Summary The proposed amendment to the Constitution amends the existing constitutional provisions which direct the division of the Commonwealth into 240 representative districts and 40 senatorial districts. It provides for a census of the inhabitants of each city and town in the Commonwealth in the year 1971 and in every tenth year thereafter. The census in 1971 is to be the basis for 52 determining the representative and senatorial districts for the ten- year period beginning January 1, 1975. Each subsequent census shall be the basis for determining the districts for each ten-year period beginning the fourth January following each census, so that the census in 1981 will determine the districts as of January, 1985, etc. The amendment provides that the house of representatives shall consist of two hundred and forty members and the senate of forty members. In its first regular session following each census, the Legislature shall divide the Commonwealth into two hundred and forty representative districts of contiguous territory and forty senatorial districts also of contiguous territory. Each representa- tive district shall contain, as nearly as may be, an equal number of inhabitants according to the census. Each senatorial district shall also contain as nearly as may be an equal number of inhabi- tants according to the census. A representative district shall not unite two or more counties, towns, or cities, or parts thereof, or a city and a town, or parts thereof, in one district unless the same is unavoidable. Further, no town of less than six thousand inhabi- tants shall be divided in forming representative districts. It is also provided that the County of Dukes County and Nantucket County shall each be a representative district, notwithstanding the fore- going. The senatorial districts, each of which shall elect one Sena- tor, shall be formed without uniting two counties or parts of two or more counties, unless the same is unavoidable. Each representative shall be an inhabitant of the district for which he is chosen at least one year immediately preceding his election, and each senator shall be an inhabitant of the district for which he is chosen at the time of his election and shall have been an inhabitant of the Commonwealth for at least five years imme- diately preceding his election. Any representative or senator who ceases to be an inhabitant of the Commonwealth shall cease to represent his district. The amendment also provides that the Legislature (1) may by law limit the time within which judicial proceedings may be in - situated calling in question any such division and (2) shall prescribe by law the manner of calling and conducting elections for the choice of representatives and of ascertaining their election. Finally, the amendment annuls the existing constitutional pro- visions with respect to apportionment of representative and sena- torial districts, although those provisions will remain in effect until January 1, 1975.

Days 86 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGISTRARS OF VOTERS The Board of Registrars of the Town of Yarmouth submit their report for the year 1970. In addition to registrations of voters in the Town Clerk's Office during regular office hours, ten regular sessions were held and One Thousand Three Hundred Sixty-three (1,363) new voters were registered and their names added to the voting lists of the Town. Four Hundred Forty-eight (448) names were removed from the voting lists, One Hundred Seventeen (117) on account of death, Three Hundred Ten (310) on account of change of residence and Twenty-one (21) on account of change of name. On December 31, 1970 there were Seven Thousand Ninety- eight (7,098) registered voters in the Town as follows: Men Women Total Precinct No. 1 143 168 311 Precinct No. 2 379 437 816 Precinct No. 3 1,611 1,916 3,527 Precinct No. 4 1,118 1,326 2,444 Total 3,251 3,847 7,098 For those wishing to register to vote may we remind you that you may register at the appointed registration sessions or at any time during office hours at the Office of the Town Clerk. Respectfully submitted James S. Keaveney Louis F. Moruzzi Richard G. Kinkead Gerald O. Cash Registrars of Voters REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN and MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sirs: SHADE TREE DEPARTMENT During the Fall of 1970, seventy-five trees were planted along the roadways of the Town. Forty-three of this number were shade trees, and thirty-two were flowering trees. This year we planted 87 many of the trees in areas that had lost Pine trees due to the Pine Tip Moth. These new trees were all fertilized, staked, and guyed, for protection. This department also removed many of the unsightly, dead Pine trees along the town roadways. The Public Utility Companies have had the New England Tree Service in the town during the past year to prune the trees away from the wires. DUTCH ELM DEPARTMENT Six samples of suspicious Elm trees were taken during the year, and three of these were found to have Dutch Elm disease. All of these diseased trees were on the north side of the town, and all were promptly removed. The dormant spraying of the Elm trees was done by helicopter in April. This spraying is done to protect the trees from the Elm Bark Beetle. Methy-chlor was used as the insecticide as recom- mended by the State, for control of this pest. The foliage spraying for the Elm Leaf Beetle was done by mist blower during the summer months. Sevin was the insecticide used for control at this time. The Elm trees were, once again, pruned, and cleaned of dead wood, during the winter months. INSECT PEST CONTROL During this past year spraying for the Tent Caterpillars was carried on, as usual. There seems to be an increasing number of these pests, and the department sprays all that can be found along the roadsides. They are mostly found among the Cherry Trees, and Beachplums on the South side of the town, during the end of April and the beginning of May. It would be appreciated if towns- people who know areas that have Tent Caterpillar that we haven't found and sprayed, would contact me, so we may keep this pest under control. An area on the North side of the town, which includes Camp Greenough, was found to be badly infested with Gypsy Moth. One thousand acres in this area were sprayed during the last part of May by helicopter using the recommended insecticide Sevin. The spraying was done at this particular time, because the moth was in its larva (caterpillar) stage, and spraying it at this time in its cycle, would have more effect. This largely wooded area was so badly infested, that we felt the spraying was only 50% effective, this we felt was due to the short residual effect of this insecticide, which is the best the State can recommend at this time. This entire area will have to be sprayed again this year as well as other areas to which it may have spread. It is feared that this pest is really going to be a problem over the entire Cape this year, defoliating, weakening, and eventually killing many Oak trees. 88 The Oak trees have also been hit by another pest this year, it is the Oak Leaf Skeletonizer. This pest is annoying to household- ers, but causes damage only to unhealthy trees. It is recommend- ed that no action be taken against these pests as the sprays usually have less effect on them than their natural enemies. They hit twice a year in early summer, and again in September and October. They are tiny white caterpillars that hang from the trees on long threads. This past year we feel we have finally found an insecticide that has an effect on the Nantucket Pine Tip Moth. We feel that the areas that were sprayed during June and July with Cygon are looking much greener and healthier. We intend to spray all af- fected areas at the same time this coming year with Cygon, with the hope that we finally have this pest under control, and will not lose many more Pine trees, because of the Pine Tip Moth. The Beach and Park areas and roadsides were once again sprayed for Poison Ivy, wood ticks, and other summer pests, during June, July, and August. Respectfully submitted, Jon L. Holmes Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent REPORT OF THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE 1970 To the Board of Selectmen and the citizens of the Town of Yarmouth, I hereby submit the following report as Shellfish Con- stable for the year ending December 31, 1970. Clams and quahogs remain slowly on the decline in the areas all over town. We are forced to cut down on shellfish days in order to allow proper natural re -seeding and transplanting. There are several reasons for this and I will attempt to explain a few. We have an increase in shellfish permits of five hundred since 1965. The Town has the same shellfish areas it had 40 to 50 (or more) years ago. With the growth of the Town, we are going to have to use more drastic measures to insure we do not over -fish these areas. With the increase of our population and off -Cape vis- itors, I have found the need of education a factor in shellfisheries. The threat of the human predator of shellfish increases with the increase of permits, ( and people without permits) . This past summer, this department conducted several youth programs on how to properly dig and measure adult shellfish ; identify nature's predators, etc. I think this might be a start for future conservation and propagation. On the increase, at this same time, are natural predators such as 89 the clam worm ( which caused a high mortality rate in clams this year.) The increase of Codium fragile (a dark green sponge -like seaweed) in Lewis Bay, limited scallop production this year. It is a rapid growing seaweed that takes over sizeable areas of the ocean bottom, upsetting the ecological balance in the process. Mercury tests in different areas of town, (taken in December) showed shellfish in the Town of Yarmouth to be way below the maximum standard allowed by the Dept. of Public Health. There will be an article in the 1971 Town Warrant for services and equipment of a Marine Biologist to work with this Department, during the summer months. We find this necessary, due to the cut in the Commonwealth's "Lack of Funds" programing. The Com- monwealth has designated one Shellfish Biologist for the whole coast of Massachusetts, which means his individual assistance to the town is limited. It is my desire to find productive areas of 10 to 20 years ago and determine why they are not producing today ; and what action can be taken to regain this production. This year we moved 300 bushels of scallop seed to try to re- establish an old area ; bought and planted over 300 bushels of qua- hogs ; transplanted 52 bushels of excellent seed quahogs from Hy- annis Park to other areas in Town ; planted 100 bushels of oysters ( the "Raft System" was not put into use this year because "seed string" was unavailable) . We also transplanted approximately 100 bushels of seed clams to different areas along Bass River. I ask the people of the Town of Yarmouth, who enjoy the privilege of shellfishing, to keep up with the Rules and Regulations ; and know and understand them. Changes in the Rules and Regu- lations are made April 1st and October 1st with amendments as deemed necessary. The Rules and Regulations are available at the Town Hall. PERMITS ISSUED IN 1970 Family Permits 1529 @ $ 1.00 $1,529.00 Non -Resident Family Permits 154 @ $ 2.00 $ 308.00 Commercial Permits 33 @ $20.00 $ 660.00 TOTAL PERMITS ISSUED: 1716 $2,497.00 At this time, I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen, Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth, Department of Marine Fish- eries of the Commonwealth, and other Departments of the Town of Yarmouth for their cooperation during the past year.

Beauregard Executive Director GOLF COURSE COMMITTEE'S REPORT Activity at the Bass River Golf Course started very slowly in 1970. With more than average snow cover during January, Febru- ary and March, income from winter golf dropped sharply. How- ever, the arrival of Spring brought with it the annual resuscitation of our golf course, a corresponding improvement in the activity and dispositions of our golfers and before the year ended, another new annual income record had been ' established. Please see the following comparative figures: TOTAL INCOME RETURN TO CART LEASING AGENCY 1970 $154,819.00 $10,338.00 1969 152,002.00 9,226.00 1968 121,106.00 5,838.25 1967 92,205.00 With 607 members and the number of day guests still increas- ing, we are appreciative of the efficient and dedicated help our Manager, our Course Superintendent and their assistants are pro - 91 viding. We also recognize that our golf course, like a family car, cannot continue to give good and enjoyable service year after year with only minimum repairs and upkeep. We intend to continue our policy of planning major improvements each year in order that our golf course may continue to be a major recreational attraction. Again - many thanks to our members for their thoughtful help in innumerable ways. We will attempt to match their pride by maintaining an attractive and efficiently run golf course.

Holmes CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE TOWN REPORT - 1970 December 31, 1970 On May 21, 1970 the eleven Cape Cod towns of Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Brewster, Harwich, Chatham, Orleans, East- ham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown conducted special town meetings to vote overwhelmingly to accept the legal agreement to establish a new Regional Technical High School District. Shortly thereafter each moderator appointed two members to the school committee. Oscar W. Doane Jr. and Joel M. Wolfson were appointed to represent Yarmouth until the 1971 annual town meet- ing, and Mr. Wolfson was elected by the large school committee to serve as its chairman. The twenty-two members first assessed two methods for creat- ing the philosophy and specifications for the new school, either 'conferring with an educational consultant or employing a super- intendent -director. The committee decided on the latter, and the search began. After extensively advertising the new position, the committee received many applications. An initial screening by the Massachusetts Department of Education took place ; tests were administered, and interviews were held. The school committee unanimously selected Victor Mazzarella, the director of the Barn- stable Vocational High School. 92 Many other choices were necessary. The legal counsel was selected by naming Harold Hayes, West Yarmouth; the fiscal agent, The First National Bank of Cape Cod; the architect, Drum- mey Rosane Anderson, Newton Highlands ; the treasurer, Ted Hicks, Eastham ; and the office location until the school is built, Route 28, Dennisport. Each selection was made after careful, time-consuming investigation. Nine sub -committees will serve the full committee as informa- tion gathering forces. These will work in the areas of: Finance, Clause N Election, Site Selection, Architect Negotiation, Person- nel, Curriculum, Public Relations, Executive Matters, and Advis- ory Committees. This last committee, as each area of the curric- ulum is selected, will appoint tradesmen in that area in the district to advise the superintendent -director as to the proper techniques and equipment to be taught in the new school. Soon the full committee will have its first choice site ap- praised, surveyed, and tested and then will advertise by brochure and newspaper for a Clause N. Election. This will be the first election of its kind in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. An election will take place in each of the eleven towns on the same date by written ballot in order to vote for the funds necessary to purchase the land and employ the architect to create the working drawings for the building. We have existed for seven months and the twenty-two school committee members have come to respect one another and work extremely well together. It has been a worthwhile experience and we are happy to serve our town in this manner. Respectfully submitted, Joel M. Wolfson Oscar W.

Raymond Darling, Yarmouth Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: This is my Twelfth Report as Veterans' Agent and Director for our District Department of Veterans' Services. 93 The Department this year added an Investigator to assist the Director because of the increase in case work and investigations. Mr. Sidney L. Chase was so appointed. He has made 270 house investigations and 65 Nursing Home visits. Besides doing the in- vestigation work, Mr. Chase interviews most of the returning vet- erans of the Vietnam era, and transports, on emergency only, some veterans to V.A. Hospitals. I would like to state that all of the returning Vietnam veter- ans are taking full advantage of the G.I. Bill, and that is a good sign for the future. The unsung persons in an office such as mine are the clerks: Mrs Josephine Angell, Principal Clerk, and Mrs. Muriel Erat, Med- ical Clerk'. They have added greatly to the efficient administrative workings of our Department. Following is a composite report of the towns in our District: Permanent Temp.

Cross Director and Agent REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH HOUSING AUTHORITY January 7, 1971 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth, So. Yarmouth, Mass. E. William Richardson, Deputy Commissioner Department of Community Affairs 100 Cambridge Street Boston, Massachusetts 02202 Mr. Thaddeus Buszko, State Auditor State House Boston, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Yarmouth Housing Authority is pleased to report that in the calendar year 1970, we progressed with our maintenance pro- gram. It consisted of refinishing floors and stairs in eight halls of tenant buildings, the entire floor of the community building in- cluding the office floor. Three apartments were completely re- furbished. Our contemplated maintenance program includes paint- ing the outside sidewalls and trim of four tenant buildings and the community building. The Housing Project, consisting of 40 units has been fully occupied for the entire year and there are on file approximately twenty applications for future admissions from Yarmouth residents. Briefly, eligibility requirements are that a person must be 65 years of age or over (single individuals living alone, or couples are eligible) and of low income. The average monthly rent, including heat, electricity and water is $50.00. A financial statement of operation as of December 31, 1970 is: - Income including state aid $45,587.52 Expense 41,922.14 $ 3,665.38 Respectfully submitted, Howard A. Spurr, Chairman James H. Brown, Vice Chairman Spear T. Holway, Treasurer Peter G. Homer Edward M. Webster 95 REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES December 31, 1970 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: During the year 1970, this department made 1633 inspections, covered approximately 2500 miles, and spent 310 hours in the office. During the month of April, Mr. Edmund Fruean, Jr. retired after serving the town as inspector of wires for 36 years. Since the 1st of May, a fee of $2.50 has been charged for each and every inspection. In the eight months, from May 7, 1970 to December 31, 1970, the town took in $2872.50 for these inspections. This will greatly reduce the expense of this department to the tax- payer. Respectfully submitted, John F. Stever Inspector of Wires REPORT OF BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPT. Board of Health Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: I am pleased to submit this annual report of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1970. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has reintro- duced two bills for action in the 1971 legislative session. House bill 207: "An act requiring local official health agencies to ensure basic health services to all persons within their jurisdiction and promoting the formation of areawide local official health agencies." House bill 208: "An act relating to the reimbursement of local official health agencies for basic health services." These are es- sentially the same as last year. The major focus is defining and establishing basic health ser- vices and ensurance of the availability and accessibility of these services to all persons. We recommend a study of these two bills which are important to all boards of health and the citizens of The Commonwealth. 96 The continued population growth of Barnstable County con- tinues to iiiciease the need and demand for all health services. The professional staff work load has been carefully evaluated and we shall make recommendations for employing more assistant staff workers, particularly, in the field of environmental health. Dental Health Dental Health Education continued to be the program emphasis with consultation to school and community programs. Direct ser- vices such as topical fluoride and screening programs were limited to pre-school children and head start programs. The County Health Department continued participation in the dental research proj- ect with the Barnstable School System, Forsyth Dental Center and Massachusets Department of Public Health to study the fluoride content of children's teeth in a non -fluoride area. Dental caries continues to be a top priority public health prob- lem and prevention is a basic health need. We have a preventive measure, Fluoridation, which will dramatically reduce both dental decay and dental bills—all that is needed is positive community action by parents and public officials. Environmental Sanitation Never before has the public been so aware and concerned about the environment. There has been a decided increase in requests for consultation in all phases of board of health functions and particularly in the areas of land use, disposal of sewage and solid wastes, and the protection of air and water resources. Sev- eral laws are now in effect to safeguard these resources and more studies and regulations can be expected. The routine surveillance program is influenced by the con- tinued steady growth in county -wide service programs such as: the licensing of 28 day care centers for preschool children, the inspec- tion of food service establishments, swimming pools, recreational camps and family tent sites, and epidemiological field surveys. - Social Service The Medical Social Worker has continued to work closely with all members of the staff of the County Health Department. Emphasis has been placed on interpretation to the community of the role of the Medical Social Worker on the Public Health Team. Consultation has been given to community and school nurses, local physicians, Boards of Health, Hospital and Nursing Home per- sonnel and public and private agencies. Over 175 families in Barn- stable County have been served with many referrals being made to local agencies. Fifty-five home calls were made, with every town on the Cape visited. Through the cooperative efforts of the Social Worker, the State Department of Education, and the Nauset Regional School Committee, the first pre-school Nursery for Deaf Children between the ages of 21/2 to 5 years has opened its doors 97 at the old Job Corp Center in Wellfleet with 5 children registered. Along with the Director of Nursing at the County Health Depart- ment the Medical Social Worker has been serving the handicapped children of the county as acting Public Health Social Worker at the Hyannis Crippled Children's Clinic. Active participation in many community organizations has brought about increasing op- portunity to learn more about community problems as they appear in various areas on the Cape, and it is hoped that better coordina- tion of services to meet these problems may be developed. Nursing Service The scope of services provided by the nursing director and assistant director continues to expand, to the point where priorities of need have to be determined. I. Orientation and much assistance for the first two years of employment are given to nurses newly employed in town and in public and private schools. The custom continues to be that several part-time or full-time nurses are hired, rather than regionalization or extension of service by a qualified ex- perienced nurse. There are now 57 public health nurses working in the county, an increase of 72% in the past six years. II. Consultation to nursing organizations has increased. The Falmouth Nursing Association is involved in analysis of the services to school and hospital, the Visiting Nurse Associa- tion of Central Cape Cod is expanding its in-service ed- ucation programs and extending service, the School Nurses Association is exploring personnel policies and role functions, the professional advisory committees for Home Health Ag- encies are beginning to develop procedures for the evalua- tion of their services, the Nursing Service Directors Com- mittee is looking at its responsibility as a spokesman in com- prehensive health planning. III. The number of Headstart services and other new day care centers has increased ; much time has been devoted to rep- etition of desired practices of operation, to implementation of rules and regulations as required by state law, to the arrangements for periodic evaluation meetings. There has been extension and improvementof the management of services at the lower Cape Chest Clinic and in the services for Handicapped Children. The function of a public health nurse in a clinic setting is being explored with the intention Df providing more related health education and supportive assistance to families at the clinics and in making more meaningful referrals to public health nurses for continued care at home. 98 IV. Provision of in-service education programs for public health nurses has been changing. Agencies and hospitals are em- ploying more supervisors and educational directors to carry out this function. Our role has been to advise and coordin- ate, and to provide those programs which would have in- terest to the majority and which are based on documented need. We are continuing with the aim of strengthening maternal and child health services. When appropriate we indicate our current focus to other agencies which provide programs for groups of nurses. The sharing of library and audio-visual materials by the Cape Cod Community College and the hospitals and agencies will, increase the resources available to public health nurses. V. After reviewing plans proposed for this past year, we find that many are on-going and will continue to be carried on. The one which has been difficult to develop is the. basic one of studying the "effectiveness of supervision" as of- fered to nurses in Home Health Agencies and schools. More thought as to the implementation of this goal will be needed. Personnel of the department as of December 31, 1970 Mary Susich, R.N., B.S., M.P.H., County Health Officer Ruth J.

Sturtevant, B.S., R.S., M.Sc., Public Health Sanitarian Respectfully submitted, Mary Susich County Health Officer 99 REPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. Submitted herewith is the Report of Activities and Arrests of the Police Department for the year 1970. It is the fervent hope of myself and the members of the Police Department that, one of these years, the arrests logged by the department will begin to decline, thereby indicating a trend towards obedience of the law. Unfortunately, the year 1970 was not that year. Much of the increased activity of your police department can be laid to the influx of the summer tourist, but not all. Situations requiring police involvement occur with ever-increasing regularity during what used to be known as "the Off Season". Breaks into closed (or) summer homes are on the upswing, as is the use of narcotics and harmful drugs by .our local popula- tion, the majority of which are in their early twenties and middle or late teen years. The use of marijuana has infiltrated the middle - school ranks and, occasionally, finds its way into the elementary years. Many of us are reluctant to admit to a drug. problem in the Town of Yarmouth, but the fact is, there is a problem, an unhealthy one that must be faced. Enforcement is not the answer. It is, how- ever, a factor we can ill afford to disregard. Education from the lower school level continuing through high school relative to the cause and effect of drug use is a positive must. An opportunity to get "unhooked" must be afforded those already addicted to the use of narcotics or harmful drugs via a counselling and "self- help" program. At this time Yarmouth has no such program but we must start action along these lines and soon. In 1970 we initiated a K-9 Unit within the department struc- ture. Some citizens were sceptical, others enthusiastic: We, on the department, adopted a, "wait and see" attitude relative to its ef- fectiveness. To date, the acquisition of these dogs and the training of their handlers has proved to have a remarkable deterrant effect. Not only has the incidence of breaks into closed businesses de- creased markedly but the area of officer injury due to involvement in various forms of violence has ceased to exist. These dogs have been instrumental in finding lost children, escapees from various institutions, and persons involved in break- ing and enterings. As the town increases in size, so must the police department reflect this increase in population by a rising budget. This year, as in years past, we have made an effort to cooperate with your 100 Finance Committee in keeping our budget to a minimum and yet maintain an effective police force. The effectiveness of a police department depends largely on the quality of its personnel. Our success in policing the town has been due, to a great extent, to the quality of our officers. This has been made possible by you, the taxpayer, in your backing of the department in the annual and special town meetings. During the past twenty-four years I can recall occasions when we would have to hire men merely because they applied for the job. The work and the pay was far from at- tractive. During the last half -decade you have improved your de- partment by improving the pay scale, OKing new equipment and vehicles, voting for so-called "fringe benefits" and otherwise im- proving the policeman's lot. Now we eliminate the undesirables via I.Q. tests, written examinations, minimum educational require- ments and physical aptitude tests. The general public is beginning to take a genuine interest in their policemen as evidenced by an "open house" sponsored by the Dennis Junior Women's Club in December. The turnout ex- ceeded all expectations. It is human nature to desire to be "need- ed". Policemen are no exception. The crowds attending the open house served as a morale -booster of immeasurable proportions. It is sincerely hoped that the citizens of the Town will not wait for the next "open house" to visit their police department. The door is open twenty-four hours a day. The purchaser is ex- pected to inspect the product he has bought. At the risk of "blow- ing our own horn" we believe that you have "bought" a police department that will take a back seat to none. It is estimated (based on a 12,500 population figure) that each person pays, via taxes, $32.00 per year for police protection. Sounds almost like a bargain basement figure. The services you receive are well worth the price. Consider, if you will, the following: Emergency rescue and transportation service, a narcotics unit, juvenile investigative division, felonies & misdemeanors investiga- tive section, K-9 unit and a traffic section. The manpower is dis- tributed as follows: Chief, Deputy. Chief, Lieutenant, four Ser- geants, four special officers (narcotics, juvenile, identification and maintenance officers) and twenty-one patrolmen. Each patrolman is capable of identifying with any of the various sections with the exception of the K-9 unit. This year we are asking for an additional German Shepherd police dog for the K-9 "Corps". This third dog will give the town complete coverage between the hours of four pm and eight am, seven days a week. We are further requesting the addition of one man to the department. The position of Lieutenant has been re- quested of, and approved by, the Personnel Board. In making this 101 promotion we create a vacancy in the ranks. This new officer will fill that vacancy. In closing we, of the Police Department, would like to express our thanks for services rendered and cooperation to the following: The Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee and Personnel Board, the Dennis Junior Women's Club, the Police Wives Association and, last but not least, you, the taxpayer. Respectfully, Theodore P. Reynolds Chief of Police.

Neither the categories nor the figures coincide with those of the Yarmouth Police Department because the chart here presented is an attempt to give an indica- tion of general types of cases that most frequently reached the trial stage in the First District Court. Furthermore, some of the motor vehicle violation cases and cases listed in the other crimes category involve more than one defendant but were listed as only one case on the prosecutions chart, whereas the Police Department would list them by number of defendants. CONTINUANCES The number of continuances granted to both the Common- wealth and the defendants have not been listed in the chart above because, for the most part, this would be a deceiving and meaning- less figure ; many of the cases were continued several times before going to trial. On the average, there were approximately as many continuances during the course of a week as there were guilty verdicts. Continuances are a constant source of aggravation to the court, the police and the defendants. Ideally, all should be eliminated so as to keep the court from incurring an overcrowded calendar. The problem seems to be what standards the court should set down for allowance or denial or continuances. Surely, if an attorney is on trial in another court, or if a key witness is out sick, these are valid reasons for continuances. On the other hand, failure of wit- nesses to appear on the day that a case is set for trial, or failure on the part of the defendant to retain an attorney for the date of the trial, should be handled in a different manner. DISMISSALS A dismissal of a case in the District Court means that charges have been withdrawn by the Commonwealth against a defendant. However, unlike a finding of "not guilty" a dismissed case can be reinstated should the Commonwealth choose to do so. This is because the defendant has not been put in double jeopardy. Dismissed cases occur for a number of reasons, the most com- mon of which is that witnesses for the Commonwealth wish to drop charges against the defendant. This most often occurs in non- support and bad check cases. Assault and battery cases are also subject to dismissal through a process known as "accord and satis- faction". That is, where the complainingwitness and the defend- ant choose to make a financial settlement of the dispute between them rather than have the case heard as a criminal action, they may ask the court to allow this. 107 Should the Commonwealth move for a dismissal, the court will accept it only if the defendant consents to the dismissals in open court. Because a dismissal does not prevent the Common- wealth from recharging the defendant, many defense attorneys will not accept a dismissal, but will insist upon a trial if confident of a not guilty verdict. There are also occasions when witnesses become unavailable to the Commonwealth. Rather than go to trial and suffer an ir- reversible not guilty verdict, the Commonwealth will ask for a dismissal in hopes that the witnesses will reappear at a later date. Of the seventeen cases dismissed by this office from June 16 through December 31, 1970, nine of them were narcotics cases in which the Commonwealth lacked evidence to prove knowing presence on the part of the defendant, four were dismissed at the request of the complainant, one was dismissed after the defendant passed a lie -detector examination, the remainder were dismissed because the witnesses failed to appear for the Commonwealth. UNIFIED CALENDARING SYSTEM Since the office of prosecutor for the three towns of Barnstable, Yarmouth, and Mashpee began operating on June 16, there has been a unified calendaring system between the three towns where- by one single calendar is permanently placed in the court for the assignment of cases for each of the three towns. The goal of this office is to have a maximum of eight cases set on a particular date. With the normal rate of attrition due to please and continuances, four would be the average number of trials on such a day scheduled. An attempt to handle more than four trials on a given day usually results in the casehaving to be put over to another date because it is not reached by the court. Unfortunately, the calendar for this office has reached a number as high as seventeen trials scheduled on a given day due to the court backlog incurred in the summer. 108 YARMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT January 11, 1971 To the Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The following is the Annual Report of the activities of the Yarmouth Fire Department for the year 1970: Number of Alarms for the year 348 ALARMS FOR FIRES Residential 54 Mercantile 3 Non -Residential, Assembly 2 Manufacturing 1 Grass & Brush 51 Automobile 38 All other fires 26 175 ALARMS FOR NON -FIRES Honest mistakes, smoke scares, etc. 31 Automobile accidents, gas wash -downs 15 Automatic alarms from protected properties 11 Gasoline spills and leaks 5 Gas leaks ( domestic & street) 9 Lost persons (search) 3 Lightning strikes 3 Emergency -Rescue (auto accidents) 4 Ice Rescue Boat - recovery of persons 3 Ice Rescue Boat - recovery of dogs 4 Water Rescue Boat - search & recovery 7 Bombs reported in buildings 9 Mutual Aid to other Towns (fires) 1 Mutual Aid to other Towns (SCUBA) 4 Household electrical malfunctions 13 Commercial electrical malfunctions 4 Drownings 1 All other classifications 46 173 109 Response by Stations: 165 Alarms sound 183 Still Alarms Headquarters 75* 108 Station 2 Station 3 39°Q 51 28 47 183 67 * Headquarters responded to in another station's area ° ° Station 2 responded to an in another station's area 98 an additional 16 alarms sounded additional alarm (1) sounded One multiple alarm sounded during 1970 (a 2nd alarm Yarmouth area for the Keg & Lilly) Value of buildings & contents involved by fire Loss of buildings & contents paid by insurance Approximate unsettled claims 1970 percentage of loss and unsettled claims Acres of woodlands burned (estimated) Death due to burns sustained by fire Yarmouth Insurance Rating: Dwelling minimum rates - Grade "C" Specifically rated property - Class 5 for West $2,132,220.00 $ 33,570.49 $ 61,950.00 4.4% 8 0 Fires by Causes: Children with matches Careless smoking, disposal of smoking materials Electricity, appliances, cords and wires Burning without permit or permit out of control Automobiles (involving gasoline leaks) Automobiles (involving wiring or all other Furnaces, stoves, other heating apparatus Cooking Fireplaces, flues and chimneys Improper disposal of combustible materials Suspicious (from evidence gathered) Still under investigation Lightning All other causes Undetermined at this time 27 23 22 17 15 causes) 12 Inspections & Investigations by the Fire Prevention Bureau: School buildings & school fire alarm inspections no 6 6 4 3 2 21 11 24 175 9 Innkeepers licensed and inspected 20 Nursing home inspections (2 licensed) 8 Public Safety inspections (building capacities, storage of flammable liquids, decorations in public buildings, emergency lighting, etc.) 28 Suspicious or incendiary fire investigations 4 Trash storage or accumulation violations 10 Oil burner inspections 176 255 The inspections and investigations conducted and the related duties and reports consumed a total of 298 man hours by the de- partme'nt and the bureau. There were 7 firefighters who sustained injuries that required treatment by a doctor. These injuries were received while working at alarms of fire during the year and do not include many instances where firefighters were overcome by smoke during fires as these men were treated at the scene by other firemen. The chief of the department and two full time firefighters at- tended a course at the Cape Cod Community College in the even- ing sessions. The subject was "Fire Department Organization and Management". Mr. Horatio L. Bond, B.S., P.E. was the instructor. Five full time and five call firefighters and three auxiliary fire- fighters attended a course on "Building Fires & Ventilation" dur- ing evening sessions at Hyannis under. the direction of the Super- visor of Fire Training of the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, Division of Occupational Education, Massachusetts Department of Education. These courses will continue to be offered and men of this department will be attending throughout the year. The Fire Science course at the Community College will also be continued with attendance from this department. In closing I wish to express the thanks of the fire department to all town departments for their assistance during the year, to the residents of the town for their cooperation and support, to the Fire Belles for their efforts, and to the officers and men of the fire de- partment I express my sincere thanks for their help.

Robinson TOWN COLLECTOR 114 REPORT OF CAPE COD PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RESOLUTION Requested By Thomas E. Kelley James W. Robertson Yarmouth Representatives to The Cape Cod Planning & Economic Development Commission WHEREAS in a report made by the Metropolitan Area Plan- ning Council, the area on Cape Cod known as the Otis Air Force Base has been found to be desirable and practical for a major jet airport site to supplement Boston Logan Airport and there remains a serious threat that this finding may be implemented ; and WHEREAS Cape Cod is a unique area, historically and geo- graphically, having values in the way of beaches, waterways, open spaces and natural beauty which are of local, state and national importance ; and WHEREAS the establishment of any such major airport at the Otis Air Force Base or any other place on Cape Cod would destroy those unique values and drastically degrade its character ; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that we, the citizens of the Town of Yarmouth at the Annual Town Meeting assembled on this day of March, 1971 do hereby: (1) Oppose the establishment of the jet airport at the Otis Air Base and at any other place on Cape Cod ; and (2) Direct the Board of Selectmen of the town of Yarmouth to do everything they reasonably can to prevent the establish- ment of any such airport, including the making of appropri- ate representations to the Governor, our state and federal representatives. (3) Direct the Selectmen of Yarmouth to do everything which is practical and reasonable to try to create a united oppo- sition to the establishment of any such airport. (4) Direct the Selectmen to keep themselves informed con- cerning all future steps which may be taken or proposed to establish such a jet airport and to keep the citizens of the town informed with respect to such steps or proposed steps. (5) Direct the member and alternate from the town of Yar- mouth -on the Cape Cod Planning and Economic Develop- ment Commission to take note of this resolution and to take appropriate action at the meetings of said Commission. 115 1970 ANNUAL REPORT While the economic life of the Cape has been dependent largely on tourist and vacation expenditures, it is increasingly relying on the expenditures of retirees for a flow of funds for new construction and year-round living expenses. In addition ever in- creasing convention business and the development of light industry is having its impact, and is helping to level off the former extremes in the economic cycle. It is, however, recognized that year-round employment opportunities must be expanded. During the past year the Commission has taken affirmative action on many of the major problems facing us, including: 1. The threat of abandonment of Otis Air Force Base as a military installation, and the suggestion that this would be a prime location for an International jet-port to supplement the facilities at Logan. This has been the subject of exhaustive study by a special committee of the Commission. Based on their analysis the Commission voted not only to condemn such a move, but also empowered the group to prepare a study as to the ultimate usage to which this property might be put so as to preserve the Cape's environment, not destroy it. 2. The Commission has taken a firm stand against further uncontrolled expansion of tourist accommodations, and has urged the towns to effect controls over this type of building. It has fur- ther urged action to prevent the proliferation of strip zoning, while at the same time urging a broad study of building and zoning codes, especially as regards "Planned Unit Development" and "Cluster" development. 3. A committee sponsored by the CCPEDC has made an exhaustive study of the solid waste disposal problem, and their report will be forthcoming in the near future. 4. A limited study of certain traffic problems has been com- pleted, and the draft has been reviewed by Selectmen and Police officials in each town. It is recognized that this is only a very limited report and covers only a minor part of the serious traffic conditions facing us. 5. Professional Consultants are in the final stages of prepar- ing an overall study of the water and sewerage conditions on the Cape, and the Commission believes this will provide a basic docu- ment for future planning in these areas. 6. The Commission . has supported in principal, legislation now pending to make County Government more responsive and to revise certain functions which could be performed more economi- cally on a centralized basis, rather than by each town individually. Commissioners: Thomas E. Kelley James W. Robertson 116 REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH PARK COMMISSIONERS The year 1970 has been a year of continual improvement and reconditioning of the Parks and Beaches. The basketball courts at Wings Grove, Yarmouth Playground and Ried Avenue Play- ground have call been sealed and relined which should last for about seven years. At Wings Grove a new retaining wall has been installed and the parking area paved, also lights have been installed. At Bass River Beach the drain through the parking lot has been cemented and the excavation area paved. The entire parking area should be sealed and striped in 1971. Fencing, shoring or additional equipment was installed at Greys Beach Picnic Area, Yarmouth Playground, the Herring Run on Long Pond Drive, Wilbur Park. Improved parking was provided at the Wind Mill. When we advertised for a contract to pick up the trash in the trash barrels during the summer and take same to the dump the only bid was for more than twice what the Finance Committee al- lowed in our budget, so we decided to empty the barrels ourselves. It really worked out better since when our crews left an area, they took all the trash with them and the barrels were empty to start the day. We also experimented using plastic liners in the barrels and this speeded up the work. We tried to reserve parking for residents only at four south shore beaches which have very limited parking facilities, and in effect, make them neighborhood beaches not open to the general public. Since no fee for parking was collected at these beaches, they had become extremely popular with these residents but there was some criticism that it discriminated against renters. In an ef- fort to determine what alternative actions could be taken, the Town Council was asked for certain information. As a result of his research of our questions, the Town Council determined that, with minor exceptions, the Beaches were not under the Park Com- mission as everyone has assumed, but were under the Selectmen. The Selectmen, in turn, decided against continuing the restricted parking. They also appointed the Park Commissioners and the Park Manager as their agents to operate the parks and beaches. At the end of the year, action has not been taken by the Land Court to settle claims of several individuals who disputed Town ownership of a portion of Sea Gull Beach. The Park Department is now permanently located at 74 Town Brook Road, West Yarmouth in the office formerly occupied by the Highway Department. The Highway Department has turned 117 over to us two double bay garages, one we have equipped for a shop and the other for storage, in addition to the office. We were plagued with oil and seaweed on the beaches all summer and had to utilize the men and equipment of the Highway Department to clean up the beaches sometimes calling on them at five A.M. before performing their regular duties. The Park Department spent $72,524.99 of its budget of $72,- 565.00 in 1970. Receipts from parking and concessions total $61,- 135.00. The net cost of the Park Department to the taxpayers was only $11,389.99, a sizeable reduction from the net cost of $18,- 659.60 in 1969. Major progress was. made during the year in close cooperating between the Park Department and other Town Departments and agencies—notably the Improvement and Beautification Commit- tee, the Highway Department, the Waterways Committee, the Fin- ance Committee and the Police Department. 1970 has been a year of much progress in many areas. Your Park Commission and its staff is looking forward to similar ac- complishments in 1971. Mr. Walter H. Porter, Chairman Mr. David E. Wood, Vice -Chairman Mr. Richard T. Welch Mr. W. Richard Philbrook HISTORIC YARMOUTH PORT DISTRICT COMMISSION 1970 REPORT A total of forty applications for Certificates of Appropriate- ness were acted upon in 1970 by the Commission. Eighteen of these applications were requests to construct new dwellings in the District. The remainder were requests to make alterations, repairs and additions to existing structures, and to erect various fences and signs, also in the District. The many additional questions received from the residents of the District about procedure and about the guide -lines previously published by the Commission, were clearly indicative of their fine cooperation and of their continued interest in the activities of the Commission.

In 1970 we borrowed 114 books from the Falmouth and the Boston Public Libraries. The most important part of this service, at this time, is that it saves space on our book shelves which are fast becoming overcrowded. On November 19th this Library was host for a Regional Chil- dren's Film Workshop. Miss Diane Farrell, Children's Services Librarian and. Mrs. Fish conducted the meeting which was well attended and informative. By attending meetings at Falmouth, Stoughton and the Mas- sachusetts Library Association meeting in Provincetown we have accepted constructive suggestions and observed progressive meth- ods. National Library Week was observed from April 12th to April 19th. Open house was held on Sunday, April 12th. A half-hour of music, furnished by Mrs. Helen Sibley, Violinist, and Mrs. Marian Comstock, Pianist, was most happily received by a record audience. To these two we are extremely grateful for the most inspirational and delightful adult program which we have ever offered. 119 During the week there were many exhibits which acquainted the public with the tremendous original talents of our own local artists and craftsmen. On Saturday morning, for the children, a Puppet show was presented by the gifted Mrs. Jerome Wyeth. None of these pleasures would have been possible except for the untiring efforts and hard work of the committee: Carl Bussey, John Hull, Ida Johnston, Mrs. W. Griffith McRee, Warren Prescott, Mrs. Harold Stose and Sarah Usher and the generosity of "Gotts for Music" which furnished the piano for the musical program. We appreciate all of the services so willingly given. The meetings of the Friends of the Yarmouth Library have been very well attended. In May, Warren Prescott concluded 'a successful three year term as President. He was succeeded by Everett Boise who, with his committee, started the year off with popular programs. A gay and festive Wassail party closed the year 1970 with long -to -be -remembered friendliness and netted over $80.00. We are indebted to the other members of the Board of Trus- tees, to Mrs. Arthur Smith, Assistant Librarian, to the many who have given books and money, to the National Library Week Ex- hibitors, to the Selectmen and members of the Finance Commit- tee and, of course, always, to the loyal and understanding tax- payers, many of whom are our faithful borrowers. Respectfully submitted, Carl H. Bussey, President Martha U. White, Librarian January 4, ,1971 REPORT OF THE WEST YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Board of Selectmen West Yarmouth, Massachusetts The West Yarmouth Library in 1970 topped all previous years in the circulation of books, increase in membership and card hold- ers and the general activity of the library. The new addition to our building was started this year and should be completed in the early spring of 1971. Our library will then have some of the finest facilities in this area. I have attended many meetings and conferences this past year and feel that these are important and worthwhile to give better service to our patrons at the library. 120 We wish to thank our benefactor for his generosity and also our many, many friends who have helped in so many different ways this past year. The cooperation and understanding of a lot of fine people has been most rewarding. We thank the Selectmen and the taxpayers for their interest and cooperation. Respectfully submitted Eleanor E. Finn Librarian West Yarmouth Library REPORT OF THE SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION To the Board of Selectmen: 1970 is now history and once again we submit our annual report. It has been a busy year for the South Yarmouth Library and a rewarding one. Our circulation has shown an increase of 4,026 books, periodicals, records, and pamphlets over 1969. On the 991 books added to our collection, 99 were gifts. We have started a small record collection through the generosity of- our friends, and at present, the entire collection have been gifts from various sources.

Through the offices of the Eastern Regional Library System 121 in Boston, we were able to locate a used case from the Hopkinton Public Library who generously donated this to us free of charge. It has been put into service in the Children's Room and we are indeed indebted to both the Eastern Regional Library System and the Hopkinton Public Library for this fine gift. We were saddened by the death this year of Mrs. Caroline Siebens, beloved librarian for many years. Several of Mrs. Sieben's friends and relatives made donations to the library and some of this money has been used to purchase the beautiful Andrew Wyeth book of paintings and "Norman Rockwell, artist and illustrator" in her memory. We were the recipient this year of a number of books from the collection of the late Frederick E. King of Bass River. These are books on weather and World War I Aviation, two subjects in which. Mr. King had a deep interest. These books are being cata- logued and will be housed in a separate case and may be borrowed by the public. During 1970 I have attended the Massachusetts Library Asso- ciation Annual Meeting at Provincetown May 21st and 22nd, the Cape Cod Library Club Annual meeting at Otis Air Force Base on September 24th, and the New England Library Association Conference at Wentworth -by -the -Sea October 7th through 10th; I have also gone to several area meetings all of which I found in- teresting and helpful. We continue to use the facilities of the Eastern Regional Library System for Inter -Library Loan of materials which we do not own and for films. We borrowed 109 books throughoutthe year and this service is a big help to us. Our thanks for their ex- cellent response to our requests. I would like to express my gratitude to the Board of Directors for their interest and support of our efforts and especially to Mrs. John Keary for her long hours of tender loving care to our gardens ; to Mrs. Nancy Stewart, our most efficient and able assistant, to Mrs. Dorothy Mazzur for substituting so willingly when we need her, and to our many borrowers for their interest and for keeping us on our toes. January 1971 122 Respectfully submitted, Virginia M. Osborn Librarian IMPROVEMENT AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE REPORT In the spring of 1970, the Commonwealth's Department of Public Works began the work of changing the shape of Baker Memorial Square in West Yarmouth according to their plans to improve traffic flow. Since this work disturbed the turf and shrubs, they reseeded where needed and reestablished the shrub beds. Mr. David Barnicoat of Barnicoat Memorials very generous- ly relocated the memorial tablet. All this work left the square smaller, but much neater with its new granite curbing ; however, we were well into summer by this time so planting had to be limited but as an effort for a bit of color, the Park Department planted some geraniums. The Department of Public Works also replaced the worn-out curbing sections at Carroll de Silver where the Park Department now is planting annually throughout the growing season in the central bed. When we discovered that the larger portion of the small triangle at junction of Camp and Willow Streets in West Yarmouth is located in the town of Barnstable, their Highway Department agreed to improve the turf and plant there,. and we are grateful to them for doing so. We have been delayed in our efforts to cooperate with our own Highway Department on the islands at High Bank Road and North Main Streets because of the repairs on the latter. We now plan to study the redesigned layout when the Town Engineer completes it. The islands on Buck Island Road were sodded and now that the street signs are up, planting will be done in 1971. Our committee members were disturbed at reports that our town dump would be exposed to full view to travellers on the Mid -Cape as result of double barrelling of this road, We regret the lack of foresight of the engineers in planning the removal of natural growth which previously kept our dump hidden from that angle. Your chairman met with a representative from the U. S. Soil Conservation Service and Selectman Marchant at the dump site to initiate a study into the possibility of providing some sort of living barrier of trees and shrubs to block such a view and restoring land already filled to accomplish the same purpose. This seems like a difficult if not impossible task at the moment for any immediate relief since the Mid -Cape Highway is so high above the dump. The grounds of the West Yarmouth Community Building needed work done to establish their appearance more on a par with other adjacent town properties ( the fire station and library ), as 123 some trees were dead and the ground was not properly graded when the building was moved to this location. This work was completed and shrubs were planted in front of the building. Also, the Tree Warden under his planting program added flowering trees and a fence was erected to establish the southern boundary. In the spring, the ground should be prepared for seeding. We appreciate the continued awareness by citizens of our aim to improve and beautify the town of Yarmouth. Thanks go particularly to Mr. Theodore Frothingham and the many loyal residents including student groups who organized and participated in clean-up campaigns. Viola A. Crowell, Chairman Lois Dickson (resigned) Howard C. Doane, Jr. John G. Sears III Elva M. Tallman REPORT OF CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Conservation Commission completes another successful year, encouraged by the support of conservation minded people, as demonstrated in the following manner: A gift of land by the Herring Run in South Yarmouth by Hervey Small; a gift of marsh, the shoulder of mutton piece, and a beautiful valley by Curve Hill Road, near Bass River from Dwight Rogers ; a gift of land in Yarmouth from Lawrence Perera; a large marsh in Yarmouth from Irving Ellis ; and a parcel of land and marsh in Yarmouth from Elizabeth Garvey. We are making satisfactory progress on some larger projects that will be of great value to the Town. Plans for trails, signs, parking areas, etc., are being considered to make these areas more accessible for your enjoyment. Progress has been made at the Herring Run and we hope to have it in excellent shape for the Spring Run. Morris Johnson has been appointed Conservation Officer to patrolconservation areas, oversee the Herring Run, etc. This year, there has been a change in the Commission. Two members, Thomas Embler (resigned) and Loren C. Petry (de- ceased) have been replaced by H. Raymond Darling (Selectman) and John Newton (Town Engineer). Our major and most urgent project has been land acquisition and because of the nature of our work, it has been advisable to 124 proceed quietly and without fanfare. Our lack of noise does not mean lack of effort or results as future events will prove. We wish to thank all of you for your kind and friendly co- operation. Raymond Syrjala (Chairman) John Newton (Secretary) Allen Vera Quinton Scott H. Raymond Darling REPORT OF THE GAS INSPECTOR January 15, 1971 To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: I hereby submit that I have made 863 Gas Inspections for the Year 1970. As this is not a salaried job, I am paid $4.30 per inspection. This figure was arrived at by the Personnel Board and the Finance Committee. The income to the Town for Gas Permits in 1970 was $2558.00. Respectfully submitted, Francis O. Michaud Gas Inspector REPORT OF THE PLUMBING INSPECTOR January 15, 1971 To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: I hereby submit that I have made 761 Plumbing Inspections for the Year 1970. As this is not a salaried job, -I am paid $4.30 per inspection. This figure was arrived at by the Personnel Board and the Finance Committee. The income to the Town for Plumbing Permits in 1970 was $4,371.00. Respectfully submitted, Francis O. Michaud Plumbing Inspector 125 REPORT OF DENNIS-YARMOUTH INFORMATION & REFERRAL SERVICE December 31, 1970 To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth The Council on Aging reports an exceptionally busy and suc- cessful year. We now have 2670 Senior Citizens registered, 695 from Dennis and 1975 from Yarmouth. More than 1000 registered between January 1 and December 1, 1970. The large discrepancy, we are sure, is due to the fact that we have not been able to obtain a list of persons over sixty years of age from the town Clerk of the Town of Dennis. Classes available to our Senior Citizens cover oil painting, crewel work, crafts, chair caning, sewing, Bridge, defensive driv- ing and lip reading for persons with hearing problems. The two classes in lip reading and the class in defensive driving are being held off -premises because of lack of space at the Center. We are disturbed because so many have to be turned away because of lack of space. Early in the year the Yarmouth Council on Aging was re- quested by the Governor's Special Commission on the Needs and Problems of the Elderly, to set up a Cape wide meeting. More than 500 persons attended this meeting to discuss their needs and problems and we were informed later that it was the best organ- ized meeting held in the Commonwealth. On May 2nd, the first Cape Cod Senior Citizens' Rally was held in the Belmont Hotel, West Harwich, with Governor Francis W. Sargent as the keynote speaker. This was a joint effort by the Dennis, Yarmouth and Barnstable Councils on Aging.. A capacity crowd of 1000 persons attended this very successful rally. The Chairman of this Council was presented with a citation by Governor Sargent, for her work with Senior Citizens. Yarmouth was again honored by having the Chairman of this Council appointed by Governor Sargent, as a member of his Special Planning Commission on Elder Affairs and the 1971 White House Conference on Aging and is serving as its Secretary. The Dennis and Yarmouth Councils on Aging sponsored a series of six lectures on "Preparation for Retirement" covering such subjects as "An Overall Picture of Retirement" ; "Wills and Estate Planning"; "Adjusting to Retirement"_; "Better Health in Retirement"; "Social Security for the Working Years and for 126 Retirement" and "Hobbies in Retirement and Community Involve- ment" We are grateful to all who participated. The Dennis and Yarmouth Senior Citizens held two very suc- cessful Art Exhibits and two bazaars this past year. Part of the proceeds of the bazaars were used to purchase a sound film pro- jector, tape recorder, sewing machine, blackboard and other equip- ment used at the Center. The balance has been deposited in an interest bearing account in the name of Dennis -Yarmouth Senior Citizens' General Fund to be used toward- furnishing a much needed larger Senior Citizens' Center. The Councils hope to have a Multi-purpose Senior Citizens' Center located in Yarmouth and ask the co-operation of the voters to favor an Article in the Town Warrant transferring a parcel of land now owned by the Town for this purpose. The building of such a Multi-purpose Senior Citi- zens' Center would be funded by the State. The Dennis and Yarmouth Councils initiated the Friends In Service Here (FISH) Program which is a neighbor -help -neighbor program, in the Towns of Dennis, Harwich and Yarmouth. Programs, both educational and entertaining, have been held in the D -Y Regional High School and the Nathaniel Wixon School in South Dennis on alternate months. Trips to Boston, Braintree, Newport and on the Coast Guard Cutter Hornbeam were also arranged for the Senior Citizens. The Council members wish to thank the faithful volunteers who addressed the bulletin "Milestones" each month, to the Senior Citizens who spent many hours making articles for the bazaars and to the chairmen and workers at the bazaars. We are grateful to the members of the Dennis and Yarmouth Housing Authorities who are now in the process of setting up the "707 Rent Supplement Program" so that those Senior Citizens of low income who are paying high rentals will soon be receiving State Aid to help eke out their meager incomes. Respectfully submitted, Dorothy M. Schoonmaker, Chairman William B. Hanna, Vice -Chairman John G. Sears, Treasurer Marion E. Matheson, Secretary Gordon D. Gilbert George S. Flint Arthur M. Walsh 127 REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR To the Board of Selectmen: In December, 1970 we were fortunate to move into our new Highway Garage on Buck Island Road for which we thank the voters of the Town. This new building allows us to house all our equipment while the old garage will be used as a paint and welding shop. During 1970 we completed nine new roads, finished the re- construction of Whites Path and resurfaced five roads in Hyannis Park—Grove St., Park St., Russo Rd., Vernon St. and Albion St. Chapter 90 maintenance money was used to resurface 6000 ft. of Higgins Crowell Rd. We also seal -coated two miles and Slurry mixed 6375 feet of old roads. 2972 feet of drainage pipe was installed in various trouble spots and on new roads using 49 leach basins. 669 lineal feet of sidewalk with curbing and 604 lineal feet of sidewalk without curbing was put in on Long Pond Drive in South Yarmouth. We put out 41 street signs and painted 57,552 lineal feet of white lines on various streets in the Town. Two college students were hired for July and August who did nothing but pick up trash on our roadsides every day. James C. Marsh, Highway Surveyor BUILDING INSPECTOR'S REPORT Submitted herewith is the Annual Report of the Building In- spector for 1970. A total of 846 Building Permits were issued during 1970 for construction estimated to cost $13,661,241. These permits include all new dwellings, commercial buildings, garages, accessory build- ings and alterations. In 1969 there were 750 Building Permits for construction esti- mated to cost $10,603,384. Of the 846 Building Permits issued for 1970, 577 were for single and duplex houses. Fees collected and paid to the Town Treasurer for Building Permits in 1970 were $4,535.00 as compared to $3,824.00 collected in 1969. Respectfully submitted, Alexander Catto Building Inspector 128 WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1970. Present number of active services 8,071 Services installed during 1970 746 Gallons of water pumped 606,798,000 The continuing growth of the Town in 1970 is evident by the installation of 746 service connections, another all-time high. Water Department revenue was $422,636, a increase of $42,954 over 1969. After the tremendous expansion of the water system in 1969 and with the general economic outlook at the beginning of the year it was felt that this year would be one of consolidation, a leveling off of demands for service installations, a chance for the depart- ment to catch its breath before another spurt of activity. Such was not the case. As the foregoing figures attest growth of the sys- tem reaches new heights each year. To keep ahead of this continued growth the Commissioners are working on several fronts. The three new pumping stations will be added to the system this year. This will assure an adequate supply of water during periods of peak consumption and an oppor- tunity for maintenance work when demand is Slack. The acquisition of two new well fields in West Yarmouth will be completed this year. Department of Public Health approval has been received for two additional new sites and the necessary engineering on these parcels of land will be started in 1971 in hopes that they can be authorized for purchase in 1972. A contract has been signed for test wells at three new sites, this work to be done during the spring of 1971. If the tests are successful, engineering work for site acquisition will be started in 1972. We are also considering the feasibility of purchasing a parcel of land for the construction of additional storage facilities. Support for these addi- tions is earnestly solicited. In addition to the usual articles concerning Water Department operations for the year 1971, funds will be requested for two proj- ects. The first is the sand -blasting and repainting of the outside of the water tanks on Camp Street, West Yarmouth and on German Hill, off Union Street. These are general maintenance projects and are required periodically. It should be noted that this is the first repainting of the German Hill tank since its construction in 1962. The second project is the replacement and recovering of the water main at Parkers River Bridge. The elements and fishermen 129 have been hard on this section of pipe and the State engineers have requested that the work be undertaken at this time. The Commissioners wish to thank everyone at this time for their continued interest and support. Board of Water Commissioners Frederick J. Thacher Roger G. Edwards, Jr. Thomas E.

We have an al- most completely new Board. Much to the sorrow of the resigna- tions of C. Gerald Murdy, Matthew J. Steele and Bradford L. Tall- man. The board has had 13 meetings through the year. We have been working to set up a full job description file for all jobs under the By -Law. The new job creations made are for Lieutenant Police Depart- ment, Gardner Park Department (Part -Time) and Caretaker Park Department (Full -Time) . We have added a fifth step to the present W Class with the intentions of completely reviewing it for the next Town Meeting. Our final job for the year was to recommend a 5% across the board cost of living adjustment for all full time Town Employees. We wish to thank all Department Heads for their co-operation during the past year, we would not have been able to accomplish" what we did had we not had their co-operation. Respectfully Submitted Leslie E. Campbell, Chairman Alfred R. Nelson, V. Chairman Fred V. Olson, Secretary Harry C. Jilson Edward J. McGrath REPORT OF DIRECTOR CIVIL DEFENSE To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: During the past year our underwater rescue team was called upon for search and rescue missions by other towns as well as our own. It was these men who recovered the two bodies from Long Pond. Our Dive Master will be a member of a group established statewide to assist in underwater rescue and recovery programs. 131 Continuous training in this phase of Civil Defense is planned along with the acquisition of additional men and equipment. The Civil Defense personnel in order to be better qualified have undertaken several Staff College Courses in Civil Procedure and Techniques. This is done in cooperation with other towns on Cape Cod. The training program for the Auxiliary Police got underway in earnest this year. We now have twelve men who train at least once a month. During the summer months these men assisted the reg- ular police at accident scenes and regularly patrolled on many beaches in order to cut down on vandalism and malicious destruc- tion. The hundreds of hours of volunteer time these men devote to their training and assigned work shows their community spirit, and the energies expended benefit the town greatly. In cooperation with the Fire Chief Civil defense will once again establish and run a training program for an Auxiliary Fire Department. Through Civil Defense various departments took advantage of the opportunity to get surplus material and tools at very small cost. In cooperation with the Federal and State Governments build- ings were surveyed for shelters as part of the . National Fallout Shelter Program. These have been located and will be licensed and marked as soon as agreements are reached. In cooperation with the school authorities, the finger printing program for our young children operates on a continuous basis. This program was originally established to provide identification in any type of emergency. In thecoming year it is planned to again provide courses of specialized training in an attempt to be ready for any type of emergency which may arise. This year we were able to send men from the Police Department to the Civil Defense Training Acad- emy in Topsfield where they were taught the latest Cardiac Arrest Techniques. This training will be invaluable to the men who are responsible for transporting patients in the Police Ambulance. The Director at this time wished to acknowledge the excel- lent cooperation he has received from the many departments in the town. Respectfully submitted Robert K. Edwards, Director 132 ASSESSORS REPORT - 1970 It gives us great pleasure to submit to you, the Taxpayers, our report for the year 1970.

Darling Howard W. Marchant John G. Sears BOARD OF ASSESSORS YARMOUTH TRAFFIC COMMITTEE REPORT For your Traffic Committee the past year has been mainly one of cleaning up tag ends and pushing projects along that have been in process. Forest Road is progressing and, generally, the cooperation along the way has been excellent. Land takings are always a dif- ficult thing. We, your committee, make our plans and recommen- dations because we are convinced they are for the general good. Unfortunately, no matter how hard we try to avoid it, some suffer hurt through the accident of being located where they are. May we repeat our appreciation to the great majority of landowners on both Buck Island Road and Forest Road who have taken the broad and generous view of recognizing the benefits to the general public and who tempered their damage claims accordingly. We hope that the Town of Barnstable will have an article in their 1971 Town Meeting warrant to make the necessary takings so that a route will be preserved for an eventual connecting road with the Buck Island Road. 135 In spite of adverse weather conditions the Yarmouth Highway Department has made good progress on Forest Road. This brings us to the final portion of what we visualize as Yarmouth's inte- grated road network, Old Town House Road. This road has oc- cupied much of our attention this year. We hope to present it at the March, 1971 Town Meeting and undertake what we expect to be our last major project. The Traffic Committee has continually received tremendous help from the Town Engineer's Office and the cooperation of the Selectmen and the Planning Board. This has not only made our progress easier but without it we would have accomplished nothing. Respectfully submitted, The Yarmouth Traffic Committee REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEERING DEPT. January 4, 1971 To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth The year 1970 was one of unprecedented growth in the town of Yarmouth. As the town developed and new residents moved in, the demand for municipal services increased. The Engineering Department, being involved in almost every aspect of town ser- vices, has felt this extreme pressure. We have added a new employee to our staff, Mr. William R. Hunter of West Yarmouth, and hope to add one other man soon, to be able to put two crews in the field during the busy construction season. We have drawn six new assessors maps and have asked for funds to restore some of the early sheets which are twenty years old. The department prepared thirteen new road layouts, of which 10 were accepted at town meeting and constructed during the sum- mer season. Our major project of the year was the staking out and beginning of construction on the new layout of Forest Road. This road, when completed, will be a major improvement for access in the South Yarmouth area. Respectfully submitted John L.

NEW SPACE — The School Department still lacks space for the proper care of our Exceptional Children. The John Simpkins building now houses the fifth grade and one half of the fourth grade and is now operating at near capacity. Thought should be given to the addition of 20 more elemen- tary rooms at the South Yarmouth Elementary School. NO SCHOOL SIGNAL — The Yarmouth School Committee will close school only in cases of extreme weather conditions. Parents are urged to exercise their personal judgment as to the wisdom of sending their children to school during a period of inclement weather. The No -School report will be given, through the courtesy of the management of WOCB as soon as the station comes on the air on the day in question. 159 EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATES — Employment permits may be issued to boys and girls between the age of fourteen and sixteen to work only when the schools are not in session. Part time, and full time certificates for boys and girls between the ages of sixteen and eighteen are issued at the Regional High School, Mattacheese Middle School, and the Office of the Superintendent of Schools, John Simpkins School, Bass River, and personal application must be made by the student, and evi- dence of date of birth must be presented. I wish to call the attention of the reader to the following re- ports, submitted by members of the Yarmouth School staff, giving more detailed information regarding the school program. I' would like to take this opportunity to thank the Yarmouth School Committee for the cooperation and understanding that it has given to all phases of the operation of the Yarmouth Schools during the past twenty-five years. Respectfully submitted, Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools. REPORT OF THE BUSINESS MANAGER During the 1970 school year, we have observed the operation of the new Mattacheese School for a full year. The cost of heating the school was a pleasant surprise, $5,- 195.25 as compared to $7,149.97 to heat the John Simpkins School. However, the cost of heating will increase radically this coming year. Today's price per gallon of No. 6 fuel oil is .1131 versus .0536 per gallon last year. The Dost of No. 5 fuel oil (used in the West Yarmouth and South Yarmouth Elementary Schools) is now .1224 as compared to .0741 last year. The cost of the No. 2 fuel oil used in the John Simpkins School is now .1448 per gallon as compared to .1275 last year. During the past year, the policy of combined bidding for common products was initiated. The Yarmouth School Department combined with the Dennis School Department and the Dennis - Yarmouth School District to conduct bidding for milk and fuel oil. This enabled the department to take advantage of increased volume in its purchases. The same practice was carried out with the Dennis School Department in the bidding for fertilizer and the obtaining of a lower premium for the school pupil insurance program. 160 It is planned to expand this type of bidding into other areas of common use items such as janitorial supplies, consumable school supplies, etc. Having just completed my first year as business manager, I am again expressing my thanks for the excellent cooperation that I have received from all branches of the Yarmouth School Depart- ment. George Flanagan REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon: , It is again a pleasure to submit to you my annual report as principal of West Yarmouth Elementary School. February, 1971 completes the eighth year of the operation of our building. Each year proves again the wisdom of the build- ing committee who saw the needs of modern education and plan- ned a building so well adapted to these requirements. The curriculum and methods of teaching offer our pupils a learning situation well in line with recent thinking. Each boy and girl is given an opportunity to progress according to his or her abilities and rate of growth. Grouping of pupils permits the cross- ing of grade lines so that, in effect, an ungraded situation exists. While report cards are still sent home four times each year, we have been happy to note that many parents have taken advan- tage of the opportunity for parent -teacher conferences. We ap- preciate the cooperation of these parents for a pupil's progress should be measured only by his own effort and ability and such growth is difficult to record on a card. Constant increase in the size of classes has made it necessary to add a fifth classroom for each of the four grades. This has meant the separation of South and West Yarmouth kindergarten pupils. Only West Yarmouth and Yarmouth-Yarmouthport pupils 161 attend at West Yarmouth Elementary now with 104 pupils using two classrooms in double session. Total enrollment of the school is 578 with 483 pupils in grades one through four. Eight years ago we opened with 317 pupils in these grades. The following teachers joined the faculty in September: Mrs. Jennie Liberty and Miss Mary Healy in the kindergarten; Miss Carol Ann Crimmins, Miss Pamela Minckler, Mrs. Sharron Riedell and Miss Karen Schluter in grade one: Mrs. Roberta Kinkead, Mrs. Frances Meyer and Miss Donna Palli in grade three ; and Miss Patricia Diamond in grade four. Miss Diamond replaces Miss Marie Malo who is taking a year's leave of absence for study at the Uni- versity of Hawaii. I can not speak, too highly of the fine spirit shown by both new and returning teachers. I feel that we are, indeed, fortunate to have a staff of such competent and devoted teachers. Mrs. Alice Baldwin, who had taught kindergarten since such classes were begun in the town of Yarmouth, retired in June. Mrs. Baldwin will be greatly missed by all "her" children as well as by parents and teachers. Her love for children and her love of music made for her a lasting place in the hearts of her pupils. Because some children need help in taking the step from kindergarten to first grade, a transitional class was established this year. With Mrs. Sharron Riedell as teacher, children in this class are given an opportunity to acquire further skills in observing, listening, motor coordination and following directions. These ex- periences, offered in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, will make easier and happier the transition to first or second grade. Under the direction of Miss Kalliope Garoufes, Reading and English Supervisor, the extensive screening program to identify children with potential learning disabilities is continuing for a second year. Preventative programs in the language arts area are in operation for pupils in kindergarten and grades one and two. A pilot reading program using the Lippincott phonic -linguistic reading materials in one first grade class has been so successful that we plan to follow the group with this program into the second grade and extend it to another first grade classroom next year. Mrs. Ruth Nickerson, Speech Therapist, reports that there are at present, 41 pupils enrolled in active therapy with 11 on the wait- ing list. The progress made by those pupils who have received speech therapy with Mrs. Nickerson has proved how very impor- tant this experience is for children handicapped with speech prob- lems. Pupils corrected and dismissed from therapy show increased 162 confidence in all their subjects. Speech classes for those still en- rolled give an opportunity for self expression which some would not find otherwise. Because of the increase in the number of pupils enrolled, Mrs. Nickerson's schedule is more than filled and it seems evident that an additional speech therapist should be added in the near future. The introduction of the Cuisenaire method of teaching arith- metic is outstanding in our math program: This method begins in kindergarten and is used with other texts in all grades. By using the Cuisenaire rods a child learns through experimenting, discov- ering and proving facts for himself which provides a stimulating approach to mathematics. Through the efforts of Mr. Louis Drake, Math Co-ordinator, a ten week in-service course on Cuisenaire rods was made available to teachers last winter. The science curriculum is also offering a program of pupil participation and experimentation with less emphasis on the use of textbooks. The new, innovative elementary science materials de- veloped under the auspices of the Science Curriculum Improve- ment Study of the National Science Foundation is being tested in grade one this year. It is proving so successful that plans have been made for 100 per cent adoption in grades one and two next year with plans for adding a new grade in each successive year. Mr. Donald Eldredge, Science Co-ordinator, has also arranged with the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History for classes in ecology and nature study for all fourth grade pupils. This course is offered at no expense to the school. In addition, all science teachers are enrolled in a 15 week workshop in ecology and outdoor education conducted by the Museum. It is hoped that, as a result of this study, teachers and pupils will be able to make the most effective use of woodlands and ponds adjacent to the school. The art program with Mrs. Charlotte Besse as teacher is again proving very successful. The use of new and interesting materials and approaches helps to motivate and stimulate the under -achiever as well as the gifted child. Self expression in art gives all children the opportunity to communicate and relate to the world around them. Music, too, is a satisfying means of self expression but be- cause Mrs. Margaret Maxwell, teacher of vocal music, has only two days at West Yarmouth, it has been necessary to combine some classes. This limits self expression and is not an ideal situation but seems preferable to the alternative of meeting classes every two weeks. All pupils have one weekly period of music. In addition, fifty four grade pupils have an additional half-hour chorus session each week. This chorus presented two very successful spring con- certs last May and a Christmas assembly in December. 163 Instrumental music begins in fourth grade with Mr. Richard LaPorte instructor for band instruments and Mr. Frank Cornwell instructor for stringed instruments. The consistent increase in the number of pupils electing these classes proves the deep interest and excellent rapport which both instructors bring to their pupils. Further library assistance is being offered this year. Under the supervision of Mr. John Meehan, Director, Mrs. Lorraine Loughlin has arranged additional time for supervised library pe- riods, story hours for lower grades and assistance in using library and audio-visual media. The assistance of teachers' aides continues to prove most help- ful to the smooth functioning of our school program. Mrs. Lough- lin's help in the library is of great value. Mrs. Dorothy Culley and Mrs. Lydia Ellis supervise the kindergarten buses and assist the teachers in kindergarten and transitional classes. Mrs. Martha Gartrell and Miss Jean MacPhedan aid teachers in monitoring the lunch room and in playground supervision. The summer session, funded under Title I, Public Law 89-10, was again held at West Yarmouth Elementary School. With Mr. Gary Getchell as director, the session proved once more the im- portance of the individualized program that is carried out during the summer. The resignation of Mrs. Evie Riley made it necessary to find a new manager for our cafeteria. A very satisfactory arrangement was reached when, at the suggestion of Mr. Robert Allen, Mrs. Theresa Reichenberg agreed to manage the cafeteria at West Yar- mouth Elmentary as well as that at Mattacheese Middle School. With her leadership and the addition of Mrs. Lorraine Godsill and Mrs. Joseph Clarke to the staff, cafeteria service has been very good. Delicious and well planned meals are enjoyed by both pu- pils and teachers. Development of our physical education program seems to lag behind that of other subject programs. Mrs. Emery and Mr. Camp- bell each have two days at West Yarmouth. This amount of time permits only one period of group instruction for each class in a week with little if any time for remedial or corrective work with those children who have motor problems. Development in all areas, physical, mental and emotional, is increasingly important. Two additional instructors for physical education for the first five grades in South and West Yarmouth would permit a constructive, growing program for all three schools. In line with the need of opportunity for growth in all areas is the need for a specialist to work with children with learning 164 disabilities. Miss Garoufes is doing an outstanding job in scregning pupils with such disabilities but her time is much in demand as supervisor of reading and English in all grades. A specialist, cap- able of screening and diagnosing these disabilities and of working with the teachers in correcting them is a vital need for our schools. This, our eighth year at West Yarmouth Elementary School, seems the most successful of any year thus far. The wonderful spirit of cooperation shown by the entire staff is the force that has given the extra stimulus to make the good better. My thanks are due to the teaching staff and supervisors, our secretary, Mrs. Thel- ma Small and her assistant, Mrs. Elizabeth Baker, to the cafeteria staff and to the custodians whose efforts keep our building looking shiny and new. May I also express my thanks to you, Mr. Kenyon, to Mr. Flanagan and to the members of the school committee whose support and assistance is truly appreciated. I could not close this report without expressing gratitude to Mr. Osborne Bearse, formerly principal of the Yarmouth schools and of late Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent. It is with regret we learn that Mr. Bearse is retiring from school work this year. His foresight and guidance will be greatly missed. It was during his years as principal that the concepts of our curric- ulum and methods of teaching were developed and the ideas of two beautiful new buildings became realities. Mr. Bearse has al- ways placed the children first in importance in all plans and proj- ects and it is largely because of his thinking that our children have the excellent opportunities that are offered them.

Our present en- rollment of four hundred and fifty-three (453) children includes all the Kindergarten, First, Second and Third grades in South Yar- mouth. Next year we will have to use our Library, stage and combination Gym -Auditorium as regular classrooms. We increase our enrollment by one and one-half classrooms a year, but fail to add any space. The John Simpkins Building has an enrollment of three hun- dred and fifty-eight (358) children. The Fourth and Fifth grade students from South Yarmouth and the Fifth grade from West Yar- mouth, plus a Special Class are housed in this building. This build- ing only has fifteen (,15) first class classrooms. We add about sixty (60) students a year to this building. Next year we will be using the Library, Auditorium and all available space for class- rooms. These crowded conditions in the elementary area, Kindergar- ten, First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth grades, interferes with a balanced program. We have added five (5) teachers and replaced seven (7) teachers. 166 New to our staff are: Miss Ryan, Kindergarten Mrs. Tarala, Grade 1 Miss Pastula, Grade 1 Miss Kandrach, Grade 2 Miss Perkins, Grade 2 Mrs. Clemence, Grade 3 Miss Landers, Grade 4 Mrs. Evans, Grade 5 Miss Brine, Grade 5 Miss Masi, Grade 5 Mr. Paulson, Grade 5 Miss Lamothe, Grade 5 We have started a Language Development Program in the First and Second grades. There are about ten (10) children in each group. They have the same teacher for Reading and Math, then they return to their regular classrooms and the teacher is free to tutor them separately for short periods of time during the day. We held an Open House on November 9, 1970 in the South Yarmouth Elementary and on November 16, 1970 in the John Simp- kins Building. This year we asked the parents to follow their chil- dren's schedules for one day, at ten (10) minute periods. The teachers and parents enjoyed the program. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills was given to the Third, Fourth and Fifth grades in March. The Otis Lennon Intelligence Tests were given to the First, Third and Fifth grades in February. We are still sharing our Music and Physical Educational teachers with the West Yarmouth Elementary School. The children get thirty (30) minutes of Music and Physical Education a week. We have our own Art teacher who is in the South Yarmouth Ele- mentary School and the John Simpkins Building. The following are Special Teachers and Supervisors in both buildings: Art 1-5, Miss Judith LaVigne Garoufes Vocal Music 1-5, Mrs. Margaret Science Supervisor, Mr. Donald Maxwell Eldredge Girl's P.E. 1-5, Miss Ann Emery Library -Media, Mr. John Meehan Boy's P.E. 1-5, Mr. Daniel Guidance, Mr. Kenneth L.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts 02664 Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is with pleasure that I submit my second Annual Report as Principal of the Mattacheese Middle School. The following teach- ers joined our staff in September: Teacher Grade Subject Miss Barbara A. Bauer 6-7-8 Music Mr. Irwin Bierhans 6 English Mr. Peter B. Cooper 6 Science Miss Linda Dimitri 7-8 Reading Mr. William J. Doherty 6-7-8 Science Miss Kay E. Golladay 7-8 English Mr. Owen D. Graf 7-8 Science Mrs. Ruth D. Hogan 7-8 Math Mrs. Cheryl Anne Kidney 6 Reading Mr. Philip A. LaRoche 7-8 Math Miss Glads LoVerde 7-8 Reading Mr. William N. Matheson 6 Soc. St. Mr. Henry J. St. Cyr 6-7-8 Special Class Miss Jaye L. Swartz 7-8 Reading During December 19, 1970 we had an enrollment of 717 chil- dren. The distribution as follows: Grade 6 7 8 Boys 127 105 107 169 Girls 125 125 128 Total 252 230 235 This shows an increase of 17.5% over last year. Recently, valuable inroads for the improvement of the Library - Media Program within the Mattacheese Middle School have been realized. The opportunity of presenting an overview of the purposes of a Library -Media Program has created the necessary interest in its future development. Relationship between educational needs, costs involved in meeting needs, and the financing of program goals will be realized through the appreciation of a comprehensive and meaningful budget. With this realization we will be able to implement pro- gram goals through the immediate offering of an in-service course. A recent library -media program survey resulted in providing this department with the necessary responses which indicate that the need for improved library -media services are immediate. New books for the library, with emphasis in the area of re- search materials have been purchased recently. The assistance of a Library -Media Aide have been extremely helpful in providing for the retrieval of instructional materials. We are in grave need of providing instructional tools for the projection of materials in the classroom. These tools include: screens (projection), overhead projectors and tables, and standard projector tables. Individual counselling has been the core of guidance activi- ties. These conferences have evolved around the needs of pupils in educational, personal, social, and occupational areas. 581 in- dividual conferences ranging from 5 minutes to 1I/2 hours have been recorded. The guidance testing program has included two administra- tions of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills and one administration of the Otis -Lennon Ability Test for grade 7. It is worthwhile to note that the results of the Iowa testing have been made available to all pupils and parents. Group meetings of pupils new to the school have proved very worthwhile in providing for an easier transition to the new school environment. A visitation day for pupils entering from John Simpkins was held on June 17, 1970. 170 A visitation day for pupils entering the Dennis-Yarmouth Re- gional High School from Mattacheese Middle School was held on June 3, 1970. For Grade 8, group and individual conferences were held to facilitate the proper choosing of courses for the high school. Mr. Downey of the high school staff was very helpful in this program. The guidance department has been instrumental in carrying out level changes for pupils. A more flexible schedule, started in Sep- tember, has led to greater success in proper placement of pupils. Three bulletin boards, displaying educational and occupational information, have been set up in the guidance area. The National Forum Developmental Guidance Series has been made available to pupils in the school library. These books con- tain charts and guides for a complete personal development guid- ance program. Informal and standardized diagnostic reading tests were ad- ministered to the students in grades six, seven, and eight during the early fall at the Mattacheese Middle School. Instruction has been programmed for the individual student to help him overcome his weaknesses. Additional personnel this year provides for reading instruction for most of the students at the school in developmental or remedial reading programs. The first year of the newly adopted literature program in grades 7, 8 is proving most successful.• The Physical Education Program at the Mattacheese Middle School stresses the basic fundamentals of the various team sports and individual activities. It is hoped that throughout the program the students will develop the proper attitudes of good sportsman- ship, basic movement, co-ordination, social conduct, and self dis- cipline. The boys are taught basic skills of soccer, flag football, basketball, volleyball, softball, gymnastics, track and field, wrestl- ing, archery, and a physical fitness test. The girls are taught soc- cer, field hockey, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, track and field, softball, and archery. They will also be involved in an in- dividual physical fitness in the spring. The athletic program will continue with both an interscholas- tic and intramural concept which we felt was quite successful in its initial year. For the first time football was added to the pro- gram to compliment the boys fall soccer program. Also offered for boys are basketball, and baseball. The girls program includes 171 field hockey, soccer, basketball, and softball. A spring track pro- gram will also be added for both girls and boys. These programs are offered to all boys and girls in grades 6, 7, and 8. An Olympic Field Day for Grades 6, 7, and 8 has been planned for this spring. The Music Program at the Mattacheese Middle School this year was programmed to include a beginning chorus of 100 voices, an advanced chorus of experienced members, band, orchestra, and guitar club activities. All students were offered a choice in this music education spectrum. Piano classes were initiated with small groups. The book, Making Music Your Own, introduced the music classes to a varied Jazz approachment. All students in Grade VI meet every week for vocal music. Grade VII -VIII divide their schedules between one-half year of Art and another of Music. The work in this area is following a pattern of Classical Record of the Week, Lives of Master Composers, tone, rhythm, chord drills, knowledge of music symbols and verbiage, songs appropri- ate to the season. Equipment in use: record player, piano, tape recorder, rhythm band instruments, books, "Music For Young Americans," A.B.C., auto -harps. Many activities are planned for the Spring Festival of Music now that our annual Thanksgiving tape is completed and a Christ- mas in Song program is relegated to 1970. With the opening of school in September the science program which was offered to the grade six, seven, and eight students of the Mattacheese Middle School left much to be desired. All grade six classes and several grade seven and eight classes were sche- duled for science instruction for only two periods per week, as opposed to the five periods which have been customary in the past. In addition, as a result of budget cuts our progress in adopting the new, innovative, Intermediate Science Curriculum study science program, developed under the auspices of the National Science Foundation, was severely curtailed. Adoption of the program was further restricted . by scheduling problems, particularly in grade 7. As a result of a combination of parental complaints and un- favorable newspaper publicity action was taken in November to alleviate the situation. The school program was revised and re- scheduled with the result that all students in all classes now meet for science five periods per week. In addition, plans have been made and funds approved to assure adoption of the ISCS science program according to a planned time schedule. 172 The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is conducting a fifteen week workshop in Outdoor Education which all science teachers are attending. It is hoped that effective utilization of the woodland areas adjacent to our school will result from the knowl- edge and experience gained by our science teachers enrolled in this course. This is the second year of the Speech Therapy Program at the school. This year's speech screening results showed an in- crease in demand for the program over last year. The following is a comparative report for the Mattacheese Middle School: No. of Individual Tests No. of Speech Defects Referrals Referrals 1969 15 7 1970 30 24 The 1969 end of the year report for Mattacheese Middle School showed 9 cases were enrolled at the beginning of the report pe- riod, 8 cases were added during the report period, 1 case moved, 6 cases were corrected, 10 were to continue therapy ; there were 16 parent conferences and 34 test and evaluations were given. At present there are 24 pupils enrolled on the active therapy program. The increase in the number of referrals this year shows us there was good communication between the teachers and the pro- gram last year. I thank the teachers for being alert to the students speech needs and in bringing these needs to my attention. In projection, due to the increased number of cases in one year, I highly suggest provision be made in the budget for another speech therapist in the near future so that more time can be spent with each worthy pupil. The Math program at the school according to the needs of our students, contributes to the development of significant mathemati- cal content in a way that is both satisfying and exciting to teach- ers and pupils. An essential part to improvement and development can be attributed to the many new materials, such as a calculator being used in a sixth grade class. This encourages students to experience success and motivation where they have been unsuccessful before. 173 We have added film strips, film loops, mathtapes, transparencies, and records to make the program interesting and re -enforce the lessons. We have also added an individualized mathematics program as a supplement, designed to help coordinate and strengthen the basic elementary facts. The kits are structured so that each pupil is programmed automatically through a sequence of lessons in which the level of difficulty is determined by the pupil's own per- formance. Standard tests developed by the Yarmouth Math Program were given to all students on September 30, 1970 to diagnose any trouble areas. The same tests will be retaken May 15, 1971 by all students to evaluate progress achieved during the year. May I express my gratitude to Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse, Mr. Flanagan, the school committee, teaching staff, and all other school personnel for their cooperation during the past year.

REPORT OF ADULT EDUCATION DIRECTOR James R. Davis It is with great pleasure that I submit my third report as Di- rector of the Evening Adult Education Program for the Town of Yarmouth. Registration was held at the Mattacheese Middle School on September 16, 1970 from 7:00-8.30 p.m. This year's total registra- tion was 678. The courses offered for the school year 1970-71 were as fol- lows: MONDAY Beginning Sewing, B. Bassett Knitting, P. Huntley Decorated Ware, B. White Art of Fine Food, R. Allen Adv. Oil Painting, L. Tregre Woodwording, A. Anderson & L. Drake, Asst. Physical Fitness, M. Eldredge TUESDAY Beginning Sewing, A. Mathews Rug Braiding, R. Hendrickson Decorated Ware, B. White Cake Decorating, J.

Hammond 175 There has been an ever increasing response by the adults of the Town of Yarmouth to participate in one or more of the courses offered by the Evening Adult Program. It is gratifying to the in- structors and to me as well to see this interest shown by the com- munity. It is with regret that we are sometimes unable to accommodate all who wish to take a course. The majority of the courses offered have proven to be so popular that it has been necessary to main- tain a waiting list. It is the policy of the program to inform those on the waiting list when a vacancy occurs. Last year's exhibit at the close of the Adult Program was the largest we have had the privilege of displaying. It was held in the large dining room of the school and as the evening progressed the room was filled to capacity. There is a need to expand this program and in so doing we intend to continue to offer to the adults of Yarmouth a most satis- fying return for their school tax investment. I wish to invite those adults who have not had an opportunity to avail themselves of the program to consider registering in one or more of the many courses that will be offered next September. I would like to express my appreciation to the members of the Adult teaching staff, secretaries and evening custodians for their generous effort and interest in making the program what it is.

Wixon. His loss was keenly felt by all who knew him. The Committee voted this resolution at the Annual Meeting of the District in April: WHEREAS, For more than a decade and a half his unswerving purpose and unique foresightedness have guided this District through the shoals of planning and construc- tion, and WHEREAS, His unceasing perseverance and altruistic constancy have left an indelible mark on the entire area, and WHEREAS, His empathetic understanding of and immutable faith in young people have been an inspiration to all; now therefore, be it RESOLVED: That we, the members of the Dennis -Yarmouth Re- gional School Committee, humbly offer tribute to our deceased Committeeman, counselor, and friend - NA- THANIEL H. WIXON - for whom the "something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose." Friends from all sections of the country - bereft by Mr. Wixon's passing - mailed contributions in his memory to the scholarship fund. This outpouring of generosity was indeed evidence of the high esteem in which our late officer and member was held. These gifts, in various amounts, totaled over $1,450, gratefully received by the Trustees of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District Scholarship Fund. Total donations from all sources for the year amounted to more than $3,800. Through the kindness of benefactors, the Trustees have been able to grant scholarships amounting to $5,300. From funds provided by Schol- arships Anonymous, Peter Murray - a D -Y graduate now attending Bates College - was the recipient of a grant to study in London for the current school year. The American Field Services Exchange Student for the 1970-1971 school year is Gashaw T. Berihen - better known as "Nanni" - from Ethiopia. New Committee members this year are Mrs. Alice C. Hofmann - elected to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Wixon's death - and Laurence F. Ellis, appointed member from the Town of Yarmouth. Continuing with discussions regarding the proposed addition, we have submitted several plans to the School Building Assistance Bureau. Proposals pre - 2 sented to date have been approved. Anticipating an enrollment of 2400 by 1980, the Committee and Administration have held bi-monthly meet- ings with the architect, to accelerate the building program. As a result of the resignation of Mr. Kenyon, Superintendent since the inception of the District, the Committee has hired Frank Lloyd, Jr., as Educational Consultant, to seek prospective candidates and evaluate their credentials prior to final screening by the Committee. Also occupying the Committee's attention during the latter half of the year has been the matter of contract negotiations with the Teachers' Association. Much time has been devoted to reaching an agreement, to be effective in September of 1971. In other phases of activity, many students will again go to Europe during the Spring vacation. A school newspaper, The Bowsprit, has been approved for publication. The faculty adviser for this venture is Francis Carullo. The summer school program was a distinct contribution, with fees for registration and tuition netting $4,500. This amount remained in the District treasury, to be available as an additional credit toward 1971 assessments. Premiums on investments in Treasury Bills and interest on a sav- ings, account combined to give the District over $13,000 in income - also a creditable item for the budget. It has been possible to reduce the assessment amounts due from the towns by over $197,000. We look forward with confidence to 1971, optimistic that the pro- grams for which we have labored diligently during 1970 will see their fruition. We shall hope for the continued cooperation of all in the ac- complishment of goals which will be in the best interest of all concerned. DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE By: Alfred C.

As we anticipated, due to continued pupil growth and limited physi- cal facilities in certain areas, problems of class size and teacher locations were present. We were able to divide a large room previously used for study hall to make two additional classrooms. We cut back • on our be- ginning Art and Typing classes and offered one-half year courses in these areas. Home Economics classes were reduced from eight to five periods a week on the sophomore level. However, no major educational cut- backs were necessary as the student body and faculty cooperated nicely to make things run smoothly under crowded conditions and large class sizes. Work was started to prepare specifications for our additions. Special School Committee meetings, visits to the Massachusetts Building Assist- ance Office, trips to other high schools with new facilities, and other studies have helped us supply our architects with material for our added areas. Shortly we expect the preliminary plans from the architects will be ready and can be presented to the people of the towns for their ap- proval. Continued effort to improve the offerings to our student body has been exerted. Briefly, new opportunities during the school day in pho- tography, sailing, navigation, newspaper preparation, debating, speech, drama and advanced science have been presented. A short report of the activities of the various departments will show our efforts and progress. Through our guidance program we endeavor to work with each individual student in an attempt to help him reach his full potential to be a useful and productive citizen. Students are seen on a regular basis during the school year. These individual conferences are supplemented with group orientation sessions and the opportunity to attend numerous meetings with representatives from educational and vocational institutions. Each year from sixty to seventy per cent of our senior class con- tinues on to some type of institution of higher learning. In order that we may more effectively work with these students seeking higher edu- cational placement, close communication is maintained with a large number of schools. This is done through visitations, conference atten- dance, and individual contact. 9 We attempt to work closely with various mental health facilities in order to more effectively help those students with emotional problems. Each year the Guidance Department sponsors informational pro- grams on drugs, smoking and alcohol to better inform our students on the problems they face and will continue to face in the society in which we live. To meet the ever-increasing demands of our expanding school population, we added another counselor, Mr. Robert Haskell, to our guidance staff. Mr. Haskell comes to us with many years of guidance and counseling experience. It is necessary that our services continue to expand if we are to meet the ever-increasing needs of our student population. A small part of the Assistant Principal's report follows: We in the school business realize that our problems with youth are to us just as acute as are many of the problems facing the nation. Recently, it was my experience to review and read from a school report published in 1857, made to the Massachusetts Board of Education for the Dennis, Yarmouth, Brewster School Union. It was of particular interest to note that problems of concern in education, with youth of that time, had much in common with the problems educators face today. To quote: "Regular attendance, punctuality, the gaining of knowledge, prep- aration for leadership, the use of good judgment, to nurture and culti- vate high character, to work for good citizenship, and to prepare children to serve worldly duties. These objectives, well done, are second in im- portance to no other duty owed to posterity." We note that dedicated teachers today are still struggling with the raw material, presented by parents, as were the teachers and edu- cators living one hundred and thirteen years ago. Can today's educators improve on these standards outlined for youth so many years ago? Our school is served by fourteen pusher -type modern school buses with capacity load of sixty high school students. Bus routes are adjusted each year to make reasonable loads. The longest route is thirteen and four -tenths miles and the shortest route is four miles taking forty min- utes and nineteen minutes respectively from first stop to delivery. No pupil is expected to walk more than one mile to a bus stop or to the school building. It is of interest to know that, through the use of private cars, we have approximately 175 pupils who provide transportation for them - 10 selves and friends. In so doing, they eliminate the need for probably four additional buses. There are also approximately 120 pupils who live within walking distance of the school. At the beginning of this school year, updated course outlines in English completed by the department members last spring were available to the new teachers. Also, along these lines, constructive conferences with English teachers in the two middle schools were held last spring and a general outline of work to be covered by the junior high teachers was agreed upon. Since November of 1970, Dennis -Yarmouth English Department members have been discussing, planning, and creating tentative outlines for an entirely new English curriculum at the high school. When com- pleted and ready for administrative approval, a startling change in course content and class organization may be in the offing for Dennis - Yarmouth English students next year in grades 10, 11, and 12. I'd like to close by quoting the last paragraph from my last year's report. "May I take this opportunity to convey to you our interest in the proposed addition to the high school and our hope that it will be completed in all possible haste. Already the class size has begun to exceed thirty in some groups, a number that is forty per cent above the total recommended by the National Council of Teachers of English." Starting in November, the Library increased its service by keeping open from seven to nine on Monday and Thursday evenings. It is hoped this may aid students needing extra time for research. The addition of a section of shelves has given the library the op- portunity to expand its book collection. Cassettes, cassette players, records, and film strips have been added to meet the increased need for this type of visual media. As a result of last year's curriculum study, the mathematics depart- ment has established basic, standard and honors sections in Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry. Students are assigned to these sections ac- cording to their abilities and previous performance in mathematics courses. This system seems to be working reasonably well so far, but we find that the crowded conditions and lack of classroom facilities do not allow us to keep these sections as small as they should. be. Mr. William LaCouture has joined the mathematics department and Mr. Thomas Butler has returned from sabbatical leave. 11 The philisophy of the Social Studies department at Dennis -Yar- mouth is the development of informed citizens fully aware of the need for insuring the dignity and worth of the individual; for personal in- volvement in improving the society they have inherited; for appreciat- ing the contributions of all cultures to society, and for recognizing the interdependence of all peoples. Following are the courses offered at Dennis -Yarmouth: Civics, An- cient History, United States History, Modern World History, Economic Geography, Economics, Psychology and Contemporary Government. We are currently considering a reorganization of our Contemporary Government course. The new course will be a series of twelve to sixteen mini courses, each course to cover a timely topic and to have a duration of one marking term (one-quarter year). The Science department has grown this year in numbers, staff size and offerings. We have added another teacher to our staff and have two new teachers: one replacing Mr. Abel who is on a leave of absence and the other replacing one who resigned. Mr. Francis Hall teaches electronics, Mr. Henry Romano teaches biology and chemistry, and Miss Lincoln is working with our biology classes. We have added a Biology II course to our curriculum. This course is half human physiology and half laboratory studies in the fields of animal and plant biology. The course is open to seniors who have taken and passed both a first-year biology and chemistry course. The human physiology section enables these students to study human anatomy and physiology in more detail than is possible in the Biology I course. The laboratory studies section is essentially 100% lab and builds on the student's prior experiences in physiology and chemistry. A count of students in science courses was taken this December as has been our custom. The departmental enrollment is up 157 pupils over last year. We need more room to teach and another teacher to help us. I realize that our departmental problems, in certain aspects, are not unique, but in several major ways science teachers face problems which are particular to the subject area. The responsibilities of an ef- fective science teacher differ from those in most other departments in that the physical preparation for the courses demands extra preparation time over and above that of preparation for classroom discussion, testing, and general paper work. In the fall of 1970, there were 391 pupils enrolled in the French classes, 155 in Spanish, and 25 in Latin, a total of 571. 12 This year a terminal course was added in French and Spanish for those students who do not plan to continue the study of a foreign lan- guage beyond the second year. We continue to offer a fifth year of French for those students who enter French II as freshmen. This course enables students who wish to continue French in college to enroll in literature courses usually open only to sophomores. The Business Department is most desirous of expanding its fa- cilities. We are proud of our equipment, and the wiring of another room in the Business Department wing has extended the use of the Edi- son Voice Writer for students enrolled in the classes of stenography and transcription. We have recently acquired five new Adler electric typewriters, four standard Olympia typewriters, and one Adler standard typewriter. Sev- eral electronic calculators have been loaned for use in the Business Ma- chines classes. In the area of Home Economics, we were unfortunate in losing, through retirement, Mrs. Doris Loomer, after long, dedicated service to the school, and Miss Janet Pomeroy after one year. We were most for- tunate to procure the services of Mrs. Janet Brennan and Miss Judith Moynihan to replace them. This section of the department has done well though working to near capacity (by "postponing" some applicants), and as a climax to their efforts the Christmas Tea was, as usual, a grand success. Though losing no personnel, the Art area labored under the handi- cap of too many students in too little space (particularly storage room). Unfortunately we had to curtail enrollments, place some students on a half-year basis, and halve the time, under direct supervision of the Art Majors. (Mrs. Hopkins has made herself available for those trying to make up that time in the Extra Help period.) The Art Department had a productive and satisfying year. Fifty- five pieces were accepted for showing in Boston. Graduates were ac- cepted in good art schools. Over two hundred people attended our annual Art exhibition and some pieces of work were sold. Mrs. Hopkins was invited to sit on a panel and demonstrate Batik at the National Art Education Conference in Philadelphia. We are proud that the Dennis -Yarmouth Art Department is known on a national level. Our objective is to introduce a variety of media, give our students a good basic background, and stress creativity. 13 The general Industrial Arts classes (mainly wood -working) have a comfortable load. Fewer freshmen signed up for the course from the elementary schools (middle schools.) The Boat Building and Printing classes are large, being above the recommended maxima, but are workable. Power Mechanics classes are large and one group is operated on a "piggy -back" (two periods one day, and one the next) basis to free Mr. Cleaves for a period of Drafting. In that class a group of Architectural Drawing majors are constructing a scale model building in conjunction with their drawings. The Drafting classes still present a problem, numbers wise, despite the addition of four work stations taking it above the recommended maximum. In conjunction with Guidance, we would ask that this facility be enlarged by another classroom, as it seems likely that another could be filled taking note of the number of students who had to "postpone" this course, and the number who could use this educational experience. For the first time, girls have been admitted to our areas. Three are taking the Power Mechanics course and two have joined the Printing. The results are most gratifying. The female printers, particularly, are profiting from the experience, doing a good job, and have "integrated" nicely. This innovation, I feel, at this writing, is a huge success. We recognize the tremendous space and monetary cost in operating this department, and are trying to keep within our respective budgets in the face of tremendous and apparently unstable price rises of tools and materials, over which we have no control. We "shop" around for the best at the most reasonable cost. The Music department participated in many activities the past year. The Band played for football games, holiday parades, concerts, rallies and assemblies. The Chorus had a busy year with festivals, assemblies, installations, and one exchange concert. Our String Ensemble meets daily and performs the work of the past four centuries. The Music Theory operates with the largest class ever this past year. A new project this year was the first Annual Holiday Pops Concert where all the music organization of the school presented a musical even- ing to all interested in attending. The Physical Education department initiated a change this year in its structure and offerings that has updated the program in terms of 14 theory, philosophy and practice. Prior to this past year, freshmen and juniors were scheduled for physical education three days per week, and sophomores and seniors two days per week. Beginning this past Sep- tember, freshmen and sophomores were scheduled three times a week and juniors and seniors twice a week. With this change, course or unit content has now been reorganized to emphasize fundamentals and intro- duction of skills on the freshman and sophomore levels and an emphasis on applying these skills on the junior and senior level. Although the program has been in effect for only a little more than a term, the re- sponse of the student body has been most positive. An added unit to the physical education program this past year was an introduction to golf. Introduced as a co-educational activity, all seniors were afforded a three week instructional unit in selection of club, stance, grip and swing. In the area of athletics, the only added offering was that of an inter- scholastic tennis team for girls. With this addition, there are now ten interscholastic sports activities for boys and four for girls. The staff of the follows: Name Merrill D. Wilson Francis Woelfel Edward Keyes Frances R.

Girls Basketball Coach 1 Head Softball Coach 1 I would not wish to conclude without acknowledging Mr. Lyman Carter, Head Hockey Coach; Mr. William Doherty, Asst. Football and Baseball Coach; and Mr. Charles Liberty, Head Baseball Coach. These men, for one reason or another have withdrawn from active athletic coaching at Dennis -Yarmouth, but in their tenure as coaches carried on the tradition of Dennis -Yarmouth athletics and instilled in the mem- bers of their teams a set of positive values that will go with them for many years to come. It is interesting to note that since the need for an overseer of good health was recognized years ago and a school nurse hired, the job has been done by a single individual, although the ensuing years have seen enormous increase in the student population, particularly this past year. The school nurse, under the direction of the doctor, guided by the County Health Department, and required by State Law to perform eye and ear testing on each student and conduct immunization clinics, is, in fact, the School Health Department. Added to these routine functions, there is the increased awareness of an educated community to potential and real health problems posed by the hazards to overall good health of smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, that has greatly enlarged the area of health services. As the school grows in population and depth of curriculum, it is absolutely necessary that the student be in the best possible health so that his or her potential may be fully realized. Driver Education classes opened this past September with a second full-time driver training instructor. We also added the use of a second driver training car. The fall classroom work is now completed, and the students are now concentrating on the "Behind the wheel" phase of driving instruction. Many have already been certified and licensed with many more scheduled in the next group. 16 Special audio-visual education equipment was loaned to Dennis -Yar- mouth from the State Department of Education for classroom experience this year. This "Drivacator" was used during the summer and fall ses- sions for classroom Driver Training instruction. A new course in basic photography is being offered to further our commitment in vocational training. With the knowledge and skill ac- quired in the course, the student will be able to photograph an event and produce a finished photograph of it with emphasis on quality, trans- forming a common snapshot into a photograph. The acquisition of the new print dryer allows the students to make glossy prints for use in news photos, brochures and yearbook work. One of the major goals of the 1970 Summer School was to increase the total of Dennis -Yarmouth students in our program. This goal was reached by increasing the number of our students from 58 in 1969 to a total of 104 in 1970. We hope to increase this total by trying to meet the needs of our students in the areas of Remedial, Developmental or Enrichment studies. The 1970 Summer School added to its utility for the Towns of Den- nis and Yarmouth by adding to the curriculum two new Math courses. We feel that Remedial General Math and Introduction to Algebra will help our freshmen and our students already enrolled to better prepare for the normal math curriculum offered by our school. In addition to the two new courses already listed, our curriculum included English 9, English 10, English 11, Composition, Remedial Read- ing, Development Reading, French I, French II and III, Spanish I, Latin I, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry. Introduction to Physics and Chemistry, Marine Biology, Typing, Driver Education, General Art, U. S. History, Black History in America and Introduction to Hand and Power Tools. We had a total of 340 students enrolled in our courses. Faculty members from our school were Mr. Charles Corkum, Mr. Stanley Daggett, Mr. Philip Egan, Mr. Richard Fairman, Mrs. Marguerite Garland, Mr. Russell Grander, Mr. Charles Jaillet, Mr. Thomas Kelly, Mr. Paul McGourty, Miss Sandra Rice, Mr. David Wood and Mr. Edward York. Guest members were Mr. Glenn Shealey, Mr. John Lynch and Mrs. Lois Stone. We are pleased to present this brief report of our efforts, plans and year's accomplishment. On behalf of the entire staff, may I express our sincere appreciation to the Superintendent of Schools and the Den- nis -Yarmouth School Committee for their continued interest, encourage- ment and support.

REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH DRUG STUDY COMMITTEE The Yarmouth Drug Study Committee filed a report of its study of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School students at the 1970 Town Meeting. Included in the report were several recom- mendations: (11 The Town initiate conversations with its neigh- bor towns and/or the County of Barnstable in regard to estab- lishing a Drug Treatment Center within and for the County of Barnstable; (2) the Yarmouth School Committee and the Dennis - Yarmouth Regional School Committee establish in our schools pro- grams of health education, to include instruction by specifically qualified instructors with regard to drugs and the dangers inherent in their use; (3) That a youth Counselling program be established within the Town, under auspices other than those of the School Committees, to provide all our young people with opportunities for individual counselling and for the discussion of problems with our young people and interested adults in a group ; (4) That the Com- mittee be continued and enlarged at a future Town Meeting. Since the 1970 Town Meeting, the Committee met on a bi- weekly basis and focused its attention on recommendation #3, to initiate a counselling program. An article was placed in the Special 26 Town Meeting Warrant of May, 1970. This article asked for a sum of $12,500 to be used for a drug counselling program. The article was deemed illegal by Town Counsel and therefore not passed. The committee, after the summer months, began meeting on a regular basis in September, 1970, with emphasis on broader par- ticipation by interested community residents. After considerable discussion it was agreed that the committee would place two ar- ticles in the 1971 Town Warrant ; the first asking for the establish- ment of a Youth Commission ; and the second asking that an appro- priation be raised to be used by the Youth Commission. The Committee voted to terminate the Drug Study Committee upon vote of Town Meeting. The Committee would be replaced by the Youth Commission, which could be concerned with youth in general, rather than being specifically drug -oriented. It is, therefore, recommended that the Yarmouth Drug Study Committee be terminated. Respectfully submitted, Yarmouth Drug Study Committee BARNSTABLE COUNTY REGIONAL REFUSE DISPOSAL PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH REPRESENTATIVES: After numerous meetings, the eleven member towns voted to seek professional assistance in forming a Regionalization Program. Therefore, Charles A. Maguire Associates, Inc., Consulting Engin- eers, Providence, Rhode Island, were engaged to analyse prior studies of our Committee, and to project a basic recommendation for Barnstable County. The completed Maguire Report recommends that most Cape Cod towns sub -regionalize into two or three Town Disposal Dis- tricts. The formation of these Districts are necessary due to limited site locations and to insure proper disposal control, which in turn would substantially reduce operational costs. The report further recommends that the Towns of Yarmouth and Dennis regionalize for this purpose. A copy of this report is on file with the Chair- man of the Board of Health. Therefore, at a Regular or Special Town Meeting, there will be an opportunity for the voters of Yarmouth to discuss and vote on the formation of a Regional Solid Waste Disposal District. Your Committee further recommends that The Board of Health, at its earliest convenience, review its current Disposal Area Regula- tions and consider the following additions: 27 (1) Limit use of Disposal Area to Residents and/or Tax- payers. (Sticker Identification Method.) (2) Establish fees for Commercial users. ( Resident and Non - Resident) (3) Establish separation practices for different types of mate- rials. (Domestic and Commercial) (4) Consider the appointment of an Advisory Committee to work with the Board of Health on Solid Waste Problems. Howard W. Marchant Thomas E.

This number included forty- one shade trees and fifty-three flowering trees. These trees were all staked and guyed for protection until a good root growth is established. Varieties of trees planted included Norway and Sugar Maples, Lindens, Mountain Ash, Flowering Cherries, Flowering Crab, and Hawthorne trees. During the Winter months many of the dead and dangerous Pine trees along the roadsides were cut down and removed. Many low -hanging tree limbs were cut back from interfering with traffic at intersections, Stop signs, and blind corners. DUTCH ELM DEPARTMENT During the month of April the dormant spraying of the Elm trees was carried out as usual, by helicopter. This spraying is done to control the Elm Bark Beetle, carrier of Dutch Elm Disease. Late last summer, after a prolonged dry spell, many Elm trees lost much of their foliage, and samples were taken, and sent to the Shade Tree Laboratories at The University of Massachu- setts. The results showed that ten trees, all on the North side of town, were infected with Dutch Elm Disease, and would have to be removed. They will be replaced with new young trees in the Spring. The foliage spraying of the Elm trees was done at four week intervals from May through September. INSECT PEST CONTROL The Gypsy Moth infestation in our town has become quite serious. It seems to be more noticeable on the North side of town, and where there are large areas of Oak trees, particularly in the Camp Greenough area. A scouting program was carried out, and plotted on maps to get a more accurate figure of the acreage to be sprayed by heli- copter, and it had been planned to spray 1,200 acres of woodland. Unfortunately, the plan could not be followed through, as the State banned all spraying by helicopter during the time the spraying would have been effective. Roadside spraying with hydraulic 88 sprayer, and mist blower, was carried out at this time in an effort to at least try to keep the Gypsy Moth under control. It is hoped in the coming year, that we will be more success- ful in controlling this pest. The Nantucket Tip Moth is still bother- ing certain sections of the town, mostly on the South side, but we are still keeping it under control through spraying with Cygon, and feel it is definitely on the decline. We have lost many native Pines, and many more have been left in a weakened condition due to this pest. The Tent Caterpillar, is as usual, kept in check by spraying the Choke Cherry trees where the caterpillar nests, in the early Spring. Our Poison Ivy program was carried on as usual, at beach and park areas, and along the roadsides. Respectfully submitted, Jon L. Holmes Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent IMPROVEMENT AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE REPORT Board of Selectmen January 18, 1972 Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth, Mass. 02664 1971 marked the first year of a full time gardener in the Town. Under the direct supervision of the expanded Park Department, his efforts and excellent work were well in evidence and appre- ciated by all. Also, his initiative and knowledge greatly reduced this committee's need for guidance and supervision — our thanks to him. . This year also saw a coordinated effort by the Highway De- partment and Park Department in having all of the major traffic islands in full bloom with the flowers or shrubs of the season. Nota- ble among these was the commendable job done at High Bank Road and North Main Street. Through the efforts of Mr. Arthur 89 J. Dahill, granite curbing was generously donated by the Common- wealth, and the townspeople should be proud of this attractive intersection. The Highway Department and the Town Engineer deserve special thanks for the excellent job done here. One of our largest projects of 1971 was at the West Yarmouth Community Building where the entire front lawn was graded and seeded. With the application of fertilizers and regular watering, the appearance of this valuable facility was greatly enhanced. The boundary of this property on the south side has been a point of contention for some time, and this year the boundary was finally defined and attractive fencing installed. A very significant event of 1971 was the great spring clean-up of the Town last March. Sponsored by the Yarmouth Police De- partment, this effort greatly improved the appearance of our road- ways., ,Special thanks are certainly in order for the time and in- itiative of Sgt's Douglas R. Space and Donald R. Flibotte as well as Mr. Theodore Frothingham, who motivated his organization, Friends of Conservation, to aid in the cause. Many wives of the policemen put on a great feed at the High School at mid-day and sustained the spirits of the workers. Local merchants also pitched in with donations, manpower, and vehicles to further the cause. It is our most earnest hope and recommendation that this event be made an annual affair. Special projects contemplated for 1972 include the continued improvement of the traffic islands in the Town, the improvement of the Bass River Wind Mill, and the Baxter Grist Mill. This committee is very pleased with the expansion and ex- pertize of the Park Department. In the past we have repeatedly urged the coordination of the care of all Town property by the top administration of the Town to eliminate duplication of authori- ty and funds. With the new strength in the Park Department, it is our 'feeling that 1972 should be the last year for this committee to effectively serve the needs of the Town. 1971 was the last year that we enjoyed the leadership and assistance of our Chairman, Viola A. Crowell, who has given so much of her' time and efforts for the benefit of the Town. Her generosity to the betterment of the Town of Yarmouth is greatly appreciated. Viola A. Crowell, Chairman (resigned) John G. Sears III, Vice Chairman John L. Marchildon, Secretary Howard C. -•Doane, Jr. Elva M. Tallman 90 REPORT OF THE - TOWN: GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMITTEE January 18, 1972 To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: Brief History — After several meetings with the Selectmen, Town Officials and interested parties, it became evident that Yarmouth, like many Massachusetts towns, has no Charter as such on record. Without a Charter, any evaluation of the government of the town would be quite meaningless, as conclusions would be based' on hearsay and opinion, not legal fact. There were many and 'varied interpreta- tions of the duties and responsibilities of the elected and appointed officials and their departments. In order to create a substitute Charter or "a compilation of legislative acts having the force of a Charter", Municipal Con- sultants, Inc. was retained to compile such a document. This docu- ment would be essential in the final preparation of a charter or could be used as a substitute as required by the Home Rule Act of 1966. The study was presented to the Committee late in October, 1971, at a cost of $1726. Although vague and indefinite in some respects, the Charter substitute gives a better understanding of the workings of our town government as it is today. Principal Findings — After carefully reviewing the substitute Charter, conferring with our consultants, town officials and interested parties and re- viewing the recently published By -Laws, the following findings were made, viz: (1) The present form of Government is very loose regarding duties and responsibilities of the Selectmen. (2) The elected officials appear to have complete autonomy over• their operation, with citizens having no means of appealing decision or actions. (3) Appointed officials seem to have been given or have assumed policy making authority not given by legislative acts or by-laws. (4) Some of the Town's,fiscal policies and practices are not up to date. These have imposed an extra tax burden on the taxpayers. 91 Principal Recommendations --- The The following recommendations have the approval of the ma- jority of the Committee: (1) That a Charter Commission be formed to present the substi- tute Charter or a revised version thereof to the voters for ratifica- tion as the Official Charter of the Town of Yarmouth as required by the Home Rule Act, thus establishing a truly legal document under which the town can operate as an autonomous unit with all benefits and advantages as set forth in said act. It is the sincere hope of this Committee that many citizens will take the opportunity of serving the town by running for the Charter Commission. WILLIAM N. CROMWELL, Chairman W. PAUL BAKER RICHARD ERNST WILLIAM W. EVERSMANN JAMES McVEY ROBERT J. PREBLE FRANCIS C. SWEENEY REPORT OF THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE To the Board of Selectmen and the citizens of the Town of Yar- mouth, I hereby submit the following report for the year ending De- cember 31, 1971. Clams and quahogs, as it appears now, are about holding their own ; with a slight increase in clams on the north side (which I believe is due to the predator control program). We had a good year for quahogs, as the supply in Mill Creek, West Yarmouth, held out amply throughout the year. The Department planted 500 bushels of quahogs through -out the town. All were good, healthy stock. About 100 bushels of oysters have been planted in various areas. Also, . the "Raft Sys- tem" was put into service again, raising oysters from seed of 3i" to 3" to 4" in size over a period of seven to eight months. This is the best growth we have had since the introduction of the oyster propagation program. In some areas, where we have already planted, it has been noted that a few natural oysters are starting to appear and survive. The natural oyster seed problem in the 92 Town has been a long, hard struggle, but this year showed the best results, so far, toward successful progress in the future years. We hope to add more rafts to speed up the "Raft System" growth process in 1972. Scallops appeared to be a bit below the average take. Lewis Bay is still having a problem with heavy grass, staghorn or (codium fragile), which hampers the harvest. However, the quality of the scallop remains one of the best in the county. The biologist, working with the Shellfish Department this past summer, set up an experimental station in different areas of the Town to observe the planting and surveying to determine biologi- cal, chemical and physical factors effect on the soft shell and qua- hogs in the town of Yarmouth. The experimental stations are still being observed, as the project is not quite complete. (A full report will be available for the Town Report of 1972). The experi- mental stations resemble square wooden boxes set in the sand or mud. It would be appreciated, if in these areas, the boxes were untouched. Several of these stations were destroyed by human predators of shellfish. This set the program back three to four weeks (or more) . Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Water tests were taken at stations through -out the town. This was done by our biologist along with the cooperation of the Barnstable County Health Laboratories. Spot checks were also done by Mr. Peter Harrington of the Massachusetts Division of Environmental Health. Results were good, with two exceptions, and immediate steps were taken to correct the situation. This water sampling, I plan to make a standard practice of this department, to insure clean water in our town.

During the year we made a total of 1013 Plumbing Inspec- tions and 888 Gas Inspections. The fees for the Plumbing and Gas permits were increased on April 1, 1971 per order of the Selectmen to try and make this De- partment self sufficient. The income from Plumbing permits for the Year 1971 was $7,988.50 as compared to $4,371.00 in 1970. The income from Gas permits for 1971 was $5,542.10 as compared to $2,558.00 in 1970. There were 25 Fire Department requests on investigations of fires ; 13 Board of Health investigations and 3 Court Appearances on violations of the Gas and Plumbing Codes. Respectfully submitted,.

The fire department was very saddened this year by the death of our Deputy Fire Chief Frank M. Sinnott Jr. on July 17th. He was truly dedicated to the fire service in the Town of Yarmouth and had risen to Deputy Chief from the ranks and was highly re- spected by the officers and men of the department as well as the many citizens of the Town with whom he had contact. His many associates and friends both in the fire service and in many other fields will long remember him. Men in this department are attending courses being offered at the Cape Cod Community College at night sessions and are earning semester hour credits that are creditable towards an Asso- ciate Degree. There are several courses presented during the year at the Barnstable County Fire Training School and many of these are attended by call and full time firefighters of this department. Two additional full-time men are requested for the fire de- partment in the 1972 budget to further improve the overall opera- tion of the department and is also working towards the recom- mendations of the 1964 survey of the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association covering paid personnel. This survey has been a guide for long range planning of the fire department and is in the interests of better fire protection for the Town. A request by the Capital Outlay Committee for an up to date survey by the Rating Association as to the present location of fire stations versus future planning has been forwarded to the Association and we are awaiting this move at this time. An article will appear in the warrant this year asking for a sum of money to replace the squad truck now in service in the fire department. It is the intent at this time to qualify for matching funds from the Department of Defense, Office of Civil Defense and to apply for these matching funds which can reimburse the Town for up to 50% of the cost of this vehicle. In closing I wish to express the thanks of the fire department to all town departments for their assistance during the year, to the residents of the town for their cooperation and support, to the Fire Belles our ladies auxiliary for their efforts and aid; and to the offi- cers and men of the fire department I express my sincere appre- ciation for their help. Dana H. Whittemore Chief of Fire Department 97 POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: Submitted herewith is the report of activities and arrests of the Police Department for the year 1971. Fear. Fear is where it's at for many law enforcement agencies. They tend to use "scare tactics" in an effort to obtain more per- sonnel, equipment, and the aid of Mr. Average Citizen. This form of persuasion may or may not be a deliberate attempt to frighten the Taxpayer into compliance but, in the final analysis, that is what happens. Self preservation tends to push the layman into supporting the Police Department with his tax dollar. This year we, of the Yarmouth Police Department, make no attempt to con you, the Taxpayer, into the belief that all-out sup- port is required or all is lost. This, obviously, is not the case. The "case" is as follows: We have asked the Finance Com- mittee for their approval in the adding of seven men to the De- partment. The reason being that I feel we are not sufficiently staffed to give the citizens and their property the protection they rightly deserve. By increasing the patrol function, by getting more officers on wheels in the public's view, we decrease the criminal activity within the Town. Here fear plays a major part in the pre- vention of crime. Fear of being found out, of being caught. The "ounce of prevention being worth the pound of cure" is never more evident than in police work. The Town of Yarmouth will not be a haven for those bent on illegal activities by our failure to acquire these asked -for officers. We anticipate no riots, no large-scale increase of burglaries, as- saults and batteries, larcenies, or other major criminal behavior. The streets will be no less safe than they are at this time. This being the case one would be justified in asking, "Why seven more men?". It is our hope to be able to reduce those criminal activities that are now occurring within our bounds. It is my sincere belief that the citizens of this Town rate the best possible protection their tax dollar can "reasonably" be expected to cover. The key word here is "reasonably". I find that by increasing our compliment by seven men we up the tax rate by less than seventy-five cents (75c.) per thousand dollar evaluation. The Finance Committee and your Board of Selectmen have asked me if we couldn't possibly do the job with less than seven officers. I have to reply that the job is being done now without these officers. However, I feel that it should be done better. With more roads, more homes and businesses, an expanding school sys- 98 tern, and the increasing population we cannot afford to be satisfied with what happened last year, or even last month. At the Selectmen's request I have agreed ( against my better judgment) to reduce the number of officers requested to five. These men will be assigned to patrol duty. Four will go to the two night shifts and one to days. These men are needed to cover the Town effectively. Two cruisers cannot possibly be expected to cover the entire Town with an eye towards cutting crime. A Third is definitely needed on each on the night shifts. These men will give us that third car during the hours of darkness and a second cruiser on days. We had entertained hopes that the narcotics problem would "top -off" this year. It has not, as evidenced by the substantial in- crease in the number of arrests for violations of this nature during 1971. Unfortunately, law enforcement is not the answer to the drug dilemma. We are merely capable of slowing the trafficking in illicit drugs. To cure this cancer in our society we must get its source. I don't refer to a "source of supply", I mean the sales source, our children. Education will have to assume a major role in this field if we are to bust this drug orientation kick society has adopted. Much of the illegal activity with which we have to deal is directly linked to the use of narcotics and harmful drugs. Our In- vestigative Section is "right out straight" answering complaints of every conceivable nature, many of them drug (or alcohol) related. This Section is under -staffed and the two men we have agreed to cut were slated to relieve their situation. We can live without them but the case -load on that unit you wouldn't believe. Though we require more man -power we do not find it neces- sary to ask for additional cruisers. We have five marked vehicles and, with any kind of luck, we will be able to keep most of them on the road, barring mechanical difficulties. What will it cost you, the Taxpayer, for five more police offi- cers? About fifty cents on your tax dollar. The effectiveness of your Police Department depends largely on you, the citizen of the Town. Not only do we require your support in Town Meeting but also your assistance in reporting crimes, suspicious persons, and any other activity that you feel warrants your contacting the police. Without your willing assist- ance we are literally handcuffed. In this, the fastest growing town in the Commonwealth (if not the entire East Coast) we, of neces- sity, must keep pace with growth. To "do our thing" we have got to keep abreast of the action. Failure to do so will result in in- effective policing of the Town. Respectfully submitted, Theodore P. Reynolds Chief of Police. 99 POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1971 Total number of arrests 2463 Number of arrests, juvenile male 123 Number of arrests, juvenile female 19 Number of

figures in the above chart reflect the result of Court action participated in by this office from January 1, 1971 through Decem- ber 31, 1971 for the Town of Yarmouth. Neither the categories nor the figures coincide with those of the Yarmouth Police Department because this chart represents an attempt to give an indication of those cases reaching the trial stage in the First District Court rather than the number of arrests made, or complaints filed. For the records of the office of the Prosecutor the cases were listed by case report rather than by number of defendants, so a case involving multiple defendants usually is listed as one case because it was presented as such. CONTINUANCES During the year 1971, this office has attempted to curtail the number of cases continued over a long period of time and for the most part we have been successful due in large part to the coopera- tion of the presiding Justices. As a general rule, cases have been heard within two months of the date of arraignment. Due to the unavailability of some summer police officers and defendants, how- ever, a certain small percentage of cases have been continued a number of times. DISMISSALS The chart reflects that twelve narcotics cases were dismissed during the calendar year 1971 which represents a sizeable portion of the total number of cases presented by this office for the Town 104 of Yarmouth. This particular figure is a reflection of an unfortu- nate incident which occurred during the summer 1971; an under- cover nai colic agent employed by Yarmouth and Barnstable fled the jurisdiction when it became apparent that charges were going to be brought against him. As a result, those cases involving his testimony had to be dismissed. The dismissals of motor vehicle violations resulted mostly from proof of insurance being presented by defendants charged with operating motor vehicles without being properly registered or insured. The - three other dismissals listed under the category of other crimes were for lack of evidence. CONTINUING EDUCATION OF POLICE OFFICERS A particular concern of this office has been to keep the Yar- mouth Police Department aware of changes in the statutes and of developing case law, both State and Federal. Along those lines, as Prosecutor, I have met with the patrolmen and officers of the Yarmouth Police Department on numerous occasions during the calendar year 1971 for the purpose of instruction, both in the sub- stantive area of the law and in the procedural presentation of cases in the courtroom. On one occasion a full scale mock trial was pre- sented with Judge Charles J. Ardito presiding and Attorney Rich- ard L. Curley acting as Defense Counsel. This. office has also is- sued periodic memos of new case law to the Department to make them aware of the changes in the law of search and seizure. 1/5/72 Richard M. Rougeau CIVIL DEFENSE DEPARTMENT'S REPORT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: During 1971 the Civil Defense Department continued its edu- cational program. All the firemen, the Fire auxiliary and the Police Auxiliary attended advance first aid classes and medical self help programs. - Under the direction of Lt. Kidwell and Patrolman Wetherbee the Underwater Rescue Team continued their training and, under mutual aid, were called to assist other towns on the Cape. Sergeant Donald Flibotte directed the Auxiliary Police in their activities. This small group of dedicated men gave more than 1500 hours, of their time to the service of the town. In cooperation with Chief Whittemore and Capt. Hughes, the Fire Department placed added emphasis on recruiting and training an Auxiliary Fireman 105 unit. These men will be trained and equipped so that, like their counterpart in the Auxiliary Police unit, they will be ready should the need arise. After several years of waiting, and in cooperation with the Town of Mashpee and the U. S. Air Force, this department was able to secure, at a very nominal cost, a full size Ambulance. This unit was placed in service after much work by a few dedicated people. The ambulance is currently under the direction of the Police Department and Civil Defense. Making its debut at home football games during the fall season, its primary function is the transportation of patients who are town residents to off Cape hos- pitals. This department as in the past years continued to train and equip for any type of either natural or man-made emergency. Respectfully submitted, Robert K. Edwards, Director BUILDING INSPECTOR'S REPORT Submitted herewith is the Annual Report of the Building In- spector for 1971. A total of 1030 Building permits were applied for and 1009 were issued for construction estimated to cost $16,486,111. These permits include all new dwellings, commercial buildings, garages, accessory buildings and alterations. Of the 1009 permits issued, 716 were for single and duplex houses. In 1970 there were 846 Building permits issued for construction estimated to cost $13,661,241. Fees collected and paid to the Town Treasurer for Building Permits in 1971 were $6,579.00 as compared to $4,535.00 collected in 1970. In the Building Inspector's Department we had one full time and one part-time man to cover sewage inspection, building in- spection, Board of Health investigations, Sign inspections as well as handle the Sealer of Weights and Measures work. The part-time man resigned on Dec. 17, 1971 because of in- sufficient salary for all the work involved. A new qualified man has not been found for an assistant at this time. The work load in this department has been on the increase each year as is verified by the above statistics, and more help is needed to properly cover the work being presented. 106 We are working toward a Building permit fee that will be more realistic to the work involved and tend to make this depart- ment more self-supporting and ease the tax burden to the Town. Alex Catto retired on June 26, 1971 and I took over from a part-time position to full time. Respectfully submitted, Howard A. Spurr Building Inspector REPORT OF THE VETERANS' AGENT AND DIRECTOR OF VETERANS' SERVICES District Board: Carl Hiler, Chairman, Sandwich Kirkwood Brown, Dennis E. Thomas Murphy, Barnstable Frank Hicks, Mashpee H. Raymond Darling, Yarmouth Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: I hereby submit my annual report of the District Department of Veterans Services. For the Town of Yarmouth, this department spent $39,000 on veterans benefits ; a total of 41 cases were aided for ordinary bene- fits, medical and nursing homes. A total of 5092 people came into the district office in Hyannis and we tried to solve all of their many problems that veterans and their dependents encounter. The Veterans Administration on the federal level use this office once a month, on the second Thursday, between the hours of 9:30 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. Included is a report from the District Investigator, Mr. Sidney L. Chase which follows: As the District's Investigator, my main objective is to follow- up after application, make a report of all cases ; this to be con- tinued on a regular schedule for as long as the applicant remains 107 on Veterans Benefits. For the calendar year 1971, 39 home investi- gations were made by this department for the Town of Yarmouth. Other duties include, on emergency basis only, transportation to various VA hospitals or regional offices, and to aid Mr. Cross with the daily problems of the Veterans' Service office. The Department wishes to thank the Boards of Selectmen and their various Town Departments for the splendid cooperation throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, Charles H. Cross Director and Agent REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH YOUTH COMMISSION The Youth Commission was authorized by the Town at the 1971 Town Meeting. After numerous applicants were screened, Mr. Paul Provost of Bristol, Conn. was chosen as the Youth Co- ordinator for Yarmouth. Since taking over his duties last August, there has been a slow but sure progress towards the aims of this Commission - to be a liaison between the Town and our young people; thus giving every- one a sounding board - and a minimizing of the so-called genera- tion gap. This is evident in the cooperation between the young people of our town and our Senior Citizens. This Commission is looking forward to a permanent location in the future which will be available to our young people to relax, study, or seek a quiet corner for a conference with our Coordinator. It is preferable to proceed at our slow, steady pace than to dash head -long ; and thus to help our Young People to find the courage to change what they can; accept what they cannot; and the wisdom to know the difference.

Yarmouth, Mass. 02664 Leon Charkoudian, Commissioner Department of Community Affairs 100 Cambridge Street Boston, Mass. 02202 Mr. Thaddeus Buczko, State Auditor State House Boston, Mass. The Yarmouth Housing Authority is pleased to report that in the calendar year 1971, we progressed with our maintenance pro- gram. It consisted of complete reconstruction and enlargement of the two sewerage leaching fields in the plaza. This involved the installation of new underground drain pipes, replacement of crushed stone, gravel and loam and reseeding of two sections of the lawn. A section of black -top walk to building #3 was renewed and a new walk was constructed to building #4. Two apartments were completely refurbished. Our contemplated maintenance pro- gram includes painting the exterior walls and trim of four tenant buildings and the Community Building. On March 1, 1971, the Authority participated in the Rental Assistance Program (Chapter 707) that supplements state -aided public housing. To date a total of 14 low income families in the Town of Yarmouth are included in the program. The Housing Project, consisting of 40 units, has been fully occupied for the entire year and there are on file approximately thirty applications for future admissions from Yarmouth residents. Briefly, eligibility requirements are that a person must be 65 years of age or over ( single individuals living alone, or couples are eligible) and of low income. All rents for elderly persons residing in the Plaza are computed on 25% of the tenants' income. A financial statement of operations as of December 31, 1971 is: Income including state aid $33,404.92 Expense 30,916.33 Respectfully submitted, Howard A. Spurr, Chairman James H. Brown, Vice Chairman Spear T. Holway, Treasurer Peter G. Homer Edward M. Webster 109 HIGHWAY SURVEYOR'S REPORT Dec. 23, 1971 To the Board of Selectmen: In 1971 the Town voted to accept seventeen new roads and three roads for reconstruction, Pine Grove Rd., Archie Rd. and Duffy Rd. It was also voted to construct a portion of Forest Road. Ap- proximately half of this was completed. It is hoped that the 1972 Town Meeting will appropriate funds for the completion of this road. Using Chapter 768 monies, a portion of Willow St. in Yar- mouthport was rebuilt using a reclamation process which proved very satisfactory. Chapter 90 Maintenance monies were used to resurface an- other section of Higgins Crowell Rd. in West Yarmouth. The sides of all new roads were loamed and seeded. 167 Precast Leaching Basins, 13 Catch Basins and 4360 feet of pipe were used for drainage purposes in various streets in the Town. Of these, 47 Leaching Basins, 3 Catch Basins and 1600 ft. of pipe were used in Captains Village in So. Yarmouth. Sidewalks were constructed on Long Pond Drive in South Yarmouth ( 734 feet with concrete curbing) and on Willow St. in Yarmouthport ( 552 feet with asphalt curbing) . Three islands were built this year. One on the corner of Berry Ave. and Broadway, one at the intersection of Abells Rd. and Hig- gins Crowell Rd. and the third at the intersection of Highbank Rd. and North Main St. We would like to thank the Park Department for the fine landscaping they did on these islands. Sixty three new street signs were erected and sixty thousand feet of white lines were painted on various streets. During the year a Catch Basin cleaning machine was rented for a period of ten weeks and our Sweeper was busy keeping all the streets swept. There are still sixty seven sand roads in the Town that have to be maintained. Each year we are bothered by the ever increasing amount of roadside litter. This past year we spent 1614 hours picking up the Town roadsides. James C. Marsh, Highway Surveyor. 110 REPORT OF THE VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL CAPE COD, INC. FOR 1971 Total Visits by the Visiting Nurse Association in the Yarmouth Area were somewhat higher than in 1970. Distribution according to service is as follows: 1970 1971 Home Visits for Nursing Care 2,029 2,056 Visits to Tuberculosis Cases 30 22 Maternity Home Visits 248 272 Visits for Health Promotion 75 107 Total 2,382 2,457 Through contract with the Easter Seal Society, the Physical Therapist made 188 visits ; the Occupational Therapist made 6 visits and the Speech Therapist made 14 visits in the Town of Yar- mouth. Early in the year, we sponsored a free Rubella Clinic for Pre-school children. We were grateful to the physicians that vol- unteered and the Yarmouth Jaycee-ettes. We appreciate the assistance given by all town officials. Respectfully submitted, Amelia C. Beauregard Executive Director BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPT. 1971 ANNUAL REPORT This has been a year of self evaluation, proposals, growth and change as well as involvement in community planning groups. Each department worker in reviewing accomplishments, has ex- pressed the need for unification of county -wide services in his own field; there continues to be duplication, fragmentation and unequal distribution of services. This is based on the variety of authority and structure of public and private agencies in the 15 towns. In Environmental Health, Medical Social Work, Nursing and Den- tal Health all have outlined an upper, mid and lower cape staffing pattern using experienced staff and junior workers. These areas would have planned supervision, clerical service, personnel and services policies and provision for substitute coverage during ab- sences. Priority in planning will be given to the following: strength - 111 ening of staff and services in Environmental Health, Medical Social Work, and the reclassification of staff positions. Environmental Health: More requests are being made for water chemistry because of the public's awareness of ecological and pollution problems ; more inspections of food establishments, and of day care centers, continue to be needed. Workshops on a regular basis have been begun so that Health Agents and Depart- ment Staff can share problems and can jointly engage other con- sultant help. Nursing, Dental and Medical Social Work: Again the number of workers in school health services has increased as school popu- lation increased. Consultation has increased in schools and home health agencies where new nurses and health aides have been em- ployed. The state clinic program for handicapped children has been transferred to the county for full management, and three new positions are state funded: that of physical therapist, develop- mental therapist and head clerk. Their talents and time are also offered to licensed day care centers in a consultant capacity and to schools. The County Health Officer, Miss Mary Susich, announced her retirement as of the end of the year. Because of her planning and because of motivation of staff and associates, the department will continue to work toward the improvement of services throughout the county.

Acting County Health Officer 112 1971 ANNUAL REPORT - PARK DEPARTMENT The operating cost of the Park Department in 1971 was $78,- 354.82 against an income from beach parking fees and conces- sionaires of $57,771.10. The net cost of the Park Department to the Town of Yarmouth was, therefore, approximately $21,000.00, an increase of $10,000.00 from 1970. This increase was due primarily to action taken at the 1971 Town Meeting which turned down a Special Article which would have transferred all Town Beaches to the Park Department. As a result, these beaches remained under the Selectmen and the small Bay View, Englewood, Colonial Acres and Sea View Beaches continued as unrestricted, free beaches ; since, under State laws, the Selectmen do not have the same au- thority to levy fees that the Park Commission has. More and more visitors flocked to these free beaches instead of paying parking fees at Sea Gull, Parkers River or Bass River Beaches. Overcrowding, especially of parking areas and adjacent road- ways and lawns, was a continuing source of irritation to residents of the four areas. Another source of complaint was the lack of swimming in- struction, a program which had been available at Town Beaches for many years. Funds for this program were eliminated by the Finance Committee and were not restored by Town Meeting even though a request for such funds was made. The Park Commission will again ask in 1972 for transfer of the beaches and for funds for swimming instruction. The third problem area, increased vandalism, is one which does not have an obvious solution. Broken plumbing fixtures, smashed doors and stolen shingles, plants and shrubs were the most common offenses. While considerable frustration to the Park main- tenance force and considerable inconvenience to the general public resulted, most problems resulting from vandalism were corrected expeditiously. Fortunately, the majority of the Department's programs were operated on an increasingly efficient basis. The hire of two full time, year round maintenance men in Feb- ruary resulted in (1) a more economical operation, (2) more timely correction of problems, (3) better maintenance and (4) reduction in the need to call in outside assistance at a much higher cost. The hiring of an experienced gardener from April to October was also of great benefit to the Town and to the Park Department. Excellent publicity was given the efforts of this employee and many compliments were received in the press, by letter and in person. In August, the Park Commission was fortunate to be able to hire LeRoy P. Rogers, Jr. as Park Manager to succeed William S. Howard, who resigned. Mr. Rogers brought to the Department 113 some 20 years experience in construction and maintenance and greatly expanded its ability to perform maintenance and construc- tion projects in-house at great savings to the taxpayer. Cooperation with the various Town Boards, Commissions and Committees continued at a high level. Continuing contacts were maintained with the Selectmen, the Town Clerk, the Police De- partment, the Improvement and Beautification and Waterways Committees, a special thanks go to the Town Engineer and Town Counsel and the Highway Department for their. assistance. This report would not be complete without a tribute to Bill Howard. Bill was pressed into service as Park Manager in the Spring of 1969, when the previous manager suddenly retired. He had no background in the work and had been associated with the department for only about one month as part time Park Clerk. In spite of this, he organized and developed an efficient, highly re- spected operation. When he was hired in 1969 The Department consisted of a beat -up truck, a rusty shovel and a rake with broken tines. When he retired in 1971, the Department had the tools and personnel to do its job, including the beat -up truck, which was in much better condition than it had been two years earlier. To Bill Howard - many thanks for a job well done. Walter H. Porter, Chairman Park Commission HARBORMASTER'S DEPARTMENT REPORT The number of boats on the waters of the Town has increased by 41% over the last two years. Mooring areas are becoming fewer and fewer. It is suggested by this Department that townspeople who want to moor their boats do so early in the spring to assure a good mooring area. I am happy to report that no major accidents or injuries took place over the past year, and that this year an educational pro- gram will be implemented within this Department for new boat owners. As in the 1968 Town Report, I strongly urge the investigation of Town acquisition of a small maintenance dredge to keep our rivers and bays deep enough for boat traffic. This dredge could also be used for the reclamation of beach sand lost during the win- ter. Every spring this sand is trucked to Bass Hole Beach and other beaches on the sound side. A dredge could eliminate this problem. John L. Silver, Jr., Harbormaster 114 BARNSTABLE COUNTY REGIONAL REFUSE DISPOSAL PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth January 25, 1972 Gentlemen: In the year 1969, town meetings in a majority of the towns on Cape Cod created a Regional Refuse Disposal Planning Commit- tee. At their first meeting this committee created a Regional Refuse Disposal Planning Board. I am speaking for the representatives of the twelve member towns in this program. This Board was formed to study and set forth guide lines for the present and future solid waste disposal needs of Barnstable County. This group operates under enabling legislation as a recommending body and as such has no direct authority to enforce its recommendations. After months of study, resulting in many meetings and the con- tracting of a consulting firm to aid in determining the best method to handle our refuse problems, it was generally agreed that the sanitary landfill method of Refuse Disposal was the most accept- able. Also, it was suggested that Neighboring communities join to form a sub -regional sanitary landfill site and operation. State regulations require that each municipality must up -grade their land -fill operation, and in most cases it is more economical to join with neighboring communities to form a sub -regional sani- tary landfill site. Centralization offers economy of Personnel, Equipment and Land requirements. Most members of our plan- ning board were of the opinion that there would be many problems in trying to convince the voters that regionalization is the best method for the member towns in Barnstable County to follow. Due to the lack of interest of the member towns it was voted at our September 16, 1971 meeting not to recommend regionaliza- tion at this time. The Charles A. Maguire report has been supplied to all mem- ber towns, and we believe this will be of great value in any future development for refuse disposal methods. Until its expiration in March, 1972, this board will work in co-operation with the Cape Cod Planning and Economic Develop- ment Commission in any manner it possibly can, if called upon to do so. Sincerely, Howard W. Marchant Acting Chairman 115 REPORT OF THE TRAFFIC COMMITTEE Generally speaking, the townspeople of Yarmouth have been fortunate in our big road program. Your Traffic Committee has been deeply gratified with the number of land owners who have been generously disposed toward our projects. There has been a high acceptance of the proposition that the roads being constructed were good for the community, therefore they were also good for the property owners along the way. The Committee appreciates this cooperation and generous spirit. It is our wish that the own- ers' hopes have been reasonably satisfied. During this past year while Forest Road has been progressing, the Committee has been concentrating on arranging the transit rights necessary for Old Town House Road which we expect to present at the next Annual Town Meeting. We, of necessity, must bring this before the Town until it is voted favorably. It is the last link in our total interlocking network and it gives meaning to the overall plan. Its completion will be close to three years or more in the future from the time it is voted. Toward the latter part of the year the "TOPICS" (Traffic Operations Program to Increase Capacity and Safety on Urban Streets) program occupied a portion of our time and attention. The study, done by professional traffic engineers under contract to the Massachusetts Department of Public Works, is quite extensive and it is obvious that many projects will never be able to be funded. It is the Committee's feeling that recognizing this we should take advantage of this professional analysis of our problem spots and extract from it any improvements that are within Yarmouth's capacity to do on its own. If you are interested enough in our doings to have read this far, we would again remind you that it is essentially a non-profes- sional committee, therefore, if you have any ideas or suggestions we could work on, we strongly urge you to give us the opportunity to try them for size. You just might have an answer we need. During a portion of the year the Town Engineer was not avail- able to us and this brought home mightily how dependent this committee is on his counsel and his department. The continuing support and cooperation received from the Selectmen's Office and from the Planning Board has made our work easier. The Traffic Committee 116 BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS REPORT The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1971. Present number of active services 8485 Services installed during 1971 719 Gallons of water pumped 740,279,126 The Town of Yarmouth continues to grow. The installation of 719 new services during 1971 attests to that. Water Department revenue was $460,386, an increase of $37,750 over 1970. Gallons of water pumped increased by over 130,000,000. This represents a 22% increase over the previous year. Since 1966 we have installed nearly 3100 new services and the amount of water pumped has increased by almost 100%. These tremendous increases are beginning to tax our present facilities and it is obvious that additions to our wells, wellfields and storage capacity for water are going to have to be supplemented by addi- tions to our staff, office space and maintenance and supply build- ings in the very near future. There has been a great deal of publicity recently about water supplies and the danger of over building in the Town of Yarmouth. Perhaps it would not be out of line to summarize the present prob- lem and suggested solutions as viewed by the Commissioners at this time. It is generally agreed that there is a substantial supply of water available in the ground. The problem is to pump it out and dis- tribute it to you, the consumers. During this past year on one day all the pumps were operated at full capacity. This could be re- peated again a number of times without serious consequences. However, prudent management dictates that all pumps not be op- erated continuously to prevent maintenance problems and to allow the wells to recover. If a pump had to beshut down during a peak demand period then water use would have to be curtailed. If a supply of water is available underground the Town must own the land. As land continues to be subdivided for other pur- poses, less and less is available for wellfields. Furthermore the supply of water dictates which parcels must be used. A building can be erected anywhere a suitable foundation is constructed, a wellfield must be located over the water source. If water and wellfields are available, wells and pumping sta- tions must be constructed and at some point during this expansion of the system, distribution lines and storage facilities must be pro- vided. Land for storage tanks needs certain unique features which limits the number of locations that are available. 117 This year the Water Commissioners are presenting a group of articles in the Town Warrant which we hope will help to solve some of these problems. We are asking for funds to construct two new wells and pumping substations on land in West Yarmouth. If provided, these should be in operation in 1973. Monies are being requested to purchase two tracts of land in West Yarmouth for use as wellfields. It is believed that at least four new wells could be developed in these areas. The Town is also being asked to purchase a tract of land suitable for the con- struction of another storage tank. It is estimated that this will be needed within five years, based on present growth rates. It is imperative that we find out our long range water re- sources at this time. We are requesting $50,000 this year, as part of a $150,000 three-year plan, to draw up a comprehensive master plan of the town's water resources. This should assist all town agencies in their plans for the future. Lastly, funds are being requested to completely overhaul and clean two of the older wells and pumping units. This will restore their pumping capacity which will lessen the peak loads on other units. The Commissioners wish to thank everyone at this time for their continued support and interest and look forward to another year of meaningful progress. Frederick J. Thacher Roger G. Edwards, Jr. Thomas E. Kelley REPORT OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE All indicators point to an acceleration of tax rates to an aver- age rise of 7.3% annually over the next five years compared to an average annual increase of 4.8% for the past ten years. The causes are many although primarily due to inflation and to rapid growth of population and area occupancy. Inflation not only applies to the cost of materials and supplies but makes necessary salary and wage adjustments, a major cause of the increase in operating budgets. Population and area growth add to the cost of all municipal services including: 118 School facilities and operating staffs, Water sources, equipment and extensions, Connecting roads and highways, Fire and police staffing and equipment, Recreational facilities and staffing, Board of Health operations, Inspection of buildings and services. It is characteristic that increased operating costs accelerate faster than tax ratables. The Yarmouth pattern shows no significant variation from that of other rapidly growing communities. The tax rate prediction in the first paragraph of this report does not include almost certain school construction cost, which by borrowing will add from $1.00 to $1.40 to the tax rates in 1973 through 1976 for each million dollars borrowed by the town for schools or which is the town's share of the cost of a regional school. An estimate of new school cost is not undertaken in this report as the influence of new ideas in school design are not universally accepted or completely frozen in concept or means of implemen- tation. CAPITAL REQUESTS The total capital requests through 1976 amount to $4,586,600, an average of $917,320 per year, distributed as follows: WATER $1,876,950 Major items are two well fields to be brought in and a new 4,000,000 gallon tank. In addition exploration for new well fields and land acquisition will be required. Borrowing of $1,550,000 in three separate loans is recom- mended. HIGHWAYS $1,349,500 This amount is for normal programs of road construction and reconstruction, sidewalks, Chapter 90 work, a storage shed for salt and vehicle replacements. TRAFFIC $ 585,000 Old Town House Road reconstruction and extension. A loan of $550,000 is recommended. PARKS $ 320,000 For parks, beaches, playgrounds, picnic areas, also includ- ing a storage building and three beach buildings. POLICE $ 152,000 An addition to the Police Station, a chain link fence and vehicles. 119 COUNCIL ON AGING $ 150,000 For a building to be constructed at White Rock and West Yarmouth Roads on the property the use of which was granted to the Council by the 1971 Town Meeting. A loan for $145,000 is recommended. GOLF COURSE $60,950 For an addition to the club house, a new well, a greens; mower and a fairway unit. FIRE $ 58,200 For vehicles including a new emergency squad truck. BOARD OF HEALTH Equipment for an approved sanitary land -fill operation of the dump. BORROWING Borrowing for sizeable capital appropriations is possible and often advantageous but such expenditures are not a very large part of total appropriations. While capital items amount to approxi- mately 4% millions in the next five years, the operating budgets are expected to exceed 40 million dollars. Following is a schedule for borrowing for 1972 through 1976 exclusive of any required school construction: 1972 FOR APPROPRIATE BORROW TERM Old Town House Road $585,000 $550,000 10 years Water (well) 360,000 350,000 10 " Council on Aging 150,000 145,000 10 " 1973 None 1974 Water (well) $400,000 $400,000 10 years 1975 Water ( tank) $800,000 $800,000 20 years INCREASING TAX RATES The "why" of tax rate increases can be seen in an examina- tion of trends over the past few years. Taxable valuations have been increasing at an average annual rate of 9.7%. Appropriations have increased an average 14% annually. Operating budgets have been 17.5% up the average year. School budgets have been increasing at an average rate exceeding 23%. 120 It is obvious that tax increases must result from imbalances between income and outgo of such a magnitude. Moreover, it is apparent why considcrable study is given to annual budgets by the Finance.- Committee. Approximately 60% of operating budgets is accounted for by salary and wage portions. Assuming that the borrowing schedule and the programs as outlined are accepted and approved by Town Meeting, the approxi- mate tax rates for five years are as follows: 1972 $86.00 1973 93.00 1974 99.00 1975 104.00 1976 113.00 . Details are shown in the Table. THE STABILIZATION FUND Contributions to the stabilization fund are indicated in the table and are highly recommended. Such appropriations are of great value in stabilizing the tax rate in future years and have special value when school construction is imminent. Presently Yar- mouth's stabilization fund amounts to only Briefly stated, the State will match sums from a stabilization fund only for a minimum of $75,000 to a maximum of $100,000 for school construction. The amount to be matched must be in the stabilization fund on the December 31st preceding the vote of the town appropriating from the fund. The recommended appropriations to the fund bring the total available to the necessary $75,000 minimum in 1972 and may be appropriated in 1973 for any required school construction. The es- timated impact upon the tax rates for these appropriations are: 1972 94 cents 1973 57 " 1974 39 " 1975 24 " 1976 22 " A matching fund of $75,000 after an appropriation from the stabilization fund would have a net value to the town of $114,000 as compared to the addition of $75,000 to a 20 year bond issue at 5%. FUTURE PROBLEMS While every effort was made to present a complete and ac- curate projection of the tax trend, our crystal ball failed to reveal all of the pitfalls that could easily upset the predictions. As pre - 121 viously mentioned, new school construction will, without doubt, cause tax escalation of material magnitude. There are other projects that could put a further burden on the taxpayers. For example, conversion of our present dump opera- tions to an approved sanitary land -fill method may cost more than estimated by the consulting engineers that made a County -wide survey. We may be faced with expensive land acquisition for the purpose. In the present projection we have allowed $34,000 for equipment and supplies only. The operating budget for the ap- proved method will be considerably higher, affecting the tax rate by another half dollar or thereabouts. Perhaps the conversion will be forced upon us before 1974 as presently scheduled. In the not too distant future, sewers will most certainly be required to prevent pollution to our water supply. This will be accompanied by treatment plants so that we do not pollute the waters of Nantucket Sound or Cape Cod Bay. The terrain of Yar- mouth is such that costly pumping stations will be required. Storm sewers present similar problems and are needed in many sections of the town. All of this will cost millions of dollars. Perhaps State and/or Federal aid will somewhat alleviate the demand upon the real estate tax. However, with similar problems facing nearly every community country wide, the favorable effect will undoubtedly be accompanied by offsetting increases of income, sales or other taxes dipping into another pocket. Hopefully the predictions herewith are pessimistic. If past trends are continued as anticipated, the projections should be sub- stantially accurate. It would seem that the capital requests are, on the whole, reasonable, will benefit the town, and should be implemented approximately as scheduled. Procrastination can be costly during inflationary periods. In this committee's "maiden voyage" excellent cooperation from town officials, departments, committees and commissions made our work agreeable for which we extend our hearty thanks and appreciation. 12/27/71 Capital Budget Committee Arthur S.

The programs are well planned with a definite goal that will be of the greatest value to the town. We are preparing a map which will identify all town lands, viz, conservation, etc., which will acquaint you with these wonder- ful areas. 123 We are planning to expand our trail network, so these areas will be easily accessible for your enjoyment. With the help of Robert Edwards and his Boy Scouts, the Conservation Commission planted a thousand trees on conservation lands. We plan to continue this program for its many benefits to wild life and to the beauty of the community. "Mo" Johnson, as conservation officer, continues his survey- ance of conservation lands, particularly the herring run, which is one of his continuing projects. Lee Colton and Fernand LeMay were appointed as new mem- bers, to change the commission from five to seven members. This year we have acquired an additional forty-eight and a half (48%) acres, to make our land area about 200 acres. We also have about 200 acres of marshland and easements and unions on about 418 acres, for a grand total of 818 acres. The State Department of Natural Resources has made a de- cision that all hearings involving wetlands be held before Town Conservation Commissions instead of selectmen. The decision takes effect on Feb. 1, 1972. Your loyal support helps us succeed in this valuable work. Raymond Syrjala (Chairman) John Newton (Secretary) Allen Vera Quinton Scott H. Raymond Darling Fernand LeMay Lee Colton REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL BOARD January 18, 1972 To the Board of Selectmen: Town of Yarmouth: Gentlemen: Submitted herewith is the annual report of the Personnel Board for 1971. The board has had a very active year, holding a total of 29 meetings. Additional meetings have been necessitated by the in- creased labor demands due to the rapid growth of our Town and keeping abreast of the phase one and two programs and their guide- line restrictions. 124 We now have a personnel index cardsystem with all pertinent data on each employee that comes under our by-laws. We also have an up to date job description file for all jobs under our by- laws. Some of the principal recommendations we will be making at our annual Town Meeting will be the following: 1. Five percent cost of living adjustment for all full time employees. 2. A longevity program for town employees. 3. Building inspectors position elevated to S-17. 4. Assistant building inspector elevated to S-15. 5. Town engineer to be taken out of the (S) category and placed in a separate category ( Licensed Land Surveyor) . 6. Additional sick leave benefits for town employees. The Personnel Board wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, Finance Board and all employees for their assistance and coopera- tion. Respectfully submitted Leslie E. Campbell, Chairman Alfred R. Nelson, V. Chairman Fred V. Olson, Secretary Edward McGrath Warren Nunheimer HISTORIC YARMOUTH PORT DISTRICT COMMISSION 1971 REPORT The commission held 12 regular meetings and 7 special meet- ings during the year. There were 54 certificates of approval issued, 22 for new dwellings, 14 for remodeling, 18 for signs on other struc- tures and 4 certificates for approvals not required. The commission has tried to be just and fair in reaching de- cisions as to the desires of residents and new families residing within the District and to preserve and embrace the District so that it will remain the most attractive village on Cape Cod. It is with regret that we note the passing of Paul W. Stewart last June. He served as chairman for several years and will be missed by all. John E. Harris - Chairman Trenor F. Goodell Frederick C.

Our new addition was dedicated on April 25. With this new room our Library now can be used to its fullest capacity. Again this past year I have attended many conventions and meetings and feel that the suggestions and methods observed have helped us in many ways. Our "Summer Tea" was well attended. Mr. William Marnell spoke about his new book "Once Upon a Store". Our record collection is being well circulated and we hope to add to it this coming year. Many thanks to all who donated books, our volunteers and all who helped in any way this past year. We thank the Selectmen and taxpayers for their interest and cooperation. Respectfully submitted Eleanor E. Finn Librarian SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY REPORT To the Board of Selectmen: It is my pleasant duty to once again submit my annual, report of our activities during 1971. It has been a banner year for the South Yarmouth Library circulationwise and we show an increase of 6,498 books, 166 periodicals and 217 records or an overall in- crease of 6,857 circulations over 1970. July and August were our biggest months on record, circulating over 5,000 books each month. VOLUMES: December 31, 1970 14,258 Books added 1971 1,047 15,305 Discarded and lost 1971 517 TOTAL - December 31, 1971 14,788 128 CIRCULATION: Adult Juvenile Periodicals Records Total 33,864 7,569 1,402 289 43,124 Number of days open - 251 A story hour for pre-school children was started during the summer and proved very successful. It is held every other Wed- nesday and is conducted by Mrs. Silas Stowe who has had many years of experience working with children of this age level. We hope to continue this indefinitely. Mrs. Frank Mazzur who has been our substitute for several years has resigned. It was with regret that we accepted her de- cision. Mrs. Theodore Stewart of South Yarmouth has replaced Mrs. Mazzur in this position and we are pleased to have her with us. Time finally took its toll on our old garage and it became necessary to either do extensive repairs or tear it down. The latter course of action was decided upon and a steel storage shed has been erected to replace it. We continue to use the facilities of the Eastern Regional Li- brary System and are most grateful for the fine service we receive from the Falmouth Public Library and the Boston Public Library. We have borrowed 107 books and 9 films from Falmouth and Bos- ton and have also borrowed ten books from Cape libraries. We also have a collection of books here that the Eastern Regional Li- brary System loaned to us to augment our own collection, especially during the summer and these were a big help. I have attended several meetings during the year as your rep- resentative and as usual, found them helpful and informative. I feel that these are an important part of my work and that they do much to help us give you all better service. Very few libraries ever have enough shelf space and we are no exception. During the year we had three sections of our stacks in the non-fiction room doubled in length and thus added quite a bit of space. To say thank you to everyone who has helped make 1971 the successful year it was would be impossible. However, special thanks go to Nancy Stewart for her unflagging interest and good work; to Mrs. John Keary for again making our gardens so lovely; to the West Dennis Garden Club for the lovely hanging flower arrangements they have provided us ; to Mrs. Ann Maxtone-Gra- ham for her ceaseless interest and patience, and to the Board of Directors for their continued cooperation. And last but by no means least, to our fine patrons for their gifts of books and money and for making our days so pleasant. Respectfully submitted, Virginia M. Osborn Librarian 127 YARMOUTH LIBRARY REPORT Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: We are happy to Afternoons Evenings Saturday mornings submit the following report for the year 1971: STATISTICS Circulation Periods open Afternoons 18,190 155 6,185 3,145 52 1,135 2,921 52 1,037 24,256 259 8,357 BOOK STOCK Additions Gifts Purchases Total 94 404 498 From Eastern Regional, in 1971, we borrowed 121 books. These loans saved us approximately $730.00, kept the borrowers satisfied and, most important, saved housing these books. We are grateful for this helpful service. This Library has hosted three Eastern Regional workshops. On May 28th, Mrs. George Michaels conducted a Public Relations Workshop. On October 6th Miss Michelina Vaccaro conducted a workshop, "Thinking and doing" - a panel of three discussed the teen-ager and the Library. On November 4th, Mr. Euclid J. Peltier conducted an all -day Audio -Visual session. These Eastern Regional workshops were well attended and the Cape Librarians gained valuable information from each meeting. National Library Week was observed from April 18-24. Open house was held on Sunday, April 18th. A half-hour of music, fur- nished by Mrs. Lawrence Sibley and friends, was, as usual, en- thusiastically received by a large audience. Miss Ida Johnston, with an able Committee, furnished artistic and tasty refreshments. Mr. Hugh Clark and Mrs. Gurdon Dower co-operated with the Trustees in presenting many exhibits. Especially popular were diaramas exhibited by the school students. On Saturday morning, for the children, a Magician, Mr. Benjamin Thacher, performed. The Trustees are grateful to all of these people who helped make the week a great success. 128 The membership of the Friends of the Yarmouth Library has grown to 222 members. The programs have been excellent and very well attended. The largest attendance at a meeting was 110. The annual Wassail party, under the supervision of the President, Mr. Everett Boise, and his assistants, Miss Bertha Cain and Miss Ruth Fielden was very festive. For the Friends it closed a success- ful and happy 1971. In 1972, by adding 61Z hours, the Library will be open 21k hours each week. A person will be employed to take charge of selecting, purchasing and cataloging records. These are two new services which we hope will meet with success.

THERE IS A CONSTANT RETRAINING FOR AS- SESSORS AND ASSESSOR CLERKS GOING ON WITH SEMI- NARS BEING ATTENDED BY OUR PERSONNEL. PLANS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE BUREAU OF CORPORATIONS AND TAXATION FIELD FORCE AND PRIVATE COMPANIES TO PRODUCE AN EQUALIZATION PROGRAM FOR THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH. 135 ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT Town of Yarmouth for the Year Ending, December 31, 1971 ANNUAL REPORT It is a pleasure to submit my first Annual Report to the Dennis, Yarmouth and Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committees. The first six months of my Superintendency have been spent in an extensive evaluation of the school system. My observations have been made and recommendations for future direction will be forthcoming in the immediate future. At this time we have 4,546 students enrolled in our three Dis- tricts. Dennis has 1,012, Yarmouth 2,230, and Dennis -Yarmouth 1,304. Our future projection shows an increasing enrollment trend and the need for new construction in each District. Dennis, with a K through 5 enrollment of 650 is faced with overcrowded con- ditions at the Ezra Baker School. That school has an ideal student capacity of 550. Our projections indicate we will have 1,200 en- rolled in K through 5 by 1980. The need for a new school is ob- vious. In Yarmouth we are bulging at the seams. It will be neces- sary to rent space next year to house our elementary overflow. I recommend that a new elementary school be constructed as soon as possible. The Regional High School was built to accommodate 1,100 pupils. In the Fall of 1972 we expect an enrollment of 1,500. Our needs there are also obvious and we are now in the process of preparing a report for the Committee. Our planning emphasis is on student, teacher, and community involvement. Our appointed Task Force represents all of these groups and it will be responsible for conducting a study that will incorporate the combined thinking of all groups. This committee will make a full investigation of all alternatives to construction and report to the School Committee in mid-April. Our Adult Education Program will be expanded next year. It is our goal to make our schools available to the community. Schools should be operated all evening as well as all day for the improvement and benefit of all residents. The curriculum, at all levels, is in the process of a thorough evaluation. This evaluation report will be made available to the 136 public in July. It is our desire to involve students, teachers and community in the evaluation as well as in the development of our curriculum. Because of our rapid population growth, we are faced with continued budget increases. These, however, are necessary to keep pace. We are trying to keep cost within the limits of our tax -paying ability and, at the same time, provide a quality learning experience for all of our children. In general, my evaluation of the system results in a positive outlook for the future. The Committees are to be commended for their dedication and sincerity in attempting to provide good schools. The result of their work is obvious. I hope we can continue the same positive strides in the years ahead. In closing, I would like to extend my compliments to former Superintendent, Alfred Kenyon, for his dedicated service to the children of these communities during these past twenty-seven years. His contribution to education has indeed been great. John A. Murphy, Superintendent of Schools REPORT OF THE BUSINESS MANAGER The 1971 school year saw a very significant increase in our heating cost as compared to 1970, $29,474.06 vice $17,573.62. This increase was due in the main to an appreciable increase in cost of heavy No. 5 and No. 6 oils used in South Yarmouth, West Yar- mouth and Mattacheese. This increase was due in part to the change over from 2.2% sulphur content oil to 1.0%. In a related item, discussions are underway with the Select- men to include the fuel oil requirements of the remaining town buildings in the School Department contract to take advantage of the increased leverage of combined buying. Last year's Town Meeting approved the modernization of the heating control system of the John Simpkins School. This work converted the auditorium from an unuseable space on a cold day to a most satisfactory Kindergarten. During the last session of the Legislature, Chapter 53, Acts of 1971 was passed and signed into law. This law permits the Town to participate in collective purchasing with other political 137 subdivisions of the state, in thirty (30) contracts that have been negotiated by the state. These cover areas that are of interest to the schools and are being pursued ie: Office furniture and machines, Office supplie§ etc., paper products and supplies etc. It is antici- pated that this law will lead to significant savings. •During the past year, the cooperation extended to me by all of the departments of the town has been outstanding. Respectfully, George Flanagan Business Manager Yarmouth School Dept.

