Last January, two movies: How To Paint With Watercolor and How to Use Crayons, were enjoyed by all th students in the school.
Suggestions and assistance have been given in costuming, proper- ties and scenery for plays and the Music Festival. Cinderella, Stephen Foster, Hallowe'en, the Story of the Pilgrims and Santa's Helpers were the play productions. For the Music Festival, an excellent opportunity presented itself to correlate the study of foreign countries, especially the costume and design in South America, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Holland, Switzerland, China and Austria.

It has been a pleasure and a great satisfaction to be privileged to work with the children under the capable leadership of the superin- tendent, principal and teachers who are always so cooperative, loyal and friendly. My sincere thanks to them all.
MUSIC
Mrs. Harriet F. Washburn, Supervisor of Vocal Music
The enjoyment and pleasure that the children receive from their study of music in the elementary school shows that it is a study worthy of attention. Progress in ability to sing better, read music better and understand music better shows from grade to grade. This past year has been a successful one in all lines of endeavor, rote singing, rhythm orchestra, reading music, symphonet playing, part singing, folk dancing and Glee Club. The sixth graders did a great deal of square dancing under Mrs. Hart's guidance. The study of Symphonets helps with the reading of music. Many of the children did very good work and this year have continued on the orchestral instruments which should give them a good start toward eventually joining the High School band or orchestra.
I wish that the parents of children who have sung in the Glee Club would encourage those children to join the Glee Clubs at King Philip Regional High School, not only for the enjoyment they would have but for the help they would be to the rest of the group.
Since music is an international language, our Music Festival was called "Music Around the World". Miss Spier, as always, came to the rescue with drawings of the costumes of the different countries which helped greatly in costuming the children. Some of the children made their own costumes and, of course, many mothers and teachers helped too, for which I am very grateful.

ANNUAL REPORT
1958
This Fall, we have had a new experience in the second grades, watching Mr. Anthony Saletan, a music supervisor from Newton, teach folk songs on television. The children love the songs and their re- sponse to his requests is immediate. He has added many songs to the second grade repertoire.
I wish to express my gratitude to you, Mr. Sharp, and to the other members of the faculty and the children for the cooperation given to me.
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
Dr. Warren S. Freeman, Supervisor
I have the honor to submit my annual report for the year 1958 concerning the instrumental music program in the public schools of Plainville, Massachusetts.
During the year 1958, our instrumental music program has been greatly expanded. Although we no longer have grades seven and eight in the elementary school, we now have more than fifty children in the instrumental program. In addition to the regular band program which was organized several years ago, we have added accordion in- struction this year. We have also expanded the program, without addi- tional expenses to the Town, so that it now includes instruction on two days of each week. The Wednesday program is used entirely for in- struction purposes and on Friday we have instruction and ensemble playing. We now have a staff of five instructors who carry on the program and free lessons are given on all instruments, with an expert in charge of each group.
Our instrumental music program in Plainville has made outstand- ing progress during the past year. The band appeared at the annual school music festival, in the Memorial Day parade and in many other school functions during the year. Plans for a more extensive use of the band during the current school year are already in progress.
At this time, I would like to express my deep appreciation to the School Committee, the Superintendent of Schools and to the Principal for their unfailing cooperation in making possible an effective program of instrumental music in the schools of Plainville.

SCHOOL PHYSICIAN Dr. John T. Cotter
Examination of the children in the Plainville Elementary School is nearly completed. The general health of the pupils is good and no serious illness was noted. The usual number of students with chronic tonsillitis was noted-about 25% of these had been previously reported but no action had been taken. There were no serious foot deformities noted.
There was moderate absenteeism in November, due to an epidemic of upper respiratory infection and this was noted in many of the children examined.
A diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus prevention clinic was held in the spring of 1958 and was fairly well attended.
I wish to thank Mrs. Claudy, School Nurse, for her able assistance in examining the students and also thank the faculty for its cooperation.
SCHOOL NURSE Janet Claudy, R. N.
Physical examinations by our school physician are in progress at present for pupils in grades one and four.
Each student has received a hearing test. All parents have been notified of any below-normal hearing which these tests revealed.
Shortly after the opening of school, all pupils were weighed and measured. By means of these annual height-weight records, a child's growth and development can be watched.
A dental survey took place in October and was conducted by a hygienist from the Massachusetts Health Department. No treatment 1 was provided, but as a result of these examinations, parents were noti- fied of existing dental defects and urged to consult their family dentist when necessary.
Vision tests for all students have been scheduled to take place dur- ing the second school semester.
Three immunization clinics were held during the Spring. By means of innoculations of a triple antigen, pre-school children whose parents had requested it received protection against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough. A child of school age, upon parental request, was given immunization against tetanus and diphtheria. Similar clinics will be held during the spring of 1959.
133
ANNUAL REPORT
1958
An annual registration day was held in May for all prospective first-graders. It is planned to schedule a similar clinic this Spring.
I wish to extend my thanks to Dr. Cotter, Mr. Sharp, Mr. Rogers, members of the teaching staff and all personnel for the excellent co- operation they have given to the carrying out of this school health program.
CLOSING
In closing, I want to express my appreciation to the members of the School Committee for their cooperation and guidance. My work has been easier and more enjoyable because of the part they have played over the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
KENNETH L. SHARP, Superintendent

