SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT OF THE WATER AND SEWER DEPARTMENT

To the AVater and Sewer Commissioners and Citizens of Hinsdale

I herewith submit the following report:

If we plan to make future extensions I would like to recommend a new stand pipe also another filter unit at the filtering plant. This would give me a chance to repair present 41 standpipe, also give more storage for extention pipe lines and eliminate Sunday filtering. We have 373 users at present. I have attended some of the N. H. and New England Water Works meetings. In closing this report I wish to thank the commissioners and selectmen for their cooperation during the past year. Res-pectfully submitted, CHARLES W. HARRIS, Superintendent.

HINSDALE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING ASSOCIATION Nursing Report for 1946

I hereby submit my fourth annual report for the year ending Dec. 31. 1946.

Prenatal . 27 Home deliveries 11 Postpartum 64 Newborn 93 Non-communicable ^ 337 Communicable 46 :

Health supervision Infants 56 Pre-school 54 Tuberculosis 15 Adult welfare 26 Schools 407

I was granted a 4 months leave of absence from January

15, 1946 to May 12, 1946 at which time Mrs. Robert Brandl, R. N. took over duties as Public Health Nurse of this community.

During the months of February and March quite a few cases of scarlet fever were reported and during May and June we had an epidemic of mumps, fortunately most of the cases were mild.

The annual physical examination of school children Avas completed in late fall by Doctor Edmond Lachaine, school phj^'sician. assisted by the school nurse. This year the out- standing defects among all students were defective teeth and tonsils. A dental clinic was planned for the fall but due to the illness of Doctor Grimes it was cancelled.

A pre-school and school Diphtheria Immunization Clinic was held in the Community Room October 16, and Nov. 21 Doctor Edmond Lachaine and Doctor H. L. Brown gave this toxoid to 5 infants, 54 pre-school and 85 school children. This year the age group was from 6 months to 10 years. Immuniza- tion was stressed by the State Department of Health, because of the prevalence of Diphtheria in this section of the country.

I have attended the following meetings. Sectional Public Health meeting in Keene, N. H. April 10, and September 27, 1946. School Nurses meeting in Keene, N. H. May 9th., State Teachers Conference Nurses Section Concord, N. H., October 18th., and the State Social Workers Institute Manchester, N. H. October 21.

Miss Helma LaFrantz, territorial supervisor from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., visited this service November

1st. 60

At his time I wish to thank the members of the local Nursing Committee, physicians, teachers and the community as a whole for their cooperation and assistance given me in promoting this work of this nursing service.

Respectfully submitted, FRANCES M. SIKOSKI, R. N.

The library is still unable to purchase many needed supplies. Books are of inferior makeup and after a short time ^lust be discarded as they cannot be rebound, due to narrow margins and poor paper. Those suitable for binding must wait months as binderies have little trained help or materials.

We have tried during the war years to have more liberal policies and in verj^ few instances have we been imposed upon to any great extent. However one who takes an advantage not only keeps others from getting what they need but curtails the good service that should be given to all.

The librarian attended the Mass. Library Institute held at Simmons College this summer.

The library is opened earty each afternoon to accommodate the bus children and is very busy for a few minutes. The children are very courteous and cooperative and we enjoy this work with them very much. Adult borrowers may have to wait a few minutes but we have heard of no complaints from them as yet. More people are using the reading room and it is unfortunate that they cannot be protected from the cold air, when the door is opened in winter. We hope this can be remedied some time.

REPORT OF THE HEADMASTER OF THE HIGH SCHOOL

To the Superintendent of Schools

It is an honor to submit my sixth annual report. Faculty Chang^es:

Miss Margaret Newman was elected to the Home Eco- nomics position vacated by Miss Filomenia Pitraszkiewicz who accepted a similar position iji Pembroke Academy. Mr. Leon Doyer filled the vacancy in the Industrial Arts department caused by the resignation of Mr. Lindsaj^ Hall. Upon his dis- charge from the army Mr. Carl Richmond resumed his duties as Supervisor of Music.

