REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN December 31, 1965 To the Citizens of Lexington: 43 The year 1965 has seen Lexington take a big step forward in the revitaliza- tion of Lexington Center. The Board reported to you last year that it was going to present to Town Meeting in 1965 a proposal for the widening of Massachu- setts Avenue as a first step in the revitalization process. We can report to you that the proposal was presented to the Town Meeting in 1965 and accepted. Work has already started with the demolition of the first building and the start- ing of construction of its replacement. The Board feels that this first major step will see, within a short period of time, new life added to the center of Lexing- ton. The Board feels that a vital and active center is necessary to the con- tinued progress of the town. The Board during the coming year will continue to work hard to accomplish its objective of an active and attractive downtown Lex- ington. The Board of Selectmen acting as the Board of Public Works wishes to report that the Woodhaven Trunk Sewer, mentioned in our 1964 report as being started, has been completed. A detailed report, prepared by the Super- intendent of Public Works, on the activities of the Public Works Department is included further in this town report. The scope of the Route 3 committee was enlarged to include Route 2. With the proposed widening of Route 2 many problems face the citizens and the town. Under the Chairmanship of Selectmen Robert Cataldo, the commit- tee has held numerous meetings with the State Department of Public Works as well as with citizens of the town affected by the widening. The "Human Relations Study Committee" appointed by the Board of Select- men in 1964 made its report to the Board. The committee report indicated that at this time there was not a need in Lexington for a permanent "Human Rela- tions Commission ". The existing agencies in the town were handling adequately any problems that had arisen. A Human Relations subcommittee, consisting of Selectmen Cole, Cataldo and Mabee was appointed by the Board to work with the existing civil rights group in town with the hope that a better understanding of the problem will develop. In its continuing study to increase the efficiency of the town operation, several steps were taken by the Board. The Board had proposed last year to Town Meeting that the Board receive authorization to appoint a committee to study the problems of additions or renovations to the Town Garage and to have this committee prepare preliminary plans and cost estimates. The Board, in appointing this committee, requested the Appropriation Committee and the Capital Expenditures Committee to have a representative on the committee. In order to keep the Town Meeting Members Association informed, the Board 44 BOARD OF SELECTMEN asked that it send a representative to attend meetings of this committee. The committee is to report back to the Board in time for the Annual Town Meet- ing in 1966. It has been quite evident to the Board of Selectmen that the growth of the town necessitated some changes in the town's financial operation. As the first step, the Board requested the Town's Representative to the General Court to submit a bill which would create the position of Comptroller. The Board of Selectmen in arriving at this decision consulted with and had the complete ap- proval of the Appropriation. Committee. The bill has been passed and signed into law, subject to the acceptance by the town. It will be submitted to the An- nual Meeting in 1966 for its consideration. During the year forty-five regular meetings were held. During budget and Town Meeting time many other special meetings were held. The Board has con- tinually, throughout the year, kept a close working relationship with the other boards, commissions and committees of the town. It is our feeling that only through complete cooperation of all groups can we make Lexington the kind of town we all want it to be. The Board of Selectmen, throughout the year, had many hearings with in- dividual citizens and groups of citizens with problems peculiar to their neigh- borhoods. In all cases fair and impartial hearings were given all concerned. The Board looks forward to 1966 as another year of progress for the Town. Respectfully submitted, LINCOLN P. COLE, JR., Chairman LEVI G. BURNELL ROBERT CATALO GEORGE C. SHELDON IRVING H. MABEE Board of Selectmen 45 January 22, 1965 Town Clerk, Town Treasurer, James J. Carroll died January 22, 1965.

As citizens and as elected representatives of the birthplace of American Liberty, we know how precious is the right to vote and the right peaceably to assemble and petition government for redress of grievances. We are deeply disturbed that today, almost on the 190th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, such violent hostility to these rights exists. We call upon governmental officials at every level to use their full powers to secure for each and every American the full exercise of the rights guaranteed in our Constitution, and we dedicate ourselves accordingly. When these rights are truly secure, it will again be a "glorious morning for America." Carried Unanimously 8:15 P.M. ARTICLE 2. J.

There shall be in the town of Lexington a comptroller to be appointed by the selectmen. The comptroller shall be a citizen of the United States and shall have had at least three years' full -time accounting experience. He shall be subject to the supervision and control of the selectmen and shall devote his entire time to the performance of his duties and the supervision of the employees of his department.

He may be removed by the selectmen for cause and the vacancy filled by appointment for the remainder of the unexpired term. SECTION 2. The comptroller shall have, in addition to the powers and duties conferred and imposed upon town accountants, the following powers and duties: (a) He shall prescribe the methods of installation and exercise supervision of all accounting records of the several officers, boards, departments, committees and commissions of the town; provided, however, that any change in the system of accounts shall first be discussed with the select- men and the officers, boards, departments, committees and commissions affected. (b) He shall establish standard practices relating to all accounting matters and procedures and the co- ordination of systems throughout the town, including clerical and office methods, records, reports and procedures as they relate to accounting matters and shall prepare and issue rules, reg- ulations and instructions relating thereto, which, when approved by the selectmen, shall be binding upon all officers, employees and depart- ments of the town. (c) He shall draw all warrants upon the treasurer for the payment of bills, drafts and orders chargeable to the several appropriations and other ac- counts. (d) Prior to submitting any warrant to the selectmen, he shall examine and approve as not being fraudulent, unlawful or excessive, all bills, drafts and orders covered thereby; and, in connection with any such examina- tion, he may make inspection as to the quality, quantity and condition TOWN CLERK 127 of any materials, supplies or equipment delivered to or received by any officer, board or commission of the town, and may investigate the serv- ices or labor performed for or furnished to any such officer, board or commission.

(e) He shall be in charge of all of the accounting and business ma- chines owned by the town, other than machines used for educational or classroom purposes, and shall allocate the use thereof among the several departments. (f) He shall be responsible for a continuous audit of all accounts and records of the town wherever located. SECTION 3. If the comptroller is unable to perform his duties because of disability or absence, or if the office is vacant because of resignation or death, the selectmen may appoint a temporary comptroller to hold such office and ex- ercise the powers and perform the duties thereof until the comptroller who was disabled or absent resumes his duties or until another comptroller is duly ap- pointed. Said temporary appointment shall be in writing signed by a majority of the selectmen and shall be filed in the office of the town clerk. SECTION 4.

The three permits for two new churches and an addition to another is the same as last year for this type of construction. The twenty permits for swimming pools and enclosures is a new high. The widening of Route 2 and the continued activity in the National Park Area are responsible for most of the twenty-three permits for demolitions and re- locations, one major exception being the demolition of the Hunt Block, a landmark in Lexington Center. There were a great number of complaints received relative to alleged Zoning, Building, Sign and Historic Districts violations. Sixty -four of these required investigations. One violation ended in court action. All others, with the excep- tion of four which have action pending, were resolved. Overall, it has been a very active and diversified year, which without the continued help of other Departments and Officials, would have been a most difficult one. Respectfully submitted, DONALD K.

Respectfully submitted, RALPH E. CHADWICK, Sealer of Weights and Measures PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL DEFENSE December 31, 1965 To the Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 153 The Massachusetts Civil Defense Act defines Civil Defense as the prepara- tion for and the carrying out of all emergency functions (other than military defense functions) for the purpose of minimizing and repairing injury and dam- age resulting from enemy attack or natural disaster. During 1965 the Depart- ment developed a number of contingency plans for both natural disaster and enemy attack situations, and carried out several actual operations. On November 9, 1965, Lexington along with most of the northeastern United States was suddenly without power at the height of the evening rush hour. A Boston paper on November 14, 1965 labelled this the toughest test for Civil Defense since World War II. As a result of advance planning and quick reaction by all segments of the town government the situation in Lexing- ton was notable for its lack of unusual problems. Town employees and Civil Defense volunteers reported to regular or previously assigned duty stations pre- pared to meet any larger emergency. Communications was the key to the massive blackout as it would be in any major emergency. Within minutes of the loss of all electrical power, word was received from the Civil Defense National Warning System that the nation was not under enemy attack, nor was the power failure the result of sabotage. The Town Emergency Operating Center at Cary Hall was made operational. Extra police and firefighters were called to duty along with Public Works De- partment personnel. Civil Defense volunteers provided emergency lighting for the center and other commercial areas as well as staffing eight mobile com- munications units assigned to patrol the residential areas. National Guard per- sonnel called to duty by the Governor were offered to the Director by the com- manding officer of the local unit. Shelter The key element of civil defense plans in the event of an enemy attack is the development of a town -wide fallout shelter system. President Johnson put it this way in a recent special message to Congress on the subject of National Defense: "It is already clear that without fallout shelter for our citizens, all defense weapons lose much of their effectiveness in saving lives. This alone appears to be the least expensive way of saving millions of lives, and the one which has clear value even without other systems." 154 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY The latest survey of existing buildings conducted by the Army Corps of Engineers in the fall of 1964 showed Lexington with 28,020 available spaces. Spaces for the additional 3,300 residents of Lexington could be provided by expedient modification of existing buildings, utilization of home shelters, and shelter spaces in buildings constructed since the last survey was completed. Agreements for the use of 24,623 spaces have been negotiated with building owners. These buildings have been provided with signs indicating the availability of shelter space. The Department has been engaged for the last two years in stocking these public shelter areas with austere supplies of food, water, medical and sanitation items, and radiation detection instruments. At the end of 1965 there were supplies in public shelter areas sufficient to sustain 11,690 people for a two - week period. Supplies for an additional 12,000 people are available at the Fed- eral warehouse, South Boston Naval Annex. During 1966 it is hoped that money will be provided for temporary labor to move these supplies from South Boston into the public shelter areas. The shelter utilization plan developed to provide the most effective use of available shelter has been updated during 1965. This plan assigns occupants of each residence in 'Lexington to a community shelter building. In early 1966 it is planned to distribute information on these shelter locations and general in- structions for the citizens of Lexington. Training The appointment of a training officer in July has enabled the Department to institute a comprehensive training program. Priority is being given to the training of radiological instrument operators and basic civil defense orienta- tion. During 1965, courses in radiological instrument operation were given to all members of the Lexington Fire Department as well as members of the Aux- iliary Fire Deparment. Eight members of the Auxiliary Fire Department also attended rescue training courses at the Topsfield Academy and one resident of Lexington completed the Instructors Course for Disaster Nursing. The training officer attended the Department of Defense Training School in Brooklyn, New York, and completed his training as a radiological monitoring instructor. Plans for accelerated training under emergency conditions are being developed utilizing trained personnel in all town departments. Warning The Civil Defense Warning System was installed during November and December, 1965. This system, with 18 remote locations, has two operating positions, one at the Town Emergency Operating Center in Cary Hall, and the second at the Fire Headquarters on Bedford Street. Completion of this warn- ing system will fill an important need in the total Civil Defense program in Lexington. PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY 155 Radiological During 1965 Lexington continued to receive instruments for the recording of radiation. These instruments are to be used by emergency personnel for measurement of individual exposure and also for use in the various shelter loca- tions and monitoring stations to measure the level of radiation activity. At the present time a total of 420 instruments have been loaned to the Town by the State Civil Defense Agency. These instruments have a total value of $6,203.00. Communications • 'During 1965 a complete survey of the radio communication needs of all Town departments was conducted and a report made to the Board of Selectmen, At the present time Lexington departments are operating with the same basic system as that originally installed for the Town over twenty years ago. In- creased use of the radio by the Police and the Public Works Department indicates that the present single frequency would be grossly inadequate for emergency operation and probably will be inadequate in the immediate future for normal operations. The amateur radio operators, which provides the primary communications link with the State Civil Defense Agency and back -up for the Town radio sys- tem, continued their monthly meetings and drills during 1965. During the November 9th blackout this group, with great dispatch and efficiency, quick- ly manned the Emergency Operating Center at Cary Hall and provided eight radio communications cars for the patroling of the Town. The amateur com- munications operators assisted the Town Celebrations Committee and the Chief Marshal of the April 19th Parade, and they were on duty assisting the Police Department on Saturday, October 30. Auxiliary Fire Members of the Auxiliary Fire Service continued a schedule of weekly meet- ings and training sessions throughout 1965. Modification of the surplus Rescue Truck was completed during the year, and the truck is now equipped with a complete compliment of tools ready to handle any heavy rescue job. Members of the Fire Auxiliary gave 2,512 hours of time during 1965 in- cluding 515 hours covering or assisting the regular department. They contrib- uted 669 hours for special details such as providing light for voting, standby at fireworks displays, and parades. The Civil Defense equipment was used 38 times during the year to respond to emergency situations. Twenty of these responses were by members of the regular department, eighteen were by Auxiliary members. During 1965 six members of the Auxiliary completed the Heavy Duty Rescue Course at the Topsfield Civil Defense Academy, and two members completed 156 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY the Basic Course at the same location. One officer of the Auxiliary attended the Radiological Monitoring Instructors Course at Brooklyn, New York. All members of the Auxiliary were trained as radiological instrument operators dur- ing the year. In conjunction with the Lions Club Fourth of July, the Auxiliary conducted an old- fashioned Firemen's Muster. Fourteen towns competed in spite of rainy weather. This first effort was judged a great success by visiting fire officials. Financial Certain equipment purchased through the Civil Defense program is eligible for partial reimbursement by the Federal Government if this equipment increases the emergency operating capability of the community. During 1965 approval of $12,100.30 of Civil Defense expenditures have been approved by the Fed- eral Civil Defense authorities. $6,050.15 is in process of being reimbursed to Lexington or has already been returned to the excess and deficiency account of the Town. The Federal Government provides local communities with survival supplies to stock approved community fallout shelters. Title to shelter supplies valued at $11,555.50 were turned over to the Town of Lexington during 1965. Shelter supplies with a value of $36,479.98 have been received to date. Lexington also receives as a gift from the Federal Government certain sur- plus Federal equipment and supplies. These items are used in all departments of the Town. Last year $10,815.12 of such property was secured through the Civil Defense program for Town use. PLANNING AND RECREATION REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD FOR THE YEAR 1965 December 31, 1965 To the Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 157 In 1965 the Planning Board held 17 advertised public hearings, required by law for zoning amendments, street name changes and approval of subdivi- sions, and 39 meetings. In an effort to promote closer cooperation and reduce duplication of work the Planning Board initiated and held several joint meetings with the Capital Expenditures Committee, Conservation Commission, Recreation Committee, Traffic Study Committee, Community Planning Organization (for long range financial study), Central Business District Study Group, T.M.M.A. Land Use Committee, Lexington Housing Authority, as well as numerous meetings with the Board of Selectmen. In addition to public hearings required by law, the Planning Board on two occasions met with interested citizens for a preliminary discussion of the 1966 zoning articles and of the plans for the creation of a municipal parking lot between Muzzey and Clarke Streets. The Board plans to continue the policy of working closely and exchanging information with other committees and citizen groups as being of significant benefit to the committees concerned and to the town as a whole. The Town Meeting in 1965 adopted the following Planning Board proposals: Art. 56 -- Rezone 1775 House to R 1 Art. 59 — Clarify purpose of Zoning By -Law and map Art. 60 — Clarify zoning map revisions Art. 70 — Long range study of Lexington's future development Art. 71 — Study of central business district Article 58, rezoning of northwest corner of Lowell and Woburn St. to R 1 was defeated, while Art. 57, rezoning of Carriage House lot to R 1 and Art. 64 permitting apartments in the center, were withdrawn as was the citizens' article 83 for rezoning of land at Rte. 2 south of Woodhaven to apartments. The new Rules and Regulations governing the subdivision of land were reviewed and approved in 1965. Three of previously approved subdivisions were completed, and as of December 31, 1965, $327,000 in bonds were held by the town as security for the completion of subdivisions under construction. The new Rules and Regulations governing the subdivisions of land were adopted by the Planning Board on March 1, 1965, the first revision since 1954. 158 PLANNING AND RECREATION A complete inventory of all land uses in Lexington on a lot by lot basis was done in 1965 in both tabular and map form. A chart showing major land use groups as percentage of total town land is reproduced herewith. INDUSTRY 0.49 % - -; s Al Gip/ 33e RESIDENCE 31.25% INCL. APTS. 025 %n.

These include: Relaxation of lot size (not use) regulations in manufacturing districts Establishment of service and trade districts for contractors, etc. Establishment of neighborhood convenience shopping district Provision for "cluster" developments, saving open land Requirement for consolidation of small lots in one ownership Clarification of conditions and safeguards imposed by the Board of Appeals PLANNING AND RECREATION 159 The Planning Board will also introduce an article for the beautification and improvement of the central business district in the belief that the cost of such improvement will be more than offset by the resulting economic and aesthetic benefit to the town as whole. Federal funds for the long range study approved by the 1965 Town Meet- ing had been applied for in March, but no approval was received from Washing- ton as of the end of the year. In the meantime a Citizens Planning Organiza- tion, headed by Robert V. Whitman, was set up to work with the consultant on this study. Many public- spirited citizens who volunteered their services for the several study committees of the Citizens Planning Organization deserve our rec- ognition and thanks. The Planning Board is particularly grateful to the Land Use Committee of the League of Women Voters and its Chairman, Mrs. Arnold S. Reiman, for their assistance in carrying out land use, small lot and land avail- ability studies. This work couldn't have been done otherwise without the ex- penditure of substantial sums of money. In conclusion the Planning Board wishes to express its sincere thanks to town departments under the control of the Board of Selectmen and of the School Committee, as well as to other elected and appointed town officials and citizens' committees for their splendid cooperation and hopes that this spirit of helpfulness and coordination, so important for efficient and effective work, will continue to be a significant characteristic of Lexington town govern- ment.

RIFFIN Lexington Planning Board REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE December 31, 1965 To the Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: We respectfully submit the following report covering the activities of the 'Recreation Committee for the year 1965. The committee met fifteen times and went on nine field trips during the year. There were also meetings with the Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, Appropriation Committee, Finance Board, School Committee and Engineering 160 PLANNING AND RECREATION Department during which the deliberations of the committee members consid- ered: (1) future planning; (2) immediate requirements for expansion and im- provement of both facilities and program; (3) conducting the recreational pro- gram under the supervision of the Recreation Director. Special field trips were taken with the Engineering and School Departments to complete the planning of the multi - purpose play areas at the East and Center Playgrounds. Town Meeting 'Members were informed on the site as to the use of the multi - purpose area at the Center. A survey was also held with the En- gineering and School Departments to update the cinder track at the Center Playground. A meeting was held at the Estabrook School with the parents of retarded and emotionally disturbed children for the purpose of furthering the recreation programs for these children. The topographical plan of the Harring- ton area was completed after discussion with the architect and Engineering De- partment. The Swenson farm was also observed for the possibility of future rec- reation areas. Near future planning involved completion of the Worthen Road area at the Center and Baskin area. A junior size backstop was installed at Baskin. A junior size backstop was also installed at the Worthen area junior field plus a major backstop at the new major baseball diamond at the same Center - Worthen area development. Two multi- purpose hot top play areas were also completed — one at the East Playground and the other at the Center Playground. It is the committee's policy and intention to develop recreation areas in various parts of the Town on public lands. Further development of said areas will de- pend upon the use and interest shown by the citizens of the particular land areas. Future improvement and expansion of facilities include the development of Harrington as a major playground, a multi- purpose play area at the Baskin Playground and a new junior size backstop at Diamond. Also the development of play lots in the Marvin and Poplar Street sections plus the loaming and seed- ing of the [Rindge Avenue play lot and the resurfacing of the cinder track at the Center Playground. The program was expanded as follows: 1.) The older retarded and emotionally disturbed children were allowed in the shallow end of the deep pool for the first time, having been confined to the wading pool in other years. They also participated in water polo with the children of other playgrounds —a first. 2.) A Saturday morning recreation program was introduced for the retarded and emotionally disturbed children. This program is held in the Franklin School Gymnasium. 3.) All programs for this group of children have been shifted to Franklin School where the conditions are ideal for these children. 4.) Golf lessons were also introduced and held in the High School Field House. 107 persons took lessons. PLANNING AND RECREATION 161 5.) Diamond was open for one week on a trial basis for a future summer play - playground. 6.) A new skating area was developed at Franklin School and like all other out- door skating areas, depending on the weather, was utilized at every moment. The following table compares the attendanace on •Lexington's playgorunds during the last three years: 1963 1964 1965 Playgrounds 12,874 15,547 15,679 9 Weeks Arts & Crafts 7,212 6,439 6,360 9 " Swimming Pool 24,387 23,552 22,016 10 " Cool summer weather was ideal for playground activity with attendance reach- ing an all time high of 15,679. However pool attendance dropped to 22,016 with the evening swim session suffering the most due to many evenings too cold for swimming. Arts and crafts dropped slightly to 6,360. This was due to more activities such as basketball, girls' softball, tag football, etc. in the cooler afternoon sessions. Inter - playground activity was again held at the Center Playground utilizing all the major facilities. Girls' volley ball matches were held on Monday and Wednes- day mornings followed by swimming in the pool. The boys' junior and senior baseball games were held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings with water polo and free swimming in the pool at the completion of the contests. Holding all events in the cool mornings enables the teams to report back to their respective playgrounds for the afternoon sessions. Inter - playground basketball was still very popular and with the addition of multi - purpose play areas at East and Center Playgrounds the program will be expanded. Attendance figures at the playgrounds were as follows: Center 3,965 East (Adams) 3,652 North (Parker) 2,758 Hastings 2,968 Harrington 2,336 15,679 1.)

Respectfully submitted, VINCENT E. HAYES, Chairman RICHARD S. SPARROW COLBY E. KELLY PAUL HANSON ROBERT E. BOND Recreation Committee REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGISTRARS To the Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: December 31, 1965 167 The following is the report of the Board of Registrars for the year 1965. The Town Clerk's Office was open daily throughout the year, plus five even- ing dates for registration of new voters. Total number of voters as of January 1, 1965 14,977 Voters taken off as of February 9, 1965 — 645 New voters registered as of February 9, 1965 + 170 Total number of voters as of February 9, 1965 14,502 Voters taken off as of May 3, 1965 — 402 Total number of voters as of May 3, 1965 14,100 Voters taken off as of October 16, 1965 — 205 New voters registered as of October 16, 1965 + 310 Total number of voters as of December 31, 1965 14,205 Total voters taken off in 1965 1,252 Total new voters for 1965 480 Respectfully submitted, MARY R. McDONOUGH, Clerk, Board of Registrars CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES December 31, 1965 To the Citizens of Lexington: 169 The five- member Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees is made up this year of one Selectman, two School Committee members, and two members of the clergy. At the annual meeting of the Trustees in October, the same five people who have served together since March agreed to serve for a second year. This will provide a continuity which is rare for this governing body of the library. The accumulated knowledge and deepened commitment should prove helpful as we seek to improve the Library's services to the townspeople. Late in the year the Trustees accepted with regret the resignation of the Assistant Director, Mr. William F. Buckley. We wish him good success in his new assignment with the U. S. Government. In the area of administration, two decisions of the Board have enhanced the quality and potential of the library staff. First, as a result of a study carried out by our Advisory Committee, we adopted in March a new salary schedule for professional personnel, to go into effect in 1966. We are now in a position to compete for the best available people and offer them opportunities for advancement, both in position and in compensation, commensurate with their duties and qualifications. Second, the Trustees have instituted a three -part plan to encourage further study by staff members. Incentives for self- improvement of both the profession- al and non - professional members of the staff are to be provided by payment of tuition fees for approved courses and through granting of step increases upon their completion. These measures, by rewarding efforts at self- improv- ment, will both add to the usefulness of participating staff members, and in turn, improve library services to the people of Lexington. Disposition of State Aid funds had been the subject of considerable dis- cussion by the Board. These funds are paid to all libraries in the Commonwealth which meet certain minimum standards set up by the Board of Library Commis- sioners. The enabling act was designed to assist public libraries in improving and extending their services. Lexington's libraries have always enjoyed fine sup- port from the town and far surpass the minimum standards. The Trustees real- ize that there is always room for improvement and feel very strongly that the 170 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY State Aid funds shall be used for that purpose. ra:t of the anticipated revenue for 1966 has already been allocated to retain a specialist to carry out a study of Lexington's needs and aspirations with respect to its libraries. His report will relate the library function to other town functions in terms of desired and desirable services now and in the future and discuss means for fulfilling those needs. The remainder of tl -e funds will be used to supply the needs already in existence but which it is felt cannot be justified in the regular operating budget. Special exhibits continue to enhance the attraction of the Cary Memorial Library as a cultural center of the town. For their participation in the art ex- hibits, we are grateful to the following individuals and institutions. For assistance in the program of monthly art shows in the Piper Gallery, the Munson- Williams - Proctor Institute of Utica, New York, Mrs. Noel Posternak, Mr. Paul Ciano, the Obelisk Gallery and the Ward -Nasse Gallery of Boston, the Rockport Art Association, and the followin artists: Mr. Joseph Connolly, Mrs. Susan Lowenschuss, Mr. James Mickelson, Mrs. Vivian Berman, Mrs. Betty Savenor and Mr. Alfred Christiana. For lending materials for exhibit in the Lexington Room, the Lexington His- torical Society, the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, Mr. Alan Adams and the Staff of the Lexington Minuteman, the National Park Service, and Dr. and Mrs. J. J. G. McCue. For their gifts of books, periodical subscripticns and other material to enrich the Library's Collection: Miss Millicent Taylor, Mr. Lloyd Rathbun, Mr. Austin Fisher, Mr. D. F. Treffs, and Miss Barbara Davis. For their assistance in interlibrary loans and on reference work: the Lincoln Laboratory of 'M.I.T., the Widener Library, the Boston Public Library, the Rob- bins Library of Arlington, the Concord Free Public Library, the Beatley Library of Simmons College, the Baker Library of the Harvard Business School, the Chenery Library of Boston University and the Goldfarb Library of Brandeis Uni- versity. Again we express our deep gratitude to members of the Morning Study Group of the Lexington Garden Club for their r enerosity in providing beautiful decora- tions during the Christmas season. Finally, the Trustees extend their thanks to the Director for initiating, pro- moting and administering the many programs Cr. the library with talent and taste. Respectfully submitted, ELIZABETH H.

McCue, Chairman Mrs. Ruth Morey Louis Zehner * Executive Committee REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR December 31, 1965 To the Trustees of the Cary Memorial Library: The past year has shown several trends in library service to be continuing: Lexington adults are reading more, with the emphasis on serious non - fiction. They are consulting the reference services of the library more frequently, and in general coming to the library with specific needs in mind. This has resulted in an increase in interlibrary loans —many of them from university and indus- trial libraries —and in more requests to reserve books. Our youngest readers —the preschool children and those in grades one and two— are both increasing in numbers and reading more, as parents realize the great advantages of early and varied acquaintance with books. Middle grades readers, on the other hand, are using the library primarily as a back -up resource for our excellent and growing school libraries. Two limitations of the Library's present physical plant are becoming increas- ingly evident. The first is in the lack of suitable space for group programs, for 172 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY both adults and children. Many activities which have been successfully receiv- ed in past years, and have contributed greatly to making the Library a cultural focus of the community have had to be discontinued or drastically curtailed. These include children's programs of all kinds, film showings, musical events, and adult education. The Library, which enjoys the patronage of a community that values and uses books, is one of the few modem library buildings to lack some kind of public meeting area. The second limitation is a result of the overall arrangement of interior space. Basically, the Library consists of a large, traditional reading room and an equally traditional wing of book stacks. This arrangement, (although ameliorated by the existence of three very pleasant rooms, for "Recent Books ", "Art and Music" and "Periodicals ", and by the placing of the Business Collection at one end of the Reading Room), leads to excessive noise when the Library is busy, discourages quiet, individual study, and does not encourage full and free use of books in stacks. The most success- ful modern library designs mingle seating and study areas with book shelving and, like a well designed retail store, bring the reader into easy and intimate contact with books at every turn. Many Lexington readers never get past the Recent Books Room to our unattractive stack areas, where our excellent and growing book collection is receiving less use than it should enjoy. These considerations and many others will be studied in the coming year as the Library conducts a survey of itself and its services to the community, and attempts to establish realistic guidelines for future growth. The Director wishes to express his appreciation to the Trustees for a year of unusually demanding work, and to the Staff for maintaining a high level of performance of which they may justly be proud.

Z • o E O C HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES REFORT OF THE TOWN CELEBRATIONS COMMITTEE December 31, 1965 To the Honorable Board of Selechmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 177 The Committee met 32 times during 1965. Twenty -five of those meetings were attended by representatives of the many civic, fraternal, and military groups in Town to help us plan the celebrations of Patriots Day, Memorial Day, U. N. Day, Veteran's Day, and the special celebration this year that permanently raised the national colors over Lexington's Battle Green. The cooperation we received from those Groups and many Town departments— particularly the Park and Police Departments — continues to be outstanding and sincerely appreciated. Patriots' Day Monday's celebration of Patriots Day was preceeded on Sunday by two per- formances of the Linn Village Drum Band and patriotic song fest on the Battle Green. This practice started as part of the 250th Anniversary program and has continued for the past two years because of the closeness of Patriots Day to Sunday. The Committee does not, however, intend to make this a permanent part of Patriots Day. The morning parade left Adams School promptly at 7:00 a.m. preceeded as usual by "The Spirit of 1776" under the direction of Doug Maxner. Although streets and sidewalks were generally clear (but wet), participants stood in about a quarter of an inch of snow, left from Easter Sunday's storm, on the Battle Green. During brief ceremonies on the Battle Green immediately following the parade the Lexingtcn Lions Club presented their White Tricorne Hat Award for outstanding service to the Town to Msgr. George Casey, Pastor of St. Brigid's Church. Memorial services conducted by the Lexington Minute Men and the DAR, the Lions Club road races, and the customary arrival of Revere and Dawes at Capt. Parker's statue completed the morning program. The five division afternoon parade, under the command of Capt. Donald M. Guiler, past commander of the Lexington Minute Men, stepped off from East Lexington at 2:00 p.m. "The Spirit of 1776" had its customary job of announcing the coming of the parade along the parade route. The Lexington Jaycees awarded their House Decorating Contest prize to Mr. and Mrs. A. Bartoletti of 1 132 Massachusetts Avenue. Battle Green Chapter, Order of DeMo- lay, and the Lexington Jaycees won the Lexington Chamber of Commerce trophies for the best floats in their respective divisions. 178 HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES Memorial Day Observance of the day began with a bus trip to Westview Cemetery for mem- orial services by Lexington's veteran's groups and the Minute Men. The Memorial Day Parade, commanded by Cornelius A. Cronin, Past Commander, Stanley Hill Post 38, American Legion stepped cif from Munroe School at 10:00 a.m. After stops at Munroe Cemetery, Cary Hall, the Old Burying Ground, and the memorial monument on the Battle Green, the parade formed near the flag pole for short ceremonies. Col. Leo A. Kiley, Commanding Officer, United States Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, was the principal speaker. After the ceremon- ies, the parade marched to Cary Hall for dismissal. United Nations Day The day began with the raising of the United States colors and the U. N. flag over the Battle Green at 7:00 a.m. Because of limited assembly facilities at the Senior High School, the U. N. Day assembly of the Senior Class has been discon- tinued. Prizes for the essay and poster contests sponsored by the League of Women Voters were, consequently, awarded as part of the Flag raising ceremo- nies. Miss Madeline McCauley and Mr. James Rosenblum won the Rotary Club prizes (chaperoned trips to the United Nations Building in New York City) for their essays. Miss Marcia Pcliti and Mr. Jamien Morehouse won savings bonds awarded by the Lexington Lodge of Elks for their U. N. posters. Pupils of Maria Hastings School staged a most effective U. N. program under the direction of their principal, Miss Margaret A. Keefe. Planting of a U. N. tree, provided by the Lexington Jaycees, on the school grounds completed their program. Retail merchants of Lexington helped the observance of U. N. Day by dis- playing posters during the week preceeding that day. Veterans' Day Lexington observed Veteran's Day with a parade from Munroe School at 10:00 a.m. followed by appropriate ceremonies on the Battle Green. Edward Fitzgerald, Past Commander, Post 3007 Veterans of Foreign Wars was Chief Marshal. Major Lincoln P. Cole, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, gave the main address. As on Memorial Day, the parade reformed after the Battle Green ceremonies and marched to Cary Hall for dismissal. This procedure eliminates the informal procedure of dismissal from the Battle Green. The concensus indi- cates that the additional time and marching are well spent. Permanent Flag Raising Some time ago Mr. Alan Adams suggested editorially in the "Lexington Minute Man" that the Town should be permitted to fly the United States flag permanently on the Battle Green flag pole. The Lexington Jaycees adopted that suggestion and, with the help of the Honorable F. Bradford Morse, M.C., suc- ceeded in getting the eighty -ninth Congress to pass a bill granting that permis- sion. In November, President Johnson signed into law House Bill HR5493 (which had been introduced earlier by Mr. Morse). That bill permits Lexington to fly the flag twenty -four hours a day over the Battle Green provided the flag is suit- ably illuminated. The Jaycees had earlier provided the required lighting. The Town permanently raised the flag on November 21, 1965. HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES 179 Because the ceremonies were unique the Committee feels that they should be described in some detail in this report. Those details follow. The Yankee Division Band under the direction of Warrant Officer Collins gave a concert on the Battle Green from 3:00 p.m. until the arrival of the parade. Mr. Richard Michelson, Past President of the Lexington Jaycees, was Chief Marshal of the parade which stepped off from Muzzey Junior High School at 3:30 p.m., and proceeded to the Battle Green. Representatives of Lexington's veterans, military, civic, and youth groups formed the parade. The Lexington Senior High School Band and the Lexington Minute Men provided music. After a welcome to participants, guests, and townspeople by Lincoln P. Cole, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen and master of Ceremonies, the Rev. Harold T. Handley, Rector of the Church of Our Redeemer, gave the invocation. Sgt. Laurence Stone, Lexington Minute Men, sounded "Retreat" while a color guard composed of Earl Batson, VFW, Raymond Lewis, American Legion, James Bro- deric, Marine Corps League, and Arthur Miller, Lexington Minute Men, lowered the old flag. After the Yankee Division Band played the National Anthem, Mr. Broderic presented the flag to Mr. Michelson who, in turn, presented it to Mrs. Ruth Morey, President of the Lexington Historical Society. Mr. Cole introduced the guests on the reviewing stand and presented the Hon. F. Bradford Morse, M.C., as the main speaker. Following his speech, Mr. Morse received the new flag from the Lexington Jaycees from Mr. Michelson. Mr. Morse presented the new flag to William Brenchick, Marine Corps League. Under the command of Mr. Brenchick, a second color guard composed of Donald Albertine, Lexington Minute Men, A. T. Ferry, American Legion, William Hosford, V.F.W., and Mr. Brenchick raised the new flag, while Sgt. Stone sounded "To the Colors ". The flag lights went on as the flag passed the yardarm near the center of the flag pole. The Rev. Floyd Taylor, of the First Parish Church gave a short prayer. Mr. Cole then led the people in pledging allegiance to the flag. The ceremonies were concluded with the playing of the National Anthem by the Senior High School Band followed by Monsignor George Casey's benediction. As an adjunct to the flag raising ceremonies, the Board of Selectmen issued a proclamation appropriate to the occasion. The proclamation was published in "The Lexington Minute Man" and the Committee had a limited number of copies printed for distribution to guests, participants, and the Town's public Schools. A copy of that proclamation is attached to this report.

Ac- cording to law all Communicable Diseases must be reported either by the at- tending physician or by parent or guardian. 1 113 Lexington Visiting Nurse Association The Lexington Visiting Nurse Association made 1671 house visits on behalf of the Health Department. These calls were as follows: Communicable Diseases 514 Tuberculosis 119 Health Supervision: Infants under 1 year 338 Pre - School Children 650 School Children 50 PUBLIC SERVICES 183 Immunization Programs In 1964 a program for immunization on an annual basis was established. The program is conducted by the Health Department assisted by the 'Lexington Visiting Nurse Association and the School Department Nurses. The Diphtheria - Tetanus and Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus (Booster Dose only) Clinic, a one day clinic, concentrating on children in School Grades I, V, X, Town employees in the high risk group and any other child who has not had a Booster Dose within a five year interval was held in April. A total of 427 in- noculations were given at this clinic. The Poliomyelitis Oral Sabin Vaccine Clinics, a total of four separate clinics, were held in March and May. 892 doses of Oral Sabin Vaccine were given at these clinics. The Flu Clinic is offered to Town Employees and School Department Per- sonnel on an annual basis. This year two separate clinics were held and a total of 377 innoculations given. Health Information In cooperation with the nation -wide program to raise immunization levels against tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough and poliomyelitis an intensive news- paper and advertising campaign was conducted in the early Spring. Special notices were produced and distuributed along with newspaper ad- vertising to secure increased communication to the citizens. Seventy -five hun- dred leaflets reached all households by being enclosed with Tcwn Water Bills. All Communiques regarding immunization and communicable diseases from the Surgeon General's Office and the State Health Department were relayed to all local physicians. In cooperation with the Lexington Lions Club and the Massachusetts Heart Association a program on "How To Live With Your Heart" was held at Cary Hall. Noted specialists in the Cardiovascular Field were available to answer questions and discuss problems with individuals. Medical Emergency Service The Medical Emergency Service has proved very satisfactory. Any person can obtain a physician in case of emergency 24 hours a day by calling the Police Department, Fire Department or dialing VO 2 -8282. Premature Infants There were 27 premature infant births reported to the Health Department in 1965. According to State Lew, the Board of Health must pay for the hos- pitalization of a premature infant if the family is found to be in need. One case qualified to receive assistance in the expense of special premature infant care. 184 PUBLIC SERVICES Rabies Clinic The annual 'Rabies Clinic was held in May and of the 2082 dogs licensed in Lexington for 1965, 869 were brought to the clinic for innoculation. All dog - owners are urged to take advantage of this free clinic not only to protect your own dog but also to aid in the prevention of rabies. Many dogs are being innoculated privately so the actual number vaccinated is relatively high. Pre - School Eye Screening Program In cooperation with the Pre - School Parent Teachers Association and the Lex- ington Lions Club the Lexington Health Department participated in a Pre-School Eye Screening Program for children three and one -half to six years of age. Of the 210 children screened 6 were referred to their private physicians for fur- ther examination. Glaucoma Clinic In cooperation with the Lexington Lions Club and the Massachusetts Divi- sion of the Blind the Health Department participated in a Glaucoma Screening Program in May, 1965. All patients were notified of the results of the screen- ing and patients with any abnormalities were advised to consult their private physicians for further treatement. Of the 418 people screened 22 were re- ferred for further treatment and 15 were advised to be tested for glasses or have their present glasses checked. Senior Citizens Organization In the Fall of 1965, through the assistance of the Lexington Board of Health, a Senior Citizens Club of Lexington was organized. Mr. R. L. McQuillan Chairman of the Board of Health, was appointed co- ordinator for the organization of the club. More than 200 Senior Citizens have applied for membership to this club. Further objectives to broaden the scope of activity include petitions for an official Town agency, a Council on Aging, and a Town approved recreation program. Dental Clinic The Dental Clinic and the Dental Health ,Education program is conducted under the supervision of Miss Isabel S. Cordeiro. Doctor Nyman Halfond, of Norwood, is employed by the 'Board of Health, on a part -time basis for the clinic work which is being held two mornings a week. The six -month follow -up program continues to prove most successful in detecting dental defects before they become extensive. Dental Certificates are a very important part of the follow -up program. In the lower grades the dental buttons, which were introduced several years ago, still seem to be a source of stimulation. PUBLIC SERVICES 185 In the 1964 -65 academic year, there was an increase of one percentage point, in the number of elementary children submitting dental certificates. In three classrooms, in which every child submitted a dental certificate, banners and letters of commendation from the Board of Health were presented. Dental Health education continues to be an important phase of the dental hygienists' work. Posters were distributed to all the elementary classrooms, the health rooms in the Junior and Senior High. A dental display was provided in each school during National Children's Dental Health Week. Dental Health mo- tion pictures and filmstrips were shown in the lower grades of all the elementary schools throughout the year. In the fourth, fifth and sixth (Jade level, charts and graphs along with a lecture type series were presented. All recommendations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (Dental Division) for the protection of patients and personnel have been com- plied with in regard to x -ray equipment and films used in the clinic. Report of thel Dental Hygienist Dental screening examinations were completed in all the elementary schools. During the Fall term there were 4749 children examined and 673 defect notices mailed. The Dental Health Program for he past year included: Classroom Talks (grades 1 -6) 198 School Visits 187 Conferences 37 Oral Prophylaxis 85 Luride Treatments 36 X -rays 74 Operative Report of the Dental Clinic PATIENTS Elementary Echools Junior High Schools Senior High School FILLINGS Deciduous Permanent EXTRACTIONS Deciduous Permanent TREATMENTS EXAMINATIONS Clinics Days (A .M. only) Appointments Completed Emergency Treatments 330 327 2 1 414 161 253 47 37 10 16 111 40 330 72 4 186 PUBLIC SERVICES Mystic Valley Children's Clinic Mr. James West continued as the Board of Health representative to the Mystic Valley Children's Clinic Board of Directors. The clinic is lotted at 22 Muzzey Street, Lexington and provides mental health services for children and their parents of Arlington, Bedford, Lexington, Winchester, and Woburn. Each Town is assessed according to their population. Referrals are made to the clinic by physicians, the clergy, school personnel, and law enforcement officers or a parent may call the clinic direct. No child is ever seen without the parents full participation and approval. The clinic staff has been increased to six full -time professional workers and two one -half time professional workers. The operational report for Lexington residents is as follows: Total number of applications (all towns) 336 LEXINGTON RESIDENTS: Applications for clinical services 78 Cases carried over January 1, 1965 23 Diagnostic and treatment interviews 464 Interview Hours by Staff 571 Additional Staff Hours on Cases 832 'Hours of Staff Consultation to Community Ar encies 214 Total number of Staff Hours for Lexington Res - dents 1617 REFERRAL SOURCES: Schools 21 Medical 30 Social Agencies 14 Self and Friends 13 Mystic Valley Children's Clinic Director's Report Recognition of the clinic by a national standard setting body came this year with our election to associate membership in the American Association of Psychiatric Clinics for Children. During an onsite visit an inspector reviewed several aspects of the clinic's work including adequacy of diagnostic evalua- tions, the professional qualifications of the staff, and the capacity of our staff to function as a team when undertaking the evaluation and treatment of children PUBLIC SERVICES 187 and their families. I am pleased to say that we passed this critical examination with distinction. The high professional standing of the clinic had already been attested to by the fact that both Simmons College School of Social Work and Tufts University School of Medicine have entrusted the training of students to us. A.A.P.C.C., thus became the third agency to testify to the high quality of service provided by the Mystic Valley Children's Clinic. A fourth, Harvard University Graduate School of Education, now assigns a graduate student for training in school counseling under the clinic's supervision. The clinic staff continues to struggle to meet the needs for service which are felt by the people of our area, felt needs which are both intense and broad. Since July 1, 1963 when we reactivated the Mystic Valley Children's Clinic, this clinic staff has simultaneously processed some 785 applications for clinic service, provided long term therapy to some of these people and short term therapy to others. We have met regularly with school guidance personnel in 4 of our 5 communities, and in all five communities have provided mental health consulta- tion to the other community agencies responsible for the care of children; phy- sicians, clergy, law enforcement, health and welfare agencies. This consultation service offers guidance to the school and other community agencies not only in identifying problems appropriate for referral to the clinic, but also in dealing directly with less serious problems aiming ultimately toward prevention of serious mental disability. We have evaluated children for pre - school nurseries for the retarded in Arlington and in Winchester (serving both Winchester and Woburn) and offered consultation to the teachers of these children. We have participated in the Arlington Council of Social Agencies. During this past summer we in- itiated planning conferences in all our communities to enlist community support for the summer program for disadvantaged children sponsored by the Federal Government and called Operation Head Start. To three of the resulting four Oper- ations in our area, we provided psychological testing of the children and mental health consultation to the directors, teachers and aides. Emotional and mental problems detected among these children will be followed in collaboration with the school systems. We have met with many groups both inside and outside of the usual working day in all the communities and discussed subjects which range from; What is psychiatry, Are we pressuring our children and Do we have a delinquency problem? During most of this time a professional staff of 5 has carried the load. We are pleased to announce the addition to our staff of a community mental health nurse, Mrs. Patricia Black. In September she went from part to full -time work at the MVCC, applying her specific skill both to clinical services and to con- sultation relationships in the community. We have initiated a group intake, diagnostic and therapy program in an effort to maximize the ability of our lim- ited staff to meet the overwhelming demand for clinical services. These partial successes however must not obscure the fact that the clinic is again in crisis. The actual need for increased staff and the related one of adequate housing are acute. 188 PUBLIC SERViCES Services to Resid rtes cr ach Community January 1, 1965 - December 31, 1965 1.

The Board of Health expresses its gratituriie to the cooperation of citizens of the Town in enforcing our Health Laws. During the past year, the Board experienced great difficulty in obtaining a Mai'.3 persistent approach to enforce- ment of regulations in the area of milk sanitation. The power to issue and revoke milk dealer licenses has been vested by State Law in the community health agency. This power includes the right of adotion of loca! regulations to cover the standards of quality and safety in milk products. The Town has been pro- 190 PUBLIC SERVICES tected for many years by a local regulation which requires pasteurization of all milk products sold and distributed. The State has never adopted this regulation and many communities are still not protected by such a regulation. A violation of this regulation, which occurred late in 1964, resulted in a license revocation. However, appeals to higher courts resulted in a delay in effecting the revocation for more than a year. The Board concludes and reports that careful study by Town Government should be considered in order that any Board or Committee will not be handicapped in carrying out its enforcement responsibilities. Respectfully submitted, RUFUS L. McQUILLAN, Chairman PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE LIIRZCTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH December 31, 1965 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 191 The following is the report of the Director of Public Health for the year 1965. Laboratory Routine laboratory analysis of milk and multi -use restaurant utensils was performed by the Food Industries Laboratory of Winthrop. Bacteriological analysis of water from private drinking supplies and from surface water was performed. Additional water analysis (chemical and physical) of both drinking and other waters was performed by the Metropolitan District Commission Water Laboratory and the Lawrence Experimental Laboratory of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Food Sanitation All eating establishments including hotels, restaurants, and school cafeterias were routinely inspected for maintenance of sanitary standards and for proper methods of storage, preparation, and dispensing of foods. Food markets, bakeries, and catering establishments were inspected for maintenance of sanitary standards and for safe practices of handling and trans- portation of food products. Multi -use utensils used in eating establishrnents were subjected to routine analysis to determine compliance with the regulation for bacteriacidal treatment. Of the 397 samples collected and tested 42 or 11 95 were over the accepted standard. Owners or managers were notified to correct these deficiencies. Re- sampling was done to determine compliance. The new regulations cf the State Sanitary Code, Article X, became effective in 1965. Under these new regulations, thirty -six annual permits, four temporary permits, and three mobile unit permits were issued for food services. Milk Sanitation There were twenty -one licenses issued for 1965 to milk dealers supplying the Town of Lexington. Two hundred and fifteen (215) random samples representative of all dealers were collected for laboratory analysis. One (1) sample was positive for the presence of phosphatase indicating improped pasteurization. Twenty -six (26) samples exceeded the legal standard for a colony plate count, and twenty -seven (27) exceeded the standard for the coliform count. Written notices of deficiencies and re- sampling of products was carried out when standards were above the legal limit. 192 PUBLIC SERVICES Water Analysis The public water supply was tested weekly by the Metropolitan District Commission Water Laboratory. All tests showed the public water supply free from contamination. Eleven ,yell -water supplies on private property were tested and four were found contaminated. Two of the contaminated wells were re- tested after disinfecting procedures and found free from contamination. The owners of contaminated wells were notified not to use the supply for drinking or culinary purposes. Nine public and community swimming pools were issued permits to operate as required by Article VI of the Sanitary Code and were routinely tested for residual chlorine and hydrogen -ion concentration to determine the level main- tained for continuous disinfection. One was found deficient in chlorine residual and the operators notified in writing to make corrections. One natural pond used for bathing purposes was analyzed routinely and bacteriological examinations showed the water below the limits for safe bathing waters. Seven samples of surface water drainage conduits were sampled and tested. All were found within the limits sat for the pollution of inland waters. Lot, Cesspools and Septic Tanks Seventy -five (75) applications were accepted for private sewage disposal systems. Approximately two hundred (200) lot inspections were made to deter- mine grading, soil conditions, sub - surface water levels and suitability for private sewage disposal systems. Sixty - seven (67) perrnits for private sewage disposal systems were issued after each new or replacement installation had been in- spected for approved standards of construction and work was completed. Public Sewers The extension of public sewers by the Public Works Department was carried out with public health factors considered a basis for selection. Applications for extensions were reviewed by the Board of Health and the areas were inspected to determine the urgency of need based on public health hazards. A report on existing conditions was made to the Board of Selectmen. Sanitation of New Subdivisions There were five subdivisions submitted to the Board of Haalth for approval during 1965. All were approved for complete development on the basis that public sewerage and water supplies would be provided in the development. Child Care Centers The Board issued licenses to fourteen (14) Child Care Centers under new regulations adopted by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. License approval requires inspections and certifications by Building and Wiring Inspectors and by the Registry of Motor Vehicles where transportation is provided. All Child Care Centers were inspected prior to annual renewal of license or granting of a new license. PUBLIC SERVICES 193 School Health Services The Board of Health is responsible for the communicable disease regulation pertaining to school pupils and school personnel. The School Health Services and the Board of Health cooperated in effecting the immunization program for pupils and the physical examination requirements for teachers. The introduction of Tuberculin Skin Testing of pupils and personnel was planned and will be carried out early in 1966 with a mass testing for all grades and personnel. The objective is to provide this health service on a routine basis so that all pupils will be tested several times during school life. Complaints and Nuisances Ninety -three (93) complaints of conditions considered detrimental or haz- ardous were received during 1965. A breakdown of complaints received is as follows: 24 Exposed sewage wastes 21 Rubbish and garbage nuisances 14 Drainage problems 12 Animal and fowl complaints 3 Noxious weeds and odors 19 General information All complaints were investigated and evaluated and corrections were ob- tained by written notices to property owners and occupants. Rubblish and Garbage Inspections at the dump site on Hartwell Avenue have shown the area landfill operation being carried out in accordance with accepted standards. No evidence of insect or rodent infestation has been found. Three samples from the drainage brook adjacent to the dump site were laboratory tested for possible. pollution and were found satisfactory. Insect and Rodent Control Fifteen (15) complaints of rat infestation and seven (7) complaints of mosquito breeding were received in 1965. Rodent inspections were made to determine conditions providing harborage and food supply and recommendations were made for extermination and control. Mosquito nuisance complaints were referred to the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project for investigation and correction. Animal and Fowl Permits Forty -nine permits to keep domestic animals and fowl were issued in 1965. Initial inspections were made to determine land area and facilities available with consideration for neighborhood abutters. Follow -up inspections were made to determine compliance with sanitation regulations. Three applications for permits were denied by the Board after inspection showed that location and facilities . were not adequate to assure that nuisances would not be caused. 194 PUBLIC SERVICES Convalescent and Nursing Homes Six private convalescent and nursing homes are licensed by the Massachu- setts Department of Public Health to give nursing or domiciliary care to the aged. One home giving domiciliary care and three giving nursing care were certified by the Board of Health for renewal of license. All licensed homes were found well maintained and operated. Farm Labor Camps Nine buildings used to house migratory farm workers were inspected in July by the Health Officer and Sanitarians from the District Office of the Massachu- setts Department of Public Health. Standards not meeting the requirements of the State Sanitary Code were brought to the owner's attention and corrections ordered by the District Health Officer of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Other Activities The Health Officer maintained membership in the following professional organizations: American Public Health Association Massachusetts Health Officers Association National Association of Sanitarians Massachusetts Public Health Association Meetings and conferences sponsored by the above organizations were attended in addition to several conferences sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. The assistance and cooperation extended by the members of the Board of Health, Town Officers, Employees and Lexington Citizens are gratefully acknowledged. Respectfully submitted, JAMES F.

Gentlemen: As mentioned in last year's report Rabies is still our chief concern in animals. A new case in Rhode Island for the first time over a long period has occurred. Revaccination at regular intervals is the best answer to the problem. The answer to Rabies control requires several things: 1. Revaccination; 2. Elimination of stray dogs; 3. Trapping of wild animals if we get an epidemic of Rabies; 4. Caution and isolation of wild animals found ill, particularly bats and skunks. Children especially should be forbidden from handling or caring for these animals. Rhode Island has been a sort of an island free from Rabies for many years but in November, 1965 an isolated dog case appeared and the whole state was put under a dog quarantine indefinitely. Ontario has the worst incidence of Rabies in all levels of animals, followed by Quebec, New York, and Vermont with a smattering of cases in Maine. Connecticut had 1 fox, 1 bat case, Massachusetts 3 bat cases all confirmed by laboratory examination. 196 PUBLIC SERVICES bitten people, and had to be examined as defined in the Rabies Control Law. There were a total of 140 animal bites reported in 1965, these bites are as follows: 124 dog bites 6 cat bites 3 chipmunk bites 4 hamster bites 1 mouse bite 1 rabbit bite 1 raccoon bite Let me reiterate that canine distemper vaccination annually is important since there is no permanent immunity. The usual calls were made to inspect animals according to instructions of the Director of Livestock Disease Control to be sure there were no contagious diseases present, and that the animals were in good health. This information also serves as an annual animal census: Cows, Bulls and Beef Animals 47 Horses and Ponies 82 Sheep 5 Goats 4 Swine 75 If we get Rabies in Massachusetts there will be a compulsory leash law in All animals and premises were found to be free of contagious diseases. There isolated areas as part of the control and eradication. were 31 horse stables, 7 cattle herds, 1 swine herd, 2 sheep and 2 goat herds. Humans can and should be vaccinated against Rabies if there is any occupa- tional reason for it. And remember it is the new duck vaccine that is being used which is not painful and the patient does not suffer any ill effects. Of interest to hunters, bear meat can harbor "Trichinella spiralis" which is also found in the rat and pig. Be sure to cook these meats thoroughly to prevent' Trichinosis. In handling rabbit carcassses use rubber or plastic gloves to protect against Tularemia. Salmonella organisms are present in cracked eggs, poultry (1 in every 6 birds as bought uncooked in the store), turkeys (1 in every 4), ducklings (1 in every 3), and in plastic bags of chicken livers. Your cutting board should be washed thoroughly each time after cutting up these birds. Cooking kills the organisms in the eggs, birds and livers. The Rabies Clinic, held annually in May, is now more important than ever and we urge every dog owner to attend this clinic on the day scheduled for his precinct. There were four animal heads sent into the Wasserman Laboratories this year for rabies examination, all tested negative. The animals concerned had The Inspector of Animals wishes to express his appreciation to the Board of Health, the doctors and the police for their excellent cooperation. Respectfully submitted, DR. CARL R. BENTON, Inspector of Animals PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT December 31, 1965 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 1' 97 I submit herewith the report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1965. In 1965 the work of the Engineering Department was divided into the fol- lowing categories: 1) Sewer — Field and Office 2) Water — Field and Office 3) Street — Field and Office 4) Drain — Field and Office 5) Sidewalk — Field and Office 6) Map Work — Office 7) Subdivisions — Field and Office 8) General Field Work — Field 9) General Office Work — Office 1.) Sewer — Field and Office — 25.2% Early in 1965, our own field crews did a great amount of preliminary field work on the sewer laterals which were expected to be built by con- tractors during the year. This work was plotted in the office, then given to our consultant for design and construction. An amount of money sufficient to cover the work done by our own personnel was deducted from the consultant's fee. Throughout the year a great deal of time was spent by personnel of the Engineering Department, on the inspection of sewer services installed by private contractors licensed and authorized by the Public Works Department, and in giving sewer service estimates. We also made several studies for future sewers, involving both field and office work, prepared plans for all betterments to be assessed on sewer work, prepared sewer easement plans, contacted property owners prior to the tak- ing of sewer easements and provided information on the location of sewers to the public; 2.) Water — Field and Office — 7.3 % In 1965, Town forces installed 2,564 feet of water mains. The Engi- neering Department did the preliminary survey, made construction plans and inspected the work during installation. 198 PUBLIC SERVICES During the year, we also spent much time on making additions and corrections to the water - gate -tie books which are used by the Water Division of the Public Works Department in shutting off water mains for repair or maintenance. The 1,000,000 gallon standpipe was painted this year. This department provided inspection for this job and when necessary supervised the progress of this contract. This year we also spent much time in giving water service estimates; 3.) Street — Field and Office — 20.2% 1.11 miles of streets were accepted by the Town Meeting in 1965. For the convenience of the public, we are listing them in this report as follows: A.) Betterments Length Melrose Avenue 400' Cutler Farm Road 332' Hudson Road 530' Columbus Street 600' Chase Avenue 250' Bennett Avenue 160' Sub Total 2,272 Feet — 0.43 Miles B.) No Betterments Length Albemarle Avenue 465' Skyview Road Alteration at Skyview Road and Rangeway Frost Road 575' Todd Road 345' Saddle Club Road 1,065' Turning Mill Road 1,140' Sub Total 3,590 Feet — 0.68 Miles Total 5,862 Feet — 1 .1 1 Miles For all these streets, acceptance plans and taking plans were made and recorded. The making of complete plans of streets involves a great deal of field and office work. This enables us to locate points for bounds on the 1964 streets which were bounded in 1965, locate the points for the 1965 streets which will be bounded in 1966, and to make accurate preliminary surveys of the 1966 streets. PUBLIC SERVICES 199 A representative of the Engineering Department attended all street hearings to answer questions. The Public Works Department, as a part of its street resurfacing work, resurfaced 20,853 feet of street with bituminous concrete in 1965. The work was done by a private contractor. The Engineering Department drafted the contract, took bids, inspected the work and made estimates for payment on the project. We also made many traffic counts during the year, and determined the location of several new street lights; 4.) Drain — Field and Office — 4.3 % On drain easements, as on all easements, owners were contacted prior to taking by the Town. In 1965, although most of the work was done by outside forces, a great deal of time was involved in making easement plans and talking to owners. In 1965, many studies were made of drainage problems. Preliminary surveys were made, recommendations made for correcting the problems and grades were given where needed if the work was actually carried out by Town forces; 5.) Sidewalks — Field and Office— 4.3 % Approximately 9,518 feet of new sidewalks were constructed in Lexing- ton during 1965. Approximately 5,166 feet were resurfaced. On sidewalk work, the Engineering Department made and recorded bet- terment plans and handled the contracts and inspection where necessary; 6.) Map Work — Office — 1.1% A large amount of time is spent in the office on updating the Assessors' plans. All new subdivisions and lotting changes have been made. In addition, all other Town maps were updated; 7.) Subdivsions — Field and Office — 9.8% Approximately 1.83 miles of subdivision roads were approved and began construction in 1965. Under the direction of our Construction Inspector, inspections were made of all utilities in these subdivisions. Prior to the approval of the plans, the department reviewed them and advised the Plan- ning Board as to their acceptability. In 1965, the Engineering Department completed an entire revision of Specifications for sewer, water, drain, street, and sidewalks. This was to accompany new regulations set up by the Planning Board for subdivision streets. The Specifications were adopted by the Board of Selectmen acting as the Board of Public Works on February 24, 1965; 200 PUBLIC SERVICES 8.) General Field Work — Field — 9.6% General field work is covered mostly in the work which we do each year for other departments and companies. Each year our field survey crew lays out many new athletic and recreational facilities, such as baseball fields, basket ball courts, and field hockey courts. In order to safeguard the Town, a substantial amount of time each year is spent in inspecting the work of private contractors working for various companies who obtain permission to open the Town's streets. These may be the Boston Edison Company, New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, Mystic Valley Gas Company, or private individuals; 9.) General Office Work — Office — 18.2% Many plans came into the department during the year which had to be indexed and filed for future reference. The public is constantly coming to look at plans and maps and this involved a great deal of the time of the office staff. We also had many meetings during the year with representatives of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Boston Edison Com- pany, and the Mystic Valley Gas Company, etc.; In accordance with the General Laws of Massachusetts all Town or City boundaries must be perambulated every five years. Since Lexington was incor- porated before all of the surrounding Towns and Cities, the initiative lies with Lexington. This year one and sometimes two members of the Engineering De- partment found all the boundaries and another member of the department was designated by the Selectmen to meet with the officials of the neighboring mu- nicipalities for the purpose of perambulating the boundaries. It is our feeling, that through the combined efforts of all the members of the Engineering Department, we have been able to make major accomplishment in carrying out our public service. It is our purpose to continue with these achievements in the future. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CARROLL, Town Engineer PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT December 31, 1965 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 201 As in the past years, we are combining the reports of the Shade Tree, Insect Suppression and Park Divisions into two sections. Section One will cover the activities of the Park Division and Section Two the Shade Tree and Insect Sup- pression. Section One One of the 4 replacement trucks which the Public Works Department pur- chased in 1965 was assigned to the Park Divisions. This was a 21,000 -16 GVW dump truck. CENTER PLAYGROUND: In addition to the regular maintenance work at the Center Playground, the following work was carried on: Repairs were made to the Little League and baseball stands; One section of the football stand was repaired and painted; The football field in the enclosed field was foamed and seeded; Sub- drains were put in wherever necessary; One Little League field was foamed and seeded; The usual repair work was made to the cinder track; One Park employee was assigned to the pool during most of each day throughout the summer. Under Article 52 of the Annual Town Meeting of 1962, an amount of $42,000. was appropriated, at the request of the Recreation Committee, for developing a large area in the Center Playground between Worthen Read, Park Drive and the enclosed field. One part of this area was completed in 1962 and another large area in 1963 and 1964. In 1965, one baseball field was completed plus one soccer field. Sub- drains were installed making this area complete. On the new area completed, we now have an additional Little League field, two Hockey fields for girls, one soccer field and a baseball field. Additional and replacement trees and shrubs were planted in most of the park areas. Our weed control program was carried out wherever necessary. One section of the Common was foamed and seeded, leaving one more section to be done. We have been doing over a section each year due to a snow mold condi- tion and also repairing spots where weeds became prevalent. Under Article 81 of the Annual Town Meeting of 1965, the amount- of $1,000. was appropriated for the construction of a basketball area 60 x 80 at Adams School. This has been completed by Highway crews and is now being maintained by the Park Division. 202 PUBLIC SERVICES Under Article 82 the Annual Town Meeting of 1965, the amount of $3,G00. was appropriated for the construction of a combination basketball and skating rink area 120 x 100 at Center Playground. This area built by High- way crews and is now being maintained by the Park Division. It is now being used for skating. Other parks, triangles and baseball areas at the Diamond Junior High, Fiske, Adams, Franklin, Hastings and Harrington Schools received regular maintenance including fertilizing. TOWN OFFICE BUILDING GROUNDS: The grounds around the Town Of- fices and Cary Memorial and School Administration Buildings were maintained by the Park Divisions. They were continually mowed during the summer season and flowers were planted and shrubs trimmed. 'Sections of sod were put in where weeds had taken over. WINTER WORK: This division maintains skating areas at the Center Play- ground, the Reservoir at Marrett Road, Kinneen's Pond, Adams School, Fiske School, Franklin School, and at Willard's Woods. All these areas were flooded as needed. After the emergency snow removal, these areas were plowed to the extent that tune allowed. Areas at Bowman Park, Parker School, Adams School, the Reservoir and sections of Willard's Woods were pruned of dead wood and generally cleaned of brush. Section Two One of the 4 replacement trucks which the Public Works Department pur- chased in 1965 was assigned to the Shade Tree Division. This was a heavy duty winch truck. SHADE TREE PLANTING: Each year we are planting more public shade trees. During the spring and fall, 289 trees of all varieties were planted in new developments and other streets throughout the Town. In most cases, these were new trees but some were replacements. It is our policy to replace trees that have been removed because of disease, construction, etc., as soon as possible. Most of these trees were planted on private property, so they would have a better chance of survival away from the telephone and light wires. There is a great deal of construction work being done in town from year to year, and it is our policy to require the contractors to save as many trees as possible and have them dig by hand, in many cases in order to save a tree. Due to the drought of the last two seasons, it is our opinion we will lose quite a few Maples this coming year. The Shade Tree Division replaced several power saws, etc. Each year we are increasing the stock in our tree nursery at the Public Works Building on Bedford Street. This enables us to have a better selection of trees and reduce the over- all cost of new trees. PUBLIC SERVICES 203 SPRAYING: A law just passed requires that all local Superintendents and their men pass a written examination by February 1, 1965 before they will be allowed to apply pesticides. All the men in the Tree Department have taken this examination and passed. The last two years, we have cut down on our spraying program and hope to do less spraying in the future. Our whole spraying; program has been evaluated due to additional information received from the University of Massachusetts, Waltham Field Station and the Department of Public Health in regard to the effects of spraying on wild life. In place of D.D.T. this year, we used Methoxychlor for dormant spray. For leaf spray we used "Sevin ". These materials were recommended by the above authorities instead of D.D.T. for the control of the bark beetle, carrier of the Dutch Elm Disease, and the use of "Sevin" for the control of the Elm Leaf Beetle. These are far less toxic to wild life. Each year seems to bring out a different insect pest that needs control. The major nuisance the last several years has been the Elm Leaf Beetle. These can sometimes be found hibernating in attics, if an elm tree is in the neighborhood. This beetle feeds on elm leaves in the early summer causing the leaves to turn brown in the fall, often giving the impression that the tree is infected with the Dutch Elm Disease. A continuous infestation of this beetle can weaken the tree sufficiently to make it more susceptible to this disease. Our dormant and summer spraying was done with our own crew. Our hy- draulic sprayer was used in hard to reach places. The mist blower was used where range and height was the most important consideration, such as parks, playgrounds, cemeteries and swamp areas. In addition to tree spraying, we also sprayed the dump by hand at regular intervals, to prevent the breeding of cockroaches, flies, etc. We answered many requests to spray poison ivy on public and private property during the summer. We have been doing herbicide spraying for the control of weeds growing up through sidewalks. REMOVING AND PRUNING TREES: During the year we pruned approxi- mately 150 trees of different varieties excluding elms. Street construction was responsible for the removal of about 48 trees. Most of these were removed by private contractors. We cut approximately 14 stumps below the grade with our stump cutter. This machine has proved to be an invaluable tool in the removal of these unsightly objects. DUTCH ELM DISEASE: A great deal of time was spent trying to control the Dutch Elm Disease which is showing improvement on public trees. This is a fungus disease that spread to the United States from Europe, between 1920 and 1930. Since that time it has spread and destroyed many valuable trees on public and private property. This year we have pruned 141 elm trees. This is one of the best ways of controlling the disease because the Dutch Elm Disease Bark Beetle enters through dead wood. The Shade Tree Division also removed 63 dead elm trees on private property because they were a source of spreading the disease. These were trees that could not be tested because live wood has to be present in order to get a positive test. 204 PUBLIC SERVICES The following is a comparison of the Dutch Elm diseased trees found in Lexington since 1961: 1961 45 1962 27 1963 31 1964 24 1965 18 The trees tested this year included 12 privately owned and 6 public trees. These have been removed. We feel that we are certainly reaching the point of control of the Dutch Elm Disease. We are doing a great deal more on sanitation work and the removal of public and private trees has dropped a great deal. A new Systematic Insecticide known as Bidrin was used for the control of D. E. D. Fifteen trees were injected. The trees treated seem to be responding well. The leaf was larger and greener than the untreated tree. It also controlled Aphids. In other towns where it was used, the poor results have been reported and therefore we will carefully analyze our results. In conclusion, we wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Superintendent of Public We -'s and the many other departments that have helped us during the past year. Respectfully submitted, PAUL E. MAZERALL, Superintendent of Park & Shade Tree Department REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS December 31, 1965 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Cemetery Commissioners submit their Annual Report for the year 1965. The regular maintenance work has been done on the grounds, driveways, trees and shrubs of the four cemeteries. There were seventeen interments in Munroe Cemetery and one lot was placed under Perpetual Care. Twenty -five graves were raised and reseeded. The summer house, the tool sheds, and the garage were painted. A section of chain link fence in the rear of the cemetery, damaged by schcol children, was replaced. PUBLIC SERVICES 205 At Westview Cemetery there were one hundred fifty -six interments, one hundred fifteen lots, five single graves and six baby graves were sold. Thirty - eight graves were raised, foamed and reseeded. Sixty -three additional lots were staked out in the Sunnyside section and seventy -five additional two -grave lots were marked off in the Sunset section. Approximately fifty feet of new fence was erected in the Pine Ridge Extension section. The wrought iron fence along Bedford Street was repaired and installed. The damage to this fence was caused when an automobile went out of control on Bedford Street and crashed into the fence. The following funds were collected and committed to the Town Treasurer: Munroe Cemetery Perpetual Care $100.00 Annual Care 41.25 Interments 475.00 Green & Lowering Device 90.00 Foundations 60.50 Saturday Burial Fee 75.00 Miscellaneous Receipts 17.50 $859.25 Westview Cemetery Sale of Lots $11,859.00 Sale of Single Graves 135.00 Sale of Baby Graves 144.00 Perpetual Care 11,727.00 Interments 4,092.00 Green & Lowering Device 708.00 Foundations 876.50 Tent 120.00 Saturday Burial Fee 600.00 Miscellaneous Receipts 142.75 $30,404.25 The Cemetery Commissioners take this opportunity to acknowledge with thanks the assistance and cooperation given to the department by officials of the Town, members of the various departments, and the personnel of the Cemetery Department. Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. GRAHAM, Chairman, Cemetery Commissioners 206 PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS December 31, 1965 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: In accordance with Article XXII, Section 1, of the By -Laws of the Town of Lexington, I submit herewith the annual report covering the work of the Public Works Department during the year 1965. The last few years has found the growth of Lexington somewhat slowed down from post -war years. The number of new homes has reduced almost in half in the last few years. However, the problems that face the Town in the way of public works projects have not yet taken a downward trend. In fact they are moving up. Lexington is a town covering a large area. Much of the Town is not yet sewered, the new schools have made the need for new sidewalks greater each year, there is still much to do in the way of new street construction and re- construction, etc. The following table shows comparison of employee personnel as of December 31st over the past five years: 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 Administration 3 3 3 3 3 Engineering 9 7 9 10 9 Clerical 6 6 6 6 6 Park Department 16 15 16 16 15 Custodians 3 3 3 3 3 Public Works Department 35 34 36 39 42 72 68 73 77 78 STREET CONSTRUCTION — SUNDRY STREETS: On July 26, 1965 a contract was awarded to Belli Brothers, Inc., Newton, Mass. for the construction of certain streets and drains. The amount of the contract was $129,757.50. Except for minor cleanup, the work was completed in 1965. The streets included in this contract which were done under betterments were: Drainage Street Length Length Size Columbus Street 650' 155' 12" R.C. Cutler Farm Road 710' Hudson Road 500' Bennett Avenue 150' 150' 12" R.C. Chase Avenue 290' 61' 12" R.C. Melrose Avenue 400' 280' 12" R.C. PUBLIC SERVICES 207 STREET CONSTRUCTION— CAPITAL OUTLAY: In 1965 we reconstructed another section of Lowell Street — this time from East Street to North Street. The work was included in the Belli Brothers contract and has been completed except for loaming and seeding. In 1966, subject to Town Meeting action, we hope to extend the recon- struction from North Street to the Burlington line. Drainage Street Length Length Size Lowell Street 2800' 1000' 12" R.C. 100' 15" R.C. 200' 18" R.C. 576' 21" R.C. CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION: A contract was awarded to J. J. O'Brien and Sons, Inc. on October 7, 1964 in the amount of $171,334.24 for the reconstruction of Mass. Avenue from the Arlington- Lexington line to Marrett Road. The work was started late in 1964 and completed during the past summer. The funds for this project came from the Chapter 90 appropriations of 1963 and 1964 together with funds obiained under Chapter 718 and Chapter 822 funds. The Chapter 90 appropriation of 1965 will be coupled with the 1966 ap- propriation to complete the reconstruction of the avenue up to Woburn Street. CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE: On May 15, 1965 a contract was signed with Starrett Paving Corp. in the amount of $40,600.00 for the resurfacing of certain streets. Part of the work done under this contract was the resurfacing of Lincoln Street from Hastings Road to Five Forks. O the entire cost of $8,000. for this section of street, $4,500. was paid for from Chapter 90 main- tenance funds. $3,000. of the $4,500. will be reimbursed to us by the County and State. Street Length Lincoln Street 3676' CURBING: The amount of $5,000. was appropriated in 1965 for the in- stallation of granite curbino. This is the amount which has been appropriated for the past several years. A breakdown of this work follows: Street Length Bedford Street 736' Worthen Road 593' SANITARY LAND FILL: In 1965 we ran into two unanticipated problems at Hartwell Avenue. First, came the problem of sea gulls. The Air Force at Hanscom Field became extremely concerned when it realized that a number of these birds were hitting aircraft. With the approval of the Fish & Wild Life Service, we tried many ways to get rid of the pests, but none proved very successful. At the present time we are using a chemical which temporarily affects the nervous system of the bird' 208 PUBLIC SERVICES and causes it to emit sounds that are supposed to frighten its pals away. The results are not yet in. Second, we ran into the problem of enforcement of regulations. Many outsiders were using the dump causing us to use excessive fill for cover. We solved this problem by having a police officer stationed different days of the week. We know this has proved successful because we are using much less fill than in the past. The contract with the exterminator was continued during the year with. excellent results. Covering the rubbish has prevented any insect or rodent infestations. Except for certain holidays, the dump is open every day. It is closed on the following holidays: New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, April 19th, May 30th, July 4th, Labor Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. GARBAGE COLLECTION: On May 19, 1965 a contract was signed with Stanley Roketenetz, Inc. to collect garbage for a three year period beginning June 1, 1965 and ending May 31, 1968. The collection was very satisfactory. SNOW REMOVAL: There are two basic costs of snow removal. First, there are the costs which can be directly attributed to each storm such as snow plowing, sidewalk plowing, removal of snow from business areas, churches, schools, etc., and the salting and sanding that is done directly before, during and after the storm. All these costs are lumped together and referred to as the cost of a particular storm. Secondly, there are the many other costs which occur during the year such as sanding and salting in ice storms, quick freezes, which require sanding, our weather service which is invaluable, the purchase of equipment such as chains, plows, plow blades, bolts, etc. Many of these latter expenditures occur during the summer months. We prepare for the winter many months before it arrives. The accompanying tables indicate the days and the amounts that snow was recorded and the cost breakdown for each storm.

In addition to these, 35 other signs were made such as "Thin Ice," "No Swimming Allowed," "No Dumping" and numerous historical and di- rectory type signs. TRAFFIC REGULATION AND CONTROL: Some of the breakdowns in this budget include: painting street lines, crosswalks and other traffic control markings, making and installing all kinds of traffic signs, maintenance of existing traffic lights and installation of new lights. The approximate number of linear footage painted is shown below. Center Lines 93,900 Ft. Crosswalks 9,392 Ft. Curbing 900 Ft. Parking Tees 160 Do Not Enter 7 Stop Signs and Lines 47 Bus Stops 7 Boys 28 Slow Signs 14 Do Not Park 7 In 1965 new traffic lights were installed at the intersection of Waltham Street and Mass. Avenue. These new lights also contain "Walk" and "Don't Walk" flashers for pedestrian traffic. The department also maintained the traffic signals on Bedford Street, Mass. Avenue at Locust Avenue and near the Adams School. All other traffic signal lights in Lexington come under the State Department of Public Works. The department made and installed many temporary and permanent traffic control signs. These included speed limit signs, parking signs, detours, stop signs, etc. In all, 176 signs were made for the control of traffic and pro- tection of pedestrians.

This represents an increase of 1.11 miles over 1964. Among the many varied operations which fall under this category are the following: 1.) Street Cleaning. Except for inclement weather or equipment break- downs, the department's two mechanical sweepers were out almost every day. These machines swept a total of approximately 1480 miles of streets. In addi- tion, all the schools, parking lots and Munroe and Westview Cemeteries were also cleaned many times during the year. 2.) Pavement Maintenance. The following list of streets were sealed by Town forces in 1965: Location Length Colony Road —Grant Street to end of accepted portion 941' Upland Road — Chandler Street to Glen Road 315' Chandler Street — Meriam Street to Oakland St. 645' Eliot Road — Pelham Road to Washington Street 1925' Hayes Avenue — Meriam Street to Hancock Street 1600' Slocum Road —Mass.

The cost was $23.45. METERS: During the year a total of 167 new meters were installed in new houses. Additional work included removing, repairing and testing 305 meters and replacing them. The number of water meters read was 16,106. SERVICE CALLS: Four hundred fifty -four water and sewer estimates were given and 393 of these were paid to be installed. 802 service calls were made to houses and 151 contractors calls. WATER TREATMENT: During 1965 the department continued treating Lexington's water system with a chemical commonly known as "Calgon." This chemical helps control the "red" water caused by the rusting of old, unlined water mains and dead ends by depositing a microscopic coating over the inner walls of these pipes. Thus far this treatment, approved by the State Board of Public Health, has proved itself in that the number of "rusty water" calls has been greatly reduced. The amount of Calgon used varies with the consumption of water as reported to the department by the M.D.C.

One pump motor was removed and rebuilt at this station. The standby engine generator was run under full load every week and certainly proved its value during the "black out" this area suffered during November of 1965. This station handles all of the North Lexington area as well as the Town of Bedford. Our smaller stations were checked semi - weekly including a new station built during 1965 on Brigham Road. The other stations are on Byron Avenue, Constitution Road, Patterson Road and Worthen Rcad. Routine Cleaning of Mains: In 1965 approximately 20:000 feet of sewer mains were cleaned of sand, silt, gravel and other debris. Although the depart- ment does not have the men or time to put this sort of cleaning on a regular basis at present, we do look forward to establishing a routine program of this type in the future as a function of major importance to sewer maintenance. In 1965 we also relaid 208' of 8" main on Chase Avenue and 100' of 15" main on Grant Street.

When the sub- division is completed, these mains become the property of the Town and are added to our system. Woodhaven Trunk Sewer On November 19, 1963 a contract was signed with James D'Amico, Inc. to construct the Woodhaven Trunk Sewer. This sewer started at Pleasant Street and Route 2 and runs in a general northwesterly and westerly direction along Clematis Brook to Stedman Road, through Brookside Avenue to Waltham Street, then through Grassland and Valleyfield Streets and private lands to Cutler Farm Road. Another leg extends up to Old Shade Street. This sewer will serve the Woodhaven area, the commercial area off Spring Street, the Valleyfield Street area and the lower side of Follen Hill. This contract has now been completed. This work is broken down as follows: 10,394' 1,985' 4,230' 897' 24" 16" 10" 8" 17,506 Feet 3.32 Miles General Appropriations MOSQUITO CONTROL: Pre - season DDT dusting, abandoned last year, was resumed on a very limited scale in the late winter and early spring of 1965. The places treated were where there was no danger of contaminating fish through run -off into streams or ponds. Some initial trials were made with Methoxychlor and Sevin for pre- season use. Later in the season Malathion and other organic phosphate insecticides were used against the larval and adult stages of mosquitoes. Catchbasins were sprayed with Baytex. 222 PUBLIC SERVICES Mosquito annoyance was most acute in the general region of Grove Street beyond Route 128 and in the vicinity of Tophet Swamp. The project fogged by truck at night and sprayed by helicopter to reduce adult mosquito infes- tations. Dibrom is becoming the principal material for fogging. Two major mosquito problems in Lexington are caused by pollution and ponding of Vine Brook and poor drainage in Tophet Swamp. The principal trouble in the Grove Street area is caused by mosquito flight from outside sources. Special Projects A new entrance to the Waltham Street parking lot was constructed in 1965. With the exception of a concrete island and sidewalk and the bituminous concrete paving, all the necessary excavation, filling in with gravel, fine grading, installating the meter posts and bumper blocks was performed by Town labor and equipment. The parking meters and bumper blocks at the Muzzey Street entrance were moved back to make this a two -way lane. All the necessary signs and pavement markings were done by the Town. Where required the tree crew of the Town Park Division pruned and cleaned the overhanging branches along the new entrance. In 1965 the Minute Man Statue was refinished. Both auditoriums were painted in the Cary Memorial Building. The floor of the Cary Hall was refinished and new curtains installed on the stage. All the chairs were reup- holstered in both halls. In conjunction with the Town of Arlington, the Town -owned lots on Rindge Avenue were graded and a drain installed to make a recreation area. Two basketball courts were built, one on Worthen Road near the swimming pool and one at the rear of Adams School. Some projects undertaken for other department include such items as: picking up and delivering Civil Defense materials to stock public shelter areas; painting parking lots and playground areas at Lexington schools; setting up voting machines; excavating and grading part of a parking area at Lexington High School; patching and sweeping school driveways; making and installing traffic signs in co- operation with the Lexington Police Department; sweeping roads at Westview and Munroe cemeteries, etc. In conclusion, I wish to acknowledge with thanks the assistance and co- operation given to the 'Public Works Department by officials of the Town and members of the various Town departments. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CARROLL, Supt. of Public Works PUBLIC SERVICES 223 REPORT OF THE LEXINGTON CONSERVATION COMMISSION December 31, 1965 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Lexington Conservation Commission submits herewith the annual re- port —its second —for the calendar year 1965. Lexington's Conservation Commission was created by the November, 1963, Town Meeting to promote, develop, and conserve Lexington's natural resources, which include its wetlands, streams, woodlands, open lands, ponds, flora, wild- life, and natural visual amenities. The Commission operates under statutes of the Commonwealth. One of these statutes enables the Town to receive direct financial aid —up to fifty percent —for the acquisition of lands to be preserved as open space. The Commission also deals with the Federal authorities who provide financial aid to communities for the purchase of open space. Open Space Purchases — General Lexington's program to conserve its open space and woods was re -born in 1965, at a level which will have for many years to come a significant effect on maintaining such openness and pleasant naturalness of character as yet remain to the Town. One acquisition was authorized, two were consummated, and approvals for two reimbursements were received during 1965. One option was received to sell land to the Town for one dollar provided that additional adjacent land be acquired by the Town. Land for a schoolsite was made available to school authorities. Swenson Farm The Annual Town Meeting in March authorized the purchase of the 78 acre "Swenson Farm" fcr conservation purposes at a negotiated price of $230,000. The land, of which the most prominent frontace is on Marrett Road (route 2A), is adjacent to the Franklin School, is near the 'Moreland Avenue School and the "Tower Property" recreation land, and could be a key part of a possible greenbelt running from the base of Follen Hill to the Hobbs Brook basin. An extensive portion of the land is boggy, allowing it to act as a "sponge" feeding the Clematis Brook, a tributary of the Charles River. Portions of the land can be used for a Town arboretum. The dense pinegrove within view of Marrett Road has also been conserved through this purchase. After months of negotiations, an option to purchase the land was sold to the Town (for a dollar) at the end of 1964. The Commission made applica- tions for State and Federal reimbursement with counterpart funds for part of the purchase price, however approvals had not yet been received by town meet- ing time. 224 PUBLIC SERVICES At the March Town Meeting, the Commission announced its intention to refrain from consummating the purchase until a possible schoolsite on part of the land could be considered more thoroughly and could then be voted upon by a special town meeting. After passage of the pertinent articles by overwhelming voice vote, the option was extended and its purpose was broadened to include the schoolsite and a small parcel to make possible the Worthen Road extension. Data was obtained from the U. S. Soil Conservation Service through the Middlesex Conservation District, and was provided to the School Sites Commit- tee. Studies ascertained that the westerly portion of the land, a gravelly slope bounded by Stedman Road, would be an excellent site for a future junior high school. It was seen that the school could be built into the hillside, well back from the road, in a manner that should cause negligible obstruction of the natural view from the road and would leave the pine grove untouched. Accord- ingly, the Commission supported the School Sites Committee in its successful motion at the special town meeting in June to transfer $70,000. of the original $230,000. in order to purchase 20 acres of the original 78 acres for a school site. Support was also given to transfer $1800 for buying nearly an acre of the land to be used for Worthen Road, if and when it is built there. In July, two events at higher levels of government bore upon the Swenson Farm purchase. Firstly, the Board of the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources decided that since its counterpart fund was nearly dry, the Depart- ment would defer action on Lexington application, even though the Depart- ment's Lands Committee had given the application its unanimous support. Ap- proval was received, however, to purchase the land without prejudice to the ap- plication. Secondly, the Congress passed and the President signed the bill which raised the Federal reimbursement from 20% to 50% of the purchase price. The Commission immediately resubmitted its application, with appropriate modifica- tions. Luckily the application had not yet been approved. A "Letter of Consent" was received from HHFA shortly thereafter. In mid -July the Commission asked the Selectmen to exercise the option, whereupon the purchase proceedings were initiated and then consummated sev- eral weeks later. On December 21st telegrams and news releases from Washington announced approval of Lexington's application for $79,100 of federal funds. Lexington's was the third such application in the country and the first in Massachusetts ap- proved under the new law, and the largest of its type ever approved in Massa- chusetts. The actual receipt of the federal reimbursement awaits further paperwork of a perfunctory nature and its review. The Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources application under the self -help law still await action. Under present regulations, the Department can- PUBLIC SERVICES 225 not add its money to the federal contribution, however, it has been urged that the Department amend its regulations to allow it to contribute up to one -half of the non - federal portion of the costs. Harrison Property Purchase of this five -acre parcel, adjoining "Willard's Woods ", had been authorized by the special town meeting in November, 1964. Early in 1965 preliminary approval of the application was received from the Massachusetts De- partment of Natural Resources, and the Commission asked the Selectmen to proceed with the purchase, which was quickly implemented. Final application was then filed; and on December 18th the Commission was notified that the check for $1500 would be ready on January 4, 1966. The effect has been to enlarge Willard's Woods by five acres, at a capital cost to the Town of $1500. Joint Meetings and Actions The Commission met jointly with the following Town boards: Selectmen, Planning Board, Capital Expenditures, Appropriations, and School Sites. The Planning Board was asked to negotiate a conservation easement along a por- tion of the Vine Brook which lay within a proposed housing development. This the Planning Board successfully accomplished, and the Town now has the ease- ment (although it is not specified as a conservation easement). The Planning Board and Selectmen were advised of the Commission's feel - inj that a certain proposed development lay within the purview of the Inland Wetlands Act, and should therefore be subject to the regulations under that act. In the Town, the Selectmen are responsible for administering the regulations, which involve the Commission, Planning Board, Board of Health, and State agencies. The Selectmen and the Commission balioied jointly to elect John J. Garrity to the unexpired cne y»r o' the two year term of William S. Richey, who re- signed from the commission after the Annual Town Meeting. Speakers A speaker was provided, at the request of each of the followii tions, to discuss Iccal conservation matters and proposals: Field and (Conservation Symposium), Tiold and Carden Club (Morning St Daughters of the American Revolution, Lions Club, Boy Scouts, Ca Directors, TMMA, and he League of Women Voters. g organiza- arden Club dy Group), pfire Girls' Commonwealth and National Successful legislation affecting the Commission's work included the right given towns and cities to take land by eminent domain for conserlvation pur- poses, the new law ( "Hatch Act ") to prevent the indiscriminate filling and 226 PUBLIC SERVICES alteration of inland wetlands, and the Federal Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965 (see section on the "Swenson Farm "). The eminent domain law should protect the Town from those who would refuse to bargain fairly for land prices. The White House Conference cn Natural Beauty in America emphasized goals which match those of Lexington's Commission, and showed that conserv- ation commissions are the means for implementing the goals of the Conference by means of local action. The Commission's chairman was elected president of the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions. As both chairman and president he has addressed the Association, the Governor's Conference on State - Local Rela- tions, the Massachusetts Federation of Planning Boards, and other commissions and citizens groups throughout the Commonwealth. Liaison has been established with Commissions in adjoining communities, and with private organizations such as The Conservation Foundation. Burlington established a Commission during the Fall. Citizen Interest and Participation The Commission was approached during the year by several individuals and citizen groups asking that particular projects, especially acquisitions, be under- taken. All were considered thoroughly, and action was initiated on some. Sev- eral proposals were referred, and one was dropped. The Commission welcomes all citizens at its meetings, and invites sugges- tions from landowners, neighborhood groups, and all others interested. Respectfully submitted, JULES P.

In addition every member participated in one or more ad hoc committees, of which there have been four, meeting at least three times each. In the course of these meetings, the superintendent or members of the school staff have presented nineteen major administrative reports on various aspects of school program. Subjects covered include: Related Arts, Curriculum Development, Recruitment, New Teachers, Elementary Report Cards, Junior High Report Cards, Organization of Bridge School, Basic Studies, Combined Studies (Sixth Grades), Leadership Program, High School Facilities, Test Results, Summer Reading Program, Warsaw - Estabrook School -to- School Program, Project Headstart, Pupil Personnel Services, Teacher Loads, Public Law 89 -10 (Elemen- tary and Secondary School Art of 1965), and Publications of the Lexington Pub- lic Schools. Extensive demand from other school systems all over the world brought about the compilation of Lexington school publications. Requests are continually re- ceived for information about Lexington's curriculum materials; the list contains 77 items in ten curriculum areas. There are also 13 items on general topics covering the entire system. All publications are available in the Professional Library at the High School, and all may be purchased at cost by anyone request- ing them from the School Department. Proceeds revert to the E & D Fund of the Town. Revisions of our Personnel Policies Guide and the School Committee Rules and Regulations were completed early in the year and these publications are also available to the public. Goals of the Lexington Schools have been the subject of much discussion by the School Committee. Our purpose is to write a statement of expectations for citizens, parents, teachers, and pupils, which will describe the climate of public school education in Lexington. It must be general enough to apply to all, and specific enough to be useful as a point of reference as we develop and eval- uate our schools. The task demands deep thought and discussion; it has invovled several drafts and much revision. The statement is evolving, however, and will be ready early in 1966. Our policy for naming schools has been changed. At the committee's re- quest, the Lexington Historical Society has provided appropriate names, together 248 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT with fine genealogical accounts, cf two families prominent in Lexington history whose homes were in the area of the school sites. The Society has graciously consented to continue this service and its historian is engaged in preparing lists of names appropriate for sites already selected for future schools. 1965 has been a year of great interest in legislation in the field of educa- tion, and the Lexington School Committee has taken action on several bills before the State Legislature. At the suggestion of the Massachusetts Associa- tion of School Committees, our committee appointed a legislative representative who followed the progress of important bills and wrote statements on behalf of the committee to cur legislators, to committee chairmen, and to the governor. We strongly supported the report of the Willis - Harrington Commission on the state of public education in Massachusetts. The Legislature has approved the report and enacted into law its proposals for re- organization of the State Depart- ment of Education. A representative of our committee also took the stand before the Legislative Committee on Taxation in support cf tax revision to provide the revenue needed for improvement of education in all the communities of the commonwealth. The committee remains firm in the conviction that the one most important element in good education is good teachers. This is reflected in policies both for recruitment and for salaries. Our recruitment effort reaches out to all parts of the country, with the purpose of attracting to Lexington the top two or three percent of recent graduates and experienced teachers. Our salary guide seeks to provide compensation which expresses the value we attach to our teach- ers, both to those who choose to come here from other good systems and those who choose to remain and contribute their experience and talent to our ded- icated staff. Since satisfactory performance and teaching experience inevit- ably lead to salary increases, these two policies lead inevitably to a steady in- crease in the personal services budget, which accounts for eighty percent of the cost of education in Lexington. The School Committee has continued its policy of developing cooperative relationships with other groups. Joint Teacher - School Committee groups worked harmoniously on committees for evaluation of the Leadership Program, admin- istrator salaries, and teacher salaries. All produced mutually agreeable propos- als to be presented to the School Committee for approval. The Joint Teacher Salary Study Committee also included a representative of the Town Appropria- tions Committee, a particularly helpful member of the group. The Appropria- tions Committee was invited also to attend all budget discussions of the School Committee, and the two groups have been in constant communication on mat- ters of mutual interest. The whole committee has met twice with Town Meet- ing Members in friendly exchanges of information and questions. Finally, a rep- resentative of the School Committee has become deeply involved in a long -range study of Lexington, projecting into the 1970's and beyond, ordered by the 1964 Town Meeting. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 249 Such cooperative arrangements among citizens concerned with town affairs serve to build up confidence and understanding of one another as we all pursue our common purpose, to provide the best possible educational opportunities to all Lexington children. Respectfully submitted, ALFRED L. VIANO, Chairman ELIZABETH H. CLARKE, Secretary ROBERT H. FARWELL AUSTIN W. FISHER, JR. CHARLOTTE LICHTERMAN School Committee 250 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Introduction The following information on the status of the Lexington Public Schools for 1965 is respectfully submitted as my second annual report. One of our primary goals in 1965 was to create and refine a number of agencies and activities to improve teaching behavior and the quality of instruc- tional materials and programs. There is a distinction between what I call the form of education and the substance of it. In simplest terms I would classify teachers, pupils, materials and programs as substance, and the arrangement of these into organizational patterns as form. I would also consider that sincere efforts to deal with and improve the substance of education would produce richer opportunities for children than efforts to change the shape of the enterprise. With this premise in mind, many of our efforts this year have been devoted to improving t!,e substance of education. Our recruitment program was again expanded to reach into almost every state in the country to attract and pursue top teaching talent. Although we must accept the quality of our students as they come to us, we can and must continue to improve the quality of teachers selected for Lexington. An aggres- sive and thorough recruitment and selection program is vital if we are to achieve this objective. A careful selection process may permit occasional errors in pre- dictive judgments, but it should never permit errors of omission. We shall con- tinue to do everything possible to make certain that every newly- elected teacher is thoroughly screened and evaluated before that teacher is placed in a class- room with children. To provide teachers with opportunities for personal and professional growth we have created two agencies —a Screening Committee for Research and Devel- opment, and a Professional Library, and have refined a third, the Continuing Curriculum Committee. Screening Committee for Research and Development If one assumes that a teacher who is a consumer, applier, and innovator of research is more effective than one who is not, then efforts to help teachers assume a research posture in their classroom teaching should result in more effective teaching. The Screening Committee for Research and Development, chaired by Dr. William E. Sim, has been assigned this responsibility. We do not expect our teachers to make major breakthroughs in basic edu- cational research, but to use the findings of research in planning teaching SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 251 strategies and to employ research techniques in their classroom teaching. Good teaching is open- ended. It constantly searches for more effective ways of achiev- ing optimum learning for each child. Placing this responsibility with a commit- tee should help us to focus on, design and explore the types of programs, activ- ities, and devices which will move us closer to our objective of the research - oriented teacher. The committee has been assigned the following functions: 1. Identify needed areas of research for Lexington programs and en- courage teachers and others to design projects for study. 2. Design a paradigm for Lexington research projects. 3. Serve as a clearing house for all research proposals from Lexington personnel and outside sources. 4. Make the staff aware of the latest developments and findings in ed- ucational research and their possible application for teaching prac- tices. 5. Assist staff members in designing research or demonstration projects and in locating funds to support these projects. 6. Recommend for the superintendent's approval research proposals sub- mitted by the Lexington staff. We are presently looking for a director of research who will be responsible both to the Lexington schools and Harvard University. One -half of his salary will be paid by Harvard and he would be required to serve as a member of their staff. In Lexington he would be responsible for directing all of our research activities and coordinating joint research projects with Harvard University. In the first few months of operation the Screening Committee has already received research proposals from six Lexington teachers. I am convinced that this will become one of the most significant committees which we have estab- lished. The Continuing Committee One of the advantages of designing a conceptual framework for curriculum development last year was that it helped me to identify those areas, activities, and committees we were using to implement our curriculum development program. It also assisted me in re- defining the responsibilities of the contin- uing committee to meet some of the new needs of the program. The increased involvement of industry in the production of education ma- terials and the new developments in both methodology and content in each basic subject area have emphasized the need to place responsibility on this commit- tee for keeping our finger on the pulse of developments in each subject so that we may revise our curriculum accordingly. 252 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT With this in mind, I have expanded the responsibilities of the continuing curriculum committee to include the following: 1. To serve as a clearing house for the collection, discussion, and dis- semination of the latest information cn educational research, pro- grams, and ideas in each of the subject areas. 2. To invite to Lexington educators and others who are proposing new ideas and programs in education, to discuss the implications of these ideas for the Lexington curriculum. 3. To visit programs throughout the country which appear promising and to discuss the relevance of these new programs for the Lexington schools. 4. To keep all of the Lexington staff informed of the latest information and ideas in curriculum development. 5. To critically review and analyze feedback from Lexington teachers on curriculum implementations for improvement of our program. 6. To become a sounding board and planning agency for learning center meetin :s and other meetings for inservice training of teachers. 7. To evaluate and recommend summer workshop personnel to the su- perintendent. To keep all of our teachers informed on the activities of the continuing cur- riculum committee and the screening committee for research and development, a new publication entitled Developments has been produced under the direc- tion of Richard G. Woodward. Developments will be issued periodically and will describe the meetings of these two committees. It will also include reports of outside visitors and consultants to Lexington, as well as visits of our staff to other programs in other school systems in the country. The assumption of these new functions should encourage our teachers to reach beyond the environs of New England for promising ideas in education Copies of this new publication are available for public inspection at the profes- sional library. Professional Library The new library for the professional staff has three main purposes: 1. To provide information and materials for the continuing curriculum committees' needs to improve and develop new curricula for the Lex- ington schools. 2. To provide each teacher with information for professional growth. 3. To house teaching materials produced by Lexington teachers which are designed to implement our curriculum. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 253 Under the direction of Miss Sara Jaffarian the library has already accumu- lated books; curriculum guides from other school systems; pamphlets; yearbooks; university, federal and state education department newsletters; research abstracts and calalogs from book publishers. There are also catalogs from manufacturers and distributors of films, filmstrips, records, tapes and other instructional mate- rials. The first bibliography of the library's periodical holdings was issued in No- vember, 1965. In the same month every staff member received a listing of all of the holdings on such topics as psychology and logic, elementary and sec- ondary education, curriculum materials for each subject area, economics, social welfare, etc. Teachers are borrowing materials from the library through the interschool mail. The procedures for loaning the materials have been simplified to encour- age teachers to use all of the resources of the library. In addition to sorting in- formation contributed by educators and others outside of the Lexington faculty, we also plan to house curriculum materials which have been produced by Lex- ington teachers. As an example, a fifth grade teacher preparing a lesson on spellin'j would have access to similar materials which have been prepared by other fifth grade teachers in Lexington. To make certain that a high quality of teacher -made materials is available in the library, the continuing committees in each subject plan to screen all mate- rials submitted by teachers. Although the program began only a short time ago, many teachers, have already requested materials from the library and have spent some time in it pre- paring their lessons. Building Program Enrollment projections computed in November, 1965, indicate that enough spaces will be availab'^ n September, 1967, to establish the long- awaited kin- dergarten program. On the basis of the new projection, the school committee asked the Capital Expenditures Committee to maintain the same building pro- gram voted in 1964. (See Capital Expenditures Report in Annual Town Report, 1964). This schedule includes an additional elementary school in 1969 and a junior high school in 1971. The additional elementary school in 1969 will be needed either for kinder- gartens or, if the enrollments are higher than estimated, for grades 1/6. The following chart lists the proposed building schedule and new enrollment projec- tions. 254 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Enrollments and Building Program — Grades 1/6 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 Enrollment 4488 4578 4690 4745 4813 4879 5017 /Total Adj.

Lexington was one of 24 American communities selected by the U. S. Department of State to participate in this project. The program is financed by a Federal grant and is designed to improve the quality of the American schools in foreign countries. In late September, Mr. Alexander B. Cumming and I traveled to Warsaw to eval- uate the Warsaw School and to make final arrangements for this cooperative venture. A pressing problem faced by Americans who work and live in foreign coun- tries is that of providing their children with an education of the same quality as they would receive in America. The basic objective of the exchange program is to keep the Warsaw schools abreast of new developments in education, and to assist them in improving curriculum and recruiting staff. One of the attractive features of the Warsaw School is that it enrolls children of embassy officials from other nations. Once, during our Warsaw visit, Mr. Cumming and I noted that in a group of 14 children, seven were Americans and the other seven were from Japan, England, France, India and Sweden. One of the strongest assets America has abroad is the image projected by its educational system of free public schools. A feature of the school -to- school program which appealed to me personally was the opportunity for positive con- tact with a fairly select representation of other nations. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 255 I can think of three ways in which this program will benefit Lexington: 1. It broadens the opportunities available to teachers who are eligible for sabbatical leaves. (One of our teachers has already accepted a position in Warsaw for a sabbatical in 1967). 2. It should assist us in recruiting. Each year we have approximately 75 -100 teachers we would like to hire for whom there is no posi- tion available. Since most of these overseas assignments are for one or two years, we would be able to keep in touch with these people and retrieve them after their experience abroad. 3. Pupil exchange of letters and other materials will assist our children in learning first hand about life in a foreign country. In addition to this, we can, with a minimum of effort, through the exchange of curriculum materials, slides, tapes, pictures and the like, share some of the fine programs and materials we have developed and receive stimulation from the programs of the Warsaw School. Overriding all of these considerations is the opportunity for Lexington, under Federal sponsorship and funding, to help correct the image of the ugly American and replace it with a positive picture of our country in the minds and hearts of some of the boys, girls and parents from other lands who are associated with the American School in Warsaw. We look forward to continuing and expanding the program with Warsaw and developing similar programs with American schools in other foreign countries. Operation Headstart This past summer we received Federal funds for Operation Headstart to en- rich the educational program of approximately 20 children who were in our Pre - First Grade Program. This money was used to provide these children with sup- plemental services in health, guidance, and other special areas, under the direc- tion of Miss Hilda L. Maxfield. In addition to this, the children spent each afternoon in a specially designed program to help them acquire the additional experiences needed for a more suc- cessful beginning in our first grade. Our experiences with this program were very positive and next summer we plan to expand it to include four -year old children who have special educational needs. The importance of providing educational programs for pre - school children with special needs was underscored by Benjamin Bloom. University of Chicago, 256 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT in his recent book, Stability and Change in Human Characteristics. According to Bloom, "data suggest that in terms of intelligence measured at age 17, about 50% of the development takes place between conception and age 4; about 30% between ages 4 and 8; and about 20% between ages 8 and 17." Professor Bloom continues, "A conservative estimate of the effect of extreme environ- ments on intelligence is about 20 points. This could mean the difference be- tween a life in an institution for the feeble- minded or a productive life in society. It could mean the difference between a professional career and an occupation which is at the semi - skilled or unskilled level. A society which places great em- phasis on verbal learning and rational problem- solving and which greatly needs highly skilled and well trained individuals to carry on political - social- economic functions in an increasingly complex world cannot ignore the enormous conse- quences of deprivation as it affects the development of general intelligence." We have not fully explored the implications of Professor Bloom's findings and the corresponding relevance to the educational opportunities which we are now offering pre - school children. Our work this past summer with 20 children has helped us to better understand the special needs of these children and to plan more appropriate activities which could insure a more successful school career. I am certain that our work this summer with the four -year olds will be just as valuable. Summer Reading Program The summer of 1965 saw 158 pupils in grades 1/6 participating in a new reading program held at the Harrington School under the direction of Mr. Don- ald Johnson and Mrs. Ethel Bears. Pupils who needed special assistance in im- proving their reading skills were taught in small groups of four to six by read- ing specialists and teachers with strong backgrounds in reading. The program had two basic objectives: 1. To raise the level of efficiency for each child. 2. To help each child make the best use of his reading skills in meeting the demands of the curriculum. The immediate subjective reaction to this new program from parents, child- ren, and teachers was favorable. The majority of 115 parents who completed an evaluative questionnaire felt that their children had enjoyed the program and had shown more interest in reading as a result of it. One hundred eight of the parents said that they would enroll their child in the program if it were of- fered again. Reports from the reading specialists indicated that a number of children made significant improvement in reading and became more interested and in- volved in this activity. On the basis of this year's experience with the program we plan to offer it again next summer. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 257 Reporting Pupil Progress In November, 1965, all the elementary schools used standard forms and pro- cedures for reporting pupil progress. This program was developed by the Report Card Committee headed by Dr. Lester E. Goodridge, Jr. and Miss Margaret A. Keefe. The new reporting program has three major objectives: 1. To provide a uniform procedure for reporting pupil progress in all of Lexington's elementary schools. 2. To provide each child with some experience with success. 3. To offer each child a sufficient challenge. There are four reporting periods during the year. An important part of the reporting process are parent- teacher conferences which are scheduled during the first and third reporting periods. Parents and teachers met in individual con- ferences during the third week in November to discuss each child's progress in our school program. The new marking system is intended to summarize the pattern of growth which is unique for each individual, rather than to compare his work with others. It also reflects our commitment to planning and assessing an educational program which is appropriate for each child. The committee will continue to work during next year to improve and re- fine forms and procedures for this program. At the junior high school level one report card was used by both junior high schools. Standardization of reporting procedures and forms for the elementary and junior high schools moves us closer to our goal of unifying into one form the multiplicity of practices which existed in this area. Several of our staff members were of great assistance in preparing the ma- terial on our special services to pupils which follows. I would like to gratefully acknowledge the contributions of the following people: Speech and Hearing —Mrs. Mildred Reynolds and Salvatore A. Pace. Physical Education—Edward E. Abell and Paul Lombard. Science —John S. Choate, William F. Read and William Perkins. Music — Donald A. Gillespie, Jr. and Mrs. Deanna Kidd. Art — Russell O. Mann, Paul A. Ciano and Norman E. Brute.

Woodward edited this annual school report and assisted me in organizing this document. 258 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT SPEECH AND HEARING PROGRAM . . but he always wants to talk and the other students and I cannot under- stand what he says." "What can I do? He won't participate or recite because he is afraid he will stutter ..." "How much can I expect her to understand in class in view of her severe hear- ing loss ?" . . Her parents feel her lisp may be the reason for her unwillingness to read aloud." "He gets teased a lot about his baby talk ..." . and over and over again I ask him to repeat . . . no one can hear what he says, . . . he is always talking in a whisper." These statements by teachers and parents refer to youngsters who have con- sistent and conspicuous deviations from normal speech which interfere with communication and the learning process within the classroom. If a youngster's speech pattern calls adverse attention to itself, he will probably be enrolled in the speech and /or hearing therapy program. During the school year a screening survey of at least all second grade youngsters is undertaken by the therapists. In making this survey, the thera- pists examine each youngster individually. A brief articulation test is used which includes naming pictures, reading, and listening to spontaneous speech. After this preliminary survey has been completed, the therapists re- examine the cases found. A more detailed and complete examination is then given. Home calls are then often made to the parents or they are invited to visit with the thera- pist so that additional background information can be obtained if necessary. All youngsters who were receiving therapy at the end of the previous year will also be rechecked and scheduled for therapy if needed. Referrals from principals, teachers, parents and other Pupil Personnel staff members are also handled throughout the school year. Having selected the youngsters requiring therapy, the therapists schedule them for a specific time period on regular days once or twice a week. The therapists, in cooperation with each school principal, coordinate the therapy schedule with the general school program. Approximately one- fourth of all the youngsters requiring therapy necessitate individual sessions. The size of the groups varies according to the communication difficulty. Groups seldom exceed six youngsters and the average group is about three. However, whether young- sters are seen alone or in small groups, the therapy program is individually de- signed for each youngster and is continually re- evaluated to provide maximum progress. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 259 The majority of speech problems encountered by the therapists are those of articulation, which includes omission, substitutions, and distortions of speech sounds. Certain sounds may be habitually omitted from words, such as "I" in "swallow" which may become "swa -ow ". "Free" is a common substitution for "three ". The "s" sound is often distorted by hissing, or whistling. Some youngsters have fluency or stuttering problems characterized by blocks (the inability to 'get the word out'), repetitions (c -c -c -cat), hesitations and brok- en rhythm patterns. If a youngster can hardly be heard in class, has a hoarse, breathy, nasal or other abnormal voice quality which is interfering with effective communication, the therapist will work with the youngster to help alleviate the difficulty. There are other speech problems which include those caused by cleft palate, cerebral palsy and deafness. Often several factors are involved that either create or perpetuate the majority of the speech and hearing difficulties encountered in- cluding developmental influences, emotional conflicts; motor incoordination, or- ganic factors and perceptual deficiencies. The speech therapist is often in consultation with the classroom teacher re- garding youngsters enrolled in the speech program. Many classroom activities are helpful in making new speech habits permanent and in preventing maladjust- ments. A program on Speech Improvement for Grade I youngsters has been re- cently developed and is currently being implemented by the classroom teachers of Grade I to provide a program of good speech habits for all youngsters. A pre - school speech clinic is offered twice a year by the therapists for young- sters suspected of having speech problems. This service is offered to all Lex- ington youngsters in the hope that early detection and preventive measures against severe developmental problems can be taken. The Lexington Speech and Hearing Committee, consisting of two parents from each school who :e youngsters are enrolled in speech therapy, coordinates its efforts each year with the Speech Therapists to present a series of open pro- grams to the community on the various aspects of communication problems. The Speech and Hearing therapists in Lexington are trained to work with a wide variety of communication problems that occur during the growth of the child through his year in school. They strive to understand and to become aware of the psycho - social factors underlying the speech problems and to teach the mechanics of auditory discrimination and sound formation where necessary. The focus is on the kind of youngster who is speech handicapped rather than on the speech symptom. 260 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT PHYSICAL EDUCATION Elementary Physical Education Physical Education involves the education of the whole child through a variety of meaningful physical activities. The program in grades one through six is structured to meet the physical needs of the youngsters, and to provide experiences that help construct desirable habits and attitudes such as alertness, poise, cooperation and effort. The physical needs of the elementary children are many and varied. Hope- fully, meeting these needs begin long before formal schooling. However, guid- ing and refining the physical growth and development is the prime concern of the elementary physical education curriculum. The basic motor skills which are essential for successful participation in individual and group activities comprise the core of the program. Specifically, running, throwing, catching, and balance are of particular concern. Success in more sophisticated activities can, in almost all instances, be traced to a genuine understanding and partial mastery of these basic skills. Although muscular and mechanical needs persist, it is not practical to use only the principles that serve such purposes. The social and moral neces- sities of today place upon all forms of education the responsibility of selecting activities that contribute to democratic relations and that will offer opportunity for the individual to be tolerant, generous, friendly, and encourage manifesat- tions of self - reliance, independence, and competitive spirit, specificially; a strong and positive personality. Considerations are made of recreational activities. However, the emphasis is placed upon a graded curriculum of many physical activities; rhythms, tum- bling, ball games, strength and agility exercises exemplify these. Since instruc- tion and evaluation are so important in stimulating and rating the progress of each child at the elementary level, it is imperative that classes be of a moderate size. This facilitates a healthy teacher -pupil relationship whereby each pupil's limitations or exceptional abilities may be taken into consideration, since there is adequate opportunitiy to teach, test and stimulate. The elementary physical education staff has carefully examined the existing facilities, and together with individual and group abilities has constructed a bal- anced program. Rhythmic activities, team sport skills, tumbling, apparatus, self- testing activities, calisthenics, classroom games, etc. all help to develop a well- rounded child. A sincere effort has been made to interest every child in the immediate goals of health, fitness, and physical skill as well as the sound development of social and mental poise. The curriculum points in a positive way toward the well - adjusted individual resulting in greater success, happiness, and satisfaction. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 261 Junior High Physical Education The physical education program in Lexington's junior high schools has three general aims: to develop and maintain high levels of physical fitness, to stim- ulate mental alertness and create emotional stability, and to promote social adaptation. In developing physical fitness, physical education instructors evaluate each pupil's progress in terms of coordination, strength and endurance. In seeking to stimulate mental alertness and create emotional stability, instructors seek to instill self - confidence in each student, encourage initiative, and look for evidence of alertness, self - control and courage. Team sports are most valuable in promot- ing social adaptation, since they require both leadership and cooperation as well as good sportsmanship. Boys and girls receive separate instruction in physical education, and the following activities are included in the junior high curriculum: Flag Football Soccer Volleyball Basketball Wrestling Track and Field Speed Ball Softball Field Hockey Fitness Testing Group Games Rope Skipping Rope Climbing Gymnastics Stunts and Tumbling Tennis Golf Archery Rhythms Folk and Modern Dance Posture Apparatus Lexington High School Physical Education The Physical Education Department at Lexington High School has developed a varied and unique program for both boys and girls. The curriculum is basic- ally designed to create a degree of physical fitness worthy of American youth and foster a healthful and stimulating educational experience by providing facil- ities, equipment, and activities which contribute to the individual needs and interests of each student. All boys and girls are provided with a basic, work- able knowledge and understanding of various sports activities with a level of skill development which will enable them to participate fully and effectively. Although the general objectives of the program are basic for both boys and girls, the means of achievement and the specific goals are somewhat dif- erent. For girls, such activities as modern dance and gymnastics are carried out extensively with specific attention to the development of rhythm, grace, balance, flexibility, agility, co- ordination, as well as total physical development with spe- cial emphasis on posture and poise. Sports such as field hockey, basketball, soft- 262 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT ball, lacrosse, and volleyball provide for competition on the team level with the development of such areas as cooperation, sportsmanship, and most of all en- joyment. Endurance and stamina, essential to proper growth in a modern world with its many physical and mental pressures, are especially developed through team type activities. Girls are also given the opportunity to learn individual carry-on activities such as badminton, archery, tennis, golf, square and social dancing. Archery, golf and tennis are taught on a co- educational basis by teams of men and women instructors who are highly qualified to give instruction in these phases of the program. A method of team teaching using the individual teacher's strengths has created an opportunity for stronger and more specialized teaching within the total physical education curriculum. The boys' program is essentially a program developed to provide incentives and motivation toward the improvements and continued maintenance of physical fitness, the development of specific sports skills on a graded level of achieve- ment, a variety of wholesome activities that will lead to more worthy use of leisure time. Boys are divided into four basic color groups after extensive physical fitness testing. These color groups classify each boy in reference to his particular level of fitness and the curriculum for each color group is designed to meet the varying needs of the individuals within these groups. Color shorts are worn by the boys designating the group to which they are assigned. For boys in the top group additional incentive is created by providing the opportunity of passing the physical fitness standards necessary for admittance to the honorary physical fitness fraternity, Omega Alpha Phi (Outstanding Athletic Fitness). In addition to the coeducational activities previously mentioned, emphasis has been placed in the area of team sports for boys such as football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball, and in other individual sports such as track and field, wrest- ling, gymnastics, ropes and badminton. For those boys assigned to the lowest color group the curriculum is designed to improve the weaknesses found in the individuals within the group. Such activities as weight training, circuit training, calisthenics, running, group games involving large muscle activities, etc., are utilized. For the boy who desires to improve his fitness beyond the required classroom work which, is twice weekly, a class in weight training is offered on an elective basis. Intramural activities in most of the sports taught in physical education class- es are offered on an organized basis after school. For those boys and girls desir- ing a more highly organized competition varsity sports are offered in football, Field Hockey, (Girls), soccer, Cross - Country, Basketball, Gymnastics, Wrestling, Indoor and Outdoor Track, Ice Hockey, Lacrosse (Girls), Softball (Girls), Baseball, Tennis and Golf. Teams are operated on all levels and provide ample opportun- ity for any boy or girl desiring varsity level sports to particpiate. Testing plays an important part in both the boys' and girls' program. Se- lected tests are utilized not only as a method of evaluating the student, but also SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 263 as incentives for self- improvement on the part of the individuals involved, and to serve as a definite stimulus in improving the total curriculum. Since the Lexington High School is fortunate enough to have outstanding facilities and instructional staff, it is possible to allow the boys and girls in their senior year to select a program of activities that would best meet their interests and needs. One of the most important aspects of the program is the fine student - teacher ratio. Classes of approximately 25 -35 students per instructor are possi- ble due to an adequate staff and teaching stations made possible by a large gymnasium and field house. The development of leadership is a most important area of physical educa- tion. A student leaders' course conducted for boys and girls, with scheduled meetings twice a week, may be selected by those students demonstrating qual- ities of leadership in physical education. The practical and theoretical aspects of leadership are emphasized as part of this very important program. Continued improvement and advancement in curriculum and instructional methods are a prime objective. It is desirable that the Lexington High School Physical Fitness Department further pioneer in providing a program in physical education for boys and girls commensurate with excellence in education. Intramurals As an integral part of the physical education program, intramural after school activities for boys and girls are conducted on all levels by the physical education staff. This program starts with the two upper grades of the elementary schools where more than 800 boys and girls participate each season. The year ends with a large interschool track and relay meet at the Center Playground. At the Junior High level the natural rivalry between Diamond and Muzzey fosters a special interest in intramural competition since each season is com- pleted with several contests and play days between the schools with all boys and girls participating. The activities interest engendered in the earlier years reaches fruition in the Senior High School where an enlarged, meaningful interscholastic program at all levels gives several hundred boys and girls an opportunity for wholesome competition with other schools. Intramurals for all supplements this varsity program. 264 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT SCIENCE PROGRAM The program of science instruction begins with the summer Pre -First Grade, is part of the total curriculum in Grades 1 -6, and is taught as more specialized courses in the secondary schools. Secondary school teachers are trained in one or more fields of science. They work with pupils in specially equipped rooms. The secondary curriculum in- cludes facts, ideas: and methods of science. To supplement the regular secondary science curriculum, the science teach- ers have inaugurated a series of lectures by outstanding scientists in this area. The lecture series began in 1964 in the new lecture hall in the science build- ing with a talk on Oceanography by Dr. Robert Shrock. Dr. Shrock, in addition to his teaching duties at M.I.T. is one of several contact persons organized by Mr. William Page of Lexington. The group of contact persons, in addition to Mr. Page and Mr. Shrock, also includes Dr. Charles Ellicott and Mr. Kassman. It is this group of public spirited citizens that enables the science teachers to bring before the Lexington students such men as Dr. Roger Payne from Tufts who spoke on "Hearing in Owls and Moths ", Dr. Harold Edgerton of M.I.T. who spoke on the high speed photography project with J. Y. Cousteau. Dr. Erik Mollo- Christensen of the Department of Meteorology at M.I.T. spoke on "Fluid Dynamics ". Dr. Lawrence Grossman of the Brandeis Biochemistry Department gave a lecture on DNA. Dr. Littleton Meeks of Linclon Lab gave a talk on As- tronomy. In May of this year Professor George Miller, Chairman, Department of Psy- chology at Harvard, spoke on the function of speech and communications in intelligence. Dr. Richard Batten, Associate Director Instrumentation Lab of M.I.T. spoke on the "Apollo Project ". Each one of the speakers has given inspiration to 150 to 250 students at each lecture. This fall the students have had such noted scientists as Dr. Bloembergen who spoke on "L.asers ", Dr. Grossman who spoke on "Miosis and Mitosis ", and Dr. Konrad Bloch who spoke on "Trails in Bio- Chem;cal Research ". On the docket so far for the fall and winter are Dr. Richard Batten, Dr. Erik Mollo- Christensen, Dr. Warren Guild, Dr. R. Paul Levine. An attempt is being made to schedule one speaker per week on Tuesdays from 9:00 - 10:00. The secondary students in Lexington are fortunate indeed to have in their midst such outstanding scientists who are willing to give some time to explain to high school students what they are doing. In the elementary school classroom, science is one of the subjects that are the responsibility of the classroom teacher. The school system also employs elementary science consulting teachers. There are presently three consulting teachers assigned to the nine elementary SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 265 schools. A consulting teacher is a specialist who cooperates with classroom teach- ers in their instruction of children. The activities of a science consulting teacher can be described in three categories — planning with teachers, instructing children and developing the science curriculum. A classroom teacher determines her childrens' needs. She discovers who is interested in rocks and who is interested in rockets. She knows the child with a shell collection and the child who is familiar with the equipment of his parent's occupation. The work habits and attitudes of each pupil are revealed to the classroom teacher. All these factors she takes into account as she plans her science instruction. A consulting teacher has learned how children progress in science through several levels of competence in their six years of elementary school. The con- sultant's information can be used by a classroom teacher to plan instruction that will lead each of her pupils to a higher level of science. Each school building has resources for science teaching in its surrounding land, trees, and animals. A science consultant analyzes these possibilities and suggests lessons that will take advantage of them. At times the classroom teacher asks a specialist to instruct groups of pupils of various sizes. When a special teacher gives the instruction, some of the necessarily rigorous practice in the basic skills of science appears to a child to be more exciting than it would otherwise be. Also, a child's questions about the manipulation of science materials and equipment can better be answered by the consultant from his specialized experience. A child who is especially inter- ested in science is encouraged by having in his classroom a teacher who shares his hobby. A pupil who may not like science may learn how to communicate with the science consultant, and eventually with other pupils who are wrapped up in science. Instruction is guided by the science curriculum. All teachers contribute to the continuing development- of the curriculum. The role of the consultant in this work is obvious. He keeps informed of new commercially - produced books, equipment, and films. New products range from less expensive microscopes to kits of materials for the study of an extensive topic. Across the nation new science programs are being developed, supported by the National Science Foundation, by private foundations, and by associations of scientists and of teachers. A science consultant receives the output of such programs and tries out the materials in selected classrooms. He then reports to classroom teachers on how the new materials are related to the existing curriculum. The curriculum in elementary science needs additional creative practices. The elementary science consulting teachers are in position to contribute to the curriculum, to the advantage of all elementary children in Lexington. 266 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT THE MUSIC PROGRAM Music in the Elementary Schools The elementary music program is divided into five basic musical activities: singing, playing (instruments), listening, rhythmic activities, and creativity. In many instances these activities overlap. Singing — Since all children are equipped with one natural instrument with which they may express themselves musically, the understanding of this instru- ment —the voice —is begun at an early ace. The most fundamental activity in music is singing, thus the voice becomes the basic vehicle for musical learning. Basic music skills, including the placement of vocal tone, an understanding of rhythmic values, of melodic pitch variations, pronounciation and enunciation, are taught as a part of the music reading program. This is part of the language of music. The repertoire of songs with which Lexington children become familiar varies, extending itself as the child's cultural horizons expand. From songs of home, pets, and the community, the child through song explores new countries, customs, festivities, and dances, guided on this adventure by folk songs and songs of famous composers. Throughout this growth and expansion, the children not only become familiar with other lands and people but meet new musical problems which they, together with their teacher, solve. Emphasis throughout is placed on ever - increasing musical sensitivity and knowledge of the fundamentals of the universal language of music. Correlation is not to be an end in itself, but oc- curs naturally as a by- product of musically oriented activities. Rhythmic Activities — A natural and inseparable characteristic of music is rhythm, which regulates the pulse and duration of music. The beginnings of rhythmic skills are taught through clapping, physical movements, the playing of elementary percussion instruments and many related and similar activities. Since the voice alone cannot provide all of the important musical experiences, each child explores the use of the elementary rhythmic instruments. Provision is made for natural and creative rhythmic responses as well as learning to read rhythmic notation and to notate original responses. Playing — In the fourth grade the flutophone — a small wind instrument — is introduced. The primary value sought is increased ability to read and to un- derstand musical notation. By enhancing the visual meanings with the kines- thetic by means of fingering, it is felt that a keener awareness of intervals and their size as well as step -wise progressions takes place. Fourth grade marks the beginning of the string instrument instruction pro- gram. In fifth grade instruction on the wind and percussion instruments begins. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 267 Class lessons on these instruments are free, and are given during the school day by full -time Lexington music staff members. Hundreds of Lexington students participate in this program which functions as an introduction to orchestral, band, or ensemble playing. Listening — The purpose of the listening activity is to extend the student's musical perception beyond his capability of performance. Through listening, our students become acquainted with the works of the master composers, folk music of varied ethnic origin, the sound of the instruments as played by artists, the sound of the orchestra and band and of their choirs of instruments, and with choral and dramatic music. Creativity — Creativity is the life -blood of all the arts. For this reason such activities as creating dances to music, percussion scores to poems or to a melody, creating new verses to known songs, and writing melodies and texts form an important part of the child's experiences in the area of music. Performing Groups — For music to come alive it must be performed. For students who have the desire and the ability, each elementary school provides a glee club which prepares and presents several programs throughout the school year. Students with strong interest and talent are selected and trained for per- formance with the all- elementary chorus, band, or orchestra. These all- elemen- tary groups function as a means of providing additional learning experiences for youngsters possessing a higher degree of musical talent and interest. Re- hearsals are scheduled after the school day. Because of ability, size, and broader instrumentation of these groups, music of increased difficulty and higher calibre can be presented. Academic Music at the Junior High Schools Building on the foundation of knowledge developed during the elementary years, the segment of the music program called "academic music" continues — more in depth, and more specific. This is a portion of the classroom or general music program given to all students in Grades VII and VIII. The basic fundamentals such as problems of time and tune are explored fully and applied to singing in two, three, and four -part music. These basic in- gredients of the language of music are employed in composing melodies, writ- ing accompaniments to a melody, and in harmonization. Student compositions are sung or performed in class. The culminating activity continues to be the playing or singing of an original composition. The depth to which this may be pursued depends greatly on the group and individual talent found in the class- room plus the interest and initiative that can be induced by the teacher. At the junior high school age the listening portion of the music falls largely into units which have been designed to familiarize the student- with aspects of the vast heritage of music that has been created and left for him. The various 268 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT periods of music history are explored. Styles and other characteristics of the period are pointed out and are related to activities occurring at the same time in art, science, politics, philosophy. Outstanding contributions of noted com- posers are discussed, some of their works listened to and analyzed. Where pos- sible, suitable arrangements of short portions of choral or instrumental works are sung or played. It is felt that through participating in the performance (class or public) of a composer's work, a dimension is added that cannot be dup- licated. When this is not practical, recordings act as a substitute. Academic Music at the Senior High School Courses dealing with the academic aspect of music at the Senior High School include music theory, music appreciation (both minor courses), Music Major I, and Music Major II. At this level, the serious study of specific works representa- tive of various periods and styles takes place. Two years of the music major course are offered. The student analyzes music of composers representing the various periods of music history. Comparison of various styles is emphasized with causes and effects. Creativity is highlighted, with the student encouraged to write in each of the differing styles characteristic of periods in the history of music. It is hoped that as the course and student continue to grow, more public perforn.ances of student compositions will result. Indications are that graduates of Lexington High School who have pursued the music major courses are admitted to advanced standing in similar collegiate courses. Choral Music at the Junior High Schools Further refinement in the development of vocal techniques occurs at the junior high school. It is at this point that young people's voices undergo the "change ". Careful handling is imperative in order to prevent misuse and to avoid the embarrassment which causes young students to withdraw from vocal participation. Although vocal techniques form a part of the work in the gen- eral music class, this aspect of the program receives much further development in the performance groups. That Lexington prides itself in its choral perform- ing groups at the junior high schol level may be attested to by the popularity among youngsters and adults of the accomplishments of the girls and boys glee clubs throughout the year. Outstanding in this respect has been the work of the Girls A Cappella Choir at Muzzey and the Top Twenty Boys at William Dia- mond Junior High School. Choral Music at the Senior High School Choral work at the high school level in any community depends on outstand- ing teaching and thorough musicianship on the part of the teachers plus the accumulated knowledge gained by the students resulting from the dedication, inspiration, and musicianship of the elementary and junior high high school music teachers. At Lexington High School, general chorus is offered as an elective two periods per week. An additional opportunity is offered during the "H" Block which occurs twice weekly. During this time combined choruses of 9th and 10th graders meet as do the combined choruses of students in grades 11 and SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 269 12. These latter groups are large, numbering upward of 120 students in each, and devote their time to the rehearsal and performance of works of major stature such as the Beethoven "Mass in C Major" performed last year with student orchestra, and the Brahms "Requiem" which is to be presented in February of 1966. Opportunities for further participation in performing groups are offered through a girls glee club, a male octet, and for the most highly talented choral students, the Concert Choir. This latter group is highly selective, representing the youngsters with the greatest degree of choral aptitude and dedication. Stressed in all choral groups in addition to the necessary vccal techniques is a knowledge of the alliance of text with music, performance in the style of the period represented by the composition, and an understanding of the form of the music. Instrumental Music at the Junior High Schools To provide for continuing growth in knowledge of fundamentals and instru- mental techniques a program of private lessons is offered to secondary school stu- dents. Lessons take place after school hours and are given by outside instruc- tors who are brought in as specialists on their particular instruments. Cost of these lessons are borne by parents. Over 100 students participate in this pro- gram, now in its fourth year. Results are promising. A continuing twice - weekly rehearsal of both orchestral and band students begins with the secondary school years. Prior to this the student must have had individual or class lessons (the latter given by the school). He may have participated in the all- elementary string orchestra or band. The inclusion of regularly scheduled meetings of these groups provides for the development of a feeling of ensemble, of sectional identity (string, woodwind, brass choir) within the total orchestra or band, and permits attention to the all- pervading im- portance of intonation and phrasing. Performance provides a natural goal and outlet for the student instru- mentalist. Each secondary school has its orchestra and band. Through a series of recitals soloists and small ensemble work is encouraged, thus giving the outstanding student an opportunity to go beyond the work of the larger group and to work with his peers in the preparation of solo or chamber music material. Students from all levels — elementary, junior and senior — participate in these informal recitals. Instrumental Music at the Senior High School What has been said of instrumental music in the junior high school includes the total secondary school spectrum. Because of the improved techniques on the part of the students a much wider variety of music becomes available. Easier works of the masters are now attainable in their original form, since capability of students and the requirements of full instrumentation are now realized. 270 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT The continually improving quality of the Lexington High School Orchestra was recognized in the Spring of 1965 when the orchestra was selected as the only high school orchestra to perform at the annual conference of the 'Massa- chusetts Music Educators Association. The Senior High School Band, perhaps best known by the average towns - person for its contributions to the many sporting and parade events, spends the greater portion of its time in the rehearsal, study and eventual performance of compositions written for the symphonic concert band. Repertoire for the band contains great variety, from the military march to music written expressly to explore the potential of symphonic winds and percussion. All music activities, academic, choral, instrumental have been aimed at the achievement of goals set by the music department which briefly stated may be summed up in the following statements: — "To create in the youth of Lexington an awareness of the great potential of music in their lives —for aesthetic enrichment, for the pleas- ure to be derived from participation, and for the enjoyment that comes about as the result of increased understanding. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 271 THE ART PROGRAM Art — Elementary Schools Five of the nine elementary schools in Lexington have full -time specialists who serve as classroom teachers of art. The four smaller schools share two spe- cialists. There is an attempt to schedule one hour classes for creative art in all schools. The time factor makes for better quality teaching in depth and results in superior artistic achievement. Although there is a guide to provide for the basic philosophical approach for teaching creative art, each teacher uses his own method to accomplish similar aims. Individual differences exist and are both recognized and nurtured at the teacher and pupil level. Each pupil experiences a degree of success in some area of art expression through the exposure to a variety of materials and ideas in painting, design, collage, and sculpture with emphasis on the use of color, line, texture and compositions involving these elements of art. The visual language of tomorrow is made clear today. Art related to everyday living is in practice at all times as well as integration of art with other subject matter areas. As a part of social studies, fourth grades show a deeper understanding of the "History of Lexington" when they become involved as illustrators of fact and fancy during art periods. Art expression becomes more meaningful with "on the spot" drawing of historical houses and their contents. Preparations of drawings for printing make art come alive for this generation of youngsters. Few school systems can point to the use of a textbook illustrated with drawings created by their own children! Another example of "living art ", created by boys and girls, may be seen on the facade of the Estabrook School. A request from the architects for a design in mosaic created after the style of children was answered in the form of a mural entitled "Transportation ". Each child from a fifth grade contributed an example for the overall design. Other related works involve art activities with the stage, music and the dance as well as the humanities. Children's art works are on constant display in the elementary schools. There is an attempt to exhibit all works at all times in each classroom. An overview of this type cf work is usually shown in an annual all- schools art ex- hibit where parents, teachers and pupils themselves may see total achievement and growth in art expression. 272 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Art — Lexington High School The Art Program at the Senior High offers courses which are designed to fulfill the needs of all the students who are interested in art. Flexibility of the program allows for the coverage of most facets of art such as composition, design, color perspective, Graphics, crafts, art, history and commercial design. Great varieties of media are offered so that students have the opportunity of working with and learning the techniques of handling these various mate- rials. Major courses are given at each grade level. These provide the student who has a serious interest in art with a chance to pursue that interest and to go into depth in all areas. Major courses also provide a continuing sequence of instruction to prepare those who plan to go on with further art study in college or specialized schools. The Fine Arts are stressed. General art courses take care of the students who have desire for some art experiences during their high school study but not necessarily as a major inter- est. These students are exposed to general art concepts and have the oppor- tunity to experiment with the various media used in the department. Such courses are made available for the student who may wish an art course as a supplement to the academic program. Arts and Crafts courses are open to all students and are planned to give experiences in many types of crafts which include leather craft, block printing and other graphic arts, stained glass, copper tooling, enameling, ceramics, tex- tile painting, three dimensional design and wire sculpture. Students are per- mitted to work in those activities which interest them most but are required to do at least one project in each of the above - mentioned categories. The Arts and Crafts program provides activities of a recreational type which serve the needs of many students who are unable to take other courses or do not have the background for the general or major art courses. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 273 INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND SERVICES Each of the twelve schools in the Lexington system is provided with a broad range of instructional materials and equipment to undergird the on -going cur- riculum. In each school a collection of carefully selected up -to -date books, film- strips, phonorecords, tapes, transparencies, pictures, slides, and other materials which are classified, catalogued and centrally organized under supervision of a professionally trained specialist serve to extend and enrich the instructional program. Library and audio - visual services in each of the schools are combined to pro- vide a flexible, economic and efficient instructional materials resource center which encourages and assists students and teachers in securing the best possible book and non -book resources for teaching and learning purposes. Systemwide consultant, purchasing, and cataloguing services give the specialist assigned to the school more time to concentrate on professional service to students and teachers. Paid clerical assistance at the secondary level and the volunteer serv- ices of many interested mothers through the Parent- Teachers Association at the elementary level, to assist with daily routines, further helps extend professional time. The instructional materials specialist, in cooperation with teachers and other subject specialists, selects these reference, basic and current books which best meet the needs, interests, and abilities of the students of his school. A wealth of filmstrips, recordings, and transparencies which directly relate to the curriculum are owned by the local school and these are catalogued by and cir- culated from the instructional materials center also. A large number of films selected by the teacher for classroom instruction are secured by the materials service department from depositories at the State Department of Education and Boston University on a weekly loan basis. Special subject area films are rented from throughout the country as needed. The development of a local flim library for those titles frequently used and considered basic is under study and a few titles have been purchased. From the first grade on students receive regular instruction in the use of reference books and resource centers, with teachers and specialists together planning integration of the formal instructicn with classroom units. As the students progress, more specialized reference tools are taught and acquaintance with community and greater Boston libraries is made. Research assignments at the secondary level prepare the student for better use of college library facil- ities. Along with the teacher, the instructional materials specialist initiates the primary level child into the field of good reading and literature. The child may withdraw books for home use from his first days at school. Guidance to the individual in the selection of materials at the proper reading, viewing or listen- ing levels to meet and extend the interests and abilities of each student is one of the important services of the instructional materials specialist. He must be 274 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT aware of what is being taught at all levels in his school by all teachers so that together they may bring the best of materials to the attention of the learner. Several of the schools have in recent years incorporated in their physical facilities areas for independent study, viewing and listening. In the new center at the Senior High School, a listening room has been provided where students may listen to recorded materials without disturbing other users. A materials pro- duction area was also planned into this new facility and students, under the guidance of an audio - visual building coordinator and the instructional materials specialists, produce tapes, slides, transparencies and other audio - vsival materials for specific use of their own staff and students. A soundproof tape reproduction room is under construction at the High School and this will allow the production of multiple recordings for use throughout the system. Several language lab- oratories are in use at the secondary level with assistance in use being provided by the Assistant Coordinator of the Department. Sub - libraries in each of the units at the High School bring supplementary materials closer to the student for daily study. Elementary schools planned to open in 1966 and 1967 both include large cen- tral areas for an instructional materials resource center. These rooms will ac- commodate several groups of students at one time with the provision of an area for the primary level, for a class group, and 20 stations for independent study. Electronically equipped carrels will allow a student to pursue study be- yond reading of books and periodicals through the use of filmstrips, film loops, sound filmstrips, tape and disc recordings. Conduits for closed circuit television are provided, as in the High School and Estabrook school, should this be insti- tuted at some future date. A materials production area, adjacent to the center and combined with the teachers and clerical aides area, will provide the ma- terials specialist with the equipment and space to work with teachers and other specialists on the production and reproduction of all types of instructional ma- terials for use in the teaching - learning program. As space permits, older schools will renovate quarters to include spaces for the newer technological devices now available to the field of education. All schools have improvised areas for the provision of such services, though some are quite limited in comparative size. Materials are liberally borrowed from community and greater Boston mu- seums and libraries on inter- library loan to supplement local resources. Book exhibits of the best in current publishing in the juvenile field, with curriculum - orented catalogs, are borrowed from a national concern at no expense for two displays a year of approximately 600 books each. Similarly, the best in juvenile paperbacks have been borrowed for display purposes. In- service programs of training for the best use of audio - visual equipment have been provided all specialists and several are currently enrolled in college courses in this specialized area of education. Workshops for teachers are also conducted throughout the year, either through individual or group instruction. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 275 The 'Parent- Teacher Council is assisting the Department in revising and up- dating the Community Resources Guide which lists those members of the com- munity who offer their services to teachers and students due to their specialized training. Questionnaires were prepared for teachers to indicate the type of service and subject areas in which they would appreciate assistance. Lexington resi- dents have been most generous to share their talents with the schools in both formal and informal presentations and work with individual students in highly specialized areas. 276 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT DATA PROCESSING CENTER The first year of operation of the data processing center located in the high school has been a very productive one. The four basic pieces of equipment —a key punch, sorter, reproducer, and simple accounting machine —have been in daily use, and demands are already beginning to tax their capabilities. Some of the present activities at the center are: 1. Student scheduling: During the summer the scheduling of 2200 high school students was done with the help of a large computer. The result was a workable schedule for 99% of the students. The time saved through use of the computer allowed more time for consideration of many individual scheduling problems. This gave many students a schedule meeting all of their desires and needs that might not have been possible were the computer not used. The extra time also permitted the adjusting of many schedules in an effort to keep students in their own units for more classes and thus reduce the time spent passing out- doors between classes. 2. Attendance records: All operations concerning the maintenance of at- tendance records are being handled by the Data Processing Center. This includes the production of daily absence lists, monthly summaries, and year -to -date cumu- lative totals for each student. 3. School census: The town -wide school census was processed by the Data Processing Center. This high speed processing facilitated exact answers to many questions which could only be estimated in previous years. School districts were relocated and the effect on school enrollment analyzed without ever moving a student. The effect on the school population of families moving into and out of Lexington is being systematically observed. Answers to these and other ques- tions will prove very helpful in many phases of future planning. 4. Grade reporting: The Data Processing Center will soon undertake the task of producing report cards for the high school. This will not only result in a neater, more accurate card, but will provide the guidance department and main office with an immediate copy of each student's card. This added inform- ation will assist the guidance counselors in providing even better services for the students. 5. Surveys and lists: A very valuable and often under - estimated capability of the Data Processing Center is its ability to make various lists and complete many surveys with ease. As departments, teachers, and other administrative personnel have become acquainted with this use, the number of requests for many minor but very useful tasks has risen exponentially. Lists of students with sight handicaps, who ride bus 28, who are excused from physical education, who are band members, who take a particular course, who have had perfect attendance, etc. can all be made with ease. When used properly, these lists and surveys will help provide better services for all students. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 277 Some planned activities of the center are: 1. Permanent records: Since the Data Processing center can produce report cards, it can also produce a permanent record card for each student. This will make a more accurate record and save many days of hand transcription. Hence, colleges will receive mid -term grades and final marks not only sooner, but they will be presented in a more meaningful way. 2. Library records: Groundwork has already been started for a master file of library books to be maintained by the Data Processing Center. This could provide both teachers and students with bibliographies of specific areas. Such a file would also reduc. multiple orders of texts that are not needed, and should indicate the books for which the demand far exceeds the supply. 3. Expanded services: Perhaps the biggest undertaking for the future is to expand the services of the Data Processing Center to include more than just the high school. This would be started by assisting the Junior High Schools in student schedules. Steps toward this have already been initiated. The next log- ical step would be the production of report cards and permanent records for these schools. The problem of scheduling and grade reporting in elementary schools does not lend itself to data processing techniques, but the problem of attendance records is systemwide. Although it is not planned for the immediate future, there are plans presently being developed which would enable the Data Processing Center to maintain attendance records for all of the public schools in Lexington. All in all, the Data Processing Center is making many services available at a much more rapid rate than was originally anticipated. The total effect of these services cannot but help to provide a more valuable educational experience for all the children of Lexington. 278 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT THE LEXINGTON READING PROGRAM The development of good reading habits is a life -long pursuit. During the part of that time youngsters attend the Lexington Public Schools, they are in- structed in a variety of reading skills designed to develop confidence and in- dependence in reading. These skills are presented and developed by classroom teachers of reading in the elementary schools and further refined and extended by teachers of literature and 'English in the secondary schools. The skills and arts of communication — reading, listening, speaking, and writing — are highly complex. This fact necessitates various emphases in these disciplines at several stages of reading development in a child's life. To be a proficient reader, it is necessary for today's youngster to be able to do over a hundred different tasks. These tasks are generally grouped under major categories called skills. Some of these are: visual skills, auditory skills, skills of phonetic and structural analysis of words, comprehension skills, evalua- tive skills, and study skills. Remembering that most of these major skills are required in reading materials of almost all subjects, the educational task is as difficult as it is important. While the general pattern of learning to read is known, no two pupils develop reading proficiency in exactly the same fashion. Children differ in ability to use the skills of reading, in level of achievement within a skill, in rate of learning a skill, and in amount of practice required. As pupils progress through the grades, the difference between high- ability and low- ability young- sters become greater. The Lexington Public Schools strive to meet each stu- dent's reading needs at each grade. In addition to the methods and materials regularly used by classroom teach- ers, the Lexington Public Schools employ personnel specially educated in the techniques of teaching reading to aid in providing for pupil differences and needs. Five of these people work in the elementary schools, two in the junior high schools, and one in the high school. At each school level the reading pro- gram differs in sophistication of skills and program requirements. The Elementary Program Each pupil attending elementary school spends a large portion of his school day in study of the language arts. Within the classroom schedule a specific amount of time is allotted for the teaching of reading. The first concern is to determine the correct instructional level of every child. Continual assessment of pupil progress, strengths, and weaknesses must be an integral part of a successful reading program. Formal or informal tests are recommended and their correct use demonstrated by the reading consultant. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 279 Groupings are made by the teacher on the basis of these tests. Usually the reading consultant confirms this grouping for instruction. In addition, the reading consultant- is frequently called upon to administer reading analyses to individuals. Reports of these are made to the teachers, principals, and parents. Students are grouped according to common requirements to assure that each child succeeds and that his individual differences be provided for more effi- ciently. Each pupil is encouraged to progress as quickly as he can master the skills, using materials suited to his ability. Grouping is flexible so that a child may move from one group to another as his performance and needs dictate. The elementary reading consultant makes many classroom visits, primarily to study the problems of slow - learning groups through teaching them in the class- room. Help is provided with the organization of, and planning for the simultan- eous instruction of several groups within the classroom. Reading materials and practices are demonstrated with the total class, a small group, or individuals for the teacher, to help the pupils and augment the program. While the major focus is on a developmental program, remedial service outside the classroom is provided for selected children. The reading program in the primary grades is concerned with teaching the child to recognize words and understand ideas in sentences, paragraphs and selections. Initially the pupil learns the names of the letters in the alphabet. Thereafter, emphasis is on the phonic or sound elements of words. The child is taught to hear and write consonants, phonograms, blends, digraphs, and vow- els. The pupil then uses these skills to pronounce independently "new" words not recognized. Concurrently, a sight vocabulary is developed. Meanings of words and sentences are checked through questions and answers. Examples of other primary grade skills are structural analysis of words, recognizing words through context clues, following directions, recalling and organizing ideas, and using beginning dictionary materials. In the intermediate grades greater independence in reading and writing is noticed. Reading interests are diversified. Less time is spent on oral reading; more attention is directed toward written communication. The reading program here provides reinforcement and further development of primary grade skills. Study skills are increasingly emphasized. Examples of these are: skimming, or- ganizing, discriminating between main ideas and details, discriminating between fact and opinion, appreciating literary quality, and locating information in ref- erence books. The Junior High School Program The student in our junior high schools is usually able to pronounce words and read sentences fluently. He has increased his speed of reading. Under- standing the ideas and concepts expressed in subject content receives increas- ing attention. Reading skills are developed concurrently with subject matter. 280 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Therefore, no specific time is provided in the classroom schedule for the teach- ing of reading alone. Reading records from elementary schools, tests, interviews with students and parents provide the basis for pupil selection and program planning by a full time reading specialist in each of the junior high schools. The reading program in the junior high is fourfold: (1) a program for young - ers with severe reading deficiencies, (2) a program for students reading at grade level, but who are capable of reading well beyond grade level, (3) a pro- gram for poor spellers, and (4) a program to increase reading speed. In the first two programs, classes generally number ten to eighteen and meet daily. The second two programs may have larger enrollments and meet two or three times a week. These latter are elective courses. In addition to working directly with students, the specialist establishes liason with the subject teacher to aid in understanding a student's learning dif- ficulty. Materials and techniques are suggested for improving reading abilities. The High School Program By the time a pupil reaches the high school level of his education, he has usually acquired high proficiency in the basic skills of reading. For those few students who are still deficient in unlocking the meaning of printed symbols, a high school readinj specialist is available. Students may volunteer to attend the Reading and Study Laboratory under his direction. For all pupils in the high school greater emphasis is placed upon the develop- ment and refinement of the reading study skills initiated in earlier grades. Each teacher in the major subiect areas is responsible for the teaching of vocab- ulary, development of understanding, and the transfer of concepts to new situa- tions. At the teacher's request, the reading specialist recommends methods and materials to help youngsters in their reading of that subject. However, the major work of the specialist is to provide a Reading and Study Laboratory for the pupils to analyze their own reading, whatever the level of skill, and improve their own approach to written. material. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 281 A LOOK TO THE FUTURE The experience of two years as superintendent in Lexington has provided me with additional understandings and insights on the needs of our schools. If we are to improve the quality of our programs, we must continually search to identify and solve the problems and needs which children place before us. Last summer I appointed a committee to study the status of so- called un- derachievers and slow- achievers in Lexington and to suggest more effective methods for working with these students. Although these children represent a small percentage of our total school population, we nevertheless have a respon- sibility to make certain that we are doing everything possible to provide them with an appropriate educational program. The final report of the committee should provide the basis for future action to meet the needs of this group of children. Although previous Annual Reports, dating from 1930, underscore the value and need for establishing a kindergarten program in Lexington, we still find ourselves without this vital program in 1965. In an earlier section of this report I discussed the possibility of establishing kindergartens in September, 1967. Recommendations for this program by previous superintendents of schools and school committees were always conditional — "if pupil spaces were available, then ..." For the first time it appears that spaces will be available and I urge the community to support this program. We have waited too long to provide this vital educational experience for all Lexington children. Federal funds for education will provide educationally and economically disadvantaged communities with opportunities tc expand and enrich their ed- ucational programs. Our democratic society cannot achieve its goals unless children from these communities are offered adequate and appropriate programs. Most of the efforts for these children will be directed toward eliminating or minimizing the handicaps which prevent their educational development. It is equally important that we in Lexington, although not faced with the same types of problems as disadvantaged communities, use available Federal funds to sup- port and enrich programs which will help us to achieve our objective of the fullest possible development- of each child. In Appreciation The strength of any enterprise is only as great as the quality of the people who are engaged in it. I am constantly aware of the dedication of our profes- sional staff members. Hours in the classroom with boys and girls are supple- mented by long hours in search of ways to make teaching and learning more ef- fective with these boys and girls. Our teachers are educators in the finest sense of that term, and deserves our warmest thanks. To my fellow administrators in the central office and to the principals in each building I offer sincere appreciation for their support and assistance. 282 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT In closing, for the cooperation, encouragement and helpful suggestions given by the school committee, town officials, parents and other citizens of Lexington I am grateful. It is a privilege to live and to work in this fine community as superintendent of your public schools. Respectfully submitted, RUDOLPH J.
