A large number of new members were appointed to our Civil Defense organization during the year upon recommendation by the Civil Defense Director James Hurton. Mr. Arthur A.

CURRAN THOMAS W. ACKERSON Selectmen of Wakefield

Report of the Town Clerk

To the citizens of the Town of Wakefield I herewith submit the report of the Town Clerk. On these, or later pages in this volume, you will find the record of marriages, births, and deaths for the year 1952, as recorded in our records, and as transcribed to the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and, also, the Town Meeting records.

This has been an extremely busy year for the Town Clerk's office. In addition to the ever-increasing routine duties of the office, hampered by inadequate quarters, we were obliged to supervise the preparation for a referendum on the High School site question in February, a Town election in March, Presidential Primaries in April, State Primaries in Sep- tember, and an extremely important State election in November. The details involved in these programs are many and exacting. The problems of registration and the judicial rulings involved require the time and attention of the clerk. The population of the Town of Wakefield has increased during the past few years to about 20,000. The demand for birth certificates, marriage certificates, the filing of chattel mortgages, the issuance of marriage certificates, the demands for copies of Town Meeting votes on bond issues and committee appointments, and other details have increased to an extent that the present staff, which has not been increased since 1939, has been over-worked at times to keep up with the increased demand for service. I have requested, from the Finance Committee, a small amount for some additional clerical assistance, which is needed. The Finance Committee, incidentally, in my opinion, is one of the best of the many good ones we have had in years, and have been very co-operative in matters involving election necessities. To them I extend my appreciation. 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 9

To the Board of Selectmen, also an efficient and harmoniously-function- ing board during the past year, the Town Accountant, and to other town departments, and to the Assistant Clerk, and the clerks and Assistant Reg- istrars under my supervision, I extend thanks and appreciation for their loyal co-operation. The town clerk's report includes a list of town officers, the jury list, reports of dog and sporting licenses issued, and election returns. These probably will not appear in one section, as formerly, but will be found on other pages.

If I were to suggest a solution to our municipal housing problem, I would recommend that the Town use the insurance money and restore the Town Hall (I never liked the term municipal building, because the Town Hall is part of the New England tradition) to its original condition as presented to the Town by Cyrus Wakefield—auditorium and all, with the handsome portraits of George Washington and Cyrus Wakefield, with, perhaps some new windows. The money received from the insurance probably would cover it, according to statements made to me by a reliable builder. Although many do not know it, the basement fire caused no damage to the second floor where the auditorium is located; it was confined to the first-floor main stairs and part of the offices on either side. The fire did not touch anything above the first floor. Then, I would suggest that, at some future time, the Town purchase, or take, the former Miller Piano building in the rear, and construct there a two or three story modern office building for all town offices not quartered in the Town Hall. I would suggest that the offices presently located in the Hall, with the addition of the others that could be accommodated in the former police headquarters and the former Water and Sewerage Board offices, be retained in the Town Hall, and, when it should become necessary, all other town offices be quartered in the new building directly behind. New York did it, as all know who are familiar with the New York city hall, facing City Hall Park, down town New York, with the old city hall intact and the office building in the rear. This program would cost the Town nothing at present, and the work could be done quickly, with least inconvenience. And, we should retain our municipal auditorium; there was the seat of our local government. Let's retain it; we will lose much if we succumb to the temptation of getting "something for nothing." If we love Wake- field, let's keep our town hall, tower, illuminated clock and all. If we have anything distinctive, like our lakes and our parks, etc., let's hold them and cherish them. CHARLES F. YOUNG, Town Clerk 10 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD

Report of Town Planning Board

To the Citizens of Wakefield:

The Town Planning Board submits this report of some of its activities for the year ending December 31, 1952.

The Board held two public hearings in respect to amendments to the town zoning by laws. The voters of the town, following recommendations of the Board, adopted all proposed amendments.

The revision of the zoning by-laws, begun in 1951, was completed in the spring of 1952 and has now been printed in booklet form. The town zoning map was also revised and corrected to December 15, 1952, and new maps have been printed. The Board conferred with various citizens in respect to zoning and development matters and particularly with reference to rezoning land adjacent to Route 128 for industrial or business use.

Report of Board of Appeals

December 31, 1952 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Wakefield, Massachusetts Dear Sirs: The Board of Appeals during the year 1952 held twelve hearings on requests for permits of variance in the Zoning By-Laws of the Town of Wakefield. The Board granted permits to the petitioners in five of these cases, one was denied, five were given leave to withdraw—one case is now pending. During the year Mr. W. P. Lombard, on account of pressure of business could not accept reappointment on the Board. Mr. Lombard served on the Board from 1939 to 1952 and during this time his experience and advice have been invaluable. The Board acknowledges with deep appreciation the service which he has rendered to us and to the citizens of the town of Wakefield. Mr. James J. Curley, an attorney, was appointed by the Board of Se- lectmen for a term of three years. BOARD OF APPEALS WM. C. McKIE, Chairman Members of the Board: Wm. C. McKie, Harold W. Merritt, James J.

Ambulance

On February 6, 1941, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley W. Heath presented a new Dodge ambulance to the Police Department in memory of Mr. Heath's father, Dr. Joseph W. Heath. This was the second ambulance that the Heaths have presented to the Police Department over a period of years. Since the presentation of this ambulance to the town, it has carried 4,512 patients to and from hospitals and, added to this total, are the numer- ous trips the ambulance has made to scenes of accidents and fires. This ambulance must be replaced now as it rides hard and it has many defects. I am recommending the purchase of a new 1953 Cadillac ambulance at a cost of $7,400.00, delivered. This ambulance is noted for its easy-riding qualities — a feature which is needed by the sick when being taken to and from the hospitals.

AUXILIARY POLICE

In connection with the Civil Defense set-up, a Police Auxiliary Force, made up of citizens of this town, was organized in 1951. Sergt. John M. Wenzel was designated by the Chief of Police as the instructor of this organization. On December 31st, 1951, this Police Auxiliary Organization had a membership of fifty-seven men, and, on December 31st, 1952, there was a force of eighty men trained in Police work and ready and willing to assist the regular officers of the department in any and all emergencies. All of these officers have had revolver practice on the range under the leadership of Instructors Maurice Lenfest and Laurence Tucker, who are two men known as experts in the use of firearms. There are, at the present time, two teams, made up of Auxiliary Police, entered in the New England Police Revolver League in competition with Auxiliary Police from other departments. They have done very well and are well up in the League standing. Forty-four members of this organization have taken and have completed the Standard Red Cross First-Aid Course. Eight members have completed the Advance First-Aid Course and are now taking the Instruc- tor's Course. When they have completed this course and receive their certificates, they will conduct the Standard Course for the new members of the Auxiliary Police Department. During the past year, the Auxiliary Officers have been used in direct- ing traffic and assisting the regular officers in enforcing law and order on May 30th, the night of July 3rd, during the parade and fireworks on July

4th, October 31st (Halloween night) ; for assisting in the search of the woods for a girl reported as missing in a neighboring town; and, also, for 20 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

doing extra patrol duties during the scare and uneasiness caused by the two murders in Reading, a short while back. These officers have also done duty at the Quannapowitt Bathing Beach when it was re-opened during the summer. A record has been kept showing that these Auxiliary Officers have actually done 1,645 hours of police work during 1952 at no cost to the town. If it had been necessary to hire reserve officers to do this amount of work, it would have cost the town $1,908.20.

I respectfully recommend that a sum of money be voted and set aside in the Civil Defense budget to buy some police uniforms of various sizes that can be used by many of these Auxiliary Officers when they are called upon to do Police work. These men receive nothing for their work and, that being so, they should not be expected to buy their own uniforms. This organization respectfully regrets the untimely death of Mr. Richard Connors, its First-Aid Instructor, who spent many hours each week teaching First-Aid to all the officers. He was very exacting in all his teaching and wanted everyone to know just what to do in an emergency.

To all members of this Police Auxiliary Department, who have shown a keen interest in their work and classes at all times, I wish to extend my sincere thanks for their efforts and time, and I trust that this organization will continue to function, as such, for years to come. I am also thankful to Sergeant Wenzei for the many extra hours of overtime work he has devoted to organizing this force and training it to the high level it has reached today. My sincere thanks are also extended to Mr. Lenfest and Mr. Tucker for the firearm instruction they have given to the officers, and also to Mr. James Hurton, Director of Civil Defense, for his co-operation during the past year.

RECOMMENDATIONS, ETC.

For 1953 I recommend that six additional men be added to the Per- manent Force. This will allow for the Permanent Force to be placed upon a 56 hour plan basis which prevails in the majority of cities and towns throughout the state.

I also recommend that a Capital Outlay plan be revived to provide at least a part of the cost of new pieces of apparatus as may be needed in the future. Replacement of Engine 1 purchased in 1924 will cost around $20,000.00 today. Replacement of Ladder 1 purchased in 1928 will cost in the vicinity of $35,000.00 at present day prices. And to replace Engine 2 purchased in 1929 would cost $20,000.00. All motor equipment has been kept up to an operable condition, repairs having been made when necessary during 1952.

During 1952 a total of 317 power oil burners, and 14 range type burners were inspected and approved, together with approval of 113,975 gallons of fuel oil storage for same.

