Personnel
Quantitatively, the change referred to is glaringly obvious: the 1964 Annual Report listed a total school enrollment of 1,690 students and a professional staff of 92. As of October 1968, Norwell had 2260 students, a 35 percent increase, with a staff of 139, a 51 percent increase. And the end is not yet in sight.
Of more significance than numbers, however, are the qualitative changes which have been taking place. In 1964 fifteen professional staff members, or 16 percent of the staff, had graduate degrees. This year forty-nine teachers, or 35 percent have graduate degrees, with a number of others working toward advanced degrees. One of our Coordinators, Mr. Stephan- sky, has been granted a half year's leave of absence to pursue advanced studies in social studies at Boston University. Two other staff members have similar requests pending.

It need hardly be pointed out that degrees do not insure quality teach- ing - we have many non-graduate degree teachers in Norwell who could compete successfully with any teacher in the State - nonetheless, for a system desirous of improving and updating its program, knowledge in depth is essential. There are teachers in this system whose knowledge, coupled with the experience we have, places us in an excellent position to begin developing new and improving old programs. As a consequence Curriculum Development Committees have been organized to begin actual formulation of curricula in all areas.
Curriculum Development
Mr. Di Sabatino, the Science Coordinator, is continuingfor another year the I.P.S. science program he introduced last year in the High School, and the Earth Science program in the Junior High has proved thus far highly successful under the able direction of Mr. George Lessard, who spent another summer at the University of Houston taking advanced courses in this area.
Mrs. Paradise has been investigating the Nuffield Mathematics Project from England for elementary grades. Though relatively unknown in this country, it is considered by many mathematics experts as one of the finest inductive approaches yet developed. Whether or not this office will request the School Committee for permission to try this program in our elementary schools will depend on the final decision of Mrs. Paradise and her com- mittee.
The Fenton Program, introduced by Mr. Stephansky and his depart- ment a few years ago, has proved most effective and will continue as part of the social studies program. The department is also looking into another inductive approach created by Harvard and working on units on the history of black people to be integrated into our present Social Studies Program. Miss Nancy Glidden, a former Peace Corps Worker, in Uganda, Africa, will be responsible for supplying data on the origins and historical background of black Americans.
Our Foreign Language Department, which consists of French, German, and Latin, has begun broadening its horizons: Miss Cashman is intro- ducing her Latin classes to spoken Latin; Mrs. Brockman is making partial use of a French series, Mauger, published and used in France, and Mr. Sezak, our German teacher, is introducing conversational Rus- sian to some of our High School students. Should the experiment prove successful, we shall ask the School Committee to permit us to introduce Russian as a credit course next year.
A creative writing course, conducted by Miss Paula Alexander, was introduced by the English Department this year in an attempt to harness and nurture the abundance of creative talent in our High School. The response has been gratifying and augers well for the future. Mr. Ryan, the new Coordinator, is reviewing our present program with his teachers.
Mrs. Craig, the Reading Supervisor, in conjunction with first grade and physical education teachers, has developed an excellent and highly ef-
fol

fective program for perceptually handicapped children. Parents whose children are involved in the program have been periodically briefed by Mrs. Craig as to their children's progress. We can be justly proud of her and our teachers' efforts in this area. In order to avail ourselves of pos- sible State assistance, Mrs. Craig has developed a system-wide program for perceptually handicapped children. Should this program be approved by the Department of Education, Norwell will be entitled to fifty percent reimbursement for materials and salaries.
Of all the changes which have taken place these past several years, none will have the long-term consequences or impact of our new kinder- gartens - four in number, with a total enrollment of over 200. Should these classes prove as effective as we hope, much in our present elemen- tary curriculum and methods of teaching will have to be updated, ac- celerated, and/or altered. There is little doubt in my mind that aspects of our kindergarten program will contribute appreciably to the present in- vestigation being conducted into early childhood education and that some pioneer work on this level is being done in our public schools that has rarely, if ever, been done in this country. For example, our Montessori type kindergarten is but one of two in the entire country. The effects of this program alone could have truly far-reaching consequences.
Utilization of Facilities
To accommodate the increasing number of students in our schools, the following alterations were made this past summer:
1. The old gymnasium in the Cole School was remodeled to house and serve two kindergartens.
2. The health room in the High School was divided into two sections, one of which is now a remedial reading room, the other an in- firmary.
3. What was formerly the teachers' room is now a Latin classroom.
4. The shop adjacent to the wood-working shop, and once a storage area, has been made into an office area for our Curriculum Co- ordinators and a teachers' room.
5. What was euphemistically known as a teachers' room in the Junior High is now a remedial reading classroom.
Needless to say, until some resolution of what the Town plans to do about school construction is forthcoming, we shall have to continue trying to find space for our children. In terms of next year, for example, we shall have to move the High School shop over into the Junior High and run both programs from that shop. The High School shop will be divided into two classrooms and with the present Coordinators' office - they'll have to be housed somewhere else - we shall be able to provide three more "classrooms" from the increased enrollment. The following year, we shall have to suspend our hot lunch program and make three more class- rooms of the cafeteria and/or purchase portable classrooms.

As you are already aware, it is my hope that the town's people will vote to construct a new high school. This possible solution is based on the conviction that such a vote would be both educationally and eco- nomically in the Town's best interest. If such an eventuality should ma- terialize, we could then make the present High School a Junior High and remodel the present Junior High to serve as an elementary school, pos- sibly a grade five and six facility. Such utilization of this building would alleviate for several more years the crowded conditions presently con- fronting us in our elementary schools and put off any major construction for some time.
The continued influx of new families and the proposed new housing developments are not going to lessen the community's problem. The facts are only too obvious: with each new family moving in, we have more children, who, in turn, require more space.
Building Program
With the appointment of The Architects Collaborative to draw up com- parative plans for an addition or free-standing high school, a major step has been taken toward a successful resolution of the school housing prob- lem. Alternate sites have been selected, the architects are working on plans, and this office is working in close harmony with all concerned to provide our citizens with as detailed and reasonable a presentation as possible for the next Town Meeting.
The significance of their vote cannot be underestimated. It will literally determine the course of Norwell's educational program for decades to come.
Negotiations
We are entering for the third consecutive year into negotiations with the Educational Association of Norwell. The optimism with which I con- cluded my last report to the Committee regarding this question has not diminished. It is becoming obvious that as more and more of our teachers become actively involved in their Association, issues other than time and money are becoming more prominent.
Conclusion
The single most encouraging fact of which we can be justly proud is the exceptionally high caliber of many of our teachers. The new teachers who have come to Norwell these past several years and joined forces with some of the talented "veterans" are developing into a staff which can make Norwell the equal of any system on the South Shore and one day the State. This is no idle boast. They are talented, dynamic, committed, and love teaching - all the ingredients for which any adminis- trator dreams.
That we have weaknesses and gaps goes without saying. These we shall have to rectify. The important thing is that we have the potential. We must do everything humanly possible to keep those teachers we want in

Norwell and provide them with the kind of environment which will make their task a rewarding and fulfilling experience. No other profession will ever exert as much influence on our children as our teachers. It is im- perative that we provide our community with the kind of teachers who will assist us and our children in becoming truly human, who will help actualize all the potential of which they are capable. When all is said and done, there is nothing of greater importance in life. It is a most worthy commitment.
I cannot conclude this year's report without extending my sincere ap- preciation to other Town agencies for their assistance and cooperation. Mr. Harry Chase, our Town Manager, has been especially helpful to this office and its personnel.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. Richard C. Hamilton Superintendent of Schools Norwell, Mass.
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
Please accept my annual report as School Physicianfor 1968 as follows:
With the help of the nurses and physical education teachers we are still able to complete examinations for all high school students. This enables us to screen any disabilities for the competitive sport teams as well as the several intramural programs. There is practically 100% participation.
Physical examinations are also done in the eighth and fourth grades, and supplemented in the first grade and kindergarten when a record has not been initiated by the family doctor.
Immunizations have proven both more effective and complete.

ar

The law now requires all immunizations and this has been quite effective with the aid of Board of Health clinics.
A new safe and effective mumps vaccine should be available shortly through the Board of Health for the Junior High School.
Sanitation of all the buildings and grounds appears to be quite ade- quate.
I approve the efforts for a Drug Abuse Education Program and urge that this be given high priority.
The athletic teams are still doing remarkably well on poor antiquated and borrowed playing fields.
As our school population grows I appreciate the continued enthusiasm and emphasis on "health".
My thanks to all who help.
Sincerely, Raymond G. Vinal, M.D.

Last year this program was 100% financed by the Federal Government but due to a change in policy, the costs for this year's program was fully paid by the local school district.
