The Library has again been the recipient of many gifts of books and magazines. The Librarian and Trus- tees would especially like to thank the Daniel Camp- bell family for their generous gift in memory of Mrs. Annie Foster, with which the Library has purchased a valuable reference book. Such Memorial gifts are a wonderful way of perpetuating the memory of a rela- tive or dear friend and are most welcome to the Library. Some six hundred books have been classified and cata-

loged ; the library has subscribed to nine magazines and an additional two hundred pamphlets have been made available to our borrowers. This year the emphasis has been on adult books while next year a larger per- centage of children's books will be purchased. We have greatly missed Miss Susie Eastman whose illness has prevented her spending her usual hours in the Library. We were also sorry to lose Mrs. Jeanne Saben who has been our card typist for several years and who is now with her husband and son in Florida. Our sincere thanks to Mrs. Ann Tarney and Mrs. Gladys Ibey for their loyal and efficient service in this Library this past year. Respectfully submitted, Nellie L. Pierce, Librarian

During the year the Commission has built a bath house and concession on the shore of the bathing area at the cost of $1,241.50. This is somewhat higher than was anticipated but we feel that we have a very good building and it should fill our need for the future. Some more bulldozing work was done on the beach area and with the placing of a few more railroad ties plus changing some that are already in the bathing area, work should be pretty well done.

It is the hope of the Commission to do more work during 1960 on the parking and picnic area, such as building toilet facilities which is a job that must be done this year. Also changing the road over so we can have a much better entry to the parking area. It will also allow us to enlarge the parking area. We would also like to enlarge the picnic area and put in more tables. Many times this past summer the tables were all full and people were waiting for them.

58 During the season we experimented with charging for parking, the results were very good. The few times we charged for parking $45.50 was collected. There were some who found fault and objected but the ma- jority were willing to pay and wanted to know why we had not done it before. In the past the Commission has made arrangements to store the tables and barrels and ^ other equipment in different places. During the hauling back and forth, some equipment became damaged and had to be re- paired. So, this fall Ave decided to leave the tables and equipment in the area and see what the results would be. If not favorable then we can go ahead and find some place to store them in 1960. The Concession was turned over to MjTs. Ruth Campbell on a trial basis with the understanding that she was to help keep the area picked up and as clean as possible. Also, to generally surpervise the area and see that the regulations were obeyed as much as possible. A very good job was done.

The development of the area is not going along as fast as we would like, but when you take into consider- ation what we had two years ago, and what we have now, we come up with a very satisfactory feeling and we hope the Towns people do also. Our sincere thanks to those who have given time and money and assistance to the project. If we have forgotten to mention anyone who gave us help in this report, we ask their forgiveness and our thanks to them. Respectfully submitted,

Enfield Recreation Commission Frederick E. Sanders, Chairman Harry Hazen, Secretary James A. Reagan, Treas. Willie Dunham Francis LaBounty

59 REPORT OF FOREST FIRE WARDEN

We had one forest fire in the town of Enfield in 1959 during the dry period in April, the only period with any

real fire danger during the year.

This fire had a total suppression cost of $945.69, one half of which was reimbursed by the State, according to their standard rates.

There was no question that this fire was started by a discarded cigarette from a passing motorist, and as the most of you know, it caused several hours of hard work on the part of many, to bring it under control.

I wish to thank the citizens and visiting guests of Enfield for their good judgment and extreme care used in their burning operations in 1959, also the Town Offi- cers and Deputy Wardens for their help and urge their cooperation in 1960.

Number of permits issued 270.

To the School Board and Citizens of Entield :

I present herein my annual report for 1959, my sixth annual report as Superintendent of Schools in En-

field. In preparing the report I have used freely from material submitted by Mr. Richard S. Lovejoy, Princi- pal, in his annual report to me. NEW PRINCIPAL Mr. Ralph L. Staples, after two years of good service in the Enfield School, resigned in July to accept a principalship of the high school in Charlestown. We regretted seeing Mr. Staples leave but all wish him every possible success and happiness in his new position. We were very fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Richard S. Lovejoy, as successor to Mr. Staples. Mr. Lovejoy has his Bachelor's Degree from Colby Col- lege and his Master's Degree in Education from the University of Maine. He has also done study at Bos- ton University. Before coming to Enfield he had thir- teen years experience as a teacher and principal, his last principalship was in Alton, New Hampshire high school. He left that position to go into government Civil Ser- vice. During the war he was a captain in the United States Air Force, serving largely in the South Pacific. In the short time that he has been in Enfield, Mr. Love- joy has already demonstrated that he is an able leader and educator. OVERCROWDING The overcrowded conditions of the school became increasingly acute this year. The line-up of classes in the early part of the year was as follows

Mrs. Beede

Mrs.Tarney Mrs. Allen Mrs. Cobb Total Elementary

It soon became apparent that the situations in the fourth grade and the seventh grade were impossible from the point of view of effective work with the pupils. In order to correct the fourth grade situation, the classes were lined up as follows be more effective teaching. The change seems to be having beneficial results, although double grades are not desirable if they can be avoided. In order to alleviate the situation in grade se\'en, Mrs. Lovejoy was employed on a half-time basis. This made it possible to divide the seventh grade into two sections for some of its work. There is no question but what the needs of the pupils are being better met. This division of the seventh grade presented difficulty in find- ing rooms in which to hold the classes of the extra section. The difficulty was resolved by using the home economics kitchen, the home economics room, the com- mercial room, and the laboratory when they happened to be free. It was also necessary to schedule classes in the gymnasium. Every room in the building is now used almost 100 percent of the time. Obviously, the rooms enumerated above are not particularly satisfactory for regular classes. This is particularly true of the home economics kitchen and the gymnasium. From all of the information that we now have, the situation will be just as bad or worse next year. This overcrowding and the potential future overcrowding has been emphasized before. I sincerely hope that some- thing may be done in the near future to alleviate the situation. COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL

I am pleased to report that the State Department of Education has approved Enfield High School as a comprehensive High School for the school year 1959-60. The report from the State Department emphasized, however, that Mr. Lovejoy should be a full-time principal in a school as large as Enfield's. At present he is having to do some teaching. We are getting approval at present by having one of the other teachers assist in the guidance, testing and administrative work that Mr. Lovejoy would be doing if he were not teaching.

99 Two girls are having Latin this year through a cor- respondence course from the University of Nebraska. They wanted the work to better prepare them for a school of nursing. The course is approved by the State Department.

National Defense Education Act

The equipment that we have had to assist in teaching of science, mathematics and foreign language has not been adequate, especially with the increased emphasis in those fields. We are glad, therefore, that Enfield has appropriated money to match dollar for dollar the funds allotted to us under the Federal Defense Educa- tion Act. These funds enable us. in effect, to buy equipment for fifty cents on the dollar. We are getting equipment this year that will be of great value. I hope that we may take advantage of the same opportunity in 1960-61.

Custodians

I want to pay tribute to our custodians, Mr. Will- iam Shurtleff and Mr. Sidney Davis. They do well the regular work of custodians in keeping the building clean and in good condition. Furthermore, they save the School District a substantial amount of money by doing a very considerable amount of painting and other maintenance work.

Professional Improvement

I want to commend the following members of the school stafi^ for their professional improvement work. Shown below is what they have done during the year.
