REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN December 31, 1963 39 To the Citizens of Lexington: The year 1963 is now a matter of history. We look back on a year of growth and progress. The 250th anniversary celebration took place on April 19th and was a huge success due to the efforts of many of our citizens. On April 29, 1963 Mr. Alan G. Adams, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, submitted his resignation from the Board. On June 17, 1963 a special election was held and Mr. George C. Sheldon was elected to serve the remainder of Mr. Adams' term. Mr. Lincoln P. Cole, Jr. was elected Chairman of the Board of Selectmen. The Board of Selectmen also acts as the Board of Public Works. Considerable progress was made during the year by the Public Works Department. We refer you to the detail report by the Superintendent of Public Works a little further on in this report. The Board of Selectmen in February hired Mr. Albert Gray, Jr. as Executive Assistant to the Board. Mr. Gray will devote his time to personnel and budget work. He will also relieve the Board of many routine administrative duties. The Wage Classification and Salary Plan was completed and implemented during 1963. All employees are now classified according to their particular job and a salary schedule in effect in line with their responsibilities and duties. The contract for the Woodhaven trunk sewer was awarded during the year and the work expected to start late in 1964. The refuse disposal site on Hartwell Avenue was completed and put into limited operation. It is expected that the Lincoln Street site will be closed during 1964 and the Hartwell Avenue site in full operation. The Board appointed a Route 3 Advisory Committee to keep the Board of Selectmen and the citizens in close contact with developments on the location of Route 3. Several meetings were held with the State Department of Public Works to keep up with the latest information from that department. Selectman Robert Cataldo, Chairman, and Otis S. Brown, Jr. represent the Board on this committee. The Board appointed an Executive Park Development Committee to help expedite the development of land already zoned for business and industrial use. Selectman George C. Sheldon represents the Board of Selectmen and is Chairman of this committee. A consultant has been hired by the Board to develop plans for the overall developrhent of the Center playground area. These plans are to be ready for the Board early in 1964. The Board is interested in an orderly planned development of the area. 40 BOARD OF SELECTMEN The Traffic Study Committee of the Board of Selectmen met numerous times during the year to discuss traffic problems facing the Town and to advise the Board on the best method of handling them. Selectman Levi G. Burnell is Chairman of this committee. The Board of Selectmen held forty -eight regular meetings during the year. In addition, many special meetings were held on planning, budgets, and other subjects affecting the welfare and growth of the Town. The Board wishes to express its appreciation to the Town Meeting Members Association for its help and cooperation during the year. To the Town employees and citizens who have devoted many hours to the Town we express our sincere thanks. Respectfully submitted, LINCOLN P. COLE, JR., Chairman OTIS S. BROWN, JR. LEVI G.

The estimated valuation of the per- mits was $1,408,672.00 more than the previous year, but unfortunately over 3 million of the total valuation is represented by the additions to the High School, the new Armory, and the Religious Educational Building, all buildings that will bring no tax dollars to the Town. Demolitions and house re- locations were again high, representing the pro- posed widening of Route 2, tho Cambridge- Concord Turnpike. The number of swimming pools, ten, were just double the year before. A total of 76 complaints was received by the Department this year. This was an increase of 27% over the past year. Some, as usual, after investigation, were found to have no basis for complaint, but in cases where justification for the com- plaint existed, in that there was a violation, the conditions were corrected usually after a letter from this Department to the proper parties, although a small number have had to be referred to the Town Counsel for suggested legal action. A few of these are quite involved and will probably require some time before correc- tions are accomplished. As pointed out in previous annual reports, more and more of the Department's time is taken up in the investigation and work involved with these complaints, and all too often at the expense of what I feel is the primary purpose of the Building Department. 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.

With the building of Temple Emunah and Temple Isaiah, Emerson Garden Apartments, and the additions to the High School, plus the drive by Boston Edison to increase the services to the homes, all in all, it has been a busy year.

In the natural disaster area emphasis has been placed on the development of emergency plans for use in the event of extensive hurricane or tornado damage. Shelter is the core of Civil Defense. First emphasis must be given to the movement of people into the best shelter available to them at any time; this is of itself, a broad effort involving not only obtaining shelters and making them ready, but also planning their usc, including: assignment, population movement, warning, shelter management, and so on. All Civil Defense programming is related to, and built on, the shelter base. Shelters The 1962 Army Engineers Shelter Survey showed Lexington with 17,353 use- able spaces and 21,435 additional spaces which would be available with some build- ing modifications. During 1963, 9,411 of these spaces were stocked with emer- gency food, water containers, medical, and sanitation supplies. These supplies were furnished, with no cost to the Town, by the Department of Defense and have a Federal cost value of $22,774.62. Supplies for an additional 1,000 shelter spaces valued at $2,420.00 are presently at the South Boston Naval Shipyard waiting to be moved into shelters in Lexington. Transportation and man- power for the moving of these shelter supplies from the shipyard into the Lexington shelters has been furnished by the Lexington Public Works Department with an assist from the Transportation Section at Hanscom Field. New construction presently under way or completed during 1963 will add approximately 1800 new shelter spaces to the inventory previously located. One PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY 155 thousand of these spaces will be located in the National Guard Armory. This will be the first National Guard Building in the country to have fallout shelter space designed into the original plans. Passage of House Bill 8200 by Congress, which is expected early in 1964, will provide Federal Funds to pay for the additional cost of construction needed to include shelter space in the construction of new public buildings. In addition, it will provide funds for modification of existing buildings to provide shelter space or to increase the capacity of existing shelter space within these buildings. Warning System Completion of a town -wide emergency warning system scheduled to be installed in the spring of 1964 will, for the first time, provide adequate waming for most of Lexington's citizens. A system to provide such warning is a key need if maximum effective use of the community fallout shelters is to be achieved under emergency conditions. Reserve Officers Eleven reserve officers representing the Army, Navy, and Air Force have been assigned to the Lexington Department of Civil Defense to assist in the development of the programs. These men bring a wide range of military and business back- grounds to the Lexington Civil Defense Program and have been engaged for the past six months in the development of plans for the most effective use of available shelter space. Auxiliary Services The Auxiliary Fire Department continuos to be the strongest organization of volunteers within the Civil Defense Organization. This group of eighteen men meet once a week for training and drill. rerscr.r:el assist and back up the Lex- ington Fire Department during busy periods. The Communication Service also has functioned throughout the year at drills and tests. This group would be needed for emergency communications in the event of a major emergency. Surplus Property During 1963, the Town of Lexington received $45,992.04 of Federal Surplus property. Among the large items received was a surplus Rescue Truck from Hans- com Air Base which has been completely rebuilt with volunteer labor and equipped with a 10KW surplus generator. It is presently in use by the Fire Department. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR E. BURRELL, Director of Civil Defense PLANNING AND RECREATION REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD December 31, 1963 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 157 In March of 1963, the Planning Board published a report entitled "Phase I: Summary Report." This report reviews the Board's philosophy, states results of studies, and makes specific recommendations for future action. In effect, this report is a portion of the "master plan" and all interested citizens are urged to obtain a copy at the Planning Board office. Because the "Phase I: Summary Re- port" is comprehensive and was recently published, this annual report will be confined to a few selected items. Zoning The Board this year was primarily concerned with work on a complete revi- sion of the Zoning By -Laws affecting general and local business districts. Proposed major revisions to be presented for the Town's consideration in the future will in part include: modification of existing C 1 uses; creation of a new, so- called "Trade - man's Park" district; and creation of a "neighborhood business" district. As part of their major revisions, the Board has already presented, and the recent Special Town Meeting has already voted, zoning legislation to create a new "Small Office District (C 4). Conservation Commission The Board supported an article at the recent Special Town Meeting to create a Town Conservation Commission. Under the law the Lexington Conservation Com- mission is charged with several responsibilities closely allied to those of the Plan- ning Board. After members of the Commission have been appointed by the Select- men, the Planning Board looks forward to cooperating and working with the newly formed Commission. Planning Director The employment of Samuel P. Snow, Planning Director since 1954, terminated June, 1963. The Board hopes from time to time to draw upon Mr. Snow's special talents, thorough understanding of the Town, and complete familiarity of the Town's planning needs in his new capacity as independent planning consultant. 158 PLANNING AND RECREATION Since June, 1963 the Board has been actively seekin: a full -time replacement for Mr. Snow and the Bcard is now acutely aware of the need, importance, and desirability of obtaining the full -time services of a professional planner. The Planning Board greatly appreciates the cooperation given this year by other Town Boards, the League of Women Voters, the Town Meeting Members Associa- tion, and developers. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT E. MEYER, Chairman ARTHUR E. BRYSON JOSEPH A. CAMPBELL ROLAND B. GREELEY IRVING H. MABEE Lexington Planning Board REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE December 31, 1963 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 1963. The committee met ten times and went on three field trips during the year. There were also joint meetings with the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee, the Appropriation Committee and the Planning Board, during which the delibera- tions of the committee members 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. Near future planning involves the completion of the land development of the Center Playground north of Worthen Road and the start of the development of the Baskin area where an acre of land will be available for public recreation this spring. Requested appropriations include the preliminary development of the Harrington, Hennessey and Liberty Heights areas. It is the committees' policy and intention to develop recreation areas in various parts of the Town on public lands. It is expected that the extent and expansion of these facilities will depend on the amount of land and on the use and interest citizens of the particular area exhibit in the development. PLANNING AND RECREATION 159 Improvement and expansion of facilities include the planned hot topping of tennis courts in the Center and East Playgrounds, the relocation of two Junior size base- ball fields in the Center Playground as well as the completion of the new ladies' locker room building at the swimming pool. The original building was remodeled and is used for men's facilities exclusively. A warming hut for skaters was built at the Lexington Reservoir by the Jr. Charnber of Commerce with approval and appreciation of the Recreation Committee. Ice skating areas were expanded to in- clude the Harrington School and Muzzey Junior High School. The program was expanded as follows: Family swim sessions on Sunday afternoons were held for the first time in the history of the pool and proved highly successful, with more than 2,000 entries taking place on seven Sundays. The nightly swim hours were changed from women — 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. and men — 7:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. to a mixed swim period 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. (for men and women). This proved very popular and was partly responsible in setting a new pool record for 1963. In the winter programs, extra sessions have been added to the ladies' and men's gym classes. The programs now start in November instead of January. The following table compares the attendance on Lexington's playgrounds dur- ing the last three years: Playgrounds Arts & Crafts Swimming Pool 1961 1962 1963 1 3,704 1 2,595 1 2,874 6,021 7,025 7,212 21,689 18,538 24,287 9 weeks 9 weeks 10 weeks Arts & Crafts classes were slightly higher than last year and set a new high. Despite the very warm summer, playground attendance was very good. The swim- ming pool broke the all -time record for attendance with 24,287 entries. The old record was 23,094 set in 1957. Sunday family swimming entries totalled 2,012 for seven and is not figured in the record of 24,287. A new phase of inter - playground activity was introduced with all competition being held at the Center where the major playground facilities were used. The girls' volley ball matches were held on Mondays and Wednesdays with swimming following. The boys' baseball (senior and junior) games were held on Tuesdays and Thursdays followed by swimming and water polo matches in the pool. This sched- ule gave all children the opportunity to swim during the summer and still have each playground covered by one of the instructors in order to carry out daily programs. The contests were held in the morning during the cooler temperatures and all teams reported back to their respective playgrounds for afternoon sessions. 160 PLANNING AND RECREATION Attendance Figures of 1963 Center 4,021 East (Adams) 3,207 North (Parker) 2,061 Harrington 1,814 Hastings 1,771 12,874 (1) The playgrounds opened Monday, June 24, 1963 and closed Friday, August 23, 1963.

The committee wishes to thank those citizens who have volunteered their serv- ices to support the various recreation programs. The various Town departments have been extremely co- operative particularly the Park Department and the Public Works Office. The Town has continued to benefit by the close co- operation with the School Department which has resulted in an increasing use of school property by the general public for recreation purposes. Mr. Adolph Samborski's resignation as Director of Recreation was accepted with deep regret and effective June 1, 1963, Benedict Bertini was appointed his suc- cessor. The committee feels the Town is fortunate to have such well qualified men available for a part -time position. Respectfully submitted, COLBY E. KELLY, Chairman RICHARD S.

Meetings The Board meets the fourth Thursday of every month, with the exception of the month of August, at 7:30 P.M. in the Selectmen's Room or the Health Depart- ment Office. In 1963 ten regular meetings and two special meetings were held. Licenses The Board granted licenses and permits as follows: Animal Permits (including poultry) 41 Child Care Centers 0 Funeral Directors 6 Garbage Disposal 4 Methyl Alcohol 10 Milk License — Store 27 Milk License — Vehicle 24 Nursing Homes 4 Oleomargarine Registrations 17 Poultry Slaughtering House License 1 Rubbish Disposal 9 Sewage Disposal 7 A permit is required for keeping horses, cows, goats, swine and poultry. All residents are urged to comply with the regulation in this regard. All Child Care Centers operated under their 1962 licenses during 1963 pending the adoption of new State Regulations and the appointing of the Lexington Board of Health as the Licensing Agent by the State Health Department. Communicable Diseases Chickenpox 135 Dog Bites 174 Dysentery, Bacillary 1 Encephalitis Infection 1 German Measles 85 Hepatitis, Infectious 4 Measles 13 Meningitis, Streptococcal 1 Mumps 128 Salmonella 20 Scarlet Fever 24 Streptococcal Sore Throat 123 Whooping Cough 1 A total of 1313 cases of Communicable Diseases were reported in 1962 as compared to 711 in 1963. According to law all Communicable Diseases must be reported either by the attending physician or by parent or guardian. The reporting of one case of Whooping Cough, the first in many years, should make Lexington parents aware of the importance of the Booster -dose Program for School Children held in April. Three residents and one visitor in Lexington were placed under surveillance as contacts of Cholera and Smallpox while on international travel. The Lexington Visiting Nurse assisting the Health Department made periodic visits to these con- tacts until the surveillance order was over. PUBLIC SERVICES 169 Lexington Visiting Nurse Association The Lexington Visiting Nurse Association made 1256 house visits on behalf of the Health Department: These calls were as follows: Communicable Diseases 515 Tuberculosis 82 Health Supervision: Infants under 1 year 167 Pre - school children 458 School Children 34 The Lexington Visiting Nurse Association and the School Department Nurses assisted the Health Department in the following Clinics: Oral Sabin Clinics (children and adults) 18 Diphtheria, Tetanus Clinic 1 Influenza Clinic for Town Personnel 1 Medical Emergency Service The Medical Emergency Service has proved very satisfactory. Any person can obtain a physician in case of emergency 24 hours a day by calling the Police De- partment, Fire Department or dialing VO 2 -8282. Premature Infants There were 16 premature infant births reported to the Health Department in 1963. According to State Law, the Board of Health must pay for the hospitalization of a premature infant if the family is found to be in need. One case qualified to receive assistance in the expense of special premature infant care. Health Information Special notices were produced and distributed along with newspaper advertising to assure increased communication to the citizens. In the Spring of 1963 a Bulletin with Health information for the parent and homeowner was printed and distributed by the courtesy of the merchants. Rabies Clinic The annual Rabies Clinic was held in May and of the 2270 dogs licensed in Lexington for 1963, 860 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 continued in 1963 by the Board of Health. Type I and Type III vaccine was offered at make -up clinics for all who 170 PUBLIC SERVICES missed these clinics in 1962. Type II was distributed to all pre - school and school children to complete the series of the Oral Vaccine. A total of approximately 12,500 children have now received prolonged immunity by participating in the Oral Sabin Vaccine Program. A total of approximately 5000 adults participated in the Oral Sabin Program conducted by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Lions Club and the Rotary Club under the sponsorship of the Board of Health. Diphtheria Tetanus Clinic A total of 360 pre - school and school children received Booster doses of Diphtheria, Tetanus Vaccine. Due to the increase in population the Board of Health has now set -up a program whereby all pre - schoolers entering first grade, fifth grade students and tenth grade students will be offered a Booster dose of Diphtheria, Tetanus vaccine annually. This will provide an opportunity for receiving Booster doses every five years as recommended by the State Department of Public Health. Influenza Clinic At the request of the School Health Services an Influenza Clinic was conducted by the Board of Health for all Town Employees and School Personnel in December, 1963. Pre- School Eye Screening Program In cooperation with the Pre - School Parent Teachers Association and the Lex- ington Lions Club the Lexington Health Department participated in a Pre - School Eye Screening Program for children three and one -half to six years of age. Of the 186 children screened 5 were referred to their private physicians for further treatment. Glaucoma Clinic In cooperation with the Lexington Lions Club and the Massachusetts Division of the Blind, the Health Department participated in a Glaucoma Screening Program in June, 1963. All patients were notified of the results of the screening and patients with any abnormalties were advised to consult their private physicians for further treatment. Of the 406 people screened 20 were referred for further treat- ment and 33 were advised to be tested for glasses or have their present glasses checked. Hard of Hearing Mobile Unit During the first two weeks of May, residents were given an opportunity to have their hearing tested. The Hearing Impairment Detection Study, being made for the United States Public Health Service, was conducted by the Boston Guild for the Hard of Hearing with the cooperation of the Lexington Health Department. A total of 61 individuals were tested and offered free medical examinations. Every person tested had some degree of hearing loss. PUBLIC SERVICES 171 Dental Clinic The Dental Clinic continues to operate with the same personnel: Mrs. Frances Porter, Dental Hygienist, Dr. Thomas Bane and Dr. Erwin Brilliant, local dentists employed 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 and, the dental buttons introduced last year as a stimulus, have been most successful. Fifty -eight percent (58 %) of all elementary children submitted a certificate, this is an increase of 10 percentage points over the previous year. Banners and letters of commendation from the Board of Health were presented to five classrooms in which every child submitted a certificate. Dental Health education continues to be an important phase of the Dental Hygienist's work. Posters were distributed to all elementary schools and an eye - catching dental display provided in each school during National Childrens Dental Health Week. Motion pictures and filmstrips stressing Dental Health have been shown in all 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 complied with in regard to X -Ray equipment and films used in the Clinic. Report of the Dental Hygienist Dental screening examinations were completed in all elementary schools except Franklin and Estabrook, which are incomplete. There were 3,457 children examined and 485 defect notices mailed. Those pupils undergoing dental treatment at the time of the screening, were not issued notices. The Dental Health Program for the past year included: Classroom Talks (Grades 1 -4) 184 School Visits 220 Conferences 18 Oral Prophylaxis 9 Operative Report of the Dental Clinic School Patients Fillings -537 Extractions -45 Treatments Exams Deciduous Perm.

Upon recommendation of the Appropriation Committee, the Board of Selectmen voted to cancel the funds appropriated to conduct this clinic. However, a special appropriation by Town 'Meeting 'Members enabled the Board of Health to complete the clinic work started in September of 1962 to June, 1963 (the school year). This enabled the pupils who had begun corrective physical therapy to complete the program. The Lexington Board of Health wishes to thank Mrs. Gertrude Flynn and all the volunteer Parent Teachers Association members who have given so freely of their time in carrying out the work of this Clinic. Mystic Valley Children's Clinic The Board of Health assumed the responsibility of dispensing the funds, for Lexington patients, granted to the Mystic Valley Mental Health Association — Children's Clinic by special warrant at Town Meeting. Mr. James M. West was appointed to the Board of Directors as a representative of the Board of Health for this Clinic. The clinic is located at 22 Muzzey Street, Lexington, and provides mental health services for children and their parents of Arlington, Bedford, Lexington, Winchester and Woburn. Each Town is assessed according to their population. Referrals are made to the clinic by physicians, the clergy, school personnel, and law enforcement officers or a parent may call the clinic direct. No child is ever seen without the parents full participation and approval. The clinic staff consists of a director, psychologists, two social workers and two part -time mental health coordinators. The operational report for Lexington residents is as follows: Total number of applications (all towns) 172 Lexington Residents: Applications for clinical services 43 Diagnostic or treatment interviews 175 Interview hours 217 Additional hours spent on conferences & telephone contacts 335 Hours spent in consultation 102 Sources of referrals 43 Schools 22 Medical 14 Self 7 NOTE: The above figures are for the six month period from July 1 - December 31, 1963, at which time a reorganization of the clinic was made.

Respectfully submitted, RUFUS L. McQUILLAN, Chairman 174 PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE HEALTH OFFICER December 31, 1963 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The following is the report of the Executive Health Officer for the year 1963. Laboratory The Health Department Laboratory was certified by the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Health to perform bacteriological analysis of milk, water, and eating and drinking utensils. Routine laboratory analysis of milk and multi -use restaurant utensils was performed with the supplementary testing services of the Food In- dustries 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 Com- mission Water Laboratory and the Lawrence Experimental Laboratory of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Basic laboratory materials including media plates and incubating service was provided for use by the School Health Services in classroom demonstrations relating to personnel hygiene. Food Sanitation All eating establishments including hotels, restaurants, and school cafeterias were routinely inspected for maintenance of sanitary standards and for proper methods of storage, preparation, and dispensing of foods. Food markets, bakeries, and catering establishments were inspected for maintenance of sanitary standards and for safe practices of handling and 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 396 samples collected and tested 47 or 8% were over the accepted standard. Owners or managers were notified to correct these deficiencies. Milk Sanitation There were twenty -four licenses issued for 1963 to milk dealers supplying the Town of Lexington. One - hundred and ninety -seven random samples representative of all dealers were collected for laboratory analysis. All samples were negative for the presence of phosphatase indicating proper pasteurization. Sixteen samples exceeded the legal standard for a colony plate count, and fifty -four samples exceeded the legal standard for the coliform count. Notices of deficiencies and re- sampling of products was carried out when standards were above the legal limit. Three licensees were notified by registered mail that any further violation of the sanitary standards would result in a revocation of license. Water Analysis The public water supply was tested weekly by the Metropolitan District PUBLIC SERVICES 175 Commission Water Laboratory. Additional tests of the public supply were made in two homes by request of the householders. All tests showed the public water supply free from contamination. Two well -water supplies on private property were tested and both were found contaminated. The owners of the contaminated wells were notified not to use the supply for drinking or culinary purposes. Seven public and community swimming pools were routinely tested for residual chlorine and hydrogen -ion concentration to determine the level maintained for continuous disinfection. One was 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. Four 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 One hundred and thirty (130) applications were approved for sewage disposal systems. Approximately three hundred lot inspections were made to determine grading, soil conditions, sub - surface water levels and suitability for private sewage disposal systems. One hundred and seven 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 sent to 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 three subdivisions submitted to the Board of Health for approval during 1963. All were approved for complete development on the basis that public sewerage and water supplies would be provided in the development. Housing Three dwellings were inspected to determine compliance with the minimum standards of fitness for habitation as established by the State Sanitary Code. Two were found lacking in basic facilities and were condemned. Child Care Centers Fourteen Child Care Centers were operated under extension of their 1962 license and one Center was closed after the property and buildings were taken by the State Department of Public Works for use in enlarging the Route 2 Highway. A legislative enactment adopted on January 1, 1963 placed the licensing of Child Care Centers under the authority and direction of the Massachusetts Depart- 176 PUBLIC SERVICES ment of Public Health. That Department, under date of June 11, 1963 designated the Lexington Board of Health as their licensing agent for the Town. A new set of regulations have been adopted by the Massachusetts Department of Health and will govern all licenses issued and renewed in the coming year. School Health Services The Board of Health is responsible for the communicable disease regulations pertaining to school pupils and school personnel. The School Health Services and the Board of Health cooperated in effecting the immunization program for pupils and the physical examination requirements for teachers. The Health Officer participated in personnel hygiene programs conducted by School Nurses and the Veterinary Officer provided consultation service on the care and treatment of laboratory animals. Complaints and Nuisances One hundred and fifty -five complaints of conditions considered detrimental or hazardous were received during 1963. A breakdown of complaints received is as follows: 51 Exposed sewage wastes 47 Rubbish and garbage nuisances 18 Drainage problems 12 Animal and fowl complaints 5 Safety hazards 7 Noxious weeds and odors 15 General information All complaints were investigated and evaluated and corrections were obtained by written notices to property owners or occupants. Rubbish and Garbage The disposal of rubbish at the Municipal Dump on Lincoln Street was continued, using the area - landfill method. Inspections showed that the operating area was attended daily and that clean fill was used to cover filled areas. No evidence of insect or rodent infestations was found. The disposal of rubbish on the new dump site on Hartwell Avenue was started in the early fall. The area has been maintained in good sanitary condition. The inadequacy of the household garbage collection and resulting insanitary conditions was brought to the attention of the Board of Selectmen in August. The Board of Selectmen appointed a Committee consisting of the Executive Assistant of the Selectmen, the Superintendent of Public Works, and the Executive Health Officer to meet with members of the Town Meeting Association and prepare a report with recommendations for needed changes in the service. The Committee held three meetings and discussed the present waste disposal methods and possible changes and needs of the future. It was concluded and reported to the Board of Selectmen that the immediate needs could be served by a more stringent garbage contract with the likely result of an increased cost. Investigation had shown that the Town expenditure for waste disposal service was low in comparison to similar communities in the area. The PUBLIC SERVICES 177 Superintendent of Public Works prepared a report for the Board of Selectmen and drew up a new contract designed to gain greater control over the service to be performed under a new garbage contract. Insect and Rodent Control Twenty complaints of rat infestation and ten complaints of mosquito breeding were received in 1963. Rodent inspections were made to determine conditions providing harborage and food supply and recommendations were made for ex- termination and control. Mosquito nuisance complaints were referred to the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project for investigation and correction. Animal and Fowl Permits Forty -one permits to keep domestic animals and fowl were issued in 1963. Initial inspections were made to determine land area and facilities available with consideration for neighborhood abutters. Follow -up inspections were made to determine compliance with sanitation regulations. Four applications for permits were denied by the Board after inspection showed that location and facilities were not adequate to assure that nuisances would not be caused. 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, and were certified by the Board of Health for renewal of licenses. All licensed homes were found well maintained and operated. One deficiency in lighting and egress requirements were brought to the attention of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Farm Labor Camps Seven buildings used to house migratory farm workers were inspected by the Health Officer and the District Sanitary Officer 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. 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 acknowl- edged. Respectfully submitted, JAMES F. FINNERAN, Executive Health Officer 178 PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS December 31, 1963 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 1963. 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. The following table shows comparison of employee personnel as of December 31st over the past five years: 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 Administration 2 2 3 3 3 Engineering 7 8 9 7 9 Clerical 5 6 6 6 6 Park Department 13 15 16 15 16 Janitors 3 3 3 3 3 Public Works Department 35 34 35 34 36 65 68 72 68 73 STREET CONSTRUCTION — SUNDRY STREETS: On August 7, 1963 a contract was awarded to L. Coletti & Sons, Inc. for the construction of certain streets and drains. The amount of the contract was $134,921.65. The streets included in this contract, which were done under betterments were: Drainage Street Length Length Size Ames Avenue 600' 50' 12" Drew Avenue 270' 20' 12" Eastern Avenue 1135' 619' 12" 65' 15" Freemont Street 1290' 380' 6" 795' 12" Manning Street 505' 10' 6" 263' 12" Volunteer Way 481' 365' 12" 4281 Ft. 2972 Ft. PUBLIC SERVICES 179 STREET CONSTRUCTION —CAPITAL OUTLAY Included in the above contract was the work of reconstructing portions of Lowell Street between East Street and Woburn Street. The drainage in these sections has been completed and one section of road has been widened. The entire project will be completed in the spring of 1964 Lowell Street 1970' 1695' 12" drain CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION: No actual Chapter 90 construction work was done during 1963. The appropriation of $50,000. was held over so it could be combined with 1964 funds to be used on Mass. Avenue reconstruction starting at the Arlington Line and proceeding towards the Center. CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE: On July 29, 1963 a contract was signed with Warren Brothers Roads Company in the amount of $44,975.00. Part of the work in the contract included the following streets under Chapter 90 maintenance: Street Length Wood Street 665' Watertown Street 1122' Maple Street 744' 2431 Feet CURBING: The amount of $5,000. was appropriated in 1963 for the installa- tion of granite curbing. This is the amount which has been appropriated for the past several years. A breakdown of this work follows: Location Waltham Street Hancock School Drive Length 415' 167' Intersection of Hillside Ave. and Ledgelawn Ave. 157' Lowell Street 630' Reed Street 85' 1454 Feet SANITARY LAND FILL: In 1963 the dump at Lincoln Street was operated as a modified sanitary land fill. As has been the procedure of the past several years, all contractors doing Town work were required to bring excess fill to the dump. This has helped keep the purchase of fill down. but more fill must be purchased yearly to keep the operation neat and the refuse well covered. Covering is a must in operating a sanitary land fill. 180 PUBLIC SERVICES With the exception of certain holidays, the dump is open every day. The dump is closed on the following holidays: New Year's Day, 'Easter Sunday, April 19th, May 30th, July 4th, Labor Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The contract with the exterminator was continued with monthly service calls being made. The new dump site at Hartwell Avenue is being developed in preparation of the closing of the Lincoln Street dump. It appears that the transfer will be made sometime in 1964. GARBAGE COLLECTION: In 1963 was the second and final year of the present two year garbage contract. The amount the Town is paying is $38,000. per year. Piggeries are rapidly disappearing in all cities and towns around Boston. There are none now in Lexington. This means that we can not get local contractors to dispose of the garbage. Furthermore the State now requires that all garbage that is fed to pigs be cooked prior to feeding. This has increased the cost of garbage to the point where it has driven many piggeries out of business and has raised the cost of collection considerably. The quality of the service has been very poor. This is in spite of the fact that we have given full co- operation to the contractor at all times. On April 30, 1964 the present contract will expire. We are now in the process of writing specifications which will be much more rigid than any previous contract. We feel the result will be much greater. Early estimates run as high as $60,000. SNOW REMOVAL: There are two basic costs of snow removal. First, there are the costs which can be directly attributed to each storm such as snow plowing, sidewalk plowing, removal of snow from business areas, churches, schools, etc., and the salting and sanding that is done directly before, during and after the storm. All these costs are lumped together and referred to as the cost of a particular storm. Secondly, there are the many other costs which occur during the year such as sanding and salting in ice storms, quick freezes, which require sanding, our weather service which is invaluable, the purchase of equipment such as chains, plows, plow blades, bolts, etc. Many of these latter expenditures occur during the Summer months. We prepare for the Winter many months before it arrives. In 1963 we experienced several icy conditions. In a Winter such as occurred during January, February and March people tend to forget because of the lack of snow. However, the cost of keeping the roads, sidewalks and school areas safe for driving and walking is great. Much work is done on sanding and salting which makes heavy Spring work in sweeping sand off the streets and patching pot holes.

In 1961 this improvement was carried down to the Junior High School near Rowland Avenue, in 1962 to Marrett Road and in 1963 to Pleasant Street. We hope to continue these lights in 1964 to the Arlington Line. Thirty -four 800 lumen lights, 17 — 2,500 lumen lights and 8 — 6,000 lumen lights were removed during the year. Forty -six 1,000 lumen, 4 — 3,500 lumen, 1 — 4,000 lumen, 1 — 7,000 lumen, 78 — 1 1,000 lumen M. V., 7 — 20,000 co lumen M. V. lights were installed so currently lamps in service are as follows: 800 Lumen 1139 1,000 832 2,500 99 3,500 4 4,000 32 NErr 6,000 29 7,000 1 10,000 5 11,000 " M.V. 112 tri 20,000 " M.V. 51 tf) STREET SIGNS: In 1963 the department continued its program of making our own street signs. This year 62 street signs were replaced or newly installed. Two large wooden signs for the Center Playground area on Worthen Road as well as a new Town Offices Directory sign, also of wood, were made by the department. N TRAFFIC REGULATION AND CONTROL: The main item in this budget is the painting of street lines, crosswalks and other traffic control markings on the pave- ment. During the year many of these street lines and crosswalks were painted twice. The approximate number or linear footage painted is shown below. Center Lines 64,200 8,750 Ft. Curbing 1,475 Ft. Parking Tees 161 Do not Enter 8 Stop Signs and Lines 44 Bus Stops 8 Boys 8 Slow Signs 10 Do Not Park 4 Police Traffic Circles 3 Taxi Stands 3 The department maintained the traffic signal lights on Mass. Avenue at Wal- tham Street, Locust Avenue and near the Adams School and Bedford Street at Worthen Road. All other traffic signal lights in Lexington come under the State Department of Public Works. The department also made many temporary traffic PUBLIC SERVICES 185 control signs for use while construction was going on. These included such signs as "Road Closed ", "Road Under Construction ", "Detour ", etc. There were 79 other traffic signs made. These included speed limit signs, parking signs, one way, stop signs and various others for the control of traffic and protection of pedestrians. ROAD MACHINERY: During the year the following pieces of equipment were purchased and received by the department: 1.) Three - quarter ton Pick -up Truck with Utility Body 2.) Three - quarter ton Pick -up Truck 3.) 125 C.F.M. Portable Compressor 4.) Half -ton Pick -up Truck 5.) 36,000 G.V.M. Dump Truck 6.) One -ton Power Roller 7.) Sidewalk Tractor SIDEWALKS: Two contracts were awarded by the Board of Selectmen for the construction of bituminous concrete sidewalks. One contract in the amount of $16,323 was awarded to Belli Bros., Inc., who constructed the following sidewalk: Street Length Grove Street 5660' The second contract for $7,812.50 was awarded to Chris Coviello Co., who did the following sidewalks: Street Length Wood Street 2315' Lincoln Street 619' Woburn Street 2032' Emerson Road 257' 5223 Feet As part of a street contract to L. Coletti & Sons, Inc., a bituminous concrete sidewalk was constructed on Lowell Street: Lowell Street 2255' Total 13,138 Feet HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE: In 1963 the department maintained 97.97 miles of public ways. This represents an increase of 4.23 miles over 1962. Among the many varied operations which fall under this category are the fol- lowing: 186 PUBLIC SERVICES 1.) Street Cleaning. The department's two mechanical street sweepers were on the move almost every day. During the Spring a combination of sweepers, front end loader and trucks cleaned up the heavy sand accumulated during icy Winter conditions. Hand sweeping and cleaning were also done in the Center, on main streets and the municipal parking lots. 2.) Pavement Maintenance. In addition to patching holes during the Winter and Spring, there is a great deal of work required to maintain our ever increasing system of streets. Such permanent maintenance includes seal coating, machine re- surfacing with bituminous concrete, etc. The following list of streets were sealed by Town forces in 1963: Location Length Simonds Road — Preston Rd. to Burlington St. 1641' Hancock Street — Burlington St. to Coolidge Ave. 1313' Patriots Drive 1102' Coolidge Avenue 1490' Grant Street —East St. to Hayes Lane 4600' Concord Avenue — Pleasant St. to Benjamin Rd. (Chap. 90 Maint.) 8300' Intersection — Hancock Ave., Coolidge Ave., Revere St. 500' Total 18,946 Feet In addition to sealing with bituminous asphalt and treated stone, various streets were resurfaced with bituminous ccncrete under a contract awarded to Warren Brothers Roads Company. This contract, handled entirely by the Town Engineer's Office, was in the amount of $44.975. The following list of streets, with the exception of Chapter 90 streets, were re- surfaced under this contract. Location Length Gould Road 774' Parker Street 1382' Burlington Street 3848' East Street 209' Woburn Street 207' Lawrence Lane 497' Maple Street 744' Watertown Street 1122' Shade Street 4049' Wood Street 665' Total 13,497 Feet Also under this contract the Hancock School and Fiske School drives and park- ing areas were paved. PUBLIC SERVICES 187 3.) Drain and Brook Cleaning. In 1963 all of our catch basins were cleaned at least once. Some were cleaned twice for a total of 3,263 catch basins. Several drain systems were flushed and /or cleaned with our bucket machine. During the Winter months approximately 4500' of brooks were cleaned with our backhoe or by hand labor. 4.) Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance. The program of repairing and maintain- ing sidewalks was continued during 1963. Two contracts were awarded to Warren Brothers Roads Company and Celluci Construction Company respectively. The con- tracts were handled entirely by the Town Engineer's Office The following sidewalks were resurfaced with bituminous concrete by Warren Brothers Roads Company: 'Location Length Hancock Street 1749' Harrington Road & Mass. Ave. 2024' Meriam Street 1798' Oak Street 1020' Waltham Street 561' Maple Street 491' Percy Road 602' Total 8245 Feet Celluci Construction Company's contract included excavation and replacement of sections of concrete sidewalks in various sections of Town such as Hancock Street, Mass. Avenue, Bedford Street, Forest Street and Waltham Street. Where necessary, sections of curbing were repaired or replaced in connection with these contracts. 5.) Miscellaneous Maintenance: In addition to the major work mentioned prev- iously, there were many other smaller maintenance projects during the year, such as roadside mowing, installation and repair of guardrails and fences, miscellaneous drain construction, parking lot maintenance, minor reconstruction and widening of intersections, etc. DRAIN CONSTRUCTION: (Contract).

Additional work included removing, repairing and testing 354 meters and replacing them. SERVICE CALLS: Four hundred thirty -six water and sewer estimates were given and 322 of these were paid to be installed. 1634 service calls were made tc houses and 502 contractors calls. PUBLIC SERVICES 191 WATER TREATMENT: During 1963 four concrete underground pits were built at the 4 locations where the Town receives M.D.C. water. These stations are located at Waltham Street near Concord Avenue, Mass. Avenue near the Lex- ington- Arlington Town Line, Watertown Street near Route 2 and Summer Street near the Lexington - Arlington Town Line. These pits are equipped with pumps and tanks for introducing 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 coating the inner walls of these pipes. Thus far this treatment, approved by the State Board of Public Health, has proved itself in that the num- ber of "Rusty water" calls has been greatly reduced. DISTRIBUTING MAINS: Water main breaks and leaks were repaired in various streets throughout the Town, as indicated below: Street Size of Main Bedford Street 6" Concord Avenue 12" Independence Avenue 6" Bellflower Street 6" Burlington Street 6" East Street 12" Forest Court 6" Bedford Street 12" Kendall Road 6" Westview Street 12" Fessenden Way 8" Garfield Street 6" Lincoln Terrace 6" Concord Avenue 12" Hancock Street 6" Cary Avenue 6" Turning Mill Road 8" Waltham Street 16" Hartwell Avenue 12" Revere Street 12" Partridge Road 8" Myrtle Street 6" Meriam Street 12" Grant Street 10" Mass.

