ONE HUNDRED SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
Public Welfare Report
In 1956 the case load under Welfare decreased slightly but the expenditures were greater in most cases. Hospital rates have further increased. It seems that the number of Old Age Assistance cases has dropped due to the fact that people over sixty-five years of age are now benefiting more by Social Security Benefits. As a result of this, those who are on Old Age Assistance are in the most part much older than sixty-five years and seem to require more Rest Home and Hospital care, therefore making the expenditures higher.
The Town assumes the total cost of Norwell settled Public Welfare cases. On the other three categories, namely, Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children and Disability Assistance, reimbursement is received from Federal, State, and on other Town settled cases aided in Norwell. Federal receipts are applied to future aid. State and Town receipts go into the General Fund.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT - NORWELL
To the Norwell School Committee, Town of Norwell.
It is a pleasure to submit this my fourteenth Annual Report.
On January 2, 1957 the Grace Farrar Cole Elementary School was substantially completed and the children were able to use the classroom section. Thus ended four months of double session, half-day classes at the Norwell Elementary School. Thus begins a new era for the elementary children living in the area west of Jacob's Lake.
The Norwell School Building Committee members deserve a great deal of credit for the many hours that they have spent in planning and supervising the construction of this new building. They and the Norwell School Committee united in paying tribute to Grace Farrar Cole, long a beloved teacher, and for several years a School Committee member, by nam- ing the school after her.
Charles Pike, who served on three Building Committees, and who was instrumental in seeing that the property was deeded by the Union A. A. to the Town without cost, did not live to see the results of his labors. Yet the provision that this site shall continue to be used for recreation of the youth of the community will be a lasting memorial in his honor and to the organization he represented.
Good Friday-in vacation week Spring Vacation

ONE HUNDRED SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
Moving into the Grace Farrar Cole School immediately filled 10 of the 12 classrooms, and left the Norwell Elementary School completely filled, with one sixth grade class still at the Norwell High School. Transportation of these sixth graders across town is not feasible since they live in the east- ern section of the town. Since there are four sections of each of the grades one, two, three and four, but only three sections of grade five, and but two sections of grade six, the natural moving along of the lower grades into Grade 5 and 6 will result in full schools within two years, with two sixth grades still in the High School building, and with no room for the beginning of five or six sections of grade one, etc. The pre- school census indicates that these children are already in Norwell and will be entering in substantially larger numbers than before. Therefore further expansion of our building program is imperative now, both for the elementary school, and in about a year for our upper grades Since planning and building takes from two to three years, prompt action is necessary to avoid repetition of double sessions.
Norwell's enrollment has more than doubled from the Oct. 1, 1950 figure of 475 to the Oct. 1, 1956 total of 966, and every indication is that these figures will continue to go up about 100 per year, or more than 3 full classrooms per year.

If Kindergartens are desired by the parents, then approxi- mately 120 to 130 should be added to the above figures for each year.
In addition to the 966 enrolled in our schools approxi- mately 42 children are attending private, parochial, or special schools of their choice. This number has remained fairly constant over the years and represents 4% of the total eligible school children of Norwell.
The greatest change is occurring at the High School level. This year's graduating class numbers 38, an all time high. However the sophomore class numbers 58, and the freshman class 64. These are all double anything we have had in the
113
TOWN OF NORWELL
past. They will be further increased as the much larger numbers move on into the High School from the grades, and ultimately will be around 115 in each class. A planning com- mittee should be working on a solution to the High School building problem. The rapid expansion seems most apparent when the budget total is examined. Substantial increases due to opening the new building account for part of the total. Teacher salary adjustments account for another sizeable sum. General increases in the cost level of supplies, texts and fuel continue. The increase in State aid, although helpful does not close the gap in the total.
The teachers' salaries were restudied during the year, and it was the feeling of those participating in the study that the first need was to correct an inequity that had existed for years, that many had never been placed where they belonged on the salary scale because of a yearly limitation on their increase. This year almost all can be placed on the scale where they belong, although the Committee felt restrained to continue a maximum that could be given in any one year. The scale is quite conservative and will need further study and revision to attract the type of teacher desired in Norwell.
Some additional revenue to the Town has come from the U. S. Government Public Law 874 money. At present 141 Norwell children have parents "who work on federal prop- erty". Of the above number 45 children have parents working at Fore River which is partially U. S. owned, and therefore partly reimburseable. Money in lieu of tax is available and amounted to $4,406.16 in 1956. It is expected to be higher in 1957.
The State aid covering regular aid, transportation aid, and partial reimbursement on account of the salary of the Super- intendent and his expenses totaled $51,458.00 in 1956, and will be approximately $60,351.00 in 1957. The increase of $8,893.00 will reduce the general increase of the budget by this amount. The rest of the increase of the budget must therefore come from the taxes from additional new homes built this past year, and which account for most of the addi- tional students.
Our pre-school census indicates that approximately 55% of the children who will be entering our schools live in one- eighth of the area of the Town, i.e., west of Jacob's Pond.
As it is now set up all children living in the Ridge Hill area will be expected to use the school buses unless a written note is filed with the principal asking that the child be per-
114

