REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 

To the School Board of Hampton, N. H. 

I herewith present to you my annual report as Superintendent 

of your Schools. It will consist of the statistical 

reports of the school year 1940-1941 as reported to the 

State Board of Education, the financial statement of the 

Hampton School District as of June 30, 1941, the enrollment 

of pupils in September 1941 and the attendance roll 

of honor for the past complete year. The Report of the 

School Treasurer and a statement of the bond account as 

shown by the balance sheet are also included. 

The school year began September 3, 1941 with an enrollment 

of 468. This compares with the September 1940 

figure of 442. During the past five years our school population 

has increased from 336 to the present 468. These 

same years see an increase in the number of tuition pupils 

from 27 to 84. The Senior High School has a total enrollment 

of 191 but due to unsettled conditions there have 

been more pupils entering and leaving than usual. The 

number of actual attendance has held at about 170. A 

school of two hundred pupils can be operated more efficiently 

than a school of one hundred. A wider variety of 

subjects can be taught, teachers' fields of instruction narrowed 

and specialized and the pupils' interests better 

guarded under the larger set-up. For this reason, I believe 

it is definitely to the advantage of our own children that 

tuition pupils be welcomed into our high school. 

THE TEACHING STAFF 

With two teachers added to the staff of our schools, 

Hampton now employs eighteen regular teachers in 

system. Seven are on the Academy staff 

its 

and ten at the 

[ 107 ]

Centre School with Miss Tobey devoting her mornings 

to the Academy and afternoons at the Centre School. Mrs. 

Coombs and Mrs. Naves are in charge of Music and Art 

respectively. 

We have five new teachers in Hampton—three replacing 

teachers and two additional teachers. Miss Velna 

Adams is instructor in the Junior High School. She is a 

graduate of Bates College in the class of 1941. Her subjects 

are those formerly taught by Stuart Carter who left 

us to take the principalship of the North Hampton Center 

School. Miss Arlene Waite replaces Mrs. Dorothea Stevens 

in the Academy. She is a graduate of Worcester 

Teachers College and a teacher of two years' experience. 

Our Commercial teachers is Miss Lucille Smith. She has 

taught for two years and is a member of the Plymouth 

Teachers College, Class of 1939, graduating from the 

commercial teacher course. Miss Ruth Wight is the teacher 

of French and Latin, a graduate of Bates College with 

five years' teaching experience in the State of Maine. Mr, 

Forrest Parker, a Keene Teachers' College graduate, has 

charge of the new Mechanic Arts work, which the School 

Board established this year as explained in the School 

District Meeting of March 1941. There has been no 

change in the personnel of the grade teachers. These are 

the people fundamentally responsible, not only for the 

work of their grades, but for the success of the pupils in 

their later school life. It is all important that skillful and 

experienced teachers meet the child during the years in 

which first foundations of education are being laid.

Our Nation is now at war. From the President and his 

spokesmen come pleas that our people continue to develop 

their varied avenues of interest and pleasure. The morale 

of the country must be kept high. Our part in the schools 

is to work with the children. We are trying to keep this 

objective before us. 

In our regular classes, in our school 

assemblies, in our school parties and in all our contacts 

one with another the morale of democracy is foremost in 

our minds. 

We must not neglect the broadening activities of the 

school. Of these Music and Art come first to mind. Hampton 

has long made Music a part of its regular course. In 

recent years it has placed Art in its curriculum. Each 

course is under the supervision of a successful teacher. 

The Music work is known by the appearances of the children 

in assemblies, P.T.A. meetings, patriotic exercises 

and at graduation. While these opportunities to appear 

in public are beneficial, it is evident that more occasions 

should be presented. In comparison with Athletics, the 

public appearances of our Music organizations are very 

[ 109 ]

limited. At least one or ;wo musical events should be allotted 

each year on the regular school calendar. 

The work in Art is continually on exhibit in the school. 

For the public, there have been two fine displays of the 

pupils' art work at the school office in the Lane Block. 

The large numbers of people coming to see this exhibit 

bespeak the wide-spread interest in school work. 

HAMPTON ACADEMY AND HIGH SCHOOL 

Hampton is justly proud of its new high school building. 

