Circulation and Use of Books ~ 57,322 books were circulated .during 1935. Of these 30 % were non-fiction; 70 % fiction. The per capita circula- tion was 8.2. The circulation per registered borrower was 17 books. 13,972 books were circulated from the Children's Room to boys and girls below the age of twelve. This is 834 less than during 1934. 6,556 books were circulated from schools to which 1,124 books were sent. This is 2,876 more than the circulation from schools in 1934. 76 ANNUAL REPORT The most popular adult books of non-fiction were useful arts, (which includes books on engineering, automobile re- pairing, radios, textiles, domestic arts, and trades), travel, and biography in the order named. The most popular juve- nile books were fairy tales and folklore, travel and history. With an average daily circulation of 187 books, the largest issue in a single day was 315 on February 25 and the smallest 43 on July 3. Registration of ]~orrowers 219 new names were added as registered borrowers. Of these 133 were in the adult department and 86 were under twelve years of age. In addition to these, 67 children were transferred from the Children's Room to the Adult Depart- ment. However, these cannot be counted as new registra- tions because they are merely transfers from one part of the library to another. 134 names were withdrawn, making a net gain of 85 borrowers. The total number of borrowers registered is 3,358, or 48% of the population served. Of the 3,358 borrowers, approximately 500 are children under 12 years of age. At the beginning of each year our borrowers' files are checked over very carefully with the town directory to see if we have names of people registered who have either moved away or died. In addition to this a member of the staff reads the local papers quite carefully for notices of weddings, obituaries, and that people have moved from town. In cases of this kind the borrower's card is removed immediately from our files. We also take out cards of people who have not used the library for three years. In this way we try to have our borrowers' file as accurate as possible. Book Collection 721 books were added' to the shelves during 1935. Of these, 195 were children's books. 455 books were withdrawn from circulation, making a net gain of only 266. The total collection is estimated to be 19,938. In the librarian's report for 1934, she stated that the greater number of children's books were Jn a deplorable state and that many should be discarded. Some of these have been discarded in 1935. However many of them are still in circulation and their condition is worse than at the end of 1934. The exteriors of many of them have been cleaned and many have been repaired in the library, but hundreds are still very unsightly, being extremely dirty and almost completely worn out. This is true, not only of TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, ~,~SS. 77 children's books, but also true of many adult books of fic- tion. 2,497 were repaired in the library. 309 were rebound at the bindery. There are now 479 books waiting to go to the bindery. These books can not be repaired in the library, since their condition is too bad to be remedied by minor re- pairs such as we can do. Many of them are books in demand. We cannot send them because of/ack of funds. This is not surprising when we consider that with the increased circu- lation of the past five or six years the number of books purchased has not increased proportionately. Let us eon- trast the years 1935 and 1929. In 1929, the library had a circulation of 88,439 volumes and the number of books purchased was 916. In 1935, with a circulation of 57,322 books we bought only 721. Many other Massachusetts libraries have been able to repair books by means of C. W. A. and F. E. R. A. projects. Here in North Andover, we have twice made up a list of supplies needed and worked out a project, only to have it fall flat. This was in 1934. This depreciation of our book stock is a very serious thing. Of the books added, 167 were gifts. We are very grate- ful to the following people who have given books or maga- zines: Rev. and' Mrs. 8. C. Beane, Brooks School, Ruth Buchan, William Donahue, Foss family, Mrs. Charlotte Gala- her, Mrs. Dana Glidden, Warren Goff, Mrs. Albert King, Clara F. Layeoek, H. B. McArdle, Frederic C. McDuffie, Charles Paine, Isabel Patrick, ltoward Paulson, Mrs. David Pickles, Miss Pral~, Mrs. S. F. Rockwell, Rosicrucian Order, Helen C. Sargent, Charles Scribner's Sons, Arthur Shureliff, Mrs. William Sutton. Some of the donors listed gave a large number of books from which the librarian selected the ones which seemed most useful to the library. Special mention should be made of a very fine list of books, published by the Yale University Press, which, together with a subscription to the Yale Review, were given to us by "A Graduate of Yale," who prefers to remain anonymous. Book Week Book Week, in 1985, took the form of a Favorite Book Contest. Children were asked to portray in some manner a scene or character taken from their favorite book. Many fine drawings, soap models, and bt/el-written descriptions of favorite books were received and .displayed. Each day of Book Week children were asked to vote for their favorite 75 ANNUAL REPORT book. Each child voted only once, regardless of how many times he came to visit the disp~lay. At the end of the week we found that THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER by Samuel L. Clemens seemed to be the favor/re book of the voters. The "runners-up" were "LITTLE WOMEN" by Alcott and "HEID~" by Spyri. Lessons in Use of the Library Lessons in the use o£ the library, including the arrange- ment of the books on the shelves, the classification system, and the manner of using the card catalog, were given to the eighth grade of the Bradstreet School. Other Activities The library has taken a larger place in the life of the town than in recent previous years. The librarian has been asked to speak and give book reviews before various organi- zations, representing different groups. She has given a talk on the newer books before the Woman's Alliance of the North Parish Church, and a talk on Books for Boys from 9 to 12 before the Cub Mothers from the Trinitarian Congre- gational Church and St. Paul's Episcopal Church..She has given a book review of the following books before three dif- ferent groups: ALONG THIS WAY by James Weldon John- son, SUNSHINE