Article 11. A resolution was submitted by Mr. Frost in the matter of the 0. W. Lull Memorial

Fund : "Be it Resolved : That the Town of Milford respectfully petition the Superior Court for Hills- boro County for permission, at the proper time, to sell the real estate held in the O. W. Lull Memorial Fund and apply the proceeds together with securities held in the Fund substantially in the manner set forth in the report to the Town Meeting holden March 10, 1936 by the special committee duly authorized by vote of the Town at its meeting held March 12, 1935." This report was discussed at length and an amendment was presented by Mr. Tarbell moving that the report be accepted provisionally but without definite action at this Town Meeting, referring the matter back to the committee for further consideration and study and a further report to the Town. Mr. Tarbell also asked for public hearings and dis- cussions. The amendment was voted down and after further explanation of the resolution presented by Mr. Frost, the Resolution was voted in the affirmative. 42

Article 12. After some discussion pro and con regarding the advisability of advertising the Town through the Monadnock Region Association, it was voted to raise and appropriate the sum of $75.00 for that purpose. Article 13. The following resolution, regarding the purchase of a tractor for snow removal, was presented by the Ways and Means Committee: "It is hereby moved that the Selectmen be authorized to purchase a tractor for snow removal at a price not to exceed $6300, and that a sum not to exceed $6300 be raised and appropriated for the purchase of the same, and it is hereby moved that the Town borrow $4000 in two callable serial notes payable in 1937 and 1938 for $2000 each to apply on the purchase price and that the balance above $4000 be paid through income for this year." A division of this resolution was called for—the advisability of making such a purchase to be discussed first, then the methods of financing same. After much discussion it was voted unanimously to purchase a tractor for the sum set forth in the resolution. The method of payment was then taken up. Mr. Sawyer suggested that another plan for meeting the payments might be preferable, one covering a longer period of time, but the recommendation of the Ways and Means Committee was finally adopted. Article 14. It was voted to renew the lease of the Ricciardi-Hartshorn Post No. 23, American Le- gion, for another five years at the term of the previous lease. Article 15. The sum of $200 was raised and appropriated to secure Federal Aid to sponsor Nation- al Youth Administration movement. Article 16. It was voted to indefinitely postpone the raising of money to secure Federal Aid for in- dexing the Vital Statistics of the Town. 43

Under Article 17 reports were in order, and firstly the Report of the Town Insurance Commit- tee, appointed March 12, 1935, was read and accepted, and it was voted to raise and appropriate $542.69 to pay the insurance premiums for the ensuing year on the properties insured by the Town. After the report was accepted, the following resolution was presented by the committee: "It is hereby moved that the amount of insurance to be carried on Town properties be determined by vote of the Town Meeting at its annual meetings." This motion was carried by vote in the affirmative. Another resolution submitted by the committee is as follows: "Be it Resolved: That the Town adopt a policy of continuing the partial loss coverage in the matter of insurance on Town owned property and that the amounts of insurance carried on the Town properties until this resolution is modified or rescinded, be in the amounts suggested by the Spe- cial Insurance Committee appointed by vote of the Town at the meeting held March 12, 1935 and whose report under date of February 26, 1936 is incorporated on page 177 of the Annual Report of the Town Officers of Milford, for the year ending January 31, 1936. " This resolution was so voted upon and accepted. Still acting under Article 17, the following resolution was presented by the Ways and Means Com- mittee. Resolution on the Library Committee report: "Be it Resolved: That the Library Committee appointed to select a site for the Wadleigh Me- morial Library be continued until some definite action becomes advisable and that the Selectmen be empowered to fill any vacancies that may occur on the Committee from time to time either by death or by resignation/' This resolution was accepted and adopted. 44

Article 17. The report of the Planning Board as given on page 117 of the Annual Report of the Town Officers of Milford, for the year ending Jan- uary 31, 1936, was accepted by vote. Article 17. Ralph Woodman moved the adoption of the following resolution: "Resolved: That the resolutions relative to the management of the Water Works, adopted in the annual Town Meet- ing of 1891, be amended as follows: "1* In the resolution defining the duties of the Water Commissioners to strike out 'and shall pay over to the Town Treasurer semi-annually the balance in their hands of the receipts over and above expenditures' and substitute 'and shall pay over annually before the 31st day of January to the Town Treasurer, the balance in their hands of receipts over and above expenditures, except that the Water Commissioners may withold such sum as the Select- men and Commissioners may agree upon for the immediate needs of the Water Works, said sum not to exceed two thousand dollars/ "2. That that portion of the resolution defining the duties of the Water Commissioners, paragraph three, relating to the payment of the original Water Works bond, be rescinded. "3. That such other resolutions, pertaining to the payment of the original purchase of the Water Works, be rescinded. "4. That upon passage, these amendments shall void any amendments that may have been passed by the Town of Milford since the annual meeting of 1891." This resolution was accepted and adopted by vote. Under Article 17 Mr. Garabedian offered a Reso- lution for the widening of Amherst street on its 45

south side at the foot of Summer Street. This resolution was voted down. Rev. Father McDonough made the motion that the free use of the Town Hall be granted to the Mil- ford Boys Club, for one night. This was voted in the affirmative. Regular Town Meeting closed at 3.25 P. M. 1200 votes were cast. Respectfully submitted, DONALD C. BRUCE, Town Clerk. 46

