TOWN OF NORWELL
Upon consulting Mr. Wardell of the Division of Ac- counts, we were advised to grant the use of the build- ing at our discretion until the March meeting, when the voters would have an opportunity to express their opin- ion on two phases of the question: 1. whether the use of the building be granted to town organizations other than those connected with the schools and 2. whether a reimbursement fee be collected to cover the cost of operation.
For the first time in many years the school appropria- tion was overdrawn to the amount of $302.22. We refer you to the report of the Building Committee which shows that the amount was spent by the school commit- tee from its appropriation for necessary changes and equipment at the new building. It seemed to us in the nature of an emergency, as it was necessary to complete and equip the building before it could be occupied. We were able through careful economy to take all but $302.22 out of the incidental account of the budget, but as our estimates were very carefully drawn, we found it necessary to request the Finance Board to approve a transfer for the remainder. The Board transferred $315.00 so we now show an unexpended balance of $12.78. These bills for extras were paid at the time they were due, in order that the building could be completed. The School Committee felt it wiser to do this and spend carefully for the rest of the year, rather than ask for a transfer of the entire amount of $612.54.
We wish to call your attention to some of the gifts made to the school during the year.
In May, D. Willard Robinson Relief Corp No. 13 pre- sented the schools with a large silk flag and standard for the auditorium at the High School, also a wool flag mounted on a pole for each of the classrooms through- out the town. This gift is worthy of special note, as the
129
EIGHTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
$85 paid for the flags was not taken from the treasury but earned by the patient efforts of a small band of women for that specific purpose.
Mrs. Horace L. Fogg donated three large evergreen trees which are on the west terrace together with one of the two class gift evergreens, transplanted from the old building lot while the other was planted at the east end of the building. The two Cochran elms were also brought from the old lot and placed in front of the building.
Just previous to the dedication of the building, flow- ering shrubs were solicited from friends of the school and planted on the terrace, adding materially to the beauty of the setting. A portion of the ground juniper planted on each side of the concrete walks need to be replaced as part of the tops have died. The pupils are to undertake this work in the Spring together with further planting of shrubs.
The school department gratefully acknowledges gifts of books, magazines and pictures from The Parent Teacher Association, The Norwell Visiting Nurse Asso- ciation, The Ladies' Fire Auxiliary, The American Le- gion, Mrs. John Gutterson, Mr. Fritz Fenger, Mrs. Wil- liam Leonard, Mr. Ralph Gordon, Mrs. Eunice Studley and Mrs. William Mills.
With deep appreciation of the interest manifested by all in the work of the school we are.
Respectfully,
BENJAMIN LORING, Chairman JOHN M. LIND NELLIE L. SPARRELL, Sec.