PREFERRED by Anne Ellis, and NORTH TO THE ORIENT by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Two organization meetings of the newly formed North Andover Woman,s Club were held in Library Hall. Various committee meetings of the Woman's Club have been held there since the organization of the Club. As usual, the Ex- ecutive Board of the North Andover Improvement Society has held its meetings in our hall. The library assisted the American Merchant Marine in obtaining Books for the Seamen, collecting a large number of them from residents of the town. A number of shelves in the Reference Room have been filled with books on the Church Reading List of the Trini- tarian Congregational Church. A list of books of interest to Roman Catholic readers was compiled at the request of Father Frederick J. Deasy of St. Michael's Catholic Church. This list has been used somewhat in the programs of the St. Thomas More Reading Circle sponsored by St. Michael's Church. A request from a Boxford group for a loan of our Ex- hibit on The Making of a Book followed after our 1934're- port in which we stated that we had such a~t exhibit to lend. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 79 A list, OUTSTANDING BOOKS OF 1934, compiled by leading libraries in the country was distributed to our readers. The teacher librarian of the Brooks School has received some help in classification and in looking up publishers of books from our library. The Brooks School has given us some books and a year's back numbers of the magazine "For- tulle." The Librarian has checked for the Boy Scout officials a list of books of interest to Scouts, compiled by Mr. Walsh, Librarian of the Lawrence Public Library, The checked list shows our Scout ofi%ials what books our library owns of the books suggested. Activities for Children A Vacation Contest of identifying book titles was spon~ sored by the library during the summer vacation. Children who entered the contest were to identify eight sets of twenty book titles each. This was done by means of the card catalog. 27 children succeeded in finding all the titles listed. As a reward each child who completed the contest received a printed certificate and a little booklet in which to record his impressions of books he had read. A great deal of interect was displayed in this contest and reading in the Children's Room was increased during ihe summer months. A talk on the West, for boys between the ages of 9 and 13, was given by Albert Juarceys, a local young man, who spent several months in Arizona during the winter of 1934- 1935. Mr. and Mrs. Cronan, two professional story-tellers con- netted with the Boston Public Library, came to North Andover and entertained our boys 'and girls for an after- noon. This was made possible by a gift of money which the library received for this purpose. Mr. and Mrs. Cronan told stories of books in the library and talked a little about some other books. This proved an impetus to good reading. Library Meetings The Librarian attended a two-day meeting of the Massa- chusetts Library Club in Boston in February. Three of the trustees ~ith the Librarian went to Topsfield in June to the dedication of Topsfield's fine new library building. Free Services This library offers some free services for which patrons 8O ANNUAL REPORT of many libraries have to pay. One of these is the service of reserving books. Readers who wish books that are in great demand may have them reserved for them by leav- ing their names and addresses at the library desk. When the.book comes in, a postal notice is sent to the reader, or a telephone message is sent. In many libraries a charge is made for the co~st of the postal. This library tries to borrow from other libraries every book of non-fiction which we do not have for which a request is made. Occasionally it is impossible to get the desired book, but in almost all instances the library is able to bor- row it for a limited time. We make no charge for postage, although we have to pay postage both ways, when we secure the book from any other library than the Division of Public Libraries in Boston. The Division of Public Libraries pays postage one way and we pay the return postage. In the course of a year the postage is no small item. We are only able to do this because of the co-operation of other libraries. We also borrow from the Division of Public Libraries books in foreign languages for the use of our foreign and foreign speaking residents. This year the books which have been requested are books in Chinese, in Lithuanian, and in Spanish. Library Staff The work which ~ve have described could not have been accomplished without faithful work on the part of our en- tire staff. No changes in the staff have been made this year. Ruth E. Buchan, who took a library training course in the Springfield City Library, returned to us as a part-time and substitute worker in the summer. It is our good fortune, but her misfortune, that she has not as yet received a full- time position elsewhere. The Springfield Library is not able to place its training school graduates in its own staff, due to the fact that there are few resignations from its per- manent staff. Miss Buchan is a very excellent assistant. It is our regret that we can not give her a full-time position here. There would be plenty for her to do if funds per- mitred. Miss Ellen Riley who came to us in the summer of 1934 is taking a course in Children's Literature given by the University Extension Division. She would like to take more library courses, but the financial outlook does not look very pro~nising. We are very grateful to both of these girls, as well as to the other members of our staff; also, to our janitor. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 81 Co-operation of Other Libraries Requests for books not ow-ned by our library could not be filled without the co-operation of other neighboring libra- ries.

We also are grateful to all who have made gifts to the library and_ are pleased to find our library used more every year. We cannot close this report without doing honor to the memory of our Trustee, Arthur P. Chickering, who was taken from us by death during this year. As we have de- voted a page of our records for Resolutions to his memory so we here dedicate a page of this report to him. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 83 RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH of ARTHUR P.

Coming to us soon after the formation of a Board of Health, Mr. Brightman retained his interest to the last in spite of months of serious iIlness, to ~the extent that many of our meetings were held at his bed- side. A~bsolutely unassuming he carried out his work with- out the blare of trumpet or beat of drum, but was always efficient and dependabIe. Few of the townspeople kne~w him intimately, but to those of us ~vho were so privileged came the unalterable conviction that "there stood a Man." TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 95 After experiencing the loss of Mr. Brightman the Board consider they are particularly fortunate in having the vacancy filled by Mr. Geo. Jewett, the well-known plumber, and a tong resident of the town. The following activities have been carried on. Pre School Health Examination, or Summer Round-Up was held in June. This is for the purpose of bringing all children who will enter school in the fall, to a physical examination, either by their own physician or at the clinic held in the Town Building, giving the parents, the summer to get de- fects, if any, remedied and the children in the best physical condition before entering school for the first time. Well baby conferences are held every Wednesday, 2-4 P. M., in Town Building, Board of Health rooms. The babies are weighed and kept under observation, instructions given to mothers as to their care and feeding, referring them to their family physician if it seems necessary. The annual Diphtheria immunizing clinic was carried on successfully, Dr. Holt in charge. It is gratifying to get the splendid co-operation' with parents and teachers for this very important work.

LOUIS H. McALOON, JR., Chairman, DR. FRED C. ATKINSON, DAVID M. KIMEL, School Committee. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 127 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS REPORT January 9, 1936. To the School Committee of North Andover: Herewith I respectfully submit to you the following as my ninth annual report. Farnham School Closed The last of the four rural schools of the town, the Farn- ham School, was closed December 20, 1935, and probably will not again be operated as a school. Beginning with the winter term the pupils are being transported to the village schools in a new school motor bus operated by Arthur J: Gar- neau of Railroad Avenue. In 1855 there were 39 pupils in the Farnham School, in 1875 there were 24, in 1895 13, in 1915 23, and when closed in December there were 9. While the decrease in enroll- ment in itself made the closing of the school advisable, it is believed that attendance of the pupils in the village schools will give them better and more complete educational oppor- tunities. Rural schools are rapidly disappearing through- out the state, Farnham School Established Before 1800 Though it is not known when the Farnham School was established, the School Committee of 1856 wrote critically of the Farnham and Pond Schools as follows: "Look at those school houses that have withstood the storms of more than half a century, unimproved and unadorned." This early building was located in the co~aer of Boston Street and the Tmq~pike, and evidently was erected before the year 1800. Later the present building was built on its present site, the corner of Johnson Street and Turnpike after a very bit- ter and protracted discussion of whether it should be located nearer Wilson's Corner. In 1859 the School Committee in reporting on school buildings said: "The one in the Farn- ham District is the most convenient and ornate." In 1879 the School Committee in reporting on the Farn- ham School wrote: "Removed from the temptation ~o neglect study which abounds in the villages, the scholars seem more inclined to their books and consequently make more progress." 128 ANNUAL REPORT High School Lunch Room on New Plan In 1921 a lunch room was started with the assistance of the local Red Cross, and for the following four years that society provided the necessary funds. In 1924 the Red Cross discontinued their support, and in place of that the School Department paid an annual salary of $800 to the manager, Mrs. Mary H. Hanson, who, by March 1935, had served as manager 14 years. Beginning March 1935 the privilege of operating the lunch room as a concession without cost or profit to the School Department was granted to Mrs. John J. Costello, 17 Merrimack Street. From the standpoint of pupil health it is desirable that as large a proportion of the food sold in a school lunch room, should be health building foods such as milk, sandwiches, creamed dishes, etc., and as small a proportion as possible of candies, cookies, etc. The lunch room sales show a desirable trend in that respect. Athletic Council Established In June 1935 the School Committee voted to form an Athletic Council the purpose of which was to "stimulate the attendance at the ath,letic games and to stimulate financial support of the athletic program," as the Athletic Association of Johnson High School was closing the year with a large deficit. The Council has had several meetings and has been very successful in accomplishing the purposes for which it was formed. Its membership of 17 is made up of the three School Committee members, the high school principal, an athletic coach of the high school, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, a representative of the American Legion, and a boy and a girl from the highest class officers of the class most recently graduated from Johnson, and a boy and girl elected by each of the four classes at Johnson. At present the members of the Council are Louis H. McAloon, Jr., Dr. Fred C. Atkinson, David M. Kimel, Alvah G. Hayes, James A. Cavalieri, Maurice C. Casey, Joseph Crabtree, Charles A. Stillwell, Phyllis Culpon, Sylvia Brod- crick, Henry Martin, Edna Cassi. dy, John Chadwick, Geor- gette Snell, Thomas Pendlebury, Mary Barnes and Arthur Banker. Big Decrease in Freshman Failures For the years ending June 1926, 1927 and 1928 in 439 of the subjects that the Freshmen studied they received fail- ing marks. For the last three years the Freshmen failed in only 6.1% of the cases. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 129 1926-28 --43 % 1933-35 - 6% Johnson Seniors Score 6 % Above Other Seniors and College Freshmen According to a bulletin o£ the Federal Bureau o£ Edu~ cation such subjects and activities should be taught in every high school as will collectively educate the pupils in these eight fields: 1--physical and mental health, 2--scientific habits of thinking and knowledge of basal subjects, 3-- worthy family membership, 4--foundations of a vocation, 5--intelligent citizenship, 6--worthy use of leisure time, 8 --good character. In order to .discover whether or not our high school curricula are really giving the pupils proper training in those fields the Seniors were given in April the Los Angeles Orientation T~sts which cover those fie]ds. In these tests the Johnson Seniors scored an average of 6% higher than was scored by high school seniors and college freshmen in other places. Elementary Pupils Score 4% Above Grade Standards and 16% Above Age Standards In April, May and June all elementary pupils were given Form B of the Metropolitan Achievement Tests cov- ering many of the subjects in the curriculum. Normally 50% of tt~e pupils are expected to score as high or higher than the standard average (median), but in these tests 54% of our pupils scored as high as the standard medians, for their respective grades, and 66% as high as the stand- ard medians for their respective ages. Our pupils are young for their grades. 33% of Johnson Graduates Get on College HOnor Scholarship Lists Of the 30 graduates of Johnson High School that dur- ing the five years ending June 1935 had entered colleges having "Deans' lists," or other scholarship honor lists, 10 or 33% of those Johnson graduates were on those lists. Those 30 graduates averaged to have attended college 2/3 years making a total of 80 attendance years. 20 of these attendance years, or 25% of the time, these 30 grad- uates were on the scholarship honor lists o£ their respective colleges. That is an outstanding record. ANNUAL REPORT 35% of Johnson Graduates Going to College Get Scholarships Of the 37 graduates of Johnson High School that during the five years ending June 1935 entered college 13, or 35 %, of them received scholarships. Many of these were grant- ed on the basis of high scholarship. Occasionally during the past the principals of Johnson High School in their annual reports have expressed a hope that local organizations or persons would establish scholar- ship funds to assist worthy Johnson graduates in attend- lng college. That .hope has gone unanswered until the North Andover Women's Club this year established an an- nual scholarship of $150 for Johnson graduates. As President Hopkins of Dartmouth, P'resident Angel of Yale and others have recently stated that the college work of public school graduates is superior to that of private school graduates, I urge prospective donors to consider pub- lic school graduates as worthy of endowments as are pri- vate schools. I hope that other local scholarships for John- son graduates will be established. Emergency Nursery School The Nursery School in the Thomson School has been continued through 1935. The salaries and most of the sup- plies are paid for by the fe~eral relief agencies. Beginning in the fall of 1935 the federal regulations limited attendance to children over 2 and under 5 years of age, and required ~that those children come from families in the low income groups, particularly those on relief. For the fall the teachers were Miss Adela Dainowski, Miss Elinor Driscoll and Miss Dorothy Stearns. Mrs. Clara Richardson has been appoint- ed cook to begin in January 1936. In February Mrs. :Elsie Cot- nell will join the staff as nurse. The enrollment has beenabout 25. Burden of School Support Average for Towns of This Size The relative financial burden of supporting the schools in North Andover is indicated below. The figures are chiefly for 1934 and are the latest published by the State Depart- ment of Education. Included are the 16 towns with a popu- lation of 6,500 to 7,500 and the nearby town of Andover.

North Andover ranks better than average in these three: 1--A smaller proportion of the total town tax is spent for school support. 2--The town debt is relatively very small. 3--The town is well-to-do, having a valuation per pupil of $6,240. North Andover's position is poorer than average in these three: l~The tax rate is one position greater than the aver- age. 2--The total cost for school support is one position greater than the average. 3--The cost per pupil is three positions greater than the average. Only Teachers Receive Retroactive Cuts After Town Meeting The 1935 School Department budget reported to the Finance Committee totaled $112,000. In common with other departmental appropriations this was reduced 10% at the 1935 town meeting. Since nearly 80% of the School De- partment budget is expended for salaries, since the amounts allowed for the non-salary items of the original budget were very conservative, and since full salary rates had already been paid for about one-third of the year, to keep within the reduced appropriation it was necessary to make School De- partment salary cuts retroactive to January 1, in effect TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 133 taking back from the teachers part of the salaries they had already received. Wage or salary cuts did not have to be made retroactive in any other town departments. A sliding scale of salary reductions was adopted as fol- lows: 0% on salaries up to and through $1000, 5% up through $1300, 7l,,~. % up through $1500, these being retro- active, and 12~ % on salaries over $1500 effective after town meeting, the latter being closely equivalent to a 10% retro- active to January 1. Strong State Wide Tendency to Restore Salaries According to a report of the Massachusetts Teachers Federation made in August 1935 about 165 or 461/.~% of the 355 towns and cities of the State were teacher salary reductions still in effect. As a considerable number of towns restored full salaries beginning January 1936, the above mentioned percentage has been considerably reduced, and another group of towns will make restorations after their annual town meetings. Comparison of Salaries in North Andover and Other Places The latest salary data published by the State Depart- . merit of Education were for the year 1931. The average salaries for teachers and principals were as follows: State .