REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN To the Citizens of Lexington: The Federal Census of 1960 having been completed the following table of population change covering the period 1930 to 1960 indicates that Lexington has. had an increasing rate of growth. Year Population 1930 9,467 1935 10,813 1940 13,187 1945 14,452 1950 17,335 1955 22,276 1960 27,920 December 31, 1960 39 Planning Board estimates anticipate that the Town's population will reach 50,000 within the next twenty years. This growth creates problems which chal- lenge our Town government to act wisely now and to plan ahead with courage and vision. It is thus that your Board of Selectmen has sought to make its decisions and direct its planning. Some of the principal areas in which the Board has acted in 1960 are set forth here as being of special interest to our citizens. HIGHWAYS The Selectmen's report of 1948 contained the following statement "With the exception of our main highways our general street layout is inadequate to cope with the problem of mass transportation and so therefore we will have to make takings and widenings to improve our highway system." One of our major traffic problems was alleviated to some extent with the com- pletion of the present Route 128 which removed much heavy traffic from Waltham Street, Massachusetts Avenue, and Woburn Street. However, the increased indus- trial development along the new highway has burdened the Town streets with com- muters traveling to these new industries. Continued expansion of Hanscom Field, Lincoln Laboratories, and Cambridge Research Center has added to this traffic load. After several years of negotiations, the Federal Government advanced the necessary funds for the completion of Hartwell Avenue in 1960. This road gave access to the air base complex from Bedford Street and gave traffic relief to the access roads to the air base, namely Wood Street and Marrett Road. Two other roads currently under construction will provide relief of traffic congestion and serve as additional collector roads. These are Worthen Road and Emerson Road sections of which have been completed, while other sections are in advance planning stage or under construction. Worthen Road to extend from Bedford Street, Massachusetts Avenue, Lincoln, Waltham, .Marrett Road to Route 2 is now complete from Bedford Street to Massachusetts Avenue and small sections in the area of Waltham Street and Kendall Road. Town Meeting action in 1960 authorized the layout of that section to cross the center playground from. Massa- chusetts Avenue to Waltham Street. Emerson Road to extend from Bedford Street,. -40 BOARD OF SELECTMEN Grove, Burlington, Adams, Woburn, Maple, East, Massachusetts Avenue to Route 2 is partially complete with small sections in the Adams Street and Maple Street area. Town Meeting action in 1960 authorized acquisition of parcels of land for the crossing at East Street and 'Massachusetts Avenue. These two roads are being completed by a combination of Town construction and developer's construction under a coordinated plan. It is anticipated that this method will result in a sub - stantial saving in cost to the Town. DRAINS Installation of street drains continued in various sections of the Town under direction of the Town Engineer. A major drainage project was the installation of pipes to carry the brook which runs along the easterly side of the Town dump. This permits the extension of the filling of this area so that it may in the future be added to the recreational or park area of the Town. TOWN DUMP Not a very glamorous subject but one that has become more difficult in recent months is the problem of refuse disposal. The rapid filling of the current dump area this year prompted the Selectmen to institute a system of dump permits for com- mercial vehicles to correct abuse of the dumping privilege In addition having re- ceived Town Meeting authorization, the Selectmen employed the engineering firm of Fay, Spofford, and Thorndike to prepare a comprehensive survey of the disposal problem. The report from this survey should be ready in early 1961. WATER The Town for the last few years has suffered from a summer water shortage. Major projects have been undertaken to correct this shortage by strengthening the system: a. The Metropolitan District Commission is extending its main from Arling- ton along Route 2 to the vicinity of Waltham Street with an elevated tank in that area. b. The Town of Lexington is constructing a main from this tank to its own tanks. It is expected that the U. S. Air Force will share in the cost of the construction of the main to be built by the Town as the water supply to Hanscom Field will directly benefit by this new construction. It is hoped that 1962 will see an end of the water shortage. SEWERS A trunk line sewer is under construction from Watertown Street to Route 2 in the vicinity of Pleasant Street. This will provide service for the Minute Man High- land area and provides another link in a comprehensive plan to provide sewer serv- ice to all of the Town. Another link in this system will be the 1961 request for construction of the sewer trunk from Justin Street under Route 128 to the Burling- ton Street, Hawthorne Road area. BOARD OF SELECTMEN 41 STATE HIGHWAYS 1960 saw the start of the widening of Route 128 in Lexington, Waltham, Burlington area. The Lexington plans involve the taking by the State of large areas of land and about fifteen homes. The Board registered certain protests but State plans prevailed. Alternate plans for the route of Route 3 from 128 to the inner belt were shown by the State to Town officials. It is not known as yet what action, if any, has been taken to reach a final plan. The long anticipated widening of Route 2 and its designation as a limited access highway remains an unexecuted plan without a date for construction. MINUTE MAN NATIONAL PARK Initial plans and some funds became available in 1960 to provide for the es- tablishment of Minute Man National Park. Within ten years the Commission hopes to restore much of the area between Route 128 and Concord along Massachusetts Avenue to its 1775 appearance. With the historic areas of Lexington the logical starting place for tourists visiting the National Park the Town should see a marked increase in tourist business. OFF- STREET PARKING A tract of land bounded by Meriam Street, Boston and Maine Railroad and Grant Street was purchased for additional off - street parking. Access is to be es- tablished to this area from Depot Square and from Meriam Street. An eventual capacity of about 300 cars is expected when the area is fully ready for use. It is not expected that parking meters will be installed in this area at this time. How - ever, parking meters already authorized will be installed in certain of the other parking lots. 'INDUSTRY Of interest to the taxpayers is the construction of the Raytheon Building on 'Spring Street at Route 2, and Itek Buildings on Maguire Road and the rezoning for industrial purposes of a small tract of land on Wood Street now owned by Massa - chusetts Institute of Technology. Completion of construction at these sites will be reflected in future tax rates. Much of the above reflect the growth of the Town. There are many contin- uing projects that should be mentioned; —Civil Defense, which is developing a strong trained organization; the acquisition of Town park, recreation and school areas; zoning enforcement to maintain the character of the Town, and protection of persons and property. The Board is currently considering the need for an Executive Secretary to assist and report to the Selectmen. No decision has been made as yet in this matter but will be reported prior to the 1961 Town Meeting. The Board is proud of the accomplishments of the Town in 1960 and extends to those officials and employees of the Town, whose co- operation and services have made these accomplishments possible, its sincere thanks. To the citizens of the Town, we express our confidence in the future of Lexington as a better place to live and work. RUTH 1MOREY, Chairman LINCOLN P. COLE, JR. ALAN G. ADAMS GARDNER C.

Permits for single dwellings numbered 244, 25 fewer than the previous year, although the valuation per unit increased by about 18 percent. The year 1960 saw the first construction in our long dormant light manufactur- ing area. This was for the Itek building issued in May at the estimated cost of a million dollars. Another permit for an additional wing to the same building was issued late in December. I expect to see much more of this construction in the next few years. In addition to the Department's building activities, a great deal of time this past year was spent in the investigation of Zoning complaints and violations. At least twenty -five percent of the 'Building Department time is spent in this sort of duty. 156 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY With the continued growth of the Town and its subsequent problems, I would expect the Zoning problems to take more and more of the Department's time. The Building Department wishes to thank all the Department and officials for their assistance during the past year. Respectfully submitted, DONALD K.

In addition there were created under Planning Board jurisdiction 35 lots for single family residential use, these lots fronting on existing ways. During the past year the following parcels of and were acquired by the Town of Lexington for the location of future streets or for playground or recreational purposes. 1. Lot 11, about 31,230 sq. ft. in area, for recreational purposes, the lot fronting on Holton Road in Patriots Forest subdivision; 2. A parcel of land, about 34,200 sq. ft. in area, fronting on East Street and abutting Vine Brook, the parcel to be used for the ex- tension of Emerson Road from the existing portion of said road to East Street and for an addition to the proposed North Street - Vine Brook recreational area; 3. A parcel of land, 19.38 acres in area, for playground and recrea- tional purposes, said parcel fronting on Turning Mill Road and abutting Grove Street school land and the parcel of land described under item 4; 4. A parcel of land about 14.5 acres in area for playground and rec- reational purposes, said parcel situated on Grove Street and abutting Grove Street school land and the parcel of land described under item 3; 5. A lot of land with building thereon numbered 572 Massachusetts Avenue for the future location of Emerson Road, the lot having an area of about 10,318 sq. ft.; 6. A parcel of land 40 feet wide having an area of about 6,294 sq. ft. situated between lots 48 and 50A in the Peacock Farm subdivision, said parcel connecting Peacock Farm Road with town -owned land acquired for a school and playground site; 7. A parcel of land having an area of about 9 acres situated on Hath- away Road and abutting town -owned land known as Willard's Woods, the wooded portion of the nine -acre parcel to be added to the Willard's Woods property and the unwooded portion of the parcel to be used in part for the future location of Emerson Road. 160 PLANNING AND RECREATION Summarizing the above information, the town acquired during 1960 approxi- mately 44.6 acres of additional land for street, playground and recreational purposes. At the December 12, 1960 Special Town Meeting there was rezoned from R 1 single family residence to C 3 special commercial use approximately 7.6 acres of land fronting on the westerly and southwesterly side of Wood Street and abutting Hanscom Field. The land now owned by Father James and Miss Marie Maguire is to be conveyed to the Mass. Institute of Technology for the purpose of con- structing a building to be used for a vital government defense project. Upon recommendation of the Planning Board the 1960 Annual Town Meeting under Article 52 voted to amend Section 5 of the Zoning By -law so as to eliminate trucking and express business as a permitted use in residential districts. Under Article 53 of the 1960 Annual Town Meeting Section 14 of the Zoning By -law was amended increasing the number of associate members of the Board of Appeals to a total of five. Itek Corporation site plans were approved earlier this year and this concern has proceeded with the building of a major office building and electronic research facility. In June the Waltham Street garden apartments site plan was given tentative approval by the Planning Board. The outstanding accomplishment which took place in 1960 was the completion of a general development plan for a central school and recreational area on town - owned land from the Waltham - Muzzey- Clarke - Lincoln Street area to Marrett Road, including the high school property, Center playground, area used for a town dump, and the tract (including the old reservoir) between Middleby and Marrett Roads. A transfer of funds from the Excess and Deficiency Account to the Planning Board's General Expense Account enabled the Board to employ an additional graduate stu- dent in landscape architecture to assist the Planning Director, himself a landscape architect, in developing the comprehensive scheme first proposed by the Director in his 1957 annual report to the Planning Board. A detailed analysis of the wants and needs of the School Department and Recreation Committee relative to facilities for an elementary and a secondary school and community recreation was made after conferences with representatives of these agencies, other Lexington officials, and trustees of the Hayden Recreation Center. A detailed program was prepared and used as a basis for developing a long -range plan for the area described above. The major components of the plan are those of a secondary school site at the end of Muzzey Street in the area between Waltham and Clarke Streets, an enlarge- ment of the present center playground and high school for physical educational classes and general recreational use, a team sports area on the land now partly used as a town dump, an elementary school area southwesterly of Middleby Road, and a community recreational facilities area between Middleby and Marrett Roads. The plan envisions the location of Worthen Road as the boundary between the Hayden Centre and the land to be used for physical educational classes and general recreation, the fencing and appropriate planting along Worthen Road, an exchange of land between the Town and Hayden Centre, the elimination of Park Drive, the construction of a service road along Vine Brook between Worthen and Middleby Roads, and the eventual construction of a pedestrian pass over Worthen Road between the high school grounds and the team sports area. If carried out as pro- PLANNING AND RECREATION 161 posed there would be no need of eliminating the present football field, track, tennis courts, or swimming pool until such time as these facilities are no longer adequate for town needs and the present town dump is abandoned. The Special Town Meeting held on November 28 began to put the comprehensive plan into effect by laying out Worthen Road between Lincoln and Waltham Streets and appro- priating funds for the preparation of preliminary plans for the expansion of the high school. It is the hope of the Planning Board that the 1961 Annual Town Meeting will approve an addition to our staff of a planning assistant. It becomes more evident each year that if we are to perform properly the duties required in the areas of long -range planning and the administration of the Subdivision Control Law, that there will be needed an additional staff member properly versed in city planning. We have made much progress since establishing the position of Planning Director but the work load is too heavy for one person. We believe that the next ten years will be the most critical for long -range planning in Lexington and so request this additional help that we may accomplish the best for our Town.

The Arts & Crafts figures were: Hastings 1,502 (31 %); North 1,254 (26 %); Center 1,200 (24 %); and East 956 (19%). The program at Hastings was handicapped be- cause the baseball area was rebuilt.

The Committee wishes to thank the many individuals and groups who have done so much to support recreation in the town.

