Another field of activity in which notable COMMUNITY DRAMA progress has been made during this past year under auspices of the Recreation Commission is that of Community Drama. On this subject the Director's report for last year makes the following statement : "This activity is at present an experiment,

ANNUAL REPORTS
still in its early stages; but the Director estimates as sub- stantial the fundation already laid. No expense to the City has been incurred except in so far as employes assigned to other branches are correlating their work with that of promot- ing community drama.
"The general theory on which the experiment is being made is
(1) that a City of Somerville's size has a goodly num- ber of young men and women who are interested in dramatic expression and its kindred arts of aesthetic dancing, pageantry, choral activities, scenic lighting, stagecraft, public speaking, etc:
(2) that such interest can be stimulated into ogan- ized activity encouraged by the Municipal De- partment controlled by your Commission :
(3) that cultural and recreational value to the com- munity at large would result from any consider- able activity by groups thus organized, to be ef- fected by amateur theatricals and pageants, or- ganization of district dramatic clubs, etc :
(4) that the Public Recreation Centers, Church and Parish Associations and Clubs, the High School Players' Club, etc., constitute a ready medium of organizing activities.
(5) that public observances of such holidays as Christmas, Independence Day, etc., can furnish another medium."
The developments since then bear out the theory then outlined.
Last year's report by the Director also recorded the or- ganization and activities of the "Somerville Community Play- ers"; and predicted growth for this organization. Since that time the Somerville Community Players has been reorganized as the Civic Theatre of Somerville, whose immediate aim in the establishment of a sound basis for the society's future life and activities. The Civic Theatre conducts weekly meetings at the Recreation Centers or in the quarters of the Recreation Com- mission on Bow Street. One-act plays and lectures by members on various phases of the drama are customary at these meet- ings. At the Christmas season, the Civic Theatre joined with the four Evening Recreation Centers in presenting a public program which constituted the official municipal Christmas observance in Somerville. The chief feature of the program
263
RECREATION COMMISSION
was the orinigal music-drama, "Born King of the Jews." In this production the Civic Theatre displayed rare talent and skill in scenic technique, lighting, costuming, and other phases of stagecraft. The original music-drama itself was received as: creditable by a large audience including public officials. A section of the printed program is quoted here :-

ANNUAL REPORTS
In the field of adult leagues in athletics, ADULT LEAGUES etc., the organization has been about the same as reported a year ago. But the de- gree of public interest has greatly in- creased, and the number of citizens sharing the "passive" rec- reation opportunities afforded by these leagues has greatly in- creased. This number includes citizens who are spectators at games in baseball, basket ball, bowling, etc. In the Somer- ville Municipal Baseball League, eight teams participated in the schedule which began in May and terminated in September. Each team played twice each week. The league was better or- ganzied than in the previous season. A somewhat higher grade of baseball prevailed and there was a greater community in- terest. Similarly in the Somerville Muincipal Basket Ball League there has been an improved organization, a greater community interest, and a larger attendance at the games. These games are played on Friday nights in the gymnasium ; concerning those other activities reference has been made above. Twenty-two teams in two bowling leagues have been in action. Winning teams in these baseball, basket, and bowling leagues have kept up their interest and their associations dur- ing the seasons in which the particular sport is not active. Banquets and social events conducted by the winning teams in each league, presentation of trophies, etc., have been an im- portant part of the recreation program.
Administration and General Organization
The employment of a full-time, all-year Secretary-Sten- ographer, to serve the Commission and to assist the Secretary and the Director, has brought about a more closely knit or- ganization under your Commission. To this employe can be delegated much of the routine work of administration, thus enabling the Director to keep in closer contact with field de- tails as carried out by other workers under his supervision and direction.
The attention of your Commission is em- NEED OF phatically and respectfully called to the REORGANIZING Director's recommendation for a revision CORPS
of the leadership organization as here out- lined.
With the recent expansion of the various branches of the work under your Commission there has been a consequent ad- dition in the number of employes. About seventy-five persons have been employed under your Commission, but this number of persons is employed in about one-hundred-ten positions ; since some of these persons have two or more part-time posi-
265
RECREATION COMMISSION
tions, either for seasons occupying limited parts of the calen- dar year or for season that overlap. It has always been point- ed out that of these seventy-five persons only two are full- time, all-year employes. This arrangement necessarily involves a wide spread of personnel, and a somewhat difficult and com- plicated process of administration. For the proper efficiency among so many part-time workers in the various branches of the service, the proper contact of the workers with headquar- ters and with each other requires careful administration and supervision. Involved in this process is the cost of corres- pondence, postage, clerical service and telephone service.
Until recently it might well be that this type of organiza- tion was an advantage; but under recent developments this wide spread of part-time workers seems to be less advantageous than would be a smaller organization in which about four more full-time, all-year persons could be employed without ad- ditional expense.
For such re-organization, it will be a requisite that the full-time employes be trained in the many and varied branches of work that belong to the Recreation Leader's profession and require unusual versatility.
With four such full-time workers employed, it would be possible (1) to carry on the work of about fifteen of the present part-time employes; (2) to arrange their activities so as to eliminate the necessity of about ten more part-time employes ; (3) to reduce the cost in that part of the administration which effects contacts with the large group of workers; (4) to bring about a more closely knit organization in general; (5) more ef- fectively to acquaint the citizens and the community with the recreation system and the citizens' opportunities, than the part-time workers at present can do. No additional cost to the City would be involved by this re-organization, because of the elimination of some part-time positions.
It is the Director's judgment that at least one of the full- time workers should be a woman.
It should be further pointed out that by the addition of these full-time employes, it would be possible for the Commis- sion to develop for the future, professionally trained persons with consequent improvement in the type of management and leadership of the program.
Respectfully the Director urges that this recommendation for re-organization be considered by your Commission for adoption in the immediate future.

271
ELECTION COMMISSIONERS
NOMINATION PAPERS AND REFERENDUM PETITIONS
The Board received 225 nomination papers for the City Primary, on which 2,606 names were certified ; 29 Independent Papers for nomination on which 605 names were certified ; and 158 referendum petitions on which 3114 names were certified. This makes a total of 412 papers on which the names of 6325 voters were certified.
JURORS
In accordance with chapter 234, of the General Laws, as amended by chapter 311 of the Acts of 1924, the Election Com- missioners prepared a list of the inhabitants of Somerville, liable to serve as jurors. The Board has established a system of having each person provisionally selected for jury fill out a questionnaire and appear before a member of the Board at the office and make oath to the statements contained therein. This gives the Board an opportunity to meet each individual and note, if any, his physical defects or disability to render the county the service that would be required of him as a juror. These personal examinations, also enable the Board to know the educational qualifications of each propective juror.
The members of the Board make an impartial selection from all parts of the city, of men of various occupations and are of the opinion that the persons finally selected, represent an average of our citizenship. The jury list prepared by the Board for 1931, contains the names of 1292 voters of Somer- ville.
RECOUNT
A recount of ballots (Democratic) cast at the City Prim- ary, October 13th. for Mayor in Ward Two, Alderman at Large from Wards One and Two, Ward Alderman from Wards Two, Three and Four and School Committee from Ward Three was held October 19th. and 20th. A recount of ballots cast at the City Election, November 6th. for Mayor, Ward Alderman, Ward Four and School Committee for Ward Four was held November 9th and 10th.
EXPENSES
The expenses of the Election Department for the year ending December 31, 1931 were as follows :
Board of Election Commissioners $14,109 14
Pay of Election Officers 5,327 00
Total
$19,436 14
272
ANNUAL REPORTS
The present office of the Commission is inadequate to handle the volume of business that is transacted, with the re- sult that the office force is working under a severe handicap and the public cannot be served as it should be. We respect- fully request larger quarters.
The Board of Election Commissioners has had the co- operation of His Honor, the Mayor and the Honorable Mem- bers of the Board of Aldermen and the City Officials, for which, it is deeply grateful.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM F. BURNS, Chairman CHARLES LEO SHEA WARREN C. DAGGETT ARTHUR G. BURTNETT, Secretary
