Report of Board of Health


The Board of Health submits the following report for the period from January 1, 1954 to December 31, 1954.


A Well Child Clinic was held in each village school.


Work was done in Haydenville to correct faulty drainage near the school playground.


The Board operated the Garbage Collection in accordance with the State cooking laws. Materials which won't cook, that are included in the garbage, have been a problem. The Board requests more care in this matter as damage to the cooking equipment will be expensive.


The Board has maintained careful inspections of our animals and slaughters with the able work of our in- spectors.


The eating and drinking establishments in town have been inspected by the Board.


The Board still finds that the dump is a problem child. Efforts have been made to find a good location to replace the Mountain Street dump, without success. We have employed a very able caretaker and have tried to limit use of the dump to townspeople during posted days and hours.


The Board wishes to ask all who use the dump to please dump over the embankment away from the road. The cooperation of people who use the dump, in keeping it neat and clean will mean less expense.

Report of Fire Department


The Fire Department of Williamsburg consists of two companies No. 1 in Williamsburg and No. 2 in Hay- denville.


Patrick Larkin of Haydenville was appointed assis- tant fire chief and Lester Wells of Williamsburg as Cap- tain.


There were 32 alarms answered as follows:


6 Chimney Fires


6 House Fires


11 Grass and Brush Fires


8 Calls to Haydenville Dump


1 Call to Tar Trailer


During the year, there were 22 fire drills held with the fire-fighters.


350 open air fire permits were issued. 225 bottled gas and 175 oil burner inspections were made.


The pump on the Williamsburg fire truck was re- paired. Four new tires and one 21/2 in. gate valve were put on.


A Reo truck with a 900 gallon water tank and a 150 gallon per minute pump was added to our equipment. This provides better fire protection for areas where three is little or no water.


The sirens in both villages have been repaired and it is recommended that a new larger one be installed in Williamsburg, at the engine house, in the near future.


58


The engine house in Haydenville is badly in need of extensive repairs. It is felt by the Firefighters that a new bulding, in a different location, would be practicable inasmuch as the present building is too small and is in a very poor location.


A needed roof ladder was added to the Haydenville truck, also two 20 lb. dry powder extinguishers for oil and gas fires. Five new fog nozzles for modern fire fighting were also added to the department.


Respectfully submitted, HOWARD SANDERSON Fire Chief

Report of School Committee


Greetings :


The school department has again accommodated more students in the past year than in the year before. We were faced with a first grade of 37 students in the Helen E. James School. Lack of space forced us to divide the grade into a morning and afternoon session. Trans- portation to take the pupils in the morning session home at noon was provided. This plan, a last resort at the time, seems to be working satisfactorily. Reports from the school show that more progress has been made in the first grade in spite of the curtailed length of the school day. This is an excellent example of the greater achieve- ment that can come from smaller classes.


We made unanticipated, extensive repairs to the heating plants in both school buildings. This expense, coupled with an increased number of students at Smith's School and the added transportation mentioned above, led to overspending our budget by $3,427.18. The bulk of this overdraught was covered by the Finance Committee and the balance of $689.64 was taken from the Collins Fund. We appreciate the assistance and cooperation of the Finance Committee.


This school year will see the end of split classes in the Williamsburg System. With the new Anne T. Dunphy School and a Junior-Senior High School system, we an- ticipate a continued improvement in our educational offerings. We hope to draw more tuition students from the neighboring towns.


The School Committee lost a valuable and con- scientious member when Warren McAvoy resigned last


69


August to become Town Accountant. Although we will miss his advice based on years of experience, we are happy that he is near at hand and we wish him well. Miss Eleanor Mansfield was elected by the committee and the selectmen to serve on the committee until a replacement is regularly elected.


Our relations with the Superintendent, school staff, and parents have been satisfying. We thank them all for their patience and support.

Superintendent's Report


To the Members of the School Committee:


The annual report of the Spt. of Schools is herewith submitted. It is the thirty-fourth in the present series and the fifty-third since the formation of the original school union. This is the second report since Southamp- ton and Westhampton joined us to form Union #58.


The great history making event for our schools during 1954 has been the building of the new school at Williamsburg. It will be ready for use in September 1955. The building is of cinder block and brick con- struction. There will be six modern classrooms for grades one through six, a large gymnasium-auditorium which will serve the community as well as the school children, a modern cafeteria, teachers' room, principal's office, a conference room, and the superintendent's of- fice. The gymnasium has been needed for many years. Now, our games, dramatics, assemblies, and graduations can be held in suitable surroundings. The building com- mittee of which Mr. Norman Graves is chairman de- serves a great deal of credit for seeing this project through successfully. It is a beautiful building of which the town may justly be proud.


The new building with the extra space it provides will make it possible to offer an expanded program of education and services for the youth of this town and the surrounding areas. The School Committee has voted that the six-six plan is the most desirable for our com- munity because it is necessary to have a six grade elementary school in each village. Thus it becomes prac-


71


tical to organize a Junior-Senior High School in the pres- ent Helen E. James School Building.


The program which this new organization of our schools will have will include the three courses of study now offered in our senior high school, physical education and guidance. The juniors, the seventh and eighth grades, will have a departmentalized program of classes which will include all of the present grade subjects in longer periods, physical education and guidance. The science classes will make use of the high school labora- tory. If it can be arranged with Smith's School, courses in home economics and shop work will be made avail- able and credits given toward graduation from Williams- burg High School. These changes will bring to our town more and greater opportunities for all of our young people.


There was only one change in our teaching staff at the end of the year in June. Mr. Raymond Drew who had served as the art instructor decided to give up teach- ing and devote his time to his own painting. He has since been appointed curator of the George Vincent Smith Art Gallery in Springfield. We were sorry to lose him. To fill that vacancy, Mrs. Richard B. Warren of Williamsburg was appointed. Mrs. Warren is a gradu- ate of Smith College where she studied art. She had one year of teaching experience at the Albany Academy for Girls. She is doing fine work for our boys and girls.


The high school was organized for Setpember with the following arrangement : Principal A. T. Dunphy, two classes in Latin, one in civics and local history, and guid- ance; Robert Branch, five classes in math., one in U. S. History, also audio-visual education; Peter P. Ball, six classes in science; Mrs. Lula Smith, five classes in Eng- lish, assembly programs; Mrs. Francis Grinnell, three classes in typing, one in office practice, shorthand, book- keeping and junior business, also school publications;


72


Earl Tonet, two classes in French, one in problems of democracy, world geography, world history, coach of boy's athletics, and driver education; Olive Healy, one in chorus and one in orchestra; Mrs. Evelyn Kmit, coach of girls' basketball.


This school offers a college course, a general course, and a commercial course. As a special, a course in auto- mobile driving is offered to young people who are near the age when licenses may be obtained. We are especial- ly indebted to the F. N. Graves Company who through their manager, Richard Graves, have presented the school a new car to be used in this work. Besides the regular work, students may take part in girls' and boys' athletics, glee club, orchestra, school plays and publications. The school is in session eight periods a day from 9:00 A. M. to 3:00 P. M. The tuition rate is $200 per year.


Because of lack of playing space, we have had to use the Smith's' School arena for basketball practice and games. Thanks are extended again to Smith's School for this help. Both teams have made good progress and have been well trained by their coaches. Here again, everyone will be happy to have the new gymnasium to use.


At the Helen E. James elementary school eight classes were in operation as follows: Principal Mrs. Edith Foster, grade 7; Miss Martha Diickerman, grade 8; Miss Nellie Dolan, grade 6; Mrs. Margaret Brecken- ridge, grade 5; Mrs. Eleanor Soden, grade 4; Mrs. Dor- othy Colburn, grade 3; Mrs. Gertrude Ramstrom, grade 2; Mrs. Sophie Eaton, grade 1, two sessions.


The Haydenville School had six rooms in operation : Principal, Miss Margaret Trainor, grades 7 and 8; Mrs. Marion Hickey, grades 5 and 6; Mrs. Priscilla Kostek, grades 4 and 5; Mrs. Ruth Nash, grade 3; Mrs. Doris Tilley, grade 2; and Miss Mary Crampton, grade 1.


73


The special subject supervisors were Miss Olive Healy in music, Mrs. Richard Warren in drawing, and Mrs. Elizabeth Koss in penmanship.


Our teachers are well educated and trained for the work they have to do. Each year they take courses in education in order to be informed of the latest methods. They are interested in the growth and training of all children under their care. This year they have had an- other successful year. Their splendid services are sin- cerely appreciated.


