KNOWLES, Town Clerk 49 REPORT of YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board •for the Town of Yarmouth last year suggested the installation of three garden plots in the Town, which have been installed and. which we think add `,tremendously to the highway beauty and development. We have had numerous favorable comments upon these plots. We think, of course, that these should be maintained, de- veloped and improved from time, to time. It does not take very much money, and the results are very satisfactory. About seven or eight months ago yaar Planning Board became conscious of the fact that there is going to be a terrific amount of building, expansion and development in the years following the World War Two, and that the Town of Yarmouth should be prepared to welcome such expan- sion and building, and should also be in a position to control the sane. Your Town Officials were of the same opinion, and hence we have drafted, redrafted, amended and finally made up a proposed zoning ordinance, which is modest in form and liberal in its effect and we do not think is very stringent. It has been made up by people in the Town, members of the Planning Board, who have tried to adapt it to the needs. of the Town. We have held three public hearings, we have distributed various literature and we have attempted to get the ideas of the citizens and incorporate them in the ordinance, but we find there is a great deal of misinformation and that the opponents of the plan have a very lopsided view of the whole affair. Zoning is a long established practice in America, and in the careful promotion of orderly social living through planned growth of communities, both laymen and experts testify that zoning has played a most important role in the growth of towns and cities. We belleve that business should be encouraged in all its forms in the Town of Yarmouth. It is not in spite of, but because of the fact that business is the life blood of the town that zoning has increased in America, for unplanned industrial growth in any community leads toward unneces- sary handicaps for the industries themselves. The Town is situated next door to the Town of Barn- stable. which has had for many years a zoning ordinance. It seems to be quite obvious that we should at least bring our Town up to par with Barnstable with respect to zoning. Your Board sincerely hopes that the citizens of the Town will study the proposed ordinance intelligently, and above all ask the Planning Board members any questions they might 'have- in respect -to it. We sincerely believe it is a proper step forward, and if not taken now, we believe the Town- will be handicapped in the future. Respectfully submitted, ' A.

During the year the Board of Water Commissioners who were instructed at the Annual Town Meeting in February to bring in a report concerning the proposed extension of the Water System to the South and West sides of • the Town, made arrangements with Mr. Paul Howard of the firm of Whitman & Howard, consulting engineers on waterworks systems, to make up a preliminary report. 77 This report was made available to the Board late in the fall. The Water Commissioners sponsored a public forum to discuss the report. This was held at the Town Building in early December. Because of the favorable expression of opinion at this meeting, it was decided to immediately place before the voters of the town an opportunity to vote on the proposed systema The only factors governing the action of the Board in calling for a special Town Meeting instead -a— waiting until the Annual Town Meeting were considerations of additional costs if we waited until February. As you know, the proposal to extend the system was voted 76 to 28 after a very long and thorough• discussion of the merits of the system. - Respectfully. yours, BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS '64 Financial "Statement Appropriations: - • Balance on hand January 1, 1945 $1 144 Water Rates and Services - 8 135 Hydrant Rental 1 900 Appropriation by the Town 980 Total Amount Expended: Superintendent's Salary Water Commissioners' Salaries Clerical Service Labor Gasoline and Oil Office Supplies ' Power and Lights` Telephone Pumping Station Supplies Construetion Supplies Fuel Oil Truck Maintenance Tools and Equipment General Repairs Payment on Bond Indebtedness Interest .on Bond Indebtedness Freight and Express Superintendent's Substitute Salary Insurance Gas Permit Technical Service • Meters and Fittings Total Balance 07' 30 00 35 $2 009 28 750 00 125 00 335 93 102 35 35 81,. 1 763 28 22 56 132 58 341 60 103 59' 53 19 11 90 60 38 4 000 00 945 00 17 51 69 00 2 00 1 00 35 75 226 80 $12 159 72 $11 144 51 1 015 21 GERALD O.

CRESSY Chief of Police 65 i 66 REPORT OF FISH AND GAME COMMITTEE December 31, 1945 To the Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: . The Fish and Game Committee of the Town 'of Yar- mouth submits the following report: Due to wartime conditions we were unable to obtain many of the items which we would normally purchase. We spent $33.68 of the balance carried over from last year, installing several feed patches, plowing and harrowing. Several coveys of quail were observed, and some pheas- ant. The sport of bunting and fishing is the largest in the country, and more money is spent on this sport than on any other, including baseball' and football. This town has an ideal position, with Nantucket Sound and Cape Cod Bay teeming with all kinds of salt water fish. Our miles of beautiful beaches are open to the public, and attract large numbers of fishermen. In our fresh water ponds, which are many, there is no problem of pollution such as many locations nearer to the large cities experience, and are ideal for stocking vari- ous types of fresh water fish. Our marshes and woodlands are ideal for stocking, and a program could be carried out with the state conservation department and private organizations, one of which we are fortunate in having in town, namely the Bass River Rod and Gun Club, which is very active in fish and game stocking. They have raised thousands of dollars to put these ideas to work. We believe that this would be beneficial to both the town and the townspeople in increased revenue. Sincerely yours EDMUND FRUEAN, JR., Sec'y. for Fish & Game Committee 6? REPORT OF SHELLFISH CONSTABLE Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: • - I hereby submit the following report as shellfish constable for the year ending Dec. 31, 1945: . Shellfish taken from the waters of the town this year are valued at approximately $25,676.00 ' 2161 bu. quahaugs 2624 bu. scallops 140 bu. clams 182 bu. oysters @ $4 00 @ 600 @ 400 @ 4 00 $ 8 644 00 15 744 00 560 00 728 00 $25 676 00 The town purchased from the State 23 bushels of quahaug seed, which were planted in Lewis Bay; 186 bu. of clam seed, which were planted on the shores of Hyannis Park and Englewood; 215 bu. of oysters, which were planted off Baxter Ave., Colonial Acres, and Parker's River. Scallop and quahaug seed is plentiful at the present time in the Bass River and Lewis Bay areas. During the scallop season, fishermen collected over 200 bu. of cockles which were destroying shellfish in Lewis Bay. These were sold for $3.00 per bu. Various areas containing clam seed which have been closed this year, will be opened in the spring. Fifty-one commercial permits were issued. Several per- sons were warned for violations of the shellfish regulations. Respectfully submitted FRED C. SCHAUWECKER Shellfish Constable 11 68 COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT The regular work• of the Barnstable County Health De- partment was carried on as usual for the year 1945. The regular meetings of the Cape Cod Health Bureau Association and the Cape Cod Health Council were held twice during the year, in the spring and in the fall. The fall meeting was held at the Cape Cod Inn, as the Hyannis Inn was unable to do the work. The meetings were both very well attended by the boards of health of the county and others. At the meeting at the Cape Cod Inn, an unusual number were present, as a good many attended from the Southeastern Dis- trict in general. The"speakers at both meetings were very interesting, and it is believed that the meetings were enjoyed by all present. The next meeting will be in May, 1946. All of the nurses on the Cape have been very active dur- ing the year, and all of the regular clinics have been held, including cancer, eye; ear and throat, crippled children, diphtheria, tuberculosis and well child conferences. The regular meetings of the nurses have been held during the year as always. There has been a considerable amount of anterior polio- myelitis (infantile paralysis) in the country during the year, and there were some cases in Barnstable County, but on the whole, we were fortunate in this matter. One case, an adult, died on the way to the hospital. Otherwise, the usual com- municable diseases, only, have been found in the county. The private water supplies appear to be in good con-' dition at present, and no diseases resultedfrom the effects of the hurricane of last year as before stated. The regular work of the department has been carried on. This includes, of course, the laboratory work, sanitary inspections, all investigations regarding conditions reported as insanitary, etc. The work has been assisted in every way at all times by all State, County and Town officials, and we extend our thanks *to these officials for their constant support and cooperation.

REPORT of the BOARD of PUBLIC WELFARE The table of comparisons given below shows that in 1945 expenditures for all categories of assistance were the lowest . in the eight years tabulated. Over $20,000.00 less than the peak year of 1940 and over $3,000.00 less than last year., Although the average cost per case was slightly higher due to the increased cost of living it was more than offset . by a. smaller case load. An increase in case load and cost is expected in 1946. COMPARATIVE EXPENDITURES ` GENERAL OUTSIDE OLD AGE AID TO DEP. SOLDIERS' .

