The nt11"b -134 — adjusted to our new school with its new courses of study is much smaller than in past years. The division of the English classes and the insertion of new courses lait year have aided many in finding new interests. There scems to be a new and better school spirit. With the exception of a very few, our student body is taking excellent care of the new building and equipment.,' A meeting of the Olcl Colony ' Superintendents' As- soeiaton'vas held at the Orleans Hirrh School on: December 11, 1940.

The newly acquired sousaphone has added much to both the band and orchestra. The citizen sousaphone committee headed by Mrs'. Carleton Smith has done outstanding work by oversub- scribing the price of the sousaphone and wvinnin- the bell lyre The remaining amount left from the sousaphone will be used to buy a much needed baritone. The committee will continue to function till the baritone is paid for. Two other instruments were donated to the school by friends of Orleans from other towns whose enthusiasm was spurred by the result of our contest. The Orleans instrumental groups are as follows:: Beginners 19 Band 31 Orchestra 38 I wish to express my sincere thanks to Principal Leonardi for his generou,3 cooperation. Here is ,a school where teachers and principal cooperate. The Orleans High School Band and Orchestra are just as much concern to Mr. Leonardi as the rest Of his subjects. This interest coupled with similar enthusiasm and cooperation from Mr. Otto Nickerson and his teachers from Eastham have re- sulted in one of the finest school organizations that any school anywhere would be proud to have." Vocal Ntlusic Miss Kelman outlines the work in Vocal Music as f ollowvs : "In all our schools we strive to cultivate a deep atici lasting love for rnusie. This is attained through singing many beautiful songs, tiarough li.�teniala to music, and par - ticipation in rhythm activity. In the first grade the chil- dren may learn as many as 100 rote songs throughout the home„ These songs pertain to everyday experiences in the and community, special occasions, and sea- _137 — togetherrthe children sons. i,istening and rhythm are tiedFmphasis is laid, 0also, listen to a march then act it out tten:tion is b upon recognition of songs• jndividual , case the child to all so -called monotones.

Four -part music ha continued, and this year we have added Ist soprano, 2nd soprano, alto and bass —this doubles the alto. The chorus is larger this year than in previous; years. The Senior Class is practicing an operetta, to be given this winter. The operetta is in three acts and the music consists of solos, duets 'a quartet and many chor- uses.

The Program calls for practical subjects such as advertising, dolor, design and sculpture. There is an opportunity during t =ie latter part of the year for the student to carry out some of his individual interests. In each of the four towns we had at least one exhibition. All twelve grades have been represented in exhibitions and as many children as possible saw some of their work displayed." Health The report of the School Physician and Nurse. follows. Dr. White reports: "The spring and fall examina- tions of the scholars of both schools were conducted in April and October. The fall examinations were held up by the sudden death of Miss Bessie Armstrong, the school nurse, but were resumed on the appointment of Mrs. Doris Pond as her successor. There have been only scattered cases of the usual infectious and contagious children's diseases. The common cold has been with us as it always is during. the colder months of the year. Mild grippe cut into the spring and fall attendance. The dental clinic was well patronized this last fail and much necessary «cork was done on the teeth of the Children in the grade school. I have repeatedly urged parent,, to have their children's teeth looked after and not to let their be neglected."