Our health department has had another successful year. It has been under the direction of Dr. Joseph Hobbs and Dr. Charles Wheeler as school physicians. Dr. Glade P. Hall has been our dentist, and Mrs. Barbara Swanda our school nurse. The usual examinations and clinics have been held. No epidemics have been reported. This department has provided good protection for the health of our children during the year.


Special mention should be made here of the long and faithful service of Dr. Charles H. Wheeler who has been school physician for 45 years. The schools and the town are grateful for the efficient manner in which he directed the health program at the Haydenville School. His fine work is deeply appreciated.


The school department has supported 33 pupils in Smith's School where trade training and agriculture are available. Smith's School is now changing to a trade high school with a four year program. With a few exceptions, these pupils are doing good work. Transportation by bus ticket is furnished to all who desire it.


Our janitors have given the usual attention to the school buildings. Both boilers had to be repaired, and are now in excellent condition. Conversion to oil burn- ing equipment has been postponed. The supervision of


74


buildings and the good work rendered by these men is sincerely appreciated.


The bus routes on which children have been trans- ported are as follows: the North District, the Chester- field Road and Searsville District, Haydenville and Mountain Street, South Street and Nash District. Tickets on the street railway buses are provided for 33 Smith's School students. One hundred and seventy-two elemen- tary and high school pupils were carried safely during the year. These local buses cover 75.6 miles per day. Commendation is extended to these operators for the safe and efficient transportation provided.


The preservation of the ideals of our government, of freedom under law, and our democratic way of life de- pends more and more on the work of our schools. The op- portunity for free education through the high school has become the accepted goal for all of the children of all of the people. This is the greatest undertaking of any nation on earth. Our hope lies in its success. May we all, dur- ing the coming year, work together toward the success of this ideal.


To principals, teachers, janitors, and all others, I wish to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for the fine way in which the business of the school was car- ried on during my illness.


I wish to extend my thanks to the Members of the School Committee for their cooperation and help during 1954.


Respectfully submitted,


LUCIUS A. MERRITT

School Nurse


Mr. L. A. Merritt Superintendent of Schools


Williamsburg, Mass.


Dear Mr. Merritt :


The annual report of the school nurse is herewith submitted for January 1, 1954 through December 31, 1954 :


Dr. Hobbs was assisted with physical examinations of all pupils in Williamsburg. No defects were found.


Dr. Wheeler was assisted with physical examina- tions of all pupils in Haydenville. No defects were found.


Four pupils were taken to the County Sanitorium in Leeds to be X-rayed.


Four girls and one boy were sent to Camp Hodgkins from Haydenville. Much physical improvement was noticed.


All children were weighed and measured.


At each school visit, a conference was held with each teacher.


Miss Sullivan, State Nursing Supervisor, from Am- herst has visited me several times. Her suggestions were most helpful.


Mrs. Foster has started a daily attendance book which has been most helpful in finding which child is ab- sent and how many times.


76


Most of the illness of the children seems to be the common cold with severe coughs.


One case of mumps has been reported.


Many conferences were held with Miss Harris of the S.P.C.C.


There has been a great improvement in the lunches this year.


Several children were treated for minor cuts and bruises caused by falling.


One pupil was X-rayed at the hospital and treated for a fractured foot recevied on the way to school.


All the children were tested for hearing defects with the audiometer. Several retests were done and these children finally passed the test.


Dr. Glade Hall, the school dentist, completed 145 treatments in Williamsburg and 138 treatments in Hay- denville.


Most of the pupils have been vision tested and sev- eral defects have been corrected.


Classroom inspection has been done and several children were given slips to take home because of dirty heads.


Sanitary inspection was done and found to be in good condition.


Many home visits were made and most parents were found cooperative.


In November, I spent one day at the University of Massachusetts learning about the change of glasses in the vision machine. The glasses or our new machine had to be taken to Northampton to an optometrist to be checked. This was done and they were found to be the required strength.


77


I wish to express my thanks to the Rotary Club for their purchase of this much needed vision machine, also to Mr. Merritt, all teachers, and Miss Harris for their cooperation.


Respectfully submitted, Barbara W. Swanda, R.N. School Nurse