We have had the whole- hearted support of the Superintendent of Public Works, the Select- men and other town officials; the School Committee has continued to cooperate by providing facilities. As members of the Recreation Committee, we feel especially fortunate in having Mr. Adolph Samborski as Director of Recreation. His hard work, experience, ability and enthusiasm in directing the recreation program has been greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted, JEAN D. WANLESS COLBY E. KELLY PAUL HANSON BEN BERTINI RICHARD S. SPARROW, Chairman SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE For The Year 1960 To the Citizens of Lexington: This community, partaking of the ferment and change which is so characteristic of American education today, is a demanding one. It insists on the pursuit of excellence in its public education and it is more than willing to make its views known. The fact that there are some differences of opinion as to what constitutes excellence in education and how it should be pursued makes the problem even more difficult. It is fortunate for Lexington's young people that they live in a town which is education minded. In all too many communities the citizens generally are apathetic and the interested minority is either ineffectual or primarily concerned with making use of the system to further some personal interest. It is a tribute to this town that members of its School Committee and administration virtually never receive calls from people who are seeking pay raises for some particular in- dividual or jobs for friends. Instead, this community interest expresses itself most commonly in pressure for change. One group wants to add kindergartens; another is serious to expand and strengthen the guidance program; still another thinks that we should have a summer school; someone else wants to enhance the more traditional means and ends of education; others just as vigorously urge that plans like the one operating at the Franklin School be extended throughout the entire system. In the final analysis, all this demand for change of one kind or another has the most impact on the teacher in the classroom because he is the object of it. It is his methods and the content of his teaching that is actually at issue; admin- istrative decisions are designed, after all, to affect what goes on in the teaching of children. Change and the demand for change is never an easy experience for anyone; it is positively nerve - wracking when it comes in such a rush that it shakes up one's job from top to bottom. Under those circumstances, it forces one to raise the most fundamental kinds of questions about what he is doing and how he is doing it. Yet this is what Lexington is doing to its schools and the people in them. To compound the problem, we are asking all this of our schools at a time when the explosion of new knowledge is already imposing a heavy burden on the teach- ing profession. This new knowledge is of two kinds: substantive and methodological. For the first time in many years, education is undertaking research into its prac- tices in a substantial way, and the products of this effort are stimulating schools throughout the nation to alter accepted classroom approaches. Simultaneously, the amount of knowledge which young people must have to fulfill their responsibilities as educated men and women has greatly expanded. Thus we find subject matter once considered appropriate only at the college level being pushed down into the secondary schools and, in turn, forcing the displacement of traditional secondary courses which then appear in the elementary curriculum. 168 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT No longer can a teacher count on the repetition of one basic pattern of material or technique year after year. The best people, of course, have never been con- tent with such an arrangement; now no one can sit still. It should be said at this point that the students seem, sometimes, to be able to absorb a great deal more change than their elders— whether parents or teachers. Projects that seem quite overwhelmingly new and different to us are often accepted by them as exciting but minor shifts No one should misinterpret this report to indicate that this School Committee believes in change simply for the sake of change, or revolutions instead of evolu- tions. Each move that has been made, be it the introduction of French in the ele- mentary schools or homogeneous grouping or the Advanced Program or the pro- posed summer school, has been studied and pondered by many people over a long period of time before it was introduced. Furthermore, it is under constant sur- veillance and evaluation at each step of the way. A further point should be made about the process of initiating and overseeing these changes. Lexington is fortunate in that it has a large number of people who are both interested and skilled in various phases of our public school program. In his report, the Superintendent refers to several studies of various aspects of the Lexington schools made by committees of citizens. The outstanding job done by these groups has helped set the directions in which the system can move. Their studies are serving as the basis for a department -by- department self- survey this year, and thus are serving as a real basis for continuing, orderly, evolutionary change. It would be dishonest to assert that we can guarantee the total success of each one of these ventures. This nation was not built in an atmosphere of security and hesitancy; some question marks always attend the start of any understanding. Fur- thermore, everyone involved in any of these projects does not always see every- thing in exactly the same way. Happily, in Lexington, those who have disagree- ments have not been shy about expressing them to their colleagues within the system so their views can be considered. But allowing for natural differences of viewpoint and unanswered questions, it can be said that change has become an accepted fact in the Lexington schools, and that faith in the soundness of our pro- grams is widespread. Earlier, we pointed out that this process of change puts a real strain on the classroom teacher. In- service content workshops and summer programs, courses in local educational institutions, departmental and systemwide meetings, confer- ences and visits with school people from other areas — all these have been heaped upon the already busy schedule of these professional people. Even more important, new ways of doing things demand new arrangements and new attitudes which may be difficult to work out and assimilated. It is up to the educationally -alert people of this town to recognize the pressure they are putting on their teachers and administrators, and act accordingly. Our teacher salary guide must continue to reflect the size cf the job we are asking our staff to perform as well as the competitive situation in which we find ourselves. We must push ahead in our effort to find ways of relieving teachers of the bur- densome and non - academic chores they are asked to assume. We have to refurbish and strengthen the machinery for their participation in decisions which affect them and their work. We have to search out ways to indicate our appreciation of their efforts and to bring them into our community. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 169 Some of our citizens may well comment that all this costs money. That it most certainly does, and will, though it is safe to say that the heaviest increases in the costs of the schools have come about because of the growth of the student popula- tion coupled with the rise in teacher salaries rather than the enrichment of the program. But, having once accepted the need for larger budgets, the School Com- mittee continues to look for ways to make sure that the money is well spent. One road to this goal is closer coordination with the other town boards; thus the Appro- priations Committee Chairman sat in on our budget meetings this year and we designated a member to join with a representative of the Selectmen and of the Appropriations Committee in an effort to reach some townwide agreements on salaries and conditions of employment for non - certificated personnel. Similarly, we have great hopes for the citizens committee studying our maintenance and pur- chasing practices with a view to greater economy and efficiency. If this is an unsettling time for education in towns like Lexington, it is also an exciting and rewarding one. Gradually the nation is again becoming aware of their crucial importance to its future. They are being taken seriously once more — and that necessarily involves being occasionally the subject of controversy. New tools are being placed in their hands, and new opportunities for ingenuity and imagina- tion are opening up. More flexible buildings and facilities offer them chances to pursue individual projects with particular students, to break out of the rigid strait- jackets of specific time periods for assigned subjects, to trade ideas and discoveries with their colleagues. It is, in short, a time which offers great satisfaction to the truly professional teacher, to the man and woman who have as their life purpose the education of young people. As members of the School Committee, we appreciate the opportunity to par- ticipate in this effort. We salute with pride and gratitude the Superintendent of Schools and his administrative associates, the principals and teachers, and the staff personnel who are devoting themselves to the concept that however good our schools may be today, they will be even better tomorrow. Respectfully submitted, DONALD T. CLARK, Chairman MRS. 'MI'LDRED B. MAREK GORDON E. 'STEEL'E SANBORN C. BROWN DAN H. FENN, JR., Secretary 170 :SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THEE SUPERINTENDENT To the Members of the School Committee: This is the seventy -fifth in a series of printed annual reports of the Lexington Superintendent of Schools, the first being issued in 1885; it is the second one 1 have prepared. In this day and age when modern science and technology have made it possible for us to keep warm in winter and cool in summer, to traverse the the continent in a few hours and, in fact, have given us the power to put an end to human history, one is somewhat chagrined to find that the educational problems facing Lexington today are the same areas with which the town wrestled a half - century ago. No reader who scans the 1910 Annual Report can escape this con- clusion, surprising though it may be. Without attempting to over- emphasize the point, this report will quote from 1910 to illustrate the 1960 school problems fac- ing Lexington. Personnel Problems "The question of salaries to be paid to teachers is a serious one and if we are to hold our best teachers (as we should) and have the pupils receive the benefit of their experience and influence, we must be in a position to pay at least equal sal- aries with other towns of the same standing and resources as Lexington. "While statistics show that salaries paid to the teachers of Lexington compare favorably with those paid by other towns in this state, they do not show that the cost of living in Lexington is considerably more than in many of those towns. "To induce teachers, therefore, to come to Lexington at the same salary paid in many places is difficult, and in order to secure the best teacher to fill an ex- ceptionally difficult position, it appears as though we must be willing to pay a little more than many other towns to offset this increased cost of living. "* During the past few years the School Committee has indicated its attitude on salaries in a series of policy actions. Three major factors are involved in their decisions. 1. The financial ability of Lexington to finance an outstanding school system . . . and thus a superior staff. 2. The development of a salary guide which would attract out- standing inexperienced and experienced teachers to Lexington. 3. The development of a salary guide which would retain our better teachers and would encourage the poor teacher to seek greener pastures. Through such policies the School Committee should be able to achieve a rela- tively stable staff. Many of the better beginning teachers from our colleges and universities have been attracted to Lexington. Adjustments in the present guide must be of a nature to attract an even larger number of the better and more ex- perienced teachers to this community. Our present guide will not do so in the 1961 -62 school year. * School Committee, Report of the School Committee and Superintendent of Schools of the Town of Lexington for the year 1910. Page 5. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 171 For the past two years 79% of the teachers new to Lexington have had expe- rience in other communities. This compares favorably with the previous six years when only 45% to 64% of the newly - employed teachers had experience in other school communities. This year the ratio of new teachers to old is one out of four. This number is too large and is the natural result of several factors, principally the number of young women who marry and move away, have children, or move with their hus- bands to other locations. 'Last year only nine teachers left Lexington for other school communities. As in 1910, we are faced with the fact that many of our staff cannot find housing in Lexington because of the high cost cf homes in our town. Do we really want to have most of our teachers living elsewhere? Would we not prefer to have them share our community with us and view its problems and possibilities as neigh- bors instead of outsiders? Furthermore, those teachers who prefer to educate their children in the schools in which they teach should be given the opportunity. It was not so in 1910 and is not so in 1960. And each year a smaller percentage of our professional staff live in Lexington. For e;.ample, this year only 87 teachers out of 344 have found quarters here — one out of every four. We should increase this proportion. Certainly we should make it possible for all teachers who wish to live in Lexington to do so. Obviously, we have no desire to require those who are happy elsewhere or who have other reasons for living in another town to move here though the more who do so the better. Housing within the financial range of a teacher is a key issue. Should the town develop a housing program for teachers? Or can we finance a salary guide at a level that permits a teacher to purchase a Lexington home? This decision will determine the quality of education for many years. One hopeful note in connection with the recruitment of teachers has been the substantial number of applications received from highly qualified and experienced teachers who are applying for positions in our Franklin School program. This trend can only result in a better education for our children. With 25% of our teachers new to Lexington it is of prime importance for us to have an efficient administrative and supervisory staff if we are to offer each child a constantly- improving opportunity to grow at his own rate. Steps are being taken to insure that we do have such a group. An improved recruitment pro- cedure for securing experienced leadership personnel is beginning to bear fruit. The importance of preparing our own staff for new opportunities is being increas- ingly understood. A constantly - improving program of in- service education for not only the administrative and supervisory staff but for all teachers is necessary for Lexington if we are to maintain our status as a superior school community. During the 1960 school year no additions were made to the supervisory or ad- ministrative staff, although as of January 1, 1961, a number of changes will occur. These will be discussed in the annual report of 1961. It should be reiterated that the personnel situation is improving but until such time as our need for new teachers and leadership people is stabilized we will find this problem a most difficult one. This kind of growing pain is likely to continue for another ten to twenty years. 172 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT School Housing "The final recommendation is that the School Committee and people of the town should consider the fact that, in a short time, the Hancock, Munroe and Adams school buildings will be crowded beyond their capacity and something must be done to provide more room for the children. The ccngestion exists already in the lowest grades of the Adams and Hancock Schools, and it has been necessary to have one -half of the pupils come in the forenoon and the other half in the afternoon in both of these buildings. "* This statement made fifty years ago in Lexington highlights our building prob- lem today. We have a constantly- expanding school population requiring a con- stantly- expanding school plant and we must face the need to replace certain of your obsolete and inadequate facilities. The kindergarten problem must be solved. Our increasing enrollments are made clear in the following table: Year Elementary Secondary Total 1950 1715 1098 2813 1951 1897 1094 2991 1952 2090 1157 3247 1953 2300 1193 3493 1954 2549 1349 3898 1955 2786 1485 4271 1956 2977 1695 4672 1957 3147 1896 5043 1958 3291 2166 5457 1959 3434 2423 5857 Actual 1960 3602 2678 6280 Estimate 1961 3934 2850 6784 1962 4160 3068 7228 1963 4393 3271 8210 1964 4632 3448 8080 1965 4875 3628 8503 1966 5114 3807 8921 1967 5318 3982 9296 1968 5575 4150 9725 1969 5788 4309 10097 Actual Estimate The opening of the "Grove Street" school in September of 1961 will make it possible for us to relieve the pupil overload at the Harrington, the Fiske, and the Parker Schools. It will not help the overload beginning to appear at the Hastings School, which will be greatly accentuated next year. At that time it may be neces- sary for us to use the auditorium - gymnasium for classroom purposes. Until a res- ervoir area elementary school is opened (it is presently programed for September 1964) overcrowding will be a problem not only at the Hastings School but at the Franklin School as well. Spaces for one, two or three children are available in several rooms at most grade levels in several schools. However, to use this space efficiently we would have to scatter the "extra" children from the Hastings and Franklin Schools in each of the various elementary buildings. Educationally this is a poor answer for * School Committee, Report of the School Committee and Superintendent of Schools of the Town of Lexington for the year 1910. Page 19. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 173 it would mean that these children would likely be transferred every year to another school. A better solution would be to hasten the construction of the reservoir area elementary school and have it completed at an earlier date. The school housing picture at the secondary level is even more gloomy! Under present plans, a secondary center for children in grades 9 -12 will be built in the area of our present high school. The need for these additional facilities and the tentative solution is revealed in the following table: Secondary Building Building Enrollment Capacities Program Date 1960 2678 2800 1961 2850 2800 1962 3068 2800 Double sessions possible 1963 3271 3600 Phase one (800 pupils) 1964 3448 2600 1965 3626 4300 Phase two (700 pupils) 1966 3807 4300 1967 3982 4300 1968 4150 4300 The total capacity of our two junior high schools and our senior high school is about 2800. We face increasing difficulties that can only be met by adding space for another 700 in 1965. (It may be that the most economical answer is to build both phases under a single continuous operation). But in either case, this does not eliminate the overcrowding which will exist next year and which in 1962 will require us to take drastic measures of a temporary nature. The town meeting has approved funds for the preliminary planning of these facilities, but even with an optimistic point of view, including building contractors who complete their work on time, Lexington must look forward to a difficult secondary housing problem until 1965. If the building program drags, the difficulty will continue beyond that date. It should be noted that none of the plans previously discussed consider the obsolete and inadequate facilities at the Hancock and Munroe Schools, nor do they take care of the inadequacies which exist at the Adams and Parker Schools. None envision the opening of kindergartens in Lexington. Attention to these problems' is being given by the School Committee and the administrative staff. However, the difficulties noted in securing necessary housing at the elementary and secondary levels for the ordinary school population growth makes it most difficult to fit solutions to these building problems into a total building program. The Evaluation of Our Schools 1960 was a year in which intensive and extensive studies of our schools were completed by personnel not directly connected with our Lexington teaching staff. Teachers and principals are, of course, continuously evaluating our program; this is a basic function of their positions. However, in 1960 it was possible to secure assistance from several other groups. Brief comments concerning these studies follow: The Citizens' Committee for the Lexington Public Schools. The Citizens' Committee for the Lexington Public Schools issued a report on April 29, 1960 titled, "Summary of Suggestions by the Research Committee." 174 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT A guidance program, they said, is a coordinated part of the school's total educational program designed to help pupils make full use of their educational opportunities. It assists in meeting the special needs of children which cannot be met through the normal instructional program. Within this broad framework, the report said, each community must decide for itself what values and goals it wishes its guidance program to achieve. As a result of their two years of study, they recommended the following directions for guidance in our Lexington Schools. In making these suggestions they indicated that they were particularly influenced by the rapid changes and growth of Lexington, the new teaching methods in education being developed to meet local and national needs, and the development of new knowledge in fields closely related to education. Specifically, they urged, we should like to see: A. B. C. D. E. F. More emphasis on preventive aspects of guidance. More emphasis on consultation as a guidance function. Increased coordination with other community resources. The stimulation of interdisciplinary teamwork and research through the intrcduction of new guidance resources. Strengthened evaluation and research. A firm commitment to getting only highly qualified personnel. Recommendations 1. To achieve these goals, we feel the foremost need is for the appointment of a Director of Guidance (pupil personnel services is frequently a preferred term). He should be concerned with the goals we have suggested above and by training and experience be fully equipped to deal with thorn. Such an appointment should serve to strengthen the morale and increase the efficiency of our present staff. It would provide a focus and integration for current and anticipated programs, and coordinate what are now miscel- laneous functions within the school system. It would assist in attracting ether qualified personnel as well as the interest of many professionals in related areas within the community. It would make possible research and intern programs supported by outside funds. 2. The Director of Guidance should head a Department of Public Personnel Serv- ices, which would bring together existing guidance services, psychological services, and possibly other supplementary services such as remedial reading, school nurse, etc. 3. We should like to see consideration of the employment of a social worker (the town might take advantage of state funds for a school adjustment counselor) to work at the elementary level, and to be responsible to the Director of Pupil Personnel Services. 4. There is an immediate need for clerical help for the present guidance coun- selors. Two clerical workers could serve the junior high schools, the high school, and psychological services. 5. We should like to see relocation of the high school guidance facilities to pro- vide more privacy and an atmosphere of respect for the student and his problems. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 175 Harvard Center for Field Studies. During the past year as a part of the School and University Program for Research and Development, the Center for Field Studies, Harvard Graduate School of Education, conducted a study of the Lexington Public Schools. Copies of this report are presently in the Cary Memorial Library and also available at the School Administration Building. A summary of their general recom- mendations follows: 1. "That the Lexington Public Schools offer to all high school students an ex- tended base of education which includes the concepts and skills demanded of general citizenship in a technological society. 2. "That a tuition -free summer school program be instituted which will offer advanced study, remedial courses, and certain electives, e.g., driver education and personal typing, in order to give students whose regular program is crowded an opportunity to take such courses. 3. "That the abilities of students be met by means of differentiated instruction rather than by assignment to narrow curriculum channels. 4. "With respect to library facilities and services: A. Provide Central Library services and facilities to each elementary school. B. Provide from two to four professional librarians for part -time service to the eight elementary schools. C. Provide sufficient clerical assistance for or centralization of the technical library processes to enable all librarians to work more closely with the students and the teachers. D. Coordinate the library program and services between schools and between grade levels. E. Provide a professional library for teachers and other school personnel at a central location for the entire system from which such materials may be circulated to particular schools. 5. "A continuation of the 6 -3 -3 organization with the further recommendation that at the secondary level one multi -unit high school be established. 6. "That kindergarten become a part of the Lexington school system as soon as possible. The study staff suggests this be accomplished by September 1962. Half -day sessions, providing morning attendance for the younger children, are suggestions. 7. "With respect to improving the identification of pupils: A. Appoint a qualified director of guidance. B. Employ from two to four professional counselors for part -time service to the eight elementary schools. C. Insure accessibility to pupil records. 8. "In respect to the Advanced Program: A. That the Lexington school system, before extending the Advanced Pro- gram as a permanent part of the system at all levels, study the implications of the questions raised within the framework of a defensible research design. B. Initial screening for the Advanced Program involving more than a group IQ test. 176 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 9.

