MEMO TO BOARD OF SELECTMEN. In recognition of the observance one year ago this week of our Centennial Celebration I am sending to you this eom- munieation, the contents of which will be inscribed on my records: North Andover was incorporated 101 years ago this month. One year ago we eelebrated gaily, appropriately, and enjoyably, our Centennial. Let us reminisce for a moment; let us not forget those who have gone from our midst, those who worked aud labored so hard in the past 101 years in order that we of all faiths might have spiritual and cultural development here in our Community. North Andover is connected by highways, airways, and rail with Boston, Lawrence, Lowell, Haverhill, and many other cities and towns in the Merrimack Valley, which includes within its forty-mile radius a population of over four million. The Tow-n has the third largest area in the County of Essex. Xorth Andover's easy access to large cities and its friendly people, its municipal, civic and fraternal organizations, explain in part the phenomenon of its being one of the fastest growing communities in the state. North Andover, with its open town-meeting form of gov eminent, has its general election on the first 5[onday of March, followed by its Annual Town Meeting on the second Saturday of March, each year. The future grow[h and progress of North Andover are assured, if the Community continues to follow the democratic teachings and ideals of the people. So let ns of North Andover continue to pray togetheL work together, remain united in thought and action; thus we will transmit this Town of North Andover to our descendents not less, but greater and more beautiful--than it was transmitted to ns. Change is taking place at an accelerated rate, and so perhaps it is better to let years pass before attempting to record and evaluate them. JOHN J. LYONS, Town Clerk North Andover, Mass. 41 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING JUNE 30, 1956 Veterans Auditorium -- High School ARTICLE 1.

Thc year 1956 was a very busy year, our Annual Adjourned ?own Meeting being postponed on two successive Saturdays due to severe storms. The long meeting in June of the re¥ised Zoning By-Laws, the big meeting in November for the new school site and appropriations for same--the numerous other Special Town Meetings, all this along with the four elections held during the year kept this part time position of Town Clerk a busy one. The meetings themselves could be classified as routine-- if one is able to classify any Town Meeting. Moderator Arthur Thomson's knack for summing up all arguments and asking for a vote on the issues contributed immensely to shortening the meetings ~o but one session each. Your Town Clerk must admit that on this part-time posi- tion, that because of the wonderful cooperation, assistance and help in all the handling responsibilities and duties connected with elections given by ~Ir. Patrick Cronin, Fred McCormack, John McDuftie, our Board of Registrars, the guidance and team work of the office of Veteran Town Clerk George Winslow of Andover, the office of Town Clerk Vern Sanborn of Methuen and City Clerk Joseph Smith of Lawrence, the burden of this job was immeasurable enlightened. To all these folks, and to our own Town Officials, Town Boards and Town Committees, ~he £olks o~ the Town Building, Town employees and Towns- people I am most grateful for the spirit of friendliness and genuine helpfulness that marked all our transactions. A comparison of the results over the last six years 1950-56 shows both the approximate percentage and directions of the town growth on the voting lists. 1950 1956 Precinct 1. 1017 1143 126 12.3% Precinct 2. 1519 1855 336 22.1% Precinct 3. 1194 1479 285 23.8% Precinct 4. 1390 1785 395 28.4% TOTAL 5120 6262 1142 66 80 YEARS SERVICE The year 1956 saw the completion of 80 years combined servlee for the four members of the Board of Registrars.

Twenty- three old services were either wholly or partially renewed. The new and renewal services equalled one and seven-tenth miles of pipe. One htmdred and two new meters were installed and two hundred and twenty-seven old meters, including twelve frozen meters were inspected and repaired. There were thirty-four service leaks, six main joint leaks, one split twelve- inch main (Bradford Street) and one hydrant broken by an automobile. All hydrants were inspected as usual and repaired where necessary. The annual inspection and repair of almost eight hundred gate valves and valve boxes in thc system proves to be most worthwhile in thc quick and easy location and operation in an emergency. A drain of eighty feet of five- inch vitrified clay pipe was installed from the altitude valve chamber at the million gallon standpipe on Bradford Stree~ to a lower elevation. Sixty-feet of two-inch galvanized pipe was installed frmn the smnp pump discharge at the North Pumping Station to Lake Coehiehewick. The saturator tank on the sodium fluoride equipment at the South Pumping Station was replaced with a stainless steel one and the twenty- five year old boat used for patrolling Lake Coehiehewiek was replaced with a new one. 90 ()ne hundred and thirty-one boat registration plates were issued and one hundred and ninety residents were granted permits to boat and fish in I, ake Coehiehewiek. Enforcement of the regulation of the State Department of Public Health for preventiytg the pollution and securing the santiary pro- teetion of the water of I~ake Coehiehewiek, source of the town's water supply, has become serious with the increasing use of the lake for recreational purposes and the develop~nmtt of the shores for housing and other uses. The reservoirs were inspected by the County Engineer as required by the General Laws and round to be in satisfactory condition. Constant bacterial ex- aminations of the water have been made by the Department of Public Health and the water found to be satisfactory. Annual inspection of the double cheek valve installed between the public water supply and other sources of supply for industrial use only have been made in cooperation with the Department of Public Health of the (1ommonwealth. WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM REPOlgT Camp, Dresser and McKee, Consulting Engineers of Boston, were engaged to make an engineering investigation to deter- mine what reinforcements were necessary in the main part of the water distribution sys[em to permit the utilization of the new north pumping' station in snpplying maximum demand rates iueluding the reqnirements for fi~'e protection by the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association. Water from thc uorth pumping; statim~ can enter the main portion of the distribution system only through 6-inch pipes on Sutton Street, (Jhadwiek Street and Prescott Street and an 8 inch pipe on I~sgood Street. When the north station operates and the altitude valve at the 1 MG standpipe closes, excessive pres- sures are built up due to the above limiting pipe sizes. The maximum 24-hour demand is est/mated at 3 MG for 1.957, 4.3 MG for 1965 and 5 MG for 1980. In order to supply the estima ted maximum 24-hour demand of 3 MOD in 1957, it will be necessary to take water throughout the 24 hours from the proposed new wells or I~awrenee at 1 MGD aud to pump during the daytime at 2 MGD from both pumping stations or it ~vill be necessary to pmnp 24 hours from the south station at 2 MGD and during' the daytime at2 MGD from the north station. The following rei~foreements to the distribution system are required to meet the above pmnping requirements: ESTIMATED COST OF PIIOPOSED MAINS~ Initial Oonstrue~io~t Program Sutton Street--front Osgood St. to High St. 3,000 ft. of 12-in. $41,500 Higt~ Street--from Suttou St. to Prescott St. 2,000 ft. of 12-in. 27,700 Bostou& Maine tlailroad Right- of way~rom Prescott SI. to Chiekering Rd.

The report points out that the 3 MG distribution reservoirs on Sutton Hill and the 1 MG standpipe on Barker Street provide adequate storage. The report states that the pumping equipment at the north and south station is also adequate but that to meet the present demands for water in the distribution system the recommended reinforcements should be made immediately. WATER EXPANSION PROGRA3~ Under the Three Hundred Thousand Dollar expansion program authorized by Article 1 of the July 1954 Special Town Meeting the North :Pumping Station on the site of the former ice houses on Great Pond Road was completed by the 92 Total for Second-Stage Program Fire Proteotion--Stevens Mill Pleasant Street~rom Osgood St. to Stevens St. 2,000 ft. of 12-in. $2¢,30o Stevens Street--from Pleasaut St. to Harkaway Rd. 1,000 ft. of 12-1n. 15,200 14,000 $85,900 I~. C. Cyr Constructiou Company of Lawrence, the low bidder. Grading and surfacing the area, placing the chain link fence and gates and thc oil heating system were also included in this contract. Two two-stage De Laval IIorizonta] Centrifugal Pumps connected to General Electric 125 HP, 440 volt electric motors with General Electric controls were instal]ed in the station by the Turbine Equipment Company of New England, the low bidder. A Waukesha gasoline engine was connected to an extended shaft of one of the DeLaval Pumps. Two Fischer and Porter Chlorinators, a Builders iron Foundry fluoride feeder, an Omega Lime Feeder, a Venturi Tube and Register and two vacuum pumps and tank along with the necessary piping and wiring were also installed by the Turbine Equip- ment Company. A public inspection on October 21, 1956 was attended by many townspeople who expressed their approval and appreciation of the North Pumping Station as well as the entire $300,000 expansiou of the town's water supply system. ADDITIONAL WATER SUPPLY Camp, Dresser ami MeKee, Consulting Engineers of Bos- ton, were engaged to conduct the survey and report on an additional water supply for North Andover authorized by town meeting action on January 18, 1956. A study of the present water consumption and safe yield (3.93 mgd) of Lake Coehiehewick, the source of the present supply, as well as the limitations on use by the town was made. Seven alternate plans for obtaining an auxiliary water supply were investiga- ted as follows: (1) ground water from Boston Brook, (2) ground water from Mosquito Brook, (3) surface water from Stiles Pond, (4) surface water from Parker River, (5) ground water from Shawsheen River, (6) surface supply from Merri- mack River, (7) ground water front Merrimack River. The first three sources would not yield adequate supplies, the fourth wonld be expensive for the limited yield and the tests of the fifth were not promising. The sixth, the Merrimack-River, must have adequate treatment but offers the town a prac- tically inexhaustible water supply. The seventh, ground water frmn the Merrimack River, was recommended by Camp, Dresser and MeKee for the development of about one million gallons a day of good quality water by means of two gravel- wall wells. The estimated cost of the two wells, puatping and water treatment facilities and a 1g-inch main along the Boston and Maine R. R. right-of-way, Clark Street extension and Clark Street to Osgood Street is $192,400. This would provide the additional one million gallons of water per day required to supply the already existing demands of the town. 93 SEWER DEPARTMENT The North Andover Sewerage System is designated to flow in three divisions, the East Side Drainage Area with its trunk sewer following Cochichewick Brook from Lake Cochi- chewick to the Merrimack River; the West Side Drainage Area with its trunk on Massachusetts Avenue and along the Sha~vsheen River to the Merrimack River; the Central Drain- age Area bounded by Waverley Road, Middlesex and Water Streets, with trunk sewer on Waverley Road, Water Street, and Main Street to the Merrimack River. There are twenty-three and fifty-six huudredtl~s miles of main sewers in the North Andovcr Sewerage System with sixteen hundred and sixty-six house connections.

The contract for the East Side Trunk Sewer was awarded to the Ehn Construction Company of Dedham, Mass., the low bidder, under Article 53 in accordance with the 1955 survey and report of Camp, Dresser and MeKee, Consulting Engineers of Boston. Seventeen hundred and forty feet of twenty-seven inch concrete pipe and eight mac, holes were placed on Stevens Street from Harkaway Road and along the westerly shore of Stevens Pond to Pleasant Street. The existing old stone cnlvert between Stevens Ponds, found to be in very poor condition, was replaced with dual forty-eight inch concrete pipes in order to provide a sound foundation for the East Side Trunk Sewer. Twenty-six sewer connections, totaling fifteen hundred and eighty-three feet were laid between buildings and main sewers. Seventy-nine particular sewers, most of them blocked by roots were eleaned. All main sewers were flushed and cleaned in the spring as usual while twenty-two main sewers partially 94 blocked by roots were inspected and cleaned several times The eighteen-inch sewer on Harkaway Road was cleared of roots through the cooperation of the Ilaverhill Public Works Department because of the lack of proper equipment in our department. On account of the reconstruction of Sutton Street from Marblehead Street to Main Street, seven manholes were repaired and the frames aud covers raised to proper grade. Attention has been dii'ected each year since 1937 to the growing illegal use of the sewerage system for ground and surface water drainage. The North Andover sewerage system was designed and approved by the Department of Public Itealth of the Commonwealth, and constructed as a separate system making' use of small diameter pipes and high velocity flow for sanitary drainage purposes only. Surface drains have been installed by the town in many locations and should be in many others, and at sufficient depth, to take care of ground and surface water drainage. WEST SIDE TRUNK SEWER SU}~VEY Under Article 56, Camp, Dresser and MeKee, .Consulting Engineers of Boston, engaged to make the eng'inecring study, reported as follows: Summary The proposed comprehensive sewerag'e system for the West Side Drainage Area as shown on the accompanying map will serve by gravity an area of about 1120 acres, and by pumping an additional 130 acres to discharge in Turnpike Street'south- east of Hillside Road. The plan includes a trunk sewer starting on Beechwood Street at Massachusetts Avenue, replacing the existing 8-in sewer in Beechwood Street, running cross-country and along Shawsheen Avenue and Greene Street up to Waver- ley Road. From this point a branch sewer will run up Wood Lane to serve the area east of Wood Lane and an area south- east of Chickering Road. The trunk sewer will run along' Waverley Road and up Turnpike Street to the vielnity of Hillside Road. Other branch sewers from this main linc will serve all of the remaining areas in this West Side Drainage Area. The total estimated cost of eonstrnetion of the entire eomprehenslve plan as shown ou the map, exclusive of alter- nates, exclusive of sewers and the pumping station southeast of Hillside Road, is $1,409,700. The total length of sewer in- volved in the plan is approximately 87,760 ft at an estimated average cost of $16.10 per lineal foot. The proposed initial construction program is marked by cross-hatched lines on the aceompanylnk map. The total esti- mated cost of the initial construction program is $137,600. 95 Estimated Cost of Initial Construction Program Estimated Cost Trunk Line from Massachusetts Ave., up Bccchwood Street, cross-country, along Shawsheen Ave., up Greene Street to Waverley Road $83,700 Additional cost to repair drainage ditch 1,500 Waverley Road (from Greene St. to Margate St.) 24,020 Greene St. (from Waverley Road to Mass. Ave.) 11,950 Wood Lace (from Waverley Road to Woodstock St.) 16,430 Total $137,600 Our estimates indicate a total assessablc froutage of 117,620 ft for the eo~nprehensiv¢ sewerage plan as shown on the map. The total cost per foot of assessable frontage is thus about $12.00. If the town wishes to pay for two-thirds the cost by means of betterment assessments, the required betterment assessment rate would be approximately $8.00. This is a $1.50 per foot increase over the rate of $6.50 as deterlnined in our East Side Drainage Area Report of 1955, which reflects both the considerable length of large size pipe required and the increase in construction costs since 1955. SCHOOL GROUNDS DEPARTMENT Under the provisions of Chapter 80 of the Acts of 1954, the care, improvenmnt and maintenance of school department property, exclusive of school buildings, was assumed at that time. The areas involved are as follows: Bradstreet School- 1.20 acres, Thomson Sehoo1---2.99 acres, Kittredge School-- 6.57 acres, Johnson High Sehool---1.57 acres, North Audover High School---28.73 acres, a total of 4~.06 acres. The parking areas and the roads at the Iligh School except those in front of the building were treated with Barrett Rode- Rite Asphalt and covered with pea stone to provide a per- manent surface. One hundred and ninety feet of six-inch drain pipe and one catch basin were installed at the outlet of the sub-drain at the end of the football field to take care of' the drainage there. A steel flagpole was located between thc foot- ball and baseball fields. Loam, grass seed and a large quantity of fertilizer were placed on the basebaI1 and football fields. A practice football field and the football game field were marked out and maintained for the High School games. Per- manent steel goal posts were erected on the football game field. Areas for the pole vault, bond jump, high jump and shot put were laid out and constructed adjacent to the game foot- ball field and inside the cinder track. Portable bleachers for 1300 persons, supplied by the School Building Committee, and the bleachers from Waverley Playground were erected for the football gaines. Extra bleachers for the North Andover 96 Thmchard game were supplied throngh the cooperation of the Andover Public Works Department. A field hockey playing area was also laid out and maintained. Basketball standards, provided by the School Department, were installed at the Thomson School and at the Kittredge School. All school grounds were maintained as usual. PARK DEPARTMENT The Park system now consists of the Center Common of 3.2 acres, Training Grounds of 1.9 acres, 5Iemorial Park of 2,7 acres, Old Burying Ground of 1.1 acres and the smaller His- torical Society Plot, Farrington Burying Ground and twen%y small plots at street intersections, a total of over ten acres. All the above areas were maintained as nsuah The Phillips Brooks Statue on the Center Common was floodlighted at Christmas. Considerable necessary tree trim- ming at the Center Common and Memorial Park was done by the Ajax Tree Experts. The impossibility of properly 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 recom- mended that ether sites be secured for playgrounds if the present parks developed over the past thirty years by the town, the North Andover Improvement Society, the Garden Club and private persons are not to be damaged and their attractiveness destroyed. PLAYGROIYND DEPARTMENT The recreational areas in the Playground System now con- sists of Grogans Field 4.7 acres, Drmnmond Field 5.0 acres, American Leg'ion Bathing Beach. 1.4 acres and Waverley Play- ground 4.7 acres, a total of 15.8 acres. The above areas and the playgrounds equipment were maintah]ed as usual. Special work was done as follows: Drum- mond Field--an all steel slide with stainless steel bedway and a set of six swings were set up: Grogan's Field--the shelter over the sand box was rebuilt. The baseball field was main- tained especially for the North Andover High School teams because the baseball fields at the High School were not in acceptable playing condition. Waverley Playground--the Little League backstop was rebuilt. The American I~egion Beach was operated from June 25th to September 1st from 9:30 a. m. to 8 p. m. with two life guards ahvays present. The life guards were Red Cross graduates. Swimming classes for over 300 children were conducted by instrnctor Walter A. Coreoran. The annual swimlning meet, sponsored by the Vet- erans of Foreign Wars, Post 2104, held on August 26 attracted 97 many entrants and over 200 spectators. Over 300 tons of sand were spread over the beach while the water in Stevens Pond was lowered for the construction of the East Side Sewer. The examination of [he beach by thc Department of Public Health of the Commonwealth showed the bath-house and toilet facilities to be adequate and that the water was of suitable quality and safe for private bathing. The cooperation of all other town departments is grate- fully acknowledged and particular thanks is given for the generous assistance of Highway Surveyor Ira D. Carry and Tree Warden John J. Connors during a year which has been one of expanding aetivlty. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM B. DUFFY, Superintendent.

Circulation 74,951 books, including periodicals and pamphlets, were circulated front the library in 1956. This is an increase of 3077 over the nnmbcr issued in 1955 and is the largest circulation 108 iu the history of the library. There was a gain of 1709 in the ~dnlt department and of 1368 in the children's room. 1058 records, 743 pictures and 4 maps were loaned. Book 8took 1047 adnlt books and 214 children's books were added (110 adult books and 99 juvenile books were discarded, making the net gain 555, with a total of 24,960 books in the library. 153 of the added volmnes were gifts. Record Collection 66 records were added and 16 were discarded, thus making the total number of reeords 420. Gifts We are a'rateful to those who have given books to the library. Some have formed the habit of giving memorial books, which serve as a lasting memorial to loved ones. Donors of books include the following people: Mr. and Mrs. William Andrews, George R. Barker, Frank Blood, Ruth E. Buchan, Buchanan Charles, Johu H. Fenton, 5Irs. Gertrude Gogan, tt[averhill Public Library, Mrs. N. S. Hunting, Mr. and 3~rs. T. F.

Public Library Film Cooperative The library film cooperative begun i~ October 1,955 has been useful to groups who have planned programs. This is a service by which we lend 16 mm sonnd films, many of them in color, to any group which has a projector suitable for showing them. There is no charge for this service. This fall, by a joint agreement with the Lawrence Public Library and Memorial Hall Library in Andover, we have extended our services to residents in those places, provided the films which we have ou hand are not iii use by our townspeople. This has proved mutually satisfactory, as we are enabled to borrow from their collection for our residents. Catalogs of the fihns available through April 1957 may be secured upon demand. During 1.956, 44 fihn titles have had 136 showings with an attendance of 6672. Registration of Borrowers 368 adult borrowers and 301 children were registered. 82 adults' and 91 children's cards were cancelled, making a total of 3147 adults and 1276 children, who are borrowers, a grand total of 4423. 109 Children's Room Activities The children's room has had a constant throng of children, There have been 18 pre-school and 18 reg'ular story hours. Average attendance at pre school story hours was 16, while an average of 43 children of the first five grades have attended regular story hours. There have been eight film showings, on the third Saturday of each month except dnring the summer. Mrs. Forman made 73 visits to g'rades in the schools. She had 12 meetings of !he vacation readin~ club--The Book a Week Club-- which had an active membership of 125. She took part in a panel discussion on children's reading a~ a Thmnson School PTA meeting; talked about books for children at a meeting of the Bradstreet School PTA: was Chairman of a discussion group at the spring meeting of the Merrhnae Valley Library Association; ~old stories for children al, ~he Andover Girl Scouts' camp; and took part with 3Irs. Dexter Walker of the Parents' Kindergarten hq a meetiu,o' for parents at this library where suitable books for children were discussed and lists of reeom~nended books were distributed. Other Staff Activities Mrs. King' and Miss Batehelder have attended previews of flhns ab libraries belonging to the public library film operative; they attended the meeting of the New England Library Association at Swampscott. Miss Ba*ehelder is Presi- aleut o~ the 2'[errJmac Valley Library Assoeia[ion and has at- tended all of its meeting's. She has given book reviews when requested. Library As A Meeting Place The work room and the chitdren's room have served as a place of meeting for committees of many community organi- zations. There is no charge for th~s use but it is necessary that the meetings end soon after nine o'clock so that the janitor may not have to stay too long. 2'leerings in the children's room have to be held in the evening, since the room is used in the afternoons. Book Collections in Schools There were fewer books circulated from schools in 1956 than for several years. This is partly because we have dis- continued sending a central collection to the I£ittredge school to be distribnted to bus pupils weekly. This is because the teachers pre£er to lend the books from the classroom direct in order not to interrupt the schedule. There has been a request for library service at the Community Center but it can not be undertaken on a satisfactory basis until we have a larger staff and a bigger book appropriation. 110 New Janitor Gordon W. Timmons has succeeded William It. Coram as building custodian. He has proved efficient and helpful.

