New Schools
In September the Claypit Hill and Loker schools opened to receive 385 and 275 pupils respectively. Excellent cooperation between the Town, School Building Committee and School Committee made this move possible. The Town is to be congratulated on its foresightedness in pro- viding sufficient classrooms for its children. The four elementary schools now in use contain 52 regular classrooms, along with special facilities; .Cochituate 12 rooms, Happy Hollow 12 rooms, Claypit Hill 14 rooms and Loker 14 rooms. At present only one room is not in use.
The opening of Claypit Hill and Loker schools made it possible to release Center School to the High School, now known as the High School Annex. The Annex provides 8 good classrooms and a cafeteria for the rapidly expanding high school population. This year four classrooms and the cafeteria are in use in the Annex. Next September plans call for complete utilization of the Annex by the High School.
Mathematics and Science
Each day the population of our country is bombarded by all means of mass communication concerning the need to improve mathematic and science instruction, and since the advent of Sputnik last October the mathematics and science curricula in the country's schools have undergone critical analysis by every conceivable agency of society.
The Superintendent is proud to report that in the fall of 1956 two study committees were established to make a careful analysis of the mathematic and science offerings in our High School. The committees were composed of the math and science teachers and citizens from the Town selected because of their interest in the schools and their profes- sional competence in mathematics and science in research, industry, and higher education. These two committees made a searching examination of the courses offered in the High School in the two areas and reported their findings directly to the School Committee in an open meeting last spring.
Both committees had high praise for the quality of mathmatic and science courses and the teachers involved. Working cooperatively the lay people and the faculty agreed upon recommendations for advancing the progress of these studies in our High School. This year's budget contains funds for expediting some of the recommendations. The faculty has been putting other recommendations into effect during the course of the school year and will continue to develop the teaching of mathematics and science along lines designed to prepare students to meet top com- petition from students from any high school when they enter college.
One significant development is the plan to begin biology in the ninth grade next September for a portion of the students. An advanced course in science will be offered the following year in addition to the courses in chemistry and physics now offered in grades eleven and twelve.
A committee of elementary school teachers made a study of arith- metic in grades one through six and drew up a new course of studies which went into effect last September. It is planned to review the arith- metic program again next year to determine its effectiveness.

Library
The use of library books and materials has become extremely important in our educational program. Students are encouraged to do a great deal of reading. The School Committee's backing for the library program has been welcomed by teachers as one of the best means of encouraging and stimulating the better student.
A staff committee made a thorough study of library facilities and reported to the School Committee in the spring. This report was also made available to the Library Trustees and the Finance Committee. The Superintendent urges that emphasis on the development of school libraries and materials be continued.
At the present time the High School library, which is only in its third year of development, is undergoing a transition in order to make books more readily available to students at all times. In time there should be better coordination of the school and town libraries, but at the moment the needs of both libraries are so great as to assure full value for all sums appropriated for either.
Planning For New High School
Planning for the new high school began with the High School faculty more than a year ago. Each department prepared educational specifications and needs as seen by the teachers. A considerable amount of future planning and review of curriculum went into this work. The information has been made available to the School Building Committee and its Educational Consultants for consideration.
Physical Education came under consideration by a committee of teachers and lay people as part of preliminary thinking for the pro- posed new school. The results of the study submitted to the School Committee last spring contain an excellent outline for physical educa- tion for all our high school students. It is desirable for every boy and girl to have opportunities for physical development and competitive sports, for physical energy and the drive needed in competitive sports is also needed in practically every area of human endeavor.
Our Graduates to College
The High School Class of 1957 graduated 26 boys and 17 girls. Sixty-five percent of the class applied for education beyond the High School, and each graduate who did was admitted to a college or advanced school, in most cases to the school of his or her choice, including some of the nation's major universities and colleges.
More of our graduates are college-bound each year. The table below illustrates the trend toward high education.

It is possible that in the immediate years ahead that at least eighty- five percent of the graduates will be seeking education beyond High School. Of necessity the trend of development in your school system is increasingly oriented toward the college bound student. However, we are taking pains to meet the needs of the terminal student.
The Superintendent is pleased to submit this brief report on the condition of our schools. He believes that substantial progress has been made in the quality of education since his last report to you. He is confident that the future outlook for our schools is extremely bright as long as the people of Wayland continue to believe in the necessity for education of the highest quality and back up their beliefs with hard work and financial support.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD J. ANDERSON, Superintendent.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN - 1958
Mr. Thomas F. Linnehan, Millbrook Road, Wayland, Mass., was re-elected to the Board of Selectmen at the Annual Election in March, 1958. The Board organized as follows for the year 1958: John R. McEnroy, Chairman; Frank S. Tarr, Clerk; and Thomas F. Linnehan, as the third member.
Mr. Frank W. Kilburn was re-appointed Town Counsel.
All appointments required by statute and Town By-Laws were made, and list of same appears in the roster of Town Officers and Committees.
It was voted that Mr. Linnehan continue as a member of the Com- mittee on Town Government and Mr. McEnroy serve on the Committee to study the traffic situation in Wayland.
The Allen Fund Trustees with the Board of Welfare met with the Board of Selectmen and distributed the income of the various Charity Funds as held by the Town.
On February 23, 1958, a snowy Sunday, the new Wayland Town Building was officially dedicated with proper ceremonies.
The program of acquiring sub-standard property has been accel- erated during 1958 in order that it may be brought to an earlier con- clusion.
The new section of Stonebridge Road was completed by the State, and arrangements will be made to accept it at the March, 1959, Town Meeting.
The Jury list was drawn and listed before July 1st as required by law.
At the scheduled meetings, held on the first and third Mondays of each month, all bills were approved and various undertakings were discussed.
Insurance, for Town Employees, under Chapter 32B of the General Laws, as voted by the Town in March, after a careful study, was put into effect on October 1st, 1958. Boston Mutual Insurance Co. were the successful bidders, on the Life section; and Blue Cross-Blue Shield were awarded the Medical section.
Because of the lack of facilities for the School Superintendent, in the High School, it was voted to allow the Superintendent and his staff to use rooms in the Town Building until quarters could be found for him in the Schools.
It was the thinking of the majority of the Board, that the Com- munications of the Police and Fire Departments, could be more effi- ciently handled from the Fire Ready Room. With this thought in mind, the communications were moved to the Fire Ready Room in July.
Traffic in Wayland Square continues to be a problem, morning and evening. To attempt to remedy this, the Board voted to have a Police Officer direct traffic in Wayland Square, two hours in the morning and
8
from four o'clock until six o'clock in the evening. To help get a decision on the By-pass, the Board of Selectmen inserted an article into the war- rant of a Special Town Meeting, held in December, to create a By-Pass Committee. This article was passed, and it is hoped that some early action will be taken.
Many special meetings were held throughout the year in an effort to dispose of the many problems that face a Town growing at the rate Wayland is.
All money collected for licenses has been turned over to the Collector.
The Board of Selectmen wish to thank the various Boards and Committees, and all Town Employees who have graciously cooperated with them during 1958.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN R. McENROY, Chairman FRANK S. TARR, Clerk THOMAS F. LINNEHAN Board of Selectmen.
