REPORT OF THE HEAD CUSTODIAN
I am pleased to submit a report of the Custodial Staff at Rutland Center School for the year 1964.
Our routine work has been performed with extra projects com- pleted as time would permit.
Repair work completed in the small building was as follows:
1. £
Painting of the inside window sashes in the entire building.
2. Varnishing of all the inside doors.
The fence surrounding a part of the playground adjoining the small school was removed. This fence had become unsightly and dangerous . Its removal added much to the appearance of the grounds .
With the opening of the new school building, the problems we have had with the old building will be eliminated, however it will result in added responsibilities. I believe that this transition will require adding one new man to our staff. I appreciate the cooperation received in the past, and look for- ward to its continuance in the future.
Respectfully submitted,
Lloyd H. Campbell Head Custodian

From: Neal T. Skillings, Principal
Subject : Annual Report, 1964
ENROLLMENT
The school population here at Wachusett continues to rise annually. As of January 8, 1965, we had a total of 1,551 students. This is 50 more than the 1964 figure of 1,501. A breakdown by towns shows the following: Holden 778, Sterling 290, Rutland 199, Paxton 166, Princeton 76, Oakham 32, Berlin 4, Worcester 2, and one each from Leominster, Clinton, Spencer, and West Boylston. We have one foreign exchange student this year -- a girl from South Africa. Class sizes this year are: Seniors 404, Juniors 378, Sophomores 398, Freshmen 371. Of the total enrollment, 747 are girls and 804 are boys. We are, naturally, operating under crowded conditions. Practically every available space is being utilized this year. We have six study hall classes in the Cafeteria each period except during the lunch hour. Other sub-standard areas which we have been forced to use for classrooms include: The Check Room, the Faculty Dining Room, the Bank Room, and a Library Conference Room. The Gui- dance Office is used as a study hall several periods as is the Nurse's Office during the lunch period. We badly need additional space in the very near future.
STAFF
We now have a staff of 101 members, 5 more than last year. These are as follows : 2 administrators, 4 guidance personnel, 90 classroom teachers, 2 librarians, 1 nurse, 1 apprentice teacher, and 1 study hall monitor. In addition, we have 18 cafeteria workers, 11 custodians, 4 part-time Driver Education instructors, 6 lay readers, 3 secretaries in the General Office and 2 in the Guidance Office.
Several changes, naturally, have taken place in the staff since last year's report. Paul Pothier has joined the Agriculture
16
Department as an apprentice teacher under the direction of our regular teachers. Another change in this group finds Frederick Warren as department head instead of G. Joseph Gribouski who has left the teaching field. Dwight Stowell has taken over Mr. Gribouski's former duties.
The Business Education Department has one new face. Mrs. Rose Houmere has recently replaced James Athanas who has gone into the world of business.
The English Department, as usual, has had the largest turn- over of teachers. New to us this year are: Michael Brooks, Mrs. Barbara Brosnan, Miss Beverly Christo, Frank James, David Patterson, Richard Smith, David Weinstock, and Miss Teresa Welch. These teachers replace: Mrs. Carolyn Browning, Miss Catherine Christmas, Dan Clemmer, Mrs. Susan Dunlop, Clarence Morey, who was transferred to the Social Studies Department, Geoffrey Sewall, and Miss Urve Virmastu.
One full-time and one part-time teacher have been added to the Foreign Language Department, Mrs. Julia Teig and Vincent Remillard. No other changes took place here.
David Bianchi and Raymond Ludwig have replaced Gordon Battye and Ronald Thompson in the Industrial Arts Department.
Mrs. Deborah Taussig has been added to the staff of the Library.
Leaving the Mathematics Department was Lawrence Bergmann who has been replaced by Ronald Hopper. An additional teacher in this field is Gurcharan Bhalla, an exchange teacher from India.
The Science Department lost the services of Mrs. Jacqueline Coolidge and Mrs. Judith Phelps, and secured Roy Baer and Robert Cahill.
Minor changes took place in the Social Studies Department. Clarence Morey was transferred here from the English Department and Vincent Remillard became a part-time teacher of World History.
Mrs. Betty Custer was added to the Special Education De- partment .
17
In the clerical field, Mrs. Shirley Bjornlund has moved from the General Office to the Guidance Office. Her position in the General Office has been filled by Mrs. Virginia Adams .

All in all, the year of 1964 was an eventful and profitable one for nearly all concerned with Wachusett Regional High School. We are justly proud of this outstanding school which is making a fine name for itself in the field of education. If we are to keep up this excellent record, we must have more space in the very near future .
Many thanks to all who helped make this a successful year.
Respectfully submitted, Neal T. Skillings Principal Acting Superintendent

WACHUSETT REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT TREASURER'S REPORT 1964
I. The Year Past
For 1964, our budget totaled $1,210,522, while expenditures totaled $1,159, 717. Our actual receipts from all sources con- siderably exceeded those estimated when we calculated the 1964 assessments . Thus, we closed our books with a substantial sur- plus. The final section of this report is devoted to an analysis of the Surplus Account.
Many interesting events took place in our District during 1964, but, confining our remarks to those of a financial nature, we note two: The Committee's growing interest in the development of controls which would assure complete return for every dollar spent and the adoption of a new accounting system, established by the Commonwealth. In the long run, this new system promises effective results, but, as of the moment, it reduces our ability to make detailed comparisons with previous years.

II. The Year Ahead
The budget for 1965 totals $1,241,330. This figure was arrived at after a series of meetings with faculty heads and the administration. While considerable paring of requests was made, the Committee and the present Administration feel that this Bud- get reflects the desires of the people of the District to have
25
the best possible educational system at the most efficient costs. The public must realize that expenditure of dollars alone does not guarantee "excellence" of education. It takes a cooperative effort with consideration being given to teacher, student and citizen.
The following tabulation shows the amounts appropriated for 1964 and 1965 and the amounts actually spent in the former year. It shows that the budget has increased approximately 2.7% while the number of pupils has increased about 3%. Salary accounts have been increased by over $40,000 or almost 6%.

IV Miscellaneous Cost Data
There is no reliable common denominator with which to measure relative expenditures for education. Once again, dollars alone do not tell the story, but Wachusett appears to be very high in expenditures. The following tabulation, repeated by request, allows us to compare the trend of our own costs.

V. Surplus Account and 1965 Assessments
Each year, there is considerable discussion as to the proper size of our Surplus Account. A logical question is, "Why end the year with a Surplus of nearly $100,000?" The basic cause is that we are required to certify to the member towns their coming year's assessment no later than December Ist of the current year. At that time, we do not know what our surplus will be after the books are finally closed. As a result, in the last three years, we have amended the assessments early in January. 1965 will be no exception as we increase from $20,000 (the amount in- dicated in the certification) to $80,000, the amount 1965 charges are met with a transfer from Surplus. This results in the following reductions in original assessments :

Conclusion
We wish space permitted a comparison of our budgets, teacher loads, teachers' salaries, travel expenditures, etc. , with other systems. We wish it were within our province to comment to "standards of excellency". However, all we can do is to ask that, in discussion of school problems, both sides be heard, that citizens seek the facts, and that all recognize that money alone does not assure worthwhile schools.