Report of Cemetery Trustees

Under Mr. Antimo F. Carpentieri the cemeteries have received the usual care and we believe were kept in a satisfactory condition. The trustees are of the opinion that it will require the same appropriation to keep them the coming year. The interest on invested funds for the perpetual care of lots is so small that it requires the full return to keep the lots mowed and until the interest rates are increased there is nothing left for special care.

Report of Highway Agent

Due to the flood in March the country roads were badly washed and had to be re-built and re- surfaced. These conditions required the extra ex- penditure for four extra trucks and extra men for seven weeks. This money came out of the regular appropriation for highways and as a result many plans were cancelled that had been previously scheduled for new work. This department has re-surfaced and oiled one and one-half miles of new work during the fiscal year. This work includes Federal Hill as far as the Holiday House, the top of Dean Moore Hill as far as the residence of Mr. Lovejoy; and on Border Street. Federal Hill should be oiled again this year, also roads in town are badly in need of oil and in some sections will not stand another year in their present condition. Adams Street Extension is now passable and has served as a detour at times when Amherst Street has been impassable. In the report of last year you will remember that the department recommended gravelling and oiling more hills in the out of town sections. For your information the hills that had been oiled and gravelled before the spring flood stood the water better and cost very little to repair in comparison with hills not so treated. These hills should be oiled in 1937 to save the work already done. The icy weather has been the cause of using more sand than ever before. Sand trucks have been out very late at night and in the extreme early hours of the morning, also many Sundays, this winter. CHARLES H.

Report of O. W. Lull Memorial Fund Committee

To the Town of Milford Your committee to consider the condition and prospects of the 0. W. Lull Memorial Committee report as follows: Your committee reported at some length to the Town Meeting held March 10, 1936, which report is found on page 37 of the printed town reports for 1936. The Town Meeting adopted a resolution submitted with the report, the purport of which was to request the court to give approval to sell the real estate. Pursuant to above action of the town the case was entered in the court, and at time of making up this report had not reached final determination. Should permission to sell be refused it will end the matter, so far as this committee is concerned. Should permission to sell be granted, some future Town Meeting would determine what the wishes of the town relative thereto would be. We recommend continuation of the committee for the purpose of keeping the town informed as to developments. H. S. HUTCHINSON, C. S. EMERSON, A. H. CALDWELL. : :

There is some satisfaction that Relief has cost less in 1936 than in the previous year. Part of this is due to cases being shifted from direct relief to Old Age Assistance, part to Work Relief on W. P. A. projects, but it is a fact that there was less unem- ployment and in consequence less call for aid. The Sewing Project has been especially helpful as the wages have helped support the family and also the product has been distributed to the needy. I hope that there will be funds available to continue it. A large part of the Town Charges are people that are unemployable and necessarily will continue to receive public aid.

Report of Parks and Playgrounds Commission

Soon after town meeting the Park Commission was placed in extraordinary circumstances. The March 18 flood destroyed the baseball diamond at Endicott Park and affected trees and general conditions to a distressing point, making it unsafe for use. Federal funds and U. S. Works Progress Adminis- tration were available with but little financial back- ing of ours required, and it seemed wise to accept them. Many things could thus be accomplished that, perhaps, otherwise never would be, and also provide work for unemployed men in our community. Before commencing such operations the town officials and private assistance helped to fill some of the huge washouts and put the baseball grounds into crude shape. Many councils and surveys made for efficiency when the larger project began, and frequent extensions of time have made possible the completion of an almost perfect result. A granite retaining wall 175 feet long, eight feet deep in the earth and three feet high has been built where the current swept in before, to prevent such hazard again. Long needed attention to the large old trees and the grading has been slow and arduous labor, and upon examination it was found that almost the entire edge of the Souhegan River bank on this property was deeply undermined. Granite grout has been dumped and placed during low water to offset this situation and retain the fringe of trees that would soon have been lost. The National Youth Administration was given permission to erect a pretentious open air fireplace on the highest knoll, near the drive, for the use of the public and tourist, and it was done. 81

An enlarged parking place for automobiles will also be one of the present improvements and the long anticipated skating rink for children is being located and arranged for next season. The treasurer's report which follows will make plain our efforts in behalf of solving this year's problem. It is hoped that another season will find us on a normal program. Shepard Park must have new flag-pole rope and equipment at a probable expense of twenty-five dollars, for one thing, and repairs on the Oval have been delayed until now. Respectfully submitted, DAISY E. STICKNEY, Secretary. HARLAND H. HOLT, President.

