As a result of your committee's observations and deliberations, we respectfully submit the following recommendations : 1. As litter—beer cans, bottles and other assorted debris—are most distracting to the general appearance of our com- munity, we believe a truck should be purchasedand per- sonnel employed for the primary purpose of keeping our roadsides and parks—exclusive of beach and picnic areas— in sightly appearance. Acting on information supplied by residents and business men, this. truck should respond to calls to pick up litter. It should be under the supervision of the Town Highway Department 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 maintained throughout the year for use of residents in off 20 season. Survey shows that the use by residents is not con- fined 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, Car- rol DeSilver 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 dedi- cated to reviewing the overall appearance of our communi- ty throughout 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 gen- eral 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 individual's active work toward the objective of this committee. We also believe this committee should carry on through volunteers 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 Selectmen 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 encourage more green areas and plantings to be prevalent in so-called shopping plazas. 7. We respectfully request Yarmouth Selectmen to petition the Judges of Barnstable Courts to be more stringent re- garding litterers when brought to court by our police. 8. Your committee would like to see the curbings along our highways 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 Yarmouth 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 21 out litter, and wherever they believe a fire or health hazard exists reporting it to the Fire Department. By so doing, people of our community could measureably con- tribute to the betterme:it 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 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 bounded by water, Yarmouth offers or provides few either Town or commercially 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 ; one to improve the boating and beach facilities at Gray's Beach, Yarmouth Port; and two, the improvement of dockage and facilities 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 22 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 repair of the Packet Landing bulkhead ; and a sum of money for additional lights and water at the same bulkhead.

No other changes are made in the sev- eral Constitutional provisions relative to action by the Governor upon such measures. QUESTION NO. 2 Do you approve of the adoption of an amendment to the con- stitution summarized below, which was approved by the General Court in a joint session of the two branches held August 30, 1966, received 188 votes in the affirmative and 46 in the negative, and in a joint session of the two branches held May 10, 1967, received 174 votes in the affirmative and 78 in the negative ? SUMMARY The proposed amendmentof the Constitution authorizes the Legislature to impose an income tax graduated according to the total income, and authorizes the granting of reasonable exemptions, deductions and abatements, as an alternative to the exercise of the Legislature's existing power to tax income under Article 44 of the Amendments to the Constitution. Without limiting the fore- going authorization, the proposed amendment permits any such tax to be imposed at a uniform percentage of an individual's fed- eral income tax liability or at graduated rates applied to his total income taxable federally, and it permits reasonable variations ' of any federal provision. It requires that the graduated rates, exemp- tions, and deductions be set without regard to the kind of income being taxed.

The office will become vacant following a declaration of disability by the Gov- ernor himself or by the Chief Justice and a majority of the Associ- ate Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court, or such other body as 57 the Legislature may provide. The vacancy will terminate four days after the Governor declares that no disability exists, unless (1) within that period the Chief Justice and majority of the Asso- ciate Justices, or such other body provided by the Legislature, should make a contrary declaration and (2) within another stated period the Legislature, by two-thirds of each branch present and voting, then determines the issue contrary to the Governor's declar- ation. The same procedure will also apply to a Lieutenant Governor who in the case of a vacancy is performing the Governor's duties. The proposed amendment also requires the election of a Gov- ernor for the unexpired balance of the four-year term if a vacancy in the office of Governor as described in the proposed amendment continues for a six-month period expiring more than five months prior to a biennial state election other than an election for Gov- ernor. QUESTION NO. 4 Do you approve of a law summarized below, upon which the House of Representatives did not vote and upon which the Senate did not vote? SUMMARY The proposed law provides that the official ballot in the bien- nial State election for the year 1970 shall contain a question asking the voters whether there shall be a convention in 1971 to (1) re- vise, alter or amend the constitution of the Commonwealth on the following subjects, insofar as they relate to the structure of govern- ment, and no others: the Executive Branch; the General Court; the Executive Council ; the government of cities, towns and coun- ties and their relationship to each other and to the government of the Commonwealth; (2)simplify and rearrange the constitution, and (3) provide methods of amendment thereof. The question will state that the convention shall not consider or propose any measure which relates to the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, the provisions of the Massachusetts constitution concerning the "Judiciary Power" (other than provisions respecting the Execu- tive Council), or any of the excluded matters enumerated in Ar- ticle XLVIII, II, Section 2 of the Massachusetts constitution. The question will fix the number of delegates to the convention at 150, of whom 20 members shall be members of the General Court ; the remaining 130 members shall be elected by the voters in the man- ner summarized below. The question will also state that the con- vention shall conclude its business not later than 120 days from its first session. 58 The proposed law provides that if a majority of the votes on the foregoing question is in the affirmative, the convention shall be held in July, 1971 to revise, alter or amend the constitution on the matters enumerated above only. The House of Representatives and the Senate shall each elect as delegates 10 of its members, not more than 6 from each branch coming from the same political party. Of the remaining 130 delegates, 10 shall be elected at large and 120 shall be elected from the 40 senatorial districts, 3 from each. Provision is made for the manner of nominating and electing these 130. delegates, without party or political designation, for fill- ing vacancies occuring in the position of any delegate, from what- ever source chosen, and for the conduct of the convention's business. Any revisions, alterations and amendments of the Massachu- setts constitution adopted by the convention shall be submitted to the people at the State election in 1972 for their ratification and adoption in such manner as the convention may direct. If a majori- ty of the people voting thereon ratify and adopt such revision, al- teration or amendment, the constitution shall be deemed to be changed accordingly. The proposed law also provides that if the vote on the question to be submitted at the biennial State election in 1970 is in the affirmative the Governor shall appoint a preparatory commission of 5 members to compile data to aid the convention in the discharge of its duties. Each member of the commission shall receive com- pensation of $10,000 and the commission may expend a sum not in excess of $200,000, as the Governor may approve, for its expenses. QUESTION NO. 5 A.

Darling Howard W. Marchant John G. Sears BOARD OF ASSESSORS ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPT. 1968 Barnstable County Commissioners Gentlemen : I am pleased to submit this report of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1968. Public Law 89-749, the Comprehensive Health Planning and Public Health Service Act of 1966, more commonly known as the "Partnership for Health Act of 1966' has stimulated action in Mas- sachusetts. 86 The United States Congress declared "that fulfillment of our national purpose depends on promoting and assuring the highest level of health attainable for every person, in an environment which contributes positively to healthful individual and family living. Federal financial assistance must be directed to support the mar- shalling of all health resources—National, State, and Local --to assure comprehensive health services of high quality for every person." A State Comprehensive Health Planning Program for Massa- chusetts was established within the Executive Office for Adminis- tration and Finance on June 23, 1967 and began functioning with the appointment of a Director on April 28, 1968. The Director of this department had the privilege of being appointed to the Gov- ernor's Council on Comprehensive Health and looks forward to serving on this important council. For this planning Barnstable County is in Region 7 and in the "Barnstable" area, which is composed of Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket Counties, and the Town of Wareham. This department's personnel have always devoted a great pro- portion of their time in helping to establish health needs, helping to initiate programs when needed, coordinating services, and serv- ing as advisors and consultants in their specialty. The staff con- tinues to take an active part in many community health activities and in their professional organizations. The social worker vacancy was filled at the end of this year. After a period of orientation and review a statement of her services will be made available to appropriate agencies in the County. On September 10, 1968, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health made available mumps vaccine to immunize students in the 7th, 8th. and 9th grades who have no history of mumps or receiving mumps vaccine. The junior high school group was select- ed for the initial phase of the program because the incidence of complications from mumps is highest in adolescents and adults. Five towns in Barnstable County have completed a program for this age group. Dental Health - Alice Dalzell Dental hygiene service in Barnstable County in 1968 was a combination of direct service to pre-school programs and schools. educational programs to communities and schools, consultation and research. Every town on the Cape was covered with some kind of dental program or consultation. Two schools, Nazareth and Holy Trinity, which had never received service before, were added to the list. Much work was done at the pre-school level. During the sum- mer, topical fluoride treatments were given to children entering the Orleans School System. The Dental Hygienist was a member 87 of the team consultation group to Head Start groups and programs, both summer and year-round, and gave direct service to these pro- grams. All children were screened and some fluoride treatments were given if the child had not had the treatment previously. Many parent classes were held which gave an excellent opportunity for dental health education. An Epidemiological Study to determine the fluoride content of tooth enamel was conducted in the Barnstable School System. This study was a co-operative effort with the Forsyth Dental Re- search Center, Massachusetts Division of Dental Health, Barnstable County Health Department, and the School System, and financed through a research grant to Forsyth. Children in grades 4 and 5 of the Hyannis East Elementary took part in the study and the County Hygienist was the clinician. Results of this study have not as yet been compiled. During Dental Health Week, February 4-11, a poster contest was held in conjunction with the Cape Cod Dental Society and the Council in Dental Health. All sixth grades on the Cape were in- vited to participate. Winners were presented water-pics and elec- tric toothbrushes. There were radio interviews, TV spot announce- ments, and many articles on dental health in the newspapers. Many educational programs such as assemblies and classroom talks were held in the schools as special programs during Dental Health Week. However, much of this dental education is carried on through the school year. The new Fluoridation Law, which passed the 1968 Legislature, has demanded much attention. Under the new law, local Boards of Health, with the approval of the State Health Commissioner. have the authority and responsibility for recommending fluorida- tion if they deem it in the public interest. As with many new laws, people are not always sure how to proceed properly under the statute, and calls for advice and assistance, speakers, etc., have been numerous. The cost of dental care makes fluoridation of water supplies a must for the prevention of tooth decay. Water fluoridation is a controversial matter and much needs to be done to inform the communities that the benefits far out -weigh the fears. The new law assures healthier teeth for growing children with bene- fits extending into later life - stronger bones for adults is one such benefit. Environmental Sanitation - Richard Sturtevant All inspectional programs were performed according to the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code which included eating and drinking establishments, recreational camps, family type camp grounds, public and semi-public swimming pools, and sewage dis- posal inspections. Local Boards of Health were assisted in sewage disposal approval where special problems existed. 88 Other activities included approval of day care centers, public and private school inspections, sub -division approvals, bathing beach approvals, shellfish control, field inspections for tick control. and epidemiological investigations. The amount of time devoted to these activities can be realized by referring to the statistical summary in this report. We are pleased to note that some towns have proceeded to acquire public lands for future use for solid waste disposal and public water supplies. In the near future a study • will have been completed by the Cape Cod Economic and Development Advisory Commission relative to water supply, solid waste disposal for Barn- stable County. Members of this department are working with the Commission in making this study. Nursing - Esther G. Howes One of the major goals for 1968 had been "to provide more direct supervision for each public health nurse." Because con- tinued "certification" for Medicare coverage requires the provision of supervision, written agreements were drawn up between six towns and the Barnstable County Health Department. These agree- ments meant a new relationship with the public health nurses, be- yond that of answering requests for help and imparting information on new programs. Direct supervision includes knowledge of cases and case management, of the behavior and performance of nurses, and includes a committment to the employers of nurses. This means a periodic evaluation and report to the employer as to the nurses professional growth and her ability to maintain standards of public health practice. There are 52 public health nurses employed now in the Coun- ty, 17 are prepared, and all of the agency nurses now have nursing supervision. The school nurses continue to be pre -occupied with personnel policies ; however, there is need for many to demonstrate their ability in curriculum planning and health education, and to propose new ways of using non-professional helpers. Areas of service provided this year have been: Inspection and consultation to Day Care Centers. Guidance and coordination of health component of Head Start Programs. Preparation for Medicare certification for one additional town. Assistance in expansion of service and program in Falmouth and Bourne. Instruction and field experience in public health nursing super- vision for a student in the graduate school of Boston University. Instruction of several classes of Homemaker Recruits on "Per- sonal Care Aspects." Consultation to Cape Cod Community College Health Services Director. 89 Maintenance of the Tuberculosis Case Register for the County. Coordination and liaison for the Crippled Children's Program in this area. Membership and committee chairman in several local health and welfare organizations.

Emphasis has been on proper immunization, especially with the new requirement that all children be immunized properly before entering school. •Our nurses have found that home follow-up visits are most essential to ensure good health practices, prevent spread of infections, and clarify the doctors recommendations. The cooperation and assistance from town officials has been appreciated by our staff. Respectfully submitted, Amelia C. Beauregard Executive Director 92 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD During 1968 the Board met 23 times, 17 public hearings were conducted during these meetings on plans being submitted for final approval. The Board also reviewed 27 preliminary plans and 66 Approval Not Required plans. Of these, only two plans failed to receive approval. The Board attended many joint meetings with other Cape Planning Boards to discuss our common problems. We were also represented at the Governor's Council on Environment held in Boston last May. Two members of the Board attended a 10 week Community Planning Seminar at the Community College from October to December. This year we have prepared four articles for the town warrant regarding proposed zoning changes in the following areas : Cluster Development, Apartment Building, Business & Industrial, and Minimum Lot Sizes. We have tried to prepare an equitable pack- age and we urge the voters to accept the proposed changes as a step toward conscientious community planning. The Planning Board collected $1178.00 in fees from developers submitting plans for approval. Harold H. Williams - Chairman James Mc Vey - Vice Chairman E. Kenney Baker Arthur S. Bent Jr. Arthur Johanson REPORT OF THE VETERANS' AGENT District Board : Frank Hicks, Mashpee, Chairman Carl Hiler, Sandwich George L. Cross, Barnstable H. Raymond Darling, Yarmouth Kirkwood Brown, Dennis Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : This is my Tenth Report as Veterans' Agent and Director for our District Department of Veterans' Services. Many new laws and benefits have been passed to assist the veteran and his dependants in many ways. Most recently, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts passed a Vietnam Bonus, which says in brief that any veteran serving to the credit of Massachu- 93 setts could receive $300 if he served in Vietnam, or $200 if he served in any other area ; also they must have been in the service for 180 days or more. This department not only aids veterans and their dependants in a financial way, but we assist the veteran to enable him to receive the many benefits that he can receive being a former serviceman. This year statistically speaking were as follows : Permanent Temporary Total Cases Barnstable 55 66 121 Dennis 7 8 15 Mashpee 9 7 16 Sandwich 7 3 10 Yarmouth 21 16 37 Total 99 100 199 Telephone incoming calls 2568 Telephone outgoing calls 1400 People coming into office 1800 Bonus applications given out 789 This Department wishes to thank the Board of Selectmen and their various Town Departments for their splendid cooperation during the year. Respectfully submitted, Charles H. Cross, Director and Agent REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF PLUMBING January 3, 1969 To the Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth : I hearby submit my report as Inspector of Plumbing for the year 1968. During the year I made a total of 1,115 Inspections. At this time I would like to express my appreciation to the Selectmen and the Personnel of the Town office for the wonderful cooperation I received from them during my term as your Plumbing Inspector. Respectfully Submitted : James J. McDonald Inspector of Plumbing. REPORT OF THE 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 December 31, 1968. Clams are in fair amount but are in small, spotty areas around the Town. These areas have a good yield. Quite a few of these areas have good seed just under the two inch limit; if they survive the winter they will be legal size this year. Quahogs are in a little more plentiful than clams. It was hoped that we were going to plant more than our usual six hundred bush- els but due to the increase in price we were held to the six hundred bushels. We paid more for these quahogs but received a much younger and healthier quahog. The extra money, I think, was well worth it. Oysters are still being experimented with. However, the ex- periments show the raft system of growing oysters is the only safe way at the present time. This year we are adding two additional rafts. These rafts keep the oysters separated on strings for better feeding, also keep the oyster off the bottom from its predators. The '67 - '68 scallop yield was very low. Seed scallops, qua- hogs and clams suffered high mortality due to the long freezing period we had last winter which set us back a year in some of our planning. If the seed scallops survive this winter, it should be a good year in the 1969-1970 season. Our predator control throughout the Town will continue. It has been proven that this is a must for the future of shellfish. This department welcomes all shellfish minded persons' help in killing these predators. The worst predators are the starfish, horseshoe crab, conch. moon snail and the Oyster drill. If you know these enemies of shellfish, and see them, place them somewhere out of the water where they will die. Everyone you kill makes for better shellfishing. People are also sometimes an enemy of shellfish. I'd like to take this time to thank those who phone me regarding people fishing on non -fish days, and people who take more than the legal limit in shellfish. This is a great help, as it is hard to cover all the areas at once. Again, I will ask all permit holders to kindly fill out the back of their permits regarding their catch. This is a big help to this department in future planting and planning.

Steele, Commissioner Dept. of Community Affairs 100 Cambridge Street Boston, Massachusetts 02202 Mr. Thaddeus Buczko, State Auditor State House Boston, Massachusetts The Yarmouth Housing Authority is pleased to report that in the calendar year 1968, we progressed our initial major mainten- ance program. It consisted of the installation of aluminum gutters and downspouts on the Community Building; refinishing patio around the Community Building and painting trim of porches of tenant buildings and Community Building. All defective floor boards on porches of tenant buildings were replaced. A tractor type, 32" lawn mower complete with electric starter, was placed in service. Fire extinguishers were installed in 40 apartments. We are contemplating the erection of a chain link fence around three- fourths of the Housing property and chain link fence complete with double security gates at the covered bridge. Improvement in land- scaping of the housing grounds is proposed during 1969. The Housing Project consisting of 40 units has been fully oc- cupied for the entire year and there are on file approximately eighteen applications for future admission from Yarmouth residents. 96 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, 1968 is : Income including State Aid $35,424.16 Expenses 31,860.81 $ 3,564.35 Respectfully submitted, John H. Carroll, Chairman Spear T. Holway Howard A. Spurr Hervey L. Small REPORT OF HIGHWAY SURVEYOR Dec. 20, 1968 To the Board of Selectmen : In 1968 the Town accepted sixteen new roads of which thirteen were completed and three carried over to 1969 pending water installations. Reconstruction was done on four roads—Wood Rd., Indian Memorial Drive, Lewis Rd. and Abells Rd. All roadsides were loamed and seeded. Five existing Town roads were resurfaced and seven miles of roads were seal coated. 2076 feet of sidewalks were constructed on Station Ave. and 711 feet on Route 28. A section of Sea View Ave., 1594 feet, was paved using Chap- ter 90 money. We installed 68 catch basins and laid 1519 feet of drainage pipe in various problem areas. A large leach pit was made at Capt. Small Rd. and Capt. Bacon Rd. to take care of a serious water problem. 54 new street signs were put up, many being replacements for damaged or stolen ones. James C. Marsh, Highway Surveyor. 97 REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1968. Present number of active services 6452 Services installed during 1968 472 Gallons of water pumped 510,212,951 The continuing growth of the Town in 1968 is reflected in the fact that the Department installed 472 service connections, another all time high. Water Department revenue reached $318,366, an in- crease of $8,366 over 1967. To meet this continuing growth, the engineering has been nearly completed and the expansion under the $1,200,000 bond issue authorized at the 1968 town meeting is about to get under way. This will include : 1. Two new wells and pumping stations in the Plashes well- field area. 2. One new well and pumping station in the North Main Street wellfield area. 3. Mains throughout the town including such areas as : Winslow Grey Road Buck Island Road Old Town House Road Old West Yarmouth Road Great Western Road North Dennis Road 4. The Town is also acquiring two parcels of land in West Yarmouth for use as future wellfields. The maintenance and operation budget for the department in 1969 is approximately $42,600 more than 1968 and results primarily from the following factors : 1. $30,000.00 has been budgeted for services to be installed in the Swan Lake area. These are to be done as soon as the installation of mains is completed and is in addition to those which will be installed as a part of our regular expansion of services. 2. Increases in the number of personnel and wage increases as authorized by the Personnel Board. 3. Rising costs of construction materials. 4. Increases due to the operation of a larger and older system. The Commissioners are asking this year for $15,000. for the locating and testing of additional new well sites. It is our feeling that the continued growth of the Town will soon make additional wellfield locations impossible to either find or purchase at reason- able costs. 98 During 1968 the Water Department lost one of its Commis- sioners. Elwin Coombs had given over a quarter of a century of service to the Town as a Commissioner and the high standing of the system and its solid foundation for future growth are a testi- monial to his dedication and constant effort to assure the citizens and taxpayers that their monies were properly and honestly spent. He will be remembered by all for the engineering skill and con- stant concern for future expansion that he brought to bear on the problems which faced the Water Department while he served on the Board. Mr. Thomas E. Kelley of South Yarmouth was appointed to the vacancy on the Board. His professional background and under- standing of problems of public utility orientation have made him a most valuable member. The Board looks forward to the year ahead as one of orderly growth and continued expansion. Frederick J. Thacher Roger G. Edwards, Jr. Thomas E. Kelley Board of Water Commissioners 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 648 Building Permits, for construc- tion estimated ;to cost $7,504,434.00 were issued from this office. These permits include all new dwellings, commercial buildings. garages, accessory buildings and alterations. Of the 648 Building Permits issued, 433 were for new dwellings. The estimated cost does not include the new school in West Yarmouth. Fees collected and paid to the Town Treasurer from building permits were $3,441.00. Respectfully submitted, Alexander Catto Building Inspector 99 REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH TRAFFIC COMMITTEE, 1968 We, of the Yarmouth Traffic Committee, think we know how an expectant mother must feel. It seems hard to believe, but con- struction is about to start on our long-awaited Buck Island Road, Technically this is a 1969 action for we advertised for bids in January, 1969. Just before going out to bid the State estimated we would have to revise our prospective cost upward, possibly as much as 15%. We feared that the time element and inflation had caught up with us so that we would have to rush into a town meeting, hat in hand, and ask, for more money. We had our big- gest thrill to date, when we received a bid that was comfortably close to the original estimate and the funds available. The Committee is impatiently awaiting the completion of the outside engineer's drawings for the other big projects : Forest Road and Old Town House Road. Our Committee participated in the planning of several con- nector or secondary roads such as the extension of Wood Road in South Yarmouth. At a meeting held with a group of merchants suggestions were presented with a view toward improving an area of serious traffic problem. The recommendations were well received by the group and are, being considered. No immediate action will result as there is the possibility of the group embarking on substantial building change. We were unaware of their plan which would be of great benefit to their section of Town. The confidence Yarmouth has shown in this Committee and the reception given our programs is greatly appreciated. As stated, our current attention has been directed toward the Buck Island Road. It is our feeling that we should have a road in existence before we can, in conscience, come before you with the need for more funds for our other projects. We remind you that we are your committee; we want our ef- forts to reflect your wishes. To do this we must know what you, our fellow townspeople, want. Therefore, we again invite you to give us your ideas and suggestions. We cannot close a report without acknowledging the excellent help and cooperation we have received from the Town Engineer's Office ; also the support given by the Selectmen and the Planning Board. Respectfully Submitted, Yarmouth Traffic Committee 100 GOLF COURSE COMMITTEE REPORT 1968 was a record year for the Bass River Golf Course as our income of $120,956 far exceeded the 1967 figure of $92,365. It should be pointed out that $5,838 of this year's total was returned by the Town to the golf cart leasing agency that was engaged by the Club under approval granted at last year's Town Meeting. A large portion of our increased income is directly traceable to this rental program which became operable last July. The automation of the irrigation system was completed late in 1968 and as early as next year resulting course improvements can be expected, together with more efficient use of water, fertil- izers and manpower. During the past year long time Commission member Darrell R. Shepherd resigned and H. Freeman Cash was appointed to fill the vacancy. It is appropriate to thank Mr. Shepherd in this report for his many years of service to the Town of Yarmouth and to wel- come Mr. Cash to the challenging responsibilities of this Com- mittee. As mentioned in last year's report we propose to continue to improve both our course and the services we offer to golfers in order to compete effectively with the many new courses around us. We are fortunate in having a competent clubhouse staff and maintenance crew headed respectively by Pro -Manager Walter Hewins and Superintendent John Morse. To a very large degree the success of our operation rests on their capable shoulders. It is our sincere belief that the people of Yarmouth have in the Bass River Golf Course one of the finest recreational facilities to be found on Cape Cod. The tax payers are to be commended for their astuteness in purchasing this property in 1953 for only $85,000 and for their continuing willingness to improve this valu- able asset. COMMISSIONERS : Nye Crowell, Chairman Lloyd L. Simmons, Secretary Charles J. Ardito H. Freeman Cash Kittredge B.

