This year, like all years, has been one of triumph and
tribulation for the Town of North Andover. We think the
triumphs far outnumber the tribulations.
Through extensive and lengthy interviews, we were able to
hire John Bohenko as Executive Secretary and Richard IR)mas
who now heads the very active Community Development Office.
This was the year we elected Christine Smith as North
Andover's first woman Selectman.
It was a year of new sewers and the much used and enjoyed
sidewalks around the old center common.
It was also a year of "new growth" and development in the
form of homes and new business.
We are proud of our school system as it continues to send
into the world well prepared young men and women, who excell
in sports and academics.
We are indeed fortunate to have police and fire departments
of such professional quality. These men and women often go
beyond "duty" to serve the people of North Andover.
Our Recreation Department has had another fine year providing
well supervised activities for our children and Stevens Pond
continues to be a well loved resource used by the young and
old.
Organizations and individual efforts continue to make a
strong impact on our Town. Without this involvement and
spirit, we would not feel the excitement in the air as we
watch the Senior Citizen Center nearing completion and hear
of and envision the redevelopment of the downtown area.
Without the effort and commitment of the whole community, we
would not be able to take such well deserved pride in North
Andover.
The Town Report Committee is indebted to the Town department
heads and departmental employees for their cooperation in the
work of compiling these reports and to Karen Robertson for
her technical assistance. We would also like to thank Gayton
Osgood for supplying the photos in this year's report.

Board of Selectmen
The Board started off 1983 with a reorganization meeting at which time
Charles A. Salisbury was elected Chairman, John W. Graham was elected Chairman
of the Licensing Commissioners and Ralph R. Joyce, Esq., was elected Clerk of
both boards. Throughout the year, the Selectmen made a number of appointments
to various Town committees.
The Selectmen welcomed a new member, Christine M. Smith, to the Board and
thanked R. Louis DiFruscio for his hard work while serving as a Selectman.
Several Town positions were filled during the year. After serving the Town as
Executive Secretary for six and one-half years, Brian F. Sullivan resigned to
take a position as Deputy Executive Secretary for the Town of Brookline. The
Board would like to commend Brian for his many years of dedication and hard
work. The Selectmen, with the invaluable assistance of the Executive Secretary
Search Committee, reviewed over 100 applications for the position of Executive
Secretary. John P. Bohenko, who served as Assistant to the Mayor in East
Hartford, Connecticut, was hired and began his work at the Town offices on June
first.
Lieutenant Edward T. Sullivan was appointed head of the Town's Police
Department as the Chief after Acting Police Chief Russell Donnelly retired,
During the time Chief Donnelly served the community, he performed in a
professional and caring manner. Also, in the Police Department, the Selectmen
appointed a new lieutenant, two new sargeants, three new full-time permanent
police officers, and six permanent reserve police officers.
The Board added three new staff members to the Community Development Office
during the year. Richard K. Domas is hard at work in his new position as the
Director of Community Development. In order to administer the Housing
Rehabilitation portion of the Small Cities Block Grant Program, Joseph Satlak
was hired as Housing Manager and Joseph Rajewski was hired as Housing
Rehabilitation Specialist.
As the year progressed to a close, Ralph R.. Joyce, Esq. resigned his position
on the Board. The Selectmen commend Ralph on his six years of service as a
Selectman and wish him well in his future endeavors.
During the past year, increasing responsibilities were placed on the
Selectmen's Office through new federal, state and local legislation which has
required a greater commitment of time and effort on the part of each Selectman
and their Executive Secretary. In addition to regular weekly meetings,
numerous work sessions were held throughout the year. In addition to
Selectmen's meetings, the day-to-day administrative tasks of the Selectmen's
Office include: maintenance of Town buildings, awarding of contracts,
approving payment of bills, issuing licenses, defending suits against the Town,
administration of insurance programs, preparation of jury lists, appointments
of committees and processing citizens' complaints. Additional highlights of an
active Selectmen's calendar include:
o Development and approval of the Town's Affirmative Action Plan
and Fair Housing Plan.
o Negotiated contract settlements with the Fire Union and Public
Works Union.
o Construction underway for the new Senior Citizens' Center and
Municipal Parking Lot. Total project cost will be $562,500
which is funded through Community Development Block Grant
funds.
Extension of the Town's Housing Rehabilitation Grant. Work
under this grant includes bringing housing units up to present
day building code requirements and improvements to elderly
housing complexes.
Initiation of a traffic study regarding the feasibility of an
access road to the Davis and Furber complex. Study funded
through the Community Development Block Grant Program.
Planning and design initiated for major improvements to the
Town's Central Business District.
o Completion of electrical rewiring of the Town Office Building.
o Approval of a $197 million industrial revenue bond issue for
the construction of the North East Resource Recovery plant
located in North Andover.
The Licensing Commissioners issued 110 licenses during the
year.
Ownership of the Holt Road sanitary landfill was transferred to
the Commonwealth.
In conclusion, the Board would like to express its deep appreciation and thanks
to our state officials, Town committees, department heads and employees. We
would also like to recognize our administrator, John P. Bohenko and our
secretaries, Alice M. Letarte, Karen A. Robertson, and Catherine J. Foley for
their assistance during the year.

Advisory Board
The Advisory Board, also known as the Finance Committee, is a nine-member board
of North Andover residents who are appointed by the Town Moderator for three-
year terms. According to the Town by-laws, the Advisory Board is charged with
the responsibility of reviewing all proposed fiscal budgets of the numerous
Town departments and committees and of making recommendations at the Annual
Town Meeting not only on the adoption of these budgets, but also on the
adoption of all other articles that may appear on the Town Meeting Warrant.
Additionally, the Advisory Board manages a so-called reserve fund. This fund
is used to supplement the budgets of the various Town departments and
committees when these departments and committees are faced with unforseen
expenditures that can not be paid for out of their respective budgets for any
one of the numerous reasons. For fiscal 1983, Town Meeting approval set this
fund at $139,000.00. During the course of its administration of this fund, the
Advisory Board approved transfers totalling $138,872.07: the balance of this
fund, $127.93, went to the Town's general fund. By way of comparison, in
fiscal 1982, the Advisory Board approved transfers out of the reserve fund in
the amount of $239,619.33.
The Advisory Board sponsored Article 113 that was on the Warrant for the
April 23, 1983, Annual Town Meeting. This article was overwhelmingly passed,
and the effect of this article is to require the Assessors to utilize all "new
growth" in calculating the total taxes assessed for any fiscal year in
accordance with General Laws Chapter 59, Section 2lC(f). The purpose of th~s
article was to soften the domino effect of Proposition 2 1/2 on the Town's
ability to keep up with the ever-increasing costs of government.
The Advisory Board met approximately sixty times between September, 1982, and
April, 1983, and met an additional seven times between April 23, 1983, and the
close of the fiscal year. The men and women who serve on the Advisory Board
receive no compensation for their services rendered to the Town, as the Board
is a voluntary agency of the Town in its truest sense. The Board has a
secretary who attends all its meetings, and she is a vital force insuring not
only the success of the functions of the Board, but also the coalition of
facts, figures, and recommendations that are published and mailed to the
residents of the Town in the Advisory Board's Warrant Report.
The Advisory Board would like to thank Selectman Charles A. Salisbury for the
contribution of his personal time and energy during the past year that was
occasioned by the resignation of the Board of Selectmen's Executive Secretary.
His efforts not only assisted the Advisory Board in its deliberations and
recommendations, but he also served the Town's interests, unselfishly, during a
period of time when the Town was without the services of the Selectmen's
Executive Secretary.

