The eighth grade was prepared and presented in a program of music at graduation.
There were "Song-fests" of Christmas Carols at the North and Shawsheen. The music used at the Christmas Assembly at Shawsheen was chosen from class-room assignments.
Definite objectives and goals for each grade are given to teachers as well as monthly assignments of work to be covered.
The fine spirit and attitude of the boys and girls, along with the wholehearted cooperation of the teachers makes possible the realization of the music program. To them, and to Mr Bean for his kind interest, I am very sincerely grateful.
Respectfully submitted,
ALICE L. STURTEVANT, Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Tewksbury High School
January 11, 1943 Tewksbury, Mass.
Mr. Stephen G. Bean and Members of the School Committee:
As Music Supervisor, in Tewksbury High School for the second year it is with utmost sincerity that I submit to you my annual report.
In High School the music department is well represented and our time allotment is very generous. As a subject, music is not required but is a voluntary activity. For an hour each week I have a girl chorus of which there are approximately one hundred students. Following this class I have boys chorus for also one hour in which forty participate. After lunch these two groups are combined in a Mixed Chorus for a half hour period. In our classes we allot part of the time to Community Singing which seems to bring us together in good fellowship. Included in our repertoire are all the patriotic songs of the day. We are also making a study of the American Negro Music. The Negro Spiritual, and Negro Work Songs which is known as the foundation of true American Folk Music. Out of this study we plan to present for you a minstrel show in the true sense of the word. This will be given sometime in the spring. The good old melodies of Stephen Foster, W. S. Hayes and James A. Bland will be woven together into an interesting program that I think will prove its worth.
At the Commencement exercises last June the mixed chorus was heard in two numbers that were well received namely "Dance A Cachucha" by Gilbert & Sullivan and "Nightfall in Granada" by L. Bueno. The girls' chorus sang "Through the Dark the Dreamers Came," by M. Daniels. In the instrumental department we had three violins and one cornet, so for graduation I supplementetd this group with four players from the Wilmington orchestra namely a glockenspiel, two cornets and one flute. Mr. David Lynch played with us thus add- ing to our string section.
In other years I understand there has been a hired orchestra from outside for this function so we felt very proud in having
162
our own 'music. We played "Pomp and Circumstance March" by Elgar for the processional and "Sorella March" by Clerc for the recessional.
The annual concert in May was very well attended and gave us a net profit of $40.00. In the Christmas festival this year the Girls Chorus offered the two well known pieces "Angel Voices Ever Singing" and "Joy to the World." The mixed Chorus sang the ever popular "Jesu Bambino." A special glee club chosen from the Chorus sang, "Hosanna in the Highest" and "The Sleep of the Child Jesus" in conjunction with the Christmas play "Why the Chimes Rang," directed by Miss Doris Groesbeck. This program in its entirety was also presented the first Tuesday in December for the Parent-Teacher Association.
Throughout the year it has been my privilege to attend several meetings directed by various musical Educational clubs. The veil of thought underlying all the discussions seems to be "Music in the war and its effects on our schools," or one might put it "Our School and its effect in the war movement." We know that in the armed service all over the country our government is appropriating thou- sands of dollars for the sponsoring of recreational activity. As part of this great work the boys are brought together under capable leadership in the organization of Glee Clubs, Orchestras and Com- munity Singing Groups. To provide their own entertainment is of great social value in keeping up the morale of our men. We in the schools must provide the necessary foundation for that great work. Educational and Cultural progress must continue in our school program. Hand in hand they build our democracy for whose preservation we are fighting. As time goes on we will see our Col- leges all over the country close one by one. We in the schools especially High School must re-double our efforts on the Liberal Arts. There must be something here when "they" come home.
In closing let me extend my gratitude to Mr. Bean for his sincere understanding and cooperation with the Music Dept. To Miss Katherine Chandler I am deeply grateful for her help and interest which she has shown me. To our new principal, Mr. Herbert E. Hoyt, members of the faculty and student body I extend my `sin- cere gratitude for their cooperation with the music department.
Respectfully submitted,
(signed) HARRIET G. DONEHUE, , Music Supervisor.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF ART
Art today is selling the prosecution of the war to our people: it is selling the need for conservation, for enlisting in the services, for stamping out rumor, for cooperating with civilian agencies, for financially supporting the government and the Red Cross.
This year, along with our local seasonal drawings and handwork, a great part of our program has been related to the children's part in the war effort. They have made drawings of their activities, such as collecting scrap, buying stamps and learning first aid. They have also planned posters for war services. The High School group showed a special aptitude for this particular type of work.
Art is a morale builder. Its related activities develop confidence, good judgment, originality, and skill. Our President has stressed the great need for leisure time activities which strengthen morale. Art activities answer this need. Today, Art Education must do still more. It must deepen our concern for the integrity of the individual. It must share responsibility for shielding children from war mal- adjustments; for preparing adolescents to be useful, active citizens during the war period and following rehabilitation era; for fortify- ing adults to meet the obligations of war. And it has accepted this challenge. It is sharing these responsibilities. Art education is alert! .
I am more than pleased with the results of this year's work. The success of the program has been largely due to the splendid co-operation, interest and efforts of the superintendent and all of the teachers on the staff, both old and new, to whom I am most grateful.
Respectfully Submitted,
MARY SHEA,
Art Supervisor, Tewksbury, Mass.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of the Town of Tewksbury:
As School Physician I will make a brief report of the health status for the past year 1942.
Our school nurse has done her usual fine work in taking children to clinics, visiting homes and following up contagious cases. We have examined all of the children in school and sent home notices of irregu- larities found. The last half of the year we had many contagious cases of the minor group but none of serious nature. Our diphtheria clinic was well attended and our town is now very well protected, altho each spring we are to continue this clinic, particularly for pre-school cases.
HERBERT M. LARRABEE, M. D.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Stephen G. Bean Superintendent of Schools Tewksbury, Massachusetts
Sir:
Like all other committees this year, Tewksbury has had its share of contagion, but we who have had charge of the health work feel that the children have come through with practically no ill effects. This we believe was due largely to the hot lunch program which furnished such a well balanced diet. The children have shown an excellent gain in height, weight and appearance.
As you know we are living in an age of preventive instead of cor -. rective methods in our work. Our Diphtheria and vaccination clinics this year proved our point when nearly two hundred children were im- munized against Diphtheria, approximately fifty per cent were from eight months to five years of age, and seventy-five per cent were vac- cinated with a large per cent of these being of pre-school age. Wish we. might do even better this spring. With so much uncertainty and possi- bilities of unusual things happening in the world today, we must give our boys and girls of all ages every protection possible, and only as the parents co-operate with the health workers can this be accomplished to its fullest extent. -
If all children could have known defects corrected before they enter school in the fall, much less time would be lost during the school year and the children would be in a much better condition to make the grade.
Respectfully submitted,
EDITH E. HAINES, R. N.
School Nurse.
