REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
December 31, 1964
43
To the Citizens of Lexington:
The year 1964 has been one of continued growth for Lexington. The
Board of Selectmen also acts as the Board of Public Works. The town has made
a great deal of progress during the year in the field of public works. The Wood-
haven Trunk Sewer was started and should be completed early in 1965. A de-
tailed report on the operation of the Public Works Department has been pre-
pared by the Superintendent of Public Works and is included further on in this
report.
The Route 3 Committee headed by Selectmen Robert Cataldo met period-
ically with the State Department of Public Works to keep abreast of the progress
being made relative to the extension of Route 3.
The Town Dump on Lincoln Street was closed and the Sanitary Land Fill
operation put into full operation on Hartwell Avenue. New regulations for the
Sanitary Land Fill were adopted by the Board of Selectmen.
The Board of Selectmen, early in January, appointed the members of the
newly created Conservation Commission,
The Board appointed during the year a "Human Relations Study Commit-
tee." This committee was to report back to the Board of Selectmen on the
need, if any, of establishing a permanent "Human Relations Commission."
The Board is deeply concerned over the finances of the town and the im-
pact of proposed projects over the next five years. A Financial Study Commit-
tee was appointed to study the impact of proposed capital projects for the next
five years as well as the possible increase in operating cost over the same pe-
riod. The Financial Study Committee was to report back to the Board of Select-
men early in 1965, the report to be available before the Annual Town Meeting.
The Tong -range planning of the town has had as an integral part, the widen-
ing of Massachusetts Avenue through the Center. This was evident in 1930
when a building line was established through what was then the O'Connell prop-
erty. This is further supported by a report made to the Town Meeting when
the old fire station was taken down. It anticipated that this land could be used
in an exchange when Massachusetts Avenue was widened. In 1960 the Town
Meeting authorized the Board of Selectmen to enter into an agreement with
Joseph Trani, Inc. regarding building damages for the line which had been es-
tablished through the Trani building. In 1961 an agreement was entered into
which actually set a limit on the building damage due when Massachusetts
Avenue was widened. In 1964 Town Meeting authorized a land exchange with
the Minute Man Realty to accomplish the widening from Depot Square to
44 BOARD OF SELECTMEN
Meriam Street. Late in 1964 when the Hunt Block changed hands the Board
of Selectmen felt this was an ideal time to see what could be done to accom-
plish what the town had been working toward for over thirty years. The Board
of Selectmen contacted the new owners of the building, The 1775 Realty Trust,
to see if an agreement could be reached that was fair to all parties concerned,
the town as well as the property owners, The Board feels that the widening of
Massachusetts Avenue is essential to the continued growth of the business dis-
trict. The opportunity presents itself now to do something about it, at a rea-
sonable cost. The Selectmen feel very strongly that if the town does not take
the initiative now it will be many years, if ever, before Massachusetts Avenue
will be widened. The Board anticipates that it will present to the Annual Town
Meeting in 1965 the necessary articles for consideration by the Town Meeting
to accomplish the widening of Massachusetts Avenue. The Board would like to
stress in this report that the initiative on this project came from the Board of
Selectmen and no one else. This is too important to the welfare of the town to
be put off to another time.

Question No. 5
Law Proposed by Initiative Petition
Do you approve of a law summarized below which was dis-
approved in the House of Representatives by a vote of 109 in
the affirmative and 109 in the negative and was disapproved
in the Senate by a vote of 16 in the affirmative and 20 in the Yes
negative? No
Summary
The proposed measure provides that henceforth appoint-
ments in the executive branch of the government shall not require
the advice and consent of the Governor's Council. Exceptions to
this provision include appointments to the Youth Service Board,
Industrial Accident Board, Commission of the Department of
Public Utilities, Parole Board and Appellate Tax Board, which
appointments shall continue to require Council action. However,
should the Council fail to act upon such appointments within
thirty calendar days, then the person involved shall be deemed
to have been lawfully appointed. Any appointment in the execu-
tive branch by any officer other than the Governor which here-
tofore required Council approval shall henceforth require approval
by the Governor.
Removals from office shall no longer require the advice and
consent of the Council, except in the case of the Youth Service
Board, which removals must still receive Council approval.
As in the case of appointments still requiring Council ap-
proval, such recommended removal from the Youth Service
Board must be acted upon by the Council within thirty calendar
days; otherwise the proposed removal shall become effective as
if approval had been given. In the case of any appointment
which heretofore required Council approval the Governor may,
within fifteen days of the making of the appointment, remove
the person appointed without cause.
The Council shall no longer be required to approve the
fixing of any compensation for services rendered in the executive
department. And henceforth there need be no approval by
the Council of actions or agreements by executive officers, in-
cluding but not limited to borrowings and loans, investments,
leases, licenses, purchases and conveyances, and contracts, and
also including the promulgation of rules and regulations.
TOWN CLERK
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Governor shall at all
times remain free to seek the advice and consent of the Council
upon any matter.

central master control console; completely transistorized power supplies; and
adequate spare alarm circuits.
3. The ambulance and shop doors at Fire Headquarters should be motorized.
4. The program of corrective elevation of hydrants should be continued to
provide better fire protection for the Town.
We wish to restate the following recommendations which have appeared
in previous Town Reports:
1. Replacement of old water mains from Massachusetts Avenue up Sylvia Street.
2. Tie in the following water mains:
Marrett Road to Hudson Road along Spring Street.
Abbott Road to Oakland Street.
3. Clean water mains along Marrett Road from Massachusetts Avenue to
Waltham Street; Stetson Street from Merriam Street to Oakland Street.
In closing, the Board of Fire Commissioners would like to extend its thanks
to the members of the Fire Department for their efficiency and courtesy in
carrying out their duties; also to the Police Department as well as to other
Town Departments for their cooperation. We would also like to thank the
Honorable Board of Selectmen for their assistance throughout the year.

1964 saw an increase of 10% in single family dwellings, over 1963, with
an increase of about a 60,5 over -all increase on total permits.
This past year saw the issuance of two more permits for Garden Apartments
for a total of 88 units.
Sixteen permits for swimming pools for the year is a decided increase
over last year.
There were 15 house re- locations, most of them as a result of the proposed
widening of Route 2. There were, also, 20 demolition permits issued for various
structures. This, also, represents an all time high.
Seventy complaints were received during the year, these dealing in most
cases with Zoning and Sign violations.
Having served as Building Inspector for the past ten years, I am taking this
opportunity to make a more detailed report covering this period.
In 1955 the Department consisted of a full time Building Inspector, part -
time Plumbing Inspector, part -time Electrical Inspector, and a full time clerk,
which operated under the Superintendent of Public Works.
196 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY
At that time there were 5,443 dwellings in the Town and approximately
160 business buildings and a population of 22,250. The Department was charged
with the enforcing of the Building Code, the Plumbing Code, Electrical Code,
and the Zoning By -Law. The Inspectors, who were charged with the enforce-
ment of these By -Laws, operated more or less independently.
In 1955 the Building and Plumbing Code consisted of 64 pages, the Sign
By -Law was %z page in the Building Code, and the Zoning By -Law consisted of
a 50 page booklet.
At the start of 1965 there were 7,659 single family dwellings and the com-
mercial and business type structures had more than doubled, with the population
of the Town exceeding 30,000.
In 1965 the Building and Plumbing Code consists of 93 pages and the
Zoning By -Law, after many additions and alterations, is more than 70 pages.
The Sign By -Law is now a separate Code and the Gas Code is another 70
page Code.
Since 1955 the Town has established an Historic Districts Commission and
the Board of Appeals has increased their activity, both of which directly affect
the Building Department.
Since 1955 there has been over $55,000,000 worth of permit valuation
issued at an average of over $5,500,000 worth a year.
Although the Department has since 1955 been reorganized with three In-
spectors operating out of one office and under the administration of the Building
Inspector, the Department still operates with only one full time Inspector, two
part -time Inspectors and a full time clerk,
The growth of the Town, the changes in complexity of the construction, and
the additional duties now expected of the Department, cannot adequately be
handled by such a staff.
The major problem is in the Zoning, Historic Districts, and the Sign By -Law
fields. These categories plus the added Board of Appeals duties now take up a
good 35% of the Building Inspector's and the clerk's time and usually at the
expense of something else,
The time has ccme when the Town must start considering a full time
Electrical and a full time Plumbing and Gas Inspector. The most pressing need
is for additional help to work in the Zoning, Historic Districts, and allied areas.
All these additional duties are at present handled by the Building Inspector.
It is impossible for one man to serve as administrative head of the Depart-
ment, be Building Inspector, and handle the problems of Zoning, Board of
Appeals, Historic Districts, and Sign By -Law and give sufficient and proper
coverage for all.
The Building Department wishes to thank all the Department and Officials
for their assistance during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
DONALD K. IRWIN,
Building Inspector

198 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY
The year 1964 has shown an increase in new buildings and a rise in Elec-
trical Permits issued. With the building of the Battle Green Apartments,
Burroughs Building, Elks Building, St. Brigid's School, and the addition to the
Fairlawn Nursing Home, and the drive by Boston Edison to increase the Services
to the homes and with the re- location of 15 homes, it has been a busy year.
An inspection was made at the Grey Nuns Nursing Home, Lexington Home
for the Aged, and 16 Kindergarten Nursery Schools.
I wish to thank the Building Inspector and Department, the Superintendent
of Public Works, and the members of the Fire Department and the Police De-
partment for their assistance.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL DEFENSE
December 31, 1964
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Lexington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
During the year 1964, quiet but steady progress was made in disaster
control, emergency planning, and resources management by the Lexington Civil
Defense Department. The importance of the role of Civil Defense in the total
defense structure of the United States has been outlined by the Secretary of
Defense and confirmed by a report of the House Armed Services Committee
made after extensive hearings. The Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency has
made great progress in defining a program of disaster control and emergency
planning for local governments to follow.
Lexington was fortunate in 1964 as there were no major disaster situations
which developed during the year. Eastern Massachusetts, however, was not as
fortunate, with our neighbors suffering from drought, explosion, aircraft crash-
es, and major fires. Three times during 1964 the Lexington Civil Defense or-
ganization went on alert for hurricane threats. Fortunately the hurricanes turned
out to sea and created no problems, On the national scale, natural disasters
resulted in great damage to the country, and the Government acting through
the Office of Emergency Planning and Civil Defense Organization has appro-
priated nearly forty -eight million dollars in disaster relief.
The need for effective resources management became increasingly apparent
following the disastrous Alaskan Earthquake. Recovery from disaster requires
rapid restoration or repair of those things damaged and destroyed. The wise ap-
plication and use of all available resources to effect restoration, repair, and re-
covery is the objective of the new Resources Management phase of disaster con-
trol planning. Lexington, by its nature, does not have large pools of physical
resources within the geographic limits of the Town; preplanning becomes es-
sential for the most effective use of those resources that are available and for
proper coordination of our requests for assistance to the State Civil Defense or-
ganization.
During 1964 your Director had the privilege of serving as National Vice
President of the United States Civil Defense Council. This is a nation -wide
organization of kcal and county civil defense directors. As Vice President,
your Director has been requested from time to time to sit in on discussions and
planning sessions with representatives of the Department of Defense. The in-
sight into the National Program and its future direction gained by participation
in these activities has enabled the Lexington Civil Defense program to move
forward with a sureness and a rapidity which would not have been possible had
such information come through the regular channels.
Shelter
Fallout shelter is the core of Civil Defense. First emphasis has been given
to planning the use of the best available shelter at any time. This is, of itself,
PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY 201
a broad effort involved not only in obtaining the shelters and making them
ready, but also planning their use including assignment, warning, shelter man-
agement, and so on.
Surveys of existing buildings in Lexington by the Army Engineers continued
during 1964. At the end of 1964, spaces for 28,013 people had been ap-
proved by the Engineers for use as fallout shelters. Because of the restricted
nature of the occupancy, 3,710 of these spaces while located in Lexington will
not be available for use by the citizens of Lexington. Shelter spaces for the
additional 8,000 people could be provided by expedient modification of exist-
ing buildings and the use of portable ventilating equipment in these buildings.
Emergency supplies consisting of sanitation kits, radiological kits, food,
water, and medical supplies for 10,299 people have already been received from
the Federal Government and placed in the shelter buildings. These supplies are
provided by the Department of Defense at no cost to Lexington. Federal cost
for the supplies received to date has been $24,924.43.
A shelter utilization plan has been developed which provides for the most
effective use of these shelters by the citizens of Lexington in the event of an
emergency. This plan for Emergency Operation assigns the occupants of each
residence in Lexington to a community shelter building. Prompt distribution
of these assignments would be made if the situation demanded such action.
The plan is being continually updated each time additional shelter spaces become
available; because of these changes, distribution at this time does not seem
appropriate.
Warning
After several false starts, the Lexington Civil Defense Warning System now
seems close to realization. Bids for the system were received in November, and
award of the contract by the Board of Selectmen was made in December. Com-
pletion of the total system is called for within ninety days of the signing of the
contract. With the completion of this system, a very important I :r.l: in the total
disaster control facilities of Lexington will be completed.
Radiological
During 1964 the Civil Defense Department secured a supply of personal
dosimeters to be used by emergency personnel in the event of a nuclear inci-
dent. Forty of these dosimeters have been supplied to the Fire Department
along with geiger counters and survey meters. These instruments will be im-
meditely available in the event of a motor vehicle accident or other situation
where there may be danger form radioactive material.
A system of measuring the level of radiation through instruments assigned
to the forty buildings designated as shelters plus seven additional monitoring
stations is under process of being developed. During emergency operations,
this will provide the Town Officials with a continuing report of levels of radia-
tion within the Town.
202 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY
Surplus Property
During 1964 the Town of Lexington received Federal Surplus Property with
an acquisition cost of $29,014.88. Among the large items received during the
year was a 5 -ton dump truck, two heavy -duty snow plows and frames, a large
four -wheel platform trailer, and many small items of supplies and equipment
which are being used by several Town Departments.
Matching Funds
An expenditure of $9,449.75 was made during the year for equipment
under the Federal Matching Funds Program, and the amount of $4,699.87 has
either been returned or is in the process of being returned to the Town of Lex-
ington. This money in large measure represents a return of Federal funds for
expenditures required outside of the Civil Defense program.
Auxiliary Fire Service
The Auxiliary Fire Service continued their weekly drills and training ses-
sions throughout 1964. Members reconstructed the body of Auxiliary Rescue
12, a surplus crash truck from Hanscom Field, and this truck with the assistance
of the Federal Government has been equipped with the necessary tools and ap-
pliances for heavy rescue work.
There were fifty-one situations during the year where Auxiliary equipment,
either Engine 11 or Rescue 12, were used in the operation of the Lexington
Fire Department, Members of the regular Fire Department used the equipment
thirty-four times either to fill in for first line equipment or to supplement this
equipment during emergency situations. Auxiliary members used the equipment
seventeen times in providing assistance to the regular department.
Communications
With finanical assistance from the Federal Government, transistorized trans-
ceivers were supplied to the Police Department for use in their cruisers. These
transceivers will operate on the Civil Defense -Local Government frequency along
with other Town Departments. The equipment from the police cruisers was
transferred to the Public Works Department. They are now in use in trucks and
other heavy units used for snow plowing and other public works activities where
more effective operations can be conducted if the dispatcher has the ability to
reach this equipment while it is on the road.
Amateur radio operators provide the primary back -up communications link
between Lexington and the State Civil Defense Agency, In addition, they would
provide supplemental radio communication within Lexington during emergencies.
The amateur radio organization drills and has meetings three times a month.
During 1964 they assisted the Police Department on Halloween and provided
communications to the Town Celebrations Committee and the Chief Marshal
of the April 19th parade.
Police Service
Lexington's eighteen uniformed Auxiliary Police assisted the regular Police
Department during the April 19th activities, both in the morning and afternoon
parades. On Halloween they also were cut patrolling the Town to cut down on
vandalism.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
FOR YEAR 1964
December 31, 1964
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Lexington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section 1, Article XVII of the General By -Laws of the
Town of Lexington, the Planning Board hereby submits its annual report for
the year 1964.
The Planning Board held 41 meetings and 21 public hearings on sub-
divisions, street name changes and zoning amendments, as required by state
laws. As a result of proposals sponsored by the Planning Board, eleven zoning
amendments were adopted by the Town Meeting as follows:
Definition of "Story" amended — Sec. 2 (k)
Definition of R 1 districts amended — Sec. 4 (a)
Land at Shirley St. rezoned to A 1 district — Sec. 4 (g) 7
Institutional uses in R 1 districts revised — Sec. 5 (a) 7. c.
Storage and distribution permitted in CM 1 — Sec. 5 (f) 2. c.
Height of office buildings in C 4 districts — Sec. 5 (j) 2. a.
Height of office buildings in C 4 districts —Sec. 7 (a)
Regulations for institutional uses in R 1 districts — Sec. 8 (a) 5
Yards in C 2 districts next to A 1 districts added —Sec. 8 (c) 1. a. (1)
Security gates permitted in C 4 districts — Sec. 8 (j) 1. b.
Temporary reduced parking by Bd. of Appeals — Sec. 14 (h)
Two zoning amendments were defeated, Spring St. rezoning to C 3 and
Worthen Rd. rezoning to A 1. Five zoning amendments were submitted by
citizens' petition and one of them (addition to C 2 district on Worthen Rd. —
Sec. 4 (d) 5) was adopted by the Town Meeting.
Nine new subdivisions involving 81 lots and 5,557 ft. of streets were acted
upon by the Planning Board. They include:
Pinewood, Section 1 (Dewey Rd.)
Country Club Manor, Sec. 2 (Valile Rd. et al.)
Sanderson Rd. extension
Mohawk Drive off Oak St.
Juniper PI. extension
Jackson Estates (Brigham Rd.)
The Orchard, Sec. 1 (Bloomfield St. extension)
Estabrook Gardens, Sec. 1 (Hadley Rd.)
Minute Man Highlands, Sec. 4 revised (Worthen Rd. et al.)
204 PLANNING AND RECREATION
Eleven more new subdivisions were reviewed by the Board in the preliminary
form, a majority of them is expected to be resubmitted in 1965 in the final
form for approval by the Planning Board. Sixty -two plans believed not to require
approval as subdivisions were reviewed by the Planning Board and endorsed,
unless determined to be a subdivision.
In accordance with the requirements of the subdivision control law numerous
bonds and other securities, furnished by developers to guarantee streets and
utilities in subdivisions, were accepted, reduced or released. The Town now
holds $501,000.00 in such bonds and securities for subdivisions.
Following the appointment of the new planning director in March the fol-
lowing studies were undertaken and completed as a part of the long -range
comprehensive plan: population projection, study of retail business outlook for
Lexington, and a survey of the condition of all streets in Lexington which shalt
lead to the preparation of a town map showing the status or condition of each
street in town. Zoning By -Law and Zoning Map were revised and reprinted. A
revision of Subdivision Regulations has been completed in draft form and is now
being reviewed by the Superintendent of Public Works and by the Town Counsel.
A study and analysis of present and future land uses is in progress, the League
of Women Voters is assisting the Planning Board in this by making a survey of
available residential land. It is the intention of the Planning Board to consolidate
these studies and publish them in the form of "Phase Two" of the Summary
Report on Lexington's development.
The cost of legal advertising or notices on public hearings and zoning
amendments, which is required by state laws and over which we have no control,
exceeded the funds appropriated by more than $700.00. Part of this extra cost
was met by economies in other accounts, but additional funds became necessary
and $325.00 were voted for Planning Board expenses for December.
In conclusion, the Planning Board wishes to thank the Board of Selectmen,
the Departments and Boards under their control, and all other Town agencies,
committees, and civic groups for their cooperation and assistance in 1964.

REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE
December 31, 1964
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Lexington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
We respectfully submit the following report covering the activities of the
Recreation Committee for the year 1964.
PLANNING AND RECREATION 205
During the year the committee met fourteen times and went on five field
trips. Joint meetings were held with the Board of Selectmen, Appropriation
Committee, School Committee, Capital Expenditures Committee, Finance Board
and the Planning Board. In their deliberations, the members of the committee
considered: (1) future planning; (2) immediate requirements for expansion and
improvement of both facilities and program; and (3) conducting the recreational
program under the supervision of the Recreation Director.
A special field trip and meeting was held with the Selectmen, School Com-
mittee, 'Planning Board and School Department to complete the over -all plans
for the future of the Worthen Road and High School area. Meetings were also
held with the Conservation Group and Lions Club to develop the Lexington
Reservoir as a swimming, fishing and picnic area.
Near future planning involved the completion of the Worthen Road and
High School areas at the Center Playground, the completion of the Baskin area
(1 acre), and the start and completion of the Sutherland Road (Liberty Heights)
area, also of one acre, both for recreational purposes. Two junior size baseball
backstops were installed at the Center area following the relocation of both
diamonds. Tennis courts at the East and Center Playgrounds were hot topped
(2 at East and 2 clay courts at Center). 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 depend upon the use and interest shown by the
citizens of the particular land areas.
Future improvement and expansion of facilities include drinking fountains
at the Harrington and Fiske playgrounds, a major backstop for the new senior
diamond along Worthen Road, outdoor basketball and all purpose hot topped
areas for East and Center playgrounds and additional football stands for the
visiting side of the football field. An engineering survey of the Lincoln Street
area (old dump) for future recreational land is also included plus swings for the
Kinneen playground.
The program was expanded as follows:
1.) An afternoon summer basketball league for the playgrounds
was introduced.
2.) A fall soccer program on Saturday mornings for 5th and 6th
grade boys was also introduced and proved very popular with
an average of 95 boys each Saturday morning. This helped to
fill the gap between the summer playground season and the
indoor gym classes.
3.) The winter programs were lengthened bringing recreational
activities in Lexington to an eleven month program.
Ice skating areas were utilized at every moment depending on the weather,
The following table compares the attendance on Lexington's playgrounds
during the last three years:

Arts & Crafts was lower in attendance figures due to five rained out after-
noons plus an increase in afternoon activities as pet shows, treasure hunts, etc.
Cool weather helped to establish an all time playground high of 15,547. The
previous high was in 1961 — 13,704. With temperatures never reaching 80°
during the first 3 weeks in August, the pool attendance dropped to 23,552
from last year's record of 24,287. Sunday swim and mixed adult evening swim
are still popular.
All inter - playground competition was again held at the Center Playground
where the major facilities were used. Girls' volley ball matches were held on
Monday and Wednesday followed by water polo and swimming in the pool.
Tuesday and Thursday saw the boys' junior and senior baseball teams in action.
Swimming and water polo in the pool rounded out their morning sessions. All
events were held in the cool mornings enabling the teams to report to their
respective playgrounds for the afternoon session.
Inter - playground basketball was introduced. Adams and Center, having no
outdoor basketball area, played their contests at Harrington and Hastings
respectively. Attendance figures were as follows:
Center 3,832

At the request of the School Health Committee and a number of local
physicians, a throat culture service was initiated by the Health Department iri
January, This service was for the use of physicians to determine the need of
prophylactic treatment of school children in contact with a primary case of
Streptococcal Throat infection in the household. A change in the minimum re-
quirements of isolation and quarantine in July, 1964 caused the Health Depart-
ment to discontinue this service.

in Lexington for 1964, 975 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 being vaccinated is relatively high.
Oral Sabin Poliomyelitis Clinic
The Oral Sabin Vaccine Program was set up on an annual basis by the
Health Department in 1964. A total of approximately 1,400 residents partici-
pated in the Oral Sabin Program conducted by the Lexington Health Department
in 1964. The offering of Oral Poliomyelitis Vaccine once a year on a tunic
basis, for all children 3 months of age and over will insure proper immunization
of all new -born babies and new residents of Lexington.
Influenza Clinic
The annual Influenza Clinic for all Town and School Personnel was held in
October, 1964, with a total of 212 Town Employees taking advantage of the
Booster dose offered by the Health Department.

Pre - School Eye Screening Program
In cooperation with the Pre - School Parent Teachers Association and the
Lexington 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 201 children screened 4 were referred to their private physicians
for further examination.
Glaucoma Clinic
In cooperation with the Lexington Lions Club and the Massachusetts Division
of the Blind the Health Department participated in a Glaucoma Screening Pro-
gram in May, 1964. All patients were notified of the results of the screening
and patients with any abnormalities were advised to consult their private
physicians for further treatment. Of the 441 people screened 13 were referred
for further treatment and 29 were advised to be tested for glasses or have their
present glasses checked.
Dental Clinic
The Dental Clinic and the Dental Health Education Program is conducted
under the supervision of Miss Isabel Cordeiro, Dental Hygienist. Miss Cordeiro
replaced Mrs. Frances L. M. Porter, who resigned from the position of Hygienist
this year. Dr. Thomas Bane, a local dentist, is employed for the clinic work on
a part time basis by the Board of Health.
The six -month follow -up program continues to prove most successful in
detecting dental defects before they become extensive. Dental Certificates are
also a very important part of the follow -up program. The dental buttons which
were introduced in 1962 seem to be a source of stimulation to the pupils in
the lower grades.
In the 1963 -64 academic year, there was a decrease of an average of 14
percentage points, in the number of elementary children submitting dental
certificates. In two classrooms, in which every child submitted a dental certifi-
cate, banners and letters of commendation from the Board of Health were
presented.
Dental Health education continues to be an important phase of the dental
hygienist's work. Posters were distributed to all the elementary classrooms and
an eye- catching dental display provided in each classroom during National
Children's Dental Health Week. Motion pictures and filmstrips stressing Dental
Health have been shown in all the elementary schools throughout the year.
All recommendations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health
(Dental Division) for the protection of patients and personnel have been corn -
plied with in regard to X -ray equipment and films used in the Clinic.
Report of Dental Hygienist
Dental screening examinations were completed in all the elementary schools
except for the absentees which are still incomplete. During the Fall term, there
were 3,972 children examined and 897 defect notices mailed.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Lexington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
December 31, 1964
The following is the report of the Director of Public Health for the year 1964.
Laboratory
The Health Department Laboratory was certified by the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health to perform bacteriological analysis of water, and
eating and drinking utensils. Routine laboratory analysis of milk and multi -use
restaurant utnsils was performed with the supplementary testing services of the
Food Industries Laboratory of Winthrop. Bacteriological analysis of water from
private drinking supplies 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. Beginning January 1,
1965, all food service establishments (eating establishments) will have to obtain
a permit from the Lexington Board of Health under the provisions of a new
Statewide Sanitary Code. Food markets, bakeries, and catering establishments
were inspected for maintenance of sanitary standards and for safe practices of
handling and transportation of food products.
Multi -use utensils used in eating establishments were subjected to routine
analysis to determine compliance with the regulation for bacteriacidal treatment.
Of the 372 samples collected and tested 43 or 11 % were over the accepted
standard. Owners or managers were notified to correct these deficiencies. Re-
sampling was done to determine compliance.
Milk Sanitation
There were twenty-one licenses issued for 1964 to milk dealers supplying
the Town of Lexington. Two - hundred and twenty -three (223) random samples
representative of all dealers were collected for laboratory analysis. Three (3)
samples were positive for the presence of phosphatase indicating improper
pasteurization. Eighteen samples exceeded the legal standard for a colony plate
count, and thirty-eight exceeded the legal standard for the coliform count.
Notices of deficiencies and re- sampling of products was carried out when stand-
ards were above the legal limit. Two licenses were revoked for failure to correct
violations of bacterial standards and one licensee was notified by registered mail
that any further violation of sanitary standards would result in a revocation of
license.

PUBLIC SERVICES
Water Analysis
The public water supply was tested weekly by the Metropolitan District
Commission Water Laboratory. Additional tests of the public supply were made
in six homes by request of the householders. All tests showed the public water
supply free from contamination.
Three well -water supplies on private property were tested and one was found
contaminated. The owner of the contaminated well was notified not to use the
supply for drinking or culinary purposes.
Nine public and community swimming pools were routinely tested for residual
chlorine and hydrogen -ion concentration to determine the level maintained for
continuous disinfection. Two were found deficient in chlorine residual and cor-
rections were obtained. One natural pond used for bathing purposes was analyzed .
routinely and bacteriological examinations showed the water below the limits for
safe bathing waters.
Three small streams that serve as surface water drainage conduits were
sampled and tested. All were found within the limits set for the pollution of
inland waters.
Lots, Cesspools and Septic Tanks
Seventy -seven (77) applications were accepted for private sewage disposal
systems. Approximately two hundred and fifty (250) lot inspections were made
to determine grading, soil conditions, sub- surface water levels and suitability for
private sewage disposal systems. Sixty -three (63) permits for private sewage
disposal systems were issued after each new or replacement installation had been
inspected for approved standards of construction.
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.
Sanitation of New Subdivisions
There were six subdivisions and one modification of a subdivision submitted
to the Board of Health for approval during 1964. All were approved for com-
plete development on the basis that public sewerage and water supplies would
be provided in the development.
Child Care Centers
The Board issued licenses to eleven (11) Child Care Centers under new
regulations adopted by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. License
approval requires inspections and certifications by Building and Wiring In-
spectors and by the Registry of Motor Vehicles where transportation is provided.
Two additional Centers are in the process of completing application requirements.
PUBLIC SERVICES 221
School Health Services
The Board of Health is responsible for the communicable disease regulation
pertaining to school pupils and school personnel. The communicable disease
regulations were amended, effective August 1964, and new editions were
made available to the School Nursing Staff. The School Health Services and
the Board of Health cooperated in effecting the immunization program for
pupils and the physical examination requirements for teachers.
Complaints and Nuisances
One hundred and eighteen (118) complaints of conditions considered
detrimental or hazardous were received during 1964. A breakdown of com-
plaints received is as follows:
40 Exposed sewage wastes
30 Rubbish and garbage nuisances
12 Drainage problems
8 Animal and fowl complaints
3 Safety hazards
5 Noxious weeds and odors
20 General information
All complaints were investigated and evaluated and corrections were ob-
tained by written notices to property owners and occupants.
Rubbish and Garbage
One application for a permit to maintain a private dump site was received
by the Board. After a hearing with the petitioner and because of the close
proximity to dwellings and the objections of the Traffic Committee, the Board
denied the application.
The disposal of rubbish at the Municipal Dump on Lincoln Street was
discontinued after October, and the new dump site at Hartwell Avenue began
receiving all inorganic wastes. Inspections at the new dump site have shown
the area landfill operation being carried out in accordance with accepted
standards. No evidence of insect or rodent infestation has been found.
Insect and Rodent Control
Eighteen (18) complaints of rat infestation and eight (8) complaints of
mosquito breeding were received in 1964. 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-eight permits to keep domestic animals and fowl were issued in
1964. Initial inspections were made to determine land area and facilities
222 PUBLIC SERVICES
available with consideration for neighborhood abutters. Follow -up inspections
were made to determine compliance with sanitation regulations. Five applica-
tions 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.
Convalescent and Nursing Homes
Four private convalescent and nursing homes licensed by the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health to give nursing or domiciliary care to the aged
were inspected by the Health Officer. One home giving domicilary care was
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 by
the Health Officer and Sanitarians from the District Office of the Massachusetts
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. A chest x -ray Screening Program was conducted by the District
Office and ten workers were screened and found negative. The chest x -ray
program will be continued during the coming year.
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.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
December 31, 1964
223
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Lexington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
Because of the developments described below concerning rabies, we strongly
urge that all dogs be revaccinated regularly either at the annual Rabies
Clinic or privately.
An outbreak of Rabies occurred at Quebec and spread along the Canadian
border from New York to Maine. Active trapping and poisoning of skunks and
foxes on both sides of the border has become necessary to clean out the
reservoir resident in the woods. There has been a 'hot bed' of infection in
northern Vermont and western Maine. Here there were (approximately) thirty
(30) cases in Maine, thirty (30) in New Hampshire, and fifteen (15) in Vermont,
of these one (1) was a cat in Maine and one (1) dog in New Hampshire. There
was one (1) horse in Maine in 1963.
In Massachusetts one rabid bat from Westford bit a man in Littleton in
July 1964. He was treated with the new duck embryo killed tissue vaccine
and hyperimmune serum which is the official recommendation of the World
Health Organization. The man suffered no ill effects either from the vaccine
and serum or the bite. The Pasteur treatment of old was always painful and
sometimes dangerous, but with the new vaccine these problems are eliminated.
There were two confirmed cases of rabies in Connecticut in December
1964 only sixteen to twenty miles from the Massachusetts border near the
Berkshires. The nearest case in New Hampshire was only one hundred and
fifteen air miles from Massachusetts, which is really not too far away.
All the New England States have now reported bat rabies except Rhode
Island, and they probably have it too since some of the Massachusetts cases
were close to the border.
A survey by the Harvard University School of Public Health brought out
the existence of a potential rabies problem in eastern Massachusetts. Of
five hundred and twenty (520) bats of four (4) species collected in southern
New •England from fifty -six (56) sites, eight (8) bats were declared positive
for rabies after an examination of their brain tissue. Dr, Kenneth F. Girard
in this report stated that three of the eight were "probably sick" and the
other five showed no signs of ill health, All except one of these were found
in eastern Massachusetts. "In view of the potential danger" the investigators
wrote in the current New England Journal of Medicine "it is important that
all persons be cautioned, especially children, to avoid handling of bats. In the
light of our findings, bat bites whether unprovoked by the bat victim or not,
should be considered bites by a rabid animal until proven otherwise, and to
be treated promptly according to the recommendations of the World Health
Organization."
The recent run of racoon deaths has been attributed to an epidemic of
virus distemper the same as in dogs. There have been other deaths in 'coons'
224 PUBLIC SERVICES
in the Amherst area of an encephalitis type due to Listeria monocytogenes
which is regarded as the etiologic agent of infectious mononucleosis in man.
Diagnosis of the racoon encephalitides agent was necessary in the light of
the rabies problem.
Let me emphasize again the importance of vaccinating your dogs once
yearly for Canine distemper since one -third of the properly protected dogs lose
their immunity completely in one year and another one -third in two years. The
vaccination given at the clinic is for rabies and not canine distemper.
During the Spring of 1964 epidemic of canine distemper in Lexington,
the dogs who died from this virus disease were those who had not been
vaccinated at all or who had not received their annual boosters.
Cats also have their type of distemper which is completely different from
the canine type although they are both viruses. Cats are not affected by dog
distemper virus nor vice versa. The cat distemper virus kills the white blood
cells. Annual vaccination is recommended.
There were five animal heads sent into the Wasserman Laboratories this
year for rabies examination, all tested negative. The animals concerned had
bitten people, and had to be examined as defined in the Rabies Control Law.
There were a total of 170 animal bites reported in 1964, these bites are as
follows:
160 dog bites
2 cat bites
2 hamster bites
2 mole bites
2 mouse bites
1 racoon bite
1 squirrel bite
The Rabies Clinic, held annually in May, has proved to be most effective.
The number of dogs vaccinated has increased each year.
Be sure to get your dog and cats vaccinated privately each year for Canine
Distemper, Hepatitis and Feline Enteritis
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 goad health. This information
also serves as an annual animal census:
Cows, Bulls and Beef Animals 60
Horses and Ponies 66
Sheep 6
Goats 7
Swine 117
All animals and premises were found to be free of contagious diseases.
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

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
December 31, 1964
225
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 1964.
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 reconstruction, etc.

No appropriation was made for reconstruction of existing public ways in
1964.
CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION: A contract was awarded to J. J. O'Brien
& Sons, Inc. on October 7, 1964 in the amount of $171,334.24 for the recon-
struction of Massachusetts Avenue from the Arlington - Lexington line to Marrett
Road. The funds available are the Chapter 90 appropriations of 1963 and 1964
coupled with Chapter 718 and 822 funds. Work began late in 1964 and
will be completed by mid - summer of 1965.
CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE: On June 29, 1964 a contract was signed
with Trimount Bituminous Products Company in the amount of $34,515.00.
Part of the work in the contract included the following street under Chapter
90 Maintenance:
Street Length
Waltham Street 2118 Feet
CURBING: The amount of $5,000, was appropriated in 1964 for the in-
stallation of granite curbing. This is the amount which has been appropriated
for the past several years. A breakdown of this work follows:
Street Length
Bedford Street 343'
Waltham Street 1077'
1420 Feet
SANITARY LAND FILL: In 1964 the use of the Lincoln Street dump
as a modified sanitary land fill came to an end. The new Hartwell Avenue
site was opened and is being operated as a fully sanitary landfill, which entaiis
covering the rubbish after compaction with clean fill.
To develop and prepare the new area much preliminary work had to be
done. Except for the original excavation of peat and backfilling with good
material done by contract in 1963-1964 for the starting area and roadway,
all the other preparations and incidental work were accomplished by Town
Forces. These preparations included: A 6" water main extending from the
intersection of Hartwell Avenue and Maguire Road into the landfill area;
excavating a 24" gas main so a steel sleeve could be placed around it by
Algonquin Gas Company and later backfilling the trench; sealing off the starting
area with dikes or dams to keep ground water from travelling into and out
of the rubbish; and clearing trees and brush where necessary.
The contract with the exterminator was continued at both Lincoln Street
and Hartwell Avenue during the year with excellent results at both sites.
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 Years Day, Easter Sunday, April 19th, May
30th, July 4th, Labor Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
GARBAGE COLLECTION: On May 18, 1964 a contract was signed with
PUBLIC SERVICES 227
Stanley Roketenetz, Inc. to collect garbage for the one year period beginning
'June 1, 1964.

STREET LIGHTING: Funds were appropriated in 1964 to install mercury
vapor lighting on Massachusetts Avenue from :Marrett Road to the Arlington -
Lexington Line, As yet this work has not been done, It is expected that the
Boston Edison Company will complete this project sometime early in 1965.
Fifty 800 lumen lights were removed during the year. Sixty -four 1,000
lumen, 10 -2,500 lumen, 1 -6,000 lumen, 5- 11,000 lumen M.V. lights
were installed, so currently lamps in service are as follows:

STREET SIGNS: During 1964 75 street signs were replaced or newly in-
stalled. A new and larger "MUNICIPAL PARKING" sign was made and in-
stalled at Edison Way, several large signs concerning the use of the Hartwell
Avenue Landfill, including "Rules and Regulations" and a large directory type
sign were also made. These wooden signs and many other numerous signs
were all made by the department.
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.

Bedford Streets and at Reed and Bedford Streets. The old traffic lights in
front of the Bedford Street Fire Station and at the intersection of Worthen
PUBLIC SERVICES 231,
Road and Bedford Street were replaced with new lights. These lights are
actuated by the Fire Department when necessary or automatic actuators under
the pavement. The department also maintained the traffic signals on Mass.
Avenue at Waltham Street, 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 many temporary traffic control signs
for use while construction was going on. These included such signs as "Road
Closed," "Road Under Construction," "Detour /' etc. There were 137 other
traffic signs made. These included speed limit signs, parking signs, one -way
signs, stop signs and various others for the control of traffic and protection
of pedestrians.

FROZEN SERVICES: The cost of thawing out frozen services this year was
very small. The cost was $38.79.
METERS: During the year a total of 139 new meters were installed in
new houses. Additional work included removing, repairing and testing 403
meters and replacing them.
SERVICE CALLS: Four hundred six water and sewer estimates were given
and 358 of these were paid to be installed. 1542 service calls were made to
houses and 427 contractors calls.
WATER TREATMENT: During 1964 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.

Sewer Maintenance
Pumping Stations: Daily checking of the Myrtle Street pumping station
was continued during 1964. This includes general maintenance and running
the standby engine generator under full load weekly to insure its being ready
in the event of a power failure. This station handles almost 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 1964 on Worthen
Road. The three other stations are on Byron Avenue, Patterson Road and
Constitution Road.
Stoppages: In 1964 the department made 149 emergency calls covering
such items as plugged services, plugged mains, broken mains, etc.
238 PUBLIC SERVICES
Routine Cleaning of Mains: In 1964 approximately 18,924 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.
Television Inspection and Sealing Leaks in Mains: During rainy weather or
spring thaws a large amount of ground water from various sources overloads
our Myrtle Street pumping station via infiltration into our sewer mains. During
1964 a contract was signed with the Penetryn Company to use a ciosed- circuit
television inspection in combination with another system of sealing leaks from
inside the pipes with the hope of reducing ground water infiltration.
The program was begun in April of 1964 and discontinued in June
because of dry weather. Without rain there was no ground water to infiltrate.
Where leaks were found right at pipe joints, the method of sealing worked
very well. However, no satisfactory method of sealing house connections
that were tapped into the main line sewer was found by the company doing
the work. The results of this work were inconclusive and the program was
suspended indefinitely. Of the $20,000. appropriated, an amount of $5,640.75
1was spent.
Sewer Construction
Three contracts were awarded for the construction of sewer laterals in
1964.
The first was signed on May 4, 1964 with Ricci & De Santis Const. Co.,
Inc. and was in the amount of $148,563.50. At the present time this contract
is approximately 90% completed. It is expected to be completed by the

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

'MOSQUITO CONTROL: Pre- season DDT dusting was not undertaken in
Lexington this year because of reported DDT contamination of fish in several
lakes and rivers in the State. Field work commenced in April with insecticide
applications on the Spring Brook of Aedes mosquito larvae. The malathion and
paris green which were used proved less effective than DDT, particularly when
applied from the air. When adult mosquitoes became abundant in late May
and June, truck fogging and helicopter spraying were done with malathion. In
July the Mansonia mosquito sources became troublesome and were fogged by
truck, helicopter service being unavailable at the time.
Sources of Culex mosquitoes were inspected and sprayed routinely from
late June into September. Catchbasins were sprayed with baytex.
In general, mosquitoes and mosquito complaints were numerous in the
north and west part of Lexington during the first half of the season. In the
second half of the season the trouble was light and scattered.

Special Projects
In 1964 the sum of $2,000.00 was appropriated at Town Meeting for the
development of a recreation area in East Lexington on Town land. This work
was completed at a cost of $1,974.00. The area was cleared of scrub growth
and trees and graded. A layer of loamy peat was spread, graded and seeded
to complete the project.
Another large area of the New Center Playground was also completed in
1964.
Some projects undertaken for other departments include such items as:
picking up and delivering Civil Defense materials to stock public shelter areas;
extending water main at Westview Cemetery; painting parking lots and play-
ground 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; grading and laying curb for Hancock School parking area;
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.

REPORT OF THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
December 31, 1964
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Lexington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
1 submit herewith the report of the Engineering Department for the year
ending December 31, 1964.
In 1964, the work of the Engineering Department was divided into the
following 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
242
PUBLIC SERVICES
1.) Sewer — Field and Office -27.8%
Early in 1964, 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.
In 1964, there was a major change in the installation of sewer services.
Previously the Public Works Department had installed services from the
main to the house. Now the Public Works Department installs services only
from the main to the street line and all work on private property is done by
approved contractors. A great deal of time was spent by this department
in setting up the new system and administrating the transition. While
this system has provided the Public Works Department with much needed
time for other projects, the result has been that the Engineering Depart-
ment has had to spend twice as much time as normally alloted to service
inspection.
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 taking of sewer easements and provided information on
the location of sewers to the public;
2.) Water —Field and Office -8.1 %
In 1964, Town forces installed 2883 feet of water mains. The
Engineering Department did the preliminary survey, made construction
plans and inspected the work during installation.
Each year we also spent much time in making additions and correc-
tions 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.
This year we also spent much time in giving water service estimates in
the same manner as sewer service estimates outlined above;
3.) Street —Field and Office -26.0%
2.94 miles of streets were accepted by the Town Meeting in 1964.
For the convenience of the public we are listing them in this report
as follows:
A.) Betterments Length
Albemarle Avenue 830'
Blake Road 615'
Dunham Road 473'
Nowers Road 625'

Sanderson Road 453'
Suzanne Road 667'
Tufts Road 2473'
Sub Total 12,624 Feet -2.39 Miles
Total 15,515 Feet -2.94 Miles
For all these streets, acceptance plans and taking plans were made
and recorded. The making of these plans involves a great deal of field
work. This year we have a qualified surveyor working in the department
and we have for the f;rst time in many years had complete plans of streets.
We have been able to locate points for bounds on the 1963 streets which
were bounded in 1964, locate the points for the 1964 streets which will
be bounded in 1965, and make accurate preliminary surveys of the 1965
streets;
A representative of the Engineering Department attended all street
hearings to answer questions.
The Engineering Department made studies and plans for and supervised
the contract for the installation of traffic signals for the intersections
of Reed Street, Revere Street and Hill Street, and Worthen Road with
Bedford Street.
The department also determines the location for several new street
lights each year;
4.) Drain —Field and Office.-5.2%
On drain easements, as on all easements, owners were contacted prior
to taking by the Town. In 1964, although most of the work was done
by outside forces, a great deal of time was involved on making easement
plans and talking to owners;

6.) Map Work — Office -8.4%
Half of this time is spent in updating and correcting the Assessors'
Maps.
In addition, all other Town maps are updated each year;
7.) Subdivisions —Field and Office -5.0%
Approximately 2198 feet of subdivision roads were approved and
began construction in 1964. 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 Planning Board as to their acceptability;
8.) General Field Work — Field -7.0%
General field work is covered mostly in the work which we do each
year for other departments and companies.
This year the Engineering Department handled every phase of a
contract with Dennis Driscoll Co., Inc. for the resurfacing of two tennis
courts at Adams School and the reconstruction of two tennis courts in
the Centre recreation area.
We provided plans, grades, and inspection for the construction of the
athletic field at Sutherland Road and the Centre recreation area as well
as the finishing of part of the Westview Cemetery.
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 -8.3%
Many plans came into the department during the year which had to
to indexed and filed for future reference. The public is constantly coming
in 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
Company, and the Mystic Valley Gas Company, etc.
We feel that through the effort of all the members of the Engineering
Department, we are accomplishing more each year. We hope to be able
to continue this favorable trend in the corning years.

REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT
December 31, 1964
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Lexington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
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
The Department purchased no new heavy equipment this year. We did,
however, buy such small equipment as new gang mowers and two power mowers.
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 new water service was put in for water-
ing fields. The two clay courts were resurfaced with a Laykold Surface
course. Also two at the Adams School were resurfaced. Part of Park Drive was
removed and seeded. One Little League field was relocated and has been foamed
and sodded and the fence relocated, repaired and painted. This work all had to
be done due to the building of the new high school. One field was enlarged
alongside the enclosed field fence and is now a regular size soccer field. Inside
the enclosed field we now have an additional soccer field. The usual repair work
was made to the cinder track. One Park employee was assigned to the pool dur-
ing 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 Road, Park
Drive and the enclosed field. One part of this area was completed in 1962 and
another large area in 1963 and 1964. An additional area is still incomplete but
at least three quarters of the area is available for playing on this spring.
On the new area completed, we now have an additional Little League field,
two Hockey fields for girls and we hope to have a hard -ball field and soccer field
completed this year.
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 loamed 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 spots where weeds became prevalent.
Under Article 44 of the Annual Town Meeting of 1964, the amount of
$2,000 was appropriated for the construction of a play area in East Lexington.
246 PUBLIC SERVICES
In conjunction with the Public Works Department, an area of 200' x 200' was
foamed and seeded and should be ready for activity this summer.
Other parks, triangles and baseball areas at the Diamond Junior High, Fiske,
Adams, Franklin, Hastings and Harrington Schools received regular mainten-
ance including fertilizing.
Town Office Building Grounds: The grounds around the Town Offices and
Cary Memorial and School Administration Buildings were maintained by this
department. They were continuously 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, Harrington School, Muzzey Junior High, 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 time 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
Shade Tree Planting: Each year we are planting more public shade trees.
During the spring and summer, 261 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, I believe that 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 Bed-
ford Street. This enables us to have a better selection of trees and reduce the
over -all cost of new trees.
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 al-
lowed to apply pesticides. The last two years, we have cut dawn on our spray-
ing 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
PUBLIC SERVICES 247
"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 Diease,
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 EIm Leaf Beetle. These can
sometimes be found hibernating in attics, if an elm tree is in the neighbor -
hocd. 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 cock-
roaches, flies, etc. We answered many requests to spray poison ivy on public
and private property during the summer. We have been doing herbicide spray-
ing for the control of weeds growing up through sidewalks.
Removing and Pruning Trees: During the year we pruned approximately
117 trees of different varieties excluding elms. Street construction was respon-
sible for the removal of about 45 trees. Most of these were removed by private
contractors. We cut approximately 22 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 pub-
lic and private property. This year we have pruned 123 trees. This is one of
the best ways of controlling the disease because the Dutch EIm Disease Bark
Beetle enters through dead wood. The Shade Tree Division also removed 75
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.
The following is a comparison of the Dutch Elm diseased trees found in
Lexington since 1960:
1960 85
1961 45
1962 27
1963 31
1964 24
248 PUBLIC SERVICES
The trees tested this year included 16 privately owned and 8 public trees
which have been removed. I feel that we are certainly reaching the point of
control of the Dutch EIm Disease. We are doing a great deal more on sanitation
work and the removal of public and private trees has dropped a great deal.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Superintendent
of Public Works and the many other departments that have helped us during
the past year.

Supt. of Parks & Shade Tree Division

REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION
December 31, 1964
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Lexington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The Lexington Conservation Commission submits herewith the annual
report —its first —for the calendar year 1964.
Lexington's Commission was created by the November, 1963 Town Meet-
ing, to promote, develop, and conserve Lexington's natural resources, which
include its wetlands, woodlands, open lands and wildlife. The Commission
operates under statutes of the Commonwealth. One of these statutes enables
PUBLIC SERVICES 251
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.
In late January, the Commission held the first of its thirty-three meetings
of 1964, and set about its first task: to discover the open space needs of
the Town; to index the open spaces and other natural resources available,
and plan and implement the means of using the resources to meet the needs.
The Commission quickly found that the Town's needs were great. Though
Lexington is blessed with a unique rural and historic heritage, most of the
open land is privately held and awaiting development. The Commission imme-
diately enlisted the aid of the United States Soil Conservation Service, to
inventory and analyze the undeveloped land in Town to determine its best
use, a project which will soon be completed. It met with many townspeople
and Town boards, as well as state and federal agencies, to encourage cooperation
and to gain the benefit of the other's ideas, whether on the Great Meadows
or the development of swimming holes, or on the Town's future.
The Commission feels that it is to Lexington's benefit to continue to set
aside open areas to remain in their natural states, which the Commission can
preserve permanently. These open areas may be as simple as a woodlot or
grassland amid a cluster of houses, or a stream marshland, or a belt of wood-
land and field. It was noted that the Planning Board's Phase One Report
recommended that the Town set aside several hundred additional acres for
conservation /recreation open space in the next few years, to serve the needs
of Lexington's anticipated 60% increase in population. The Commission
believes the usefulness of these acres would be multiplied by a plan which
would connect large islands of open space and recreation land in each section
of Town, with one another and with other Town land, by greenbelt pathways.
A basic guideline used by the Commission is that it should ask the Town
to acquire that and which is more valuable to the Town cr neighborhood if
left in its natural state, and thus to insure that it is preserved for public
Ibencfit.
The Commission may, for the Town, act in several ways to preserve land.
It may purchase (with state and /or federal aid) land from willing owners, it
may accept charitable gifts of land (tax deductible), and both givers and
sellers may be assured that the land will not be diverted to other purposes.
Although the Town, for public purposes, has the power of eminent domain,
the Commission does not. The Commission need not acquire outright title
to the land, but can simply negotiate a pathway or a conservation easement
to preserve the land's character, or can negotiate a scenic easement along
a roadside; these easements leave the and in private ownership, though possibly
with reduced taxes. The Commission can also, as it did this year, turn to
conservation education, cooperating with youth groups and schools.
252 PUBLIC SERVICES
Meetings of the Commission were attended by representatives of the
Land Use Committee of the League of Women Voters (which also kindly pro-
vided the services of several women as volunteer secretaries), the Lexington
Field and Garden Club, the Audubon Society, the Girl Scouts (who created
and installed an informative display concerning the Natural 'Resources In-
ventory), Boy Scouts (who planted 500 pine seedlings), and several neighborhood
groups. Mr. Bruce Gullion, director of the Division of Conservation Services
in the Mass. Department of Natural Resources, was a guest early in the year
(he later addressed Lexington's League of Women Voters). Another guest
was the chairman of Acton's Commission, 'Mr, R. Ellis.
The Commission met jointly with the following Town boards: Selectmen,
Planning Board, Capital Expenditures, Assessors, Appropriations, and Recreation.
Outside of Lexington, meetings were held with the Middlesex Conservation
District and the Minute Man National Historical Park Advisory Commission.
Members of the Commission attended four meetings of the Massachusetts
Association of Conservation Commissions. One member, 'Mr. 'Ells, who is a
specialist on the laws relating to open space, was a panel member at an
Association meeting.
Members of the Commission also discussed conservation matters with
several neighborhood groups at neighborhood meetings, and also with the
chairman of the TMMA Land Use Committee,
The Planning Board made some recommendations concerning land
acquisition.
The Board of Appeals was asked that, if possible, action be taken to preserve
a dense pine grove adjacent to a proposed nursing home.
A speaker was provided, at the request of each of the following organizations,
to discuss local conservation matters: Field and Garden Club, 'Rotary Club,
and The Grange.
During the year, the Selectmen were asked to place articles on warrants
for Town Meetings for the following purposes:
a. Create a Conservation Fund, per state law, and appropriate money
to it;
b. Authorize the Commission to deal, on behalf of the Town, with the
agencies of the U.S. Government which provide financial aid for the
purchase of land;
c. Employ the U.S. Soil Conservation Service to conduct a Soils and
Water Survey as the basis for a Natural Resources Inventory.
d. Purchase 5 acres of and adjacent to Willard's Woods.
e. Purchase the 78 acre "Swenson Farm" off Marrett Road,
f. Authorize a final definitive study of the use of the "Old Res" on
Marrett Road, as a swimming facility (recommended jointly with the
Recreation Committee).
PUBLIC SERVICES 253
In 1964, major federal and state legislative actions occurred which can
have a marked effect on Lexington's open space program. The federal land
and water conservation act, and the State act removing the ceiling on State
aid, were passed and signed. It appeared that increasing effectiveness was
being achieved in the attempts, through legislative action at all levels of
government, to preserve and conserve natural resources, including open space.
Such action has resulted from rising pressure brought upon legislators by people
with an awakened sensitivity to the ugliness which often masquerades as
progress, and to the necessity for conservation action.
The Commission has noted that extensive coveraoe was given by the mass
news media to conservation problems similar to those of Lexington. Radio,
television, big city newspapers, and national magazines, in addition to local
news media, participated. The mail included such clippings from newspapers,
sent by observant and interested citizens; the Commission is grateful for such
help. Several articles in the real estate sections of the Boston and New York
newspapers emphasized the enlightened developer's recognition that per-
manently preserved open space within or next to a development increases the
demand for units within that development.
The Commission welcomes all citizens at its meetings, and invites sug-
gestions from landowners, neighborhood groups, and all others interested.

CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
December 31, 1964
To the Citizens of Lexington:
255
The Board of Trustees of Cary Memorial Library consists of "the Selectmen
and the School Committee of the Town for the time being and the settled
ministers of the place", in accordance with the wishes of Maria Cary. This
group elects from its membership a President, a Vice - President and three other
Trustees to serve as an Executive Committee. The by -laws specify that these
five shall include a representative of the clergy, the Selectmen and the School
Committee.
By its very nature, then, the goveming board of the Library, and particularly
the Executive Committee, is subject to frequent turnover in its membership.
This year, the Board of Trustees lost Alan G. Adams of the Board of Select-
men, who was replaced by George C. Sheldon; and Merrill F. Norlin and
Sanborn C. Brown of the School Committee, who were replaced by James F.
Fenske and Austin W. Fisher, Jr.
The Board of Trustees meets twice a year: in March, when the newly elected
members are welcomed, and in October, when officers and Executive Committee
are elected at the Annual Meeting. Elected for 1964 -65 were Elizabeth H.
Clarke, President; Otis S. Brown, Jr., Vice- President; and Rev. Harold T.
Handley, The Rt. Rev. Msgr. George W. Casey and Rabbi Haskell Bernet. Only
Msgr. Casey and Rev. Handley have had substantial experience as Trustees of
the Library.
To make for greater continuity, the by -laws wisely provide for an Advisory
Committee of citizens selected for "their demonstrated interest in the problems,
goals and aspirations of the Library." In this group there is less turnover. Their
accumulated knowledge of Library affairs and continuing devotion make them
very valuable as advisors to the Board, and to the Executive Committee at its
monthly meetings.
The Trustees express their appreciation of Karl Nyren, Director of the
Library, not only for his efficient direction of a complex operation, but partic-
ularly for his leadership. With the single purpose of serving the cultural needs
of the community, he carries on continual assessment of the strengths and
weaknesses of the Library, plans for future needs, and sets and maintains high
standards to be met in fulfilling those needs. He and his fine professional staff
are to be congratulated for their constant attention to ways of improving the
Library's services to the Town.
256 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY
The Trustees acknowledge with gratitude the receipt of several unusual
gifts. A contribution of money from the Women's Republican Club of Lexington
made possible the purchase of four important volumes pertaining to history and
government. An anonymous donor presented the entire John Harvard Library,
including about fifty titles. The Kennecott Copper Company has donated'
fourteen years' run of Chemical Abstracts, which will greatly enhance the
science collection.
As a modest cultural center, the Library has continued to display works of
art, articles of historical interest, and works by Lexington residents. For their
cooperation and generosity in connection with these special exhibits and gifts,
the Trustees extend thanks to the following individuals and institutions: Lex-
ington Historical Society, Merrimac Valley Museum, Peabody Museum of Salem,
Ward -Nasse Gallery, Nexus Gallery, Lexington Art Teachers, Shore Galleries,
Rockport Art Association, Doll and Richards, Guild of Boston Artists, Mr. Austin
Fisher, Mr. Lloyd Rathbun, Mr. John Olson, Mr. Wayne R. Maguire, Mr. Kelsey
Reed, the Friends of Herman Yagoda, Miss Marie Turner and Miss Grace Turner,
Mrs. Allan MacFadden, Mr. Bernard Pucker, Mr. George Dergalis, Mr. Philip
Parsons, and Mrs. Karl Oberteuffer.
The Trustees also wish to extend thanks to the many citizens of Lexington
who have responded generously to the Director's requests for advice on many
subjects for which their experience qualifies them. These include the selection
of books, building maintenance, landscape architecture, insurance and legal
questions, and many other areas in which expert counsel was freely given.
For the third year, members of the Morning Study Group of the Lexington
Field and Garden Club made and contributed Christmas decorations. Two very
large wreaths for the lobby and mantel arrangements in the Recent Books Room
and the Periodical Room provided an aesthetic atmosphere which was deeply
appreciated during the holiday season. Lexington citizens continue to use their
public library facilities in ever larger numbers, and activity in all areas continues
to rise. The special business collection is in constant use, demand has brought
about the establishment of a special collection in the field of science reference,
under a specialist in that field; recordings are borrowed both more often and in
greater quantity, and a collection of scores is being added to the growing hold-
ings in that department; films enjoy wide circulation among individuals and
groups; periodicals are in great demand, necessitating the purchase of second
copies of the most popular ones.
General circulation shows two interesting trends: juvenile borrowing has
fallen off, while adult use has risen; and demand among adults is for less fiction
and more non - fiction works. Accordingly, emphasis in book acquisition is being
placed on the two areas of continuing growth: pre - school books and adult
non - fiction. At the East Lexington Branch, where the trends are most notice-
able, Emerson Hall is now being used for special programs: play- writing and
play- reading for adults, and pre - school story hours.
CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY 257
Circulation policies were revised and published this year, in an effort to
improve service and make holdings more readily available for circulation.
Greater activity in the area of inter - library loans has been made possible by
the decision to participate in the Eastern Regional Library System. Under the
service agreement, Lexington can turn to the collections in the Boston Public
Library, as the Regional Library Center, and other participants can turn to the
special collections in Lexington.
The Advisory Committee has undertaken two studies on behalf of the
Trustees, both looking ahead to the future. One concerns long -range plans for
building needs, to house the enlarging collections and expanding services. The
other, to be completed in the spring of 1965, concerns development of a more
realistic salary structure, to improve the Library's competitive position with
respect to professional employees in the top administrative positions.
The Trustees look ahead to continued strong support from the people of
Lexington, whom they serve.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
December 31, 1964
To the Trustees of the Cary Memorial Library:
In the year just concluded, the Library has shown a healthy growth and has
continued to respond to the changing and growing needs of the Town.
Reading patterns show an ever- stronger trend toward adult use of all library
facilities and increasing demand for serious non - fiction and reference materials.
The library staff has been brought nearly back to strength by the addition
of three reference librarians, making it possible to fulfill the many functions
of this department.
Circulation has increased steadily throughout the year and can be expected
to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. A strong increase in the number
of books reserved and requested on interlibrary loan has added considerably to
the work of the circulation department.
CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY 259
The East Lexington Branch Library has been covered with aluminum siding,
and all exterior trim has been painted. Repainting of the interior has brought
the building back much of its original attractiveness.
Recataloging of the collection has proceeded satisfactorily through the year,
with a good possibility that the majority of the older books will be recataloged
and reshelved by the end of the year, and the annual State Aid grant can be
applied in 1966 to some other pressing project.
One such project is the expansion of our periodical resources by means of
microfilm. At present, only a fraction of the large demand for back issues of
periodicals can be met.
The Reference Department has strengthened its resources in Science and
Technology in this last year, sizable help coming in the form of gifts.
The Advisory Committee of the Board of Trustees has undertaken a salary
study, with its recommendations to form the basis of any future changes in
administrative and professional salaries.
Expansion of facilities through a building addition has been discussed as a
real possibility in five to ten years' time.
The Director wishes to express his appreciation of the continuous efforts
made by the Board of Trustees, the Advisory Committee and the entire staff in
bringing the library through another successful year.

HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES
REPORT OF THE TOWN CELEBRATIONS COMMITTEE
December 31, 1964
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Lexington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
265
During 1964 the Committee met twenty -five times to plan and coordinate
celebrations of four holidays. Those holidays were the usual Patriots' Day and
U. N. Day and, for the first time, Memorial Day and Veterans' Day. Repre-
sentatives of the town's civic and military organizations met with us eleven times.
Their continued help and cooperation is not only sincerely appreciated by this
Committee, but vital to the success of our activities and the town's celebrations.
Patriots' Day
April 19th came on Sunday in 1964, so we held our major celebrations on
Monday, April 20th. A search of reports of earlier similar instances and the
opinions of Lexington's clergymen influenced our decision. So that the day it-
self would not go unnoticed, we arranged a Sunday aftemoon program for the
Battle Green. Wakefield's Linn Village Drum Band gave two performances and
the elementary school children accompanied by the Senior High School Band
again sang patriotic songs.
Sunday's warm sunny weather deserted us on Monday. After the 6:30 a.m.
ringing of church bells and the bell in "The Old Belfry", the sunrise parade
stepped off at 7:00 a.m. in cold raw air. We were quite proud of our Corre-
sponding Secretary, Mrs. Eleanor Litchfield, who received the Lions Club White
Tricorn Hat Award at the Battle Green ceremonies. Immediately following the
parade the Rotary Club sponsored a pancake breakfast after the Battle Green
ceremonies in the Great Hall of the Church of Our Redeemer on Meriam Street.
The Lions Club continued their road race activities. Memorial ceremonies by
the DAR and Minute Men completed the morning program which was dampened
at times by light snow flurries. Her Majesty's Consul General, H.N.O. Curie,
again visited us to remember the British soldiers with the Minute Men and to
ride in and watch our afternoon parade.
Kingston L. Howard, a past chairman of this Committee, led the afternoon
parade as its Chief Marshal. The "Spirit of 1776" represented by Douglas
Maxner, drummer; William Mahoney, fifer; and Stephen Shaw, drummer; an-
nounced the coming of the parade along its customary route from East Lexing-
ton past the Battle Green reviewing stand to Worthen Road. A motorcade car-
266 HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES
rying the town's distinguished guests for the day preceded the parade to the
reviewing stand. The number of floats in the parade and the number of res-
idences participating in the Jaycee's House decorating contest continue to in-
dicate increasing interest in both aspects of our program.
Memorial Day
This Committee assisted the military groups of Lexington with their plan-
ning and execution of the town's Memorial Day celebration. Members of the
American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Marine Corps League, and the
Lexington Minute Men visited Westview Cemetery, by bus, for brief memorial
services led by Fr. Perry of Sacred Heart Church. After their return to Munroe
School, they joined the High School Band and other units for a parade up Mass-
achusetts Avenue. The parade made stops at :Munroe Cemetery, Cary Hall,
Buckman Tavern, The Old Burying Ground, and the Battle Green. The Rev.
Harold Handley conducted memorial services for the war dead, buried or com-
memorated at the several locations, and Girl Scouts placed memorial wreaths.
John Bonesara, Commander of Post 38, American Legion, served as Chief Mar-
shal of the parade and Brigadier General William F. McGonagle was the main
speaker at the Battle Green. Mr. George Foster conducted SAR memorial serv-
ices at Munroe Cemetery.
United Nations Day
Because October 24th carne on Saturday this year, our celebration covered
two days. On Friday, the students of Harrington School presented a U.N. pro-
gram for their parents and other guests. Following their well done presenta-
tions of songs, skits, and choral recitations appropriate to the day, they adjourned
to the front lawn of the school. Jeffrey Oppenheim and Coralee VanEgmond
president and secretary, respectively, of the student body planted a blue spruce
U.N. tree provided by the Lexington Jaycees.
The U.N. flag raising ceremony, usually held at 7:00 a.m, on U.N. Day took
place at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 24th. The later hour was picked to
provide additional opportunity for the residents of the town to take part. The
U.N. flag is raised with our national colors on the Battle Green pole and U.N.
flags alternate with American flags around the Battle Green.
During the week preceding U.N. Day, retail merchants displayed U.N. post-
ers.
Veterans' Day
The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Marine Corps League, and
the Lexington Minute Men were joined by the High School Band, an Air Force
marching unit from Hanscom Field, and a battery from the Third Rocket Bat-
talion, 101st Artillery, MNG, for a parade that stepped off at 10:00 a.m. from
Munroe School. Edward Fitzgerald, Commander, Post 3007, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, was Chief Marshal cf the parade. Major General John W. McNeill, Com-
HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES 267
mander Electronics Systems Division, Air Force Systems Command gave the
principal address on the Battle Green following the parade.
General
Although the Committee assisted the towns' military groups, those groups
planned and arranged for the celebrations of both Memorial Day and Veterans
Day. We have enjoyed their cooperation and look forward to working with
them for Memorial Day and Veterans Day in the coming years.

HANSCOM -1964
Nineteen - hundred- sixty -four at Hanscom was a year of progress and
achievement in support of the Nation's command, control, and communications
requ i rements.
Among the milestones of 1964 were . . .
. . the addition of a revolutionary phased -array radar to the expanding
list of Spacetrack sensors.
. . . achievement of operational status of an Air Weapons Control System
for NATO forces in Europe.
. extension of Department of Defense world -wide communications.
. excavation of tons of granite from inside Cheyenne Mountain, Colo-
rado, in preparation for housing the hardened NORAD Combat
Operations Center.
. the dedication of the world's most sensitive radar -radio telescope
on Haystack Hill in neighboring Tyngsboro.
. the development of an electronic burglar alarm system for protection
of ballistic missile sites in the United States.
. a Nuclear Detonation Detection and Reporting System which utilizes
electromagnetic, optical and seismic sensors.
. in the personnel field, on 15 July Major General John W. O'Neill
succeeded Major General Charles H. Terhune, Jr., as Commander
of ESD.
An indication of the size and complexity of ESD's responsibilities is that the
Deputy for Communications is monitoring the development, acquisition and
installation of over 450 separate communications sites. These sites, located in
Europe, the Mediterranean area, the Arctic, and the tropics, emphasize the
global nature of our responsibilities.
The Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, responsible for conducting
basic and applied research in the physical and environmental sciences made
significant progress in several areas of basic research . . . .
294 HANSCOM — 1964
. the Arecigo (Puerto Rico) radar -radio telescope went on the air in
March 1964. The telescope is the largest and most powerful of its
kind in the world.
. . as primary Air Force agency for participation in the cooperative
International Year of the Quiet Sun (1964 -65), extensive studies of
the effects of the sun on the earth's environment will be conducted.
. • . a new major program of space forecasting was begun; the program
goal is the prediction of conditions likely to be encountered in space,
. . and in the personnel area, Colonel Leo A. Kiley succeeded Brigadier
General B. G. Holzman as Commander of AFCRL on October 27.
The MIT Lincoln Laboratories, the 94th (Minute man) Troop Carrier Wing,
The MITRE Corporation, System Development Corporation and over thirty other
organizations located on or adjacent to Hanscom likewise had important defense
jobs to do during 1964.
More than 8,000 military and civilian personnel, directly or indirectly,
contributed to the successful accomplishment of these tasks. The Hanscom
Complex budget, largest in history, was nearly $600 million, and the value of
fixed capital assets rose to more than $72 million.
The significant achievements of the Hanscom Complex in 1964 added
immeasurably to the defense posture of the free world.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
For the Year 1964
297
To the Citizens of Lexington:
The year 1964 opened on a sad note, with the untimely death of Merrill F.
Norlin, who had resigned from the school committee in December, 1963 for
reasons of ill health. Chairman Brown read into the minutes of January 6, 1964,
the following statement:
The most important single decision which any school corn -
mittee makes is the choice of a superintendent of schools. This
is a long and tiring procedure, even when one is full of health
and vigor. Every member of this school committee will always
remember Merrill Norlin's devotion to the welfare of education
in Lexington as, with failing health, he arranged his entire
schedule so that he could attend every interview and be present
at every decision. He delayed going back to the hospital for his
final operation so that he could take part in the unanimous vote
to call Dr. Fobert to Lexington. It is seldom that we have the
privilege of witnessing such true devotion to one's ideals and it
will remain an inspiration to all of us who strive to work for the
public good.
Dr. Sanborn C. Brown left the committee as of the first meeting in March.
He served for six years, the last three as chairman. The committee presented
him with a model set of balance scales, symbolizing his strict adherence to
justice in the conduct of meetings. The audience joined the applause in ap-
preciation of Dr. Brown's service to Lexington.
Dr. Rudolph J. Fobert took office on the first of February. His fine per-
formance during the first year as our educational leader promises ever higher
standards and greater achievement in Lexington's public schools.
Nineteeen sixty -four has been a year of thoughtful analysis, of re- stating
convictions of the committee and putting them into writing. Policies and pro-
cedures have been subjected to careful scrutiny and, under Dr. Fobert's leader-
ship, have been revised, renovated, or reaffirmed.
"Rules and Regulations of the Lexington School Committee" is being care-
fully revised. This document will set forth the operating procedures of the
committee and delineate the roles of all people associated with the schools.
The "Personnel Policies Guide," too, has undergone changes, particularly
with respect to administrative personnel, and further changes are in progress.
The guide contains salary schedules and sets forth all personnel policies gov-
erning the school staff.
298 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
Recruiting procedures have been published in handbook form. An instru-
ment for evaluating teacher performance has been devised and put into oper-
ation. Summer curriculum workshops, sabbatical leaves, and participation in
professional organizations have been encouraged as stimulants to professional
advancement and development of professional morale among our staff.
As a further indication of the value placed upon superior teachers, and to
meet competition generated by the new state minimum salary of $5,000, the
teachers salary guide has been adjusted upward. The new schedule was worked
out by a joint salary committee made up of the superintendent, three school
committee members, three teachers, and one member of the Town Appropria-
tions Committee. We are proud of this fine cooperative effort.
The educational specifications for the next two elementary schools record
the committee's convictions about school buildings and their relationship to
the programs to be carried out in them. They provide for housing about 600
pupils each, in classroom areas of several sizes, to make possible a variety
of groupings. They require a large central area to house a library resource
center, workrooms for teachers, and study- cafeteria, all in close proximity for
optimum use. They provide for future kindergartens, and rooms for two special
classes, so that these children can go to school in their own districts. Such
specifications reflect school committee policies regarding both facilities and
educational programs.
The decision to install our own electronic data processing center has far -
reaching implications for improving education in Lexington. It will perform
routine tasks such as scheduling and record - keeping more quickly and effi-
ciently, releasing teachers and principals from tedious, non - educational chores.
More information about individual pupils will be available for use in guidance
counseling and administrative decisions. System -wide surveys on all sorts of
subjects will be possible, opening up educational opportunities in many areas.
It will bring about better communications between school and citizens through
more frequent and more complete reporting. The center will also be available
as a vocational training facility for students at the high school.
Underlying these policy considerations is the fundamental GOAL of the
Lexington school system: the education of our children as future citizens, able
to think for themselves, sift fact from fiction, form opinions, make decisions
based upon reason, and to do these things with confidence and a strong sense
of responsibility toward society.
At the same time, all pupils must share a common body of basic knowledge
— reading, writing and arithmetic —in order that they may communicate with
one another as they work together in a democratic society.
To seek out and develop the potential of every child suggests a strong ele-
ment of flexibility. To provide continuity and comparable education in all our
schools requires stabillity. In all its deliberations and decisions, the school com-
mittee strives to keep these two elements in balance.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 299
Stablilizing forces which have received special attention this year include
curriculum guides, report card procedures, administrative organization, school -
community relations, and school libraries.
Goals for each major subject area — language arts, social studies, math, and
science —are now governed by curriculum guides. Each guide sets forth the
scope and sequence of coverage from the first grade through the twelfth grade,
goals to be achieved at each level, and suggestions for units to achieve the goals.
Developed in workshops by members of Lexington's own teaching staff, these
guides will be used throughout the system.
Reporting procedure has been standardized in the elementary schools to
the extent that the progress of every child will be discussed twice each year
in a parent- teacher conference.
Toward establishing more direct lines of communication between teachers
and superintendent, and between schools, the central office staff has been re-
organized on a more rational basis. New job descriptions for the following posi-
tions have been written and incorporated into a revised !Personnel Policies Guide:
Assistant Superintendent (Elementary)
Assistant Superintendent (Secondary)
Administrative Assistant (Business Services)
Director of Pupil Personnel Services
Director of School Information
Coordinator of Instructional Materials
By establishing the full -time position of Director of School Information,
the committee has recognized the great importance of continuous, frequent,
and full communication between the school department and the citizens. The
new director will provide information and foster cooperative activities through
all media and techniques at his disposal, in order to promote full understand-
ing of the programs, progress and needs of the school system, and to promote
mutual responsibility between school department and citizens for the achieve-
ment of educational goals. A fine statement of these purposes is contained in
a document entitled "CREDO - Lexington School Information Program."
By changing the position of Coordinator of Libraries to Coordinator of
Instructional Materials, the committee recognizes the concept of the resource
center in each school. Not only a collection of books, this center encompasses
all instructional materials, such as visual and au'al aids, as well as spaces for
their preparation and use by staff and pupils.
Space limitations prevent the development of such a resource center in
many of our older school buildings, Every school does have, however, a library,
however small, and every child is being trained in the use of the library as a
tool in the learning process.
The committee believes that the re- alignment of responsibilities among the
central office staff will bring about more unity and greater stability in the
system.
300 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
Flexibility is achieved through granting maximum independence to the
professional staff. While working together as a "cabinet" and coordinating
their activities, all principals are largely autonomous in their own buildings.
They have considerable freedom to group and re -group children and teachers,
and to arrange schedules, in whatever ways they think will best serve the edu-
cational needs of the children in their charge. Teachers, too, are encouraged
to be creative in their choice of materials and teaching techniques, and to work
together in developing new ideas. How effectively this independence is used
plays an important role in the evaluation of both teachers and administrators.
Neither flexibility nor stability is served by unequal physical facilities.
Flexibility is impossible when too many children are crowded into a building
and there are no spaces for small or large group activities. Stability through-
out the system is impossible when school buildings do not offer similar facilities.
In order to hasten the day when our educational programs can be carried
out uniformly throughout Lexington, the school committee has stepped up its
proposed building schedule. After re- examination of enrollment projections and
population distribution, we have requested additional school sites where they
will be needed, and we have approved the following school building completion
dates:
1966 — Middleby school (23 rooms)
1967 — Moreland school (23 rooms)
1969 — third elementary school
1971 — Junior High School (1200 pupils)
Execution of this plan will enable us to keep pace with space needs, rather
than continually running behind them, and bring us closer to the realization of
true equality of educational opportunity in Lexington.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Introduction
301
The following information on the status of the Lexington Public Schools
for 1964 is respectfully submitted as my first annual report.
As noted in the preceding pages of the school committee report, this has
been a year of critical appraisal of the procedures and programs of the Lexing-
ton Public Schools. In several instances this appraisal has led to a re- definition
or revision of existing programs; in other instances to a development of new
programs and procedures.
One of my primary objectives was to identify the shape and character of
the diffusive enterprise known as the Lexington Pubilc Schools. Through a
sampling of the experiences which spin off the day - to-day operation of the en-
terprise, it was possible to develop a preliminary description of the nature and
climate of our schools.
My assessment of this climate is that it is both generative and adaptive.
Its generative quality is a result of the thrust of classroom teachers searching
for more effective ways of teaching children. Its adaptive quailty is a result
of a general staff attitude that problems which prevent optimum learning by
each child can be identified and solved and that the shape of the enterprise
will be adapted accordingly.
It is important that we encourage this climate throughout Lexington for it
produces a greater output of staff effort than any known administrative device.
However, it is equally important that we channel this energy and output toward
common goals for all schools.
The fusion of our schools into one system must be accomplished without
depriving the individual principal and staff of the freedom to operate in a
semi - autonomous fashion. We must strive to achieve a balance between (1)
permitting each school to operate with its own organizational pattern, thus en-
couraging each principal and staff member to explore more effective ways of
teaching children (generative quality), and (2) providing a structure for all
schools within which each child in Lexington is assured of a continuous vertical
educational program, logically developed for easy articulation from one level
to the next. This structure would also permit all schools to move in concert
toward the common goals of the Lexington Schools.
We have made some strides toward providing this structure by defining
and expanding our recruitment and selection program, organizing a pre - school
orientation program for new teachers, establishing a systemwide testing pro-
gram, providing a clearing house for research projects and outlining a con-
ceptual framework for curriculum development. Other related projects are in
committee and should be completed during the next year.
This annual report is designed to provide citizens with a description of

Working Together Toward Common Goals
One of the first tasks of a new superintendent is to develop with the school
committee and staff a set of policies which identify and define the responsibil-
ities and functions of the school committee, the superintendent and other mem-
bers of the professional staff.
No set of policies can anticipate all of the situations which develop when
human beings interact while performing their duties. However, policies do
serve as guidelines for individuals within the enterprise and outline in broad
terms who shall be responsible for the various functions required to achieve
the goals adopted by the school committee.
It is imperative that policies are not regarded as static but are constantly
expanded and adapted to meet new problems which are generated by a grow-
ing and progressive school system.
To provide a conceptual description of the above the school committee
adopted the following chart which outlines the various responsibilities. The
horizontal line through the center delineates the areas of responsibilities for
the school committee and professional staff.
The school committee, as the policy- making agency, is responsible for adopt-
ing the goals and policies and requiring periodic progress reports to determine
the extent to which the goals are being achieved. The superintendent and staff
are responsible for designing and implementing the programs which will achieve
these goals.
When product reports reveal that goals have not been achieved, the goals,
policies, regulations, programs, etc, must be critically re- examined and adapted
accordingly.

School Committee Rules and Regulations adopted in 1964 describe in more
specific terms the functions of the school committee and the superintendent.
"Chapter I, Section 1I1 — School Committee Action
A. Functions of the Committee — The school committee shall
adopt all policies and make all policy decisions; it shall not
perform administrative functions. Every member shall sup-
port the policies and actions which have been voted by the
school committee.
B. Unit Action — All action shall be by the committee as a unit.
Legally, the committee has no existence outside of its meet-
ing. It exists only as a unit, and cannot evade its responsi-
bilities or give away its powers. Likewise, the individual
member has authority only when the committee is in ses-
sion, and never as an individual outside of school committee
meetings."
"Chapter 1'I, Section 1 — General Duties — The superintendent
is by law the executive officer of the school committee.
He shall administer the schools in conformity with school
304 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
committee policies and state law, He shall provide educa-
tional leadership to the professional staff and the community.
He shall have final administrative authority and be re-
sponsible to the school committee for all matters."
In the work sessions following school committee meetings the superin-
tendent and the school committee have completed a statement of responsibil-
ities for the principal and plan to develop statements for the teachers and pupils
before the end of this school year
Providing a Framework for Curriculum Development
Curriculum development has been one of the most significant activities in
the Lexington schools. It provides a vehicle for moving toward our goal of
stability. Stability is, in part, achieved through a curriculum desgin which out-
lines the objectives for each subject area from grades one through twelve for
all Lexington schools.
It is also achieved through a definition of the entire process from the
development stage to the final payoff in teacher and pupil growth. The Con-
ceptual Framework for Curriculum Development described in the chart (p. 305)
includes all of the stages related to this area. It also contains the philosophy
and machinery for development and adoption of curriculum in Lexington.
The definition of the philosophy, objectives, procedures and responsibilities
permits each staff member to relate his individual efforts to the general opera-
tion of the entire school system, and to identify with a larger enterprise and
purpose than his classroom group. It also assists the administration in identify-
ing those activities which are used to implement this program. A critical eval-
uation of the various parts of this program should lead to a fuller utilization
of all of the present vehicles and activities and also generate ideas about new
media and activities which are not included in the present program.
Providing School Facilities
In November, 1964, the town voted funds for the construction of two
additional elementary schools to be completed in 1966 and 1967. This vote
culminated many hours of discussion and study by the members of the Stand-
ing School Building Committee, Appropriations Committee, Capital Expenditures
Committee, School Sites Committee, the Board of Selectmen, and the School
Committee.
The joint meetings of these committees provided a forum for a comprehen-
sive discussion of all facets of the proposed school buildings. This intercom-
munication and cooperative study helped each committee to better understand
the rationale for decisions reached by the committees. If we are to meet the
need for future school facilities, additional joint meetings must be arranged.

When the second elementary school is available in September, 1967, all of
the elementary schools will then be at capacity. In September, 1968, the ele-
mentary schools will again be over - capacity and an additional elementary school
is planned for 1969.
Unfortunately, in the past this pattern of scheduling has forced the school
committee to subject children to a variety of emergency conditions, including
converting gymnasiums into classrooms, dislocating many childfren from their
regular school pattern and using substandard spaces. This position of opening
a new building only when it can be filled to capacity has been labeled "moving
from crisis to crisis."
During rapid periods of enrollment increases the difference between this
position and that of allowing enough rooms for pupils to grow into a district
over a period of several years is not one of total expenditure but the rate of
expenditure. Although we appreciate the Appropriations and Capital Expend-
itures Committees problems of balancing needs and scheduling town building
capital expenditures over a period of years, a shift to the latter position is
needed to maintain a well organized and developed school program.
In addition to an elementary school in 1969 there is a need for a junior
high school in 1970 or 1971. At present this school is scheduled for 1971.
However, this past year enrollment increases for grades seven through nine
were greater than the total increase of the previous three -year period. If sim-
ilar increases are experienced in 1965, adjustments must be made in the
scheduling of this school. Your superintendent has recommended that the
capacity of the proposed junior high school be set at 1200 pupils. Although in
1971 this will result in an excess of approximately 400 pupil spaces in grades
seven through nine, and 600 pupil spaces in grades ten through twelve, by
1974 these excesses will be reduced to 200 and 350. Renovations to improve
facilities at Muzzey will probably reduce the capacity of this school and fur-
ther reduce the 200 pupil excess space for grades seven through nine. Since
each unit at the high school accommodates approximately 300 students, it will
not be possible in 1975 or 1976 to house ninth graders at this building unless
some ninth grade pupils are housed with tenth graders within one of the units.
If building costs continue to increase, it would be prudent for the town to build
a junior high school for 1200 pupils.
It is imperative that enrollment projections be revised annually to reflect
changes in the growth pattern and that the building schedule be adapted to
meet revised needs for school facilities.
To assist the School Sites Committee in identifying the number of sites
which will be needed in the future, estimates of the total possible school en-
rollment were computed. These estimates were based on the total number of
dwelling units possible at land saturation.
These estimates indicate that from 1967 to saturation there is a possible
additional need for eight elementary schools and two junior high schools.
CHARITIES AND BENEFITS 307
In forecasting the need for additional school sites, it is wise to use maximum
possible enrollment at saturation, A building program proceeds according to
the need for schools indicated by the five -year enrollment projection rather
than the number of sites available. As Lexington's population increases and and
availability decreases, it will become increasingly difficult to secure additional
school sites.
It is important that we begin now to acquire enough sites for the school
buildings which will be needed at land saturation.
308 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
INFORMING THE CITIZENS
In recent years school committees and superintendents have become in-
creasingly aware of their responsibility to continually provide citizens with
information about the goals, programs and needs of their schools. Each citizen
has a very important stake in the public schools within his community. No
other institution is offered the most receptive learning years of a child's life.
Superintendents have an obligation to help the public understand how these
precious years are being used. The adoption of a formal school information
program with a full -time director will result in an increase in the flow of school
information to the public.
The following statements from the credo of this program describe our com-
mitment to this important activity:
WE BELIEVE THAT:
1. One of the major purposes of the school information program is to
raise the level of public understanding about the schools. Public
education is a creature of the public and requires public support to
improve its educational offerings.
2. Laymen have the capacity to understand educational problems and
have the good judgment, when fully informed, to come to conclu-
sions which will be in the best interests of the children.
3. Information about the schools should help the public to identify and
understand efforts to solve these problems.
4. The welfare of children should be the focus of the program. A good
program is concerned with the optimum development of all children
in all schools.
We shall use every available media and technique to keep citizens informed
about their schools.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 309
SECURING THE BEST POSSIBLE STAFF
"In 9096 of the homes of America the teacher is the school."
The above, taken from a recent publication, indicates the importance of
teachers in the public schools of America.
One authority has stated that "there is no shortage of teachers," but that
"there is a shortage of competent teachers."
Since the selection of personnel is the most important single function of
educational administration, Lexington gives this far more important consideration
than typically obtained in most school systems. During the past year Lexington's
recruitment and selection procedures have been defined, revised and expanded.
A recently published booklet describes these procedures, and contains samples
of the various forms used in the process. The mechanics and materials are
impressive, but even more important is the quality of professional judgment
which is applied at each level of the selection process.
Many people play an important role in ensuring that Lexington finds,
secures, and retains the most competent teachers available. Once a vacancy has
been identified, information is now circulated to nearly 300 colleges and
placement offices throughout the United States, whereas up to a year ago
Lexington sent information to approximately 50 placement offices. In order to
obtain wider geographic coverage, considerable time and effort has been spent
to secure information about outstanding colleges, universities and placement
offices throughout the country. They receive, periodically, information about
our needs along with other pertinent information about the Lexington Public
Schools. This includes brochures, salary guides, and notices of vacancies or
special needs.
The following "Recruitment and Selection Procedures," indicate the steps
in the process of finding the best teachers for Lexington students. The
carefully planned process and the opportunity for many people to be involved
assures, as far as possible, that the final decision is a reliable one.

