During the year, much needed repairs were made on the foundation of the building, at a cost of $57.75.
Number of books now on hand, 3,490.
New books added during 1945, 100.

REPORT OF MOUNTAIN STREET CEMETERY
No money expended during the year 1945. Reason, no help available for cemetery work.
It is recommended that the same amounts be appro- priated this year as there is more help available and some minor grading and landscaping must be done as well as the occasional mowing and trimming that must be done to make this place a credit to the town.

Report of the Fire Department
The following is the report of the Fire Department.
Until this year the firemen in Williamsburg and Hay- denville have held separate meetings but this past year the firemen from both villages met together on the first Wednesday of each month, alternating the meetings in Haydenville and Williamsburg. Officers elected were Lester Wells, Chairman ; Charles Sabo, Secretary and Wil- liam Ryan, Treasurer.
The Fire Department answered thirty-five calls, thirty-two building fires and three grass fires.
The Department put in a total of two hundred and seventy-one hours on fire drills under my direction.
Eighteen firemen took a twenty hour course, sponsored by the Massachusettts Division of Vocational Education and Training with Fire Chief, Robert Ulm of Easthampton as drillmaster.
We have been loaned twenty Civilian Defense Cans from the State Forest Fire Department for use in forest fires.
Repairs have been made on the Williamsburg Fire Station and oil heat installed during the past year.
I recommend that action be taken to improve the pressure and flow of water in the Town for better fire protection.
Respectfully submitted,
CHENEY K. HATHAWAY,
Fire Chief.

Report of the Recreation Commission
-
The following is the report of the Recreation Commis- sion of Williamsburg.
The newly elected officers of the Recreation Commis- sion who met and organized on February 12th, 1945 to formulate plans for the coming year are: George Mosher, Chairman, Merton Bickford, Secretary, and Mrs. Mabel Marston, Member.
We called a meeting on February 15th, 1945 with the Selectmen to clarify our duties, and were told that the $1,500.00 voted for our use was for painting and repairs at the Community Hall in Haydenville, and under control of the Selectmen. A further check with Mr. Foster re- vealed that the Recreation Commission has complete con- trol and management of the two Community Buildings.
First, we removed the unsafe front porch and used new clapboards where old ones had to come out. New cement steps with iron rails were constructed at all three entrances, and a small badly worn part of the roof was replaced with new asphalt roofing shingle. Due to scarcity of material and manpower we were unable to get bids for the much-needed outside painting of the Building. All rooms downstairs except a small one in the rear were painted-work and material furnished by the American Legion Post of Williamsburg, who use the rooms for their veterans.
55
A pool table and various games have been added to the quarters.
The Building has been used by the Planning Commit- tee that was to have been formed in Haydenville, the Democratic Town Committee, Collector of Water Taxes, and other groups.
The Hall has been rented on two different occasions at $8.00 per night, the money being turned over to the Town Treasurer.
The American Legion Post provided the coal for the year, and also assumed the bill for the lights, as this was not taken care of at the Town Meeting.
Permission has been granted the Williamsburg High School to play basketball in the Hall; they have played several games, which we feel brings life back to the Village. The windows have been screened with heavy wire and frames, also furnished by the American Legion.
We hope this year to see the Building used a great deal more by the people of Haydenville and Williamsburg, as it is suitable now for any occasion.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE T. MOSHER, MERTON L. BICKFORD, MRS. MABEL MARSTON.
56
American Legion
To the Citizens of Williamsburg and Haydenville :
May we take this opportunity of thanking the people for their fine support rendered to the American Legion Post this past year. We also would like at this time to thank the members of the Recreation Commission for the use of the downstairs rooms in the Community Building in Haydenville. In the past year we have also tried to keep up our end of it by redecorating all the rooms except one downstairs, including a new ceiling in one of the rooms which was needed badly.
All veterans have always been welcome, and we have provided such things as a pool table, checkers, chess, and are soon to have a ping-pong table. The heating of the building and lights have for the past year been taken care of by the Legion Post. The Ladies Auxiliary bought and installed Venetian blinds on the windows at the front of the building, making a better appearance.
The rooms are open every night in the week except Sunday, so why don't you come in and pay us a visit.
Cordially yours, Members of Gerald E. Larkin Post, No. 236.

FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1945
58
Report of the School Committee
It is with pleasure that we submit our annual report to the citizens of Williamsburg and take this opportunity to thank them for their support and consideration.
The year just past we feel was quite successful in that we were able to keep up the teaching standards of previous years with slight change in the teaching staff, maintain our buildings to the best standards afforded by the prevailing labor situation and keep within our budget.
We were disappointed in not being able to have the wood-work and windows painted and repaired and have taken this item into consideration in our new budget.
With the releasing of the restrictions on travel we were again in a position to offer a limited form of physical education via sports by the appointment of a basketball coach for the boys. We regret that this activity is con- fined to such a small group, however, we are daily seeing- the reflection of yesteryear when we neglected to provide for a gymnasium.
There have been many committees, clubs and organi- zations served by the Helen E. James Building during the year and this traffic with the normal School activities sug- gest to us that we look to the future with an idea of physi- cal improvements and repairs.
59
We wish to express our appreciation to the Superin- tendent, the Teachers and the Janitors for their splendid co-operation and to the Townspeople who have many times shown their interest in their School System.
Respectfully submitted,
WARREN E. MCAVOY, LAURI S. RONKA, WILLIAM G. LOOMIS, School Committee.

Superintendent's Report
To the Members of the School Committee :
The annual report of the Superintendent of Schools is herewith submitted. It is the twenty-fifth of the pres- ent series and the forty-fourth since the formation of this school union.
At the close of schools in June, Mrs. Irene Porter resigned as the teacher of grades two and three in order to open her home for the return of her husband who had served in the European theater of the War. Mrs. Porter had made a real contribution to the education of the chil- dren in her class, and it was with regret that her resigna- tion was accepted.
Mrs. Helen E. McCoy of Chesterfield was appointed to fill this vacancy. She is a graduate of Westfield Teach- ers College and has specialized in primary teaching. Her experience includes one year at Feeding Hills, three years at Sherborn, and two and one-half years in Chesterfield. We were fortunate in being able to secure this well trained and experienced teacher.
The care and supervision of the health of our pupils has been directed by our school physicians, Dr. Ruth Hem- enway and Dr. Charles H. Wheeler, by our school nurse, Mrs. Nan C. Dunphy, and by Dr. Joseph Kisiel our school
61
dentist. No epidemic has occured and the general health of the children has been reported as good. When schools closed in June the Red Cross found that it was unable to continue the dental clinic and that service was with- drawn. Dr. Kisiel also resigned. By vote of the School Committee it was decided to conduct a dental clinic under the direction of this department. Dr. Glade P. Hall, a former school dentist here, was chosen to do this work. We are glad to have Dr. Hall with us again. The Red Cross has assisted by renting its dental equipment to us at a nominal cost. Good health is essential to happy and successful living. Therefore, it is very important that parents give prime consideration to all notices sent from our doctors and nurse. By such co-operation we shall be able to keep all of the children strong and well.
Music, which in its numerous types of expression, gives so much pleasure and enjoyment to all people, has been taught in our schools as usual. Miss Olive Healy has been in charge and fine progress has been made. The high school orchestra which was started last year has continued its good work. Pupils of grades seven and eight who play instruments have been invited to join. The Christmas musical given by the Williamsburg grade school was ex- cellent and much enjoyed by pupils, parents and towns- people.
Mrs. Olive Thayer has served as supervisor of drawing during the year. In addition to its regular work this de- partment co-operated with the music program by painting the scenery used in its musical. All of the work was done by students. Much time was given to the making of menu and place cards for U. S. Hospitals to be used by wounded soldiers. This was done to assist the work of the Junior Red Cross.
62
The organization of the high school for 1945-1946 was as follows: Principal, Anne T. Dunphy, two classes in Latin, one in French; Miss Helena Webber, four classes in mathematics, one in U. S. History, one in French, coach- ing debate team; Mr. Edward C. Foster, four classes in science, one in World History, and one in Aeronautics; Mrs. Esther Thornton, five classes in English, and one in Spoken English, assembly programs; Mrs. Madeline Brown, three classes in typing, one in stenography, one in junior business and one in bookkeeping; Miss Olive Healy, one class in glee club, and two orchestra rehearsals. The one-session plan which was tried out last winter has been adopted. School opens at 9:00 A. M. and closes at 2:20 P. M. There are eight regular periods and a lunch period. The eighth period from 2:20 P. M. to 3:00 P. M. is used for extra curricular activities.
The teachers at the Helen E. James School were: Miss Martha Dickerman, grades seven and eight; Miss Nelle Dolan, grades five and six; Mrs. Dorothy Colburn, grades three and four; Mrs. Helen McCoy, grades two and three; Mrs. Sophia Eaton, grade one.
The Haydenville School was organized as follows: Principal, Miss Margaret Trainor, grades seven and eight; Miss Margaret Gore, grades five and six; Miss Louise Gagnon, grades three and four; Miss Mary Crampton, grades one and two. Miss Olive Healy, supervisor of music in all schools ; Mrs. Olive Thayer, supervisor of draw- ing in the elementary schools. Although the employment of a supervisor of penmanship was authorized by the School Committee, one could not be obtained for this school year. It is hoped that we shall have one when schools open for the fall term.
There was a decrease of four in the number of pupils transported, 118 being the number listed for this year. The number on each route was as follows : Mountain Street,
63
twenty-two; Haydenville to Williamsburg, twenty-eight; Searsville and Old Goshen Road, thirty-three; South Street, thirteen; Chesterfield Road, six; and Nash Street, thirteen. All buses have been in operation and the chil- dren have been transported safely and efficiently.
It is the opinion of this department that the Town should own and operate the school buses. This does not in any way detract from the excellent service which is being given by the present operators, but is offered en- tirely in the interest of economy. If the buses were owned by the Town, they could be operated by persons who are already on the school pay roll. They could be used for basketball trips, class trips, or for any of the other activi- ties which require our students to travel to other schools. Several towns in the State own their buses and have found that costs are much less than when this service is per- formed by private operators. The Town of Southwick for example has followed this plan for a number of years and has saved money by it. When new buses are again avail- able, it is suggested that a careful study be made, and, if facts warrant, the plan be adopted.
Organizations and committees of the Town held two hundred and forty meetings in the Helen E. James build- ing during the year. There were one hundred and thirteen afternoon meetings and one hundred twenty-seven evening meetings. This continued use of the building by the com- munity is an excellent way in which to get the utmost use from a town building.
The problem of the small high school is one that faces all school departments in towns where the secondary school enrollment is from fifty to one hundred students. Here an expansion of the program by the addition of new studies and vocational offerings is impossible because of the very
64
high cost of such changes. Nevertheless, many of the needs of our students cannot be met by the traditional offerings.
Parents, however, still prefer to have their children go to the local high school. Therefore, it is proposed that traveling classes be arranged for so that groups of students may go to other schools for the particular study or train- ing they desire or need, and that credit be given for such work toward their diplomas. For example, a group of our girls could take a course in cooking at Smith's School, or a group of boys might wish to study practical electricity. Other coruses could be studied under this same plan. The high school would, of course continue its present excellent program of studies which are fundamental, and give train- ing in the fields of English, Mathematics, History, Science, Latin, French, and Commercial Subjects. It would regis- ter all students, keep a record of credits earned, provide guidance, and grant diplomas. The cost of transportation and tuition for these groups would be low enough to be practical for the Town to undertake, and the high school could serve the needs of its students better by this ex- panded program.
Among the numerous plans for post war building, the need of the schools for a suitable gymnasium should not be overlooked. It has been suggested before in these re- ports that a Memorial Building be built near enough to the present school at Williamsburg to provide for the school needs, and at the same time take care of the need for a new Town hall. This building could also contain offices for those who are required to carry on the Town's business. The building could be heated by the school boilers and cared for by the school janitors. It would serve as our community recreation center.
65
Recommendations :
1. That the high school program of studies be ex- panded to include special subjects which may be studied at other schools.
2. That the Town consider owning the school buses.
3. That a Memorial Gymnasium be built which will serve the school and community.
In closing I wish to thank the members of the School Committee, the teachers, parents, and pupils for their help- ful co-operation.
Respectfully submitted, L. A. MERRITT,
Superintendent of Schools.
