LIBRARY REPORT

Hours open per week 22^ Total circulation for 1963 30,465 Total circulation for 1962 30,404 Increase over 1962 61 Adult fiction 8,162 Adult non-fiction 6,651 Juvenile fiction 6,118 Juvenile non-fiction 7,930 Magazines 1,604 Largest monthly circulation-—October 2,640 Smallest monthly circulation—August 2,195 Average daily 120 Percent of fiction .465 Volumes purchased in 1963 383

The circulation is approximately the same as in 1962 but the percent of fiction read has decreased by 4%. This is always gratifying to report. The percent of fiction read ten years ago was 68%. Much of the non-fiction is read by the children and young adults and the demand for it is increasing each year. There has been some decrease in cir- culation since September, due in all probability to the opening of the new library at the high school. However, more adult readers are using our facilities each year so we hope to main- tain the present circulation or better it during the coming year.

National Library Week was observed in April and many new children's and young adult books were put into circula- tion. Posters were on display and appropriate bookmarks dis- tributed.

In July a six-week summer reading program was held and twenty-eight children from grades 4 through 7 were enrolled. The theme this year was ''World Traveler" and much interest was shown in the many^ foreign countries read about, 74

The program ended with a party which was attended by twenty-two children. At this time charts were completed and achievement ribbons awarded. Following a round table dis- cussion about favorite books and the countries each would like to visit, refreshments were served by the librarian. On four Monday mornings during this period a two hour class was held for the sixth and seventh graders enrolled, to teach them how to use the library and its tools. Much interest was shown by the children.

On July 29th, the librarian went to the University of New Hampshire, on a scholarship given by the New Hampshire Fed- eration of Women's Clubs, for a three week course in Public Library Techniques. The two courses elected by her were "Reading and evaluating children's books" and "Library services for Adults". Both proved to be extremely interesting and helpful. Mrs. Marion Yarno Avas in charge of the library during this period.

Li October the librarian spoke at the District Meeting of the New Hampshire Women's Clubs at Dublin. She also spoke at two meetings of the local club.

During the year Miss Patricia Smalley and Mr. Dorsey Belden have had art exhibits at the library.

National Book Week was celebrated November 10-16. A book sale was held and approximately $10.00 was realized Fifty books of elementary and high school level were put into circulation during this week. Appropriate posters and book marks were purchased for this special library week. We welcome the bookmobile about every ten weeks and our readers are always happy to know of its arrival. The bookmobile librarian, Miss Alice Carter, is most helpful and we are extremely fortunate to have this service. It affords the librarian and the borroAvers an opportunity to see and read books that otherwise would be just "titles in a catalog"; due to the fact that the present library budget will not buy the number of books it formerly did—the cost of books having risen approximately 80% in the past ten years. A substantial increase in the town ai^propriation is needed if we are to 75 adequately serve the demands of our reading public, particu- larly the young adults and students in the fields of education and science.

The library continues to be a "study hall" each evening and the reference section is a busy place. The majority of the students are courteous, there is no serious discipline problem and the librarian appreciates this and enjoys working with the young people. Each year we welcome the "small ones" and help them to know what fun and adventure can be found in books.

At this time the librarian wishes to thank the Board of Trustees for the help and cooperation given her during the past year. She also wishes to thank those who have given books and magazines to the library. They are greatly appreciated.

Please visit your library. It needs your interest and sup- port.

Respectfully submitted, SYLVIA E. FLETCHER, Librarian

During the examination of the high school boys' athletic groups, 20 pupils received tetanus and diphtheria toxoid injections.

Vision examinations were done in the spring and fall for 742 pupils and 42 referrals were made for defects.

There have been 16 cases of mumps, five of impetigo, and six of German measles reported or seen in the schools this fall.

This report includes the work done by Mrs. Anne Matus- zewski, who so kindly took over the nursing duties during three weeks of December.

