Attest: JOHN J.

This year, April 1958, for the first time since the Town was incorporated in 1855, the office of the Town Clerk became a full- time position, with re~lar office hours now being maintained for the convenience of the public in the orderly administration of municipal affairs, and for the processing of municipal services and supplyi~ug sources of information for citizens in their dealing with our local government. It was a most welcome respite from the last twelve years as a part time office which at times were pretty much pressed and busy ones due to the fast growth and development of the T~wm. Without the assistance of my good wife, who many times during the part-time tenure went to the Town Clerks office to take care of many details and requests that needed i~mediate attention, it would have been most difficult. Being a full-time position now it has enabl~edme to learn my duties without all the hustle and bustle of the vast amount of administrative work and various elections. I am grateful to the Townspeople for their interest and faith in voting me this fu]l-tLme position, i shall try at all times to do my best as a stat%[tory officer of the Town, comply and enforce the laws and duties of the office as prescribed by the C~amonwealth of Massachusetts, the by-laws of the Town and the requests of the Board of Selectmen. To our neighboring To~ and City Clerks of Andover, Methuen and Lawrence. I want to publicly thank them for their advice and counsel that they'have favored and helped me per- sonally with in setting up a sound, solid and stable systam of oper- ation and service to all.

On March 22nd we had a big snowstorm. However, a few of the Town Officials, Advisory Board Members and the Moderator plowed through the snow and opened the meeting at 1:30 P.M., and at 1:32 P.M., adjourned ~ntil March P9th when the business in the warrant was completed.

Dear John: As required by law I subnit herewith my resignation as a member of the North Andover Housing Authority. A copy is being forwarded to Edwin C. Murphy, Chairman of the Authority.

Seventeen old services were either wholly or partially renewed. The new and renewed services eq~al]ed one and three tenths miles of type "K" copper service pipe. Fifty-five new meters were installed and one hundred sixty-seven old meters were removed, inspected, repaired and reset. There were twenty- seven service leaks, three m~n Joint leaks, one split mafn pipe leak and two hydramts broken by autnm~biles. All hydrants were inspected as usual, repaired where necessary and painted. The ann. al z~pair and inspection of almost n~ne hundred gate valves and valve boxes in t~e system in accordance with a definite schedule continues to prove to be worthwhile maintenance. The twelve-inch w~ter mains installed in 1898 on Chestnut Street from Milk Street to the re- servoir and the ten-inch main on Pleasant Street from Chickering Road to Clarendon Street were cleaned and c~m~t ~ned in place by the Centriline Corporation of New York. A ten-inch gate valve was installed on Pleasant Street at Chickering Road in connection with this work. The stesm boilers and steam pump and engine installed many years ago at the South Pumping Station were removed by con- tract with H. Holden and Sons, of Wilmington, ~ss. The boiler walls aud foundations and the p~,~p and engine foundations were re- moved by department labor, and the boiler room floor concreted and the w~lls painted. Au oil burner was installed at the ~outh ~-ping Station on the existing heating boiler by Howe Heating Corporation of Audover, the low bidder, which takes care of the station and the ~"Ding Stations Supervisor's house located there. The house on the 1.05 acres of land at 198~-1986 Great Pond Road taken by the town to protect the town's water supply ,.,~er a~thority of a special town meeting of June 10, 1958, was r~m~v~d by contract with Ra~mond Dill of North Andover. The open reservoirs off Chestnut Street were ~,ptied, cleaned and repaired where necessary while the twelve-inch water mains to them were being cleaned and cement limed by the Ceat riline Corporation. One hundred and seventy-eight boat registration plates were issued and two h~udred and twenty-seven residents were granted permdts to boat mud fish in Lake Cochichewick. ~Vorcement of the regulation of the State Department of Public Health for preventing the pollution aud securing the sanitary protection of the water of Leke Cochichewick, souroe of the town's water supply, has become serious with the increasing use of the lake for recreational pur- poses and the development of the shores for housing and other uses. The reservoirs were inspected by the County Eagineer as required by the General Laws and found to be in satisfactory condition. Constant bacterial examinations of the water have been made by the Department of Public Health and the water found to be satisfactory. Annual inspection of the double check valve installed between the public water supply and other sources of supply for industrial use only have been made in cooperation with the Depax~...~ut of P~blic Health of the Co-~onwealth. A total of 419~ 608, 500 gallons of water were p,-wped by the North and South ~,,T~ing Stations in 1958. This is the largest amount ever p~,.~.?ed fx~m Lake Cochichewick, the souroe of North Andover's water supply, and is 23 million gallons more thau 1957, the previous record year. Over 40 per cent of the water p~m?ed for the year was used by industrial and c~,~ercial consumers. llO The North Andover Sewerage System in'designed to flow in three divisions, the East Side Drainage Area with its trunk sewer follow- ing Cochichewick Brook from T~e Cochichewick to the Merrimack River; the West Side Dradnage ~.rea with its tx,.nk on Massachusetts Avenue, Waverley Road end along the Shawsheen River to the Merr~m.~k River; the Central Drainage Area bounded by Waverley Road, Middlesex and Water Streets, with trunk sewers on Waverley Road~ Water Stre&t, and Msdn Street to the Merrimack River. There a~e twenty-seven and one hsJ_f miles of ms,in sewers in the North ~ndover Sewerage Syste~ with seventeen hundred aud sixty-three house connections. s~z~ o~ smum (n~cums) 27 2~ 2o 18 15 ~2 10 8 6 LENGTH ~ ~ (FEET) 1858 7083 822 8450 5650 5766 20054 44716 51055 The following ma~n sewers were constructed in 1958 by the Dow Co, any of Methuen, the low bidder: Chadwick Street from previous terminus near Moody Street, six hundred and fifty feet of eight- inch pipe aud five ~les; Spruce Street from previous terminus to H~mlock Street, one hundred eighty-five feet of eight-inch pipe; H~m~ock Street from Spruce Street, two hundred ninety feet of eight- inch pipe end one m~thole. The following extensions to the West Side Sewer, authorized by Article 56 of the 1958 A~ual Town Meeting, were made by A. D'Allessandro end Sons of Hyde Park, the low bidder: Greene Street from North Andover town line to Massachusetts Avenue, five hundred and eighty-three feet of eight-inch pipe, one hundred feet of ten-inch pipe, five hundred and fifty-one feet of fifteen inch pipe and nine z~m~holes; Wood Lane from Greene Street to Woodstock Street, eight hnndred and twenty-feet of ten-inch pipe and four hundred and sixty-six feet of twelve-inch pipe and five manholes; right-of-way from Bruce Street to Mablin Avenue~ two hundred and thirty-three feet of twenty-four inch pipe; Mablin Avenue Denvers Street to Elmwood Street, two hundred end forty feet of twenty-four inch pipe and two manholes; Elmwood Street, Mablin Avenue to right of way one hundred sixty-four feet of twenty-four inch pipe and one manhole; right of way from Elmwood Street to Harwood Street~ seven hundred and sixty-five feet of twenty-four inch pipe and two m~nholes; Harwood Street, right of way to Shawsheen Avenue, sixty- four feet of twenty-four inch pipe and two manholes; Shawsheen Avenue, Harwood Street to Greene Street, six hundred end ninety-one feet of twenty-four inch pipe and two manholes. Thirty feet of fifty-four inch rein£orced concrete pipe ~d concrete end walls were installed to repair the drainage canal along Greene Street in order to protect the sewer ~in, The work was discontinued in late 111 December because of the winter weather. O~e h, mdred and twenty feet of eight-inch pipe and one n~mmhole were planed on Sutton Street from Methuen Avenue by the contractor for the Lawr~-nce Airport and fifteen hundred feet of eight-inch pipe and seven ms~oles were constructed on the airport property to serve the new Terminal Building by the ss~e contractor. Forty-one sewer connections, totaling twenty-six hundred and thirty-eight feet were laid between buildings and m~n sewers. ~eventy-six particular sewers~ most of the~ blocked with roots were cleaned. All main sewers were flushed end cleaned in the spring as usual while twenty-three n~n sewers partial ly blocked by roots were inspected a~ cleaned several times. A stoppage of the tr~uk sewer on Wayne Street at Bunkerhill Street which could not be cleared with the use of the power sewer cleaning equipment borrowed from the Lawrence Sewer Dep~-~ent mmde it necesss_~y to dig up and replace fifty-two feet of vitrified cl~y pipe with reim- forced concrete pipe. The manholes were repaired and the frames and covers r~ised to proper grade on the following reconstructed streets: High Strset, Sutton Street to Water Street, Elm Street, Water Street to Main Street; Park Street, Main Street to Pleasant Street, Herrick Road, Middlesex Street to Massachusetts Avenue, Waverley Road, Main Street to Middlesex Street, Pleasant Street, Chickering Road to Clarendon Street and School Street. Two m~nholes on the West Side Trunk Sewer near the Shawsheen River were raised several feet. SCHOOL GROUND~ DEPAI~ Under the provisions of Chspter 80 of the Acts of 195~, the care~ imt~rovem~t and maintenance of school depa~ant property, exclusive of school buildings, was assumed at that time. The areas involved a~e as follows: Bredstreet ~chool - 1.20 acres, Thomson School - 3-OO acres~ Kittredge School - 6.57 acres, Johnson High School - 1.57 acres, North Andover High School - 28.73 acres e~xd Fr~uklin School - 8.77 acres, a total of ~9.8~ acres. A portion of the Franklin School grounds not included in the building contract was cleared of large stones and graded for a play area. Basketball standards were installed at the Frsnklin School. Football fields were laid out at the Kittredge School and at the Thomson School. A mn~ll footbal 1 practive field was graded and laid out at the Parker Street entrance to the High School. The driveways and parking areas at the High School were treated with Barrett R~de- Rite Asphalt and covered with pea stone. The girls soft-ball diamond w~s rebuilt at the High School. The baseball and football fields were marked out and maintained for the High School te~. The Thomson, Kittredge~ and High School grounds were fertilized, mowed and maintained as usual. 112 The Park system now consists of the Center Co~n of 3.2 acres, Training Grounds of 1.9 acresj Memorial Park of 2.7 acres, Old Burying Ground of 1.1 acres end the smaller Historical Plot, Faa~.~ing- ton Burying Ground and twenty sm~!l plots at street intersections, a total of over ten acres. All the above a~eas were maintained as ~lsu~. The Ph~ 111ps Brooks Statute on the Cemter Co~m~n w~s flood- lighted at Christmas. Most of the over-grown shrubs at the monument on Memorial Park were r~m~ved and some new shrubs added. The gr~vel walks at Memorial Park a~ the Center C~mmon were resurfaced with stone dust. The F~ington Burying Ground off Berry Street was graded. Becky's Pond on the Training Ground was maintained for skating and several dead trees in the area were removed. The t~ossibility of properly maintaining a park and allowing it to be used as a playground is being demonstrated again at M~m~rial Park, 8A~d Center Common. It is recommended that other sites be secured for playgrounds if the present parks developed over the past thirty years by the town, the North Andover Improv~m~ut Society, the Garden Club and private persons, are not to be da~ad and their attractiveness destroyed. PLAYGROUND DEPARTMENT The recreational areas in the Playground System now consist of Grogaus Field 4.7 acres, Drummond Field 5.0 acres, American Legion Bathing Beach 1.4 acres, Waverley Playground 4.7 acres, ~plin Play- ground 1.5 acres, a total of 17.~ acres. All the playing areas were m~dntained as usus~. The baseball dism~nd at Grogans Field was entirely renovated for use by the Junior League and .a semi-professional team. The Little Les~ue and Farm Team diamonds were rebuilt at Waverley Playground. Two twilight leagues used Drummond Field for softball g~nes. Six see-saws and two basketbal 1 standards were set up at Aplin Playground under Article 70. Hot top basketball courts were placed at Grogans Field~ Waverley Playground, Drummond Field and Aplin Playground by M. Heffron and Sons of Lawrence, the low bidder under Article 64. A chain link fence was plased on the Johnson Street side of Drummond Playground by department employees. A steel pier was placed at the American Legion Beach under ~rticle 65. A separate entrance to the life guards room and first aid room was built at the bath house. A new boat for the life guards was provided.

We spray three times for the European Bark Beetle that carries Dutch Elm Disease--one dormant spray and two foilage. This is done with a mist blower using 12 per cent D.D.T. on dormant, 6 per cent on foilage. A smad_l hydraulic pump is used for spraying Tent Caterpillar. feeding on Wild Cherry and Apple trees. Poison ivy spraying was done on streets and private property that was badly infested. There was a bad Fall Web Worm infestation along the Merrimack River and Sutton Ashland and Riverview Streets. We will spray this area next year to try and stop this Pest from spreading. Spraying was done on private property in the amount of $144.55. DUTCH EL~ DISEASE This year~ 137 "suspect sables" were sent to the University of Massachusetts Shade Tree Laboratory to be cultured. Of this number~ 125 of the s~mTles had Dutch Elm Disease. ~ but 12 of these trees have been taken down and burned. Also, SO beetle infested Elm trees have been taken down. Some of these trees were so diseased and dangerous they had to be taken down by means of a crane. The Town Treasurer received $389.00 for the r~mnval of Dutch Elm Diseased trees from private property. The annual report from the Shade Tree Laboratory as of January 1, 1959 is as follows: Dutch Elm Diseased Trees North Andove r 123 Essex County (3~ towns) 5,878 Total for State (19~l - 1958) 71,917 TREE DEPARTMENT This year in this department, we removed 54 dead street trees; 30 Elm% 10 posted for hearing and 14 others. 121 The storm of January 8, 1958 did much damage to Birch and small Oak trees on the haiti-ow country roads, and, ss a result, a large number had to be cut down. The effects of the 195h Eurricaae were shown, as we removed a great deal of dead wood in Maple trees. The usual shaping, t~mming, cabling, and low-br~nch removal was done. Eighty-five new trees were planted. The work in the Town Forest consisted of tricing and release cutting of the Red Pines. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CONNORS Tree warden 122 H~dAY D~P~ R~Ol~ The placing of the sand boxes at various dangerous intersections for a number of years has helped n~ motorists and the public has been most cooperative in spra~t~ng the sand when it was needed. As in previous years, ice on roads and sidewal~s required a considerable m, ount of sand and salt and many extra hours of continuous s~aut~g to llelp avoid accidents. Streets were plowed of the snow am soo~ as any aco,~m,1 ation had settled. Entrances to al l public buildings, churches and stores were cleared of snow and sanded. Enow equipment was repaired and replaced if needed, and snow fences placed in sections of the town a~d then r~noved in the Spring.

The wires were re- paired mob faster because of the availability of climbers. We have also added Master Fire Alam Box 412 located at the new Franklin Elementary School. This year we have cha~ged Boxes 53,63,64,65,68, and 67 fr~ the old obsolete type to the mew non-interfering type. RECC$S~DATIC~S We would like to rec,,~,--d to the Board-of Selecl~nen, and to the townspeople the adoption of the National Building Code (abbreviated edition. ) Along with the adoption of the building code, the adoption of the National Fire Prevention Code (abbreviated edition.) At the present time, our building code is outdated, a~d the town has no Fire Prevantion Code whatsoever. Reopectl~xl ly submitted~ JAMES P. DAW EDWIN F. KO~IG CALVIN R. SNELL Board of Fire En$ineers The year 1958 opene~ with an anticipated decrease in our yearly budget in the amount of $10,500.00. The a~propriations were ~te accordingly and we were very fortunate in being able to fulfill our e~0ec tations. The above decrease in the ~ppropriations was due to additional &valla~le reimbursements a~d to new resources v..~e available to our recipients through our efforts. It should be clearly understood that the ~.~unt of assistance is given on the basis of need, according to the 8t&te Standards of Assistance, and it should not be inferred that any eligible needy recipient was deprived of any assistance due to this decrease. The only assistance prog~ in which there were additional costs this year was the category of Disability Assistance. In the past, disabled persons were norm~l ly provided for through General Relief. In the majority of this type of case, rehabilitation is a prL~-ry factor and the methods used quite often renders these persons able to obtain gainful ~loyment, after some tra~-ing. Under the Old Age Assistance program, there were increases given for nursing hame care and a fuel allowance increase was given on a seasonal basis rather than a standard year round basis. In October of 1958, it was finally voted to have a Housing Program for the elderly of the town. This will be very beneficial to a number of our Old Age A~sistance recipients and all are anxious- 1~ awaiting its completion. This program is ,~-~er the direction of the Housing Authority and its purpose is to provide adequate, low rent housing for elderly persons who meet the eligibility require- ments. Old Age Assistance recipients will be eligible to m~ke application for these accommodations. However, the Housing Authority will have the Jurisdiction to make the final decision as to what persons will be eligible for these accomm~3dations. There was a marked increase in Social Service cases this year. These are persons who feel the need for advice and counsel regarding relatives, f~m~ ly and other various Social problems. These cases do not need, nor do they want financial aid, rather, they need understanding and help with their specific social problem. Respectfully Submitted, GEORGE P.

Biologic and Diagnostic Kits are available to physicians on a twenty-four hour basis. Routine inspections were m~te of Boarding and Nursing Homes for the Aged, Boarding Homes for Tn~asts, Day Care Centers, Food Estab- lishments, p],,mbing and Sub-surface disposal systems. Licenses~ Permits and approval applications were all processed. A sa~tary survey of eating establishments was conducted in Dec~mber by two specialists. Their report rscon~ended regular in- spections of this type and an educational pro~z~m for operators and employees. Because of the cost~ this program is prohibitive at this time. New'Rules and Regulations for Eating EstabLishments' were adopted and will be printed and ready for distribution soon. The feasibility of a dental clinic for school children is presently being considered.

MASSACHUSETTS LIBRARY FILM COOPERATIVE We have just finished the fourth year of the public library film cooperative. ?0 films have had 132 showings with a total attendance of $,743. This includes fi]_~s from the Canadian Travel Film Library from whom the library receives nine films a year. Residents of North Andover are reminded that this is a free service offered by the library to organizations of the community. CHILDREN'S ROOM ACT1W'ITIES and WORK WITH SCHOOLS Because of a decrease in the n~mber of children attending the monthly showing of films on the third Saturday morning of each '~onth and the increasing interest of both pre-school and school children in the story hours, Mrs. Foeman, the childrenls librarian, decided to give up monthly film programs and to have a weekly story hour each week the schools are in session. There is a story hour for pre-school children each Wednesday morning and one for school children Wednesday afternoons. The new plan seems to work well. Films are combined with stories when suitable ones can be secured. Attendance during the year was as follows: Pre-school story hours Regular story hours ~37 Film programs (January-~',~y) The Children's Librarian nade school visits to seventy-eight rooms during the school year to talk to the boys and girls about libra~/ services and to give book talks. lb2 boys and girls successfully conpleted the Vacation Reading Club progr~ havinE read nine books in nine weeks. Children of the second, third, and fourth grades of the Bradstreet School visited the Childrenls Room with their teachers. Pupils of the seventh and eighth grades from the Thomson School cane to the library to have a lesson on the arrangement of books on the -shelw~s; the use of the card catalog; and a few of the most useful reference books. NATIONAL LIBRA~qY %~EK One of the major activities of the library was participation in the local observance of National Library Week with the Rev. Clinton W. Carvell as Chairman. Thirty-three representative people of the community served as a committee. Stress was laid on the importance of reading in our lives and on the services which a library can offer to rake information available to all. It was urged that individuals build up their own persbnal libraries and as an aid to this, Robert S. Rockwell, Chairman of Exhibits~ com- piled with the help of the library staff, a list of books to read and to own. Exhibits of books on various subjects were placed in three banks, an insurance office~ a drug store, a recreation center and a kindergarten. The librarian was honored with a. public dinner, given by friends of the library and a substantial sum of money was given to her in recognition of her thirty years of service. A poster con- test in which school children participated created an interest ~mong many of the townspeople. STAFF ACTIVITIES Mrs. Forman and Miss Batchelder attended sessions of the New England Library Associatinn in Swampscott; Mrs. King and Miss Batchelder attended the mid-winter meeting of the Massachu- setts Library Association in Boston; Mrs. Forman took part in the fall meeting of the Merrimack Valley Library Association and Miss Batchelder attended both spring and fall meetings of the Merrimack Valley Library Association. ihe retired as President in May but is now a member of the Executive Board. All full-time staff members have given book talks before community organizations when there have been requests. REGIONAL BOOKMOBILE SERVICE The bookmobile, operating out of the State Regional Library Center in North Reading, and serving twenty, six towns, has visited our library approximately every three weeks. We borrow from 50-60 books at each visit and in turn circulate the books to our borrow- ers. Since October 1st, an exact count has been made of the number of times each book has been borrowed. During the last three months 255 books have been circulated from the childrents roOm and 448 have been issued from the adult department. Our borrowers are glad to have these books which supplement our own collection. Respectfm,1 ly submitted ~ MARION F. BATC~r~3.BER, Librarian In the foregoing report of the librarian it is sho~m how effectively the library is meeting the greater demands ~de upon it by a rapidly growing and increasingly enlightened and discrim- inating public. For the able response to these demands the trustees and the towm are indebted to Miss Marion F. Batchelder, the librarian, and her competent staff. That it is possible for the town to be provided with this ex- cellent service is owing to the fortunate combination of the support of the townspeople in making the annual .appropriation requested, and the generosity of the many individuals who have contributed funds to the trustees for library purposes. Notable among such contribu- tions was the bequest in 1958 of $25,000.00 from Mr. Abbot Stevens. This gift was one of the largest the library has ever received, equalled only by the Nathaniel and Elizabeth P. Stevens Foundation Fund received in 1947. Such liberality enabled us in 1958 to attack a recurring trouble with rotting timbers under the basement floor. This was corrected by new masonry and flooring and provisions for ventilation in the affected area. We were also able to install two ranges of book- shelves in the room on the third floor. These projects were cared for without the necessity of asking for any appropriation from the town for these purposes. Unlike many memorial libraries', established early in the cen- tury our institution continues to receive the generous support of the ~escendants of the founders, Mr. and Mrs. Moses T. Stevens; and the trustees on behalf of the townspeople, are always aware of the many expenses for maintenance~ new equipment, and innumerable books that are met without cost to the taxpayers owing to the Elizabeth P. Stevens Fund; the Nathaniel and Elizabeth P. Stevens Foundation ~h~nd; the Moses T. Stevens, Jr., funds; the Dale Stevens Memorial Fund; and the Mary Osgood Stevens Tyler Fund. Other families have also shared this interest in improved library service for the town. As a result, many of our current books bear on their bookplates an engraved ~ox~rai~ of Charles ~hitney Davis who died at the age of 16. ThSse books are purchased from the income of the large fund established in his memory in 1920 by his parents Mr. and Mrs. George G. Davis. Mar~ other books for young people are purchased from the fund established by Miss Sarah Phelps in 1937 in memory of her aunt and uncle, G. W. and R. E. Berrian. There are also the Anne Bradstreet Fund a~ the Special Gifts Fund to which man~ persons have contributed, and for our first fund, the Phillips Fund, we are indebted to Lieutenant Governor Samuel Phillips, whose provisions made in 1801 are administered by the trustees of Phillips Academy. Having looked back upon another year of growth and progress, we now turn towards the future with plans for further improvement and with gratitude to our fellow townspeople for their encourage- ment and support.

OSG00D ANNUAL NORTH ANDOVER u~'~'ICE (~ CIVIL D~ENSE The year 1958 has resulted in great strides toward a condition of operational rea~fness with the completion of assl~ments of municipal employees and officials to staff and department positions in Civil Defense in accordance with Federal and State law, a~d the publication of Municipal Operations and Survival Plan. A copy of this plan is available at Stevens Memorial Library for any citizen to peruse. The p~an provides a mauual of operating responsibility~ assign- ments and methods~ together with detailed planning information which will enable all responsible elements of the Civil Defense Organiza- tion to refer to a specific authoratative document to implement their planning. well over one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in usable properties was allocated to the co~nity during the year, although our operating budget is the modest sum of $2,~O0.00. Comprehensive training efforts have been stepped up, and will be more so in the coming year, in order to provide the highest degree of understanding and readiness on the part of all persons concerned. Recent Federal legislation has increased the intensity of demands upon this office, and Directors are now exsmined by periodic e×~m~nations. Directors will be required to meet professional standards of performance and knowledge of the law, operational methods~ and -~m~uistrative procedures of a very exacting level. In progress is the adaptation of a U. S. Army Duck (obtained at a cost of $100.00) into a pumper fire and rescue vehicle. The unit will have a 500 gallon per minute pump~ feeding a deluge gun and will have two flood lights. This will provide the town with a piece of fire apparatus, adaptable for rescue work, at about lO~ of what it would cost to buy such a unit, and incidentally with an smphibious capability enabling it to fight fire anywhere even in flooded areas or around the lakes and ponds. This is offered as a typical example. Much literature relative to Civil Defense is available at the Town Clerk's Office for those who are interested and the Public In- formation Officer of Civil Defense(Town Clerk) may be contacted for ir~formation on weekdays and Monday evenings by calling MU-26521. All questions or problems will be answered or referred to appropriate authority for an answer or action as the situation demands. Respectfully submitted, DEWEY A. DYER, Director, Civil Defense PLANNING BOARD TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER~MASS. The Planning Board held eighteen meetings during the year 1958. Public Hearings were held on three applications for approval under the Sub-division Control Law. One application was granted and two were denied. A Public Hearing was held on amendments to the Zoning By-Law. During the year the Planning Board met with various Town Officials along with John T. Blackwell, Planning Consultsat, to revise the Building Code and Zoning and Street Maps. New Zoning By-Laws have been printed.

