Respectfully submitted, James S. Keaveney Louis F. Moruzzi Vernon D. Whynott Gerald O. Cash December 31, 1965 Registrars of Voters REPORT OF THE HISTORIC COMMISSION BAXTER MILL TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN IN AND FOR THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH : Herewith is my report of the Baxter Mill for the year 1965. We sold 75 pounds of corn meal and I return to the Town the ssum of $33.00. Again, we were forced to keep the mill closed on several Saturdays, because we could not find anyone to give up an hour or so of time on a Saturday afternoon unless we paid them, which we do not intend to do. We do owe the thanks of the Town to Joseph Cunning- ham and Pat Coleman in giving their time in keeping the mill open Saturday and Sunday. I should also mention two people who have helped in repair of the mill from time to time, to wit : George Kelley and Ben Baxter, both residents of the Town of Barnstable. The mill is in good condition and is working fine. . A. Harold Castonguay, Chairman 59 REPORT OF THE HISTORIC YARMOUTH PORT DISTRICT COMMISSION At the Special Town Meeting held on October 25, 1965, the voters of the Town of Yarmouth unanimously adopted Chapter 694 Acts of 1965 creating the Historic Yarmouth Port District. The purpose of the Act that created the commission is to preserve the villages of Yarmouth and Yarmouth Port as one of the unspoiled areas which still exist on Cape Cod. We of the Commission will use our best efforts to carry out the provisions of the Act designed to protect the District and will also endeavor to guide applicants toward voluntary con- formity with the historic and architectural environment of the community. Headquarters for the Commission has been located at Lyceum Hall where regular meetings are held at 7:30 p. m. on each second Tuesday of the month. Although established late in the year the commission has received 11 requests for Certificates of Appropriateness, sev- eral of which were for types of work for which no certificate was required. The residents of the District, citizens of the Town, town officials and others have been most helpful in assisting the commission to get under way. Historic Yarmouth Port District Commission Albert S. Cross Ralph W. Harwood Albert Niemi Roderick E. Smith Stanley V. Van Riper REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION The Yarmouth Recreation Commission is happy to report that the Golf Course again had a profitable year. Total re- cepts were $101,587.57 against budget expenditures of $63,- 231.64. Our records show over 35,000 rounds of golf were played and there are 224 annual members, of which 129 were Yarmouth residents and tax -payers. Within the last few years two new courses have opened in our vicinity. This has not had a detrimental effect on our 60 operation as witnessed by the above figures. In addition, we are happy to report that our course is still well groomed and suffered relatively little from the dry season. We arc also fol. Lunate in having a spring -fed pond for a water supply. We recognize, however, that we should con- serve this supply as much as possible without limiting neces- sary irrigation. To this end our present efforts are toward the modernization of our irrigation system. Costs have been pro- jected for automation of this system and a fair estimate for such expense is $57,000.00. The Commission believes that such a large capital cost should be spread over several years and we have therefore prepared a special article for the 1966 Town Warrant asking that $20,000.00 be appropriated for the initial stage. The remaining cost will be spread over two years. Without modernization and upkeep geared to present-day demands, our golf course could suffer in later years. We hope to avoid this by proper planning. Though often repeated, it must be said again that the successful operation of the golf course depends on the cap- ability and loyal efforts of the employees engaged in its main- tenance and management, and we again thank them for their contribution and efforts on the Town's behallf. COMMISSIONERS : Nye Crowell, Chairman Oscar W. Doane, Jr., Secretary Peter M. Sykes Lloyd L. Simmons Darrell R. Shepherd REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH INDIANS BASEBALL CLUB December 31, 1965 To : The Honorable Board of Selectmen Yarmouth Town Office South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen : Seasons come and go. Last season found Yarmouth end- ing its '65 season in the same standing as the previous year. Looking forward to another year, we expect many changes and are striving to put Yarmouth on top. With ap- 61 pointment of a good working committee it will be my pleasure to again serve as Business Manager and Treasurer. Also, serv- ing as Field Manager this season will be Merrill "Red" Wil- son. If I may repeat what I have said before. I would like to say, that I want to see all sports in the town survive. Not a survival of the fittest. Also, a , word for the recreation com- mittee. They are doing a fine job and I know they will con- tinue to do so. A Sporting Town is a Healthful Town. We are striving as a Baseball committee to give Yar- mouth the best. That is the reason we will be seeking to light the baseball fielld. This for the betterment of all sports. Thinking of you as fans of sports in the town, the argument being that the games are played just around dinner time. All this will be changed with the installation of lights. We ask your support in favor of this move. All sports need you as fans for better sports. May I take this opportunity to express my thanks and appreciation to all who in any way helped during the '65 season. Look for a better year in '66 and remember : "A SPORTING TOWN IS A HEALTHFUL TOWN." Through the Recreation Commission the Yarmouth In- dians Baseball Team received Eight hundred and fifty dollars, ($850.00) . How this money was spent follows : Appropriation : $850.00 Expenditures : League Entrance Fee : $500.00 Insurance: $173.00 Cape Cod Sports Center : $177.00 Total Expenditures $850.00 Yours for Better Sports Richard T. Welch Business Manager -Treasurer Yarmouth Indians Baseball Club December 31, 1965 62 PLANNING BOARD REPORT The Planning Board continued to process an increasing volume of subdivision plan layouts this year in excess of 1250 lots. The field of responsibility was enlarged in other areas beyond public hearings into : 1. The Yarmouth Historic District Commission resulted from a sub -committee sponsored by the Board. Legis- lation at a special town meeting approved the physi- cal area and a separate commission now exists with its members appointed by the Selectmen. 2. A Traffic Committee created by the Board is at work developing plans for present relief and long range systems to traffic problems. The complex (but very important) aspect of Zoning By - Law changes has had the concentrated attention of the Board and our consultants (Atwood and Blackwell) since the issuing of the Planning Study Report one year ago. The rapid change in land use and the continuing rapid growth in all demands of housing facilities has been of major concern to us. In view of this, a careful balance of the practical needs of today and a study of projection for future needs has made it imperative that the Zoning By -Law Article be presented to the citizen voters at this Town Meeting. The members ask that you attempt to become familiar with the changes as they are reviewed in daily and weekly newspaper items. With your cooperation and prior knowledge the article, if accepted, in total can place firmly an up -dated and workable By -Law ef- fective, at least for a reasonable time, as basic control. Change with amendments will naturally follow and occur after its adoption. As a Planning Board we are charged with land distribu- tion. The following quotation expresses this responsibility : "Land is the basic source of all wealth. Real Estate, wisely used and widely allocated in private ownership, is essential to our national well-being. Upon its intelligent and proper evaluation depend the investments and life- time savings of our people and their confidence in the economy which sustains our free institution."* * Preamble to the Code of Ethics of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers.

Five roads in Hyannis Park, a section of Old Church St. in Yarmouth, a portion of North Rd. and Amos Rd. in West Yarmouth were resurfaced, a total of approximately 1.1 miles. Under Chapter 90 a section of South Shore Drive and South St. were resurfaced and under Chapter 782 Camp St. was 65 rebuilt. North Dennis Rd. was seal -coated. Sidewalks were laid on Willow St. in Yarmouthport, Station Ave., Old Main St. and Route 28 in South Yarmouth, about 4700 feet in all. Forty-eight catch basins were installed using approxi- mately 2000 feet of drainage pipe. Thirty three street signs were installed, some being re- placements for signs that had been removed and destroyed or lost. All roads were swept by a sweeper rented for the year. The State completed Great Western Rd. and the Highway Department loamed the roadsides and had curbings installed at both approaches. Respectfully submitted, James C. Marsh, Highway Surveyor REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT To the Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : January 13, 1966 The following is the Annual Report of the Fire Depart- ment ,for the year 1965 : Number of Alarms 303 Alarms for Fires Residential 59 Non -Residential Assembly 4 Mercantile 4 Manufacturing 6 Grass & Brush 61 All other fires 29 Alarms for Non -Fires False 0 Smoke scares, honest mistakes, etc. 74 Emergency calls, investigations 61 Mutual Aid Calls to other Towns 5 Response by stations for alarms within their assigned area Headquarters Station 2 Station 3 Alarms 69 35 47 Still Alarms 78 45 29 66 Fires by Causes Careless smoking 12 Children with matches 12 Misuse of electric appliances 2 Furnaces, stoves, or heating apparatus 16 Machinery or equipment 4 Permits out of control 3 Careless disposal of burning materials 13 Cooking 8 Chimneys 2 Lighting 4 Malicious intent 4 Undetermined or investigation pending 6 Miscellaneous 77 Value of buildings and contents involved by fire $1,460,715.00 Loss of buildings and contents covered by insurance 65,611.39 Acres of woodlands burned by fire 11 Fatalities 0 Radio calls recorded 6,752 Fire permits issued 1,284 Violations (burning without permit) 40 Inspections of oil burners 273 Gasoline storage inspections 8 Besides responding to 303 alarms during the year the department has conducted 34 drills under the direction of the drillmaster and station officers for the purpose of training in new methods of operation and for general review. The use of 3" hose with 21/2" couplings started early in 1965 has been an improvement in the method of water supply to the engines at a fire. Not only does this provide flexibility but also allows the placing of the engines at the fire area instead of commit- ting the first due engine company to a hydrant for supply pumping. It is my intention to expand this system this year with further purchases of 3" hose and with it provide the option of single company operation in event of need during extreme or disaster conditions. The Bureau of Fire Prevention has been very active this year covering inspections and investigations required by law. Without going into a breakdown in detail the number of in- spections of all types numbered 453 requiring a total of 3731/2 man hours. I feel that Fire Prevention under the Bu- reau has made good progress and as time and manpower allow will continue to improve. In the interest of fire prevention, 67 this department has worked with the building inspector to try to improve the Town code covering the construction of chimneys and fireplaces. With the help of Donald D. Grayson and Joseph R. Carapezza we have prepared a revision for consideration at Town Meeting in March. It is my hope that this revision will be accepted as it is in the public interest to require minmum standards as are found in the National Build- ing Code and National Fire Codes. On April 20, 1965 there was issued by the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association a Promulgation Protection Classification for Dwelling Minimum Rates Grade "C". This makes us now a 5 "C" Town as against being 8 "D" before and was determined as a result of a survey I had requested in October of 1963 by the Rating Association to determine the fire defenses of the Town of Yarmouth. The Grading Schedule is a means of classifying municipalities with reference to their fire defenses and physical conditions. From a study of perti- nent conditions and performance records extending over many years, certain standards have been developed ; these are set forth in the Schedule, and the various features of fire defense in the municipality under consideration are compared with them. For each deviation from these standards, deficiency points are assigned, the number depending upon the impor- tance of the item and the degree of deviation. The natural and structural features that increase the general hazard, and the lack or inadequacy of laws or of their enforcement for the control of unsatisfactory conditions, are graded in the same way. The total number of deficiency points charged against the municipality determines its relative classification. The relative values and maximum deficiency points are as follows : Water Supply - 34% - 1,700 points ; Fire Depart- ment - 30% - 1,500 points Fire Alarm - 11% - 550 points ; Fire Prevention - 7% - 350 points ; Building Department - % - 200 points ; Structural Condition - 14% - 700 points. It is because the departments named above are in good shape on the average that we were able to realize the change in Grade. Recommendations have been forwarded to improve our standing and each department involved will work to- wards reaching these standards. As a result of the change the Town has made a savings on Town -owned buildings excepting the Regional High School of $8,000 refunded on premiums paid in 1965. It has ben estimated that the average homeown- er carrying over $12,000 insurance has gained a saving of ap- proximately 10%. Delivery of a new 1000 gallon pumping engine being 68 built by the Maxim Motor Division of Middleboro, Massa- chusetts is expected this coming February. This unit will be assigned to station #3 in West Yarmouth and will improve the fire defense in that area replacing a 1943 military vehicle. Next year I propose to request replacement of the 1962 Fire Chief's car. The following year I will request replacement of a 1940 engine assigned to station #2. It is expected this re- placement will cost in the vicinity of $15,000. If the apparatus replacement program can be followed as scheduled the next unit to be replaced will be a 1943 unit at an estimated cost of approximately $28,000. Using the Stabilization Fund as a sort of lay -away plan to prepare for these expenditures each time has been found to be the best method to minimize the impact on the tax rate. It is my hope that this process can be con- tinued. I wish to acknowledge the co-operation given this depart- ment by the residents of the Town and by the various de- partments of the Town with sincere appreciation. To the offi- cers and men of the fire department I extend my thanks for their support and efforts. I also wish to thank the Fire Belles, our ladies auxiliary, for their interests. Respectfully Submitted, Dana H. Whittemore Chief, Fire Department REPORT OF CONSERVATION COMMISSION As each year passes and more progress in conservation is made, the responsibilities and work of the commission in- creases. This is very evident by the amount and character of the work performed in our meetings and inn the field. Many of our projects are successful only through patient, persistent efforts that have taken years to complete. This year trails were made through the Otis land on the south side of Dennis Pond. The trail leads through fascinating woods and back along the edge of the pond. Notice especially the different types of stones between the water and the up- land. Conservation land along Thacher Shore Road has been improved by grading and seeding, providing a convenient place to stop to look at the beautiful marsh with Sandy Neck in the background. This year our major land acquisition was the thirty- two acre parcel adjoining the nnorth side of Horse Pond. With 69 the twelve acre parcel which was purchased two years ago, this gives the inhabitants of the town an undivided forty-four acre parcel. Later, trails will be made and identified, so this area may be used and enjoyed. We have received a gift of six acres of land on the west side of the West Yarmouth Road. This adjoins a parcel of sixteen acres, previously acquired. So much of our time was required for research, negotia- tionns, land acquisition, trail making, land improvement, sign making, etc., that a committee was created to care for the herring runn in South Yarmouth. Eugene Homer, Richard Robsham and Morris Johnson had more than the usual prob- lems, due to the dry weather and lack of water. The Cape Cod Salties volunteered help in clearing the run of sand andn other debris. The white cedar swamp continues to be fascinating to everyone who can find time to explore its trails. Several other important projects which will be of great interest to you have every indication of being successful. All information will be given to you at the proper time. During the summer we hope that we will be in a position to produce a map that will show you the location of all con- servation lands. It is our intention to make these lands. accessible and known to you so that you will be able to use and enjoy them. We appreciate and value highly the support that we have received from all the residents of the town. It gives us the strength and desire to do our best to make Yarmouth a better place in which to live. David Barry Thomas N. Embler (Secretary) Loren C. Petry Raymond S.

Beauregard Executive Director REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES FOR THE YEAR 1965 District Board : Victor Adams, Barnstable, Chairman Kirkwood Brown, Dennis H. Raymond Darling, Yarmouth A. John MacQuade, Sandwich Leo C. Sweeney, Mashpee Gentlemen: Submitted, herewith, is the report of the activities of your District Department of Veterans' Services - Town of Yarmouth. This is my seventh report to you as Veterans' Agent and Director of Veterans' Services. During that time this Depart- ment has added two more towns to its District; namely, the towns of Sandwich and Mashpee. This enlarged District com- prises around 147 square miles. The past year this Department spent the sum of $19,923.65 for Veterans' Benefits to aid and assist NEEDY veterans and 71 their dependents. This assistance is approved and supervised by the Commissioner of Veterans' Services of the Common- wealth of Massachusetts and 50% is reimbursed to our town. A great amount of my time and effort is also given to assist any veteran with any problem that he or she may have with the Veterans' Administration. I also try to assist a veteran in seeking employment so that he can support his family. Without the splendid support and cooperation of many of our local service and charitable organizations, my task would be much greater, and I wish to thank all of them for their assistance. This Department also wishes to thank the Board of Se- lectmen and the various Town Departments for their splendid cooperation the past year. Your Obedient Servant, Charles H. Cross Director and Agent REPORT OF THE RECREATION ACTIVITIES COMMISSION Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : It is with pleasure that we submit our second annual report to the Town. This year the West Yarmouth Community and Youth Center came into being in the old library building on Lewis Road, West Yarmouth. Through the efforts of the D -Y Jaycees the building was refurbished and is being kept open weekends for use of the community's youth as a recrea- tion center under adult supervision. Credit goes to the D -Y Jaycees and their Youth Center Chairman, Mr. Albert Howes. Any person or organization that wishes to lend assistance to a fine program for our teenage population will be welcomed by contacting the D -Y Jaycees or your Recreation Activities Com- mission. The active use of the facilities is evidence of the need. The Commission sponsored a golf clinic for boys last fall at the Blue Rock Golf Course with the cooperation of Mr. Karl Warnick, the resident pro. Lessons were given each Sat- urday morning for one hour for four weeks at no cost to about 20 boys between the ages of 13 to 15. _We are indebted to Mr. Warnick for his time and to the Davenports for the free use of the course facilities. 72 This year the Yarmouth Little League enjoyed another successful season under the guidance of Mr. Warren Geoffrion and his many able assistants. The Yarmouth Babe Ruth League was formed and played a full schedule at the D -Y Regional field with four teams of boys from 13 to 15 years old. Mr. Rob- ert Bolduc and his organization were responsible for this fine beginning. The hockey program this year will include only the Pee Wee and Bantam League teams as the D -Y Regional High School has taken over officially the high school hockey program. Pop Warner Football League gathers strength each year and provides a much enjoyed activity during the fall sea- sons for boys in their age group. Mr. Vincent Govoni and his staff do an exceptional job with this program. The Yarmouth "Indian" Town Team is greatly reorganized this year with a solid steering committee of 11 members who are working to- wards a substantially better organization. The managership for the 1966 season has been accepted by Merrill 'Red" Wil- son and, under his able leadership, we are looking forward to .a strong showing in the Cape League this summer which should warrant spectator support and provide fine entertain- ment for those who enjoy watching the best in baseball. Your Recreation Activities Commission backs the Town baseball organization 100% and believes it has the possibility of being one of the finer spectator sports entertainment that Yarmouth provides for residents and visitors alike. We urge the townspeople's participation, financial help and spectator support of all the above programs. Respectfully submitted, Richard K.

I hereby submit the report of the Inspector of Gas Piping and Gas Appliances for the year ending December 31, 1965. During the past year I received 606 applications for gas instsallations and/or alterations. 659 inspections were made during the year, several of which were second trips to check on corrections of the original installations and the rest were backlog from 1964, cases where homes were not open. I would like to take this opportunity to again thank the personnel of the Yarmouth Town Office, the Yarmouth Fire Department, and the gas installers working in the town for the excellent cooperation that I have received during the past year. Respectfully Submitted Charles A. Van Dusen Inspector of Gas Piping and Gas Appliances. 76 ASSESSORS REPORT -- 1965 It gives us great pleasure to submit to you, the Tax- payers, our report for the year 1965. We have received a new census report and our popula- tion has increased from 5501 in 1960 to 8715 year round resi- dents, an increase of nearly 60% in this short five year period. This tremendous growth is naturally reflected in the cost of operation of all department, as it definitely costs money to grow. We were pleased to have been able the reduce the Tax Rate by $15.00 to the new rate of $52.00. This was made pos- sible by the heavy building program in Town, plus being able to use the credits of surplus revenue in the Treasury. We feel that it is necessary to update our Department with modern machinery in order to speed up the billing of taxes and getting tax money into the Treasury so that the need for borrowing is not so great. We will appreciate your support at Town Meeting for the purchase of this new equip- ment. The second try for equalization was lost at the special Town Meeting. We, the Assessors, believe that this should be done by an outside concern, but we do not want the voters to feel that we are forcing the issue. It is inevitible and when the Town does have this service performed we feel that all assessments will be fair and proper.

Marchant Henry R. Darling John G. Sears Board of Assessors 80 TO THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE - ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR 1965 I believe the time has come to acquaint the taxpayers of Yarmouth as to some of the complexities of their Welfare Department and the type of work that is required of this de- partment by the Federal and State Government in relation to social services to all recipients of welfare. Most people ap- parently have the idea that one applies for aid and this de- partment just starts paying out money. The process of investigation to establish eligibility for any categorical type of assistance is long and exacting, usually taking two to three weeks in order to verify all factors re- quired. After eligibility is established, the amount of money a recipient receives is based on a budget item cost schedule established by the State and not by the town or this depart- ment. Certain minimums must be met based on the living conditions and the number of persons in a family. To this basic budget is added an additional 36% allowance which is determined by the increase in the cost of living index. Old Age Assistance and Disability Assistance recipients receive extra amounts for Leisure Time Activities and Travel Allow- ances as voted by the General Court. Deducted from these budgets is income received by recipients from Social Security (OASDI), pensions, veterans allowances and a percentage of wages earned. Within ninety days after establishing eligibility, a social study must be undertaken and a written report completed and incorporated in the records on the following : 1. Living Con- ditions, 2. Home Management, 3. Protection of Adults, 4. Health Care, 5. Self Care, 6. Potential for self-support, 7. Social relationships, 8. Plans for the future, and how changes can be made for the recipient's benefit. From this study we then determine whether the recipient is a "service case" needing additional service and attention over and above required reinvestigations or a "non -service" case. If the above study determines client is a service case, under the Old Age Assistance and Disability Assistance cate- gories we concentrate on three basic factors : 1. The need of protection, 2. Whether client should remain in or return to his own home or community and 3. The possibility of client being self-supporting and how to assist him to re-establish himself. If the category is Aid To Families With Dependent Chil- 81 dren •(AFDC), several problem areas shown by the social study will be identified and these generally fall into one of the following 8 categories : 1., Unmarried parenthood, 2. De- sertion, 3. Self-support of adult or older child, 4. Child (ren) in need of protection, 5. Child (ren) with special problems, 6. Serious problems in family functioning, 7. Absence other than desertion, 8. Money management. From the above we establish the objective services to be given to the defined cases. These services usually are one or more of the following problems that must be given as much attention as possible : a. Education or vocational training, b. Health care, c. Improved financial functioning, d. Main- taining family life and improving family functioning, e. Main- taining or improving social relationships, and participation in community life, f. Maintaining home, g. Protection of chil- dren, h. Protective service for adults, i. Returning persons to home or community from institutional care, j. Self-care ser- vices, k. Self-support services, 1. Other. With only one social worker to handle about 152 cases, it is impossible to give all the services that we know are need- ed ; therefore another social worker will help this department to more efficiently give the above services required by the State and Federal Government. Approval for a second social worker has been given by the State Department. Reimburse- ment from Federal and State for administrative expenditures is based on the services completed, and the number of calls made. Several changes in the rules, regulations and rates were effected this year which added to the incnrease in costs of welfare. The major ones follow : 1. January 1, 1966 all hos- pital rates increased (Cape Cod Hospital from $30.07 to $33.67 per day), 2. Certain nursing home rates were increased, 3. Revised and increased fees for Chiropodists, Podiatrists, Physical Therapists, Ambulance rates and Visiting Nurses, 4. Leisure Time Activities allowance in Old Age Assistance was increased from $6.00 to $11.50 on 11/1/65, 5. Employed per- sons now must be allowed to retain an amount, as available, up to $15.00 a week for additional food, clothing and personal care. NOTE : As of 10/1/65, a Public Welfare Worker must have received a Bachelor's Degree from an accredited insti- tution of higher education for appointment or promotion to local social work positions. It is expected that rates for hospitals, nursing homes and rest homes will increase in 1966 and there will possibly be a 3% addition to the present 36% cost of living increase to the 82 basic budget. These will all add to costs of assistance next. year. LIENS There were six recoveries from liens this year totalling $9,288.54 which amount was divided proportionally between Federal, State and Town. The amount of assistance granted in these cases was $45,406.62. There are 19 liens outstanding as of 1/1/66. BREAKDOWN OF WELFARE COSTS The average case load increased from 130 in 1964 to 144 in 1965 with the re- cipient count as of 1/1/66 - 156. This increase reflects the phenominal growth of the Town of Yarmouth in. the last five years, having the second fastest population increase of any community in the State of 58%. The total expenditure for assistance including administration was $283,092.33, an in- crease over 1964 of $38,330.93. The town's share of this am- ount was $69,817.04. The percentage of the town cost for assistance, 23.5%, is within approximately one percent of the State average. OLD AGE ASSISTANCE The year 1965 saw a decline in. the average number of O.A.A. cases from 58 in 1964 to 51 in 1965. Five recipients moved and their cases were transferred to other towns, five went to nursing homes and were transfer- red to Medical Assistance For the Aged (M.A.A.), six cases were closed (three by death and three for other reasons). Average monthly case load for year 1965 51 Number of active cases - 1/1/66 52 Number of applications received 21 Number of applications approved 20 Number of applications denied 1 Number cases closed 16 Number cases transferred to M.A.A. 5 Total Investigations and Service Calls Reported 215 Total direct cash payments $45,633.10 Total indirect vendor medical payments 1168.24 Total payments in O.A.A. $57,401.34 REIMBURSEMENTS Federal $31,887.89 State 18,107.75 $49,995.64 49,995.64 Net cost to town $ 7,405.70 Per Cent of town cost to total 12.9% 83 Total payments for 1965 - $57,401.34 Total payments for 1964 - 65,558.36 Decrease in 1965 - 8,157.02 MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE AGED There has been a steady increase in the case load for M.A.A. and I expect this increase to continue this year even though Medicare will take effect on July 1, 1966. The average number of recipients in 1964 was 30 and in 1965, 41, with an increase in costs from $63,987.07 to $80,481.12.

We re- ceived 48 applications that had to be processed, 6 were denied and 42 were approved, of these 23 3were new cases, 10 re- instated and 15 transferred from other towns. Many service calls were made on A.F.D.C. but we were not able to give complete service as we would like to have done because of the large case load and required quarterly reinvestigations.

Many of these clients were off and on several times for temporary relief such as food slips, assistance on rent, gas, light or hospital bills. Cash grants were given to only 4 of the above. Two families with several children who were not eligible for A.F.D.C. for the first six months of the year because they had not been in the state for one year prior to application, accounted for $2,817.24 of the $3,366.24 cash given.

' Staples, Director REPORT OF POLICE DEPARTMENT January 10, 1966 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth Submitted herewith are the Report of Activities and Re- port of Arrests of the Police Department for the year 1965. Again in 1965 as in 1964 these reports show an increase in arrests and violations, both adult and juvenile, which in its small way follows the national crime picture. This must, in some degree, follow the increases in both the population of the town since 1960 and also the increase in building and, of the summer population. With more through ways being opened to the motoring public annually, making it much easier and quicker to get from the cities to this area increases must be expected in every way, such as population, building, and with them an increase in the amount of crime taking place. The only hope we have for curbing the increase in crime is the addition of sufficient manpower to offset the increases. This I have requested in the 1966 budget for the Department. I sincerely hope that the citizens of the town will realize the need for the additional manpower and support our request. I would like to extend the thanks and appreciation of the Police Department to all other Town Departments for their assistance and co-operation during the past year of 1965. Our sincere appreciation goes to the citizens of the Town for their co-operation and support through the years. Respectfully, H. J. Jason, Chief of Police.

During the year a total of 657 Building Permits, for con- struction estimated to cost $6,642,724, were issued from this office. These permits include all new dwellings, commercial buildings, garages, accessory buildings and alterations. Fees collected and paid to the Town Treasurer from building permits were $3,508. Respectfully submitted, Alexander Catto Building Inspector REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT January 1, 1966 TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF YARMOUUTH There were thirteen road layouts prepared for Town Meeting, which were all accepted and constructed during the construction season of 1965. Camp Street was one of the major roads that was constructed during the year, representing a substantial improvement over the surface that existed there before. The department prepared plans for the Traffic Commit- tee studying the future needs of the Town for major connect- ing roads in various areas in the Town. A total of 20 extra night meetings with the Plannng Board were attended in conjunction with the Zoning Studies of the Town Planning Program now being carried forward by that Board, Other duties continue to increase as building and development increase, which has required the expansion of the department to a total of three men. Respectfully submitted John L. Newton Engineering Department 94 REPORT OF THE • TRUST FUND COMMISSION TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN IN AND FOR THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH : No changes in investments have been made in the various trust funds for the Town, your Commission feeling that they are properly invested at the present time. We finally accomplished our work in having various trust funds' accumulated income turned over to the proper beneficiaries, the schools of the Town of Yarmouth. Respectfully submitted, A. Harold Castonguay, Chairman Yarmouth Trust Fund Commission REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT January 1, 1966 TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH The Park Commission wish to thank the Taxpayers and Year Round Residents for their support of the Beach Sticker Program. Report of the Resident One week Two weeks Seasonal Transient Sticker Sales for 1965: 3,214 @ $1.00 each 5,688 @ 4.00 each 1,312 @ 8.00 each 96 @ 10.00 each 10,993 @ 1.00 each for a total income of $22,167. The Cost of the Sticker Program for printing, booths, booth attendants, fencing at Sea Gull Beach and Police Offi- cers at both beaches was $4,480. which we have reduced to $3,500 for 1966. There is no question in our minds that the use of Beach Stickers helped to prevent over crowding. Some of our south shore Beaches are disappearing fast due to erosion. The jetties have settled and must in the near future be rebuilt if we are to save our sea walls and beaches, which we feel are a big asset to our Town. Respectfully submitted, Edward A.

Nickerson, Sealer REPORT OF THE DOG OFFICER Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass. TO: Office of the Selectmen Dear Sirs : As requested, I respectfully submit the following report, on the office of Dog Officer for the Town of Yarmouth. 1. Number of, Dogs Lic. at this time for 1985 1027 (The number of Lic. dogs for 1964 at this time 911 for the year 1963 the total at this time was 823 2. Received a total of 381 dog complaints, as opposed to a total of 297 for 1964. 3. A total of 197 dogs transported to dog pound for various reasons such as, running loose, unlic. strays and causing traffic problems. 4. A total to date of 67 dog bites. 5. A total of 17 Ambulance trips to dog pound due to in- jured animals. 6. A total of 14 dogs destroyed by this officer. With regard to the 1965 Dog officer's report I feel there is an urgent need to consider the following recommendations. 1. That the Leash Law be enforced for the entire 12 months of each year. 97 1 J f f. 2. That the Dept. of Dog Officer ber;covered its own budget, for a yearly total of $5050.00. This sum would cover yearly Salary, Auto expense, and dog pound expense. 3. I should like to bring to your attention in the dog officer's report again this year, the marked increase in Lic. Dog complaints and as well the added fact that to the above lic. dogs you could easily add 50-100 more dogs which as yet have not been lic. When you compare this total to the total population of the town, the percentage is very impressive. , 4. That very serious consideration be given to the request for the Hypo .Capture gun. The information regarding this weapon already has been left at your office. 5. I should like also to ,point out at this time one other fac- tor, the complete lack of any complaints up till this time on dog packs. I believe that this is mostly due to the fact that we have left, the dog law on for longer periods of time than some of the other towns that have had this problem. There is a very positive connection between these facts. 6. That during the time of year covered by the present dog law, the lack of accidents Motor Veh. as well as other type caused directly or indirectly by dogs and also the increase of those type accidents during the time of year that the law on dogs is not enforced. This one fact alone makes the whole thing worth while in my opinion. I should again like to point out that under Gen. Law Chap. 140 it is within the power of the Selectmen to state the period of time that the restraint law shall be enforced. This is covered in Section 167. I would be eager at any time so requested to bring the full facts on any of the above before your group or any other group interested at any time. This report submitted for your approval by, Charles P. Ward Dog Officer, Town of Yarmouth WATER DEPARTMENT REPORT The ,Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the ,year 1965. Present number of active services 5179 New services installed 414 Gallons of water pumped 387,103,621 98 1965 was a memorable year for the Water Department in two 'respects. 'At the instigation of Chief Dana Whittemore of the Fixe Department, the New England Fire Rating Association com- pleted its report of a survey started in 1964 and based on the report of, the Association, homeowners in most areas of the town received a 10% decrease in fire insurance premiums. Chief Whittemore is to be congratulated on his initiative in promoting the survey and the townspeople are to be con- gratulated for providing funds in years past which permitted bothh the Fire and Water Departments to increase their ef- ficiency and standards to a point which resulted in a sub- stantial dividend in the form of decreased fire insurance rates. Conservatively speaking, the decrease in fire insurance rates could mean a yearly savings of $25,000.00 to our homeowners. An important milestone was reached by the Water De- partment in 1965 when revenue passed the one-quarter of a million dollar mark. At this writing it looks as if water revenue for the year will be in the vicinity of $265,000 - $270,000, an increase over 1964 of about $85,000. The large increase in water revenue is, of course, the result of increased water rates reflected over a full year. The Commissioners are cognizant of the fact that some resistance and grumbling developed as a result of the increase in water rates but feel the move was justified for these rea- sons: 1) The increased water rates will impress upon the con- sumer that good water, which is becoming a precious com- modity, should no longer be wasted in the manner of previous years. The increased rates will encourage the consumer to practice water conservation or face the probability of a Iarge water bill. 2) The new rates will result in bringing the Department closer to fiscal self-sufficiency although this may still be some years away. The Commissioners feel that in spite of an ever- increasing demand for water services and in the face of sharply rising material and labor costs, the taxpayer in 1966 will spend $1.00 less in taxes for each $1000.00 of valuation toward the support of the Water Department. Along with you, we look forward to that happy day when the Department will be fiscally self-sufficient and will represent no burden to the taxpayer whatsoever. Another matter which should be brought to your atten- tion concerns the acquisition of land in the Plashes area for a future wellfield. The people gave us the go-ahead at the 99 last Annual Town Meeting to proceed with the acquisition, but we must report rather slow progress. Titles to the lands to be acquired had to be searched and proper ownership es- tablished. As of this date, ownership of five parcels of land has been definitely established and offers have been tender- ed to them. Ownership of some parcels to be acquired could not be established and these parcels will have to be taken by eminent domain. We sincerely hope that negotiation with owners of record will have progressed to the point that we will be in a position to ask you to provide funds, at the An- nual Town Meeting, to acquire these parcels. Plans presented to the Department by developers wish- ing to install town water in their sub -divisions in 1966 indicate that there will be a need for some $75,000.00 to satisfy the cost of the Town's share of the work. With the consent of the people it has been and still is the policy of the. Water De- partment to pay for the cost of installation and the developer to pay for the cost of pipe used to provide town water to private developments. The water mains installed under this policy become the sole property of the Town and for this . reason we believe this policy to be fair and equitable and in the public interest. The storage building for which appropriations were made in 1964 and 1965 was completed in 1965 at a cost less than the $9000.00 allotted to us for this purpose. The few hundred dollars remaining in this appropriation was used to purchase additional meter storage racks for the new building. This new building will hopefully solve our storage problems for some time. Office space in the pumping station is becoming very restricted and next year we will probably have to ask for funds to remodel the pumping station to provide a meeting room for the Commissioners, a room in which we can meet with the general public for the conduct of our weekly busi- nesss. Removal of the Commissioners office space from the existing one room available will provide additional office space for our growing clerical needs. Mr. Louis Parks, Clerk, Mr. Haskell White, Assistant Superintendent, and Mr. Donald Cash, Plant Supervisor, re- signed from the Department during the year and were re- placed by Mrs. Helen Clemence, Mr. Stephen Reed, and Mr. Bradford Gibbs respectively. Mr. Gibbs had been on military leave. Mrr. Maurice Robbins entered our employment in the fall. Before closing this report, we wish to note that, in spite of a precedent -shattering drought of epic proportions, your 100 Water Department was able to supply the public with all the water that they needed without restrictions. With nearly 100 communities in the state being placed on emergency restric- tions, it was gratifying for us to be able to say "use all the water you want but please do not waste it". You, the tax- payers and voters of Yarmouth, are to be commended for providing the funds, when needed, which have made our water system a good, sound, well integrated public service, and one of which you may well be proud.

When the work is completed we feel that the Library will be decidedly more functional for the borrowers and the employees. Mr. Nils Hydren is the President of the Friends organiza- tion. The average attendance is 70. The Program committee, of which Mr. Fred Winters is Chairman, has presented inter- esting and informative programs. During National Library Week, Mrs. Paul Stewart was chairman of a coffee hour and a' food sale. This was a most rewarding benefit. We plan to make this an annual event. In addition to the always successful food sale, the mem- bers of the Ways and Means committee have suggested a series of parties to be held in private homes for the benefit of the Library. Thus far the financial gains have been most satisfactory. We are looking forward to our Centennial celebration to be observed in the summer of 1966. A committee, consist- ing of the Trustees and three members of the Friends, is working out the details. We'hope'that everyone in the Town will help us to celebrate one hundred years of continued service. Mrs. Arthur Smith joined us this year filling the vacancy caused by the death of Janice Jalicki. Mrs. Smith is capable, friendly and efficient. The borrowers, the Trustees and the Librarian feel very fortunate to have Mrs. Smith assist. We thank the members of the Board of Selectmen, the members of the Finance committee and the taxpayers for their interest and support. Respectfully submitted, Martha U.

January 17, 1966 REPORT OF THE SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION January 1966 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Efforts were directed toward increasing the quality and usefulness of the book and periodical collections. The following 102 statisetics show present holdings, and circulation figures which indicate increasing demand on library resources : VOLUMES 11,345 ' December 1964 611 Added, 1965 11,956 84 Lost & Withdrawn 11,872 Total CIRCULATION 27,784 NUMBER OF DAYS OPEN 256 NEW MEMBERS 423 I am glad to have this opportunity to express my appre- ciation and thanks to our Library Board and Mrs. Maxtone- Graham, Chairman, whose dedication to the Library never flags, to the Town officials.for their cooperation and support, and to our patrons for keeping us on our toes. During my absence in the summer Mrs. Virginia Osborn shouldered responsibility for the Library with fortitude ; her experience' and reliability are valued assets. Debbie Taylor is our new Page ; she shows aptitude for the work and takes pride in learning and doing well the many tasks that are part of library service. Respectfully submitted, Frances Rousseff, Librarian WEST YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND CITIZENS WEST YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Gentlemen : During 1965 the West Yarmouth Library occupied its new building donated by Mr. and Mrs. A. Harold Castonguay in memory of their daughter Ann. We experienced little or no disruption during the transition period. The Key and Code Clubs of the High School moved our books with the assistance of our available trustees. , Our building was beautifully furnished through the over- whelming response to our appeal. Approximately $3,000.00 was received ranging in donations from $500.00 to a' few pennies. Separate individual doinations of furniture and mis- cellaneous items were also received. On April 11, 1965 we had Open House attended by some ,.., I r . 103 600 people. We have received many donations of books, about 1,500, which have helped us to maintain our present budget. Many of these books are already on the shelves. Our new facilities have attracted many summer visitors, consequently our circulation during these months amounted to 300 to 400 books each day. We have over 525 new library card holders and our association memberships have doubled. A special vote of thanks should go to Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Silvia and Mrs. Joseph Walker for keeping our picture win- dow so colorful and attractive. Mrs. Lee Wetjen who has given so much of her time in volunteer work at the library every afternoon for many months. Once again we thank the selectmen and taxpayers for their continued interest and understanding. Respectfully Submitted Eleanor E. Finn, Librarian West Yarmouth Library Association REPORT OF TREE WARDEN To The Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : During 1965 under the Shade Tree Program ninety-two (92) requests were received for shade trees, and one hundred twelve (112) were planted through the town. A few of these were replacements of trees that had been winter -killed, and many were from a waiting list of the previous year. During the year many of the Town Trees were fertilized and watered several times during the severe drouth. The public utility companies have again hired Barnes Tree Service to come into the town and prune the trees away from the wires. This is done approximately every four years. INSECT PEST CONTROL In 1965 there were several areas in the town infested with tent caterpillar. The Englewood Section seemed to be most havily infested, as they thrive on the wild Beach Plum and Wild Cherry trees. A few spot were found on the North side and one section in South Yarmouth around Indian Memorial Drive. All of these sections were immediately sprayed with insecticides recommended by The Departmnt of Agriculture to destroy the pest. At the end of 1965 we still have not found any trace of 104 the Gypsy Moth in the Town of Yarmouth and I am hopeful that we will continue to be free of it. Roadside spraying for poison ivy was done in July and August again this year throughout the town. Roadside spray- ing for summer insects was done during June, July and August. DUTCH ELM DISEASE CONTROL Dormant spraying of the Elm trees was done during the month of April by helicopter. Fifteen samples of questionable Elms were taken this past year, however, laboratory tests showed only three were Dutch Elm disease and the other twelve had defoliated early due to the prolonged drouth. The diseased trees were removed immediately upon learning the results of the tests. I attended a class in Waltham this past year, sponsored by the Shell Oil Company on the new discovery Bidrin the latest material introduced to control Dutch Elm Disease. It is still in the experimental stage, however and not recom- mended for use, until all experiments are completed at the Shade Tree Laboratories, and the results sent to the local Superintendents of Pest Control. Jon L. Holmes Tree Warden REPORT OF THE CAPE COD PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION The Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commission has completed its first year and is now ambitious- ly embarked on a full year of work that may herald the start of systematized planning and development of Cape Cod. Comprising members and alternate members from each of the 15 Cape Cod towns and including the three county commissioners, the planning organization has made progress toward a goal of integrated planning and development of Cape communities and their resources. Although held up by a delay in the State Legislature in approving county budgets, the commission finally has begun the job. Its first major step was to hire the Boston University Area Development Organization to make a study of Cape needs and goals, and prepare guidelines that the commission with 105 co-operation of the various towns would be able to implement on Cape' Cod. The study is being made in close association with the various town planning boards and with the commission, aimed at getting a concensus of what are the chief problems and needs and in what ways they may be approached. What is to evolve from this, it is hoped, is a plan that is not just an impossible ideal, but a realistic and attainable program of development. The guidelines, once set up and agreed to, then would serve as the basis on which the county planning and economic development commission would operate. When such guidelines are readied, a full-time adminis- trator may be hired to work with the various communities to put these proposals into operation. The whole spectrum of Cape needs are to be examined zoning, beaches, camps, water supply, sewage disposal, trash disposal, historic zoning, transportation, industrial de- velopment, waterways and the resort industry in general. No quick and pat solutions are being sought and none are expected. There is no anticipation that a guardian angel in Washington or on Beacon Hill is going to provide the solu- tion and/or the money to meet the Cape's needs. Rather is has been felt that the Cape can meet and solve its own problems if given the chance. The planning commis- sion is hoped to be that chance. Members of the commission are aware of a number of problems, not the least of which is the jealous guarding of local autonomy of each town. No town wants to give that up, it has been found, and commission members were in agree- ment that no effort is to be made in that direction. In fact, under the law that set up the commission, it can only advise . . . it can not require any action. Its goal is to present a lucid and forceful enough case to win support from local officials. The same self-interest was evident when the first meet- ings of the new commission were held starting in June of 1965. It was obvious to members that the Lower Cape delegates were leery of the Mid -Cape larger towns, while the Upper Cape communities seemed to band together in their common locale and problems. All members now agree that after months of meetings, including a two-month' period when the members took weekly bus trips to tour each of the towns on'the Cape, the wariness 106 of one toward the other has all but disappeared. The bus trips are credited with breaking down much of this because they showed that the problems of the bigger towns were basically the same as those of the smaller com- munities, but only on a bigger scale. Additionally the trips enabled members to converse in- formally with others from other communities and did much to build friendships and confidence in one another, members agree. As a result the commission has entered into its first full year with high hopes and goals and confidence in attaining them. Already one proposal has resulted in close co-operative action. That is the proposal of the towns involved to `obtain the right-of-way of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad which the railroad has indicated it wants to abandon. Immediately affected are Dennis, Harwich,' Brewster, Orleans and Eastham, since the New Haven has indicated it is seeking court permission to abandon from South Dennis to Eastham. ' The town of Yarmouth has joined in this co-operative ef- fort because there are indications the next section to be aban- doned would be from Hyannis to South Dennis, through Yar- mouth. ' The towns involved are seeking the land for different purposes. Eastham, for example, wants to'use the roadbed for a new highway. Dennis has indicated it might want it for a bridle path, and others for future municipal use. Whatever the purpose, the towns did meet with the coun- ty commissioners and with the planning commission's legal counsel, Attorney Daniel Fern of Hyannis, and agreed to seek intervention with the Federal court in New Haven to rule favorably toward the town's requests. Additionally, the officials, including many of the select- men, agreed on a model article for town meeting warrants which seeks town meeting approval of obtaining the land if it becomes available and to authorize selectmen to call a special town meeting at the time it does become available to seek town vote to acquire it. In general the commission is looking forward to a future of work and progress. The unpaid members and delegates serve on appointment by selectmen and meet once a month, on the last Thursday of the month at 1 :30 p.m. at the com- mission's semi-permanent quarters in the Cape Cod Com- munity College in Hyannis. 107 The quarters are semi-permanent because when the new Cape college campus is built at Routes 132 and 6 in West Barnstable sometime in 1967 the planning commission is to have a permanent quarters there. The public is invited to attend commission meetings or to write in questions or anything else. This is a public body with a budget of up to $50,000 an- nually and supported by the county which, in turn, is sup- ported by assessments against the various towns in the coun- t'• The commission chairman is George L. Cross, Barnstable selectman. The commission was more than 10 years in coming. It had been proposed for years but never became a reality al- though some shaky steps were taken at various times only to have it fall. In 1965 after a great deal of discussion the bill for the enabling act was introduced in the Legislature, and referen- dum on establishing the commission was on the ballot at town election in 14 towns. Truro had it in the form of a resolution at town meeting. All towns voted for the commission except Barnstable where it lost by a narrow margin. The Legislature finally ap- proved the legislation establishing it, and the commission be- came a reality in June of 1965. Thomas Kelley, Delegate Milton Cole, Alternate 108 REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT - 1965 To the Board of Health, Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : I wish to submit this report of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1965. This department in cooperation with the Barnstable County Associated Board of Health, Barnstable District Medi- cal Society, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Vaccination Project has initiated a county -wide im- munization program against diseases for which reliable vac- cines are available. We are conducting an intensive educational program for the professionals and the community. We are recommending every family see their family doctor and get the necessary protection for each family member. There have been meet- ings for the professionals ; radio, newspaper publicity and dis- tribution of special educational materials through the schools and our local supermarkets for the community. Starting in September most all schools have offered the necessary and recommended booster immunizations to the entering fifth and tenth grade children. Some towns have offered tetanus im- munization to the adults. The next step is to get all the pre- school children adequately protected. The objective of the Barnstable County Immunization Committee is to make ade- quate immunization a part of each citizen's medical health supervision. In December, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has made available a limited supply of measles vac- cine for needy children from 9 months through 5 years. The vaccine is stored in the Barnstable County Health Depart- ment and can be requested by the Boards of Health, Boards of Welfare, and Well Child Clinics for their needy children. This department in cooperation with the Cape Cod Camp Fire Organization brought Dr. William Lynch, Boston, an authority on family education, to meet with parents. This was a highly successful conference attended by some 250 par- ents from all over the County. The coordinated effort of the Barnstable County Hos- pital, Barnstable County Public Health Association, Boards of Health, Public Health Nurses, and this department, has re - 109 suited in a successful and workable follow-up program in Tub- erculosis Control. I would be remiss not to share with you a concern for some outstanding needs : 1. The upgrading of salaries for all professional and office staff. The social worker vacancy has existed since August 1964 because of low salary. Qualified professional workers are in short supply and an adequate salary is an important requirement. 2. The need to interpret that the estimated population in- creases in Barnstable County will necessitate more qualified professional workers and properly trained and supervised aides in all phases of public health. 3. The need for extended preventive psychiatric services for children and a program for adults. Our adults must still travel to Boston for limited out-patient treatment. 4. The need for a social case work service for the family with social problems. 5. The need to prepare the community for the new medi- care program for the senior citizens. We have much to learn and it is difficult to predict how we shall be affected. November 15, 1965 Ruth Crocker Giovanazi resigned as Principal Clerk after 22 years and 4 months of devoted ser- vice. Personnel as of December 31, 1965 Mary Susich R.N., B.S., M.P.H.—County Health Officer Ruth Alvezi Junior Clerk and Stenographer Alice Dalzell Public Health Dental Hygienist Leo Decoteau B.A., R.S., Public Health Sanitarian Rita DeSiata Senior Clerk and Stenographer Esther G. Howes R.N., M.N., M.S. B.A.—Nursing Ed- ucation Director Gershen Rosenblum Ph.D.—Clinical Psychologist (part time) Richard Sturtevant B.S. R.S., M.Sc.—Public Health San- itarian Edward H. Tateosian B.S., R.S.—Public Health Sani- tarian ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION During 1965 the department continued the inspection of all eating and drinking establishments and carried out labora- tory tests in conjunction with the inspections. As predicted last year the number of eating establishments has increased 110 and the ,workl_load isr being felt by this department especially during, the summer months. The Cape along, with the rest of New England, felt the effects of the current drought. Several, instances occurred where private wells went dry, and wells adjacent to salt water bays became saline. In most cases wells were either relocated or driven deeper in order ,to obtain water. Public water sup- plies experienced a shortage but in the most critical cases it was due to inadequate pumping and storage facilities. With.the rapid growth of this resort area we are putting extreme demands on our national resources. Motels, sub- divisions, restaurants and other facilities are even increasing, all putting a demand on the land for water and sewage dis- posal. Boards of Health should become more and more active in the planning and control of this development in order to prevent future public health problems. Once again we urge all Towns to consider a well planned.land acquisition program for future water supply, sewage disposal and refuse disposal use. . Other activities in environmental sanitation included in- spection of Day Care Centers, Recreational Camps, Family Type, Camp, Grounds, shellfish areas, bathing beaches, and re- lated laboratory tests. NURSING SERVICE This year current, data on the qualifications and person- nel practices for public health; nurses in Barnstable County has been reviewed in line with the "Recommended Employ- ment Standards for Professional Nurses," a guide newly pub- lished by the Massachusetts Nurses Association. Proposed in- creases in salary scales and re -affirmation of their plans to employ qualified staff were made by two public health nurse agencies and help has been given to those agencies which have done cost studies. Intensive orientation as to the role of the school nurse was given to two newly employed nurses who had not had previous preparation or experience. Contact has been made with three of the School Superintendents and with selectmen from three towns, and letters sent to some others, with respect to the role of the public health nurse and the need for con- tinued growth and education. Instruction has been given to public health nurses in the management of salmonellosis and in tuberculosis nursing. As a co-chairman of the Nursing Services Directors Committee of ,Barnstable County, the planning and conducting of pro- grams for registered nurses and for licensed practical nurses 111 has centered on rehabilitation nursing and respiratory diseases. Through participation in Case Conferences, nurses in East- ham, Falmouth and Harwich are learning to strengthen their services and to work with other professional persons in com- plex family situations. Some direct services continue to be given to patients and their families. Applications, appointments, and transpor- tation arrangements, for the local clinic of the State Crippled Children's Program are handled. Many inquiries are received indicating the need for help from a social or health agency, situations are cleared with local agencies, and referrals made here and elsewhere. Home visits are made according to the need where there is no nursing service yet, such as in Brew- ster ; these visits might be for premature home evaluations and for epidemiological follow-up. A new responsibility this year has been to share in ap- proving the Day Care Services ; a part of this yearly inspection includes the evaluation of plans for handling illness and em- ergencies and the protection of children. It is easy to see that many activities which are related to nursing consume a great deal of time. The direct supervision of school and town nurses needs to be developed in a more organized manner with provisions for adequate planning and evaluating. This whole service is difficult to implement be- cause of lack of direct line authority. As a whole, the community needs to have a better under- standing of the functions of a public health nurse in com- munity health services. DENTAL HYGIENE SERVICE The year of 1965 was a busy one including both direct service and educational work. Due to the fast growing popu- lation of the schools, it was not possible to include quite as many of the towns in direct service. However, just as many children received the topical fluoride application as in the past years. The topical fluoride program was carried out in the towns of Orleans, Brewster, Chatham and Dennis. A tooth- brushing pilot study was done in Barnstable in conjunction with the State Division of Dental Health and the Forsyth Dental Center. This consisted of a concentrated tooth brush- ing effort on a selected group of children to improve tooth- brushing practices and oral hygiene standards. The results were very gratifying and indicated that proper toothbrushing R e rrt o ly l tylucation lowered the oral hygiene index con- TOWN CLERK & TREASURER 112 (SO.) YARMOUTH, MASS. siderably and might be one of the important methods of low- ering the high caries incidence in children; During the summer months, fluoride clinics were held in the towns of Orleans and Eastham for pre-school children who would be entering school in the fall. Well child Con- ferences were attended in Sandwich, Truro and Wellfleet. These clinics and conferences are important both from the educational standpoint and direct service. They offer the opportunity to contact the parent and to impress upon the parent the importance of the child visiting the dentist at an early age and the importance of good oral hygiene practices. Also during the summer months we participated in the pro- gram Head Start in the Barnstable School System. Dental Health Week, February 7 through the 13th was devoted to dental health education of the public. It included Radio interviews, newspaper articles, T.V. spot announce- ments and classroom and assembly programs. Much of this education was carried on through the year. In May of 1965, the hygienists on Cape Cod organized the Cape Cod District Hygienists' Association for the purpose of the following : to assist in promoting the art and science of dental hygiene, elevate and sustain the professional charac- ter and education of dental hygienists, promote mutual im- provement, disseminate knowledge of oral hygiene ; enlighten and direct public opinion in relation to oral hygiene and den- tal prophylaxis and to safeguard the common interest of the dental profession.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is again with pleasure that I herewith submit my an- nual report as principal of the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. The expanding school population in the Town of Yar- mouth continues to create a problem of classroom space both in the elementary and middle school areas. The Yarmouth School and Building Committees are aware of this growth, and plans are being formulated to solve the space needs. There has been considerable interest on the part of school administrators, teachers, and other educational officials in the curriculum being used in the Yarmouth Schools. Principals and teachers visiting for the purpose of observing and evaluating the system have been most kind in their commendation for work being accomplished. The maintenance of the school plants and grounds are generally taken for granted. Each year new requirements and changes confront people involved in this work. Observation of the grounds and buildings show that the custodial staffs in the three elementary schools are doing excellent jobs in this important area. Mr. Gregory Drake, vice-principal, is in charge of the John Simpkins School and directs the program for pupils in grades six through eight. He reports a decidedly satisfactory school year with many activities and events arranged to moti- vate pupils to greater educational endeavor. The South Yarmouth Elementary School, housing grades one through five, is under the supervision and direction of Mr. James Clarke, assistant principal. To quote Mr. Clarke, "Education has become a living, breathing maze of new ideas and techniques to do a better job." This forward look toward education with an excellent teaching staff combines to give the pupils within the school an excellent learning atmosphere. The West Yarmouth Elementary School and its curricul- um are directed by Miss Marguerite Small, assistant principal. Miss Small is enthusiastic about the system of grouping by ability levels as practiced in the Yarmouth School System and about the departmentalizing of its subjects in each of the grades. She is joined by the teaching staff in the belief that the program is providing an excellent school opportunity for each pupil. 146 National Education Week was observed by an open house in each of the schools. The school staffs should be congratulat- ed for the excellent educational displays and work presented, Parents and friends of the schools should be praised for the large attendance and interest in the educational program of their community. I thank my administrative assistants and the teaching,, custodial, cafeteria and secretarial staffs for their aid in per- forming the important tasks necessary, to promote the educa- tional needs and well-being of the pupils attending the Yar- mouth schools. To you, Mr. Kenyon, as Superintendent of Schools, and to the Yarmouth School Committee, I once again express my sin- cere appreciation for the aid and encouragement extended to me during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Osborne W. Bearse, Principal REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : In 1958, when an Elementary Supervisor was added to the administrative staff, one of the most important duties of the position was working with individual pupils and small groups. Now in 1965, with the increased enrollment, my time is en- tirely taken up with checking pupil levels, testing new stu- dents, supervising new teachers, studying new texts, review- ing the textbooks now in use, supervising the testing pro- gram, and many other things too numerous to mention. There is no time, since I am in Yarmouth only three days a week, to give help to the child who, because of absence, has fallen behind his classmates. This must be left to the classroom teacher who does the best she can with thirty or thirty-five other pupils. For some time it has been my feeling that help is needed in this area. The testing program for 1965 consisted of the following tests : S.R.A. Mental Ability Tests - Kindergarten Otis Tests of Mental Ability - Grades 3-8 Iowa Tests of Basic Skills - Grades 3-8 Gates Reading Tests - Grades 1-8 147 The Controlled Reading Machine has created an interest among parents. I have been asked so many questions about the machine and its use that I am devoting part of my annual report to answer these. Controlled Reading is that part of reading instruction in which educational instruments are used. The instrument we use is a modified film projector which exposes the printed matter through a moving slot at variable speeds. Speed of reading has been known to improve in this pro- gram, but this is not the most important factor. More impor- tant is the training the child receives in concentration. Because of the moving slot attention cannot be diverted and when concentration improves every part of the learning process be- comes easier. Eye regression, or going back over material -read is impossible because of the nature of the machine. One teacher made a study of her class before and after ,using the Controlled Reader. A reading test was given prior to :and following a six week's program. Some of the second test xesults are shown below. Pupil A showed a gain of 1 year 11 months Pupil B showed a gain of 1 year Pupil C showed a gain of 2 years 2 months Pupil D showed a gain of 5 months Pupil E showed no gain The fact that one out of a group of twenty-seven did not im- prove shows that nothing is infallible and that nothing works with everyone. Enough gain was made in concentration, eye regression, comprehension, and, because of these three, in speed of reading, to ascertain there is value in what we are doing. These skills cannot be left to chance but need to be developed in daily reading instruction. This program is designed to give the child a purpose for reading and to supply him with interesting and enriching ma- terials. I wish to extend my thanks to you Mr. Kenyon, to the School Committee, to Mr. Bearse, to the Assistant Principals, and to the teachers and other school personnel, for continued co-operation. Respectfully submitted, Ellen Gott, Supervisor of Elementary Education 148 REPORT OF ART SUPERVISOR, GRADES 1 through 4 Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : Some of the aims of the art curriculum are to help the student to : develop an acute awareness of his own surround- ings, develop appreciation for the artifacts produced by other cults, develop the capacity for esthetic consumership ; and, to introduce to the student methods of using art in such areas as industry, home, theater, architecture. With the exception of creative writing and music, art is, perhaps, the only other classroom vehicle that helps to de- velop the quality of the sense -organs. In order to accomplish the above goals, I suggest that each student be given the opportunity to participate in the art - studio at least one period per week rather than one period during alternate weeks. This would give the art teacher the opportunity to give each child closer and more individual guidance since help must be on an individual basis. Classes in grades 7 and 8 should be kept small since a "studio" or "work -shop" atmosphere is necessary beyond grade 6. This is due to the use of more advanced media. My time is presently divided between South Yarmouth, West Yarmouth, Dennis and Brewster - a total of forty-eight different groups of students. I wish to thank you, Mr. Kenyon, for the opportunity to submit this report, and my thanks to everyone concerned for their interest and support. Respectfully submitted, Doris M. Carter, Art Supervisor REPORT OF ART SUPERVISOR, GRADES 5 through 8 Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is my pleaseur to report to you at this time concerning the program and progress of the art department in grades five through eight. 149 The capabilities and interests of each age group have been considered in the planning of the art curriculum, so that each student would be completely absorbed in his work, and which would at the same time allow each student the freedom to make aesthetic decisions concerning the direction and out- come of his work. An art program, in part, must encourage young people to live within their age. Modern' life is con- cerned with an endless series of choices in dress, furnishings, home, industrial products, and even community development. We hope that today's students, as tomorrows' adults, will wisely shape their own selves as well as their environment. In this respect, it is hoped that an art program will develop in students a good design sense as well as an appreciation for, and understanding of, their cultural environment, so that as adults, they have the ability to choose wisely. Classroom work has been involved with a study of the basic visual relationships involving color theory, shape, tex- ture, line, structure and organization, in both two and three- dimensional work. Skill in handling tools and materials is de- veloped in order to foster an appreciation for a high standard of craftsmanship, which is an integral part of good design. Much emphasis is also being placed on all aspects of basic drawing skills. An awareness of and appreciation for our cul- tural heritage is being developed through the study of art and architecture, both past and present. In this respect, visual material such as slides, films and large color reproductions will be used. Our aim is that the art program will add to the student's growth in self-satisfaction and confidence through expressing onself visually, as well as develop his sense of perception which is so necessary before one is able to enjoy and contrib- ute to life in a modern society. Sincerely yours, Sidney Honigman, Art Supervisor, 5-8 REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : In the South Yarmouth and West Yarmouth Schools, be- ginners start in the fourth grade and receive two periods of 150 instruction per week. The fifth grade receives one lesson per week, plus on period of band. At the John Simpkins School, the sixth grade is arranged as follows for instructional purposes : Woodwinds in one group ; Brass in another. The classes meet once a week for instruction, plus one period for band. The seventh and eighth grades are formed into a Woodwind, Brass, and Percussion class. Each meet once a week for special instruction. They also meet for a band period. The bands perform for school functions, Spring Festival and graduation. I wish to thank all concerned for the fine cooperation this program has received. Respectfully submitted, Richard LaPorte, Supervisor of Instrumental Music REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF STRINGED INSTRUMENTS Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : After completing a full year of teaching the stringed in- struments I feel that at last we are on a firm footing. A half year elapsed from the time Mrs. Edmunds stopped and I be- gan. This is a long time without instruction at the beginners level especially with the stringed instruments. In many cases a fresh start or nearly so was necessary. But thanks to the cooperation of the teachers and principals of all four schools I cover, I feel that good progress is being made. A schedule has been worked out whereby these stringed instrument pupils are given private or semi -private lessons once or twice a week with no interference with the major subjects. To further interest with the hope of starting more students it was arranged for a chamber music concert in each of the four schools. Ten fine musicians working through the Music Performers Trust Fund rehearsed and played these programs. Fourth, fifth and sixth grade students attended and proved to be a wonderful audience. This did create interest that resulted in new pupils. We hope these concerts can be repeated. The study of music is most beneficial in this younger age group (4, 5, 6 grades) especially in these ever changing times. Concentration, perseverance, and attention to detail are learn - 151 ed early and give these pupils a way of studying that is of much assistance in all other subjects. Music appreciation is derived which in itself gives thesepupils something to be proud of in later years. May I again thank all the staffs for their cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Frank Cornwell, String Music Supervisor REPORT OF VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR, GRADES K through 4 Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : Since acquiring the position of Elementary Vocal Super- visor in grades kindergarten through four, I have tried to give to the children a variety of musical experiences. Experiences including, singing, dancing, playing rhythm and melody instruments, free creative response and listening to recordings, have given the children an opportunity to ex- press themselves in what they can do best musically. From these experiences the children will gain a knowledge of music theory and a readiness for music reading. Music is now and continuing to be an important factor in the mental and physical growth of children of elementary school age. Not only do they learn mentally but they perform physically through the playing of instruments. My first few months in Yarmouth have been pleasant ones and I wish to thank you, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse and faculty of the Yarmouth Schools for your cooperation and assistance. Respectfully submitted, Karen Peters, Supervisor Vocal Music REPORT OF VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR, GRADES 5 through 8 Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: Interest and effort are closely allied with ability. We 152 like to do the things we do well. Such is the case with our efforts in the field of vocal music and its correlation with other subjects in the school curriculum. Maximum pupil participa- tion is our goal. Music is not only an extremely personal art, but it is also the most social of the arts. Music is made to be enjoyed in fellowship with others. In the past six years we have followed, in part, the series ; "Music for Young Americans" with its guides, records and accompaniments. The additional enrichment of vocal music came from many sources ; music record libraries, contemporary sheet music, music bulletin boards, semi-professional rhythm band orchestras, and voluntary special projects. Music in grades 5-8 is a continuation of the general class- room music program in Grades K-4. Six basic areas are in- cluded in the comprehensive, balanced music curriculum : 1. Singing, including proper voice production and song interpretation. 2. Instrumental experience, including the development of performing skills on such instruments as auto- harps, ukuleles, bells, and percussion instruments. 3. Listening activities, including the development of discriminative tastes, the understanding of various forms, and some knowledge about composers, musical history, and instruments of the orchestra and the concert and marching bands. 4. Sight reading, vocal 5. Rhythmic development, including rhythmic reading skills and performance through the use of percussion instruments of the rhythm band. 6. Creative expression, including the rudiments of song writing as well as creative approaches to singing and listening. Articulation between the Elementary and Junior high- school curriculums, based on the six areas listed above, should be stressed at all times, so that each new learning situation is presented as an activity building upon knowledge, concepts, and skills developed through past experiences. Singing is basic to all studies undertaken in a general music curriculum. To fully appreciate and sense the meaning of the music of a certain country or of a given period in his- tory or to become attuned to the kind of scale, rhythm, or harmony used in various compositions studied, it is necessary to sing the songs illustrating these given units of study. The more students become aware of the emotions and technical features underlying a song, the better they can recapture its 153 true spirit and sing it expressively. Expressive singing should be a major goal, and no individual lesson or unit should be a major goal, and no individual lesson or unit should be con- sidered complete without a balanced part (soprano, alto and tenor) or including singers of limited ability should have sufficient opportunity to develop the vocal and interpretive abilities of its members. Each class should be challenged to measure up to the highest standard of vocal quality that it is capable of attaining. Our students have participated in many school functions : Thanksgiving Assemblies, Christmas programs, Spring Festi- vals, Memorial Day Activities and Graduation. It is my personal feeling that through music our children may develop broader sympathies, finer insight into the hearts and minds of others ; therefore, a larger life for themselves. I would be remiss if I did not fully appreciate the con- stant cooperation of the parents, the school committees, ad- ministration, principals, teachers and other school personnel. Respectfully submitted, Beverly S. Counsell Vocal Music Supervisor Grades 5-8 REPORT OF THE FRENCH SUPERVISOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : Not only the study of French, but that of all foreign lan- guages has in more recent years, I believe, taken on greater importance in everyday life and in the school curriculum. For this and other reasons I feel the study of French should be re- garded as an important and vital area of a child's mental de- velopment. Study of a foreign language should not be thought of as something "extra." I am quite sure that the course's real worth is realized by most. French, offered in the upper levels of the seventh and eighthgrades is taught by the "Mauger" method. This method is chiefly conversational as opposed to the more strict gram- matical approach of years ago. The chief objective of the method I believe, is to enable the student to converse as freely as possible. Speaking the language is stressed from the be- ginning but with emphasis on grammar and vocabulary. It 154 seems only logical to me that the student have at least the basic rules of grammar before he can converse. Dictation is a frequent exercise and individual oral recitations are required from time to time. Both of the above mentioned of course be- come iilcteasiugly detailed as the student progresses. Filmstrips and accompanying records are used to enrich the student's vocabulary as well as aid pronunciation. I would like to thank everyone at the John Simpkins School, Mr. Bearse, Mr. Drake and Mrs. Gott in particular, for their assistance and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Ernest A. Denault Supervisor of French REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is with pleasure that I submit my annual report as Supervisor of Boys' Physical Education for the Yarmouth Ele- mentary Schools. Physical Education : This program consists of calesthenics, individual and team games, gymnastics, and self -testing activities which in- clude tumbling and fundamental work on the apparatus. The importance of physical fitness is emphasized. Exercises are stressed in class and are recommended as a daily routine for the youngsters. The total fitness of the individual implies also mental alertness, social competency and moral attitudes. These intangibles, although difficult to measure, are recognized as an essential part of our program and are promoted through soccer, basketball and baseball. A very important part of our Physical Education program is athletics. We offer Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Track. These team activities afford the students an opportunity to learn the fundamentals and rules, display their individual tal- ents, work together in a team effort and practice self-control and good sportsmanship in a competitive situation. The Saturday Morning Basketball Program is as popular as ever. This year 170 boys in grades 4-6 participated on 16 :155 teams every Saturday for 13 weeks at the Regional High School. I wish to thank you, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse, Mr. Drake, Mr. Clarke, Miss Small and Mr. Cash, the school personnel and the parents for the cooperation I have received in carry- ing out the physical Education Program. Respectfully submitted, Daniel M. Campbell Supervisor of Boys' Physical Education REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : Iin these days of change and progress in many areas of education, it is pleasing to note that Physical Educators are putting forth their best efforts in research, in seminars, in their professional literature, and at their conventions to keep our progress updated. The President's Council on Physical Fitness is doing a tremendous service in stressing the importance of Physical Education, Health, and Recreation starting at the earliest pos- sible age. In our Girls' Physical Education program we see both boys and girls in grades 1 and 2 as well as all girls in grades 3 thruogh 5 once every other week. Grades 6 meet for one period weekly, grades7 and 8 for two periods weekly. There are 833 youngsters in these classes. As in the past we have after-school basketball and soft- ball, in season, for grades 7 and 8 stressing the intra -mural aspect for this age girl. Last year we were able to run a similar program for the 6th graders. Again I take this opportunity to thank you, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse, Mr. Drake, Miss Small, Mr. Clarke, and the custodians for your cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Anne Emery, Supervisor of Girls' Physical Education 156 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL HEALTH DEPARTMENT Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is with pleasure that I submit my annual report as school nurse for the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. My time is divided among the John Simpkins, South and West Yar- mouth Elementary Schools. A schedule of a reasonable amount of my time is given to each school. Prompt attention is given to all emergencies that arise. Parents are immediately notified and advised in regards to the particular problem. Early in the school year students are weighed and meas- ured. Annual physical examinations required by law were given to children in grades one, four, and seven by the school physician, Dr. Hermon Howes, assisted by the nurse. Students in grades six, seven and eight participating in the physical fit- ness program were also examined by Dr. Howes. All health observations were recorded on cumulative health cards by the nurse. Physical defects discovered during examinations were reported to the parents. Routine eye and ear examinations were given to all students. Parents were notified of any defects found and most of them received prompt attention. Five Yarmouth students attended the Eye Clinic in Hy- annis, sponsored by the Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis District Nursing Association. During the month of February, in observance of the Dental Health Week, emphasis was placed upon good dental hygiene. Demonstration kits of Crest toothpaste were passed out to the fourth and fifth grade students, and were tested by these students. The results were favorable. Early in May, a booster immunization against Diphtheria and Tetanus was given to the fourth and fifth grade students by Dr. Howes. Request slips were signed by the parents. I want to express my appreciation to the Yarmouth units of the Kiwanis and Lions Clubs for their cooperation in assist- ing several individuals with health needs. In closing may I extend a sincere thank you to you, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse, Miss Small, Mr. Drake, Mr. Clarke, and all other school personnel for their fine cooperation during the school year.

Acting under Article I on motion duly made and second- ed it was unanimously voted as recommended by the Finance Committee to appropriate from available funds in the Treas- ury the following amounts for the following accounts for the remainder of the year 1966: Town Collector $ 200.00 Police Department 3,751.41 Fire Department 1,000.00 Board of Health 6,500.00 Veterans' Benefits 6,500.00 Insurance Account 428.17 Water Department 1,000.00 Acting under Article II, Mr. Kenneth Harvey Studley re- ported for the School Building Committee with the following report : This committee was authorized at the 1965 Annual Town Meeting to secure preliminary plans for additions and altera- tions to the John Simpkins School, South Yarmouth, the sec- ond stage in the proposed school expansion program. After careful survey of qualified architects the committee selected the firm of Alger and Gunn of Hyannis to design a school to meet the demands of our ever increasing pupil en- rollment. Preliminary plans were prepared and after extensive study it was the unanimous opinion of the committee that an addition of such magnitude to the present John Simpkins School was not a sound decision - it would over -build the available land, would rule out any future addition and would not provide space for retarded, emotionally disturbed and other disadvantaged students. (Exceptional children) At this point your committee decided to investigate pos- sible sites and develop studies for a new Middle School. The site selected was Town -owned land on Higgins - Crowell Road, West Yarmouth - a 70 acre parcel at the loca- tion of the present West Yarmouth Elementary School. The 1966 Annual Town Meeting turned down the ques- tion of regionalizing the middle grades and gave your com- mittee a vote of confidence to proceed with the present plans. 54 Need : Since all available space in the John Simpkins School is now in use and the school is over -crowded all reg- ular and special classes are operating under difficulties. The present John Simpkins School with alterations would satisfy the special requirements of a school for exceptional children. Proposed Middle School: The proposed new school will contain the following : 26 interchangeable classrooms ; 5 science rooms ; 2 arts and crafts ; 1 industrial arts shop ; 1 home economics suite ; 1 mechanical drawing room ; 1 choral room ; 1 band room. The library audio-visual center, cafeteria, kitchen, audi- torium, gymnasium, locker rooms, boiler room, administra- tion and allied areas are planned for an ultimate enrollment of 1200 students. The present proposal would allow for an enrollment up to 900 and is designed for a 10 room addition in the future. Building Characteristics : The physical plant has been designed to incorporate current prefabrication methods and will consist of a reinforced concrete and structural steel frame, brick exterior walls with prefinished steel curtain walls and insulating glass, interior masonry block partitions, a seamless synthetic floor finish, and a re -set hot water heating system. All materials and mechanical systems were selected to insure long service with minimum maintenance costs. Recommendations : The School Building Committee, af- ter considered study, strongly recommends that the voters of Yarmouth accept the proposed plan presented in this report and -vote to approve a bond issue for the construction and equipping of this school. Respectfully submitted, The Yarmouth School Building Committee. The report was accepted by the Voters assembled. Acting under Article III. A motion was duly made and seconded as recommended by the Finance Committee, that the sum of Two Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,900.000.00) be appropriated for constructing, originally equipping and furnishing a Middle Grade School, and that to meet this appropriation Nineteen Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-two and 12/100 Dollars ($19,292.12) be transferred from the West Yarmouth Elementary School Construction Ac- count and that Thirty Thousand Seven Hundred Seven and 88/100 Dollars ($30,707.88) be appropriated from Surplus Revenue and that the Treasurer, with the approval of the 55 Selectmen, is authorized to borrow Two Million Eight Hun- dred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,8$0,000.00) under Chapter 645 of the Acts of 1948, as amended; and that the School Building Committee is authorized to take all action necessary to carry out this vote. The Hand Vote was as follows : Yes 341 No 15 and the motion was carried by the neces- sary two-thirds (2/3) vote and so declared by the Moderator. On motion duly made and seconded it was voted to ad- journ. Meeting adjourned at 8:18 o'clock P. M. Gerald O.

We have found that the surveying, laying out and the making of plans and profiles for roads is a time consuming operation. Our thinking, up to this point, has been mainly directed toward the three roads presented on the map prepared for the 1966 town meeting. Though greater traffic efficiency and construction economies would come from building the roads as a package, we now feel that Yarmouth's best advantage would be served by attacking them in steps. Old Town House Road, the extension of Great Western Road, has been temporarily forestalled by the inability of some of the property owners to give a clear title to the lots the Town voted to purchase last year. This problem appears about to be resolved. At this time, no State or County funds are available for the construction of Forest Road, and with the heavy demands on the Yarmouth taxpayers it is felt that this can be our last step, at which point it might very well qualify for outside assistance. Our immediate concentration, therefore, has been on the southernmost road, Bucks Island Road so called, the East- West extension of Winslow Gray Road to the Hyannis line. This road is nearest Yarmouth's main traffic problem, Route 28; there is considerable construction activity taking place in this area and this road is the one which, if delayed, would un- doubtedly result in considerable increase in its ultimate cost. It is expected that the layout of this road will be ready for the 1967 town meeting and Yarmouth voters will be asked to supplement available state and County funds and authorize its construction. The Traffic Committee is investigating a number of pos- sible road improvements. Our principal limitation on putting them into effect has been that we are trying to progress at a pace that we, the Yarmouth taxpayers, can afford. Again, we suggest and invite all who use our roads to come forward with suggestions and advice. It is you who live with these roads in your daily activities, and can there- fore make practical recommendations. Our roads are everybody's business ! The Yarmouth Traffic Committee takes this opportunity 77 to express its appreciation to John Newton and his staff for their substantial assistance and friendly counsel, to thank the Selectmen for their cooperation and, to thank "our bosses," the Planning Board, for giving us a free rein yet their full support when ever it was needed. Respectfully submitted. The Yarmouth Traffic Committee REPORT OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR January 1, 1967 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : Submitted herewith is the Annual Report of the Building Inspector. During the year a total of 638 Building Permits, for con- struction estimated to cost $5,966,303, were issued from this office. These permits include all new dwellings, commercial buildings, garages, accessory buildings and alterations. Fees collected and paid to the Town Treasurer from building permits were $3,057. Respectfully submitted, Alexander Catto Building Inspector ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CEMETERY DEPARTMENT December 5, 1966 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen : The Cemetery Department wishes to bring to the atten- tion of the Selectmen that for the past four years we have requested an article be placed in the warrant either to take or purchase land for the purpose of a new Town Cemetery. During this time the cost of land per acre has doubled and tripled. At the present time there are no lots available in West Yarmouth, a few limited lots in the Pine Grove Ceme- tery, South Yarmouth; and when the full burden goes to the 78 Ancient Cemetery there will not be enough room for the de- mand on the lots. We would appreciate your attention and cooperation. Yours very truly, CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS Gordon Clark Jr. William H. Poole REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF GAS PIPING AND GAS APPLIANCES January 25, 1967. Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth. Gentlemen : I hereby submit the report of the Inspector of Gas Piping and Gas Appliances for the year ending December 31, 1966. During the past year I have received 746 applications for gas installations and/or alterations. 667 inspections were made. Also during 1966 I made three investigations of leaks in gas mains, one investigation of a gas line to a private home broken by a trench digger and three calls resulting from oven fires and explosions. Again I would like to thank the personnel of the Town Office, the Fire Department and the installers working in the town for the wonderful cooperation I have received. Respectfully Submitted Charles A. Van Dusen Inspector of Gas Piping and Gas Appliances. 79 REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES January 23, 1967 District Board: Chairman Henry R. Darling - Yarmouth George L. Cross - Barnstable Kirkwood B. Brown - Dennis A. John McQuade - Sandwich Leo Sweeney - Mashpee Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : The year 1966 saw a substantial increase in the expendi- tures for Veterans' Benefits for the Town of Yarmouth. We had a greater case load, such as 11 permanent and 17 temp- orary cases. Much of the money expended was due to an increased expenditure for hospital costs. Also, the State Leg- islature, in its wisdom, abolished the five year settlement law, which meant that if a veteran moved from another city or town to our town of Yarmouth he did not have to wait the required five years before this town became responsible for his care. By the mere passage of this law, our town inherited an additional six cases, which meant that these veterans and their dependents became our responsibility. A great deal of our time is spent in providing Veterans' Services to the many eligible veterans living in our town, such as assisting in filing applications for pensions, compen- sation, insurance and hospitalization. This year also brought to this department the so-called Cold War G.I. Bill, which meant that any person serving 181 days or more from February 1, 1955 to date would be entitled to benefits from the Veterans Administration and Veterans' Benefits from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We must realize that our town is growing every day and the services to its citizens also must meet the challenge. I wish to acknowledge with grateful appreciation the cooperation of the Board of Selectmen and all the Town De- partments. This department has two employees besides my- self, namely Miss Madeline Vedder and Mrs. Florence Bell. Without their untiring and dedicated efforts my task would be much greater. Respectfully submitted, Charles H. Cross, Director and Agent 80 REPORT OF CONSERVATION COMMISSION A great deal of work has been done in establishing a sound basis for conservation, in a way that will satisfy the desires of the majority, who now live, work and play in Yar- mouth. The amount of conservation, its location and purpose has been studied in detail. We have considered the wishes of the total population, both pro and con, and are working on this basis, so that conservation in Yarmouth will be in proper balance with the other needs of the Town. We have considered the maximum and the minimum areas that should be conserved, but constantly aware of the economy and necessary expanding services that the Town is obliged to provide. This does not call for extreme meas- ures, but those that are harmonious with other programs of other departments. This year, we are continuing our land acquisition pro- gram and hope that we will be successful in completing our many projects. We have begun a program of improvement to some of the property by making trails, clearing, seeding, planting, etc. This will be enlarged as conditions permit, so that you may better enjoy the wonderful areas, that you have made possible to acquire. We have bought a six acre parcel of woodland which joins our green belt area, North of Horse Pond to the school property on Higgins Crowell Road. This will allow children access to a large conservation area. A trail will be made in the proper location for the greatest enjoyment of the children. There will be an article in the warrant asking you to acquire an area of marshland on the North side of Town. Only property that is unknown and covered with salt water at high tide is included. The use of eminent domain is used merely to secure a clear title. The Conservation Commission expresses its deepest gratitude to Selectman Raymond Darling for the article on the marshland, as this has been made possible only through his efforts. We feel that a great deal of progress will be made this year and continue our work with great enthusiasm, knowing 81 that we have your support and approval. David Barry (deceased) Thomas Embler, Secretary Loren Petry Raymond Syrjala, Chairman Allen Vera RECREATIONAL COMMISSION - GOLF COURSE Report for the Year 1966 The year 1966 brought many changes to the Yarmouth Golf Course. These did not seriously affect the income from its operation which amounted to $94,894.98 as compared to $101,587.57 for the year 1965. The first serious blow was the loss of Dave Barry on his death on November 6, 1966. Dave, the superintendent of the course, the one who had been instrumental in improving it and maintaining it in top condition in the face of ever-in- creasing play, had such a high level of competence in his field that his departure from our operation has deprived the Town of one of its most able professionals. The members of the Committee can only express their own personal sense of sadness on his passing but the Town owes him a great debt for his contributions to an outstanding recreational facility. Another member of the original group associated with our operation, Frank Sheehy, retired as manager after years of faithful, devoted and helpful service. We wish him well in his retirement and on behalf of the townspeople express the citizens' deep thanks for his contributions over the years. Oscar Doane, Jr., an original member of the Commission, has submitted his resignation to the Town. His expenditure of time and energy to the efficient management of the course cannot be sufficiently expressed in this short report. Invalu- able and meticulous, he will be hard to replace and again we can only express our thanks. As we have shown, the Commission has sustained some heavy inroads on its personnel. The successful operation of the golf course depends on our employees and we will con - 82 tinue our efforts to keep our organization manned as well as possible.

Sofinowski Deputy Commissioner Department of Commerce & Development Division of Housing Boston, Massachusetts Mr. Thaddeus Buczko, State Auditor State House Boston, Massachusetts The Yarmouth Housing Authority is pleased to report that in the calendar year of 1966, we progressed our initial major maintenance program. It consisted of complete exterior painting job of the five buildings, cleaning and painting of all interior walls, stairways and cement floors in the hallways of the four tenant -occupied buildings. We are contemplating an interior painting job to walls and floors of the Community Building during the year 1967. The Housing Project consisting of 40 units has been fully occupied for the entire year and there are on file approxi- mately fifteen applications for future admission from Yar- mouth residents. Briefly, eligibility requirements are that a person must be 65 years of age or over (single individuals living alone or couples are eligible) and of low income. The annual income of a single individual not to exceed $2500 and the annual income of a couple not to exceed $3000. The average monthly rent, including heat, electricity and water is $57.00. A financial statement of operation as of December 31, 1966 is : Income including State Aid $31,299.24 Expenses 27,794.07 Surplus $ 3,505.17 84 Respectfully submitted, John H. Carroll, Chairman Howard K. Jackson Spear T. Holway Howard A. Spurr Hervey L. Small REPORT OF SHELLFISH CONSTABLE To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. I hereby submit the following report as Shellfish Con- stable for the year ending December 31, 1966. Surveys of town areas were completed in June with help from the State Marine Biologist, Mr. Arnold Carr. This was done for the purpose of finding out what areas were produc- ing best, also to find where and what enemies of shellfish were located. There were several experimental beds planted throughout the Town. These beds were very helpful in the survey. Several bushels of seed quahogs were transplanted from deep water to shallow water and places more accessible to the public. The town is not in very good shape with oysters. Most of the choice oyster areas are infested with the Oyster Drill. The Drill being one of the oysters worst enemies, it is also costly to do away with. We are going to experiment with new locations. Quahogs, Scallops and Clams are in fair shape, but need building up and we hope to do this in the coming year. There were four arrests made, five permits suspended and thirty six violation notices given out. Shellfish valued at approximately $32,460.00 were taken from waters of the Town as follows : Average Wholesale Total Bushels Comm. Family Total Price Dollars Quahogs 500 420 920 $9.00 $8,280. Scallops 1,190 350 1,540 9.00 13,860. Clams 700 320 1,020 10.00 10,200. Oysters 10 10 12.00 120. $32,460. 85 Permits Issued: 26 Comm. @ $20.00 $520.00 204 Non -Res. Family @ $2.00 408.00 1,229 Res. Family @ .50 614.50 $1,542.50 I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Selectmen, Police Dept. and Citizens of the Town of Yar- mouth for their cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Morris I. Johnson, Jr. Shellfish Constable REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSION With our ever increasing population every summer, our beaches have been filled solid, quite often, especially July 1, 2, 3, 4th. It had to be first come, first served, at our larger beaches. On any hot beach day - from 1 :00 to 3:00 p.m. - it is almost impossible to find any parking spaces available. The sticker revenue for 1966 was $4,477.00 over 1965 figures. We have strong feelings that 1967 will surpass the figures of $25,613.00 for 1966. We are asking funds to enlarge the Parking Lot at Bass River Beach and it will be 200 feet closer to the beach. We are also installing Life Guard stands on the larger beaches, to better enable them to see the beach and water, for the safety of everyone. Over 400 beginners, last summer, were instructed how to swim, and were issued their Red Cross Certificates. Our big problem, is to keep ahead of the "litter bugs". We start at 7:00 a.m. and pick up all papers, beer cans, and bottles, and on a good hot beach day, by noon time, it seems unbelievable, but the beaches and parking lots again need to be cleaned up. I know this is being done, because I am there to see that it's done. We ask your supporting votes for the funds we are re- questing to improve our beaches.

Robinson Yarmouth Town Collector REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPT. 1966 To the Board of Health Town of Yarmouth In the early 1920's the County Commissioners, the Cape Cod Health Bureau (the predecessor of the present Barn- stable County Associated Boards of Health) and the Cape Cod Public Health Club, expressed concern for provision of high quality service for all of the residents in the County at the least cost. This led to action in legislation, Chapter 133 of the Acts of 1926, being passed and the Barnstable County Health Department was established. We appreciate the recognition you gave us November 89 17, 1966 on our 40th anniversary and look forward to your continued support and cooperation in giving the expected good service to all of our citizens. A primary requisite to assure continued high quality service is qualified professional supervision of all workers within the service. With this in mind the Barnstable County 'Commissioners have allowed us a second public health nurse supervisor position. This will give added professional assis- tance to your town nurses. The concern for continued provision of high quality pub- lic health service is constant and requires study and planning for necessary action. Let me share with you some of the most `outstanding health needs in Barnstable County : 1. The needs for psychiatric services for adults, addi- tional services for the emotionally ill and for the mentally retarded of all ages. 2. The need for coordination of all available health resources. The careful use of all trained workers will produce maximum high quality service at lower costs. 3. The problems associated with the increased demand for clean public water supplies and disposal of sew- age and solid waste are with us. This will require all towns to formulate plans individually and coopera- tively to meet the short and long term needs. One important requirement is to have land available as it is needed. 4. There is the serious need of upgrading salaries of the professionals in order to keep and recruit necessary personnel. To maintain high standards of public health service, we need a minimum number of high- ly qualified professional staff, and as the population grows and health needs increase health aides can be added. This kind of planning is imperative to insure good service.

Mary Susich County Health Officer Agent of Board of Health Town of Yarmouth 92 PLANNING BOARD REPORT Yarmouth still grows : we know this by the increase in sub -division plans. We know this because it is our job to keep pace with the ever present change. We then must be constantly alert to all the important issues which rise from Land Distribution and the factors which so greatly affect the well being of those who now, and those who will, live in this town. The Zoning By -Law article (presented but not accepted at the last town meeting) continues to be studied and re- worked. We have communicated with voters by the vehicle of additional Public Hearings or Seminars (three were held recently) . The Board has scheduled a Special Town Meeting for early spring, preceded by two Public Hearings, to present again the Zoning By -Law article. We suggest that you carefully consider its merits and ask you to continue to become more familiar with this — a most important part of Planning. Nathan C. Austin, Chairman Elwin W. Coombs William H. Harrison Richard K. Johnson Peter M. Sykes REPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR December 31, 1966 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen : I hereby submit the following report of Plumbing In- spector for the year ending December 31, 1966. I have inspected 1266 plumbing installations and driven approximately 11,000 miles as Plumbing Inspector of the Town of Yarmouth. It now becomes necessary that I retire. I have served as Plumbing Inspector in this office for the past 18 years, and wish to inform you that this will be my last town report. I take this opportunity to thank all the Town Officials that have assisted me in my duties. 93 Upon entering into retirement, I feel that I have ful- filled my obligations to the best of my ability. Respectfully Submitted Albert Smith Plumbing Inspector REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES December 31, 1966 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen : There were approximately 1,435 inspections of electrical work made by this Department during the year 1966, on which I travelled some 12,000 miles. Due to the situation of tight mortgage money toward the end of 1966, building dropped off some what for that period. I am available every morning, Monday through Friday, from 9 A.M. to 10 A.M. at the Town Hall, to assist anyone who might have a question on electrical wiring. Respectfully submitted, Edmund Fruean, Jr. Inspector of Wires REPORT OF TREE WARDEN AND MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : During 1966 one hundred and four (104) shade and flowering trees were planted along town ways. Planting was kept to a minimum during the Spring due to the dry weather conditions. The majority of trees were planted in the fall. Shade trees bordering the highways of the town were pruned for sidewalk clearance during the summer and fall. It was 94 also necessary to trim back the trees and brush at several intersections to give a clear view of all automobiles and road signs. INSECT PEST CONTROL During the past year the regular spraying for the Tent Cat- erpillar was carried on at the proper time in an effort to keep it under control, and to this date there still have not been any signs or reports of Gypsy Moth in the Town of Yarmouth. During the summer months, Poison Ivy was sprayed along roadsides and near swimming areas throughout the town. Many areas sprayed last year were completely controlled, and needed no additional spraying. Roadsides spraying for summer insects was very successful this past summer, due to the fact that the town purchased a new mist blower, which enabled us to give a more complete coverage to wooded areas. DUTCH ELM DEPARTMENT During the first half of April all of the Elm Trees in the town were sprayed by helicopter. This dormant spray is applied to control the Elm Bark Beetle, carrier of Dutch Elm Disease. The Elm Leaf Beetle was also sprayed periodically throughout the summer season, with the new mist blower again being a tremendous help in reaching the tops of all trees. Samples of Elm Trees were taken again during the summer months, and it was found that four trees on the North side and one tree on the South side had Dutch Elm Disease and have since been removed. A sanitation program of pruning was done on many large Elm trees throughout the town. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Highway Department, the Police Department and many of the towns- people for their co-operation during the past year. Respectfully submitted John L. Holmes Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent 95 REPORT OF THE WEST YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Board of Selectmen and Citizens West Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Our first complete year in our Library Building has come to a close and it was a very busy and interesting year. Our circulation has increased steadily every year and this year was certainly no exception. Our Library was asked to supply books at the Elderly Housing in South Yarmouth in April. We consulted the authorities and installed a book case in the recreation build- ing which is kept stocked with books both fiction and non- fiction. They are changed from time to time. We had Open House on the anniversary date of our occupancy in the new building. The attendance was good and the Trustees have decided to have it every year on Palm Sunday. On May 17 the Cape Cod Library Club met at the Li- brary for the annual Spring Meeting. Mr. Giambarba from the Scrimshaw Press in Centerville was the speaker. Again this year we want to thank all who donated books during the year. A special Thank You to : Mr. and Mrs. A. Harold Castonguay for the very generous donation of children's books, Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Silvia for the beautiful flowers and holiday decoration in our picture window. I would like to especially thank Mrs. Evelyn Wallis and Mrs. Lee Wetjen for taking over for me when I was indispose. Again we -thank the Selectmen and taxpayers for their continued interest and cooperation. Respectfully submitted Eleanor E. Finn, Librarian West Yarmouth Library Association 96 REPORT OF THE SO.

We have new light- ing in the Circulation Room and new shelves in the Children's Room. These installations greatly help to improve the ef- ficiency and appearance of the library. We wish again to thank Mrs. Maxtone-Graham, Chair- man, and the Members of our Board, the officials of the Town, and our patrons for their invaluable cooperation and support. The library now hosts a Story Hour for pre-school chil- dren under the sponsorship of the Dennis -Yarmouth Young Mother's Club. The Story Hour is well attended and or- ganized. Deborah Taylor, our Page, is conscientious in her work and commendably increases her skill in the use of library tools and technique. We continue our efforts to improve and enhance our collection and service. January 1967 Respectfully submitted, Mrs. Frances Rousseff Librarian REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION To The Honorable Board of Selectmen, Gentlemen: The Year 1966 has proved to be a memorable year in the annals of the Yarmouth Library for it marks a century of service rendered to the friends and residents of the village. For the past decade the library has operated under a 97 handicap of inadequate space for both librarians and patrons as well as book storage. In the fall of 1965 ground was broken and construction started on what resulted in the annexation of a modern stack room and an office for the librarian. Also expensive and greatly needed renovation and improvements in the Simpkins reading room were made. During the first four months of this year it was necessary to close the library in order to allow the work to continue. A temporary bookmobile service was provided by the librarian which was greatly appreciated by shut-ins and others. With the reopening of the building in May an Open House was held during which hundreds of patrons and visitors had an opportunity to inspect the fine facility. Refreshments were provided by a group of members and the Meeteneets society. This was the first of several events which took place marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the library. Culmination of the programs came in late September when nearly 100 friends and townsfolk gathered for a banquet at Cummaquid Inn. Guests from Cape libraries, State and Re- gional officials attended. Milton E. Lord, Director Emeritus of the Boston Public Library honored us as guest speaker of the evening. The Trustees wish to express their deep appreciation for the continued cooperation of the Friends of the Library who generously donated $1000 to the undertaking. Also, to the Yarmouth Finance Committee and Board of Selectmen to- gether with the voters at town meeting who provided funds for part of the library operational expense. Yarmouth Library is now a part of the Eastern Regional System. Our librarian and assistant librarian hold member- ship in the Cape Cod Library Club, an organization for pro- motion of library services throughout the area. Gifts of books and other items as well as services have been made during the year and are greatly appreciated. A weekly childrens program on Saturday mornings has become very popular with the younger set in the community. This has been made possible by the cooperative efforts of Mrs. Martha U. White, librarian and Mrs. Arthur Mills Smith, assistant librarian. Their interest and helpfulness has been a big factor in promoting the increased services and benefits now afforded the library patrons and the Boards of Trustees are united in expressing their gratitude. Looking forward to 1967 the Yarmouth Library should experience its greatest year. An invitation is extended to all 98 who wish to visit the library and avail themselves of the many educational and social advantages. Respectfully submitted. Carl H. Bussey, President Yarmouth Library Association. REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR Dec. 16, 1966. To the Board of Selectmen : Fourteen new roads were accepted by the Town in 1966 and blacktopped. In the Englewood section we resurfaced Maine Ave., Summer St., Pine St., a portion of Pine Cone Dr. and Pearl St., a total of one-half mile of roads. The entrance to the Pine Grove Cemetery in South Yar- mouth and the entrance to the Town Dump were also resur- faced as were 200 feet each of Marigold Rd. and Rosemary Rd. in West Yarmouth. Under Chapter 90 Maintenance we continued our resur- facing of South Shore Drive and hope to finish this road in 1967. Eight miles of old roads were seal -coated to protect them. 1750 feet of new sidewalks were put in on South Sea Ave. and 1800 feet on Station Ave. The sidewalk on South St. in Bass River was resurfaced. Forty six catch basins were installed using about 1200 feet of drainage pipe. We are still renting a sweeper and all the roads in Town have been swept twice during the year. Most of our catch basins were cleaned out by a hired machine. Installing and repairing street signs goes on continually as we experience a great deal of sign damage. Respectfully submitted James E. Marsh Highway Surveyor 99 REPORT OF THE DOINGS AT BAXTER MILL at West Yarmouth. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Yarmouth: I am pleased to make my annual report as to the doings at the Baxter Mill at West Yarmouth. We had about 142 visitors from various parts of the country. We sold 79 pounds of corn meal for a total of $19.75 and received contributions in the amount of $14.26, making a total of $34.01, which has been turned over to the Town of Yarmouth. We are indebted to Mr. Joseph Cunningham and his workers in keeping the mill open Saturdays of each week, and for their interest in the workings of the mill . Ben Baxter and George Kelley still continue to help me in keeping this mill in repair and in good condition, all for the benefit of the Town. Respectfully submitted, A. Harold Castonguay, Chairman REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH INDIANS BASEBALL CLUB December 14, 1966 To : The Honorable Board of Selectmen Yarmouth Town Office South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: Under new management and the formation of a new and active Baseball committee, the Indians had a good season. Although not in the Championship this season found the In- dians placing in the same position as they have in the previous three seasons. We had a good group of boys and this can be vouched for by the many who have placed the boys in their homes and gave them employment. We, the management and committee wish to express our 100 appreciation and "THANKS" to everyone who in any way helped to make things easier for all. The future of Baseball lies with you the people of the town. What do I mean by this statement. Just this, we are always hearing that the games are held during the supper hour. That we can't make the games. It is hard to make people believe that as Business Manager of the Yarmouth Indians for the last four seasons, I am working for you people. Because, you are the ones who make a ball game. How can this be solved. Everyone is being asked to pre- dict for the future. The future of a Town Baseball team lies in supporting the team to the utmost. This can be done by giving the lighting system which was asked for at our last Town Meeting. Night baseball is the coming thing. This will make it better for everyone. You certainly would be able to attend the ball game then. Also, we are attempting to get new bleachers at the field this season. We hope you will support this. Again "THANKS" to everyone and we hope to see ev- eryone support all Sports in the town. "A SPORTING TOWN IS A HEALTHFUL TOWN" Through the Recreation Commission the Yarmouth In- dians Baseball Team received Nine hundred dollars ($900.00). How this money was spent follows : Appropriation : $900.00 Expenditures : League Entrance Fee $500.00 Cape Cod Sports Center $400.00 Total Expenditures $900.00 Yours for Better Sports Richard T. Welch Business Manager -Treasurer Yarmouth Indians Baseball Club REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT January 1, 1967 To the Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth Ten road layouts were prepared for Town Meeting, 101 which were all accepted and built during the summer and fall of 1966. Two of these layouts were at the request of the Traffic Committee to benefit circulation of traffic in those specific areas. The layout of Buck Island Road has been drawn in pre- liminary form showing all details of property lines, structures, swamps, brooks and other features of terrain. This layout totaling 3 miles in length has been brought through the pre- liminary design stage and was recently discussed with Mass. Department of Public Works officials for refinement of some intersection design. All field survey work on the Old Town House Rd. and Forest Rd. baselines has been completed and is of great value not only for road layout purposes, but be- cause of their connection with all property lines in the survey area, which will enable us to draw assessors maps in those areas where we had inadequate information before. A list of omitted parcels of land which were previously listed as owners unknown and from which no real estate tax income was derived, has been given to the assessors for tax taking procedures. These parcels total 132 acres of land. This research into unknown parcels is continuing and as omitted parcels are discovered they will be picked up for assessment and taking, if taxes are unpaid. Respectfully subumitted, John L. Newton Engineering Department REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH POLICE DEPARTMENT January 11, 1967 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth Submitted herewith is the Report of Activities and Report of Arrests of the Police Department for the year 1966. With 1631 arrests in 1966 against 1,003 in 1965 it is quite evident that the workload of the Department is increasing along with, if not greater than, the increase in population, both summer and year round, of the Town. Juvenile arrests, which means young people under the age of seventeen years 102 also increased nearly fifty per cent for the year. Without parental help and support it is almost impossible to cut this type of arrest down. Emergency calls for cruisers to transport patients from their homes to hospitals, both on the Cape and to Taunton and Boston increased from 356 to 479. These emergencies constitute heart attacks, broken bones, pneumonia cases, mental patients and many other types of illnesses and em- ergencies. This will give some idea of the diversity of training the officers of this Department must have, beside the vitally necessary knowledge they must have to properly execute their primary duties of crime prevention, apprehension and prose- cution. With many new Supreme Court decisions giving the criminal more and greater protection it is vital that officers know and respect the rights of the criminal as well as the law-abiding citizen. The officer must, therefore, continually refresh his knowledge of the existing laws and study new laws and decisions. The thanks and appreciation of the Police Department is extended to all other Town departments which have been very co-operative and of invaluable assistance during past years, and to the citizens of the Town for their support. Respectfully, Herbert J. Jason Chief of Police.

During the year, fifty-three formal requests for Certificates of Appropriateness were received, of which all but one were approved. Several other requests were found to cover matters for which no Certificate was required. 107 We are pleased to report that the objective of the His- toric District, which is the development, preservation and maintenance of buildings and structures compatible with the historic tradition of Yarmouth and Yarmouth Port as they existed in the early days of Cape Cod, is continuing to receive the support of the District and the Town. Several mainten- ance and restoration projects were undertaken in the District this year. Commissioner Stanley VanRiper submitted his resigna- tion to the Selectmen effective as of December 31, 1966. His unexpired term, consisting of one year, has been filled by the appointment by the Selectmen, of Mr. Paul W. Stewart. The Commission wishes to acknowledge the valuable help and advice of our first Chairman, Mr. Roderick E. Smith who, on account of the pressure of business, decided not to run for election. Mr. Smith was a member of the Committee appointed by the Planning Board to investigate the possibility of establishing the District. He drafted the Enabling Act under which the District and Commission were established. At the Special Election held November 1, 1966, Mr. Gorham Pulsifer was elected Commissioner to serve for a period of four years. The Commission would like, in closing this brief report, to acknowledge the gracious co-operation which .we have experienced from applicants who have held the general wel- fare of the District above their individual immediate interests. The Historic Yarmouth Port District Commission Ralph W. Harwood, Charman Albert S. Cross Albert Niemi Gorham Pulsifer Paul W. Stewart TO THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR 1966 Gentlemen : There were many changes in 1966 affecting the Welfare Department. Some of the major and most important ones follow 1. An additional social worker was employed in February in order to handle the increase in the number of appli- 108 cations, reinvestigations and social calls on eligible re- cipients. 2. Revision of the Standards of Assistance according to living arrangements, in three groups in the O.A.A. and D.A. categories. This simplified the method of figuring budgets and in most cases resulted in an increase of recipients' grants. 3. Revised fee schedule for Nursing and Convalescent homes, classifying them into five groups ranging from $6.99 to $9.59 per day. All homes in this area received an increase in rates. 4. Increase in most all hospital per diem rates, effective January 1, 1966. 5. Revision of definition of a dependent child to include children under the age of 21 who are attending school, college or courses in vocational and technical training. 6. Medical care plan revised July 1, 1966 allowing higher fees for physicians and other procedures. 7. Medicare went into effect July 1st. This department spent many hours of work getting information for the Social Security Administration office, applications for social security numbers for clients, filling out their forms for MEDICARE, etc. 8. Burial allowances increased. 9. New rules and regulations re the Protection of Individ- ual Rights went into effect. 10. New standards of evaluating income. Wages must now be considered in determining the net income of the recipient. The employed person must be allowed ade- quate provision for all expenses entailed in producing that income, and in addition, up to $15.00 a week for additional food, clothing and personal care may be re- tained and not deducted from the budget. 11. A new simplified Table of Assistance Allowances for A.F.D.C. cases, with a slight increase in most budgets. 12. MEDICAID went into effect September 1, 1966. The Massachusetts Department of Public Welfare wants the entire population of the state to be informed of this new medical assistance program and want this informa- tion to reach every low income individual and family. We therefore are publishing below the ELIGIBILITY PROVISIONS FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE as list- ed in the informational pamphlets which are available at the Welfare Department. 109 PERSONS ELIGIBLE Medical Assistance will be available to the following individ- uals with medical care and services available in the same amount, duration and scope : 1. All persons who are receiving Old Age Assistance, Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Disability Assistance (Medical Assistance replaced the Medical Assistance for the Aged Program). 2. All persons who are eligible for Old Age Assistance, Aid to Families with Dependent Children or Disability As- sistance but who have not yet applied for these pro- grams. 3. All persons who are eligible for Old Age Assistance, Aid to Families with Dependent Children or Disability Assistance except for the durational residence require- ment, income or personal property, provided they meet the eligibility requirement for Medical Assistance. 4. All medically needy children under 21 years of age whose income and resources are sufficient for their maintenance but are insufficient to meet the cost of medical and remedial care. 5. All persons who reside in Massachusetts but who are temporarily absent from the State are eligible, pro- vided they meet all of the eligibility requirements. FINANCIAL ELIGIBILITY Personal Property Exemption Personal property is defined as the ownership of Bank deposits, securities, cash surrender value of life insur- ance, cash on hand or similar assets readily convertible into cash. An individual is allowed personal property up to $2000. A married couple or family of two persons are allowed combined personal property up to $3000. An additional sum of $100 shall be allowed for each additional depend- ent member of the family. Real Property An applicant may own real property used as a home or from which he is absent because of mental or physical illness. Ownership of an interest in vacant land from which no income is derived affects eligibility. However, the applicant must agree to take immediate and continu- ing action to dispose of the vacant land in order to be- come eligible. 110 Income Exemptions The monthly net income exemption is $180 for an in- dividual and an additional exemption of $56 for each additional family member. For example, a family .ef father, mother and two children would have a monthly exemption of $348 or $4176 per year. If the annual net income totaled $4700 for this family the excess over $4176 would be applied to the family's medical needs. Any additional amount of medical needs over $524 an- nually would be paid for under Medical Assistance. Exemptions in Licensed Facilities A person receiving care in a licensed nursing home, licensed chronic hospital, or approved medical institu- tion who has income shall be allowed to retain the first $23.60 a month of such income for personal needs. If the spouse is living outside of an institution there is an additional exemption up to $225 per month from their combined total monthly income for the maintenance of the spouse. Relatives' Responsibility The financial responsibility of any person for any appli- cant or recipient of Medical Assistance will be limited to the responsibility of husband for wife, and of parents for children under 21 years, or blind, or permanently and totally disabled. Life Insurance There is no restriction regarding the amount of life in- surance a person may have. However, in order to meet Federal requirements, the cash surrender value of life insurance must be considered in the determination of personal property. Place of Application Application for Medical Assistance is made with the Board of Public Welfare in the city or town where the applicant resides. LIENS There were three lien recoveries this year totaling $15,844.66 which amount was divided proportionately between Federal, State and Town. The amount of assistance granted in these cases was $38,300.84. BREAKDOWN OF WELFARE COSTS The average case load increased from 145 in 1965 to 151 in 1966, and the total count January 1, 1967 is 166 cases. The total expenditure 111 for assistance including administration was $317,779.46, an increase over 1965 of $34,687.13. The town's share of this amount was $69,080.66 or 21.74% of the total. A total of 1556 calls were made for applications, rein- vestigations and special. purposeful calls. This is over 400 more than last year. This figure does not represent the many many telephone calls and office visits requesting information on aid, Social Security, Medicare, etc. OLD AGE ASSISTANCE Average monthly case load for year 1966 57 Increase in monthly case load over 1965 6 Number Active Cases January 1, 1967 60 Number Applications received 26 Number Applications approved 22 Number Applications denied 4 Number cases closed 19 Total service calls and investigations 347 Total direct cash payments $59,030.30 Total indirect vendor medical payments 9,970.68 Total payments in O.A.A. $69,000.98 REIMBURSEMENTS Federal (reflecting Lien returns) $39,273.75 State 19,611.85 $58,885.60 $58,885.60 Net Cost to Town $10,115.38 MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE AGED (Medical Assistance from 9/1/66 to 1/1/67) Average monthly case load for 1966 39 (MAA) (MA) TOTAL Number active cases 12/31/66 35 12 47 Number applications received 12 13 25 Number applications approved 8 12 20 Number applications denied 4 1 5 Number cases closed 20 — 20 Total service calls 203 Total direct cash payments $1,292.20 Total indirect medical payments 67,971.42 112 Total payments in M.A.A. and M.A. for 1966 (Total figures include cost of REIMBURSEMENTS *Federal State Total Net cost to town *Reflecting increase in special allowance for AID TO FAMILIES WITH DEPENDENT CHILDREN Average monthly case load for 1966 38 Average number parents and children per month 144 Number parents and children December 31, 1966 173 Number active cases December 31, 1966 47 Number applications received 42 Number applications approved 35 Number applications denied 7 Number cases closed during year 31 Number investigations and service calls 750 Total direct payments Total indirect vendor and medical payments Total payments in A.F.D.C. in 1966 REIMBURSEMENTS $69,263.62 new M.A. cases from 9/1/66 - 12/31/66) $43,933.26 26,519.38 $70,452.64 $70,452.64 — $ 1,189.02 reimbursements since September plus new M.A. Federal State Fathers Net cost to town DISABILITY ASSISTANCE Average monthly case load Number active cases 12/31/66 Number applications received Number applications approved Number applications denied Number cases closed Total investigations and service calls Total direct cash payments 113 $88,077.05 20,668.45 $108,745.50 $37,487.50 33,767.01 2,679.25 73,933.76 9 7 8 7 0 7 138 $ 34,811.74 $12,334.70 Total indirect vendor medical payments Total payments in D.A. in 1966 REIMBURSEMENTS Federal State Net cost to town GENERAL RELIEF There was an average of 8 General Relief cases during the year.

This is the last year that this report will have a breakdown under Vendor Payments re medical and other payments, due to the fact that all medicals will now be paid under Medical Assist - 114 ance and not separately by categories.

Staples, Director REPORT OF THE DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION FOR 1966. The volume of service provided in Yarmouth by the Dis- trict Nursing Association of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis has increased considerably above 1965. We served 303 in- dividuals of 260 different Yarmouth families For Nursing Care Home visits 1274 For Nursing Care Office visits 250 Maternity Home visits 359 Health Guidance Home visits 125 Tuberculosis Home visits 18 Miscellaneous Home visits 95 Total Yarmouth visits 2121 For the past several years we have been concerned with the lack of immunization among pre-school children. In March, 1966 we began an immunization program for infants and pre-school children at our Well Child Clinics. A schedule of immunization is followed for Diphtheria ; Measles Per- tussis; Polio and Tetanus as well as "Tine" testing for Tub- erculosis is done. We are grateful to the following physicians who volunteer their services at these clinics : Doctors Elroy Anderson ; Forrest Beam ; Gerald Hazard ; Paul Jaques and Harry Sobel. In addition to the monthly clinics, last year we set up two special clinics to provide immunization against measles. There was a total attendance from Yarmouth of 90 infants and pre-school children. The staff appreciate the assistance and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Amelia C. Beauregard Executive Director REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1966. Present number of active services 5586 New services installed 437 118 Gallons of water pumped 378,917,787 1966 was another banner year for the Water Department with receipts from water revenue up to $293,141.56. This is approximately $23,000.00 more than 1965. We expect revenue and service expansion to increase steadily for some time to come. The department is installing new services at an average of over 400 per year. As those of you who have met with the Commissioners in their office on Union Street know, the space and office equipment there is inadequate to carry on the daily work load. It is, in fact, the same office that was used in 1946. At that time there were 231 services as compared to the present num- ber of 5586. Therefore, the Commissioners are planning to enlarge and better equip the office in a two or three year program. This will enable the department to serve the public with a great deal more efficiency. Although there seemed to be a tightness in money in 1966 and the building and development businesses seemed to slow down, you may be surprised to know that our re- quests for money under the departments private develop- ment article is up to a new high of $111,000.00 as compared to $75,000.00 in 1966. This shows, without a doubt, that the growth of Yarmouth is still in high gear. Also, in the line of expansion and looking into the future, we would like to report on the progress of the Plashes well - field. Due to the diligence and hard work of John Hart, Town Counsel and John Newton, Town Engineer, the title work has been fully completed and the plan of land has been updated. It is expected that negotiations with known owners will have been completed by the middle of February and the title to all parcels will be in the Town of Yarmouth before town meeting . As reported in previous years, the department is still planning a capital expenditure program for 1968. At that time the 1953 bond issue will be retired and it is our intention to ask the townspeople to vote the same amount of money for the development of the Plashes welifield and major main extensions. In closing we would like to thank the townspeople for their support of the Water Department and its programs. To varify your good judgment we are pleased to say that the Town of Yarmouth was one of the very few towns that had no water shortage this past year. We are also happy to say we expect no water supply problems for years to come and can state with pride "use all the water you want but please 119 do not waste it". Water is one of our most precious com- modities. BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS Roger G. Edwards, Jr. Frederick J. Thacher Elwin W. Coombs ANNUAL REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH EIRE DEPARTMENT January 24, 1967 To the Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : The following is the Annual Report of the Fire Depart- ment for the year 1966: Number of Alarms 295 Alarms for fires Residential 36 Non -Residential Assembly 5 Mercantile 6 Manufacturing 3 Grass & Brush 63 All other fires 25 Alarms for Non -Fires False 2 Honest mistakes, smoke scares, etc. 20 Automobile accidents, gasoline wash -downs 17 Boat rescues 3 Lost children 3 Gas leak & range explosion 2 Bomb reported in School Buildings 3 Mutual Aid to other Towns 3 Violation investigations 49 Other investigations 55 Response by stations for alarms & Still alarms Headquarters Station 2 Station 3 Alarms 47 28 30 Still alarms 85 65 40 Value of Buildings & Contents involved by fire $618,450.00 Loss of Buildings & Contents paid by insurance 35,961.83 120 Fires by Causes : Careless smoking 16 Children with matches 16 Electricity, appliances, cords and wires 14 Furnaces, stoves, heating apparatus 10 Chimney 1 Careless disposal of burning materials 10 Malicious intent 3 Clothes dryers (Commercial) 5 Permits out of control or in violation 21 Wiring (automobiles) 14 Overheated brakes (trucks) 2 Broken fuel lines (tractors) 2 Gasoline spill (boats) 1 Unknown causes 17 Automatic alarms from protected buildings 6 Radio calls recorded 6,323 Fire permits issued 1,475 Inspections and investigations by the Bureau of Fire Pre- vention: Nursing Homes 10 Schools 12 Licensed Innkeepers 20 Public Safety (building capacities, etc.) 8 Chlorine Storage 52 Retail and Mercantile 3 Oil Burners (166 applications for installation) 302 Underground tanks 14 Investigations 7 Total 428 The above inspections and investigations and related reports required a total of 224 3/4 hours. Not included in this report are inspections by the Deputy Chief of this de- partment covering gas appliance and heating installations. This report will be found elsewhere in the Town Report un- der the Gas Inspectors annual report. The apparatus and equipment of the fire department is in good condition although two pieces of apparatus are get- ting to the point of replacement. One of these is 27 years old and is scheduled for replacement next year. The other is 24 years old and is scheduled for replacement in 1971. If the method of using the Stabilization Fund can be continued and $7,000 or $8,000 a year is voted for fire apparatus re- placement the program can be workable and the impact on the 121 tax rate will be much less when a piece of apparatus is pur- chased for replacement of old equipment. Three articles will appear in the Warrant this year by request of the fire department. One is asking that a sum of money be voted to be added to the Stabilization Fund, an- other is requesting a sum of money to trade the 1962 auto- mobile used by the chief of the fire department, and a third is asking for $1,200.00 to enlarge one overhead door opening at station 2 in Yarmouthport so that a new engine scheduled for Yarmouthport in 1968 will fit in the building. Delivery of a new 1000 gallon pumping engine built by Maxim Motor Division of Middleboro was made on March 2, 1966 and this unit was put in service on March 13, 1966. It is assigned to station 3 in West Yarmouth and replaced a 1943 military vehicle. With this engine at West Yarmouth, the fire defense in that area has been greatly improved. In observance of Fire Prevention Week in October this year all vehicles of the fire department were placed on dis- play at the South Yarmouth Shopping Plaza. A large atten- dance by taxpayers of the Town was appreciated. This gave us an opportunity to explain various features of the equip- ment and its uses. I want to acknowledge the co-operation this department received from residents of the Town and from the various departments of the Town. The support and efforts of the offi- cers and men of the department and of the Fire Belles (our ladies auxiliary) is deeply appreciated. Respectfully Submitted. Dana H. Whittemore Chief, Fire Department ASSESSORS REPORT - 1966 It gives us great pleasure to submit to you, the Taxpay- ers, our report for the year 1966.

