"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 16, 1952, and a report of its activities will be found on pages 324 and 325 of the Town Report for 1953 and page 301 of the Town Report for 1954.
The Central Junior High School and the Academy Avenue School were occupied by the students at the opening of school for the fall term on September 19, 1955. An Open House was held at the Academy Avenue School on Sunday, November 20, and an Open House and Dedication at the Central Junior High School on Sunday, December 4 ..
The Committee officially voted to accept the Academy Avenue School as substantially completed as of December 1, 1955, and the Central Junior High School as substantially completed as of January 5, 1956. Final pay- ments will be due on the Academy Avenue School as of February 1, 1956, and the Central Junior High School as of March 10, 1956. In both cases small sums will be held in escrow to insure the completion of site work still uncompleted. This will mean that monthly meetings of the Committee will probably be necessary through at least June, 1956.
Financial statements for both construction jobs follow this report.

REPORT OF THE RALPH TALBOT SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
Our Committee held its organization meeting on January 27, 1954, and a report of its actions through the year 1954 will be found on pages 301 and 302 of the Town Report for 1954.
Construction proceeded on schedule from the start on October 13, 1954, until the school was occupied by the pupils on October 31, 1955. Due to the wet conditions prevailing in the early fall, the final grading and seeding of the playground was not completed. The Committee has accepted a credit from the contractor of $4,200.00 for this work, and it plans to advertise for bids and let a separate contract early in the spring for the grading and seeding work.
The contractor's final payment is due January 14, 1956, and the Com- mittee has voted to hold $3,500.00 in escrow; $2,500.00 of this amount is being held until the paving in the parking area and hard-surfaced play- ground, which have many low spots, is satisfactorily completed, and $1,000.00 to cover the various minor items in the building still to be corrected.

REPORT OF THE EAST WEYMOUTH SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
The Annual Town Meeting in March of 1955 appropriated $28,000.00 for the preparation of plans and specifications for a new elementary school to be erected on the East Weymouth playground and authorized the Mod- erator to appoint a Building Committee of seven members for this school.
The Committee held their organization meeting on May 23, 1955, and scheduled meetings to interview architects and to visit schools constructed by the various architects under consideration. On July 6, following six meetings and three visitation trips, the Committee unanimously selected J. Williams Beal Sons of Boston as the architects for the new school. On August 22, the preliminary sketches and plans for the building were ap- proved. On December 7, the final plans and specifications were approved, subject to the approval of the State School Building Assistance Commission.
Bids were opened on December 31. Fourteen bids were received, and at a meeting that day the Committee adopted a budget, based on the low adjusted bid, totaling $548,000.00, with the net amount of $520,000.00 to be requested at the Special Town Meeting to be held on January 23.

Weymouth, Massachusetts February 1, 1956
I have audited the several accounts of the Treasurer of the Town of Weymouth and find all transactions duly recorded. The securities of the Town were examined, verification was made of all funds in banks with the official statements of all depositories, which satisfies me that the Treasurer has properly accounted for all funds intrusted to him.