BUP~E Associate Members: AIFRED BOEGLIN T~F~ T.Vm ~VI CHARLES FO~I'~ 154 REPORT OF TNE PERSONNEL BOAED Throughout the year 1958 the Personnel Board held 27 meetings at which a~ ~ members or a majority of the board w~re present. Sixteen smemdments, along with recommendations for each, were compiled by the board and e~tered into the Warrant for 1958 Annual Town Meeting. With one exception, a~ 1 the ~endments received favorable action by the Town. Such action served to eltmlnate many injustices in the original plan. Since the By-Law was in its infancy and the time element was 1 imlted to the closing date of the warrant, the majority of the amendments effected only Schedules "A" and '~" of the plan. D~e to this lack of timm, inequities appearing 111 Schedule "C% Fringe Benefits, had to be by-passed for the year 1958. Following town meeting, the Personnel Board devoted considerable time studying the provisions under Fringe Benefits which became effective January 1 1958. It was noted the greatest concern within the departments was in respect to the provision for "~.ual leave". We felt the schedule was contraddctory to the intent and purpose of the By-Law which was to establish a uniform policy for town ~,ployees. We then endeavored to devise a sched~_le to conform with this purpose. ~a~ter holding a public hearing on our proposed s~e-~m~at the board voted to recommend' to annual town meeting an smendment to the vacation schedule in the plan o Petitions for s~ditional amendments to the By-Law were present- ed the board at the public hearing. After due consideration of the petitions the board voted to recommend to ~,,~al town meeting a 5% cost of living increase be gz~nted ~.~.loyees governed by the Wage and Salary Administration Plan. ~nis increase to be over and above base salary rates which w~uld remain the same. Under the By-Law it is the duty of the Personnel Board to reco~ to the Town a~y action it de~m~ advisable and necessary in order to ~intain a fair, equitable p~y level mad compensation policy. The By-Law, as s~e~lded~ was typed, m~meogr~phed and compiled as a loose-leef brochure at considerable savings to the town. Such form will not requir~ co~lete reprints of the By-Law due to s~n~- merits to the plan. A page or pages ma~ be inserted or deleted as necessary~ providing the town with an up-to-dmte By-Law at aJ_l times. In the course of the year the Personnel Board met with depart- ment heads to discuss wage probl-m~, pA~posed ~mendments to the plan and review Job descriptions. A consultation was held with ~,,~er D. Charm, Analyst and author of the plan, on matters of interpretation concerning the By- Law and proposed ~me~dments thereto. It was the unanimous feeling of this board that information of considerable value was derived at this meeting. Personal record files and vacation and sick leave calendars were established and put into effect this year by the board. The boa~ is cu~ntly engaged in studying methods of reducin~ the ~5 hour work week in the Board of Public Works and Tree Depart- ment to ~0 hours as recomm~uded in the preemble to the plan. The North Audover Personnel Board became a m~mber of the M~ssachusetts Association of Personnel Boaa~ls. Through the Associa- tion we are able to keep in contact with personnel policies practic- ed by other towns and cities in the state. This proves to be a fair and worthwhile comparison upon which the Town of North Audover can base its personnel practices. D~e to pressure of additional duties connected with his own e~loyment, Mr. ~ichard G. Hs.ltma~er, second chalrm~u of the boaxd whose valued assistance contributed greatly to the success of the plan, offered his resi/~aation to the Board of Selectman, effective immediately following ~ual town meeting. The Boamxl of Selectm~n appointed Mr. Roland C. Korb to fill the vacancy. The Personnel Board then elected.Mr. John B. Corrigan as its new chairm~n. The boa~ wishes to tb~uk the Board of Selectmen, officials and department heads for the fine cooperation given the Personnel Board in the yea~ of 1958. Respecti~,l ly submitted, JOHN B.

Many conferences were held with other cities and towns Housing Board members, members of the Board of Health, and various State Housing representatives in which the problems arising out of a program for "Housing for the Elderly% and also Veterans HousLug, were discussed with many suggestions being recorded for future reference. Also, the Chair- man called ample open meetings with the m~mbers of the public in order that the residents could express their views regarding this project. The Board, in turn~ explained the necessity of such a project, discussed where it could be located, how it could be financed, etc. The Board then went before Town Meeting with an article regarding the building of such a project and were almost unanimously supported by the members of the town present, at the meeting. The Board then tur~ed their attention to the probable site and the close of the year found them meeting with State Repre- sentatives discussing where the project c~uld be located. The Board also found time to make periodic visits to the Veterans Housing project m~ing inspections of the buildings and considering what repairs should be made. Several fuel drums were replaced, many apartments were re-decorated, and other unsatisfactory conditions remedied maintaining the excellent condition of the buildings and the apaz~ments. During the year there were three tenants that moved to other living quarters, because of the necessity of larger quarters and because of being employed outside the Conm~nwealth of Massachusetts. The Boa_rd, in each instance however~ quickly arranged to have the apaa~ent leased allowing as little loss of income ~o the Housing Authority as possible. This is shown by the fact that while the project houses twenty-four units~ the approximate yearly occupancy was a high 23.83 average. Also, the Board adopted the State Housing Board's recon~endation of basing income to the Authority on an average rental of $~h. O0 per unit. During the year the Board voted and paid to the Town of North Andover $86~.00 in lieu of taxes as it has in prior years. The following management program, adopted in the fiscal year of 1957, was maintained during the presen~ fiscal year: Rents charged shall bear the following relationship to the tenant ' s net family income: 18~ for families with one or less minor dependents 163 16~ for f~f lies with two minor dependents 145 for f~lies with three or more minor dependents $200.00 deduction from total f~,f ly income for each minor child in excess for three in n~,m~er Applicants sha~l be -~mftted to tenancy in the project only if their net annual incomes are below the established income a~ ssion limits: Families with one or less minor dependents $3,950.00 Families with two muinor dependents 4,150.00 Families with three or more minor dependents 4,350.00 Tenants who have been ~tm~tted within the abqve ]~m~ts will be considered ineligible for continued occup~ucy when their in- comes sball h~ve exceed the following l~mJts for such con- tinued occupancy. These tenants shall be required to move from the project: F~milies with one or less minor dependents F~m~lies with two minor dependents 4,600.00 F~m~lies with three or more minor dependents 4,800.00 The close of the year found the Board planning the repair, painting, and z=puttying of windows in the project that needed attention. Also, the Board had advertised for bids pertaining to the installation of Al,~m~num Storm Windows and Al,,mt~num Doors, such work to be completed in the coming year. Raving the exterior of the buildings painted, the instal ling of the Storm Windows and Doors, and the "Housing for the Elderly" are but a few of the problems facing the North Andover Housing A~thority in the new year.

FRANK D ASHBURN, Chadrman FRED C. ATKINSON MRS. TOM F. INGRAM WILLT~ F. ROCK MRS. DEAN ROSS 166 1958 .kWN-OA.L REPOBT C~ ~ SUPERINTi~NDENT oF SCHOOLS Members of the School Committee: It is my pleasure to present to you my second z~nual report, the 10hth in a continuous series of Annual Reports, and the 63rd prepared by the Superintendent of the North Andover Public Schools. Continuing the pattern which was established last year, this report will present first a review of growth and development in the areas of curriculum, staff, ~nd plant; second, a review of the cost of operating the Public Schools; and third, it will set forth the issues sndproblems which provide the challenges for improvement in our schools in the year shead. CURRICULUM This has been an exciting year for cux-,-iculum study because our whole country hasbeeneoueeraed to see ~11 schools improve their services to youth. We feel that significant strides ahead have been made in our own system and it is gratifying to reDort that pupils, teachers~ and ~ministrators have worked cooperatively on several new projects. Reading: A devoted committee of elementary school teachers made a careful study and analysis of our basic reading system together with the several textbooks used in its operation. Their investi- gation led to the recommendation that a uniform basic reading text- book series be adopted. The School C~m,,fttee ~sproved this sugges- tion and designated the Ginn Reading Series as the uniform adoption for Grades one through six. Following up on plans which were made l~st year, a new remedial-developmental reading service wa~ inaugurated in September. Under the direction of our remedial reading ~pecialist, teachers and pupils are working hard for planned growth in the vital skill of reading. Emphasis is being placed upon correcting pupil de- ficiencies in auditory and visual discr~m~uation because weaknesses in these skills hinder progress in the rate and cnmprehension of materials read. The part that the phonetic approach to word study must pl~y in learning to read and spell has been carefully ree~mlued. It is fair to say that our approach to reading is a synthesis of the best in several reading methods. DriLl in reading skill~ aD&l tech- niques are essential parts of each day's lesson. Teacher-made games and devices are helping each child to ,mlock the meaning of words 0 Another part of this sk')ll building program introduces the use of machine helpers, the tachistoscope and the controlled reader, as devices which are useful in helping the pupil to imprc~e his rate Qf speed and his comprehension in reading. We sincerely believe that we are on the threshold of an era of marked improvement in the achievement of our pupils in reading. Such a program, is long-range in nature, of course, and results are not always immediately apparent. We shall be measuring pupil ac- complishment in this important skill in each successive year; if · our program is meeting the need we may expect to see steady and constant growth in group and individual scores. Science: In SePtember, Grades ? and 8 began an organized program o--~ruction in science. The elementary school teachers who are teaching in this field have worked in close cooperation with the high school science specialists in order to achieve some degree of correlation between the two programs. Work is still going on through a careful study of the elementary and secondary school total science program. We hope to have, eventually, a coordinated science curriculum that will meet the needs of al/ pupils. The enthusiastic response of our seventh and eighth grade pupils tc regular instruction in science has been tremendously en- couraging. Many boys and girls have demonstrated potential talents in science and from these youngsters our future scientists could well be drawn. Our next step is to prepare and begin a program in science for the earlier grades. Foreign Language In September, a selected group of fifth-grade pupils began a new program in aural-oral ~Tench. Pupils who are enrolled in the special French classes were selected on the basis of their high achievement level in their regular work, their capacity for learn- ing, their teachers' recommendations, and their own willingness to add additi0oml work to an already busy schedule. This course, taught durir~ two 3e-minute periods each week in each elementary school, marks the begirnaing of a concerted effort to improve the foreign language skills of mmny cf our youngsters. Our teacher, drafted part-time from the high school staff, has done a masterful job in stimulating the interest and devel- oping the skill of her pupils. Speaking only in French, intel- ligent cor~unication between pupils and teacher was 'established early and develcps daily in the class. We ar~ encouraged to continue to offer this program to pupils with high capacity for learning and substantial achievement in school. We are agreed that the course can be and is a stimulus to the able youngster. Through it and other opportunities, we provide a new challenge for talented children to work nearer to their capac- ity. In November, eighteen carelh~Uly selected High School Freshmen began a new course in the Russian language. The planning for this program stretched over many months and mar~ questions concerning it had to be answered before it was finally decided to make it available to our students. The School Committee and administration of our Public Schools, keenly aware of the rapidly changing world in which we live, believed that even a ldmited knowledge of Russian might become extremely valuable to some of our able young people in~ the years ahead. Based on this premise, we proceeded with plans for the new course in the Russian language. It was decided to make this program available to a selected group of students at the ninth-grade level, which in turn would make it possible for these boys and girls to have four years of instruc- tion in the language by the time they were ready for graduation from High School. It was agreed that the course would be offered in ad- dition to all other regular high-school requirements; in this first year it was not to be a substitute for any other part of a student's program. Potential candidates for the course were chosen on the basis of their past high achievement level in thei~ school work, their high level of ability, their teachers' estimates of their potential in this course, and their own enthusiasm for a demanding academic program. Whenever these basic criteria were met, it then became necessary for the parents to give their permission if the student was to be considered for enrollment in the course. As a result of this screening, eighteen boys and girls in the ninth grade were selected to begin the course. Mr. Rene Champollion, on the staff of the Brooks School in North Andover, conducts the course in Russian at North Andover High School. He has been most enthusiastic about the response he has received from the youngsters who are studying with him. Testiu$ A standardized achievement testing program is now a part of our elementary school curriculum. Tests in reading, arithmeticj science, social studies, and other allied skills are used and our results are cempared to national and regional standards. 169 Two significant uses are found for the test results: first, the several scores, presented in profile form, become an invalu- able aid in guiding individual pupils; and second, the collective scores, analyzed by skill areas, point to strengths and weaknesses in the curriculum. Each teacher may use the test scores to guide the child in overcoming areas of weakness in his learning to date, and to help him to capitalize on his strengths. Parents are brought in for consultation and often it is possible for pupil,-parent, and teacher to agree on a unified program of action that can be extreme- ty helpful to all. Through the preparation of range studies on the various parts of the test and through comparison studies of ability and achieve- ment, the teacher gets a clearer picture of the potential of his class, as well. as of the individuals'in it. We feel that this knowledge can onlyresult in an improved teacher-p~pil learning experience and thus is the work of the school made more meaningful. The cumulative value of the results of the testing program are significant. Aseach child is tested year after year a clear picture of his progress begins to emerge. Over and under achievers ~re pinpointed and helped through appropriate counseling. Areas of interest and special sk~s begin to emerge on the profiles and each youngster can be shown his potential in respect to these. By the time the pupil is ready for high school his cumulative record should he helpful to him as he plans his program for the next four years. We are enthusiastic about the use to which we can put Bur standardized test results; we look forward to their increasing. value to us as an educational tool in our schools. Lom~er School D~y The school day was lengthened in September. The elementary schools now begin at 8:15 A.M. and close at 2:30 P.M. The high school begins at 8:10 A.M. and closes at 2:30 P.M., an increase of 30 minutes in the high school day. Further consideration needs to be given to the length of the school day and the length of the school year. It is impossible to add more to the curriculum without either sacrificing important functions or increasing the time available for a revised program. The total staff of our Public Schools grows in size as we keep pace with our increasing enroliments and expanded services. 170 On September 1st, we had 73 teachers, supervisors, and admin- istrators, 3 secretaries, the school doctor and nurse, seven cus- todians, 14 cafeteria workers, and 6 noon attendants for a total of 105. A complete list of persormel changes and a roster of school employees will be found elsewhere in this report. The suggestion was made in last year's report that the School Committee might wish to reexamine our teachers' salary schedule, particularly with reference to the adequacy of our established maximum salaries. The Committee spent many hours in study of this problem.. It received and considered a report and a request from the North Andover Teachers' Association for a substantial increase ~-n the stated maximum salaries. The School Committee was unanimous in its belief that higher maximum salaries were necessary in order' to attract and keep able teachers on the staff. It was equally firm in its conviction that the full impact of a revized ma~imum schedule should not come in any one year. The new salary schedule as finally adopted by the Committee is as follows: Bachelor's Masterts De~ Desree Minimum $3,800.00 $4,OOO.OO Maximum 6,000.00 6,400.00 No changes were made in the minimum salary amounts ~ud it m~ll take three years for the new maxima to be fully effective. Only those teachers who by reason of training and experience are now entitled to maximum salary, and who w~11 continue to be so eligible under the new schedule, are to receive the first step toward the new maxima. The normal annual increment of $200.00 for satisfactory service in our schools remains unchanged. Under the new sche~xle a teacher may progress from minimum to maxinum salary in the bachelor's degree category in 12 years, in the master's degree category in 13 years. With the establishment of the new scale, the School Committee made it very clear that it now considered the schedule wholly ade- quate for the times and in our competitive market for teachers. The Ca~.~nittee believes, and the Teachers' Association concurs in this belief, that increases beyond presently established maxima should be on the basis of meritorious perfonuauce in our schools. A committee from the Teachcrs~ Association is now working on a report whichwillbe submitte~ to the School C~m~,~ttee in wbich 171 suggested plans a~l procedures for a merit salary schedule will be set forth. It is gratifying to report that many members of our staff are carrying out progr~m~ of advanced study. Four teachers c~plet- ed work on their m~-~ter's degree during the s~nmer, several more were enrolled in s,s,~er achools~ workshops and institutes, and three received scholarships for further study in science and economics. These e~oeriences ar~ resulting in improved teaching skills and abilities which reflect directly on better teacher-pupil relation- ships in the classroom The a~m~uistr~tion, with the cooperation of the Teachers' Association, is prepa~ing a proposed professional improvement pro- vision for inclusion in the present salary schedule. This suggested requirement would make continued progress on the basic salary schedule dependent in part upon continuing professional in~orovement by every teacher. It is felt that such a clause in the salary schedule helps to assure continuous growth by our staff with its implied potential for better services to our young people. PLANT Franklin School opened on schedule in September even though much of the furniture and equipment had not arrived. Pupils aud staff cheerfully endured makeshift conditions for several weeks. When all the classroom equipment was finally in place everyone was able to ~ppreciate this beautiful and comfortable building. Franklin School certainly ranks high on the list of our excellent school buildings. The eight regular classrooms together with the smaller remedial classroom have made it possible to remove the extra sections of certain grades that ~ere housed temporarily in Kittredge and Thomson Schools. New district lines were established and the re- sulting shifts in school assignments were effected with reasonable smoothness. We a~e grateful for the understanding and cooperation which the great majority of parents gave us in this difficult task. It is somewhat startling to realize that even with the new Franklin School in full operation we still have several classes in some buildings which are approaching, or are already over, the 40- pupil mark in size. Of course, this clearly points up our expand- ing enrollment and foretells the need for more school space. Carrying out the newly established maintenance policy of the School Committee, the Bradstreet School was painted and repair- ed on the outside and painted on the inside. It is proposed that each year one shcool be refu~oished as is necessary in order that all schools may be kept at peak operating efficiency. In keeping with the newly established rotation plan for building maintenance, the Thc~son School has been exten- sively examined by specialists in order to determine the best recommended procedure for co~-i~cting the extensive water d~nage caused by leaking walls ~ud coping. This building has been leaking for some time and the interior deterioration of wood and plaster has reached alarming proportions. Careful estimates by experts in the field have in- dicated that it will cost SBO,OOO to repair the building. This estimate is broken down as follows: Waterproofing by mask and grout method $18,900 Roofing 2~ 800 Wood pls~k for roof coping 500 Removing stone 100 Fireproofing plenums 1,000 Electrical work including con- necting fire alarm to central system Allowance for ptans~' specifications, etc. 5OOO 1~ 7oo $ Bo, ooo The School Cozm~ittee will have specifications drawn and will secure bids for the repair of the Thomson School during 1959. No attempt will be made to redeco~te the in- terior at this time as the leaking condition must be correct- ed and the rewiring coz~leted first. ~ report on our plant must necessarily concern it- self with future plant needs. Our present enrollment (detail- ed elsewhere in this report) begins to tax the present c~pacity of our building. Our high school population will increase in the years ~head to the point where additional space w~ill be imperative. (For a detailed analysis of the prediction see the report of the high school principal.) Continued growth of the Town will inevitably result in the need for more space in our elementary schools. 173 The Building Cw.~,Littee and the School Committee are studying future needs very carefully. At the moment it would seem that fairly immediate additional space requirements could be 'most economically provided by additions to existing buildings rather than by the erection of entirely new school plants. Three schools offer such expansion possibilities: the High School, Kittredge School, Franklin School. Anticipating the possibility of additions to these buildLu~s, the two C~,~,~tttees will Jointly sponsor articles in the warrant for the 1959 Annual Town Meeting asking that the T°wn vote to acquire, or reserve, additional land adjacent to each of the three present sites in order to provide for ex- pansion of school facilities. A continuing and exhaustive study of population and enrollment statistics must be made by all concerned with school housing. Full ir~formation mhould be presented in timely fashion to the Town in order that constr~ctive steps may be taken to meet anticipated needs. The safety of all who use our school buildings is of param~mut importance. _~igid requirements on cleanliness and order insure that no accumulation of debris can become an unforeseen fire hazard. Periodic fire drills are carried out under the jurisdiction of the school principals. These drills are used to teach all occupants the quickest and safest way out of each building mnder emergency conditions. Full co- operation is received fron our Fire Department which conducts an annual investigation.of each building and during which all safety devices and conditions are inspected. Fire drills are conducted by the Fire Department and reports are made to the School CoK~ibtee. The Building Inspector for the Massachusetts Department of Public Sa£ety ex,.mines each b~ding and issues certificates which attest to his approval of the existing conditions. ~.~'ith constant vigilance by every staff member and with a planned program of safety education, we seek to provide a safe environment ~or every child in our school build Lug s. COST OF OPE~ATION The school budget for 1958 was entirely adeq~mate for the operation of our schools. In fact $12,111.12was returned to the Town treasury from our salary appropriation because it was not possible to provide for the specialists in guidance and other areas that had been planned for oFiginally. During the year 1958 we made application for Federal Aid under Public Law 874 which provides funds for co~]nitias which have three pe~ cent of the school population with a parent, or parents, working on federally owued property. As a result of a ~*stem-:~*_de questionnaire to parents, the requisite number of parents were found who worked on eligible properties in this area. The association for aid was approved in Massachusetts and >Tashington'and we received $ 4,364.36. This money is to be spent as the School Co~ittee directs for the benefit of the Public Schools. We hope to remain eligible for a continuation of this Federal ~apport for the year ahead. In 19~8, and for the first time, fo~.~al application was also made for State reimbursement for school transportation. This request %~s also approved and ~;?,496.?? was returned to the Town treasury. As this report is being written plans are being mmde which we hope %~ill qualify us for assistance under applicable titles of th'~~ ~.~:~nal Defense Education Act cf 1958. This act requires matching funds by co~ittees and a modest amount is included in our budget for this purpose. Often overlooked and many times possibly misunderstood is the fact that the net cost of operating the schools is sub- stantially less that'-the amount requested in the annual budget. ?;ery year the To;*n receives large sums of money from_ many sources to help defray operating costs. The actual receipts for 195~, toEcther with the estimated receipts for 1959, are sho~,n in the foll~.r'lng table: 1958 1959 Receipts Receipts ~tate Aid for Public Schools $74,21~.9~ $82,1~.9~ State Aid for ~peci~l Class 3,1~2.25 3,100.00 State Aid for Local Tr-~. 7~96.77 7,000.00 .S~ate Aid for Vocational Schools 1,103.70 900.00 State A~ for Transportation to Vocational Schools ~1.89 62.00 Rental of Facilities 680.00 500.00 ~le of Supplies 153.~9 150.00 Tultion~: Boxfoxd 22,~3.24 13,462.82 Audover 96.36 .....

