Any success I may have with the Eastham children is due to the help I receive from the faculty. Mr. Otto Nicker- son and his small but efficient group make a supervisors job a pleasant experience.
REPORT OF THE INSTRUMENTAL TEACHER
Frederick A. Gricius
At present there are twenty-one boys and girls being taught various band and orchestral instruments. The teach- er-health room, the principal's office and cafeteria are being utilized to give instrumental instruction.
The following is a list of instruments taught: seven trumpets, five violins, three clarinets, two mellaphones, one saxophone, baritone horn, trombone, and snare drum.
Every music teacher works and strives for a balance instrumentation as his personal goal and ideal in attaining a desired tonal affect. A new flute and cello to be bought
121
for the elementary school will serve to improve this tonal balance greatly.
Elementary orchestra rehearsals will be delayed until the new addition is completed and ready for occupancy. Plans for storage space including shelves and lockers to house the musical instruments, equipment and books should be provided to eliminate any possibility of damage after re- hearsal time and during the summer months.
Rhythm Band is being conducted in grades one and two with supervisory work in grade two. Miss Loraine Hayes is doing a commendable job in this work having had no pre- vious training. Rhythm Band records, listening records, have been purchased for the lower and upper grades. Mr. Na- than Weber has willingly given his time in constructing shelves to house the records.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF VOCAL MUSIC Webster Whitney Tileston
The aim of Music Instruction as I see it is to cause child- ren to know, to love, and to understand Music in as many forms as possible and thus to bring added joy into their lives and added culture and refinement into their nature.
With this aim as the criterion for my personal instruc- tion and general supervision, I feel I can help music reach its goal more quickly ; make my job more pleasant and gain greater cooperation from administration and community alike. Further more, I am helping to clarify what a Dr. Wil- lis, Superintendent of Schools of Chicago, stated in his ad- dress at the Music Educator's National Convention; that administrators were not so interested in "Whats Good Mu- sic", as much as "What Music is Good For".
I feel that like the administrators, the school boards who vote the financial support to the music department and
122
the parents who must invest in their childs musical training are also extremely interested in having that same informa- tion, and the more all people are made aware of the func- tional value of music education, the sooner music will reach its goal and be made available to more and more pupils.
Each Eastham grade (even though I only have 30 min- utes per class visit once a week) is having the best opportun- ity yet, thanks to the co-operation of Mr. Hoyt, Mr. Nick- erson and the teachers, for self expression through group ac- tivity and thus is obtaining an opportunity to acquire self assurance, personal security and respect for the achieve- ments of others. The music is developing moral and spirit- ual values that satisfy the aesthetic needs and is offering to .each boy and girl a way to make direct contributions to the community during their school days and thus acquire a consciousness of the individual's responsibility to the com- munity.
Due mainly to the seventh and eighth grades having been transferred to the Orleans High School, we didn't have the number of performances for the public that we had had in previous years but once the new addition to the school is finished, the beautiful, large auditorium should be the seat of many a fine concert.
It might be worth mentioning that in all our music festivals for the older students in High School, that East- ham students were represented for the Union Festival, the Cape and Island Festivals and the New England Festival. Their participation made me very proud and I'm looking forward to getting still more into our 1955 Festivals.
These little points have helped to show what "Music is Good For". Here on the Cape particularly we are trying to carry out something that I recall from Plato's Republic where music was a part of the education of every Greek citi- zen even two thousand years ago: "Gymnastics for the Body and Music for the Soul".
123
So, in conclusion, I feel, and hope every one does, that vocal music-from Grades 1 through 6 (and later up at the Orleans High School) has definitely continued its strides forward and I shall keep on with my beliefs that singing fortifies health, widens culture, refines the intelligence, en- riches the imagination, makes for happiness, and endows life with an added zest.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
Edith Adler, R. N.
I am delighted to be serving as your school nurse. I've been here for just four weeks, and have found a healthy group of children and a cooperative faculty. Now I am looking forward to working with the parents, in order that. we, together, may maintain the present good standard of health in our school.
I relieved Mrs. Jean Putnam, R.N., your former school nurse, the later part of October. She reports that the Mass. Vision Tests were completed in the Spring and failures re- ported to the parents. Mrs. Putnam also completed the hear- ing tests, and is happy to report that there were no failures.
Dr. Dickson is now in the process of carefully examin- ing the teeth of each child whose parents requested dental care to be given. Most all dental treatment Dr. Dickson finds necessary can be completed, with possible exceptions re- quiring x-ray diagnosis. When those cases are discovered the parents are being advised. The children have responded with enthusiasm and a remarkable amount of cooperation. In time, it is planned, that each child receive adequate dental care.
