B. Junior-Senior High School Girls'-Ardys Farns- worth, Teacher


Before gym classes begin in the fall, all girls are ex- amined by the school physician so that we may know of any who are not in condition to take the regular class work. Posture, poise, grace of movement, muscular strength, endurance, and organic vitality are stressed. To develop these we have posture exercises, calisthenics apparatus, tumbling, dancing, individual skills, and the various games and sports.


C. Elementary Program-Carolyn Parren, Teacher


The improvement of the playground at Hedge School has been very helpful in increasing the physical activi- ties of pupils during the outdoor season. Mt. Pleasant School has need of an assembly room. The outdoor play area, however, is spacious and the pupils receive a well-balanced schedule during the spring and fall seasons.


Adult Civic Education-Mrs. Helen P. Muthig, Director


An interesting class in Basic English was held at the Cordage Auditorium three afternoons a week. A dis- cussion group in Citizenship preparation met in the


-45-


office of the School Committee of schools on three evenings a week. There were twelve different national- ities in this citizenship group. It is our hope that their eagerness and earnestness to learn the history and the constitution of our country will help them to become in- telligent, participating citizens.


Pottery Vocational School - Katherine Alden, In- structor


The Plymouth Pottery classes have had their usual enrollment and interest, and have an ever increasing' waiting list. We feel that our pottery project not only interests the pupils attending class but that through the summer many tourists gain a valuable experience in watching the potters at work. The Plymouth Pottery class will be hosts to the Massachusetts Association of Handicraft Groups at the spring meeting this year.


Driver Education and Training-Richard Smiley, In- structor


A 1949 Pontiac sedan has been loaned to the School Department by Bailey Motor Sales, Inc., for use in driver training during 1949-1950, the previous car having been returned to the Pontiac Motor Company at the expiration of the two-year loan.


The following figures indicate partially the results of the course during the past year :


Number of pupils enrolled, 61.


Number of pupils passing state road test and securing operators' licenses, 55.


Average number of miles driven by each pupil during the course, 66 miles.


-46-


Average time spent by each pupil in actual driving, 71/2 hours.


Average time spent by each pupil observing driving of others, 18 hours.


As of June 1949, a total of 101 pupils have secured licenses since this training began in 1947. During the past year every pupil who took the state road test was successful in passing on the first attempt.

REPORT OF SCHOOL HEALTH DEPARTMENT


We make the suggestion that the reports submitted by this department for 1948 be re-read carefully. Cer- tain suggestions brought forth at that time are still pertinent and will bear consideration until such time as is necessary for their fulfillment. Other than the above comments, it is interesting to note that since the establishment of Parent-Teacher Associations at the various schools, parent participation has at last become a reality. Parent education is a vital factor in the attainment of any goal we wish to reach in our health work. Through these associations we are able to ex- plain to the parents their responsibilities in our school health program.


The usual pupil examinations were made during the first half of the year of 1949. During the fall months we have been experimenting with new suggestions by the State Department of Public Health, namely, that of allowing at least 15 minutes for the examination of each pupil with one or both parents present. This year we are examining grades 1, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 12, and plan next year to examine grades 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12. We are experimenting this year only with the girls. Whether we adopt this plan throuhout the whole school system in the future depends upon the parents' re- action and cooperation. Our rate of correction of de- fects is still very high and we expect it to be increased as time goes on and more parents learn of our plans.


The contagious disease situation has remained rela- tively quiescent, although for the past month there has been a moderate out-break of measles limited to the Manomet section of the town. May we reiterate that only


-48-


through complete understanding and cooperation with parents and teachers can we hope to maintain a high standard of work.

In Memoriam


C. Brooks Hudson served as a member of the Board of Water Com- missioners for the past seven years. Mr. Hudson was born Nov. 13, 1881, in Marshfield, Vermont, and was educated in the public schools there. In 1904 he went to Lowell, Mass., where he continued his education while working in a power plant as a stationary fireman. In 1912 he ob- tained his first class engineer's li- cense, and was employed as a power plant engineer in Mass. and N. Y. state prior to coming to the Plym- outh Cordage Co. as Chief Engineer in 1920. During his 30 years with the Plymouth Cordage Co., he was widely recognized as a capable man in his field and contributed regu- larly to technical magazines. He was formerly a member of the Board of Water Commissioners in the Town of Kingston, a member of the Church of the Pilgrimage and its Men's Club, a member of the Society of Mayflower Descendents, a direc- tor of the Plymouth Cordage Credit Union and its president for several years.


Herbert S. Maxwell served as a member of the Plymouth Board of Health for thirty-one years. He had also served for twelve years on the Plymouth Board of Selectmen and had served as a member of the Herring Committee.


Mr. Maxwell was born in Ogunquit, Maine, and as a young man lived in Dover, New Hampshire. He attended schools in Dover and was a graduate of the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Dr. Patrick's School of Pharmacy in 1904.


Following his graduation from the Massa- chusetts College of Pharmacy he worked at the Cooper Drug Company in Plymouth and later he opened the Maxwell's Pharmacy in North Plymouth which he operated for 33 years.


In 1904 he married Laura Manter, daughter of Police Chief and Mrs. Freeman Manter. Mr. Maxwell was a charter member of the Plymouth Lodge of Elks.


He served the Town in many capacities but was most active as a member of the Plymouth Board of Health on which he served for 31 years to the time of his death, July 1. 1950. He was a faithful and conscientious member of the Board, rarely missed a meeting and had a keen insight into the responsibilities of the Board and sound judgement in matters that came before the Board.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN For The Year Ending December 31, 1950


This report is a brief resume of the administration of the Town Government for the year 1950. .


In the interest of economy, it is requested that all department reports be as brief as possible reserving the most space for essential statistical records.


The records of the Town Accountant will be found in another part of this book which will disclose the expendi- tures by departments and with the exception of emergen- cies within the budgetary appropriation of the last annual meeting.


The cave-in at the Market Street Bridge was an expen- sive emergency but financial assistance from the State and County greatly reduced the Town's cost.


The slumping of a section of Water Street was another one and a sizeable sum was saved by the gracious services of a Boston engineering firm without cost to the Town.


Because of the extremely high cost of materials and supplies, highway repairs were confined to those con- sidered most essential in the interest of public safety.


The street lighting system was surveyed in an effort to better distribute the lights. Some lights were elimi- nated, some increased in wattage and others re-located to accomplish this purpose.


A change in the heating system at Memorial Building was made this year which resulted in a substantial saving in fuel, illuminating gas and labor.


The Police Department has efficiently served all areas


-4


providing police protection in a manner that reflects favorably upon the Town.


The fish ladder was carefully protected during the spawning season and a large run is expected this year. It is planned to realize from the sale of herring rights sufficient money to make it at least self-supporting.


The commercial fishing industry is increasing each year and it is hoped to improve facilities at the Town Wharf when financial conditions have improved.


Depending upon favorable action by the State authori- ties, substantial repairs to the shore line at Warren's Cove, White Horse Beach, Manomet Point and Ellisville Harbor are planned this year with funds already appro- priated by the Town and County.


Home Building continues to increase improving many areas that were previously undeveloped which will in- crease the revenue by taxation and also create a need for utilities and public service.


The financial transactions of the Town were checked by the State Auditors and found to be in good order. The financial status of the Town is sound and should continue to be so if economy is practiced by all departments.


The valuation for 1950 was $26,980,080 which is an increase due partly to adjusted real-estate valuations and new construction.


In summary, all departments operated efficiently and to the best of their ability to keep within their budgets.
