The annual prize speaking program was given January 23, 1948 at the Mendon Town Hall. The following pupils took part in the contest: Gertrude Oppewal, Lorna F. Wagner, Ronald T. Lowell, Sylvia M. Harvey, Richard M. Watson, Jacqueline M. Curley, Shirley B. Keefe. The prize winners were: Ronald T. Lowell-First Prize; Shirley B. Keefe- Second Prize; Jacqueline M. Curley-Third Prize.
The Senior Play, "A Case of Springtime," was presented very successfully on the evening of December 17, 1948 at the Town Hall. The proceeds of the affair were added to the Washington Trip Fund.
The Washington Trip remains an important feature of the high school senior year. The trip has acquired the stand- ing of a school tradition. For a long period of time, except for a few years during the war, the senior classes have had the very fine opportunity and privilege of making the trip during the annual spring vacation. It has been one of the high points in the experience of most high school students and has contributed greatly to their general experience and education. Higher costs in transportation and lodging have raised the cost of the trip. It is quite possible that the time is not far off when the use which is made of the Washington Trip by our school pupils will be much more carefully weighed in the balance. The effort and financial backing of the com-
96
munity which are involved in raising the necessary funds de- serve the sincere gratitude of each class. The necessity of dropping the Washington Trip from school activities would be a serious loss to the young people of Mendon.
Recent additions to school equipment include a new sound motion picture projector, a record player and amplifier combination, and a wire recorder. These units will provide educational possibilities which far exceed those available in the past in the field of visual education, educational radio broadcasts, record transcriptions, and voice recordings. To- gether they represent a most progressive step in providing modern facilities in some of the newer techniques of educa- tion.
The school lunch program continues into its second year of operation under the direction of the Mendon Parent- Teacher Association. A large and constant patronage by the pupils of the school demonstrates that it is making a highly successful contribution in the welfare of school pupils.
Parents are urged to confer with the teachers and prin- cipal whenever there is any question relative to pupil prog- ress, discipline, or any matter in which there should be com- plete understanding between the home and the school.
In conclusion, I wish to express my deep appreciation and that of the teaching staff for the cooperation and assistance of the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Rowe, the School Com- mittee, the Parent-Teacher Association, and the townspeople of Mendon.
Respectfully submitted,
HENRY P. CLOUGH,
Principal.

MUSIC SUPERVISOR'S ANNUAL REPORT.
To Mr. Percy L. Rowe,
Superintendent of Schools :-
The aim of music in the public schools is first of all in- tended to create a love and appreciation of music on the part of the child. This objective is arrived at in a threefold manner -through voice culture, proper interpretation, and music reading.
By voice culture we do not mean the scientific training of the voice for solo work. We mean the producing of a good tone, which we achieve by stressing correct posture, open throat, loose tongue, relaxed chin, and resonance. We are finding in some instances, a long hard task in getting head tones to replace the tone "way down in your shoes."
Proper interpretation is a memory process and is taught best by imitation and suggestion. This is based on an intel- ligent appreciation of the moods, structure and notation of music.
Music reading is a theoretical or technical work. It is not a memory process. It is taught by a pedagogic plan or ar- rangement of rhythm patterns and tone and by a knowledge of chromatics.
I would like to express my appreciation for having been appointed Supervisor of Music Education in the Mendon Schools. I find the teachers most willing to cooperate with me and it is to their ability and conscientiousness that I pay tribute. The assistance of the teachers and of Mr. Rowe has made my work a pleasure.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTINE M. WILSON,
Supervisor of Music.

