REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN To the Citizens of Lexington: December 31, 1961 39 Your Board of Selectmen has continued trying during the past year to maintain and improve town services without substantial increase in the tax rate. However, despite an increase in the tax base, the cost of these services has exceeded the new revenue. Continued pressure for zoning changes from residential to commercial and industrial uses may in the future provide tax revenue beyond the demand for serv- ices. This could be true of school requirements, especially since in 1961 over 50% of the tax dollar was spent for education. During 1961, a forty acre parcel at the junction of Route 2A and 128 was zoned for industrial use. Another proposal for rezoning at Route 128 and Spring Street was turned down by Town Meeting. Other areas between Route 128 and Hanscom Field are under study by the Planning Board to present an integrated plan for rezoning. Responsible companies, including Kennicott Copper, Itek, and Systems Development have continued to show interest in the construction of re- search facilities in Lexington. Town Meeting action would indicate that voting members choose to proceed carefully in matters of zoning and to maintain the residential character of the town. The revaluation voted by the Town Meeting in March is well under way. The Assessors assure us that it will be completed in time to be used in preparing the 1962 tax bills. In October of 1961, the Board of Selectmen employed an Executive Assistant to provide for better administration of its increasing duties. The assistant, avail- able on a full -time basis, will provide liaison between departments, relieve the Selectmen of time - consuming details, and provide background information on new problems presented. Such assistance is essential to the efficient, effective work of the Selectmen and should serve also to encourage the interested, but busy, citizen to serve on the Board. To attract new employees, to retain our many excellent employees, to compete even in a slight degree with business opportunities available, a sound personnel policy and salary schedule is a necessity. During the past year, salaries were in- creased, a vacation and sick leave policy was adopted that granted more liberal benefits, and insurance privileges have been increased. As living costs increase it is becoming more difficult to find employees who can afford to live within the town. It is anticipated that these matters will be of continuing importance in 1962. The business machines, the purchase of which was authorized at the Annual Town Meeting, are to be installed early in 1962. It is hoped that these machines will not only facilitate work but also defer increasing the staff. An addition to the main office building will probably be needed in the near future. 40 BOARD OF SELECTMEN Lexington has joined the Massachusetts League of Cities and Towns, a new organization rapidly gaining in stature. The League is interested in home rule, in opposing legislation introduced on Beacon Hill which may take away town powers (such as setting minimum wages for certain employees) and in supporting bills to give towns more freedom of action. Lexington has filed one such bill, to permit us to negotiate with subdividers in the matter of roads. Several years of negotiation with the United States Air Force has resulted in the execution of a contract on November 15, 1961 whereby the Town has agreed to supply water to Hanscom Field. To meet these requirements, the Air Force has agreed to pay a substantial share of the cost of extension and enlarge- ment of the town's water system. These new facilities include a 24" main from Concord Avenue to the Lexington standpipes and participation in the Metro- politan District Commission's main from Arlington to Waltham Street. Although Lexington has supplied water to Hanscom Field for over ten years, the need for a new contract and new facilities was dictated by increased Air Force requirements. The Board is very grateful to the Town Counsel and Superintendent of Public Works for bringing these negotiations to a successful conclusion. There has been a constant demand for more parking facilities in the center. Space for 129 cars was provided in the new area off Meriam Street which can be doubled whenever construction funds are voted. Access from Station Way will be constructed in 1962 with funds voted in November Installation of meters in the two lots directly behind the stores was delayed pending completion of the Meriam Street parking lot at the request of the merchants and others who promised to observe the present two -hour parking regulation. The result has not been 100% satisfactory. With the increase of building and business in the C1 areas — the so- called "neighborhood shopping" centers — a new parking problem has arisen which is not easily solved. Curbstones and bumpers have been installed, and white lines painted in an attempt to give the pedestrians some measure of safety. The November Town Meeting showed that Lexington was not willing to in- crease its expenditures for Civil Defense. However, the Civil Defense Department has continued to develop its organization and its plans for the safety of its citizens in the event of enemy attack. Following a comprehensive survey by Fay, Spofford & Thorndike, Inc. of re- fuse disposal, the Selectmen recommended to the Town Meeting — and it was so voted — the acquisition of two areas of land in the so- called Meagherville dis- trict. Much of this area is tax title land and in its present condition unsuitable for building. The 115 acres will provide sufficient areas for sanitary land fill for the next thirty years or more, and will be ready for operation when the present dump area is exhausted. The Board of Selectmen is the Board of Public Works. We refer you to the report of the Superintendent of Public Works (listed in the index of contents un- der Public Services) for a complete report on sewers, streets, water services, drain- age, garbage collection, parks, etc. BOARD OF SELECTMEN 41 Contracts were let by the Board of Selectmen for the trunk sewer from Justin Street to Hawthorne Road, the water main from Concord Avenue to the standpipe, sewer laterals, and street construction totaling $1,321,198.00. Bids were received in December for the construction of Worthen Road between Massachusetts Avenue and Waltham Street and the contract will be awarded early in January. Without the loyal co- operation of our department heads and their staffs, this town could not function in the admirable fashion it does. We wish to express our appreciation to them. Respectfully submitted, RUTH MOREY, Chairman ALAN G. ADAMS GARDNER C. FERGUSON NORMAN J. RICHARDS LINCOLN P. COLE, JR.

Notable among the permits issued was one for a research Systems Development Corp., which is now under construction on Commercial additions and alterations amounted to almost four dollars, most of this taking place in our center business area. There were ten house movings and double the usual number of demolitions, this as a result of Route 128 widening. $4,276,553.00 previous year, as per dwelling unit building for the Hartwell Avenue. hundred thousand 130 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY The initial portion of the Sign By-Law adopted in 1958 went into effect July of this year, and with it came additional work for this department. I would expect the sign problem to be a rather long drawn out one in that the law is new and a great many of the problems have accumulated over the years. There were fifty -three zoning complaints that required investigation, two of which ended in court action. This year at least 40% of the Department's time was spent on zoning prob- lems, and the administration of the new Sign By -Law. More and more of the Department's time is having to be spent each year on other duties than building activities. It seems apparent that with the greater number of commercial buildings, the increasing zoning problems, and the new Sign By -Law, additional personnel, at least part time, is going to be necessary if a thorough and adequate job is to be accomplished in the above categories. The Building Department wishes to thank all the Department and Officials for their assistance during the past year. Respectfully submitted, DONALD K. IRWIN, Building Inspector PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY 131 REPORT OF THE WIRE INSPECTOR To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: December 31, 1961 I hereby submit my report as Wire 'Inspector for the year 1961 for electrical work installed in the Town of Lexington.

On the average of once every two weeks a preliminary or a definitive subdivision plan is submitted to the Planning Board for approval. New subdivisions approved by the Board during 1961 added 169 lots for single family residential use and a total of 17,646 linear feet of roadway to the town's street system. In addition 32 lots for single family residential use were created on existing ways. The 201 lots created represent a ten percent increase over those added to the town last year. Site and building plans were also approved for the garden apartment districts situated on Waltham and ,Maple Streets. In the first instance a total of 98 apartments are scheduled to be constructed; in the second case, 136 apartments. In summary, provision for 435 dwelling units in Lexington were made by the Planning Board in 1961. During the past year also the following parcels of land were acquired by the Town for the location of future streets or for playground and recreational purposes. 1. A parcel of land about 2.48 acres in area, abutting the town -owned land on Whipple Hill, the parcel— representing the highest point on Whipple Hill —to be added to and become part of the so- called Whipple Hill recreational area. 2. A parcel of land, eight acres in area, abutting the Harrington school, the parcel to be used for playground and recreational purposes. 3. Lot 15, 'Block 13 in the 'Meagherville subdivision, so- called, the lot measuring 25 feet by 100 feet to be added to other town -owned land for future playground and recreational use. 4. Lot B, Middleby Road, containing 1.15 acres, to be added to town - owned land to provide a means of access from said land to be used for playground and recreational purposes. 5. An exchange of seven parcels comprising about 8.29 acres of land between the town of Lexington and the Hayden Recreation Centre, Inc., part of said land having been previously granted to the Centre by the Town. The exchange provided for a location for a portion of Worthen Road, a relocation of a portion of Lincoln Street, and an access between the central playground land and that of the town -owned land presently used as a dump. The exchange also locates and consolidates the Hayden Centre land on one side of Worthen Road and central playground land on the other. In the exchange the Centre conveyed to the Town about 5.52 acres of land for 2.77 acres received from Lexington. Summarizing the above information, Lexington acquired during 1961 ap- proximately 18.35 acres of additional land for street, playground and recreational purposes. 136 PLANNING AND RECREATION In addition to these acquisitions there was granted to the town easements for public travel and other purposes in two parcels of land situated on Eldred Street. These easements were obtained for a future street to be located between Grove and Bedford Streets. The Planning Board held seven public hearings during 1961 on proposed amendments to the Lexington Zoning 'By -law. Of these amendments, the following were acted upon favorably at the Annual Town Meeting: 1. At the request of the Board of Appeals it was voted under Article 48 to amend Section 14 of the Zoning 'By -law to increase the number of associate members of the Board from five to six. 2. Upon recommendation of the Planning Board it was voted under Article 49 to modify the Waltham Street garden apartment district by limiting said district to the southwesterly side of Worthen Road. 3. Upon recommendation of the Planning Board also it was voted under Article 51 to amend Section 8 (g) of the Zoning By -law by increasing the minimum parking requirements in local business districts in order to correct in part the present critical situation in these districts. At the Special Town Meeting held in November the following amendments to the Zoning By -law were also acted upon favorably: 1. Upon recommendation of the Planning Board it was voted under Article 11 to add to Lexington's special commercial district by re- zoning from single family residential use about 43 acres of land situated on the southwesterly side of Marrett Road and the north- westerly side of State Route 128. 2. At the suggestion of the Building Inspector it was voted under Article 12 to permit the construction of underground fallout or blast shelters within required yard areas as set forth in Section 8 (g) of said By -law. The major project the Planning Board has been concerned with during this past year has been that of preparing a development and rezoning plan for a large portion of the area from Route 128 to the Bedford town line and from a line northeasterly of Wood street and Bates Road to Bedford Street. A preliminary subdivision plan for this area has been designed using standards formulated in the Board's zoning study of the area. A cost and revenue analysis based on this study has been made. From a text prepared by the Planning Board, legal counsel is revising a draft of a proposed revision to Lexington's zoning by -law. If adopted, the Board believes the amendment will constitute an important step forward in improving this town's economic base. As soon as the proposed amendment is ready in its entirety the Board plans to publish it and hold public meetings to discuss it. One matter of great concern to the Board is that of its work load. For years the administrative and planning activities of the Board have been increasing in greater volume than it has been possible to manage. These are two categories of work to be undertaken requiring two full time positions in addition to secretarial and drafting assistance. A planning director, for instance, if he is to be in fact directing the planning of this town, cannot be doing so if he has to act PLANNING AND RECREATION 137 138 PLANNING AND RECREATION also as an executive clerk or secretary, draftsman, and /or administrator. To help relieve this situation the Planning Board asked last year for funds to provide for a full -time secretary for the Board and a full -time planning assistant. The Board's request for full -time secretarial assistance was granted. In eight months much has been done to relieve the back -log of clerical work and keep current work up -to -date. In this regard the Board is very pleased with the situation. However, the Planning Board's request for a full -time planning assistant was not granted by the Appropriations Committee and the Board of Selectmen for the reason that it- was not desired to create a new full -time position. Instead, the sum of money requested for personal services for an assistant was placed in the Planning Board's general expenses account for hiring temporary help and con- sultants. The Board was unable to find qualified personnel on a part -time temporary basis. Funds for the employment of consultants (to do the work which could be done by a regular assistant) only last several weeks at the current professional consultant's rate. As a result there could not be accomplished many of the projects with which the 'Planning Board is confronted. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR E. IBRYSON THOMAS S. GRINIDLE, Vice Chairman IRVING H. MABEE ROBERT E. MEYER, Clerk RICHARD H. SOULE, Chairman REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE To the Honorable Board of Selectmen December 31, 1961 Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: We respectfully submit the following report covering the activities of the Recreation Committee for the year 1961. During the year, the Committee met fifteen times and went on three field trips. Joint meetings were also held with the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee, the Appropriation Committee and the Planning Board. In their deliberations, the members of the Committee considered: (1) future planning; (2) immediate requirements for expansion and improvement of both facilities and program; and (3) conducting the recreational program under the supervision of the Recreation Director. Planning for the near future has been centered mainly on the Worthen Road project. This project involves the re- location of some recreation -area facilities on Center Playground which are sorely needed. Plans for their replacement are under development. For the distant future, the Committee was primarily concerned about the acquisition of land in various sections of the town to provide adequate space for the development of the facilities that will be needed in the recreational plans that are projected many years ahead. In this connection, the Committee has recommended several areas for addition to the town's recreational land reserve. The feature development that resulted from a study of immediate require- ments was the opening of Harrington as the fifth supervised playground in the summer recreational program. This decision was very well received by the towns- people and was effectively supported by an attendance of 2,317 at Harrington. Another popular addition was the Ladies' Gym Class held from January to April of last year. A Men's Gym Class was also established to replace Community Basketball, which was incorporated in the greater offerings of the men's program. The tennis practice wall, levelled by hurricane winds, was rebuilt and relocated for the greater convenience of tennis players. Baseball areas were improved at Hastings, Franklin, Harrington, East playground, Fiske and 'Center playground. A set of new portable stands were erected near the junior baseball field at Park Drive and Lincoln Street. Permanent outfield fence has been installed on the junior baseball diamond near the enclosed field. Efficient use of our available facilities has met adequately the growth of junior baseball in this town. But continued expansion of junior and senior baseball over the next few years will pose a problem unless more baseball areas become available. Through our ice development program, we have attempted to keep abreast of current requirements of the skating public. Partitions and ice patrolling have to a very great extent separated hockey playing from skating areas —to parents' delight. Most of the surface on Kinneen's play area was levelled to make it possible to develop and maintain ice as uniformly and effectively as possible. The Reservoir skating area has been further improved and a sizable parking area was cleared near the Reservoir for the convenience of the skaters and also to reduce the street parking hazards. Attendance A. The following table compares the average attendance on Lexington's playgrounds over the two five years periods prior to 1961 to last summer's record attend- ance. Average Attendance Attendance (1951 -55) (1956 -60) (1961) Playgrounds 7,694 9,900 13,704 Arts & Crafts 2,629 3,867 6,021 Swimming Pool 16,021 20,354 21,689 The highest attendance at the swimming pool (23,094) was recorded in the summer of 1957 when not a single day was lost through inclement- weather and temperatures were most favorable for a pool program. Previous highs in play- ground attendance (10,418) and Arts & Crafts (4,912) were both recorded in the summer of 1960. The record attendance figures of 1961 were registered as follows: Sports and games: Center (4,299) -31 %; East (3,013)-22%; Harrington (2,317)-17%; North (2,253) -16 %; Hastings (1,892) -14 %; Arts & Crafts: Center (1,763)- 29 %; North (1,492)-25%; East (1,168)-19%; Hastings (825)-14%; Har- rington (773)-13%.

Meetings In June, 1961 the Board voted to change the time of meeting from every third Friday afternoon to every fourth Thursday evening at 7:30 P.M. During the year 1961 eleven regular meetings and two special meetings were held. Licenses The Board granted licenses and permits as follows: Animal Permits (including poultry) 51 Child Care Centers 18 Funeral Directors 6 Garbage Disposal 9 Methyl Alcohol 14 Milk License —Store 31 Milk License— Vehicle 22 'Nursing Homes 4 Oleomargrine Registrations 18 Poultry Slaughter House License 1 Rubbish Disposal 12 Sewage Disposal 9 146 PUBLIC SERVICES 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 344 Diphtheria (Avirulent) 6 Dog Bites 129 Dysentery—Bacillary 9 German !Measles 21 Hepatitus Infectious 2 Measles 68 Mumps 32 Salmonella 8 Scarlet Fever 22 Streptococcal Sore Throat 477 Tuberculosis 2 Several cases of Diphtheria - Avirulent (not contagious) was reported for the first time in many years. As noted there were no cases of Poliomeyitis in 1961 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 1,082 house visits on behalf of the Health Department. These calls are broken down as follows: Communicable Diseases 623 Tuberculosis 108 Health Supervision — Infants Under 1 Year 70 Pre - School Children 262 School Children 19 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 33 premature infants births reported to the Health Department in 1961. 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 $300.00 was paid this year for premature infants. PUBLIC SERVICES 147 Rabies Clinic The annual Rabies Clinic was held in May and of the 2,105 dogs licensed in Lexington for 1961 only 850 dogs were brought to the clinic for innoculation. 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. Glaucoma Clink 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 1961. All patients were notified of the results of the screening and patients with any abnormalities were recommended to consult their private physicians for further treatment. Of the 257 people screened 10 were referred for further treatment. Influenza Clinic Due to the increased reports of Influenza across the country the Health De- partment conducted an Influenza Clinic for Town Employees and School Personnel in December of 1961. A second innoculation will be given in approximately one month's time. Dental Clinic The successful operation of the Dental Clinic continues under the efficient management of Mrs. Frances Porter, Dental Hygienist. In June of 1961 Dr. John Reichheld submitted his resignation as Clinic dentist. The Board appointed Dr. A. Peter Manickas of Lexington to fill this vacancy. The Clinic did not operate during the Month of September and the schedule was interrupted briefly during December when the Clinic was moved from Muzzey Junior High School to Harrington School. The new location provides a much more pleasant and healthful atmosphere for the children attending the clinic. In the past year the clinic applications have been restricted primarily to ele- mentary pupils which has made it possible to institute a six -month recall system. Clinic records prove the recall system is a most satisfactory way to find and correct dental defects before they become extensive. The work of the Dental Clinic does not concern itself with clinic work alone, the educational program conducted by the Hygienist in the elementary grades is proving to be of great value in the early training of the care and cleanliness of the teeth. A motion picture was shown to grades 1 and 2 stressing Dental Health. Film- strips are available for loan to all elementary classroom teachers. Posters were distributed to all elementary classrooms in observance of National Children Dental Health Week in February. In the school year ending last June 54% of all elementary school pupils sub- mitted a dental certificate. There were 2 classrooms in which every child submitted a certificate. 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. 148 PUBLIC SERVICES Report of the Dental Hygienist School dental screening examinations were conducted in all elementary schools. There were 3,651 children examined and 521 defect notices given. Those pupils who were having dental treatment at the time of the examination were not issued notices. The dental health program for the past year included: Classroom Talks (Grades 1 -4) School Visits Conferences Oral Prophylaxis 159 169 31 10 Operative Report of the Dental Clinic School Patients Fillings -607 Extractions -85 Cleaning Treatment Elementary .... 132 Junior High ... 15 Dec. 267 Perm. 220 120 Dec. 69 Perm. 8 8 5 42 6 9 TOTALS ... 147 267 340 69 16 11 51 Clinic Days (A.M. only) 122 Appointments 552 X -Rays 30 Dismissals (completed) 180 Emergency Treatments 24 Posture Clinic From January 1st through December 31st, 1961, 740 children with "C" and "D" posture were enrolled in the corrective classes of the Lexington Posture Clinic. The children in need of corrective posture classes are determined through the use of the Silhouetteograph camera, and pictures were taken during September and October of all children in grades III, V and VI of the elementary schools, with a total of 1,721 pictures. Because of the ever increasing enrollment and the varied scheduling of the Junior Highs, pictures were not taken in the 7th grades this year. During the school year corrective classes were conducted once each week at the Adams, Franklin, Hancock, Harrington, Munroe and Parker Schools. Two weekly classes have been held at the Fiske, Maria Hastings, Estabrook and Muzzey Junior High (first half of the year for the latter) to accommodate larger enrollments or to meet special conditions. Two medical clinics were held for special orthopedic examination and recom- mendations. These clinics were conducted by Dr. Gardner F. Fay, orthopedic surgeon of Boston and Concord, on February 11th and May 20, 1961, under the competent direction of the Lexington Posture Committee. Special recommendations were made at these clinics to the parents of 43 children, for treatment beyond the scope of the posture class. PUBLIC SERVICES 149 The majority of the children attending the clinics have been accompanied by their parents who have had the opportunity for direct consultation with Dr. Fay. Par- ents generally have been prompt in their cooperation with recommendations made. The Lexington Council of P.T.A. sponsors the Posture Clinic and provides all the volunteers to staff the Committee, who send out notices to parents of Clinic dates, provide transportation and supervision, prepare budgets and policies, and act as representatives in each P.T.A. unit.

Respectfully submitted, RUFUS L. McQUILLAN, Chairman 150 PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE HEALTH OFFICER December 31, 1961 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The following is the report of the Executive Health Officer for the year 1961. Laboratory The Health Department laboratory is equipped to perform analysis of milk, water and restaurant swabs on eating and drinking utensils. A certificate of Ap- proval for the laboratory has been issued by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for the year 1961 -62. Food Sanitation All establishments where food is prepared, sold or served are inspected by the Health Officer. Excellent cooperation is usually obtained. Hearings were necessary, however, regarding unsanitary conditions found in two establishments. In each case the violations were satisfactorily corrected. It is the Health Department's policy to inspect each food establishment three times a year. If necessary, more frequent inspections are made. Inspections are made without previous notification. Sanitary conditions in our school cafeterias remained at a very high level during 1961. 166 inspections of eating establishments were made in 1961. Four bakery trucks were stopped for inspection. Two violations were found and quickly corrected. Milk Sanitation There are 22 dealers licensed to sell milk and cream in the Town of Lexington. Samples were obtained from all dealers licensed to sell milk in Lexington and analyzed in the Health Department laboratory. Samples were tested for bacterial counts, efficiency of pasteurization, and contamination of the milk after pasteur- ization. Due to good modern methods of handling and processing milk, milk today has ceased to be the major problem it presented in years gone by, but in order to keep these high standards, continued inspection and testing of the milk must be carried on. Water Analysis Samples of bathing water were collected weekly from the Center Playground pools. Excellent bacteria counts were obtained with each testing. All samples analyzed from the Hayden Memorial Pool tested satisfactorily. PUBLIC SERVICES 151 Samples of bathing waters were collected periodically from the following pools: Lexington Inn Five Fields Community Pools Peacock Farm Community Pools Battle Green Inn Pool All samples tested satisfactorily. Several recommendations including safety tips were made to help insure safe bathing conditions at these pools. Seven well water samples were tested. All seven were found to be satisfactory. Twenty -five samples from various locations throughout town were obtained from our public water supply. All samples tested negative. Lots, Cesspools and Septic Tanks 79 permits for cesspools and septic tanks were issued in 1961. Careful ex- amination of soil conditions, water table and land area available are made before a permit is granted. Before any private sewerage system can be constructed a permit must be obtained from the Health Department. Specifications are explained to the builder, and inspections of the project are made from time to time during construction and before the installation is covered. Approximately 616 inspections were made during 1961. Sanitation of New Subdivisions All new developments are thoroughly inspected by a qualified registered engineer and a report submitted to the Board of Health. The Board of Health in turn has its consulting engineer, Whitman & Howard, verify each report. There were 15 subdivisions submitted to the Board of Health for approval during 1961. Child Care Centers 18 Child Care Centers were inspected and licensed. No licenses were issued until compliance with health and fire regulations was obtained. Rat Control 15 complaints of rats were investigated. In most cases the infestations were caused by food and harborages provided by the property owners. They were ad- vised on how to get rid of the rats themselves, or urged to hire private exterminators. Animal Permits All new applications for permits to keep animals were investigated by the Health Officer, and recommendations made to the Board of Health. All abutters were consulted. Complaints and Nuisances 196 complaints of various types were investigated by me during 1961. Each of these complaints was re- investigated to see that compliance was obtained, and on many occasions several investigations were necessary before the conditions were corrected. 152 PUBLIC SERVICES The following is a breakdown of these complaints: 52 — overflowing sewage systems 49 — rubbish and garbage complaints 33 — rodent and insect complaints 3 — safety hazards to public health 26 — drainage problems 24 — general information 9 — not considered public health nuisances Farm Labor Camps In a move to protect the health and well being of migratory farm laborers throughout the State, legislation was enacted in 1961 whereby these camps must meet the standards of the State Sanitary Code. In 1961 I inspected six Farm Labor Camps in Lexington. Any violations of the Code were brought to the attention of the owner of the farm. Arlington Sanitary Land Fill Off Route 2 A A badly contaminated brook has resulted directly from the Sanitary Land Fill Operation being conducted by the Town of Arlington. Many complaints have been received by this Department from residents in this area of strong odors emitting from this brook. This condition has been brought to the attention of the State Health Department as well as the Town of Arlington. At the present time steps are being taken by the Town of Arlington to pump this drainage coming from the Land Fill into a sewer on Summer Street. Investigation of Communicable Diseases During 1961 I investigated eight reported cases of Salmonella infection. In several cases the Salmonella infections were traced to contaminated food. A fellow -up was made of each case. Court Cases When all other methods fail, it becomes necessary to seek court assistance in obtaining compliance with the regulations of the Lexington Health Department. Three such cases were held during 1961. All of these were violations of Health Regulations resulting in overflowing sewage systems. Hearings were brought before the clerk of the court to show cause why a complaint should not be issued. Other Activities :1 belong to the following professional organizations: Massachusetts Public Health Association Massachusetts Association of Sanitarians Massachusetts Milk Inspectors Association National Association of Sanitarians PUBLIC SERVICES 153 I attended all important meetings of the above associations during 1961 with the exception of the National Association of Sanitarians which met in San Francisco. I wish to thank the Town Officers, Employees, and the public for their assist- ance and cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, MARK D. LURVEY, Executive Health Officer REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS December 31, 1961 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The following two items of importance should be noted for the year 1961: 1. The nationwide effort to overcome Hog Cholera in swine 2. The discovery of a rabid bat in Harvard, Massachusetts The Federal Government has embarked on a nationwide effort to overcome Hog Cholera in swine. This program will be carried out much the same as were the programs for the eradication of Tuberculosis and Brucellosis in cattle. As noted in this report in previous years, Brucellosis has been eliminated in New England to a point of less than 1/2 of 1 percent. The two above diseases have their counterpart in humans in Tuberculosis and Undulent Fever, whereas, Hog Cholera is not trans- mitted to humans. Lexington, as of 1961, has two swine herds for a total of 249 swine. Rabies was discovered in a bat in Harvard, Massachusetts, this September and confirmed by the Federal Laboratories in Georgia. All recent cases of Rabies in humans have originated with the bite of a bat. It was fortunate in this case that the woman bitten was the wife of a doctor who took the precaution of sending the bat head into the Wasserman Laboratory. It was necessary to send six 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. There were 129 dog bites reported in 1961, plus 3 cat bites and 5 other animal bites. The number of licensed dogs increases each year and with it the number of dog bites and also the calls made necessary to check these dogs that bite residents of Lexington. The number of dogs being vaccinated each year increases at the May Rabies Clinic. It should be noted that there is no such thing as a "permanent shot" in canines for Rabies, Distemper or Hepatitis. In a report two years ago in work with over 1000 dogs it was discovered that 30% of these dogs had lost a good measured immunity to canine distemper in one year and were susceptible again to distemper. 154 PUBLIC SERVICES 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 73 Horses 31 Ponies 14 Sheep 5 Goats 10 Swine 249 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, Veterinarian, Inspector of Animals REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS To the Honorable Board of Selectmen December 31, 1961 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 1961. The unprecedented growth of Lexington during the post -war period has con- tinued during the year 1961 and has been reflected in the public's increasing de- mand for services and in the volume of work that has been carried on by or under the direction of this department. 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 breakdown, 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: 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 Administration 3 3 2 2 3 Engineering 5 6 7 8 9 Clerical 4 5 5 6 6 Park Department 11 14 13 15 16 Mechancis and Janitors 6 6 6 6 6 Water Department 4 5 5 5 4 Public Works Department 24 26 27 26 28 57 65 65 68 72 PUBLIC SERVICES 155 Street Construction On July 27, 1961 a contract for construction of streets, sidewalks and the Meriam Street parking lot was awarded to the Carter Construction Company at a price, based on the engineer's estimate of quantities, of $124,879.75. The Meriam Street off - street parking lot was completed early in the fall and is now in operation. All of the betterment streets in the contract have been paved with at least the first course of bituminous concrete. It is expected that the work will be completed early in the Spring of 1962 on the betterment streets. The contractor has not begun work as yet on the short sections of Diana Lane, Emerson Road and the sidewalk on Lowell Street (which will require a section of the street to be relocated). It is expected that this work will also be completed early in 1962. The contract is broken down as follows: Street Length Drainage Balfour Street 960' 608' 12" Bellflower Street 780' 635' 12" Chase Avenue 500' 537' 12" 198' 15" Diana Lane 350' 25' 12" Hamblen Street 610' 393' 12" Lowell Street 1850' Meriam Street (Parking Lot) 94' 12" Oxford Street 283' 214' 12" Rawson Avenue 524' 630' 15" 117' 12" Tarbell Avenue 455' 263' 12" 23' 15" Tucker Avenue 160' 25' 12" Young Street 850' 344' 12" CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION: On August 22, 1961 a contract in the amount of $69,087.75 was awarded to the Chesterbrook Construction Company, Inc. for the construction of the section of Concord Avenue from Waltham Street to the westerly end of Benjamin Road. The funds for the construction of this section came from the appropriation of $36,000.00 in 1959 and the 1961 Chapter 90 appropriation of $47,400.00. This job was completed in 1961. Location Length Drainage Concord Avenue 4000' 1641' 12" 2512' 15" 156' 18" 60' 24" On January 17, 1961 a contract in the amount of $37,754.00 was awarded to the Rufo Construction Company for the reconstruction of the intersection of Lowell Street, Maple Street and Winchester Drive. This work was completed in 1 961 . Location Length Drainage Lowell Street, Maple Street Intersection 1600' 110' 10" 170' 12" 180' 15" 156 PUBLIC SERVICES CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE: In 1961 the following streets were sealed by Town forces with Chapter 90 Maintenance funds: Location Type Length Concord Avenue Sealing 2930' Hill Street 3765' Wood Street " 6025' 12720 Feet CURBING: The amount of $5,000.00 was appropriated in 1961 for the in- stallation of granite curbing. A breakdown of the work follows: Location Length Adams & Hancock Streets 95' Coolidge Avenue 451' Harrington Road 56' 602 Feet ASHES AND DUMPS: The Lincoln Street dump operation continued in about the same manner as in recent years. The operation became more of a sanitary land fill, however, as the fringe areas were approached. This was due to the near- ness of residences which required greater emphasis on covering each night. The cost of operation was again held down due to the practice of including in water, sewer and street construction contracts, the specification that all excess fill be deposited as cover material at the dump. The contract with the exterminator was continued with monthly service calls being made. Occasionally, as the occasion demanded, these calls were increased in frequency. At this date, it is apparent that the life of the present dump will not extend much beyond the end of 1962. By late in 1962 or 1963, it is expected that the sanitary land fill operation will be in operation in the "Meagherville" land off Hartwell Avenue. GARBAGE COLLECTION: On April 3, 1961 a contract was awarded to Stanley Roketenetz, Inc. for the collection of garbage at a price of $38,000.00. This amount was almost double the cost of yearly collection for the period from 1958 to 1960. For this reason, the Board of Selectmen awarded the contract for a one -year period, instead of the customary 3 years. On the whole, the garbage collection has been satisfactory. A continuing effort is being made by this department to assist the contractor in maintaining a high quality of collection. SNOW REMOVAL: As can be seen by the accompanying tables, snow removal for the Town of Lexington is no longer a minor item in the budget. Because of the continued growth of Lexington, additional schools and churches to remove snow from, the continued demand of the small businesses which are blossoming through- out the Town and the demanding public, the cost of snow removal per inch is no longer around $1,000. but is now about $1,300. per inch. This, very often, is higher because of storm conditions. As is noted in the tables, we had two storms PUBLIC SERVICES 157 158 PUBLIC SERVICES last year that were quite costly, one with a recorded amount of 14 inches. This storm cost $27,584.48 to plow and remove. As will be recalled, this was a blizzard type storm with heavy drifting long after the storm was over. The second large storm deposited 17 inches which will be remembered by many. This storm's cost was high due to the overtime rates paid for Sunday and Christmas Day. The total cost of these two storms was $48,921.62. The accompanying tables indicate the amount and days snow was recorded and the cost breakdown for each storm.

