The year 1933 may stand out as the most trying dur- ing the period that has called for strict co-operation in order to meet an economic situation that has been perplexing to all municipalities. The Town of Wakefield, by following a policy of strict economy and by a candid and businesslike approach to municipal problems, closes the fiscal year in a very favorable financial position. We have been able to reduce the tax rate without resorting to bor- rowing for that purpose. The Board of Selectmen has strongly recom- mended and has closely adhered to this policy so as not to mislead the tax- payers by artificial prosperity, or by mortgaging anticipated receipts. The Highway Department, with a greatly reduced budget, has had to carry on the usual work of highway repairs and maintenance. Our high- way budget for 1933 was $62,500. In order to supplement this budget, we have followed the policy of obtaining State and County aid for perma- nent street construction or improvement. We have received from the State and County approximately $14,000. We have used this money to help in resurfacing Main Street from Hart's Hill to the Bennett Street railroad crossing, and to rebuild Lowell Street from the Reading line to Main Street. By this means we have eliminated a road condition that was ex- tremely dangerous for highway traffic. With State and County aid we also have done some work on widening Main Street along Lakeside. We strongly recommend that the town follow this policy of supplementing the annual highway budget by obtaining a substantial amount of State and County aid each year. The town budgets, and especially the highway budget, have been re- duced owing to the great demand on the Welfare and Soldiers' Relief De- partments. The town has appropriated a large amount of money for re- lief purposes. In order that the town might obtain value for this money, we have set up a project committee and, through the Highway Department, we have supervised construction work that adds a considerable amount to the capital assets of the town. Through the Soldiers' .Relief appropria- tion we have constructed granolithic sidewalks on both sides of Main . REPORT OF SELECTMEN 65 Street in the business district. We have also extended the concrete walk with concrete edgestone along Lakeside for a considerable distance. Through the use of welfare help we have supplemented our work on resur- facing Main Street and we have considerably improved the triangular plots at the intersection of Prospect and Elm Streets. There are numer- ous other projects which have been completed in this way. The Board of Selectmen was called upon to handle presentation of projects under Civil Works Administration. Through our sub-committee on projects, we are ready, without any delay, to present these projects for approval. The quota of men originally allotted to this town was approximately 369. The board has presented and has had allowed proj- ects providing work for approximately 600 men and women. In presenting projects under C. W. A., we have closely followed the policy of submitting projects that will greatly add to the town's capital assets. For the major part, we have recommended drainage work and from the work now being accomplished on these projects we feel that we made a wise choice. The improvement of drainage conditions will add greatly to the value of real estate and will relieve the poor drainage conditions that would have cost the town considerable amount of money in the near future. Drainage projects strictly follow the engineering specifications set forth in a complete drainage survey of the town made by Weston & Sampson, engineers. Consequently, drainage projects are not patchwork, but are part of a complete drainage system anticipat- ing future needs of the town. The increasing demands placed on the Highway Department this year have found that department well organized and ready to meet the situa- tion. It was owing to the fact that the Highway Department was in good financial condition that we could meet the expenses for materials under C. W. A. projects without resorting to calling a town meeting for the purpose of transferring funds. For this reason, men working in C. W. A. projects were able to begin work without delay and without waiting about three weeks for town meeting action. For this reason we believe the Highway Department particularly deserves our commendation. Other town departments under our jurisdiction have co-operated with us and we believe they have performed their work well. We have co-operated with the Water and Sewer Board with reference to the Public Works Administration project pertaining to the relaying of water mains. Several times during the year we have had conferences with the public works departments not under our jurisdiction. We feel that in this way we have had, to a certain extent, the advantages of a Board of Public Works with resulting efficiency and economy. We wish to thank these boards for their help and co-operation. It was a pleasure for us to discuss town problems and policies with them. The unemployment problem we consider to have been the major task 66 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD that confronted us. This report would not be complete if we did not say a word of appreciation for the patience and co-operation of those out of employment. In spite of the fact that town public works budgets had been greatly reduced, those who were not regularly employed by the town evi- denced a feeling that we, as a board, appreciated their problem. When the Civil Works Administration made money available, we wasted no time in providing work projects. We have given time without limit in this way to do all in our power to help those in need of employment. Our endeavors in this direction have been all the more pleasant because we feel that our efforts have been appreciated. Our hope is that means will be made available whereby we can help every deserving applicant for work. We appreciate the faithful services of our clerk, Harry A. Simonds. The town is fortunate in having a man so well qualified for the position he holds. EUGENE J. SULLIVAN, ASA A. BOOTHBY, J. THEODORE WHITNEY, V. RICHARD FAZIO, JOSEPH A. HINES, Selectmen of Wakefield.

REPORT OF PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT 69 Report of Dept. of Public Welfare To the Citizens of Wakefield: We have now completed the fourth year of the present unemployment emergency. Demands for relief steadily increased from month to month until the 21st of November, when the C. W. A. work started. Relief burdens during the past four years have been unparalleled in the history of relief administration. The character of our work, and the details of its administration are so similar from year to year that much of it is practically a repetition. However, this seems unavoidable and not important as we assume the object of our report is to have a condensed, official record at the end of each year for reference. A detailed statement of each case and its cause would be cumbersome and its publication questionable. # Relief of destitution is the primary responsibility of government and so when destitution increases it follows that expenditures go up. All tax- payers are naturally interested in the efficient and economical administra- tion of relief. The long continuance of this emergency makes it necessary to use every means to keep expenditures down to the lowest possible figures.