The owner of record means the way each separate deed is recorded at the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds. This further means _ that all owners of record will receive -a separate Tax Bill for each parcel recorded in their name. This is in accordance with State requirements and is being done by all assessors throughout. the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. To meet these State requirements many hours of extra. work searching records has been necessary and while so do- ing, it was discovered that an opportunity presented itself to answer questions relative to valuation and taxes in various parts of the town that have been asked for many years; so accordingly, we give you the following facts based on January 1st, 1945, figures. To begin with, the total assessed valuation in the Town for 1945 on Real and Personal Property was $6,237,475.00. Of this Precinct No. 1 had $788,12100 or 12.5% plus; Pre- cinct No. 2 had $509,671.00 or 8.1% plus; Precinct No. 3 had $2,453,561.00 or 39.3% plus and Precinct No. 4 had $2,486,122.00 or 39.8% plus, which resulted in actual Tax Revenue .as follows: Precinct No. 1 $22,067.39 Precinct No. 2 $14,270.79 Precinct No. 3 $68,699.71 Precinct No. 4 $69,611.41 making the total as shown in the usual Statistical report fol- lowing these remarks. . • Another fact developed which gives us these. figures. Residents were assessed $2,972,613.00 or 47% plus with total taxes of $83,233.16 and non-residents were assessed $3,264,- 862.00 or 52% plus with total taxes of $91,416.14. We also found that of the 1823 persons assessed the two highest valuations were $163,675.00 and $141,500 respectively. The next five owners of record were from $91,650 to $51,050, in the next bracket from $50,000. to $25,000. were ten per- t 91 sons; from $25,000. to $20,000. were•ten persons; from $20,000 to $15,000. were 16 persons; from '$15,000 to $10,000 were 38 persons; this making a total of 81 owners of record with a total of $1,981,500. assessed valuation. From $10,000 to $5,000, 214 persons were assessed a total of $1,457,825.00 or 23% plus of grand total of $6,237,- 475. - Under $5000'" we found 1528 . persons with' a total of $2,798,150.00 or 44% plus, which gives us in the final analysis 1742 owners or 95% of the Taxpayers assessed under $10,000, which- is 67% of the total valuation. . For your further information the Official State' Census was taken as of January lst, 1945, and Yarmouth now has a population of 2461 as against 2286 in 1940. We trust that the various facts outlined above will be of a -little more interest to you than the usual required statistical report which follows. For the Board of Assessors A.

Our overcrowded condition in the school is in need of serious and immediate attention. We need more room to alleviate overcrowding in the present classrooms, taking the pupils from the auditorium, library and mechanical train- ing areas into regular elass rooms. The use of the library for its original purpose is greatly reduced and the auditorium is a poor makeshift for an efficient class room. •Our mech- anical shop is hampered by the small quarters within which it is attempting to operate. The cafeteria does not allow time enough for students to eat under crowding existing there. The Household Arts course is compelled to carry on in a room originally designed for an office. All of these unsatisfactory eondit.ions have been endured necessarily under wartime conditions; but there eau be no excuse for unnecessary delays in this urgent need. In the annual warrant you will find an article relative to the need for laying out and improving our playground and athletic field. With the exception .of the gridiron there never has been provided suitable playing fields for girls' hockey, nor baseball, and consequently the -gridiron has been used for all sports as well as a general playground. This condition of course, has considerably damaged- the gridiron. A study has been made for a layout of the property and consideration has been given to the enlargement of the play- ground for the younger children, a field that will be available for girls' hockey, a baseball diamond and gridiron. In order to place ourselves in a comparable condition in relation to athletic fields found on the Cape, we should analyze this improvement both in value to our children and in reflection to teams coming to our school for sports activity. Some thinking has been done relative to the purchaseiof a school bus to cover one route now being contracted. By the purchase of this bus and the hiring of a full time man We would be able Jo. _ serve one route, make the extra late 137 trip contemplated -and have the use of the man's time be- tween trips to care for the grounds about the premises and to do any work that time would permit. This change would seem to be .a -saving to the town. We have been conscious of the need for a later bus to carry children home staying after school for makeup work or added help in their studies. Prevailing conditions do not permit this advantage with the exception of those children living nearby or those willing to hitchhike. This bus could be used for the transportation of boys and girls participating in sports practice as well. One bus could be used to make the trip thru West Yar- mouth, to Yarmouthport, to Yarmouth. We believe that this service will be well received and We are planning to begin this trip soon. A new fence on the South side of the property has added to the appearance of the grounds and the painting of several class rooms and one corridor has been completed under a program we have been carrying on for several years. There. is still much to be done in brightening the interior of our school, a part of which painting we plan to do this year. We have completed the weatherstripping of the doors _ and windows which has added much to the comfort of the teachers and children. The conversion of coal back to oil heat 'vas completed promptly after the suspension of rationing. This war emer- gency order requiring our changeover from oil heat to coal • was expensive. A sharp reduction in teacher turnover this year has . been gratifying. We look forward to even more permanence jn our staff in the year ahead. With the_ increase in home building .that is bound to come in our town. we must look forward to added accommodations for more children. 'It is our wish therefore, that our towns- people will view our needs in the light of a growing community. Respectfully submitted: ALBERTO W. SMALL WINTHROP V. WILBUR HERVEY L. SMALL �z a • 138 • REPORT of SUPERINTENDENT of SCHOOLS To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Massachusetts: Gentlemen: Herewith is presented the fifty-fourth report in the series of annual reports by the union superintendent of schools. A LARGER SCHOOL PLANT I should be failing in my duty if I did not keep alive this important and urgent requirement. This .matter has been placed before the public in previous annual reports. Two special planning committees have been appointed and have studied the problem, one in 1938 and the other in 1941. The • later committee had before it various sketches and blue prints of suggested ways, of . enlarging the building prepared by several different c)impetent architects. This committee from its consideration of all the facts recognized the pressing need for more room and was preparing definitely to make recom- mendations for enlargement of the plant. Then the Pearl Harbor disaster crashed down upon us and we were at war. The clear implications of this state of affairs was that new construction would be out of question for some time and the matter Itas dropped then and there. With the war now over it must of necessity be revived. While the recent action taken in authorizing a water system for the whole town places an extra burden upon our tax payers, this expense brings fire protection, safe -guarded drinking water and a convenient ample water supply for all purposes. The great majority of our citizens appreciate these services and will pay for them without undue reluctance and fault-finding. Accordingly, this progressive step in the town's history should not be allowed to sidetrack the equally progressive and vital task of keeping our public schools up to high standards. Moreover, there is good authority for the statement that. by deciding_promptly for the water system approximately fifty thousand dollars will have been saved through the im- 139 mediate purchase of materials. This saving will lighten fn- ture tax load and ease the burden of a school addition. In the school report. for 1940 these facts were set forth: "In the school year of 1929-30, when our present build- ing was planned, the enrolment of Yarmouth pupils of all grades was 257 and that of the Dennis high school was 67, a total of 324. The school building was planned to accom- modate 444 pupils, thus allowing for an increase of 120 pupils or a growth of 37 per cent. This seemed reasonable. at the time. Had anyone then insisted on a still larger school house to allow for a yet greater expansion of the school population, the great majority of our citizens would have doubted its necessity. "In the fall of 1931, the new building was opened with 308 pupils from Yarmouth and 75 Dennis high school pupils, or a total of 383. On October 1, 1940, we had a total of 560 pupils for a school plant that was designed to house 444. "From 1931 to 1940 the Yarmouth school population had risen from 308 to 459, or 48 per cent.. "In this same period the Dennis high school pupils had increased from 75 to 101, or 35 per cent." While the war has had the effect of reducing enrolment, our membership for October 1, 1945, is 565, the tide having turned toward further growth: • In our 1941 report,itwas stated that "Our school stan- dards are -being lowered due to an insufficient number of school rooms. An efficient school implies adequate housing. "It is anything but efficient to have fifty eight -grade pupils seated in the auditorium which.was never intended, and not properly equipped, for class room purposes. - "It is not efficient to have the library diverted from its original and correct use by turning . it into a make -shift class -room. "Itis not efficientto be using a small office room for an overflow of second and third graders where' lack of floor space is hard on both teacher and children. . "It is not _efficient to have a former office used for girls 1 1 • 1 1 140 ' in household arts clothing classes, when the place is so . cramped that it cannot contain needed equipment. Nor is it efficient for our practical arts boys to be confined to two small wood -working rooms originally intended for half the present number. And it is not efficient to have to use these two rooms as home rooms when they have no desks nor ward- robes and no space for such requisite furniture. "It is unfortunate, also, to be so hampered in shop area as to have to pass up taking advantage of federal funds and equipment for expanding -our teaching of the funda- mentals of the mechanical trades. For depend upon it, during the war and after the war the demand is going to be for men skilled with tools rather than for "white collar" workers. "We cannot have an efficient school with its implied adequate school -housing while our present typewriting room is much too small,for the present numbers taking this study; nor when our cafeteria which was just sufficient for the 400, or about. in the early nineteen -thirties is now forced to serve 363 boys and girls." Another planning coiumittee should be organized. A plan for an extension, or otherwise increased accommoda- tions. should be adopted. Complete and detailed specifica- tions should be drawn up on which contraetors could base bids for the job. And then the town should be asked to ap- propriate money for construction. It is_ to be noted that the present building is free and Blear. its fifteen -years bonds having been retired last fall. Also it is to be remembered that prior to 1930 our town had not built anyschools for three quarters of a century. There- fore in the light of the later growth and prosperity of the town another substantial outlay for education is not out of .plate nor out of proportion_ - . Just as a good water system is an asset to a town, so has uur modern school building certainly proved an asset to our community. Many new families With children have deliber- ately selected Yarmouth as a home because -of its school 141 advantages. Let us see to it that good standards re main= _ tained. TEACHERS The most important faculty change of 1945 was tr:t in the principalship. Dr. Balsam, who succeeded Mr. Jenner in May, 1944, found that his interests and preferences -did not incline him to permanent work in high school adminis- tration butrather to class room teaching in his special- field of social science. Therefore, he resigned last summer, hav- ing given us ample notice of -this event -so that we could seek his' successor without haste. A number of very well- qualified men of high calibre and successful experience in the secondary school field were considered and the choice fell on Mr. Norman B. Dinsmore, a graduate of Bates College in 1924. Mr. Dinsmore came from the principalship of the Colebrook, New Hampshire, High School and before .that had had experience as principal in two Maine high schools covering thirteen years. Accordingly, he came to us with an excellent record in high school administration and has . taken up his work with us conscientiously, industriously, ef- ficiently and with professional enthusiasm. - In the elementary grades, one to eight, there has been but one change. Miss Mary Dillon, after one year of service, accepted a position in Newton, Massachusetts, very near her home. She has been succeeded .by Miss Louise Reilly, a graduate of Bridgewater Teachers College in 1945. It is significant that of the other nine elementary teachers, six are home residents; two are from our neighboring -town of - Barnstable and only one from off the Cape:- These facts largely account for the stability experienced in these grades. In the high school the record is not encouraging. Miss Alice Cahill, the commercial teacher who was here but for a year, went to a position nearer home and has been succeeded by Miss Catherine Williams, a graduate of Salem State Teachers College, commercial department, in 1945..The houvehold arts position entailing the management of the eafcteria, filled by Mrs. Gertrude Homer until spring, has i 142 • been filled since September by Miss Angelina. Alberto, a . graduate of Framingham State Teachers College, 1943. Miss Alberto served the Dennis School this past school, year in •a similar capacity and so had the advantage of some expe- rience when joining our high school faculty. Our second household arts position dealing solely with classes in sewing and cooking is still vacant. Teachers trained for this field have declined in numbers and of those graduating last June many were absorbed into war hospitals as dietieians. How- ever, there is expectation that our place will be filled soon after New Year's. In physical education Miss Ruth Fay who went into Red Cross work is succeeded by Mrs. Geraldine Hill, a grad- uate of Hyannis Teachers College who has had teaching experience in New Bedford before her marriage. And in this same department Mr. Hartley Davis, who resigned this fall, is succeeded by. Mr. Samuel Strickland, who is a grad- uate of the Hyannis Teachers College. physical education course and whountil recently served as a lieutenant, senior grade, in the United States Navy. Our art supervisors have changed in each of the last three years. This fall Miss Roberta Whipple, Massachusetts Art School, 1945, took the place of Miss Nancy Graves, who went to a position in Providence. :. - But I am glad to report that we were able to retain our vocal music supervisor, Miss Grace Drum, who is doing excellent work both here and -in Dennis. Unquestionably the raise in salaries effective last Jan- uary has bad some good effect in the face of a desperate shortage of teachers, because our turn -over this past summer was less than the distressfully high one in 1944. _ THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA Our cafeteria, in common with great numbers of other public school cafeterias, is operating under the federal aided Community School Lunch Program. Under this program • 143 .. well-balanced lunches set to a required nutritional standard are provided at low cost to pupils. and half-pint bottles of milk are sold at two cents each. s This cafeteria has had our different managers during— the year, owing to the turn -over in teachers and has carried on under two different principals. This, of course, has not been conducive to the best results. Since the first of Sep- tember, however, things have been stabilized and are pro- ceeding satisfactorily. For help in preparing the following financial summary for the year we are indebted to state auditor, Mr. Lawrence Crosby, whose services were obtained through the cooperation of Selectman, Mr. A. Earle Mitchell.

Suitable, well -conditioned fields and play grounds are necessary parts of a school plant set-up. Only a portion of our field was foamed originally, that part intended for the football gridiron. This section, through wear and tear and neglect of years is in poor shape. in placeseven dangerous under certain conditions. Recon- 144 ditioning to include football, baseball and girls' athletics is imperative. A group of citizens interested in this matter has co.;, operated with, the school committee, on its invitation, in studying the problem and the services of a landscape archi- tect. have been engaged to prepare a comprehensive plan for re-laying out. grading, loaning and seeding the field. These improvements, properly carried out, will run into a con- siderable amount of money, but can be carried out over a spread of a few years by doing a certain part or area each year. But along with this, provision ought to be node •from time to time to maintain the repaired and improved sections in first-class condition. REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL Mr. C. R. Stacy Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, :Massachusetts. • Dear Sir: I am pleased to submit my first report as principal of the John Simpkins School. This report is necessarily limited to- the eodsideration of those school matters- pertaining to the four months of the present administration. Of the thirty-one graduates of the class of 1945, twelve are in the various armed services. two are in institutions of higher learning, nine are employed. one is married, two are in nursing schools, and five are at home in so far as is known. 'With the war ended and a gradual return to normalcy, larger graduating classes and an increased interest in college fn. trance may be expected: This office has received no unfavorable report concerning the work of any graduate now in college, indicating the ex- cellent preparation offered by the school. That •the school still enjoys full certification privileges is further indication of the same points. 145 Enrollment for the current school year by subjects is as follows: Algebra 1 Algebra 2 Art Biology Bookkeeping Civics English _1 English 2 English 3 English 4 French 1 French 2 General Math.

The Library The library should unquestionably be the focal point of the curricula activity of the school. This school was originally most fortunate in having provisions for excellent library fa- cilities and it is regretable that the extremely crowded con- ditions prevent their efficient use. The room is used during. the entire day as an over -crowded study hall with the trained librarian serving only as a proctor. It is hoped that the proposed expansion program may be undertaken. and this condition relieved at an early date. In spite of these handicaps the circulation of library books and periodicals is rather surprising and a brief report of such circulation for the past four months may be of in- terest: The figures are supplied by Mrs. Marjorie Kelley, librarian. Magazines . 1025 Pamphlets 462 Fiction Non -Fiction 179 516 The Cafeteria While a detailed report of the cafeteria is to be found as part of the Superintendent's report, it is gratifying to point out the fine progress made since September under the efficientmanagement of Miss Alberto and her assistants, Mrs. Keveney and Mrs. Nickerson. Much credit is' due the staff tt of student assistants without whom the cafeteria could not function. Here again conditions are badly overcrowded, necessi- tating serving the high school group in two shifts. This has however, greatly reduced the congestion and confusion. A Message to Parents It should be agreed that the school can best serve the community by close cooperation between the home and the school The school stands ready to offer that cooperation, and appeals to the parents for their support. It is sincerely hoped that parents ' will bring their _school problems to the principal and to the teachers for discussion at any time. This can only result in better understanding and mutual benefit. The school, for some time, has had to contend with an indifferent attitude toward punctuality and regularity of attendance. The home can do much toward correcting this attitude. _ Time lost due to unnecessary absence reflects itself on the pupil's report card, wastes valuable teacher -time and impairs school efficiency. Parents may be interested to know that the school is now offering regularly scheduled periods for making up work Lost by legitimate absences and for special help whenever needed. All teachers are available for such work at least two afternoons each week, and more if necessary. Pupils should be encouraged to avail themselves of this opportunity for extra help. Activities Period In an effort to enrich and supplement the pupils' school experiences an activities or club period has been added to the program this year, meeting once a week. Activities at present consist of model carving. dramatic club, glee 'club, rifle club, camera club, French club and gymnasium groups. Debating is to be added and further expansion of the program is plan- ned in an effort to benefit the extra -curricula life of the pupil. Recommendations The need for additional playground equipment for the younger pupils is considered most urgent. A jungle -gym, as soon as feasible, would fill a real need for this group. The cafeteria is badly in need of a freezing unit to pre- vent meat spoilage. - There is definite need for a late bus for high school pupils. Both teachers and pupils are handicapped by the lack of such transportation in that many pupils are notavailable for needed instruction and make-up work at the end of the 148 day. This problem applies particularly to Dennis and north - side pupils who live at great distances from the school. Such late transportation could also serve athletic groups as well as others detained for rehearsals and special work and would surely result in increased interest and -participation in extra - curricula activities. One can only emphasize again, as have others, the im- perative need for expansion in our school plaiit. Classrooms are in nearly all cases badly over -crowded and the auditorium is still in constant use as a classroom. Library and cafeteria conditions have been mentioned and it is sincerely hoped that any plans for expansion will give serious consideration to gymnasium needs. In closing, may I express my sincere appreciation to you as Superintendent and to the members of_the_ School Committee as• well as to the entire. faculty for their support . and eooperatiom8uring the current year. Respectfully submitted - NORMAN B. DINSMORE, Principal REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN \\t,rk in the schools of Barnstable County for 1945 has been conducted as usual by the nurses, physicians. and all others. with the work having been carried on satisfactorily in all cases. • We were fortunate in having very little anterior polio- myelitis (infantile paralysis) during the year. In one case only. a child was reported as having symptoms of this disease in school, and this school was closed for a short. time. No other communicable disease has presented any unusual dif- ficulty during -the year. All the regular clinics have been held throughout the county. The usual tuberculosis clinics have been held and the local doctors and nurses have aided in reading the tests as mentioned in the last report. Also, the usual dental 149 149 clinics have been held by local dentists when possible, if not, by a visiting dentist. The new apparatus for vision testing appears to have been entirely satisfactory. • The physical defects are corrected when possible and it is believed that the general condition of school children is improving. The school work appears to have been conducted satis- factorily by all concerned, and every effort will be made to $ keep the work on a proper status for the coming year: All district superintendents, school committees, and others have co-operated in every way. Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M.D. December 31, 1945 • County Health Officer F SCII00L NURSE'S REPORT The School nursing work in the town of Yarmouth for the calendar year 1945 includes the usual routine associated with this service. Inspection of the individual child and the classroom in .general, weighing pupils twice during the year, exclusion of children who show any evidence of a communicable disease, consultations in the school and at home; with teachers, parents and pupils regarding health problems, assisting the School Physician with annual physical examinations, giving vision • and hearing tests are all part of the program planned to in- crease the efficiency of the child and the school. Various clinics are available for the prevention and cor- rection of defects. The annual Eye clinic takes care of any child whose vision is found to be defective. The Dental clinic is available for those needing dental care and a Toxoid clinic is held once a year. The Crippled Children's clinic held each month at the Cape Cod Hospital is available for any child needing any kind of Orthopedic treatment. ' This all adds up to a health program designed to over- come individual handicaps and improve the environment of the school. We are grateful to all our associates for their unfailing co-operation and understanding of our problems.

I appreciate the interest and zeal with which '151 our new comers have taken up their work and I prize highly the faithful service which many teachers of longer experience have been rendering. Particularly do I value the correct, loyal and hearty cooperation of our new principal. Also, I thaYrk the school committee for the conscientious spirit in which it has approached the many problems con- fronting the school department in these abnormal days and for its endeavor to advance in all sound ways the value of the school to our community.

Henceforth, our reports will deal with the.new enlarged system that embraces most of the town. Present number of Water services Services vacant Gallons of Water pumped Stock and estimated value Cash received from Barnstable Fire District Gallons of Water pumped to Barnstable Fire District, October 1, 1945 to October 1, 1946 22,308,300 Three new services were installed When you read this report, it will very probably be, that the Yarmouth Water System, as we •have known it for the last 15 years, will be incorporated into the much larger and more extensive Water System which will some day serve all our townspeople with good water at very reasonable rates. 233 14 44,003,850 $855.14 $3,090.54 There are very few homes on the North side that have not taken advantage of town water, where it.was available for their use. The owners of many properties on this side gave unselfishly of their support to the extension, knowing that it was not right that they should receive the benefits of town water while other portions of the town were de- prived of the same benefits. It is not fitting to close out a chapter in the develop- • went of our town without mentioning names of people who labored long and well in promoting this service for the . north side. The names of the late Joshua E. Howes, Frank Baker, Ind Frank Newcomb come to mind as men vitally inter- ested in our original system. To these men, deceased, to- gether with U. Frederick Stobbart and others now living, we, the Board of Water Commissioners, dedicate our final 56 report on the \'armtonth Water Department viousiy knew it.

There will be home things unfinished. The elevated tank has not. been started at this. writing, but steel for the tank is expected at the tank site by the time you read this report. Shortages in the steel mills are responsible for this parti'ular delay. The elevated tank is the last major part of our new plant which is not in the final stages of construction. To date, you have purchased four new gravel packed wells capable of producing 1.000.000 gals. of water a day. 27 miles of cement -lined cast iron water main in place to- gether with all .necessary fittings, 150 hydrants for your future fire- protection. a • newly remodeled and enlarged pumping station with $15.000 of new pumping station equip • - ment. and the necessary suction mains.

HOMER ELWLN W. COOMBS -61 having three Road Commissioners.. IT It is our conviction that the employment of a qualified man to supervise the main- tenance of our roads,_ in all parts of the Town, must prove to be more practical and. economies]. At a Special Town Meeting iu December, 1945, you voted to extend the Yarmouth Water System to cover the south and west sections of the Town, and appropriated $550.000. for that purpose and to acquire the facilities of the Barnstable Water Company employed in servicing a section of West Yarmouth. The Selectmen through their attorney are now negotiating with the Barnstable Water Company and anticipate an early agreement with them. Reference is here made to the report of the Water Com- missioners. - The extension of the Water System will bring to the residents of South and West Yarmouth an adequate supply of the best water to be found anywhere at pressures needed to make it work for them. It will bring better fire pro- tection and lower insurance costs. It should be pointed out, however, that hydrants alone will reduce- the insur- ance rate only about 10%, but when hydrants and fire ap- paratus are both available the rate is reduced another 40'2; or a total of about 50%. This lowest rate will apply only to those buildings within three miles, by traveled road, of a fire station. The low rate will not apply to most of the buildings in West Yarmouth nor will it apply to the Ilyannis Park and Mill Hill sections which Are now being covered by the Hyannis Fire Department, because the fire apparatus_ must. be located within the municipality it serves, which means that some fire apparatus, approved by the Board of Underwriters, should be stationed at some location in West Yarmouth which will give the best cov- erage. Your Selectmen are giving this important matter much consideration. A new four-wheel drive Chevrolet fire truck with con- siderable new equipment was purchased from the War Assets Administration for $1S00.00 last May. Repainted and lettered it. is in use by Company No. -1. Oliver L. SELECTMEN'S REPORT • - The year 1946 has. been one of unusual activity in our town. At the Annual Town Meeting in February the people adopted -the zoning ordinance as submitted by the Plan- ning Board, which gave a great amount of time and study in formulating it. It was most gratifying to them to have their efforts rewarded by the people's endorsement. Amend- ments will be made from. time to time as the town grows and discrepancies appear. That our Town is growing is apparent to those who have observed the new construction under way in spite of the acute shortage of materials and high building costs. On the whole its growth has been wholesome but your Selectmen, who are in daily contact with the many- elbments and problems connected with it, realize there will be need of further regulations to safe- guard the health and wellbeing of the people. In connection with the Town's growth reference is made to the Assessors' Report, which not only gives facts and figures but shows the results of Town Meeting upon the Finances of the Town. A definite improvement in service was made in the • employment of a Town Maintenance man. Instead of having three janitors for the town's three halls, one year round roan takes care of all of them. Being an experienced builder he is able to make needed repairs which has re- sulted in a saving to the Town. The town halls and police barracks were painted a uniform color of ivory body and grey trim. They were done under contract. When zoning took effect March 15th, Mr. Love was appointed Building Inspector which added to his other duties, that of follow- ing up applications and checking building permits to see that the requirements were being adhered to. At the last Annual Town Meeting you voted to abolish the offices of Road Commissioners and instructed the Se- lectmen to appoint a Superintendent of Streets. Our Town, we believe, was the only one in the Commonwealth still 63 62 Studley, who acquired much valuable experience serving on the fire department at Camp Edwards, was appointed early in 1946 to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of his father, Gilbert Studley, who organized and for many years competently directed Company No. 1 as Chief .En- gineman.• Reference is made to the reports of the Chief Engineman. It is noted in Mr. Studley's report that in 1946 Company No. 1 was called to twelve dump fires which indicates extreme negligence by some persons. Dump fires are costly often requiring many hours and tons of water to subdue,. and if left smoldering create a stench over a ride area. - Ira Thaeher, Chief Enginetnan Company No. 2, reports that the new fire station in Yarmouth Port is near- ing completion. Plans were drawn for this station in 1940 but the • war intervened. The high cost of materials and labor necessitated a change in the plans. Shortage of ma- terials has made progress slow. Nevertheless a fire station that. is a credit to the community has been built. The members of Fire Company No. 2, wishing to have quarters for their use, are finishing off the second floor at their own expense The Selectmen wish to commend them for their interest. Your attention is called to the Report of the Forest Warden. Fernandus Baker, in which he notes that, in ad.- dit.ion to fire patrol, brushing thirteen miles of roads and other duties, he also • cleaned rubbish from the sides of approximately six miles of roads. This last is a service rendered especially for those who find four town dumps too -inconvenient. The Shellfish Warden, Frederick Schauwecker, reports that over *2S,000. in shellfish were taken from our shores in 1946. demonstrating the value of propagation, which provides both a source of income for our commercial shell - fishermen and many bushels for those who dig their own, The Police Department was augmented by the ap- pointment of William D. Healy as Assistant to Chief Cressy and the purchase of another cruiser, making possible a much wider coverage and more hours of patrol. Many of. us do not realize that the keeping of the peace and preven- tion of crime are the least requiring in time of the many ' duties of the police. Practically all outdoor gatherings, weddings. funerals, etc., and indoor public gatherings, dances. entertainments, etc., require the presence of at least one police officer. Files, accidents, catastrophies of any nature call for the police. Traffic duty, court appear-. ances and investigations all take time. Even in a small town all of this is a large order. 19-16 saw -the return of most of our servicemen, happy to resume their place in community life. A little welcome home party for them was given last August and those of you who attended the ball game and band concert and the dance in Lyceum Hall were gratified to see that the boys and their guests were having a really good time. The Committee in charge of the program are to be congrat- ulated. The Board of Selectmen with the help' of all others arenow looking forward to a better year in 1947.

