Two new teachers were made necessary by this arrangement. Mrs. Helen Hollis, a graduate of Lowell State Teachers College, was secured to teach the sixth grade. Mrs. Katherine V. O'Rourke of Lowell was elected to assume charge of the Opportunity Class. She has had previous experience in the teaching of this type of class in Dracut. This plan made it possible to place Mrs. Hobart in charge of the seventh grade only, thus giving an organization with no teacher having parts of two grades in the same room.


The number in the first grade in the Foster School gradually crept up to and surpassed the fifty mark. This was an impossible number for a first grade group. Eventually we pursuaded Mrs. Ruth Anderson, who as Ruth Tingley used to teach in the Shaw- sheen School, to assist Mrs. Christensen.


131


This large first grade together with the unusually great number in this grade in the Shawsheen School is the beginning of the wave mentioned earlier in these pages which will eventually present housing difficulties and a demand for additional teachers.


Present indications are that the addition to the high school building may be ready for use in the fall. This will make room for a limited amount of expansion in the grade school buildings. Be- cause of the nature of these buildings, however, it would be wise to be thinking in terms of a modern consolidated elementary school for the not too far distant future.


Two of the reports which usually appear on following pages will not be included this year. The incumbents in the positions of Art Supervisor and School Nurse have been on the job for such a short period that they are not in a position to submit such reports.


The new Art Supervisor is Miss Eleanor Palmer of Lowell, a graduate of the Massachusetts School of Art. As School Nurse we have one of our local young ladies, Miss Jean Coombes.


From the pupil distribution tables in the back of the report it will be seen that there has been an increase of thirty-five pupils in school enrollment over the same date last year. More than half of these are in the first grades. Even larger numbers are expected in this grade next September.


It is interesting to note in examining the roster of school em- ployees that more than half of the names of regular teachers is followed by (Mrs.). This gives testimony to the truth of the claim that there is a shortage of teachers. Not long ago we had a rule that no married teachers would be employed. What we would do without them under present conditions is beyond my ken. They have certainly proved their worth in the emergency. That they are less efficient than the unmarried has yet to be proved.


Our school lunch programs continue to show their value. They are being conducted in a most satisfactory manner. They are pat- ronized by the vast majority of the pupils. We have not as yet taken advantage of the State School Lunch Program. The fear of the clerical work involved seems to be the chief stumbling block.


The Parent-Teacher Club has continued to function in its usual efficient manner. Its energies are now directed towards raising funds for a school dental clinic. This is a very necessary project. It deserves the support of every parent and citizen.


The Teachers' Club is still working for the adoption of a definite salary schedule. This has been adopted in principal but the de- tails have not as yet been fully settled. The morale of this organi- zation is increasingly good. At their Christmas party a fine show of fellowship was evident. The teacher morale throughout the sys- tem is excellent.


132


RECOMMENDATIONS


1. That consideration be given to the employment of a reme- dial reading teacher. This could be combined with a primary supervisor.


2. That a Supervisor of Physical Education be employed on full or part time.


3. That the work in Vocational Guidance be resumed as soon as the new addition is completed.


4. That the details of a formal salary schedule be completed.


5. That long range planning be commenced for a better type of housing for the elementary school children.


Attention is called to the reports of my associates which are found on the pages which follow.


CONCLUSION


For the continued and continuous cooperation of every person in the system I render due appreciation.


To the members of the School Committee is extended sincere appreciation of aid and comfort.

REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR


To Mr. Stephen G. Bean and Members of the School Committee Tewksbury, Massachusetts


Madam and Gentlemen:


Herewith follows my annual report as music supervisor:


Elementary School: Through previous yearly reports I have outlined our music course, and set forth our goals. All these still obtain. Each grade has its own definite, special work and goals. The objective of the entire music program is the enrichment of the individual life of each participant as well as the total music pro- gram of the schools.


STUDY: Our work has three aspects,


1. We sing just for the joy of singing. For our present parti- cipation, and for future participation, we endeavor to make music a pleasurable experience. Public amusements bringing multitudes together to kindle with one emotion, to share the same innocent joy, have a humanizing influence and among those bonds of society perhaps no one produces so much unmixed pleasure as music.


2. We work to develop greater skill and power in expression in music. Wherever you may go in education circles today you will hear about the strides and advances that have been made in Public School music. Of necessity, one is bound to come to the conclusion that music, which was once considered as a "fill in" course, has now become a standard educational course in all pro- gressing and progressive school systems. We treat our work in music as conscientiously as we do other subjects because


3. We keep in mind the life values to be realized from music study,-which are, personal values for character formation; good taste and broadening appreciation; and increasing pleasure through greater skill and power.


Our recent advance step was the request for music work books. The teachers asked for something concrete and definite to put in the hands of the boys and girls, or from which they themselves could present lessons. The fact that these books are available is indicative of how music in the Public School is regarded at the present time. A few years ago they would not have been obtain- able.


PROGRAMS: The Foster and Shawsheen pupils participated in a benefit program of music under the auspices of the P.T.A. in


134


May. Music Matinees were enjoyed by all grades in the Spring and at Christmas week. The Ella E. Fleming School had its usual yearly program in June. The eighth grade provided the music for their graduation program. Splendid Rhythm Orchestras were en- joyed in all schools.


The work at Shawsheen School has been hindered and ham- pered due to the shortened periods. No music has been taught in the eighth grade except on the day the supervisor is in that school, which is once in two weeks. It is unfortunate but there seems to be no help for it.


High School: In January there were three regular music clubs- Girls', Boys,' and a Mixed Chorus. A small group of advanced singers met once a week after school and special practice was given to gifted young people who desired help in voice training. These groups, together, presented the opera of "Pinafore," by Gilbert and Sullivan, in concertized form in April. In May a group of thirty girls and a soloist provided music for the Memorial Day exercises held in the Town Hall. The combined music clubs pro- vided the music for the graduation program. When you consider that each club meets for one forty-five minute music period a week, this was a tremendous amount of work for these young people.


In September we began our school year with only two music clubs, i.e. a Girls' Glee Club and a Mixed Chorus. We miss the boys' club because it robs them of opportunity for enlarging their skill in the use of their voices. The "changing voice" of boys requires individual attention and patient, slow handling which is not possible in mixed chorus work. Our small group and soloist class were soon brought into being. All these classes were com- bined for the Christmas Assembly program.


Throughout the system good work is being achieved. This is possible because of the fine spirit of cooperation which exists. When I wish to express my gratitude for all this good work I do not know where to begin. The children and young people are patient and work hard to meet my requirements; the teachers could not be more conscientious and make my work with them a real pleasure. Miss Chandler keeps us happy and encouraged, and she is really invaluable to me. I am truly grateful to the Principals for their interest and effort in behalf of the music program, and to Mr. Bean for his interest and help.


Respectfully submitted,


ALICE L. STURTEVANT Music Supervisor

REPORT OF THE HEAD MASTER TEWKSBURY HIGH SCHOOL January 1949


To the School Committee of the Town of Tewksbury:


It is a pleasure to submit herewith my second annual report as Headmaster of Tewksbury High School.

AUDIO-VISUAL EDUCATION-The school's 16 millimeter moving projector, the Dual-Purpose still projector, and the radio remain in constant use. Films rented from the Boston University Film Rental library and free films from the Modern Talking Picture Service in New York have been scheduled to complete an extensive program of class room films for the school year. The radio is in daily use. In an attempt to establish a film library at the school, three sets of inexpensive 35 mm. film strips have been purchased. These films have a large influence on the interests, attitudes, appreciations, activities and habits of pupils. The radio, as well as the other auditory devices, makes an important contribution to the education of both boys and girls.


VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE-In place of the Career Day held a year ago, the school has engaged speakers in various fields of endeavor to speak to large groups at different times during the year. Furthermore, many field trips have been made to nearby factories, businesses, hospitals and similar establishments. Inas- much as the advantages and potentialities of the different pro- fessions, businesses, and occupations may be presented to a greater number of students than by the afore mentioned method, this procedure has proven most effective. By these various methods of exploration students are presented with true facts which are material aids in helping them to prepare for advanced study or choose vocations in which they are most likely to be successful and happy.


PHYSICAL EDUCATION-The outstanding accomplishments of our athletic teams run true to form. Although, no champion- ships were won, our boys basketball team finished the season in second place in the Lowell Suburban League. In the post season tournament at Malden, the team reached the "finals" in its class. On the night of May 11th, the annual "Gym Night," sponsored by the Tewksbury Parent-Teacher Association, was presented. The boys' and girls' gym classes under the direction of Coach Hazel and Miss Kathryn Chandler rendered a most commendable per- formance on the rings, parallel bars and ropes. An intricate dance by members of the girls' gym class was a feature of the evening.

MUSIC-In lieu of the Annual Concert, the combined Music Clubs presented "H. M. S. Pinafore" by Gilbert and Sullivan in concert form at the school auditorium during the spring term. The cast of this highly successful presentation included the following:

No little credit for the success of this concert, the first of its kind in the history of the school, goes to the diligent, painstaking, and untiring efforts of our music supervisor, Mrs. Sturtevant. Miss Chandler, Miss Swartz, Miss Lois Winters, and all others who assisted are to be commended for the cooperative efforts expended.


LUNCH PROJECT-The Hot Lunch Project under the capable management of Mrs. Earl Sands and Mrs. Elizabeth Brazee was resumed in September. Although the project is available to all, approximately half of the student body avail themselves of hot lunches daily. These nourishing and well-balanced meals are obtainable at a very low cost.


DRAMATICS-During the Spring Term, the Dramatic Club presented four one-act plays; namely, "High School Daze," "The Farmer's Daughter," "Shock of His Life," and the "Bishop's Candle- sticks." At our Christmas assembly, the one-act play "Twas the Night Before Christmas," was presented before the student body. All these plays were under the direction of our dramatics teacher, Miss Rita Sullivan.


CURRICULUM CHANGES-In September, Psychology was introduced as a regular five-period-a-week prepared subject. Courses in Sociology and Economics were added as special one- period-a-week unprepared subjects. These liberal additions have proved most beneficial, and are in keeping with the trend of orienting our pupils socially, morally, intellectually and spiritually.


141


GRADUATES-Members of the June graduating class have been admitted to seven colleges. Schools being attended are Boston University, Lowell Textile, Vermont Junior College, North- eastern University, Lowell Teachers' College, New England Con- servatory of Music, and the Bay Path Institute. Six graduates who have chosen nursing as a career are presently studying at Lowell General Hospital and the Maclean Hospital at Waverly, Massachusetts. Two others have joined the armed forces.


FACULTY CHANGES-Only one change in the regularly em- ployed staff took place during the year. In February, Miss Patricia Reynolds of Lowell received a temporary appointment to fill the position vacated by Miss Louise Archambault who had requested a leave of absence because of ill health. The seriousness of Miss Archambault's illness necessitated intermittent hospitalizations which terminated with the disheartening news of her death in September. The loss of this teacher to whom we had become affectionately attached in her short tenure is one we most sincerely lament.


Upon the opening of school in the fall, the regularly employed staff remained intact. However, subsequent changes were made among our supervisors. Miss Elinor Palmer, replaced Mrs. Evelyn Anderson, our Art supervisor and Mrs. Althea Knox, our school nurse who resigned, was succeeded by Miss Jean Coombes.


STUDENT ACTIVITIES


Our customary extensive extra-curricula activities program included the following:


Boys' football, basketball and baseball.


Girls' basketball.


Publication of our senior class Year Book under the direction of Miss Stanley and Miss Barrows.


Four publications of our school paper, 'Hi-Lights' under the direction of Miss Swartz.


Dramatics, Art, Music, and Public Speaking.


Dances and socials sponsored by the four different classes.


Student Council.


Solicitations for the Lowell Community Chest Fund, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Tewksbury Tuberculosis, and the March of Dimes campaigns.


142


Participation in the above activities grant a larger percentage of students an opportunity to participate in the major activities of the school, to obtain more easily a unified school spirit, to develop a greater number of school leaders, and to discover their respective abilities and aptitudes in these fields.


CONCLUSION-The loyal support and the cooperative spirit of the School Committee, Mr. Bean, the teachers, and the students is most appreciative. It would be an impossible task to mention individually the teachers, parents, and groups who have contri- buted to the welfare of the high school in any way, but they may rest assured that we, who are engaged in the education of the youth of Tewksbury, are deeply appreciative of their efforts.

LAWRENCE R. McGOWAN Headmaster