(1955 State Census) Respectfully submitted, MARION F. BATCHELDER Librarian In submitting the foregoing accountings and the report of Miss Batehclder, the trustees are gratified to be able to point to the continuing progress of the library and the increasing' demand for library services. These advauces are iudicated by the fact that in 1956 we had the largest circulation in the library's history, amounting to 74,951 books. Another measure of library effectiveness is the number of registered borrowers in relation to the population of the com- mm~ity. According to the American Library Association, a local commnnity library ranks very well if thc registered borrowers represent 30% of thc population. The excellent record of the Stevens Memorial Library is shown by Miss Batchclder's report: 4,42~ persons, representing 46% of the North Andover population of 9,362 (January 1955 census), were registered borrowers at the end of 1956. The 74,951 books circulated in 1956 represent an increase of 3,077 over the previous year, an increase of more than 4%. 11.2 Comparing the number of books eirculate¢l in 1.056 with the circulation of 1~)52, which was 54,338, it is fonnd that the eireu]atlon has increased 375-{ in the last five years. The increase in circulation and the large proportion of borrowers are most encouraging in regard to the cultural state of the town, and they will necessitate a request for an increase in our appropriation to cover the cost of additional personnel and library equipment. There has been no comparable increase in our staff during this period of great expansion, and Miss Batehelder and her assistants are now severely handicapped in attempting to cope xvith the great volume or'work. It must also be stated that the time is rapidly approaehing when our library building will have to be enlarged, to aceomodate the growing collection of books and to provide working space for the increasing number of readers and students. An example of the congestion in the shelving of books is the fact that the new floor of stacks provided in 1953 by the generosity of the late Mary Osgood Stevens Tyler (Mrs. John F. Tyler) is now almost filled to capacity. Plaus for the enlargement of the building are under way. If it becomes necessary for the trustees to ask the town for an appropriation for an addition to the library building, the citizens will have the satisfaction of knowing that because of the philanthropy of the late Hon. and Mrs. Moses T. Stevens, the present building cost the town nothing and that its repair and upkeep have been paid for mainly out of our endowment funds. Most of the improvetnents in the building and most of the new equipment, as well as a great many of the books, have also been bought from the endowment funds. These factors, combined with careful managemeut by the trustees, have re- sulted in excellent library service for the town at coinpara- tively small expense for nearly half a century. ~mong the gSfts re~.eived in 1956, the donors of ~vhieh are listed in Miss Batehelder's report, eertaln items must be individually mentioned. ~"irst among these is a copy of THE TENTH MUSE, the first publication of Anne Bradstreet's poems, printed in London in 1650. The pnrehase of this ex- traordinary little book was possible only because of the gen- erosity of many contributors, ineludiug ]l~[rs. H~gh Bullock of New York, Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan Charles, Mrs. T. G. Hazard of Boston, Mr. Edmund F. IJeland of Brookline and North Audover, 2~lrs. James F. Moore of Essex, 3Iass., Dr. aud Mrs. Horatio Rogers of North Andover, Mr. Robert D. Stevens and 5Ir. Samuel Stevens, both of North Andover, and Miss Eliza- beth Wade White of Middlebury, Conn. and Oxford, England. The trustees feel that they have been particularly favored iu having bee~ able to interest a nmnber of persons who had 113 had no previous connection with North Andover in contribu- ting to this purchase solely because they believed that in the interests of American history and culture the public library of North Andover should contain a work of such great impor- tance written by a resident of the town, This also applies in the ease of thc Anne Bradstreet manuscript, contributions for which were received frmn such noted book collectors and philanthropists as Mr. Clifton Waller Barrett of New York and Mr. Lessing J. Rosenwald of Jenkintown, Pa. Owing to the purchase of THE TENTIt MUSE, we now have copies of all the editions of Mrs. Bradstreet's poems. Another very important acquisition is also closely con- cerned with hooks in relation to North Andover. It is a n~anu- script, named "5~lr. Stephen Barker's Book of the Laws and the Catalogue of the Books and Library in Andover, made the 4th of April A. D. 1772". It was presen*ed to the trustees by Mr. George R. Barker. the senior member of our board and a direct descendant of Stephen Barker, the original owner. This book]et of thirty-two pages seems to be the earliest record of a eommmfity library in the history of Andover and North Andover. It also appears to be the manuscript pertaining to the An~low, r S~'cia! L!brary, or another copy of the same text, ~o which Miss Sarah L. Bailey refers in her HISTOI~ICAL SKETCIIES OF ANDOVER (1880), p, 531. She states that "Three catalogues of this library (Andover Social Library) are in existence, one a manuscript, date 1770, one printed 1823, one 1837." The two?ear discrepancy between the date of our manu:cript, 1772, and the date of 1770 given by Miss Bailey may have resulted from an error of copying' on her part, siuce the passages she quotes are substantially the same as in the text of our manuscript. The Andover Sociai Library, which existed for at leas~ seventy years seems to have been the forerunner of the North Andover Public Library, which opened in 1874 and became the Stevens Memorial Library in 1907. According to Miss Bailey, the Social Library was at one time kept in the store of ~r. Phillips, at another in the store of Nathan Frost, and that Capt. Phineas Stevens once had it in charge: The catal- ogue of 1772 lists about one hundred twenty-five works, under headings of Divinity (which included Jonathan Edward's FREEDO3/[ OF WILL), History (including Mather's MAG- NALIA and, to satisfy the local interest of that time in the Moslem world, a LIFE OF MAHOMET), Philosophy, Geogra- phy, Military, Law, Physick, Agriculture, Poetry, and Miscel- laneous, the last inch~ding two novels, CLARISSA HARLOW and CHARLES GRANDLqON, also several volumes containing issues of TIlE 8PECTATOI~ and THE CONNOISSEUR. 114 This little catalogue of the Andover Social Library, about 33A by 6~4 inches iu size, written in a clear, bold hand, and now one hundred eighty-five years old, is greatly treasured by the trustees, in whose care Mr. Barker has placed it. From Mr. Abbot Stevens of North Andover we received a collection of documents connected with the presentation of the library building to the town in 1907 by his grandparents, the late Hon. and Mrs. Moses T. Stevens. In addition to the books and papers received, there were several contributions to our Special Gifts Fnnd, including $5,000 from the Nathaniel and Elizabeth P. Stevens Founda- tion. We also call attention to the three additional large paint- ings added to our indefinite loan from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. One, in the registration room, is of the celebrated stone bridge built in 1685 at Chioggia, a town on the Venetian lagoon. Another, in the librarian)s ofifiee~ is a view in Dart- moor Forest in England, showing several of the wild Dartmoor ponies. The third, in the reference room, is a panorama of the Gulf of La Spezia on the west coast of Italy, done by Henry Newman, a friend of Ruskin's who collaborated with Ruskin on the illustrations of THE STONES OF VENICE. In ,:onelusion, the trustees express their appreciation of the excellent work of !~fiss Batehelder and her staff, who in spite of inadequate personnel, have maintained a standard of service, the high character of which is indicated by our having had in 1956 the largest circulation in the history of the library.

MURPHY, Chairman RAYMOND BROADHEAD JOHN A. McNIFF BERNARD BINGHAM IRVING C. HOWES 118 REPORT OF CIVIL DEFENSE Recently the state and federal officials evaluated by in- spection every community Civil Defense organization in the Commonwealth of Mass. In this survey, North Andover's office of Civil Defense was ranked as one of thc highest i~x the entire Commonwealth. In the past year we have auglnented our communications network so that we now have or can have every department in the town tied in to our central communications system. We hare continued ~nd expanded the training of our auxiliary police forces, and these forces now render daily service to the community on a volunteer no pay basis, directing traffic at the school crossings which require police attention, as well as Church traffic o~ Sundays. These forces have been twice during the past year instrumental in coping with "crime wave" situations in cooperation with your local police and fire departments. The auxiliary fire personnel regularly support your local fire department, and most answers to alarms find members o~ the auxiliary fire department answering along with regulars. We have obtained various equipment through the surplus properties program'and have current requests in process for additional valuable eq~dpment which is receired at no cost whatsoever to the town. We have a p~blic air raid warning system in the final stages of planning which will provide siren type warning throughout the more settled areas of the town. We are receiv- ing valuable support from such local industries as the Davis & Furber Machine Co. and the Western Electric Co. on this program. We are also appreciative of the support of the School Committee and School Building.Committee in conjunction with this program. Your Civil Defense Director has himself enrolled in courses of a highly technical level in the field of radiology and we are fit ~he process of setting up a radiae service, or service for monitoring for radioactivity and for supervision of decontami- nation of food, water, and personnel. We are eontinnally moving ahead following the basic idea of a maximum state of readiness to operate in the event of any major disaster at a minimum cost to the community. The amount of equipment which we have obtained at no cost to the town exceeds that purchased by town funds by better than 2 to 1 at this point. 119 We have a. mutual cooperation program with Civil Defense officials in Methuen for fihn loans and have shown a nnmber of films at various local group affairs. We are also cooperating with Methnen C. D. officials in manning a ground observer corps tower. The spirit of cooperation and unselfish devotion to duty displayed by C. D. volunteer personnel is a credit to them and their community. These people serve without reward, and in many cases subject themselves to privation and sacrifice to do so. A typical example to this devotion to duty is Mr. Lloyd Bauchman Sr. who arrives home from work around seven each morning. He then washes, and dons his auxiliary police uniform to direct traffic in front of the Bradstreet School while the children arc arriving. Then he retires, sleeping until afternoon, when he again arises and directs traffic at thc same location while the children are leaving. He currently has no children in school. This type of unselfish sacrifice and devotion to the prin- ciples of Civil Defense service and preparedness as such are demonstrated over and over again, well deserve the deep and sincere appreciation of a grateful community. In spite of the widening scope of responsibility imposed upon us by the laws and the increasing overhead of this de- partment, we have stabilized our budget at a very rnodest, abnost ridiculous level of $1,500 per year. We have reached the 90% level of readiness required of us by higher commands and expect to reach the 100% level sometime during the coming year. No report to you on the progress of Civil Defense would be complete without and invitation to each of you to become a part of our team in some capacity which yon are fitted to fill. To use the Civil Defense watchword, "Alert Today--Alive tomorrow ?' Respectfully submitted, DEWEY A. DYER, Director, Civil Defense 120 REPORT OF ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR Board of Selectmen North Anlover, Mas~s.

