Future plans call for moving the present gridiron about six yards east and about ten yards toward the Nemasket River. Extensive filling on the visitor's side of the field will make ample room for more bleachers to be constructed later.
When completed Middleboro High School can well be proud of one of the finest football fields in our section of Massachusetts, made possible mainly through the effort of one individual, Henry E. Battis.
At the dedication a flag pole and flag were presented by the local Kiwanis Club and Mr. Battis was the recipient of a wrist watch from the student body and faculty of the school.
These words of dedication, I believe, express the sentiment of the citizens of our town.
"In appreciation of his devotion to his work with the youth of Middle- boro, his efficient and enlarged program of Physical Education, his high standard of true sportmanship, and his vision and untiring personal effort in planning and building this football field, the School Committee of Middleboro do this day dedicate this field as Battis Field."
Parent-Teachers Associations
During the year two new Parent-Teachers Associations have been formed, one at the Union Street School and one at the School Street School. We welcome them into our already existing groups of helpful associations for only by the close cooperation of home and school can satisfactory results be accomplished.
Leonard O. Tillson
In the sudden passing of Leonard O. Tillson, our town, our schools, ourselves have suffered a tremendous loss. A great teacher, he endeared himself in the hearts of all his pupils. An unselfish citizen, he served to the utmost of his strength his church and his community. At all times a gentleman, thoughtful of the welfare of others, it was an honor to be numbered among his friends.
For forty-three years Mr. Tillson has served as a teacher of our children. During these years 2,323 pupils have received their diplomas from the school he loved so well. More thousands of non-graduates have had the privilege of listening to his words of wisdom, sharing in his exemplification of character. Many have returned for words of advice and encouragement, seeking an understanding and sympathetic heart.
No teacher could be more loyal to the profession of teaching nor to the school of which he was such a definite part. No teacher could be more cooperative with the administration directing the policies of the school.
73
Exact in detail, careful in preparation, earnest in endeavor, he shouldered many responsibilities as junior executive. Whatever was undertaken was sure to be well done. He was truly a great teacher.
"Life's race well run, Life's work well done. Life's victory won, Now cometh rest."
Suburban Schools
Due to the small enrollment in the Green and Thomastown schools it became unwise to open these schools in September and the pupils have been taken into the grades in the central schools.

School Costs
We are all to apt to look at school costs as the total sum raised without stopping to analyze them in detail. For your convenience and information an analysis of our costs for the past year are herewith presented.
The total general budget expenditure amounts to $139,853.35. This is a large sum of money but when it is broken down to a per-pupil daily
74
cost it becomes a modest sum. For this analysis the school enrollment as of October 1, 1941 , and the minimum legal high school year of 180 days has been used.

This per-pupil daily cost is among the lowest of the towns in Group II or towns having a population of over 5,000. Parents who feel that the schools should do more than they are for the pupils should consider their desires on this analysis or support a larger appropriation. Certainly forty- five cents per day is not too much to spend in the education of our ch''dren.
Conclusion
"If we all agree that intelligent, clear thinking, tolerant citizens are the means through which we may hope to retain our democratic govern- me and American way of life, we should also agree that our public schools are more decisive than any other factor in preserving our form of gor nment."
of
. is my sincere purpose and earnest desire through the cooperation committee, our efficient teaching force, and interested citizens to Middleboro schools progressively better schools.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
January 28, 1942
Mr. Edward C. Peterson,
Town Manager, Middleboro, Mass.
Dear Mr. Peterson:
The following is the report of the Health Department for the year ending December 31, 1941.
There were only 33 more cases of contagious diseases during 1941 than there were in 1940. . If some careless parents had not sent their children out of their home to a party, the number of cases would have been reduced almost fifty percent.
Three children were sent to the Bailey Summer Camp and were there from June 25 until August 19, 1941.