It is commended by state school officials and by 

school architects. Its plan has furnished the basal groundwork 

for other school building committees. With the introduction 

of the Mechanic Arts Course the entire building 

is now in use. With the introduction of this work 

Hampton is abreast of the demands of wooden education. 

Our school is serving nearly 100% of its pupils—those 

with manual skills as well as those with purely book skills. 

We were fortunate in securing the machines necessary 

for our course before they became unobtainable. The first 

year of the planned four-year course will be satisfactorily 

completed next June. Forty boys are enrolled in it. Tliey 

are being trained for a wôrld in which manual skill 

be in increasing demand. 

will 

Mr. Parker is teaching a night class in Elementary 

Electricity under the Out-of-School Youth Organization 

of the National Government. Twelve and fourteen boys 

attend this class regularly fifteen hours a week through a 

total of one hundred and twenty hours. This is one of the 

Schools' contributions toward national defense and the 

training of defense workers. I hope that Hampton may 

continue this service either under the O.S.Y. sponsorship 

or as a part of its own program. Other courses to be given 

during out-of-school hours to out-of-school people will 

surely follow the present electricity course. There will be 

[ 110 ]

: 

: 

opportunities for our graduates to receive training in 

skills which were not available to them in their high 

school years. There will be opportunities for the adults 

to lay the groundwork for future training in specialized 

fields. There is a probability of offering machine skill 

work to women who desire this training for active defense 

work. Because of our proximity to the Portsmouth 

Navy Yard it seems suitable that such courses be offered 

in Hampton. 

The Headmaster reports on the athletic program as 

follows 

"The athletic program has been unusually successful 

this year because of the fact that we have a large number 

of big boys in the school. They, and their coach, have 

worked hard with most gratifying results. As a result of 

our successes, attendance at the games has been large, 

taxing our seating capacity until we feel that bleachers 

to increase the capacity and save the chairs is 

advisable. 

The type that folds against the wall, although costing 

more, would be most desirable for we use the room for 

many other purposes. The increased attendance at the 

games has given us more money to finance our activities 

than ever before. This we have used to stock equipment 

for both boys and girls." 

It is always of interest to learn of the activities of our 

recent graduates. The following paragraph is from Mr. 

Russell's records 

"Of last year's graduating class, two are attending the 

University of New Hampshire, one the University of 

Michigan, two Wentworth Institute, 

and one Lynn Burdett. 

The reports we have had thus far are satisfactory. 

Of the remainder of the class, two are taking post-graduate 

work, one is in the Coast Guard, and the others have 

found employment in many cases in defense work." 

[ 111 ]

: 

I wish to congratulate the boys of our basketball team. 

Their record is one of which Hampton is proud. A year 

with but one defeat in a complete schedule is a credit to 

the school. The clean sportsmanship of the entire team 

is commented upon favorably by all of its many followers 

both at home and in visited towns. For the second consecutive 

year Hampton is represented in the State Tournament 

at New Hampshire University. The Junior Varsity 

has played some thrilling games this year with the same 

sportsmanship that characterized the Varsity. This group 

promises fine games in coming seasons. The girls' team 

has, this year, met teams of greater experience and larger 

establishment. It has returned many victories to its credit. 

Congratulations are due them also. 

THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT 

In the report of Mrs. Coombs, our music supervisor, 

appear the following summaries 

"In the elementary grades the music work has continued 

along the same lines 

previously followed. A new 

set of books in grade six has added to the enjoyment of 

the class and has helped the continuity of the work in 

the three upper grades. We are now using the new series 

The World of Music' in grades four, five and six. 

"At Christmas time the grades joined in presenting a 

pageant, 'The Nativity' to the Parent Teachers Association 

and the members of the Centre School. 

"The Junior High work is now presented in three 

weekly half hour periods : one seventh grade, one eighth 

grade, and one chorus period including both grades. We 

were fortunate this year in having a group enter our 

seventh grade from Hampton Falls which is very musical, 

and very capable musically. This is especially true 

of the boys. 

