interested citizens of the Town As the Town enters its 250th year your Board of Selectmen looks back with whose assistance has been most valuable, our sincere appreciation pride at the orderly

two limited access State Highways to be constructed in the Town, Route 2 (widening and relocation) and Route 3 (extension) This Board, the Planning Board and a number of interested groups of citizens have launched a vigorous campaign to mitigate the damages to be caused by such construction and to preserve and pro- test the areas affected Meetings with State and Federal officials to examine plans

disappointing to We feel the unusually beautiful floats reflect the interest of our townspeople in the committee giving so generously of their time Early in 1962 Mrs Patricia N Fox of our committee, contacted all clergy in Members of the Lexington Historic Guides Association, in colonial costume an effort to determine if possible the reason for the low attendance were on the Green throughout the day to give historical talks to the many interested After studying her very complete report, the committee felt the general lack visitors of interest in the service warranted its discontinuance, and the Board of Selectmen A House Decorating Contest, initiated by the local JayCees revived a custom at their meeting Oct 1 1962, voted to relieve the Town Celebrations Committee which had not been practiced for many years of its responsibility for the service Eric Handley, of Lexington High School, was the official photographer, and 250th Anniversary the films of this parade, as well as of the

areas during 1962 1 The quality and quantity of instructional materials was substantially increased in each of the academic areas 2 The expansion of library facilities included additional volumes, peri- odicals, and audio visual materials 3 The use of late buses has extended the school day and this increased the participation in after-school activities and the use of the library 4 A modern science laboratory with individual work units was installed during the summer 5 The science staff developed an improved laboratory program for the seventh grade to more effectively utilize the new laboratory facilities 6 The mathematics department continued to seek the best of the newer approaches to "modern" mathematics The University of Illinois program now includes two sections in grade eight and one section in grade nine. 7 A new high was recorded in the number of staff members accepted for summer institutes. 8 The addition of a teacher to the English staff and modifications in the schedule permitted an increase in instruction time and a greater emphasis on developmental and remedial reading 9 Members of the English staff participated in the system-wide effort to develop a

Respectfully submitted, express purpose of assisting the teacher to meet the school's prime purpose, "to give each child the opportunity to make optimum progress" LESTER E GOODR I DGE,JR Principal Some significant gains of this year's search were 1 The establishment of a teacher resource file This is a collection of teacher- made activity sheets, individualized programs, lessons, drill exercises, and the like All materials in the file are teacher constructed, and are available at all times for all teachers The file serves a dual role First, it is an "idea bank" for teachers Second, it is a sharing exchange to offset the duplication of effort 2 Grade level meetings to refine and reinforce the curriculum Each grade level met once a week to work on a specific phase of the curriculum The work involved the reading and reporting of current research and the writing of suggestions and plans for expanding the current curriculum The accomplishments include (a) The first-grade teachers and reading specialist wrote a "Guide for First- Grade Teachers in the Teaching of Reading", (b) The second-grade teachers developed a comprehensive diagnostic test for determining the reading level of youngsters, (c) The third-grade teachers compiled suggestions for teaching written language, (d) The fourth-grade teachers developed a language guide, (e) The fifth-grade teachers constructed a diagnostic instrument for assist- ing intermediate teachers to determine the reading strengths and weak- nesses of intermediate grade pupils, and (f) The sixth-grade teachers compiled and wrote a bibliography of social studies resource books Gains of this type were made possible through the combined, relentless efforts of the classroom teachers As a result, the teacher is that much closer to servicing the individual needs of youngsters This search must continue Instructional techniques will have to be revised Individualized programs must be expanded More and better materials are

position she directed the kinds of activo-;es ation It is also due to the effective support the program has had from the ad- that she is now providing in Lexington Another member of the staff was for several ministration, the principals and teachers of the schools, the students and the pa- years the Director of the program in which she now serves for the Commonwealth of rents While few, if any, of the services offered by the Division were new this Massachusetts A third member of the staff has completed two advance degrees year, I have the feeling that they were rendered more effectively than they have in his field and is in demand in various parts of the country as a professor of coun- been in the past, primarily because of the focus that was given to these services seling Instead, he prefers to work in Lexington as a counselor We have just by the creation of this Division cause, I feel, to be proud of these people and of Lexington for making their posi- trons here attractive enough to compete successfully for their services with other Consider, for example, the case of Tom, a boy of elementary school age, whose employers It is significant to note that all members of the Division except one bout with polio left him not only physically handicapped but behind in school and returned for the 1962-63 school year quite upset emotionally His family moved to Lexington shortly before school Most of the members of the Division were involved in one way or another with opened in the Fall His parents' first contact was with the principal of the school professional activities on

therefore the services of the reading specialist would be needed yet within the realm of practicability After several meetings and much discussion, as well as sub-committee work between meetings, a document was agreed upon and It was fortunate for Tom that the help of all these specialists was immediately copies of it were circulated to members of the administrative staff, including prin-

these people was to define their roles in such a way that their another as a clinical psychologist, a third as a social worker, and the fourth as a respective professional competencies would be fully utilized without too much school counselor at the elementary level With this variety of professional back- overlapping or duplication of effort In my opinion, they were able to accomplish ground and experience and with the differences of opinion regarding specific cases, this task very well and, in general, I feel that their services as a team during 1962 each member of the team has been able to strengthen and supplement the opinions have been very effective and activities of the other members of the team The availability of these mental health specialists has resulted in some excellent in-service training activities as They received more than 200 referrals during the year However the real well as in effective consultation services for individual teachers and principals story of
