The reports of the Town of Yarmouth Waterways Committee and the Yarmouth Council on Aging were given at this time as follows: Town of Yarmouth Waterways Committee March 10, 1972 Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth, Mass. 02664 This report is submitted by the Town of Yarmouth Waterways Committee in accordance with Article 79 of the 1971 Town Meeting, as amended from the floor. Article 79 called for a vote to raise and appropriate or take from available funds a sum of money for an engineering study of Yarmouth Port Pier and bulkhead or take any other action thereto. This was amended charging the Waterways Committee to make a study of the Yarmouth Port Pier area and to report its findings at the next Annual Town Meeting. Yarmouth Port Pier, so-called, is located off of Water Street and adjacent to the former location of the Freezer Plant and is actually a raised roadway running generally North and South bounded by a small tributary to Short Wharf Creek on the West and tidal marshland on the East. 29 The remembered and pictorial history of this area indicates there has been, from time to time, partially bulkheaded piers, pile piers, board -walks and bath houses all being destroyed by storms. Four years ago, approximately $15,000. was expended to repair the roadway, provide some rip -rap and construct a small bulkhead. This, in turn, has been almost completely destroyed. Our study indicates that to make this area usable for small craft and to provide any measurable permanency would require the following as a minimum: 1. Remove present damaged bulkhead. 2. Raise roadway a minimum of two feet. 3. Rip -rap with heavy stone both sides and the North end of roadway 4. Provide a series of steps, gang -way and floats: 5. Dredge the length ofthe tributary to Short Wharf Creek to a depth providing a minimum of two and one-half feet at low tide. Because the tributary provides little or no water at low tide, only three to five small craft have been moored adjacent to the bulkhead during the past four years. The roadway receives some traffic and use as a viewing area of the marshes, Dennis sand dunes and Barnstable Harbor. There is a potential here for a small recreational area which could include small craft moorings, parking for scenery viewing and bird watching and picnic fireplaces. However, due to estimated engineering study and construction costs, as well as present lack of demonstrated need, the Waterways Committee, at this time, does not recommend an engineering study or that further town funds be expended on the Yarmouth Port Pier until such times as a local area request indicates the potentials of this area are wanted or needed. Waterways Committee Wallace C. Liberty Secretary 30 REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH COUNCIL ON AGING To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth The Yarmouth Council on Aging has had a very busy but frustrating year. As of December 6, 3800 persons are now registered as Senior Citizens; 2742 from Yarmouth and 1058 from Dennis. The demands on the Council members by the Senior Citizens, for an adequate Senior Citizens' Center have been constant. We were requested by the Owls' Club to move from their premises and we are now located in "Fishermen's House" next to the South Yarmouth Methodist Church on Main Street. The space in the Center is very inadequate as is the parking space. We have only one classroom — consequently we have to turn away many of our Senior Citizens who desire to join the classes. We have at least twelve gentlemen who come to the Center every day to play cards. These men say this has been a "life saver" for them BUT there are twice as many who would make use of the Center every day IF THERE WERE ROOM. When we moved from the Owls' Club we lost the use of two pool tables. The men who enjoyed playing pool are now lost. Our two classes in Lip Reading for persons with hearing problems are now being held in the D -Y Regional High School; the Square Dancing Group meets in the Church Hall of the Congregational Church in Yarmouth Port and the D -Y Senior Citizens' Mixed Chorus uses one of the rooms at the Methodist Church. Our Senior Citizens should be under -one roof with adequate facilities to take care of them. This was brought out very forcibly last year by the sudden death of one of our Council members in the Yarmouth Town Hall. Since that time we have purchased an oxygen outfit, but it cannot be in more than one place at a time. We cannot continue to ignore the pleas of our Senior Citizens who have paid taxes for years and who now need the companionship, counseling and referral they should be receiving from an adequate. Senior Citizens' Center. We tried to get funds from the State and Federal governments for such a building but we were told we could get all kinds of grants for various programs but nothing was available for funding the building of a Center. Therefore, we have come to the conclusion that the only way to get such a building is to have the Town float a bond issue for the purpose of erecting such a building, This we intend to do by an Article in the Warrant for the Town Meeting to be held March 1972. We earnestly request the co-operation of the Finance Committee, the Selectmen and the citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. Such a building will be an asset to the town and will be there for everyone to use when they become Senior Citizens. More than 1400 Senior Citizens attended a very successful Senior 31 Citizens' Rally held at .the Sheraton in Hyannis in May 1971. The Council and the Town of Yarmouth were honored by having the Chairman of the Council named as a delegate to the White House Conference on Aging which was held from November 28 to December 2, 1971 in Washington. Respectfully submitted, Yarmouth Council on Aging (Mrs.) Dorothy M. Schoonmaker, Chairman Acting under Article 1.

Gentlemen: TREE DEPARTMENT During the year 1972 the tree department planted eighty-two trees along the roadways of the town. Many of these trees were planted in areas where native Pine trees have been lost, due to the Pine Tip Moth, and as replacements for Elm Trees that had to be removed due to Dutch Elm Disease. All of these trees are fertilized, staked, and guyed for protection, when they are planted. Varieties planted this past year include: Flowering Crab; Flowering Cherry; Lindon; Mountain Ash; Sugar and Norway Maples and Hawthorne Trees. Shade Trees bordering town roadways and street corners were pruned where it was necessary for sidewalk and roadway clearance. Many dead Pine trees were cut down and removed, in places where they were a danger to the public. DUTCH ELM DEPARTMENT Twelve very large old Elm trees had to be removed this past year due to Dutch Elm Disease. One was removed in South Yarmouth, the remaining were all on the North side; six were on Railroad Avenue. New trees have been planted where these Elms were removed, but it will be many years before the beauty of these stately old Elms can be replaced. The foliage spraying of the Elm trees was carried on during the summer months in an attempt to control the Elm Leaf Beetle. Many Elm trees were pruned and cleared of dead wood during the winter months, to give them added strength. INSECT PEST CONTROL The infestation of Gypsy Moth in our town this year was very bad. The fact that we were banned from carrying on the aerial spray program which had been planned for 1971, worsened conditions for 1972 as the moth had spread from thickly wooded areas into many areas that we hadn't seen it in before. This year, fortunately, we were able to go on with the aerial spraying program, and a total of 2,250 acres were covered. The 137 first spraying of 1,200 acres was done on June 11th. Then with wind and rain •giving us poor spraying conditions the remaining 1,050 acres were completed on June 22. This entire program was carried on under State supervision. Many miles of roadside spraying were completed within the town with Mist Blower and Hydraulic Sprayers for a period of four weeks. In a check by helicopter with photographs taken on July 22, the sections not sprayed were completely bare, as the moth had eaten everything green in sight, and completely defoliated every tree. It looked as though a forest fire had gone through these sections. The sections that were sprayed were a dense green and had suffered little, if any, defoliation and continued to provide shade. The Nantucket Pine Tip Moth is still bothersome in some areas, but has not seemed to spread any more. The worry for the Pine trees this coming year, is that the upper Cape area has had such a severe outbreak of Pine Looper and it is feared it will come our way, just as the Gypsy Moth did. The Looper turns the Pines completely brown, but spray can be applied to control it. If left unchecked, it will leave the trees in an unsightly condition. A few Tent Caterpillars were again found on the Wild Cherry and Beach Plum trees on the South side of town, but were sprayed in early May and kept under control. The beach and park areas as well as roadsides were once again sprayed for Poison Ivy and ticks during -June, July and August. In closing I wish to thank the many townspeople who have brought to my attention situations pertaining to this department. My thanks to the Highway and Police departments for their help on several occasions. Respectfully submitted, Jon L. Holmes Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent IMPROVEMENT AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE REPORT January 1, 1973 To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: During 1972, Yarmouth enjoyed the continued superior efforts of the Park Department and its full-time gardener in beautifying the many islands and intersections in Town. Much time and effort was devoted to the large island across from the Town Hall where 3 inches of topsoil was installed, town water connected, and healthy grass cultivated. Of particular 138 note was Mr. Sherman's efforts in planting the bed of red, white, and blue Petunias in the form of our U.S. Flag! We hope to continue this practice in 1973. A welcome touch this past Christmas Season was the installation of three large Christmas Trees complete with automatic colored lights in three prominent locations of Town. This project is also planned as an annual event. Our thanks again to the Park Department for their help and fast work. In Yarmouth Port on the Village Green, our large flag pole is once again proudly displaying our National Flag which was donated earlier in the year. Mr. Hugh S. Clark, Curator of the famous Captain Bangs Hallett House has faithfully raised and lowered the Colors each day. Our heartfelt thanks to him. For 1973 your Committee will be acting more in an advisory capacity than previously. Projects at The Baxter Mill and Bass River Windmill will be begun in conjunction with other town departments. The newly -formed Garden Club in Yarmouth has graciously offered their services for a project in 1973, which will help to keep our Town spruced up. We appreciate their concern and help. Our thanks also to all the individuals who have done their share in 1972 to make Yarmouth a cleaner, more attractive community to live in. These small efforts by all are what really makes the difference. Respectfully submitted, John G. Sears III, Chairman John L. Marchildon, Secretary Howard C. Doane, Jr. Irma M. Spurr Elva M. Tallman REPORT OF THE TOWN CHARTER COMMISSION Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: February 8, 1973 The Yarmouth Charter Commission presents herewith, a brief summary and report of its work and deliberations since its establishment by the voters of Yarmouth in the March 1972 election. In that election a Charter Commission was approved by a vote of 3122 in favor and 1212 139 opposed. The nine members of the Commission were duly elected in that same election. Under the Home Rule Act of 1966, Chapter 734, and as amended by Chapter 43B, a Charter Commission is given broad powers and the authority to examine, review and investigate the operation of local town government. The Commission after study and consideration of the town operation, then prepares and. presents to the voters a framework of governmental structure that it deems most desirable and workable for the conduct of local affairs. The Yarmouth Charter Commission examined the governmental structure of nine other Massachusetts towns and considered various types or variations of government operation throughout the State. Mindful of the heavy responsibility and importance of the task, the Commission proceeded with an objective study and investigation of the local, existing structure. At all times the Commission kept in mind the useful traditions of New England town government as well as the pressures of the tremendous growth of the town in the past several years, and its impact on the town and area. The Yarmouth Charter Commission started its work on March 28, 1972 and conducted forty meetings, open to the public at all times. It also held two public hearings as required under Chapter 43B. A preliminary draft of a suggested or proposed charter was presented to the people of Yarmouth on November 14, 1972. With revisions and changes, the final report and text of the proposed charter was completed and ready for presentation to the voters on January 5, 1973. At a meeting on that date, the official final report and text of the proposed charter was delivered to the Board of Selectmen. As required under Chapter 43B, the Board of Selectmen published the report and text of the proposed charter, and arranged for distribution to "each residence with one or more voters." The Board also is required to make arrangements to enter the Charter question on the ballot at the next town election. Thus the proposed charter comes before the voters of the town for their approval or rejection in the March 1973 annual election. Because of space limitations and to avoid expensive duplication, the Commission cannot outline or print the ten chapters of the charter text in this short report. It is suggested that all citizens examine and review the printed copy, mailed to all homes, so that each and every voter may be aware of the contents and the importance of this constitutional document. The Yarmouth Charter as proposed and presented to the voters reflects the majority view of the Commission on all questions. The final report and text, was adopted by a unanimous vote of the Commission. The Commission believes that the acceptance of this charter will be a constructive step . in advancing efficient government operation in Yar- mouth. Also, the Commission is confident that the Charter provides a 140 sound and progressive action and a step forward to meet the demands and changes brought about by the growth and expansion that surround the Town of Yarmouth. YARMOUTH CHARTER COMMISSION Clayton L. Holden, Chairman Albert 0. Anderson, Vice Chairman James McVey, Clerk -Secretary Leslie E. Campbell Arthur M. Connelly Thomas N. George Fernand E. Lemay Filmore W. McAbee John G. Sears, III REPORT OF THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: I hereby submit the following report for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1972. Clams remain about the same as last year, with a few of the key spots producing. However, there was an abundance of clams in the Follins Pond area. These were found in the deep water, which made it difficult for Family Permits. This area was open to Commercial fishing and found to be very productive throughout the summer and fall. Quahogs, in the Georgetown Flats area, held up well throughout the year. Other areas were pretty stable. In some areas of the north side, quahogs showed a good survival rate. It is the department's intention to increase some of these north shore areas. Oysters were allowed to be harvested this year for the first time in many years. If we can maintain the oyster program, it is possible to have limited oystering in the future. Scallops, (with a late start due to the Red Tide situation) turned out to be a much better than average year. Lewis Bay area was the most productive area of the Cape and Islands. If you were one of the unfortunates that had to buy scallops, you know the price was at an all time high. The Red Tide closed the Town temporarily while extensive sampling was taking place. We were fortunate that no trace of Red Tide was found in any area of our Town. However, sampling for Red Tide will be set up in the Town in conjunction with our water purification stations, which we have been using for the past two years. We have had excellent cooperation • 141 from the Barnstable County Health Office and dedicated service from Stetson Hall. Our water stations have been a tremendous aid to this department, and will be practiced faithfully in the future. The biological survey and testing was completed with good results too numerous to put in this report. The testing for food factors, water chemistry, predators and growth in different areas of the Town will certainly steer the propogation program of this department in the right direction in the future. Portions of the program, to keep up with environmental changes in the future, will be done through the regular budget. Again, I would like to remind the Permit Holders to familiarize themselves, and other members of the family using the Permit, with the Rules and Regulations governing Shellfishing. The major changes are made April 1st and October 1st. Please read them. It may save self-embarrasment. These Rules and Regulations are necessary to insure the existence of these natural resources. Your cooperation will help.

Respectfully submitted, Morris I. Johnson, Jr. Shellfish Constable PLUMBING AND GAS INSPECTORS' REPORT February 6, 1973 We hereby submit our report as Inspectors of Plumbing and Gas for the year 1972. During the year we made a total of 849 Plumbing permits and 953 Gas permits were issued. The fee for Plumbing and Gas permits were increased in 1971, and has made this department self-sufficient. 142 The income from Plumbing permits for the year 1972 was $9,123.00 as compared to $7,988.50 in 1971. The income from Gas permits for 1972 was $6,676.00 as compared to $5,542.10 in 1971. Respectfully submitted, James J. McDonald Robert S. Harwood Plumbing and Gas Inspectors REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES January 5, 1973 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: During the year 1972, this department made 1618 inspections, covered approximately 2500 miles, and spent 246 hours in the office. Respectfully submitted, John F. Stever Inspector of Wires 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 1972. The average citizen, on looking around him, finds it obvious that the Town of Yarmouth is fast out -growing "small-town" status. It is readily conceivable that, within the next five years, population will increase to upwards of twenty -thousand. While we "natives" are prone to complain of this trend there appears to be little that we can do to stem it short of legislation prohibiting building in the Town. With this rocketing growth comes the inevitable increasing of the criminal element that dogs the footsteps of "progress". We, your first, last, 143 and only, line of defense against this rising tide are desperately in need of your assistance in the form of becoming involved. When you, as a citizen of the Town, observe anything that you deem to be of a suspicious nature, report it. If you see a crime being committed, call the police. If you merely "think" that you saw something that shouldn't be, holler. As a concerned taxpayer you must move in this direction. If you fear that your involvement may result in your having to appear in court or that you may be putting yourself in danger by reporting a suspicious person, merely advise the officer that you don't wish to identify yourself. In making calls of this nature dial 775-0215. By making us aware of an existing condition or circumstance you are helping yourself—and us. Naturally we would prefer that you identify yourself but this is not necessary. Remember that number-775-0215—and call us. We hope to initiate a new concept in police -community relations by having one of our regular officers assigned to the Dennis -Yarmouth High School. For the past several years we have pushed for this new position with both administrative officials and school boards with little (actually no) progress. Things are changing, hopefully for the better. You may wonder why put a police officer in a school? Circumstances requiring police attention are continually cropping up in the school system. Larcenies, assault and batteries, narcotics and drugs, malicious destruction of property; you name it and chances are we have had occasion to investigate it. It is my belief that most of these situations can be satisfactorily cleared by one man stationed at the school, in plain clothes, in his own office. Little is gained by an arrest of a student but much can be gained by one man exercising common sense "rapping" with kids that are apt to get into trouble of this nature. This officer would be available to all of the kids, all of the time. It is not our intention to prosecute minors if it can possibly be avoided. Nobody needs a crinimal record, especially young people whose entire adult life can be adversely effected. This officer would be well versed in the rights of the individual as well as all police and court procedures. He would be available to talk to various classes at the request of the teacher. He would be responsible for closing the communications gap that presently exists between school-age youngsters and the police. We of the police cannot afford to stand still and be satisfied with yesterday, last month, or last year. In a changing society we too must change or become entangled in last year's policies and mistakes. Flexibility is the key word along with the ability to innovate, to adapt to an unstable, occasionally revolutionary, environment. Your involvement will make all the difference.

A total of !'54 Building Permits were applied for and 788 were issued for construction estimated to cost $14,774,780.00. These permits were: 489 residential, 64 non-residential, and 235 for pools, alterations and additions. The department has three full-time men to cover building inspection, sewage inspection, agents for the Board cf Health, sign inspection, Sealer of Weights and Measures, town by law enforcement and occupancy permits for all buildings used by the public. The Building Permit fee has been raised and a fee for sewage installations was initiated, and the cost to the town has been greatly reduced. Problems to be inspected have been on the increase due to the rise in buildings and population. Respectfully submitted, Howard A. Spurr Building Inspector 148 REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF VETERANS' SERVICES AND VETERANS' AGENT District Board: E. Thomas Murphy, Chairman, Barnstable Carl Hiler, Sandwich Howard Marchant, Yarmouth David Lane, Dennis Kevin O'Connell, Mashpee I hereby submit my annual report of the District Department of Veterans' Services. For the Town of Yarmouth, this Department spent $41,615.47 on Veterans' Benefits which includes ordinary living expenses, medical and Nursing Homes. A total of 52 cases were aided. Besides aiding veterans and their dependents in a financial manner, this department shall assist them in furnishing such information, advice and assistance to enable them to procure the benefits to which they may be entitled relative to employment, vocational or other educational opportunities, hospitalization, medical care, pensions and other veterans' benefits. A total of 5716 people availed themselves of our services during 1972; also, this office handled 4886 incoming telephone calls. Included in this report is a report from the Investigator, Sidney L. Chase, as follows: As the District's Investigator, my primary job is to make regular reports on all cases on Veterans' Benefits. Semi-annual reports on all permanent cases and monthly visits on all temporary cases are made. For the calendar year, 1972, I made 52 home visits, 17 permanent cases and 35 temporary cases. Secondly, I assist Mr. Cross with Veterans' Service work for all eligible veterans. Also, any other daily problems that occur within the Veterans' Service Office. The Department wishes to thank the Board of Selectmen and their various Town Departments for their splendid cooperation throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, Charles H. Cross Director and Agent 149 REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH YOUTH COMMISSION Last year's Town Meeting gave the Youth Commission a place in the West Yarmouth Community Building. The young people have painted the interior; posters have been hung on the walls and a new office was built; and now the youngsters begin to identify the upstairs of the Community Building as theirs—a place to meet—whether to study, play pool or ping pong, or put on a variety show. The Youth Co-ordinator has devoted much of his time to individual counseling—since this personal and confidential work does not lend itself to a detailed report, a moderate estimate would be that he has worked intensively with individuals this year. As well as responding to direct requests for counseling, and advice, and sympathy, he has been present at juvenile court, and all youth commission sponsored activities, and putting many hours in at the office. All of this at many times totals more than the average forty hour work week—many times, especially during the summer a sixty hour week is accounted for. The Youth Commission has also seen the need for programs for young people. The programming has settled into two parts. Those of high school age—which during the summer vacation they are busy working and have their own social activities—do not seem to need daytime activities; but the Tuesday night movies at the Community Building remain in demand on a year round basis. During the school year they respond to the Wednesday night open house at the Community Building and to the scheduled use of the gymnasium and other athletic facilities as well as dances. The pre -teen group, on_ the other hand, responded largely to the summer programming. Due to the large demand of this age group, a summer assistant was hired—Miss Ellen Spinner, who holds a degree in physical education. Greatest attendance was at the several arts and crafts classes, for which special teachers were engaged. Also popular was sailing lessons, impromptu softball, touch football, and basketball games, as well as the Tuesday night movies. The pre -teen group ranged from six years of age and up. With the summer programs such a success, arts and crafts has been continued on Saturday mornings at the Community Building from ages five and up, with parents present a youngster of four may attend. Another activity which radiated a lot of enthusiasm was a talent show, sponsored by the Youth Commission, with local citizens judging the great quality of talent presented by the youth, and trophies were presented. The Yarmouth Youth Commission has been busy trying to satisfy all age groups, to occupy their free time, so as to eliminate the problems on the street. Through all these activities the Commission is trying to decrease 150 the need of counseling and youngsters that are sent to juvenile court. The Commission realizes that this problem will probably never be eliminated, but great strides are being taken to curb the problem. The Youth Commission thanks the voters for supporting them, and for the confidence the voters have expressed in giving them support to meet the ever-changing patterns of the young people. Respectfully submitted, Harold Gaffney, President Pearl Wolfson, 1st Vice President Maureen Neale, 2nd Vice President Judith Edmunds, Treasurer Jane Deering, Secretary Mark Fruean REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH HOUSING AUTHORITY January 10, 1973 G. R. Kaup, Executive Director Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: • The Yarmouth Housing Authority planned no major maintenance program for the calendar year 1972 as a large amount of refurbishing of the individual apartments was done in 1972. Due to changes in tenants during 1972, three units were completely refurbished. Our contemplated maintenance plan for 1973 will include exterior painting of the 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 about thirty applications for future admissions from Yarmouth residents. Briefly, eligibility requirements are that a person must be 65 years of age of over (single persons living alone, or couples are eligible) and of low income. The average monthly rent, including heat, electricity and water is $50.00. 151 A financial statement of operation as of December 31, 1972 is: Income including State Aid $34996.60 Expense 32855.51 2141.09 Respectfully submitted, James H. Brown, Chairman Clyde C. Hackett, Vice Chairman Spear T. Holway Peter G. Homer Edward M. Webster CC: Miles Mahoney, Commissioner Thaddeus Buczko, State Auditor HIGHWAY SURVEYOR'S REPORT To the Board of Selectmen: December 26, 1972 At the 1972 Annual Town Meeting, twelve new roads were accepted and five roads for reconstruction. Forest Road was completed and the sides of all roads were loamed and seeded. Chapter 90 monies were used to resurface another portion of Higgins Crowell Road. Stone sealing was done on three Town roads and portions of two others. From money voted for drainage we installed sixty-nine pre -cast leaching basins. Sixty catch basins were also put in during the year on various streets. 1017 lineal feet of sidewalks with curbing were completed on Long Pond Drive from Winslow Gray Road to Clifford Street. Approximately a total of 950 basins were cleaned out in the spring and fall. More should be done but we have to rely on a rented cleaner. Most of the streets were swept but with only one sweeper, and more roads each year, we cannot get them all done in one year. The sand roads were filled and scraped several times during the year. This year we purchased a sign machine. One man makes and maintains all street and traffic signs and he completed 392 signs between June and December. This saves the Town both time and money. During the summer months we hired two high school boys to pick up the litter on the roadsides. James C. Marsh Highway Surveyor 152 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass.

This ambulance was purchased over a year ago as a surplus property vehicle originally used by the military and under the direction of the Town Civil Defense Director and was placed with the Police Department. When placed with the Fire Department for limited use as a back-up unit to the Police, under the direction of the Selectmen, the Fire Department formed a policy and operating procedure for this purpose. During the remainder of the year it developed that the demand for this type of vehicle in many instances grew rapidly. It became evident that the experiment for the short time involved was filling an important phase in the area of treatment and transportation of the sick and injured. As a final result, the Selectmen directed the Fire Chief to propose to them an operational plan including estimated costs covering the permanent operation of an ambulance by the Fire Department. Two plans and estimated costs were submitted, the most complete of the two included adding 6 additional men to the Fire Department for the purpose of providing 2 men per shift for ambulance and rescue details. The alternate plan of providing only 3 men additionally to the Fire Department so as to provide only 1 man per shift for ambulance and rescue was selected by the Selectmen as they felt that the first plan was too expensive. In either case, it was determined that a new ambulance to replace the 12 year old one in use presently was necessary. 155 The results during the next 18 months will pretty much determine the course to follow concerning demand for service versus costs and it is my humble opinion that when the need for this emergency rescue and ambulance arises and the results of it are proven, the demand for it will very much overshadow the costs. Cooperation on everyone's part will be vital to a successful result and to this end the utilization of on -duty firemen, off-duty firemen, call firemen and police officers to provide the necessary additional manpower essential for proper operation will be made. Three articles will appear in the warrant this year involving the Fire Department. One will request that the Town purchase and equip a Van -type ambulance. As stated above, this is absolutely necessary if there is to be an uninterrupted operation covering ambulance and rescue service. A second article is a repeat of an identical article in last year's warrant requesting that the Town purchase and equip a Squad truck to replace the 1957 Dodge Government Surplus van now in use. This article was defeated last year unfortunately, and the need now is more desperate not only to provide replacement of an ailing squad truck, but to fill the need for a back-up unit in the area of rescue as I foresaw and tried to point out last year. There is still a process of possible reimbursement up to 50% being negotiated with the Office of Civil Defense. A third article requests the replacement of the 6 year old automobile now used by the Chief of the Fire Department. Bids have been requested for the above vehicles and the actual cost after bid opening covering each will be requested at town meeting. 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 of the department auxiliary for their efforts and aid, and to the officers and men of the Fire Department I express my sincere appreciation for their help and assistance. Dana H. Whittemore Chief of Fire Department 156 1972 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT In 1971, three major problem areas were reported: (1) overloaded parking lots and adjacent areas around four south -shore beaches; (2) the lack of funds for offering swimming instruction and (3) increased vandalism.. Of these problems, one was solved in 1972. The passage of Special Article 54 in March 1972 provided $3700 for swimming instruction and, as a result, over 900 children were given instruction. The other two problems remain. The defeat of Article F (1972), which would have modified Town by-laws section 4.05, resulted in continued parking problems at several "free" beaches. Vandalism also continued to be a major problem. Damage suffered included broken doors and windows, attempts to burn ticket booths, shingles removed, fences pushed over by vehicles, and life -guard stands being up -rooted and thrown into the water. It is estimated that it cost well in excess of $4500 to repair these damages. In spite of these problems, it is felt that much progress was made in 1972. (1) High intensity lighting installed in many locations. (2) Sanitary facilities provided at several locations where no such facilities had been available by use of portable units. (3) A self-propelled work barge was constructed to provide easy removal of floats and the bridge at the Boardwalk, Bass Hole. (4) A surplus Army truck was provided by the Director of Civil Defense. This was equipped by Park Department personnel with a powered winch and boom and used at great savings of time and money to remove Park and Waterways floats, replace life guard stands, load and position poles, etc. Since the Department now maintains over 50 floats, most of them for the Waterways Committee, the availability of this equipment had eliminated the need for outside assistance. (5) The old building at Parkers' River Beach was torn down. The bathhouse areas had been closed for several years, the restrooms were dark and unsanitary, and the concession area offered no protection from vandalism and was broken into on many occasions. (6) A new well was installed at the Grey's Beach Picnic Area. (7) Our Park Manager was instrumental in the organization of a Cape Cod Park and Beach Manager group which is meeting monthly, coordinating policies, exchanging information and adopting uniform proceedures. 157 (8) Receipts from parking fees and concessions increased by over $3300 when adjusted for the loss of revenue from resident/taxpayer beach stickers which were consolidated and became beach -dump stickers under the Selectmen. (9) The program of furnishing gasoline to the Town Engineer, the Building Inspector and the School Department proved to be successful. (10) Maintenance of the lawns and plantings at the Town Hall and West Yarmouth Community buildings was taken over. During the year, one Park Commissioner, James L. Henderson, found it necessary to resign. In summary, the major advance in 1972 was the increased capacity to perform its functions without resorting to outside contracts. Walter H. Porter, Chairman Park Commission REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH POLICE STATION STUDY COMMITTEE The Town of Yarmouth Police Station Study Committee was appointed by the Selectmen on April 24, 1972 pursuant to Article 10 of the 1972 Yarmouth Annual Town Meeting Warrant. The Committee held its first meeting on Wednesday, May 10, 1972 and met regularly thereafter. The Committee met with the Police Chief, several police officers of the Town of Yarmouth Police Station and other town police stations, either jointly as a committee or through individual members. The Committee in all of its meetings was studying "the alteration of the present police station or the construction of a new one". Based upon its interviews, field investigations and meeting discussions, the Committee considered the areas of administration, detention and motor vehicle maintenance as the three basic elements making up a police station. • The Committee came to the conclusion that the police station should contain the following facilities: In the area of administration there should be a public lobby, public rest rooms, communications center, offices, duty room, small conference or interview room, squad room, locker room, and records and storage room. 158 The detention area should contain improved and expanded facilities and should include five (5) regular cells and one (1) tank for males; two (2) cells and one (1) tank for females; two (2) cells for juveniles; matron's room; booking room; and interogation room. The motor vehicle maintenance area, to be used for the delivery of prisoners and limited police vehicle maintenance, should contain three (3) motor vehicle bays. Provisions should also be made for an improved pistol practice firing range. The present Yarmouth Police Station has approximately six thousand seven hundred seventy (6,770) square feet of usable space including the basement, first floor and second floor. The Committee feels that the present police station is deficient in all three primary categories previously mentioned considering the present workload and department size and the projected Yarmouth population increase and consequent increased workload and department growth. After a review of all of the information received by the Committee including excerpts from the report of the "Survey of the Yarmouth Police Department" by Westinghouse Justice Institute, Arlington, Virginia, which affected space needs, and due consideration to the population centers and traffic conditions of the Town, the Committee feels that the present location remains adequate and logical. The Committee does not recommend the construction of a new police station as it believes an appropriate addition to and renovations of the present police station would make the building and department more efficient for the present and reasonably distant future requirements of the Town. The Committee believes an adequate police station consisting of the three basic elements can be provided by altering the present police station and expanding it with an addition of approximately four thousand five hundred (4,500) square feet of usable building area. The Committee estimates the cost of an addition with necessary planning and architectural fees would be in the area of one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.). The Committee estimates that a new building, including land acquisition, would cost at least five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.). The Committee feels that with an addition to the present building at a cost of approximately one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.) the Town would have nearly the equivalent of a new building at a cost of approximately five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.). The Committee recommends therefore: 1. That an addition of approximately four thousand five hundred (4,500) square feet of usable floor space be added to the present police station; 159 2. That the present police station be altered so that its facilities can be consistent with the use of the recommended addition; 3. That the Town create a Police Station Building Committee with a budget, said funds to be expended under the direction of the Building Committee for the preparation of plans and cost estimates for the proposed addition. As a result of our deliberations and work, the Committee feels compelled to go beyond its particular mandate and make the following recommendations to the Town; 1. That- the Town have a Municipal Building Study Committee to coordinate the use and expansion of all Town buildings with particular emphasis on establishing priorities for new construction, anticipating future land requirements and for controlling uncoordinated and unrelated expansion of existing facilities; 2. That consideration be given by the Town to joint departmental maintenance of all Town properties including land, buildings and vehicles. If the Town of Yarmouth had one maintenance garage for motor vehicles, the Committee would not have to recommend as many as three (3) bays for the police station. This is only one of the many obvious savings the Committee sees if there were joint maintenance provisions for all Town departments.

The Board called for nominations from the floor. Mr. Alexander Catto was nominated and seconded. Request for other nominations did not show any other applicants. The Meeting was requested to raise their hands to vote in favor for Mr. Catto. The vote was unanimous in favor of the election of Mr. Alexander Catto for a term of four (4) years. Meeting adjourned. Henry R. Darling Howard W. Marchant Board of Selectmen 1972 HARBORMASTER'S DEPARTMENT REPORT I am pleased to report that during the past year no fatalities or major accidents occurred on the water bordering the Town of Yarmouth. Our patrol boats were busy with rescue work due to the inclement weather. The total dollar value of boats assisted was $989,096.00. Nine people were saved from either sinking or overturned boats. Safety equipment and knowledge of the water should be the prime concern to the boaters of the Town. Bass River and Parkers River should be dredged this year with maintenance dredging annually thereafter. A small town -owned dredge could handle this; returning the sand to our town beaches from which it is lost during the winter storms. John L. Silver, Jr. Harbormaster 164 REPORT OF THE SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION To the Board of Selectmen: We are happy to submit our annual report for the year 1972. Once again our circulation has grown and we show an overall increase of 2,665 books, periodicals, and records circulated over 1971. As usual, July and August were our largest months due to the summer population explosion. CIRCULATION: Adult Juvenile Periodicals Records Total 36,862 7,397 1,262 268 45,789 Number of days open — 244. INVENTORY: December 31, 1971 15,305 Books added 1972 908 16,213 Discarded and lost 1972 467 TOTAL - December 31, 1972 15,746 During 1972, a partial inventory was undertaken of our book stock and we found that many books were missing. As far as we can ascertain, an inventory has not been taken since 1963. Now that we have made a start at this task, it is our plan to finish the job during 1973. Our pre-school story hour continues to be a success under the able guidance of Mrs. Silas Stowe and we plan to continue it in 1973. As a member of the Eastern Regional Library System, we continue ouruse of the facilities of the Falmouth and Boston Public Libraries for Reference service and Inter -Library Loan requests. We also make good use of the Depository at Lyceum Hall in Yarmouth Port which was set up by the Eastern Region in the Spring of 1972. Each library in the area is able to borrow books from this Depository to supplement our own collections and this is certainly most helpful especially during the summer months when our circulation grows so rapidly. We have made some improvements to the interior of our Library this year. The Main room was painted and some shelves were rebuilt. The ceiling in the Children's Room was refinished and a new window was installed in the bathroom of the second floor apartment. I have attended several meetings this year, including the New England Library Association Conference at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 165 in October. These continue to be most helpful in our efforts to supply more and better service to the community. Again ,we wish to thank many people for many .things: to Nancy Stewart, Muriel Stewart and Rachelle Stowe for their interest and fine cooperation; to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Annin for volunteering their services to the Library; to. Mrs. John Keary for the lovely. gardens; to the Yarmouth Garden Club for the plants and lovely decorations at Christmas time,; to Mrs. Maxtone-Graham, the Board of Directors, and the Selectmen for, their interest and cooperation and, of course—to our many patrons for their gifts of money and books and for their friendship. Respectfully submitted, Virginia M. Osborn Librarian January 1973 WEST YARMOUTH LIBRARY REPORT Board of Selectmen West Yarmouth, Massachusetts 1972 was again a very busy year for the West Yarmouth Library. 1,231 new books were added to our shelves. Of these 314 were adult fiction; 636 adult non-fiction; 175 juvenile fiction and 106 juvenile non-fiction. Our circulation for 1972 including adult and juvenile books, periodicals and records was 42,976. Our record collection now totals about 350 with 15 new, records added in 1972. The records have been under the supervision of Mrs. Louise Lawson. On April 1, 1972 our new library hours went into effect, increasing our opening hours from 12 to 221/2 each week. The additional hours have proved more than satisfactory to all our patrons. Once again our busiest months were June, July and August. The whaling collection on display has been admired by all users of the library. This collection was donated to the library by Isabel Harris Matterson the daughter of the late Dr. Charles Harris of Hyannis. In November the newly formed Yarmouth Garden Club started putting a bouquet of the season in the library. This has added a bit of color' and all persons viewing same have been pleased with the 166 arrangements. The Trustees and I are most grateful for -this thoughtful gesture on the part of the Garden Club. A "Talking Book" machine from the Library of Congress, Division for the Blind and Physically Handicapped has been acquired by the library: Any one in our area requesting information on this machine needonly call and I will be more than happy to give them any information. We have now completed a full year with our new addition and feel that it is being used to its fullest capacity. I have attended many meetings during the past year and as in other years have found them to be very helpful and informative. We thank the Selectmen and Taxpayers for their interest and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Eleanor E. Finn Librarian. YARMOUTH LIBRARY REPORT Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: 1972: It is with pleasure that we submit the following report for the year. Statistics Afternoons 18,965 151 6,397, Evenings 2,649 52 1,598 , Mornings 4,919 101 ` 904 26,533 304 8,899: Book Stock Additions Gifts Purchases 55 440 167 Total 495 From Eastern Regional, in 1972, we borrowed 200 books. We are grateful for this service. Borrowers are satisfied, shelf space and money are saved. Being able to borrow books and films from the Yarmouth Port Depository has been a blessing. Mrs. Bettie. Kreplick and Mr. Frank Finn, Jr. have been most helpful. We thank them. We extend our thanks to Alexander Buchan and Mrs. Paul Meyer for reviewing books in co-operation with the Book Committee. The Friends of the Yarmouth Library is still a very active organization. During the year nine meetings were held. The attendance has. been most gratifying. All programs have been interesting. National Library Week was observed from April 16-23. Open house. was held on Sunday, April 16th. This event was very well attended. During the week the exhibits were unique, the decorations unusual and the food delicious. The success of the week was due to the untiring efforts of Miss Emily Warner and her Committee, Mr. Everett Boise, President of the Friends of the Yarmouth Library and the Trustees. The Saturday morning children's group has had two special programs presented this year. During National Library Week the students from the Osterville Annex School entertained with two puppet shows and on December 23rd, Mrs. Jerome Wyeth presented a Christmas puppet show. The President and the Librarian attended several Workshops, the 'Cape Cod Library Club meeting held at East Falmouth, and the Massachusetts Library Association held at the Hotel Sheraton in Hyannis. Many new ideas were gained at each place; some we hope to put into practice in 1973. Because of the State Aid Grant requirements, the Library has been open 23 hours per week. The borrowers seem to be happy to have the Library open the added number of hours. There is now available, at the Library, a talking book machine (phonograph). This is a service for the handicapped and the blind. The machine was purchased by the Federal Government and 45 were distributed to the Libraries on the Cape. Applications are here to be filled out by the Applicant. To take part in the program one has to qualify and, preferably, have the signature of one's Doctor. These applications are sent to Mr. Kevin Smith at Cambridge and he contacts Perkins Institute for the Blind. Perkins sends the applicant a catalog and the applicant requests the titles. These talking book machines are usually borrowed for home use. If the machine does not arrive in a reasonable length of time the machine may be borrowed from the Library. Don't forget that we also have the large print books! To the other members of the Board of Trustees, to Mrs. Arthur Smith, assistant Librarian, to the borrowers and friends who have given 168 books, money and time, to the members of the Friends of the Yarmouth Library, to the Selectmen, to the members of the Finance Committee, and to the Taxpayers we extend our deepest appreciation for their continued interest and support. As our Eastern Regional poster says—"Try Us -You'll Like Us"— we hope! January 6, 1973 Respectfully submitted, Carl H. Bussey, President Martha U. White, Librarian REPORT OF THE VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL CAPE COD, INC.

A nurse from the staff of the Visiting Nurse Association is on hand to listen to individuals' questions about health and give assistance and guidance when needed. These counseling sessions are a community health service provided without a charge. The assistance given us by all town officials is appreciated. Respectfully submitted, Amelia. C. Beauregard Executive Director 169 REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL BOARD January 5, 1973 Submitted is the annual report of the Personnel Board for 1972. The Board has had a , very active year holding the total of 20 meetings. We held a joint meeting with other Personnel Board's on the Cape, we discussed the 18 month budget and the phase two program for this year. 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 for 1973, a five percent for the first 6 months of 1974. 2. A longevity program for all full-time employees. 3. Create position for Sign Maker in W5 category. 4. Create position of Clerk in the C2 category. 5. Create position of Administrative Secretary in the C5 category. ' 6. Change Harbormaster Patrolmen to $2.65-$3.00 per hour. The Personnel Board wish to thank the Board of Selectmen and all employees for their assistance and cooperation. Respectfully yours, George E. Godding, Chairman Alfred R. Nelson, Vice Chairman Edward J. McGrath, Jr. Warren C. Nunheimer Thomas M. Hennessey Kathleen D. Johnson, Comm. Sec. GOLF COURSE COMMITTEE'S REPORT The Town of Yarmouth has owned and operated the Bass River Golf Course since 1953. In its first full year the gross income was approxi- mately $30,000.00 and our membership was 125. Now, some twenty years later, the course returned a gross of $181,354.00 and listed a membership of 817. With this increase in both revenue and memberships major changes have taken place. A complete automatic irrigation system, new tees and greens, and a general course improvement have been accomplished over the 170 years. This past year a major addition to our clubhouse is being completed. As a result of these improvements, we continue to maintain a course that is a tourist attraction and a golf course that all taxpayers can be proud of. Making all this possible is the result of the capable jobs our course superintendent, John Morse, pro manager, Walter Hewins, and their capable staffs have performed. A golf course has many tournaments and functions in a years time. We are fortunate to have a very active membership who willingly serve on the many committees necessary for a successful season. The commission would like to thank all those "great golfers" who are so necessary in this vital part of our operation. It is our intention to continue to maintain and improve your course and its facilities so it will maintain its stature as a major recreational facility of the Town of Yarmouth. Nye Crowell, Chairman Lloyd Simmons, Secretary Charles Ardito Freeman Cash Warren Geoffrion CENTRAL PURCHASING COMMITTEE Your Committee has traveled through the state to secure facts relative to this important matter. Two communities have been particularly helpful in investigating, namely Norwood and Waltham. These communities have a central purchasing program. The following two organizations have volunteered to assist in explaining a Central Purchasing Program. 1. Purchasing, Management Association of Boston, Inc., 185 Devershire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 2. New England Public Purchasing Officials Association, - 500 Arbor Way, Jamica Plain, Massachusetts Finally an investigation within Yarmouth—practices, procedures and actual costs are being studied. This committee requests an extension to the next Annual Meeting or special meeting for a final recommendation. 171 BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS REPORT The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1972. Present number of active services 9225 Services installed during 1972 709 Gallons of water pumped 730,387,384 Approximate number of miles of mains 230 As anticipated the water system of the Town of Yarmouth is continuing to expand at a rapid rate. By this time next year we expect to have 10,000 active services, an increase of nearly 100% since 1966. Water Department revenue for the year 1972 was $544,841.00, an increase of $84,455.00, over 1971. Total gallonage pumped was down about 10,000,000 gallons for the year, which is not surprising considering the amount of water furnished us because of the unusually rainy year. During the year Wells 1, 2 and 3 off Higgins Crowell Road were completely overhauled and new units installed. They will now furnish water at the same or higher rates of flow as when originally built. This work was so successful that the same program is being scheduled for Wells 4 and 5 off Long Pond Drive during 1973. This will be followed by the overhaul and refurbishing of the wells at the Union Street pumping station sometime during 1973 or 1974. Following the last annual Town Meeting immediate steps were taken to acquire the properties on either side of Higgins Crowell as voted by the townspeople. Some minor delays were encountered because of legal actions but these were overcome and the Town took title to the land. The Town Meeting will be asked to acquire additional wellfield property at this time. Two additional locations have been proven out as acceptable well sites, but there was insufficient time to do the necessary engineering work prior to the last annual meeting. During the past year two new wells have been constructed. One is located behind the Middle School property to the east of Higgins Crowell Road. The other is on property along the westerly side of West Yarmouth Road, just north of Buck Island Road. The plans and specifications for the pumping stations for these wells are nearly completed and it is hoped that construction can be started early in 1973. From a long range point of—view, perhaps the most important article in the 1972 Town Warrant was the $65,000 voted to start a complete inventory of the water resources of the Town of Yarmouth. It is hoped that a complete report with supporting data and charts will be available by Town Meeting. At this time, we can state briefly that a new up-to-date map of the town has been prepared from aerial photographs, two deep wells have been drilled to depths beyond 300 feet, a new 8 -inch well has 172 been tested off North Main Street, and considerable engineering and geological data have been correlated covering forty years of testing, construction and related work in the Town of Yarmouth. The Commis- sioners are requesting a second appropriation of $65,000 this year for the continuation of this study. The Commissioners wish to thank all those who have lent their support to the continuing operation and growth of the Water Department of the Town of Yarmouth. Frederick J. Thacher Roger G.