From these figures it may be seen that although the To~m appropriated $491,056 in March, 1958, the actual receipt by the Town of $122,431.41 during 1958 resulted in a net cost for all public schools of $368,624.59 for 1958. Using t--~e same procedure for 1959, we find that the budget request of $593,973 will be reduced by estimated receipts of $107~329.75, so that the probable net cost of our Public Schools for 1959 will be $486,643.25. Our gross cost per pupil in 1958 was $288.02, which compares most favorable with the State average of $309.64. The budget for 1959 ref!ects the need for increased funds for larger enrollments, a full year's operation of the new Franklin School, a larger Staff, and equipment. The School Committee and the staff have given careful consideration to every proposed expenditure. Many have been reduced from requested amounts, some have been eliminated completely. Approximately 30% of the budget increase for 1959 over 1958 consists of one item: a major repair to the Thomson School. The need for and extent of this work has been described under a previous section of this report. The budget as finally adopted by the School Committee includes the funds needed to operate our growing school system at an econemically efficient level. The details of the budget, together with an estimate of probable receipts from all sources for the schools is included as an appendi~ to this report. A LJOK TO T~ YJTUPJ~ The Public School Kindergarten has been a subject of great interest to many' people in No:~h Andover for a considerable period of time. The sa~e issue has been studied carefully by the School Co~ittes as it reviewed all the factors in favor or against the establishment of a kindergarten in the Public Schools. There seems to be little doubt that a well organized and well operated F~blic School Kiudergarten becor~es an ~portant part of the total prcgrmu of early childhood education. Research studies and practical experience point conclusively to the important gains tb~t the child with kindergarten experience makes over the child who has no~ hmd_~ this advantage as both begin their grade-school e)~erience. A well plarmed readiness program operating as apart of a curriculum which includes opportunities for emotional and social development in the growing child cab only result in a more satisfactory adjustment to the school experience. The kinder- garten bridges the gap from the home to the school in a meaningful and helpful way. Many of the problems in connection with the establishment of a kindergarten in our schools are concerned with the mechanical aspects of the operation, others involve the present and future implications of the kindergarten on the total school progr&m. An estimate of the number of children who would attend a Public School Kindergarten is somewhat difficult to make. Based upon a consideration of present public and parochial first grade enrollments, together with a survey of the birth statistics for the past several years, it is reasonable to expect that 200 childrenm~gbt be eligible to attend the kindergarten. Using the two-session plan and providing for eight sections of 25 pupils each, it would be necessary to provide four spaces for the kindergarten. Two rooms at Thomson School and one rocm~ at Bradstreet School can be provided in our buildings There is a possibility that the fourth room would be available in Kittredge School, but it is more likely that a suitable space in some building other than a school will have to be found. There are several places in which adequate quarters might be set up and each of these would need to be studied by the Com- mittee for suitability. If the kindergarten were established now, any future building expanmion through additions to our present schools could provide for kindergarten spaces. Additional transportation would he necessary to provide for some kindergarten pupils. ~ny youngsters would be within easy walking distance of the schools, but others would need bus service. Our bus contracts call for minimum mileages per day and in several instances additional routes can be set up within the total mileage allotments. 177 Some extra service would be necessary, particularly at the end of the morning and the beginning of ~he afternoon sessions. Thc budget estimate included an extra su~ for extra transportation. Securing a competent staff and providing the ~terials, supplies and equipment necessary for the total cperaticn would be worked out if the kindergarten is organized. Having satisfied itself that a Public School Kindergarten makes a valid contribution to the total ~chool program, and feeling that the details of operation, although difficult to solve, can be worked out, a majority of the School Committee voted to proceed with the steps necessary to establish the kindergarten. Two approaches were open to the Co~ittee: first, include the necessary funds (approxLmately $20,000 for the first year) in the school budget and begin the kindergarten in September; and second, set up a special article in the warrant for the Anr~ual To~ Meeting requestin~ the voters to appropriate the necessary funds for the establishment of the kindergarten in September. ~he latter method was adopted by the Committee because it felt that this issue was one in which it would like to give the citizens an opportunity to participate. If the sentiment of the cormunity is for the establishnent of a kindergarten as e>~ressed by voting the appropriation, then the Committee will proceed forthwith with the establishment and operation cf it as a part m~ the ~ablic Schools. If the Town prefers not to establish the kindergarten, then the Committee wl~l abide by this decision at this tL,~e. High School Curriculum and Services Every facet of the High School curriculum is under constant review in order that we may ~m/<~ improvements whenever necessary. Our science and mathematics programs are being studied. We are workLng t~ard a revision in both areas that may result in four years of science and four years of mathematics for aLv..ost all of our ccllege-~ound students. Foreign language must be studied from the sm~e point-of-view. Y~ny more graduates should have had at least four years of a single language if they hope to achieve any degree of facility with the language. Guidance is bec~ing increasingly important as a service in the High School. Fuller use of test results as a guidance tool is essential tc intelligent choice by marzy students. Detailed and specific infor~,ation on curriculum choice, career choice, college entrance requirements, scholarships, and vocational oppcrtunities must be provided for our young people. Follow- up studies of graduates yield information that is invaluable for youngsters still in school. The guidance materials library increases in value as a source of ready reference when vocational and educational problems arise. To operate an adequate guidance service means that the right number of properly trained and experienced counsellors must be available. We ~re attempting to serve too many students with a limited staff. Consideration must soon be given to providing more assistance in this important service area. Elementary School Curriculum and Services One year ago the School Committee approved the establish- ment of a guidance service in our elementary schools. We were unable to attract a person ~ith the proper qualifications necesss~y to establish this important program so ~he search must continue for the coming year. The social studies and the arithmetic pregr~ms must be re- examined to discover their suitability to our present needs. In each area we hope to be able to suggest materials and methods that will properly complement a revised course of study in each. Increased attention must be given to the issue of home study at the elementary level. If we are to build adequate study habits, it is obvious that a planned program of in-and out-of-school study would be necessary to develop desirable skills. Careful consideration must be given to our school enti~ance- age regulations. We are substantially below State averages in this respect as we ad3nit children to our first grade if they are five years of age on April 1. The consensus among ~uthorities favors a later start in school, and many school systems have raised the entrance age to six years as of September 1. Adult Education The Greater Lawrence Area provides many fine opportunities for adult education and recreation. Our own conm~mity offers a2most no pregram~ however~ because it has been felt that it was easy for our residents to take advantage of organized work else- where. Perhaps the Town is large enough and perhmps there is interest enough among our people to explore the possibility of offering an adult education and recreation program of our own. Certainly we have fine school f~eilities which can be utilized~ and the School Ccmmtittee is very much interested in the potential development of a useful adult prog~.~-a. It only remains to see if 179 there is sufficient demand for such a service. School Publication A new publication, "Inside North Andover Schools~" cs~e into being during the yea~. This p~per~ published four times a year, is distributed by mail to all residents in the To~n. The purpose of the publication is to acquaint the citizens with the many phases of the Public School progrmm. The p~per is distributed as a service to the townspeople in an attempt to keep the~ better informed about the schools and through it to make of every citizen a p~rtner in our mutual efforts for better schools. CGNCLUSIGI This has been a rewarding year for all of us in our Public Schools~. We ar~ grateful for continued and loyal support from the staff, from the student body, ~ud from the several Parent- Teacher Associations as we have worked cooperatively to assure continued progress for all. We are especia~l~v appreciative of the unceasing efforts of each member of our School Committee. Under your leadership we are individual ]~v chal I enged and inspired to build the North Andover Public School system into a dynamic end meaningful force in the lives of our young people.

Since entering our present building four years ago, the high school student body has increased by over fifty per-cent. It is anticipated that on October l, 1959 there will be some re- duction in the figure given above for October 1958. This decrease will be due to the e~pected opening of the new Regional High school in the town of Boxford. At present, the majority of Boxford High School pupils attend our school. Projected figures for the next few years, however, indicate that by the.year 1961 our e~rollment will be substantieJ[ly higher thau it is at the present time and that it ~lll quite probably exceed 700 by the year 1963. Our present school cannot acc~n~odate this ri%umber of pupils on a single-session basis. We are at capacity now. CLASS DF 1958 At the graduation exercises held last June, ninety pupils received their diplomas. Figures released by the Guidsace Department show that~ at present, twenty-five of these graduates are enrolled in four-year degree-granting institutions while nineteen are continuing their education at other specialized schools. Ten are now connected with the ~rmed forces while practi- cally all others are gainfully employed by various industrial organizations. ~82 SCHOLARSHIPS Paula Coates $100 Mary Glennie $ 50 John MinLban $100 Robin Monroe $100 Ma.ry Phelan $100 James Valliere $150 Andrew Zigelis $200 Once more, scholarships were awarded to several of our deserving graduates; ~m~ug these ax~ the following: Trinitarian Church School Scholarship Methodist Youth Fell~,ship Scholarship St. Michael's Holy Name Society Scholarship V. F. W. Auxilary and Post No. 2104 Co~,ercial Scholarship United Steel Workers of America Scholarship (awarded by local No. 2917) Gladys C. Sullivan Memorial Scholarship (awarded by the North Andover P. T. A.'s) Helen S. Carvell Memorial Scholarship (awarded by the North Andover Woman's Club) In addition to the above awards, the following pupils received scholarships directly from colleges of their choice in ~ounts ranging from $400 to $2000 a year: Victor Bat tagliolt Charles Mattraw Robin Munr ce Clair Oskar James Valliere Andrew Zigelis University of New Hampshire Rollins College St. Anselms College Mount Holyoke College Tufts College Dartmouth College AWARDS In addition to the scholarships mentioned above, several awards were made at the graduation exercises. These included: Harvard Club of Andover Award David Donovan (Class of '59) S,A.R. Good Citizenship Award John Minihan John McIntosh Memorial Award John Minihan Valedictory Award Claire Oskar Betsy Ross Chapter D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award Claire Oskem t83 Science Award James Valliere Latin Award Priscilla 'Watts SCHOOL Lr~RAR1; At present, there are slightly more than 280G volumes in the high school library. During the year l~O books, both fiction and non-fiction, were added to our shelves. Of these, sixteen were purchased from the Annie L. Sargent Fund and from the Daniel Greco Fund. Twenty-six v~ere gifts to the library and more than half of these were donated through the kindness of Miss Ruth Buchan~ a graduate of the old Johnson High School. During the year over 4400 books were borrowed by our pupils while over 6300 library permits were issued in order .that pupils might do reference work in the library. In addition to the books on the shelves, the school also subscribes to thirty-one different current periodicals. The library is under the supervision of Miss Irene Cook, a member of the faculty and teacher of French. It would seem that the time was fast approaching when consideration should be given to the employment of a f~,l]-time librarian. PEESONNEL CHANGES Because of increased enrollment, it was necessary to add two teachers to our faculty. These were ~h~s. Marion Gross~an in the C~mmercial Department and Mr. James Keegan in the English Department. Mr. Wilfred Robitaille was engaged to replace Mr. William Larochelle who accepted a po§itian with the Methuen School System. Mr. Robltaille is teaching in the social studies field and acting as varsity basketball coach and assistant football coach. All three of the above teachers have ha~ ~everal years experience prior to joining the North Andover System. There have also been several other shifts in athletic assignments during the past year. These are indicated below: James Keegan James N~lls George Lee Mary White Assistant Football Coach Assistant Basketball Coach Varsity Baseball Coach Director of Cheerleaders One additional faculty shift concerned Mr. C. Weston Noyes who was assigned as Band Director. In addition to the above faculty changes, Mr Alfred Midgley was added to the staff of high school custodians, replacing Mr. Domenic Vernille who was transferred to the new Franklin School. ATHLETICS Although our athletic program is not pointed mainly toward the winning of games, our teams of last year were unusually successful. The track team won the Northern Division Championship of the Essex County League and the boys~ basketball team won the State Championship of its class at the Boston Garden. As a fitting climax to th~s successikul season, a group of public spirited townspeople sponsored a fund raioim~ project which was responsible for sending the basketball squad on the educational trip to Washington, D. C. during the spring vacation. NEW COURSES Two years ago we initiated a course in senior English for a selected group of students. This year we sbarted the same type of course for a group of junior pupils. After lengthy consideration, a course in elementary Russian was started for a selected group of ninth-grade pupils. For an instructor we were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Eerie Champoelian, a member of the Brooks School faculty. I~e feel %hat in the years ahead, it is going to be imperative that many people in thio country understand the Russian language in order that business, economic and diplomatic relations with these people might more effectively be carried out. Although not a new course, we have extended our remedial reading program this year under the direction of ~Lrs. Mildred Swinnerton, a specialist in this area, Mr. John Donovan and certain English teachers of the high school faculty. %,Ye feel that eventually this program will have definite beneficial results in the development of better basic reading skills. TESTING PROGRAM .In the past, our high school has conducted a fairly extensive program of pupil-testing by means of nationally standardized tests. Among the tests administered this year have been the Iowa Tests of E~ucational Development. Until this year, these tests had been offered to grades 9 and 12 only. This year it was felt advisable to include grade lO in this program. The school keeps a careful record of the results of these tests and information is at hand for the last eight years. It is gratifying to note that there has been a gradual but definite improvement during this period, in the scores which pupils have achieved, MAINTENANCE OF GROUNDS As all are aware, the high school property is quite extensive. Since opening of the school in 1~54, care of the grounds and playing fields has been under the supervision of Mr. William Duffy, Superintendent of the Board of Public ~.;orks. I feel that a word of comendation is due to Mr. Dully and his very capable workers for the excellent job they have done in keeping our lawns and'athletic fields in such fine comdition. As people pass through a come. unity for the first time, their reactions to the community are very frequently determined by the condition and appearance of public buildings. I am s~u-e those who pass by the high school cannot help but be favorably impressed. M~TINGS The progressiveness of a teaching staff may be judged in r~my ways. One of these is certainly the willingness of the staff to attend meetings of an educational nature. Many of these meetings are after school hours or on week-ends. Such conferences during the past year have been attended at Boston; Amherst; L~3ell; North Andover; Indiannapolis, Indiana; Sw~mpscott; Methuen; Andover; C~mbridge; Lexington; Tondstock;;New Hampshire; ~nchester; Springfield and Dover, New Hampshire. Some members Of the staff have attended several different meetings. SCIENCE FAIR ;~t year for the first time, our high school initiated a science fair. This was under the direction of Mr. Vincent Foderaro and Mr. T~m~e~ Began. Four of our winning students were permitted to exhibit at the Regional Fair conducted at Lowell Tecb-ological Institute. O~e of our winners at Lowell was invited to exhibit at 186 the State Science Fair at M. I. T. This year we plmu once more to hold a science fair and expect even a larger number of entries than we had last year. CONCLUSION As our enrollment increases, our problems multiply. At this time I wish to extend my thanks to all those associated with the high school staff for the wonderful spirit of helpi~lness through- out the year. All teachers have been willing to assume added duties when requested, the School Committee has been most receptive to suggestions made and all personnel, in addition to faculty members, have been exceedingly cooperative and have taken much pride in the quality of their work. It is a pleasure to work in a school under such fine conditions. Sincerely yours, ALVAH G.

