Mr. Reed is a great believer in the mountain climb and survival trips which are taken in the fall by the sixth grade. The children are sent out in groups and taught how to find their way back to a given point. They are equipped with maps, compasses, food, water and first aid kits. They are shown how to observe outstanding landmarks, flow of streams or rivers, and natural contours of trees and vegetation. These trips, which could lit- erally mean survival in an emergency at some time in life, are very popular with the children and are usually taken on a beauti- ful fall day.
Last year, more than one thousand visits were made to the health office in Hartwell School by children. Innumerable stomach-aches, headaches, nose bleeds, poison ivy (in all sea- sons), earaches, toothaches, bee stings, splinters, cuts and scratches are brought to our attention day after day. This might become monotonous except that there are variations in the theme, as in the child who swallowed a pin, the one bitten by a hamster, or the boy that put a tight ring on his finger and couldn't get it off. (It was sawed off by Hartwell custodian, Mr. Cuttle. ) When necessary, complete changes of clothing are pro- duced for small people who fall or slide into puddles. Penicill- in or other pills are given when requested by a parent or physi- cian, dressings are changed, cough drops are given for coughs and moral support. Tearful small boys, who don't always like school, and upset little girls, may rest in the health room and color a picture, play with toys, look at a book for twenty min- utes, and then dry their tears and go back to the classroom hav- ing forgotten their sorrows. Over all this , like a good angel, presides Mrs. Eleanor Tead, and she is loved by the children to whom she gives tender, understanding care in all their diffi- culties, and first aid for all their bumps and bruises.
Five hundred and ninety-four children were seen in Smith and Brooks Schools in the course of the year. When these old- er children come to the Health Office, they are likely to have more serious injuries, and to have temperatures and be really ill. During a school year when active youngsters are playing vigorous sports, there are always a few broken bones and
sprains. However, we are so near the Emerson Hospital and the Concord Medical Center with their first rate doctors and
168
equipment, that our troubles are very quickly taken care of.
During the month of April, I attended lectures at the Mid- dlesex Sanatorium on modern methods used in the control of tub- erculosis. In May, with Mrs. Stuart Avery, I went to the lunch- eon meeting at the Children's Hospital and lecture on "Over- weight in the Adolescent". Mrs. Avery and I also went to the meeting sponsored by the Massachusetts League for Nursing. The subject under discussion was "The Social Problems of the Adolescent". In December, Mrs. David Ammen and I heard excellent talks given by Dr. Alan Goodman and Dr. Bernard Zon- derman on "Hearing Loss in Children". This meeting was spon- sored by the Department of Public Health and was especially ar- ranged for school nurses and those assisting with hearing testing programs.
Again, as in other years, I wish to thank my splendid vol- unteers for the services they give to the school health program. Mrs. Stanley Tead is at the Hartwell School on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Mrs. David Ammen, Mrs. Gordon Don- aldson and Mrs. Rufus Grason have helped with the vision, hear- ing and dental screening programs. Because of their help, these programs have run smoothly and efficiently.

LINCOLN-SUDBURY REGIONAL DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMITTEE
James M. Jagger, Chairman
Howard W. Emmons, Vice-Chairman Robert W. Bierig Ellen DeN. Cannon
Virginia K. Kirshner
Henry M. Morgan
The principal continuing responsibility of the Committee during 1965 was managing the growth of the high school while maintaining high quality education under the established policy framework. 1050 students (the design capacity of the present building) entered the school in September 1965. Ground was broken in July for the second addition to the high school; this addition will increase the design capacity to 1800 students and will include a 900 seat auditorium. The progress of the build- ing is on schedule and is expected to be ready for occupancy by September 1966.
In 1964 the towns authorized an expenditure of $2, 500, 000 for constructing and equipping an addition to the high school. When the bids were opened, the lowest contract bid was in ex- cess of the authorized amount. Therefore, the School Com- mittee was forced to return to the towns for additional funds of $315, 000, and at special town meetings held on June 28 this amount was approved.
In the judgment of the Committee, the bid alternates for the site work including athletic fields and a 200 car parking area, were too high and were, therefore, eliminated from the origin- al contract. A redesign of these areas has now been completed and bids will go out early in 1966.
The School Committee is indebted to the Building Com- mittee for its effective management of the addition to the school. Its members are: Mrs. John M. Barnaby, Dr. E. Karl Bastress and Mr. William Siler from Lincoln; Mrs. Z. . Stanley Taub, Mr. Burleigh Cruikshank, Jr., Chairman, and Mr. Richard A. Schmalz of Sudbury. Mr. Siler was appointed in August
179
....
to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Richard C. B. Clark. Mr. Clark was one of the original members of this Building Committee and the Committee is grateful to him for his many contributions and services.
During the year, a comprehensive report on the school library was compiled from studies made by the administra- tion, faculty, and School Committee. The report recommends and the Committee has voted that an additional librarian be employed as soon as possible. It also recommends increas- ing the inventory of books at least to American Library Ass- ociation minimum standards as soon as practicable. Funds from the present building project and from federal govern- ment sources will be utilized to the extent possible. Copies of the library report are available at the Superintendent's of- fice.
The Committee and School Administration have been working on a study to determine the most appropriate organi- zation for carrying out the functions of the high school. Al- though the study has not been completed as of this writing, real progress has been made.
Both the communities were saddened by the death in October of Mr. Paul J. Vernon, Director of Guidance since 1958. Mr. Vernon was deeply respected by his colleagues and by Admission Officers across the country. His integ- rity in making recommendations on students won him this respect and enhanced the reputation of the high school. Once more we extend our sincere sympathy to his family.
Another loss to our school was the resignation of Mr. Roger T. Thurston, Vice Principal, to become Principal of the Marlboro High School. Mr. Thurston was a member of the faculty of the high school since it opened in 1956, serving first as a science teacher and then as Vice Principal.
Ice hockey was introduced this year as a varsity sport. The Committee believes that this follows a natural evolution of our overall sports program.
180
Everyone associated with the high school can take pride in another successful year. A key reason for the success of the school is the high quality and devotion of the faculty.
STUDENT EXCHANGE COMMITTEE OF THE P. T. S. A.
Joanna W. Crawford, Chairman
Three students were sent abroad in the eighth year of the Student Exchange Program: David Gardner to Italy, Lucy Herman to Holland, David Palmer to Norway. Four foreign students were invited to attend the Regional High School and to live with families in Lincoln and Sudbury. They were Nohra Facio-Lince from Colombia, Jaiprakash Gadgil from India, Guadelupe Moreno from Mexico, and Liisa Muukari from Fin- land. In accordance with our policy the foreign students paid their own transportation costs and the host families absorbed the living expenses.
We all know what a tremendous impact the experiences abroad have on the students. However, this becomes second- ary to the importance of the effect on the community as a whole with the need growing daily for mutual understanding of all peoples in a shrinking world.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
C. Newton Heath
Ten years ago our Regional High School came into exist- ence to serve the secondary school needs of youth from Lin- coln and Sudbury. This tenth annual report in the sequence, and my ninth, reflects continued growth toward fulfilling the educational objectives desired by our citizens and as set forth by the School Committee. The calibre of the faculty has been a vital factor in establishing a secondary school of excellence. As we began our 1965-66 school year the following members joined our staff: Miss Kathleen M. Abbott, Business; Mr. Fran- cis E. Bellizia, Jr., English and Reading; Mrs. Marietta M. Cannon, Mathematics; Mr. William J. Edmonds, Instrumental Music; Mr. John J. Hansberry, Hockey Coach (part time); Mrs. Judye Hartman, Mathematics; Mrs. Bryna P. Laub, Earth Science; Mr. Brian K. Lewis, Biology; Mr. Harry J. Madru, Art; Mr. Joseph A. Pacenka, Industrial Arts; Mr. Jerry Poz- nak, English; Mrs. Harriet J. Rogers, English; Mrs. Malena C. Schneeberger, French and German; Mrs. Rebecca M. Thom- as, English and Speech; and Mrs. Ana Velilla, Spanish.
As noted in the School Committee report, our adminis- trative staff lost the services of two of its key members this past fall: first by the death of Mr. Paul Vernon, our Director of Guidance, and second by the resignation of Mr. Roger Thur- ston, our Vice Principal. To partially compensate for these losses, temporary changes in personnel assignments were made. Mrs. Laura Pollock was assigned as acting director of guidance and Mrs. Betty Adrian of the English Department was appointed full-time guidance counselor. Mrs. Lydia A. Mailhot of Sudbury was assigned to the English position form- erly held by Mrs. Adrian.
Mrs. Frances Ness of Cambridge, Massachusetts, accep- ted a position as teacher of biology, thereby freeing Mr. Rob- ert Millett of his science department teaching to accept a part- time assignment as an assistant to the high school principal.

At the opening of school in September, 1965, ten of our previous staff members did not return: two left for profession- al improvement, five left because of family responsibility, two left because no position was available, and one was not reap- pointed. Leaves of absence were granted to two of our teach- ers each for a period of six months, to pursue further academ- ic study.
The construction of the third phase of the long - range building plan has been started and is progressing according to schedule. The policy of the School Committee, as approved by the citizens of Lincoln and Sudbury, is geared to provide add- ed space only as it is actually needed. This realistic approach to building the space needed for the educational program cre- ates a situation of some crowding for a year when construction is taking place. Certain phases of the educational program are not as ideal as we would desire, but all staff members are cop- ing with the situation to insure an adequate program for our youth. The following excerpts from the report of Dr. Leslie M. Tourville are noteworthy:
