The Department installed 192 new house services, and extended its Water mains a total of 22,508 ft. Most of the 6" and 8" pipe was used in tieing in dead ends. Amount of different size pipe installed are as follows: 13,300 ft of 11/2" pipe 7,206 ft of 6" pipe 2,002 ft of 8" pipe A total of 14,769 ft of 3/4" and 1" service pipe was in- stalled. Five years ago, consulting engineers for the Water De- partment predicted that by the end of 1951, we would be serving one thousand takers in the Town of Yarmouth. We are most happy to report that they, the engineers, under estimated considerably. As -of the end of the fiscal year, we are serving 1600 families, or an increase of 600 over the engineers estimate. This remarkable development and growth, of course, has been due to the tremendous building that has taken place in our town these last few years. The direct resultant of this growth, financially speak- ing has been revenue from Water Rates and Services ex- ceeding the $50,000.00 mark. Although the amount of rev - 65 euue taken in during 1951 exceeded appropriations, such a stupendous growth, imposes on our plant tremendous bur- dens and .taxes the capacity of our operating equipment. It is,our sincere hope that we can get by for several years without major expenditures -to our plant, .but in one cate- gory, that of storage space, we find ourselves definitely cramped, and the Board is asking for $3,000.00 for an ad- ditional building for storage purposes. Another major expenditure, although not unusual, is the cost of painting the elevated tank on the North side at a cost of $3,300.00. Major increases in the salaries of our employees have been requested, not on the grounds of cost -of -living adjust- ments, but to bring their pay checks in line with their true worth as responsible Water Department employees. Replacing trained and experienced personnel, acquaint- ed with Water Works, its operation and maintenance, is a costly and sometimes unsatisfactory experience. We have a staff of experienced, dependable, and well proven men, and we want them to know that we appreciate and approve of them, and we don't want to lose their services to some adjacent town. This is our report to you, the taxpayers and voters of our town. In the past, we have asked you to submit to us any suggestions for the betterment of our department. We ask you once more, but, in the meantime, it is our intent to go on serving you to the best of our ability, it most defin- itely is a privilege.

Board has been extremely active because of the increased work and additional duties imposed upon it relative to subdivision control. The Board has felt that the time has now come to make several amendments to the Zoning Law, all of which came before it on January 3, 1952. The principal amendment has to do with changing the ZONING character of an area West of the run and BY-LAW East of Sea View Avenue on Nantucket AMENDMENT Sound. After the public hearing the Board feels that such an amendment should be postponed for the time being. and therefore, suggests no action thereon. Various other amendments having to do with minor _changes in the zoning law and as sueh would appear in the Town Warrant and are sponsored and approved by the Planning Board. The amendment having to do with signs, the Board feels should be postponed and leave the matter as it is, to wit: Any larger sign, than twelve (12)' square feet• should come before the Board of Appeals. The public shade trees present and represent a very valuable SHADE natural resource to any town or community, but TREES it is important that their care and replacement be continuous. The. anneal appropriation to the .tree warden for work on trees is not sufficient, either for planting or replacing in any locations or areas. At least 120 trees should be set•out each year for the next fifty years. This would require an annual budget for about $1500, based upon estimates from the tree experts. These trees would be planted on all the town ways and where there is no sidewalk, trees should be located so as to allow future construction of a walk be- tween them and a road way. 11r t 1 11 1.IIi 1 i 77:. This will require planting on private property, which, ,is permissible under the statute, if the owner gives written ,permission. Street trees on the inside of the sidewalk re- sult in greater safety for the automobilist, require fewer guards and replacement, provide for better road expansion, interfere less with the utilities and actually make the streets appear wider, with a much more pleasing effect. The Board strongly recommends the adoption by the Town of the Article we have placed of the continued pro- gram of street tree planting each year. The Board recommends the adoption of a soil conservation SOIL program, which h.ss worked out very CONSERVATION nicely in the Town of Barnstable. This is practically the same by-law that the Town of Barnstable recently adopted. The Board makes the following recommendations as to the future development of the new Town Beach West of Parker's River, recently acquired, extending over a period of years, as follows: 1. In the first year a road from South Sea Avenue eto the graded. Beach should be taken and perhaps rough SOUTH SEA 2. The following year a park - BEACH ing space should be started at the RECOMMENDATIONS beach itself. 3. The third year, the road way above mentioned should be hardened. 4. The fourth year, further improvements to parking space and the beach itself should be made. The board would recommend that ,:he same amount of PARKS money be. appropriated, to each of the three small public parks in the town as in previous years. Respectfully submitted, A.

Gentlemen.: The following tables indicate the constant changes in the number of persons being aided in all categories of relief. "Regular Grants" are the amounts that the individuals receive for everyday • living expenses, while "Special Needs" are the amounts allowed for extra services such as medical, dental, hospital, institutional board, etc. In November of this year, a new category known as Dis- ability 'Assistance was inaugurated. This is the result of a further Federal Social Security coverage which now takes care of people who are permanently and totally disabled. The three Social Security programs now administered by our local. Welfare agency are Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, and. Disability Assistance which are proportionately reimbursed by the State and Federal Government. In General Relief, there is no Federal reimbursement and, except for unsettled cases, no State reimbursement.

Taylor, Chairman Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen : 1 submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Yarmouth for the period from July 16, 1950 to July 13, 1951, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assist- ant Director of Accounts. Very truly yours, FRANCIS X. LANG Director of Accounts Mr. Francis X. Lang Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston Sir: In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Yarmouth for the period from July 16, 1950, the date of the previous audit, to July 13, 1951, the following report being submitted thereon: An examination and verification was made of .the re- corded financial transactions of the town as shown on the 100 books of the departments receiving or disbursing money or •committing bills for collection. _ The books and acceuxits of the accounting officer were examined and checked in. detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the treasurer's cash book and with the records of departmental payments to the treasurer, while the recorded disbursements were checked with the treasury warrants and with the treasurer's books. The appropriations, loan orders, and transfers, as listed from the town clerk's record of town meeting votes, were checked to the appropriation accounts in the account- ing officer's ledger. An.analysis was made of the ledger accounts, a trial bal- ance was drawn off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on July 13, 1951.

This truck is radio equip- ped and on the air constantly when in use. There has been a total of 415 permits issued for gas and oil installations — 235 for oil and 180 for gas. I would like to recommend that those 'having automatic oil heat have them checked occasionally to make sure the safety devices are in proper working order. Permits are required for the storage of oil, also for gas. Applications should be made at the town office for these permits. At this time I would like to thank all the members of the Fire Department for their fine cooperative spirit which has been shown when called upon in performance of their duties and otherwise.

Gentlemen: December 31, 1951 During the year 1951 I inspected 604 electrical installa- tions, covering approximately 4,500 miles in performance of this duty. Very truly yours, E. FRUEAN, JR. Inspector of Wires. a; ! ! ^ ai!! ,ti!• 107 MOTH- REPORT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and To the Citizens and Tax Payers of the Town of Yarmouth: It gives me great pleasure to submit my. report to you for the year 1951. After completely covering the town in the last week---- we have the pleasure of reporting to you that no egg clusters of gypsy moths were found. Throughout our -trapping season (July 1st to September 1st) we did not capture a single male moth. All this has been made- possible by the spraying by air of Barnstable County. It has been a wonderful success, not only in rid- ding the county of gypsy= moths, but other pests have been greatly reduced. • This year less than 100 tent caterpillars were removed from roadside areas within the town. While checking the gypsy moth situation we also were on the lookout for the Brown Tail tnoth, of which we can also say that. none were found.. This year we sprayed the entire Town's roadsides for the purpose of controlling the woodtick and also to get any infiltration of moths by automobile, trailers, or any mobile units from other areas that are infested. This spraying was done during the early morning hours. and at late evening hours for the following reasons: One, being to miss the general automobile traffic of the day. In doing so prac- tically no time was lost in the stopping to wait until cars ha'd gone by, laundry had usually been taken in for the night, babies were not parked. where insecticide filled air would cause parents undue worry. Two, being that during the early hours there is usually no wind to hamper the spray, and it may be directed in almost any direction, so many tithes both sides of a highway may be done at the same time. This is especially true on wood roads that are narrow. During the evening hours we plan to spray the less travelled roads, and here again the wind of the day leaves us as the sun gets low in the west. In April of this. year your Moth Superintendent was given the •honor of being elected president of the organiza- tion known as the Southeastern Massachusetts Tree War- dens' and Moth Superintendents Association. This organiza- tion allows us to keep in touch with all modern methods of coping with trees and their diseases. I am indeed proud that the Town of Yarmouth has been honored by any hold- ing this office. - To close my report I will say that to date we do not have the dreaded Dutch Elm Disease, but do urge that all Elm tree owners keep their trees clean of dead wood and properly sprayed. Healthy trees will ward off disease much better than those that are sickly and neglected. Hoping that next year will bring forth as good results from our labors as I am able to report at the present date, I remain, Respectfully yours, JOHN G. SEARS Moth Superintendent Town of Yarmouth TREE WARDEN REPORT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and to_the -- Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth It gives me great pleasure to report that the small trees planted in recent years are progressing. We are fertilizing them each year and they are responding to this added at- tention. This year tree experts pruned the trees on Main Street in South Yarmouth. In contrast to this work of en- couraging young trees, we have removed several old Silver - leaf Poplars that had been seriously damaged by hurricanes. These trees. being old. did not have the vitality to regain health again. many of them already having rotted, hollow 109 hearts. Other trees that were removed were maples, these being near the Pleasant Street section of South Yarmouth. These also had received the brunt of .the severe winds and because of their age could not come backto health again. On the North side of the Cape we, removed five large Elms that were in very serious condition and were endangering the public. Although it is sad: to remove these old land- marks it makes way for young and strong trees 'to grow into stately specimens. Newly accepted streets will have trees planted where necessary, so that in future years our streets will once again be bordered by trees that we are planting today. Our job is not only to care for our present trees but to plan for tomorrow's shade trees so that our children, and our chil- dren's children will be able to enjoy the fruits of our such ab rs. programas I welcome an extended planting has been outlined by the Planning Board as I believe that a ton with beautiful trees along its ways, is a thoughtful and happy Town. We have a tradition to follow, here in New England, and people come for many miles to see our tree -lined streets. Let us live up to our tradition. Respectfully submitted JOHN G.

As the name of the department implies, we primarily give service to veterans of all wars residing in Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis by supplying information and execut- ing government forms as needed including notarization at no charge in reply to their questions about education, loans, job training, housing, compensation, pensions insurance, hospital and domiciliary care, burials, grave markers and death claims. The same group of advisors in community work men- tioned in last years report continue to give their unpaid assistance to individual cases as requested and needed. Through our usual office routine we ourselves have assisted many SPANISH WAR veterans to clarify their status of eligibility for identification cards entitling them to Hospitalization and Outpatient treatment. (A new ser- vice -passed by Congress last Spring). For WORLD WAR I men we have put considerable time on non -service pensions and hospitalization, which seems to be appreciated by them for results obtained. WORLD WAR II veterans problems have been mostly on loans, edu- cation and insurance and considerable satisfactory results have been noted for this group. The services of Mr. Ezra J. Swift the V.A. Contact Officer representing the Providence Regional Office is thank- fully still available to all Cape veterans in this office from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the first & third Thursdays of each month and it -is understood he will continue to be present, (this being one of the very last "on call" points listed to be eliminated at some distant future time, as per personal contact with the Providence Regional Manager). A. EARLE MITCHELL, Director - 112 Our secondary purpose, also a service more or less but done with funds by a different name is carried for. each town individually and is known as VETERANS' BENEFITS Local Board, Selectmen, Richard B. Taylor, William P. Frost, and How- ard B. Monroe. Acting under State Laws, which is closely supervised by Commissioner Richard F. Tobin, worthy veterans and their dependents, including parents in some instances, are given financial aid and assistance according to their needs within the budgets suggested by the State Department of Veterans' Services. All recommendations of the local agent are office checked by the Commissioner's agent known as Authorizer and are further investigated at home of each applicant by Mr. Philip E. Carey, known as a State Investigator. All are cooperative in the handling of the various cases brought to our attention either by the Selectmen or the veterans themselves. To make application for aid is quite simple but strict, first requirement being presentation of Honorable Discharge or Photo -copy of same from one of the Armed Services during War Time, being at present time worthy to the extent of not being on probation or under order from any Court or addicted to voluntary= . idleness or intemperate habits. Need is then shown from facts given upon appli- cation forms available in this office and completed with our help. While the description of this part of our services might sound brief, it does take the considerable portion of our time due to present economic conditions and therecall of - reservists and induction of new men into the Armed Ser- vices under conditions known now as the "Korean Situa-• tion", whose wives and children can and do apply for State assistance called War Allowance payable by us. after ap- 113 proval by State Department until receipt of Government Allotment by said applicants. Once again we would like to ask all World War II veteransnot to delay any longer about having discharge photo -stated no charge at Barnstable oft Ouse, ifn not already done so, not only as a p im- self but as a possible future service to his dependents. In closing may I again quote part of lettering on our office door which is at present Room 11, second floor Town Office Building, Hyannis, Telephone 688.

We granted 23 variances and disallowed 6 others. There were several changes of personnel of the Board during 1951. • These were as follows: Mr. A. Harold Cas- tonguay, member and chairman for five years, retired as an active member. He was replaced by Elwin W. Coombs of West Yarmouth. Mr. Harvey Studley, Secretary of the Board, was granted a military leave, and he was replaced by Mr. Harry Robinson of South Yarmouth. Both Mr. Castonguay and Mr. Studley served the Board of Appeals steadfastly, honestly, and sincerely, and their absence will be keenly felt. Appointed to the position of alternate mem- her was Richard Robsham of Bass River. I think it would be well to note that for the. first time in the Board's history a decision of the Board has been appealed to the Spring Session of the Superior Court in Barnstable. It will be most interesting to see what the de- cision of the Court will be.

Inevitably this growth .requires expansion of public services which in turn requires more money to- give these services. There are four Articles in the Warrant concerning new buildings for our town and several Articles for new equipment in the Fire and Highway Departments. A practically unanimous request for an approximate 10% increase in wages and salaries, to meet the increased cost of living, is noticed in iuost budgets and we feel that this increase is warranted. However, we feel that all elected and appointed officials should be increasingly conscious of costs and shoulch bend every effort towards. economy _ in operation. A new budget form is in use this year and it is hoped that all department heads will analyze their ex- penditures this year so that the budgets and expenditures next year will parallel each other more closely' than they have in the past. The Board of Assessors have estimated that if the Fin- ance Committee recommendations are voted at the Town Meeting our tax rate will change little if any. On the other hand it is possible to vote approximately $47,000.00 more than we advise which would increase the tax rate as much as $2.50. WILLIAM D.

The need for adequate gymnasium facilities becomes greater each year, not only to accommodate spectator sports, but for an even more important reason — to meet the educational needs of the increasing enrollment and the expanding program. The added gymnasium apparatus furnished this year by the School Department has aided greatly in the program, but the real need remains—added space. It may be noted from the above financial report that the vocal music department, under the direction of Miss Loven, has been most active. The several concerts and pro- grams of the past year have been successful from both musical and financial standpoints. Much of the proceeds are to be used in the purchase of new choir robes for the group. Mr. LaPorte, new instrumental music director, has un- dertaken the difficult task of restoring this phase of the program to its proper place after a long lapse. He has approached the job with enthusiasm and demonstrated ability. Much can be expected from this department in the future. The several faculty changes of the past year provided opportunity for adjustments in scheduling which it is felt have materially .strengthened the school program. Chief among these was the acquisition of an additional teacher, thus permitting an increased number of class sections in English and Social Studies as well as balancing the teach- ing loads of all teachers. . The cafeteria has undergone a complete physical change with the installation of entirely new equipment: The care- fully -planned design and arrangement of this equipment has resulted in increased efficiency far beyond expectations. Pupils are now fed in a fraction of the time formerly re- quired. 1 �.�lb 11 WI: 1r11 .11 1 1 1 ■ 165 Guidance Program Perhaps the most progressive and forward-looking move of the past year has been the inauguration of a guidance program to embrace at present the upper five grades (8-12) The program this .year is on a part-time basis, but future plans include expanding to full time just as soon as possible. Mr. Paul Ecklcy of the faculty has been appointed– Guidance Counselor and has accomplished much this first year in the limited time at. his disposal. Mr. Eckley is com- pleting his graduate work for a Masters Degree in this field and is particularly well qualified for the work. Thus far the program has included at least one personal conference, and often several, with each senior regarding his future educational and/or vocational plans: At present the same opportunity for personal guidance is being given to each member of the Junior Class with the test results of the Boston University testing service being used as a basis for the conference. Increasing amounts of guidance material, as well as educational and occupational informa- tion, is being made available to all pupils. One occupational field trip has been made and others will be taken in the future. • Concurrently with the above individual guidance sche- dule. the pupils of the eighth grade are being provided an orientation program as part of the group guidance plan. Limited as the program is at present, much has been accomplished and it is felt that a positive step in the right direction has been taken. .Recommendations Our needs, in addition to the gymnasium facilities men tioned above, are becoming increasingly more pressing in the vocational departments. Careful consideration should be given to some plan for establishing a Home Economics Department- consistent with the needs of the girls in the conntunity.. The shop program, under Mr. Webster, has 166 been curtailed for lack of space and limited classes are carried on with difficulty. - The vocational program at the high school level should .receive the same consideration as other departments and it is hoped that favorable action will be taken to remedy this situation. • In closing may I express my sincere appreciation to you and to the School Committee and my associates for their full cooperation. Respectfully submitted, NORMAN B. DINSMORE Yarmouth High School Principal REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Mr. Alfred R. Kenyou Superintendent of Schools • Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I herein submit my seeond animal report as principal of Yarmouth Elementary School. It seems to me that any school will be a better school if there is a selection of activities that point toward long- time as well as immediate -worthwhile achievements. These might be classified under four headings: YARMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL— 1. Should Be a School That Serves Children. All children are not alike so administrative practices and the curriculum should be adjusted to the child in line with our knowledge of child growth rather than to try to adjust the child to the curriculum. A better job must be done in teaching the skills- — a 'good reader' is more important now• than at any time in the past. Individual abilities of children, group activities within the classroom, excursions for learning 'experiences must be met. 167 �. Should Have a Staff. That Constantly Grows in Service. Growth and improvement on the part of the personnel which operates the school is a requisite to improving the and is acquired: through understanding, confidence, encourage- inent, and respect for the personalities on the part of the principal. • (b) through professional study on the part of the teachers in teachers' meetings, reading, travel and educational courses. :3. Should Be a School That Is Related to Community Life.. Realization of this comes through cooperative efforts with other administrators and with pupils, classroom teachers, parents and the representatives of .public, social and civic agencies concerned with the welfare of children and the improvement of the community life. 4. Should Be a School That Enlists the Help of the Parents. Every school and every home should continue to desire the best education for children. There are no blueprints as how best to obtain this but continuous working together can .achieve freedom from fears which have in the past retarded progress. A sampling (a complete list could not .be published here) of activities taken from "1951 Days" may serve to show how the above goals are being met. • January Mr. Sherman M. Woodward of South Dennis gave short talks, and exhibited his Driftwood Zoo to the pupils. - Adult courses in oil painting and ceramics got under way.be an re- view under the direction of Mr. Bragg, g of the book "How to Make Arithmetic More Meaning- ful". program (a) February • "Be`My Valentine" party for grade e six xt adventureled r- ship of Miss Cook and Mr. Bragg — social behavior. 168 Beginning of a series of assembly programs by the pupils, "That Washington Girl", grade 5.

A slight change made in the type of mark given with the idea of giving parents a better un- derstanding of their children's work-. Christmas assembly presented to a packed house. Dental Fluorine Clinic held during,December. In addition to the above activities, the children did such things as use 2,436 inches of colored crayons, 80 fillings of duplicator fluid, 11,663 square inches of ; colored construc- tion paper. 426 packages of paper and 1500 workbooks, 81 pints of paste. 11,136 inches of pencil leads, 480 hours of music with the piano and hours and hours of records on the record players, etc. • From the above sketch you eau see that -SCHOOL IS 131G I3USINESS these days. It uses a lot of.the taxpayer's dollar—but not enough. After all, it deals with a .precious possession. CHILDREN. School is a :cooperative business. Everyone has an interest in the produ•:t. The product will be as good as the cooperation. In closing -I would like to take this opportunity to ex- press my appreciation for the cooperation I have reeeived from the Yarmouth School Board. Superintendent, parents 170 and my co-workers the teachers (a- grand group). Respectfully submitted, ROBERT A. BRAGG Elementary School Principal REPORT OF THE ,HIGH -SCHOOL LIBRARIAN Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Sehools Bass River, Massachusetts . - Dear Sir : 1 •am pleased to submit my second annual report as Librarian of• Yarmouth High School. It has been said that a library is so important to edu- cation that no school is complete without it. As librarian it has been a great privilege.to have a part in reorganizing this High School Library. During this year much progress has been made in ac- complishing the objectives set forth, in my last report. .With the help of Miss Mary ,Silva Consultant School Libraries and Work with Children and Young People, out of date material has been discarded and replaced with books. that are of recent date and of more value to the students in their research work. We now have a good foundation on which to build a model school library. • There has been a steady increase- in the number of students using the library for reference work. Daily student attendance varies from eighty-six to one hundred and fifty. Work on a new card catalogue was started in the spring and I continued this work through part of the summer. During the present school year all English classes have had one full period in the library where they have been taught something of the Dewey Decimal System, how books are arranged in all libraries and how to use the card eat- alogue. This library training will be of value to the students • not only through high school but also as they go on to college. A student library staff has been organized to assist in- ., .el llf11111LA 1.1.111ekaa.itral 171 - cataloguing and processing books and to learn all phases of library work. -pamphlet One of our aim::, this year is to increase our hurt file.

Students are en- couraged to express their opinions and hopes forfutitre business employment: or training. Many of the grad ti 172 of the Commercial Course have received remunerative em- ployment. I strongly feel and have discussed with em- ployers of high school graduates that such students who earnestly desire to secure employment are significant in this respect, for they are eager --to make good, to adhere to business routine, and they have. the important faculty of adaptability. High school business graduates are equip- • ped to maintain many phases of responsible positions if they desire to avail themselves of the opportunities offered to them in their training. My personal aim is to create in- terest in working toward the goal of employment and to maintain standards of business requireinents in their class work and to encourage those who desire training beyond high school. The following courses are available to students in the Commercial Course: Two years of Shorthand are offered. Complete theory is mastered and stress is placed on the "mailability" of a letter. Speed is maintained only to the point of accuracy. Students are receiving training in the latest method of Shorthand which is similar to that which is being offered in secretarial schools. Two years of Typewriting are offered and a special non - vocational year of typewriting to all Senior students de- siring it for personal use. This course is primarily designed to give a thorough knowledge of the operation of the type- writer and sufficient skill so that he may use it for his home, school, and social activities. Enrollment in this course has been appreciably increased. — --- In Typewriting 1, students receive training in the cor- rect technique, working toward speed and accuracy which is followed by business letter -writing, business forms, and varied typewritten material. Advanced Typewriting stu- dents receive a knowledge of the importance of legal docu- ments, for they have practice in typing wills, preparation of legal forms, Backing Sheets and Endorsements, Probate of Wills, etc. Experience is gained through the use of the Mimeograph, typing multiple copies by practice in filling in Bills. Invoices, Statements, and many other business x°.��',� �n�i� ,��x1I�71i rYl!Ir1iW�JWYri r i III 1 11 11 ;014 173 forms and papers. • All students -in Advanced Typewriting are supplied with individual working kits containing true work experiences which would be encountered in many offices. This same kit may be found in schools of advanced secretarial training. • General Business or Junior Business Training serves as an introduction and an understanding of the relationship • between business and daily life, for its objectives are per- sonal -use values as .well as social -economic. Emphasis is placed on exploratory and pre -vocational future oppor- tunities. ortance Bookkeeping develops a realization of the imp and necessity of properly keeping a set of books, and a gen- • oral knowledge of the form and content of these books are studied by the students. Information and attitudes of neat- ness, accuracy, orderliness, and system are objectives. of this subject, and they learn to evaluate and interpret records of aecounts. Senior Office Practice reviews and combines the skills. learned in the Commercial Course and knots it together as a whole. where individual ability and readiness for work and work habits are developed. Students receive training and use in the operation of the Victor Adding Machine, Sundstrand Electric Calculator, Friden Automatic Calculat- or, and the Ediphone. An electric typewriter as well as standard typewriters are provided for their use. They also receive a comprehensive course in Business Filing. • Certificates and awards are received by qualifying stu- dents in the skills of typewriting and shorthand. Modern textbooks are used, and equipment is checked periodically. It is iuy desire to see that each and every student of the Commercial Course of Yarmouth high School receives the finest training possible on -the Cape, and I wish to ex- press my sincere appreciation to Superintendent Alfred R. Kenyon and Principal Norman B. Dinsmore and every mem- ber of the faculty for their cooperation and assistance. Respectfully submitted, PRISCILLA M. TINKIIAM, Commercial Instructor 174 REPORT OF THE-PIIYSICAL EDUCATION DIRECTOR • Mr. Alfred. R; KenY-On — Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: 1 am pleased to submit my second annual report as director of physical education of the Yarmouth schools. Aims and General Objectives of the Program A. The Aim of Physical Education The- ultimate aim of physical education may well be to develop and educate the individual through exposure to and participation in wholesome and interesting physical activities, that he reach his maximum abilities both physi- cally and mentally, and will learn to use his powers intelli- gently and cooperatively as •a good citizen even under violent emotional stress. B. General Objectives of the Program 1. The development of fundamental skills in gym- nastic, rhythmic, and athletic activities for immediate physi- cal, mental and social purpose. 2. The development of useful and desirable .skills and interests suitable for leisure time use. 3. The development of a comprehensive knowledge and appreciation of rules, techniques, and strategies in the above activities. 4. The -develoPinent Of acceptable social Standards, appreciations and attitudes as the result of intensive par- ticipation in these activities in a good environment and un- der capable leadership. 5. The development of powers of observation, - analy- sis, judgment and decision through the medium of complex physical situations. 6. The development of the power of self expression and reasonable self confidence, by xnastery of difficult physi- cal, mental and social problems in supervised activities. 7. The development of leadership capacity by having t I t 175 each student within the limits of his ability assume .actual .responsibility forcertain activities under careful super- vision: THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM A. The High School Program The high school physical education program consists of three parts: (1) the service program, (2) the interschol- astic program, (3) the intra -scholastic program. . 1. The service program: I am very happy to state that since my last report we .have made great strides for- ward in this phase of our program. With the addition of our new physical education equipment, namely a side horse, parallel bar, horizontal bar and springboard, we have been able to greatly increase and diversify our program. The student reaction to this new equipment bas been more than gratifying. ' Accepting the undeniable need for good physical con- dition in the youth of our country and With a wary eye on the world situation in all of its ramifications, we have in- stituted a testing program. This program gives us a definite record of each boy's physical fitness and gives each student an appreciation and understanding of his own personal physical well being by comparison with his fellow students. These tests are given three times a year so that improve- ment may be made and noted. The main body of the program consists of football in the. fall, gymnastics, basketball and wrestling in the winter and softball and track in the spring. At feast part of .one period each week is devoted to formal calisthenics and marching,. 2. The interscholastic Program: The interscholastic program is well represented by football in the fall, basket - hall in. the winter and baseball and informal trackin the spring: It was particularly gratifying to see the football team outfitted in their new helmets and pants this past fall. 3. The lntrascholastic Program.: The intrascholastic program is greatly reduced due to our transportation prob- lem and lack of facilities as well as certain administrative 176 problems. However, we did have interclass games in bas- ketball, and will have theSn also in volleyball, softball and track. B. The ElementarySchool Program The 'elementary, school program at present involves only a service 'program. Perhaps when some of the other administrative and physical problems have been solved, the program may be expanded. At present, due to apparent time and perhaps facility limitations, there is, I feel, still a lack of adequate supervised physical education periods. Although I do have classes in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades twice a week, my capacity in the main is that of a supervisor. The individual elassroom teachers must carry most of the burden of instruction. This consists of simple games. relays and dances. I hope that some of these problems can be cleared. up in the near future so that a more definite and complete. elementary program can be set in motion. RECOMMENDATIONS A. That a definite plan of grouping individual physical education classes by grades be instituted, at the high school level. R. That more adequate and specific personnel arrange- ments be set up for elementary school physical education elasses in order that they receive definite instruction once each day. In closing, I wish to express my •.sincere appreciation to you. to the School Committee, and to my associates in both buildings for your support and cooperation. • Respectfully submitted, ROBERT L.

Activities which are. not based on .the pupil's • past expe- riences are not worthwhile and are not meaningful to him. The Art highlights of the past year, are as follows: 1. Yarmouth High School — An .Art exhibit for par- ents' night. Stained glass window backdrop for the Christ- mas Concert. 2. Yarmouth Junior High School — Murals depicting events leading to the Civil War and events of the Civil War for parents' night. 3. Yarmouth Elementary School — Art lessons and construction projects. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. RACKOW Art Supervisor REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF VOCAL MUSIC Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: • I hereby submit my second annual report as Vocal Music Supervisor in the Yarmouth schools. • Music is still in the process of being built up, as it will be for a few more years to come. Work has been planned according to the immediate needs of the children, always striving for the goal we anticipate their reaching in the future. As tithe passes the results will come closer to our expectations and the work and planning will become more consistent according to each level of work. Music is something easily used for many purposes and easily correlated with other subjects in the curriculum. Through correlation of subjects school work seems to be made a closer knit unit of activity. For example, the high 3 180 • school programs offered during the. year often involved not just music but also other departments as the Manual Arts for staging, the Commercial department for printing mat- ter. The Art department was instrumental in the painting of the stained glass windows used in the recent Christmas Concert. All of these experiences where there is a definite goal close enough for the student to see, tend to make school work more purposeful. The same idea is carried through in the elementary school where class work is augmented by programs and assemblies throughout the year, including an operetta. Experience sometimes teaches best; therefore, we try to give the students opportunity to learn by doing. Some of the activities accomplished this year are as follows: (1) February, girls from the glee club were sent to Worcester to take part in the Massachusetts All -State High Sehool Chorus. (An experience not easily forgotten as it afforded the girls an opportunity to see how similar groups in other schools work, and to sing under one of the country's 'top choral conductors.) What was learned in those three days of rehearsals and concert was brought home and ap- plied to our work here. (2) May, a Pops Concert presented in the same manner as the traditional "Pops". (3) October, Talent Night — a show which was the result of student ideas and planning. M. December, a Christmas Concert of Sacred Music. For this, the glee club was dressed in the new choir robes of school colors, green and white, which added much to the performance. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all who have worked with me and for their efforts and cooperation. It is only through everyone's cooperation that a school can reach its aim in education. • Respectfully submitted, MARTHA A.

The new building is a welcome addition for the elementary grades, giving the health program a much need- ed room for physical examinations, clinics etc. This will greatly increase the efticiency of the health work.

These include exam- inations of the heart, .throat, feet, weight, etc., as 'well as thorough examinations of pupils participating in school athletics. . Any physical defect found or special problem needing medical attention has been reported to the parents. Many of these reports to parents have been followed by home visits. A large number of health examinations have been given throughout the year to pupils between the ages of 14-16 vho have been desirous of working after school hours, Sat- urdays and other times when school is not in session. This is done in 'compliance with the General. Laws Relating to Education, Chapter 149, Section 87, (3) which states that a certificate must be signed by a "school or family physician, or by a physician appointed by the school committee, stating that the child has been thoroughly examined by said physi- cian, and in his opinion is in sufficiently sound health and physically able to perform the work which the child intends to-do." The majority of these examinations were given during the summer months. Emergency calls for accidents occurring while school was in session and requiring medical attention have been answered and taken care of as soon as possible. Numerous examinations have been made of children returning to school, after absence due to a contagious dis- ease. who have not secured from their family physicians or the Board of Health the certificate of health required by State Law as set forth in Chapter 71, Section 55 of the General Laws Relating to Education which says, in part, that "A child returning to school after having been absent on account of infection or exposure to a contagious disease - shall present a certificate from the board of health or its duly appointed agent that the danger of conveying such dis- ease has passed, provided, that if such. a child returns to L .1.112110 imam CIO OW 184 school without such a certificate, after having been absent on account of such infection or exposure, he shall immediate- ly be referred to a school physician for examination, and: if it is found by such physician, upon such examination, that -such danger has passed, he may remain at school." Cooperation on the part of the school nurse, the Super- intendent of Schools, teachers and parents has been excel- lent. • Respectfully submitted, HERMON E.

Acting under Article 4 Mr. Roger G: Edwards reported for the School Committee regarding -the housing of a home Economics Program by reading a letter as follows:— Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon May 9, 1952 Superintendent of Schools 39 Dear Mr. Kenyon:— This is to confirm the details of my conference with you and Mr. Dinsmore on April 30th relative to laboratory facilities for a possible Ilome Economies Program in the future. As there is no adequate space -available at present in the high school building. it would seem to ane that no de- rision should be made regarding the Housing of a Home Economics Program until plans have been made and agreed upon for the housing of the entire high school program. It would he a mistake to invest several thousand dollars in fixing up a room .which would be inadequate or not the hest facilities within a few years' time. - Yon mentioned the possibility of excavating and build- ing a Homemaking Laboratory under the present assembly hall. 1 am sure a very satisfactory all -Purpose Homemaking Laboratory could be provided in this location if that seems the wisest move after considering the entire high school__ situation. This space might better be converted into a manual training shop or general shop for the boys. In this case, the present manual training rooms could be remodeled and • made into satisfactory homemaking laboratories. 1 believe that no decision should be made regarding the Homemaking facilities until the facilities for the entire high school pro- gram have been carefully worked out. If at some future date you would like to have me meet. with yon and Mr. Dinsmore abain, I should be glad to work with you regarding the Homemaking facilities.. Sincerely yours, Caroline H. Wilson, Supervisor • I-Iousehold Arts Education Acting under Article 5 a motion was duly made and seeonded as recommended by the Finance Committee to appropriate or transfer from available funds in -the Treas- ury the sum of $10,000.00 said sum to he used with funds of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the purpose of 1 i 1 11 . .ilia 1 40 dredging a section of Parker's River, the material to be • deposited between the jetties on Nantueket Sound said sum to be provided by transferring the sum of $6,000.00 from the shore erosion account and appropriating $4,000.00 from the Surplus Revenue Account.

The receipts, as -recorded, were checked with the treasurer's books, while the recorded pay- ments were compared- with the treasurer's cash book and with the treasury warrants. The appropriations and trans- fers, as entered, were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and with the finance committee's records of transfers authorized from the reserve fund. A trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of August 23, 1952. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The cash book additions were veri- fied and the recorded receipts were compared with the ac- counting officer's books, with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town, and with other sources from which money is paid into the town treasury. The recorded paymeuts were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds and with the accounting officer's records. The cash balance on August 23, 1952 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements fur- nished by the banks of deposit. The payments on account of maturing debt and in- terest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The unpaid coupons were reconciled with statements fur- nished by the.banks in which such funds are deposited. The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the several trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved and all transactions and balances were verified and checked with the books of the accounting officer. 73 The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and.cbecked it detail: The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the - collector's records and the accounting officer's books, the reported redemptions and sales were *checked with the treasurer's cash book, the disclaimers and foreclosures were verified, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed, proved, and compared with the records at the Reg- istry of Deeds.

The balances, as shown on the individual employees' cards, were listed and reconciled with the cash in the special bank accounts as of August 23, 1952. The books and accounts of the collector were examined and checked.

