REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
In accordance with last year's report there was pre- sented to the Town at the 1928 Annual Town Meeting, a plan for an addition to the Junior High School building to relieve the congested conditions at both the Junior and Senior High Schools.
This plan provided additional class rooms, lunch room, assembly hall, gymnasium, and a central heating plant capable of taking care of both High Schools. It con- templated the continued use of the present Senior High School building for the three upper classes, with some rearrangement of room and improved ventilating facili- ties, the assembly hall, gymnasium and lunch room to be used by both schools.
The Town did not approve the project and it has, therefore, been necessary to operate the two schools with the limited facilities available.
The enrollment at the Senior High School, beginning with the current school years, is much larger than the capacity of the building, and prohibits operation in the usual way, viz., a single session from 8 to 1 for all four classes.
This has obliged having the freshman class attend in the afternoon from 12.45 to 4.30, the other three classes attending from 8 to 12.30.
Under these conditions the freshmen are losing more than 25% of what has been the normal time in school, and the other three classes 10%.
By overcrowding (some rooms having 45 or more pupils) the Junior High School has been operated as heretofore, from 8 to 1, but that condition is unsatisfac- tory, and not conducive to good results.
The situation at the Senior High School makes neces- sary some addition to the teaching staff, more or less
-6-
overtime for other teachers, additional expense for heat, light, transportation, and janitor service, and is general- ly detrimental, those who can least afford it, the scholars, being the chief sufferers.
The details of the situation at those two schools will be found in the reports of the Superintendent and prin- cipals.
The Committee believes that existing conditions are detrimental to the best interests of the Town and should be remedied at the earliest practicable time.
With this in mind, conferences have been had with Mr. Cooper and Mr. Stebbins of the Frank Irving Cooper Corporation, Architects, and Professor Jesse B. Davis, the authors of last year's plan, and they are now work- ing on a plan to provide necessary relief and some al- lowance for growth.
There is no appropriation available to cover cost of plans and specifications in such detail as had last year, but sketches with approximate costs will be presented at the Annual Town Meeting, March 23rd, 1929, and it is the hope of the Committee that the Town will authorize it to construct the building.
The preparation of the sketches and estimates involve no expense.
At this time the plan is not far enough advanced to allow detailed description. It is, however, a modifica- tion of last year's plan, enlarged to accomodate both High Schools under one roof and thereby overcome the disadvantage due to the necessity of Senior High School pupils crossing the street to use such facilities as the assembly hall, gymnasium and lunch room, and allows a six year High School unit under one administrative head if and when found desirable.
Mr. William H. Raymond, janitor at the Mt. Pleasant School, after many years of very efficient service, re- signed on account of poor health and was succeeded by Mr. Nelson Cushing. Mr. Raymond has since died.
