Respectfully submitted, THOMAS J. BERUBE, Town Auditor


REPORT OF MUNICIPAL BUILDING COMMITTEE Arthur C. Currier, Jr., Chairman


The Municipal Building Committee has been prepared since September 1965 to go to bid on the new library building. As you are aware, there were no federal funds allocated to Tewksbury and this decision is now under appeal. We have been notified by the State Board that if we go to bid before final disposition of the appeal, we will forfeit all rights to any funds.


As soon as a final decision is made by the state, construction will begin.


After further study, a new plan is being submitted to the Town Meeting on a Central Fire Station. Also discussed were further building needs of the town, and an article for funds will be in the warrant to allow the committee to continue its assigned work.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT


Joseph J. Whelan, Chairman


Victor N. Cluff Kevin C. Sullivan George A. O'Connell David J. Beattie


This year, more than ever, it is extremely important that the people of Tewksbury take a greater interest and participate more actively in their town government. Many important decisions face your elected and appointed officials and such decisions can be facilitated greatly by the simple device of having individuals contact their official representatives and expressing their ideas, providing intelligent suggestions and participating in the various opportunities that are offered for citizens activity.


In a community as large as Tewksbury there seem to be many diver- gent and sometimes conflicting ideas on how the town should operate. Honest, penetrating and active discussion usually reveals that the insur- mountable barriers, which seem to exist at times, melt away rapidly when people communicate intelligently, directly and without reservation. Cloud- ing such discussions with unfounded destructive criticism does the town no service and only serves to inhibit the progress of the town to the detriment of all. Where problems exist, they should be attacked cour- ageously in a community effort, and not ignored with the wistful hope that they will disappear as time goes on. Town officials are always receptive to constructive suggestions and the importance of providing such sugges- tions cannot be over-emphasized. Town government should be a team effort with all participating.


The report of the auditors of the Division of Accounts, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, included elsewhere in the town report, indicates that the financial condition of the Town of Tewksbury is excellent. Careful and prudent consideration of appropriation items at town meetings will main- tain this condition.


The Board of Selectmen has been fortunate in obtaining the services of a highly qualified Executive Secretary, Mr. Frank J. McArdle. Mr. McArdle has been providing a long needed service in coordinating the activities of all town departments under the direction of the Selectmen. It is felt that a tremendous improvement has been realized in providing service to the townspeople through the employment of a full-time Executive Secretary.


In an effort to cope with the challenge of minimizing the law enforce- ment problem, ten reserve police officers have been appointed to the Police

Department. These men were selected impartially on the basis of a competitive examination, physical standards developed by the Personnel Board and strict character investigation.


The Selectmen found it necessary to file court action against the Board of Appeals in an instance where the majority of the Selectmen feel that the Board of Appeals had exceeded its authority in granting a variance for construction of apartments. The Superior Court saw fit to uphold the Board of Selectmen and vacated the decision of the Appeals Board.


It would be impossible to enumerate in detail all of the activity of the Selectmen during the past year. In summary, it might be said that 1965 was a successful year. The future can be more successful with the help and participation of the citizens of Tewksbury.

REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL


Warren W. Allgrove


Board of Selectmen Town Hall, Tewksbury, Mass.


Gentlemen:


This is my report as Town Counsel for the year 1965.


The land damage cases at the North Street well field as reported last year were completed except for the Sullivan-Hodge claims which are presently in the Superior Court. This case has been ordered to trial in March at which time they will have to be tried or settled.


Many land damage cases are pending as the result of the Chapter 90 work on South Street and it is expected that conferences with all the land owners and their attorneys will be held in the near future to determine adjustments, if any can be made.


The briefs have been completed in the matter of the appeal of the town concerning the Town Dump. It is expected that the appeal will be argued the first week in March or the first week in April in the Supreme Judicial Court depending on the length of the list. This is a case of first impression and the Supreme Judicial Court will have to determine exactly what the power of the State Department of Public Health is in reference to open face burning dumps. Their present policy being to close the same regardless of where located or how operated. In making their decision they do not consider the additional expense that a land fill operation will cost the people of Tewksbury.


A decision of the Board of Appeals to grant a variance to permit multiple dwellings was appealed to the Superior Court by the Board of Selectmen and following a hearing, was annualled. The determination of whether multiple dwellings of any kind should be permitted in any districts in the Town will be up to the voters after a hearing before the Planning Board and a 2/3 vote at an annual or special Town meeting.


I have attempted to be available for conferences with your Board and the several Town Boards and Committees upon request. The total amount paid to your Town Counsel for Court appearances, opinions and conferences, $2,476.10.


This does not include Court fees or other disbursements for service of Writs or summonsing of witnesses.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


The Tewksbury School Committee during the past year held regular meetings on the second and fourth Monday of each month. In addition, extra meetings were held in November and December to work on the budget.


This year, the majority of Elementary classrooms began studying Modern Mathematics. Modern Math is now taught at every level. The Committee was pleased to see the interest the parents displayed in Modern Mathematics, as evidenced by the large attendance at the mathematics orientation sponsored by the adult education program.