REPORT OF THE GYMNASIUM- AUDITORIUM STUDY COMMITTEE

The gymnasium-auditorium study committee met for the first time in October, 1963. We decided that our primary task was to investigate the need for a gymnasium-auditorium. In looking into the needs, we took into consideration present gymnasium-auditorium facilities, future building needs of the school, future building needs of the town, and the indebtedness of the town.

We have consequently concluded, based on our research, that, in 1965, a gymnasium-auditorium combination is feasible, to be built on the west side of the present high school.

In conclusion, as a study committee formed under Article 11 of the March 1963 School Warrant, we have studied the school need for a gymnasium-auditorium in the town of Hins- dale.

We have been unable to obtain actual costs, as that would require the services of an architect and there were no funds appropriated for this.

REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

To tlie Superintendent of Schools

I liereAvith submit my third annual report as principal of the Hinsdale Elementary School.

On September 4, 1963 ^ve enrolled 479 pupils in grades

Iv-S. This is an increase of 23 pupils over the enrollment on the first day of school in 1962. However, the high point dur- ing the year has been 489 pupils enrolled. In order to make adequate plans for class size and placement of pupils we will have pre-school registration in June. We anticipate an en- rollment exceeding 500 pupils in September 1964.

There have been some changes in our teaching staff this year. In July a vacancy occurred in our staff with the untimely death of Mrs. Israel Kacanek, teacher of grade four. This was a great loss to our school for we all recognized

]\Irs. Kacanek as a wonderful teacher, devoted to her profes- sion and the children she Avorked with during the school year. Other teaching vacancies occurred when Mrs. Brandt assumed the position as art instructor for Winchester and Hinsdale School Districts and Mrs. John Baldassaro moved to Hills- borough where Mr. Baldassaro took a position with the Hills- borough School District.

New members on our staff are as follows

7 and 8 Social Studies—Mr. Napoleon Benoit who was formerly a teaching principal and has worked for several years as an underwriter in insurance.

7 and 8 English—Mr. Richard Callahan who received his degree from Keene State College in 1963.

Kindergarten—Mrs. Esther Bailey changed from 7 and 8 English to kindergarten. 131

Music—Mrs. Azalea Wilson was hired to teach elementary music, thus making it possible for Mr. Joseph Norton to spend more time with instrumental music and chorus.

Art—Mrs. Edith Brandt is teaching art to all grades.

Grade 4—Mrs. Roger Chapman was hired to teach grade four. She has taught for several years in Vermont.

As the year progresses I feel that we have an excellent faculty, working together in their effort to maintain the

high standard of education that is so much in evidence within our elementary system.

Our curriculum is much the same as last year with im- provements in all areas. At the present time our primary en-

rollment is larger than it should be for maximum learning and I feel the addition of a primary teacher will help to al-

leviate the teaching load, thus making it possible for each teacher in this area to spend more time with individual in- structon. The departmentalized program in grades 5—8 is continuing to operate with excellent results. As I indicated in previous reports, departmentalization in no way impedes the opportunity for individual instructon and tends to strengthen our curriculum.

Our reading program is operating very well and all possible means are being employed to better prepare our boys and girls in this area. Many times parents are concerned with this phase of education and they can and should enhance this area by directing their children to the library and motivat- ing them to read as often as they can. Good reading is measured in all areas of learning.

Due to the large enrollment in grades 7 and 8 we have limited our manual arts and home economics instruction to grade eight pupils. This year boys and girls in grade 8 are going to the high school for two classes per week.

Under the supervision of Mr. Richard Neilsen, our chil- dren are increasing their activities in physical education. We do not have the needed space nor equipment for indoor sports, but we are taking advantage of all facilities available. In the 132 fall we had intramural leagues in several sports. Teams were organized from grades 5—8 to play other schools. During the winter months grades 7 and 8 will receive basketball in- struction on a limited basis and several of our youngsters will receive instruction in skiing. In the spring our regular intramural program will get underway for all boys and girls.

