The difficulties regarding the proper placement of pupils and classes has been explained in previous reports. However, at the risk of being repetitious, increased enrollments have made it necessary to assign one class of the eighth grade to the high school and another to the Memorial School cafeteria for a homeroom and for certain subjects. In both cases, the consequences have been unsatisfactory. The first grades of the Rochdale, Cherry Valley, and Memorial schools have enrollments of 35, 40, and 39, stu- dents respectively. It is needless to say that desirable teaching pro- grams and the proper individual attention cannot be realized under these conditions.
In order to arrange a program that would correct these problems, an effort was made to rent the four classrooms of the Ludlow Street School in Worcester. A close inspection of the property and conferences with the authorities involved, led to the conclusion that it would be impractical to attempt to re- habilitate this building.
Another solution, that is being pursued at this time. is the possibility of obtaining the use of local church facilities for classroom areas.
It is hoped that agreements to use four of these rooms can be reached soon. If this is done, the first grade in the Cherry Valley and Memorial schools can be divided, some of the children can be transferred from the first grade in the Rochdale school to the Memorial school, a fifth grade from the Memorial school can be transferred to the Christ Episcopal Church hall in Roch-
:

ANNUAL REPORT
dale, another fifth grade from the Memorial school can be trans- ferred to the Center area and the fifth grade of the Cherry Valley school can be transferred with its teacher to a classroom made available in St. Joseph's school. This will allow the eighth grade in the high school to be transferred to the Memorial school and the eighth grade in that building that has its homeroom in the cafeteria can be assigned to a regular classroom.
In September, 1964, three additional rooms will be re- quired for the elementary classes. If there are no more areas that can be made available for these classes, it may be necessary to again go on double sessions.
In the last fourteen years, double sessions have been held seven years.
By 1966, it is believed that an additional fourteen rooms will be required for our elementary program.
Attention should be directed also to our high school facili- ties. As the building was built to accommodate five hundred pupils and the enrollment in that area was 521 last September, the need of additional classrooms soon at the secondary level seems to be quite evident.
Basketball was the first athletic endeavor in the year of 1963 and the team posted 14 wins and 7 losses. Coached by Mr. Paige Rowden, the team was second in the Western Worcester County League and second in the small schools tournament at Clark University.
It is expected that nine of the first ten ball players will re- turn for the 1964 season.
The junior varsity squad, handled by Mr. Argento, enjoyed a highly successful season. Many future stars learned the basic skills and fundamentals of team play which will be invaluable to future varsity teams.

ANNUAL REPORT
Mr. Lucier's baseball team, comprised mostly of underclass- men had a successful season in winning the Western Worcester County League Championship. The bulk of the squad will re- port for practice this spring and another winning season is an- ticipated.
The 1963 football team, with coaches Mr. Edward Gal- lagher and Mr. Joseph Carlomagno, participated in the South- Central Worcester County League.
Hampered by inexperience throughout the season, the squad, which numbered over forty, gained valuable experience needed for the 1964 season. The bulk of the boys, being sophomores and juniors, have learned fundamentals and team play through daily practice sessions and are eagerly looking forward to the coming year.
The track team, coached by Mr. John Comer, turned out for practice in record numbers. They eagerly participated in vari- ous track and field events. Although not in any league, they gained additional honors for our school.
The 1963 Girls Basketball team, coached by Miss Barbara Morrison, achieved the finest record in the history of the school. They took part in the Sutton Invitational Girls Basketball Tournament and finished triumphantly in second place, return- ing with the first trophy ever awarded to a Leicester girls' team. It proved, by far, to be a victorious season.
Miss Morrison also coached an undefeated softball team, which closed the season with a record of ten wins and no losses. This was the first undefeated season in the history of girls softball at Leicester High.
The 1963 Leicester High Cheerleaders took third place in the David Prouty Cheering Tournament last March. The squad included: Captain, Carole Huntoon; Co-Captain, Florence Valu- kas; Sandra Leno, Norma Jacobson: Robert Lyon; Christine

