To the Trustees of Stevens Memorial Library: I herewith present the 31st annual report of the Library for the year ending December 31, 1938. Circulation and Use of Rooks 60,993 book's were circulated from the Library. This is the largest circulation in the history of the Library, being 2,508 more than the second largest circulation (58,485 volumes in 1934). Of the books issued to our readers, 30~/~ were non-fiction and 70 % were ftc/ion. The per capita cir- culation is 8.5. The circulation per registered borrower is 16.9. 14,683 books were issued from the Children's Room. This is 385 more than in 1937. Circulation from the schools to which 1,005 books were sent was 4,708, being 44 less than the circulation of 1937. 41,602 books were issued from the Adult Department. This is 6,384 more than the adult circulation of 1937. The most popular books among the adults were fiction, (27,716 volumes), useful arts (2,257 volmnes), biography (2,019 volumes), and travel (1,953). The best liked book.s in the Children's Room were fiction, fairy tales and folklore, useful arts, and travel in the order named. The Library was open 303 days with an average daily circulation of 201 books. (In 1937 we were open 273 days with a daily average of 198 volumes). The largest issue in a single day was 353 on January 31 and the smallest was 62 on July 2, when the Library closed at 5.30 P. M. Registration of Borrowers 297 names were added as borrowers. This is 19 more than were added in 1937. Of these, 199 were in the Adult department, 98 from the Children's Room. 75 xvere trans- ferred from the Children's Room to the Adult department. 251 names were withdrawn, making a net gain of only 46. The total number of registered borrowers is now 3,603, being 50% of the population served (1935 census figures were 7,164). TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 39 Book Collection 667 volumes were added to our collection. This is 101 less than the number added in 1937. Of the total nmnber, only 40 were gifts, 45 fewer gifts than in 1937. 304 books were discarded or lost. The net gain in volumes is 363. It is estimated that the Library now owns 20,805 volumes. 2,024 bveks were repaired in the Library. 293 books were rebound. A check for $50.00 was received from Andover Evening Study Groul:s for Adults, given by Phillips Academy. This was sent as an appreciation for our cooperation in distribut- ing the announcements and programs of the Evening Study Groups during the years in which these courses have been given. It was suggested that the money be spent largely for books of some social, economic, religious, historical or scien- tific significance rather than for fiction. Individuals who have given books or magazines include Edward Bardsley, Lloyd Bauehman, R. P. Chadwick, Mrs. Dana Glidden, William Heyn, Harold Sanborn for the late Howard Sanborn, and Stuart Stillings. Library in the Community The North Andover Garden Club has placed more of its book collection on shelves in our Reference Room. These books are available to the general public also. Our own Library has an unusually fine collection of garden books which supplements the collection owned by the Garden Club. The Library is again serving as a di'stributing agency for the programs of the Andover Evening Study Groups for Adults of the courses to be offered from January through March, 1939. Many North Andover residents are taking advantage of these splendid courses. The Librarian has given two book reviews before the Woman's Union of the Trinitarian Congregational Church,- one of Frederic Van de Water's A HOME IN THE COUNTRY, and one of RETURN TO RELIGION, by Henry C. Link. She has also given two book talks before the Woman's Auxiliary of St. Paul's Church. Free Services 1901 books were reserved for our readers. Postal not. ices are sent to tell them that the books are in the Library and will be held for them for 48 hours. No charge is made for this, although most libraries charge postage. Books in Lithuanian, Russian, French and Italian have been borrowed from the 4O ANNUAL REPORT Divi'sion of Public Libraries in Boston. Numerous books to fill a special request have been borrowed from our neighbor- ing larger libraries. Work with Children Two special events for children have been arranged during the year. In April, through the generosity of an anonymous donor, we were able to secure Mr. and Mrs. John Cronan, two professional story-tellers, who came to us for an afternoon of stories. They spent part of the after- noon at the Bradstreet School where stories were told to children from grd through the 8th grades. Later they visited Library Hail, telling stories to children from all schools ex- cept the Bradstreet School. The visit of these story-tellers served as an impetus to reading, the results of which were evident for a long time. In December, Miss Dorothy Michel- more of our own community came to us to tell Christmas stories to children from the first four grades. These stories were particularly pleasing and successful. The room was filled to capacity. Loss of Miss Sargent It is difficult to find words to express adequately the sense of loss we have experienced in the passing of 5liss Annie L. Sargent, who had been a trustee since the opening of the Library. It was an inspiration to work under her guidance, and her friendly and cheery presence will be sincerely missed. Staff Changes Two of our assistants have left us during the year. Miss Ruth Drummond left the Library in March to enter the Addison Gilbert Hospital in Gloucester for training. Miss Edna Cassidy left the Library in September to enroll in the Library Science course at Simmons College, Boston. We have taken as an assistant Miss Myra Stillwell, a graduate of Johrson High School in the class of 1938. Miss Stillwell is developing into an excellent assistant. We regret that we can not offer an assistant enough salary to make it worth her while to continue with us over any length of time. We feel that the time is at hand when we should engage one assistant at a weekly salary who will work a full week. We think that with the Librarian, the assistant-librarian, one full-time assistant, and some part-time assistance, no more funds would be necessary than we spend now with .several part-time assistants. According to the Massachusetts standards for certification of a library of our size, we should have three full-time workers for the circulation of 60,000 volumes. This is the one item in which we are below standard. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 41 Library 1Keetings The Librarian has attended the fo]lowing Library meet- ings during 1938: Midwinter meeting of the Massachusetts Library Association, held in Cambridge in February; New England Conference of State Library Associations in Man- chester, Vermont on June 20, 21 and 22; and Round Table of Children's Librarians at the Boston Public Library in October. Cooperation of Other Libraries We are always grateful to our neighboring libraries who have enabled us, by means of inter-library loans, to meet the requests of our patrons for books which we can not afford to buy. Borrowers who wish to read extensively on one special subject are often enabled to pursue their studies by means of these loans. We are specially indebted to our fine Division of Public Libraries in Boston, on whom we call frequently; aiso to Memorial Hall Library, Andover; Boston Public Library, Haverhill Public Library, Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society Library, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Library, Massachusetts State Library, and to Newton Free Library.

