As in other years, numerous minor injuries occuring in the school playgrounds have been brought to me by the school nurse. Physical examinations of all candidates for athletic teams have been made and all have been found to be in suitable condition for the teams. As usual, some injuries have occurred in the football and basketball games, none very serious, however. Apparently they are to be expected as a part of the game and occasion no comment.
Examination of the pupils in the first, fourth, eighth and twelfth grades has been done and the attention of parents called to any conditions that require medical atten- tion.
The diphtheria immunization clinics were held under the sponsorship of the Board of Health with the assistance of the school nurse, the district nurses and some volunteers.
The hours for issuing school certificates are:
2:00 to 3:00 and 7:00 to 8:00 P. M. Saturdays from 2:00 to 3:00 P. M. No office hours on Sunday.
REPORT OF THE ATTENDANCE OFFICER STEPHEN J. HART
My report for the past year is that the attendance problem is under control.
I have had to make numerous calls at various homes and am happy to report that no out and out truancy cases were found that required court proceedings.
At the present time, however, I have two cases that need constant attention and will bear watching in order to correct and improve the attendance records of these two pupils.
I appreciate the cooperation of all the school personnel during the past year.

7:15 A. M .- No morning session for the first six grades.
11:30 A. M .- No afternoon session for the first six grades.
135
ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
By courtesy of the WNAC, WBET and WJDA Broad- casting Stations, no-school announcement will be given by radio as near to the local hours as is convenient and pos- sible for the station announcer.
There will be days when schools are in session because conditions are not severe enough to cause complete shut- dokn of all activities. On such days, parents, as in former years, determine whether their children shall report to school. No excuse will be required of pupils for absence on such days, unless the parent so wishes. Consideration will be given pupils striving for perfect attendance.
* It is essential that we keep in mind that State Law requires that the High School shall be in session at least 180 days of each school year and for the grade schools, 160 days.

ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph :
The sixty-fourth annual report of the Water Commis- sioners is herewith submitted for the year ending December 31, 1949.
Organization of the Board was as follows:
. Frederick D. Driscoll Chairman
Martin E. Young Clerk
William J. Almond Associate
APPOINTMENTS BY BOARD

DEPARTMENT MAINTENANCE
For the third consecutive year the Department showed a marked increase in new service work-one hundred sixty- two (162) applications were filed and they have all been installed.
Thirty service leaks were repaired-two being renewed throughout-eleven from main to line-eight from main to stop and nine from stop to line. Twenty-six additional services also received lesser repairs. Three services were pumped out and cleaned-two services were discontinued and three others were relocated. Sixteen service boxes found broken were replaced.
During the year seven hydrants were broken-all but one by automobiles. The town has been reimbursed for cost of repairs, etc., on most of them. All the hydrants of the system were inspected-one found with leaking base was repaired and one other was raised to grade in conjunction with new road work-two new hydrants were also in- stalled.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
The Department had little trouble with the distribution mains this year-only three leaks-all blown joints on the 14" main.
In the meter department, one hundred and seven meters were removed: thirty-seven not registering-two were froz- en and burst and sixty-eight for various other reasons- of these twelve were junked. Ninety meters previously removed were reset and forty-six new meter settings were made.
As a result of the Special Town Meeting action, eight hundred linear feet of 6" C. I. pipe together with gates and hydrants were installed on Edwin St. to replace the totally inadequate 11/4" line already in service.
The town continues to lag behind in new main ex- tensions. These requests, in most instances, are sorely needed and it is the hope of this Department that serious consideration will be given to the articles relative to main extentions and renewals as they are petitioned for in the Town Warrant.
JOINT ACCOUNT
There has been very little trouble with the equipment at the Pumping Station this year. Thanks to the careful in- spection and supervision it receives from the Chief Engi- neer, Mr. McKiernan. Breakdowns have been at an ab- solute minimum, and repair work has been more or less routine.
The policy of repairing and improving the Depart- ments physical property was continued again this year. Some work was done on the Pumping Station itself, and part of the building was reroofed. Also, the grounds and shrub- bery around the Station have received close attention. We believe attractive property is an outward evidence of a well run utility.

ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
The water continues to receive a daily analysis which aids greatly in the Departments efforts to deliver to its takers a final effluent comparable to any.
A complete chart of the water analysis taken by the State Department of Public Health follows.