Ll November 20 December 24 STREET LIGHTING: In 1961 the plan of improving the street lighting on the 0o major streets was continued. On Waltham Street 9 — 11,000 lumen mercury vapor lights were installed from Mass. Avenue to Park Drive. On Mass. Avenue the 20,000 lumen mercury vapor lights were extended from Grant Street to Bloom - oo field Street and 19 of these lights were installed. O a0 a0 O M v)• U - U EA- v 0 It is the intention of the department to request the extension each year of the mercury vapor lighting on Mass. Avenue until the entire avenue from the Center to the Arlington line is lighted in accordance with modern lighting standards. Twenty 800 lumen lights, 34 — 2500 lumen lights, 11 — 600 lumen lights, 10 — 10,000 lumen lights were removed during the year. 108 — 1,000 lumens, 12 — 4,000 lumens, 20 — 11,000 lumen MV lights were installed so currently lamps in service are as follows: 800 Lumens 1157 1,000 709 2,500 100 4,000 30 6,000 37 10,000 6 11,000 MV 30 15,000 MV 7 20,000 MV 34 TRAFFIC REGULATION AND CONTROL: The main item in this budget is the painting of street lines, crosswalks and other traffic control markings on the pave- ment. During the past year these street lines and crosswalks were painted twice. The approximate linear footage painted is indicated below. 52,000 Center Lines 8,300 Crosswalks 3,600 Curbing 200 Parking Tees 215 Boys 75 STOP Signs 125 SLOW Signs 5 Circles 10 Bus Stops The department is also responsible for the maintenance and operation of the traffic signal lights on Mass. Avenue at Waltham Street, Locust Avenue and near the Adams School and for the one on Bedford Street at Worthen Road. All other traffic signal lights in Lexington come under the State Department of Public Works. STREET SIGNS: During the year 54 obsolete street signs were taken down. In addition to replacing these 54, 52 other new signs were installed, making a total of 106. ROAD MACHINERY: During the year the following pieces of equipment were purchased and received by the department: 1.) One -half ton Pickup Truck. For use by the Park Superintendent. PUBLIC SERVICES 2.) Sidewalk Plow. This unit brings to five the number of sidewalk plows owned by the department. 3.) 19,000 GVW Rack Body Dump Truck. This unit is used by the Park Department. It is equipped with a hydraulic tail gate for use in loading mowers, small trees, fertilizer, etc. It has been extremely useful in the short time in which it has been in operation. 4.) 32,000 GVW Snow Fighter. This unit is equipped with a sander body and hydraulically operated under -body scraper. It already has proven itself on the Christmas snow storm. 5.) 32,000 GVW Snow Fighter. This unit is equipped with a dump body and is equipped to take an under -body scraper without any modification. This unit also proved its worth in the Christmas storm. 161 SIDEWALKS: Three sidewalk contracts were awarded by the Board of Select- men in 1961. These are as follows: 1.) On June 5, 1961 a contract was awarded to B. & R. Con- struction Company and A. Lucchetti & Son at a price based on the Town Engineer's estimate of quantities of $8,400. This contract was handled in its entirety by the Engineering Department. The sidewalks included were: 1.) Eldred Street — 2309' 2.) Forest Street — 1155' 3.) Grove Street— 287' This contract was completed. 2.) On July 10, 1961 a contract was awarded to B. & R. Con- struction Company and A. Lucchetti & Son at a price based on the Town Engineer's estimate of quantities of $9,568. The only street contained in this contract was Paul Revere Road. Paul Revere Road — 2875' This contract was completed. 3.) Included in the 1961 street contract awarded to the Carter Construction Company on July 27, 1961 was a section of Lowell Street sidewalk from #458 Lowell Street to Laconia Street. The construction of this sidewalk necessitates the relocation of this sec- tion of Lowell Street. This work was not completed in 1961. 162 PUBLIC SERVICES The summary of sidewalk work in 1961 is as follows: Location Length Edgewood Road 82'* Eldred Street 2309' Forest Street 1155' Grove Street 287' Lowell Street 1950' ** Paul Revere Road 2875' TOTAL 8658 Feet * Individual request * * Not completed HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE: In 1961 the department maintained 92.33 miles of public ways, an increase of 4.39 miles over 1960. Highway maintenance is one of the major functions of the Public Works De- partment. In order to maintain our ever increasing system of streets, many different types of work must be performed. 1.) Street Cleaning. Our two mechanical street sweepers were in operation every day except in inclement weather or when the roads were icy or snow covered. Their busiest season, of course, was in the Spring when the sand used for icy conditions during the Winter had to be removed. Hand sweeping and cleaning was also done in the Center and on main streets. 2.) Pavement Maintenance. Our regular program of patching was continued. This type of maintenance is especially essential in the late Winter and early Spring when the freeze and thaw cycles cause holes to appear without warning. During the summer months more permanent maintenance work is done such as seal coating, machine resurfacing with bituminous concrete, etc. The following is a breakdown of the streets which the department sealed in 1961 by Town Forces. Location Length Cedar Street 336' Sheridan Street 346' Sherman Street 773' Spring Street 1862' Winter Street 2626' 5943 Feet In addition to the sealing of streets by Town Forces, a contract was awarded to the Essex Bituminous Concrete Corporation for bituminous concrete resurfacing. This contract was in the amount of $36,340. It was handled entirely by the Town Engineer's Office. Included in the contract were the resurfacing of streets in con- nection with other projects such as sewer construction where pavement over nearly the entire width of a street was disturbed from blasting, etc. The entire list of streets follows: PUBLIC SERVICES 163 Location Type Length Baker Avenue ST Mix 1079' Bedford Street Bit.

During the year all of our 2,629 catch basins in public ways were cleaned at least once. During the winter months 3800 feet of brooks were cleaned with our backhoe. 4.) Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance. Sidewalk, both bituminous and concrete, were repaired throughout the year. 5.) Miscellaneous Maintenance. In addition, a great deal of time was spent throughout the year on roadside mowing, miscel- laneous drain construction, guard rail and fence repair, etc. DRAIN CONSTRUCTION: The following drain construction was done in 1961 with Town labor and equipment.

Where this work was not done, the swamps had to be sprayed in April and May after larvae had hatched. A little aerial spraying and some night ground fogging was done to give relief from migrations of these species in June. The summer Culex (House Mosquito) program of inspection and spraying was carried on from June to the end of September. Drainage work was done north of the junction of Route 2 and Concord Avenue and at Great Meadows. TOWN OFFICES AND CARY MEMORIAL BUILDING: In addition to the gen- eral Alterations, repairs and painting of all three properties, the following work was done. On the Town Office Building repairs were made to approximately 60 feet of copper gutter. Defective traps were replaced on all the radiators in the Town Office Building. In the Cary Memorial Building copper downspouts were repaired and repairs were also made to the underground drainage leading away from the building. In the boiler room of the Cary Memorial Building, a major renovation took place. This involved the removal of an old boiler which had not been used for a number of years, major repairs to the other boiler, the replacement of a vacuum pump which was approximately 30 years old, the installation of an induced- PUBLIC SERVICES 169 170 PUBLIC SERVICES draft fan and other appurtenances to accomplish a major overhaul of the heating system in the Cary Memorial and Town Office Buildings. PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING: In addition to the usual repairs and maintenance, the following work was done at the Public Works Building. Five new overhead garage doors were installed. One of these was electrically operated. Many other odd jobs were completed for other departments and officials. These included the construction of a parking area at the Reservoir on Marrett Road to be used in the skating season, the regrading of Kinneen Pond playground, etc. All these projects proved time consuming and occasionally interfered with our normal programming. However, the co- operation shown by other departments more than offset any inconvenience to our own program. 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, Superintendent of Public Works REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEER To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: December 31, 1961 I submit herewith the report of the Engineering Department for the year end - ind December 31; 1961. The Engineering Department continues its previous policy of carrying to com- pletion several construction projects. This year because of the major reconstruction projects in Lexington the department has had to devote more time consulting with county, state and federal officials. For Route 128, Concord Avenue, Winchester Drive, etc. the department participated in the planning stage and provided assist- ance to the inspection for the purpose of protecting the Town utilities and the in- terests in general. In the office, preliminary plans and estimates were made for betterment street, sewer and water construction and final plans for easement purposes were made for sewer and water. Calculations were made, descriptions written, and final lay- out plans made for street acceptance plans. In co- operation with the Planning Board, plans were prepared for various parcels of land acquired by the Town. This year all the Town maps were brought up -to -date as they are in a continuous pro- cess of change. One program includes the renewing of Town maps as time per - mits. This year a water map, the 800 Town map and the 1600 Town map were completed. In addition, the Engineering office has copies of all the plans recorded at the Registry of Deeds. These plans are for the convenience of the public and may be seen in this office. During the year hundreds of plans were shown and home owners and developers alike benefited from this service. In the field the department located, marked, and gave grades for all water and sewer services installed during the year. Under subdivision control, the depart- ment devotes a great deal of its time each year to the inspection and supervision of the installation of utilities and streets in subdivisions. At the Westview Cem- etery grave lots were designed and located. In co- operation with the Park and School Department, baseball and football fields were designed and located at the schools and playgrounds. In addition to the above duties, the field men also lo- cated water mains, water gates, sewer manholes, street lines and curb lines. Projects which included both office planning and recording, and field location and supervision were as follows: Several parking lots, including school lots were designed and painted as were street lines and intersections. A preliminary design was made, field supervision given and final plans made for all Town installed util- ities. This year the department handled completely two contracts for the Town, namely the sidewalk construction contract awarded to B & R Construction Com- pany, Inc. and the street resurfacing contract awarded to Essex Bituminous Con- crete Corporation. For both these contracts the preliminary engineering and es- timating was done, the contract was drawn up and awarded, the construction su- pervised and payment estimates made. The preliminary engineering and field loca- tion surveys were made for the two sewer contracts and for the several sewer, water and traffic studies made this year. In addition to the regular engineering duties this year, the department assisted the Sewall Company in preparing assessors maps. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CARROLL, Town Engineer. REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT December 31, 1961 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: As in the past year, we are combining the reports of the Shade Tree, Insect Suppression and Park Divisions into two sections. Section 1 will cover the activities of the Park Division, and Section 2 the Shade Tree and Insect Supression. Section One The Park Department acquired two new trucks, one pick -up and one additional dump truck. At the Center Playground regular maintenance work was carried on. Some help was given to the Recreation Department at the swimming pool in the operation of the pool. Building of the girls' hockey field was completed and a drain installed. Benches were built at both Center Football Fields An automatic sprinkler system was installed at the Buckman Tavern grounds. Kinneen's Pond was graded and will be seeded in the spring. More attention has PUBLIC SERVICES 171 been given to Belfry Hill where we have set out flowering shrubs. The Town Office grounds were planted with flowers and flowering trees and the grounds in the rear were loamed and seeded and two picnic tables set out. All park areas were fertilized and some areas received three applications. All apple trees at Willard's picnic area were pruned. Some of the triangles were planted with tulips for the spring, and flowers for the remaining season. One new triangle, at Maple Street and Lowell Street, was added to the Park Department. Spraying for weed control was carried out and several areas limed. All other parks and triangles and all ballfield areas at Diamond Junior High, Fiske, Franklin, Hastings, Harrington and Adams Schools received their regular maintenance. The diamonds at the Fiske School, Franklin School and Center Play- ground were loamed and seeded. Areas at the Diamond Junior High School were resodded and work started on the construction of a new field. Section Two The Shade Tree Department did not purchase any new heavy equipment this year. The outlook in regard to our public shade trees seems better this year. We are endeavoring to replace trees that have been removed as soon as possible. They are being replaced with a variety of trees and most of the new trees are being planted inside the Town boundary line. This gives them a better chance for sur- vival. On any new construction work, we are trying to save as mzn'; troos as •essqb!e and where digging can be done by hand in order to save a tree, it is carried out. During the spring and fall of the past year 265 trees of all varieties were planted in new developments and other accepted streets throughout the town. Each year we are making our tree nursery larger and buying small trees so we can raise them ourselves. This enables us to have a better selection and reduce the overall cost of new trees. Our dormant and summer spraying was done with our own crew and hired heli- copter service. The helicopter was used on parks, playgrounds, cemeteries and swamp areas where it was impossible to reach with our own equipment. Addition- al spraying of oak trees was also required this year. Some progress was made this year on pruning and removing dead wocd from our public trees although more time should be spent on this work. We have pruned 125 trees of different varieties, excluding elms, mostly because of con- struction work. We also removed about 21 stumps to about six inches below grade with our stump cutter. A great deal of time was spent trying to control the Dutch Elm Disease 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 both public and private prop- erty. This year we have pruned 100 town elm trees. This is one of the best ways of controlling the Dutch Elm Disease because the Dutch Elm Disease Bark Beetle enters through dead wood. The Shade Tree Department also has removed 65 dead elm trees on private property because they are a source of spreading Dutch Elm Disease. These are trees that could not be tested because live wood has to be present in order to get a positive test. 172 PUBLIC SERVICES The following is a comparison of Dutch Elm diseased trees found in Lexington since 1958 : — 1958 106 1959 105 1960 85 1961 45 The trees tested this year included 30 privately owned trees and 15 public trees which have been removed by the Shade Tree Department. In conclusion, I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Superintendent of Public Works and the many other departments that have helped us during the past year. Respectfully submitted, PAUL E. MAZERALL, Superintendent of Park and Shade Tree REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS December 31, 1961 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, 'Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Cemetery Commissioners submit their Annual Report for the year 1961. The regular maintenance work has been done on the grounds, driveways, trees and shrubs of the four cemeteries. There were twenty -one interments in Munroe Cemetery. A large section of fence was replaced. Ten graves were raised and reseeded. Repairs were made to the two summer houses. One power mower and one power trimmer was purchased for this cemetery. At Westview Cemetery there were one hundred and three interments, forty - seven lots, sixteen single graves and nine baby graves were sold. A section of fence was replaced. A new dump truck was purchased to replace the truck used for the past eleven years. A gang mower and one power trimmer was replaced. The interior of the garage was painted. Work was started to extend a new section in the rear of the cemetery. The hill was cleared of timber and then bull - dozed into the valley below. The new section comprises of about three acres at the pres- ent time. Plans have been made to continue this project early next spring. At Colonial Cemetery about seventy -five feet outside the wooden fence on the border line of the church property was dug up, filled in with loam and seeded. The stone wall which encloses the Simond's section was repaired. Several sunken graves were reloamed and reseeded. PUBLIC SERVICES The following funds were collected and committed to the Town Treasurer: Westview Cemetery Sale of Lots $4,600.00 Sale of Single Graves 459.00 Sale of Baby Graves 162.00 Perpetual Care 5,798.00 Interments 2,804.00 Green and Lowering Device 530.00 Foundations 507.00 Tent 165.00 Miscellaneous 1Receipts 184.00 $15,209.00 Munroe Cemetery Annual Care Fund $ 72.75 Interments 595.00 Green and Lowering Device 120.00 Foundations 71.00 Miscellaneous 3.00 173 $861.75 The Cemetery Commissioners take this opportunity to acknowledge with thanks the assistance and co- operation given to the department by officials of the Town, members of the various departments and the personnel of the Cemetery Depart- ment.

Respectfully submitted, MAURICE D. HEALEY, Registrar. CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES December 31, 1961. 175 176 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY To the Citizens of Lexington: In 1961 the Trustees of Cary Memorial Library, composed of the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee, and the Settled Ministers of the Town held two regular and three special meetings. The !Executive Committee met monthly ex- cept in July and August, with extra meetings when necessary. In this period of major decision making it has been helpful to have so little turnover on the Board, and the greater activity of some of the newer members has been very helpful. Members of the Advisory Committee have also been most helpful. Mrs. McCue and Messrs. Bryant, Hoyt, and Riley of the Advisory Committee have attended regularly. With the continued cooperation of the Lexington Historical Society, changing exhibits of special historical interest have been enjoyed by many residents and other visitors to the Lexington Room. Flower arrangements provided during the year by members of the Morning Study Group of the Lexington Field and Garden Club, and others, have given pleasure to both patrons and staff members. Library facilities continue to be used increasingly by more and more citizens of all ages. Cary Library is now very near the top among Massachusetts public li- braries in total and per capita circulation. More details are given in the Director's report. We are grateful to a capable and most willing and cooperative staff for making so many library services available to us. Happily there have been appreciably fewer staff changes and vacancies in 1961 than in 1960. Of the five resignations effective this year, however, two were top administrators, which deserve mention here. The Directo -'s report included the other changes. Miss Claire St. Arnaud, Assistant Director, whose resignation became effective February first, had been with us only one year, but during that year had made a real contribution in helping to achieve more clearly defined duties and an improved staff organization. The resignation of Ralph A. Nason, Director, effective October first, marked the end of an era at Cary Memorial Library, an era characterized by the dedicated service of a few faithful employees who lived in Lexington and for Lexington and Cary Library; who gave of their time and effort with little thought of numbers of hours scheduled or salary increases granted. We shall be ever grateful to them for their outstanding contribution to this town. The library as it is today is a tribute to Mr. Nason's guidance during his twenty -two years at Cary Library, twenty -one of them as Director. Mr. Nason made another major contribution not widely known, perhaps. He spent countless hours serving without additional compensation as con- sultant to the Building Committee in planning the enlargement and renovation of the building. His judgment based on long experience and his constant attention to detail is gratefully remembered by the Building Committee and the Board. The Trustees faced a major job in selecting a director to succeed Mr. Nason. After agreeing on a few broad qualifications, the Board directed the Executive Committee, with the addition of two Trustees not currently on that Committee and a representative of the community not on the Board, to act as a Screening Com- mittee to consider applications, interview candidates, and select a director. After screening applications received directly from individuals and as a result of recom- mendations from schools of library science and from other librarians in the area, nine personal interviews were scheduled. Mr. Karl Nyren, Director of the Peabody Institute Library of Danvers and a former English professor, was the unanimous choice of the Screening Committee, and his appointment was unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees. Mr. Nyren came to the library as Director Designate on August first and became Di- rector October first. After a careful consideration of qualifications and on Mr. Nyren's recommenda- tion, Mr. William Buckley, formerly at the Winchester Public Library, was appoint- ed Assistant Director, effective October first. In this short time Mr. Nyren has more than fulfilled the expectations of the Trustees. His appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of the library showed keen understanding and careful analysis. His recommendations for 1962 proposo strengthening special areas of the book collection and a broadening of services to the community. As an era ends another begins, one toward which we move with confidence. The Board wishes to express its appreciation to both Mr. Nason and Mr. Nyren for serving, successively, as its Secretary- Treasurer. Respectfully submitted, MILDRED B. MAREK, President Alan G.

