ANNUAL REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Southbridge:
Gentlemen:
I have the pleasure of presenting to you, and through you to the Citizens of the Town, my third annual report which is the sixty-second in the series of reports issued by the superin- tendents of the public schools of the town.
Enrollment Trends
Increase in school enrollment has not been as alarming as it has been in many other towns. School population in a neigh- boring community, for instance, has increased by several hun- dred each year for many years. In Southbridge our numbers have increased steadily at the rate of fifty to sixty each year, and the growth will continue at about the same rate during the years for which predictions may be made at this time. It may seem that fifty is a relatively small increase in a total enroll- ment of about two thousand, but, from an administrative point of view, the increase is the equivalent of about two classrooms.
A concrete example of the effect that this steady growth has upon school planning will be in evidence at the West Street School on next September. Two fourth grades, one from Pleas- ant Street School and one from West Street School, totaling sixty-five pupils, would enter the fifth grade at West Street School under normal conditions. There is, however, but one room available to them because at that school we shall have a double sixth grade and a double seventh grade. We shall have to place as large a number as possible, forty probably, in the room at the West Street School and transport the other twenty- five to other schools in town. The criteria used for the assign- ment of pupils to other schools are these: Those who live near enough to Marcy Street School shall be sent there even though Marcy Street School has thirty-two in its fourth grade this year and will be able to take no more than eight in its fifth grade next year. Since bus pupils have to be transported any- way, they will be transferred to other schools. If, by these methods, there are still too many in the fifth grade at the West Street School, a taxi service to Charlton Street or Eastford Road Schools will have to be instituted. This is but one of sev- eral similar problems which beset us in the elementary schools at the present time and which will become more harassing as the years unfold.
At the secondary level we have a situation which may be tolerable for another year. Including the eighth grade, there are 613 pupils in the Mary E. Wells High School building this year. The first indication of overcrowding has become appar- ent. During one of the class periods, a class in an academic subject must meet in the Household Arts Laboratory because
10
- -

1
no regular classroom is available. There are ninety-six in the Senior class and by some strange statistical quirk only 137 in the seventh grades of the town. Therefore the increase in the number of pupils in the high school building will be disturbing but not alarming next year. But with 150 in the sixth grades and an average of 200 in grades three, four, and five, no imagina- tion is required to foretell what must happen in September of 1959. The eighth grade must leave the high school building. Its destination, at that time, is uncertain.
Projects
The administrative guide, a book containing all the rules and regulations controlling principals, supervisors, teachers, and janitors, was published during the summer. It was the result of a two-year study on the part of the principals, and it is an extremely valuable document in that it serves to create common administrative practices throughout the system. With it as a guide, a comparison of policies between two schools within the community should no longer exist.
Another study of equal length on the part of all elementary school teachers resulted in the publishing of a curriculum guide for the elementary schools of the town. It is a volume of more than two hundred pages and contains, step by step, subject by subject, grade by grade, the elementary courses which are a part of the curriculum in grades one through eight.
The chief purposes of this project were:
1. To establish goals towards which every teacher shall work, contributing through her teaching and guidance to a planned total education of the children under her supervision.
2. To unify courses of study. A pupil moving from a third grade in one school to a third grade in another should have little trouble in making the adjustment.
3. To facilitate the entrance of a new teacher into our system.
4. To avoid unnecessary duplication in subject matter.
5. To propose such changes in textbooks and other in- structional material as may seem advisable.
6. To have, in written form, a planned educational pro- gram for our elementary schools. When this is not available, there is apt to be confusion.
The title of the book is "Elementary Schools Curriculum Guide." The word, "Guide," in the title is the key to its value. It should be considered a source of help, a tool to better instruc- tion, and a means of coordinating the efforts of all who partici- pate in the elementary school education of the youth of our community. There must be elasticity to any worthwhile pro- gram, and the opportunity for a teacher to use initiative should always be encouraged. These courses of study are the core of
11
learning, but there is much more to modern education than can be placed between the covers of a book. In many interesting ways, according to her ability and personality, each teacher will add immeasurably to the hard, cold statements in the guide, breathing life and meaning into our educational program.
Planning for the Future
At the annual town meeting in March, a school building expansion proposal will be placed before the voters for approv- al. The proposal calls for the acquisition of a plot of land some forty acres in area and for the building of a high school, a trade school, and common facilities for cafeteria, assembly, athletics, and physical education. If the proposal is accepted, the present Cole Trade High School building will be converted into an elementary school of seven rooms, and the Mary E. Wells High School building will accommodate pupils of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. The Marcy Street and Mechanic Street School buildings will be abandoned; the other elementary schools will be used for kindergarten, and grades one through five.
If the recommendations of the School Building Planning Committee are adopted, within two years not only will there be adequate space for the foreseeable future but also, quite suddenly for such a tremendous change, Southbridge will have a department of education which will be modern in every res- pect. Facilities which are available to high school students in most towns of our state now, will then be a part of our educa- tional program.
The cost is great but the rewards are immeasurable. The consummation of the project will bring educational oppor- tunities to the high school students of Southbridge equal to those of young people in neighboring towns. There will be a school library, complete facilities for the teaching of science of physical education, music, art, and the trades. There will be enough room in the elementary schools to create some of the special areas which are now a part of grade school work. There will be segregation according to age, and this element is a desir- able one wherever it can be accomplished.
The Southbridge School Committee and the Southbridge School Building Planning Committee are in complete accord that this propsal is the best plan of school building expansion for Southbridge. This plan has grown out of a two-year study both by them and by their predecessors, the Citizens Committee for Better Schools. They who have worked so long and dili- gently on this project ask only that every citizen in Southbridge investigate the proposal completely so that he may know from his own experience all the elements of the plan. The School Building Planning Committee, headed by Mr. George Metras, stands ready and eager to meet with any group and submit to
12
any questions concerning the proposed new school and changes in the system allied to it.
Conclusion.
The success or failure of a Superintendent of Schools is largely dependent upon the attitudes, the cooperation, and the achievements of those with whom he labors. If this past year has been a good one, and I think it has been a year of progress, I would extend a word of appreciation to a hard-working, loyal corps of principals, teachers, supervisors, secretaries, and cus- todians; to a school committee which has met every problem with open mind and has accepted responsibilities with un- swerving directness; to about two thousand friendly, coopera- tive young people who are a school's reason for being.
MARY E. WELLS HIGH SCHOOL DR. JAMES M. ROBERTSON, Principal

Junior Red Cross
The Junior Red Cross is a service organization. This group, under the able direction of Miss Luise Corbin, gives cheer and aid to the destitute, the ill, and the unfortunate.
The work of the group with the veterans supplements the tremendous task carried on by local, state, and national pa- triotic groups.
The work of the Junior Red Cross, however, is not con- fined to local problems. Cognizant of the needs of many of our overseas allies, they have filled chests full of supplies that will take care of a school of forty-eight pupils for a period of one year. Each chest costs one hundred dollars to fill. The Mary E. Wells Chapter of the Junior Red Cross has sent chests to Hungary.
Guidance Department
The work of the Guidance Department will be covered in the report of the Guidance Director, Mr. Sven Rosengren.
The Commercial Course
The commercial program includes: typewriting, book- keeping, comptometry, filing, office practice, and all general business courses. The cooperative program with industry is still in operation. The course takes place in the last semester of the senior year and permits pupils to alternate work weeks with instruction weeks. The students, four units of them, take places in reliable business institutions and have found this program most beneficial.
The equipment of the Commercial Department is kept at maximum efficiency.
The College Preparatory Course
The college preparatory course prepares students for all leading universities and colleges in the country. Many of the pupils receive large scholarships, a tribute to their own in- dustry and a tribute to the excellent instruction of their teach- ers. Students from this course have entered such leading in- stitutions as the following: Cornell, Connecticut College for Women, Brown University, The College of the Holy Cross, Tufts, Dartmouth, University of Massachusetts, Boston Univer- sity, University of Michigan, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Clark University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Massachu- setts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Smith College, Mount Holyoke, Welles- ley College, Simmons College, Columbia University, University
15
of Connecticut, University of New Hampshire, Williams Col- lege, Colorado College, Ohio State University, The College of New Rochelle, California Institute of Technology, Georgia In- stitute of Technology, Pennsylvania State College, Northeastern University, Westminster College, Bates, Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, Colby, plus most of the leading business colleges, and nursing schools.
The Eighth Grades
The eighth grades of the school system are still housed in the high school building. This year it has been necessary, be- cause of increased enrollment, to have five eighth grade home rooms. The pupils receive the program opportunities of the high school, and they are eligible for all high-school activities, including sports.
Student Council Activities
The Student Council of the Mary E. Wells High School plays an important part between students and administration. This organization is under the direction of Miss Rose Brodeur. The values of the organization are manifold.
1. Pupils participate in or manage extracurricular affairs.
2. Responsibility, initiative, and leadership are developed.
3. Proper Student-Faculty relations are promoted.
4. Training in worthy citizenship is furnished.
5. The general welfare of the school is promoted.
6. The internal administration of the school is aided.
The Fred E. Corbin Chapter of the National Honor Society
The local chapter of the National Honor Society, named in honor of the late Mr. Fred E. Corbin, inducted twenty-six mem- bers during the past year. The most recent induction was hon- ored by the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. George Sellig, who spoke at the ceremonies.
The following young people have been inducted into the society during the past year:

Assemblies
Assemblies are held every other week. These assemblies are of immense value to any student body inasmuch as they are not only educational but explore the various phases of school life. Furthermore, they widen and deepen the interest of the pupils and serve as a means of developing public opinion and appreciation. The types of assemblies fall into many cate- gories, such as:
1. Education
2. Music
3. Rallies
4. Drama
5. Club Programs
6. Movies
7. Entertainment
8. Honor Society Installation
9. Science
10. Commerce and Business
11. Observance of Special Days
12. Guidance
