Sewing is elective in the High School and the girls have done more advanced sewing, such as afternoon and evening dresses and suits.

Report of the Art Supervisor
To the School Committee and Citizens of the Town of Pepperell:
The objectives of art education have changed a great deal in the past years. Keeping in step with the modern trends, I am trying to do the following:
At the elementary level (First through sixth grades)
85
the child is given the opportunity to express his own ideas in his own way. Their expressions or drawings are judged, not by adult standards of perfection, as in the past, but by the child-likeness of the picture and the individual growth of the child. The child is not shown "how to draw" in the static way of the past. He is given the chance to think for himself and learn through his own observations. This way he does not become dependent on others.
At the Junior High level the creative work of the elementary level is continued. Because this may be the last time the student has the opportunity to work with art materials, it is best to give him many different materials to create with. Examples of these are: block-printing, stenciling, poster work, charcoal and others. I hope in the future to be able to give the students in Pepperell many of these materials to work with. However, because of the lack of materials at the present time, it has not been possi- ble.
Respectfully submitted,
JOAN LITTLEHALE, Art Supervisor.

Report of the Music Supervisor
During the past year noticeable progress has been made in the music programs at the Shattuck School and at the Groton Street School. I believe that love of music is a spiritual and social asset which should increase with age. In keeping with this principle, the Grade School Teachers and I, have endeavored to create in each pupil a love of music which will increase with the years.
New and more attractive singing books have been procured and are in use in both second grades, taught by Mrs. Helen Whalon and Mrs. Mildred Milroy. These books
86
are also in use in the combination third and fourth grade at the Shattuck School, taught by Mrs. Agnes Grainger. This series of books will be completed through the sixth grade within a year or two, depending upon the funds allotted for that purpose.
Classes in Tonettes were organized in October, in the third and fourth grades of both schools. These classes should aid the pupils in reading music and I expect to have a Tonette band perform sometime in the latter part of this school year.
Music appreciation in both schools is seriously handi- capped by lack of materials. The Groton Street School does not have a record player, nor a record library. The Shattuck School has one stationary record player and a very small and inappropriate record library.
Since neither school has an auditorium, it is impossible to adequately present a production. The situation is re- grettable because the participation in such productions is essential for the musical experience of every school child. We have presented a few small programs in observance of holidays in both schools, and the annual Mother's Club Program, at the Groton Street School.
In April the pupils of the Junior High School supple- mented by few of the Senior High School boys presented a very successful Operetta, "Rose of the Danube." The Junior High, the Girls, and the Mixed Glee Clubs have per- formed at various assemblies throughout the year. In Feb- ruary the Girls Glee Club sang for the Women's Club and in December they presented a fifteen minute program through the facilities of radio station WOTW, Nashua. The three Glee Clubs participated in a successful Christ- mas Concert on December twenty-second.
Last spring several used instruments were purchased by the School Department. When these are repaired they will form the nucleus of a High School Band.
The High School is in dire need of another piano which should be placed in one of the classrooms. This need arises
87
from the conflict between music rehearsals and basketball practice: the one piano we have is located in the combina- tion auditorium and gymnasium.
I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the Superin- tendent of Schools, Mr. Herbert H. Archibald, the Prin- cipals with whom I have worked for the past year, Miss Beth Dwyer, Messrs. Trescott Abele, Carlton Burney, and Robert Patch, and to all the grade teachers for their splendid co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
PATRICE MEEHAN, Music Supervisor.
Report of the School Nurse
Mr. Herbert H. Archibald Superintendent of Schools
I hereby submit my report of school nursing service for the year 1949.
Early in January the Massachusetts State Department loaned us their audiometer and I tested the ears of five hundred seventy pupils. Seven were found to have hearing loss sufficient to require treatment. Written notices were sent to the parents of these children and they were taken to their family doctor, or an ear specialist or to Eye and Ear Infirmary.
During February, three cases of scarlet fever were reported. Two were of pre-school age and one of school age.
Northern Worcester Seal Sale office was contacted and request for X-rays of High School pupils made, also Dr. A. Pope contacted in regard to same. Request not granted.
88
During March the toxoid clinic for immunization against diphtheria was held at the High School. Dr. Por- ter, myself, Mrs. James Lynch and four Nursing Board members conducted the work. One hundred thirty children were given treatment. Of these, seventy-eight were booster shots, while fifty-two new patients were immun- ized. Many of the younger children were given the triple, that is immunization against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus. On April 12th and May 12th respectively, the second and third treatments were administered. This clinic was held under the auspices of the Board of Health.
Due to the high percentage of dental defects, it seemed advisable to have a dental survey. This met with the ap- proval of the School Committee. The services of Dr. Ray MacIntosh of Nashua, were obtained. On April 7th the elementary schools were done; 268 children were examined, 198 required dental work, 70 were under treatment or re- quired none. May 5th the Junior and Senior High Schools were examined. Of 277 pupils, 102 needed attention, 34 were under treatment and 141 required no treatment. Notices were sent to the parents.
As a result of the survey, it seemed advisable to estab- lish a dental clinic as part of the school program. A com- mittee was appointed to make a study of the clinics estab- lished throughout the state and the approximate cost of the same. Dr. Herlihy of the State Dental Department was contacted and he was most helpful. A great deal of time and effort was spent by this committee and they should be commended for their work and interest in such a worthy project.
One suggestion was that we buy a portable army sur- plus dental unit which could be set up in each school build- ing as needed. For various reasons this did not prove adequate. At a Special Town Meeting in September it was voted to use $2,000.00 for establishing a dental clinic in school. Because of the over crowded conditions and con- sequent lack of space, the work has not been completed.
In June, the pre-school clinic was held at the High School, sponsored by the District Nursing Association. Miss
89
Almeda King, State Nutritionist, gave a demonstration of powdered milk and instructed mothers about diet. Two members of the Nursing Committee assisted with records and transportation. Dr. Porter gave the children a physical examination and vaccinated any child upon request. Many of the defects found were corrected before school opened in September.
During the summer months, follow-up visits were made to the homes of children requiring correction. The kindness received from the Salvation Army furnishing funds to help pay for tonsil operations was greatly appre- ciated. Appointments were made for children with ortho- pedic and speech defects at the Lowell clinics, also those re- quiring child guidance. Appointments to rheumatic fever clinics were also made.
The annual physical examinations of elementary school pupils, by Dr. Porter, have been completed. Written notices of any defects found were sent to the parents. The High School athletes were also examined.
During September, the Massachusetts State Depart- ment vision machine was loaned us and the teachers tested the eyes of all pupils. I wrote out notices for eighty-one pupils-forty-eight of these were from the High School, twenty-one from the Shattuck School, and twelve from Gro- ton Street School. Many of the grammar school pupils have been fitted to glasses. Several home visits were made.
In October, the State owned audiometer was loaned to us and I tested the ears of all pupils. The first and sec- ond grades were given individual tests, while the others were done in groups of forty. Those failing the first test were retested in a group and if they failed again, were given individual tests. Four of the children who failed in January were much improved due to treatment received. Notices were sent to the parents of those failing and most pupils have been seen by a doctor.
Home visits to the physically handicapped children were made and histories filled out.
90
Patch test was done on several children at the request of their family doctor and appointments for X-rays made at Waltham as requested.
First aid was given whenever required and sick chil- dren were taken home.
I have received splendid co-operation from the school department and wish to thank them all.
Respectfully submitted,
ELLEN E. DEE, R. N.