The Board of Appeals had an active year conducting 11 regular and 3 special
meetings.
Petitions filed for variances, special permits, and parties aggrieved numbered
57, and following presentations to the Board at public hearings, 38 were
granted, 17 were denied, and 2 were withdrawn.
The majority of the requests were for setback, frontage, and area variances. A
variety of others were requests for a heliport, conversions to multi-family
dwellings, and for family suites or "in-law" apartments.
Public hearings were customarily held on the second Monday of each month in the
Town O~fice Meeting Room unless otherwise advertised due to displacement by
Monday holidays.
The Board would like to express

Civil Defense
I hereby submit my twelfth annual report as Civil Defense Director of the Town
of North Andover for the period through June, 1983. Following are some of the
highlights for this reporting period:
Our 1983 program paper was approved by the Mass. Civil Defense Agency. This
continues our eligibility to participate in all surplus property programs and
includes reimbursement by Federal Matching Funds of one-half of ali Civil
Defense salaries and administrative expenses.
Due to austerity programs, we were not able to avail ourselves of any grant
money from local industry to be used in the procurement of a repeater to
enhance our communications capability. However, by diligent financial
management and thanks to the efforts of our newly appointed Communications
Officer, Joseph Sullivan, Jr., we have been procuring our repeater on a modular
basis (i.e. basic repeater, controller, cavities, and duplexers, accessories,
emergency power switchover, etc.). By late fall of 1983, we hope to have our
repeater operational finally giving us a dedicated 24 hour communications
capability in event of emergencies. We pride ourselves on meeting this
equipment requirement within our limited budgetary resources with no outside
financial assistance. Mr. Benjamin Farnum has kindly offered us the
utilization of space for our repeater on Boston Hill at the former MITRE/Air
Force site. This will provide us with an ideal equipment and antenna location
at the highest point in this area, assuring us of line of sight communications
with no obstructions. We plan to avail ourselves of Mr. Farnum's kind offer
and wish to thank him publicly for his civic mindedness and cooperation to
enhance our communications posture.
Our Auxiliary Police, under the leadership of Sgt. R. Dennis Dionne, have
provided the community with over 1,000 hours of voluntary service this last
year. They continue to provide a vandalism patrol of all our Town public
schools, playgrounds, and other Town facilities. At the discretion of the
Police Chief and under the auspices of the regular department, they render
support in crowd control during all scheduled parades, road races,
blke-a-thons, Halloween patrols, etc. They maintain proficiency by annually
scheduling training courses in first aid, water safety, vehicular extrication,
firearms safety, and other related subject. At this time we wish to offer
Police Chief Russell Donnelly our sincere best wishes in his retirement, and we
offer our thanks for all the support he has extended to the Auxiliary Police.
In the same vein, we extend our congratulations to the newly appointed Police
Chief, Mr. Edward Sullivan, and look forward to a happy association such as we
have enjoyed with his predecessor.
Our Emergency Operating Center (EOC) has been completely updated, but we will
still not be able to avail ourselves of it until the completion of the Senior
Center which will be butted to the Civil Defense side of the Town Building, and
we will be utilizing a common entry to gain access to both the Senior Center
and the Civil Defense EOC. Full utilization of our EOC is expected to take
place approximately in the winter of 1984. Upon completion of the Senior
Center, we will again commence to exercise all our communications equipment in
the EOC on a weekly basis. We are currently operating our weekly
communications checks, including state and local Civil Defense nets, from our
homes. We are happy to report that our communications proficiency is being
maintained.
The following are the current members of the RACES Communications group:
Communications Officer Joseph Sullivan, Jr., William Sherlock, Carleton Wilson,
Douglas Wilson, Richard Slade, Leonard Somers, Gerald Rowen, David Upton,
Joseph Demers, and Edwin Adams. CB'ers Joseph Whitehead and Ernest Harvey.
In Memoriam
We were deeply saddened at the loss of Mr. Ridgely Underwood,
Communications Officer of the North Andover Civil Defense
RACES group, throughout the tenure of the undersigned. Ridge
had been affiliated with the RACES operation for over 20
years and was a tower of strength during some critical
periods of its growth. His wide communications will be badly
missed. We will also miss him as a very decent individual
and a personal friend.
Our Auxiliary Police group members remain very busy with a fairly heavy
schedule under the command of Sgt. R. Dennis Dionne: Executive Officer
Ernest Harvey, Patrolmen Carl Wagoner, Michael J. Twomey, Jr.,
Hilton P. Cormey, John J. Zaccari, Joseph R. Hamman, Joseph Sullivan, Jr.,
Richard C. Boettcher, and Eileen Burns.
We continue our recruitment efforts for a select group of volunteers willing to
serve the North Andover community in either the Communications or Auxiliary
Police fields or as a Civil Defense Staff Officer. The communicators must hold
a valid Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Amateur license, and the
Auxiliary Police volunteers must be over 21 years of age. All applicants will
be considered regardless of sex, race, or creed. We welcome any suggestions
that will make our group more responsive to emergency situations. A call to
the undersigned or any member of our group may be utilized to effect the
necessary contact.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Radio Emergency Associated
Citizens Team (REACT) Methuen Team 2771. This dedicated group of volunteers
are always ready to assist in response to calls for assistance for local
causes. I highly commend the attitude of these individuals.
Finally, I am well aware that without the cooperation of our Civil Defense
volunteers and all the Town department heads and their staffs, the services we
are able to contribute to the community would be very limited. I wish to call
attention to some of the individuals who have lent us support during this
reporting period. These names do not necessarily reflect all of the
individuals who assist us tremendously in our day-to-day activities: The
Honorable Board of Selectmen, Advisory Board, Police Chief Russell Donnelly,
Fire Chief William V. Dolan, all Town department heads, and their respective
staffs. Also, Communications Officer Joseph Sullivan, Jr. and all members of
the RACES group, Sgt. R. Dennis Dionne and the Auxiliary Police volunteers, and
last but not least, my stalwart Deputy Director John Lyons for his endless
support.
Respectfully submitted,
John J. Coco
Civil Defense Director, North Andover
Conservation Commission
The North Andover Conservation Commission, once again, reports an active and
busy year in fiscal 1983. The greatest portion of our time was spent
administering the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' and the Town of North
Andovers' Wetlands Protection laws. The work load has become such that in some
near future year, the Town should consider appointing a full-time conservation
officer to administer the daily requirements of the Commission.
In fiscal 1983, the Commission received 38 Notices of Intents and 11 Requests
for Determination and as many public hearings were held. 38 Orders of
Condition were issued, numerous Orders extended, and a great many Compliances
issued. In addition, the Commission held a great many site visits and held
numerous sub-committee meetings and work sessions.
On April t, 1983, the Commonwealth's new regulations governing wetlands went
into effect. In preparation for this, most Commissioners attended work
sessions held in various locations throughout the Commonwealth. These sessions
were held as all-day sessions or over the course of several evenings. The
sessions were held to explain the complexities of the changes in the wetlands
regulations.
In summary, the Commission's year has been full and active. The Commission
thanks you for your support, past, present, and future.

A brief update on our efforts to provide adequate fire protection:
As a result of Town Meeting action, Engine 2 has been refurbished. The
apparatus body has been replaced by a new one of extruded aluminum.
Appreciably extended life can be expected due to this action, and we invite you
to drop by Station 2 to see what your money has accomplished.
After more than 30 years of service to the Town of North Andover as both a call
and permanent firefighter, Henry Martin retired from the force on April 30,
1983.
A new position was added to the department as a result of Town Meeting, and we
now have a minimum of four men on duty at Station 2 during weekdays.
the
The department acted as host for a Fire Prevention Course conducted by
Mass. Fire Academy for area firefighters in February.
We have also been active in sponsoring courses for the general public.
Seminars in wood stove safety at the Main Street Station and courses in
Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation at the library have been well attended.
The smoke detector legislation which was accepted by the Town has been a major
project for the department, and we plan to sponsor seminars to assist the
townspeople in complying with the law as well as learning the value of these
early warning devices.
We thank all the members of the Fire Department and all Town departments for
the cooperation we have received, but most of all, we thank the townspeople of
North Andover for their continued support.

