Report of The Eastham Vacationists' Handbook Committee
Our popular Handbook continues to grow each year in number of pages, and is a pleasant challenge to the com- mittee, which endeavors each year to make sufficient changes and improvements to keep it interesting.
The committee wishes to express its appreciation for the tremendous help received this year from the citizens of Eastham, by the donating of old photographs so that we could feature Eastham's past in the Handbook. We will always welcome any help and suggestions to make the Hand- book a continuing success.
The printing for 1958 was again 20,000, but the book contained more pages than in previous years. The distrib- ution was the same as in other years, to the various adver- tisers, the Town Hall, the Windmill, and all the information centers of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. Once again the demand was such that all copies were dispersed by Labor Day.
Respectfully submitted,

Second Annual Report of The Eastham, Orleans, Wellfleet Regional School District Committee
The concluding section of this report for 1957 indicated that planning activities preparatory to beginning construct- ion would extend well into the second quarter of 1958. Act- ually, they continued beyond the middle of the year.
Further consideration of insurance costs resulted in changing building plans and specifications from a hipped plank roof to a flat, built-up, fire resistant roof. It was esti- mated that this change would reduce the cost of construct- ion somewhat and save more than $4,000.00 a year in future insurance premiums. The change was made early enough to avoid additional planning expense, but it did delay com- pletion of final plans by about six weeks.
Additional Land for Playing Fields
At the annual town meeting on March 10,1958, Orleans voted to turn over about half the town-owned land between the Elementary and High School grounds to the High School, thereby enlarging the ultimate playing field area of the Reg- ional High School by more than 71/2 acres. Conditional upon this action by the town, Mr. Clayton P. Eldredge offered to give frontage on Tonset Road Exension of 375 feet and depth of 200 feet, thereby extending the town tract re- ferred to above, all the way from Boland Pond to Tonset Road Extension in a continuous strip about 350 feet in width. This gift was gratefully accepted. Altogether, the regional school site now amounts to about 35 acres with the additional advantage of abutting on two sides of El- dredge Park.
117
General Contract and Supplementary Estimates
About the middle of April, approvals were obtained from the School Building Assistance Commission and other state agencies as to details which they were responsible for in the final plans, and on May 9, bids were opened from 84 subcontractors and on May 16 from 6 general contractors.
The specifications included ten alternates, all of which the committee took, except one, and on this basis the general contract was awarded to C. A. Batson Company of Brockton, Massachusetts for $1,351,439.30 This bid included an allow- ance of $S8,000 for playing fields and site work as an avail- able bid had not been obtained. Subsequently, a bid of $100,990 was received. Change orders eliminating a green- house (6,800) and new auditorium chairs (6,160.80) just about offset the difference between between the playing field bid and the allowance. Further change orders to complete the surfacing of the tennis courts and to pay for the removal of excavated boulders have increased the current total of the general contract to $1,358,669.30.
To this general contract figure about $227,000 should be added to cover architect's services of about $100,000; movable furnishings and equipment, which will be subject to early bids that it is estimated will amount to about $100,000; and other costs, such as a water system; salary of Clerk of Works; insurance during construction; surveys, tests, etc., all of which will come to about $26,000.
Offsetting this gross total of $1,585,669.30 is a planning reimbursement of $72,900 which was received from the State in November; interest earnings on surplus funds in- vested in U. S. Treasury notes which amount to about $10.000 or more; and about $20,000 of borrowings and appropria- tions over this present estimate of gross total costs-all of which adds up to a current margin of about $100,000 to meet contingencies, if any, which may arise during the course of completing the project.
118
Sale of Bonds
Five bids were opened at the Second Bank-State Street Trust Company offices on July 8, 1958 for a Twenty Year Bond issue of $1,600,000, which was sold to a syndicate con- sisting of Harriman, Ripley & Co., Inc .; Kidder, Peabody Co .; Hornblower & Weeks; Rockland-Atlas National Bank of Boston; George P. Fogg & Co .; and F. Brittain Kennedy & Co .; at a price of 100.866 and accrued interest for 3.10 percent bonds.
Name of School
Following conferences with the school committees of each of the three towns and with other local officials, the Committee voted unanimously that the official name of the school should be Nauset Regional High School.
Brewster Planning Committee
At their annual town meeting on March 4, 1958, two special committees, one of which had been appointed to inquire about terms and conditions for the admission of Brewster into this District and the other instructed to make similar inquiries with respect to joining the Dennis-Yar- mouth Regional School District, both recommended that the town favorably consider a Regional School District. As a re- sult of these recommendations, the town voted to create a School District Planning Committee authorized and em- powered to confer with and negotiate as to terms and condi- tions of admittance to existing Regional School Districts.
This District Committee will welcome an opportunity to discuss its facilities with the Brewster Planning Committee and to offer it as favorable terms as can be justified in fair- ness to the three towns already in it.
Personnel Policy and Salary Schedule
At its December meeting, the committee elected Mr. Armand A. Guarino, the present principal of Orleans High School, to serve as principal of the regional school. In the first few weeks of 1959, the election of most of the teach-
119
ing staff for the regional school will be accomplished. In this chore, the committee will be guided by Section XII of the Regional Agreement which reads, "All teachers in posi- tions to be superseded by the establishment of the regional district school shall be given preferred consideration for similar positions in the regional district school to the ex- tent that such positions exist therein ; and any such teacher who on the date of his contract of employment with the District is then on tenure shall continue thereafter to serve on a tenure basis".
Preparatory to the organization of the teaching staff, the district committee commissioned a subcommittee to work out a salary scale for the regional school. The subcommittee recommendations, which were adopted by the district com- mittee in October, provide a scale similar to that in effect in Orleans at the present time, and is as shown below.

Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the Eastham-Orleans-Wellfleet Regional School District for the period from November 26,1956 to August 24, 1958, and the installation of an accounting system, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws.

Mr. Herman B. Dine Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir :
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the Eastham - Orleans - Wellfleet Regional
122
School District for the period from November 26, 1956, the date of its establishment, to August 24, 1958, and, in addi- tion, have installed a system of accounts as petitioned for by vote of the district, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws, the following report being submitted thereon :
The appropriations and loan authorizations voted by the district meetings were listed, and the expenditures chargeable against each appropriation were compared with the amounts voted. Ledger accounts were written up for the period covered by the audit, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the finan- cial condition of the district on August 24, 1958.
The financial transactions of the district treasurer were examined and proved, and the cash balance on August 24, 1958 was verified by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements received from the banks in which district funds are deposited and by examination of the United States Treasury Bills held in safekeeping at a bank.
The payments made for maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled notes on file.
The records of the assessments on member towns to provide funds for operating and construction expenses of the district were checked. The payments to the treasurer were verified, and the outstanding assessments were listed.
The surety bonds of the treasurer filed for the faithful performance of her duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash and a summary of the assessment account.
123
For the cooperation of the district officials during the progress of the audit and the installation of the system, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, S/ WILLIAM SCHWARTZ Assistant Director of Accounts

Status of Project at End of 1958
Work around the site and on the playing fields was be- gun almost immediately following the signing of the con- tract on June 19, 1958, and continued until the weather
126
got too cold well into November. Rough grading was com- pleted and so was nearly three-fourths of the soil prepara- tion for the grass areas. Very little has been done on the clay bases for the running track, the tennis courts, and the baseball areas, and the nearer playing field was seeded so late that it probably will be resown next Spring. The play- ing fields as a whole are about 60 percent completed.
At the building site, the area surrounding the new con- struction has not been brought to finished grade, and no soil has yet been prepared for seeding. The sewage beds and accompanying facilities have been completed and are now handling the sewage disposal for the existing school.
The building foundations are practically complete, and the structural steel is in place except for some miscellan- eous areas. The corrugated metal forms which support the concrete roof slab is complete on the two main wings and is now being placed on the floor areas. This will be followed by the laying of the floor slabs and then by the installation of interior partition wall construction, pending the installa- tion of outside panels and windows.
Equipment under the ground floor such as electrical distribution conduit, sanitary drains, and steam distribu- tion piping are quite well advanced. The heating boilers and some auxiliary equipment have been set in position. The total building project is now about one-third complete.
The weather has retarded progress somewhat. The equivalent of 111/2 full days have been lost since July 1 including 5 of 22 working days in December. It will be another couple of months, at least, before we will know with considerable assurance that the entire project can or cannot be completed by September. If the latter should prove to be the case, efforts will be made to concentrate on completing classrooms and other minimum essentials to
127
the opening and operation of the school for its initial en- rollment, which can, of course, be temporarily accom- modated with something less than the entire facility.

EASTHAM SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
To the Citizens of Eastham:
The School Committee hereby submits the annual re- port.
The 1958 session of school opened with the regular staff of teachers and a new lunch room manager, Mrs. Audrey Savin who replaced Mrs. Dorothy Prentice. Mrs. Savin has proven herself as a most economical and efficient meal planner and the lunch room account has broken about even for the year.
The Civilian Defense Director, Clarence Doughty, spent several hours with the School Department in setting up a proper protection and evacuation plan for the Eastham School Children in event of emergency. It should be inter- esting to realize that there is always at least three days' food supply on hand at the school and that the thickness of the walls of the basement are good protection against atomic rays if the occasion should arise. Also a planned program for taking care of the school children has been arranged between the Civilian Defense organization and the school.