During this year the cruiser has traveled 32,867 miles. We have had fifty-eight (58) calls for the use of the emergency ambulance. In this instance we have taken, by doctor's request, persons to the following hospitals: Sturdy Memorial, Veteran's Hospital in Boston, Children's Hospital in Brookline, the Cambridge City in Cambridge, the Foxboro State Hospital, and to the Roger's Nursing Home in Plainville.
We greatly appreciate the help that the North Attleboro Police Department has given up by relaying messages and helping out in some of our cases. We also appreciate the aid of the Attleboro Police Department in our emergency runs to Sturdy Hospital.
We regret losing one of our good members, Sgt. Clarence P. Avery, a Constable, as he reached the retirement age this year. Mr. Avery has been a member of this department for twenty-one years, being made a Special Police in 1937. He was named Sergeant in 1955.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the members of the Department, the members of the Fire Depatment, the Board of Selectmen, and the various Town Officials, for their cooperation and assistance during the past year of 1958.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
During 1958 the Public Library has been a busy and growing insti- tution. The circulation has shown an increase of 1315 volumes over last year's total. This represents a growth of approximately 25%.
Probably the most important project carried on by the staff this year has been the classifying of the non-fiction collection. This work will be continuing in 1959. The ultimate result will be a catalog of the entire collection, so that each book may be located in this file by author, title or subject and then found in its correct position on the shelves which are now arranged according to the Dewey Decimal system.
The Friends of the Library are constantly working for the good of the library. The trustees and librarians greatly appreciate their endeavors. Other citizens have assisted the library by their interest and support as well as by miscellaneous gifts. One gift, which should be mentioned in particular, was a check given anonymously which enabled us to purchase eight very fine student chairs. For this and all of the other gifts throughout the year we extend our grateful thanks.
As the finance committee last year denied our request for funds to repair the roof, we have had to include it in this year's budget at a higher figure due to increased costs. This year the work has to be done or all our previous renovations will be damaged for want of a sound roof. We have also included items for systematic maintenance of the building. Having been also denied the services of a janitor by the finance committee, we were forced to hire help periodically to clean the building and do other jobs which should have been done regularly by a janitor. Therefore we trust we will be permitted these necessary services this year.
Many Girl Scouts have received library instruction towards their various badges and the school population constantly enjoys the use of the library. Our collection is rapidly improving in quality and quanti- ty by gifts, purchases and judicious weeding. The present schedule of hours is Monday through Friday 2:30 - 5:00 p. m. and Monday and Wednesday 7:00 - 9:00 p. m., plus an anticipated additional two hours for story hours which will be announced in the early spring. With this

schedule of 181/2 hours per week every one should have an opportunity to fill their reading needs in the Plainville Library.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CIVIL DEFENSE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
During the year 1958 several trips were made to Sector Head- quarters to work on the Massachusetts Survival Plan. This is very important to the Town of Plainville for matching funds and surplus property.
The Auxiliary Fire Department has continued its great work and is developing into a well trained unit. The Radio Unit continues to contact Sector Headquarters weekly as is required and are ready to assist in any emergency.
This year Clinton Grimm who was C. D. Director moved from town and it was necessary to reorganize. Donald McAlpine, David Lomasney and Richard Ellis were appointed Deputy Directors.
Donald Peck was appointed Auxiliary Police Chief under Chief Elmer Pease with Boyd Cheney as Assistant. They are working steady on this and will have a well trained unit to assist our regular Police Department in the near future.

REPORT OF THE PLAINVILLE PARK DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The park playground opened for the summer schedule the last week in June and a full program of activity for the children of the town was carried out through the summer months under the super- vision of Gary Cornell and Lary Cargill.
Full advantage of our park facilities was taken this year when the complete Fourth of July program was carried out in the park, from the children's games and races in the morning till the completion of the gigantic fireworks display in the evening.
The swimming pool again proved itself a popular spot. Mornings were reserved for instructions for all ages with free swim periods in the afternoon and evening. Although the evening attendance showed some improvement it is hoped that adult attendance will continue to increase.
The tennis court area was substantially improved by the addition of new backstops. This has made the courts a much improved unit of the park.
Again this year we were pleased to have the Little League use the facilities of the park for their summer activities. A complete schedule was carried out and while we realize the Little League is presently making arrangements for a field of its own the park department is proud to have been able to offer its facilities to the Little League dur- ing the period of its initial growth.
One of the most noticeable improvements to the park during this past year is the addition of a black top curbing surrounding the park- ing area. Although the finish grading has not been completed on this we feel it will prove its value in many ways.
We again urge everyone to remember that our Town Park is in itself a community project. Our thanks go to the Highway Depart- ment, Police Department, Fire Department and to all others who have helped to make our year a success and to improve our Town Park.