This program will be reflected on tax bills sent out in Spring of 1975. HISTORIC YARMOUTH PORT DISTRICT COMMISSION 1972 REPORT The commission held 12 regular meetings and 8 special meetings during the year. There were 51 certificates of approval issued, new buildings 18, alterations to existing buildings 25, permits to raze buildings 2, new fences 7 and signs 4. We wish to thank the residents of the District for being most cooperative. This has made our task of preserving the area much easier. John E. Harris, Chairman Trenor F. Goodell, Secretary Frederick C. Schauwecker, Jr. Alexander Catto Albert Neimi 176 REPORT OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE Weather predictions and budget forecasting have something in common. Factors that cannot be anticipated or readily evaluated seem to appear when it's too late to include their influences in the published predictions. For example, the unanticipated but welcome increase in state aid and the credit from the Dennis -Yarmouth regional account reduced the tax rate for 1972 nearly seven dollars from that determined by projection. The credit from the D -Y account is non -repetitive. This year our problems are compounded by the transitional 18 month budget with its built-in restrictions on the tax base for a third of the period, with certain limitations on the use of free cash, with the permanent loss of valuations on new construction for six months, as well as with the difficulty of departmental budgeting through six seasons. Benefits of the new fiscal year are not expected to become evident for 3 or 4 years. Possibly the legislature will act to modify the procedure as requested by the Selectmen's association and others to relieve an unnecessary burden on the taxpayers. However, at this writing we can only work with the present legislation. During the 18 month transitional period a moratorium on all expenditures not considered of the utmost importance to the immediate good of the town is recommended. While the operating departments must be adequately financed, some of the capital requests may well be tabled for action by the 1974 town meeting. Consequently, we are recommending to the Finance Committee and the 1973 town meeting the major items of capital expenditures as covered in detail in Appendix A of this report. Operating budgets continue to rise at a reasonably steady pace but may increase at a faster rate as new services are demanded. Included in this category in Table 1 are the operating budgets portions chargeable to Yarmouth by the regional schools, D -Y and Vocational, including capital levies. Operations consume a major portion of the tax dollar. Further appropriations are required to pay for past commitments, namely principal and interest on loans. More detail on school costs is indicated in Appendix B. The present schedule indicates that the town will borrow $3,490,000 between now and June 30, 1978. Of this amount $250,000 will be for a 5 year term, $640,000 for a 10 year term, and the balance of $2,600,000 for twenty years. During this period we will pay $1,131,100 in principal and interest based upon a 5% interest rate. In addition we will pay $3,176,300 on previous borrowing. The total debt payments from January 1, 1973 to June 30, 1978 (5% years) of $4,307,400 averages to $783,164 per year. Details of this borrowing can be found in Appendix C. 177 Capital requests. not recommended for borrowing total $2,810,880 for the five and a half years, an average of $510,342 per year. See Appendix D for details. A principal function of the capital budget committee is to analyze trends and needs in order to determine future revenues and costs and to estimate future tax rates. We are quite unable to decipher all of the "ifs and buts" that could result from political action or from variations in recent economic trends. It is hoped that any positive errors may be counteracted by negative errors. It is interesting to note that a change of a million dollars in the assessed valuations in 1972 would have affected the tax rate by $1.20 while an expenditure of $100,000 in excess of that appropriated would have cost $1.50 added to the rate. To put it another way, it would take a million dollars of new valuations to offset an expenditure of eighty thousand dollars in increased spending. For any borrowing voted by the 1973 town meeting, it is requested that loans not be consummated until after July 1, 1973. This will make necessary only one semi-annual interest payment during the transitional period, whereas a loan made before July 1st will necessitate a full years interest plus a principal payment. No action is suggested with regard to the stabilization fund for the 1973 town meeting. Its most efficient use is for school construction and since we are faced with another school project in the near future we recommend that it be allowed to grow with accrued interest for the later application. An element of cost that has not been included in our calculations is that of possible acceptance of the proposals of the Charter Commission as presented to the town in its draft form and discussed in a meeting of November 14, 1972. In our opinion, after some study, acceptance would appear to cost the town at least an additional $120,000 the first full year of application, over two dollars on the tax rate, and, of course, normal increases in subsequent years. It is the prerogative of the voters to assess the additional expenditure against any savings that can be explained in complete detail. While we realize that our town operations can be improved, it is our opinion that revisions should be undertaken gradually and to "make haste slowly". Quoting from a restricted pamphlet published by the First National Bank of Cape Cod in Orleans entitled "The Cost of Town Government on Cape Cod" in its foreword, "In these days of increasing complexities of financing the cost,ofgovernment at the federal, state and local levels, it is certainly refreshing`to-hote'that our towns seem entirely adequate to meet the daily challenge' to;maintain fiscal stability". The town office building, housing the townadministrative functions is already too small to properly accommodate the departments quartered there. The Engineering Department with essential records is located in a 178 damp basement area and is too limited in space. So also is the Inspection group. It stands to reason that files, maps and valuable equipment should be in a dry area above grade. Our growth has resulted in more employees, expanded administrative activities and more records. The Water Department requests more space, the Town Collectors office has become crowded as have others. Should the proposed Charter become effective, it would be necessary to rent space of private owners to put the additional personnel to work. Federal revenue sharing may affect our tax rates between $1.50 and $3.00 depending upon restrictions as to use. The restrictions are presently somewhat vague. We have included the lower figure in our projections. While we examine the near future for clues affecting our immediate tax burdens, we must also keep in mind those things which can easily escalate our costs considerably in the not too distant future. Ecology is the key word. Sewers and sewer treatment plants are among the improvements that will be necessary in a few years and may be mandated by health authorities. It is inconceivable that a large concentration of cesspools and septic tanks will not eventually foul our water supply. Growth at the rate we have experienced in recent years will produce that eventuality sooner than we will find comforting. The town dump is still a problem since the operation does not conform to state standards. Hopefully a reasonable and lasting solution will be found soon. Town versus regional operation is under study with proponents and oponents at somewhat of an impasse. While we do not want the refuse of others neither does anyone else want ours. Tons of garbage, plastics, glass, cardboard, foil and paper and many more tons of stumps, brush and building scrap resulting from rapid development pose a real problem.

Note: Dates shown are those of the town meeting at which action will probably be requested. $39,000 73. stallation. $1,184,880 the John Simpkins the West Yarmouth APPENDIX B Since school budgets account for such a large part of the town's total budget, this appendix is devoted entirely to the general subject of 182 schools. Yarmouth school budgets for the past several years have been increasing at an average annual rate of 22 percent. At this rate school operating costs double in three and a half years without consideration of capital outlays. Also, the rate is much greater than that for any other operating department. Taking a look at the regional operations and budgets, these activities, Dennis -Yarmouth and Technical, levy upon each member town that town's share, by agreement, of capital and operating expense. The budget includes cost of operation, principal and interest on loans, and credits from state and federal sources. The regional activity is a mini -government in ordinary matters. As for the Yarmouth schools, no grants or gifts are made to the school administration. All such amounts are paid to the town treasury. These payments are a portion of the "net credits" shown in Table 1. According to a study by the Yarmouth School Building Needs Committee, there are three school construction projects in the offing; one immediately, another in 1975 to 1976 year and still another at an undetermined but not distant time. The immediate need is for an addition to the West Yarmouth Elementary School for an estimated $500,000 which may be borrowed and is so recommended. Action on this project will probably come before the 1973 town meeting. The second project is a similar addition to the South Yarmouth Elementary School at an estimated cost of $600,000 on which a loan is recommended. It is anticipated that an appropriation will be asked for in 1975. The tax impact for the two school proposals is shown in Appendix C. In . addition to the two additions, it would appear that a new elementary school of 24 rooms, more or less, will be required in from 5 to 10 years. The John Simpkins School is in need of major repairs in order to meet state requirements. This includes new ceilings, wiring, fire alarm modifications, sewage disposal, and leakage correction. The total cost is estimated at $99,980 of which $84,880 is indicated for immediate action by the 1973 town meeting. The remainder is scheduled to be deferred until 1974. The tax impact is shown in Appendix D. The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School requires a substantial addition with a price tag of 6 to 7 million dollars according to latest information. The effect upon Yarmouth's tax rate at the higher cost figure will probably be $1.50 for the period ending 6/30/74, $4.50 the next year an average decrease of about 33 cents each year through the time span of this report. These figures are included in this projection. The Cape Cod Regional Technical High School is expected to hold a Type N election to ask for authorization to construct the school at an 183 approximate cost of $10,000,000, of which Yarmouth's share will probably be $2,000,000. The tax impact is estimated to be $2.18 for the fiscal period ending.6/30/74, $3.04 for the next year, decreasing 20 to 23 cents annually in this reporting period. Exact costs will be affected by the number of students from Yarmouth related to the total attendance. Further modification of costs may be effected by special arrangements pertaining to vocational schools. For school construction projects the state participates by 50% of the total cost including principal and interest. A regional entity receives grants and gifts and shows them as credits in their budgets. A town,however, must appropriate the total cost and the state grants are paid to the town treasury annually. For example, Yarmouth will appropriate $500,000 plus interest (assumed 5%) of $262,500 for the West Yarmouth Elementary School addition. The state will pay to the town treasury one half of this amount annually as the bond payments come due.

Along with our regular classes the men have an afternoon for their card games which include bridge, poker and a cribbage tournament that has been quite popular this past year. Thursday afternoon the Bazaar group works busily for their forth -coming "Fairs." Friday afternoons are open for bridge and all are welcome. Classes at the Center this past year included Oil Painting, Tray Painting, Crewel and Rug Hooking. A Lip Reading Course for Senior Citizens taught by Mrs. Ruth Nickerson was held at the D -Y High School for ten weeks. When the regular town sponsored classes were completed for the year, the Barnstable Extension Service offered us classes in rush seating and beginning and advanced Sewing which took us well into the summer months. Some of our oil painters and crafts people turned out royally to exhibit their art in the Downtown Hyannis Association Senior Citizen Week. First, second and third prizes were awarded to some of our senior citizens. In August our crafts, crewel, tray painting and oil painting students featured an exhibit in Carleton Hall for the Dennis Festival Days. The Josiah Dennis House had many of our crewel students exhibiting at their "open house" last August. Various groups have formed from our registrants at the Center, one being the Mixed Chorus which is going strong with 53 members to date. They have given 25 performances over the past year to various nursing homes and civic groups. The Square Dancing group meets every Monday at the Congregational Church in Yarmouth throughout the entire year. A small Orchestra has formed and they rehearse at the D -Y High School once a week. The newest group formed is the "Singles" (people without mates). They meet every month for luncheon and a business meeting. The dedicated assistance provided the Director by the many Volunteers gave untold help in making 1972 a gratifying year. Total registrations from Dennis and Yarmouth are 4,765. Gordon D. Gilbert Vice -Chairman 186 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMITTEE During the first three months of this past year our school committee was lead by Joel Wolfson, Chairman, (Yarmouth) and Bernard Klingen- stein, Vice-chairman, (Orleans). During our regular yearly organization meeting in April, R. Arthur Williams was elected Chairman (Barnstable), and Oscar W. Doane, Jr., Vice-chairman (Yarmouth). This has been a year of rapid progress in the development of the planning for Cape Cod Regional Technical High School. It seems good to see activity on our site located in Harwich at the intersection of Route 124 and the Mid -Cape Highway. We.have renovated the one existing building on the 64 -acre site into offices for our administrative staff. The craft and professional advisory committees for each of our twenty curriculum areas have been of great assistance in developing a realistic and desirable program and laboratory for their particular skill area. At our introductory meeting the Cape Cod Standard Times reported that the 200 people in attendance were the largest number ever assembled on the Cape to plan a school. These advisory committee members have met with our staff and the architect and have given written recom- mendations for consideration and adoption. As a school committee we have agreed not to come to the voters until we have a firm bid in hand and can then give you the actual cost for constructing Cape Cod Tech. This figure will be available in late January and we plan to ask for your vote during the latter part of February to authorize construction. You have voted for our school twice before, first for authority to form the District, and second for the bonds to purchase the land and pay the architect. We hope you will approve of the results from the tremendous amount of work that has been spent in planning this school and authorize our committee to sell bonds for its actual construction. The undersigned are your local representatives serving on the largest school committee in Massachusetts. Our twenty-two members represent the eleven towns from Barnstable to Provincetown. Serving on the committee has been a challenging and rewarding experience. We pledge to continue to do our best to be worthy of the confidence placed in us by appointment to this important group. Oscar W. Doane, Jr. Richard O. Staff 187 BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT 1972 ANNUAL REPORT The year 1972 has been one of expansion and changes. Mary Susich retired as County Health Officer on January 31st and an acting administrator, Esther G Howes, was appointed until July 1st when she became County Health Officer. There has been a replacement in the position of Junior Sanitarian. There are now four staff working with the State funded Handicapped Children's Clinic. There has been a vacancy in one of the two Nurse Director positions since February. There have been reclassifications of 5 positions in order to bring salaries into line with current local and state guidelines. Four new positions had been requested but were not made available. The one Nurse Director has been able to provide consultation and supervision to some 64 public health nurses who work in schools and Home Health Agencies. Considerable emphasis has been placed on helping the professional advisory committees and the nurses in the Home Health Agencies so that standards of care and appropriate agency policies are available, and state and federal guidelines are met. Educational programs have been provided regularly in order to improve quality of care and to provide for expansion of services; cooperative planning has involved the local chapters of voluntary health agencies. The development of more comprehensive school health services has been continued, for the third year in one town, and for the first year in another. This work has begun with a restatement of the purpose of health programs in schools, a request for a waiver of certain state regulations in order to implement a different program, and has led to efforts to identify children's individual needs early, to develop systems of carrying out important screening techniques, and to arrange coordinated planning for children with special health needs. School systems are being encouraged to look at the responsibilities of school nurses, and roles of school physicians, at policies pertaining to the administration of medication and treatment at school, at the differences and similarities in the processes in health services and in health education. Medical Social Work emphasis this year has been directed towards the improvement of communication between the Department of Publich Health, the Department of Mental Health, and the Department of Education in order to provide the best services possible to children with physical handicaps and other special needs. As the agency delegated by the state to recommend licenses to nursery schools, and as administrator of the Handicapped Children's Clinic, the Barnstable County Health Depart- ment is in a unique position to do this. Meetings have been held with the staff of the Cape Cod Mental Health Center, the Association for Retarded Children, local Home Health Agencies, public health nurses, local school 188 nurses, and directors and teachers of the Cape Nursery Schools. This has been done in an effort to help plan for children already in the Public Schools and those who will be future students. It has been necessary to add an additional Social Worker to the staff this year to work with the Handicapped Children's Clinic and as a result it has been possible to make pre -clinic visits to almost all of the new patients admitted to the Clinic. The Social Work staff have served over 120 families in 1972 and as a result have become aware of the increasing need for a Family Service Agency on Cape Cod. The Social Workers have been active in many local and state planning groups and have taken continuing education courses throughout the year. The Handicapped Children's Clinic staff includes four state funded positions; a physical therapist, a medical social worker, and two secretaries. Services now include not only orthopedic consultation and treatment, but pediatric assessment, and neurologic consultation and treatment including referrals to a Plastic Clinic and arrangements for hospitalization and out-patient care at New England Medical Center and at Mt. Auburn Hospital. Children up to the age of 21 years are seen when referred by their family physicians. 323 children are now being followed, the majority referred by their family physicians. 323 children are now being followed, the majority have multiple problems involving the need for periodic re-evaluation, treatment, special equipment and surgical inter- vention based on their progress, development and age. It is now possible to provide progress reports to the family physicians and to the schools when indicated. They physical therapist also has provided much consultation to school nurses and physical education teachers so that the special needs of the these handicapped children can be met at school, and so that no child will miss the opportunity of having appropriate physical education activities. She has assisted one school in an experimental posture screening and remedial program, and an illustrated instructional booklet has been prepared for teacher use. Scoliosis screening at appropriate age levels is now in effect in two school systems and could be developed in others. The Dental Hygienist has continued to provide dental health education and consultation service to parent groups, nurses, teachers and school programs. Motivating children to good oral health practice and educating the public in the prevention of dental disease must be done as long as dental caries continues to be a top priority public health problem. Direct services such as screening and topical fluoride programs were limited to pre-school children and Head Start programs. During the summer months fluoride clinics for children entering school in the fall were held in two towns. Plans to continue an epidemiological research study of tooth enamel to determine the fluoride content are pending for the coming year. This 189 study will be conducted in the Barnstable School System in conjunction with the Barnstable County Health Department and the Forsyth Dental Research Center. Environmental Health Report: Inspections are being carried out as provided by the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code for eating establish- ments, swimming pools, recreational camps, tent sites, and local sewage systems. This was the year of the "Red Tide" which caused heavy economic losses to the shell fishing industry on the north shore but no fatalities. "Red Tide" refers to the presence of the organism, gonyaulax, which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning. In handling this situation we received excellent cooperation from the Boards of Health, Shellfish Constables and Police Departments. This is the first emergency that we can recall where an organization was formed in a matter of hours to cope with the situation. This should be further developed for emergency use in the future. This year we have expanded our laboratory activities to include examination of shellfish and expanded chemical examination of water and sewage. ******** The remodeling of office areas and of the Health Department laboratory has meant some inconvenience; the additional office space now provides more privacy and efficiency in operation. Additional office equipment and laboratory equipment is planned for. In reviewing goals for this year we had given priority in strength- ening staff and services in Environmental Health, and Medical Social Work and reclassification of staff positions. We must continue this in the coming year also. 1972 Department Personnel included: Esther G. Howes, R.N., M.N., M.S., County Health Officer and Certified Health Officer Ruth J.

