TEACHERS' SALARIES
Both School budgets show a marked increase in Instruction, because of the recent State Law which increased the minimum teachers' salaries to $5,000.00, effective September 1965. To compete with other fine school systems it is necessary to have an attractive salary sch-

The Superintendent of Schools is continuously interviewing teacher candidates, both on the school premises and at colleges during the entire year. Our teacher turnover each year is similar to other towns, approximately 25%. Therefore, on the average thirty teachers are hired each year, either to replace members who have resigned or as additions to the staff because of increased enrollment.
At this time I should like to extend special thanks to Mrs. Anne H. Rimbach, who retired as Director of the Cafeterias, after fifteen years of loyal service to the Acton Public Schools and the Regional School District.
Mrs. Katherine P. Matsen, since 1951 a member of our faculty, retired this past December. Mrs. Matsen has been very conscientious and hard working, both as a fifth grade teacher and more recently as elementary school librarian.
Mr. Frank Wilson, a loyal and dedicated custodian at the High School, passed away during the year. We shall always remember him for his persistence in overcoming tremendous odds.
CONCLUSION
In closing I wish to express my appreciation to the School Com- mittees and the various town boards that have worked so closely with the school department in solving some of our problems. Also, a word of thanks to all the personnel in the school department who have work- ed long hours to continue to offer the best possible education for our students.

WILLIAM L. O'CONNELL

The secondary school curriculum seems to have undergone more changes in the past ten years than in any previous decade. The so- called explosion of knowledge, the dominance of science and technology, the need for greater international awareness and understanding, the pressures of college admissions, the constant barrage of criticism leveled at public education have been responsible for the curriculum changes within the secondary school. What changes are taking place at the Acton-Boxborough Regional High School?
A. Languages
1. Four years of French now available and in the next two years we feel that due to our offering French in grades 5, 6, 7, 8 that we shall be offering the equivalent of five years of French.
2. Three years of Spanish.
BS
64
229th ANNUAL REPORT OF
3. Two years of Russian may be elected.
4. We also offer four years of Latin.
B. Mathematics
1. We are in the process of making available Modern Mathematics to all students in grades 7 and 8.
2. All Algebra I students are now using Modern Algebra.
3. In the next three years, Geometry and Algebra II will change to Modern Mathematics Texts.
4. By 1966 we are planning to offer an "Advanced Placement" Senior Mathematics Course.
5. Department has had regular meetings to discuss offerings.
C. History
1. New Geography texts are being introduced in grade 7.
2. Problems of Democracy a grade 12 course has been changed to "American Government".
Our reason being that we feel that more seniors should take a course covering local, state and national government. We are also of the opinion that not all students should take the strenuous "International Relations" course.
D. Science
1. Modern Biology is being introduced in the form of the new Biology Science Curriculum Study Program and we have moved some of Biology to the grade nine level.
2. An "Advanced Biology" course is now in its second year.
3. By 1966 we hope to make this "Advanced Biology" an "Advanced Placement" course which will make it possible for students who are in the course to take the CEEB examination for college credit.
E. English
1. Spelling and vocabulary are being stressed in grades 7 and 8. We have purchased new texts in these areas.
2. Literature offerings have been improved and increased at the junior high level.
. 3. English department has been meeting regularly to evaluate composition work, literature offerings and grammar.
The improvement of curriculum is a principal's greatest challenge. Curriculum goals should be contemplated within the framework of school system policy and procedure and what is best for the students in the school. Changes in curriculum should not be instituted for the mere sake of change; for we must remember that they effect the students in our school.

THE TOWN OF ACTON
May I express my appreciation to Mr. O'Connell, Superintendent of Schools, and to the School Committee for their cooperation and faith. I also wish to extend my gratitude to the faculty, guidance staff, secre- tarial staff, custodians and cafeteria group. I consider it a real priv- ilege to be associated with a fine student-body.
Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND J. GREY Principal

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
January 15, 1965
Mr. William O'Connell Superintendent of Schools
Acton, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. O'Connell:
The annual physical examinations were completed in November. Special examinations for students participating in organized athletics were conducted at the beginning of the school year. Parents were notified of orthopedic, dental, and medical problems as encountered.
In conjunction with the Board of Health, clinics were held for Tuberculin Testing, Diphtheria, Tetanus immunization and oral administration of poliomyelitis vaccine.
I wish to thank you, the townspeople, teachers and school and town nurses for their cooperation and assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL P. GATES, M. D.
REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE from January to December 1964, Inclusive
The annual screening of the total student body for hearing and vision difficulties has been completed. Retesting was done on all those who failed the initial test or were questionable. Parents of those who failed the retest were notified by mail.

Genuine thanks are extended to Mrs. Larsen for the fine job of testing she did.
In March, Diptheria Tetanus immunization was offered by the Board
66
229th ANNUAL REPORT OF
of Health to grades 1, 5, 9 and special class. 384 or 51% of the eligible students received the booster. In November, protection was again offered to the same grades with the addition of grade 12, and 445 or 46% of these students were immunized.
Tuberculin testing, done during each school year, was not done dur- ing the 1964 calendar year. The last such clinic was held in November 1963 for grades 1, 4, 7 and 11; and the next is scheduled for March 1965.
Two Pre-School clinics were held during April. Of approximately 330 children to begin first grade in September, 85 received the physical examination by the school physician, Dr. Paul Gates.
Beginning the first full week of school and continuing into early November, Dr. Gates examined candidates for competitive athletics, including cheerleading, all students in grades 4, 7 and 10, and also those students who had not had an examination in the past three years. As required by law, parents were notified of any medical or dental defect. In addition, a special clinic was held August 26, at which time students wishing to participate in football practice the week prior to the open- ing of school, were examined by Dr. Gates. A total of 1160 pupils were examined.
During the past year daily visits to the three schools have covered sickness, communicable disease check and accidents. Of 277 reported accidents, 93 were covered by school insurance.
With nearly 3000 students, an effective health program is far from being a one person job. The secretaries in the several schools - Mrs. Hansen, Mrs. Ott and Mrs. Lewis have given invaluable help as First- Aiders, as did Mrs. Johnston before her transfer from the Health Office. Thanks also are extended to the administration, Dr. Gates and Mrs. Hale, whose help and cooperation have greatly contributed to a sound health program for the students of this community.
Respectfully submitted,
JANET B. LOUGHLIN, R. N.