The New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools The New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools made its visitation to the Lexington High School on May 11, 12, and 13, 1960. As a result, at the annual meeting of the Association, Lexington High School was re- elected to continued membership in the Association. Several hundred major and minor commendations and recommendations were offered in this report. Among the highlights were the following: Commendations: 1. The courses of study offered and the variety of enrichment materials. 2. The grouping of students within their levels of academic achievement and adapting the instruction to these levels. 3. The provision of enrichment and acceleration for the more capable students. 4. The interest and morale of the student body, the excellent pupil- teacher relations, and democratic classroom practices. 5. The professional interest and activities of the staff. 6. The high caliber of constructive teaching practices and the continuing revision and improvement of courses of study. 7. The amount and quality of oral work carried on in language classes. 8. The provision and industrial of pupils, and from it. 9. The excellent good balance SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 177 of instruction in art, music, home economics, arts that attracts large numbers of all types the high quality of achievement that results overall physical education program with a of individual, intramural and team activities. Recommendations 1. Limit the class load of teachers to give time for planning and correcting papers. 2. Provide department headquarters, and teacher work areas with equipment and clerical help for each department for typing, duplicating, filing and other preparation of materials. 3. Include opportunities for remedial and developmental read- ing, and for speech arts. 4. Increase the space, personnel and reference materials in the library in order to do more of what is now being done. 5. Increase the number of science rooms and provide more laboratory areas. 6. Continue plans for improved major courses in art, music, home economics and industrial arts. 7. Provide additional guidance counselors and more time for referrals to specialists; relocate and increase the guidance area. Lexington Secondary School Study Committee: In September 1959 the :Lex- ington School Committee asked seventeen citizens to study the present program in the Lexington secondary schools and tell the Committee what they considered to be the curriculum needs for the near future. These seventeen citizens, having decided that their number would be inadequate for a thorough study, requested the appointment of additional members. Criteria for the choice of such members included possible qualifications for or interest in a particular part of the program, geographical representation within the town, and affiliations with town organiza- tions. In the end, 62 persons participated in this study. The originally- appointed members constituted themselves as a "Steering Com- mittee" and as such acted as a clearing house for the whole group. Each member of the Steering Committee acted as chairman of a subcommittee studying one aspect of the program. The work of each subcommittee involved reviewing the curriculum of one department within the school system. Other subcommittees varied in their approach. In general, each one visited the junior and senior high school classrooms, consulted with department heads and teachers, and examined textbooks, course outlines, teacher materials and examples of students' work. They acquainted them- selves with recommendations by national groups of secondary school and college educators, and they informed themselves about other school programs outside Lexington. The Steering Committee conferred with administrators, School Commit- tee members, and representatives of the Harvard Graduate School's Administrative 178 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Career Program. As a basis for discussion, all groups used such national reports on secondary school education as Images of the Future, by J. Lloyd Trump; The American High School Today, by James B. Conant, as well as the Lexington School Department's Annual Report. Each subcommittee compiled a separate report of its findings and suggestions. The Steering Committee regards these reports as the major and significant part of its work and feels that the descriptions and recommendations made by the sub- committee represent an informed opinion based on the best evidence the subcom- mittee members have been able to assemble within the specific time, and that these members have conducted their research responsibly, intelligently and openmindedly. These reports cover the following subjects: Art, Business Arts, English, Flexibility (Specific Recommendations), Guidance, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Math and Science, Languages, Music, Physical Education, Social Studies, Study of Campus -type Building, Study of Goals and Philosophy of Education, Study of Graduates and Teachers -in- Training. A summary of the report prepared by its Chairman, Mrs. David Myerson, follows: "The 148 -page report of the Lexington Secondary School Study Committee included detailed comments on each subject and remarks on the character of the total program. The subject reports have been read and discussed by the teachers and administrators to whose work they refer, and may be read by interested citizens at the Cary Memorial Library. The major suggestions of the General Report follow: 1. "The Committee stressed the need for greater flexibility in arranging time blocks and class sizes, in the use of teacher time and effort, and in the choice and availability of courses for both college - preparatory and terminal students. 2. "The Committee emphasized the need for greater coordina- tion on a system -wide basis in curriculum planning, grad- ing and homework policies. 3. "The Committee suggested that Citizen Aid to the schools could be further amplified by using parents as 'teachers' aides', as consulting specialists and as permanent visiting committees. 4. "Finally, the report made specific recommendations for en- riching the school experience of all students, for example, by using actual work situations in addition to and in con- nection with classroom study, by adding to the present system of rewards for achievement, and by encouraging stu- dents to take courses well outside their expected fields of concentration." These reports have been placed in the hands of the School Committee and its professional staff. Each departmental, grade level and building group has been studying these reports for the purpose of determining how to implement the ac- ceptable recommendations. Certain ones have already become effective. Others are in the process of being implemented. Others require further study. In a few cases, recommendations have been considered unacceptable to the professional staff. The 1961 annual report will discuss the specific changes that have resulted from these studies. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 179 An Appreciation The quality of the educational program offered to the youth of Lexington rests in the hands of the citizens of this town. The citizens of Lexington have accepted this responsibility. Such results, however, would not have been possible without the cooperation given by Mrs. Ruth Morey and the Selectmen, John Blaisdell and the Appropriations Committee, Donald Noyes and the Capital Expenditures Com- mittee, Roland B. Greeley and the Sites Committee, and Dr. Austin W. Fisher, Jr., and the Permanent School Building Committee. The efforts of hundreds of citizens who served on the survey and citizens' committees have made major contributions to our educational program. Of course, one of the major reasons that Lexington has excellent schools is the outstanding caliber of your School Committee. During the past year they have met over fifty times, some meetings adjourning at an hour well past midnight; others were held on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. They have been amply repaid for their meetings by the excellent support given the public schools of Lexington by the citizens. They have been repaid by the high quality of instruction received by the boys and girls in this town. To this School Committee and to the many citizens, to the school staff, both, professional and non - professional, your superintendent owes a great deal of gratitude for the opportunity to work in Lexington. To all he expresses his sincere thanks and his promise to continue to make every effort to guarantee the boys and girls of Lexington the best educational program possible. MEDILL BAIR, Superintendent of Schools 180 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES On March 7, 1960 the Lexington School Committee voted to establish a Citizens Advisory Committee for Maintenance and Operations, with the following objectives, for the purpose of making recommendations to the School Committee. 1. To study and examine present buildings, considering house- keeping, maintenance, construction features. 2. To study and examine procedures for recruiting, selecting and scheduling of personnel. 3. To study and examine requisitioning and purchasing procedures for custodial and maintenance supplies and equipment. 4. To compile a list of desirable building construction features which may be passed on to the Standing School Building Com- mittee considering: a) Initial Cost, and b) Maintenance and Operating Costs. The following Lexington citizens accepted an invitation to serve on this com- mittee: Jason H. Woodward, Chairman James F. Wanless, Jr. Vernon C. Page Paul Hanson Mrs. Jean Fletcher Robert W. Custance David Marshall The selection of these individuals was based on a number of factors including experiences, interest in this type of operation, and vocations. The group selected has a diversification of experience including a Manager in Design and Operations for an electronics company, a vice - president of a construc- tion company, an architect, a mechanical parts buyer, an owner of his own busi- ness, and a person who is chief of construction for a governmental unit. The committee began to meet almost immediately and up to this time has had almost weekly meetings, with Mr. Mitchell J. Spiris, Director of Administrative Services, acting as liaison and ex- officio member. The final report of this committee is not complete at this time. However, cer- tain preliminary recommendations have been made to the School Committee. Some of these are: The committee has undertaken an investigation into the present pro- cedures for performance of maintenance and repairs with respect to the various building trades involved, with consideration of: 1. Present method of performing function. 2. Known difficulties or problems in present procedures. 3. Cost of performance and value received. 4. Adequacy of present maintenance. 5. Alternative methods. The substance of the considerations to date, and the conclusions and recom- mendations of the Advisory Committee are summarized as follows: SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 181 Contracting Procedure The Advisory Committee recommends that the School Department consider retaining a qualified engineering firm for preparation of specifications and for in- spection of work specified, the contract with the engineering firm to provide that services be supplied upon request for specified maximum time at previously set hourly rates. The engineering firm should be selected from those having special- ists in plumbing, heating and ventilating, electrical, civil and mechanical trades. Building Trades After a careful analysis of the expenditures for each of the several building trades it seemed evident that the "call" type of contract with local contractors who would be able to respond rapidly to emergency situations should be considered for certain of the trades. Therefore, recommendations in regard to the following trades were made. Electrical — The recommendation is made that an annual "call' type of elec- trical contract let on a competitive bid basis, at fixed hourly rates, be considered. Plumbing — The recommendation for plumbing, as for electrical, is for a "call" type of contract, with similar stipulations as to ability to respond in emergency. Glazing — The committee recommends that the School Department investigate advantages and conditions of an annual contract for glazing (repair), as is done by insurance companies that write glass breakage policies. Heating — It was recommended that an investigation of the possibility that routine maintenance items could be included in the invitation for bid for the fuel oil, either as a part of the basic contract, or as an optional bid item. Painting — The committee recommends that painting which is of such mag- nitude that it cannot be handled by the maintenance staff continue to be contracted for by the job. Roofing and Carpentry Placing of individual contracts of these trades, as presently done, is recommended for continuation. Refrigeration — Those items of repair which are determined not to be elec- trical in nature should be let as individual orders, as currently done. Paving — The committee recommends that as much as possible of the spot paving and repair which is not included in new construction be contracted to the Town of Lexington and other new paving be contracted for by the job. Lamps — The possible advantages of the "group relamping" technique were considered, but the benefits were felt to be dubious with full time custodial em- ployees. Custodial Services In addition to its review of the various building trades, the committee also in- vestigated the possibility of contract cleaning. As there appeared to be no partic- ular cost advantage in addition to many obvious disadvantages, the committee did not recommend a trial contract for this type of service. 182 SCHOOL 'DEPARTMENT The committe has conducted field trips to various Lexington Schools and has completed about one -half of these visitations. They hope in the near future to present to the Standing School Building Committee a complete report on findings and recommendations of materials of construction to be incorporated into future schools. In addition to this they are investigating standardization of materials for ease of maintenance and reduction of costs as well as adequacy of materials pres- ently being used. These materials include exterior finishes, interior finishes, floor- ing, plumbing and heating, furniture and its installation, kitchens, doors and win- dows, lighting and wiring, and roads and grounds. The committee still has much work ahead of it. Areas which will get further study and consideration include: 1. An examination of the procedures for recruiting, selecting and scheduling of personnel. 2. A continued examination of school purchasing and accounting for maintenance and custodial supplies and equipment. It is hoped that in the near future the complete report of the' Lexington Citizens Advisory Committee for Maintenance and Operations will be ready for presentation to the School Committee. MITCHELL J. SPIRIS, Director of Administrative Services SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 183 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTION I. Curriculum Improvement— In- Service Training Workshop — One way to improve a school system is to improve the work of the teaching personnel. We have had many such experiences during the last year. The biggest and most successful was the summer workshop where there were 50 teachers working during the month of August to improve their teaching techniques and developing units for the use of all teachers in the areas of mathematics and social studies. Handwriting — Handwriting in the United States has been under criticism for a number of years. We made a direct attack on this by changing from a previous method of handwriting to the functional handwriting system as established by Mr. William Rinehart. Operation Bootstrap — The usual five meetings a year of "Operation Boot- strap" were most successful. Dr. Robert Davis of Syracuse University spoke to several groups of our teachers, and taught two demonstration classes using the new mathematical material developed at Yale University. At the primary level, Dr. Fred Weaver, Boston University, worked with the teachers in grades 1 and 2 in the area of arithmetic. Dr. Anna S. Cordts, Rutgers University, worked with the teach- ers at the 'Hastings School and assisted in a phonics demonstration for the benefit of all elementary teachers. Our own staff members, Miss Elizabeth Howe, and Mrs. Hazel Hoyt, worked with our primary teachers on techniques for individualizing the reading program. At a more recent meeting devoted to testing, Dr. Margaret Allen of the Port- land, Maine, school system, Dr. Mary 'McGovern from the State College at Lowell, Dr. James Amsler from the State College at Salem, and Mr. William Simpson of the SRA testing service, worked with groups of elementary teachers. Sabbatical Leaves — The sabbatical leave policy provided by the school com- mittee has been helpful to our teachers in making them better instructors. Vernon Nickerson of the Muzzey Junior High School mathematics staff spent last year at Harvard University absorbing a great many ideas in mathematics and working on mathematical problems with outstanding professors and visiting lecturers. During the present year the head of the English department, Wilbur E. Cheever, is travel- ing in Europe to gather material for his courses. Leave of Absence — Through leaves of absence granted to a number of people our staff is also able to provide better instruction. George Collins, an elementary music teacher, is spending the year teaching in Germany. Joseph Gibson, who re- ceived a John Hay Fellowship, is studying at the University of Chicago. University Teaching — Many of our teachers teach during the summer or dur- ing the year at a number of institutions. Our teachers have taught at the University of Maine, Simmons College, Harvard, Temple, and Boston Universities. Summer institute programs have also assisted our teachers. We have had peo- ple at the University of Rhode Island, University of Vermont, University of Cin- cinnati, Dartmouth College, Columbia University, and the University of Maine. Interns — The internship program, of which Lexington is one of ten cooperat- ing members with Harvard University, is proving successful. At the present time 184 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT there are ten interns working under the supervision of department heads, prin- cipals, and classroom teachers. Consultants — Some of the most exciting personalities that we have been able to bring to the school system have come in by way of our consultant services. Dr. John Gibson, head of the Division of Liberal Arts at Babson Institute, was a consul- tant in our social studies program during the workshop last August. In the mathe- matics department at the same workshop, teachers worked with Dr. Julius H. Hlavaty, head of the Department of Mathematics at the DeWitt Clinton High School, New York. He is presently teaching on a nationwide TV program. Community Resources — The community resources file has proven very help- ful and we have had over 200 people from our community working with teachers and pupils in our various schools. At the senior high school alone we had 72 people from industry and business. Reading — A one -week workshop in the field of reading, developmental read- ing, and remedial reading was attended last August with Miss Margaret A. Keefe, Principal, Hastings School, representing the elementary personnel and John Brescia, Diamond Junior High School, representing secondary personnel. Curriculum Improvement — Specifics In specific subject fields it is important to note the progress being made. The mathematics section of the summer workshop involved teachers at all levels: Ele- mentary, Junior and Senior High. This was under the supervision of Augustus W. Young, Principal, Fiske School. Once the workshop was over and the units had been developed and prepared, this material was made available to all teachers in the system. It is significant that those teachers who worked in the workshop, con- tinued to meet with other interested teachers on a voluntary basis to share ideas learned and materials developed. To date we have had 8 such voluntary meetings attended by groups of from 15 to 30 teachers. In the science program the Junior 'High School teachers working under the direction of John S. Choate, department head, compressed the usual three year program in grades 7, 8, and 9 into a 2 year program. This has now permitted the introduction of a new course in the 9th grade dealing with earth science. This has proven to be very stimulating to the youngsters. A year ago a new physics course was introduced at the Senior High School. This is the PSSC course that has come from a committee headed by Dr. Jerrold Zacharias of M.I.T. In the business education department- under a new acting chairman, Francis Ferguson, a new course, stenotyping, was added as an outgrowth of studies by the business department. Miss Elizabeth Howe, reading consultant, has worked with elementary teachers and principals, and a new program dealing with phonics has been developed. This was mimeographed and placed in the hands of each teacher in grades 1 through 6. It is interesting to note that our special classes have been studied very care- fully and under policies adopted by the School Committee the trainable class which has been meeting for a half -day now meets for a full day. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 185 In our language program, gains have been made by making French available to all pupils at the start of the 7th grade. This is on an elective basis and is very popular. In the junior high schools the principals have organized their teaching staffs into teams. In this way 4 or 5 teachers work with a special group of about 120 to 150 pupils, meeting from one to three times a week to discuss the progress of these children. One new feature of the junior high school program has been the introduction of developmental reading. John 'Brescia is carrying out this program at the William Diamond Junior High School and Mrs. Elyse Levy at the Muzzey Junior High School. In the elementary schools each principal is responsible for developing new pro- grams. As an illustration, we can point with pride to the Adams School under the direction of William E. Sim, Principal. Here, the reading program that had been carried on for years was reviewed, and after much study by the staff, Mr. Sim, and Miss Elizabeth Howe, reading consultants, it was decided to introduce the new Winston communication system. One other feature of our elementary school practices is that of having some teachers stay two years with the same class. At the Fiske School this has been going on for three years. At the Hastings School three teachers were given the opportunity to move on with their class this year. Under the team teaching ar- rangement at the Franklin School, it was possible this year for all of the pupils in the three teams to have the same set of teachers they had last year. One other curriculum arrangement where there has been a change is the trans- fer of the health education program to physical education from the science pro- gram. This permits science teachers to have more time to teach the basic science concepts. Testing Last year the Science Research Associates Tests were used in grades 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. This year we have continued to use these tests, but now use them in grades 3 through 12. The results of these tests are available to parents through procedures developed by each principal. One other program that is being carried on is the testing in the 2nd and 6th grades where pupils are selected for the Advanced Program. PAUL F. POEHLER, Director of Instruction December 31, 1960 186 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL From casual observation it may appear that each school is similar to another — the same plot with different characters. While this may be true in many respects, it is characteristic of our school system that we are trying to improve the plot and the acting. In this report examples of this will be described. For the purpose of giving each student the opportunity to work up to his capacity, considering his total school and out -of- school life, a new policy was adopted this year making a normal program of five major courses, plus Physical Education and electives, for each student. To give this policy its most practical application, the meaning of "major course" has been broadened. Formerly, a "major course" was one having homework and meeting one period daily, or without homework and meeting two periods daily. The difference of having homework or not having homework does not show the real value of a course to each student. Some courses without homework require as much from some students as other courses with homework do from other students. Furthermore, a non- academic course without homework is of special value to some students just as such courses are of special value to about 900 adults in evening classes this year. Without attempting to make each course of equal value to all students, the new meaning of "major course" is: any full -time course. The policy of requiring five major courses has brought no change for about one - quarter of the students because they were already taking five full -time courses. There has been an increased enrollment in "business courses" in grade 12, lan- guages in grades 10 and 11, science in grade 10, industrial arts, and art. The most obvious change is the smaller number of study periods that students have; there are less than one -half as many in study halls this year. During the year, three surveys were made for the purpose of improving educa- tion in Lexington. In these surveys many points of view have been included: teach- ers and administrators in the high school and from other school systems; professors and students of education with various backgrounds of training and experience, and from different parts of the country; and interested Lexington citizens. An evaluation under the direction of the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools consisted of a self - evaluation by members of the faculty in 19 areas of study, in which they used the rating items and methods of the Evalua- tive Criteria of the Cooperative Study of Secondary School Standards. This was followed by an appraisal of these evaluations by 56 high school teachers and ad- ministrators from 34 schools similar to ours who visited our school for that pur- pose. The report of this Visiting Committee contains 135 items of commendation and 139 recommendations. This process of evaluation is being carried out by the high schools in New England as a method of accreditation by the New England Association. The self - evaluation by teachers is considered the most important part of it. The Lexington Secondary School Study was made by over 60 able, civic- minded citizens working on 14 committees each of which studied one area or subject field. Their reports, totaling 148 pages, are concise statements of the observations, opinions, sug_estions and recommendations of the majority of each committee. The study of Lexington schools by graduate students at the Harvard School of Education contains some materials having to do with the high school specifically, SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 187 together with a good deal that is related indirectly. It does not have as many "recommendations" as the other surveys, but a great many recommendations are implied in the Review of the Educational Program, which is in the nature of a statement of a philosophy and suggested methods for a good system of education. Having these three surveys, each taking the greater part of the school year, has been a real experience; any one of them would have been a highlight for one year. Members of the faculty attended meetings, welcomed committee members to their classes and gave them copies of plans and materials and texts in order to furnish all the information desired. The extent and completeness of these surveys is evident; they contain the sincere, thoughtful views of more than 100 capable people; they raise questions that need to be answered; they provide a host of ideas that need to be dealt with; they give us new ideas and a new stimulus in cur effort to continue to improve education in Lexington. They need to be analyzed and helpful parts used. During this year members of the faculty are reading, studying and reflecting on the parts of each survey that apply to their work, putting the recommendations under the following six categories: A. Unacceptable to the professional staff for reasons enumerated. B. Acceptable and already in operation. C. Acceptable to the staff and has been or is being implemented. D. Acceptable but requires more time to implement. E. Acceptable but requires formal action by the School Committee. F. Acceptable but requires formal action by the School Com- mittee and budgetary provisions. In some departments this has already been accomplished. Approved recom- mendations are being or will be adopted in appropriate ways. If it is implied that these surveys found the school to be in need of drastic improvement, banish the thought. Although two of the surveys made no com- mendations for good features of the school work, members of these groups showed that they saw much of which they approved. Visitors from other schools were looking for good ideas to use in their schools, as well as trying to help us improve; several returned another day to see more of the school work; some have written for specific information since then. All in all these three surveys have given us much that is good. Possibly the experience was also as valuable to the mem- bers of these committees as their contributions were to the school. There are certain characteristics of the efforts of the high school faculty to improve their teaching that give evidence of the good work already being done. They are seeking better ways of teaching all students, realizing that the more able academically respond with more imagination and deeper understanding, require less drill and explanation for basic ideas, and in a multitude of ways are far different from those who have difficulty learning abstract ideas by reading. Group- ing students in classes according to such characteristics makes it possible to vary the instruction and the subject covered to fit their needs. A great many special projects are carried out to give different learning experiences, to add to the in- terest in learning and to broaden and enrich the material covered. Such efforts to find new and better ways of teaching are characteristic of good schools. 188 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Making use of audio - visual aids is another attempt to teach effectively. Dur- ing the past year, over 260 films and 32 sets of filmstrips were used, all specifically related to the subject matter being taught; in some rooms record players and tape recorders are frequently used, e. g., every day in all beginning modern language classes; in some classes the opaque projector or overhead projector sometimes pro- vides a more effective teaching method. Television programs of educational value are used in some classes, including outstanding broadcasts which contribute to learning in literature, science and economic or civic affairs. Some teachers are making use of the special knowledge of Resource Persons. Seventy -two guest speakers came to speak to classes or larger groups during the year. For the sake of the educational experience they get, students usually help plan such meetings and take charge of inviting and making arrangements with the speaker, being host or hostess, conducting the meeting and following it with a proper expression of gratitude. On 34 occasions groups of students went to a museum, a theatre or a scientific or business establishment. Such activities, al- ways of real educational value, are increasingly making use of these resources. In addition, opportunities are provided for the students to develop responsibility and self - reliance. They may have the experience of helping plan and conduct the class work and special activities, such as class or club meetings and assemblies. Special emphasis is put on learning to study independently, to get information from all available sources covering all sides of a question, to make a judgment and then to express a view clearly. The success of this type of experience is shown by the letter from a professor to the student leader (not the teacher) of a group of seniors who demonstrated a typical unrehearsed class discussion at the college: "You and your fellow students presented one of the best demonstrations that I ever observed. Comments volunteered by members of the audience confirm my judgment that it was a superb exhibition of which you, your classmates, and your teacher should be proud. Several of the students were amazed at the mature manner in which participants expressed themselves. Particularly impressive was the variety and quality of ideas expressed. College professors always are pleased to have students who are able to search out, organize, and express ideas. It was a pleasure to note that participants were able to challenge statements made by each other without becoming angry or overly emotional in the process." In various ways teachers are working together trying out new ideas to improve their teaching. For some years, two or more classes of similar students have been scheduled to meet at the same time, or in pairs in consecutive periods, so that teachers may plan the work together and regroup the students at any time in order to fit their progress or the type of work by the different types of students. This gives the teachers the freedom to vary the sizes of classes for various purposes, to have double period classes, to share their special talents in teaching, to coordinate the work done in each subject, to integrate the work of two subjects, and to try out other possible ways of teaching effectively when and if it seems desirable. This informal, flexible arrangement provides the opportunity for teachers to im- prove their teaching by working together with a minimum of restraints. After trying to show ways in which the faculty is trying to improve the teach- ing at the high school, let us now face the question most co mmonly asked: How good is our school compared to other schools? Or, as it is often expressed: How well does it prepare for college? S'CH'OOL DE'PARTME'NT 189 There is no all - inclusive measure of a school. It is good in different respects for different students to different degrees. There are, however, evidences of good school work that may be cited. The report of the Visiting Committee from neighboring schools and their personal comments while they were here show their respect for the teaching they saw. 