Dr. Fred Moore, the County Health Officer, will admin- ister injections for the immunization against tetanus and
124
diphtheria to the 1st and 4th grade children having permis- sion slips from their parents. It is hoped all parents will take advantage of this program.
Routine physical examinations of all children will be done by Dr. Komp shortly and results compared to previous years.
I want to take this time to thank Mr. Nickerson, Mr. Hoyt, Miss Susich, and the teachers for their warm wel- come and cooperation.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION REPORT
Eastham Elementary School
October, November, December
GROUP GAMES
The fifth and sixth grades worked together in all the Physical Education periods. When the weather permitted we had outdoor activities. During the teaching of Group Games, the rules were explained before taking to the field. Bat Ball and Kick Ball was played with boys and girls together. For Soccer the boys were taken out in one group and the girls in a separate group to play Team Dodge Ball, Spot Dodge Ball or Three Deep. We emphasized Good Sportsmanship, Skill, Leadership, and Fun.
TUMBLING
Our second emphasis in Physical Education was on Tumbling. The boys are a very skillful group and could support a good Tumbling Team. The activities included : forward roll, backward roll, diving roll, cartwheel, round-
125
off, head stand, and three boys mastered a flip. We worked on timing, coordination with an eye to Safety and Per- fection. This activity was carried to the home to the delight of some of the parents.
In the beginning the girls were a little more reluctant to try. Some would not try at all. By the second lesson all but one entered in. The girls succeeded in doing forward roll, backward roll, some did very good cartwheels. A few mas- tered a good head stand. The enthusiastic reception of the tumbling program indicates that in this age group, for next year, a more and varied program along this line would be most welcome.
DANCING
During December our program changed to the intro- duction of Dancing. Before teaching any forms, the courtesy of the floor was discussed. By example, the boys were taught how to ask a lady to dance. We also talked about how to conduct themselves on the dance floor. Activities included Waltz, Square Dancing and Novelty Dances. We started with the waltz square, how many beats of music to a mea- sure, where our feet were supposed to be on each beat of the measure. From the square we learned how to turn around and then how to progress around the room. Inter- spersed with waltz lesson we reviewed Square Dance posi- tions : The Square Dance swing, Promenade, Grand Right and Left. We tied this all together with a dance called, "Barnacle Bill". "Pop Goes The Weasel" and the "Vir- ginia Reel" have not been taught as yet. For Novelty work we learned "Mexican Hat Dance", Bunny Hop, Bingo, and the Hokey Pokey.
In the Third and Fourth grades our program had to be more elastic. The fourth grade was included in all the out- door activities of the fifth and sixth because we had room for them. At this time the third grade was taken to the
126
field as one class. We played games of lower organization such as "Circle Kick Ball," Tag Games and Relays. In the third game we reviewed the Singing Games from the lower grades.
Both grades worked in the Lunch Room on Tumbling. Their activities included : forward roll, backward roll, cart- wheel, roundoff, head flip. This was a very active group.
Through the cooperation of Mrs. Macomber, we were able to change rooms and the third and fourth grades en- gaged in Square Dancing, Round Dancing and some Novelty Dancing. We are very proud of this class because they have advanced so quickly.
The second grade shows a great capacity for all forms of activity. The program was very successful here. We brought the Tumbling mats into the room and carried on from there. They learned the forward roll, backward roll, cartwheel, and some learned headstands.
This class has an excellent background in Dancing and Singing Games. We learned "Sleeping Princess, a story play; Folk Dancing, Shoemakers Dance, Danish Dance of Greeting. For games we played "Little Sally Water", "Farmer in the Dell", and "In and Out the Windows".
The first grade was a joy to work with. At first we re- viewed Singing Games like "Farmer in the Dell", "Go In and Out the Windows", "Sally Over the Water", and found that they knew them well. We went on to learn little dances. For new work I taught. "Jump, Jim Crow", the first time in a first grade. Also "Clap, Clap, Bow", and "How Do You Do My Partner". They did an excellent job.
For Tumbling the program was the same as the second grade.
127
To our first grade work we added Memetic, which is important to this age group. We enjoyed being tigers, ele- phants, rabbits, monkeys and kangeroos. To the actions we added the sounds which made for much fun.
Our out-of-doors activities were spent in learning how to catch and pass a ball. These classes ended up with a simple game of Spot Dodge Ball.
