88 9-12 " 11 11 1955-56-$426.47


2. Physical condition of buildings and site.


The grounds have been improved this past year. The Building Committee and the School Committee, working together, voted to have an area adjacent to the two buildings hottopped. They also had an area loamed and seeded. This work was done through the cooperation of George Willis, Superintendent of the road department, and of George Smith & Raymond Putnam, who deserve our sincere appreciation. Through this interdepartment co- operation the town was saved several hundreds of dollars.


Two of the rooms in the annex were exteriorly painted. These rooms were not in the new addition.


Industrial arts benches have been installed in one of the base- ment rooms in the main building. Several small woodworking tools have been purchased. Classes in woodworking have been offered to boys in grades seven and eight.


Swings and slides have been purchased for the playground and will be installed in the spring.


The gymnasium floor has been sanded and treated. Several desks have been refinished.


Fifty-eight window shades have been replaced ›

3. Educational Accomplishments.


A new arithmetic and social science series have been adopted in the Union. New books are being purchased to replace the outdated ones .


Supplementary books for classroom use have been purchased for the teachers. Two hundred dollars has been set aside for this purpose for several years.


Mental maturity and achievement tests have been given. These tests aid teachers in presenting subject matter to the pupils.


An additional instructor has been elected to the music de- partment. This has made possible a program of instrumental music. Thirty (30) pupils are taking group instrumental lessons .


An additional nurse was elected and began work this past August. It is hoped that with two nurses serving the schools of the Union the school health program may be expanded .


The leadership that Raymond Bogosian, the Principal, has given the teachers and pupils has raised the standards of the school in many ways. The staff deserves credit for its work in preparing the pupils for secondary schools. Several Rutland students have made the high school honor roll.


Several workshops for teachers have been held during the year. The school committee has attended state and area conferences which give the committee members information on procedures in other towns. Superintendent Buker is a member of a state committee and also has been appointed by Governor Herter to a Special Commission to study State Aid for schools.

Not a voting member


During the year the Committee held 13 regular meetings and 5 special meetings.


12


Your Committee has been faced with many problems and decisions this year that will affect your schools for sometime to come. It is our heartfelt wish that our decisions will result in better education and better schools.


One of the biggest problems is the creation of conditions which will be attractive to the teaching staff. It is our hope that by setting an attractive and fair pay scale and by recog- nizing the value of the work being done by the teachers we can help to create a professional atmosphere conducive to their remaining with us for a long period of time. To this end the Committee spent some time at 14 of its 18 meetings as well as much time on the part of some members in subcommittee meetings on salaries and working conditions. The changes approved are shown in the Superintendent's report.


Another most pressing matter is the planning of adequate facilities for our expanding school population. The Committee spent time at five of its meetings on choosing an architect to draw up preliminary plans and time at ten meetings on the dis- cussion of the proposed addition. Committee members also spent considerable time in subcommittee meetings, in inspecting other school plants, and in meeting with the State School Building Assistance Commission in Boston.


Work on this project is continuing.


School finances were of course high in importance on our agenda. Expenses were approved at all regular meetings, and some phase of budget matters was discussed at twelve of our meetings .


Certain phases of the educational program were reviewed by Committee and Administration with policy decisions which resulted in:


(1) Expanded driver education.


(2) A basis for teaching of physically handicapped children at home .


(3) An expanded guidance program.


13


Custodians' salaries and working conditions were reviewed and improvements made .


A change was made in the District by-laws which allows a noncommittee member to hold the treasurer's job if the Committee deems it advisable and so votes.


The adult education program was continued and has been proved worthwhile by the large response from the towns. The details of its operation (subject to committee approval) have been in the hands of a very competent adult education advisory committee.


The Committee expressed its approval of the school cafeteria lunch program. It noted that over 93,000 meals were served at a cost of approximately $44,000. More than 60% of the pupils eat here. About half the cost of the meals is borne by the state, the rest being paid by the pupils.


The purchase of a few items of new equipment was approved by the Committee. This was necessitated by the increased en- rollment and was for the cafeteria and industrial arts areas.


The Committee joined the Area 4District of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees in order that its members be informed of statewide committee activities.


The Committee appreciates the cooperation of the school administration, staff, pupils and parents in making ours a better High School.


Respectfully submitted,


NELSON M. CALKINS, JR. Secretary

Unusual Expenditures during 1956 were Architect's Fees, Snow Removal, Fuel and General Supplies.