Greater Lawrence Sanitary District
Introduction
The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Wastewater Treatment Facility continued
to provide service to residential, commercial, and industrial users in 1982.
Since its initial operation in April, 1977, the facility has treated more than
57 billion gallons of wastewater that was previously discharged, untreated,
into the Merrimack River. During 1982, the average flow through the plant was
31.06 million gallons/day.
Since each community pays for their proportionate share of the District's
operating costs, it is necessary to measure the amount of wastewater from each.
In 1982, Lawrence's average daily flow amounted to 17.29 million gallons per
day (55.68%), Methuen's was 7.24 million gallons per day (23.30%), Andover's
was 3.88 million gallons per day (12.488), and North Andover's was 2.65 million
gallons per day (8.54%). These percentages are used to establish the annual
assessment for each community, e.g. North Andover will pay 8.54% of the total
operation and maintenance costs of the District.
The plant is currently staffed by 62 people. The operation is continuous 24
hours per day and 365 days per year. The District Commission meets monthly to
address policy matters.
Operations and Maintenance
In 1982, the approximately 6,500 tons of solids were removed from the
wastewater, dewatered, and incinerated to a sterile ash. The power requirement
for pumping and treating the wastes amounted to 11.5 million KWH or $716,000.
The plant effluent was treated with 135 tons of chlorine to kill any bacteria
before discharging to the Merrimack River.
The septage handling facility continued to have an impact on water quality in
the northeast part of the state by providing an approved disposal site for
handling residential septic tank wastes. The District expanded its service
area to include septage from 25 communities. The additional waste load is
assimilated into the existing reserve capacity included in the plant. This
excess capacity also allows the District to receive wastewater sludge from the
Towns of Maynard and Rockport, the City of Lowell, and Western Electric. This
service is extended until these communities complete modifications of their
wastewater treatment facilities.
The monies received from septic tank pumpers and the communities of Maynard,
Rockport, and Lowell are used to reduce the operating budget and assessment to
District member communities.

The belt filter press installed in 1981 produced savings in fuel for
incineration and power required by sludge dewatering equipment. It is
estimated that $166,000 was saved as a result of installation of the belt
filter press. This annual savings will increase each year as the cost of
energy escalates.
The second major energy conservation project undertaken in 1982 was the
installation of a hydroelectric generator in the plant's outfall structure.
This generator will recover 1 million kilowatt hours of power from the plant's
effluent each year and reduce the amount purchased from the utility by $70,000.
The generator was delivered at the end of the year and construction of the
equipment powerhouse started at the same time. Operation should commence in
the fall of 1983.

An Agreement was signed on August 10, 1982, with the Town of Salem,
New Hampshire, which will provide for the treatment and disposal of Salem's
wastewater at the District's facility. The District will have to construct an
interceptor through Lawrence and Methuen to accomplish the tie-in. The
District communities benefit by having Salem share in the fixed operation and
maintenance costs and share in the debt service. The agreement represents an
achievement in cooperation between two states and five communities.
Financial Manggement
The District continues to be successful in managing finances to keep the local
assessments down in spite of increases in the cost of doing business. For the
fourth year in a row, the approved budget is lower than the previous year as
summarized below. This is a result of maximizing the yield from investments,
energy conservation, taking in sludge and septage from outside the District,
and efficient operation. The numbers speak for themselves.
Fiscal Year 1981 - $3.42 million
Fiscal Year 1982 - $3.32 million
Fiscal Year 1983 - $3.29 million
Fiscal Year 1984 - $3.24 million
Although it becomes increasingly difficult to keep costs down, the District
will continue to pursue this goal and rel~ on the resourcefulness of its
employees to accomplish it. We have been very successful to date.

Health, Board of
The Board of Health continues to monitor the implementation of the rules and
regulations as set forth in the Sanitary Code of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. This code includes minimum standard for food service
establishments, installation of septic systems, beach and swimming facilities,
plumDing, recreational camps, and fitness of dwellings for human habitation.
In several instances, this Board has prescribed stricter minimum standards
regulating these functions than are required by the state code.
Community Health
Our October, 1982, influenza immunization clinic had the largest number of
participants in the last several years. A total of 871 people received the
vaccine provided by the State Health Department and administered under the
direction of this Board. We function with a limited staff and are ever
grateful to the volunteer nurses and clerical helpers that assist in this
procedure each year.
The vaccine for this winter contains the new strain of flu virus, A.
Philippine, and is strongly recommended for those 60 years of age or older and
for all persons with a chronic illness regardless of age. The Bangkok strain
caused nearly all the outbreaks in nursing homes and hospitals, whereas, the
milder Brazil strain was associated principally with school outbreaks which
occurred late in the season.
Pneumococcal vaccine is available through private physicians and may be
administered at the same time as influenza vaccine. Under laws passed by
Congress, pneumococcal vaccine may be administered by private physicians to
Medicare recipients and charged to Medicare after June 30, 1981.
Our public health nurse checks each month on all reported communicable
diseases, particularly those with active or arrested tuberculosis and persons
known to have contact with the disease in this or any other Town. All these
persons must report on a regular basis to a physician or to the local clinic.
Therapeutic drugs are available for those who need them and are dispensed by
the pharmacy of the Lawrence General Hospital upon request of the local clinic.
All services relating to tuberculosis, including X-rays, provided through this
Board are free of charge.
Ail vaccines and testing kits are made available, free of charge, to all local
physicians by this Board. Communicable diseases should be reported either by
the attending physician or the patient so that proper statistics can be
reported to the State Health Records Department. Our nurse will be available
for all follow-up work on any reported disease.
Our nurse makes home visits to prematurely born infants to check on their
progress after leaving the hospital. There were six such babies this past year
in our Town.
Environmental Health
Lessening of economic pressures in the building trades has resulted in an
increase in home building in this past year. For this period, 171 soil tests
were witnessed for the installation of subsurface sewerage disposal systems on
land not serviced by our public sewer system. Approximately 85% of all new
building occurs in unsewered areas.
15
The need for much closer supervision of septic installations has been apparent
for some time, and this year the Board welcomed the arrival of our first
full-time sanitary inspector. Funds were made available in January, 1983, and
in just six months, daily supervision and strict enforcement of the regulations
of Title V of the State Sanitary Code have shown marked improvements in this
phase of our operations.
The increase in building has been reflected in the increase in plumbing
permits. Permits issued only to licensed plumbers are required by law on all
new installations and all repair jobs. Every home owner contracting for
plumbing services should insist on a licensed plumber and proper permits issued
by this Board in order to be assured of quality work and adherence to state
rules and regulations. Without permits, work is not inspected by our local
plumbing inspector.
Food service establishments are checked monthly by our registered sanitarian.
Storage areas are checked and bacterial counts are taken on utensils. Dairy
products on display are watched closely for expiration dates, and quality
samples are done on a random basis among various stores.
The State Health Department has been emphasizing its enforcement of Article 2
of the Sanitary Code which deals with dwellings fit for human habitation, and
the number of requested inspections has increased. Tenant complaints must be
presented in writing before an inspector is sent out. Many complaints stem
from legal arguments between tenants and landlords, and absentee landlords
create a problem in any quick solution of complaints.
Licenses are issued by this Board for public and semi-public swimming pools.
Inspections are made during the swimming season. Private home pools are not
licensed or inspected. Water samples are collected by the water analyst of the
Public Works Department, tested in their lab, and reports forwarded to this
Board. Particular attention is paid to the testing and inspection of our Town
beach, Stevens Pond. The refreshment stand open for the summer season is also
inspected by our sanitarian.
The Board licensed several sport recreational training camps at private schools
in Town this summer. The facilities required several inspections during the
season relative to safety conditions, food service, and living arrangements.
The necessary permits for all the above-stated activities issued by this Board
resulted in a total collection of $20,607.00 deposited with the Town Treasurer.

Housing Authority
As Executive Director, I am pleased to submit, on behalf of the North Andover
Housing Authority Board of Directors and its Chairwoman, Anna P. O'Connor, the
Authority's 35th Annual Report for fiscal year ending September 30, 1983. This
report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 12lB of the General Laws of
Massachusetts, which governs housing authorities.
During the year, the Authority has assisted and provided low-rent subsidized
units for approximately 350 citizens of our Town. These low-rent units are
distributed in six developments, which consist of 239 units of elderly and 24
units of veteran's housing. As well as our publicly-owned apartments, the
Authority also administers, through the use of federal funds, a rental subsidy
program. The program subsidizes tenants in existing housing that is funded
pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937. An Annual
Contribution Contract has been executed with the Federal Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). This program is designed to provide a Federal
subsidy for housing to eligible moderate- and low-income families, as well as
to elderly individuals. The goal of the program is to coordinate both the
private and public sector for the purpose of meeting the housing needs of our
community. It offers North Andover resident families, in need of housing or
housing assistance, a choice of residence among virtually every apartment that
qualifies within the Housing Code Guidelines and Fair Market Rental guidelines.
The success of this program is greatly dependent upon the support of our local
landlords, which I am pleased to report have been very cooperative.
The Authority is further committed to aid in remedying the financial burden of
housing for our residents. As of the publication of this report, the Authority
has a pending application with HUD for the financial resources to fund an
additional 36 units of Section 8.
This fall, the Authority celebrated its first full year at Morkeski Meadows.
The specific housing objective of this development was founded on our basic
philosphy that the overall housing development would achieve innovative and
creative architectural treatment, with high quality construction techniques, to
be located so as to enhance the particular neighborhood. Our first year has
passed with no major problems, nor are any anticipated.
The record, to date, of the Authority, has been substantial, both by the number
of housing units constructed, as well as the high caliber of the developments.
To insure this continued high standard, the Housing Authority has actively
pursued state and federal modernization funding. The Authority was successful
in obtaining $123,154 from the Executive Offices of Communities and Development
(EOCD) for energy improvements. Additionally, the Authority received from the
Town's Community Development Block Grant funds, $190,000. These funds were
used to upgrade our existing, older housing projects, with the majority of the
funds being used for insulation, storm windows, and storm doors. Grant money
spent in these areas has insured both the comfort of the tenant, as well as
energy efficiency and cost saving to the Housing Authority.
Listed below the reader will find a breakdown of funding as received by each of
the agencies:
Modernization Funding Received - 1982

The Authority will continue to endeavor to maintain its housing developments,
which will insure the future integrity in a manner to which the Town has become
accustomed as evidenced by the ambitious modernization program undertaken in
the fiscal year ending 1984.
The Authority was deeply saddened by the loss of our long-time board member,
Thomas Foulds, who passed away this past year. Mr. Foulds was a board member
for over 25 years of continuous service and was a member during the
construction of all five of our elderly housing developments. Mr. Foulds was
honored by our community and the Authority in 1972, when they named Foulds
Terrace after him.
Through public election held in March of 1983, Mr. Foulds nephew,
Foulds, was elected to serve the rest of his unexpired term.

The Housing Authority expresses its sincere appreciation to Town departments
and citizens of North Andover who supported and assisted the Authority in the
development of our much needed housing program and in our continuous effort to
provide adequate housing for all residents of our community.

Personnel Board
The Personnel Board is a volunteer board of citizens charged with the
responsibility of administering the Personnel By-Law which includes salary,
classification, and fringe benefit plans for Town employees.
The Personnel Board presented nine (9) articles at the Annual Town Meeting.
These articles dealt with cost-of-living adjustments, the elimination of the
title Call Fire Captain, the addition of a new section to the By-Law entitled
Retirement, and the amending of the Vacation Section of the By-Law.
During fiscal year 1983, the Personnel Board also contracted with the
Massachusetts Municipal Association to conduct a compensation and
classification study in accordance with an article passed at the 1982 Annual
Town Meeting. The resulting compensation and classification plan is being
further refined during fiscal year 1984 for future consideration by the Town.
In addition, the Board plans to conduct a thorough review of the Personnel
By-Law during fiscal year 1984.
The Board holds one to three meetings per month. These meetings are open to
the public and are posted in Town Hall at least two days in advance with time
and location indicated.

Planning Board
The Planning Board has completed another active year, conducting 22 regular
meetings and 1 special meeting, as well as several "on-site" meetings for a
variety of proposals.
During the year, the Board held 45 public hearings, 36 of which were held prior
to the Annual and Special Town Meetings concerning proposed changes and
amendments to the Town's Zoning By Law and zoning map. As the result of the
formation of a special committee charged with studying the Zoning By Law,
several revisions and additions were made to our By-Law resulting in a more
consistent, easy-to-read text.
In addition to the many changes made to the Zoning By Law, the Board amended
their Rules and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land to include a
Flood Hazard Avoidance section.
The remaining public hearings were held for requests for special permits to
allow construction within the Watershed, a common driveway, and the conversion
of Campion Hall, now known as Hardtcourt Manor, into 24 condominium units. Of
the 6 requests for special permits to construct within the Watershed, 5 were
granted and 1 was denied by the Board. The common driveway request was
withdrawn prior to action being taken. The conversion of Campion Hall into
condominium units was granted by the Planning Board, but this decision has been
appealed to the courts.
2 preliminary plans for subdivisions were submitted to the Board resulting in
the approval of one and the denial of the other.
Although no definitive subdivision plans were submitted to the Board during the
year, the Town's largest development to date, known as "Bear Hill" and
consisting of 127 acres subdivided into 86 lots, was approved following several
months of discussions and reviews by the Board.
Attorney John A. James. Jr. was appointed to the Board in June, replacing
Member Walter R. McDonough. The Board takes this opportunity to welcome
Mr. James and to thank Mr. McDonough for his service on the Board.
Our Board continues to be staffed by a full-time Town Planner and a
secretary, and we thank them for their continued assistance both at
Board meetings and on a daily basis.

Our meetings continue to be well attended by the citizens of North Andover, 'and

There were installed in 1982 - 1983, either wholly or partially, 136 new water
services. The new and renewed water services equalled 1.94 miles of type 'K"
copper service pipe. 108 new meters were installed, 52 old meters were
repaired, and 2 fire hydrants broken off by cars were replaced. All hydrants
were inspected, repaired, and painted where necessary. The annual inspection
of the 1,900 gate valves and valve boxes in the system was completed.
Floridation has been continually maintained by the Public Works Department and
levels monitored by both ourselves and the State Department of Environmental
Quality Engineering. By-weekly bacterial examinations of the water supplied
the Town were made by this department at our water testing laboratory.
Check valves between the public water supply and other sources of supply for
industrial and commercial uses have been made in cooperation with the
Department of Environmental Engineering.
Town Meeting appropriated $30,000 in May to perform additional pumping tests on
several proposed well field sites in conformance with state requirements. The
old six-inch water main on Salem Street from Stevens Street to Marbleridge Road
was replaced with 3,500 feet of twelve-inch ductile iron cement lined pipe.
The driveway from Main Street into the Middle School was prepared and a finish
coat of hottop was applied.
15 sewer connections totalling 1,148 feet were ]aid between buildings and main
sewers. Cleaned were 88 sewers, most of them blocked with roots. All main
sewers were inspected, cleaned, and flushed in the spring as usual with the
flexible seweroder.
The cooperation of all other departments is gratefully acknowledged with
particular thanks to Tree Warden Leo Lafond, and Highway Surveyor
William A. Cyr.

intersections - a total of 15 acres.
Rea's Pond, Steven's Pond, and Becky's Pond at the training ground were flooded
and cleared of snow for skating. All park areas were fertilized, mowed, and
maintained as usual. An ever-increasing demand for the use of the Center
Common for civic and privately sponsored events has made the maintenance of
this area more difficult than previous years. The Public Works Department has
maintained the school grounds exclusive of the buildings since 1954. The areas
involved are: Bradstreet School, 1.20 acres; Thomson School, 3.00 acres;
Kittredge School, 6.57 acres; Franklin School, 8.77 acres; North Andover Middle
School and Atkinson School, 38.34 acres; and the new Senior High School, 44.52
acres - a total of 102.40 acres.
Varsity and junior varsity baseball fields and the track and field event
facilities at the Middle School were marked out and prepared over thirty times
from April to June for competitive school events with outside schools, as well
as constantly maintained for practice. The varsity, junior varsity, and
freshman field hockey and baseball fields were marked out and prepared and
maintained at the new high school. The High School, Thomson, Kittredge,
Franklin, Atkinson, and Middle School Grounds and athletic fields were
fertilized, mowed, and maintained as usual. The football bleachers at the
Middle School were repaired, scraped, and sanded where required and also
painted. Snow pipes were placed along driveways at all the schools to prevent
snow vehicles from damaging turf areas.