From the time a person asks for an application blank until he is elected and
placed in a school many people have had a hand in insuring that courtesy is
extended, care is taken, and each applicant treated as a potential teacher for
Lexington.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 311
Once an application has been received, references are requested if, in the
opinion of the administration, the applicant warrants this kind of attention. If
not, a carefully written form letter is sent indicating that this person's
application will be kept on file for later reference.
Because of the excellent reputation of the Lexington Schools, well over 2100
applications were processed• last year in the search for 104 teacher replacements
and additions. With this ratio of over 20 applicants for each position available,
there is every hope that Lexington will get its share of those outstanding
teachers coming out of the various teacher training and liberal arts colleges
throughout our country.
While many unsolicited applications are received, past experience shows that
members of Lexington's professional staff have been highly successful in
attracting the kinds of teachers desired, During the past year a teacher from
California and one from Germany were secured because two former Lexington
teachers were teaching in those areas and recommended Lexington. This
illustration, which could be multiplied many times over, shows the importance
of securing experienced personnel, and how important it is that, even after
teachers leave, they remember Lexington with a very warm feeling about their
experiences here.
The administration and the regular staff can influence this kind of an
image of Lexington, but the community itself plays a large role in attracting
outstanding teachers. The fact that many of Lexington's programs are considered
superior, nationally as well as regionally, has an effect on recruitment of personnel.
At national meetings Lexington is frequently mentioned as a place that is
doing something significant and which has a very fine school system. This has
been due in large measure to the forward locking policies of the school
committee, administrative leadership, and competency in the classroom. This
thrust is important to maintain and should be guarded jealously. Once lost it
is difficult to regain.
In addition to the efforts of our own staff in locating teachers, parents
living in Lexington or former residents of the community have also been helpful
in recommending teachers for consideration.
Added to this group are professors at many institutions where Lexington
teachers are studying. These professors, recognizing the quality of Lexington's
teaching staff and educational programs, frequently attempt to influence
prospective teachers to consider Lexington as an ideal place in which to teach.
The first step in the selection process, after receiving favorable references,
is a personal interview. At the time that candidates have their first interview
they are taken to one or more schools to meet principals and teachers. Following
this interview an attempt is made to observe a teacher in the classroom. This
takes time, effort and money. It is important that this person be seen in action
to observe how he relates with children. Some idea must be gained of how this
person will work in the Lexington school system. Accordingly, administrators,
312
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
department heads, and assistant principals travel thousands of miles during the
year in order to see these people at work.
At the center of our school system is the inter - action of student and teacher.
Every effort is made to insure that only those people who have outstanding
characteristics and qualifications are brought to the attention of the superin-
tendent for consideration by him and then for final selection by the school
committee. This attempt to screen carefully, to get all possible references, to
insure that the interview is carried on well, and to acquaint the person with
Lexington is most important. Omission of any one of these steps could weaken
Lexington's recruitment program.
The two assistant superintendents of schools traveled to the mid -west last
year through. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Michigan to meet college place-
ment officers, and to talk personally about the opportunities for teachers and
administrators in Lexington. They were well received and many people were
glad to have the first hand opportunity to find out more about the Lexington
school system.
By the time this report is in print these same two will have traveled to
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana in
their search for creative and talented teachers.
As an indication of the wide geographic area from which teachers are being
attracted, the map on p. 313, prepared from a study of teachers new to Lex-
ington in September of 1964, shows the coverage by states. The numbers
indicate a degree granted to one of these teachers from a school within that state.
These trips pay off directly and indirectly in securing outstanding people.
Not only are colleges and universities through the and -west contacted, but locally
every major institution is covered by one or two administrators. In addition,
such well -known eastern schools as the University of Vermont, University of
Maine, Middlebury College, Brown University, Skidmore College, Providence
College, University of Rhode Island, Yale University, Harvard University, Tufts
University, Wesleyan University, University of New Hampshire, Dartmouth Col-
lege and the University of Pennsylvania are also visited or contacted.
Administrators go to these places, get to know the placement officers, and
in turn let them know the kind of teacher in whom Lexington is interested.
Because of these fine personal relationships established over the past years,
placement directors have a fine image of the kind of candidates Lexington seeks.
They are then in a position to recommend only those people they feel would'
fit into this system and who would be happy and successful here. This part of
the screening process goes on year after year.
The investment for recruiting and selecting made by Lexington in one year,
represented by the $44,000 bar on the graph on p. 314, consists of professional
and secretarial salaries, travel materials, brochures, etc. This represents a very
small percentage of the 1964 -65 salaries of teachers new to Lexington in
September, 1964 ($620,000). Compared with the total salaries for these same
teachers over a six -year period, this is indeed a worthwhile investment.

RECRUITING EXPENSE VS. SALARIES OF TEACHERS RECRUITED
314 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 315
For every teacher hired for the Lexington schools a decision is made which
could amount to over $300,000 in salary, assuming this one teacher stays 35
years and the teacher salary guide does not change. This one teacher can also
have contact with as many as 3500 students over this period of time The
influence a teacher has on boys and girls demands a process which secures and
retains nothing less than the best staff available.
By the time a candidate is finally brought to the attention of the superin-
tendent of schools for his consideration, many people have been involved
including principals, department heads, assistant principals, secretaries, recep-
tionists, and building chairmen. These, along with the administrative staff, have
the responsibility of meeting personnel, handling telephone calls, correspond-
ence, and personal interviews with care, tact, and courtesy.
Even though many of those interviewed will not secure positions in Lexing-
ton, each is treated in such a manner that he leaves with the impression that
this is still a fine school system even though he was not selected. These, then,
form another large group of people who carry away a fine impression of Lexington.
At the school committee meetings when the superintendent makes his final
recommendation of candidates, the community is assured that a careful process
of recruitment and selection, with many staff members making professional
judgments on each candidate, provides the committee with all the basic informa-
tion it needs to act on the recommendation of the superintendent of schools.
Through these procedures and through the care that goes into the recruit-
ment process, Lexington attempts to secure the best possible staff for the
children in its schools.
316 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
DEVELOPING BASIC SKILLS AND RICH LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
A. Language Arts
During the summer of 1964, the Language Arts Curriculum Committee
completed a Language Arts guide for the Lexington Public Schools which is
unique for at least two reasons.
It is based on the belief that an effective program should develop the
individual's understanding of what language is, foster his appreciation of its
aesthetic qualities and enable him to communicate effectively his own ideas and
feelings as well as to evaluate those of others.
Its format provides a structure, and at the same time the flexibility necessary
to promote creativity on the part of students and teachers.
The guide consists of three volumes that supplement each other in describ-
ing the arrangement of the curriculum. The Goals and Sequences volume .
provides sets of common goals for developing in students in grades one through
twelve knowledge, appreciation, and skill in use of the English language. The
Manual for Form and Style describes standard acceptable usage for Lexington.
This volume is a reference to be used by all teachers in grades one through
twelve. Resource Units, that is, collections of suggested teaching and learning
experiences organized around a selected topic or area, arc provided for the
varying grade levels.
The guide is quite adaptable to the needs of both classes and individuals
at all levels, for each teacher can observe from the charts in Goals and Sequences
the stage of advancement of a given class, then select from the Resource Units
appropriate materials for making teaching units that will assure sound learning.
This provision for flexibility is indeed important in the upper grades, because
students diverge more and more in stage of achievement and in interests as
they progress through the school.
During the last hundred and fifty years linguists, the scientists of language,
have determined facts about the structure and operation of the English language
that students will find useful as they develop the ability to listen, speak, read
and write effectively. In the Lexington Language Arts program teachers use the
knowledge of the facts determined by the linguists to plan lessons that will help
the students discover the principles upon which the set of approved conventions
are developed for the standard use of their language.
One sees first or second grade children carrying things to school to "show"
and "tell" others. Standards for courteous listening are developed by the group
and children gain confidence in speaking. Another activity carried on by these
younger children is the development of a "News of the Day," chart. The
teacher writes the sentences given on either a chalkboard or large chart paper.
Children copy the "news." Here children begin to discover the relationship
between oral and written forms. They discover that sentences begin with capital
letters and end with periods. Later, after much practice, charts with rules for
capitalization and punctuation are begun. These charts are expanded throughout
the years to be used by the children to proof -read their own written work.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 317
Learning to read is a complex and lifelong process. The child's desire to
read is increased as he sees labels on furniture, words describing color, the
names of days of the week written, filmstrip or television captions. It is at this
point of interest that children in Lexington begin to learn how to identify words.
They learn to recognize and write first the letters of the alphabet, then conso-
nants, blends, vowels, phonograms and diagraphs. They build new word's from
known words by discovering patterns within the words. As children leam to
recognize words, they must also be aware that these words have meaning as
they are put into sentence patterns. The children identify the sequence of ideas,
make generalizations, or follow directions as they read.
Children begin to use the picture dictionary to help them spell words needed'
to express their ideas in writing as soon as they know the alphabet well enough
to discover the concept of alphabetical arrangement of words. Later they learn
to use a dictionary to find the meaning of a new word, to choose a synonym .
for a word, to find standard pronunciation, or to be sure of standard syllabication
when they need to divide a word.
Using the library, or resource center, is, also, an important part of the
language arts curriculum. Here children learn to use available resources to give
them information needed to develop their ideas. First and second grade children
hear the librarian tell a story and share the pictures in a book. They are helped
to select books they can read and enjoy. Older children are taught to use such
library tools as the card catalog, the encyclopedia, and the guide to periodicals
and magazines. They learn how the Dewey Decimal Classification of books helps
them locate books easily. Skill in taking notes is developed as children use
resources in the library to get background information for their oral and written
expression.
Appreciation of good literature is an important part of the language arts
curriculum. The Language Arts Study Guide includes an annotated list of books
to be read aloud and discussed with children at each grade level in the elemen-
tary school. Included, also, is a list of the books available in sets for class study
in the secondary schools. The lists are intended to enlarge rather than restrict
the student's reading.
Although the primary emphasis in the Language Arts Curriculum in the
elementary school is on giving children opportunities to read, listen, observe,
think, and communicate their thoughts to others, children are introduced to
the principles governing the operation of their language. They discover the need
for two classes of words, or the binary concept of sentence structure. In the
elementary school, children are helped to discover four basic sentence patterns
and the four form classes, i.e., noun, verb, adjective, adverb. These under-
standings will be strengthened by further practice in the secondary schools
before students are led to the discovery of ways the ideas in sentences may
be expanded.
As a part of the language arts curriculum a systematic program of spelling
patterns has been developed to supplement other instruction in spelling in the
Lexington Schools. Handwriting, too, is regarded as a skill essential to the
318 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
language arts. The Rinehart system of handwriting is used in all Lexington
schools. Consultants from the Rinehart Company work with Lexington's teachers
and evaluate sets of written products from each school every month, Teachers
use the evaluation to plan instruction that will lead the children to improve
their handwriting.
A curriculum must be interpreted in terms of the opportunities it provides
for each child to grow, to develop understanding and skill, and to increase his
desire to learn. Lexington children will not all be at the same place in their
development of understanding and skill in using the English language when they
leave the elementary school. Records of each individual's accomplishment are
forwarded to the junior high school. There the teachers use the information sent
to plan instruction in the Language Arts that helps individuals and groups to
progress in appreciation, understanding, and skill in using their language.
The newly -built Language Arts Guide is proving to be a very effective means
for continuing in secondary school English the instruction in language, com-
munications, and reading literature begun in the elementary schools.
Secondary school English in Lexington is now based on a language- centered
program linguistic in orientation; that is, instruction in reading, writing, speaking,
listening, and thinking are taught, not as separate entities, but in subject matter
units which show how the English language works and how all elements of corn -
munication are interrelated. Through the "linguistic approach" Lexington stu-
dents come to see that (1) language changes constantly, (2) change in language,
as in all living things, is normal, (3) the spoken language is the language, the
basis of all forms of communication, (4) the sentence rather than the word is
the basic unit of meaning, (5) meaning and "correctness" rest solely on usage,
and (6) all usage is relative; that is, appropriateness is the test, and therefore
absolutes of right and wrong in matters of usage do not exist.
These principles are most immediately applicable in teaching grammar
structure, take much less time to impart and enable students to begin sentence
improvement or elementary rhetoric much sooner than formerly. Teachers al-
ready feel that their pupils have a better sense of structure, write better and
more happily, and are able to devote more time to literature and independent
reading. Lexington schools were the first in Massachusetts to introduce struc-
tural linguistics and to provide a twelve -year program for it in a study guide,
a fact which aroused much interest at the annual 1964 conference of the
National Council of Teachers of English in Cleveland and has resulted in nu-
merous requests for copies of the new language arts guide.
The favored means for teaching English in Lexington secondary schools is
the thematic unit; that is, a body of learnings organized about a topic of con-
siderable scope and of significance to the individual students in the class. In
grade eight, for example, a group may embark on a "Concord Unit" which
entails study of several of the writers of the Concord school: their background,
their works, and their influence. During the weeks that the unit is in progress,
pupils do independent source study in the library and elsewhere, share their
findings in small group discussions, write up the results, then report to the class
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 319
as a whole through panels or symposiums. Thus, in an on -going activity both
class and individual profit by related opportunities to read, write, speak, listen
and evaluate. Similarly, in grade ten a class may be working on "An Evaluation
of Short Stories in Magazines Today," and in grade twelve an Advanced Pro-
gram section may be deep in "Sound Logic and Fallacies in Plato's Republic."
Written composition is very much emphasized. Whatever the class is doing,
each student is expected to write a piece of finished composition each week.
This frequency of writing makes for facility and fluency, but it also creates
problems in motivation. The teacher must constantly exercise her ingenuity to
find new and challenging approaches, and she learns to draw heavily upon the
treasure house of suggestions contributed by other teachers in the resource
units. In grades seven and eight, pupils are encouraged to treat imaginative
topics that produce short stories, descriptions, pretended experiences, and
poems; yet they learn to develop skills also in such kind's of functional writing
as letters, reports, and explanations. From grade nine on, expository writing is
increasingly emphasized. While creative writing is still encouraged and wel-
comed, those forms of composition most commonly used throughout life are
developed: business letters, proof -type expositions, explanations, analyses and
evaluations, and research papers. Again, many of the subjects for writing come
about naturally in the course of the thematic units.
Lexington students who are bound for college receive more than usual
training in writing research papers. The progression in this area begins in grade
seven, where pupils leam to take notes on dictionary and encyclopedia entries,
then make simple written reports from them. By the junior year they have
learned to cut across the barriers of subject matter fields in a source paper
supervised for content by their American history teacher and for technique by
their English teacher. In the senior year they are expected to write, with a mini-
mum of supervision, a problem- centered source theme of the term paper type
so often required in college courses.
Most activities in the speech arts grow out of the sharing process in thematic
units. In small group discussion a pupil may analyze the problem at hand, or
explain the findings of his contributory reading, or strive to reconcile two op-
posing views that have arisen. In the sharing with the entire class he may act
as chairman, secretary, parliamentarian, panel member, or lecture speaker. Al-
most never are such isolated practices in public speaking invoked as formal book
reports or three- minute talks on "How to Bake a Chocolate Cake," or "How I
Taught My Dog 'Gyp' To Play Dead Dog."
The secondary school literature program is based on two related convictions:
that the high school graduate should have knowledge and appreciation of repre-
sentative standard classics which are the common cultural heritage of English -
speaking peoples, and that he should have a critical understanding of and a settled
habit of reading the works of competent contemporary writers who are likely to
go on writing well into his adulthood. To fulfill the first need, the core of the
literature program is still the well -known favorites, such books as David Copper -
field, Tom Sawyer, A Tale of Two Cities, The Red Badge of Courage, The Can-
320 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
terbury Tales, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, and Hamlet. To enrich the understand-
ing of contemporary literature, sets of books running into more than 140 titles
are available. Thanks to the paperbacks industry, a teacher can make up thematic
units in good' literature for classes of a wide range of ability and interest levels.
In addition, the supplementary reading program enables the pupil to enrich his
background by reading at least ten books a year of his own choice.
If space permitted, one could explain at length the additional offerings
in language arts available in the allied extracurricular organizations: the Year-
book, the school newspaper, the literary supplement, the creative writing course,
the dramatic club, the humanities courses, the special reading and speech
courses. Throughout a pupil's twelve years in the Lexington schools teachers
do all they can to fulfill the philosophy that stands at the beginning of the
Language Arts Guide: "An effective language arts program should develop
the individual's understanding of what language is, foster his appreciation of
its aesthetic qualities, and enable him to communicate effectively his own
ideas and feelings as well as evaluate those of others."
B. Mathematics
The conception of mathematics has changed from a tool subject to a
system of ideas. No one has succeeded in defining what mathematics is. It
might be characterized as a system of ideas, a way of communicating thought
through symbolic expression, a way or procedure for thinking, and a deductive
science. Mathemtics is more than a study of numbers, geometric figures and
the obtainment of skills.
The rapid development of mathematics and its applications has started a
revolution. New areas of mathematics are constantly being developed. In the
last fifteen years there have been formal attempts by various groups of mathe-
maticians and educators to evaluate the existing curriculum and recommend
new programs.
The teaching of mathematics has evolved from the theory of formal
disciplines to the present day method of directed discovery through intuitive
discussion. The present day thinking recognizes that methodology and content
are inseparable. In particular, the content often suggests a method of
development.
Society today is greatly influenced by science which is dependent upon
mathematics. To be an educated person in this society one must be conversant
with the fundamental concepts of mathematics. Hence, it is highly important
that man recognize the influence and power of mathematics.
It is no longer desirable to teach only those skills and applications that
have immediate use. By stressing the principles of mathematics, a person will
acquire the necessary background that will enable him to adapt to situations
that he may encounter in the future.
The modern mathematics programs are based upon the following assump-
tions:
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 321
1. Mathematics is second only to the language arts in its importance
in the education cf the individual. It is the basis of ideas which in
our scientifically- oriented culture are indispensible to understanding the
modern environment. Precise communication requires the quantification
of these concepts.
2. A greater mathematical facility is required of the citizen to live in
our complex society than ever before. Mathematics is used in our
decision - making procedures at every level from tomorrow's weather
report to the location of businesses and industry.
3. Individuals differ in the capacity to learn but every student has suf-
ficient ability to develop further mathematic insight and competence
provided instruction suitable to his needs is available.
Because of these assumptions extensive changes in mathematics education
are taking place.
The Lexington school system has been aware of the new developments in
mathematics. For the past several years a special committee has been exploring
these developments. As a result of the study and use of some of the "new
programs,' the group recognized that a combination of modern concepts and
traditional skills would be necessary to provide the pupil with mathematical
understandings and competencies.
No one program was found which fulfilled the goals of Lexington. It was
considered necessary to develop a curriculum tailored to the needs of the
community.
A more extensive committee was appointed in the spring of 1964 to assume
responsibility for this task. The group consists of representatives from each
grade level. Reviewing the work of the past few years, the committee has
adopted, developed and innovated the following:
1. There should be a mathematics program to take care of the needs
of all students at all grade levels. The committee has designed and
implemented a curriculum so that some mathematics is available to
all. It is designed in order that students can move through the sequence
at a pace commensurate with their abilities. All students will receive,
over varying periods of time, certain basic concepts.
2. Mathematical concepts are introduced to the student when he is found
capable of handiing them and periodically thereafter. Learning ex-
experiences have been planned in such a way that intuitive concepts are
being introduced in the early grades and continuously developed and
expanded throughout the student's school experience. These concepts
are helically programmed. That is, the student periodically investigates
a given concept but at an ever - higher level of abstraction or in a
new context.
322 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
3. An understanding of structure is valuable for relating concepts and
promoting creativity. Most of the mathematics which is taught is
dependent upon a few basic ideas. This is in contrast to mathematics
as a collection of skills or symbols. The structure approach allows for
creativity on the part of the student as well as making for better
retention of skills.
4. The use of the discovery approach is desirable. This allows students
to explore ideas and make hypotheses which can be tested against the
above structure.
5. Effective coordination must exist between the elementary, junior high
and senior high schools. The curriculum is planned in such a way that
the students have a continued experience instead of a transition period
between schools.
Until recently the one branch of mathematics taught in the elementary
school was referred to as arithmetic. The traditional curriculum was frequently
limited to the skills on four foundamental processes and was usually devoid
of ideas. This restricted the students from being creative by discovering ideas.
Today there is a change in terminology from "arithmetic" to "elementary school
mathematics" —this indicates the changing emphasis. The program, formerly
limited to the fundamental processes, is now broadened to include all branches
in mathematics (algebra, geometry, etc.) suitable for boys and girls within
their age and /or ability range. With this change of emphasis comes concern
over time formerly spent for "rote" learning or drill and now used for emphasis
on mathematical content and understanding.
Adequate provision is made in the program for teaching the same manipula-
tive skills that received so much time in the arithmetic curriculum. Balance
is the answer. There is still a need for this training, but the emphasis is now
on the structure and pattern of mathematics.
Topics new to the elementary school curriculum include set language, systems
of numeration, (including different bases and symbols for writing numbers) prop -
ertiesofoperations — examples: (El +L =r7 + 0); (OX CI)XL- OX (0 Xp),
geometric forms, and rudiments of algebra. Much of the mathematics con-
tent emphasized in the first half of the twentieth century has been incorporated
in the reorganization of the mathematics curriculum.
In the junior high school, three distinct courses are taught and students
are grouped according to aptitude, motivation and previous achievement. The
more capable students are offered algebra and an introduction to geometry
with special emphasis on the rational (fractional) numbers. Those least advanced
have a program centered on their need for remedial arithmetic based upon the
"new' math. The major portion of our student population fits between these
extremes. Their modern curriculum differs from the more capable students'
program only in depth and pace. For all students, special attention is given
to their computational facility.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 323
The high school program is closely coordinated with the junior high school
program. In order to accommodate the various abilities five levels of mathe-
matics are offered in each grade.
These levels range from remedial through advanced placement (accelerated).
The higher level courses include matrix algebra, probability, computer theory
and programming, and calculus.
In summary:
The curriculum is designed to allow teacher initiative in obtaining pre -set
goals. Each school has the freedom to operate provided it can guarantee the
attainment of the town's goals at the end of the elementary, junior, or senior
school term, A school may use those materials for which its teachers are
trained and capable of using and from which its students could gain the most.
The junior high schools have been using the modern mathematics materials
and are in the process of revising the curriculum again to capitalize upon the
fact that the elementary program now includes content which was previously
taught at the junior high level. The same type of revision is to take place on
the high school level.
In the development of the Lexington Program, two stages remain. The
first is to continue to develop effective instructional materials for students and
teachers. These include enrichment, extension and supplementary practice
materials for student use and reference, bibliographical and pedagogical materials
for teachers.
The second stage will include the construction of evaluation instruments,
the determination of proficiency levels, and the development of efficient cur-
riculum records.
C. Social Studies
The area of the social studies in the schools originally included history,
geography, and civics. With the continual development of other disciplines in
the social and behavioral sciences, aspects of these sciences selected for in-
structional use have become a part of the social studies curriculum. Anthro-
pology, archaeology, economics, political science, sociology, and social psychology
are the subjects most frequently considered. While the elementary schools
have largely drawn from these materials as they seemed essential to the
clarification and enrichment of their selected units, the secondary schools have
tended to treat them increasingly as separate subjects. The field is large and
the concern of those engaged in strengthening the curriculum in the social
studies continues to be how to maintain a balance between content and process.
A Committee for the Social Studies has worked for a month in each of
the past two summers revising and developing a guide for teachers in this
field from grades one through twelve. During the school year, members of the
Committee have led groups of teachers in further preparation and implemen-
tation of content materials and activities. An era marked by the explosion
of knowledge requires a curriculum for pupils in the social studies designed
324 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
to show them evidences of stability, as well as change. The program must
help them add meaning to their own lives and yet share in the obligations of
society.
The philosophy for this program has been materializing for several years
and was accepted in the following form:
The basic responsibility of the Social Studies Program is the
development of informed citizens fully aware of the need for
insuring the dignity and worth of the individual, for personal
involvement in improving the society they have inherited, for
appreciating the contributions of all cultures to society, and for
recognizing the interdependence of all peoples. In the largest
sense, then, the goal of the Social Studies is to prepare students
for intelligent participation in a free society.
Units have been or will be created to be tested in the classrooms by both
teachers and pupils. The titles of these units follow a theme running through
a year's work or course. In selecting the content, the emphasis has been
placed on topics that lend some understanding to the theme and cultivate the
thinking. To provide the opportunity for studying in more depth, fewer units
will be examined. The aim here is to foster a spirit of inquiry and develop
skills leading to significant concepts and generalizations. Nor will the same
units be taught each year. The choice will differ with additions, deletions, and
revisions to fit the needs. The themes, as well as units, will be adapted to
the maturity and interests of the group.
At present the themes for each grade are:
I. Man has various ways of meeting similar needs.
II. Man has adapted to a variety of natural habitats.
III. Man finds new ways to control his relationship to his environment.
IV, Technology has changed the production and distribution of goods and
services and has created new opportunities and problems for human
society.
V. There is a variety of patterns of development and interdependence
within and among nations.
VI. Man's acts of inquiry, creativity, and expression evolve from and in-
fluence his culture.
VII. An examination of the forces of discovery, revolution, diversity and
technology with which man interacted in developing this nation is
essential to appreciate the heritage of America.
VIII. Man's increased application of knowledge to his physical environment
is developing a better way of life.
IX & X. An understanding of the modern world necessitates an investigation
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 325
of the patterns of stability and change through a study of the evolution
of man's social, political and economic organizations.
XI. Progress toward the perfecting and safeguarding of human rights and
the comprehension of the responsibilities of citizenship, can be im-
plemented by the study of the American past.
XII. All human societies are confronted with complex problems which must
be resolved if the culture is to be perpetuated.
While we have been experiencing the throes of transition in dealing with
the new social studies curriculum content there has been time devoted to the
skills. As teachers have worked with the new units and have become more
accustomed to the emphasis on generalizations and concepts, their insights
as to the need for the skills and tools of learning have grown more perceptive.
With many pupils more actively engaged in the thinking and learning process,
the units in social studies provide for content with which the pupils are directly
involved in learning many skills rather than having them taught apart from
the subject matter in isolation.
The Lexington Social Studies Guide contains a section which itemizes
skills. Specific skills are identified and recommendations made as to what
grade they should be introduced. Space does not permit listing all of them
here, but the broad categories are as follows:
1. Obtaining information
2. Organizing information
3. Evaluating information
4. Solving problems
5. Using textual materials
6. Becoming oriented in time and chronology
7. Interpreting maps and globes
8. Understanding and creating informative pictures, charts, graphs
9. Participating in and leading group work
10. Listening and observing
11. Speaking and writing
Many of the skills used in social studies are commonly associated with
the language arts. In the new guide for that curriculum, specific skills are
identified and a scope and sequence chart recommends in what grade they
should be introduced and through what grades they should continue to be
taught. The content of social studies provides a means for developing and
using many of these skills common to both curricula. However, certain of the
skills receive particular emphasis in social studies, such as those associated
326. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
with map work, globes, charts, graphs, time and chronology. The content of
social studies also provides situations for skills in working with groups of
pupils in varying number.
It is essential that the teacher supply stimulating situations which result
in rich learning experiences if the pupils are to acquire a breadth of skills.
These should provide for personal growth as well as for group participation.
As more - experience is gained, the pupils will be able to apply more effective
thinking for better solutions. Too often in the past the emphasis in social
studies has been on what has happened without proper preparation or per-
spective for what is to come. It is imperative that we furnish the opportunity
for the pupils of today to learn the necessary skills to cope with the problems
presented by a dynamic society in a changing world.
Through the collaboration with our town and school librarians, social
studies teachers have collected supplementary readings, primary and secondary
sources, that are invaluable to pupils. A variety of audio - visuat materials
with training offered for making overlays, slides and tapes adds another
dimension to learning. By careful preparation for field trips to museums, historic
sites, plays and other cultural advantages which our environment affords, these
activities are both attractive and purposeful to young people. We are also
most fortunate in Lexington to be living in an area where it is possible to
draw upon many consultants in college, industry or research to enhance the
classroom discussions. Thus, the assets of our larger community increasingly
bring vitality to our program.
The instructional pay -off from this revision in 'Lexington's social studies
curriculum should result in pupils who are more stimulated and responsible.
Hopefully they will be better prepared to inquire, think, and disseminate
information which will bring about desirable changes in their own behavior
and in that society which they will help build.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
IDENTIFYING AND MEETING INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
A. American Problems
The primary objective of the social studies in general, and of the senior
American Problems course in particular, has been expressed as "fostering the
values and attitudes necessary for active and constructive participation in
American society among the students." Nowhere is this goal more difficult
to achieve than among those who have no plans for further education beyond
high school. Recognizing the exceptional nature of this group, and the need
for a special program to meet its needs, an experimental American Problems
program has been instituted for one class of twelfth grade terminal students.
In conjunction with the Lincoln Filene Center of Tufts University, and
particularly through the efforts of its assistant director, Dr. John S. Gibson,
an attempt has been made through the senior social studies course to bridge
the age -old gap between school and society for one group of fourteen students.
The program itself presently lacks structure; it is experimental, and its method
is trial and error. The assumptions on which it operates are simple: school
is indeed alien to this group, and these students need and deserve special
attention. The basic method, therefore, is equally simple: fight this feeling
of alienation through attention. It is felt that the interest manifest in an
experimental program should prove to the students that someone cares. There-
fore, it is frankly and repetitiously asserted to the students that a special
program is being provided, that there is interest in and concern for them. For
a group with a history of academic failure and neglect, this alone should give
them cause to reconsider their attitudes. It is hoped that ultimately alienation
will be replaced by receptivity. Hence not only through what is taught, but
also through the very act of trying to teach it, the attitudes necessary for
active and constructive participation as adult citizens, as expressed in the
general objective stated at the outset, may better be fulfilled.
The content of the course, which remains flexible anyway, has not been
altered. On all levels, American Problems attempts to identify critical social,
economic, and political problems and to encourage students to analyze and
criticize solutions to them. It is felt that critical and constructive thinking
is essential to intelligent citizenship in a democracy, With the terminal student,
it is important to avoid the strictly theoretical methods that are successful
with the more motivated and verbal groups. Dr. Gibson has devised a method
of teaching theory through diagrams that are more visual than verbal. In
the future, if this method proves as successful as it has thus far, a series
of slides might be created for the overhead projector. This would add the
inherent interest of the audio - visual tools to the apparent practicality of Dr.
Gibson's development.
The usefulness of audio - visual techniques became apparent with the use
of a series of four brief films dealing with practical political problems that had
been developed at the Lincoln Filene Center for use on educational television.
The same problems that had elicited little response when presented verbally by
327
328
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
the teacher seemed to provoke intelligent and perceptive discussion among the
students when dramatized on film. The potential of audio - visual materials
for such groups as this must be further explored, for such students are im-
mediately more receptive to material presented in such a manner.
In an effort to destroy the equation of learning with the classroom, and
to draw school and life closer together, field trips were found to be immensely
useful. The students learn quickly through experience and personal observation;
they learn poorly— indeed, they often resent learning — through books and
lectures. Trips to the local Democrat and Republican party headquarters pro-
vided many insights into the operation of practical politics, and meshed well
with the films and diagram technique previously mentioned. Later the students
spent a full day observing a complete trial at District Court in Concord. By
such trips it is hoped that the students will come to understand and respect
politics and the law. Before the end of the school year further advantage
will be taken of the numerous opportunities for learning outside the classroom.
The textbook approach in American Problems has been completely dis-
carded, with reliance rather on the excellent facilities of the school and town
libraries and the relevant paperbacks currently adaptable for classroom use.
Problems have been encountered with this group in acquiring reading materials
both within the students' reading ability and at the same time not insulting
to their intelligence. Thus far, virtually no such materials have been found
in the libraries. A few paperbacks and some materials developed at the
Lincoln Filene Center have proven useful.
In general, traditional methods bear re- examination when related to in-
struction of these terminal students. Homework is assigned irregularly and
then only when the purpose is carefully explained and the need for it to be
done outside class is justified. When this procedure is followed, most students
do their homework more willingly and better than before.
Students accustomed to academic failure, which has been measured by
grades, do not respond positively to low grades. They do, however, appear
to be motivated by receiving high grades, and their work seems to improve
as their grades do. They need success, and appreciate the recognition usually
reserved for the college -bound students. It has, therefore, been a policy to
"mark high" rather than be over - critical.
In general it appears that teachers as weil as students have profited from
the project. Alternate teaching and joint planning stimulates the teachers,
and seems to maintain interest among students. The students are flattered
by the presence of Dr. Gibson. A close personal relationship between student
and teacher makes the students eager to please and builds respect within the
teacher for the individual student, regardless of his goals or abilities.
It is hoped that such programs may be expanded to meet the needs of
other underprivileged students in the Lexinoton secondary schools. This year's
project must be regarded strictly as a pioneer venture by a high school teacher
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 329
and a college teacher who are only trying to identify the problem and to
try out a variety of possible approaches.
Amid the vast amount of time and energy currently being expended for
curriculum development and special programs there has remained a group
that has been affected by none of it. This group, whose formal education
ends at high school graduaticn, deserves equal time. Such time might be
wisely invested. A realistic program would measurably improve society both
in and out of school.
8. The Basic Studies Program
The Lexington Basic Studies Program tries to create an environment con-
ducive to learning, founded upon the interests and needs of students who
have previously had unsuccessful school experience. Members of the Basic
Studies teaching team are subject- matter oriented, but all are concerned with
the manipulation of their subjects to realize the interests and abilities of
these students. These team members try to approach subject matter with
enough flexibility to meet the needs of these students.
The Basic Studies staff recognizes the importance of fundamental skills.
One of the teacher's primary tasks, therefore, is to review and reteach those
things which are essential to learning. A very considerable amount of time
must be allocated to these matters in an effort to realize student potentials.
Before any teacher can achieve a desirable result from subject matter
instruction, the attitude of most Basic Studies students toward things academic
must be modified. The students who come into the program are typically
antagonistic toward school and teachers. A major problem is to convince these
students that the teacher is a partner in the enterprise of learning and not an
adult critic. A primary task of the tenth grade program is to reorient new
students through counseling and to convince them that they have a chance
to be academically successful. If this can be done, there is hope that indi-
viduals can commit themselves to buildinj a better future for themselves.
Unfortunately, this is not always possible because of previous negative attitudes
about learning. Essentially, what the staff tries to do is create a feeling
of hope in the individual, a sense of his own worth which can grow into self -
respect and self - confidence. His progress is judged, not by his standing
among other students, but as an individual; he is given a greater opportunity
for personal instruction within an environment of an informal, relaxed class-
room, The program does demand that the tasks, carefully chosen as being
suitable, be done and effort be shown. The basic problem of morale is worked
at seriously in the hope that the idea of a second chance can revitalize the
student.
A definite attempt is also made to get the student involved in the total
school program. It is believed that it would be detrimental if all his time were
spent in Basic Studies. The staff encourages him to elect courses and experiment
with new interests, hoping that he will participate in extracurricular activities
and associate with students of varying abilities and interests.
330 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
Perhaps the most striking feature of the program is that it does not
neglect the non - academic aspects which so often affect scholastic achievement.
While the school alone cannot hope to revitalize the individual, neither will
the stressing of subject matter above the individual solve the problem of this
student. The attitude and morale of this student constitutes special problems
one does not encounter with the academically successful student.
This program is organized to include a team of four teachers operating at
grade ten, three at grade eleven, and two at grade twelve who have been
recruited from the major subject matter departments of English, mathematics,
science, and social studies. At grade ten the students receive instruction in
biology, English, mathematics, and social studies (Regional Organization and
Problems.) The four instructors who teach these courses attempt to integrate
and reinforce ideas in a sometimes thematic approach. In grade eleven a
team of three instructors work with the Basic Studies students in the academic
disciplines of English, United States History, social living, and a review of
fundamental mathematics. Again the attempt is made to work on a common
vocabulary, and attention is closely paid by the team to improvement of oral
and written expression by the students. In the twelfth grade the students'
instruction is in English and science by a two - member instructional team. The
twelfth grade English teacher also works at some length with world -wide current
events. The science teacher attempts to instill an appreciation of the scientific
principles which affect the students' immediate environment.
The teachers are assigned to the Basic Studies Program for approximately
half the school day, during which they teach according to whatever schedule
has been devised for the day during a planning period. This planning period,
part of the allotted block of time each day, frees the instructor from other
teaching duties and allows the grade level teachers to plan work together; the
coordination of course presentations, the grouping of the students, the length
of time needed for the activities of the day. This planning period is also
used to discuss problems relating to the Program by the team, to engage in
conferences with students, and as the need arises, to confer with parents of
those students involved in the Program. The scheduling of the Program has
been so arranged to allow for an uninterrupted block of two to three hours of
instructional time. This larger block of time allows for more flexibility in
teaching and provides the opportunity for carrying out projects outside the
school building. In addition, this larger block of time affords greater opportunity
than in a traditional school schedule for the development of a closer personal
relationship between students and teachers and among the students themselves.
Very little homework is given to the students, particularly in the early
part of the school year. Basic Studies students find it difficult to work alone;
they often get discouraged, and tend to procrastinate. Consequently, much
of the work is done in class where the teacher is readily available to guide and
encourage. In this way much failure, which often results in frustration and
hostility toward school, can be avoided.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 331
Although students are brought together within the Basic Studies instruc-
tional areas, they are not separated from the rest of the student body. They
are encouraged to complete their academic program with electives which fall
within their interest and ability ranges; furthermore, the Basic Studies students
have the same physical education classes and study halls as other students.
As an outgrowth of the academic program and a transition to the occupa-
tional world, a work experience feature has been instituted. Work experience
has been designed to offer to qualified candidates job preparation which
hopefully will establish a relationship between employers and students in a
meaningful training program. Close liaison between the school and the
employer is necessary in order for proper evaluation of the trainee's progress
to be determined. Each student selected for this work experience feature, on
the recommendation of his teachers, works every afternoon during the week
(20 hours). Students sometimes find their own jobs. However, on occasion
the students are sent to interview for a job initially located by the director
of work experience. Trainees keep their own records of work done, hours,
wages earned, and self - evaluation of their work progress. The director visits
the trainees on the job about twice per month. Reactions from employers are
discussed with the trainees whenever necessary. Remuneration is governed
by existing laws affecting payment of minimum wages to minors and by the
employer's opinion of the value of the services of these trainees. Trainees
successfully completing the training feature of the Basic Studies Program
receive credit toward their high school diploma.
Students now come into the Lexington Basic Studies Program at the
beginning of the tenth grade. A few additions are made at the beginning
of the eleventh or the twelfth grade, and occasionally it is possible to transfer
a student into the Program after the beginning of the school year.
Parents are informed of the features of the Program by a letter which
provides for an individual conference if desired and by a par=_I discussion
meeting. It is understood that at any time a student may be wilndrawn from
the Program upon the request of the parents. Similarly, a student may be
transferred out of the Program during the year if it is felt by the teaching
team and guidance staff that the Program is not meeting his needs.
At the end of the tenth grade it is expected that several students will
transfer to the regular programs of the high school, either to the lower level
of college preparatory work or to major concentrations in business courses.
Usually, these transfers are mutually agreed upon by the staff and the pupils
involved.
In summary, the most distinctive features of the Lexington Basic Studies
Program are a cooperative team teaching approach, a large block of time
scheduled each day for the operation of the Program, experimental teaching
methods employing a direct, personal approach, and a work experience oppor-
tunity for those students interested and qualified.

C. The Humanities Program
It has been said that our schools should offer students opportunities both
to make a good living and to make a good life. In an attempt to develop a
vehicle for the latter objective, a high school humanities program was developed
for the 1964 -65 school year.
The "humanities" have been defined as the fields of studies which deal
with man, with a study of man's character and his spirit, his experiences and
his environment, his ideas and his values, and the problems and challenges
he faces. Man is not studied as a too! -using individual, as in the applied
sciences, but as a spiritual, rational, creative person,
A new humanities course was established during the 1964 -65 school year
at the Lexington High School by a committee representing the arts, music,
and 'English departments. In this course there is a tendency to emphasize
the arts, their relationship to each other and to history, religion, and philosophy.
When the course was first proposed, the committee strongly believed that
it should be organized in such a way that pupils could be introduced to new
interests with absolutely no pressures to pursue the topics unless they so
desired. Since most pupils already have a large burden of homework, the
committee wanted a course with no assignments, no exams, and no grades.
Arrangements could be made for pupils to investigate topics further, but
there would be no requirement to do so. This approach has been a major
asset of the program this year; pupils can relax and glean what they want
from the lectures or performances. At this point it should be stressed that
no credit is given for this course and, while enrollment is voluntary, each
student must attend every session or he is automatically dropped.
For 1964 -65 two separate courses have been organized, one for freshmen
and sophomores and the other for juniors and seniors, Both courses meet at the
same time: "H" block on Thursdays, so that occasionally the two classes may
meet together for performances. Despite the fact that courses in art, music,
and creative writing meet during the same period, approximately 150 pupils
enrolled for the program and have attended regularly.
The freshman - sophomore program this year stresses a "what is it" approach
to the arts and philosophy and is divided into four major classifications: "A
Structural Analysis of the Arts /' "Theater," "Philosophy," and "The Creative
Mind." The junior- senior program has three major topics: "Isolation of the
Creative Spirit in the Twentieth Century," "Nationalism and the Arts," and
"Religion." Both groups meet together during February and March for a series
of performances by a chorus, orchestra, opera company, ballet troupe, folk
music, and dramatic group. Periodically, each large group breaks down into
small seminars to discuss ideas introduced in the lectures or performances, and
these discussions are led by various high school teachers.
The effect has been a striking one, much greater even than the committee
has anticipated.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
333
1. The response of authorities to invitations to lecture or perform
has been quite amazing. Several of the lectures and perform-
ances are being given by high school teachers, music, or art
groups. The majority are presented by outside people such as the
following: Michael Murray (director of the Charles Playhouse),
five professors from Tufts University, Woodrow Wilson Sayre
and Richard Filipowski of Lexington, Jan Veen's modern dance
group from the Boston Conservatory, four lecturers from the
DeCordova Museum, three Russian exchange students at Harvard,
and speakers from Harvard, Brandeis, and Boston University.
2. Twenty teachers volunteered to manage discussion groups. They
represent almost every department in high school; and, lust as
many of the youngsters are often working in fields that are
outside those of their usual interests, the teachers are also often
leading discussions in areas relatively new to them. Many
teachers also regularly attend the weekly programs.
3. Several teachers have reported that occasionally in their classes
pupils have taken out their notes from humanities lectures and
referred to concepts or information learned from the lectures.
There is a sharp trend for departments to supplement their regular courses
with lecture series in the area of the humanities or to relate the arts within their
course. The art and music teachers are increasingly being asked to give lectures
or demonstrations within classes held in other departments. Certainly this trend
has not been caused exclusively by the Thursday humanities course; it is,
rather, a trend of the times. However, the course has definitely helped to .
stimulate interest in the humanities at Lexington High School.
Thus, in very practical and effective fashion, the course in the humanities
has provided a vehicle for identifying and meeting the individual needs of some
of Lexington's high school students.
D. The Advanced Program
Lexington's Advanced Program was established in 1957 to identify and
provide a program for pupils of highest potential, intellectual as well as artistic,
musical or athletic. The identification process in Lexington is an unusually
comprehensive one based on extensive individual testing, a planned program of
achievement tests and systematic teacher observation.
The Advanced Program Committee, composed of teachers, members of the
Pupil Personnel staff, and administrators is assigned responsibility for identifying
pupils of highest intellectual calibre. The Committee bases its decisions on test
results, on information from the school, and often on information from parent
interviews. Because pupils do not mature at even rates, the Committee is as
flexible as possible in making its decisions, frequently reviewing recommenda-
tions or following pupil progress over a long period of time. In 1964, 462
records were reviewed by the Advanced Program Committee; 42% of these
were for grades four and above. Identification is a continuing process, and
334 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
pupils may be moved at any time when the change seems best designed to
meet individual needs.
Identification of Advanced Program pupils and grouping them together is
only the first responsibility of the school. Curriculum changes and adaptations
in methods, based on educational research and teacher experience, insure that
pupils not only attain the skills and the factual knowledge expected of all
children in Lexington, but also insure that training in particular skills may be
introduced whenever the individual is ready, that the order of units may be
varied, or that units may be treated with different emphasis. This flexibility is
essential as shown by the 1964 achievement tests on which Advanced Program
students scored two or three grades above normal grade placement in skills
measured.
The elementary curriculum is essentially ungraded and carried out now under
a variety of forms of school organization. In the fall of 1964 new classes were
established in the team - teaching schools of Franklin and Estabrook; new types
of grouping were introduced in Parker and Hancock where teachers are respon-
sible for several age levels; more traditional class organizations continued in
Harrington, Fiske and in the new groups at Maria Hastings School. The sixth
grade classes are under an even different situation in the two junior high schools
where a semi- departmentalized program is used. A common objective for all of
these classes is to provide encouragement of individual interests, understanding
of some topics in depth, contact with highest quality in writing, in the arts or
in music, and recognition that there can be many solutions to a problem, not
just one right answer. Teaching encourages originality, sensitivity to new
impressions, a questioning approach to knowledge as well as a command of
essential disciplines.
Meetings of teachers during the school year and the summer workshops are
to prepare and exchange materials for genuine enrichment, to suggest methods
by which pupils within the group may progress at individual rates of speed.
The elementary meetings during the school year of 1964 led to the writing
of a booklet (given to all teachers with Advanced Program classes in September,
1964) which described the nature of the Program, its goals, the characteristics
which research attributes to creative and /or gifted children, an outline of the
curriculum and general suggestions for teaching methods. Meetings during the
fall of 1964 have been used by teachers to explain quite specific projects found
to be successful in stimulating originality and freer expression in writing,
integrating work in art, music, literature and history.
The secondary teacher meetings included speakers, meetings with elemen-
tary teachers and departmental discussions of curriculum. Special groups of
junior high English, social studies, music, and art teachers and department
chairmen sought ways of strengthening the humanities at that level. Some high
school teachers of history, science and math now meet to integrate readings in
selected historical periods.
English and social studies departments are devoting time in their Advanced
Program discussion groups to ways of training individuals for truly independent
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 335
study — work on special projects, preparation of seminar reports or individual
work on a prescribed course — attainable by the senior year if skills have been
carefully developed.
The Advanced Program workshop during the summer of 1964 completed
units in literature suitable for elementary pupils, units to accompany the basic
curriculum in social studies and language arts. Humanities units planned earl-
ier were completed for grade eight by an English and geography teacher with
the advice of a consultant from the Tufts University art department, A high
school teacher worked on a course offered to seniors in the Advanced Program
in English — a course entitled The Development of Western Thought. At all
levels activities were planned to integrate materials of several disciplines, to
encourage independent thought and interpretation and appreciation of the many
aspects and the wonder of the creative spirit of man.
Definition of the goals of a school or a program does not mean full attain-
ment of the goals, but the Lexington Schools are constantly alert to exploring
new ways of fulfilling their basic responsibility — the development of each
individual to his fullest capacity.
336 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
A critical review of the status of a school system usually reveals unmet
needs which must be satisfied in the future. However irritating to the public, a
superintendent is obligated to speak to these needs until they are satisfied.
To neglect this responsibility is a breach of faith with the school committee and
citizens who have entrusted their schools to his care. No other person in the
enterprise is offered an overview of the entire system through daily contacts
with each of the essential parts of the operation. When the superintendent
fails to speak about the needs and problems of the schools he is, in effect,
silencing the most important agency through which children can speak.
With this thought in mind I offer, in general terms, some of the more
important needs which I have identified. during my first year as superintendent:
1. A kindergarten program
2. A schedule for building schools which provides enough class-
rooms for the growth of a school district so that pupils will not
be overcrowded, housed in emergency spaces, or shifted to junior
high schools before grade seven.
3. A program, or programs, which will identify and develop the
vast reservoir of ability and talent which exists among the
so- called "average students."
4. Procurement of enough sites for our building needs at land
saturation.
5. Maintenance of a professional salary guide at a level which will
continue to attract and keep good teachers.
Horace Mann's statement, "No community should rest contented being
superior to other communities while it is inferior to its own capabilities," sum-
marizes our challenge for the future.
Let us hope that we have both the imagination and courage to meet the
needs which our children will place before us.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 337
IN APPRECIATION
It is obvious from the preceding discussion that a great portion of this year
was spent in curriculum development. None of these activities and programs
could have been conducted without the efforts of our professional staff. They
have spent many hours in committee meetings and individual study to improve
educational opportunities for Lexington children. Their efforts are sincerely
appreciated.
During this year Manfred Warren and Miss Margaret Leake, who have given
thirty -six and thirty -one years, respectively, to the youth of Lexington, retired
from teaching. Miss Regina McKenna, Mrs. Mary Neville and James Boisseau
died after serving a total of forty-two years in Lexington.
This service and dedication to education are an example for those of us who
are privileged to work with children.
In closing, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the cooperation,
understanding and support given me by the school committee, all of the school
personnel, town officials, parents and citizens in carrying out my responsibilities
as superintendent of your public schools.
Respectfully submitted,

RETIREMENT RESOLUTIONS
Manfred L. Warren
WHEREAS, throughout your 36 years of devoted service to the
youth of Lexington you have maintained a personal
integrity which has been, perhaps, best displayed by your
courage in maintaining high standards and requiring
them of others, and
WHEREAS, your keen insight and wisdom have made your advice
sought and valued by students, laymen, and your pro-
fessional associates, and
WHEREAS, you have continued to grow in and make continually
greater contributions to your chosen profession, and
WHEREAS, your devotion to your most recent responsibilities has
contributed largely to the improvement of the secondary
school curriculum and the strengthening of the profes-
sional staff, and
WHEREAS, you are now entering a time when you can at last
turn inward to your home and family and enjoy a period
of well- deserved rest from the demands of a grateful
community,
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED THAT, we, the members of the
Lexington School Committee, do express the deepest
respect and affection of the town for you and for your
work here, coupled with a wish for your happiness over
many years of retirement.
Margaret J. Leake
WHEREAS, you have, over your thirty -one years of service to
the youth of Lexington, given them a deeper under-

language you so ably taught, and
WHEREAS, your insistence on the highest standards has con-
tributed to the success of many Lexington students in
the field of foreign language, and
WHEREAS, you have been held in the highest esteem by your
fellow teachers, noted for your sincerity and genuine
interest in your pupils, your keen sense of humor, and
your loyalty and devotion to duty,
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that we, the members of the
