REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN December 31, 1962. 39 To the Citizens of Lexington: As the Town enters its 250th year your Board of Selectmen looks back with pride at the orderly development of the Town from a tiny rural community to an attractive metropolitan suburb. It is hoped that this concern for the future and pride in the past will continue to make Lexington a better place to live. To most citizens the year 1962 will be remembered as the year in which the revaluation of the taxable real estate in the Town was completed. The results were reflected in the 1962 tax bills. The Board of Assessors has now been provided with a recent inventory of property and a much needed set of maps and aerial pho- tographs to assist it in its duties. Under the direction of the Board, Charles M. Evans & Associates have prepared a job classification and compensation plan covering all Town employees under the Selectmen. This plan has been tentatively adopted and implementation will be voted upon at the 1963 Annual Town Meeting. A major section of Worthen Road extending from Massachusetts Avenue to Waltham Street was completed and opened for travel. Further work on this im- portant addition to the Town road system is proceeding in the area east of Waltham Street. The Woodhaven area trunk sewer has been delayed pending a decision on the expected award of Federal aid. This decision is expected in sufficient time to permit the start of construction in the simmer of 1963. Preparation of the new refuse disposal area southerly of Hartwell Avenue is approaching completion. It is anticipated that the Lincoln Street site will be grad- ually closed as the new area starts operations. The 1962 Town Meeings authorized the acquisition of several additional rec- reation areas and future school sites. Details of these areas may be found in this report under the Town Clerk's report of the meetings. The Board urges that this policy of orderly increase of Town -owned open areas be ccntinued. A definite threat to the character of the Town has arisen in the form of 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 and suggest desirable changes have been held and will continue. At this time it is expected that construction on the Route 2 project may start during 1963 while the Route 3 project being related to the "Inner Belt" plan will be several years away. 40 BOARD OF SELECTMEN The Executive Assistant employed by the Board of Selectmen in 1961 left to take other employment. A number of applicants have been interviewed for this position and selection is expected at an early date. The Board considers such assistance essential to the efficient discharge of its duties. May we express to the Town employees and the interested citizens of the Town whose assistance has been most valuable, our sincere appreciation. Respectfully submitted, ALAN G. ADAMS, Chairman LINCOLN P. COLE, JR. OTIS S. BROWN, JR. NORMAN J. RICHARD LEVI G.

As 142 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY has been the case in the past years, the estimated cost per dwelling was up this past year, showing a rise of 12% over 1961. Outstanding among permits issued in 1962 were two religious buildings, Tem- ple Emunah and Temple Isaiah, the Kennecott Research Laboratory Building on Spring Street, and the start of construction on the Emerson Garden Apartments on Maple Street, which will include 58 dwelling units for the initial nine buildings. The proposed widening of Route 2, the continued work on Route 128, and the development of the Federal Park Project have resulted in an unusual number of house re- locations and demolitions. There were 58 complaints received by this Department that required attention, the great majority being related to Zoning. One of these went to court and another is in the hands of the Town Counsel for action. The increased activity in commercial construction has made it necessary to spend more time on plan examination and field inspection, for the inspections and details involved in such construction are increased multifold over the usual dwell- ing construction. The additional time involved, of course, is felt by the Plumb- ing an Electrical Inspectors, as well. The Building Department wishes to thank all the Department and Officials for their assistance during the past year. Respectfully submitted, DONALD K.

CHADWICK, Sealer of Weights and Measures To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: This is the first annual report submitted by the present Director of Civil Defense. This year was one of change and progress. The transfer of the Federal Civil Defense program to the Department of Defense in 1961 resulted in a major change in emphasis from Family to Community Shelters. The concept of Community Shelters has been favored by the Lexington Department of Civil Defense as offering a better base for survival and recovery. Shelters The Army Corps of Engineers and personnel of the Alonzo B. Reed Corp. working with local Civil Defense personnel conducted a Federal sponsored survey in Lexington of all buildings which offered potential shelter space for fifty or more people. The results of the second phase of this survey are now available and indicate that sufficient shelter spaces are now available or in existence as the result of minor building modifications for the entire population of Lexington. The survey indicates potential Community Shelter spaces in Lexington for 38,970 people. Spaces for 17,535 people can be used as they now exist. Space for an additional 21,435 people can be provided with modification of existing space. This modification has an average cost of approximately $11.50 per individual space and in most instances consist of installation of mechanical ventilation and the necessary standby electrical power to operate the ventilation. To the above figures should be added several thousand spaces which exist in home shelters and smaller buildings. Twenty -six buildings in Lexington have space which can presently be used as shelters. Agreements were completed with building owners during 1962 for im- mediate designation and use of twenty -one of these buildings. During 1963 the Federal Government will provide emergency supplies of food, medical, sanitation, supplies of radiological instruments for each of these buildings. Much needs to be done to train sufficient administration and key personnel for these shelter locations and to develop the best plan for their use in the event of an emergency. Personal The approval of the annual Town Meeting for funds for Personal Services has for the first time provided staff personnel to handle the clerical and administrative details necessary to give continuity and substance to the program. In June the Board of Selectmen appointed a Director of Civil Defense and approved the em- PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY 147 ployment of a Secretary- Bookkeeper. This position was filled on September 3, 1962. Staffing of the Civil Defense office five days a week has resulted in increased effectiveness of all segments of the program. During October and the Cuban crisis information was quickly available to the many residents who contacted the Civil Defense office with requests for general and specific information and for printed material. Public Information During this same period over 4500 pieces of informational literature were distributed to individuals and companies. Many individuals contacted the office with requests for sources of emergency food, sand bags, ventilation blowers, loca- tions of shelters, and questions on local plans. Each week brings some call from residents requesting information about shelter needs or family planning. Communication Service The entire Communication program has been reestablished under the direction of the Communication and Radio Officer. Additional people have been recruited and are now being trained. This group holds three regularly scheduled training sessions each month. With the development of the Shelter Program radio com- munications will become of primary importance, as it will be necessary to maintain contact with all the major shelter facilities throughout the town. Any emergency operation is dependent on the effectiveness of its communi- cations, this section will play an increasingly important role in Civil Defense plan- ning as the Shelter Program develops. Fire Service The Fire Service is one of the best prepared Town departments for a Civil Defense emergency. All of the Regular Officers and many of the privates have been trained as radiation monitors. A plan for dispersal of apparatus is ready. A group of enthusiastic and trained Auxiliary 'Firefighters is in existence. This group has reached a new high in enthusiasm as a result of the procurement of a surplus Fire Truck. This fire truck was donated through the Surplus Property program to the town for civil defense use. It replaces Engine 6 which is no longer serviceable. While the truck is an asset to the town, its real value is that it provides a group of interested citizens with the required equipment to be of service to the town. The men of the Auxiliary are trained under the direction of the regular fire department officers. They are presently used to assist the department during spring and fall grass fire season, special burning details, and when long stands are needed at the dump. They also respond to all multiple alarm fires in Lexington and are 148 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY on call at such times as the officer in charge of the Fire Department feels they can be of assistance. School Planning The School Department with the cooperation of the Department of Civil Defense is presently engaged in a program of developing detailed plans for the Department's action in the event of a number of emergency situations. Planning is going on at all levels and within all facilities of the Department. Several of the private schools have also been working with the Department of Civil Defense to develop emergency plans suitable to each schools individual needs. Surplus Property The town has received through the Civil Defense Department over $52,000. of Federal Surplus Property. Large items that have been received are a 1000 gal. per minute Fire Truck, Emergency Generators, Arc welder, and Communications equipment. Other items include canvas, steel, small tools and electrical cable. Summary While the above report represents substantial progress since June, there is much work to be done if Lexington is to have plans ready for an emergency. The long needed warning system is urgently needed. With the information which the Shelter Survey has developed about the availability of a significant shelter capability within Lexington it becomes even more important that a public warning be available, so that people will have time to reach the shelters. The President in his review of 1962. warned that there will be more situations such as Berlin and Cuba during the next decade. 'Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR E.

While the physical development of Lexington continues, it is at a slower pace. This is reflected in the general downward trend in the number of residential build- ing permits issued since 1955. The trend toward a reduced number of actual building starts is not reflected in any reduction in the number of new building lots added through new subdivisions as indicated in the following table: Approved Definitive Subdivision Plans Number 13 11 11 7 12 8 11 9 Yea r 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 Total No. of Lots 167 146 173 80 201 148 169 166 82 1259 It thus appears that the downward trend in building permits does not repre- sent any reduction in future residential building activity but only a greater interval of time between the laying out of new residential areas and their actual construc- tion. A great amount of the Board's time has been allocated to the performance of myriad details of planning, such as conferences with developers, meetings with parties interested in special zoning projects, public hearings, and joint meetings with the Board of Selectmen and other public officials. An important study began in 1961 for a complete revision of the zoning reg- ulations pertaining to limited commercial areas and the rezoning of a large area of land extending from Bedford Street to Wood Street and to a line northeasterly of Bates Road, and from Route 128 to the Bedford town line. This study was completed, regulations passed, and the land rezoned at the 1962 annual town meeting. The rezoning provides ultimately for the commercial and industrial use of a large tract of land, 292 acres of which are zoned for CM 1 use (light industry, research laboratories and office buildings) and 45 acres of which are zoned for 152 PLANNING AND RECREATION CH 1 use (research laboratories, office buildings, and hotels). The town has now zoned a total of 534 acres of land for special commerical cr light industrial pur- poses. The following land was acquired during the year for playground and recrea- tional purposes: 1. A parcel of land having an area of 10.02 acres situated easterly of Robinson Road and abutting town land acquired for playground and rec- reational purposes in 1960. 2. Several parcels of land totalling 8.85 acres, situated northerly of Sum - mer Street, and abutting the town -owned and Whipple Hill area most of which was acquired in 1959 for playground and recreational pur- poses. 3. A parcel of land containing 1.59 acres situated near the peak of Whip- ple Hill. 4. A parcel of about five acres situated westerly of Grove Street and abut- ting land given to the town for recreational purposes, and called the Baskin playground. These two parcels of and will be combined into and developed as a unit. Much of the Board's time has been given to the completion of sections of a long range plan for the physical development of Lexington. It is hoped that this report will be available for distribution not later thatn the 1963 annual town meet- ing. The report covers those subjects to which the Board has given the most time and study over the past few years. Members of the Board express their appreciation to all those who have assisted them during the year. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS S. GRINDLE, Chairman IRVING H. MABEE ROBERT E. MEYER ARTHUR E. BRYSON, JR. JOSEPH A. CAMPBELL Planning Board. REPORT OF RECREATION COMMITTEE December 31, 1962 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 1962. PLANNING AND RECREATION 153 In addition to joint meetings with the Board of Selectmen, the School Com- mittee, the Appropriation Committee and the Planning Board, the Recreation Committee met fourteen times and went on three field trips. As in the past few years, the committee's deliberations were along the following policy lines: (1) future planning; (2) immediate considerations for expansion and improvement of both facilities and program; and (3) conduct of the recreational program under the supervision of the Recreation Director. Primary concern in planning for the distant future were the search and prospective acquisition of land areas in various sections of the town to provide for the space 'Lexington will need for recreational development many years from now. Near future planning is centered around the Worthen Road project, -which is near completion. Planning for the Center Playground area has been expanded to include roughly the area bounded by Waltham and Lincoln Streets and Marrett Road. Immediate developments will feature the addition of a locker room to the present swimming pool area at Center Playground as well as the provision of two diamonds for junior baseball and softball play. The town's baseball facilities will be hard pressed to provide areas for the contemplated expansion of junior league play this comin•i Spring and Summer. Skating facilities and supervision are now at a high point with the addition of flooded areas at both Fiske and Hastings Schools and the improvement of the small area near Willard's Woods. Ice patrolling and the erection of partitions have been very effective in the separation of hockey and free skating. Plans are completed for the addition of a soccer program to the 5th and 6th grade boys' activities to fill the gap between the Summer playground season and the 5th and 6th grade indoor gym classes. A. The following table compares the attendance on Lexington's playgrounds during 1961 and 1962 with the two 5 year periods prior to 1961. Average Attendance Attendance Attendance (1951 -55) (1956 -60) (1961) (1962) 7,694 9,900 13,704 12,595 2,629 3,867 6,021 7,025 16,021 20,354 21,689 18,538 Playgrounds Arts & Crafts Swimming Pool It may be noted that attendance at arts and crafts classes exceeded the previous high of 1961 by more than a thousand. The record high in swimming, 23,094 in 1957, for the playgrounds, 13,704, in 1961. Construction of the section of Worthen Road near the Center Playground was in large part responsible for the decrease in the swimming pool and the Center Playground figures. The attendance figures of 1962 were registered as follows: Sports and games: East (4099) -32 %; Center (2513) -20 %; North (2285) -18 %; Harrington (1857) -18 %; and Hastings (1841) -15 %.

The committee wishes to thank those citizens who have volunteered their services 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. The committee has been most fortunate to have Mr. Adolph Samborski continue to serve as Director of Recreation. His long years of service and his experience as an executive in the collegiate athletic field has made his services to the town most valuable. Respectfully submitted, COLBY E.

During 1962 ten regular meetings were held, two special meetings and also several evenings were spent interviewing applicants for the position of Executive Health Officer. 160 PUBLIC SERVICES Licenses The Board granted licenses and permits as follows: Animal Permits (including poultry) Child Care Centers Funeral Directors Garbage Disposal Methyl Alcohol Milk License —Store Milk License — Vehicle Nursing Homes Oleomargarine Registrations Poultry Slaughter House License Rubbish Disposal Sewage Disposal 47 16 6 5 12 31 22 4 20 11 9 A permit is required for keeping horses, cows, goats, swine and poultry. All residents are urged to comply with the regulation in this regard. Communicable Diseases Chicken Pox Dog Bites Encephalitis, Infectious German Measles Hepatitis, Infectious Measles Meningitis, Streptococcal Mumps Salmonella Scarlet Fever Streptococcal Sore Throat Tuberculosis 147 188 1 14 1 488 1 148 8 16 298 3 As noted there were no cases of Poliomyelitis in 1962 but in order to insure control of this dread disease, and any of the other contagious diseases that can be controlled by immunization, a planned immunization program is recommended for every resident by the Board of Health. Lexington Visiting Nurse Association The Lexington Visiting Nurse Association made 1,548 house visits on behalf of the Health Department. These calls were as follows: Communicable Diseases Tuberculosis Health Supervision: Infants Under 1 year Pre- school children School Children 744 124 133 502 45 PUBLIC SERVICES 161 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 or Fire Department or by calling VO 2 -8282. Premature Infants There were 17 premature infant births reported to the Health Department in 1962. According to State Law, the Health Department must pay for the infant's hospitalization if the family is found to be in need. A total of $70.00 was paid this year for premature infants. Health Bulletin In the Spring of 1962 a Bulletin with Health information for the parent and homeowner was printed and distributed in the Drug Stores and Libraries by the Health Department. Rabies Clinic The annual Rabies Clinic was held in May and of the 2,242 dogs licensed in Lexington for 1962, 911 dogs were brought to the clinic for innoculation. Many dogs are being innoculated privately so the actual number being vaccinated is relatively high. The clinic is free to all residents in Lexington and the Board recommends that dog owners take advantage of the opportunity to aid in the prevention of rabies. Oral Sabin Poliomyelitis Clinic In May and June, 1962, approximately 11,000 children from the ages of three months through Senior High School participated in the Oral Sabin mass immunization program for poliomyelitis conducted by the Health Department. Type I and Type III Oral Sabin vaccine was administered at this time. Type II will be offered early in 1963. The drinking of the Oral Sabin Vaccine will insure a lasting immunity to Poliomyelitis to those who participated in this program without the need of Booster doses. Pre - School Eye Screening Program In cooperation with the Pre - School Parent Teachers Association and the Lexington Lions Club the Lexington Health Department participated in a Pre- school Eye Screening Program for children three and one -half to six years of age. Of the 150 children screened 12 were referred to their private physicians for further treatment. 162 PUBLIC SERVICES 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 the Spring of 1962. All patients were notified of the results of the screening and patients with any abnormalities were advised to consult their private physicians for further treatment. Of the 215 people screened 7 were referred for further treatment. Influenza Clinic Upon recommendation from the State Health Department, the Lexington Health Department conducted an Influenza Clinic for all Town Employees and School Personnel in October and December of 1962. Dental Clinic The Dental Clinic continues to operate successfully under the management of Mrs. Frances Porter, Dental Hygienist. Two part -time dentists are employed, Dr. Thomas Bane and Dr. Irwin Brilliant, who was appointed to replace Dr. A. Peter Manickas in October of 1962. Clinic facilities were used by the Lexington Dental Society to take impressions for mouth protectors, required by law, of all Junior and Senior High School football players. Over 100 impressions were made by local dentists who volunteered their services. The six -month follow -up program adopted last year has proved most successful in detecting defects before they become extensive. Dental Certificates are also a very important part of the follow -up program and, in order to create a stimulus for this phase of Dental Health, buttons have been presented to each pupil who submits a dental certificate during the school year. Banners and letters of commendation from the Board of Health were presented to four classrooms in which every child submitted a certificate. During the school year ending in June, 1962, 48% of all elementary pupils submitted dental certificates. Dental Health education continues to be an important phase of the Dental Hygienist's work. Posters were distributed to all elementary classrooms in observ- ance of National Children Dental Health Week and 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 conducted in all elementary schools. There were 3,810 children examined and 415 defect notices mailed. Those pupils undergoing dental treatment at the time of the screening, were not issued notices. PUBLIC SERVICES 163 The dental health program for the past year included: Classroom talks (Grades 1 -4) 178 School Visits 181 Conferences 29 Oral Prophylaxis 8 Operative Report of the Dental Clinic School Patients Fillings -588 Extractions -33 Treatment Exams Deciduous Perm.

Children in need of corrective posture classes are determined through the use of the silhouetteograph camera, and during September and October appproximately 1,000 pictures were taken of children in grades III, V and VI in the elementary schools. During the school year corrective classes were conducted once each week at the Adams, Franklin, Hancock, Harrington, Munroe and Parker Schools. Two weekly classes were held at the Fiske, Maria Hastings and Estabrook Schools to accommodate larger enrollments or to meet special conditions. Two clinics were held for special orthopedic examination and recommendation. These clinics were conducted by Dr. Gardner F. Fay, orthopedic surgeon of Boston and Concord, under the competent direction of the Lexington Posture Committee which is comprised of volunteer representatives from each school. Special recommendations were made at these clinics to the parents of 27 children for treatment beyond the scope of the posture classes. Excellent cooperation is received from the parents both in attendance at classes and clinics and in following up on recommendations made. 164 PUBLIC SERVICES Receipts Child Care Center Licenses Dental Fees Garbage Disposal Permits Methyl Alcohol Licenses Milk License —Store Milk License— Vehicle Oleomargarine Registrations Oral Polio Vaccine (for teachers) Rubbish Disposal Permits Sewage Disposal Permits Septic Tank and Cesspool Permits State Tuberculosis Subsidy Slaughtering License Expenses $8.00 164.50 4.00 12.00 16.00 10.50 10.00 145.00 22.00 16.00 350.00 397.86 1.00 Burial of Animals $72.00 Dental Clinic 718.31 Engineering 1,379.93 Influenza Clinic 392.61 Laboratory 405.10 Lexington Visiting Nurse Association 2,900.00 Medical Attendance (Including Emergency Service) 321.60 Office Supplies 334.08 Oral Sabin Poliomyelitis Clinic 2,303.73 Posture Clinic 182.20 Premature Infants 70.00 Public Health Education 109.42 Rabies Clinic 886.11 Sundry (meetings, dues, etc.) 233.69 Transportation 800.00 Tuberculosis Hospitalization and Medicine for Home TB patient 324.44 The receipts are not available for use by the Board of Health but revert to the Excess and Deficiency Account. Respectfully submitted, RUFUS L. McQUILLAN, Chairman PUBLIC SERVICES 165 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE HEALTH OFFICER December 31, 1962 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The following is the report of the Executive Health Officer for the year 1962. 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 Middlesex Laboratories of Burlington and the Food Industries Laboratory of Win- throp. Bacteriological analysis of water from private drinking supplies was per- formed. Additional water analysis (chemical and physical) of both drinking and other waters was performed by the Metropolitan District Commission Water Laboratory and the Lawrence Experimental Laboratory of the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Health. Food Sanitation All eating establishments including hoteis, restaurants, and school cafeterias were routinely inspected for maintenance of sanitary standards and for proper methods of storage, preparation, and dispensing of foods. Additional visits were made to obtain swab samples cf multi -use utensils for laboratory analysis. Food markets, bakeries, and catering establishments were inspected for maintenance of sanitary standards and for safe practices of handling and transportation of food products. 125 routine inspections and 50 re- inspections were made in 1962. Two es- tablishments were cited for major violations and corrections were ordered by reg- istered mail. Compliance with regulations were obtained in both cases. Milk Sanitation There were twenty -three licenses issued for 1962 to milk dealers supplying the Town of Lexington. Seventy -one random samples representative of all deal- ers were collected for laboratory analysis. All samples were negative for the pres- ence of phosphatase indicating proper pasteurization. One sample exceeded the legal standard for a colony plate count, and seven samples exceeded the legal standard for the coliform count. Notices of deficiencies and re- sampling of prod- ucts was carried out when standards were above the legal limit. Water Analysis The public water supply was tested weekly by the Metropolitan District Com- mission Water Laboratory. Additional tests of the public supply were made in three 166 PUBLIC SERVICES homes by request of the householders. All tests showed the public water supply free from contamination but one test showed a discoloration index above desirable limits; correction of the discoloration was obtained by water department service work. Four well -water supplies on private property were tested and three were found free from contamination. The owner of the contaminated well was 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. Two pools were found deficient in chlorine residual and corrections were obtained. One natural pond used for bathing purposes was analyzed routinely and bacteriological examinations showed the water well below the limits for safe bathing waters. Lots, Cesspools and Septic Tanks Approximately 400 lot inspections were made to determine grading, soil condi- tions, sub - surface water levels, and suitability for private sewage disposal systems. 71 permits for private sewage disposal systems were issued after each new or re- placement installation had been inspected for approved standards of construction. Sanitation of New Subdivisons There were eight subdivisions submitted to the Board of Health for approval during 1962. Of these, five were approved for complete development and one was approved for partial development. Two subdivisions were disapproved on the basis of reports submitted by the Board's consulting engineer of Whitman and Howard Company, Inc. Child Care Centers 15 Child Care Centers were inspected and licensed for 1962. Inspections were made to determine compliance with regulations covering zoning, fire, safety, and health factors. Complaints and Nuisances 193 complaints of conditions considered detrimental or hazardous during 1962. A breakdown of complaints received is as follows: 41 exposed sewage wastes 51 rubbish and garbage nuisances 19 drainage problems 48 rodent and insect complaints 5 animal and fowl complaints 4 safety hazards 5 noxious weeds and odors 20 general information were received PUBLIC SERVICES 167 All complaints were investigated and evaluated and corrections were obtained by written notices to property owners or occupants. Insect and Rodent Control 31 complaints of rat infestation and 17 complaints of mosquito breeding were received in 1962. Inspections were made to determine conditions providing harborage and food supply and recommendations were made for extermination and control. Mosquito nuisance complaints were referred to the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project for investigation and correction. Animal and Fowl Permits 47 permits to keep domestic animals and fowl were issued in 1962. Initial inspections were made to determine and area and facilities available with consid- eration for neighborhood abuttors. Follow -up inspections were made to determine compliance with sanitation regulations. Convalescent and Nursing Homes 4 private convalescent and nursing homes licensed by the Massachusetts De- partment of Public Health to give nursing or domiciliary care to the aged were inspected by the Health Officer and the Public Health Nurse. All licensed homes were found well maintained and operated. Two deficiencies in lighting and egress requirements were brought to the attention of the licensees. Farm Labor Camps 7 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 farm owner's attention and corrections ordered. Other Activities The Health Officer maintained membership in the following professional organ- izations: 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. 168 PUBLIC SERVICES The assistance and cooperation extended by the members of the Board of Health, Town Officers, Employees, and Lexington Citizens are gratefully ac- knowledged. Respectfully submitted, JAMES F. FINNERAN, Executive Health Officer REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS December 31, 1 962 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Rabies in bats is an increasing problem in Massachusetts. Four cases of bat rabies were reported in 1962 from Harvard, Woburn, Weston and Topsfield. Several other states in the United States have reported this problem for the first time this year. Two humans bitten by rabid bats showed no ill effects. All dead bats should be recovered and sent to the Animal Inspector for Rabies examination. The number of dogs being vaccinated each year at the Rabies Clinic held in May keeps increasing. The number of licensed dogs increases each year and with it the number of dog bites and the calls to check dogs that bite residents of Lexington. This is important for obtaining control of rabies in animals. However, this pre- caution should not be limited to dogs as all mammals are susceptible. The cat, especially, should be included in these vaccinations. It would be wise for all cat owners to follow through in this respect on a private voluntary basis, since a clinic is probably impractical with these sensitive and independent animals. Of the wild animals the skunk and fox are most susceptible with the raccoon low on the list. When Rabies break out from a wild life reservoir the species involved are usually the fox or skunk. It was necessary to send five animal brains to the Wasserman Laboratories this year for rabies examination. The animals concerned had bitten people, and had to be examined as defined in the Rabies Control Law. The following is a break -down of the animal bites reported in 1962. Dog Bites Cat Bites Rabbit Bites Squirrel Bites Rat Bite 1 Field Mouse Bite 1 Rodent Bite 1 Hamster Bite 1 Monkey Bite 1 174 3 2 2 PUBLIC SERVICES 169 There was quite a jump in dog bites reported, from 129 in 1961 to 174 in 1962. Several new species of animal bites were also reported as noted above. Psittacosis, a disease of canaries, parakeets, parrots and other Passerine birds should be mentioned. Control of the spread of this disease to humans can now be controlled by the use of tetracycline compounds either orally or by injection, and this should be done with all new birds or additions to an aviary for four weeks. It is an occupational disease for poultry handlers, pet shop owners, veterinarians, hunters (pheasants), and zoo keepers. The owner of a new bird is always susceptible unless the bird is treated as above before or after purchase. In humans, psittacosis is an upper respiratory disease, difficult to diagnose, but easily treated, if suspected, with tetracycline compounds. I need to stress again that Canine Distemper and Hepatitis vaccinations are NEVER permanent. Revaccination should be accomplished yearly. The usual calls were made to inspect animals according to instructions of the Director of Livestock Disease Control to be sure there were no contagious diseases present, and that the animals were in good health. This inspection also serves as an annual animal census. The animal census is divided as follows: Cows and Bulls 66 Horses and Ponies 51 Sheep 11 Goats 6 Swine 180 All animals and premises were found to be free of contagious diseases. The Inspector of Animals wishes to express his appreciation to the Board of Health, the doctors and the police for their excellent cooperation. Respectfully submitted, DR. CARL R. BENTON, Inspector of Animals REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS December 31, 1962 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 1962. 170 PUBLIC SERVICES 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. Lexington is a town covering a larce area. Much of the Town is not yet sew - ered, 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. Although it is impossible to list all of the various functions and assignments that the Public Works Department must undertake in a given year, a breawdown, which is as complete as possible, is given below. The following table shows comparison of employee personnel as of December 31st over the past five years: Administration Engineering Clerical Park Department Mechanics and Janitors Water Department Public Works Department 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 3 2 2 3 3 6 7 8 9 7 5 5 6 6 6 14 13 15 16 15 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 4 4 26 27 26 28 27 65 65 68 72 68 STREET CONSTRUCTION — WORTHEN ROAD: On January 22, 1962 a con- tract for the construction of Worthen Road from Massachusetts Avenue to Waltham Street was awarded to the B. J. Pentabone Company of Newton, at a price, based on the engineer's estimate of quantities, of $267,330.50. This contract, in addi- tion to the basic roadway, called for channelization at the two ends of the road, the relocation of a part of Lincoln Street, the relocation of both ends of the cinder track, the covering up of a section of the North Branch of Vine Brook, the installa- tion of underground connected mercury-vapor lights, the planting of trees and shrubs, the construction of a small parking lot for the swimming pool, etc. Prev- iously two houses on Lincoln Street, which had been acquired by the Town, were razed. As of this writing, the contract is completed, except for loaming some areas and seeding all areas. STREET CONSTRUCTION — SUNDRY STREETS: During 1962 the Carter Construction Company completed the contract awarded to them on July 27, 1961. This contract called for the construction of streets, sidewalks and the Meriam Street parking lot. The work remaining to be done on January 1, 1962 was to finish short sections of Diana Lane, Emerson Road and the construction of sidewalks on Lowell Street, which involved a section of the street to be relocated. PUBLIC SERVICES 171 This work, which is now completed, is broken down as follows: Street Diana Lane Emerson Road Lowell Street Length 350' 350' 1850' Drainage 35' -12" 31' — 12" 687' — 12" On July 9, 1962 a contract was awarded to the Gil -Bern Construction Corpora- tion of Sharon for the construction of streets at a price, based on the engineer's estimate of quantities, of $109,700.75. This contract has been completed except for minor cleanup. The contract is broken down as follows: Street Length Drainage Buckman Drive 250' 200' — 12" Burlington Street 2040' 120' — 12" Justin Street 665' 44' — 12" Lexington Avenue 959' 1352' — 12" Rindge Avenue 1040' 439' — 12" Tarbell Avenue 736' 356' — 12" Winn Avenue 150' 35' — 12" Winthrop Road 1182' 212' — 12" 7022 Feet CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION: On August 14, 1962 a contract was awarded to N. Pendelena & Son, Inc. for the construction of Concord Avenue from Blossom Street to Waltham Street. In spite of the fact that this contract was late getting out, the work has been completed, except for foaming and seeding. Concord Avenue has now been reconstructed and widened from the Belmont line to near Route 2. The first section widened was done in 1958, so it has taken 5 years to complete 2.2 miles of highway with Chapter 90 funds. Street Length Drainage Concord Avenue 2286' 711' — 12" CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE: On August 15, 1962 a contract was awarded to the Warren Brothers Roads Company in the amount, based on the engineer's estimate of quantities, of $37,230. Part of the work in the contract included the resurfacing of the section of Bedford Street from Revere Street to the Boston & Maine Railroad tracks, and a section of Massachusetts Avenue between Pelham Road and Percy Road. The work is broken down as follows: Street Length Bedford Street 2042' Massachusetts Avenue 433' 172 PUBLIC SERVICES CU'RBIN'G: As in past years, the amount of $5,000. was appropriated for the installation of granite curbing The policy of the Board has been to install granite curbing in business zones which are being built up. This has the effect of increas- ing traffic safety by controlling egress and access to new stores, business, etc. Street Length Crosby Road 308' North Hancock Street 36' Station Way 72' Waltham Street (near Forest Street) 248' Waltham Street (near Marrett Road) 86' Waltham Street and Concord Avenue 288' 1038 Feet ASHES AND DUMPS: During the past year we have had visitors from several communities at the Lincoln Street dump to view its operation as a modified san- itary land fill. As the site has been operated more and more as a sanitary land fill, cover material from contracts for constructing streets, and water and sewer mains, has again kept operating costs down. A specification in all such contracts requires any excess material be deposited at the dump. Use of these surpluses has cut down the purchase of fill. Monthly service calls were made by the contract exterminator. More frequent calls were made when required. The road to the Hartwell Avenue site has been built. However, more prepara- tion is required before utilizing this area as a sanitary land fill. It appears that by late 1963 or early 1964 the Lincoln Street dump will be closed and operations transferred to the new site. GARBAGE COLLECTION — The present garbage collection contract is for two years at $38,000. per year. We have experienced a great deal of trouble with collection during the past year. There are many facets to the garbage collection problem: 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. The answer may be municipal collection of garbage or combined collection of garbage and rubbish. These are alternatives which we are now studying. PUBLIC SERVICES 173 SNOW REMOVAL — There are two basic costs of snow removal. First, there are the costs which can be directly attributed to each storm such as snow plowing, sidewalk plowing, removal of snow from business areas, churches, schools, etc., and the salting and sanding that is done directly before, during and after the storm. All these costs are lumped together and referred to as the cost of a particular storm. Secondly, there are the many other costs which occur during the year such as sanding and salting in ice storms, quick- freezes, which require sanding, our weather service which is invaluable, the purchase of equipment such as chains, plows, plow blades, bolts, etc. Many of these latter expenditures occur during the Summer months. We prepare for the Winter many months before it arrives. The accompanying tables indicate the days and the amounts that snow was recorded and the cost breakdown for each storm.

In 1961 this improvement was carried down to the Junior High School near Rowland Avenue, and in 1962 to Marrett Road. We plan to continue requesting these funds until the lighting is carried forward to the Arlington line. When Worthen Road was built, it was deemed necessary to install high type mercury-vapor lights. Eighteen 800 lumen lights, 1 — 10,000 lumen light and 7 — 15,000 lumen lights were removed during the year. Seventy -five 1,000 lumen, 16 — 2,500 lumen, 4 — 11,000 lumen M. V. lights, 10 — 20,000 lumen M. V. lights were installed so currently lamps in service are as follows: 800 Lumens 1139 1,000 786 2,500 " 116 4,000 31 6,000 37 10,000 5 11,000 MV 34 20,000 MV 44 STREET SIGNS: In 1962 the department increased its program of making more of our own signs. Two things were accomplished. First, is the fact we no longer have to wait weeks for a sign company or the Mass. Correctional Institution to make and deliver signs. Second, it is less expensive to make our own. This year approximately 100 signs were replaced or newly installed. TRAFFIC REGULATION AND CONTROL: The main item in this budget is the painting of street lines, crosswalks and other traffic control markings on the pavement. During the year these street lines and crosswalks were painted twice. The approximate linear footage painted is indicated below. Center Lines 62,900 Ft. Parking Tees 154 Crosswalks 4,123 Ft. Curbing 1,475 Ft. Do Not Enter 4 Stop Signs and Lines 20 Bus Stops 8 Boys 26 Slow Signs 13 Do Not Park 4 Police Traffic Circles 3 In 1962 the department also incurred the responsibility for maintenance of the traffic signal lights on Massachusetts Avenue at Waltham Street, Locust PUBLIC SERVICES 177 Avenue and near the Adams School, and Bedford Street at Worthen Road. All other traffic signal lights in Lexington ccme under the State Department of Public Works. The department also made many temporary traffic control signs for use while construction was being performed. Such signs as "Road Closed ", "Road Under Construction ", "Detour ", etc. were included in this list. ROAD MACHINERY: During the year the following pieces of equipment were purchased and received by the department: 1.) One -half Ton Pick -Up Truck For use by General Foreman 2.) Carryall Truck For use by Engineering Department — replacement vehicle 3.) Front -End Loader with Backhoe This combination unit sees service year round. It is used for installing sewer and water services, digging and back - filling trenches and on snow removal, etc. — replacement unit. 4.) Shovel -Dozer This unit is used mainly at the dump. However, it is also used on snow work and other miscellaneous jobs when required. It is track mounted and has a "four -in -one" bucket attachment which in- creases its versatility — replacement unit. 5.) Four-door Sedan For use by Supt. of Pubiic Works — replacement vehicle. 6.) Two -door Sedan This vehicle was purchased from the Police Department for use by the Asst. Supt. of Public Works — additional vehicle. 7.) Sewer Bucket Cleaning Machine This unit cleans drain and sewer lines of sand, silt, etc. using a drag bucket process — additional unit. SIDEWALKS: Three contracts for the construction of bituminous concrete were awarded by the Board of Selectmen in 1962. 1.) On May 4, 1962 a contract was awarded to the Malden Paving Com- pany for the construction of sidewalks on Massachusetts Avenue and Crosby Road. The amount, based on the Town Engineer's estimate of quantities, was $3,235.00. The work is broken down as folows: Massachusetts Avenue 1436' Crosby — Massachusetts Avenue to Maria Hastings School 328' This project was handled in its entirety by the office of the Town Engineer The work has been completed. 2.) On August 30, 1962 another contract was awarded to the Malden Paving Company for the construction of a sidewalk on Marrett Road. Marrett Road 1425' 178 PUBLIC SERVICES Again this project was handled entirely by the Town Engineering Department. This work was completed. 3.) On October 15, 1962 a contract was awarded to Belli Brothers, Inc. of Newton. This was for the construction of the sidewalk on Grove Street from Eldred Street to Gould Road. This project was relatively expensive since it involved the relocation of the pavement on two sections of Grove Street which were infringing on private property. In spite of the late date on which the work started, it has been completed except for some loaming and seeding. Grove Street 2270' 4.) As previously reported under street construction, sidewalks were built on Lowell Street under a 1961 contract with Carter & DeAneglo which was completed in 1962. Lowell Street 2870' The summary of sidewalk work in 1962, including individual requests, is as follows: Location Length *Audubon Road 63' *Cedar Street 143' Crosby Road 328' Grove Street 2270' Marrett Road 1425' Massachusetts Avenue 1436' *Massachusetts Avenue 202' *Rindge Avenue 70' *Taft Avenue 40' 5977 Feet * Individual request HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE: In 1962 the department maintained 93.74 miles of public ways. This represents an increase of 1.41 miles over 1961. Highway maintenance is one of the major functions of the Public Works De- partment. Some of the various types of work necessary for proper maintenance of our ever increasing street system are listed below. 1.) Street Cleaning. Our two mechanical street sweepers were in operation every day, except for inclement weather or when the roads were icy or snow cov- ered. Their busiest season, of course, was in the Spring, when sand used for icy conditions during the Winter had to be removed. Hand sweeping and cleaning was also done in the Center, on main streets and the municipal parking lots. 2.) Pavement Maintenance. Our regular program of patching was continued. This type of maintenance is especially essential in late Winter and early Spring PUBLIC SERVICES 179 when the freeze and thaw cycles cause holes to appear without warning. During the Summer months, more permanent maintenance work was done, such as seal coating, machine resurfacing with bituminous concrete, etc. The following is a breakdown of the streets which the department sealed using asphalt and stone in 1962 with Town Forces. Location Abbott Road Ash Street Berwick Road Bloomfield Street Braemore Terrace Centre Street Edgewood Road Hamilton Road Hillside Terrace Ledgelawn Avenue Liberty Avenue North Street Robinson Road Upland Road Ward Street 180 PUBLIC SERVICES 4.) Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance. Sidewalks, both bituminous and concrete, were repaired during the year. A contract in the amount of $1,677.00 was award- ed to the Metropolitan Construction Company for the reconstruction of certain con- crete sidewalks in the Center. This work has been completed. 5.) Miscellaneous Maintenance. Throughout the year a great deal of time was Length spent on miscellaneous drain construction, roadside mowing, guard rail and fence repair, maintenance of gravel roads, parking lot maintenance, etc. 444' 400' 600' 1297' 300' 333' 882' 520' 375' 2875' 2050' 5430' 1900' 315' 1027' 18,748 Feet In addition to the sealing of streets by Town Forces, a contract was awarded to Warren Brothers Roads Company for bituminous concrete resurfacing. This con- tract, handled entirely by the Town Engineer's Office, was in the amount of $37,230. The entire list of streets, with the exception of Chapter 90 streets, follows: Location Type Length Adams Street Bit. Conc. 504' Carville Avenue St. Mix 842' Cedar Street Cit.

Conc. 2180' 12,231 Feet 3.) Drain and Brook Cleaning. During the year all of our 2692 catch basins were cleaned at least once. Several drain systems were flushed and /or cleaned -with our bucket machine. During the Winter months approximately 4,000 feet of brooks were cleaned with our backhoe. DRAIN CONSTRUCTION: (Town) In 1962 the following drain construction was performed by Town labor and equipment. Location Length Size Concord Avenue 966' 12" R.C. 32' 15" R.C.

Two sections of large drainage pipe were installed in the North Branch of Vine Brook in 1962. The first section was 42" pipe which was included in the Worthen Road project. This work closed in the brook from Clarke Street to the Lincoln Street dump and involved about 1537 feet of pipe. The second section was composed of 42" and 30" pipe from the dump towards Middleby Road, a total length of 1032 feet. This work was included in the con- tract for sewer, water and drains awarded to Gil -Bern Construction Company on August 20, 1962. The drain was approximately 50% completed as of December 31, 1962. The North Branch of Vine Brook has new been enclosed from Waltham Street to Middleby Road in continuous projects since 1959. Street Construction (At no Cost to the Town) Subdivision control laws require that developers construct such streets as will adequately serve each lot in their subdivision. Eventually these streets are accepted by the Town and become public ways at no cost to the Town.

These have been completed. Location Size Length Hydrants Marrett Road 12" 730' 1 Hartwell Avenue 12" 1437' 2 Total 2167 Feet 3 The Hartwell Avenue project will provide water service to the Cabot, Cabot & Forbes development in the M -1 Area and will also serve our new sanitary land fill area, which will be developed in the future as an industrial area. The Marrett Road water main will strengthen our system and will supply a new industrial area on the "Rinaldo" land west of Route 128 and Marrett Road. On December 7, 1961 a contract Corporation for the construction of a 24' tham Street and Concord Avenue to the contrat was $330,825.00. The contract Location Waltham Street Bridge Street Marrett Road Prospect Hill Road Middleby Road Lincoln Street Jean Road Massachusetts Avenue Total was signed with Wes - Julian Construction ' water main from the intersection of Wal- Lexington Standpipe.

This is the transmission or supply main which, it is hoped, will solve Lexington's water problems for many years. The U. S. Government is sharing in the cost of this main and the M.D.C. 36" line to which it is connected. In conjunction with the reconstruction and widening of Route 128, it was deemed advisable to relocate Massachusetts Avenue, so that it now runs from Route 128 to Marrett Road, near the Lexington Inn. 184 PUBLIC SERVICES In order to complete a badly needed loop in our system and to serve the Cabot, Cabot & Forbes development on Marrett Road west of Route 128, a 12" water main was installed in relocated Massachusetts Avenue. This work was done at the Town's expense by the Berke -Moore Company, who were the contractors on Route 128. It was also necessary to relocate a substantial portion of water ma Road at the Route 128 bridge.

In 1961 we had a very cold period before snow was on the ground and as a result a large amount of homes suffered from loss of water due to frozen services. This cost the Town $9,852.72 to thaw out services. In December of 1961 we had a large snow fall which insu!ated the ground. Again in February 35.9 inches of snow fell giving more insulation. As a result the Town only had to spend $404.50 for thawing frozen services. METERS: During the year a total of 215 new meters were installed in new houses. Additional work included removing, repairino and testing 296 meters and replacing them. SERVICE CALLS: Four hundred ninety -three sewer and water estimates were given and 413 of these were paid to be installed. 1496 service calls were made to houses and 706 contractors calls.

This includes running the standby engine - generator 6" under full load weekly. This station handles almost the entire North Lexington area. 6" Our three smaller stations at Byron Avenue, Patterson Road and Constitution 'Road 6" were also checked daily. Two new motors were installed on the pumps at the 6" Byron Avenue station during 1962. 6" 12" Stoppages: In 1962 the department made 109 emergency calls covering such 16" items as freeing plugged sewer mains and sewer services, repairing broken mains, 6" etc. 8" Routine Cleaning of Mains: The department purchased a sewer bucket clean - 6" ing machine in June of 1962. This machine cleans silt, gravel, sand and other 12" debris by pullling a bucket through the line to be cleaned. Approximately 4528 8" feet of sewer line in various parts of the Town were cleaned in this manner. 10" 6" Sewer Construction 12" 6" Work was completed in 1962 on the 1961 project of B. & R.

Sewer Construction (Subdivisions — No Cost to Town) The Subdivision Control Law requires that developers install such sewer mains as will adequately serve each lot in the subdivision. When the subdivision is com- pleted, these mains become the property of the Town and are added to our system. 188 PUBLIC SERVICES Location Angier Road 8" 685' Bond Road 8" 264' Bower Road 10" 863' Diamond Road 8" 1527' Juniper Place 8" 323' John Poulter Road 8" 323' Todd Road 8" 220' Viles Road 8" 102' White Terrace 8" 375' Size Length Total 4786 Feet Trunk Sewer Construction The contract awarded to C.

This sewer will start at Pleasant Street near Route 2 and will run in a general northwesterly and west- erly direction along Clematis Brook to Waltham Street, through Brookside Avenue to Waltham Street, then through Grassland, Valleyfield Streets and private lands to Cutler Farm Road. Work has not started on this project. It was first held up pending the approval by the Planning Board of the Carrig subdivision off Pleasant Street. The trunk sewer will run through the section of Worthen Road located in this subdivision. Later it was found that there was a possibility that this project might be elig- ible for Federal Aid. After some discussions between Town and State officials (who must first approve the project), it was decided by the Board of Selectmen to make application. This application has been filed asking for $178,000. in Fed- eral Aid. Plans and specifications are complete. It is hoped that this work will now get underway in the spring of 1963 and be completed in about one year. PUBLIC SERVICES 189 General Appropriations MOSQUITO CONTROL: The mosquito control program differed a little from that of recent years in that DDT was not used in most of the swamps in the south- east part of the Town. Fogging by helicopter was tried for the first time in the Grove Street - Winter Street area. Pre - season dusting was the main prevention for the spring brood of larvae. When migration occurred from outside sources in late May and June the Project fogged by truck at night and sprayed by helicopter several wooded tracts in the north and west parts of the Town. A little later helicopter fogging was also employed against the migratory infestation. The summer Culex mosquito inspection and spray program was routine, the worst places being north of the dump and in Vine Brook below the Hayes Lane culvert. Ditches were cleaned and drainage extended in Great Swamp, south of Valleyfield Road and north and south of Ridge Road. TOWN OFFICES AND CARY MEMORIAL BUILDING: In addition to the gen- eral repairs and painting of all three properties, the following work was done. In the Cary Memorial Building the job of replacing defective steam traps was com- pleted. The boiler room was painted for the first time in many years. PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING: In 1962 part of a new lighting system was in- stalled in the building. Also installed was an electrically operated garage door which opens into the main building. Both these installations have increased the efficiency of operations, particularly during snow storms, as well as permitting better utilization of available floor space. This work was done in addition to the normal repair and maintenance of the building. Special Projects PARKING METERS: In 1962 the Board of Selectmen acting under the author- ity given them in the 1960 Annual Town Meeting voted to install parking meters in the two municipal lots in Lexington center. The work was carried under the direction of this department. Concrete bumper blocks and concrete islands were first installed to protect the meters. The Magee Hale Park -O -meter Company in- stalled the meters under a contract dated September 28, 1962. 226 meters were installed and are now in operation. BLEACHERS: A contract for the installation of bleachers in the enclosed field at Center Playground was signed with the Hussey Mfg. Company, Inc. on June 22, 1962 in the amount of $15,995. Prior to this work, the Park Department pre - pared the site and these bleachers were installed and in operation prior to the first football game of the 1962 season. The money — $16,220. — for this project was requested by the Recreation Committee under Article 51 of the Annual Town Meeting. NEW FIELD AT CENTER PLAYGROUND: Under Article 52 of the Annual Town Meeting was a request of the Recreation Committee to appropriate $42,000. for the developing of a large area in the Center Playground between Worthen Road, 190 PUBLIC SERVICES Park Drive and the enclosed field. This land was recently acquired from the Hayden Center. The work was carried on by, and under the direction of this department. The part of the area which was solid ground was graded, foamed and seeded with Park Department labor and equipment. This area should be ready for use some- time late in 1963 or early in 1964. The major portion of the area was swampy and the soil was mostly peat. A consultant engineer was hired to study the problem and to report on the most economical method of developing this land. His report recommended that the area be filled to various depths, varying with the peat depth. The report stated that settlement would take place over a period of years which will bring the final grade to approximately 2 feet above existing gorund. On September 12, 1962 a contract was signed with the Paino -'LaCava Com- pany, Inc. for the placing of this fill. The work has been completed. It is ex- pected that it will be 2 or 3 years before this area will be useable due to the con- stant settlement. SANITARY LAND FILL ACCESS ROAD: On August 1, 1962 a contract was awarded to Gil -Bern Construction Corp. in the amount of $27,790. for the con- struction of an access road to the new sanitary land fill area off Hartwell Avenue. This work, including the installation of twin 72" x 44" arch culverts, has been completed. The water main which will be needed in this area has not yet been in- stalled. In addition, certain drainage work remains to be done before this site is useable. The Town has petitioned the Division of Waterways of the Mass. Department of Public Works to lower the Kiln Brook to reduce the water table of this whole area. No action has yet been taken on the request. Other projects undertaken for other departments in 1962 included such items as: grading and hauling material at Westview Cemetery, which will be continued in 1963; using our sewer rodding machine to assist the Fire Department in laying underground cable; setting up voting machines; hauling purchases by the Civil Defense Department; resurfacing parking lots and drives at both fire stations, etc. 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. In conclusion, I wish to acknowledge with thanks the assistance and co- opera- tion given to the Public Works Department by officials of the Town and members of the various Town departments. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CARROLL, Supt of Public Works PUBLIC SERVICES 191 REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEER December 31, 1962 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith the report of the Engineering Department for the year end- ing December 31, 1962. The Engineering Department continues to increase the number of contracts under its direction. This year the number was increased to seven for which the preliminary engineering and estimating was done, the contract drawn up and awarded, the construction supervised, and payment estimates made. These seven contracts were as follows: Massachusetts Avenue and Crosby Road sidewalks, Malden Paving & Contracting Co., Inc.; Marrett Road, Malden Paving & Contract- ing Co., Inc.; street resurfacing, Warren Brothers Roads Co.; Lexington Centre sidewalk reconstruction, Metropolitan Construction Co.; construction of access road to sanitary landfill area, Gil -Bern Construction Co.; land filling at the Centre Plyground, Paino- LaCava Co., Inc.; and the addition of new bleachers at the Centre Playground, Hussey Manufacturing Co., Inc. In addition to these the de- partment supervised and inspected the installation of parking meters in the two Centre parking lots done under separate contract. Field work this year included, the preliminary field work for all sewer, water, and drain construction carried on both by Town forces and by private contract. As in other years, the department made numercus studies to solve various sewer, water, drainage, and traffic control problems. We also find that we are devoting more time each year to the installation of sewer and water services and as before a great deal of time is spent in the inspection of utility and street construction in private subdivisions. Comprising the office work this year were the updating of all Town maps, the drafting of all sewer, water, and drain construction plans, and the calculation and drafting of plans for all sewer, water, sidewalk, and street construction completed under betterments. New duties for the department this year include the billing of all betterment improvements for the year and the updating of the newly acquired Assessors' maps. This year there were 289 new lots and it is anticipated that the additions and corrections to these Assessors' maps will each year consume a large part of our office time. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CARROLL Town Engineer. 192 PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT December 31, 1962 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: As in past years we are combining the reports of the Shade Tree, Insect Sup - presion and Park Divisions into two sections. Section One will cover the activities 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 lawn mowers and one hydraulic fertilizer spreader. CENTER PLAYGROUND: In addition to the regular maintenance work at Center Playground, the following work was carried on: One -half of the football field in the enclosed area was foamed and seeded. Prior to the erection of the bleachers in the enclosed field, an area was prepared with gravel and cinders as a base for stands. Repairs were made on the Little League and the baseball stands. The usual repair work was made to the cinder track. Benches were built for girls' hockey and softball. In the past years the clay tennis courts have been taken care of by an employee of the Recreation Department. In 1962 this work was taken over by the Park De- partment. The same situation applies to the care and operation of the swimming pool. This responsibility will, from now on, be assumed by the Park Department as it was in 1962. One employee was assigned to the pool during most of each day through the Summer. Under Article 52 of the Annual Town Meeting was a request of the Recreation Committee to appropriate $42,000. for the developing of a large area in the Center Playground between Worthen Road, Park Drive and the enclosed field. This land was recently acquired from the Hayden Center. The part of the area which was solid ground was graded, loamed and seeded with Park Department labor and equip- ment. This area should be ready for use sometime late in 1963 or early in 1964. PARKS: Additional and replacement trees and shrubs were planted in most of the park areas. All park areas were limed and fertilized as usual. In addition, the Common and Buckman Tavern grounds were treated for Japanese beetle grubs. Our weed control spraying was carried out in many of the parks. A section of the Common which was damaged due to snow mold had to be reseeded. This involved stripping the sod and top dressing work requiring considerable time and patience. The Kinneen Pond area was completely regraded, reloamed and seeded. This involved changing an area which once sloped in one direction and made it difficult to flood during the Winter into an area which is now relatively flat and is easy to PUBLIC SERVICES 193 194 PUBLIC SERVICES flood and maintain for hockey and ice skating during the Winter. This project was done in conjunction with the Public Works Department. On other parks and trian,les and certain ballfield areas at the Diamond Junior High, Fiske, Franklin, Hastings, Harrington Schools received regular maintenance including fertilizing. TOWN OFFICE BUILDING GROUNDS: The grounds around the Town Office Building and the School Administration Building were maintained by the Park De- partment. They were continually mowed during the Summer season. Flowers were planted and at various times the shrubs were trimmed. A section of the lawn in front of the Police Station was loamed and seeded. WINTER WORK: We now maintain skating areas at the Center Playground, at the Reservoir on Marrett Road, Kinneen's Pond, Adams School, Fiske School, Muzzey Junior High and at the rear of the High School. All these areas were flooded as needed. After the emergency snow removal, subsequent to snow storms, these areas were plowed to the extent that time allowed. Areas at Bowman Park, Parker School, Adams School, the Reservoir, along Park Drive and certain sections of Willard's Woods were pruned of dead wood and gen- erally cleared of brush. Section Two NEW EQUIPMENT: No new heavy equipment was purchased by the Shade Tree Department during the past year. We did, however, purchase some saws, etc. PLANTING SHADE TREES: Each year we are planting more public shade trees. During the Spring and the Summer, 314 trees of all varieties were planted in new developments and other streets throughout the Town. In some cases these trees were new; in others they were replacement trees. It is our policy to replace trees that have been removed by disease, construction, etc. as soon as possible. For example, this year we planted trees in Concord Avenue to replace the ones re- moved by the Chapter 90 Construction done in 1961. Most of these trees are being planted on private property. This gives them a better opportunity to survive be- cause they do not have to compete with telephone or Edison wires. There is a great deal of construction work being carried on in the Town from year to year. It is our policy to require the contractors to save as many trees as possible and to make them dig by hand in many cases in order to save a tree. After a few years o trying, our request to put trees in 'Lexington Center was finally approved. These trees have finally been planted and we have re- ceived many favorable comments on them. They are all Little Leaf Lindens. They will not grow to a large height and can be easily trimmed and tailored to produce a beautiful shade tree in the Center. It is our intention to expand this planting in the future. 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 at any one time and helps reduce the over -all cost of new trees. SPRAYING: Our dormant and Summer spraying was done with our own crew. Our hydraulic sprayer was used in hard to reach places where the spray had to be directed. The mist blower was used where range and height was the most important consideration such as parks, playgrounds, cemeteries and swamp areas. An additional spraying of oak trees was required this year due to the Oak Leaf Miner. In addition to tree spraying, we also spray the dump by hand at regular intervals to prevent the breeding of insects such as cockroach, flies, etc. We also answered many requests to spray poison ivy on public and priv- ate property during the year. REMOVING AND PRUNING TREES: During the past year we pruned ap- proximately 215 trees of different varieties excluding elms. Street construc- tion was responsible for the removal of about 75 trees. Most of these were removed by private contractors. During the year we cut below grade with our stump cutter approximately 17 stumps. This machine has proved to be an in- valuable tool in the removal of these unsightly objects. DUTCH ELM DISEASE: A great deal of time was spent trying to control the Dutch Elm Diease which is beginning to show 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 78 elm trees. This is one of the best ways of controlling the disease because the Dutch Elm Disease Bark Bettle enters through dead wood. The Shade Tree Department also removed 86 dead elm trees on private property because they are a source of spreading the disease. These are trees that could not be tested because live wood has to be present in order to get a positive test. Th following is a comparison of Dutch Elm diseased trees found in Lex- ington since 1958: 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 106 105 85 45 27 The trees tested this year included 16 privately owned trees and 11 public trees which have been removed by the Shade Tree Department. In conclusion, I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Supt. of Public Works and the many ether departments that have helped us during the past year. Respectfully submitted, PAUL E. MAZERALL, Superintendent of Park & Shade Tree Department PUBLIC SERVICES 195 REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS December 31, 1962 To the Citizens of Lexington: The Cemetery Commissioners submit their Annual Report for the year 1962. The regular maintenance work has been done on the grounds, driveways, trees and shrubs of the four cemeteries. There were twenty -five interments in Munroe Cemetery and one lot was placed under Perpetual Care. Fifteen graves were raised and reseeded. At Colonial Cemetery ten monuments were repaired and reset. Twelve monu- ments were reset due to vandals pushing over the stones. Several sunken graves were raised and reseeded. Several headstones in the Robbins Cemetery were reset. At Westview Cemetery there were one hundred twenty -four interments, seventy - four lots, thirteen single graves and seven baby graves sold. The iron fence and the gate at the entrance to the cemetery was scraped and painted. The garage doors, office door and the equipment room door were painted. The flag pole received a coat of paint also. Thirty graves were raised, foamed and reseeded. Many of the maple trees along the street on the Catholic side of the cemetery were trimmed as well as the trees along the Bedford line. The power saws were in operation for several days cutting up the fallen trees left since last fall when the hill at the back of the cemetery was levelled off. Work was continued in the redeveloping of the unused section of Westview as expansion for new lots is now necessary. Tree stumps were removed and the ground levelled off after the surveyors installed the grading stakes. A new road was laid out in the rear of the cemetery by the surveyors. The following funds were collected and committed to the Town Treasurer: Westview Cemetery Sale of lots $6,774.70 Sale of single graves 360.00 Sale of baby graves 126.00 Perpetual Care 8,356.00 Interments 3,557.00 Green & Lowering Device 630.00 Foundations 728.00 Tent 300.00 Miscellaneous receipts 173.00 $21,004.70 Munroe Cemetery Perpetual Care $100.00 Annual Care 50.25 Interments 567.00 Green & Lowering Device 108.00 Foundations 130.00 Miscellaneous receipts 29.50 $984.75 196 PUBLIC SERVICES The Cemetery Commssioners take this opportunity to acknowledge with thanks the assistance and cooperation given to the department by officials of the Town, members of the various departments and the personnel of the Cemetery Department. Respectfully submitted, CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS GAIL W. SMITH, Chairman REPORT OF THE REGISTRAR OF VETERANS' GRAVES December 31, 1962. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Submitted herewith is the annual report of the Registrar of Veterans' graves for the year 1962. There were twenty -three (23) interments of Veterans in Lexington Cemeteries during the year 1962. 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. Repairs to several headstones were made in Colonial Cemetery and in Munroe 'Cemetery five graves that had sunken were raised. Respectfully submitted, MAURICE D. HEALY, Registrar CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES December 31, 1962 197 To the Citizens of Lexington: The Trustees regret the retirement in 1962 of Mrs. Ruth Morey, Mr. Gardner C. Ferguson, Mr. Donald T. Clark, Mr. Gordon E. Steele and Elder Myron Fisher. We welcome as new Trustees Messrs. Otis S. Brown, Jr., Levi G. Burnell, Merrill F. Norlin, Vernon C. Page, Alfred E. Viano and Elder Eugene P. Carter. The Trustees were saddened by the death of one active and two former Trustees: Mr. Ronald S. Woodberry, Jr., Lexington School Committee member; Mr. William C. Paxton, former Selectman; and Dr. Fred L. Piper, former member of the Lexington School Committee and a devoted friend of the Library until his death. We appreciate the cooperation of the Lexington Historical Society, the Cohasset Historical Society, the Peabody Museum of Salem, the New Bedford Library, the Boston Public Library and private collectors in Lexington and other communities for their generosity in lending historic articles for the program of exhibits in the Lex- ington Room. These exhibits have been interesting to residents and to tourists from many parts of the country. Members of the Morning Study Group of the Lexington Field and Garden Club made the Christmas wreaths and other decorations that gave such a festive air to the main floor during the holiday season. Staff members decorated the Children's Library. We add our compliments and appreciation to those of countless patrons. Wide approval of the new services initiated by the Director is indicated by the interest shown in the monthly art exhibits and the increasing use of colored slides and the picture rental privilege. Many residents have also expressed appreciation at the increased hours the library is open to the public. Lexingtonians use their library. All areas of Cary Library, including the Chil- dren's Library and the East Lexington Branch, are used daily, some at full capacity during certain periods of the day. No library in Massachusetts serving a population under 44,000 has a circulation greater than ours. Again we have had difficulty in filling vacancies with library school graduates, with or without experience. A general shortage of trained librarians, a no- better- than- average salary schedule, and a shortage of desirable housing in the low price range seem to be the major reasons. The Trustees reluctantly decided against revising the salary schedule for 1963 because of the need for town -wide economy. There is no doubt that salaries must be increased in 1964 if we are to employ trained librarians. Either the budget must be substantially increased or the staff reduced in size, with a consequent curtailment of services. The Board of Trustees is grateful for the help of its Advisory Committee and for the cooperation of the Appropriation Committee, the Police Department and the Department of Public Works. We congratulate Director Karl Nyren on making the Library a center of greater service to the community, and we express our appreciation to him and his able and loyal staff whose help have made the expanded services possible. i 98 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY We are grateful to Mr. Nyren, also, fcr serving as Secretary and Treasurer of the Board of Trustees.