Bercume; Marilyn Berthiaume; Sandra Erickson; Dianne Mun- son; Linda Munson; and Georgene Riedl.
Cheerleader tryouts were held in May for the current sea- son and the varsity and a junior varsity squad were chosen.
The social aspect of school life was provided by the formal Junior Prom and senior Dinner Dance as well as periodic and less formal record hops. Dancing was introduced during the recess period each day in the gymnasium and provided whole- some entertainment for the student body. Rallies were held to usher in the football and basketball seasons and various as- semblies of an educational nature were provided during the year.
The annual senior trip was made to Washington with Mr. and Mrs. Edward Jubinville acting as chaperones. Guided tours and visits were made to the many historic and educational points of interest in the District of Columbia area.
The 1963 Maroon, school yearbook, had as co-editors, Cornelia Salminen and William Hennessey. The total cost of 265, 88-page copies of the yearbook was $1,749.38. Money was raised through subscriptions, advertising, and the sale of candy and book covers. The school photographer was Loring Studio, and Taylor Company of Dallas, Texas, was the publisher. Mr. James A. Tivnan was faculty advisor.
Despite its being postponed because of the President's death and finally being produced on Thanksgiving Eve, "I WAS A TEEN-AGE DRACULA," the senior play of the class of '64, directed by Mrs. Irma K. Bosse, had a capacity audience. A mystery-comedy with much excitement and hilarity, the play was very well received and netted the seniors funds for their future expenses of the year. Included in the cast were Janice Thompson, Teresea Pietro, Donna Place, David Potter, Susan Doane, Brenda Pratt, Robert Campbell, Virginia Stuart, Michael Kennedy, Russell Brooks, Robert Hadley, James Donahue, Steven Sroka, Lynne Styles, Sandra Binnall, Linda Hattula, and James

On May 7, 1963, the first annual convocation of the Lei- cester High School chapter of the National Honor Society was held in the high school auditorium under the direction of E. Jay Tierney, Guidance Counselor. The guest speaker was Dr. Henry C. Borger, Jr., Dean of Students at Clark University. The schools chapter numbered nineteen members. They were elected to membership because in addition to being excellent scholars, they possessed the other fine qualities of leadership, cooperation and citizenship. Senior members of the chapter were: Joanne M. Beck, Cornelia A. Salminen, Linda M. Sandstrom, Judith A. Shephard, Barbara A. Sliwowsky, Roderick M. Stuart, Ann E. Toomey, and Leonora M. Van Hook. Members of the Society from the Junior Class were: Norma J. Jacobson, Robert P. Pisar- ski, David W. Potter, Lynne M. Styles, Susan D. Thompson. Sophomore members included Edward A. Griffith, Robert S. Kennedy, Paul L. McNamara, Dianne Munson, Glenda G. Sal- minen, Kean Wilcox.
National Honor Speeches were delivered by Lynne Styles (Scholarship), Roderick Stuart (Service), Judith Shepard (Character), David Potter (Leadership). Each society member received a National Honor Society Pin.
Guidance services in the Leicester Public Schools have been implemented by Mr. William A. Sipos, at the elementary level, and by Mr. William J. Gannon Jr. and Paul J. Zambarano, at the secondary level. Counseling services have been supplemented, where the needs of the particular student or family transcends the

In conclusion, guidance concerns itself with the problems arising from or manifested in maladjustment to the school pro- grams and activities. The testing program is found useful in evaluating a pupil's progress in terms of his projected learning capacities as made manifest by previous testing and classroom-per- formances. Guidance also concerns itself with assisting the in- dividual student in making the necessary adjustments within the school situation which will culminate in a well-adjusted and pro- ductive school environment.
The Debating group at Leicester High School numbering fifty students organized into a club for the academic year. Teresa Pietro was chosen as President and Bernard McNamara was elected Permanent Moderator. The group, under the supervision of Mrs. Virginia Emerson, through panel discussions and formal debates, strives to develop both research technique and oral expres- sion. They meet once a week and have plannd future debates with neighboring high schools.
Routine work in the school health department was carried out as follows:
