During the years Dr. Luce served the Town he sho'wed a keen interest in civic affairs. He was devoted to pro- moting good Hbrary facilities for the people of Canton. His service to the Library was characterized by a gentle personality and a constructive philosophy from which emanated an absorbing zeal for the advancement of educa- tional and cultural interests. His understanding of and devotion to the youth of the town endeared him to all the school children whose interests he served both as a Trustee of the Library and fOi" a number of years as School Phy- sician. The Trustees feel the keen personal loss of his kindly companionship and in commemoration of a lamented friend and associate direct that this memorial be incorporah,d in their recoi"ds. ~u flrmnriam At a regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Canton held on July 1, 1953, the following resolution was adopted.

Bright, Jr. Selectmen of Canton ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN To the Citizens of Canton: The Annual Report of your Sdectmen for the year 1953 is herewith submitted. The Board org-anized with Charles F. Leary, Chairman; Ol'iow S. Brig-ht, Jr., Clerk, and Francis J. Canoll, Board Member. It is with deep rel!ret that we acknowledge the passing of Mr. Joseph F. Stone, Mr. James E. Grimes, MI'. Albert W. Brya~, Mr. John E. Miller, and Mr. Edward B. Reynolds, all of whom served their Town in various capacities faithfully and well. Your Board has held meetings weekly on Wednesday evenings for regular routine Selectmen business and several special meet- ings when additional duties have arisen. Several public hearings were held that were always duly advertised and investigated and we acted on every complaint, regardless of its nature, that was properly brought to our atter>tion. We also represented the town at any hearings that required our presence for the protection of the Town. Two Special Town .Meeting-s were required and held in conjunction with the Dean S. Luce Elementary Sc:hool. A committee consisting of Messrs. Jack Bryan, Gerald Rones, ::nd John Trayers was appointed to assist the Board in matters connected with transportation, and in contacts with the Utility Companies and the D. P. U. These gentlemen succeeded in re- taining a considerable amount of service which at the time seemed lost, therefore, we extend to them our sincel'e thanks. Also a committee consisting of Dr. Charles P. Callery, Messrs. Theodore RoseIund, William P. Reynolds, Alec Will, William P. Homans, Tobe Deutschmann, M:rs. Barbara Chase, Mrs. Helen Gerald, Mrs. William Angus and Miss Katherine Sullivan was ap- pointed and their services thoroughly appreciated for their advi- sory capacity in drawing up alternate plans in relation to the now eontemplatPlI Routes 128 and 138. 28 ANNUAL Kl<;l'OHT OF THE TOWN 01<' CANTON With regrets we accepted Mr. William C. Paxton's resignation as Superintendent of Public Works. The immediate concern of your Board is the selection of the most competent person that can be secured to fill the vacancy. At present writing of this report forty-three applications have been received and many of these have been personally interviewed but as yet a final decision has not been ascertained. The major project of 1953, the installation of a twelve inch water main from the new well on Dedham Skeet to Washington Street, was completed remedying our sad lac~ of water for the present; but with the swift growth of Canton that is facing us, it is still necessary for us to be concerned about new water sources. Othor noteworthy pl'Ojl~ctS to mention fol' lUG;] are the Hew <lp!JroaC!hes at the Hew opening' in the viaduct at Neponsct Strcct and the widening of NepOl:sct Stroet running easterly from the Norwood Town Line. A Civil Service examination was held by the Police Depart- ment for a sergeant coping Canton into the military style, but as yet the Board has not received final information from the Civil Service Board, therefore, the appointment cannot be made until a future date. In conclusion the assistance and cooperation of all elected and appointed town officials and employees has again been deeply ap- preciated. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES F. LEARY FRANCIS J. CARROLL ORLOW S. BRIGHT, JR.

It contains the record of the annual Town Election and Town Meeting, the Special Town Meeting held on June 29 and the Special Town Meeting held on November 30, a complete list of all the elected and appointed officers who were sworn to the faithful per- formance of their individual duties, various letters concerning resignations and appointments to fill vacancies on several town committees, and all the vital statistics that have been received for the official town records. Once again, I urge all who are con- cerned to carefully check the birth, marriage and death records so that any enol'S 01' omissions can be called to the attention of the Town Clerk and effort made to COl'l'ect them at once. A cor- l'ection now may save trouble and confusion in later years. The number of dog licenses issued reached an all time high with 785 licenses being sold in addition to 8 kennel licenses. All residents, who are dog owners, must bear in mind that ALL dogs in the town, three months of age and over, must be licensed on or before April 1 of each year. Failure to comply with the Iaw may result in serious trouble for the owner. Sporting licenses is- sued totaled 690. Amendments to the By-Laws of the Town, voted under Articles 13 and 14 of the Wal'l'ant for the annual Town Meeting, were sub- mitted to the Attorney General ,and approved. Amendments to the Zoning By-Laws of the Town, as voted under Articles 15, 17 and 18 of the Warrant for the annual Town Meeting and under Article 7 of the Warrant for the Special Town Meeting held on June 29, 1953, were also submitted to and approved by the Attorney General. Our number of registered voters in the town h.as now reached 4~)oO. The Board of Registrars of Voters notes with sorrow the passing of the late John E. iMiller, wtio served the town faithfully as a Registrar for many years. Once again I am deeply grateful to the personnel at the Town Hall and to the val'ious elected and appointed town officials and the citizens for their co-operation and the many courtesies extended to me during the past year.

New members welcomed to tlle Committee at this time were 'Mrs. Helen Chatfield, Mr. Paul Galvin and Mr. Edward Leary. In October Mrs. Chatfield was compelled to tender her resignation due to moving out of town with her family and Mrs. M'iriam Nolen was elected by the Committee and the Board of Selectmen to serve in her stead for tl1e balance of the year. The Committee was unani- mous in their feeling of sincere regret in accepting Mrs. Chat- field's resignation as her keen interest in school problems and the educational welfare of its pupils was ins'pirational. One of the first actions of the new Committee was to draft and sponsor an article for presentation at the Annual Town Meeting requesting the town to establish a permanent School Building Committee whose purpose would be to continually inves- tigate, study and recommend sound school building programs to keep pace with the ever increasing enrollment of pupils in tl1e Pub- lic School System. Recognizing the acuteness of this problem of school housing, the townspeople were quick to authorize such a committee which has since been hard at work under the able chairmanship of Mr. Lee Court. This Committee subsequently brought in such a forceful p.icture of the critical need for addi- tional elementary school space that the townspeople have author- ized the erection of a fourteen room elementary school on a site bounded by Pleasant, Independence and Prospect Streets. The School Committee also endorsed an article sponsored by the Canton Parent Teachers Association asking that money be raised for the improvement of existing school play areas and grounds. The need for improvement of play areas of all the ex- lsting schools has been long- recognized as something that should be done, and the Parent Teachers Association is to be commended for adoptingbhe problem and preparing a long range program to accomplish this end. The first phase of this program was adopted by the town and the play area at tl1e Hemenway School was given first preference inasmuch as it will probably remain a vital part 110 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON of the public school facilities for some years to come. Continuing the program, the Parent Teachers Association and the School Committee are sponsoring an article to come before the voters at the next Annual Town Meeting for improvement to the play areas at the Revere School. On April 9th, the Canton Public School System lost a de- voted and ever-to-be-remembered member in the passing of Dr. Dean S. Luce who had b~n school physician for a good many years. Nothing that might be said in this report could reflect the feeling of great sorrow on the part of the Commit~ at the news of his death and it heartily endorses the recommendation of the Permanent School Building Committee to name the new elementary school on Pleasant Street in his memory. Dr. Newell S. Hagan was unanimously elected to succeed Dr. Luce and in Dr. Hagan the Committee feels that it has found a worthy successor. The school system also lost another fine and faithful employee in the death of Mr. John Cahill, custodian of the Revere School, whose devotion to his building and the teachers and pupils in it won for him the admiration and respect from all those with whom he came in contact. Mr. John Hendrickson was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Cahill's death. Pre-school registrations and projected estimates of enroll- ment for the fall opening of school established the fact that ad- ditional classrooms other than those availa;ble in