In the instrumental program all third and fourth grade students receive a course in music theory utilizing the Tonette to insure progress in music reading. Basic elements of music are taught including the bass and treble clef, time signatures, key signatures, scales, rhythm, and notation, with an all-out effort to improve music reading. These classes were also ex- posed to creative music composition and as a result composed original Christmas songs which were performed at the Town of Oakham Christmas party. Three instrumental music classes are taught weekly with instruction offered on all band

and orchestral instruments. New text books were introduced to all instrumental students in September. There are not sufficient numbers of instrumentalists to organize a school band as such, but any student of junior high school age is welcome to play with the Holden Junior High School Band. Students are given the opportunity to perform at graduation and at various school and town assemblies throughout the year.

SCHOOL HEALTH REPORT
The following is the 1963 Annual Report of School Health services, reported by the school nurse of Oakham Center School.
Routine physical examinations for children in grades one, four, and seven were given by Dr. Channing H. Wash- burn, School Physician, assisted by the school nurse. Writ- ten notices were sent to all parents whose children were found to have any physical defects.
Vision, hearing, weighing and measuring examinations were given to all pupils by the school nurse without the assistance of technicians. Re-checks have been completed and notices have been sent home to the parents of children who failed the test.
Three Diphtheria and Tetanus immunization clinics were held for pupils in grades one, four, and seven. There were 33 pupils who received immunization.
Oral Polio immunization (Type I, II, and III) was offer- ed to all pupils by the Board of Health. The school nurse assisted at these clinics.
Dental examinations were given to all pupils by the Dental Hygienist.
One Pre-school registration day was conducted.
Other routine services which were provided during the year were home visits, personal interviews, inspections, first- aid, exclusion of sick children, conferences, planning with
63
SCHOOLS AND LIBRARY
and assisting the school physician in clinics, ordering all health supplies, and notifying parents of physical defects.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM For 1963
"Strong, healthy children are the greatest resource of our State, and the objectives of the National School Lunch Act are "to safeguard the health and well-being of the Na- tion's children, and to encourage the domestic consumption of nutritituos agricultural commodities and other foods."
The preceding is contained in the first paragraph of the proclamation issued by Governor Endicott Peabody to announce the observance of National School Lunch Week, October 13-19, which had for its theme, "School Lunch Serves the Nation - Through Food and Learning." Oak- ham School is one of 2,625 Massachusetts schools which serve more than 800,000 lunches daily.
In Oakham Center School 11,135 lunches were served on 180 days during 1963. Of these 9968 were paid lunches to children, 376 paid lunches to adults, 360 lunches to stu- dent kitchen workers, and 431 to needy children.
Each lunch served to a child must include a half pint of whole, white milk. Milk is also available to those children who bring their lunch from home. In all, 17,185 half pints of milk were consumed.

DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS
Commodities available to the program through the United States Department of Agriculture have included but- ter, pork, chicken, ground beef, turkey, among others. These products make it possible for your child to have a nourishing and well balanced lunch for only twenty-five cents. Turkey dinners, a favorite with the children, were served on special occasions during the year, and a picnic was available on the last day of school.
Receipts included $2,592.72 - lunchroom sales to stu- dents, and $140.24 - lunchroom sales to teachers. $938.52 was reimbursed from State and Federal Funds, with $190.59 anticipated from claims filed in November and December.
Food costs totaled $2,514.15; labor, $1,520.00; other expenses (freight, bottled gas, etc.) totaled $91.38.
Some improvements were made to the cafeteria and kitchen during the year. The plumbing was greatly im- proved, counters installed, and newly painted cupboards add to the appearance as well as facilitate easier cleaning in the kitchen area.
While the participation in our School Lunch Program remains at a level equal to other schools, and while our chil- dren benefit from this participation, I feel that our program is a successful one.

During the past year, a new water pump was installed and also a completely new hot air heating system was install- ed. Bids for this furnace were advertised in the Barre Gazette and four returns were received. The contract was awarded to
65
SCHOOLS AND LIBRARY
Stone's Oil Service of Oakham. The interest from Trust Funds, with the approval of the trustees and the selectmen, was used to pay for this burner costing $1500 installed. This heating system is efficient and results in a more comfortable library.
The 4H held their weekly meeting in the basement. There is a hot air register in their work room, also.
In December, a telephone was installed which will give better service to library patrons. Service will be quicker when requests for books are received that require the librarian to call the inter-loan library system to procure books needed by readers and students. There is no charge to the library for these out-of-town calls.
The library again qualified for the State Aid of $500. This amount was used to defray the operating expenses of the library.
Mr. Winthrop Boyd has resigned after more than 17 years as custodian of the library. He has kept the library clean and neat, and held a responsible commendable position well appreciated by the board. He will be missed by his many friends as he went about his duties in and around the library buildng. Mr. Ludwick Szczuka has been appointed custodian.
This has been a busy progressive year for the board of library trustees. With the installation of a new water sys- tem, heating plant, telephone, and other improvements, it has considerably increased the general efficiency of the libra- ry. Better services is an important element in today's trend towards better living.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Fobes Memorial Library:
In the spring, an excellent exhibit of school children's art work was arranged in the reading room by the school art supervisor, Mrs. Mary Griffin.
The inter-loan system of the Worcester Free Public Library and the Fitchburg Public Library loaned 40 books
66
DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS
to Oakham resident. Requests for these books totaled 16 for children and 24 for adults.
About 75 fiction and non-fiction books were loaned for a three-month period to our library from the Fitchburg Regional Library. After this period of time, these books will be exchanged for other books by arrangement with the Fitchburg Librarian.
The total circulation of books was 4525 issued and 367 were renewed. Magazine circulation was 374, in addition to those read in the reading room. There were 52 adult books purchased and 121 books were received as gifts from Oakham residents and out of town friends. These books are always welcomed and appreciated. 30 children's books were pur- chased and 59 were received as gifts.
Mr. Winthrop Boyd has resigned as custodian of the library after serving 17 faithful years. He was trustworthy, efficient and reliable, and I wish to extend my thanks to him for "a job well done."
Respectfully submitted,
DOROTHY V. LUPA, Librarian
