REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


A. Construction of the New Senior High School and Alterations and Addition to the Junior High School.


The School Committee are pleased to report that the new Senior High School and alterations and addition to the Junior High School have been completed in accordance with the vote of the town on October 21, 1935. There are a few minor matters left to be cleared up, but the interests of the town are amply protected by a mainten- ance bond, guaranteeing the correction of any defects due to workmanship or materials which may develop during the ensuing year.


During the interval between the town meeting in Octo- ber and the opening of the bids in December an unex- pected increase of several thousand dollars in the cost of materials made the bids higher than anticipated. How- ever, by making some minor alterations in the plans and specifications, affecting neither the essential type of con- struction nor its usefulness, the building was completed and substantially equipped for the appropriation voted.


The ground for the new building was broken Decem- ber 24, 1935; much of the cement foundation was laid in January ; the beginning of the brick work was delayed until March first due to the severe cold in February. The building was ready for use September 21, although not finally completed until December first. The dedication exercises were held November 16th.


Construction of the Building


The building as a whole is known as a fire resisting type. The old school is separated from the new by a solid brick wall, the corridors connecting the two schools by kala-


-10-


mein or fireproof doors. The entire first floor is cement, covered for the most part with asphalt tile. The walls between classrooms have wood studs covered with metal laths and plaster. The corridor floors are cement and the walls glazed tile or gypsum blocks. The classrooms on the upper two floors have wood floors laid upon steel bar-joists. The slanting roof is covered with slate, the flat roof with tar and gravel. The stairwells are brick and glazed tile, while the stairs are steel and cement. The outside walls are brick backed with cinder blocks thoroughly covered with a waterproof mastic.


Rooms


Next to the old Junior High School are six regular classrooms, two rooms for drawing, two for household arts and one for music. An additional manual training room was provided by eliminating waste space in the old basement. Next to these new rooms are the cafeteria, the double gymnasium with locker and shower rooms for both boys and girls, and the auditorium. Beyond these are fifteen rooms for the use of the Senior High School which faces Lincoln Street. In all there are twenty-seven new rooms for class instruction. The cafeteria will seat approximately 450 pupils. By dividing the Junior High School into two shifts it is possible to accommodate both schools for their noon lunch within about an hour's time. Other than the cost of equipment and that of light and heat, there is no expense to the town. Simple inexpensive nutritious lunches are provided with just enough profit to pay for the services of those who prepare the food. This room is reasonably well adapted for use for banquets by organizations in town.
