1. Physical education classes and intra-mural programs conducted by instructors specifically trained for this work.


2. Compulsory classes in cooking and sewing for girls in grades seven and eight; elective classes in upper grades.


3. Compulsory woodworking classes for boys in grades seven and eight; elective classes in upper grades.


4. Compulsory classes in Art and Music for grades seven and eight; elective classes for upper grades.


5. Latin added to the curriculum for pre-college students. Latin was dropped from the curriculum in 1942 and a modern language substituted. We now offer both French and Latin.


6. Grouping of pupils according to aptitude in grades seven through twelve. This permits each pupil to progress at a rate consistent with his ability.


7. A hot-lunch program available to all students at a low cost. Eighty-five per cent of the student body is regularly participat- ing in this program. The combination of the cafeteria and the athletic programs, as started this year, is probably the largest step Westford has ever made in promoting the health of its young people.


Four months of operation in the new building has brought into focus several things which need immediate attention.


The library with its fine collection of reference materials provided by generous donors has very limited use at the present time because we have no librarian, or teacher, without a full teaching load, to supervise it. This situation is unfortunate because the library can be such an im- portant extention of the classroom if organized and used correctly.


143


The role of guidance in a modern secondary school needs no elabora- tion as to its importance in this report. It is important to note, however, that if the job is to be done adequately, trained personnel whose time and energy can be completely devoted to this work are required. The Director of Guidance at the Massachusetts Department of Education con- siders reasonable the ratio of one guidance teacher to 250 pupils. At present we have 382 pupils with an expected enrollment of 460 next school year. It does not seem unreasonable that we should at least have one full-time guidance person in our high school.


Membership of our high school in the New England Association of Secondary School and Colleges, the most important school rating organ- ization in this section of the country, depends on our successful imple- mentation of the library and guidance program.


I wish to thank you and the Westford School Committee for the as- sistance and cooperation given to me during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN A. RENNIE, Principal Westford Academy.


REPORT OF ART SUPERVISOR


Mr. Peter F. Perry


Superintendent of Schools


Westford, Massachusetts


Dear Mr. Perry:


I hereby submit to you my annual report as art supervisor.


The aim of the Art program consists primarily of learning the funda- mentals of art, namely, line, form, color, texture, space. Every child has creative abilities and these should be developed by making art a rich and meaningful experience. This can be done by the use of different media and experimenting with different combinations of materiels. This year however there is a lack of materiels at the elementary level making it impossible to offer the latter part of the art program to my satisfaction.


At the junior high and high school levels, it is necessary to develop skills and techniques and to explore deeper into the basic fundamentals. The materiels at this level are complete.


I have received wonderful co-operation from everyone in the West- ford School System and it has made my first year here very pleasant.


Respectfully submitted,


M.FRANCES LeBRUN, Art Supervisor.

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


January 1, 1956


The trustees of the J. V. Fletcher Library herewith submit their annual report for 1955, including the report of the librarian.


This year we were sorry to lose the services of John A. Rennie who resigned from the Board because of his many duties in connection with the Academy. He served us well during the short period he was with us. We are glad to have persuaded Lynwood T. Stodden to take his place.


The building is beginning to show its age. This year it was necessary to repair the roof and the copper gutters on the building and work also had to be done around the skylight. In March a portion of the ceiling in the stackroom fell where water had leaked down in the past. This has not yet been repaired because of the fact that it has become necessary to make a change in the lighting. After numerous meetings and two surveys, it has been decided to install fluorescent lights in the stackroom and the new service entrance which will be necessary.


Miss Day and Miss Howard visited the West Newbury library at the spring meeting of the Merrimack Valley Library Association and on the way back stopped in the Dracut library and the library of the Lowell Technological Institute to see the fluorescent lights. In the fall Mr. and Mrs. Taylor with Miss Howard and Miss Day went to the Dracut library meeting where they saw a beautiful mantel arrangement of bitter sweet and autumn leaves done by Mrs. Putnam and Miss Edna Cutter. In the afternoon they enjoyed hearing Munro Leaf, author of "Ferdinand the Bull". Miss Day and Miss Howard also had the pleasure of visiting the Concord Library, where they met the new librarian and were shown over the building.


This year the library has been buying Music Appreciation Records and hope they will be made use of by music lovers in the town as an analysis of the composition is on the back of each record.


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


1. The sum of forty-seven hundred ($4,700.00) dollars .


2. The receipts from the dog licenses in 1955.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN


January 1, 1956


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


The librarian herewith submits her thirty-eighth annual report in the ninety-seventh year of the Westford Public Library.


The total circulation at the library has again increased in all classes -books, magazines, pamphlets and pictures, and also more books were used by the children in the schools at Graniteville and Forge Village- to which books are taken by the librarian and left in charge of the teach- ers. Less books of adult non-fiction were read but more fiction. The order in popularity of the first five groups was the same as last year - Biography 659, Travel 608, Useful Arts 454, Fine Arts 395 and History 286. Many new residents of the town have made use of the library and all are cordially invited.


In the fall three classes from the Frost school visited the library with their teachers (grades 2, 3, 4) and showed much interest. Three teachers from the Academy brought their classes to the library to get acquainted with certain reference books and so find material for their class work. Some books have been borrowed by several teachers for use in their classes since their library is not yet fully established. It is no longer possible for the pupils of the Academy to come during their noon hour but the pupils of the Frost school still visit the library at that time.


One new service long desired by Miss Howard has been added-a collection of music records has been started. These may be borrowed by adults who have a record player that uses 33 speed for one week with privilege of one renewal. Scratches and other damage must be paid for. Some of the titles now available are The Messiah, several by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schubert and Bizet.


An unusual number of books has been given to the library this year, the largest being received from the Arthur W. Fletcher estate. Others are mentioned in the list of gifts. All usable titles have not yet been catalogued.


The D. A. R. met at the library four times this year. At the Feb- ruary meeting Miss Day talked on samplers and many were displayed, and in May Miss Howard gave a book review on "Amos Fortune" by Elizabeth Yates.


In June the library was used by the school department four morn- ings for psychological tests given to certain children as a quiet place was needed.


150


In October the librarian was invited to the P.T.A. at the Frost School to give a brief talk on library facilities.


In November Leslie Drew offered her services to the library to work for her Girl Scout merit badge for Community Service.


The library was made more attractive by the many flowers con- tributed by the Misses Mary and Grace Burbeck. Others were furnished by Mrs. Thomas McGrath, Mrs. W. Otis Day, Mrs. Nathan Millett and Miss Marian F. Winnek.


In the Frost case were exhibits on winter sports, the White House and all the presidents, toy soldiers loaned by Miss Winnek and Miss Day and the Christmas exhibit of symbols used in foreign countries.


In December the mantel pieces in both rooms were beautifully dec- orated by Mrs. W. Otis Day; a Christmas tree was provided by Mr. McAvinew and the usual lights were displayed in the windows. A new feature was the playing of Christmas music on a record player loaned by Mrs. Day during the week before Christmas.


Magazines have been popular this year. We have also had quite a few gifts, some a partial file for 1955, others of an older date but still usable. We have just received word from the publishers that the follow- ing magazines will be available as gifts during the year 1956-Facts Forum and World Tennis. All except current numbers may be borrowed for one week. The list for the coming year is as follows:
