27
20 Assisting in choosing the regular and special teachers, and other members of the staff.
3. Enrolling students for 1954-55.

6. Speaking to various groups, upon invitation, about the Regional High School.
The major tasks remaining are:

2。 Completing the school staff.
3. Setting up the daily program.
4. Seeing to it that textbooks and equipment are available for the operation of the school.
5. Seeing to it that school organization is ready for the opening in September 1954.
A fine start has been made in selecting the staff with the election and acceptance of the following:

Because of the problems that go along with the opening of an entirely new school, it is planned to hold a two weeks' Workshop from August 16-28 for all staff members.
Only very rarely is the opportunity given to a man to work on setting up a completely new high school, and I am not only humbly grateful for that opportunity but am also extremely enthusiastic about the whole undertaking. I am also deeply appreciative of the friendly cooperation and understanding that have been a part of my working relationships with Committee, Superintendent Lawrence A. Fogg, and Superintendent William H. Buker.
May the leadership of the Wachusett Regional School District make it possible to have a school of which the citizens will be proud, to which the students will go with pleasure and a sense of purpose, and toward which all people may look for exemplary ideals and practices.
Respectfully submitted,
Gordon M. Thomas, Principal

REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Rutland:
The Board of Selectmen organized for 1954 with Frank J. Brooks, Chairman; Lloyd H. Campbell, Clerk; and James L. Wood, the third member.
Regular meetings were held every two weeks on Monday evenings.
During the year a new police cruiser equipped with two-way radio connection with the State Police system was placed in op- eration and is provingto be of great value in police department work.
There was also a new piece of fire apparatus added which gives the town much better fire protection.
At the coming town meeting we are requesting the purchase of a new truck for the highway department. The present equip- ment is in gradual need of replacement and a new power grader should be considered in the near future.
Completion of Chapter 90 construction on Pommogussett Road is planned during 1955, as well as continuation of the Maple Avenue drainage project.
A committee to draft a set of building regulations, as authorized by the last annual town meeting, was appointed and has spent a great amount of time setting up a building code which will be submitted for approval at a town meeting on a later date.
We wish to thank this committee and also the school building committee for their sacrifice of many hours spent without finan- cial compensation in the service of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
