The diphtheria and tetanus clinics were conducted by the school physician and the children whose parents signed the consent slips were immunized.
The preschool registration which was scheduled in the spring was well attended.
This fall the Dental Hygiene Program for the children in the first three grades was resumed through the coopera- tion of the State Department of Health. The purpose of this program is to: find dental caries, promote the corrections of dental defects and to educate children to practice correct dental hygiene procedures.
Through the cooperation of the Southern Worcester County Health Association and the State Department of Public Health a Tuberculin Testing Program was carried on in the schools. Many of the children received this test and there were very few positive reactors. The school nurses. would like to express their thanks to the volunteers who assisted them in this important program.

It has been a great satisfaction to have worked in a community which values its schools so highly. In June, I will have completed eleven years of service with you. I do not have the words to sufficiently thank you for the fine co- operation I have received from the committee, citizens, teachers, busdrivers, custodians, cafeteria managers and the pupils. Father Time makes it imperative that I retire June 30, 1959.

In order to solve the problem of dampness in our library, the trustees have made a study of the structure of the library. The Cutler Company of Worcester made extensive repairs and renovations on the roof and chimney.
During the past year several town organizations in- cluding the Historical Society, Town Planning Board, the regular weekly meetings of the Boys' 4-H Club in the base- ment workshop, and the weekly meetings of the younger Boys' Club which is newly formed, have used the library. This widening circle of usefulness which also includes the summer story-hour directed by our librarian, Mrs. Mayo, is a sign that our library is actively serving our community.