THOMSON Electrical Inspector REPORT OF THE RECREATION COUNCIL This year was the tenth year of supervised playground activities under the guidance of the Recreation Council. The 1956 season was very snccessful under the supervision of one supervisor and six instructors, who were well qualified to carry out the work assigned to them. There were 20 girls and 14 boys who applied for positions for the 8 week period on the playgrounds. 95% of them had good qualifications which made it a difficult problem for the Council to select the best qualified for playground ~vork. The playgrounds were opened on Monday, July 2 and were closed for the season on Friday, August 24. Approximately 121 400 children were registered at the three playgrounds who enjoyed the recreation activities. Trips were made in chartered busses to picnic grounds, etc., and a special trip was made to the Boston Red Sox game as guests of the club. In 1953, the Recreation Council presented to the then Board of Selectmen, for the town to create a playground in precinct 2 on land which was taken for taxes and obtain a clear title. A new playground will now be established in 1957 for precinct 2 for the enjoyment of the children in that district. The Recreation Council is very appreciative of the interest taken by the town officials in making this become a reality. This is the fourtk season that the car sticker system was used for the parking of cars at the Bathing Beach under the supervision of the Recreation Couucil and the Police Depart- ment. Approximately 1000 stickers were issued to car owners of residents of North Andovcr. This years instrnctors were: Supervisor: Norranne Ma- honey, 57 'Davis Street; Drummond Playgronnd: Joan Wilson, 27 Wilson Road, Richard Lunge, 35 Walnut Avenue; Grogan Playground: 'Josephine Bonanno, 34 Lincoln Street, George Haigh, 42 Lincoln Street; Waverley Playground: Paula Wey- mouth, ll Commonwealth Avenue, Robin Munroe, 59 Water Street; Substitutes: Carol Ackroyd, 40 Marblehead Street, Dougqas Stevenson, 10 Robinson Court. 'Thc Recreation Council wishes to express their apprecia- tion for thc cooperation given them by the Police Department, the Board of Public Works and all the citizens of the town of North Andover.

Total funds transferred lo the Treasurer amounted to $950,646.11 a~ increase of $110,814.08 over 1955. This is an all t~me high for taxes collected in North Andover and would indicate that the year 1957 would see us top-the million dollar mark for the first time. As the tax rate remained at $54.00 per thousand, the increased funds collected indicate an increase in value of assessable properties and also an increase in value of registered automobiles. Perhaps a word should be inserted here relative to the growing importance of the antomobile excise taxes. In the year 1946, excise collections amounted to $9916.15. In 1956, just ten year later $91,058.16 in excise funds were collected. The uncollected balance of Motor Vehicle excise is due primarily to a commitment received several days before Christ- mas amounting to $8,514.87. Because of the holiday season, it is understandably difllcult to collect these funds by the year ~3I The uncollected balance of Chapter 80 Betterments is to be apportioned over 10 and 20 year periods and wil! be col- lected as part of the annual real estate tax bill. As al! taxes have been collected for the year 1955~ thc town will be reimbursed 331/3 pcrccnt of the cost o£ the' col- lector's bond. Respectfully submitted, JAMES It.

(Adopted by the Board of Selectmen, January 13, 1947) 13.9 HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT Because of the heavy snow storms during March, April and again in December, emergencies were declared to take care of the accumulated snow. Every available piece of equipment was used to keep the roads open for travel and all main roads were plowed as soon as any amount of snow had settled. During the December storms, ice on the roads was very hazardous and this required much sand and salt. The entrances to all public buildings, churches and stores were cleared of snow and sanded. Sand boxes have been refilled when emptied and many new ones placed at intersec- tions. Snow fences were placed in the country and have elimi- nated many snow drifts along the hiM~way. Snow equipment has been repaired and painted. These streets were oiled and sanded: Brook Street, Farn- ham Street from Brook Street to Farnham residence, Chestnut Street from Hillside Road to Greenwood's residence, Bixby Avenue, Wiley Court, Margate Road, Dale Street, Walnut Avenne, Marbleridge Road, Abbott Street, Bradford Street, Wood Lane, Tyler goad, Pembrook Iload, Woodbridge t~oad, West Bradstreet Road, Sawyer Road, Mifflin Drive, Edmunds Road, Barker Strec. t, Prospect Street, Moody Street, Bright- wood Avenue, Beacon Hill Boulevard, Longwood Avenue, Rosedale Avenue, Pleasant Street from Stevens Street to Great Pond Road, and Great 'Pond Road from Stevens Street to Marbleridge Road sanded and honed, as was also Middlesex Street and Linden Avcnne, Concord Street, Lexington Street, BunkerhilI Street, Princeton Street and Camden Street were also treated with MCR. Article 32, 1954--Article 41, 1955--Chapter 90 ~. L. Highway Construction ~reat Pond Road This project was completed last year except for some of the work which had to be done this year. The trees were cut back which widened the road considerably and cable guard rail and cement posts were installed. The road is now eom- pleted £rom the jnnetion of Great Pond Road and Osgood Street to the Boxford Line. Article 36, 1955- gidewalk Project At the close of 1955 the balance of this project was carried forward as there were a few sidewalk applications on file. The applications which were received too late in the season will now be carried over for this Spring a~ there is yet a balance in this appropriation. 140 .Article 44, 1955- Extend Drainage System on Prescott Street This drainage system was completed on this project last :year, but this Spring it was graveled, rolled and oiled. The work on thin road is now completed from Summit Avenne to Moody Street. Article 45, 1955 -- Extend Drainage System on Linden Avenue The balance on this article xvas carried over to this year 'as there was some work to be done to complete the project. One additional cross-drain was installed and the road graveled. roiled and oiled. Later on in the season the road was again treated with a second application of tarvla. .Article 47, 1955- Install Drainage System on Waverley Road E. V. DelDuea Construction Company was awarded the .contract in 1955 to install a surface drain on Waverley Road. Most of the drainage was completed last year but a cement spill-way was installed and the road graveled and oiled this :season. Article 53, 1955 -- Extend Drainage System on Prescott Street Chapter 80 General Laws Under this article the drainage system on Prescott Street was extended on Moody Street. ~l'his project was completed last year except for some cross drains which were laid this year.

Highway Construction The -project nnder State anrt County appropriatious ~vas not started in 1956. After many meetings, a decision was reached to reconstruct Dale Street instead of Greene Street. This agreement was made too late in the season to start any work, but with the appropriations of this year, Dale Street should be emnpleted. Article 36, 1956 -- Chapter 90 O. L. Highway Maintenance With the money appropriated from the State and County, Sutton Street from the Lawrence Line to Buttons Corner was hot-topped with Type I mix. This work will be eontinned this year as far as the money will allow is appropriations are made from State and County funds. Article $9, 1956- Painting and Replacing Street Signs Several new street signs were made this year and many were replaced in more eonsplcious places. Some of the signs were broken, others ripped off posts. These had to be repainted and in some eases new ones had to replace these because of 1heir condition. 141 Bara, Andrew Black, Charles Carty, Ira D.

