The Mary E. Wells High School is in the process of returning to peace time educational policies.
The most gratifying sign of this is the return of our faculty members and students who served in the armed forces of our country. Another evidence is the return of the high school to a two-session day until such time as facilities can be built and an adequate cafeteria installed.
The citizens of the Town of Southbridge, I believe, under- stand the aims, courses, and high type of instruction given in our school. Therefore, I shall not dwell with the obvious in this re- port but rather I will speak of a few things I hope to see come to pass in the high school in Southbridge.
1. The high school needs a gymnasium which is large enough to divide separately so that it may be used by both boys and girls at the same time. The result of such an addition would be the building up of a physical education program in the high school. Along the lines of a physical education program comes the question of an athletic field and field house. These are needed vitally.
2. I hope to see a cafeteria installed in the Mary E. Wells High School building. This would permit a one-session day and al- low ample opportunity for a health building program. At the pres- ent time our athletic program which is our only form of physical education reaches too few of our pupils.
3. The high school office should be reconstructed to allow conference rooms and private offices for both principal and guid- ance director. At the present time, both offices are on different floors of the building and, as a result, much duplication of work is required. The records of pupils which should be convenient to both offices are not in the existing situation.
4. I feel that a library is needed in the building .. Pupils are forced to do all reference work afternoons or evenings in the town library. With a library in the building and a trained super- visor, much of the pupils' home work would be done in school.
-89-
These are a few of the improvements I hope to see realized. There are others but, at the present time, these take precedence.
I want to take this opportunity to thank publicly all of those degree teachers who carried on so ably while our regular teachers served in the armed forces. Further, my appreciation extends to Miss Constance Coderre who directed the Student Council in the sale of stamps and bonds during the war years, and to Miss Louise Corbin and to Mrs. Kathryn Beauregard for their untiring efforts with the Senior and Junior Red Cross activities.
I express my appreciation to Mr. Channing Greene, Superintend- ent of Schools, to every member of the School Committee, and to the taxpayers of the Town of Southbridge for this opportunity to pre- sent a report on the Mary E. Wells High School. I also offer my thanks for their kind support regarding the educational policies of the high school.
Respectfully submitted, JAMES M. ROBERTSON Principal

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF GUIDANCE AND PLACEMENT
The School Committee Southbridge Public Schools Southbridge, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
At the request of Mr. Greene, I am submitting a report of my activities in the position of Director of Occupational Guidance and Placement. Since I have only been here since September, my report will cover the period September-December 1945.
In explanation, may I state that my recent arrival in town has required that I devote much of my time to a process of familiar- ization. I have visited most of the larger industries and made myself known to their personnel directors. By telephone and personal visit, I have also become acquainted with many of the store owners and managers. I have spent my time thus because I realize that a placement officer relies considerably upon a personal acquaintance- ship with employment managers.
My guidance activities in connection with the Wells High School and Cole Trade School have resulted in some 350-400 individual con- ferences with students varying in length from 10 minutes to an hour. Most of these conferences have been for the purpose of helping the pupils with their educational problems. Over the past three months, I have interviewed and tested some 25 boys who wanted to transfer to Cole Trade High School. These boys were tested for mechanical aptitude and ability and the transfer recommended if boy showed the type of ability which would benefit froman industrial or trade training. Plans have been made to test and interview all seventh and eighth grade boys who may be interested in attending Cole Trade School next year.
Individual interviews with all Seniors will begin this week, to discuss their educational or vocational plans for next year. As a phase of this type of counseling, a conference on college choice was held with all Junior and Senior boys on December 12. The boys were addressed by a Mr. Jennings, director of admissions for Wesleyan University. A similar conference for girls is planned for February 16. This time the girls will be taken to Worcester to a pre-college conference being held at Bancroft School.
The occupational counseling of boys and girls not planning on further education is being carried on in several ways: first, by interview with the individual pupils; second, by organizing inter- views between the pupil and some outsider who is engaged in the field in which the pupil is interested; third, by arranging for work experience in a particular field for a pupil. The list of consultants drawn up by Mr. Dion is being revised to bring it up to date. In the meantime, it is being used frequently.
Due to the preoccupation of most boys with compulsory military service, a Mr. Green, recruiting officer for the Navy, was brought to the High School when he addressed all boys 17 years of age or older. Plans have been made to have the Army recruiting officer also address these boys in the near future.
During the past three months, 24 boys and girls have been placed in part-time jobs. At the present moment, some 31% of the high
-91-
school pupils are working part-time in the various business organ- izations of Southbridge. Many of these employees are temporary, but we plan to make their jobs permanent part-time school jobs if feasible.
In addition to counseling school pupils, I have been able to extend the services of the office in testing and counseling to more than 10 veterans. This number I expect will increase during the remainder of the year as our facilities become better known.
Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH B. HOYT
Director of Guidance and Placement