In September the new Franklin Elementary School opened its doors for its first classes. It is worthy of note that those first classes came very close to f~ll~ng the school to its 1~,11 c~pacity. The opening was somewhat ma*~"recl by unexpected delays in the delivery of certain items of furniture and equipment. Through the whole-hearted co- operation of pupils~ parents, and teachers, the difficulties were overcome with a minimum of disruption and confusion and without impairment in any way of the educational progr~n. Appropriate co~ndation is extended to all. Iooking to the comparatively near-term future, our school popu- lation is still growing; there is no option but to continue to think ahead, look ahead, -~a provide for this growing population. It is probable that the most iw~uent step will involve expansion of the present High School facilities. High School enrollment over the next five years is easily determinable a~d based on present enroll- merits in lower grades. The Nigh School was origioal ly designed for somewhere in the range of 600-650 pupils. With prospective enroll- ment of 700 pupils or more within the course of the next few year~, and with allowance for the dropping out of the present Boxford pupil load, a new wing will soon be mandatory. Rearrangement of present parking areas and relocation of certain of the present playing fields will be necessary. Your Building Co~m~ittee is, therefore, co-sp°n- soring at this time action to permit of acquiring additional acreage, adjacent to the present properties, to permit of maintenance of a proper bmlance of structures, athletic, and recreational areas, and parking facilities. We are faced with a somewhat siz~ilar situation with respect to the elementary schools. Both educationally and economically, there is presently considerable evidence that the next moves at this level will involve expansion and enlargement at both the Franklin and Kittredge Schools. Here again, and to this end, your Cow~ttee is co-sponsoring action to permit of acquiring additional acreage at both of these sites~ such additional acreage being in keeping with presently accepted standards for elementary school site areas. A further tentative step, end looking to the somewhat more distent future, is s~lso under consideration. Residential expansion in certain of the outlying areas is proceeding at a fairly rapid pace. No immediate property acquisition is presently contemplated. But it does seem advisable that certadn preliminary surveys should be conducted within the very near future to permit-of identifying, protecting, ~ud perheps acquiring for the Town, site or sites which would permit of the logical development of the Town's educational progrsmo The Building Committee wishes to express a deep sense of loss in the passing of its close associate and true friend, Abbot Stevens. He was a m~mHer of the Cormm~ttee from April 3, 1951, to his death on May 15, 1958. Attentive and patient in debate, sound and balanced in deliberation, fim and incisive in decision, his services were of inestimable value as he worked for the good of the Public Schools in our Town.
