Miss Katheryn Chandler has been conducting the girls gymnasium class. Mr. Charles Hazel has worked with the boys in a physical conditioning program. This phase of education is required of all students unless they are physically incapacitated. The boys and girls gym classes presented exhibitions before a spring meeting of the Parent-Teachers Organization and both classes demonstrated the effectiveness of the physical education program.

VISUAL EDUCATION-During the spring' of 1945, the students of Tewksbury High School conducted a magazine subscription drive. The profits from this undertaking were invested in a movie camera which the students can use to take pictures of athletic events or similar student activities. It is hoped that when the supply of film becomes more plentiful the students will be able to maintain a living history of their school life. The student-owned movie projector was used several times a month to present educational and entertainment films to the student body. The entire cost of this program is being borne by the students. Because Visual Education is recognized as an essential part of any educational program, a provision for its existence in our high school should be made. A recommendation for an expense budget to cover the cost of film rental and transportation, is hereby made.


ART-The art department, under the supervision of Mrs. Evelyn Andersen, produced art work for the Junior Red Cross. The students of this department also gave an art exhibition in the spring of 1945 which consisted of a large display of beautiful works of art. A full sized oil painting was made by James Tatseos and presented to the school.


MUSIC-On May 11, 1945 the annual concert was given under the direction of Miss Olive Littlehale. In the fall of 1945 the P.T.A. sponsored band was organized under the direction of Mr. Harold MacDonald of Methuen. Rehearsals and private lessons are given in the high and other schools in the town. In the short time that the band has been meeting it has already acquired the ability to play in unison.


DRAMA-The school play "JIMMINY CRICKET" was given May 4, 1945. This presentation was under the direction of Miss Rita Sullivan.


LIBRARY-The Student Council Library Committee has com- pleted plans which call for a complete card system for the school library. This will permit students to borrow books from the library and take them home for study or, in some cases, for the pleasure of reading entertaining literature. Gifts from Mrs. Franklin Spaulding and Mr. Melvin Rogers added many worth while volumes to our inventory this year. A budget has been set up by the School Com- mittee which insures the addition of worth while literature. The library showed a definite improvement in the past year.

This report was audited by Miss Katheryn Chandler.


The above report presents the financial picture of the athletic situation in Tewksbury High School. It reflects the end of gas rationing and a resumption of normal attendance.


A sports record in all activities again shows that our students are capable of doing better than average work against much larger schools. This speaks well for the quality of instruction in this department.


NATIONAL WAR FUND DRIVE-The high school students acted as agents for the Greater Lowell War Fund Drive. Our students accepted this responsibility and once again proved that they were capable of doing good work in this difficult field.


THE YEAR BOOK-An improved "SCROLL", the Senior annual, was produced for the second time under the direction of Miss Catherine Maguire.


145


THE JUNIOR RED CROSS-The Art department, the Home Economics department, and the Manual Training department all contributed projects for service hospitals. The students gave their time and energy in a truly commendable fashion.


THE SCHOOL MAGAZINE-Each year finds the "Hi-Lights", under the direction of Miss Lillian Swartz, an improved project. This year a hard paper cover has been used to give the magazine a more presentable appearance.


TEACHING STAFF


-


CHANGES-Miss Emily Lafebvre joined the staff in replacement of Miss Arline Moore in our Home Economics department. Miss Elsie Barrows has taken the place of Miss Mary Keefe in Social Studies. Mr. V. J. Avedisian has taken the place of Mrs. Vera Allen in the Science department. The teacher turnover for 1945 was exactly the turnover of 1944.


CONCLUSION-The achievement of the school for the past year has been good. Scientific evidence was presented in the form of tests to proclaim the effectiveness of the program of studies in this high school. Reports reaching the school from recent graduates who have entered institutions of higher learning have been uniformly excellent. A fine spirit of cooperation is evident between the students, the faculty, the townspeople, the School Committee and Mr. Stephen Bean.

REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR


January 5, 1945


To the School Committee Tewksbury, Massachusetts,


Stephen G. Bean, Superintendent.


Madam and Sirs:


Herewith is my report as music supervisor in the Elementary Schools.


The purpose and function af school music is to cause the rank and file of boys and girls `to develop and increase their natural in- terest in music, and to provide opportunity for growth in a larger and better and more intelligent appreciation of good music. That we have achieved, somewhat, in this purpose was evidenced by the type of music used in our graduation program. These selections were the choice of the boys and girls. They recognize and like good music.


The main purpose of extra-curricular activities in schools is to prepare the pupils for life in a democracy. From well-directed extra- curricular activities pupils learn to cooperate with their fellows. They also develop their own special abilities. Cooperative enterprises such as the staging of concerts and musical plays contribute a great deal to complete the education of the young person, and teaches them by concrete ways what it feels like to work with people of all types in a common enterprise. This was demonstrated this year in the programs given by our three schools and by the graduation program. Those programs spoke for themselves. In artistry and poise, self-confidence and assurance, as well as good voice placement and control, they were excellent. We have come a long way when we can say that the matter of discipline did not arise because of the splendid behavior, interest and cooperation of the boys and girls. The pleasure which they derived and gave to their audiences is a splendid step in the right direction. The time spent in preparation was cultural and educational, not lost time.


Usually I give simply a sentence of appreciation to the teachers at the close of my report. This year I would like to especially com- mend them in a larger way for their interest and genuine enthusiasm in carrying out the assignments and suggestions given. I have


148


worked out a course in music to meet the needs of each school and the teachers obligate themselves to it cheerfully and diligently. They work hard to meet the ends sought and evidence great desire to please the supervisor.


While we recognize the music course as an extra-curricular activity we are also treating it as an honest subject to be mastered and understood. That we are achieving this is indicated in the skill and understanding with which our boys and girls handle their music. They read well, have good tonal quality and know what it means to have it because we have "tuned" their ears to it. They have also shown growth in their sensing of rhythm and have a real under- standing of time. The shyness or reticence which we formerly en- encountered no longer exists. They gladly do the work assigned them and are anxious to show what they know and can do. Each child willingly sings alone regardless of how poor the voice may be and derives pleasure in doing it. Their attitude is all that could be desired.


We have rhythm orchestras in all schools which are well worth the time given to themt


To put into writing all the happy and satisfactory musical ex- periences of the different grades and schools this past year is quite impossible. Our music course is most surely making its impressions and having its effect on our boys and girls.


I am very grateful to the teachers for all the goodwill and effort which they have given to me. To the boys and girls for their fine spirit of cooperation I would say "Thank you."


I would also express my appreciation to Mr. Bean for his interest and many kindnesses.


Respectfully submitted,


ALICE L. STURTEVANT, Music Supervisor

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


To the School Committee of the Town of Tewksbury:


·


I will make the following brief report. We have had no serious outbreak of contagious diseases to interfere with attendance. The examination of all the children was completed and all defects re- corded by the school nurse. Notices were sent to the families and it is then left to their discretion. Mrs. Knox is doing a very fine work in taking children to the clinics and to North Reading for chest plates. As in previous years the children have been immunized against diphtheria and small pox. We are hoping that with the return of the dental men we can start again on the dental clinic. I wish to remind the parents that we are very anxious to get as many as possible of the pre school children immunized this year. Please register your child with the school nurse by April 1st at least.


Respectfully submitted,


HERBERT M. LARRABEE, M.D.,


School Physician

REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR


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


The motivating force behind any music course should be an eagerness to find more joy and beauty in life through music-music to sing, music to play, music to listen to quietly.


With this in mind it has been my purpose to give the students of the High School an abundant opportunity to sing and to listen to the best in music.


We have three glee clubs at present-a Girls' Glee Club, a Boys' Glee Club and a Mixed Choral. Group. Membership in the first two clubs is voluntary with the exception of the Freshman to whom it is obligatory. Membership in the mixed group is by invition based on musical ability.


Last year a small group of students became interested in start- ing an orchestra. They participated in the annual concert and were well received. With the assistance of students of the Wilmington High School Band, the ensemble played at the High School Graduation exercises. This year nothing has been done along that line as it has been absorbed by 'Mr. MacDonnell who has formed what will become a Tewksbury Band unit.


Feeling a need for the development of more "active" listening, I have started a small group in music appreciation. This group has been able to attend two Youth Concerts in Boston, arranged and directed by Wheeler Beckett and played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. There will be two more such concerts which we hope to attend.


With the kind permission of Mr. Lynch, I have purchased music books up to the amount of fifty dollars for the school library. This is a very good beginning, but it is a small proportion of what a really adequate music library should contain. Some of these books were used by students for book reviews in English and for which credit was given in the Music Appreciation course.


151


A Thanksgiving program was prepared, but on account of the inclemency of the weather it was not presented. The girls from the mixed choral group, with the assistance of girls from Miss Sullivan's group, presented a fine carol program a part of which consisted of carol singing by the entire student body.


The three choral groups are preparing an interesting concert which we expect to present in May. This will provide a good oppor- tunity for the public to show, by its attendance, its interest in the music of the High School.


In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Bean, Mr. Lynch, Miss Chandler and to others who in any way have shown interest in my work.


Respectfully submitted,


OLIVE LITTLEHALE, Music Supervisor

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF ART


January 1, 1946


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


Dear Sir:


I have the honor to submit my first report as Supervisor of Art for Tewksbury Schools. Although I have been working with the children of Tewksbury but a short time I am very confident that we are showing progress.


The high school have two hours of elective drawing each week. Figure drawing, nature sketching, illustration and Red Cross projects comprised our accomplishments.


Each grade is visited one period in two weeks, at this time I teach a lesson, invariably starting a project that expands into other lessons. Each grade teacher is given suggestions and topics for creative lessons and art appreciation. The creative lesson may be illustrating "Hickory Dickory Dock" or "The Little Red Hen" for Grade 1; a holiday celebration "What I saw Hallowe'en for Grade 3. This lesson when approached correctly brings out hidden talent and develops shape and color sense. Our art appreciation lessons cover a graded list of the old masterpieces, as "Feeding Her Birds" by Mlilet for Grade 1. The value of art appreciation is that it cor- relates readily with English, History and Geography.


Individual school exhibits were held at the High School, Flemings School and Shawsheen School on occasions when parents, friends and teachers congregated.


In conclusion may I express sincere gratitude for your under- standing kindness and loyalty, Mr. Bean, making my first year in Tewksbury a memory pleasant to remember.


Respectfully submitted,


EVELYN R. ANDERSEN.