4 We have received new science books for grades —6, new social studies books in grade 3 and additional reading books in grades 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 and new music books. It has become necessary for us to purchase ncAv furniture to meet our increased enrollment.

Through the National Defense Educational Act new science equipment has been purchased. This year we have a new tape recorder, and Vu Graph to be used by all grades as needed.

Our music program is one of the best in this area and through the combined efforts of Mr. Norton and Mrs. Wilson our children are offered a wonderful opportunity. At the present time elementary children make up the largest part of the senior band.

During National Education Week the school held open- house and several parents visited our class rooms. We sincere- ly hope parents will make appointments with the teachers during the school year to discuss the progress of their children.

The PTA again sponsored field trips for all grades and many happy children departed for a new experience through the generosity of this helpful organization. Grade 8 visited the Boston Museum of Science as a high light trip for the termination of their elementary education.

Testing was carried on as usual with all results being used in grouping our children within their grade level. Grade 8 results obtained through the New Hampshire Testing Pro- gram provided us with needed information for counselling and placement within our high school curriculum.

Our school lunch program, under the management of Mrs. Helen Bouchie with assistance from Mrs, Hortense Stephens, 133

Mrs. Elsie Williams, Mrs. Elizabeth Butler and Mrs. Elizabeth Bordner has been providing excellent lunches for both the

elementary and high school. This is a health program that we must continue to support for the benefit of our growing chil- dren. Class A lunches only are served with nutritional values that comply in all ways with the Department of Agriculture specifications.

Mrs. Richard Bradbury has taken a real interest in the health and well being of our children. We are all grateful for the assistance she has given us at school.

Mr. Andrew Paduchak has maintained our school very efficiently during the A^ear. We all take pride in the appear- ance of our school.

I wish to express my sincere thanks to all staff members, board members, the Superintendent, pupils and parents who have helped make the school year a sucess.

Respectfully submitted, PAUL CHRISTIANSEN, Principal K -8 : :

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

To the Superintendent

I am pleased to herewith submit ray third annual report as Principal of Hinsdale High School

The report will encompass the activities and changes that have transpired at this School from February 1963 through January 1964.

Last June the High School awarded twenty-seven diplomas

to its graduating class. These young people served to better our school traditions and to further enhance its reputation. Among the graduates were the following

Mary Ann Benoit Donna Beth Larabee Paul Armand Blanchette Linda Jane Lucier Jacqueline Ann Bordner Meredith Ann MacDonald Albert James Bouchie Joseph Adolph Mecheski Carol Anastasia Bruce Teresa Jean Peleeh Sharon Marie Burdo Geraldine Elizabeth Preston Linda Maud Fales Mary Ellen Reddin Clara Marie Finnell Patricia Jean Rouillard Larry Dennis Finnell Norman Frederick Sevigny David Averell Foster Barbara Ann Sherman Carol Ann Gove Edwin Orson Smith Joseph Leland Johnston Barbara Rae Tupper Gregory Langton Kendrick Randall Clarence Willette

Patricia Mary Wo j chick

The class did much to raise the academic standards of the High School, and it was indeed encouraging and stimulat- ing to find that approximately 52% of our graduates Avent on to post-High School educational institutions. Our young people found their way to such other schools as Keene State College, Northampton Commercial College, the Thompson School of 135

Agrieulture at the University of New Hampshire, the Mary Hitchcock Hospital School of Nursing in Hanover, Houle's Beauty Academy in Manchester, and the Sheldon Academy of Beauty Culture in Burlington, Vermont. Others in the class have joined the local business community, or have entered the Armed Forces. I know that our best wishes continue to go with them.

