Prior to September of 1952, when interest in forming a band was first shown, there were five instruments owned by the School Department. At the present time there are sixty-two instruments. A great many of these are stringed instruments and must be used for orchestra rather than band. Many of these instruments are du- plicated, and the instrumentation is not complete for a band due to the lack of the larger and more expensive instruments. The pro- gram cannot be said to be complete.
The interest and active help I have received has been invalu- able and I am most appreciative.

ART SUPERVISOR
Mr. Bert L. Merrill Superintendent of Schools West Bridgewater, Mass.
Dear Mr. Merrill:
I am pleased to submit the annual report of the Art Depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1953.
It is the business of the Art Department to make possible for cach child a wholesome creative outlet both in school and in later life, by providing the proper tools, materials, and environment, as well as instruction in the basic art skills. As important if not more
118
than the above, is the development of good attitudes toward work and personal achievement. In these respects we are happy to report progress and confidence of continued improvement.
Our greatest handicap and perhaps our greatest help has been the introduction of an art program for the first time in the memory of most of the children. On the one hand there has been a weak- ness in the matter of skills, etc., which a continuing and unified program of training provides, but on the other we have not fallen heir to the strongly entrenched precedents and preconceptions which hamper the efforts of other school systems. Starting from a clear beginning and proceeding with caution we are providing what is most needed by the children of West Bridgewater.
In the matter of tools and materials, we have at the present time, the means to give experience in all of the important art areas on a "Basic" level. It has been one of the aims of this department to avoid over-emphasis on any art medium, in order that we give some experience in all. For instance, we do not have elaborate or expensive painting equipment but we do have the fundamental tools and are thus able to give proper attention to the graphic arts, drawing, design and other areas on the same level. We believe this to be prudent both for the education of the child and for the best use of the taxpayer's money.
As for environment, our art room is one of which to be proud. It is my belief that this feeling is shared by the children who have been most cooperative in maintaining its function and beauty. Some of our classes in the Junior High School have been too large and it is regrettable that the room has had to serve more than its intended purpose but we hope that these conditions are only temporary.
One of our chief concerns has been an intangible, the matter of attitude toward work and personal achievement. In this there are definite signs of progress. It is our hope that each child, by the time he reaches high school, will look upon personal achievement as a worthy goal and that the impetus will be the pleasure of crea- tive work rather than some ulterior reward or punishment. Toward this end we have tried to develop more and more individual initia- tive by providing problems with enough scope to invite the interest of the greatest number, and by giving enough experience and in-
119
struction to assure hope of success on the part of the student. The proper work attitude can only be developed slowly and progressively and this Spring we made a great step towards its realization by ex- tending the work of the art department to the elementary grades.
At the teachers' workshop this Spring, I had the opportunity to meet the elementary teachers and discuss their problems and ideas in the art field. At that time, it was decided what kind of pro- gram was best suited to the needs here and we have started toward the development of this part of the curriculum with every hope of successful achievement.
The one really weak point in the art program at the present moment, is our lack of material for the teaching of art history and art appreciation. For this, we require slides and reproductions enough to be comprehensive, and at the same time not superficial. We suggest that, after some study, a progressive building of these materials be initiated as soon as possible on a scale, and at a rate, which meets with your approval.
Some of the actual work done during 1953 is as follows:
Painting:
1. Water colors were introduced to each student and the fundamentals of brushwork and color mixing were taught.
2. Tempera was used in a series of problems which included an introduction to textile design and graphic technique.
3. Finger painting was given in a short series as a means of demonstrating the proper approach to a new medium.
Drawing:
1. Drawing with pencil, charcoal, chalk, crayon, and ink was offered all year as a subject in itself and in conjunction with most other work.
2. Each class was allowed at least four periods of freehand drawing including drawing from models in the classroom and out- door sketching.
120
Design:
1. Each child's work was analyzed and criticized on the basis of the clements and principles of design, and formal problems in design were assigned from time to time throughout the year.
Sculpture:
1. Each class has had at least two hours of experimentation with modeling clay.
2. One class of high school boys was given instruction in casting in the process of making model cars from plaster.
3. Classes in the eighth grade made puppet heads from paper mache.
Paper sculpture was a general problem for all classes.
Graphic Arts: (the printing process)
1. Each class devoted about four periods to the design and execution of linoleum block prints.
2. Each class devoted about four periods to the design and execution of a stenciled print.
3. Each class devoted two periods to experimentation with direct positive print paper.
We now are equipped to do silk screen painting and some members of the high school classes are busy learning this new medium.
In addition to the above, much work was done by small groups and individuals, during free time and after school, on:
1. The annual Town Report Cover (prize winner-Lawrence Boyd).
2. A large number of posters for school affairs.
3. Scenery for school plays in co-operation with the Industrial Arts Department.
4. Traffic signs for the police department.
5. Holiday decorations.
121
6. Projects in association with other departments too numcr- ous to mention.
I wish to express my sincere gratitude for your help and co-op- eration during the year as well as that given by Mr. Sperandio and the other principals, and for the splendid assistance and helpful criticism of the elementary school teachers. It is my hope that the coming year will provide the same atmosphere of fruitful co-oper- ative effort.
Sincerely yours. WILLIAM RATHBUN Supervisor of Art
Report of the West Bridgewater-Raynham School Union No. 57
The annual meeting of the West Bridgewater-Raynham Super- intendency Union #57 was held on Tuesday, April 7, 1953 at the Raynham Center School. Present were: Mr. Erland Thayer, Mr. Thomas F. Kemp and Mr. Harry Richardson of West Bridgewater; Mr. Ralph Moye and Mr. George Bellamy, Jr., of Raynham, and Mr. Bert L. Merrill, Superintendent of Schools.
Mr. Thayer was re-elected Chairman and Mr. Bellamy was re- elected Secretary of the joint committee.
Discussion followed on the Superintendent's annual report. The supplementary report was then voted to be accepted as amended.
It was stated that the Civil Defense Directors for Raynham and West Bridgewater were inactive. Mr. Merrill suggested that a teacher representative be selected from each town to see what could be done for the safety of all children in case of an air raid. A motion was made and carried that a member of the faculty from cach town be appointed to a committee to investigate school organizations in regards to civil defense and to report to the Superintendent with- in ninety days.
122
Discussion followed on the positions of Superintendent of Schools, School Nurse and Superintendent's Secretary.
Mr. Merrill was then re-elected for a term of three years.
Mrs. Lillian Hewitt was re-elected as School Nurse for an- other year.
Miss Mildred Hagglund, Superintendent's Secretary, was re- elected for a year's term.

THE BOOSTERS' CLUB
The activities of the Boosters' Club during 1953 included the customary functions of assisting at all football and basketball games. operating the refreshment booth, and giving a year-end banquet and dance for all pupils who were awarded their letters, and the cheerleaders.
\ basketball game between the Police and Boosters was played. which provided the Club with funds and entertainment for those who attended. It is hoped that we can make this an annual affair.
The Club presented a school banner to the High School and a badly needed clarinet for the school band.
The Boosters completed the project of outfitting the Junior High School football team by supplying football shoes.
123
The Club sponsored a Thanksgiving Day football game dance and invited our rivals East Bridgewater.
Early in the year the club received the resignation of chairman Earle Gifford, the original founder of the Boosters' Club. We ac- cepted the resignation with deep regret. George Noonan was sub- sequently elected chairman.
The Boosters' Club again wishes to take this opportunity to thank all who have cooperated to make this program a success.
Respectfully submitted, BOOSTERS' CLUB
