Farewell, dear old school and friends, We are sad this year must end.
Because we must say goodbye, There's a tear within our eye.
All through our eight years of toil To our school we have been loyal.
We have worked with all our soul, And have finally reached our goal.
As here on the stage we stand, With diplomas in our hand,
We think of our mem'rys dear And the joys which we've had here.
The stairs we have learned to climb, Lead to education fine. Success we do hope to gain That will bring renown and fame.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF PARK AND PLAYGROUND COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen:
We herewith submit our annual report.
The retaining wall of the pool was repaired.
More children patronized the park this past summer.
The High School played five games of baseball.
Norfolk County Juvenile Grange held their annual picnic, and the Plainville Grange, an evening meeting.
The Plainville Grange presented a fine, substantial table for which we are very grateful and express our appreciation and thanks for same.
We regret to report that a great deal of damage has been done, not only to the band stand, but the bubbler pipe was broken, a large settee smashed and was thrown into the stream, all of which will have to be repaired and replaced. We feel that steps should be taken to stop this vandalism.
As windows in the library are broken, we desire an extra appropriation for library repairs.
We recommend an appropriation of $500 for 1943 for play- ground and park.
Respectfully submitted, CLARENCE F. TELFORD, META A. SCHUBERT, CHARLES G. HAYES,
Park and Playground Commissioners

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
To the Town of Plainville:
The year of 1942 saw many changes in our way of living. We, in Plainville, have been fortunate in having the wholehearted support of all our Town Officers and Department Heads. Their careful management has enabled us to maintain our strong financial structure during the same period that our State Revenue has been cut due to the decrease of gas tax.
In 1942 our Old Age Assistance expenditures were in- creased over the previous year; our Welfare cases were con- siderably smaller. Road work under Chapter 81 was somewhat curtailed by lack of material not being obtainable, but special drainage and other work which was badly needed was approved by the State Engineer and completed.
Again we wish to call to the townspeople's attention the convenience the new Town Building has given to all the various functions and special agencies which had to be created in con- nection with the War Emergency.
During the year Mr. Alpin Chisholm entered the service of the U. S. Army, and H. M. Thompson was appointed to fill the unexpired term.
On January 7, 1943, Mr. Arthur L. Crowley, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, and member of the Board for a number of years, passed away. His passing is a civic loss to the people of Plainville. Throughout the past few years he has given practically all of his time to the town. Mr. Crowley was a man of high ideals and his every act was for the interest of the people of Plainville. His place in the town and his contribution to the town is one that can hardly be replaced.
The Board of Selectmen wish to thank all the Town Officers for their kind co-operation during the year 1942.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT M. THOMPSON,
EDWIN W. PINK,
Board of Selectmen
