There were several changes in the high school teaching staff during the summer of 1941. Miss Lenore Meehan was appointed to fill the vacancy left in the Commercial Department by Miss Moran. Mr. David Lynch was appointed to teach manual training and mechanical drawing! Mr. Joseph King has substituted for Mr. McGowan in the Science De- partment, and Mr. Richard Miller for Mr. Pearson as principal and teacher in Social Studies. Miss Mary Shea was appointed Art Super- visor suceeding Miss Mercier and Miss Harriet Donehue has suc- ceeded Miss Carabello as Supervisor of Music.


In June, 1941, the high school held the sixth annual commence- ment exercises. The following were presented diplomas by Mrs. May Larrabee, Chairman of the School Board.

In June of 1941, Tewksbury High School was awarded for the sixth consecutive time the Class A certificate issued by the State Department of Education.


As was the case in 1940, the Glee Clubs of the school made an excellent showing at the Music Festival at Plymouth. Although they had severai miles to go, the Freshman-Sophomore Girls' Glee Club and the Junior-Senior Girls' Glee Club made the trip. They were re- warded for their fine performance with A and B ratings.


Another highlight of the extra curricular year was the fine en- tertainment provided by the Senior Play, "What a Life", produced under the capable direction of Miss Groesbeck.


The great demand for employment and industry affected Tewks- bury High School's football team this year. Several of the larger boys were lost to the squad with the result that, from a stand-point of victories, Tewksbury High School did not have a successful season. The loss of the larger boys was compensated for, however, by the opportunity given to smaller and younger students to participate more than would have been possible otherwise. Athletics were not well attended by spectators during the fall of 1941. Hence the income as shown on the appended report was not as large as in some previous years.


The athletic budget for the 1941 season was kept balanced largely due to efforts for rigid economy and the fact that all equipment had been well taken care of and needed few replacements. However, the financing of athletics from game income presents a real problem, especially in years when replacement equipment must be bought in large quantities. It is doubtful with present disturbed conditions of public interest, whether the income from athletics this coming year will be as much as during 1941. Indications have been that it will not be as large.


The athletic teams cooperated in running a huge whist and bridge party to help defray the athletic deficit. The reason for the deficit was a large bill which Lull and Hartford denied had been paid and which the high school had felt for several months was not owing. The bill was finally substantiated and, although due to negligence on the part of Lull and Hartford, entered as it was legally collectable.


Thanks are due to Miss Betty Mulry, who volunteered to coach Field Hockey and to Coach Charles Hazel, who pinch-hit for Mr. McGowan and operated under a limited equipment budget.


I wish to thank the members of the School Committee, Superin- tendent Bean, and the student body for their cordiality and help- fulness which they have given me.


158


I wish to reserve a special word of thanks and appreciation for the faculty. All members have been unstinting in their efforts to co- operate with us who are new-comers and in helping us to adjust our- selves to a new school community to the end that Tewksbury High School will continue to maintain its standard as a fine, efficient, edu- cational institution.


Respectfully submitted,


RICHARD L. MILLER, Acting Headmaster.

January 7, 1942.


Mr. Stephen G. Bean Superintendent of Schools Tewksbury, Mass.


Dear Sir:


Herewith is my report as Supervisor of Music in the Elementary Schools.


The emphasis of the music program in the schools this past year has not deviated from its previous outline of song-singing, tone-quality, and comprehension of music-building and notation; sensing music as a stimulating force having socializing and cultural values, and giving opportunity for delightful expression of the spirit of play and of the imaginative thought of children.


Song-singing: Experience in music itself must precede and ac- company all teaching about music so we have much singing of songs.


Tone Quality: is skill in differentiating 'music' from noise and the ability to produce it; our boys and girls "know" good tone quality and strive to produce it.


Understanding Notation and Music-building is something in which they have developed skill, and have come to take pleasure and pride.


Music is a stimulating force which appeals to children; this we have been proving by the fine attitude of the boys and girls toward the subject. To be greeted by shining faces asking, "Are you coming to us today?" or to hear small hands clapping when you appear is proof that "pleasure in music" has been developed. This is the most im- portant of all our objectives. To develop interest in, love for, and en- joyment of music is our chief task.


The social and cultural values have been offered through projects and programs which also gave opportunity for expression to the play spirit and imagination.


1. The Eighth Grades from all the schools were prepared and presented in a program of music at graduation in June.


2. The North School gave a dramatic musical program the first of June entitled, "Our own United States".


3. Foster School closed its year in music with "A Lollypop Music Contest", held in each grade. This proved a very enjoyable experience. The boys and girls asked for another one.


164


4. The Shawsheen School gave a rather pretentious program of eurythmics and vocal music in the Town Hall in June entitled "Ameri- can Jubilee". The proceeds were used to purchase two pianos for the school.


5. In all three schools there was a rhythm orchestra in the second, third and fourth grades.


6. Music appreciation was enjoyed for a period of six weeks at the North School.


7. For the Christmas program at Shawsheen School the pupils gathered around the dining tables in the new recreation hall and pre- sented an informal program: "Christmas Carols of Many Lands".


8. The North School presented for a Christmas program "The Christmas Story In Song".


Specific aims and goals were given each teacher in January and general objects were given in September, with a view to developing and keeping each grade on its proper level musically. Assignments are given for each month.


The important thing is that all of us, children and teachers, shall have an awareness of music as a vital experience and shall realize that it is a living, moving, developing influence.