Report of Water Commissioners

To the Citizens of the Town of Milford: The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1936, together with financial report of the Treasurer. During the year the Board held eleven regular and four special meetings. Owing to the fact that we were compelled by a legislative act passed in 1935, chapter 153, which placed all water works under the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission of New Hampshire, we were forced to change our fiscal year from Janu- ary 31st to December 31st, this year, making a period of only eleven months. This in turn necessitated the cutting down of our revenue by one quar- ter, that is, the January billings. The new bookkeeping system as required by the Public Service Commission has been in operation during these eleven months and is complete in every detail. Not having the exact cost of the water works, at the suggestion of the Public Service Commission, we employed Frank L. Willis and Company (Certi- fied Public Accountants) of Concord, N. H., to ana- lyze the expenditures on the entire water works system from the time it was purchased by the Town of Milford, in 1892, up to the present, in order to build up the plant value. This was rather a compli- cated mass of detail to bring to light and proved very enlightening, as we never had facts and figures to refer to in a condensed form. We consider the cost of this analysis money very well invested. The accountants' services and the necessary books to carry on the uniform system, as required by the Pub- lic Service Commission, under penalty of the law, entailed an outlay of nearly five hundred dollars. 85

It will be noted the Treasurer has submitted a Comparative Balance Sheet and Statement of Op- erations, as of December 31, 1936. Heretofore, a detailed statement was printed, but under the present set-up this would be impossible without keeping another set of books. However, our books are open to all citizens of Milford, at all times, for examination and we will be only too pleased to explain the present system in detail to them. We received a petition in June for the extension of the water main on the Wilton Road to the Down- ing house, now owned by Charles Hayward, and being able to finance this out of our revenue, the extension was granted and completed in July. After the fire at the Langdell Mill on November 10th, we realized the inadequate protection given this mill and conferred with Mr. Langdell. It was decided to extend the water main 1200 feet on the highway and 300 feet into the yard, thus allowing him to install an automatic sprinkler system. While this would not bring us a large amount of revenue, it was the means of retaining a valuable business in the town. The financing of the Nashua Street extension necessitated the Selectmen borrowing $2,000.00 for us in short term note, which we will pay from the revenue of the Water Department. Therefore, no money will be turned over to the Town Treasurer, by this department, this year. Respectfully submitted, FRED E. COOLEY, KITT K. STIMSON, RALPH J. GAINEY, Water Commissioners. 86 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT

To the Board of Water Commissioners, I hereby submit a report of the Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1936.

The activities of this department have been confined largely to the two extensions of the water main; one on the Wilton Road, 3500 feet, and the other on the Nashua Road, 1500 feet. Three hydrants were installed on the Wilton Road and three on the Nashua Road. The total cost of the Wilton Road extension, including labor and materials, was $3570.31. Taking into consideration that the cost of the pipe alone was eighty-five cents per foot, it leaves a labor charge of only $595.31, or a little less than fifteen cents per running foot, which in our es- timation is pretty cheap construction. The Nashua Road extension was started in December, but was not finished until after the first of January. Accord- ing to our present bookkeeping set-up the entire cost of this extension will be given in the 1937 report. The standpipe was given one coat of aluminum paint and should have another coat the coming year. The only major project in view for the coming year is the re-sanding of the filter, which has to be done about every five years. To date nothing has been done as to a building suitable for housing the department truck, or a new cover for the No. 1 well. The reduction in water rates has lessened our income more than we anticipated, and in financing the Wilton Road extension from our own income, has handicapped us temporarily. Our present safe is much too small to accommo- date the valuable records and books made necessary by our new bookkeeping system, and we would ad- vise the purchase of a suitable safe immediately. 87

Outside of the water storage facilities the system is is first-class condition. Respectfully submitted, R. F. CAMPBELL, Superintendent.