It has appointed a full time executive director to help carry out commission activities and to serve as a clearing house for all towns on the Cape to seek information or advice on various phases of planning and development. The new director is E. Fletcher Davis of Falmouth who has worked as a professional planning consultant in several areas, and most recently was overseeing planning work in Orleans and Chatham. Commission, too, is completing its initial phase of the study of Cape needs and problems, and is seeking Federal matching funds to go into a far-ranging study which will touch on just about every facet of Cape Cod's development, from water to sewage, conservation to zoning, and transpor- tation to beaches. When the studies are completed it is hoped the com- mission will be ready and able to assist any town that seeks its help to more intelligently and adequately plan for its fu- ture and its needs. The commission also has been aiding five Cape towns in their efforts to obtain the rights-of-way of the New Haven Railroad through their towns. Since the State Department of Natural Resources also is seeking this land, it is not yet known if the towns and commission or the State will be suc- cessful in this venture. But the work has shown the value of the commission to act as a spokesman for a group of communities with differ- ent viewpoints and different plans for the land involved. Hopes are high that the commission which has been a long time in coming into being, will succeed in make Cape Cod's future well planned and intelligently carried out so that the Cape can continue to grow and yet retain the very Cape flavor that has made it so popular with new residents and visitors.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is again with pleasure that I submit my annual report as principal of the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. This year, I have asked Miss Marguerite Small, Assistant Principal at the West Yarmouth Elementary School, Mr. James Clarke, Assistant Principal at the South Yarmouth Ele- mentary School, and Mr. Gregory Drake, Vice -Principal in charge of the John Simpkins School to submit a report for their respective buildings. It is my hope that such an ar- rangement will prove valuable in providing the people of the Town of Yarmouth with a greater knowledge of the school program. The chief event for the 1966 school year would be the approval, at a special town meeting in December of money, needed to construct a new middle school on Town owned land at West Yarmouth. This new facility, when completed, will provide the areas for curriculum expansion and the new emerging education of tomorrow. The funding of special educational projects by the Fed- eral Government is having a far reaching effect throughout the nation. The Yarmouth school system, with the approval of the school committee, has been diligent in this matter. A Title I project, for a six -weeks summer school for seventy-two disadvantaged pupils was held at the West Yarmouth Ele- mentary School with members of the staff as instructors. The new materials and techniques employed produced excellent results. The money for this program was provided by a Fed- eral Grant. Title II concerns library materials and books. Under this program Yarmouth received approximately twen- ty-four hundred dollars. Title III, under the National Defense Educational Act, is a matching program which provides visual - aids and educational equipment in the fields of science, math- ematics, history, geography, reading, civics, and English. Yarmouth has received considerable assistance from this act in the past and will continue to do so in the future. At this writing, under Title III of the Elementary and Secondary School Acts, Yarmouth is joining with several school depart- ments to obtain funds for a summer seminar in the field of elementary mathematics. The West Yarmouth Elementary School building and the 157 modernized program of the Yarmouth school system has created considerable attention in educational circles. Many administrators, supervisors, members of school committees, and teachers have been visitors at the modern plant at West Yarmouth. An outstanding visitor during the summer was Dr. Potis K. Georgountzos, Prime Minister of Education and President of the Educational Council of Athens, Greece, who made an extensive survey of schools throughout the United States, termed the West Yarmouth school the best he had seen. In closing, I wish to extend my thanks to you, Mr. Ken- yon, Superintendent of Schools, the Yarmouth School Com- mittee, the assistant principals and vice-principal, the super- visors, the teachers, and all other school personnel for the continued coop ation and assistance during the past school re. Ell/EP TOWS CLERK & TREASURER submitted, (S0.) YARMOUTH, MASS. Osborne W. Bearse Principal REPORT OF THE VICE PRINCIPAL, JOHN SIMPKINS SCHOOL Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : Of primary importance is the news concerning the prep- aration of plans to construct a new middle school building adjacent to the West Yarmouth Elementary School grounds. With great anticipation the faculty await the completion of this building which will provide a broader curriculum allow- ing pupils to learn by "doing" rather than limited to simply listening. All subjects and areas taught are of vital importance and therefore we are pleased that the Yarmouth School Building Needs Committee chaired by Mr. Kenneth Studley and ad- vised by Mr. Kenyon and Mr. Bearse, recommended ample space for choral groups, band, orchestra, and arts and crafts which inevitably gives the faculty a feeling of complete ac- complishment in teaching the pupils. We realize as did some great teachers in the past - such as Pestalozzi and Dewey - that the student must be taught completely; that is, he should be given exposure and/or the opportunity to participate in many and varied activities. 158 Faculty additions were necessary this year because of an increased enrollment and faculty resignations. I, therefore, wish to welcome Mrs. Matthews, home economics ; Mrs. Meservey, language arts, social studies" and reading; Miss Langton, language arts ; Mr. Getchell, science and mathe- matics ; and Mr. Barabe, a new custodian at the John Simp- kins School. This year, to alleviate some of the heavy load from the teachers, we added more divisions to give us a total of six divisions in each of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. This necessitated using the auditorium as a classroom for a num- ber of areas such as language arts, social studies, music and sewing. The sewing room has been converted into a class- room. These changes have curtailed most of our auditorium activities such as class performances and holiday programs. Mr. Howard Garton, one of our custodians' for many years reached retirement age and officially resigned as of June, 1966. A get-together was held in his honor by the per- sonnel of the John Simpkins School and all participants wish- ed him well in his retirement years. The Iowa Tests of Basic Skills and the Gates Reading Tests were given to students of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades during February which tests the students achieve- ment in reading, vocabulary, language arts, work study skills and mathematics. The Otis Quick Scoring Mental Maturity Test was also given to all the pupils in grade seven. Activities were held for the students this year such as dances, class elections, industrial arts trip, spring festival, athletic events, orientation day, graduation exercises, and the graduation dance. The events listed above provide impor- tant educational needs for pupils of this age group. In closing, I would like to express my appreciation to Mr. Kenyon, Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Bearse, Prin- cipal, the Yarmouth School Committee, members of the John Simpkins School faculty and all other school personnel for their assistance and cooperation during this school year. Respectfully submitted, Gregory Drake Vice Principal 159 REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL, SOUTH YARMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is with pleasure that I submit my report as Assistant Principal of the South Yarmouth Elementary School. I firmly believe that children must be happy in order to learn and it is this comfortable atmosphere that we have tried to create. If we have been successful, it is due to the work of the teachers, with the able assistance of our fine secretarial, cafeteria, and custodial staffs. With an enrollment of four hundred and ten (410) students, we are met with increasing space needs. The build- ing of our new middle school may help ease this situation. Every day opens new ideas in education. We try to follow where research is pointing. In grouping our children by levels, we are striving to come as close to individualized teaching as possible. We feel we have freed both the teach- ers and the children from the self-contained classroom. Along with modern mathematics there has been a re- vitalisation in the areas of English and social studies. It is based on high interest books and materials. Group work, projects, gathering of information, and interpretation of ma- terial into oral and written reports gives the student a feeling of success and accomplishment. The future demand for education in all fields of en- deavor has never been as great as it is today. The ungraded school is becoming a reality. Soon children will be moving through the school at their own rate of speed. The schools must change their educational programs to meet the needs of future generations. We have had many activities marking special holidays and occasions. As in past years, the South Yarmouth Womens' Club has celebrated Arbor Day with us by the planting of a tree on our school grounds. In closing, may I express my thanks to you, Mr. Ken- yon, to the School Committee, to Mr. Bearse, all the super- visors and personnel for their cooperation in making the past year one of progress for our children. Respectfully submitted, James J. Clarke, Jr. Assistant Principal 160 REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL WEST YARMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : As assistant principal, I am happy to submit a report of the progress of the West Yarmouth Elementary School for the year 1966. In the four years since the opening of the West Yar- mouth Elementary School in February, 1963, the school has grown rapidly both in the number of pupils and in the op- portunities for learning which are offered. Because of the foresight of those who planned the building and who organiz- ed the program of studies, the school has adapted itself well to rapid growth. The grades are increasing in size and all available class- rooms are in use. The necessity of adding four new class- rooms this year has meant the loss of the science and music rooms as part of our materials center. These rooms are now serving as fourth grade classrooms. The present first grade numbers 114 and a kindergarten class of 177 boys and girls promises large first grades for both the South and West Yar- mouth Elementary Schools next September. The levels system of learning used in the Yarmouth schools, an adaptation of team teaching and the ungraded school, is proving its value. This system aids each pupil to work comfortably at his own rate and encourages independ- dence and initiative. Teachers have the opportunity to work in the subject area in which they have the most to offer and which offers them the greatest challenge. Under the direction of Mr. Meehan, educational techni- cian for the Yarmouth schools, the service of our library center has been increased to include not only an excellent collection of books but also records, filmstrips and viewers which pupils may borrow. At nearly all times during each day this center is in use with activities ranging from story hour and intro- duction to the pleasure of choosing one's own book for the younger children to individual research projects and super- vised studies of the older groups. The science program has advanced in keeping with the rapid progress in the field of science. In the area of nature study, we have been aided by Mr. Marshall Case of the Brewster Museum of Natural Science. With his cooperation, 161 real animals and birds have lived in the large outdoor cage adjacent to the materials center. At present two lively rac- coons are the delight of the entire school. Both the physical and mental atmosphere of the school are conducive to the growth of our boys and girls. In spite of, or perhaps, because of these advantages, our boys and girls will continue to require more and varied materials to challenge reasoning and initiative, learning situations to direct ther enthusiasm and new and greater opportunities to develop in creativity. We are privileged in having a teaching staff who are sincerely interested in their work and in their pupils. We are fortunate, too, in the leadership of Mr. Kenyon and Mr. Bearse, the advice and assistance of Mrs. Gott and Miss Garoufes, our supervisors, and in the wise direction of an in- formed school committee. Respectfully submitted, Marguerite E. Small Assistant Principal SUPERVISOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : At one time a pupil was considered a good student if he was a storehouse of information, and he obtained a good mark for memorized right answers. He was not supposed to think but merely to give back correctly what he had learned. Today we are trying to develop inquiring, creative, specu- lating boys and girls who will be able to take their places as independent thinkers and leaders, not simply as unquestion- ing followers. Every effort is extended to give them a wider knowledge at an earlier age and to insure that they have all the facilities for learning that these modern times can provide. Children are by nature inquisitive. They are filled with a curiosity which should be encouraged. It should be utilized by teachers to stimulate children's natural thirst for knowl- edge and to train them to think for themselves, to reason, and to question further. Modern schools with modern facilities are necessary to develop this type of individual and to permit the modern 162 better methods of teaching to be carried out. Extensive li- braries for research and laboratories for experimentation are no longer frills of education. They are an essential part of it. Crowded classrooms could eventually have a paralyzing effect on what, up to this time, has been progress. During my eight years as supervisor I have seen adminis- trators and teachers constantly working toward these_ changes, which, it is heartening to realize, have been for the better. We are successful in our endeavor because of the dedi- cated people on our staffs. Success comes only by the united efforts of each individual connected with our schools. Publishers are aware of the changes taking place in edu- cation and new texts are written with these educational ad- vances in mind. It is necessary for administrators and teach- ers to review these texts constantly to be sure we have the best materials available. Mainly, this is the duty of the su- pervisor. I work with both teachers and pupils. I must be reason- ably sure that children are placed in the level where they can be successful. It is important that a careful study be made of the abilites of new people entering our system for the first time. Since September 270 new pupils have entered our. union. Placement is based on test results, previous academic records, attitudes toward work, and teacher recommendation.' Twelve new teachers have been added to our staffs this school year, some of whom are teaching for the first time, and some to whom our philosophy is unfamiliar. As part of in-service training for these people, meetings are held every month where there is opportunity for free discussion of subjects and problems. Ideas may be exchanged, the cur- riculum and textbooks may be reviewed, and help given by the veteran teachers to newcomers. I cannot help feeling a sense of satisfaction and pride as I look at the overall picture of our schools in Union #11. I extend my appreciation to you, Mr. Kenyon, to the School Committee, and to the Principals, for help and confidence. I also wish to thank the school personnel for their cooperation, without which my job would be difficult. Respectfully submitted, Ellen Gott Supervisor of Elementary Education 163 REPORT OF THE READING SUPERVISOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : Today, schools everywhere are critically evaluating their reading programs and seeking ways and means of improving reading instruction. The developmental reading program, a sequential plan of instruction designed to produce the skilled and enthusiastic reader, is concerned with maximum progress for every student. As the child progresses into the upper grades, there is a shift in emphasis away from learning to read as an end in itself toward utilizing reading as the es- sential learning tool. Reading instruction in a developmental program must be based on defined objectives if the desired results are to be achieved. Long range goals for a program providing for instruction in basic skills necessary to master reading as a means of learning include the development of : vocabulary meanings, word analysis skills, comprehension skills, organization skills, location skills, and interpretation skills. A reading program with emphasis on the subject matter or content area provides guidance in adapting basic skills to the specialized reading required in these areas and in intro- ducing other reading skills. Skills pertinent to achievement in the content fields include : reading for details and direc- tions, evaluating materials, organizing ideas, outlining, note taking, map and graph reading, and skimming. The new Harper & Row Basic Reading Program, which has been adopted this year by the Yarmouth schools for grades one through six, is such a program which guides the pupils in the development of the full spectrum of reading skills and provides the opportunity for the transference of the basic reading skills to the subject -matter areas. To insure that the adopted objectives of the reading pro- gram are being met and to ascertain the progress of students in reading are two major purposes for evaluation which should be continuous and a part of the instructional program. In obtaining this evidence, both formal and informal methods are used. Survey tests .are used to assess the reading achieve- ment of students in the entire school system or individual classrooms. Diagnostic tests are used primarily for individuals having problems with reading or with groups to better ap- praise class needs. These tests probe in depth specific skills 164 areas to determine needs and to aid in arranging for correc- tive work. Your cooperation, Mr. Kenyon, and that of the principals, Mrs. Gott, teachers, and other school personnel is greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted, Kalliope G. Garoufes Reading Supervisor REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR Grades 1 - 4 Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is with pleasure that I submit my first annual report to the Town of Yarmouth. Art is a medium, through which the individual can exploit and define both himself and those persons and things which constitute his surroundings. Fora child, this process of ex- ploiting and creating plays a vital role in his development. Being introduced to, and making use of the many media with which he can express himself in art, a youngster begins to form a clear and complete picture of himself as an individual and also as a part of society. Children should be introduced to many media. Through exploration of these media, they soon learn which ones best suit their need for expression. I have encouraged . them to discuss their work with classmates as well as with teachers, for expression lies within the individual and in his ability to communicate with and to others. If varied media are to be introduced and used, by the children, to their fullest extent, I suggest that more time be allotted for art in the school curriculum. Sufficient time must be allowed for the introduction and exploration of new media before a final project can be undertaken successfully. A child cannot express himself through any media unless he has acquired some working knowledge of its limitations and of his own ability to use that media. Under the present schedule of art during alternate weeks, the above aims are not entirely possible. Respectfully submitted, Susan W. Tichenor Art Supervisor 165 REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR Grades 5 - 8 Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : Art education in the upper elementary grades today at- tempts to interest the pupil in expressing ideas and events that are important to him at his particular stage of growth and development. In attempting to appreciate some of the pic- tures that this youngster takes home, one must realize that drawing, as a skill, is relatively unimportant to a pre-high- schooler; that is, he is not interested in how well he can draw an object. He is, on the other hand, interested in draw- ing objects that have a meaning to him. This level of art education is known as creative expres- sion, and it is in this area that I am mostly concerned as art supervisor in grades 5 through 8. Working mostly with cray- ons during forty -minute periods once a week, my pupils en- counter various art problems designed to stimulate their interests. Also, I give drawing demonstrations with crayons, illus- trating how such a medium can be converted from a toy to a tool. In some classes however, we have also begun to ex- plore other media. At this time I should like to thank everyone in the Den- nis -Yarmouth School Union for their cooperation and help, particularly the principals and vice -principals under whose jurisdiction I work. Truly, Robert Hebert ART SUPERVISOR REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : The day after school opens in September, I form a band made up of students who have played for one or more years. This band gives demonstrations to the fourth grades in each 166 school, and the various band instruments are explained and described. Rental forms are given to interested pupils, and in about two weeks beginners start instruction. They receive two lessons a week, in homogeneous classes. Second year students receive one lesson a week in homo- geneous classes when possible, and also have one period of band. Grades six, seven, and eight are grouped into hetero- geneous classes and receive one period of instruction, plus one period of band. The Yarmouth middle school to be constructed should enable us to have a fine instrumental program. The bands from South Yarmouth, West Yarmouth, and Ezra Baker perform for school functions in their respective schools, as well as a combined concert with Dennis at the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. I wish to thank Mr. Bearse, Mr. Drake, Miss Small, Mr. Clarke, and all school faculty members and custodians for the fine cooperation extended to me during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Richard G. LaPorte, Jr. Instrumental Music Supervisor REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF STRINGED INSTRUMENTS Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : The stringed instrument department is this year, I believe, progressing along the course as originally planned. This is to eventually have a school orchestra. It is too soon yet to have developed the strings to the point of excellence we look for but it is showing steady improvement. Our call for young stringed instrument players produced some encouraging talent. Aside from the usual number of violins we acquired another cello (now 3) and a viola. This will complete the string section and give excellent balance to our orchestra. Orchestra folios have been ordered and received. To the strings will be added brass and woodwinds from Mr. La- Porte's group. This will be the start of a school orchestra. 167 The stringed instrument concert last spring was attended by the parents who listened to their children play solos, duets, quartets, as well as ensemble numbers. All were well received. Once again, I wish to thank the faculty and teachers for their cooperation in arranging lesson and orchestra time. Respectfully submitted, Frank Cornwell Supervisor of Stringed instruments REPORT OF THE VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR Grades K - 4 Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: The experience gained from a year's teaching in Yar- mouth and Dennis has been invaluable in my second year of teaching. Knowing the children, I have been able to help those with individual problems in singing and responding to creative activities. In Kindergarten, first and second grade classes, I have placed an emphasis on the response to rote songs, guided creative activities and free creative activities. The playing of rhythm instruments has aided in their rhythmic development. In the third and fourth grade classes, I have placed an emphasis on the recognition of musical notes and symbols, an understanding of music reading with syllables and a response to the listening of music by various composers. Given throughout the year, the activities as named above, the children should develop a richer and fuller music back- ground. Respectfully Submitted, Karen Moniz Vocal Music Grades K-4 REPORT OF THE VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR Grades 5 - 8 Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : The prime purpose of our music program is to present 168 such a variety of experiences that each child may discover some phase of musical activity he will really enjoy and which will make him a happier more complete person. "They make music while learning.' "They learn music while making." For the past seven years vocal music in our system has followed an orderly sequence. Basic skills are developed so that they function in later learning. Our text books, Music For Young Americans, have not changed but their use has broadened. Select, up -dated material is introduced in the classroom for further enrichment of the student. Music listen- ing has tun the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous — Handel's Messiah to the Monkeys. Because time and space are prohibitive the work with rhythm band instruments is curtailed. Briefly, our music program follows these aims : 1. Good voice production 2. Knowledge of simple music figures in syllables 3. Understanding of music symbols and verbiage 4. Appreciation of the music of master composers 5. Involvement with the music and customs of many lands 6. Ability to make use of accumulative music skills in individual and group performance The enthusiasm of the students for special projects is still high. They enjoy voluntary reports on composer's lives, trav- eling bulletin boards, the Top - Pop ladder, and weekly re- ports on what's happening in the world of music. I visit four Elementary Schools in the towns of Dennis and Yarmouth. Music is an integral part of each week's gen- eral curriculum reaching approximately 1,000 students. I am grateful for the efforts of the administration, the teachers, and other school personnel ; and most especially the parents who make this program a continued success in the year 1966. We wish to guide all children in those experiences that will lead to the understanding and enjoyment of the art of music. Respectfully submitted, Beverly S. Counsell Music Supervisor Grades 5 - 8 169 REPORT OF THE FRENCH SUPERVISOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : I believe the ability to converse as freely as possible should be the chief aim of the French program in the junior high school. The degree to which the student will achieve this ability of course will vary. All students in the two high- est levels in grades seven and eight take advantage of the French program. The ability to converse is achieved by what may be called the "Mauger" method. Unlike the audio -lingual or the strict traditional method, the Mauger method enables the student to converse in French from the very beginning. No English appears in the Mauger text whatsoever. Conversation, vo- cabulary and grammatical constructions of course become in- creasingly difficult as the student progresses. Basic rules of verb conjugation, the various tenses and other grammatical points are introduced in their proper place. Oral recitations are often required and dictations in French are frequent. A reader containing fifteen short stories is in- troduced in January of the first year. Filmstrips and ac- companying records are also used to aid the student's pro- nunciation. In the spring of the second year a comprehensive test is given to all students having taken part in the French program. Those students who do exceptionally well in the examination and desire to continue their study of French are placed in a special advanced class at the high school. I would again like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the administration, the faculty and all other school personnel for their continued cooperation and assistance. Respectfully submitted, Ernest A. Deneault Supervisor of French 170 REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is with pleasure I submit my annual report as Super- visor of Boys' Physical Education in the Yarmouth Elemen- tary Schools. The physical well being and health of our young people is the primary concern of our physical education pro- gram. Physical fitness is but one aspect of fitness. However, it is a very significant aspect and one which is basic to other forms of excellence. Efforts to improve physical fitness should be carried on with full regard for all fitness qualities - spirit- ual, mental, emotional, and social. Our school program em- phasizes the physical aspect of fitness as part of total fitness. It consists of the following activities and participations. Boys' physical education is offered and required of all boys in the Yarmouth Elementary School. The third to sixth grade boys have one period a week and the seventh and eighth grade boys have two periods a week. The program consists of calesthenics, individual and team games with emphasis on fundamentals and rules, gymnastics and self -testing activities which include tumbling and fundamental work on the ap- paratus. Our program also includes an extensive after school ath- lethic program in soccer, basketball, baseball, and informal track, to provide a situation for the students to acquire and display fundamental skills developed in our program, and further provide an area where they can display the social attributes, sportsmanship, teamwork, etc. Again this year our Saturday morning basketball has grown. We now have 160 boys in grades four, five, and six participating at the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School gymnasium, and 100 boys in grades seven and eight partici- pating at the Ezra H. Baker gymnasium. Mr. WiIIiam Chap- man, Mr. Stephen Howes, Mr. Merrill Wilson, and Mr. Wil- liam Griffith are the instructors at the Ezra H. Baker School. Mr. Freeman Cash, Mr. James Clarke, Mr. Richard Maxwell, Mr. Louis Drake, Mr. Joseph Aldridge, and Mr. Daniel Camp- bell are instructors at the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. 171 Again I would like to thank Mr. Freeman Cash for his able assistance in helping to carry out the athletic program. Also I would like to express my appreciation to you, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse, Mr. Gregory Drake, Miss Marguerite Small, Mr. James Clarke, teachers, and parents for your co- operation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Daniel Campbell Supervisor of Boys' Physical Education REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : The physical education program for the girls in grades one through eight and boys in grades one and two is carried on with constant concern for their physical, mental, social, and emotional growth. We start with very simple games, rhythms, stunts, tumbling, and self -testing activities progress- ing to more complicated forms of these as well as team games and sports. With forty-two different classes on my schedule, some of which I see twice weekly and some once every other week, you can imagine my delight in knowing that a new school is on the way. We look forward eagerly to seeing the young- sters more frequently and to enlarging our after school pro- gram for them. This report offers me a welcomed opportunity to thank you, Mr. Kenyon, the principals, the school personnel, and the parents of the Yarmouth children for your continuing support of our program. Respectfully submitted, Anne S. Emery Supervisor of Girls' Physical Ed. 172 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL HEALTH DEPARTMENT Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : I am pleased to submit my annual report as school nurse for the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. My time is divided among the John Simpkins, South Yarmouth, and West Yar- mouth schools. Early in the school year students are measured and weighed. Annual physical examinations, as required by law, were given to children in grades one, four, and seven by the school physician, Dr. Herman Howes, assisted by the nurse. All students in grade eight participating in physical fitness program were also examined by Dr. Howes. All health ob- servations were recorded on cumulative health cards by the nurse. Physical defects discovered during the examinations were reported to the parents. Routine eye and ear examinations were given to all stu- dents. Parents were notified of any defects found and most of them received prompt attention. During the school year a few requests from the family physicians of students for hear- ing tests to be given, were fulfilled and audiograms with the results were sent to the assigned. In January through May, Mrs. Alice Dalzell, Dental Hy- genist from the Barnstable County Health Department, with parental consent, administered Sodium Floride treatments to the students in second and fifth grades in the West Yarmouth and South Yarmouth Elementary Schools. Students in the first, third, and fourth grades of the same schools had their teeth cleaned and examined by Mrs. Dalzell. A report con- cerning each student was sent home. In May booster inocculations for Diphtheria and Titanus were given to students in the fourth grades. Dr. Herman Howes administered one hundred and twenty-two inoccula- tions, assisted by the nurse, to students in the West Yar- mouth, and South Yarmouth Schools. In closing I wish to thank everyone for their cooperation and courtesy extended to me during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Marion E. Chapman R.N. School Nurse 173 ATTENDANCE OFFICER'S REPORT Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : For the year ending December 31, 1966 I have investi- gated twenty-one (21) cases of truancy and made reports to the proper authorities in each case. Respectfully submitted, Marion E. Chapman R.N. Supervisor of Attendance ADULT EDUCATION REPORT Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is my pleasure to submit my annual report of the Adult Education Program in the Town of Yarmouth. Registration, held on September 26 and 27 from 7 :00 - 8:30 P.M., at the John Simpkins School, was well attended this year as in the past, resulting in a total registration of 388 students—an increase of 13% over last year's registration. On March 9 an open house exhibit was held and the hundreds of projects were admired and viewed by approximately 400 people in attendance. I wish to welcome to our staff Mr. Camille Houde who is our new woodworking instructor and Mr. Wayne Salminen, Jr., his assistant. Also this year, we are pleased to have with us Mr. Edward Barabe, our new custodian.

Toward the end of the summer an attractive proposal was presented for our consideration. The developer of the Buck Island Mall pointed out to the Selectmen the importance of the Buck Island Road to the success of his plans. Asking no alteration of our plan or special consideration, he offered the Town, in addition to a portion of his land, up to $150,000. toward construction costs of the road if the Mall were built. This figure represents half of the estimated road cost. The taxes on this proposed installation alone would amortize Yarmouth's cost in about three years. The Traffic Committee felt that this generous offer should be presented to the Townspeople for their consideration at the Octo- ber Special Town Meeting. Realizing that a Special Town Meeting was not the ideal time to present such a large Bond Package, it was felt further delay would be costly. Another reason for early action was to take advantage of the assurance that had been given by representatives of the Massachusetts Department of Public Works that if the Funds for construction were voted, they would provide the design work, involving grades, drainage, road cross- ings, etc. as well as preparation of bids and an engineer to super- vise construction so that work would be up to Chapter 90 Stand- ards, thereby saving the Town upwards of $25,000. The vote of confidence reflected by the Article's passage was most gratifying. There has been some criticism voiced to the effect that we should have brought in our proposal for all three roads and asked for $1,000,000. instead of only $300,000. This thinking has tremen- dous merit and we compliment those holding this view for it repre- sents atn awareness of the economic impact that can result from Buck Island Road as well as the potential tax revenue that will re- sult from Old Town House Road which borders Yarmouth's In- dustrial Zone. Perhaps this could be the basis for establishing a Yarmouth Economic Development Committee to bring in other desirable activities to help share our tax load. The Committee is now exerting every effort to get the other roads in finished form. As the engineers work on these layouts, connector roads, and trouble areas are being considered. The Committee's meetings are open. We not only invite, we request, that anyone with suggestions or advice present their 92 thoughts to us. The members of the Committee do not feel they have a monopoly on ideas ; other than our right -arm, Town En- gineer John Newton, there are no professionals represented. With your mutual cooperation we will bring about the best road plan Yarmouth can devise. Respectfully Submitted, Yarmouth Traffic Committee GOLF COURSE COMMITTEE'S REPORT Despite intense competition and a rainy summer the Bass River Golf Course has again completed a successful year of opera- tion. Income for 1967 amounted to $92,365.00 or $2500. less than last year's total of $94,895. Aside from income produced we feel this facility provides an asset of increasing recreational value to both our own townspeople and our guests. The past year has brought many changes. The resignation of Attorney Peter M. Sykes from our Commission was accepted with genuine regret. His willing and exceptional service to the Town in this capacity can be accurately described as an outstanding con- tribution. New members of the Commission appointed during the past year were Attorney Charles Ardito and Kittredge Holmes. We would also like to report the Pro -Manager, Walter Hewins and Course Superintendent, John Morse have completed their first year of service in a very creditable manner. Appreciation of their efforts has been expressed vocally by Commission members and golfers alike. It is appropriate to share with you our conviction that we must continue to improve both the condition of our course and the ser- vices that we offer to our golfers in order to compete with the many new courses around us. To this end special articles have been inserted in this year's Town Meeting warrant requesting funds for the completing of the automation of our irrigation sys- tem, and also the installation of power golf carts (leased), and a shell building to house them. We are certain that these important steps are appropriate and should not be delayed. COMMISSIONERS : Nye Crowell, Chairman Lloyd L. Simmons, Secretary Darrell R. Shepherd Charles J.

Beauregard Executive Director REPORT OF THE WATERWAYS COMMITTEE The Town of Yarmouth Waterways Committee was authorized by Article H of the 1967 Annual Town Meeting and was to consist of one Selectman, the Harbor Master and five members at large to be appointed by the Selectmen. The first meeting of the Committee was held on April 13, 1967 with all members present. Elected as Chairman was Selectman Howard Marchant and member -at -large Wallace C. Liberty, as Secretary. It was voted to meet the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. During the first year of its operation, the Committee has made a comprehensive survey of the waterway facilities of the Town and found that, even though almost three-quarters of the Town is bound- ed by water, Yarmouth offers or provides few either Town or com- mercially owned facilities for the pleasure or commercial boat. As the result of this survey, which also included inland waters, the Committee compiled a list of 22 projects which it felt would benefit the Town and began an immediate study on two of these ; 94 one to improve the boating and beach facilities at Gray's Beach, Yarmouth Port; and two, the improvement of dockage and facili- ties at Packet Landing, South Yarmouth. The results of these two studies were transmitted to the Park Commissioners. The Committee has also been working with the Conservation Commission in the rebuilding and improving of the Herring Run at the head of Swan Pond, South Yarmouth, with completion of the work scheduled for the Spring of 1968. Among other accomplishments of the Waterways Committee was the marking of the small boat channel in Mill Creek, West Yarmouth; obtaining aerial photographs of navigation channels for year to year shoaling comparison ; the increase in light intensity of the Bass River breakwater light by the Coast Guard and pre- liminary studies of several of the 22 projects. The Committee has recommended to the Selectmen for 1968 Annual Town Meeting action the transfer of the care, maintenance and supervision of Packet Landing from the Park Department back to the Selectmen ; the appropriation of a sum of money for the re- pair of the Packet Landing bulkhead ; and a sum of money for addi- tional lights and water at the same bulkhead. Respectfully Submitted Howard Marchant, Chairman Wallace C. Liberty, Secretary John L. Silver, Jr., Harbor Master Morris I. Johnson, Jr., Shellfish Warden Franklin T. Greene Robert J. Williams, Sr. Robert D. Sullivan REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT January 4, 1968 To the Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth : The year of 1967 has seen changes for the Engineering De- partment. We have moved into our new quarters at the Town Office building, which are now at the west end of the basement. These offices are quite a change from the one room in which the department operated for the past seven years. The additional space enables us to add one more drafting table, for a total of three, 95 in our drafting room, a separate print room, an outer office with file space and a private office for consultation. The aerial photos, which were voted at the previous Town Meeting, have proved to be very useful in all phases of our work, particularly that work for the Traffic Committee, the Waterways Committee, the Planning Board and the Board of Assessors. The preparation of Road layouts and Planning Board Inspections con- tinues to be a major portion of our work, as back land continues to be developed at a rapid rate. Keeping Assessors maps up to date and plotting of new subdivisions has now become a continuous year round process and five new maps were printed for the first time this year. We would like to thank all Town Officials and other helpful citizens for their cooperation in the fulfillment of our duties. Respectfully submitted, John L.

Nickerson Sealer REPORT OF YARMOUTH INDIANS BASEBALL CLUB December 26, 1967 To : The Honorable Board of Selectmen Yarmouth Town Office South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen : More and more the consensus of opinion seems to be that Yar- mouth should not support a Town Team. As a Sports minded citi- zen and as General Manager for the last four years I feel this would be a mistake for Yarmouth, or in fact for any town. We talk of advertising our Town. This is one medium whereby we can greatly advertise our town. There are eight teams at present in our Cape Cod League and the competition is great. The boys who play on these teams are all material for the big leagues and there are many, many scouts who come here during the summer months. There are problems. Granted. But, none that cannot be solved, with cooperation and interest of the citizens of the Town of Yar- mouth. One of the biggest problems is in regard to the time ele- ment. It seems the games are played at the wrong time of day. How do we solve this ? By installing lights on the baseball field. Another problem is housing for the young men who come here to play ball. This too can be solved by families opening their homes for them. Taking them in and making them feel at home. Some people have opened their homes and found the young men very well behaved and prompt in paying their room and board. A third is jobs. Understanding that the jobs these young men work at must be set so they can play ball. Of course there are still those who say all this cannot be done. It can be done and all the problems could be solved. Just by those two little words : "COOPERATION AND INTEREST" As I have said before and I repeat it again, I am not only for Town Baseball. I am for every sport in the Town. I want to see them all survive. Not a survival of the fittest. We need them all, and they all need us. It seems that, from my experience, and I have been in sports for a long time, no one can mention the Yarmouth Indians without a note of sarcasm or reproach against a Town Baseball Team. Frankly, I cannot tell you why this is, but I can tell you that as long as I can speak and am able I will see that there is a Yar- mouth Town Team. (Baseball). I do not expect to do as much work as I have done in the past and from all indications I don't think I will have to. 97 What do I get out of all this? Great satisfaction in doing my part in providing good sportsmanship and good sports for my town. Again I say : "A Sporting Town is a Healthful Town" We, the Management would like to express our appreciation and "THANKS" to everyone who may have helped during the season. We will come upon another season soon and as I said in my last report things would be better. But, this did not materialize. This year however I feel sure things are going to be better. We will have cooperation and interest. The two things which have been needed for a long time. Had this happened before the prob- lems which we seem to have would never have been. I have tried to give you a complete explanation. I am a mem- ber of the Recreational Activities Committee and have the oppor- tunity to see that all Sports are treated in a like manner and hope they will always. We will be asking for money this year and I hope that this money will be given to us. I have heard much to the contrary on this and this is the reason I have taken the opportunity to explain. Through the Recreation Commission the Yarmouth Indians re- ceived Seventeen hundred and five dollars ($1705.00). This is how the monies were spent : Appropriation : $1705.00 Expenditures : League Entrance Fee $600.00 Cape Cod Sports Center $470.00 Insurance $135.00 Manager $500.00 Total Expenditures : $1705.00 Yours for Better Sports General Manager Yarmouth Indians Richard T. Welch REPORT OF SHELLFISH CONSTABLE To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yar- mouth, I hereby submit the following report as Shellfish Constable for the year ending Dec. 31, 1967. There were six hundred bushels of Quahogs planted through- out the town. These Quahogs came from the waters of New Bed- ford, and it is hoped that we will increase this amount in the coming "par. 98 Approximately ten thousandseed oysters were planted, and even though the mortality rate was about 50%, the remainder grew very well. The polystream chemical, which kills the oyster drill, number one predator of the oyster, was very effective, but is also very costly. Scallop shells are being stored at the Town Dump and these shells will be used to catch the oyster spat (new born oysters) next July. Several bushels of clams were transplanted in an effort to start new clam beds. The program of trying to eliminate the preda- tors of shellfish will continue and possibly expand. The new permits, in plastic holders, have worked out well. We hope to continue this practice in the future. Please fill out the re- verse side of your permit when you go to get your new permit. This will give us a more accurate report of shellfish taken and improve the efficiency of replanting. Permits Issued Commercial @ $20.00 20 $400.00 Non Resident Family @ 2.00 183 366.00 Resident Family @ 1.00 1160 1,160.00 $1,926.00 I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Selectmen, my deputies, State Division of Marine Fisheries, other Town De- partments and citizens of the Town of Yarmouth, for their coopera- tion during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Morris I. Johnson Shellfish Constable. REPORT OF THE IMPROVEMENT AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE Acting under Article F of the 1967 Annual Town Meeting Warrant, the Moderator, Peter M. Sykes, appointed a committee of five "To look into the physical maintenance, improvement and beautification of the public streets and ways in the town and to report thereon tb the town at the next annual town meeting". The committee was duly appointed and has met throughout the year and made frequent surveys of the town's streets and ways. As a result of your committee's observations and deliberations, we respectfully submit the following recommendations : 99 1. As litter—beer cans, bottles and other assorted debris—are most distracting to the general appearance of our community, we believe a truck should be purchased and personnel em- ployed for the primary purpose of keeping our roadsides and parks—exclusive of beach and picnic areas—in sightly appear- ance. Acting on information supplied by residents and business men, this truck should respond to calls to pick up Iitter. It should be under the supervision of the Town Highway Depart- ment and may be used for highway work when not engaged in litter removal. The litter removal must come first at all times. 2. We also believe that beach and picnic areas should be main- tained throughout the year for use of residents in off season. Survey shows that the use by residents is not confined to July and August. Trash cans should be left at all these areas and not removed after Labor Day as they are now. 3. The maintenance of Baker Square in West Yarmouth, Carrol De Silver Park and Wind Mill Areas in Bass River, the Mall in South Yarmouth, the Common in Yarmouth Port, and all so- called islands adjacent to highways and roads should be placed under supervision of the Tree Warden. His budget should be increased to permit work to be done beautifying these areas where plantings would enhance the appearance for the pleasure and enjoyment of residents and visitors alike. 4. We believe there should be a permanent committee dedicated to reviewing the overall appearance of our community through- out the year and consisting of members who will consult with, advise or suggest to our various department heads and business operators how they might do more toward contributing to the betterment of Yarmouth's general appearance ; this committee to be of a number decided upon by the Selectmen, appointed by them and the term of office to be dependent on each in- dividual's active work toward the objective of this committee. We also believe this committee should carry on through volun- teers a program of education in the schools toward building pride in the overall appearance of the town in which the young people live. It is suggested that this might be carried out through various civic organizations. 5. We strongly advocate that the Selectmen insist on a more rigid enforcement of the Town's sign codes. We also urge the Se- lectmen to petition the Outdoor Advertising Division of the State D. P. W. to enforce the law governing off -location signs which is now being violated. 6. We respectfully suggest to the Planning Board that they en- courage more green areas and plantings to be prevalent in so- called shopping plazas. 100 7. We respectfully request Yarmouth Selectmen to petition the judges of Barnstable Courts to be more stringent regarding litterers when brought to court by our police. 8. Your committee would like to see the curbings along our high- ways kept in better condition. We submit that the Highway Surveyor should call upon the State Highway Department to remedy broken curbs promptly. 9. In conclusion, this committee believes that all residents of Yar- mouth could aid both the Police and Fire Departments by being alert and reporting to the police a description and registration number of any car whose driver throws out litter, and wher- ever they believe a fire or health hazard exists reporting it to the Fire Department. By so doing, people of our community could measurably contribute to the betterment and safety of our home town. Your committee wishes to express sincere appreciation to the Selectmen and to the various department heads for their help and cooperation during our surveys. We urge that they communicate more often with each other toward furthering the objectives for which this committee was appointed. Viola A. Crowell, Chairman Haydn Mason Nancy Smith Elva Tallman Bertram Tomlinson REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Gentlemen : The year 1967 surpassed all records for the library services in the more than a century in which it has served the people of Yar- mouth and Yarmouth Port. Not only has the number of patron borrowers, both adults and children, greatly increased but the growing facilities offer more and better educational advantages than ever before. Research and historical information is made avail- able to many students and writers in Yarmouth and adjacent com- munities. Late this Fall a request for this type of information was received from a writer in England. One of the most frequently used services is that provided on film of more than 100 years from the files of the Yarmouth Register. The library is now affiliated with the Massachusetts Department 101 of Education. Requests of patrons for books not available locally can usually be supplied through the Regional library in Falmouth or from the Boston Public Library. In the past year there has been a notable increase in this field. The Board of Trustees, in cooperation with the librarian Mrs. Martha U. White and assistant librarian Mrs. Arthur M. Smith are most appreciative of the many gifts of books, money and furnish- ings received during the past year. The Friends of the Library continue to play an important role in the growth of the library. Membership in this Association, now directed by president Warren L. Prescott has reached an all time high of 181 persons. One of the outstanding projects sponsored by the Friends is the Saturday morning programs for children. Educational films are shown or story hours conducted. Four times a year special events are pro- vided in recognition of Valentines, Easter, Halloween and Christ- mas. This past year was marked by the passing of two devoted and capable members of the Board of Trustees ; Tyler Clark on Jan- uary 25, past president of the Friends and Corporation; Gorham Pulsifer on July 1, past Trustee, Corporation member and Treas- urer for many years. Their advice and counsel was of great value in the operation and expansion of the library. Two major projects were completed this Fall. A large parking lot was made in the rear of the building in order to relieve the parking problem of the circular drive. Also the building has been painted which greatly improves the outside appearance. The Trustees wish to express their appreciation for the con- tinued cooperation of the Friends of the Library, the Yarmouth Finance committee and Board of Selectmen and the voters at town meeting, who have provided funds for a part of the operational expense of library maintenance. Respectfully submitted Carl H. Bussey, President Yarmouth Library Association. REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSION Weatherwise, the summer of 1967 caused some problem for those who wished to patronize our beaches. Having kept a daily report on weather conditions for 95 days of the summer, we can report only 47 good days and some of these were real cool. This accounts for the sticker total sales of $20,775.00 being lower than previous years. 102 This year, we are asking funds to enlarge the parking area at Bass River Beach, which will complete the parking space there, and to hot mix the Parking Lot at Bass Hole, Yarmouthport. This, we feel, would cut down the maintenance cost. We are also asking for funds to complete the Playground at Reid Ave., West Yarmouth and install it with the needed playground equipment. We, at this time, wish to thank you for your past support and we are asking for your continued loyalty in 1968. Respectfully submitted William B. Letteney, Chairman Edward A. Johnson Robert L. Studley REPORT OF WEST YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Board of Selectmen and Citizens West Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen : The past year has been a very busy and profitable year. Cir- culation has increased steadily and the Library was used more and more not only by local students but by many of those attending Cape Cod Community College. Many, many books were added to our collection in all sections. We feel now that all categories are just about up to date. Again this year we had our annual Open House in April and the attendance was very good. For our summer members and friends we had a Coffee Hour in August. We had a very responsive and large attendance and intend to make this an annual affair. This report would not be complete without a very sincere Thank you to ALL who in any way helped to make the past year so successful. Again this past year Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Silvia have made the Library most attractive with their flower arrangements. A special Thank you to them for their time and effort. To Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Walker for our Christmas display - we are most grateful. We thank the Selectmen and the taxpayers for their interest and cooperation. Respectfully submitted Eleanor E. Finn - Librarian West Yarmouth Library Association 103 REPORT OF CAPE. COD PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION As originally conceived the Cape Cod. Planning and Economic Development Commission was to be a clearing house of ideas and suggestions aimed at helping the towns to work together and sep- arately to create a better Cape Cod. After two years of faltering steps, during which the members from the 15 towns have been working together to establish a format that will function properly, it would appear that the commission is achieving its goals. The year 1967 saw several forward steps, including establish- ment of guidelines for pure water and pure water supplies which were formulated and sent to each town on the Cape for future guidance. The hope is that these guidelines will enable the Cape to con- tinue to have adequate water supplies for the forseeable future. Commission, too, is in the process of establishing a catalogue of available beaches on the Cape, set up suggested standards on beach usage, namely an acceptable figure of number of people per beach, and suggestions on availability and need for new beaches and for beach parking facilities. This beach criterion is the result of a request to the commis- sion from the State Legislature for recommendations on a proposal to have the state acquire and develop South Cape Beach at Mash - pee. Commission's study is expected to provide a timetable and standards that will enable Cape communities to provide all the beach area that will be needed and forestall inroads by State agen- cies which would take control of the beaches from the hands of the local communities. This report is due in the next few weeks. Also due soon is a report from the Boston University Area Development Division which is conducting a survey of Cape assets and liabilities and establishing suggested means of cancelling the liabilities and making a better Cape. The Cape, too, through its Planning and Economic Develop- ment Commission is receiving $27,000 from the Federal government to be used with local funds for a study of the economic base and needs of the Cape and means of helping the Cape economically while retaining its prime asset, its genuine seaside, quietly beauti- ful atmosphere. This year the planning commission will have a new chairman. Barnstable Selectman George L. Cross after three years as chair - 104 man of the planning group, is resigning from the commission. Press of his duties as chairman of Barnstable selectmen has dictated this move, he has told the planning unit. It is our belief that 1968 willsee more activity and more prog- ress toward a better Cape. Thomas Kelly Milton H. Cole REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES December 31, 1967 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth So. Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen : During the year just ended, the Department of Wiring In- spections made some 1,300 electrical inspections. This does not include the many conferences held each week to assist the home owner, who wants to find out about wiring requirements before purchasing additional Electrical Equipment for his home. A total of some 800 hours are spent in the office each year, and travel mileage was about 11,000 miles. Respectfully submitted Edmund Fruean, Jr. Inspector of Wires REPORT OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : Submitted herewith is the Annual report of the Building In- spector. During the year a total of 543 Building Permits, for construc- tion estimated to cost $6,624,565, were issued from this office. These permits include all new dwellings, commercial buildings, garages. accessory buildings and alterations. Of the 543 Building Permits issued, 351 were for new dwell- ings. Fees collected and paid to the Town Treasurer from building permits were $2,973.00. 105 Respectfully submitted, Alexander Catto Building Inspector REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR Dec. 6, 1967. To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth : In 1967 the Town accepted eighteen roads of which sixteen were blacktopped and two were seal -coated. Wood Road was reconstructed and a complete drainage system installed. 2,543 feet of 10" drainage pipe was laid on various streets. 100 feet of 48" pipe and 60 feet of 36" pipe were laid on Winslow Grey Rd. and a portion of this road was relocated and reconstructed and will be blacktopped in the spring. Six existing roads were repaved (5335 ft.) and eighteen roads were seal -coated (20,970 ft.). The sides of all new roads were loamed and seeded as well as many others throughout the Town. Chapter 90 Maintenance money was used to complete the re- paving of South Shore Drive. The sidewalk on Station Ave. was extended as far as Old Towne House Road. 61 catch basins were installed and most of our basins were cleaned out by a rented machine. Our rented sweeper is working constantly to cover the entire Town. 55 street signs were installed, many being replacements. The removal and destruction of signs continues to be an expensive problem. James C. Marsh, Highway Surveyor REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES January 9, 1968 District Board : Lindsay Armstrong - Sandwich, Chairman Leo C. Sweeney- Mashpee Kirkwood B. Brown - Dennis H. Raymond Darling - Yarmouth George L. Cross - Barnstable Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : The year 1967 was a very busy one for this Department due to the fact that there were many new cases added this year. Most of them were on a temporary basis. That is, if a veteran is in need 106 and his case is approved, this Department gives him and his family assistance. This assistance is in the form of cash or grocery and fuel orders. Also, the case may be aided in a medical program. Of course, all of these cases are investigated by me and a State in- vestigator assigned to this area. The Commonwealth of Massachu- setts reimburses the Town of Yarmouth 50% of each dollar spent. Besides aiding the veteran in a financial way, we also give to the veteran assistance with the Veterans Administration, such as applying for service -connected compensation, non -service pensions, hospitalization, filing income questionnaires etc. Mr. Thomas Brad - well, contact representative of the Veterans Administration, uses this office for all the veterans of Barnstable County from 10 :00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. on the second Thursday of each month. With the splendid cooperation of many of our local service and charitable organizations we are able to accomplish our task. I wish to thank them all for such fine assistance. This Department also wishes to thank the Board of Selectmen and their various Town Departments for their splendid coopera- tion during the year. Respectfully submitted, Charles H. Cross Director and Agent REPORT OF CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Conservation Commission has completed another very uccessful year, involving a great deal of effort, both in the field nd at its meetings. This year more trails and other improvements have been made 3 some of the areas. As conditions permit these items will be xpanded to provide more access and enjoyment to the inhabitants f the town. The conservation lands, north of Horse Pond, have been en- irged by the addition of three more parcels. One is known as the 'ar Pond Lot, a high picturesque area overlooking Far Pond, and rves as a connecting link between the school property on Hig- ins Crowell Road and property that is available to the students it nature study. Another is known as the Pine Island Lot, with ontage on Horse Pond; as well as being adjacent to our other nds. The Pitcher Lot, another beautiful area, adjoins the Pine land Lot. These three parcels give the town an additional twenty Tes. We are also receiving ten acres of land near Torn Mathews )nd in Yarmouth, three acres in Weir Village, four acres on Mill 107 Pond Yarmouth, and six acres adjacent to our Horse Pond 'Lot. This makes another twenty-three acres. Mr. Guido Perera has given the town for conservation pur- poses, a tract of land and marshland on Water Street, Yarmouth - port. This includes about two acres of upland and four acres of marshland and adjoins the area to be improved for small'boats. The Old Mill Point Club. has offered as a gift of land, an area in the center of town, adjacent to other conserved lands. We are happy to add the 75 acres of marshland, as voted at the last town meeting to our list of areas, that are so vital to the propagation and survival of marine life. A gift of another 50 acres of marshland is expected soon to. give further protection here. We have received the greatest cooperation in respect to our marshes, as all the areas acquired have been as gifts. The only money involved was the small amount, placed in escrow for the 75 acres, voted at. town meeting. Eventually this money will be returned to the town. We anticipate expanding protection for these areas as more and more citizens realize the necessityfor permanent security and give their marshes to the town. The herring run will be in excellent condition for the spring run as the commission is receiving valuable and needed assistance from the herring committee and the newly formed active and able water ways commission. We look with a great deal of enthusiasm and optimism upon the many projects before us and wish to thank you for your loyal and encouraging support. Thomas N. Embler, (Secretary) Loren C. Petry Quinton M. Scott Raymond S. Syrjala (Chairman) Allen R. Vera REPORT OF THE HISTORICAL COMMITTEE (Baxter Mill) January 8, 1968 TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN OF THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH : This is the annual report on the Baxter Mill in West Yarmouth for the year 1967. The mill was open almost every week -end, thanks to the help of Joseph Cunningham and his friends. 108 The sum of $21.03 was realized by the sale of stone -ground corn meal, which sum has been returned to the Town Treasury. Various repairs were made to the Mill from time to time by the undersigned, with the help of George Kelley and Benjamin Baxter, both of Hyannis. Respectfully submitted, A. Harold Castonguay Chairman. Historical Committee HISTORIC YARMOUTH PORT DISTRICT COMMISSION 1967 REPORT During 1967 the Commission acted upon fifty-eight applica- tions for Certificates of Appropriateness, all but two of which were deemed to be compatible with the objective of the District, namely, to preserve the historic and cultural traditions of Yarmouth Port and Yarmouth in so far as such traditions relate to structures and architectural settings in the District. In addition. discussions with executives of several national ad- vertisers gained their understanding of the Commission's purpose and resulted in their complete co-operation with respect to the .size. and appearance of the signs by which they advertise their products and services in the District. During the year the death of Mr. Gorham Pulsifer and the resignation of Mr. Albert S. Cross created two vacancies in the Commission which were filled by the appointments. to the Com- mission of Mr. Frederick C. Schauwecker, Jr. and Mr. John E. Harris, respectively. Moreover, Mr. Paul W. Stewart was reelected to the Commission upon the expiration of his temporary appoint- ment, for a four-year term beginning January 1, 1968. The members of the Commission wish to record here the devotion to the interests of the District displayed by the late Mr. Pulsifer and by Mr. Cross during the tenure of their membership. The Commission was encouraged in the conduct of its duties during 1967 by the expressed. good. will and continued support of the citizens of the District.

Harris 109 REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN and MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : During 1967 under the Shade Tree Program. eighty-eight (88) shade and flowering trees were planted along town ways, with the majority of them again being planted in the fall. Shade trees bordering the highways of the town were pruned where it was necessary for sidewalk and roadway clearance. The foliage spraying of the shade trees was carried on periodi- cally on all trees within the town. Insect Pest Control We still have a few areas in the town being bothered by the Tent Caterpillar. The sections found to be infested by the Tent Caterpillar were sprayed during the month of May and kept under control. Roadside spraying was continued again this summer, but due to the rainy weather conditions, the program was not as effective as we would like to have it. Roadsides, swimming areas and town parks were sprayed to keep Poison Ivyat a minimum. In a few cases it was hard to get complete coverage. as some of these areas were not easily accessible. There has been an outbreak of European Shoot Moth and Natsucoccos Scale in certain areas throughout the Cape, . this year. Yarmouth has a few areas, mostly on the South side. This disease strikes groups of native pitch pine trees, turning the needles brown. The sections affected in the town will be sprayed in June 1968. After the spraying new growth should start on the trees the follow- ing year. Dutch Elm Department Dormant spraying of the Elm Trees in the town during the second week in April was done by helicopter, once again this year. The Elm Leaf Beetle was also sprayed periodically throughout the summer months. Samples of the Elm Trees were taken and three (3) were found to have Dutch Elm Disease. All were on the North side. They were removed and disposed of. The sanitation program of pruning the Elms started last year was continued this year. Respectfully submitted, Jon L. Holmes Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent 110 REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF GAS PIPING AND GAS APPLIANCES January 18, 1968 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth.

During the past year I have inspected a total of 801 new and altered installations of gas in the town. Of this total 722 were applications received during 1967. Again I would like to express my appreciation to the personnel of the Town Office, the Fire Department and the installers of gas working in the town for the wonderful cooperation I have received.

No fines were collected during this week and many books were returned which might not have otherwise found their way back to us. Deborah Taylor continues as our most efficient page and we are pleased that she is still with us. During the summer months, Denise Egan was employed as junior page. Mrs. Walter Rousseff, our librarian since September 1964, has resigned and is now living in Chicago. It was with regret that her resignation was accepted and we wish her well in her new life. Mrs. George T. Osborne, Jr. has been appointed to fill this vacancy.

Osborn Librarian January 1968 REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH HOUSING AUTHORITY January 4, 1968 To : Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Massachusetts Julius F. Sofinowski Deputy Commissioner Department of Commerce & Division of Housing Boston, Massachusetts Mr. Thaddeus Buczko, State State House Boston, Massachusetts Development Auditor The Yarmouth Housing Authority is pleased to report that in the calendar year 1967, we progressed our initial major maintenance program. It consisted of cleaning and painting eight cellar stair wells, also refinishing floors and painting interior of the Communi- ty Building. We are contemplating the installation of gutters complete with down spouts on the Community Building during the year 1968. 112 The Housing Project consisting of 40 units has been fully oc- cupied for the entire year and there are on file approximately twelve applications for future admission from Yarmouth residents. Briefly, eligibility requirements are that a person must be 65 years of age or over (single individuals living alone, or couples are eligible) and of low income. The annual income of a single individual not to exceed $2500 and the annual income of a couple not to exceed $3000. The average monthly rent, including heat, electricity and water is $57.00. A financial statement of operation as of December 31, 1967 is : Income including State Aid Expenses $32,380.90 28,453.01 Surplus $ 3,927.89 Respectfully submitted, John H. Carroll, Chairman Howard K. Jackson Spear T. Holway Howard A. Spurr Hervey L. Small REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1967. Present number of active services 5990 Services installed during 1967 442 Gallons of water pumped 383,034,393 The continuing fast growth of the Town in 1967 is reflected in the fact that the Department installed 442 service connections, an all time high. Water Department revenue reached $310,000.00, an increase of $17,000 over 1966. To meet the continuing growth of the Town, the Commission- ers feel that an immediate capital expenditure, which is expected to cost in the vicinity of $1,200,000 be undertaken in 1968. This capital expenditure would involve the following : 1. The installation of two new wells and pumping stations in the recently acquired Plashes wellfield area. 2. The installation of a new well and pumping station at the North Main Street wellfield area. 3. The installation of mains throughout the town to provide : a. Distribution lines where rapid land development is now or will soon be taking place. 113 b. Town water in trouble spots of the Town where exist- ing private wells and cesspools might lead to pollu- tion, creating a grave health situation for our people. c. Fire hydrants for the protection of persons and prop- erty. 4. Well tests for the determination of capacity and quality of water. 5. The acquisition of two tracts of land in West Yarmouth for future wellfields. The Town, during 1967, has acquired title to most of the land in the Plashes wellfield with some money still being held in escrow to cover the cost of several parcels of land in which ownership has not been determined. The Department was very ably assisted by Mr. John Hart, Town Counsel, in the acquisition of the land at what would have to be considered a very reasonable cost. The maintenance and operation budget for the Department in 1968 is approximately $23,000 more than in 1967 and results prim- arily from the following factors : 1. Cost for construction materials we use are constantly rising. 2. The cost of general repairs increase as the water system becomes larger and older. 3. Additional personnel are needed to properly maintain and operate an ever expanding water system. 4. Additional funds are sought to remodel our main office building and to replace part of our heating system which is 36 years old and no longer reliable. From the viewpoint of personnel, we are seeking the following : 1. One additional working foreman. 2. A part time clerical worker. 3. An upgrading of the position of Assistant Superintendent of Water from Compensation Grade S-14 to S-16. 4. Stand-by pay for our supervisory personnel who are re- quired to cover nighttime and Sunday telephone calls in case of emergencies. Looking ahead, the Commissioners foresee - if our town con- tinues to grow at its present pace - capital expenditures in the next ten years for additional pumping stations, distribution lines, additional office space, a parking area at the staton on Union Street, and additional storage space for vehicles, equipment and material. Looking backward, we review with sincere gratitude the gen- erous support the townspeople has given to the water commission- ers for the money needed to make our Water Department a well integrated and balanced one. It is to your credit that the records show that during the period of the great drought our department 114 did not have to place as many restrictions on the use of water as did our neighbors ; and it is to your credit that you provided the money for the Fire and Water Departments in a manner which resulted in the lowering of the fire insurance rates in the Town. For the year 1967 your Water Department cost you, for main- tenance and operation, principal and interest on bonded indebted- ness and special articles involving money, approximately $4.04 per thousand of assessed valuation. Based on our budgetary re- quests and with increased revenue available, your Water Depart- ment should cost you approximately $3.63 per thousand in 1968, a decrease of about 10%. Respectfully submitted to the people of the Town of Yarmouth by Elwin W. Coombs Frederick J. Thacher Roger G. Edwards, Jr. BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS REPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT January 11, 1968 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. Submitted herewith is the Report of Activities and the Report of Arrests of the Police Department for the year 1967. The year 1967 saw a marked drop in the number of moving traffic violations in Yarmouth. This, in part, is due to the now familiar "No Fix" law as well as to the efforts of your Police Department in the area known as "Selective Enforcement". This, in effect, is the policing of areas known to be prone to motor ve- hicle violations and accidents. It will be further noted that the accident rate also took a dive. Unfortunately, however, the fatality factor is up due almost entirely to an early morning head-on col- lision on the Mid -Cape Highway wherein five persons were killed. It is hoped that the decrease in Juvenile arrests this year in- dicates a tendency on the part of our youngsters toward respect for the law. Police officers know, and the citizenry should under- stand that the vast majority of our young people are decent, knowl- edgeable, fine representatives of the up -coming generation. As is often the case the unlawful element is given the preponderance of publicity. Where the incidence of the minor offense has lessened this year the opposite is true in Narcotics violations and crimes of vio- 115 lence. Where there were ten. narcotics and drug violations in 1966 there were fifty-three in 1967. This more than reflects the situation throughout the United States. In an effort to combat this dilemma we have inaugurated an investigating team within the Department. The several officers assigned to this "Vice Squad" are now being trained in this field and are working in close harmony with like contingents from the neighboring towns of Dennis and Barnstable. Along with their duties as Narcotics Agents these men are charged with the investigation of various other crimes of a serious nature. It is disconcerting to note that Assault and Battery cases are up fifty percent as are Assaults with Dangerous Weapons. Statutory Rape as well as the various forms of Larceny and Robbery have taken an alarming swing upwards. In order to effectively cope with this nation-wide trend the police need the cooperation of you, the citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. By exercising your civic duty in the reporting of crimes and incidents of a suspicious nature you are effectively aiding your police department in the curtailing of criminal activity. Your assistance in the past has been much appreciated and we look for- ward to . your continued support in the future. Much to the sorrow of the men of the Department the services of our Chief of the last twelve years were lost due to illness. Dur- ing Chief Herb Jason's reign as. Chief of Police the growth of the Town of Yarmouth was phenomenal and under his command the Police Department made a valiant effort to grow with it. A new police station was completed and the number of officers on the department doubled. A forty -hour work week was voted by the Townspeople and an unmarked cruiser was added to our two - cruiser compliment. Together with an understanding Board of Selectmen and a Personnel Board familiar with police problems the wage scale within the department has improved. The Town, as well as his former business associates, will miss his able direction. Respectfully Theodore P.

inspections 259 Storage of flammable liquids, explosives 11 Trash storage prior to disposal (retail business) 4 349 The inspections and investigations conducted and the related reports required a total of 240 hours. Systematic inspections of all retail establishments, sprinkler protected properties, and of occu- pancies of a special nature such as woodworking shops, paint shops, warehouses and other similar operations will be conducted in the future when manpower can be provided to accomplish this. These inspections become more and more necessary as our town grows so that we can keep pace with the growth. A typical example of changing times is the proposed shopping mall at Bucks Island. Fire prevention and fire fighting planning becomes very apparent when structures of this nature are built in the town of Yarmouth. It will be only through constant fire prevention inspections and continued pre -planned firefighting that these vast building com- plexes will be assets to our community. 121 Delivery of a new 750 gallon pumper is expected by the end of July of this year and will replace a 1940 tank truck which is now assigned to station 2 in Yarmouthport. The next engine scheduled for replacement is a 1942 500 gallon pumper assigned to headquar- ters. It is my hope that this unit can be replaced in 1970 and I feel that this can be done if we continue to add money to the stabil- ization fund each year for this purpose. Two articles will appear in the Warrant this year by request of the fire department. One is asking that a sum of money be voted to be added to the stabilization fund. This year the amount of $10,000 is requested, as the replacement price of the 1942 engine in 1970 is expected to be in the vicinity of $30,000. The second article asks that a sum of money be provided to purchase a new pick-up truck. We have had two pick-up trucks from surplus gov- ernment property over the past 5 or 6 years. The first one was replaced by another surplus government vehicle about 2 years ago. In each case, these trucks had been nearly worn out before the government declared them surplus so we had to do much work to try to keep them in operation. As the need for this kind of vehicle became more and more necessary it became obvious that continued replacement by other surplus vehicles was not the most desired method. Therefore I have requested purchase of a new one this year. It is expected that quite a few years of service should be expected from the new one. At the end of May of 1968 our Deputy Fire Chief has to retire. Charles A. Van Dusen became a member of the Yarmouth Fire Department as a call man in 1931. Charlie, as everyone knows him, will certainly be missed by the department and by the citizens of Yarmouth. I, for one, will hate to see him retire but I am certain that I speak for all who have known him when I wish him the very best of health and happiness and many years of hunting and fishing. During the year our heaviest fire loss was at the South Yar- mouth Shopping Plaza and this loss was greater than it should have been mainly because of the lack of proper fire stopping. This phase of building construction in structures of a retail occupancy as well as other buildings open to the public should be more rigidly enforced and inspected during construction. When construction of the shoppers mall at Bucks Island begins, this alone will demand a great deal of time for inspections and consultations. Fire stops, fire walls, and good fire prevention practices in these structures will help the fire department do a better job and will keep fire losses down. I wish to acknowledge the co-operation this department has received from other departments and from residents of the Town. 122 Also I want to thank the officers and men of the department who have helped support it, and appreciation to the Fire Belles, our ladies auxiliary. Respectfully submitted Dana H. Whittemore Chief, Fire Department ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPT. 1967 To the Citizens Town of Yarmouth In 1967 we have observed a trend in more planning and work- ing together of health related agencies and interested citizens on community problems. The confirmation of four cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever received much attention. The leadership in the Health Services Community has taken the responsibility to put this in its proper perspective. A county -wide committee of responsible agen- cy and citizen representatives has been charged to define the prob- lem and prepare recommendations for a sound and reasonable program to control wood ticks before the 1968 tick season starts. The Cape Cod Community Council representing the health, education and welfare agencies sponsored an all day institute on health services in Barnstable County. Dr. Leona Baumgartner, visiting professor, Harvard Medical School, an internationally known public health expert was the key note speaker. This was a stimulating and beneficial program. On September 5, 1967, Governor John A. Volpe signed into law a requirement that all school children be immunized against smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles and polio unless exempted for medical or religious reasons. This bill was introduced by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and endorsed by the Massachusetts Medical Society. The law became effective December 4, 1967. As a result of state legislation, the Cape Cod Mental Health Area Board with 21 members has been appointed and has started its work. This group has been given great responsibility in study- ing, planning and producing services which will prevent emotional 123 illness and help those mentally ill and afflicted with mental re- tardation. This is a responsible group of your representatives and you can expect encouraging results. The concern for continued provision of high quality public health service is constant and requires study of needs and planning for necessary action. Some of the outstanding health needs are : 1. The extension of psychiatric service for children and a beginning program for adults. Our adults must still travel to Boston for limited out-patient services. 2. The need to make more effort to prevent dental caries (tooth decay), one of our important public health problems. The remedy fluoridation is safe, inexpensive and easily administered. All we need is for the citizens to take steps to make this treatment available. 3. There continues to be a need for more planning together and coordination of activities of all health related agencies in meet- ing community health needs. The Cape Cod Community Council is the available instrument that could be called on to give this leadership and service. 4. Need for attention to the many problems associated with increased demands for clean public water supply, and disposal of sewage and solid wastes. We see this requiring all towns to formu- late plans separately and cooperatively to meet the short and long term needs. 5. The need for a social case work service for the family with multiple problems. 6. There is a serious need for upgrading salaries of the pro- fessionals in order to keep and recruit necessary personnel. To maintain high standards of public health service, we need a min- imum number of highly qualified professional staff supported by trained health aides. This kind of planning is imperative to insure good service.

Robinson Town Collector TO THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE - ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR 1967 During the last two years there have been many radical changes in the administration and regulations of the Welfare De- partment. In my 1966 town report I listed twelve major changes. This year they have been added to and changed, medical costs have increased and a whole new system of applying for MEDI- CAID was introduced in June. This new MEDICAID (M.A.) plan has resulted in a tremendous amount of additional paper work and service since there has been no increase in staff. This has 129 drastically curtailed many needed services that should have been given to recipients receiving regular categorical assistance. Since June this department has processed 192 Medical Appli- cations. The 161 approved cases have added 486 people eligible for medical assistance, 444 children under 21, 12 eligible for Dis- ability Assistance and 30 over 65 years of age. This increase of 486 added to our regular recipients receiving categorical assistance totalled 774 people eligible at the end of the year for M.A. The total payments for M.A. in 1967 was $147,360.59, an increase in medical payments of $26,140.20 over 1966. The total cost of assistance in all categories and administration for 1967 was $388,557.50 an increase of $70,778.04 over 1966. The town cost however, was $83,222.89 an increase of only $14,142.23 over 1966. This is 22.7% of the total expenditures. As you probably know the State will take over all administra- tion of the Public Welfare system on July 1, 1968 as enacted by the General Court by their passage of Chapter 658. In 1968 we anticipate many more applications for Medical Assistance, an in- crease in medical costs because of higher hospital, nursing homes and doctors' rates. The administrative status of this department after July 1st. cannot be determined at this writing.

Mitchell Vocal Music, 1 - 4 The school year 1967 has been one of encouragement and progress. The Middle School is now under construction and will help some with the crowded conditions of the present educational plant. A new Kindergarten through Five school should be given serious consideration at this time. A teacher aide program was started this past fall for the pur- pose of relieving the teachers from non academic duties. As this program evolves the addition of new personnel will be necessary from time to time. All necessary repairs to the buildings were completed. NO SCHOOL SIGNAL - The Yarmouth School Committee will close school only in cases of extreme weather conditions. Parents are urged to exercise their personal judgment as to the wisdom of sending their children to school. The No -School report will be given, through the courtesy of the management of WOCB as soon as the station comes on the air on the day in question. 159 EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATES - Employment permits may be issued to boys and girls between the age of fourteen and sixteen to work only when the schools are not in session. Part time, and full time certificates for boys and girls between the ages of sixteen and eighteen are issued at the Office of the Regional High School, and the Office of the Superin- tendent of Schools, John Simpkins School, Bass River. Personal application must be made by the student, and evidence of date of birth must be presented. I also wish to call the attention of the reader to the reports of the following school personnel.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is with pleasure that I submit my annual report as Principal of the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. Again, as last year, I have asked Miss Marguerite Small, Assist- ant Principal at the West Yarmouth Elementary School, Mr. James Clarke, Assistant Principal at the South Yarmouth Elementary School, and Mr. Gregory Drake, Vice -Principal in charge of the John Simpkins School to submit a report for their respective build- ings. The reports will provide to the people of the Town of Yar- mouth a wider coverage of the school program. The year 1967 has resulted in considerable progress toward the realization of a new Yarmouth Middle School. The school building is now under construction and the athletic fields, consist- ing of twelve or more acres, are completed, including the planting of the grass. The new complex, when finished, will provide the areas badly needed for a modern school curriculum. It will relieve many of the crowded room conditions that now exist. Mrs. Robert Gott, a teacher and elementary supervisor for many years in the Yarmouth School System retired in June. This fall, the school personnel held a tea in her honor at the West Yar- mouth Building. To this loyal and dedicated teacher we express the wish for health and happiness for many future years. Federal Aid to Education, administered through the State Department of Education, is affecting school programs in many fields. The Yarmouth School System has participated in Title I Projects under the E.S.E.A. Act of 1965 with both. the Falmouth and Brookline School Departments in the subject areas of math- ematics and science. Funded under the same act was a summer school for seventy-two disadvantaged Yarmouth school pupils. Library books and related materials continue to be available from Federal Funds. Under the E.S.E.A. the National Defense Educa- tion Act - Title III, a fifty-fifty matching program, provides assist- ance in the basic subjects. Yarmouth has been successful in ob- taining approval for projects in reading, geography, English and history. The three Yarmouth Elementary Schools in my judgment con- tinue to provide a sound basic elementary education for the student even with the large class numbers and the use of some adverse working space. 165 In closing, I would like to express my appreciation to Mr. Alfred Kenyon, Superintendent of Schools, the Yarmouth School Committee, the assistant principals and vice-principal, the super- visors, the teaching staff and all other school personnel for the continued cooperation and assistance during the past school year. Respectfully submitted, Osborne W. Bearse Principal REPORT OF THE VICE PRINCIPAL John Simpkins School Gregory Drake I am pleased to submit my second annual report as vice-prin- cipal of the John Simpkins School. This year we have had a brief period of relief in our total student enrollment in relation to past years. Our enrollment was 511 students in comparison to last year's enrollment of 527 stu- dents, which is the first decrease in many years. With the South Yarmouth Elementary School student enrollment at 488 and the West Yarmouth Elementary School student enrollment at 703, it is justifiable to say that within the next 5 -year period the total inter- mediate school enrollment will increase rapidly. Seeing and hear- ing heavy machinery at work on the site of the new intermediate school is certainly an exhilarating feeling. Because we anticipate completion of the new building in the near future, we are presently planning varied activities, an ex- panded curricula, and new teaching methods, all of which are primarily based on modern educational techniques with particular emphasis placed on individual differences. Cheerfully our faculty rings out with terms such as "I.P.I." (Individually Prescribed In- struction), "linguistics", closed circuit television, computers, math- ematical carrels, oceanography and "manager of the learning pro- cess" which are a few of the points discussed at formal and in- formal faculty meetings. This feeling expresses the anxiety and earnest desire of the teachers to participate in formulating a fine educational program which can be utilized in this modern educa- tional facility. The observance of National Education Week was held on Monday, November 6 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. with approxi- mately five hundred people in attendance. Open house gives all our guests an opportunity to meet the faculty, observe and hear our basic educational aims and ideas in respect to the teacher's subject matter, view the work students have completed or are now undertaking and, at their leisure, survey our facilities. 166 I wish to welcome my new teachers this year in the language arts area for grades 6, 7, and 8 which are as follows : Mrs. Eunice Cole, grade 6; Mrs. Helen Small, grade 6; and Miss Joyce Cahoon, grades 7 and 8. Mrs. Ellen Gott, our former elementary supervisor, who retired this year after many years of fine service as both teach- er and elementary supervisor in the Yarmouth schools, will be missed by the staff. We wish her many happy years of retirement. I also welcome Mr. Francis Duncan as the new elementary super- visor and Mrs. Judith Wright our art supervisor. This year a pilot course in spelling was introduced for all levels in grade 6. Because we feel greater emphasis should be placed on the word — its meaning, its spelling and its usage — we felt including a spelling course in every subject area such as social studies, science, mathematics would increase a greater un- derstanding in this area. Results to date have been quite enlight- ening. Although existing conditions and crowded quarters do not allow for greater flexibility from our planned work we continue to plan extra -curricular activities such as athletics, class dances, a number of fine field trips, music festivals etc. We do feel a need for more flexibility in the students every day work and a number of extra -curricular activities is a necessary part of the education of a well informed youngster. REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL South Yarmouth Elementary School James J. Clarke, Jr. It is with pleasure that I submit my report as Assistant Prin- cipal of the South Yarmouth Elementary School. On November 7, 1967 we held a very successful Open House. A great many parents had an opportunity to visit with the teachers and see some of their children's work. I believe this personal con- tact holds great potential for a child's education. If the parents and school work as a team a great deal can be accomplished. With an enrollment of 490 children (an increase of 70 children over last year) our space needs are critical. Since the auditorium is being used for a classroom, there is no longer room for special projects, plays and holiday programs that should be a part of every child's school experience. The available space has also re- stricted our physical education program, as we have no gymnasium. The opening of the new middle school will certainly ease our crowded conditions. The number of children has put an added burden on the teaching, custodial, cafeteria and secretarial staff. They have always done a fine job but I am particularly pleased with their performance this year. 167 We have added four new teachers this year. Miss Shagoury - 1st Grade, Mrs. McFarland - 3rd Grade, Miss McDonald - 3rd Grade, and Mrs. Drake - 4th Grade. Mrs. Aborn has joined our cafeteria staff. We are also using two part-time teacher's aids. They are of great assistance in non -teaching areas such as cafeteria and recess duties. It gives the teachers more time to teach. We now have four first grades and three second, third, fourth and fifth grades. We are basically on a seven period day. Each child has six major subjects : reading,mathematics, science, social studies, language and spelling. The extra periods are used for art, music, physical education and penmanship. This is a well rounded program and we are using the teaching staff in areas where they excel. It also gives every child a chance to meet all the teachers and try his abilities in many areas. A great experience that many teachers go through every few years is going back to school themselves. They find it quite stimu- lating to be on the "other side of the desk" for a while. It is also imperative for teachers to return to school to keep up with the rapid pace in education today. Such was my experience this past summer when I attended a Mathematics Leadership Program with Mr. Louis Drake (Grade 7-8 Mathematics Teacher) at Topsfield, Massachusetts. We studied methods of revising the math curricu- lum. The participants were from 13 cities and towns all over the state. It was an excellent time to talk about methods, systems and materials used in different schools. Three television programs on this seminar were broadcast by Channel 2. I was proud that on many points the Yarmouth program compared favorably with the top leaders in education in the state. From this seminar we brought back to Yarmouth many fresh ideas. An outgrowth has been the formation of a club for all Yarmouth mathematics teach- ers. In the future a group will re-evaluate our curriculum with the idea of keeping it up to date. REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL West Yarmouth Elementary School Marguerite E. Small The Yarmouth school system is planned to give each pupil an opportunity to advance at his own rate and it is, I feel, a system in which we can all take pride. Therefore, I am happy to submit to you my report as assistant principal of the West Yarmouth Ele- mentary School. Interest in the methods of instruction used in the school system and in the construction of the West Yarmouth building has brought many visitors to our school. All have been unanimous in praise of 168 a system which can provide such a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere for growth and the way in which the boys and girls respond to it. The past year has seen still further increase in the number of pupils enrolled at West Yarmouth. Total enrollment is, at present, 718 with 185 in the two kindergarten sessions and 533 in grades one through five. Another classroom was added this year when the former art room became a fifth grade classroom. This makes a total of 23 classrooms with the three kindergarten rooms having double sessions. Art and music, both vocal and instrument- al, are carried on in the large group instruction area. This has meant the curtailment of any activities planned for groups beyond classroom size. Two innovations in our school program are the use of buses for kindergarten transportation and the addition of teachers' aides to our staff. Buses particularly suited to small children have been provided and boys and girls in kindergarten seem to be enjoying this new experience. Teachers' aides accompany the kindergarten pupils on the buses and make sure that each child has a safe and pleasant trip to and from school. In addition to helping in the kindergarten, the aides assist the other teachers in typing and printing material 'to be used in various class assignments, help in the library, and aid the school nurse in recording weights and heights and eye and ear test results. I could not close this report without expressing my apprecia- tion of the fine work done by the teachers of the West Yarmouth Elementary School, the helpfulness of the supervisors and teachers of special subjects, and the equally fine spirit of cooperation and service to our children which are exhibited every day. REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SUPERVISOR Francis J. M. Duncan I herewith submit my first annual report as Supervisor of Elementary Schools for the Town of Yarmouth. The assistance given to me by my predecessor, Mrs. Ellen Gott, was most helpful in acquainting me with the Yarmouth School System. I have met with representatives of various book companies, and have obtained materials from them which are available to teachers upon request. The math teachers had an opportunity to discuss their basic math series with a consultant from the publish- ing firm of Holt, Rinehart and Winston. It is planned to have more of these consultants from other companies meet with our teachers and discuss the materials being used in the classrooms. 169 An integral unit of an elementary school system is its testing program. The following tests are scheduled during the last half of the 1967-1968 school year. Otis -Lennon Tests of Mental Ability (Grades K - 8) Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (Grades 3 - 8) Gates Reading Achievement Tests (Grades 1 - 8) New children entering this school system are brought up to date in all areas of the testing program. This also gives me an opportunity to meet them and serves as an aid in assigning them to the various levels. REPORT OF THE READING SUPERVISOR Kalliope G. Garoufes As reading is fundamental to school success, I have concen- trated on assisting the staff in the coordination and facilitation of efforts to improve reading instruction so that each child will move closer to his own reading potential. The pupil -orientated program provides for the differences within levels and rate at which chil- dren learn. Individual and group diagnosis probes in depth spe- cific skills areas of the pupils to determine needs and to aid in arranging for corrective work. The economy of pupil time with each pupil utilizing every minute, especially in skills learning, is of prime concern. The reading program includes opportunity for independence and enrichment. Linguistics, as it relates to reading, is still at the theoretical level with some linguistic reading materials available. Yet lin- guistics can not be considered another fad in education that will die out but as a contribution in collaboration with other disciplines. The Yarmouth Schools has taken advantage of Title III NDEA funds to acquire supplementary materials for enhancing and en- riching the reading program from kindergarten through grade eight. Your cooperation, Mr. Kenyon, and that of the principals, teachers and other school personnel is greatly appreciated: REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR (K-4) Margaret H. Craft First of all, I would like to say how happy I am with my first teaching assignment. It is with great pleasure that I submit this report to you and to the parents of young children in the Dennis - Yarmouth School Union. The teacher and parent should encourage a child to express his own developing ideas of the world rather than mimic the style of his peers or his instructor. Art, on any level, is totally personal 170 expression. And any child, with or without inborn talent, should put down his emotions with crayons and paint as well as with a pencil. There is no better aid to developing a healthy personality and an inquisitive mind. Because I feel so strongly the cathartic nature of all creative experiences, I discourage the use of patterns and formulas. There simply is no single mathematical answer to an aesthetic problem. Creative or "inventive" thought is the most difficult of any mental ability, and to me, learning the process is much more important than the product. REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR (Grades 5 through 8) Judith G. Wright The junior high school art program planned for all students, confronts the administration and teachers with problems, such as inadequate physical space, class numbers, etc. Means of working with these obstacles have been solved temporarily, but appropriate means are becoming necessary, for in our mechanized and scientifically oriented world, aesthetically aware and,sensitive people are needed to humanize our society. In the art program this year I am trying to give my students a general survey course touching on all the major areas such as design, printing, drawing and painting and art history. I hope in this way to spark an interest in everyone at some point during the year and perhaps waken a dormant talent. All human beings are potentially creative in some aspect of the visual arts. The primary purposes of art in the schools are : 1. To realize the aesthetic and creative potential of each individual. 2. To acquaint the students with tools and materials. 3. To have them gain confidence, and skill by solving prob- lems within their own realm of thinking. 4. To develop personal sensitivities. All children possess per- sonal sensitivities which should be nourished. REPORT OF THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR Richard G. LaPorte, Jr. The instrumental program starts in the fourth grade. The beginners are grouped by instruments. Thus, we have a clarinet class, saxophone class, trumpet class, trombone class, flute and percussion class. These classes meet twice weekly for instruction, and within three months, once a week for band. Since we average six separate groups per grade, I would need thirty periods a week 171 in one school in order to keep instruction graded. Having four schools, I have had to combine all groups from grades six through eight into heterogeneous classes. That is, all the sixth grade wood- winds, clarinet, saxophone and flute, form one class and meet once a week for instruction. Unison rhythm studies are used, and ap- plied in band. The same is true for the brass class and percussion class. In the seventh and eighth grades, the two grades are com- bined into a single class of all woodwinds, another class of all brass, and a third of all percussions. These upper grades meet for one period of instruction, and one of band. The advent of this middle school should give Yarmouth a very fine instrumental program. The classes for these students in the upper grades could be kept smaller, meet more often, more in- dividual attention given, and over all progress be far more ad- vanced. REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR, STRINGED INSTRUMENTS Frank Cornwell After two and a half years of rather tedious work with the stringed instruments, I feel we have finally approached our goal, an orchestra. We now have a group at the John Simpkins and Ezra Baker schools. The string sections have been augmented with flutes, reeds, and brass, recommended by Mr. LaPorte. These students, plus piano, form the nucleus of the orchestras which we hope will become larger and better as time goes on. With only a few rehearsals the Ezra Baker group played sev- eral numbers at Open House, and did very well, considering the short time they had played together. Last spring the John Simp- kins orchestra gave concerts at the South and West Yarmouth schools and was very well received by the students, some of whom are now pupils. The John Simpkins ensemble also gave a concert at the school for the parents of the musicians. The numbers were very well received. These concerts have helped tremendously in creating student interest. Along with standard orchestra pieces we have scored arrange- ments of the more popular and current song hits. These of course, present a challenge and the members accept it enthusiastically. Also, during the year, concerts were given in all the schools, featuring an accordionist. This young artist scored such a hit that a similar program is being arranged for the High School. The decision to start orchestral periods in the High School was an opportune one and should go a long way to maintain interest in the elementary level, where up until now the pupils' efforts would often slacken because of the lack of furtherance. 172 REPORT OF THE VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR (Grades 1-4) Viola Mitchell The musical experiences of little children may determine their future attitude and desire for music. Consequently, as vocal music teacher for the lower grades, I feel a responsibility for arousing and developing the attitude and desire for music among the girls and boys. Music, in its various aspects - singing, rhythmic responses, listening and creative activities, knowledge of basic elements of music reading - should furnish the children with a wide variety of musical experiences through which the child can express and en- joy himself. This is my first year of teaching music in the Yarmouth Ele- mentary Schools. With the aid of the activities mentioned above my aim is to establish an attitude and desire for music among the children that will prepare them for the challenging experiences offered in the upper grades and, hopefully, for the adult years of their lives. ,44-' REPORT OF THE VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR (Grades 5 through 8) Beverly S. Counsell Exploring music leads to many kinds of musical enjoyment and learning. Our present music program is broad in general ap- peal. It includes singing, instrument experience, listening activi- ties, sight reading, rhythmic development and creative experience. Singing is a skill. In sequential progress through the grades the stress on good singing is characterized by the following : Good tone quality, correct tempo knowledge of the symbols on the print- ed page, correct phrasing, emotional response, good enunciation and pronunciation. For eight years our books, Music for Young Americans, have been basic and stimulating for the students. How- ever, the enrichment of other source materials is available in paper choral books, sheet music and a wide library of records—the old masters, folk music and, of course, our ever present 45's. Music is important in American life today. We make music in family groups, in choirs and in orchestras. We listen to music on records, TV, radio and in concerts. It is our goal to give every student a chance to be an active participant or an appreciative listener. Four elementary schools in the towns of Yarmouth and Dennis are visited weekly. Vocal music reaches over 1,000 students. The students have participated in Thanksgiving operettas, annual Christmas carol broadcasts, the Spring Festival of Music, and Me- morial Day exercises. 173 REPORT OF THE FRENCH SUPERVISOR Ernest Deneault French is offered to the upper levels of grades seven and eight. At the present time one hundred forty-two students are tak- ing part in the program. The course is primarily conversational. The "mauger" text is used in both grades. No English appears in the text and con- versation becomes more detailed as the student progresses. Time is taken for basic grammatical explanations with more and more emphasis in the verb area. Dictations begin at the middle of the seventh grade. The dictations become more frequent and individual oral recitations are included in the student's program. A series of filmstrips is shown during the first year to aid the student's pronunciation and increase his vocabulary. In May a test was given by Mr. Jaillet to those students then completing the course. This test is given primarily to aid in the placement of those students choosing to go on in French at the high school. Approximately twelve students were able to be placed in the advanced class. REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION SUPERVISOR, BOYS Daniel M. Campbell It is with pleasure that I submit my annual report as Supervisor of Physical Education in the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. The physical well being and health of our young people is the primary concern of our Physical Education Program. The pro- gram consists of calisthenics individual and team games with em- phasis on fundamentals and rules, gymnastics and self -testing ac- tivities which include tumbling and fundamental work on the apparatus. The importance of physical fitness is stressed and the pupils are urged to exercise daily, eat a proper diet, get sufficient rest and thus enable themselves to become physically fit. A very important part of our Physical Education Program is athletics. We offer Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Track. These team activities afford the student an opportunity to learn the fundamentals and rules, display their individual skills and talents, work together in a team effort and practice self-control and good sportsmanship in a competitive situation. REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION SUPERVISOR, GIRLS Anne S. Emery Children are born "perpetual motion machines". If started young enough, a good graded physical education program can 174 channel this perpetual motion into adequate youth and adult rec- reation, health, and fitness patterns, as well as replacements for activity lost while the youngsters necessarily ride on buses and in car pools. With these things in mind our program is planned to direct this born love of motion into games, sports, rhythmic activities, and individual skills that will not only keep them fit during their school years, but, will be habits in their futures making good physical condition a pleasant recreation, rather than a dull chore. This necessitates exposure to a large variety of activity to meet individu- al tastes and talents. The skilled, the average, and the unskilled each needs to find success as well as challenge. It is my wish that we could have more depth of instruction right now, but we know thatthe near future will provide this for the youngsters in the form of the new school. This year we are fortunate to have started some corrective posture work and two small remedial classes in the lower grades. Improvement already shows in the confidence of a few of the youngsters whose skills were limited and who are reluctant to join into regular class work. It will take more time to judge skill improvement. At present the girls in grades seven and eight meet twice a week, sixth has one class a week, fifth, fourth, and third have one every other week as do boys and girls in grades one and two. REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE Marion Chapman, R.N. I am pleased to submit my annual report as School nurse for the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. My time is divided among the John Simpkins, South Yarmouth and West Yarmouth Schools. Early in the school year students are weighed and measured. Annual physical examinations as required by law, were given to children in grades one - four and seven by the school physician Dr. Herman Howes assisted by the nurse. All students in grade eight participating in physical fitness program were also examined by Dr. Howes. All health observations were recorded on Cumula- tive health cards by the nurse. Physical defects discovered during examinations were reported to the parents. Routine eye and ear examinations were given to all students. Parents were notified of any defects found and most of them re- ceived prompt attention. During the school year a few requests from the family physicians of students for hearing tests to be given, were fulfilled and audio exams with the results were sent to the assigned. 175 Many cases of Virus and the "Common cold" have been re- ported. Also Mumps have been quite prevalent among the chil- dren this year. In March booster inoculations for Diphtheria and Tetanus were given to students with parental consent in the fourth grades. Dr. Hermon Howes administered one hundred and thirty inoculations. Measle Vaccine was given to students with parental consent in the third grades. Twenty four inoculations were administered by Dr. Howes, assisted by the nurse to students in the West Yarmouth and South Yarmouth Schools. REPORT OF ATTENDANCE OFFICER Marion E. Chapman For the year ending, December 31, 1967, I have investigated twenty two cases of truancy and made reports to the proper authori- ties in each case. REPORT OF ADULT EDUCATION DIRECTOR Gregory Drake It is my pleasure to submit my annual report of the Yarmouth Adult Education Program in the Town of Yarmouth. Registration was well attended as in the past years, on Sep- tember 25 and 26 from 7 :00 p.m. to 8 :30 p.m. at the John Simpkins School. This year enrollment had reached an all time high of 437, up from last year's total enrollment of 388 students. Heavy re- sponse is due probably to our new course, cake decorating with Mrs. Joan Goodwin as instructor, which was introduced in January. In September registration for the cake decorating course reached a high of 38 students. Also responsible for the peak in enrollment is continual popularity in the established courses of sewing, tailor- ing, oil painting, rug braiding, physical fitness for women and wood working -furniture making. This year, because Mrs. Madeline Eldredge was granted a leave of absence, I wish to welcome Miss Frances Wood as our new physical fitness for women instructor. Again this year, I wish to extend thanks to Mr. Kenyon, Super- intendent of Schools, for his constant help and advice ; to the Yar- mouth School Committee for their sincere efforts in providing a fine adult program, and the secretary and the custodians for their complete cooperation. 176 Monday Beginning Sewing Elizabeth Murley " Oil Painting Vernon Coleman Woodworking Camille Houde and James Clarke " Physical Fitness (10 weeks) Frances Wood Tuesday Beginning Sewing Melva Clift If Furniture Making James Davis " Rug Braiding Elizabeth Murley Wednesday Advanced Sewing Elizabeth Murley Advanced Oil Painting Vernon Coleman Woodworking Camille Houde and Wayne Salminen Cake Decorating (10 weeks) Joan Goodwin Thursday Tailoring Elizabeth Murley Oil Painting Betsy Hammond Woodworking Camille Houde and " Louis Drake YARMOUTH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT CENSUS October 1, 1967 5 yrs. or over 7 yrs. or over and under 7 and under 16 BOYS 224 GIRLS 198 422 Distribution of above minors : In public day school 407 In private school 15 847 802 1649 1633 16 422 1649 178 MEMBERSHIP BY AGE AND GRADE, OCTOBER 2, 1967 Grade 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 18 Totals Boys Kdg. 9 77 1 87 1 14 101 5 120 2 15 73 16 104 3 30 88 5 123 4 11 66 9 86 5 22 73 6 1 102 6 12 64 9 1 1 87 7 10 75 9 94 8 8 63 7 1 79 Other 1 1 1 1 1 5 c~�o Total 9 91 117 108 116 94 95 80 94 74 8 1 887 Girls Kdg. 20 65 85 1 20 72 4 96 2 18 73 2 93 3 20 69 5 94 4 19 62 3 84 5 22 74 10 106 6 19 48 5 72 7 17 75 4 0 2 98 8 6 69 2 1 78 Other 1 2 1 4 Total 20 85 90 98 90 89 98 76 86 73 2 3 810 Grand Total 29 176 207 206 206 183 193 156 180 147 10 4 1697 FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHOOL ACCOUNT : 1967 Appropriation $751,918.50 Return of Petty Cash Account 25.00 EXPENDITURES School Committee 1,041.76 Supt's Office 16,709.47 Supervision 37,440.35 Principals 51,934.98 Teaching 439,414.51 Textbooks 13,917.61 Library 2,683.92 Audiovisual 1,492.06 Psychological Services 420.00 Attendance 50.00 Health 7,174.90 Transportation 75,668.87 Food Services 559.75 Athletics 483.29 Custodial Services 44,521.92 Heating 14,358.91 Utility Services 13,983.99 Maintenance : Grounds 970.72 Bldgs. 12,258.57 Equipment 1,520.24 Replacement of Equipment 6,182.08 Acquisition of Equipment 4,334.82 Programs with Other Districts 3,074.52 Total Expenditures Unexpended Balance TOTAL SCHOOL ACCOUNT $751,943.50 750,197.24 1,746.26 $751,943.50 SPECIAL ACCOUNTS ADULT VOC.

YARMOUTH _ REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1967 DEN NIS -YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE REPORT As has been the custom for the past several years, the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee met in January with Selectmen and Finance Com- mittee representatives from member towns. This joint meeting has been most beneficial and productive, since it affords an opportunity to discuss in detail the District Budget prior to the Annual Town Meetings. It was possible to credit from Surplus Revenue over $155,000 to reduce the assessments due from Dennis and Yarmouth in 1967. Records indicate that, over a ten-year period, an average credit of 15% of total budgets has been voted by our Committee. Regular meetings have been held on a semi-monthly basis, as provided in the District By Laws. It has been a pleasure 'to extend invitations to various individuals and delegates of local organizations who have requested an audience with the Committee. In March, it was learned that Glenn E. Shealey, a D -Y graduate in the Class of 1965, had been selected as recipient of the "Scholarships Anonymous" award, to study in Germany during the summer months. This is a singular honor — a source of justifiable pride to both the awardee and the District as a whole. As a part of the exchange student program, two seniors are enrolled at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. Clara Castaneda comes to us from Cardoba, Republic of Argentina, under the Rotary International Student Ex- change Program, while Odin Ralainony, of Fianarantsoa, Republic of Malagasy, is the American Field Service International Scholarship exchange pupil. At the Annual Meeting in April, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Nathaniel H. Wixon, Chairman John A. Hastings, Vice Chairman Harold L. Hayes, Jr., Secretary -Treasurer At this time, a resolution was offered in behalf of Mrs. Marion (Baker) York for her many years of dedicated service as a teacher at Dennis -Yarmouth. Regional High School, as well as at the Yarmouth High School. The enlarged summer school enrollment and results accruing from the session were very gratifying. This program has filled a genuine need in bridging the gap for many of our own students and others requiring supplemental courses of instruction. The Committee, acting in its capacity of Trustees of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District Scholarship Fund, has received with gratitude the gen- erous contributions to this fund. Besides the donations which have been given regularly each year, two new Memorial &holarship Funds have been established: the William P. Frost Memorial and the Stephen A. Kimball Memorial. The latter fund has already swelled to over $2,000.00. Repayments on loans issued to former students have also increased the amount available for disbursement. In 1967, $1,150.00 in scholarship grants were awarded to deserving students. 7 From U. S. Treasury Bill Investments, premiums totaling more than $7,000.00 were added to Miscellaneous Revenue receipts. It has been the continuing policy to maximize the investment potentiality of all moneys in custody of the Treasurer. We, the members Of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee, ex- press appreciation to the Selectmen of the Towns of Dennis and Yarmouth for having graciously permitted the inclusion of this Annual District Report in their Annual Town Reports. It is hoped that the citizenry of both municipalities will find this to be a salutory innovation and that .the practice will be a recurrent one. Respectfully submitted, NATHANIEL H. WIXON, Chairman JOHN A. HASTINGS, Vice -Chairman HAROLD L. HAYES, JR., Secretary -Treasurer ROLAN•D E. CONNORS JOSEPH G. CURTIS ALFRED C. KELLEY RICHARD L. WHIPPLE J. TRACY WIGGIN DEAN B. YOUNT 3 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee: I herewith submit my tenth report as Superintendent of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. FACULTY CHANGES Please note enumeration of teaching staff in report of the Principal. ACCREDITATION The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School is an accredited high school. MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance was carried out as necessary during the past year. The custodial force during the past year has shown a concerted effort in keeping the building in an excellent condition at all times. NO SCHOOL SIGNAL The Regional School Committee will close school only in cases of extreme weather conditions. Parents are urged to exercise their personal judgment as to the wisdom of sending their children to school. The No -School report will .be given, through the courtesy of the manage- ment of WOCB, as soon as the station comes on the air on the day in question. EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATES Employment permits may .be issued to boys and girls between the ages of fourteen and sixteen to work only when the schools are not in session. Part-time and full-time certificates for boys and girls between the ages of sixteen and eighteen are issued at the office of the Regional High School. Personal applica- tion must be made and evidence of date of birth must be presented. This has been a year of encouragement and progress due to an energetic and imaginative faculty that has endeavored at all times to aid, assist and advise the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School students. Space is once more becoming a problem and during this coming year, talks will once again get under way for the consideration of an addition to the present school. It is with pleasure that I call the readers' attention to the other departmental reports. Respectfully submitted, ALFRED R.

Once again, our entering Freshman class was larger than the number of pupils in our graduating class. We have increased our enrollment to 954 (October 1, 1967) and our staff exceeds the number of classrooms available for instruction. Expansion of facilities will be necessary in the near future. At present there is a need for additional classrooms, more facilities for our physical education and art programs, and enlargement of areas for our guidance and library departments. We are making great efforts to improve our instruction and offerings in our Science areas. At D -Y one year of science is required of all pupils for graduat- ing, but many pupils are taking additional courses. The growth of the Earth Science, Biology, Electronics and Chemistry programs is encouraging. General. courses are now offered in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. We have completed a 'Chemistry -Biology switch -over, so that Chemistry will be a Junior course and Physics will be taken in the Senior year. Another addition is an advanced Biology course given in the afternoons. Our Oceanographic Club continues, featuring activities in cooperation with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Please see the report of the Science department head for additional information. We are particularly happy regarding the growth of extra -curricular pro- grams. Besides our well-rounded and successful athletic program, club activities continue in Visual Aids, Photography, French, Spanish, Latin, Code and Key Clubs, Student Council, American Field Service, Red Cross, Nursing,,Teaching, Stamps, Chess, Archaeology, Drama, Driftwood (literary magazine), Band, High School Glee Club, Freshman Glee Club, Orchestra, Majorettes, National Honor Society, Science, Conservation, Radio and Chef's Clvb. All clubs have generated considerable interest and there is a large degree of participation by pupils. • These two areas, science and extra -curricular clubs, have been chosen for this report because of their improvement. Other areas of growth are reported in the department reports that follow. May I express my gratefulness to the Superintendent of Schools and the School Committee for their continued encouragement and support of our programs. Sincerely, WALLACE A.

Donors to the Scholarship Fund have been: Cummaquid Inn, Yarmouth Trust Fund Commissioners, Yar- mouth Chamtber of 'Commerce, Yarmouth Post #197 - American Legion, South Yarmouth Woman's Club, Dennis -Yarmouth -Brewster Teachers' Association, Scholarships Anonymous, Angelo's Super Markets, Inc., Marguerite P. Garland, Cape Cod Sports, Inc., Howard Barnes Munroe Memorial, Peter Maxtone-Graham Memorial, Yarmouth Police Wives' Association, Yarmouth Police Relief Asso- ciation, the Friday Club, and the Massachusetts Hotel -Motel Association. The last-named donation was given in appreciation of the D -Y choral group's concert presented at Lighthouse Inn. We have had the privilege of granting $2,275.00 in scholarship awards, $1,375.00 of which were made from the following specifically -established funds: Scholarships Anonymous, Yarmouth Trust Fund Commissioners, Yarmouth Cham- ber of Commerce, South Yarmouth Woman's Club, and Peter Maxtone-Graham Memorial - the remaining $900.00 having been drawn from the general scholar- ship fund, composed of the balance of all other contributions 'made since the inception of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District Scholarship Fund. With two exceptions, the recipients were 1966 graduates, all of whom have ac- quitted themselves with distinction in the colleges of their choice. A member of the 1964 graduating class was selected to study abroad during the summer of 1966, assisted financially by funds emanating from Scholarships Anonymous. A similar award has already been made to a 1965 graduate, who will have the opportunity to enhance his scholastic program by attending school in Germany this summer. The sincere gratitude of the Trustees for the continuing participation of all gracious contributors is, we feel sure, re-echoed by the students who have bene- fited from the awards made possible by their gifts to the Scholarship Fund.

Downey, Director Although guidance had its 'beginning in the early 1900's, it was not until the early and middle fifties that the present comprehensive programs began to flourish. I am sure that many people whose school experiences ended before that time often ask "Who is this school counselor?" . This question was given long and careful study by those in the profession, and answered in a "'Statement of Policy for 'Secondary School Counselors" adopted by the American School Counselor Association in 1964. In condensed form, the secondary school counselor is: 1. .A professional educator with specialized graduate -level training in coun- seling and related guidance services whose major concern is for the normal de- velopmental needs and problems of all 'the pupils for whom he is responsible. 2. An integral part of the school staff, a member of the "pupil personal services" team. 14 3..•A person dedicated to the idea that a pupil will enhance and enrich his personal development and self-fulfillment if given an opportunity to experience an accepting, non -evaluative relationship in which he is helped to better under- stand himself and his environment and the relationship between them. 4. A person who perceives: a. each pupil as a unique individual who has a right to acceptance, self - development, self-fulfillment and self-direction and who has a respon- sibility for making decisions and living with the consequences of these decisions. b. the school as a democratic institution which may, in its necessary em- phasis on group instruction and variety of program, create some con- flicts for individual students, the mediation of which is an important part of his role. c. society as an ever-changing, complex structure offering endless chal- lenges and opportunities to its individual members, the strength of which is ultimately dependent upon the contributions of each of its members. d. himself as a member of the school staff with the professional com- petencies, behavioral science and understanding, philosophical orien- tation, and position within the school necessary to provide professional counseling and related guidance services to pupils. The counseling process, a one-to-one relationship, is the heart of the guidance program. To this end, the Guidance Program at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School is being centered on the individual student through counseling and a variety of other activities. Counseling sessions usually deal with occupational, vocational personal or social problems. Teachers, school administrators, and auxiliary agencies refer students. In many instances pupils themselves seek counseling services. Each student was scheduled for an -interview at least twice during the school year, while many students were seen on far more frequent occasions. Last spring, each student was scheduled on an individual basis and given an opportunity to discuss future goals with his counselor, in order to plan a realistic program of study. During this period, Mr. Embler, Mrs. O'Donnell, and I were available six evenings on six consecutive weeks to allow ample time and opportunity for parents to discuss the program of study with us. Preceding the individual scheduling, an Open House was held on one eve- ning during the early spring to inform parents of the program offerings and to discuss the curriculum within each department. The chairman of each depart- ment presented his own goals and expectations. During the early fall, an evening program was presented to parents on the necessary procedures to follow in helping their children to select courses required for admission to college. Toward the end of October the fourth annual All Cape College Day was held at Bourne High School, with over forty institutions of higher education represented. More than one hundred and forty D -Y Juniors and Seniors attended this program. Several times during the year a guidance newsletter, "Guidelines," is pub- lished to disseminate the vast amount of educational and vocational information that is received in the guidance office. Programs of an educational and vocational nature have been presented to the student body by representatives from colleges, business and industry, and the armed forces. An orientation program was presented to the eighth -grade students of both Dennis and Yarmouth in cooperation with the elementary school administrators. Last spring the guidance personnel visited the elementary schools and discussed various aspects of high school life with the eighth grade students. Early in June, the eighth -graders were brought to the high school for lunch, a tour of the facilities, and an additional orientation session. This orientation program is continued during the first term of ninth year to help freshmen to adjust more quickly to the high school environment. The guidance personnel have represented the school at all major regional and local guidance conferences during the past year and will continue to do so in the future. Faced with an ever-increasing enrollment, the guidance program must con- tinue to expand and grow. In order to keep pace with the needs of a large student body it will soon be necessary to add additional counselors as well as other pupil personnel specialists. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Christos Socorides, Chairman It is my pleasure to submit to you my first report of the English Department of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. The staff of the English Department is composed of eleven teachers, three of whom are serving in teaching capacities in other departments also. There are 48 sections of English, 22 sections of college preparatory English, 23 general sec- tions, and one commercial section at the junior level. There are also two speech classes at the senior level. Six English teachers are new to the system. The basic philosophy of the English Department aims at achieving the fol- lowing goals: 1. To give students command of the subject matter of literature and lan- guage. 2. To instruct students in the science and skills of language, i.e., knowl- edge of how language functions, its variety of levels of usage, and its semantic changes. 3. To instruct the students in the art of verbal and oral communication. In order to achieve the breadth and scope of these goals, the Department has submitted a five year plan, under the NDEA Title III project, for the re- organization and enrichment of the English curriculum, and the improvement of instruction through a multi -media approach of texts, teaching machines, audio- visual equipment and computer assisted instruction. It is our ultimate aim to provide highest quality education for all our students whether they be college bound or pursuing a specialized trade. Most significant of all perhaps is the 16 training of students in the arts and skills necessary for them to have in order to assume a responsible role in the demands of good citizenship. One of the major responsibilities of a department chairman and particularly of one new to the system is to get to know his staff well and to understand them in order to create a rapport favorable to the improvement of instruction. An atmosphere of understanding and cooperation is necessary also for the promotion and realization of aims significant to quality education. To a great extent I have been most fortunate in receiving sincere cooperation from my staff, from the guidance counsellors, Mr. Webster and Mr. Bearse, and from Dr. Johnson. Their candid observations, suggestions and recommendations have aided me considerably in gaining insight and perspective concerning the strength and weaknesses of the department. MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Charles L. Jaillet, Chairman As the school population continues to increase, it becomes imperative to envisage 'a long range program of expansion, both on the physical plane and from the curriculum enlargement point of view. It is, in the main, from this long range perspective that this annual report is submitted. For the past ten years, this department, being aware of progressive changes, and in order to keep up with these, has 'been most fortunate in securing the co- operation of the administration, and has added new teachers and materials to increase the efficiency of the teaching. The staff has grown from one to five teachers, and the .program from a two year plan to a four and a possible five year plan of study. The staff has, for the most part, remained constant. Successively, audio-visual equipment has been added as well as many other innovations, which, after careful study, have enabled the department to keep abreast of the newest trends in the field. The evaluation of texts. and associated testing material and the securing of these, have been matters of vital importance. This past year under Title ILII grants, • three new tape recorders, a film strip projector, screens, and other teaching aids were made available. Film strips of the Mauger text with tapes, and tapes of the Dale and Dale intermediate course were added. Reference books and encydlopedias, as well as other practical mate- rials, were also acquired. Recently the state supervisor of Modern Languages appraised us and was most favorably impressed. Plans for the future include some of the following, now under departmental study: a) The securing of additional teachers to take care of the increased enroll- ment and to allow for smaller classes and more efficient groupings. Along with this would be plans for curriculum expansion. b) The consideration of installing a language laboratory with a competent teacher in charge. c) Additional equipment so that each teacher may have at hand all the necessary aids. d) The department head should be relieved of all except a minimum number of classes to allow more time for supervision and coordination between the Junior High School and the Senior High School. 17 e) Consideration should be given to adding German to the modern language curriculum. There has been considerable demand for this subject. f) Finally, the department will continue, as it has done in the past, to work efficiently and be ever on the alert for whatever progressive develop- ments may be under consideration. Through departmental meetings, the visiting of other schools and attendance at forums and conferences, there would be afforded an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and opinions. There is every reason to believe that, in,.spite of the growing tendency toward scientific and technological programs, the value of foreign lan- guages will always be recognized and that there will continue to be a demand for these — from both the cultural and practical points of view. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Stanley M. Daggett, Chairman Submitted herewith is my annual report as chairman of the Mathematics Department of Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. Teaching assignments for the school year 1967-1968 are as follows: Courses Enrollment Mr. Daggett Algebra I, Algebra II, Math V 120 Mr. Grander Algebra II, Math IV, Geometry 100 Mrs. Walsh Algebra I, Geometry, General Math I 110 Mr. Barca Algebra II, Geometry, General Math I 120 Mr. Butler General Math I, General Math II, Senior Math 100 Mr. Foster Algebra I, General Math I 120 This year, for the first time, the seniors taking Math V are studying calculus for the full year. In some sections we have been able to cover more material in the Algebra, Geometry and Math IV classes so that these students, as seniors, have the background for a beginning course in calculus. During the year I haye attended three meetings of mathematics department chairmen of southeastern Massachusetts. These meetings have been organized by the State Department of Education and give us an opportunity to discuss mutual problems. Much of the discussion has dealt with curriculum content and the effects of new programs such as the School Mathematics Study Group, the University of Illinois Committee on School Mathematics and the College Entrance Examination Board. The influence of these experimental programs can be seen in the change in the content of the newer algebra, geometry and general mathematics texts. There is an atmosphere of change in the mathematics curriculum today and this should continue to lead to improvement of programs. BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Priscilla M. Tinkham, Chairman It is a pleasure to submit this report of the Business Education Department of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. The Department is proud of its dedicated teachers, its excellent facilities, the rapport among students and between 18 teachers and students. We are cognizant of the ever-increasing significance of business education to "all" students; that is, any student desirous of studying any of the subjects offered in.the Business Department may do so. It has been our experience that one or two years of Bookkeeping may pro- vide the stimulus for a student to pursue accounting as a career. Business Ma- chines, Shorthand, and Typewriting may stimulate similar interests. We are living in exciting, challenging times, with automation as the key word. But Business Education must continue to place emphasis on responsibility, dependability, the ability to get along with others, and the acquisition of skills and knowledge to enable one to earn a living. The Department is revising its curriculum. We are making plans to increase the number of subjects offered within the Department. It has always been one of our goals that typewriting be available to every student. This aim will con- tinue, but our immediate plans are to offer Personal Typewriting to College - Course Freshmen for one-half year. Business students will continue to study Typewriting for an entire year. Shorthand will be .enriched by an additional two periods per week of Transcription with emphasis on the mechanics of Eng- lish. College -bound Seniors will be encouraged to enroll in a new course, either Notehand or Briefhand. The Office Practice course will broaden its scope. It will include an understanding of the principles of filing, a review of fundamental arithmetical computations, practice of telephone etiquette, and the improvement of secretarial and typing skills. Students — both boys and girls — learn voca- tional competency in the operation of business machines. Additional training is made possible on two I. B. M. Selectric typewriters. Other makes of both manual and electric typewriters are brought into the machines room for use by the students. The acquisition of five new Olympia manual typewriters to the Typewriting I room now makes it possible for students to have experience and training on several makes of manual typewriters: Remington, Royal, Smith -Corona, Under- wood. Many students enroll in Business Law, where they acquire an appreciation and an understanding of the application of the principles of law as applicable to themselves and to business. This class visits the District and Superior Courts of Barnstable. During the second year, Typewriting is taught on electric typewriters. Stu- dents perfect their skill; speed and accuracy are emphasized, and the practical application of typewriting is made possible through the use of business and legal forms. Several students are presently employed in clerical positions, and business students are encouraged to take Civil Service examinations. Business Math is a prerequisite for the study of one and/or two years of Bookkeeping. This course is offered to Sophomores. As Freshmen, they may have enrolled in General Business which provides an introduction to business practices and procedures. Films and slides are used as supplementary material for all subjects within the Business Department. The Department expresses its appreciation to Mr. Gilbert Muir and the boys of the Audio -Visual Department for their helpfulness and cooperation. We welcome Mr. Charles E. Corkum to the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School and to the Business Department. 19 VOCATIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT Andrew H. Miller, Chairman I would be remiss if I did not begin my report with mention of the "fringe" members of the Industrial Arts Department and note that their efforts bear "fine fruit." The reports of both the Art and Home Economics are made by Mrs. Pstuline Hopkins and Mrs. Doris Loomer, respectively. All the teachers in these two areas do an excellent job. Within the Department proper, Power Mechanics (Mr. Scott Cleaves, In- structor), Boatbuilding and Printing continue to serve the students without evi- dence of overcrowding. The largest project in the Boat Shop, at the moment, is a patrol boat for the Yarmouth Shellfish Department, similar to the one built a few years ago for the Dennis Department, from a design suggested by Mr. Nathaniel Wixon. As the school population is growing so rapidly, we are experiencing some problems in the Drafting (Mr. Gordon Spence' and Mr. Cleaves) and Industrial Arts/Woodworking (Mr. M.,Alden James) areas. It became necessary, because of space limitations, to arbitrarily close out enrollment, at specified grade levels, at the beginning of the year. Apparently some thought must be given, in the planning for future building expansion, to additional facilities. HOMEMAKING DEPARTMENT Doris M. Loomer, Chairman I am pleased to submit the report for the Home Economics Department. Mrs. Barbara Baudo and I have eight classes (two for each level) and they are utilizing our present facilities to the limit. The foods demonstration table that is on order and.two more sewing machines are needed for more efficient work, in four of our classes. In order to provide room for growth, we are working with the Guidance Department on the feasibility of omitting the Sophomore year of Homemaking and of having the girls take their required science course that year. This would open up time for a third Freshman section and for an elective single period course for older girls on such subjects as "Consumer Education," "Interior Decoration," and "Home Nursing." For the younger girl, the course is general and is designed to meet the needs of the early adolescent girl — with units in personal and social relationships, child care, foods and nutrition, clothing, and some housing and management. With Junior and 'Senior girls, the emphasis is on the factors involved in establishing a home and in developing the ability to make wise decisions in all phases of homemaking. Several worthwhile field trips are taken each year, and speakers from the local community help to add variety to the classes. All D -Y Senior girls benefit from the Betty Crocker Homemakers Test. Such events as our popular Christ- mas Tea, the Senior May breakfast and Spring Style Show continue to provide opportunities to enrich the year's work. In essence, we believe our courses should be of interest and benefit to all girls — whether altar -bound or college -bound. 20 ART DEPARTMENT Pauline L. Hopkins It is my pleasure to report to yogi for the year 1967. The past year has been one of productivity and accomplishment. About 30 pieces of work were accepted for the State Scholastic Art Show in Boston. Jane Schauwecker's monoprint was a Hallmark nominee. This means that it was selected as one of the four best entries out of 8000. There were also numerous gold key and blue ribbon awards. We were pleased with our staging for Finian's Rainbow — particularly the tree, which had a very life -like quality. The annual art show was visited by about 250 guests and the Peter Maxtone- Graham scholarship was awarded to Patricia Stackhouse for the best competitive portfolio. Four seniors are now enrolled in Art schools in addition to the six who were already there. All are doing well. Mr. Pearson is indeed a happy addition to our department. Our classes continue to be large and enthusiastically received. An art department, in order to perform well, must have a happy climate in which to work; also, it must have good tools and materials to turn our superior results. Our Superintendent and School Committee always see that we are well supplied. The enthusiasm and endorsement of the community is also an asset and, for this, we are grateful. MUSIC DEPARTMENT Charles E. Tourjee, Chairman I am pleased to submit my eleventh annual report as director of music. The following events took place during the musical year at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School: January - Harwich Grange Hyannis Grange Dennis Woman's Variety Show Cape Cod Festival Auditions at Harwich February - Band to Boston Garden to entertain during Celtics game on Cape Cod Day March - Broadway Musical, "Finian's Rainbow" Cape Cod Music Festival at Falmouth New England Music Festival at Burlington, Vermont April - Band plays for Gym Meet May - Spring Festival, Dennis, Yarmouth and Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School, Grades 4-12 'Chorus entertains Hyannis Kiwanis Club Three parades (May 30) Dennisport, South Yarmouth, Brewster Baccalaureate Services at High School June - Graduation September - Football (Martha's Vineyard) Attend 'Marine Band Concert at Barnstable Football (Wareham) 21 October • Football (Bourne) (Barnstable) (Falmouth) (Fairhaven) November Football (Dartmouth) (Wayland) (Old Rochester) Massed Band Rehearsal at Barnstable for Cape Cod Day at Boston Patriot's Football Game Auditions for school musical "South Pacific" December Santa Claus Parade in Hyannis Chorus sings at Riverway Restaurant New England Festival auditions at Boston University (39 students) Chorus sings at Hyannis Kiwanis Chorus sings at South Yarmouth Town Office Annual Hayride combined with Code & Key Clubs, caroling at rest homes, hospital and Hyannis Center.

Christmas Pageant in cooperation with faculty members, Mr. Pear- son and Mr. Thompson For the first time at D -Y, the Music Director is busy in just daily periods of music instruction as follows: Band - 64 students Chorus - (grades 10, 11, 12) • 80 students Chorus - (Freshman) • 64 students String Ensemble - 5 students Music Theory - 12 students After returning from Christmas Holidays, the following additional after- school functions will be scheduled on a once -a -week basis: Combined Chorus • hopefully 130.140 students Orchestra - 15 students Boys' Barbershop Chorus • 15-20 students SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Edward York, Chairman I feel that the science department has experienced a very successful year. We have extended our curriculum by including a second year course in elec- tronics taught by Mr. Anthony Corriea. Miss Karen Anderson has introduced an extra -curricular laboratory course in biology. This couse is open to those students who are taking chemistry and who have completed a course in biology. We welcome Mr. Philip N. Wherity to our department as our first full- time earth science teacher. This freshman course is proving quite popular, as shown by an enrollment increase of 76% over that of last year. Our chemistry -physics sequence is in the process of being reversed so that chemistry will be taught as a junior subject and physics as a senior subject. One of the main reasons for this change is to enable students to gain an additional year of mathematics prior to their study of physics. In the spring of 1967 the science department sponsored a science fair which was held in the school cafeteria. Over 280 exhibits and projects involving more than 550 students were open for public viewing. The eight judges selected 22 winners in each of three categories. Susanne Shealey and Thomas Harrison were our first place winners in the individual category. Both were second -place winners at the Bridgewater Regional Fair, and Miss Shealey won a second place ribbon at the Mass. State Science Fair at M. I. T. Our students have had field trips to a number of interesting lectures and conferences, such as: the Science in Action Conference at U. Mass in Amherst, Boston Museum Lecture Series, Bell Telephone Research Laboratories in Natick, and lectures sponsored by the Cape Cod Community College. Always concerned with professional improvement, several of our teachers attended the regional conference of the National Science Teachers Association which was held in Boston this fall. SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT Walter C. Hewins, Chairman I hereby submit my report of the Social Studies Department for 1967. Our program of studies at Dennis -Yarmouth is aimed at a student under- standing of economics and world governments, past and present. In the Senior year the student has an opportunity to compare existing economics and world governments and pinpoint problems in these areas. However, we do not exclude social, cultural and religious areas. Listed below are the courses offered and the instructors assigned to each course. 9th Grade: Ancient History Mr. Thompson 9th Grade: Civics Mr. Liberty 10th Grade: World History Mr. Carter 10th Grade: Economic Geography Mr. Hanson 11th Grade: U. S. History Mr. Hewins Mr. Malloy Mr. Aldridge Mr. Hanson 12th Grade: Contemporary Government Mr. Aldridge Mr. Doherty 11th and 12th Grade: Economics and Psychology Mr. Malloy The following is a typical program wefeel to be sound — particularly good for the college preparatory student. The program is a continual building upon information gained in the previous course. The student in the 9th grade studies ancient history, which develops a foundation for a later study of the modern world (10th grade). In the 11th grade a concentrated course in U. S. History is offered. Using the background information gained in grades 9 through 11 the student studies contemporary world affairs basically from an American point of view, with emphasis on comparative governments. The non -college student might be more interested in substituting Civics for Ancient History in the 9th grade and Economic World Geography for World History in the 10th grade. We believe that this program also maintains a logical sequence of courses. For a more comprehensive program, we encourage as many students as pos- sible to elect either Economics or Psychology in the 11th or 12th grade. 23 Thus we have altered our 9th grade program by requiring a student who is taking Ancient History to study •Civics for one term. This brief course involves an understanding of federal, state and local government. This knowledge is then compared with ancient governments which are studied as a part of the Ancient History course. Our Civics students study, for one term, ancient political, social and economic thought, and understand whence ideas for our government and culture were derived. This change has been well received by students and teachers. Also, in 1967, an attempt was made to coordinate the Social Studies pro- gram at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School with that of the two junior high schools. We of the Social Studies Department feel that work must be continued in this area. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Merrill D. Wilson, Chairman It is with pleasure that I submit my eleventh annual report as Physical Edu- cation Director of Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. This past year the school enjoyed one of the most successful athletic years in its history. All of our teams that participated in leagues were champions, co -champions, or strong contenders throughout the season; and our newly formed gymnastic team made a very fine showing in independent competition. The greatest number of boys participated as members of these athletic teams — in- cluding cross-country, a new sport offered for the first time on a formal basis. It should be noted that we now offer for boys a choice of three sports in each season: 'football, soccer, and cross-country in the fall; basketball, hockey, and gymnastics in the winter; baseball, track, and golf in the spring. I would also like to mention how gratifying it has been to see the student body support these teams in a most enthusiastic manner. All in all it has been a very successful year, and credit has to be evenly divided among the administration, coaches, partici- pants, and the entire student body. Our enrollment in the area of Physical Education continued to grow in number. If I may, I would like to take this opportunity to stress the need of additional facilities in the near future if we are to continue a successful Physical Education program. With a total of almost five hundred boys participating in Physical Education classes and a similar number in the girls' program, we are in dire need of more teaching stations and locker room area and facilities. An addition that would include a number of multi-purpose rooms or a field house type of structure would be most welcome at the earliest possible time. Presently we are working with a facility that was built eleven years ago to accommodate a student body of five hundred. Projected figures show a 1968 fall enrollment of over a thousand students. Largely because of the whole -hearted cooperation of students, every phase of our sports program has worked out well, despite crowded conditions. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Frances R. Woods It is with pleasure that I submit my annual report to the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee. This is the first year that there have been two instructors in the women's Physical Education department. The students are now receiving more individual 24 help and a larger area of activities is being presented. Since more teaching sta- tions are needed with the increased student population, the visitors' locker room and the old boat room .are in use during the day for some of the classes. We have worked on physical fitness in these rooms and plan to work also on some type of exercise to music. The objectives of physical education are to reach the students physically, mentally and socially. Physically it reaches them through activity; mentally, through the rules which must be learned; and socially, through dealing with others. Our program is divided between individual and team sports. In an indi- vidual sport, the student can learn self-satisfaction and control of her body. In a team sport, she must learn how to work with others in a constructive manner so that her team can win. In the fall, physical fitness, field hockey, tennis and speed ball are presented as class activities. The winter sports consist of a physical fitness program, basketball, tumbling, volley ball, gymnastics and exercise to music. During the spring, the activities in the program consist of track and field events, softball, soccer and physical fitness. In our inter -scholastic sports program, the girls are involved for the first year in the ,Capeway Conference. The sports included in this program are field hockey, basketball and softball. We will miss our association with the other Cape schools, but this change will give us larger and more competitive schedules. This year for the first time there have been intramural volley ball teams. Student interest was high and the results were gratifying. There were twelve teams formed with twelve girls per team. These teams met in the afternoon as the schedule provided. Due to the enthusiasm of the girls we hope to make this an annual event. LIBRARY Marguerite P. Garland, Librarian It is with pleasure that I herewith submit my annual report as Librarian of • the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. Each year the school curriculum is expanded to meet the requirements of a progressive world. It is the function of the library to implement the educational program, by providing sufficient reference and research material in all subjects. All materials are selected with consideration of their value to the existing collection. Teachers are consulted and asked to recommend books for purchase to enrich the courses they teach. The extensive work being done by the Problems of Democracy, Civics and Social Science classes has made it necessary to add more periodicals, as well as other reference material. There has been a decided increase in the circulation of magazines. For this reason there is a great need for microfilm readers and for as many magazines as possible on microfilm. We have added many books this past year to the literature, fiction and biography sections to meet the needs of the English classes. High standards of reading are noted each year by the librarian. This is due to the concentrated work being done by the teachers of English. 25 With the science classes now making more demands on the library, we are adding many new science books to our collection. Title II has helped us to enlarge this section as well as some others. During the last summer session the library was kept open full time, as we found that students used the library both periods. More books were circulated than in any previous year. With the continued growth of the school and the greater demands on the library there is a definite need for library expansion and for a full-time assistant librarian. Books circulated since January 1 total 7033. Of these 3982 were non-fiction and 305.1 fiction. Magazine circulation reached 2243. AUDIO-VISUAL DEPARTMENT Gilbert Muir, Chairman Once again, it is my pleasure to submit my annual report. As one drives around the community, noticing the changes taking place, he finds the growth of our area overwhelming. The prediction that the coming year will see more than 1000 students enrolling in our high school can easily be under- stood. When I first taught at Yarmouth High School the figure was one-fourth of this number. In those years little thought was given to Visual Aids. Now, every school has such a department, which plays an important part in enriching the program, since pictures make understanding more complete. I endeavor to show through my records where we have been, where we are, and where we might be going — covering the various areas of my work. It is through such records that recommendations and planning for the Audio -Visual department can be made for the future. So far this year, the supervision and direction of movies alone has meant a matter of approximately 950 class periods, plus the time necessary to supervise the use and care of the remaining equipment. None of this could have been done efficiently without the real help that I get from many students and the willingness of teachers to operate equipment. Several of my boys deserve much credit for their willingness and interest, not only during school hours, but in all activities where the Visual Aids department gives a helping hand. SUMMER SCHOOL John W. Downey, Chairman The 1967 Summer School student enrollment and class enrollment was the largest since the inception of the program. A registration fee of ten dollars was initiated for all resident students, and was refunded to all who completed their summer school courses. This was done in an attempt to combat the fairly large drop-out rate that had been experienced in the past. The success of this system can be judged in light of the fact that the drop-out rate was cut by more than fifty per cent. Twenty-three classes were taught in eighteen different areas. The mathe- matics courses proved to ,be the most popular in terms of enrollment. New courses added to the curriculum were General Art and Driver Education. Both attracted considerable interest. The Art class sponsored a public art show at the end of the summer term. 26 Seventy-seven Dennis -Yarmouth students attended the summer session, while seventy-four students. attended on a tuition basis. The remainder of the student body was made up of students who were summer residents of the towns of Dennis and Yarmouth. In addition to the new courses already listed, our curriculum included Eng- lish 9, English 10, English 11, Composition, French I, French II and III, Spanish I, Latin I, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Introduction to Physics and Chem- istry, Marine Biology, Remedial Reading, Developmental Reading, Typing, and Introduction to Hand and Power Tools. Faculty members from our school system were Mr. Peter Barca, Mr. Donald Bell, Mrs. Dorothy Evans, Mr. Philip Egan, Mrs. Marguerite Garland, Mr. Russell Grander, Mrs. Pauline Hopkins, Mr. Charles Jaillet, Mr. M. Alden James, Mr. Thomas Kelly, and Mrs. Grace Walsh. Mrs. Ellen Baker, Mr. Donald Gates, Miss Mary Leary, Mrs. Lucile Lovejoy, and Mrs. Ann MacPherson completed our faculty. HEALTH DEPARTMENT Marion Mitchell, School Nurse Again I am pleased to present my annual report. All students were screened on vision and hearing according to Massachusetts State Law. Failures were reported to parents or guardians and, in most cases, prompt remedial action was taken. Assistance was given to Dr. Howes, who examined all students in grade ten and all athletes prior to sports participation. The number of physical defects found was minimal. As part of a nation-wide public health immunization program, two clinics for students were held during the year. In January, a Tine tuberculin skin test was offered to students in grade nine. A little more than half of the class par- ticipated, with parental permission. In May, a tetanus -diphtheria boostei was offered to students in grade ten, with•slightly over one-third of the class returning the permission forms and re- ceiving the booster. Over ninety per cent of the adult personnel at the school took the T -D booster. In November, a polyvalent type of flu vaccine was administered to all faculty and school personnel who so desired. Response to this was excellent. DRIVER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Philip T. Egan, Chairman It is with great pleasure that I submit my report of the progress of the Driver Education Department for the academic year of 1967.1968. The purpose of the course is to teach the student the proper techniques of, and the proper attitudes for, safe driving — as well as the moral responsibilities involved. As of this date (December 21, 1967) forty-five students have been certified as pre- scribed by the Registry of Massachusetts Motor Vehicles. 27 A new class is now under way with forty students enrolled. I anticipate that all forty of these students will be certified and licensed at the end of the course. When this is accomplished, another class will begin in late winter or early spring with approximately the same number of pupils involved — hopefully, with the same result. I would estimate at the conclusion of the school year in June, 1968, that approximately 125 will have been both certified and licensed to drive. 28 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Committee Office Summary of Accounts and Balances — December 31, 1967 1000 ADMINISTRATION Appropriation Transfers In Expenditures Transfers Out Balances 1100 School Committee 1100311 Professional Salaries $ 1,750.00 $ 124.99 $ 1,874.99 — 1100312 Clerical Salaries 8,225.00 — 8,007.05 — $ 217.95 1100314 Contracted Services 750.00 26.33 776.33 1100315 Supplies & Materials 400.00 304.12 704.12 1100316 Other Expenses 950.00 883.04 $ 66.96 1200 Superintendent's Office 1200311 Professional Salaries 5,675.00 5,666.66 8.34 1200312 Clerical Salaries 2,000.00 1,900.00 100.00 1200316 Other Expenses 300.00 — 61.09 — 238.91 2000 INSTRUCTION 2100 Supervision 21003.11 Professional Salaries 4,600.00 173.07 4,773.07 21003.11a Department Heads' Salaries 4,000.00 4,000.00 2200 Principal's Office 2200311 Professional Salaries 21,680.00 466.12 22,146.12 — — 2200312 Clerical Salaries 7,660.00 — 7,103.57 556.43 22003115 Supplies & Materials 1,700.00 404.20 2,104.20 — 2200316a Other Expenses (Regular) 600.00 13.11 613.11 2200316b Other Expenses (Travel) 300.00 87.99 387.99 2300 Teaching 2300311 Professional Salaries 2300311a Professional Salaries - Regular 230031 lb Professional Salaries -Substitutes 2300311c 'Professional Salaries -Coaches 2300315 Supplies E' 'Materials 2300315a Supplies & Materials -General 2300315b Supplies & Materials - Art 2300315c Supplies & Materials - Shop 2300315d Supplies & Materials - Household Arts 2300315e Supplies & Materials - Radio 2300315f Supplies & Materials - Music 2300315g Supplies & Materials - Commercial 2300315h 'Supplies E.