Recreation Department
1983 marked the 37th year of organized playground activities in the Town of
North Andover. The Recreation Department began the year with ice skating on
Sunday evenings at the Brooks School skating rink. The children enjoyed the
ice skating for 2 hours every Sunday evening. During the school vacations of
December and February, the ice was available the whole week with the children
being bussed to the rink. The season ended the last Sunday in February. This
past year was one of the most successful in recent years.
Summer brought the second phase of the Recreation Department. Playgrounds
opened June 28 with a registration of 405 children. The Town provides 7
playgrounds at various locations of the Town~ all playgrounds have 2
instructors assigned to them. The program consists of many events which are
for the most part, free. Every week the playgrounds follow a planned, yet
flexible, schedule. Sports including kickball, softball, volleyball,
basketball, and a field day as main events. Twice a week the children had art
with a variety of projects. Special events, field trips, and special visitors
were scheduled weekly. Once a week there was an Instructors Day when the
instructors of each park planned an event for their playground.
The playgrounds of 1983 offered a great variety of events. The old, but loved,
activities included going to Hampton Beach, racing down the alpine slide at
Boston Hill, competing at Field Day, enjoying Canobie Lake Park, getting a
hole-in-one at miniature golf, stuffing oneself with a super ice cream sundae,
and the traditional cookout at the end of the summer with games, food, and
swimming. The new events were also a great success. The program has tried to
expose the children to new ideas and activities for enrichment and fun. The
festival on the common this year was tremendous. On stage was a puppet show, a
clown act, and a magician all opened to the public free of charge. The
instructors ran the booths of games, food, and face painting. Another week we
welcomed a storyteller, Judith Black: she sparked the attention and imagination
of all. A man with a spectacular live bird collection also dazzled the
audience. Dick Lucius brought with him a great horned owl, two falcons, a
golden eagle, and a red tailed hawk. Pontine Mime visited the Recreation
Department and demonstrated the art of mime while the audience participated.
The everyday events of sports and art played a major role in the summer
program. Throughout the 8 weeks, there was an ongoing softball compet~.tion.
Grogans won the championship as they did last year.
Art introduced many new ideas from using theatrical make up, sand painting,
clay modeling, puppetry, to geometric designs. Accompanied with all these
events are the usual fun and games, water balloon fights, bike rides, hikes,
picnics, scavenger hunts, and talent shows.
The summer of 1983 was a very hot one, and this effected the attendence on some
days during the summer. We plan a very fun-packed summer in 1984 and hope to
have all the kids in Town attend.
The evening programs during the summer were packed with activities. We have a
16-team men's softball league - play starts in early May and ends in September.
A 10-team women's softball league starts the same time and ends with playoffs
in late August. A total of 250 men played in the men's league, and 150 women
played in the women's softball league. A girls softball program for girls 8 to
13 years old is held with the girls playing 2 nights a week - 1 league playing
Monday and Wednesday, and the older girls playing Tuesday and Thursday. We
have 2 pony baseball leagues, both are made up of 4 teams - 1 league is for
boys 13 years old, and the other league is for boys 14 and 15 years old.
32
Tennis was a popular program th~s year as we had tennis round robins every
Tuesday and Thursday nights and held a junior tourney in July, a Town tourney
in early August, and an open tourney in late August.
We of the Recreation Department would llke to thank the Fire Department, Police
Department, Board of Public Works, Highway Department, Tree Department,
W.C.C.M., and the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune for their help during the year.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Members of the North Andover Community:
The challenge the School Committee continues to face is providing
excellence in education under increasing financial constraints,
In a thorough and open budget process, the Committee examined a
number of fiscal alternatives that would have to be taken, yet maintain
quality programs. Music and Art were re-organized into a Fine Arts
Program and certain Guidance and Special Needs functions were put under
the coordination of a single administrator. User fees for athletic
programs were implemented and a new grouping plan was used at the Middle
School, resulting in a more effective placement of students.
Much needed improvements were made in the facilities at the High
School. The Field House acoustics were dramatically improved; a computer
lab and an additional science lab were built and "quiet areas" were
constructed for use in each of the academic areas.
Joseph Guthrie, a valued and dedicated long-standing member of the
School Committee, moved from Town and resigned his seat. His services to
the Community will be missed. Former member, Richard Haltmaier, agreed to
serve on the Committee for the interim period and his contribution has been
invaluable.
The School Committee's goal is educational excellence. Every effort
is made to maintain high standards, offer quality curricula, and provide
competent staff and adequate resources.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
It is with pleasure and a sense of pride in a fine staff and student body that
this annual report is presented.
Enrollment
Enrollment figures for October 1, 1982 compared with figures for October 1, 1981,
showed a decrease of 140 students. This decrease occurred primarily in the elementary
schools, where there was one-hundred fewer students. The Middle School population
increased By eight students and High School enrollments decreased by forty-eight students.
After several years of declining enrollment in entering kindergarten classes, the
September, 1983 enrollment number was thirty~five higher than a year earlier.
Programs and Activities
Following are brief highlights in statistical and narrative form relating to
programs and student achievements:
I. S~ial Needs Department
Four hundred and forty-two North Andover students participated in a broad range of
special programs and services during the 1982~83 school year.
Therapy services, including speech, occupational therapy and physical therapy are
provided by school system personnel. Psychological and diagnostic services for students
and their families were also provided through the Greater Lawrence Psychological Center
and the Greater Lawrence Mental Health Center.
Specialized curriculum have been developed for children with special learning needs.
These programs are offered through learning centers or resource rooms located within the
school building. A languags-based program is also operated that provides services to
students with moderate language disorders.
The Greater Lawrence Collaborative operates programs for severely handicapped
children. If a local or collaborative program was not available to meet the needs of an
individual child, private school placements were used.
II. Audlo/~is~al Department
Mr. John Robinson, Audio/Visual and Data Processing Coordinator, reported heavy
circulation of hardware and software units throughout the year in all schools.
An additional Betamax was purchased for the High School to help satisfy the heavy
demand for videotape playback. Continental Cablevision provided Channel 25 a Knox 500
Character Generator to be used as a back-up for the Character Generator owned by the
System.
III. Channel 25 Pro~gramming
A four page character generator delivers messages twenty-four hours a day during the
school year. A continuous-play audio tape is also broadcast giving community and school
notices and town historical facts. Regular television broadcasting takes place on Tuesdays
at 6:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. A one-hour student-produced, disc-jockey program,
featuring a popular rock group, is broadcast continuously from 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday
until 9:00 a.m. on Thursday.
35
In his annual report, Mr. Joseph F. Aliquo, ~upe~visor of Art, made the following
comment:
"It is with a sense of pride that I submit my twenty-first and final report as
Art Supervisor for the town of North Andover. With the elimination of the art and music
supervisory positions and the establishment of the position of Supervisor of Fine Arts,
I feel that the art and music programs, in North Andover will attain new heights of
excellence."
The past year saw the Art Department taking part in many school-co~munity oriented
art projects. Art Department personnel were involved with integration of art with other
disciplines as well as with designs for plays, posters, award programs and brochures.
The department once again took part in the National Scholastic Art ExhiBit sponsored by
the Boston GloBe. North Andover High School students received recognition from the
Lawrence TriBnne and the Andover Artists' Guild. High School students were selected and
did attend Saturday art classes sponsored by schools and colleges in Boston. The
Department took part in individual exhibits throughout the system and took an active
role in the Festival of the Arts program.
V. Music
Course offerings were evaluated and revised where appropriate. The chorus and
band programs continued to service a large population of students at the Elementary to
High School levels.
Miss Mary Healey has served diligently and well as Music Supervisor for the past
twelve years. The Music and Art Departments will he combined next year into a Department
of Fine Arts.
VI. Co~m~u~ity EMenin$. School
There were two ten-week semesters of the North Andover Community School Program
conducted on a self-sustaining basis by tuition receipts.
Semester I ran from October 4th through December 13th. Twenty-four courses were
offered and 743 persons were enrolled.
Semester II ran from January 24th through April 4th. Forty~one courses were offered
and 922 persons were enrolled.
VII. Alternative Evenin~ School
There were two semesters of the Alternative Evening SChool, which ran simultaneously
with the Community School Program. Both semesters ran for sixty days or 120 hours.
Students were not in session during regular school holidays.
The schedule of classes was as follows; Monday and Wednesday 6:00 - 9:00 p.m., Math
and Science; Tuesday and Thursday, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m., English and Social Studies. During
the first semester 22 students were enrolled and 23 students were enrolled during the
second semester.
VIII. Summer School
This was the twenty~third annual session of the North Andover Summer School. Enroll-
ment was 261 students in the strictly academic program necessitated by Proposition 2~.
This emrollment represented a fifty-nine student increase over the 202 students who were
enrolled in academic programs in 1981.
36
IX. EXCEL
During the spring of 1983 the North Andover Public Schools piloted an after school
creative enrichment program for students in grades K-5.
The program ran eight weeks from March 28th through May 27th, from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m.,
Mondays through Thursdays. The program offered a variety of enrichment programs including
Foreign Language, Computers, Painting and Crafts and Music.
340 students in grades K-5 participated in the program.
Co-educational~Physical Education Program
Elementary and Middle School classes met twice weekly. Freshmen took physical
education two periods a w~ek all year; juniors and seniors a half year and sophomores took
physical education three times a week for one semester and once a week during the
semester that they take the required health education course.
A cumulative testing program (A.A.H.P.E.R.) was implemented for grades 3-12; and,
in grades K~2, students were administered a standard perceptual-motor test. Results,
compared with national norms, were Better than average.
Field Days were conducted on the Elementary and Middle School levels. Field Day at
the High School was cancelled because of inclement weather.
Students at all three levels were screened for the adaptive physical education
program with over fifty Boys and girls, K~12 ultimately selected to participate in the
adaptive physical education program.
XI. Health Education Proi~r~am
Primary classroom teachers' taught Health Education a minimnm of twenty-flve minutes
per week. "Project Charlie" was implemented on a pilot Basts to grade 3 students at the
Franklin School. Jane Guild and Eva Lovett (Yolunteer parents) organized and taught the
program.
Health and Physical Education teachers taught health education classes, one period
a week, for the entire year, in grade 8, and two periods a week, for a semester, for all
sophomores. Instruction in the areas of venereal diseases, family life, and sex education
were offered to students in grade 10 who had parental approval.
A three-credit course on Alcohol/Drug Education was taken 5y twenty teachers,
representing all levels of the system.
A state mandated pastural screening program was conducted for all students in
grades 5 - 9.
Dru~ and Alcohol Abuse: An interdisciplina~f in.service workshop was funded
through a federal project. The workshop resulted in the development of curriculum in
the health/science/social studies areas with the major focus on developing student
decision-making skills.
XII. Intramural Pro,ram
Intramural activities, as a phase of the total health and physical education program,
was cancelled this year. A Saturday Morning Basketball Program was offered to all boys
and girls in grades 5-8. Over 200 boys and girls participated.
37
XIII. Athletic Department
There were thirty-two North Andover High School te~ms that competed in eighteen
different sports.
These various sports attracted over 700 athletes. North Andover High School
finished in the top "3" in the over-all (all sports) results for the past nine years.
The Hyland Trophy, emblematic of athletic success, was returned to North Andover in
1982-83.
/IV. Guidance
The Guidance Department, in cooperation with other school personnel and outside
agencies contributed to the following school programst
Testing: System-wide standardized testing, as well as minimum competency testing,
as mandated by the State Department were completed and appropriate analysis were made,
Work-Study/Co-op Ed: A program for High School students in the Special Needs
program was developed that placed students in supervised job experiences. These job
experiences ranged from volunteer placements to on-site training to paid employment. In
addition to Job counseling, students were provided with training on completing applica-
tions, experiencing job interviews, awareness of employer expectations and job
responsibilities.
Counseling: Students at the High School were given an opportunity to participate
in short-term counseling sessions dealing with various adolescent issues. The groups
were co-led by high school counselors and psychologists from the Greater Lawrence
Psychological Center. The success of these groups was attested to by student requests
for additional sessions.
PUp%i Services: The policy and procedure for retentions was reviewed and revised.
Provision for a follow-up study of retained students was recommended.
Parent Services: Several evening programs for parents were held that included:
1. The College Admissions Panel
2. Financial Aid Night
3. "How to Survive Your Child's Adolescence" - a six part lecture/discussion
series conducted by Dr. Michael Finkle under the auspices of the school and the Greater
Lawrence Psychological Center.
This will be the final report from the Director of Guidance since the position has
been phased out in the organizational changes instituted for the next school year.
XV. Elementary_ Schools (K - 8)
During the school year just completed, a number of studies were initiated. Notably~'
considerable time and effort were expended considering alternative school reorganization
plans. As many as seven such plans were developed and considered by administration.
After carefully considering all alternatives, no changes were made.
Alternatives to the Gifted and Talented program implemented in 1982 were considered.
A Co~onwealth In-Service grant entitled "A Course for Gifted and Talented Resource
Teacher Training" was approved. Eighteen teachers participated in this training experience.
The ~fter~school EXCEL Program, directed by Mrs.. Michelle Fitzpatrick, afforded students
fine enric~kment opportunities.
Miss. Adela Dainowski pass.ed away ~n April, 1983 afte~ serving 45 years as an . -
elementary school teacher in North Andover.
38 .~..
In caoperation with the Merrimack Vnlley Textile Museum, an application was
submitted under the Cnlturai Resources Program. The project was funded by a grant
from the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities. The additional funding
allowed an expansion of the longstanding grade five visits to the Textile Museum. A
trained museum demonstrator visited and taught classes before the museum trip. Following
the visit to the museum, the demonstrator returned to the school to reinforce the learning
and stimulate further discussion.
The newly-reorganized kindergarten curriculum and conference form were inaugurated
this year.
A highlight of the year was the pilot program in third grades at the Franklin School
known as "Project Charlie." Charlie is an acronym for Chemical Abuse Resolution Lies in
Education. Based upon a successful evaluation of the pilot program, Project Charlie will
be presented to children in grades one, three and five in all schools next year. This
represents a positive step in reaching young children early on the consequences of
dangerous drug and alcohol experimentation.
Elementary students performed very well on Stanford Achievement Tests administered
in September, 1982. Ail grades, two through eight, maintained a grade level or more
beyond the grade level expectations for the complete battery.
Results obtained on the Basic Skills Improvement testing in grades three, six and
nine were equally encouraging with only a small number of students failing to meet minimum
standards. Students were tested in reading, math, writing and listening skills.
Chapter I, the math compensatory program operating in Kittredge, Atkinson, Bradstreet,
Middle School and St. Michael's, produced significant gains in student achievement and in
the students' attitudes toward school work.
The 1982-83 Block Grant money was expended among the libraries, audio-visual depart-
ment, computer literacy programs and fine arts. Of particular benefit was the effort made
by a dedicated lay committee in cooperation with school personnel in the promotion of
fine arts. Using a small allocation from the block grant as a starting base, the committee
planned for a year to promote a Fine Arts Festival, which was held in May at the North
Andover High School, and during that school week, in the elementary schools. The activity
was a tremendously successful undertaking. Committee members were Susan Battersby, Judith
Gross, Joanne Cahill, Susan Todd, Patricia Daley, Lois Messina and Henry Shelley.
XVI. H_~gh School (9 - 12)
English Dep~rtm~nt. The English curriculum was changed with the introduction of
European Classics, a level two college prepatory course. Comic Spirit was updated and
revised. The name of the course was changed to Insights and Decisions, a strong level
three program.
A citation for excellence in the teaching of writing was awarded to the department
from the National Council of Teachers of English. It seems appropriate to report nnder
English that the Speech Team, directed by Mr. Edward Rudd, had a very successful year.
Two students, Liz Duffy and Sara Dickison, competed at the Nationals in Chicago. The
literary puSlication, under the advisorship of Mrs. Margaret Hannum, demonstrated a high
quality of literary and artistic technique. Finally, the Drama part of our program was
ably directed by Ms. Maloney-Brown. The production of the musicale, Flame, with the help
of many others, including Ms. Beth Graham, Ms. Mary Healey, Mrs. Carolyn Sullivan, Mr.
Bert Noyes, Mr. Paul Spadafore, Mrs. Dolly Grieci, and Mr. Paul Gregoire, was a smashing
success.