Student Activity Funds:

During the past few years student activities have increased to a considerable extent over Avhat they had been previously. Beginning with the sixth grade each class has its own organ- ization with class officers and a faculty advisor. A long rang plan covering the seven years in the high school building is begun with each entering sixth grade with the ultimate goal in view of a trip to Washington by the graduating class. Only with this extensive planning is such a trip possible for each class, year in and year out. Modest dues agreed upon by the pupils themselves are imposed upon the class members. In addition, such events as dances, plays and school parties are conducted which help to build the class treasuries. These events increase in number for each class as it approaches the Senior year. There are three other accounts besides the seven grade accounts. These comprise the General Fund, the Music Fund and the Athletic Fund. The General Fund is for the entire school and the source of such additions to our equipment as our Bell and Howell movie projector and new microphone. Proceeds from concerts and parades augment the Music Fund. This fund last year purchased new caps for the whole band, additional band capes and paid the expenses incurred in trips to state festivals etc. In past years the fund has purchased :

instruments for the band including two baritone horns, a snare drum, a glockenspiel, a clarinet, a mellophone and a pair of excellent Zildjian cymbals. This year our young musicians will participate in two Xew Hampshire festivals, one in Rochester and one in Portsmouth. Expenses for these trips will be paid

out of the Music Fund. The Athletic Fund is maintained for such purposes as buying equipment and hiring officials. Rev- enue for the fund is obtained from contributions at the games and from receipts of such events as our May Day activities. There are ten student treasurers, one for each class and one for each of the three funds mentioned above. Finally, Miss Hinchey keeps a master account of all the .school funds which tell at a glance the immediate standing of any or all of them. The balances as of the present are as follows Grade 12 (Class of '47) $495 59 Grade 11 (Class of '48) 420 45 Grade 10 (Class of '49) " 425 98 Grade 9 (Class of '50) 45 42 Grade 8 (Class of '51) 98 50 Grade 7 (Class of "52) 47 80 Grade 6 (Class of '53) 21 26 General Fund 17 88 Music Fund 241 14 Athletic Fund 30 62

Total $1,844 64

Visual Education: The Hinsdale School District this year has subscribed to a yisual aid service supplied by the University of New Hamp- shire. By means of this service we are able to obtain films of an instructional nature for our varied courses. We are thus able to supplement the regular instruction in such courses as Biology, Science, Social Studies, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Music and even Stenography. These aids in no way are intended to replace the tried and true methods of teaching but merely provide a supx^lementary enrichment of the curriculum. We are handicapped to a considerable extent in not having a room for the special projection of pictures. Our main room 83

is equipped with dark curtains but when it is desired to show a picture to a small class, the large number of pupils in the main room have to go elsewhere. Sometimes it is difficult to find space for them and other classes are disrupted. The only

answer to the problem is to have a special room available for am^ particular class when supplementary visual aids are being

used. This however is not possible in our present building.

Music Organizations:

Since my last annual report there have been many activities by the musical organizations of the high school. Last spring witnessed a well attended concert in the town hall provided by the glee clubs and the band. Also in the spring a selected group of Hinsdale pupils went to Nashua to participate in the state festival there. The band also took part in a music festival held at Newport. N. H. in May. During the town Memorial Day exercises the band played throughout the daj- as usual. During the summer the band played in Newport again for the American Legion, for the 4th of July celebration of the return of our servicemen and for the Labor Day parade.

Last fall saw the band appear in Bellows Falls in the Firemen's parade. The combined glee clubs and band plus the grade school children gave a Christmas Concert this year which was as well attended as any event in recent years. In March there will be an all New England festival in Brattleboro, Vt. in which Hinsdale High School pupils have been selected to play in the All New England Orchestra and Band and to sing in the All New England Chorus. A selected group of our young musicians will go to Rochester this spring to participate in a New Hampshire music festival and the entire band will travel to Portsmouth to take part in a state-wide audition.

At present the music organizations are hard at work pre- paring for a concert which will be held in the town this spring.

^ Extra Curricular Activities:

The Junior Class held the annual Halloween dance in October. A dance featuring square dancing was held by the Senior Class in November. 84

Feature movies were shown in the fall for the benefit of the Sophomore and Senior classes.

The Seniors rehearsed for the play presented at the Senior

Fair in February. The play this year is Noel Coward's ^'I'll

Leave It To You." Mrs. Gertrude Stearns is dramatic coach again this year.

The Border League games in touch football and volleyball were well played last fall. Our boys finished third in the league standing in football and our girls finished second in volleyball.

Interest is beginning to generate with regard to our two spring games of baseball for the boys and softball for the girls.

