WILLARD B. SPALDING,
Superintendent of Schools.
High School Principal
To the Superintendent of Schools
Mr. Willard B. Spalding :
I present my report for the Norwell High and Gram- mar School for the year 1936.
The curriculum has not been revised to any great extent in the past year. Our purpose is to revise the material so as to eliminate what is nonessential, in other words, to present less and in a more thorough fashion.
Due to increased enrollment, American history is to be taught every year in the future. A course in public speaking is planned in conjunction with the regular Eng- lish work.
There have been two changes in the faculty. Mr. Fel- lowes has replaced Miss Minard as Mathematic teacher. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College. Mr. Turner has been added to the staff as a teacher of science. He is a Bates graduate. The addition of this teacher makes pos- sible more supervision and administration by the princi- pal.
The following teachers are doing graduate work at present and plan to engage in this work during the sum- mer holidays :
Mr. Farr - Boston University
Mr. Turner - Howard University
Mrs. Pinson - Bridgewater State Teachers College
Mrs. Turner - Boston University
Mr Daggett - University of Maine
Our Athletic teams coached by Miss Jenkins and Mr. Farr enjoyed a fair amount of success. The Basketball teams were handicapped by lack of a home court, but
127
TOWN OF NORWELL
were able to use Hanover's gymnasium at certain times. I hope to arrange a program of intra mural sports. This enables a larger number of pupils to participate.
The three town dramatic contest was very successful. This has aroused the interest of the pupils which in it- self is sufficient reason for continuing. Mr. Allen who coaches dramatics, also plans a Senior Class play to be presented in March.
There were fourteen members in the graduating class of 1936. Of this number five have continued school and the others are at home or working. The class day exer- cises were held at Pembroke Pines, the graduation exer- cises in the Unitarian Church, and the Senior dance at Ridge Hill Grove. The graduation exercises this year are to be based on the life of Horace Mann.
At this time I wish to present some of the objectives toward which I plan to work when we are settled in the new school building :
A system of student government. This is valuable in developing a sense of school responsibility and pride, as well as teaching pupils to work together to a common end.
A Club Program, sponsored by various teachers, and carried out after school hours. I believe this is worth- while as a recreation, and by arousing interest in various hobbies which may bring pleasure in later life
A social program including dancing, socials, assemblies and other things of a similar nature. The value of this is obvious and needs no comment.
As much help in vocational guidance as we can give. This will include information regarding educational in- stitutions, their cost, scholarships and entrance require- ments. Also information concerning various trades, the trend in recent years, chances of success etc. I feel that there is a definite need for help of this kind.
128
EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
A yearly school publication. This is very worthwhile, as it gives training in assembling, writing, and selling. There is real pupil interest in a school magazine, and I feel that it should be carried on.
In closing, may I express my appreciation to the school officials and teachers for their help in making the past year a success.
Respectfully submitted, 1
PHILIP DAGGETT,
Principal.
Music Department
To the Superintendent of Schools
I submit my annual report as supervisor of music.
There are many reasons why public school music is of great benefit to the child.
It is a pleasant change from other work and singing together gives much enjoyment.
It helps the child to understand the better music after school days end, cultivates the taste and enables him to discriminate.
By learning its performance he may give pleasure to others and he may develop a true spirit of teamwork through association with others in playing and singing beautiful music.
The New Music Course taught in the first six grades is devoted largely to the study of melody as an expression of mood and tonal design. The very best examples of mel- ody are offered, also folk songs, selections from classics and standard songs, by the outstanding present day com- posers. Rhythm is developed in the primary grades by simple folk dances. Picture study of some of the most noted composers and listening to some of their music on the victrola also recognizing the different instruments make up the music appreciation program.
Fifty singers were chosen from the high school chorus to give selections at the dedication of the New Town Hall. The numbers were "Anchored" by Watson and "Sweet Genevieve" by Tucker accompanied by our school pianist Marion Hurley.
Norwell Schools are in need of an instrumental pro- gram. Toy orchestra is taught in the lower grades but from fifth grade through High School there should be a band instructor to teach the different instruments and make a good high school orchestra possible.
130
EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
The 5th and 6th grades have been most affected by the burning of the H. S. building. This is where the most intensive technical drilling is practised and ten minute periods are insufficient for normal progress.
It was a great privilege to attend the National Music Educators Conference in New York City last spring, where music groups were heard all over the country. The famous Joliet Band of one hundred and fifty high school boys from Illinois was one of the high lights, also a splendid acappella choir from Tulane University.
A massed chorus numbering thirty-five hundred from New York City assembled to pay tribute to Dr. Damrosch presenting him with a million letters and they rendered several fascinating choruses accompanied by orchestra and the Hammond organ.
Discussions on speech choirs and demonstrations of the different phases of school music continued through- out conference week
It has been very gratifying to me to note the co-opera- tion of the teachers and pupils under such abnormal conditions.
I am also aware of the loyalty and interest of our school officials.
Respectfully submitted,
PANSY B. STETSON.
Art Department
To the Superintendent of Schools
Mr. Willard Spalding :
Dear Sir:
The following is my report for the work of the Art Department in the Norwell Schools for 1936:
1. Demonstration lessons taught and supervision of Art instruction at the following schools Thursday mornings :
a. Center Primary School, Grades 1 to 4.
b Ridge Hill School, Grades 1 to 4.
c. At Hanover High School, Grades 5 to 6.
Thursday afternoons, one period of thirty minutes each. Teaching of drawing.
a. Grades 7 and 8, Thursday afternoons.
b. High School classes, Fridays from January through September. Mondays, September through December.
2. Exhibitions held :
a. Pupils work exhibited at the Grade schools at special exercises for parents and the public, throughout the school year.
b. Grades 1 through 6 at the Marshfield Fair, August 1936.
3. The necessary curtailment of time, since our High School classes have been held in the Hanover High School has greatly affected the volume of poster work and art aid usually offered to the High School activities. I take this opportunity to thank the boys and girls of my classes and others in the school who have carried on much of this work outside of school hours.
I wish to thank all members of our school system who help, through their splendid cooperation, in making Art a vital life experience for our boys and girls.
Respectfully submitted,
H. RODMAN BOOTH, Supervisor of Art.
School Dentist
Superintendent of Schools, Norwell, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
I submit the following report for the dental clinic to January 1, 1937.
Fillings in temporary teeth 200
Fillings in permanent teeth 292
Temporary teeth extracted 65
Permanent teeth extracted 8
Teeth treated 20
Cleansings 109
Completed cases 110
Due to the prompt action and co-operation of the School Committee no time was lost as the result of the fire. Having the office in the Center School, much work has been done on the younger pupils. When we occupy our new office in the High School we can concentrate on the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades.
Respectfully submitted,
W. B. PARSONS, D. M. D., School Dentist.