Science Department. Under the leadership of Mr. Bennett, the department embarked
on an extensive program to improve procedures for safety. New rules for student safety
were instituted. Chemical storage was improved by separating the various chemicals into
more compatible groups. Additional eye washers were installed along with an infla~nable
storage cabinet.
The department was commended for the initiative shown by putting the entire chemical
inventory on a micro-computer. This assisted teachers greatly in their planning and
preparation.
An analysis of the department's achievement testing program, STEP, reveals that
grade 10 students ranked in the 66 percentile nationally, while grade 11 students ranked
in the 83 percentile.

Over 90% of the students in North Andover High School were enrolled in a mathematics
course during the past school year. There were also two computer courses offered by the
mathematics department which were very popular. One involved the introduction to programming
in BASIC and the other included advanced BASIC as well as an introduction to PASCAL.
The High School's math team had a very successful season. Based upon its record for
the season, the team was invited to the State Tournament and placed 5th. The Math Team
competes in written examinations involving all areas of mathematics.
Also, as in all but one of the past eight years, there were scores of 800 (the top
College Board score) in the Achievement exam. For the second time at N.A.H.S., one student
scored 800 in the College Board Math S.A.T. exam.
Instructional Materials Center. One of the major changes due to Proposition 2%
was the elimination of certain personnel throughout the school system. The high school
library shared two part~time people who served as master librarians. These people, Ms.
Meg Holmes and Ellyn Spencer, provided services to our students and teachers at a high
level.
Athletics. It should be noted that the athletic program, under the direction of
Howard Crozier, Athletic D~rector, enjoyed one of its better years. The climax was winning
the Hyland Trophy, emblematic of success in the overall program, for the third time. The
trophy is now in permanent residence at North Andover High.
4O
For the record, our teams won four Cape Ann League Championships, and two teams
placed second in Sectional State Tournament competition. All coaches and athletes are
to be co,ended for their efforts in retiring the Hyland Trophy.
N.A.H.S. students have diat inguished themselves in many ways during the past
year. Perhaps the most significant was the splendid performance of our outstanding
scholars in the National Merit Scholarship Testing program. Fourteen members of the
Class of 1983 distinguished themselves in this competition. Their names are listed along
with their particular designation in the Merit Program of 1983:
Letters of Commendation:
Lee Altman, Rebecca Balmas, Kelly Comerford, Joy Kaplan, Paula Lawson,
Kevin Redman and K~nneth Rossetti
Semi-Finalist:
James Harmon
Finalists:
Robin Desmet, Charles Gamble and James Williamson
Merit Scholars:
Anthony Galvagna, David McClung and Sunit MukherJee
As a group, the Class of 1983 recorded the highest percentage of students accepted
at four-year colleges and universities in the history of N.A.H.S.
XVI.!. Business Services
This report contains five major sections covering transportation, building mainten-
ance, budgets, food service and personnel.
1. Transportation.
The 1982-83 school year marked a return to normalcy with all regular buses
used prior to Proposition 2~ in operation. B'us routes continued to be complicated hy
the number of students crossing district lines.
Eight of fourteen buses were required to cover more than one school. Some
covered out-of-district students and others were assigned a second route for each
elementary run.
In the afternoon when all schools dismiss at 3:00 p.m., several buses needed
to cover multiple schools. This caused some delay and some complaints by both parents
and staff.
Many field trips were taken. Funding was reduced and most trips were paid hy
student assessment.
There were four minor accidents involving school buses during the year. There
were no injuries,
41
Over the past three years, the percentage of bus riders have remained fairly
consistent.
Year Total Bused Enrollment Percent Bused
1980'81 2,205 3,607 61%
1981-82 2,071 3,547 58%
1982-83 2,031 3,413 60%
2. Building Maintenance.
Ail oil burners were overhauled. The obsolete rotary cup burner in the
Kittredge School was replaced with an atomizing burner. Preliminary indications point
to a reduction of 15% in oil consumption because of this replacement.
The Middle School roof was replaced at a cost of $206,000. Oil consumption in
the Middle S~hool for the past year was down almost 28%. However, the year was 9%
warmer than the thirty year average.
Town Meeting voted $82,000 for several projects at the High School including:
Field House acoustical improvements; construction of quiet areas; a science lab and
computer room,
A Federal grant was received to pay for half the cost of a technical audit at
the Middle School to be completed by August 31, 1983. This audit information may be used
to apply for funding for Federal energy saving projects.
Glass breakage has shown a reduction this past year. One reason for the
reduction is that every year a larger portion of the windows are lexan or plexiglass.
Anew computer was installed in the High School to control heating. This
on-site microcomputer replaces the BOSS System which has been leased from Honeywell over
the past five years.
3. Bud~e.t and Finance.
Proposition 2½ continues to dominate fiscal planning. Appropriations approved
at Town Meeting were $146,766 less than the School Committee approved budget. This
shortfall will be reduced by Special Town Meeting action in the fall, allocating addi-
tional state aid for the schools of $135,000.
1982-83 was a particularly good year with utilities. A decline in oil prices
contributed to this good experience. Using 1976-77 as the base year, the energy
conservation program has produced a total savings of over $650,000 or $110,000 per year.
4. Food Service.
This program operated at a loss during the school year even though participation
increased from 50% in 1981-82 to 54.3% in 1982-83. The increase was largely due to
offering a more varied menu.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
At its October 25, 1982, meeting~ the North Andover School Committee voted to ask the
Town Moderator to reactivate the School Building Committee. The reason for this activity was to
consider potential building improvements to the High School. These had been recommended by the
Principal.
The first meeting was held December 28, 1982. Subsequent meetings through January and
February developed tentative plans for the proposed changes. Estimates were made and three
articles were submitted to the Town Meeting.
The Advisory Board recommended favorable action and the April 23, 1983, Town Meeting
passed three articles:
1. Article 46 -- $30,000 to build quiet areas in the
High School to service principal academic areas.
2. Article 47 -- $23,000 to build a science lab and a
computer room.
3. Article 48 -- $29,000 to install correctional acoustic
improvements to the field house.
The Special Town Meeting of October 27, 1983, in Article 2 voted to transfer $4,000 from
Article 48 to Article 47; new values to be:
Article 46 $30,000
Article 47 27,000
Article 48 25,000
Specifications were prepared by the Committee and bids were opened on June 30, 1983.
These projects were under the new Omnibus Construction Act--Chapter 579 and required careful
attention to legal detail.
Contracts were awarded as follows:
Article 46--Quiet Areas: Patterson Associates of
Lynnfield was low bidder and contracted to build four quiet areas
for $30,000.
Article 47--Computer Room: Patterson Associates was
low bidder on the computer room and contracted to build a computer
room for $5,800.
Article 47--Science Lab: Gene Willis Construction of
North Andover was the only bidder on this project. Me first con-
tracted to build a modified lab for $16,080. After the Special
Town Meeting of October 27, 1983, plans were expanded to include
$2,568 to add more stations to the science lab.
Article 48--Acoustics: Sound Systems Engineering of
Boxford was the low bidder and contracted to do the job for $24,950.
RObert Mascola was elected Chairman.
As of this date, all work is completed except for the second phase in the science lab.
Mr. Nicetta resigned as Chairman on August 1, 1983. At an August 4, 1983, meeting, Mr.
Mr. Nicetta's vacancy has not been filled as yet.
We appreciate the cooperation of the School Department. The projects went well and
there were no significant problems. We look forward to a swift completion early in 1984.