The opening of school last September witnessed a further expansion of secondary education in the community. Our student enrollment had increased 8% over the preceding June closing figures. Our curriculum was further expanded which necessitated the addition of one more member to the faculty. During the intervening summer, Mr. Baldassaro and Mr. Pelletier left to accept positions elsewhere. They were replac- ed by Mr. John Martel, a St. Anselm's College graduate from Manchester, in Science, and by Mr. Robert Devoid, a Boston College graduate and veteran of several years teaching at Conant High School in Jaffrey, living in Swanzey Center, and teaching here in our Modern Foreign Language program. We feel quite fortunate in acquiring the services of two such fine people as these. An additional position had to be created to meet the increased curriculum and enrollment demands. Therefore, the High School retained Mr. Bernard FitzGerald, a graduate of Plymouth State College and a resident of Keene, to teach Boys' and Girls' Physical Education, Science and So-

cial Studies. It is the plan of the High School to promote Mr. FitzGerald into full-time Physical Education if the necessary facilities are gained within a reasonable period of time. Through him, we have been able to offer Physical Education to our ninth graders this year for the first time.

In addition to the expansion of the school curriculum as already noted, certain other innovations have been imple- mented or augmented. In the forefront in this area is the con- tinued strong growth of the High School Library. The collec- tion now numbers more than 800 volumes. This area of the

school is well on the way toward meeting its minimum require- ments. The governing handbooks for faculty and students 136

have been continued and have had an overall improving effect upon the operation of the school.

Other additions to our High School life have been in such areas as the inception of an Annual Science Fair, and a great- er degree of formalization of our graduation exercises. The Science Fair was presented last Spring with excellent results. This affair gives our young people the chance to creatively explore in the fields of the various sciences. Graduation Day has been enhanced by the addition of a limited academic pro- cession. The number of participating faculty will grow con-

tinually, until it becomes a total school tradition.

This current year has found our school scheduled for an evaluation by the New England Association of Colleges and

Secondary Schools. This comparative evaluation is essential in order to adequately plot school growth, point out prevalent strengths and weaknesses, and up-date our educational phil- osophy. To have achieved a satisfactory level in such an

evaluation is to insure our college-bound young people a more sucessful chance for college acceptance. The entire fac- ulty is cooperatively engaged in this endeavor.

To further develop our academic discipline, the High School has this year instituted the practice of offering Mid- year and Final Examinations. It is anticipated that through this medium, more accurate assessments of student academic achievement will be obtained. These results also give meaning and implications to our Faculty in measuring the work that has been accomplished, and further provide worthwhile learn- ing and performance situations for those students planning on extending their education beyond high school.

The various activities of the High School have continued their progress. Mr. Norton's musical groups have continued their growth and busy schedules. Augmented by members from the Junior High School, his band, numbering approximately fifty students, has performed this past year in several parades and public concerts. His band likes to maintain a schedule of at least five major parade dates, and three concert perform- ances. This year the High School Joint Exchange Concert will 137 be with North Berwick, Maine. Mr. Norton and the High School administration wish to thcnk the town for its fullest support and cooperation in the completion of all our exchange pro- grams. The Band, further, wishes to thank the Hinsdale Fire Department for its generous support during this past year. Mention must also be made of the excellent quality with which our High School Chorus has sung to us. Their current abilities ciuite adequately attest to exceedingly^ competent and patient instruction, and constant community support. More will be heard from the Chorus in the future.

The athletic picture at the High School has been relatively quiet as the school is currently in a period of time wherein the victory column has become quite elusive. In Soccer and Baseball we can more than hold our own, and manage to win our share of the games. In Basketball, we are confronted by a slightly different situation. We now find our competition rapidly drawing away from us primarily because of the exist- ing wide dissimilarty of facilities. Our boys and girls are at a loss to know how to play, or retain sufficient stamina to play on the ever-increasing large courts in our leagues. It is urgent- ly hoped that some type of solution can be found to begin correcting these athletic discrepancies. As has been previously noted, a change in facilities will serve to enhance and other- wise enrich our basic curriculum offerings. The one bright spot on the total athletic scene was the oustanding record establish- ed by the High School Ski Team. We expect to do even more w4th this team in the future. We owe a great deal of credit to our athletic director, Mr. Kidder, who has served this school through many long hours in order to give us a better athletic program.

