candy is limited to sweet chocolate, plain and with nuts. Ice cream and some plain cookies are the chief deserts offered.
Health Period. For a limited few who are over ten per cent. underweight we offer an opportunity of about five minutes in the middle of the forenoon to take some small amount of nurishment. This is not with the hope that weight may be gained from the food they, receive, but that the milk or other drink, usually warm, may merely serve to relive the nervous strain or fatigue resulting from an empty stomach, thereby enabling the regular meals to be better di- gested and assimilated by the body. A sound mind in a sound body is a fundamental of happiness. No better serv- ice can be rendered the youth of America than for us in whose care it is placed to do all possible to establish and train to maintain sound healthy bodies dominated by sound active minds. Our school nurse and school dentist may well be commended here for the general good health prevalent in the school children at present.
Athletics. As yet, basketball is the only form of athletics in which this school has competed with outside schools. Under careful leadership the pupils develop in their under- standing of fair play, school spirit, team work, and self de- velopment. We all like to win but winning is secondary to fair play and scholastic training. No student may rep- resent this school unless he is doing satisfactory work in at least three full courses of study.
Dramatics. At present we are working on a play and also on an opperetta each of which is to be given by the school later in the year. In these, just as in athletics, strict rules of elegibility are enforced. I am looking forward to these two entertainments with anticipation of a high degree of success in each due to the enthusiasm of the casts and the co-operation with the coaches.

Public Speaking. It was hoped that an interscholastic declamation contest might be held. Interscholastic debates were mentioned but apparently insufficient enthusiasm was aroused to warrant success. A start along this line is to be made, however, in the late spring when a prize speaking contest is planned. A contest of this type properly prepared is of inestimable value in training young people to think clearly and to express their thoughts to others.
Publications. It is hoped that several issues of a school paper may be published. This means another activity but still a further opportunity for the student to discover and develope a talent and to prepare himself for valuable service later. The French department has already published La Petite Guillotine which was highly successful and which showed considerable successful effort on the part of many. Additional issues are to appear shortly.
Social Functions. Our social functions and other activi- ties have received publicity in the columns of the local papers. The Senior Hallowe'en Dance was well attended and may well be considered a social and financial success. Our Assembly period is always open to visitors as well as any other activity. It is hoped that during the remainder of the year the school may have the opportunity of hearing a few outside speakers. Already we have had several inter- esting talks from people who have gladly given their serv- ices knowing that young people are always eager for infor- mation and for new visions of life in this and in other lands.
The Honor Roll has been published at the end of each marking period. Here may be found names of students who have done superior work in at least four full courses. The names are not many though none has been excluded that this honor might be shared by few. We sincerely wish that with each marking period new names might be added and

will do all in our power to help individuals to be worthy of the honor, but they, too, must show effort. At the end of the first two marking periods, the names of the following pupils have been placed on the honor roll for the entire four month period :
Lizzie Damon
Stanley Johnson
Joanmarie Franceschini
Elsie Maxwell
Delia Gaudette
Cynthia Robbins
Elsie Henderson
Jennie White
Helen Wiggin
On the whole I am exceptionally well pleased with the co-operation of the parents and pupils with the teachers. Though the attendance average of 96.6% to date is enviably high (that of the entire state is but 93%) it is lowered greatly by certain individuals whose parents or guardians do not co-operate to the extent of requiring attendance except in the case of absolutely necessary or honestly advis- able absences. If an intelligent parent would but realize the inconvenience caused by one day's absence from school our records would not be blemished by needless absence as has been the case occasionally in the past. There is a surprising correlation between certain phases of school activities which appear at first to be unrelated. That class (Senior) which stands highest in attendance for the first four months also leads in scholastic accomplishments. The class (Freshman) which is second in attendance is also second in scholastic accomplishments. The remaining two classes have the same correlation. In addition there is another remarkable feature; all four classes are rated in exactly the same order in thrift record and in "attitude and conduct" as in their attendance and scholastic marks. All of these little tenden- cies make up the individual character and habits of the pupil. They are woven into a miraculous network of fibres
145

each being somewhat dependent upon the other and influ- enced by it.
I am disappointed that many of our pupils now nearly ready to face the world are extremely careless in certain things which are to be of vital importance to their health and happiness. In many cases, though the fault lies with the pupil himself, this can be traced to the early training received at home. Parents can co-operate if they will but create correct home habits. They can see that the boy leaves in the morning with a reasonable degree of body cleanli- ness. Because of neglect, habits are easily formed which injure a youngster's personal appearance, social value, and ultimate associations with his companions. Among the girls there is a decided lack of correct posture. It is indeed cause for reflection as one by one the girls are noticed and rarely is one seen to have posture which suggests even that train- ing for that desirable condition has ever been received. The school, in this, as well as in many other branches of non- scholastic activities, stands ready and eagar to help and en- courage the development and maintenance of those health habits which ultimately lead to personal appearance and pos- ture which the seeing and caring half of the world envies .- But here, too, little can be done without co-operation from the parents.
Much time has been spent this year in the study of each individual pupil that his particular needs might be more adequately met. To amplify this study intelligence tests are to be given later. The results of these will further enable us to diagnose the individual and to determine the particular remedial course to persue.
To be a successful high school teacher in addition to many other requisites, one must be willing and to a degree be able to enterpret individual types. He or she must under-
146
SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
stand the proper meaning of education as well as the specific aim of a certain assignment. One must be ready and sym- pathetic with the adolescent youth to analize the nature of the growing mind and to understand its individual abilities and limitations. One must be on the alert to inspire by leadership and to stimulate by proceedure the desire of the pupil for knowledge, success, and high ideals of thinking and living.
The individual interests and abilities of the teaching staff of Norwell High School are indeed varied. Our four teach- ers are adequately qualified to lead physical training groups of many branches; three, at least, have had experience with dramatics; at least two are qualified for musical training and leadership, two for public speaking and debating, and all are interested in further professional betterment through outside study. Three of the four are taking courses each week at Harvard University Graduate School of Education. I sincerly doubt if a school can be found in which there is a better spirit of co-operation among teachers, between teacher and pupil, or between committee, superintendent, principal, and teachers. It can be honestly said of the teach- ers of the Norwell High School, "Their teaching day is never ended so long as will remain one student who is desirous of help." The three specialty teachers, namely those of Music, Drawing, and Physical Training, have, on the whole, shown a fine spirit of adaptability which I believe is the chief means of measuring the varying degree of their success.
Last fall all teachers attended a Teachers' Convention in Brockton. This doubtless proved of great value to the teachers of this town. Each month the teachers of Hanover' Hanson, and Norwell have met and each meeting has been of definate importance and value. These meetings have aided greatly in the understanding of the problems peculiar

to our particular location. In the near future there is to be a meeting of all the principals of the state and a little later a National Principals' Convention at Boston. Each of these meetings will be attended with expectations of receiv- ing ideas and information which will be useful in my func- tioning as Principal. These various meetings and conven- tions tend to stimulate new ideas, broaden our contacts, and greatly increase our efficiency.
My work in Norwell I find very enjoyable. I am sure this would not be so if I did not have a fine wholesome student group with which to work. I have tried this year to avoid as much as possible any visable show of authority. I have tried to have that government which springs from individuals themselves, namely, self-control. Gradually we are finding ourselves with customs rather than rules, order rather than chaos, and human beings rather than puppets.
I wish to express my personal appreciation of the support and co-operation of the committee, of the superintendent, and of the teachers with whom I have been associated. Without this co-operation little could have been accomplish- ed, but instead I feel as though thus far we have been suc- cessful. We are looking forward to months of further suc- cess with increasing responsibility bringing increased op- portunities for service.

Supervisor of Drawing
The outline of instruction in drawing for the schools of Norwell is arranged under three distinct headings: Repre- sentation; Design and Construction.
Representation includes the study of facts and appear- ances of form and shape. The objectives toward which we work are as follows:
1. To develop the habit of using drawing as a language.
2. Te develop the visual memory and creative imagina- tion thru the use of drawing.
3. To develop the power of discriminating observation.
Design includes the study of the laws of order in Nature and their application to Art.
The main objectives of this phase of the subject are : (1) To help the child to recognize, understand and enjoy order as the basis of beauty in Nature and Art: (2) To give him power to create orderly and possibly beautiful designs in color, line, shape and form: (3) Increasing dis- crimination in the selection and arrangement of Art pro- ducts.
Costruction includes the technical execution of the child's ideas. Instruction in this subject helps the child to develop the habit of inventive and creative expression in materials and increase his technical skill in the use of tools and ma- terials.
152
SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
My time allowed is one day a week which I have divided into seven periods. This allows thirty-five minutes for in- struction in each grade and a half hour for the High School class. This period of time is quite adequate for the grades since the instruction is carried on during the week by the grade teacher.
For the High School class, one half hour period a week is not sufficient time in which to obtain the best results from each pupil and unless more time is devoted to the sub- ject during the week, much cannot be accomplished.
I have followed this plan closely in my work in the grades and I am very much pleased with the results obtain- ed. I believe that by the end of the school year they will have a foundation upon which future courses can be suc- cessfully built.
During the past few months that I have been working with the teachers and pupils in the schools of Norwell I have received a great deal of pleasure. Both have shown intense interest in the problems that I have assigned.
In closing I wish to express my appreciation to the teach- ers and members of the School Board for their hearty co- operation with me in my work.
Respectfully submitted, CHRISTINE DRISKO, Supervisor of Drawing
Supervisor of Music
Hanover Center, Mass., Jan. 13, 1928
Mr. Leon Farrin, Superintendent of Schools :
Dear Sir :-
I found the schools of Norwell in a splendid working conditions, owing to the fact that the teachers are particu- larly interested in the subject of music. Pupils in each room have made a splendid start in a system which is entire- ly new to them. Enthusiasm is contagious and the children soon catch that interest and the desire for advancement and co-operation which I gratefully receive from the teachers and school officials. Parents too, should always encourage and appreciate the efforts of their children, for, after all, few are born singers but any child of average intelligence and willingness to work can enjoy singing with others and learn to appreciate the better music.
As to credits in music in the grades every child is given fifty points in technical work, twenty-five for good voice production and twenty-five for effort so it is possible for every student to receive seventy-five points even though he may be unmusical.
In the first two grades most of he work is individual that each one may receive a solid foundation. As much in- dividual work as possible is being carried on in the upper grades.
154
SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
Great interest is being shown in the operetta, "The Ghost of Lollipop Bay," written by one of our best American composers, Charles Cadman, which will be presented by the students of the High School sometime in the spring with Mrs. Turner as assistant director.