Modern schools are striving in numerous ways to capitalize upon the findings of research in child development, teaching techniques, and the learning process, as well as to keep the curriculum contemporary. At all levels of the Dennis - Yarmouth Schools, new instructional ideas and new materials are being implemented to aid learning. Innovation and change, combined with the solid ground work of the past, have produced an interesting year. We have had an exciting one with many changes deliberately made, some surprises, and a few disappointments. Teachers, administrators, specialists and service personnel have worked to make it a better year; wider in scope, deeper in understanding, richer in experiences for the nearly 5,000 students working to educate themselves in the Dennis and Yarmouth schools. The various sections of this report sample what is happening in our schools. It is my hope that it will provide you with a better understanding of the nature and intent of this school program. PROGRAMS Several new programs have been introduced into our school system. At the Regional High School we have attempted some of the following: In -School Tutoring: For the first time, D -Y has a student tutoring program designed to meet the needs of the students who have learning difficulties in specific subject areas. Directed by Mr. Robert Haskell and coordinated by Mr. Wayne Bergeron, this program has proved successful in raising grades and deepening an understanding of the subject matter for many students. Approximately 25 students, grades 9-12, are responsible for tutoring some 20 pupils. These numbers are enlarging as the year progresses. Students in need of tutoring enter the program through referral by their guidance counselors, referral by their teachers, or by meeting with Mr. Bergeron on their own. Students are then paired with tutors. The tutor, informed of the specific needs of the student, is to draw up a lesson plan before each tutoring session. The lesson plan is comprised of objectives, procedures, and impressions of the session completed after the lesson. This plan is submitted at the end of each day so that a progress report may be 194 kept. Hopefully, credits toward graduation will be given for both the tutor and those being tutored. The program benefits not only those being tutored but also the tutors themselves. It is a learning situation for all involved. Out -of -School Tutoring D -Y has a new tutorial project in which students will assist teachers in the process of educating fellow students. Most research indicates that this type of experience is beneficial to both parties involved. The program began the first week in October, and in a brief time, has grown to include 65 tutors. These students are participating in classroom activity in the following schools: Mattacheese Middle School, South Yarmouth Elementary, John Simpkins School and the Ezra Baker School. It is hoped that in the near future the Wixon Middle School will also be included. The reaction of those involved is that the tutoring experience is wholesome and positive, and that expansion would be beneficial. However, a transportation problem does exist. It is imperative that a systematic form of transportation of students to their tutoring assignments be made available so that the program will be able to accommodate the large group of pupils who are currently expressing an interest. Work -Study Program Students at D -Y now have the opportunity of pursuing career - related jobs in a variety of fields while enrolled in a regular academic program. The idea of work-study centers on opportunities within the local community. Students are advised of available job openings with a local employer and make arrangements through Mr. Bernie Holmes, work-study coordinator, for participation in the program. Eligibility for enrollment is designed to promote responsibility on the part of the student and provides periodic evaluation by the employer. Students must have passed the sixteenth year and must agree to enter a school approved contract which stresses the idea of responsible participation. The program, which already includes some 116 students, involves such jobs as working locally for dentists, lawyers, landscapers, and a variety of retail training programs. The work-study provides a valuable learning experience for the student with the cooperation of the school and the community. Drama This year, a course in Drama was introduced to the curriculum of D -Y. Three courses are now available on an elective 195 basis, they are: Humor on the American Stage; Modern Drama and Modern European Playwrights; Greek Tragedy. In addition to these three courses, students are involved in producing several plays during the course of the school year. We have also embarked on a program with members of the community in a production of some of our plays. It is hoped that eventually a full community theatre will evolve from this curriculum movement at the High School level. Big Brother and Big Sister Program In January, a program will be initiated in the Regional High School making Senior High School students available to work with younger Elementary students, providing them with companionship that may be absent from the home. The young Kindergarten or First Grade age boy, who is fatherless, can derive a great deal of benefit from the companionship of a male figure. As a result of this relationship, boys have greater emotional adjustments and progress more rapidly in school. It is our intent to have our High School students involved in this kind of service activity for the children of the community. Business A new course entitled, "Speedwriting," for one semester, available to students in Grades 10 through 12, will be offered in the Fall and in Summer School, 1973. This new course is a system of phonetic writing based on alphabetic characters whereby words are written just as they sound. Through the use of dictation, the student is able simultaneously to build up writing speed and to take notes as easily and naturally as longhand. This course should be helpful to students in lecture courses and to those students planning to attend college. Physical Education Several activities have been added to the Physical Education Program this year. Some of these are in -class activities, others are of the intramural variety, and others are in the area of interscholastic athletics. The following areas have been added to the Physical Education Program in a significant manner: During school hours intramural program. Student -leader course for those interested in pursuing a career in Physical Education. Electives for the Juniors and Seniors. Intramural activities, such as wrestling, weight -training, girls' cross-country, girls' broom hockey. 196 Interscholastic activities, such as girls' gymnastics and boys' tennis. The school is now offering one of the broadest Physical Education programs on the Cape. Guidance We have an additional counselor this year, Miss Faith Willard, bringing our total to five counselors per approximately 1450 students. For the first time, a department of Pupil Personnel Services has been organized for the three school districts. This department now encompasses the school nurses, counselors, learning specialists, reading specialists, transitional teachers, work-study coordinator, school psychologists, and all others who offer special services to students outside of the classroom. Entire staff meetings are held monthly for an interchange and sharing of information in order to effect improved services for our students. A student -faculty advisor system has been put into effect, whereby a faculty member assumes the role of helper and offers support to an individual student. Computer scheduling and report cards were also effected this year. Evaluation of the High School The report of the NEACSS visiting committee to D -Y during October 16-18, 1972, has been communicated to Dennis and Yarmouth residents, at least either partially, or entirely, by the news media and word of mouth. As a result of that report, the following is a summary of the things "we" - - students, faculty, administration, parents and/or residents - - should be doing in order to remain an accredited secondary school and to continue to offer an excellent high school program: 1. We should be eliminating the overcrowded conditions at D- Y. 2. We should be considering ways to reallocate space in our present building so as to immediately increase the capacity of the library and other school -work -oriented areas. 3. We should be exploring different ways to organize the school day given the realities of an overcrowded school plant and the necessary attitudinal, behavioral and curricular changes which must simultaneously occur, - - e.g., conventional double session, extended school day, variable schedule, etc. 4. We should be evaluating our present instructional techniques as well as setting up systems of evaluation for any new instructional methods or organizational designs. 197 5. We should be looking at our curriculum with respect to its effectivness for all students, particularly as it relates to the development of skills and academic continuity. 6. We should be working on specific recommendations suggested by the committee for each department within the school. These are detailed and will not be listed here, but may be acquired by communicating with the head of any department at D- Y. We have already begun work on some of the above and with the Program of Released -Time - - students will be leaving D -Y early one day per week while the staff remains to "think, discuss, develop and do" - - we intend to begin work on all of the above as well as renew ourselves with respect to the whys and hows of educating today's youth. Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School The study of Spanish was introduced into the curriculum at the Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School this year. Students now have the choice of French or Spanish for a foreign language. With changes in scheduling procedures a more flexible program is underway. These schedule changes allow for more innovative practices such as team teaching, contract study and interdisciplinary study. Teacher planning also becomes more effective under the new format. It is our intention to implement further program changes in the coming year in order to provide the best education for all. The year 1973-74 promises to be an important year in the life of the Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School. During the next school year we will undertake an intensive self -evaluative study in preparation for evaluation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges during the year 1974-75. Mattacheese Middle School The needs of all children in Reading classes at the Mattacheese Middle School are met through individualized Reading programs which emphasize differentiation of instruction with regular and systematic evaluation of the student's performance to ascertain his effectiveness in reaching goals established by and for him. In striving for more individualization of instruction, Reading teams have been formulated. With team instruction, varying degrees of openness within the classroom have resulted in the establishment of learning centers equipped with a variety of hardware and software. By aiming at purchasing a greater variety of materials in lesser quantities and utilizing teacher skills of 198 individualizing them, the program reaches the varying levels and needed skills of each child. A pilot program was introduced to the Math curriculum this year. Seventh and Eighth grade students in Track II have been grouped heterogeneously. They are working on an individualized Math program. Each child progresses at his own speed and works with his peers. The Math teachers in the Mattacheese Middle School, with the assistance of Mr. Drake, are writing a program that is suitable to the needs of these youngsters. Results for the first three months have been gratifying. A new program, called SCIS, was initiated for Grade 6. SCIS is a laboratory oriented program. Children, more or less, stay together doing the same thing, and there is some lecture connected with it. Usually, they have a new activity each day and it is a self - learning program. We do not tell them how the experiment must come out. When the experiment is completed, those who differed realize they have made a mistake and must go back and do the experiment again. The strength of the program is that it is a self - learning program. In the Sixth grade they study the Echo systems and electrical models. We are currently studying the possibility of restructuring the Middle School program into interdisciplinary teams. At the present time, we are running an experimental program and hope to continue this approach through the Sixth grade level next year. The intent of this program is to give greater individualized attention to each of the students, caring for the individual's particular educational needs. West Yarmouth Elementary School New Approaches at West Yarmouth Grouping among pupils of each grade is more fluid than formerly. Reading classes are still planned by ability grouping or "levels" of ability. For the first two grades, pupils are also grouped for Math in this way. This enables us to maintain small groups and to give individual attention for those pupils who require a more specialized or structured approach in these basic subjects. Except for the previously mentioned subjects, all classes cross levels and are heterogeneously grouped. In addition, an individualized approach is being used in some Reading and Math classes, particularly at fourth grade level. In the first grade area the teachers of two classes are trying a team -teaching "open" concept class for part of each day. The wall between the two rooms is opened, learning centers are arranged and the children work individually or in small groups under the 199 direction of Miss Jones and Mrs. Banks who plan their work as a team. Approximately 55 children are involved in this program. The Kindergarten, using the former large group instruction area, are enjoying their second year in an "open" classroom. The room lends itself beautifully to this situation. With the teachers and aides working together, pupils may go to class groups for those lessons requiring a structured approach or break into smaller groups in moving to the various centers. The recently added carpeting adds greatly to the beauty of the room and to the comfort and smoothness of the program. Another approach to learning is offered to the fourth grade on one afternoon each week when "mini courses" are offered. Each pupil has been given an opportunity to choose among the following activities: 1. Chorus. 2. Art. 3. Drama. 4. Handwork (knitting - embroidery) 5. Chess and checkers. 6. Photography. 7. Soccer - floor hockey - baseball. A pupil is required to stay in the activity he chooses for approximately eight weeks. He is then given an opportunity of selecting another mini -course. Teachers have been the mainstay of this program. We have one parent volunteer, whose help is greatly appreciated, and hope more people will offer to share their talents and/or hobbies with us. John Simpkins and South Yarmouth Elementary Schools Kindergartens are now all in large group instruction areas. The teachers are working as a team, meeting in an open class atmosphere. Each teacher has an area where the children come for Langugage, Math, and Science. The Kindergarten Staff has been working cooperatively with other districts and private programs and is continually re-evaluating its program to offer the best possible program to our children. You know one of the answers to quality education is one teacher to one student. We could never afford this because the cost is too high. For years, in education, the teachers have tried to spend some time alone with each child. In our Language Development classes, this has proven so successful, we are now doing it in our Transitional groups. In First and Second grade there are children 200 who have a great deal of difficulty doing some of the work. They need a longer time to do it. We have changed their program so that they are in groups of less than ten children. During the day the teacher may spend some time with ten children, five children, three children, or even tutor one child. We have a pilot program going on in the Fourth grade this year. We are trying to individualize the work of every child. Starting in September, 1972, each student's work was individualized in Reading, Language, and Math. Science and Social Studies were still done in groups. From September, 1972 to December, 1972, the child moved from teacher to teacher in their ability group or level. Starting in January, 1973, the children moved by homeroom or by blocks. There are two blocks: Reading -Language and Math - Social Studies. The blocks amount to two and a half (21/2) hours of instruction. The children are free to work at their own rate. The teachers and the administration are very excited with the success of the program. Sometimes we cannot give all experiences necessary to learning to a child in school, so we take the child or children to the experiences. We have done this with groups of Fifth grade students at the National Seashore Park in Eastham. For a week at a time, one Homeroom stays at the Eastham Coast Guard Station. There are always two teachers with the group and many parent volunteers. The educators who are involved are very interested in the inter -disciplinary approach to education. The children do not get so many minutes of a certain subject but are exposed to an experience that requires use of all their knowledge at a certain time. We hope in the future to give all Fifth grade students such experiences. Ezra H. Baker School Class organization in the Ezra H. Baker School is organization in transition. As such, it reflects overlapping and shifting philosophies. There is one constant, however, in the heterogeneity of class composition which exists uniformly throughout the school. Apart from this similarity the classes tend, in groups, to display a variety of organizational patterns. In Kindergarten through Grade Two, for instance, all classes are self-contained. One teacher is responsible for the academic instruction of all of the children in his class. Specialists assume the responsibility where art, music, and physical education are offered. 201 Grades Three through Five, with the exception of one section from each grade, use a departmental organization which permits each teacher to specialize in one subject area. This arrangement presupposes an efficiency and an excellence of instruction in each field not considered possible where one teacher teaches all subjects. The excepted sections comprise an open -class program which was initiated in September, 1972. The groups constituting the open class are taught by three teachers, each at this time being responsible for the academic instruction of one grade group. Their placement in the school's largest classroom provides an opportunity for multi -grade interaction and eventually instruction. The philosphy of the open class is gradually becoming understood, and practices based upon it introduced, by teachers in several sectors of the school, especially where self-contained classes provide the freedom for experimentation. I anticipate that this spread will continue, stimulated on the one hand by growing teacher awareness of the value of open class methods and on the other by administrative encouragement and leadership. As the complexity of our civilization increases, bringing upon people an inexorable demand for change, the concept of the school as the sole purveyor of knowledge must also change. It has been reported by some writers that already children are learning more outside than they are inside school. It follows then that the practice of constant lecturing can no longer enjoy the success it may have known in more stable eras. This does not mean that the lecture method will not, or should not, be used. Its use, however, in such environments as the open class, will be much curtailed. Children will be freer to pursue their own interests; they will be permitted to move at their own pace; they will assume some responsibility for their own education. The teacher instead of talking to whole classes will be conferring with, assisting, and guiding individuals. Any teacher thus occupied will find it necessary to maintain a close relationship with each child, knowing him as a person and concerned for his welfare and development. The child, seeing that someone else has a feeling for him and his problems, can only profit from a heightened self-image. He no longer fears failing nor hates school because of it. The burden of meeting some faceless authority's arbitrary expectations is removed, and the child is freed to examine his world in the way that his own requirements direct. The chance to channel his interests, make decisions, accept responsibility, and alter his directions, will better prepare him to see the future as a challenge, not a threat, and to adjust to its 202 changes with ease and assurance. Simply stated, the philosophy of open education tells us that the child is a person with particular needs and aspirations and that his education should be guided by the constant desire to help him to a full realization of his worth as an individual and to the most satisfying employment of his unique potential. The remaining class, a transitional group between Kindergarten and Grade One, known as the Pre-primary Class, is also open in its concept and room layout. Interest centers meeting several needs provide a variety of learning experiences for children whose attention span, at best, is very short. The informed approach is perhaps the only workable one for the demanding mission of the Pre-primary class, now in its successful third year. The more spacious quarters at the Middle School permitted the formation of a third Kindergarten section and the employment of a third teacher. The Kindergarten is now composed of six classes, three meeting in a morning session and three in the afternoon. In adding another remedial reading teacher, a tutor for the hearing impaired, and an adjustment counselor to the staff, the school has greatly enhanced its capacity to serve children with special needs. More and more we are able to discover impediments to a child's learning in the early days of his education and to work for their removal before they become insurmountable obstacles. Elementary Guidance and Counseling September 1972 marked the beginning of an Elementary Guidance and Counseling Program in Dennis and Yarmouth Schools. The first Elementary School Adjustment Counselors were appointed to the Staff. Thus far, it has been a very busy and productive department. Parents, faculty, administrators and children have been working cooperatively with this department in the best interest of our children. The role of the Elementary Adjustment Counselor is many- sided: the emphasis is focused on the individual child as he relates to the total school environment, academically, emotionally and socially. The goal of the Elementary Guidance Department is to help the individual child (as all children) spend his time in school in an appropriate and profitable manner. By participating in successful and satisfying school experiences, it is hoped that each child will gain personal satisfaction and a sincere desire to learn. In an attempt to accomplish this goal, the following procedures may be used alone or in combination: 203 1. Parent conferences. 2. Psychological evaluation. 3. Educational assessment. 4. Individual counseling. 5. Case conference with pupil personnel team and staff members on a regular basis. 6. Combined case conferences with Community referral agencies. 7. Collaborating with community services. 8. Evaluation and coordination of Special educational programs. 9. Placement of children with special needs. 10. Group testing and test interpretation. 11. In-service staff training. Special Education In the past years, students residing in the Dennis and Yarmouth area, suffering from varied forms of intellectual or emotional handicaps, had been sent out of the District to specialized centers. Not only were these centers costly in terms of tuition and transportation, the students themselves were deprived of all right to associate with their own neighborhood friends. It is the present philosophy of the school system, supported by the State Department of Education, that all children should have an opportunity to attend public schools and derive benefits from those schools. We have, therefore, developed special programs on a Kindergarten through Grade 12 basis and have brought these children back into the mainstream. Not only has this resulted in a school system's saving, but it has provided these children with a much more meaningful life. Skating Program This year, in cooperation with the Cape Cod Coliseum, a Skating Program has been developed as part of our Elementary Physical Education Program. This is in keeping with our philosophy that our Physical Education Program should be emphasizing carry-over sport activities. Coliseum instructors, Physical Education Instructors, classroom teachers, and parents, are all contributing time and training towards this solution of our Physical Education Program. To date we have seen a great deal of enthusiasm for this Program. Elementary Report Card - Yarmouth For several years it has been the feeling of the majority of the 204 teachers at both West Yarmouth and South Yarmouth that the system of reporting pupil progress was inadequate. If was felt that the report gave insufficient information of a pupil's actual accomplishment and in no way related this accomplishment to individual ability. The committee from each school was chosen to study progress reports used in other school systems and to evaluate these reports and also the suggestions submitted by the school staff. As a second step, these committees joined to compare results and to devise a final form. This form was presented by the chairmen of the committees, Mrs. Dorothea Murray from West Yarmouth, and Mr. George Cross from South Yarmouth, and by the Principals, Miss Small and Mr. Clarke to me. Following my approval, the final form was put before the Yarmouth School Committee in June, 1972 and given their approval. The present report rates each pupil's progress by his own ability and gives a picture of individual growth. Because we believe that close cooperation of school and home is essential to a child's success, the parent -teacher conference is required for the first marking period and is encouraged at other intervals throughout the year. Parent Conferences: This year, at the Elementary Schools, we initiated a new approach to the annual parent conferences. Rather than inviting parents to school one evening to meet with teachers, we established a series of grade level meetings to review the school program at each grade level with those parents involved. Following the general meeting, at which time the administrator and supervisors presented the school program, parents were invited to visit the classroom and observe their child and his or her teacher in action. The response to these meetings was excellent. We plan to continue them in the future years and expand the concept into the Middle School as well. It is our intent at these conferences not only to present school programs, but to listen. We hope that parents will come prepared to discuss any concerns that they have relative to our school program. This communication is not limited to our Open House Program. We are always soliciting comments from the community so that we can improve on the quality of our school program. Parent Volunteers The Elementary Schools, in both towns, have been working with parents from the communities who have been willing to assist 205 us in the daily operation of our school program. We have found this Volunteer Program to be most helpful and an important facet in allowing us to expand the quality of our Elementary School Program. Parents have volunteered help as: 1. Tutorial assistants in the skating program. 2. Aides, Art and Library classes. 3. General assistants to the School Principal and Staff. It is my hope that this Aide Program can be expanded in the next school year. Dennis Title I A seventeen thousand dollar grant ($17,000) was received from the Federal Government for a six-week Title I Summer School Program. Classes were held at the Ezra H. Baker School, where 100 students selected from Kindergarten through grade Six received specialized remedial instruction in either Reading or Mathematics. Small group instruction and individual tutoring assured significant gains in Math and Reading competency. In addition to the academic skills, cultural enrichment was provided through an inter -related program of Art, Drama, Music, and field trips to areas of historical and geographic interest. Cutbacks in Federal spending may result in lack of funding for a Title I Program for the summer of 1973. Yarmouth Title I A twenty-six thousand dollar grant ($26,000.) was received from the Federal Government for a six-week Title I Summer School Program. Classes were held at the West Yarmouth Elementary School, where 150 students selected from Kindergarten in either Reading or Math. Small group instruction and individual tutoring assured significant gains in Math and Reading competency, as indicated by comparing tests results of pre- and post-tests. In addition to the academic skills, cultural enrichment was provided through an inter -related program of Art, Drama, Music and field trips to areas of historic and geographic interest. Cutbacks in Federal spending may result in lack of funding for a Title I Program for the summer of 1973. Perceptually Handicapped Program Diagnosis of possible perceptual problems begins for the Kindergarten child before school starts in September and continues throughout the year, both by means of diagnostic testing and teacher observation. A preventive program at the Kindergarten and 206 first grade level is in operation. Children new to the system are tested and observed for perceptual problems. The child, once having been identified, is placed with a language disability teacher who then uses a structured, linguistic method stressing the visual, auditory, and/or kinesthetic approach, as indicated by the student's needs. Depending upon the severity of the child's handicap, he is placed in a one to one relationship, moving as soon as possible to a small group situation. Teacher Training Workshops During the 1971-72 school year, a Committee known as the Teacher Curriculum Council was formed, composed of three teachers; Mrs. Zigarmi, representing Dennis, Mr. McGourty, representing D -Y . Regional, and Mr. Eldredge, representing Yarmouth. Council members acted as liaison and advisors for Education Consultants, Inc., during their evaluation of the K-12 curriculum for the three school units involved. Upon the suggestion of the Teacher Curriculum Council, a series of programs featuring guest speakers of national recognition in the field of education, were planned to keep our teaching staffs up to date on innovative trends in education. Dr. James Mason spoke on open education in the British primary schools; Dr. Charles Richter, recognized for his leadership in the development of the middle school concept, addressed us on that topic; and, Dr. Robert McCarthy presented a talk on interdisciplinary teaching teams with block -time scheduling. In addition, approximately sixty of our teachers have been sent to one -day workshops in such specific areas as humanities, social studies, learning disabilities, reading, perceptually handicapped, and individualized instruction. We feel that exposure to such activities will assist our staff in keeping current with new trends and techniques in education. In -Service Courses for Teachers - Yarmouth The Yarmouth School Committee believes that a superior staff of highly trained teachers is the most important measure of a quality school system. The Committee has, therefore, adopted the policy of promoting and supporting in-service courses for teachers in specific subject areas of the curriculum. These courses are usually taught by department heads and supervisors or experts from nearby colleges and universities. Last summer a three and a half week institute in the Slingerland approach to reading was held at the West Yarmouth Elementary School and several of our Reading teachers were 207 enrolled, along with Reading teachers from surrounding communities. Mr. Drake, Math supervisor, is presently conducting a fifteen -week course for Math teachers which will assist teachers with the preparation of activities, projects, instructional materials, games, and puzzles related to Math instruction. In the fall, Mr. Eldredge, Science supervisor, will conduct a similar in-service course aimed at facilitating the implementation of our newly adopted Science curriculum for grades One through Six. Community Schools Perhaps the most generally accepted definition of Community Education is provided by Dr. Jack Minzey. He defines Community Education as "A process that concerns itself with everything that affects the well-being of all citizens within a given community. This definition extends the role of Community Education from one of the traditional concept of teaching children to one of identifying the needs, problems and wants of the community and then assisting in the developing of facilities, programs, staff and leadership toward the end of improving the entire community." If one accepts the above definition, Community Education is a process and not just a series of programs and activities. Additionally, acceptance of this definition implies that Community Education is a broad goal and the community school is but one vehicle toward achieving that goal. Thus, if Community Education is a process that involves people, it follows that the basic principles of Community Education should not be violated in the implementation of community schools. There should be a Community Education developmental process followed which is consistent with the philosophy of Cmmunity Education in that the consistent with the philosophy of Community Education in that the people who must live with Community Education are involved in life. In January of this year, the School Committees of Dennis, Yarmouth and Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School appointed Mr. James Davis to serve in the role of Director of Community Education. Mr. Davis will be assisted on a part-time basis by Mr. Albert Noyes of the Dennis School System. Under the direction of Mr. Davis, I will expect that area committees be established to determine community needs far in excess of our Adult Education Program. We then hope, in the months and years ahead, to establish the kind of Community Schools that will be meaningful to the people residing in our District. Our hope is that we will be able to totally serve the needs of our citizens and develop a most exciting and meaningful Community School program. 208 Space Needs We are experiencing a rapid population growth on Cape Cod, especially in the Dennis - Yarmouth region., All projections made to date indicate a marked increase in school enrollments. During the past year, the Dennis -Yarmouth Committees retained the services of a professional firm to validate past population studies as well as conduct an intensive study of future growth trends at the Secondary level. I highly recommend that all citizens make themselves aware of the content of that report. In part, that report states: "Any attempt to predict what will occur in the future must begin with an understanding of what has occurred in the past and an identification of those various factors which have shaped the outline of recent trends. Because of this, accurate forecasts of student enrollment at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School must begin with an analysis of what has occurred in the recent past, why this has occurred, and the degree to which these same circumstances will continue to exert an influence on future trends. These continuing trends are especially significant as they refer to those factors which influence migration patterns on the Cape and the various natural changes occurring in the population." "The previous flow of migration in Dennis and Yarmouth has been extensively influenced by economic conditions within the region. As an indication of this, Barnstable County has experienced a substantial increase in year-round economic activity in recent years, a 26% increase in first quarter (January - March) covered employment from. 1968 to 1971. The increases in year-round population growth has meant the strengthening of the service, retail, communications and manufacturing sectors of non -seasonal employment. Contributing to this increase in economic activity, particularly retailing and services, has been the growing population of retirees, who have a substantial income originating out of the County. In part because of the high percentage of retirees and because of the extent of summer employment which serves as primary income, total year-round population growth has grown disproportionately in relation to year-round employment. The availability of extensive parcels of land, formerly in farming or lying idle, for development in new home construction in Dennis and Yarmouth in recent years has provided the basic conditions for rapid population growth in single-family housing, and with it, the increasing scarcity of such land for future development. The difficulty in assembling the remaining parcels and problems in clearing land titles on many remaining properties may discourage large-scale single-family development, particularly in the lower - 209 priced housing categories. Larger lot zoning will probably also contribute to this. As these trends have been reflected in market price of housing, a discernible strong trend to apartment housing seems to be developing." "Even though extensive areas of both towns have been developed into residential areas recently, many holdings of large and moderate-sized parcels are planned to be developed in the near future. While increasing land costs will tend to limit the market somewhat among younger families, the availability of mortgage money and the trend to apartment living among younger families may offset the financial difficulties of buying a single- family home." "A survey of developers who build in Dennis and Yarmouth conducted by Hill, Miller, Friedlaender, Hollander, Inc., shows that new residential units now planned for development equal the number of units built between 1960 and 1970. Considering that housing units not now planned for construction may still be built within this time, the total units we estimate will be constructed (5853) should be considered a base to be revised upward (as well as the enrollment projections on which they are based). In general, the developers indicated in the survey that the market for all types of housing in the two towns continues to remain strong. The recent popularity of apartment residence has seemed to add to the strength of the market, particularly among native Cape young people, many of whom would otherwise be restricted in the home- ownership market." "An increasing percentage of new home construction has been in the year-round units in the two towns. While seasonal units increased 17% from 1960 to 1970, year-round units increased 146% during the same period. All indications are that this trend will continue. Yearly construction of dwellings has increased dramatically - almost exponentially - since 1968, which tends to correspond to a similar increase in employment within that time. In the seven years from 1961 to 1968, covered employment in Barnstable County increased at a rate of 4%, while in the three years from 1968 to 1971, the increase was 26%, a substantial difference, particularly when gained in the midst of a national economic recession." "These various economic trends for Barnstable County and Dennis and Yarmouth indicate that the economic forces generating recent activity will continue to occur at least into the near future, and with it the conditions increasing school enrollments." "Student enrollment is also influenced by natural changes in the population, that is, those changes not due to migration into or 210 out of an area. The major natural influences on student enrollment are the number of births in a town. Births in Dennis and Yarmouth have steadily increased, with fluctuations, during the past decade due, primarily, to the high level of in -migration which raised the base population level. This increase in births would have been substantially more except that the average number of children being born to women in the two towns dropped dramatically during the period, following national trends in the same direction." "In 1960, for instance, for every 100 women of child-bearing age in Dennis, approximately 11 children were born whereas in 1970 the average was 8 children per 100 women. For Yarmouth the comparable figures were 13 in 1960 and 9 in 1970. Due to the high birth rates of the 1950's a higher proportion of young women have come of child-bearing age, and thus will tend to modify this decrease somewhat. In the context of our projections, we have assumed a stable fertility rate in the towns, with an incremental increase in yearly births due to the continuing increase in population." "The rapid rate of residential growth in recent years in Dennis and Yarmouth has brought with it an increase of 123% in high school enrollment between 1961 and 1971. Contributing to this increase has been the relatively high birth rates of 13-19 years ago. The fact that K-8 enrollments increased by 89.5% during the same period is indicative of the influence of lower birth rates in recent years and their effect on school enrollments. Because of this, had there been no in -migration into the towns during this period, total elementary school enrollment would have been less in 1971 than it was in 1961." "From all demographic and economic indicators, the trends occurring in 1960-1970 will continue to exert similar influences on school enrollment in the decade 1970-1980 with slight modifications. Housing starts will be at least at the same rate as previously, though probably higher. Yearly birth rates will change to the degree that they will remain stable rather than continue to decline as they have during the past decade. The data on past, present and future trends thus suggest no dramatic shift in the social environment of the towns which would signal a significant shift during the next ten years in trends already in progress." Based on the above study, the enrollments for the Dennis - Yarmouth Regional High School is projected to be 2230 students in 1980, and by 1989 to have doubled its present enrollment of 1307 to 2654 students. In 1990, the enrollment is projected to reach 3488. 211 At the Elementary level, we see the following growth pattern : YARMOUTH Year Total K-5 Total 6-8 Grand Total 1972 1541 837 2378 73 1641 846 2487 74 1717 898 2615 75 1801 908 2709 76 1893 961 2854 77 1983 989 2972 78 2073 1028 3101 79 2163 1075 3238 80 2253 1120 3373 DENNIS Year Total K-5 Total 6-8 Grand Total 1972. 689 393 1082 73 734 412 1146 74 781 434 1215 75 845 446 1291 76 914 458 1372 77 986 467 1453 78 1058 495 1553 79 1130 528 1658 80 1202 564 1766 These projected student enrollments should be considered as the probable mean for erring on the side of being conservative. Coupled with this alarming growth rate is the need for specific learning space that does not now exist in some of our school plants. For example, a recent study of the High School by the New England Association of Secondary Schools cites the need for adequate Library and Physical Education space as one of the most critical problems at Dennis -Yarmouth. Our present space for the Library is totally inadequate. Physical Education classes must be conducted in extremely overcrowded conditions. At the present time we are renting additional space to accommodate our classroom needs. The need for more space at the High School has reached a critical point. I urge the residents of our community to support a new building program. We have spent over one year and a half studying the most economical approach to supplying this space and the taxpayer can be assured that all alternatives have been explored. We will continue to explore new approaches to house students as our population continues to grow. We have the same lack of facilities at the John Simpkins and the South Yarmouth complex. We have no Library space available. 212 Kindergarten classes are held in the Auditorium and other classes are conducted in every available bit of space in those two buildings. Students are crowded into basement rooms and some classes are conducted in space that was formerly storage closets. New facilities are needed to meet the Yarmouth enrollment increase as well as to correct existing deficiencies at this site. In Dennis we also have the problem of inadequate Library space for the Elementary School. The Kindergarten is presently being housed in the Middle School and enrollment trends show that the two plants now in existence will no longer by able to physically handle the projected enrollments. A new school is essential for Dennis. Year -Round Schools The practice of long school vacations during the summer months had its origin in our earlier agrarian life when children were needed on the farms and around the homes during the planting, growing and harvesting season; when the demands for organized educational experiences were less insistent; when children and youth had more opportunity than they now have to learn about work, to develop vocational skills and competencies, and to develop a genuine understanding of community through actual work experiences. And yet we hold on to this old school calendar at a time when the country, as a whole, is confronted with school building facilities which are grossly over -crowded or sorely lacking; and when there are insistent pressures on children, youth, and adults to learn more and to learn it better.- The almost universal practice of leaving school plants and teaching personnel idle at a time in our history when every available education resource is needed, should be carefully re-examined in the light of present circumstances and existing needs. During the past fifty years many proposals for extending the school year have been made. In several instances, programs have been actually put into operation and have continued to operate for a number of years with varying degrees of success. The necessity for using all available educational resources to the best possible advantage and the concern for finding ways to teach more and to teach it better, have stood out clearly in recent nationwide discussions of educational problems. These concerns have emerged neither because the schools have been extravagant or wasteful in the use of financial resources, nor because they have fallen short of established goals. Rather, they have emerged as overriding concerns because available financial resources, facilities, and personnel needed to be stretched to meet the demands currently placed upon the schools and because of the increasing 213 necessity for a well educated citizenry. If the signs of the times can be read with any degree of accuracy, they clearly indicate a need in the years to come, for more highly developed skills, more technical information, and a broader range of vision and understanding on the part of every citizen. It is toward these ends that much of the present day dicussion is directed. Meeting the needs of an ever-increasing number of children and adding new measures of quality to the educational program beyond what is now provided in most communities, will take more personnel. and indubitably call for more and better facilities and will cost more money. If educational programs in the future are to be better than the programs we now have, more money as well as time must be put into them. Better utilization of existing facilities and personnel through extending the school year, or through developing what is frequently called a year-round educational program, is a promising hope for achieving a more adequate education. To the practical minded citizen, the business man, or the anxious parent who desperately wants broader and better educational opportunities for his chidren, the year-round school makes a lot of sense. Why? 1. The school plant already exists, fully equipped and ready for use. 2. The overhead costs of administration continue to be approximately the same whether schools are open or closed during the summer months. 3. Fixed Charges. such as insurance, interest, and capital outlay remain fairly constant whether the schools are open or shut down. 4. The teaching staff - - the community's most important asset, is in considerable measure, already mobilized. 5. A large percentage of the children of school age are left without any constructive developmental programs during the summer months. The concept of a year-round school has been discussed and debated in recent months. The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee sent one of its members, Mr. Frederick Small, to a conference in Atlanta, Georgia, where the year-round school was studied in depth. Mr. Small come back to the Committee with the recommendation that further study be made of the year-round use of school plants for Dennis and Yarmouth. As a result of Mr. Small's recommendations, a conference was called for all School Superintendents and School Board members on Cape Cod to discuss the feasibility of year-round schools for this area. 214 To immediately implement a year-round program would spell disaster for its long-range success. Before the successful year-round program can be put into operation, a great deal of study and planning time will be required. Our School District has accepted the challenge, provided leadership in this study and will, in the months ahead, be giving serious consideration to the adoption of twelve-month schools for Dennis and Yarmouth and will work cooperatively with all other school districts for the development of such programs on Cape Cod. It is my firm belief that the twelve- month school should be given serious consideration and will definitely be adopted by the majority of school systems in our country in the years ahead. Regionalization For many years the subject of Regionalization has been before the citizens of this community. Many of the arguments have become emotional and void of fact. I strongly support Regionalization as a more effective method of managing the Dennis and Yarmouth schools. At present there is a great deal of duplication that could be avoided if these schools operated as one school system. Some of the myths surrounding Regionalization should be explored. • MYTH: Our children will be sent long distances to large impersonal elementary schools. FACT: Schools will continue to be constructed where the population warrants. Dennis can build and pay for schools in Dennis; Yarmouth can build and pay for schools in Yarmouth. Only if the population on the border line of the two towns warrants a neighborhood school would one be built for the children of that particular neighborhood. In that event, the cost would be shared as is presently being done at Dennis -Yarmouth. MYTH: The cost would be greater for one town because of the population pattern. FACT: Each town would keep its own budget as is presently being done. The only percentage breakdown would be for students sharing a school facility, i.e., Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School. MYTH: The larger town would be given more attention since the School Committee is weighed in their favor. FACT: The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee has been in existence for over fifteen years. Researching Minutes of the Committee, I can see no evidence of a student's or parent's residence ever affecting a Committee decision. School Committees are comprised of people with unusual dedication to children. I am confident the Regional Committee will act for the best interest of the child. 215 A report issued by the Massachusetts State Department of Education in 1968 stated that: "An educational program of quality must provide every child with access to programs above general and exceptional education. Access may be obtained either by bringing the student to the curriculum or bringing the curriculum to where the student is. Ideally, both student and curriculum would be located at the same place. In any event, it is to be hoped that all operating school systems will provide the students access to closely integrated comprehensive programs of education from Kindergarten through Twelfth grade. Therefore, all local school systems should be organized on a Kindergarten through grade Twelve basis in order to provide the necessary integrated program of education that individual students require." In a recent evaluation of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School, one of the major criticisms in that report was the lack of coordination in the Kindergarten through Twelfth grade program caused by lack of regionalization. The same State Department report defines an adequate regional district as one that may be generally described as a comprehensive program for two thousand or more pupils in Kindergarten through grade Twelve, administered by one Superintendent of Schools, assisted by .a coordinated professional and non-professional staff under a single representative school committee. They listed some of the advantages to be: 1. Offer more auxiliary and co -curriculum services. Students receive more special services, such as Guidance and Speech Correction and engage in a greater variety of educational opportunities beyond regular course offerings. 2. Provide greater economic services. 3. Assure better utilization of Staff. 4. Offer educational remedial assistance. 5. Employ sound business management procedures, centralized purchasing, unified budget, efficient transportation control, uniform salary schedules.

