The mimeographed report will give you a more detailed report of the activities of our schools. These reports are worth your study. Once again, I wish to thank the School Committee, school personnel, parents, friends and students for their splendid cooperation and un- tiring efforts to make our school top flight. It is always a pleasure to work with such fine folks.

Report of Library Trustees


Doris Glabach resigned, effective March 1. Rose Koshinsky was appointed new librarian.


During the year, 140 books were added to the library and 59 withdrawn. Total circulation for the year was 4,537, of which 1,544 were adult and 2,993 were juvenile. This was an increase of 734 books. The summer reading program had 56 children enrolled, read- ing 1,226 books.


Repairs to the front step were completed, a small bookcase has been added to hold library records. A pegboard, to hold paper back books, has been mounted on the wall and new book shelves have been built-in along one front wall to relieve the shortage of space.
