explained to the parents what they hoped to ac- complish during the year in their subjects. Parents were given a short time to ask questions of the teachers. About two hundred fifty parents attended.


EVALUATION


Our self-evaluation phase of the program of evaluation by the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools is well under way. Our faculty has completed formulation of its school philosophy and a set of objectives which have been approved by the School Committee. The faculty is now engaged in working by com- mittees in subject matter fields in evaluating each phase of our educational program. We are setting a tentative date of October, 1962, to be evaluated by a visiting committee.


COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM


The Baccalaureate message was delivered on Sunday, June 11, by The Reverend Andrew F. Wissemann of the St. James Episcopal Church. The Prayer of Invocation was given by The Reverend Laurence Sibley of the Community Bible Church. The Lesson was read by The Reverend Harold Tallman of the Northfield Baptist Church while the Benediction was given by The Reverend Thomas S. Cleaver of the Federated Church of Warwick.

Of the fifty students who graduated with the class of 1961, twenty-five are continuing their education this year while nine others have entered the armed forces. Sixteen students are continuing in four year colleges as follows: University of Massachusetts, 4; Keene Teachers' College, 3; Northeastern University, 2; and one each at University of Pennsylvania, Marlboro College, Oberlin, Westfield State, Drew University, Letourneau, and Western New England.


45


Two students have entered nursing school, three students are attend- ing Northampton Commercial College, one student attends East Coast Aerotech, one girl is attending an Airline Hostess school, two are taking post graduate courses at P.V.R.S., two are married, while the other fourteen are working.


ACTIVITIES


There were, among many, two activities for which our school had state-wide recognition during the past year. Last spring a group of students consisting of Renee Pillard, Raymond Jackson, Peter Leach, Sandra Peterson, and Gloria Dunn, under the direction of Mr. John Williams entered the student government exchange pro- gram conducted by the State Department of Education. Our entire school was most pleased to have a second place award as a result of this program. The exchange was with Springfield Classical High School. The exchange kit has been displayed in the various town libraries.


The other recognition was for outstanding work in November by members of the F.F.A. boys judging teams. Philip Grover received a first place award in the state as a judge of general livestock. He with Donald Hubbard and Robert McCollum received a third place rating as a team in judging general livestock. A team composed of Robert Deane, Ronald Wright and Lorren Pratt received a first place rating in the judging of dairy cattle. This is the highest rating ever attained by our boys in the Agriculture Department.


Other activities were conducted as in the past with the general concensus being that all the activities are very successful and that over 70% of our students take advantage of the opportunity to engage in the extra curricular program.


IN CONCLUSION


The smooth running operation of our school is due to the co- operative work of a very fine faculty, a student body of which the district can be proud, very efficient clerical help, loyal custodians, wonderful parents, hard-working cafeteria workers, an understanding school committee, and dedicated administrators and supervisors. May I extend my sincere thanks to all who have been so helpful in making the present year the best that Pioneer has experienced.

SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


The school physician examined all children in the seventh and tenth grades and all members of athletic teams and of athletic squads from all grades. He attended both home football games and rendered


47


first aid to the players of both teams at those games. The visual and auditory acuity examinations are carried out by the school nurse.


Respectfully submitted, ANSEL B. TRUE, M. D. School Physician


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


Physical examinations in grades 7, 10, and all new students were completed in the fall by Dr. True. All students participating in any sport were also done. Total number examined was 299.


The Massachusetts Vision Tests were given to all students in school by the School Nurse. Of the 453 students enrolled at Pioneer, 42 failed the tests and 28 of these are either under treatment, have new glasses, or have had their glasses changed.


In hearing tests given to the same group of students, 15 failed but 12 of those are under treatment.


Home Nursing classes were conducted from January on for 16 weeks. This course isn't usually appreciated until the girls have homes of their own or some member of their immediate family is ill. Then the practical knowledge they have learned becomes val- uable.


Parents please take notice - by law I am allowed to give only first aid. I am not allowed to give medicine in any form, not even an aspirin tablet.


Steel rods, with muslin curtains hanging from them, have been installed in the nurse's room. They divide the room into three sections thus enabling the room to be used to better advantage.


I wish to thank all the school personnel for their cooperation and patience especially during the eye, ear, and physical examination time.


Respectfully submitted,


DOROTHY STREETER, R. N. School Nurse