Sealer of Weights & Measures
The Department of Weights and Measures herewith submits its annual report for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1983.
The annual report and legal notice were posted in compliance with Section 37,
Chapter 98, of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Sealer's report is relative to inspections, reweighing, and measuring
devices of various types which were tested, adjusted, and sealed. Legal
sealing fees amounting to $1,403.00 were collected and turned over to the Town
Treasurer.
During the year, 31 complaints were investigated and resolved to the
satisfaction of all parties involved.
Requests by owners and managers of various businesses for additional services
relative to re-testing of weighing and measuring devices were complied with
promptly.
I wish to thank the owners and managers of the various mercantile, mechanical,
and manufacturing concerns for their cooperation and courtesy extended to this
department during the year.

Ernest J. Roberts

Stevens Memorial Library
To the Citizens of North Andover, Massachusetts:
The Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library herewith present their 75th report
which is for the twelve-month period, July 1, 1982, to June 30, 1983.
To the Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library:
I hereby submit the 75th report of the Director.

(2) Does not include magazines, pamphlets, maps, puzzles, art prints, and most

Adult programming this past year included a CPR program, craft prOgrams,
investment workshops, and a reception for Paul Hudon, author of The Valley &
Its People. A wardrobe consultant, a color workshop, and another on flower
arrangement helped many area residents get over a cold winter while a workshop
on furniture refinishing and another on home computers gave us something to do.
The library continues to be open seven days per week - September through June -
and five days a week in July and August. On average, we circulate over five
books per capita, at an average value of over $100 per person. Despite the
reduction of four hours Friday evenings, the Stevens Memorial Library has one
of the lowest staff densities in the state (hour of operation divided by
personnel hours). My deep appreciation goes to the dedicated staff who work
hard to maintain our high standard of service.
The meeting room, which is available free of charge to any non-profit group,
was used an average of 20 times per month. We continue to have passes to the
Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The library continues to benefit from the service
provided by the Eastern Regional Library System. Our ability to receive books
and other regional services helps us provide the best possible service.
The children's library was active this past year running a very original summer
program, conducting pre-school story hours, showing films, hosting school
visits, and providing attractive and timely displays.
During the year, the library received many donations for memorial books. Many
of these donations have helped build our collection of large-print books and
have been marked with a suitable bookplate. We are also especially pleased to
have received $5,000 from the Hay Scales for the purchase of craft books and a
display case.
60
The emphasis of the library this past spring and summer has been automating the
library's circulation system and card catalog. The staff has been busy putting
on computer labels and entering book information into the computer. The Town
has been fortunate that the majority of hardware costs for this project have
come from private sources. The central computer, housed in Andover, and some
extra benefits were paid for from a Federal L.S.C.A. grant of $175,000. Before
the end of 1984, we expect to be fully on line.
It was with great sadness that the library learned of the death of Elizabeth
Allan. She is sorely missed by all of us who worked with her and knew her.
Russell J. Reeve, Director
It is with regret that the Board accepted the resignation of Ms. Helena Wright.
We wish Helena well in her new job at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
During the year, the Board continued to guide the investments and expenditure
of endowed funds and oversee the upkeep of the library building. Thanks to a
grant awarded by the Department of Energy, the energy efficiency of the library
was studied. Over the next two years, we will endeavor to complete all of the
recommendations produced from that study. The Board shares the concerns of the
Director over the continued theft of library materials. We will, through the
use of automation, have greatly improved the accountability of our library's
materials which are borrowed and will be able to locate books in other
libraries. To have this system work as accurately as possible, we urge the
Town to support us in our endeavors to secure an anti-theft security system.
The theft of library materials hurts both the library user and the taxpayer.
We extend our sincere thanks to the library staff for their
and dedication.

Since the fiscal 1983 tax rate was late due to revaluation, real
estate and personal property taxes were not due until July 29,1984.
This caused receipts for fiscal 1983 to be only 55.8% of the prior
year and will make 1984 receipts that much higher.

A report of the financial operations of the Town for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1983.
The total sum appropriated for budgetary accounts was $13,786,654 made up of
$8,794,496 in salaries and $4,992,158 in expenses. This represents an increase
of $894,849 over the previous fiscal year.
Under Article 96, it was voted to use $350,000 from Revenue Sharing Funds as
follows: $185,000 for Fire Department salaries and $165,000 for Police
Department salaries.
Town Meeting also appropriated, under separate articles, $1,299,738. Of these
articles, $14,145 was taken from a previous years article.
It was voted that Article 55, Water Main on Salem and Stevens Streets, be
raised by bonding in the amount of $140,000. It was also voted under Article
98 to take $450,000 from available funds to reduce the tax rate.
At the beginning of this fiscal year (July 1, 1982), the outstanding long-term
debt was $4,475,000, and at the end of the fiscal year, it was $3,865,000.
This represents a payout of $750,000 and the issuance of a new water bond of
$140,000.
I would like to thank Carol Melvidas and Mary Lachapelle for their assistance.

Tree Department
The gypsy moth population declined dramatically in 1983. A virus disease is
the key agent usually responsible for the natural collapse of the gypsy moth
population.
Spraying operations using a truck mounted mist blower in the outlying sections
of Town achieved the desired result of an insignificant amount of defoliation.
Heavy defoliation during the last two or three years has caused the death of
some trees and a significant amount of dead limbs in others.
Heavy spring rains resulted in an unusually heavy growth of underbrush along
roadsides, which in turn necessitated extensive brush cutting.
Routine preventive maintenance was performed on both diseased elms and maples.
Other requests for services such as removing low limbs, tree planting, and
brush cutting operations were answered.
The Massachusetts Electric Company is very cooperative in providing assistance
(50' & 70' skyworker) in removal of dangerous trees near electric lines.
The North Andover Improvement Society again deserves a vote of thanks for the
contribution to the Arbor Day purchase of one thousand San Isabel Fir seedlings
which were packaged by the Tree Department and distributed to fourth and fifth
grade students.