The Summer School that has been operated for a number of years in the elementary schools was expanded this year into the Junior High School and the Senior High School. The purpose of this program at the secondary level was to enable a good student to enrich his studies, and also to provide the student encountering difficulty in a subject to gain further help.


The School Committee had the sad task of accepting with deep and sincere regret, the resignation, as of July 31, 1965, of Miss Dorothy Woodhams, as curriculum coordinator. Miss Woodhams had also served the Town of Tewksbury as head of the Science Department at Tewksbury Memorial High School, and acting Superintendent of Schools.


The School Committee appointed John W. Wynn as Superintendent of Schools, effective May 1, 1965. Mr. Wynn had served the Town of Winthrop as a teacher, assistant Principal and Assistant Superintendent.


Because the incoming Superintendent felt a need to expand the func- tions of the Superintendent's Office, the Committee accepted his recom- mendation for an Assistant Superintendent, and appointed Mr. Edward Farley to this position. Mr., Farley has served the Town as a Junior High and Elementary School Principal.


Through the courtesy of I. B. M., the Junior High School has been loaned a multi-channel audio system for the business department. This can be utilized in varying the speed of typing drills. The School Department was pleased to host a regional conference, at which time the equipment was demonstrated to business educators.


Upon the recommendation of the Administration, the School Committee voted to provide a new basic reading series in the primary grades. The Committee intends to extend the new series into the elementary grades.


The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has recommended that the school budget be drawn up on a new accounting system. This recommendation was accepted by the Committee and the budget meetings were conducted in accord with the areas established in the State Accounting System.


The Committee has seen a rapid increase in the amount of children in our schools and is pleased with the growth of educational program. The Committee invites all parents to visit the schools.


I would like to thank the entire school system for their kind cooperation during my term of office. I extend thanks to my fellow board members for their cooperation and dedicated service during the past year.


JEREMIAH J. LONERGAN, Chairman Tewksbury School Committee.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the Honorable School Committee and Citizens of Tewksbury:


It is a privilege for me to submit to you my first report as Superinten- dent of Schools in Tewksbury. Since assuming the position of Superinten- dent on May 1, 1965, each day has brought to me a greater realization of the commendable "effort" the people of Tewksbury are making to support an educational program of excellence for the youth of the community. This effort must be maintained and even increaesd if we wish to continue to hold a competitive position in the "world of education" among neighboring communities.


Our late president, John F. Kennedy, once wrote - "Now more than ever we need to develop the intellectual resources of the Nation to the fullest .... Our nation's wellbeing depends upon the extent and quality of our educational achievement ..... Education is both the foundation and the unifying force of our democratic way of life; it is the mainspring of our economy and social progress; it is the highest expression of our achievement in our society."


Mr. Sterling M. McMurrin, formerly the U. S. Commissioner of Education, once said when addressing the annual convention of the American Association of School Administrators: "It is entirely obvious that the tasks of education are mounting, that there are things pending for the future that have been undreamed of in the past ..... The future will be an exciting one. It will be one that calls for courage, adventurousness, imagi- nation and a determination to devote our energies to those things that are central to the purposes of education, the achievement and the dissemination of knowledge and the cultivation of the intellectual life."


These two quotations seem to express very well the beliefs and con- victions of thinking people throughout our great nation. At the same time they present a need and challenge to all of us, whether we be educators, the educated or dedicated citizens, to expand the role of education. This need is felt by men and women from all walks of life, as increased automa- tion and more specialization force them to seek retraining, as greater techni- cal skills are needed for vocational advancement and as their children are faced with making educational and vocational choices.


Free public education has now grown to be our biggest business, in terms of the number of people who are involved in its activities. In a recently published booklet by the A.A.S.A., "Education is Good Business" it stated that in 1960, 40 million persons, nearly a quarter of our population, were involved in free public education as students, teachers, administrators or school board members. It further stated - "Naturally, such a large activity is costly to operate. In fact, we are presently making cash expendi- tures for public elementary and secondary schools of $110 a year per person, not including a multitude of costs borne by individual families."


In this same booklet an interesting study relative to financial benefits derived from education was included, which I feel will prove revealing to many people.


150


"Our public education system provides benefits to students first and foremost, and these benefits are of many kinds. One of the most easily measured is financial: the more education a person has, the more money, on the average, he earns. Estimated average lifetime earnings of people by levels of education completed follow:"

In my nine months of custodianship for the Public Schools of Tewks- bury, we have attempted to maintain and improve, where possible, the fine standard of education that exists in the community. Our greatest problem continues to be a severe case of "growing pains" - and one which will require several years and increased costs to overcome.


On October 1, 1962 the public school enrollment was 3919 students, and on October 1, 1963 it was 4236 students or an increase of 317 students in one year. This trend continued in 1964 when the October 1st enrollment was 4478 for an increase of 242 students over the previous year. Last October 1st the enrollment was 4825 students for an increase of 347 over 1964. This adds up to an increase of 906 students over the last 3 years. Roughly this would indicate the need for 30 additional classrooms. If our projected enrollment for October 1, 1966 is realized we will have a total of 5188 students enrolled in our schools - a gain of 363 students over last October 1st.