$1,890 North Andover -$1,542 82 Towns -$1,630 Hence North Andover was $88 or 5% below the aver- age of the 82' Massachusetts towns with a population of 5000 or more. It was $348 or 18% under the State average. At the present time the North Andover average is $1,470. Should Full Salaries Be Restored in March? In a majority of the towns and cities of the state there are no salary cuts in effect. Are the financial conditions and prospects of North Andover poorer than in the above men- tioned majority so that it cannot as well afford salary res- torations ? Favorable Factors 1--The so-called bonded indebtedness of the town is now about 1% of the valuation. This is much lower than the average of Massachusetts towns and cities. The total of this debt has ~allen from $317,000 in 1926 to about $70,000 now, and the annual cost of principal and interest payments from about $50,000 to about $17,000. 134 ANNUAL REPORT 2--According to the 1934 report of the state tax com- missioner thc local taxes in North Andover per capita amounted to $46.44. This is about 12% less than the State average of $52.52. This indicates that the high local tax rate is due more to low valuation than to large expenditures. 3~Industrial and economic conditions have improved and are generally predicted to continue to improve. This ~vi]l increase the payment of delinquent taxes. 4--0n January 1, 1935 24% of the 1934 North Andover taxes were uncollected, while the average for ali Massachu- setts towns and cities was 32 %, or one-bhird greater. 5--Full salaries have been restored to most state and federal employees. Unfavorable Factors /--Since 1929 the total valuation of the town has fallen from $8,282,742 to $7,947,322, a drop of $335,420 or 4%. 2--Unpaid temporary loans of $75,000 have been car- ried over into the next financial year. However, this is probably more than offset by partial payments that will be made due to improved business conditions of the approx- imately $180,000 delinquent taxes. 3--The local tax rate is higher than the average, but, as indicated above, this may be due to low valuations rather than to high appropriations. 4 The large amount of uncollected taxes may indicate that temporarily many real estate owners of this town are finding the burden of taxes unusually severe. However, ;n a' public address the state tax commissioner, Henry Long, made a statement to the effect that throughout the State there seemed to be little connection between the relative bur- den of taxes and the amount of delinquent taxes. Schao] Appropriations Not Largely Responsible for Big Increases in Town Appropriations The chart be]ow indicates that the great increase in the total appropriations of the town over a long period of years has been due p~imarily to other factors than increased school costs.

PITKIN, Superintendent of Schools. 136 ANNUAL REPORT REPORT OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL To the Superintendent of Schools: At this time, I submit to you my fourth annual report for Johnson High School. For the first time in several years, it is possible to state that our school enrollment has decreased. At this time last year we had registered 413 pupils, whereas this year our enrollment has been 401. This decrease may largely be attributed to the increased industrial activity during the months just passed. Many pupils who would otherwise be in school have been absorbed in our mills and factories. Whether or not our school population has reached a point where it will remain more or less static is a question which only the future can answer. Present conditions would seem to indicate that we should provide for approximately the same number of pupils next year, as we have registered at present. Our graduating class last June numbered 49 and of this number several are at present enrolled in colleges and uni- versities. Two are registered at M. I. T. while Tufts, North- eastelq~, Massachusetts State College, University of Geor- gia and State Teachers' College at Bridgewater have each attracted one of these graduates. Still others have turned their attention to Commercial Schools, Trade Schools and Hospital Schools of Nursing. A recent check shows only four members of this class as neither working nor continuing their education. As has been the case in past years, highly pleasing reports continue to come from colleges in which our graduates enroll. Such records are a credit to the in- dividuaIs involved as well as a source of deep satisfaction to our school. Our teaching staff has undergone more changes this year than in any other year within my recollection. In general, several changes in a single year, will for a time, decrease the efficiency of' the teaching staff. We have how- ever, been very fortunate this year in securing teachers who have very nicely fitted into our system with little, if any, decrease in the efficient conduct of the school. Four vacan- cies have been filled. Miss Lucy Hatch, beloved by all with whom she came in contact, reached the retirement age after eighteen years of faithful service to our school Her duties in the English and German department have been very TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 137 capably handled by Mr. John V. Donovan, a graduate of Boston College who came to us with several years experi- ence in other schools. Walter R. Mitchell resigned in June, to assume duties at Worcester Academy. In his place we now have Mr. James Cavalieri, a graduate of Holy Cross College, who had two years experience before joining us. In June Miss Orele Scott, our teacher of Biology and Domes- tie Arts, resigned. She is now Mrs. Wilson Hayden. In her place we have Miss Mary A. Buckley, a recent graduate of Regis College. Our fourth vacancy was caused by the resig- nation of Miss Elizabeth Oetjen, who left us to assume duties in the English department at Middlebury College. This vacancy was filled by Miss Eileen MeAloon, a graduate of Trinity College: Miss McAloon has had several years' ex- perience in the South, in addition to one half year of substi- tute work in this school. Mr. Cavalieri is now in charge of our boys' athletic pro- gram. In the short time he has been with us he has won the confidence and respect of the boys, as well as indicating that our future teams will be of the highest order. Miss Dorothy Colburn and Miss Glenna Kelly have once more coached our girls to a basketball championship. This is a continuation of the success which they have enjoyed in past years. We have a larger number of dubs this year than we have had previously. A list of the clubs with faculty ad~ visers is given below. Chefs' Chemistry Debating Dramatic Etiquette French Mary A. Buckley Clara A. Chapman John V. Donovan Mildred E. Green & Alice M. Neal Eileen McAloon Irene Cook Glee May Leach International Relations Glenna Kelly Practical Arts Clara L. Curley Under the guidance of Miss Edith Pierce, the school publications .have prospered. The Senior Year Book main- tained the high standard of previous years, and the Johnson Journal of this year has had a price reduction of 33 1/3% coincident with an increase of 25 % in the number of pages. During the past year I find that the members of the High School faculty have taken 14 Educational Courses. This is concrete proof that our staff is progressive and in- tent on giving the pupils of our school the best instruction possible under present conditions. 