This includes running the stand -by engine generator under full load weekly. An electric motor on one pump had to be completely overhauled this year. This station handles almost the entire North Lexington area as well as the connection with the Town of Bedford. We have reduced the checking of our three smaller stations at Byron Avenue, Patterson Road and Constitution Road to semi - weekly. This has not affected operation of these stations but has helped cut maintenance costs. Stoppages: During 1963 the department made 112 emergency calls covering such items as freezing plugged mains and plugged services, repairing broken mains, etc. One section of an 18" trunk sewer main, laid in 1915, was discovered broken in. April. 250 feet of trench had to be excavated for peat and filled with gravel to fully support the pipe. This was necessary because the original pipe was laid on piles in the peat. This work was done by contract. Routine Cleaning of Mains: The purchase of a sewer bucket cleaning machine in 1962 has made cleaning sewer mains much more efficient. Although the de- partment does not have the time or men to put this sort of cleaning on a regular basis at the present time, we do look forward to establishing a program along these lines in the future as a vital function of sewer maintenance. In 1963 approximately 4300 feet of mains were cleaned of sand, silt, gravel and other debris. Sewer Construction Two contracts were awarded for the construction of sewer laterals in 1963. Both were completed. PUBLIC SERVICES 193 The first was signed on July 1, 1963 to C. DiMartino & Sons, Inc., and was in the amount of $147,425.

Untreated swamps were inspected in April and May and sprayed by hand or by helicopter where larvae were found. In June there was a considerable influx of mosquitoes in the westerly and north- westerly part of the Town and these were treated mainly by ground and aerial fog- ging with Malathion. Catch basins were sprayed with Baytex and most of the sum- mer Culex mosquito spraying was with Malathion. Routine ditch maintenance was done mainly in the spring and fall. One new ditch was made in the east side of Great Swamp. Another was made north of Route 2 some distance west of Waltham Street. TOWN OFFICES AND CARY MEMORIAL BUILDING: In addition to the gen- eral repairs and painting of all three properties, the outside trim on all three build- ings was painted. This was done by The Kenney Company. PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING: In 1963 the new lighting system in the build- ing was completed. In addition, the entire building was painted by The Kenney Company, who painted the Town Offices and Cary Memorial Building. Special Projects NEW FIELD AT CENTER PLAYGROUND: The work of completing the field in the Center Playground between Worthen Road, Park Drive and the enclosed field was almost completed in 1963. The heavy fill which had been placed in 1962 has now settled and has been graded so that in 1964 the entire field will be loamed and seeded. A large portion of -the area will be available for use in 1964; some will not become available until 1965. BASKIN PLAYGROUND: On May 27, 1963 a contract was signed with De- PUBLIC SERVICES 195 Flice Brothers in the amount of $8,950.00 to fill and furnish loam for a 200' x 200' area in Baskin Playground. The contract called for the Town to do the spread- ing and seeding of the loam. This project was completed may be used in 1964. Other projects were undertaken for other departments during the year. Although a bit of juggling was sometimes involved to squeeze these projects in with our normal work program, the co- operation of the other departments more than offset any inconvenience to our own programming. Conclusion In conclusion, I wish to acknowlege 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. Respectively submitted, JOHN J. CARROLL, Supt. of Public Works REPORT OF THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT December 31, 1963 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith the report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1963. In 1963, we kept accurate records of the time spent by Engineering Department personnel on various work done during the year. The categories into which the work was broken down were as follows: 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 Office Work — Office 1.) Sewer — Field and Office — 26.8 % Early in 1963, our own field crews did a great amount of preliminary field work on the sewer laterals which were expected to be built by contractors dur- ing the year. This work was plotted in the office, then given to our consultant 196 PUBLIC SERVICES 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. On the 338 feet of sewer laterals covering four separate locations which were installed by Town forces, our own engineering personnel did the field work, prepared the plans and inspected the work. On sewer services it was the job of the Engineering Department to locate the services on the ground for the Public Works crews and to give grades where necessary. We also gave estimates for all sewer services, consulting with the homeowners in most cases. In advance of a new program to reduce infiltration in our sewer system, the Engineering Department made infiltration tests of many sewer lines in the area of the North Lexington Sewage Pumping Station. These tests were made between midnight and six a.m. They are now recorded and are being eval- uated. 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 — 7.1 % In 1963, water mains were installed by Town forces amounting to 3616 feet in length. The Engineering Department did the preliminary survey, made con- struction plans and inspected the work during installation. During the year we also spent much time on making additions and cor- rections 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 main- tenance. 3.) Street — Field and Office — 13.1 % 4.23 miles of streets were accepted by the Town Meeting in 1963. For the convenience of the public we are listing them in this report as fol lows: A.) Betterments Length Ames Avenue 600' Drew Avenue 270' Volunteer Way 481' Eastern Avenue 1135' Freemont Street (from Cedar Street) 1290' Manning Street 505' Sub -Total 4281 Feet 0.81 Miles B.)

The making of these plans involved a certain amount of field work. We feel that more work should be done in the field so that each accepted street has bounds placed at all points of curvature. This is an area which has been neglected in the past making it more difficult for private surveyors to locate properties in reference to streets and therefore incurring unnecessary additional costs to the owner of the property being surveyed. For this reason, combined with others, we feel that the Engineering Department needs one additional employee who is a capable, experienced surveyor. A representative of the Engineering Department attended all street hear- ings to answer questions. The Public Works Department, as a part of its street resurfacing work, resurfaced 15,928 feet of street with bituminous concrete in 1963. The work was done by a private contractor. The Engineering Department drafted the contract, took bids, inspected the work and made estimates for payment on the project. We also made many traffic counts during the year. 4.) Drain,— Field and Office — 15.5 % On drain easements, as on all easements, owners were contacted prior to tak- ing by the Town. In 1963, although most of the work was done by outside forces, a great deal of time was involved on making easement plans and talk- ing to owners. 198 PUBLIC SERVICES In 1963, many studies were made of drainage problems. Preliminary sur- veys were made, recommendations made for correcting the problem and grades were given where needed if the work was actually carried out by Town forces. Grades were also given where the Town forces cleaned over 4000 feet of brooks. 5.) Sidewalks — Field and Office — 3.0% Approximately 13,438 feet of new sidewalks were constructed in Lexington during 1963. Approximately 8245 feet were resurfaced. On sidewalk work, the Engineering Department made and recorded bet- terment plans and handled the contracts and inspection where necessary. 6.) Map Work — Office — 15.9% A large amount of time is spent in the office in up dating the Assessors' Plans, so- called. All new subdivisions and lotting changes have been made. We are making or have completed a master plan of subdivisions, of reg- istered land, of all Town owned land and of all existing and proposed school sites. All other Town maps were brought up -to -date during the year. 7.) Subdivisions — Field and Office — 4.8% Approximately 8957 feet of subdivision roads were approved and began con- struction in 1963. Under the direction of our Construction Inspector, inspec- tions 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 Office Work and Miscellaneous Work — 13.8% Many plans came into the department during the year which had to be in- dexed 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 Ccm- pany, the Mystic Valley Gas Company, etc. We hope that breaking down cur work into these categories has given you a better idea of the accomplishments of the Engineering Department during the year 1963. We look forward to oreater accomplishments in 1964. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CARROLL, Town Engineer PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF PARK AND SHADE TREE DEPARTMENT December 31, 1963 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 199 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 activ- ities of the Park Division and Section Two the Shade Tree and Insect Suppression. Section One The department purchased no new heavy equipment this year. We did, how- ever, buy such small equipment as a York rake, a scarifier and a power mower. A small one -ton roller was purchased for the Road Machinery Fund. A small addition was made to our Park Department Building for storing tools and fertilizer. Center Playground: In addition to the regular maintenance work at the Center Playground, the fol- lowing work was carried on: Repairs were made to the Little League and baseball stands. Two new copper water services were put into the drinking fountains. A new field was built alongside the enclosed field fence fcr girls' hockey. The usual repair work was made to the cinder track. The clay tennis courts and the swimming pool were maintained by the Park Department. Gne Park employee was assigned to the pool during most of each day throughout the summer. Under Article 52 of the Annual Town Meeting of 1962 an amount of $42,000. was appropriated, at the request of the Recreation Committee, for developing a large area in the Center Playground between Worthen Road, Park Drive and the enclosed field. One part of this area was completed in 1962 and another large area in 1963. An additional area is still incomplete but at least one -half of the area is available for playing on this spring. Additional and replacement trees and shrubs were planted in most of the park areas, and they were fertilized and limed. Our weed control program was carried out wherever necessary. One section of the Common was foamed and seeded, leav- ing one more section to be done. We have been doing over a section each year due to a snow mold condition and also spots where weeds became prevalent. In 1957, $10,000. was appropriated for the construction of a play area at Baskin Playground. For various reasons, such as the construction work on Route 128, this work was held over until this year. In conjunction with the Public Works Department, an area 200' x 200' was loaned and seeded. Other parks, triangles and baseball areas at Diamond Junior High, Fiske, Frank- lin, Hastings and Harrington Schools received regular maintenance including fer- tilizing. One more new triangle at Ledgelawn Avenue was added to the Park Divi- 200 PUBLIC SERVICES sion. At Muzzey Junior High an area was foamed and seeded and leveled for skat- ing. Town Office Building Grounds: The grounds around the Town Office, Cary Memorial and School Administra- tion buildings were maintained by this department. They were continuously mowed during the summer season and flowers were planted and shrubs trimmed. Winter Work: This department maintains skating areas at the Center Playground, the Reservoir on Marrett Road, Kinneen's Pond, Adams School, Fiske School, Harrington School, Muzzey Junicr High and at the rear of the High School. All these areas were flood- ed 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 sec- tions of Willard's Woods were pruned of dead wood and generally cleaned of brush. Section Two New Equipment: The Shade Tree Division purchased one new hydraulic sprayer this year and replaced several power saws, etc. Shade Tree Planting: Each year we are planting more public shade trees. During the spring and summer 268 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. For example, this year we planted trees on Concord Avenue to replace the ones removed because of Chapter 90 con- struction. Most of these trees were planted on private prcperty so they would have a better chance of survival away from telephone and light wires. There is a great deal of construction work being done in the 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. Each year we are increasing the stock in our tree nursery at the Public Works Building on Bedford Street. This enables us to have a better selection of trees and reduces the over -all cost of new trees. Spraying: Our whole spraying program has been re- evaluated due to additional informa- tion we have received from the University of Massachusetts, Waltham Field Station and the Department of Public Health in regard to the effects of spraying on wild PUBLIC SERVICES 201 life. In place of D.D.T., this year we used Methoxychlor. This material is recom- mended by the above authorities instead of D.D.T. for the control of the bark beetle, carrier of the Dutch Elm Disease, and is far less toxic to wild life. Each year seems to bring out a different insect pest that needs control. The major nuisance this year was the elm leaf beetle. These can sometimes be found hibernating in attics if an elm tree is in the neighborhood. It feeds on elm leaves in the early summer causing the leaves to turn brown and fall, often giving the im- pression that the tree is infected with the Dutch Elm Disease. A continuous in- festation 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 hydraulic 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 breeding of cockroach, flies, etc. We also answered many requests to spray poison ivy on public and private property during the sum- mer. Removing and Pruning Trees: During the year we pruned approximately 125 trees of different varieties ex- cluding elm. Street construction was responsible for the removal of about 138 trees. Most of these were removed by private contractors. We cut approximately 14 stumps below grade with our stump cutter. This machine has proved to be an invaluable tool in the removal of these unsightly objects. Dutch Elm Disease: A great deal of time was spent trying to control the Dutch Elm Disease which is showing improvement on public trees. This is a fungus disease that spread to the United States from Europe between 1920 and 1930. Since that time it has spread and destroyed many valuable trees on public and private property. This year we have pruned 96 trees. This is one of the best ways of controlling the disease be- cause the Dutch Elm Disease Bark Beetle enters through dead wood. The Shade Tree Division also removed 125 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 Dutch Elm diseased trees found in Lexington since 1959: 1959 105 1960 85 1961 45 1962 27 1963 31 202 PUBLIC SERVICES The trees tested this year included 19 privately owned and 12 public, which have been removed. 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. Respectively submitted, PAUL E. MAZERALL, Supt. of Parks & Shade Tree Division REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS December 31, 1963 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Cemetery Commissioners submit their Annual Report for the year 1963. The regular maintenance work has been done on the grounds, driveways, trees and shrubs of the four cemeteries. Munroe Cemetery: There were twenty interments in Munroe Cemetery. Fifteen graves were raised and reseeded. Ten tilted headstones were straightened, several of which needed new cement foundations. A leaf blower was purchased for use at this cem- etery. Colonial Cemetery: At Colonial Cemetery there now is a three -foot gate which can be used to enter the cemetery from the rear opposite St. Brigids' Church. This will eliminate the need of climbing the fence. Five graves were raised and reseeded. Several head- stones were righted. Westview Cemetery: At Westview Cemetery there were one hundred seven interments, fifty -nine lots, fourteen single graves and three baby graves were sold. Twenty -seven graves were raised, foamed and reseeded. Several areas which had been overrun with crab grass were foamed and reseeded. An area of fifteen lots in the Pine Ridge section was sprayed to check the growth of weeds. Ten trees were removed to clear PUBLIC SERVICES 203 the way for a new road leading into the Sunset section. This road will be com- pleted in the spring when the black top will be placed. Forty new graves in the rear of the Sunset section were marked off and numbered. A total of seventy emblems representing the different religious and military organizations were set in cement and set flush with the sod. The iron rail fence on the Bedford Street side from Westview Street to the gate at the entrance to the cemetery was painted. The following funds were collected and committed to the Town Treasurer: 204 PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE REGISTAR OF VETERANS' GRAVES December 31, 1963 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Registrar of Veterans' Graves herewith submits his report for the year Munroe Cemetery ending December 31, 1963.

Respectively submitted, JOHN C. GRAHAM, Chairman Cemetery Commissioners There were twenty (20) interments of Veterans in Lexington cemeteries dur- ing the year 1963. These interments have been recorded and affidavits are on file in this office. Flags and wreaths were placed on all Veterans' graves on Memorial Day and suitable care given these graves during the year. The usual quota of sunken graves were raised in all cemeteries and several monuments that became tilted in Munroe Cemetery were righted. Respectively submitted, MAURICE D. HEALY, Registrar CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES December 31, 1963 To the Citizens of Lexington: 205 The Cary Memorial Library Trustees are made up of the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee, and the Settled Ministers. This means that we are subject to change, especially by elections. Since Mrs. Mildred Marek did not seek election on the School Committee, we have lost in 1963 our Chairman and member of the Library Building Committee. We have also lost Rabbi Bernard H. Bloom, Alan G. Adams, and the Rev. Whitmore Beardsley. We note with regret the death of former Trustee Merrill Norlin. Added to our membership were Robert Cataldo, George Sheldon, Elizabeth Clarke, the Rev. Richard Lund and Rabbi Haskell Bernat. The Trustees have changed their by -laws, under which we have two full meet- ings of the Board: in the fall and the spring, to make the Annual Meeting now occur in October. The Executive Committee, which at present consists of the Rev. Harold T. Handley as Chairman, Mrs. Elizabeth Clarke as Vice Chairman, the Rev. Miles R. McKey, Otis S. Brown, Jr., and Rabbi Herbert Rosenblum, meets monthly to care for routine business. An Advisory Committee, now consisting of Mrs. John J. G. McCue, Chairman, Mr. Lewis L. Hoyt, Mrs. Ruth Morey, Mrs. Mildred B. Marek, Mr. Douglas Bryant, Mr. Paul Riley and Mr. George Wadsworth, attends Executive Committee and Trustee meetings and is now working on long -range plans for the Library in meetings of its own. In 1963, under the leadership of Karl Nyren and his staff, we moved forward in several important directions: (1) in public relations; the film on Town Libraries made by Wing Productions in the Cary Lihrary Building has reached a national audience. Articles by members of the staff have been published in local Boston papers. We have emphasized the Diorama and our Lexington Historical Room; our historical collection of Colonial history has been enhanced; the Director has addressed several civic groups. (2) We have begun to develop specialized fields, continuing first our art and music room. There have been monthly exhibits of art and special musical programs on Sunday afternoons. We have rearranged our ref- erence room to provide for a specialized section on business. (3) The large job of recataloging from the Cutter Classification to the Dewey Decimal System con- tinues. Much progress has been made in this due to the special funds provided by the Commonwealth. The Trustees wish to thank the following institutions and individuals for their assistance in planning special programs and exhibits: the Worcester Art Museum, the Peabody Museum of Salem, the Boston Public Library, the University of Okla- homa, the Safrai Gallery of Israel, the art teachers of the Lexington schools, the Ad- dison Gallery of American Art, the Lexington Historical Society, The Premier Per- 206 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY formance Company, the Choir of Temple Isaiah, Professor Alvin Fiering of Boston University, Miss Anna L. Muzzey, Mr. and Mrs. Francis S. Dane, Miss Etts Wol- pert, Miss Fannie Hillsmith, Mrs. Virginia Mortenson, Mrs. Anne MacRae Mac- Leod, Mr. James Mickelson, Mr. Leon Lipschutz, and the large number of Lex- ington residents who lent valuable works of art for the "Lexington Collectors' Ex- hibition." For their assistance in planning music programs at Cary Library the Trustees wish to thank Mr. Francis J. Cooke, Mrs. Steven D.Dimmock, Mrs. Otto Gombosi, Mr. Norman Cazden, Mrs. Hazel Weems, Mr. Nicholas Van Slyck, Mr. Allen C. Lannom, Mrs. Leo Sullivan, Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Warner, Mr. Eleftherios Eleftherakis, Mr. Robert A.

McDonnell Custodian Frank Langone Assistant Custodian REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR December 31, 1963 To the Trustees of the Cary Memorial Library: The Director respectfully submits the ninety -fifth Annual Report of the Library. Cutting the library budget, from $182,601 to $158,605, had severe reper- cussions in library service this year. Circulation of books dropped for the first year in over a decade; staff vacancies of the previous year went unfilled, and several new vacancies also had to be left unfilled. Restoration of the library's budget, in the form approved by the Board of Trustees, is essential for 1964. The full -time staff underwent the following changes in 1963: New Appointments: Mrs. Mary Lou Boyle Librarian II Miss Martha McGovern Librarian II Mrs. Helen Rogers Librarian III Mrs. Thelma Spencer Librarian III Miss Elaine Marobella Trainee Resignations: Mr. Wesley Doak Librarian II Miss Margaret Eubank Librarian II Miss Anne Marie Sgrosso Librarian II Mrs. Mary Ann Mackie Librarian III Mrs. Hazel Thurber Librarian III Miss Elaine Marobella Trainee One professional position, Supervisor of Work with Children, has been vacant since 1961. One position, Reader's Advisor, has been vacant since 1962. More recent vacancies, occurring in 1963, are Art and Music Librarian and Young People's Librarian. 208 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY 1963's reduced budget made filling of these position impossible. The library has been kept open and cperating only by replacing well qualified librarians with part -time workers and non - professional or clerical workers. A new salary schedule, based on the average beginning salary of a graduate of library school, has been approved by the Trustees. This, with the budget approved by the Trustees, will make it possible to attract qualified librarians and keep them. The recataloging of the collection, although slowed down by the general re- striction on library activity, has been proceeding. At the end of 1963, books in the old Cutter classification accounted for only thirty per cent of the total circulation. The additional personnel needed in the catalog department were not available in 1963, so there was a slowdown in the processing of books. A reorganization of the main reading room made possible the setting aside an area for business reference work and adult reading, responding to two acute needs with at least a partial solution. To the monthly exhibits in the Piper Gallery and a continuing program in adult education, the Trustees of the Library are sponsoring a series of Sunday afternoon musical events. These include recitals and concerts by individual Lexington musicians and choral groups. Music programs, like the film program scheduled for 1964, are the product of volunteer efforts by staff and members of the public. The drive for funds to purchase the Diorama of the Battle of Lexington for the Town has progressed steadily, with many contributions large and small. At the end of 1963, over $3,500 of the $5,500 had been raised. Mr. Raymond Scheublin, of the Lexington Trust Company, has been acting as Treasurer for the fund. The National Library Week film, The Fifth Freedom, shows our library as a, prime example of a good small town library. This film has been shown to en- thusiastic audiences in the United States and in several foreign countries, as an incentive to local support of public library service. Many letters and visits have been received as a result, and, in the present forward leap of libraries all over the world, Lexington holds an honored place. Our problem is clear cut —to keep library service at this same high level in relation to a growing population, increased costs of personnel and books, and an ever - greater need for the tools of informal adult education. Planning for the library facilities which will be needed by the Town in future years has been progressing at meetings of the Advisory Committee, which has been requested by the Board of Trustees to study Library needs. CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY 209 In the difficult year which has just passed, members of the staff have without exception proved again their excellence as a group and as individuals. Their efforts in turn were ably supported by the large number of part -time workers and pages who have made it possible to keep the library open and functioning. Respectfully submitted, KARL E.

The Committee met twenty -five times during the year. Guests, invited by the Committee, attended approximately half of those meetings to help with the plan- ning, coordination, or execution of the Committee's work. We appreciate the time those people took to attend and the zeal and effort with which so many of the individuals, organizations, and other departments of the Town contributed to the celebration of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary, Patriots Day, and U. N. Day. The Committee could have accomplished very little without their generous help. Celebration of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town of Lexington The Board of Selectmen charged the Committee with the responsibility of planning and executing a proper observance of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town. The Committee decided it could most effectively meet that responsibility by establishing a seven member sub- committee. Accordingly, the Committee selected those members, obtained their consent, and recommended their official appointment to the Board of Selectmen. The Committee gave full responsibility for the celebration to the Subcommittee but maintained close liaison between the two groups. Although the subcommittee in gen- eral scheduled their own meetings, the two groups met together on the last Thurs- day of each month to review progress and to approve major programs and budgets. The subcommittee presented its final report to the Committee in June, 1963. That report gives the full story on the celebration and includes reports from the many organizations in Lexington which contributed so effectively to the celebra- tion. The complete report is available from the chairman of the Town Celebrations Committee or at Cary Memorial Library. Its introductory paragraphs are included as follows: Report of the Committee for the Celebration of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town of Lexington "To preface our report, we should like to express our thanks to all the many people of Lexington without whose efforts this Celebration could not have been the success that it was. The tireless efforts contributed by the people of this town 214 HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES was something that will be remembered always. We truly thank each and every one for the many contributions of time and effort. "The 250th Anniversary Committee was originally formed by the Town Celebrations Committee in the Fall of 1961 as a sub - committee whose purpose was to prepare, plan and carry out the plans toward the Celebration of the 250th) Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town of Lexington. The Committee was comprised of Mr. Edwin Worthen, Mrs. Hazel LaPorte, Mrs. Rebecca Nussdorfer, Mr. Cornelius Cronin, Mr. Leonard Foster, Mr. Bentley Hutchins, and Mr. Charles Parks. These people were not members of any particular organization or party and were not town officials. The idea was to select a varied group of citizens with a wide range of talents, interests and acquaintances in order that planning for the occasion might have a deeper meaning. "At the first meeting of the above - mentioned committee at the Town Office Building, an election was held to determine the officers to represent the group. Mr. Charles Parks was elected Chairman; Mr. Edwin Worthen, Treasurer; and Mrs. Rebecca Nussdorfer, Secretary. It was further decided that in order to properly plan for this Celebration, weekly meetings should be held and also held in a place that would prove to be conducive to good sound planning without the informality that individual homes might provide. The Cary Memorial Library was chosen as our meeting place due to several reasons, but principally because of the access of literature, reports, etc. that were available here. We continued meeting here every Thursday evening from eight o'clock until ten. In the Spring of 1962, as plans began to unfold, Mr. Edwin Worthen and Mr. Leonard Foster, because of health reasons, found it necessary to resign from our committee. We were deeply sorry to see them leave, as both had rendered invaluable assistance during our formulative stages. "As our plans began to solidify, we felt that this occasion should be kept on a high level and not run like a carnival or Mardi Gras type of celebration. The prestige that Lexington has always enjoyed, due to its rich heritage, was something that we felt should not be marred in any fashion and, therefore, our plans called for a series of dignified events held on Saturday and Sunday, April 20 and 21, 1963, and this would, of course, tie in with an annual event which has for years been celebrated here in Lexington, the 19th of April. Planning for the 19th in recent years has been the responsibility of the Town Celebrations Committee. This year there was to be a three -day celebration, starting on Friday and continu- ing through Sunday night, with our responsibilities centered only on Saturday and Sunday. "A short time after the resignation of Mr. Worthen and Mr. Foster, we sub- mitted two names to the Celebrations Committee as our choice for replacement. These were approved — Mr. Grant B. Cole and Dr. Howard A. Smith were ap- pointed and we were most pleased to have them both. HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES 215 "Attached to this report are individual reports submitted by various organiza- tions that headed up the various activities and a complete list of events planned for the occasion is also included. It must be remembered that although our phase was principally for Saturday and Sunday, there ultimately were slight fluctuations which we found to be necessary in the overall planning. Both our Committee and the Town Celebrations Committee worked together toward this end. Some functions, such as our Musical Drama and the Pan American affair, had to be knitted together within the two committees' plans in order to have proper meaning overall. "Finances, of course, were a very important facet of this Celebration and it was our desire to curtail them as much as possible and still be able to carry out a satisfactory program. A budget was submitted for $3,100, which would, we felt, be adequate to cover our proposed expenses. This would be added to the overall amount that the Town Celebrations Committee requested. A special appropriation had to be requested from the Town for the $3,100. Once the money had been approved and appropriated at the Town Meeting, it was merely a question of keeping records, etc., of its disbursement. One thing that it is important to re- member is that no amount of this money could be used toward the support of a function where admission would be charged. This had been clearly outlined to us by Town Counsel from the outset. Also, if any funds were used toward any activity, the entire populace would have to be able to participate. This only presented problems insofar as the Musical Drama was concerned, however. A detailed break- down of our budget is enclosed, together with expenditures relating thereto. "Delegation of all the activities, we felt, should be placed in the hands of al- ready activated groups within the town. This would provide ready -made organ- izations as well as adequate personnel within this framework. The only exception to this was the appointment of Mrs. R. J. Baltz, who, we felt, had talent sufficient enough to be in a position to mobilize a drama group. This she did in the activation of the Premiere Performance Company, who put on the performance of 'They Nobly Dar'd.' "The many activities that took place during this week -end were varied and most interesting. They were unique in themselves and covered a wide range of interests, so that everyone in the town could attend something of their choice. The weather turned out splendidly, providing us with a complete week -end of warm sunshine, marred only by one brief shower on Saturday afternoon, which neces- sitated the Harvard Band's presenting their concert indoors at the Cary Hall rather than at the Parker Field, as had been previously planned. Participation on behalf of the townspeople was good to excellent. Although no activity can be singled out by this committee as being any more successful than another, the Musical Drama gave all indications of obtaining a larger audience than any other function. Part of this success, perhaps, was due to the large individual participation by the residents." Respectfully submitted, 250th ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE MRS. C. L. LaPORTE CHARLES E. PARKS, Chairman CORNELIUS P. CRONIN BENTLEY S. HUTCHINS GRANT B. COLE MRS. T. J. NUSSDORFER DR. HOWARD A.

The Committee is most grateful for the time and hard work that the sub- committee members contributed to the celebration. It was a pleasure to work with them and it is with considerable regret that our official business with them is ended. Patriots Day Although Patriots Day occurred during the celebration of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary, the Committee retained full responsibility for all activities specifically concerned with the observance of Patriots Day. HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES 217 The day began with the customary ringing of bells at 6:30 a.m. At 7:00 a.m., the Morning Parade left East Lexington for the march to the Battle Green, preceded by the "Spirit of 1776 ". In accordance with tradition, the parade is strictly for and by Lexington residents. Accordingly, the two divisions were made up of members of the Town's various civic, veteran, service, and youth organizations; the senior and junior high school bands provided music. School children who were not associated with other organizations also joined the parade. Short ceremonies at the Green concluded the early morning activities. At those ceremonies, the Lions Club presented their White Tricorn Hat Award to Miss Margaret Keefe, Principal of Maria Hastings School, for her many years of service to the school and the young people of the town. Mr. James Keefe, her brother, accepted the award for her. The afternoon parade under the command of Chief Marshal, James Broderic, Past Commander of the Lexington Detachment, Marine Corps League, stepped off promptly at 2:00 p.m. The five divisions and a guest unit (uniformed units of Aleppo Temple, Boston) were preceded by a motorcade of South American country representatives and the "Spirit of 1776 ". Bands and marching units from all branches of the armed forces participated with other units from civic and veterans organizations, youth groups, R.O.T.C. companies, fire equipment from surrounding towns, and several high schools and other bands. The Chamber of Commerce selected winners from the large number of floats in the parade. The floats generally depicted some representation of the parade theme, "They Nobly Dar'd." The Jaycees again awarded prizes to the winners of the House Decorating Contest. Movies of the parade are available at Cary Memorial Library. Members of the Camera Club at the Senior High School, under the supervision of Eric Handley, provided the man power required to take them. United Nations Day Flag raising ceremonies on the Green at 7:00 a.m. started the observance of U. N. Day. Members of the Marine Corps League raised the United States and U. N. flags and other Lexington veterans groups sent delegations. Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Cole, accepted the U. N. flag presented to the Town by the Lions Club. After a most provocative U. N. Day program presented by the pupils of Hancock School, representatives of the student body and of the Jaycees planted a U. N. tree on school grounds. Miss Linda Fox and Jonathan Landeau, winners of the U. N. Day Essay Contest sponsored by the League of Women Voters, read their essays at an assembly co- 218 HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES ordinated by the Assembly Committee of the Lexington Senior High School Student Council. The Rotary Club again donated funds for a trip to U. N. headquarters for the winners and two teachers from the high school as chaperones. Many Lexington retail merchants displayed U. N. posters and Cary Memorial Library provided book displays and a U. N. reading list. The Committee was again pleased to have Mr. Roger Greeley, a prime mover toward the national celebration of U. N. Day, with us during the morning exercises. His continued interest is very much appreciated.

Veterans Day was observed with a parade which started from the Adams School this year due to the fact that we had a large contingent of men and equipment from the National Guard in addition to the marching unit from Bedford Air Force Base and the usual quotas from the various military organizations of the town. At the Battle Green the invocation was offered by Reverend Handley and the Proclamation was read by Selectman Lincoln P. Cole.

BUTTS, JR., Chairman 243 HANSCOM - 1963 Nineteen - hundred- and - sixty -three at Hanscom was a year of progress and achievement in support of USAF Aerospace requirements. The Electronic Systems Division at Hanscom, with primary responsibility for the planning, development and acquisition of Command and Control Systems completed two major systems during the year. The Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) became fully operational with the activation of the third site in the chain at Flyingdales 'Moor_ England. The achievement of operational status of a hardened SAGE site at North Bay, Canada, a joint USAF -RCAF effort, was also important. Both systems, designed to support the defense of North America are tied into the North American Air Defense Com- mand Post at Colorado Springs, Colorado. While ESD was achieving operational status of these systems and managing the development of some dozen other Com- mand and Control systems, the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, respon- sible for basic research in the fields of electronics and geophysics, completed work on the world's largest and most powerful radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. From six widely separated sites along the path of the 'solar eclipse from Alaska to Maine, the total eclipse of the sun was observed and photographed. Valuable scien- tific data on propagation of radio waves was collected. The new ESD management headquarters building was occupied in October and a new Laboratory at AFCRL is making significant contributions to basic aerospace research. Of special significance was the dedication, in December, of the Systems Design Laboratory by General Bernard A. Schriever, Commander of the Air Force Systems Command. This new facility will be an important tool in designing future Command and Control Systems. Other units at Hanscom performed their mission responsibilities over a broad range of Aerospace activities, including the recall of the 94th (Reserve) Troop Car- rier Wing during the Cuban crisis. Of scecial interest to members of the com- munities surrounding Hanscom was the -,nouncement that all assigned Air Force supersonic aircraft hava now been trans:, -ed to other bases. From time to time, however, such aircraft may be terrocrari, L`ilized in special tests. The total personnel strength of the Flans-corn Complex during ;'pis period was approximately 12,000 military and civilian employees with an annual payroll of approximately $80 million. Contractual arrangements with industrial firms in Massachusetts totaled in excess of $130 million. During 1:63 approxmiate-!y 7,000 school children visited the base, and on special occasions such as Armed Forces Day and an aerial demonstration by the Thunderbirds, additional tens of thousands of children and adults were attracted to Hanscom where they saw an element of Aerospace Power in action. Hanscom participation in community observances remained at a high level. The Hanscom- Lexington Community Council, reorganized in October, promised to provide an important vehicle for the broadening of Community -USAF cooperation. 245 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT THE LEXINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS— 1963 School Committee Organization DR.

Cornelia Murphy, 10 Bird Hill Road (on leave of absence) SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 247 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE To the Citizens of Lexington: Since 1647, every community in Massachusetts has been required by law to maintain and support public schools. Since 1826, the citizens have been compelled to delegate that charge to elected officials serving without compensation and accountable only to the voters. The five citizens so selected in Lexington are charged with providing the best possible education for the children of the town at a reasonable cost to the taxpayers. There are times when their financial respon- sibility to the taxpayers conflicts with their educational responsibility to the students. The role of the school committee can be looked upon as that of a pilot charting a course between the professionals and the lay people, between the best interests of the citizens and the best interests of their children. Being lay people themselves, committee members act as a policy- making body and leave the actual operation of the schools to the professionals. The committee's single most important function is, therefore, the selection of a superintendent of schools. On July 1, 1963, Medill Bair left Lexington to take up his duties as Super- intendent of Schools in Carmel, California. Faced with trying circumstances oc- casioned by a burgeoning school population and the ever - increasing shortage of good teachers, Mr. Bair set and maintained standards of excellence in Lexington's public schools which have placed them among the best in She nation. We shall always be grateful for the high quality of his educational leadership. In the search for a new superintendent, the committee first agreed on a statement of qualifications, having to do with age.. experience, and education. Contact was then made with placement officers of selected colleges and universities throughout the country and recommendations were invited from leaders in the field. Each member of the school committee examined the credentials of over fifty candidates and all agreed upon nine to be invited to Lexington for individual interviews with the entire committee. CF these, three were selected as finalists and each came back to Lexington to visit schools, talk with administrators, and again sit down with the entire committee. On October 26, 1963, the committee unanimously voted to elect as the new superintendent of schools in Lexington, Dr. Rudolph J. Forbert, superintendent of schools in East Windsor, Connecticut, who will take office on February 1, 1964. Dr. Fobert's fine educational background, understanding of human relations, ex- perience with the many problems of public school education, and record of achievement as teacher and administrator, give promise of many more years of superior public schools in Lexington. In the meantime, the high quality of education has been maintained by Lex- ington's Interim Superintendent, Mitchell J. Spiris, Director of Administrative 248 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Services under Mr. Bair. Mr. Spiris has carried out his difficult and demanding tasks with creat competence. Mr. James R. Maclnnes has served as part -time administrative assistant. Mr. Paul F. Poehler, Jr., Mr. Manfred L. Warren, Dr. Henry L. lsaksen, and all other members of the central administrative office staff have given unstintingly of their time to keep the system operating smoothly during this interim period. 1963 saw the retirement of Mrs. Mildred F. Marek from the school committee. Mrs. Marek served for three terms: nine years, three of them as chairman. The minutes of March 19, 1963, record: "The school committee and the audience warmly expressed sincere appreciation to Mrs. Marek for her notable service to the Lexington Public Schools and the community." In the interest of continuing to attract and to keep in Lexington the very best teachers, the committee has embarked upon a long -range plan for salary adjustments. In 1964, the number of steps to achieve maximum salary will be reduced, in order to offer greater reward, sooner, for experience. The next step calls for increases in salaries according to a new guide, based upon a ratio index, whereby all salaries bear a fixed ratio to each other and to the minimum. Thus, future salary increases can be accomplished by simply raising the minimum. The committee compliments the administration and the Lexington Teachers' Association for their fine spirit of cooperation in working out these plans. A change in emphasis in the Teacher Leadership Program is a move designed to encourage continual improvement in actual classroom teaching. The program has been renamed the Lexington Voluntary Teacher - Leadership Program and recog- nition will be based equally upon evidence of superior effectiveness in the class- room and active leadership contributing to improvement of instruction throughout the system. The school population continues to grow: every year there are 300 to 350 more children in the system. The problem of classroom space is, therefore, still with us, and will be for many more years. Because the high school addition was delayed, the construction of the next elementary school was also delayed, and this year the shortage of space has made it necessary to schedule two sessions for the tenth grade, and to divide the gymnasiums of two schools— Harrington and Hastings —into classrooms. Next year the situation will be relieved by moving all ninth graders to the high school and many sixth graders to the junior high schools. By 1966, even this device will not provide enough space. Accordingly, the long -range building program has been revised. In November, 1963, the Town Meeting voted funds for preliminary plans for an elementary school on the Middleby Road site. When this school opens in the fall of 1966, there will be 261 elementary school children "left over," according to enroll- ment predictions. The plan therefore calls for a second new elementary school to be completed in 1967. A third is scheduled for completion in 1969, and com- SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 249 pletion of a third junior high school is scheduled for 1970. These plans must be followed if we are to look forward to the day when the instruction of our children can be organized to serve their best educational interests, and not according to the dictates of crisis conditions. The school committee regards the present arrangements as expedients. Many of them are contrary to good educational practice, and, in any case, organization of classes and grouping patterns should not be determined by space limitations. The school committee is concerned with educating Lexington's children, not just finding spaces for them. We have steadily worked to improve communications between the school department and the townspeople it serves. A "Report from the Superintendent" now appears regularly in the weekly newspaper, as does a full account of each school committee meeting and the agenda of the next meeting. We thank Mr. Alan G. Adams, Editor of the Lexington 'Minute -Man, for making possible this means of disseminating information about our schools. We appreciate the fine reporting of our own staff member, Richard G. Woodward, who is also editor of Our Schools In Action, which, in an attempt to further improve communications, is now mailed to every household in Lexington. Similar distribution of a pre - liminary report on the team teaching project in the Franklin and Estabrook Schools will also help to keep citizens informed. This year saw the initiation of a new series of pamphlets, LPS Program Notes, designed to explore and explain in depth some of the current programs of the Lexington Public Schools. The several PTA bulletins, the PTA Council bulletin, and publications of various civic organizations now carry more and more information about schools. We thank their editors for these efforts. Finally, an ever- increasing number of people regularly attend school committee meetings, which now must be held in the auditorium of the Muzzey Junior High School. We commend these citizens for their interest. We shall continue to follow every available avenue of communication, to the end that the people of Lexington may better understand the policies of the school committee and the operation of our schools, and be better able to evaluate them intelligently. t Merrill F. Norlin resigned from the committee on December 2, 1963, because of ill health. Mr. Norlin was serving as Vice Chairman in this second year of his term. Out of a keen sense of responsibility toward the town, he rationed his physical resources in order to participate in the selection of our new superintendent. With fortitude he endured the many extra meetings involved, during the summer and fall, giving us the benefit of his wisdom and insight as we made this important decision. We admired his stoicism and we accepted his resignation with deep regret. Respectfully submitted, SANBORN C. BROWN, Chairman ELIZABETH H. CLARKE, Secretary VERNON C. PAGE ALFRED L. VIANO School Committee 250 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT For the Year 1963 It is my pleasure and honor to write the Superintendent's annual report. I shall begin with the date of my appointment as Interim Superintendent which became effective in July, 1963. I shall attempt to detail the progress made during this interim period, and also indicate some of the problems the Lexington Public Schools will face in the future. The resignation of Medill Bair to accept the position of Superintendent of Schools in Carmel, California, in June of 1963, left a tremendc,us void in the leadership of the Lexington Public Schools. Those of us who worked closely with Mr. Bair recognized his vitality, enthusiasm and dedication to quality education would be sorely missed. It would be necessary, somehow, to maintain the com- mitment of the Lexington Public Schools to quality education and a concern for the need of each student. It was with this challenge that I assumed the Interim Superintendency in July and presented, at the first school committee meeting in July, detailed plans for the period until such time as a new superintendent could be found for Lexington. These plans included an exploration of all the major concerns expressed by a group of citizens at this same meeting. Discussions with all key personnel in the Lexington school system led to the conclusion that an order of priority should be established for accomplishments during this interim period. It was also decided that basic philosophies and programs should be evaluated, with the intent of making the interim period one of continued progress and forward movement for the Lexington Public Schools. The general plan which was adopted consisted of two approaches: 1. Evaluate and report on programs presently operating in the Lex- ington Public Schools; 2. Continue to make recommendations to the school committee for additions to and /or changes in present programs, and to recommend new approaches which would best meet the needs of the students in our school system. A timetable was established to carry this program through 1963 and into 1964, if a new superintendent was not appointed by that time. It is impossible to detail all of the accomplishments under this plan in such a short report. However, it is significant to note that the following programs and concerns were critically examined, and reports were presented to the school committee and to those interested citizens attending the committee meetings: 1. The Teacher Leadership Program 2. Pre -First Grade Program SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 3. Team Teaching 4. Advanced Program 5. Instructional Materials and Services 6. School- University Cooperative Relationships 7. Educational specifications for an elementary school 8. Hierarchial arrangements of organization 9. Renovation of the third floor of the Muzzey Junior High 10. Standards for specific areas in special education 11. Special testing 12. Work Experience Program 13. Emotionally Disturbed Class 14. Standards for specific areas 15. Study of special education 16. Communications 17. Organization of the Senior High School 18. Professional and non - professional staffs 19. Organization of the school system 20. Budget and professional salaries In this report I would like to enlarge on some of the areas which currently seem most vital to our school system. 251 252 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT There is still work to be done on competence pay. Lexington is committed to this method of rewarding outstanding professional performance and the future is bright for the Voluntary Teacher - Leadership Program in Lexington. Diligent evaluation has continually been made on competence pay awards and the Lex- ington Teachers' Association has again exhibited an interest in being a part of the planning group to help evaluate the best means of making these awards. School Pre -First Grade Report-On October 21, 1963, the school committee received a report which had been compiled by Mr. Lester E. Goodridge, Jr., evaluating the pre -first grade program and making recommendations as to its future. Lexington. Voluntary Teacher - Leadership Program -On August 22, 1963, a complete report, prepared by Manfred L. Warren in consultation with various members of the administrative staff, was presented. This report related a complete and concise history and present status of cornpettnce pay in the Lexington Public Schools, noting the strengths and weaknes:es of the program, and the ultimate development into the present teacher leadership program. As a result of this report, after discussion with the school committee end with the teachers' association, certain changes in the Teacher Leadership Program were recommended: 1. Change the name of the program tc the Lexington Voluntary Teacher - Leadership Program. 2. Base recognition under this program on activities in only two areas: a) superior teaching effectiveness, and b) the expectation that the superior teacher will show active leadership that strongly contributes to the improvement of instruction in Lexington. 3. Establish a cooperative committee consisting of representatives of the teachers' association, the superintendent's office, and the school committee, to evaluate fully the leadership program. There were also minor changes which needed to be made in forms and wording as a result of the major changes noted above. This report outlined the history of the pre -first grade program from its begin- nings in the summer of 1961, presented the statistical data used in evaluating the program, and detailed the proposed budget, actual costs, recruitment of staff, the use of aides, and the responses from students and parents. All areas of child behavior and learning were fully investigated and reported. The following is a brief summary of the evaluation of this program: 1. Program costs run in the vicinity of $40 per pupil. 2. Comments from parents of children involved indicate that a large majority of them consider it a success. The recognized problem of differentiating instruction for children with kindergarten experience is evident in this report. 3. Program staff members endorsed the program and felt that it could be strengthened with additional materials and a continuation of working policies. 4. A large majority of first grade teachers endorsed the program, found information passed on valuable, and were able to recognize the gains made by children who participated. 5. Testing results readily showed gains made by children in the pro- gram; particularly noteworthy were the gains made by children with no prior school experience. 6. For children not attending, vacation plans appeared to be the greatest obstacle. The following recommendations and suggestions were made: 1. The pre -first grade summer program should be incorporated as a permanent level in the school program until full -time public kinder- gartens are a reality. 2. The dates for the 1964 summer program should be set as Monday, July 6, through Friday, August 14. This would set the program length at six weeks. 3. Enrollment should be either for four or six weeks as in 1963; all enrollments should be for consecutive weekly attendance. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 4. Registration for pupil participation must be completed by Monday, July 13. 5. The recruitment and placement of professional staff should be similar to the arrangement used in 1962 and 1963. 6. The original arrangement of co- directors for the program should be considered for the future. 7. Groups formed for pre -first grade should be continued as a unit for first grade. 8. Principals should consider past school experience when making groupings. 9. The policy of employing aides (juniors from teacher- training in- stitutes) should be expanded. 253 This summer program promises to be a valuable part of the Lexington Public Schools total program until such time as it is feasible and advisable to start a regular kindergarten program. Work -Study Program —A report was presented on September 9, 1963, dealing with the progress made to date in the development of a work -study program in connection with the Basic Studies Program at the high school. The aim is to teach the student valuable work skills to prevent his becoming just another in the ranks of unskilled labor, and also to provide an effective transitional training period while the student is still under the guidance of a formal learning situation. Considerable progress has been made toward the development of this work - study program for those students who are assigned to the Basic Studies unit at the Lexington High School. With the assistance of Mr. Merrel A. Collard, Jr., whose time was made available to the high school for several weeks, research for the work -study program was undertaken last spring. Recommended programs in various public schools were visited and studied. Lexington and nearby communities were canvassed to locate suitable training areas and interested employers. In September of 1963 the school committee, sensing the potential value of such a program, opened the work experience program to high school students outside the Basic Studies Program as well. As a result of Mr. Collard's assignment to work more closely with the high school, it has been possible to develop a program to provide a transition from the academic classroom to the occupational world by actual on- the -job experience for youngsters who need such a cooperative working experience. Once the student has parental permission and has been recommended by his teachers, the training phase is ready to begin. Students attend their required courses each morning and report to work in the afternoon. Each trainee is paid for the hours worked and receives credit toward graduation. Those not performing well in school or on the job may be returned to a full -time academic schedule. At the close of 1963 we are very pleased to report that this work experience program has placed students with employers where their training covers such varied 254 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT activities as building maintenance, preparation and repair of automobiles, use of materials handling equipment, freight handling, long distance telephone procedures, and a wide variety of library work. This training is the planned and natural evolution of the Basic Studies Pro- gram initiated three years ago. Although the program is still in its infancy and cannot be accurately evaluated, some definite values can be observed: 1. Teachers and parents have seen some differences in attitudes toward school. 2. Some grades have improved. 3. Several students have received pay increases due to interest and achievement on the job. 4. Some students are already scheduled for full -time work this summer. 5. One boy has been given the responsibility of training two new shippers. 6. The students feel more secure and self- confident in dealing with tasks and people. There are some problems with this program. The major one is placing the student with an employer who has an understanding of the employer- trainee re- lationship. It is also difficult, at present, to find suitable work situations. Two other difficulties peculiar to our immediate locality are the lack of good public transportation and scarcity of heavy industry. While these are not insurmountable, they do limit the potential of such a program. It is also impossible to reach all employers who would be willing to take on student - trainees. More such training opportunities will be needed. Business people who wish to assist the young people of the community in learning valuable work skills should contact the Coordinator of the Work Experience Program at the Lexington High School. Renovation of the Muzzey Junior High School —This project has been voted by the school committee and is presently in the discussion stage with the various other town committees and groups. The report presented to the school committee in October, 1963, was concerned mainly with two elements: 1) the provision for educational space at the Muzzey Junior High School in such areas as language, remedial reading and large group instruction, in an attempt to improve the educational opportunities for Muzzey students; 2) an increase in the capacity of the Muzzey Junior High School by approximately 75 students. The project will be given to the Standing School Building Committee for their evaluation of the best way to meet these needs. It should be noted that this may not result in a renovation of existing areas, but may involve some other method of providing space to allow greater flexibility in the instructional program at Muzzey. It is hoped that during 1964 this renovation will be voted by the town meeting. Communication —One of the areas with which the Interim Superintendent was concerned was that of communication. This has been continually stressed and SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 255 there are three major improvements that can be noted in 1963: 1. The greatly increased use of the Lexington Minute -Man for special columns, features and reports of school activities and operations. We express our warmest appreciation to Mr. Alan G. Adams, Editor, and his staff, for their part in helping us to bridge the gap between schools and community. 2. Special reports prepared and distributed to Lexington householders. Notable among these reports has been the SUPRAD booklet describing the SUPRAD arrangement and advising the town of the progress made in the team teaching and SUPRAD arrangement. The Lexington School Committee deserves commendation for its vote to expend funds for distribution and mailing of evaluative materials to each householder. This is a sincere effort to maintain a close relationship and understanding between the schools and the community. 3. The continuation of the Our Schools publication and its mailing, and the start of a new publication called LPS Program Notes, a series of pamphlets explaining current programs in the Lexington Public Schools. In November of 1963 Volume 1, Number 1, of this latter publication dealt with the Advanced Program. The history of the Advanced Program was presented and the philosophy detailed, questions answered as to the success of such a program, and certain observations made as to the improvements which may be made in the program. Future issues will explore the program of Pupil Personnel Services, The Basic Studies Program, and the "New Math." Communications will continue to be a delicate problem for the Lexington Public Schools. It should be noted that the work of Mr. 'Richard G. Woodward, Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services, in assuming this added responsibility for school- community relations, has been one of the real strengths of the interim period. The Interim Superintendent feels strongly that one of the next steps the school committee must take is to assign a person full -time responsibility in this vital area. Enrollment Predictions —The Lexington Public Schools continue to grow at the rate of approximately 400 students per year. This indicates that physical facilities will continue to be a critical need of the Lexington Public Schools for the next ten years. As of October 1, 1963, the Lexington Public Schools had an enrollment of 7,420 students. The enrollment prediction made on December 2, 1962, was 7,423, or a difference of three. This comparison is noted simply to indicate that the annual projections made by the administration have been most accurate. It is predicted that by 1971 the Lexington Public School enrollment will be 10,578 students, whereas back in 1953 our enrollment was 3,499. This illustrates the problem of growth which exists and with which we must be prepared to cope. 256 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT On December 2; 1963, the Lexington School Committee voted the following schedule for a long -range building program in Lexington: In 1966 the opening of a 600 -pupil elementary school In 1967 the opening of a 600 -pupil elementary school In 1969 the opening of a 600 -pupil elementary school In 1970 or 1971 the opening of a 900 -pupil junior high school In addition to this, although the date has not been finally determined, the addition of space to the Muzzey Junior High School should also be completed. The need of additional facilities should be quite obvious from the enrollment projections of the growth of the student population of Lexington. It should be noted that we have not kept pace with the building needs for our instructional pro- gram. The education of students in Lexington in 1963, in 1964 and in 1965 will be primarily geared to the spaces available for housing children rather than to the program of education and ideal physical facilities for the program. In 1963 there is a shortage of senior high school space which necessitates a double session in the 10th grade. In addition to this, we have had to partition the gymasium area in two elementary schools in order to make seven classrooms. We have also partitioned lunchroom areas at one elementary school and we are using all available spaces in all schools even though they are considered to be substandard. In 1964 the Senior High School problems should be alleviated with the open- ing of part of the new facility. The enrollment for grades 9/12 is predicted at 2,068 students and we should have space available for 2,100. The continued ren- ovation of the existing building should bring this building to its full use at a ca- pacity of 2,700 in September of 1965. However, in 1964 it will still be necessary to juggle the students to find places for them wherever possible. For example, the junior high schools will include grades 6, 7 and 8. Some elementary schools will include 1/5, while others house grades 1/6. The problem becomes even more acute in 1965. The Senior High School, with its full capacity available, will house some 8th grade students and all of grades 9/12. The two junior high schools will house some 5th grade students, some 6th grade students, and all 7th and 8th grade students. Some elementary schools will include grades 1/5, while others will have grades 1/6. It is not until 1966, with the opening of a new elementary school, that we will be able to return to a 6 -2 -4 arrangement. This means that we will be able to house 1/6 in elementary facilities, grades 7 and 8 in junior high schools, and grades 9/12 at the senior high school. It is hoped that in this year we will have facilities which will allow us some flexibility in the educational program to meet the needs of stu- dents rather than having an educational program which is limited by the physical facilities available. It should also be noted, however, that even if a new elementary school is opened in 1966, we will still be short 261 spaces for elementary students. This shortage in 1966 is the reason for the need of another elementary school in 1967. At that time we finally will have adequate elementary facilities, ade- SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 257 quate junior high school facilities, and adequate senior high school facilities. If the town sees fit to ccntinue the program as recommended by the school commit- tee, the Lexington Public Schools should, from that point, be adequately provided with a physical plant geared to a quality educational program which can meet the needs of each student. Any delay, by even one year, of this planned program between now and 197 can seriously jeopardize the education of our students. In closing this interim report, it is with extreme pleasure that I take notice of the return of Miss Margaret A. Keefe, principal of the Maria Hastings School, to her full -time duties. The absence of Miss Keefe during the last school year created a considerable void in our total school program. The fine work of Miss Helen Blinkhorn in assuming Miss Keefe's responsibilities reflected credit on the professional attitude of the staff in Lexington. Miss Hilda L. Maxfield, principal of the Parker School, who was seriously ill at the beginning of the school year, has now returned on a limited basis, and we hope she will continue to make good progress. Miss Maxfield's responsibilities were capably shared by Miss Margery McKenney and Mrs. Norma MacNutt. It is with extreme personal, as well as professional, regret that your Interim Superintendent notes the resignation of Mr. Merrill F. Norlin from our school com- mittee. The loss of Mr. Norlin's services to this very fine committee is indeed great. I cannot close 1hi annual report of my period of Interim Superintendency with- out stressing the wonderful cooperative spirit of the entire staff of the Lexington Public Schools. The work of the Teachers' Association and their leaders has been exemplary. They have cooperated with the administration and the school commit- tee to the ultimate. Theirs has been a truly professional attitude toward the im- provement of education in our community. I should also like to mention the help and cooperation of the Superintendent's Cabinet; each principal, department head, director and coordinator took on addi- tional responsibilities in order to continue progress in the Lexington Public Schools. This is noted with sincere appreciation. More specifically, I should like to express appreciation for the help that has been given to me by Mr. Paul F. Poehler, Jr., Director of Instructional Services; Mr. Richard G. Woodward, Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services; Dr. Henry L. Isaksen, Director of Pupil Personnel Services, and Mr. James Mac - Innes who has served as a part -time assistant in the office of the Director of Ad- ministrative Services. These four Gentlemen were the keys to the progress made during the period from July 1 to December 31. As to the future, we are all looking forward to the coming of Dr. Rudolph J. Fobert as Superintendent of Schools in Lexington. His background, experience and enthusiasm for quality education, and his sincere desire to become a part of a truly 258 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT fine educational program and system are noteworthy. In meeting with Dr. Fobert certain roles, criteria and goals to be accomplished have already been established. I shall take this opportunity to thank the Lexington School Committee publicly for its confidence in appointing me Interim Superintendent and, as of February 1, 1964, Assistant Superintendent of Schools with major responsibilities in the sec- ondary program for professional personnel and curriculum. With Paul F. Poehler, Jr. serving as Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Education, the key area of instruction will have our full -time attention, with the aim of continuing on the path of excellence in education. Respectfully submitted, MITCHELL J. SPIRIS, Interim Superintendent of Schools SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 259 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES Reports of principals in the three secondary schools and from three elementary schools, as well as the report of the Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services, will be part of this overall report. Each year reports from some elemen- tary principals will be included. Personnel This year Lexington has undergone several changes. One of the most out- standing was the loss of our Superintendent. Medill Bair, who became superintendent of schools in Carmel, California, on July 1, 1963. Lexington was fortunate and the school committee showed great wisdom in appointing Mitchell J. Spiris as Interim Superintendent of Schools, while, they, the members of the school committee, searched for a new superintendent. The school committee should be given great commendation by citizens of Lex- ington for their diligence in searching for a replacement for 'Mr. Bair. Many hours and many evenings of personal sacrifice went into this. It was with great pleasure, therefore, that we all hailed their selection of Dr. Rudolph J. Fobert to become superintendent of schools as of February 1, 1964. Other losses will affect the school system, notably the coming retirement of Manfred L. Warren, Assistant Director of Instructional Services, and the right -hand man of the writer. Mr. Warren spent over 35 years in the Lexington school system, most of these as principal of the Lexington High School. His loss already is keenly felt. Included with his loss at the secondary level are such dedicated people as Blanche L. Whelpley after some 47 years of service, and Mrs. Margaret H. Sand - berger who also retired on June 30, 1963. It was also sad to have the retirement of Mrs. Margaret Leake on December 1, 1963. At the elementary level, we shall miss Arthur Covell and Richard J. Clark, Jr., who became principals in other com- munities, and Mrs. Beatrice McInerney who accepted a promotion to become read- ing consultant in the Dedham school system. While these people were leaving, it was wonderful to welcome back Miss Mar- garet A. Keefe, principal of the Maria Hastings School. Miss Hilda L. Maxfield was temporarily absent as principal of the Parker School, since September, due to illness. It was nice to welcome her return early in December on a limited basis. The school committee appointed Miss Helen Blinkhorn to act as principal in Miss Keefe's absence, and recently appointed her a full -time assistant principal at the Maria Hastings School. Somewhat in the same manner Mrs. Norma MacNutt was available to fill in at the Parker School as acting principal until the full -time return of Miss Maxfield. 260 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT School - University Cooperative Relationships Lexington is continuing its cooperative relationships with nearby colleges and universities in the studying of advanced curriculum designs as well as the improve- ment of teaching. Arrangements are continuing this year with Boston University and Harrington School, Lesley College and the Adams School, and Brandeis Uni- versity with the Hancock School. Other requests presently being studied are those from Tufts and Wheelock College. High School The additicnal high school facilities should be ready by September 1, 1964. At that time the enrollment should be just under 2100. The additional renovations presently planned should be ready for September, 1965, giving us a capacity of 2700 pupils in the Lexington High School. While facilities are important, the school committee is not losing sight of out- standing programs presently going on in the school system. Improving these and strengthening others is a continuous process. The basic studies program is being strengthened in the Lexington High School. This program is now in its third year of operation and has students in grades 10, 11, and 12. Extending this slightly has been the work experience program presently being carried on for a number of boys and girls. Again the schcol committee showed great judgment in permitting the administration to use the services of Merrel A. Collard, Jr., in the development of this program. Curriculum Workshops During the past four years we have had between 30 and 50 teachers working on curriculum materials during the summer. Nineteen sixty -three was no excep- tion. Some of the projects undertaken were: 1. A language arts guide in grades 1/12 and a pilot study in social studies in grades 1/12, and the elementary social studies in grades 1/6, with special funds from SUPRAD. 2. Advanced program units were developed in grades 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9. 3. The science program at the elementary level was strengthened as well as a curriculum guide in grade 8. 4. The basic studies program had twelve teachers working for one month during the summer. What does the future hold in this direction? There are several areas upon which we would like to focus our attention. Mathematics, grades 1/12, and the art and music in grades 1/12, need restudy. The physical education program should be strengthened in grades 1/12. The industrial arts program in grades 7/12 needs considerable work. During the summer of 1964 we hope to have several people working on the language arts guide, rewriting those sections that need attention as indicated by exploratory work done during the school year 1963 -64. We hope to have at least SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 261 15 people working on social studies in grades 1/12. More advanced program units are needed, and the foreign language program, especially in French, needs the attention of a sizable group of people. Future There are two major areas that need serious consideration as we plan ahead in the next five -year period. These are a scope and sequence chart in each sub- ject for grades 1/12, and a revitalized testing program. Problems Every outstanding school system in America trying to improve, trying to be excellent, striving for the best for children has problems. Lexington has its share. We need better and more facilities for instruction. The building program from now through 1971 includes three elementary units of approximately 600 pupils and one junior high school for 900 pupils. This would permit us to remove the present partitions in the Hastings and Harrington gymnasiums and also to remove the partition from the lower area in the Hancock School. It would also permit us to have better size groups throughout the school system. Adequate and reasonable housing for teachers is a continuing problem in Lex- ington. Going back in the annual reports as far as 1910 one would find this same concern being expressed by previous writers. It makes little sense for the school committee and administration to seek out and employ outstanding, enthusiastic teachers and then find they cannot be located in or near Lexington. Since over 60% of the present staff lives outside of Lexington, we are losing some of the talent, the vigor, and the enthusiasm which these people could otherwise bring to this community if housing could be found within the limits of 'Lexington. In summary, the major problem facing Lexington is the location, selection, training, upgrading, and the retention of the most competent available teachers. Since the teacher is at the heart of the learning process for children, it is vitally important that everything possible be done to strengthen this part of our school system. In closing may I pay my personal respects to the school committee in appoint- ing Mitchell J. Spiris as Interim Superintendent of Schools. "Mitch ", as he is known to many, has been a steadying force during the transition period between the leaving of Medill Bair and the starting of his career in Lexington of Dr. Ru- dolph J. Fobert. Respectfully submitted, PAUL F. POEHLER, JR. 262 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL As school reopened on January 2, 1963, after the Christmas vacation, Lex- ington High School faced many problems, not the least of which was our over- crowded facilities. Overpopulation resulted in a very tight room situation, mount- ing class sizes, and uncomfortably clogged corridors and cafeteria. Another prob- lem was the spectre of double sessions which has since proved all too real. New construction to relieve this situation was finally approved and work com- menced in March. Somehow the visible progress from that time on has lightened the burden of crowding and double sessions. Meanwhile, in spite of privations, our educational program has been carried out effectively, and success in college placements last June exceeded previous records. In September we opened with a population of 1514 as compared to 1345 the preceding September. Double sessions for the 10th grade became a reality. A complex formula for the midday change -over permitted limiting the span of op- eration to a period from 7:11 to 4:07, and also provided for maximum overlap with 11 th and 12th grade classes scheduled between 8:05 and 2:19. The necessary elimination of a daily homeroom period produced complications in attendence- taking and student orientation, but students and staff rose to the occasion and maximum efficiency of operation was soon achieved. Ways were found to assure 10th grade pupils opportunities for extra curricular activities, special help, and athletic participation. In spite of these handicaps. the educational program has continued to move forward. A new mathematics elective for seniors offers instruction in the mathe- matical basis of computer operation. The English staff proceeded with plans, ger- minated in two summer workshops and more than a year of committee work, toward a more functional approach to language instruction. The social studies department is also carrying on curricular studies in summer workshops and in departmental committees toward continuity of instruction from grades 1 - 12. In science, the ap- plication of new approaches in biology, chemistry, and physics has been broadened to reach more pupils. The language department has made progress in coordinating method and content in French instruction whether started in grades 3, 7, 9, or 10. The class which first started French in grade 3 on a regular basis has now reached the 1 1 th grade. Advances in both the Advanced Program and the Basic Studies Program have marked this year. Both have been carried into a higher grade, with the Advanced Program reaching the 1 1 th grade, and the Basic Studies 'Program, the 12th. Sab- batical study has benefited the Advanced Program with the return of Dr. Constance Murray and Mr. Robert Kirk. New units prepared throughout last year and in the summer have added enrichment and depth to these classes. Extension of the Basic Studies Program has included the establishment of a work - experience program providing for credit - earning on- the -job training during school hours for students who can most benefit from this kind of experience. Though an outgrowth of Basic SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 263 Studies planning, this program is not limited to those enrolled in Basic Studies classes. Our professional staff grew from 93 in September 1962 to 106 in September 1963. Two teachers returned from sabbatical leaves and two others are absent for this reason this year. Three others were granted leaves of absence for further study. Three costly retirements this year are worthy of special note: Blanche Whelpley, after 48 years of service in Lexington, Margaret Sandberger after 27 years, and Margaret Leake (December 1, retirement), after 34 years. Mr. Manfred Warren's forthcoming retirement marks the end of 35 years of service in Lexington. For 32 of these years, he served as 'Principal of the Lexington High School. These losses are difficult to sustain. However, in recent years the growing reputation of the Lexington schools has attracted a high caliber of young candidates from which we have been able to select capable and promising replacements. Our major challenge for the coming year lies in the organization of a program providing a more personalized relationship between the pupil and his school. We hope this can be accomplished by breaking down the total enrollment into units of 300 pupils closely associated with a staff of 10 -12 teachers and a guidance coun- selor. Continued increase in enrollment and the addition of the 9th grade will bring our next year's enrollment over the 2000 mark. Continued efforts proceed toward broadening and enriching our curriculum. This remains our primary concern despite dramatic changes in organization and scheduling. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES C. JOHNSON 264 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE WILLIAM DIAMOND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL In this era of critical analysis of public education it is with considerable pleasure and pride that we submit our third annual report to the superintendent of schools. The pleasure is derived from the day to day association with a fine faculty and a group of young people deeply fascinated by the world which they perceive. These are the basic ingredients for a very positive educational atmosphere. As we observe the overall effectiveness of such an environment we are often compelled to distinguish and assess the many and varied contributing factors. The major component, in our opinion, is the "atmosphere of excellence" established by the community. The parents of these young people know and appre- ciate the value of a quality education and, through their elected representatives, the school committee, they have structured the necessary guidelines. The instructional staff cannot help but react positively to this challenge. This is the type of environment which stimulates imaginative teaching and implies a freedom to move ahead or "step out." May we cite a few examples: 1. The new approach to the language arts through structural linguistics. 2. The emphasis upon concepts in the new design in our science cur- riculum. 3. The new and provocative approaches to mathematics. 4. The implementation of laboratory facilities to supplement the audio - lingual method of instruction in the foreign languages. 5. Revised techniques and the use of multiple sources in the history and social studies courses. 6. The increased utilization of experts from industry and the profes- sions in the classrooms. 7. Changes in staff patterns — cooperative teaching —large and small group instruction — regrouping of students as strengths and weak- nesses are recognized. 8. The acceptance of the arts as very ;mportant aspects of the school program. 9. The continued search for more effective communication between the home and school. Though brief, these illustrations are indicative of the educational trends developing in alert communities. These are not fads. The changes are consistent with the findings of sound psychological and educational research. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 265 Our students, when challenged, develop to limits not thought possible a few short years ago. We observe this daily, in the classrooms, in the areas of art and music, in their mature appreciation of varied aspects of our culture, and in their acceptance of additional responsibilities. Obviously, we are proud of our student body and the school staff. We believe the fine performance of these young people in educational activities is a direct reflection of the quality and effectiveness of their teachers. This should not imply satisfaction. There are still problems to surmount. In addition, the knowledge that other changes should make schools better is a continuous challenge to the entire staff. Respectfully submitted, JOHN M. HIBBARD, 266 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF MUZZEY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL This is the third annual report of the principal of Muzzey Junior High School. The first report attempted to explain the educational environment in which public schools are at present operating, the pressures and challenges this new environment is bringing to teachers, and specifically how the ' Muzzey Program is moving to meet them. The second report attempted to explain the rationale and goals upon which a good junior high school program is built, progress being made toward these goals, and a brief look at the future. Looking back at these reports, one wonders just how effective public education can be in creating attitudes which will help people to live together with under- standing of and respect for themselves and others, without fear, and with a strong commitment to a democratic society. The task is great and obviously must be shared by the home, the church, and the school. However, the effectiveness of the school seems to be in direct pro- portion to the amount of support it gets from the community. This does not imply simply financial support. Nor does it imply continual acquiescence to the recom- mendations of school administrators and teachers. Educators write of goals, programs, needs, problems, and plans for the future. They often wonder who reads their reports. how many read with understanding, how many disagree, and of those who disagree, how many make the effort to consult the real sources of information in order to create an informed criticism. The greatest support a community can give its public schools comes in the form of equal portions of well informed criticism and sincere praise. Next September Muzzey will house about 886 pupils in grades six, seven, and eight. We are confident that despite problems of space, curriculum, transportation, etc., we will provide a good program for all our pupils. We are continuing our study of better systems of marking and reporting, more effective use of teacher time and skills, and new grouping procedures, to facilitate instruction. Our counseling program is making an excellent contribution in the areas of pupil problems, testing, career information, and pupil placement. The Muzzey P.T.A. is working hard to fulfill its basic function of interpreting the school to the community. Efforts are being made to gather teacher and parent opinions upon which to base more meaningful and informative programs. We are looking forward to a busy, challenging school year. We will continue to do our best to provide the quality of education demanded by our community. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES HOWARD, SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 267 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF ADAMS SCHOOL The staff of the ADAMS SCHOOL has continued to focus its attention on our major objective —to provide the best education to each individual within the limits of that individual's intellectual potential. This objective has been met in many ways during the last school year. Education for All Parent- teacher conferences as an alternative method of reporting pupil progress have replaced written report cards from grades I through IV. This method of reporting to parents has been highly successful, and has permitted teachers to do a better job of informing parents concerning pupils' strengths and weaknesses. At the first grade level, we have introduced the Greater Cleveland Mathematics Program after working with it for a full school year in one of our classrooms. This program, carefully structured and widely tested in classrooms in the Mid -West, combines modern and traditional math concepts. It will permit our pupils to pursue a developmental modern math program prior to beginning S.M.S.G. in their fourth year. During the past four years, we have moved each youngster at a pace which is consistent, permitting him to undertake academic work of a succeeding grade level whenever he was ready to do this. At the conclusion of the last school year, we developed a unique approach to the grouping of pupils at the third and fourth grade levels. Multi -grade classes at both levels were developed. This concept forces a focus on the differences in individuals rather than on their likenesses or similarities. Multi-grading builds into a grouping schematic greater possibilities for flexibility in pupil assignment, more realistic attention to individual differences, and less structure around the concept of a grade level. While this innovation has been proceeding, the total staff has spent Monday afternoons in an in- service program, discussing and analyzing such topics as individual differences, reporting pupil progress, goals for elementary education, and kinds of school organization. The staff has found this to be a most rewarding and enlightening experience. In late November, several members of our staff completed a workshop on the construction of overhead projection materials. Under the direction of Richard G. Woodward, Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services, this workshop has concerned itself with the visual presentation of materials in a more meaningful manner. Emphasis has been placed on the method of deriving maximum impact in presenting educational concepts. The school library has continued to be an important resource in developing interest and appreciation in good literature. Mrs. Betty Tuttle and the parent - librarian group have expanded their service to our pupils. While we presently have an increasing collection of books, we are far under acceptable national library standards. Improvement in this area does require financial assistance for increasing the size of our book collection and extending professional librarian service. 268 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Staff In September, 1963, five new members joined our faculty; Mrs. Caroline Stevens returned to her position as Specialist in Foreign Language. As of September, 1963, it is also of note that over one - fourth of our staff is engaged in post graduate training at an accredited college or university. This school year has also seen the development of a school- university relation- ship with Lesley College in Cambridge. We have assumed an important role in training student teachers for Lesley, and have also shared several of our staff members in undergraduate, educational seminars at that college. It is our desire to improve and expand this relationship to the benefit of Lesley College and the Adams School pupils. Parent- Teacher Association The Adams P.T.A., as in the past, has had a most active and successful year. The publication of the Adams Newsletter, a periodical designed to inform the membership about the school and its programs, is now in its second year; increased' parent assistance has been afforded to the school library; the collection of lunch and /or milk money has continued. Most recently, a Teachers' Discretionary Fund has been developed to provide financial assistance to teachers who desire to pursue a professional improvement program. This P.T.A. has demonstrated its desire for excellence with "action." The Future Much remains to be done. Those of us who work with children are convinced" that greater improvement can take place only if we provide more instructional assistance to teachers. The daily responsibilities of the elementary school teacher are diverse and many; some of these responsibilities are of a non - professional nature, and detract from the actual function of a teacher. This situation can be improved by providing additional clerical and teacher aide assistance to full -time professional staff members. Then; we are convinced that greater time and atten- tion may be devoted to the individual child. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM' E. SIM, SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 269 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF FRANKLIN SCHOOL The year 1962 -1963 was the sixth in which Franklin School in partnership with Harvard University developed an organization to provide: . —a hierarchy of positions to make possible advancement of qualified personnel and fuller utilization of strengths within the team membership — cooperative planning by teachers leading to more efficient and interesting ways of presenting lessons, and also to more flexible and appropriate grouping of children — additional help for inexperienced teachers through cooper- ative planning and supervision — increased time for professional tasks through the use of teacher and clerical aides — opportunities for more extensive and effective use of me- chanical aids to instruction — the immediate availability of university personnel to carry on research. This year was the final year of development of the organization. During the school year 1963 -1964 the final report of the project is being compiled by Dr. Robert A. Anderson and Dr. John Bahner of the Research and Development staff. The team leaders and the principal form the administrative cabinet in the school. During the school year this cabinet discussed and decided upon ways for implementing ideas for the following: effective grouping of children for learning, efficient means for recording grouping of children, effective ways to report pupil progress to parents, improving the Franklin School Handbook for Teachers, use of available space in the school to promote effective learning situations for children, ways to encourage creativity and make team decisions that are carried out effec- tively. This cabinet made the work of the principal more effective. The senior teachers, team leaders, and the principal serve as the instructional cabinet in the school. Senior teachers are those who have an interest and special competency in teaching an area in the curriculum. During the school year this cabinet discussed the following: learning experiences to meet the needs of children in terms of the implications for teaching discipline, art, music, and the use of audio - visual aids; making use of the language arts guide prepared by the 1961- 1962 instructional cabinet; articulation between teams in sequences of instruction in language arts and mathematics; recommendations of Lexington pilot workshop regarding sequences in language arts; assessment of science instruction in terms of the extent to which we provide experiences that furnish opportunities to observe carefully, raise questions, formulate hypotheses, and explore to either substantiate or refute hypotheses. The role of the senior teacher requires continuously keeping abreast of the latest curriculum developments as well as an ever increasing knowledge of the content in a subject matter area through reading and university course work. 270 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT The majority of the senior teachers took advanced courses and did reading to help them in their difficult task of planning curriculum that is continuously updated. Each team of teachers held a meeting for the parents of the children in the team. These meetings provided opportunities for parents and teachers to discuss such topics as curriculum, discipline, reporting pupil progress, groupings of chil- dren, and homework. Both teachers and parents found these meetings valuable in establishing understanding of the goals of the school. In addition to the team meetings, a series of meetings to discuss curriculum was held on nights when the building was open for scout meetings. Teachers volun- teered to work with the principal in conducting these meetings. Mathematics, language arts, and some causes of reading disability were discussed. A group of volunteer mothers served in the library on a regular schedule arranged by Mrs. William Morrill to help by checking books in and out, shelving and cataloging books, film strips, and disc records. These mothers served faith- fully even in the stormiest New England weather. Other parents, as part of a service committee headed by Mrs. James Gordon, helped collate curriculum booklets for mathematics, physical education, and language arts. This committee also served as assistants when children took field trips with their teachers. Teacher aides and secretarial aides increased their competence as they con- tinued to work with the teaching teams. They are people of high calibre, and it is through their efforts that teachers could accomplish the teaching, the diagnosis of pupil needs, and the planning to promote further learning. We need the services of a trained school librarian full time if the school library is to become what it should be: —the heart of the school —a resource center for children and teachers. We will need more space than we now have to house the appropriate number of books, references, film strips, projectuals, tapes, disc records and the like. Respectfully submitted, ETHEL B. BEARS, SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 271 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF MUNIROE SCHOOL At this date, Munroe School has an enrollment of 267. There are two first grades, one second grade, one third grade, one combination second and third grade, one fourth grade, one fifth grade, two sixth grades, one educable class, and one trainable class. Children in the special classes come from seven of the elementary schools in town and one from out of town. Munroe School will be able to handle the enrollment of pupils within walking distance in 1963 -1964 and probably 1964 -1965. A redistricting will probably be necessary after that. Again, as last year, I urge consideration of establishing a new dividing line at Worthen Road. Munroe School experiences the normal turnover of staff. One teacher left this year to teach in Junior High School. Special teachers work with Munroe School children and teachers in the areas of art, music, and physical education. Children in grades one, two, three and four have physical education with Mr. Vincent Messina, one period a week, while children in grades five and six have two such periods each week. The gymnasium facilities at Munroe School hamper the program to some extent but in fair weather physical education classes are held out of doors. Art is taught by Mrs. Arlene Hunt one period per week in grades one through six. James Mitchell teaches music two periods per week in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, and one period each week in grades one through three. In addition to work in the classroom, Mr. Mitchell has the glee club from 8:30 to 9:10 two mornings each week. Munroe School has the services of a science consultant one half day each week, a reading consultant one half day each week, and a speech therapist one half day each week. These consultants work with children and teachers according to needs. French is taught in grade six with a selected group of pupils participating. Except for a small number, all children in third, fourth and fifth grades are in the French program. The S. M.S.G. mathematics program is in its third year at Munroe School. All children in grades four, five, and six are working with this material. Consultant service with Dr. Frederick Weaver is used by the teachers. Rinehart Handwriting system is being used for the fourth year. This year's program for teachers is somewhat different than in previous years. The consultant time is used with the teachers as needs are indicated. Even though Munroe School is one of the older buildings in town it has been kept in good repair and is reasonably pleasant and attractive inside. Educational materials and equipment used at Munroe School are comparable to those used in other buildings in Lexington. 272 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT On a typical day at Munroe School one may see a number of activities which might well be referred to as being "experiments," "innovations," "new look," etc., but we prefer to look upon all this simply as the way we are trying to meet the needs of the children at Munroe School. The school day for the Trainable Class was extended to 2:30 for all children on October 13. This was made possible by the employment of an assistant for Mrs. Turner. Respectfully submitted, MARGERY McKENNEY, SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 273 REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND SERVICES The office of Instructional Materials and Services has attempted to develop, over the years, a program of services designed to meet the instructional needs of teachers and students. Its formal beginning can be traced back to 1957, when a Director of Audio - Visual Education was employed to organize and develop this aspect of service to teachers and students. In 1959, with a new superintendent of schools in charge, a realignment of the school system's organizational structure saw this position, under the new title of Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services, enlarged to include direct responsibility to the Director of Instructional Services for development of both audio - visual and library services in the schools. The need for improved library services to match that of the growing audio - visual program became apparent to the professional staff, and in 1961 a Coordinator of Libraries was employed to develop this aspect of the program under the direction of the Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services. In 1957, with a school system of 5043 students and a professional staff of 226, there was a librarian in each secondary school, but none at the elementary level, and no audio - visual personnel at either level. Since that time, the program has expanded gradually to its present staff complement, serving 7393 students and a professional staff of 455. This staff includes: Professional Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services Coordinator of Libraries "Secondary Schools Audio Visual Coordinator (part -time) 2 senior high librarians 2 junior high librarians (1 each, Muzzey and Diamond) 3 elementary school librarians serving 9 schools i9 elementary school building audio - visual coordinators 2 junior high building audio - visual coordinators (part -time) Secretarial & Clerical 1 secretary to the Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services 2 part -time clerical assistants to the Coordinator of Libraries (total 45 hrs.) 1 clerk at senior high library This staff falls far short of the recommended standards of both the American Library Association and the N.E.A.'s Department cif Audio - Visual Instruction. * has full responsibility for senior high audio - visual program and also coordinates total secondary audio - visual program. Teaches one course in social studies at senior high t these people are full time classroom teachers with no released time for their audio - visual responsibilities 274 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT The annual school report for 1962 includes some fairly clear indications of the amount and scope of services provided by this office, but a brief summarization of some of the services provided by library and audio - visual personnel may be helpful here. Library — work with curriculum groups to evaluate and recommend biblio- graphic references to reinforce curriculum guides — assist students with independent study and research, helping them to find answers to specific questions or to satisfy their own curiosity — assist teachers in selection of materials for enriching classroom unit study — develop and teach lessons in the use of the library —card catalogs, bibliographies, reference books, periodical indexes, etc. — select books, magazines and other printed and non - printed ref- erence materials in consultation with teachers for acquisition —serve as instructional materials resource persons for student and teacher groups — conduct book talks after critical selection and reading of books chosen — catalog, classify, process books, pamphlets, filmstrips, recordings, etc. —in elementary schools, work with parents; at secondary level work with assistants —this involves planning, training, and supervision of their work on such non - professional tasks as stamping, pasting pockets, typing and filing catalog cards and circulation of books — develop budgetary requirements for library collections and fur- nishings —plan library physical quarters and specifications for equipment — provide two exhibits each year at the system -wide elementary teachers workshops —some 1500 current library books provided by over 50 publishers — cooperate with the public library on student use at both the elementary and secondary levels, providing them with anticipated study requests — organize and conduct Library Assistant Study Clubs — provide bibliographic and resource information to administrative and supervisory staff in their special areas — develop professional library collections in each of the schools Audio - Visual —work with curriculum groups to evaluate and recommend a variety of materials for the instructional program — films, filmstrips, disc SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 275 records, sl ides, overhead transparencies, flannelboa rd materials, etc. — develop specifications for purchase of audio- visual equipment — put it out to bid and evaluate bids received and recommend awarding of bids on basis of lowest bid meeting specifications — produce materials for local use (slides, recordings, charts) — maintain knowledge of developments in f eld of communications media and relate these to our own program (educational TV, programmed instruction, language labs, data processing, informa- tion retrieval, etc.) — develop budgetary requirements for audio - visual materials and equipment — analyze and maintain effective distribution procedures for audio- visual equipment, materials and ideas — procure and distribute films —done centrally for entire system on rental basis — organize and supervise annual instructional materials exhibit to keep staff alerted to latest developments in this area — provide staff with audio - visual materials for preview evaluation — done during year for individual teachers as well as through the annual instructional materials exhibit — encourage constant evaluation of teaching effectiveness in use of audio - visual methods and materials — train teachers and student groups in operation of audio- visual equipment — supervise maintenance and repair of audio- visual equipment — most done by electronics technician in maintenance department, but some done by commercial repair company. While the above functions are being performed in as effective manner as possible, there are certain handicaps, at present, to doing a thorough job. Student lessons in library skills and in- service training of teachers in audio - visual skills are both seriously hampered by lack of personnel, particularly at the elementary school level, where there are only 3 librarians for 9 schools and where the audio- visual coordinators are full time teachers, some with no background in audio - visual education. Comparison of our program with the recommendations of a "position paper" printed in the January, 1963 issue of Audio - Visual Instruction, a publication of the Department of Audio - Visual Instruction of the N.E.A. shows quite clearly that the services we currently offer to students and teachers fall far short of what is needed to meet the challenge of education for tomorrow's world. A brochure entitled "The School Library," published by Educational Facilities Laboratories also outlines the need for expanded instructional materials facilities and services for both pupils and teachers. It is the goal of this office to provide many of the 276 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT kinds of services outlined in these publications. Whether or not this can be done will depend in large part on the number and calibre of personnel employed. We do not look just for "librarians" or "audio- visual specialists," we look for pro- fessional people with enough imagination and vision to work successfully in a broad program of instructional materials and services. In engaging personnel to implement this program, top priority will continue to be placed on obtaining people with such imagination and vision. By continuing this practice, we can be certain that the instructional materials center concept will be developed most fully. One of our immediate needs is for the improvement and expansion of our library service program. Current national standards recommend trained library personnel at the ratio of 1:300 pupils. At the elementary level we now have 1:1405, and this is spread over 3 schools rather than responsibility of the librarian in one school. The rapidly expanding library collections and pressure from teachers and students for additional library service from the now part -time professional staff makes it highly desirable that full -time librarians be provided at least in each of the larger elementary schools as quickly as possible. National standards recom- mend that a full time professional person be employed for a school of 300 pupil enrollment with another to be assigned when a school reaches 600 pupils. The secondary schools also need additional professional staff. Another pressing problem is the inadequacy of present book and periodical collections. Appropriations for book and non -book materials for the 1963 school year have been made on a per capita basis throughout the system regardless of the current holdings of the schools. The total expenditure for books this year, including a commercial cataloging cost, was $40,571.00. Since none of the basic collections of books in the school libraries at present meets the quantity recommended by national standards, (an overall quantity of about 143,000 for 7,000 students — and we now have only about 40,000 total for the entire school system) the annual appropriation should be larger than a recommended average expenditure of $6.00 per capita. Sufficient appropriations should be allotted to meet the cost of the quantity of titles of magazines, newspapers, and pamphlet materials which the teaching program of the school requires to meet its needs. The continuing rise in the prices of these materials must be considered in each year's allocation which was, in 1963, a per capita expenditure of $.50 at the Senior High level, $.40 at the Junior High level, and $.30 at the Elementary school level. Additional funds should be provided for rebinding library books. It is recommended that an appropriation of supplementary funds above the per capita maintenance budget be allotted as quickly as possible to help bring the library collections up to recommended minimum standards. The total local book collection should be at least double its current size to meet the expanding needs of the teaching program. Another problem facing the schools is lack of space for adequate instructional materials centers. This will not be an easy problem to solve. Because of space cutbacks and other restrictions placed on construction of the new high school SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 277 278 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT addition, the instructional materials center there will open its doors with many inadequacies. In the planning of new schools, serious consideration is urged for provision of space not only for good instructional rnaterials centers, but also for classrooms which will free space for similar centers in existing buildings. A minimum requirement for the development in each elementary school building of an instructional materials center to serve a modern and changing instructicnal program would be a space equivalent to 2 classrooms, or 1800+ sq. ft. At Muz- zey, it would be desirable to have additional space adjacent to the present library area, while at Diamond, the use of room 207, adjacent to the present library would be desirable. That room was originally designed to serve as audio- visual headquarters in this building. The challenges in the area of instructional materials and services are clearly outlined. Given time, dedicated personnel and support. both financial and admin- istrative, the challenges can and will be met even more effectively than is presently possible. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD G. WOODWARD REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES The report of the Director of Administrative Services this year will be short duo to th3 circumstances of the dual responsibility as Director of Administrative Services and Interim Superintendent of Schools since July 1, 1963. The continued efficient operation of this division is a tribute to the personnel involved in the details of these activities. The fact that the director was able to delegate responsibility to various personnel and have continued efficiency is a real tribute to the type of people so involved. I would like, in this report to pay personal tribute to some of the people who have worked with me during my tenure in this position. To my secretary, Mrs. Gladys Washburn, who has agreed to stay on to become secretary to my successor, I owe a great deal of gratitude. Mrs. Washburn will be invaluable to the new Administrative Assistant (Business Services) in his orientation. The three persons who have been responsible for the accounts payable and the accounting procedure of the school system, Mrs. Lovett, Mrs. Maitland, and Mrs. Ward, have performed beyond the normal responsibilities of their positions and have, in spite of an increased load of purchase orders and bills, continued to operate without the need for additional help or additional time. Mrs. O'Connor and Mrs. Spears, who are responsible for the payroll depart- ments, have also continued to operate efficiently even though the number of personnel has continued to increase and our payrolls have become more detailed. Mrs. Priscilla Bartlett, who has worked as a part -time person in this division, continued to accept many responsibilities and a varied program to give relief to our division where needed. A very large tribute should be paid to Mr. William Casey, head of maintenance, repairs and custodians, who has continued to operate one of the most outstanding maintenance- custodial arrangements in public schools. Mr. Casey's leadership in this area is beyond a doubt one of the finest that can be found in this area of school work. His ability to carry out tasks and his ability to get the job done has saved the town of Lexington much in the way of expense. The division of administrative services, or the area of business services, as it will be called after February 1, 1964, will continue to be one of vital importance to the Lexington Public Schools. The operation of the transportation program, the maintenance and operation of all school plants, the supervision of the cafeteria program, the various business functions, including payroll and accounting, the bidding and purchasing of all supplies and equipment, the preparation and coordination of all reports, including SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 279 budgeting and short and long -range planning, and the recruiting of all non - certificated personnel will continue to be critical concerns to the efficient manage- ment of our school system. This will be the last report of the present Director of Administrative Services who is leaving this responsibility to accept a new role with the Lexington Public Schools, that of Assistant Superintendent of Schools with major responsibilities for personnel and curriculum on the junior and senior high school levels. It was with a great deal of thought and deliberation that this change was made. The present director has enjoyed thoroughly his eight years in this par- ticular responsibility and in the opportunity to create the most efficient operation possible for the Lexington Public Schools. Respectfully submitted, MITCHELL J. SPIRIS 280 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUPIL PERSONNEL SERVICES Introduction This is the third annual report prepared by the Director of Pupil Personnel Services. A review of the two previous reports lends perspective and gives a feel- ing of progress and accomplishment, not only of the Division of Pupil Personnel Services, but of the entire educational program in Lexington. Such a review also reminds one that many of the problems relating to the provision of an adequate program of pupil personnel services that have been noted in earlier reports still remain. However, 1963 is perceived as a year of progress. It is also viewed with a feeling of frustration and a sense of loss. Progress is reported below in specific detail. The sense of loss is based primarily on the resignation of Superintendent Medill Bair. The sense of frustration is based in general on a feeling that the com- munity has not seemed as united during this year, as previously, in its determina- tion to provide an excellent educational program. More specifically, it is based on the undeniable fact that the constant demand for services exceeds by far the amount of service that can be provided by the present staff. Perhaps this great demand is due in part, at least, to greater awareness on the part of people in the community of the availability of specialized help with their educational problems. Yet the fact remains that there are many pupils in our schools for whom the instruc- tional program is less effective than it might be or should be because of the pres- ence of problems and concerns that have a direct bearing on their performance as students. As long as such unmet needs are apparent, the feeling of frustration on the part of the members of the staff will persist. Progress in most areas related to pupil personnel services is difficult to measure and even more difficult to report. This is not true, of course, in such cases as the chid whose speech impediment is eliminated through effective speech therapy, the case of a pupil whose need for glasses is recognized and met, or in the case of a pupil whose reading deficiency is overcome through effective remedial tutoring. It is particularly true in cases involving the school counselor, the school psychol- oght, or the school social worker. Much of what goes on in the work of these spe- cialists is of such a highly confidential nature that it is not possible to report it or even discuss it openly without violating the trust placed in them by the pupils and their families. Much of the progress made by a pupil who is helped through coun- seling is of a nature that does not readily demonstrate itself to the observer, par - ticularly if the observer is a teacher or parent. Even in the presentation of illus- trative cases, confidentiality must be observed. Perhaps, then. the best measure of the success of certain aspects of the program of pupil personnel services is the positive feeling on the part of pupils: parents, and teachers toward these services. This admittedly is highly subjective, yet so real and meaningful that it cannot be denied. The achievements reported below, then, are really secondary to the main pur- pose of pupil personnel services which is to help pupils in ways that are not readily' SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 281 observed. Perhaps from these achievements which can be observed, however, progress can be inferred. Significant Achievements 1. Availablity of services to pupils. Counseling and other guidance services, health services, remedial and adjustive assistance, is available to pupils at all levels on a regular basis. Pupils may obtain these services by requesting them personally or through referral by a teacher, parent, or other person. Because of the heavy de- mand for such services, there is sometimes a delay,, especially at the elementary level. Now that this program is in its third year, I think we are more or less inclined to take it for granted and to overlook the fact that such availability of services to pupils as a part of a coordinated program is of recent origin in Lexington and that it is still the exception rather than the rule in school systems in this area and throughout the country. 2. Availability of services to teachers, parents, and others. Consultation serv- ices from a variety of specialists are available on a regular basis to teachers, prin- cipals, parents; and others. Here again, sometimes there is a delay in meeting the requests for consultation services because the demand for such services exceeds the supply. Frequently, this type of service is more helpful to a given pupil than direct contact with the pupil. Sometimes such consultation supplements work with individual pupils. Examples of this type of help are the meetings held by members of the pupil personnel services staff with the teaching teams, with the faculties of the various schools and with special groups such as the Advanced Program teach- ers; the work of the speech and hearing therapist with teachers of deaf students; innumerable conferences with parents, both by telephone and in person. Such con- sultations always focus on the ways and means of improving the educational pro- gram for individual pupils. They often result in referral to outside agencies and services when the needs of the case are such that they can be better handled or more appropriately dealt with by someone other t!-ar school personnel. They often result, also, in improved relationships between pupils and their parents. 3. Professional advancement of staff members. a. Educational. During the year, members of the staff of the Division of Pupil Personnel Services have continued to improve their professional competence through continued studies during the year. One staff member completed his doc- torate. Three staff members made further progress toward the completion of doc- torate degrees. One staff member completed a year of work beyond the Master's degree and was accepted to candidacy for a doctorate. One staff member took leave during the 1963 -64 school year to work on a Bachelor's degree. Several staff mem- bers took classes not related to degree programs. Four staff members taught grad- uate level courses in neighboring universities. Ten staff members participated in training programs by supervising interns or trainees on the job. One staff member was appointed an Associate in Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education. b. Other Professional Activities. Two staff members co- authored a book pub- lished by Houghton Mifflin & Company which has already attracted nation -wide attention. Several members of the staff authored articles that were published in a 282 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT variety of professional journals. Many members of the staff participated in profes- sional conferences as speakers, panelists and officers of professional organizations on local, state and national levels. 4. Improvement of Reading Program. In September, 1963, a remedial read- ing teacher with special training and experience in working with children who have specific language disabilities was added to the staff. This made it possible to en- large the remedial aspects of the reading program. However, the number of stu- dents referred for special help by the principals was far in excess of the number expected. The amount of time and attention, therefore, that can be paid to any given student is limited. Within the limits imposed, however, the indications are that this program will be very helpful to a number of students as a supplement to the work done by the elementary reading consultants and the regular classroom teachers. At the secondary level an effective program of reading instruction is continuing with a full -time reading specialist in each building. 5. Improvement of counseling services. Due to increased enrollment at the secondary school level, one additional counselor was added to the staff, making the total number of secondary school counselors in the schools eleven rather than ten. A very well - qualified counselor who has had several years' experience else- where was selected for this position from amongst a large group of applicants. In addition, a counselor was selected to replace Miss Blanche Whelpley who retired. She, too, is an experienced and well- trained counselor. Progress was made toward improving the counseling services by further discussion of the counselor's role description and by the adoption of a uniform reporting procedure in the three secondary schools. The counseling program in the Lexington secondary schools continues to draw favorable attention from many sources. The program as it was developed and operates in one of the schools has been described in detail in a book published during the year by two of these counselors. A research project concerning the evaluation of various methods of orienting students to counseling is under way at one of the schools. This is a doctoral research project and is being conducted by another of the c= unselors. Even though no further openings exist, applications for counseling positions in Lexington continue to come in at a rapid rate. 6. Improvement of school health services. Through some re- assignment of nurses and the addition of a part -time nurse to help with vision and hearing testing, the scope and quality of the school health program has been improved. A well - qualified nurse was appointed for one year to replace Mrs. Murphy, who is on leave to work on her Bachelor's degree. The school health council established earl- ier at one of the elementary schools on an experimental basis continues to operate as a model. A recommendation that a town -wide school council be established with representatives from the various schools has been made. This recommendation has not been acted upon as yet, but will be given further consideration during 1964. 7. Improvement of speech and hearing therapy program. Even though the two full -time speech and hearing therapists carry extremely heavy case loads of approximately :160 and 195 respectively, they have worked actively toward the SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 283 improvement of their program. They are cooperating with an electronics manufac- turing concern in the development and production of tapes and related materials that cart be used in working with articulation cases and perhaps other types of speech disorders. This is pioneering work of great significance which should not only improve the program in Lexington but should make it possible for other speech and hearing therapists throughout the country to improve their services as well. They are also engaged in the preparation of a research proposal that will make it possible for them to evaluate the effectiveness of this program. Other activities which have resulted in the improvement of the program include work with the parents of the children who are assigned to the class for trainable mentally re- tarded children and work with the teachers of two deaf children who are now at- tending 'Lexington High School. 8. Improvement of individual testing program. Under the direction of the Coordinator of Special Education, the program for testing all second - graders with an individual intelligence test has been refined and improved during the past year. New forms for reporting test results have been developed and a procedure for screen- ing these reports for the early identification of students with special needs has been developed. By using few examiners for longer periods it- has been possible to obtain closer liaison between the examiners and other members of the school staff, to the end that there is a more effective use of information obtained through the special testing program. 9. Establishment of Committee on Pupil Personnel Services. During 1963 a committee of SU'PIRAD was established to deal directly with the problems of eval- uating and improving pupil personnel services in the three participating com- munities — Lexington, Newton, and Concord. The directors of pupil personnel in these respective communities, together with the chairman of the Department of Counselor Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, constitute the membership of this committee. Several projects have been completed or are under way under the sponsorship of this committee. One such project was a research retreat held at the White Cliffs Inn at Plymouth in May. Forty -three members of the three communities represented spent a week -end deliberating on research ideas and proposals in the area of pupil personnel services, leading to the preparation of a package research proposal that will be presented to various funding agencies for financial support. It is anticipated that through this effort a number of signif- icant research proposals will be sponsored. Some are already under way with funds provided by SUPRAD. Others are proposed for the coming year. Another signif- icant project being sponsored by the Committee is the establishment of a training charter between Harvard and the three communities that will result in a much more effective program for training counselors and other pupil personnel special- ists through the cooperative efforts of the Graduate School and the communities involved. The Committee on Pupil Personnel Services is the first standing com- mittee of SUPRAD. All others have been task or project- oriented. This is seen by members of the committee and by others as a very significant development. Areas Needing Improvement As implied earlier in this report, some aspects of the program continue to concern us. None of the problems are so overwhelming that they cannot be dealt 284 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT with in time by a competent staff which has the support and cooperation of the administration and the community. The detailing, therefore, of these areas need- ing improvement is not intended to be negative in any way but rather to be a posi- tive challenge for the years ahead. They are presented with the assurance that the community and the school administration are eager to make the improvements necessary in order to assure an adequate program of pupil personnel services as a part of a totally adequate school system. 1. Size of staff. We are aware of the principle known as Parkinson's Law. It is difficult to know, sometimes, whether the apparent need for additional serv- ices is the result of the operation of this law or the result of valid needs that have not yet been met. We are also aware of the fact that there is a limit to the school's responsibility in terms of meeting the personal needs of pupils. However, we can- not escape the conviction that in most areas related to pupil personnel services in Lexington the present staff is simply not adequate to meet the needs that are the legitimate concern of the schools. This conviction is based not only on observation of the present situation in Lexington, but also on the recommendation of profes- ional groups and the practice of other school systems. More specifically, with respect to the counseling consultants we have a total of four, some of whom spend a portion of their time at the secondary level; ignoring that, the number of ele- mentary school children per counseling consultant is more than 1000. The rec- ommended ratio is 1 to 400. Obviously, the present staff will be unable to meet the needs of elementary students for the kind of help that these people can give. Even admitting that the recommended ratio may be based in part, at least, on Parkinson's Law, it seems unlikely that a staff of four counseling consultants can do an adequate job of counseling with students and consulting with parents and teachers for an enrollment of more than 4000 students. In the case of the speech therapists, we have two for a total enrollment of 7420 students. The ratio recommended by the American Speech and Hearing Association is one full -time therapist for each 2000 students. Stated in another way, the recommended maximum case load for each therapist — that is the num- ber of students who are actually receiving speech or hearing therapy — is 100 for each therapist. Our present therapists are carrying loads of 160 and 195 respec- tively. It is recommended further that speech therapists meet with each child at least two times, and preferably three or four times, per week. With the present case load it is possible for our therapists to meet only once a week with each child of group of children. The need for additional speech therapists seems obvious. With respect to the reading specialists, we have a total of seven in Lexington for an enrollment of more than 7000, or a ratio of one to 1000 or more. The rec- ommended ratio is 1 to 600. The amount of time and attention that can be given to any individual student is very limited. Adequate services would require a larger staff. In the case of the nurses, the ratio this year is 1 to 1400. Because of varying conditions from one community to another it is difficult to establish a recommended SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 285 tion of at least two nurses to the staff. ratio but 1 to 1000 seems minimal. To meet this standard would require the addi- The one area in which the size of staff is adequate to meet recommended standards is school counseling. We have eleven school counselors for approximately 3200 secondary school pupils. With this exception, then, it seems that size of staff is one area that needs considerable improvement. The addition of some staff members is essential in order to maintain the present program and such additions have been provided for in the 1964 school budget. The addition of others is highly desirable or desirable and budgetary requests for adding staff in these areas were made. However, the compromises necessary to keep the budget within reasonable bounds resulted in the elimination of most of these additions. It is to be hoped that the size of the staff can gradually be increased, not only to keep up with the growth of the school system but to provide for the improvement of services in these areas where addi- tional staff members are so urgently needed. 2. Over-all testing program. Serious doubts have been raised in recent years about the validity of some of the basic assumptions underlying the type of testing program that prevails in most public schools. It was recommended in the 1961 annual report of the Director of Pupil Personnel Services that a thorough study of testing as it applies to the school situation be undertaken. This recommendation is renewed. It is recognized that this is an area that involves more than the Pupil Personnel Services Division and, therefore, any such study should involve the other divisions as well as representatives of the community at large. Such a study might well also include a review of the use of cumulative records in the schools and the basic assumption underlying their use. 3. Placement of students. As indicated in previous reports, there is a need for continual re- appraisal of the procedures being used for the placement of students in educational programs, and for more flexibility in meeting the needs of some students, particularly those who have demonstrated their inability to function suc- cessfully in the present academic program. This, also, is an area that requires the consideration of the entire school system and representatives of the community. Some progress has been made by the establishment of the Basic Studies Program and the Work -Study Program at the high school. 4. Communication and Coordination. Communication, it seems, is an area needing constant improvement. While some progress has been made in developing good reporting procedures and in improving lines of communication between mem- bers of the staff of this Division and others, there is still need for improvement in this area. Also, it would be helpful if there were better definitions of the areas of responsibility and of the means of coordinating the functions of the different divisions. With the pending reorganization of the Division of Instruction, perhaps this problem will be somewhat less acute. Basically, the improvement of commu- nications and coordination can be effected through increasing the staff and thereby the time available for conferring with other members of the staff and for the writing of reports. In the face of urgent needs for counseling, consultation, 286 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT and other specialized services, it is difficult to set aside time for routine com- munication and reporting. In times of pressure these are the areas that seem least important and, therefore, are neglected. However, in perspective, such neglect frequently complicates operational procedures, leads to confusion, and to lack of understanding on the part of other members of the staff as to what is being done. Summary Again, it should be pointed out that progress in this area of pupil personnel services is, in most instances, difficult to measure and difficult to report. It is sincerely hoped that the significant achievements reported above and the areas needing further improvement will help to clarify the status of this phase of the educational program. However, it is recognized that regardless of how carefully worded and how complete an annual report may be, it is entirely inadequate as a means of communicating all that should be communicated with respect to the dynamics of an on -going program involving nearly seven and one -half thousand pupils in the community. It is to be hoped, therefore, that parents, citizens at large, members of the school staff, and any others who are interested will take advantage of the opportunity to confer directly with the Director and with mem- bers of the staff whenever such a conference will better meet the needs of an in- dividual pupil. Frequently, a two or three - minute telephone conversation will clar- ify a point or initiate some needed action. On other occasions, a more extended personal conference may be necessary or perhaps a written communication. In any case, a request for information or action regarding the program of Pupil Personnel Services will be met with dispatch and with courtesy and, we hope, with satisfaction. Respectfully submitted, HENRY L. ISAKSEN SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 287 REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF THE SCHOOL FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM In September 1955 prior to the opening of Maria Hastings Elementary School the present coordinator consolidated Adams and Fiske Parent - Teacher Association programs with all while managing Muzzey and Senior High Schools. Since then four programs and two renovated kitchens have evolved. Much of the initial plan- ning, specification for small equipment bidding and recapitulations rests with the coordinator besides providing a competent staff to man a new cafeteria. The past eight years has been progressive to meet continual growth. The ap- pointment of a capable and dedicated assistant at the Senior High School six years ago plus a part -time efficient versatile secretary in 1958 has contributed to uninter- rupted continual growth and success of our present nine food service operations and twelve special milk programs. To serve the best interest of the total school system it involves all administrative personnel, the professional and non - certificated staff at each building as well as each pupil and his parents. Ten years ago the coordinator was released from classroom teaching. Since then pupil counseling has continued and unsolicited parent conferences concerning health problems are common. More and more students seek information and re- quest materials from the School Lunch Office for nutrition study of personal health problems; some have made actual weight and growth studies. The present location at Muzzey Junior High School affords limited instructional supplies. Administrative duties of the coordinator concern establishing state Department of Education and business liaison, research, personnel interviewing, placement of employees, supervision, training on the job, analysis of work schedules, records or data, initiating workshops or planning monthly meetings, revision of all employ- ment policies as approved by the Superintendent, besides the establishment of financial controls, preparing budget items, setting purchase standards for food and equipment, planning basic menus, preparing periodic reports or articles, and par- ticipating in National, State, County workshops and local health programs to foster nutrition teaching and the use of school lunchrooms as a rich resource for health education. Constant community contacts include planning special events with Parent - Teacher Association groups or civic organizations. Actual business practices of the coordinator deal with consolidating State Commodity Orders, reports for monthly claims based on daily and monthly building figures summarized by each school manager, maintaining employee records, authorization of semi - monthly payrolls and analysis and reporting of all monthly profit and loss with other financial state- ments. The coordinator's attendance at the Massachusetts School Food Service Association, the State Home Economics Association and Massachusetts Eastern Sec- tion Executive Board are a source of exchange that adds to the professional growth 288 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT and the status of Lexington Food Service Program. At this time I will not attempt to explain accounting, bookkeeping and centralized purchasing practices involving a yearly 7,500 bill processing business as briefly stated in the 1962 Annual School Report. Some of the maintenance and safety practices are also mentioned. Pupil daily lunch participation (4,022) shows a 22 daily decrease at this writ- ing than a year ago, although on a yearly basis over a 20,000 increase. Based on a two- thirds percentage, pupils on double session figure a 532 daily or 19,000 lunch potential. Pupil with teacher lunches total some two- thirds of a million count. The milk used in both programs, lunch and milk, shows over one and one -third million half -pint cartons. The Summer Program or an additional 12,000 decreased 6,000 count. Adequate Lunch Year Pupil Teacher Total 1962 610,119 40,498 650,617 1963 630,085 40,541 670,626 Special Milk 1962 657,596 22,177 679,773 1963 729,574 28,753 758,327 1962 Pre -First Grade Summer School 18,102 1963 Pre -First Grade Summer School 12,193 Menus Secondary schools continue dual menus daily except the Senior High wherein a third packed lunch is retained by pupil request. To improve food management as to better cost control, easier planning and greater variety, we initiated a six - week cyclical menu in September in the six elementary schools. Variations and appeal are possible. The cyclical menu provides opportunity for more individual pupil preference and maintains flexibility and left -over utilization. Operational advantages occur in menu making, forecasting, purchasing, production, training and service. Sanitation and Safety Managers at each cafeteria prepare and serve all food under the highest stand- ards of personal cleanliness and proper food handling. Medicals, check lists, ac- cident prevention procedures, staff and local Board of Health inspections insure wholesome conditions. The local Board of Health sanitarian from his periodic checks reports all multi use utensils and plate count satisfactory as to bacteriacidal treatment. Another local service is rendered by our fire chief directing inspection and instruction of our personnel fire protection in all school kitchens. Home Economics Muzzey and Diamond Junior High Home Economics classes continue to use commodities available under the United States Department of Agriculture direct distribution program; a cost of $21.62 to the Town of Lexington, or a $319.73 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 289 saving. The items used as figured in poundage are: 333 butter, 800 flour, 10 cornmeal, 63 dried milk powder, 54 shortening and 40 cheese. These six items, according to teachers, were not only an economy but produced new management techniques in planning dry mixes and in freezing batters; designed for 55 minute laboratory lessons. Muzzey Junior High School Home Economics teachers with their girls joined the coordinator for a conducted tour of their cafeteria kitchen and a discussion to precede a nutrition unit. Seventh grade girls wrote original health slogans for Pennant Day during National School Lunch Week. Personnel and Special Activities Sixty dedicated women work regularly; 15 more serve on the substitute list. Less withdrawals this year were due to one moving, another catering, three family obligations, one surgery and one non - interest. All managers have attended some professional meeting either national, state, regional or a local workshop. Other food service staff have been well represented at the Massachusetts School Food Service conferences. Many of the managers' as- sistants attend local monthly meetings regularly. Some 30 luncheons, dinners or teas for school or civic organizations continue to be effectively served by school lunch staffs in addition to their daily schedules. A few examples of top performances are the John Hay Fellows Program banquet, Franklin Beta Pupil- Parent Breakfast, Athletic Association dinner, Hastings Parent - Teachers' Association suppers, the Lexington Teachers' Association Strawberry Festival, and Learning Center luncheons for elementary professional staff. Creditable mention and staff achievements aid school performances as: 1. Our first scholarships granted to Harrington eh-el-Hastings Man- agers at the University of Massachusetts summer workshop held at Amherst. Both were awarded college certificates. 2. Adams and Harrinc:ton school managers two day attendance at the National Food Service Convention in Atlantic City besides the 5 days attendance by the Coordinator. An invaluable con- ference attended by the coordinator was a three session 3 hour University of Massachusetts extension course in Nutrition in November concerning current materials to teach young people nutrition. 3. Continued membership in the American School Food Service Association. 4. Contributing to the Massachusetts School Food Service Associa- tion Newsletter. 5. Cooperation with teachers and pupils like French Day at Hast- ings, parent breakfasts at Franklin and Estabrook. 290 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 6. Promoting National School Lunch Week or "Food for Learning" for all boys and girls. Open house at Estabrook created more parent interest. The distribution of Home Economics class pen- nants at Muzzey Junior High aroused more pupil interest in health. 7. Preparing and displaying interesting decor, especially holidays, to interest children. 8. Assisting in the teaching of two Garland Junior College student trainees during a basic three week internship and course that the coordinator planned with the college. According to the col- lege Department Head the course content and the training plus evaluation was rewarding. 9. Managers accepting new procedures and more routine practices to improve business efficiencies. 10. Continuous service beyond the call of duty, encouragement to children to learn to taste new foods, special guidance to the needy, and in a few cases serving breakfast. 1 1 . Promotion of our bread projects; a 17,128 production, topped by 5,452 loaves over last year's figure; also our 415 roll mak- ing increased 179 dozen. 12. Guiding our future citizens to use School Lunch as a learning tool every day; especially at the secondary level wherein simple business practices, public relations, and local ordinances are prac- ticed.

Operational results for the period from July 1, 1962 through February 28, 1963 were verified as correct and satisfactory pertaining to income from lunches, Federal and State reimbursements plus other. All potential income was checked against actual figures. Operational for this period disclosed a net gain of $1,787.67. The average monthly expenditures at this time were $32,667.95. The percentages based on each dollar of income expended for the overall program were: Food 57.6 %, Labor 34.3 %, Other 6.2 %, Equipment .9% and a 1.0% gain. The daily student attendance participation averaged 65.36% in the National School Lunch Program. In regard to United States Department of Agriculture donated commodities received this same period, storage facilities were considered adequate with the exception at Fiske Elementary School. The remainder of this audit reports claim data and reconciliation with the town auditor as correct and that records are main- tained in accordance with the National School Lunch Program, Special Milk and Direct Commodity Distribution Program requirements. Summary The fourfold functions of the School Lunch Program are: (1) to provide an adequate and satisfying noon lunch for pupils and teachers, (2) to aid pupil social and emotional growth, (3) to provide nutrition learning opportunities for children that (4) will project into the community. All new schools since consolidation opened without a starting operational bal- ance. Three or four years is usually necessary prior to a program become self - sustaining. It is interesting to note growth financially since consolidation — a $67,000 business enlarged to over one -third a million dollars. The new freezer - refrigerator compartments and waste disposer at Muzzey Junior High aids work simplification schedules, improves sanitation standards and SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 293 lessens the use of our school truck. Freezer space will be less of a problem with the renovation at the Senior High School except at Harrington Elementary School. Relocation of our improvised bakery at Diamond Junior High School is imperative with the Senior High renovation due to increased participation at Diamond and usage of the teachers room for productivity. Requests for written organizational materials and our salary guide continue nationwide besides usage at the summer University Workshop. Invitation to com- plete surveys by surrounding towns cover salaries, management and training. Future and immediate projections should include enlarging the present school lunch office or relocation to house additional office equipment and employ more secretarial help. Principals and teachers every day, especially art specialists during National School Lunch Week, gain pupil interest and activate more pupil participation. Com- bined elementary and Junior High school boys and girls submitted 130 posters; 41 received honor for artistry or originality — 35 were awards at the elementary level. Each year School Lunch becomes more of a teaching tool as: (1) actively sup- ported by principals and teachers, (2) the local press publications of our stories, also State School Lunch Newsletter and School paper releases, (3) activities spon- sored by the Franklin School Health Council, (4) sponsorship by the School -Com- munity Relations Committee, (5) issues of the Parent- Teachers' Council, the Lex- ington School Bulletin, and (6) special conference requests. Town wide support with the School Committee and School Department action with planned pupil activities by the teaching staff advance the educational role of this vital health service. Due to this support we face each year with renewed encouragement and effort to make our School Food Service Program a lasting ed- ucational experience for all children.