These budget changes are mandatory in Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children and are made to defray the higher costs of living of the present time. The relief roll has been steadily rising during"1946 and we ex- pect a greater influx in 1947. For this reason we are ask- ing for a larger appropriation for the year 1947. By Public Welfare we refer to the Yarmouth settled cases for which we receive no reimbursement while Out- side Welfare are those with settlement in other cities and towns or state cases, living in Yarmouth, and for which we are fully reimbursed.

KNOW LES, Accounting Officer • joint Report of The - PLANNING BOARD and BOARD OF APPEALS At the last annual Town Meeting the voters of the town for the first time adopted a zoning ordinance. In its first year of operation, the Planning Board feels that its adoption was both wise and beneficial for the town, and that a long step has been taken toward the future prosper- ity and growth of the Town. The benefits and advantages of this zoning ordinance will become increasingly apparent and helpful as each year goes by. However carefully any ordinance or by -lac- is drawn and put into effect and however fairly and judiciously it might be administered. there are certain matters bound to arise which could not be foreseen at its conception, and hence the Planning Board should at all times be ready to recommend such changes and amendments as will meet existing conditions that. arise from time to time. This year the Board has recommended certain amend- ments to the zoning ordinance and they will appear in an article of the Town Warrant for acceptance or rejection by the Town. The Planning Board also feels that the care and main- tenance of the three garden plots which sometime ago they advocated should be continued and a proper amount should be raised for their maintenance and care.. We have also suggested that the naming of the streets and roads of the Town be given consideration so that old names might be continued and a duplication_ of _ names_ rnight be done away and- many new streets might be ap- propriately named. and we have accordingly placed an article in the Town Warrant for this purpose_ In respect to the Board of Appeals which was provided for in the zoning ordinance and also under the statute and. which has been setup in accordance therewith.. the Board has had twelve appeals (this includes -petitions for vari- ances) and the Board of Appeals haveallowed seven of 78 these petitions and denied five. The Board of Appeals un- der this zoning law, or any zoning law, performs a most important function in any town affair and especially in connection with the administration of any.zoning law. The • Board of Appeals was set up to render more flexible the provisions of the zoning by-law and its function is to vary the sante when a matter of enforcement Wou1l work a hard- ship and in so doing. they must take into consideration the attitude and feelings and desire of the neighborhood...; in which location a petition for variance is sought. The function of the zoning law and of the Board of Appeals is not to restrict or deny or hold steadfast the said matters. but to so interpret the zoning law so that the Town may grow in the proper way and to attract good business. Only in the exercise of conscientious and impar- tial jidgmentTan the administration of the by-law or any other law be given its proper effect. Vonr Board of Appeals feels that they are earnestly attemptin.g to do this and will so continue to do for the best interests of the Town. Respectfully submitted. A. HAROLD CASTONGUAY .

They were planted in Lewis Bay. •Also 69 bush- els of clam seed, which were planted on the shores of Englewood ; 275 .bushels of oysters which were planted off Colonial Acres; Parker's River and Baxter Avenue. Working with the State we transplanted 328 bushels of scallop seed from Pine Island Creek to the deep waters of Lewis Bay. At the present time clams are very scarce on the North shores due -.to the shifting sands caused by the hurricane. We hope to reseed the flats' during 1947. Scallop and yuahaug• seeds are plentiful in the Bass River and Lewis Bay areas. Fifty-seven commercial permits. were issued. - Several warnings were given to persons violating the shellfish regulations. Over 12.000 miles were- covered on ,patrol Respectfully submitted. FRED C. SC13AUWECKER Shellfish Constable . ROBERT M. KELLEY 80 REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES . To the Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: 1 hereby submit a summary of my activities for 1946. I have made approximately :300 inspections throughout the town. It has been necessary this past year to inspect all Homes for the Aged, as the laws relating to the wiring have been tightened due.to serious fires in such homes in other areas: Every house is inspected after a fire therein: I have found a few isolated eases where fire had damaged the in- • solation of the.. wires. and some eases where wires had actually caused the fire. 1 would like to advise all householders never to put anything larger than a 15 amp. fuse in their lighting cir- cuits unless the circuit is installed for a heavier type. I find in most eases that defective wires could not have started a fire if the circuit was properly fused. This fuse is the`safety valve of the electrieal installation. Continuous blowing of fuses indicates something is wrong, and you should call your electrician to remedy the fault. .Do not under any conditions short circuit the safety device •by putting in a coin; as this is guaranteed to start a fire. 1 have traveled approximately 3,000 miles in pursu- ance of these. duties..

Some feed patches were put in, but due to. the many shortages and excessive prices we have put off attempting to purchase game until we feel there is some prospect of getting a fair return for• the money spent. - There is an unexpended balance of $159.37 which we think is sufficient to carry us through the nest"year under present conditions. • Respectfully yours, - - E.

Dear Sir: I herewith submit the inventories of the several de- partments of the town, as received and checked by me, according to the action taken at the Town Meeting March, 194S. These inventories were supposed to be in my hands . by June 15. 1946, so I could cheek them and deliver them to you by December 15. 1946. but I did`not receive the majority of them until after December 15th. I think that a more complete inventorycould be taken of the School Department as I understand that the one given me was an old one of several years ago. Very truly- yours. IIarry M.

COMMITTEE of the TOWN OF YARMOUTH To the Citizens of Yarmouth: • The year 1946 has passed with an overcrowded school system remaining one of our chief problems. Priorities•and building restrictions have kept the Committee from becom- ing, more active in definite plans for enlargement. An • adequate increase to our present building should be under- takrn as soon as possible and practical. A beautiful view of our school from the new state high- way by-pass has been opened by the improvement taking place on our athletic grounds. The money appropriated at the last town meeting has been used to clear -and grade the entire field and to build a football grid -iron, the seed- • ing of which will be done in the spring. A request is being °made again this year for money to put in a baseball diamond. A late school bus run to all sections of the Town lias been put into effect to enable children to remain after school for further help in their studies and to participate in athletics as well as other school activities. Many par- ents of students have expressed their appreciation of this added service. Higher salaries and material costs have been reflected in our annual budget this year. Salary increases are again being asked for in the attempt to encourage and retain our present school personnel. Teachers' salaries must be kept in line with our neighboring towns. We desire to thank our superintendent, principal, teachers and other personnel who are doing a splendid job for us and who are endeavoring to make our school a pride to our Town. Respectfplly submitted, ALBERTO W. SMALL, Chairman HERVEY L. SMALL :WINTHROP V. WILBUR 155 REPORT of SUPERINTENDENT of SCHOOLS To the School Committee of Yarmouth:. 1 herewith submit my first report as Superintendent of Schools, and the fifty-fifth report in the series of annual reports by the union ,Superintendent of Schools. REGULATIONS ON SCHOOL ENTRANCE Any child who will be six years of age on or before the next January first may enter the first grade in Sep- tember. In accordance with the state law, it is necessary that a child be vaccinated before he enters school. Massachusetts Laws — Chapter 76 — Section 15 of the laws of the Commonwealth reads: "An unvaccinated child shall not be admitted to a public. school except upon presentation of a certificate from a physician stating that the child's condition nvo 1d be injured by vaccination. Such certificates must be renewed every year. REPORTS TO PARENTS Parents are urged to see that pupils' report cards are signed and returned promptly to the school. Signature does not indicate approval, but merely that the card has been seen by the parent. No homework is required in the elementary grades. However, at times home work may be assigned individual cases due to absence or the child's desire to do some Work at home. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. Regularity of attendance and punctuality are impor- tant from the first day in school on for the following rea- sons: • The earlier that a child learns that school is his job and that he has something important to do the more satis- factory will be his growth. 156 9n DISMISSAL FROM SCHOOL Parents are urged not to request the dismissal of chil dren from school for any reason except an emergency. TARDINESS: Children are required to bring a note from home stating reason for tardiness. An impm•tant reason, for this rule. is to be. sure that parents are. aware that the child was tardy. ABSENCE All pupils absent. from school, except when dismissed as stated above, are required t.o bring . a written excuse signed by the parent or other responsible member of the family stating -the reason for the absence. •This excuse Should be sent by the child on the first session which. he attends after the absence. NO -SCHOOL •BROADCAST It is the policy of the School Department to order the no-sehoo}-broadcast only in the most severe weather con- ditions or when transportation service is interrupted. At other times, parentis are expected to use their own judg- ment' in sending childrei to school. The no -school broadcast is over station R'OCl3, starting at 7 :30 A.M.' and continuing at intervals when news is be- ing •repeated. ENROLLMENT TRENDS One of the most important 'natters facing the school is the problem of school housing, which will be accentuated by the influx of pupils which the increased birth rate leads us to expect to be felt t.o a marked degree in the elemen- tary school by 1948. This fact, coupled with the present inadequate housing for our grades, seems to indicate that prompt action .and constructive thinking should be com- bined to alleviate this unsatisfactory condition as soon as building conditions permit. 157 • TEACHER CHANGES Changes in teachers during 1946 reynired the replace- menl of shunt forty per tent of the teaching staff. - Miss Angelina C. AIberto resigned to go to a position in -Franklin. Massachusetts. 1ler position as cafeteria man- ager was taken over by. Mrs. Elizabeth Kcveney of Yar- mouth. Mrs. Iainor W. Dunn. who was teaehing the social seien('es in the high school as an emergency teacher, left last March when Mr. (leorge .1. Hill, jest returned to civ- ilian life. resumed his (duties here. Mr. Samuel Strickland, • teacher of physical edneation and boys' coach, resigned his position to take one in Wayland, Massachusetts. He is snel•eeded by Mr. II. Xenneth Rodgers, .a graduate of Pennsylvania State Teachers College. Miss Louise Reilly • . resigned in June to seek a position for which she trained in college. (trade six has been changed froTrl.the junior high school to the eletnentary system and Mrs. Elizabeth M. Cockle was hired for this position. Mrs. Cockle is a teacher of wide experience and has an M.A. degree from .the University of Minnesota. Mrs. Helen 0. Sims resigned her position in the over- . How room .to move to .Springfield with her family... Mrs. Frances.1. Baker, a former Melrose teacher, was hired as her successor. Miss Roberta D. Whipple, the art super- visor, resigned to be married and her position was filled by Miss Jane C. Allen of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and a graduate of the University of .Wisconsin and University of Michigan, School of Design. Professor Louis ' C. Lam- bert, teacher of foreign languages, retired on account of age and is succeeded by Mr. Mark E. Rice, a graduate of Middlebury College, 1943. Miss Elisabeth M. Clough, senior high school English teacher, resigned on account of her mar- riage. Her successor is Miss Helen Miazga of Ludlow, Mas- sachusetts, a graduate of the American International Col- lege in Springfield. Mrs. Marjorie B. Kelly, high school librarian, resigned 158 her position on December 20, 1946. Her place has not yet been filled. I)ue to the enlarged enrollment of the first grade, an- other teacher had to be employed as assistant and_ Mrs. Irene C. Hinckley was given this position. The problem of replacing teachers was more difficult this year than in previous years, due to fewer candidates and the necessity of competing with higher wage scales. • ORGANIZATION Schools opened in September. 1946, with twenty full- time teachers. the principal and five part-time supervisors. Teachers were assigned to grades and classes as follows: Toini Heinmila and Irene Hinckley, grade 1 • 11Iarguerite E. Small, grade 2 Dorothea M. Murray, grade 3 F. Eloise Baker grade 4A Frances J.

Rinehart, handwriting system MILK ANI) LUNCH PROGRAM The three -cent .milk program has been continued in cooperation with the Community School Lunch Program. Milk was available in the cafeteria for 179 school days with an average daily distribution of 360 half pints. Lunch room sales have increased to about $75-80 per day. Prices have remained low because of continued fed- eral assistance. In addition to payment of a part of the cost of milk, the governrnent has reimbursed us seven cents on each hot plate meal, these meals averaging approximate- ly 198 a day for each day that school was in session. The balance of the meals served consisted of soups, salads, sand- wiches and fruit. SUMMARY OF NEEDS Listed below is a summary of the needs of our school: 1. More space for the elementary school 2. More space for the cafeteria 3. More space for the manual training shop 4. More space for girls specializing in work of household arts 5. More laboratory equipment for use in science 6. Wooden exterior and trim of the building should be painted 7. The boilersshould be recovered with new as- bestos. 8. An oil burner should be installed in the hot water heater. 9. Five class rooms at least should be repaired. 10. There should be storage space for supplies. REPAIRS Repairs for the year included the sealing of the gym- nasium floor as well as all the room floors in the building. Both the upper and the lower corridors of the build - i 1 160 ing were painted by the janitors, as was the boys' and girls' basements and the kitchen in the cafeteria. • . The superintendent's office and the school committee room were also painted. - The oil burner in one of the boilers was re -set and ad- justed. ATHLETIC FIELD During the summer the School Committee had plans and specifications of the proposed new athletic field drawn up and advertised for bids for the contract for doing the work on the field. The work was awarded to Louis A. Byrne Nurseries, Inc., and work started in September. CLOSING In closing. 1 wish•'to express my appreciation for the fine cooperation which 1 have received from my fellow workers in the school department and from the School Committee and citizens of the Town. - Respectfully submitted ALFRED R. KENYON Superintendent of Schools REPORT OF TI -IE PRINCIPAL Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Dear Sir: I amu pleased to submit my annual report as principal of the John Simpkins School. Commencement Week activities last .June were eg- panded to include a highly- effective Class Day held on the school lawn, with- the innovation of an outside speaker at Graduation, Dr. Mark of .Lexington, who was very well received.. • 161 At these exercises forty-three members of the class re- ceived their diplomas. In addition, two members of the class of 1945 also received diplomas, having completed their . requirements. Of the class, nineteen are now •employed, seven are in the armed services, six are in colleges, five are - in business colleges, one is in art school, two are in the Maritime Academy, one is married and two are at home. It is interesting to observe the increase in the number con- tinuing their education over the figures of a year ago, as was predicted. In so far as is known all who sought to enter colleges or schools were successful in gaining admin= sion. This is most, unusual in view of the crowded con- ditions of the past Fall. High School enrollment for the current school year by subjects is as follows: Algebra 1 Algebra 2 Art Biology- Chemistry iologyChemistry Civics Economics & Sociology Economic Geography English I English II English III English IV French I French II General Math. General Science Household Arts Introductory Business 54 19 26 45 31 56 29 20 53 59 66 59 13 17 35 29 24 23 Latin I 24 Latin II 24 Mechanical Arts 43 Office Practice 22 Physical Ed.—Boys 92 Physical Ed.—Girls 148 Plane Geometry 10 Problems of Democracy 49 Senior Science 32 Spanish 1 25 Spanish II - 7 Stenography 1 . 26 Stenography 2 19 Typewriting I 28 Typewriting II 21 U. S. History 62 World History 30 The program has been expanded •and enriched by of • - Tering new courses in economic geography in the commer- cial curriculum and economics and sociology as an elective. An up-to-date revised descriptive course of study has been • prepared and is available to all pupils in selecting their courses. Household Arts has been restored to the program, although badly handicapped by lack of facilities and space. f4 162 From the above figures may be noted the general increase in the size of classes in spite of the added subjects. Student Activities Association In an effort to streamline the various activity accounts and benefit the individual classes, the four active class ac- counts have been withdrawn from the general funds. These are now deposited to the credit of each class in the Bass River Savings Bank where they draw interest for four years and are carefully administered by the class officers under the supervision of their class advisor. A report of all accounts now in the general Student Activities Association fund as of January 1; 1947, follows: Account Class of 1946 Class of 1947 Class of 1948 Class of 1949 Athletics "Cheleaders" Dramatic Club Non -athletic taxes School.Paper Student A.A.

The purchase of a new electric scoreboard for the gymnasium, the financing of a monthly series of profes- sional assemblies from a Boston bureau, trips to the Boston Garden for both girls' and boys' basketball teams, a visit to the Symphony Hall Pops Concert by the glee club and bus transportation for all athletic teams are only a fen' of the benefits derived from the added funds. 163 Cafeteria In keeping with the growth of the school, the cafeteria has likewise grown. - Mrs. Keveney, long connected with the cafeteria was promoted in September to manager and has done an excellent job during a very difficult period with menus and service greatly improved in spite of scarcities and high prices. She has been ably assisted by Mrs. Nick- erson and Mrs. Cusick, now replaced by Mrs. Mae Camp- bell. Since March 1945 all proceeds from the cafeteria have been turned over to the town treasurer and all bills paid through that office as directed. Receipts and 'expenditures for this period, from figures kindly furnished by the treasurer, are as follows: Cash receipts $9192 68 . - -- Federal Subsidy . 3040 59 • Total receipts Operating Expense Cash balance Outstanding bill Net balance $12 233 27 11 879 66 $353 61 225 18 $128 43 It should be clearly understood that the cafeteria op- erates under the Federal Community Lunch Program which is a non-profit proposition. Cash receipts are not permitted to cover.operating costs, but are supplemented by a federal . subsidy based upon quantities served. The balance shown above indicates the efficient management which the cafe- teria has enjoyed. Library - While the library is still being used as an over -crowded study hall, it is no longer adequate for even this purpose. Overflow study pupils are obliged to occupy one and two 164 additional classrooms during certain periods thus wasting valuable teacher time as well as space. ; Circulation of library materials for the year is reported as follows by Marjorie Kelly, librarian Pamphlets 1538 3100 Magazines Reference Books 2398' It is hoped that Mrs. Kelly, whose recently accepted, may soon be replaced. School Activities It is felt that the activity period, scheduled last year, is taking an even more important place in the program this year. The time has been extended to a full hour each week during which period the orchestra now meets as do the glee club, rifle club, dramatic club, arts and crafts club, aero- nautics club. camera club and debating club. While plans are most tentative at present it is hoped that a start may be made in interscholastic debating, prize speaking arid even one -act play competition. The first annual student council skating carnival was held last winter on James Pond at the Scout Lodge, which activity merits repetition. • A faculty -student assembly committee has arranged a year's program of movies and pupil -sponsored assemblies supplemented by the professional series mentioned above. The athletic program gives more promise than perhaps at any time in recent years. New and adequate equipment has been provided for the teams. The new athletie field is well under way. Competent coaches are now working with both girls' and boys' groups and it is confidently expected that Yarmouth teams will soon take their proper place among Cape schools. Fiction 286 resignation was Recommendations It is gratifying that so many recommendations of last year have been realized. Added playground equipment bas been purchased and it is hoped that more may be pro- vided for the younger pupils another year. 165 The new freezing unit for the cafeteria has been pur- chased and has already resulted in savings. The suggested late bus for high school pupilsis now in operation in Yarmouth, filling a long -felt need. It is again urged that similar transportation be furnished the Dennis pupils in order that they share the same benefits. With the restoring of Household Arts to the program, the facilities have proved inadequate. The cooking de- partment is necessarily over -run by the growing cafeteria and this phase of the work has to be omitted. The shop program is expanding and is in need of added space. The perennial problem of the eighth grade in the audi- torium still persists. The fourth grade is divided between two rooms, one of which is most inadequate. The first grade now has -two teachers, both in one room. This group should definitely be divided. The entire picture is one of urgently needed expansion and the problem merits early consideration by the communi- ty. In closing may I express my sincere appreciation to you and to the school committee and to all those associated with me for their continued cooperation -and support. Respectfully snbinitted • NORMAN B. DINSMORE, Principal SCHOOL PHYSICIAN'S REPORT Because of Dr. Goff's retirement, I have taken over his duties as school physician. During the short while I have been here, I have exam ined the athletic teams and have started to give the students their routine yearly check ups. Defects that have been found have been reported to their parents. There have been no serious epidemics. although there have been quite a few eases of whooping cough in this neighborhood. 166 In the fall the Mantoux test was given to determine the presence of inberciilous bacilli. Before the year is out, other regular clinics will have been held. The superintendent, principal, -a»d teachers have. co- operated in every way. Respectfully submitted; HERMON R. HOWES. School Physician SCHOOL NURS'E'S REPORT The school nursing work in the town of Yarmouth dur- ing 1946 followed much the same pattern as in former years. The demand for the usual order of procedure con- tinues at about the same level each year, We. have had our usual clinics for the Correction of defects of vision and dental clinics for the correction of dental caries. Dne to the fact that we have not had a County Realth Officer since last June, we have been unable to arrange for a toxoid clinic; but now that a new Health Officer has been appointed, we hope to have one before the school year is over. - In October we collaborated with the Barnstable Coun- ty Sanitarium in giving the Mantoux Test in the high school. This is a skin test to determine the presence of tuberculous baccilli in an individual and, although • we found several positive reactors. the chest X-rays of all were negative. Other routine work includes individual inspections. consultations with teachers, weighing of pupils, assisting the physician with the annual health examinations and home visits. • To all our co-workers in the school we take this oppor- tunity to express our appreciation for their co-operation. The statistical report of our work follows:.

KELLEY . 1 46 WATER DEPARTMENT REPORT . Yarmouth, Mass., December 27, i1947 The Board of \'Vater Commissioners hereby submit the annual report of the Water Department for the year 1947. Present number of Water Services Services Vacant Gallons of water pumped Stock on hand, estimated value Cash received from Barnstable Fire District Gallons of Water Pumped to Barnstable Fire District 886 12 58,274,115 $9,487.44 3,144.76 21,688.000 The Water Commissioners are pleased to report that the Water System. with the extension of 1946, is proving to be both popular and practical. Gradually,•the residents of' the town, who have town water available. are beginning to realize. thnt a guaranteed water supply of good pure water is annch more desirable •than an' individual system interrupted by power failures. dry spells; and occasional repairs. As a result. we are gratified to report that we now have S00 services in operation, and an additional 86 ser- vices. installed where the owner is waiting for the proper time to connect to the town system, and applications for new services constantly coming in. We sincerely believe that. with the present amount of house building being undertaken in our town, the water system. as approved by the voters, could not have been installed at a more practical or desirable time. The water system is not only proving to be a boon to people.buildinr new homes, but it has resulted in savings of 500 or better in .fire insurance rates to those people living within 3 milds of a fire station. Some of the residents of West Yarmouth have not received the benefit of these new rates, but they may expect them as soon as a fire station is built in West Yarmouth, funds for which were appropriated at the 1947 town meeting. 47 There is still some money available in the extension • acconnt,.and it is.onr'hope to use this•for the extension of mains where such an extension will prove to he the best for return of revenue; and also, where -it will be good water works engineering, i. e. the closing of loops in the system. It is also going to he necessary to acquire a small'amount of land north of—coir Well field to meet State Department of health .requirements which insist on our control of land within a distance of 200 feet from the nearest well. -. The Water Commissioners have received numerous re- quests.to assist in installing mains in private real estate developments, but have rejected these requests on the grounds That a favorable decision did not represent the best interests of the town. However, we look with favor upon any action which will encourage a good normal healthy growth of our real estate: and for that reason we have detlided that in order to promote and develop real estate, and .home building in our town, we will ask only that a •10%, guaranteed revenue on initial investment be assured. This we propose to do by agreements representing a lien on the property until the cost of such extensions has been paid to the town. By this action, we protect the taxpayers money-. and at the same time, aid in t.he,growth of our town. We have, during the course of the year, negotiated a .new contract for five years with •the Commissioners of the Barnstable Fire District for the sale of water to them at the rate of $148.00 per million gallons. This contract you will he asked to approve under an article in the town «-arrant. They, the Barnstable Fire District. are `old and valued customers. We appreciate their patronage. Late in the fall, •we hired as maintenance man. under the G.I. Bill of Rights. Mr. Gorham Clift of South Yarmouth. Ile makes a .capable addition to our perrianent personnel, who have served the town faithfully. and well during the year 1947. In our' budget requests. we have asked that Mr. Clifton Ellis and 31r.. Benton Pulsifer he granted cost of living bonuses of :;250.00 per year: We trust, that know._ 48 - -• ing their public worth, you will agree that these requests are not out of line with existing conditions. Let us. state once more, that we are your employees, and for this reason, we look, for -and expect constructive criticism -arid .good advice. ".Please feel free to ask any of the Commissioners or -the permanent employees any ques- tion at any time.: We will try to be of service.

STUDLEY, Chief Engineman Report of the Fire Company No. 2 Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: I hereby submit the Annual Report of Fire Company No. 2. • This Company answered nineteen calls during 1947 divided as follows: - House fires - 2 - Brush 8, Grass 9 Chimney fires- 1 Oil burners 2 • Dump fires 2 Automobile 1 Hay pile 1 Fake alarms 1 Average roll call .12 52 . This Department was very fortunate again this year in having comparatively few fires and only one of a serious nature. This fact is due in great part to the effective work of Mr. Fernandus Baker on the forest patrol, and the thought- ful cooperation of all our townspeople in respecting the rest.rietions imposed for so long a period this year. 1 would like to make a brief report of the progress made on our new station. The upstairs is now completed due to the voluntary work of our members who - have given unsparingly of their time to accomplish this work. We as a Department have invested more than eleven hundred dollars of our own funds towards this end. and 1 hereby publicly wish to thank each and every meinh 'r 'for his contri1ution.

About the only matter which was brought to our attention was the question of the dumps. • Briefly, the Planning Board is recommending that a central dump be acquired and that the present four dumps in town be done away with. At least two of the present dumps are so close to habitation as to present a very seri- ous problem fv.'. disease, to say nothing of the. odors, etc., emitting froL' them. Add to this the expense of maintain- ing the present four dumps and the difficulty encountered in the administration. of the four places, and it would seem to be the wise thing to have a central dump, similiar to the Town of Dennis, with a man on duty at all times. It may very. well be that the cost of maintaining the central dump will be about the same as the present four, but the Board feels that the other evils will be corrected, and so recommends as above set forth. We would also suggest that the three small garden plots which we advocated some time ago be kept up. We consider these little plots a distinct asset to the Town and the cost is Very negligible. - - The Board of Appeals has been extremely active in the past year, and wherein the first year we heard twelve appeals (in this respect, this really means petitions for variances), during the past year the Board has heard thirty- three. In other words; pretty nearly three times as many. We have allowed twenty-three and. denied, ten._ From this it is- very apparent, to the casual observer even, that the Town is going forward in leaps and bounds; and those people that attend the hearings of the Board of Appeals, I think, go away having -a, i• -better knowledge of what .the Board's function is and its civic responsibility. 54 : • 1947 Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise as per Warrants $10 034 60 Refunds 304 66 10 339 26 Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise Collected 9 122 92 Abatements 471 81 9 594 73 Outstanding December 31, 1947 744 53 Total Outstanding December 31, 1947 $16 964 23 CHARLES O.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES To the Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth, Mass. c'1 Gentlemen: 1 hereby submit a summary of my activities for the year 1947. Approximately 389 inspections were made, necessitating some 3700 miles of travel. I know of no fires caused by defective wiring this year, although I have found a few cases where wiring was de- fective, and in every case when the home owner's attention was called to it, it was immediately rectified_ The hurricane in mid-November damaged quite a few electric services; but did. not-- compare with the damage caused by the 1944 hurricane. Respectfully submitted, E. FRUEAN J8, Inspector of Wires This message is a eontinnntioii of last rear's where we ended by tonching briefly npou population and is intended. like before, to give those interested in Town. affairs more information Maim assessments anti taxes.

For the Year 1947 January 8. 19-k Of the common communicable • diseases, measles was the most prevalent in the county during the year. A total of 338 cases being reported to this office. Acute anterior poliomyelitis was present during the summer but of the four cases reported,. only one developed any paralytic symptoms. Cases of two less common diseases were re- ported, namely: two cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and two cases of Tularemia. A series of immunizatiini clinics were held during the spring months. A total of 944 children were immunized against diphtheria and 170 vac- cinated against smallpox. A series of meetings were held with the -public health nurses in the eounty for the purpose of further promotinw preventive services and to d.iseuss common problem:, whiH•h had arisen. - During the last week in June, a five day meeting spon.. sored by the Mass. Departments of Education and Public Health and attended by the. school superintendents and other interested school personnel, was held at Hyannu. Methods for improvement of the school health program were. discussed and plans recommended for future develop. ments. Members of this department participated in thi- discussions. • Crippled Children Clinics were held as usual at tm Cape Cod Hospital. In January, a special foot clinic was organized as part of the out patient service of the hospital and this department has furnished certain administrative assistance. including nursing service to this clinic. A Iota; of 161 children made 476 visits to these clinics. Well child conferences were held during the sauuu months and 451 children were examined. In the • field of sanitation, activities were carried. 87 at a somewhat increased tempo. Investigations were made of water supplies on request and samples examined in the laboratory. Pasteurizing plants and dairy farms were routinely inspected. As of December 31, there were nine pasteurizing plants in operation and 24 local dairies supply ing milk to these plants. A survey made in February 1947, showed that 95% of the fluid milk sold in the county was pasteurized. Since that time, other pasteurizing plants have become operative and at_the end of the year, only •a very small amount of raw milk was being sold. With rare exceptions, bacterial samples taken routinely on milk supplies showed counts were below legal limits. Increased attention Was given to food Sanitation. Dur- ing June and July, a survey of the sanitation in all food handling establishments was carried_ out. Following the survey, follow up visits were made concentrating our at- tention on those places found to be most in need of im- provement. In connection with this work, anore than the usual number of examinations were done on swabs taken from utensils used for serving.food and drink.

Gentlemen: • I hereby submit my report as Fuel Oil -inspector for the year 1947. 1 have inspected 103 oil burning installations and 4 gas installations. and: have foundit necessary to -condonc:- only one installation, which had been in use for quit few years. The trouble was caused, 1 believe. .by the fa ure of an automatic control.. 1Avould like to recommend to those having automatic oil heating equipment thatthey inspect, or have inspock by a competent workman, the safety devices on th,,•7 equipment occasionally to see - that these devices arc ir proper working 'condition, and that all necessary safrIy, del -ices are installed in. the system as they are put tia-r: to prevent serious accident or fire. f -89 On June 3, 1947, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts :Dipartnient. of Public Safety brought, out new regulations governing the keeping and storing of fuel oil or other inflammable liquid products used for fuel. I shall not at- tempt, to. quote them in their entirety, but have chosen a few that will be of interest to the hoineowner. 1. A person, firm or corporation shall not make nor alter a filel oil burner installation until a certificate of competency is obtained from the marshal. These certificates are issued to men who are engaged in the business of installing oil burners. 2. A -permit to install or alter an oil burner must be obtained from the .Town Fuel Oil Inspector. 3. No tank may be kept inside a -building unless it has an approval tag issued by the State Fire Marshal affixed thereto, and properly vented and filled from the outside. 4. No oil burning equipment shall be installed unless it has affixed thereto a tag showing that the equipment has been approved by .the com- monwealth of Massachusetts. 5. No oil may be delivered unless a permit for its storage has first been obtained from the Town Fuel Oil Inspector. I have no knowledge of any fire being caused by faulty installation of power burners this year. Respectfully submitted, E. FRUEAN, JR.

Conclusion 1 wish to thank Chief Studley and the members of the Yarmouth Fire Department for their donation to the Chil- drens Christmas Parte at the school. 1 also wish to express my appreciation for the fine co-operation which I have received from my fellow workers in the school department and from the School Committee and from citizens of the Town. Respectfully submitted, Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools January 1, 1948 Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sir:. i am pleased to submit my annual report as principal of the John Simpkins School. The largest class in the history of the school was graduated as a climax to a successful Commencement Week last June with fifty-nine graduates receiving their diplomas. The Baccalaureate Service was returned to the school after several years•.in the various churches and was conducted as a candlelight service with Professor John C. Scammell of Boston University in charge. For the first time it was 1 140 impossible to hold the graduation exercises in the school auditorium because of the size of the class and the demand for .tickets. Through. the generosity of Mr. Richard Al- drich, the Cape Playhouse in Dennis was made available to the school, thus accommodating some six hundred guests and making possible a most effective 'graduation.. Dean Charles W. Ilavice of .Northeastern. University was the graduation speaker. Of the fifty-nine grae uates, thirteen are now attending various eolleges, six are in business colleges, two are in nursing schools, one in rado sehool,.two in modelling school, one is studying hairdressing, three are in the armed ser: vices, twenty are employed in various occupations, five are married, and six are unemployed. Attention is called to the large number attending colleges and - other. schools. This figure is Unusually high, indicating the interest of our graduates in higher education. All reports thus far received from the various colleges on the work being done by this group are entirely satisfactory. In several instances work of honor grade has been reported. The high school enrollment for the current school year by subjects is as follows____. Algebra 1 Algebra 2 Art Biology Bookkeeping Civics 54.

Itr'speetfull) nul,rni t , Norman R. Ilirmsriore...i'r Herewith is submitted my annual .repot of vocal music in the John Simpkins Schr.,cl_ ?j,.=,w-_ • Massachusetts. 144 The objectives of our course is to promote individual growth and development through music activities, to pro- vide joyful experiences and promote skills by .participat- ing p '1aing appropriately in all phases of musical experience. Active participation in sequential musical experiences, based on child interests, increasing iu scope and complexity leading towards mastery. is the main objetive of music education. In the elementary school our reading, tone, and theory of music as a whole is superior, according to the report of the state music supervisor, Mrs. Martina Driscoll, who visited our schools last May. Mrs. Driscoll gave many sug- gestions and demonstrations in rhythmic response, which we have used in our program. Music appreciation has been introduced into our junior and senior high schools. Everyone can't sing, but every- one can be an intelligent listener. We have had several assemblies this year in grades one through eight .in which music played the major part. The high school glee club • performed at a public ap- pearance this year on Education Night, and a group from the Glee Club sang various selections for the Brewster and Yarmouth W ofoan's Clubs. A musicale, combining the instrumental and choral groups was given in May .showing the accomplishment of each department during the year. Music played a major part in the activities of Class Day, Baccalaureate and Graduation. The music appreciation course is now well established in its second year. Classes meet three times a week. Rehearsals are under way for an operetta and concert which is planned for this Spring. 1 wish to thank all those who have helped me and given me their cooperation during the past year. Grace E.

This elinie k --sponsored by the District. Nursing Association of 13arnstahle;_armouth, and Dennis and is available to all school .cl»ltheii 'in the above named towns. • In e r ar1- we gave the hearing test using the Barn- stable Co hty audiometer and in April and May we had Dental cliiiics'sponsored by,the Yarmouth Board of Health and Toxoid c}iuics, where Dr. Fred Moore, County. Health officer, administered the treatment. September found us starting our routine all over again, inspections with special attention for vaccinations, weigh ing pupils. testing of vision and assisting the school doctor with annual physical examinations. Classroom inspections and Home visits serve to bring us ill contact with the child .and the home. We feel that our best results are usually accomplished in our home visits where we discuss problems with the parents. We find the co-operation from the parents and the teachers at a very high level and for this we wish to ex- press our appreciation.