Sargent, who was taken from us by death in December. As we have devoted a page of our records for Resolutions to her memory so we here dedicate a page of this report to her. ANNUAL REPORT RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH of ANNIE LAURA SARGENT The passing from our midst of Miss Annie L. Sargent on the eleventh day of December, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight, took from the Board of Trustees of the Stevens 3Iemorial Library one of the seven original members named to the Board by the late Honorable Moses T. Stevens with his gift of 1904. Miss Sargent was appointed by the late Honorable Moses T. Stevens, a member of the Building Committee, together with the late Samuel Dale Stevens. She took an active inter- est in the building of the Library and in its dedication. She was Secretary of the Board of Trustees from its formation, and Treasurer for thirty years. Her records were models of accuracy and were always approved without criticism by the officials whose business it was to pass upon them. She was always deeply interested in the welfare of the Library and gave generously of her time an.d strength in practical service. Miss Sargent was a woman of the finest character. She was always cheerful with a fine sense of humor, a keen mind and tolerant spirit. She almost never missed a meeting of the Board of Trustees and her sound and friendly advice will be sincerely missed. Her work in the Library was only a part of her contribu- tion to the educational and social life of the town. In grateful recognition of her work on the Board of Trustees and in Iov~ng memorial, be it resolved that a page in the secretarial records be dedicated to Miss Sargent and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to her sister, Miss Helen C. Sargent. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. In closing this, our thirty-first report, we wish to thank all who, during the year, have given gifts o£ any sort to the Library and who have helped us by their patronage and interest. Their support of our efforts is greatly appreciated. We also are grateful to our Librarian and her entire staff and to our Janitor for their efficient and willing service. We extend our thanks to the Librarian for acting as Secretary- Treasurer during the illness of Miss Sargent. Respectfully submitted, NATHANIEL STEVENS, MARY O. TYLER, CHARLES A: APPLETON, MOSES T.

Lewis as Director. This movement is sponsored by the American Automo- bile Association, who furnish free of charge all necessary equipment to properly distinguish the patrol leaders and make them clearly visible to passing motorists. Our department has received the fullest and most pleas- 5O ANNUAL REPORT ant cooperation from Superintendent Fred E. Pitkin, the principals, and the entire teaching staff of our grade schools in this important addition to our highway safety program. In a few instances criticism has been heard, bu~ it is generally felt that the personal safety of the children be- ing assured by keeping them on the sidewalks and cross- walks in their passage to and from school, their promptness in arriving home from classes and the discipline maintained by the patrol leaders, resulting in the social protection of the smaller children, justifies the continuance of the system.

FRANK DENEU, Dog Officer. $977 O0 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. ANNUAL REPORT MOTH--TREE DEPARTMENT MOTH DEPARTMENT This department is for the control of the gypsy moth, Browntail Moth, tent caterpillars and other insect pests. This work consists of creosoting the egg masses of the gypsy moths and spraying. The conditions this year are much im- proved over la.st year. We had about one-third less stripping this year in our wood land and roadsides. The browntail moth condition was much more improved over last year. This year we had a bad infestation of Elm Leaf Beetle and the canker worm. On account of the early wet season they got out of control of this department. To control these pests it requires a very early spray as soon ~s the leaves are large enough to hold a spray. The tent caterpillar was not as bad this year owing to the large amount of wild cherry trees that have been removed from the road side and burned to destroy the egg masses, and creosoting and spraying the webs. This department used over one and one-half tons of arsenate of lead for spraying town streets and private land. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CONNORS, Moth Superintendent. MOTH PROJECTSwW. P. A. This project is the same as ~ve have had in other years. The work consists of creosoting gypsy moth egg masses and and tent caterpillar webs; cutting Brown Tail webs, cutting wild cherry trees and destroying the egg masses. Approx- imately 367,400 gypsy moth egg clusters were creosoted. About 15,000 Brown Tail webs were cut and destroyed. Respectfully submitted, JOHN $. CONNORS, Tree Warden. 54 ANNUAL REPORT TOWN FOREST This year, 3,000 more trees have been planted in the Town Forest. There has been some trimming done. About all the cleared land available has been planted. This year, January 16, 1939, we 'started a W. P. A. Pro- j ect in the town forest. There are 23 men now at work, re- lease cutting, thinning, grubbing and cleaning more land for planting. The wood from this Project is turned over to the Welfare Department for fuel for Welfare recipients. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CONNORS, Tree Warden. TREE DEPARTMENT This Department has removed from the road side, some forty or more trees, large and small for reasons such as: Disea,sed or dangerous or other good reasons; considerable trimming and shapin~ of trees has been done up to the time of the hurricane of September 21, 1938. This Department did not plant any trees this year, owing to the town wide sidewalks project that has been going on. On this project, it was necessary to take down a number of trees or move them back to make way for the sidewalks. Now that the side- walks are completed on a number of .streets, we hope to plant these streets, knowing the right location for these trees. If it is possible we will replace as many of the blown down trees as we can. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CONNORS, Tree Warden. BRUSH CUTTING This appropriation being small, most of the work has been done cutting the brush at bad corners and cutting on narrow country roads. This brush must be piled up and burned or carted away and destroyed. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CONNORS, Tree Warden. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 55 HURRICANE EMERGENCY Due to the storm of Wednesday, September 21, 1938, an emergency was declared by the Board of Selectmen. This storm caused con.siderable damage to our street trees and others on private property as we all know. When this emer- gency was declared, every available man was put to work, who had axes or saws as we were not prepared for any such disaster. There were between !90 or 200 street trees blown down. These men worked all night cleaning the highways for traffic; but it was not until the following Saturday that every road in town was passable. The day following the storTM, every W. P. A. worker was put to work on this work, as a project to clean the streets of fallen trees. Since the storm this Department has taken down a number of trees that were in a dangerous condition caused by the storm. We have also bolted and braced twenty or more trees, that were split, in order to save them. There is considerable more work to be done as there are many trees to come down and broken limbs to be repaired yet. J. Shine F. Battler C. Kent A. Boulanger R. Stork C. Knowles E. Cunningham E.

We are pleased to report that at present the system is in good condition. Early in the year the 1919 White pump broke down and it was decided to give it a major overhauling and paint the truck. We inquired from a fire truck concern as to the cos~ of the work, and they gave the price as approximately $1,450. The Board agreed, however, to repair the truck at the fire station, with the cooperation of the regular department drivers under the supervision of the chief, who was familiar with automobile and truck repairs. This was done. Excepting some machine work done outside, the overhaul was completed by the drivers. The work including grinding cylinders, in- stalling new pistons and rings, checking all bearings, installing new timing gears, a new clutch and new transmis- sion, grinding all valves, and completely overhauling the pumping unit. The hood was made over to make a better appearance, a new windshield was made, and the truck was painted. The total cost was $563.06. We al'so had the large windows reset in the doors of the fire station, and the doors were scraped and painted by the regular drivers. In addition to the emergency appropriation of $736.02 expended during the hurricane and flood, we were able to pay from the regular department appropriation $220.05 for flood equipment,--supplies such as hired pumps, four pur- chased cellar syphons, gas and oil; and $228.49 for the fire alarm system, including wire and supplies. A year ago it was decided to try an experiment in our spare time to reduce the number of grass fire calls and the subsequent loss of time to both employees and employers of the call firemen. A crew of men and a piece of apparatus was ANNUAL REPORT sent out, and places known to be grass fire hazards causing frequent calls, as well as other spots at the request of home owners, were burned over under supervision. The result was a large decrease in alarms. We intend to continue this prac- tice. Respectfully submitted, JAMES HARGEAVES, Chief, THOMAS H. BRODERICK, WILLIAM J. DRYDEN.

The parents of pre-school children that is children entering school for the first time in September--were called on and advise& to have these children given an examination early by their physician or at the clinic conducted by the Board of Health, thus giving them the summer to have vaccination and defects if any corrected and the child in the best physical condition on entering school. Dog Bites In every case where biting or exposure occurs it is im- portant that the dog be identified. DO NOT KILL ! The ani- mal inspector confines the dog for two weeks. If the dog remains well there is no danger to people or animals bitten; if he has rabies definite symptoms will occur within the two weeks--period of restraint required by law. If the dog is not identified, anti rabic treatment is advised. Under the new law there wil~ be no reimbursement to the town for the expense of treatment if the biting or exposure is by an UNLICENSED dog.

REPORT .OF THE PLANNING BOARD To the Selectmen of the Town of North Andover In accordance with the action taken at the Annual Town Meeting in March, 1938, by which the Town decided to estab- lish a Planning Board under Chapter 211, Acts of 1936, the Moderator appointed the undersigned to act in that capacity, pending the election of a Board as provided by the Statute, at the next Annual Town Meeting. The Board, organized in August, has. held eleven regular meetings at which we have made an effort to discover proper means for the prosecution of our work and suitable subjects for our attention. By conferences with Town Official's, and citizens we have attempted to learn what problems demand early attention. The first duty of the Planning Board, as prescribed by law is the preparation of a master plan of the Town. This master plan would serve as the basis of a zoning by-law for consideration at a future town meeting. After careful inves- tigation of methods used in other communities we find that 76 ANNUAL REPORT this master plan may be properly carried out as a W. P. A. project. Acting in accordance with the provision of the law which establishes the Planning Board as the Board o£ Survey, we have met with the Selectmen and considered it wise to act in conjunction with them for the balance of the year. We appreciate the co-operation of the Selectmen who have regu- larly referred to us applications addressed to the Board of Survey. A subject calling for immediate action is the proper regulation of advertising signs and billboards. We have in- troduced an Article in the Town Warrant which we believe will give effective control. The by-law recommended has the approval o5 the Attorney General. The Board has given some study to the problem of a playground area at the Center. It is our opinion that such facilities must be provided to conserve the value of the Com- mon. This subject is closely related to a potential zoning by-law and will be more intelligently considered when a master plan is available. Therefore we have no definite recom- mendation at present. Recommendations (I) The appropriation of the sum of six hundred dollars ($600.00) for the use of the Planning Board--this to include an estimated amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00) as the Town's contribution in the Works Progress Administra- tion of a master plan plus the amount of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for incidental expenses of the Bom-d. (II) The adoption of the by-law providing for the regu- lation of advertising signs and billboards. Respectfully submitted, C. MASON TUCKER, Chairman. CORNELIUS E. SULLIVAN, JOHN A. MAItONE¥, ISAAC OSGOOD, WILLIAM B. DUFFY. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT 77 To James W. Elliott, Auditor: I hereby submit my annual report of the Highway De- partment for the year ending December 31, 1938. The mon_ey appropriated for snow removal was spent ploughing, sanding streets and sidewalks, clearing snow from in front of stores, churches and public buildings and hauling sand to Town sheds. The snow fences were taken care cf in the Fall and Spring. The following streets were oiled and sanded: Andover St., Buckingham Road, Cabot Road, Chestnut St.~ Hillside Road, Highland Terrace, Franham St., Great Pond Road, Es'sex St., Norman Road, Rea St., Saltonstall Road, Stevens St., Trinity Ct., Tollman Rd., Wilson Rd., Salem St., Wood Lane and from the Thatched Roof to Poor's residence. These streets were scarified, rolled and treated with asphalt: Beechwood St., Bruce St., Chapin Road, Columbia Road, Chadwick St., Dewey St., Edmund Road, Garden St., Hewitt Avenue, Hillside Road, Irving Road, Lyman Road, Milk St., Russell St., Robinson Court, Troy Road, and Trinity Court. Five hundred feet on Railroad Avenue, six hundred feet on Sutton St. (corner to Sutton's Hill), on Water St. from Elm to Clarendon, Pleasant St. and Commonwealth Avenue were scarified, rolled, oiled and covered with pea stone. Every one is quite familiar with conditions which ex- isted after the hurricane of last September. Considerable money was spent from the General Maintenance appropria- tion to help in clearing streets, removing stumps, and putting roads in condition. One hundred cubic yards of gravel was used for filling where stumps had been removed. All country roads were scraped in the Spring and Fall of the year. Clarendon Street Five hundred dollars was appropriated at the annual Town meeting to repair this street. After the rails had been removed by the Eastern Mass. Street Railway, the road was scarified, graveled treated with asphalt and covered with pea stone. Storm Damage to Higl~ways Two thousand dollars was appropriated by the State for Highway Damage. On Green Street, sixty feet of thirty-six 78 ANNUAL REPORT inch concrete pipe were laid, this replacing an old stone drain which had caved in. The wall was repaired, and the road shaped and oiled.