The insect pest condition this year has been from fair to good, There was some feeding by the Elm Leaf Beetle, Fall Web Worm, Tent Caterpillar. We have noticed an increase in these pests in the last two years. The Elm Bark Beetle that spreads the Dutch Elm Disease has given us the most trouble over the last few years. We have sprayed ail our street trees and have sprayed the Elm trees twice, one dormant and one foi]age, to control these pests. This department also has done $142 worth of private spraying. TREE DEPARTMENT We arc st~ll removing and triming trees that were damaged in the hurricane of 1954. Requests were granted for the removal of thirty trees and we also removed a number that had died during the year. Trees on a nmnber of streets have been eared for by removing dead wood, trlmlning, and removing low hanging branches. Sixty trees were planted--some replace- ments, some at new homes. There is a large demand for trees at new homes, and we hope to be able to take care of this in 1957. We did the usual brush cutting, most of the work being on our narrow country roads and bad corners. The work in the Town Forest consisted of release cutting and trimming pine. This was the first year we did any Poison Ivy spraying, there being a new State law permitting this. We sprayed the streets of the town, and being able to go 100 feet off the public way, we sprayed a number of back yards. There were places that had to be re-sprayed, but the results were satisfat'tory. DUTCH ELM DISEASE We sent 164 "suspect samples" to the ~niversity of Massa- chusetts Shade Tree Laboratories to be cultured~ and of this number, 130 had the disease. There were nine diseased trees 151 left from 1!)56, a~d these trees have been removed and burned. There are some Beetle infected trees standing that must come down before the fifteenth of April, so as to prevent the spread of this disease. As previously stated, we sprayed the Elms twice to try and control the Ehn Bark Beetle that causes this disease.

E~r]y discovery of tuberculosis is a great factor in reducing the incidence of the infection. Therefore, case finding is most important. Statistical reports have shown that a high incidence is four.d in a so-called food-handler group. All North Andover food-handlers are required to have a chest x-ray annually, and this y~,ar 266 persons in this group were x-rayed. A fo]low-np of close contacts of Positive Patch Test Reactors, found in the School Patch Test Program was made. Sixty-nine adults were x-rayed and 44 children patched. No evidence of active tuberculosis was found in either program. Four patients were hospitalized for tuberculosis. Three were discharged (1 well arrested, I inactive, 1 without medical consent).'

Four applications for re-classification of which three were den]ed, and one was approved. 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. 169 An entire revision of the North Andover Zoning By-Law was undertaken by the Planning Board during the year 1954 and said revision, upon completion, was subsequently approved by the Town at a special Town Meeting held on June 30, 1956. Also at this speciaI Town Meeting the Town authorized the Planning Board, under the provisions of Section 701, of the Federal Housing Act, to enter into a contract with the Massa- chusetts Department of Commerce for Federal Planning Assistance. During the year the Planning Board met with various Town officials and Boards on Town zoning matters. A total of five Public Discussion Hearings were held, two in the Kittredge Auditorium, and three in the High School Auditorium. The Board wishes to thank the officials and citizens of the Town for the fine co-operation given the North Andover Plan- ning Board during the year 1956. Respectfully submitted, NICHOLAS F.