Music does have a strong interest an dplace in the school program because of the splendid cooperation and endeavor of the teachers and the fine spirit of willingness to work on the part of the boys and girls, which I very much appreciate and for which I would like to say "Thank You."


May I express my thanks to you, Mr. Bean, for your interest in the work.


Respectfully submitted.


ALICE L. STURTEVANT, Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC


To Mr. Stephen G. Bean and Members of the School Committee. Dear Sirs:


Having had the honor of being appointed Music Supervisor for the Tewksbury High School I take pleasure in submitting my first report. As one of my chief objectives I aim to develop an appreciation and an understanding of the best in music literature. We also try to socialize each student, making him understand the full values of his membership in the musical organization. Also to stimulate students toward a more vital interest in music is of primary importance.


In the girl's chorus we have approximately 90 members and 37 in the boys' chorus. Both groups signed up voluntarily for music train- ing. Each of these classes meet once a week for an hour period. From this group we have a selected mixed chorus of 80 members which re- hearse one half hour a week.


Up to the present time we have presented two musical programs for the school. One in observation of Armistice and Thanksgiving Days and the other in observation of Christmas. At this program a recording of Dicken's Christmas Carol was played. The final portion of each period is given over to music appreciation. In this way we have a bal- anced musical hour.


We are now looking forward to May when we hope to participate in the Massachusetts Festival which is to be held this year at Marble- head Massachusetts.


Starting this year there is to be credit extended to those pupils who wish to come out for orchestra. At present we have 3 violins, 2 trumpets, an accordian and a pianist. From this beginning we hope to stimulate interest along this phase of musical study.


Three months have elapsed since I assumed my new duties and I am looking forward to the months that follow to see the fulfilment of my objectives.


In closing let me extend my sincere appreciation to Mr. Bean and members of the school committee for my appointment.


To Mr. Miller, Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Chandler, Miss Grosbeck and the student body may I express my thanks for their wholehearted interest and helpfulness in the music department.


Respectfully Submitted,


HARRIET G. DONEHUE, Music Supervisor.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF ART


To the Superintendent and School Committee of the Town of Tewks- bury:


The results obtained from my first few months as Art Supervisor in Tewksbury have been most gratifying. During this time, I have endeavored to establish a "working vocabulary" of drawing-to lay the foundations for later, more elaborate work.


In the Grammar Schools we have taken the principles of Design, Representation and Construction and have presented them by apply- ing them to seasonal problems which held the interest of the children. Once the children have become familiar with this vocabulary-each class will be assigned a unit of work, corelated with some phase of school activity and to which each member of the group will make some definite contribution. These projects will be the main feature of the exhibit we plan to have in June.


In the High School we have studied the principles of Design and Color, and are now working on freehand sketching, to which various techniques will be applied. As proof of the work accomplished each member of this group will present a large project, the subject and medium of which will be his own choosing. I have great hopes for this group-and expect to hear much from some of them in the art field after graduation.


Although I've been here but a short time I feel that much progress has been made, none of which would be at all possible without the splendid spirit and wholehearted co-operation of the Superintendent, Principals and the entire teaching staff, for which I am most grateful.


Respectfully submitted,


MARY SHEA,


Supervisor of Art.

SCHOOL PHYSICIAN'S REPORT


To the School Committee of the Town of Tewksbury:


As school physician I make the following report:


During the past year all school children were examined and de- fects recorded. The athletic teams at the High School have also been examined before being allowed in competition. The attendance has been affected rather disastrously by the epidemic of mumps, but the general condition of the children has been exceptionally good. In my opinion the hot luncheons given our children is one of the best expenditures for health that is made. Our diphtheria clinic which we have carried on for several years has resolved itself into a clinic of mostly preschool cases, a very large percent of the children in school have been protected. Our school nurse, Miss Haines has done a most thorough and consci- entious work and has been of great assistance because of her contacts to both the Health and Welfare departments.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE


Mr. Stephen Bean, Supt. of Schools, Tewksbury, Mass.


Dear Sir:


We are endeavoring through the printed page and an organized series of education to teach Health more in a preventive than a cor- rective way. We have been able to add to our textbooks three Health Series of the very latest methods in Health Teaching 1st to 8th grades inclusive. We feel this is the age group where habits are firmly fixed and if we can get proper health material across to the child here, much has been accomplished in making better health in later years.


We have reached our goal among the school age group in the treatment of Toxin-Anti-Toxin against Diphtheria. Practically every child attending the 1941 Clinic was of pre-school age. Many parents continue to bring the little ones in. We are still making many cor- rections of eye and throat defects.


The hot lunch projects have been of untold value-63,647 hot lunches were served the children in 1941. This has taken the place of the hot cocoa and lunch which the majority of the children had to carry because of transportation. The increase in weight and the general improvement of the child has made this project almost in- dispensable. In close cooperation with the Board of Health which has necessitated a great number of home calls the benefits and effects have been worth all this effort. This last draft has proven that there is still much to be done in the field of Health, and I believe this to be one of the ways to help remedy this condition. May these projects which we have all worked so hard to get and which have been of such tremendous value to the child never be discontinued.


We have had two epidemics this year-one of Whooping Cough and one of Mumps. These have entailed a great deal of work mainly be- cause of the fact that this town has been so free from contagion over such a long period of years, that it has not only affected the elementary grades but the high school and some of the parents as well.


With the continued cooperation that we have had from all in- terested sources, we will make this year another one of advancement. The nurse appreciates everything that has been done by every or- ganization and every individual.


Respectfully submitted,


EDITH E. HAINES, R. N., School Nurse.