This past year the High School adopted a new agency for its yearbooks and its rings. The Class of 1963 was the first to receive the new Pacers, and the Class of 1965 will be the first to wear the new, official High School ring. This ring, in 10 k. gold, has the school shield on one side, and embossed letter "H" on the other side, and is surmounted with an emblematic blue stone at the crest. 138

I conclusion, may I express my sincere appreciation to all who have made this past year's progress possible. A special word of thanks must be given to a faculty which brought our school to where it is today. And above all, let me express the gratitude which must be extended toward our School Board and our parents for the whole-hearted cooperation and support they have given us and our school over the past months.

The statistics outlined above are based upon current in- formation and, while they may indicate possible trends, con- elusions regarding future enrollments should be based upon extreme caution. The figures do not reflect the mobility of the population nor do they attempt to predict the number of "repeaters" or "drop-outs". They are simply a projection of current enrollment and census figures.

In comparing the current enrollment figures with those of a year ago, we f ir-d- thirty-nine more elementary pupils and five more high sehJfcl pupils for a total increase of forty- four. The increase last year over the previous year was forty. In two years, the enrollment in Hinsdale has increased suf- ficently to fill three classrooms. There appears to be sufficient evidence to expect this trend to continue.

HINSDALE SCHOOL FACILITIES: Both the elementary and high school facilities are excellent. However, in order to accommodate the increasing elementary enrollments, the re- mainder of the all-purpose room should be converted into class- room space. This would then provide eighteen elementary classrooms.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM: At the center of the school is a learning child with his teacher. A school system is measur- ed by what happens here, at its heart. Every provision of bud- get, of space, of materials, and of staff is justified by its contribution to teaching and learning. There are many forces that affect teaching and learning and they inescapably require new services and resources.

In an age of changing and expanding demands on our schools, the citizens of Hinsdale want, even demand, support for the challenging task of giving our children the kind of educational opportunities adequate for the times. The Hinsdale

School Board and the administration is striving to provde this kind of program. However, expanded curriculums, facilities, and staff have economic implications which must be faced.

I believe the citizens of Hinsdale are to be commended for their continued support in providing educational oppor-

tunity for our youth which is in step with the times. 142

In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation to the principals and teachers, pnpils and parents, the School Board and the patrons of our schools for their understanding and cooperation.

Report of the Forest Fire Warden and Your

District Chief

During the past year New Hampshire faced the greatest forest fire threat to its woodlands in more than sixty years. The continued drought brought home to our citizens, as never before, the potential threat of destructive fires to their beautiful and valuable forests, homes and livelihood. In true American tradition of meeting a common threat by volunteer effort, this fire danger was minimized by active preven- tion, patrol and relinquishing of personel rights for the common good, it was the greatest de'.^onstration of public, co-operation ever exper- ienced by those responsible for local and/^ -i^'""® control. The ready forces of volunteer fire services kept the losses IC^;. For their effort and public response the general fire service expressi^ its heartfelt thanks for a job well done.

Prevention however, is not just an activity for the bad fire years.

It must be practiced until it becomes a part of our public conscience — a habit. Just plain carelessness with fire causes too many of our fires. The following practices and suggestions will help:

1. Always have a permit for outdoor burning and burn with- in the terms of the permit and in a safe place. Burn late

in the afternoon when the wind is down or on rainy or

damp days. Check your fire and if winds develop ex-

tinguish it promptly.

2. Carry your rubbish to the public dump — it's safer. A neglected backyard incinerator causes many fires.

3. Never discard lighted cigarette or match. Make this a year round habit regardless of the safety of your sur- roundings.

4. Children caused fires are now a major concern. Keep matches away from them and teach them to respect fire

and not make it a subject of play.

Lets all join with "Smokey the Bear" and "Keep New Hampshire Green" and growing in 1964.
