MARCH 12, 1957

The Annual Town Meeting, March 12, 1957 was held at the High School Auditorium. The Meeting was opened at ten A.M.

Prayer was offered by the Rev. J. Holland Maughan, Pastor of the Baptist Church.

Prayer for Town Meeting We come before Thee, Lord, this day as citizens of this community, asking for Thy blessing in all that is best within and about us, and for Thy pardon for all wherein we have fallen short of what we should have done had we been worthy of the greatness of the past, and the hopes of the present, and the call to higher things in the days that lie before us.

Help us to remember, Lord, that unless Thou build the community, they labor in vain that strive to build

it. And so make every one of us willing to labor with unwearying faithfulness at the work of making our community great in all that is of Thy blessed purpose.

Awaken us anew to righteous activities for the good of our community, that the children of today may be enabled to become noble citizens of the days that are to be.

We thank Thee, Lord, that in our midst are men found worthy by their fellow citizens to represent them in the councils of this community, and to direct the affairs of this town. Bless them in the discharge of their duties.

May we be diligent against evil, intolerant of what is not of Thy good, and holding no part with what has not 20 Hampton Town Report

the sign of the clean hand the pure heart in the affairs and life of the place we live in.

Grant that our trade may prosper and every righteous undertaking have success, that the homes of the people may have light and comfort, that the women and children may have security and joy.

Make us, God, good citizens here in our community, not afraid to answer the call of duty to serve the needs of people, always ready to accept and discharge the duties of high and Christian citizenship.

Watch over our deliberations here this day that our minds may be clear, our emotions controlled, and our decisions in accord to Thy will and for the good of all in our community. Guide us we pray, in Jesus' name. Amen.

March 12, 1957 To the Hampton Town Meeting: The gross budget approved by the Municipal Budget Committee for the ensuing year is $453,628.00. This is $88,262.10 more than the actual 1956 expenditures. How- ever, anticipated income for 1957 is estimated at $169,- 323.00, an increase of $46,726.50 over 1956. The result- ing $284,305.00 to be raised by taxes is $24,077.07 more than the amount raised last year.

The Budget Committee held three Executive Sessions and two Public Hearings in preparing its recommendations for this Town budget. The completed budget has been published in two issues of the Hampton Union, as well as the Hampton Town Report which was distributed on March 2nd.

Articles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 17, 19, 21, 22, 28 and 29 in the Warrant concern an appropriation of money, and these individually have been recommended by the Budget Com- mittee and are included in the gross budget total mentioned above.

If you will kindly turn to page 77 in the Town Report, I shall briefly explain each item in the third column as recommended by the Budget Committee. (At this point such explanation was given.) 22 Hampton Town Report

We would like to express, at this time, our appreciation for the complete cooperation that we have had from the Board of Selectmen, Town Manager and De- partment Heads during the preparation of this budget.

Respectfully submitted, CARL M. LOUGEE, Chairman Municipal Budget Committee

Mr. 0. Raymond Garland said that the Librarian should have an increase in salary, as her work had greatly increased.

Mrs. Margaret Wingate asked for a breakdown on the item of Sewer Maintenance. Mr. Lougee said that there were 6 men in the Department and basic wage increase, plus cost of 4 manholes was included in the above item.

There followed much discussion on the subject of increased salaries for the various departments.

Mr. Raymond Goding moved that the Budget as recommended by the Budget Committee be accepted, with the exception of the Articles in the Warrant. Seconded.

Chief John Malek stated that long hours, dangerous type of work, and damage to uniforms while on duty, were some of the reasons that the Police Officers needed a raise in pay.

Selectman Lawrence Hackett expressed the opinion that definite sums should not be voted as salaries for town employees, but should be left to the discretion of the Selectmen.

Mr. James Tucker Sr. said that he had no objection to salaries being raised, but felt that the proper place for discussion on the subject was at the Budget Committee hearings, prior to the Town Meeting.

Town Counsel John W. Perkins stated that it is not proper procedure to set salaries of men in various de- :

Hampton Town Report 23 partments at Town Meeting. An overall raise is proper, then Selectmen set individual salaries.

26 Hampton Town Report

Mr. William Elliot asked if there were other sug- gestions.

Article 12 was voted as amended.

ARTICLE XIII ZONING

As the Chairman of the Marsh Reclamation Commis- sion, Mr. Alfred Janvrin, was not present, Mr. John True read their report as follows

Report of Marsh Reclamation Commission

I would like to read article 30 as it appeared in last year's Town Warrant.

Article 30 of Town Warrant — March 1956.

On petition of Alfred Janvrin and thirteen other legal voters of the Town of Hampton, to see if the town will vote to establish a Commission of seven members, all citizens of Hampton, to be appointed by the Board of Selectmen and to be known as the Hampton Town Report 27

Marsh Reclamation Commission. It shall be the duty of this Commission to ascertain the pertinent facts bearing on the feasibility of reclaiming all or a portion of the Hampton Marshes as a municipal project and to report its findings and recommendations either at the next regular Town Meeting or at an intervening- Special Town Meeting which may be called for that purpose. And, in connection with this article to see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $500.00 for the use of the Commission making this necessary study.

Committee appointed were: Alfred Janvrin, Chair- man, Alton Tobey, John Perkins, Douglass Hunter, Donald Ring, Howard Page, Norman Royal.

At one of our first committee meetings we decided to look to the Master Plan report for information, in this report we found a section that was devoted to Sub-Marginal Lands. I would like to quote from this report for the benefit of those who have not read it, and it was from this report that we have made our recommendations.

"Sub-Marginal Land"

There are within the town of Hampton some 1600 acres of salt marsh land. The great salt marsh also extends into the neighboring towns of Hampton Falls and Seabrook. All told, there are approximately 4,500 acres of marsh land adjacent to Hampton Beach. The Hampton River and its tributaries drain this entire marsh area. For years, the vast extent of the marshes has challenged the minds of men: various schemes for the use of the marshes have been proposed, but the marshes have remained unchanged for centuries providing, in the main, refuge for thousands of migra- tory birds, and sport in season for hunters. 28 Hampton Town Report

As long as there has been room for building expansion on the great sand bar that forms Hampton Beach, little effort has been made toward developing the marshes. Today, there is a great need for additional space at the beach, and more and more people are look- ing to the marsh land as an area for future expansion. The potential for development which is present in the marshes could well re-shape the entire economic structure of the town. The problems involved are many, and careful planning is essential to the success of any marsh development project. A master plan of marsh reclamation should be prepared that would set forth a long range program for developing Hampton's marsh areas in an orderly and economically justifiable manner. At no time in recent years has there been greater opportunity for the success of such a venture than present at this time. Today, there is a demand for land for seasonal homes, and other properties which will provide a steady market for new lots as quickly as they can be developed by reclamation. More important, perhaps, is the fact that machines and equipment for dredging and filling work are now constructed and available at prices well within the means of a community such as Hampton, to operate. In fact, on the basis of current comparative information on hy- draulic filling done by municipally-owned equipment versus contracting such work, it appears that if a community has 300,000 cubic yards or more of fill to be placed under average conditions, it can buy the necessary equipment and perform the work for the same cost that would be required if the work was privately contracted; at a cost of 30 cents per cubic yard. In three to six months the capital investment would be written off and any additional work performed there- after would cost only five to ten cents per cubic yard. Hampton Town Report 29

Recent dredging and sand placement along the bath- ing beaches cost the state and federal government more than 90 cents per cubic yard. The same dredging facilities were offered to the town before the dredging equipment was removed for 50 cents a cubic yard. With the possible future dredging and placing of one or more million cubic yards of fill, the benefits to be derived from community-owned dredging facilities would be of tremendous value to the Town of Hamp- ton. Such equipment could be used for yearly replacement of sand along the beach, as well as for marsh reclamation.

The future prosperity of Hampton may well depend upon the intelligent use of its sub-marginal lands. How- ever, if marsh reclamation is to prove beneficial to the community as a whole, the Town of Hampton must participate actively and materially in the planning and execution of the work, (end of quote)

It is from the Master plan report and the committee's observation of the Marsh area and meetings we held with the Planning Board, engineers and other interested parties that we recommend the adoption of articles 13 and 19 so that a further study can be made and the area developed in an orderly and economica! manner. Respectfully submitted, F. ALFRED JANVRIN

"I will be glad to answer any questions."

Selectman Donald Ring moved that Article 13 be adopted as read. Seconded. Mr. Norman Royal called attention to an error in the zoning article and moved an amendment to the motion "that article 13 be tabled until correction can be made." Motion defeated. 30 Hampton Town Report

Mr. Ring assured the assembly that although a small bit of description was omitted, that the correction would be made next year. Mr. True showed area on zoning map.

Mr. James Tucker, Sr., moved Article 14 be adopted as read. Seconded. So voted.

Mr. L. Hamilton asked where the drainage was going when it reached Mill Road. Will it go on private land. Mr. True explained that elevations were such that it could go through culverts. Already a brook and a ditch into which it will go.

The Selectmen explained that the location of the Town Dump had been changed to the end of Tide Mill

Road, and the fill was going- to be used as a basis for the proposed new roadway.

ARTICLE XVII ADDITION TO THE LIBRARY

Mr. John Perkins moved the adoption of Article 17 as read. Seconded. Requires % vote as it is a Bond Issue.

Unanimous vote in favor of Article 17.

Mr. James Tucker Sr., presented a Resolution which was adopted. RESOLUTION

Principal of the High School, Bruce Russell said that the present enrollment at the High School is 250 pupils. The graduating class numbers 50 pupils and the number expected in the fall from the Elemen- tary School is 100 — an increase of 50 pupils over this year.

More room is needed and by using the Martel house, which is next to the school, for the Home Economics Dept. the room used at present could be divided into one Home Room, and a Biology Laboratory.

ARTICLE XXXI SEWER RENTALS Mr. Raymond Goding read the following report of the Planning Board and Board of Selectmen:

In Compliance with Article No. 34 as voted in the 1956 Town Meeting of the Town of Hampton, the Board of Selectmen and the Planning Board have made a study of the sewerage system in the Town, both as to its present maintenance and construction, and to possible extensions, maintenance and repair, and present to the Voters of the Town the following information as compiled by this body.

The present treatment plant with a designed capacity of 1,250,000 gallons per day was constructed in 1934 with existing lines at Hampton Beach connected to it, and others added so that sewer facilities are now available to practically all properties between Boars Head and Hampton River. In 1952 a sewer system was installed in the Village area and connected to the treatment plant, and with the recent extensions of the system there are now about 1700 connections into the mains, with the maintenance cost of the present system and treatment plant being approximately $29,000.00 annually. Hampton Town Report 37

In addition to the annual maintenance cost of the present system there is an outstanding debt of Series A bonds issued in 1950 amounting to $158,000. with interest at 1.9%, Series B. bond issued in 1951 amounting to $40,000. with interest at 1.5%. These bonds are being repaid $9,000.00 annually with interest of $3,- 587.00 this year, the interest payments decreasing gradually to the payment date of 1979.

Major repairs to the present system will be needed in the immediate future, consisting of rebuilding ten manholes which are disintegrating and leaking on the main collector line back/ of Hampton Beach, and additional areas of the Town being added to the system will eventually require enlargement of the treatment plant.

Extensions may be gradually made to the system from areas adjacent to the present mains without major expense. This type of extension might be Brown Avenue at the Beach, Anns Lane, Philbrook Terrace, portions of Mill Road and Mace Road, Leavitt Road Morningside Drive and other side street to Winnacunnet Road. The Master Plan sets up a priority of critical areas needing sewerage, and most critical being the North Beach area. The first stage of this construction would necessarily be a pumping station at Winnacun- net Road near Ocean Blvd. to pump up to a point in Winnacunnet Road near Rings Restaurant,, from which point a gravity line could run to the treatment plant. The next stage would be sewers along Kings Highway and side streets to Ocean Blvd. extending up to 18th

Street with a lift station at 10th Street. Other priorities are High Street (east) including portions of Ocean Blvd., North Shore Road, Plaice Cove, Surfside, Locke Road area, and the Exeter Road area. :

38 Hampton Town Report

The estimated cost of these extensions are as follows

Anns Lane, estimated to cost $25,000. with about 30 entrances; Leavitt Road, estimated to cost $45,000. with about 120 entrances; Kings Highway area, estimated to cost $300,00. with about 220 entrances; with other priority areas estimated to cost a total of $500,- 000. per.

It has been ascertained that Federal Aid is only available for paying one-third of the cost, or $250,000. whichever is smaller, for construction of treatment plants. $500,000. per year is allocated to New Hamp- shire and distributed according to priorities determined by the State Water Pollution Commission. There is, before the New Hampshire Legislature, a bill to provide reimbursement of 10% of bond payments on treatment works.

With this information at hand the Board of Select- men and the Planning Board have discussed all possible systems of payment for construction, maintenance and repairs.

The present laws relative to sewers, Section 10-12, Chapter 252, RSA, do not permit rentals except in case of new sewer systems, or. new constructed treatment works.

In the opinion of the Board this does not apply to extensions such as we are faced with in this community. In order to charge sewer rentals in connection with the maintenance of our present system, or extension thereof, special legislation will be necessary. The Board believes that special assessments on a front foot, or other basis, are not feasible in this Town. It is possible that special legislation might be obtained to permit rental charges for the cost of part, or, all, of the maintenance of the present system, and thus allow :

Hampton Town Report 39

tax money to be used for extensions, or a system of rentals might be established to pay for the cost of all, or part, of new construction.

The Board of Selectmen and Planning Board having taken into consideration the aforementioned, offers the following plan to the Voters of the Town of Hampton

"An annual sewer rental charge of approximately $20.00 to be assessed on an equitable basis on all single family entrances to the sewer system, present and future, a proportionate charge to be made on multiple dwelling and commercial building entrances, for maintenance* and operation.

(With 1700 entrances of which 25% are commercial at present, this would represent approximately $42,- 000.00)

The Town should raise and appropriate for new sewer extensions an amount equal to what it has recommended for sewer maintenance. The Anderson-Nichols Company, who have furnished us with our Master Plan, recommend serious consideration be given to paying for extensions by sewer rentals. Since any plan that may be adopted by the Voters of the Town of Hampton will require special legislation, a vote authorizing the Board of Selectmen to seek such legislation is necessary. Respectfully submitted by:

The Board of Selectmen Donald A. Ring, Chairman The Planning Board Ray L. Goding, Chairman

Mrs. Margaret Wingate asked if all abutors are now connected with the Town Sewer System. Reply — all but a few. 40 Hampton Town Report

Mr. W. Cunningham expressed the opinion that only people who enjoy the privilege of being connected with the Town Sewer should bear the cost of maintenance.

Mr. Charles B. Butler said the information given in Article 31 was not sufficient to vote on, and moved that Article 31 be referred to the committee for further information and details. No Second.

Mr. John Perkins (Town Counsel) said that Article 31 will have to be adopted by the town before any- thing can be done, or permission of the Legislature obtained. He moved that the Report of the Committee be accepted, that Article 31 be accepted as read, and that the committee be authorized to continue its work. Seconded. So Voted.

ARTICLE XXXII REPORTS OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES

Mr. James Tucker Sr. gave the Report of the Munic- ipal Building Committee.

ARTICLE XXXIII REPORT OF COMMUNITY CENTER COMMITTEE

Article 33 of the Warrant for the 1956 Town Meet- ing called for the Moderator to appoint a committee of seven citizens to consider the advisability of erecting at some future date by means of voluntary sub- scriptions and taxation, a memorial municipal building with adequate parking space, so located and so designed that it may serve (1) as a Town Hall, (2) a Community Center, and (3) as a convention facility which might be helpful in attracting early and late season business to Hampton Beach. The committee was to report its findings to the next regular Town meeting. The article was adopted. Hampton Town Report 41

As a result, the moderator appointed a committee consisting of Herbert Casassa, Roland Emery, Frank Freeman and James W. Tucker, at the same time extending authority to the committee to add three more members if it were deemed advisable. The committee has already added John Dunfey and Thayer Wade to its membership.

At the first meeting of the committee, the writer was elected chairman and Frank Freeman, secretary. Many pertinent matters, relating to the rapidly growing necessity for such a memorial municipal center, adequate sites for its erection, its component parts, the facilities to be afforded in each part, parking areas, method of financing and future proceedure of the committee, were discussed.

Each committee member was furnished with an out- line, sketch-map of the present municipal and other properties bordering on the east side of Academy Ave- nue and on the adjacent north side of Winnacunnet Road, containing lot dimensions. They also had for discussion, consideration and emendment, a tentative list of the component main sections of a proposed municipal center consisting of a Town Hall, a Police Station, a Fire Station and a Municipal Auditorium. There was alsoj a tentative list of facilities for each section. This list was carefully discussed and evaluated. Twenty-three separate offices and rooms were considered as primarily necessary to properly house all municipal officers, departments, boards, committee and records. For a Police Station attention was given to the need of adequate office space for police officials, magistrates, attorneys and for a commodious court room with the possibility of a small cell block.

The need of a proper apparatus room, equipment room, custodian and storage space, offices, recreation 42 Hampton Town Report room, dormitory, kitchen, toilet and bath facilities were considered with reference to a central fire station. Much thought was also given to the importance of a large, thoroughly equipped municipal auditorium and complete stage facilities, with smailler halls, game rooms, kitchen and other facilities which would serve as a complete recreational center for adults as well as youth, at the same time caring for possible convention needs. As to the question of who or what should be memor- ialized in such a! civic center, it seemed to be the con- census of opinion that men and women of Hampton who served in all of the nation's wars, beginning with the Revolution, should be honored primarily, with the proper provision for rendering homage to the founders of historic Hampton and its nationally famous Beach.

Concerning procedure, it is quite obvious that the committee should have ample opportunity for necessary conferences with the selectmen, the town manager, and the town counsel, with the heads of various municipal department to be housed' in the proposed center, with the planning board and with other agencies, before submitting any detailed or comprehensive plans for the consideration of the citizens. Because the need for the several main component parts of the proposed municipal center i.e., Town Hall, Police Station, Fire Station and Auditorium varies in degree of urgency, thought was given by the committee to an initial overall plan of the entire Civic Center which might then be followed by the building of the component parts, over a term of years, and in order of their absolute necessity. Much thought was also given to the town's present financial circumstances and to the various methods which might in the future be adopted to finance such a costly project without imposing too great a burden on property tax payers. —

Hampton Town Report 43

However, the immediate necessity—apparently fully recognized by this and other adjacent communities for a new High School building, would make necessary the deferrment for at least one year of even long-range plans for the development of a memorial municipal center, designed to serve the needs enumerated in the governing Article.

For these reasons the committee respectfully requests that the foregoing be accepted merely as a report of initial progress and requests furthermore that it be continued for another year, at the conclusion of which time, a more detailed, comprehensive and factual report will be submitted for the consideration of the voters.

J. W. Tucker, Chairman for the Committee Hampton, New Hampshire March 12, 1957

REPORT OF LIBRARIAN

I hereby submit the following report of Hampton

Public Library from January 1, 1957 to December 31, 1957.

Number of volumes added by purchase 435 Adult Fiction 273 Adult Non-Fiction 100 Juveniles 69

Circulation Adult Fiction 6,136 Adult Non-Fiction 2,226 Juvenile Fiction 2,483 Juvenile Non-Fiction 631

Book Circulation 11,476

Magazine Circulation 1,583

Book and Magazine Circulation 13,059

Due to the building of the addition and the renova- tion of the old building, the Library was closed for four months with the exception of a few days in Novem- ber and December. Therefore the figures represent practically only eight months of the year. Had the Library been open, the circulation would undoubtedly have exceeded that of the previous year, as there were many new patrons.

On Friday, October 15, a neighborhood meeting was held at the Hampton Falls Public Library, which Mrs. Charles Palmer, Trustee, and I attended. The speaker Hampton Town Report 129 was Miss Stroud of the N. H. State Library and there was a display of adult and juvenile, books, many of which were already on our shelves.

We trust that the hardships endured by the necessary closing of the Library will be compensated for by the advantages offered in the enlarged facilities.