Wilson as a member. At the Annual Town Meeting in March, Frederick A. Small was elected to serve on the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee for a term of one year, to complete Mrs. Wilson's unexpired term. Effective January 1, 1972, the Committee voted that Leah Magurn be appointed Assistant -Treasurer of the District. At the Annual Meeting of the District, the following officers were re-elected: Richard L. Whipple, Chairman Dean B. Yount, Vice Chairman Harold L. Hayes, Jr., Secretary -Treasurer A Task Force, under the direction of Dean B. Yount and composed of townspeople, faculty members and students, began its labors - in conjunction with Hill Miller Friedlaender Hollander, a consulting firm. It was decided to rent space at 443 Station Avenue for the work of the Task Force. At a meeting on February 1, 1972, the Committee voted a credit of nearly $446,000 against the 1972 District budget. This amount was made up of various reimbursements, departmental revenue, and more than $14,000 in invested funds, and was undoubtedly a factor in the stabilization of the tax rate of the member towns. Because the District retained no Surplus Revenue, for the first time, we were forced to borrow in anticipation of revenue. The "new direction" taken by Dr. Murphy in educational objectives for the District gained favorable comment by the Department of Education. The Ford Foundation recognized the achievements of the Task Force and granted funds for student trips in this connection. With the school population estimated to be 1,800 in 1975 and 2,400 by 1980, it was apparent that no time could be lost in providing additional facilities. Also, with about twelve new teaching assignments necessary for the new "mod" scheduling and extra courses, expanded space requirements were inevitable. In May, the Committee voted to lease the building at 443 Station Avenue as an annex to the High School. With "shuttle busing," the District has been able to alleviate temporarily the problem of over -crowding. Following the accepted resignation of Wallace A. Johnson as Principal at the end of the 1972-1973 school year, the Committee sought applicants for the position of Director of Secondary Education. After interviewing several well-qualified candidates, we voted to hire Dr. Robert E. Kessler, whose educational background and experience - in both teaching and administration - are most impressive. Dr. Kessler, arriving at D -Y in September, has instituted many innovative programs, including the "Released Time 236 Program," which affords an opportunity for him to meet with staff members. For the first time, the school has a Work/Study Program, under the competent supervision of Ture B. Holmes. As of September 18, fifty-two work stations were involved, with about a hundred students participating. This is truly a manifestation of the "community and school working together for the good of the student." It has been recommended that additional credit be given to successful participants in this program. Following a self -evaluative study by teachers, an evaluation was conducted by the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in December. Instead of a ten-year accreditation awarded in 1962, a five-year accreditation was given, with follow- up reports to be submitted in 1973 and 1974. The major criticisms of the evaluators were in areas occasioned by lack of sufficient space. In other matters, the Committee has been occupied - with the cooperation of Dr. Murphy and Dr. Kessler - in preparing an eighteen -month budget, in conformance with recent legislation, which will result in a new fiscal year: July 1 - June 30, for towns and District. Included in this budget are estimated loan costs for a bond issue for new construction, so sorely needed. Committee members have attended seminars in connection with a year-round school, this being considered another solution to the ever-growing school population problem. Other benefits would accrue from a broader use of the school plant. The summer school program has been an effective demonstration of this concept, and 1972 was no exception. In the role of Trustee of the Scholarship Fund, the Committee has been pleased to acknowledge more than $1,600 in donations and has paid over $6,000 in scholarship awards. In June, twenty students were recognized by the Trustees as being worthy of these awards. Providing such assistance is a continuing privilege. As in the past, District funds have been fully invested, with a realization of nearly $8,500 in premium and interest earnings. It can be said, despite arduously long hours of effort, "It has been a very good year." Richard L. Whipple, Chairman Dean B. Young, Vice Chairman Harold L. Hayes, Jr., Secretary -Treasurer Gail H.

Those who have contributed to the scholarship fund during this period include the following: Brewster Post#9917, Yarmouth Trust Fund Commissioners, Massachusetts Federation of Nursing Homes, Ann Castonguay Memorial, Downtown Hyannis Association, American Legion Post#197, South Yarmouth Methodist Church, Friday Club, the D -Y Art Department, Peter Maxtone-Graham Memorial, and the Cape and Islands Chapter of the Mass. Retired Teachers' Ass'n. Scholarship disbursements on previous awards, together with initial payments, have totaled approximately $5,200.00. At Awards Night during Commencement Week in 1971, several graduates were honored by the Trustees. Two scholarships were granted over a four-year period, from the funds provided by the Yarmouth Trust Fund Commissioners; three, over a two-year period, from the General Scholarship Fund. Three awards were given from the Music Scholarship Fund, as well as two awards to students excelling in Art. The latter two were made possible from the Peter Maxtone-Graham Memorial Fund and from proceeds accruing as a result of the Art Exhibition and Sale. It is a most satisfying experience for the Trustees to be able - through the generosity and kindness of donors - to assist deserving students in their travels "through the realms of gold." We sincerely thank all who have contributed to this most worth -while phase of our responsibility. 246 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AS OF OCTOBER 2, 1972 BOYS GIRLS Dennis Yarmouth Dennis Yarmouth Total 12 52 111 54 122 339 11 60 99 62 107 328 10 74 127 75 138 414 9 66 127 60 129 382 Special Ed. 2 4 3 2 11 TOTAL 254 468 254 498 1474 Total Boys 722 Total Girls 752 School Enrollment 1474 247 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING WARRANT Commonwealth of Massachusetts Barnstable, ss.

