Report of the Principal of the High School
Col. Charles Stephenson, Supt. of Schools Pepperell, Mass.
Dear Sir:
At the outset of this report I wish to pay a tribute to my predecessor, Mr. Sergius Bernard, who did so much to improve the morale of Pepperell High School. During a period when many schools blamed a let-down in student morale upon war emotions, I believe Pepperell High School showed a marked improvement.
Not all is well at Pepperell High School. Is it, or was it ever, anywhere? We have some pupils incapable of mas- tering the courses we have to offer. We have some pupils we have been unable to interest in mastering the courses we have to offer. For both these groups good courses in the mechanical and domestic arts might be of value. Our results in the standardized tests which we give for final examinations each June, and the results which former pu- pils have obtained in army tests show, however, that our scholastic average is well above that for the rest of the country.
We have the problems of discipline. Newspaper ac- counts and the experiences of teachers moving into and out of our system indicate more serious problems elsewhere. My first experience with the Pepperell schools was when Mr. Whitmarsh asked me to help with the football team which had "fired" the sub-master as its coach.
Much has been said about overemphasis on athletics. I believe much might be said about overemphasis on formal education. Many highly educated and many very success- ful men have never completed grammar school and many "dull, conceited asses confuse their minds in college classes." I perceive no useful purpose in keeping in school to the age of sixteen or more a pupil who is unable or unwilling to bene- fit from what the schools have to offer. I believe that much of the trouble in our schools today is traceable to well- intentioned laws based upon the erroneous assumption that laws compelling attendance at school can produce uni- versal education.

Due to the purchase of new basketball uniforms last year we had insufficient funds to carry us through the baseball season. To supply funds to further our athletic program this season the pupils earned well over four hun- dred dollars for the school, selling magazine subscriptions.

Report of Principal of C. M. Shattuck School
December 31, 1946
The following is my report for the past year :
1. School opened in September with the usual large number of pupils, several new teachers, and the return of Col. Charles Stephenson as Superintendent. Among the new teachers were Mrs. Kathleen Coles of Chelmsford, who replaced Mrs. Dorothy Foss who retired from the teaching profession after teaching for eight years at this school. Mrs. Elsie Gasper who replaced Mrs. Mary H. Cossette, who taught for sixteen years in the Pepperell schools. Mrs. Irene W. Wright accepted a year's leave of absence, but - has been very helpful as a substitute on several occasions. Mrs. Sidney Mason acted as assistant in grade six for the first three months of the year, when her place was taken by Miss Patrice Meehan of Lowell, who became music supervisor for the entire town, and assistant in grade six.
2. Due at first to the lack of food, and later on to its high cost, the lunch room was not opened in September. A program of hot soup was arranged for the month of De- cember, and plans made in the budget of 1947 for the oper .. ation of a lunch room, under the jurisdiction of the School Committee. After an audit of the books, by Mr. Lyman Robbins, the profit accumulated through the previous lunch program, amounting to $125.00 was turned over to the School Committee for use in the school lunchroom.
3. The milk program was continued this fall, but with an increase in cost to the pupil, as the State will stand the expense up to two cents per bottle only. About 190 bottles of milk are averaged daily at this school.
4. Some much needed repairs have been made this fall, such as the changing of the lighting to a system more adequate, the overhauling of the heating equipment, and the fixing of some leaks in the building.
5. With the coal strike coming on, we were fortunate to have all coal bunkers full.
6. Chief Harold King has done a good job as attend- ance officer, and no truancy has resulted.
7. Dr. Porter and Mrs. Dee, the nurse, have made their examinations, and Mrs. Dee her follow up work.
8. The addition of a teacher for special class, and backward children is urgent and more room space can be realized by constructing four rooms in the attic of this school.
C. A. BURNEY Principal

Report of the Groton Street School Principal
The large entering class for the second consecutive year has increased the enrollment and filled grades one and two to capacity. It will be necessary to install more desks and seats if there are any other applications for admission to either of these grades.
When classes are large and a teacher's time divided between two grades it is impossible for a child to receive the necessary attention required, especially in a first grade. The school continues to function with three room in use and three teachers. Each teacher having two grades. The extra room is used by Dr. Porter and Mrs. Dee, the school nurse, for physical examinations for children.
Two very good teachers, Miss Dreven and Miss Dia- mond, resigned to accept positions paying higher salarics elsewhere. They were replaced by Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Roberts. Mr. Fitzpatrick was recalled to take over the work of Janitor.
Sixteen children were immunized against diphtheria at the Toxoid Clinic held at the High School in May and forty-seven in December.
Mrs. Nagle, whose pleasing personality endeared her to pupils and teachers alike, resigned during the summer. It was nice to have Mrs. Dee return to the position she held sometime ago and so ably filled.
The milk program is being sponsored through the co- operation of the Mothers' Club.
· Contributions were given to various campaigns carried on during the school year.
The sale of war bonds and stamps were continued un- der the direction of Miss Diamond from January to June. Disposal bags were made and funny books collected as part of Junior Red Cross work. The Teachers in service last May received certificates in recognition of meritorious ser- vice performed from the American National Red Cross.
Miss Attridge continues as supervisor of Art. We were without the services of a Music supervisor due to Mr. Prisk's
91
resignation last summer, until Miss Meehan took over this work in December.
Mr. Bowen, who had been acting superintendent, ac- cepted a position in Acton.
Col. Stephenson returned from the Service to his duties as superintendent of schools for the opening of the fall term. We are indeed fortunate in having him and it's a pleasure to welcome him back. He acquaints himself with the problems of the school and is always willing to better conditions in so far as the school budget will allow.
I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all who have contributed in any way for their assistance and cooperation during the last year.
Respectfully submitted,
ELIZABETH R. DWYER
Principal

Report of School Nurse
Col. Charles Stephenson, Superintendent of Schools,
I hereby submit my report of school nursing service since September 1st.
The annual school physicals of the Grammar Schools have been completed and the greater part of the High School group have been done by Dr. Porter.
Home visits have been made to all having defects re- quiring immediate attention. The parents of these children have been most cooperative in having the necessary correc- tions, either through clinic service or a visit to their family doctor. A high percentage of the defects are dental.
Due to the prevalence of diphtheria in the surrounding district, Dr. Porter and I thought it advisable to hold the toxoid clinic in November. One hundred and fifty children were immunized.
First aid has been rendered whenever necessary and several ill children have been taken home.
It has been a pleasure to again be associated with the members of the School Department and I wish to thank all for their kindness and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
ELLEN E. DEE, R. N.

Report of the Middlesex County Extension Service 1946
Food Production was of the utmost importance during 1946 and the main effort of the Extension Service was along this line. Through meetings, radio, farm and home visits, county bulletin, news releases and calls in person and by telephone at the office, assistance was given to as many people as possible
Fruit growers this year were interested especially in knowing more about frost damage and its prevention and the latest materials to use in spraying to overcome insects and diseases. Because of the wet season, there was a severe infestation of scab and growers required all the assistance possible to produce a good quality crop. Twilight meetings of interest to local growers were held in various parts of the county. Information was sent out to local papers and through town libraries as well as over the radio to help all those interested in home gardens.
Three projects were emphasized to assist those inter- ested in poultry - namely, Better Use of Ranges; Brooding and Rearing; Disease Control and Sanitation.
Of interest to dairymen, the Selective Breeding Asso- ciation and the Herd Improvement Association were de- veloped and expanded during the year.
Because of the many food shortages experienced dur- ing the year, homemakers were given assistance to help them in problems in feeding their families the right foods essential to health despite the shortages. Demonstrations and illustrated talks were given on: When Meat is Scarce; Sugar-Saving Desserts; Use of Available Foods; Oil-Spar- ing Salad Dressings. Homemakers were interested in cloth- ing renovation and Short Cuts and Speed Tricks in clothing construction. Food preservation was the main project fol- lowed during the summer to assist homemakers in the best procedure to insure satisfaction in home canning and preparation of foods for freezing.
4-H Club work was carried on in clothing, home fur- nishing, canning, garden, poultry and livestock projects. These clubs were under the leadership of Mrs. Sophie Tier- ney, Mrs. Duane McDuffee, Mrs. Bernard Scott, Mrs. Wil- liam Ryan, Miss Florence Flynn and Charles F. Maynard. Evelyn Yeutter carried on an individual home furnishing
103
project and was the county winner in the National Room Improvement Contest. She also participated in the state- wide canning judging contest and exhibit at the State Col- lege. Mrs. Leslie Smith attended the Leaders' Camp at Amherst. George Farmer was awarded a prize on his garden in the contest sponsored by the Middlesex North Agricultural Society.

Report of Cemetery Commissioners
January 15, 1947.
Due to the lack of elected Cemetery Commissioners during the year the Board of Selectmen has served as Act- ing Commissioners.
Following the war period when labor for maintenance was practically unobtainable a good deal of work was re- quired in placing Walton and Woodlawn Cemeteries again in first class condition. Early in the spring the Commission- ers appointed Mr. Harry Dow as superintendent in charge of the two cemeteries and under Mr. Dow's supervision adequate labor was secured and employed to maintain the grounds in the best condition prevailing for a number of years.
A new section was developed in Woodlawn along the eastern boundary, this section measuring approximately 60 feet east and west and approximately 350 feet north and south. The ground was leveled, disced and seeded and a good stand of grass had started prior to the beginning of winter. This new section will provide an ample number of desirable lots for a number of years ahead. In connection with this development work the weeds and underbrush along the east fence were grubbed out and the fence itself painted.
Following the war, equipment was also at low ebb and during the year it was necessary to repair and use to the best advantage possible the old lawn mowers until two new ones became available during the spring. Toward the close of the year two additional hand mowers were purchased in readiness for next season, and also with funds available the Acting Commissioners purchased a top quality, strongly built 25-inch power mower which will simplify and make more economical future caretaking in parts of both ceme- teries.
In 1945 due to inability to provide adequate labor for the cemeteries no statements were mailed to those lot owners under annual care and in years previous to 1945 the amount secured under annual care had been comparatively small. The Acting Commissioners during 1946 prepared a new mailing list covering annual care lot owners, letters
105
and statements were mailed to these owners, and a very gratifying response was received from the public. These annual care payments plus the interest for perpetual care funds aid materially in reducing the cost to the Town of proper maintenance.
A new Deed Book was purchased by the Acting Com- missioners and placed in use in connection with new lots of which four were sold during the year.
From the two appropriations during 1946 totaling $2200.00 together with annual care receipts. perpetual care interest, the Soldiers Graves appropriation, and other miscellaneous income, it was possible to maintain Walton and Woodlawn in excellent condition during 1946.
We urge that this type of maintenance be continued and for 1947 recommend appropriation as follows :-
Cemeteries $2250.00 Soldiers Graves 150.00
We also suggest for the consideration of the Town a nominal salary for the three Cemetery Commissioners which offices must be capably filled to insure adequate di- rection and supervision of the cemetery work.
Summary of Receipts and Expenditures for the Ceme- teries is included in the Report of Town Accountant.
