In accordance with Article 1, Section 3, of the by-laws: "Any town having more than 200 pupils enrolled at the Regional School on October Ist of any year shall elect one additional member at the next annual town meeting" - Sterling elected William E. Smith to the committee. Mr. Smith moved from Ster- ling in November and the Sterling Selectmen named Francis X. Lambert to fill the vacancy until the next election.
During the year the committee held 21 regular meetings and 7 special meetings in addition to numerous sub-committee meetings. Among other subjects, sub-committees studied and re- ported on the various aspects of the 1963 budget, the programs in Agriculture, Home Economics, and Driver Education; and the operation of the Superintendent's office.
The committee spent a good deal of time studying the in- creasingly acute problem of growth in enrollments, both at the high school and at the lower levels within the region. In ad- dition to time spent on this problem at nearly every regular meeting, six special meetings were called to study next steps at Wachusett. On June 7 the committee voted: "that the Wachu- sett Regional School District Agreement be amended to allow the District to be expanded to include grades 7 and 8, and that the necessary steps to adopt this amendment and the other amend- ments to the agreement necessary to make this amendment valid
18
be taken". The vote carried by a 7-3 vote of those in atten- dance. In view of the fact that the committee was not in unaminous agreement and in view of the many problems which would have to be solved in expanding the region, the committee decided to obtain the services of a recognized expert in the field of educational organization for guidance to the best approach to our problems. On July 9 the committee voted to hire Engelhardt, Engelhardt, and Leggett of New York to conduct a survey of the future educational requirements of the region. Dr. Nicholas Engelhardt, Jr. made a tentative report to the com- mittee on December 10 and at the time of this writing we are awaiting presentation of his final report on January 14, 1963. It is hoped that as a result of this report and the exhaustive study the committee has made that the Regional Committee will be able to point the way to the solution of the future educa- tional requirements throughout the region.
The Wachusett Committee adopted a new salary schedule effective January 1, 1963. This salary schedule raises the beginning teacher's salary to $4,500 and through additional increases and steps in the schedule raises the maximum a teacher may receive with advanced degrees, years of experience, and meritorious teachingto $8,600. Although the impetus to adopt a new salary schedule was due in part to the raising of the minimum by the Massachusetts Legislature, a major consideration was to offer salaries that will attract and retain quality teachers. We believe that the cost of this increase in salaries will become an investment in a higher quality of education at Wachusett.
Your committee wishes to thank the administration, staff, pupils, and parents for their cooperation in making Wachusett Regional High School a better school.

Subject : Annual Report, 1962
Enrollment
Student population at Wachusett Regional High School con- tinues to grow each year. January 5, 1962, there were 1, 303 pupils in attendance. January 5, 1963, there were 1,428, a gain of 125 students. Of this total, 746 are from Holden, 254 are from Sterling, 170 are from Rutland, 138 are from Paxton, 93 are from Princeton, 25 are from Oakham, and there is one student each from Leominster and Worcester. Class sizes this year are: Post Graduates, 5; Seniors, 278; Juniors, 317; Sophomores, 410; and Freshmen, 418. There are 744 boys and 684 girls. By using the 22 rooms in the new addition, we are getting along quite well without overcrowding. Only one period a day is it necessary to use the Cafeteria for a study hall. However, unless something is done right away to provide more space for the high school students, we will shortly be badly overcrowded again. The rated capacity of this building is 1,350. We, at present, have 1,428. October first, the enrollment was 1,441. Estimated enrollment (Dr. Englehardt) for 1963-64 is 1,532.
Staff
As the student population increases, so, too, does the school staff. We now have 2 administrators, 4 guidance person- nel, 81 teachers, 1 librarian, 1 nurse, 4 secretaries, 19 cafe- teria workers, and ll custodians.
As is to be expected, several changes have taken place amongst our personnel. Spencer Potter has left our Guidance De- partment to become Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Ser- vices. His place has been filled by Henry Miles, formerly a Driver Education Instructor. An additional guidance counselor, John Bigelow, has joined the department.
20
No longer with us in the English Department is Robert Barker, our very successful Speech and Drama Instructor and Coach of outstanding dramatic productions. His duties have been taken over by Richard Hayman. Other English teachers who have left are : Joseph Bates, Miss Carole Brown, Miss Elizabeth Mayotte, and Miss Mary Renaud. Our foreign exchange teacher, Miss Margaretha Knuyt, has returned to her native Holland and Albert Theriault has returned from there to his regular posi- tion here as an instructor in English. Other teachers new to our English Department include: Richard Antrum, Mrs. June Brady, Dan Clemmer, Miss Marilyn Lundquist, Geoffrey Sewall, and Miss Urve Virmastu.
Leaving the Language Department were Paul Dauphinais and Mrs. Roberta Grandone. Replacing Mr. Dauphinais are two cadet teachers from Assumption College. Each will teach here one- half year. They are Miss Ann Mullaney and Miss Judith Guil- foyle. Miss Susan Elms has taken over Mrs. Grandone's duties. Added to the department are Salvatore Sciarrone, who is teaching Spanish and Mrs. Stella Kuziniec who handles one class in Ele- mentary Russian.
In the Industrial Arts Department, we now have Gordon Battye and Richard Newell taking over for Augustus Luparelli and Leo Bachant who have left our system.
Miss Joyce Teir has left our Mathematics Department while Paul King and Wyman Lord have begun their duties in this area.
The Boys' Physical Education Department shows two changes and the Girls' Department one. Arnold Pinto, William Reynolds and Miss Linda Viarengo have left and have been replaced by Jean Morin, Thomas Snelson and Miss Beverly Gammell.
Frederic Robbins is no longer a member of the Science De- partment having been replaced by Miss Sandra Hartman. One ex- tra teacher was needed because of increased enrollment in this field and Ray Brackeen was added.
From the Social Studies Department, we have lost Miss Judith Grace, Constantine Mourginis and Mrs. Ann Shetler. They have been replaced by Mrs. Elizabeth Clemmer, Glenn Stratton
21
and David Tarkiainen. Frank Minasian has also been added to this department.

EVALUATION
Since last spring, we have been making a self-evaluation of all phases of our operations here. This will culminate in a three-day inspection by a visiting committee selected by the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This evaluation has to be performed by all public secondary schools once every ten years in order for the school to continue to be a member of this association which is the accrediting organiza- tion for New England.
27
All in all, while we will never be free of problems, we feel that our school is operating smoothly and well. We are proud of it and of the fine reputation it has earned over the short space of time it has been in existence. Many thanks to those who have cooperated so well and made this result possible.

(10) It is our belief that prudent fiscal management requires that a minimum amount should be available to meet possible unforeseen emergencies. Our surplus as of 12/31/62, at $109,779 appears large. However, of this amount $50,000 will be used to reduce the 1963 operating assessment, $6,584 represent receipts we expected to receive in

1963 but which were received late in 1962 and $4,500 has been earmarked to pay for a special survey. Thus, the true Surplus as of 1/1/63 stands at $48,695 which we do not consider un- reasonable for an operations budget of #818,600.

Although the books are not closed on the new addition, it is proper to report to the citizens of the District the financial aspects of this program as of December 31, 1962. Until the Committee gets clearance from the architect, we will not accept the building and make final payments. Once the building is accepted, we have to furnish the School Building Assistance Commission with a great deal of data before the Com- mission completes its determination of allowable costs. This cost determination certainly will not be completed before the third installment of State Aid is due on March 15, 1963. There- fore, we can look to 1964 for the first fixed installment.
It is interesting to note that the fully equipped building will apparently cost only 7% more than the original amount planned. The additional costs will be met by the $31,067 in- terest earned during the period and approximately $37,700 raised in our annual operating budgets of the past three years.

GENERAL
During 1962, as in other years we have received numerous inquiries from citizens and town officials concerning various aspects of our fiscal operations. We encourage all interested persons to get the financial facts so that they may better judge the efficiency of the operation of the Wachusett Regional School District.