On Saturday mornings of each week, men were checked off at the office of the Board of Public Welfare and each man was assigned to do work of a kind that he was capable of doing. 70 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD The value of the services rendered by these men amounted to $6,744.00 based on a wage scale of $3.00 per day, for which the Welfare Department is given no credit in the financial statement of the Town. A card system was installed on April 1st; each man received a card on Saturday morning marked where he was to report for work the following week. The foreman on the job stamped the card and the recipient returned this card to the Welfare Department on the next Saturday for verification. Men who appeared to be in poor health, or men who complained of not being in the best of health and who felt that the work to which they had been assigned was too laborious, were also given a card which was stamped daily between 2 P.M. and 3 P.M., at the office of the Welfare Department. This procedure served a two-fold purpose — namely, to learn whether a man was trying to escape from doing any work when able to, or whether a man might be working elsewhere. The assignments have been made to the following departments: April, 1933, to November 30, 1933, inclusive Highway Dept. 1291 men @ $3.00 per day $3,873.00 Park and Cemetery Dept. 267 " " " 801.00 Board of Health 193 " " " 579.00 Town Infirmary 144 " " " 432.00 Moth Dept. 111 " " " 333.00 School Dept. 79 " " " 237.00 Library 104 " " " 312.00 Water Dept. 59 " " " " " 177.00 Total 2248 men @ $3.00 p(?r day $6,744.00 Many beneficial projects have been carried out as a result of the util- ization of all this labor. The men have assisted in the construction of new roads, building side- walks, cleaning streets and gutters, and removal of snow under the direc- tion of the Highway Department. The graves at Forest Glade Cemetery have been opened and the cemetery property in general has been greatly improved by the work of these men under the direction of the Park and Cemetery Department. The Salem Street and Green Street dumps have been kept cleared. The Central Street dump also has been piped and re-graded by these men under the direction of the Board of Health. Men have reported to the Moth Department for the removal of brush from the side of roads, cutting, trimming, and spraying trees. Various improvements have been made for the School Department by painters and carpenters, namely, painting chain link fence at Walton Field, REPORT OF PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT 71 building fence around the Montrose Schoolyard and clearing brush from Greenwood Schoolyard. They assisted the Water Department in preparing land for the driven wells off Nahant Street and cleaning bog off Linden Street which was infested with mosquitoes. At the Library, snow was removed, lawns kept free from dandelions and one man was kept in the children's room during the evening hours. At the Infirmary, men cut wood, which was later delivered to recip- ients of welfare aid, and also worked on the farm. QUARTERS It has been found that the office of the Welfare Department is not of sufficient size. Congestion is very great, the staff is much hampered and the public cannot be given the service expected because of the lack of space. OFFICE STAFF On January 1, 1933, our staff consisted of one accountant and one clerk. Because of the increased number of welfare recipients, it was deemed advisable to have an investigator who gives all of her time in this capacity. It was a necessary and effective addition for the efficient administration of relief. RED CROSS Through Mr. C. N. Winship, Chairman of the Wakefield Branch of the Red Cross, we received one and one-half cars of flour which was stored in his mill and given out on Saturday mornings. Also, through Mr. Winship, we. had a large allotment of Red Cross clothing and material which in- cluded men's and boys' pants, stockings, underwear, sheeting, outing flannel and dress materials. The outing flannel and dress materials were taken by the Wakefield Special Relief Committee and distributed to all church organizations who made it into men's and boys' pajamas, women's night gowns and children's dresses. This Committee was in a position to present, on Easter Saturday, a new dress to every girl whose family was receiving aid from this department. CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CAMPS On May 18, 1933, this Board was authorized by Mr. Richard K. Conant, Commissioner of Public Welfare, to select thirty-one unmarried boys between the ages of 18 and 25 years, whose parents are citizens, to enroll in the Civilian Conservation Camps. Again on September 25, 1933, a second allotment of twenty boys were sent for a further six months' period. These 72 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD boys have served with credit to themselves and this community in the Camps to which they were assigned. All have been reported to be enjoy- ing good health and are talking about re-enlisting at the end of their six months' period. CIVIL WORKS ADMINISTRATION On November 18, a notice was received by this Board of a meeting to be held at the State House on November 20, in reference to the un- employed. At this meeting we were advised of the anticipated relief to Welfare Departments throughout the country. We were instructed to present projects in order to place welfare recipients to work as speedily as possible. Through the foresight of Selectmen Eugene J. Sullivan, and J. Theo- dore Whitney, it was possible to immediately present projects which were approved, and men were placed to work on November 22, 1933—two days after the meeting. Mr. William C. Strong, Chairman of the Board of Public Welfare, was appointed Civil Works Administrator for Wakefield and through his untiring efforts, personal sacrifice, numerous calls at the C. W. A. head- quarters in Boston, projects were continued until February 15, 1934. TOWN INFIRMARY The conduct and cost of the Town Infirmary is one of the incum- bent affairs imposed upon the Board of Public Welfare. Here are gathered dependents not otherwise provided for, and of these the last two years have brought a considerable increase. It is the purpose and effort of the Board and those in charge to make it as nearly a real home as prac- tical. Unfortunately there are some things that militate against complete and satisfactory results. If one thinks of 20 to 25 adults, whose mis- fortunes have put them in an institution and whose habits are fixed and their temperaments and dispositions are as varied as their numbers, it readily may be understood that it is not an easy and simple matter to combine them into an ideal, co-operative whole. There is always enough active, irresponsible, selfish human nature there to be a disturbing element; which imposes constant care and effort to keep in proper bounds. We say this that all who are interested may understand that it is no small problem of easy accomplishment to properly manage our Town In- firmary and care for an average of 23 inmates per month during the current year. We do not claim to have an ideal home; however, we do believe it- is a good home where the inmates are well and properly cared for at a reasonable cost. NUMBER OF INMATES MONTHLY January 24 May 24 September 21 February 24 June 22 October 22 March 24 July 21 November 22 April 23 August 20 December 25 - REPORT OP PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT - 73 During the past year, great changes have taken place at the Town -Farm. At the annual Town Meeting, it was voted, on report of the Special Town Investigating Committee, to discontinue all activities by July 1. In accordance with this vote, disposition of all livestock was effected as quickly as was practical. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin W. Brown, the superintendent and matron, have continued in charge of the home, have given good service which is fully appreciated and for which we thank them. APPRECIATION We wish to extend our sincere thanks to Mr. C. N. Winship for his contributions, from time to time, of both adult and children's under- wear; the Wakefield Special Relief Committee consisting of: Mrs. Arthur B. Mason Mrs. Dennis P. Hogan Mrs. Homer Shellenberger Mrs. Michael F. Callan Mrs. Ernest L. Brown Mrs. A. Francis Harrington who have given so freely of their energy and time gratuitously to assist in the making and the distribution of clothing and other articles to welfare recipients. We also wish to thank all private individuals and organizations who donated money, toys, and candy for our Christmas work. WILLIAM C. STRONG, Chairman ADELAIDE W. BOYNTON, Secretary DENNIS P.