SCHOOL NURSE'S ANNUAL REPORT
To Mr. Percy L. Rowe,
Superintendent of Schools :-
As is customary, the Mendon School was visited once per week; and the following is a summary of the work done at the weekly visits in Center school in Mendon, by the school nurse.
In early spring, a series of three tox-oid clinics were held at which 11 children received the booster dose and four babies the three regular doses, from Dr. Campbell, the school physi- cian. A nurse also assisted him with the physical examina- tions, at which the following defects were noted and parents notified :
Enlarged tonsils 12
Defective teeth 24
Wax in ears 9
Enlarged cervical glands 4
Heart Murmurs
5
The children were weighed three times and reports were sent out to parents.
Pupils transported home from school
when necessary 12
Physical examinations 189
Clean inspection 263
Classroom inspection 193
99
Treated for minor ailments 18 Home visits 59
Talks with teachers 136
Home conditions were checked and clothing brought to needy families.
We had a few cases of communicable diseases: mumps, measles were reported and checked and one case of scabies was watched closely. Two cases of chicken pox were reported this Fall.
During the summer months, the usual home visits were made on children entering the first grade. The histories were taken and diseases noted for the physical health cards.
In closing, may I express my gratitude to Mr. Rowe, Mr. Clough and all the teachers, for their courtesy and co-opera- tion. I would also like to thank the school committee, the board of health and the parents for their support.
Respectfully submitted, RUTH G. MANUEL, R. N., School Nurse.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
Mendon, Massachusetts. January 10, 1949.
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF MENDON:
Another year has passed and it is with gratitude for your loyal support and interest in the Mendon school system that the School Committee take this opportunity to make a brief report to you.
It was with deep regret that the resignation of Mr. Robert Chase had to be accepted when he moved to Uxbridge.
Mr. Herbert Bowen was chosen by the selectmen and the remaining members of the School Committee to succeed Mr. Robert Chase until the annual election in March 1949.
Adequate roof drainage was provided on the north side of the school by piping directly to the highway drainage system thus eliminating the dry well problem that was constantly let- ting water overflow into the school basement.
Chemical action is being injected into our water and boiler systems to reduce the excessive corrosive characteristics of the hard water that is in the school well. This has already begun to reduce repair costs and eventually will bring them to a minimum. The maintenance cost of this system is moder- ate.
The seemingly endless spiral of increasing cost of materi- als and supplies compel the School Committee to request a
105
15% increase in our budget over last year. However, the much larger reimbursement from the State will take care of nearly all of this increase so that the net cost by taxation will be about the same as last year.
There has been an average increase in the costs of sup- plies of 50% within the past two years so we trust that you understand the acute problem we are constantly facing in financial matters.
We are proud of our teaching faculty and we are doing all we can to promote their desire to stay in Mendon by bring- ing modern equipment into the school system in order that teaching and learning may be interesting, pleasant, instruc- tive and up to date.
Education has come to a critical stage in our present day that is alarming due to the lack of teachers. A recent census shows that 350,000 teachers have left the American public schools since 1940. 70,000 teaching positions left unfilled. 2,000,000 school age children are not in school. We must not let this disaster strike here in Mendon. By your loyal sup- port, interest and suggestions it will not.
Pupils of today will be Parents of tomorrow and by our continual effort in their behalf they shall not be denied the educational facilities that they are entitled to have to provide for their children as we have made available for them.
Our noble heritage will not find Mendon wanting in the pages of future history and the many newcomers to our town attest to the spirit of our ever going forward.
We appreciate the zest with which Principal Clough has tackled the operation of technical equipment recently acquired for the school in the visual and sound fields.
106
The faithful and loyal service and cooperation rendered by Superintendent Rowe, Principal Clough, our Teaching Staff, Mr. Raymond Barrows, Mr. Harold Barrows and Mr. Jesse White is gratefully appreciated by the School Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN LUNDVALL, Chairman, GORDON GOOD, Secretary, HERBERT BOWEN, Mendon School Committee.

In Memoriam
MATHEW M. MANTONI
October 12, 1910
January 11, 1950
In the passing of our beloved Chief of Police during the performance of his duty, Mendon has suf- fered a grievous loss. It has been said that no one is indispensable; yet it will be a long time before the Town will be able to replace him.
He was cool, brave, and firm. Yet too, he was friendly, lenient, and kindly. He was a big man physically; he was a big man mentally. Above all, he was a family man, who loved his wife and children. A man with all his qualities one cannot find every day.
THIE !
CHIEF MATHEW M. MANTONI
