REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR
To the School Committee of the Town of Tewksbury:
As Supervisor of Music in Tewksbury, I herewith submit my first report since my appointment in late December of 1949.
My primary objective is to teach the children to love music and to learn to understand and appreciate it for further enjoyment. This is accomplished through singing and listening.
In the elementary grades "beautiful tone quality" and freedom of "rhythmic expression" is stressed as is "music reading" all of which follow along with the children up through the grades.
The high school music classes meet one period each week. We have a girls chorus consisting of sixty voices, a boys chorus of seventy-two voices, and the mixed Special Chorus having sixty- eight voices. The girls chorus and the boys chorus enjoy two-part singing while three and four-part singing is sung by the mixed Special Chorus.
The Seventh and Eighth Grades presented a Memorial Day Exercise on the grounds of the high school singing all the well- known, well-loved Patriotic Songs.
A selected group of girls performed at the Memorial Day Exercises at the Tewksbury Town Hall.
In April, the Seventh and Eighth Grades as well as the high school music students presented "The Little Theater Off Times Square," a variety show, which was well presented for the enjoy- ment of all present.
The entire Eighth Grade class sang "The Green Cathedrals" at the Eighth Grade Graduation Exercises. The girls sang "The Bells of St. Mary's" with Nancy Curtis and Frances Comber as soloists and the boys rendered "Bendemeer's Stream" featuring John Sughrue as the soloist.
The Girls' Glee Club offered "The Lost Chord" and "In a Monastery Garden" at the High School Graduation. Marjorie Brown sang "Lullabye" from 'Jocelyn.'
In December 1950, a Christmas Program representing the
114
Seventh, Eighth, and High School students, featured vocal solos, duets, and choruses. Community singing by the entire assembly was also enthusiastically received. Carols were sung at the Foster and Shawsheen Schools by a special group composed of fourth, fifth, and sixth graders in each school respectively.
The High School Music Supervisors of Greater Lowell, in- cluding Billerica, Chelmsford, Dracut, Lowell, and Tewksbury, are planning to present an augmented group of the finest singers from each high school at a concert to be held possibly at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. Working with us will be Mr. Julius Woessner and the Lowell Philharmonic Orchestra.
A "Pops Concert" is in order for the Music Department's Spring presentation. With the money gained we plan to purchase a portable record player and records which we so urgently need.
I appreciate greatly the kind cooperation and assistance of all my principals and their teachers.
Respectfully submitted,
FLORENCE SAVAS Music Supervisor