REPORT OP BOARD OP HEALTH 83 Report of Board of Health The accompanying statistical table will show that Wakefield has es- caped anything in the nature of an epidemic during the year 1933, and also will present a comparison of infectious and reportable diseases for the past four years: 1930 1931 1932 1933 Tuberculosis 15 12 13 12 Diphtheria 9 2 2 5 Pneumonia 21 19 16 9 Poliomyelitis 2 1 2 Measles 17 215 8 64 Mumps 12 4 3 16 Chickenpox 46 20 27 10 Whooping-cough 36 17 5 20 Septic Sore Throat 1 1 4 Scarlet Fever 23 59 42 11 Typhoid Fever 1 7 Influenza 2 1 German Measles 1 3 Cerebral Spinal Meningitis 2 Tetanus 1 Total 183 363 122 153 Miss Russell the health nurse made the following visits during the year 1933: Scarlet Fever 46 Mumps 3 Veneral Diseases 16 Poliomyelitis 7 Diphtheria 24 Whooping Cough 4 Measles 82 Tuberculosis 402 Miss Russell has also during the year made the following trips to different sanatoriums with patients: 18 trips to Middlesex County Sanitarium at Waltham. 19 trips to North Reading State Sanatorium at North Reading 1 trip to Lakeville State Sanatorium at Middleboro. 2 trips to Rutland State Sanatorium at Rutland. 84 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD The majority of these patients were ex-sanatorium patients taken back for re-examination, X-ray and treatment. Five were admitted for hos- pitalization. The 1933 statistics show a larger number of reported Diphtheria cases than we had either of the two preceding years; however it is interesting to note that there was not a single case of Diptheria reported among children who had previously been immunized. During the year Dr. Charles E. Montague, who for more than fourteen years had served as a member, and for the past four years had been its chairman, resigned from the Board, and Dr. Carl E. Allison was elected, at a conference of the Board of Health and the Selectmen, to fill out the term until the next election. During Dr. Montague's services on the Board, many forward steps have been taken. To the personal interest and work of Dr. Montague what has been accomplished in the way of immunization for diphtheria is due. This has been accomplished at no cost to the town except for the neces- sary equipment which was provided by this Board. The serum has been provided by the state. The milk situation in Wakefield now is better than ever before. All of the herds in town have been tuberculin-tested by the State Depart- ment of Animal Industry, and all reactors have been eliminated. The milk supply of the town now either comes from tuberculin -tested herds or the milk has been pasteurized. In accordance with the vote of the March town meeting, the Board of Health in June, entered into a three years' contract, beginning July 1, 1933, with Mr. Henry E. Caswell, a resident of Wakefield, for the collection of garbage at a cost of $3,300.00 per year, the garbage to be taken from the town for disposal. To date this collection has been very satisfactory with but few complaints except during the extremely cold weather in De- cember. It may be noted that garbage collection in Wakefield is low in cost, being about 20 cents each per inhabitant or about $1.00 per family for each year. The Board of Health continues of the opinion that the keeping of swine within the town limits is becoming more and more a nuisance. The Board may be expected to be more strict in the matter of granting per- mits for the keeping of swine wherever any opposition develops. During the year the care of Dumps has been accomplished by tiie use of labor supplied either by the Welfare Department or under the C. W. A. control. The supervision has been provided by the agent of this Board. This method has kept the three dumps under Board of Health control iii a very presentable condition. REPOR OF BOARD OF HEALTH 85 The Board returns to the Town Treasurer as unexpended balances; Departmental Expenses, $804.46; Garbage, $462.92; Dumps, $4.32. Respectfully submitted, WESLEY S. GOODWIN, CARL E. ALLISON, M. D. CHARLES W. DeWOLF, M. D. Report of Health Officer To the Board of Health: I herewith submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1933. The work of this department varies little from one year to another. There are the usual complaints which have to be investigated. I have in- vestigated 203 complaints,- none of which were very serious. I have made nine trips to the Middlesex County Sanatorium with patients, one to Haynes Memorial Hospital in Brighton, and one to Maiden Contagious Hospital. I have also supervised the care of the Dumps this year, the work being done by Welfare Workers.

Number of permits granted 67 Number of fixtures installed 224 Divided as follows: Bath tubs 29 Lavatories 42 Closets 52 Sinks 45 Boilers 24 Wash trays 32 I have made 166 inspections. Respectfully submitted, DAVID TAGGART Tuberculosis Dispensary Report The annual report of the Tuberculosis Dispensary is herewith respect- fully submitted. The Tuberculosis Dispensary is open the first and third Friday evenings in the month from 8 to 9, and the second and fourth Tuesday afternoons from 3.30 to 4.30. We have examined at the dispensary during the year, patients dis- charged from sanatoriums, contact cases, suspicious cases of tuberculosis, and a number of underweight children. One hundred and eleven exam- inations were made. A certain amount of follow up work has been done for these patients. Twenty-five adults were taken to No. Reading and Waltham sanatoriums for further examination of chest and to be X-rayed, and thirty children were taken to No. Reading sanatorium for chest examination, X-rays and Von Pirquet tests. There are two types of tuberculosis, the childhood type, and the adult type. Tuberculosis is generally acquired during our childhood days. If the infection is not too great and the general resistance of the child is : REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK AND FOOD 87 good, this may pass unnoticed. There may not be any symptoms what- soever, although we may easily find out whether or not the child has been infected. This is ascertained by the skin test, known as the Von Pirquet test, whether or there are any living germs in the which shows us not _ system, while the X-ray is also of help. We aim to have children who are contact cases have this Von Pirquet test, and also X-rayed. We have also provided transportation for several patients taking Pneumo-thorax treatment. This treatment consists mainly of putting the diseased lung at rest by compressing it with air, a method technically known as artificial pneumo-thorax. This method is mainly applicable when one lung is in good condition, when both lungs show active disease the result is not so good. Many patients who would have been given up as absolutely hopeless ten to fifteen years ago, are now the type who are being benefiited by the newer forms of treatment. IRA W. RICHARDSON, M.D., Dispensary Physician NELLIE B. RUSSELL, R. N., Dispensary Nurse Report of Inspector of Milk and Food To the Board of Health, Wakefield, Mass. Gentlemen I hereby submit my annual report as Inspector of Milk and Food for the year ending December 31, 1933. As you no doubt know the year just passed has been one of particular activities and marked changes in the administration of the Massachusetts Dairy Industry. Under the operation of the new State Milk Regulation Board the work of this office has increased to a considerable degree, requiring much more detail of record, closer supervision of local plants and a constant co-opera- tion with the State Departments of Health and Agriculture. The local dairymen have shown a splendid spirit of compliance with new legislation and by April 1st, 1934, all will be required to hold a permit to continue in business. I cannot emphasize too strongly at this time the excellence in quality of Wakefield raised and marketed milk. When delivered at the door it is generally two days fresher than outside milk and thereby much richer in nutrition. I would recommend, as a health measure, its universal con- 88 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD sumption by the townspeople, as to my mind it is well worth the slight advance in price to cover the cost of delivery. , In a comprehensive survey of local dairy conditions one is impressed by the thousands of dollars invested thereby in taxable property, as well as being the means of employment and livelihood to approximately 100 persons. There have been slightly fewer samples of milk tested during this year than last. The usual high quality has been maintained and in very few instances did tests fall below standard requirements. In regard to the local food situation there is nothing of an unusual nature to report. I have followed up the customary Saturday inspections and throughout the year have found very few infractions of the Regula- tions. Canned goods and cold storage food have come in for special at- tention. Refrigeration has been carefully observed during the hot sum- mer months. All complaints have been adjusted satisfactorily between the various parties concerned. The detail of records is as follows: Licenses issued Milk, Retail 88 @ $ .50 $44.00 Milk, Wholesale 25 @ .50 12.50 Milk, Pasteurization 3 @ 10.00 30.00 Oleomargerine 9 (§ .50 4.50 Ice Cream 4 @ 1.00 4.00 Total $95.00 I heartily appreciate the support and co-operation you have accorded me during the past year.