Green Secretary Mary Ann Mackie Assistant Helen G. Medeiros Assistant Patricia Tremblay Assistant Jean Di Bacco Assistant Mildred C. Hemstreet Assistant Edward T. McDonnell Custodian REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR December 31, 196T To the Trustees of Cary Memorial Library: The Director respectfully submits the ninety -third Annual Report of the Library. The circulation of books, records, magazines and pamphlets totaled 445,566 for 1961, a gain of 36,511. Children's room circulation, which had a sharp drop in (from September, 1960, to March, 1961) 1960, increased in 1961 to 173,877 reflecting a very busy summer. There have been five resignations from the staff in 1961: Mr. Nason, as Director; Miss St. Arnaud, Assistant; Miss Coleman, leaving for a higher salary with the Brookline Public Library; Miss Ahern to get married; Mrs. Enroth to stay at home. Added to the staff were Director Karl Nyren, Assistant Director William Buckley, Children's Librarian Brenda Pelofsky, Young Adults' Librarian Christie Vernon, Assistant Children's Librarian Margaret Eubank, and Circulation Assistant Roland Perkins. Mr. Peter Simoglou was promoted to the position of Reference Librarian and Mr. Doak to the position of Circulation Librarian. Overall activity of the library, as indicated by circulation figures, seems to indicate a rate of growth that should bring us past the half - million mark in 1962, and very possibly to first place in the state for books per capita circulated. Some changes may be noted in book selection policy, with a new emphasis on serious non - fiction for adults and a strengthening of the library's resources for reference. In the Children's Library the trend has been toward ordering more copies and fewer titles, as well as building our reserves of established children's classics. The effect of this policy on circulation will not be apparent until well into 1962. 178 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY A new effort has been made since the middle of the year to keep firm discipline, in order that readers may not be annoyed by rowdyism either inside or outside the library. To this end there has been increased supervision of all areas and a strict policy toward offenders. On the other hand, policy has been relaxed in one area. Young people of any age are allowed complete freedom of the building and are treated as adults when they need to use stacks and other adult areas, provided that they are adult in behavior. Results of this overall policy seem to have pleased readers in general, and to have offended no one. In my first half year of service with the staff of the library, I can say with sin- cerity that the spirit of the staff has been excellent. A great deal of hard work is done each week with efficiency and good humor, and our only staff weakness is the small number of professionally trained, graduate librarians we have been able to attract. Particularly to be commended are Mr. Buckley, whose energy and fore- sight in his first three months in the position have been of great assistance; Mr. Doak, who as Circulation Librarian has done much in a short time to streamline routine procedures and improve the work done in his area; and Mr. Simoglou, who has brought vigor and responsibility to the position of Reference Librarian. These names were singled out for their newness; the rest of the staff are without excep- tion to be commended for continuing a high level of performance. Plans have been made for programs throughout 1962 in the areas of adult education, art exhibits, and film showings. An increased effort in public relations will stress talks to groups, publication of book lists, and newspaper publicity in the hope that 1962 will see the potential of this library more fully realized and its position of leadership in the community strengthened. To the Board of Trustees and the Advisory Committee for their loyal support and many hours of hard work, the Director offers his sincere appreciation.

HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES December 31, 1961 183 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: We respectfully submit this report covering the activities of the Town Celebra- tions Committee for the year 1961. The Committee, which consists of nine citizens representing various segments of the town and each serving three -year terms, met twenty-four times during the year to plan proper observances of Patriots' Day, United Nations Day, and Thanks- giving, three celebrations the responsibility for which the Town Celebrations Com- mittee is charged by the Board of Selectmen. Patriots' Day April 19, 1961 will be most vividly remembered for the visit of delegates from seventeen new independent nations of Africa. The idea for their visit originated with Dr. Howard Smith. His inspired leadership led to the formation of the Min- uteman Freedom Committee consisting of private citizens who shared Dr. Smith's belief in benefits which these new nations could derive in their delegates' visiting the birthplace of our nation and in their observing our celebration of our heritage of freedom. With the cooperation of the United Nations and the United States State Department the delegates were escorted to Lexingon by the Honorable G. Mennen Williams, Under Secretary of State for Africian Affairs. They were hosted by private citizens and visited historic sites in Concord as well as 'Lexington. The African delegates at the invitation of the Town Celebrations Committee shared the reviewing stand with the usual dignitaries to observe the afternoon parade. In the evening they were honored at a banquet in the High School with more than five hundred citizens attending and with John A. Volpe, Governor of the Common- wealth, being a principal speaker. The regular ceremonies of Patriots' Day were opened with the annual early morning parade, climaxed by appropriate ceremonies and the raising of the Flag on Lexington Green. It is the hope of the Committeee that this will continue to be a simple and dignified celebration of and for the people of Lexington with the local youth groups and school bands as the principal participants. The theme of the afternoon parade was "Let Freedom Ring ". The parade, consisting of five divisions, was led by William F. Bongiorno, Chief Marshal, and William Roger Greeley, Honorary Marshal and Recipient of the Lions Club White Tricorn Hat for 1961. The parade presided over by Carol Arnold, "Lady Lexing- ton — 1961", was marked by stiff competition among the float entries for the three Chamber of Commerce trophies. Representatives of about twenty -five Lexington organizations conferred with the Committee during the year to make plans for the Patriots' Day Celebration. Members of the High School Photography Club filmed the parade for the Celebra- tions Committee and this movie is available for loan to Lexington organizations. Members of the Lexington Guides Association gave informative historical talks 184 HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES between the parades and were prepared to translate these talks into French for the benefit of visitors from foreign nations. The Committee made an effort to strengthen its liaison with Concord in an- ticipation of the close cooperation which will be necessary in developing mutually acceptable long -range plans for the Celebration of 1975. The towns cooperated in sharing the expenses of bands which participated in the parades in both towns. The participation of the Lexington Minutemen in the ceremonies in Concord, as well as Lexington, on Patriots' Day again reflected the spirit of cooperation be- tween the towns. The unexpected expenses involved in hosting the African Delegates on Patriots' Day required the Committee to draw $500 from the Leroy S. Brown Fund. United Nations Day United Nations Day, the 24th of October, was celebrated in a broader manner than ever before in Lexington in 1961. The Chamber of Commerce participated in a United Nations Days promotion for the week of October 23 through 28 dur- ing which time merchants displayed window posters, counter cards, and decorated windows commemorating the United Nations. The Kiwanis Club donated inform- ative United Nations literature which was distributed with the cooperation of the retailers. The management of the Battle Green Inn donated a vacant shop on Waltham Street which the Committee established as a United Nations Headquarters during this period. The Celebration itself was opened with an early - morning Flag Raising Cere- mony on Lexington Green. At this ceremony the Lions Club presented to the town a large United Nations Flag which was raised beneath the Stars and Stripes by an Honor Guard from the 'Lexington Marine Corps League. Small United Nations Flag donated to the town by the Lions Club were mounted on street staffs and erected alternately with American Flags around the outer perimeter of the Lexington Green. The 1961 United Nations tree, a blue spruce donated by the Lexington Junior Chamber of Commerce as an expression of hope and faith in the United Nations, was planted as a part of a program presented by the Munroe School pupils. The High School Student Council arranged a United Nations Assembly Pro- gram, the highlight of which was the reading of the prize - winning 1961 United Nations Essays by the winners, Judy Pullen and James Goldberg. A record number of seventy seniors competed in this contest annually sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Town Celebrations Committee and was directed by Miss Helen McIntyre of the Social Studies Department. The Lexington Rotary Club as- sumed the entire expense for a prize trip to the United Nations for the two winners and their two chaperones, teachers from the High School. The first assembly of the entire student body was held at the new Estabrook `'School to commemorate United Nations Day— 1961. The climax to the program presented by the students was the presentation of the United Nations Flag by the Lexington Lions Club. In the evening, the Committee sponsored an address by F. Bradford Morse, Congressman from the Fifth Congressional District, entitled "A Rejoinder for Reason ". The address, delivered in the High School Auditorium was interesting and informative. The attendance, however, was disappointingly sparse with only .about one - hundred citizens in attendance. HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES 185 186 HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES Community Thanksgiving Service Appoximately three hundred and fifty citizens attended the annual Commu- nity Thanksgiving Service sponsored by the Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant faiths on November 19, 1961 in the Lexington High School Auditorium. The order of service, unchanged from previous years, included participation of the clergy from the three faiths selected in accordance with a rotational system. Mrs. Ruth Morey, Chairman, Board of Selectmen, delivered the Governor's Proclamation. The pro- gram was enriched by renditions of the Lexington Choral Society. The Thanksgiv- ing Address was delivered by the Honorable William C. 'Madden and was entitled "Thanksgiving and Self- Government ". In addition to the usual means and news- paper publicity and church announcements, the Committee attempted to increase the attendance at the 1961 service by distributing the programs at regular Sunday morning church services throughout the town on November 19, 1961. The Committee feels that the disappointing attendance at this service reflects a low level of community interest which does not justify its being classified as a "Community" Thanksgiving Service. The Committee is actively evaluating basic changes which can be made in the service which will increase interest, participation, and attendance. If basic changes offering such results cannot be found, it is the feeling of the Committee that perhaps the Thanksgiving Service should be termin- ated as a town sponsored function. The Committee wishes to thank the many organizations, town departments, and individuals, whose cooperation makes these celebrations more meaningful and in- spirational for all the citizens of Lexington.

HOWARD Chairman REPORT OF MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE December 31, 1961 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I would like to submit my annual report of the observance of 'Memorial Day, 1961 Memorial Day services for Veterans of al! wars were 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 concluded at the Battle Green where the Invocation was offered, reading of the Proclamation by a member of the Board of Selectmen, addresses by the Com- manders of the Military organizations of the town, raising of the colors and sound- ing of Taps. All monuments and graves of Veterans were decorated with flags and wreaths as is customary for the ocassion. Respectfully submitted, MAURICE D. HEALY, Chairman REPORT OF THE VETERANS' DAY OBSERVANCE December 31, 1961 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Submitted herewith is the annual report of the observance of Veterans' Day, 1961. Veterans' Day was observed with a parade from the Junior High School on Massachusetts Avenue to the Battle Green. Participating in the parade and cere- monies was a marching unit from the Bedford Air Force Base and esorted by the Police Department. Included in the parade were representatives from the Amer- ican Legion, Minute Men, Veterans of Foreign Wars, •Lexington and Bedford De- tachments of the Marine Corps League and the Sons of Union Veterans. At the Battle Green the Invocation was offered by the Clergy and the Proclamation was . read by Selectmen Lincoln P.Cole.

