Duxbury High School Graduates
Although school buildings, the school curriculum. and the faculty are important and essential elements of a good school system; they are not ends in themselves. Rather, they exist to serve our young people in their efforts to get an education. Some aspects of their ed- cation are difficult and probably impossible to measure. Certainly such important elements as character, per- sonality, sense of responsibility and persistence to work at a task until it is done correctly do not lend themselves to measurement by standardized tests. But other fac- tors not so intangible can be considered. In this con- nection, then, it is important to see what happens to our graduates.
The statistics shown in the following pages indicate that most of our high school graduates go to some type of post high school educational institution; and most of these students go to four year colleges. For the four year period ending with the class of 1963, forty-two and one half per cent of the graduates went to four year col- leges. Another seventeen per cent enrolled in junior colleges Thus approximately sixty per cent of our grad- uates of the past four years are enrolled in four year or ijunior colleges. Fifty-seven and one tenth per cent of the class of 1963 entered four year colleges, while twelve and two-tenths per cent entered junior colleges. A study recently completed by the Division of Secondary Education of the State Department of Education showed that, for the year 1962, thirty and two tenths per cent of the graduates of all the high schools in Massachusetts were admitted to four year colleges, and six and five tenths per cent were admitted to junior colleges. Thus,

Duxbury with sixty per cent of its graduates attending four year and junior colleges is well above the state to- al of thirty-six and seven tenths per cent.
That the number of college admissions has been in- creasing over the years is evidence that our high school programis improving. For the four year period ending with the class of 1955, twenty-six per cent of our grad- uates were attending four year colleges and twelve per cent were attending junior colleges a total of thirty-eight ber cent.

One pupil is enrolled in a nurses training course. Nine per cent of the graduates are in the armed forces. The remainder (42 pupils) or twenty- three per cent of the graduates went into direct employ- ment. The following tabulation indicates their initial employment.

SCHOOL EXPENDITURES
School expenditures for 1964 will increase approxi mately ten per cent over 1963. The major areas of in creased expense relate to instructional materials, trans- portation, and salaries. Instructional expense, includ. ing salaries and materials of instruction, accounts fo 73.1 per cent of the total expenditure. This is a basic and fundamental expenditure, for, more then any other part of the budget, it applies directly to the teaching- learningactivities of the students. The expenditure for transportation, under a new contract entered into in 1 963 requires an increase of approximately $5, 000.00 for this service. As indicated in the summary financia statement a large part of the expenditure for pupil tran- sportation is returned by the state to the town. Reim- bursements from the state to the town on account of all school expenditures totaled $121, 891. 54 in 1963. This money is received by the town treasurer and deposited in the town E and D account. Thus, the actual cost of school for the year is reduced by this amount.
Money received by the schools under the National Defense Education Act has been and is being used to fur- ther instruction in science, mathematics and foreign language, and to strengthen guidance services. Money received under Public Law 874 has been and is used for necessary school expenditures thereby indirectly re- ducing the budget.
School budget increases, as indicated by yearly ap- propriation, from 1960 through 1964 are as follows:

Expenditures per pupil, not including transportation und cafeteria costs, have increased from $306.74 in 959 to $432.47 in 1963. The increased expenditure reflects increased school costs for instruction, for the operation of the new high school, for new school services und for transportation.

General Statement
The remainder of this report includes special state- ments dealing with the medical and dental health program in our schools, the school lunch program, and the Audu- bon program, school regulations, the school census, the school calendar, and a record of the 1963 graduation exercises. I recommend your examination of this part of the report.
Having a good school system is dependent on many factors. Of special importance are the attitude and con- cern of the School Committee. Over the years it has been my good fortune to work with excellent School Com- mittees. The present Committee continues and has fur- ther advanced the fine achievements of previous com- mittees. Its members are aware of the needs of our young people and are regularly developing policies and approving practices which they believe will insure the best education possible for them. Approval of revisions of the high school curriculum, the expansion of guidance services, the adoption of the non-graded primary school organization, and improved policies relating to teacher training and teacher salary schedules are evidence of this. For their great interest and for their many hours of work in behalf of our schools I extend our thanks.
During the year just closed we were gratified for the recognition received by our foreign language depart-

ment from the United States Office of Education. Dux- bury was one of a very small number of school systems selected by the State Department of Education for visita- tions by a representative of the National office. The visit was concerned with the effect of the elementary school foreign language program on the achievement of students in foreign language study in the high school.
We were also pleased to see our high school janitor staff receive special recognition for their work in main- taining the new high school building. A write-up de- scribing the maintenance practices in effect in this school was published in the 1964 Buyers' Guide, a monthly mag- azine of maintenance supplies and equipment. Head janitor is Mr. Michael J. Sheehan. Other men on his staffinclude: Mr. Carlton Torrey, Mr. George Watson, and Mr. Alfred Freeman, and Mr. Russell Edwards (part-time). Congratulations to these men on their fine work.
It was very gratifying to me that, during the year 1963, I was selected to receive the Plymouth County Teachers Association "Award of the Year" for leader- ship in the advancement of teaching. I wish to share this honor with the School Committee and all school per- sonnel. I am deeply grateful for their cooperation and support. To receive this honor from the teachers of Plymouth County is a kind of recognition especially ap- preciated by a school superintendent.
I join our School Committee in extending sincere thanks to all organizations and community groups for their interest and hard work on behalf of our schools. The many organizations which award scholarships, the Booster's Club, and the Parent-Teacher and Home and
Schoo are j thank

School Associations and the American Field Service group are just a few of the many organizations that deserve our thanks.
Iwish to express again my thanks to the School Com- mittee, to all school personnel and to the many cooper- ating organizations for helping to build a fine reputation for the Duxbury Schools. The problems of education are always changing and offer a continuing challenge to us eachyear. Itis my hope that 1964 will see us moving ahead to meet these new challenges as successfully as we have in the past.
