It speaks well for the new teachers that the work on the whole is progressing satisfactorily. The report of the High School Principal follows this report and sets forth clearly conditions and needs of the High school.
It is the wish of the writer that parents would visit the schools and become acquainted with the teachers. A large percentage of our Grade teachers are not residents of West Bridgewater even during the week. The only opportunity for parents and teachers to get together is in the school room. Acquaintance prevents misunderstandings and enables both parents and teachers to see the viewpoint of sach other. It is manifestly unfair to condemn a teacher without a fair and impartial hearing. Your superintendent would regard it as a personal favor if people making complaints would give their names. To investigate anonymous complaints is a very try- ing task and one from which no permanent good can result.
In closing, let me thank the members of the teaching force, the members of the School Committee, and the citizens in general for their co-operation and support.
Respectfully submitted, THOMAS E. GAY,
Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
Mr. Thomas E. Gay, Superintendent of Schools :
There are three things I wish to emphasize in this report. First, the rapid growth of the school ; second, its present activities and organizations ; and third, a few needs for its future growth and influence.
The Howard High School has a total enrollment this year of 141, as compared with 126 last year, and about 110 in 1918-1919. The grouping by classes is as follows :
Seniors,
17
Juniors,
33
Sophomores,
49
Freshmen, 42
Total,
141
Of this number we have lost 8 pupils, owing to the re- moval of their families to other towns, making our actual number of pupils 133, as compared with 116 last year. As the present eighth grade numbers about 40, we can expect a school of over 150 next year. Owing to the foresight of the school authorities, we are well able to take care of the pres- ent numbers.
In order to conform to new state requirements, the course of study was revised last summer. American History and Civics is now required of all seniors. All the classes are held five periods per week. The same four courses are off- ered-General, Commercial, College and Technical. Four years of English, Community Civics during first year, and the above mentioned History are required in all courses. Aside from these, there is considerable choice of subjects in all courses, making it possible for a pupil to elect the range
IO
of studies suited to his needs. Following is the distribution of the student body of courses :
GENERAL
COMMERCIAL
COLLEGE
TECHNICAL

In my opinion the most significant feature of the school is the growth of the Commercial Department. There are now two teachers who devote all their time to commercial subjects. We now have two rooms well equipped for this work, one containing twenty book-keeping desks, the other sixteen. A partition has been built in the second room pro- viding a separate compartment for typewriting, and making it possible for classes in shorthand to work at the same time. Our eight typewriters are in constant use every period of the day. A Neostyle has recently been added, which is a great help to the department, and serves the whole school. Ex- amination papers, etc., are run off on this machine, and form letters for organizations both within and outside the school.
The student activities worthy of commendation are the School Paper and the Athletic Teams. It is not very easy this year, owing to financial conditions, to maintain a school paper. The staff of the "Climber" and the whole student body are to be congratulated on co-operating to produce a good school paper that is paying expenses.
The High School has always been noted for its good teams and clean sportsmanship. The Girls' Basketball Team, under Miss Turner's coaching, is at least as good as last year's team, which is all that need be said. The members of last year's Boys Basketball Team were all lost by gradua-
tion, except one. Coach Lawson has the problem of making an entirely new team this year. If this is taken into con- sideration, the showing of the team is very creditable. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the people of the town for the generous support they are giving to Howard High School athletics.
I should like to mention a few things that in my opinion will help us to do more efficient work next year. There should be courses given in freehand and mechanical drawing. There is in the building a considerable amount of domestic science equipment, which I hope can be put into use next year. There is no suitable place to put our reference and reading books. I recommend that the ante-room to room No. 4 be fitted up for a school library. If lighting fixtures and additional desks can be had for room No. 5, a distinct saving in time and energy would result from using it as the study hall instead of the corresponding room on the first floor. We also need more equipment and apparatus for the laboratory.
Whatever of success we are having in the High School is due to the spirit of the student body, the loyalty and co-oper- ation of the faculty, and the help given by the Superinten- dent, Board of Trustees and School Committee. I wish to thank the teachers for their fine spirit and loyalty. May I add that when the personnel of a teaching force changes a distinct loss is apt to strike the entire system until the new personnel can acquaint itself with conditions. Therefore, I hope that the High School may be able to keep as much of its teaching force as possible for some time.
Respectfully submitted,
STUART R. RACE,
Principal.

CLASS ODE Mildred Louise Lang
(Tune: "When You and I were Young, Maggie.")
Four years we have travelled together On the highroad to learning and power. Now we're nearing the end of the highway; We are come to the parting hour. With the training we've had here together, We must each go his own separate way; No more will we all be united In our studies, our work, and our play.
CHORUS:
We will always remember old Howard, We'll remember her teachers sincere; We will never forget all her precepts; We'll uphold her honor, most dear.
There's a sad, plaintive note at the parting, But the bright light of hope cheers us on With a prayer for each one for the future, And sweet memories of days that are gone. We are strong in the knowledge we've gained here; With high purpose we'll work out life's plan, Always strive for the highest and noblest, To attain the full measure of man.
