Warning: A major m~dertaking involving' ~he installation of four warning s~rens is uearing completion with plans for a~ least one additional to be added to the system. We will be able to provide waruiug' to 80% of the population throna~h system. (Value: $5500; cost to town $1223.50). Much of ~he success of this program is to the credit of I)av~ & Furber Mae]fine Co. and Western Electric Co. who have contributed vital eqnipmen; and service. These concerns should be commended for their fine sense of civic respm~stbflity. ~edieM: Plans have been established for immediate creation from s~oekpiled medieaI equipment (valued at $50J200 more or less) of a complete hospital facility capable of earing' for over 200 persons and additional strateg'ieally placed firat aid stations. ~oordination and Oommand: This is to be accomplished from a primary and an alternate control center with C~vil Defense owned two way radios eon- neeting every towu department. (This systtmt vah~ed at proximately ~9000; cost to toxw~ about Rs~dioae~ive ~allont: Instrmnents have been stockpited for tnoMtor~na' fall ont (value about $1200, uo cost to town) and ~he direeto, and chief of Radio Service have been thoroughly trained in their use. Others in auxiliary police, attxiliary fire and reg'ular fire department are receiving training in this area. ~mergeney Housing and Peeding: Paeitities to accommodate at least the equivalent of th~ Town's population have been inx~entoried and earmarked. ~mergency Power: Faeilities in the ~orm of three generators of various sizes (Val.e ¢4000) have been ob;ained (cost to Town, $432.00) and additional units valued at $8000 to $10,000 are on order through government surplus properties (no eos~ to Town). 112 Rescue, Public Works and Related Services: I{ave been supplied with portable water purifier, genera- tors, floodlights and im,,idental equipment valued at about $3300; cost to Town, ,$475.00. Fire Service: Has been provided with complete two-way radio, portable trailer mounted 500 g.p.m, pump, and incidental equipment for rescue in aggregate value of about $11,000 with cost to Town of about $3000.00. Regular Training: Programs are underway involving about 100 persons with training aids and devices costing about $1000.00. Auxiliaxy Police: Have provided the Town with additional police service on Sunday and school traffic at no cost other than uniforms (less than $],00) which would cost in salaries alone about $2600. North Andover Civil Defense is the only political sub- division below state level which has an established and pub- lished operational and survival plans at this time. We hope to increase public participation in Civil Defense considerably in the eomirg year, expanding all services; to i~nplement a shelter program in the schools; and to increase Town acquisition of usable equipment which in many cases various departments make daily use of (which include abou+ $75,000 worth of equipment at a cost to the Town of perhaps $~000). We have increased the Civil:Defense budget request this year from $1500 to $3000 to allow for increased overhead since ]he office of Civil Defense maintains almost all of the equip- merit mentioned. North Andover Civil Defense operated in two state-wide forest fire emergencies declared by the governor and at least one local emergency. We appreciate the fine support of ~he public and of Selectmen Finck, Finneran and Suteliffe in assisting us to provide protection for the townspeople in time of emergency or disaster. N.B. All money is in round figures see Town Accountant's Report. Respectfully submitted, DEWEY A.

McKEE, Chief of Police 116 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board. held twenty-four meetings during the year ]957. There were four applications for re-classification; two were approved and two were denied. The Planning Board also had three applications for ap- proval of definitive plans under the Sub-division Control Law. Public hearings were held on each application and each was granted a conditional approval. A public hearing was held ou an application for a permit to built a motel on Chickering Road, which was approved by the Board. However, several of those opposed to the motel, took the ease to court. The Superior Court handed down a deeision in favor of the Planning Board. The opponents of the motel carried an appeal to the Supreme Court, deeislon on which is still pending. A public hearing was held for several amendments to the revised Zoning By-Law. A Special Town Meeting was held in October for the amendments, which were later approved by the Attorney General. During the year, the Planning Board met with various Town officials, along with Mr. John T. Blaekwell, Planning Consultant, to revise the Building Code and Zoning and Street Maps. Under contract with the Massachusetts Department of Commerce for Federal Planning Assistance, Section 701 of the Federal Housing Act, the first quarter of the year was devoted to zoning matters. Vertical aerial photographs to scale are now ready and a new town-wide street base map has been completed. The Building Code revision is nearly complete. The Board wishes to thank the officials and citizens of the Town for the fine cooperation given the North Andover Plan- ning Board during the year 1957. Respectfully submitted, NICHOLAS F. NICETTA, Chairman JOHN B. OSGOOI), Secretary HOWARD L. GILMAN JAMES M. BANNAN ROBERT J. BURKE 117 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS The Board of Appeals held fifteen meeti~gs during the year 1957. Public hearings were held on twenty-four applica- tions at ten of these meetings and two were special meetings. Fifteen applications were requests for approval of ~ arianee from the Zoning By-Laws due to subdivision of property and non-confornfing side and rear lot lines; all of which were approved. Seven special permits were granted; two were ap- plieations for renewal. One application for non-conforming nsc was denied. Four applications were withdrawn without prejudice or not prosecuted by the applicant. The Board wishes to express their appreciation of the cooperation given them by the citizens and offleials of' the Town. Respectfully subnfitted, NORTH ANDOVER BOARD OF APPEALS Donald F. Smith, Chairman Kenneth A. Tcrroux, Secretary Ilenry E. Imnd Nicholas F. Nicetta Daniel O'Leary Associate Members: Alfred Boeglin Benedict Perrone John J. Willis PUBLIC WELFARE REPORT Thc P~blic Welfare Department is now located on the ~nain floor of the Town Building in the old court room. Commencing in April, 1957, this office has had alterations made which provides the best facilities possible to serve ()ur community better. This year ~ve have provided for the average of 140 Old Age Assistance cases; 11 Aid to Dependent Children cases; 5 Disability Assistance cases, and 9 General Relief eases. There have been a ~umber of major changes made this year by the changes of Statutes, policies and procedures by the State Department of Publie Welfare. These changes effected Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children and Disability Assistance; namely: Six percent increase in budgetary stan- dards dne to the cost of living; increase for fuel allowances; llS change in Medical Plan procedures, aud added exemptions for children of 01d Age and Disability Assistance eases. Through the use of effective administration, the Welfare Department in the past year has been able to provide for maxi~nura reimbursements for all categories of Assistance from the State and Federal Government. In effect, costs of assistance are relevant to the reim- bursements provided and therefore costs to the Community are lessened. The total appropriation of the Welfare Department was $149,388.36 during 1957. After expenditm'cs the reimburse- ment totaled $139,836.87 from the State and Federal govern- ment. The State share, however, must be appropriated before expended. Many Old Age cases were found to be entitled to Social Security benefits who previously felt they were ineligible for this type of benefits. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that many people over 65 are entitled to these benefits who have not applied at the Social Security office. If in doubt, please contact the local Social Security office. Two meetings have been held to ascertain the need for housing' facilities for the elderly. The Housing Authority is now in the process Gl deciding if these accommodations are necessary in this town. In effect this will provide to eligible elderly people low cost accommodations. As your Welfare Agent i assumed by duties bere on April 15, 1957. It has been inost g'ratifyin~ to have had the cooperation of the Board of Public Welfare and the town departments in. helping this Department throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE P.

Respectfully submitted, ORIN B. FOSTER, Superintendent 121 REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL BOARD The Personm~l Board, established under the Personnel Wage and Salary Administration Plan adopted at the special town meeting of July 22, 1957, has met in xveekly sessions since its organization in early September. The first chairman, Mr. John L. Mylott, under whose able direction the early work of the board was accomplished, was reluctantly forced to resign iu mid-December for reasons of health and the pressure of personal business. The Board of Selectmen appointed Mr. t~obert Dnlnde, 16 Court Street, to complete the membership of the Personnel Board. At the first board meeting of 1958, Mr. P~iehard G. Haltmaier, 90 Herriek Road, was elected new chair- mall. The prinlary purpose of the board is to administer the By-Law. Among other things it also settles grievances in mat- ters such as job classification, establishes new classifications where the need exists, and recommends to Town Meeting changes in the By-Law if necessary. While an independent agency of town administration, the board is nonetheless limited to action within the framework of the By-Law, and is ulti- mately responsible to Town Meeting. As the work of the board progresses, its powers, by the very nature of things, will become more clearly defined. For the present it hopes to establish a just and fair wage policy satisfactory to employee and tax- payer alike. In the inception of the wage plan, Mr. Stunner D. Charm, Wage Analyst, deliberately placed the majority of employees somewhat lower o~ thc salary scale than dictated by their length of service, as outlined i}~ the plan under Sehedt~le "B". This item perhaps more so than any other, has been the cause of considerable dissatisfaction, since the starting wage rate nnder the plan was also the basis for calculating thc so-called retroactive "Cost of Living Bonus". Mr. Charm felt that to place all employees in their proper category according to length of serve at the plan's inception would have been prohibitive eostwlse to the town. Accordingly the salary and classification of every em- ployee was reviewed and adjustments were made where neees sary. In all eases where reclassification was made because of an error in original classification, due perhaps to incomplete or inaccurate job description, the correction was made retroactive to the date of the special town meeting, July 22, 1957. When the cost of all salary increases including, readjust- merits were calculated, the funds remaining from the original $7500.00 appropriated for the purpose were sufficient to place 122 every employee in that step in Schedule "B" in accordance with his length of service for the final six weeks of the year. Because of iiossib]e conflict with state statutes, the School Committee voted not to include the non-teaching school de- partnlent employees under the Personnel Wage and Salary Administration Plan as originally provided when enacted. However, since the funds were appropriated on the basis that non-teaching school department employees would be included, calculations were made on that basis. A breakdown of flgtwes by departments is shown iu Table 1.

They indicate an average increase only. The implication that every employee received an 8.4% i, erease is not intended. Ilowever, inequities in wage scales betwen various departments and within any one department have hopefully been minimized. In addition~, increases of the amonnts shown in Table II will be recommended at. the 1958 Annual Town 5[eeting for other employees nl~der the Wage and Salary By-Law.

It should be pointed out that al/- 123 peals from the board's decisions eau be made to the PersonneI Board of Appeals established by the Selectmen under the By- Law for that purpose. The Personnel Board is presently engaged in reviewing the By-Law and will make certain recommendations regarding changes to the town meeting. To this end, discussions will be held with the various department heads. The board wishes to emphasize that amendments to the plan can only be enacted at town meeting and then only after the proposed amendment has previously been discussed with the board. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD O. HALTMAIER, Chairman JOHN B. CORRIGAN JOHN W. HEGARTY JOSEPH ¥. FLANAGAN ROBERT P. DULUDE REPORT OF THE MOTH AND TREE DEPT. iNSECT PEST This department carried on the program against those insects and diseases specified by law a "public nuisance" in General Law, Section 11 of Chapter 132. These include gypsy and brown tail moths, canker worm, tent caterpillar, elm leaf beetle, ticks, and poison ivy (growing within 100 feet of public way), as well as the big problem of dutch elm disease. This year, to try and control the spread of the dutch elm disease, we sprayed three ti~nes; one dormant and t~vo foilage. Thirty-eight dead and bark beetle-infested elm trees were removed and destroyed by burning. Poison ivy spraying was done on streets and private pro- perty that was badly infested. Some spraying was done on private property in tile amount of $126.50. DUTCH EL3[ DISEASE One hmidred and forty-three "suspect samples" were sent to the University of Massachusetts Shade Tree Laboratories to be cultured; and, of this number, eighty-seven had the disease. This past summer's drought caused the foilage to turn yellow early making it hard to get samples. All except six of these diseased trees have been removed and burned. The re- maining six w~ll be taken c~re of by April, 1958. 124 Thc annual report from the Shade Tree Laboratory as September, 1957 is as follows: North Andover Essex County (34 towns) Total for State 194]-1957 TREE DEPARTMENT Dutch Elm Diseased Trees 87 8,083 57,514 This department removed about seventy trees after public hearing requests. Some of the reasons were new homes, drive- ways, and streets. Fifty-seven of these trees ~vere sampled for D. E. D., but were reported sterile. We did the us~aal shaping, trimming, and low-branch removal. Ninety trees were planted this year; some were replace- racnts and some were at new homes. Brush cutting was done on the narrow country roads and at dangerous corners. The work in the Town Forest this year consisted of trim- ming out the Red Pines near Dale Street.

Thirteen twelve inch, one tendneh, two eight-inch and thirty- one six-inch gate valves were placed. Thirteen uew fire hydrants were installed. The water main system now consists of sixty-seven and three hundretbs miles ef main pipe, two twelve-inch check valves, one twelve-inch altitude valve. twenty-five twelve-inch, fourteen ten-inch, sixty-nine eight inch and seven hundred and fifteen six-iueh valves, one four-inch valve and three hundred aud eighty-five public fire hydrants. Under the iuitial eonstruction program of larger -water mains twelve thousand fi~e hundred feet of twelve-inch, forty feet of ten-ineh, forty feet of eight inch and fifty feet of six- inch cement lined east iron water mains were placed on the following streets by Susi and DiCenso of ttvde Park, Mass., the low bidder: Sutton Street frem Osgood Street to Iligh Street, High Street from Sutton Street to Prescott Street, adjacent to the Boston and Maine Railroad }6ghbof-way from Prescott Street to Chiekering Road, Chiekering Road from Osgood Street to Park Street and Park Street from Chiekering Road to Osgood Street. Twenty-two gate valves and four fire hydrants were also included in this contract. Thirty-six feet of twelve-inch east iron pipe and one gate valve were placed on Turnpike Street ~rom the existing' termitms to provide 144 water service and fire protection to Merrimack College by Snsi and DiCenso of Hyde Park, Mass, the low bidder. The following six-inch cement lined water mains were placed: At 133 Dale Street, thirty-two feet of pipe and one gate valve to provide water mains for the Lantern Corporation devetopment; at 203 Dale Street, thirty-eight feet of pipe and one gate valve to provide water mains for the Lantern Cor- poration development; Heath Road frmn Milk Street to Sutton Hill Road eighte~m hundred seventy-five feet of pipe, five gate valves and two hydrants by the Sutton Hill Company, Cypress Terrace from Andover Street to Roscdale Avenue, eleven hundred and thirty-five feet of pipe, three gate valves and vne hydrant for the new Franklin School; Doaglas Road from Miffli~ Drive one hnndred and ninety-two feet of pipe and one gate wflve; Parker Street from previo~m terminus one lmndred and sevcn{y feet of pipe to the High School athletic fields; Mablin Avenne from G~enwood Street to Fernwood Street and Fernwood Street, three hnndred and eighty-eight feet of pipe, two gate valves and one hydrant: and Pembrook Road from previous terminus near Mifflhl Drive two hundred and eighty- seven feet of pipe to previous terminus near Tyler 'Road. New hydrants with gate valves on the hydrant branches of the following lengths of six-inch pipe were placed as follows: 145 Farnum Street, 9 feet; 25 Bradford Street, 20 feet; Lex- ington Street at Pleasant Street, 7 feet; Pembrook Road near Mifflin Drive, 7 feet; and 1785 Great fond Road, 26 feet. Defective or broken hydrants were replaced with new hydrants as follows: Cleveland Street at Sannders Street, Sutton Street near High. Street, Middlesex Street at. Beverly Street, at 83 Academy Road and. Osgood Street at Bradford Street. Gate valves were placed on hydrant branches at 301 Johnson Street and 83 Academy Road.

Twenty-one old services were either wholly or partially re- newed. The new and renewed services equalled one and two tenths miles of pipe. Sixty-nine new meters were installed and one hnndred and seventy-four old meters, hmluding seven frozen meters were renewed, inspected, repaired and reset. There were twenty-nine service leaks, three main joint leaks, four split main pipe leaks dud seven hydrants broken by automobiles including the one at Middlesex Street and Beverly Street twice. All hydrants were inspected as usual, repaired where necessary and painted. The annual inspection and repair of almost eight hundred gate valves and valve boxes in the system continues to prove to be worthwhile maintenance. One hundred and seventy-six boat registration plates were issued and two hundred and twenty-four residents were granted permits to boat and fish in Lake Coehiehewiek. En- forcement of the regulation of the State Department of Public Health for preventing the pollutiou and securing the sanitary protection of the water of Lake Coehichewick, source of the town's water supply, has become serious with the increasing use of the lake for recreational purposes and the development of the shores for housing and other uses. The reservoirs were inspected by the County Engineer as required by the General Laws and fonnd 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 satis- factory. Aunual inspection of the double cheek valve iustalled between the public water supply and other sources of suppiy for industrial use only have been made in cooperation with the Department of Public Ilealth of the Commonwaelth. Porch roofs were added at both the main entrance and the chemical room entrance at the North Pumping Station to prevent driving rains from entering the building. At total of 39{;,144,800 gallons of water were pumped by the North and South Pumping Stations in 1957. This is the largest amount ever pnna_pcd from Lake Coehiehewiek, the source of North Andover's water supply, and is 96 million gallons nmre than 1956, the previous record year. The eon- sumption in July, the peak month, was 49 milliou gallons. Almost half the average daily consumption of the last three months of the year, of a million gallons a day, was used by the industrial and commercial consumers of North An(lover. SEWER DEPARTMENT The North Andover Sewerage System is designed to flow in three divisions~ the East Side Drainage Area. with its trunk sewer following Cochlchewick Brook from Lake Cochichewick to the )[errimack River; the West Side Drainage Area with its trunk on Massachusetts Avenue and along the Shawsheen River to the 3/[errimack River; thc Central Drainage Area hounded by Waverley Road, Middlesex and Water Streets, with trunk sewer on Waverley Road, Water Street, and k][ain Street to the i~[errimack River. There are twenty-six miles of main sewers iu the North Andover Sewerage System with seventeen hundred and twenty- two house connections. 146 SIZE OF SEWERS (INCHES) 27 24 20 18 15 12 10 8 6 LENGTH OF SEWERS (FEET) 1858 4926 822 8450 5099 5300 19134 40468 51055 The following main sewers were constructed in 1957 by the Dow Company of Methuen, the low bidder: Pleasaut Street from Osgood Street, four hundred feet of eight-inch pipe and two manholes; Highland View Avenue from Furber Avenne, two hundred and fifty feet of eight-inch pipe and one manhole; Chiekering Road from previous terminns southerly three hun- dred feet of eight-inch pipe and one manhole; Douglas Road from Mifflin Drive, one hundred and eighty-five feet of six- inch pipe and one manhole; Beacon Hill Boulevard, from Massachusetts Avenue, two hundred and fifty feet of eight- inch pipe and one ~nanhole; Harwood Street from Massachu- setts Avenue, one hundred and fifty feet of six-inch pipe and two manhole~. The following extensions to the East Side Trunk sewer, authorized by the 1956 Annum Town Meeting, were made bv the Elm Construction of Dedham, the low bidder, in additio;~ to the work done in 1956: Pleasant Street, one hun- dred and eighteen feet of twenty-seven inch concrete pipe and two manholes; right-of-way from Pleasant Street to Great Pond Road, sixteen hnndred and seventy ~eet of fifteen inch concrete pipe and six manholes; Great Pond Road to Andover Street, eight hundred and twenty-six feet of t~velve inch vitri- fied clay pipe and six manholes; Andover Street, from Great Pond Road to Cypress Terrace, twelve hundred and sixty feet of twelve inch vitrified clay pipe and five manholes, six hun~ dred and seven feet of ten inch pipe and two manholes, four- teen hundred and thirty seven feet of eight inch vitrified clay pipe and six manholes; Stevens Street, from Great Pond Road to Salem Street, two hundred and twenty-seven feet of ten- inch vitrified clay pipe and one manhole, six hnndred and nine feet of eight-inch pipe and three manholes; Johnson Street, from Andover Street to Salem Street, ~onr hnndred and thirty- five feet of ten inch pipe and two manholes; Oak Avenue from Andover Street, three hundred feet of elght-ineh pipe and one manhole; Chestnut Street, from Andover Street to Longwood Avenue, ten hnndred and fifteen feet of eight-inch pipe and seven manholes; I~ongwood Avenue from Chestnut Street to Rosedale Avenue, eleven hundred and fifty-eight feet of eight inch pipe and six manholes; Hewitt Avenue, from Chestnut Street to Rosedale Avenue, nine hundred and eighty-one feet of eight-inch pipe and five manholes; Rosedale A~enue from Hewitt Avenue, six hundred and seventy-six feet of eight-inch pipe and two manholes; and Minute Avenue, from Itewitt A~'enne, one hundred and eighty-three feet of eight inch pipe. 147 The removal of twelve hundred and sixty-two cubic yards of ledge added to the cost and length of time for completion of the project. Thirty-three houses had been connected to the new East Side Sewers by Deccml)er 3]. Fifty-five sewer connections, totaling thirty-three hundred and thirty-five feet were laid between buildings and main sewers. Sixty-seven particular sewers, most of them blocked by roots were cleaned. All main sewers were flushed and cleaned in the spring as usual while twenty-three ~nain sewers partially blocked by roots were inspected and cleaned several times. The manholes were repaired and frames and covers raised to proper grade on the followin? reconstructed sfreets: Sutton Street, Main Street to Osgood Street; Middlesex Street, Greene Street to Massachusetts Avenue; Third Street, Main Street to Middlesex Street. SCHOOL GROUNDS DEPARTMENT Under the provisions of Chapter SO of the Acts of 1954, the care, improvement and Maintenance of school deparlment property, exclusive of school buildings, was assumed at that time. The areas involved are as follows: Bradstreet School 1.20 acres, Thomson School 2.99 acres, Kittredge School 8.57 acres, Johnson Iligh School---1.57 acres, North Andover High Sehool--28.73 acres, a total of 41.0~J acres. The six iuch water main was extended from the previous terminus on Parker Street to the High School grounds so thc; a meter pit and three hundred and fifty seven feet of three- inch pipe and three hundred aud fifty 'feet of txvo-iuch pipe w/th three risers eould be installed between the baseball field and football field to provide for watering thc playing fields. Stumps were removed from the area between the football field and Parker Street gate and lhe area leveled, loamcd and seeded. A practice football field and the ~ootb~ll game fietd were marked out and maintained for the High School teams. A field hockey playing area was laid out and maintained also. The Thomson, Kittredge, ,lohnson High School and High School grounds were fertilized, ~nowed and maintah~ed as usual. PARK DEPARTMENT The Park system now consists of the Center Common of '3.2 acres, Training Grouuds of 1.9 acres, Memorial Park of acres, Old Burying Grmmd of 1.1 acres and the smaller His- torical Plot, Farrington Burying Ground and twenty small 'plots at street intersections, a total of over ten acres. Ail the :above areas were maintained as usual. 148 The Phillips Brooks statute on the Center Common was floodlighted at Christmas. Several beds of over-grown shrubs on the Main Street side of Memorial Park were removed and lhe areas learned and seeded. The impossibility of pr~)perly maintaining a park and allowing it to be used as a playground is being' demonstrated again at Memorial Park, and the Center Common. It is reeom- mended that other sites be secured for playgrounds if the present parks developed over the past thirty years by the town, the North Andover Improve~nent Society, the Garden Club and private persons are not to be damaged and their attractiveness destroyed. PLA¥OROUNI) DEPAIITMENT The recreational areas ~n the Playgrmmd System now consist of Grogans Field 4.7 acres, Drummond Field 5.0 acres, American Legion Bathing Beach, 1.4 acres, Waverley Play ground 4.7 acres, Aplin Playground 1..5 acres, a total of 17.3 acres. The new James I~. Aplin Memorial Playground on Claren- don Street was established by the annual town meeting in dedicating some town owned land for playground purposes and by accepting some adjoining land from the Davis & Furber Machine (Jo. ~or the same purpose. The site was graded and over three thousand cubic yards of fill were deposited in the area to bring the surface up to the level of Clarendon Street. A chain link fence was erected on the northeast sides of the area and a baseball backstop was set up on the playing field. A large sand box was built and instMled and benches set up near it. A set of swings, a stainless stee] slide and a drinking' fountain were also located there. A bronze plaque on a granite monument was placed on the Clarendon Street side of the play- ground. The entire area was learned, fertilized and seeded. The skating rink in the northwest corner of Drummond Field was filled in through the cooperation of the Ehn Construction Com- pany, contractors on the East Side Sewer project, after it had been determined that the residents of the area no longer wanted ib. The area was then learned and seeded. The Little League diamond at Waverley Playground was eo~npletely built witb loam, fertilizer and seed and the entire Marblehead Street level of the playgornnd was also learned, fertilized and seeded. Baseball and football fields were maintained at Gro- gan's Field for playground aetivity as well as local independent teams now that the High School fields are nsed by the School Department. The cooperation of all other town departments is grate- fully acknowledged and particular thanks is given for the 149 generous assistance of Highway Surveyor Ira D. Carry and Tree Warden John J. Commrs during a year which has been one, of expanding activity. RespectfulIy submitted, WILLIAM B. DUFFY, Superintendent.

Streets were cleared of the snow as soon as any accumulation has settled, then sanded. As in previous years, ice on roads and sidewalks req,tired a considerable amount of sand and salt. Many new sandboxes have been plaeed at intersections and refilled when needed. The public has been very cooperative in placing sand on slippery spots on sidewalks, thereby eliminating many ac- cidents. Because of heavy traffic on many of the streets, much more work has been required on them to keep them in proper condition. Two applications of Tarvla on some strebts to keep them in condition. The following were treated with MC2, gTaveled and sanded and rolled: Salem Street from the Kruseh- wltz residence to Middleton Line, 3900 feet on Campbell Road from Houghton residence and Winter Street from Dale Street to Fos~er Street, Foster Street from Salem Street to Winter Street, Great Pond Road, from Crocker Sanatorium to Per- vere's residence, West Bradstreet Road, Cotuit Street, Brew- ster Street, Barker Street, Abbott Street, Court Street, Academy Road, Pembrook Road, Tavern Road, Woodbridge Road, Tyler Road, Beech Street, tlewltt Avenue, Mifflin Drive. Beacon Hill Boulevard, Brook Street and Farnham Street. Middlesex Street from Mass. Avenue to Waverley Road was hot-topped with Type I mix after the completion of the road work. Several other sidewalks were repaired with the same type of mix where they were broken up. Article 36, 1955 -- Sidewalk Project This appropriation was carried forward from ~955, but no work done until this year. We hope to continue this work as there are a few applications on file which were not received in time to be done this season. These sidewalks have added much to the appearance of the streets. Article 34, 1956 -- Chapter 90 (I. L. Construction , Money was appropriated from State and County funds for the rebuilding' of Dale Street. Trees were cut clown and ex- cavation started in November. but dine to weather conditions the work is now held up until the Spring. Article 44, 1956 -- Disposal Site Maintenance At various intervals ditches are dug at the site as there is a considerable amount of debris dmnped there, not only from our ow,a collections but also fram the several plants which 158 also use the disposal site. The debris is covered so that the site may be kept in an orderly condition. Article 45, 1957 -- Chapter 90 G. L. Highway Maintenance Money aprpopriated at the Town Meeting, along with State and County appropriations, was used to recondition Salem Street and Waverley Road. These streets were treated with MC2 sanded and honed. Waverley Road was completed from the Thomson School to the Andover Line, and Salem Street was treated at various sections for the whole distance of the road. Article 40, 1957 -- Chapter 90 G. L. Construction -- Dale Street At the annual Town Meeting money was appropriated to continue the work on Dale Street but due to the lateness of awarding the contract, this money will be carried over for this year's work. Article 47, 1957 -- Painting and Replacing Street Signs Many street signs were replaced this year, some having been broken or destroyed in some manner so that they ;vote beyond repairing. Many new streets in town were without signs and others had to be repaired and repainted. Article 48, 1957 -- Cyclone Fence at Stevens Pond Monev was appropriated at the annual Town Meeting to install a el?lone wire fence at the pond. This has been a very dangerous place for some time, but now with the fence installed on both sides it should eliminate this condition. Article 50 -- Sutton Street Brook The stone wall at Sutton Street had collapsed, causing a dangerous spot, so at the meeting money was appropriated to rebuild this wall. Large stones were pheed and then a heavy coat of cement xvas poured over the stones to hold the retaining wall. This work completed should hold for a considerable length of time. Article 52, 1957 -- Storm Drain on Wood Lane At the annual Town Meeting money was appropriated for the installation of a storm drain on Wood Lane. There being' a considerable amount of ledge there, it was necessary to remove 6fty-¢onr cubic yards of ledg'e. Six cross drains, twelve ea. teh basins, and twelve feet of eighteen inch pipe were installed. Fourteen hundred feet of road completed to Woodstock Road. Thc road was treated with MC2 and sanded.

An Article has been placed in the Town Warrant to determine the need of this type of housing. A New Management program has been adopted. This requires that rents charged shall hear the following relation- ship to the tenant's net family income: 1854. fro' families with one or less minor dependents 18% for families with two minor dependents 14% for families with three or more minor dependents $200. deduction fro211 total famih, income for each m/nor child in excess of three in n(unber.

HOWES 167 REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT We the undersigned Board of Fire Engineers respectfully submit the Annual Report of the Fire Department for the year 1957. The Fire Department answered 281 alarms in 1.957. Valuation of Buildings Involved $21,850.00 Insurance on Buildings Involred 36,900.00 Loss on Buildlngs 15,570.00 Insurance Paid 12,233.00 Value of Building Contents 25,0~0.00 Insurance on Contents 14,800.00 Insurance Paid on Contents 2,032.00 Loss on Contents 4,000.00 Automobiles or Truck Fires 13 Brush Fires 37 Ambulance Calls Answered 409 Ambulance Calls to Boston 30 Mutual Aid Calls 12 Fire Alarm System In the Fire Alarm System, we service forty (40) miles of overhead wire, and fifty-eight (58) outside alarm boxes. This year, we have changed Boxes 58, 59, 61, 62 from the old obsolete type to the new non-interferihg type. Recommendations We recommend that a new ambulance be purchased ~o replace the present 1947 one now in service. We recommend the addition of an officer and three men be added to the permanent force to give us added strength around the clock and on weekends. The survey of the depart- ment is completed but reports will not be made until the water system is checked, and this cannot be done until spring. We also recommend the appointing of a committee to look into the cost o~ erecting another fire station located in the general vicinity of the "old center". There is so much building going on in that area, that we feel the present station is too far away to properly protect it. Respectfully submitted, JAMES P. DAW EDWIN F.

Examination of the statistics contained in this report reveals collections precentagewise lo have been exceeded only on several oceasions. Antomobile excise taxes are abont .q percent outstanding, bnt this is approximately the same year to year, due largely to the practice of our state officials in not getting some of the excise lists to the towns until the Christmas season. As all taxes have been collected for all years up to and including 1956 the Town will be reimbursed for 331~g percent of the cost of thc, Collector's Bond. Respeetfnlly submitted, JAMES H.

A total of 3~; applicants were screened for the jobs. 26 girls and 10 boys, and all had very good qualifications and the Council had a difficult time selecting the best qualified for playground work. 1957 saw the ope~ting of the fourth playground in North Andover. [t was named the Aplin Playground after one of the towns honored dead. This was a dream come true for long time members of the Council who have worked hard to bring about this playground. A total of 520 boys and girls registerecl at the four play- grounds and they enjoyed the eight weeks of planned events at each of the playgrounds. 1350 ear ~tickers were given out in the fifth year of the ear sticker system at the Bathing Beach.