138 ANNUAL REPORT Recently I have been approached by several individuals regarding the formation of an Alumni Association. I would be greatly pleased to assist in this project if there is suffi- cient interest. Comments from any graduates regarding such an Association would be welcomed by me as a means of determining whether or not such an organization would prosper. This report would not be complete without my expres- sion of gratitude and thanks to the teachers, School Com- mittee and Superintendent, all of whom have co-operated splendidly in making this past year a success.

Our schoolmates and our teachers, dear, We will remember well, For truly were they stepping stones Which helped to guide us through.

Rules, Regulations and Water Rates All meter rates shall be computed quarterly; in case of a meter stopping Or failing to register, the quantity of water used shall be estimated as the amount which ordi- narily passes through the meter when in operation. Bills for metered water shall be rendered quarterly on the first day of January, April, July and October for the amount of water used during the previous quarter, based on the fol- }owing sliding scale: For 1st. 2,000 cu. ft., 20 cents per 100 cu. ft. All over 2,000 cu. ft., 12 cents per 100 cu. ft. All meters read in cubic feet. A cubic is computed as seven and one-half gallons. No service shall pay less than $1.50 per quarter. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. Regulations 167 The following regulations, until further notice, shall be considered a part of the contract with every person who uses water. 1. All applications for the use of water must be made at the office of the Board of Public Works and must state fully the purpose for which it is intended to be used. The Water Department will in all cases furnish and lay the service pipe from the street main to and through the cellar wall and provide on the end thereof a stop and waste valve. In any case where an owner shows sufficient reason he may be permitted to lay a pipe on his own property, but pro- vision must be made, at the owner's expense, so that a meter installation can be made where the Water Depart~ ment work ceases. The owner of the premises shall in all cases pay for such service pipe as may be laid within his premises, together with the sf~p and waste valve, at such rates as may be fixed by the Board of Public Works. The Board of Public Works reserves the right to establish a minimum price for service installations. Payment in full must be made for any service installation before the water is turned on. 2. The Water Department will sel meters on all serv- ices and charge a renta.1 of two dollars per year for %-inch meters and a suitable increase for larger sizes. Consumers at their option may purchase said meters when they vdll be marked on the books as private and no rental will be charged. All meters will be kept in repair by the Water Department unless damaged by the frost, hot water, or through the fault or negligence of the owner or tenant of the property: No more than one meter may be installed on any service unless the owner agrees to have each additional meter (for the purpose of billing) considered as a separate service. 3. All persons using water must furnish internal pipes, connections and fixtures and keep them and all pipe to the street line in good repair and protected from frost at their own expense, and the Town will not be liable for any damage resulting from failure to do so. Any expense 168 ANNUAL REPORT incurred in clearing services must be borne by the con- sumer. No person will be permitted to connect with any water pipes on the inlet side of the meter in any way or manner without a written permit from the Board of Public Works. ' 4. Water rates shall be payable at the office of the Board of Public Works quarterly. No abatement of water rates shall be made except when the entire premises are shut off for a period of at least three months. In all cases of non-payment of water rates within sixty days after the same are due as well as for any violation of these rules, the supply may be shut off and water will not again be let on except upon payment of the amount due and the sum of one dollar for shutting off and letting on the water. In case of shutting off or letting on the water for repairs, testing of pipes or any other purpose the sum of one dollar will be charged. 5. The water rates shall be paid by the owner or les- see of the whole premises and the owner shall in all cases be responsible for the water rates of his tenants. 6. No water taker shall supply water to parties not entitled to its use, except on written permit from the Board of Public Works. 7. All apparatus and places supplied with water must be accessible at all reasonable times to the inspection of the Board of Public Works or their agents to examine the pipes and fixtures and ascertain the quantity of water used and the manner of its use, and all pipes and fixtures shall be subject to rejection by said Board of Public Works if considered unsuitable for the purpose. 8. Upon application of an owner a meter will be re- moved and tested. For this service a charge of one dollar will be made. In case the meter in question is found to over-register more than three per cent this charge will be cancelled and a proper adjustment made. 9. The Board of Public Works reserves the right to restrict the use of hose or fountains or to shut off the water TOWN OF NORTI-I ANDOVER, MASS. 169 when it becomes necessary to make extensions or repairs or for violation of any of the Regulations. 10. Art. 7, Sec. 1, Town By-Laws: No person shall open any hydrant of the water works system of the Town, without written permission previously obtained from the Board of Public Works. Provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the use of hy- drants and water by the Chief of the Fire Department or the person acting in his stead, in case of fire.

SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT 175 There were laid during the year 1935, nine hundred and fifty-eight feet .of six-inch and one hundred and thirty-one and a half feet of twelve-inch cast iron pipe. Eight six-inch gate valves, two eight-inch gate valves and one twelve-inch gate valve were placed. Two new hydrants were placed. The water system now consists of fifty-two and fifty-four hundredths miles of main pipe and two twelve-inch check valves, one fourteen inch gate, ten twelve-inch gates, twelve ten-inch gates, sixty-one eight-inch gates and four hundred and nine six-inch gate valves and thkee hundred and eleven pu.blic fire hydrants. The new water main extensions were as follows: Dnf- ton Court from Andover Street four hundred and fifty-two feet of six-inch pipe, two six-inch gate valves and one hy- drant; Prospect Street four hundred and twenty-four feet of six-inch pipe, two six-inch gate valves and one hydrant; easterly on Edmands Road from the previous terminus of the water main seventy-six feet of six-inch pipe; one hun- dred and thirty-one and a half feet of twelve-inch pipe and one twelve-inch gate at the Reservoir. One eight-inch gate valve was placed on each side of the water main over the penstock to Sutton's Mill where the frost had heaved the main out .of position and caused sev- eral joint leaks. The hydrant at the residence of James Dow on Johnson Street was relocated and gated. The .hy- drant on Winter Street below Dale Street was relocated at the property of Sidney Rea and gated. The hydrant on Tmmpike Street ~below Hillside Road was moved back six feet. Hydrants at the corner of Great Pond Road and Stevens Street and at 94 Main Street were gated. The system of water main piping is listed according to. size as follows: SIZE OF PIPE (INCHES) 14" 12" 10" 8" 6" LENGTH OF PIPE (FEET) 423 17441 · 7871 41247 210400 There were installed during the year 1935 twenty-four new services, and eighty-one old services were either wholly or partially renewed. This is almost double the num- bet of new services installed last year and is several times 176 ANNUAL REPORT more than the number installed for several past years. The growing number of necessary service renewals indicates that there will be an increasingly larger expense to the water department as water services from number one to four hundred have been installed over thirty-five years and those from four to eight hundred have been installed over twenty-five years. There were seventy-one service leaks and three main pipe joint leaks. Five hydrants were broken off by automobiles and of these only one was gated. A considerable loss of water, great inconvenience to the con- sumers on the water mains involved, and added expense resulted in the other four cases because of the lack of a gate valve on the hydrant branch. Eight more services which were no longer in use and had been shut off only at the curb stop were dug up and shut off at the main so that all danger of leaks from them is definitely removed. A total of ninety-five services have thus been removed from the system since 1931. The policy of meter inspection was continued and ali meters were kept in repair at the water department's ex- pense except those damaged by frost, hot water, or the fault or negligence of the consumer in accordance with the revised regulation adopted in 1933. Hydrant inspection was continued and special attention has been given as usual to the hydrants during cold weather. The gate valve inspec- tion again carried out proved to be of great value when the aforem:entioned hydrants Were broken off. Hydrants on Sutton Street near the residence of J. H. Wolfendale, on Pleasant Street at Lincoln Street, and on Hillside Road near Turnpike Street were raised. No important repairs or replacements were made at the Pumping Station despite a year in which a new high pumping record was made. Eighty-seven boats were regis- tered for use on Lake Cochichewick and one hundred and forty-eight residents were given permits to boat and fish there. On July first the construction of a one and a half mil- lion gallon reservoir was started under the E.R.A. Addi- tional reservoir capacity has been recommended since 1927 as one of the major needs of the water department. The successful completion of the project will more than double the town's reservoir capacity and provide sufficient storage for years. The construction is described elsewhere in this report. In following out a definite construction program in order that the water system may be strengthened and tm- TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 177 proved so as to meet any anticipated requirements in the future it is recommended that: 1. A new twelve-inch main feeder line be laid from the reservoir to the downtown section via Chestnut Street, Hillside Road, Turnpike Street, and Railroad Avenue. 2. Construction of the new 1,500,000 gallon reservoir be completed. 3. The original wooden coal bin at the Pumping Sta- tion be replaced with a larger bin of po, rmanent construction. 4. An eight or ten-inch main be placed on Johnson Street from Milk Street to the present eight-inch auxiliary line to the Reservoir in order that this line which is now supplied by six-inch mains may be 'better able to feed the system. For 1936 it is recommended that the following minor extensions and improvements be made to the system: 1. Replace t.he following temporary supply pipes with six-inch cast iron pipes in order to provide better domestic supply and provide fire protection: a) Wood Lane from Andover Street b) Bacon Avenue from; Massachusetts Avenue c) Highland View Avenue from Chadwick Street d) Stevens Street from Harkaway Road 2. Connect the six-inch mains: a) Middlesex Street from Milton Street to Lyman Street b) Brightwood Avenue to Furber Avenue c) Chapin Road to Middlesex Street d) Saltonstall Road to He~rick Road e) Wilson Road to Turnpike Street 3. Raise, relocate, and place gates on several hydrants throughout the town and especially on the heavily traveled ways :- Sutton, Main, and Middlesex Streets 4. Place new hydrants where the nearest present hy- drant entails the use of excessive lengths of fire hose: a) End of Tollan.d Road b) Near 225 Massachusetts Avenue c) Middlesex Street near Greene Street d) Near 665 Salem Street e) End of Beacon Hill Road f) Pleasant Street at Lexington Street g) Lincoln Street between Pleasant and Oxford S~reet h) Near 471 Massachusetts Avenue i) Near 375 Massachusetts Avenue j) Near 62 Salem Street 178 ANNUAL REPORT Sewer Department The North Andover Sewerage System is designed to flow in three divisions: the East Side Drainage Area with its trunk sewer following Cochichewick Brook from Lake Cochichewick to the Merrimack River; the West Side Drain- age Area with its trunk sewer on Railroad Avenue, Greene Street, and along the Shawsheen River to the Merrimack River; the Central Drainage Area bounded by the Railroad Avenue, Middlesex, and Water Street with the trunk sew- ers in Railroad Avenue, Water Street, and Main Street to the Merrimack River. There are sixteen and eighty-eight hundredths miles of sewers in the North Andover Sewerage System with over three hundred and ninety manholes. There are one thou- sand and eight particular sewers connected with the main sewers. The main sewers are listed according to size as follows: Size of Sewer (Inches) 24 20 18 15 12 10 8 6 Length of Sewer (Feet) 5926 822 8450 3211 3294 9596 14872 42905 The Sewer Department in conjunction with the Emer- gency Relief Administration and the Works Progress Admin- istration constructed during 1935 the following main sewers: One hundred and ninety feet of ten-inch pipe, one hun- dred and eighty-five feet of eight-inch pipe, one hundred and thirty feet of six-inch pipe, and three manholes on Main Street from Park Street northwesterly; three hundred and thirty-six feet of ten-inch pipe and one manhole on Tavern Road from Main Street to t]radstreet Road; one hundred and seventy-two feet of six-inch pipe and one manhole on Bradstreet Road from Tavern Road westerly; nine hun- dred and fifty-one feet of eighteen-inch pipe and five man- holes on Phillips Court and I-Iarkaway Road to Stevens Street as part of the East Side Trunk Sewer. Sixty feet of six-inch pipe and one manhole were placed by the department without Federal assistance on Bucking- ham Road. A total of thirteen connections totaling six hundred and eighty-seven feet were made between buildings and the main sewers. Five particular sewers were relaid on account of trouble with roots. Forty particular sewers were cleared. The entire sewerage system was flushed as usual. The roi]owing recommendations are made in order that the sewerage system may be improved in accordance with TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 179 a definite program to promote the health and convenience of the people of the town: 1. The East Side Trunk Sewer to be extended from Stevens Street at Harkaway Road in order to take care of the Bathing Beach an~d the Center. 2. The sewers on Sargent Street and t~e]mont Street which are filling with the roots be relaid at lower elevations by starting a new sewer on Hodges Street at May Street. 3. The sewer on Commonwealth Avenue be relaid on account of roots. 4. Manholes be placed on the following dead ended sewers in order that they can be properly flushed: Richard- son Avenue, Milton, Lyman, Chadwick, Saunders and Sut- ton Streets, Edmands, Chapin, Perley and Buckingham Roads. Further extensions of the sewerage system on the West Side Drainage area must await the extension of the West Side Trunk Sewer from Massachusetts Avenue southerly along the Shawsheen River. Few extensions in the Central Drainage Area remain to be made. Park Department The Center Common, Training Grounds, Memorial Park, Historical Society Plot, and Triangles have been maintained as usual. The program of improvement and shrub replacement adopted 1933 for Memorial Park was practically completed. New shrub beds replaced those at the corner of Main Street and Parkway, Main Street and Davis Street, and Bradstreet Road and Greene Street. Several loads of excellent peat were placed on the shrub beds which should build up the existing poor soil. A new shrub bed was placed at the Hay Scales end of the Common and a planting of hemlocks also made along Osgood Street. Considerable loam was placed over the drain pipe ditches installed by the E.R.A. and all the area properly regraded and seeded. The work done by the E.R.A. at the Carney's Corner end of the Common and the splendid work of the North AndoCer Improvement Society is shaping the Common into one which will soon rank with New Eng- land's best. The Triangles at the corner of Park and Main Streets and at Academy Road and Court Street were entirely re- built with shrubs from Memorial Park.
