The art program is carried on by visiting each class once a week. To implement this program, two days are necessary. During the latter part of the 1959-1960 school year, eleven classes were taught in grades one through twelve. Beginning in September, 1960, there were ten classes in grades one through six. Each class now has more adequate time for art, due to the slightly longer periods.
Mendon's entries from grades four to twelve in the 1960 annual poster contest of the Massachusetts Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals were most successful. Nineteen posters were entered and thirteen prizes won. This was an unusually high percentage.
Rather than re-enter the above contest in 1961, it is hoped that during Book Week in the spring, grades four through six will be able to participate in the local contest with posters be- ing done in art periods.
My appreciation is extended to Mr. Henry Clough for his kind assistance during the years I worked with him. I should also like to thank the present administration and teachers for their excellent cooperation.

To the citizens of Mendon and Upton:
John Adams, second President of the United States, said, "The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people and be willing to bear the expense of it".
This profound truth has been obvious during the develop- ment and the progress in our democratic process of living.
Locally, we have joined together in a basic commitment to provide the best possible educational program for the young people of the Mendon-Upton District commensurate with our ability to pay for it.
We recognize that American democracy is dedicated to the development of the individual. We recognize, too, that education is the instrument for this development.
As a School Committee, we recognize that our purpose is to act as a connecting link between the public which sup- ports the schools and the professional personnel which ad- ministers the schools. As a School Committee, we are in a position to interpret each to the other. As a School Commit- tee, we accept the responsibility to create a basic policy by which the professional administrators carry out a program which provides not only knowledge, skills and ambition, but also creates wisdom, vision and the enhancement of cherished ideals.
For detailed information about the Regional School Dis- trict, we refer you to the report of the school administrators and the Public Accountant.
In summary, we are proud of Nipmuc Regional, of its ad- ministrators, of its students, of the spirit evidenced in all areas of curricular and extra-curricular activities and, most important, of the cooperative support and understanding of the people who make up the District.
A dream has been fulfilled, its fruits are already being realized. The future of our educational program is bright.
Our thanks go to the whole people who took upon them- selves the responsibility to educate the whole people and were willing to bear the expense of it.
Mendon and Upton Regional School Committee EDWARD PRENTISS Chairman

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL
It is with a great deal of pleasure that I submit this first report on the operation of the Nipmuc Regional High School.
Despite the late opening in September and the many diffi- culties encountered because of delayed use of facilities in some areas, I am very pleased to report that our school has func- tioned very well. Much of the credit for this fortunate state of affairs should go to a very capable staff and to the student body, both of whom have exhibited excellent cooperation.
At the moment of this writing, the enrollment at the school includes 175 from Mendon, 298 from Upton, and 2 tui- tion pupils, with individual class enrollment as follows:
Grade 7 98
Grade 8 99
Grade 9 93
Grade 10 69
Grade 11
60
Grade 12
56
In our effort to give all pupils the greatest possible oppor- tunity for learning, as much ability grouping as conditions per- mit is in effect. In both the 7th and 8th grades, where all pupils follow a prescribed curriculum, pupils are divided into four ability groups. After our first marking period in November, such pupil changes as were deemed in the best interests of cer- tain pupils were made. In the high school, a fairly good ability grouping has been possible in English, mathematics, and science. A finer and more effective grouping will be possible at this level when sufficient teaching personnel becomes avail- able.
The Guidance Department has been very busy in the test- ing and counseling of pupils to assist them in making intelligent plans and wise decisions with due regard for individual inter- ests, aptitudes, and abilities. By necessity, the Guidance Direc- tor has concentrated a large part of his efforts to the junior and senior classes so that these pupils will be able to take imme-
96
diate advantage of the services available. In order to effective- ly accomplish its purposes, the Guidance Department has set up the following:
1. An individual guidance record for each pupil.
2. A testing program.
3. An educational and occupational library.
4. Counseling sessions with individual pupils.
The following tests have been given to students since the opening of school:
Grade 7-California Diagnostic Reading Test Otis Mental Ability Test (Beta Form)
Grade 8-California Diagnostic Reading Test Differential Aptitude Tests Kuder Interest Test
Grade 9-Otis Mental Ability Test (Gamma Form FM)
Grade 10-English Cooperative Reading Test Cooperative English Expression Test Otis Mental Ability Test
Grade 11-Same as Grade 10 California Inventory Interest Test
Grade 12-Same as Grade 11
The above tests are taken by ALL students. In addition to these, students have the opportunity to take the following:
Grades 9 & 10-National Educational Development Test
Grades 11 & 12-National Merit Scholarship Test
Grades 11 & 12-College Entrance Examination Board Tests
The services of the Guidance Department are available to any persons in the towns of Mendon and Upton, student or adult. Parents are invited to come in and discuss the progress of their children.
97
The physical education and athletic programs are now in practically full operation, with all physically able pupils deriv- ing the benefits of the use of our gym facilities and equipment. In this connection, I am happy to report that basketball is avail- able to every interested pupil, with interscholastic and intra- mural programs in operation. Beginning next spring, the Nip- muc Regional High School will participate in baseball and bas- ketball in the Southern Worcester County Blackstone Valley League.
Our Art Department has proved to be a very popular one. This phase of our school program is elective and approximately 150 pupils are participating. Some results of our art program are on display at all times in the auditorium lobby trophy case.
Another phase of our program in which a large number of our pupils are taking part is the Music Department. All 7th and 8th grade pupils participate in a general music program. The rest of our music program, glee club and instrumental, is on an elective basis. We have approximately 80 junior high school pupils in choral work and 85 members in our high school glee club. Many of our parents enjoyed the first concert pre- sented by our combined glee clubs on December 17. Forty-two pupils are also participating in our instrumental program, re- ceiving individual instruction and rehearsing as a group, pre- paring for the development of a school band.
Approximately 80% of our student body is taking advan- tage of the hot lunch program prepared and served in very pleasant surroundings. Our lunch program has been commend- ed by the Massachusetts office of School Lunch Programs and I am sure that All of our pupils would benefit greatly through daily participation in this program.
We are very grateful for the excellent facilities and services of our Health Department. In addition to the daily services ren- dered by the school nurse, we are planning to give complete physical examinations to pupils in grades 7 and 11, and eye and ear tests to all pupils in the school.
An extensive program of extracurricular activities is avail- able to pupils. Included among these activities are the school paper, cheer leading, majorettes, Future Teachers of America,
98
Future Business Leaders of America, Future Nurses of Ameri- ca, and Student Council, all of which are under the supervision of members of the teaching staff.
At this time I should like publicly to extend my thanks to the members of the Student Planning Committee who worked very closely with me since last spring. Among the results of the efforts of this committee were the selection of our school colors, school athletic nickname, and the formulation of a basic policy relative to the selection of school and class rings. The members of this committee were: Bette Anderson, Jesse Cox, Deirdre Giatas, David Smith, Lloyd Johnson, Romona Temple, Roxie Barrows, and Ernest Porter.
All our high school classes have elected their officers for the school year and are busy planning their respective class programs.
Because of great interest on the part of members of our junior and senior classes to purchase class rings, arrangements were made for this purpose and these class rings have already been ordered and delivery in January has been promised. Be- ginning next spring, the policy will be for the Sophomore class to select and order its rings for delivery the following fall.
It may be of interest to note that the present senior class is planning to produce a yearbook. They would certainly appre- ciate any cooperation which could be extended by individuals and organizations in Mendon, Upton, and surrounding areas.
The social calendar at our school has been limited during the past few months, but we have had three record hops for the benefit of the pupils. These have been held in the school cafe- teria. The pupils are grateful to the School Committee for its provision of bus service to these affairs, and also to home basketball games.
In looking to the future and increased efficiency of our program, I should like to suggest the addition of at least two teachers to our staff next year. One of these teachers can be used to allow us to expand our English program so that we
99
may have a more effective ability grouping of pupils in this vital area. The other additional teacher could be a combina- tion shop and mechanical drawing instructor so that we can utilize our shop facilities more completely and expand our mechanical drawing offering.
Also, it would be to the advantage of the pupils and would add to the efficiency of our school program if we could have full time use of our art and music instructors.
In closing, I should like to extend my sincere apprecia- tion to Superintendent Kenneth L. Sharp, the members of the Nipmuc Regional School Committee, and all school personnel, and the members of the student body for their excellent co- operation in all matters concerning our school.
Respectfully submitted, WILHO FRIGARD

REPORT OF THE CAFETERIA MANAGER
To the Mendon-Upton Regional School Committee and Mr. Kenneth Sharp, Superintendent:
I hereby submit the first report of the Nipmuc Regional School Cafeteria.
To meet the requirements of the National School Lunch Program, our cafeteria serves a "Type A" lunch. Thus, each student is served at least 1/2 pint homogenized milk as a bever- age; 2 ounces of cooked or canned lean meat, poultry, fish, or cheese; or 1 egg; or 1/2 cup of cooked dry beans or peas; or 4 tablespoons of peanut butter; or the equivalent quantity of any combination of these foods. A 3/4 cup serving consisting of 2 or more vegetables and/or fruits in raw or cooked form. One slice of bread or a serving of corn bread, rolls, etc., made of whole grain or enriched flour or meal, 2 teaspoons of butter used as a spread on bread or in the preparation of other foods in the lunch.
Our Senior High School students are served more than the Type A requirement and "second" of bread and butter, or an- other portion of some part of the lunch is available to all students.
The lunch menus, in addition to being posted throughout the school, are published each week in the local newspaper and are read each morning from the Milford radio station. A lunch ticket is sold to the student on a weekly basis. This encourages him to enjoy the variety of meals prepared and ensures him of a balanced, hot, nourishing lunch each day, at the small price of 25¢ per meal. Homogenized milk is available to all students for 3¢ per 1/2 pint.
We welcome any parent who wishes, to visit our cafeteria and partake of our lunch.
Our school personnel, cafeteria employees, custodians, and students have been most cooperative in helping to accomplish the aims of the School Lunch program. We look forward to an even greater participation in our School Lunch Program.
