REPORT OF THE WESTFORD PLAYGROUND COMMITTEE
There has been no change in the routine activities of this Com- mittee since the last annual report.
Care and upkeep of the Lawns and shrubbery, as well as Tennis Court and Baseball field has been attended to in the usual efficient manner of Mr. John D. Peterson whose long service merits our com- mendation.
The financial report of your committee is shown in the Town Accountants record.
New equipment for the Tennis Court, painting the flag pole and fixing up the baseball diamond were additional items of expense this year.
Increased labor costs are items of additional expense that your committee may have to deal with during the ensuing year.

REPORT OF JOINT COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THE NEED OF NEW SCHOOLS IN WESTFORD
The Committee centered its inquiry around three questions:
1. What is the physical condition of our school building?
2. Is the available space adequate for a good school program?
3. Will the present buildings be adequate five or ten years from now?
It has obtained the data presented below through interviews with the school principals, a thorough investigatory tour of the Acad- emy building, and through Committee discussions. What is the condition of our present plant?
Our school buildings are in about as good condition as the age and type of structure permits. All buildings are relatively old, being built about fifty years ago though remodelling was done at the Academy in 1927, Cameron School in 1927, Frost School in 1938, and Sargent School in 1924.
Is the available space adequate for a good school program?
The answer to this question for the Academy is definitely neg- ative. In the elementary schools the answer is mostly in the affirma- tive.
Academy
Here we find a building which was built for an enrollment of about eighty pupils serving an enrollment of one hundred eighty-six today. This building is definitely over-crowded and will be more so in the near future.
Classrooms
There are only four good classrooms. In addition there is a small laboratory and three improvised classrooms which were made by partitioning the old gymnasium on the third floor. None of the latter can be called adequate.

Lunch rooms
No space is available for a lunch room. Pupils bring their lunches and eat them in the classrooms. A cafeteria is badly needed as only a handful of pupils live near enough to go home for a warm lunch.
Study halls
The only space available for study purposes is the gymnasium- auditorium. This forestalls any chance of having physical edu- cation classes and seriously interferes with the use of the room for school assemblies, athletics, music, dramatics, and other school ac- tivities where an auditorium is needed.
Gymnasium
The gymnasium is inadequate. The floor space would serve fairly well if other space were available for seating the spectators who at- tend athletic games. The crowded conditions at basketball games create serious problems for which there is no solution other than the banning of all spectators except the Academy pupils. Inasmuch as a large part of the athletic program is financed through basketball game admissions, such action would create financial difficulties and also be next to impossible to enforce.
One of the greatest drawbacks in the present gymnasium is the impossibility of shutting it off from the rest of the building thus making adequate policing next to impossible. The same toilet facil- ities are used by both teams and the general public, and access to them is possible only through the team locker rooms, an intolerable situation with a large crowd.
Locker and shower rooms
Shower and locker rooms are altogether inadequate. Visiting and home teams have to use the same locker room which is too small for even one team. Only two shower stalls are available, six or eight are needed. These rooms are impossible to heat in the cold weather. The above describes both the boys' and girls' facilities.
83
Domestic science rooms
There is a real need and demand for courses in domestic science subjects. At present there isn't a room that can be made available for these courses.
Manual arts
Many of our pupils need prevocational training. No space is available.
Cameron School
For the most part space is available in this building. The build- ing can care for 240 pupils. The present enrollment is 161 pupils housed in eight rooms.
The one big lack in Cameron School is the absence of auditorium space. It is important to hold school assemblies on various occasions for various purposes but such gatherings are impossible in Cameron School as no large room is available.
Sargent School
This building has eight rooms with a capacity of 240 pupils and has an enrollment of 202. In general this building is fairly adequate.
Frost School
Frost School has six rooms, none of which should house more than 25 pupils. Thirty or more pupil stations are jammed into these classrooms and when fully occupied make the rooms uncomfortably crowded.
The problem in Frost School is the housing of eight grades in six rooms. When any two classes, such as grades 3 and 4, have over 15 pupils in each, it becomes next to impossible to seat the children. A run of relatively large consecutive classes would create serious difficulties and such may well happen.
Nabnasset
This building has two excellent classrooms each capable of seat- ing thirty pupils.
Will the present buildings be adequate five or ten years from now?
In all probability this question can be answered in the affirmative in Sargent and Cameron Schools. In the Academy and Frost Schools the answers are definitely negative.
The Academy building has a maximum homeroom seating space of 208 pupils without further cutting down the already limited work- ing space. The present registration in lower grades indicates an Academy enrollment of 236 pupils five years from now. Westford is due to grow as a residential town and any growth at all will create an enrollment jam that cannot be handled in our present Academy building.
84
The present enrollment of 186 pupils is close to maximum seating conditions and a few more pupils will create an intolerable situation in the scheduling of rooms for classes.

Frost School has six classrooms housing eight grades. A contin- ued entering class of twenty-five pupils for three years would make it impossible to crowd eight grades into this building.
Conclusions
More schoolroom space is needed now and will be needed 1. badly in the near future as Westford increases in population.
2. Several additions to the school program are needed; manual arts, domestic science, a cafeteria, and better gymnasium facilities. None is possible under the present conditions.
3. While it was not the duty of our Committee to plan a build- ing or school program, our discussions constantly arrived at the need for concentrating our school facilities. The anticipated crowding at Frost School could be averted by the construction of a six-year second- ary school.
4. A building committee should be appointed at once as it will take several years to prepare adequately for a new building. Good planning is important and should be carefully done.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE EMILY F. FLETCHER LECTURE FUND
To the Citizens of Westford,
The bequest received by the town in 1923 from Miss Emily F. Fletcher for lectures on Natural History and Travel enabled the Trustees to present Martin K. Bovey on the afternoon and evening of May the eighth when he showed his colored movies and told of his experience with a pack train in Alberta. These two lectures which he had entitled Timber Line were held in the Westford Town Hall. An audience of one hundred and fifty children enjoyed the privilege of hearing Mr. Bovey due to the efforts of Mr. Sweatt, Superintendent of Schools and the cooperation of the bus drivers. The beautiful pic- tures of mountain peaks, Alpine flowers, birds and animals gave pleasure to all those who attended and the talks were much in ac- cordance with Miss Fletcher's wishes in leaving the bequest.
Fee of Martin K. Bovey $125.00.
Receipts from the lectures $26.65.
Minor expenses $30.07.
Respectfully submitted,