Other permits granted after inspections are as follows: Explosives 18;

Inflammables 11; Underground tank removals 2; Liquefied Petroleum Gas 7; all gasoline stored under licenses granted by the Board of Selectmen, and 2 permits for shutting off of sprinklers for the repairs of the systems or extensions. In the month of December around Christmas week there were 296 Christmas trees sprayed along with 20 wreaths and 9 sprays. This service is given in the interest of home protection with a fire retarding solution.

CONCLUSION

In closing this report I wish to extend to the Honorable Board of Se- lectmen my sincere thanks for the interest and cooperation manifested by them in all matters pertaining to this department. I wish to express my appreciation to the residents of Wakefield for their cooperation in fire prevention, to the permanent firemen who have responded to alarms when off duty; to the members of the call force for their cooperation at all times; to the auxiliary firemen who have given so freely of their time and efforts, and to all other members of all other town departments for their assistance and cooperation. To Herbert K. Noble and Miss Catherine E. Simpson my thanks are extended for their cooperation on matters pertaining to the Fire De- partment. Respectfully submitted, CLIFFORD E.

Report of Director of Civil Defense

Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall Wakefield, Massachusetts Gentlemen

The department of Civil Defense herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1952. This department was organized pursuant to directives issued by the Governor of Massachusetts, Paul A. Dever, and Chapter 639 General Laws of Massachusetts.

There is one paid employee serving as office clerk and field agent. The director and all other members of the organization are serving on a volun- teer basis. There are at present nine hundred and nineteen (919) volun- teers serving in the various agencies of this department.

ALERT TESTS: Repeated alert tests were held by the State Agency throughout the year. On May 20, 1952 a brief alert was held in which the general public and private industry participated. Public cooperation during this test was commendable. 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 29

COMMUNICATIONS: The Light Department placed six (6) sirens at various points throughout the town in establishing a public warning system. A State Police Receiver and Civil Defense Alert Receiver are in operation at the Central Police Station. A two-way radio-telephone net- work has been installed in the fire department consisting of a control station located in the Central Fire Station a remote control unit in the Green- wood Station and an extension speaker in the Central Police Station. Four two-way radio units located on fire apparatus and two portable radio units. Chairman in charge of this division is Mr. John Curran, Wire Inspector for the Town and a man who has devoted much time to this enterprise.

MEDICAL SERVICES: Under the direction of Mrs. Ernestine Nardone, First-Aid classes, and Home Nursing classes have been made available to those desiring this type of training.

WELFARE SERVICES: Mr. Francis Wallace, Welfare Agent, attended school at Wayside Inn, Sudbury, Mass., during the week of September 29 through October 3, 1952. This was an informative course and I wish to thank the Board of Public Welfare for allowing him that week to attend this school. This past December saw the Wakefield Grange #293 P. of H. join the Town's Civil Defense organization as a unit. They will serve directly under Mr. Wallace, and we welcome their realization of a civic duty, and willingness to help protect their homes.

FIRE SERVICES: The Auxiliary Fire Department under Auxiliary Fire Chief Walter Carley attends regular instruction classes and he has set up a regular training course for the Auxiliary Department. Lieut. Mechanic King serves as instructor for the Department and Engine #5 is their principal piece of training equipment. The Auxiliary Department was held in readiness during the May 20th alert, the July 4th celebration, the search for a lost Lynnfield girl, Halloween and other times when their services were required.

POLICE SERVICES: Sgt. Merritt J. Wenzel in charge of the group of Auxiliary Police which is now the largest and most efficient group in the Civil Defense organization. He now has 85 men trained in all phases of police work. These men ably displayed their abilities and civic loyalties during the following periods; the Memorial Day observance, the Fourth of July, Halloween, their response to aid Lynnfield in the search for a missing girl in which the portable radio units were employed, and their establishment of patrols covering the town at the request of Police Chief John G. Gates, and their strict attendance of their bi-weekly meetings. It might be noted that these men, through their services to the Town, have more than offset the cost of the entire Civil Defense program. Sgt. Wenzel should receive special commendation for the fine work he has done in organizing and operating with this fine group of men. The number of hours he has spent in this endeavor are countless.

THE FINANCE DIVISION consisting of both purchasing and stock and supply control have been capably attended by Lieut. William Hurton of the Fire Department. Town Accountant John McCarthy proved himself a capable councilor. 30 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

This past year I was extremely fortunate in having Miss Catherine E. Simpson and Mr. Thomas W. Ackerson members of the Board of Select- men serving as the Town representatives on Civil Defense matters. Their co-operation and understanding of the problems of the Department made it a pleasant year to serve this Town. I would like to extend my appreciation to the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Herbert K. Noble, and members of the Board of Selectmen and all members of all Depart- ments and Agencies which assisted in this task. Also our thanks to Town Clerk Charles F. Young for keeping himself and his office available to this Agency at all times. Very truly yours, Wakefield Civil Defense Agency JAMES T. HURTON Director

Report of Board of Health

To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield: In reporting the health of the Town of Wakefield for the year 1952, the Board of Health would like to call attention to the increase in the prevalence of Measles and German Measles. There were 865 cases of German Measles in the grade schools and 205 cases reported in the high school. German Measles reached the third highest level ever recorded being exceeded only by the two epidemic years 1935 and 1943. There were over 350 cases of Measles reported to the Health Department with two cases requiring hospitalization. Twelve cases of Scarlet Fever were reported this year. Prompt treatment of sore throats with sulfa drugs and antibiotics is probably masking this disease and making it hard to recognize. One case of Salmonellosis (para-typhoid) was reported. The onset of this disease being in Mexico. The Town was fortunate in having not one case of Poliomyelitis reported for 1952. Mr. Kenneth G. Shaw, Agent, reported that 308 dogs were innoculated with chick embryo against rabies at the Anti-Rabie Clinic. A Chest X-Ray Survey was made in October by the State Department of Public Health in cooperation with the Board of Health, Wakefield Tu- berculosis Committee and the Middlesex Health Association. The following is the report of the Survey Findings:

Report of Milk and Food Inspector

To the Board of Health, Wakefield, Mass. Gentlemen:

Herewith is submitted the annual report of the Inspector of Milk & Food for the year ending December 31, 1952.

It is pleasing to report that the milk supply of our Town, at the present time, is probably the best we have ever enjoyed.

The laboratory tests, for total solids and butter fat contents, of 168 samples of milk, cream and ice cream showed marks well above those required by State Standards, while the average bacteria count was approximately the lowest to date. The continued growth in Wakefield's population together with the number of new and varied grades of milk now being marketed have naturally increased the work of this office, especially in regard to hours consumed and nature of ground covered.

There is at present 10,000 quarts of milk, cream and ice cream consumed daily in Wakefield, of which approximately 90% comes from out of State 32 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

dairies and none whatever from those within our own limits. In the above regard, 25 producing dairies come under our inspection, most of which are located in New Hampshire. With respect to food inspection, there were the usual number of minor complaints, and but one resulting in violent sickness of 3 persons. All were investigated as to sources and each satisfactorily adjusted.

52 Retail Milk Licenses were issued @ $ .50 $ 26.00

28 Dealer Milk Licenses were issued @ $ . 50 14.00 34 Oleomargarine Licenses were issued @ $ .50 17.00 4 Pasteurization Licenses were issued @ $10.00 40.00 5 Ice Cream Mfg. Licenses were issued @ $5.00 25.00

Total receipts $122.00

Respectfully submitted, LAWRENCE E. DOUCETT Inspector of Milk and Food

Report of Board of Public Welfare

January 15, 1953 To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield:

The Board of Public Welfare submits its annual report for the fiscal year of 1952.

As stated in previous annual reports, relief in Massachusetts is administered on a categorical basis, ie; Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, Disability Assistance and General Relief. The cost of the three first named programs is shared by the federal government, the state and the town. General Relief is paid for by the town and in some cases by the state. Total expenditures for all relief in Wakefield for the year 1952 and including the Town Home and Administration amounted to $423,528.32. We had returned from all sources $305,841.50 which left a net cost of $117,686.82 or 25.4%. In 1952 Wakefield spent approximately $3,216,862.53 for all town departments and the net welfare cost was 3.7% of the total town expense. There has been some legislation which has had an effect on expenditures. As a result of the law passed which requires the placing of a lien on real property of persons receiving Old Age Assistance, and effective

January 1, 1952, four cases were closed as those persons withdrew from our rolls rather than have a lien placed. The law has acted as a deterent to applications for Old Age Assistance as several throughout the year withdrew applications when informed of the new law. Other legislation provided increased minimum payments to Old Age Assistance recipients, provided an increased rent and board and room allowance, and increased the 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 33

exemption of children toward support of parents. On the other hand,

starting October 1,. 1952, the federal government increased their financial participation in Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children. This, together with an increase in Social Security Benefits, tended to hold expenditures during the last quarter and will be reflected on a wider basis during 1953. The Town Home, under the direction of Mrs. Lena Peck and assisted by Mrs. Anna Miezwa, as cook, functioned in a satsifactory manner. The office personnel remains the same and, as a result of survey made by the State Department of Public Welfare, has been commended for the performance of their work.