GUILFOYLE, JR. We have lost a dear Friend and a valued Town Official. He has made a lasting mark on the Town of Yarmouth, as well as a challenge for all of us to live lup to. He was only with us for a little while, yet he did so much for all of us. His kind, understanding word, his Helping Hand, his ready smile will long be remem- bered. May his fine example always be with us.

The Chairman, Theodore Frothingham, of the Community Center Committee and Myer R. Singer, Secretary of the Yarmouth Police Station Study Committee read their reports which were accepted as follows: REPORT OF COMMUNITY CENTER COMMITTEE. Voters of the Town of Yarmouth: Ladies and Gentlemen. The 1972 Annual Town Meeting authorized the appointment of a Community Center Committee by the Moderator, Mr. James Quirk. The Committee was to investigate the possibilities of a Community Center for all ages from Senior Citizens to Youth. On April 7th Mr. Quirk appointed the following committee: Theodore Frothingham, Chairman, Everett W. Boy, Jr., Susan Colton, Ann Maxtone-Graham, Bernard J. McNeice, Robert W. Saben, Jr. and Dorothy M. Schoonmaker. The first meeting of the Committee was held Thursday the 13th of April at The First National Bank of Yarmouth in South Yarmouth. Mr. Saben was appointed secretary. Plans were made to see what could be 53 done in the way of immediate help for the overcrowded conditions faced by The Senior Citizens at their meeting place at the Methodist Church. Following the subsequent meeting, on April 25th, Mrs. Schoonmaker tendered her resignation and John Lee Marchildon was thereafter appointed to take her place. In June Judge Charles J. Ardito agreed to serve in an advisory capacity for the Committee. The Committee has held numerous meetings and the various members have done extensive research work and reported back on their projects. There were various aspects of the problem facing the Committee. In the first place the Town of Yarmouth is divided into three distinct areas, which are more or less independent. South Yarmouth, West Yarmouth and the North Shore (Yarmouth and Yarmouthport). Except for the fact that they are all included in the Town of Yarmouth, they might be considered separate towns. To serve the interests of all three area at a single location posses a problem. Secondly shortly after the Town Meeting a group of Senior Citizens decided to form a non-profit corporation to raise funds for a separate Senior Citizen's Center Building for the use of both the Towns of Yarmouth and Dennis. The group is now some 2000 strong and they have done praisworthy strenuous work to raise funds toward this end. They definitely want a separate building for the Senior Citizens rather than joining in any cooperation for a general Community Center. The Committee decided to make up a questionnaire to probe the wishes of people of all ages concerning a Community Center for Yarmouth. These were placed in some 30 locations throughout the town and left with collection boxes for well over two weeks. Out of a Town population of 13,429 we received back only 565 questionnaires to the 2000 that were circulated. The results have been carefully tabulated, and we owe Mrs. Maxtone Graham a vote of thanks for hours of work she put into this work. Three hundred and eleven wanted a community center and two hundred and fourteen did not. A copy of the complete results is enclosed with this report. The most telling factor was that 370 people thought that all ages should work together and only 90 were in the negative. The Committee has examined what is being done in each of the Cape towns in relation to Senior Citizens and Community Centers. We have studied several towns away from here, such as Stonington, Conn. that has a privately run and financed Center, which is very successful. In Brattleboro, Vt. the Center is in connection with one of the Churches, and shared by a number of organizations quite successfully. Southwest Harbor, Maine has a privately financed and run youth center that is in trouble for 54 lack of funds, and is not used very much. Dr. Murphy, our school superintendent, and your chairman, have visited II. U. D. headquarters in Boston to explore possibilities of combining a center with a future addition to the school. This is not feasible at the present time. It is our feeling that although there is considerable need for a Civic Center for the Town of Yarmouth this is not the time to seek to accomplish the project. There is not enough interest in the proposition. The Senior Citizens group are doing a laudable job to obtain a center for their exclusive use by their own works. Presently the needs of Youth can be served in the town by the existing buildings, such as the West Yarmouth Community Building, and school facilities. We suggest that this whole matter be left in abeyance until a clearer need is evident. Theodore Frothingham, Chairman Report on Questionnaires distributed by Committee to see if the Town of Yarmouth wanted to have a Community Center. Number of questionnaires 2000 Number filled in 565 There were 32 boxes placed in all areas of the Town and they were left out for three weeks. 1. Do you want a Community Center? Yes 313 No 229 2. If one existed, would either you or any member of your family make use of it? Yes 143 No 229 Occasionally 219 3. If it is possible to have a Community Building, do you want it to be adjacent to or part of one of the Town's Schools? Yes 210 No 279 4. Would you prefer it to be an entirely separate building? Yes 251 No 176 6. If funds for this building cannot be procured from Town, State or Federal Government, would you be willing to make a contribution? Yes 232 No 261 7. If you cannot afford to do this, would you be willing to work on a Fund Raising Committee? Yes 194 No 229 8. Do you feel that people of all ages should be able to work together? Yes 414 No 93 55 9. Would you consider having this a combined Dennis Yarmouth project? Yes 222 No 222 12. Would you vote for the appropriation of money for a Community Center? Yes 291 No 207 Men 313 Women 252 Registered Voters 430 Not all the people gave the answers to Male, Female and Registered Voter. Many people did not answer all the questions, but I feel that this is a fair tabulation of the answers that I considered important to our project. Some of our questions were redundant. Also some of the questionnaires were answered with obscenities and nonsense and these I threw out. Respectfully submitted, Ann Maxtone Graham REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH POLICE STATION STUDY COMMITTEE The Town of Yarmouth Police Station Study Committee was appointed by the Selectmen on April 24, 1972 pursuant to Article 10 of the 1972 Yarmouth Annual Town Meeting. The Committee held its first meeting on Wednesday, May 10, 1972 and met regularly thereafter. The Committee met with the Police Chief, several police officers of the Town of Yarmouth Police Station and other town police stations, either jointly as a committee or through individual members. The Committee in all of its meetings was studying "the alteration of the present police station or the construction of a new one". Based upon its interviews, field investigations and meeting discussions, the Committee considered the areas of administration, detention and motor vehicle maintenance as the three basic elements making up a police station. - The Committee came to the conclusion that the police station should contain the following facilities: In the area of administration there should be a public lobby, public rest rooms, communication center, offices, duty room, small conference or interview room, squad room, locker room, and records and storage room. The detention area should contain improved and expanded facilities and should include five (5) regular cells and one (1) tank for males; two (2) cells and one (1) tank for females; two (2) cells for juveniles; matron's 56 room; booking room; and interrogation room. The motor vehicle maintenance area, to be used for the delivery of prisoners and limited police vehicle maintenance, should contain three (3) motor vehicle bays. Provisions should also be made for an improved pistol practice firing range. The present Yarmouth Police Station has approximately six thousand seven hundred seventy (6,770) square feet of useable space including the basement, first floor and second floor. The Committee feels that the present police station is deficient in all three primary categories previously mentioned considering the present workload and department size and the projected Yarmouth population increase and consequent increased workload and department growth. After a review of all of the information received by the Committee including excerpts from the report of the "Survey of the Yarmouth Police Department" by Westinghouse Justice Institute, Arlington, Virginia, which affected space needs, and due consideration to the population centers and traffic conditions of the Town, the Committee feels that the present location remains adequate and logical. The Committee does not recommend the construction of a new police station as it believes an appropriate addition to and renovations of the present police station would make the building and department more efficient for the present and reasonably distant future requirements of the Town. The Committee believes an adequate police station consisting of the three basic elements can be provided by altering the present police station and expanding if with an addition of approximately four thousand five hundred (4,500) square feet of useable building area. The Committee estimates the cost of an addition with necessary planning and architectural fees would be in the area of one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.). The Committee estimates that a new building, including land acquisition, would cost at least five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.). The Committee feels that with an addition to the present building at a cost of approximately one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.) the Town would have nearly the equivalent of a new building at a cost of approximately five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.). The Committee recommends therefore: 1. That an addition of approximately four thousand five hundred (4,500) square feet of useable floor space be added to the present police station; 57 2. That the present police station be altered so that its facilities can be consistent with the use of the recommended addition; 3. That the Town create a Police Station Building Committee with a budget, said funds to be expended under the direction of the Building Committee for the preparation of plans and cost estimates for the proposed addition. As a result of our deliberations and work, the Committee feels compelled to go beyond its particular mandate and make the following recommendations to the Town: 1. That the Town have a Municipal Building Study Committee to coordinate the use and expansion of all Town buildings with particular emphasis on establishing priorities for new construction; anticipating future land requirements and for controlling uncoordinated and unrelated expansion of existing facilities; 2. That consideration be given by the Town to joint departmental maintenance of all Town properties including land, buildings and vehicles. If the Town of Yarmout had one maintenance garage for motor vehicles, the Committee would not have to recommend as many as three (3) bays for the police station. This is only one of the many obvious savings the Committee sees if there were joint maintenance provisions for all Town departments.

It has seen the awarding of a contract to Cole, Layer and Trumble Company for the equalization of all property values in the Town, both Real and Personal. These equalized values will be reflected in our 1975-1976 Fiscal Year Tax Bills. Training on old and new procedures in Assessing is very important and so we have 153 attended Assessing School at the University of Mass., at Amherst, gone to a Assessment Administrative Course at Bridgewater State College and a Massachusetts Property Tax Law Course at the Cape Cod Community College. We have also attended several seminars in the Boston area on Assessing Procedures. All of these have been very informative and beneficial to us. Respectfully submitted, Bradford L. Tallman, Chairman Howard W. Marchant Charles W. Eager BOARD OF ASSESSORS HIGHWAY SURVEYOR'S REPORT To the Board of Selectmen: During 1973 seventeen roads were resurfaced and the roadsides loamed and seeded. A section of Whites Path was dug out and rebuilt and also a section of Forest Rd. at Long Pond Drive was resurfaced. The north side of West Yarmouth Rd. was completed. The sidewalk was continued on Long Pond Drive as far as Treasure Lane and a new section of sidewalk was built at the corner of Forest Road and Long Pond Drive.. Also, the Willow Street Yarmouthport sidewalk was completed. A section of Willow Street was paved for the State which is a temporary improvement until the State finishes their reconstruc- tion of this road. Extensive drainage was installed in various roads in the Town, using 126 basins. Approximately 1000 catch basins were cleaned out during the spring and fall. Our salt storage shed was completed with just a little more exterior painting to be done. Two sweepers, one Town owned and one rented have been working every day that the weather permits. The Sign Department has been busy making new signs and replacing the vandalized one. Two High School boys worked during the summer months picking up roadside litter. James C. Marsh Highway Surveyor 154 BUILDING INSPECTOR'S REPORT Submitted herewith is the annual report of the Building Inspector for 1973. A total of 833 Building Permits were applied for and 783 were issued for construction estimated to cost $ 12,519,114.00. These permits were: 439 residential, 113 non-residential, and 236 for pools, alterations and additions. The department has three full - time men to cover building inspection, sewage inspection, agent for the Board of Health, sign inspector, Sealer of Weights and Measures, town by law enforcement and occupancy permits for all buildings. The occupancy permit for all new residential building was initiated in September of 1973 at the cost of 2.00 dollars per permit. Problems and work load have been on the increase due to code changes and to the rise in buildings and population. Respectfully submitted Howard A. Spurr Building Inspector ANNUAL REPORT OF HARBORMASTER'S DEPARTMENT This past season the Yarmouth Harbormaster's Department assisted more than five hundred boats valued at over a million dollars. Four near drownings were averted by the work of the Town's boat patrol. An increase in unauthorized use and stealing of equipment from moored boats necessitated added hours (four to eight PM) that the patrol boats were in operation each day. Most boaters are becoming educated to the speed limits on the waters of the Town, but boat wakes are still very much of a problem. The boater who creates a large wake that does damage to moored or docked vessels is responsible for restitution o.£ that damage. Thetownspeople should set their moorings early, as space is. becoming limited. John L. Silver, Jr. Harbormaster 155 REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF VETERANS' SERVICES AND VETERANS" AGENT District Board Carl Hiler, Sandwich Martin Hoxie, Barnstable Charles Eager, Yarmouth Joseph Merchant, Dennis Randolph Peters, Mashpee I hereby submit my 1973 annual report of the District De- partment Veterans Services. For the town of Yarmouth, this Department spent $55,918.16 on Veterans Benefits which includes ordinary living expenses, medical and nursing homes. This total was based on 60 cases which were aided. Besides aiding veterans and their dependents in a financial manner, this department shall assist them in furnishing such information, advice and assistance to enable them to procure the vocational and other opportunities such as education, hospital- ization, medical care, pensions, . compensation, and any other veterans benefits. A total of 6,072 people availed themselves during 1973; also, this office handled 5,355 incoming telephone calls. Included in this isa report from Investigator, Sidney L. Chase, as follows: "As the District's Investigator, my primary job is to make regular reports on all cases and monthly visits on all temporary cases; for the calendar year 1973, there were 65 home investigations; 25 permanent cases, 40 temporary cases. My other duties are to assist Mr. Cross with Veterans services work and any other daily problems that arise from the 6,072 that availed themselves of our office during 1973." As the Director and agent, I wish to thank Mrs. Josephine Angell, my principal secretary; and Mrs. Florence Bell, my medical secretary, for their outstanding work throughout the year. Also, I thank the Board of Selectmen and their various Town departments for their splendid cooperation throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, Charles H. Cross Director and Agent 156 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMITTEE The year 1973 was a monumental year in the history of the development of the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District. Early in January specifications and plans were sent out for bid. Due to a large number of firms competing we feel that the bid of J. L. Marshall & Sons, Inc., Pawtucket, Rhode Island, for the construction of the school was a good bid. As you know, on February 22nd, a District -wide vote was held in all eleven member towns comprising our high school district, and they all voted to authorize an indebtedness of $9,890,000 for the purpose of constructing, originally equipping and furnishing this regional technical high school. On March 7th, the committee officially voted to award the contract for school construction to J. L. Marshall & Sons, Inc. of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The committee again wishes to thank the taxpayers in our eleven towns for their favorable vote. It was indeed a gratifying sight for us as committee members, and I'm sure for you as taxpayers, to see activity start at the wonderful site that was chosen at the intersection of Routes 6 and 124, in the Town of Harwich. This 64 -acre site lends itself beautifully to the development of our vocational facility. Trans- portation to and from the school is greatly enhanced by its location. In April of 1973 Dr. Robert A. Campbell resigned from his position as Superintendent -Director. Mr. Jesse J. Morgan, former Superintendent of the Harwich Schools served as Acting Director until Dr. Renzo Ricciuti assumed the duties of an Interim Director so that the committee could conduct a search for a replacement. Mr. Wilfred H. Learned, Jr., former Superintendent -Direct- or of the Bay Path Vocational Technical School in Charlton, was appointed Superintendent -Director as of September 1, 1973. An item of interest to school officials and parents in our 11 -town district was voted by the committee during the month of November. Upon the recommendation of Mr. Learned the committee voted to open our school in September of 1975 at maximum capacity. This means that students would be accepted in grades 9 through 12 from the Barnstable Vocational High School, and also from sending high schools throughout our district. From an educational point of view more students will have the benefit of vocational education, - many of them who were denied vocational education due to the lack of space. A broader. 157 program for both girls and boys can be offered with full capacity, and from the taxpayers point of view it is more economical to operate a building at full capacity that at half capacity. The key to the success of this program will be directly proportional to the planning that goes into the development of the total program. Another noteworthy accomplishment of the committee during the year 1973 was the opening of a Special Needs Program, in cooperation with the Cape Cod Mental Health Association, to bring better service to children with special needs from many of our small towns. This program is housed in the St. Joan of Arc School in Orleans under the capable direction of Mr. A. Paul Hackett. Mr. John Stewart and Mr. Michael Dame are working with Mr. Hackett in this pilot program. It is hoped that by February 1st we will have twenty-four students enrolled in this program. The committee joined the Massachusetts Association of School Committees this year and many of our members took part in . the Annual Joint Conference for School Committees and Superintendents held in Hyannis in October. At this point in time the committee will conduct a bond sale for $9,890,000. We are very pleased to report that our district received an AA rating granted by Moody's Bond Rating Service, which will result in a considerable savings to you, the taxpayers. Our thanks go to the town boards and town officials who cooperated so nicely with our fiscal agent, the First National Bank of Cape Cod, to prepare the information that was necessary for Moody's to receive this rating. It was another example of a fine team effort. In conclusion we, the committee, wish to again take this opportunity to thank you for your tremendous support during the year 1973, and we look forward to your continued support in the future. Our Superintendent -Director, Mr. Wilfred H. Learned, Jr., has his office in the house right on Route 124, the telephone number is 432-4500, and if you have any questions he would be glad to discuss them with you. R. Arthur Williams, Chairman Oscar W. Doane, Jr. Richard O. Staff 158 THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS REPORT The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1973. Present number of active services 10,001 Services installed during 1973 525 Gallons of water pumped 766,125,448 Miles of main added to system 4.75 Approximate miles of main 234.75 The water system of the Town of Yarmouth is continuing to grow at a moderate rate. During the past four(4) years, the town has seen an average of six hundred (600) new services per year. Water Department revenue for the year 1973 was Five Hundred Fifty Thousand, Two Hundred and Three Dollars ($550,203.00), an increase of Five Thousand, Three Hundred and Sixty -Two Dollars ($5,362.00) over 1972. Total gallonage pumped in 1973 was up thirty-six million (36,000,000) gallons for the year, despite a wet summer. Contracts were awarded and work started on the complete overhaul of the main pumping station and wells on Union Street and wells number four(4) and number five(5) off Long Pond Drive.completion of this project is expected early in 1974. The overhaul program is allowing the Department to upgrade the system to meet increasing demands for water. Following the last annual town meeting, steps were taken to aquire further properties off Higgins Crowell Road as voted by the townspeople. After two Department of Public Health hearings and completion of the necessary legal requirements, the taking was finalized in late 1973. The Town Meeting will again this year be asked to aquire additional wellfield properties. This is because it is vital to the towns interest to have a supply of good potable water. In 1973, contracts were also awarded for the construction of a new pumping station and a new well. The pumping station, located behind the Middle School property, is nearing completion. The well, located westerly side of Higgins Crowell Road, has been started and completion is expected in early 1974. It is also expected that the pumping station will come on line by early spring. Viewing the long range aspects of the Water Department, the completion of the deep well program and a complete inventory of the water resources of the Town of Yarmouth is nearing the final stages. It can be said that a new deep well has been started and various other test well sites in different locations of the town have been completed, showing a strong promise of a good supply 159 of water potentionally available. Further monies are being requested to complete the program. All of the data collected under this test well program will be correlated by our engineers, Whitman and Howard Inc., and future plans call for a computer model of the entire water system for the town will be available for use by the department. Also at this time, on the advise of our engineers, and due to the long delay time between appropriations and actual construc- tion start, the Board of Water Commissioners feel that it is necessary and in the best interest of the Town, to at this time bring forward for consideration by the voters, the proposed standpipe on the Prospect Hill Site with the necessary main and apputenances associated with construction. The Commissioners again wish to thank all those who have lent their support and time to the continued growth and operation of the Town and Yarmouth Water Department. Board of Water Commissioners Frederick J. Thacher Roger G. Edwards, Jr. Thomas E. Kelley REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen; During the year 1973, this department made 1336 inspections, spent 242 hours in the office, and . covered approximately 2300 miles. Respectfully submitted, John F. Stever Inspector of Wires 160 REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH PARK DEPARTMENT In 1972 two articles were passed which were still with us in 1973. One was the appropriation of $5,000 to reshingle the Windmill on Bass River; the other was $2,000 for repairing and rebuilding the Boardwalk at Bass Hole. The condition of the Windmill was discovered to be much more serious than anticipated, and to simply reshingle would have been a waste of $5,000. The Commissioners were convinced that the worm, termite and dry rot damage were extensive enough to warrant asking for additional funds in 1973. The voters of Yarmouth appropriated an additional $30,000 for restoring and rebuilding the Old Windmill, and this work is presently being carried on by a superb craftsman. The repair work on the Boardwalk was delayed until a source of supply of long cedar posts could be found. This was accomplished and the worst areas have been repaired by replacing old posts and boards. At the 1973 Annual Town Meeting three Park Department articles were passed. Article 64 gave us $5,000 for development of a new playground in the Parkwood section of South Yarmouth. Work should begin on this in the spring as soon as a plan can be drawn up. Article 65 provided much needed communication equipment for outlying areas. Sea Gull Beach, Dennis Pond and Grey's Beach were without any means of communication in case of an emergency, and the new equipment has been a great asset. Article 67 was for a dump truck to be used in the daily clean-up operation, as well as for general maintenance. The Park Department submitted 'three articles for the purpose of improving conditions at Sea Gull Beach, but these were all turned down. At a later Special Town Meeting some money was appropriated to improve the parking lot, but much work is still needed. The road and water line situation remains as before. One of our biggest problems in the summer is insufficient parking facilities at out town beaches. This is especially true at the free unstiekered beaches where people try to park on private property or block driveways when the lots are filled. Beach sticker receipts were only slightly over 1972, due in part to the cool, wet weather of last summer, and to the fact that about 76%of the cars entering the stickered beaches had taxpayer stickers. It should be noted here that all beach receipts go into the General Fund of the Town, not into the Park Department budget. 161 The Board of Park Commissioners meet twice a month to approve of disapprove the work being done by the Department, set policy, handle complaints and conduct the business of the Department. Walter H. Porter Chairman, Park Commission SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES REPORT The purpose of the Sealer of Weights and Measures is to see that both the Consumer and Merchant are both protected. The following is my report for the year 1973.

Respectfully submitted, Emanuel M. Wensley Sealer of Weights 162 BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT 1973 ANNUAL REPORT There has been increased service in all program areas. The stimulation and challenge of change has led us to the need to assess and review existing programs and to modify our efforts and then expand in other areas. The addition of a new position, laboratory technician, has enabled the staff in environmental health to carry out more procedures - testing of more water samples, milk samples, shellfish samples, and to offer more time in consultation to health agents. The community is asking for more information about the immunization recommendations for travellers, for the elderly, for children, and for information and reassurance about insect -born diseases and foor-borne disease outbreaks. This year the threat of mosquito born eastern viral encephalitis was high -lighted, but no cases occurred in this area, end a tick-borne disease rarely occurring in humans was reported in a neighboring area. Less dramatic but of continued importance is maintenance of the tuberculosis register and guidance in the epidemiological follow-up of 8 newly diagnosed cases. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has provided a part-time nurse epidemiologist for the control of venereal disease in the County. She shares office space with us. Participation has continued in a research study of the content of flouride in tooth enamel in certain children who do not drink flouridated water. Priority has been given to education, evaluation and to some flouride treatments for pre-school and primary children. A college premedical sophomore spent an intersession extern period with us, observing the work of various disciplines. Two physical therapy senior students had a field placement experience in public health practice. The students in the Upper Cape Regional Vocational Technical School program for licensed practical nurses each observed in the Handicapped Childrens Clinic as part of their pediatric experience. The summer sanitary inspector was a junior student majoring in public health. In cooperation with the Cape Cod Community College Nursing Program a project has been initiated at the college and supported by sizable grants from two private sources. This project is a health resources center to be available at the college for the use of health personnel for their own continuing education as well as for use in patient teaching. Supervision and monthly educational programs are presented to the 63 public health nurses in the county, and several workshops have been presented to health aents. Consultation to schools has 163 been offered as requested, for the assessment of health services, and in planning for the implementation of the Chapter 766 law. The staff of the Handicapped Childrens Clinic has redesigned records and some procedures. There are now more than 300 children under care - a few with minimal but more with multiple handicaps. Communication has been stressed with the referring physician, parents, and schools, the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission and many social agencies. Assistance to preschools and schools is being offered, as special plans are being developed by schools for children with special needs as required by September 1974. In the area of medical social work, data collection has begun with an epidemiological approach. Considerable effort is being made to analyze the extent of resourses available to children and to elderly. Coordination and consultation services are being provided for agencies preparing for and providing health care services at home. Staff are encouraged to participate in their own professional association activities and with health related agencies, such as the Comprehensive Health Planning Area Council, Nurse Directors Committee, Southeastern Massachusetts Family Planning Council, Cape Cod and Islands Committee of United Cerebral Palsy, Heart Association, Cancer Society, Lung Association, Associated Boards of Health, advisory committees of Home Health Agencies. We wish to acknowledge the fact that the new laboratory and the new equipment, the re-decorated office areas, and twice as much space have contributed to high morale of the staff. 1973 Department personnel included: Esther G.

Howes County Health Officer REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH YOUTH COMMISSION Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: The Yarmouth Youth Commission has shown a successful year of growth and expansion and has proven to be a vital part of our community. Under its Youth Coordinator, Eugene Desruis- seaux, there has been increasingly large numbers of youngsters at all the functions. Continuing with the individual opportunities and needs of counseling, the Community Building has been made available to our teenagers and pre-teenagerson a more frequent basis. It is now a six day a week operation with after school and evening hours and special weekend functions. Popular movies continue every week on Wednesday evenings with all ages in attendance. The Arts and Crafts program presently has been narrowed down to two fields popular with the young 165 people. Silversmith and Candleniaking classes are held on Tuesday " and Thursday evenings respectively and are taught by high school students knowledgeable in their craft. Our winter activities in addition to the "open center" included special holiday parties and plays which were a great hit with the younger children. The summer program was again a success with a daily attendance rate of approximately fifty youngsters. The program started on July first and continued through September first. This activity which was supervised by two recreation counselors took place at two of the town's playgrounds. The youngsters were often allowed to choose freely the activities of the day and beach days were very popular. They were taught arts and crafts by the counselors. We look forward with great optimism this coming summer as we hope to expand this program. Our young people showed a great deal of enthusiasm for the two camping trips that were offered. One of the trips was to Myles Standish Reservation and the other to Nickerson State Park. A bicycle trip on Nantucket Island was also enjoyed. We will be certain to repeat these trips next year and hope to increase the number of field trips to various area attractions. Judith R. Stevens, President of the Youth Commission, resigned in December because her husband was transfered to another state. We thank her for her dedication and for the many days she devoted to the children of Yarmouth. We would also like to thank the people of Yarmouth for their continued support throught the year. We will endeavor to work very hard to make this service more useful to the young people of Yarmouth. Respectfully submitted Judith R. Stevens, President (resigned) Reneau Bouchard, 1st V. Pres. Richard F. Jenney, 2nd V. Pres. Ernest J. LeBlanc, Treasurer Thomas F. Joyce, Secretary Charles A. Holbrook, Jr. Mark S. Fruean 166 REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN AND MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: During the early months of the year many dead and dangerous 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 wherever noticable. Many new trees both shade and flowering were planted throughout the town, many of these were replacements for trees that had been lost due to damage and disease. • Several trees along the roadsides were treated for wounds from car damage, as soon as they were reported to me. This is very 'mportant to the tree's health in order to prevent further damage, and hopefully save as many trees as we can. Many Ash trees and flowering trees were hit with a fungus this past Spring. This was due to the wet weather conditions we had at that time. DUTCH ELM DEPARTMENT The work of the Dutch Elm Department started early in the year with the removal of diseased trees. This work was carried on at intervals during the year. Samples of Forty (40) suspect trees were taken and sent to the Shade Tree Laboratories at the University of Massachusetts for examination. The results that were returned to the town showed that 37 of these trees were found to have Dutch Elm Disease, and had to lie tagged for removal. During April a dormant spray using Metoxychlor was applied by helicopter to all of the town's Elm trees. This is done in an ,effort to control the Elm Bark Beetle, which is the carrier of Dutch Elm Disease. INSECT PEST CONTROL Scouting for Gypsy Moth egg clusters was carried on throughout the town during January and February under State supervision. We then set up a program for spraying by helicopter, which took place on June 6, ,and June 14, when approximately 4,100 acres within the town were,s'prayed with Sevin -4 Oil. 167 The weather conditions were perfect at this crucial time, and excellent control of the moth was attained. Roadside spraying for Tent Caterpillars in areas that were infested was taken care of in the Spring. The Pine Tip Moth continued to be a big problem for us in certain areas of the town. It is most difficult for this department to control this pest as the insecticide recommended by the Department of Environmental Sciences to be used for control of the Pine Tip Moth cannot be applied by aerial spray, but must be applied by ground spray. The town conducts a roadside spray program, which means the insecticide can reach in only so far from the road on the homeowners property. This means that persons whose back yards are affected by Pine Tip Moth, must make an individual effort to spray their own trees, in an attempt to save them. Another problem for this department is that with the rapid growth of our town, it would be almost impossible to cover all roadside areas during the very short critical period when the application of spray would help, even if weather conditions were perfect. This is why I must point out that it is most important for all homeowners to co-operate in an individual effort to combat the Pine Tip Moth. The town will continue it's roadside spraying program, in the badly infested areas, and we will have the local newspaper announce in advance effective dates for spraying, as this varies each year, depending on weather conditions. It should be mentioned here also, that the Pine trees were hit with other blights, such as European Pine Shoot Moth, Spittle Bug, Pine Minors, and Pine Loopers. An example of Pine Looper was seen in the Captain's Village Section of South Yarmouth. This pest will be sprayed by helicopter in the coming year if it should reappear, as other towns have found success in controling the Pine Looper in this way. In closing I would like to thank the many townspeople who have brought to my attention situations pertaining to this department. My thanks to the Highway Department and Police Department for their help on several occasions, and especially to the\citizens for their cooperation during our aerial spray programs. Respectfully submitted Jon L. Holmes Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent 168 REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH HOUSING AUTHORITY Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: The Yarmouth Housing Authority planned and completed the exterior painting of the four buildings and the community building in 1973. Also due to change of tenants, 'three apartments were completely refurbished. Request to the Department of Community Affairs to build two units on the existing land to house the elderly received a nega- tive reply because we do not have as they call a balanced program which meant we do not have a 705 program._ This leaves the elderly without much hope. We now have 56 applicants for elderly housing. The present 40 units have been completely occupied for 1973. Briefly, eligibility requirements are that a person must be 65 years of age or over (single persons living alone or couples are eligible) and of low income. The average monthly rent including heat, electricity and water is $50.00 per month. Financial statement of operation as of December 31, 1973 is: Income including State Aid Expense $36679.00 $34405.32 $2273.68 Respectfully submitted Clyde Hackett, Acting Chairman Spear Holway, Tres Peter Homer Edward Webster Ann DuLuze 169 REPORT OF DENNIS YARMOUTH INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SERVICE To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Yarmouth The Dennis Yarmouth Information and Referral Center, con- ducted by the Council on Aging, located on Old Main St. South Yarmouth, is open daily Monday thru Friday from 8:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Many varied activities are sponsored here, including classes in Oil Painting, Tray Painting, Crewel, ,Needlepoint, Rug Hooking. Needlepoint was a new class added this year. A lip reading course for registrants at the Center, taught by' Mrs. Ruth Nickerson, was held at the D -Y High School, for a,period of ten weeks. When the regular town sponsored classes were completed for the year, the Barnstable Extension Service offered classes in Rush Seating, Furni- ture Refinishing, Sewing for both beginners and advanced students. These courses took us well thru the summer season. Thursday after- noons were given over to the sewing group who meet and plan for their bazaars. Along with our regular classes the men have an after- noon for their card games which include bridge, poker and crib- bage. Each `Wednesday afternoon there is a cribbage tournament which is very well received. Various club activities have been organized by our members, the "Singles" group now has some 100 members who meet monthly for a luncheon throughout the Cape area. The Mixed Chorus, which is now in its third year and growing, has made some 30 personal appearances, both on and off Cape. Such popularity is well deserved. Along the musical line a five piece orchestra has been formed and played for our Christmas party. More will be heard from this group. Our thanks to the School Committee for their invitation to our members to attend the dress rehearsals of the drama clubs, free of charge. Our thanks to the management of the "Melody Tent" for special rates for the performances of "South Pacific" and "1776" and to the Yarmouth Playhouse for special rates for their Wednesday matinees. Fun luncheons to interesting New England resorts were -very well attended and thoroughly enjoyed. A "mixed" bowling team was formed this year and meets with the "singles" for a hotly contested Wednesday afternoon session. The Square Dancing group meets on Monday afternoons at the Congregational Church in Yarmouth. 170 Some 36,000 pieces of mail passed thru the Center this year and our warmest thanks to the loyal volunteers who each month address our "Milestones" bulletin and prepare same for mailing. Our thanks to the volunteers who during the summer months assisted in issuing beach stickers at the Town Hall. Registrants now total 5500 of which Yarmouth has 3760. Respectfully submitted Marion Matheson, Chairman Mrs. Victor Lasky Mr. William B. Hanna Mr. Frank H. Appleton Mr. Charles W. Eager Ms. Selma Ludwig Mr. Karl Wehrstedt PLUMBING AND GAS INSPECTORS' REPORT We hereby submit our report as Inspectors of Plumbing and Gas for the year 1973. During the year we made a total of 692 Plumbing permits and 717 Gas permits were issued. The fee for Plumbing and Gas permits were increased in 1971, and has made this department self-sufficient. The income for Plumbing permits for the year 1973 was $7,143.00 and from Gas permits for the year 1973 was $4,845.50. Respectfully submitted, James J. McDonald Robert S. Harwood Plumbing and Gas Inspectors 171 RECREATION COMMISSION REPORT The Bass River Golf Course has completed another extremely busy year. Our gross income totalled $197,943.98 as compared to $181,354.00 last year and membership increased from 817 to 868. We have reached the stage where the number of members using the course is beginning to limit our ability to accomodate day guests. Our new clubhouse addition has been completed giving us badly needed operating space plus a men's locker room. The former Men's locker room has been renovated to accomodate our growing list of lady members. Despite heavy usage we have continued our course improvement program. The superior grooming of the Bass River Golf Course is a credit to Superintendent John Morse and His capable maintenance crew while Pro -Manager Walter Hewins and his staff have efficiently handled the dawn until dark traffic of our expanding season. During the year we lost three capable men who contributed much to our success. Commissioners Warren Geoffrion and Judge Charles Ardito resigned and Assistant Superintendent Ralph "Tuffy" Kimball reluctantly left us for health reasons. All of these men gave unselfishly of themselves to a job they obviously enjoyed. We would like to say on behalf of our members and the townspeople "Thank you for a job well done". We would also like to welcome to our committee new commissioners Ray Mello and Jim MacNeill. They have already demonstrated their willingness and ability to help with our worthwhile program. We are proud of our accomplishments over the past twenty years and will do our best to continue to improve this important recreational facility. RECEIVED TOWN CLERK & TREASURER (SO.) YARMOUTH, MASS. Commissioners Nye Crowell, Chairman Lloyd L. Simmons, Secretary H. Freeman Cash James R. MacNeil Raymond F. Mello 172 CAPE COD PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT As the regional planning agency for Cape Cod, established "for the purpose of improving, developing and protecting the resources" of Barnstable County, the Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commission has involved itself in those critical problems that face the Cape as a whole, rather than those local problems that confront each of the 15 seperate towns. Preser- vation of open spaces determining the quantity and quality of the ground water supply, managing solid waste, providing adequate housing, meeting transportation needs -- these and many others are the day to day concern of the Planning Commission. The Commission's primary task, as an advisory body, is in providing information, professional expertise and viable recom- mendations needed by the towns to effectively deal with regional problems. While the Commission offers this assistance, it is ulti- mately the town voters and their elected representatives that must take the necessary action to deal with these vitally important issues. The year's events have demonstrated a growing recognition on both the state and federal level that many issues must be resolved on a regional basis. Developing and protecting our resourses have become .issues of national proportions spurring myriad legislative proposals. In many instances these measures porpose a regional approach to resource management. On Cape Cod, the groundwork has already been laid to meet these growing regional demands. Preservation of Open Space One of the Commission's major priorities is preserving the Capes most vifal natural resource -- its unique natural beauty. The Cape's environmental quality and rural charm are the basis of its two major sources of income, tourism and construction. Throughout the Cape, rapidly expanding development has alarmed many residents, but a number of towns have responded with ambitious open space acquisition plans. A system of neighborhood parks or preserved areas could provide physical or visual access for every member of the community. Determining Water Quantity and Quality We know that economically the Cape has difficulty in adequately supporting its population but the ability of the Cape's 173 Water supply to support its population is still unknown. The United States Geological Survey's preliminary study of "Cape Cod's Ground Water Resource" will provide the first step in obtaining this critical information. Scheduled for completion in early 1974 the study has gathered all available information in the form of a computer model. The preliminary model will determine what additional information is needed to predict the Cape's water supply capability in supporting a given population. The final model will be able to predict what impact further development in each town will have on that area's water supply. The completion of the second phase of this study is considered crucial to sound planning for the Cape as a whole. Solid Waste Disposal Like water, solid waste disposal problems intensify with a growing. population. State law prohibits burning of solid waste in Massachusetts and all 15 Cape Cod towns utilize sanitary landfill methods to dispose of their solid waste. (Wellfleet, however, incinerates most of its solid waste.) Sanitary landfill requirements create a number of problems, particularly for Cape towns. The Commissioh has submitted recommendations that can help towns meet their sanitary landfill needs in the future. Most recently, the Commission has initiated efforts to develop methods for recycling and reclamation of solid waste on a regional basis. Land Use and Regional Goals One of the Commission's most comprehensive year-long projects led to the development of the first phase of a regional land use mapping system. The many maps involved illustrate a means of considering the various social, economic and physical attributes involved in attaining certain regional goals adopted by the Commission. The mapping system is not designd to act as a "Master Plan" for land use but rather to guide local officials when making decisions which are regional in nature. Revitalizing County Government Increasing awareness of resource management issues on federal, state and local levels is creating new challenges and demands on the regional level of government. Particularly in the areas of development control, an acute problem for the Cape, there is a need for an effective mechanism for controlling 174 development of regional concern. After researching various land use control mechanisms, the Commission determined that with certain revision, county government could provide the most responsive and efficient means of providing local control in meeting these new demands. The Commission submitted legisla- tion to the General Court to establish a county legislature that would give Cape Cod residents a controlling voice in the structure and responsibilities of county government. The Commission hopes that its innovative approach will spark the community support necessary to initiate constructive county revision. Assisting Local Governments Hundreds of calls for information come into the Commis- sion's office each year. A growing number of these calls come from towns seeking technical assistance on specific problems. While the Commission staff assisted towns in many cases, it has not been able to devote adequate time to this service. In response to these growing requests, the Commission plans to include a community assistance program in this year's Overall Work Program. Not only can this service be of help to towns, but in addition, it can provide the Commission with a broader perspective of town needs and desires. Determining local needs is not a simple process and in the coming year the Commission will work through such methods as surveys, citizen panels, regional meetings, etc. This effort will hopefully focus what are now concerns into constructive regional action. Respectfully submitted, Thomas E. Kelley James W. Robertson Commissioners 175 REPORT OF THE VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL CAPE COD, INC.

We appreciate the cheerful helpfulness of Mr. Frank Finn, Jr. and Miss Shirley Lyons. Film borrowing from the Depository has been exceptionally beneficial, not only for this library but for local organizations. From Easternal Regional in Falmouth and in Boston we have had excellent service; this we appreciate. Miss Frances Dinneen is the new and very able President of the Friends of the Yarmouth Library. This organization continues to be very active. The attendance is still large. The membership is 225. All programs have been well planned by a committee for the pleasure of the many who attend. National Library week was observed from April 8th to the 14th. Open house was held on Sunday, April 8th. We are again 177 indebted to Miss Emily Warner for her tireless efforts. She and her committee furnished outstanding decorations and mouth-watering refreshments. The Exhibit committee, of which Mrs. W. Redford Alves was a successful chairman, offered interesting exhibits which were on display during the week. The annual Christmas Wassail party was, as usual, a success both financially and socially. Mr. Everett Boise and his committee deserve the credit for this happy event which was held on December 11th. Mrs. Helen Sibley and eight others furnished delightful music ending with Christmas carol singing led by Rev. Carlton Cassidy. We give thanks for the talents of these generous people. The Saturday morning children's group has enjoyed two special programs. On April 14th, the closing day of National Library Week, the Harwich Junior Winter Players presented a play, "The Key". At the annual Christmas party on December 15th, Mrs. Jerome Wyeth presented two plays by the Mimsy Puppets together with string puppets. We were saddened this year, in July, by the sudden death of Carl H. Bussey. Mr. Bussey joined the Board of Trustees and the Corporation on July 20, 1959. He was elected President in July 1963 and had served faithfully and conscientiously up to the time of his death. Seldom does a library find such a dedicated official as was Carl Bussey. The Board of Trustees is indebted to Mr. Thomas Nunan for accepting, on short notice, the Presidency and for continuing the good work in an interested, devoted manner. We are fortunate in securing the services, on Wednesday evenings, of Miss Shirley Lyons. She is a valuable addition to our staff. To the members of the Board of Trustees, to Mrs. Arthur Smith and Miss Shirley Lyons, to Mr. Alexander Buchan for his book reviews, to the borrowers, to the members of the Friends of the Yarmouth Library, to the Selectmen, to the members of the Finance Committee and to the Taxpayers we extend sincere -and grateful appreciation for their continued interest and support. Respectfully submitted, Martha U. White, Librarian Yarmouth Library Association 178 WEST YARMOUTH LIBRARY REPORT Board of Selectmen: West Yarmouth, Massachusetts We are happy to submit our annual report for the year 1973. Our circulation has grown again, an increase of 2874 books, periodicals and records over 1972, totaling 45,850. 653 books were added to our inventory. Of these, 280 were adult fiction, 275 non-fiction, and 98 juvenile fiction. Under the supervision of Mrs. Louise Lawson, 34 records were added to our collection, totaling 384. This year the library obtained two memberships to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts which may be borrowed by cardholders. A "Talking Book" machine borrowed from the Library of Congress is abailable at the library for demonstration purposes. Anyone wishing information concerning borrowing such a machine need only stop by the library. Also available for borrowing are our large print books. As a member of the Eastern Regional Library System, we continue to use the facilities of the Falmouth and Boston Public Libraries for book requests and have borrowed many books from the Depository at Yarmouthport to supplement our collection. In the Spring the library was the scene of a two day flower show sponsored by the Yarmouth Garden Club and many came to admire the beautiful displays. We also wish to thank the club for the many floral arrangements they have donated to the library during the year. It was with regret that the Trustees accepted the resignation of Eleanor E. Finn, retiring after fifteen years of service as our librarian. Her interest and helpfulness shall be missed by all in the community and we wish her the very best of luck. We wish to thank our staff, Edith Cavander, Lee Wetjen, and Diane Nielsen, and all others involved in the library for their wonderful cooperation and support. Respectfully submitted, Lorraine Loughlin, Librarian 179 REPORT OF THE SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION To the Board of Selectmen: Once again we submit herewith our annual report for the year 1973, and as in years past, we have had a busy year.