CHARLES W. TROMBLY, Chairman FRED C. ATK1NSON MI~S. TOM F. INGRAM WILLIAM F. ROCK FRANK D. ASIIBURN 171 1956 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS December 31, 1956 Mrs. Ingrain and Gentlemen: This is the 102nd Annual Report submitted to the Town by the School Committee (the 61st prepared by a superin- tendent of schools). GROWTH As in every year of the one hnndred and one preceding, North Audover has continued to grow. In this it has been like the great country of which it has been a significant part. The growth of popnlation has beeu steady. School enrollments, here as elsewhere, are related to population, but the rate of growth follows a cyclical pattern of /ts own. The total en- rolhneut in all grades in the public schools, which began to fall off in 1932, is now catching up With population; high school enrolhnent exceeds five hundred, the maximum at John- son High, which was arrived at in 1941. You should give close attention to the projection of en- rolhnents in Grades 9-12, ~nade for this year's report by Prin- cipal Alvah G. Hayes. His tables indicate that the time is not more than font or five years off when a considerable addition to the high school should be begun. The maximum capacity of a high school cannot be accurately represented by one number, no matter how carefully computed. From the floor area of the classrooms you might infer that the capacity of our school is 750 pupils. The high sehooi curriculum of today eon- tains ninny studies from which a pupil may select his o~vn program. The classroom period that serves the dozen pupils in French 3 is just as full, to the eye of the program maker, as if there were forty pupils there. Eighty per cent of the theor- cticai maxhuuu~ is the best you can expect your principal to take care of: that is, no more than six hundred. Determination and experience sometimes enable a principal to do what Mr. Ilayes used to do in Johuson--exeeed the theoretical maxi- mmu. This is a tour de force not to be counted on. CURRICULUM There is the additional alii]lenity now of a program far more complex than it was ten years ago. North Andover High is no longer--as it and all other high schools were fifty years ago--the school of the intellectual elite; it is a set, eel that aims at serving "all American youth." It makes about forty per cent of its pupils ready for higher education; it prepares the 172 majority to take their places immediately .in the community as informed and, we hope, patriotic citizens of this democracy. The public high school is sometimes criticized as falling short of the ideal particularly by failing to arouse and challenge the brilliant students as they were aroused and challenged by the Latin and Greek, the French and the German, the mathematics, the physics and the chemistry that these pupils were compelled to study a generation ago. Discipline and challenge are now found, one critic says, only on the athletic field. High school teachers, who know the situation best, will not concur. No one would say that the curricular millennium is at hand: mtmh remains to be done, and especially for the brilliant pupil. To meet this need a new course in English has been set up this year, Vice-Principal John V. Donovan being the teacher. Only pupils selected according to ability and previous achievement are admitted, and these pupils elect the course, knowing that a far greater amount, and a much higher quality, of work will be required than in the prescribed English of the senior year. Whether the course will be continued and whether it will be a pattern to be followed at lower levels and in other fiields are questions we hope to answer after evalu- ation. Mr. Hayes and Mr. Donovan both report favorably on the attitude and the aeeomplshment of the pupils who have chosen the more arduous way. SELI~' EVALVATION This is the second and final year of self-evahmtion of the high school, carried on by the faculty with the help of the New England Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. In 2March the visiting committee o~ the Association will spend t~vo of three days in North Andover. As in all school work, the true reward has been the stimulus to our facnlty. In closing I will thank, as usual but in no perfunctory way, custodians, clerks, teachers, and principals for a year's work well done. Let me thank you members of the School Committee for the hours you have given to your duties, and let me con- gratulate you especially on the last business of 1956--the revised schedule of teachers' salaries. Respectfully subnfitted, FRANC1S J. O'BIIlEN Superintendent of Schools IN MEMORIAM EDGAR BROWN BEAL Teacher of Music 173 CHANGES IN PERSONNEL Ella M. Taylor, Clara Chapman, Edgar Brown Beal, Mary C. Boyle--these are the people whose services we lost in 1956; we have recruited Margaret E. Brown, Florence K. Collins, Mary Ann Maynard, Albert F. Perrault, Jr.. Leslie Christison, Eileen Donovan, Catherine DeLaney, Mary Clare Milan, Mar- garet Hurley. RETIRED In June Miss Ella M. Taylor, teacher of the third grade at the Thomson School, retired. For many years she taught the fifth grade at the Merrimack School. Her first assignment in North Andover was in the second and third grades of the Bradstreet School. Miss Taylor has unusual and sympathetic insight into the minds of children. She is a "strong" teacher, but her pupils were so happy in working nnder her direction that they were seldom aware of the control she always exer- cised. The School Committee filled this vacancy happily by acceding to the request of Helen Friel. M.Ed.. for a transfer from the sixth grade at the Thomson to'the third. In the Annual Ileport of 1918 Superintendent of Schools Dana P. Dame wrote: "Last April we were extremely fortunate to secure Miss Clara A. Chapman, a teacher of excellent scholarship and of experience, to carry on our C01lrses in seieuee." So began a career that ended in December 1956, when Miss Chapman chose to retire. At no time during those years did any one who knew Miss Chapman ever doubt the justice of Mr. Dame's words: North Andover boys and girls were ex- tremely fortunate in this scholarly and devoted teaoher. Those of ns who taught when to maJnt~ain discipline was the prime qualification of the good teacher will Mways remember the effortless perfection with which Miss Clara could restrain the unruly. Her successor is Thomas L. Regan, B.A. (P'rovidenee College), who comes to North Andover with two years' ex- perience in teaching physics and chemistry at the high sehoo} m Lenox. Miss Mary C. Boyle, who taught one of the elementary classes in the high school, resigned to be married. Her successor is Ann Hiekey, A.B. (Merrimack College), who taught at the Kittredge School dm'ins 1955-56. 174 NEW TEACHERS The Town has been fortunate in the new teachers of 1956- 57, all bnt two of whom had previons experience. Besides Mr. Regan, there is Margaret E. Brown, B.A. (B.U. College of I, iberal Arts), who taught for many years in the high schools of Lawrence and Merrimae. Florence K. Collins, B.A. (Merrimack College), taught for a year in the Acton High School. Albert F. Perrault, Jr., M.Ed. (Boston College), came to North Audovcr from the S~lem (New Itampshire~ High School. Leslie Christison, B.C.E. ~Massaehnsetts Institute o~ Technology), was for many years chemist and executive in the service of the American Woolen Company. He has decided to devote his abilities to the canse of education. He is a brilliant mathema(ieian; I confidently believe that he wi]l be a brilliant teacher. Eiieen (Mrs. John V.~ Donovan, first-grade teacher at the Kittrcdge, is a gradnte of Lowell Teachers College, with mneh experience in the primary grades o~ Lawrence and Middleton. ~Ier hnsband is the Assistant Principal of the North Andover High School. Catherine DeLaney, B. S. (College of New Rochelle), now assistant teacher at thc Kittredge, had six years' Kindergarten experience at St. Peter's School, Poughkeepsie, New York. Mary Ann Maynard, B.A. (Merrimack College), now Prin- cipal IIo~vard's assistant at the Kittredge School, is a Johnson t]igh School graduate, with a fine record in school and college. Mary Clare Milan, B.A. (Merrimack), is sixth-grade teacher and arithmetic Specialist at the Thomson School. She tanght in Barre and in Middletou. She comes of a family o£ teachers: her sister, Miss Ann Hickey, teaches thc fifth grade at the high school; her aunt, Mrs. Harold Page, teaches the fifth grade at the Thomso~ School; her mother, Mrs. Leo Hickey, teaches the third grade at the Kittredge School. Margaret Hurley, M.Ed. (New England Conservatory of Music), has come the longest distance to join the North An- dover teaching staff. Miss Hurley is a native of St. Albans, Vermont; she taught for two years at Essex Junction. She receipted her B:A. from McGill. 175 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF NORTH ANDOVER HIGH SCHOOL January 4, 1957 To the Snperintendent of Schools: I submit to you my twenty fifth annual report for the North Andover Hi,th Schools. ENROLMENT AS OF OCTOBER 1 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 P.(]. 0 I 0 3 2 Seniors 71 78 72 76 86 Juniors $0 78 78 92 100 Sophomores 78 80 99 102 126 Freshmen 92 100 112 129 196 321 337 36l 402 510 it appears that the cnrolment for next year will be aronnd 570 and that in September 1958 there will be a decrease in our numbers, due to the opening of the Regional High School which Boxford pupils will then atteud. At present we have about 55 pupils from Boxford and next year this figure will be increased by about 20. Ill it was not for the opening of this Regional High School in September 1958~ we would at present, probably be in the process of plamfing an addition to our own school. Such cousiderafion may now, however, be postponed for a few years. CLASS OF 1956 At our graduation exercises of last June, seventy-six pupils received their diplomas. Of this number, according to figures from our Guidance Department, twenty-three entered four- year, degree-granting colleges al~d eight entered schools of other than college grade, to continue their education. As might be expected, a substantial nmnber entered the various branches of the armed services. Fourteen of these ~raduates are now in the Army, the Navy, or the Marines. Of the remainder~ prac- tically all are gainfully employed. SCHOLARStIIPS As has been eusto~narv in the past, several scholarships were awarded at our gra&~ation exercises. The list of these is given below. Robert Abbott $100 Trinitarian Church School Scholarship Burgess Brightman 50 Methodist Youth Fellowship Scholarship 176 Virginia Briguglio Raymond Chadwick Samuel Galvagna William Greenler Charles Hutehins Luke May Martha Roberts 100 U. 7,. W. Auxiliary and Post No. 2104 Com~nerical Scholarship 50 Methodist Youth l%llowsh]p Scholarship 200 Boston University Club of Greater Lawrence 200 Boxford American Legion Post No. 379 Boxford Scholarship 200 Helen S. Carvell Memorial SehoL arship (awarded by the N. An- dover Woman's Club) 100 St. Michael's IIoly Name Society Scholarship 200 Gladys C Sullivan Memorial Scholarship (awarded by the N. Ando~'er P.T.A. ) The Dr. Edward W. A. Holt Memorial Scholarship of $250 was equally divided between Robert Kellan and Elsie Thomas, graduates of recent years. The award was made in this manner because no member of the graduating class of last June planned to study medicine or some closely allied field. It is only for this purpose that the scholarship is to be used. This scholarship is made available by the North Andover Board of Trade. AWARDS In addition to scholarships, several awards were made at our graduation exercises. The awards and recipients follow: John Melntosh Memorial Award Frances Broderiek and Norman Heinze Typewriting Award Josephine Bonanno S. A. R. Good Citizenship Award Dennis Currier D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award l*ranees Broderiek Science Award H. Elliott Pahner Harvard Club of Andover Award George Haigh (Class of ~957) ANNIE L. SARGENT MEMORIAL SPEAKING CONTEST On May 29, 1956 the ammal Annie h. Sargent Speaking Contest was conducted in the school auditorimn. Eight pupils 177 participated for cash prizes. The judges awarded the prizes in the following manner: 1st prize of $15.00 Richard Moody Class of 1956 2nd prize of $10.00 Dorothy Stansel Class of 1957 3rd prize of $5.00 Claire Oskar Class of 1958 PUBLIC L'SE As has been pointed out in previous reports the present high school contains facilities which have long been needed in our community. During the past year these facilities, particu- larly the auditorium and gymnasium, have been used by many community groups and organizations. The School Department welcomes this use and trusts that the facilities will, in the future, be in even greater demand. CUSTODIANS It may seem unusual in a report of this nature to make comment regarding the school custodians. However the staff of custodians is a highly important factor in any public build- ing. We are very fortunate in having three men who take great pride in thc appearance of our building. They work under a plan which staggers their hours of duty and I am pleased to report that they keep our large building spotlessly clean. They are also at aH times courteous to, and cooperative with, both teachers and pupils. PERSONNEL CHANGES Because o/: the large increase in our enrolment this year, it was necessary to add four teachers to our staff. These new members are assuming their duties in a eompe*,ent and efficient manner. 3/Irs. Margaret Brown, a graduate of Boston University, and a teacher of long experience was elected to teach classes in English. 3/[rs. Florence Collins is now teaching in the general areas of science and mathematics. Mrs. Collins came to us with one year experience in the Acton High School. She holds thc Bachelor of Science Degree from Merrimack College. i~r. Albert Perrault, a graduate of Holy Cross College was elected to teach in the tSelds of science and business. A wcaney in the field of mathematics was filled by Mr. Leslie Christ. ison. Mr. Christison is a graduate of M. I. T. · On December 3~, 1956 Miss Clara Chapman, teacher in the field of science, retired, after over 38 years of service in the 178 North Andover school system. Miss Chapman will long be re- membered by the many pupils who attended her classes during this period as a sincere and devoted teacher whose calm yet forceful manner won her the respect of all. A teacher of her caliber is most difficult to replace. PRACTICE TEACHERS During the past year, in cooperation with various col- leges, we have offered classroom experience to tlve practice teachers. These teachers have been under supervision of regular members of our staff and we feel that the experience gained by them has been highly valuable in their training. ELEMENTARY GRADES Since the present IIigh School was opened in September 1954, it has been providing rooms for two elementary grades, because of the overcrowded conditions in the public grammar schools. We have now, however, reached the point where our own enrolment is becoming sufficiently large so that these rooms will not be available for elementary school classes after June 1957. The present capacity of our building is slightly under 600. Projected enrolment figures for the year beginning Sep- tember 1957 indicate that there will be about 570 pupils in the high school classes. Incidently a projection of enrolment figures for the high school for the next eight years is contained in an appendix to this report. EVALUATION For the last year and a half' the personnel of our school has been involved in an evaluation of our facilities and curricu- lum. In B~arch 1957 this evaluation will have been completed and a visiting committee of 12 to 15 teachers and school ad- ministrators from other communities will come to our school for a period of two or three days to check the validity of our self-evaluation. Following their visit, they will provide our School Committee with a report of their findings and obser- vations. As members of the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, it is necessary for us to eonduet such an evaluation at intervals not exceeding ten years. ATHLETIC PROGRAM This past fall we used our athletic fields for' home football g'ames, for the first time. The facilities, on the whole, seem to be excellent. However, there would seem to be two additions to our setup which would be highly desirable. One of these relates to additional scaring eapaeity. Consideration should probably be given in the not too distant fiitnre, to a second 179 set of bleachers, to accommodate 1,000 to 1,9.200 additional spectators. This fact became obvious at our game on Thanks- giving Day, 1956. The second additiou relates to a .,mall permanent bmldmg to be used as a refreshment stand between halves of our football games. The present setup, in this respect, is very inadequate. The girls' athletic program has been expanded under thc direction of Miss ttarriet Dunham, to include field hockey. This additiou provides three sports, in season, for our high school girls. The boys' athletic proyram is qnite extensive and includes football, baseball, basketball and track, with Junior Yarsity and freshmen teams in some of these sports, as well as the Varsity teams. The entire athletic prog'ram is under the super- vision of Mr: Howard Crozier who is ably assisted by Mr. William Laroehelle, Mr. ttarwood Steele, 5Ir. ,Joseph Lynch and 5Ir. Albert Perrault. All of these men are members of our teaching staff. CONCBUSION It is always gratifying to be able to report that a successful year has been concluded. It is our feeling that the high school program offered at North Andover High School is a well rounded program, prox-iding the opportnnity ~or our boys and girls to be trained and educated as upright future citizens of our commmfity, and to prepare for advanced education in the training schools or colleges of their choice. In order to eomplish tlfis end it is essential that we secure the cooperation of all those connected with our school system. This ranges from the pupils on through the School Committee. I am happy to report that we have, this year, as in the past been blessed with this cooperation. Sincerely yours, ALVAH G. HAYES Principal APPI~.I~IDIX PROJECTION OF HIGH SCHOOL ENROLMENT FIGURES In making a projection of any enrolment figures for sev- eral years in the future, it must be understood that there are seven'al variable or "X" factors in the equation. Among these variable factors are (1) percentage of eighth grade put>lie school pupils who will enter North Andover High School, (2) percentage of St. Michael's elementary pupils who will enter North Andover High School, (3) popdation increase over a ]8O period (ff years, (4) pnPils now'in elementary Schools whose parents will move from tow~ prior to their entrance in North Andover High School. In making projections of this nature, only past experience eau be our guide. Consequently the fol- lowing projection is made on such a basis but includes only those pupils now in the first eight grades. SEPTEMBER 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 Grade 9 172 121 138 179 188 162 170 173 Grade 10 186 14.4 115 131 170 179 154 162 ~rade 11 120 152 ~37 109 124 161 170 146 Grade ]2 95 99 144 130 104 118 153 161 573 516 534 549 586 620 647 642 The above projection is based upon the assumption that $5',~ of the eighth grade graduates from the public and paro- chial schools will enter North Andover ttigh School and that there will be a drop out of 5% of pupils each year between grades. The 1958 projection is based upon the assumption that Boxford students will at that time be attending their own high school. The above figures do not include the increase in our enrohnent which will be dnc to the gradual growth of our community. The fol]owbW table does take into consideration the antiei pared growth. 1957 1958 1959 1960 1901 1962 1963 1964 Grade ~ 175 125 144 190 202 177 188 193 Grade 10 189 149 121 139 183 195 171 182 Grade 11 122 157 144 117 134 177 188 164 Grade 12 96 103 151 139 113 129 171 182 582 534 560 585 632 678 718 721 The table immediately above is projected on the assump- tion that the population of North Andover will increase at the rate of 1.5% each year. The reason this rate of increase is used is due to the fact that during the last 10 years our population increased by 14%. This is an average iuerease of 1.4% per year. It is assumed that in the future a slightly higher rate of increase will prevaih It is possible however that this rate of increase may be substantially higher. 7Purthermore, in the pro~ .jeetion, it is assumed that the rate of increase in the high school population will be the same as the rate of increase for the Town as a whole. 181 EIGHTY-SEVENTH GRADUATION EXERCISES NORTH ANDOVER HIGH SCHOOLS Class of 1956 Veterans Memorial Auditorium, North Andover, Ma~s.

