REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


Mr. Peter F. Perry Superintendent of Schools Westford, Massachusetts


Dear Mr. Perry:


I am submitting my report as School Physician for the year ending December 31, 1954.


I have made the usual physical examinations on all children in every other grade beginning with the first grade. Children in the other grades have also been examined when referred by the teachers,


As has been done in the past several years, I have administered special examinations to the high school and elementary students who par- ticipate in athletics to make certain that they are in proper physical con- dition for such activities. I also attended the football games in my ca- pacity as school physician during the 1954 season. X-rays were taken of a number of these students and some were referred to Lowell Hos- pitals for further X-rays and treatment.


A large number of emergency cases were referred to me by the Prin- cipals of the various schools and these were treated at the Abbot Wor- sted Company Hospital. The cases were for minor medical and surgical conditions.


.


I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the continued fine cooperation of the Board of Health Nurse, teachers, and parents.


Respectfully submitted,


DWIGHT W. COWLES, M. D.

A diabetic detection program was carried on during diabetic week in November. Diabetic tests were offered to all children in grades 8 and 9. In all, 82 tests were made and we were pleased to find that all were negative.


I would like to express my appreciation to you, your teaching staff, and the school physician for the cooperation and assistance I have re- ceived at all times.

REPORT OF PENMANSHIP SUPERVISOR


Mr. Peter F. Perry Superintendent of Schools Westford, Massachusetts


Dear Mr. Perry:


I am pleased to submit the following report on the operation of the handwriting program in your schools for the school year 1953-1954.


In the initial handwriting tests administered to your pupils in Sep- tember 1940, 20% received a grade of "A" (Excellent); 8% received a grade of "B" (Good) ; and 72% were scored less than "B". Handwriting certificates were awarded to 92% of your graduates.


During the school year we graded approximately 6500 formal and 19,500 informal handwriting samples for your pupils. A formal test was administered at four teaching-week intervals and a report was fur- nished each teacher giving a careful diagnosis of the handwriting of each pupil in the room.


We furnished the following instructional materials :- teachers' out- lines, pupil folder outlines, room motivation certificates, handedness tests, individual handwriting certificates for pupils who qualified, term envelopes, seals, etc.


My supervisors join with me in expressing our appreciation for the splendid cooperation we have received from you and your teachers at all times. We are very pleased with the results obtained in your schools.


Respectfully submitted,


W. L. RINEHART Director


143


REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR :


Mr. Peter F. Perry Superintendent of Schools Westford, Massachusetts


Dear Mr. Perry:


I hereby submit to you the annual music report.


The primary aim of the elementary music program should be a good musical experience for the child. I try to accomplish this with a fivefold program, namely, singing, listening, rhythm, creating, and the acquisition of basic skills. All of this should add up to a high standard of performance when a program is presented.


A number of programs have been presented in the elementary schools so far. Cameron School gave a special program to raise money for the United Fund. Each of the elementary schools gave a Christmas pro- gram.


On the junior high level glee clubs have been organized. Sargent School glee club presented one of the most professional Christmas pro- grams I have ever had the opportunity of conducting.


The materials in the elementary grades are complete except that there should be a record library. Listening to good music is essential because a high standard of performance can only be attained when the children have heard good performances.


Due to the present overcrowded situation in the Academy there is only one high school music class, glee club. This only meets once a week. The first semester I confined it to girls only. We gave a Christmas Can- dlelight Service. The second semester it will be open to both boys and girls and a spring program is planned.


There is a bad lack of materials on the high school level. There is only one set of suitable music books and the octavo music is inade- quate. The only way a suitable high school curriculum can be developed is with more time and better facilities.


This is my first year in Westford and I want to thank those who have co-operated with me to make the music program a successful one.


Respectfully submitted,


AUGUSTE BROADMEYER

For the Year Ending December 31 1954


REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE J. V. FLETCHER LIBRARY


January 1, 1955


The trustees of the J. V. Fletcher Library herewith submit their an- nual report for 1954, including the report of the librarian.


The following quotation may be of interest for it expresses what we hope our own library may fulfill-


"I am the Public Library-


I am opportunity.


I am the continuation school for all.


I am the storehouse of knowledge in this town.


I am supported by the people for the people.


I have books for all tastes, needs and creeds.


I am free to the public to know all there is to know about their work.


I open my doors as a great public mental recreation ground for their leisure hours."


Newcomers to the town will find the library has an informal at- mosphere where friend meets friend and acquaintance is broadened. Do let us be of service.


Early last year we were forced to accept the resignation from the Library Board of William C. Roudenbush who moved in the spring to Keene, N. H. to be near his brother. Mr. Roudenbush became a trustee in 1924, succeeding Charles O. Prescott, both men serving us faithfully and efficiently for periods of thirty years. Because of their regret at losing Mr. Roudenbush from the Board, Mr. Taylor and Miss Howard asked him to attend one more meeting at the library. With Miss Day being present, it became a farewell party with ice cream, small cakes and cookies being served. A beautiful bouquet of jonquils was sent home to Mrs. Rouden- bush.


In June at a meeting of the trustees and selectmen acting in con- junction, Mr. John A. Rennie was elected to fill the vacancy on the Board.


This year the lantern over the library entrance was repaired and painted and electric outlets were installed in the reading and conversation rooms, so lights could more easily be used in the front windows at Christ- mas time. A break in the colored glass in one of the windows was also repaired. A new rug was purchased to cover the place in front of the counter where the old register had been. We think it adds greatly to the appearance of the library.


