A new first grade was added this year. Mrs. Lillian Ray of Wey- mouth was hired as teacher of this class. Our other new teachers are Mr. Gerald Wentzell of Brockton, and Mrs. Agnes Nelson of Quincy, both being sixth grade teachers. Mrs. Ethel Sproul, new to us, was trans- ferred from the High School with her sixth grade.
For the first time since we have had a helping teacher (six years), she now has a room of her own. This leaves us with one room which is not in use. In September 1959, this room will be occupied by a second grade.
Both teachers and pupils appreciate the enlarged parking space and the black top at the rear of the building. These two areas enable the pupils to get out of doors at recess often on days when, without the black top they would have to remain inside. It also saves much wear and tear on the building.
We have added an Ampro sound motion picture projector to our visual aid equipment. This was partly earned by the pupils and many thanks to our room mothers for finishing the project. The P.T.A. has added several new books to our room libraries, which we appreciate very much.

ONE HUNDRED NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
On November 17 our new rooms were opened to the public for the first time. This opening was held in conjunction with our first Parent- Teacher Conference of the present school year.
Our annual Christmas Open House was held on December 22, 1958.
First grade registration day was May 5. On June 12, all pupils who registered to enter school in September, visited with us. This was a very busy but profitable day.
All pupils took part in the Memorial Day program. Mrs. Hewitt accompanied them. Over 150 parents and friends attended.
Last May, under the supervision of our committee man, Professor William G. Vinal, four evergreens were planted. The pupils recited poems, and sang songs. This comprised our Arbor Day Program.
A sixth grade Glee Club has been organized under the supervision of Mr. Hewitt, our music supervisor.
Booster shots were given in May. Testing of eyes and ears was carried on as usual. Dr. Vinal has given physical examinations, and the school dentist is carrying on as in former years.
Field trips were taken in the spring to the following places: Big Brother, King's Castle, the Christian Science Publishing Society and Maparium, and Halifax Game Farm.
Several times a year, especially at those times when report cards are issued, we stop to ponder. How are our children doing? Are they grow- ing in proper skills, attitudes, knowledges and habits? Are they learning to study and make the best use of their time? Are they using logical thinking in carrying out their assignments?
Some seem to think that this evaluation is based wholly on the outcome of our achievement tests. We at Norwell Elementary feel that much more than achievement tests must be considered in evaluating a child. For example; we study the mental and physical health of the child ; we want to know what is happening in the class room and on the playground; we are interested in the child's social adjustment; we must follow through with their subject matter strength and weaknesses. A most important question is "Is the child working up to his potentials?" If not; why not?
155
TOWN OF NORWELL
We feel that the most important factor in appraising pupil growth is the judgment of the classroom teacher. When we find a child is capable of doing more than is required of the average part of the class, he is led to other experiences which give him a broader view of the subject at hand.
We wish to thank all those who in any way have contributed to furnishing us with such a beautiful building, pleasant surroundings, and excellent materials with which to work.

Dear Mr. Bradley :
It is my pleasure to once again report on the performance and achievements of the Grace Farrar Cole School over the past year.
Our enrollment at the end of the school year 1957-1958 was 291. September of the present school year we had an enrollment of 320 pupils. It was necessary to convert the auditorium into a sixth grade classroom to accommodate 33 pupils. This gave us 13 classrooms in operation until Oct. 10, when our sixth grade left for their new room in the addition to the Norwell Elementary School. This lowered our enrollment to 287 dispersed among 12 rooms. The following table will show the distribution of pupils in Grace Farrar Cole School as of December 19, 1958.
Gr. 1 Gr. 2 74 71 Gr. 3 52 Gr. 4 44 Gr. 5 43
Total 284
A first grade with 29 pupils is our greatest number in any one classroom. Twenty pupils is our minimal number enrolled in a room. With the addition to Norwell Elementary School our present 12 rooms will be sufficient to handle the enrollment for 1959-60. We will have an additional third grade but one of our fifth grades will be re- located in the new elementary addition.
In September of this year Mrs. Emmie Black, a former elementary school principal, became our new first grade teacher. Miss Priscilla Kingston and Miss Virginia Watson were hired to fill the vacancy and new position in our second grade. A fourth grade vacancy was filled by Mrs. Helen V. Lawrence and our sixth grade needs were satisfied through the hiring of Mr. Gerald Wentzell.