91 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SEWERS

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen I hereby submit my report as Superintendent of Sewers. The activities of this department have been confined largely to the 24 inch pipe line along the river bank, which was badly damaged by the flood. A large part of this pipe was badly broken and some of it carried away entirely. As there was no appropriation for this unexpected damage, we had to finance it under an over-run which is designated in the detailed report as "flood special. The sewers on Union, Nashua, Cottage, Cherry Streets and Highland Avenue have been thoroughly cleaned this year. We find that some of these sewers have to be cleaned every year to keep them free from sand, which is washed down by the surface water. Heretofore, we have used the hose that has been discarded by the Fire Department, on our sewer machine. This has proven very unsatisfac- tory, for when the Fire Department gets through with it, it is very near useless, so we are asking for 500 feet of new hose in our appropriation the coming year. Something will have to be done in the near future about the surface water running into our sewers in certain sections of the town, as during a heavy downpour the sewers are absolutely unable to carry the water, causing the sewers to back up into the houses, and in some places boiling out of the flush closets onto the floor. We are asking for an appropriation this year to take the surface water off of Union Street between Lincoln and George Streets, and carry it down Willow and Oak Streets, emptying into Railroad Pond, in a specially con- structed drain, separate from the sanitary sewer. 92

We know this will relieve the condition on Union and Cottage Streets, and we have every reason to believe that it will help Elm Street. In fact, all the main sewers in this part of the town. For detailed expenditures, see Selectmen's report on sewer construction and maintenance, also flood special. Respectfully submitted, R. F. CAMPBELL, Superintendent. :

93 MILFORD FREE LIBRARY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

To the Citizens of the Town of Milford The Trustees of the Milford Free Library submit herewith their annual report, together with the report of the librarian. At the annual meeting of the trustees on April 9, 1936 Harland H. Holt was elected chairman; Ben- jamin F. Prescott, treasurer; Ruth D. French, secretary. Miss Annabell Secombe was re-elected librarian and Miss Alice Ames, assistant librarian. The Reading Committee chosen was Miss Ella Pow- ers, Mrs. Louise Broughton, Mrs. Louise Powers, Miss Margaret Howison, Mr. F. W. Sawyer, Mr. Marcus Bourn, and Miss Evelyn Dodge. The trustees recommend that the sum of $2850.00 be appropriated for the use of the Mil- ford Free Library for the year 1937 to 1938. Respectfully submitted, HARLAND H. HOLT, BENJAMIN F. PRESCOTT, RUTH D. FRENCH. :

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN

To the Trustees of the Milford Free Library

I herewith submit the annual report of the Mil- ford Free Library for the year ending January 31, 1937. Considering the reports from other libraries, we feel that, while our circulation for the last year is below that of the last few years, at 41,050 it is very good for a town of the size of Milford. It is the era of special lists of books for various societies and our library is doing considerable work in that line. We are now featuring the Baptist, Con- gregational, Farm Bureau, Garden Club, Grange, and school lists. It is hard to find shelves for all these lists in our crowded quarters. However, so far we have contrived to do so. During the fall Miss Ames gave instruction on using the library to the eighth grade. We have received two pictures that are a part of the bequest of Mrs. Wadleigh. They are to be placed in the Wadleigh Memorial Library. Until that building is ready for them, they are to be kept in the present library and have been hung in the delivery room. Mrs. P. R. Woodman gave us a large walnut bookcase which has been placed in the children's department. Mr. A. V. Phillips gave the library a twenty volumes set of of the Book of Knowledge for use in the children's department. The locked cabinet for special books for which we asked last year has been built in the delivery room and is filled to its capacity. Respectfully, ANNABELL C. SECOMBE, Librarian. : ; ; ;

Report of Sexton The usual amount of work with a few changes and improvements has been accomplished in the care of our cemeteries during the past year, but there could be more accomplished if more money was appropriated by the town. Several new chestnut posts have been erected on the south side of the West Street cemetery, replac- ing the old decayed posts. Also the fence surround- ing the Unknown Soldier's Memorial lot has been repaired again. Your Sexton suggests that consideration be given in cutting down the rotted pine trees in the West Street cemetery. These trees are located near some costly monuments and it would be advisable to have them cut down before they are blown down during high winds, which may cause considerable damage to these monuments. The appearance of the south side of the West Street cemetery has been greatly improved by the shrubs being cut down by Mr. W. S. Keith on his property adjoining the cemetery. It would add greatly to the appearance if the granite wall was extended along the south side. If the town receives an allotment of money from state or national funds it could be used for this purpose. The entrance to the Elm Street cemetery has been improved with the addition of flower beds. The question of the amount of money needed for the perpetual care of lots is something to be consid- ered. With the present rate of interest reduced it does not allow a sufficient sum to care for a lot over a period of years. The present rate of interest about pays for the mowing of the lot. This leaves but little accumulation of interest for a time when the lot needs fertilizer or re-grading. ANTIMO CARPENTIERI, Sexton. •

Report of Town Planning Board

During the past year the Board has held its regular monthly meetings, also numerous Committee conferences. The Zoning and Assessors' Map is near the blue- print stage, merely lacking the names of our streets. Due to the shortage of funds it was impossible to complete the map. Our records and meetings as usual are open to the public at all times. This year the meetings will be held in the town house other than Monday evenings as heretofore. MISS K. O'CONNELL, Secretary.

National Youth Administration Activities

In the early part of February 1936 it became known in Milford that machinery had been set up for a National Youth Administration organization. On the following day a conference was held with a member from the N. Y. A. office, and a program of work projects was planned. It was not until May 15 that Milford was allotted a Supervisor. Although the work was much handicapped by this hold-up, the youths have taken a prominent part in assisting in local affairs through the year. Following are a few things done which we hope are a benefit to our town. Cleaning dump on Elm

Street (more to do) ; sweeping sand from walks after ice storms; opening North River schoolhouse; high school grounds; work on road with Road Agent; cleaning town Oval; grading Shepard Park; civic planting at end of Stone Bridge ; measuring and working on town map ; building information booth; work on ski trail and three fireplaces; town house cleaning; and many little jobs not mentioned. One special feature which has been of value to the youths and townspeople was the Employment Agency set up in the Red Cross office last spring. These youths were not eligible for the N. Y. A. work, but needed employment. This service helped to relieve the moral condition and the relief burden.

140 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

To the School Board of Milford

I herewith submit my eighteenth annual report which is the thirty-second in the series of such reports.

Milford School District continues as a part of Su- pervisory Union No. 40 with union organization as last year.

Teachers and Schools

In the elementary group grades I-VI, conditions remain about the same as last year except that Os- good School has been closed and pupils from that section attend the elementary building at the village with transportation provided for those who live two miles or more from the school. This change was made because the enrollment at Osgood School was not large and there was ample room at the village. Also, Miss Gogan, teacher last year at Osgood, was appointed to the Grade V position vacated by Miss Boudreau who declined re-election. At the High School, there have been many changes in the staff, due in part to several teachers being offered positions in other schools with increases in salary. Teachers who have left are Miss An- drews, Miss Brown, Mr. Crosby, Miss Forbes, Miss Horace, Mr. Putnam and Miss Teeri. New teachers this year are as follows: Miss Dora Ames of Wilton, Wheaton 1933 and Master's Degree from Universi- ty of New Hampshire 1934; Miss Olive Auger of Manchester, Plymouth 1936; Mr. Ernando DeVittori of Milford, University of New Hampshire 1935 Miss Dorothy Jones of Manchester, University of New Hampshire 1930; Mr. Maurice Kalloch of Con- cord, Keene 1934; Miss Dorothy Kelly of Concord, University of New Hampshire 1934; Miss Letha Nel- 141 son of Ryegate, Vermont, Plymouth 1936, and Mr. Wilfred Poirier of Lincoln, Keene 1933. Miss Ames, Miss Jones, Mr. Kalloch and Mr. Poirier have had previous teaching experience. For subject assign- ments see Headmaster Erickson's report. The retention of successful teachers and hence the maintenance of a stable teaching staff is largely a matter of the salaries paid. A few years ago salaries were considerably reduced—as was true in all walks of life. The time has now arrived when a readjustment should be made to bring our salaries to a point more nearly on a level with schools of our size and type. For 1935-1936 figures taken from the biennial report of the State Board of Education recently issued show that the average salary paid headmasters in New Hampshire was $2414.17; for men teachers in High School $1447.74; for women teachers in High School $1172.08; for women teachers in elementary schools $1055.40. Corresponding figures for Milford for the same year were Headmaster $2150; High School men $1306.66; High School women $1044.50; elementary women $924.28. For another year the enrollment in the High School will probably show a decided increase. The graduating class of about thirty-seven will be replaced by an incoming seventh grade of over eighty. This will make for a crowded condition and will not, of course, decrease the demand for teacher time. Report Cards A year ago a new type of report card was adopted for use in High School. This year the same general type of card has been extended for use in the elementary grades. It is intended to furnish much more information to parents than was ever shown on the old cards of years ago when numerical marks 142 only were used. Suggestions in regard to report cards and conferences with parents are always wel- comed by teachers and Superintendent.

Kaley Prize-Speaking Contest For many years we have been indebted to Gen- eral Frank E. Kaley for providing funds for a program intended to further the development of public speaking. It is very gratifying to announce that Mr. Kaley in his will established a fund, the income of which was to be used for the same general purpose. This fund has been received and will produce an annual income which will make it possible to expand the whole program and give instruction to many more pupils each year. Details of an expand- ed program are being worked out and will probably include a program for Seniors and a program for eighth graders in addition to the present prize- speaking contest for Sophomores. Adult Education A correspondence center, so-called, for study courses for persons over sixteen years of age not attending schools or colleges has recently been opened at Milford. This is sponsored by the State Board of Education in cooperation with the Works Progress Administration. The immediate supervision is under the direction of Mr. Francis C. Reagan of Mont Vernon who is Supervisor of Adult Educa- tion. These courses are without expense to those who enroll and are not limited to persons who live in Milford. For further details consult Mr. Reagan or the Superintendent of Schools.