The circulation of books, records, magazines, pamphlets, slides, prints and films totaled 489,493, a gain of 43,927. This included a gain of 28,277 in the Chil- dren's Library and a gain of 4,265 at the East Lexington Branch Library. The full -time staff underwent the following changes: Resignations: Mr. Peter Simoglou, Librarian I; Mrs. Margaret Riley, Librarian I; Mrs. Christie Vernon, Librarian I; Mrs. Brenda Pelofsky, Librarian II; and Mr. Roland Perkins, Librarian II. New appointments: Miss Suzanne Nicot, Librarian I; Mrs. Grace Erdman, Librarian 11; Miss Nadine lovino, Trainee; Mrs. Hazel Thurber, Librarian III; and Mr. Frank Langone, Custodian. Vacancies: Supervisor of Work with Children. The recataloging project, under the able direction of Cataloger Ann Ferry, has progressed since its inception in April of 1962, so that the total number of new and recataloged books to be found in the Dewey catalog is about 13,481. Additional personnel will be needed in 1963 for cataloging and recataloging operations. A new schedule, which makes the Library, Branch and Children's Library open to the public for a total of 351/2 additional hours per week, has been well received. Exhibits in the Piper Gallery and in the Lexington Room have been popular and well attended. The rental of original, mounted prints and colored slides have been new serv- ices well patronized by the public. The Diorama of the Battle of Lexington, which has been on exhibit in the Library, has attracted numerous visitors, and will be featured in a nationwide April 19 television broadcast by NBC. The Lexington Chamber of Commerce has recently appointed' a committee to raise the money to purchase the diorama for the Town. A film on town libraries was made by Wing Productions in December, using the Cary Library building, facilities and staff to produce a film demonstrating good library service. The film is expected to be released early in 1963. The need for planning for the future became more apparent in 1962, with circulation reaching the predicted 1975 levels thirteen years early. Inadequate seating area, particularly for adults engaged in use of business reference materials, lack of space for adult education, art exhibits, film showings, and other cultural activities properly found in a good library, make it imperative that preliminary planning be started on the library that will shortly be necessary to an enlarged population. As a vital anchor of community life, the library is destined to grow in importance to town groups and individuals; it is not too early to chart specifics of its future course. In my second year as Director, I wish to express my appreciation for the efforts of an extraordinarily loyal and efficient staff, for the advice and counsel of a dedi- cated Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, and for the kind of public which it is an honor and pleasure to serve. I count on their support for the con- tinuing effort to keep our library at the high level it now enjoys. Respectfully submitted, KARL E.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 205 The report of the Town Celebrations Committee for the year 1962 is herewith respectfully submitted. Our committee, consisting of nine members, each serving three year terms, and representing various interests in the town, met twenty -eight times during the year. Patriot's Day The theme selected by the committee for the April 19th celebration was "Our Heritage of Freedom." Carrying on in the established tradition, the day began with the Sunrise Parade, assembling in East Lexington. at 7 a.m. Participants in this parade, all Lexington residents, comprise the veteran and patriotic organizations, civic and youth groups, and the Lexington Senior and Junior High School Bands. The parade ended with a short ceremony on the Green, and the raising of the flag by the Sea Scouts. The White Tricorn Hat, awarded each year by the Lions Club, was presented to Mr. Albert G. Frothingham of the Lexington Minute Men. Chief Marshal of our afterncon parade was Mr. Raymond E. Lewis of Stanley Hill Post #38, American Legion, and a former chairman of our committee. All branches of our armed services were represented in the parade, with either bands or marching units or both. Our committee appreciates the interest and cooperation of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard in participating in the parade. R.O.T.C. units, veterans organizations, service and youth groups, as well as high school bands are all an important part of the parade. Each year the float entries have increased, and have been most outstanding. We feel the unusually beautiful floats reflect the interest of our townspeople in giving so generously of their time. Members of the Lexington Historic Guides Association, in colonial costume were on the Green throughout the day to give historical talks to the many interested visitors. A House Decorating Contest, initiated by the local JayCees, revived a custom which had not been practiced for many years. Eric Handley, of Lexington High School, was the official photographer, and the films of this parade, as well as of the three previous years, are now in Cary Memorial Library, and may be borrowed by any interested group in town. 206 HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES Lexington has continued its close cooperation with Dr. Francis C. McDonald, chairman of the Concord Committee on Public Ceremonies and Celebrations, to the mutual advantage of both towns. U. N. DAY U. N. Day, October 24th, opened with a 7 a.m. flag raising ceremony on the Green, by representatives of the American Legion, V.F.W., Marine Corps League and Lexington Minute Men. U. N. Flags, donated by the Lions Club, were presented to the town at that time. The U. N. tree, given by the Lexington Jr. Chamber of Commerce, was planted at Franklin School, after an interesting program by the pupils. Mr. William Roger Greeley, architect for Franklin School, as well as a prominent instigator of the local and national observance of United Nations Day. was our honored guest. The Lexington High School Student Council again arranged a U. N. Assembly Program, at which time the winners of the Essay Contest, Mary Hauser, and William Martin read their essays. As they have done in previous years, the Lexington Rotary Club generously assumed the expenses of a trip to the U. N. for the winning boy and girl and their two chaperons, teachers from the Lexington High School. Thanksgiving Since 1957 our committee has sponsored an annual Community Thanksgiving service, with the clergy of the three faiths taking part. It was therefore with great reluctance that our committee this fall asked the Board of Selectmen to relieve us of the responsibility for the Thanksgiving service. After failing to increase attendance over this period, the committee in 1961 determined to make sure that all townspeople were aware of the service. In addition to the usual good publicity in the Lexington Minute -man, the committee distributed programs to all churches on Sunday morning of the service. The result of this extra effort was no increase in attendance, and was most disappointing to the committee. Early in 1962 Mrs. Patricia N. Fox of our committee, contacted all clergy in an effort to determine if possible the reason for the low attendance. After studying her very complete report, the committee felt the general lack of interest in the service warranted its discontinuance, and the Board of Selectmen at their meeting Oct. 1, 1962, voted to relieve the Town Celebrations Committee of its responsibility for the service. 250th Anniversary A 250th Anniversary Committee was formed the first of the year to plan HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES 207 the commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Lexington. Before 1713, the town was known as Cambridge 'Farms. The com- mittee, consisting of seven members, with Mr. Charles E. Parks, chairman, has given unstintingly of their time and efforts to make the forthcoming celebration one of which the town can be proud. We extend our sincere thanks to the many town departments, organizations and individuals who worked with us throughout the year to keep alive "Our Heritage of Freedom."

Memorial Day services for Veterans of all wars was observed in the traditional manner in which the town has honored its deceased Veterans for many years. Separate services were conducted at Munroe, Colonial and Westview cemeteries and the observance was concluded on the Battle Green where an invocation was offered; reading of the Proclamation by Selectman Lincoln Cole followed by addresses by Commanders of the various Military organizations of the town, raising of the colors and sounding of Taps. All monuments and graves of Veterans were decorated with flags and wreaths as is customary for the occasion. Respectfully submitted, MAURICE D. HEALY REPORT OF VETERANS' DAY OBSERVANCE December 31, 1962 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Submitted herewith is the annual report of the observance of Veterans' Day, 1962. Veterans' Day was observed with a parade from the Junior High School on Massachusetts Avenue to the Battle Green.