Of the 1938 taxes approximately 85% of the levy has been collected and on the 1937 taxes collections have advanced to 96% since last year's report. The 1936 levy, which was the first originally committed to your present collector, is practically com- pleted with amounts of $11.00 on personal property, $55.02 on real estate, and $.49 on excises as the only balances out- standing. A continued effort has again been made to collect the un- paid poll taxes and motor vehicle excises of older years. The results are shown in the last schedule of the report. On all overdue taxes the interest collections, including $411.73 of 1935 and previous years, have totalled $1,987.86. With any improvement in business conditions, the current year should see the taxes of back years practically collected. Toward the end of 1938 it was necessary under the new statute to report 116 cases of unpaid motor vehicle excises to the Registry of Motor Vehicles for the cancellation of registrations and the removal of ears from the highways. This procedure must be continued during 1939. The due dates of all the various taxes are stated on the bills and the co]lector has welcomed the opportunity to plan with the citizens toward meeting their tax obligations. Respectfully, IRVING E. YIINTON, Collector of Taxes. To James W.

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 owneFs 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 ]aid within his premises, together with the stop 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 set meters on all serv- ices and charge a rental 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 will 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 in~ernal pipes, connections and fixtures and keep them and all pipe to the street line in g~od 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 expen~ 112 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.

Eighteen six-inch gate valves and two hydrants were placed. The water main system now consists of fifty-three and seventy-three hundredths miles of main pipe, two twelve-inch check valves, one fourteen-inch gate, ten twelve-inch gates, thirteen ten- inch gates, sixty-one eight-inch gates, and four hundred and sixty-four six-inch gate valves, and three hundred and seven- teen public fire hydrants. The new water main extensions were as follows: Har- wood St. from Massachusetts Ave. southea.sterly, four hun- dred and twenty-eight feet of six-inch pipe, two six-inch gate valves and one hydrant; Salem Street near Abbott Street, nine feet of six-inch pipe, one .six-inch gate valve and one hydrant. Six-inch gate valves were placed on the fol- lowing hydrant branches: Pleasant Street between Elm and Clarendon Street; Sutton Street at Finnegan's and hydrant raised; Sutton Street near High Street and hydrant raised; Johnson Street at Cole's and hydrant replaced; Greene Street at Gurdy's and hydrant replaced; South Bradford Street at Smolak's and hydrant replaced; Chadwick Street near Chick- ering Road and hydrant replaced. Low hydrants were raised at the end of May Street, Salem at Summer Street, Chestnut Street at Parsonage, Osgood Street at Swift's, Salem Street at Joseph Smith's, Herrick Road at Little Road. Under the Works Progress Administration the following water mains were installed: Russell Street from the previous terminus at Allen Street to the previous terminus near Ox- ford Street, three hundred and eighty-four feet of six-inch pipe; Saltonstall Road from previous terminus southerly to I-Ierrick Road, two hundred and two feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve; Chapin Road from previous terminus northerly to Middlesex Street, two hundred and eleven feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve; Trinity Court from previous terminus northeasterly to Massachusetts Ave- nue, two hundred and twenty-five feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve; Brightwood Avenue from previous terminus southeasterly to Furber Avenue, three hundred and eighty-four feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve; Middlesex Street from previous terminu~ easterly to pre- vious terminus at Milton Street four hundred and four feet of six-inch pipe; Wilson Road from previous terminus south- erly to Turnpike Street one hundred and eighteen feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve; Buckingham Road TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 121 from Herrick Road to Lyman Road four hundred and eighty~ three feet six-inch pipe and two six-inch gate valves; Lyman Road from Little Road to Buckingham Road two hundred and twenty-five feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve. The W.P.A. spent $4,541.01 for labor and the Town spent $2,814.15 for materials under article 20 and $276.00 for labor on the above W.P.A. projects. Under Articles 51 and 52 no water mains were placed on Norris Street or Railroad Avenue respectively because no guarantees ~vere made in accordance with the vote of the town meeting. The system of water main pipes is listed according to size as follows: SIZE OF 14 12 LENGTH 423 17558 There were installed services and eighty-three PIPE (INCHES) 10 8 6 OF PIPE (FEET) 8095 41247 216371 during the year 1938 twenty new old services were either wholly or partially renewed. There were seventy service leaks, three joint leaks, one cracked main and one hydrant broken by a falling tree on Chadwick Street during the September hurri- cane. Ten services, no longer in use, were dug up and shut off at the main making a total of one hundred and twenty services removed from danger of leaking. Bacterial exami- nations of the water have been made monthly by the De- partment of Public Health of the Commonwealth in accord- ance with their new system of public water supply control and the water has always received their approval. Careful, conscientious reading of all meters in accord- ance with the system started in 1937 of reading not only for the billing period but also between periods has proven satis- factory for the department and consumers alike. The inter- mediate readings with notice of leaks or unusual large consumption bas been commended by several property own- ers. Continued inspection of meters and repair of meters by factory methods have produced obvious worth while results. Hydrant and gate valve inspections were carried out as in former years. Especial attention has been given to hydrants that were set too low or had given trouble in leaking or not draining properly. The stoker installed on the 1928 boiler at the Pumping Station proved to be efficient and economical in operation. A mechanical type boiler tube cleaner was placed on the same boiler. Damage to the slate roof and ridge pole flashing by ANNUAL REPORT the September hurricane was repaired and all the wood trim painted. The wooden garage was repaired and painted. After the failure of several tubes and upon the recommenda- tions of the insurance company the boiler tubes were re- p]aced and repairs made on the boiler installed in 1913 so that several more years of useful service should be obtained from this boiler. The plunger rods on the 1.5 M.G.D. pump installed in 1916 were turned down and covered with bronze sleeves in order to overcome the pitting which caused trouble when this stand-by pump was used. The policy of having a self-contained pumping station kept in good operating con- dition was proved to be the proper one after the September hurricane when no interruption to ordinary operation was experienced. Ninety-three boats were registered for use on Lake Cochichewick and two hunded and thirty-nine residents were given permits to boat and fish there. In following out a definite construction program in order that the water system may be strengthened and improved 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. The original wooden coal bin at the Pumping Station be replaced with a la~ger bin of permanent construction. 3. 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 1939 it is recommended that the following minor extensions and improvements be made to the system: 1. Replace the 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. Raise, relocate and place gates on severa] hydrants throughout the town and especially on these heavily traveled ways: Sutton, Main, Middlesex Street, and Massachusetts Avenue. 3. l~lace new hydrants where the nearest present hydrant entails the use of excessive lengths of fire hose: a) End of Tolland Road TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 123 b) Near 225 Massachusetts Avenue c) Middlesex Street near Greene Street d) End of Beacon Hill Road e) Pleasant Street at Lexington Street f) Lincoln Street between Pleasant and Oxford Streets g) Near 471 Massachusetts Avenue h) Near 375 Massachusetts Avenue i) Near 62 Salem Street Sewer Department Fourteen connections, totaling seven hundred and thirty- one feet, were made between buildings and the main sewers. Three particular sewers blocked by roots were relaid. Thirty- nine particular sewers, most of them blocked by roots, were cleared. The .location of all sewer manholes and the raising of those found too low was started during the year and will be continued until completed. During November several hun- dred yards of fill were placed on the East Side Sewer right of way in Colonial Gardens to fill the holes and prevent the infiltration of Cochichewiek Brook into the sewer during periods of flood. From the manhole at Sutton's Mill on Sutton Street to Cochichewick Brook thirty-four feet of twelve-inch cast iron pipe and one twelve-inch gate valve were placed in order to provide an emergency outlet for the East Sid Sewer. The following recommendation is made in order that the sewerage system be improved in accordance with 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 and the Center. Further extensions of the sewerage system on the West Side Drainage area must await the extension of the West Side Trunk Sewer from Mas'saehusetts Avenue southerly along the Shawsheen River. Few extensions in the Central Drainage Area remain to be made. It should be noted that the sewerage system in North Andover was designed and has been constructed as a separate system making use of small diameter pipes and high velocity of flow with no provision for drainage of surface or ground waters. The use of the sanitary sewer for drainage pupose is a violation of the rules relating to their use and the continued use of the sewers for this purpose will eventually lead to unsanitary conditions and considerable expense to the town especially if the proposed trunk sewer from Lowell to the ANNUAL REPORT sea is constructed and North Andover's sewage disposed of in that manner. Surface drains have been provided in many locations and can be provided in many others to take care of such drainage without subsequent damage or expense. PARK DEPARTMENT The Center Common, Training Grounds, Memorial Park, Historical Society Plot, and the Triangles have been maintained as usual. A new plot, placed at the intersection of Hodges and Sargent Streets at the request of the Board of Selectmen, has caused much favorable comment. The shrubs along Greene Street at Memorial Park were replaced with shrubs allowing a view of the Park from that street and more suited to future growth. The September hurricane caused great damage to Memor- ial Park where two largest and oldest maple trees were broken and uprooted, and fifteen smaller trees were uprooted or split. All the small trees that could be were righted and guyed, the broken branches trimmed out and splits repaired where possible. Only one large tree was blown down at the Common but a great many broken branches had to be cleared from the trees. Six trees were blown down at the Historical Society plot. The hurricane repair project of the W. P. A. was of great assistance in removing slumps and grading afterwards. The recommendation is repeated that some other place be provided for the older boys in the Center to play as the lawn and shrub's placed around the Phillips Brooks statue at considerable expense by the Improvement Society, have been damaged and the work of the .department seriously im- paired.