REPORT OP TOWN COUNSEL 93 Report of Town Counsel Wakefield, Mass., Jan. 1, 1934 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: As Town Counsel for the year 1933, I make the following report. Two tort actions against the town were tried together, finding for town, Melville cases. One tort action against town, finding for plaintiff $1,565.98, Nellie T. Mack, plaintiff. These cases were heard in Middlesex Superior Court without jury, the Mack case arose from plaintiff falling on sidewalk on Albion Street near the Catholic Church. One case under zoning law was brought against the building inspector who I defended, to enforce restriction of removing sand on premises of owner, and was brought to compel by writ of Mandamus in Supreme Court the inspector to act, Writ denied. Several small cases in contract for various departments of the town have been brought, some settled, others pending, the largest for Welfare Dept., resulted in a finding in District Court, Maiden for $265, by agree- ment. Some sixteen cases in tort (accident cases) are pending against the town, but as the same accident involved several persons in some of the cases there are in fact about nine cases to try when reached. Two cases are pending for assessment of damages for land or ease- ments taken by or on behalf of the town. One petition for an abatement of a sewer assessment is pending. The town's case against the New England Telephone and Telegraph Co. for damage to police department's car is still pending with good chances of an immediate settlement. Many claims against the town have been investigated, but few found which warranted settlements. Claims have been prepared for departments to prove in Bankruptcy and assignments. Various departments have been given opinions on pend- ing matters, and a great deal of time has been given to aid in matters arising from the depression, especially with respect to public work aided by the United States. I have attended hearings before the Industrial Accident Board when town compensation cases were involved. Respectfully submitted, MAYNARD E. S.

PORTER, Compensation Agent. : REPORT OP PLANNING BOARD 97 Report of Town Planning Board To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Town Hall, Wakefield, Mass. Gentlemen The Town Planning Board submits to you its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1933. In connection with the annexation of a part of the Town of Saugus lying east of Greenwood, the Town Planning Board explored the area in question, prepared a map showing its shape and relation to Wakefield, interviewed all those persons directly interested, conferred with state and county officials, and recommended favorable action by the town. This action was taken. It was proposed by the Wakefield Expansion Board that the By-Pass Highway, advocated last year by the Planning Boards of Wakefield, Stoneham and Reading, be built as a part of the Public Works Program of the State or Federal Government. The Planning Board was represented at all conferences and hearings on this project, both locally and in Boston. While favorable action has not yet been taken, the project is yet a very important one and should not be entirely abandoned. During the year a controversy arose regarding the removal of loam, sand and gravel, as business in a residential district. The matter was taken to the courts and the Planning Board became involved. It seems that this form of private enterprise in residential districts is of a detri- mental nature and is not adequately provided for in the Zoning Law. The Planning Board is therefore preparing an amendment which will require that the removal of loam, sand, or gravel, in a residential district not incidental to building construction, be forbidden unless, after hear- ings, it is shown to be not detrimental and a permit is issued permitting the action. While in some towns the Planning Boards have been conspicuous in the Government's C. W. A. program, the Wakefield Planning Board has kept in close touch with the work but has confined its activities to informal conferences with the Selectmen and others, feeling that more progress and less confusion would result from this policy. During the past year the State Legislation has made a sweeping revi- sion of its zoning laws. These changes will affect the town law and the Planning Board will, in the near future, re-study the town law and offer such amendments for town action as are necessary to make it conform with the new state requirements. At the same time recommendations will be made for revision of the Rules of the Board of Survey. Respectfully yours, E. M. BRIDGE, Chairman. 98 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD Report of Bath House Instructor Wakefield Park Board, Wakefield, Mass.: My report submitted at this time is not as pleasant as last year as we had the misfortune of having one fatal accident. A young girl 12 years old was seen and warned about carrying her younger sister, 8 years old, into deep water. They later started for the raft and the life guard on the raft heard the younger girl scream. He swam to their aid and while assisting the younger girl into a boat the t older girl sank without a struggle. Medical Examiner Perley's report was one of heart failure as little water was found in lungs. Due to an unusually cool summer the attendance was kept down. The following statistics will give you some idea as to what took place. The Bath House was open 78 days from 9 A.M. to 8 P.M., daily and on Sundays from 2 to 6 P.M. Total number in attendance , 40,80u Average daily attendance 600 Maximum attendance 2,800 Number of minor injuries 110 Number of persons needing help (beyond their depths) 31 Number of suspensions 6 Number of serious accidents 1 I recommend that a good boat with chain and anchor be purchased.

Through the co-operation and assistance of the Garden Club, we were able to make a start on the beau- tification of this area. Granite edging was constructed around the upper or westerly triangular plot, and all three plots were graded and seeded. Men from the Welfare Department did the work. The Government through the Civil Works Administration approved eight projects laid out and supervised by the Highway Department. These projects represent an expenditure by the Government of approximately $66,000.00, and $5,500.00 by the Town. There are five drainage projects, one ledge removal, one street widening, and one playground development. Respectfully submitted, HARRY H. DENNING, Superintendent of Streets.. REPORT OP WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD 107 24th Annual Report of the Wakefield Water and Sewerage Board The Wakefield Water and Sewerage Board presents herewith its annual report, covering operations of the Department for the year ending December 31, 1933. Detailed figures will be found in the report of the Town Accountant. Receipts Expenditures Water Rates $76,604.48 Maintenance $33,385.53 Hydrant Rental 8,575.00 Services 1,894.17 Services 1,706.24 Construction 2,188.97 Turn -ens 126.00 Bonds Retired 23,000.00 All Other 102.23 Interest on Debt 7,446.25 Commissioners' Salaries 270.00 $68,184.92 Credit Balance 18,929.03 ' $87,113.95 $87,113.95 The analysis of the filtered water indicated that the niters are operat- ing efficiently as in previous years. During the process of scraping, it was necessary to remove about six hundred cubic yards of sand which will have to be replaced this year. While resanding these niters, it will be necessary to provide an addi- tional supply of water. The Board strongly recommends that permananet pumping equipment be purchased and installed at the wells for this purpose. Under a vote of the Town at a meeting held on September 21, the Department was authorized to borrow $70,000.00 from the U. S. Govern- ment, contingent upon a grant of $30,000.00 from the same source, this money to be used in a P. W. A. project of relaying old cement water mains. Upon receipt of a telegram stating that the project had been approved and the money allocated, the material was purchased and the project started. The work was continued until December 20, when due to the cold weather and frost in the ground, the labor cost was approximately forty per cent more, and it was not deemed economically feasible to continue. It will be necessary during the coming year to examine and repair the cages on the pump suctions. Lake Quannapowitt has received its usual care and attention, copper sulphate having been applied on August 1, 1933. We recommend that this treatment be continued. 108 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD The Superintendent's report which follows gives in more detail in- formation as to construction, improvements and so forth, which will be of interest to the Town.

A concrete floor, four inches thick also was installed in standpipe number two, located on Hart's Hill. New windows and frames were installed to replace old . ones where necessary, and also new gutters put in the dwelling house at the Pumping Station. A new Dodge coupe was purchased, during the year. WATER SUPPLY Our source of water supply, Crystal Lake, continues to be of good quality as usual, and the elevation of the lake on December 31 was 21.5 inches below high water mark. The filter plant, which has been in operation since February 8, 1928, is rendering excellent service, but during that time approximately nine inches of sand has been removed in the process of scraping. The same amount will have to be replaced during the coming year. LOW LEVEL SEWER SYSTEM The Low Level Sewer System and Pumping Station, installed in 1926, are still giving excellent service. 112 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD SEWER MAINTENANCE The entire system has received two inspections, and also has been thoroughly brushed and cleaned during the year. However, it will be necessary during the coming year to replace a considerable number of manhole covers and frames which have become badly worn due to the very heavy traffic of today. SEWER CONNECTIONS Applications for house connections to date 1729 Number of connections made 1619 Number of connections made during year 25 Number of connections waiting SEWER CONSTRUCTION No sewer extension or construction was done during the year 1933. In conclusion, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to each and every member of the Department for his co-operation in all emergencies during the year. I also extend my thanks to the heads and members of the various Town Departments for their support and co-operation during the year. Respectfully submitted, MORRISON MERRILL, Superintendent. REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD 113 Report of the Municipal Light Board To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield: We submit for your consideration the fortieth annual report of the Municipal Light Board, covering the year ending December 31, 1933. The results from the operation of the Department as a whole are quite satisfactory, after taking into consideration the general business con- ditions during the past year. The total profit after deducting debt retire- ments for 1933 were $22,276.57 as against $31,795.55 for 1932. The decrease in our net profit is due almost entirely, to a loss in gas sales. In 1932 our gas sales were $129,316 and in 1933, $116,747 a difference of about 9.7%. We are not however, any worse off in this respect than the privately owned companies of New England; the American Gas Association reports a decrease in revenue of 8.7%. Our electric sales show a slight increase over 1932, due to a greater consumption by domestic users and to a slight gain in industrial activity. The expense of the electric, department increased somewhat, so that the net profit, before debt retirements was $27,471 as compared to $30,472 for 1932. We are again asking the Town to appropriate $18,000 for street light- ing. In 1933 the Town voted to take this same amount from the balance of our operating fund, so that it did not cost the Town anything for this service. In addition to the $18,000 turned over to the Town, we have furnished materials and service to the town to the extent of $5,822.80. The balance of our Operation Fund is $16,526.57 as compared to $31,687.59 for 1932. This decrease is due to decreased income and slowness in the collection of outstanding account. A new rate schedule for commercial power became effective January 1, 1933. This was the only change made in our rates during the year. The report of the Manager showing the financial condition of the plant, as of December 31, 1933 and its operations of the year, are included in this report. The books of the Department are being audited by C. O. Huntington and Company, Certified Public Accountants. Respectfully submitted, MARCUS BEEBE, 2nd, Chairman, A. FRANCIS HARRINGTON, Secretary, CURTIS L. SOPHER, Board of Commissioners, Municipal Light Department January 16, 1934 : 114 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD To the Board of Light Commissioners, Town of Wakefield, Massachusetts. Gentlemen I submit herewith my annual report of this Department for the year ending December 31, 1933. GAS DEPARTMENT The net sales of this section were $116,747.78, the operating expense $108,186.43 and a net operating income of $8,561.35 for 1933; in 1932 the net income was $13,823.18. ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT The net sales of this section were $180,378.29; the operating expense $149,341.74 with a net operating income of $3L036,55 for 1933; in 1932 this figure was $30,472.37. BONDED DEBT This item has been reduced from $111,500.00 to $99,000.00. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Plant investments and general equipment have decreased $11,881.44, :this is due to excess of depreciation over construction. With the decision of the Selectmen to relay with concrete, the side- walk on the East side of Main Street between Mechanic Street and Cres- cent Street, this department laid a new 6 inch steel gas main in the sidewalk location and connected all services to this new main, abandoning the old 6 inch cast iron main in the traveled way. The same was done ivith the West side of Main Street from Albion Street south to the existing concrete sidewalk. This enabled the department to do away with long services crossing Main Street, and the old main laid fifty or sixty years ago, that have been a source of annoyance, the deterioration of the line causing leaks. The improvement of Lowell Street from Main Street to the Reading line with State and County aid, made the extension of the present main ;to Line Road advisable before construction of the Road surface. Chestnut Street from Park Avenue to Prospect Street old cast iron 4" main was replaced by 4" steel pipe. This old main was broken many times in the past by heavy traffic and blasting. The usable lengths of old main were salvaged and used to replace the V&" pipe in Auburn Street. A short extension of main was made in Lassell Street. The mains on : REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD 115 West Water Street, North Avenue and Main Street south of Mechanic Street have been stripped and examined for leaks. The old line in Water Street from Main Street to the railroad crossing has been abandoned and connections made to the existing 4" steel main that was a part of the old high pressure system now discarded. The process of resufacing Main Street from Hart's Hill to the railroad crossing warranted the abandonment of the old 3" gas main between Bennett Street and Charles Street, and connecting all services and the mains in Charles, Summer and Franklin Streets with the 6" line which is continuous to Greenwood. A supplementary three phase aerial line has been placed on poles in Foundry Street to Broadway as a standby unit in the power line to the Water Department Pumping Station and Broadway. The underground lines of the electric system have been extended somewhat, due to the Main Street sidewalk construction, they were ex- tended from the existing manhole near the Universalist Church to Cres- cent Street across the lower end of the Common to existing ducts at Lafa- yette Street and southerly on Common and Main Streets to Avon Street; so that, when/if, the underground system is extended through Yale Avenue and Avon Street from North Avenue a circuit will be available.

Although faced with the difficult problem of running an increased business with a decreased budget, the Trustees feel a real pleasure in be- ing able to report another year of progress. To keep the high level of service which the Wakefield public expects, eternal vigilance has been necessary and without the loyal co-operation of Miss Carleton and her able staff this report would tell a very different story. To each one of them the Trustees wish to express appreciation. The stimulation which comes from increased service has been felt in every department. The double session at the High School with the consequent closing of the Charles H. Howe Memorial Library,- greatly increased the use of the Reference Room by the High School pupils. Unemployment, too, has brought many readers to the Library. With every seat filled, sometimes it has been difficult to maintain the quiet desirable in a room designed for study and research. That the closing of the High School Library brought problems to another town department as well as to the Library was shown when the School Department requested the privilege of sending a representative to the October meeting of the Trustees. Mrs. W. S. Ripley presented the difficulties felt at the High School because of the lack of Library facilities there, and asked that a member of the staff of The Lucius Beebe Memorial Library be loaned to the High School for three hours each school day. After weighing the matter at considerable length, the Trustees agreed to try the plan till January and from October 9 through the rest of the school term, Miss Louise Sheldon took charge of the High School Library each school day. Because Miss Sheldon has catalogued each new book added to the Beebe Library for several years and thus knows it resources, she was able to be of great service in correlating the two libraries. A new plan has been tried in regard to overdue books. After the second overdue card has been sent without result, Mr. Mitchell, the janitor, is sent to collect both book and fine. About one trip a month has been made, and more books have been secured than by the previous method. The time is fast approaching when additional stack room will be necessary. Until normal times return, however, the Trustees do not feel justified in asking for the expenditure that would be necessary, and have been using every device that can be thought of to increase space. Bound magazines have been placed on top of the shelves in the alcove of the Newspaper Room; magazines for circulation will be kept on file in the Newspaper Room instead of on open shelves; and the space thus gained in the stacks will help the congestion quite materially. It is hoped also that the magazines will be kept in better condition. Drawers in the Reference Room have been changed to shelves with sliding doors and a considerable gain in space made available there. REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES 141 On May 30, the whole community was shocked by the tragic death of Mi*. J. Oliver Beebe. Mr. Beebe had been a member of the Board since 1920, and since 1924 had served as chairman. The following appreciation was sent by the Trustees to the members of his family, to the Daily Item, and was spread upon the records: "The Trustees of the The Lucius Beebe Memorial Library wish to express to the family and friends of Mr. J. Oliver Beebe their sincere appreciation of .his services as a member of the board. "Coming to the board as one of the youngest members who ever had served, he brought from the first an enthusiastic concentration on all matters pertaining to the Library. As the years went by and his business cares increased, no lessening of his interest in Library affairs was evident. "He was notably faithful in his attendance, serving first as a member and then for nine years as chairman of the Board, bringing always to the meetings a stimulating buoyancy. His grasp of all practical matters was remarkable in its swiftness and acumen. "In every way he showed a fairness of spirit and a desire to per- petuate the finest traditions of the Beebe family." A few weeks later in a joint session of Selectmen and Trustees, Mr. Albert W. Rockwood was elected to fill out the year of Mr. Beebe 's service. Almost at the same hour of this meeting another vacancy on the Board occurred through the death of Mr. Edson W. White. This second less in so short a time was felt keenly by every member of the Board. The following appreciation was sent to Mrs. White, to the Daily Item, and was spread upon the records. "The Trustees of The Lucius Beebe Memorial Library wish to express to the family and friends of Mr. Edson W. White their sincere appreciation of his services as a member of the Board. "The genial, whimsical humor, the staunchness, the unbiased judgment which he brought to Library problems were qualities which endeared him to those with whom he was associated. Mr. White's service to the town lasting through a period of thirty-three years, demonstrates a life of de- votion to the best interests of his community." In October at a joint session of Trustees and Selectmen, Mr. Walter C. Hickey was elected to fill out the year of Mr. White's term. In September the Board received a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Junius Beebe announcing a gift of $5000 to establish a Library Fund in the name of their son Oliver. In accordance with a wish previously expressed by Mr. Oliver Beebe, the income of the Fund is to be used for general pur- poses peculiar to the Library but for which the town might be reluctant to pay. 142 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD Mr. and Mrs. Beebe also have given a fine picture of their son, which has been hung in the Trustees' Room, and at Christmas they gave the beautiful decorations of the Library in his memory. There have been other gifts of pictures, flowers, books and magazines from generous friends, Mr. Harris Dolbeare and Mr. Gardner Campbell have continued to give generously of the space in the Daily Item. The column, "Your Public Library," each week, is watched for by many patrons who are grateful to the Item, too, as are also the Staff and Trustees. To all these friends, to Mr. Warner V. Taylor, formerly of Wakefield, who gave us Fortune Magazine for 1933, and to the Mothers' Club for their annual gift, the Trustees wish to extend their thanks. Because within two years four new members have come to the Board, the Trustees gathered at the Greenwood Branch Library before the December meeting in order that both old and new members might see the improvements brought about through the interest of Miss Clara Wilson who is in charge of the Branch. The rooms are inviting and homelike and are taking a real place in the community life. Decorations suitable to the various seasons are arranged and there is always some scene in the glass case of interest to both children and grow-ups. In December it was a lively scene from the "Birds' Christmas Carol." In November the Selectmen asked for co-operation from all depart- ments in planning projects for C. W. A. workers. For a long time the general catalogues have needed revision and four women assistants were assigned for this work. Cleaning and painting outside and in also were undertaken. The Trustees realize that the detailed supervision of this work, particularly the recataloging, has thrown much additional work and responsibility on Miss Carleton just at the close of the year when of necessity her program is a heavy one. Her interest and willingness, however, have been unfailing, no matter, how trying the situation. The circulation for the year 1933 is as follows: Adult Juvenile Total Main Library 135,897 48,126 184,023 Greenwood Branch 34,464 23,861 58,325 School 7,893 Total 250,241 tie picture circulation was 4,851. Although within ten years the circulation has more than doubled, there is an increase of 6,428 this year. For the year 1934, the Trustees recommend for the appropriation $17,500. FLORENCE L.

Meads, 240 Lowell Street 152 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE To the Citizens of Wakefield: The year 1933 brought little improvement in the general financial condition of the town and the problems which the School Department faced in 1932 were accentuated. However, the School Committee has endeavored at all times to co-operate with the Town Finance Committee, has accepted all cuts in the budget, and has lived within its appropriation. The committee asked for $263,000.00 for 1933, which sum in itself was a re- duction of $47,000.00 from the amount originally appropriated for 1932. The Finance Committee reduced this to $256,000.00. To meet this cut of $7,000.00, the department found it necessary in ad- dition to practising ordinary economies, to: Suspend the domestic arts and printing departments in the High School. Limit manual training to the pupils of the High School and to boys electing the Industrial Arts Course. Increase the size of classes in the Eighth Grade afternoon session, thus releasing one teacher. Give the drawing supervisor for the grades leave of absence. Give the High School librarian leave of absence. Increase the size of classes in the Lincoln School and the number of classes per teacher in the High School. Save the salaries of two teachers by not electing successors to one, in the Lincoln School, who retired, and another in the Franklin School, who resigned to be married. Close the Hamilton building; transfer and combine the special classes with similar classes at the Franklin building, thus saving the salary of one teacher, who was released and general operating expenses, including the cost of a janitor. Buy coal only for the closing months of 1933, instead of for the full school year. Postpone purchase of books. Transfer the Hurd School seventh grade pupils to the Lincoln build- building and ing, thus making it possible to close one room in the Hurd transfer one teacher to the Franklin building. in the general conduct of The fact that rigid economy was practiced repair job that might be termed the schools and that there was but one Committee to purchase emergency and expensive, made it possible for the REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 153 the remainder of the winter's supply of coal and much-needed books for the high and grade schools. This, it should be noted, effected an equiv- alent reduction in the budget for 1934. The Committee asks for $250,000.00 for 1934, which sum is $6,000.00 less than the appropriation for 1933, thus giving evidence of continued co- operation with the Finance Committee in its endeavor to keep the total of town appropriations at a figure which will prevent an increase in the tax rate. Economies which have resulted in the discontinuance of Domestic Arts for girls and printing for boys in the High School, partial suspension of the functions of the High School library, and limitation of manual training not only to the High School, but to boys in the Industrial Arts Course, naturally have given rise to the question whether or not the with- drawal of these educational offerings is a loss to the pupils. Public opinion is divided on the subject. One group believes that instruction in cooking and sewing for girls and handcraft for boys are vital concomitants of a modern educational system. Another group believes that these subjects, or at least cooking and sewing for girls, are functions of the home. Your School Committee believes that these are questions demanding thought and attention which they will soon receive, but the fact remains that the academic courses are all the town can support under existing conditions of finance and accomodations. It should be also borne in mind that high per capita cost and relatively small enrollment of pupils in these courses focused attention on them when further economy became necessary. Our Superintendent and our High School and other principals, are firm in their belief that such courses are essential to hold interest in schooling among those pupils who are not gifted mentally for average or high grade work in academic subjects. These problems and recommendations will be given serious study before the next Fall term begins. Because of the recognized importance of penmanship, and because of assurance of the value of supervision, the Committee rescinded earlier action and reappointed the supervisor of penmanship. With the exception of this and the supervisor of music, all other special supervision, includ- ing drawing in the grades, has been eliminated in the search for economies. For the sake of brevity, other acts or votes of the School Committee and facts of public interest occurring in 1933, are summarized as follows: Tuition cost in High School reduced to $101.00, a reduction of about $15.00; and in grade schools to $62.65. This applies to pupils living outside town borders but educated here. Annexation of a small section of Saugus just east of the Greenwood district will produce a loss in revenue to the town on about thirteen pupils at $62.65 per pupil, formerly paid to Wake- field by Saugus. The per capita cost of education in Wakefield is $89.26 for all pupils, including High School, compared with an average of $99.16 for the sixty 154 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD towns and cities of Massachusetts having 5,000 or more population. The cost of education in Wakefield has been reduced more than twenty per cent since 1931. Although in sympathy with the national movement to increase or restore wages, the Committee has fixed its budget request for 1934 on the basis of continuing the ten-percent salary cut voted by the town on July 1, 1932, knowing that the Town Finance Committee considers this necessary and that the policy will be followed by all other town boards. Steps have been taken to prevent mutilation of books in the school and town libraries by requiring that teachers shall not give essay assign- ments calling for illustration, except that original drawings, tracings or newspaper clippings will be permitted. Fees for use of the High and other school auditoriums have been adjusted upward, to make the revenue more in keeping with the expense of heat, light and depreciation. The No-School signal has been abolished, except for grades 1 to 7 inclusive. This is the third winter season in which the evening school has not been operated, with a consequent saving in school cost. The intelligence test system continues suspended. Inasmuch as the former supervisor is now otherwise engaged, pupils on the age border- line no longer can be tested for admission to the first grade. Telephones discontinued in the Hurd and West Ward schools have been restored as of January 1, 1934, because the Committee believes that their value in emergencies and in establishing contact with the admin- istrative offices outweighs the relatively small cost. The principal of the High School and the masters of the eighth grades, have been given authority to consult with parents and pupils and deter- mine whether pupils entering the high school are competent to pursue the college course. This procedure has resulted in a marked reduction in the number of failures in Latin in the freshman class. Changes have been made in the system of marking pupils for gradu- ation honors in the High School which place emphasis on quality rather than quantity in accomplishment, and will serve to eliminate so-called "padding" of courses to obtain credits. Gifts of statuary and pictures made by earlier classes to the old High School have been cleaned, re-framed or restored, and will be placed in suitable locations in the present High School building. It has been voted to require non-resident parents whose children at- tend Wakefield schools to pay all tuition bills of the previous school year REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 155 by September 1. This does not apply to tuition paid by other municipalities or the State. The Committee has taken a formal stand against the use of Walton Field at the High School for Sunday sports of any kind. A more advantageous contract has been made for care of shrubbery on school grounds. The Committee has co-operated with the Selectmen and Highway Department in plans to re-locate Wakefield Brook; and in connection with this town drainage project, to effect a better drainage system for the lower end of the athletic field. A closer advisory contact with the High School Athletic Association has been established through the appointment of two members of the School Committee to the Wakefield High School Athletic Council, and they are members of the Wakefield High School Athletic Association Board of Directors. That they may be nearer their duties and in a position to give after- school help to pupils needing it, the Committee has requested all teachers, to reside in Wakefield during the school year. Exceptions have been made in cases in which non-resident teachers live with parents or are wholly or partially maintaining homes with relatives, and in which com- pliance with this request would work hardship or financial loss. Steps have been taken to bring about the transfer from the now- inactive High School Parent Teacher Association to the custody of the School Committee the Charles H. Howe Memorial Library Fund and the Elizabeth F. Ingram Scholarship Fund. The department gratefully acknowledges the co-operation of the Beebe Memorial Library Trustees in loaning a librarian, Miss Louise Sheldon, for part time operation of the High School library during part of the Fall term until December 31, 1933, and recognizes the able service given by Miss Sheldon. As this arrangement could not be continued after January 1, for financial reasons, one of the cadet teachers is now in charge. Military drill continues suspended, as the double session plans make it imposible for a worthwhile number of boys to participate. For the second season the School Department has co-operated with the Wakefield Recreation Commission by granting free use of the High School gymnasium, two evenings a week, for the women's gym classes. It has co-operated with the relief authorities in loaning the school sewing machines for the Civil Works Service sewing project for unemployed women. The School Committee has made a practice of confining its purchases to local business houses when they had the goods needed, and of inviting bids from the local firms when they had the service to offer. 