REPORT of the HAMILTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1949
REPORT OF THE HAMILTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton :
The school committee herewith submits this report of its activities during the year 1949.
Teacher and other personnel replacements, due to resignations and other reasons, required much of the committee's time and consideration during the year. In April Mrs. Louise Tuma tendered her resignation as third grade teacher at the Lamson School. Mrs. Carolyn Lander was appointed on a substitute basis for the balance of the school term. During the summer vacation Miss Evelyn Rankin was elected to this position; her appointment became effective September 1. Lack of sufficient space and a large enrollment in the lower elementary grades made it necessary to add another teacher to the elementary school faculty. Miss Bernice Fyrberg was appointed as assistant second grade teacher to alleviate the overload in that class, and began her teaching duties in September. Mr. Wilton Moyer, formerly a teacher in the schools of Rowley, Mass., replaced Mr. Frederick Bosworth as a teacher at the High School, his appointment be- coming effective at the beginning of the school term in September.
In October the death of Andrew Dunn, building custodian at the High School, saddened all who knew him. He was always ready to help one and all, and throughout the day as he went about his duties. his cheery smile and genial good nature was a source of inspiration to all who were in daily contact with him. With his death the community lost a fine man and a good citizen. At the regular meeting of the school committee in October Mr. Bernard Cullen was elected to this position.
Mr. Frank Malone, who so ably directed and taught the language courses at the high school for many years, passed away on December 17. Anything that could be written here to describe his loss to the school and the town of Hamilton would be, to say the least. inadequate. All the school children who listened to his teachings, all the teachers who worked with him, and school committee members and other school officials who were associated with him benefited by knowing him. His interest in the children and his work as a teacher was deep and sincere. He will be sorely missed by all of us. Mr. Stanley Navarro has been appointed by your committee to fill this position on a temporary basis. Mr. Towne is screening candidates at the present time in an endeavor to find a suitable teacher for this very important position on our high school faculty.
During the past year the committee spent considerable time in con- sideration of a better plan of conducting the hot lunch program in the elementary and secondary schools. The program was operating satisfac- torily except that it had not been self-supporting. The committee finally decided that consolidation of the lunch program would prove to be more

economical without lessening its success. The menus are now prepared at the High School Cafeteria for both schools, and the food for the Lamson School is transported to that building in steam heated containers. This adjustment has worked out exceptionally well. A check of the school cafeteria report found elsewhere in this Town Report shows an expenditure of $6,548.67, and a reimbursement of $6,549.20 in cafeteria receipts to the town treasurer.
Your committee is finding it exceedingly difficult, due to the lack of sufficient space at the Lamson School, to provide for the increased enroll- ment there. It became necessary to transfer the kindergarten class to the High School at the beginning of the school term in September. This move is considered a temporary one by the committee, as it is not good policy to house elementary school classes in the same building with a secondary school group. Due to the high enrollment in the first and second grades they are now divided into two groups per grade. This is being done to decrease the number of pupils per teacher. Accordingly the first and second grades at the Lamson School are using four rooms there, and will continue to need as much room as they progress into the upper grades. The basic reason for the recent and prospective increases in our elementary school enrollment, is the large increase in the birthrate since 1940. The babies of 1942 and 1943 are the first and second graders of the current school year. Present school census figures show that as many children will be starting school in the years ahead. The incoming flood can be guaged from the record of births for the past twelve years as compiled by the U. S. Office of Vital Statistics. From the figures it has been predicted that school enrollments for grades 1 through 12 will continue to grow until they reach record totals in 1958-1960. The high birth rate during 1948 and 1949 suggests that the basic change in the nation's birth rate will continue for many years to come. If this occurs the total school enrollment may not level off during 1958-1960. as earlier reports pre- dicted, but may continue to increase into the 1960's. At any rate, it is clear that the 1947-1948 estimates concerning school enrollments in the late 1950's must be revised upwards.
The school committee members of 1948 were aware of these facts and petitioned the citizens of Hamilton at the annual town meeting in March 1949 to authorize the Town Moderator to appoint a committee to study this school building problem and report back its recommendations at the 1950 annual town meeting. This was accomplished and the appointed committee employed a group of experienced educators and School Building experts, known as "Educational Service Associates" to take a survey of the town and its school building needs and to submit a report of its survey. The report of this survey is being published at the time this School Com- mittee report is being written. A report of the Town of Hamilton Survey Committee will be found elsewhere in this Town Report. Your school committee heartily concurs with the recommendations found in this report of the Survey Committee and are also in agreement with the report as sub- mitted by "Educational Survey Associates." We would like to point out that the educational needs in Hamilton, because of high elementary enroll- ment and the antiquated accommodations of the Lamson School call for
FRANCIS JOSEPH MALONE June 23, 1905 - December 17, 1949
immediate action and long range planning on the part of all town com- mittees and citizens responsible for what is finally done to remedy existing school building needs.
The support of the citizens and all town officials in this matter is earnestly solicited by the school committee so that Hamilton and its school system will not be handicapped in their apparent growth.
Your approval of the school budget is also requested. This has been kept to a minimum, in the committee's opinion, consistent with the opera- tion of a satisfactory school system.
In closing this report the committee wishes to express its appreciation of all town officials, the superintendent of schools and his secretary, all the teachers, and the Hamilton Parent-Teacher Association, for their splendid cooperation and help. The general feeling toward the schools of Hamilton has been most heartening.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Hamilton School Committee:
I herewith submit my sixth annual report as superintendent of schools in Hamilton.
A report at this particular time seems to be a very difficult under- taking. Our building program, as well as the future of our educational program is somewhat beclouded by the regional school.
I should like to call your attention to the cafeteria account, and to Miss Boswell's report on the cafeteria. The town loaned us $7,000 to do business for one year. Please note that we have turned in $6,549.20, and we have $451.33 left in the safeteria fund which makes a total of $7,000.53 returned to the town.