LOUIS H. McALOON, Chairman, CLINTON W. CARVELL, DR. FRED C. ATKINSON, School Committee. REPORT OF THE ,SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS North Andover, Mass., January 10, 1939. To the Members of the School Committee: I hereby submit to you my twelfth annual report. Instruction for Adult Aliens Now Required Massachusetts statutes now require the School Com- mittee to establish classes for adult aliens when twenty or more persons have declared their desire to attend. As the required number of persons have applied it is planned to start a class foi- them in January, 1939, and to have three sessions a week for fourteen weeks. Law Requires Class for Ten Retarded Pupils The laws of the state require the establishment of a full- time special class for retarded pupils when there are ten or more 'such pupils. As there are now more than ten pupils need- ing such instruction, a part time class is held for them. This instruction is inadequate. A full-time class would cost $1200 to $1600 a year. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 131 Three Pupils Physically Unable to Attend School and Need Instruction at Home Whenever there are five or more children of school age physically unable to attend school, the statutes require that they be given home instruction. Last year 1006 such pupils received home instruction in this state. On Oct. 1, 1938 the school census showed there were five children ages 7 to 14 physically unable to attend school. As two of these are now in institutions and as one has suf- ficiently recovered from heart trouble to attend school, no home instruction is now required. Some instruction by les.sons sent to the homes of the re- maining three is provided. Chance to Receive 45 % Federal Aid on New School Building In July as a means of reducing unemployment the federal Public Works Administration announced that it would pro- vide 45% of the cost of approved project's to build new school buildings. The other 55% would be furnished by the local communities. To give the voters an opportunity of accepting or re- jeering this offer, a special town meeting was called at the request of the School Committee to consider the following two alternate projects on a 45%-559¥ basis. To appropriate $176,000 as 55% of the cost of a new junior high school. Or, to appropriate 55 % toward the cost of a new four-year senior high school building, est/mated to cost $350,000. A twelve- page bulletin was sent to each family giving information re- garding both proposals. New High School Building Voted Down A majority of the SchooI Committee favored the first proposal and a minority favored the second. About 450 attended the special town meeting held in August. The Advisory Board reported unfavorably on both proposals. A motion to accept the recommendation of the Advisory Board was carried without a dissenting vote, and the meeting quickly adjourned. If the motion had been to appropriate the necessary amount of money, it is believed about a third, but not a ma- jority of those present would have voted for it. 83% of Elementary Pupils Score above Age Standard Metropolitan Achievement Tests were given to all pupils in Grades I to VIII in May and June. 83 % of the pupils made scores as high or higher than the standard median for their 182 ANNUAL REPORT ages. Normally 50% are expected to reach these standards as they are middle-of-the-class standards. All classes had median scores above standard in all sub- jects except in spelling in Grades II and V, which were slight- ly below. 68% of Elementary Pupils Score above Grade Standards In the Metropolitan tests 68% of all the elementary pupils scored as high or higher than the median standards for their grades. Normally 50 % are expected to do so. The pupils tended to score highest in reading and English and lowest in arithmetic and spelling. New Textbooks in Arithmetic~ English and Spelling The Study Arithmetics, Grades I to VI, have replaced Arithmetic by Practice. Growth in English, Grades I to VI, and Junior English Activities, Grades VII and ¥III, have replaced Good English. The Newlon-Hannah Speller, Grades II to VIII has replaced My Speller. Teachers Rank High Scholastically During the last ten years 39 graduates of Johnson High School have continued their education and trained for teaching. These persons when graduating from Johnson averaged to have a percentile rank of 77 in their class. This means that they averaged to be in the upper quarter of their graduating classes. They averaged to rank 27 above the middle of their classes, as a rank of 50 is the middle of a class, 100 the top and 1 the bottom. Scholarship Necessary to Teaching Though scholarship is not the sole source of success in teaching, it is generally a necessary qualification for teachers. Since most of the teaching vacancies occurring in this town are filled with local candidates, it is very important for the welfare of our schools that those who train for teaching are high school graduates of high rank. Unemployment Greatest Among the Least Educated During 1938 there were 140 boys and girls, ages 16 to 21, who had completed their schooling and secured employment. On October 1 there were 53 who had left school and had not obtained employment. For the above two groups, the percent unemployed and the amount of education is shown below. Grade XIII means one year of education beyond high school, XII graduation frmn high school, XI the Junior year, X the Sophomore year, etc. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 133 Education Grade XIII " XII " XI " X " IX " VIII " VII % of Group Unemployed 21% ............................. 29% ........................................ 41% ....................................................... 26% ........................................ 31% ...................................... 4~% ............................................................ 7~% .......................................... ~ ........................ The above data show a distinct tendency for the groups with the least education to have the larger percentage of unemployment. Employed Youth Average I Year 2 Months More Education The average grade at which the employed left school is 11.6 (6th month of the 11th grade). The unemployed left school at an average grade o£ 10.4, a difference of i year 2 months. For those with 6th grade education the chances of be- ing unemployed was 3 to 1. This was 12 times greater than the chances of unemployment for the High School graduates, for whom the chances were I to 4. Probably youth and ma- turity are also factors. High Scholastic Rank Gives Girls Greater Chance of Employment On Oct. 1 there were 80 employed boys ages 16 to 21 and 20 employed girls for whom we had scholastic ranking. There were 14 unemployed boys and 33 unemployed girls. Each was ranked on a percentile scholarship basis with num- bers from 1 to 100, I being the bottom o£ the classes and 100 the top. Employed boys averaged to rank 38 or only 2 points higher than the unemployed boys. The employed girls aver- aged to rank 46 or 20 points higher than the unemployed girls. More girls than boys obtain clerical positions and office jobs and the above figures indicate that in those fields scholarship is an aid to employment. State Supervisor Disapproves Lack of Teachers at High School In a letter dated Dec. 29, 1938, the second from him dur- ing the year on this topic, Mr. A. Russell Mack, State Super- visor of Secondary Education, called attention to the fact that Johnson High School has 33.8 pupils per teacher. He stated that this is 2.8 pupils per teacher more than the ANNUAL REPORT approved maximum, and urges an increase in the number of teachers there. Two More Teachers Needed at High School The figures below show how the student body has out- grown the teaching staff at Johnson. Pupils Enrollment No. Teachers per Teacher 1923-4 246 10 24.6 1924-5 279 12 23.3 1934-5 381 13 29.2 1938-9 440 13 33.8 Now needed 440 13-~2 29.3 There are now 9 more pupils per teacher than in 1924 when two teachers were added to reduce the teaching load. Two more teachers are needed with the present enrollment to reduce the pupil-teacher ratio below 30, which is the state approved maximum. Your attention is called to the report of the high school principal regarding pupil-teacher ratios. Johnson High School Tuition Charge in Lowest 8% In Massachusetts a High School is permitted to charge non-res/dent pupiIs tuition that is the average cost per pupil in the school, not including transportation, administration and capital outlay. For Johnson High School the rate of tuition thus calcu- lated is $76.20. Compared with the tuition rates of the 224 high schools in this state last year, the North Andover rate was in the lowest 8 %.. 0nly 19 others had as low a rate. As teachers' salaries make up most of the High School costs the low tuition rate may be indirect indication of too few teachers on the staff and of the need of at least one more teacher there. Bradstreet Enrollment Exceeds Merrimack for the First Time On Oct. 1, 1922, the first year after the new Bradstreet School was built, the enrollment at the Bradstreet School was 183, while the Merrimack School enrollment was 313. There has been a gradual increase in the Bradstreet enroll- ment and a decrease in the Merrimack enrollment until on Oct. 1, 1938, the Bradstreet enrollment of 253 exceeded the enrollment o£ 250 at the Merrimack by three pupils. The Bradstreet School now has the largest elementary enroll- ment in town. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 135 Nearly One-third of Pupils Change Towns During Elementary School Life Of the 350 pupils graduating from Grade VIII during the last three years, 74, or 21%, had moved into North Andover while in Grade.s I to VIII. At the same rate of change, the proportion would reach 30?; by the time they graduated from High School. Mobility of Population Makes More State Aid Desirable This transfer o£ pupils among towns indicates that in the future nearly half of the voters o£ North Andover will have received some or all o£ their education elsewhere than here. Because of this fact, we in this town should be interested in any program that improves schools throughout the state. This interchange and mobility of families is one reason why the state, should, by increased state aid, share more in the cost of schools. North Andover Families Average Two Children Each Data from the school census, which is by families, show the average family size to be two children. In the largest family there are 12 living children. In the largest 10% of families there are six or more living children, and in the largest 25% of families there are four children, and in the smallest 25 ~/~ of families there is one child per family. This data includes only families having children in school and in which the youngest child is now eight years of age. It does not include the families with no children. Trends in family size are important in predicting school enrollments. Recent Smaller Birth Rates Point to Declining Enrollments For the years in which the births supplied the children in the schools during the last ten years the birthrate averaged about 110 births a year. For the years in which the births supply the pupils for the next ten years the birthrate aver- aged about 85 per year. This reduction in births will lead to reduced enrollment in the elementary 'schools unless offset by new families with children moving into this town. aged about 85 per cent per year. This reduction in births will lead to reduced enrollment in the elementary schools unless offset by new families with children moving into this town. 136 ANNUAL REPORT ,4,.

Osgood relinquished her position as teacher in Grade III, Merrimack School in June after 41 years of service in this town. Miss Osgood graduated from John- son High School in 1887, .substituted in all grades 1893-6, tutored grades II-VII in 1896-7, and appointed teacher of the Kimball School, Aug., 1897. In 1899 the Kimball School was closed (and later re-opened), and Miss Osgoad was made assistant teacher in Grades I-IV at the Center School. From 1901 to 1908 she taught the lower grades in the Center School, from 1911 to 1912 Grades III, IV and V in the Merri- mack School, and from 1924 to 1938 Grade III in the Merri- mack School. She was an able teacher, faithful to her duties, respected and loved by all her pupils. It is sincerely hoped that her well earned years of retirement will be years of health and happi- ness. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 137 In Conclusion During the recent years o£ severe economic depression the condition of our books, supplies and ecluipment reached a condition that was a distinct handicap to instruction. Some improvement in this respect was made during this past year, and to alt of the staff this has been stimulating, thereby im- proving the morale and efficiency of all. This together with the cooperation of the faculty and the appreciative attitude of the School Committee has made this a very enjoyable year. Respectfully submitted, FRED E. PITKIN, Supt. of Schools. 138 ANNUAL REPORT IN MEMORIAM Mr. Charles T. Wilde passed away Nov. 24, 1938. He was elected member of the School Committee in 1920 and served continuously until 1934. He had a kindly and sympathetic interest in the edu- cation and welfare of all boys and girls. He was particularly interested in trying to provide worthwhile courses for those pupils who have particular difficulty with the purely academic subjects, and his persistent influence led to official action by the School Committee in that direction. Because of his wide industrial experience the other mem- bers of the Committee hooked to him for advice and leader- ship in problems requiring practical knowledge and business efficiency. He was a valuable member and served his eom- reunify faithfully and well. His generous service in the cause of education and youth will be long remembered. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. Courtesy of Eagle-Tribune IN MEMORIAM Death came to Miss Annie L. Sargent December 11, 1938. She was graduated from Johnson High School in 1878. Immediately follo~ving her graduation she became a teacher there. In 1903 she was made assistant principal, from 1904 to 1922 she was associate principal and from then until her re- tirement at the age of seventy in June, 1932, she was prin- cipal. Her term of service in that school totaled fifty-four years. From November, 1932, until April, 1935, she was a member of the School Committee, part of which time she was chairman. Three generations have known Miss Sargent as teacher, and all recall with love and gratitude her splendid influence and service. She xvas a person of unusual ability, personality and character, and her death a cause of great sorrow to all who have known her. ANNUAL REPORT REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL January 5, 1939 To the Superintendent of Schools: Following is my seventh annual report for Johnson High School. Enrollment figures as of October I for the past five years are given below. 