ANNUAL REPORT
class we have sought to develop those skills that our boys will so greatly need. The school will seize upon any opportunity to further this work. Our boys now in service report that our program of testing of mental achievement, begun in 1942, has been a decided help to them in the testing program of the Armed Forces. Each pupil in our school has now completed five such tests.
Under the direction of the Local Chapter of the National Red Cross a course in Home Nursing is now required of all girls in the Junior and Senior Classes. This class is being ably conducted by Mrs. Sidney Maddocks, our school nurse.
Educational leaders have spent much time and. thought upon post-war education. The hope of peace in the world must be based on education. That education must have its start in every city and town of our country. The time has come for the citizens of Plainville to begin thinking of the type of education we shall be able to offer to the adults, as well as the returning veterans, and children of our town in the years to come. This means a complete appraisal of our physical plant, as well as the educational aims. If this is well done, then we can be assured of having done our part in bringing peace and prosperity to our country for years to come.
The faculty of Plainville Junior and Senior High School greatly appreciate, Mr. Laurence Nourse, your competent leadership and understanding, and willing and untiring co- operation of the School Committee in the many and complex problems of wartime years.
PRIMARY SCHOOL
Miss Beatrice H. Wood, Principal
It is with great pleasure that I submit my second annual report on the activities and achievements of the Primary School.

ANNUAL REPORT
Once again the pupils have established an enviable record in their weekly purchase of War Savings Stamps. In the period from January 1, 1944 to the close of school in June they contributed enough to buy a second original jeep, and also a life float. For this they were awarded a special citation by the United States Treasury. During the first four months of the fall term they maintained their high standard, more than 90 per cent. of the children purchasing stamps each month, enabling them to fly the Minute Man Flag continuously. The award for this was a copy of the Bill of Rights.
In June, the Glee Club presented an operetta "Dream Bags" under the direction of Miss Esther Boyden and Mrs. Harriet Washburn. This presentation proved conclusively the value of such a club in the primary grades.
Clubs were started again in the fall, because they were so successful and so much enjoyed by the children the previous year. Again the groups consisted of a Glee Club, a program of Games and Folk Dances, a Story-Telling Hour, and a Handcraft Club.
Our annual exhibition took the form of an Open House, when the parents were invited to visit the school in the evening, examine samples of the work and confer with the teachers on pupil progress. The large number of parents who availed themselves of this opportunity showed that it was most worth while.
During National Education Week a special reading pro- gram was presented. Each grade was assigned a certain period in which to demonstrate the type of reading activities carried on in that grade. The visitors progressed from room to room, noting the development in reading made each year. Much interest was shown in this most essential subject.
A Safety Patrol was organized and the members were awarded white Safety Patrol belts-the badge of their office. It has been gratifying to note the pride in responsibility shown by the patrol officers, and the ready response of the other children in carrying out the rules.
81
ANNUAL REPORT
The teachers in the Primary School-and the pupils also- have missed the excellent supervision and inspiration pro- vided by Mrs. Washburn, our music supervisor who resigned at the close of the school year. However, it has been our aim to try for her high standards in the teaching of music.
Now, to you, Mr. Nourse, may I express my appreciation, and that of the other teachers, for your understanding and patience, and to the members of the School Committee for their unfailing interest and cooperation.
ART
Mrs. Rowena B. Rice, Supervisor
"Art is all around you. It is in the clothes you wear, in the rooms you live in and the way you comb your hair. It is a living thing," which I am endeavoring to instil into the every day experiences of the children-
The advanced High School Art class which continues to be filled to capacity completed problems in life drawing in color, studies of protective coloring in nature which lead to camouflage of factories, roads, uniforms, airports pertaining to the war in water color, still life groups in poster colors, outdoor sketching of streets, building, gardens and trees in pencil, crayon, charcoal, portrait studies of one another in the group, also some beautiful paintings in water color of enlarged flowers. War loan posters were made in all art classes.
The first year art group studied various styles of lettering, modern poster, old English, Roman capitals, pen and ink. Compositions were well done, self portraits, outdoor sketching, and a large individual painting on mural paper with each pupil choosing his own subject and finishing in poster colors.
The cover for the school report was designed and sten- ciled by Ethel Dodge.

ANNUAL REPORT
The work in the first year and advanced group in Mechanical drawing has progressed as usual. Pupils are very much interested and often report how helpful it is to them in work outside of school.
Posters for the "Be Kind to Animal Contest" were sub- mitted and the following won prizes:
Jerry DesJardins, First Rosemary Caron, Second Patricia Davis, Honorable Mention
A student from Massachusetts School of Art was sent to Plainville the last term to observe our methods of teaching art. Miss Nye visited our schools at the end of the term and seemed delighted with the students' observation and progress. She asked if she could send another student this year.
SCHOOL PHYSICIAN Dr. John T. Cotter
The following is the report on the examination of the students of the Plainville, Massachusetts, Schools for the Years 1944-1945.
In the spring a clinic for immunization against Diphtheria was held and was well attended.
In May 1944 the routine pre-school clinic was held.
The examination of students was started in September 1944 and is now nearly completed. No major defect not previously reported has been noted. The usual dental defects have been observed and parents notified. No student who applied for athletics was refused on a health basis.
I wish to thank Mrs. Maddocks for her able assistance to me in the capacity of School Nurse.

ANNUAL REPORT
SCHOOL NURSE
Isabel M. Maddocks, R. N.
The annual examination of pupils started in September, the general health level was very good. The physical defects requiring correction were mainly of the teeth and diseased tonsils. The parents were notified of these defects.
To prevent the spread of disease, periodic personal in- spections are given the pupils. This also helps us to keep a close check on the individual pupil.
The pre-school examinations and the clinic for preven- tion of diphtheria were held in May. Eighteen pre-school children attended and fifteen children were innoculated against diphtheria.
I wish to thank the teachers for their interest and co- operation during the past year.
CLOSING
To the School Committee: I see more intimately than most persons the care and sincere interest you take in the wel- fare of the Plainville Schools. I wish to record my pleasure in co-operating with you in carrying out the policies of the Plainville School Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
LAURENCE G. NOURSE,
Superintendent of Schools.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
Again we are able to report a very successful year in our department. Our fire losses have been very small. We feel that this is due to the very keen interest the citizens have shown in prevention programs carried on in past years. We have added some small equipment and have kept our supply of fire hose up to normal.
Having been fortunate in the maintenance of equipment, we are able to turn back a very substantial amount of our appropriation. However, according to a mechanical expert's opinion which we solicited, we must again call to your atten- tion the fact that the town will have to make an appropria- tion for a piece of major fire apparatus in the near future. This would replace the piece of apparatus that you purchased in 1922-twenty-three years ago.
We thank you and the members of our department for the very fine aid and help that you have given us throughout the year.

On January 5, 1945, the Plainville War Price and Rationing Board will have been in operation for three years. When started it was hoped that the necessity for such regulations would be short lived, but circumstances have compelled their continuance.
We thank the citizens of Plainville for their cooperation and the patience in the enforcement of our duties. We sincere- ly hope that these regulations will be lightened and com- pleted in the not too distant future.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF PARK AND PLAYGROUND COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
We herewith submit our annual report.
Ten ball games were played. The Junior Grange had the use of the Park one day.
Owing to the shortage of gasoline, parents were unable to go to the sea shore, therefore more children used the pool than ever before. The ball field is being improved every year by grading with new loam.
It is impossible to replace worn apparatus at present, but we hope before the year is over, playground equipment will be available.
The trees that were burned at the entrance to the Park must be replaced.
We hope the town will consider the building of toilets as a post-war project, some work should be done on the Legion Home if this building is to be used by the boys coming home from World War 2.
Respectfully submitted,
CLARENCE F. TELFORD, C. GEORGE HAYES, META A. SCHUBERT

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
To the Town of Plainville:
Through the cooperation of the Department Heads we were able to end the year in a very good financial condition, which compared very favorably with year 1943.
In 1944 the Welfare cases show a slight increase.
The special drainage project on East Bacon Street was completed, and a substantial start was made on the drainage on the corner of West Bacon and Walnut Streets.