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
To the Superintendent of Schools:
Building upon the foundations set during the past two years, a supervisory program has been developed to include the phases of professional help listed under Itemized Activities in this report.
The testing program includes pre-school tests for children under school entrance age; classroom testing of those grades con- sidered "key grades" in our system, namely: Grade One for the foundations of reading, Grade Five for the preparation necessary to enter departmental studies in the Junior High School, and Grade Eight for entrance into High School and Trade School. Other grades are tested during the year at the request of the Principals when there is a special need for diagnosis. Individual pupils are tested continually during the year, especially those having difficulty in their studies and also those transferred from other school systems. Recommendations are made to the principals and to the Superintendent on the basis of these tests.
We are cooperating with the State Department of Education, Division of Public Health, by teaching, from the Curriculum Outline they offer, the many aspects of health education necessary for children in public schools. A Workshop Course in Health is being given to the teachers who elected to study in this area.
More effort was made during the year to assist, advise, and instruct new teachers and substitute teachers coming into the system.
Resources of educational materials, textbooks, and ideas are constantly being improved and developed.
Curriculum Outlines are continuing to be developed to meet the needs of our pupils and teachers. This is of necessity a slow process, covering several years, much study, experimentation, and many teachers' meetings. The subjects receiving study are Avia- tion, Arithmetic in the lower grades, and Social Studies in all grades.

COLE TRADE HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. Channing Greene, Supt. Southbridge Public Schools
Dear Mr. Greene:
This is a report of the activities of the Cole Trade High School for the fiscal year January 1, 1945 to December 31, 1945.
The outstanding events of the year were the action of the School Committee in changing the name of the school and department- alizing the academic and related subjects to correspond with the organization evaluation plan of regular high schools. Heretofore, the evaluation of subject material was on a clock-hour basis which was inconsistent with regular high school and college methods. The change thus permits the evaluating of a student's school work to make it convenient to apply credits earned for entrance to schools of high education.
The departmentalization of the academic and related subjects also provides for four courses of study with three diploma and one certificate awards, namely:
1. Technical High School Diploma
2. Trade High School Diploma
3. Vocational High School Diploma
4. General Vocational Certificate
The Technical High School course is a post-graduate curricu- lum open to graduates of the academic and vocational high schools.
The Trade High School course is a three-year curriculum op- erated on a part-cooperative plan and open to sophomores of the academic or vocational high schools.
The General Vocational course provides vocational training and first year high school subjects for those who wish to continue their sophomore year in one of the foregoing courses in the Cole Trade High School. It also provides short term programs of vocational training for those who expect to leave school at age sixteen. These programs are open to seventh and eighth grade students who have reached their fourteenth birthday.
The departmentalized subjects are as follows:
English, Civics, and History taught by Mr . William Delaney, M.A. Mathematics taught by Mr. William Julien, B. A. Drawing taught by Mr. John Benson
Science taught by Mr. Walter Glondek
Mr. Harold Johnson was appointed department head of Machine Shop Practice
I am pleased to report the return to our faculty of Mr. Emery Lavallee, CMM, Mr. Myron Sibley, Ml/c, and Mr. Harold Andrews, MMR2/c. They began their duties January 2, 1946. Mr. Lavallee's duties are Guidance and Placement Coordinator, including veteran counseling and supervision. Mr. Andrew's duties are instructing and supervising trainees in Interior Decorating and Painting. Mr. Sibley's duties are instructing and supervising trainees in Sheet Metal Work.

VETERAN TRAINING
There have been organized for veterans definite plans for training in occupations in the fields of commerce, trades and in- dustries, and agriculture. Many veterans have been counselled, and some of them are now in training. All training is under three general plans:
1. "On the job" training which involves full-time employment in industry and home study.
2. "Part-time Cooperative" training which is our regular co- operative course, and the award of our Trade High School diploma.
3. "Short-term Programs" to meet the specific needs of each veteran.
The "Part-time Cooperative" courses are proving to be the most popular at the present time.
Veterans in training are now distributed as follows:
On the job training 12 Part-time Cooperative training 11 Special training 2
Two veterans are getting credit for work done here towards their Academic High School Diploma from the school where they at- tended at the time of induction for military service.
EVENING TRADE EXTENSION
The demand for evening courses was light during the past year. The subjects conducted were:
Machine Shop Practice 23
Machine Drawing 12
Cabinet & Patternmaking 20
Building Construction 8
Mathematics 17
80
Seventeen of the total enrollment are veterans.
WAR BONDS & STAMPS
$4,500.85 worth of bonds and stamps were sold during the year.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
To the Superintendent of Schools:
From the opening of schools, September 5, 1945, to December 31, 1945, the Health Program consisted of the following:
The children of the elementary schools were weighed, measured for height, and given the audiometer test. The Dental Clinic was available for the first four grades. The seventh and eighth grade girls were given physical examinations by the school physician as- sisted by the school nurse. Milk lunches were furnished to the children in the grade schools as in preceding years.
Boys and girls at the Mary E. Wells High School who participated in athletics, the senior girls, and most of the junior girls were given physical examinations by the school physicians assisted by the school nurse.
Ten home visits were made. One student was referred to the Tuberculosis Clinic for examination.