MASSACHUSETTS LIBRAtlY FILM COOPERATIVE We have entered our third year of participation in the Massachusetts library film cooperative. In this by buying one film or applying money toward the purchase of one fihn, the library is entitled to borrow fihns from the Off'ce of Audio- Visual Services of the Department of Education. Organizations in the community may borrow these frmn thc library without charge. The library also has on hand during nine months of the year commercially sponsored films which may be borrowed free. During 1957, 60 films were seen during 107 showings by 4977 persons. REGISTRATION OF BORROWERS In October the library instal]ed a book charging machine to speed up the work at the charging desk. In preparation for this, a complete re-registration of adult borrowers was begun late in June. 1721 adult borrowers registered through Decem~ ber 31. All cards for the borrowers registered prior to the re- registration have been removed from the files. Thus the total number shown is less than the number of borrowers repor~ced at the end of 1956. Thc adult re-registration is going on con- stantly. The current number of registered borrowers consists of 1415 children and ~721 adults, a total of 3136. 194 ACTIVITIES IN TitE ADULT DEPARTMENT The library observed its fiftieth anniversary on November 25 with a program to which the public was invited. Through arrangements made by Mr. Buchanan Charles, we were able to secure distinguished librarians as speakers and a very fine program was presented. The speakers were L. Quincy Mum- ford, Librarian of Cc~agrc~;s: William A, Jackson, Professor of Bibliography, Librarian of the Houghton Library, Itarvard College; Waiter Muir Whitehill, Director and Librarian of the Boston Athenaemn; Abbot Stevens, grandson of the Hon- and Mrs. Moses T. Stevens, donors of the library building, and Ralph ~. Finek, Chairman of Selectmen of North Andover. Librarians and trustees of neighboring libraries attended this gathering as did representative persons of the eommmfity. In May the Dartmouth Association of Greater Lawrence honored Riehard Hovey, a poet, who spent some time during his boyhood days in North Andover, by exercises at his grave in Ridgewood cemetery. In observance of this event, 5Ir. Ch arles arranged in the library a noteworthy exhibit of ttovey's works and articles pertaining to him. (The library owns many volumes of his poetry.) Radio Station WCCM gave the library the tape recording of the exercises at Hovey's grave. Other exhibits in the library included a display of Books of 1956 as selected by a special committee of the Ameri- can Library Association; ~axden Books from a list compiled and mimeographed by this library for the North Andover Garden Club; and a group of books on Education, prepared by a Joint Committee of the National Education Association and the American Library Association. LIBRARY BOOK RETURN BOX For the convel~ience of borrowers who wish to return books while the library is closed, a Library Book Return Box has been installed on Greene Street, near the entrance to the library driveway. LESSONS ON THE USE OF THE LIBRARY Lessons on the use of the library: how to find books from the card catalog and arrangement of books on the shelves have been given to pupils of the Thomson School. LIBRARY AS A MEETING PLACE Various community organizations have held their business meetings in the Children's room and Work room. The Chil- dren's room served as a meeting place for a group of librarians and trustees who met with Miss Alice 3/[. Cahill of the Division of Library Extension and Mrs. Richard Sullivan, Librarian of the North Reading Regional Library Center to discuss a prospective bookmobile route for this area. 195 RECORD COLLECTION The collection of long playing records was augmented because of a gift of fifty dollars from Phillips Acaderuy, An- dover, from the proceeds of the Adult Evening Study Groups. CIIILDREN'S ROOM ACTIVITIES Pre-school children as well as children in the schools have enjoyed the privileges of the Children's room. Mrs. Porman has increased the number of pre-school story hours this fall and now has two story hours for them every other week. During the year there were 24 pre-school story hours, 17 regular story hours and 9 film programs. More than 125 ehiL dren enrolled in the Vacation Reading Club and 125 success- fully completed the required reading. 5Irs. Forman made 64 visits to classrooms where she gave book reviews or told stories. The purpose of her visits was to acquaint the children with what the library has to offer them in new books. Spring Book Festival and Book Week were observed by displays of new and attractive books. STAFF ACTIVITIES Mrs. Forman, Mrs. King and Miss Batehelder have at- tended meetings of the New England Library Assoeiatiom the Massachusetts Library Association and the Merrimae Val] ley Library Association. Mrs. Forman is on the Exeeutlve Committee of the Children's Rouud Table of the Massachusetts Library Association. Mrs. Forman and Miss Batehelder have pre-viewed films in the Massachusetts Library Film Coopera- tive. Mrs. I£ing acted as Secretary of the l[lerrimac Valley Library Association at its fall meeting. Miss Batchelder is president of the Merrimac Valley Library Association. All staff members have given book talks and reviews to several ~'ommunity organizations. Respectfully submitted, MARION F. BATCHELDER, Librarian. lu the foregoing librarian's report, Miss Batchclder re- ferred to the fiftieth anniversary celebration on November 25, 1957. The importance of this milestone in the history of the library is indicated by the eminence of the three librarians who considered the observance worthy of their participation. Mr. Ralph E. Finck, chairman of the Board of Selectmen and gfr. Abbot Stevens also spoke. Mr. Stevens, prominent woolm~ 196 ananufacttlrer, banker, and trustee of Phillips Academy, is a grandson of the late Itoh. and Mrs. Moses T. Stevens, donors of the library building. Mr. Finck expressed the gratitude of the citizens of Nort, h Andover for the gift of the building in 1907 when the North Andover Public Library, founded in 1875, was succeeded by the Stevens Memorial Library. Mr. Stevens described the interesting way in which the architect and the design of the building were chosen. More lhan forty architects applied for the cominission to the huild- ~ng committee, of which Mr. Steven's father, the late Samuel Dale Stevens, was chairman. From among the applicants five architects were chosen to submit competitive designs. Tho competition was won by Guy Lo~vell of Boston with the design of the present building which is in the style of the Italian Renaissance. Mr. Lowell was also the architect of the Presi. dent's Ilouse at Harvard, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and buildings at Phillips Academy, Andover. Following Mr. Stevens's address, Mr. Charles, ~ho ln'esided at the celebration and is chairman of the trustees, briefly out- lined the history of the Stevens Memorial Library since its opening in 1907. There have been only two librarians dm'ina' this long period. The first, Miss Elizabeth M. Pond, held the position for twenty-one years, resigning in 1928. The second and present librarian, Miss Marion F. Batehelder, is eom- pleting her thirtieth year of service in 1958. One of the most important developments of the fifty year period has been the recent emphasis on the collecting of the works of local authors. The earliest of these authors was Anne P, radstreet. (c. 1612-1672), of whose works we now have the most important collection in existence, including her only known manuserlpt which is dated 1664, and is considered one of the most notable relics of American literary history. The first speaker of the three distinguished librarians was Mr. Walter Muir Whitehill, director and librarian of the Bos- ton Athenaeum, a resident of North Andover, and author of The Boston Public Library: A Centennial History. Mr. White- hill said that as public libraries date back only about one hnn- dred years, the North Andover Public Library founded in 1875, and its successor, the Stevens Memorial Library, opened in ~907, are relatively ancient institutions. He concluded his address by saying that, "The public library serves so wide and varied an audience that there is no predicting where its arrows may strike or fall. In fact the less one tries to predict the 'better. The voter, the trustee, the librarian owe it to theb, 1own to provide as many, as varied and as excellent books aa 197 can possibly be afforded, and let nature take its course. That they have done so here is a cause for sincere congratulations." The second librarian, Mr. William A. Jackson, Professor of Bibliography ~nd Librarian of the Houghton Library of rare books at Harvard said, "I~ is a pleasure indeed to p~y tribute to the courage, perserveranee and generosity of the citizens of North Andover who acquired for this library the Anne Brad- street collection. That e, olleetion is a perfect example of the kind of rare book collection I believe proper for a small public library". His approval was based on the fact that Mrs. Brad- street had lived and worked in North Andover. He contrasted collections such as ours with indiseri~ninate collecting having no connection with the loealit.y in which the collections are made. Rare books and mannseripts of value to research, if contained in miscellaneous collections in small public libraries, may be so dif~cult for scholars to locate as to result in a virtual denial of access. IIowever, in the ease of nnique and very scarce material such as that contained iu our Bradstreet leetiom no scholar looking for this material, he pointed out, could fail to !e~rn of its exist~neo or complain if lie had to turn to the place of its origin to nsc it. The last speaker, Mt': [,. Quincy Mumford, the Librarian of Congress, said that as the Stevens Memorial Library seems to trace its lineage back to the Andover Social Library rjr North Andover which flourished in the 1770's, he sainted (Jur library as senior to the institution which he has the honor to serve. (The Library of Congress was founded in 1800.) He then quoted the report in the Library of Congress Information Bul- letin of our acquisition of the Anne Bradstreet manuscript in January 1955. This acquisition, he said, was an example of the way in which a forward-looking public library may extend its duties beyond town lindts and identify itself with the cus- todians of the national heritage. He also pointed out the fact that the Stevens Memorial Library has touched not only the lives of its borrowers but probably also the lives of their families, adding that "For children and young people it im- portantly supplements the xvork of the schools and for adults it provides the means of furthering the educative process. It is a laboratory for teachers, parents, social workers and all nthers concerned for the welfare and advancement of the rising' generation. It is, in short, a source of information, understand- ing, stimulation of thought, enjoyment, inspiration, and en- richment of life. It is inalienably an element in the democratic process of enlightenment. "The g'enerosity and vision of men like Andrew Carnegie ,on the national scene and like Moses Tyler Stevens in North Andover gave welcome impetus to this develop~nent. But the 198 public library, basically a tax-supported institution, remains chiefly the responsibility of the eommuniW. And if the library is to ~e responsive to the needs of the community, it must have adequate support." The full text of these three addresses is to be printed in the April issue of the gay State l.ibra,rian, the quarterly bul- letin of the Massachusetts Library Association. At the eud of the anniversary celebration, as refreshments were being served, our guests, estimated at t~vo hundred and including librarians and trustees from neighboring towns, had au opportunity to inspect the library's facilities and of seeing rmr loan collection of magnificent paintings, which includes large canvasses by Van Dyek and Copley and works by d'Hon- deeoeter, Signae, Childe Hassam, Henry Varnnm Poor, Waldo Pierce, 3oseph de Martini, and Charles Prendergast. With the rapid gTowth of North Andover, the high educa- tional level of the community, and the ever increasing demands upon the library's resources and staff, it is the hope of tl~e trustees that the library will continue to have the support of the citizens, which it must have if, as Mr. Mumford pointed out, it is to be responsive to the needs of the community. In conclusion the trustees wish to express their continued appreciation of the work of Miss Batehelder and her staff in their nnfailing efforts to maintain the highest standards of public library service which a towu of the size of North An- (lover requires.

This is a serious matter because these devices are used to measure commodities which are used in our daily living. Errors cost lnoney and in a year's time losses eau run high for the eousumer or the retailer. I wish that whenever there is any doubt as to the eorrect- uess of auy measuring device that a report be made to me and I will be only too happy to give it immediate attention. I am thankful for the cooperation received from all. Respectfully submitted, DOMENICO. BONANN0, Sealer of Weights and Measures 201 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NORTH ANDOVER SCHOOL COMMITTEE To the Citizens of North Andover: At a meeting held January 9, 1958, it was voted to snbmit the report of the Superintendent of Schools to the Town as the anm~al report of the School Committee. FRANK D. ASHBURN, Chairman FP~ED C. ATKINSON MRS. TOM F. INGRAM WILLIAM F. ROCK MRS. DEAN ROSS 2O2 FRANCIS J. 0'BRIEN Francis J. O'Brien was born in Lawrence on August 28. 1595. He attended the Oliver and Lawrence High Schools, graduating from the latter, where he won the Gilbert E. IIood m. edal in 1912. Going on to Harvard, he received the Bachelor of Arts degree, magus cmn laude, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In 1931 he received his Master's degree front Harvard Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. Returning to Lawrence he began teachings English, Latin and physics in 1917. In 1926 he was made head of the physics department. He also was one of the founders and the first fac- ulty advisor of the Lawrencian, the High School paper. In 1946 he was elected Superintendent of Schools in North Andover, a post he filled with continuous distinction and marked ability. During his administration the facilities he inherited were improved. A new elementary school, the Kittredge, and the new North Andover High School were built, setting a fresh standard for the community and comparing favorably with similar plants in the very best systems. At the time of his death he was immersed in plans for a third school, since named the Franklin, which will contain a hall in his memory. Under him teachers' salaries were raised and under his gentle, per- suasive but firm leadership morale flourished and loyalty was strong. His interest in academic techniques and in all ways and means th, at could lead to better schools in North tkndover was unflagging, and his leadership resulted not only in better schools, bat in a happy relationship between the schools and the community. Nor was his energy confined to his own prescribed duties. He was president of the Essex County Teachers' Association and of the Merrimack Valley Guidance Association; was active in the Boy Scouts; was president of the Community Chest in 1941-1942, and a member of The Family Service Association o~ Greater Lawrence. He was also active in fra- ternal and religious organizations, and took a strong part in the town's centennial program in 1955. He died of a heart condition after a short illness on June 1~, 1957, mourned and beloved by a host, of friends in all ~valks of life who had known him as a wise, patient, kindly and transparently honest educator, devoted citizen, and deeply tells'ions person. There was no doubt in the minds of those who knew hbn that in a literal sense he worked himself to death in the service of the schools and community he loved, con- tinning with heavy duty in spite of prolonged weariness and despite premonitory heart attacks. Affection and trust have not often been so widely received nor so full.,/' deserved. 203 1957 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS December 31, 1957- Members of the School Committee: I a~n pleased to present my first annual report, the 103rd in a series of Annual I~cports, and the 62nd prepared by a superintendent of schools. The material which follows is designed to serve as a factual summary of growth and de- velopment in the areas of curriculum, staff, and plant, and to set forth a statement of the issues ,q~d challenges which face our schools in the years ahead. CURRICULUM Our staff is always at work on a continuing study of the total school program. The curriculum must be dynamic, keep- ing pace with the changing needs of our young people. During the year each teacher, working singly or in a group, evaluates the effectiveness of the teaching-learning relatiouship and suggests ways and means by which more significant progress may be achieved. In September, the new first-~o, rade group in each sehooI began a new time-allotment plan. All children come to school for a full morning session, with a selected group remaining for the afternoon session on ~5londa¥. Wednesday, and Friday. Those children who are returned 'l~ome on these afternoons remain in school for the full day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. By using' this plan, each first-~rade teacher is able to work with a smaller group of children in the afternoon, thus making it possible for her to pay particular attention to the speeia] needs of each child. l{eports from the teachers and principals indicate that the plan is working well. Teachers have time in the afternoon to give special help to children who need it, and to plan enriched programs for those who are able to make rapid progress. It would seem desirable to continue to operate om~ first grade under this schedule as long as it proves to be advantageons for the pupils and teachers eoucerned. The evaluation of the High S¢'hool, under the auspices of the New England Association of C011eg'es and Secondary Schools, was completed during the year. As reported elsewhere by the high-school principal, the successful completion of the evaluation program continues our membership in the Associa- tion, and testifies to the general and specific excellence of North Audover High School. The Evaluation Visiting Committee found much to emu- mend as it studied our curriculum, our staff, and our buildiug.._ 2O4 ~-Understandably, our concern was for the Committee's recom :mendations for improvement. The staff found these to be most helpftfl and it is gratifying to report that sig~fifieant improve- ments have already been initiated. You may be interested in some of the Committee's suggestions: (1.) Continne the study and analysis of the eurrieulmn in order that the program of studies may always meet the pupil needs. (2) Begin work on the preparation of written courses of study for each subject area where these are not presently available. (3) Integrate and coordinate the deloartments of the high school for subject matter, materials, and equipment. (4) Increase the length of the periods and the length of the school day. (5) A full-time librarian should be employed; the basic library eo]Ieetion should be increased to 5,000 volumes; an annual budget of one dollar per pupil should be established for library books and materials. {6) Increase the guidance services through additional personnel, provide private space for counseling, draw all teachers more closely into the guidance function. (7) Explore the possibilities of greater use of the building for adult education. (8) Take steps to enhance the fine high-school sit~ with suitable landscaping. The staff of our public schools is particularly mindful of the implied challenges to American education resulting from recent international significant events. We are concerned to maintain the nnique contribution which our schools make to our total welfare while we search for ways to strengthen our total program. Plans for the year ahead iuclude the es~ablishmm~t of a remedial reading program which will give needed assistance *o children with reading proble~ns, and the start of a guidance service at the elementary level, which will provide help and counsel in dealing with educational, vocational, social and emotional problems. We plan to amplify our standardized testing program at all grade levels, using the results as guidance tools with individual pupils, as measures of grade :and school achievement, and as a stimulus to needed eurrieulmn 5mprovement. We wish to take a new look at the ways in which we do, 4or /1o not, mee~ the needs of our gifted young people. It is 205 fairly obvious that greater challenges in mathematics, science, foreign language, can and should be made availble to those who can profit by increased efforts in those areas. Basic skills and understandings must be more highly developed in all pupils if each one is to make his maximum contributiou as a responsible member of our democratic society. STAFF The success of our schools is directly reflected in the quality of our total staff. Each employee has an exacting responsibility to the youth of the community and he is selected and retained on the basis of his ability to make a major eon- tribution to the aims and objectives of our schools. In these days of increasing teacher shortage it is not easy to meet our demanding criteria, but we consider it a primary responsi- bility to seek out and recommend qualified candidates. The slowly changing financial status of all school per- sonnel is evidenced nation wide. A revision of our salary schedule during 1957 with a $3,800 minimum salary for a ocr- tiffed teacher, made it possible for us ~o compete successfully for able applicants. In the year ahead the School Committee may wish to study the established maximum salary of $5,000 ($5,200 for holders of the master's degree) because it is con- siderably below the rates being set in our neighboring eom- munities. It is our earnest hope that a salary schedule can be created which will attract able beginning teachers, hold our outstanding and irreplaceable experienced people, and provide an incentive for continuous growth in capacity and service for all. Our staff is increasing in size with the growth of our school population. We now have 67 teachers, supervisors, and administrators, two secretaries, the school doctor and school nurse, six custodians, 12 cafeteria workers, and five noon attendants, for a total of 94. A complete list of personnel changes for 1957 is included as an appendix to this report. THE SCHOOL PLANT This year saw ground broken for the new Franklin School, located off Andover Street. When completed in September, 1958, this new nnit will relieve overcrowded conditions in the Kittredge and Thomson Schools. It will be necessary to restudy and realign the four ele- mentary schooI districts in order to utilize the space and facilities in each building as efficiently as possible. Some cross- ing of district lines might very well beco~ne desirable in order to equalize class size, but our goal will be to assign pupils for 206 the common good in the interest of maxinmm efficiency of operation. Previous reports by the superintendent, high school prineL pal, the School Conmfittee, and the School Building Committee all have predicted a steady increase in future school popnlation. Our new High School is very nearly at its capacity at the present moment. In September, 1958, with fora' elementary schools in operation and over 1,000 pupils enrolled, there will be over 30 children in each of the 32 regular classrooms. Your attention is directed to these statistics to re-emphasize the need for continued study of our school housing needs in order that orderly long-range pl~anning may be effected. In addition to keeping abreast of school housing needs, thc School Committee must concern itself with adequate main- tenance of the existing school plant. Thc Committee now has a long-range plan of building upkeep, including periodic re- furbishing, which will protect the investment which the Town has made in its school buildings. We are grateful for the dedicated service of the Bnilding Committee and for the willing sacrifices of the townspeople which have made it possible for our children to reap the mani- £old benefits of school attendance in our excellent school plant. COST OF OPERATION The School Committee, with the cooperative participation of thc staff, prepares annually the public school budget. The philosophy which guides this work is simply stated: every effort is made to provide every reasonable necessity for a truly functional educational program within the framework of the ability of the Town to support its children in its public schools. The increasing size of our budget is of concern to all, and yet we eau only point to the obvious--our school enroll- merit is growing, our plant is expanding, and, therefore, our operating costs are mounting steadily. For every school dollar spent 67.8 cents is for teachers' sal.arles, 12 cents is for all other salaries, and the remaining 20.2 cents pays for books, supplies, operation and maintenance of plant, new and replacement equipment, and miscellaneous expenses. It is interesting to note that our gross budget, appropriated annually at Town 5leering, is always larger than our net operating cost. The Town receives substantial reimbursement for our schools from several sources, and this money, of course, reduces the amount of local support which is raised by taxa- tion. Our per pupil cost for 1957 was $267.48 which compares most favorably with the state average of $291.00. Your at- tention is directed to the appendices of this report for an analysis of our budget. 207 CONCLUSION This has been a year of continued progress in our schools. Citizens of the Town, through the several Parent-Teacher Associations and other community organizations, have shown increasing' interest in the public schoo}s and we acknowledge their participation with deep appreciation. It has been my privilege to work closely with many people in the past few months and I am grateful for the loyal coopera- tion of the staff and student body in our schools. I extend my deep appreciation and sincere thanks to each of you who serve so faithfully on our School Committee. The wisdom of your policy decisions is reflected daily in the harmonious operation of every facet of our pnblie schools. Respeetfully submitted, DOUGLAS A. CIIANDLER Superintendent of Schools 2O8 CHANGES IN PERSONNEL RETIt/E$,IENTS Miss Veva Chapman Mr. Charles I. Vincent 0n Jnne 30, 1957, two o£ our high school teachers retired. Miss Veva M.