General Relief As indicated in last year's report the number of cases in this category were materially reduced. This was due in part to transfer of some cases to the new program of Disability Assistance. The number of cases were reduced from 20 at the beginning of the year to 13 at the end of the year and the full appropriation was not used as some $12,000.00 was returned unspent.

Aid to Dependent Children The number of cases assisted in this category remains the same. Seven new cases were added to the rolls and seven cases were closed during the year for the following reasons: Recipient re-married 1 Recipient gained sufficient resource 2 Recipient moved out of town 2 Recipient proved no longer eligible 2

Old Age Assistance This program continues to show a decline in the number of cases aided. The case load dropped from 345 to 325 at the end of 1952. During the year, 40 new cases were opened and 60 cases were closed for the following reasons:

Recipient died 28 Recipient moved out of town 19 Recipient withdrew at own request 5 Recipient transferred real property 1 Recipient obtained work 2 Recipient had sufficient resource 4 Recipient was sent to jail 1

A perusal of our case load as of January 1953 shows 120 persons or 37% to be age 80 or over with the average age at 77 years.

Disability Assistance As noted in last year's report this program, which became effective in November 1951, resulted in transferring some cases from General Relief. 34a TOWN OP WAKEFIELD

Our anticipated expense worked out well and the end of the year shows 19 cases being aided. This is an expanding program and we anticipate some further additions this coming year. ADMINISTRATION Board Members Town Funds

Report of Veterans' Benefits and Services

January 26, 1953 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:

The Veterans' Benefits and Services Department submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1952. During the past year the budgetorial allowance to recipients was increased by State legislation by 5%.

Under Chap. 115, General Laws as amended, the Town of Wakefield is reimbursed one-half of all monies spent, provided that proper authorization from the State as to settlement, dependency and need is shown. Prom an appropriation of $32,000.00 the amount of $29,889.42 was expended and $726.55 was refunded on returned checks. This left an amount of $2,837.13 as unexpended appropriation to be returned to the town. From the total expenditures, one-half will be reimbursed from the State. We are again pleased to report that through careful investigation and periodical check- ups, there have been no disallowments from the State office this year.

Report of Recreation Commission

The staff consisted of a general supervisor; an assistant supervisor, who was in charge of folk dancing and pageantry; a handicraft supervisor; and eleven assistants.

Moulton, Maple Way, Montrose School, Hart's Hill, the Common, and Nasella were used for general play areas. Veterans' Field was used for adult softball, and Walton Field for older boys baseball. Greenwood Union Church Vestry and the High School Auditorium were used one day a week for movies proper for children under twelve years of age. Folk dancing and pageantry were practiced in the Lafayette Building in the mornings.

The smaller children enjoyed story telling periods, swings, see-saws, slides and sandbox play besides their movie programs.

Horseshoes, basketball, and baseball were preferred by the older boys. The girls enjoyed tennis, circle games, softball, volley ball and dodge ball.

Special contests with prize awards were held weekly on the various playgrounds.

Demonstration Day consisted of championship games all day on the Common. In the evening under lights at Veterans' Field as part of the above program the features were: a pageant and folk dance exhibit, a handicraft exhibit, adult softball games, and dancing for the youngsters on the tennis courts to musical recordings.

Two new features this year were the formal opening of the Little League with a gala parade, and the opening of the beach and playground at the head-of-the-lake.

Eleven uniformed teams consisting of 165 boys from 8 to 12 years in age played a schedule of more than 120 games from June to September. Next year we expect to have leagues consisting of 16 teams of 240 boys, ages from 8 to 15 years, playing a schedule of more than 200 games.

The head-of-the-lake beach was opened as a public playground in early August. The swimming area was restricted to local youths who were qualified to use the playgrounds.

A waterfront expert watched over the swimming, and a playground supervisor, the play area adjoining the beach. Barrels were floated on ropes to mark the swimming area and close watch was kept on the children at all times. The use of the beach in this manner was the first use of any kind since the area was closed to everyone early in the summer of 1951.

Injuries on the beach and on the playgrounds consisted of one frac- tured ankle and a few minor injuries. Most of the cuts treated were from off-shore bathing near the Common.

With a systematic planning of one building a year, in a short time, 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 37 all play areas would have lavatory facilities, and storage space for equipment.

These are the greatest needs for the immediate future.

Report of Board of Public Works

To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield:

During the year 1952 the department substantially completed all work which had been planned for in the budget. This work was accomplished, in general, with Town labor and equipment with the exception of the contract that was awarded for the construction of sidewalks and curbings. Building construction continued at a rapid rate and has been responsible for a large number of sewer and water connections. Funds were appropriated at the Town Meeting in March 1952 for a backhoe attachment for the one-half yard Osgood shovel, which was formerly highway equipment. With this backhoe many thousands of feet of trench for sewer and water mains and drainage were excavated with a decided saving to the Town. It is going to be necessary in 1953 to resand filter No. 1 for the Water Division which has not been sanded since 1947. The replacing of the old cement lined sheet iron water pipe was continued in the distribution system with cement lined cast iron pipe. There are still several miles of this pipe to replace and it is planned to continue the replacement program. The sand niters have been cleaned more often this year than has been the custom as a result of the clogging of the filters by profuse algae growth. The extremely dry spell we experienced during the summer and fall months caused the lake to drop 65" and it is still low. It is felt that this low water has been responsible in part for the algae growth and clogging of the filters. Considerable thought has been given to an auxiliary pumping unit at the Broadway pumping station to replace the existing steam pump which is 72 years old. This unit is inadequate to provide water for the Town in case of an emergency during a power failure. We expect to request a Diesel pumping unit or auxiliary gas pump to replace existing steam pump. If the Town is to continue with the present water system, as was indicated by the 1952 Town Meeting, it appears expedient that some auxiliary equipment should be installed. If standby facilities are installed it is planned to make changes in the heating equipment for the station and the adjoining buildings. Late in the Fall of 1952 we found that screen cages for the two fresh water intakes for the pumping station had disintegrated due to age and immediate repairs were necessary. The services of a diver were secured in late November and his work will extend into 1953 before complete repairs are accomplished. The Glen Meadow sewer project, which was started in the Fall of 1951, was completed this year with the exception of the patching of streets which will be done as fast as house connections are completed on the individual streets. There is still a need for the construction of lateral sewers in many parts of Town and plans have been prepared and it is expected that the construction will be recommended by the Board of Health. :

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS

December 31, 1952 To the Honorable Board of Public Works Wakefield, Massachusetts Gentlemen

When I wrote my report for the year 1951, I had been in charge of the Public Works Department for only seven months. I commented that I felt the consolidation of departments was working decidedly to the advantage of the Town for economical operation. Now that we have had a complete year under the same set-up, I am thoroughly convinced that we are working together as one department for the benefit of the taxpayer. A meter testing machine, that was authorized by the 1952 Town Meet- ing, will not be delivered until January 1953. We are now contemplating, with the new meter testing machine, to start a meter program whereby all the meters in Town will, in due time, be tested and adjusted to operate correctly. It is a well known fact that meters tend to run slowly after a period of years and there is no question but what the Town is losing money on this account.

Two men must be allocated to this work and stay on it until the program has been completed which may require several years. If we are to get results it will be necessary to have a service truck for this purpose which I intend to request in the 1953 budget.

We are in need of other equipment and it is essential that we have a low bed trailer to move the bulldozer and small roller which have to be moved from place to place very frequently.

It is contemplated requesting two new V2 ton pick-up trucks and turn- ing in two old ones, also a 76" mower for the Park Department, a sprayer for the Moth & Tree Department, and a vehicle for the Engineering De- partment is definitely needed. Our plows and sidewalk tractors are very old and it is contemplated requesting two new sidewalk tractors and three plows. For your information I am submitting reports of the various divisions of the Public Works Department which are as follows: 40 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

ENGINEERING DIVISION

This division furnished all job engineering required for the construction of drains, sewers, street and sidewalks done by the various divisions. Extensive drainage studies were made which resulted in economic design and lower construction costs. Estimates and plans for street acceptance were prepared for hearings, involving seven streets. This required a detailed study in each instance to determine the most economic grade and design to fit the general contour of existing properties. Many requests for sidewalks and curbing were received and detailed estimates prepared. The engineers have also been called upon to furnish street lines, street numbers and many miscellaneous engineering studies. It is planned to have hearings on street work during the early months of 1953 for all interested parties in connection with street acceptance requests that are now pending. In general the engineers have been called upon to do all engineering in connection with drainage, sewer and street work which is being considered for the 1953 budget. This work consists of surveys and design as well as details of construction so that fairly accurate estimates may be made for budgetary purposes and so that interested parties may be advised as to their costs. The engineering department has worked this year with an average of about three men for the entire year (there have been at times as many as five men and as few as two). The work load carried by this department has been very heavy. It is recommended that we have at least four men and it would be preferable to have five men to give the people the service they should have especially where all engineering is now done by the town. The absence of an engineering department in past years has resulted in a tremendous back-load of necessary engineering work which is essential to the efficient operation of the Department of Public Works. It is expected in the future, as in the past year, that the engineering department will be in a position to furnish all engineering required in the Public Works Department, except in special cases involving intricate design when it might be advisable to secure the services of a consultant as mentioned in last year's report.

MOTH AND TREE DIVISION

During the year we removed forty-eight trees. Twelve of these trees were killed by gas, nineteen had Dutch Elm Disease and others were dead or in a dangerous condition. There has been no increase in Gypsy Moths and Tent Caterpillars but Japanese Beetles are increasing in many areas. In an effort to combat Dutch Elm Disease we trimmed many of our elms and sprayed by helicopter. We planted one hundred and forty-eight trees on new and various streets throughout the town. These trees were grown in our nursery. We would like the co-operation of all property owners with dying or freshly cut elm wood to destroy this wood or put it under cover. 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 41

PARK AND CEMETERY DIVISION

The maintenance of the parks and playgrounds was accomplished under a considerable handicap in 1952. A great part of our work during the summer months is grass cutting, which demands efficient equipment in good mechanical condition. Our present mower is in its sixth year of steady service and, being worn out, was constantly breaking down. Con- sequently, our cutting program was always behind schedule, which also had its effect on other phases of our work. Again there is a request for the purchase of a new mower for 1953. Two additional baseball diamonds were constructed last year, one at the Moulton Playground and one at the Mapleway in Greenwood. Both were in great demand by the Little League of Wakefield. Bleachers were borrowed from the School Department and erected at these new diamonds for the benefit of townspeople interested in this organization. During the month of August, the beach area at the north end of Lake Quannapowitt was opened for swimming and recreation under the supervision of the Recreation Department. Although there was no money spe- cifically allotted for the maintenance of the area, the Park Division man- aged to keep the beach relatively clean and attractive. There is great need for a comfort station on this plot so that some of the unpleasant conditions of the past may be corrected. The Hall Park Committee had several meetings during the year. Mr. Seth Kelsey of Boxford, Massachusetts, submitted a plan for the park that has been accepted. A full report of the committee will be found included in this year's annual town report. Wakefield has again lost several elms on the Common. Plantings of other trees have been made so that eventually the area will be as attractive as it has been in the past. The Bath House had an average year. Attendance was good until the last week of August when interest waned. Some difficulty was had in obtaining qualified Life Guards, but a full staff was on duty when the beach opened. The Red Cross swimming instruction was popular, several hundred children taking advantage of this opportunity. During the season, there were no drownings or any other serious accidents. The weeds in Lake Quannapowitt were less troublesome than in 1951. The water was good until August, when an application of copper sulphate was found to be necessary. The Floral Way on Church Street had better care in 1952, $500.00 being allocated for this maintenance. The general improvement in the appear- ance of this area showed the effort was worthwhile. The Park Division has endeavored to cooperate with all organizations using the parks and playgrounds. The various baseball leagues, the West Side Social Club, the Hartshorne Association, and the Garden Club have all benefited by this cooperation. The entrance to Forest Glade Cemetery received extensive repairs on the main avenue. The shoulders of this drive had been in poor condition for a number of years. These sections were excavated, filled in with stone and gravel and finally two inches of hot top was rolled in place. It was found necessary to construct a new catch basin and connect it with the drainage system of the cemetery. 42 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD

It was also necessary to install 200 feet of lateral drain. 8-inch tile pipe was laid in stone and connected with the trunk drain constructed by a P. W. A. project in 1936. The cemetery has received the benefit of several thousand cubic yards of earth fill that was surplus on other municipal projects. Advantage of these opportunities is eventually going to save Wakefield a good deal of expense. The following is a summary of work other than regular maintenance:

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE The Wakefield School Committee opens its report of the year 1952 with the historic action of the Annual Town Meeting in voting to erect south of the present high school, a new senior high school. Completion of the new high school will free the present high school building for use as a junior high school, thus relieving crowded conditions in all elementary buildings. This progressive action of the Town, the result of years of work by numbers of enlightened citizens, is a significant step in the town's history. It is an investment in youth which should bring rich dividends to the town and to the country for years to come. The moderator placed in the hands of the building committee which presented the plans the task of overseeing this project: Earl L. Bears, Chairman, James W. Anthony, George B. Fay, Willard N. Bain, Lane W. Fuller, Michael F. Collins, Loren Hutchins, Mrs. Edna Wentzel, John B. Hendershot. The year closes with the Mary E. Walton and the Harris M. Dolbeare Schools well advanced in construction. Occupancy of these buildings is expected in September 1953. 54 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

For the first time in twenty years, the Town begins to catch up with its needs in school buildings. Registration continues to mount. As of December 31, 1952, 266 more pupils are enrolled in our schools, an increase of 8.4%, making an enrollment of 3441. With this heavy registration, pupils have had to be transferred out of their home districts to schools where they might be accommodated. Double

sessions for grades 4, 5, and 6 have been established at the Hurd and War- ren Schools. The Woodville School continues to house 7th and 8th grades. These factors, together with traffic hazards, have brought about heavy demands for transportation. This transportation burden will continue until all three new schools are in use. During the year, the State increased the minimum salary for teachers to $2500. A cost of living 3% increase was voted by the School Committee for all personnel except the superintendent. Upon recommendation of the Contributory Retirement Board, the School Committee adopted a policy that all personnel other than teachers present a health certificate before initial employment. Throughout the year, constant effort has been made, in cooperation with the Police Department and various organizations to correct traffic hazards near schools and to prevent the passing of school buses by care- less drivers. The School Committee has requested the Board of Public Works to include in its budget sufficient funds to provide sidewalks adjacent to all schools where no proper sidewalk exists. Due to continuing teacher shortages, the School Committee again voted to suspend its rule which would permit the marriage of a woman teacher to constitute a resignation. Beginning in September, through the generosity of the Trustees of the Beebe Memorial Library, space in the Montrose Branch Library has been used as a first grade classroom. A change in the school entrance age of children was voted in October and publicly announced. As of September 1953 the entrance age will be 5 years and 8 months plus children 5 years and 6 months and 5 years and 7 months who have passed an entrance test. As of September 1954 the entrance age will be 5 years and 8 months with no testing. New Health Rules and Regulations were published according to latest State requirements.

In December the Town of Lynnfield gave notification that as of Sep- tember 1953 it would care for its high school freshmen at the new Lynn- field Junior High School. Tuition rates of $281.36 for high school pupils and $169.47 for elementary pupils were established according to the prescribed state formula. In spite of crowded conditions, achievement tests show elementary school work in reading and spelling to be high above normal, and work in science and geography to be normal.

Changes in the clerical personnel of the school offices have occurred. Eleanor Cardillo was appointed to a vacancy in the superintendent's office, and Serena Murley and Rose Pyburn were appointed to the high school office.

Mr. Gerard G. Barry, head of the department of social studies at the 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 55

high school was appointed sub-master of the high school, succeeding Arthur A. Pulton, retired. Bernice Hendrickson, 1908-1952, Blanche Meserve, 1917-1952, and Mary E. C. Geagan, 1907-1952, of the elementary schools, and Donald White, 1918-1952, of the high school, retired this year. These veteran teachers, cherished by the department for their gifted and loyal service, and by their pupils for their guidance and inspiration, have written a memorable chapter in Wakefield education. The resignation of William P. Lynch, custodian, because of illness, was received with genuine regret. Charles L. Rice was appointed to fill this vacancy. Building maintenance continues to be given careful attention. Ex- tensive painting, a new roof for the Montrose School, and complete lighting for the Warren and Lincoln Schools were major projects. A Creative Workshop in connection with our special class was organized in September. The organization of the School Committee continues the same: Mrs. Mary Louise Tredinnick, chairman; Michael P. Collins, secretary; Walter C. Hickey, treasurer. Lane W. Fuller is school representative on the Town Civil Defense Committee, and Michael F. Collins represents the schools on the V. F. W. Safety Council. Mr. Collins addressed the graduating class and presented the diplomas. The Town of Wakefield has taken a courageous, confident step toward a bright future for its young people in its vote to erect a new high school. Such a vote is a statement of faith in America. The School Committee, ever conscious of its responsibility to the citizens of the Town, present and to come, values its opportunity to work with Supt. John B. Hendershot and all School Department personnel toward one end, knowledge, usefulness, and vision for Wakefield's young people!