156 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD The long-standing failure of the Warren School heating system to properly heat the corridors is still a problem. Plans have been prepared, but estimated cost of the labor and supplies has been beyond the means of the department during this period of enforced economy. Every summer in recent years it has been necessary to replace parts of the cement walks and platforms around the high school, because of faulty construction and insufficient drainage under the cement work when they were laid eleven years ago. General repairs in 1933 to school property were not large or expensive. The exterior of the old West Ward school was painted and the interior has been given some attention. Some painting was done at Greenwood and, later in the year, a Civil Works Administration project in connection with the Federal relief work enabled the department to have six more class rooms and the auditorium painted. Paint for this project was sup- plied by the School Department. Sufficient paint for an extensive interior painting project in the High School was purchased at the same time, to take advantage of a favorable price, and is being held in storage, pending an extension of the C. W. A. projects or the Committee's financial ability to have the work done by private contract. The only major repair job was that at the Woodville School, where roof leakage forced an expenditure of slightly less than $800.00. An additional expenditure will be necessary for caulking windows and doors, for which the contract has been awarded, and fairly heavy expense for repointing brick work and masonry on this build- ing may be anticipated in the near future. The balcony in the gymnasium at the High School was boarded up, the seats removed, and the space made ready as a locker room. This work was done by the Athletic Association. The balcony and some of the ad- joining ante-rooms were painted by the C. W. A. workers. Since the opening of schools in September, the committtee has taken advantage of an offer by several young teachers to do "cadet" work in the schools; i.e., assisting the teachers, and aiding pupils needing addi- tional help. One of these is supplying some of the service formerly given by the drawing supervisor in the grades. These cadet teachers serve with- out compensation, for the sake of keeping in training, and their service is rendered without obligation on the part of the School Department. Following the closing of the Hamilton School, the use of the building was turned over to St. Joseph's Parochial School, which assumes all op- erating costs. During the year, Henry N. Oliver, Woodville School janitor, passed away and was succeeded by Eugene Lenners, transferred from the closed Hamilton School. Late in the year, on request of Lynnfleld citizens, the Committee ex- REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 157 pressed the sentiment that it contemplated no change in the arrangement by which high school pupils from Lynnfield attended the Wakefield High School. As yet, with the double sessions, the presence of about one hun- dred Lynnfield pupils creates no seating problem and the tuition arrange- ment is of financial advantage to the town. The principal of the High School reports a total enrollment for the regular four years of 1120. The morning session of the three upper classes, totaling 763 pupils, nearly fills the building to the capacity originally pro- vided. Enrollment is divided as follows: Boys Girls Total Post Graduates 13 14 27 Seniors 92 99 191 Juniors 119 125 244 Sophomores 147 154 301 Freshmen 181 176 357 552 568 1120 The principal believes that the standard of work is not as high as. when the longer day gave teachers more time to devote to slow or indif- ferent pupils; that the freshmen and eighth grades are more seriously affected than upper classes; that with more children unable to attend college there should be more rather than less vocational work; and that the elimination of the domestic arts department has been a distinct loss to girls. New or changed courses for eighth grade pupils incompetent to do regular high school work are recommended. He reports satisfactory results from the experiment of 1933 in guiding pupils away from the college preparatory course if they are not capable of doing the work. Continued progress and satisfactory work in education and character building are reported by him for the Boys' Glee Club, the Hi-Y Club, the Inter Nos Club for girls, the High School Orchestra and the Boys' Band. This year's program changes make it possible for practically every pupil to attend physical training classes, but the classes are large. Locker- room problems demand solution. Because of the size of the graduating classes and the tendency of graduates to seek pleasure elsewhere during the evening of the reception, the principal recommends some change in the old system. This problem is to receive the immediate attention of the committee. In athletics, the High School won the basketball championship of the Middlesex League last year and had a notable year in cross-country run- ning, winning the equivalent of the championship. As a reward, the prin- cipal runners were given a trip to the Interscholastic Meet at Newark, New Jersey, which was financed largely by the school. In football, the season of 1933 was less successful than in 1932, due to the loss of star 158 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD players, injuries, ineligibility, and the fact that schools above Wakefield's class were opponents. Facts of public interest from the reports of other elementary school principals are: Report by teachers' committee on selection of geography books adopted and books purchased. Improvement is noted in teaching of English under Open Door Langu- age Book system. Special English books for High School industrial department and "re- peaters" adopted. Penmanship of high standard, attributed to supervisory work, results in high percentage of pupils winning merit awards. Safety instruction emphasized in Greenwood School. School savings system discontinued by Savings Bank, pending more prosperous times. Franklin School playground reported in poor condition and at times unfit for children. Special work in character training has been started in the Warren School. The report of the School Physician appears to indicate, on basis of statistical information, that the health of school children has not suffered under economic conditions due to the depression. There has been no in- crease in number of pupils under weight, in fact there was an actual de- crease in the number of under-weight notices issued, although statistics are not sufficiently complete to detect small variations. Candidates for athletic teams have been examined, games attended and minor injuries dressed. All pupils immunized in 1932 for diphtheria were "Schicked" and posi- tive or non-immune cases re-immunized. The total number was 329. The parents or guardians of all children in the first three grades were invited to have their children immunized, and 263 pupils were so treated. The following is an illustration of how it works. A child of pre-school age was sick for a few days with sore throat. A few days later his older brother developed a severe case of diphtheria, and upon culture the first child was found to have the disease. Three other children of the family who had been immunized remained well. In another family the immunized children remained well. In both instances they were in close contact throughout the disease. There have been very few working certificates issued this year, and consequently few examinations. REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 159 The pupils in the first grade, sixth grade, special classes and first year high school have been given a complete physical examination and the results entered on the health cards. As a result, 575 notices of defects were issued, of which 227 were for defective teeth, 245 for defective or dis- eased tonsils, 41 for underweight, 14 for organic lesion of heart, 16 for contagious or parasitic skin disease, and the balance for minor defects. This runs very close to the results of last year's examinations. All the other pupils have been examined for defective teeth and dis- eased tonsils, and disease of the exposed skin and eyelids, and as a result, 904 notices issued, of which 584 were for diseased teeth or gums, 310 for defective or diseased tonsils, 8 for diseased eyelids and the balance for minor defects. There is some apparent neglect in caring for diseased teeth, but not markedly more than usual. There was an actual decrease in the number of underweight notices issued, though the statistics are not sufficiently complete to detect small variations ; that is, notices are not issued unless the child varies 10% from the established chart. The School Nurse has made visits as listed below: Homes Visited 246 Children given first aid treatment 92 Children X-rayed 27 Children improved as shown by X-ray 12 Children recommended for summer camp 4 Children immunized against diphtheria 263 Children schicked 328 Attendance Officer's Report Collected books and money from pupils that had left school 31 Placed in Training School 2 Sickness 91 Truancy 81 Tardy 16 Kept cut by Parents or guardians 11 Lack of shoes and clothing and food 83 Found on street and taken to school 7 Found on street and taken to home 2 Found in homes and taken to school 13 Misdemeanors on school grounds 7 Holding warrant for good behavior 3 Suspensions 8 Home Employment Certificates 11 Factories and Stores visited 16 Pupils left school 11 Left school to go to work 5 General disobedience 13 Investigated and found them moved 8 160 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD Girls taken home because of illness 3 Boys taken home because of illness 2 Taken to court and placed on probation 10 Schools visited frequently I have made several calls at the homes of pupils in the evenings and on Sundays and have talked with the parents regarding their children on several things, with good results. APPROPRIATION AND RECEIPTS The Committee has submitted a budget which calls for an appropri- ation of $250,000.00 for the year of 1934. Properly deductible from this amount is about $40,000.00, the estimated receipts through the Department. Although these receipts are paid into the Town Treasury, they favorably affect the tax rate and leave about $210,000.00 to be raised by local taxation. The estimated receipts are from the following sources: Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on account of teachers $22,650.00 Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Tuition, State Wards 2,000.00 Town of Lynnfield, Tuition 11,590.00 City of Boston, Tuition, City Wards 2,000.00 Town of Saugus, Tuition 62.50 Town of Stoneham, Tuition 200.00 Individual Tuitions 913.00 Shop Receipts 400.00 Miscellaneous 100.00 $39,915.50 DR.

She's built to weather any gale By restless Seas of Life unfurled. Her course is narrow, long, and straight; But still undaunted waits her crew, Ambitious now to challenge Fate And bring the ship her honor due. For THIRTY-THREE we name this ship; And Classmates, all must pass the test Of sailing on a toilsome trip To reach new land—our future quest. Our Captain has prepared us well, It's now our turn the helm to take; And hence our parting thought we tell: "We can, we will" our journey make!