[ 112 ]

"Music in the High School is presented in the same 

groups as formerly—Mixed Chorus, Girls* and Boys' Glee 

Clubs, Orchestra and Band. In the vocal classes, a large 

percentage of the members of the entire school are singing 

together. There are about seventy girls and forty-five 

boys in the groups. The greatest number by far of the 

pupils taking music in the High School, are members of 

the two upper classes. And by far the greatest musical 

ability is in those two classes, 

"The Band and Orchestra are carrying on as usual, 

having taken part last year in the New England and State 

Festivals. The Band playing for Hampton and East Kingston, 

Memorial Day, the Orchestra for graduation." 

The following paragraph is a recommendation of Mrs. 

Coombs. It calls attention to a serious lack in our program. 

I hope it may have careful consideration. 

"All our music organizations suffer for lack of opportunity 

to appear before the public. I feel that every form 

of school activity in whatever field, should have a point, 

an aim toward which the pupil may strive, with a view to 

acquitting himself favorably. Unless this 

provided, the work falls lifeless." 

opportunity is 

The present war situation has brought to the minds of 

our people the importance of training our pupils to be 

nationally valuable in time of emergency. One definite 

means of accomplishing this is by instruction in First 

Aid. Hampton has always taught First Aid to its girls 

in the Home Economics course. During the current year 

the standard Red Cross course was taught to the Senior 

Class group. As a result ten girls are to receive the regular 

Red Cross certificates. It is recommended that this 

work be not restricted to the girls in one course but that 

regular classes be conducted for all pupils in either the 

[ 113 ]

Senior or Junior year. These should probably be voluntary 

classes with the Red Cross certificate as the goal. 

Teachers are devoting much extra time to war work 

and will continue to do so. Some are air raid wardens, 

some are taking their turn at observation posts. Some are 

in Red Cross v/ork and a large number are attending 

first aid classes. As citizens and teachers they are under 

a double obligation since by the very fact of war, children 

are placed in added dangers. Children who must hear of 

a confused and war-torn world wherever they turn are 

by that fact less easily taught. This necessitates added 

skill and added preparation on the part of the teacher. 

This fact will be recognized I am sure. 

The American Legion Posts of the third New Hampshire 

District together with their Auxiliaries, purchased 

an Audiometer and presented it to the State Board of 

Education for use in the schools of the third district. This 

machine is the best known method of accurately measuring 

the degree of "loss of hearing" for each individual. 

When the amount of hearing loss is known the teacher 

can arrange the work to the best possible advantage of 

the pupil. This knowledge is of great value eliminating 

unnecessary hardship and possible failure. Our thanks 

for this valuable contribution is rendered the Legion 

Posts. 

Hampton's Parent Teacher Association is actively engaged 

in promoting the welfare of the schools. By means 

of its regular meetings, parents and teachers consider 

common problems. Frequently specialists are called in to 

the meetings to discuss the particular phases with which 

they are familiar. The teas given after school, in the individual 

rooms, are even more valuable. The smaller 

group encourages a free exchange of opinion and is inclined 

to restrict discussion to things of mutual interest. 

Its officers and members are to be congratulated upon 

their organization.

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT 

Following is the yearly report of health work in the 

Hampton Schools: 

The results of physical examinations for the current 

year may be seen in the figures below. The athletic teams 

at the Center and High Schools, and grades one and five 

at the Center School, were examined by the school physician, 

Dr. Bryer, As often as possible, home visits have 

been made in an effort to bring about the correction of 

defects, and to give any aid or advice in regard to illnesses. 

A successful dental clinic is again in progress with Dr. 

Harold Pierson as the school dentist. The dental examinations 

were held at the Center School, and repair work is 

being done in Dr. Pierson's office. 

The school children had the opportunity of a hearing 

test given with the audiometer, which was made available 

to us by the American Legion. There were 371 pupils examined, 

174 at the High School, 186 at the Center School, 

and 11 teachers. Hearing Defects were found in 3 pupils. 

The various civic organizations have been generous 

again with donations for projects. The Monday Club, 

American Legion, and Parent-Teacher Association have 

given toward the cod-liver oil and hot lunch funds, and 

the Red Cross has helped in the dental clinic. Much of 

this work would be impossible wiihout such help.

FRANCES SMITH, R.N. 

School Nurse, 

You as a school board have made your decisions with 

the welfare of the children in mind. Your help to me, as 

the administrator of your schools, has always been valuable. 

I have no fear for the schools of Hampton under 

your guidance.
