REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
We hereby submit our annual report for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1931.
During 1931 we built a new fence on the School Street side of the park, 157 feet.
Used 40 tons of trap rock dust on sidewalks with loam and cinders for a foundation.
Installed 12 new benches on Town Park and painted both sets of bleachers.
Damage has been done to property on all the parks and we hope the police and citizens will cooperate with us in keeping the Parks in good condition.

REPORT OF TOWN SOLICITOR
Milford, Mass., January 30, 1932.
Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Milford, Mass.
Gentlemen :
The usual routine matters and requests for opinions have been submitted and handled by this department during the year.
The Police Department have made the usual demands for the prosecution of cases involving violation of auto- mobile laws and other offences.
There have been numerous cases and claims against the town for injuries alleged to have been sustained on account of defective highways or sidewalks. In all of these instances a careful investigation has been made, and I feel confident that there is no responsibility on the part of the town.
This department has appeared before the Public Utili- ties Department in connection with petitions for exten- sion of water and gas and also before the Department of Public Works in connection with their assuming land damage resulting from the by-pass.
The town was unfortunate in connection with the con- tractor selected by the State for the performance of the West Street road, and a considerable amount of work has been necessary, and there are also pending several actions against the town in connection with the same, but I am happy to report the road was completed, and the town has now approximately Ninety-Five Hundred Dollars ($9,500.00) in cash, and has bond totalling approximately Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,-
129
000.00) so that there will be no loss to the Town of Milford.
There is pending the claim of Alfred F. Martin for alleged wages due. This matter should be disposed of by action soon.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank your Honor- able Board and all of the other boards and officials for the co-operation and assistance that they have given to this department during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
ALFRED B. CENEDELLA, Town Solicitor.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
I beg to report that the annual inspection of animals has shown conditions to be most satisfactory. The gen- eral health of animals, as pertaining to contagious di- seases and infections has been excellent. This is prob- ably largely due to the fact, that in anticipating the local Federal and State tests, owners have been making their replacements from tested stock, which has raised the sanitary level of the herds.
In making the town a quarantine area preliminary to State and Federal tests, we have taken a long step in the direction of perfect health and sanitation.
While dog bites have been as prevalent as last year, and many dogs have been quarantined, no positive case of rabies has been found.
There has been no condition of contagion reported among hogs.
Respectfully submitted,
B. F. HARTMAN, Inspector of Animals.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
TO THE CITIZENS OF MILFORD :-
Following is the report of your School Board and we bespeak your earnest consideration.
The department seems to have been carried on with close attention to true economy and the net cost to Mil- ford for education during the year 1931 was, in round numbers, only $189,000.00. We realize, however, that Milford in common with the rest of the State and the country at large, is in a grave financial crisis. Conscious of this fact, the committee has attempted to keep the budget at the lowest figure at which the schools can be administered, having in mind the true interests of the children.
The general school conditions relative to housing our pupils are still in a deplorable condition, but the financial crisis already referred to forces the further postpone- ment of remedial measures.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
TO THE HONORABLE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD :-
Gentlemen : I herewith present my twenty-first annual report, the fifty-third of such reports in the history of the town.
CONGESTION
The school year 1930-1931 opened with the largest High school enrollment in the history of Milford. The same school year closed with the largest graduating class in the history of the school. The school year 1931-1932 opened with 622 pupils in the High school, 67 more than at the beginning of the previous year *. The building was built to accommodate 230 to 240 pupils! This is the ninth year of the double platoon!
Health, safety and character training have been looked after in special ways during the year under review.
About one hundred new children were immunized against diptheria the past fall. Physical exercises have been changed, extended and improved as necessary through the year.
Two fires in school property within a year reminded us forcibly of the necessity for continued and even better fire drills. An account of the new fire escape at the Claflin school is given farther on in this report. The thanks of this department are due, and are hereby ex- tended, to the Police department, for safety zone mark- ing on the streets at the High, Stacy and other schools.
The Egan Monthly Service in character training (a series of monthly pamphlets developed by the head-
*Figures as October 1.

The teachers' room is now used as a classroom some periods during the week, and we have returned again to the Stacy school sewing room in order to provide for an extra room for the teaching of Algebra. Room 17 has been converted again into a classroom, and the typewriters which were for- merly in that room are now crowded into Rooms 15 and 16.
COMMENCEMENT AWARDS
"Three of the four Patrick Peace Prizes, offered by Mrs. Cora Cushman, daughter of the late Henry L. Pat- rick of Hopedale, were won by students of the school. The subject was 'Will Briand's United States of Europe Bring About Peace?' The first prize, twenty-five dollars in gold, was awarded to Pauline E. Smith, valedictorian of the class of 1931; the second prize, twenty dollars in gold, went to a student in the Hopedale High School; the third prize, fifteen dollars in gold, was awarded to Charles L. San Clemente, class of 1932; the fourth prize,
148
ten dollars in gold, was awarded to Winnifred P. Gran- ger, '31. Honorable mention was given to Florence Ne- grotti of the Hopedale High School and to Marjorie Brown of the Mendon High School.
"The Dr. John V. Gallagher medal, awarded annually to the student in the senior class who earns his letter in athletics at least three times and attains the highest average of those eligible for the prize, was won by Marco Balzarini, captain of the 1930 football team. He was closely approached for the honor by Kenneth M. Noone, captain of the 1931 baseball team.
"The Washington and Franklin medal, given annually for excellence in the study of United States History, was awarded to Pauline E. Smith.
"The two medals given annually by the Sons of the American Revolution, awarded on the basis of depend- ability, co-operation, leadership, personal conduct, and patriotism as evidenced by loyalty to, and knowledge of, the Preamble of the Constitution, were awarded to Doro- thy I. Phillips, salutatorian of the class of 1931, repre- senting the girls, and to Kenneth M. Noone, representing the boys. These medals were presented to the school by a generous member of the W. R. C. The winners of these medals, in addition to ten others, submitted essays on the subject 'The High School-The Need of Every Boy and Girl' and the prize of ten dollars, given by this same friend, was awarded to Kenneth M. Noone.
"The Book prize, given by the class of 1917 to the member of the graduating class having the best record in the classical subjects of English, History, and Latin, was won by Pauline E. Smith. Dorothy I. Phillips ranked second and was awarded a Book prize.
"The Posture medal, given annually by Miss Sadie A. O'Connell, teacher of Expression, to the student of the Expression class who has shown at the end of the year the greatest development in posture, was presented to Patrice R. Carroll, '31.
149
"The Book prizes given annually by the David Garrick Dramatic Club to the students who rendered the most faithful service during the two years of membership, were awarded ex aequo to Louise Cenedella and Joseph Moresco.
"The John E. Swift oratorical medal, awarded annu- ally for excellence in oratory, was won by Miss Sabina T. Burns on April 22, 1931.

"The beautiful Sergeant John W. Powers Post No. 59, American Legion, Americanism essay award was won by Lillian Chafetz, '31. Over one hundred essays on the subject 'Why I Love America' were submitted by members of the Senior class and after three neutral and well trained judges passed on them Miss Chafetz was unanimously awarded this medal.
"Miss Leona Paietta was awarded a special prize of a bronze medal for her humane poster by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
ACTIVITIES
"Several dances and the annual May Prom were held under the auspices of the Senior class. The receipts of these dances were given over to the Athletic Association. The class of 1932 held its Junior Prom in January. The proceeds of this dance were placed in the class treasury.
"Many students were engaged in numerous activities of the school: the Athletic Association, Orchestra, French, Science, Chemistry, Freshman Debating, and David Garrick Dramatic clubs, Oak Lily and Ivy staff. Football and Baseball teams are functioning exception- ally well.
"The 1931 football team made an exceptionally fine
150
record. Of the nine games on the regular schedule, Milford was victorious in eight. The teams that suf- fered defeat were Attleboro, Clinton, Franklin, Fitch High School of Groton, Connecticut, Natick, Marlboro, Wellesley, and Walpole. Coach Riopel has done espec- ially well with his athletic teams, and deserves the united support of the people of this community for his untiring efforts in behalf of the boys.
"Our students were again represented in the annual short story contest conducted by the Boston Traveler, and several wrote stories of distinction.
"The students of the school contributed fruit, vege- tables, and preserves in large quantities at Thanks- giving time to the Salvation Army for distribution among the unemployed. The committee in charge of this project was made up of William Bellantonio, Fan- nie DeCesare, Edmund Sullivan, Theresa Consoletti and Joseph FitzGerald. At Christmas time another call was made by the Salvation Army, and the students responded readily.
"A football game with the strong Norwood High team, which resulted in a victory for Milford, was played for the benefit of the unemployed on the first Saturday in December. Over three hundred dollars was netted and turned over to the town almoner, John T. O'Brien.
"Many of the High school girls willingly assisted in the sale of tags and tickets for several organizations during the past year.
"The teachers contributed a day's pay to the Fund for the Unemployed.
GIFTS
"Mrs. E. E. Holbrook presented to the library six very fine volumes: one a leather bound copy of "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" and five volumes written by Supt. H. W. Lull, a former principal of the school.
"The class of 1906 at the annual meeting of the Alumni Association, gave a sum of money to the school.
151
The money has been spent in the purchase of a beauti- ful picture-a view of Naples-which has been hung on the wall in the corridor of the High school.
"Mr. Arthur P. Young, son of Frank L. Young and Minnie E. (Jones) Young, both graduates of Milford High, presented a beautiful picture of a Canadian scene, painted by a member of the Royal Academy of Art. This picture was bequeathed by his parents to the school.
