ATHLETICS:
Norwell High's athletic teams have been going through a cycle of less than moderate success, but they are beginning to come into their own again. With evi- dence of coming material the next few years should be promising. Both in basketball and baseball Norwell won more games than had been won the year before. Thus far in basketball we have lost one game by one point and won the second. GRADUATION:
The usual graduation events took place in June, the Class Day and Banquet on June 13, Baccalaureate service on June 16, and Graduation on June 18. The Alumni Scholarship was awarded to Bethany Gleason. Gertrude Goldman achieved distinction in receiving the Good Citizenship medal presented by the Daughters of the American Revolution, and a medal for proficiency in United States History. Virginia Hall received the first post-graduate certificate to be issued by the school board.
In bringing this report to a close, I wish to express my appreciation for the friendly and helpful cooperation of many parents, alumni and friends of the school who have considered with me at various times some of their problems and problems of the school. May I also thank you, the school board and teachers for wholehearted support and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
GORDON O. THAYER.
ART DEPARTMENT
Mr. Thomas E. Rush Superintendent of Schools Norwell, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
The following is my report for the Art Department of the Norwell Schools for 1940.
82
TOWN OF NORWELL
As the number of high school students who select art each year increases, it becomes necessary to readjust my schedule nearly every September. This school year (Sept. '40-June '41) an arrangement, whereby Monday afternoon is given to the visiting of our two lower grade schools alternately is working with satisfaction. However, the 4th, 5th and 6th grades at the High School building do not receive as much of my time for demonstration lessons as in the past. With only two days for art instruction, any program is bound to be cramped, but I must submit the opinion that the grades from 7 through 12 receive the "lions share" of my time.
Art work completed by our children has been exhibited at the various exercises that are held in the schools throughout the year, and as is our usual custom at the Marshfield Fair in August 1940.
The art room at the High School has been the scene many times during the year of feverish activity, especially before plays, dances and holidays. This type of work, setting the stage for a play, decorating for dances and poster design is carried on in addition to our regular course in Design, Representation and the study of the various art techniques. I feel that all the extra work made necessary by school activities to be very purposeful, giving students a chance to practice on a large scale, the art principles which they study.
This fall drawings made by Christian Fenger and entered in the "Scholastic" competition for 1938 were returned, after having been shown in cities throughout the United States. The honor to our school in receiving recognition in a national contest was due to Mr. Fenger's creative mind and many months of painstaking care with his miniature automobile design. Mr. Fenger is a graduate of the Norwell High School and is now studying at Cornell.
Miss Bethany Gleason was awarded the Alumni Scholarship in June and has the distinction of being the first recipient of that honor to attend an art school, The Rhode Island School of Design. Miss Constance Robbins is in her senior year at the Massachusetts School of Art.
I wish to thank Mr. Lyle Rolfe, Commercial Artist, a graduate of our schools and the Modern School of Art in Boston, for the generous use of his time and talent when we were rushed with posters in October. And to all of our teachers, I take this medium yearly to express my gratitude for their constant effort in behalf of the art program. Without their daily vigilance in teaching beauty through orderly rooms and well designed work, my department would lose much of its value.
Respectfully submitted,
H. RODMAN BOOTH, Supervisor of Art.
MUSIC DEPARTMENT
To the Superintendent of Schools
Norwell, Mass.
Sir:
In the past year of 1939-40, the music department has had two goals towards which to work: development of instrumental classes and a definite outline of music work grade by grade.
We have developed instrumental classes in violin, trumpet, drum, saxophone, trombone, bass horn, clarinet, and 'cello. Pupils take lessons in school time and are given twenty minutes individually.
May I express our appreciation for instruments which have been donated to the school, and especially to the P. T. A. for their interest and their fund with which we have bought instruments and music stands.
At the present time we have seven school-owned instruments and approximately thirty pupils participating in instrumental work from grades four through nine.
83
NINETY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
The orchestra meets once a week and made its first public appearance at the Christmas assembly program.
In a short time a definite outline of music study throughout the grades will be compiled including the theory of music reading, music appreciation and rhythm work. This will be based on the Music Hour Series which we use throughout the school system.
The high school girls' glee club made several public appearances during 1940. They included a P. T. A. program, graduation, alumni meeting, assembly programs and the Mayflower Music Festival held in May, at Marshfield. This is a vocal festival with eight hundred other boys and girls taking part and will be held in Norwell this year.
Rehearsals are now being held for an operetta to be presented by the high school girls in February 1941.
Respectfully submitted,
MYRTLE BOWLIN, Supervisor of Music.
THE LEONARD ALLEN MEMORIAL FUND
This institution, a permanent and increasing fund for the purchase of books for the High School library, was created by the people of Norwell. It was established to perpetuate the memory and work of Leonard James Allen, teacher of English in the Junior and Senior High Schools, who endeared himself to all who knew him and who died on March 17, 1939 while still active in the performance of his services to the community. Initial gifts, donated by friends and associates of Mr. Allen and totalling $88.32, created the nucleus of the Fund. To this were added $112.00, the proceeds of the play, "Little Women", presented by the High School Class of 1938. Thus the Memorial started with a principal of $200.32. Contributioins, added on Leonard Allen Day, 1940 by the school children, amounted to $16.92. Interest, accrued during the first fiscal year, was $5.76. Hence, the increase in the Fund, gained during its first year, totalled $22.68. In accordance with the terms of the constitution half of this increase was added to the principal. The other half, $11.34, was made available to the trustees for expenditure. With this money eight valuable books were purchased for the school library.
ELIZABETH D. SKELDING,
Secretary, Board of Trustees, Leonard Allen Memorial Fund.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Superintendent of Schools,
Norwell, Massachusetts.
The following is my report as school physician for 1940:
The routine physical examination of a total of 349 students is completed and the general health found to be excellent. Permanent defects are few and have been fully considered by the respective families and their physicians. Postures present the major class of defects found and a definite effort is being made through the teachers' health council to organize corrective work.
Throat and gland infections, though still numerous, are fewer each year; due to impressing the importance of pasteurization of milk, and cold prevention.
The participants in the organized athletics were examined very carefully and it was necessary to restrict only a few.
Through the health council a complete program of health education was ar- ranged and this is being carried out systematically and with interest.
84
TOWN OF NORWELL
Contagion has been comparatively well controlled. There have been a few mild cases of mumps this fall.
Sanitation of the building is better and general interest is showing results by improved maintenance.
The co-operation of the faculty and staff is appreciated very much.
Respectfully yours, RAYMOND G. VINAL, M. D.

SCHOOL NURSE REPORT
To the Superintendent of Schools
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my seventeenth annual report as school nurse. It is worthy to note that Norwell was one of the first towns in the state to establish a definite school health program. Originating in 1918, it has developed, through the cooperation of parents, school committee, teachers and pupils, into a very real part of the school curriculum.
The summer round-up or pre-school clinic which is conducted every spring, is of tremendous assistance in detecting and explaining to the parent at this time the importance of having physical defects corrected before the child enters school. The pre-school dental clinic which is held during the last two weeks of June and the month of July, takes care of as many pre-school children as possible. Last summer 13 cases were completed and 16 other children were cared for during this time.
The audiometer was again used for testing the ears of the children in grades 5 and 10. Any other children the teachers wished to have checked more carefully than the simple ear test used in the classroom were examined at this time.
While the number of children having physical defects is slightly higher than in the past few years, (there were 69), this can be attributed to some extent to
85
NINETY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
the increase in the school population. To offset this however, the number of children having physical defects corrected has also increased, and we find the majority of parents becoming more aware than ever before of the importance of the health of the school child.
At this time I would like to remark upon the necessity of the closest cooperation between home and school during an outbreak of a communicable disease. Alone, we can do very little-but, working together we can obtain effective results. If the parents would report to the school and also the Board of Health any communicable disease in the home it would benefit the entire community.
May I take this opportunity to thank all those concerned and interested in the health and well-being of our school children?
Respectfully submitted,
CATHERINE A. ROE.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
In presenting this report to the townspeople the Selectmen assume that the change in the general makeup of the Report has been accepted by the people as we have had no criticism of the same. Any comments on this Report will be welcome at the Town Meeting, as we are anxious to keep you informed at all times.
The Board extend their thanks to the department heads for their co- operation during the year, to the members of the Advisory Board and to the many citizens who have served on various committees. To the citiz- ens who are serving on the various Defense Committees - our heartfelt thanks. The Executive Committee on Civilian Defense has been organ- ized with Mr. A. Ralph Gordon appointed District Director for Region
5
NINETY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
V1-A2. Mr. Ralph H. Coleman succeeded Mr. Gordon as Local De- fense Chairman. The splendid spirit which the people of Norwell have taken in this emergency is remarkable.
The town dump has been used extensively during the year 1941, but due to the dry season we were unable to burn because of the fire hazard.
When the town began to have a shortage of water, the town spring was inspected and we were advised to dig it deeper. This was done and two more tile were added and we now seem to have an unlimited supply. The water was tested by the State Board of Health and proved to be of high standard. An anti-freeze pump was installed so that the water would be available all winter. The road from River Street to the pump has been graveled to make it convenient to get to the pump at all times.
During the year applications for W. P. A. have been at a minimum and we have had, with few exceptions, little unemployment.
Many of our young men are in the United States service at the present time.
Due to unexpected expense in connection with defense work and a water shortage, we were obliged to draw on the incidental account in excess of the amount appropriated for 1941.
A. LESTER SCOTT, Chairman RALPH H. COLEMAN JAMES A. LIDDELL
PUBLIC WELFARE
This year has been similar to the previous ones. Six permanent wel- fare cases were transferred during the year to Old Age Assistance, leav- ing only four active cases at the close of the year in the town and two Norwell cases out of town.
As you will remember from the report of the Advisory Board of last year, the town was disallowed reimbursements after an audit by the Federal Government. These disallowances covered a period from Feb- ruary 1, 1936 to July 1, 1940.
In view of the possible financial hardship which might result in such deductions were to be made in one year, we were instructed that for the year 1941 we would have a deduction of $1,598.50, for which we made allowance in our budget of 1941. This amount covered disallowances from February 1, 1936 to December 31, 1937. Disallowances for the period from January 1, 1938 to July 1, 1940, are set forth in the following letter from the State.
"For your information the amount of deductions to be made for Federal Audit Exceptions during this year are as follows:
OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
Total Net Exceptions $2,224.24
1938
1939 5,183.14
Total Net Deductions $1,149.18 2,677.95
1/1/40 - 6/30/40 none
1938-39-40 $7,407.38 $3,827.13 (2/3 of 5% included for administration)
The total deductions for Old Age Assistance for these years amount to $3,827.13. There may be an additional amount to be deducted for administration for the year 1937, which was not included at the time that deduction was made, but the amount will be very small. An appropriation of $4,000.00 should cover all deductions to be made this year."
6
TOWN OF NORWELL
The Old Age Assistance case load in Norwell for 1941 has been 87, with 18 additional Norwell cases living out of town. Seventeen new cases were added (six transferred from Welfare, three out of town cases living in Norwell, eight new cases). Eighteen cases were closed during the year. Since the Federal and State Governments are contributing to- wards the expense of this assistance, this type of relief is practically con- trolled by the Federal and State regulations. Another factor in the in- crease of this year's budget on Old Age Assistance is due to the vote of the people of this State to increase Old Age Assistance under Chapter 729, Acts and Resolves of 1941, which is an amendment to the Old Age Assistance Law of this State. This increase under the present case load will cost approximately $5,000.00 per year.
Disallowances on Aid to Dependent Children for the year 1939 were $458.50, to be deducted in 1942. This is the same story as on Old Age Assistance. The budget for 1942 is just half of the budget for 1941, with the exception of the above disallowances, or $750.00 plus the disallowance of $458.50.
PUBLIC WELFARE
During the year thirty-two cases were aided, twenty-two of which were for temporary aid only. At the close of the year six cases had been transferred to Old Age Assistance, twenty cases closed, leaving six cases still active as of January 1, 1942.
