Report of the Fire Department
Firemen have met on the first Wednesday of each month during the year.
Officers elected were Edward Foster, Chairman, and Merrill Bisbee, Secretary and Treasurer.
The Department was called out to twelve building fires, nine grass, brush and dump fires. There was also a serious explosion at the Snack Bar resulting from L. P. gas. Fortunately there was no loss of life.
The following new equipment was purchased: two CO2 dry powder extinguishers, six salvage covers, 200 feet fire hose, one length of suction hose, and two battery chargers.
Both fire stations were re-wired and new lamp fix- tures were installed.
The exterior of the Haydenville Fire Station needs painting this year.
The Williamsburg Station needs changes made to conserve on fuel and make room for the storage of for- est fire truck.
Television is a new hazard in fire fighting and proper instruction of firemen will be necessary.

Report of Board of Health
The Board of Health submits the following report for the period from Jan. 1, 1950, to Dec. 31, 1950.
As provided by law, inspectors of animals, slaughter, barns and milk were appointed,-Mr. Harold Smart and Mr. Arthur Polmatier.
A Well Child Clinic (61 children in Williamsburg and 63 in Haydenville) was held in each village school.
Garbage and rubbish collections have continued un- der the general management of the Board, and have been carried out as regularly as possible under our bud- get.
Midyear 1950, following a petition from two score Haydenville residents, the Board of Health asked the Finance Committee for $500, which was granted, to meet the emergency demand that the Haydenville dump on Mountain Street be eliminated and a new site for rub- bish disposal be selected. This work has for the most part been completed.
The Board recommends a survey to provide a plan for disposal of sewage and waste.
The Board recommends that all who can install an efficient septic tank, and requests that all others study the laws and regulations regarding cleanliness and sani- tation and comply with them.
The abuse of our dumping areas, and of public and private areas not available for dumps, costs money to
55
correct. It is an affront to all well disposed and co- operative citizens. We ask all to share responsibility to correct such nuisances.
The Board has maintained as consistent and careful inspections as our inspectors could accomplish. Animals, slaughter, barns, milk, public eating and drinking places have been visited, approved, or censored. Communicable diseases have been recorded as required by law.
Respectfully submitted, ALBERT R. CRONE, Chairman, MARY ELIZABETH GRAVES, DR. JOSEPH R. HOBBS, Board of Health.