Many students have also come to read the magamnes and books for their own pleasure. During the years we bare added to our library collection. Fifty-four books were given by friends of the library and forty-three were purchased by the school department. We are very grateful to the Clarenbaeh family for their gift of a new eighteen volume World Book Encyclopedia. This was a mem- orial gift in memory of their father, 5ir. P. William Clarenbaeh. We are, as ahvays, greatly indebted to the Stevens Mem- orial Library for the loan of both fiction and reference books. Our records show a very large increase in the number of library permission slips issued and also in the number of volmnes borrowed by the students. In the year 1954-55 our. records showed the following: Total number of books borrowed 1530 Total number of library permissions 4126 in this year of 1955-56 our records show the following: Total number of books borrowed 2304 Total nmnber of library permissions 7286 The June inventory shows that the library has a book collection of 2298 and subscribes to fifteen periodicals.

Ten years ago your School Building Committee began i*s work with a request for an appropriation to build the ,~ddition to the Thomson School. It concluded the year 71956 with the request for an appropriation to build a new elementary school iu the area betueen Andover and Chestm~t Streets. I The Anmml lReport rot 1955 acquainted you with the statistics of overcrowding in Grades 1-8. Dr. Charles E. Reeves' Report on Public Selnool Building Requirements was also in- eluded in the A~mnal Report. The booklet mailed to yon just br~forc thc Special Town Meeting of November 26 acquainted you in fulI with the reasons for selecting the site recommended. At the Annual Towu 5leering for 1958 you approved the article to provide lights outside the high school for the parking spaces and the approaches. The athletic field is now in use: for the first time in more than a decade the Thanksgiving Day Garne with Punchard was played in North Andover. Your loyal support of the proposals of your School Build- ing Committee has made ten years and ]67 meetings seem a brief and very satisfying interlude to the undersigned, four o~ whom have been members since 1946.
