A part of the old assembly room downstairs still remains unused except for special art lessons and for after-school scout meetings. It still looks like a fair place for the begin- nings of our own Eastham Kindergarten!
A new arithmetic course, "Growth in Arithmetic", is being successfully used for the first time throughout all the grades. Teachers' courses are being very generally taken : The Measurements Course at Provincetown last winter ; The Adolescent Child at Harwich in the spring ; Summer Educa- tional Courses at Hyannis ; Elementary Science at Harwich this fall; and promise of an English workshop in the spring.
We feel flattered indeed to have Mr. Pierce and his efficient staff remain in our modest building and setting, when they could be enjoying the tempting Grecian marble halls, the colored Roman baths, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylonia !

REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR
In the past three years we have made great progress with the art program in all of the schools in Orleans, East- ham, and Wellfleet. Now, we have a new area for emphasis, the Nauset Regional High School. Our basic program is strong but, we need more time at the upper levels to be ef- fective. To explain this need, we must outline the situation as it exists and attempt to recommend a solution.
During the previous school year the Art program has continued to provide a basic background in the various art mediums and methods at all levels. In the towns of Orleans, Eastham, and Wellfleet, the elementary schools are sup- plied with a fine quality and a good quantity of art mater- ials. In the past, it has been the policy for the art person to teach each class from grade one through grade eight once a week. The total number of classes in the grade schools and in the Junior High School levels is twenty seven. Then, there are two special classes and two elective high school classes. Outside of formal class teaching, art consultant service is available at all levels from the elementary level through the high school level. Now, when we look at the actual art teaching load, we find this load is heavier than the national class teaching average. In fact, it leaves no time for supervision. Then, at the Nauset Regional High School, we find that only forty five minutes once each week is al- loted to each of the two art classes. These classes should be lengthened into double periods. Also, they should be made available to more students.
This situation is a result of a growing school population and an increased interest in arts and crafts. The art classes are increasing at both rounds of the educational ladder. As a result, a clear and definite need arises. This need can only
165
be fulfilled by the addition to the staff of another art person.
The addition of another art person would make it pos- sible for all of our children to receive closer individual attention. There would be one person to care for the art needs on the elementary schools and one person to direct the art activities at the Nauset Regional High School. In this way, the foundation stones could be laid toward the proposition that art will become a major subject in the curriculum of the schools. This is not a new or novel idea for arts and crafts have been recoginized for many years in their full roles in many states and educational circles throughout the nation. In addition, the need today is of great importance, for the accent on science cries for a bal- ance in the fine arts. Let us not neglect the beautiful, enio- tional, and spiritual world for the cold, factual, and pessi- mistic world of thought that is coming to the fore as a result of world conflict and competition in political philo- sophies. Art is not a fad. Art is living.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
I hereby submit my third annual report as Supervisor of Instrumental Music in the School of Eastham.
"Shall we purchase for our child a musical instrument ?"
This question which involves the spending. in most cases of over one hundred dollars, is asked by many parents
166
after having rented (but temporarily loaned to deserving students) for a period of at least three months. The answer in most cases is "yes", but unfortunately sometimes the answer is - "not yet". The factors which prompts these answers, in all cases, are :
1. Has the student musical talent ?
2. Does the student show sincere enthusiasm ?
3. How far has the student advanced on the instru- ment
The answers to the last two questions many times is determined by the amount of instruction, enthusiasm and encouragement the student receives at home. It must be remembered that at the present time the student receives about one half hour of supervised class instruction per week. The amount of progress made between these instruction periods is determined by the amount of instruction he re- ceives elsewhere. Unfortunately many parents and family members are not qualified to help the student. Lack of knowledge and the lack of enthusiasm, many times, go hand in-hand.
In the ideal elementary instrumental music program the students are daily supervised in class instruction and practice sessions. During these supervised periods the stu- dent is always encouraged by those around him who not only are sharing the same problems but also are sharing the same enthusiasm.
To achieve this ideal situation would mean the addition of an assistant at the elementary level. If this were to hap- pen I sincerely believe that the answers to the above ques- tions could then be an honest and competent opinion prompt- ed only by the students musical talent and aptitude and not merely by the lack of enough instruction and en- thusiasm.
167
In conclusion once again I wish to express my most sincere appreciation for the cooperation received from the Superintendent of Schools, the Principals of the schools, the Supervisor of Elementary Education, parents and pupils.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF VOCAL MUSIC
Once again I am pleased to report on the progress of the vocal music program.
On the elementary level new equipment is arriving to add enrichment to the regular classroom work. At the Orleans and Eastham Elementary Schools the acquisition of basal texts and recordings to accompany the texts are complete for the primary grades. In addition monthly sub- scriptions for each pupil in two upper grades to the excel- lent music appreciation magazine, Young Keyboard, Jr., and recording to supplement the material covered have been secured. It is hoped that texts and record albums for the intermediate grades will be supplied as budgets permit. The Eastham School has been enjoying new rhythm in- struments, song bells, and an autoharp as well. The Well- fleet School has record albums for the first grade text ac- quired last year.
A voluntary course in class piano has been established at the Orleans Elementary School to include stimulation of creative musical ability and instruction in the use of
168
the keyboard, in the elements of theory, and in sight read- ing. At present the enrollment of twenty pupils is divided into two sections. Besides supplementing private music lessons, this course gives parents the opportunity to discover how the child takes to music before incurring the expense of private instruction.
The intermediate grades from each town have com- bined to hear informal and informative concerts by differ- ent instrumental ensembles from New York. Last spring there was a brass quintet, and this fall there was a percus- sion trio. Each group has told about the instruments played, explained the selections performed, and given the children the opportunity to play the instruments, to the immense delight of the individuals concerned.
Six junior high divisions, the Chorus, and the special class use the excellent new music hall at Nauset Regional High School for music classes and rehearsals; one music class and the Glee Club, because of schedule conflicts, are unable to benefit from the fine acoustics and pleasant en- vironment. The junior high pupils have individual sub- scriptions to Keyboard, Jr., a monthly music appreciation magazine, and there are recordings to supplement these. The basal texts include those from Ginn and Company and from Follette Publishing Company. Reference books for the use of both student and teacher have been added to the school library.
The High School Chorus of about 60 singers continues to rehearse once a week in preparation for programs at the Christmas assembly and for the spring concert and end of school activities. It is recommended that a minimum of three rehearsals a week be established for this enthusiastic group. In the spring of 1959 nine students were chosen to participate in the New England Music Festival at Barre, Vermont. This fall five students were fortunate to be selected by an audition board to attend the Southeastern
169
District Music Festival to be held at Weymouth. Massa- chusetts. in January.
The Girls Glee Club numbers about thirty voices this year and meets to rehearse once a week. Preparations are being made for performances at the Christmas assembly. for the annual spring concert. and for the program given at the Glee Club formal dance in June.
Numerous requests come from the students themselves for a Boys Glee Club, but there is no time in the teaching schedule at the present. The Music Department activities will continue to expand only with additional teaching per- sonnel.
Interest in music in the schools of this union is in- creasing. and this interest is vitally needed by our children for balance in this era of atoms and missiles.
Respectfully submitted.

EASTHAM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
The program in Physical Education has changed very little since my last report. in which I gave a detailed ex- planation of the program and objectives.
In the 1956 Town Report a description of the Kraus- Weber test for Physical Fitness was given. and that test has been given every Fall since. The result is that there has been a great increase in the number passing it success-
170
fully. Most of the failures are in the first grade and in- dicate a weakness of the abdominal muscles and flexibility. This test has been augmented by the Amateur Athletic Union Junior Physical Fitness test. It consists of progres- sive tests of speed, strength, agility and endurance as stand- ards against which the children match their abilities and progress. These standards are to encourage the girls and boys from six to eighteen years of age to increase sports participation for the development of physical fitness. Physi- cal Fitness tests in themselves will not make the children physically fit but they will provide the incentive and chal- lenge to improve their physical condition once they match themselves against the standards. The first time I gave this Amateur Athletic Union test was in June 1958 and the re- sults were discouraging. Fifty-Three percent qualified and received their certificates. This year the percentage was 80% and very much more gratifying. Much interest and en- thusisam for this type of test is shown by the pupils.
Recommended by the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation for Elementary School Children is informal intramural competition, such as play days, sport days and invitation games, occasionally, with nearby schools. Competition for fun is emphasized as the greatest means of safety and health for the children.
The fifth and sixth grade boys had a very successful soccer play day with the Orleans Elementary School on Eastham's new soccer field; complete with goal posts. The children in the three schools of School Union No. 54 would like very much to have more of these play days and invita- tion games if the transportation problem can be arranged.
There are few elementary schools in the United States whose play area can compare with that of the Eastham Elementary School. We now have a soccer field, Little League Baseball Diamond, Softball Courts and the new Ten- nis Court being completed by the Recreation Commission. Playground equipment includes a jungle gym, 2 slides.
171
2 sets of swings and seesaws. This spring we will be doing more with track and field because we will have the equip- ment necessary.
Lengthening of the school day has made it possible to give the fourth, fifth and sixth grades an intramural pro- gram this Fall in soccer and volley ball. Basketball, soft- ball and track will be the sports for winter and spring. Skills and lead up games are taught in regular gym classes and are used during recess and after lunch.
To the citizens of Eastham, the School Committee, Recreation Committee, Supt. of Schools, Mr. Sydney Pierce, Principal, Mr. Otto Nickerson, teachers and Custodian, Nate Weber, my sincere thanks for their cooperation.

EASTHAM SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT December 1959
It is with pleasure that I submit my fourth annual report. The year 1959 has been a good year as regards the health of the school child. The only infectious disease re- ported was one case of chicken pox. There were a few "'colds", and some types of intestinal virus, but these were not severe enough to keep the children out of school for any length of time.
The role of the school nurse in Eastham is a very grati- fying one, whose concern is the Health, Nutrition, and
172
safety of the child. Everyone concerned works as a unit. The faculty observe for any illness in the class, or any signs that may suggest a child is not well, the Dietitian plans a well balanced meal very carefully, and the Janitor inspects well any equipment inside the school and on the playground for safety measures. The parents' interest and cooperation have always been given. With this help the health program has been, I think, satisfactory. I wish to convey to the Doctors an appreciation for the conferences with me when any help was needed for any special child.
We were fortunate in obtaining from Dr. Kazajian of Brewster some dental equipment for the dental clinic. We appreciate his generosity.
I attended a workshop at Simmon's College in June for five days, the subject : "Mental Health". This was most interesting, and I am extremely grateful for the permission given to attend this course.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICAN
We examined pre-school children in the spring of this year, and have just completed physical examination of all children in the first through sixth grades. We found them to be a group of healthy children with the exception of a few structural problems, enlarged tonsils and one heart irregularity. Slips were sent home to the parents advising them to take the child to their family physican wherein we deemed such attention was advisable for preventive- medicine.
Very truly yours, W. F. WHITRIGHT, D. O.