Repairs and Needs Since a year ago the following things have been done: 1. New roof at the elementary building. :

143

2. New wall and fence on west side at elementary building. 3. Interior painting at elementary building. 4. Installation of more weather stripping on north windows in the High School. 5. Addition of three microscopes for the laboratory. 6. Purchase of folding chairs for sewing classes and music groups. 7. Interior painting at Laurel school. Needs for the future are 1. Improvement of cooking equipment in the Domestic Arts Department. 2. Provision of more heating radiation in High School shop. 3. Completion of new electric light fixtures in High School assembly hall. 4. Repair of plumbing in laboratory at High School. 5. Further installation of weather stripping at the High School building. 6. Interior painting at High School. 7. Re-setting of one section of metal fence at elementary building. 8. Purchase of some additional equipment for Mechanic Arts.

Cooperation in Education

This is the theme for the 1937 convention of the New Hampshire State Teachers' Association to be held in the new High School building at Nashua next October 21 and 22. In the January bulletin of the Association, the President, Superintendent Earle T. Tracey of Nash- ua, writes this message: "The history of American Society shows us that there have been relatively long periods of what "

144 might be termed static life. During these periods of time, the political and social structure of our country was so well established that little question arose as to what should be taught the youth of the nation. Their education was the education of their fathers and mothers. "Today, the whole life of our country, political, social, and economic, is in a state of change. Such a condition of affairs naturally brings with it dis- agreement and uncertainty. Never before was the spirit of controversy so rampant as at present. Edu- cation itself is affected by it to the extent that parents and educators are asking themselves, 'What shall we teach the younger generation?' . . . The depression has made students more serious, more diligent, and more purposeful. It has made educators more critical of their work, and it has made parents more sensitive to the values of education. "These ought to be our objectives for 1937: 1. A curriculum that meets present-day needs. 2. Better home and school cooperation. 3. A continuous community program for child- hood and youth. 4. Better integration of school life and life outside the school. "Alone, these objectives cannot be accomplished. All the adult public must be enlisted in this work, for it is only to the extent of its confidence and support that we may achieve these objectives. The job of education belongs not alone to the craft, but to every individual of the community. May we in 1937 strive for that cooperation. Respectfully submitted, HAROLD C. BALES, Superintendent of Schools. February 19, 1937. 145

To Mr. Harold C. Bales, Superintendent of Schools, Milford, New Hampshire:

I herewith submit my second annual report as Headmaster of Milford High School.

Enrollment

The total enrollment through January 31, 1937 was 403, as compared with 398 for the same period last year and 406 two years ago. The membership January 31, 1937, was 378, while at the same date last year it was 370. Of the enrollment January 31, 1937, 201 were girls and 177 were boys, distributed according to age and grade as follows: ENROLLMENT AND AGE- GRADE TABLE Ages 7 8 9 10 11 12 P.G. Tot.

Enrollment by Curricula For grades IX-XII the enrollment by curricula as of January 31, 1937 was as follows:

Grades IX X XI XII Totals Commercial—Girls 17 23 12 14 66 Boys 2 2 Academic—Girls 9 10 15 2 36 Boys 5 4 3 4 16 Mechanic Arts—Boys 16 21 9 5 51 General—Girls 5 8 13 7 33 Boys 15 6 9 5 35 Totals 69 72 61 37 239

The distribution of our 239 pupils of grades IX-XII between our four curricula may be seen to be fairly even since from the above table, we find that 28% of the pupils are enrolled in the commercial curriculum, 28% in the general curriculum, 22% in the academic, and 22% in the mechanic arts. Tuition Pupils 1936-1937

On January 31, 1937 there were 64 tuition pupils as compared to 55 at that time last year, 53 two years ago, and 46 three years ago. They were distributed by grades and towns as follows: By grades: VII, 5; VIII, 2; IX, 16; X, 18;

XI, 11 ; XII, 11 ; P. G., 1 ; total 64,

By towns: Amherst 3, Brookline 19, Greenfield 1, Greenville 14, Lyndeboro 6, Mont Vernon 21, total 64.