RECREATION COMMITTEE REPORT OF 1957

Hampton's recreation program completed a second successful year with more than 300 youngsters and many adults taking advantage of the organized recreational opportunities afforded.

As in the first year of operation primary consideration was given to a summer program, again directed by Mr. Robert Carroll, an experienced recreation director. Mrs. Kenneth Russell, of Hampton, was appointed as assistant supervisor, and her work with the girls and younger boys added greatly to the success of the program.

Summer activities, which ran from June 23rd to August 23rd, were again divided into two daily sessions, 9:00 to 12:00, and 5:30 until dusk. The morning sessions had a total registration of 216 boys and girls, and an average daily attendance of 65. Although the evening sessions were not as well attended as those of the previous year, adult and youth activity was observed each evening.

The addition of Mrs. Russell to the staff made it possible to have two or more supervised groups active at all times during the morning sessions. Girls and younger boys under her direction totalled nearly forty active members, and averaged 20 in daily attendance. Recreation for these youngsters included a very popular arts and crafts period, badminton, volleyball, softball, and kickball.

Organized baseball, track and field events, Mr. Car- roll supervising, were provided daily for the older boys, ages eight through fourteen. Two baseball leagues were formed, a four team junior organization, which includ- 132 Hampton Town Report ed 60 boys, and a two team senior league. The junior teams competed in a 48 game intra-league schedule, while the seniors played or practiced twice weekly, and also met teams from other towns.

Other activities for boys included football, kickball, volleyball, croquet, horse shoes, badminton, and bike racing. During the summer season father-son and family nights were held.

The scope of Hampton's recreational activities was widened this year to include provisions for some limited fall and winter play. For youngsters this consisted of an opportunity for skating, and for adults an exper- imental series of square dances was scheduled.

As no natural ice was available in Hampton, transportation to the Exeter Academy rink was provided on late fall Saturdays and several times during the Christ- mas vacation. Groups of 50 to more than 90 young people from the fourth through eighth grades took advantage of this added recreational facility.

The committee is asking for $1,830.00 for the coming season. Necessary purchases of equipment is the reason for this anticipated increase in expenses. For the past two years the program has been run using borrowed equipment of a re-usable nature. These items, masks, protective devises, non-expendable balls, nets, etc., should be program owned. Greater participation and the addition of a program for girls and younger boys also have created the expectation of increased purchases of expendable items.

Hampton Town Report 179

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

To the School Committee and Citizens of the Hampton School District

It is a pleasure to submit my second annual report as Superintendent of Schools. The past year has been an active one; the rapid growth of this Seacoast region has compelled us all to extraordinary efforts to meet the needs of our growing school population. Further- more, we have tried not only to provide for the minimum necessities, but also to make improvements in the quality of our staff and in our educational programs.

The Seacoast area presently exhibits one predomi- nent characteristic — growth. It has grown in population and in wealth. Present indications are that this trend will continue. Concomitant with growth in communities one expects to find increased needs for public services and, inevitably, increasing costs for such services.

The School Districts of this Supervisory Union have, in the main, been forced to construct new schools to house their growing enrollments. For the moment, we are over the hump as regards this problem. We can be proud of our excellent new buildings which represent distinct improvements in community investment. Un- less present trends towards growth are reversed, however, we shall have only a brief breathing space. With- in two to three years additional facilities will again be needed in many of the districts.

Federal Aid for school construction under Public Law 815 has been of material assistance to most of our districts. Federal Aid for the operation of schools under 180 Hampton Town Report

Public Law 874 is also a major factor in defraying costs and in holding down the amounts of money to be raised by local taxation. In the Union as a whole our estimated income from Public Law 874 amounts approximately to $100,000.00 for the coming school year.

There was a serious effort made in the last session of Congress to eliminate both of these Bills. Should a similar effort succeed during the present session, we would suffer a major blow in nearly every school district. We have estimated full receipts under the existing statute but this expires June 30, 1958. If by March we know that this legislation has been extended it will be necessary to ask for an appropriation larger than that now presented in our budget. It behooves every citizen to make known to our representatives in the Congress that we need to have maintained the system of payment by the Federal Government for pupils coming into our community as a direct result of Feder- al activities.

The New Hampshire Legislature in the last session enacted legislation which helps in meeting the cost of debt service. Single school districts formerly received state funds to the amount of 20% of the principal of debt incurred for capital investments. The state's share has now been increased to 30% for such districts and to 50% for those districts which join to form twelve- year cooperative school districts. State Aid for the operation of schools was also increased but only two of the Districts in this Union have valuations low enough to qualify for this form of assistance.

To staff our schools for the year beginning in Sep- tember 1957 it was necessary to engage 52 new teachers, a larger number than any Supervisory Union in the state, including the cities, had to hire. To start with, we needed 20 additional teachers; next, we found it Hampton Town Report 181 necessary to discontinue the services of 10 faculty- members, the balance represented turnover because of personal circumstances. 10 of these teachers were lost because we could not offer adequate salaries; they accepted other positions at an average increase of approximately $600.00.

We began the school year in September 1956 with an instructional staff of 101 full-time persons. In Sep- tember 1957 this had risen to 119. In September 1958 we will need at least 139 faculty members. Except for a few of our New Hampshire cities this will make our Union the largest educational organization in the state.

The following tabulation shows some interesting re- lationship :

ANTICIPATED FOR 1958 — 1959

Union No. 21 8 139 3,000 11 The growth of our Union has created a growing problem in handling the administrative and supervisory duties of the Superintendency. Despite our overall growth in school personnel the Superintendent's staff has been increased only by the addition of a half- time clerk. The following tabulation shows the staff that has been provided

Year Supt. Help Teach. E:sec. Asst. Sec. 1954 -- 1955 1 1 1 1 1955 -- 1956 1 1 1 1V2 1956 -- 1957 1 1 1 Vk 1957 -- 1958 1 1 1 2

The provision of three full-time persons on the secretarial and clerical staff has solved our problems at that level. The Helping Teacher and the Superin- tendent, however, cannot reasonably meet the needs in supervision and in administration under the present load. With the addition of the Cooperative secondary Hampton Town Report 183

School District to the Union there are now eight school committees with twenty-six members.

The Supervisory Union School Committee is cogni- zant of the problem and is studying ways of alleviating it. Either the provision of an assistant superintendent or reorganization of the Union administrative structure is needed. No solution has been found at this time which will permit any change in conditions for the coming year beginning July 1, 1958.

We shall again need to hire a large number of teachers. There will be at least 18 additional teachers needed. Some turnover is inevitable. Conservatively estimated, our minimum needs will fall between 30 and 40 new teachers. In order to attract suitable teachers we must offer salaries as good or better than those which will be offered in northern New England.

Last year our minimum salaries of $3000.00 in all of our districts but Seabrook and Rye made it nearly impossible to hire beginning teachers. We could hire none from Plymouth Teacher's College because the students flatly refused to consider any salary below $3200.00. In some of our districts we had an advantage in hiring experienced teachers because our salary schedules offered a greater range than that found in some other New Hampshire communities.

This year is a critical one with regard to salaries. The School Committees have recognized this by raising minimum salaries. The new minimums range from $3,200.00 to $3,400.00 in the elementary districts. In raising a minimum it is only equitable to increase the salaries of older teachers by the amount of increase. This is not only equitable but is a matter of necessity this year because other communities in New Hampshire are doing so. We would lose our advantage in hiring 184 Hampton Town Report experienced teachers if we did not give our teachers now on the staff the benefit of the increase in the minimum.

It must be recognized that a $3400.00 minimum will, at best, put us on a basis equal to, but not ahead of many New Hampshire communities and those in bordering states with which we have to compete for teachers. Minimums of |3400.00 will be common, some are already set at $3500.00 and $3600.00. An explanation of this problem should help you as voters of the Dis- trict to realize the reasons which compelled your School Committee to ask for larger budgets in order to raise salaries.

The situation with regard to teacher's salaries will not change in succeeding years. The problem is one of simple economics. Teaching, which has always been an under paid profession, does not look attractive to young men and women when they know of earnings in other occupations. No adequate plans for forestalling the obvious shortage of teachers were undertaken at state and national levels following World War II. As our school populations have grown teachers have remained in short supply. Salaries, therefore, have risen and will continue to rise until the supply of teachers is markedly increased.

Many statistics are published to prove the relatively low earning power of teachers. One statistic is enough to cite, as far as I am concerned. The state wage rate for building laborers, who need no education or experience, is $2.50 per hour at present, or $100.00 per week without overtime. Much is often made of the fact that the teacher's work year is only 10 months. This is not a significant argument; those teachers who are able and willing to work in the summer can earn, on the average, only $500.00 to $600.00 for the season. Hampton Town Report 185

To do so, in many instances, they must work at jobs which contribute nothing to their improvements as teachers.

I have devoted space to the foregoing considerations because of their critical importance at the present time. These matters are of common interest to the citizens of all of the School Districts of the Union. They apply with equal force in every District. The efficient func- tioning of our schools and the effective conduct of education in our classrooms is the matter at issue.

Before turning to matters concerning individual districts there is one educational program which again concerns all. This is the class for intellectually retarded pupils established last fall at the North Hampton Elementary School. We were fortunate in securing the services of an experienced teacher. The class has proved to be successful not only in our opinion, but in that of many impartial observers who have visited the class. We are indebted to the State Committee on Social Education and to the Trustees of the Spaulding Fund for technical advice and financial assistance in the preliminary work done during the past year which enabled us to make a sound selection of pupils.

As was indicated in my report last year there is a clear need for two such classes in our Union. With a second class in operation, it seems probable that we can provide for pupils who have special instruction without adding a third class for some time. North Hampton can furnish a classroom for another year; Hampton can provide the second classroom in what was its High School building. At the annual budget meeting in De- cember 1957 the Union School Committee voted to recommend to all Districts that sufficient funds be included in their budgets to provide for two classes. 186 Hampton Town Report

Instruction in the Hampton Schools has been maintained at a high plane. There were many changes in the faculty and several additional teachers had to be hired to meet swelling enrollments. We were able to engage a number of experienced teachers as replacements and to secure beginning teachers of high quality. The strength of the teaching staff has been greatly increased during the current year.

Our industrial arts program has shown a marked improvement this year. Mr. Eugene Ross, the new instructor, has reorganized both materials and methods so as to improve the quality of instruction.

The addition of another Physical Education teacher at the high school level has permitted a more adequate program of Physical Education in all grades. Mr. Robert Dodge, an experienced instructor, has done an excellent job with the high school boys. Mr. John Peterson, in addition to organizing the work done by all three physical education teachers, has been able this year to give time and attention to broadening and intensifying the program in the elementary grades. Mrs. Blatchford has been able to give more time to those pupils she instructs.

Among the advantages Hampton will receive from the establishment of the new Cooperative High School Dis- trict will be more adequate services in music, art, physical education and nursing. Our schools have been growing so fast that for the past three years there has been a gradual alternation of services in these fields. Were the high school to have remained in this school district it would have been necessary in the coming year to plan for additional personnel to meet instructional needs in these fields. The situation had become impossible to handle in physical education even this year. Diminish- ing returns would have set in shortly in Music and Art. The School Nurse is now overextended. The advent of ;

Hampton Town Report 187 the Cooperative will permit our personnel presently employed to conduct a thorough and satisfactory program next year in our eight grades.

The availability of the High School building for grades seven and eight next September will allow us barely enough classrooms for our eight grades. Considering only those pupils now enrolled 179 seventh and eighth grade children will move into the Hampton Academy building. Within three years we shall have over 225 pupils in that building which was originally designed to accommodate approximately that number. If present growth trends continue the District must plan to add a wing to this building within four or five years. An addition to the Marston School will also be needed.

The movement of large grade enrollments from the lower to upper grades will require the addition of eight teachers next year. With this number of teachers we can still plan to hold class sizes only within a 25-30 pupil range. If a large influx of additional pupils occurs, as is indicated by new registrations since Christmas, we will do well to keep under 30 per class.

The School Committee, being aware of the additional cost to be borne by Hampton taxpayers for the construction and operation of the Cooperative High School, has not asked for funds which will allow for a large addition to the student body. Should this occur it might even be necessary to ask for a special appropriation, although every effort will be made to operate with the budget that is to be submitted to the District.

Increased cafeteria services will obviously be needed. The High School pupils have not used cafeteria services only 20-25 pupils eat lunches prepared in the schools. The 170 seventh and eighth grade pupils, however, have been accustomed to using cafeteria service; it is estimated that 125, at least, will eat every day. Space, equipment 188 Hampton Town Report and personnel must be provided to feed these pupils in the high school building. A plan to do this on as econom- ical a basis as possible has been developed and necessary funds are included in the budget. Food will be prepared at the Centre School but a serving kitchen must be provided in the high school building.

Reorganization of many features of the school programs, custodial services, and clerical services will be possible when the seventh and eighth grades are in their new quarters. The departmentalized instructional program can be improved because these pupils will be more conveniently grouped than they could be next year at the Centre School. The use of the auditorium will allow extended activities in physical education, music, dra- matic and assembly programs.

The central office for the schools will be in this building. Mr. Thayer Wade, the Principal who has been on partial leave this year so that he could pursue a doctoral program at Harvard, will be able to supervise all three schools most effectively. The telephone system will be changed so that calls will go through the central office for all schools. This will eliminate the present unsatis- factory condition which requires Mrs. Stevens, the Assistant Principal of the Marston School, to leave her class to answer calls.