Surrounded by a burgeoning school population, faced with spiralling costs, committed to a program of excellence, and confronted with the dynamic forces of change, the Committee has had a difficult, challenging, but ever stimulating role to play. In retrospect, we might label 1961 as a year of consolidation; .a year in which (while we still made changes, adopted new policies, set long -range goals) we took stock — a year in which we reviewed our progress and assessed our strengths and weaknesses. You will find in the report of the Superintendent more detailed reports, but let us list here a few of the committee's reviews. We reviewed and assessed: (1) programs: The Advanced Program, team - teaching program, Driver Educa- tion, leadership program, etc. (2) policies: sick leave regulations, policies, transportation regulations, and policies concerning early admission to elementary schools. (3) curricula, especially elementary science, physical education, and mathe- matics. (4) the reports of our two advisory committees: the Citizens' Secondary School Study Committee and the Citizens' Committee on Maintenance and Operations. (5) the testing program of the entire system. The Committee also took steps to strengthen and improve many aspects of the school system, through, for example, (1) the creation of new positions (Assistant Director of Instructional Services, Director of Pupil Personnel Services, Coordinator of Library Services); (2) the intensification of a recruiting program; (3) the adoption of new personnel policies (especially a new sick -leave policy) and the completion of personnel and salary guides for all personnel in the school system; (4) the provision of a trial seven weeks' summer program for pre -first grade children to be conducted in the summer of 1962; (5) the establishment of guide lines for the new secondary school center; (6) the creation of summer curriculum and study workshops for teachers and administrators; (7) the encouragement of a continued orderly development of new and im- proved curriculum materials and techniques in all major fields; (8) the creation of the Harvard- Lexington Summer Program; (9) the notable strengthening of library facilities throughout the system. We have wrestled with, and will continue to study, many other problems — some quite mundane, others more controversial, "hot ", or highly complete. Here are just a few of them: the length of the school day, the school year; the ob- servance of religious holidays (should the schools be closed on Good Friday, for example); a twelve -month school program; redistricting — a perennial problem; rewarding teacher excellence; extra compensation for special duties; teaching load; classroom space; kindergartens; class size; band uniforms; the role of adult edu- cation in a public school system; public relations; transportation; sidewalks; gifts from PTAs; teacher - aides; recruiting; costs; encouragement of student participation; sites; costs; personnel policies; accounting methods; hot -lunch programs; expansion of physical education; coaches' salaries; costs; new techniques in teaching mathe- matics; advanced placement; costs; testing programs; assessment of progress; guidance program; vocational education; and ever recurring: the goals for the Lexington Schools, or how to provide the best education possible for the children of Lexington. These are only a few of the problems; others may be deduced by reading be- tween the lines of the rest of the report. There is one problem, however, which we would like to highlight. It is this: the problem of communications. The School Committee recognizes that, because of the pressure of other highly important concerns, it has not apparently come to grips with the manifold problems of keeping the citizens of Lexington apprised of what is going on in the Lexington Schools. We are reminded of this continuously through the frequency and repetition of questions: How do Lexington schools rate with others in the state, the region, the country? Can't something be done about the teaching of — (art, music, reading, spelling, etc., etc.) in the Lexington schools? Why doesn't Lexington have a kindergarten program? Why do I have to pay for transportation when the children down the street are provided with bus passes? Is so much homework really nec- essary? or Shouldn't more homework be given? How do I interpret these test scores? What is the Educational Program of the Lexington schools? I think you (the schools) are pushing our children too hard. Do you have to give them these difficult source theme assignments? or conversely: Why can't you challenge Lexington youngsters more effectively? motivate them? stimulate them? The Committee has been heartened by the ever growing interest and concern about educational matters shown and expressed by townspeople. We are pleased at the growing attendance at committee meetings. We are thankful that the Minute -Man has given so much space to school activities. We are proud of the work of the many Parent- Teacher Associations. We are appreciative of the out- standing efforts of the League of Women Voters, the Town Meeting Members Association, and the PTA Council in informing the citizens of the work of the Lexington schools. Yet, we realize that somehow we have been doing a poor job at keeping all citizens informed of our goals and objectives; of acquainting them with the educational achievements (and they have been many!) of the Lexington Schools; of informing the citizenry of what is behind a new policy, a change in methods, a new grouping of students, the need for additional staff, or a new program. At times it has seemed that we have done a far better job in telling the rest of the country about the continuous strengthening of well - established activities and the exciting, new, sound achievements of the Lexington Schools than we have in telling you, the voters of Lexington. National television coverage, attention and study of the Lexington educational program by teacher - training institutions through- SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 23 t 232 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT out the U. S., articles in professional educational journals, visits (an almost staggering number) from teachers and administrators from California to Ghana, from Florida to England — all of these have made Lexington an honored name in Education. This has had a stimulating effect upon our system. It has helped further the thought that Lexington provides a stimulating climate in which to work. Here is a town which clearly believes in doing an excellent job of educating its children, of providing each child with the opportunity to develop intellectually to the limits of his ability. Here, they say, is a school system which truly seeks "to implant and arouse an intellectual curiosity and a desire for learning in boys and girls that will endure throughout their lives." Why, then, haven't we communicated more effectively at home? What can we do? What should we do? These questions will occupy the Committee next year. We would welcome your help, your advice. This may be a truism: A school system does not operate in a vacuum. But it bears repeating. Also it bears repeating to say that the School Committee is very mindful of the wonderful cooperation it has had again this year from town boards and employees, citizens' groups, school - oriented organizations, professional educa- tional agencies, teacher - association committees; service and civic organizations and many, many townspeople. A complete roster would be too long to print here, but we do wish to commend these groups and to say "Thank you" for their assistance and invaluable contributions to the Lexington school system. We would particularly like to offer our thanks to the parents and other residents of Lexington who, through such organizations as local school PTAs, or on an individual basis, have so graciously contributed time, effort, and talent by assisting teachers in many diverse ways: lunchroom duties, staffing libraries, acting as re- source people for curriculum committees, speaking to classes or assemblies, coun- seling students and in many other ways. We are extremely grateful for their assistance. Custodians, coordinators, school committee members, speech therapists, lunch- room supervisors, guidance counselors, librarians, directors, maintenance men, psychologists, secretaries, superintendent, nurses, audio - visual specialists, coaches, principals, department heads, doctors, switchboard operators, reading consultants, these are all members of the Lexington School system; but they are part of the system for only one reason: to provide assistance, guidance, support for one group of people — the teachers. And so we close our report with a final "thank you" — to the teachers for a job well done. REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT To the Members of the School Committee: This is the seventy -sixth in a series of printed Annual Reports of the Lexington Superintendent of Schools, the first having been issued in 1885. It is the third' one I have prepared. The subject matter of most of these reports has been uniform. All discuss enrollment problems, the need for more building facilities, for more and better qualified teachers, with updating the curriculum in terms of the day and age in which we live, and, finally, with the methodology of instruction. In this respect this report is similar to all of the previous seventy -five. Organizational Structure: There are three divisions which carry on all the func- tions of the Lexington Public Schools. Separate reports for each division follow this report. First, the Instructional Services 'Division, which has the responsibility for the actual operation of our schools, including such activities as those of instruction, curriculum revision, and in- service training. This division is headed by Mr. Paul F. Poehler, Jr. Second, the Pupil Personnel Services Division, where the emphasis is on pro- viding services that will enable the individual youngster to obtain the maximum benefit of his school experiences, is headed by Dr. Henry L. lsaksen. Third, the Administrative Services Division, whose responsibilities cover man- agement activities of the school system, including the business affairs, budgeting, purchasing, payroll, plus the operation and maintenance of the plant, transportation and school lunch program, is headed by Mr. Mitchell J. Spiris. In general, the principals of the schools are responsible to the Director of the Instructional Division, although each has some responsibilities to the Directors of the other two divisions. Major credit is due to each principal for the instructional success of the students in his school, for the climate of a school depends upon his leadership. This climate and the freedom to improve is dependent upon the at- titude of the principal. It has been a pleasure to observe the large number of parents who feel free to visit our schools to seek assistance and to give advice as it relates to their young- ster's success. Normally, all problems relating to a child are discussed first with the teacher. If additional assistance or advice is needed it can be secured through the office of the principal. This is true whether the problems relate to learning, to the lunchroom, to transportation, or to books and supplies, for all fall within the general area in which the principal works. When required, additional aid can be secured by the principal or by the parents through the division heads. Every member of our administrative staff is sincere in believing in an open door policy, one which invites parents to discuss mutual problems of the school to the advantage of each youngster. All citizens of Lexington are invited and encouraged to visit. They are only requested to seek out the principal of the building so that he may make suitable arrangements. For the protection of our youngsters it is necessary for each principal to know what people are in his building and for what purpose. Under this reasonable precaution visitors are welcome at all times. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 233 234 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Elementary School Enrollments: In September 1961 we were fortunate to open a fine new school, the Joseph Estabrook Elementary School, with a capacity under a conventional program of 621 youngsters, and under a team teaching program of 667 youngsters. This school relieved the overcrowded conditions at the Har- rington, Fiske and Parker Schools. The following table indicates the student capacity for each building, the enrollment as of October 2, 1961, and the estimated enrollment for October 1, 1962: Estimated Enrollment Enrollment Schools Capacities Oct. 2, 1961 Oct. 1, 1962 Adams 16 x 27 = 432 406 434 Estabrook 23 x 27 = 621 (667 *) 465 497 Fiske 19 x 27 =513 466 498 Franklin 18 x 27 = 486 (522 *) 510 545 Hancock 8 x 27 = 216 250 267 Harrington 20 x 27 = 540 554 591 Hastings 20 x 27 = 540 589 629 Munroe 9 x 27 = 243 239 255 2x 7= 14 ** 15 16 13x27 =351 248 266 Munroe (Sp.) Parker Total Elem. 148 x 27 = 3996 (4038 *) 3742 * When used as a team teaching school ** Two special classes 3998 This year there are overcrowded conditions at the Hancock School, the Hastings School will be in a very serious situation, for it will have an enrollment requiring at classrooms. Next year, September 1962, the situation will become much more critical. It is estimated that the Franklin, the Hancock, the Harrington, the Hastings, and the Munroe Schools will have an overcrowded situation. The Franklin School will be in a very serious situation for it will have an enrollment requiring at least one extra classroom of youngsters to be cared for in this team teaching school, or several extra classrooms of youngsters as compared with using it on a conven- tional basis. The Hancock School problem will be considerably worse than this year. Har- rington's overcrowdedness will become even more apparent with at (east two classrooms of youngsters which cannot be handled adequately. Hastings School will be in a similar condition. These overcrowded conditions will be partially eased by moving youngsters from these schools to those which are not overcrowded. In other cases, substandard classrooms are available and will be used. It may be necessary to use the Fiske School procedure of a year ago, that is, divide a gymnasium into four temporary classrooms. Conditions will continue to worsen each year until additional facilities become available. Secondary School Enrollments: At the secondary level the situation is as follows: Estimated Enrollment Enrollment Schools Capacities Oct. 2, 1961 Oct. 1, 1962 Diamond Junior High 900 873 880 Muzzey Junior High 800 785 791 Senior High 1200 1212 1307 Total Secondary 2900 2870 2978 The junior high schools will be near capacity for several years. Fortunately, the number of youngsters entering from the elementary schools is at a low ebb during the 1962 -63 and 1963 -64 school years. Therefore, the problem at the junior high school level will not become critical until the fall of 1964. At the high school, capacity was reached this year. Next year (September 1962) there will be an additional 100 youngsters. In September 1963 there will be another 150 seeking desk and study space. By dividing another classroom in half, as was done this year, and by increasing the size of classes, this overcrowdedness will be handled. Staff Changes: For the past few years we have analyzed our resignations very carefully to determine what changes in salaries, personnel policies or recruitment techniques are needed. During the period September 1, 1960, through August 31, 1961, teachers resigned for the following reasons: Family reasons 33 New positions 13 Resigned 4 III health 2 Retirement 1 Housing 1 "Unhappy" 1 Sixty percent (33) of those teachers who resigned did so for family reasons. Fourteen of these moved with their families to a different section of the country; six were married; eight resigned because of pregnancies; and five wanted to be full -time with their families. This situation is similar to that of the last two years. Thirteen of our teachers accepted new positions; four accepted positions in colleges and universities; three took administrative positions in nearby school systems, and two went to positions abroad. Only four teachers left Lexington to take similar positions in other school systems. Thus, there were only four teachers who left' Lexington for similar positions. This is an excellent record. However, fifty -five replacement teachers, plus teachers employed to fill new positions, demand an even more careful look at the resignations to see whether the policies which we presently use require change. For example, we have employed many young teachers this year, about half of whom will be leaving the profession within a period of five years. This percentage is true for the nation and it has been true for Lexington. Instead of employing these young, vigorous, alert people we could have secured teachers with consider- ably more experience — those who have decided on education as a career and are less likely to leave the profession. However, it is our considered judgment that SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 235 236 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT this policy would have resulted in our securing teachers with less of the intellectual vigor we were looking for in our classrooms. Many of the older, experienced teacher candidates did not have the "spark" desirable in the better teacher. Thus, by design, we selected more of the younger, less experienced personnel than was necessary — personnel of high quality that is eager to improve with experience. As a corollary, we accept more teacher resignations and we even accept the mis- takes of the young, for in the long run we will end up with superior personnel. This is a policy which we intend to continue for it brings into Lexington better teachers. The only alternative would be to develop a salary schedule which would increase our salaries by several thousand dollars in the middle and upper ranges, thus making it possible for us to employ teachers from our neighboring school systems. This is only a temporary solution. Our neighbors, to remain competitive, will raise their schedules placing us in much the same relationship that exists now. We are happy that four of our personnel are now working in colleges and universities. We are happy that three of our personnel have been selected for administrative posts in nearby school systems. We know that our staff is as fine as we thought it was. This is attested by those who have employed our personnel. Much as we dislike losing teachers who go to advanced positions, we also realize that this reputation in itself will tend to bring new and better teachers to our schools. In summary, we are satisfied that the resignations for 1961 show a natural and reasonable turnover that is generally favorable in nature. Recruitment: Because of its importance we have placed considerable stress on the recruitment of teachers. We recognize that this is a continuing problem and that we don't always secure those teachers for whom we are looking. However, during the past year we examined the credentials of over 1500 different candidates, of whom we employed about 100. In the case of every experienced teacher we tried to visit him in his position. This, of course, was only possible with vacancies occurring during the year. In addition, for each active candidate we secured refer- ences from at least three different people, including the principal of the school in which the candidate had last been teaching. We studied the records of all candidates from their colleges and universities. Each candidate was interviewed separately by several members of our staff. In return, we tried to give every candidate information about the public schools in Lexington and the Town of Lex- ington. If they came to Lexington, we tried to show them our Town and our schools; we tried to give them some of the flavor and teaching climate of Lexington. In other words, we made every attempt to know each candidate well and to allow him to know Lexington well. These procedures were part of our recommendation to the School Committee for such a person's election to a position in the Lexington schools. We used many procedures, both directly and indirectly, to encourage teachers to apply for positions in Lexington. Lexington's national reputation as a "lighthouse school district," that is, an outstanding school system, is such that we receive many applications from all sections of the country. Superintendents from as far away as Colorado and California have written telling us that an excellent teacher was moving into our area and that he would be getting in contact with us. The largest number of our applications resulted from candidates being told by Lexington teachers that Lexington is a good place in which to teach. This, in itself, is a happy omen and one which we hope will continue to occur. In addition, we attempt to communicate both by letter and in person with every teacher - training institution in the New England area, and with a few west of the Hudson River. The fact that our leadership personnel are in demand as speakers at national and regional conventions makes it possible for many educators to know about our schools. Several of our teachers are teaching in night sessions or summer classes in various colleges and universities. This, too, brings Lexington to the attention of teachers. We receive hundreds of requests each year for information about the various excellent educational programs currently operating in our schools. Questions about our academic programs at the high school, our physical education program, our music, English, history or science curriculum, our team teaching program, our modern language program, our testing program, and our Pupil Personnel Services Division are examples of the kind of activities which keep Lexington's name in the forefront. Such methods as these assist us in securing better candidates for our vacancies. As indicated previously, we are happy with our success to date, but we are well aware of the fact that we cannot live on our reputation. We must continue to make every effort to encourage educators to want to come to teach in Lexington. To encourage capable people to enter the teaching profession, to come to Lexington, and to stay in Lexington there are at least three demands which must be met: 1. We must give every teacher a salary which is at least com- petitive with other good school systems and with other professions of a similar nature. 2. We must give them the prestige which can only come from being professionals. We must permit them to do a pro- fessional job and free them from as many of the non -pro- fessional activities as possible. 3. We must give them opportunities for leadership. Op- portunities to use their special competencies with their colleagues are necessary to satisfy the inborn leadership that exists in us all. To do this we must do what has been done in our team teaching schools and permit teachers to be leaders without leaving the instructional area. So often the only opportunity for advancement in the teaching profession has been to leave teaching, where a person has excelled, and become a less than good principal or superintendent. If we can guarantee our teachers a competitive salary, the prestige and oppor- tunity to be a professional, and real leadership opportunities, we can expect to maintain a high quality professional staff in our schools. The Crisis In Education Everyone is reading, hearing, and talking about the genuine crisis that faces education in these United States today. All the trends which presently exist tend to increase this problem for Lexington rather than to lessen it. Among the causes of this crisis these five factors are too well -known to most people to require dis- cussion here; their application to Lexington is nearly as apparent. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 237 One. The public school population in this country is growing at a very rapid rate. It might be emphasized that the rate of growth in Lexington is greater than that of our state or nation. Two. Although the demand for teachers exceeds the supply, the number of teachers presently being trained is not increasing. We are not helping the situations in Lexington. Last year out of a class of 315 only twelve planned to enter teaching. Experience tells us that only half of these will ever teach, but it was necessary for Lexington to employ 106 teachers. This shortage of 100 teachers had to be se- cured from other sources. Note that the need for teachers in Lexington is greater than that of the state or nation. Three. The cost of education is constantly increasing and the end is not in sight. Our major expenditure is for salaries and wages. Four. There is demand for more state and federal aid to education. Such ad- ditional funds would sound helpful, but one must remember that the money comes from the same pocketbooks. Its only real value to Lexington might be in trans- ferring some of the tax burden from property to income or sales. The amount of such aid to Lexington will be very small. Much federal and state aid will be given to the less affluent cities and towns, thus making it possible for their salary scales to become competitive with those of the suburban towns. When this occurs, Lex- ington may lose any advantages it has had in recent years as a result of having better salary scales. Five. We are all aware of the demand for an even higher quality of education than that which presently exists. This, in turn, requires a higher quality of per- sonnel with more and better training, and these superior teachers need to have more time for planning, teaching, evaluating, and developing curriculum. These factors, taken together, indicate in a broad fashion the crisis that we face. Stated simply and in summary fashion: It will be very difficult and perhaps not possible to secure enough highly qualified trained personnel to fill all the avail- able teaching positions which result from the ever - increasing enrollment of our schools, and to improve or even maintain the high quality of education we want for our children. What may be done to meet this crisis in education for the nation, for the state, and particularly for Lexington? A great deal of thought is being given to these problems throughout the country, and a number of ideas are being tried out that seem to offer promise of being helpful. Let us refer to some of them. If teachers can be relieved of non - teaching chores, more of their time can be spent on their most important duty for which they are especially prepared, namely, teaching. It is true that study halls, lunchrooms and corridors have to be super- vised before, during and after school, and there are duties of a clerical nature, such as recording attendance, making monthly summaries, and maintaining student scholastic records on permanent record cards and on report cards. There are a host of duties relating to the daily routine of the school and the housekeeping duties of the room. There are also the clerical duties of typing and duplicating materials which permit a great deal more efficient use of the time in instructing the pupils. It is obvious that all of these routines and clerical responsibilities of teachers can be done as well, if not better, by people without special training in teaching. The wages paid to those who can take care of these non - teaching duties in an entirely satisfactory manner would be about half of what is presently paid a teacher. 238 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT One result of relieving teachers of these duties would be to use the mony saved in non - professional salaries to get more superior teachers. In addition, the teachers, relieved of non- teaching duties, can spend more of their time in searching out and developing more and better instructional materials, in planning more effective teaching techniques, in checking and correcting pupils' work, giving individual help, and evaluating pupils' progress. At the Franklin and Estabrook Schools we have been successful in proving that teacher and clerical aides can carry out many of the activities for which teachers are presently responsible, thus releasing teachers for more professional work. Our studies have indicated that the pupils in these two schools are doing as well, academically and in personal adjustment, as are those in our other schools, and the program is interesting many highly desirable teachers in considering the pos- sibility of teaching in Lexington. Releasing teachers from routine or clerical responsibilities can help with the teacher shortage because such duties would be carried out by others. Among the other means being tried in Lexington and elsewhere to make it possible to pay higher salaries, to employ fewer teachers, and to get equal or better achievements from the instruction, some, although unconventional, show promise of becoming of great importance. Certain types of instruction can he given to large groups of pupils efficiently. This takes a teacher with special skills who has given a great deal of time to pre- paring the instruction for each class. It includes the preparation of audio - visual materials and carefully thought -out plans about what may be taught and how to teach it. Whether this is a personal lecture or a film projected on a screen or televised instruction, it gives to all of the pupils in the group the benefit of special talents and training of capable teachers and the opportunity of making use of unusual illustrative materials. In this way it gives to all pupils an unusual opportunity to receive the best instruction of this kind. At the same time, it relieves the teacher of the necessity of teaching this material over and over to the smaller groups of ordinary -sized classes. This time saved in large group instruction is then available for teaching other types of material, which needs individual participation, to smaller groups of pupils. Thus, planning to teach the subject matter to large groups, medium groups or small groups, as best fits the nature of that material, leads to more effective instruction. Other kinds of studies need to be made. Is it necessary for a teacher to meet youngsters four or five times a week in the areas of English or history? It is not necessary at the college level. Is it necessary at the twelfth grade level? The eleventh grade level? The tenth grade level? No one is sure of the answer, but certainly these studies may lead to other improvements. Is it also possible, for example, at the junior and senior high school level to copy other aspects of the college programs which have proven successful? Reading periods preceding examinations and time for the proper development of source themes are possibilities worth considering. Some of the techniques being developed in connection with teaching machines may have some merit. Experimentation in the teaching of algebra in one school in Raleigh, Virginia, indicated that those youngsters who used teaching machines did as well as those who did not, and they completed their program in half the SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 239 240 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT time. The use of some of these gadgets may be the answer to releasing teachers for the more important task of working with the individual youngster. Help may then be available when he needs it. Contract correcting of English papers has been used successfully in many projects throughout the United States. Newton, Concord and Quincy in our im- mediate area have had considerable success with this program. Perhaps this is one way of being helpful to our English teachers so that they may spend a major portion of their time directly educating youngsters. Certainly one factor to which we should give major consideration is a way of scheduling some students for independent study. Capable students should have; opportunities to reach educational growth far beyond those usually provided in today's schools. To accomplish these purposes we need to furnish time for inde- pendent work in libraries, laboratories, shops, creative art studios, homemaking suites, and the like. We need to give students time for individual activities and to provide them with the necessary instruments so that they may make an immediate appraisal of their achievements. These, then, are possibilities that should be considered in future years in meet- ing the crisis that we face in education. They might make it possible to pay higher salaries to obtain excellent teachers, thus leading to a higher quality of instruction. Certainly they might lead to more individual instruction. All of the activities suggested are being used in many schools throughout the country and with considerable success. We must try them if we are to continue a high quality educational program in the years ahead. With thanks: The high quality of the educational program offered the youth of Lexington can only be attributed to the demands of the citizens of Lexington. To the degree that our citizens continue to support this kind of education can we expect a quality education to be available to our youngsters. The citizens of Lexington owe a debt of gratitude to many boards and com- mittees of Lexington for their continued efforts and support of our educational program. The Board of Selectmen headed by Mrs. Ruth Morey; the Appropriations Com- mittee headed by Mr. John Blaisdell; the Capital Expenditures Committee headed by Mr. Donald P. Noyes; the Sites Committee headed by Mr. Gordon E. Steele, and particularly the Building Committee headed by Dr. Austin W. Fisher, Jr. deserve the highest commendation from us all. Without question the Building Committee has spent more time on the problem of Lexington's schools than any other com- parable committee. Each and every member of this group deserves not only the thanks of every youngster in Lexington today but also the thanks of those who may be in our schools in the next fifty years. In the reports that follow, the tremendous progress that has been made in the operations of our schools will be indicated. These improvements are the natural results of having a staff of administrators and specialists who are hospitable to attempts to improve, and a corps of loyal, able teachers whose dedicated efforts are bringing about more effective instruction. Above all, a successful educational program requires good teachers. Lexington is fortunate in its outstanding admin- istrative and instructional staff. It would be impossible to close this report without commenting on our School Committee. They have met in regular and special sessions over forty times during the past year and have attended innumerable other functions devoted to the im- provement of our educational program. In addition, each member of the Com- mittee — separate and in small groups — has spent innumerable hours studying records, reports, and research dealing with our program and with programs of other communities; and conferring with and advising your Superintendent of Schools. In every respect your School Committee is carrying on the high traditions of Lex- ington's prior school committees. We are proud of them all. To each and every member of our School Com- mittee goes not only the sincere thanks of its Superintendent of Schools but, through, him, the thanks of the entire professional and non - certificated staff of the Lexington Public Schools. Without an outstanding School Committee there would not be outstanding Lexington Schools. MEDILL BAIR, Superintendent of Schools SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 241 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES 1. Personnel The structure of the Instructional Services Division was immeasurably strength- ened when Manfred L. Warren, Principal of the Lexington High School for 33 years, was elevated to the post of Assistant Director of Instructional Services on January 1, 1961. His many years of experience in the Lexington School System was brought into the central office so that it could be used more effectively on a town -wide basis. Especially valuable are his contacts with the many colleges in New England in the area of recruitment of staff. Following closely on this appointment were other changes which had a great effect on improving education in Lexington. Charles C. Johnson moved from principal of William Diamond Junior High School to become principal of the Lex- ington High School. His position was taken by John' M. Hibbard, formerly assistant high school principal, with responsibilities for curriculum improvement. David S. Terry was appointed acting principal for the Muzzey Junior High School on January 1, when Merrill F. Norlin resigned. This arrangement held until April 17, 1961, when Charles M. Howard assumed the principalship of Muzzey Junior High School. Alexander B. Cumming became principal of the 'Estabrook School. Donald E. Johnson, formerly principal of two elementary schools in Danvers, Massachusetts, replaced him as principal of the Harrington School. All these changes coming on January 1, 1961 helped to strengthen the over- all structure for improving teaching and learning in the schools represented by these changes. At the Lexington High School Howard C. Llewellyn was appointed acting head of the business education department. He brings to this a very fine background and excellent experience to strengthen this part of the high school program. The addition of personnel in the area of art, music, and physical education at the elementary level helped to strengthen these departments. 2. New School The Joseph Estabrook School was formally opened in September 1961 with an enrollment of just under 500 children. This building has already demonstrated that excellent educational facilities contribute a great deal toward making good instruction possible. During the summer this school was used for the training of teachers under the Harvard- Lexington Summer School Program. Here over 500 children from Lex- ington and nearby communities were given an opportunity for additional instruc- tion for a six -week period. During this time teachers from various parts of the United States came as students to observe team teaching in operation. 3. Summer Curriculum Workshops For the second successive summer Lexington has profited by having forty teach- ers working for one month to improve the present curriculum. Working under the direction of principals at the elementary and secondary level, these teachers were 242 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT engaged in preparing curriculum guides in the areas of art, physical education, elementary science, elementary mathematics, Advanced Program, and reading. In addition, a new program at the Lexington High School known as "basic studies," for pupils in grade ten, was developed by five teachers. During the school year the time and energy of teachers is limited as far as improving the curriculum is concerned. Accordingly, by utilizing staff during the summer progress can be made in this direction. The enthusiasm of those who have worked on these programs during the past two summers has carried over into their classrooms as well as into the classrooms of other teachers for whom mate- rials have been developed. This is one of the more exciting projects of the many already under way in Lexington. 4. Athletics In the field of athletics, particularly football, the school system has taken forward strides. With the appointment of John C. Janusas, formerly a teacher and coach at Saugus, and a Lexington resident for many years, the football situation at the Lexington High School took a giant step forward. More boys came out for the various teams than in the past, and their performance on the field did a great deal toward arousing spirit and interest in athletics both in the Lexington High School and throughout the community. Mr. Janusas had very able assistance from Nathan N. Todaro, also newly ap- pointed as a coach along with other staff members, William S. Nichols and Richard J. Mullins. 5. Libraries Reference will be made in a report by the Coordinator of Instructional Mate- rials and Services of the need for more adequate library services in Lexington. Tremendous public support has enabled Sara Jaffarian to bring about great im- provements in the libraries at the Adams, Fiske, Harrington, and Hastings ele- mentary schools. Improvements are already under way in other schools. 6. Other Changes and Improvements Many other things have been done to strengthen the offerings for boys and girls in Lexington. For example, spelling has been given special emphasis in the Hancock, Harrington, and Parker schools. Social studies in several of our ele- mentary schools is being studied very carefully, particularly by using multi -texts in every case. In the Advanced Program. classes in grades five and nine were added during the past year, and plans are to add classes in the sixth and tenth grade next year. This means by the end of 1962 classes will be in operation in grades three through ten. 7. Mathematics In relation to the curriculum, probably the greatest effort has been toward the improvement of mathematics. Working under the direction of Augustus W. Young, principal of the Fiske School, nine teachers worked one month during the summer studying mathematics. Two consultants, Dr. Robert Davis from Syracuse University and Dr. Fred Weaver of Boston University, were retained to assist with SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 243 244 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT this work. Here the Madison Project materials and the S.M.S.G. materials (School Mathmetic Study Group) were studied. These summer studies were followed up during the year by having an in- service workshop every other week using the serv- ices of Dr. Fred Weaver. Classes were held at the Fiske 'School, with over thirty teachers participating. Working cooperatively with Mr. Young was Kenneth Moyle, head of the mathematics department in the secondary schools in Lexington. 8. Substitutes In addition to the many curriculum improvements which aim to help regular teachers a handbook for substitute teachers was developed by Lester E. Goodridge, Jr., principal of the Hancock School, and Margery McKenney, principal of the Munroe School. Since many substitute teachers are employed during the year it was felt that everything possible should be done to help them be better prepared. Following the distribution of this booklet a series of meetings of substitute teach- ers were held to help them become better acquainted with the Lexington program. This is bound to have an effect in strengthening the education of the children in Lexington. 9. Consultants The use of consultants has been continued in Lexington and people have come into the school system from many parts of the country. Reference has already been made to the work of Dr. Davis and Dr. Weaver. Added to these is the work of Dr. Stuart Dean, specialist in elementary school administration and organization in the U. S. Office of 'Education. He spent three days during the summer of 1961 working with all of the principals, reviewing what was going on in Lexington and bringing to the group the experiences he has had in traveling throughout the United States. Specifically, he was attempting to identify outstanding school sys- tems in the country where Lexington could draw upon their resources for additional ideas and help. Consultants of national statute have been bringing to Lexington excellent ideas, and in doing so have sharpened the awareness of the staff to many fine things going on in other school systems. 10. Problems Great improvements have been made in the schools during recent years. The next five -year period will bring even greater improvements as new technologies in the field of teaching and learning are understood and developed by our staff. Naturally, as improvements are made or attempted problems arise. Probably the outstanding problem facing Lexington in the immediate future is the location, selection, training, and up grading of the most competent teachers that can be found. Once these people have been brought to Lexington, the community has the problem of providing housing in order that they may be able to live here. Since over 60% of our staff live outside of Lexington, it seems only reasonable to point out that the community is losing something by not having them as residents. Another problem facing the administration is how to find the time and money to release teachers from non - teaching duties. If we can utilize our professional staff to its fullest then great gains can be made for the children of Lexington. We need to pursue the idea of releasing staff from such duties as supervising lunchrooms, monitoring study halls, and performing clerical tasks. Once we can do this, teachers will find they can put more time and effort into their teaching, thus improving the learning opportunities for children. In summary, this has been a busy, exciting and demanding year. In the im- mediate future even greater demands will be made on the staff. With the encour- agement of the community, through outstanding citizens elected to the School Committee, the Lexington school system is going forward to great heights, and the future for the children in Lexington appears exceptionally bright. Respectfully submitted, PAUL F. POEHLER, December 31, 1961 Director of Instructional Services. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 245 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL The year 1961 at the Lexington High School has been another year of growth both in enrollment and in effectiveness. An increase of approximately 150 pupils has stretched our facilities to the utmost. Our enrollment of 1,215 already exceeds the capacity of the auditorium and requires 7 overlapping shifts in the lunchroom. Classrooms are used continuously, and most are shared by two or more teachers. An expected increase of almost 150 next year will really tax our ingenuity as well as our facilities. It is gratifying to report that our growth has not only been in numbers. There has been increasing evidence of the effectiveness of our program both in the per- formances of our pupils and graduates, and in our increasingly wide- spread reputa- tion for quality education. Another fine record in college and vocational place- ment, excellent reports from our graduates, many of whom earned advanced place- ment in college, a strong showing in the National Merit Scholarship Examinations, and more than usual early acceptances by leading colleges are among the indica- tions that we are offering strong preparation for college or vocation. There has been a continuous increase in visitations from educators from this country and abroad, and in requests for cooperation with universities and other schools in research and development projects. We receive many more requests than we can handle to assist in the training of future teachers. These are some of the evidences of our growing reputation. Some of the most significant developments of the year 1961 are: 1. The introduction of the Basic Studies Program in grade 10. In this Program, a limited number of selected pupils who have experienced difficulty with academic work are given a more individualized program emphasizing basic skills and understandings. A team of teachers representing the area of English, social studies, math, and science in cooperation with the Guidance Department coordinate their planning and teaching and follow closely the the progress of each pupil. 2. The appointment of a full -time reading specialist has made possible remedial attention to a number of pupils whose progress has been blocked by reading weakness. 3. The addition of another Guidance Counselor at the High School and the organization of a department of Pupil Personnel Services under Dr. Henry L. lsaksen has greatly increased the services we can offer our students in; educational, vocational, and personal counseling. 4. The employment of two full -time librarians has increased service to pupils and teachers, and accelerated the processing of a rapidly growing collection. 5. A reduction in the number of students assigned to each English teacher has permitted much greater attention to the development of sound writing skills. 6. Additions to the boys' physical education staff has resulted in opportunities for more corrective work, an expansion of the intramural sports program, to say nothing about a very successful football season. 7. Lexington High School has joined two other public schools and four private schools in a program to initiate studies of Chinese language and culture by selected students in the Boston area. 246 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 8. The addition to the schedule of laboratory periods for physics and chemistry has made possible more intensive instruction in these subjects. 9. Although activity periods within the school day have had to be curtailed, neither interest nor quality seem to have suffered. The "High Spot" has improved in appearance and reading interest, musical and dramatic pro- ductions have maintained their usual high standards, and the student council has increased in prestige and service. The use of late buses has contributed to the activity and intramural programs, and, what is more important, has encouraged extra help and library use. 10. Mathematics instruction has kept pace with new developments in this field at all grade levels. An additional opportunity to study probabilities and matrix algebra has been offered seniors this year. 11. As a joint project with Boston University, a unit introducing anthropological concepts in the study of mankind will be offered to an 11th grade social studies class. Three university graduate students will participate under the supervision of Mr. Joseph Gibson. 