Blanchard Physical Education Instrumental Music Vocal Music Art It is the fundamental right of the people in a town to know what their schools are trying to accomplish, what their schools have, need and lack in order to carry on their work; and how well they are .succeeding in their purpose. 89 The following data, statistics and reports have been pre- sented to tell the people facts concerning the adequacy of our school system. To measure the present is not partic- ularly difficult but determination of the future needs is not always simple because it involves reading the future with accuracy and no one can do that with the certainty that his forecasts will be correct. For instance, we can obtain detailed data of what is now true and what _has been true in the past concerning such factors as birth rates, residential developments, changes in population, broadening educational concepts, and other statistics; but, we cannot always foretell how and when these may be altered and, so, in our report we have confined our remarks mostly to facts rather than to predictions. In the few instances when we have been com- pelled to look into the future we have first established the need in terms of the most reliable and complete information that we could obtain. The citizens of the Town of Yarmouth believe in edu- cation and recognize the importance of good schools. - They have always been proud of their educational system and because of their interest they are entitled to complete re- ports of the progress of their schools. They have demon- strated their interest in material ways by supporting worth- while school projects and by never failing to appropriate sufficient funds to operate their school system. PUPILS ARE BEST PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICERS Our_ schools are full of human interest and the inci- dents that occur in our classrooms are often the subject of conversations in the home. What the children thank about the teacher and about their school has more to do with what the parents think about the school. than any other factors. Children see all, hear all and are not hesitant to tell all. Almost every day, in every home of every school_ child, remarks are made by the child about the school which make a deep impression on the parents. Genuine consid- eration for the pupils' welfare in school by someone around. the school is almost certain to pay dividends because kind- ness pays huge profits and this is especially true when the kindness is shown to the other fellows. children. . NO -SCHOOL SIGNAL It will be the policy of. the School Connuittee to close school only in eases of extreme weather conditions. Many pupils are transported to school and 'conditions in the several parts of the town may vary so that it may be diffi- cult to reach a decision that is equally fair to all pupils. Therefore, when it has been decided to keep the schools open ou stormy days, parents .are. urged .to exercise their personal judgment as to the wisdom of sending their chil- dren to school. The No -School report will be given, through the cour- tesy of the management of WOCB as soon as the station comes on the air• on the day in question. • AGE OF ADMISSION TO SCHOOL Any ehild five years and eight months on or before September 1. may he admitted to the first grade but in every case the admission of children under six years of age should he dependent upon the fitness of the child to profit by the work of the school. Pupils under seven years of age who • have not previously attended school, shall not be permitted to eater later than thirty days after the opening of school in September. • SCIIOOL ATTENDANCE Every child between seven and sixteen years of age who does not ,meet the requirements for the completion of the sixth grade of the: public schools shall atfeud day sehool in this town or some other day school approved by the School Committee, during the entire time that the schools are in session unless the physical or mental condi- tion of the child is such as -to render attendance inexpedient • or impracticable. 91 EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATE iris Employment permits may be issued to boy:`andg between the ager: of 14 and 16 to work only when the ;ehools are not in session. Educational\ certificates for . boys and girls between the ages of 16 and 21 may be issued - at the office of the.. Superintendent of Schools inthe Johmum Simpkins high School building. Personal. app licationbe made and evidence of date and place f birth and grade of school last completed must be presented. RESOLUTIONS ON RETIREMENT Whereas. Miss F. Eloise Baker, teacher tinethe wwYar- mouth Elementary- School Yarmouth, e retirement became effective July 1, 1952, has taught in the Public Schools of the Town of Yarmouth since February 12. 1912 and - \Vbereas. Miss -Raker has dedicated her life to the cause of education, and Whereas, the School Committee of the Town of Yar- mouth, recognizes that Miss Baker has served efficiently the interests of the Yarmouth Schools be it Resolved that the Yarmouth School Committee express to Miss Baker its appreciation of her devotion to her pro- fession. and extend to Miss Baker sincere best wishes for her future happiness and cause these sentiments to be writ- ten in its records and send her a copy of these•resolutions. ENROLLMENT TRENDS The Yarmouth Elementary School population has con- tinued to increase each year beyond .all possible expecta- tions. We are using fourteen rooms in our nen building and present trends indicate that it will be necessary to use the room located under the 11toi1Weth facilities room isaanitional ex el - class room this coming � it was not designed lent auxiliary room for library purposes or planned for a regular class room. In 'brief,.unless there is an immediate migration of people with children from the Town of Yarmouth. elementary . school space is again 1 92 inadequate. Within five years this inadequacy will be felt in the High School. The Town is (again) faced with providing more Ele- mentary space now. Within five years the Town will be faced with providing more High School space to accommo- date just the Yarmouth High School population. In view of these facts, Yarmouth is faced with provid- ing two school additions within the nextfew years. However, there is a way out of this problem which would reduce the financial cost to the town and at the same time offer excellent high school facilities. I recommend at some time in the near future that a regional committee from the Towns of Yarmouth and Den- nis be formed in accordance with the laws of the General Court governing such a committee for the purpose of studying and planning for a regional high school for the Towns of Yarmouth and Dennis. A regional high school would release floor space now used by the high school for our expanding elementary School population. The State is at present offering 61% of the building costs of regional schools. REPAIRS ACCOMPLISHED•. Sewage pumps overhauled. Ilot water storage tank replaced.

The Administration The usual faculty changes have resulted in adjust- ments in. ,several departments. Most beneficial of these has been the "unification of the science and mathematics departments, now under the direction of Mr. Muir and Mr. Daggett: respectively. The school department has been most fortunate in its replacement of teachers with_ the faculty, being unusually .strong as a result. A real start has been made in the long range plan to expand and improve the permanent record system. New in- dividual 'permanent folders suitable to the school's par- ticular needs have been devised and are now being put into use. When finished, there will be on file a complete case history of very pupil who attends the school. This, together with the permanent scholastic record of each pupil, will furnish vital data for cinder -graduate guidance purposes as well as for post -graduate reference. This task is being carried out under the direction of Mr. Eckley, guidance counselor. - In accordance with the wishes of the last Town Meet- ing, sewing classes have been resumed this year and are being most successfully conducted by Miss Piscopo, newly elected instructor. To provide space for these classes, the teachers' room was moved to a basement room. Facilities are now adequate for small sewing classes, but it is hoped that action will eventually be taken to provide space for a complete home economics program. Driver Education It is gratifying to report that the school department has arranged for the inauguration of a course in driver - education in conjunetion with the State Department of Motor Vehicles. The course, which will be offered in the near future, will be a complete program in that it will consist of classroom instruction together with actual driv- -t- 98. ing experience in a dual -control car which is to be made available to the school. Regular faculty members -will be certified to conduct the program. . Recommendations . - It is expected, in view of the relatively small graduat- ing classes and the increasingly large entering classes, that an additional teacher will be needed another year to care for extra sections of several classes. Emphasis is again placed, as in previous reports, on the continued need for expanded facilities in the vocational program. It is to be hoped that some plan.may be approv- ed whereby the shop department may be adequately ex- panded and housed, as well as a complete home -making program . introduced. • In closing may I express my sincere appreciation to you. also to the School Committee and to the school faculty for their continued cooperation. - Respectfully submitted, NORMAN B. DINSMORE Yarmouth High School Principal REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools' Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir : I herein submit my third .;annual report as principal of Yarmouth Elementary School. At the elementary school the staff.. and I endeavor to construct and put into operation a program of education which will provide the children of the town the best oppor- tunities to acquire the basic skills andcompetenciesthat will develop intelligent citizens. r'n m.a__,_;+,- aa.__ _____ . OCi.s U. 1.1h 9n 11 I 99 - We believe. that children have a greater need than ever before for -competence in the "Three R's". Many par- ents feel children should develop these skills only to the same extent and in the same way as practiced in schools of their day. We wonder if they don't forget that living today makes more exaetiug demands on individuals. Chil- dren need skill in reading beyond the mere calling of words. Spelling skills must be more than just the ability to pass the test on Friday. The mere manipulation of numbers is not enough, understanding must be a part of the program if arithmetic is :to have lasting value. . Pupils in school today must develop skills and abilities in the ".Three..R's" which are necessary for living in today's world. Contrary to popular belief the children taught by modern methods today outstrip their parents and grand- parents in the "Three R's", when achievement tests at. given grade levels then and now are compared. 'Yarmouth Elementary School carries on a basic testing program and the 1952 testings showed the pupils of the school as a -whole above the medium. In order that our pupils niay continue to measure up and exceed these standards we attempt to practice the following five known facts about growth and learning: 1. A child must progress from one stage of learning to the next at his own rate as growth within any one child is orderly. 2. Teachers need to understand the social, emo- tional and physical aspects of the children as well as the mental abilities as growth involves the whole child. 3. Every child should he given tasks he can undertake with reasonable success. 4. Learning to be really effective must take place in a functional setting. Children need to feel a need for the activity in which they are engaging. 5. Important to growth is the •opportunity to select rich and varied activities of exploring, investigating, experiment- ing and manipulating that meet their needs. 6. A sense of security is necessary .for real learning. Following are a few of the innumerable activities we l00 earry on in our effort to develop intelligent citizens of your children: New and up to date textbooks are as of this -ate in use in Arithmetic, Spelling, Science and Music. These books include excellent lesson plans and ideas for the teacher. pupil books and for the most part workbooks. The music program is complete with music supervisor, pupil books and records. Our new and improved reading system including all of the publishers materials (often not purchased by schools) are in use in grades 1-2-4 and 5. Next fall the third grade will have the same system. Language is now carried on by means of individual lessons by the teachers supplemented by a workbook. Dur- ing the fall and winter of this year the teachers and the principal will study the material available in this field with the plan to put new materials in the hands of the pupils in the fall of 1953. Basic books such as these provide a systematic pro- gram for all pupils. The school library has been increased to about eight hundred volumes. The library is manned by pupil li- brarians and the principal. - The cafeteria, another important link in the chain of activities important to child development, is serving by actual count twice as many main. meals as -when the school opened two years ago. A number of field trips have been taken such as the fourth grade to Plymouth, the sixth grade to the bird banding station and the. third grade to West Wholesale house. The second Annual Open House for Pre -School Chil- dren was held at which time the children were registered for the fall term. In June, the Operetta "Behind Castle Walls" was presented by the pupils of the school. Miss Mary O'Rourke, Superintendent of Elementary 101 Education for Massachusetts, visited school in September and met with the teachers. • Grade One instituted a series of Party -Conferences for parents of pupils in that grade. At Christmas time, a group of pupils presented a group of songs over the WOCB Radio Station. The School Safety Patrol continued its fine job inside and out of the school building. In closing, may I take this opportunity to thank you and the Yarmouth School Board for your .assistance and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Robert A. Bragg Elementary School Principal REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN During the 1952 school year, all the routine physical examinations have been taken care of. These include ex- aminations of the heart, throat, feet, weight, etc., as well as thorough examinations of pupils participating in school athletics. Any physical defect found or special problem needing medical attention has been reported to the parents. Many of these reports to parents have been followed by home visits. A large number of health examinations have been given throughout the year of pupils between the ages of 14-16 who have been desirous of working after school hours. Saturdays and other times when school is not in session. This is done in compliance with the General Laws Relating to Education. Chapter 149, Section 87, (3) which states that a certificate must be signed by a "school or family. physician, or by a physician appointed by the school –committee, stating that the child has been thoroughly sm 1 102 examined by said physician, and in his opinion is in suth-• cieutly sound health and physically able to perform the work which the child intends to do." The majority of these examinations were given during the summer months. Emergency calls for .accidents occurring while school was in session and requiring medical attention have been answered and taken care of as soon as possible. • Numerous examinations have- been made of children returning to -school, after absence due to a contagious disease; who have not secured from their family physicians or the Board of Health the certificate of health required by State Law as set forth in Chapter 71, Section .55 of the General Laws Relating to Education which says, in part, that "A -child returning to school after having been -absent - on account of infection or exposure to a contagious disease shall present a certificate from the board of health or its duly appointed agent that the danger of conveying such disease has passed, provided, that if such a child returns to school without such a certificate, after having been ab- sent on account of such infection or exposure, he shall immediately be referred to a school physician for examina- tion, and, if it is found by such physician, upon such examination, that such danger has passed, he may remain at school." Co-operation on the part of the school nurse, the Super- — intendent of Schools, teachers and parents has been ex- cellent. Respectfully submitted, HERMON E. HOWES, M. D.

REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARIAN Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon . Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I am pleased to subunit my third annual report as Librarian of Yarmouth High School. The more modern methods of teaching make more and more use of library reference, therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for students to learn to use, the library efficiently if they are to be successful. This is es- pecially true of those who plan to go to college. With the beginning of this currentschool year a course of library instruction was started for all English classes. Two of the Freshman English classes have received instruction one period a week for six weeks. They have been taught how_ to use all the library tools — i.e. dictionaries. encyclopedias, card catalog, Readers' Guide to Periodieal Literature and various specialized but useful reference books. The text- book "Find it Yourself" is used as a guide. The third Freshman English class will receive the same instruction during the next semester. Junior and Senior English classes will also have special library lessons during the last.- half of the year. • There are nine students ou the library staff each one assisting in the library two or three periods a week. They help in cataloging, processing and circulating books and 105 learn all phases of library work. This instruction is vain- able to therm and also allows the librarian more time to assist pupils with reference work. In November the staff gave a tea for the members of the faculty. During the last year, the card catalog has been com-• pleted and kept up to date as new books have been added. This work has been done with the .help of the student li- brary staff. Each year, as new material is added, the library in- creases in value as a source of reference. There has been an increase in circulation and attendance due to the new hooks added during the past year. Books circulated since January 1, 1952, total 3559. Of these, 1363 were non-fiction and 2196 fiction. Magazines loaned, total 165. Daily attendance during the current school year has registered as much as 194 with an average daily attendance of 118. Our aim is still to increase our pamphlet collection which would be a valuable help to pupils' in research work and for this we need a,steel file. Because of the constant use of the encyclopedias one new set should be added each year to replace the worn out and the out dated sets. There are also several specialized reference books that we need this year. In closing, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to you, to the -school committee, to Mr. Norman B. Dins- more, Principal, and to every member of the faculty for their support and cooperation.. Respectfully submitted. Marguerite Garland Librarian 106 REPORT OF THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Mr._ Alfred R. Kenyon - Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: It is a privilege to again have the opportunity to sub mit this report on the Commercial Department of Yarmouth High School. I am personally proud of the development of the department to the extent that many students have been successfully employed, and it is our goal to continue to provide skill, attitude, and knowledge to all students Who wish to secure immediate permanent employment after graduation ; also, to prepare those students who desire to continue their business course in business schools and col- leges. I have contacted employers for the purpose and evalua- tion of the diseussion of technical training, observing re- actions. suggestions, criticisms. and eomments which may be inculcated into the curriculum of the Commercial Course for the benefit of all undergraduates. Not only am I in- terested that deserving students secure • employment, but that they- are able to retain their positions, are able to ad- vance, assume .responsibilities, and receive adequate re- muneration. Some students have obtained and held posi- tions of their choice off the Cape. The department will al- . ways be flexible in its attitude and adjustments to meet the requirements and standards of the offices that employ Yarmouth graduates. It is gratifying and I am personally pleased that there continues to be an increased interest and enrollment in the department. Student's attending business and secretarial schools for further training have found a similarity between their subjects in high school and the business schools; some cours- es are identical. All students are encouraged to be of service. to all members of the .faculty- and personnel of Yarmouth High 107 School and to aid in :creating good will. This effective learning experience insures the practicability- of the sub- ject matter studied. but it is not allowed to interfere with their regular program.. of training. The, following subjects are available to students in the Commercial Course : Two years of the latest method of Shorthand are offered. Complete theory is mastered and stress is placed on the "mailability" of a letter. Two years of Typewriting are offered, and one year of personal typewriting for Seniors who wish to acquire a thorough knowledge of the operation of a typewriter and sufficient skill for personal use. In the first year of typewriting students receive train- ing in the correct technique; speed and accuracy are en- couraged, and there is experience in actual business letters and various typewritten material. Advanced Typewriting increases speed and accuracy and applies the skill to actual business experiences with the use of the Mimeograph and printed business forms. General Business or Junior Business Training provides a basic foundation for the development of an understand- ing between business and daily life with emphasis placed nn exploratory and pre -vocational future opportunities. Bookkeeping develops a realization of the importance and necessity of properly keeping a set of books, and a general knowledge of the form and content of these books is studied. Senior Office l'raetice students receive training and use in the operation of two Victor Adding Machines, Sund- strand Electric Calculator, Friden Automatic Calculator, and the Ediphone. They receive a comprehensive course in Business Filing similar to that offered in secretarial schools. The department has recently acquired a new Royal Electric Typewriter. . The maintenance of the excellent equipment enables and encourages students to do their best; modern text - hooks and supplementary materials are used, and certifi- ij 11 i 108. . cater and awards are received by students demonstrating skill, in shorthand and typewriting. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Superin- tendent Alfred R. Kenyon and Principal Norman B. Dins- more and every member of the faculty and personnel for their cooperation and. assistance. Respectfully submitted, Priscilla M. Tinkham Commercial Instructor REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION DIRECTOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River. Massachusetts Dear Sir: I am pleased to submit my first annual report as direc- tor of physical education of the Yarmouth Schools. Physical Education in the Yarmouth School System "A healthy mind exists only in 'a healthy body." This classical principle is, very obviously, the foundation upon which any physical educational program must be based. Au educational institution concerned only with the scholar- ly interests of its students and their mental development is truly a short-sighted one. Curriculums designed solely- for the wind or for that matter curriculums designed solely for the body- result in misfits for society. The minds are accompanied to the school by bodies and it is the job of the physical education instructor to exercise and care for these bodies. The body development program for the school children of Yarmouth has been placed in my hands and it is the purpose of this report to give a brief description of the curriculum which I have set up. The first half of each physical education class is de- voted to the fundamental and primary purpose of physical 109 education — body exercise and development. 1 conduct a series of formal calisthenics, each exercise designed for some particular part of the body. Arm, leg, stomach, back, and neck exercises are alternated along with a generous portion of movements to aid in breathing. Realizing that soon after graduation my students, willingly or unwillingly are going to bear arms for our country I attempt to bring into the first part of the period as much military indoctrina- tion as possible. I arrange the students in columns and squads and give my exercise in a military cadence. The second half of my gym classes are devoted to organized games especially those in which large numbers can partici- pate. These intramural contests .are responsible for the many by-products of a physical education program. Attri- butes such as good sportsmanship, self-control, self-reli- ance. courage, group spirit, social relationship, as well as a further development of bodily grace, strength and stamina. Although the facilities and equipment for a physical education program in Yarmouth are 'more than adequate if not excellent, I am faced in my program with what I consider two major problems. 1. The inclusion of. all classes in uiy secondary groups. 2. The combination of both sexes in my inter- mediate groups. Obviously, each age group has a level of ability and matur- ity. In my secondary gym classes, I have four age groups and it is proven difficult to select and conduct activities which, on the one hand, do not overtax the physical stam- ina of the freshmen -and yet, on the other, furnish sufficient exercise and interest for the seniors. f feel that much bet- ter results could be worked out whereby freshmen and sophomores are in one gym class. and juniors and seniors in another. As for the second problem, tests have shown that the interests of boys and girls, even at the_ fourth grade level are not the same. Themain difference in interest seems 3 to be in that the boys are much more interested in the more highly organized sports. The girls are interested in sports, but -not to the same extent as the boys. The girls seem to have more interest than the boys in rhythmical activities. With these intermediate groups, I have attempted to select games of a low organizational type which appeal to the interest of both boys and girls. • In•closing, I would like to thank the school authorities, Mr. Kenyon and Mr. Dinsmore, along with my fellow teach- ers for the wonderful help and cooperation that has been extended to the Physical Education Department. Respectfully submitted, John A. Hollingsworth, Jr. Director of Physical Education REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION INSTRUCTOR FOR GIRLS Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools - - Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I herewith submit my annual report as Physical Edu- cation Instructor for girls in the Yarmouth Schools. The Physical Education Program of the past year pro- vided many opportunities for controlled participation in activities which have resulted in wholesome attitudes and a keener appreciation of the individual's responsibility to society. The program provided equal opportunity for each participant to develop to the highest possible physical fit- ness according to the individual's needs. Lastly, the Girls Physical Education Program attempt- ed to develop skills in activities and favorable attitudes to - 111 ward play that would carry over in later life. The following activities were' ineluded : Physical Activity. Calisthenics Apparatus Dance Festival (Elementary),; Gaines Hockey - - Badminton Basketball Softball Massachusetts Games for Elementary Ball throwing and catching in Primary Grades Athletics Junior and Senior High Intramural and Interscholastic Respectfully submitted, Geraldine Hill Physical_Education Instructor for Girls REPORT OF THE ART -SUPERVISOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts I submit my report as Art Supervisor for the Brewster. Yarmouth and Dennis School Union: A. PROGRESS 1: Interest is excellent in the first six grades and is improving in the 7th and 8th grades. 2. Work in all grades with basic materials at hand. Pencils -crayons and cut -paper. 1 112 3. Experimenting with basic materials and new uses or limitations. 4. Identify in g sounds .1 and transferring to paper. 5. Learning some basic rules. B. OBJECTIVES FOR ALL GRADES 1. To foster an interest in basic and new mediums. 2. To foster an interest in art itself. 3. To encourage creation not perfection. 4. To encourage the proper use of tools and art lan- guage. 5. To use more sounds, music or otherwise to create original pieces of art. 6. To make art classes more attractive to grades 9 through 12 by including guidance in Fine Art. Commercial Art, Graphic Arts and Cartooning. Respectfully submitted, Alfred E. Blanchard Art Supervisor REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: Flutophone classes have been started in each of the third grades, the purpose of which is to develop digital dexterity, and an understanding of the fundamentals of music. From grade four through six, new instrumentalists were started, and these groups will soon be in the band which is made up of last year's. members. The instrumental groups started last year arenow quite advanced, and many of them will be in the high school band next year.— In ear._In high school, the band is progressing, and will be greatly increased by next year with new :members from Yarmouth and Dennis Elementary Schools. All of these new members will have had a minimum of two years of lessons and band experience. For the future, I hope to enlarge upon the elementary school program, and in the high school to develop a con- cert as well as a marching band. Respectfully submitted, Richard G. LaPorte, Jr. Supervisor, Instrumental Music REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF VOCAL MUSIC Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: I submit my first report as Supervisor of Vocal Music in the Yarmouth School System: In the elementary school, I have ordered and received all the .manuals, records, guide books, etc., that accompany the music books. With these aids, it has been possible for the teachers and myself to plan and achieve a thor- oughly integrated music program. For example, a teacher may wish to teach a certain song in the book, the accom- paniment book not only has the accompaniment for this particular song, but also the technical information the teacher must—have in order. to present the song correctly, as well as helpful suggestions in motivating interest in the children for that particular song. Then there are records of the songs, to give children added enjoyment, by hearing them sung well and clearly by professional singers. We have put on various musical programs for the public in the 11 , 114 auditorium and over the radio. In the Spring we plan to present the operetta "Hansel and Gretel." ' In the Junior High School, it is planned to present -an operetta in the Spring. The High School Glee Club has already made its debut to the public when it presented the Christmas Concert on December 18. We are planning a Pops Concert in the Spring, as well as other concerts from time to time. Respectfully submitted, Nancy Namaksy Supervisor of Vocal Music REPORT OF THE SEWING DEPARTMENT Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools . Bass River, Massachusetts • Dear Sir: I submit my report as Sewing Teacher in the Yarmouth • School System: The Sewing Department at the High School has been re-established this year. Many more girls than had been anticipated expressed an interest. in the course, and a desire to show their creative ability in this.field. That the students know good style, and are aware of fashion trends, is almost as important as being perfection- ists •in their handwork. The girls will learn the fundamentals of sewing, as well as learning the finishing touches which mark the dif- ference between home made and hand made. Respectfully submitted, Anita M.

Gallons of water pumped Stock on hand estimated value _ Number of Services installed• Most of this report will be devoted to Water Depart- ment problems. As a result of - our continued - growth, the Water De- partment, in common with practically every other one on Cape Cod, finds itself confronted with serious problems. During July of this year, drought and a record break- ing number of visitors to.the Cape, brought peak demands to the Water Department. Our pumps ran nearly 20 con- secuti\=e days without stopping, which mens that we must increase our pumping capacity in order to meet a demand which will expand and enlarge every year• that. building in town continues. Our big problem is to meet the de»aud present for the three summer months, and our system must be, for,those three months, equivalent to a water system in a•city nearly 7 to 10 times our year round population. The Water Commissioners have taken the folioavein action this year to meet the problem. First, noti- fied the Barnstable Fire District that we can no longer guarantee to supply water to them, and have told them that our contract with them, which expires Jau. 1, 1953 will not be renewed. Ilowever, we -are morally -obligated to supply them with water until they have installed their owl) pumping station. Secondly, we have retained the Firm of Whitman & iloward as engineering Consultants, and with the approval 132 of the Finance Committee. we advertised for bids and en- tered into a contract with the D..L. Maher company for the driving of test wells. Approximately a dozen wells were driven adjacent to Camp St. and on the northern end of Abel's Road. and the quality and quantity of the water was tested. This is the status of the work at the writing of this report. Between now and Town meeting, the Engineers will have made recommendations, and there will undoubtedly be an article in the Town warrant asking for a large-sum-- of arge-sum -of money to do the work needed. • GERALD 0.

HOMER,• Highway Surveyor BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE REPORT To the Board of Selectmen Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: The public assistance program is supervised by the Board of Public Welfare with the administrative- work handled by a staff of Civil service employees consisting of an agent, social worker and clerk. All cases must be in- vestigated by the agent or social worker according to rules and regulations set up by the. Massachusetts _Department of Public Welfare. Regular grants are paid directly to the recipients twice monthly and authorized special needs are paid directly to the vendors. Old A,ge Assistance, Dis- ability Assistance and General Relief eases must be visited at least everj> six months, and Aid to Dependent Children eases every three months. These visits are mandatory to establish continued eligibility and to ascertain that all needs in accordance with State standards are adequately provided. Included in the Soeial Security law is a provi- sion for fair hearing, which means that in all categories. with the. exception of General Relief an applicant or re - 135 eipient has the right to appeal directly to the State Depart- ment regarding decisions made by the local office. Signed . WILLIAM P. FROST Chairman Board of Public Welfare Old Age Assistance • Basic eligibility requirements for this category are: the applicant in need of relief and support must be a -citizen, 65 years of -age or over. and shall.have resided in the com- monwealth at least three years of the nine•years preceding application including one year of continuous residence im- mediately preceding date of application. A new law effec- tive Jannary 1. 1952 stakes it necessary for persons re- ceiving aid under, tris category to accept a lien on what- ever interest they may have in any real estate, and .recov- eries trust be made in accordance with the statute which allows certain exemptions. The proceeds realized are ap- portioned among the Federal government, the common- wealth and the town furnishing assistance -in proportion to the amount of their. respective contributions. For 1952 an average ease load of 96 cases monthly re- ceived total payment, of *92,577.89 Which consisted of $74,517.44 regular grants and $18,060.-15 special needs. Fed- eral reimbursement of this expenditure is $35,486.50 and State •reimbursemetrt is .*43.245.90. The settlement law allowed us to bill other cities and towns -$1206.51 and necessitated our paying *1,009.51. This leaves the sum of $13,648.49 as a direct cost to the town of Yarmouth for Old Age Assistance. The Federal share of this expenditure is paid into a revolving feud which is used currently. State reimbursement goes hack into the General Find as an esti- mated receipt. Aid to Dependent Children This category is established for children (under the age of 16. or between 16 and 18 years of age and regu- • larly attending school) who have been deprived of normal 136 support or care due to death, other separation or long term illness• of either parent. Another factor of eligibility is one year's residence in the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts. In addition to the eligible children the needs of the parent and brothers and sisters under 21 years of age are considered. The Federal Social Security Act pertaining to Aid to Dependent Children was amended and called for a State Plan effective July 1, 1952 providing for prompt notice to law enforcement officials of the furnishing of Aid to Dependent Children to a child who had been deserted or abandoned by a parent: Although this law did not affect our ease load it did reduce the amount of some grants, since court orders were issued compelling these parents to contribute toward the support of their children. In 1952 total payments for this category were $18,477.51 of which .$17,369.85 was regular grants and $1,107.66 was for special needs. Federal reimbursement amounted to $7,610.43 and State reimbursement was $6,155.83. Place of settlement is not considered. There remained a direct cost to the town of Yarmouth of $4,711.25. Disability Assistance Eligibility requirements for this category are more rigid and detailed than for any other category. The pri- mary reason is that the needy applicant must be perma- nently and totally disabled as determined by . the State Medical Review Team, who base their decision on the find- ings presented by the patient's physician and the social data submitted by the local Welfare office. If the deter- mination is made that the applicant is not . eligible under this category this case must be added to the General Belief caseload. Other factors of eligibility are that the applicant in need of assistance must be 18 years of age or over and shall have resided in the commonwealth for one year imme- diately preceding the date of application. Total payments for 1952 amounted to $9,896.53, of which $3,739.80 was for regular grants and $6,156.73 was for special needs. In this category- of assistance special needs amount to considerably more than the cash payments because the disabled person must often be maintained in a nursing home and requires a great deal of medical atten- tion. Federal reimbursement amounted to $2,331.25 and State reimbursement was $4,644.81, leaving a direct cost to the town of $2.920.47. General Relief This type of assistance continues to be important to take care of those persons who are not eligible for any other category or until such time as eligibility has been established. It also provides relief when emergency need. arises because of temporary unemployment or illness: There are no eligibility factors for General Relief other than need itself. The type of aid ranges 'from a single food order to nursing home care at $35 a week or hospital :care at $12 a day plus necessary surgical and other medical care. The amount spent for General, Relief in 1952 was $4,266.62, of which $1,567.66 was paid to other cities and towns for aid rendered to Yarmouth settled cases. In return we received from other cities and towns $1,174.69, leaving a direct cost of $3.091.93. -- "TGere is no Federal reimbursement for expenditures under General Relief, but the State reimburses the entire amount for unsettled cases.

After our extensive trapping pro- gram throughout the summer months we made our final report to the Department of Conservation, that no catches were made in the Town of Yarmouth. Late in December we made a survey of the areas around these traps, searching for any possible egg clusters that might have been attracted by our traps but had not been caught. The results of this survey we are happy to report were that none were found. Our tent caterpillar situation was worse this year, our checkup finding slightly more than 500 nests along our highways. As we are keeping a year to year tally, we will keep them under our control and not allow them to get out of hand. All Town highways weresprayed, and in some cases Y. resprayed for the control of 'the woodtiek. We find that this kept the:insect population at a minimum and is a very worthwhile project. This year we again sprayed during the early morning hours and again in. the evening. Many residents were in question as to whether we were doing our job, as they had not seen us in operation. As all of the village streets were sprayed between the morning hours of 5 A.M. and 7:30 A.M. we were able to do our work without interruption. This time of spraying is the general practice all *over the state. This year your Moth Superintendent was re-elected President of the Southeastern Massachusetts Tree Wardens and Moth Superintendents Association. This_ of _course I feel is a credit to our town- and am honored. At these • meetings, held monthly we have top rate speakers plus movies and slides giving us valued information concerning our work. These meetings are usually held at the Bourne Community Building. As Dutch Elm Disease Control is a part of this work I am happy to report that we still do not have the dreaded disease. Samples of suspected trees were taken and sent to Massachusetts State College but were found to be free of the fungus. To battle against this disease we sprayed our trees four times. Our Elms were pruned by tree ex- perts and all trimmings were taken to our dump for burning. Very weak trees were removed completely. We also added a soluble fertilizer to our spraying mixture, known as Rapid Gro. This fertilizes the trees through their foliage, to make them stronger and in a better condition to fight off the fungus. It also gave the foliage a rich green appearance. Again I wish to say that I thoroughly enjoy being your Moth Superintendent and am very pleased to report to yon the favorable condition of our town. Respectfully yours, JOHN G. SEARS, Moth Superintendent. • TREE WARDEN'S REPORT To the Honorable Board of 'Selectmen and To the Citizens and Tax Payers- of. the Town of Yarmouth My work as Tree Warden. is most interesting.' .I have to do with the life of the trees within the boundaries 'of the streets of the Town. There are trees which have been planted • but one year. and those which have been growing for mans many years. Since our several hurricanes have taken their toll. it is our job to replace the old and bat- tered trees. This program has been to a great extent con- centrated on the South side of the Town. We are gaining gradually, as from year to year new plantings have. been made. In the future the North and. West sides of Town will receive their .share of this program. Under a special article sponsored by the Planning Board, a committee consisting of the Tree Warden, High- way Surveyor. -and a member of the Park Department held a meeting. on July 31st .and made a survey of the town as to the necessary streets on which to plant. A. list was made and future planting will he made according to the results of this survey. This year. 75 trees were• planted and staked. These stakes were sharpened and a metal -driving cap was made -for the•purpose of.driving them. They were painted, not only for appearance but to preserve them for P:ture use. Each tree planted had new soil and fertilizer. Beside', these 75 trees we have in my nursery 100 maples that have been twice transplanted for better root growth, before being - planted" out along our streets. As the droughts of recent years have taken their toll of -yonng trees, I 'have found that t.lie planting of them in the nursery, and having water and fertilizer available .for the first year gives them a better root system to carry on; once they are planted in their pet•inanent location. -.This year we. watered our" newly planted trees with water containing a soluble fertilizer, 147 them new energy at the time they needed it, thus giving finding it worked out to great advantage. We are also adding to our standard trees the usa of ornamental varieties under power lines.

REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLEEpCOUNTY TMENT HEALTH Board of Health Yarmouth, Mass. 1 would respectfully submit this brief narrative able ive and Count summarized statistical report of e Health Departmentfor the year 1952. The year again passed without there being reported to . us any cases of preventable communicable diseases with mathe exception of a few cases of whooping against thisitdisease noted that preventive immunizations as are not as effective as they are some such diseasses ll diph- ur theria, tetanus and swallpos,in the majority of in- stances, immunizations. Ilowever, stances, these cases are of a mild nature._ the schools With the assistance of the nurses wor'aing r } ir 148 - of the county, we have made a survey of the rate of im- munization among children entering—school. for the first time in >;eptember, 1952. Information from twelve .of the fifteen towns shows, that in practically all instances, more than 80% of these children. had been immunized prior to entering school. The lowest rate was 71% and the highest rate 100.% This indicates that preventive measures against such diseases as diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough have been well carried out. Only one case of diphtheria has been reported to this department since I became Health Officer six years ago. In contrast to this picture, such non- preventable diseases as measles, mumps and chicken pox were epidemic throughout the County during the year. Probably the most prevalent disease in this area, is dental caries or decay. The situation is too well known to most people to warrant much emphasis, but the follow- ing table shows the results of dental examinations of school children, aged 7, 10 and 13 in one town of the County, and the results night be duplicated for other Towns. Item Percentage of Children with Evidence of Decay in Per- manent Teeth Percentage of Children with Evidence of Some Success- ful Operative Dentistry in Permanent Teeth Percentage of Children in Need of Dental Care at the Time of Examination Nurnber of Decayed, Missing and Filled Permanent Teeth per Child Age of Children 7 years 10 years 13 years 41% 88% 100% 13% 54% 100% 657, 99% 0.7. "3.99 8.79 Lentil recently, there was little that could be done to '•ffeetively prevent this disease. Now, however, .we have 149 available the results of well conducted experiments indi- cating_the role of the element fluorine in relation to dental decay and the preventive action of this element, when sup- plied in adequate amounts is well established. Three years ago, we instituted a program of prevention by applying fluorine to the teeth of school children. We can expect some results from these measures, but it would be more effective if the public water supplies were treated with a fluorine compound. Analysis show that only a trace of fluorine is found in our Cape water supplies. 11 the amount is brought up to about one part per million parts of the water, and children use such water from the time of birth, they will experience more than 60% less dental decay by the time they reach the age of thirteen years. At the present time, fluoridation of the public water supplies is being seriously considered in the towns of Falmouth, Dennis and Harwich. - In last year's report, we commented on the health prob- lems created by the so called chronic diseases. As edu- cational measure, this department has participated with others in organizing a series of classes for the discussion of nursing care in cases of diseases affecting the heart and Mood vessels. Attending these classes have been nurses from the two hospitals in the county, private duty nurses and public health nurses. The lack of interest on the part. of some of our public health nurses in the Towns of this county, we have found difficult to explain on any reason- able basis. Other routine activities of the department have been carried out as usual. Every year we seen to encounter additional work in carrying out supervision of our . food handling establishments during the summer tourist season, • and this year has been no exception. We find that inspec- tion visits and laboratory work have exceeded any -pre- • vious year. rq 150 Statistical Summ Administrative: Automobile Mileage Individuals Interviewed Meetings Attended Lectures, etc. Communicable Disease Control:_ Visits to Cases Smallpox Vaccinations Diphtheria Immunizations Whooping Cough Immunizations Tetanus Immunizations Maternal and Child Hygiene: Nursing Visits Antepartum Cases Nursing Visits Postpartum Cases Nursing Visits Infants Nursing Visits Preschool Children Nursing Visits School Children Preschool Children Examined School Children Examined Children inspected by Dental Hygienists Children Given Fluorine Prophyloxes Total Fluorine Treatments Visits to Crippled Children Clinics Sanitary Inspections: Water Supplies Sewage Disposal Schools Camps Restaurants, etc. Markets and Groceries Dairy Farms Pasteurizing Plants All Others Laboratory Specimens Examined: Water Supplies Milk (Bacteriological) Milk (Fats and` Solids) Milk (Phosphatase Tests) 23 54,906 Cream 238 15 1414 - Coliform Tests • 1 99 179 Food Handling Utensils . 18 Cases of Reportable Diseases: 8 Acute Anterior Poliomyelitis 198 49 Chicken Pox 891 267 Dog Bite 718 German Measles 8 g 449 Measles 6693 718 7, Meningitis:gg Mumps .

These vil meetings had to do with practically every phase Defense and its several Departments. The Departments which I have been able to develop to the greatest extent locally are, Auxiliary Police, Auxiliary Fire, and Communications. The Auxiliary Police Department is now a well-equipped and well-trained unit. During the past year, by using 152 members of this unit in Conjunction -with the regular •police= men on traffic duty during carnivals; the. circus,. and on cruiser patrols during the week -ends, the Tgwn has.benefited greatly by the:saving'of several hundreds of dollars, which we might hai•e otherwise had to pay our reserve officers, inasmuch as the Auxiliary Police unit members did the work without pay, as part of their training. All members also gave of their own time to attend schools held to train thein in such matters as Laws of Arrest, Rights and Re- quirements of Auxiliary Police, and other points of proper training. ,Such schools were held each week during the past winter. 1 feel that a great deal of credit and appre- ciation is due these sixteen men and to George Smithson. West Yarmouth, who is the Temporary Police Sergeant. in charge of the unit'. The Auxiliary Fire Department, under the training and supervision of the late Chief Oliver L. Studley, also became a well-trained and well-equipped unit, and I believe, were of great assistance to the regular Fire Department in emer- gencies. A substantial supply of the many different items neces- sary to a well-equipped Medical Department was purchased during the year, such as blankets, stretchers, all sorts of bandages, medical supplies in general. The Communications Department, headed by Mr. Charles C. Dimond, purchased first an FM Radio Receiver, receiving on the Mass. State Police frequency, which in- stantly picks up the Warning Signals and Alerts as they originate from Civil Defense headquarters in Boston. Later a portable, combination transmitter and receiver, on the Barnstable County Police Radio System frequency, was purchased, for use in the field in cases of emergency in locations where, possibly, a police car could not be driven. 1 have already named the four best -developed Depart- ments, but I can say that all other Departments have had as much attention and development as it is possible to give them at this time. 153 The $3000.00 allocated to Civil Defense two years ago has now been used up, completely, and it is my feeling that another $1000.00 should be allocated to Civil Defense this year, to be used for the repair, or replacement of any dam- aged or deteriorated equipment, the purchase.of'any needed new equipment, and for use in any training equipment or literature that may be needed. In closing may I extend my thanks and appreciation to the heads of the several Departments, such as, Mrs. Edward Swezey, Mrs. Dorothy Ingraham, Mr. Gorham Homer, I)r. Herman Howes, Mr. Charles C. Dimond, the Board of Selectmen, Mr. William Kelly, and any others • 1 may have overlooked. Also to my Deputy, Herbert Jason, who acted as an instructor. in the Auxiliary Police Training • School, along with me, and to George Smithson, who bad. charge of the men of that unit, and to the working members of all Departments. Their assistance and cooperation has helped me immeasurably in my position as Director. Respectfully, NELSON F. CRESSY, Director of Civil Defense. SEALER OF.

We would also recommend, as usual, the passage of the article calling for appropriation of $1500 for the plant- ing of shade trees. It may be recalled that the Board, some time ago, commenced this program. and it should be done each and every year. The most important matter that came before the Board was the question of amending Route 28, making all of the same a business zone, rather than'partly business and partly residential, as it now is. The Board, after careful consid- eration, recommends that this proposed amendment ]3E NOT adopted. The Board feels that there is sufficient area alloted for business activity on Route 28, and that to open up the whole of Main Street would seriously jeopardize those people who have homes and who have built homes there depending upon the zoning ordinance to be main- tained as it is. The Board does not feel that because a few people wish to enlarge or put in new business in a residential area, that a serious amendment to the zoning law' should be made, which would jeopardize a great number of residents main- taining homes in that area. The Board does not feel that any change should be made at the present time in respect to the matter of signs. There. is adequate and ample provisions for signs (other than that which may be permitted), by appeal to the Board of Appealsfor a variance. A. survey of activities of the Board of Appeals shows that in most every ease. with the exception of one or two, all petitions for signs, greater than that which is allowed, have been granted. To repeat again, the Board is of the opinion that the zoning law is adequate and complete as it is and should not be tampered with at this time. The Board of Appeals is set up to take care of anyone who is suffering undue hardship and proper provision is made by statute for such people to go before the Board and show why they should be treated differently. It would seemthat the Board of &ppeals, in the past few years, has adequately taken care of such applicants. Respectfully submitted, • A. HAROLD CASTONGUAY, . Chairman, Planning Board REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS West Yarmouth, Tau, 3. 1953 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Gentlemen: • I herewith submit my second annual report as chair- man of the Board of Appeals. During the year 1952 the board acted on 48 petitions for variances, 38 of which Were allowed, and 10 of whieh were denied. While it was true that some petitions aroused thepublic interest more than others, the general level of interest by our citizens was most heartening; and those citizens, who, week in and week out, come to our hearings to express • them- selves, are to be congratulated. While it is a function of our board to deal with facts, it is our duty and privilege to hear how .our people feel. We deeply appreciate the opinions of the citizenry and their opinions will be most. -- welcome. For the first time since . the adoption of the Zoning Bylaw and the formation ,of the Board of .Appeals, a de- cision. of ours was appealed to the Superior Court. It is a credit to the wisdom and judgment of my.. fellow mem- bers and to the able legal work of Mr. A. Harold Caston— guay, the town counsel, that this .decision- was upheld by Judge Broadhurst sitting on a jury -waived case. • May I at this time express the thanks of the board to you gentlemen, to Mr. Reginald Love, building inspector. - and to the girls in the town office building, who act as re- corders at our meetings and who do much of the clerical work. And may I express my personal thanks. to John Harris, Alex Catto, IIarry Robinson, .and Fred Angus, . reg- ular members, and to Thomas Matthews, Stuart Ryder. and Riehard Robsham, alternate members, for their dexo- tion to such a real civic responsibility as the • Board of Appeals.. - The term of Mr.. Fred Angus, our oldest member, ex- pires this year, and we shall miss his good judgment. strict impartiality. and wise counsel. — Vert/ truly yours, ELWIN W. COOMBS. VETERAN'S AGENT'S REPORT District Board; Selectman—Victor F. Adams, Barnstable; Richard B. Taylor, Yarmouth; Clarence M. Nickerson, Dennis. It is with deep regret we are recoiding.in this report the passing of the first Director and Agent, A. Earle. Mitchell who died December 3, 1952. A • veteran himself whom al- though ill himself stayed on the job, giving his -services to all veterans and continuing to do so until he entered the hospital. He will be greatly missed by many and we hope to carry on the work of this office as efficiently a, he has, with the foundation he 'has laid sine this office was first opened in April, 1947. As the name of the department implies, we primarily give service to all veterans of all wars including the vet- erans who are. being discharged after serving during the Korean Conflict. The Korean veterans who have served since June 27, 1950 are now entitled to most of the benefits which were given to the veterans of World War 11,. such 171 as Education and "On the job Training," Vocational Re- habilitation, Home Loans and Employment Rights and in- formation on any*and each of these can be obtained froiu our office. We service the veterans by helping them complete forms that are needed, answering their questions on any of the Veterans Administration matters as far as we arc able. Ezra J. Swift, our V.A. Contact Officer from the Dis- trict Office in New Bedford, is still in our office at Room 4 in the Town Building in Hyannis on zhe first and third Thursdays of each mouth from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. A survey has recently- been made of this itinerary- service which we hope may result in more time being spent here by Mr. Swift as each trip to Hyannis now he has bad al- most more cases than he can take care of and properly service them the way he feels he should, and we are indeed grateful to him for the assistance in giving a better under- standing of the laws for veterans. Mustering Out Pay forms were also completed for veterans already discharged from service when this law was passed last summer. For the services required for the relief and assistance to veterans and their dependents, we have been fortunate so far that expenses for same have not increased in any greater proportion than that for other categories of Social Welfare, but with the closing of Camp Edwards, the vet- erans who have been employed there are unable to apply for Unemployment Compensation, we sincerely hope that employment can be found for them so as not to cause too great a strain on any one. ; This office is ready at all times to help any veteran of any war and the new Director and Agent, Thomas Milne. who took over this office January 1 will do his best ' to aid any veteran whatever his problem nay be, and if we do not have the answers here we *ill do our best to got them as promptly as possible. sr 172 This office is open daily from 9:00 a.m. • to 4:00 p.m. except Saturday, Sundays and holidays. The number now is Room 4 upstairs in the Town Building in Hyannis. Tek - phone number is Hy. 688; P. O. Box 686. When closed in ease of emergency call Mr. Milne at Tel. Osterville 4836. Respectfully submitted, LILLIAN R. DOANE, Deputy Agent. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGISTRARS OF VOTERS The Board of •Registrars of the Town submit their report for the year 1952.

The original organizers felt that the program' could be best handled as a joint enterprise by two towns, in this case Yarmouth and Dennis. With this geographical area as its target the endorsement of the program was secured from the Selectmen and School Boards of both towns,. Super- intendent of Scho°Ls, IIigh School Coach, Clergy and other citizens. .The first general meeting for the public vas held November 13, 1951 at the John Simpkins High School Audi- torium, South Yarmouth. At that time a moving picture film on actual Little League play and a discussion were held. Election of officers, naming the League (Mid -Cape) and choosing names for the four teams (Bears, Foxes, Lions. Tigers) were completed in January, 1952. The Yarmouth School Board gave permission for the use of school prop- erty to be used as a Little League Field under the super- vision of the Superintendent of Schools, Alfred R. Kenyon. Managers and Coaches were then selected. Volunteers for Umpires and Scorekeepers were giveu a short course of instruction and held discussion sessions to familiarize them- selves with Little League Baseball. General practice sessions started A i ii ferent age groups at each practice to give the Managers an opportunity to see the relative ability of the boys. After three weeks of these general practices the four Managers met with the Player's Representative for the Players Auc- tion. Starting with 30,000 points each, every Manager in turn put a boy of his choice on the Auction Block. This particular player went to the Manager who bid the most for his services. In this manner 167 players were assigned to one of the four teams. 196 From this group of approximately 42 players on -each team, the Managers through practice sessions worked out their team of 15 players, the rest of the boys assigned to each team becoming the farm team. • Uniforms consisting of shirt, pants, socks -and a cap were issued May 22nd to the 15 boys on each team. For the farm team players' caps were issued and Little League T-shirts at a later date. The season opened on May 26th with games every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening until the end of August. • The first season ended after many exciting games with the Foxes winning the Championship on a 12 and 6 record. followed by the Tigers 11 and 7. The Bears split even 9 and 9, and the Lions finished up last with a record of 4 and 14. The games won or lost were of secondary importance. The principal objects of Little League Baseball_sports- manship, fair play and wholesome recreation—were appar- ent to all who witnessed the games. With steady oppor- tunity to play and coaching by interested adults, the calibre of ball improved tremendously. • For the Little League Tournament playoffs_ 14 boys were selected from the entire League to represent the Mid - Cape against other Leagues. Th official ending of the 1952 season was a banquet for the 60 League Team boys at which time they turned in their uniforms. At the banquet, Little League Buttons were presented to all Team members and officials. The winning team received Shoulder Patches and special But- tons were given to the Tournament Team members. A special award was made to one boy on each team for Sports- manship. The two leading pitchers and two leading bat- ters in the League were presented Trophies. Plans for the 1953 season are \yell organized with a much larger group of officers already elected and many more managers, coaches, umpires. and scorekeepers volun- 197 tearing to help continue the program. In addition to the Little League, plans have been formulated to organize a Pony League for the boys 13 and 14 if a playing field can be obtained. The success of the program is dependent on the adult volunteers who give their time and effort to aid the Little League. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the sponsors and contributors who make this undertaking possible. MILTON L.

REPORT OF THE TOWN OFFICE BUILDING COMMITTEE Acting under Article 4 of our last annual Town meet- ing, February, 1952, the Moderator appointed a "five man 2.13 building Committee for the purpose of. choosing a site. securing plans. specifications and bids for the constructing or re -constructing of a Town Office Building completely furnished and equipped which will provide offices, vaults, hearing room and such other space as may be required t.o eent.ralize all departmental offices concerned in one build-. ing and to submit its reports and recommendations to the next annual Town Meeting and to see what sum of money the Town will raise and appropriate fo_ this purpose or what. other action it will take thereon or relating_4hereto.".. We have earnestly tried to fulfill this charge and re- port to you as follows: --- 1.. We interviewed three architects. all from Barnstable County, with the thought in mind that if one were selected from a greater distance, his' ability t.o render prompt and constant service would be appreciably limited. Our final selection- was Walter M. Gaffney of Ilyannis. 2. The Committee. after considerable thought and study, rejected the possibility of remodeling our present town office building, for the simple reason that the ground space available seemed inadequate for a structure large enough • to house the headquarters for our $14.000,000 corporation and still Provide parking space. 1so. as nearly as earl. he determined, the present building is soomething over one _ hundred years old, and if remodeled. •.vonld prove more costly than starting .afresh. Though your Committee may be trespassing on Maiming l;oard functions. we recommend that when a new town building is constructed. the old one he removed and the area established as a municipal park ;ng place for the expanding South Yarmouth business see- tion. eetion. 3. The selection of a proper site was our next step and proved to be the most perplexing and trying to both your . Comunitt•ee and the architects. We have been concerned • with trying to locate the proposed new Town Office Build- ing, so that it is convenient to all (both the employees and those having business to transact therein) and so • that it .214 may be one of the • scenic .attractions of our community. Our study covered several locations. from South to West Yarmouth and the final selection shown on the accompany- ing plan was made with certain considerations governing our decision: accessibility ; continuation of the grouping of our town buildings with room for possible future school expansion; the piece of ground is large, .enough to alloy, for a pleasing setback, attractive landscaping. and for expansion of the building in either or both of two directions if ever needed, and adequate parking. In attempting to look ahead several years, we feel that our South Yarmouth business area will tend to expand along the bypass, so that. quite soon our -"Main Street" will virtually be on Route 28, rather than crowded around the junction, as it now is. - Also, we discovered in studying the topographical features of the actual ground that it lent itself well to our idea of a two-level structure, and as you eau see. the architect, have developed that .idea well. 4. Office space requireinents for the. various departments of the Town have been carefully studied by both your Committee, the architect, and the present heads of Town departments, with constant attention to trying to outguess the future, insofar as town expansion is cone.erned. We feel that the plans herewith submitted are the product of the best. thinking of all combined and hope our "crystal ball" has been reasonably accurate. 5. Certain new .offices appear in the proposed building. and several unassigned spaces -are available. Much of the unused area in the basement is admirably suited for .addi- tional office space if ever required. 6. Rather than take space in this report for a description of the building and its facilities, we refer you to the layout plans and, will stand ready to answer your questions at Town Meeting. 7. In further. pursuing our mission, we recommend that all departments of the Town make their headquarters in the proposed building: Police, ,Highway:. School, as the plan shows.spaee for •each has been provided. 8.

Included in the contingencies figure are certain probable expenses: water .supply, insurance during construction. moving of equipment and records from the present town office building to .the new one. and a reason- _ able cushion for those unforseen expenses attendant, to any project of this size: . 9. Of the $4,000. granted the Committee for their study, $3,000. was spent on the plans, specifications and securing a sound cost. estimate. The balance of $1.000. remains unspent and available `for return to the General Treasury. 10. The Article which we have placed in the Town Warrant . shows how it is proposed to finance the Town Oflice.I3uild- ing, and if- you approve the Article, the new building should be ready for occupancy sometime during the winter of 1953-1954.

At the outset the Committee con- cerned itself with examining into the advisability of a building separated from the other school buildings. After conferring with the School Committee and the teachers w1u would be in charge of the operation of a vocational de- partment. the Comiuittee came to the conclusion, that it was proper and within the purview of the article creating it to look into the feasibility of incorporating the proposed working space physically within the existing school build- ing. Many distinct advantages were seen in this course. These were, among others: It would be considerably less expensive; the department would be intimately a part of the existing physical layout; no separate facilities for lava- tories, etc. would be needed; and by using space within the present school building, that building would be providing its optimum service. It was immediately apparent to the Committee that the ideal location for such an addition would be underneath the present auditorium. On further consultation with the school personnel. immediately inter- ested, it became apparent that sufficient .space would be provided by using this area for a manual arts department and by placing the vocational arts department in the space new occupied by the manual arts department. The ques- tion remained whether this utilization of existing facilities would allow enough room for future expansion but the Committee has fully satisfied itself on that score by check- ing with the school personnel. Your Committee wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Edward M. Webster for his cooperation in helping to make this project the success we beliere it to be. RAYMOND DARLING PETER 11 i..

Monroe, Yarmouth ; Clarence M. Nickerson, Den- nis. This being my first year as your Agent for the Town of Yarmouth, I wish to submit the following report, touch- ing•on the phases of opportunities and advantages extended to the veterans and their dependents of all wars. Hospitalisation Hospitalization is one of the most important and necessary duties of this office. The veterans of World War I are getting to the age where sickness and infirmities are becoming more frequent, which is to be expected as their age increases. There have been several from Yarmouth :this past year who have required this service. Sickness is expensive and whenever possible this office, with the help of the attending physician, try to have the veteran entered in the new Veterans Hospital at Davis Park, Providence, Rhode Island, the Boston V.A. Hospital, Jamaica Plain and the last new one to be opened the V.A. Hospital in Brockton, recently dedicated. Any veteran with a 100 disability or more may ask for admittance at any time. World War I, World War II and Korean veterans are also eligible for non -service connected treatment providing they are unable to pay for this service and there are beds available. Education World War 1I veterans are finishing their education, or will have by July ,1,956. The Korean veterans are now coming home and a great many of them are looking into 1 t t- - • 62 . the many- educational opportunities that are offered diem. This is, a wise move on their part and should be encouraged by the parents. Many of these veterans have 48 months -en- . titlernent. onthsen- titlement. The Korean veteran has only two years after discharge or release from active duty to take advantage of this education. Loans World War II veterans have until July 27, 1957 to get loans from banks with Government Gparanty of loans at 41/07r, Korean veterans 10 years afterdischarge or as may be determined by the President or Congress. This office of Veterans' Services is. always ready to help serve 'in any way it can, those eligible veterans who apply for any of the many other benefits such as Insurance, Discharge Review, Compensation, Pensions, Combat Pay etc. This office has-been very busy the last several months with aiding the veterans of the Korean Conflict in making application for their. Massachusetts State Bonus. In closing I wish to thank the several departments of the Town in cooperating with me and this office on different eases that. required their help. I also wish to thank Mr. • Philip E. Carey our State Investigator, Mr. Ezra J. Swift the V.A. Contact Representative who is with us in our office the first three Thursdays Of each month and Mrs. Lillian Doane, the Deputy .Agent, and all others who have given of their best in this worth while work for veterans and their dependents. Respectfully Submitted THOMAS MILNE Agent POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT December 15, 1953 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, and The Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: Attached and respectfully submitted are the Reports of Activities and Arrest Reports of the Yarmouth Police . Department. As will be noted by comparison, the Activities and Ar- rests for 1953 show a substantial increase over those of 1952. - As is generally known and recognized, Summer traffic, as well as Summer population, has increased greatly during the last two years, and, it is felt, will continue to increase with new and .better roads being instituted from the cities to the Cape recreation area. As well as bringing greatly increased and varied types of drivers into and through the Town, it is bringing a greatly increased number of the less desirable type of visitor to the Town. This, naturally, adds greatly to the problems and to the amount of coverage required of the Police De- . partment. With the present force of Chief, Deputy Chief, Sergeant, and six full-time patrolmen, and the added assistance of two patrolmen hired for a period of ten weeks during the Summer months, we feel that we have been successful in keeping traffic problems, accidents, and criminal violations - to a minimum. The use of the two cruiser cars, covering mileage fifty per cent more than that of 1952, has greatly aided in keeping the accident rate down, as well as enabling us to keep a much better check on the business establish- ments after closing hours, -and also on houses closed for the Winter months. I would like at,this time to express my sincere appre- ciation to the citizens of Yarmouth, and to the Fire Depart- ment, Massachusetts State Police, and other Police Depart- 64 ments and law-enforcement agencies of the Cape for the support and cooperation we have always enjoyed. I would like particularly to thank the parents of the. Town for the cooperation they have given the Department when it has been necessary to call on them, as this cooperation has been of great assistance in keeping our juvenile problems at an absolute minimum.

Making the business area 500 feet will eliminate much of the confusion and will make a uniform line. In reference to opening up all. of Main Street from Hyannis line. to Forrest Street or Route .28, the Board is not in favor of such a change. The Board feels that any- one wishing to place a business in this area, not zoned for business, has ample access and opportunity to go before the Board of Appeals to present their proposed business and then the abettors have an opportunity to be heard and object thereto. Whereas, if such area is to be open for business, the resident owners in such area will not have an opportunity to be heard and present their objections. The board feels that sufficient interest in opening this area has not been demonstrated. • In reference to the area of 10,000 feet of corner lots, the Board is definitely in favor of the same. In reference to the article on neon signs, the Board is in favor of changing the law to cover these signs. In reference to the changing of the law in respect to signs, the Board would be in favor of -he same. - THE PLANNING BOARD for the Town of Yarmouth. 68 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD for the Town of Yarmouth - December 29th, 1953 With the many changes made in the past year in the State Law on municipal planning, the activities and duties of the Planning Board of each town are becoming increas- ingly important. The board finds that it must spend more and more time in relation to its duties, especially in refer- ence to subdivision plans. Fortunately, we have been able to secure the services of Mr. William Kelly, as town engineer, to make a study plan of the town, which will show the roads, lot lines and business and residential districts, which will be of great help, both to the Planning Board and to the Board of Appeals and also to all other town officials. As of the writ- ing of this report, this plan is about finished. On January 4th of next year, the Planning Board will hold a hearing in relation to changes of the zoning law. The result of that hearing may be an article in the 1954 warrant, requesting the voters to decide whether they wish to change certain features of the zoning law or not. Another matter your board feels should be amended, is that of the size of the.lots in subdivisions. At the present time we have a minimum size of 8500 square feet per lot, and there are a few, but not many owners of land developing the same, that insist upon hold- ing to the minimum size and do not see the necessity of making the lots larger, thereby improving their ownde- velopment, and of course, at the same time improving the civic situation of the town. Because of these few people that insist upon doing this, the board feels we may very well request a change to 10,000 square feet per lot as a minimum requirement. 69 A great majority of the land owners see the wisdom of larger lots and wider streets, and of course, with these. we have no difficulty. This year Mr. John G. Sears, who has long been a member of our board is not a candidate for re-election. The town's people should know that Mr. Sears has for seven- teen years given of his time freely and has been of in- valuable assistance to the town in its development of its civic program, as a member of this board. Most of the town's people are not aware of the time and effort put in by a man like Mr. Sears, and we on the Planning Board, take this opportunity to offer the sincere thanks of our board and of the town for Lis splendid work.

This truck is radio equipped and on the air constantly whin in use. A total of 306 permits were issued for burning. There have been a total of 324 permits issued for gas and oil installations -172 for oil and 152 for gas. I would like to recommend that those having automatic oil 'heat have them checked occasionally to make sure the safety devices are in proper working order, also have them cleaned periodically. Permits are required for the storage of oil, also for gas. Applications should be made at the town office for these permits. Permits are required for all open fires in the Town of Yarmouth.

Present number of Water Services Services vacant Gallons of water pumped Stock on hand estimated value Number of services installed • 2008 78 136,910,065 $9,425.50 132 Although it has .become quite evident that building construction in the town is slowing down, the water depart- ment had another good year financially. There should be available some $12,000.00 over and above our 1954 expenses which can he used to retire water department bonds or reduce the tax rate. With the decrease in the number of services being in- stalled, it is felt by the board members that the service con - �9 neetion account, a revolving fund, can be reduced by some $5,000.00 without impairing the work of installing services. In the years ahead, with construction of new living units becoming stabilized, the water department plans a gradual and orderly expansion of the system to include more and more of those people not now served with town water. This program must be worked gradually so that it will not result in any large budget rise. We are asking approximately $5,000.00 more this year our budget to cover the operation and maintenance of three new pumping stations. Otherwise our budget is same as last year. We are pleased to report that our relations with the •various department heads and other town employees have been on a high level; and we are grateful, as ever, to them all for the co-operation, help, and understanding which they have extended to us. for the the GERALD O. CASH . ELWIN W. COOMBS EUGENE A. HOMER Water Commissioners REPORT OF NEW WELLS, ELEVATED •TANK, ETC. As- most of you know, the sum of $330,000.00 bonded over a fifteen year period, was made available to the Water Commissioners at the regular town meeting last February for the construction of new gravel packed wells, for laying 6"-16" east iron water mains, for the construction of an elevated tank in West Yarmouth, and • for the building of three pumping stations. All major contracts have been advertised and awarded. The gravel packed wells are done, the new water mains are laid, the foundation for the elevated tank is completed, and the construction of the three pumping stations is ap- proximately 50% complete. 80 The one discordant note, to date, was of course the site chosen by the consulting engineers of Whitman & Howard for the elevated tank in West Yarmouth. The Water Commissioners, while sympathetic in a measure, had to adopt the policy that, although some of our taxpayers and friends felt aggrieved, the additional cost of moving the tank was not in the best interests of the majority of the taxpayers. The townspeople, at a special meeting,, sup- ported the position of the. Water . Board. In addition to the water mains necessary- to tie the pumping stations to the new elevated tank and thence into the system, 6" mains were laid on Weir Road and Wharf Lane in Yarmouth, Pine Cove Road and Rainbow Avenue in West Yarmouth, also laying of a 6" water main into the Yarmouth Camp Ground, and the -tieing in of the 8" water main on Route 6 to the Dennis Water System. The Water Commissioners want the voters and tax- payers to know that we appreciate the quick response which you give to our problems, as well as the financial backing you give us to overcome these problems. Be assured that we shall serve your interests to the best of our ability. BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS GERALD 0. CASH ELWIN W. COOMBS EUGENE A.

After a careful cheek, none were found. Our next important job came the first of April with the spray- ing of the elms with a dormant spray. This is of course, an oil spray to kill any beetles or bugs that are hiding in the bark. It is a very essential spraying and attacks the bugs before they get an opportunity to do their damaging work. Our work then jumps to the first part of May when we have the tent caterpillar to contend with. On a check of these we removed 422 nests from within sight of the highway, against last year's total of 506. About the first of June we started spraying the high- ways of the town for any gypsy moth infiltration but per- haps mainly for the control of the wood tick. It also keeps the highways in a respectable condition by ridding it of other less dangerous bugs. This spraying period usually lasts until about July 4th. At that time we place about 37 moth traps in positions designated by the State Depart- ment of Natural Resources, who are assisted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and it is then our job to visit these traps each week until about Labor day. A weekly report is sent in to the Boston office and if any catches are made, they are sent to the field station in Greenfield, Mas- sachusetts. The results this year were, no catches. We are indeed fortunate as catches were made both east and west of us. During this period the elms were sprayed according to schedule. With the insecticide a fertilizer was added, the purpose being to feed the trees with liquid nitrogen and in this way aid the trees to ward off the dreaded Dutch Elm • 63 Disease. Also during this summer season the elms _were pruned by tree experts and where necessary. samples were , sent to the shade tree laboratories to be checked for diltch elm disease. In. November we were asked by the Department of Natural Resources to make a survey of the town to see if any moths had. been blown into the area as aesult of that the Worcester Tornado. The department had proof tornado bad deposited material as far east as Quincy. This survey was made and a report sent in on the first of De- cember. 'We again found no egg clusters. To date we have the dutch elm eisease on both sides of us. I do not know how long we will be free of it. If we do get it, it will be costly and the effects will be sad to our eyes. • Until the time that we do have it we are work- ing at the three best known ways of coping with it; these being to keep the trees well sprayed, the dead wood re- moved and to' fertilize when possible. • I sincerely hope that I will be able to present as favor- - able a report a year from now: . . Respectfully submitted JOHN G. SEARS Moth Superintendent REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN 1953 Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth As usual our job in this department is to care for those trees that we have planted in the past, and to see that the older trees are with us -as _long as possible. We also remove many dead trees along the wooded areas of the town so that the general public will not be endangered l 84 by them. These trees are cut into short sections and piled, hoping that you towns -people will remove the wood and _we will not have to pay to have it removed to the dump. We have been fortunate to date as many kind people have seen fit to remove the wood. This year we removed ,many trees on Willow Street in Yarmouth so that the water de- partment could install their new mains. With this report, I will also report to you the results of the Tree Planting Program. In cooperation with our Highway Surveyor, we went over the town and set up a' planting program. Of course we cannot plant all of the streets in any one year, so a plan has to be set up to cover several years of consistent planting. Our trees are purchased in the early spring and are planted in my nursery. Here they .are cared for and re- ceive water, fertilizer and are kept under cultivation. This care pays dividends the first year as many trees have a struggle during the droughts that we have had_ in recent years, especially during the period from May until Septem- ber. During the dry times of this year we also watered the small street trees, adding to the water a soluble fer- tilizer to give them extra nourishment. After this care they send out many feeler roots that help to make the tree a healthy plant, and can be transplanted with Less chance of loosing it. In the late fall after the foliage has fallen the trees are planted out on the streets, and where neces- sary all new soil is used. We drive stakes beside these trees.and secure them for the winter months. In the spring these stakes are removed and placed under cover tb be painted for future use. We were able to plant trees on streets that had never before received any attention, and by the comments that I received I believe that we are doing a work that is very much appreciated. For your informa- tion we planted this year, 19 American Elms, 61 Sugar Maples. 1 Linden, 1 Honey Locust, 16 Plane Trees and 10 Schwedler Maples. As of this date there are 100 trees in the nursery that are the property of the town. This is a S5 very gratifying job and I do. appreciate the way in which you people have readily approved this project. As I have said before, it is a pleasure to be your tree warden and I will try to carry out my work in a satisfactory manner. Respectfully submitted JOHN G.

There were no extensive epidemics of the ordinary com- municable diseases in the County during the year. Of the eleven cases of poliomyelitis reported, only three were permanent residents of the County, A limited supply of gamma globulin to be used in the. prevention of the dis- ease was so regulated, that only family ctontacts ofationcasess under thirty years of age were to be given This regulation was very well observed by both the physi- cians of the county and the parents of the children. The material was distributed from one depot located at the Cape Cod Hospital, Hyannis, and a total of six hundred and eight cubic centimeters of the material was furnished on the requisition of physicians. We wish to express our appreciation to the hospital administration for their assis- . tance. • 86 Routine work in.the field of sanitation was carried on as usual. Private water supplies were examined in the laboratory on request. Licensed camps- in the County were inspected in collaboration with the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Health. In planning our inspections of food handling establish- ments, we have concentrated this year on those which were opening for the first time, those under new ownership, and those whose record was unsatisfactory in the past. The performance of a few owners in sanitizing their utensils, was so unsatisfactory that letters were sent to Boards of Selectmen requesting that licenses not be issued for the year 1954 until some assurance of improvement was given. With changes constantly occurring in scientific know- ledge, and consequent changes in Public Health Practice, the continued training of personnel is very essential. We have endeavored to keep the staff of this Depart- ment as much up to date as possible by group and individual conferences. Our Nursing Educational Director has carried • out a plan of training for the nurses employed by the in- dividual towns. In addition, three nurses attending_ the— schools of Public Health Nursing at Boston University and Simmons College were given field training under the super- vision of this department.. They worked with the nursing personnel in the towns of Chatham. Falmouth and Sand- wich. Two recent graduates of the University of Massachu- setts were given field training in the field of sanitation dur- ing the summer months. Working with the Division of Maternal and Child - Health.. Massachusetts Department of Public Health, a training program for hard of hearing preschool children was instituted during the year. It. is the aim of this training to rehabilitate some of these children so•that they will be able to attend the regularr schools of the County.

School. The original purpose of the article was for the con- struction of a workshop for manual arts trainingand the conversion of space in the basement of the school building for a domestic science department. The estimate obtained by your chairman was in an amount which would allow for. the completion of both projects. However, when the pro- posed work was let out for bids, it immediately became apparent that a drastic revision in our plans would have to be made. With the approval of Town Counsel, your committee decided to proceed with the manual arts portion of the work eliminating the domestic science project and a contract -was entered into with Sets Nickerson & Sons, the low bidder, on August 10, 1953. Work was commenced August 15, 1953. The nature of the work was such that the excavation was not completed until November 1, 1953. Thereafter the work progressed properly. .As of the date of this report 75% of the work has been completed and your committee believes that the entire work contracted for will be finished prior to the date of the 1954 annual Town meeting. We will present to the voters of the Town a proposal in respect to the conversion of space in the high school for a domestic science room. The work performed by the contractor has been satis- factory and has been under constant. supervision by your committee and the architect. It is respectfully submitted that the Town is getting a good and efficient manual arts department workshop, which will serve the school program well in developing ability in the students to handle tools 90 and to become proficient :_ the subjects arts training.

The Commission was also provided with a budget of $16,000.00 for expected expenses during the balance of the year. Frank Sheehy, golf professional, and David Barry, greenskeeper, and their assistants were asked by the Com- mission to continue to perform their respective jobs. During the balance of the year approximately 9100 season members and day guests used the golf course and receipts through December 31, 1953 totalling $25.940.00 were turned over to the town. It has been very gratifying to the Commission to have the enthusiastic and active support of many townspeople. With their help and encouragement progress bas been made toward developing a recreation area and the painstaking. job of mapping the existingunderground irrigation sys- tem was completed. Of the many- repairs and improvements that will be part of our long range program we feel that the replace- ment of the present underground piping is the best possible protection for the earning power of the Town's investment. Because there were substantial materials and supplies on hand when the Commission took over a non-recurring profit of about $12,700.00 was realized and the Commission asks that this amount be utilized by the Town to get a large portion of the watering system renewed and repaired.

TRUST FUND COMMISSION'S REPORT The Commissioners have allocated during the year proper sums and amounts, all as appears in the Town Re- port itself under the various Trust Funds. Respectfully submitted, A. HAROLD CASTONGUAY, Chairman BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE The various 1953 statutes affecting the Public Assistance program have not resulted in changing the local Welfare picture to any great degree. Chapter 325 of the Acts of 1953 required that Aid to Dependent Children payments be made in advance beginning August 1, 1953. The personnel of the Welfare Department, being sub- ject to Civil Service, were obligated to accept additional duties in Civilian War Aid as a part of the Civil Defense program. The following listings summarize the 1953 expenditures and reimbursements administered by the Welfare Depart- ment. WM. P.

At a meeting of the School Committee of Yarmouth, it was voted to adopt the annual report of the Superintendent of Schools as the annual report of the School Committee for the year ending December 31, 1953. -- 129 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON YARMOUTH SCHOOL NEEDS TO THE VOTERS OF THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH Herein, is a study of the present school needs in the Town of Yarmouth as seen and studied by your School Committee. A report of this kind. of necessity, cannot go into the multitudinous minute details which have their effect on our present and future school needs. However, we have endeavored, in the following pages, to bring to you the present school building situation and needs with possible solutions to take care of the constantly expanding school population. You will note that your School Committee has drawn no conclusionsor made any recommendations in this study. This was done, not with the idea .of getting the Committee off the "hot seat," but with the thought in mind that any one of the solutions would aid in reducing our school over- crowding and that for your Committee to endeavor "to sell" only one plan would not give the Townspeople an opportunity to have a choice nor to have an immediate voice in the pressing school building problem which -now confronts this Town. — BASIC FACTORS - In making a study of this kind it is necessary to arrive at certain assumptions on which to base the study and to project these assumptions into the future. These assump- tions in themselves are not facts but in the light of past experiences and trends can be used with a certain degree of accuracy as guides. We know from national statistics, both governmental, business and medical, that since World War II there has been a decided increase in the number of babies born and that family sizes are increasing. These statistics predict that this trend will continue at least for the next 20 years. The zeroto one -child family of the 30's became the one to 130 two -child fa'inily of the 40's and with the trend for the 50's, being a three to four -child family. A casual survey of the population trends in the Town of Yarmouth will show that during the past five years the majority of year-round homes bought and occupied have been purchased by couples of child-bearing age. Thus, we can assume that we will have a continuing increase in the school population. A fairly recent survey shows that approximately 60% of the fathers of Yarmouth and Dennis School children are employed in the building or allied trades. This presents a problem in predicting the future expansion of Yarmouth— for what would these families do if the so-called "Cape Building Boom" should burst? Would they find other oc- cupations on the Cape? Or would they move off the Cape? There are those financiers and contractors who say that we do not have a "Building Boom" but are experiencing a normal growth accelerated by the overall growth in nation- al population, by the increase in marriages, the increase in family sizes and the earlier retirement of older couples. There are those who go further and say "The Cape Hasn't Seen Anything Yet!" and predict .that the summering pop- ulation, which has an effect to increase the year-round population, will increase to unthought of heights in the next ten years—and in the minority. are those who think that the Cape has reached the. peak of its building spree. Thus, your School Committee can only use a crystal ball and assume that for the next six years at least, we will have an expanding population which will increase our school en- rollment. The birth rate of Yarmouth has little factual evidence to offer in predicting future school enrollment. For ex- ample in 1947, 54 children were born to Yarmouth couples. Yet in September 1953, the year these children should bF entering school, 102 entered the first grade. Since 1943, a rough average shows that about 100% more children have entered the first grade than the birth rate of their corre- sponding year would indicate should be entering. At the s 131 present time, the Elementary School has an enrollment of _ 471 and the High School building, grades seven through twelve, 382 of which, 90 are Dennis stucents. *Minimum Predicted School Enrollment Grades 1-6 Grades 7-12 Grades 9-12 Total High School Yr.

It has now, as previously mentioned an enrollment of 471:- Twelve classrooms plus auxiliary rooms such as office, cafeteria, all- purpose assembly room, library, storage, etc. Classrooms were designed to accommodate •30 students which, accord- ing to educators, is about 5 more than the ideal size class for instruction and with:each grade occupying two rooms. At the time of construction two utility rooms along with a kitchen, cafeteria, boiler room, library, nurses' health room, two single accommodation toildts, storage facilities and an all-purpose assembly room were built in the base- ment. The two utility rooms. and the library have all the conveniences of other classrooms such as light- and ventila- i 132 tion (they are lacking in wardrobe space for children's clothing and blackboard space) but being in the basement fail to reach the standards set by the Massachusetts Board of Education and since being put to use as classrooms have been the major black mark against our educational plant in State inspection reports. By 1950, our Elementary School population had risen in two sudden jumps to 365 so that when the first classes moved into the new Elementary building it was filled to over its normal capacity. In 1951, the elementary enroll- ment was 418, in 1952, 432 and in 1953, 471 and it is esti- mated that by 1960. it will reach almost the 600 mark fol- lowing present trends. As the enrollment increased, it was necessary to take over more of the utility rooms and to increase the seating capacity in the regular rooms to over 30 until now we have expanded to about our maximum capacity. The two utility rooms are occupied, the Library has become a classroom and even the school nurse has been moved to a former storage room so that the regular health room could be converted into a classroom. In June 1954, the Sixth Grade, composed of 68 students will move to the High School building and become the Seventh Grade. Following present trends and estimates, we will have 100 First Graders coming to the Elementary School to take the place of the 68 who have moved. This leaves us with an additional 32 students or one more class- room to accommodate. -- June of 1955 will see 64 Sixth Grade students entering the High School building and once again approximately 100 First Graders coming in to take their place. Again 36 additional students to accommodate. In 1956, the increase will not be too great for 90 Sixth Graders will move to the John Simpkins School and 100 First Grade students will enter giving a plus balanee of only 10 more students for whom to find accommodations. Projected to 1960, these, plus balances, will increase our Elementary School enroll- ment to an estimated total of 591 as compared to a total of 133 471 to date, or a need for a total of approximately 20 class- rooms. 1 Bear in mind, that the foregoing estimaes of the number of entering First Graders is based on figures sup- plied by the Massachusetts School Assistance Commission and that from past experience their forecasts of future en- rollment have been under by about 25%. Thus, we can anticipate greater First Grade enrollment than indicated above. The present High School Building (John Simpkins School), was constructed in 1930 and consisted of 15 class- rooms, phis the Town Offices and auxiliary school rooms such as offices, cafeteria, locker -rooms, gym, library, audi- torium, etc. When built this building was to accommodate all grades One through Twelve, plus providing for such specialized instruction as Woodworking, Domestic Science, Physical Education, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. In 1936, the Town Offices moved to their present location and the vacated rooms were quickly absorbed by the expand- ing school. As the years passed and the school population. continued to increase there was also a corresponding in- crease in the educational needs and requirements for the students which could not be fully met due to lack of space and facilities. This resulted in the building of the 'Yar- mouth Elementary School, completed in 1950, and with Grades One through Six moving from the John Simpkins School leaving behind Grades Seven through Twelve. Those left in the High School building now felt they had elbow room. No longer was the Platoon system (one group in the morning, one group in the afternoon) neces- sary. The Auditorium became an Auditorium instead of a classroom; the Library returned to its old job of being a library and the cooks in the cafeteria heaved sighs of relief for no longer would they have drawing classes under- foot. Still there was not 'quite room enough to allow. for expanded Domestic Science courses or Woodworking. In 1953, the Town appropriated money to excavate under the 134 - Auditorium wing of the school in order to create facilities for an expanded Woodworking Shop and Mechanical Draw- ing Program. Also planned was the conversion of the old woodworking shops into domestic science rooms. This period with "Elbow Room" was short-lived and growing pains are being felt once again. The John Simp- kins School was built to accommodate a normal capacity of *300 students. From 1950-1953 our High School building population (Grades 7 through 12) has been as follows: (*Based on Elementary and High School Types of Programming) Past and Present Enrollment High School Building Grades 7 8 9-12 9-12 Total Yarmouth Dennis High School Bldg. 1950-51 48 46 139 98 331 1951-52 38 51 158 99 346 1952-53 70 40 173 103 386 1953-54 61 68 163 90 382 *Predicted Future Enrollment High School Building Grades 7-12 9-12 Total Yarmouth Dennis High School Bldg. 1954-55 . 332 111 443 1955-56 .340 118 458 1956-57 381 132 513 1957-58 401 157 558 1958-59 393 168 561 *Based in part on figures supplied by Mass.

We are also rapidly outgrow- ing our High School academically. Onr present science lab- oratories are inadequate for a High School curriculum; our Auditorium is rapidly becoming too small to accommodate all students at one time, our small gym does not allow for an expanded physical education program in which all stu- dents can participate in one or another type of sport nor does its size permit the full development of winter type spectator sports; additional facilities are needed for our business courses and public speaking; even when taking over the old Woodworking Shops we will not have all the room needed for a High School type Domestic Science course. Since 1931, Dennis students in the Grades Nine through Twelve have been coming to the . Yarmouth High. School. At the present time there are 90 Dennis students divided as follows: 9th Grade - 26; 10th Grade - 27; 11th Grade - 25; and 12th Grade - 12. These students attend Yarmouth High School on a tuition basis with the Town of Dennis paying the bill and providing the transportation. At no time in the past nor is it anticipated that in the future, Dennis stu- dents will be the cause of overcrowding. In fact, they have aided our High School through additional State aid which is based on school population and .by 'the tuition which amounted to $25,379:50 during 1953. These additional monies help our Town in obtaining better teachers and facilities. A High School Curriculum is such that many rooms must be provided even though they are not filled to capacity. For instance, language—history — higher mathematics — physics—chemistry and biology rooms, to name a few, must be provided even though a majority of the students attend - 137 ing High School are not taking courses which require. these subjects. Yarmouth High School offers four courses:— College, General, Commercial, and Shop and Domestic Science. Now take, for example, the 26 Dennis students in the 9th Grade. These 26, are spresd throughout the four courses and where you might have 14 Yarmouth students taking First-year Spanish in a room which can accommo- date 30, the three or four Dennis students taking the same subject present no problem of overcrowding. The same is true in most all other subjects. Even in required subjects, such as English, which all students must take, overcrowd- ing by Dennis students does not enter the picture for Yar- mouth itself has more students than can be accommodated in one Freshman English Class but not enough to fill two classes. Yarmouth's school population is expanding at such a rate that additional facilities must be provided whether or not Dennis students are present in our education system. Thus, one sees, by the overall picture that the old cry of "Throw Dennis Out" is not based on logic or fact. In the foregoing paragraphs we have tried to present facts about our present school population and buildings on a broad scale without going into the many minute details of programming and scheduling which proves to those who deal directly with our children that Yarmouth has arrived at the acute stage of growing pains in our Elementary School and is fast approaching that stage in the High School build- ing. — POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS— Thereare many and varied means and ways of solving the present and anticipated overcrowling in our schools and also providing more adequate educational facilities for our future citizens. Some are logical, some are not. One solu- tion to be satisfactory may depend on the acceptance of one or more other solutions. However, following are mentioned all possible courses of action —logical or not. 2 1 1 138 1. Do nothing, and hope the Town of Yarmouth will stop growing and that young couples will stop having babies— or at least move to some other Town when the babies be- come of school age. 2. Request that the Dennis School Committee find other ac- commodations for their children. 3. Request that the Barnstable School Committee accept Yar- mouth children in the Grades 9.-12 at the Barnstable High School on a tuition basis and our present High School building be turned into a combination Elementary and Junior High School. 4. The same as Number 3 above, except that a committee -be authorized to see if Barnstable would form a Regional High School with Yarmouth in Hyannis. 5. Construct an 8 classroom Elementary school in West Yar- mouth or on the North side at an estimated cost of $400,- 000. 6. Construct a 6 classroom Elementary School in West Yar- mouth or on the North side at an estimated cost of $360,- 000. 7. Construct an 8 classroom addition to our present Elemen- tary School at an estimated cost of $290,000. 8. Construct a 6 classroom addition to our present Elemen- tary School at an estimated cost of $248,272. 9. Request the Town at its 1954 Annual Town Meeting to appropriate money for either Number 5 or 6 and to have the Town Moderator appoint a committee to work with your School Committee to further study the advisability of constructing a new High School on a local basis or Regional basis with one or more other Towns. 10. Request the Town in its 1954 Annual Town Meeting to appropriate money for either Number 7 or 8 and to have the Town Moderator appoint a committee to work with your School Committee to further study the advisability of constructing a new High School on a local basis or Regional basis with one or more other Towns. 11. Request the Town vote to have the Town Moderatorap- point a committee to work with your School Committee to further study the advisability of constructinga new High School on a local basis or Regional basis with one, or more other Towns. 139 — STUDY OF POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS --- Your School Committee discarded Solutions Numbers 1 through 6 and 9 for the following reasons: No. 1 was discarded for the obvious reasons that our Town is growing, children are being born whether we like it or not and present trends indicate the Town will continue to grow and our School population will continue to increase. No. 2 was discarded for as previously shown, Dennis children are not the cause of overcrowcing and their pres- ence in the Yarmouth School System aid, rather .than hamper us. Numbers 3 and 4 were discarded because Barnstable. has its own problem of overcrowding and has more than enough children now in its school system to fill the present high school or any high school tobe built in the future. There is also the loss of being an entity in the educational and sports field which we feel a progressive Town such as.Yar- mouth could ill afford to lose. Numbers 5, 6, and 9, were discarded because your School Committee felt other solutionswere more logical at the present time and could accomplish the same purpose without the initial and future expenses entailed in these three solutions. We now come to those solutions which we consider the most logical. - No. 7—The construction of an 8 -room addition would take approximately 2 years and wouldbe ready for occu- pancy in the Fall of 1955 if -money was appropriated at the 1954 Town Meeting. This would take care of anticipated enrollment in the Elementary School to the Fall of 1959 but would not relieve the •congestion or add the needed facilities in the High School. (.See plans on following pages) No. 8, the factors of Solution Number 7, are the same for this plan except that a 6 -classroom addition would take care of anticipated enrollment only until the Fall of 1958. 1— 4 4 I 7 • II • 1,0-0 • • —•—• 110 C I GI IS 0 ICC ger 1 1 0 0 0 0 A Proposed Addition to the Yarmouth Elementary School First Floor Plan E s • Ground Floor Plan 142 No. 10, which includes either Solutions Numbers 7 .or 8, takes into immediate account the increased enrollment— in our entire School System and recognizes for immediate future solution that the expanding enrollment and educa- tional needs of the High School building should be consid- ered with the Elementary School problem. No. 11, puts aside the Elementary School problem with the idea that if the committee studying the High School situation recommends a new High School, either local or Regional, and reports within a six months' period, a new school, if local, could be built within two to three years and if Regional, within three or four years. This solution also invisions the use of the present High School building as a combination Elementary and Junior High School upon completion of the new School. A very rough estimate of the cost of a new High School of the type for our needs would be $1,400,000. — DISCUSSION OF LOGICAL SOLUTIONS — Solutions 7 and 8 fail to recognize the immediate future problem of the increased enrollment and educational needs in the High School and although are economical solutions for the present, can be costly in the future if coupled with an additional expenditure for a High School. They do not take into account the economical use of our present High School building. These solutions do take care of the Ele- mentary school problem and within two years would relieve it. In the interim period of two years between the present, if money is voted in 1954 and the entrance of students into the new addition, your School Committee can take care of Yarmouth's Elementary School children by continuing to use the present "temporary" classrooms and by increasing the capacity of all classrooms above desirable instructional size. Solution ]O, recognizes the immediate future problem in the High School and also provides a solution for the ex- 143 • pension of the Elementary School. This for isan an idealioeu- tion but can prove costly for it e penditure of money for the Elementary School addition as well as an anticipated expenditureiear futurer a new High School. This P would e our prHigh and Junior High School School building as an Elementary with Grades 5, 6, 7, and 8. Present, and under construction and contemplated educational facilities would adequately take care of a Junior High School type of instructional pro- gram. This would place approximately 300 students in a school capable of accommodating a normal quota of '400. An uneconomical use of the building at the present time. However, it could be the buffer to take care of any other future expansion in our school system enrollment. Yet, ideal as this solution seems Bfailsin ourosclaool system after ke into account that possible future expansion School either 1960 may indicate the need for an Elementary on the North side or in West Yarmouth which wouldas not be- ot be economical if our present High School building ing-used to its normal capacity. of instruction.) (*Based on a Junior High School type Solution 11, is the more cautious and in the long run may prove the least costly of all solutions but can be the most dangerous to the education of Yarmouth children. It is dangerous for it calls for no immediate and iondeto cithfer r the Elementary or High School problems end final enactment upon the findings of several committees and the majority or two-thirds vote of at least three Town meet- ings. However, assuming that the ,tom t a hoole Sledither for in this solution, recommends a new Hight the Town Meeting local or Regional, and assuming to which this committee reports, Hi b local SchooHigh Committee is ap- ing Committee or a Regional g pointed and assuming that at another Town Meetingto which the Building or Regional Committee reports, e Town votes to appropriate the monies necessary to construct a new High School — then construction starts. Depending I NIP 144 of course, on how fast these aforementioned committees work, past experience indicates we can have a local high school within two to three years and a Regional High School within three to four years. In the interim period of from two to four years, your School Committee would do its best to try and adequately take care of the expanding Elementary and High School populations. Upon completion of the new High School, the° congestion in the Elementary School would be relieved by moving some grades to the old High School Building. Grades 7, 8, and possibly 9, would remain thus creating a combina- tion Elementary and Junior High School for which the present High School building has adequate facilities. Under this solution, the Town would be cautiously i d- vancing its school system and taking full advantage of exist- ing facilities. It would be free, in the future and if neces- sary, to expand the school system by either adding to the present Elementary School or by building another Ele- mentary School in some other location in the Town. The advisability of selecting this solution is based upon the tenor of the thought in Yarmouth. If it is for a new High School, this solution can economically solve the Town's school problems. If this solution is selected only to delay, to put off for another day a solution, then it is inviting chaos in our school system. —CONCLUSION— In the foregoing paragraphs, your School Committee has tried to present in as brief as possible and general form the many problems and solutions with which we have been confronted. On the one hand, we have the best interests of our children to consider, and on the other hand, the interests of the taxpayer. We have t� consider that our children are going out into the world to either college or work and will be in competition with children from other schools. We must give to Yarmouth youngsters the best education and educational facilities possible to meet and compete with 145 this 'competition. We must give to the taxpayer the best . educational system he can afford. As mentioned at the beginning of this study we have endeavored to draw no conclusions or make any recommen- dations. We have presented the facts and leave it up to - you, Mr. and Mrs. Yarmouth, to strike a happy medium k be- tween the interests of our children and our the 1954 Annualpocketbooks. War- However, we are inserting War- rant two articles. They follow generally. those solutions numbered 7, 8, 10 and 11. Thus you have the facts. It is now up to you Mr. and Mrs. Yarmouth which course of ac- tion you wish to pursue. Respectfully, YARMOUTH SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

Many pupils are transported to school and conditions in the several parts of the town may vary so that it may be difficult to reach a decision that is equally fair to all pupils._ Therefore, when it has been decided to keep the schools open on stormy days, parents are urged to exercise their personal judgment as to the wisdom of sending their chil- dren 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. AGE OF ADMISSION TO 'SCHOOL Any child five years and eight months on or before September 1, may be admitted to the first grade but in every case the admission of children under six years of age should be dependent upon the fitness of the child to profit by the work of the school. Pupils under seven years of age who have not previously attended school, shall not be permitted to enter later than thirty days after the open- ing of school in September. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE Every child between seven and sixteen years of age who does not meet the requirements for the completion of the sixth grade of the public schools shall attend day school in this town or some other day schaol approved by the School Committee, during the entire time that the schools. are in session unless the physical or mental condition of: the child is such as to render attendance ii,expedient or impracticable: EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATE Employment permits may be issued to boys and girls . between the ages of 14 and 16 to work only when the schools • 1 i 148 are not in session. Educational certificates for boys and girls between.the ages of 16 and 21 may be issued at the office of the Superintendent of Schools in the John Simp- kins High School building. Personal application must be made and evidence of date and place of birth and grade of school last completed must be presented. RESOLUTIONS ON RETIREMENT Whereas. Mrs. Bernice B. Chase, teacher in the Yar- mouth Elementary School, Yarmouth, Massachusetts, whose retirement became effective July 1. 1953, has taught in the Public Schools of the Town of Yarmouth since Septem- ber 1929 and Whereas, Mrs. Chase has dedicated her life to the cause of education, and Whereas, the School Committee �f the Town of Yar- mouth. recognizes that Mrs. Chase has served efficiently the interests of the Yarmouth Schools be it Resolved that the Yarmouth School Committee ex- press to Mrs. Chase its appreciation of her devotion to her profession. and extend to Mrs. Chase sincere best wishes fcr her future happiness and cause these sentiments to be written in its records and send her a copy of these resolu- tions. Mr. Norman Dinsmore, Principal of the Yarmouth High School for the past eight years, resigned July 31, 1953 to accept a similar position in the Town of Sharon. The best wishes of the School Department go with Mr. Dinsmore to his new position. Mr. Asa Daggett, Principal of the Biddeford Maine High School. was chosen from a large group of candidates to succeed Mr. Dinsmore. Mr. Daggett is a graduate of Bowdoin College and the University of Maine. ENROLLMENT TRENDS The need for more school space still exists and is a problem that should be given serious consideration. 149 One possible solution of this problem v'ould be a Re- gional High School. Since the idea of such a school is new to this section of the country, I am incorporating in my report a copy of the General Laws pertaining to this subject and a typical agreement form. CHAPTER 71 of the GENERAL JAWS Sections 14 to 161, inclusive Chap- ter 71 of the General I'striking out secs was t ons 14 t ter 638 of the Acts of 1949 by 16. inclusive, as appearing in the Tercentenary Edition, and by inserting in place thereof sections 14 to by 61,1 inclusive. 331 of These sections were further amended and 471 of the Acts the Acts of 1951 and byChapters of 1952.

The return of Mr. George Hill to the Social Science Department. the transfer of Mrs. Marion Baker to Junior and Senior English, the addition of Mrs. Marguerite Oreton to the Commercial Department, and Miss Sona Tahmizian to the Foreign Language Department, and Mr.. Robert Kingsbury to the Social Science Department in Grades 7 and 8, have proven very satisfactory. Our Guidance records, under the direction of Mr. Paul Eckley, are now in a very satisfactory state. We now have complete records with test results for every pupil and the fact that the records are correlated with those of the ele- mentary school gives us a clear picture of each. individual. Glee Club 169 Driver Education The driving course was inaugurated -"in March of 1953 with sixteen seniors completing it and receiving their licenses. Since then it has increased in enrollment and at present there are thirty-one students taking the Yarmouth - Driver -Training course. In order to have more frequent instructions, the class has been divided into two groups according to age. The course consists of both actual behind -the -wheel training .and classroom instruction supplemented by the showing of safety films. The combination gives the student a clear understanding of our laws and their importance. It also is a course in courtesy and teaches respect for the rights of others on the road. The first training group should be prepared to be tested for driving licenses no later than January 7, 1954, and the second group will start the course immediately. Recommendations In view of the fact that the entering classes are con- tinually ,growing larger, it seems necessary that physics and chemistry should be given every year instead of alternating them. The new shop is coining along according to schedule, and we should be moved in to it by February 1. This also means that the home economics classes will be installed in new quarters at about the same time which will increase the scope and value of the department greatly. - In closing, I wish to express my gratitude to you, the School Committee. and members of the faculty for making my first. year such a pleasant one. Respectfully. submitted, ASA P. DAGGETT Yarmouth High School Principal 170 REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools -- Bass River,. Massachusetts Dear Sir : - I herein submit my fourth annual report as Principal of the Yarmouth Elementary School. There have been many attempts to define education and its goals. One simple such attempt by Ione Snow is: to develop people who could and would function in a de- mocracy. If we give a little thought to.the above we come up with a few qualities needed by such a person that might be developed in our program. They might be (1) good physical health, (2) good emotional health, (3) the ability to get along with people, (4) the ability to reason, (5) certain skills, (6) a sense of values. (7) an understanding of his environment and (8) some spiritual development. These are some of the goals we strive for at Yarmouth Elementary School. This type of person cannot be devel- oped under a simple 3R drill program but must have many and varied activities as well as drill which have been chosen with the above in mind. This is possible only to the degree that parents provide the environment conducive to such learning and teachers, who have a warm regard for young- sters and a never failing faith in people, continue to study and work .with these goals in mind. We, as a group of professional folk, continue our efforts to improve ourselves professionally as well, as to work, study and strive to carry out .the program desired by you so that your children may have the above desired qualities when they leave school. Parents have the opportunity to see (1) that the chil- dren have suitable classrooms in whieh to develop, (2) that sufficient supplies and materials as well as textbooks are available for such a program and (3) that good home school relations exist. 171 Working together, teachers and parents, we can assure for the children a maximum of growth and development along the most desirable lines. — In closing, may I take this opportunity to thank you and the Yarmouth School Committee for your assistance and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT A. BRAGG, Principal Yarmouth Elementary School REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN During the 1953 school year, all the routine physical ex- aminations have been taken care of. These include exam- inations of the heart, throat, feet, weight, etc., as well as thorough examinations of pupils participating in school • athletics. Any physical defect found or special problem needing medical attention has been reported to the parents. homeMany of these reports to parents have been followed by - visits. A large number of health examinations have been given throughout the year of pupils between the ages of 14-16 who have been desirous of working after school hours, Saturdays and other times when school is not in session. This is done in compliance with the General Laws Relating to Education, Chapter 149, Section 87, (3) which states that a certificate must be signed by a "school or family physician, or by a physician appointed by the school com- mittee, stating that the child has been thoroughly examined by said physician, and in his op eion is in sn orknwhich the tly sound health and physically able to perform the child intends to do." The majority of these examinations were given during the summer months. while school Emergency calls for accidents occurring was in session and requiring medical attention have been answered and taken care of as soon as possible. Numerous examinations have been made of children returning to school, after absence due to a contagious disease, who have not secured from their family physician or the Board of Health the certificate of health required by State Law as set forth in Chapter 71, Section 55 of the General Laws Relating to Education which says, in part, that "A child returning to school after having been absent on account of infection or exposure to a contagious disease shall present a certificate from the board of health or its duly appointed agent that the danger of conveying such disease has passed provided, that if such a child returns to school without such a certificate, after having been absent on account of such infection or exposure, he shall imme- diately be referred to a school physician for examination, and, if it is found by -such physician, upon such examina- tion. that such danger has passed, he may remain at school." Cooperation on the part of the school nurse, the Super- intendent of Schools, teachers and parents has been ex- cellent. Respectfully submitted, HERMON E. HOWES, M.D. School Physician REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE Mr. Alfred R.- Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir The following is my second report as school nurse in Yarmouth: Annual physical examinations, as required, were given . to all children by Dr. Hermon Howes, assisted by the nurse. -The health observations for.each child are kept on a cumu- lative health card, recorded by the nurse. The school nurse completed follow-up work, reporting on remediable defects discovered by the physical examina- tions, vision and hearing tests. .173 Throughout the school year, students are given the Massachusetts Vaxion Test, those who appear to need treat- anentare referred to an Oculist. 539 students were tested in Yarmouth. the District Nurs- ing Annual Eye Clinic sponsored by Association, was held March 3.

School Nurse 174 REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARIAN Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I am pleased to submit my fourth annual report as Librarian of Yarmouth High School. The value and service of the Library continues .to in- crease each year. It -has now become well established as a focal point of the curricula activity; many taking ad- vantage of its faeilities after the regular school hours. For the second year, all Freshmen and Senior English classes have been given a course in Library Science. During the next semester the same course will be given to the Junior English classes. This procedure will enable all those now attending High School to complete. the course. We are very grateful for a new four -drawer steel file • which has recently been added to the 'Library. This will enable us to increase our pamphlet collection which will be of great value to the' students as a source of reference. In June a new set of "Encyclopedia Americana" was purchased which has been much appreciated. The ency- clopedias are used to such an extent that a new set is needed- each year. One period a day has been set aside exclusively for the use of the Junior High School students. This time affords them an opportunity to do research work or reading. Again we have a Student Library Staff of nine girls who work very efficiently taking care of small details at the desk. The work they do allows the Librarian more time to supervise and assist students with research work. Books cir•;ulated since ,,anuary 1, 1953 total 3295. Of these, 1941 were fiction and 1354 non-fiction. Magazines .. loaned total 224 and pamphlets 75. In closing, I wislr to express my sincere appreciation to you, to the School Committee, to Mr. Asa P. Daggett, 175• Principal, and to every member of the faculty for their support and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Marguerite Garland Librarian REPORT OF THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon . Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: It is a privilege to have the opportunity to submit this report .of the Commercial Department of Yarmouth high School. Increased enrollment in this Department has necessi- tated a division of classes, and in this way individual dif- ferences and individual personal interest .in each and every student may continue to be met. I believe that future requirements of the Commercial Department will encourage the reorganization of the present curriculum- for the pur- pose of providing students whose aptitudes and interests qualify them. for diversified training in the development of skill in either clerical or secretarial training. I feel it is important that there is a sharing of knowledge between teacher and student and among students in the classroom; and Nvith the intrinsic values of both group and individual instruction, a student will receive training which will en- able her to find her place in society. Employers are seeking out Yarmouth graduates which is most gratifying; and when each student secures and holds a position, his experience enables future employees' success. Graduates of the Department have. been imme- diately employed in banks, public utilities, insurance offices here and in Boston, government- positions in Washington. I feel it is a personal responsibility to accompany a student upon her first interview for the purpose of giving her con- 176 Science and encouragement and aLso to represent the school in its interest in the success of its graduates. In addition to the training received in Bookkeeping, Shorthand, and Typewriting and other essential subjects, students are also being trained in the use of office machines which include the Friden Electric Calculator, two Victor Adding Machines, Sundstrand Electric Calculator, Ediphone,. Mimeograph graph Machine, and Ditto Duplicating Machine. With the increase in class enrollment, it will be necessary to provide more equipment. In one of the two commercial classrooms bul- letin board has recently been installed largejch is essential to all rooms of classinstruction and a complete, mp etc modern set of bookkeeping charts has also been added. Educational movies are shown frequently, and new methods, these students. ideas and equipment will be used in the instruction of - I wish to express my sincere appreciation to you and Principal Asa P. Daggett and every member of the faculty and personnel' for their cooperation and assistance. Respectfully submitted, Priscilla M. Tinkham Commercial Teacher REPORT OF THE BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DIRECTOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I am pleased to subinit my annual report as director of physical education for boys of the Yarmouth Schools. In late years physical education . has been considered an important phase of general education in contributing toward the total development of school children. Our aims are the same as those of general education in that they 177 are compatible and harmonize with all phases of the educa tional process. At Yarmouth we have tried to. pla2e strong emphasis on developing physical education to a point where it con- tributes to the total development of the child. The devel opment has reached far beyond the original physical aims It has embodied objectives which imply at least a partial responsibility for social and emotional development as well as for health and recreation. Predominately our program is built around the various sports. In the fall we play football. and soccer; in the winter it's basketball, volleyball and tumbling; in the spring it's softball and track. For the pupils to partici- pate successfully in sports and with satisfaction sufficient to assure the desired ends, they must be provided with at least a minimum of information and instruction concerning certain important phases of the. activities. It is this part of the program which is directly related to the intellectual objective. The problems which confronted my program last year, I am pleased to report, have been alleviated: 1. No longer do I have a combination of both sexes in - the intermediate groups. This year I am responsible for only the boys of grades 3-12. • 2. No longer do I have the inclusion of all classes in my secondary groups. This yef,r we have scheduled; as close as possible, a more uniformed class. That is, freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors in separate classes.• On behalf of, the Physical Education Department, I would like to thank you and the Schcol Committee for the installation of new lockers in the boys' dressing room. Respectfully submitted, John A. Hollingsworth, Jr. Director of Physical Education for 'Boys 178 REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION INSTRUCTOR FOR GIRLS Mr. Alfred R.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I submit my report as Art Supervisor in the Yarmouth, Dennis and Brewster School Systems: Progress in the Past Year: 1. Last June, seventy-five original pieces ofart- work from the Yarmouth Dennis and Brewster schools were st 179 exhibited at the Cape Cod Art Association Gallery in Hy- annis. The children's work received several compliments for its. creativeness and originality: 2. Four Art movies have been scheduled for this school term. Two have already been shown; one dealt with Indian masks, the other with the making of a mural. These films are shown only when they do not interfere with regularly scheduled classes. 3. All grades are interested in the art work, with fewer "I ,can'ts" being heard now. Students of all ages are encouraged to express themselves freely. 4. Dome room projects have been completed in various materials new to . many students: clay, sawdust mache, metals, papers, cloth remnants, string, buttons, yarns, egg- shells, and scratchboard. 5. Experimental work has been done in variors grades with native clays, poster paints and pelf -hardening clay; poster paints and sawdust, tear -paper .technique for Christ- mas cards, India inks and watercolors. Silk screen work is also being introduced. 6. Junior High School students produced posters for American Education Week and, in Yarmouth, posters for the Annual Community Town Sing. • Many—home. room teachers are to be commended for their own project work. Objectives in the Near Future: 1. Continue to build up basic art concepts and --ex periment to encourage creativeness. 2. Work with Mr. Levy in the respective grades en- couraging natural history art projects. 3. Encourage participation in, national art contests. The students are entering a number of art contests, doing poster and pictorial work: the humane Society contest; the Scholastic Art Awards contest; the, Treasury Department Student Art. Project. which_ is not a competition, but a project of poster -making to show why we should save money .for Treasury Bonds. 4. Encourage more High School students to volunteer for Art Classes which meet once a week. 5. Look for normal growth and promote creativeness in the children, and not expert perfection. Respectfully submitted, Alfred E. Blanchard Art Supervisor REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC It. was necessary to rebuild the Yarmouth Elementary School Band this year, due to a heavy loss through gradua- tion. The response was excellent, and the new group made its first appearance -at the Christmas program. The High School Band has enlarged to about thirty- five members._ and played at all the home games. This group has progressed to a point whereby they are playing class A high school music, and some professional music, I have. been satisfied with the musical progress of this group. but attendance at school functions has been poor. This is due in part to transportation, lack of parental in- terest, and the secondary roll music receives. To sum up the 'high school group, they have done an amazing job, and some of them will be placed in profes- sional bands very soon. .As for the future, the band will increase next year, however, musical progress will not be much. The only way I can see to make this program offer continuous mu- sical growth. is to obtain an assistant so that my elemen- tary program may be reduced, and allow both of us three activity periods a week in the high school. If this .sub- • ject is to offer the youth a trade, fit them properly for college. a profession, or a .means for wholesome entertain- ment that they may continue through life, something must be done. This past year. besides playing for football, I combined the four . bands of Yarmouth. Dennis and Brewster for a mass band concert. Also, we had an A11 -Cape Band, Or - 181 chestra, and Chorus Which played on the radio. The High Schou] Band performed at the Senior Play, Class Day and Graduation.

Little League Baseball is" for -boys 9 to 12 years old, and upon reaching their 13th birthday, they are•no longer eligible to play, but there was no other similar activity available for the boys graduating from Little League, until they could play in High School and Junior Legion teams. The adult volunteer group who are guiding the Little League program felt a continuation of the program for 13 and 14 year olds would be very beneficial, and they sponsored Pony League (Protect Our Nations Youth), a national organiza- tion similar to Little League. . Before this new program could be started, however, a new playing field was necessary since Pony League uses, a field larger than Little League but smaller than a regula- tion baseball diamond. This problem Was presented to the voters of the Town of Yarmouth at the town meeting, Feb- ruary 10, 1953. article 55 in. the warrant, and was passed appropriating $3500.00 for the' purpose of .constructing a baseball field. These funds, together with many contribu- tions of labor and material, provided for the completion of the new field in time for the opening of scheduled games, May 24th. at which time the field was dedicated. There was a turnout of 66 boys for the four Pony League teams, named the Braves, Yankees, Red Sox and Giants. The selection of the teams and operation of the League is the same as Little League. The Pony League teams played on Tuesday.

Gentlemen: I herewith submit my annual report as Chairman of the Board of Appeals. - During the year 1953 the board acted on -65 petitions for variances, 50 of which were allowed. and 15 of .fvhich were denied. It is to be noted that several of the petitions which were granted, were in fact modifications of the pe tition submitted to the board. The board .has constantly striven to uphold the zoning ordinances, and at the same time to hear fully every appel- lant and interested party present, in order that a hardship not intended by the particular zoning ordinance would not be inflicted. The board members are -to be commended for the fair and open minded consideration shown to each. applicant, and also for acting in those situations v: here it was neces- sary to deny or modify petitions when the welfare of the town and the intent of the zoning by-law so required. This is sometimes a difficult thing to do, but mandatory for the - welfare of the town. The board has benefited from the valuable assistance of Mr. Kenneth Harvey Studley who returned from the ser- vice to resume his duties as clerk of the board. Mrs. Dorothy Z. Ingraham is to be praised for her faith- ful and valuable assistance in sending notices, and for her meticulous .stenographic work at our hearings. Also Mr. Reginald Love by his attendance has aided the board in supplying the necessary background in many of the -cases arising under the zoning laws and building code.
