THE CROSS OF GRAY


Dedicated to the late Frederick W. Hilton


Mid Weymouth High's soft lawns and pines A cross of fairest gray Stands sentry o'er the youthful lines That pass him day by day. He teaches in his gentle way That spirit cannot die! "Pro Patria!" we hear him say, "Means love for Weymouth High!"


Staunch stands the watch of Weymouth High And gives for our brave dead These simple passwords to the hill Where Weymouth's men are bred. We love thee! Alma Mater! Oh let the years roll by! Our song we raise! Loud rings the praise! Of grand old Weymouth High!

REPORT OF THE CENTRAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND ACADEMY AVENUE SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE


Our Committee held its organization meeting on September 16th, 1952 and a report of its action through the year 1953 will be found on pages 324 and 325 of the Town Report for 1953.


An appropriation of $538,500 for the erection of the Academy Avenue School was made at the Annual Town Meeting in 1954 and on March 12th the contract was awarded to the low bidder, the Louis Proia Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $477,082.60. Work started late in March and due to continued delays in receiving materials the job has progressed very slowly. It had been hoped that the school could be occupied in the spring of 1955 but it will not be ready until the opening of school in Sep- tember.


Construction of the Central Junior High School was begun on Novem- ber 17, 1953 and the contractor has made excellent progress. The building is completely erected and interior finishing should be fully completed by July, permitting ample time for the installation of equipment and furni- ture before the opening of school on September 7th, 1955.

REPORT OF THE RALPH TALBOT STREET SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE


The Special Town Meeting held on November 9, 1953 appropriated $28,000 for the preparation of plans and specifications for a new school off Ralph Talbot Street across from the Weymouth Fair Grounds and au- thorized the Moderator to appoint a Building Committee of seven mem- bers for this school.


The Committee held their organization meeting on January 27, 1954 and scheduled meetings to interview architects and to visit schools con- structed by the various architects under consideration. On March 23rd the firm of Collens, Willis, & Beckonert of Boston was selected as the ar- chitects for the new school. On May 27th the preliminary sketches and plans for the building were approved. On August 12th the final plans and specifications were approved, subject to the approval of the State School Building Assistance Commission. Bids were opened on September 15th and a budget adopted on the basis of the low bid to be presented to the Appropriation Committee.


301


At the Special Town Meeting held on October 4th, 1954 an appropria- tion of $519,300 was Voted for the construction of the school. On October 11th the contract was awarded to the low bidder, Leonard Rugo, Inc. of Boston in the amount of $469,400. The construction of the school was begun on October 13th.


An alternate was included in the bids for the construction of a septic tank and sewerage disposal field to be used if the Town Meeting did not appropriate money for the extension of the town sewerage lines to the school site. The October Special Meeting appropriated $142,000 to be raised by a bond issue for the construction of the sewer line. As a result, the al- ternate in the amount of $4,900 for the construction of the sewerage dis- posal facilities for the school was omitted from the contract. Later it was found it was not possible to borrow further money under the Sewer Loan Act of 1945, as the Town had previously borrowed all the funds originally authorized. When a second Special Town Meeting called to re-appropriate the necessary funds adjourned because of the lack of a quorum, the Build- ing Committee were faced with the necessity of again planning a sewer- age disposal system for the school.


The Committee's engineers had secured the customary tentative ap- proval of the State Department of Health for the disposal system plans on which the alternate bid was received. These plans were based on the ground water level and soil conditions shown by the borings taken on July 15, 1954. When the State authorities inspected the site in November after construction had started they found a much higher ground water level due to the 23 inches of excess rainfall during the year. As a result, they revised their requirements and new plans are being prepared to meet the State Department's specifications. The changes required are as fol- lows: (1) raising the disposal field in order to place it above the ground water level in a year of excessive rainfall such as 1954, (2) the installation of a pump to raise the sewerage to the higher field, (3) the installation of a concrete septic tank in place of a metal tank.


The cost of the revised sewerage disposal plans will be secured before the annual Town Meeting and an appropriation requested at that Meeting to supplement the $4,900 originally appropriated for this purpose.


Construction of the school is proceeding nearly on schedule, although some delay occurred due to the wet condition of the site during the fall months. The Committee has held 20 meetings during the year.