The District Committee has had preliminary plans drawn up for adding to the present High School building. However, the State Building Assistance Commission has suggested that the District Committee make a study of Regional Junior High Schools before any further consideration is given to an addition to the pres- ent High School building.


The District Committee and the School Committees of the five (5) member towns will hold a joint meeting on January 14, at the High School, to discuss Regional Junior High Schools.


Operating Budget - Wachusett Regional School District - 157


$ 395,400.00 This represents an increase of $35,380.00 over 1956.


The increase is due largely to the increase in salaries for the school year 1957-58.


The Salary Schedule, beginning September 1957 will range


$3,550.00 - $5,200.00 (A.B. or B.S.) 3,750.00 - 5,400.00 (M.A.) fro :. 1.


Twenty-Seven (27) teachers are receiving from $50.00 to $500.00 for work beyond the regular school Day. The additional amount is $6,150.00 per year.


During the year there were six (6) teachers added to the staff and fifteen (15) teachers replaced. There will always be changes, but I trust the number will be less during the com- ing year.


The Adult Education Program continues to serve the resident of the District.


16


An Evening Course in Agriculture is being offered to those interested.


The District is very fortunate to have W. Goulding Warren for the Treasurer .


The Teachers, Administrative Staff, and the Committee are endeavoring to serve the students and citizens in an efficient manner .


May I express my sincere appreciation for the cooperation received during the past year from the Staff, Committee and Citizens.


WILLIAM H. BUKER Superintendent

WACHUSETT REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT


TO: Superintendent William H. Buker and the members of the Wachusett Regional School District Committee .


Enrollment & Staff


In its third year of operation the school finds itself with 959 students as of January 3, 1957. Two of these students are taking post-graduate work. Six more teachers were added to the staff in September, 1956, making 59 on the faculty. The addition of Edmund Kelsey to the Guidance staff has helped some to relieve the excessive load in that area, as he has worked primarily with Seniors, but at least one more person is needed in Guidance. Charles Bartlett, the Guidance Director, has made many valuable contacts with business and industry as well as laying the foundation for a sound testing program. The loss of Charles Johnson as Assistant Principal was severe, but Charles LaPrade, having been moved from the Science Department to the Assistant Principalship, has taken hold of the work admirably. The granting of a second instructor in Driver Education by the Committee has made it possible to handle 107 students in the first semester, as compared with 104 for the entire previous year. It is hoped that by continuing the pro- gram in this way, we may get to the point where we can offer Driver Education to the majority of students as they become 16.


Although the opening of West Boylston High School in the fall of 1957 will bring about a heavy loss in income from tui- tions, yet the additional space thereby made available will be needed by students of the Regional District. If the growth of the pupil population of the District does not increase unex- pectedly, there should be about 985 students in 1957-58. From 1957 on, however, enrollments in the schools of the towns of the District indicate a steady, strong increase in enrollment in the high school. This situation makes it mandatory that some plan providing for the education of secondary school stu- dents be developed and put into action without delay or else the school will be faced first with curtailment of offerings and then with double sessions. Such a plan should take into


18


account the educational needs of the students as well as the cost to the taxpayers of the Regional District.

Evaluative Criteria


The New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, of which this school is a member, sponsors a program of self-evaluation followed by evaluation by a visiting com- mittee. The staff is currently starting on its self-evaluation, and the visiting committee will come some time in 1958. The purpose of the program is the improvement of secondary education resulting from a very careful study of eight Major Areas (Pupil Population and School Community, Educational Needs of Youth Program of Studies, Pupil Activity Program, Library Services , Guidance Services, School Plant, and School Staff & Administra- tion) as well as specific study of 14 Subject Matter Areas. The carrying out of this program will entail a tremendous amount of extra work on the part of all staff members, but from my own experience I know that the whole procedure will be exceedingly valuable == to the students, to the faculty, and to the communi- ties served by this school.


Miss Ada L. Carlson


The sudden passing of Miss Ada L. Carlson, our Librarian, on January 3, 1957, brought deep grief to our hearts. Beloved and respected by students and faculty alike, she had given her whole life to teaching young people how to use books, as well as encouraging them to learn to love and enjoy them. The Wachusett


20


Regional High School was extremely fortunate to have had her help not only in the original establishment of the Library, but also as its Librarian since 1955.


In conclusion, I should like to express my sincere appre- ciation of the help that has come so willingly from all with whom I have worked during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


GORDON M. THOMAS Principal