12. Many staff members have had unique opportunities for professional growth during 1961. Mr. Cheever completed his sabbatical year of European travel and study in September. Joseph Gibson returned to us after a year as a John Hay Fellow at the University of Chicago. Olive Hall enjoyed a John Hay summer program in France. James Coffin has started a sabbatical year of study at Boston University. Many of our teachers attended summer institutes, workshops, and courses. In 1961, planning began in earnest for additional secondary school facilities needed by 1964. The summer referendum presented a setback in the timetable, but careful review of requirements has continued with the assistance of high school staff members pending decisions to be made next March in town meeting. Growth in numbers and reputation and increasing interest in the high school program by Lexington citizens present to the high school staff a challenge which they gladly accept. Efforts will continue to strengthen our program and to make it better fit the diverse needs of our students. The staff continues to study the recommendations of the Citizens Committee, the Harvard Field Study, and the NEACSS Evaluation Committee. Many of the innovations mentioned above stem from these reports. We welcome further assistance in our continuing search for better ways to achieve our goals. December 31, 1961 Respectfully submitted, CHARLES C. JOHNSON, Principal SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 247 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE WILLIAM DIAMOND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The following is my first annual report as principal of the William Diamond Junior High School. The past school year has been a period of continued development and progress. As in any new, perceptive school situation the staff and student body have worked diligently to establish, assess, and revise when necessary, the policies and pro- cedures required for an effective school operation. The principal, assuming his duties on January 1, 1961, was afforded an un- usual opportunity to observe and evaluate a fine school in action. The initial impression of the excellent quality of the program has withstood the test of time. The groups and individuals responsible for the degree of competency developed in such a brief period are to be commended. As we review the past year we perceive the establishment of and reinforcement of those standards, traditions, and occasions that are so necessary to the heritage of any institution. Significant among these are: The initiation of the first members of the William Diamond Chapter of the National Junior High School Honor Society. The ceremony was very ably conducted by the members of the Honor Society at Muzzey Junior High School. The impressive development of the Related Arts Program. The group per- formed for and was highly received by the PTA, the faculties and student bodies of our own and neighboring schools. In addition, the individuals responsible for the Related Arts Program have pro- vided an opportunity for all interested students to attend such cultural activities as. the Opera, Ballet, and Arts Festival. The success of our students in mathematics, spelling, and art competitions with students from other schools. The successful inauguration of a full -scale program of intramural and inter- - scholastics athletics. The orientation program at all grade levels but specifically to prepare the incoming students for the transition to William Diamond Junior High School. The administration and guidance staff visited with those seventh grade students sched- uled to attend this school and, with the parents in a special evening meeting to explain the program and answer questions. In addition, the student council sponsored an orientation visit in order that all the incoming students could have the opportunity to observe the school in action. The initial summer school program for seventh and eighth grade students, which was sponsored by the Lexington School Department and Harvard University, was held during July and August. On September 7, 1961, school commenced for the 1961 -62 academic year with a total enrollment of 873 students and a staff of 69: Grade 7 — 295 Staff - Professional — 52 Grade 8 — 296 Secretarial — 2 Grade 9 — 282 Cafeteria — 9 Custodial — 6 248 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT There were several modifications of the program as recommended by the staff based upon the experiences of the past year and the increased enrollment. The schedule was modified from a seven- to a six - period school day in an effort to secure effective staff and plant utilization, and at the same time, maintain a fav- orable pupil- teacher ratio. Major subjects are now scheduled to meet four times a week instead of five but with no appreciable loss of total instructional time per week. This change provides opportunities for: An increased flexibility of scheduling and grouping — thus, more effective utilization of time and staff for large and small group instruction. An increase in the time alloted for the study of languages. Increased opportunities for more youngsters to assume the study of a language. Additional opportunities for 9th grade students to take part in music, art, in- dustrial arts and homemaking. Individualized programming. 'Fewer conflicts in scheduling remedial and developmental instruction. Greater use of the library facilities. In addition, each seventh grade student has been assigned one special library period per week. The Activity Program has been rescheduled, primarily, to after formal school hours. Through this modification we have released teachers from extra supervisory duties thus providing more time for extra help or make -up work. The change was possible as the School Committee provided late bus service. Each department is continuously evaluating and refining their curricula. Ex- amples of recent changes in course content are: English: Revision of the course of study in literature. Social Studies: The introduction of a two year sequential course in World Civil- ization commencing in the ninth grade. .Math: The Illinois Program is being presented to one eighth grade section as this department seeks the best of the new approaches to modern mathe- matics. Science: The success of the new and radical approach to science has been most gratifying. However, this department is continuing to seek improvement. Languages: French —more emphasis on conversation at the seventh grade level. Art: A well defined curriculum guide was developed in a workshop this sum- mer. Music: A ninth grade elective has been added with a total of 125 students participating each week. The above statements should not imply that we are satisfied with the status quo. We recognize the need for improvement in some areas and development in others. As this report is written our attention is focused upon: SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 249 250 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT More effective evaluating and reporting procedures. Improved methods of communication between the home and school. Greater opportunities for remedial instruction in all areas. A Program of instruction tailored specifically for students of limited academic ability. In conclusion, I should like to express my appreciation of and respect for the entire staff and student body at the William Diamond Junior High School. In a few short years they have developed a tradition and reputation of which we are very proud. The quality of achievement and leadership which has made this pos- sible is simply a reflection of the personality and character of the groups involved. Respectfully submitted, JOHN M. HIBBARD, December 31, 1961 Principal REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE MUZZEY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL These are exciting and challenging times for people who are professionally associated with public education. The excitement is to be found in the rapid changes that are taking place in public school curriculum, teaching methods, organization, physical facilities, and special services. The challenge is to be found in the fact that, though we must improve educa- tion for today's children, the changes we make must be co- linear with a vastly different kind of education for tomorrow's children. The Lexington Public Schools are deeply involved in the processes of change and improvement. It is for this reason that I haje found Lexington to be an ex- citing and challenging place in which to work. The job of the faculty of Muzzey Junior High School is to provide a middle school experience, for a very special age group of children, that will help them to learn more in a shorter period of time, give them a sense of self -worth and a respect, if not a love, for leamirig. To those ends we are changing, or have changed, in the following ways: The instruction time in English, social studies, mathematics, science, and physical education has been increased. A new emphasis has been placed on helping more children to overcome a wider range of reading problems. More children are starting to study French in grade seven. We are examining our marking and reporting procedure with hopes of producing a report card that will be more meaningful to pupils and parents. Better grouping procedures and guidance facilities are producing more individ- ualized programs for pupils. A three part pupil government is providing more leadership opportunities for children. The laboratory period is giving all pupils an opportunity to choose, from many worthwhle activities, an area in which to explore their interests and talents. These are some of the changes that are taking place at Muzzey Junior High School to improve education for today's children. We are looking forward to other changes which will provide an even better education for tomorrow's children. Al- most any junior high school educational program will soon be obsolete if it does not provide language laboratories, science laboratories, reading laboratories, cur- riculum laboratories, large -group instruction areas, teaching machines, closed- circuit television and cooperative faculty teaching. However, the one indispensable element in the success of any educational pro- gram is the teacher. As curriculum, grouping, marking and teaching method changes so, too, must the teacher change. Today's teacher is caught up in the rapidly moving progress that is being made in education. He must acquire new attitudes, new skills, and new information. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 251 He must become more involved with the why's and how's of his profession. He must be familiar with the latest educational trends and research. He must be able to work well with his fellow teachers as well as pupils. He must be able to accept the role of leader as well as follower. He must be ready to cope with the uncomfortable process of re- examining his own attitudes and beliefs, as they affect his behavior and that of his pupils. These are the thoughts of a principal who is proud of the faculty of Muzzey Junior High School. He is very optimistic that, as we work together, we will meet today's problems and tomorrow's challenges in education, thereby providing a better middle school experience for each boy and girl. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES E. HOWARD, Principal December 31, 1961 252 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND SERVICES As has been indicated in reports of previous years, much of the work of the Office of Instructional Materials and Services is reflected in the reports of others. The advisory nature of this work and the fact that it affects all grade levels and all subjects makes it possible to present only briefly some of the highlights and some of the problems faced during 1961. Under the supervision of the Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services, Lexington's audio - visual program has developed rapidly and is recognized as one of the outstanding programs in New England. However, the inadequacy of our school library program, particularly in meeting the needs of our elementary school children, has been of great concern to teachers and parents alike. The Lexington Schools are fortunate in having secured the services of Miss Sara Jaffarian to serve in the Office of Instructional Materials and Services as Coordinator of School Li- braries. Miss Jaffarian was formerly Supervisor of School Libraries for the Seattle, Washington Public Schools and, prior to that was Supervisor of School Libraries in Greensboro, North Carolina. She is active in the American Library Association, having helped to write the A. L. A.'s Standards for School Libraries. During the fall, Miss Jaffarian has been working with principals, teachers and parent volunteers in organizing the library services of the elementary schools. An additional librarian at the senior high has helped improve library services there, but each of the secondary schools still comes far below A. L. A. standards in both amount of materials and number of staff. A long period of increased assistance to this area of the school program, both in staff and in materials, is necessary before any of Lexington's schools can meet, much less surpass, national standards for school libraries. Over a nine -week period during the fall of 1961, elementary teachers new to Lexington received instruction in the operation and methods of use of all the audio- visual equipment available in each school. In spite of the rapid technological advances in education, most teacher training institutions still do not require teachers to be familiar with the operation of such valuable teaching tools as the overhead projector, tape recorder, motion picture projector and the like. This leaves the local school system with the problem of providing in- service training in both opera- tion and effective methods of teaching with modern teaching devices. Lexington offers this in- service program to new teachers in each school on a voluntary at- tendance basis, and this year over 50 teachers attended the program. In some buildings, many of the veteran teachers took advantage of this opportunity to brush up on modern teaching techniques. This office was active in the Harvard- Lexington summer school program, working both with the demonstration teachers and the graduate student personnel in the development of instructional materials and the exploration of new teaching techniques. Arrangements were made for a workshop, conducted by the Tecnifax Corporation, in the production of projected materials, and many useful slides were produced during the summer school session. The loan of closed-circuit television equipment by the J. S. Eaton Company made possible several demonstration - lectures over this medium. Near the end of the summer school, one classroom became a studio in which some youngsters from Delta Team produced a televised drama as a culminating activity to their study of SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 253 the Hawaiian Islands. Later, at the dedication exercises of Estabrook School, this same equipment with monitors in two classrooms gave a front -row seat to those who could not be seated in the play -hall. The educational potential of closed - circuit television seems to be limited only by the imagination with which it is used. Other activities organized and carried out by the Office of Instructional Ma- terials included the annual Instructional Materials Exhibit for teachers in March, a Business -in- Education Day in October, at which time over 30 of Lexington's busi- ness leaders visited our schools, and a League of Women Voters Day with visits by 60 ladies of that group. On the debit side of the ledger remains the need for an elementary school film library, as outlined in last year's report and a report of no progress on a central professional resources center. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD G. WOODWARD, Coordinator of Instructional Materials and Services December 31, 1961 254 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF THE ADVANCED PROGRAM The Advanced Program, designed to meet the needs of children of exceptional academic ability, is in its third year in Lexington. At Fiske and Adams Elementary Schools, there are classes for Grades III, IV and V; at Hancock School, a third grade class began in September, 1961. At both William Diamond and Muzzey Junior High Schools, provisions are made for Advanced Program groups at each grade. level. In the fall of 1962, the first pupils from these classes will enter the Senior High School. In several areas, the past year has brought definite progress. First, teachers and administrators have had opportunities to listen to outstand- ing experts in work with gifted children. Dr. Cyril Woolcock of the Hunter College School for Gifted Children spoke to teachers concerned with the Advanced Program. In November 1961, Dr. Philip Kraus, Director of New York City's Gifted Child Project, addressed parents and teachers. Each met with administrative personnel for consultation about our Program. Conferences held at Lexington brought teachers from the public schools of Cambridge, Brookline, Concord, Weston, Newton, Malden and the private schools, Browne- Nichols and Buckingham, to exchange ideas as to materials and methods suitable for work with advanced classes. Curriculum revision in our own school system has been furthered by summer workshops in mathematics, science and social studies and by planned efforts of teachers, department heads and principals. By the end of this year, the basic outlines for the three years of junior high work will be completed. The elementary program will need one more year to complete plans for the sixth grade. Obviously, curriculum improvement is a continuous process. The establishment of the Pupil Personnel Services Division provides expert ad- vice on problems of specialized testing and pupil readiness for placement in the Program. During the winter of 1962, a series of meetings of Advanced Prograrn parents with Dr. Henry L.__Isaksen and selected members of his staff will provide an opportunity for discussion of topics related to family and community adjustment. Three years of attention to the Program and the unique needs of the children in it have taught us much of value to use in other classes. Sharing of units and materials and adaptation of techniques first used by Advanced Program groups may enrich a total school program. Some problems connected with the Program are problems familiar to any citizen aware of needs in education: recruitment of high quality teachers, provision of adequate materials and equipment, establishment of training programs for teachers, more effective grouping for learning, better methods of teaching, and time for teachers to develop more effective educational programs. Respectfully submitted, DR. C. C. MURRAY, Coordinator of Advanced Program December 31, 1961 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 255 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES The Administrative Services Division is responsible for the management anJ operational activities of the Lexington Public Schools. These functions make avail- able those services which create an atmosphere in which children can be better educated. This division endeavors to make it possible for children to be educated in the most efficient manner. This is done by seeing that there are sufficient materials with which to work, that there are necessary funds budgeted to purchase these materials and equipment, that there are physical facilities conducive to good learn- ing and teaching, that pupils are transported to and from school, that employees are paid, that students have lunch programs, and innumerable other activities. Some of the more significant responsibilities will be mentioned in this report. Transportation. Starting in September of 1961 approximately 2,500 public school children . and parochial school children were being transported in accordnace with Mass- achusetts and Lexington laws and regulations. These figures represent a decrease in the number of public school children being transported as a result of the open- ing of the Joseph Estabrook School and redistricting of school population. There has been, however, an increase in the number of parochial school children trans- ported. To transport all students a contract is entered into with the Middlesex & Boston St. Railway Company at 65c per mile travelled. There are 20 buses assigned to the Lexington school trips, covering approximately 900 miles per day. There are some elementary students being transported on an emergency basis because of lack of sidewalks and other safety factors, even though they live within the one -mile limit of the school which they attend. One of the new features of the transportation services is the provision of late buses for secondary school students who stay after school for extra help and pro- ject work. Accounting and Purchasing There has been a marked increase in the volume of transactions relating to the acquisition of materials, supplies and equipment for the school system. The follow- ing figures indicate the trend: Number of Number of Year Bills Processed Orders Processed 1959 4,224 2,839 1960 5,570 3,558 1961 6,210 4,374 The three staff members who work in this area, and who also do the accounting for the Athletic and Out -of -State Travel budgets, as well as the purchasing and ac- counting of equipment for new buildings, have been able to handle this increased volume because of the purchase of an accounting machine in 1960. The account- ing machine has made it unnecessary to add additional staff to the accounting sec- tion or to the payroll section. In addition, reports are now prepared in greater de- tail affording closer supervision of expenditures and account balances. The School 256 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Committee and the principal of each school now receive monthly statements show- ing unencumbered funds and cash balances for each live item in the budget. Early in 1961 a new requisition - purchase order form was designed and put in use which has reduced by one -half the typing time of orders. The form is now being copied by other school systems because of its work - reducing feature. Payroll The Personal Services, or salary and wages section of the school budget, is about 80% of the appropriations for the operation of the Lexington schools. This percentage has remained fairly constant even though the number of employees has increased each year in accordance with enrollments, new buildings, and expand- ing services and programs. No. of Profes- No. of non- certifi- Year sional Employees cated Employees 1959 1960 1961 305 336 392 112 122 141 Total Employees 417 458 533 The two persons who have responsibilities in this area have been able to handle these increased payroll functions through the use of the aforementioned machine. By use of this equipment many operations are now done simultaneously, thereby reducing the necessity for added personnel. In addition to preparing payrolls this section is concerned with teachers' retire- ments, state and federal reports, insurance, census, Public Law #874, pupil ac- counting, employment certificates, personnel and financial references, evening practical arts and vocational education, tuition and transportation payments. Custodial During 1961 an evaluation has been made of the housekeeping services avail- able in each of our buildings. The Citizens' Advisory Committee for Maintenance and Operations made a careful analysis of the custodial staff needed in each build- ing. Lists of duties were investigated, using a head custodian's typical day and a regular custodian's day to determine major responsibilities. Careful scrutiny was was given to coverage, determined by square footage and also rooms per man. The committee indicated that maintaining the present ratios was reasonable, but that increasing the number of custodians at any facility beyond present ratios could not be justified. The housekeeping in Lexington's Public Schools has resulted in many favorable comments from townspeople and visitors to our system. These results can be attrib- uted to a staff proud of their buildings and dedicated to clean, attractive facilities for Lexington's children. Maintenance of Plant The maintenance and repair of the thirteen school buildings is a continuing responsibility. The replacement value of the present school buildings is estimated at approximately fourteen and three quarter million dollars. To keep these build- ings in good repair and operating efficiently, the Lexington School system has a staff of four maintenance men under the able leadership of Mr. William P. Casey, head of maintenance, repairs and custodians. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 257 Because of staff limitations, and because it can be more economical to do so in some instances, larger repair projects are contracted to outside firms. It is felt that this is in the best economic interests of the town. The preventative mainten- ance and smaller repair projects can be most economically handled by our own staff. Some of the major contributions made in 1961 by this operation are: Senior High School Continuation of a program of repairs to the roof of this building. 'Establishment of an additional classroom in the new wing of this building by partitioning one of the larger classrooms. Muzzey Junior High School Replacement of the fire doors which was recommended by the insurance under- writers. Removal and replacement of fifty -eight cast stone window sills, which were defective as a result of cracking or spalling, with new sills of Indiana limestone. Construction of a guidance center consisting of offices and a reception area. Adams School Improvement to the lunch room area by removing a partition, allowing for an expansion of eating space. Relocation of lighting in one of the lunch rooms. Installation of an acoustically tiled ceiling. Renovation of a shop area, previously used by the special classes. Fiske School Continuation of a program of roof repairs. Re-establishment of the auditorium- gymnasium to its original use as a result of removing the temporary partitions installed last year to make this a classroom area. Franklin School Improved lighting in the old section of the building. Replacement of the main cold water pipes throughout the building. Hancock School Construction of extensive hot topping for physical education use. Establishment of a pupil - personnel conference area. Provision for additional office area on the third floor. 258 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Harrington School Construction of a Dental Clinic area by partitioning an area off the cafeteria. Conversion of an area for library use. Maria Hastings School Conversion of special rooms to classroom use. Establishment of a teachers' dining area. Munroe School Relocation of the principal's office, the health room, and the teachers' lounge. General A number of programs were carried on which affected all buildings, such as painting, lighting, preventative maintenance of roofing, repairs of driveways and roads, oil burner overhaul, blind replacement, repair and installation of playground equipment, and repair of exterior doors and hardware. Bookcases, cabinets, bulletin boards, storage areas, refinishing of desks, re- placement of desk tops, replacement of windows, repair of auditorium seating, and general maintenance projects were also carried on. A project of general note was the installation of combination windows at some of the older elementary schools where it would have been necessary to start a costly program of replacement of sills, sash, frames and other component parts. This in- stallation was much more economical as it eliminated the need for complete win- dow replacement and, in addition, gave storm weather protection as well as window screens. The school maintenance staff painted the exterior of the School Administration Building on an experimental basis so that financial information could be gathered as to the feasability of in -house painting vs. outside contract painting. A number of additions have been made to the service of the maintenance oper- ation. A "call type" electrical and plumbing arrangement was initiated. A local elec- trician and a local plumber are now available, based on competitive bidding, to do all of the work of the Lexington Public Schools. This plan has the advantage of having a single person or company become familiar with the Lexington Public Schools and its buildings, which allows greater service in this area. This arrange- ment has proven economical and will be continued in 1962. The use of a spare custodian, who is available to substitute for custodians who are out ill, has allowed the maintenance staff to concentrate on the maintenance of buildings rather than substituting for custodians. This person also does mainten- ance work at the Senior High School when he is not serving as a stand -in custodian. Personnel In September of 1961 the School Committee voted to adopt a new Personnel Policies Guide applicable to non - certificated personnel. These policies were com- SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 259 piled in close cooperation with other Town departments, and in general the fea- tures are uniform with those used throughout the town. There was clarification of certain policies, and printed copies of these policies are now available to each em- ployee. The Wage Classification System, which became effective in April 1960, has proved to be successful in determining wages for the Lexington Public Schools' non - certificated personnel. This system has provided a sound policy for uniform treatment of employees working under similar circumstances. Employees have be- come conscious of the principles of fairness and equity, and of wage increases based on performance. The problem of recruiting has become less acute as a result of a more real- istic wage arrangement. However, it is still difficult to employ well - qualified, re- sponsible custodians, and it is still extremely difficult to hire qualified clerical help to work on a full -time basis. It will be necessary to continue to be alert to the wages and benefits being of- fered by "competitors" for this type employee. Lunch Program Fifty-five dedicated women are employed in nine cafeterias in the school sys- tem. These persons are under the supervision of Ethel L. Wright, Coordinator of the School Lunch Programs. The prime purposes of this program are to serve a balanced meal which will furnish one -third of each child's daily food requirements for good health and normal growth, at a reduced cost. The twenty -five cents each child pays for his lunch, plus the nine cents cash assistance from the Federal government, has been sufficient to pay for this pro - oram without cost to the Town of Lexington. The only funds included in the school budget are for salaries to the Coordinator of the program and her assistant, and for minor repairs to equipment. Lexington is one of the few communities which is able to operate a full program without funds from the town. More details on this program may be found in the report and financial state- ments of this program. Budgeting The preparation of the six separate budgets which make up the appropriation needed for the operation of the schools has been given a great deal of careful study. The six budgets: Salaries, Expenses, Out-of -State Travel, Athletics, Adult Education and Vocational Education, are made up after consultation with staff and administrators to determine the needs of the children of Lexington. Each budget, and items within that budget, is carefully scrutinized by a num- ber of people before being presented to the School Committee for revision and final approval. Needs are determined based on enrollments, program anud facilities. All items are well documented and justified. The budget building process and accounting procedures have been tailored to meet the recommended standards established by the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, as related to financial accounting for local and state school systems. This standardization of accounts has made the budget building process 260 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT much more efficient and has made the preparation of state and federal reports a much easier task. Each year more and more per pupil standards are being established for items in the school budget. These are determined after careful analysis of other com- munities and good practices in all areas. These standards establish per pupil costs for instructional items. It is imperative that continual analysis be given to these items. Conclusion In addition to the items specified, the Administrative Services Division of the Lexington Public Schools has responsibilities for rental of buildings, inventory of materials and equipment, issuance of employment permits, preparation of specifica- tions, securing of bids, storage and distribution of supplies, interpretation of pol- icies and coordination of school- system work with other Town departments. The personnel of this division understand the prime goals of education and work closely with others in promoting the best possible education for Lexington's children. This division's activities are not ends in themselves, but are services contributing to effective education. Respectfully submitted, MITCHELL J. SPI'RIS, Director of Administrative Servcies. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 261 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUPIL PERSONNEL SERVICES The position Director of Pupil Personnel Services was established officially as of July 1, 1961. This report, therefore, covers just the last half of the year. The readiness of the community for the development of a program of pupil personnel services was phenomenal. Hence much more has been accomplished in this short period of time than would normally have been possible. This report describes some of these accomplishments. However, it is also recognized that there is much yet to be done, and the report includes a statement regarding these areas. Turning to the recommendations made by the Citizens' Committee for Lexing- ton Public Schools with respect to guidance, it can be noted that most of these recommendations have been implemented almost completely. The Director of Pupil Personnel Services has been appointed and has concerned himself with the achieve- ment of the goals mentioned in the report. The Division of Pupil Personnel Serv- ices has been created and is headed by the Director. A social worker has been employed and clerical help has been provided for the counselors. The guidance facilities at the Lexington High School, while they have not been relocated, have been improved considerably by the addition of drapes which afford an adequate degree of privacy. In addition, some of the recommendations made by the Harvard Center for Field Studies concerning guidance have been implemented; others are in the process. More specifically, the following has been accomplished during the last half of 1961: 1. The area of Pupil Personnel Services has been quite clearly defined and the relationship between this phase of the school program and the other two phases, namely, administrative services and instructional services, has been fairly well de- termined. 2. A staff of pupil personnel specialists has been assembled, both by the addi- tion of people from outside the system and by the transfer of well - qualified people from within the system, to positions in this area. The staff presently consists of, in addition to the Director, a team of Counseling Consultants, (a full -time school psychologist, a half -time school psychologist, a school social worker or school ad- justment counselor, and an elementary guidance consultant), five school nurses, three elementary reading consultants, two full -time and two part -time secondary reading specialists, two speech and hearing therapists, a vice - principal for guidance at the Senior High School, and nine secondary school counselors. The people who hold these positions are all well - qualifed and most of them are experienced. The effectiveness of those members of the team who were previously in Lexington has been increased considerably by the fact that they are now part of a team with identifiable leadership and a rather high level of esprit de corps. This group meets as a staff at least once a month, and various units within the division meet more frequently to coordinate their activities and become more efficient in their various tasks. 3. The roles and functions of these various specialists have been defined, at least tentatively, in terms that are understandable and acceptable to most of the professional members of the staff of Lexington Public Schools. Of particular signif- icance is the role description of the secondary school counselor. This was developed in a series of meetings held during the spring and summer and refined in the subsequent meetings that were held during the fall. It was also amended on the basis of comments and suggestions that came from administrators and teachers after the first tentative draft was circulated. The most significant fact about this job 262 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT description is that it seems to place the counselor's role in proper perspective with that of the teacher and the administrator. It seems to be quite generally rec- cognized now within the system that counselors are not administrators and that they are not teachers, neither are they clerical workers. They are professionals in their own right who have a unique contribution to make to the educational program and they are professionally qualified to make this contribution. They are also in a position now to make it because they are not expected to do the administrative, clerical and instructional tasks that many of them have been expected to perform in the past. 4. A significant amount of help has been given to elementary teachers and principals by the team of Counseling Consultants. Whereas previously there was just one person, a school psychologist, available to work on pupil personnel prob- lems that developed at the elementary level, there is now a team of four people, each with a different type of professional skill and each able to contribute more as a member of the team than he could if working alone. The response of teachers, principals, parents, and children to their work has been particularly gratifying. So far as I know, it is quite unusual for children of elementary school age to refer themselves for the service of specialists of this kind, yet this is happening frequent- ly in Lexington and with some observable, positive results already. 5. The program of reading instruction at the elementary level has been con- siderably enhanced by the addition of two reading specialists in place of the re- medial reading teacher. These two people work with three schools each. Miss Elizabeth Howe works with the other three schools. They spend most of their time helping teachers to improve their reading instruction to the end that fewer remedial problems are occurring now at the elementary level. They have not lost sight of the fact that some remedial reading is still required, but the emphasis is on the prevention of reading difficulties rather than on remediation. Such remediation as is necessary is more effectively carried on in the classroom by the regular teacher with the help of the reading specialist. This might more properly be termed a developmental reading program. It should be noted, however, that this is not the case at the secondary level. With the limited staff at the secondary schools the emphasis is on remedial services, and it is not possible for one person at the high school, for example, to provide both a developmental reading program and the remedial services that are necessary for the students who are already there. 6. The speech and hearing therapy that is now available to students is much more adequate in that a second full -time staff member was added. The total school population is divided approximately evenly between these two therapists, and they work within the various buildings on a regularly scheduled basis, on the identification of students who have special speech and hearing needs and on the treatment of individuals and groups of students. An additional service that they render is that of consultation with teachers, principals, and others who are working with these students. 7. In the area of school health services, a fifth full -time nurse has been added. This gives fairly good coverage to the twelve schools. Health services are co- ordinated through a monthly meeting with the Director of Pupil Personnel Services, the school nurses and the school physicians. Also, a School Health Council has been established at the Franklin School as an experiment to see how helpful such a council can be in carrying out a positive program of health education within a given school. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 263 The Division of Pupil Personnel Services within the Lexington Public Schools has become a model for the development of similar programs in other school systems. Members of the staff have participated widely in conferences and meetings and have received numerous letters and phone calls requesting information about how the program is being developed here. Several descriptive articles have been written and have been accepted for publication. The Director has been invited by the editor of The Massachusetts Teacher to prepare an article for early publication telling the how and the why of the establishment of this division and what is ex- pected as a result of it. While the accomplishments listed above are considered quite significant, par- ticularly in view of the fact that the program has been in operation for such a short period of time, I would like also to point out that there are a number of areas that either are in need of improvement or that have not yet been examined carefully to date. The following comments concern some of these areas: 1. Testing Program. This has been an area of concern for some time. We are still quite uncertain as to just what the testing program should be or just how to make the best use of standardized tests. Some of the difficulty, it seems, arises from the fact that the basic assumptions underlying the testing program are seldom, if ever, questioned. The problem is complicated by the fact that testing is a big business, and for many years testing has been "promoted" to the point where most parents — and even some educators — are completely "sold" on them. It is my feeling that we should "start from scratch" in evaluating the place of tests in the educational program. This will involve much study and discussion and re- education of professional as well as non - professional people. How this can best be accom- plished has not been determined but it is my strong recommendation that serious consideration be given to this problem immediately. 2. Cumulative Records. A related problem is that of how to record and use information about students most effectively. Here again, the difficulty arises in . part from the fact that the basic assumptions concerning the value of information about students in the educational program have seldom, if ever, been questioned. Most cumulative record programs are built on the assumption that the more we know about a given student, the better job we can do in helping him through the educational program. It is my recommendation that machinery be established to study this and other basic assumptions as well as the specific details of recording and using information about students. 3. Placement of Students. This area includes grouping procedures at all grade levels, selection of students for the advanced program, early admissions at the first -grade level, and selection of students for special classes and special remedial services. Here again, I feel that some questions should be raised about the basic assumptions underlying our placement procedures. If the present philosophy is determined to be sound, then a good deal of effort needs to be expended in im- proving the practice in implementing this philosophy. The evidence indicates that, as in all school systems, a number of mistakes have been made in placing young- sters and that the procedures now in use are less than adequate. 4. Counseling at the Elementary Level. Even with the addition of another half- time psychologist, a school social worker, and a half -time elementary school coun- selor, the service at this level is quite inadequate. The role of the school counselor at the elementary level can now be quite clearly defined. It is not possible at this point, however, to determine just what the ratio of counselors to elementary stu- 264 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT dents should be. It is obvious, though, that one half -time counselor for nearly four thousand students is completely inadequate. 5. Coordination of Special Education. With the passage of Chapter 750 of the Public Law, which provides for special educational services for emotionally handi- capped children, the need for closer coordination of the program of special educa- tion is even greater. There are a number of children in Lexington who have emotional problems of such a serious nature that they cannot profit from the regular school program. There are also children with physical handicaps, children who are mentally retarded, and children who are educationally retarded whose needs require special efforts. It is recommended that consideration be given to the ap- pointment of a Coordinator of Special Education, perhaps on a part -time basis, to give special attention to this important area. 6. Developmental Reading at the Secondary Level. As indicated above, the read- ing program at the junior and senior high school levels is primarily, if not entirely, a remedial rather than developmental program. The need for more specialists in this area and for development of a broader program in reading is apparent. 7. Research. It is recognized that this is an area of concern to the other divi- sions as well as to the Division of Pupil Personnel Services. However, there are a number of problems in the area of research and evaluation in this division that con- cern us and that should be dealt with on some sort of an organized basis. Perhaps if someone were designated as Director or Coordinator of Research, something more definite could be accomplished in this area than has been to date. It- is conceivable that this task could be assigned to one of the present members of the staff in addition to his present load, or in place of a portion of it. 8. Counselor Education. It is my feeling that the responsibility for the educat- ing of school counselors and other specialists in the area of Pupil Personnel Services is shared by the public schools and the universities. It is my recommendation, therefore, that some sort of a formal relationship be established with the counselor education departments of one or more universities in the area and that a program be worked out which will not only provide help to these institutions in the training of counselors and other specialists, but that will also prose to be of value to the school system. Some preliminary discussions have already been held with repre- sentatives of Harvard and Boston University toward this end. 9. Continuing Services for Post -High School Citizens. At the moment, the avail- ability of counseling, placement, and other personnel services for graduates of the high school and other adults of the community is quite limited. Inasmuch as the school system assumes some responsibility for continuing education of people in the community, it would seem reasonable that they should also assume some re- sponsibility for providing these specialized services. Of particular significance is the need for educational and vocational counseling for women who are re- entering the labor force after having spent a period of years in bearing and rearing children. It is recognized that this is one of our most promising sources of recruitment of teachers and other professional, semi - professional, and skilled workers. It is recom- mended that consideration be given to the establishment of a guidance center for these and other adults in the community who may be in need of specialized help. It may appear to the reader as if the rather lengthy list of areas needing im- provement enumerated above is an indication of my dissatisfaction with what has been accomplished or with the educational program in general in Lexington. Quite SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 265 to the contrary, I should like to make it a matter of record that I am well pleased with the progress that has been made in the short period of time that I have been here toward the establishment of an adequate program of services in the area of pupil personnel. In fact, I do not hesitate to be even more positive in stating how pleased I am to be a part of what I consider to be an outstanding school program and an outstanding community. As I have stated verbally on a number of occa- sions, the reason I was pleased to come to Lexington and to leave a university position was because of the forward - looking school administration, School Commit- tee, and citizens in the community. My expectations have not been thwarted; on the contrary, I feel that the program of Pupil Personnel Services that has been established and placed in operation is comparable to many that have been in exist- ence for a number of years and, in fact, is better than most. This was possible only because of the genuine concern on the part of the School Committee, the administrators, teachers, and the community at large for the welfare and education of the children of Lexington. It is indeed a pleasure to be a part of such an out- standing educational program. Respectfully submitted, H. L. ISAKSEN, Director of Pupil 'Personnel Services 266 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF THE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM Some 201/2 billion meals ago, or fifteen years past, school lunches became a part of our nation's health program as well as playing a role in our country's farm economy. Yearly an estimated 131/2 million youngsters, or one -third of all school population, are participating in School Food Service programs. Presently in Lexington, children participation school attendance where food services are offered when school lunches were accepted as part of our About 3700 children purchase lunches daily; with nears 4,000 at this writing.

Maximum reim- bursemet, 4c and 3c for milk only, continues to be granted by the State and Federal subsidies. In June renewal applications for our twelve Special Milk Programs and nine Food Service Operations were approved by the State Department of Education. Two Type "A" Menus The stage was set Ash Wednesday to offer a second main dish at the secondary level, which continued daily at senior high and occasionally for the two junior high schools, each time showing that participation increased. This fall all secondary schools continue the practice. Records show a 17% sales increase, amounting to a daily income of approxi- mately $75.00, or over $13,000 additional yearly receipts, and $608.00 larger commodity value on a monthly basis which amounts to over $6,000 more income. It is probable that cur boys and girls will consume 43,560 additional lunches yearly due to more variety within the double menu. Learning experiences at school ultimately will help our children to eat the needed vegetables and fruits with other foods for growth. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 267 Role of Home Economics On February 6 commodities were made available for training students in home economics classes. Actual cost to the Home Economics Department has been $19.55. The value, as determined by the State Department, amounts to $305.26, an economy of some $280.00. Senior high, combined with the two junior highs, have used in poundage 338 butter, 780 flour, 2 cornmeal, 54 dried milk, 10 dried eggs and 32 rice to develop the quality and quantity of baking lessons. Educationally, interest has been invoked and understanding developed as to the role of our government in our school nutrition program. There is need to develop more units of study using school lunch as a learning laboratory.

Financially our program continues to show an operational balance adequate to cover one week as against State recommendations that working assets amount to at least a six -week period. Net operating assets show over $3,000.00 more than a year ago. The State Office recommendation as to operation percentages deviates slightly due to new equipment and replacement purchases. A decrease of 2.6% less for food expenditures has been brought about by continued volume purchasing and competitive bidding. The near 2% decrease in labor justifies a higher Wage Classification System which adjustment seriously needs consideration due to growth.

In addi- tion, women have supervised school club activities or worked when an outside caterer served. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 269 270 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Bread Malting Project This improvised project at William Diamond Junior High has tripled to over 10,000 loaves of varied types of bread used in our nine food programs. Individual programs bake more home -made yeast rolls, which alleviates our project wherein some 160 loaves are needed when all schools use home -made bread. We continue to provide fancy rolls for special events along with the maximum daily production of 80 loaves of bread. The present location provides insufficient space to expand our bake project. Part of our participation may be attributed to baked foods. Personnel Progress — On- the -Job Training Five elementary managers in June received college certificates of accomplish- ment from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst covering a one week man- agement workshop sponsored by the State Department of Education. It is evident that each manager has achieved more support and efficiency among her staff. How -to -train meetings are held monthly at the Administration Building to cope with pertinent changes, to meet new personnel from other school staffs, to pursue studies such as safety and accident prevention, to maintain Board of Health reg- ulations, and use film strips or other visual aids to promote each school lunch pro - gram. In March our own staff demonstrated techniques used in bread making along with the use of colored slides showing each school's decor for everyday and holi- days. At times 66 women, 8 of whom are substitutes, are too few to staff all pro- grams when much sickness prevails. Our staff should reach over 70 soon to meet our needs. Eleven withdrawals this year were due to 7 accepting other positions, one re- tirement; the others left for family or personal health reasons. Professional interest among our women is paramount as shown above and by: 1. Regular daily attendance of our full -time staffs. 2. Continued memberships in the Massachusetts School Food Service Associa- tion. 3. Attendance at out -of -town meetings. 4. Employees learning several jobs. 5. Arranging attractive decorations in school kitchens, dining areas and for special events, many of which are brought from home. 6. Supporting and contributing to the magazine "Full Measure ", a Massachu- setts School Food Service Association Quarterly. 7. One manager continuing her appointment as regional delegate for the State organization. 8. Helping to recruit new employees. 9. Continuous support and cooperation with other school activities and depart- ments. 10. Accepting unfamiliar and new methods. Progress and Recommendations Participation in 395 Massachusetts communities, compiled by the Common- wealth based on one month's operation, showed Lexington's school 1.25% above state -wide averages and 4.18% above the county average. Presently the figure shows an added 8% increase above for our programs A three - compartment legal file and two storage cabinets have been added to house supplies and records at the new location of the School Lunch Office at Muzzey Junior High. Office machines are needed to facilitate business practices and expedite daily, weekly, monthly, fiscal and annual reports. Requests for school lunch materials as agendas, nutrition education, dual menus, publicity in the local paper are more widespread, from Augusta, Maine, to the state of Illinois. "Nutrition in Action ", "Massachusetts School Food Service Association Break- fast a Success ", with pictures, at William Diamond Junior High, are stories of our school lunch activities printed in the Massachusetts School Lunch News Letter. As to equipment, Estabrook Elementary School freezer capacity has partially alleviated space for commodity deliveries. The new Hobart dish machine to be in- stalled at the Senior High this month should be transferred for usage at Muzzey Junior High when renovation progresses. It is reasonable to expect twenty years' performance from this type machine. Bigger school lunch business is partially due to growth. At the secondary level a second menu offering is a greater factor. Continued support by dedicated principals, their staffs, the devotion of school lunch personnel, and using school lunch as pupil learning situations add much to the success of our School Lunch Program. Financially figures show some thirty thousand dollars above one -third of a million dollar business, when the value of the United States Government donated foods, gratis meals, matching funds, and inventories are totaled to our 1961 School Food Service and Special 'Milk Program income.