existing school buildings would be necessary to house the September enrollment of pupils. A sub-committee composed of Walter Draper, Edward Leary and Helen Chatfield was appointed to work with the Su- perintendent to conclude arrangements for supplying this supple- mentary classroom space. Arrangements were subsequently made to set up temporary classrooms in the Public Li,brary, the Unitarian Parish Hall and the Grange Hall. The choice of establishing temporary classrooms instead of going into a morn- ing and afternoon, two platoon system, in existing buildings proved to be a wise one. The Committee believes it has bepn a pleasant revelation to the parents of the children assigned to these temporary classrooms as to what could be and was accomplished in this respect and feels that it owes a debt of gratitude to those organizations that cooperated so unselfishly in helping it to solve this pressing problem. 111 AN~HJAL REPOHT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON With additional transportation facilities needed, the Commit- tee authorized the leasing- of a bus from the School Bus Rental Sel'vice, Inc., of Framingham Center, Massachusetts. Experience has shown this to be a satisfactory and economical method of pro- viding transportation. Under the able guidance of our Superintendent of Schools, Mr. John Glenn, the Committee has approved many innovations and improvements of policy 01' plan in our school system this year. The recruiting of a School Band Uniform Committ~ which was responsible for making the School Band-at least in appear- ance-second to none in the Sbte has rejuvenated interest in this important function on the part of the pupils, the parents and townspeople. A plan whereby girls of the senior class taking Office Practice courses were placed in local business offices for a two week period prior to the closing of schools gave them not only a practical in- sight into actual office work, but also, in some cases, resulted in actual placement at the conclusion of the school year. The establishment of a three year plan for acquiring a film strip library of approximately 350 film strips as visual aids to the primary, intermediate and secondary school levels promises to fill a much need gain in the Visual Aid Program. The policy of receiving transportation bids based on a "cost pel' mile" rather than a yearly route basis permits greater flexibil- ity in re-routing busses and avo'ids continual dickering over changes in routes and subsequent costs. The establishment of an "Orientation Day" for new school pel'sonnel provided new teachers with an opportunity of getting acquainted with the Canton School System and also Nle plans and jll'Ograms of the special teachers and supervisors. Other improvements to the system too numerous to count in this report have been recommended to and accepted by the School Committee. The Committee believes that in Mr. John Glenn, Su- perintendent of Schools, they have a progressive administrator whose direction of the school system has and will continue to im- prove in quality. 112 ANNUAL l{E}'OHT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON Two changes in the Rules of the Canton School Committee were elfected this year. The first of these was the rescinding of Section 8 of Article 5, and amendments, dealing with the hiring or dis- missal of married teachen,. Nullification of this Rule became man- datory by the enactment of a State of Massachusetts law, Chapter 244, effective July 9, 1953, which states that marriage can not be considered a valid reason for the dismissal of a teacher. The second was an addition to the Rules defining the School Day and setting up a policy in regard to private tutoring for pay by teach- ers of the Canton Public School System. Lack of adequate space, overcrowded conditions, use of tem- porary classrooms, etc., have taxed all school personnel to the limit this year, and they are to be congratulated and appreciated for the fine job they have done under these trying conditions. Special ap- preciation is due to .Mr. John Glenn and his secretary, Miss Mar- garet Ahearn, for the extra burden they have carried in executing the administrative duties of not only the School Department but the Secretaryship of the School Building Committee as well. The Committee also wishes to express appreciation of the in- valuable counsel and cooperation it has received from other de- partments of the town government, Ml'. Eugene Galligan, Mr. Mike Rogers, Mr. William Paxton and many others. Respectfully submitted, WALTER S. DRAPER, Chairman of Canton School Committee. 11::1 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the School Committee and the Citizens of Canton: I herewith submit my second annual report as your Superin- tendent of Schools. The splendid cooperation received from all-townspeople, of- ficials and school personnel~has made it possible to make many important advances and improvements in our educational system. Parents have been most cooperative in accepting the many in- conveniences brought about by the rapid increases in enrollment. The major problem which confronted us in the elementary schools- lack of suffcient classroom space-will 110W be resolvecl when the new elementary school is completed. DEAN IS. LUCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The fourteen-classroom elementary school, which is now under construction, is ur,gently needed. Many of our elementary ciass- rooms are overcrowded, and since September five temporary class- rooms have been 111 operation. These temporary rooms are in the Grange Hall, Parish Hall, Public Library Children's Room and the Assembly Room in the Hemenway School. Plans call for the com- pletion of bhe new school by September, 1954. Will any of the existing elementary schools be closed because of the new school? The answer to this question is No! Plans call for the use of all elementary schools, at least until Step 2 in our building program is completed. (Step 2 calls for a new high school building, or an addition to the present high school larger than the original high s..hool building). The five temporary classrooms will be dis- contiJ1l'"d at the conclusion of the 1953-54 school year. W'lat children will attend the Dean S. Luce School? Although the long-range schuol plans call for this school to be for grades 1-6, the building will house gl'ades 1-8 until the high school huilding Pl'oblem is solved. 