'Frequent visitors during each year from schools and colleges show their ap- proval of various aspects of the school work. The success of our graduates in all types of colleges and institutions of learning beyond the high school, in which many are placed in advanced sections or excused from required courses and many earn scholastic honors and in which many get grades similar to those they earn in high school, has given the school a good reputation with admissions officials. Grad- uates returning from college frequently 'report that they are unusually well pre- pared in various ways, compared to their classmates. The results of tests of educa- tional development show that each of our classes stands well up in the highest 10% of the many schools in the country that use this test. The high number of of our students who win distinction in the National Merit Scholarship Test show that their high ability has been applied satisfactorily to their studies. Frequently, new students entering from other schools find that their progress is behind that of similar classes in this school. These and similar signs of the type of work being done are re- assuring and gratifying. Respectfully submitted, ;MANFRED L. WARREN, Principal REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE WILLIAM DIAMOND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL As we pick up the chronicle of Diamond's first year of operation on January 1, 1960, we find students and staff at home and comfortable in their new building after one month of occupancy. Many important inaugural occasions marked the ensuing months. Some of the more significant of these are: The Dedication Exercises on February 28th. The Inauguration of the use of the gymnasium with a Diamond - Muzzey basketball game. The first PTA Open House. The first dramatic productions, two pantomimes and then our first full - length play "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay." The first concerts, a combined band concert with Reading and the spring concert featuring both choral and instrumental music. The first art exhibit, displaying exciting and creative work from all Lexington schools. The first dance. Two other major activities of the spring months were evaluation and orientation, evaluative studies of the school which were made both by a Harvard Field Study Group and by a Lexington Citizens' Committee. The publication of the reports of both of these studies in the summer has provided unique opportunities for continuing self - analysis and growth throughout the school program. 190 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Orientation received major emphasis during May and June. All 6th grade classes were visited by Diamond administration and guidance staffs in May, and visits of these classes to Diamond were arranged in June. In addition, a meeting of 6th grade parents at the school afforded opportunities for explanation of the program and answers to parents' questions. In June we reluctantly parted with our first "graduates /' This class had set high standards of leadership, loyalty, and responsibility for all present and future Diamond students. We are indebted to them for their significant contribution to a promising first year. During the summer months Diamond was host to Lexington's first extensive summer workshops in which many of its own staff took part. In this stimulating environment plans for the coming year took shape. In August, some future administrative changes were announced which would bring to William Diamond as principal on January 1st, John M. Hibbard, presently Assistant Principal at the Lexington High School. The 1960 -61 school year started on September 7th with an enrollment of 842 pupils and an expanded professional staff of 51 members. There were a number of important innovations in the program including: A beginning French class for qualified 7th grade pupils. Reduction to three activity periods per week allowing 32 periods per week for the scheduling of classes. The inauguration of a full -time remedial and developmental reading program for those pupils in the 7th and 8th grade who would derive most benefit from this opportunity. The encouragement of most 9th grade students to elect a program of five major subjects. Changes in the science offering including transfer of health educa- tion to the Physical Education Department, reduction of general Science to a two year course, and the addition of earth science as a specialized science in the 9th grade. The use by one -half of our 7th grade mathematics classes of the "SMSG" materials developed by a Yale study group during the past few years and now widely used in schools throughout the country. The use in all French classes of techniques, texts, and teaching aids based on the direct method of instruction stressing fluency and aural comprehension rather than grammar and translation. The expansion of the Physical Education Department to incorporate Health Education and ultimately to provide greater opportunities for developmental activities. The scheduling of teacher team meetings within the school day at least once a week, teams to consist of four or five teachers as- signed to the same divisions. At these meetings teachers consider the needs of each individual pupil, and the most effective coor- dination of all his learning experiences. 'SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 191 The institution of a Related Arts Program designed to integrate music, the arts, and drama, and to encourage the exchange of experiences in related arts among neighboring schools. Increased use of large group instruction to make wider use of special competencies of our own staff and of citizens in the community. The introduction of a rotation system of guidance assignment which will enable counselors to follow a grade through the junior high years and perhaps ultimately through all six secondary school years. The establishment of a Faculty Meeting Steering Committee to plan and conduct the monthly meetings. The construction of a constitution and the award of a charter from the National Junior Honor Society. Although we have been encouraged by many evidences that we have made a promising start, we see a number of areas in which improvement is needed, and we are now turning our attention to this task. A hopeful look into the future shows progress in the following directions: A more suitable program for pupils of limited academic aptitude. A schedule which provides better opportunities for 9th grade pupils in music, art, industrial arts and homemaking. Improvement in marking and reporting procedures. Development of techniques to provide more immediate and con- tinuous surveillance of each pupil's performance and progress. Wider use of test results for better understanding of pupils, and for bolstering weaknesses in instruction. More systematic and effective use of special help and make up provisions in our schedule. More opportunities for remedial and developmental instruction in all fields. Greater flexibility of scheduling and grouping to permit both large and very small group instruction when either is more appropriate to the educational task than traditional classes of 25 to 30. Increased opportunities for individual study or research by pupils who are ready for such freedom. Greater attention in physical education to the non - athlete, and to individual differences and special needs. Transportation provisions that allow more wide - spread participation in such after school activities and opportunities as: special help, make -up, intramural sports, club meetings, rehearsals, library reading or research, extra opportunities in Shop, Art, Music, homemaking, etc. As the end of the year approaches and my transfer to the High School becomes imminent, I should like to express to the William Diamond Junior High School staff my deep appreciation for their enthusiastic and capable participation in the exciting task of forming a new school, and to the pupils of the school's first two years, my 192 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT gratitude for their realization of their role in establishing Diamond traditions,, standards, and spirit. In my new position at the High School I shall benefit also from the many years of fine leadership afforded by Mr. Merrill F. Norlin, retiring Principal of the Muzzey Junior High School. With the outstanding staff of the Lexington High School and the incoming products of Muzzey and William Diamond Junior High Schools, how can Lexington lose? Respectfully submitted, CHARLES C. JOHNSON, Principal REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE MUZZEY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL It is with a sense of pride and appreciation that my last report on the Muzzey Junior High School is written: Pride in the staff and pupils and their accomplish- ments; Appreciation for the privilege of working with pupils, staff and parents over the past thirty -odd years. Muzzey Junior High School has reached a high point in morale and achieve- ment. This is due primarily to the dedication of its teachers and the responsiveness of its pupils. Towards its major goal of academic excellence, definite progress is evidenced in this fall's school -wide test scores. Since growth is more important than high marks, it is noteworthy that Muzzey's 8th and 9th grade pupils showed an improvement of 12 months (measured by test standards) over a 9 -month period in major subject areas. The introduction of a "homework" period and the growing guidance responsibility of homeroom teachers have contributed significantly to the progress of students. A major factor in both pupil adjustment and subject correlation has been the full implementation of the Muzzey Team Concept. This has been made possible by Mr. Bair's recognition of its value and the consequent additions to the teach- ing staff. Under the Muzzey plan, a team of four to six teachers concentrate on the progress of a limited number of students. Each teacher is a specialist in his subject and works with each pupil regularly, five times a week. He also meets regularly, a minimum of twice a week, with the other subject teachers who have the same pupils. Thus a multiple and cooperative approach is applied to finding the best en- couragement for the needs of each pupil. The participation of Guidance personnel contributes much to the Teams' understanding of individual pupil needs. Another recognized outcome of the full sharing responsibility by each team member has been the interrelations of subject disciplines. Teachers have planned units together insuring both new learning stimulations and better correlated home study. A new flexibility in using large and small group techniques and elastic periods has been an additional outcome. The School Library has become a live center of the educational program. Under the librarian's leadership expansion of opportunities for pupil and teacher use of facilities has been noteworthy. The response of parents to the request for appro- priate books resulted in the addition of 500 volumes which have provided new sources for research and enjoyment. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 193 •A much needed Remedial Reading program started this year at Muzzey. The full time of a competent reading specialist is providing help for pupils who are retarded. In addtion, this specialist is working with English teachers to help them in improving the reading of average readers who should do better. The promise of improved reading skills throughout the entire school is already apparent. As indicated earlier, the major strength of the school has been the cooperation of the secretarial, guidance and teaching staff in the interests of boys and girls. There has been achieved a sense of Muzzey Loyalty which pays dividends in the extra time and professional help given to make school experiences for pupils both stimulating and rewarding. Some of the specific outcomes would include: 1. An active and influential Honor Society. 2. An excellent school paper. 3. A Student Council which has demonstrated the acceptance of responsibility and executed program of real worth to the school. 4. A Vertical File Club has accumulated research and source ma- terials. 5. An Audio - Visual Club provides competent operators at all grade levels for full utilization of visual aids. 6. Guidance booster classes have given new hope to pupils failing in school subjects. 7. A stimulating and basically strong program in art and music offers a broad range for pupil interest and talent. 8. Boy and Girl Leadership Clubs in the Physical Education class- es where a variety of leadship opportunities are provided. A natural corollary of teacher cooperation and leadership has been evidenced in the following highlights of student participation: 1. Strong leadership of 9th grade pupils who are eager to make Muzzey a fine school. 2. A representative and active Student Council. • 3. The zeal of the pupils in the Honor Society to make excel- lence a desirable goal. 4. The creativeness and enthusiasm which is apparent in the school paper and innumerable interesting class projects. 5. An outstanding science exhibit together with excellent displays of student work in industrial and household arts. 6. The competence shown by students in accepting full responsi- bility for morning exercises and noontime programs. 7. The fine competitive spirit shown by pupils in athletic con- tests. A further important factor at Muzzey has been a sense of partnership between school and parents. The parent- teacher leadership and . effective program plan- ning is the result of full cooperation and a sense of parent - teacher unity. This has grown largely from programs, scheduling of parent conferences for solving in- dividual pupil problems, and in the contributions parents have made to the class- rooms. Many have given talks, demonstrations, book reviews and participated in student panels. 194 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT In sum., it is the harmonious and intelligent working together of the people involved in the total educational program which is the key to Muzzey's growth. A special tribute must be paid to the loyal teachers of long tenure who have, while effectively carrying on their own responsibilities, given the much needed assist- ance to new teachers as the school staff has grown. These are dedicated teachers who must be given major credit for Lexington's excellent school rating. Their number constantly grows as newer teachers have time to make the imprint which can be expected from the outstanding calibre which has been evidenced. It can be confidently expected that the cooperation of pupils, staff and parents will insure the growing effectiveness of Muzzey Junior High School in better helping boys and girls as they progress towards fuller self - realization and re- sponsible citizenship. Respectfully submitted, MERRILL F. NORLIN, Principal REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND SERVICES In any annual report it is possible to cover only the highlights of a year's work. However, the Office of Instructional Materials and Services enjoys a distinct ad- vantage in this respect. Since its function is largely advisory, and since it offers service and assistance to all grade levels and in all subjects, the reports of other administrators will deal with many matters in which this office played a part— in planning, in execution, in evaluation. This report will be concerned mainly with progress and problems in which ac- tion has originated from the Office of Instructional Materials and Services. Instructional Materials Exhibit. A feature of each school year is the annual Instructional Materials Exhibit organized by this office. At this exhibit, teachers can see at first hand a large variety of new materials and equipment. Exhibitors representing major book ccmpanies, audio- visual distributors, map and globe deal- ers, and many other instructional materials concerns set up displays of their latest materials and devices. Lexington also acts as host to school people from other towns, so that others may also benefit from this exhibit. At the last exhibit, on February 4, 1960, there were 65 companies represented and, in addition to Lexington's teachers, over 550 teachers and administrators from 63 other communities attended. The next exhibit is planned for March 16, 1961, from 12 to 5 p. m., at the Lexington Senior High School. Materials Evaluation Program. The wealth of new materials on display at each annual exhibit has clearly indicted the need for some method of evaluation of these materials as they become available. ''Plans have been made, starting in January of 1961, to hold monthly meetincs to evaluate new materials. Instead of relying on catalogue discriptions, teachers will soon have reference to evaluations of materials which were made with Lexington's particular curriculum and standards in mind. Elementary Film Needs. Our present method of scheduling film use in the elementary schools is becoming increasingly unsatisfactory. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 195 1. We are renting films which, to be obtained at all, must be definitely scheduled for the entire school year during the pre- ceding spring. 2. Even though an attempt is made to correlate these films with the Elementary Social Studies Guide, a) no allowance can be made for the pace at which different classes "cover" the units in the guide: and b) it is impossible to effectively schedule films for other subject areas. 3. Our present method of circulation of films is inflexible, and we are just barely able to accomplish complete circulation within the 3 -week limit set by the rental agencies. Entirely aside from the above factors, it is quite feasible, on an economic basis alone, to consider the establishment of our own film library. While we do obtain certain benefits from membership in the Massachusetts Department of Education Film Cooperative, the following facts and figures may be of interest: 1. The film rental cost of one 10- minute color film for the 3 weeks we use it is $12.00. 2. Outright purchase price of the same film —$110. 3. Normal physical life of a film — 10 years minimum. 4. In 10 years of rental we would have paid $120 for the use of this film (for only 15 school days each year). 5. For $10 less we could have owned the film and had unlimited flexibility in using it. It can, of course, be argued that some items are out -of -date before ten years go by. It is equally true, however, that the concepts presented in many good films do not change, and with proper evaluation we can select a large number of such films. While it may seem that, in acquiring a film library, we add problems of maintenance and record - keeping, we are really only exchanging these present problems of yearly booking with various agencies, transportation Lexington, and a system of scheduling within our schools which is not enough to meet the needs of a modern curriculum. Professional Resources. In our rapidly- expending school system there is an in- creasing need for some central location in which may be found and from which may be circulated a wide range of resource materials for the use of the professional staff. The ultimate result, indeed the major goal, of such a center should be im- proved learning conditions and better teaching for the children of Lexington. One of the major functions of such a center would be to house, catalogue, and make available professional literature, sample texts, pamphlets, catalogues, pe- riodicals and other reference materials vital to the professional staff. There is a great deal of this sort of materials scattered throur h cur schools at present, but no one knows how much, where it is or how to get it. Even if it remains in the individual buildings, it should be catalogued in a central location so that it can be made more widely available. In many instances, a central source for materials would eliminate unnecessary duplication. While frequency of use and relatively low cost favor decentralization of such instructional materials as filmstrips, disc records and the like, there are certain materials, including some of the more esoteric records and filmstrips which, un- questionably valuable, may be used so infrequently as to eliminate need for more storage, for the outside flexible 196 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT than one copy. This is especially true of certain maps, exhibits, flat pictures, diazo slides and some of the more expensive materials such as 16mm films, models, mockups, dioramas, etc. These materials could be housed and distributed from such a center. There are certain services to teachers which could and should be centralized to make them more effective. At present, whatever is being done in regard to production of special teaching materials — flat picture mountings, posters, diazo slides, photography, and the like — is being done by teachers in the individual buildings with such time and assistance as the building coordinators can spare for it. Eventual centralization of much of this work with a full -time production spe- cialist, should result in planned production of a much better quality. Another valuable service such a center could provide would be that of keep- ing the professional staff posted on new techniques and new materials available. Facilities for preview and evaluation of filmstrips, slides, 16mm films, tapes, disc records and the like would be of tremendous value in guiding our program of pur- chasing for use in the individual schools. Teachers interested in learning about new materials and deciding on their value would have in one center all the pre- view facilities to meet this need. As previously indicated, we are approaching a point at which it will be more economical and certainly more desirable for effective distribution to have our own film library. This, too, would be a logical function of a professional resources center. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD G. WOODWARD, Coordinator REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST This has been a year of organization. There have been some accomplishments, I am sure, but there have been dissatisfactions which have grown out of precon- ceptions about a psychologist's role in Lexington and impossible hopes that the "panacea" had been acquired. The net result of this situation has been something of a dilemma: an attempt to do thorough, comprehensive work in an individual case restricts the number and variety of services that can be rendered; and an effort to respond to all the needs which might appropriately express themselves, naturally leads to spreading our services too thin to make a significant contribu- tion in any one area. Possibly some of this problem arises from the understandable tendency to justify the addition of a new staff member on the basis of the num- ber of present services which could logically accrue to his list of responsibilities, rather than beginning with a situation that allows more room for adding to those services which are already provided in some way. It has been said that the present position has become that of an administrative psychologist, which has some ines- capable basis in fact, but it may be that this is a necessary forerunner in the process of meeting the psychological needs of our schools. 'More time is needed for the study and handling of the problems of individual children; a school adjustment counselor or an additional psychologist could make a major contribution in this area. There is a need for more individual counseling on a continuous basis in the secondary schools, where the guidance counselors are required to concentrate on educational and vocational aspects of guidance; this is a stage when some children can be helped to help themselves if only some SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 197 interested, more mature person is available for assistance in that direction. Out- side facilities for this type of help are hopelessly committed in advance, leaving the only wise recourse in the hands of the local communities. In this connection we are very fortunate in having the Lexington Counseling Service and the Mystic Valley Children's' Clinic within the community. Although these facilities also have heavy demands for service, we have been helped in our own efforts through con- sultation services provided by the Childrens Clinic. Aside from the ubiquitous problems of time and responsibilities, perhaps the most pressing issue that is in need of consideration is our testing program for early admission to the first grade. There are several factors that suggest this procedure is outmoded in our system and it may well be that more harm is done than good That is, this testing is inescapably related to the fact that we now have an Ad- vanced Program for which children are considered in Grade 2. It would be natural to accept those with the highest ability who apply for early admission to the first grade, but are we thereby jeopardizing their competitive standing when that later decision is made, which has much more far - reaching implications than starting school at an earlier age? Thus it becomes less clear that those with the highest ability should automatic- ally be admitted early. Then, if it is possbile to distinguish between this group and the children whose abilities lie between this gifted level and the "average" level of ability, which might be designated the "superior" level, we have about as clear a category — in terms of ability — as we might hope to establish for early admission; but when this number is further reduced by the many other factors that are considered in our decisions, there remains a small enough group of child- ren who might possibly be adversely affected by waiting another year as to raise the question of this program's validity. Much more distressing to a school psychologist- than the possible adverse effects on those who would not be admitted if this program did not exist is the effect on parents and children who are involved in this program in this way. Parents are inclined to feel that this procedure has been established only to verify the fact that their child is normal or tends toward being "bright," rather than understand- ing that the majority of children are not expected to be ready for school at this age — or the entrance age would be chanced. They tend to be chagrined when admission is not permitted, and some feel so strongly about the matter that their future relationship with their child's school is jeopardized. It is particularly diffi- cult for the parents of an extremely bright child to understand why admission might not be granted. This writer has heard more regrets expressed in regard to children who were admitted early in past years and at some later time met difficulties which may have been affected by that fact than he has relief or genuine satisfaction with the early admission and subsequent scholastic performance. This situation also contributes to the beginning of a pressuring pattern in the relationship between parents and child, a problem whose results are only too fa- miliar in the secondary schools. It is appalling sometimes to witness the tension and anxiety that has been engendered within the child who comes to apply for early admission. What should be a really enjoyable experience for the child begins with such foreboding that he cannot understand that this need not be threatening; to be sure, it is threatening in its possible effects on his relationship with his pa- rents. Unless handled with wise understanding at home, must not the child who is not accepted feel this as a rejection from the school? In those cases where the parents themselves have difficulty accepting the decision, this must be doubly so. 198 (SCHOOL 'DEPARTMENT In instances where a child has been pressured to excel so that he will be accepted, is it not likely that the pressure will continue no matter what the decision either as a reaction to this "failure" or to prevent his later withdrawal from school? Even though this pressure may not be directly related to early admission itself, a child might be in a stronger position to respond to it if he were not the youngest in his group. A study is now underway which may provide some evidence about the success of this program, although it is my understanding that this study will not go be- yond the elementary schools and it is sometimes in the adolescent years that the fact that a pupil is the youngest in the group becomes significant for him. This is another facet of the problem that is difficult to assess in a pre - school child and is very difficult for a parent to appreciate that far in advance. One final point which is related to these considerations although it is not di- rectly involved because we have no way of approaching it is the matter of those children who enter school without question simply because their birthday is be- fore January but who may not be any more ready than some who have the benefit of a psychological evaluation to determine their readiness. The point is that lines do have to be drawn and there are always those cases which do not ideally con- form to these lines; if there is to be an area of individual consideration on one side of a line, it seems reasonable that this should extend in the other direction as well, and even then there will arise new borderline decisions. There are individual in- equities in any procedure that is set up to administer to the needs of a large num- ber; perhaps it becomes a matter of considering which inequities will do the least harm and how this possibility can be dealt with. As long as the present policy is in effect, every effort will be made to improve and refine our assessment procedures and to implement that policy as satisfactorily as possible. Respectfully submitted, ARNOLD G. HEBB, JR., School Psychologist REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSES The school year of 1959 started with four nurses on the staff. With the opening of the new junior high and the expansion of the school population new procedures, policies, and equipment have had to be considered. School health ser - /ices have necessarily grown. Routine hearing and vision screening procedures are involving increasing amounts of time. This year has seen the establishment of regular meetings of the school physicians and nurses to discuss problems, evaluate services, and make recommendations to administrative personnel. Also, we find an increasing number of the required physical examinations (60 %) being made by the family physician with the findings made available to the school, making the family physician an important member of the school health team. We have sent representatives to the State Nurses meetings and the School Nurse Association meetings. Our group continues to take advantage of the courses offered at local colleges. One of our members is on the executive board of the Massachusetts Nurses Association. We have membership on the boards of two volunteer health agencies. To be included in the membership of the local teachers association was gratifying to us. We feel it will be of mutual benefit. (SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 199 200 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT We would like to review and enlarge our safety program; to formulate some sound preventive measures based on careful study.

REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF THE ADVANCED PROGRAM The experience of working with children of the Advanced Program throughout the school year of 1959 -60 and the months since September resulted in improved knowledge of their needs, significant decisions as to curriculum and methods, as well as expected problems. The first groups are now in Grades four and eight; this fall 119 were recommended for the program at Grades three and seven. What progress has the year brought? First, and perhaps most important, we now have in the system ten or more teachers with more than a year's experience in working with a group of intellectually talented children. At least this amount of time is necessary before a teacher learns the capacities and capabilities of such. a group. Teachers and administrators of the Program have done more than merely observe the children of Lexington. Group meetings, the summer workshop for curriculum development, a joint conference with teachers of similar groups in Malden and Cambridge, consultation with and a talk by Dr. A. Harry Passow, Director of the Talented Youth Project at Columbia University, as well as study of research findings . in the field — all have added to the scope of knowledge of personnel connected_ with the Program. With the establishment of the classes, the problem of what to teach had to be faced immediately. Research findings offered no clear answers. National groups have only recently commenced concentrated study of suitable offerings in special fields such as science or mathematics; some group work has resulted in conflicting recommendations; other areas have not established any professional study group. Teachers in the school system, with the aid of principals, department heads and consultants, must decide the nature of the subjects taught. In Lexington it was agreed that the basic materials and skills required of a particular grade be covered first by pupils in the Advanced Program. Experience has taught us this may be accomplished in a relatively short time, so it is necessary to add enrichment activities and to pursue topics in greater depth. Although we do not want to rush through units rapidly, some acceleration does take place. In . the elementary grades materials and projects for enrichment include work suggested by the School Mathematics Study Group or the Madison Mathematics Project. A new course has been developed for social studies; more emphasis is on creative or original writing and a more challenging type of reading is encouraged; use of TV for the Special French adds to the usual course. At the Junior High Schools, similar adjustments are made: the study of civics is incorporated in the American History of the seventh grade; English introduces Shakespeare and classic myths and encourages a variety of writing experiences; the language study is supplemented by a unit on French geography and extra reading; the mathematics courses use the Yale materials; science units encourage much more laboratory experimentation. Teachers are also working together to provide experiences that cut across subject lines and coordinate the work of several departments at the junior high level. A series of special lectures will be sponsored centering about a common theme, as a device to show the value of cooperative effort of all disciplines to meet our common goals. A plan for integrated work in humanities in English and Social Studies was developed during the summer workshop with this purpose in mind. We have made, therefore, some progress in what is to be taught. The next question is the how. Research provides no definitive answers for us here. We do find agreement that bright children should be given an opportunity for individual projects, group study and presentations; there should be an emphasis on problem - solving techniques. So, individual projects in science, special studies in Social Studies such as a survey of Lexington Town Government or a class project on Lexington's geologic and geographic make -up, use of pupil leaders in French, planning with pupils and evaluation by pupils, use of panels and committee reports, training in techniques of writing, organization, use of libraries — all are stressed in Advanced Program classes as early as possible. Because children of this ability deal easily with generalizations and concepts, emphasis is put on seeing relationships and significance in the material and facts learned. The decisions above create their own problems. First, we must obtain more and more teachers who are experimental in approach, are students in their own right with broad cultural interests — teachers, indeed, tolerant of pupils who are non - conformists in attitude and thought, yet persistent in their expectations of highest standards. They must be willing to work on curriculum revision and to adapt findings .as the work progresses throughout the year. Secondly, we need special materials and a wide range of sources. Children in the Program read normally two to five years above grade level. Not only must we build library resources for our immediate needs; we must plan for the future at the upper secondary level where a much broader range and more difficult type of reading must be provided. For some courses, teachers must build their own collec- tions of readings. It is obvious this requires much extra time for the Advanced Program teacher. Teachers concern themselves with the what and the how. It is the special re- sponsibility of the Advanced Program Committee to recommend the who. Research is beginning to discover many aspects to intellectual giftedness, but no better method is yet available to select children for the Program than the one we use. We cannot wait until psychologists find infallible measures of human ability — (will they ever ?) but we must work with the information we have: teachers' judgments, group intelligence tests, achievement tests and the individual intelligence test administered by a trained psychologist. The addition of a psychologist to the school staff has been of inestimable advantage. Two years of work in this area SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 201 have enabled us to refine and improve our identification techniques. When special studies now under way in the Universities of Minnesota and Chicago are completed we may be able to add new measures to our process of identification. The final test of success in this area will be known after several years of study of children in and out of the Program. One problem facing us is that of maintained flexibility in the Program in the face of teachers' findings that it is harder and harder for new pupils to be admitted to the classes from regular sections without handicapping the progress of those already in the group. So far we have been able to make some transfers, but the problem will be more difficult. This situation has several implications for our planning. One, it is an indication that Lexington's Advanced Program is not merely administrative — that is, a grouping of pupils without significant change in the methods and curriculum of the class. This would make the special groups meaningless. Second, it means that we must exert every effort to make wise placements in the Program and to evaluate such decisions throughout the year following the selection. Third, it means that the groups must be kept together with a minimum of additions at upper levels if the advantages of the Program for those in it are to be maintained. Certainly it could defeat the work of special planning by teachers and adminis- trators, if the group was not required to work at steadily increasing maturity and with highly developed skills. This means careful and creative scheduling by prin- cipals at the secondary levels. Soon we will be asked for specific evidence of the value of the special classes — and rightly so. We have collected parent and pupil questionnaires, test results, samples of work, teachers' anecdotal comments and special reports. All this will demand time to evaluate. It is easy to measure what has been learned on stand- ardized tests, but such tests are not adequate, for pupils learn much more than tests measure. Tests of the short answer type especially penalize the intellectually talented who see alternative solutions or read greater depth into questions where only the most obvious answer is credited as correct. No test measures what a child fails to learn because he has not been asked to work up to his potential. Thus we face a major problem in giving exact answers to the question, "What good is an Advanced Program ?" The real test will come from graduates who go on to success in their chosen fields and who testify that the work required of them their very best and gave them an experience in the joy of learning for its own sake. This does not mean we shall not make every effort to carry on studies which add to our knowledge about the children, the best methods of teaching such groups and the appropriate curriculum, and indicate the strengths and weaknesses in what we do. For all that must still be done, teachers need time. The best opportunity for this lies in continuing the summer workshops. Here, free from the pressures of a regular sol+ool year, there is time to read, to seek out new materials, to consider methods of teaching. Only at this time can we obtain help and guidance from specialists in the field. It enables teachers of several levels to meet together to develop the sequence of skills and units from grade to grade. We must maintain contacts with other school systems working with similar problems. We must use the advantages of the highly trained personnel available among Lexington citizens and in the colleges and universities in our vicinity. There are problems, but there has been progress. All in the Program appreciate the support of the community which has been given, support which enables us to 202 SCHOOL 'DEPARTMENT carry on this special work for a group of children who perhaps will have much to offer all in the years ahead. Respectfully submitted, CONSTANCE C. MURRAY, Coordinator REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF THE SPECIAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM A year of teaching the "graduates" of our elementary school French program, at seventh grade level (1959 -60), has shown us that the early contact with a foreign language starting in grade three does pay dividends! These pupils have, for the most part, attained a facility of comprehension, an accuracy of pronunciation and an ability to express themselves within the limits of their classroom vocabulary which puts them at ease in the foreign language, and gives them a definite ad- vantage as they start the formal study of the structure of the language at secondary school level. In addition, they have already attained some proficiency in reading the foreign language and an introduction to a culture other than their own through the medium of language itself as a cultural pattern. In terms of time, this means that the pupils of the Special Language Program complete approximately two years of high school French by the time they reach tenth grade. For the Advanced Pro- gram classes the rate of progress and language proficiency will probably be even greater. At Diamond Junior High School there were three classes of seventh grade French, including one class of pupils in the Advanced Program, with a total en- rollment of 71 pupils. At Muzzey Junior High School there were also three seventh grade classes, one of which was an Advanced Program class. The total enrollment there was 57 pupils. The two teachers at seventh grade level were Mrs. Carol Stevens and Miss Elizabeth Ratt6. The ninth grade teachers were Miss Ratte at Diamond and Mrs. Priscilla Tarbox at Muzzey. It also became evident during the course of this school year that a close examination and clarification of our teaching philosophy in foreign languages from grade three through twelve was essential for effective articulation of the program at the upper secondary school level. Consequently, the secondary school principals and teachers of foreign languages discussed with the Coordinator of the Special Language Program the implications of this new problem with regard to scheduling and curriculum development. It was finally agreed that the ninth grade pupils would be kept together the next year in one class to be designated as Special French III and given instruction commensurate with their proficiency and previous background in language. The secondary school teachers also expressed an interest in a beginning course at seventh grade to be taught by the direct meitiod, which is essentially the same as the audio - lingual method used in the program starting at grade three level. The result has been a much more closely -knit philosophy of teaching foreign languages at all levels. In addition, the seventh grade beginning classes help fill the gap between the two levels — grade three and grade nine — which were formerly the grades where most of our pupils began foreign language study. In the elementary schools there were thirty -four classes of French, one class at each grade level in every school. This included two Advanced Program classes ISCHOOL DEPARTMENT 203 at third grade level, one at Adams School and one at Fiske. The total enrollment for elementary school French was 660 pupils. These classes were taught by five part -time specialists: Mrs. Vivian Vogt, Mrs. Carol Stevens, Mrs. Sally Hennessey, Mrs. Carmen Perry and Mrs. Simone Faflick. There were no notable changes in the program at this level with the exception of the use of the television program, Parton Francais, twice a week as a supplement to the regular instruction in the third grade Advanced Program classes. Continued improvement and strengthening of our program were especially evident at fifth and sixth grade levels with the development of tests used at the end of the year for all classes at these levels. The tests are used as a means of evaluating the program as well as a device for testing pupil achievement. A battery of tests for grades three through seven is now avail- able for the program. The introduction of the Advanced Program required some special curriculum adjustments in the Special Language Program. To provide enrichment for these pupils and some acceleration when advisable, the third grades had a thirty- minute supplement to their regular instruction of an hour a week of French. As mentioned previously, the supplement consisted of two fifteen - minute television lessons. This provided daily contact with the language, the opportunity to hear and see a teacher who is native French, and the added motivation and enjoyment provided by effective television teaching. At the seventh grade level the Advanced Program foreign language classes followed essentially the same course of study as the others with the addition of supplementary reading material, a unit on French geography and correspondence with French children of their own age. In planning for the future these recommendations were made: 1. Possible expansion of the program by increased enrollment at third grade level — Since the program is worthwhile more pupils should have the opportunity to take foreign language in the elementary schools. The present method of selection should be reconsidered. It might be perferable to select after the pupils have had a chance to show their language ability for a year or two. The advisability of an increased enrollment in this program would also depend on whether qualified teachers are available. It would not be wise to expand the program at the risk of sub- standard teaching. 2. Change in scheduling to allow daily class periods for grades three through six. The problem of recall would be greatly de- creased and the effectiveness of the program greatly increased if the pupils had daily contact with the foreign language. Ac- cording to the Modern Language Association and the recom- mendations of other leaders in this field, daily classes are es- sential to successful language learning especially at the early stages. The suggested change in schedule for grades three and four would include two fifteen - minute periods of television program, Parlons Francais. At junior high level, in grades seven and eight, it would be advisable to increase the class meetings per week to five or a minimum of four. One of these periods could be used for work in the language laboratory when such facilities are available. The ninth grade classes do meet daily at present. 204 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT In connection with the above recommendation to examine more reliable means of selection of pupils for the program, Dr. John B. Carroll, Professor of Education at Harvard, tested the third, fourth and fifth grade pupils at the Harrington School in the spring of 1960 to determine their language aptitude. Dr. Carroll's test for modern language aptitude at the elementary school level was then in the process of being developed and a school in Lexington was chosen as one of the control groups. When the scores are available a comparative study will be made of the results and the selection made with criteria used in the program up to the present. The Special Language Program in Lexington continues to be a model for other communities interested in starting similar foreign language programs. Not all our problems are solved by any means, but those of us engaged in teaching in this program feel that we are making a worthwhile contribution to the education of pupils in the school system. We appreciate the interest and enthusiasm shown by administrators, teachers and citizens. Respectfully submitted, ELIZABETH H. RATTE, Coordinator REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF THE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM This year our children have consumed 121,987 more Type A lunches, which is nearing one -half million meals. With the addition of teachers' lunches, the total does exceed one -half million. Children continue to average over 3,000 lunches daily. Milk exceeds 6,100 one -half pint cartons daily, or an increase of over 1,000 as of last year. The combined programs for the year make the milk consumption exceed the million mark.

The three -cent reimbursement continues for the three schools with milk only. An estimated deficit for the school year will amount to $1,800.00 which may be offset by more commodity usage. In 1960 our schools used an ad- ditional $11,945.40 commodity value as compared to 1959. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 205 The State Office Recommendation as to operation percentages deviates slightly due to equipment and replacement purchases. A decrease of 7% less for food expenditures has been brought about by more volume purchasing and competitive bidding. The 2% increase in labor justifies a better Wage Classification System.

Bread Making Report September 1 we improvised a bread making project at William Diamond Junior High using cash on hand to purchase a proofer and a minimum of expendible items to proceed. Equipment with the purchase of polyethylene bags and twisteems for a year's supply, plus express charges, totals $867.07; ingredients besides com- modities used figure $71.52 and salaries $1,013.53. Combined expenditures to date equal $1,952.12; our inventory value December 1 totals $183.65. Our schools have used 3,434 loaves of bread. Rolls have been made only for special luncheons. Production of bread varieties will remain limited by space and availability of equipment that can be purchased in the future. The addition of a completely equipped bakery could add more variety to the school lunch menu of- ferings such as sandwich and fruit rolls, as well as frozen doughs for more inter- esting dessert items, while increasing volume and decreasing food costs. On the average, three days out of a week, our children are eating home -made bread. Days when our eight programs serve bread, over 154 loaves are needed. A day's average production is 78 loaves. We are experimenting with cornmeal, another commodity item, for a third bread offering. In the three months of operation we have used $445.00 value in commodities. ISCHOOL DEPARTMENT 207 Since our costs for this project need to be divided proportionately by eight schools consumption we are continuing this as a special project until June to make charges accurately and to show a true picture. Personnel and Training Including new applications, sixty-five women besides the central office staff comprise the school lunch roster — one - fourth of this number serve as substitutes. Nine withdrawals since January are due to three seeking other employment, two cases prolonged illnesses, three pregnancies, and one found work too strenuous. More and more our staff realize the importance of educational training and professional performance. Evidence is shown by: 1. Regular attendance daily as well as at monthly meetings which are planned to cope with food costing, merchandizing, san- itation, work simplification and improved nutrition practices to meet federal regulations. 2. Exceeding fifty percent paid memberships in the Massachusetts School Food Service Association, our only professional oganiza- tion and by one - twelfth joining our national association. 3. One manager and her assistant attending the October American School Food Service Association convention in Washington, D. C., also this same manager accepting the position of regional delegate for the State association. 4. Staff members accepting transfers, our administrative practice, from one school building to another. 5. 'Regular employees assisting new members that are training on- the -job. 6. Acceptance of schedules, new policies and procedures as well as more detailed production and counter records. 7. The response to the March Institute parent -pupil lunch panel. 8. Staff members attending the spring Boston workshop when school was in session. At the State Teachers' College, Fitch- burg summer workshop one employee enrolled for the full ses- sion while seven commuted two or three days. 9. Twelve of our staff attending the regional spring Massachusetts School Food Service Association supper meeting and thirteen the fall County Convention. 10. Initiating and planning new decorations and holiday displays for serving counters along with the loan of personal and house- hold items. 11. Contributing items of interest or recipes to the Massachusetts School Food Service Association "Full Measure ", a quarterly eight page publication or workers' exchange. 12. Receiving at the central office more applications for work in our new school cafeterias due to staff recommendations. 13. Cooperation with other school department projects as social studies and science experiments. 14. Less temporary workers and more staff taking advantage of fringe benefits as regular employees. 208 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Special Events Additional activities widespread among our schools include preparing and serv- ing luncheons at the Book Fair, the March Institute, two Evaluation Committee dinners, a Regional School Committee dinner. At the elementary school Massa- chusetts Supervisors of Public Education luncheons, a Parent - Teacher Association Sixth Grade supper, four Operation Bootstrap meetings, besides Franklin Parent - Teacher Association School 'Lunch Type "A" Menu supper and Five Fields dinner and miscellaneous coffee breaks with ordering for special functions. More women have assisted at varied evening functions wherein a caterer has been hired or a Parent- Teacher Association has sponsored a supper meeting. Progress and Recommendations Simplification of office procedures and record - keeping along with improved consolidation purchasing practices over the past six years allows more time for growth projects and supervision. I have mailed numerous requests from area superintendents or to other states for manual materials, menus or wage classification schedules which are under study and revision continuously. When Grove Street School opens, freezer space needs may be partially alle- viated. Another year increased participation will necessitate more freezer capacity to adequately service Senior High, Muzzey Junior High and Harrington Schools. With attendance restriction withdrawal at the elementary level freezer space will become a grave problem. Other plans imperative in the future include: (1) replacing the obsolete dish machine at the Senior High and (2) enlarging the dining area with remodeling the Adams School Kitchen. When the value of the United States Government donated foods, gratis meals, inventories and matching funds are added to the 1960 income, School Lunch in Lexington exceeds some forty -five hundred dollars above a quarter of a million dollar business. Noteworthy are some of our articles printed in the Massachusetts state school lunch newsletter, namely, "What's in a Name ", "Education in Action" and Lex- ington's "Mothers' Day at Barrington School." Much of the success of the School Lunch Program is due to dedicated prin- cipals and teachers using the program as an integral part of the children's educa- tion, plus the sincere devotion of our school lunch personnel.

Dental and Posture Clinic From September 1959 through June 1960, Dr. Sumner Frim and Dr. Howard Asarkof served as dentist for the Dental Clinic. In June of 1960, due to the pressure of their private practices, both Dr. Frim and Dr. Asarkof submitted their resignation as Clinic dentists to the Board. The Board of Health, in view of the years of service both Doctors had given to the Dental Clinic, accepted their resigna- tion with regret. At the opening of school in September, 1960, the Clinic was completely staffed with two new dentists, Dr. John Reichheld and Dr. Thomas Bane, both Lexington doctors. The Board of Health is proud of the efficient staff serving the Dental Clinic. For many years Mrs. Agnes Manning served as Posture Clinic Committee Chair- man, but due to ill health, her resignation was regretfully accepted by the Board of Health in March of 1960. Mrs. Gertrude A. Flynn, who had worked with Mrs. Manning as Co- Chairman, accepted the chairmanship of this committee and has been carrying on the commendable work being done by the Posture Clinic. Rabies Clinic The annual Rabies Clinic was held in May, and of the 2019 dogs licensed in Lexington in 1960 only 778 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. Communicable Diseases Chicken Pox 179 Dog Bites 119 German Measles 20 Measles 263 Meningitis 2 Mumps 290 Hepatitis, Infectious 3 Poliomyelitis 0 Salmonellosis 3 Scarlet Fever 27 Streptococcal Sore Throat 1 80 Tuberculosis 4 Typhoid Fever 1 As noted there were no cases of Poliomyelitis during 1960. In February of 1960 the Health Department completed the Poliomyelitis Clinic started in the fall of 1959. An advertising campaign recommending the fourth innoculation was conducted by the Health Department in the Spring of 1960 and it is still recom- mended that in order to keep this dread disease under control a fourth or booster innoculation of Salk Vaccine be obtained by the citizens of Lexington. PUBILIC SERVICE'S 239 Lexington Visiting Nurse Association The Lexington Visiting Nurse Association on behalf of the Health Department made 940 calls on Communicable Disease patients and 244 calls on Tuberculosis patients being treated at home. 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 infant births reported to the Health Department in 1960. Several of these infants were hospitalized for an average of 60 days. Ac- cording to State Law, the Health Department must pay for the infants' hospitaliza- tion if the family is found to be in need. A total of $1,346.10 was paid out for the hospitalization of premature infants in 1960. Glaucoma Clinic In cooperation with the Lexington Lions Club and the Massachusetts Division of the Blind the Health Department participated in a Glaucoma Screening Program in the Spring of 1960. All abnormalities were referred to the persons' own private physician. Of the 269 persons screened, 3 suspected cases of Glaucoma were detected. Dental Clinic Pamphlets and posters were distributed to all Elementary Schools in observance of National Children's Dental Health Week in February. Films on Dental Health have been circulated through the schools at various times during the past year in cooperation with the Audio - Visual department of the public schools. Educational talks and demonstrations on the care and cleanliness of the teeth were given in grades I through III in all elementary schools at various times throughout the year by Mrs. Frances Porter, Dental Hygienist. 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. In the school year ending last June, 58% of all elementary school pupils sub- mitted a dental certificate. This is an increase of 6 percentage points over the previous year. There were 5 classrooms in which every child submitted a certificate. All elementary schools except one had total certificate returns above 50 %, ranging from 53% to 75%. With the beginning of the present school year last September, applications for dental clinic treatment were restricted to elementary pupils. Junior High and Senior High students will be taken only as emergencies or on special recommendation. This decision by the Board of Health was necessary when it became impossible to complete all eligible elementary applicants. 240 PUBLIC SERVICES Operative Report of the Dental Clinic School Patients Fillings -1058 Extractions -98 Cleaning Treatment Dec.

There were 3,481 children examined and 577 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 138 Grades I 3 each Grades I I 2 each Grades III 1 each SCHOOL VISITS 184 CONFERENCES 20 ORAL PROPHYLAXIS 19 SODIUM FLUORIDE TREATMENTS 4 Posture Clinic From January 1, 1960 through December 31, 1960, there were 746 cases of "C" and "D" posture treated in the Lexington Posture Clinic. Children who are in need of corrective posture work are determined through the use of the silhouetteograph camera. Because of increased enrollment and in order to give a longer period of time for corrective classes, pictures were taken in the third and fifth grades of the elementary schools, and the seventh grade of Muzzey Junior High School. Because of space difficulties work cannot be started at the Diamond Junior High School until January, 1961. However, a total of 1,462 pictures were taken during September and October of 1960. Corrective classes, under the direction of Mrs. Angela Donnelly, physiotherapist, were conducted once each week during the school year in all of the elementary schools. In two of the schools it was necessary to hold two weekly classes in order to accommodate the large enrollment. In the Muzzey Junior High School, two classes were held each week, one for boys and one for girls. Three medical clinics were held for special orthopedic examination and recom- mendations. These clinics were conducted by Dr. Gardner F. Fay, orthopedic PUBLIC !SERVICES 241 surgeon of Boston and Concord, on January 23rd, March 26th, and May 21st, under the competent direction of the Posture Committee. Special recommendations were made at these clinics to the parents of 26 children, for treatment beyond the work of the usual Posture Class. Most of the children attending the orthopedic clinics have been accompanied by their parents who then have the opportunity for direct consultation with Dr. Fay. Parents have been most cooperative in complying with the recommendations made, and have shown active interest in the aims and work of the Posture Classes. 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 budget and policies, and act as representatives in each P.T.A. unit.

Respectfully submitted, RUFUS L. McQUILLAN, Chairman 242 PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE HEALTH OFFICER December 31, 1960 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The following is the report of the Executive Health Officer for the year 1960. Laboratory The Health Department laboratory is equipped to perform analysis of milk, water and restaurant swabs on eating and drinking utensils. A Certificate of Approval for the laboratory has been issued by the Massachusetts Department of !Public Health for the year 1960 -61. 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 dur- ing 1960. 125 inspections of eating establishments were made in 1960. Six bakery trucks were stopped for inspection. Two violations were found and quickly corrected. Milk Sanitation There are 23 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 pasteuriza- tion. One dealer was found to be in violation of Lexington's bacterial standard and his license to deliver milk in Lexington was revoked. 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 car- ried on. Water Analysis Samples of bathing waters were collected weekly from the Center Playground pools. Excellent bacteria counts were obtained with each testing. PUBLIC SERVICES 243 All samples analyzed from the Hayden Memorial Pool tested satisfactorily. Samples of bathing waters were collected periodically from the following pools: Lexington Inn Five Fields Community Pools Peacock Farms Community Pools. All samples tested satisfactorily. Several recommendations including safety tips were made to help insure safe bathing conditions at these pools. Ten well water samples were tested. All ten were found to be satisfactory. Lots, Cesspools and Septic Tanks 135 permits for cesspools and septic tanks were issued in 1960. 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 ob- tained 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 950 inspectors were made dur- ing 1960. Sanitation Of New Subdivisions All new developments are thoroughly inspected by a qualified registered en- gineer 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 9 subdivisions submitted to the Board of Health for approval dur- ing 1960. Child Care Centers 19 Child Care Centers were inspected and licensed. No licenses were issued until compliance with health and fire regulations was obtained. Rat Control 34 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 extermina- tors. 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 169 complaints of various types were investigated by me during 1960. Each of these complaints were re- investigated to see that compliance was obtained, and on many occasions several investigations were necessary before the conditions were corrected. 244 "PUBLIC SERVICES The following is a breakdown of these complaints: 29 overflowing sewage systems 41 rubbish and garbage complaints 43 rodent and insect complaints 7 safety hazards to public health 8 not considered public health nuisances. Investigation of Communicable Diseases During 1960 I investigated three reported cases of Salmonella infection and one Typhoid Fever case. In each case the Salmonella infections were traced to contaminated food. The case of Typhoid Fever was contracted in a foreign country. The individual apparently recovered and returned to Lexington. A laboratory analysis revealed that the patient still contained the Typhoid organism within his system and there- fore was perfectly capable of transmitting this disease to others. Upon receiving this information I immediately took the necessary precautions to insure that no unsuspecting person in Lexington would be exposed to this dread disease. Negative cultures have since been received from the patient and his imme- diate family contacts. 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 1960. Two 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. The third was a case involving a milk dealer selling milk in Lexington without a license. A direct complaint was issued in this instance. Other Activities I belong to the following professional organizations: Massachusetts Public Health Association Massachusetts Association of Sanatarians Massachusetts Milk Inspectors Association National Association of Sanatarians I attended all important meetings of the above associations during 1960 with the exception of the National Association of Sanatarians which met in San Francisco, California. 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 PUBLIC SERVICES 245 REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS December 31, 1960 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Although Lexington is considered one of the fast growing suburbs with new houses, split levels, swimming pools and the latest in modern schools and teaching systems it still is a country town. There are twenty -five horse stables, one of these housing a beautiful Morgan Stallion. We are not without a feeling of the West, mild though it may be, there are three beef herds composed of White -face Here- fords, Angus and Durham breeds. We have five dairy herds among them three bulls, two swine herds, three goat herds and two flocks of sheep. We use to have some South American Donkeys but they have disappeared. Thirty -nine 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. Altogether approximately fifty calls were made to accomplish this. This inspection also serves as an annual animal census. The animal census is divided as follows: Cows and Bulls Horses Ponies 79 35 7 Sheep 9 Goats 8 Swine 1025 All animals and premises were found satisfactory. Several groups of out of State cows were checked. These animals had been moved from Vermont, New Hampshire and Canada into local herds. They were checked for compliance with Massachusetts laws and interstate shipping rules and regulations. Health Certificates were necessary with Bang's and Tuberculosis tests completed, proper identification established, and freedom from other contagious diseases shown by clinical examination. It was necessary to send 2 animal brains to the Wasserman Laboratory 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 110 dog bites reported in 1960, plus 2 cat bites and 7 other animal bites. 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 246 PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS December 31, 1960 To the Honorable ,Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: In accordance with Article XXII, Section 1 of the By -Laws of the Town of Lexington, I submit herewith the annual report covering the work of the Public Works Department during the year 1960. The unprecedented growth of Lexington during the post -war period has con- tinued during the year 1960 and has been reflected in the public's increasing demand 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: Administration Engineering Clerical Park Department Mechanics and Janitors Water Department Public Works Department 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 3 3 3 2 2 5 5 6 7 8 4 4 5 5 6 10 11 14 13 15 4 6 6 6 6 2 4 5 5 5 26 24 26 27 26 54 57 65 65 68 Betterment Street Construction On May 27, 1960 a contract for construction of streets was awarded to George Brox, Inc. at a price, based on the Town Engineer's estimate of quantities, of $109,309. This contract was completed during 1960. It is broken down as follows: Street Length Asbury Street 896' Bowker Street 725' Carley Road 620' Marlboro Road 975' Moreland Avenue 1050' Pelham Road 390' Revolutionary Road 650' School Street 2500' Drainage 690' 12" Conc. Pipe 267' 15" ' 235' 6" 560' 12" 80' 12" 370' 12" 827' 12" 520' 12" 290' 12" PUBLIC SERVICES 247 With the exception of School Street, which was reconstruction and widening of an existing public way, all of the streets were constructed under betterments. CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION: In 1959 the department requested and was given $36,000. for Chapter 90 construction. In 1960 the appropriation was $40,000. Since neither of these amounts have been touched and since a request is now being made for an additional $40,000., it seems that a summing up is in order of what has happened in the past two years as well as what is proposed for 1961. The request of $36,000. for 1959 was made to continue the widening of Concord Avenue from Blossom Street toward Waltham Street as far as funds would permit. When the actual plans and specifications were completed by the State Department of Public Works, it was found that it would take an additional $15,000. to go all the way to Waltham Street. Therefore, the Board of Selectmen decided to defer this project until 1960 when, with an additional appropriation of $15,000., the entire job could be completed at one time. It turned out to be a wise decision because the MDC shortly afterwards decided that they would construct their 36" water line, in part, in this section of Concord Avenue. In the light of these facts and reasoning that the already approved State allot- ment represented a "bird in the hand ", the department turned away from Concord Avenue to another area where a traffic problem had recently become critical. This was the intersection of Lowell Street, Maple Street and Winchester Drive where the completion of Johnson Road in Winchester had produced such a flow of through traffic that something obviously had to be done to reconstruct this intersection. Therefore the amount of $40,000. was requested, approved as an allotment by the State, and appropriated at the 1960 Town Meeting to reconstruct this intersection and resurface Winchester Drive. However, the State Department of Public Works, due to reasons beyond this department's control, was not able to complete the plans for this work until recently, when it was decided that it was too late in the year to start the project. In the Tight of the facts above, the department has requested the amount of $40,000. for 1961. It is the recommendation of the department that the widening of Concord Avenue continue from Waltham Street in a general westerly direction as far as Benjamin Road. The vote at the 1959 Town Meeting was general enough so that this money can be used in conjunction with part of the 1961 appropriation. The remainder of the 1961 appropriation will be used to finish the 1960 Chapter 90 work on Winchester Drive. CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE: On July 15, 1960 a contract for resurfacing streets was awarded to Warren Brothers Roads Company at a price, based on the Town Engineer's estimate of quantities, of $10,869. Included in this contract was Paul Revere Road which was done with Chapter 90 maintenance funds. This street was resurfaced with bituminous concrete. Location Type of Maint. Length Paul Revere Road Bituminous Conc. 2828' CURBING: The amount of $5,000. was appropriated in 1960 for the installa- tion of granite curbing. The amount has not varied for many years. 248 PUBLIC !SERVICES The recent policy of the Board of Selectmen of concentrating curbing work in C -1 zones was continued. This is being done in order to make an effort to control and channelize traffic movements in these areas. A breakdown of this work follows: Location Bedford Street Reed Street Cary Ave. & Middle St. Lowell Street Type Curb Length Granite If 359' 94' 115' 1 87' Total 755' ASHES AND DUMPS: As a result of recommendations contained in a report to the Board of Selectmen by the Superintendent of Public Works, various changes in operation and the regulations of the Lincoln Street dump were put in operation in 1960. 1.) The Selectmen extended by two the number of days during the year on which the dump is closed so that now the list reads: New Year's Day Easter Sunday April 19th May 30th July 4th Labor Day Veterans' Day Thanksgiving Christmas 2.) A bulldozer is now in attendance six days a week in order to spread cover material and keep rubbish from blowing. 3.) A system of permits was instituted which, after some modifica- tion, now means that: a.) Commercial rubbish collectors may obtain a yearly permit for $25.00. b.) Owners of commercial vehicles (not rubbish collec- tors) may obtain a yearly permit for $1.00. c.) Commercial vehicles may also obtain a daily permit for $2.00. This system has worked well and will be continued in 1961. As usual, no picking was allowed and the lighting of fires was prohibited, although some ac- cidental fires did occur. The contract with the exterminator was continued with monthly service calls being made. Occasionally, as the occasion demanded, these calls were increased in frequency. 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. PUBLIC SERVICES 249 As the edge of the dumping comes closer and closer to the limits of the prop- erty available for this purpose, the problem of where to go next and what to do when we get there begins to loom larger and larger. With this thought in mind, the Town Meeting appropriated $3,000. at a Special Town Meeting on September 26, 1960 in order to make a study of the entire refuse disposal problem. On November 21, 1960 the Board of Selectmen signed a contract with the engineering firm of Fay, Spofford and Thorndike to make this study. It is expected that their report will be ready in the Spring of 1961. GARBAGE COLLECTION: On the whole, garbage collection by Silva Brothers has been satisfactory and certainly has been an improvement over past years. A continuing effort is being made by this department to assist the contractor in main- taining a high quality of service. The current contract for the collection of garbage is in the amount of $22,000. and it is in effect until April 30, 1961. It is the intention of the department to advertise, sometime in March, for bids for the collection of garbage for a three -year period beginning May 1, 1961. Inasmuch as a report by a consulting engineer on our refuse disposal problem is expected to be completed by that time which may contain specific recommendations regarding garbage collection, it is the intention of the department to recommend that a provision be included in the contract to terminate it at any time during its life should the Town wish to institute municipal collection or combined rubbish and garbage collection. SNOW REMOVAL: The cost of snow removal this year was higher than many other years. There were a total of four major snow storms recorded. Two of these were heavy and costly with a total snowfall for each storm of 26" and 19.8 ". These two storms alone cost the Town $47,080.44 to plow and remove. There were 24 days on which snow was recorded in the Town of Lexington dropping a total of 64.6" of snow. The total cost of sanding, salting, plowing and removing these storms was $87,959.54. The accompanying table indicates the amount and days that snow was recorded and the second table indicates the cost breakdown chargeable to snow removal.

In the Center the existing 10,000 lumen incandescent lamps were replaced with 20,000 lumen mercury vapor lamps. On Bedford Street 11,000 lumen mercury vapor lamps were installed almost as far as Tewksbury Street. On Muzzey Street 6,000 lumen incandescent lamps were installed. The Board also authorized improvements in lighting on Waltham Street which as yet have not been made. Ten 800 lumen lights and fifteen 10,000 lumen lights were removed during the year. Ninety -nine 1,000 lumen, four 2,500 lumens, two 4,000 lumens, two 6,000 lumens, ten 11,000 lumens and seventeen 20,000 MV lumens lights were installed during the year so that currently lamps in service are as follows: 800 Lumens 1177 6,000 Lumens 48 1,000 Lumens 2,500 Lumens 4,000 Lumens 601 92 18 10,000 Lumens 15,000 MV Lumens 16 7 11,000 MV Lumens 20,000 MV Lumens 10 17 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 some of the street lines and crosswalks were painted twice. The approximate linear footage painted is indicated below. 44,000 Center Lines 7,400 Crosswalks 3,400 Curbing 200 Parking Tees 210 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 at 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: In 1960 a new type of street sign was adopted by this de- partment. It is a sign which has a white reflective background with black, non - reflective letters. It is clearly visible at night as long as there is even a faint source of light available. These signs are made in our own newly installed sign shop. Thus, little time is lost between the request for and the erection of the sign. During the year 36 obsolete street signs were taken down. In addition to replacing these 36, 70 others of the new type were installed, making a total of 106 in all. ROAD MACHINERY — Capital Outlay: During the year the following pieces of equipment were purchased and received. 1.) 1960 Chevrolet Sedan. For use by the Supt. of Public Works. 252 PUBLIC SERVICES 2.) Worthington tractor and 7 -gang mower pur- chased for use by the Park Department in mowing large grass areas. 3.) Tarco sand spreader. 4.) International Front End Loader. This machine was purchased for use by the Park Department for loading loam, clearing skating rinks and loading snow. 5.) Saginaw Street Sweeper. This unit is a truck - mounted street sweeper. Its construction is radically different than the conventional 3 -wheel type. It has proven to be very successful in actual operation. 6.) Sicard Snow Blower. This unit was purchased as a replacement unit for a conventional type snow loader. It will not only load trucks but will be able to blow snow into fields and parks, etc. where now it must be picked up and hauled away. SIDEWALKS: The sidewalk expansion program was increased in tempo in 1960. The policy of constructing sidewalks in the vicinity of the schools was continued. Three contracts were awarded for this purpose during the year: 1.) On June 20, 1960 the Board awarded a contract to Southeastern Landscape Corp. for the construction of sidewalks on Mass. Avenue, Waltham Street and Allen Street at a price, based on the Town Engineer's estimate of quantities, of $8,687. 2.) On July 27, 1960 the Board awarded a contract to the Quinton Vespa Company, Inc. for the construction of sidewalks on Winchester Drive and Burlington Street at a price, based on the Town Engineer's estimate of quantities, of $27,874.20. 3.) On September 19, 1960 the Board awarded a contract to the J. J. Ryan Ccnstruction Company for the construction of the sidewalk on Hancock Street at a price, based on the Town Engineer's estimate of quantities, of $7,350. In addition, sidewalks were installed for individual requests on certain streets. A complete breakdown follows. Location Length Waltham Street 3299' Allen Street 326' Mass.

Highway maintenance is one of the major functions of the Public Works De- partment. In order to maintain in good condition our ever increasing system of streets, many different types of work must be performed on a continuing basis. 1.) Street Cleaning. Two mechanical street sweepers are on the go nearly every day of the year, except in inclement weather or when roads are icy or snow covered. Their biggest work load comes in the early Spring when the Winter's sand must be removed. In addition to the two mechanical sweepers, hand cleaning and sweeping is done in Lexington Center and on the main streets in order to keep them looking attractive. 2.) Pavement Maintenance. Our crews are continually patching holes as they appear. This emergency type of maintenance is needed especially in the Winter and early Spring when the freeze and thaw cycle causes holes to "pop" everywhere at once. During the warm weather we concentrate on maintenance procedures that are more permanent such as seal coating, machine resurfacing with bitumi- nous concrete, etc. The following is a breakdown of the streets which the department sealed in 1960 by Town forces. Location Allen Street - Stedman Road Spring Street Watertown Street Lincoln Street Prospect Hill Road Crescent Hill Avenue Type of Treatment Length Sealing 966' 1765' 1395' 1917' 1583' 600' In addition to this type of pavement restoration, a contract was awarded to Warren Brothers Roads Company for bituminous concrete resurfacing. This was in the amount of $10,869., based on the Town Engineer's estimate of quantities. It is broken down as follows: Location Adams Street Harrington Road Weston Street Wood Street Lincoln Street Type of Treatment Length Bit. Conc. 2966' 631' 291' 556' 302' 3.) Drain and Brook Cleaning. During the year all of our 2,389 catch basins on public ways were cleaned at least once. Dur- ing the winter months 4,600 feet of brooks were cleaned with our backhoe. 4.) Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance. Sidewalks, bituminous and concrete, were patched and repaired throughout the year. In the Center large sections of concrete walk were replaced on Wal- tham Street and Mass. Avenue. 254 PUBLIC SERVICES 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 1960 with Town labor and equipment.

Most of the small areas were done this way during January and February. The large swamps were sprayed by helicopter in April after mosquito larvae appeared. There was a moderate invasion of migrating Aedes mosquitoes from outside sources in late May and June. These were attacked by helicopter spraying June 1 Oth in the westerly and northerly parts of Lexington, supported by nighttime fogging from a truck in residential areas. Mansonia mosquitoes developed in the Tophet swamp area in late June and July. Fogging was done plus a spraying by helicopter on July 16th. The usual Culex (house mosquito) inspection and spraying was conducted from June to September. A little ditch cleaning was done in May south of Concord Avenue west of Field Road. 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 120 feet of copper gutter on two parts of the building and defective valves were replaced on all the radiators in the Town Office Building. In the Cary Memorial Building the granite steps at the front entrance, which have been troublesome in the past, were waterproofed successfully. Although money was set aside for the conversion of the coal storage room to a Civil Defense Room, this work has not yet been done. On the grounds around the School Administration Building, the area which was formerly the Boys' Club was regraded, loamed and seeded. PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING: The usual repairs and maintenance work was done at the Public Works Building. 'PUBLIC SERVICES 259 Many other odd jobs were completed for other departments and officials. These included work at the Fiske School constructing a softball diamond, the expanding of the parking area at Willard Woods, loaming and seeding one -half of the Adams School Playground to complete that project, the construction of a new gate house at the Reservoir and the expanding of the skating facilities, the complete regrading and reconstruction of a ballfield at the Maria Hastings School (including drainage) and other miscellaneous work. 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 December 31, 1960 Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith the report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1960. Under new policies instituted in 1959 and carried through 1960, the Engineer- ing Department is now able to carry to completion many projects which had been started years ago and never finished and to take on a few more projects each year. This is in part made possible by the addition to the office staff of two new ex- perienced and qualified men, allowing outside men to concentrate on field work. The co- operative work program with Northeastern University started in 1959, wherein we have four engineering students, two alternately working and two in school, has worked to our advantage. The students gain needed experience in practical engineering and we have gained members who are interested in their work. For the most part, the students have been working in the field as members of the surveying party, but they have done some office calculations in which they are quite helpful. 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 layout 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 process of change. 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 benefitted from this service. 260 PUBLIC SERVICES In the field the department located, marked, and gave grades for all water and sewer services installed during the year. Under subdivision control, the department devotes a great deal of its time each year to the inspection and supervision of the installation of utilities and streets in subdivisions. This year the department con- trolled the construction of over 3 miles of streets. At the Westview Cemetery grave lots were designed and located. In co- operation with the Park and School Departments, baseball and football fields were designed and located at the schools and playgrounds. In addition to the above duties, the field men also located 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 utilities. This year the department handled completely two contracts for the Town, namely the sidewalk construction contract awarded to Southeastern Landscape Cor- poration and the street resurfacing contract awarded to Warren Brothers Roads Company. For both these contracts the preliminary engineering and estimating was done, the contract was drawn up and awarded, the construction supervised and payment estimates made. In co- operation with the Recreation Committee, the preliminary engineering, the soliciting of bids, the supervision of construction, and payment estimates were made for the reconstruction and resurfacing of the tennis courts at the Center Playground this year done by Dennis Driscoll & Company Inc. The preliminary engineering and field location surveys were made for the two sewer contracts and for the several sewer, water and traffic studies made this year. In addition to the engineering duties this year, the department assisted the Board of Selectmen in perambulating the boundaries of the Town. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CARROLL, Town Engineer REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen December 31, 1960 Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: As in the past years, we are combining the reports of the Shade Tree, Insect Suppression and Park Divisions into two sections. Section 1 will cover the activities of the Park Division and Section 2 the Shade Tree and Insect Suppression. Section One The Park appropriation this year included the purchase of a Worthington 5 -gang mower, a small bucket loader and an aerator. Two more men were added to the Park Department. 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. Two little league fields were foamed and seeded. One new field is being constructed and will be completed in the Spring. One -half of the football field has been foamed and seeded. PUBLIC SERVICES 261 The Town property at the corner of Mass. Avenue and Fletcher Avenue has been foamed and seeded. At Belfry Hill we are still setting out flowering shrubs and more attention is being given to this area. Most all park areas were fertilized, some receiving three applications. The other half of the East Lexington Playground was loamed and seeded and this work was also done at the Maria Hastings play- ground area, Fiske School playground area and the North Hancock Street triangle. All other parks and triangles received their regular maintenance and all ballfield areas at Diamond Junior High, Fiske and Franklin Schools were added to park maintenance, also one new triangle. Pruning and cleaning of underbrush has been completed at the North Lexington Playground, Bowman Park, areas on Park Drive, Lexington Reservoir and the Willard property on North Street. At Willard Woods tables were built by the Park Department and set out. Five fireplaces were also constructed on this area. All skating areas were flooded as the need arose during the Winter months. Section Two The Shade Tree Department did not purchase any new equipment this year. The outlook in regard to our public shade trees looks 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 survival. On any new construction work we are trying to save as many trees as possible and where digging can be done by hand in order to save a tree, it is being carried out. During the spring and fall of the past year, 257 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 much better selection and reduces the overall cost of new trees. Our dormant and summer spraying out was done with our own crew and hired helicopter service. The helicopter was used on parks, playgrounds, cemeteries and swamp areas where it was impossible to reach with our own equipment. Additional spraying of oak trees was also required this year. This year some progress was made on pruning and removing dead wood from our public trees although more time should be spent on this work. We have pruned 173 trees of different varieties. We also removed about 35 stumps with our stump cutter to about six inches below grade. 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 was introduced into the United States from Europe between 1920 and 1930. Since that time it has spread and destroyed many of our valuable elm trees on both public and private property. About 300 elms have been treated with zinc chloride or zinc coated nails as a preventive measure against this disease. This is strictly experimental. We have also tried it on several trees that already have it. The following is a comparison of Dutch Elm Diseased trees found in Lexington since 1958. 262 PUBLIC SERVICES 1958 106 1959 105 1960 85 The trees tested this year included 65 privately owned elms and 20 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 Department REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: December 31, 1960 The Cemetery Commissioners submit their Annual Report for the year 1960. Regular maintenance work has been done on the grounds, driveways, trees and shrubs of the four cemeteries. There were thirteen interments in Munroe Cemetery and four lots were placed under Perpetual Care. A section of approximately one hundred feet of old water pipe was replaced. At Westview Cemetery there were eighty -eight interments, forty -five lots, nine single graves, and six baby graves sold. Additional single graves have been laid out in the Vale of Rest section, and also the baby grave section. A section has been laid out and set aside for the Jewish residents of Lexington. This section consists of approximately one hundred two grave lots. The water lines were brought from Westview Street into the garage. A new warm air heating system was installed in the garage. The interior of the garage and the new addition to the garage received a coat of paint. A new Gravely power mower with snow blower attach- ment was purchased. Two hundred Aluminum Markers were purchased and installed in the lots of the newly laid out sections. The following funds were collected and committed to the Town Treasurer: Westview Cemetery Sale of Lots $5,202.98 Sale of Single Graves 243.00 Sale of Baby Graves 108.00 Perpetual Care 5,915.00 Interments 2,669.00 Green and Lowering Device 497.50 Foundations 658.50 Flower Urns 26.25 Tent 135.00 Miscellaneous Receipts 120.00 $1 5,575.23 PUBLIC SERVICES Munroe Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund Annual Care Fund Interments Green and Lowering Device Foundations Disinterment of Baby Body Tent Miscellaneous Receipts Colonial Cemetery Foundation $317.00 60.75 334.00 66.00 57.00 10.00 15.00 33.00 $892.75 $1 1.50 263 $11.50 The Cemetery Commissioners take this opportunity to acknowledge with thanks the assistance and cooperation given the department by officials of the Town, mem- bers of the various departments and the personnel of the Cemetery Department. Respectfully submitted, CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS GEORGE M. HYNES, Chairman REPORT OF THE REGISTRAR OF VETERANS' GRAVES December 31, 1960 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Submitted herewith is the annual report of the Registrar of Veterans' Graves for the year 1960. There have been eleven (11) interments of Veterans in Lexington Cemeteries during the year 1960. These interments have been recorded and are on file in this office. Flags and wreaths were placed on all Veterans' graves on Memorial Day and suitable care given these graves during the year. In Colonial Cemetery all iron enclosed Icts were scraped and painted and some graves that were sunken were raised. Respectfully submitted, MAURICE D. HEALY, Registrar 264 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES December 31, 1960 To the Citizens of Lexington: The Trustees of Cary Memorial Library — the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee, and the Settled Ministers of the Town — have held two meetings this year while the Executive Committee has met monthly, or as needed. The Board has welcomed five new Trustees during the year: Rabbi Bernard H. Bloom, Reverend Nathan Goff, and Rabbi Herbert Rosenbloom, new "Settled Ministers "; and the two newly - elected Selectmen, Mr. Lincoln P. Cole, Jr., and Mr. Norman J. Richards. To the retiring Selectmen, Mr. Raymond W. James and Mr. William E. Maloney, the Board expresses appreciation for their six years of service to the library. The presence of one or more members of the Advisory Committee at each meeting has been most helpful. An increasing number of citizens of all ages are using the services and resources of Cary Library. The interesting exhibits in the Lexington Room arranged by the Curators of the Lexington Historical Society have been enjoyed by both residents and visitors. The flower arrangements provided by members of the Lexington Field and Garden Club have also been greatly admired and enjoyed. The Trustees acknowledge with gratitude a gift of money for memorial books. It may be of interest to others to know that the library, although largely Town supported, gratefully accepts memorial gifts and bequests. We were saddened in December by the death of Miss Helen Muzzey, who faithfully served the library for more than forty years. Miss Eleanor Trowbridge, a devoted staff member for twenty years resigned in August to accept a position as High School Librarian in a neighboring city. We are reminded again that we have been fortunate to have had so many staff members who have served so faithfully for so many years. Unfortunately this year the major problems have been staff changes and shortages. The basic reasons seem to be: a shortage of trained librarians, due primarily to low salaries, especially in the New England area; the lack of both houses and apartments available for rent in Lexington; and to inconvenient public transportation for those who must live in other communities while working in Lexington. We are grateful to those loyal and cooperative staff members who have willingly shifted schedules and assumed extra duties to keep the library in full operation. We are fortunate, too, in having a group of capable and dependable part -time staff members, high school and college students for the most part, without whose help we would have found it difficult to operate the library this past year. From this group could come some outstanding librarians of the future. We appreciate their present service, and hope that some of them will return to Cary Library as professionals. CARY ME'MORIAL ,LIBRARY 265 To our custodians goes credit for the well kept appearance of the building. We are especially grateful to Mr. Nason, Director, and Miss St. Arnaud, Assistant Director, for their cooperation and their resourcefulness in solving what- ever problems arose. Again the Board is grateful to Mr. Nason for serving as Secretary and Treasurer. Respectfully submitted, MILDRED B. MAREK, President Board of Trustees Alan G. Adams Lincoln P. Cole, Jr. Gardner C.

McDonnell Custodian 266 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR To the Trustees of Cary Memorial Library: The Director respectfully submits the ninety- second Annual Report of the Library. The circulation of books, records, magazines and pamphlets totaled 409,055 for 1960, a gain of 6,729. An increase of 15,386 in the adult department was offset by a sharp drop in the use of the children's room at the main library. The loss in the number of juvenile books borrowed can be directly attributed to lack of personnel. While the Supervisor of work with Children has struggled valiantly to keep the program in schools, the story hours and the work within the children's room running smoothly, the lack of a full -time Children's Librarian to assist her has slowed up book selection and ordering and has resulted in a slackening of professional service to children, parents and teachers. The problem of maintaining a full staff is one that plagued the administration throughout the year. A total of nine resignations, or almost half the staff, posed many problems of replacement, training and adjustments in responsibility. Of the nine, five resigned to accept more remunerative positions and four left for personal reasons. At the year's end two more professional assistants have signified their intentions of resigning. Miss Claire St. Arnaud, Assistant Director, wished to leave her position as soon as possible to be married, and Mrs. Feldman, Reference Librarian, will be resigning by the end of June. On the plus side, the work of the circulation and reference departments has been running smoothly under the capable direction of the Assistant Director. Under her supervision and with the cooperation of the staff, the manual of circulation and registration procedures was completely revised and expanded, and a new manual on classification and cataloging of records was issued. With the appointment of Miss Sgrosso as Assistant Cataloger, the work of the catalog department has been speeded up and some progress made in reducing the backlog of materials to be cataloged. The Cutter Classification used by this library was brought up -to -date by Miss Ann Ferry, Head Cataloger, and three copies were typed and bound for the use of the staff. The long awaited record players were put into service during the year with two turntables, each accommodating up to six listeners at a table designed by the Director. Besides the records used in the Art and Music Room, 16,401 were borrowed for home use, more than double the number lent the preceding year. Many patrons of the library have expressed their appreciation of the readers' advisory service which was inaugurated early in the year. Extension of this service to give complete coverage during the time the library is open is recommended for the future. December 31, 1960 To the Board of Trustees for their wholehearted support and to the staff mem- bers for their loyal cooperation, the Director offers his sincere appreciation.

RICHARDS Investment Committee HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES REPORT OF THE TOWN CELEBRATIONS COMMITTEE To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 271 December 31, 1960 We respectfully submit this report covering the activities of the Town Celebra- tions Committee for the year 1960. The Committee, which consists of nine citizens representing various segments of the town and each serving three -year terms, met 18 times during the year to plan proper observances of Patriots' Day, United Nations Day and Thanksgiving, three celebrations the responsibility for which the Town Celebrations Committee is charged by the Board of Selectmen. Patriot's Day On the nineteenth of April, Patriots' Day was observed with the annual early morning parade climaxed by appropriate ceremonies and the raising of the Flag on Lexington Green. The Committee hopes that this will continue to be a simple and dignified celebration for the people of Lexington with local youth groups and school bands as the principal participants. The large celebration of the day, presided over by Janice Cupp, "Lady Lexington - 1960", was the annual afternoon parade, consisting of five divisions, of which Cornelius P. Cronin was named Chief Marshal and Thomas P. Grindle, recipient of the 1960 Lions Club White Tricorn Hat, was named Honorary Marshal. The theme of the 1960 parade was "Freedom with Justice" and floats, competing for three Chamber of Commerce trophies, were planned around this theme. The Baptist Youth Fellowship was allowed to keep the Youth category trophy after having won it for three years. Representatives of about twenty -five Lexington organizations met with the Committee at different times during the year to make plans for the Patriots' Day celebration, and a movie of the parade was filmed by David Vogt for the Celebrations Committee and is available for loan to Lexington organizations. The Lexington Guides Association members made their services available by giving informative his- torical talks between the parades. As part of the 1960 Patriots' Day celebration, the Committee sponsored the publication of a 32 -page pamphlet tracing the development of the April 19th cele- bration in Lexington from 1776 -1960. This publication was distributed to all the homes in town through the school department and by placing copies in both town libraries. It was researched and written by two members of the 1959 -'60 Town Celebrations Committee, Doris L. Pullen and Donald B. Cobb. Several schools re- quested copies of the booklet for their permanent libraries for use in the teaching of the history of Lexington in the fourth grades. Lexington cooperated with Concord in sharing the expenses of bands which were participating in the parades in both towns, and the Concord Boy Scouts made a 272 HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES presentation to the Lexington Boy Scouts in memory of Captain Parker. Eleanor B. Litchfield and Lincoln P. Cole, Jr., members of the Committee were presented certifi- cates by the Concord Committee of Public Ceremonies in appreciation of their co- operation with Concord in the planning of the Patriots' Day observances. The Committee notes with deepest regret the passing of the beloved Edith Nourse Rogers, for many years Congresswoman from the Fifth Congressional Dis- trict. She gave unstintingly of her time and energy in behalf of Lexington's Patriots' Day Celebration and was always present on this occasion. United Nations Day United Nations Day, the twenty- fourth of October, was marked in the schools by special observances, the most prominent of which was at Parker School. The plant- ing of the 1960 United Nations tree, an expression of hope and faith in the United Nations, was part of a program presented by Parker School pupils and attended by members of the Celebrations Committee. The Lions Club President, Joseph Rooney, presented a United Nations flag to the school at that ceremony and presented flags to nine other Lexington schools at another time. The High School Student Council arranged a United Nations assembly program at which time the two winners of the 1960 United Nations Essay Contest were an- nounced. They were Betsy Packard and Ronald Johnson. About sixty high - school seniors wrote essays on the topic "United Nation's Achievements in Creating Peace." The contest was sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Town Celebra- tions Committee and was directed by Miss Helen McIntyre of the Social Studies De- partment. The Lexington Rotary Club assumed the entire expense for a prize trip to the United Nations for the two winners and their two chaperones, teachers from the High School. Community Thanksgiving Service Approximately 300 citizens attended the annual Community Thanksgiving Serv- ice, sponsored by the Catholic, Jewish and Protestant faiths, on November 20, 1960 in the Lexington High School Auditorium. The Order of Service, unchanged from pre- vious years, included participation of clergy from the three faiths, selected in ac- cordance with a rotational system. Mrs. Ruth Morey, Chairman, Board of Selectmen, delivered the Governor's Proclamation. The program was enriched by contributions of the Lexington High School a Capella Choir, under the direction of Mrs. Margaret H. Sandberger. The Thanksgiving Address, delivered by the Hon. Pierre A. Northrup, Presiding Justice of the District Court of Central Middlesex, was entitled, "The Lessons Our Pilgrim Fathers Have Taught Us." The Address was informative, thought - provoking, and inspirational. In the future it is hoped that attendance at this function can be increased by a more diversified program requiring broader com- munity participation. The Committee wishes to thank the many organzations in town which co- operate to make these celebrations more meaningful for all the citizens of the town, and its special thanks go to the Police Department.

GRANT Trustees of Elizabeth Bridge Gerry Fund REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF VETERANS' SERVICES December 31, 1960 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Lexington, Lexington, Mass. Gentlemen: I respectfully submit my report of the Department of Veterans' Services for the year ending December 31, 1960. Chapter No. 115 and its amendments of the General Laws of Massachusetts provide that each application for Veterans benefits, after thorough investigation by the Veterans Agent must be forwarded for approval to the office of the Commissioner of Veterans Services in Boston in order that the town making such disbursements shall be reimbursed one half of all approved expenditures granted under the Veterans benefits. This reimbursement is made every four (4) months. Your Veterans Service Agent has had monthly conferences with an investiga- tor from the Massachusetts Commissioner's office whose duty it is to make sure this office has been complying with all the rules, regulations and restrictions of the department in the interest of Veterans Rights and in order that the Town of Lexing- ton may obtain the benefit of reimbursements. Twice a year your Agent must attend all -day panel sessions with the Commis- sioner, his staff and specialists in different phases of Veterans affairs. Also, it is necessary, occasionally, to visit the Commissioner's office in Boston to resolve issues and procedure relating to documents and reports concerning individual cases. During the year there were fourteen (14) active cases which involve fifty five (55) veterans and dependents, all of whom received financial assistance from this office. Respectfully submitted, MAURICE D. HEALY, Veterans' Agent.