Activities February 1936 to February 1937 Junior Play

The annual Junior play, "Minnie Breezer," was presented on March 6, 1936, at the Finnish Hall. This comedy in three acts was very well done by the cast, which showed able directing by the coach, 152

Miss Erma Andrews, assisted by Miss Marguerite Brown, class adviser. Sophomore Play The Sophomore play, "The Flatterer," was presented in the Milford High School assembly hall on the evening of April 3, 1936. The play was coached by Miss Erma Andrews, assisted by the class adviser, Miss Regis Horace.

Senior Class Trip On Wednesday, April 22, 1936, thirty-four members of the Senior class, with Mr. and Mrs. Carl W. Talbot as chaperones, left Milford for a four-day trip to New York City. With the Prince George Hotel as the center of activities the party enjoyed an interesting and profitable few days in the metropolis.

Scholarship Day On May 2. 1936, the Eighth Annual Scholarship Day was held at both Normal schools by the State Department of Education. Milford High School sent teams to Keene Normal School to compete. Three teams of three Seniors each were given tests in United States History, English Grammar, and Al- gebra. In the competition the United States History team tied for second place with Plymouth while the other two teams made commendable showings. The United States History team was composed of Leon Bills, Charles Emery, and Flora Mcintosh. The English Grammar team was William Calvetti, Elma Kolehmainen, and Sulo Salo; and Dorothy Moore, Edwin Wheeler, and Sulo Winters represented the school in Algebra.

Junior Prom Under the direction of Miss Marguerite Brown, class adviser, the annual Junior Prom was a fine sue- 153

cess. This affair was held at the Town Hall on the evening of May 8, 1936. Music was by Eddie De- rosier and his orchestra from Fall River, Massachu- setts. Much credit is due the Junior Class and Miss Brown for the manner in which this function was managed.

Prize-Speaking The twentieth annual Kaley Prize-Speaking Contest was held in the Town Hall on Friday evening, May 22, 1938. This contest was sponsored by Miss Barbara Kaley, daughter of the late General Frank E. Kaley, who made possible our previous contests by his generosity. This sophomore event was again efficiently directed by Miss Flora Abbiati, assisted by the other sophomore English teachers. The final eight speakers were selected from the sixty-six members of the class after the usual elim- ination contests. Those who were selected were: Be- quita Barnaby, Helen Goldman, Virginia Rossi, Helen Rotch, Paul Duff, Kenneth Holt, Joseph Ryan, and Langley Searles. The awards of first prizes of eight dollars each were given to Virginia Rossi, and Joseph Ryan; while Helen Goldman and Paul Duff were awarded the second prizes of four dollars apiece. The remaining four contestants each received two dollars. The judges were Miss Florence Baker of Amherst, Headmaster Lester Smith of New Ipswich, and Miss Iyla Tracey of Peterboro.

Freshman Play "June Time" was presented by the Freshman Class in the Milford High School assembly hall on Friday evening, June 5, 1936. It was given again in Brookline the following evening for the benefit of the Brookline Grammar School. The play was 154 directed by Miss Erma Andrews, assisted by Miss Elvie Teeri, class adviser.

Athletics Both boys and girls were represented by good basketball teams. Each were entrants in the Mon- adnock Interscholastic League which is composed of teams from the following schools: Appleton Acad- emy, Conant High, Marlboro High, Milford High, Peterboro High, and Wilton High. In the girls' division the Milford girls, led by Coach Phyllis Forbes and Captain Florence Gibbs, tied for second place with Wilton. The Peterboro girls won the championship. All three teams were invited to the state championship tournament sponsored by the the Peterboro Boys' Club. The girls' team from Pembroke Academy were the victors. Milford High girls won from Farmington High in the preliminaries but were edged by Keene High in the semi-finals after a close, overtime game. Verna Doucet was chosen a forward on the tournament all- star team, while Margaret Young and Gertrude Maki were chosen as forward and guard, respec- tively, on the second team. In the boys' division, Coach Elliott W. Keach and Captains Edwin Wheeler and Herbert Adams were successful in securing fourth place. Peterboro High boys won the title. The Milford High boys' team entered the Vil- lage Basketball tournament at Fitchburg where they gave a good account of themselves although losing both games which they played. They were defeat- ed by Chelmsford High in an overtime game in their first encounter, and lost a second game to Wil- ton High. The boys were again members of the Monad- nock baseball league. In spite of the fact that sev- 155 eral of the regulars were new-comers to the line-up the teams did well in league competition, finishing in fourth place.

Graduation Activities Class Day exercises were given by the seniors at Endicott Park June 17, 1936, with the school and many friends in attendance. Baccalaureate Exercises were held at the Con- gregational Church on Sunday evening, June 21, 1936. Graduation exercises for the Class of 1936 took place at the Town Hall on Tuesday evening, June

23, 1936. Headmaster Edward I. Erickson awarded diplomas to thirty-four members of the class. Their names and present occupations follow:

Amateur Night

The first annual amateur night for the benefit of the athletic association was given in the school assembly hall Friday evening, October 16, 1936. The contests were open to pupils of the Milford schools. Twenty-eight contestants entered the competition before a large and appreciative audience. Much hitherto unexpressed talent was discovered as a result, and a goodly sum was realized for the athletic association by the endeavor.