Superintendent's Report
To the Members of the School Committee :
The annual report of the Superintendent of Schools is herewith submitted. This is report number thirty in the present series and the forty-ninth since the establish- ment of the present school union.
The modern school program needs space and equip- ment so that the varied activities included in it may be properly conducted. At Williamsburg there is an ever increasing enrollment. Two more classrooms could be used in the near future if they could be provided. There is also a great need for an auditorium-gymnasium to serve not only the activities of the grade schools and the high school, but those of the people of the community as well. A cafeteria would be a great benefit to the one hundred and fifty or more pupils who now bring cold lunches. It could be installed in the basement if another room were available for the class that is now housed there. The office of the superintendent should be sepa- rated from that of the principal as stated in the last year's report. Rest rooms and lavatories installed on the second floor of the building for the benefit of the high school students would help modernize the school. The high school library ought to be in a room by itself. At present this room is used as the typing room. As a con- sequence its use as a library is limited to only short periods each day. Since the heavy enrollment is now in the primary grades, a new teacher should be added to the staff in September. This would help to improve the service of instruction because each teacher would then
66
have a smaller number of pupils under her direction and could give more attention to each individual child. The general program will be aided greatly when and if the above suggestions are put into effect.
The school committee under its new policy of making some major repairs and improvements each summer vaca- tion completed the redecoration of the classrooms at the Helen E. James building. In addition to that work the corridors, floors, and rooms in the basements of both schools were painted. The maple floors in the Spelman annex were sanded and restored to their original beauty. Each of our janitors took part in the work in each build- ing and local labor was employed for the painting. When schools opened in September the buildings were clean, attractive and in excellent condition.
In June, two members of the teaching staff left our service. Mrs. Lillian Barber, who had taught grades 2 and 3, resigned. She went to teach in South Hadley. Mr. Joseph Crowe, who had been supervisor of penman- ship was transferred to a new district where he is or- ganizing the penmanship service.
The sudden death of Edward C. Foster in early December came as a great shock to all of us who had worked with him during the nineteen years of his service in the Williamsburg High School. He was a faithful teacher and loyal friend, who gave unstinting of him- self and his time for the benefit of the school and com- munity. His loss brought deep sorrow.
The vacancies caused by the changes mentioned above were filled as follows. Mrs Edward Breckenridge was elected to teach grades two and three at the Helen E. James School. Mrs. Breckenridge is a graduate of Westfield Teachers' College and has had nine years of teaching experience. She lives in Williamsburg. Mr.
67
Ralph Childs was sent by the Rinehart Writing System to do the work in penmanship. In December, Mr. Ger- ald Ritter of Lowell, Mass., was elected to teach science in the high school. Mr. Ritter graduated from Bowdoin College as a science major, and has completed his work for his master's degree at Clark University in Worcester. He had his teacher training at Northbridge High School in Whitinsville, Mass. These new teachers are well qualified for the work assigned to them.
The high school was organized for September as follows: Principal, Anne T. Dunphy, two classes in Latin, all guidance work; Mr. Robert Branch, four classes in mathematics and two in U. S. hisory; Edward C. Foster, five classes in science, one in world geography, one in junior business, driver education, one in local history, audio-visual education service; Miss Maria Lovechio, five classes in English, one in Speech, assembly programs, school publications, debating; Mrs. Frances Grinnell, three classes in typing, one in stenography, one in office practice, one in bookkeeping, school publications ; Mr. Earl Tonet, two classes in English, three in French. one in world history ; coach of boys' athletic teams; Miss Olive Healy, one in glee club, one in orchestra; Mrs. Ruth Mongeau, coach of girls' basketball.
The high school offers three courses of study in its program. Students may choose the college preparatory course, the general course, or the commercial course. The extra-curricular activities include boys' and girls' athletic teams, glee clubs, orchestra, debating, and service on the school paper. The school operates on a one ses- sion plan from 9:00 am. to 3:00 pm. The lunch period is twenty-five minutes in length. As much audio-visual service is supplied as can be obtained.
The grade schools at the Helen E. James building were organized with Miss Martha Dickerman as teacher
68
of grades seven and eight; Miss Nelle Dolan, grades five and six; Mrs. Dorothy Colburn, grades four and five; Mrs. Edward Breckenridge, grades two and three; and Mrs. Sophia Eaton, grades one and two.
The assignments at the Haydenville School were: Mrs. Margaret Trainor, principal and teacher of grades seven and eight; Mrs. Marion Hickey, grades five and six; Miss Persis Ritchie, grades three and four; Miss Mary Crampton, grades one and two.
Our supervisors of special subjects were Miss Olive Healy, music; Mrs. Olive Thayer, drawing; and Mr. Ralph Childs, penmanship.
The teachers employed by the school department have prepared themselves through training and study for the serious work required of them. They realize that the task of bringing up a child needs the best efforts of the home and the school, and they are always glad to meet parents so that mutual problems in regard to the education of the young people in their care may be satis- factorily solved. Such cooperative action will be felt in the better development of the school child.
The schools have been provided with the usual health services by our health department. Dr. Joseph Hobbs and Dr. Charles Wheeler have served as school phy- sicians, Dr. Glade Hall as school dentist, and Mrs. Mar- garet Madison as school nurse. The usual clinics have been held, examinations made, and parents notified of all corrective measures needed to keep their children in good health. Precautions have been taken to prevent the spread of communicable diseases, and the general health of children is reported as good. This department does its work carefully and well, and deserves our con- tinued cooperation and support.
69
The transportation of children to and from school has been the same as last year except for one change which was brought about by the passage of a law re- quiring towns in Williamsburg's classification to trans- port pupils to trade and vocational schools. As a result of this, arrangements were made with Mr. Henry Sny- der to allow our twelve pupils to ride on his bus to Smith's School. The local bus mileage has been 75.6 miles per day, and 160 children have been transported. This work has been done safely and efficiently by the owners and operators of our school busses who deserve our thanks and appreciation for a job well done.
The problem of planning for more room at the Helen E. James School has been in the hands of the Building Committee which was appointed at the last town meeting. This committee has spent considerable time in visiting new buildings in Massachusetts and Connecticut. It has studied the school needs of this community, and is now looking into the possibilities of a regional school to care for those needs. It has also employed an architect who has drawn up plans which were accepted by the local committee, but which were held up at Boston for the purpose of having us make a further study of the possibility of the establishment of a regional school here. These plans may become acceptable later if the regional school is found not to be practical in this area. In the meantime the need for more space remains as one of our pressing problems.
In the matter of financial aid the Williamsburg schools have enjoyed an enviable position during 1950. As will be seen from the table on "Net Expenditures," more than fifty percent of the money used for the opera- tion of schools came from sources outside the local com- munity. Some of this money came as direct "State Aid", some on account of transportation, some as tuition for
70
state and Boston wards, some as reimbursement for vo- cational education, and other amounts came as tuition for pupils from surrounding towns. Altogether the in- come amounted to $32,091.81. On an expenditure of $59,509.36 this left $27,417.55 which was paid for out of funds raised locally.
To the members of the School Committee I extend my sincere appreciation for their helpful cooperation during the year. My deepest thanks are also given to the teachers and all others connected with the schools for the splendid work they are doing and the loyal services they are rendering so that our American type of democ- racy may prevail.
Respectfully submitted,
L. A. MERRITT, Superintendent of Schools.

Report of the School Committee
Greetings :
We wish to extend to the citizens of Williamsburg, Superintendent of Schools, members of the faculty, and janitors our appreciation for their cooperation during 1950. We have been able to maintain the school build- ings in repair and offer services in the manner our bud- get would provide.
We have prepared the following schedule for the benefit of the citizens to show where the Williamsburg tax dollar is expended in the school budget. Items of re- imbursement to specific accounts are shown separately and do not enter the percentage figures. These figures are from the actual figures and receipts of the town using the revenue items of reimbursements as certified by the state.
Respectfully submitted,

Average number of pupils in system 379; $28,113.47 -: 379 = $74.18 per pupil cost raised by taxes. Town valuation, real and personal estate, for tax purposes $1,889,167.00, state equalized valuation $1,605,991.00. Appropriations to be raised by taxation $87,361.69. Therefore, $28,113.47 : $87,361.69 or 32% of the amount raised by taxation represents net cost to town of school system. Helen E. James School building is assessed for $50,000.00 and Haydenville School for $25,000.00.

School Building Committee
The school building committee has met approximate- ly once a month during the past year and has surveyed the school building needs of the Town of Williamsburg. It has found that additional classrooms are urgently needed to take care of the increase in school population as well as space for other facilities that are lacking in the present set up.
Preliminary plans and specifications were prepared early last year and they were submitted to the Massa- chusetts School Building Assistance Commission for its approval. Even with trips to their office in Boston and continuous correspondence we were unable to get a defi- nite answer until December 8, 1950.
The following are the proposals that the commission makes: (1) That a survey be made of the surrounding towns as to how much interest there is in building a re- gional high school. (2)That we build an entirely new building ourselves. This committee feels this is out of the question at the present time. The town debt limit would not carry such a financial load.
The surrounding towns are now being contacted and we are awaiting answer to the question of a regional high school.
The committee feels that the plans as submitted to the commission consisting of a wing to he present Helen E. James High School would relieve the present situation at a cost that the town can afford. When other rooms

are necessary there is a space at the other side of the building where another wing could be built.
The cost of these additions would be considerably less than the expense involved in erecting an entirely new building and at the same time would provide ade- quate facilities for carrying on a good school program.
I would recommend that a committee be continued as the need is evident and must be taken care of in the near future.
LEON R. McKUSICK, Chairman
School Building Committee.