111 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON A definite school attendance zone will have to be designated. This will be accomplished in the late spring when school popula- tion maps will be prepared and the home locations of all elementary school pupils will be plotted on these maps. The Harvard sur- vey recommended that all elementary pupils who lived east and north of Washington Street attend the new school. The number and grade distribution factors may effect some revision of the Har- vard zoning recommendation. When will the new school be ready for occupancy? Every effort is being made to complete the school by the open- ing date for schools in September, 1954. The late winter and early spring weather will have a great effect on the construction schedule. EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION VIA CHANNEL TWO Educators in Massachusetts, realizing the shortsightedness of tJw past in not acquiring radio channels for education, have sought the establishment of at least one TV station to ,be used exclusively for educational purposes. Such a station, designaterl as Station WGBH, telecasting over Channel 2, is now under construction just. a short distance from our community in the Blue Hills. The educational possibilities of TV are vast. Ol'iginal pro- grams can b3 telecast, and outstanding events or programs can be recorded and released at hours most desirable for the viewing au- dience. Opportunities for home instruction of handicapped children, convalescents and adults are unlimited in ad- dition to the many valuable programs which can be brought into the school classroom. Television will be a more effective educa- tional media than radio because (1/) it combines sight and sound and thus it more neal'ly ap- Jlroaches the one hundred percent learning efficiency leveL (2) programs will be strictly educational with no advertising' pnlJlaganda permitted. (3) this educational television station will be devoted to the communities' needs because it will 'be under the control of the peo- ple and operated on a non-commercial basis. (4) it opens anotber window of oPJlortunity tor leaming. 11;, ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON Educators feel strongly that television offers the g-reatest educational opportunity since the invention of printing. Our Massachusetts station will be the twenty-fifth educational television station in this country. Funds for the construction of the new television statinn were donated; operational costs will have to be borne, at least at the outset, by popular subscription as the station will have no income from advertising. Each community, Canton included, is to be asked for voluntary contributions and $2200 is the subscription goal established for Canton by the state committee. A DEVELOPMENT SCHOOL PIWGRAiM Teachers, supervisors and administrators of the Canton schools are continually striving to obtain better and better teaching results. It is our duty and desire to develop the skills and abilities of pu- pils to the fullest extent. A g-reat amount of attention is given to tIle foundation areas of reading-, arithmetic, lang-uag-e and writ- ing. In addition, the areas of social studies, character and citi- zenship, health, safety and the fine arts are given considerable emphasis. Annual evaluations are made at elementary and sec- ondary school levels through the use of scienti,fically prepared tests. Although all phases of pupil growth cannot be measured through the use of an instr:...ument such as the written test, results are used to supplement the evaluations of the classroom teacher. In this regard, Mr. .John O'Connell, principal of the Eliot school, writes, "Educational standards are high. Median scores based in the Iowa Achievement Tests placed each of our grades above the national norm. \Ve constantly find our school in favorable com- parison with those of neighboring communities. The departing pupil, from any grade level, adjusts with no difficulty to the edu- cational program of other schools." Our hig-h school students arc pl'epal'ell for the futures which they have determined to be their goals. Exactly thirty-three and one-third per cent of the membership of the graduating class of June, 1953, went on to higher education, and of this group forty- five per cent are now in attendance at degree-granting colleges or universities. Commercial course graduates experienced no dif- ficulty in obtaining employment. 