This was used to purchase large print books for people with limited vision. We have supplemented our own collection with large print books from the Eastern Regional Depository in Yarmouth Port. These have been extremely popular and we hope to enlarge this collection. Our Talking Book Machine has been used this year and we would like to encourage the use of this machine. Anyone interested in this may have more information by calling the library. We are most grateful to the Yarmouth Garden Club for their generosity in supplying plants and decorations for the library during 1973. They have been most attractive and a most welcome addition to our library. During the year I attended several meetings which were most helpful and useful in our work. These included the Massachusetts Library Association Meeting at Dunfey's in the Spring, the New England Library Association annual conference at Portsmouth, the Cape Cod Library Club meeting at Harwich and various area meetings. The Pre -School Story Hour continues to be successful under the direction of Mrs. Silas Stowe and plans have been made to continue it during 1974. We continue to make use of the Eastern Regional Depository in Yarmouth Port and find it most useful. We wish to express our appreciation for the interest and support we have received during the year to the members of our 180 Board of Trustees; to the Selectmen; to our valued assistant, Mrs. Nancy Stewart; to our able assistants Mrs. Silas Stowe, Mrs. Jean Bingham, Mrs. Muriel Stewart and Mrs. David Rogers; to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Annin for continuing to volunteer their services; to Mrs. John Keary for our gardens; to Mrs. Ann Maxtone-Graham for her continued loyalty and support and by no means last, to our many friends and patrons for their gifts of money, books, time and friendship. A big thank you to everyone. Respectfully submitted, Virginia M. Osborn Librarian REPORT OF THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: I hereby submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1973. Clams on the north side are sparce and few. Those that remain are in the marsh grass. Therefore, the whole north side has been closed for clams in order to prevent the digging of the marsh area, and to keep the few clams we have for propagation. The predator control for clams on the north side will be stepped up through a new method, using less man hours, and will be more efficient. Clams in other parts of the Town show a slight increase in seed this year, if they survive the winter. Quahogs in Lewis Pond were harvested with great enthusiasm. Due to increase in licenses and the popular demand for shellfish, this area was thinned out fairly rapidly. 181 A hydraulic machine_ was put in various areas of Bass River and Follins Pond. The results were surprising in finding Quahogs in places that were unable to be fished by Commercial and family permits. This stock was moved to more accessible areas of the Town. The hard bottom was turned over and given new life. It is hoped that more of this can be done in the future. Oysters were harvested for the festive holidays, and signs of self seeding are starting to show. If weather and predators (human and natures) can be cooperative, we could stabilize this harvesting. Scallops had the poorest showing in many years. A good portion of this is due to the seaweed, spaghetti grass, staghorn, and Japanese grass are some names given to the Codium Fragil. This Codium is new to Lewis Bay in the last five to seven years and has rapid growing power. A survey showed seed scallops, some alive, some dead, under one to two feet of the Codium. At this writing an attempt is being made to remove and break up heavy fields of this weed, to aid the remaining Scallop crop. This is a combined project with the Commonwealth, Town of Barnstable, and the Town of Yarmouth. It appears that funding may run short, as is the problem with some of these late in the year unforeseen projects. Our water sampling stations showed our Town to have clean water for the Year.

May I also extend my gratitude to State and County Departments that were helpful. Respectfully submitted Morris I. Johnson, Jr. Shellfish Constable 182 IMPROVEMENT AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE REPORT To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: The co-operation of many town . departments and the continued interest and help of many citizens made 1973 a good year for the efforts of this committee Two ambitious projects undertaken by the Town this year included the rehabilitation of the Baxter Mill and the ancient windmill on Bass River. These two jobs will require careful attention to insure that the finishing touches enhance the outstanding job done by others in the basic project. This committee will devote its best efforts in this area in the coming year. The Garden Club of Yarmouth deserves special thanks and recognition for their kindness in 1973. They have donated a beautiful spruce tree which was planted on the Village Green in Yarmouth Port late in the fall. Also generously given were two attractive sugar maples for the Yarmouth Port Library, and five maples planted at the Ancient Cemetery. The Garden Club has also come forward in 1974 to make a special project out of beautifying the windmill in Bass River when it is completed. This committee also thanks the Park Department and Highway Department for their interest and help this past year in keeping our town attractive for our residents and visitors. Respectfully submitted, John G. Sears, III, Chairman John L. Marchildon, Secretary Howard C. Doane, Jr. Irma M. Spurr Elva M. Tallman 183 REPORT OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE Once again we face the monumental task of attempting to project the town's tax rate. Many variables enter into the final determination, especially the rapidly increasing operating budgets. The tax rate for the fiscal period ending June 30, 1975 shows a significant increase over that of the previous period. Included in this increase are an addition to the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School of approximately 7.5 million dollars. The proposed addition to the John Simpkins School will cost about 1.5 million dollars. In order to be assured an adequate supply of water to meet the increasing population iri the town, we must expend $800,000 for the construction of the new Prospect Hill water tank. Our municipal protection services will also be expanding their physical plants. The police department will be seeking $225,000 for an addition to the existing station. The fire department will. be asking to relocate Station #3 in West Yarmouth and to add another new station in South Yarmouth. One figure not included in our projections was that of Yarmouth's share in the construction costs and operating costs for the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School. Although we have projected a significant increase for the `74-`75 fiscal period, the rate should begin leveling off for a few years hence. Unfortunately there is little we as individual taxpayers can do to ease this burden. The former chairman and founder of the Capital Budget Committee, Carlton S. Perkins, recently passed away. Carl's expertise in the field of capital budgeting and his unwaivering loyalty to the committee will certainly be missed by all. Raymond O. Kittila, V. Chairman Irving C. Ellis, Sec-etary Allan H.

Robinson Town Collector 188 POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT To The Honorable Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: Submitted herewith is the report of Police Department activities for the year 1973. Nineteen seventy-three will doubtlessly be without parallel insofar as citizen distrust of government and its representatives are concerned. It will further gain renown as a year of public unrest and high crime statistics; of economic boom and, conversely, unemployment; of ecological awareness and power shortages; of high prices and higher taxes. Unfortunately the new year is saddled with the same hangups. With unemployment will come the inevitable increase in crime, some of it violent. With the power and fuel shortages a sudden jump in gasoline and fuel oil larcenies have been noted. Persons "too proud" to accept welfare checks are quick to relieve their neighbors of their belongings via the breaking and entering route. The outlook for '74 would indeed seem to be bleak. To compound an almost untenable situation the tax rate in this, and every other town, promises to soar in seventy-four. An increasing Police Department budget will account for a portion of the accelerating tax rate. We have a need for additional personnel and vehicles in order to cope with increasng crime and population. I have asked the Finance Committee for their approval in our aquiring three dispatchers, and three additional cruisers. The three dispatchers are desperately needed to handle incoming telephone calls and radio messages to and from our cruisers. One man cannot possibly handle the volume of "business" crossing the front desk during any one shift. Two of these dispatchers would be assigned to the day and evening shifts with the third working their days off. The three cruisers will enable us to keep a sufficient number of "wheels" on the road. Presently we are constantly short of cruisers due to break -downs. These three vehicles will make it possible to keep a minimum of four cruisers on the road at all times. The Finance Committee tells us, and it is true, that it is not a question of "need". They contend it is a question of "what can we afford?" Our question is "can we afford not to?". You, the citizen, will be asked to choose. What you are willing to pay will determine, not the quality, but the quantity of officers and materiel. The quality is now. Our ability to ,effectively cover the Town depends on numbers. Cruisers and manpower. 189 Regardless of your decision you are guaranteed the best possible policing of the Town. The quality of new recruits improves with each year due to stringent requirements including psychiatric evaluation, written examinations, minimum education of high school graduate (& preferrably college experience), a tough physical aptitude test and, finally, an interview with the Board of Selectmen. Where some departments are forced to take what they can get, Yarmouth manages to "skim the top off the barrel". You; the citizens of Yarmouth, have made this possible by your understanding and support. It is sincerely hoped that you will continue to help us to help you. Theodore P.

Fourteen (14) new road layouts, including West Yarmouth Road, were prepared for acceptance and construction. In addition, ten (10) existing Town roads were reconstructed under department supervision. Several drainage problem areas were corrected and planning continues in that direction. A new policy of including drainage easements on the road layout plans has enabled us to tie critical areas into working systems and outlets. Our offices and work areas in the. Town building have been improved and expanded. In conjunction with these improvements, we have updated filing procedures and instituted new policies for the Department and the Town in areas of Planning Board 194 inspections, Assessors maps and'prints, installation of utilities, road construction materials, site •plan » and entrance permit approvals and work with other Town Departments. Working with the Conservation Commission and Water Commissioners, several important plans were prepared for purchase and takings to reserve areas for public use and water supply. Mr. Clyde C. Hackett began employment in the Department on April 24, 1972 as Chief Clerk and together with Bill Hunter, Mary Costello, Robin Wilcox and myself, wish to thank the residents and other Departments for their support and coop- eration.

As you can see from the statistics in the report, nearly twice as many runs were made with rescue vehicles as were made with fire apparatus. Yet we show an increase of 52 fire -related runs over the previous year. In this area, due to the service demands, there will be an article in the warrant asking replacement of the 1960 used Pontiac ambulance which this department operated after it was transferred to us from the police department in August of 1972. Nearly 25% of the rescue runs during 1973 were made with this old vehicle. Many were made while the newest one was already on an emergency run and this indicates to me that it is not in the public interest to rely upon this vehicle for any extended service. As it is in only fair condition I feel compelled to ask you to replace it or I will have to eliminate it from service rather than risk breakdown during a critical response. It is also necessary to bear in mind that there should be a servicable unit to substitute for the newest unit now in service when it becomes necessary to do maintenance work on it. A second article will ask for $2,000 for compensation for . a call firefighter who was injured in the line of duty and was consequently unable to work for ten weeks. This sum represents the difference between his estimated income for the period (based on last years return) and monies he has received through town and personal insurance coverage. A third article asks for preservation of existing black top at three fire stations and additional areas paved at two of them. A fourth article asks for monies to construct a fire station in accordance with a survey made by the Insurance Services Office (formerly the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association). This survey was conducted in late 1971 at the initial request of the Capital Budget Committee. In the survey there is a recommend- ation to relocate station 3 (West Yarmouth) and to build a new station (additional) near the industrial area on Whites Path. It is 198 my hope that once we decide on the type and size of a suitable structure that the very same building can be duplicated on the second location at a savings in cost to the town. A fifth article requests monies to purchase and repair uniforms for paid members of the fire department. The adjustments and accomplishments members of this department have made during the past year to provide the town with rescue service have been outstanding. I am especially grateful to those who have devoted their time and efforts and talents to help with our successes. We have on file many letters of appreciation from those who have had to call on the department for rescue emergency service, each attesting to the fine care and treatment received from the members on the rescue vehicle responding to their need. At present three men have completed training beyond the advanced first aid all members are required to complete. This training of much advanced medical services qualify each student as an Emergency Medical Technician upon passing the National test. Currently three additional men are scheduled to attend the same course at the spring semester at the Cape Cod Community College. Ultimately all men assigned to the rescue detail will have completed and qualified as EMTs. Such training is now required by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Emergency Medical Services Plan patterned after the plan of the National Highway Safety Act. With some difficulty we have established that the rescue vehicles and men operating them for emergency rescue are only to be used for such and not for transportation purposes. This is very necessary as . the rescue service is strictly for situations requiring immediate temporary treatment and care of the sick and injured until they can be taken to the hospital for further attention. It has been pointed out to those who have requested the service for non -emergency that there are several private ambulance services on the Cape who are available for this type of use. It is essential to maintain a strict "Emergency Only" policy so as not to tie up this service on a non -emergency run. 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 of the fire department ladies auxiliary for their efforts and aid, and to the officers and men of the fire department I express my sincere appreciation for their help and assistance.

In reporting on the events which transpired during the year 1973, it is interesting to review past events in retrospect and, also, to analyze past experiences in an attempt to anticipate future needs. When I submitted my first report to you in December of 1971, we had 4,546 students enrolled in our three school districts. Two years later, as I write my report for 1973, we have 5,025 students enrolled in the three school districts, an increase of 10 percent. The Dennis enrollment jumped from 1,012 to 1,184, an increase of 17 percent. Yarmouth's enrollment jumped from 2,230 to 2,309, an increase of nearly 4 percent. The Dennis—Yarmouth Regional High School enrollment in the same two year time span jumped from 1,304 to 1,532, an increase of over 16 percent. In December of 1971 the K-5 enrollment in Dennis was 650. Today it is 751, an increase of over 15 percent. In my report of 1971, I pointed out the need for additional school facilities to meet the space requirements of an increasing enrollment. During this past year, positive action has been taken by your school department and the voters of both towns to see that our school space needs are met. With your continued support, the year 1974 should see the beginning of new construction in Yarmouth with an addition to the John Simpkins School, in Dennis with a new K-5 elementary school, and a 1,200 pupil addition at the Dennis—Yarmouth Regional High School site. In my first annual report in 1971, I recommended the expansion of the Adult Education Program. At that time, we had a total of 1,395 residents enrolled in 48 courses offered in the Adult Education Progrl m. Early in 1973, Mr. James R. Davis was appointed Director of the Dennis—Yarmouth Community Schools. Mr. Davis has clone an outstanding job and under his leadership, our program enrollment has increased to 2,200 participants, an increase of 58 percent, and our course offerings now total 105, an increase of 118 percent. Several unique activities were initiated as part of the Community Schools program in 1973. Foremost among these are the Children's Theater, a series of Saturday field trips focusing on Cape Cod's geological, ecological, economic and cultural past, and the Community Schools Theater. At the time of this writing, we are ready to initiate a Saturday Morning Enrichment and Recreational Program. Participants may select activities such as photography, painting, drawing, crafts, woodworking, dramatics, dancing, basketball, sewing, baking, chorus, band and many others. 203 The energy crisis and inflation are of major concern to your School Department. Fuel oil suppliers have advised us to anticipate a 100 percent increase in price above last year. Suppliers of school materials have advised us that the price of some paper products may increase by 300 percent before the opening of school in September. All of our teachers have been directed to make every effort to conserve supplies. Thermostats have been lowered in all the schools to conserve fuel. New legislation which has been adopted by the Massachusetts House and Senate will have a great impact in the development of educational plans for the future by all local School Comm' - •s in the Commonwealth. The new law, known as Chapter 7.., relates to the education of school age children with special nee: s. Under the law, a school age child with special needs is any chilos between the age of three and twenty—one who does not have a high school diploma and who is handicapped physically, mentally, percept- ually, or emotionally. The school department must identify all such handicapped children residing in the community, assess their special needs, and prescribe and provide special educational programs designed to meet those needs.To effectively carry out the requirements of the law, it will be necessary for the school department to provide additional services by augmenting our staff with more professionals skilled in dealing with the mentally retarded, the emotionally disturbed, the physically and percept- ually handicapped. Our entire professional staff is constantly endeavoring to upgrade the quality of our elementary and secondary educational programs by evaluating what we have done in the past, retaining that which has proven successful, modifying programs which might become more successful, and initiating new programs to meet current and future objectives. The process of self—evaluation is, and should be, never ending, and to facilitate our efforts, members of our professional staff are constantly involved in such activities as curriculum review and development, investigating new teaching techniques and classroom management. Our teachers have taken numerous graduate courses in their subject areas, attended conferences and workshops in the open classroom concept, team teaching, block time scheduling, and individualized instruction. In addition, the school department has brought in guest speakers in various specialized areas to address our teaching staff on new trends in education. In summary, my experiences in education, as a teacher, administrator, and educational consultant, have exposed me, directly or indirectly, to many school systems throughout the 204 country. On the basis of these experiences, I am pleased to say that the schools of Dennis and Yarmouth, which I presently represent, deserve to be commended. In education, as in any field of endeavor, we have made mistakes along the way. Our strength, however, lies in our ability to recognize our short comings, assess our future needs, and initiate positive action in a spirit of cooperative endeavor in order to achieve objectives which will be of the utmost benefit to the student population of our communities. LOSS OF PERSONNEL, DUE TO DEATH The Town of Yarmouth lost two loyal employees with the death of Clarence Arnold Baker and John O. Housman, during the year 1973. "Arnold" Baker served as custodian, at the South Yarmouth Elementary School for ten years. "Jack" Housman, at the time of his death, was Head Custodian at the John Simpkins School, having worked at this school when it was Yarmouth High School, a total of twenty-three years service to the Town of Yarmouth School Department. LOSS OF PERSONNEL, DUE TO RETIREMENT The following persons left the schools of this district to enjoy their retirement. Mrs. Violet I. Plumer, from Ezra H. Baker School, after eighteen years of service. Mrs. Irene L. Silva, from Mattacheese Middle School, after ten years of service. Edward M. Webster, Assistant Principal, Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School, after forty-two years of service to the Town of Yarmouth School Department and the Regional High School District. 205 NAME James J.

As required, municipal officials were notified and, on March 29, 1973, special town meetings were held in Dennis and Yarmouth. Voters in both towns failed to approve the borrowing, apparently due to the fact the plans presented were not sufficiently detailed. The Committee felt a keen sense of loss in learning that Alfred C. Kelley, one of two "charter" members remaining, had decided not to be a candidate for re-election. Mr. Kelley's contribution to the efforts of the Committee - both as a member and as Chairman - will be remembered with gratitude. In March, Mrs. Elinor E. Slade was elected by the voters of the Town of Dennis, and has conscientiously assumed her responsibility as a member. Mr. Laurence Ellis was reappointed by the 'Yarmouth School Committee; Mrs. Margaret Mathews, by the Dennis School Committee, to serve as members of the Regional School Committee for a one-year period. To enlarge the Committee membership in compliance with the Agreement establishing the District, David Hodsdon was appointed by the Dennis Selectmen to serve until the next annual election. In collaboration with the Administration and the Citizens' Advisory Committees, the Committee has continued in its pursuit of both long and short range solutions to the ever -mounting need for additional space. Many interested citizens have shown their concern by attendance at the regular meetings of the District. To obviate the necessity of full "double sessions," the building known as the "Annex" has afforded temporary relief for the problem of overcrowding. On October 25, special Town Meetings were held to allow the voters to approve or disapprove Committee action taken on September 25. A favorable vote has permitted the Committee to raise $500,000.00 through the issuance of bonds or notes for preparing architectural and engineering plans and other preliminary expenses as authorized under Chapter 71, Section 16(d), of the General Laws. The Committee acknowledges its indebtedness to Joseph Curtis, who has generously given of his time to act as Food Coordinator since the opening of school in September of 1973. Mr. Curtis volunteered his services, and has been most helpful in analyzing food costs and effecting savings in all phases of the cafeteria program. It has been the pleasure of the Committee, in its capacity as Trustees of the Scholarship Fund, to receive in donations more than $1,750.00 and to pay in scholarships over $4,760.00. A portion of this amount has been applied to awards of prior years; the remainder, to scholarships for the 1973 graduating class. The accrued interest on invested funds has been in excess of $9,000.00. In this respect, as in every area of activity, Committee members have 279 recognized that there is no responsibility without accountability, and appreciate the opportunity to fulfill the trust vested in them by the citizenry of Dennis and Yarmouth.