Seniors Juniors Sopohomores :Freshmen ENROLLMENT AS OF OCTOBER 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1 0 3 2 0 78 72 76 86 91 78 78 92 100 80 99 102 126 194 100 112 129 196 181 337 361 402 510 576 The above figures clearly show the substantial increase in enrollment which has been forecast in past reports. For the year beginning next September, there will be a still further increase to something over 600 pupils. In my report of last year I had anticipated a reduction in the enrollment figures for September 1958 because of the opening of a new Regional I-Iigh School which Boxford students are to attend. However, I am now informed that this school will not be in operation before September 1959. CLASS OF 1957 Eighty students received their diplomas at the graduation exercises conducted last June. According to recent figures released by the Guidance Department, twenty-one of these students are now attending degree-granting institutions of higher learning while seventeen others are continuing their education beyond the secondary school IevcL Seven others are now in some branch of the armed forces while practically all others are engaged in gainful employment with various in- dustrial organizations. 210 Donna L. Ha~nilton Judith Knightly Douglas II. Morse Doug'las H. Morse Douglas H. Morse Judith A. Tetler SCHOLARSHIPS As has been customary in the past, several sehol.arships were awarded to deserving students at our graduation exercises in June 1957. Josephiue A.

AWARDS q~he following awards were nmde at our gra~luation exercises. Betsy Ross Chapter D.A.R.. Good Citizenship Award Judith Knightly S. A. R. Good Citizenship Award Robert D. Harris John McIntosh Memorial Award Judith Knightly IIarvard Club of Andover Award James Valliere (Class of '58) Science Award tterbert H. Whittemore, Jr. Typewriting Award Josephine A. Bonanno Valedictory Award Laura D. Curtis 211 SPEAKING CONTEST The ammal speaking contest, now known as the Annie Sargent Speaking Contest, was conducted on May 17, 1957. The $15. first prize was awarded to Robert Hoogerzeil, class ]958; the $10 second prize was won by Susan Roberts, class of 1959 and Diane MeDowell, class of 1959, was awarded the third prize of $5. ELEMENTARY GRADES Two elementary grades which had been housed in the high school since its opening were eliminated in September 1957. This was necessary because of the increased high school enrollment. They are now located in temporary quarters at the Kittredge and Thomson Schools. These temporary quar- ters will not be required, with the opening of the new Franklin School in September 1958. SELF-EVALUATION As mentioned in my last Annual Report the sel~ evaluation by members of the high school staff was completed early in 1957. On March 18, 19, and 20 a visiting committee of fifteen teachers, headed by Mr. John A. Small, Principal of Walpole High School, considered the evaluation made by the North Andover High School teachers and submitted a complete report of their observations to the local School Committee. It might be pointed out that the visiting committee was quite favorably impressed with the North Andover High School and in crae- tieally all areas evaluated, agreed with the ~udgment of our own staff. The visiting committee, as well as our own teachers, considered this project to be of high edueatlonal value. It is necessary ~or all institutions which are members of the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools to have an evaluation at intervals not exceeding ten years. At the annual meeting of this Association, held in Boston on December 6, 1957, and, as a result of the above mentioned ,evaluation, North Andover High School was approved for continued membership. Such approval places our High School 'in a select group of New England Educatio~ml institutions. ATHLETIC PROGRAM During' the past year the high school athletic program 'has functioned well. The basketball team of last year advanced 'to the finals of the State tournament while the football team ,completed a highly successful season, being defeated in ouly a single game. The baseball and track teams also did well and 'the girls' program of sports indicated the interest of a sub- 'stantiaI number of girls throughout the various sports seasons. We have been fortunate in having a staff of fine coaches who 212 have exerted a splendid influence on those under their super- vision. CONSIDERATION OF AN ADDITION Our present building was constructed to house 595 pupils. Next September, as has already been stated ia this report, our anticipated enrollment will exceed 600. In Sptember 1959 the enrolhnent figures will decrease because of the loss of Boxford students but, for the three succeeding years, our numbers will once more increase to a projected figure of roughly 675 pupils by September 1962. Our present building cannot efficiently t(ouse this number on a single-session plan. It is my considered opiniou that. parents are opposed to a two-session schedule snaee, under this plan, pupils cannot receive the edueat[ou to which they are entitled. Consequently, I feel that consideration should be given, in the not too distant future, to plans for an addition to the present, building. The year 1962 may appear, at present, to be some distance in the future, but, as the Building Committee and the School Committee are well aware, buildings are not created in a short space of time, since money mnst be appropriated at an annual Town Meeting, an architect must bc chosen and plans and speeiiScations must be drawn long' before the building begins to materialize. As an appendix to my Annual Report of last year, projected enrollment figures are given through the year 1964, at which time we will be required to house more than 700 students. CONCI~US1ON As I look back on the year just completed, I feel I can definitely say that it has been a successful year in all respeets. This has beeu due to the eeaseless efforts of all those in any way connected with our school, and to them I extend my per- sonal thanks for a job we]] done. Sincerely yours, ALVAIt G. HAYIgS Principal 213 A REVISED PROJECTION OF ENROLLMENT FIGURES FOR NORTH ANDOVER HIGH SCHOOL Present Em'olhnent in Elelnentary Schools (Oct., ]957) Public St. Michael's Boxford Total (Estimated) Grade 8 90 48 25 163 Grade 7 119 47 -- 166 Grade 6 139 64 -- 203 Grade 5 145 79 - 224 Grade 4 120 77 -- 197 Of the total numbers, ir is estimated that an overall figm'e of 85% will enter North Andover High School. This would project enrollmm~t figures as follows next three years in North Andover High: for thc 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 Grade 9 182 139 142 174 192 169 Grade 10 194 182 117 142 174 192 Grade 11 110 194 160 117 142 174 Grade 12 91 110 168 160 117 142 577 625 587 593 625 677 (Boxford pupils it is expected will leave in Sept. 1959) Now figuring a drop-out of 5% per year between Grades 9 and 10, Grades 10, 11 and 12 would produce the following projected eurolhnents: 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 Grade 9 182 139 142 174 192 169 Grade 10 194 173 112 135 165 182 Grade 11 l~0 184 140 106 128 157 Grade 12 91 104 148 133 101 122 577 600 542 548 586 630 The above table does not take into consideration the an- ticipated growth of the tonn. Assuming that thc pop~flation of North Andover will increase at the rate of 1.5% per year, and that the High School enrolhnent will increase at the same rate, the following figures result: 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 Grade 9 182 ]41 145 181 201 180 Grade 10 194 176 116 140 175 194 Grade ]l 1.10 187 ]44 112 135 168 Grade 12 91 106 153 138 108 130 577 610 558 571 619 672 214 EIGHTY-EIGHTH GRADUATION EXERCISES NORTH ANDOVER HIGH SCHOOLS Class of 1957 Veterans Memorial Auditorium, North Andover, Mass.

SARGENT MEMORIAL LIBRARY of the NORTH ANDOVER HIGH SCHOOL JUNE 1957 This year it became necessary to use the library as a study hall eight periods of the school week, thereby reducing the hours o£ library service available To students by 20%. I sincerely hope this will not be necessary next year and that we may again have the library as a library, not as a study hall. In the records we note a decrease in the number of stude~t visits to the library bec,q~se of this situation, but we see an increase in the nmnber of books circulated. We have added two splendid se~s o~ encyclopedias to our reference collection: The Americana (30 volumes), and the Britannica (24 volnmes). Our students are very fortunate to have these reference books for their use. The library no~v has five sets of encyclopedias. The school department has purchased 92 new books since September and 64 were purchased last June. Wc have received as gifts a total of 39 books, 25 of which were given by Miss Rnth Buchan, an alumna of the school and a library assistant here in ~954-55. We are very grateful to our friends for their contribution to our book collection. Our records show the following statistics: Total number of books borrowed 3,383 Total number of library permissions issued 5,648 June inventory shows the total number of volumes in the library to be 2,836 Library subscriptions to periodicals 19 We have been aided in our work by loan collections from the Stevens Memorial Library whose staff ~vork with us most cooperatiw~ly in providing both reading and reference material for our students.

At a Special Tow~ Meeting held on February 4, you extended~vonr approval to the reeomlnendations of the School Building Committee by raising and appropriating sums in thc amount of $465,000 for the eoustruction of a new elementary school on the 9-acre tract of land previously acquired for that purpose lying east of Andover Street and south of Rosedale Avenue. That sum, together with the $37,000 previously ap propriated, (including land) provided for a total cost of approximately $502,000 which was the figure contained in your Committee's original estimate and report. During' the succeeding months your Committee devoted a great deal o~ time and study to the selection of an appro- priate name for the new school. It was during this period that the Town suffered a grevious loss in the death of our esteemed associate, Francis J. O'Brie~, for many years our S~perin- tendent of Schools and a staunch supporter, throug'h, those years, of the rehabilitation of the Town's educational facilities. Traditimml educatim~al dfstinct~on as exemplified by the original Franklin Academy and the Town's subsequent ele- mentary school of the same name led to thc unanimous de eision that the new buildb~g should be named the Franklin School; and that the assembly hall therein should be dedicated to, and named in honor of, Francis J. O'Brien. Based on plans and drawings as prepared by the archi teetural firm of Adden, Parker, Clinch & Crimp, of Boston, general construction contract bids on the new school xvere received late in the summer and general contract xvas awarded to C. R. Burns & Son of Brookline. It is a pleasure to report that construction is proceeding in a satisfactory manner and at a satisfactory rate. The new Franklh~ ScbooI xvill be ready for occupancy well in advance of the school system's openin~ date in the Fall of 1958. And once again, even though for only a relatively short period of time, the over crowded eonditio:~s inour Public School System will be temporarily alleviated. It would be singularly b~appropriate to conclude tb~s report without some word as to the future. Public School enrollment figures are still rising; additional facilities will be required in the comparatively near £utm'e. Your School Build- ing Conmfittee is well aware of its obligations in this regard. But in the final analysis, and as we have previously po;nted out, they are your children, they are yom' schools, and the 242 decision is yours as to the educational facilities and oppor- tunities which you may wish and be willing to provide for the present and prospective school children of this, our Town of North Andover.