116 ANNVAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON I wish to point out that it is the classroom teacher's patience, energy and skill that is responsible for promoting the development- al growth of the pupil while he is in the school. Mrs. iMary Brown, principal of the PonkapoagSchool, empha- sizes the importance of social studies in the school program. She states: "Before a child can progress into his social environment he must learn to evaluate facts. Special emphasis has been placed in the types of skill necessary for the reading of the social studies. The teachers have planned study exercises to train the children to r.'member facts read, understand what they have read, to organize facts, to be able to locate information, and to have the ability to read and understand maps, graphs, and charts. "Our course of study has been revised and the goals clearly defined so that the entire school is a working unit striving for the over-all betterment of the child. "The social study program in the Ponkapoag School is meet- ing t,he learning problems of the individual child, is helping the children to use facts to develop ideas and so solve problem!" in relation to what they have already learned." Certain areas of the high school curriculum are in need .'f further development if the needs of all pupils are to be met more completely. An example of this is in the area of industrial arts. A wider range of basic trade skills should be given to shop pupils but space requirements retard the expansion of the s.hop program. There is a neell in this high flchool, as well as in most secondary schools, for courses or units of stully in the areas of child psy- chology and home and family living. The youth of today are the parents and home makers of tomorrow. Education has a responsi- bility to prepare young people for the future. COUR'SE OF STUDY COMMITTEES Courses of study have been developed by teacher study com- mittees for each class or grade level in several of the subject areas including English, reading, mathematics, social studies, science, hpalth and character or citizenship education. Every teacher in the school system served on at least one of th.. study committees of his choice. 117 ANNUAL I~EPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON The planned course of study outlines will be reproduced in quantity, distributed to school personnel, re-evaluated, revised and placed before school officials for acceptance. Periodic analysis of courses of study are necess~ry to keep abreast of proven research in education. Teachers devoted a considerarble amount of extra time and energy in these studies, but all served most willingly and con- scientiously in this worth-while and necessary project. WORK-EXPE'RIEiNCE PLAN A work-experience plan for senior class office practice girls was inaugurated during the spring' of 1953 and follow-up evalua- tion proved this loeal experiment to be highly successful. Office managers of the various business offices in Canton co- operated one hundred per cent in permitting the high school senior girls to gain actual office experience by working full time in the business offices for two weeks. The studEnts reported for work and observed the business hours of regularly employed office personnel. An evaluation follow-up with student workers and office man- agers proved the experiment to be of real value to all concerned. Employers were enthusiastic about the capwbilities and training exhibited by students, and the office practice g-irls g-ained first- hand knowledge of what employers expect as well as actually ex- periencing the many duties of office personnel. Plans are going forward to continue the work experience plan annually. The splendid cooperation of 10calmdustl'Y with our Echools is greatly appreciated. The commercial department of the high school, under the capable guidance of Miss Madeline O'Donnell, has clearly demon- strated the high degree of training and preparation which pupils receive in the commercial field orf study. SCHOOL BUILDING MODERNIZAT>ION PROGRAM Improvements and repairs were made in several of our school buildings during 1953. Each year that this prog-ram of renovation and improvement is continued our buildings are brought several steps nearer to a high standard of attractiveness, sanitation and 11R ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON healthful environment for pupils. We fully realize that it costs money to make these needed improvements to the existing school buildings. However, those children who cannot be housed in new and monern school buildings are certainly entitlecl to be ,!!,"iven school classroom atmospheres that are safe, healthful and pleasant. In regard to physical plant improvements, Mr. William Gal- vin, principal of the Hemenway School, reports: "The first floor classrooms as well as the office, teachers' room and dental clinic were painted during the summer months and the marked im- provement in appearance and cleanliness is most gratifvinl1'. Pro- posed improvements such as proper lighting, painting the second floor classrooms, installing oil burner and replacing toilet fixtures are urgently needed. Building facilities may not be as essential as program of stuclies and teachers, however they are very im- portant adjuncts for an abundant school life. With the comple- tion of these nec€ssary projects the Hemenway School will be in excellent condition to adequately protect the pupils entrusted to its care". Miss Lillian Mann, principal of the Revere School, points out in her report the impro,vements needed at this school. She states the following: "In the near future we hope the automatic plumb- ing fixtures will be replaced, the rooms redecorated and the boiler converted from soft coal to oil. This latter would help much in maintaining an even, healthful temperature in the classrooms. "The play area is in very bad condition. In dry weather it is very dusty, and in damp weather it is muddy and has so many holes filled with water that it is not usable. The rocks which are now exposed are very dangerous." The physical condition of the Eliot School is described in gen- eral terms by IM'r. John O',Connell, principal, thusly: "It would seem rather important that sufficient funds be made available to keep both the building and the playground in good condition. This building, now nearly sixty years old, is in need of some work to maintain a quality of functional serviceability." Major renovations and repairs planned for this year to ef- fectively modernize and improve conditions are listed below: HIGH SCHOOL 1. Curtains for high school gymnasium. 