Quite obviously, not all matters discussed and acted upon by the school committee during the year can be included in the Annual Report, and omitted items may be of greater interest to some citizens than those included. Any one wanting informa- tion on a subject not included in this report can easily get it by asking the admin- istrative office, by calling a member of the school committee, or by reading school committee minutes. Our Schools in Action and the Lexington Minute Man also carry frequent reports about our schools. The school committee is encouraged by the good attendance at its meetings this year, which seem to indicate a genuine interest in our schools. Of basic importance for an effective working relationship is a clear understand- ing of the responsibilities of the school committee and the Superintendent of Schools. We believe that it is our responsibility to set policy; it is the responsibility of the Superintendent to see that policies are carried out. The school committee is concerned with all aspects of the school system that affect the quality of educa- tion offered to boys and girls of Lexington. We have a responsibilty to be well in- formed on all school matters in order to take responsible action. One of our major concerns and responsibilities is an understanding and ap- proval of the curriculum and a knowledge of how it is implemented. One of the ways by which we try to keep ourselves informed is to receive and discuss reports on vari- ous programs at all levels. The Superintendent regularly reports to the committee on matters he wishes it to consider or about which committee members have asked questions. In addition to this, it is very helpful to the committee to receive from other administrators and from members of the teaching staff frequent reports on some subject area or on the total program within a building. As a rule, a written background report is sent to the school committe in advance of the meeting at which an oral report is to be given. Following the oral presentation, school committee members have an opportunity to ask questions and comment on the subject being reviewed. In keeping with this policy, reports on the following subjects have been received from staff members during 1962: Physical education at the elementary and secondary levels. Basic Studies Program. Advanced Program. Pupil Personnel Services. The Language Arts Program in Lexington Schools. Elementary Science Program. Music in the 'Lexington Schools. Reports on programs in operation at Adams, Munroe, Estabrook, Fiske, Parker, and the Diamond Junior High Schools. 252 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Reports from other buildings and on other programs are scheduled for 1963, with at least one report each month. Among the many reports presented by Mr. Bair, our Superintendent, was a corn - prehensive review of the Teacher Leadership Program now in operation in Lexing- ton. The purpose of this program is to recognize outstanding teaching combined with educational leadership in Lexington and in the teaching profession. This program is carefully followed and continually reviewed. The school committee follows very carefully any new programs and receives frequent evaluative reports. For example, the Pre -First Grade Program was in- stituted in the summer of 1962. The program operated for a period of seven weeks with a required attendance of four weeks for each child and was open to all children eligible for the first grade in September. Reports from administrators, teachers and parents indicated that this program was quite successful and on the basis of these reports the program will be continued in the summer of 1963, but will be limited to a six -week period. Summer workshops for teachers, still relatively new in Lexington, in which cur- riculum material is developed, brought up to date, and improved have been most helpful to the total program. Teachers work in subject matter areas or at various levels — elementary, junior high, and senior high. For example, in developing a curriculum for the Basic Studies course teachers representing the disciplines cf English, social studies, science and mathematics worked together to develop a pro- gram designed to be especially helpful for younesters who have been continuously underachievers. After the gratifying progress made during the first year of op- erating this program at the tenth grade level, it was extended to the eleventh grade with continued success. The program under consideration for the twelfth grade includes plans for some work experience for each youngster. Other cur- riculum studies conducted at the 1962 summer workshop included the language arts, social studies, and science. In 1962 the Harvard- Lexington Summer Program was in operation for the second time. The evaluative reports indicate that this program has been very help- ful in the training of teachers and in increasing the interest of pupils. Four hun- dred and ninety -seven pupils from the participating communities were enrolled in the 1962 summer program. This program is operated without cost to Lexington, except the slight cost of increased use of two buildings. Elementary library facilities are being expanded providing enriched teaching materials. In several buildings adequate space is not available, but we are using, as effectively as possible, what space there is. For the first time in Lexington we have special Facilities and equipment for the teaching of languages. A language laboratory is in use at the William Diamond Junior High School. Limited space at the Muzzey Junior High makes it impossible to have a complete language laboratory there at the present time, but special equipment has been purchased and is being used. A complete laboratory will be provided when space can be made available. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 253 254 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT In accordance with state law we have established a class for the emotionally disturbed. This program is an expensive one. Trained personnel are difficult to find. Special guidance personnel are necessary. An evaluation of the program cannot be made at this early date. Physical facilities — buildings and equipment — are a concern and a respon- sibility of the school committee. The need for buildings is determined by the en- rollment. The kinds of facilities are determined by the curriculum. This year we have in the Lexington Schools 7,005 pupils. Enrollment projections indicate 10,- 150 pupils in our schools in 1970. In order to have ready the facilities we need at the proper time, long range planning is necessary. Our plans include an enlarged secondary school facility which would have been ready for operation in the fall of 1964 had not the Town Meeting vote authorizing funds for the final plans been overturned by a referendum vote. It should be pointed out that the availability of this secondary school facility will affect the use of space throughout the school system. An enlarged high school will provide flexibility. By including the ninth grade in the high school program and moving selected sixth grades to the junior high buildings, construction of a third junior high school can be delayed until the early 1970's, and another ele- mentary building need not be opened until September 1966. The delay in enlarging the high school will cause some changes in school opera- tion that the school committee had hoped to avoid. Double sessions for the tenth grade in 1963 -64 probably could not have been avoided; now we can expect double sessions until scree time in 1965, and ether secondary school classes may be involved. Also, enrollments in two elementary school districts will make it necessary to divide multi - purpose rooms into classrooms or resort to double sessions for some grades before new facilities can now be made available. One of the major concerns of the school committee is creating a climate that will attract and make it possible to keep outstanding teachers. Freedom to teach, meaningful supervision, and adequate salary levels are necessary if we are to em- ploy and keep the teachers we want in Lexington. We are pleased that one of the frequently expressed comments from teachers indicates that "teachers are allowed to teach" in Lexington. We shall be pleased to honor this year five people who have been in our system twenty -five years, ten for thirty years, one for thirty -five years, one for forty years, and one for forty -five years. Finances are of continuing concern to the school committee. We must prepare annually a budget- for presentation at the Annual Town Meeting in March. Build- ing this budget is a year -round job. By far the biggest item in our budget is sal- aries, as it should be. As our physical facilities necessarily expand, the maintenance of plant is an increasing cost. We believe that good maintenance is sound economy. We are, however, constantly looking for more efficient ways of maintenance which will effect economies. We are concerned with curriculum, the selection of outstanding teachers, adequate facilities, and an adequate budget because we are concerned with pro- viding the very best education possible for every boy and girl in Lexington whatever his academic talents may be. As citizens and taxpayers in Lexington we appreciate the current need for economy. We have a deep conviction, however, that economy should not be so drastic as to lower our educational standards. We are indebted to many people for their cooperation in planning for the ed- ucational needs in Lexington. This year the Recreation Committee, the Appro- priations Committee, Planning Board, Capital Expenditures Committee, the Board of Selectmen, School Building Committee, and the school committee have worked together in planning outdoor athletic facilities for the high school and recreational facilities in the central area of town. These and other meetings with the other town boards and their friendly cooperation are of great value to the school commit- tee and to the Town. This year the Maintenance Study Committee is the only school committee - appointed study committee which had met with us to discuss a recent report. Several recommendations of this committee have already been put into effect and the school committee again expresses its appreciation for a job well done. Space does not permit mention of all individuals and groups to whom the school committee is indebted for help of many kinds. The PTA's, the Citizens Committee for the Lexington Public Schools, and the League of Women Voters have been very helpful in gathering information for the schools and presenting facts to the voters. To them and to many others who work quietly but effectively we are grateful. The school committee expresses sincere appreciation to the Standing School Building Committee. For many years the Town appointed a building committee for each new building with a member of the school committee on each one. Those of us who have served under both systems recognize the advantages of the Standing School Building Committee, which develops a background of information that makes possible better planning and more efficient supervision during the building process. We are especially grateful that Ronald S. Woodberry, Jr. was a member of our committee. His keen perception, his analysis and interpretation of problems in light of his business experience, and his good common sense made his opinion one we valued. We realized how great was his interest in his Town and its public schools when we learned that he had carefully budgeted his energy in order to serve his community for what he knew must be a limited time. His death was a Toss to us all. It is with pleasure that we, as members of the Lexington School Committee, point to the fine work being done by our school staff. We commend our Superin- SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 255 tendent of Schools, Medill Bair, for his wise and effective leadership. To him and to his administrative associates, to principals and teachers, supervisors and coordina- tors, librarians, nurses, doctors, counselors, lunchroom personnel, secretaries, book- keepers, custodians and maintenance staff, we express warm appreciation for their dedication to excellence in the performance of their many respective duties in our rapidly- growing school system. It is widely recognized that Lexington Schools are good, among the best. With consistent community support they will continue to become better each year. Respectfully submitted, SANBORN C. BROWN, Chairman MILDRED B. MAREK MERRILL F. NOR 'LIN VERNON C. PAGE ALFRED L. VIANO School Committee 256 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT To the Members of the School Committee: This is the seventy - seventh in a series of printed Annual Reports of the Lex- ington Superintendent of Schools, the first having been issued in 1885. It is the fourth I have prepared, the first being in 1959. The subject matter of most of these reports has been uniform and this will be no different in that respect; however, instead of stressing only the activities of the current year, I shall attempt to relate past activities with current ones in an attempt to see what trends are operating. For those who read no further, let one point be underlined: Lexington Schools have been continually improved during the past few years. The staff has been up- graded and the quality of instruction and learning has increased. All data avail- able to your Superintedent bear out this point, but this trend may not continue be- cause instructional space is becoming less available and double sessions are im- minent. Problems of securing replacement and additional staff are becoming acute. With the supervisory time required to help these teachers becoming less available, these factors may cause a decline in the quality of instruction and the quality of learning. Enrollment Data: Let us look at the enrollment increases that have occurred in our schools during the past few years. Several different kinds of grade group- ings will give one an opportunity to see the trends as they are developing. During the past three years our estimates have been somewhat low. The estimates for 1965, 1968, and 1971 use the same conservative predictive procedure as has been previously used: Enrollment by Grade Groupings Year 1 - 12 1 -6 7 -8 7 -8 -9 9- 12 10 -11 -12 1950 2786 1678 412 596 696 512 1953 3499 2306 480 669 712 524 1956 4672 2977 742 1085 953 610 1959 5868 3465 1057 1445 1366 958 1962 7005 4009 1094 1650 1902 1346 1965 8107 4613 1372 1970 2122 1524 1968 9343 5241 1553 2271 2549 1831 1971 10578 5868 1783 2607 2927 1997 Startling increases are revealed in the above figures. Our increases since 1953 have been about 400 new pupils a year. We need 15 to 20 new classrooms every year. On the average, this trend will continue in future years. Perhaps it is easier to see this alarming problem by comparing our present en- rollment and the present capacity of each building: SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 257 October 1, 1962, Enrollment Elementary Total Capacity Adams 434 432 Estabrook 517 667 (1) (2) Fiske 511 513 Franklin 514 522 (1) Hancock 253 216 Harrington 595 540 Hastings 638 540 Munroe 248 243 (2) Parker 299 351 Total 4009 4038 Secondary — Diamond 864 900 Muzzey 786 800 (2) Senior High 1346 1200 Total 2996 2900 Grand Total 7005 6938 (1) When Franklin and Estabrook are used as team teaching schools; 82 less when used as conventional schools. (2) Including special classes. The above table indicates that, with the exception of the Parker and Estabrook Schools, we have nearly reached or have exceeded our capacities in every elemen- tary school. Thus, class sizes have been and will continue to be enlarged, all in- adequate and substandard spaces available have been made into classrooms, and next fall the auditoriums at the Harrington and Hastings Schools will be sacrificed and converted to classrooms. Our junior high schools are rapidly reaching their capacities, while our senior high school has exceeded it, with certain classes being eliminated and class size being increased. Because over 200 additional pupils will move into our already overcrowed high school next year, it will be necessary to place our tenth grade youngsters on double session. It is probable that the eleventh grade will go on double session the following year if additional space is not avail- able by September 1964. At the high school level double sessions create distressing problems. For the tenth grade pupils there will be very serious consequences. 1. The present schedule and that planned next year for the 1 1 th and 12th grade pupils allows 350 minutes of class time per day. For those committed to double sessions about 270 minutes will be avail- able. In whatever way this 270 minutes is scheduled, it is evident that reduced class time and a program allowing less freedom of choice would result. 258 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 2. Opportunities for special help and make -up will be considerably cur- tailed. The availability of teachers or of conference space for this purpose will be severely limited. Parent conferences will be in- creasingly difficult to schedule. 3. Opportunities for participation in extracurricular activities and in- tramural and interscholastic athletics will be drastically limited. Even though it may be possible to schedule some choral and instru- mental periods to coincide with the 11th and 12th grade schedules, these available periods will be no more than half of what are now scheduled, and will require the return of one -half of the 10th grad- ers to their off- session. 4. The division of the class, no matter how it is determined, will in- evitably limit opportunities for cooperative teaching, and inhibit freedom of course selection and flexibility of grouping. Courses for which there is limited demand will have to be eliminated. 5. The effectiveness of our counseling program will inevitably suffer from double sessions because of the constricted schedule and lim- ited counselor availability during the entire ten -hour span. 6. With a single reading specialist and a tight schedule, probably with no study periods, the possibility of individual or small group remedial reading for the 10th graders will be considerably reduced. The same will be true also of speech and reading classes. 7. Library opportunities and service will be drastically curtailed for those on double sessions. 8. Finally, the division of any class or classes into A. M. and P. M. ses- sions presents a threat to class unity and organization and, less directly, to school morale. This program cannot help but disunify our present closely -knit faculty. Pos- sibilities for cooperative planning and teaching, and informal exchange of views become increasingly difficult. Faculty, departmental, and committee meetings will be almost impossible to schedule. It is particularly to be regretted that possibilities for sharing ideas between teachers of comparable 10th grade classes will be cut in half. A disunified and fragmented faculty will, of necessity, lose some of the es- prit de corps that is so important to a good educational atmosphere. There is no question that the recruitment of the best - qualified teachers will be much more difficult under these circumstances whether temporary or not. Further- more, the employment of less experienced teachers will be more hazardous as our supervision spreads thinner over a ten -hour span. Nonetheless, we have one major reason to believe that we will continue to operate an excellent program. We have a staff that will not accept any other kind. Their efforts should counteract the above disadvantage for a year or so. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 259 Staff Problems: A constant problem relating to personnel is that of a changing faculty. Resignations and additions to our staff each year has made a supervisory problem which is a very difficult one for our principals and department heads to handle adequately. First let us look at the problem of resignations to see exactly what is happening. Resignations 1958 -62 1958 -59 1959 -60 1960 -61 1961 -62 No. % No. % No. % No. % 1.

Others 4 9 2 4 4 7 7 14 Three out of every five teachers who leave Lexington do so for family reasons; one out of every five accepts a new position, and the others leave for many dif- ferent reasons. There seems to be a declining percentage of teachers resigning for family reasons. We have lost slightly more people in the last two years to new positions than in the prior two years, although it is not a great difference. An examination of reasons why these people left Lexington shows that half ac- cepted administrative or supervisory positions either in other schools or teaching positions in colleges. We are pleased that other school systems and the colleges feel that our teachers are doing such an excellent job that they wish to employ them in significant leadership roles. The large number of new teachers each year resulting from resignations and the establishment of new positions have resulted in an extremely high supervisory load for our principals and department heads. The table below indicates this prob- lem: Supervisory Load of Principals and A B C D Teachers To Go On Principals 2nd Elec. (2) C. Johnson 13 -2 J. Hibbard 10 -1 C. Howard 10 -1 W. E. Sim 5 -3 A. B.