Clerical services have been, up to now, adequately provided for the High School but inadequately provided in the elementary schools. The one clerk at the Centre School cannot assist in work needed at the Marston School as much as is desirable. The School Nurse has had far too much clerical work to do in her own program. Beginning next year it is planned to have two clerical workers in the central office. The flow of work for all three buildings can be handled smoothly with this ar- rangement, and, when necessary one clerk can go into the other two schools to help the Assistant Principals. Hampton Town Report 189

It is planned to employ four custodians rather than five. The reduction in night work required at the high school and the increased administrative efficiency possible under one principal working from a central office will permit effective use of a smaller group of janitors. The purchase of a suitable lawn mower will also help to save janitorial time.

Many improvements to grounds and building have been made. The completion of the landscaping at the Marston School has given the District one of New Hampshire's most attractive school buildings. The generosity of the Hampton Academy Trustees in donat- ing almost $2,500.00 to the cost of grading and seeding the large area near the high school building has given us a fine field for use by the junior high school pupils. The field behind the Centre School has also been regraded and reseeded. The School Committee has made many interior improvements and repairs in the two older buildings, some of which have long been neglected.

The Trustees of Hampton Academy should be given recognition for the many valuable contributions they have made in the form of improvements to the Academy building and in gifts of equipment. Besides the construction of the new field already mentioned, they paid for major alterations to the locker rooms of the school a few years ago. They have annually paid for replacement of typewriters and other equipment in the Commercial Department; they have provided equipment for the Home Economics and Shop programs for many years; they have paid for encyclopedias and other reference books. In the current year alone they have contributed well over $1,000.00 for the purchase of equipment. Ac- curate records of the items they have contributed to the school over a period of years have not been kept ; the value of their contributions amounts to many thousands of dollars. It is proper to say that the high school pro- 190 Hampton Town Report gram in Hampton could not have been kept at a satisfactory level without their contributions unless much more money had been appropriated by the tax-payers. An improvement in teachers' salaries has been provided for in the school budget. The School Committee made exhaustive investigation of the need for increasing the minimum salary. A minimum of $3,400.00 has been established which although it represents $400.00 increase in the Hampton minimum puts us only on a par with other school districts with which we have to compete for teachers. In fact, it leaves us behind some nearby districts such as Portsmouth which has set a new minimum of $3,500.00 and Amesbury, Massachu- setts with a new minimum of $3,800.00. Exeter will offer $3,600.00 to married men and $3,400.00 to other be- ginners. The School Committee recognized that if we are to hold our teachers the benefit of the increase in the minimum must also be given to those now on the staff. Because of the competition we must meet in securing teachers from the limited supply available this is a critical year for Hampton with respect to salaries. To fail to adopt the recommended schedule could well cause us to begin sliding downward toward a second-class school system.

I have been fortunate during the year to have intelligent assistance and loyal support from many of my colleagues and fellow-workers. My obligations to teachers and other staff members are too numerous to list them here. For their help I am deeply appreciative.

May I also express my appreciation to the members of the School Committee and to other citizens of the District for their understanding of school problems and their readiness to work on behalf of our school children.

HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

January 2, 1958

To Dr. Edward C. Manning Superintendent of Schools:

I herewith submit my annual report as Principal of Hampton Academy and High School. This will be the last report submitted under the present administration and marks the end of an era in secondary education in Hampton.

I believe Hampton Academy and High School has served the community well. It has met the educational needs of the youth in this area in an edequate manner. Our graduates have gone out to take positions or have continued their education in many post-secondary insti- tutions.

Last year we graduated a class of fifty-two. Eleven entered four year colleges, two junior colleges, two nursing schools and two are in the armed services. Of the remainder twelve are employed and three are married.

In a recent study made of the last five years graduates, we found that over fifty per cent of those taking college preparatory courses entered colleges. Also that over fifty per cent of the total class went on to continue their education in many post-secondary schools. While our state colleges get the bulk of those that go on we found thirteen colleges outside New Hampshire that had received at least one student.

Many of our graduates find employment in the area we serve. We are seldom able to fill all the positions that exist especially in the spring of the year. 192 Hampton Town Report

I cite these things as evidence that we are preparing the youth of the community to take their place as citizens. The boys of course have to fulfill their service obligation, but in most instances they return to this general area.

The plans and alterations we made in preparation for the increased enrollment this year have worked out well. We have had close to 290 pupils most of the time, which represents an increase for about forty. The entering class numbered 107 which is the largest so far.

The Home making class now meets in a separate building. The teacher and girls have adapted themselves well to the temporary situation. The room they left has been converted into a home room and biology laboratory and thus increased the total capacity. Classes meet in the library, the teachers room and on the stage. Our new guidance department functions in the visiting team's room. All these things are accepted without com- plaint and a wholesome situation has resulted.

Again we wish to thank the many organizations and friends that have done things to help the school. The trustees, the service clubs, the P. T. A., the alumni association, church organizations, several town departments and many individuals. Their generous acts have increased the activities that we have been able to have.

I want to express my appreciation to you, your staff and the school board for the constant cooperative spirit in which our work is carried on.

Hampton Town Report 193 REPORT OF ELEMENTARY AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

To: Dr. Edward C. Manning, Superintendent of Schools

I herewith submit my annual report for the Hampton Elementary Schools and the Junior High School.

Many changes have taken place this year that have resulted in broader educational opportunity for all the pupils.

The first instance was moving eleven grades to the new Marston School at the end of January 1957. This was accomplished in one day with the help of the school staff and the Hampton P.T.A. The overcrowded conditions we had experienced were alleviated and a better instructional program resulted.

Two libraries were organized, one at each school, to assist the pupils in reading enrichment as well as increased reference facilities. The material available at these libraries is at a minimum amount, and should be increased annually.

Because of the extremely heavy pupil teacher ratio in grade 1, it was necessary to employ an additional teacher for the rest of the year.

The instructional phase of the program that had pre- viously been cramped by overcrowding was again increased for its full value. Physical education proceeded at a desirable rate, climaxed by a Junior High interscholastic track meet in the spring. A better Art program, using space assigned specifically for Art, resulted in better offerings in pottery, enameling and other skill areas. The Music program improved and both elementary 194 Hampton Town Report schools put on a program for the public in the late spring. Everyone is pleased with the school band and with the progress they have made.

We have been proud of our athletics in the Junior High. In both basketball, baseball and softball our teams have either been champions or finished high in the league. This fall touch football was organized under the direction of Mr. Peterson and a great amount of interest was generated. The team finished first in the league.

Many repairs, consisting of painting and remodeling, have been made at the Centre School. This has improved the building and helped to keep it up to date. It will be necessary however, to plan on painting about the equiva- lent of four rooms each year to keep the building in good condition.

Lawns and shrubbery were completed at the Marston School this fall.

The Junior High program was reorganized to an extent this year to eliminate some weaknesses we pre- viously had. This has proven successful. However, I feel that when the Junior High moves to the present High School building, more revision should take place. Work in this area is already under way and plans are being formulated for the time when the building is available.

A Junior High program of studies was developed during the spring and summer. This was printed and made available to the pupils and parents of the Junior High to help them develop a better understanding of what we were endeavoring to accomplish.

The enrollment in September 1956 was 774. Continuing the extraordinary increase in pupil attendance, this Sep- tember's figure rose to 870. It should be noted that be- :;

Hampton Town Report 195 cause of transfer or similar reasons, we lost a large number of pupils during the summer. If this had not hap- pened, our enrollment would have been well over 900. Because of the increase, it was necessary to hire seven additional teachers for the year 1957-1958. The distribution of these is as follows: Kindergarten, grades 1 through 5, one additional teacher each; Junior High 1, or a total of seven. In addition to this, it was necessary to have a physical education instructor to assist at the Junior High. This was worked out in conjunction with the High School.

Altogether, eighteen new teachers became members of our staff this year. They were assigned as follows: Kindergarten, Mrs. Gallagher, Miss Christensen, Miss

Montrone; Grade 1, Mrs. Ross, Mrs. Rockey; Grade 2, Miss Cyr, Mrs. Carpenter; Grade 3, Miss Ludgate, Miss

Cougle; Grade 4, Miss Somerby, Mrs. Barrett; Grade 5,

Mrs. Cheadle, Miss Whitcomb ; Junior High, Mrs. Bow- man, Miss Griffin and Mr. Preston. Mrs. Beilman was hired for Art and Mr. Dodge for Junior High Physical Education.

The teacher assignments for each school is as follows Centre School: Kindergarten, Miss Christensen, Mrs.

Gallagher, Miss Montrone, Miss Snow; Grade 1, Miss

Bean, Mrs. Rockey ; Grade 2, Miss Cyr, Mrs. Carpenter

Grade 3, Miss Ludgate, Miss Cougle ; Grade 4, Mrs. Bar- rett, Mrs. Cusick ; Grade 5, Mrs. Lloyd, Miss Whitcomb Grade 6, Mrs. Marcotte.

Junior High School : Mrs. Bowman, Mr. Eastman, Miss Griffin, Mr. McClain and Mr. Preston.

Marston School: Grade 1, Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Ross;

Grade 2, Mrs. McClain, Miss Millett ; Grade 3, Mrs. Cum- mings, Mrs. Fernald ; Grade 4, Mrs. Crane, Miss Somer- by; Grade 5, Mr. Barr, Mrs. Cheadle; Grade 6, Mrs. Stevens, Miss Williams. 196 Hampton Town Report

The special teachers were assigned as follows: Art,

Mrs. Beilman ; Music, Mrs. Coombs, Mr. Coombs ; Physi- cal Education, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Dodge, Mrs. Blatch- ford ; Remedial Reading, Miss Thomas.

Other members of the staff include Secretary, Mrs.

Peterson ; Nurse, Mrs. McRae ; Custodians, Mr. Barnaby,

Mr. Brown, Mr. Fogg, Mr. Drysdale ; Cooks, Mrs. Moore, head cook, Mrs. Osgood, Mrs. Leach.

As you have probably noted, there are four teachers for each grade in the elementary schools with the exception of Grade 6 in which there are three. Because several of the grades are presently overcrowded, and an increase can justifiably be expected next fall although not quite as great as this year, it will be necessary to plan for four additional teachers, one each in Grades 1, 2, and 3 and one for Grade 6.

The Junior High assignments will have to be com- pletely reorganized. In addition to the five teachers presently assigned, it will be necessary to add two additional home room teachers and a Home Economics and Shop teacher, or a total of four new positions. The reason for this is twofold. First, the enrollment requires another split of classes in both 7th and 8th grade, and secondly, we cannot depend on the High School to supply us with Shop and Home Economics instruction.

When these additional teachers start in September 1958, all available space will be used at all three schools. This is something to contemplate for future reference.

I was fortunate to have been chosen to attend Har- vard this year for my Doctor's degree in Administration. I would like to express my gratitude to you and the School Board for granting me a partial leave of absence, especially the Assistant Principals, Mrs. Stevens and Hampton Town Report 197

Miss Whitcomb, and my secretary, Mrs. Peterson, for the faithful service and cooperation they have given me under these circumstances.

Hampton has been in the past and will continue to be proud of their educational program, We are constantly surveying, reorganizing, studying and seeking changes to improve the total education each pupil will receive.

I have continued to receive pleasure and satisfaction from serving this community. I shall strive to make my services felt in all aspects of the child's school life in the future.

Respectfully submitted,

THAYER D. WADE, Principal. 198 Hampton Town Report

REPORT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION DIRECTOR

To Dr. Edward C. Manning, Superintendent of Schools:

In grades one through six we have attempted to present a program that is varied and suitable for all children. In addition to the usual activities, there has been more emphasis on self-testing activities such as tumbling and learning how to jump for height and distance in the primary grades. Progression has been used in rope skipping and practically all of the children have learned the rhythm of rope skipping.

A Track and Field Day was held last spring with Hampton Junior High host to North Hampton Junior High.

The project of developing two teacher stations in the Centre School activities room has been completed and put to use. In conjunction with this project, four additional basketball goals were built and installed, and a hazard was removed in screening the lower half of the windows.

In the Junior High School, the program consists of team games such as soccer, touch football, softball and basketball. Tumbling, stunts and relays are also included in the program. Calisthenics and self-testing activities are given throughout the year.

Due to the lack of grassed play area at the High School, out of door team games have been substituted to a great extent with modified team games, self-testing activities such as calisthenics, rope climbing and per- forming on the horizontal bars. Relays, marching tac- tics, combatives such as wrestling, crab soccer, and tumbling make up the program in the gymnasium during the winter months. :

Hampton Town Report 199

A Health and Safety course has been started for the freshmen in addition to their two weekly physical education classes.

I would like to recommend the following improvements for future consideration The outdoor basketball courts at the present High School can, with slight additions, be used to teach tennis and other net games.

The locker room should be painted and a sturdy plastic curtain placed on the shower entrance so that all shower heads may be used.

Because of the varied use of the present High School Gym by school and community, the present bleachers should be replaced with three rows of folding bleachers on each side. This would increase the present seating capacity when used as an auditorium and these folding bleachers would be quite enough for school assemblies and would not necessitate the use of folding chairs. If room under the present stage could be found for one half of the present chairs, a severe storage problem would be solved.

ATHLETICS The 1956-57 basketball squad entered state tournament play with a record of 11 won and 7 lost. The spring sports season resulted in the baseball team posting a 6 and 8 season. The track squad engaged in 8 meets placing third in the league meet and eighth in the state meet. The football team was inexperienced and, with a change in coaching personnel, finished the season having

won 1, lost 5 and tied 1. The majority of the squad returns next year. The first formal cross country team engaged in 6 meets, winning 2. A freshman placed fourth in the state meet. The present basketball team is un- defeated as this report is being written. : :

REPORT OF GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

To Dr. Edward C. Manning, Superintendent of Schools

The Girls' Physical Education Program at the High School this year has had an addition to the curriculum. A course in Health is being taught to all the Freshmen this year. At present the class meets every other week, but in the future the class will be scheduled more often.

Last spring the High School girls played an eight game schedule in Interscholastic Softball. The Junior High girls under the direction of Mrs. Lloyd played a six game schedule.

This fall the High School activities consisted of calisthenics, marching drills, volleyball, and indoor softball. The girls played a four game interscholastic schedule of Field Hockey winning 2 games and losing 2 games.

This winter semester the High School basketball team will play eleven games on the schedule. The classes are working on basketball drills and skills. On December 14 the Buccanettes attended a Rules Interpretation Clinic at Portsmouth and were asked to demonstrate various situations of the games.

This Spring the program will be classes in stunts and tumbling, badminton, indoor softball and volleyball. A volleyball tournament will be held at the middle of the Spring semester.

REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR

To Dr. Edward C. Manning, Superintendent of Schools:

Following is a report of activities in school music during 1957:

An outstandingly cooperative and capable teaching force in the elementary grades gave our pupils an excellent foundation in music study for the school year ending in June 1957. The accomplishment of the pupils was very gratifying.

Beginning in September, it was necessary to limit visits to the elementary classes to once in two weeks. After four months of this program, I feel it is unsatis- factory. None of the regular activities have been omitted, but all have necessarily been limited.

High School classes are held once a week, and since there are five groups, I am at the High School one period a day. Last spring Dennis Dionne, Roger Hammond and George Sumner attended both State and New England Festivals at Durham, New Hampshire and Plainville, Connecticut, respectively.

The High School Choir had an active year singing, as usual, for local groups. The Choir was made up of a group of capable singers with good voices. Their loss has caused us to stagger, but we are gradually regain- ing our footing.

The instrumental program under Mr. Rolvin Coombs has been making strides forward. The Junior Band presented two concerts — one for the P.T.A., and one at the High School Auditorium, in which the Senior Band also played. The Junior Band also played for the eighth grade graduation and on the band stand at the beach Hampton Town Report 203 during May. This program was televised. They also auditioned at the State Auditions Festival at Rochester. Chaperoned by a group of parents, 56 pupils from grades 2 through 8 made a fine showing. Comments by the judges were all exceedingly complimentary. Both Bands marched and played Memorial Day.

At a Christmas program given by several of the elementary classes, an orchestra of young players performed in excellent manner. Groups of pupils have played Christmas carols in the town square.

The Senior Band is being replenished by pupils of outstanding ability in the upper grades.

A Music Boosters Club has been formed by some of the parents of instrumental students. At present this Club is planning ways and means of outfitting the Junior Band with uniforms. Their work and interest is certainly appreciated.

Funds from the Christmas program will go to the purchase and moving of a piano to be used in one of the Kindergarten rooms.

I wish to thank you, Dr. Manning, and our Board of Education for the support and cooperation given Mr. Coombs and me in our work.

Supervisor of Music. 204 Hampton Town Report

REPORT OF ART SUPERVISOR

To Dr. Edward C. Manning, Superintendent of Schools:

The Art Education Program in the schools of Hamp- ton shows a continuous growth and development.

The philosophy of the art program has changed from one of art for the talented few, to an art for all individuals at all levels. The endeavor is one of a creative approach to freedom for self-expression.

The feeling for the value of the experience beyond the result has brought about an understanding of the unique- ness of the individual and challenges the development of intellect, esthetic and moral values. An objective sense of the world is gained through his own creative activities.

By means of audio-visual facilities we are planning to broaden our art program as well as by the exchange of pupils' are work with other schools and extra curricular art exhibits.

During Art Week in the month of November of this year we held exhibits of the pupils' art work in the Centre, Marston and High Schools, grades six through twelve. During the spring, art work of the pupils in the lower grades will be exhibited.

We are in need of more room as well as storage space. The limited space finds us unable to have a full craft program. It is expected that the establishment of the new Regional High School will result in giving us this advantage.

An attempt is being made to meet the present and ever-changing need of our school population, the primary Hampton Town Report 205

concern remaining the same — an effort to provide educational experiences that will result in meeting the art needs of the individual helping him to grow and develop his intellectual self.

The co-operation of the teachers and the administrative staff has been greatly appreciated, and helped to make the art program a success.

EDWINA N. BEILMAN, Art Supervisor. : :

206 Hampton Town Report REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE

To Dr. Edward C. Manning, Superintendent of Schools:

The following is a report of the School Health Pro- gram of the Hampton Schools for the year 1957

Four hundred sixty-six home contacts have been made by the nurse, usually for the purpose of reporting and assisting in the correction of remedial defects which were found in the screening procedures. To assure a working "follow up" program, records are carried on from year to year, and this explains the fact that more vision defects were corrected than appeared from the records to have been found. These were corrections of vision defects found last year.

This year vision tests were given to 528 children. Fifty-eight children showed evidence of defective vision. Sixty-seven corrections were made. The Lions Club con- tinues to give financial assistance whenever necessary.

Hearing checks were given to 195 children. Three children failed to pass the test and are being treated by physicians.

Four hundred ninety-seven children were examined by the nurse and the following conditions were found

Condition Correction Teeth 46 39 Loss of weight 2 2 Scalp 2 2 Skin 3 2 Speech 15 1 :

Hampton Town Report 207

The school physicians examined 241 children plus all sports participants and the following conditions were reported Condition Correction Enlarged Tonsils 9 5 Heart 24 18 Wax in Ear Canal 3 1

A pre-school clinic was held in May at the Centre School and sixty-three children were examined by the nurse.

Seven children have been excused from vaccination on recommendation of their family physicians for medi- cal reasons.

Two polio clinics were held in the schools and 536 children were given injections of Salk vaccine.

The following cases of contagious diseases were reported among the school children: Mumps 25 German Measles 10 Scarlet Fever 8 Chicken Pox 91 Measles 2 Impetigo 6 Pediculosis 6

Twenty-four children were taken to a doctor and two were taken to the hospital. Thirty-eight children who became ill in school were taken home. Eight hundred eighty-five children were given first aid.

Parents will be notified immediately if a child is ill or injured at school. Parents will be expected if possible, and whenever necessary, to come to the school and take their child home. 208 Hampton Town Report

The testing and examining procedures will continue as usual and parents will be notified if any condition is found by the school physician, Dr. Gauron, or the school nurse, which indicates that a child should be seen by his family physician.

We are fortunate in Hampton to have several service clubs which give financial help in the correction of remedial defects. Please notify the school nurse if help is desired.
