All auditorium draperies and stage curtains have been newly fireproofed.


The back wall of the High School gymnasium was repointed

TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


to overcome leaks during driving south and east rains to which this area is especially exposed.


The cast stone terrace wall betwen the front entrances of the High School was disintegrating, and this has been torn out and re- built with blue quarry stone to match the Greenwood Avenue wall.


The heating system at the High School was overhauled to the extent of testing and adjusting all steam traps, and renewing or adjusting such parts as were worn or not functioning.


Future Repairs


Repairs for 1944 should include the following, at least:


Rebuild the dry wells in the front yard of the Junior High School. The stone work within them is gradually falling apart, and they may soon become a possible source of accident.


Paint the exterior of both the Machon and the Stanley Schools.


Rebuild cast stone window ledges on the south end of the Junior High School. These are disintegrating due to the action of water and frost.


Finish redecorating Clarke School classrooms.


Commence redecorating at the Hadley School.


Resurface the Junior High School yard. This area is now of brick, and is rapidly disintegrating. It is rough and irregular. Any surface that is reasonably smooth will be an improvement. An ideal surface material, of course, would be of cork asphalt type, but this would be impractical in the particular area since it, is not de- signed to stand vehicular traffic such as this yard must bear.


For serious consideration as soon as the war has made materials and labor available, I call the following items to your attention:


1. The steps at the High School are made of the same cast stone which proved unsatisfactory in the terrace wall. The contrac- tors admitted unsatisfactory conditions and sent a workman to at- tempt to repair them in 1941. He was only partially successful, his work was never satisfactorily completed, and there seems little hope of adjustment now. Although the treads are constantly crumb- ling there seems little that can be done until the war is over except to try to keep them patched. However, I recommend that the pres- ent steps be replaced by granite as soon as it is possible to do so.


2. It is desirable that new chairs be secured for the Junior High School auditorium.


3. The cafeteria at the High School should be paved with asphalt tile as is the adjacent corridor. The cost of labor and mat- erials to keep this surface in condition with paint or floor surfacing for ten years will outrun the capital cost of installing such tile. The life of tile in such a location seems indefinite.


4. New stairs will be needed at the Clarke School. The present stairs are of maple which is becoming worn from constant use over many years. They are not yet a hazard, but they are approaching that point. Some type of metal tread probably should be used when. this work is done.


5. New floors should be laid in all classrooms that have not been refloored in the Clarke School.

6. The toilets at the Junior High School have been in use for over thirty years. They need a thorough modernizing.


Report of the Principal of the High School


You will be interested in the following excerpts from the report of Mr. Gray:


"Of the one hundred fifteen members of the Class of 1943, twen- ty-four are in degree granting colleges, twenty-three are attending other schools, thirty-nine are in the armed services of their country, twenty-six are working, and three have moved from town."


"The courses in aeronautics, the mathematics of navigation, ma- chines and electricity, nutrition and home nursing, and daily physical training for boys, who will become of draft age during the school year, are being continued.


In the social sciences, particularly, the problems of the war and of the peace are being studied, with their social, economic, and po- litical aspects. In fact, hardly any school subject can escape change of emphasis on account of the war."


Mr. Gray further reports that six boys passed the Army A-12 examinations, five passed the Navy V-12 examinations, and three have received from the Civil Aeronautics Administration their cer- tificates of Aeronautical knowledge.


Three boys enrolled in the Aroostook County Potato Harvest Corps, and were away from school a month in that service.


The Employment Bureau of the school has filled forty-eight of forty-nine applications for help from employers, and has written seventy-nine letters of recommendation.


War Casualties


, War casualties among former members of the High School now stand at nine, so far as we can learn. The following graduates are reported to have died in service in addition to those listed in former reports :


Oscar Colley, '28 Ralph Ciardi, '35 Charles Addison, '32 William Burt, '37


Ralph Knowles, '37


In addition to the above, the name of Armand Beatrice, who attended the Junior High School, should be added.


Changes in Personnel


Withdrawals:


Marjorie Chamberlain, Clarke School, to enter war industry.


Eleanor Parsons, Clarke School, to be married.


Shirley Lane, Junior High School, withdrawing from teaching.


Leave of absence:


Jean Allan, Junior High School, because of ill health.


Howard Batchelder, High School, to enter the Navy.


Elections :


Leonard Lorens, military substitute, High School.


Jean Mckay, building assistant, Clarke and Hadley Schools. Marilyn Francis, Grade 5, Clarke School.


Thelma Fitzgerald, English Department, Junior High School.

TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


Rudolph Woodward, who had been on the janitorial staff, died on March 14, 1943. Mr. Woodward had been in ill health for some months, and on leave of absence since early in the fall.


Dean Edson, Joseph O'Brien, Thomas McGettrick, Kenneth Cort and Edward Newhall have all received appointments as janitors dur- ing the year. Mr. O'Brien served but a few weeks before resign- ing, and Mr. McGettrick has been so seriously ill since midsummer that he has had to relinquish his position. The appointments have been on the basis of military substitutes or as the additional per- son made necessary by abandoning oil as fuel.


Athletics


The athletic programs of the schools have been carried on with- out serious interruption in spite of transportation difficulties. The principal handicaps at the moment are the lack of playgrounds and playing surfaces. The program at the Junior High School has suf- fered most from this lack. Each fall we attempt football and girls' hockey at both the Junior and the Senior High Schools, and we have but two fields available for the four organizations. With the primary interest centered on the High School sports, the Junior High pupils of necessity have to be worked in where they may. This allows little concentrated attention to be focused on them, and results in much irregularity of opportunity. The completion of Phillips Park will partially alleviate this condition, but not wholly.


The brightest spot in the whole program has been the success of the High School football team this fall. For the first time in many years we have been treated to a team that attained champion- ship stature. In the past we no doubt have had football squads that contained all, and perhaps more, potentialities than this group might have been expected to exhibit, but not for years has a squad so com- pletely lived up to its prospects.


To my mind, the success is due to three qualities which have been lacking somewhat in the past: first, a love for the game by everyone who was on the team; second, a football intelligence which resulted in carrying out assignments and in doing the right thing at the right time, without dissipation of effort on useless, if more spectacular performances; and third, an esprit de corps and a will to win that made individuals willing to forego their own glory for the sake of the success of the team.


In Conclusion


We are looking forward to the New Year with hope. We may attain no more than in the last twelve months, but we shall try. The teaching staff has carried on most loyally under strain and distractions, doing their best to maintain an atmosphere of normalcy for children and at the same time to perform their obvious obliga- tions to the war effort. Your own patience and support is most heart- ening to them and to me.


Respectfully submitted,


FRANK L. MANSUR, Superintendent of Schools.