ONE HUNDRED NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
The week of May 12, 1958, was orientation week for prospective first graders entering in September of this school year. Each child, in groups of twelve, was given a morning at Cole School. Mrs. Grace Alvey, our reading teacher, took each group on a tour of our building, gave a readiness test, and concluded with lunch in the cafeteria showing the children the lunchroom procedure. A readiness check sheet con- cerning each child was filed in by Mrs. Alvey. This includes remarks about the child's physical, mental, social, and emotional habits. The check list plus the reading readiness score enabled us to obtain a better idea of each child's abilities and weaknesses thus giving the classroom teacher some foresight on what to expect in September and an oppor- tunity to plan accordingly:
Mental ability tests (I.Q.) were given in September, 1958, to all second and fifth graders. This is consistent with the program as set up last year in order that each child be given two tests before leaving the elementary school. These, of course, are valuable, although not con- clusive, in determining how capable a child is academically. The Stan- ford achievement tests given to all pupils in May of each year are helpful in confirming the conclusions of teachers with regard to a pupil's progress or in showing where reconsideration should be given. They also serve, to some extent, a diagnostic purpose.
Our reference room, a partially used storage room converted last February, is gradually being built up and utilized. We now have four different sets of encyclopedia, a set of one hundred biographies, and various other reference type books. The news of the week written on the elementary school level is posted each week in the reference room for the benefit of the children.
The business-social meeting of our newly formed Cole School P.T.A. on Dec. 10, 1958, was most successful. A ham supper followed by a program of Christmas tableaux presented by the children was attended by over 250 people. It was a fine example of cooperation among parents, teachers, and pupils.
157
TOWN OF NORWELL
Open house was again held during National Education Week, No- vember 9-15. We had a wonderful turnout of parents who took this oppor- tunity to see their children's school in operation. The room mothers helped to make this a success as they have done on so many other occa- sions.
It has been the privilege of us, the faculty of Cole School, to have taken part in fostering the development of children in Norwell. We are thankful to all who through their help and cooperation have made our job successful.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM W. HAYS, Principal Grace Farrar Cole School

TOWN OF NORWELL
Report of the School Committtee
To the Tax-Payers of Norwell,
On March 12, 1958, the Norwell School Committtee organized as follows,
Ernest W. Haskins, Jr., Chairman Nellie L. Sparrell, Secretary.
Through the year, the Committee has held it's regular meeting on the second Wednesday of each month, and many special meetings, when necessity required.
At many of these meetings, we have conferred with heads of depart- ments within the system, also organizations and committees without, in an endeavor to adjust our educational system to best serve the Town.
The use of the school buildings and grounds has been granted to town groups for functions, out of school time, for which the buildings are best suited, the cost of extra janitorship being the only charge. The Com- mittee feels that in this way the taxpayer without children in school is getting something for his share of the school tax.
Through the year we have made the necessary repairs so that, at pre- sent, the buildings are in good physical condition. The work of our effi- cient corps of janitors has contributed toward this excellent condition.
With the completion of the Main Street Elementary School addition, another janitor was added to our force in the person of Emil Rosenberg.
Our school population has increased materially during the year, bring- ing with it anxiety for proper housing. The Elementary School addition has somewhat eased the situation on the lower level, but there still remains the High School problem to solve.
The Special High School Planning and Building Committee are ready to report to the Town its findings and recommendation for a new High School. The School Committee urge a careful study of this informa- tion and a whole-hearted backing of the recommendations. We feel that Committee has been very fair in keeping any and all town groups in- formed of their plans and reasons and agrees unanimously that the proposed building is a fine solution for the forseeable future.
The Planning Board requested the School Committee to list what it considered to be the sites where new buildings would be needed in the future. After careful study of the pre-school figures, the seeming centres of new building activity and the location of the proposed South East Expressway, we returned the following list to the Planning Board:
164
ONE HUNDRED NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
1. Pine Street near the residence of Robert Mederos.
2. Grove Street opposite residence of Walter Bennett.
3. Winter Street near residence of Clinton MacCoy.
We suggested that all future school buildings be constructed on land far enough back from the street to allow for building of residences on the street front.
During the year we voted to raise the school entrance age. Beginning this September, 1959; a pupil must be 5 years 8 months of age to enter the first grade.
The Driver Training course has now become a regular and accepted part of our curriculum and has contributed toward better driving in our Commonwealth.
Another Science Fair was held this past year, at which much talent was shown by the exhibitors.
Norwell has joined the Television hook-up of Channel 2 for certain programs. This was accomplished by the payment of 25c per pupil and gives promise of being well worth-while. Three Television sets are to be purchased for the reception of these programs, one for each of our three school buildings.
The Union Committee voted to continue the Superintendency Union, until such time as the expansion in the towns level off and we know what each town wishes. Our appointment last year of Mr. Small as Assistant Superintendent has helped Norwell to put off that day when a full-time Superintendent will be necessary.
The Salary Committee of the Norwell Teachers Club requested the Committee to grant a $300.00 increase in pay, beginning January 1, 1959. After much study and careful consideration, the Committee unanimously voted not to grand the request. However, it was unanimously voted to grant a $200.00 raise across the board beginning September, 1959. The Committee felt an increase was needed, but could not see the way clear to grant the full amount, as all departments of the Town need extra funds this year and the Schools should not ask for more than their share. The Teachers Club requested a reconsideration of this vote, but the School Committee voted unanimously to stand by its original vote, to grant a $200.00 increase across the Board beginning September, 1959. An agreement to have a committee formed to study the merit system of increases was reached for future consideration.
The Committee has sanctioned the plan of the Recreation Committee to improve the area around Hatch Pond, at the Cole School, in order to be in a position to deal with Mr. Shute, who owns the adjacent land. Improvement of this area will greatly enhance the value of the neighbor- hood, as well as furnish additional play space for the pupils.
165
TOWN OF NORWELL
Again, we urge the purchase of the Osborne field which divides two parts of the Main Street Elementary School property. Clearing and developing all the land from the school building back, would provide adequate play ground and in addition, provide a baseball field for the older pupils.

ONE HUNDRED NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
In the fall of 1958, the number of High School students attending Vocational Schools greatly increased, so the Committee appointed Gunvor Armstrong to represent the school committee at the proposed South Shore Regional Vocational School Committee meetings. We hope Nor- well will appoint a permanent committee to attend these South Shore Regional Vocational School meetings. We also hope that Norwell will appropriate a small sum of money to take care of the operating ex- penses and preliminary plans of this Committee. Pupils in vocational schools are taking a variety of subjects: agriculture, wood-working, dress- making, hair-dressing, and auto mechanics. According to latest statistics, Norwell will be paying less toward this school than it is now paying for outside vocational training, due to State Aid.
Your Committee attended a Seminar of six evenings at Boston University, where we learned much of interest in the problems of other communities and their solution. An exchange of ideas is always beneficial.
We are currently working on a set of policies which will be pub- lished later.
In closing, we wish to extend our appreciation to all who in any way have contributed to the work of the year in an effort to provide better schools.

Norwell High School Lunch Program
Since the passage of the National School Lunch Act in June, 1946, the country has witnessed a tremendous growth in the School Lunch Program. We have become aware that a growing child's physical need for proper and adequate food must be continuously satisfied before a teacher can hope to accomplish her purpose in a classroom.
The School Lunch Program operates on a revolving fund. We are reimbursed by the Government for the number of Type "A" lunches we serve to children and for the milk purchased under the Special Milk Program. In return, detailed monthly reports have to be filed with the Boston Office. The menus have to meet their specific re- quirements : namely, that each day the Type "A" lunch must contain 2 oz. of protein, 3/4 cup serving of two or more vegetables or fruit or a combination of the two; vitamin C, 2 tsps. of butter, one slice of enriched bread, 1/2 pint of milk, and vitamin A twice a week. The Special Milk Program affords a child the opportunity to purchase 1/2 pint of whole milk for 3c. We make use of as many as possible of the suplus commodities made available to us by the government.
Norwell's pupil participation has increased along with the greater enrollment. The program is designed as an education in nutritious eating. Please encourage your child to eat with us. The participation of those who can afford to eat well anyway makes it possible for us to serve these necessary food requirements to children who otherwise would go without.
What we learn when we are young tends to persist throughout life. Help us to help your child acquaint himself with a greater variety of nutritious food.

ONE HUNDRED NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Elementary School Addition Building Committee
At the present time the new addition is being put to good use and seems to fit all the specifications.
The new sewerage system is working and seems to be very adequate.
We believe that our job as a building committee was made simpler by the firm of Harold E. Knight Associates, our architects. They have done a very commendable job in planning this addition and getting our dollar value in the constructing.
In view of this we expect to have about eight thousand dollars to return to the Town Treasurer on completion of this project.
