ANNUAL REPORTS
BUILDINGS
The Building Commissioner has done a very creditable- job during the past year in directing the program of mainten- ance and repair of the school buildings within the limits of his department appropriation.
Fire doors and fire walls which took considerable time and involved many structural changes, were installed on all three floors at the Bennett School to conform with the safety regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety. An unused room in the basement of the Cutler School was converted into a classroom because of the crowded conditions. This room was acceptable because of the splendid job of re- modeling and redecorating. The heating equipment at the Cutler School was converted to oil, involving the installation of two cil burners.
At the Brown School the boys' sanitary was completely reconditioned and all new equipment was installed. The heat- ing system at the Glines School was converted to oil. A new incinerator was built at the Prescott School. An additional kindergarten was organized at the Forster School due to over- crowding. It was located in the polling room in the basement and its establishment required many changes such as the in- stallation of a new hot water heating system. A new kindergar- ten was organized at the Morse School and the room required extensive reconditioning. The old stockroom on the first floor a+ the Morse School was converted into a very pleasant teach- ers' rest room.
A considerable amount of painting and redecorating was done at the Northeastern Junior High School. The front hall was painted a large portion of the auditorium was redecorated, and the burlap covering in the corridors was replaced in many places.
A considerable amount of glass has been set in all the buildings and window cords have been renewed and sashes re- placed in many buildings. General plumbing and heating re- pairs have been made in almost all of the buildings. Repairs to bells. telephones, fire alarm systems, and to the electrical" systems represent a very large item of expense during the past year. Roofs were repaired in nine schools and considerable work must still be done on the roofs at the Vocational School, the Knapp School, and the Western Junior High School. Fences have been repaired at several buildings and ceilings
155
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
and walls were painted and necessary plastering was com- pleted in nineteen buildings.
Much of the furniture is in very poor condition and re- quires considerable repair.
There is a definite need for new blackboards or chalk- boards in several elementary schools. This shortage has been met to a small degree by taking slate from the back of the classrooms where it is not needed and using it to replace the worn-out slate in the front or the side of the classrooms. Such back walls are now being covered with Celotex or some other material which lends itself very well for use as bulletin boards.
PERSONNEL
The Somerville School System was saddened by the un- timely death on July 4, 1951 of Mrs. V. Theresa Morrissey, serving her third term as the representative on the School Committee from Ward 6, who passed away after a long and severe illness. Her passing was noted by the School Commit- tee by the unanimous adoption of the following resolution:
WHEREAS, Mrs. V. Theresa Morrissey passed away on July 4, 1951, and
WHEREAS, She served with distinction as a member of the Somerville School Committee from Ward 6 from 1946 until her death in 1951, and was honored by her colleagues by election as Chairman, the second woman ever to hold that office in Somerville, and
WHEREAS, This charming, talented, and capable woman has rendered outstanding service in the civic, charitable, and social life of the community, and
WHEREAS, As a devoted and unselfish mother, her family life was an inspiration to all with whom she came in contact, therefore be it
RESOLVED: That the School Committee express its regret at the loss of such an outstanding citizen, and be it further
RESOLVED: That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of the meeting and that a copy be sent to the family of Mrs. V. Theresa Morrissey.
Mrs. Morrissey was succeeded as a member of the School Committee by her daughter, Margaret R. Morrissey, who was elected by the School Committee to fill the unexpired term.

ANNUAL REPORTS
Thirteen members of the instructional staff severed their connections with the school organization during the year.
Edith V. Blood, teacher at the Southern Junior High School, passed away after an effective and loyal service of twenty-nine and a half years.
Four teachers retired from service during the year after exceptionally long periods of association with the Schools, namely Bessie J. Baker, Principal's Assistant at the Forster School, who gave loyal and devoted service to elementary school children during forty-five years and six months; Bessie 1. Berry, teacher at the Carr School for thirty-six years and three months; Wallace S. Hall, teacher of Physics in the High School for thirty-two years; and L. Thomas DeCelles, teacher at the High School; whose thirty-two-year employment was in- terrupted by a one-year leave of absence.
Six of the younger teachers terminated their services to assume the responsibilities of homemaking through marriage, one resigned to perform service as a member of the W.A.C., while one, after a term of service in the U.S.N., entered the business field after his release from service.
Appropriate letters of appreciation were sent by the School Committee to all those who terminated their services during this year.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In accordance with the provisions of the statutes of the Commonwealth and the Rules of the School Committee, it is incumbent on the Superintendent of Schools, in submitting the annual report concerning the condition of the public schools, to make suggestions on matters which he thinks should have attention by the School Committee during the coming calendar year. Therefore, the following recommenda- tions are submitted, which seem to deserve careful thought, consideration, and action during the coming year:
1. That the School Committee devote its major attention to the school plant, using as its guide the long-term building program formulated by the educational consultants and rec- ommended in the Report of the Survey of Elementary School Needs.
2. That immediate study be given to the proper location of the first two additional school buildings, as recommended
157
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
by the Survey, so that acquisition of the sites therefore may be made at once by the proper authorities, and the necessary steps taken to start the erection of the schools so that they may be ready for occupancy during 1953.
3. That immediate action be taken in the light of the increased elementary school enrollment to bring about the maximum utilization of existing school plant facilities.
4. That a time schedule be developed for the rehabilita- tion, beginning in the fall of 1952, of those buildings which are structurally sound and in need of modernization, which will be a part of the eventual school plant.
5. That further consideration be given to the necessity for enlarging the quarters for the auto body work and the painting and decorating activities at the Vocational School.
6. That actions be taken whenever necessary to allow for the continuance of the schools' participation in the Civil Defense program.
7. That early action be given to the proposal to revise the Rules of the School Committee with relation to (a) the eligibility of candidates for teacherships and cadetships, and (b) the methods and procedures of the examination plan.
CONCLUSION
The Superintendent of Schools, in submitting this, his twenty-fourth annual report in a series of eighty such reports, has reviewed matters of educational interest and significant happenings of the schools during the year 1951, and has dis- cussed the educational program and the cooperative manner in which the organization has devoted itself with industry and determination to its tasks.
Believing that the evidence submitted indicates a task well done by all associated with the schools, all citizens are respectfully requested to join the Superintendent in express- ing appreciation to those who by their loyalty, devotion, and effectiveness have brought about a well attained accomplish- ment.
Finally, in conclusion, the citizenry may be assured that every effort of the administrators will be devoted to the con- tinuance of a good educational program.