Freshman Hallowe'en Party

This first endeavor of the Class of 1940 was held at the Finnish Hall on Friday evening, October 24, 1936. The program consisted of two short plays, individual performances, and general dancing. Mr. Ernando DeVittori, class adviser, was chiefly re- sponsible for this successful party.

Senior Play One of the best senior plays in years was presented in the Town Hall on the evening of Friday, November 13, 1936. "Happy Days," directed by 157

Miss Dorothy Jones, held the attention of a capacity- audience until the final curtain.

Athletics 1936-1937 In spite of the fact that victories were not in abundance the football season was a success due to the large number of boys playing. Besides a varsity squad, Coaches Maurice Kalloch and Elliott W. Keach, directed a "pony" team composed of seventh, eighth, and ninth grade boys. Games for the high school group were played with Chelmsford (Mass.) High School, St. Joseph's of Manchester, Stearns School, Woodbury High School of Salem, and the Alumni. Prospects of a good season for 1937 are much better than for several years. Both boys and girls are playing basketball this winter with fair success. The girls are directed by Miss Dorothy Kelly, assisted by Miss Dora Ames; and the boys are coached by Mr. Elliott W. Keach and Mr. Wilfred A. Poirier.

Student Prints

At the time this material is going to press plans are well under way for the second edition of the "Student Prints," our school magazine. A fine op- portunity for self-expression through writing is provided for pupils of all grades. The type of booklet issued represents the high standard maintained by Miss Ruth D. French and her able editorial staff.

Assemblies As a means of developing self-expression and originality the various home rooms have arranged for our weekly assemblies during the past few months. It is by means of such activities that worth- while educational objectives may be realized. Many fine assemblies have been the result and more are planned for the future. .

158

Our efforts in this direction are handicapped by the fact that the present assembly hall is ill-suited for assembly purposes. It is impossible for the entire school to meet together at one time. Under the ex- isting conditions it is necessary to have separate assemblies for grades 7-8-9 and grades 10-11-12. With the increased enrollment of next year the problem will be more acute.

1. Building needs. 2. The adoption and maintenance of a definite salary schedule.

Provisions should be made in the near future for a well-lighted and ventilated assembly hall which will care for the school as a whole, more class-room space, better domestic arts facilities, better cloak rooms, and more adequate library space. A definite salary schedule leads to good teachers and the latter means good schools. We have a good school and a fine student body but we should, in justice to both, make attempts to retain our good teachers. Our doors are always open to welcome you to your school. We are all eager to work with you so we may give the youth of our town the best educational opportunities possible. Respectfully submitted,

EDWARD I. ERICKSON, Headmaster. February 4, 1937. 160

161 REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE

To Mr. Harold C. Bales, Superintendent of Schools,

Milford, N. H. : I herewith submit my fifth annual report of the school health work in Milford, it being the seven- teenth year of this work. The medical inspection was made in October 1936 by Dr. Hinds. A report of defects found will be given in the School Physician's report. A dental clinic was conducted during April and May 1936 for the Junior High School children at which the following work was accomplished Pupils treated 99 Cleanings 96 Temporary extractions 20 Permanent extractions 33 Cement fillings 3 Amalgam fillings 235 Porcelain fillings 47 The clinic was made possible through local do- nations and a bridge party arranged by a dental committee. This year the Woman's Club is sponsor- ing the dental clinic and we plan to work with the second and third grades. A toxoid clinic to immunize against diphtheria was held at the Community House in October at which forty-three children were inoculated. Several children were examined by Dr. Kerr at the spring tuberculosis clinic and several have been taken to the Nashua clinic for a check-up. A course in hygiene and care of the sick was taught to the girls of the Junior Class. Cod liver oil was furnished by the Woman's Club

and D. A. R. to the children needing it. Visual examinations have not been completed for the year. I have assisted in having some correc- 162 tions made through local organizations and the public welfare department. Tonsil cases have been taken care of at the Gras- mere Hospital. Four hundred fifty-four school room visits have been made during the year for instructive and cor- rective work. Home visits have been made as needed for health problems and welfare needs. We have had two epidemics during the year which have caused many children to be absent. In closing I wish to express my appreciation to school officials, teachers, parents and volunteer committee workers for the grand cooperation during the year. Respectfully submitted, VENITA H. CARTER, R. N., School Nurse. February 16, 1937.
