Masconomet's band was engaged to play for the Topsfield Memorial Day Exercises and this fall has appeared at all our football games adding much to the spirit and enthusiasm of this sport.
Our school was well represented at the North Eastern District Music Festival Concert held in December at the Reading High School, with nine students in the massed chorus, three in the band, and two in the orchestra. Several students from our three high school music groups ("Singers", orchestra, and band) have auditioned for the All- State Festival to be held next April.
A music parents association was organized this fall and has been active in sponsoring several money-raising projects to provide band uniforms and ultimately choir robes.

ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES
The past year has witnessed an expansion of our sports program both in terms of the number of students participating and in the number of activities.
In interscholastic competition both boys and girls had a most successful year. Our baseball team finished the season in a tie for second place in our first year of competition in the Cape Ann League. Our football team in its first year of playing a full schedule of games turned in the creditable record of 7 wins against 2 losses. The Cross Country team has lost only one dual meet in two seasons of com- petition. Our girls have likewise established a fine performance record in winning 90% of their games in field hockey, basketball, and soft- ball. Both boys and girls Tennis teams were started with each playing four matches.
Our fine athletic facilities have enabled Masconomet to play host to two multiple school events. Last spring an Invitational Track Meet was held with six area schools participating, and in December our gymnasium was the setting for the Cape Ann Basketball Jamboree involving eight schools each playing two periods of basketball before a capacity crowd of spectators.
An intramural activities program for 7th and 8th graders is carried on during the eighth period. In addition, a sports schedule is conducted for both boys and girls in the junior high school in all sports. The large number of students participating in after-school sports created problems of adequate practice space which were re- solved by securing approval to use the baseball diamond at the Howe- Manning School in Middleton, and the gymnasium at the Topsfield Elementary School for junior high boys baseball and basketball, respectively. We are grateful to the school officials of these two member towns for their fine cooperation in permitting us the use of these spaces without charge.

As their gift to the school the class presented a small weather station including an anemometer and a barometer. This has been installed in the main lobby readily accessible to all among both the faculty and the student body who have a continuing interest in weather forecasting.
The following students were given awards and scholarships:
To Emily Esther Thomson, the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award for demonstrating in the highest degree qualities of dependability, leadership, service and patriotism. Esther who represented the school last spring at the annual meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution, received a certificate.
To Douglas Peter King, the American Legion School Award for exemplifying to an outstanding degree the attributes of a Good Citizen - Courage, Leadership, Honor, Service, and Scholarship. The award, sponsored by the combined Legion Posts of Boxford, Middleton, and Topsfield, was a medallion, a lapel pin, and a certificate. In addition, in accordance with the plan adopted by the Legion Posts, Douglas (as a resident of Topsfield) was presented a $25.00 Savings Bond by the Topsfield Legion Post.
To Sidne Lewis, the Bausch & Lomb Science Medal for academic excellence in science.
To Judith Louise Smith, the Topsfield Lions Club Award for General Excellence in the field of Business Education. This award consists of a wrist watch and an engraved plaque.
To Douglas Peter King, the William Cargill Award for Excellence in English Composition. The award is an attractively bound book selected from among the best of the classics, works of reference, or the field of current publications and of special interest to the recipient.

MASCONOMET REGIONAL SCHOOL REPORT
The Masconomet Regional Scholarship Association, a newly formed group made up of citizens from the three member towns of the regional school district, established a scholarship fund for the purpose of helping deserving graduates continue their post-high school education. Funds to start this scholarship program came from two large gifts, one from a resident of Middleton, the other from the Topsfield P.T.A., and from the proceeds of a concert sponsored by the Association. The goal of the Masconomet Regional Scholarship Asso- ciation is to build up a sizeable foundation so that in future years all, or nearly all, graduates of the school requiring financial aid to con- tinue their schooling may be so assisted.
In 1960 the Scholarship Association awarded from available funds a total of $1,050 in scholarships to the following members of the graduating class: Janet Lane, Katherine Gibbs School; Shirley Paul, American University; Esther Thompson, Northeastern University; and Frederic Underhill, Boston University.
One of the on-going projects of the Masconomet Teachers' Asso- ciation is raising funds to award annually one or more scholarships to graduates, particularly to those planning to enter the teaching profession. Funds raised in 1960 from the proceeds of a variety show put on by members of the Association were sufficient to award one scholarship. The first Masconomet Teachers' Association Scholarship was presented to Linda Alice Johnson who is continuing her education at Boston University.
It is hoped that in coming years other community groups and organizations operating in the regional school district will give serious consideration to offering prize awards or scholarships to augment the present list. The administration will be glad to consult with the officials of any organization wishing to participate in the awards program concerning the kind of awards most suitable and the areas in which they are most needed.
In closing this report, I wish to express my appreciation to mem- bers of the staff, the sudents, parents, and School Committee for their cooperation during the past year. It is only because of the efforts and devotion of these persons and the continued loyal support of the citizens of the District that Masconomet has been able to attain stature as an educational institution in such a short span of time.

Federal Funds Received During 1960 Under Public Laws 85-864 and 85-874
During the 1960 fiscal year the Regional School District received $7,546.50 under Public Laws 864 and 874. These funds are by law re- quired to be kept in separate revolving funds to be expended only by authorization of the School Committee.
Monies received under Public Law 864 were on account of guid- ance services (testing and supplementary materials) and are to be expended for this purpose. Monies received under Public Law 874 were on account of citizens residing in the district who are employed on Federal Property or in Federally connected defense work and whose children attend the Regional High School. These funds are presently being used as matching funds to carry out three approved projects under the provisions of the National Education Defense Act, Title III (Science, Mathematics, and Modern Foreign Languages). Two of these projects are in science and the third is in mathematics. The largest of the science projects involves the purchase and installation of the necessary equipment to complete the fourth science room in C-wing. A total of $3,680.59 has been expended to date in connection with these projects.
