114 <br />QUOTATIONS FROM THE REPORT <br />of the <br />SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, MR. KENNETH COOMBS <br />Field Trips <br />Field trips are an important part of the educational <br />program of an elementary school. Trips are planned with <br />the utmost care and often parental help is sought in assur- <br />ing safety at all times. Teachers insist upon good conduct <br />and do everything they can to make the journey one of <br />many worthwhile learning experiences. <br />This year trips have been taken to: <br />The Cape Cod Museum of Natural Science, Brewster, <br />Mass. <br />The Ocean Spray Cranberry Co., Onset, Mass. <br />The Science Museum, Boston, Mass. <br />The Peabody Museum at Harvard University. <br />Sports <br />Our 7th and 8th grade baseball and basketball teams <br />have had several games with surrounding junior high <br />schools. Because of our small size compared to other schools, <br />we have been unable to win many games, but the experi- <br />ence and fellowship growing out of the games has been <br />very rewarding. The girls cheering squad made their suits <br />as part of their domestic science course. They are as at- <br />tractive as their cheers. <br />Graduation <br />Our graduation exercises were highlighted by the mes- <br />sage of an outstanding citizen of Cape Cod, Col. William M, <br />Tow (retired) of Falmouth, Mass. In his message to the <br />graduates, Col. Tow emphasized: <br />"Eighth Graders today know more than the ancient <br />scholars." <br />"Knowledge of the world doubles every ten years." <br />"As adults we have civic responsibilities, but with re- <br />sponsibilities we have civic obligations." <br />