1934 1935 1936 1937 1938 Post Graduates 19 8 12 14 20 Seniors 55 79 77 79 73 Juniors 101 88 86 80 87 Sophomores 113 107 92 101 123 Freshmen 120 105 112 130 134 408 387 379 404 437 For several days during the middle of September, the school had its maximum enrollment of 439, while the names of 454 different pupils have appeared on the register since the opening of school in September, 1938. In June, 1938, 79 pupils were graduated. Of this num- ber 11 are continuing their education in colleges, 29 are enrolled in training schools, other than colleges, and 26 are recorded as employed. Four pupils who entered college in September were recipients of scholarship aid. The North Andover Women's Club Scholarship was awarded to Dorothy Sutton, who is now attending Simmons College. Others who received scholarships were Milton D. How- ard, Allen N. Towne and Thomas D. McKiernan. At present they are attending Tuft's College, Northeastern University and Boston University, respectively. An attempt has been made to estimate the probable size of our school for next year by using the average percent of those pupils who have remained in school and advanced from each grade to the next higher grade each year during the past five years. These percentages indicate a probable enrollment of 108 freshmen, 123 sophomores, 105 juniors and 78 seniors, which gives a total of 412 undergraduates. Add to this num- ber 14 post graduates, which is the average number over the pa'st five years, and the total anticipated enrollment is found to be 426. This number approximates our present enrollment which indicates that no decided decrease can be expected for next year. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 141 Following is a table which lists the size of full time classes, as of December 2, 1938. Size of Class Number of Classes 1-5 2 6-10 3 11-15 5 16-20 4 21-25 9 26-30 11 31-35 20 36-40 9 41-45 6 Total Classes 69 An inspection of this table shows that the median size class, (the class whose size is such that there are just as many :smaller as there are larger), lies in the 31-35 group. This means that over half the classes being taught in our school at the present time number at least 31 pupils and that our ratio of pup/Is per full time teacher exceeds 33. Last spring we had the pleasure of a visit from A. Russell Mack, the State Supervisor of Secondary Education for Mass- achusetts. I quote in part, from his report: "I believe you should have an additional teacher. The pupil-teacher ratio is 31 to 1. The standard formerly for a class A High School was 25 to 1 and then was in- increased to 30 to 1. It would appear that you should do something in this respect. Possibly some time in the future North Andover can have some building activity which will correct some of the physical defects which I have listed. In the mean- time, surely an additional teacher is to be recommended in the strongest terms." This report would indicate that there is urgent need for at least one additional teacher on our staff, as the report was made when our school numbered 35 fewer pupils than it does today. While considering our present overcrowded conditions, I happened upon some rather interesting statements of the past. I quote from the report of the High School Principal for the year ending in December, 1917, after the addition to our school had been in use for a month. "There are some of the citizens who wonder what we are to do with so much room. Our reply to this query is that there is not a room in the building that is not now in use." It is interesting to note 142 ANNUAL REPORT that the enrollment at that time was 128 pupils, for in this way one may secure some idea of the handicaps under which we now work with 437 pupils in the same space. It is also interesting to note in the report of the Committee on the High School (1916) their recommendation "to enlarge the present building to furnish proper and necessary accommo- dation for a school of three hundred. This plan, it was thought, would care for the needs of the High School for a te~m~ of ten years at least." The above statements are worthy of more than perfunctory thought. During the past year we have been fortunate in that we have had no change of teachers. Frequent teacher turn- over creates problems which lessen the efficiency of a school to a marked degree. In September, 1938, we inaugurated a shop course for a limited number of boys who had demonstrated that they possessed the ability to profit from hand work. This course meets eight periods a week and is devoted to wood work, metal work and repair projects. Mr. Vincent of the manual training department is in charge of this course and is doing excellent work with these boys. Last year, after an extensive study of the effect of mid- year and final examinations, on final grades of pupils, it was considered expedient to abolish the formal examinations which had been customary in January and June of each year. Investigation showed that 78% of final grades had, in the past, been influenced by such examinations hy less than three percentage points. Because of this small change, and be- cause of the fact that approximately 10¢ of the school year had, in the past, been devoted to preparation for and taking ef these examinations, it was theught wise to use this time to better advantage. Our shorter examinations are given as before, at frequent intervals. Home football games this past fall showed a net loss while games away from home produced a net income of about $250. Because of the fact that athletics must pay their own way, very few football games will be played at home next fall. Unfortunately, the financial angle of the program must he considered. This problem will continue to be present as long as we are forced to work under conditions which now prevail. In reviewing the past months, I believe we can safely say our school has had a successful year. This has been due in large measure to the sincere and earnest efforts and the splendid spirit of cooperation existing between all who TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 143 have in any way been responsible for our high 'school pro- gram. ALVAH G. HAYES, Principal. REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN Mr. Fred E. Pitkin Supt. of Schools North Andover, Mass. January 27, 1939. Dear Mr. Pitkin: For the past several years, physical examinations of school children have been limited to the pupils of the lower grades. This past year, examinations have been undertaken at the High School. Two classes, Sophomores and Seniors, were examined. In an attempt to avoid any disruption of the school schedule, small groups were examined once a week. I believe this plan worked mutually well for all concerned. It was yew gratifying to have the opportunity to follow up the work done in the lower grades, and to note the marked absence of bad teeth, infected tonsils and poor nutritional states was very noticeable, and except for an occasional organic defect and a few functional disturbances, the High School pupils examined presented an excellent health record. A detailed list of defects found is present on another page. I wish to thank Miss Robinson, school nurse, and school authorities for their interest and COOl~eration in this work. Respectfully submitted, FRED C. ATKINSON, School Physician. 144 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR 1938 Receipts Appropriation $114,509 0O Refunds 30 55 Total $114,530 55 Expenditures Expenses of School Committee $ 1,555 88 Salaries: teachers, supt, 76,834 31 Attendance Officer and Census 320 28 Expenses of Officials 342 30 Books and Supplies 6,443 59 Salaries of Janitors 7,961 08 Fuel 3,578 74 Expenses of Operating 2,118 74 Repairs and Replacements 4,584 66 Health Work 2,316 45 Transportation 6,067 00 Tuition 1,188 20 New Equipment 1,047 05 Miscellaneous 170 37 114,528 65 Unexpended balance i 90 $114,530 55 The item for teachers' salaries includes payments to sub- stitute Leachers as follows: Mary Lane Boyle $91.00, Char- lotte Cyr $35.00, Margaret Donlan $135.00, Henry Ho[z $8.25, Anne Kelleher $5.00, Helen Kelley $77.25, Charles Mar- tin $20.00, Mary McAloon $15.00, Mildred Myers $186.75, Mary M.

Oh! Johnson High, we all salute, You lead in every way, We'll honour you forever more And rightful homage pay. Dear Johnson High, we hate to go, To stroll along life's ways For then we'll dream of you, dear school, Where we spent happy days. We'll very seldom meet again, It may be many years; So raise the cup of friendship now, As parting time draws near. Senior Marshal Junior Marshals Mary Marcella Costello, '38. Thomas H.