It does not include the assistant principals in our three secondary schools who are gradually assuming some of the supervisory load. Column B: Teachers eligible for second election. Basically, this includes all teachers, both experienced and inexperienced, who are employed for the first time in the Lexington Public Schools. Column C: Teachers eligible for third election. This includes teachers who are in Lexington for the second year and if re- elected will be given a third con- tract in March. Columns B and C: Numerous visits to classrooms, including several written evaluations, are required of our supervisory personnel for each of these people. For any teacher about whom there is any question or any doubt a written evalua- tion and conference will be held with that teacher prior to the December holidays. In all cases, a final complete evaluation will be placed on file in the Superintend- ent's office prior to his recommendation to the school committee of the election of any teacher in group B or C. Column D: Teachers eligible to be placed on tenure. This group is in its third year in Lexington and if re- employed will be placed on tenure. In over half of these cases the teachers will have had considerable experience elsewhere. Before making a recommendation that a teacher be placed on tenure, the same procedures on evaluation are used as indicated under Columns B and C, plus a very' intensive look by all concerned to guarantee to Lexington a continuation of an ever- improving level of instructional ability. We consider placing a teacher on tenure in Lexington the finest compliment that can be paid to any professional educator. Tenure is earned by a teacher. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 261 Column E: Teachers on tenure. In general, there are less frequent visits to tenure teachers and assistance is more upon request or through the development of problem situations. These teachers are, to a degree, neglected in favor of work- ing with teachers who fail under Columns B, C, D, and F. They are, however, our best teachers and as true professionals need less supervisory help. Column F: Some teachers who are on tenure are also eligible to apply for our leadership pro;ram. Column G: Total teachers. This gives us a picture of the total number of teachers for whom a supervisor is responsible. It is an extremely high load. The supervisory lead of some department heads in Lexington is as high as that of some principals. This means that we must relieve the department head's supervisory and /or administrative load through the establishment of department chairmen in each secondary school. This is one of the major problems facing our school system. The supervisory load is extremely high and the importance of the jab to be done is of the highest significance if we wish to maintain the high quality level of our present staff. The time available to work with each teacher is lessened each year because of the increasing load. No clear -cut situation is in sight. One must be found be- fore quality begins to be lowered. An imperceptible downward movement may soon become a downward slide. Related to the two items previously discussed — increasing enrollments and staff problems — can be added a third which does not require much space for delinea- tion, but which is exceedingly important io every parent. There is no doubt that the results of the two trends mentioned above are a decline in the time available for individualized instruction. it is very apparent that in the next few years the possibility of additional staff is not likely because of the financial situation existing in Lexington and we must be prepared for the consequences. Fortunately, as this report is written we have as outstanding a staff as Lexington has ever had. Our teachers are doing an exceptionally fine job. How long our staff can maintain the quality of instruction with the addition of many new students and many new teachers plus an ever - increasin shortage of regular and specialized classroom space is problematic. One can examine the significance of this trend only in the future. A guess today would require a pessimistic answer. Lexington is indeed fortunate to have this outstanding staff. It is the result of excellent personnel policies developed by past school committees and approved by the town, significantly improved recruitment practices developed by our ad- ministrative staff and carried through during the past few years, and a generally increasing demand by cur community for a higher quality staff. We have it. Can we maintain it? It is quite clear that there is a wide divergence of opinion in Lex- ington as to whether the financial sacrifices that must be made to maintain and to upgrade the quality of instruction in Lexington is worthwhile. The answer will be found in the way our citizens will react in the next few years to problems of edu- 262 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT cation. We are at the crossroads. We can move up or down. Our citizens will make the decision. Curriculum Problems: It has been obvious for some years that our curriculum in many areas was falling behind the best current teaching and organizational pat- terns. Through the employment of our teachers in summer workshops, to which were brought as consultants outstanding scholars in the major disciplines, complete re- vision of the major curriculum areas have been, are being or will be effected. A summary of the substantial progress made during the past three years follows: Art: Revision has been effected from grades 1/12. English: A pilot study was completed last summer and study is continuing at the present time. During the coming summer a work group will effect the first thorou,-h revision of a coordinated 1/12 program. Mathematics: Except in grades 1/3 where work is in progress, our mathe- matics prcgram has been kept up to date through the efforts of curriculum com- mittees and department meetings. Music: A completely revised program in music was effected in grades 1/9 with grades 10/12 requiring additional work. Tremendous improvement can also be noted in our instrumental music program. Physical Education: Our physical education courses of study in the elementary grades have been completely rewritten and are in the hands of teachers. Grades 7/12 have been rewritten but will require some further study. Modern Language: Much work has been done in this area but much remains to be done. Our emphasis on the oral aspects of language has increased in the past few years without decreasing the other aspects of the program. At the present time considerable efforts are needed at the secondary level to determine what language should be started at what grade levels, and to develop tapes to use with classes and individuals. Science: Our greatest problem at the present time exists at the eighth grade level where the program will be rewritten completely during the coming summer. In our chemistry and biology areas we are trying out some new programs which should be expanded for all youngsters in the years ahead. In grades 1/7 our pro- grams have been written and rewritten and include substantial materials. Addi- ticnal elementary school units are needed as are evaluation devices. Social Studies: Substantial units have been developed in many areas with the most significant recent data being developed in the team teaching schools and for the Advanced Program in grade 10. A pilot study is planned for this coming sum - mer, followed by a working writing workshop during the summer of 1964. A principal purpose of this workshop will be to coordinate our complete program (grades 1 112), using the substantial materials that have been developed in the past. Special Programs: The Advanced Program started in 1959 now reaches from grades 3 -10 and is at that point where coordination with the honors program at SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 263 the high school is being developed. A Basic Studies program for youngsters with more ability than has been shown in their achievement results was developed in grades 10 and 11 and shows signs of significant progress. This is an inter- disciplinary approach to instruction with specifically developed curriculum materials, plus a closely -knit teaching staff reinforced by professional counseling. Efforts are being made to extend the program downward into the junior high grades. In addition, for the emotionally disturbed, it has been possible, under Public Law 750, to develop a class at the Estabrook School. This has worked out very well at this school because it is possible for these youngsters to be placed in some of the regular classes which would be less feasible in a traditionally organized school. It is very likely that this program will have to be extended to the secondary level in the near future. Our team teaching program at the Franklin and Estabrook Schools has proven a success. Aspects of this program are operating in many of our schools. The most successful characteristics should be extended to all our schools. In Appreciation: It is not possible to give credit to the many individuals and groups who are responsible for our fine school system. It has been characteristic of the Lexington people to place their time and effort behind the development of an ever - improving educational program. Characteristic groups might include the Police Department under the leadership of Chief John Rycroft, whose untiring efforts have helped protect our children to and from school, and our school build- ings; the Fire Department under the leadership of Chief Bernard Belcastro, whose fire drills and school inspections have made our staff and youngsters aware of the basic fire safety procedures; the Public Works Department under the leadership of John Carroll, whose advice and assistance have made it possible for us to emulate many of their excellent practices and whose snowplows keep our streets, sidewalks, and school driveways clear so that schools may operate. The Board of Selectmen, the Capital Expenditures Committee, the Appropria- tions Committee, and the School Sites Committee have labored hard in solving many of our problems and are entitled to a real share in our success. The Standing School Building Committee, whose many years of efforts in planning economical and efficient schools for our youngsters, deserve much more than the usual "thank you." Their devotion to the interests of Lexington has greatly improved the opportunities for the boys and girls of Lexington to continue their education. We could continue listing many other official and quasi - public groups, for there are many. We are grateful to them all and know that the teamwork of such People has made Lexington the wonderful town it is. We appreciate the help of the many citizen groups whose contributions to Lexington's youth are so extensive that they cannot be completely enumerated. Among leading examples would be our Parent - Teacher Associations, the League of Women Voters, the Citizens Committee for the Lexington Public Schools, and the many other less formal groups and individuals who have worked on behalf of our youngsters. Without their help our efforts would have been much less effective. 264 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT We would be remiss if we did not again comment on the fine staff of teachers whose direct responsibility is helping our youngsters develop their individual talents. They have done their jcb well. The level of the educational program in Lexington is the result of a continuing demand on the part of our citizens for a quality school system. Their chosen representatives on the school committee have trans.ated these demands into policies which have continued the improvement of our educational program. Their major efforts have resulted in practices that have made it possible for Lexington to recruit and hold a greater number of capable teachers. Your superintendent appreciates having the opportunity to work with citizens who are demanding the best, a school committee who are interested in securing the best, and a staff willing and able to produce the best. The demand for quality has made more difficult the task of every teacher and administrator, and at the same time has made their work more satisfying. It is clear that all our efforts have not been in vain when we note the products of our school system — the high level of educational development of the youth of Lexington. We must continue to move forward. There should be no standing still, for that would soon lead to a lowering of standards and a willingness to accept less than the best. Your superintendent and his entire staff have dedicated and will continue to dedicate their best efforts to guarantee the boys and girls of Lexington the high level educational program that has been demanded by the citizens of Lexington. Respectfully submitted, MEDILL BAIR, Superintendent of Schools SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES 265 266 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT This report will be brief. Reports of the principals in the secondary schools, from two elementary principals, and from the Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services will be part of this overall report. Each year reports from several elementary principals will be included. The heart of any school system is the teacher in the classroom. Securing this person and working with teachers, department heads, principals, and coordinators in the improvement of curriculum materials and the instruction process are the two major functions of this division. Improvements— During the past year it is interesting to note some of the ways the Lexington School System has been improved. 1. The improved use of our own specialists working with elementary teachers on Thursday afternoons has given the elementary in- service training program a real lift. Here workshops are held throughout the year in major areas revolving about the language arts. In addition, workshops in art, music, science, and handwriting have also been held for all elementary teachers. 2. The library services in the elementary schools have been improved with the addition of Mrs. Ethel Heins and Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttle. 3. Dur- ing the 1962 summer workshop the social studies program in grades one through six was improved by teachers in the Franklin and Estabrook Schools. Since ten teachers worked on this representing these two schools, this material is now being, tried out and will be available later on for other schools in Lexington. 4. Our total language program has been materially increased. There is presently a portable language laboratory in use at the Diamond Junior High School. With the employ- ment of Miss Evelyn Brega as Coordinator, force and direction have now been given to this part of cur curriculum. 5. The music pogram, particularly the string section, has been improved by the employment of Mr. Eleftherios Eleftherakis. 6. In the field of mathematics great strides have been made in all fields from grades one through twelve. There is an increased use of Cuisenaire rods and other supple- mentary materials in the primary grades. The S.M.S.G. material is now in full use in grades 4, 5, and 6. In the junior and senior high school many other improve- ments have been made. The advanced placement calculus course at the senior high school taught by Richard Buck provided those in the class with an opportunity to secure a year of college advancement in mathematics. The introduction of probability taught by Clifford Baker and matrix algebra taught by Ronald Schutt provided seniors with a new elective course. 7. The athletic equipment problem at the high school handling thousands of dollars worth of materials in every sport has been improved with the employment of Mr. Vincent Messina. 8. Joseph Fallo joined the Lexington School System in September of 1962 and this has strengthened the elementary science program. 9. Our practice teaching arrangements have been strengthened with the use of cooperative teaching and supervision with Boston University at the Harrington School; Lesley College at Adams School; and Brandeis University at Hancock School. 10. Public Law 750 made it mandatory for school systems to establish classes for the emotionally disturbed. Lexington is one of the leaders in having one of these classes established in accordance with this law. 11. The athletic program, particularly the soccer and hockey programs, have been strengthened by the addition of Forbes Keith. Personnel— Lexington is fortunate in having outstanding staff members. The fact that so many have been elected to offices in local, state, and regional associa- tions, and many others are in demand as speakers and writers, indicate the quality of the people on our staff. A sampling, for space is at a premium, follows: Richard G. Woodward was elected vice president at large, of the National School Public Relations Association. Sara Jaffarian was recently elected to a four year term as one of 98 counselors of the American Library Association. Leo V. Gittzus has been elected president of New England Industrial Arts Association and James R. Maclnnes was elected president of the Massachusetts Industrial Education Society. Edward E. Abell is president of the Eastern Massachusetts Basketball Coaches Association, and John C. Janusas is vice president of the Eastern Massa- chusetts Football Coach Association. Doris B. Leavitt is president of Bouve Alumnae Association. Donald J. Gillespie, Jr., is president of the Massachusetts Educators Association while Oscar W. Krichmar is secretary of the Massachusetts School Counselors Association. Some staff members are studying under national awards. Dr. Constance C. Murray is in California for the year under a grant from the John Hay Fellows Program. Merrel A. Collard, Jr., is presently on sabbatical leave as a doctoral student at Boston University. Frank Lord is studying in the National Defense Education Guidance Institute at Boston University. Robert Kirk is studying in England and is on sabbatical leave. Many times staff members are asked to speak at various county and state -wide meetings. A few of these are Mrs. Jeanette Ayvazian, Alexander B. Cumming, Ethel B. Bears, Richard Barnes, William F. Read, Gerald J. Pine, Angelo V. Boy, Robert P. Franz, and Nancy J. Haley. Many teachers have written or published articles on teaching or related teaching materials. These include Mrs. Margaret K. Bonney, Angelo V. Boy, Gerald J. Pine, Nathalie L. Crowe, Mary M. O'Connell, Lillian M. Spidle, and Howard C. Llewellyn. As other evidence of the strength of our staff many have been asked to teach in local colleges and universities. These include Dr. Henry L. Isaksen, Dr. Angelo V. Boy at Boston University, Nicholas J. Dincecco at Suffolk University, Gerald J. Pine at Boston State College, Edward J. Brady at Calvin Coolidge College, and John A. Rennie at Holy Cross College. Workshops —In improving the curriculum opportunities for children it is always well to have curriculum guides in the hands of the teachers. For the past three summers Lexington has been a leader in having workshops and opportunities for teachers to work on curriculum materials. During the 1962 workshop there were fifty teachers working in the following areas: Advanced Program for grade 10, art in grades 1 through 6, Basic Studies program in grades 10 and 11, the ele- mentary, junior, and senior high school French programs, a pilot workshop in the language arts as well as music in grades 1 through 12, science in grades 1 through 7, and social studies in grades 1 through 6. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 267 Curriculum guides were developed in each of these areas and were placed in the hands of teachers upon their return to school in September. Problems —Every school system which is trying to improve, encounters certain problems. I will discuss only three. The first and most important problem facing us is how to secure, keep, and upgrade experienced teachers, coordinators, depart- ment heads, and principals. Lexington faces a highly competitive group of school systems seeking to attract the best teachers possible and then make it possible for them to utilize their skills to the fullest. The school committee can approve policies, salary, fringe benefits, which give teachers the opportunity to teach under favorable conditions. The community also can help by assisting in housing, and by creating an environment where teachers want to come to teach. All play a part in this. It is a constant problem year in and year out, and will probably be so for years to come. Everyone in the school system and in the community has a stake in helping to make it possible for outstanding teachers to come and to remain in Lexington. This year more than ever this problem exists. While salary is only part of this problem it is a very important part, particularly for the outstanding begin- ning teacher. Since Lexington takes a few of these each year it is important, therefore, that we make our salary guide highly competitive with the best school systems, not only in this area, but throughout the nation. Teachers today are in a position to be able to choose school systems, rather than the other way around. When the writer first secured a position there were probably twenty teachers looking for each position. Today it is safe to say that there are twenty superin- tendents looking for each teacher. That teacher selects her school system. It is up to us to put our best foot forward so that the best of these teachers will select the best of the school systems, here. Secondly, when we need more space for our programs at the various grade levels, we then have to curtail programs or make shifts in what we are attempting to do. This is true of Lexington this year and will be true for the next few years until we have adequate facilities. The fact that we have these problems at both Hastings and Harrington will curtail the program in these two schools. In the very near future we will be having space problems at the junior high school and assuming at this writing (December) that the high school additional facilities will be available in the 1964 -65 school year our space problems will be alleviated at this level for a little while. In the meantime, however, the double session problem for the tenth graders at the Lexington High School is posing some very serious problems. Third, we are very sorry that Margaret A. Keefe, principal of the Hastings School could not return. She is at home on doctor's orders and probably by the time this report is in print she will be back in Lexington. If not, this presents a serious problem to all of us, for Miss Keefe has given great leadership in the Lexington elementary schools for many, many years. We miss her, we need her, and we are sorry that she is not with us. In her absence, Helen Blinkhorn has carried on remarkably well in view of the many space problems at the Hastings School. Respectfully submitted, PAUL F. POEHLER, Director of Instructional Services 268 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL Among the most urgent of our aims for 1962, as well as for coming years, has been emphasis on meeting the educational needs of all students, with particular attention to those who represent the "average" Lexington student. Earlier efforts to provide an appropriate program for gifted students and for those who have had real academic difficulties have not only helped those for whom these programs were intended, but have also enriched teaching at all levels, since all teachers are assigned classes at more than one level Furthermore, strong departmental organi- zation assures free exchange of ideas and techniques which can upgrade teaching throughout the school Since 70% to 80% of Lexington High School students are enrolled in H, A, or B level classes and are, therefore, thinking in terms of preparation for some form of future schooling, the so- called "average" Lexington student would fall in this category It is in this area where our greatest efforts and our greatest successes have been achieved, and where much of our future concern must be concentrated. Of the 20% to 30% enrolled primarily in non- college preparatory courses, about 10% are receiving strong preparation for business employment or for further business training. Approximately 5% are enrolled in the Basic Studies Program. Continuing improvement in both these areas assures adequate attention to the special needs of these students. This leaves from 5% to 15% who are enrolled in a variety of general courses, and whose aptitudes and /or interests in academic work are limited. It is this group that needs the greatest immediate attention. Some might benefit more from the kind of vocational training that is available through state- operated trade or tech- nical schools. Perhaps the Basic Studies Program could be expanded to include some of this number. It is most important that we continue to work toward a more suitable educational opportunity for these young people. 1962 marked the second year since our evaluation and accreditation by the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. A required two -year report of progress has been submitted and accepted. This report showed that most of the recommendations made by the Visiting Committee have been or are being carried out. Some recommendations dealing with plant and facilities will be taken care of by the forthcoming high school addition. A similar study of progress on recommendations made by tho Citize -s' 'Committee and the Harvard Field Study is being undertaken. These three evaluations have proved most helpful in pointing out directions for further improvement. One other significant development of 1962 was the quantity and quality of applicants for teaching positions during the early months of the year, enabling us to select top - quality additions and replacements. We consider our present staff one of the finest that could be assembled. Distressing clouds on our horizon at present are indications of a partial double session next year in which 10th trade sudents will split into morning and after- SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 269 noon sessions while 1 1 th and 12th grade students follow the normal program. Dura- tion of this expedient will depend upon the speed with which additional facilities can be completed. It is hoped that our strong staff and sound program can, by careful scheduling, overcome some of the limitations imposed by this double - session situa- tion. In spite of this cloud, we look with confidence to a future of continuous improvement in our education program once the space problems are solved. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES C. JOHNSON, Principal 270 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE WILLIAM DIAMOND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The major effort of William Diamond Junior High School is to provide a program designed to meet the interests, needs and abilities of the early adolescent. This program emphasizes the exploration of the established interests and abilities and, at the same time, seeks to develop new interests and reveal unique talents of the individual student. The learning activities are structured to progress at an increasingly mature level and to extend beyond the fundamental knowledge and skills developed in the elementary school. In addition, the school provides for the rapid, emotional, physiological, psychological and social changes common to the early adolescent. While the basic objectives remain constant the professional staff is continuously evaluating and improving the curriculum and the techniques of instruction. We wish to cite the following examples of progress in these 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 faci I ities. 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 Language Arts program for grades one through twelve. 10. The equivalent of two classrooms of language laboratory equipment was purchased with funds provided by the National Defense Educa- tion Act. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 271 11. Refined scheduling procedures have resulted in a greater flexibility to compensate for the variable learning patterns of the adolescent. 12. There was a notable increase in the number of teachers working as a "team." The cooperative approach pools specialized talent and training for more effective instruction. 13. The staff initiated an inservice training program featuring outside specialists. There are several basic factors which determine the direction and progress of any school; the leadership of the central administration, the support of the community through the school committee and the Parent Teachers Association, the quality and effectiveness of the staff, and a talented, receptive student body. William Diamond Junior Hioh School is fortunate to be influenced by more than its share of these elements. Respectfully submitted, JOHN M. HIBBARD, Principal 272 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF MUZZEY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 1. Rationale School programs, though very different, have one thing in common: to provide the kind and quality of education demanded by the community. A school program is made of many things. It includes a time schedule, a class schedule, a student body, a P.T.A., a faculty, a guidance program, a program of studies, a school building, etc. It is the job of the professional educator to combine these things with the materials provided by the community in such a way as to produce the best possible school program. The principal, therefore, with the help of the faculty and specialists, builds a school program, the rationale for which is based in the areas of philosophy, psychology, physiology and sociology. Those disciplines, other than community opinion, are the well- springs of good education. They provide the paths and the goals of school programs, but because they are growing fields of knowledge they can never provide ends. Therefore, school programs, built upon these disciplines, can never be static. We must be prepared to change the paths and goals of our educational pro - grams so that they will always be based upon the best of our increasing fund of knowledge. 2. Goals Philosophy— directs us to educate each child to the limit of his academic, social, physical and emotional potential in a way that will best meet his present and future needs. Psychology— directs us to create an environment that promotes self- respect, and respect for others. In addition, we encourage those attitudes which place a high value on individual initiative, responsibility, creativity and self- determination. Physiology— directs us to understand, recognize and meet those needs of children that orow out of the process of physical maturation. Sociology— directs us to be aware of the changes taking place in the social and technical aspects of our culture, and to meet the new needs of people which arise from these changes. 3. Let's examine some recent changes and improvements: Program of Studies— Increased instructional time in English, social studies, science and mathematics by about 130 hours per year. Time Schedule — Thirteen thirty- minute intervals a day provide class periods of thirty, sixty or ninety intervals where each may best be used. Class Schedule — Provides an individual program for each pupil in each basic subject, based upon learning levels. Library — Employed a full -time librarian. Added over four hundred books. Library class instruction extended to grade eight pupils. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 273 Reading — Elected a full -time reading teacher. Remedial reading classes and speed reading classes in full operation. Purchased reading accelerators. Mathematics —A study of programmed materials. English —Last summer's language arts workshop is continuing. Science —A new grade seven course outline is being followed. A laboratory classroom has been installed. French —The "Voix et Image" materials are being used to supplement our present course of study. Physical Education, This department has adopted its own report card to let parents see the year's program at a glance. Elementary School Cooperation —A regular visiting program for junior high school teachers is in effect. Grade Six Pupils —A new orientation for grade six pupils will allow them to spend a full day in ' Muzzey before June. 4. We cannot stand still. We must go forward. Our physical facilities are now being used to their maximum. We are hoping that our third floor will be renovated to allow us to use this much needed space. The Muzzey faculty is continuing to study new ways to organize curriculum, teaching materials and faculty time and skills to improve instruction. We believe the educational goals of our program are firmly based in the demands of the community and the knowledge of the aforementioned disciplines. We feel confident that the community will help Muzzey move toward a fuller realization of these goals. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES E. HOWARD, Principal 274 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF HANCOCK SCHOOL In this report, I shall attempt to outline the major activities in which the Hancock School's pupils, teachers, parents and principal have been engaged during the calendar year 1962. The Hancock Plan. Perhaps the most exciting occurrence of the year was the implementation of the first phases of the Hancock Plan. This flexible organizational structure gives us many additional opportunities for meeting the educational needs of children. Briefly, a description of the organizational features follow: a. Cooperating Divisions: There are three cooperating divisions which include pupils and teachers of the primary, intermediate and advanced programs (Mer- cury, Apollo and Gemini). b. Time Blocking: Parallel time blocking within each division to make possible a flow of pupils within each division. c. Core Area: Language arts- social studies* have been established as the core area for the plan. This will allow a long relationship with a single teacher. It is one of five parallel time blocks. d. Other Subject Areas: Parallel time blocking for art, mathematics *, music, science *, and physical education have also been established. We expect to have this plan fully operational by September of 1963, and to evaluate the effects of the plan for the 1962 -1963 and 1963 -1964 school years against achievement data gathered in previous years. Library: The Hancock School Library is now open each day from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. It is manned by a corps of volunteer parents. There are approximately thirteen - hundred volumes, plus a fair amount of reference materials. Our one -half assignment of a professional librarian gives us a bare minimum of library service. Redistricting. Pupils in the Peacock Farm - Concord Turnpike area have been assigned to the Adams School. The writer, working with the Adams principal, under the guidance of the superintendent of schools, made and implemented plans, following the approval of the school committee. It is the observation of the writer that the change was extremely smooth. Advanced Program. Two additional advanced program classes were assigned to the Hancock School, making a total of three now housed here. Their very presence has had a positive up- lifting effect on the remaining staff and pupils of the school. Class Size. Two classes, a first and a fourth, have reached the thirty -six, thirty -seven mark, which is more than desirable for a single teacher. If the incoming first grade runs over the thirty figure, it will be necessary to make provisions for an additional instructional area in the lunchroom area. * but not fully implemented. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 275 276 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Recommendations 1. That an additional staff member be assigned to Hancock in September of 1963, if Grade 1 enrollment exceeds thirty. 2. That additional instructional space be made available through partitioning in the lunchroom. 3. That additional time be allotted to the school for a librarian. Respectfully submitted, LESTER E. GOODR I DGE, JR. Principal REPORT OF THE PRINC'IPAL OF HARRINGTON SCHOOL During the past year at Harrington, the search for better ways of teaching has continued. Combining action research with consumer research, the staff has been able to provide more effective means of instruction, as well as make recommenda- tions for further action. Many excellent teaching units, lesson plans, skills kits and diagnostic materials, as well as flexible teaching methods, have been developed. All of these tools of teaching were developed, modified or explored for the express purpose of assisting the teacher to meet the school's prime purpose, "to give each child the opportunity to make optimum progress." 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 needed. Work toward this end in the present and future is our recommendation. Respectfully submitted, DONALD E. JOHNSON, Principal SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND SERVICES 277 278 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT The office of Instructional Materials and Services is responsible for the evalua- tion, procurement, distribution and assistance in making effective use of materials involved in the teaching - learning process, as well as for exerting leadership in the creation of new materials and techniques of instruction. While tradition has separated the services rendered to schools by librarians and audio - visual specialists, there is a growing recognition of many areas in which their services are parallel or overlapping. In the interest of more effective and more economical service we are attempting in Lexington to overcome this traditional concept, uniting library and audio - visual services to establish a true instructional materials center in each school. These centers will provide a wide range of educational media and assistance for both students and teachers. Books, periodicals, filmstrips, records, tapes, slides of various kinds, all these and more, plus personnel trained to promote their effective use, will all be a part of tomorrow's instructional materials centers. We are just now beginning to build this program and this concept in Lexington. We are just beginning to effect a wedding between "audio- visual" and "library" and as with most beginnings (and many weddings) there are problems to be solved and differences to be resolved. This report will be concerned with the progress and problems encountered in these areas, bearing always in mind that in future reports the line between "library" and "audio - visual" will become less and less distinct, with eventual blending into the total instructional materials concept. Library —As a part of the program of instructional materials and services, a system -wide coordinated school library service program is well underway. Secondary schools have had staffed central libraries for several years. However, only a little over a year ago personnel in several elementary schools were still groping with a change of philosophy from the classroom library to that of a central organized library for the school. In September of 1961, just two elementary schools had sizeable organized collections in a planned library room. Now, in each school there is a central resource area with a nucleus collection of classified and catalogued books, a shelf list and card catalogue for these, and the beginning of a circulation program. The coordinator of this aspect of the program, Miss Sara Jaffarian, reports that nearly 32,000 volumes are currently available in our school libraries. How- ever, this represents only 41/2 books per pupil, whereas minimum, national standards call for at least 10 books per pupil With the addition of Mrs. Margaret Riley as full -time librarian at Muzzey Junior High, all secondary schools now have full -time professional library service. Two librarians, Mrs. Ethel Heins and Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttle, were added in Septem- ber 1962 to service the nine elementary schools. With the invaluable assistance of dedicated P.T.A. volunteers and using commercial cataloging service, all schools now have central, organized, classified and catalogued collections of books. At the present time, however, the library professional staff ratio is 1 to 1,166 pupils. At the elementary level only, it is 1 to 2,000 pupils. American Library Associa- tion Standards recommend one librarian for every 300 pupils. Serious consideration must be given to future budgetary provisions, both for purchase of the books needed to come up to standards and for the personnel needed to classify, catalogue, place books on the shelves and service teachers and students using them. Audio-Visual — Audio - Visual service to students and teachers have grown rapidly in the last 5 years with a slight increase in time for audio - visual personnel to perform these services: In the elementary schools, audio- visual building coordin- ators are classroom teachers who have no released time for the scheduling and dis- tribution of equipment, for evaluation of materials or for working with other teach- ers to develop more effective ways of using audio - visual materials. This is all done in the hours before or after the school day. Five years ago, there were only 452 filmstrips in the entire elementary school program. Today there are probably more filmstrips than this in any one school's collection. Five years ago, elementary teachers used about 60 educational films in one year. With more effective distribution techniques, more classrooms, and more teachers trained to use films effectively, last year approximately 575 films were used in the elementary schools. Studies now being carried out indicate that there would be substantial long range savings in establishing and maintaining a library of those educational films most frequently used, rather than renting them. Cataloging and distribution of audio - visual materials as well as books will eventually be a function of the instructional materials center, but with a steady in- crease in the use of film, tape recordings, records, filmstrips, overhead projection, open circuit television (21" Classroom) and other teaching tools, the scheduling of audio - visual equipment, evaluation of audio- visual materials, and assistance in their effective use in the classroom will continue to pose problems for the building audio - visual coordinators which can only be solved, in the long run, by the alloca- tion of time for performance of these duties. At the secondary level, the appointment of a Secondary Audio - Visual Coordin- ator, Frank DiGiammarino, on a nearly full -time basis, has done much to implement the part -time work carried on by the teacher coordinators at each junior high. The secondary coordinator has organized and supervises the work of a student Graphics Art Club at the senior high school. These students produce visuals (charts, post- ers, overhead transparencies) tailored to the instructional needs of the teachers. All materials are classified and catalogued for easy reference by teachers and students. In the two junior highs, increased emphasis is placed on working with the teachers to develop more effective ways of using available instructional materials, and on central cataloguing of all instructional materials. At Diamond Junior High, a new language laboratory has been put into opera- tion. It is unique in that it is wireless, boothless, does not tie up a classroom solely SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 279 280 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT for language laboratory use, and serves nearly twice as many students as a con- ventional language laboratory, at considerably less expense. The equipment is ex- tremely portable and, at present, can be used in any of four classrooms at Diamond. With a substantial increase in the amount of tape recording, particularly by the Foreign Language department and by members of the Division of Pupil Per- sonnel Services, the tape duplicating facilities at the senior high are being taxed. A professional tape duplicating machine may be needed in the near future. Summary — Continued and increased service to Lexington's growing student body and teaching staff can be assured only through adequate annual budgetary provisions for personnel and materials. It is evident that at present we fall far short of national library standards and that the needs of teachers and students for audio- visual services cannot much longer be met in each building unless more time and more trained personnel are provided. Added to this is the very grave problem of finding adequate space for instructional materials centers, in the face of the current shortage of classroom space. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD G. WOODWARD REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES In July 1956 the present Director of Administrative Services assumed respon- sibilities in the central administrative staff of the Lexington Public Schools. Since that time there have been many changes and improvements in the Lexington school system, and in the responsibilities relating to management and operation. During the period from 1959 to the present many of the most significant of these changes have taken place. This report will not deal with all areas of responsibility of the Administrative Services division, but at this time will highlight only three separate operations. Accounting and Purchasing This section of the office of the Director of Administrative Services is responsi- ble for the accounting of all funds relating to materials, supplies and services, from crayons to paper, from books to soap, from ladders to light bulbs. It is significant to note the increases in transactions relating to this activity. 1959 1960 1961 1962 Number of bills processed 4224 5570 6210 7463 Number of orders processed 2839 3558 4374 4829 There has been a 70% increase in the amount of business transacted in this period of time. The purchase of an accounting machine in 1960, and the designing of a new purchase order form in 1961 were two significant changes responsible for the handling of this increased volume without additional personnel and without added expense to the town. Since 1960 the reporting made to the school committee and to the respective schools has been put on a monthly basis. The school committee receives a monthly report of all funds in the total school appropriation, accounting for them on an encumbrance basis. These reports show the actual cash balances available in each line item of the budgets, and the amount of money encumbered "purchase orders written but bills not yet rendered" so that a very accurate check is made on ex- penditures. Each principal receives a monthly statement showing the amount of money available to his building in the accounts over which he has some jurisdiction. School Plant and Maintenance An essential factor in efficient school administration is a well- organized and properly functioning service for the operation and maintenance of the school plant. There are two basic ingredients to this operation: Custodial services and main- tenance. Custodial services include those day -to -day activities which are necessary to keep the physical plant open and in clean usable condition. Maintenance con- SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 281 sists of those services, activities and procedures which are concerned with preserv- ing, protecting and keeping buildings, grounds and equipment in satisfactory state of repair. The public school plant, planned and financed through cooperative community efforts, represents a most substantial, as well as most important, community in- vestment. In Lexington these buildings amount to approximately $14,750,000. of replacement value. Good school plant management programs do not "just hap- pen". In Lexington they are well planned, manned by competent personnel, and operated and managed to serve the best interests of the total school system. The following general cost comparisons may be significant to indicate the school plant operation in Lexington. Custodial Service The activities of the Lexington custodial staff are numerous and varied, and no attempt will be made to enumerate all of them. Generally speaking, these men are responsible for the cleaning (scrubbing, mopping, sweeping, dusting, etc.) of all areas in a building. This involves 148 classrooms, approximately 8,000 desks, chairs and tables, 211 toilet and shower rooms, 118,297 square feet of stairways, corridors and lobbies, 123,975 square feet of gymnasium, auditoriums, cafeterias, and numerous storage areas, boiler rooms and service areas. How does this service compare with surveyed average expenditures? Leading authorities state and studies show, that the average expenditure for this type of service is around $.45 to $.50 per square foot. The Lexington standards, as seen by the general condition of the buildings, are much higher than those of most school systems. In 1962 the Lexington Public Schools expended $186,383.51 for custodial wages and supplies for 599,822 square feet of space. The Lexington expenditure was $.31 per square foot contrasted to the average of $.45 - $.50. This is a tribute to the staff responsible for these services, and to quality materials used in construction. The philosophy of the Standing School Building Committee to use materials which will not cause continuing high custodial or maintenance costs has resulted in very real savings to the Lexington taxpayer. Maintenance Banks estimate that 3% of replacement value of buildings should be expended for repairs and maintenance of plant. The average national school expenditure is slightly over 2 %. 282 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Authorities in the field of school plant maintenance state that an absolute min- imum of 1% of the current replacements costs should be spent for maintenance and repair (wages to own staff, materials and outside contract work). Some recom- mend a figure as high as 3%. The Lexington expenditures for 1962 are as follows: Replacement value Expended for wages, of buildings materials & contracts $14,750,000. Replacement value of buildings 1960 — $13,250,000. 1961 — 14,750,000. 1962 — 14,750.000. % expended of replacement value $90,041.39 6/10 of 1% Comparison for Past Three Years Expended for wages, materials & contracts $109,939.92 112,037.36 90,041.39 %expended of replacement value 8 /10 of 1% 7/10 of 1% 6/10 of 1% To make a further comparison, using the same percentage ratio of replacement value as $20,000. home owner would spend $120. annually for repairs. This would include money paid to contractors, a person's own "do-it-yourself" time for re- pairs, mowing the lawn and other chores that are familiar to everyone. Taking all this into account, most home owners would agree that they spend more money than this in the upkeep of their homes. This reduction in expenditures is the result of a dedicated staff, a sound pro- gram of preventative maintenance and wise choices in the construction features of school buildings. There are many other activities carried on by the Administrative Services Divi- sion with the same dedication. Some of these are in areas of payroll, transportation, school lunch, bidding and purchasing, budget preparation, financial analysis, pol- icies, and personnel relations. THE PRIME CONCERN OF THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF ADMINIS- TRATIVE SERVICES WILL CONTINUE TO BE TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES WHICH MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR CHILDREN TO BE EDUCATED IN THE MOST, EFFECTIVE, EFFICIENT AND ECONOMICAL MANNER. Respectfully submitted, IMITCHE'.LLJ. SPIRIS SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUPIL PERSONNEL SERVICES Introduction 283 ;284 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT As we look back on the first full fiscal year of operation of the Division of Pupil 'Personnel Services, I think we can say that it has been a very successful year. The accomplishments of the first year are far greater than I had anticipated. This is due primarily to the very effective groundwork that had been laid by the Lex- ington Public Schools and the community before the Division was placed in oper- ation. It is also due to the effective support the program has had from the ad- ministration, the principals and teachers of the schools, the students and the pa- rents. While few, if any, of the services offered by the Division were new this year, I have the feeling that they were rendered more effectively than they have been in the past, primarily because of the focus that was given to these services by the creation of this Division. Consider, for example, the case of Tom, a boy of elementary school age, whose bout with polio left him not only physically handicapped but behind in school and quite upset emotionally. His family moved to Lexington shortly before school opened in the Fall. His parents' first contact was with the principal of the school district into which they moved. The principal realizing that Tom's needs were somewhat special, referred him to the Division of Pupil Personnel Services. After preliminary interviews, it was determined that several kinds of special help would be needed if he were to make a satisfactory readjustment to school. A careful analysis would have to be made of his present level of academic development and achieve- ment as well as his learning ability. This called for the help of the school psychol- ogist. His parents would need help in understanding and accepting the problems that Tom would face in being readjusted to school and in adjusting their own feel- ings to his situation. This called for the help of a trained social worker or, in this case, the elementary school adjustment counselor. His teacher would need help in adapting the school program to his physical limitations and in understanding his special emotional needs. The services not only of her principal but also of the elementary guidance consultant and the school nurse would be helpful here. Tom would need some help with the development of his speech, which called for the services of the speech therapist. He would also need special help with reading; therefore the services of the reading specialist would be needed. It was fortunate for Tom that the help of all these specialists was immediately available. Time and energy were saved in his case because all of these services were coordinated through one central source — the office of the Division of Pupil Personnel Services. Similar examples could be cited at the junior high and the senior high school level. In all cases, the special services rendered were designed to enhance the value of the education program for the individual child concerned. In no case were the services rendered of a type that did not bear directly upon the individual student's improved adjustment to and performance in the instructional program. Staff Each of the specialists assigned to the Division of Pupil Personnel Services is an expert in his field of specialization. Each is very well- qualified professionally by virture of training and experience for the job he is assigned to do. Most of the members of the Division are in demand in other school systems and in other types of work, and we are, therefore, I feel, very fortunate to have them on our staff. For example, one of them was Coordinator of Guidance Services in public schools prior to coming to this area. In that position she directed the kinds of activities that she is now providing in Lexington. Another member of the staff was for several years the Director of the program in which she now serves for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A third member of the staff has completed two advance degrees in his field and is in demand in various parts of the country as a professor of coun- seling. Instead, he prefers to work in Lexington as a counselor. We have just cause, I feel, to be proud of these people and of Lexington for making their posi- tions here attractive enough to compete successfully for their services with other employers. It is significant to note that all members of the Division except one returned for the 1962 -63 school year. Most of the members of the Division were involved in one way or another with professional activities on a state and national level. A compilation of their attain- ments in terms of speeches given, articles written, etc., would be very impressive. They have done these things in addition to carrying heavy loads of responsibility here. The demand for their services has far exceeded their availability in most cases, yet in spite of their busy schedules and their heavy case loads, their work has been effective and helpful to teachers, principals, and parents, as well as to students. In the sections that follow, the activities of the various units within the Division are analyzed and specific data is included to illustrate the types of activities in which members of the staff have been engaged. School Counselors During 1961 the school counselors met several times for the purpose of deter- mining what their role should be. They were challenged to produce a statement of the school counselor's role that would be as close to the ideal as it could be and 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 copies of it were circulated to members of the administrative staff, including prin- cipals and assistant principals of the secondary schools. Their reactions were in- vited.. In general, they were favorable. However, a number of questions were raised and a number of changes made. It was revised and a copy was sent to each professional staff member in the secondary schools. Also, a meeting was held in each secondary school with the principal, the assistant principal, and the school counselors assigned to that building. As a result of these meetings and the rcomment made by their teachers, administrators, and others, the role description was revised and circulated again. It was officially adopted in May, 1962. Even though it is still far from perfect, it serves in its present form as the basis for SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 285. 286 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT the counseling program in each of the secondary schools. It is broad enough to allow flexibilty and to provide for the individual differences of the various coun- selors. There is nothing particularly unique or radical about it, yet it has attracted a good deal of attention outside of Lexington and even abroad. As a result, copies of it have been circulated rather widely. It is considered by some leaders in the field a significant contribution to the development of the school counseling pro- gram because it defines very clearly not only the tasks which counselors perform but those which are outside his professional role. One of the most significant ac- complishments of the Division so far has been the development of this role des - scription of the secondary school counselor. Many guidance activities in addition to counseling have been carried on by the counselors within the framework of this description. Yet it seems obvious that the individual counseling which has been done during 1962 far surpasses that done in any previous year, both in quan- tity and quality. In summary, it appears that there is a high degree of acceptance of the coun- seling program by students, teachers, administrators, and parents and that the counselors have had an opportunity to bring counseling theory and counseling practice into closer congruence than has heretofore been possible. However, it appears also that there is a need for more flexibility in meeting the needs of some students, particularly those who are not successful in the regular high school pro- gram. Counseling Consultants (School psychologists, school adjustment counselor and elementary guidance consultant) This area of operation was a relatively unknown quantity at the beginning of the 1961 -62 school year. However, there was a recognition of the need for the services of a school social worker and an additional school psychologist. We were fortunate in being able to employ exceptionally well - qualified people in these areas as well as the part -time assistance of an elementary guidance consultant. The big challenge for these people was to define their roles in such a way that their respective professional competencies would be fully utilized without too much overlapping or duplication of effort. In my opinion, they were able to accomplish this task very well and, in general, I feel that their services as a team during 1962 have been very effective. They received more than 200 referrals during the year. However, the real story of their service cannot be told in terms of numbers — it must be told in terms of individual students. Two illustrative case summaries follow. They are based on real, live pupils who live in Lexington. Of course, the details have been altered to protect the identity of the pupils involved. Summary #1 Sam was a bright but very aggressive and active sixth -grade boy who had moved to Lexington during the summer. His mischievous behavior soon became quite disruptive to the school program. Moreover, he had many "followers" and already was the leader of a group of boys in the neighborhood. Sam took full advantage of the relative amount of freedom that he enjoyed in his new school as compared to the one he had attended previously. His teachers and principal recognized that the usual methods of helping boys to conform to the demands of the school situation were ineffective in his case. They therefore referred him to the Division and one of the counseling consultants was assigned to work with him. Through effective counseling, both with him and members of his "gang ", he was able to adjust to the new school situation without creating any serious disturbances. Sam completed the year successfully and is now in the junior high school where he is much better prepared to adjust to the departmentalized program he has there. Summary #2 Bobby's teacher noticed, one morning, that he came to school sleepy, tired, and unkempt. He did not respond to her questions about the reason for this and she, therefore, referred him through her principal to the Division of Pupil Per- sonnel Services. The school adjustment counselor was called in to talk with Bobby after which she made a home visit and determined that Bobby had not been home the previous night but had spent the night out in the woods near his home. The home situation was such that Bobby was afraid to go home. His divorced mother had recently been remarried and he was afraid of his new stepfather. Needless to say, he was not a very fit candidate for instruction in his present con- dition and something had to be done to help him adjust to his new home environ- ment and understand his position in it before he could be expected to function very adequately in school. Several contacts with the parents and a referral to one of the social agencies in the community resulted in sufficient improvement in the situation so that Bobby was able to complete the year successfully. The varied professional backgrounds of members of the team of Counseling Consultants has been a real strength. One is trained as a school psychologist, another as a clinical psychologist, a third as a social worker, and the fourth as a school counselor at the elementary level. With this variety of professional back- ground and experience and with the differences of opinion regarding specific cases, each member of the team has been able to strengthen and supplement the opinions 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 well as in effective consultation services for individual teachers and principals. It has also resulted in some very productive group sessions with parents. Better utilization of other resources within the community has also resulted. These specialists have an over -view of the total educational program that has enabled them to select the best placement for a given pupil who has special edu- cational needs. The goal of providing an individualized educational experience for each student has been made much more feasible through the services of these specialists than heretofore. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 287 288 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Members of this team have been burdened with unreasonable case loads. This is due partly to the "open door" policy, namely that teachers and principals were urged to refer any and all children who seemed to be in need of special help. Yet the problem basically is that there is just more work to be done than can possibly be done by a team of this size. Closely related is the lack of time for effective preventive work with pupils and parents. Because of the great demand, most of the time and energy of these people has been devoted to doing remedial rather than preventive work. Speech Therapists Until the 1961 -62 school year, only one speech therapist was available in the entire school system. The case load for this one person was completely unrealistic. The addition of a second full -time speech therapist in September, 1961, helped considerably; however, the case load is still too high: 274 individual pupils re- ceived therapy during the 1961 -62 school year. It is still not possible for these two people to do as much as should be done, particularly in the area of a develop- mental speech program. Most of their time must, of necessity, be spent doing remedial work in order to meet the great demand for this type of service. In general, however, the program during 1962 was quite successful. Most, if not all, of the pupils in the school system who were in need of individual assist- ance in the area of speech or hearing therapy were identified through a process of screening tests and through referrals by teachers and principals. Individual diagnoses were performed in all cases where such a need was evident. Remedial speech and hearing therapy was provided, to the degree possible in view of the case load, to all students who had a need for it. Much of this was done on an individual basis and some with small groups of pupils. Consultation was carried on with teachers and principals regarding individual cases and regarding the gen- eral needs of children. Many children who needed individual counseling or play therapy in addition to remedial speech work were given such help as part of the remedial speech program. Effective reporting of results is still a problem. Special efforts have been made to improve upon the communication and reporting procedures. A good deal of progress in this regard was made during 1962. Individual speech therapy sessions are held only once a week. This is con- sidered by many specialists to be quite inadequate. Contact with the therapists two or three or even more times per week would be more effective. This, of course, would be impossible unless the number of therapists is increased so that the case load per therapist can be decreased considerably. Because of the demand for re- medial work, little if anything is accomplished by way of providing a developmental speech program. This too, is brought about by the great demand for the services of the two specialists available. Reading Specialists This is an area in which there are some basic differences of opinion. These differences became quite evident when three of our secondary reading teachers participated in a 1961 summer workshop. However, there is strength in diversity even in this situation, and in the long run the differences of opinion can be re- solved, at least on the working level, so that an effective remedial reading program can be provided in each of the secondary schools. The addition of a remedial reading teacher at the high school during the 1961 -62 school year was a big step forward and the assignment of this program to one full -time teacher at Muzzey Junior High School at the beginning of the 1962 -63 school year was also an im- provement. In general, the programs have been quite effective, but there is still much to be desired. At the elementary level, in some schools at least, an individual diagnosis of reading level and skills of each child has been accomplished. This has been very helpful to the teachers and the parents of these children. Very effective remedial reading work has been carried out with some children, either on an individual or small -group basis. Through consultation with teachers, a developmental reading program has been provided at the elementary level which has been very effective. This has included the provision of a good many reading skills materials to be used by teachers in their classrooms. The reading special- ists have coordinated their efforts with those of the counseling consultants at the elementary level and with the counselors at the secondary level, so that in most cases an effective team approach has resulted. There has not been sufficient time, however, to carry out an effective remedial reading program and a developmental reading program at the same time. At the elementary level the remedial aspect has been somewhat slighted and at the secondary level the developmental aspect has been secondary. To do both effec- tively would require a larger staff. At the elementary level; primarily, but also to some degree at the secondary level, there is some evidence to indicate that some of our pupils have "specific language disabilities," so- called. We are not, at the moment, providing any spe- cial program for these pupils. There is a definite need for some research in this area. A research project has been proposed that might provide us with some of the information we need. School Nurses The program of nursing service, health guidance, and health instruction pro- vided by our five nurses has been quite adequate during 1962. They have worked together very well and have coordinated their efforts with other members of the staff. A more effective Health Council has been in operation this year, consist- ing of the school nurses, the three school physicians, and the Director of the Division of Pupil Personnel Services. Also participating on occasion have been the public health officer, the dental hygienist, members of the custodial staff, and school lunch personnel. Also, a health committee within one of the schools has been in operation on an experimental basis and has contributed a good deal to the health program in that school. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 289 290 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT There are, of course, some unsolved problems. There is a need for more reg- ular, planned teacher -nurse conferences, particularly at the elementary level. There is also a need for more opportunity for the nurses to meet regularly with the various faculties of the schools they serve. The nurses feel that they should participate more in health education programs dealing particularly with such spe- cial problems as obesity, safety, information about health occupations, etc. There is also a need for more emphasis on health guidance. Special Education During 1962, much progress was made toward the goal of providing an ade- quate program for pupils who have various types of handicaps. One of the school psychologists was appointed to serve as Coordinator of Special Education. A special class for emotionally disturbed children was organized under the provisions of the Public Law 750 which provides State funds to pay half the cost of such a program. A screening committee for considering pupils for assignment to this class was established and considered the cases of some sixty pupils who were thought to be potential candidates. In addition to the six pupils who were finally assigned to the class, approximately fourteen others were approved by this committee and by the State Office for placement in special schools or classes elsewhere. At the junior high school level, some progress was made toward providing a more func- tional program for the educable children assigned to the special class at that level. While we are doing an adequate job of providing an educational program for most of the handicapped children in Lexington, this is an area of concern which calls for a good deal more study. In most cases it is felt that the needs of these students can best be met by keeping them in the regular educational program. There are, however, some students whose handicaps are such that they require placement in a special class. Sometimes this placement is for the dura- tion of their school experience and in other cases it is only temporary. Sometimes the transition from special class to regular class is quite easily made; olher tirnes it is much more difficult. Consideration should be given, I feel, to establishing a center in one of our elementary schools for the special classes of various types. For example, a special wing might be constructed as an addition to the Estabrook School which could contain facilities for all of the special classes. It would also include such special equipment as might- be needed. Such a facility with such special equipment would make it possible for us to integrate the program of special education into the regular program in a school where the (great majority of children would be typical rather than atypical. This would facilitate the coor- dination of the special education program with the regular program and would make it possible to provide an integrated program for a given child, part of which might be in the special classes and part of which might be in the regular classes. It would also facilitate the transition of a given child from the special to the reg- ular program. Further, it would make it possible to utilize the services of the special education teachers and other specialists more effectively. In a sense, they would operate as a team and would supplement each other rather than Lein_. completely isolated from each other as they presently are. It would also make possible the provision of such clerical and other assistance as they need, 'cut which cannot be effectively provided under the present arrangement. It might be added that the need for such an integrated program of services for children requiring special education is increased at the moment by the totally inadequate facilities in which some of our special classes meet. Assuming that the community does nct intend for this condition to continue indefinitely, it seems reasonable to consider the possibility of such a special wing. Summary We are well aware of the fact that bringing about positive changes in an educa- tional program is a slow, laborious process. We are definitely not discouraged over the progress made, however, during 1962. In general, we feel that there has been very significant progress and that many worthwhile objectives have been achieved. We are particularly pleased when we think of the Toms, the Sams, the Bobbys, and the other pupils for whom the educational program has been made meaning- ful and more satisfying through the efforts of members of this Division. We are also pleased when we think of the teachers whose instructional efforts have been more effective because of the availability of consultants and specialists who could not only help them with their work, but who could relieve them of some of the tensions of dealing with perplexing problems of individual students. These feel- ings of satisfaction do not overshadow, however, the fact that there is yet much to be done and many problems to be solved. We face the year 1963 with enthu- siasm and with the assurance that the superintendent, members of the school committee, and the public at large in Lexington recognize the importance of the Pupil Personnel Services as well as of instructional and administrative services in our schools. Respectfully submitted, HENRY L. ISAKSEN SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 291 REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF THE SCHOOL FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM The State Department of Education sets the regulations governing our three programs, namely (1) Adequate Lunch, (2) Special Milk, (3) Commodity Distribu- tion, in accordance with the National and State agreements which were renewed in June as approved by the School Committee. Factors helping to hold the 25c "A" Lunch price to all boys and girls are: better equipment, new techniques with stepped -up staff efficiencies, improved business practices, and volume participation. Increased participation is due to larger enrollment, more pupil interest, and nutrition publicity that emphasizes how school lunch helps to furnish the foundation for physical fitness programs. Pupil lunch participation exceeds two - thirds of our daily school attendance. Presently 4,044 eat daily, besides 230 teachers. The total milk in the Lunch and Special Milk programs has increased to over 8,000 one -half pint cartons per day. This past year's milk consumption, exclusive of the Summer Program, ex- ceeds by 289,892 the million mark, while lunches eaten by children exceed by 150,617 the half million mark. Adequate Lunch Year Pupil Teacher Total 1961 530,040 34,454 564,494 1962 610,119 40,498 650,617 Special Milk Year Pupil Teacher Total 1961 603,409 20,553 623,962 1962 657,596 22,177 679,773 Pre -First Grade Summer School 18,102 Dual and Triple Type "A" Menus The three secondary schools continue offering a second main dish. In Septem- ber to cope with the accelerated program, we initiated a third packed lunch at Senior High to expedite serving as well as to relieve pupils waiting in line. Present storage accommodates packing 150 complete lunches daily. These packed lunches have helped to stimulate pupil participation, resulting in an 8% rise in consumption. Bread Project Six bread varieties baked at William Diamond Junior High total 11,676 loaves and 236 dozen miscellaneous type rolls. The purchase of a bread slicer from school lunch funds this fall simplifies the packaging. Bake space is the main prob- lem to supply more than 500 loaves per week. Home Economics Commodities The State Department of Education continued the availability of donated United States Department of Agriculture foods for home economics classes. Orders 292 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT filled each month by the individual school food service managers at Senior and Junior High schools show in pounds: 319 butter, 475 flour, 15 cornmeal, 63 dried milk, 9 dried eggs, 2 rice, 2 lard, and 27 cheese. These foods cost the school department $13.22, which is a $273.79 saving as compared to the actual value determined by the State Department. Besides commodities aiding the Home Economics budget, our teachers report that educationally more emphasis has been placed on the nutritional value of using dairy products in menu preparation; butter has helped pupils appreciate that quality improves flavors. More correlation using the school lunch programs as a classroom could help to teach children the values and functions of the school food service as part of the total school health program. An average of 45 boys and girls assist in some capacity in our school dining areas and kitchens. Personnel Presently 56 of the 72 women staffing our programs work regularly. More regulars have left our employ; one moved out of the State, one accepted a clerical aide position; four other type work, four due to health reasons, one obtained a local restaurant job, and one bought her own food concession. Much credit is due to all employees in helping train newcomers. The monthly meetings are invaluable along with time and motion studies and scheduled work- shops and demonstrations. At the Spring State Workshop in Boston four of our staff demonstrated unique short cuts and new recipes tested in our kitchens. Our colored slides shown emphasized training on the job and decor used in our schools. Outstanding personnel performance continues as: 1. The Diamond Junior High Supervising Manager attending the Uni- versity of Massachusetts Summer Workshop and sharing new man - agement ideas at staff meetings. 2. Increased memberships and participation in the Massachusetts School Food Service Association. 3. Contributing to issues of the Association's only professional maga- zine, "Full Measure." 4. Attending District meetings and conventions as well as local activities. 5. Recruiting genuinely interested women. 6. Creating new decorations for our boys and girls. 7. Improving food preparation methods. 8. Elementary employees assisting at the secondary schools. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 9. Implementing ways to interest boys and girls; serving their planned meal and displaying their posters or decor. 10. Encouraging children to taste new foods. 11. Supporting and cooperating with school activities and civic organ- izations. 12. Assisting with new handbooks, staff scheduling and supervision. 13. Beyond the call of duty, doubling work schedules when substitutes are unavai fable. 14. Rendering special services to individual pupils wherein there is a need. 15. Inviting teachers to allow pupils to use the large cafeterias for their own art displays. 16. Merchandising the first Massachusetts School Lunch Week in Jan - uary proclaimed by Governor John A. Volpe, and reemphasizing the second School Lunch Week with the First National School Lunch Week in October declared by President John F. Kennedy. 17. All schools using our first text, "The School Lunch" by Marion L. Cronan for professional advancement. 293 Special Events More than 20 activities, exclusive of Operation Bootstrap luncheons: have been effectively served by School Food personnel. Outstanding are the Fathers' Breakfast at Estabrook, luncheons for the Parent Teachers Associations, the March Institute, the annual industrial exhibits, the Massachusetts Secretarial Association, Audio - Visual Association, Toreadors and the Chamber of Commerce. Meals for the Leadership Workshop, the Strawberry Festival, and numerous civic organizations were prepared, besides supervision at independent caterers' affairs. A Swedish Smorgasbord for the Massachusetts School Food Service Association excelled all Association District activities. Accounting Bookkeeping — Purchasing Excluisve of the Summer Milk Program 7,465 individual bills representing 41 bill schedules have been processed by one efficient part -time secretary who checks these bills against invoices for payment. She maintains all financial records with trial balances and reconciliations for each school, prepares bi- monthly payrolls, types consolidated State reports, annual, fiscal and other periodic ones besides Rules and Regulations, Policies and Procedures, Revised Wage Classification Systems, manuals, bulletins, notices and miscellaneous data. She converts and revises office files currently and assists the Coordinator in varied research data. The new electric Standard duplicator expedites all required releases for the expanding business. For uniformity constant revision of forms with accumulative 294 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT work sheets and standard daily practices, with a written office agenda, has aided the coefficiency of compilation of detailed reports for each school, and made possible extending the coded file system into each food service operation. Daily and weekly consolidated food orders, based on summer quotations, com- petitive bids and current prices are placed with various purveyors by the Senior High Supervisor. Each building Manager assists with initial requisitions to minimize waste after checking inventories, pupil and teacher lunch count, and miscellaneous daily counter records.

Financially our program this year shows an operational balance adequate to cover one -half month as against State recommendations that working assets amount to at least a six -week period. Net operating assets show near $6,000.00 more than a year ago. The State Office recommendation as to operation percentages deviates slightly due to new equipment and replacement purchases. Continued volume purchasing and competitive bidding keeps the food expenditures at a minimum. Labor is slightly above minimum. Increased sales offset wage increments. One -half of one percent more was spent for new equipment to complete the kitchen renovation at Adams to purchase a freezer, a food disposal and miscellaneous items. Other equipment expenses cover rinse -dri dish machine units for four schools, pull -out shelves with pans for Estabrook's steamer, one mobile rack at Fiske, a tray caddy and a counter food protector case at Hastings, besides a bread slicer.

Repair and replacement expenses have been decreased by our local maintenance staff constructing shelves, aiding productivity, storing of parts kits from the School Lunch Office for crnergency usage, or by making old desks into mobile units. This local assistance along with contracts plus miscellaneous inspections for periodic checks has kept repairs and replacements at a minimum. The Board of Health Executive Director, making periodic inspections and dish cultures, has assured us that we maintain high sanitation practices in all food programs. Summary State -wide pupil lunch participation averages 61.79 %, while 62.89% repre- sents Middlesex County average, in comparison to 66.8% Lexington's yearly mean. At this writing cur average is 67.8 %. Pupils 60% Special Milk partici- pation is under the 92.82% State -wide figure and 92.96% County average. These state averages, however, include non -food service schools wherein milk is served twice daily. It is a proven act, as expressed by the Franklin School Health Committee, that "pupils who have experiences in connection with School Lunch learn, act and eat better." Pupils' art work pcsted in the community or in the cafeterias, as "School Lunch Serves Good Health" during School Lunch Week, actively in- fluenced others. The expanding program challenges ingenuity as to economy to improvise or buy new equipment, to effectively staff and train employees and maintain uniformity of practices and procedures in all areas. It is inevitable that more clerical assistance with housing is needed with future staff increases, new cafeterias or if carry-out units are initiated. Public relation progress is indubitable as displayed in our scrapbook, the State Department of Education monthly publications, the Massachusetts School Food Service Association quarterly newsletters, the National School Lunch Journal, and continued requests throughout the nation for copies of policies, handbook or forms. At the college level teachers, with their food major students, are using our program as a basis to supplement instruction. The reopening of Adams cafeteria alleviates in part freezer space at the elementary level. Muzzey Junior and Senior High Schools need refrigeration for all frosted foods. In emergencies, McArdle and Mottla, Incorporated share their facilities. The rew Hobart dish machine installed at Fiske by the town should perform through 1982. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 297 The financial statement, with gratis lunches, commodities, and Matching Funds, shows some forty -eight thousand dollars more income above last year's figure, exceeding one -third of a million dollar business. More pupil interest, continued principal, teacher and custodial support with devoted employees helping to make the food service a learning experience adds much to the success of our school nutrition program.