They were distributed among various categories as follows : Construction of new dwellings 30 Additions, alterations and repairs to existing buildings 24 Walls and fences 4 Commercial signs 3 Total 61 Mr. John E. Harris had, in 1967, been appointed to the Com- mission for a temporary term expiring December 31, 1968. On De- cember 10, 1968, at a special meeting conducted at Lyceum Hall, Yarmouth Port, Mr. Harris was unanimously elected a member of the Commission for a four-year term beginning January 1, 1969. The members of the Commission were gratified and encouraged by the manifest good will and support of the residents of the District. Ralph W. Harwood, Chairman Albert Niemi Paul W. Stewart, Secretary Frederick C. Schauwecker, Jr. John E. Harris. REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEERING DEPT. January 1, 1969 TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH The Engineering Department has been very busy as usual on many projects throughout the Town. In addition to the usual duties on road layout and construction work, Planning Board in- spections, Assessors mapping, and waterways projects, 1968 has seen the layout of two new well fields and the advancement of the Buck Island Road project to the point where construction should begin shortly. The construction of a new Planning Board office adjacent to our offices has provided better storage of Planning Board records and will facilitate our work in conjunction with that Board's re- sponsibilities to the whole Town. 102 The Department was very fortunate to have acquired the old Fire Department pick-up truck which was obtained several years ago for the Town through the efforts of Robert Edwards, the Town's Civil Defense Director. This useful vehicle was made available to us when the Fire Department purchased a new vehicle, and enables us to field a second crew for many of the small but necessary staking jobs, preliminary surveys, and locational surveys as well as the previously mentioned Planning Board work. The Department has prepared eight new road layouts for ac- ceptance at Town Meeting and has drawn six new Assessors maps covering various areas of new growth in the Town. We wish to thank all Departments, Town Officials, and citi- zens of the Town for their continuing help and co-operation with- out which our work would be most difficult. Respectfully submitted, John L. Newton, Town Engineer REPORT OF THE IMPROVEMENT AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE Plans were made in the Spring of 1968 to brighten the appear- ance of the memorial areas in town as part of our effort this year. The removal of two overgrown evergreens at the Melix Memo- rial allowed the tablet to be seen and be framed by the two remain- ing woody shrubs, and to be decorated with geraniums and flags by the American Legion. Incidentally, later in the year the Yarmouth Post No. 197 appointed a committee to assist in the supervision of all memorials. At the Yarmouth Common, a new bed for planting of ever- greens and annuals was made by James Rosston, who also donated personally to this work. We are grateful to our member, John G. Sears III for designing this as it frames the boulder there and makes it more in proportion with the size of the Common itself. He also designed the plan for Carroll De Silver Square. The raised mound of annuals at Carroll De Silver proved most effective, we think, but due to the drainage work by the Com- monwealth, the proposed plan was not completed. Hopefully, the Commonwealth will improve the condition of the grass in 1969, and we plan the removal of the evergreen shrubs (which are a traffic hazard) and substitution of lower growing evergreens in 103 the same area to balance the island. Mr. Thecdore Small of the Green Spot Garden Center donated the plants and arranged them on the newly constructed mound. Baker Memorial was planted with annuals and new low grow- ing shrubs which replaced old ones with the labor and planning donated by Jon Holmes. Due to the poor curbing and turf, we feel we did not get the most effective results there. We do hope that in the new future the Commonwealth will follow through with their plans for improvement and/or relocation. The Junior Girl Scout Troop 723 of Yarmouthport deserves commendation for the atractive planting at the Village Pump and the Friday Club for financing the cost, also Alexander Catto for decorating it at Christmas time with greens and lights ; and South Yarmouth Jr. Girl Scouts with assistance of William Letteney, Park Superintendent, who planted rosebushes at the Windmill in Bass River ; and members of the S. Y. Troop of Boy Scouts and the Jaycees who assisted in picking up debris on the south side of town. Your committee felt it was important to preserve the appear- ance of the town property in South Yarmouth adjacent to the site of the former Town Hall so a fence was erected to enclose it to prevent cars from driving over the grassed area. Several overgrown cedar trees were removed by the Highway Department as they detracted from the other attractive trees and shrubs. This is a pleasant spot and perhaps could use a bench or two far better than the Mall where the birds who inhabit the trees overhead make sitting impossible. It is difficult to know how to improve the Mall because of poor growing conditions there. The Highway Department did replace broken fence posts and reseeded the turf. The island opposite the Town Hall created by the relocation of Wood Road was cleared, graded and filled. A heavy coating of pine needles was applied with the idea of beautifying this area but still keeping maintenance to a minimum. It is our intention to plant naturalstic flowering shrubs and wild flowers here in 1969. Your chairman has spoken to several civic groups, guests have been present at our meetings, and we continue to discuss future projects such as further improvement at the Yarmouth Playground; a thorough study and detailed plans for one of our most important tourist attractions, the windmill on Bass River, which was built in 1791 by Judah Baker of South Dennis and moved twice, the last time in 1863 to its present location ; and work on islands at inter- sections throughout the town. We wish to thank everyone who cooperated with us this year by making suggestions, improving their own home or business properties, or taking care of entrances or islands near their homes, 104 and the town officials for their advice and town departments for their assistance. It is our hope that sometime in the future, care of all town - owned property will be coordinated. In this connection, we hope you will seriously consider and support the expansion of pertinent departments at the annual Town Meeting to assist toward this aim. Viola A. Crowell, Chairman John G. Sears III Sally Silver Nancy Smith Elva Tallman REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN & MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To The Board of Selectmen - Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : In the year 1968, eighty-seven requests were received, and a total of eighty-two ornamental or shade trees were planted along highways within the town. Many of these requests were from those waiting from the previous year for trees, and this year we hope to be able to fill the requests we. weren't able to take care of this year. We have been doing all of the planting of these trees in the late fall, when the trees are in the dormant stage, as they seem to establish a better root growth at this time. These trees are all staked and guyed - for protection from the winter winds. Only a few trees had to be replaced, that did not survive the winter, but eight trees had to be replaced due to automobile accidents. One of these, unfortunately, was a beautiful 6" caliber maple, and a 4" caliber linden tree at Colonial Acres. Six more were planted to replace those that had to be removed because of decay. The town trees were pruned, and cared for as usual during the winter months. DUTCH ELM DEPARTMENT Twenty-three samples of Elm Trees within the town were taken last summer, after showing signs of wilt and discoloration. These samples were sent to the shade tree laboratory, at the Uni- versity of Massachusetts, and only three samples came back show- ing the tree had Dutch Elm Disease, belonging to the town, and had to be removed. Two showing Dutch Elm Disease were private - 105 ly owned, and forms were sent to the owners informing them of the Diseased trees, and notifying them that they must be removed. Fortunately, the remaining trees were victims of the hot, dry sum- mer, which caused them to look wilted, and they were not diseased in any way. The dormant spraying of the Elm trees was .again applied by helicopter during the month of April, and the entire town was completed in the early hours of one clear morning. Roadside foliage spraying of the Elms and other town trees was carried out as usual during the summer months. The sanitation program of pruning, and cleaning up the dead wood in the Elms, was carried on as in the past. INSECT PEST CONTROL The year 1968 was an unfortunate one for the native pitch pine trees on the Cape, due to the infestation of the Nantucket Pine Tip Moth. The current outbreak extends from Barnstable to Truro, the most heavily attacked area is on the South side of Yar- mouth, Dennis, Harwich, and Chatham, according to a survey made by airplane. Control of this insect will be difficult. Areawide control by aerial means is virtually impossible. Spraying will have to be done by Mist Blowers or Hydrolic Sprayers and two applications of either Malathion, Sevin, or D D T, will have to be made in the Spring, while the moth is still in the larvae stage. Once the damage starts to show on the trees, the moth is inside the tip of the pine needle, and no amount of spraying would do any good, at this stage. As far as can be determined, there is only one generation a year in this area. There are over thirty known species of parasites which attack the Nantucket Pine -Tip Moth. Evidence has been noted which indicates a parasite buildup, and Charles S. Hood, Chief Superintendent of Insect Pest Control for Massachusetts, who came to the Cape in August, to examine the situation and meet with all local Tree Wardens and Selectmen, has guaranteed us that the current outbreak will collapse, and it is hoped that this next season will see this collapse, before any more damage is done, and before this pest spreads to other areas of the Cape. The Pitch Pine is a tough tree, and it is not expected that there will be any whole- sale death of affected trees. However, some of these trees will die, but that is because these are trees that were suppressed or weak in the first place. I will be working closely. with the selectmen, other local tree wardens, and Mr. Hood, this Spring, as to the exact time to spray, and the type of spray they decide to use. 106 The new Poison Ivy Sprayer, purchased by the town last year, enabled us to give better coverage along roadsides and beach areas ridding these areas of poison ivy. Beach and Park areas were also sprayed this year for Wood Ticks. Respectfully submitted, Jon L. Holmes Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH COUNCIL ON AGING To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth The Yarmouth Council on Aging is an entirely new idea for the Town of Yarmouth and the programs and projects set up by this Council have been a resounding success. The seven members of the Council were appointed by the Selectmen in April 1968 and on May 1, 2550 Questionnaires were mailed to the residents of the Town of Yarmouth, 60 years of age and over. On August 1, after the completion of the Street Lists, an additional 319 Questionnaires were mailed, making a total of 2869. As of December 31st, 1968, 797 of these Questionnaires were re- turned. On May 6, 1968, the Yarmouth Council on Aging joined with the Dennis Council on Aging and opened an Information and Re- ferral Service Office in the Yarmouth Town Office Building. As of December 31, 724 persons registered at the office and received Official Identification Cards entitling them to a 10% discount on prescription drugs at the three drug stores in the Town; a special admission price to matinee movies at the Center Theater in Hyannis; haircuts for $1.00 for those men living on Social Se- curity or a small pension at one barbershop in town and special prices for the ladies at one beauty shop in town. Seven persons are taking advantage of the Telephone Life Line Service for per- sons living alone who wish to be called once a day. Contacts making these calls are all volunteers. The Service Office is manned by 12 volunteers of Dennis and Yarmouth, and on November 13, a Supervisor Clerk was hired by the Councils to take full responsibility of this Office which is open 107 4 hours a day, three days a week. Home calls were made on those residents who indicated in their Questionnaires that they were in need of counseling, by a volunteer, qualified Social Worker. The Service Office referred persons to Social Security, Medicare, Medi- caid, Veterans' Services, to the Red Cross for transportation to doctors and hospitals and to other volunteers who transported per- sons without transportation. Letters were written to Blue Cross and other agencies for those persons needing help on particular problems. Programs were held once a month for the elder citizens at the Ezra Baker School in South Dennis and the D -Y Regional High School in South Yarmouth and attendance ranged from 56 to 316. Bus trips to Boston, Marthas Vineyard and to the South Shore Shopping Plaza are very popular. "Milestones" the information bulletin began with a mailing list of 593 in September covering both Dennis and Yarmouth and in December the mailing list cov- ered 903 - 698 to Yarmouth residents. The problem of transportation is under consideration by a committee and plans for a Senior Adult Center to open on April 1, 1969 in temporary headquarters are underway. This Center will be used for classes in oil painting, crafts, crewel work, small recre- ational programs and for working on community projects as checked by those persons returning the Questionnaires. The members of the Council and elder citizens are grateful to the Dennis -Yarmouth Jaycee-ettes for transportation to pro- grams ; to the Dennis -Harwich Lions who donated the electric typewriter for the Service Office and to the Selectmen and to all employees in the Town Office Building for their co-operation and courtesy. The Council feels that the Town of Yarmouth can be proud of this new asset to the community. Respectfully submitted, Dorothy M. Schoonmaker, Chairman Yarmouth Council on Aging REPORT OF THE TRUST FUND COMMISSION To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Yarmouth. Gentlemen, On Wednesday, August 21, 1968, the Trust Fund Commission- ers of the Town of Yarmouth met in the Office of the Town Treas- urer. All Commissioners were present; namely, Derge D. Bear, 108 Walter Marchant, Jr. and Theodore G. Meinerth. Also participating in this meeting were Gerald O. Cash, Town Treasurer and Dorothy P. Wildey, Assistant Town Treasurer. The first order of business was the election of a chairman of the Commission. Theodore G. Meinerth was so elected. A discussion and analysis of the following Trust Funds ensued, recommendations for the disposition of income from each Fund being here noted. 1. Frederick E. Howes, Perpetual Care Fund ; the principles of this Fund being $500.00. As in the previous years, the Town Treasurer may automatically transfer income to the Cemetery Commission for the proper disbursement for perpetual cemetery care. 2. Alfred V. Lincoln Fund; the principle of this Fund being $1,- 000.00. The Commissioners noted that it was voted in a prior meeting of December 4, 1964 to turn over income to the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth ; however, since the original Organization, namely, The Village Improvement Society of Yarmouth Port, to which this Fund was designated by the Lincoln Will, is still extant, Mr. Bear was requested to investigate the Society's status from its last known officer, Mr. John Harris. Appropriate future action will be taken upon receipt of Mr. Bear's report. 3. Joshua Sears Playground Fund; the principle of this Fund being $15,000.00. Since no request has been received for the use of currently accrued interest, it was voted to add this income to the interest income savings account. 4. Frederick E. Howes Educational Fund. Accumulated interest income to be devoted to the purpose of "furtherance of edu- cation in the High School at Yarmouth." The Commission request- ed that the Town Treasurer notify the High School that funds were available, and, that upon receipt of written request for the use of these funds, appropriate action would be taken. No written request has been (received. 5. James Knowles Memorial Scholarship Fund. The Commission noted that income from this fund, beginning in 1965, is being awarded deserving students in the form of a Scholarship at Dennis - Yarmouth Regional High School. This income is being divided three ways annually. 6. Ellen Chase Scholarship Fund. A decree from Suffolk County Superior Court changed the purpose of the Chase Will from the benefit of St. Mary's Infant Asylum to benefit future graduates of Yarmouth High School. Beginning in 1965, income is divided five ways, and awarded as scholarship to deserving Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School students. 109 7. Minnie G. Howland Fund. Under .the direct control of the Selectmen of the Town of Yarmouth. 8. Ellen B. Eldridge Ancient Cemetery Improvement Fund. The Commissioners voted to invest income as follows : a. Purchase of one new Share in the First National Bank of Yarmouth. b. Deposit in a pass book savings account at 4%% per annum in the Cape Cod Co-operative Bank the sum of $600.00. Respectfully, submitted, Theodore G. Meinerth, Chairman Trust Fund Commission Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts REPORT OF THE CAPE COD PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION The year 1968 witnessed the evolution of the Cape Cod Plan- ning & Economic Development Commission into a fully operational regional planning agency. In the spring, long awaited grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the amount of $27,000 and from the Economic Development Administration in the amount of $25,470, were received. The Commission also re- ceived a planning grant from the Massachusetts Department of Commerce and Development in the amount of $4,500. The Massa- chusetts Legislature honored the highest County budget request, in the amount of $47,000, since the Commission 's inception in 1965. These funds enabled the Commission to implement a substan- tial portion of the long range planning program it had formulated during the previous two years. This program of research and plan- ning studies is one of the most comprehensive of its kind in the state and will enable the Commission to effectively function as a clearing house of ideas and suggestions aimed at helping the Towns to work together and separately to create a better Cape Cod. The scope of our studies embraces economic analysis and economic development planning, environmental conservation and land use planning, human resources development, transportation planning, public facilities and capital investment requirements and a con- tinuing educational and local municipal advisory services. 110 The increased funding program also enabled the Commission to employ several consulting firms to work with the staff providing specialized expertise where required. These firms include Design - Science International of Cambridge, serving as environmental and natural resources consultants ; Systems Analysis and .Research Cor- poration of Cambridge serving both as economic advisors and. transportation consultants ; and Metcalf & Eddy of Boston serving as engineering consultants on the regional sewer water and solid waste disposal planning program. CONTINUING PLANNING PROGRAM The principal objective of the Cape Cod comprehensive re- gional planning and economic development program is to identify the significant factors which influence the development of Barn- stable County and to relate them to essential public policy decisions. Four distinct tasks underlie this comprehensive scheme : the gathering of essential facts about Cape Cod develop- ment trends and patterns ; the exploration of solutions to a selected range of prob- lems ; the establishment of a substantial public information and education program ; and the operation of a continuing advisory and planning as- sistance service to public agencies and officials. This program is based on elements which commonly charac- terize regional planning programs, but these elements are tailored to the specific needs of Cape Cod. In addition to gathering in- formation and data and preparing an economic base analysis, several special features are proposed. For example, as a major by-product the program provides for publication of a regional planning atlas for the Cape to portray with maps and graphics the important information produced during the course of the study. This "atlas" will not only provide a dramatic and easily seen overall view of what is happening to Cape Cod, it will also be a valuable analytical tool for future planning by the Commission and the individual towns. The program also directs particular atten- tion to the human resources of Cape Cod, including an appraisal of needs in health and medical care facilities. This is something of a departure from the customary scope of regional planning in Massachusetts. The program will also include study of specific policy prob- lems and opportunities, such as zoning and regulatory require- ments, public open space acquisition by all levels of government, 111 and public waterfront development. Various aspects of the basic tourist industry are specified for study: planned resort areas, marina enclaves, hotel, motel, and apartment house development — because unquestionably the tourist industry will continue as a major sector of the Cape economy. Also designated for special attention are research and industrial parks, the potential for "new towns", i.e., developments similar to New Seabury, the retirement and second homes market, and business and industrial develop- ment assistance. CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEES In the furtherance of creating an effective regional planning agency, the Commission recognized the need to develop and main- tain working relationships with as many local municipal officials, heads of civic groups and interested citizens as possible. Under the able chairmanship of Frederick V. Lawrence, seven standing advisory committees have been created whose membership ap- proximates two hundred persons and who are representatives of virtually all of Cape Cod's social, economic and environmental interests. They are entitled (1) Economic Development, (2) En- vironmental and Natural Resources, (3) Human Resources, (4) Transportation (5) Regional Public Facilities, (6) Development Standards, (7) Governmental Resources. COMMUNITY PLANNING SEMINAR Because the results of planning and development efforts de- pend to a large extent on the ability and knowledge of planning officials at the local governmental level, the CCPEDC with the cooperation of the Cape Cod Community College is conducting on a continuing basis, a Community Planning Seminar, which is designed to improve communications between planners whether they be professionals or non-professionals, and the citizenry. The enrollment last semester exceeded participants, of whom over half, were local planning board members. LOCAL PLANNING ADVISORY AND REFERRAL SERVICE The Commission maintains a continuing local planning advis- ory and referral service thru which town agencies and officials can obtain technical advice and assistance in implementing regional plan recommendations and resolving related local planning and development problems. Numerous communities on Cape Cod have received such as- sistance on various topics ranging from a proposed marine resort zone in one town to a cultural center in another town. 112 While the efforts of the Commission are not easily measured or evaluated on a day-to-day basis, it can be said with a reasonable degree of confidence, that the CCPEDC is well on its way to be- coming an informed and vigorous spokesman forthe basic interests of Cape Cod. And that the individual towns are finding its fact- finding and planning studies to be an increasingly useful guide to local action. Commissioners Thomas E. Kelley James W. Robertson REPORT OF THE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE To : The Board of Selectmen Yarmouth Town Office South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen : It is with pleasure, as Chairman of the Recreational Activities Committee, that I submit this report to you. First may I give you an explanation of just what this committee consists of and the functions of this committee. This is a committee of seven members, whose functions are to deal with Recreational Activities in the town. To lend a helping hand to better all sports, and playground activities. Through the years we have accomplished much which you have heard of and seen. But, there are many more projects in the making, which take time to accomplish. This committee also has complete charge of the West Yarmouth Community Building. We have done a lot of work on this. Such as new storm sash and paint job on the exterior. Now in the process of painting and redecorat- ing the interior. This is your building and we welcome as many as desire to use this building. Give us a call and arrangements can and will be made. We do however reserve the right to make the decisions as to whether or not we should restrict the use. A big project which was undertaken was in regards to a Boat Ramp on Bass River. This has been a long time and much needed thing. We are very happy to report that realization of this project 113 is finally going to be. At the Bass River Beach, at a cost of $53, 000.00, and at no cost to the town, a boat ramp will be constructed. This is expected to be in operation by next summer. It has been my pleasure to serve on this committee and we are certainly looking to the future with regards to bigger and better things for the town. Better Sports and better Recreational Facili- ties. We support, and urge your support, both financial and spec- tator of all the programs, which includes full support of Town Baseball. All Sports are a valuable asset to our Town. Respectfully submitted Richard T.

Gentlemen : During the year just ended, the Department of Wiring In- spections made some 1,400 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 12,000 miles. SO) 114 Respectfully submitted Edmund Fruean, Jr. Inspector of Wires REPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. Submitted herewith is the Report of the Activities and the Report of Arrests of the Police Department for the year 1968. Nineteen sixty-eight has been characterized as the Year of Assassination ; of Student Rebellion ; of the Minority Group Revo- lution ; of the Hippie Movement ; and of the Flower Children. This past year the Cape has been relatively free of Assassina- tions, though several murders were noted. The phenomenon of Student Rebellion has yet to hit the local college or high schools. Demonstrations by Minority Groups have been conspicuous by their absence. However, the Hippie Movement and the advent of the Flower Children have been noticeably present during the summer season with several of their peculiarities rubbing off on some of our local "talent". Along with these "off -beat" hippie -types comes the inevitable increase in the use of marihuana as well as other narcotics and dangerous drugs. Though the smoking of marihuana (or pot) does little to contaminate the air we breathe, it does contribute im- measurably to the contamination of the youth of the area. Alhough there were many arrests for narcotics violations dur- ing the summer months, most people felt that with the coming of fall the off -Cape migration would clear the air. Unfortunately this was (and is) not the case. Representatives of our local youth are seen daily in the Dis- trict Courts being charged with the Possession of Narcotic Drugs; Possession of Narcotic Drugs with Intent to Sell ; Sale of Narcotic Drugs, and, conspiracy to Violate the Narcotic Drug Laws. Ages of these violators range from fourteen years to the early twenties. This situation has prompted your police department to in- corporate into its structure a Narcotics Division. The sole duty of the senior officer of this division will be to supervise the in- vestigation of narcotics cases. He will employ field agents (under- cover men) to make contacts with "pushers" of the area and to make buys of narcotics of any description. »Hewill see to it that these criminals are prosecuted. His work; is: of monumental im- portance to parents of the town for the well-being of your ..child may easily depend on how well he does his job: 115 We, of the police department, earnestly solicit your assistance in coping with this and other areas of criminal endeavor. An aroused and informed public increases and insures the effective- ness of law enforcement. Respectfully, Theodore P.

As stated in last year's 121 Annual Report a systematic inspection program should begin with- out further delay. This has been severely limited as yet because of the present manpower of the fire department. An increase of person- nel is requested this year which if provided will not only help fill the need for available firefighters to work with the call men at fires and emergencies, but will also allow for more inspections that are required by law that can not at present be done. A recent incident that was discovered and that was highly hazardous to life and property involved a process using a product with highly inflam- mable vapors. This process was being done within' a building not designed nor altered to accommodate this type of hazard and con- ditions within the building doing this work were contrary to all reasonable precautions. This is not to condemn the building nor occupant but to point but that the proper inspection prior to this process being started would have resulted in having the proper requirements and alterations made according to recognized author- ities. With the provisions being requested later in this report con- cerning the adoption of the Abbreviated Edition of the Fire Pre- vention Code, a request to the Fire Department and/or the Build- ing Inspector for a special permit to conduct this type of operation would have been made whereby either a representative of the Fire Department Fire Prevention Bureau or of the Building Inspection Department would have made inspection and the proper recom- mendations for safety. The condition of the buildings housing fire apparatus in the town is generally good. Station #2 in Yarmouthport and station #3 in West Yarmouth were painted on the outside during the year and will be scheduled for repainting in 1971 and 1972. The head- quarters station in South Yarmouth is scheduled for painting this coming year and will have to be done again in 1972 or 1973. It is expected that the heating plants in station 2 and headquarters (the old section) will have to be renewed in the near future. A budget item is in the 1969 budget for complete renewal of the heating system in station 3. This system has been causing con- siderable trouble over the past two or three years and repairs and maintenance have not been able to improve the system to any degree of satisfaction. New roof shingles will have to be installed on the north side of the roof of station 2 in the near future and this may have to be done to the old section of headquarters on the north portion of the roof. With the exception of one piece of apparatus, the fire appara- tus throughout the Town is well maintained and in very good condition. Distribution of the apparatus is as follows : Headquarters—Engine 1 (750 GPM), Engine 3 (500 GPM), Engine 5 (500 GPM with 800 gallon tank), 4 wheel drive forest fire truck, Squad truck 122 Station #2— Engine 2 (750 GPM), Engine 4 (750 GPM), Engine 6 (4 wheel drive forest fire truck) Station #3— Engine 7 (1000 GPM), Engine 8 (500 GPM) A new 750 gallon per minute pumper was delivered July 31, 1968 and was accepted and put into service August 13, 1968. This engine was assigned to station 2 and replaced a 1940 unit at that station. It is recommended that a 1942 500 GPM engine at head- quarters be replaced this coming year with a 1000 GPM engine. An article will appear in the Warrant asking for a sum of money to accomplish this replacement. If accepted, delivery will probably not occur until early 1970 as nearly a year is required for delivery after signing a contract. I recommend that the method of transmitting alarms and the method of receiving alarms at fire stations and siren locations in the Town be improved. There exists now a system for sounding alarms that has been in use for about 13 years and is in need of being replaced with modern and more simplified equipment. I feel this should be done before the present equipment becomes totally worn out and unreliable. The proposed system involves completely new equipment at the point of receiving and transmit- ting alarms, namely the fire headquarters, and also at each of the other two stations as well as at each remote siren location. Instal- lation of this equipment would be engineered to provide for present conditions as well as for adaptation to future changes that can now be anticipated. Consideration has been given to the growing number of business properties that are installing sprinkler systems or fire detection systems that are being tied in with automatic alarm notification to the fire department. Fire • alarm boxes at some of these locations will become a reality in the near future and an expanded system along these lines can be accommodated by the planning and engineering of a new system. An article asking that $8,000 be provided for this purpose will appear in the Town Warrant. If this sum can not be fully provided this year, a plan to break this system down into two or possibly three phases will be presented for consideration. It should be brought out however, that costs increase each year and that a projected plan covering two or three years will ultimately be more expensive. Under serious consideration at this time is a proposal for the Town to adopt the Abbreviated Edition of the Fire Prevention Code as recommended by the American Insurance Association, for- merly the National Board of Fire Underwriters. It is the intent of this code to prescribe regulations consistent with nationally recog- 123 nized good practice for the safeguarding to a reasonable degree of life and property from the hazards of fire and explosion arising from the storage, handling and use of hazardous substances, mate- rials and devices, and from conditions hazardous to life or property in the use or occupancy of buildings or premises. The code shall apply equally to new and existing conditions except that existing conditions not in strict compliance with the terms of this code shall be permitted to continue where the exceptions do not consti- tute a distinct hazard to life or property in the opinion of the Chief of the Fire Department. Nothing in this code shall be construed as applying to the transportation of any article or thing shipped under the jurisdiction of and in compliance with the regulations prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, nor as apply- ing to the military forces of the United States. All matters within the intent of this code not covered in detail by this code shall provide reasonable safety to persons and property. Further, it shall be the duty of the Chief of the Fire Department to inspect, or cause to be inspected, by the Fire Department Officers or mem- bers, all buildings and premises, except the interiors of dwellings, as often as may be necessary for the purpose of ascertaining and causing to be corrected any conditions liable to cause fire, endanger life from fire, of any violations of the provisions or intent of this code and of any other ordinance affecting the fire hazard. Deputy Chief Charles A. Van Dusen retired from the Fire Service May 31, 1968. He had served for a total of 37 years, 30. years as a Call fireman and the last 7 years as Deputy Chief and Gass Inspector. Frank M. Sinnott Jr. assumed the duties of Deputy Fire Chief June 1, 1968 after serving as a permanent member of the Yarmouth Fire Department for 7 years and having been a call member of the fire service before moving to Yarmouth since 1942. The cooperation received from the Police Department, the Water Department, the Highway Department, the Building and Electric Wiring Inspectors, and other departments of the Town has been appreciated. The support and efforts of those Officers and men who have dedicated themselves to the safety and welfare of the residents of the Town without regard for themselves has resulted in the Yarmouth Fire Department being among the very best. Much credit goes to the residents and taxpayers of the Town who have supported the fire department in its attempt to function and improve. The Fire Belles and other organizations and agencies have again been most helpful and sincere thanks is hereby ac- knowledged. Dana H. Whittemore Chief of Department 124 REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : We are happy to submit the following report for the year 1968 : STATISTICS Circulation Periods open Attendance Afternoons 14,618 158 5,730 Evenings 2,118 52 998 Saturday mornings 2,933 52 1,197 Tuesday evenings 77 9 52 19,746 269 7,977 The increase in circulation was 1,378. BOOK STOCK Additions ADULT JUVENILE TOTAL GIFT PURCHASE GIFT PURCHASE 39 333 1 73 446 In October 1968 the Trustees started a trial teen-age program. The Library is open on Tuesday evenings from 7-9 for teenagers only. Mr. James Dolan, an experienced and capable educator was employed to supervise and to assist the young people with their research and home assignment problems. This is an experiment to try in every way to help our students with increased Library service. We hope that the young people will take the proper ad- vantage of this opportunity and that the experiment will become a permanent program. We cannot speak too highly in favor of the Eastern Regional Library service. In 1968 we borrowed 107 books from the Fal- mouth Public Library and the Boston Public Library. It makes possible the filling of many unusual requests, saves the Library the cost of certain book purchases and saves space on our book shelves. The Librarian has benefited by attending regional sem- inars on various aspects of the Library profession. The Library has been given an excellent selection of records. We hope this year to provide space for them and to prepare them for circulation. 125 A Copier machine has been installed which will enable us to provide copies of book or magazine pages, requests which formerly we could not fill. The membership in the Friends of the Yarmouth Library has reached approximately 200. The meetings, under the efficient leadership of Mr. Warren Prescott, are very well attended. We are grateful to the members for their financial support in promoting the Saturday morning programs for the children, paying for the microfilming of the Dennis -Yarmouth Register and for the two new signs added this year. The Trustees have had additional lights installed in various parts of the building including two emergency lights, and two spot lights on the front lawn. They have also installed combination aluminum doors and windows throughout the building. National Library week was observed in April. The local theme was "Old Yarmouth". This originated from the fact that so many new people were desirous of knowing more about old Yarmouth—their new home. Matthews Hallet and Mrs. George Dolan lent photographs which were displayed with the Library's own collection. Several years ago a temporary ramp and railing were installed on the northeast side of the building for use by those who found the steps difficult to mount. In 1968 these were replaced by a per- manent cement ramp and railing. We are deeply grateful to the other members of the Board of Trustees, the Selectmen, the members of the Finance committee and the voters for their continued interest, understanding and co- operative support. Respectfully submitted, Carl H. Bussey, President Martha U. White, Librarian Yarmouth Port, Mass. January 4, 1969. REPORT OF THE SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION To the Board of Selectmen : I am pleased to submit the following report for the year 1968: 126 VOLUMES : 13,105 - December 31, 1967 660 - Books added 1968 CIRCULATION : Number of days open New members 13,765 426 - Bopks lost and discarded 1968 13,339 - TOTAL - December 31, 1968 Adult Juvenile Periodicals Total 22,020 5,808 1,182 28,282 255 244 1968 has proved to be a busy and exciting year for the South Yarmouth Library. New shelves have been built in the reading room allowing us to expand our fiction collection. Construction has started on our new office and workroom and the addition to our children's room which we have outgrown. We expect this to be completed in early Spring of 1969 and are looking forward to occupancy of this much needed space. This year of 1969 is our 100th anniversary and plans are being made to celebrate this event in conjunction with the opening of our new rooms. Mrs. Nancy Stewart is now working as assistant and is most pleasant and efficient. This year marked the passing of Mrs. Aletta S. Root who had been a member of our Board of Directors for two years. She was a valued Director and we miss her very much. Through the generosity of the many friends of Mrs. Mary Howes Shepley, who died September 27, 1967, we have purchased a new Encyclopaedia Britannica. This is a most welcome addition to our Reference Department and our old edition has been placed in circulation. The South Yarmouth Library is growing and we are constantly striving for newer and better ways of improving our service to the community. The Board of Directors and I wish to express our thanks to you all for your continued interest and support. January 1969 127 Respectfully submitted, Mrs. Virginia M. Osborn Librarian REPORT OF THE WEST YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Board of Selectmen West Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen : The year 1968 shows an appreciable increase in circulation, association membership and patrons. Many new volumes of fiction, non-fiction and reference books have been added to our shelves. This has been accomplished through donations and purchase. Our summer coffee hour featured Mrs. Carl F. Schultz as guest speaker and was well attended. We expect to continue this event each year. The past year was marked by the death of Dr. Joseph Silvia. He was responsible for our flower arrangements and displays. He will be greatly missed by all here at the Library. A Memorial Fund was set up for the Library by his many friends. I attended the New England Library Association Conference for four days at Wentworth -by -the -Sea in October. Lectures and displays in modern library techniques were made available to all. Our Library is still supplying books to the South Yarmouth Elderly Housing. The books are changed a couple of times a year. A special thank you to Mrs. George Beck for her many hours of volunteer work and to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Walker for their beautiful Christmas display. The Trustees and myself wish to express our thanks to all who use our facilities. Their patience and support is greatly appreciated. We thank the Selectmen and the taxpayers for their interest and cooperation. Respectfully submitted Eleanor E.

Robinson Town Collector WELFARE DEPARTMENT REPORT The General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts passed an act in 1967 reorganizing the Department of Public Wel- fare and providing for the direct administration of the Public Welfare system by the State, to take effect on July 1st, 1968, there- fore the authority of the Yarmouth Welfare Department and the Yarmouth Board of Public Welfare ended June 30, 1968. On July 1st all employees of the Yarmouth department became state em- ployees. I will briefy break down the approximate town costs through June. The breakdown must be approximate because there are still some outstanding medical bills contracted prior to July 1st., mostly MEDICARE bills payments that will be paid from federal money still on hand. There are still some state reimbursements due the town which will not be adjusted until a later date. 131 Due to the tremendous increase in applicants eligible for MEDICAID and AID TO FAMILIES .WITH DEPENDENT CHILDREN in 1968, the total expenditures including administra- tion, were $585,902.13 as against $388,557.50 in 1967, an increase of $197,344.63. It might be of interest to know that as of January 1, 1969 there were approximately 1258 people eligible for MEDI- CAID payments. The breakdown of these recipients follows :- ELIGIBLE FOR MONEY ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID PAYMENTS ONLY O.A.A. 63 O.A.A. related 93 A.F.D.C. 95 adults A.F.D.C. relat- 735 215 children ed & under 21 yrs.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the School Committee of Yarmouth : I herewith submit my twenty-third annual school report, and the seventy-seventh report in the series of school reports of the Union Superintendent of Schools, in Dennis and Yarmouth. FACULTY CHANGES Miss Francine Cavanagh Grade 2 Mrs. Judith P. Egan " 2 Mrs. Thelma W. French Kindergarten Mrs. Katherine M. Holden Grade 6, Science, Math & Health Mrs. Alice M. George Grade 4 Miss Janice Lee Martin 7 4 Mrs. Susan M. Milk 3 161 Mrs. Sharon P. Riedell Kindergarten Miss Linda B. Simon Grade 6, Reading Mrs. Constance Smith " 2 William H. Wibel p,5 John C. Lynch Art Supervisor Irwin Bierhans Grade 3 During the year 1968, Mr. Harland P. Sisk was appointed to serve as Business Manager, for the Dennis and Yarmouth School Departments. His office is presently located in the John Simpkins School... THE MIDDLE SCHOOL - Construction is proceeding at an encouraging rate. With the completion of this building an expanded program in Music, Physi- cal Education, and Science will be possible. Due to the crowded conditions of the past few years the school program has been de- prived of Science Fairs, Operettas, and many other features that give the parents and townspeople a more intimate knowledge of their schools. 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. EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATES - Employment permits may be, issued to boys and girls between the age of fourteen and sixteen to work only whenthe 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 Super- intendent of Schools, John Simpkins School, Bass River, and per- sonal application must be made by the student, and evidence of date of birth must be presented. I wish to call the attention of the reader to the following reports, submitted by members of the Yarmouth School staff, giving more detailed information regarding the school program. Respectfully submitted, Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools 162 REPORT OF THE BUSINESS MANAGER Harland P. Sisk The Business Manager's function is to relieve the Superin- tendent of Schools and the Principals of work of a non-academic nature. Specifically this work includes pupil transportation, cafe- teria operation, purchasing, payrolls, custodial work, and main- tenance. We completed maintenance projects on a selective basis, to the extent of funds available, to keep the school grounds, buildings and equipment in good condition. New curbing and a side walk were installed at South Yar- mouth. Necessary repairs to wood siding at West Yarmouth were completed. All necessary painting was done and new floors laid in two classrooms. Some new cafeteria equipment was installed to keep these facilities up to date. We served 187,000 meals at a cost of 25c. a meal to the children and 313,000 1/2 pints of milk. Mr. William Chapman retired as Head Custodian at West Yarmouth Elementary School as of July 1 after many years of effective and helpful service. Mr. William Palmer was engaged to take his place. Twenty five bus routes operated to carry pupils to and from school. As a newcomer to the School Department there was much to learn. I received cheerful and effective cooperation from the Super- intendent and his staff, from the principals, custodians, cafeteria personnel, and others. I wish to express my sincere thanks for that cooperation. 163 LIST OF TEACHERS September 1968 Where Educated SOUTH YARMOUTH ELEMENTARY James J. Clarke, Jr. Mrs. Alice S. Baldwin Mrs. Thelma W.

Grander—Maternity Leave John F. Meehan, Jr.—Sabbatical Leave REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL West Yarmouth Elementary School Marguerite E. Small It is with pleasure that I submit my first report as principal of the West Yarmouth Elementary School. With approximately 630 pupils enrolled, our building is again using all available rooms as classrooms. The three rooms left vacant when the kindergarten classes were moved to the South Yarmouth Elementary School have been assigned to fifth grade pupils from that area. Seven fifth grade classes and four each of grades one through four fill our building to capacity. Lack of space for large group participation is a problem as it was last year since the large group instruction area must be used for art and vocal and instrumental music classes. This has meant that we have been unable to invite parents and friends to share our activities as we would like to do. However, parents have been most under- standing and the attendance at our Open House during American Education Week was very gratifying. As our fifth grade pupils become better acquainted, we find that working in the same building and sharing experiences is prov- ing valuable to both groups. I feel sure that a program planned to bring all fifth grade pupils together would have merit and would make easier thestep into the middle school. It is, of course, true, that our schools work closely together at all grade levels. Thanks are due to Mr. Bearse who, as principal of the Yarmouth schools, provided this unified background. Now, with Miss Garoufes as reading supervisor, Mr. Eldredge as science co-ordinator, and Mr. Drake to guide the curriculum in mathe- matics, programs can be planned that will permit pupils to move from grade to grade in both elementary schools and into the middle school without interruptions. An important phase of school advancement is active partici- pation on the part of the teachers in planning and organizing curriculum. With this in mind, meetings and • workshops in the fields of reading, science and mathematics are being initiated where teachers can pool their experiences or learn of advances which have been made in other places. It is becoming increasingly important to locate learning dis- abilities at an early age. A testing program to screen these pupils is in progress. It is hoped that the services of a speech therapist and remedial -corrective specialists may be available at a future date, and that the physical education supervisors and the school nurse will have sufficient time to assist in such a program. There have been several changes among the teachers this year. Miss Joan Baker and Miss Cynthia Baker have a year's leave of absence and Mrs. Constance Smith and Mrs. Alice George have filled their places in second and fourth grades respectively. Miss 169 Janice Martin joined the fourth grade teachers when an additional class was added and Mrs. Judith Egan and Mrs. Susan Milk have been appointed to second and third grade positions. Mr. William Wibel teaches mathematics and science in the fifth grade. I feel that we are fortunate in having a group of teachers who are truly interested in each of their pupils and dedicated to their work. Our custodial staff lost Mr. William Chapman and Mr. Archie Scott when they retired last spring. We are grateful for their years of loyal service to the Yarmouth schools. Mr. William Palmer and Mr. Paul St. Louis became custodians of the building in July, while Mr. Adamo Agostinelli joined the staff early this winter. The manager and cafeteria workers remain the same and are an important part of school life. If it is true that "an army marches on its stomach", surely a good cafeteria is vital to a good school program. Teachers' Aides are proving of great assistance to pupils, teachers and office staff. Mrs. Lorraine Loughlin, our full time aide, in addition to many other helpful duties, has very compe- tently assumed supervision of the library during the absence of Mr. Meehan. Mrs. Elizabeth Baker and Mrs. Agnes Schnare are supervising the cafeteria during lunch periods. As a memorial for the three boys from West Yarmouth Ele- mentary School who have died within the last two years, carved birds and animals have been placed against a typically Cape Cod background in a display case near the school library. This display is given in memory of James M. Schauwecker, Joshua Barnicoat and Gregory A. Ellis. I am very proud to have the opportunity to serve as principal in a school system which offers as much to the pupils as do the Yarmouth schools. I am grateful for the fine spirit of cooperation and loyalty shown by the teachers, and the staff and the assistance of our secretary, Mrs. Thelma Small. May 1, at this time thank you, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse and the members of the Yarmouth school committee for the assistance and support I have received. REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL John Simpkins School Francis J. M. Duncan It is with pleasure that I submit my first annual report as Principal of the John Simpkins School. On December 20, 1968 we had an enrollment of five hundred ninety children. This is an increase of seventy-nine over the same period last year. The distribution is as follows : 170 GRADE BOYS GIRLS TOTAL 6 101 116 217 7 89 84 173 8 102 98 200 292 298 590 The following teachers joined our staff in September : Mrs. Holden (Sixth Grade Math and Science, Eighth Grade Science), Miss Simon (Sixth Grade Reading) and Mr. Lynch (Art for Grades Six, Seven and Eight). We are anxiously awaiting the opening of the new Middle School which is scheduled for completion in August of 1969. May I express my gratitude to the Superintendent of Schools, the School Committee, the teaching staff and all other school personnel for their cooperation during the past year. REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL South Yarmouth Elementary School James J. Clarke, Jr. With an enrollment of 609 students, our space needs are critical. The building contains twelve (12) first-class classrooms. At this time, we have twenty (20) teaching stations with twenty (20) full-time teachers. We are using the three basement rooms originally designed for art, music, and a library, as classrooms. The health clinic now houses the special class. The present nurse's office was designed as a storage room. The library is now a corner of the cafeteria and the auditorium has been divided into four areas for the kindergarten. We have added five new teachers this year : Mr. William Wibel Grade 5 Mr. Erwin Bierhans 3 Miss Francine Cavanagh 2 Mrs. Thelma French Kdg. Mrs. Sharon Reidell Kdg. We also have five teachers who are not new to the system, but most welcome back to South Yarmouth : Mrs. Maryann Best Grade 3 Mrs. Esther Murchison 2 Mrs. Josephine Fiebelkorn Special Class Mrs. Alice Baldwin Kdg. Miss Elizabeth Spencer Kdg. Therefore, the South Yarmouth Elementary School is presently housing four classes of morning Kindergarten, four classes of after - 171 noon Kindergarten, four 1st grades, four 2nd grades, four 3rd grades, and three 4th grades. Next year we will have to add a new fourth and fifth grade teacher. In spite of our cramped quarters, there is a special delight in having the kindergarten in the building. For all of us at South Yarmouth, just seeing so many little ones so eager to learn makes our work worthwhile. This past year, Mrs. Elizabeth Cash, our cafeteria manager, retired after 17 years in the Yarmouth school system. A dinner was held in her honor and everyone had the opportunity to wish her well. Mrs. Anna Taylor is now our cafeteria manager. Mrs. Ann Toppin and Mrs. Nancy Warren are new additions to the staff. Our teacher aides and kindergarten aides perform many tasks, from paper work to supervising the kindergarten busses. They are : Kdg. Aides : Mrs. Nella Bosworth Mrs. Dorothy M. Culley Mrs. Barbara Coulter Clerical Aid : Mrs. Janice M. Dauphinais Cafeteria Aides : Mrs. Sarah Ryder Mrs. Jeanette Ellis We welcome Mr. Donald Eldridge as Yarmouth Science Co- ordinator and Mr. Louis Drake as Yarmouth Mathematics Co- ordinator, and look forward to working with them. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills was given to the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades in March. The Otis Lennon Intelligence Test was given in February. The Gates-MacGinitie Reading test was given in May. All of our work cannot be done without the help and assist- ance of many people. I wish to thank Mr. Kenyon and Mr. Bearse for their cooperation, and also our special teachers and super- visors. My great appreciation goes to my fine staff at South Yar- mouth - teachers, aides, secretarial, cafeteria and custodial staffs. A special thanks is due Mr. James Davis, who makes time in his schedule to work each week on an industrial arts project with our Special Class. REPORT OF THE TITLE I SUMMER SCHOOL DIRECTOR Osborne W. Bearse Under Title I of Public Law 89-10 the Yarmouth School De- partment received a grant of twenty-five thousand, four hundred twenty dollars to operate a summer program of six weeks duration for one hundred forty disadvantaged pupils with an age range from pre-school through grade six. 172 The objectives developed for this project were : 1. To establish the basic skills needed for success in reading and arithmetic 2. To provide a strong educational pattern to assure good health by the use of sound physical education techniques 3. To develop an art and music program for the purpose of cultural motivation 4. To widen a pupil's environment by building educational experiences through trips to museums, parks, restaurants and historical landmarks of importance. The instructors for the summer school were recruited largely from our own staff. A few, experienced teachers from other locali- ties and several college students were included in order to give the balance and motivation needed to provide an informal basis - for the oral -visual program needed to stimulate the learning at- mosphere for disadvantaged pupils. The summer session was held at the West Yarmouth Ele- mentary School which provided the modern facilities permitting the curriculum flexibility to fit the individual needs of each pupil. Educational materials and audio-visual aids were available for diagnostic and instructional work for pupils and teachers alike. Evaluation of the summer program was obtained by the use of standardized tests for the basic subjects such as reading and arith- metic. Direct observations by teachers and pupil reaction to their classes helped to determine the attitude changes as well as cultural and emotional growth resulting because of the instruction received at the six week summer school. Parents, teachers and pupils alike agreed that the summer institute was very successful and helped to meet a basic need for the pupils enrolled. In closing, I would like to thank Miss Marguerite Small, Mrs. Marion Chapman, and the summer teaching staff for their co- operation and participation in a program designed to help pupils obtain the necessary background for success. REPORT OF THE READING AND ENGLISH SUPERVISOR Kalliope G. Garoufes It is my pleasure to submit to you my annual report as Reading and English supervisor for the Yarmouth Schools. Standardized test results in reading reveal weaknesses in our program in the areas of visual memory and word attack skills. These weaknesses appear in students in all grades and levels. To correct these weaknesses, we are attempting toprovide more time 173 for reading in the school program, as well as supplementing our present program with additional materials. Provisions should be made for smaller classes. Teachers of reading in grades one through five, as well as the kindergarten teachers, have been participating in meetings after school to discuss current issues in reading and plan for- improve- ments in the reading program. A Language Arts curriculum for grades six, seven and eight, which will establish a closer correlation between English and read- ing, is being developed by the language arts and reading teachers. It is anticipated that all students in grades six, seven and eight will participate in a reading program next fall. Children with language disabilities have been identified in all our schools. Special programs for these children should be initiated immediately. Your cooperation, Mr. Kenyon, and that of the principals, teachers and other school personnel is greatly appreciated. REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR (Grades 1-4) Margaret H. Craft The art program in grades 1 through 4 concentrates on en- couraging creative thought and developing elementary skills within a visual language. Pupils are visited once every two weeks for a period of 30-40 minutes, and work with a variety of media suitable to the class- room schedule. Problems in design, composition, drawing, and. techniques of handling specific media are studied. Dennis and Yarmouth have grown so rapidly that in the com- ing school year, each community will have its own supervisors in art and music. It is hoped with this- change that the children in each town will have a greater opportunity to explore all aspects of the arts more thoroughly. REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR (Grades 5-8) John C. Lynch During this transitional year the art program of the middle grades is being structured around the teaching of fundamentals. The present inadequate conditions have, for a great extent, limited the scope of student artistic endeavor to the confines of regular classrooms and other spaces. However, with the whole -hearted cooperation of administrators and faculties of the schools, the present program has been made more viable than I had anticipated. 174 The program is planned as an ongoing experience for each student. He is exposed to the basics of art and then given the opportunity for individual expression with an allowance taken for the limitations placed upon him by the present crowded conditions. The method of grading is based upon effort, rather than talent, to counter the uneven distribution of artistic ability inherent in any cross-section of normal middle -level students. We look forward with happy anticipation to the opening of the new middle school with its excellent facilities for implementing a full program which will enable each student to attempt explora- tion into, and to derive satisfaction from, artistic expression. REPORT OF THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR Richard G. LaPorte, Jr. Instruction on band instruments was started in the fourth grade at South Yarmouth, and fourth and fifth 'grades in West Yarmouth. These beginning groups received two lessons per week, and later on in the year, have one period of band. Second year students meet once weekly for instruction at these two schools. Grades six, seven, and eight are combined into an eighty piece band at the John Simpkins School, and meet for one period of band per week. Instruction is given in classes made up of all seventh and eighth grade woodwinds meeting for one period, once a week. All drummers, grades six, seven, and eight once a week. All sixth grade band students meet together, brass and woodwinds combined, once weekly. The band performs at school functions such as holidays, grad- uation, and Spring Festival. REPORT OF THE STRINGED INSTRUMENT SUPERVISOR Frank Cornwell The past season brought about a few changes in the stringed instrument department. With the South Yarmouth fifth graders moved to West Yarmouth, a fresh start was made at the South Yarmouth School. The response there was encouraging, and quite a few students were enrolled. At the Ezra H. Baker School the starting age was lowered from the fourth to the third grade which proved to be very productive. This age group seems to be "ready" and even more enthusiastic than the fourth grade, and by the time the sixth grade is reached, the added year should make them better qualified to join their respective orchestras. 175 The June conceit, which was the second year for the junior orchestra, was much better than the previous year, and was very well received by the students and their parents alike. Also during the year, the Music Performance Trust Fund, through the Musicians' Union #155 of Cape Cod, gave concerts at all the schools, and at the request of Superintendent Kenyon, a concert was scheduled and played at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. This was received even better than in the lower grades. The programs included music both classical and popular. More of these concerts are to be presented at all the schools and should prove of great value in creating student musical apprecia- tion plus a desire to play an instrument. Every year has shown an increase in stringed instrument en- rollment. REPORT OF THE VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR (Grades 1-4) Viola Mitchell The variety of musical experiences, directed or creative, which each child has the opportunity to experience and share in the music classroom can be a valuable outlet, emotionally and physically. As a music supervisor I only wish that there was more time in the weekly schedule to develop our young students in the following experiences : the learning to sing together and singly, the develop- ment of rhythmic responses, the listening to and the discussion of good music and great composers, past and present. Also the basic elements of music reading fill a vital part of a music period. Several times during the school year the classes of each grade meet together to share and perform the weekly activities that have been planned. Many parents would be proud of their children if they were to view the abilities displayed at . these gatherings. The cooperation of the principals and the classroom teachers has been most helpful—a greatly appreciated factor in the program of a music supervisor. REPORT OF THE VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR (Grades 5-8) Beverly S. Counsell Americans like music. In the past few decades, music has become a major factor of the American way of life. Performing artists, educators, and the general public, both young and old, have had a hand in fostering the idea that music and living go 176 together. Acceptance of this idea has been accelerated with amaz- ing speed by the dramatic power of radio, television, and record- ings. The impact of music in our lives is evident in many ways. Vast programs of music instruction are carried on in schools and private studios—programs supported by tax dollars and allow- ances from family budgets. Attendance at operas, symphony and chamber ensemble concerts, and solo recitals is at an all-time high. Thousands of Americans participate in community orchestras, bands, choruses, and church choirs, Jazz Festivals, music -under - the -stars, and other forms of less conventional entertainment are firmly established on concert schedules. Musical groups from other countries are met with enthusiastic approval by audiences all over the United States. The annual sale of records and hi-fi equip- ment runs into hundreds of millions of dollars. In our time we are participants in a cultural explosion without precedent. Even though most people enjoy music the majority of them have only a partial and incomplete understanding of it. With this thought in mind it is clear that our present vocal music program is activated to give every child the use of his singing voice and pleasure in song as a means of expression. The students have the benefit of a basic text. (Music For Young Americans), selected sheet music, record players, records of classical and popular ap- peal, piano, autoharps, junior high rhythm band instruments, and traveling bulletin boards. Our aims in music class are as follows : 1. Good voice production 2. Knowledge of simple music figures in syllables 3. Understanding of music symbols and verbiage 4. Appreciation of lives and music of master composers 5. General knowledge of the music and customs of many people in other lands 6. Ability to make use of accumulative music skills in in- dividual and group performance I now visit three elementary schools in the Towns of Dennis and Yarmouth reaching over one thousand students in grades five through eight. Thirty-five groups of children are involved in the present thirty-five period weekly music curriculum ; some classes numbering over sixty-seven students. Thanks to the flexibility and cooperation of the Administra-, tion, faculty, and school personnel, the music program continues to flourish. The program of music presented in our system is rewarding to those who simply enjoy music as well as to those .who perform. Whether they sing and play, or just listen, the music in their lives will takeon a new meaning that only understanding can give. 177 REPORT OF THE FRENCH SUPERVISOR Ernest Deneault During the two year program of French the student in the junior high school becomes acquainted with the fundamentals of the language. Although facility in conversation is the primary goal of the course, a considerable amount of time is devoted to basic grammatical constructions. As the student progresses, brief and later more detailed compositions as well as individual or group recitations are required. Filmstrips and records are primarily used in the seventh grade and serve as an aid to the beginner in the area of pronunciation as well as a supplement to regular vocabulary. A two volume set of transparancies for use on the overhead projector has been added this year. I have found that these serve to aid the student in his ability to converse, enable me to better present my course material and also 'motivate my students. At the present time 145 students are taking part in the French program at John Simpkins School. I wish to again take this opportunity to thank my superiors, fellow faculty members, and the clerical staff for their continued assistance during the past year. REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION SUPERVISOR Boys Daniel M. Campbell It is with pleasure that I submit my annual report as Super- visor of Boys' Physical Education for the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. Physical Education : This program consists of calesthenics, individual and team games, gymnastics, and self -testing activities which include tumbl- ing 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 com- petency 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 talents, work to - 178 gether in a team effort and practice self-control and good sports- manship in a competitive situation. The Saturday Morning Basketball Program is as popular as ever. This year 140 boys in grades 4-8 participated on 14 teams every Saturday for 12 weeks at the John Simpkins School. I wish to thank you, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse, Mr. Duncan, Mr. Clarke, Miss Small and Mr. Cash, the school personnel and the parents for the cooperation I have received in carrying out the Physical Education Program. REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION SUPERVISOR Girls (Grades 1--8) Anne S. Emery During the elementary years we teach a progression in games, sport skills, team sports, exercises, rhythms, stunts and tumbling, and posture with the knowledge that the more variety the children are exposed to in Physical Education, the better they are able to select their own best way to keep fit. A girl who is fit in mind and body finds her work easier, less fatiguing, and has a reserve of energy for her personal pursuits. We have continued our after-school sports program for grades six, seven, and eight and look forward to expanded facilities in the new school to make this program available to more girls. Miss Marguerite Small, the Reading Supervisor, and I hoped we might expand our Perceptual -Motor -Coordination program be- gun last year in the gym at the West Yarmouth School. We are convinced that this special small -group work done in Physical Education in addition to the academic aids, has proven of great value to the youngsters involved. However, we have only two groups of first -graders this year because of scheduling problems. It is a pleasure to be associated with the Yarmouth School system and its cooperative personnel. 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, 179 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 begiven, were fulfilled and audio exams with the results were sent to the doctor assigned. 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 May booster inoculations for Diphtheria and Tetanus were given to students with parental consent in the fourth grades in West Yarmouth and South Yarmouth Schools. Dr. Howes admin- istered one hundred and seven inoculations. REPORT OF ATTENDANCE OFFICER Marion E. Chapman For the year ending, December 31, 1968, I have investigated 19 cases of truancy and made reports to the proper authorities in each case. REPORT OF ADULT EDUCATION DIRECTOR James R. Davis It is with pleasure that I submit my first report as Director of the Adult Education Program for the Town of Yarmouth. Registration was held in the John Simpkins School Auditorium on September 23rd' from 7 :00 to 8:30 p.m. This year's total regis- tration was 477—an increase of 90 over last year's. The courses offered for the school year 1968-69 are as follows': 180 Monday Woodworking Adv. Oil Painting Beginning Sewing Phys. Fitness (10 wks.) Tuesday Woodworking Beginning Sewing Rug Braiding Cake Decorating Wednesday Woodworking Adv. Sewing Beginning Oil Painting Thursday Tailoring Candle Making (10 Wks.)

Hopkins E. Murley M. Pappas B. Hammond S. Cleaves the first week in October and I am looking forward to the possibility of expanding the pro- gram to further meet the interests and needs of the adult popula- tion of this Town. I have received many requests for additional courses indicating a more varied program must be offered in the future. It is intended that this program will serve the adult com- munity through the utilization of the school buildings and facilities that have already been provided by the residents of the town. This is possible partly because of the interest and excellent foundation established by my predecessor, Mr. Gregory Drake. I wish to thank Mr. Kenyon and the members of the School Committee for their confidence in appointing me as Director of the Adult Program. I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to the teaching staff of the Adult Program, the custodians, and to the Secretary for their assistance and cooperation. 181 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT CENSUS October 1, 1968 5 yrs. or over 7 yrs. or over and under 7 and under 16 BOYS 267 862 GIRLS 284 779 551 1641 Distribution of above minors : In public day school 511 1589 In vocational school 0 9 In private school 40 43 182 551 1641 MEMBERSHIP BY AGE AND GRADE, OCTOBER 1, 1968 Grade 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Totals Boys Kdg. 17 66 2 85 1 9 88 6 103 2 13 108 8 129 3 12 81 15 108 4 20 82 9 1 112 5 9 78 4 91 6 18 67 13 1 1 100 7 20 55 5 1 81 8 18 71 14 1 104 )—, Other 1 1 1 1 4 oma,, Total 17 75 103 126 109 107 106 92 86 78 16 1 1 917 Girls Kdg. 26 80 106 1 21 80 1 102 2 21 69 5 95 3 14 38 56 2 110 4 22 71 4 97 5 21 61 3 85 6 25 72 5 1 103 7 15 61 11 1 1 89 8 20 70 3 2 2 97 Other 1 2 2 5 Total 26 101 115 108 84 94 90 92 88 82 4 3 2 889 Grand Total 43 176 218 234 193 201 196 184 174 160 20 4 3 1806 FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHOOL ACCOUNT : 1968 Appropriation Transfer, Mental Health Acct.

Through the State and Town financed dredging earlier this year, access to Bass River was improved. A Town -owned dredge would be most helpful in combatting the refilling of the channel and reclaiming of beaches. Many complaints were received regarding the unavailability of transient mooring space at the town dock at Packet Landing. Although repair work is being undertaken by the Park Depart- ment, additional docking space is not feasible at this time. Perhaps the boaters using this dock could be more considerate of others by limiting their usage. Of main concern is the need for more Town -owned public boat ramps. At the present time there are only three ramps, and, al- though a new ramp is being considered at Wilbur Park, Yarmouth still lacks the necessary boat access areas along its shoreline. I receive many calls during the spring and early summer months regarding reservations of moorings. As has always been the policy in this town, moorings are procured on a "first come, first served" basis ; thus, it is advantageous to set out anchorages as soon as possible. Respectfully submitted, John L. Silver, Jr. Harbor Master CONSERVATION COMMISSION REPORT The Conservation Commission continues its work with enthusi- asm and a great deal of pride as each project becomes a reality. We know that our efforts must increase to keep up with the mounting competition in the race for areas that should be secured for conservation. We are proud to report the recording of fifty- three acres of beautiful wooded land which lies adjacent to pre - 190 vious purchases. This continuous progress in our carefully planned program is most satisfying and encourages us to greater efforts. The herring run will be in excellent condition for the spring run as needed improvements will have been completed by the herring committee with the cooperation of the water ways com- mission. We ask that residents of Yarmouth with marshland will secure the marine life cycle, by deeding their marshes to the Town. We cannot emphasize too greatly the importance of conserving these areas, and guaranteeing their preservation by acting now. Many owners have already expressed their desire to cooperate and will eventually deed their parcels to the Town. In our work we have tried to create a program that will be of the greatest value to everyone, also keeping in mind its relation to other programs and needs of the Town. So it is with great enthusiasm, energy, and united effort that we prepare to tackle the problems of another year. Your continu- ous support gives us the will and desire to make a greater effort. We thank you for your expressions of appreciation. Raymond S. Syrjala (Chairman) Thomas N. Embler (Secretary) Loren C. Petry Quinton M. Scott Allen R.

SEARS Town of Yarmouth Board of Selectmen HAYDN MASON Constable ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DENNIS - YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1968 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE REPORT Casting a shadow over the•year 1968 was the death in mid-September of Roland E. Connors, who had served unstintingly as a member ap- pointed by the Dennis School Committee. Mr. Connors had been elected Vice Chairman of our Committee at the Annual Meeting in April - together with Alfred C. Kelley as Chairman and Harold L. Hayes, Jr., as Secretary -Treasurer. The Committee will hold in grateful remem- brance the selfless service of Roland E. Connors. By vote of the Com- mittee, Richard L. Whipple was chosen to fill the office of Vice Chairman. In March, the voters of the Town of Yarmouth elected William J. Blanchard, Jr., to a three-year term on the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee. J. Tracy Wiggin, a faithful member for several years, had decided not to be a candidate for re-election. Also, in April of last year, came the appointment of Kenneth H. Studley, a member of the Yarmouth School Committee. Late in December, Mrs. Gail H. Bickford was selected by the Dennis School Committee to serve the remainder of the late Mr. Connors' term as appointee. Beginning in March, the negotiating procedure in connection with a contract between the Committee and the Teachers' Association was the focus of attention for the next several months. On August 6, a con- tract was executed, with the enthusiastic support of both the teachers and the Committee. The scholarship program, under the direction of the Trustees, has afforded much satisfaction. Twelve awards were granted at graduation - from funds made available by the Yarmouth Trust Fund Commissioners; the Friday Club; the Castonguay, William P. Frost, and Stephen A. Kimball Memorials; the Art Show; and from the General Scholarship Fund. A special grant was made to Janice Fitzgerald, a D -Y graduate now attending Jackson College, for her participation in the TUFTS IN LONDON Academic Program. This was made possible through the gen- erosity of "Scholarships Anonymous." As an American Field Services exchange student, we are pleased to have Gabriola Landeras, from Peru. It has been a successful year, both academically and financially. The regular day school and vacation school programs have shown re- markable achievements. Our investments in U. S. Treasury Bills have yielded more than $8,600.00. Further, the Committee has been always mindful of the changing times and innovations in the field of education. We are constantly striving to find a solution to current problems, through the utilization of all available resources. There is every probability that, during the coming year, additional steps will be taken to meet ever-increasing demands with respect to space and curriculum. With the sustained cooperation of all - officials, school department personnel, 2 civic organizations, parents, and students - we shall continue to keep our school one of which we can be justly proud. Respectfully submitted. ALFRED C. KELLEY, Chairman RICHARD L. WHIPPLE, Vice Chairman HAROLD L. HAYES, JR., Secretary -Treasurer GAIL H. BICKFORD (MRS.) WILLIAM J. BLANCHARD, JR. JOHN A. HASTINGS KENNETH H. STUDLEY NATHANIEL H. WIXON REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee: I herewith submit my eleventh report as Superintendent of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. It is with deep regret that the death of Roland Connors is recorded in this year's school report. Mr. Connors gave liberally of his time and efforts to the youth of this School District. It is with a feeling of great loss that we think of Roland. 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 per- sonal 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. 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 application must be made and evidence of date of birth must be presented. 3 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.

Dear Mr. Kenyon: 1958 1968 1965 1948 1957 1959 1962 1967 1955 1964 1965 1963 1962 The following new faculty members were added to the D -Y staff in September, 1968 as replacements or additions: Mr. Lloyd Avery, Business Department Miss Sherry Crane, Foreign Languages Mr. John Dolan, English Mr. Richard Fairman, Mathematics Miss Sharon From, Social Studies Mr. Arthur Nelson, Guidance Mrs. Mary Perley, Library Mr. Henry St.Cyr, Special Classes Mr. Roy Sorblom, English Mr. Jay Thompson, English School enrollment increased by approximately fifty students in September, 1968, and a much larger increase is expected in the fall of 7 1969. Preparations are under way for a building expansion program, and materials have been presented to the School Committee for their consideration. There is a need for additional classrooms and more facilities for our physical education, art and library departments. Continued efforts have been made to improve our instruction and offerings in all areas. I would choose to discuss a few of these programs at this time. Electronics (first and second year) is being offered to provide a better understanding of the fundamental concepts of electricity and electronics. These courses deal with terminology, circuit theory, and applied mathematics associated with these ideas. One of the new demonstration units being used is the GEDAC system (Giant Electronic Demonstrator of Activated Circuits.) This . is a new type of dynamic demonstrator developed so that students can see circuit schematics become live and operational. Being a giant breadboarding system, it uses a steel chalkboard with individual component modules and pre- wired circuit panels. Alongside each component -mounted module is silkscreened its circuit symbol. This device makes it possible for the teacher to construct a completely operational circuit and circuit diagram right on the board. Power mechanics is also proving to be a most interesting and suc- cessful new offering. Work is done on reconditioning all types of power lawn mowers, outboard motors, and automobile engines. Boys selecting this course are allowed two periods daily in this area and their work has improved greatly. New equipment such as the valve -grinder and spark plug cleaner, plus the training on the engine analyzer, gives these boys knowledge for vocational training in the future. Improvements in the English instructional material and the library books and materials have been accomplished through the aid of federal- ly -funded projects. Many new resource materials have been purchased and are being used by students. We were pleased to receive a cash gift from the graduating class of 1968 toward the purchase of a microfilm reader. This has been purchased along with microfilm reviews of recent additions of many periodicals. It is planned that a complete microfilm library be established, and efforts of the Social Studies and English departments are in this direction. Additional Title III projects have been prepared by the Science and Social Studies departments. The Science Department project in- volves the purchase of "Investigating the Earth" materials. This is a text -laboratory program to enrich the offering in the Earth Science areas. The Social Studies project involves enrichment materials, such as film- strips, additional maps, atlases and audio-visual materials. Please see the department reports that follow for an account of other areas of growth. The school has assumed the responsibility of aiding the home, church and community in educating pupils to meet the social problems arising due to alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. A special committee of teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, nurse, and pupils has been in existence and has been meeting regularly. Student assembly 8 programs have been conducted using speakers, films, and research people. This program will be continued in the future and coordinated with community activities when possible, May I express my gratefulness to the Superintendent of Schools and the School Committee for their continued encouragement and sup- port of our programs.

Zitola DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOLARSHIP FUND TRUSTEES COMMENCEMENT — 1968 The Trustees have been gratified to acknowledge contributions approximating $3,300.00 from the following donors since June 1967: Yarmouth Post #197 — American Legion, Jaycee-ettes, Marguerite P. Garland, Yarmouth Police Relief Association, the Friday Club, Dart- mouth College Club of Cape Cod, Howard B. Munroe Memorial, Peter Maxtone-Graham Memorial, Stephen A. Kimball Memorial, William P. Frost Memorial, and Scholarships Anonymous. The two new Memorial Scholarships—William P. Frost and Stephen A. Kimball—have been noted with sincere appreciation. Three donations have been received to date from friends of the late former Selectman, and the Stephen A. Kimball Memorial Scholarship presently amounts to nearly $2,100.00. Also during the year, recipients of loans from the Scholarship Fund have begun to repay the amounts granted by the Trustees. Scholarships in the amount of $1,625.00 were awarded at gradua- tion last year—two outright, and three over a four-year period. Of these, one came from funds made available through the Peter Maxtone- Graham Memorial, three were in part taken from the fund established by the Yarmouth Trust Fund Commissioners, with the remainder being paid from the General Scholarship Fund. In addition to the scholarship award made possible through the generosity of Scholarships Anony- mous for study abroad in 1967, a 1966 graduate has been selected this year to receive the Scholarships Anonymous grant. This award will be an adjunct to funds provided for the TUFTS IN LONDON program, which allows the D -Y graduate, now attending Jackson College, to study in London for the academic year 1968-1969. Another grant has been instituted by Scholarships Anonymous for a special student, who will further his education in any college of his choice. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of those who have given so graciously during the past year, as in other years, and know such benefi- cence will reap its own reward in the enriched lives of our young people.

Downey, Director A comprehensive guidance program must attempt to determine and help meet the needs of all students. In order that this may be accom- plished most effectively, the following general objectives have been set forth by the Guidance Department: 1. To provide maximum help through counseling services. 2. To help students decide upon tentative post high-school plans and select appropriate subjects which would lead toward the realization of these goals. 3. To coordinate and integrate pupil services throughout the school. 4. To provide teachers and administrators with student personnel information as an aid in meeting individual needs. 5. To help teachers and administrators determine student needs and possible ways of meeting them. 13 Individual counseling is the nucleus of the guidance program and interviews are carried on in the areas of occupational, vocational, per- sonal and social problems. Teachers, school administrators and special services refer students. In many instances, pupils seek counseling ser- vices themselves. Each student was scheduled for an interview at least twice during the year, and many students were seen on far more frequent occasions. Last spring each student was scheduled on an individual basis; thus, the student was given an opportunity to discuss his future goals with his counselor and, with him, to plan a realistic program of study. During this period, the, guidance counselors wereavailable five evenings on five consecutive weeks to allow ample time and opportunity for parents to discuss their child's program of study. Preceding the individual scheduling, an Open House was ' held one evening during the early spring to inform the parents of the program offerings and what could be expected in each departmental area. The chairman of each department presented his own goals and expectations. For the second consecutive year, I spent one week during early spring visiting colleges; this year, in the New Jersey, Eastern Pennsyl- vania area. Those schools I had the opportunity to visit were: Upsala University, Seton Hall University, Rider College, Lafayette College, Lehigh University, Muhlenburg College, Moravian College, Albright College, Bucknell University, Susquehanna University, Dickenson Col- lege, Lebanon Valley College and Franklin and Marshall College. During late spring, in cooperation with the elementary areas, an orientation program was presented to eighth grade students. Mrs. O'Don- nell and I visited the schools of Dennis and Yarmouth and spoke with the students about the coming high-school years. Once these visits were completed, the eight graders were brought to the high school for lunch, a tour of the building, and a program presented by the Student Council. Early in the present school year, a College Information Night pro- gram was presented to parents on the steps to be taken in preparing their children for college. During the early fall, I had the opportunity to attend the Associa- tion of College Admissions Counselors' Convention in New York. Al- most every college and university in the United States was represented, and this proved to be an outstanding professional experience. Faced with an ever-increasing enrollment, the guidance services must continue to expand and grow. However, no guidance program can be effective without the continued support and cooperation of the school staff, parents and the community at large. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT • Alan R. Carlsen, Chairman Submitted herewith is my report, as chairman of the English De- partment at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. 14 Personnel and class Appointed prior Mr. Kelly Miss May Miss Smith Mrs. Evans Miss Rice Mrs. Derick Mr. Carlsen • Appointed 1968: Mr.Dolan distribution to 1968: 5 junior classes` 2 freshman classes, 2 speech classes 3 junior classes, 2 sophomore classes 5 senior classes 5 sophomore classes - 3 freshman classes, 2 Latin classes 3 freshman classes, 2 sophomore classes 1.. sophomore class, 3 junior classes 1 senior class Mr. Sorblom 3 sophomore classes, 2 freshman classes Mr. Thompson 5 senior classes A brief summary of the English offerings follows. English I Emphasis at this level is centered on the following: the prin- ciples of grammar and punctuation, correct usage in written and oral communication, an introduction to a critical study of prose and poetry, and vocabulary growth through a study of prefixes, roots, and suffixes. English II This course, at both . the college preparatory and vocational levels, is a composite of grammar,- composition, literature, vocabu- lary, and spelling. The ninth -grade grammatical skills are re- viewed and extended; composition work is both written and oral, creative and factual; literature appreciation is developed through the study of short stories, drama, poetry and novels; and regular • emphasis is placed upon spelling and vocabulary. - English III The junior year focuses upon developing composition skills and reading and analyzing American literature from its beginnings to the present. - English IV • The emphasis is on the chronological study of English litera- ture from the epic to modern novel and short story. The student is expected to make critical evaluation and analysis • of literary " works. 'Composition work stresses ability to write in acceptable grammatical form all four forms of discourses: description; narra- tion, argumentation, 'and exposition. Speech The purpose of the course is to afford practice in oral com- munication and •to work toward more effective speech by , means of . prepared and extemporaneous presentations. Group discussion and formal debate are studied to develop logic and clearer com- munication in oral problem solving. 15 As the number of students has increased, our need for additional supplementary texts has grown as well, and I am pleased to say that a representative selection of supplementary book sets and reading in- structional material was obtained through the Title III program by my -predecessor, Mr. Christos Socarides. May I take this opportunity to mention the excellent library and librarian we are so fortunate to have at this school. The selection of books and magazines caters to the most varied reading interests, and Mrs. Garland continues to be one of the younger members of our faculty with her interest in the students and cooperation with faculty members throughout the school. The spirit of cooperation has been no less evident among the mem- bers of our own department, and it is my pleasure to submit this report as their department. chairman. MODERN LANGUAGE AND LATIN DEPARTMENTS Charles L. Jaillet, Chairman The 1968 Modern Language and Latin department's report is of particular significance since it marks the tenth year of a most interest- ing and profitable period of achievement. In brief retrospect, the de- partment has grown from a two -teacher staff to seven teachers. Through Title III grants and the cooperation of the administration and the school committee, there has been a constant increase in basic texts and related material to keep abreast of the modern trend in the field of language teaching. Audio-visual equipment now includes new tape recorders, film strip and slide projectors, overhead projectors and tapes with film strips to parallel the texts in use, as well as many other innovations. More films depicting the life and customs of the various countries have stimulated interest in the students. As has been mentioned in previous reports, a language laboratory is being considered as the current plant expands. Classes have been limited to as small an enrollment as possible to allow more time for individual attention. The results of the Modern Language Association tests and other examinations of a similar nature, based on nation wide norms, indicate that our students compare most favorably with those of high percentile ratings of other schools. Those who have taken College Board examinations have also achieved excellent results. Under consideration is a French V course for an accelerated group. Suggestions have also been made that, eventually, German be added to the present curriculum. Enrollment in the Spanish classes has increased, and a greater number of pupils are taking advanced courses in all lan- guages. The Latin classes continue to provide an excellent medium of instruction, both practical and cultural. The staff, except for the addition of one teacher last year and one this year, has remained constant over the years. The Junior High program functions well and its transference to the Senior High school is definitely an asset. 16 May I, as in the past, express my most sincere appreciation to the members of the staff who have made the department function so well - Mrs. Van Buren, Mrs. Derick, Miss Perez, Miss May, Miss Crane and Mr. Denault. To Mr. Downey and the members of the guidance de- partment, Mr. Muir and his visual aid staff, Mrs. Garland and the library assistants, the secretaries, Mr. Webster and Dr. Johnson, our most sincere thanks. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Stanley M. Daggett, Chairman Submitted herewith is my annual report as chairman of the Mathe- matics Department of Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. Increased enrollment has made it necessary- to enlarge the Mathe- matics Department to seven teachers, each teaching five classes. Teach- ing assignments for the school year 1968-1969 are as follows: Stanley Daggett Russel Grander Grace Walsh Peter Barca Roger Foster Thomas Butler Richard Fairman - Algebra - Algebra - General - Algebra - General - General - General David Clark and Robert Edwards chusetts Association of Mathematics eighty of over seven thousand students matics Examination sponsored by the erica. Mr. Grander and I have completed an introductory course in Com- puter Mathematics. We were impressed by the many uses that program- ming could have in our present courses, and feel that this type of equip- ment will soon be a necessity for the mathematics curriculum. I wish to thank Mr. Kenyon, Dr. Johnson and members of the School Committee for their interest and assistance. I, Geometry, Math V II, Math IV Math I, Algebra I, Geometry I, Algebra II, Geometry Math I, Algebra I Math I, Algebra I, Senior Math Math II, Geometry, Algebra II received awards from the Massa - Leagues for scoring in the top who took the High School Mathe- Mathematical Association of Am - BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Miss Priscilla M. Tinkham, Chairman Business education embodies the acquisition of skills and knowl- edge — an appreciation of the privilege of work and the sense of pride in a job well done. Thirteen subjects are offered within the Business Department. These subjects are offered in sequential order, with the direct objective that a student may feel that he or she is adequately trained at the end of the Senior year for employment, or perhaps that interest has been stimulated for future study. The six teachers of the Department are aware of the changes that are occurring in business and in education, and we anticipate the chal- lenge of our special role in the ;preparation of our students for the computer age. We know that there will be job opportunities of tomorrow 17 that are not in :existence today. • Our business area is a most responsible one,'f and -the. Business. Department -of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School.- is alert and' prepared for this responsibility. We have excellent facilities for the training of our students; the best materials are -available for their use; and each teacher of the Department is a dedicated person. ' .r • Two new courses are being offered this year — Personal Typewrit- ing for half•a year to Freshmen enrolled in the college course, and the secretarial section of the Department is offering Transcription two periods a week. We want to make it possible for more students to elect typewriting and we want to increase competency in both speed and accuracy in shorthand. Other subjects will be offered as the Depart- ment continuesto expand. Within the past year new equipment has been added — five Royal electric typewriters, five 10 -key Monroe adding machines for the special use of students in the Bookkeeping classes, an Adler electric typewriter, a Gestetner electric mimeograph machine, a Monroe electric 10 -key adding machine and an Olympia manual typewriter. We are especially proud of the success of our students — both those who are scholastically outstanding in business schools and those who hold responsible positions within the communities here and off the Cape. We keep in personal touch with many former graduates. In this way, we are able to help undergraduates prepare for similar' success. Recognition of successful accomplishment in areas of study within the Department is provided. We broaden the learning experience of the classroom by having successful men in particular areas of business speak to the students. Classes make visitations' to the courts and to business establishments. Modern business machines are brought into the classroom and left for the use of students. Teachers within the Department, successful in their own personal business areas, enrich their subject presentation immeas- urably. Other teachers interpret subject matter as related to graduate study and advanced courses. We welcome Mr. Lloyd Avery to the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School and the Business Department. ' The Department wishes to express sincere appreciation to you, Mr. Kenyon, members of the School Committee, Dr. Wallace A. Johnson, Mr. Edward M. Webster, and all members of the faculty and staff for their interest and support. • 1 VOCATIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT Andrew H. Miller, Chairman The reports of the "fringe'; members of the Industrial Arts Depart- ment, Art and Home Economics, _will be found elsewhere over the signatures of the Senior Teachers in each. We are feeling, as in all other -departments in the school, the pinch of the expanded- school population. Potential problems, at the moment, lie in the General Industrial Arts and Drafting areas. Students who might profit from these experiences in the 9th • grade • must postpone their participation to a later year. Too, we are always mindful of the 18 possibility that the interests of those outside our particular sphere of influence (the college 'bound or general students) should probably be served; but this is beyond the availability of facilities and time (theirs and ours). The additional equipment acquired, this year• a valve grinder purchased by the school and a power tire changer given by Mr. Kenneth Wakem of Dennisport — help to round out- our Power Mechanics Shop. Also, an electric folder and a paper drill are valuable additions to the Print Shop. .. In the areas of Woodworking, Drafting and Boat Building there have been no major acquisitions. Preventive maintenance has been performed on the power equipment and repairs made necessary .):by normal use of the machines have been made as need dictated. The members of this department join me in expressing thanks to all concerned for their cooperation and for the excellent supply of necessary materials and equipment, this past year. HOME ECONOMVkICS DEPARTMENT Mrs. Doris M. Loomer For several years, I have pointed out in some detail that the four- year sequence includes foods and clothing, consumer information, child care and development, family living, home nursing, housing and interior decoration. All are adapted to meet the needs of the girls at any particular level. This year, I would like to note some of the special events and trips that we feel have enhanced the program. Girls have visited a local bank, dry cleaning and' laundry establish- ments, a furniture store, a nursery school, a men's wear shop and super- markets. In each case, the management has given guided tours and talks. Senior girls went to Boston, where large retail stores took us behind the scenes in every area. Girls learned many new facts from the standpoint of consumers, and possible retailing careers. Seniors also visited several homes in different stages of construction during their housing study. We feel that each of these field trips is equal :to several hours of classroom instruction. Guest speakers from the Extension Service, the S.P.C.C., a local bank and a florist shop talked to our classes. Our annual Christmas Tea provided an opportunity to display furniture the girls had refinished and to wear outfits they had made. Younger girls visited nursing homes; made toys for the hospital; and collected, mended and sent boxes of clothing to children in the war zone. We are pleased that we now have several girls who are going to go on to secure college degrees in, Home Economics. ART DEPARTMENT - - . . Pauline L. Hopkins • Again it is time to report the progress of the Art•Department and, again, we can report favorably. . , _ r 19 Last March we were the recipients of a national award for the excellence of Dennis -Yarmouth's Art Department. There are 300 of these in the entire U.S.A. We received this from Scholastic Magazines. In the national contest, David Wiley was awarded a gold medal. On the State level we received 16 gold keys, and 5 pieces were considered worthy of consideration at the national level. Twenty-nine pieces of work were accepted for State Exhibition. Your art teacher has been invited to serve as a juror for the State of Rhode Island for the third successive year. She is also on the State Advisory Committee of Massachusetts. We have been visited for purposes of observation by the head of the Art Department from Fitchburg State Teachers' College, and also by Mr. William Farrington, State Superintendent of Art. Our school duties and activities have been as follows: 1. We have filled display cases. 2. We and the Music Department put on the Christmas Assembly, and decorated the front entrance of the school. 3. We held an annual art show. 4. We held a sale, the proceeds of which were used for scholar- ships for our art students. Seven of our last year's students are now attending reputable art schools; two of them are benefited by Portfolio competition scholar- ships (first and second) given by the State Federation of women's clubs. One of these winners also was a finalist in the national Hallmark com- petition. There is a total of 14 students in attendance at art schools and colleges. One of our art students, after graduation from Rhode Island School of Design, was accepted by the Royal Danish Academy and is now living in Denmark and attending the above. "Art for Young America" accepted and printed sketches from 11 of our artists. We are fortunate to have fine creative people to teach — the young adults of Dennis -Yarmouth Regional. We feel there are none better. We are also fortunate to have a superintendent who understands our aims, and a school committee which provides us with the materials to do the job. From administration, fellow teachers, staff and custodial personnel we receive the finest cooperation. MUSIC DEPARTMENT Charles E. Tourjee I am pleased to submit my twelfth annual report as director of music.

York, Chairman In this age when technological advances influence the lives of so many people, it is extremely important that each .citizen have as much contact with science as possible. Current public concern and interest in:such diverse topics as air and water pollution, fluoridation, wildlife conservation, oceanography, electronics and radioactive fallout emphasize the importance of a public educated in the way a scientist works — as well as in the facts of science. Here at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional we are developing a curriculum which offers science to students of all interests and abilities. Next year we will offer a new laboratory -centered approach to our ninth grade science classes. Over 200 sophomores are taking advantage of our fine biology laboratories. Successful innovations in this area included a concentrated six-week laboratory sequence in which the college biology students studied plant growth and development. During this study many of the pupils really began to understand the interdisciplinary nature of science. This sequence will be repeated next year and a second, different, series will also be tested. In our effort to encourage all students to take as many science courses as possible, we offer the following selections: Grade 9 10 Course Earth Science General Biology College Biology Electronics I 11 General Chemistry College Chemistry Electronics II 12 General Physics College Physics Teacher Mr. Wherity Mr. Abel Miss Anderson Mr. Corriea Mr. York and Mr. Wherity Mr. York and Mr. Bell Mr. Corriea Mr. Bell Mr. Bell As the school grows, so does our science enrollment. Our records show that we gain one full class of students each year. This means that the department should have another teacher by Sept. 1970 and that steps should be taken to insure the additional laboratory facilities that will be needed in the near future. Through the interest and cooperation of the administration and the school committee we have been able to send students and teachers to such worthwhile educational and scientific functions as: the Science in Action Conference at U. Mass., Bell Telephone Laboratories, National Science Teachers Conference, National Conference on Youth and the Atom, M.I.T. Nuclear Reactor Lab. Students also have attended lectures sponsored by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Boston Museum of Science. I would like to point out that many of these functions oc- curred evenings and weekends, a fact which serves to emphasize fur- ther the interest the teachers have in their students. 22 SOCIAL .STUDIES ,DEPARTMENT Walter _C. Hewins, Chairman I hereby submit my report for 1968. The basic responsibility of the Social Studies.. Program at Dennis - Yarmouth is the development. of informed citizens fully aware of the need for insuring the dignity and worth of the individual; for personal involvement in improving the society they have,inherited; for appreciat- ing the contributions of all cultures to society; and for recognizing the interdependence of all peoples. In the largest sense, then, the goal of Social Studies is to prepare students for intelligent participation in a free society. To fulfill our responsibility, the Social Studies faculty at Dennis - Yarmouth is constantly investigating methods and curriculum to improve our program. During 1968, meetings were held with the Social Studies teachers at John Simpkins School and Ezra Baker School for the purpose of further coordinating the Social Studies Program of Grades 6 through 12. , The Social Studies Department at Dennis -Yarmouth initiated a new program in the freshman year. Under this program, all of the 9th grade students are required to study basic Federal, State, and local Govern- ment for a minimum of one quarter of the school year. This program provides the fundamentals of democratic government upon which subse- quent courses can build and evaluate. The following are the courses offered and teacher assignments: Grade 9 — Civics: Mr. Liberty; Mr. Doherty. Grade 9 — Ancient History: Mr. Thompson. Grade 10 -- Economic Geography: Mr. Embler; Mr. Malloy; Mr. Doherty. Grade 10 — World History: Mr. Carter. • Grade 11 — U. S. History: Miss From; Mr. Hewins; Mr. Liberty; Mr. Aldridge. Grade 12 — Contemporary Government: Miss From.; Mr. Aldridge; Mr. Doherty. _ .. Grades 11 & 12 - Economics and Psychology: Mr. Embler; Mr. Malloy. The following is a typical program ,we feel: to be a sound one — 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 political and cultural his- tory 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 college type "lecture discussion" programs. Using the background information gained in grades 9 through 11, • the student studies contemporary world and domestic problems. .. 1 The non -college preparatory student might be more interested in substituting Civics for Ancient History in,.the 9th grade and Economic Geography for World History •'in the 10th grade. We believe that this program also maintains •a logical sequence of courses.. 23: PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Merrill D. Wilson, Chairman It is with pleasure that I submit my annual report as Physical Edu- cation Director of Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. It is my sincerest desire that the success of the Dennis -Yarmouth Athletic Program will not be measured by the won and lost records of its athletic teams; but if this be the criterion, the year 1968 has to be considered one of the most successful years, if not the most successful year, in the school's history. Listed below are the season records of the nine major sports that comprise the athletic program: Sport Won Lost Tie Basketball 17 5 0 Gymnastics 2 7 0 Hockey 8 6 1 Baseball 19 4 0 Golf 13 2 1 Track 6 2 0 Cross Country 6 0 0 Football 5 3 0 Soccer 8 3 2 Total 84 32 4 These records are impressive not only on a won and lost basis, but also for the number of championships attained. They include two State Championships (State Class D Champion in track and State Class D Champion in cross country), three Capeway Conference Champions (baseball, cross country, golf), and two Cape Cod Champions (basketball and soccer). I know I speak for all the coaches when I say that this success could not have been achieved without the cooperation and assistance of many: School Committee, Superintendent, Principal, faculty, student body, and townspeople. In the area of Physical Education, we are continuing to offer as diversified a program as facilities and time will allow. Our units are broken down as follows: 2 weeks - orientation and testing 7 weeks - soccer and football skills 7 weeks - wrestling and basketball skills 7 weeks - gymnastics and First Aid skills 7 weeks - wrestling and volleyball skills 9 weeks - tennis, track, and softball skills Intramurally we offered a Saturday Morning Basketball Program for the first time last winter, with over one hundred boys taking part. As I stated in my report last year, we are in dire need of addi- tional Physical Education facilities. Externally we are in need of a more suitable practice football area, an additional baseball diamond, and an additional soccer field. These needs are brought about by ex- panding programs and greater participation. 24 Internally we are in need of additional locker room facilities and additional teaching stations. This need has been brought about by an enrollment total that exceeds the area needed to carry out a functional program and allow proper locker, dressing, and shower facilities. In closing I wish to thank personally the students at Dennis -Yar- mouth Regional High School for the many intangible ways they have encouraged me. I only hope I have contributed as much to their lives as they have _ contributed to mine. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Frances IL Woods It gives the Women's Physical Education Department great pleasure to present its annual report to the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee. Our program this year consists of five categories: physical fitness testing; individual, dual, and team sports; gymnastics; rhythmic ac- tivities; and first aid. Physical fitness testing is administered both in the fall and the spring so students can have an individual record of their progress for the year. Also, four year cumulative records are kept to note any unusual changes or improvements; our sports program in- cludes tennis, track and field, basketball, volleyball, field hockey, speed - ball, and softball. Gymnastics includes apparatus, tumbling, and free exercise. This year we have added an extensive unit in rhythmic ac- tivities including modern dance, physical fitness routines to music, square dance, and bamboo dancing. A six-week standard Red Cross first aid unit is taught to all sophomores in the spring. We feel that through this program we can best accomplish the physical, mental, emotional, and social values that are our objectives in physical education. The visitors' locker room and old boat building room were used as extra teaching stations; however, we still find that some of our classes are quite overcrowded and activities which take place in these rooms are often limited. In interscholastic sports we competed in the Capeway Conference in field hockey, basketball, and softball. An informal tennis team was organized and non-league games were set up. It is hoped that tennis will become a regular interscholastic sport this spring. Intramural volleyball and gymnastics programs are scheduled for any girls interested. Student enthusiasm is unusually high, and girls of any skill level can come for self-improvement and enjoyment. We wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Kenyon, the School Com- mittee, Dr. Wallace Johnson, Mr. Merrill Wilson and all our faculty for their interest and assistance. LIBRARY Mrs. Marguerite Garland, Librarian School library services are a part of instruction. The Library should be the center for a rich variety of materials which provide for the needs of the instructional program and stimulates independent study 25 and research by • the students. I• am very grateful that this has always been recognized -+by the Administration, and resources have been pro- vided to make this Library a rich materials center. • We are very fortunate this year to have Mrs. Mary D. Perley as full-time Assistant Librarian. She . has been able to better organize our vertical and pamphlet files, picture material, and the record file. We are now working to bring the card catalog up to date. The Class of 1968, realizing the greatneed for aMicrofilm Reader, gave a substantial gift toward the purchase of one. The Reader and Microfilm have been ordered. This added service will be especially appreciated by the Social Studies and the English . Departments. We will now be able to add microfilm that will be useful to all departments. It is hoped that we may also have more Readers in the near future. Microfilm is a very good audio-visual material. It is always available, whereas printed material may become lost or worn out. The usual Library instruction to students is continuing this year. Because of this instruction we have had reports that our students know how to use a Library when entering schools of higher learning. • Classes are occasionally brought to the Library by teachers to start a research project. At other times a smaller group of students may come to do some research. The Library was again• open for the summer session and proved to be of valuable - help. Circulation for the year is as follows: Fiction, 2660; Non -Fiction, 2701; Periodicals and pamphlets, 1772. AUDIO-VISUAL DEPARTMENT Gilbert Muir, Chairman It is time once again to submit reports of departmental activities for the'"past' year. The work of the Visual -Aids Department, with few exceptions, has continued • a pattern similar to previous years. This - plan has been effective in dealing with our everyday problems. One of the functions of the department is the knowledge of the location of each piece of equipment so that it may be used to serve its greatest need at any time. The inventory on Dec. 11, 1968, shows 114 pieces throughout the school. Every effort has been made to see that all equipment receives good care and is kept in satisfactory operating condition. This is something of a problem when different teachers and, at times, •the 'general public use this material. I .feel that the cost of maintenance has been kept within reasonable limits. It is always a pleasure to 'have new and additional pieces of .equip- ment arrive. The various items obtained under Title III for the use of the English Department made the requirements of other departments much easier to meet. The . new speakers we obtained last June have helped with our sound problems both inside and outdoors. Mr. Connors •was: a great loss to this department since his talentgave him a special interest An this area. 26 The Visual Aids work has gone along with the fine cooperation of several boys who assist in many ways. The cooperation of the faculty and administration is greatly appreciated. SUMMER SCHOOL REPORT John W. Downey, Director The 1968 Summer School student enrollment and class enrollment remained about constant with previous years. However, the drop-out rate was the lowest in the history of the Summer School. Twenty-five classes were taught in nineteen different areas. The mathematics courses again proved to be the most popular in terms of enrollment. One new course, "Basic Skills in History and Government," was added to the curriculum. Ninety-four Dennis -Yarmouth students attended the summer session, while sixty-five 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 one new course already listed, our curriculum included English 9, English 10, English 11, Composition, French I, French II and III, Latin I, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Introduction to Physics and Chemistry, Marine Biology, Remedial Reading, Develop- mental Reading, Typing, Driver Education, General Art, and Introduc- tion to Hand and Power Tools. Faculty members from our school were Mr. Peter Barca, Mr. Donald Bell, Mr. Alan Carlsen, Mr. Lyman Carter, Mr. Charles Corkum, Mr. Stanley Daggett, Mrs. Elaine Derick, Mrs. Dorothy Evans, Mr. Phillip Egan, Mrs. Marguerite Garland, Mr. Russell Grander, Mr. Charles Jaillet, Mr. M. Alden James, Mr. Thomas Kelly and Mr. Alan Pearson. Mrs. Ellen Baker, Mr. Robert Baker and Mrs. Lucille Lovejoy completed our faculty. HEALTH DEPARTMENT Esther McCarthy, School Nurse Since my appointment in mid-October a great deal of my time has been spent in orientation. The Massachusetts Dept. of Public - Health sponsored two clinics in the use of the audio and visual testing machines. Attendance was mandatory for State approval in testing the eyes and ears of the children. Next was a series of fourorientation meetings sponsored -by the same department for newly appointed school nurses in the Southeastern District. These meetings went into great detail to inform us about our role as school nurse, responsibility in carrying out State regulations which apply to school children, and also give us a chance to share problems. 27 Without goinginto great detail in regard to the above categories, I would like to go on record this year stating that it is obvious, even to a newcomer, that as the student enrollment increases each year, hiring a school health aid to do the testing of the eyes and ears with MDPH approval will be necessary. In fact, many school systems have already done so with the figures of our present enrollment. This gives the nurse more time to do follow-up work on health problems, which is a responsibility that cannot be delegated to another. The health office is, judging from all previous available records, getting busier each year. Although no serious problems have occurred to date, at the current rate of twenty decisions more or less per school day — each made with great care — one must always keep in mind that the potential is ever present. In the matter of sharing problems with the other nurses, I must confess I just listened, and felt very fortunate, indeed. The manner in which I have been indoctrinated at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School has been most cordial and on a high level of cooperation from every department. I have been particularly impressed by the concern of the individual teachers in reporting chronic absenteeism or health problems to me. Dr. Johnson, Mr. Webster, the guidance department, the front office personnel, the Physical Education Departments, and my predecessor, Mrs. Marion Mitchell, have been more than helpful. I am deeply grateful to them for their patience and understanding while I struggled with learning the rudiments of the job. Mrs. Nancy O'Don- nell has my very special thanks for her assistance above and beyond the call of duty. In August, September, October and November, physical exams were done by Dr. Hermon Howes, assisted by the nurse, for those boys and girls participating in the sports program. A good response was had for the adult anti -flu vaccine clinic which was held in November, voted to us by the generosity of the school committee. The immunization clinics will be held in the Spring because of the heavy Fall schedule, and the balance of the tenth grade physicals will be completed after the Christmas vacation. Because of the serious threat to health in -this present generation, I assisted the guidance department in November and December in plan- ning a panel on the subject of drug abuse. The panel consisted of a leading pediatrician, Dr. Elroy Anderson, Detective Walter Kelley, law enforcement officer, and Reverend James Nelson, a minister. The panel attempted to answer questions which had previously been submitted by the freshman and sophomore classes. There was a follow-up film shown twice during the week, attended voluntarily, and followed by a question and answer period. This was heavily attended. Plans are being made to include a program for the junior and senior classes on the same subject. 28 In conclusion, my sincere thanks to all of those responsible for my appointment. I find the school nurse's job a most rewarding and chal- lenging experience. DRIVER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Philip T. Egan, Jr., Chairman Since school opened in Sept. I have certified forty-five students who have completed the driver Education course. Five more of this group remain to be certified as of this date. A second classroom group began on Oct. 1, composed of forty-four students. This group should finish their classroom work about a week after we return from the Christmas Holidays.

Darling Howard W. Marchant John G. Sears BOARD OF ASSESSORS REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPT. To : Henry R. Darling, Chairman From : Miss Mary Susich, County Health Officer Date : January 6, 1970 Enclosed please find a copy of the Barnstable County Health Department's annual report for. 1969 to include in your town report. May I take this opportunity to express the appreciation of all the health department staff for your cooperation and as always stand ready to assist in any way we can. Best wishes for a successful year ahead. To the Board of Health Town of Yarmouth I am pleased to submit this annual report of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1969. 71 On August 20, 1969, Rubella (German Measles) vaccine was made available by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Rubella is usually a mild disease. It assumes tremendous impor- tance when a pregnant woman contracts the disease during the first trimester of pregnancy because of the possibility of congenital defects in the newborn. There is a 20 per cent risk of a dead or deformed infant. Thus, the most important objective of a Rubella Control Program is the prevention of maternal rubella. This can best be accomplished at the present time by reducing the reser- voir of rubella virus in the community through the immunization of children. Children, particularly in the early grades of school, are the biggest source of infection to mothers who are still susceptible. They are also the major source of transmission of the disease in the community. The objective of the 1969-1970 school year is to im- munize both boys and girls, kindergarten through grade three with plans to eventually include children one year through junior high school age. The increased needs for all kinds of services, the continued rise in costs creating competition for the tax dollar and the need to improve the use of the available professionally prepared human resources demands that all provider agencies must cooperate in planning for and in the delivery of the needed health services for every citizen in Barnstable County. We see the present reorganization process of the Massachu- setts Department of Public Health and the State Comprehensive Health Planning Program for Massachusetts as two important steps in helping the local health agencies in reaching this goal. The "Barnstable" area provider and consumer representatives have just begun their planning for a study of our health needs and of the best systems to provide the services to take care of the con- firmed health needs of all citizens. If the Barnstable County citizens become determined to meet the challenge of "promoting and assuring the highest level of health attainable for every person" the "Partnership for Health Act of 1966" can become a reality. The second nurse position was filled late this year. This will provide additional qualified public health nursing supervision to the staff of seven home health agencies ; consultation to Boards of Health, school health nursing personnel and Home Health Agencies that have qualified nurse supervision. Dental Health The program emphasis is continued health education, con- sultation to the community and school programs, with direct service limited to headstart and pre-school age groups. A highlight of this year was the participation in a research project with the Barnstable School System, Forsyth Dental Center and Massachusetts Depart - 72 ment of Public Health studying the fluoride content in children's teeth. Dental caries continues to be a top public health problem. There is a safe preventive measure, and legislation available, all that is needed is positive community action. Environmental Sanitation The surveillance program of all public service facilities con- tinues to expand annually. More time has been used in water pollution control in cooperation with the Boards of Health, Massa- chusetts Department of Public Health and Massachusetts Depart- ment of Natural Resources. We recommend the board of health request the town planning board to have the plot include the contour levels and a determina- tion of the ground water table. This would limit problems created by the sewage disposal and protect the water supplies. Nursing Service The number of public health nurses employed in Barnstable County continues to rise : The year and number employed 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 33 43 51 52 55 of the number employed in 1969, nine are employed in a general- ized nursing service, 15 in home visiting only, 21 in schools, 3 in headstart and 7 as consultant -directors, executive director and/or supervisor. Of the total of 55 ; 15 are prepared public health nurses. Eight were newly employed and needed orientation. Services provided had more emphasis on direct supervision of nurses employed by towns and schools ; all town nurses are now using one of the standard methods of keeping patient -care records, keeping a daily and monthly statistical record of kinds of cases and kind of care given, age distribution and type of payment made. Analysis and evaluation of data will be done. Some proposed plans for the coming year are : 1. Strengthening the maternal and child health services by in-service education programs and individual direction. 2. Developing more meaningful service by the public health nurse as a part of the State Crippled Children's program. 3. Participating in the development of policies for school health programs through committee involvement. 4. Strengthening the role of the professional advisory com- mittees : for example, policy and programs developed for Home Health Agencies, Cape Cod Community Col- lege Health Service and Headstart health services. 5. Study and evaluation of supervision provided to nurses ; review of all nursing activities related to the purpose of improvement of nursing service in Barnstable County. 73 Social Service The medical social worker has completed the first full year in this new position to the County. She serves as consultant to all members of the health department staff, Board of Health, com- munity and school nurses, local physicians, hospital and nursing home professional personnel, and all public and private agencies. An important phase of the program has been to establish a workable referral program, providing proper use of resources and resulting in better services to the people in this area.

Whittemore Chief of Department 76 CONSERVATION COMMISSION'S REPORT Conservation of our environment has become the theme of today, whether it be international, national, or local. Unless some kind of control of pollution of the air and water is enacted, then man will disappear from the earth. One estimate is that this could begin as early as thirty-five years from now. So, in the past year we have broadened our scope of thinking and are planning ac- cordingly. As in previous years, many of our plans are in the work- ing stage and will need more time to complete. This year, we acquired additional land adjoining our other parcels on the North side of Horse Pond. Also a piece of land, with some frontage on the water, on the South side of Dennis Pond. Additional work has been done on the herring run, completing another phase of our program there. Through the efforts of Ray Darling, we have secured title to thirteen more acres of marshland on the North side of town. Other owners of the marshes are realizing the importance of these areas for the survival of the human race. This has been a year of great effort on our part, and we look forward to the completion of many of our projects in this coming year. We anticipate a number of changes in Conservation, which will help to carry our program forward more rapidly. Again we wish to thank you for your loyal and enthusiastic support. Thomas Em bier (Secretary) Loren Petry Quinton Scott Raymond Syrjala (Chairman) Allen Vera REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR Dec. 18, 1969 To the Board of Selectmen : In 1969 the Town accepted seven new roads which were com- pleted in addition to three roads carried over from 1968 after water installations had been made. Half of White's Path was reconstructed. A section of Winslow Grey Rd. was resurfaced and a curbed sidewalk was laid in that area. Blue Rock Rd. was also resurfaced. The sides of all new roads were loamed and seeded. 77 Chapter 90 money was used to complete the paving of Sea View Ave. Sixty feet of 48" pipe was laid on Long Pond Drive to replace the broken pipe. 1954 feet of 10" drainage pipe was laid on various Town streets. We installed 51 leach basins and 34 catch basins. Thirty nine new street signs were installed. This year we tried a new product in this area called "Slurry Seal". This is similar to seal coating except it does not require sanding afterward. In approximately two hours the road is dry enough to permit traffic on it. There is no dust after this mix is used as in seal coating and the traction is superior. Six town streets were "Slurred Sealed" and various others were seal coated. James C. Marsh, Highway Surveyor. REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH COUNCIL ON AGING December 31, 1969 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth : The Yarmouth Council on Aging is happy to say it has com- pleted a most successful year. Since May 6, 1968, when the Den- nis -Yarmouth Information and Referral Service was opened, 2027 persons registered as Senior Citizens - 1194 from .Yarmouth and 833 from Dennis. These persons received Identification Cards en- titling them to a 10% discount on prescription drugs ; a discount at the Cape Cod Health Appliance Store ; a discount on Sonotone Hearing Aids and Batteries ; special admission prices to matinees at the movies and checking accounts without any charges and no minimum balance required, at certain banks on the Cape. Our Telephone Life Line is proving its worth time and time again and the Council members are most grateful to those volun- teers who are acting as Contacts. On April 1, 1969, the D -Y Center for Senior Citizens was opened on Salt Works Lane. The use of this Center has been so successful that we have already outgrown it and must now put our minds to building larger quarters. The classes in Oil Painting and Crewel. Embroidery are very popular, and Wednesday after- noons, set aside "for men only" and Friday afternoons for Bridge are overcrowded. Mrs. Nancy Cross, our very capable Chief Clerk at the Center, finds herself operating from the kitchen and, at 78 one time, from the clothes closet. The 45 persons who are going into the advanced painting classes were asked to give up their classes so that "beginners" could have a chance. The advanced group now finds itself meeting once a week at the West Yarmouth Community Building, because they begged not to be disbanded. These classes held a very successful Art Exhibit and Sale in the Fishermen's House of the Methodist Church two weeks before Christmas. Two very successful courses in Defensive Driving were held, one of 25 in the Center before fall classes began and one of 36 in the Yarmouth Town Hall. We are scheduling another class to be held in the Town Hall in May 1970. A request by 14 persons, with hearing problems, for a class in Lip Reading is being arranged. We have a qualified teacher and we are now endeavor- ing to secure money from the State Education Department or from a Service Organization to pay for such a course. The Council members are grateful to Mrs. Thomas C. Eayrs, Jr., for the competent way she is handling the bus trips to Boston and other places of interest. As a result of her efforts, there is never any confusion. Each person is assigned a seat on the bus and, in case of an emergency, Mrs. Eayrs is taking the added re- sponsibility of accounting for each Senior Citizen on the trip. This gives added assurance to each person making these trips and everyone is thankful to know that someone is "in charge." Arrangements were made to have a representative of Blue Cross -Blue Shield and related plans, to come to the Center once a month, to help persons with problems. Appointments are sche- duled in advance and are filled several weeks before the date of his appearance. The D -Y Service Office receives many calls of varying kinds from Senior Citizens for advice and help. They now know they have some one to turn to in an emergency and they are treated . with courtesy and consideration. Petitions requesting that the ceiling be removed from the amount a person between the ages of 65 and 72 can earn without penalty to his Social Security check, were circulated Cape -wide by the Council members. More than 1000 signatures were obtained on each petition mailed to Senators Brooke and Kennedy and Representative Hastings Keith. We are pleased to say that Senator Brooke has written stating he would introduce the necessary legis- lation to do away with this inequity. The Chairmen of both the Dennis and Yarmouth Councils on Aging, acted as consultants to the University of Rhode Island in their production of five films examining the problems of the elder- ly. These films have just been released for viewing and are de- signed to provide information to the elderly to assist them in solv- ing retirement problems, and to help make their post-retirement years more productive and meaningful. The films will be made 79 available regionally for distribution to educational and commercial television stations, civic and service organizations. Eventually, the audience for the films is expected to be about 100,000 persons. We wish to thank the Selectmen and our faithful volunteers for their co-operation. Without their loyal help we could not function successfully. Respectfully submitted, Dorothy M. Schoonmaker, Chairman Yarmouth Council on Aging REPORT OF THE 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 December 31, 1969. Clams are not in great abundance. Late Spring, we had a high mortality rate in different parts of Town. Working with State Biologists, testing soil, etc., we find no apparent reason for this, as yet. We still have these areas under surveillance. It is hoped we can do some transplanting from two heavily seeded, slow grow- ing areas into more suitable areas. The north side is showing a slow but steady increase. Quahogs are in good shape. The three-year plan of alternat- ing the three key areas has worked out well. It is hoped that in the future these areas will become self -seeding. There were five hundred -fifty bushels planted this year (some of which have gone into the development of new areas). Oyster projects are gaining. However, the project is slow and requires much handling and many man-hours. We continued with the "raft system" of growing the oyster seed. It is then trans- planted into areas where we hope to make future self -seeding growth. We have had considerable losses, due to the human predator. We lost some of the oyster project advancement when we put culch bags in out of town areas, to collect oyster spat. They had become non-productive. Oyster seed is going to be difficult to obtain this year, due to the low volume available from our num- ber one supplier. Scallops in the 1969 season were very good and show a fine large -seed volume for next year. It is hoped that we can move some of the scallop seed to develop other areas. We are planning to use a nylon -mesh type scallop bag in 1970. This is better for inspection and is more durable. 80 The Predator Control Program will continue, with better re- sults each year. PERMITS ISSUED IN 1969: Family Permits 1,418 @ $ 1.00 Each $1,418.00 Non -Resident Family Permits 200 @ $ 2.00 Each $ 400.00 Commercial Permits 30 @ $20.00 Each $ 600.00 TOTAL PERMITS ISSUED : 1,648 $2,418.00 I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, State Department, Town Departments, and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth for their cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Morris I. Johnson, Jr. Shellfish Constable REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT The year 1969 has been one of many changes. Mr. William B. Letteney resigned as Park Superintendent and Commissioner. This left Mr. W. Richard Philbrook who has had only one year's experience as a Park Commissioner. Mr. Richard T. Welch was elected a Park Commissioner for three years. At the Annual Town Meeting it was voted to increase the num- ber of Park Commissioners from three to five so Mr. Barry Homer and Mr. David Wood were appointed by the Selectmen to fill the new positions. Mr. James J. Connell was appointed to fill the un- expired term of Mr. Letteney's. Mr. William S. Howard was appointed Park Superintendent and he assumed his duties April 7, 1969 with instructions to make things happen. I first made a survey of all the Town Beaches and Parks in- cluding buildings and equipment and found that they had all been sadly neglected. There was a great lack of equipment and tools and no personnel to do the work. During April school vacation I was able to obtain the services of six boys and assigned them the task of raking seaweed on the beaches and working on the various park areas to try to get them into shape before May 30th. The boys also worked afternoons after school and on Saturdays. 81 The blacktop over the drain at Bass River Beach collapsed and we had to engage a derrick to excavate and then cement a portion of the drain. The balance of the drain should be done in 1970 and the blacktop replaced. During the high winds in the spring we lost two of the fans on the Wind Mill and the hub slipped out of place. All this had to be. replaced and while working there we found that termites had attacked the building. An exterminator was called in and we hope that the termites are now gone. However, the building has been weakened and we should in the near future spend about $20,000 restoring and replacing parts of the Wind Mill. During the year we did the best we could with four boys to take care of all the areas under our control. It was a difficult task because when the beaches opened it took the four boys at least five hours each day to pick up and police the beaches on the south side of town and some days it required six and seven hours. There- fore the areas on the north side suffered. We painted and repaired as many of the buildings and as much of the equipment as we had time and funds. The Park Department spent $55,442.60 of its budget of $55,- 450.00 for 1969 Receipts from the sale of Beach Stickers totaled $36,783.00 The net cost of the Park Department to the Taxpayers was only $18,659.60 Vandalism has been rampant this year and has cost the Town a great deal of money and man hours which otherwise could have been used to improve our facilities.

William S. Howard Park Superintendent. W. Richard Philbrook, Park Commission Chairman Richard T. Welch, Park Commission Vice Chairman Barry Homer, Park Commissioner David Wood, Park Commissioner James J. Connell, Park Commissioner REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH DRUG STUDY COMMITTEE The Yarmouth Drug Study Committee was authorized by vote of the 1969 Town Meeting. The Committee has met on a biweek- ly basis since its inception. This is a summary of the committee's work during the past year. A more detailed report with our recom- mendations will be provided separately. The committee chose to focus its study on the problem of drug use among young people of high school and junior high school age (grades 7-12). The committee enlisted the aid of the Drug Addic- tion Rehabilitation Board of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts 83 to formulate a questionnaire to be administered to a random sampling of these young people. We received complete coopera- tion from the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee and school officials. The Yarmouth School Committee was approached on three different occasions, each time declining to allow these youngsters to be included in our study at that time. We feel this has been a serious handicap to our study. Out of necessity we had to proceed with a study of the highschool students only. On October 8, 1969, a research team from the Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Board administered 'a comprehensive questionnaire to 260 students at the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School, a random sample of the total population, or slightly under 25% .of the student body. The questions dealt with numerous areas of concern such as different types of drugs used and frequency of use ; vandalism ; stealing ; alcohol use ; etc. The results of the questionnaire were coded by trained personnel and analyzed by computor to afford us accurate information on drug use and other problems. In addition to the questionnaire portion of the study, the re- search team from Boston conducted a survey consisting of com- prehensive interviews with numerous doctors, ministers, school per- sonnel, social service agencies, police and others who come into contact with our young people. The data suggests that slightly over one in four of our high school students have used drugs, many of them more than once. It also indicates that high school drug users are twice as frequently involved in stealing, vandalism, intoxication and shoplifting. Our findings indicate that we do have a problem about which we should be concerned. In this year of operation, the committee chose to study the youth of our Town, but realizes the problem extends beyond this segment of the population. It is our belief that every citizen should be concerned about drug abuse and meet the problem realistically, with intelligence and in a cooperative effort. Respectfully submitted, Clayton W. Beless, Chairman J. Tracy Wiggin, Vice Chairman Pearl B. Wolfson, Secretary The Reverend James L. Nelson John A. Malloy Bernard J. Boudreau Allen Thatcher Schauwecker 84 IMPROVEMENT AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE REPORT Rhododendron bushes were planted at the intersection of Wood Road and Route 28 across from the Town Hall in the spring, and this fall the Park Department planted bulbs there for us so we hope for a bit of color in the spring of 1970. A window box filled with geraniums. ageratum, and vinca was inserted in the old watering trough at the Mall in South Yarmouth, and geraniums and vinca were planted at the Baxter Mill by the wheel in the park- ing lot. The Camp Fire Girls of South Yarmouth planted bulbs at the Indian Memorial Mound and have offered to take care of the planting at the Mall in 1970. The old yews at Carroll de Silver were removed and new evergreens replaced them. The Park De- partment planted the annuals there for us this year and also at Baker Memorial. The Park Superintendent has been most cooperative this year and has also secured cooperation from other town departments which is to be commended. We do regret the neglected appear- ance of our so-called islands for a period at the end of the summer season due to the loss of summer help by the Park Department before fall replacements could be secured. We do not expect this to happen again. The Highway Department deserves an acknowledgment for litter pick-up on our highways, and the many private citizens who help in this regard and in plantings of their own to enhance the attractiveness of our roadsides. As the last project of the year we undertook the cleaning up of the brush, trimming of trees, and general pick-up of the West Yarmouth Fire Department and Community Building grounds. We should take pride in all our town -owned property and indicate this by proper care and maintenance of the surroundings. Our accomplishments are small but with the tremendous im- provement in appearance of many areas by the Park Department on their own, we feel we are progressing, and we hope you will agree and continue to support us.

Tallman 85 REPORT OF THE VETERANS' AGENT District Board : Carl Hiler, Sandwich, Chairman George Cross, Barnstable Kevin O'Connell, Mashpee H. Raymond Darling, Yarmouth Kirkwood Brown, Dennis Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth : Gentlemen : This is my Eleventh Report as Veterans' Agent and Director for our District Department of Veterans' Services. There have been many veterans of the Vietnam era who have availed themselves of the services of this office. It has been grati- fying to see how many of these veterans returning to our community are taking advantage of the GI bill on educational benefits. Also, many are availing themselves of the other benefits of the so-called GI Bill, such as compensation and the GI loan for homes. By the way, the interest rate on the VA loan has just been increased from 71/2% to 81/2%. We are also giving an expanded amount of services to our World War I veterans, namely in helping them with their VA ques- tionnaires and also assisting them in being admitted to VA facili- ties when needed. We are still fortunate in having the Veterans Administration Regional Office representatives from Providence, Rhode Island, visit our office once a month on the 2nd Thursday between 9:30 and 1:30.

The Commission has completed several noteworthy study programs and are as follows : 1. A Master Summary Chart has been developed showing the ten regional land use categories by acreage. 2. An initial comprehensive housing inventory has been pre- pared and approved by the Mass. Department of Community Af- fairs. 3. A study of existing zoning by-laws and subdivision regu- lations was undertaken and compiled in master chart form for a comparative analysis report. 4. A survey of publicly owned fresh water beaches started in the summer of 1968 has been completed. 5. A residential population study by towns covering the years 1960 thru 1968 was completed and published as Working Paper #5- 6. A general. overall inventory of the Cape's existing trans- portation system was completed and published as Working Paper #6, Parts I and II. 7. The Commission thru its consultants completed an inven- tory of existing solid waste disposal facilities and published a report entitled The Regional Public Facilities of Cape Cod, Part I, Regional Public Facilities. Simultaneously, the Commission encouraged the Towns to join and form the Barnstable County Regional Refuse Disposal Planning Board. To date, 12 towns have joined and it is hoped that the remaining three will join in the future. This is Working Paper #7. 8. The Commission provided technical assistance and guid- ance to the Dennis Historical Society in a survey which produced a detailed inventory of more than 200 individual structures and sites. Material gathered included 40 slides which have been utiliz- ed in presentations to historic associations in other towns in hopes of inspiring similar interest. 89 9. Two memos have been published to date exploring vari- ous aspects of building construction on Cape Cod. 10. Grant Application Assistance has been rendered to both Bourne and Mashpee. An important phase of the CCPEDC is en- couraging and assisting town planning efforts on Cape Cod. Commissioners : Thomas E. Kelley Executive Committee James W. Robertson REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH HOUSING AUTHORITY JANUARY 7, 1970 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Massachusetts Julian D. Steele, Commissioner Dept. of Community Affairs 100 Cambridge Street Boston, Massachusetts 02202 Mr. Thaddeus Buczko, State Auditor State House Boston, Massachusetts The Yarmouth Housing Authority is pleased to report that in the calendar year 1969, we progressed our initial major mainten- ance program. It consisted of waterproofing, with silicone, eight outside brick end walls of tenant buildings and scraping and paint- ing:five inside hall walls in tenant buildings that were damaged by water. The fire alarm system, formerly operated by five wet -cell storage batteries, was converted to a module system eliminating the maintenance and replacement of storage batteries. A total of four apartments were completely refurbished. Our contemplated maintenance program includes refinishing floors in the Community 90 building including the office ; refinishing stairs and floors in eight halls of tenant buildings and painting the outside sidewalls and trim of four tenant buildings and the Community building. The Housing Project consisting of 40 units has been fully occupied for the entire year and there are on file approximately seventeen applications for future admissions from Yarmouth resi- dents. 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 average monthly rent, in- cluding heat, electricity and water is $57.00. A financial statement of operation as of December 31, 1969 is : Income including State Aid $39,214.67 Expense 35,102.13 $ 4,112.54 Respectfully submitted, Howard A. Spurr, Chairman Spear T. Holway Hervey L. Small James H. Brown Peter G. Homer GOLF COURSE COMMITTEE'S REPORT, The Bass River Golf Course in 1969 topped all previous income records with a gross of $152,002. This compares with $121,106 in 1968 and $92,205 in 1967. This jump in income reflected increased guest play on a day basis, increased memberships, and increased use of rental golf carts. It should be explained that this year's total income included $9,226 that was returned by the Town to the cart leasing agency. This tremendous spurt in the use of our course contributed to serious maintenance problems. It is our intention and expectation that the course will be back in A-1 shape by May of 1970: To this 91 end our operating budget for the new year indicates additional spending for course upkeep. Another problem of major importance concerns personnel. Several vacancies developed during the year. We expect these positions will all be satisfactorily filled by early Spring. Your Committee would like to say "Thank You" to our staff and to our members for their help during a very busy and difficult year. With 577 members, not to mention day guests, we have had our hands full. The co-operation between employees and members has been outstanding and has contributed greatly to the success of our operation. COMMISSIONERS : Nye Crowell, Chairman Lloyd L. Simmons, Secretary Charles J. Ardito H. Freeman Cash Kittredge B. Holmes REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES December 31, 1969 Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth, South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen : For the year of 1969 just ended, this department made ap- proximately 1574 electrical inspections. About 750 hours are spent in the office annually advising the home -owner who wishes to do his own electrical work, and dis- cussing the jobs and problems of the local electricians, discussing the interpretations of the National Code, and other related matters. Respectfully submitted, Edmund Fruean, Jr. Inspector of Wires 92 REPORT OF THE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE To : The Board of Selectmen Yarmouth Town Office South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen : Another year has passed and time again for another report. Time goes by and this past year has, as is the case with previous years, been a busy one. Regular monthly meetings and always working toward the betterment of Sports and Recreational facilities. Again we repeat, we welcome your use of the West Yarmouth Community building. Give us a call and arrangements can be made. We do however reserve the right to make the decision as to whether or not we should restrict the use. As a spectator and financially, we support, and urge your sup- port of all sports programs throughout the town. Respectfully submitted Richard T. Welch, Chairman Merrill Wilson, Secretary Raymond Mello Jack Silver Richard Johnson Freeman Cash Warren Geoffrion YARMOUTH TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S REPORT From the driver 's point of view the "Buck Island Road" is complete. There are some minor finishing touches and adjustments required all of which will be ironed out before long. The Town of Barnstable has made no move to connect to our road. On this score there is nothing we can do but wait. Our 93 original plan was endorsed by their Selectmen and was subscribed to by their Traffic Committee. Further, the County Commissioners and the Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commit- tee expressed their approval. Generally we received excellent cooperation from those in- volved in the Buck Island Road taking and road construction. The Massachusetts Department of Public Works did their part ex- cellently. We thank those who helped, cooperated, and offered encouragement. This was Yarmouth's first step toward the integrated road network your Traffic Committee originally proposed arid which the Town approved. We hope, by the time this report reaches you a hearing will have been held and "Step 2" leading to the construction of Forest Road between Winslow Gray Road and Old Town House Road will be in process. Hopefully, this road can be built in portions under the supervision of the Yarmouth High- way Department with some outside contracting. We will, in the meantime, start the planning necessary for "Step 3." Old Town House Road from North Main Street to Wil- low Street. This road, we hope, can be built under another State administered contract. At regular ,meetings the Committee considered many items in addition to those discussed here. Some will eventually come before you. The members have continued faithful in attendance. Regret- fully we accepted the resignation of Mr. Ted Simcoe who moved out of Town. Mr. Harry Woods of Yarmouth was appointed to fill this vacancy. We cannot conclude our report without thanking the Select- men and the other Town Departments who have been so coopera- tive. Particularly we wish to call attention to the faithful attend- ance of the Town Engineer at our meetings. Without his par- ticipation, the material, and the information from the Engineering Staff your Traffic Committee would have accomplished nothing. We welcome any recommendations and suggestions. Respectfully, Yarmouth Traffic Committee 94 YARMOUTH POLICE DEPARTMENT'S REPORT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the 'Town of Yarmouth. Submitted herewith is the Report of the Activities and the Report of Arrests of the Police Department for the year 1969. The anticipated budget for the Police Department for the year 1970 is $317,545.00. This figure represents an increase of $66,- 099.00 over last year's appropriation for the department. This will further affect the tax rate of the Town to the tune of approxi- mately one dollar and fifty cents per thousand evaluation. Where this amount would affect your taxes to this extent I feel it is necessary to acquaint you with some of the facts imme- diately related to the budget increase. First, we are hoping to hire three more police officers. These men would be assigned to the several night shifts as this is where, the action is. Ninety percent of the breaks (both business and house) occur during the hours of darkness. As a matter of fact, the majority of criminal activity moves during these. hours. By increasing our patrol factor we hope to decrease the incidence of crime, feeling that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Second, we anticipate the hiring of a full-time dog officer. His duty will be to enforce the so-called "Leash Law". He will further be required to see that all dogs are licensed. He will an- swer any and all complaints (of which there is a multitude) rela- tive to dogs and other domestic animals. His appointment will relieve the police of a chore for which they are neither equipped nor have the time for. Third, a proposed "cost -of -living" increase of five percent for town employees naturally affects our overall budget. Further, the Personnel Board is recommending that time -and -one-half be paid to full time officers for emergency overtime work performed. This, again, increases our dollar requirement. These three areas represent the bulk of the $66,099.00 jump over the year 1968. Our Operational Budget is only slightly higher than that of last year. The increase in this area is due mainly to the higher cost of materials and labor. There are four Special Articles sponsored by the Department. These Articles do no reflect in the Department's general budget. They consist of : 1) . The purchase of four new cruiser vehicles including one emergency vehicle (station wagon) and three sedans, 95 one of which will be unmarked for use in investigations. Three 1969 wagons will be traded or otherwise disposed of with the best interest of the Town being a major consideration in their disposal. This will give us a "fleet" of five patrol vehicles. 2). Again, this year, we have an article requesting the appropriation of $7,000.00 for maintaining a Narcotics Division within the Police Department. A similar amount was asked for and received last year and was expended before the summer sea- son left us. From August through December the Division was forced to ask for county funds in order to function. The initial setting up of this division was found to be costly and chewed up approximately half of the appropriation. This year we will not be faced with that problem. The Division is solidly established, is ex- tremely functional and has contributed immeasurably to the con- trol of the narcotics problem in the town. Unfortunately it falls far short of the ultimate solution to the drug and narcotic situation as it now exists in our schools and an unhealthy proportion of our adult population. 3). The request for $2,000.00 for the maintenance of the office of Dog Officer and the Boarding of Dogs is substantially less than the request of last year. This amount goes towards the expense of housing stray and unlicensed dogs as well as furnishing the equipment necessary in the corraling of stray canines. 4). The furnishing, replacing, and repair of uniforms is a joint article sponsored by both Police and Fire Departments. For the past ten years (or more) each officer has been allotted one hundred dollars (theoretically) for the purchase of and repair of uniforms. It has been found that the price of uniforms has nearly doubled during this decade. This year we propose to increase the amount per man to $150.00. More often than not both policemen and firemen find themselves in close proximity to factors that are not conducive to keeping one's clothes on one's back in one piece. In conclusion we. of the Police Department, sincerely thank you, the citizens of the Town of Yarmouth, for your support in the past and fervently hope such support will continue in the future. The ideology of "non-involvement" that is all too apparent in our society is, fortunately. not a component of our community. Your involvement in police matters is more than welcome and we earnestly encourage you to familiarize yourselves with the opera- tion of your police department. Respectfully, Theodore P. Reynolds Chief of Police 96 POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1969 Total number of arrests 2302 Number of arrests, juvenile male 108 Number of arrests, juvenile female 49 Number of complaints processed 863 Number of motor vehicle accidents 506 Number of persons injured in M.V. accidents 222 Number of persons killed in M.V. accidents 1 Number of auto vs. pedestrian accidents 4 Drownings 2 Emergency runs by cruiser -ambulances (excluding M.V. accidents) 645 Value of property reported lost (or) stolen $78,765.28 Value of property recovered $92,117.88 Suicides & attempted suicides 8 Natural & accidental deaths investigated 32 Dog bites reported and investigated 104 Radio & telephone calls handled 72,749 Miles travelled by department cruisers 358,542 Motor vehicle violations handled 1527 Arrests on motor vehicle violations 187 Complaints on motor vehicle violations 1228 Violations reports to Registry of Motor Vehicles, warning 112 Pistol Permits issued 196 Firearms I.D. cards issued 264 Bicycle registrations issued 40 Money turned into town $1,260.00 POLICE PATROL BOATS ACTIVITIES Boats towed to safety 172 Boats assisted on waters of the town 92 Persons rescued from the water 39 Motor boat violations to Registry of Motorboats 119 Verbal warnings given to motorboat operators 175 Boats lost or stolen 8 Boats recovered 10 ARRESTS BREAKDOWN (Other than Motor Vehicle) Assault with dangerous weapon 4 Assault and battery 16 Assault and battery on police officer 1 Breaking and entering, daytime, misdemeanor 12.

Our Library entertained, on Sep- tember 18, 1969, Round -Table I, group 2. From sharing problems we gained information and inspiration. Included in our budget for 1970 is the purchase of a record player and money to be allocated to making available, through some slight structural changes, an area where our gift records may be played. There will be, too, a Browser Tray from which records may be selected and borrowed. The Copier machine, purchased last year, has proved invalu- able for our own use. We have made copies for students and for genealogical researchers. They have greatly appreciated this ser- vice. National Library week was observed in April. We held open house on Sunday, April 20th, with a large attendance. During the week there were exhibits of food and of flower arrangements. There were also on display Mr. Howard Ferguson's stamp collection and Cape Cod books, old and new. On Wednesday night coffee was served before an open fire. On Saturday morning, for the children, a puppet show was pre- sented by the talented Mrs. Jerome Wyeth. Miss Ruth S. Fielden and Miss Bertha L. Cain deserve great credit for a most successful week. The Saturday morning children's hour, with the showing of films or the reading of stories, is enthusiastically received by many children. Of particular interest was a play presented by Nancy Thome and Stacey Marchant. Parties are given on Holidays. These are financially supported by the Friends of the Yarmouth Library. At Christmas time, through the generosity of friends, we were able to enjoy the Mimsy puppets again with Mrs. Wyeth. Adults, as well as children, enjoyed this performance. 101 The meetings of the Friends of the Yarmouth Library, ef- ficiently presided over by the President, Mr. Warren Prescott, have been unusually well attended this past year. Two successful bene- fits, a food sale and auction held in September and a Christmas tea held in December, were sponsored, under the leadership of Miss Frances Dinneen, our able chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means. We are indebted to Mrs. Paul F. Paige for opening her beauti- fully decorated home for the Christmas tea and to Miss Frances Dinneen for the time which she has given to both financially and socially rewarding affairs. We are grateful to the other members of the Board of Trus- tees, to Mrs. Arthur Mills Smith, assistant librarian, to the Girl Scouts who have assisted on Saturday mornings, to the many who have given books and money, to the Selectmen and to the members of the Finance Committee. The cooperation, generosity and un- derstanding of all of these people have made 1969 a progressive and hopeful year at the Yarmouth Library. Respectfully submitted, Carl H. Bussey, President Martha U. White, Librarian Yarmouth Library Association Yarmouth Port, Mass. January 4, 1970 REPORT OF THE WEST YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Board of Selectmen West Yarmouth, Massachusetts The year 1969 shows another considerable increase in circula- tion, association membership and patrons. Once again, as in past years, many new volumes of fiction, non-fiction and reference books have been added to our shelves. We were very fortunate to receive from the Lions Club a con- siderable donation to purchase Large Print Books. It is -hoped that these volumes will increase the reading pleasure of our patrons. 102 Our Library is still supplying books to the South Yarmouth Elderly Housing. This year marked the passing of Mrs. Martha Lahiff who had been a member of our Board of Trustees for many years. She was a valued trustee and we will miss her. Our summer Coffee Hour featured Mrs. Margaret A. Stanger who wrote "That Quail, Robert". The meeting attracted a large number of people and was considered an excellent way to acquaint our year round and summer residents with our facilities. To all our volunteers and especially Mrs. George Beck a sin- cere Thank you. The Trustees and I wish to express our appreciation to all who use our facilities. Their patience and support has contributed to the smooth operation of our library. We thank the Selectmen and the taxpayers for their interest and cooperation. We invite all interested persons to visit our West Yarmouth Library. Respectfully submitted Eleanor E. Finn Librarian REPORT OF THE SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION To the Board of Selectmen : Once again, I am pleased to submit the following report for the year 1969: VOLUMES : December 31, 1968 13,339 Books added 1969 564 13,903 Books lost and discarded 1969 168 TOTAL - December 31, 1969 13,735 103 CIRCULATION : Number of clays open New members Adult Juvenile Periodicals Total 25,146 5,836 1,259 32,241 252 323 1969 marked the 100th anniversary of the South Yarmouth Library Association. This was celebrated by an open house on August 17th. 1969 also marked the completion of our new wing which houses an office and workroom and an additional room for the Children's Department. A large part of the money for this new construction came from the bequest of Hattie M. Crowell, who left the money to the Library Association in memory of her parents. Because of Miss Crowell's thoughtfulness, our floor space is greatly enlarged and with the addition of the much needed office and workroom, we feel that we now have an attractive, efficient library. We have installed an electric charging machine and find this a big help. It provides a much more accurate record of borrowers names and addresses, and speeds up the sending of overdue notices, to say nothing of the actual charging of books and periodicals. Our Saturday hours have been changed from 10-12 and 2-5 to 10-3. This change has worked out very well and will be per- manent. I have attended six meetings during the year as the represen- tative of the South Yarmouth Library. They were the mid -winter meeting of the Massachusetts Library Association in Boston on Feb- ruary 13th ; the annual meeting of this association at Chicopee May 15 and 16 ; the American Library Association national con- ference at Atlantic City, New Jersey June 22nd through the 26th ; the New England Library Association meeting at Portsmouth, New Hampshire October 8th through 11th ; the Cape Cod Library Club meeting at the Centerville Public Library on October 23rd and the mid -winter meeting of the Massachusetts Library Association which was moved up from February when it is usually held to December 16th in the hopes of avoiding the blizzards which we usually encounter. I have also attended various area meetings and feel that these are important and worthwhile in our efforts to give better service to the community. We have taken advantage of the services offered by the East- ern Regional Library System and are more than pleased with the results. We have borrowed 67 books from the Falmouth and Bos- ton Public LilWaries during 1969. This interlibrary loan service enables us to fill requests for materials we do not own and elim- inates the necessity of purchasing hooks that we might not have other calls for. 104 We wish to thank all of our friends for their many kindnesses and their generosity with gifts of books, money and their time to keep our grounds and gardens neat and attractive. To everyone connected with our library in any way, our sincere thanks for your continued interest and support. Repectfully submitted, Mrs. Virginia M. Osborn Librarian January 1970 WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1969. Present number of active services 7091 Services installed during 1969 692 Gallons of water pumped 599,375,255 The continuing growth of the Town in 1969 is demonstrated by the installation of 692 service connections, an all time high. Water Department revenue was $379,682, an increase of $61,316 over 1968. This last year was undoubtedly one of the greatest expansion years in the history of the Department. In addition to the great number of service connections installed, approximately 10 miles of mains were laid in private developments and along roads taken by the Town. Almost 16 miles of mains were laid along major arteries under the bond issue of 1968. Included with the mains were the installation of 225 new hydrants. With only one or two exceptions, all major roads in the town are now serviced by mains and water is available in all developed and developing areas. Three new gravel -packed wells were constructed in 1969. The pumping stations for these wells are now under construction and it is hoped that these units will be in use by the summer of 1970. The engineering work has been completed and two parcels of land in West Yarmouth to be used for future wellfields are expected to be acquired shortly. 105 During the Fall of 1969 tests have been conducted at eight locations for suitable sites for future wells. While all of them were not promising, two areas seem to be worthy of consideration and after further evaluation they will probably be recommended to the town for acquisition. This work is of paramount importance since suitable areas are fast becoming scarce as the town develops and land costs continue to increase. The maintenance and operation budget for the department in 1970 is approximately 10% higher than 1969, and mostly reflects increases in salaries and wages. Department revenue increased $61,316, or 19%. The Swan Lake area has been of great concern to the Com- missioners during the last few years. Conditions in the area were unsatisfactory from a water supply standpoint and were deteriorat- ing rapidly. We are pleased to report that through the use of funds appropriated at the 1969 Town Meeting together with construction under the 1968 Bond issue, this area has now been largely supplied with mains. The balance of the work should be completed in 1970. With the acceptance of new Planning Board regulations requiring the installation of water mains in new developments and more stringent building permit requirements, it is hoped that similar conditions will be prevented in the future. The Water Commissioners look forward, in 1970, with eager anticipation. We now have one of the most competent staffs in Southeastern Massachusetts under the direction of Superintend- ent, T. Benton Pulsifer. We have one of the finest water systems in the State with an adequate water supply and a balanced dis- tribution network. With continued financial backing from the townspeople at town meetings, our Department will continue to rate as a leader on Cape Cod. Board of Water Commissioners Frederick J. Thacher Roger G. Edwards Jr. Thomas E. Kelley BUILDING INSPECTOR'S REPORT Submitted herewith is the Annual Report of the Building Inspector. During the year a total of 750 Building Permits, for construc- tion estimated to cost $10,603,384 were issued from this office. These permits include all new dwellings, commercial buildings, 106 garages, accessory buildings and alterations. This is 102 more than were issued in 1968. Of the 750 Building Permits issued 517 were for new dwellings both single and duplex. Fees collected and paid to the Town Treasurer for Building Permits were $3,824.00. Respectfully submitted, Alexander Catto Building Inspector REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN and MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth : Shade Tree Department In the year 1969 seventy-eight trees were planted along the roadways within the town. This number included twenty-six flow- ering trees and fifty-two shade trees, which were all staked and guyed for protection, until a good root growth is established. These new trees, as well as some of the trees planted in the last few years, were all fertilized. Due to a blight which hit many of the Sugar Maple trees on the Cape this year, our department had to remove ten in this town, that were lost to the blight, in the fall. Some of these have been replaced and others will be replaced in the Spring. The town trees were pruned and cared for as usual during the Winter months. Dutch Elm Department Twelve samples of Elm trees were taken within the town, and sent to the Shade Tree Laboratory at the University of Massachu- setts, and two were found to have Dutch Elm Disease and were removed. Both of these Elms were on the North side, one on Summer Street, and one on Center Street. The tree on Summer was replaced with a Linden tree, but it was not advisable to replace the tree on Center Street, due to the already over crowded foliage in the area where the Elm was removed. 107 The dormant spraying of the Elm Trees was done as usual, in April, by helicopter. They were sprayed with methoxchlor, which is the only material recommended for Elm Bark Beetle control, and is one of the safest insecticides. The foliage spraying of the Elm trees was done at four week intervals from May to September. Elm trees that were in need of pruning because of dead wood, and low branches, were cleaned up during the Winter months. Insect Pest Control In 1969 the Nantucket Pine Tip Moth continued to be a big problem for this department on the South side of the Cape. Spray- ing for this pest was carried on at the time recommended by ento- mologist Clifford Chater of the Waltham Field Station of the University of Massachusetts who worked with me on the problem, along with Oscar Johnson of the Cape Cod Extension Service, in trying to eradicate this pest. The insecticide recommended for spraying the native pitch pines was Sevin, which we used. In June, July, and August, how- ever, Mr. Chater and I marked off certain areas which had been infested, and used different insecticides to see if something more effective could be found. In October, a meeting was held at the Yarmouth Town office to which all moth superintendents on the Cape were invited to see slides shown by Mr. Chater taken during the different stages of the moth cycle. It was discovered that in areas where we used a new systemic insecticide known as Dimetho- ate (the trade name is Cygon) the best results were shown. The town roadways will be sprayed with Cygon this Spring reaching as far from the road as possible, but homeowners who wish to save the pines in their back yards should take steps to try to save them. Pamphlets are available from Oscar Johnson at the Cape Cod Extension Service to help advise homeowners save their private trees from the Pine Tip Moth. An outbreak of Gypsy Moth has been discovered in the Camp Greenough area. This will be sprayed in the Spring. The poison ivy sprayer was in almost constant use during the sumer of 1969, with more areas covered than ever. This included roadside poison ivy and beach and park areas.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the School Committee of Yarmouth : I herewith submit my twenty-fourth annual school report and the seventy-eighth report in the series of school reports of the Union Superintendent of Schools in Dennis and Yarmouth. BUSINESS MANAGER — Mr. Harland P. Sisk resigned, November 14, and Mr. George Flanagan was appointed to succeed him. MIDDLE SCHOOL — Classes opened at the Middle School, September 15, 1969. The excellent facilities at this building will enable the teachers and administration to offer more and exciting learning experiences at this level. Plans are being formulated for an open house program when weather conditions should be more stable. 138 NEW SPACE — The School Department still lacks space for the proper care of our Exceptional Children. The John Simpkins Building now houses the fifth grade and one half of the fourth grade and is now operating at near capacity. Thought should be given to the addition of 20 more ele- mentary rooms at the South Yarmouth Elementary School. NO SCHOOL SIGNAL — The Yarmouth School Committee will close school only in cases of extreme weather conditions. Parents are urged to exer- cise their personal judgment as to the wisdom of sending their children to school during a period of inclement weather. 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. 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 Regional High School, Mattacheese Middle School, and the Office of the Superintendent of Schools, John Simpkins School, Bass River, and personal application must be made by the student, and evidence of date of birth must be presented. I wish to call the attention of the reader to the following re- ports, submitted by members of the Yarmouth School staff, giving more detailed information regarding the school program. Respectfully submitted, Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools REPORT OF THE BUSINESS MANAGER The position of Business Manager was filled by Mr. Harland P. Sisk until his resignation effective November 14, 1969. I was appointed to fill the position at that time. 139 During the 1969 school year a major renovation project was completed at the John Simpkins School. This involved moderniza- tion of the locker rooms, lavatories, and the carpeting of the class room floors. At the South Yarmouth Elementary School a project to weather proof the east side of the building and the bell tower has brought about a significant improvement in the habitability of the building. In the short period of time that I have held the position of Business Manager, I have received outstanding assistance, co- operation, and encouragement from the School Committee, the Superintendent and his staff, the Principals and all of the other personnel of the Yarmouth school system. This spirit of coopera- tion is gratefully acknowledged.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : I am pleased to submit to you my report as principal of the West Yarmouth Elementary School. With the placement of all fifth grade pupils in the John Simp- kins Building, we now have a grade range of kindergarten through grade four. Although the fifth grade boys and girls are missed, we find the present grouping a happy situation since pupils of the first four grades work well together and respond to similar interests. There are, at present 651 pupils assigned to the West Yarmouth Elementary School, which number includes the two sessions of kindergarten. There are four kindergarten rooms and four teach- ers. Three teachers' aides, Mrs. Barbara Coulter, Mrs. Dorothy Culley and Mrs. Lydia Ellis ride the kindergarten buses and assist in the classrooms. However, with 113 pupils attending in one ses- sion, it is obvious that the kindergarten classes are too large to carry on the type of individualized instruction which is best for boys and girls of this age.. While large classes are most noticeable in kindergarten and grade one, it is unfortunately true that class size in all grades has increased. It was necessary this last fall to establish a fifth class- room for the third grade. Because of lack of classroom space, these boys and girls have, for the past two years, been working in groups so large that needed individual help could not be given. For the purpose of school bookkeeping, pupils are placed in grades of similar age groups. However, our aim is to keep these groups very fluid. In this way a pupil may work outside his as- signed grade -group in those subjects in which he has special abili- ties or in which he needs special help. This type of Iearning gives each pupil an opportunity to learn at his own rate. However, in this type of grouping it is particularly important that group size be kept small. In line with this grouping, we have hoped this year to rely less on report cards as means of reporting a pupil's progress and more on parent conferences. Conferences between parent and teacher can establish that rapport which makes for a happy learn- ing situation for each child. Both teachers and administrators have appreciated the cooperation shown by parents. 146 An opportunity to participate in learning situations adjusted to the individual child was given to both pupils and teachers during the summer program. Under Title I of Public Law 89-10, the Yar- mouth School Department received a grant of $23090.00 to op- erate a summer program for 130 disadvantaged pupils. With Mr. Osborne Bearse as director, this program was carried on in a way which proved enjoyable to pupils, teachers and administrators. Particular emphasis was given to help for those pupils with learn- ing disabilities. Tests, administered before the opening of the summer session, conferences of teachers and pupils and parent interviews helped to pinpoint the particular needs of each child. Development for each pupil was planned in the following areas : 1. Growth in subject background accomplished by tutoring or specialized instruction. 2. Growth in intellectual curiosity, a desire to discover and to find learning exciting. 3. Physical development accomplished by the acquiring of good health habits. Lastly : through the first three steps, growth in emotional stability, and in adjustment. Discovering those children who have learning disabilities and adjusting lessons to their needs is a vital part not only of the sum- mer program but of all our teaching plans. Miss Kalliope Garou- fes, Reading and English Supervisor, has been instrumental in locating these pupils and in forming a correctional program in the field of language arts. Beginning with kindergarten pupils,. tests of visual and auditory discrimination have been administered with the intention of identifying the means by which each pupil will learn best. These tests also assist in the early identification of a child with potential learning disabilities. These children are given training to fit their specific deficit. Through the cooperation of teachers of reading in grades one through four, further help is given to those pupils whose work indicates the need of specialized training. The teaching of reading in West Yarmouth Elementary School is divided into two approaches, the linguistic approach and the meaning approach. The linguistic approach places emphasis on the process rather than the content of reading with the decoding of alphabetic symbols the most important task for the beginning reader. The meaning approach places emphasis on content and understanding. Children usually learn whole words rather than 147 isolated symbols. While many children learn easily and quickly by this second method, many others need the decoding process of the linguistic method. With the aid of Miss Garoufes and the reading teachers, we hope to discover these pupils and give them a reading method adjusted to their needs. Mr. Louis Drake, Mathematics Department Head and Mr. Donald Eldredge, Science Department Head, have been most helpful and efficient in organizing programs for these subjects, in arranging interchange of materials, planning in-service training and in assisting in planning and assisting in planning and presen- tation of subject matter. Mr. Drake has initiated a student -tutor program. In this program, nine pupils from the eighth grade of our neighboring Middle School use two free periods each week to assist pupils in grade one and two who are not progressing satis- factorily in math. An in-service NASA program, "Aerospace Workshop for Elementary Teachers" was held at West Yarmouth Elementary School during the last week of August. This was a most success- ful program presented by a representative of National Aeronautics and Space Administration for teachers of grades kindergarten through six with Miss Marie Malo, teacher of fourth grade science, as host workshop director. Music, both vocal and instrumental, continues to be a stimu- lating experience for the pupils. Mrs. Margaret Maxwell joined us as teacher of vocal music this year. Unfortunately her time must be divided among three buildings which allows her only one period a week with each class. She feels that this does not allow for adequate carry-over nor give sufficient practice par- ticularly in grades three and four where note reading and music theory are begun. Mr. Richard LaPorte continues his excellent work as band instrument instructor. This instruction begins with fourth grade which means that all pupils at West Yarmouth are beginning pupils. Because Mr. LaPorte is able to give them additional time this year, progress is most gratifying. Mr. Frank Cornwell, stringed instrument instructor, has ten beginning pupils. Mr. Cornwell has made music very fascinating for the entire school. This is partly because of his own ability and partly because of the concerts he has arranged each year. These Musicians Union Trust Fund Concerts have been received enthusiastically. 148 The addition of Mrs. Ruth Nickerson, Speech Therapist, to the staff of the Yarmouth schools is proving of great value in help- ing children with special problems. Mrs. Nickerson believes that speech is a basic skill to learning. If a child has difficulty with speech, he or she cannot be expected to read, write or spell with- out difficulty. This September the program was established in the first grades. Each first grade pupil was given an individual speech screening and evaluation. Of the 117 first grade pupils screened at West Yarmouth, 26 needed speech therapy. Beyond first grade, the program has included referrals by the classroom teachers. Of these 20 pupils, 19 needed speech therapy. Screenings and evalua- tions were also given to 5 kindergarten pupils upon request. At present there are 38 children enrolled in the speech therapy pro- gram. Children who are on the waiting list will be added to the program when there are openings as others are corrected and dismissed. Beginning in September, Mrs. Charlotte Besse was appointed as art teacher for the West Yarmouth Elementary School. Mrs. Besse is unusually well qualified for this position since she is not only trained in her subject but has had a number of years experience as a teacher in second grade. We are now able to give each pupil two periods of art with a trained instructor each week. This is particularly valuable for those pupils who need the satis- faction of creative expression and for those whose motor coordina- tion is aided by this work. We are happy to welcome Mr. John Meehan as he returns to his position of Director of Library Media Services. Under his direction, the library media program has been in operation at West Yarmouth Elementary since 1965. The library and the co- ordinated audio-visual and resource center have truly become the center of our school life. It would not be possible to leave the subject of library services without expressing appreciation to Mrs. Lorraine Loughlin who, as teachers' aide, has been extremely helpful in organizing and supervising the library and use of audio- visual equipment. The school is concerned not only with the child's mental and emotional growth but with physical development. Mrs. Marion Chapman, school nurse, reports that annual physical examinations have been given to all pupils in grades one and four by Dr. Her- mon Howes, school physician. Mrs. Chapman assisted in these examinations and, with her assistant, Mrs. Jocelyn Carter, has kept a complete record of the results as well as reporting all problems to parents. Eye ani ear examinations are also given each child 149 and parents are notified of any defects. Booster innoculations for diphtheria and tetanus were administered to 54 fourth grade pupils with parental consent and teachers and personnel who so requested received "flu" innoculations in November. Mrs. Ann Emery, as girls' physical education instructor and Mr. Daniel Campbell, as instructor for boys, are organizing ac- tivities which should develop skills contributing to physical growth and social adjustment. Children in the lower grades need these periods of physical activity. It is pleasant to note that this year each child has at least one physical education period each week with a trained instructor. It is hoped that more time for such ac- tivity can be allotted as well as time for the small group work in the perceptual -motor coordination program initiated by Mrs. Em- ery. It was a loss to our school when Mrs. Irene Paulson retired from teaching after twenty years in the Yarmouth schools. Mrs. Paulson is a truly dedicated teacher and a most charming and gracious person and will be much missed in our third grade. A school is only as good as its teachers and we, at West Yar- mouth Elementary School, are very fortunate in our classroom teachers who give generously of time, interest and effort. Miss Cynthia Baker and Miss Joan Baker are indeed welcome as they return to their classrooms after a year spent in travel. Miss Bar- bara Maffeo joined us in September as a teacher for the additional third grade class and Mrs. Kay Traywick replaced Mrs. Paulson in October. We are fortunate that our school cafeteria staff remains the same, with Mrs. Evie Riley as manager. Mrs. Martha Gartrell and Miss Jean McPhedan, as aides, assist in the supervision of the cafeteria for two hours each day. Mr. William Palmer, head custodian, resigned in November and Mr. Pau4 St. Louis assumed that position while Mr. Robert L. Thomas replaced Mr. Anthony Martino who retired. The appointment of Mrs. Elizabeth Baker as clerk has con- tributed to the efficiency of the school office. May I take this opportunity to thank our school secretary, Mrs. Thelma Small and Mrs. Baker whose efforts are responsible for the smooth -running of our office. With the continuing increase in school population, it is very evident that additional classrooms and additional teachers will 150 be needed next year. Even with the removal of the fifth grade, all classrooms in the building are in use. It will be necessary to plan for another teacher and classroom for kindergarten pupils and an in -coming first grade estimated at at least 125 pupils will require another teacher and classroom. Five fourth grade classes will be needed and the size of the present first grade indicates the need of an added teacher and classroom for grade two for the year 1970-1971. We have been fortunate this year that Mrs. Dorothea Red- mond, an experienced teacher, has volunteered two mornings each week for special help to pupils with learning problems. Her as- sistance is much appreciated and has provided the importance of such help. I am very appreciative of the cooperation and loyalty given by the entire staff of the West Yarmouth Elementary School. To you, Mr. Kenyon, to Mr. Bearse and to the members of the Yar- mouth School Committee I offer sincere thanks for your continuing assistance and support. Respectfully submitted, - Marguerite E.

The enrollment of three hundred and fifteen (315) students is just about what the building was built 152 for. We have four first grades, four second grades and four third grades on the first floor. In the lower level, we have an art room, music room, a library and an auditorium which also serves as our gymnasium. The John Simpkins building has a present enrollment of three hundred and forty (340) pupils which is about right for the best use of the building. This year it is housing two hundred and thirty (230) fifth grade students and one hundred (100) fourth grade students, plus the Special Class. We have made good use, of the gymnasium and the new shower rooms. The teachers and students are very pleased with the new classroom carpeting. We hope in the future to incorporate home economics and wood working into our curriculum. We have added three new teachers and replaced three teach- ers. New to our staff are : Mrs. Martha Gunther Grade 1 Mrs. Cheryl J. Sutter 4 Mrs. Elaine C. Borowich 5 Mrs. Avis Jansson 5 Mrs. Rita Wood 5 Mr. Benjamin Betti 5 Mrs. Janet Blackburn Library The Iowa Test of Basic Skills was given to the Third, Fourth, and Fifth grades in March. The Otis -Lennon Intelligence Tests were given to the First, Third and Fifth Grades in February. We have a unique operation in the Fifth grades. We have divided two hundred (200) pupils from West Yarmouth and South Yarmouth into two integrated groups, with four teachers working with a hundred (100) children :- one math teacher, one science teacher and two reading teachers. In setting this up, we were able to create language "blocks" where one student would have the same teacher for reading, language and creative writing. The science and math teachers share the teaching of social studies. Open House was held in October. We plan on having others during the year. We now have our own Art teacher who teaches at the John Simpkins and South Yarmouth buildings. We still share the Music and Physical Education teachers with the West Yarmouth Elemen- tary School. 153 The people listed below have turned into me reports of their work for the year. These reports and the people themselves are available to anyone who is interested in a particular area. I do not feel that I could do justice to their individual programs in scope or effort.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts 0266-4 Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is with pleasure that I submit my first Annual Report as Principal of the Yarmouth Middle School. The following teachers joined our staff in September : Teacher Miss Bonnie Bassett Miss Betty Jane Borry Miss Margaret Bouley Miss Jean F. Brown Thomas D. Castellano Mrs. Beverly Counsell Kenneth L.

Girls 99 121 97 Total 201 224 187 A math student tutor program was organized for the first time. There are eighteen students involved in this program. Ten travel to South Yarmouth Elementary School and eight walk to the West Yarmouth Elementary School every Friday. The students tutor first, second, and third graders who need special individual- ized instruction. The tutors make and create most of their own concrete material which is used to encourage and motivate the students. The same type of program is being organized for the Middle School and John Simpkins. Miss Claire Walker, a teacher from State College at Bridgewater, was hired to conduct a ten week course on the Cuisenaire Rods. This is a visual approach for teaching math. Two sixth grade math teachers are participating with other Yarmouth teachers every Tuesday in this project. Due to the speech therapy program being established this year in all first grades, the pupils enrolled in the Middle School are through referrals by the teachers. Of the 17 referrals 9 needed speech therapy. Of the 9 parents who were notified for confer- ences, all 9 had conferences with the speech therapist. At present, 9 pupils are enrolled in the speech therapy program. They have 2 sessions a week either group or individual, depending on the need. The referral process is continuous and as they are brought to my attention they will be screened, evaluated, and placed on a waiting list. They will be added to the program as the pupils presently enrolled are corrected and dismissed. Since the beginning of the school year the Instrumental Music Department has been striving to teach those interested students how to read musical and rhythmic notations. This instruction has been taking place in heterogeneous type groupings forty minutes long throughout the day. Within these groups there are quite a few different levels of advancement. Budgeting time is most im- portant in order to help each student with his particular problem. Starting on December 9 the Band Program went into effect. Each Tuesday during 3rd period 33 students meet for Intermediate Band rehearsal, and at 3rd period on Thursday 36 students meet for Advanced Band rehearsal. These 69 students were assigned ac- cording to their playing ability. Any students not in either Band Program will be able to participate, by choice, after school in homogeneous type groupings giving them experience with a group situation. On December 18 a beginning Brass and Percussion class will meet after school for extra help. We consider our science laboratory facilities unsurpassed by any other school of comparable size and grade level. The transi- tion from the old to the new was accompanied by many hindrances and inconveniences, as might be expected when moving into a 157 new and unfinished school. At the time of this writing, however, all of the hundreds of items of lab equipment and supplies have been unpacked, inventoried, assembled, and systematically put away in the proper place for future use. All labs are now in full or partial use with the exception of one which is still being held up for lack of plumbing fixtures. Yarmouth is one of the six New England schools participating in an experimental science curriculum being developed under the auspices of the National Science Foundation. The results thus far have been very satisfactory and we expect to participate again next year and extend the program into grade eight. The geographical location of the new middle school is unique in that the school grounds abut a natural pond and several acres of woodland owned by the water department and conservation com- mission. We hope that the potential of this natural facility for outdoor education and field trips will be fully developed with the addition of especially qualified personnel to our science teaching staff. Reading in the Mattacheese Middle Schoolconsists of a com- prehensive developmental reading program which provides the necessary instruction, training, and guidance in areas most critical to the development of effective and efficient readers. This multi- media approach to reading skill development employs a _ full complement of devices and materials. With additions to the teach- ing staff, intensified small group instruction will be possible. Dur- ing the early fall, diagnostic reading tests were administered to the sixth grade students and to the students new to the Yarmouth schools for the purpose of assessing the students' weaknesses and strengths. Instruction has been programmed for the pupil in the areas of his weaknesses at his own level and pace. The Physical Education Program at the Yarmouth Middle School stresses the basic fundamentals of the various team sports and individual activities. The boys are taught basic skills of soccer, flag football, basketball, volleyball, softball, gymnastics, track and field, wrestling, archery and a physical fitness test. The girls are taught soccer, field hockey, basketball, volleyball, gym- nastics, track and field, softball and archery. They will also be involved in an individual physical fitness test in the spring. It is hoped that throughout the program the students will develop the proper attitudes of good sportsmanship, basic movement, coordina- tion, social conduct and self discipline. The athletic program has taken on a new look with an intramural program added along with the varsity program. The activities for boys in this program in- cludes soccer, basketball and baseball while the girls program will include field hockey, basketball, gymnastics, and softball. This 158 program is open to boys and girls in, grades 6, 7, and 8. A 6th grade Olympic field day has been planned for the spring. Guidance activities in the Yarmouth Middle School have focused on individual counseling with pupils. To date, there have been 273 individual counseling sessions lasting from 15 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes. A pattern of parental conferences has also been set up with an ever increasing number of parents taking part. These conferences have evolved around the needs of pupils in educational, personal, social and occupational areas. A testing program of Mental Ability and Achievement tests is underway. Tests results will be shared with parents, teachers, and the child so that a better assessment of pupil progress and potential may be realized. Work is being done to work out individual scheduling difficulties with some pupils. A procedure has been set up for the welcoming and registration of new pupils to the school. Steps have been taken to set up a guidance reception area which will contain booklets, pamphlets, posters and other materials relating to the educational, social, personal, and occupational needs of the pupils. Other plans for the future involve orientation procedures for the 5th grade move into the Middle School and the 8th grade to the high school. Meetings with parents and teachers concerning pupils who continue to find difficulty in adjusting to the school environ- ment will be continued. All students in Grade VI participate in the regular music program in a forty -minute period once a week. Students in Grades VII and VIII are dividing their time schedules between Music and Art, one-half year of each. The work in this area is following a pattern of Classical Record of the Week, Lives of Master Compos- ers, tone, rhythm, chord drills, knowledge of music symbols and verbiage, songs appropriate to the season. Equipment in use : record player, piano, tape recorder, rhythm band instruments, books, "Music For Young Americans," A.B.C., auto -harps. A group of students have formed a mixed chorus, meeting at the present during the eighth period on Thursday. Those involved number 100 strong. A guitar club has been organized and meets on Tuesday afternoon. So far, approximately fifty students have expressed a desire to belong. Each pupil owns his own guitar either folk or electric. Many other activities are possible in this newly opened area — operettas, variety shows, all boy choir. Every effort is being made to give individualized music instruction during study periods. Household Arts is comprised of two areas : 'cooking and clothing. Girls in grades six to eight have the opportunity to learn 159 basic skills in these fields. A trip is being planned for the eighth grade girls to visit various industries during the spring. The shop area is equipped for teaching basic tool and machine woodworking, foundry processes and bench metal work. In addi- tion, an electrical area is being set up. Each boy in this school will have an opportunity to experience the use and handling of the tools and materials and be taught the techniques and processes related to the different areas. The philosophy for the emerging concept of the school library can be summed up in two simple words ; Communications and Services. Communications is the system whereby the interplay of ideas, based upon experiences that are related to both the sender and the receiver are transmitted through a chosen medium. There- fore, since modern technology has produced many new forms and methods for transmitting information, it becomes necessary tor the proper storage and dissemination of these materials. From this need has emerged the Library -Media Center concept. Through the proper services provided by the school library, the needs of all kinds of students, highly motivated as well as apathetic, the un- responsive, the gifted child as well as the reluctant learner will be provided for. Art methods and materials were introduced to facilitate the students' understanding and enjoyment of the field of artistic endeavor. Large tri -dimensional figures, letters, and forms were created out of cardboard and paint to commemorate the national holidays. In small groups, students were able to plan and make their ideas become reality in paper and wood. Their drawings, letters, and creations have been well received by the faculty and students. Each student is now engaged in his own project which hopefully will be shown in the spring. Drawings and paintings in pencil, pen and ink, watercolors, and tempera are being made by students in the seventh and eighth grades, while the sixth grade is continuing along a planned course of art instruction. At the half way point of the school year the seventh and eighth grade groups will change having had art, they will then go to music, while those presently in music will receive art instruction. We hope to have "Open House" as soon as the school is completely finished and turned over to the Town by the contractor. A visit to the school by each inhabitant of the town should cause them to have pride in this educational institution. I would like to congratulate all the individuals who had a part in the planning, developing, and construction of this school. 160 It is now up to the educators of the Yarmouth Middle School to develop a curriculum in keeping with the standard that has been set up for us. May I express my gratitude to Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse, Mr. Sisk, Mr. Flanagan, the, school committee, teaching staff, and all other school personnel for their cooperation during the past year.

Davis It is with great pleasure that I submit my second report as Director of the Evening Adult Education Program for the Town of Yarmouth. Registration was held at the New Middle School on September 17, 1969 from 7:00-8:30 p. m. This year's total registration was 549. The courses offered for the school year 1969-70 were as fol- lows : MONDAY Beginning Sewing E. Murley Knitting P. Huntley Decorated Ware - B. White 162 Woodworking A. Anderson - L. Drake Adv.

Upon the transfer of the Adult Program from the John Simpkins School to the new Middle School we realized many advantages ; excellent teaching facilities, spacious learning areas, lighted and adequate parking, and an opportunity to expand the program. We are striving to offer the adult community an opportunity to realize a most satisfying return for their school tax investment. I wish to invite those adults who have not had the opportunity to avail themselves of the program to consider registering in one or more of the several courses that will be offered next September. I would like to express my appreciation to the members of the Adult teaching staff, secretaries and evening custodians for their generous effort and interest in making the program what it is. I wish to thank you, Mr. Kenyon and the members of the School Committee for affording me the opportunity to serve as Director of the program, and I appreciate your support in helping me carry out the responsibilities inherent in the position.

Sears Town of Yarmouth Board of Selectmen Haydn Mason Constable ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DENNIS - YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1969 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE REPORT In March of 1969, Mrs. Barbara P. Wilson was elected to the School Committee for a one-year term, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of John A. Hastings. Mr. Hastings had served as a Commit- tee member since 1960 and had been Vice Chairman from 1966 to 1968. Officers elected in April were: Alfred C. Kelley, Chairman; Richard L. Whipple, Vice Chairman; and Harold L. Hayes, Jr., Secretary -Treasurer. Appointments from the Dennis and Yarmouth School Committees for the year were Joseph W. Perkins and Kenneth H. Studley. During the year, the Committee has given serious study to a second addition to the school. Contemplated is a "field -house complex," which will include a swimming pool and hockey facilities. Also being con- sidered is a separate building to house the Library and Committee Room, with adjacent office space for the Committee. The architect has met with the Committee, members of the Administration, and Department Heads. The School Building Assistance Bureau has expressed satisfac- tion with proposals which have been submitted by the Superintendent. As exchange students for the school year 1969-1970, we have been happy to welcome Yasmin Sweis and Ravi Venketachaiapathy - the for- mer being the selection of the American Field Services; the latter, the choice of the Rotary International Student Exchange Program. Susanne Shealey, a 1967 graduate, was the recipient of the "Scholarships Anon- ymous" award, to assist in her studies at the University of Exeter in England for the current school year. It has been the pleasure of the Committee, as Trustees of the District Scholarship Fund, to award nine scholarships totaling $3,300.00. As in the past, some of these awards were on an outright basis; others are to be paid over longer periods of time. September of 1969 saw the school "bursting at the seams," with an enrollment of more than 1120 students. Several new teachers were added to the faculty, and a Dean of Students - Richard Wainwright - became a member of the Administrative staff. Much progress has been seen, both educationally and culturally. The "student body activity" phase of the school program has also been enlarged. A group of students, chaperoned by faculty members and other townspeople, went to Italy during the Spring vacation and plans have been approved for a trip to Spain in 1970. The nucleus of a sailing program has become a reality, with the purchase 'of three Beetlecat boats. The Summer School, under the direction of Joseph W. Aldridge, Jr., again made a distinct con- tribution to the educational advancement of our own students, as well as those from other areas. 2 Investments made in Treasury Bills, together with income from a savings account, have yielded nearly $9,700. This, combined with cer- tain amounts which the District receives as reimbursements, has enabled the District once again to allocate a substantial credit toward the assessments necessary from the member towns. The Committee has been most pleased to cooperate with various civic organizations by ex- tending the use of school facilities for many events. As always, we have endeavored to fulfill the Committee objective stated in the District Handbook of Policy published in 1959: "To help each student develop as a mature individual and as a contributing member of society - through the development of a school program with the scope to encompass the intellectual, physical, civic, social and aesthetic needs of students in a democratic society."

Studley Barbara P. Wilson Joseph W. Perkins Nathaniel H. Wixon Dean B. Yount REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee: I herewith submit my twelfth report as Superintendent of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. A conservative pupil projection is that Dennis -Yarmouth will be accommodating 2000 plus students by 1980. SPACE Progress is being made on the preparation of plans for additional space, both regular and specialized. The present building has reached the size where further additions are not feasible. Thought is being given to the idea of developing a campus type complex for the future. 3 REPORT The reports from all department chairmen are filed in the Prin- cipal's office, where they may be seen by anyone wishing to read the report of a specific department. The Principal in reporting has included the highlights of these reports. ACCREDITATION The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School is an accredited high school. MAINTENANCE Due to the demands being made on the use of the school grounds for summer recreation it has been deemed necessary to engage the services of two extra men for grounds work during the growing season. The regular custodial force has performed effectively during the past year and is to be commended for its performance. NO SCHOOL SIGNAL The Regional School Committee will close school only in cases of extreme weather conditions. Parents are urged to exercise their per- sonal judgment as to the wisdom of sending their children to school dur- ing a period of inclement weather. 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. 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 be- tween the ages of sixteen and eighteen are issued at the Office of the Regional High School. Personal application must be made and evidence of date of birth must be presented. The faculty of Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School has at all times during the past year exhibited leadership and concern for the pupils in attendance. I wish to thank the members of the Committee for their cooperation and understanding of school problems. Respectfully submitted, ALFRED R.

Probably the biggest surprise of the year was our fall enrollment figures. When school closed in June, 1969, we had nine hundred and seventy-seven students at D --Y. We anticipated growth, in that our eighth grades at both junior high schools totaled more than our graduat- ing senior class. Our growth pattern over the past eight years varied from about fifty to possibly seventy new students each year. School opened on September 3, and our enrollment was eleven hundred and twenty-nine students. Fortunately, since we have excellent accommoda- tions, we were able to provide for the additional pupils by increasing class sizes. However, this brought our need for additional classrooms and more facilities for our physical education, art and library depart- ments into sharp focus. D -Y must plan an addition in the immediate future, or the educational opportunities of the students will be curtailed yearly due to continued lack of space. During the year 1969, we have made a continued effort to improve our offerings to our student body. A brief look at the activities of the various departments will show our efforts and progress. 9 The emphasis in guidance must always be on the individual. Through counseling and related services we attempt to work with the individual in an effort to help him reach his full potential, both as a student and as a person. Each student is seen on two or more occasions during the school year. This is coupled with several group orientation sessions and the opportunity to attend numerous meetings with representatives from educational and vocational institutions. Since sixty to seventy per cent of our student body will attend some type of institution of higher learning, close communication is maintained with a large number of schools. This is done through visita- tions, conference attendance, and individual contact. We attempt to work closely with various mental health facilities in order to more effectively help those students with emotional problems. Each year we sponsor informational programs on drugs, smoking and drinking to better inform our students on the problems they face and will continue to face in our present society. As the school population expands and society becomes more com- plex, we find we must continue to expand our services in order to successfully meet the needs of all our students. During this school year, we have reviewed and revised where neces- sary the English program at the four grade levels. New material is added each year to our resources, and it is our objective to blend the new with the old in order to keep our program contemporary. Also, liaison has been established with the middle schools in both towns in an attempt to standardize to a desirable degree the English backgrounds of the in- coming classes. Students using the Library for research have received much benefit from the new microfilm reader and the reels of microfilm. To date we have on film only periodicals back to 1965. There is, however, much instructional material available on microfilm and the program can be expanded. The New York Times is a recent addition to our film library. This is an excellent source of information for history and social studies. One of our problems has been proper shelving for new books. With the addition of a section of shelves, we hope this problem will be solved until there is more library space. The major project for the mathematics department during the 1969-1970 school year is a study and revision of curriculum. Mr. Grand- er, Mr. Fairman and Mr. Daggett are working as a committee on this project with help from other department members, guidance and ad - 10 ministration. We are using the Wang Calculator in both the general and the college preparatory program on an experimental basis. This introduces the student to computer language and simple programming problems. Expansion in this area is anticipated when new classroom facilities are available. Mr. Thomas Butler has received an Academic Year Institute from the National Science Foundation and is on sabbatical leave. The philosophy of the Social Studies Department at Dennis -Yar- mouth is the development of informed citizens fully aware of the need for insuring the dignity and worth of the individual; for personal in- volvement in improving the society they have inherited; for appreciat- ing the contributions of all cultures to society; and for recognizing the interdependence of all peoples. The program offered is constantly discussed and evaluated with teachers in the Dennis and Yarmouth middle schools and by members of the High School Social Studies Department. The following are the courses offered at D -Y: Civics, Ancient His- tory, Economic Geography, World History, United States History, Con- temporary Government, and Economics and Psychology. In the science area two curriculum changes were made. Introduc- tion was begun to new E.S.C.P. earth science program. Mr. Wherity, earth science teacher, reports that the new program is being very well received in the one test class; and we have planned to offer the program to all earth science classes next year. In the college biology courses, a six-week laboratory block con- cerned with plant growth and development was tried for the first time by Miss Anderson. The unit is about 80% lab oriented with very little teacher -lecture and a great deal of experimentation. A second program is being considered for next year based on animal growth and behavior. Continued increased interest in science encourages us a great deal. Enrollment figures this fall show class size increases of 100% or more (over figures collected four years ago) in earth science, college prepara- tory chemistry and general chemistry. Extra -curricular activities in the science area are popular.. The Science Club meets regularly with Mr. Bell and is currently engaged in constructing a helium gas laser (low power). The Oceanographic Club meets regularly with Mr. York for trips to Woods Hole lectures and field research projects on a local marshland. 11 Teacher trips were taken to Argonne National Laboratories, Na- tional Teachers' Convention, New England Association of Chemistry Teachers' Summer Conference, Bell Telephone Laboratories, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Boston Museum of Science Lecture Series, University of Massachusetts "Science in Action" Program, and the M.I.T. Nuclear Reactor in Boston. Special opportunities were offered to four of our students this year. Two students were invited to attend the Youth and the Atom Conference in Chicago. Two other students were accepted to work on the RSV Chain as it engaged in research work in the Gulf Stream off Cape Hat- teras. More students are studying foreign languages than ever before at D -Y. As of October first, there were 485 pupils enrolled as follows: French 350, Spanish 100, Latin 35. This represents an increase of over a hundred from the previous year. The department has functioned well. Additional texts and audio- visual material have been added. College board results, as well as re- sults in the Modern Language Association tests, have been excellent. Follow-up of students continuing language study in college has been commendable. The Business Department continues to expand its facilities. The acquisition of an Edison Voicewriter unit enables ten students to receive individual speed dictation practice simultaneously. The Business Ma- chine classes have had the loan of an electronic calculator, and there has been an increase in the number of boys enrolled in the Business Machine classes, as well as college -bound students studying Bookkeeping. The addition of five new manual typewriters has made it possible for more students to receive instruction in Personal Typing and Typing I. One of the goals of the Department is that every student at D -Y have the opportunity to receive instruction in Typing I, either for a half-year or for an entire year. Students from the Business Department are successfully employed or are enrolled in post -secondary schools and colleges. Certificates and pins are awarded for recognition of achievement in speed and accuracy in the areas of -Typing, Shorthand, and Business Machines. The several areas of the Industrial Arts proper continue to operate smoothly with a "constant" personnel. The General Industrial Arts continued to operate at near pupil capacity, the Boat Shop nearly so. Printing has increased slightly; Power Mechanics has added one class. 12 As is true of the school as a whole, there is a need for additional facilities, and the Department is looking forward to that time when it can serve a larger segment of the school population, particularly those wishing to prepare for a technical education, or those whose High School education is terminal. The Art Department reports that it sent eleven seniors to art schools: Pratt Institute, The Rhode Island School of Design and the Boston Museum School were among those schools which accepted D -Y graduates. - The Scholastic Art Awards Exhibition in Boston listed 18 top awards given in the State of Massachusetts. The Hallmark award for the "best in show" went to Martha Newcomb from D -Y. There were 12 portfolio awards, three of which were received by our students. Only one port- folio from Massachusetts survived national judging—that of Anita Bal- boni. This award entitled her to a year's free tuition to the school of her choice. The year 1969 saw an exceptionally talented group of young artists who did a fine job of stage design for Camelot. They also won for their school a national citation for the excellence of the art department. Our goals are the same—basic "know-how" plus emphasis on cre- ativity. Home Economics as a course of study actually encompasses many different areas of subject matter. Along with foods and clothing, there are also the facets of home life which involve other skills, techniques, attitudes and relationships essential to the best functioning of personal and family living. Subject matter is presented through actual laboratory experience, demonstrations, and the use of a wide selection of visual aids. Special features include a Christmas Tea for parents and faculty, a style show, guest speakers, guest meals and several field trips. Local merchants and organizations are also very helpful. The new freshman class was so large that it was necessary to make four sections of it. (In fact, the department is 20% larger than last year.) Freshmen and sophomores have only single -period classes. The music department had its usual busy and productive year. The string ensemble, band and chorus performed for many audiences. Ral- lies, assemblies, football games, concerts, parades, auditions for Cape and District Music Festivals provided occasions to demonstrate our skills. Music theory class listened to and discussed music of the past five cen- turies and witnessed the Boston Pops in concert. 13 One of the year's highlights was the Broadway production of "Came- lot" performed by all in a very professional manner. The year ended with the customary Christmas assembly. The year 1969 has seen some areas of our physical education fa- cilities reach what might be considered the saturation point as far as being adequate to handle efficiently the large student body we now have. The Department, however, is appreciative that the Administration is mindful of its needs, and is presently in the process of planning for expansion in this area. In the specific area of Physical Education, the following constituted the program, or units, for the year: 2 weeks 6 weeks 7 weeks 7 weeks 7 weeks 8 weeks Boys - orientation & testing - football & soccer - basketball & wrestling - gymnastics & First Aid - volleyball & wrestling - track, softball, tennis 2 weeks - 6 weeks - 7 weeks - ness 7 weeks - 7 weeks - 8 weeks - Girls orientation & testing field hockey & tennis basketball & phys. fit - volleyball & mod. dance gymnastics & First Aid track, softball, testing In the area of athletics, which we consider an outgrowth of the Physical Education Program, the following activities were offered: Football Soccer Cross Country Hockey Basketball Boys Gymnastics Winter Track Baseball Track Golf Girls Field Hockey Basketball Softball The year 1970 will not, in all probability, see any additions to our sports offerings except for the addition of Girls' tennis as a formal ac- tivity to participate in the Capeway Conference. The staff of the Physical Education Department for 1969 was as follows Name Merrill D.

She has served on committees dealing with health problems posed by the hazards of smoking, alcohol and drugs. The areas of health services have increased, and we are grate- ful to Mrs. Esther McCarthy for her services to the D -Y pupils and the community. We again assess our effectiveness in making the many phases of visual education available to our pupils. Tape recorders, control read- ers, motion pictures, film strips, records, transparencies, cassettes, as well as other devices, have become very much a part of today's class- room period. May I emphasize a part of the classroom period, in that the media are considered only a supplement to the teacher basic course offering. Government funds through the National Defense Education Act, and the Fred Eldridge Howes Fund, with the cooperation of trustees and of the School Committee, have allowed D -Y to keep abreast of the ever- increasing trend toward visual learning. We are reminded that visual learning reaches all I.Q. levels better than practically any other teaching medium. 15 We are pleased, in this report, to acknowledge the loyal dedicated contribution made by Mr. Gilbert Muir to this department before retire- ment. May I also express my appreciation and give recognition to the staff boys who give much of their study period time, so that effective, co- ordinated presentation can be made in the classroom. Increased enrollment has brought increasing demands for driver training—both classroom and behind -the -wheel instruction. It was decided that we should attempt to meet the needs of all youth in this area, so a second full-time driver education teacher and a second car were needed. Mr. Egan and Mr. VanAlstyne have a prepared program of classroom work and driving time and have helped many students complete their work to become licensed drivers in Massachusetts. This report gives the highlights of our year's accomplishments. May we express our appreciation to the Superintendent of Schools and the School Committee for their continued encouragement and support of our programs. Respectfully submitted, WALLACE A.

Garland, American Legion Post #197, the Yar- mouth Civic Association, the Ann Castonguay Memorial, Matakese Chap- ter #158—Order of Eastern Star, and Memorials for Howard B. Mun- roe, Peter Maxtone-Graham, Stephen A. Kimball, and William P. Frost. The Friday Club, Hyannis Board of Trade, Yarmouth Police Relief As- sociation, and Yarmouth Police Wives' Association have also contributed generously. Additionally, the proceeds of a clothes -line sale—sponsored by the Art Department—were given for the purpose of providing schol- arships for graduates desiring to further their studies in the field of art. Robert Phillips, a student who had engaged in a special fund- raising project, donated his earnings to the Scholarship Fund. Recently, the Cape Cod Chowder Club has graciously presented a check for more than $1,300. For all of these gifts, we have been most grateful. The Trustees have once again been notified by Scholarships Anon- ymous that funds for study abroad are to be available to a graduate of Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. An application has been sub- mitted by Susanne Shealey, of the Class of 1967, who is now attending Wells College and wishes to enhance her education by a year's study at the University of Exeter in England. We have been pleased to recom- mend Miss Shealey for this honor. At graduation in 1968, twelve students were recipientsof awards, many to extend over a four-year period; others were one or two year grants. To have the privilege of assisting worthy students in their cul- tural advancement is a rewarding experience. The Trustees express their sincere thank to all of those who help to make this possible through their continuing generosity.