We have added six (6) teachers and replaced nine (9) . We have enlarged our Language Development Program by adding a Third Grade teacher this year. We hope to add a Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade teacher to the program next year. This program has been very successful in identifying learning disabili- ties at an early stage and dealing with them so that these partic- ular children make a good adjustment to school. 148 There are also plans next year to add a transitional First Grade. There is a group of Kindergarten children who have difficulties moving directly into First Grade. We hope to help this group by changing their program so that they will make a better adjust- ment. We now have our own Music and Physical Education teach- ers in South Yarmouth. The children receive about one (1) hour of Art, Music and Physical Education a week. We held an Open House on November 16 in the South Yar- mouth Elementary School and on November 18 in the John Simp- kins Building. Again this year we asked the parents to follow the children's program for one day at ten (10) minute periods. The teachers and parents enjoyed the program. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills was given to the Third and Fifth grades in March. Every Fourth Grade in the State was given an Intelligence and Achievement Test in February. The Otis -Lennon Intelligence Test was given to the First, Third and Fifth grades. Mrs. Viola Garton, Cafeteria Manager in the John Simpkins Building, retired on December 31, 1971 after twenty-two years of dedicated work to the students and the school. All of our work would not be done without the help and assistance of a great many people. I would like to thank the teaching staff, the secretarial, cafe- teria and custodial staffs of the South Yarmouth Elementary and John Simpkins buildings for making this a successful year for the children of Yarmouth.

The following teach- ers joined our staff in September: TEACHER Mrs. Norma Avellar Miss Bonnie Debreczeni Mrs. Sharyn Durham Miss Joyce Fetro Miss Linda Grice Mr. Francis Hufnagel Mr. William Jacques Mr. Wilbur Johnson Mrs. Marion Koempel Miss Anne Marcotte Mr. Anthony Paige Mr. Norman Powers Mr. Robert Small Mr. Edward Sheridan Miss Sylvia McMeen Mrs. Jayne Cash GRADE 6,7,8 7,8 6,7,8 6,7,8 7,8 7,8 6,7,8 7,8 (T.Aide) 6 7,8 6,7,8 6 7,8 6 SUBJECT Reading English Art Phys. Ed. French Shop Vocal Music Science Music Home Ec. Foods Phys. Ed. Science Reading Science Guidance Nurse On December 22, 1971 we had the following enrollment: GRADE BOYS GIRLS TOTAL 6 128 119 247 7 129 131 260 8 124 118 242 The Industrial Science Department of the Mattacheese Middle School consists of two teaching areas ; being, woodworking and industrial design. Each pupil is scheduled to spend an equal amount of time in each area during the seventh and eighth grades. The boys in the woodworking shop are taught and experience layout, cutting processes, assembling techniques, finishing, and also are instructed in the proper use and care of hand tools and certain basic machines. Safety in the shop and learning to work together are foremost in the area. The Industrial Design area teaches the students the construction of various shapes and proj- ects on paper through the use of mechanical drawing equipment. Instruction and class discussions relate proper drawing techniques, 153 reproduction processes, and principles of basic design. It is the desire of the Industrial Science Department that when a student graduates from our school he has a basic knowledge of the mate- rials, tools, processes, and techniques of industry, and has an ap- preciation for the industrial society in which he lives. As part of a school wide assessment of pupil needs, the Dur- rell Listening -Reading Tests were administered to all pupils in grades six, seven, and eight to identify pupils with a reading dis- ability as indicated by the degree of retardation in reading as com- pared to listening. A diagnostic spelling test was given to all sixth grade students to identify those pupils who show some degree of a specific language disability in spelling, sequencing, and/or hand- writing. A program has been filed with the state which prepares us to receive fifty per cent reimbursement for all services for chil- dren identified as having a perceptual handicap. In addition to the reading supervisor, two teachers from the Mattacheese Middle School have met the state standards to teach perceptually handi- capped children for the 1971-72 academic year. Provisions have been made for the instruction of severely handicapped students. To facilitate the present program for perceptually handicapped children at the Mattacheese Middle School, the services of a school psychometrist for the purpose of administering and interpreting psycho -educational tests is needed. Conferences with individual teachers concerning provisions for correction within the regular classroom for the less seriously handicapped children have been arranged. This year the Mattacheese Middle School has tried a new diagnostic form for grading in reading. I am pleased to report that several teachers from the Mattacheese Middle School have taken advantage of the Boston University extension course held at the Mattacheese Middle School on Monday afternoons on "Up- grading the Reading Curriculum." This year approximately 236 students in tracks one and two - grades seven and eight are taking French. At the beginning of the second term a second teacher, Miss Linda Grice, was added to the staff. Classes were then able to be split to no more than fifteen pupils to a group. This is the recommended number for foreign language study. Small groups of ten to fifteen enable pupils to - speak frequently during each class period. This is the ideal situa- tion. Fluency is better attained with fewer pupils in each group. In 1969 a new text was introduced by Dale and Dale with accom- panying tapes and transparencies for each lesson. This series has proven to be quite successful. The majority of students having had two years of French entered French II at the high school in Sep- tember. In addition to French, Spanish will be offered to grade seven pupils in September 1972. 154 The Instrumental Music program consists of class instruction and ensemble groups for beginning and advanced students. The goals we are striving toward include notation and rhythmic read- ing as well as the development of musical interpretation. We have approximately one hundred seventy-five students studying band in- struments, eighty of whom participate in performing ensembles. The advanced ensembles meet four times per week within the school day for rehearsals. The beginning ensemble meets one afternoon after school for supplementary instruction on their in- struments and for the purpose of developing the ability to play together. All students receive one period per week of class in- struction, grouped heterogeneously. Our 1970-1971 year proved to be a very interesting one for our stringed instrument group. They had the pleasure of playing with the vocal chorus. Both students and audience enjoyed this equally. All of this helps the student develop musically to the full- est extent of his ability ; to discriminate between the good and poor music, and to improve his appreciation and knowledge. This year we have broadened noticeably as a stringed instrument group. Three celli and a stringed bass have started. These will be a wel- come addition as soon as they progress far enough. Hopefully, we can keep all pupils interested in the sixth through eighth grades, the stringed instruments drop-out years. At these ages outside diversions become more numerous - homework more time con- suming. Also, the student realizes that "strings" are the hardest to master - even passably. But for those who "stick", the lesson of perseverance and attention to detail, plus the pleasure of work- ing together make it all very worthwhile. An extensive choral program is offered at the Mattacheese Middle School consisting of 6th Grade Chorus with 80 students participating and a 7th/8th Grade Advanced Chorus with 150 students participating. Students rehearse and perform a varied repertoire of music representing all periods of music. Choral prac- tices are programmed into the students' daily schedule providing one period a week for 6th grade chorus and three periods a week for 7th/8th grade chorus. After school rehearsals provide oppor- tunities for individual vocal instruction, small ensembles and com- bined chorus rehearsals. "In -school" performances have included invitationals to other schools in the district, the annual Christmas assembly and a newly inaugurated public Christmas performance with band and drama clubs, culminating in the annual "Festival of the Arts" held each Spring. The General Music course is re- quired for all students at the Mattacheese Middle School in grades 6, 7, and 8 with classes meeting once a week for a full year. The main objective of this course is to help and encourage the pupil 155 to sense esthetic values in music and develop a lasting appreciation and enjoyment of good music. Students are introduced to the basic materials of music - melody, rhythm, harmony, and form - be- ginning in the sixth grade through varied experiences in listening and classroom singing. As the students advance to the 7th and 8th grades, music is related to its historical and social setting. An outgrowth of this study is an increasing awareness of musical style. There are also correlations made with the visual arts. A special class was initiated for the disadvantaged child at the Mattacheese Middle School for the school year 1970-1971. For being its first year, it went quite smoothly with few difficulties. The following procedure was used in placement of a child into this class: referrals, test scores, notification of parents and their opinions, testing by a state psychologist, and a final decision made. A total of nine were enrolled for the year 1970-1971. Presently, three boys and two girls, a mixture of Educables and Trainables, make up the class. These children are able to progress at their own learning rates in the basics of subject matter. Audio -Visual materials are used. The students are integrated into the school at- mosphere as much as possible, whereby the boys take part in shop classes and the girls in home economics, with both groups also participating in gym classes. They do join school clubs and activi- ties whenever feasible. Our children have been very fortunate in being able to take swimming lessons on Thursdays from 10:30- 11:00 am through the cooperation of the Cape Cod Association for the Retarded, who provide qualified instructors and aides. They are giving their time and efforts so that the children may be on a one to one basis. During the period September 1970 through June 1971, 33 tests and evaluations of students were made ; these had been referred by teachers and parents. Of this number, 23 cases were enrolled in the speech program. During the school year, 3 more were added, one case moved away ; 17 cases were corrected, and 8 were con- tinued to September 1971. Fifteen conferences were held with parents of students. Since the start of the school year 1971-72, a total of 63 pupils have been screened and evaluated ; of these, 19 need speech therapy and are currently receiving attention. Since the opening of school this year, I feel that the library - media center at the Mattacheese Middle School has made increased strides toward nearing its goal of a true media center. The follow- ing represents the present status of our library -media center's hold- ings of instructional material: 156 Media Dec. 1970 Dec. 1971 Increase Books 3144 4107 963 Magazines 22 60 38 Filmstrips 550 991 441 Tape Recordings 57 298 241 Transparencies 610 729 119 The equipment that has been purchased since this school opened remains constant and we should not expect to replace any within the next five years. The basic library program allows for formal instruction for grade six in library science. Grades seven and eight receive less formal instruction in library science, but do receive guidance in the retrieval of research tools and reference materials. All students are able to use the facilities of the Instructional Mate- rials Center whenever a pass is issued by the classroom teacher. They may come to the center to browse, research, study, read magazines, listen to tapes and records, and enjoy the latest addi- tion of viewing 2x2 slides of varied school activities that have been carried on since the opening of school. For example, we have slides of the visits of rock groups, the halloween parties, and es- pecially the most successful field day which was held last spring. The addition of the Wollensak teach -a -tape program of individual- ized instruction via wireless headphones has allowed for improve- ment in the subjects of science, math, and some social studies areas. It is hoped that we will add to the holding of this very worth- while educational material in the future. One of the many impor- tant functions of any library -media program is to provide services in the preparation of instructional materials for improved class- room communications on the local level. Ideally, this operation should be provided in the same area where other required instruc- tional media is located. Since this space is not available at the library center, we have uniquely established such a function in the media lab located in the Industrial Arts wing. Not only does the physical arrangement of this room lend itself ideally to the pro- duction of instructional materials for the teacher use but also, and more importantly, allows for the creation of educational materials by the students themselves. The importance of such a program provides motivation for learning experiences. As we look forward to another exciting and challenging year for the library -media pro- gram we are in hope of developing the following services for the improvement of education in the Yarmouth schools: In-service course in the preparation and utilization of instruc- tional materials for improved classroom communications. Initiation of a professional library which will provide for edu- cational teacher growth through an awareness of current trends in education. 157 Classroom reception of Educational Television through the use of cablevision and closed -circuit -video tape orientation. Establishment of most needed library film to allow for a more efficient utilization of instructional films. As we continue to grow, professional and clerical staff will be need- ed to meet the educational demands of the library -media program. The general purpose of the math program at the Mattacheese Middle School is set forth by five sets of objectives: (1) The ob- jectives of greater emphasis placed on teaching of the structure and principles underlying the basic mathematical processes (2) The objectives of increasing knowledge of terms and symbols ; of graphs, fundamental facts ; tables ; of simple geometric terms and figures ; and of common measures (3) The objectives of perform- ing with reasonable speed and accuracy written and mental com- putations (4) The objectives of appraising correctness of acquired results, and (5) The objectives of confidence in the students' abili- ty to reason independently, and awareness and importance of math- ematics in life. The Mathematics Department held the first mathe- matics contest in the Yarmouth system. The contest was a tremen- dous success with many prizes awarded and the most treasured, "the grand prize", a silver trophy won by a seventh grader named Peter Goerge. He had posted a time of one minute twenty-seven seconds. This contest had the distinction of appearing in the Kal- eidoscope Magazine published by the Massachusetts Department of Education. A system of self -teaching with cassettes, filmstrips, film loops, a calculator program, and tutor program is also meeting with a great deal of success. Diagnostic Tests developed by the Yarmouth Mathematics Department were given to all students in October. Similar tests will be given in May to evaluate and deter- mine advancement by each student during the year. The Home Economics Foods Department meets with 110 girls per week. A Chef's Club was initiated this year, open to boys from grades 6, 7, 8. Meeting every week on Tuesday after school from 2:15 to 4:00 pm, the boys are experiencing methods of food prep- aration, nutrition, entertaining, and self-discipline. The girls in the Clothing Department enjoy the wide range of selections in con- structing garments to meet basic requirements. Health of the school age child is primarily the responsibility of the family, however, the school assists with various health ser- vices. Each year all students are screened for hearing or vision problems, and measured for growth. All seventh graders are ex- amined by Dr. Howes, also sixth and eighth grade boys who expect to participate in sports. Treatment is limited to first aid, and in the case of illness the family is notified and expected to provide 158 transportation. This year all students were insured for accidents during the school day. Due to increase of personnel, nursing ser- vices were increased in the areas of health teaching, consultation, home visits,- and individual advice and information. In December the Lions Club of Yarmouth presented the school with a new eye testing machine. This will enable us to check students more rapidly and efficiently. The addition of the Graphics Department has greatly expand- ed the scope of our activities. With the new materials and equip- ment, our program has become increasingly more flexible. Stu- dents are engaged in many new and exciting projects in printing, copying, reproduction, and finishing, which was impossible just a short year ago. Moreover, balance in the curriculum has been more than maintained with addition of Mrs. Durham to the staff. Mrs. Durham has proven to be a highly capable and knowledg- able teacher. The program has been established in a manner to allow each student exposure in the maximum areas within the limits of time and his own ability. Each has the opportunity to meet with, and work under the supervision of Mrs. Durham and Mr. Lynch. Mrs. Durham's program stresses the creative ability of the individual, and allows for self-expression in a wide variety of media. It is here the student gets a grounding in the dimensions of sight and touch. The plastic aspects of Art introduced, and the student is allowed to probe the areas of line, color, texture, and material. Many projects have evolved from student investigation into these areas, and a high degree of creativity and interest on the part of the student has resulted. The basic concepts of Art are also being stressed. In both areas, line, color, perspective, bal- ance, and proper use of materials, are introduced and their care is stressed. In the coming months new techniques involving the use of airbrush, ceramics, casting, engraving, and seriographs are plan- ned in addition to the regular course in drawing. In October of 1968 the School Committee approved plans to adopt the Intermediate Science Curriculum Study (ISCS) as the basis of the science curriculum for grades seven and eight. The program was to be implemented over a three year period beginning with the 1969-1970 school year. Implementation proceeded as scheduled and as of this year all seventh and eighth grade science classes are participating in ISCS. The program uses a problem centered and activities oriented approach to individualized science instruction. Students work at their own rate, spending more time in areas requiring remedial help and branching out into additional investigations of an enrichment nature under the guidance and discretion of the teacher. The reaction of the students to this in- novative type of learning experience has been predominately fa - 159 vorable, although some have difficulty in adjusting to working on their own without being told what to do by the teacher each day. The science faculty, with some initial apprehension, now unanimously endorses the program. Standardized tests are now be- ing developed to evaluate the academic success of the program in comparison to the traditional approach of the past. Many educat- ors from surrounding communities have visited the science classes and have shown great favor for this program. With the addition of two more staff members, the Physical Education Program at the Mattacheese Middle School has doubled in both size and effectiveness. Student physical education classes have expanded from two periods to four periods per week. In the daily instructional programs, primary emphasis is on the acquisition of basic fundamentals of various team sports and individual ac- tivities. The boys are taught the basic skills of soccer, flag foot- ball, basketball, volleyball, softball, gymnastics, track and field, folk dance, tennis, and archery. Coed square dancing and coed volleyball have been added to the program. Both the boys and girls are involved in the individual physical fitness testing in the fall and in the spring. The athletic program, with both an inter- scholastic and intramural concept, compliments the daily instruc- tional program. This year gymnastics was added to the boys and girls winter intramural program with a gymnastics show planned for March. In addition, the boys program offers soccer, football, basketball, baseball, and track and field. The girls program in- cludes soccer, field hockey, basketball, softball, and track and field. An Olympic Field which involves the entire student body will again be held this spring. It is hoped that throughout both the in- structional and athletic programs, the students will develop not only basic movement and coordination, but also the proper atti- tudes of good sportsmanship, social conduct, and self-discipline. Guidance activities have been centered on individual pupil counselling. There have been a total of 590 individual conferences concerning educational, personal, social, and occupational areas. The area of special testing has been strengthened greatly in all of the grades K-8. Dr. Zuwallach of Bridgewater State College has been instrumental in moving this program ahead. The Iowa Tests of Basic Skills were administered. An explanation of the results have been forwarded to the parents. The Otis -Lennon Ability Test was administered for grade 7. A visitation day for pupils entering the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School from the Mattacheese Middle School was held on June 8, 1971. An orientation day for pupils entering the Mattacheese Middle School from the John Simpkins School was held on June 17, 1971. For grade 8, group and individual conferences were held prior to the choosing of 160 courses for the high school. Mrs. O'Donnell of the High School Guidance Department provided an assembly question and answer period to help in this program. Guidance personnel were involved in the following: visits to the Cape Cod Mental Health Associa- tion, the Gaebler Childrens Unit at the Metropolitan State Hospital in Waltham, the State Department of Health's Clinic on Venereal Diseases, the Barnstable Vocational School Open House, a two day workshop on drugs at Bentley College in Waltham, sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Education and the Massachu- setts Teachers Association; the Massachusetts Personnel and Guid- ance Associations' institutes on Family Counselling at Mt. Ida Junior College in Newton ; and the overnight trip taken by grade 8 of the Mattacheese Middle School to visit museums, large pro- duction plants, the Babson Institute, and other special points of interest in the greater Boston and Worcester areas. The Guidance Department in cooperation with the Audio -Visual Office now have available 57 tapes covering the fields of health, occupations, person- al -social attributes, and drug education. In closing I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Ken- yon, Mr. Bearse, Mr. Flanagan, the School Committee, teaching staff, and all other school personnel for their cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Francis J. M. Duncan Principal REPORT OF THE ADULT EDUCATION DIRECTOR James R. Davis Dear Dr. Murphy, It is with pleasure that I submit my fourth report as Director of the Evening Adult Education Program for the Town of Yar- mouth. Registration was held at the Mattacheese Middle School on September 15, 1971 form 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This year the total registration was an overwhelming 1,019. This figure constitutes a fifty percent increase over last year 's registration figure. • 161 The courses offered for the follows: MONDAY Adv. Oils—L. Tregre Adv. Sewing—E. Murley Basic Drawing—P.

Kenney I have mentioned in my previous reports that there is an ever increasing response by the citizens of Yarmouth to participate in one or more of the courses offered by the Adult Program. It is gratifying to the instructors and to me as well to see this interest shown by the community. The majority of the courses offered have proven to be so pop- ular that it is necessary to maintain a waiting list. It is with regret that we are unable to accommodate all who wish to take a course ; however, it is the policy of the program to inform those on the wait- ing list when a vacancy occurs. Due to the large enrollment and through the courtesy of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee some of the evening courses were conducted at the high school. By extending to us the opportunity to use the facilities at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional we were able to accommodate a greater number of interested citizens. 162 The exhibit at the close of the 1970-1971 Adult Program was held in both the large and small dining rooms of the Mattacheese Middle School.- It was the largest exhibit we have had the privilege of displaying. There is a need to expand this program and in so doing we intend to continue to offer to the adults of Yarmouth a most satis- fying return for their school tax investment. I wish to invite those adults who have not had an opportunity to avail themselves of the program to consider registering in one or more of the many courses that will be offered next September. I would like to express my appreciation to the members of the Adult teaching staff, secretaries, and evening custodians for their generous effort and interest in making the program what it is. I would also like to thank you, Dr. Murphy, and the members of the School Committee for affording me the opportunity to serve as Director of the program, and I appreciate your support in help- ing me carry out the responsibilities inherent to the position. Respectfully submitted, James R. Davis 163 NAME Francis J. M. Duncan Mrs. Norma Avellar Robert M. Baker Robert H. Baudo Miss Barbara A. Bauer Irwin Bierhans Miss Margaret M.

We hope that in the process of helping children to learn, we may help them to find and keep the "wonder and excitement" of discovering the world we live in. We are attempting this in many ways ; grouping by like needs and interests ; one-to-one tutoring wherever feasible ; opportunity for choice in individualized activities ; learning materials which lead the child to advance at his own speed ; more personal reports to parents ; a happy, child -oriented atmosphere throughout the school. In line with these aims were our plans for the introduction of the open -classroom concept for the kindergarten. Our two ses- sions of kindergarten moved, this year, to the large group instruc- tion area. Here a program has been developed which, while still partially structured, gives each child an opportunity to move to various interests centers, to experiment and create in line with his own interests and for all children to group or regroup from day to day or from one subject to another. The enthusiasm and co- operation of the kindergarten teachers and aides has been the mov- ing force behind a very successful experiment. The science program, under the direction of Mr. Donald El- dredge, is involving more pupil participation, more experimenting and discovering. The SCIS program which was initiated in grade one last year on a trial basis, met with such success that it was decided to extend the program to all classes of grade one and two for the 1971-72 school year. This program involves the children directly in devising and performing experiments. Planning, ob- servation and record keeping lead pupils to recognize cause and effect relationships and to establish proper problem solving tech- niques. Textbooks are used mainly as a reference and all classes involve active participation. We expect to extend this program to grades three and four for the next school year. Mr. Louis Drake, math coordinator, has, with the teachers' assistance, planned a program which involves many types of learn- ing experiences. In all approaches an emphasis is placed on making the mathematics program meaningful 'and personal to each child. 167 A program in the fourth grade, developed by Mr. Drake and Mr. George Palmer, gives each pupil an opportunity to progress at his own rate. The physical education program at West Yarmouth Elemen- tary School has increased its staff to two full time teachers and has consequently widened the scope of activities included in the program. All pupils now have classes in physical education twice each week with extra help provided once a week for those with perceptual or coordination problems. Miss Mari Hall and Mr. Daniel Campbell deserve much credit for the time, effort and en- thusiasm that has added new and exciting experiences to our physical education program. Miss Hall's work in creative dance opened a new field to girls of grades three and four, developing creative skills as well as those involved in movement and coordina- tion. Credit for a course concerned with human values and health, appropriately known as the "Life Course", goes to Miss Hall and to our school nurse, Mrs. Jayne Cash. This course involves all pupils in the fourth grade and has as its aim the hope that each child will grow in self knowledge in physical, mental and emotion- al aspects. Art classes taught by Mrs. Charlotte Besse continue to offer opportunity for growth in skills and creativity and in self expres- sion. This last is particularly important for those children who find difficulty in verbal or written expression. The "School, in the Round" exhibit arranged by Mrs. Besse last spring, gave parents and friends an opportunity to see the results of the art classes. Mrs. Ruth Nickerson, speech therapist, gives to her work an understanding and warmth which make her pupils consider these classes the high point of the week. Mrs. Nickerson has screened 180 children this year of whom 52 were found in the need of speech therapy. At present 41 pupils are enrolled in active speech therapy program and 11 are on the waiting list. With Miss Kalliope Garoufes as coordinator, the teachers of language arts (reading, English and spelling) have been endeavor- ing to group pupils so that individual needs and individual skills may be emphasized. Various approaches to the teaching of read- ing are adjusted to the varying needs of the pupils, either individu- ally or in groups. As part of a school wide assessment of pupil needs, the Durrell Listening -Reading Tests were administered to all pupils in grades two, three and four to identify those with a reading disability. A diagnostic spelling test, given to all second, third and fourth grade pupils identified those pupils who show some degree of a specific language disability in spelling, sequencing 168 or penmanship. The Boehm Test of Basic Concepts and the Frostig Test of Visual Perception were administered to all kindergarten pupils as a part of this assessment of pupil needs. We are trying to meet these varying needs in several different ways. In the first grade, we are continuing with the transitional group which was introduced last year. Children of this grade are also receiving individual tutoring supplied by Miss Margaret Tait. Miss Tait, who retired from the Newton schools last June, has volunteered her time to work with our first grade pupils. Her assistance is of great value and is greatly appreciated. Grade two pupils are grouped so that those requiring addi- tional help may receive such help from a teacher, either individ- ually or in small groups. In addition, Mrs. Constance Cross is working with a small class of second grade pupils whose acheive- ment has not reached the level of their potential ability. Pupils of grades three and four are also placed in groups where those children who require particular help may receive it from the teach- er. We plan, in January, to add to our staff a teacher trained in teaching perceptually handicapped pupils. Our library and audio-visual center, with Mr. John Meehan as library media director, is constantly expanding and is nearing its goal as a true media center. One very valuable addition has been the Wollensak teach -a -tape program used in conjunction with the wireless headphone. Mrs. Lorraine Loughlin, our library aide, deserves many thanks for her talented and devoted work. She has encouraged participation by the staff and provided the services necessary for a coordinated classroom -library learning experience. We are also grateful to the class in children's literature from D -Y High School who, as part of their class work, came to our library for story hours during the fall term of school. Our music department with Mr. Richard LaPorte as band in- structor and Mr. Frank Cornwell as instructor for stringed in- struments, offer pupils of grade four a sound and exciting base for future musical experiences. Mrs. Marion Koempel, our vocal mu- sic teacher, works in all grades, kindergarten through grade four and with a fourth grade chorus which meets every Friday. Mrs. Koempel brings enthusiasm and a rich musical background to her work. As well as having an opportunity to elect a musical activity, pupils of grade four have a choice of three other clubs for the Friday afternoon activity period. An art club with Mrs. Besse as 169 leader, a photography club under Miss Marie Malo's guidance and a chess and checker club with Miss Cynthia Baker as leader are also offered. A welcome innovation this year is the addition of several vol- unteer aides whose services are of great help in individualizing our pupils' learning experiences. We are very grateful to Miss Margart Tait, Mrs. Richard Philbrook, Miss Elizabeth Sherman and Mrs. Martha Gartrell who each week give time to tutor individual pupils or to work, under a teacher 's direction, with small groups. The following members of our staff joined us when school opened in September: Mrs. Susan (Murphy) Ferguson - Grade 1 Mrs. Florence (Piech) Parker - Grade 2 Miss Karin Anderson - Grade 3 Mr. Ralph Connor - Grade 3 Miss Mari Hall - physical education Mrs. Jayne Cash - replacing Mrs. Chapman as school nurse. As I look over last year's report, it seems that those needs which were emphasized for our school are being met. We have, however, filled every nook and cranny of our building. It is vitally important that plans for increased school space be made definite as soon as possible. With the expected increase in enrollment for the next school year we will be decidedly overcrowded. This year our building is filled to capacity but everyone on the staff is working as a team to make the best adjustments pos- sible. We may find a band group in the cafeteria, a creative dance group in the corridor, speech classes in the teachers' lounge, teachers without a classroom who must move as rooms are vacated. However, everyone is cooperating, all pupils are participating in all activities and we are still able to keep classes at a reasonable size. This would be impossible if it were not for the fine spirit shown by all members of the school personnel and the eager and cooperative attitude of the children. May I, at this time, thank you, Dr. Murphy, for your en- couragement and the inspiration which your own vigor and en- thusiasm bring to our schools ? 170 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE -SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF THE CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT During its first full year of operation, the School Committee charged with the development of the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School has moved the project ahead in a number of important ways. Of these, perhaps the most significant was the final deter- mination of a site on which to build the new school. Following this decision, made in the early fall, the Committee's legal counsel set in motion the legal proceedings through which the several par- cels making up the 64 -acre tract will be acquired for educational purposes. The Committee was very pleased that conditions made it possible to obtain a site at the spot that had earlier been identified as the center of population of the newly formed school district. Before this or any other site could be purchased, it was neces- sary for the School Committee to secure the approval of the voters of the District to borrow funds for this purpose. Voter approval to borrow $424,000 for land acquisition and other uses was given in a special election held on May 20. This was a so-called Clause (n) election wherein the decision is made by a majority of the vot- ers in the District as a whole rather than town by town. The affirmative action of the voters on May 20 also permitted the borrowing of funds to cover initial architectural fees. It thus became possible to sign a contract with the firm of Drummey, Ros- ane, and Anderson, who now are working on preliminary sketches of the new school complex. The past year also saw a change in the educational leadership of the District. The School Committee undertook a nationwide search for a new superintendent -director, which culminated with the appointment of Robert A. Campbell to the post. Campbell, who left a professorship in vocational education at the University of Illinois to move to Cape Cod, took up his duties on September 1. With these fundamental steps taken, the Committee was freed to devote a large part of its energies to designing an educational program that not only will serve the needs of our young people and of other adults when the school opens, but will also have the flexibility that will permit it to change as times change. To speed the planning process and to obtain the advice of other experienced vocational educators, the School Committee employed the firm of 171 Educational Consultants Council, Inc. to assist it in developing ed- ucational specifications to guide the architect in designing housing and other facilities for the program. The School Committee from the very beginning has been de- termined to keep the school close to the people who support it and who are to be served by it. One consequence of this determination has been the new superintendent's efforts to meet and consult with teachers, administrators, and students in the general school systems the Technical High School is related to. The Committee is also pleased to note the contacts he is making with various citizens groups throughout the District, and the Committee hopes that civic and other organizations in the eleven towns will feel free to call on him. We anticipate that the Advisory Boards, which are now being set up and shortly will be activated, will be especially helpful in bringing a wide range of community knowledge and experience to bear on the design and conduct of vocational education here on the Outer Cape. Each of the major vocational areas in the school's curriculum will have its own board of advisors made up of men and women who are experts in that particular occupational field. These advisory groups will not only assist with the planning of the cur- riculum in the course of the next few months but will also continue on as consultants to the school's faculty and the School Committee. We speak for all 22 members of the School Committee when we say that serving on the Committee has been a challenging and rewarding experience. We shall continue to do our best to be wor- thy of the confidence placed in us by appointment to this important civic post. Your Yarmouth Representatives, Joel M. Wolfson Oscar W.

With a relatively mild winter and a dry summer our facilities were used to a greater extent than ever before. As a result our income for the year again substantially increased. Please see the following com- parison figures: TOTAL INCOME RETURN TO CART LEASING AGENCY 1971 $177,253.00 $12,970.00 1970 154,819.00 10,338.00 1969 152,002.00 9,226.00 1968 121,106.00 5,838.00 While the four month dry spell during the summer was enjoyed by our golfers a resulting water shortage posed many difficult late summer problems relating to course maintenance. We expect to prevent the recurrence of this problem by constructing a gravel packed well during 1972. We propose to continue our program of improvements to the course in order that the Town of Yarmouth may year after year point with pride to the Bass River Golf Course as a major recrea- tional attraction used and appreciated by our own towns people and the guests that are so important to our Cape Cod economy. With a record 710 members in 1971 we are happy to report very few difficulties in our "family". The smoothness of our day to day operation speaks well for the understanding and coopera- tion between our employees, our members and our day guests. The Commissioners would like to express their appreciation to all con- cerned for their pride in a job well done. Marjorie E. Gaudet Claire S. Garnaus Eleanor E. Garbitt Gerald A.

SEAL TOWN OF YARMOUTH BOARD OF SELECTMEN Henry R. Darling Howard W. Marchant Charles W. Eager A true copy, Attest: Haydn Mason, Constable 239 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DENNIS - YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1971 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE REPORT At the Annual Meeting of the District in April, 1971, the following officers were elected: Richard L. Whipple, Chairman Dean B. Yount, Vice Chairman Harold L. Hayes, Jr., Secretary -Treasurer The Committee acknowledges with appreciation Alfred Kelley's dedicated work as Chairman for the three prior years. Mr. Kelley is a charter member of the District Committee, having also been selected as a member of the Planning Committee before the District's inception. Mrs. Gail Bickford was appointed as Dennis representative to the District Committee, with Laurence F. Ellis again representing Yarmouth. As previously reported, following the resignation of Alfred R. Ken- yon as Superintendent, the Committee engaged Educational Consult- ants, Inc., to assist in the search for a new Superintendent. Mr. Kenyon had been the chief administrative officer of the District from the time of the school's opening in 1957, and had acted in an advisory capacity during the formative stage of the District. In June, the townspeople of Dennis and Yarmouth, as well as others in the Cape area, joined in a testimonial gathering to pay tribute to Mr. Kenyon's twenty-five years of service to our communities. Through the painstaking efforts of Francis V. Lloyd, Jr., and Dana Cotton - representatives of Educational Consultants, Inc. - five candi- dates were chosen from about one hundred fifty applicants, for considera- tion by the Regional School Committee, members of the Union Com- mittee, and several members of the faculty. In April, John A. Murphy, Jr., was appointed Superintendent of the District and Union #11, ef- fective July 1, 1971. Dr. Murphy was selected on the basis of educational background, experience, personal characteristics, professional compe- tence, and working relationships - the criteria established by Education- al Consultants, Inc., for screening of candidates. The experience which he brings to this Superintendency, namely: English Instructor, Guid- ance Counselor, Acting Principal, Associate Registrar—Holy Cross Col- lege, Graduate Intern—University of Massachusetts, and Superintendent —Milford, New Hampshire, and Collier County, Florida, makes him em- inently qualified for his position of leadership with us. It was with extreme regret that the Committee accepted the resigna- tion of Mrs. Marguerite Garland, librarian since the school's beginning, at the close of the 1970-1971 school year. Mrs. Harriet Burkhard was 2 appointed to fill this vacancy. We have welcomed many new faculty members, some of whom are replacement teachers; others, additional appointments. The Guidence Department has been increased by a new Counselor, Miss Dolores Didonna. Early in November, after detailed study of existing plans and care- ful review with the Planning Specialists, Dr. Murphy made the following recommendations to the Committee: 1. That present plans be halted, pending a thorough review of the educational program. 2. That a District -wide effort be made to update the secondary program, with the assistance of students, parents, faculty mem- bers, community people, the School Administration, and the School Committee. 3. That a Task Force be appointed, whose duties shall be: a. The development of a short-range program to handle the over -crowding of the high school, with special emphasis on Sep- tember, 1972. b. The development of a long-range program with appropriate physical facilities. 4. That qualified technical assistance be given this Task Force. It is Dr. Murphy's opinion that, by following this course of action, we will have not only "an outstanding physical plant—at a lower cost— but will house in the plant one of the most exciting secondary schools anywhere." The Committee unanimously approved Dr. Murphy's recom- mendations, and has retained the services of Hill, Miller, Friedlander, and Hollander, Inc., a firm of Educational Consultants and Architects, whose program will be carried out in the following phases: 1. Analysis of existing facilities 2. Analysis of community facilities 3. Seminar interviews 4. Development of a short-range program 5. Development of a long-range program It is the hope of those involved in this program that, with the support of the total community, the much needed -facilities may be expeditiously provided. Our summer school has again proven to be a decided asset to our own students and others visiting in the area. Net receipts from tuition and registration totaled more than $5,600.00, and are included in the District's credit toward the 1972 assessments. Other funds received by the District through reimbursements and earnings from investments will be allocated as a credit to the towns for 3 the purpose of reducing assessments necessary from the taxpayers. All receipts—particularly those of a substantial amount—are kept fully in- vested, with Treasury Bills being sold to cover only immediate expenses. It is significant that the District is unique in voting credits which are applied directly to school tax assessments. Thus, the actual school cost becomes more realistic. As has been our custom, several scholarships were awarded at Com- mencement to deserving students, with the generous financial assistance of kind benefactors. The Committee, in its capacity of Trustee of the Scholarship Fund, finds this a most rewarding aspect of its function. It has been a year of many changes and innovations, and, we feel, great accomplishment. We trust that the goals which have been set will enhance the educational and cultural capabilities of our young citi- zens to the extent that we may say with John Ruskin, "When we build, let us think we build forever." Richard L. Whipple, Chairman Dean B. Yount, Vice Chairman Harold L. Hayes, Jr., Secretary -Treasurer Gail H. Bickford William J. Blanchard, Jr. Laurence F. Ellis Alice C. Hofmann Alfred C. Kelley Barbara P. Wilson ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT It is a pleasure to submit my first Annual Report to the Dennis, Yarmouth and Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committees. The first six months of my Superintendency have been spent in an extensive evaluation of the school system. My observations have been made and recommendations for future direction will be forthcoming in the immediate future. At this time we have 4,546 students enrolled in our three Districts. Dennis has 1,012, Yarmouth 2,230, and Dennis -Yarmouth 1,304. Our future projection shows an increasing enrollment trend and the need for new construction in each District. Dennis, with a K through 5 en- rollment of 650 is faced with overcrowded conditions at the Ezra Baker School. That school has an ideal student capacity of 550. Our projections indicate we will have 1,200 enrolled in K through 5 by 1980. The need 4 for a new school is obvious. In Yarmouth we are bulging at the seams. It will be necessary to rent space next year to house our elementary overflow. I recommend that a new elementary school be constructed as soon as possible. The Regional High School was built to accommodate 1,100 pupils. In the Fall of 1972 we expect an enrollment of 1,500. Our needs there are also obvious and we are now in the process of preparing a report for the Committee. Our planning emphasis is on student, teacher, and community involvement. Our appointed Task Force represents all of these groups and it will be responsible for conducting a study that will incorporate the combined thinking of all groups. This committee will make a full investigation of all alternatives to construction and report to the School Committee in mid-April. Our Adult Education Program will be expanded next year. It is our goal to make our schools available to the community. Schools should be operated all evening as well as all day for the improvement and bene- fit of all residents. The curriculum, at all levels, is in the process of a thorough evalu- ation. This evaluation report will be made available to the public in July. It is our desire to involve students, teachers and community in the evaluation as well as in the development of our curriculum. Because of our rapid population growth, we are faced with con- tinued budget increases. These, however, are necessary to keep pace. We are trying to keep cost within the limits of our tax -paying ability and, at the same time, provide a quality learning experience for all of our children. In general, my evaluation of the system results in a positive outlook for the future. The Committees are to be commended for their dedica- tion and sincerity in attempting to provide good schools. The result of their work is obvious. I hope we can continue the same positive strides in the years ahead. In closing, I would like to extend my compliments to former Super- intendent, Alfred Kenyon, for his dedicated service to the children of these communities during these past twenty-seven years. His contribu- tion to education has indeed been great. John A. Murphy, Superintendent of Schools 5 SCHOOL OFFICERS SCHOOL COMMITTEE Richard L. Whipple, Chairman Bass River Dean B.

Murphy Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Dr. Murphy: The Dennis -Yarmouth High School report for the period from Jan- uary 1, 1971 through December 31, 1971 is submitted to you, once again incorporating the various department reports along with that of the High School Principal. As anticipated, due to continued pupil growth and limited physical facilities, problems of class size and teacher locations were present. It was impossible to hire additional teachers to reduce class size as teach- ing stations were not available. A new office was made for Mr. Liberty, assistant principal, by finishing off a coat room next to the teachers' room. Our boat shop was divided to make an additional teaching station for mechanical drawing. The cafeteria, auditorium and auditorium stage were used as classrooms. It must be reported, however, that exceptional student and faculty cooperation caused our program to continue at its high level educationally. Continued effort to improve the offerings to our students has been exerted. New opportunities and revised, innovative, and interesting pro- grams were instituted. (See department reports for details.) Due to continued growth of Cape Cod there seems little doubt that some form of an extended day is in order for September, 1972, with possible Open Campus and Work -Study combinations. The reports of our many departments follow: Guidance — John W. Downey, Director Our department was expanded by another member this year to make a total of four counselors and a director. The core of the guidance program continues to be the counseling service. Counseling, as well as all other guidance activities, attempts to be student centered at all times. The majority of the time is spent with the student in solving per- sonal and adjustment problems, as well as formulating educational and vocational goals. All students are seen on regularly scheduled interviews, and are encouraged to make use of the guidance facilities and services at any time they so desire. During the spring, a conference is held with each student, and a schedule is planned for the next school year. The guid- 12 ance personnel are available in the evenings during this time to allow those parents who are not available during the day to meet with their child's counselor. During the year members of the guidance department attend local, regional and national conferences to keep current with the latest trends in the field. The goal of the department is to help each student understand him- self, and to help the student set the most realistic goals, consonant with his abilities to become a useful and productive citizen in our society. English Department — Alan R. Carlsen, Chairman After considerable research and preparation, the English Depart- ment inaugurated its elective program with an initial offering of almost one hundred courses to sophomores, juniors and seniors. Final student and faculty selections narrowed the number to approximately fifty of the most popular and/or most needed courses. With only a term and a half completed, the general reaction has been favorable. People have always enjoyed a higher degree of success when studying something in which they are interested, and this is the premise on which such a program is built. While there is the inherent danger that a student may elect courses in a narrow area of interest, parent supervision, teacher suggestions, and counselor guidance should help a student elect courses of benefit and interest to him. This program has brought with it additional work and new problems to all concerned, such as homogeneous grouping and scheduling diffi- culties, but its success will be evaluated on the most basic question: Are students learning more now than they were under the traditional approach? Library — Mrs. Harriet Burkhard, Librarian The Library has virtually run out of space for further expansion of its book collection. Until new quarters become available, priority will be given to upgrading and expanding the card . catalog, which is the key to quality service in every library. This is painstaking work in- volving many staff hours, both professional and clerical. However, it is essential as a basis to any future growth of the Library, if that growth is to be in line with accepted state and national standards. The professional concept of the Library as a place reserved for use of library materials only is being implemented by a refined pass system. Where quarters, collection, and staff is limited in relation to the student body, this concept insures the greatest service to the greatest number of students needing library materials and reference assistance. 13 Mathematics Department — Stanley M. Daggett, Chairman The Mathematics Department offers a college preparatory sequence of Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Math IV, Math V and a general mathematics sequence of General Math I, General Math II and Senior Math (General). The Senior Math course was divided into a general and a college section this year. The general section serves as a terminal course for the non -college student. The college section is a review course in algebra, geometry and elementary trigonometry for the student who has had difficulty with these courses. The Orleans -Hannah Algebra Prognosis Test was given to all eighth - grade students to assist the guidance department in placement of stu- dents. We are experimenting with a team -teaching approach with some sections of Algebra I. Mr. John Crompton is a new member of the mathematics depart- ment. Social Studies — The following Grade 9. Grade 10. Grade 11. Grade 12. Walter C. Hewins, Chairman Social Studies courses are offered: Civics or Ancient History World Geography or World History U. S. History, Economics, Psychology Social Studies one term Elective Courses. The Grade 12 program is new this year and has been highly suc- cessful. Its organization is as follows: One term (1/4 year) elective courses are available to seniors only. Upon successful completion the student received 1/4 point credit. To receive one full credit, the student must take four courses. More than four courses a year may be taken by the student providing there is room available. The courses offered result from a combined effort on the part of the instructors and the students. Student request and instructor back- ground are considered before initiating a course. The following are the courses offered for the 1972-73 school year. The list is subject to evaluation and change for the 1973-74 school year. 1. Civil Liberties, Part 1 2. Russia, Yesterday and Today 3. Modern Economics 4. Civil Liberties, Part 2 5. Organized Crime 6. Civil Rights 7. Environmental Studies 8. Current Events, Part 1 9. The "Establishment" as it relates to man 10. Contemporary Foreign Policy of the United States 11. Minorities 12. Current Events, Part 2 14 Science — Edward M. York, Chairman This past year we initiated one new course and modified the content and presentation of three others. General Biology — Five of the general biology courses are using the Ideas and Investigations of Science (IIS) program. The laboratory activities are designed to develop basic understanding of five fundamen- tal concepts: Inquiry, Evolution, Genetics, Homeostasis, and Ecology. Mr. Romano reports high interest and success among participating students. College Preparatory Chemistry — One section is using a version of the nationally developed CHEM STUDY program. This is a lab -centered, fairly mathematical approach to understanding chemical theory. With 60 students, Mr. Bell and Mr. York are using a modified team -teaching approach which combines lectures, discussion and laboratory. This method gives teachers and students the benefit of more varied teaching and additional teacher preparation time. College Preparatory Physics — Mr. Bell is using a spiral approach to the subject. This presentation covers topics twice during the year. The second time being of greater depth and requiring more insight than the first. Basic Electricity — Enrollment in this new course was so high that we were forced to divide the students into four classes. Emphasis here is on practical applications of electrical theory. Modern science teaching demands continuous access to laboratory facilities. Ideally, each teacher should have a laboratory classroom for his own use. This year, under our present system of scheduling, we have reached our absolute limit of flexibility with almost 100 percent room use every period. Enrollment in our 9th Grade Earth Science course has increased to 224. This a jump of 85 students over last year and clearly calls for two full-time teachers in the field. Courses taken by teachers this year were: Mr. Wherity - Field Study Techniques in Earth Science, an N.S.F. summer institute. Mr. York - Sulfur and the Winter Environment (Ecology) 2. Intertidal Biology (Ecology) Through the effort and cooperation of all, we are developing, I feel, an excellent program in the sciences. I would like to see the develop- ment of more interdisciplinary courses and the initiation of courses which utilize our unique Cape Cod environment to a large extent. Con- sideration of ways in which this could be done is under way. 15 Foreign Language Department — Mrs. Edith VanBuren, Director The enrollment in the different languages is gradually changing: Latin is down to Latin I; more people are electing Spanish, thanks to Middle School guidance and to the quality of instruction offered at D -Y; French, in consequence, has not increased in proportion to school pop- ulation, and we were able to relieve Mrs. Evans of her two weak divi- sions of French I. This year we have allowed more freshmen to try French II and nearly sixty are enrolled, as against twenty -odd last year. It is too early to judge results, but we are convinced that the move was a good one. Looking toward the future, we are experimenting with modified versions of the open classroom, by incorporating into the curriculum units of independent study in both French and Spanish, and are explor- ing the possibility of mini -courses when future facilities permit. Business Department — Mrs. Priscilla Webster, Chairman We are proud of our Business Department and pleased with the services it renders to the school and to the community. We feel that the Department, under the leadership of the business teachers, is meet- ing its objectives — to give students an understanding and practical application of business through its general "on -the -job -training program" in the following manner: Practical application is given through an intensive filing program, actual telephones are used for the proper telephone techniques, correct operation of modern business machines includes a bookkeeping machine for Accounts Receivable and the loan of electronic calculators. Type- written work is prepared with emphasis placed on neatness, accuracy, detail and proofreading for the duplication of reports; there is dictation and transcription for different departments within the school; hundreds of personal income taxes are figured. Payroll is followed through with an understanding of the figuring of withholding taxes and the writing of checks. This also includes quarterly reports. Actual bank recon- ciliations for businesses are prepared, and twenty accounts within the operation of the high school are maintained. Students figure the net profit of nearly $2,000. for the successful Freshman Magazine Drive as well as the handling of the entire business part of the Yearbook. Industrial Arts Department — Andrew H. Miller, Director In the Industrial Arts proper area, the greatest change came with the division of Room 011 to make a combination Boat Building Shop and a Drafting area in order to expand our Drafting offerings. Of course this meant severely limiting the number of students in Boat Building, but we did not lose the program entirely and are able to service up to 80 more students in Drafting. Mr. Joseph Kenney, a qualified instructor, was hired in September to teach the two areas in this room. 16 Near the end of December, Mr eral Industrial Arts, submitted his teach in Australia for three years. services of Mr. Jackson Hibbert, teacher to replace him. . M. Alden James, instructor in Gen - resignation as he had contracted to We were fortunate to procure the another fully -qualified, experienced Power Mechanics continues to be very popular. Because the demand is so great in the Power Mechanics I area, we were obliged to resort to single periods to accommodate the students. The large numbers and the small work area force us to curtail severely the practical work for these groups. The Printing Shop continues to be a very busy place. The increase in the school population requires, larger press runs and bindery for the popular "Guidelines," "Bowsprit" and "Driftwood," as well as the many school forms, athletic schedules, programs, etc., that we produce. The modified (school oriented) "work-study" program works out very well. In the Home Economics area an experimental "Chef's Course" was inaugurated this year. As it was a half-year course, we feel that we have learned to make some changes for the balance of the year, which will make the offering more desirable and meaningful. The Art Classes continued with their long record of fine perform ances — subject only to the limitation of classroom space and storage areas. We still have to limit numbers as the demands surpass the avail- ability. Particularly of note, along with its many other fine accomplish- ments, was the hanging of one of our pupil's work in the new John F. Kennedy Memorial Performing Arts Building in Washington, D.C., rep- resenting Massachusetts school student art — another instance for D -Y to be nationally known. Music Department — Charles E. Tourjee The Fall season opened with the band, ,majorettes and pep squad preparing for and performing at all nine football games and rallies. Chorus sang for local fraternal and social organizations. Both band and chorus members took part in Cape Cod Music Festival, Southeast District Music Festival and Christmas Pops Concert. We were part of local holiday parades and festivities. One of the usual highlights of the music year is the Senior Musical. This year "Brigadoon" was very ably performed by D -Y students. Musical exchanges with other towns always afford musical and social learning. June graduation is both a happy and sad occasion as the music director watches his four year music veterans leave, after contributing so much to the success of the music program. 17 Physical Education — Merrill D. Wilson, Director At the end of the 1971-72 school year, the Capeway Conference will no longer exist and will give way to a new multi -division conference as of September, 1972. This announcement was made in the fall when the four Cape Cod schools (Bourne, Falmouth, Barnstable and Dennis -Yar- mouth) joined the other three Capeway Conference schools (Fairhaven, Dartmouth and Wareham) to become a part of a conference that will be formed by more than twenty-five southeastern Massachusetts schools. Although there are some misgivings about breaking up a league (Cape - way) that has served us well, it is hoped that the new league will bring greater equality of competition, allow for greater flexibility in schedul- ing, and, consequently, be beneficial to our overall program. In order to offer as meaningful and diversified a program as pos- sible, the units in our Physical Education program met with little change. However, recognizing the need to update the teaching and presentation of these activities, students were allowed, wherever pos- sible, to regulate their own degree of proficiency in a skill — as deter- mined by their own values and not those of the instructor. Additions were made to the area of intramural activities which included a Saturday morning basketball program for girls. The basket- ball intramural program for boys moved to Thursday evenings, with more than one hundred boys participating. Also added was a Fall tennis program that included instruction as well as play. This was offered as a co-educational activity. Nowhere in Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School is the need greater for additional space than in the area of Physical Education and athletics. Our teaching stations and play area are no larger today than fifteen years ago when the school was built to accommodate less than five hundred students. It is impossible to offer a modern, dynamic, flex- ible program in Physical Education that our students not only deserve, but must have, without additional facilities in the very near future. Driver Education — Kenneth Hudson Another example of services to pupils is shown by our school Driver Education Program. The figures from September 1, 1971, through De- cember, 1971, are as follows: 240 students have completed 30 hours of classroom instruction; 60 students are taking Learner's Permit Examina- tion; 30 have received Driving Licenses to date; 35 are ready for Driving Examination; and 65 are under instruction in the "behind -the -wheel" driving. Photography — Lloyd Avery, Director Twelve students overlook the cramped quarters of the small dark room area. They assume the responsibility of printing many of the 18 photos used in the Yearbook and school newspaper. Because the students can control the final results of the print, they obtain maximum quality. Summer School — _ Joseph W. Aldridge, Director It gives me a great deal of satisfaction to report that the 1971 session has been the most successful in the history of our existence. We had a high total of 162 Dennis -Yarmouth students enrolled in our Summer Session and a total of 391 in class registrations. I feel that the increased numbers are due to the fact that we are each year trying to find new ways to help our students and citizens. In 1971, with the help of the Math and English departments in Yarmouth and Dennis, we offered special courses in Mathematics and English after the students had been tested, in a joint effort by the system as a team. It is in the spirit of this type of effort that your Summer School Director will work to meet the needs of all our students and citizens. In meeting the special needs of our people, the Summer Session has grown to a faculty of 20 and has covered the areas of English, Math, Typing, Driver Education, Social Studies, Languages, Sciences, Cooking and Sewing, and Art. I hope, as your Director, to improve the service and try to meet the future needs of our students and citizens. We are pleased to present this brief report of our activities, plans and year's accomplishment. On behalf of the entire staff, may we express our sincere appreciation to our former Superintendent, Alfred R. Ken- yon, his successor, John A. Murphy, and to the Dennis -Yarmouth Region- al School Committee for their continued interest, encouragement, under- standing and support. Respectfully submitted, Wallace A. Johnson, Ed.D.