2. Cat walk over boiler. (iSteel ladder and platform). 11!l ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTO~ ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS 1. Convert two boilers at Hemenway School. 2. Convert boiler at Revere School. 3. Redecorate upper floor at Hemenway School. ,Sehool. 4. Redecorate two classrooms and halls at the Ponkapoag Redecorate two classrooms and halls at the Ponkapoag 5. Redecorate interior halls at the Eliot School. 6. Trim interior woodwork at Revere School. 7. Repair wooden stairs (outside) at Eliot School. 8. Re-shingle roof at Ponkapoag School. 9. Install fluorescent lights in all classrooms, office and halls at Hemenway School. 10. Replace present toilets (Hemenway) with flush-o-meter units (9). (Requires larger size supply line). 11. Replace six toilets at Revere using three flush-a-meter units from Crane School and three new units. 12. Replace soapstone sink at the Eliot wit.h a porcelain type. 13. Replace a rott.ed sect.ion of wat.er pipe at the Gridley. 14. Hot-top driveway at t.he Eliot. 15. Install chain link fence at Eliot. CONCLUSION The Canton school staff has completed an excellent year of cooperative effort. Recognition has been received from many sources for t.he fine work and successes of the classroom teachers, the special teachers, supervisors and the at.hletic coaches, including the coaches of varsity and intramural sports. Space does not per- mit the cit.ing of the many fine results of the year. This report would not be complete wit.hout giving a vote of thanks to the School Building Committee who have worked so dili- gently in planning the Dean S. Luce School. Chairman Lee W. Court and the Committee have met frequently and spent numer- ous other hours in a sincere effort to guide the construction of a school most suited to the needs of this Town. The School Committee members have given freely of their time in working constantly for bener schools and in searching for the best solutions to school problems. Much credit for accomplish- lllent is justly due them. 120 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON I extend my sincere thanks for the cooperation which I have received during- the year from school personnel, School Band Com- mittee, town departments and town officials. To all organizations and citizens of Canton who have contributed to the welfare of the school children of Canton, I extend my warmest thanks and ap- prlCciation. Sincerely, JOHN GLENN, Superintendent of Schoois REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL PROGR,AM OF STUDIE:S The program of studies, offered at Canton High School, covers many and various courses which, in turn, prepared our students most thoroughly in the subjects needed to meet students' plans for the future. Our college curriculum consists of English, the Foreign Language Field, the Sciences, rMathematics, and So- cial Studies. Our Commercial Curriculum includes Business Training, Typing, Stenography, Office Practice, Bookkeeping, Commercial Geography, Business Principles and Law. The In- dustrial Arts course consists of the related Mathematics and Sciences, Social ,studies, and IShop. Many of our girls find that it is possible, in their particular programs, to take com"ses in Household Arts such as Sewing- and 'Cooking. GUIDANCE Our guidance program, under the direction of Mr. Welch, has continued to serve the best interests of our pupils. In March, the freshmen were administered a series of phychological and mental maturity tests in place of similar tests administered in previous years by the Boston University Testing Bureau. This service to our freshmen has been discontinued by B. U. because of the pressure of other activities, but our juniors continue to receive the psychometric battery of tests administered by the B. U. officials and the results of the tests are interpreteo to each pupil by Mr. Welch. 121 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON COMME,RCIAL ENGAGE!ME'NT This year for the first time, the senior g-irls taking- the Office Practice Course were placed in various local offices for actual "on the job" office training. A followup-study was made and the results were most encourag-ing. Both the girls and the employers ag-reed that it was a very profitable experience. GRADUATEIS Following graduation, approximately one-third of the gradu- ates continued their education at colleges, universities, junior colleges, business schools, nursing schools, and vocational schools. They were admitted to Bridgewater and Framingham State Teach- ers Colleg-es, Boston Colleg-e, Northeastern University, Tufts, Regis, Colorado A. & M. Also to Dean, Fisher, and Mt. Ida Junior Colleges; to Catherine Laboure and Quincy Hospital School of Nursing; to Bentley, Burdett, Stenotype Institute, and Chandler Schools of business; and to Mass. Trades Shops School and Norfolk Agricultural School. Through various conferences with personnel of the various businesses, industries, and banks, many pupils were placed in pel'manent positions. CONFERENCES AND COUNSELING Individual conferences and counseling talks place as many of the student body as it is possible to see. This year, we are parti- cipating' in a series of conferences arrang'ed in co-operation with Northeastern University whereby all members of the senior and junior classes are g'iven th(~ opportunity to investig-ate and talk with experts in some fifty different vocational and professional fields. ThUll far, the series of conferences has proved to he both info.rmative and succes~ful. 122 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS The Physical Education Program for boys ann girls in all grades is virtually unchanged from that of a year ago. So, too, is the closely correlated athletics schedule. Every high school boy gets at least two org-anized periods a week in the gymnasium plus an opportunity io participate in anyone of the extra-curricular sports; football, cross-country, basketJball, track, or baseball. In the gymnasium boys are instructed in ball-handling, tumbling, marching, games and posture. They have the opportunity to de- velop special muscles and skills in the corrective room where w(' have boxing gloves, bag gloves, protective head equipment. and light and heavy punching bags. T'he girls' program this year is being handled by Miss Mary Hayes who succeeded Miss Dorothy Lewis in September. In the first four elementary grades her work consists of story plays, games, mimetics, and rythmical activities. In the upper four ele- mentary grades girls are taught the background of team s.ports such as field hockey, soccer, basketball, and social games. The high school girls are instructed in seasonal sports, tumbling, rythms, dancing, marching and mimetics. Athletics in the high school enjoyed a better than average year. Basketball had its best year in a long while when the team finished in a tie for first place in the Hockamock League. The girls' basketball team lost only one game while boys' basBball had a .fiOO year. The boy's track team won all but one of its dual meets and finished second to Oliver Ames in the Hockamock meet which was held this year in Canton. The girls' field hockey team failed to win its third title in a row but did finish high in the league standings. The football team won six of nine games and Canton rans were treated to many thrilling afternoons, the high- light being the Canton-Braintree game. The various extra-curricular athletic teams provided recrea- tion and tr,aining for the following numbers of boys and girls: football 55, field hockey 60, boys' 'basketball 40, girls' basketball 50, track and field 30, cross country 6, and baseball 50. 1.2:1 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON A present our coaching staff is as follows: Charles Stevenson, head coach of football with David Haines assisting and Ralph Clough in charge of freshmen; Mary Hayes, coach of all girls' ac- tivities; Ralph Clough, head coach of basketball with Kenneth Col- mer assisting; Paul Callanan, coach of cross-country and track; Robert Gibson, coach of baseball; Robert Wier, coach of seventh and eighth grade basket-ball, and Lawrence Walsh, coach of seventh and eighth grade baseball. With the rapid increase in student population and the con- struction of new buildings it is obvious that some adjustment must be made in the physical training program. At the present time we have but one man to cover the entire system for boys' training and likewise only one woman to handle the same duties for the girls. As for the grounds at the different schools some improvement has been made at the Ponkapoag and HE:menway buildings. The large area to the rear of the high school, though used during May and June, is in great need of development, with the grounds at the Eliot and Gridley entirely inadequate. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT C. GIBSON, Director of Athletics and Physical Education. DRIVER TRAINING The Driver Training Course as given in Canton High School consists of two parts: classroom work, and road training in a dual-control car. For the past five years the Haynes Garage has donated a series of fine new Pontiac automobiles for use in the road training of the enrolled pupils. Each car is used for ap- proximately 8,000 miles and then is turned back to the garage for a newer model. The class-room course runs for eighteen weeks with one pe- riod of instruction each week. The motor vehicle laws of Massa- chusetts are studied in detail and pupils are instructed in the right attitudes of caution, courtesy, and consideration when operating 124 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON automobiles. Numerous moving pictures dealing with principals of motor operation and safe driving are shown. At the end of this course a pupil receiving 80 per cent or better in a written ex- amination sent out by the Registry of Motor Vehicles is certified so that he need not submit to the usual oral test giv~n by the driv- ing inspector. The road training course runs for eighteen weeks simultan- eously with the class room course. The road instruction periods are given to each pupil per week with four trainees in the dual- contro! car taking turns at the wheel. First the use and mean- ing of the levers and dials are taught; then in the school driveway practice in the fundamentals of starting, stopping, turning and gear shifting is continued until the pupil is considered qualified to take the car into the public highway. Here proper control of the car in traffic is developed and hand signals are practiced. The pupil now applies his knowledge of tl'affic rules learned in the classroom. At the end of the course qualified pupils are given their driv- ing tests hy an inspector who comes to the school for that purpose from the Registry of Motor Vehicles. During the year 1953 forty-foul' students received their driv- ing licenses as a result of the training received in the Canton High School Driver Training Course. Toward the end of 1953, graduates of driver training courses in the various high schools of the state were rewarded by a sub- stantial reduction in the "under 25" insurance rates for 1954. Over a hundred of the graduates of the Driver Training Courses of Can ton High School have applied and r~ceived certificates which en- title them to this insurance discount. An adult drivel' training program has been conducted during (he summer and in after school hours throughout the year. This course also includes classroom instruction as well as road training. The adult program differs from the student course only in that the road training lessons are private. Thirty-eight graduates of the adult course received driving licenses in 1953. HUGH DaWSON, InstructoJ'. 125 ANNUAL REl'OHT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR Art, as an essential part of education, contributes emotion- ally and intellectually to the full development of each child, and to the community in which he lives, as well as broadens his under- standing- and appreciation of life. It offers a medium for the expression of emotion and is sometimes a convenient outlet for the tensions caused by pressures of modern living. Art education is concerned with the individual response of the child to his environment expressed t.hrough line, dal"k and light, color, form and texture. Few children in our public schools will ever be professional al'lists, but evel'Y child has potential powers of esthetic enjoy- ment and creative expression. Therefore, art education is for all and not merely the talented few. Every child is entitled to the expression of his own ideas, as is borne out in this state- ment of Emel'son; "Because the saw is progressive, it never quite repeats itself, but in every act attempts the production of a new and fairer whole. Thus in our fine arts, not imitation, but creation is our aim." In our elementary schools in Canton we are trying to organize our art department so that we will have a large variety of media in order to enable the child to express his thoughts through art as a language. Weare integrating arts and crafts in our pro- gram to attain three dimensional as well as two dimensional ex- jJression. When chiidren enter school they already have a nat- '~J'al feeling for the line, color, form and texture. In order to retain ~"I1sivity to these principles of art and stimulate growth. child- ren must have varied ways of expressing them. Through the ex- jJloitation of many media are offered opportunities for thinking for vneself, making wise choices, inventing, carrying out an idea, ac- ~epting l'esponsibility, and working with others. Weare organizing our High School art course by ordering a .....dety of art materials on a hiwher level so that the student -electing art may have a better chance for introduction to, and specialization in art m<edia not necessarily exploited in Elementary 1~G ANNUAL HEPORT OF THE TOWN OF CANTON School. In this way, the student interested in working with a particular medium will have the opportunity to do so and develop at his own rate of speed on a long-e-range project. A History of Art will be given to create an understanding and appreciation of the Masters as well as contemporary artists. Also, art being a part of every day life, many of our extra-curricular school activi- ties need help from the Art Department. This not only correlates art with School projects, it developes responsibility and creativeness in the stud{mts. On the whole, the aim of Art Education is to aid in develop- ing the whole child, for him to leal'll to know himself and un- derstand others-through art to become a better citizen and as such improve the world in which we live.

Candidates for competitive athletics are examined annually previous to participation. Disrubilities and de- fects detected by Dr. Hagan at the time of the health appraisal of the child are brought to the attention of the family. The pre-school clinic was held on three days in April and May of last year. Ninety-seven children were given complete physical and dental examinations at the time. The audiometer and Massachusetts Vision Test is obtained annually to screen any hearing loss or visual effect in a child. All children in the first grade undergo these tests, and bi-annually thereafter. Individual inspections are given periodically to control any spreading of communicable diseases among the students. Any child who shows any eviaence of infcction is cxcluded from school until his symptoms disappear. Booster shots and injections for immunization for diphthel'ia and tetanus arc administered to grades one and six. Since the procedure has been so widely practiced, diphtheria fatilities have decreased. Any child who has been absent from school from a pcriod of five or more consecutive school days must upon re-admission to class present a certificate. If a physician's certificate has not been obtained, the ohild may obtain one at the high school before the opening of class. However, in the case of a communicable di- sease, a child must present a doctOl"S certificate. Parents have b:;en most co-opcrative rcgarding this procedure in the past year.