mitted to walk. This will eliminate any crossing of Route 3 or walking on any heavily travelled highway, and will con- tinue until sidewalks are available.
Our staff changes in 1956 were kept to the minimum and new teachers were due mainly to the adding of seven addi- tional teachers to those who were to transfer to form the Grace Farrar Cole staff.
Lost by death was our beloved band leader Harry Iovinelli who organized and brought into being our band. This fine organization will be a lasting tribute to his efforts, and he will be long remembered.
Schools are sometimes measured by the success their stu- dents have in getting into College, or by the scores of stand- ardized tests given each year. Norwell does well in both, but a better test of any school is to examine the morale of its students and its faculty. By such a test Norwell stands high.
Since many more will be seeking to enter College than the existing Colleges can possibly enroll, it is becoming more difficult to enter the College of first choice. Some Colleges are accepting for entrance only 1 out of 10 of the appli- cants. It is apparent that the best prepared students will be the ones who will be accepted. Students and parents should start early toward choosing and preparing for the College of their choice.
Repairs this year included replacement of the flat roof area over the High School kitchen, and unexpected work on both of the sewerage beds. The kitchen and part of the Elementary School cafeteria were painted. Exterior painting was advertised, but there were no bidders due to the fact that all painters had more exterior work than they could handle due to the late spring. Again we were fortunate in receiving excessive fill from the water main installations, and our elementary parking lot is gradually taking shape. This is available for use by the Civilian Defense, which is expanding its program and the use of this building.
I appreciate the efforts of all who work to make Norwell schools good schools.
I wish to thank especially the School Committee for their valuable guidance and help during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
CLIFTON E. BRADLEY Supt. of Schools

It may be noted from the above program of studies that pupil growth permits each major subject to be offered each school year. Physics, chemistry, trigonometry, solid geometry, and Algebra II, once offered in alternate years to combined eleventh and twelfth grades, are now available for election annually in the respective grades concerned. Two English courses are now offered at each high-school grade level. Col- lege Preparatory English emphasizes the aspects of the sub- ject essential to best achievement in post-secondary education. General English prepares for a successful application of the "word and phrase" in the occupational areas beyond high school.
Grades six through twelve are recognizing the better-than- average student by providing challenging project matter that extends the learning process beyond the limits of classroom routine. Here young people with potential and enthusiasm can pursue their interests and abilities with faculty guidance in an enriched program. It is the school's intent to identify the "gifted" and to prepare them to assume an eventual position of leadership in a democratic society.
The educational standards of the junior-senior high school are high. It is our purpose to keep them so. Graduates of Norwell High School are successfully achieving in many of the nation's leading colleges and universities. The Norwell graduate compares and competes favorably with the pupil- product of other secondary public or private schools. This enviable and desirable record and status quo is attributable directly to the competence of a superior faculty. Norwell is fortunate in its teaching staff.
117
TOWN OF NORWELL
The physical education department offers a well balanced program. The directors of physical education, Mary Knapp and Felix Dixon, have provided the theory and practical application of detail essential to best results with the classes concerned.
The citizens of Norwell must be made completely aware of the need for expanded school plant facilities. School administration has "blueprinted" an educational plan to best serve the pupil population over the next several years. It must be apparent, however, that books, supplies, personnel, and buildings are essential to the functioning of any educa- tional plan and program. Norwell schools can provide any educational service to any number of pupils provided the citizens can and do support that service. Continuing high educational standards depend on that support.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK A. SMALL, Principal Norwell High School
REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. Clifton E. Bradley,
Superintendent of Schools,
Norwell, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir :
Herewith is my annual report as school physician for 1956.
Routine physical examinations have been completed in the High School, Junior High School and Elementary grades one and four. The school nurse and the physical education teachers were present and participated in the evaluations. Growth measurements were recorded and audiometer and visual acuities were tested for deficiencies which could create problems in the classrooms. Reports were sent to parents when abnormalities were unknown or when corrections were indicated.
Contagion has been kept to a minimum by the teachers and the school nurse.
Regular immunizations, including Salk vaccine, are pretty well completed to date in the lower grades.
118
ONE HUNDRED SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
I would urge more complete and regular immunizations be maintained in the older age groups.
The sanitation of the buildings and grounds has been good. This includes lunch rooms, heat, light, and ventilation.
Again, I would urge consideration for improvement of the physical education activities and the necessary facilities.
I wish to thank all those in the school program who share my concern for the health and well being of the students.
Sincerely yours, RAYMOND G. VINAL, M.D. School Physician
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DENTIST AND SCHOOL HYGIENIST
To the Board of Health and
Superintendent of Schools,
Norwell, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
Pre-school clinics were held in June and July for the new class entering first grade. Fluorine treatments were carried out by the hygienist on the second grade children. The all important six year molar is protected at that time.
Dental work proceeded as usual, working from the sixth grade down.
Dental equipment has been purchased for the new school at Ridge Hill by the building committee.