Miscellaneous :

Parents are advised that regular school attendance is necessary for good work. Good attendance and punctuality records are increasingly more important also as competition grows for college entrance and for desirable vocations.

All pupils were given a physical examination by Dr. Edmond Lachaine and Miss Frances Sikoski.

Our school custodian, Mr. ^Yilliam Kilhart, is to be com- mended for keeping the school plant in such good cortdition.

A cordial invitation is extended to parents and interested citizens to visit the school at all times.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

To the School Board and Citizens of the Hinsdale School District

I herewith submit my second annual report as superintendent of schools.

Finances: At the present writing, it appears that the expenses of operating schools in the Hinsdale School District for the school year 1946-1947 will exceed the income by approximately $3,600.00. Of this amount $2,650.00 has been granted as a teacher bonus for the current year. Three teachers whose salaries were particularly low were equalized with those of other members of the staff. All other teachers received an increment of $150.00 on their salary. This actidn was taken by the School Board early in the school year. Inasmuch as our school budget was prepared in December, 1945, it was not possible for the Superintendent or the School Board to foresee the tremendous increase in living costs which took place in the summer of 1946. Payments on the salary adjustments began on January 1, 1947. The remainder of the school deficit was caused by increases in the cost of scholars' supplies, janitor service and transportation, as well as numerous other small increases. The proposed expenditures for the school year 1947-1948 are $50,918.00. The estimated income is $750.00. The assessment on the town for next year will, therefore, be $50,168.00. This assessment is exclusive of a deficiency appropriation of $3,600.00 which is requested in the school warrant. The estimated expenditures for 1946-1947 are $45,204.55. The percent- 86 age increase in the expenditures for 1947-1948 over 1946-1947 is 10.4%. The assessment on the town for school purposes for 1946-1947 was $39,268.00. The assessment for 1947-1948, including the deficiency appropriation will be $53,768.00. The percentage increase in assessment is, therefore, 36.9%.

Salaries: One of the biggest increases in the budget is to be found in the item of teachers' salaries. The attention of the entire nation has been focused on the low level of teachers' salaries. The situation is so precarious that very few young people are entering the teaching profession. Some teachers interviewed by the Superintendent last year had offers for eight or ten different positions. Many beginning teachers will be getting salaries comparable to those now paid our experi- enced teachers in Hinsdale. However, our salary level compares favorably with our neighboring communities.

Buildings and Equipment: As stated in the report of the Superintendent of Schools last year, the buildings are well equipped. The buildings are, however, in need of some repairs. A recent survey by the State Board of Health indicated that our present lighting was not entirely adequate. If we are to continue to use these old buildings for many years, we will have to replace the present fixtures with frosted globes or fluores- cent lighting. Also mentioned in this survey was a need for fireproofing the janitor's room in both buildings. The narrow^ stairways to the basement in the grade school and the wooden fire escape were not approved. Both buildings are in need of painting.

Building Cammittee: The report of the building Commit- tee will be found elsewhere in this report. In the last school report, the Superintendent listed the many limitations in our present buildings. Among these limitations are the lack of a suitable music room, the lack of a suitable auditorium or gymnasium for physical education, the lack of adequate facilities for visual education, the lack of a suitable science laboratory, the lack of suitable storage space and the lack of a room for school lunch. In the elementary school, there is also need for a lunchroom as well as additional classrooms. We now expect over forty pupils will be entering grade one next 87 year. Approximately forty pupils will be promoted from grade one to grade two. The room now being used by grade two is very crowded with only 34 pupils. Because of the increased enrollments in the lower grades, there is included in the school warrant an article for the employment of an additional grade school teacher. This teacher will probably be used as a helping teacher in grades one and two. If the enrollment in grade one should exceed our present estimate, it might be necessary to divide grade one into two sections with the additional teacher handling one of these sections all of the time.

Personnel: Mr. Carl Richmond returned from war service in March, 1946, to replace Mr. Bernard Moushure who sub- stituted for him during that school year. Miss Margaret New- man, a graduate of Keene Teachers College, was employed in September to replace Miss Filomenia Pitraszkiewicz who accepted a position in Pembroke. Mr. Leon D. Doyer, a graduate of Keene Teachers College, replaced Mrs. Lindsay V. Hall in

September. Mr. Doyer is a veteran of the United States Army.

