Through Interested Community Groups
We continue to depend upon individuals and groups within the Masconomet regions for their unique contributions in making our total school program a fuller one.
The Masconomet Scholarship Association with the help of the Topsfield Lions Club continues to provide scholarship funds to help our local graduates meet their financial obligation for post graduate education.
The Masconomet Teachers Association likewise provided its an- nual Scholarship for a student interested in preparing for teaching.
The American Legion Posts of the three towns continue to spon- sor students for Boy's State and the Middleton Legion Auxiliary sponsored a girl for Girl's State. Both of these activities take place in June. The Legion Posts also sponsor the annual Oratorical Contest.

MASCONOMET REGIONAL SCHOOL REPORT
The parental support of our music organizations continues to be highly effective. The enthusiastic help from this group enhances our music program in many ways. Recently purchased Band uniforms were made possible through their assistance and the present project of seeking blazers for our orchestra is indicative of their willingness to help.
Early in the fall a group of interested parents formed the Masconomet Boosters which has dedicated its support to all inter- scholastic competition. Their support of the first night Rally sponsor- ed by our Student Council and their sponsoring a Football Banquet are examples of helpful projects. An All Sports Banquet is being tentatively planned for late Spring.
On November 7, 1962, the first edition of AIM (Action Inside Masconomet) was distributed to all boxholders in the district. This publication designed to convey information about what is happening and why certain practices are followed in our school program is being distributed twice per month with the help of Mr. Anthony Gangi, who allows the AIM to be inserted in his Penny Saver.
The school received, during the past year, the Killam Collection of Indian Artifacts. This collection was a gift of Mr. Cyrus Killam of Boxford.
Transportation
A new three-year contract to furnish transportation for the regional school was awarded to Basil S. Kinson, Inc., of Georgetown, Mass., by the Committee on May 28, 1962.
Mr. Kinson who did most of the transporting under the old con- tract was the only bidder. The amount of the basic contract is $216,000 for the three-year period and allows for a maximum of 65,340 miles during the life of the contract. Additional mileage required because of transportation for double-sessions and one late afternoon bus trip is provided at the per mile rate of 45¢. In 1962-63 this extra mileage amounts to 280 miles per day.
The Committee has been very satisfied with the way Mr. Kinson has serviced and continues to service our transportation require- ments.
The Committee also appreciates the fine job which Mr. Rodney C. Dresser, Assistant Principal, has performed in handling the transportation problem for the school. It has required considerably more time and effort this year because of the complications of the double-sessions.

The 113 members of Masconomet's third graduating class were presented their diplomas at impressive exercises held in the Henry F. Long Auditorium on Thursday evening, June 7, 1962 with Mr. Richard Cressey, Chairman of the School Committee making the presentations.
Ten of the class were elected to membership in the New Meadows Chapter of the National Honor Society, with five of these earning this distinction in their junior year. Of the 113 graduates, 23 were from Boxford, 32 from Middleton and 58 from Topsfield.

"NO SCHOOL" SIGNALS
Whenever it is necessary to cancel school because of weather or hazardous driving conditions, "No School" signals are sounded on the fire alarms of the member towns. Signals sounded at 6:50 A.M. indicate there will be no school all day for all students, grades 7 - 12.
If bad weather or road conditions develop during the day it may be advisable to close school early, in which case there would be no afternoon session for students normally attending (First Semester - grade 7; Second Semester - grade 8). Such notification will be given by sounding the signals at 11:00 A.M.
"No School" announcements are also broadcast over radio stations WESX, Salem; WHAV, Haverhill; WBZ, Boston; and over WBZ-TV, Channel 4.
