Since our staff has been reduced from seven full time clerks and one part time clerk, to two clerks, you will readily under- stand the job they have in serving a town the size of Southbridge. However, we will endeavor to give the citizens of the town the same courteous treatment they have received in the past. Many tele- phone calls have been made to our Boston office where immediate information was needed. This we are glad to do.
During the past week we have moved from Memorial Hall to rooms 12 and 13 formerly occupied by the Road Commissioners and the Sewer Commissioners.
In closing we wish to thank the members of the various patriotic Organizations who so kindly gave us the use of their rooms, the Road and Sewer Commissioners for the present use of their quarters, to the Police Department for their assistance in protecting our ration currency during the entire rationing program, to the volun- teers who have helped and are still working for our price program.
Our panel members and chief clerk join with me in thanking the Board of Selectmen and the citizens of Southbridge for their splen- did cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE W. LOUGHNANE

SWIMMING POOL COMMITTEE REPORT
Board of Selectmen Southbridge, Mass.
Gentlemen:
Following is my report of the activities of last summer at the swimming pool.
I really believe that the swimming pool project was a big help to the children of Southbridge largely because the children had an opportunity to go in swimming at a safe place under life guard supervision.
I also at this time want to thank the life guards for their cooperation with both the children and the swimming pool committee, and for the splendid work they did last summer in teaching a lot of children of this town how to swim.
I believe the largest day we had up there last summer was the day the playgrounds held their picnic at the swimming pool.
If material is available and the town appropriates money for water, sewerage and bath houses we will try to complete the pool this coming year.
Yours very truly
EMIL J. MARTIN
Chairman ·Swimming Pool Committee

The fiscal year of 1945, just closed, has been a difficult one in which to operate financially, because of rising costs in every direction.
Operation of the school plant was hampered further because of a reduction of $10,000 by the town appropriations meeting.
It was hoped, until early in December, that the funds alloted would be sufficient, but supplies placed on order several months ago arrived in the closing weeks of the year and caused a deficit in the School Department "Other Expenses Account" which the special town meeting of December 28, 1945 was unwilling to approve.
The factor of continued high prices will undoubtedly continue through 1946 and will necessitate the delay of many much needed repairs this year. One condition, however, should be brought to the attention of the voters: £ namely, toilet and basement repairs at Marcy Street School.
With the return of Mr. Harold Andrews, Painting Instructor of the trade high school staff, one phase of the work can be taken care of at a fairly moderate expense. The toilet rooms moderniza- tion which should be done with the least possible delay will be fairly expensive. A budget provisionhas been made for this work.
Under our present organization, a large share of our trans- ported pupils attend classes at this building which has none, of the advantages of the other three eight-grade elementary schools.
We want the parents to know, through this statement, that the committee is mindful of conditions at this school, and feels strongly that they should be remedied.
The School Committee looks with pride upon the summer recrea- tion facilities offered through the four playgrounds and hopes very much indeed that the voters will be willing, in the near future, to improve and enlarge the recreational facilities at all of the

elementary schools, except at Marcy Street where space is not avail- able. This is an additional reason why the committee feels that everything possible should be done to improve the physical condi - tion of this building.
As higher costs of living began to be drastically felt, at the beginning of the war years, the committee voted to give all teachers a 10% increase in salary on April 1st, 1942.
The appropriation meeting of 1943 increased the school depart- ment budget by another 15% and the school committee took this oppor- tunity to work out and adopt, through the help of the educational services division of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, a new and more attractive salary scale.
The soundness of this scale has been proved by the fact that many communities, facing a salary adjustment program, have re- quested copies of it.
In the face of continued high costs of living, the committee, exercising its sole jurisdiction over salaries, voted a $100 in- crease beginning January 1, 1946 to all school department employees to try to meet this situation.
With the marked increase of salaries since 1942 which, how- ever, are following a uniformly national trend and with costs of all supplies much greater than in 1942, it is inevitable that the budget should be greatly increased from that of five years ago. This is necessary if the pupils of the Southbridge Public Schools are to have the educational advantages which are enjoyed in the better communities of Massachusetts.
It gives me great pleasure to welcome back to our staff, men who left us to join the armed forces of the United States. We trust that their adjustment will be at a minimum of difficulty. We know that all pupils whom they serve will respect the older more mature judgment and better teaching techniques which they bring to their resumed class-room duties.
I wish to thank each and every one of my colleagues on the committee for their unfailing support of my administration. To the superintendent, principals, teachers, bus drivers, clerks, and custodians, I wish to express my appreciation of work well and cheer- fully done.
Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR H. GAUMOND

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Mr. Arthur H. Gaumond Chairman, School Committee Southbridge, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Gaumond:
It is a pleasure to submit herewith my ninth annual report which is the sixty-first such report by superintendents of the pub- lic schools of Southbridge.
Our educational offerings are grouped, as in the past few years, in the five buildings used for elementary school purposes, in the two buildings used exclusively for vocational school purposes, and in the Mary E. Wells High School building which shares its quarters with general vocational school pupils.
Outstanding work in the River Street School centers in much individual instruction because of small class groups.
Interested citizens are requested to visit this school to be- come better acquainted with the work that is accomplished there.
The four other elementary schools house pupils from grade I through grade VIII with departmental work in grades VI - VIII.
Although the usual junior high school organization takes place in grades VII - IX, the fullest use of the three new schools, has caused this deviation from a more standard pattern.
Many teachers from all five elementary schools are taking local workshop courses, or are studying elsewhere to keep up with the trend in approved practices.
The Cole Trade School has adopted curriculum changes which have justified a change of name to the Cole Trade High School, and we have the assurance that specimen students of superior scholastic grade will be accepted for admission to higher institutions of learning.
The college preparatory courses at Wells High School are con- tinuing their long-time accomplishments of fitting their better students for colleges all over the country. In all other courses, pupils get out of school just about what they put into it and in accordance with native ability and aptitude.
The guidance department which attempts to serve the needs of all pupils who seek its advice can do much, as time goes by, to minimize waste and assure accomplishment.
All branches of our secondary school offerings will be chal- lenged to the utmost to meet the requests of veterans who, in in- creasingly greater numbers, are attempting to make proper and profit- able re-adjustments to civilian life.
Through our great number of full-time or part-time day or evening courses, we shall hope to have several offerings of interest and profit to all.
I wish to thank all members of the School Committee, all staff members, and the citizens of Southbridge who are interested in the welfare of the Southbridge Public Schools for their continued sup- port.
Respectfully submitted, CHANNING H. GREENE
Superintendent of Schools