Testing Program: The Iowa Tests of Educational Devel- opment prepared by the Science Research Associates have been administered to all students in grades nine through twelve. These tests revealed certain weaknesses in our program which are now being remedied by the headmaster and teachers. The Metropolitan Achievement Tests have been administered to all pupils in grade two through nine. The schools in Supervisory Union No. 25 were selected by the World Book Company to participate in the establishment of new norms for this test.

While it is impossible to go into detail in regard to these tests, it should be stated that the pupils in Hinsdale compare favorably wth those in other sections of the country. : :

I wish to take this opportimit}^ to thank the School Board, teachers, and citizens for their cooperation and support.

Respectfull}' submitted, RICHARD A. MARTIN, Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PLANNING COMMITTEE

At the last meeting of the Hinsdale School District it was voted that the School Board form a School Planning Commit- tee to consist of the Board and members appointed by the Board to submit plans for a new school building at the next annual meeting. The School Board appointed Francis Mason, Luella Streeter, Jason Sikoski, Edward Maynard and Russell Garfield to serve on the Planning Committee. After due consideration the Committee engaged the firm of Alfred T. Granger Associates of Hanover, N. H. as its architect. During the past year the Committee has held ten meetings to confer with the architect, the Headmaster of the High School, the Principal of the Grammar School, the Superintendent of the School District and the Chief of Administrative Activities of the State Board of Education. The architect has submitted plans which have been carefully considered and revised by the Committee until we feel that they are entirely adequate for the present and future requirements of Hinsdale. These plans, now on display in the Community Room, consist of grammar and high schools and combination auditorium-gymnasium completely equipped with cafeteria, laboratories, shops, and facilities for visual and physical education. It is intended that the auditorium-gymnasium will be available for functions of local organizations as well as school and town affairs. At an early meeting the Committee voted to apply for federal funds to defray expenses of planning the elementary school and auditorium-gymnasium and was granted $6,750.00, of which one-half has been received. The remainder will be forthcoming upon completion of the working drawings. Sub- 98

sequently it was decided to request additional funds to cover expenses of planning the entire project. This request has been presented to the Federal Works Agency and a decision is now pending. When the town wishes to proceed with the construction of the school, or any part thereof, this advance must be returned.

Owing to the excessively high cost of materials and labor the Committee feels that it would be inadvisable to construct a school building this year. However, we do feel that some- thing difinite should be started at his time toward acquiring this school plant.

Respectfully submitted, THE SCHOOL PLANNING COMMITTEE. •

~~HELP YOUR FOREST FIRE WARDEN PREVENT FmES—IT PAYS!~~

The prevention of forest fires is the most important and difficult part of the work of your forest fire warden who heads a local organi- zation set up primarily for the security of your community's forest property. The importance and value of the work of the forest fire warden and his deputies is, perhaps, best appreciated during hazardous periods when fire danger is greatest. The public, however, looks to him at all times for speedy and economical suppression of going fires

To property fulfill his mission, the warden needs the generous and understanding cooperation of the public at large. He attempts to secure this cooperation by the posting of caution notices, news items and by word of mouth, always carefully explaining the necessity of restrictions imposed. In the matter of giving cooperation, however, the public often fails. The record shows that an average of 7,300 acres of woodland are burned over by forest fires in New Hampshire each year. Analysis of fire causes reveal the fact that more than 98 percent of all forest fires are, consistently, the result of human carelessness and are pre- ventable.

The careless smoker fails to properly extinguish his cigar, cigarette or pipe ashes or thoughtlessly throws them from the car window; the debris burner faUs or refuses to consult the warden, as the law requires when the ground is not covered with snow, before attempting to bum; campers fail to properly extinguish their fires or frequently build fires when conditions are unfavorable.

Remember these rules: 1. Use ordinary common sense with fire in and near woodland. 2. Comply with requirements on the use of fire in and near woodland and when the ground is not covered with snow, secure written permission to bum from the forest fire warden. 3. Be careful when smoking in or near woodlands. Don't throw lighted material from moving vehicles. 4. Cooperate with and assist the warden and urge others to do so. 5. HELP YOUR FOREST FIRE WARDEN PREVENT FIRES— his efforts are only as effective as is the cooperation you give him! F. J. BAKER. District Fire Chief.