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT

To the Wakefield School Committee:

I have the honor to present for your information and consideration my second Annual Report of the Superintendent of Schools; it is for the year ending December 31, 1952. The past year has been a happy one for me, The pleasure of working with the people of Wakefield, the school staff, and with you has more than fulfilled my anticipations. I said in last year's report that the schools of Wakefield are good schools. The past year has made me even surer of that statement. Weaknesses do exist, of course. Some of them have been discovered and partly overcome. We are at work on others. Those of us engaged in carrying on the work of the schools have found it to be one of intensive activity. We are in the midst of a period of study tional program for Wakefield despite the fact that overcrowding in class- and reorganization in order to maintain and develop further the educa- rooms grows more acute. Modern education makes the child the center of activity rather than the subject. It sets up for itself definite problems whose answers meet the need of the child, and it encourages the child to search far and wide 56 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD for any knowledge or information which he can obtain that will help him to answer his own problems. More and more, this type of working together —pupils with pupils and pupils with teachers—has become the standard of procedure in our schools. The result is that our pupils are not only standing well in the fundamental kinds of knowledge, but also they are developing clear emotional standards, sound moral 'judgment, and a broad democratic spirit of living happily together. These latter achievements are not measurable; they can be judged only individually. If one has watched schools grow over a period of years, it is clearly evident that children are getting all they ever got frcm the three R's, plus a great many other benefits equally as valuable to them in living a worthwhile life. More and more teachers are finding it difficult to maintain this type of program as classroom enrollments become larger. Wakefield teachers in general are alert to the situation and are studying with marked earnest- ness in order to discover feasible adjustments and modifications that will enable the schools to continue serving the diverse personalities and objectives of the pupils. We do not want and we feel that the parents in Wakefield do not want a static, formal, dictatorial teacher-dominated classroom atmosphere. The fact remains that many of our elementary classrooms at present have a larger pupil enrollment than is desirable for modern educational practice. Primary classroom enrollments will continue to be larger than we desire them to be. We are certain that because of these large classes READING will become a problem for some of our children. I recommend, therefore, that in the immediate future a developmental remedial reading program be instituted in our system in order to "rescue" children who ap- parently become "lost" and need the additional help in their early training in Reading. To teach and to train the children in the many necessary branches and to prepare them as far as they are capable of being prepared to meet life with courage, hope, and understanding is an almost overwhelming task, a tremendous responsibility, a challenging service, and a real profession. Young men and women admitted to teacher-training today are selected for their natural ability, scholarship, character, health, adaptability and purpose. They must spend from four to five years after high school graduation in intensive study and practice, not alone in the arts of teaching, but also in cultural fields. So long as they continue in the profession, be it four or forty years, they must continue to study and improve their knowledge and technique. There is no end of study in the teaching profession. Our teachers have been carefully chosen and are efficient, progressive, loyal and professionally alert; they are rendering an invaluable service.

If we are taken sick, the best physician is none too good; if we are in trouble at law, the most learned and skilled lawyer seems absolutely necessary; if we are about to build an important structure, only a highly skilled engineer can be of real service to us; thus it follows that if we want the best training and skill for the most important business of life—the successful training of our youth—the best teachers are the least we should demand. "The children first" should be one of our important mottoes, because 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 57

if they are properly trained, they will assume the responsibilities of the future successfully. How manifestly unfair it would be if we were un- willing to give up unnecessary luxuries and extravagances and deny the children full training for the life they must live. The program of in-service improvement of staff members is worthy of special comment. New discoveries and research in child growth and development, guidance services, methods and materials of instruction, make outmoded some of our older concepts and practices. At least sixty-three of our teachers in Wakefield have earned 309 collegiate credits at various New England colleges during the past year. In addition they have attended conferences, participated in educational demonstrations, worked with outstanding leaders in education, and done many other interesting things to promote growth.

Democracy in Our Schools

Newspapers and radio commentators have been informing the Ameri- can public of the number of people within our midst who are willing to sell our freedom and security to countries with doctrine foreign to that of ours. We are confronted by dangerous and troublesome doctrine. Mil- lions of people in the world are being governed by leaders whose ideas are the opposite of ours. We must realize that these countries operate and maintain schools just as we do and through constant dictatorial procedures are training young minds to give unquestioned allegiance to the or- ders of their leaders. They are indoctrinated with a belief in the infalli- bility of authoritarian government. We in America, through its school program, have endeavored to develop citizens who can and will consider all the aspects of a problem and then come to wise decisions. Our way of life, which we have and enjoy, has developed because free-thinking men and women have decided it is most desirable. The schools must realize they are partly at fault when any one person who has attended our schools and who enjoys the privi- leges and opportunities of our American life expresses a belief in authoritarian rule. Some in America have expressed such a belief. Therefore, more and more stress must be placed upon citizenship education within our school program. In Wakefield, the schools have been emphasizing those things that contribute to a knowledge of our American heritage, a deep appreciation of democracy and its meaning, as well as an understanding of the peoples of other lands. It is hoped that as we intensify our efforts to improve the school curriculum, teachers, parents, and pupils may work out clearer statements of our educational objectives, content, and methods in order that our way of life may be assured and that it may be demonstrated that democracy really works and eventually all nations may live in harmony and peace. Democracy is a vital, living, practical way of life that should permeate every aspect of our school and community. It is not something to give lip service to but something you live, feel and experience. It is our hope that the boys and girls who attend the Wakefield schools will all reach their full statures in accordance with their individual interests, needs, and abilities and become useful and effective citizens. 58 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

Thrift has been encouraged through the efforts of our elementary principals. A plan has been in operation the past year which gave the children an opportunity to save regularly through the purchase of savings stamps. Through instruction in the general field of thrift they are learn- ing to save and how to spend wisely. It is significant to note that a total of $16,709.57 was saved by the children during 1952.

FROM THE REPORTS OF STAFF MEMBERS

The High School, Roland H. Kinder, Principal.

"By the retirement in June of our submaster, Arthur A. Fulton—the Wakefield High School has lost one of its most influential and respected faculty members. Mr. Fulton never promised more than he could produce, but he always delivered more than he promised. His sincere interest in the welfare of the students, his ready wit and his high standards have affected for the better the lives of thousands of boys and girls. We miss him a great deal but hope that he will always find satisfaction and peace in his new environment." "Mr. Donald White also retired in June. His thorough knowledge of history and government, his broad cultural background and his quick mind were factors in instructing and stimulating the hundreds of pupils who were members of his classes during his long service." The teachers in the English Department have worked faithfully to interest—not entertain—their pupils, and to give remedial help wherever and whenever possible. The favorable showing of the college preparatory pupils in entrance and placement examinations has been gratifying. The English curriculum is under a continued process of revision. When another English teacher is added to the department it would be very desirable to have one who is a specialist in the speech arts. The Senior Classbook of 1952, The Oracle, again received a first place honor rating from the Columbia University Press Association. The Look- out, published monthly, is now selling at the rate of 600 copies an issue. Both the Lookout and the Oracle are self-supporting. A large library of film strips has been built up in the Social Studies Department, and the attempt has been made to supply adequate wall maps and other aids. More than half of the seniors have elected either the course in American Government or that in Problems of Democracy. The science field has changed so rapidly in the last decade that considerable alertness is required to keep up to date. The Science Depart- ment has added much apparatus and equipment in the past two years, wall charts for all the science classes have been purchased, film strips have been used extensively, and sound films have been borrowed from many industrial concerns. Lack of proper storage space still remains a problem. The cost of maintaining boys' athletics has risen so much more rapidly than the income from the spectator sports that a subsidy is necessary if we are to remain in competition with our established rivals in athletics. The Sports Club conducts two general parties and the talent show an-

nually, and makes it possible for any student to attend all athletic events at a greatly reduced rate. 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 59

Continuing needs in the Guidance Department are clerical assistance and more room. At least one course in mathematics is required of all students. The work on the revision of the mathematics course of study is being continued. One of the highlights of the year for the Language Department was the exchange of students between Mexico City and Wakefield. Humberto Ibarra Salono, of Mexico City, spent several months as a student in the Wakefield High School, while Miss Betty Gibb spent the summer in Mexico City, with mutual benefits. We have the maximum number of classes — seven — in Mechanical Drawing. The High School cafeteria continues to operate at a loss. Mr. Barry and I strongly recommend the placing of the manager on the School De- partment payroll. The other solution seems to be an annual subsidy, since decreasing portions or increasing prices do not appear to be advisable. The Student Council again conducted the general elections in June and has run the canteens during the entire year. The Occupational Con- ferences were again held monthly as a part of the Guidance program. The Girls' Chorus, the Inter Nos Club, the Junior Forum which has been formed since September, the Senior Play, the Ski Club, student organizations, have all functioned successfully. More than 200 high schools in the state now have classroom instruction in automobile driving, with 150 of these offering behind-the-wheel training. It would seem that Wakefield should seriously consider such training, which could be given in the afternoons without interference with the regular instruction. Interest in the program in Shopwork continues to run high. The Commercial Department reports that employers are seeking our commercial graduates and that favorable comments are being received concerning our graduates who continue in other schools. The librarian gives instruction to Freshmen as part of their work in English on how to use the material there and how to proceed when doing reference work. The most important thing in any school is the day-to-day classroom work of its teachers. The results of their instruction, their guidance, their inspiration and their example are not readily assessed. In all secondary schools the greatest need is for master teachers. My hope is that we shall be in a position to attract them to Wakefield as vacancies in our faculty occur.

Guidance, Howard J. Heavens, Director

What is being done in the Guidance field in the Wakefield schools? When the under-age child takes the test for admission to school he is meeting guidance for the first time. As he advances through the grades guidance is being carried on by his classroom teacher, his principal, and primarily in reading, by Miss Lenk. Mental capacity, reading, achievement and vocational preference tests are given to him at intervals during his eight years in the elementary schools, and he receives some remedial services. A complete permanent record folder goes along with each pupil —

60 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

from grade to grade, and into the High School at the end of the eighth year. Each spring Mr. Kinder and I visit each eighth grade, including those at Saint Joseph's and Lynnfield, to explain the various courses that may be chosen by incoming Freshmen. The object of these visits is to acquaint the pupils with the High School offering, and to explain the vocational ends of each—in brief, to help the boys and girls to make wiser choices of their courses for the ninth year. In the high school the general aim is to try to help each student 1. To establish an objective, and 2. To attain that objective. The homeroom teacher is always available for suggestion, Miss Upham is responsible for questions of social aspect especially as they apply to girls, Mr. Barry looks after disciplinary breaches, while the Director de- votes his time to educational guidance and preparational needs for special objectives. To counsel intelligently it is necessary to know as much as one can of his client, and to have complete records on each individual. This information comes to us in the grade school permanent record folders. In high school two sets of records are kept. The class and subject records are kept on the cards in the office, and are available to any of the teachers in the school. The standardized test records, extracurricular activities, work history, and all bits of other information are kept on the test record sheets in my office. They are only available to me to be divulged only at my discretion. The bulk of the standardized tests are given through the Boston Uni- versity Battery. The students are tested in the 9th and 11th years. They include mental maturity, reading comprehension, English fundamentals, mathematics fundamentals, spatial relations, clerical aptitudes, and an interest inventory. Boston University furnishes the tests, part of the administration, the machine scoring, and the percentile tabulation on the basis of class and New England norms. These results are indispensable adjuncts to intelligent counselling. The cost to us is on so much a head and is quite reasonable. Tests for individual fill-ins are administered and corrected by me. Occupational information is dispersed to the students by current pamphlets and books in our library, and in my office. But the bulk of that is more effectively done by occupational conferences held each month. Eighteen conferences dealing with occupational information are held in fields varying from the professional level of medicine, engineering, and the arts to the semi-skilled levels in industry, mechanical, and office. The responsibility for job placement is divided between Miss Clifford and me. Miss Clifford advises and contacts for girls in the Commercial Department for clerical and secretarial positions. All others come to me, those who desire further training of any sort and those who want work in any field. Neither Miss Clifford nor I actually get the jobs but furnish leads and make contacts. We have had no trouble in placing all who are qualified, and many who are not. My time is quite completely filled with meeting outside representatives, parents, and counselling with students. The work in filling out transcripts and recommendations is a time consuming job. But, I do not 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 61 know anyone in the school who has greater access to information nor who is in a better position to know more about all the students than I. Con- sequently this latter job is unreasonable to delegate to anyone else, and I feel, by making careful and complete descriptions on recommendation and transcripts, Wakefield High School is gaining much greater confidence of the business, school, and college admittance officers. The record of placements of the Class of 1952 follows the general pat- tern set by the last five classes with one noticeable and understandable exception. The number going into the Service is sharply increasing with a corresponding drop in those accepting trade positions. The Guidance Department is asked to make a report on "Drop-outs" each year. And so each person who leaves school must be interviewed by me before he leaves. Our losses are not too great percentage-wise, nor in quality at least in terms with what we have to offer. And then it is my job to welcome each newcomer to the school, straighten out his school program, introduce him (or her) to some of the pupils of his own age, and to get him generally settled in his new school. The pupils I have called on from time to time for help enthusiastically endorse this custom.

To carry out the aims given above, the student is tested for ability and aptitude, he is given authentic information concerning many different fields, he is kept abreast of the changing labor market, careful records are kept of his progress in school, and checks are made of his success in his work after graduation.

Elizabeth V. Upham, Dean of Girls. The dean of girls attempts to be a person in whom the girls can con- fide and from whom they can expect understanding. She acts as a liaison between the parents, the town and the school, being readily accessible at all times to both parents and students seeking counsel and guidance. She is attentive to the moral and social needs of the school, and uses all opportunities to suggest correction whenever and wherever necessary, always working on the philosophy that the students really desire to know and to do what is right.

The dean acts as advisor and chaperon for all classes, and is responsible for correct conduct at the social activities which she supervises. Her objectives are to have the students take the initiative, to feel that they are mature individuals, to plan and execute projects, and to be ultimately responsible for the results of their efforts. She is the consultant-supervisor of the Inter Nos Club. She helps to make necessary adjustments for girls with special emotional or health problems. She maintains a school publicity book, as well as a card file for job applications. She conducts a course for Freshmen called "Living with Others," where the aim is to guide students to learn proper social behavior and to make satisfactory adjustments to life situations. In all her work the dean attempts to maintain as many pleasant contacts as possible, despite the fact that part of her work involves disciplin- ing. She tries to have a feeling of genuine interest in the welfare of each individual girl, and to know all she possibly can about each girl's per- sonality, health and emotional problems, academic and social strengths and weaknesses, work experiences, plans and aspirations. Her ultimate aim is to develop the student as a mature, responsible person. 62 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

Cafeterias, Gerard G. Barry, Supervisor.

During the past school year the cafeteria ran at an operating loss of $212.94. We cannot continue to lose money at this rate. So far this year we are operating at a loss. We have kept our prices as low as possible, although food prices continue to rise. Our adult and student payrolls are as low as possible. One solution, which I strongly recommend, is that of placing the manager on the School Department payroll. This would mean the difference between a loss each year and a comfortable working margin.

From the Reports of the Supervising Principals.

Because of the increased enrollment at the Hurd and Warren Schools

it was necessary to put grades 4, 5 and 6 at both schools on double sessions in September. This meant that the children in these grades lost one hour's time in school each day. This change was accomplished with a minimum

of disturbance for all concerned, and it is felt that the basic fundamentals have been well taught. With the opening of the new Dolbeare and Walton Schools in the Fall of 1953 these double sessions can be discontinued. The enrollment at Greenwood continues to increase also. There were 496 pupils in 1951, there are 528 in 1952, and the estimate for 1953 is 568. With 18 classrooms in this building, the time is not far distant when there will be only six grades here, with three classes to each grade. The Parent-Teacher Associations have been active at all the schools. The Association at Lincoln purchased a motion picture machine. The one at Franklin has sponsored the 7th and 8th grade evening dance program. At Montrose a highly successful minstrel show, in which parents, teachers and pupils participated, was held. Regular and well-attended meetings have been held by all Associations. The December Bazaar at Greenwood was extremely well patronized.

Gradually a fair-sized filmstrip library is being built up for all schools. Tape recorders would greatly facilitate the work in speech, language and music. During the Summer fluorescent lighting was installed in all the classrooms at the Warren and Lincoln Schools. This is the beginning of a long- range program which is hoped will eventually extend to all schools, for inadequate lighting is one of our major problems.

The attempt is being made at all schools to replace the old non- ad- justable desks and chairs. Also a beginning was made in the installation of asphalt tile floors at the Lincoln School where the floors are particularly bad.

There is increasing criticism and complaint relative to the surface of the play areas at all schools. Continued efforts should be made to secure some sort of a hard surface for all playgrounds. We were fortunate in the teachers who began work in the Wakefield schools in September. They have fitted into our system well and are doing good work. Unfortunately, however, we lose, for one reason or another, a number of good teachers each year. Good work is being done in the classrooms of Wakefield, and those parents who are familiar with it seem to be well satisfied. —

Elizabeth P. Lenk, Elementary Consultant

The work of the Elementary Consultant during the past year has included the following:

1. Teachers' demonstrations and conferences, with the particular aim of acquainting the new teachers with the general aims and procedures in Wakefield, and of offering special help in the fields where it seems to be needed most. •2. Classroom visits, with each school visited weekly, and demonstration lessons given for new teachers.

3. Continuing the testing program, using Reading Readiness, Mental Capacity, Word Recognition, and Achievement tests. 4. Rendering remedial services, with diagnostic test, conferences with teachers and parents, supplying materials, arranging private tutor- ing, and following up on the more serious problems of individual children. 5. Conducting the Pre-School Evaluation tests. This past year 147 underage children were admitted to school as a result of the tests, while 26 were not accepted. 6. Serving as chairman of the Science Committee to select texts for science in the schools. 7. Setting up the program for the observance of Book Week in the schools.

. 8. Attempting, by means of demonstrations, to show parents how reading is being taught today. Looking into the future, these are some of our objectives. 1. More creative teaching. 2. Organization of study groups around problems selected by the elementary teachers. 3. A fall work shop for new teachers. 4. A better understanding of the work in the different grades and the relationship among grades. 5. Closer integration of supervisors. 6. Wider use of visual aids. 7. A greater utilization of community resources. 8. A remedial reading teacher.

FROM THE REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORS

Grace A. Jenkins, Art

The program in art education for all the grades is directed toward the following objectives

1. To develop a growing appreciation of beauty in all things. 2. To stimulate the desire to create. 3. To afford many opportunities for experimentation, exploration and actual manipulation of various materials. 4. To give an understanding of such art principles as order, sim- plicity, balance, emphasis, repetition and rhythm; and the correct use of such art elements as perspective, line, form, color harmony and texture. — —

64 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

5. To develop good taste in art. 6. To relate art to the school, home and community. 7. To afford a recreational recourse and foundation for art needs in later life. Modeling with clay, finger painting, soap carving, spatter work, making posters, painting of scenery and murals, interesting illustration with colored chalk on the blackboards, these are some of the things which are done in an attempt to attain the objectives.

Joseph H. Fanck, Director of Instrumental Music

This past year there were 54 members in the High School band, and 22 members in the High School orchestra. The band played at all the football games, participated in the Memorial Day, Flag Day and Election Day parades, took part in the Massachusetts Music Festival, and, with the orchestra, gave the annual concert in April. The orchestra played for the Senior Play and for several assemblies. Both organizations have rehearsed three times weekly during the year. The Junior Band and the Junior Orchestra, composed of pupils from the elementary schools, have also been active. These organizations also took part in the annual concert.

Martin S. Tarlaian, Music

The attempt is being made by the music supervisor to stimulate general interest in musical activity, singing, playing, or just listening, an interest which will last throughout the students' lives. Music aptitude tests have been given to those pupils in the fifth through the eighth grades who have shown an interest in musical instrumental study, but, as in the past, the supply of instruments available is inadequate to meet the demand. Assistance is given to classroom teachers who need help, and demonstrations and consultations with teachers have been frequent. Below are some of the additions to the music department which would prove helpful

1. Rhythm instruments for students to achieve muscular control which gives a background for later instruction. 2. A large number of record players for classroom use. 3. A tape recorder more fully to develop an enriched program to enable the students to hear themselves.

Raymond S. Dower, Penmanship. Mr. Dower makes the following points about left-handed writers

1. In Wakefield all children are taught to keep the hand below the line of writing. 2. A child can learn to write with either hand without any mental disturbance, if he would like to and if no coercion is used.

3. No attempt is made to change left-handed writers to right-handed writers unless the parent requests it.

4. Incorrect posture and holding of the pencil have been developed in many cases before the children reach the first grade, which makes the teacher's task doubly difficult, as left-handed children are more difficult to adjust. CHARLES J. PETERSON

1878 - 1952

Principal, High School, 1919-1947

"An able administrator and a wise counsellor. A man who combined a capacity for organization with great understanding and sympathy. The reputation of this school is a monument to his unremitting efforts."

Health

Dr. Szydlowski reports that 1184 complete physical examinations were given during the year, with 687 defects being noted as follows:

302 needed dental work 81 needed throat attention 53 had wax in ear canals 6 showed eye defects 6 showed speech defects 11 heart conditions were found 11 had high blood pressure 3 had chest deformities 12 had skin conditions 16 had flat feet 14 had bad posture 18 had enlarged neck glands 65 were underweight 53 were overweight 25 were not vaccinated successfully 5 had varicoceles 6 had hernias

There is a follow-up on these defects by the school nurses, and the children are again seen by the school physician periodically to check the specific defect. This was the first year when the parents were invited to attend the examination of their children, and 81 mothers took advantage of the opportunity to do so. Mrs. Adams has taken care of 1935 visits to the health rooms at the High and Woodville Schools, and has given hearing and vision tests to the 7th, 9th and 11th grades. Approximately 600 High School students were X-rayed in October when the Mobile Unit was in Wakefield. Mrs. O'Brien has made a total of 308 house visits following up various illnesses and defects. She has given the hearing and vision tests to the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th grades. Both Mrs. Adams and Mrs. O'Brien attended the clinic for crippled children at Salem. Some cases have been referred to the Rheumatic Fever Clinic and to the Children's Hospital.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF ATTENDANCE

Home Contacts 811. Truants—76. Checked mileage for transportation tickets—67. Conducted school census, public and private, as of October 1, 1952. Checked on students transferring here from out of town. Collected school and library books in public places and from homes. Attended annual convention of National League to Promote School Attendance at Boston, October 27-30, 1952. Brought sick children to their homes. Attended to state requirements on applications for Home Teaching. 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 67

Provided necessities of life for needy families from local service fund. Contacted the Lynnfield Schools, St. Joseph's School, Nazareth Academy and Trade Schools in various school matters. Made Annual Survey of all pre-school children in Wakefield.

PER PUPIL COST

Cost per pupil for instruction and maintenance, exclusive of general control, based on average membership for the school year 1951-1952: Wakefield State High School $ 279.69 $ 290.30 Elementary 174.58 187.90 All Public Schools 214.39 234.80 NET COST OP SCHOOLS Expenditures $724,992.98 Receipts through the Department 157,742.86

Net cost from local taxation $567,250.12

Wakefield schools have a good reputation in the state and are taught by the best teachers we can secure within the budget on which we operate. A glance at the per pupil costs above reveals that we are operating below the average cost in the state. We believe that our schools are operated efficiently and economically, and we believe the people in this community are getting value received for the amount they are investing in their schools each year. In conclusion, I would like to pay tribute to all who have had a part in advancing the cause of education in this community. People are interested in their children and through the Parent-Teachers Associations have given loyal support. Town officials and members of the Finance Committee have been sympathetic and understanding of our building and budgetary needs You, as members of the School Committee, have given most generously of your thought and time. To all, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for your support, consideration, and encouragement.

Respectfully submitted, JOHN B. HENDERSHOT 68 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

IN MEMORIAM

BLANCHE L. MESERVE

1892 - 1952

Miss Meserve came to Wakefield in January of 1917 and was assigned to the first grade at the Lincoln School. At that time she probably had no idea that she was to spend the remaining thirty-five years of her life in the same grade and in the same school. In September of each of those thirty-five years she greeted in her warm, gracious and friendly manner a new group of youngsters who were just starting school. She loved them all, individually and collectively, and it was not long before they in turn loved her. Fortunate indeed were those boys and girls who were in Miss

Meserve 's first grade. Hers was the joy of watching the progress of "her" first graders: as they completed the eighth grades at the Lincoln School and entered High School; as they finished their work at High School and entered another phase of their lives; as they married and had children of their own who became her pupils. Miss Meserve was never a "teacher." To her teaching was a profession: one which demanded, and received, her best; a highly- rewarding one; and one in which she excelled. There were never any regrets that she had chosen it for her life work. The Wakefield Public Schools are poorer because of her passing. The School Committee, the administration, her fellow teachers and literally hundreds of her former pupils will miss her, but can still be grateful that she was a teacher in Wakefield for thirty-five years.

RETIREMENTS

During 1952 the following teachers retired from service in the Wake- field public schools. Mary E. C. Geagan, a graduate of Salem State Teachers College, came to Wakefield in January of 1907, and, until her retirement in June, was a teacher in the Warren School. Bernice E. Hendrickson, also a graduate of Salem State Teachers Col- lege, served continuously as a teacher at the Lincoln School from February, 1908, until November 1952. Arthur A. Fulton, graduate of Northampton Commercial College and Blackstone Institute, was head of the commercial department, teacher and submaster in the Wakefield High School—except for a brief period in the service of his country—from 1915 to 1952. Donald White, graduate of Harvard, was, except for a short time while he was in the army, and a second brief time in his own business, a teacher in the Wakefield High School from 1918 to 1952. These four teachers gave approximately 160 years of devoted service to the education of the youth of this town. Each of them had a sound educational background, but of far greater importance were their ability to arouse an interest in, and to impart, their knowledge, and their genuine liking for young people. It is impossible to estimate the influence which they have had upon the lives of countless boys and girls who have been in their classes. The School Committee and the administration are glad to pay this wholly inadequate tribute to their service, and to wish for them many happy years as they rest upon their laurels and live quieter, although not more rewarding, years.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE LUCIUS BEEBE MEMORIAL LIBRARY FOR THE YEAR NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO

The Trustees of the Lucius Beebe Memorial Library herewith submit the ninety-seventh annual report.

The Library has endeavored this past year to maintain the usual good service to the people of Wakefield in spite of the difficult year of administration for both the Staff and Trustees. Early in the year it was realized that arrangements must be made to carry on the work for an indefinite period under the Assistant Librarian, Miss H. Gladys Mackenzie, during the serious illness of the Head Librarian. Miss Helen Frances Carleton passed away on March 7, 1952. Miss Carleton served as Head Librarian for nearly twenty-seven years following her appointment in June 1925. The Library was her first interest, and under her administration it grew both in the number of volumes and circulation. The library work was departmentalized and the number of staff workers was increased. Her prime aim was that the Library should serve the community. Her interest in all town affairs, and her membership in many professional, church and social clubs and organizations was evidence of her desire that the library should be an integral part of the community. At the request of the family, memorial gifts were sent to the Library to establish the Helen Frances Carleton Memorial Fund. This fund, which is now a little over one thousand dollars ($1,000), was contributed by clubs and organizations, friends, relatives, the Library Staff and Trustees. After several weeks of contacts with prospective Head Librarians, in- terviews were held, and Mr. Asbury W. Schley was appointed to the position of Head Librarian to take effect on August 15, 1952. Mr. Schley's educational background includes Phillips Exeter Academy, Harvard Univer- sity, University of Paris and Simmons College School of Library Science. He has had several years of experience in the book trade and various phases of Library work. We anticipate his work will prove of great value to the Library and the town. Nearly every department of the Library has shown an increased volume of business either in circulation or service rendered. There have been 1,154 new borrowers registered this year. There are now 84,481 volumes in the Library, which include 2,996 books catalogued during the year. To fill the large demand for periodicals several new magazines were purchased, which brings the total to 251 periodicals provided for all the Libraries either by gift or subscription. The 24,872 pictures in the Picture Collection continue to have a large circulation. The increase of 487 pictures borrowed showed a total use of 17,109 pictures. The growth in the Juvenile circulation, both at the Main Library and the Montrose Branch, shows the children of Wakefield are reading. The increased number of schoolrooms has meant a larger number of school deposits. The total school circulation is 18,056 which is a gain of 1,311. Work with the schools is continued by interesting the children through visits to the class rooms by the librarians who tell stories and stimulate reading, and also by visits of classes to the Libraries. At the Main Library 23 classes have visited, and 11 of these have received instruction in the use of the Library and catalogue. Similar work is carried on at the Branch 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 93

Libraries. Five Scout Troops and five kindergartens have also visited the Library for observation and stories. A "Summer Sail" interested 400 children in reading during the vaca- tion period, and at the conclusion 200 children were shown moving pictures. There have been 32 story hours held for pre-school children with an average attendance of 45, while the older children have averaged 46 at 17 story hours. Book deposits have been sent to the Girl Scout Day Camp, the Boit Home, and three new deposits have been sent to the two Fire Stations and the Police Station. The Main Library and the Greenwood and Montrose Branches have done a steadily increasing amount of reference work, particularly with Junior and Senior High pupils. At the Main Library alone reference questions answered average 360 per month, and often a total of over 500 questions in a single month. The added reference work with the school pupils has created a crowded condition at all of the Libraries, which in turn has caused a discipline problem. Although this is now being controlled, it is felt that such a condition exists, particularly at the Main Library and that some definite changes must be made to relieve the situation. Hence, it is hoped, before another year passes we may have a Youth Room for reading, studying and reference at the Main Library. This will not only make better use of the rooms available for library work, but at the same time will make The Reading Room available to students and adults for research and reading, as originally intended. All the libraries and departments have arranged displays of books and material suitable to seasons and current interests. Seven different displays from our Art Collection have been exhibited in the Balcony. In the Lecture Hall Mr. Joseph H. Fanck has shown his paintings and Mrs. Robert V. Campbell displayed and demonstrated hooked rugs. In connection with United Nations Week, the Library had an educational program on two evenings, showing films and providing recorded music of United Nations countries.

A microfilm reader was purchased in the fall and with the co-operation of the Wakefield Daily Item, arrangements have been made to microfilm early issues and recent copies of the "Item." Over a period of time it is planned to microfilm all "Items" on file. This process will not only preserve the newspaper records, but will also release a large amount of storage space.

There has been some re-arranging of library facilities this year. The pamphlet file and indexes have been moved to the Reading Room where with other material they will be more accessible for reference work. A desk for the circulation librarian has been placed in the main lobby, and the file of music records has been moved to the upper floor.

This fall, under the direction of the new librarian, changes in library procedures have been made. Many new books now wear plastic covers, the borrower's card has been changed to an identification card, and new overdue postal cards, and gift acknowledgment forms have been printed. In the office, budget account and central supply order systems have been set up. 94 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD

Several physical changes have taken place to keep our beautiful building in good condition. Painting, upholstering, plumbing repairs and general maintenance have been done. At Montrose we found it necessary to change the lighting and make general improvements. Many people have shown their interest in the library through the medium of gifts. Through the generosity of the Diamond Manufacturing Company, who donated a booth, the Library was able to participate in the Pageant of Progress sponsored by the local Lions' Club. Appreciated gifts of flowers were received from the Wakefield Garden Club and the Col. James Hartshorne House Association, and the Christmas decorations donated by Mrs. Albert W. Rockwood and Mr. Lucius M. Beebe. The Trus- tees appreciate the generous gift of space in the Wakefield Daily Item for monthly book lists and special articles. We express our gratitude to the shop of the High School Industrial Arts Department for the making of several book cases, and to the Wakefield Trust Company for a large number of printed bookmarks. Because of the crowded school conditions the Trustees were glad to grant the request of the School Committee to use the Montrose Library Building for one of the first grade classes. During the summer the Library was again closed on Saturdays. Due

to a change in school schedules it was necessary to rearrange the available hours of the Children's Room. Many of the Staff members have attended library association meetings. In June, the Pioneer Round Table of Children's Librarians was held at this library. Trustees have attended meetings of the newly formed Massachusetts Library Trustees Association. Although Staff vacancies have occurred, as we enter another year all positions have been filled. The Trustees appreciate the efficient work of several librarians who were employed part-time to assist through a trying period. To the head of each department and regular staff assistants the Trustees express their sincere appreciation of their loyal service, evident through months of difficult conditions.

Report of the Municipal Light Board

January 2, 1953

To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield

We submit for your consideration the fifty-ninth annual report of the Municipal Light Board for the year ending December 31, 1952. The net profit of the Department was $101,130.89 as compared to $33,- 652.14 in 1951. The Sale of Gas increased 1% and Electricity 21%%. The balance in the Operating Fund was $95,503.32 as compared to $22,617.77 in 1951. The sum of $22,617.77 was paid to the Town to be used in computing the tax rate for 1952. The total amount paid to the Town is $548,229.57. In view of the unusually large expenditures for 1953; for Substation equipment; for electrical contracting at the station and the third high tension line from Edison, we are recommending, for this year, a return to the Town Treasury of $15,503.32 and a transfer of the remainder of the Operat- ing balance to our Construction Fund. The Manager's report, including financial statements for the year are included in this report.

Respectfully submitted, MARCUS BEEBE, 2nd, Chairman JAMES B. WISWALL, Secretary JOHN MORLEY

To the Board of Light Commissioners:

Gentlemen:

The following condensed Profit and Loss Statement shows the financial operations of the Department for the year ending December 31, 1952 and the changes from the previous year. Sales of Gas and Electricity $840,701.74 Increase $114,080.63 Cost of Gas and Electricity 428,203.74 Increase 20,787.10

100 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

During the year the Electric Department installed 42,550 feet of primary wire 18,223 feet of secondary wire 167 new services 87 poles and the Gas Department 2,744 feet of gas mains 4,215 feet of service pipe 87 new services At the end of the year there were 4651 gas meters and 6638 electric meters in use, which is a decrease of 58 gas meters and an increase of 170 electric meters. Conversion to Natural gas was completed in April and through the efforts of our men, and men from Maiden Gas Co., the actual change- over from manufactured to natural gas was accomplished in one day. Following the change-over, several hundred men from Conversions and Surveys, Inc., called at every residence and business establishment in Town where there were gas appliances and made the adjustments necessary to enable the customer to burn the natural gas. All of our customers were notified of the conversion program through the press and by letter and we feel that it was accomplished with a minimum of trouble and con- fusion. The conversion cost the Department $93,878.47 and in accordance with the recommendation of the Department of Public Utilities, will be amortized over ten years. Natural gas has not proved to be as profitable as was anticipated, principally due to the large increase in unaccounted for gas. It dries out cast iron pipe joints and in many cases causes the meters to run slow, thereby increasing our gas loss. We have done considerable work on our system to correct this condition. We had a vegetation survey made by an expert, in an effort to detect gas line leaks. We replaced approximately 2400 feet of old 6" cast iron main on Elm St., and have clamped many cast iron joints throughout our system. We are also treating the cast iron mains with an oil which is calculated to seal the joints and prevent leakage. Our electric load continues to increase rapidly and the 1952 peak was nearly 11% over last year. To provide for the increased load, we placed an order early in the year for new switchgear and a new 5000 KVA transformer for the Substation. We expect to receive the switchgear in the Summer of 1953 and the transformer later in the year, at a total cost of $76,000.00. The extensive electrical work at the station preparatory to installation of this equipment is now in process. All of the electrical contracting and material on the Substation project will cost approximately $30,000.00 in addition to the switchgear and transformer. Our load has increased to a point where it is necessary for Boston Edison Co. to provide an additional high tension, 13,800 volt underground line from Woburn to our Substation. This line will be installed during 1953 and the cost from the Stoneham line to our Substation, approximately $37,000.00, will be paid by this Department. Increased costs over the years and the heavy expenditures with which we are faced necessitated an increase in the electric rates which was effective in January of this year". At the time, we realized the need for an 141ST ANNUAL REPORT 101

up-to-date electric water heating rate and in March, established an off- peak electric hot water rate. We ran 10,000 feet of larger cable on No. 6 circuit, to the Montrose section, to provide for the greatly increased load in that area. Most of our increase is occurring in the North Ward and Montrose section and will necessitate further changes in those circuits. We continued our mercury vapor lights in Wakefield Square to take care of the intersections at Lafayette St. and at Crescent St. Mercury lights were installed at some of the busy intersections in Town and im- proved lighting was provided at three of the voting places. This year a project was started to improve and modernize the lighting on Main St., Greenwood. In order to make it as inexpensive as possible and to utilize our present installations, we are using an aluminum extension which was designed to fit over the top of our existing light pedestals. This will raise the light center to 25 feet and will distribute the light more effectively on the street, using the same size lamp. We purchased 20 of these extensions in 1952 and hope to continue the project, on a modest scale each year until we can complete it. Some have been installed and after painting the lower pedestal aluminum it is an attractive and efficient light at about 1/3 of the cost of a completely new installation. Financial Statements follow:
