CLASS SONG
We are the class of '29, We've gathered here tonight; In the fragrance of Life's springtime, With hopes and purpose bright. While "Honor Awaits at Labor's Gates", We all will do our share; Bear burdens with an honest heart, And banish all dull care.
Now in the world as in the school, We scon shall take our place; We may not always win the goal, That Heaven gives the race. Though future years our vision dim, All may not win a prize; But "Honor Awaits at Labor's Gates", Therein our purpose lies.
Class Colors: Blue and Silver Class Motto: Honor Awaits at Labor's Gates

ANNUAL REPORT
Assessors' Report
To His Honor, The Mayor, and Municipal Council:
Gentlemen:
The Board of Assessors respectfully submit the report of the Assessing De- partment for the year 1929.
The present board did not organize until April 9, 1929, and most of the work for the year had been the work of the present board since that date.
At the beginning of our work in April, we found the office would be over- crowded by clerical help. The room was insufficient and clogged with old material. The Assessors sitting at a table used by the Selectmen previous to 1914, with one drawer for each.
The new excise auto law wished on us, and when in full operation in all branches we were in each others way, and one of the assessors would be obliged to step one side in order to get at the wall maps from the steel cabinet.
We found a small room in the rear, on which the rent was charged to the Assessors and a telephone, the use of which was more or less in use by others. Said room had no windows or ventilation excepting a transom opening into the corridor, which if left open would allow other offices as well as people passing in the hall to hear all that transpires. But we have realized that it was almost impossible in the present quarters, to procure more room, so we have accepted it as we found it, making changes from time to time. The landlord painting the room, it has become more inhabitable and pleasant to work in.
We also found the funds low with which to purchase supplies and pay clerks. But with the aid of the Mayor and the Council we have been able to complete the work for 1929 and make the room more comfortable in which to work.
We shall need during the coming year a substantial increase in our budget. The office is not up to date and in the near future should have machinery to do in part what has been done heretofore by hand.
We found 15 large plans covering all the territory west of Washington Street from the R. I. Line to the North Attleboro Line, in the City of Attleboro which must have cost the City of Attleboro quite a sum of money some few years ago. These maps have not been used to any great extent, because they are divided into lots and numbered with numbers which do not correspond with the numbers now in use. During the time which has elapsed since they were made it has been almost an endless job to bring them up to date. They are too large and costly to use in the field and should be photostated in order to make them useable.
We are quoting some figures from our book which may be interesting in showing the makings of a tax rate and automobiles assessed and abated.