148


The trustees and librarian attended a meeting of the Wachusett group at Lancaster in May and later the same group were present at the Merrimack Valley Library Association meeting in Lowell. Another meet- ing in the fall was enjoyed in Ipswich.


To carry on repairs and the necessary work of the library the trustees ask for the following appropriation, viz .:


1. The sum of thirty-eight hundred ($3,800.00) dollars.


2. The receipts from the dog licenses in 1954.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN


January 1, 1955


To the Trustees of the J. V. Fletcher Library:


The librarian herewith submits her thirty-seventh annual report. Westford has now had a public library for 95 years and has occupied the present building for 58 years. The library used one room in the new town hall after 1871. Previous to that the books had been kept in private homes.


The circulation at the main library has greatly increased, being more than the total circulation for last year. For the first time in many years over 200 books were borrowed in one day. At present there are no deposit stations in the villages. If there is a need expressed and a suit- able place can be found we would be glad to make arrangements for them. Book deposits are still taken to the classroom teachers who desire them so that the children have some books available.


Adult non-fiction is again very popular. Biography is still the first choice with 653 books borrowed but the preference of the other subjects is quite different. Travel is second with 603; Useful Arts (engineering, agriculture, medicine, etc.) next with 512; Fine Arts (antiques, amuse- ments, art, music, etc.) 402; followed by History with 331; while Science and Social Sciences are tied with 290 books each.


Three classes have visited the library this fall with their teachers- the 6th grade of Cameron School with Miss Michalides; the 7th grade of the center with Mrs. Crowley; and the class in Consumer Education of the Westford Academy with Miss Boudreau who came to examine our books on Economics and select one each for a book report.As grade two of Frost School was too large to bring to the library as usual, the librarian was invited to visit them to describe the children's room and show them some books which they borrowed at that time. Since then more of them have come to the library.


Last May the Commission of Education from the Graniteville Meth- odist Church visited the library to become acquainted with the books and pictures which they could use in their Sunday School classes. In De-


150


cember the Sunday School teachers of the First Parish Church United also examined the facilities available.


It has been a pleasure for the librarian to supply residents of the Nursing Home with books for their enjoyment making visits once a week or oftener. Books are also taken to one family in Graniteville who does not have a car.


The Tadmuck Club three times borrowed groups of books from the library to use in connection with their meetings-Westford authors, U. S. foreign relations, and handcrafts. The latter books were loaned to read- ers at the meeting.


Mrs. E. K. Allen with her Girl Scouts held their meeting at the library one day in February. The two troupes under the supervision of Mrs. Ben Drew and Mrs. A. R. Coffin arranged an exhibit in the library in December illustrating their work on Conservation. Mrs. Sambito brought her group to look up material on what happens to a book from manuscript to final printed form.


Not as many foreign books were read this year as it was not possible to get them. Books needed by the townspeople and not owned by the library have been borrowed from the Division of Public Libraries, the libraries of Boston and Lowell and the Congregational Library.


The weather has several times interfered with the work of the li- brary. It was closed both evenings after hurricanes Carol and Edna (August 31 and September 11) as the electricity was off and also the afternoon of hurricane Edna due to the extreme wind and rain. In December two very stormy days, one icy, one snowy, prevented all but a few from venturing out.


A former resident of the town who has many pleasant memories of her childhood here, Laura Roper Ryan, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Elijah H. Roper presented the following books-"The White Gate" by Mary Ellen Chase and "Signs and Symbols in Christian Art" by George Fergu- son-as gifts in memory of her parents. Mr. Henry Chambliss presented "Graphic Graflex Photography" in memory of J. Willard Fletcher, Jr., his buddy in the service.


The Fine Arts Theater guide of Maynard is now available at the library where it may be consulted by those who enjoy noteworthy pic- tures. This is provided by Miss Alice M. Howard.


For several months the library has had on exhibition six paintings by William Millett, which have been much enjoyed by many people, espe- cially the portraits of his uncle, Carleton Atwood, a charming portrait of a woman in blue and a self portrait. Exhibits in the Frost museum case have been Valentines, an Easter exhibit, dolls, shells and seashore souvenirs by Pamela Boyce, and Christmas symbols and their origin.


151


Patriotic designs were arranged by Melvin T. Pearson, senior at Westford Academy, in the two reading rooms for the month of February. In addition to books about Washington and Lincoln, biographies of other famous people born in that month were placed on the table nearby. In May he arranged a garden exhibit to call attention to books on that sub- ject. Again at Christmas Melvin decorated one of the fireplaces at the library while he was home on furlough from service in the Air Force. James E. McAvinew provided the tree and the lights were lit in the front windows.


After graduation from Westford Academy, Melvin Pearson left for service in the Air Force so this fall Ann Reeves became student assistant. Mrs. Thomas M. McGrath began work at the library last winter. Miss Mary P. Bunce and Mrs. W. Otis Day continue as part time helpers.


Flowers to make the library more attractive have been provided by Mrs. W. Otis Day, Mrs. Nathan Millett, Miss Susie Green, Miss Marjorie Harris, the Misses Mary and Grace Burbeck, Miss Marion F. Winnek and the librarian.


On March 23 Miss Howard and the librarian attended a workshop held in Littleton by the Division of Public Libraries and obtained helpful suggestions.


The D. A. R. met at the library several times this year.


A few changes have been made in the list of magazines. All except current numbers may be borrowed for one week. The list for the coming year is as follows:
