REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
We have read and approved the reports of the Superin- tendent, the School Principal, the School Nurse, the the Super- visors of our School. These reports outline in detail the School matters which have been reviewed and passed in the regular or special meetings held by the School Committee during the year.
The action by the School Committee of discontinuing re- leased time for Religious Education and 4-H activities is not covered in these reports. The School Committee felt that its report should present the reasons for this controversial ruling.
During the summer of 1958, the School Committee re- viewed the School curriculum. Results of achievement tests showed that 50% of our students in the upper grades had not achieved an adequate reading level. Recommended time allow- ments by the State Department of Education were studied. It was felt that these requirements could not be met under the existing schedule.
In the School year 1957-58, the released time for Religious Education and 4-H work shortened the amount of time spent in the classrooms by approximately 15 school days.
It was learned that Westhampton had been the only Town in the County to hold 4-H sesisons during the School day for the past number of years.
It was also noted that the same grades that had received Religious Education when the Center School housed grades 1 to 8, have now the opportunity to receive this same religious instruction in Williamsburg Junior High School.
It was therefor voted to discontinue the released time for these two projects and devote the much needed hours to the main aim of our School which is instruction in academic work.
This action we feel is also in line with the general trend of education throughout our Country. The recent spectacular advance in education of other countries of the World has
36
brought a serious revaluation of our educational system. The Committee felt that this was an appropriate time to concen- trate locally on the academic purpose of the School.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
The annual report of the Superintendent of Schools, Union No. 51, is herewith submitted. It is the sixth report since the five town school union was formed.
The School Committee reorganized early in the year, electing Mrs. Henriette Miller as Chairman and Mr. Harold Wood as Secretary. Mr. Frank Hathaway is the third member. Unfortunately, the proposed Easthampton, Southampton, Westhampton Regional School District was voted down. At present Westhampton students beyond the sixth grade have no continued assurance of housing from any other town. It is impossible to receive a guarantee as school committees and their policies change so frequently. Williamsburg will con- tinue to accept students as long as there is no immediate increase in their own school population.
Mrs. Henriette Miller was Westhampton's representative at a meeting with Mr. Simeon Domas, Administrator, School Building Assistance Commission, held in Lenox. Mr. Domas proposed several possibilities of joining with other towns. Another meeting will be held with him soon to discuss further proposals and recommendations.
The Westhampton School Committee has adopted a salary schedule. This was brought about for two reasons; the manda- tory new Massachusetts minimum salary for teachers set at $3,600.00, the difficulty in obtaining and retaining teachers without the incentive of some stated increments as is done in most other towns. Under this schedule, a teacher with a 2 year or 3 year diploma begins at $3,600.00, for a teacher with a Bachelor's degree $3,800.00 and $4,000.00 for a teacher with a Master's degree. Maximum salaries after eight years are $4,400.00, $4,600.00 and $4,800.00. These salary incre- ments are not automatic and a teacher must show by taking required professional courses that he or she is keeping up with the best teaching methods and subject matter.
Two resignations took place during this past year. Mr. Richard Towse resigned as teacher-principal of Center School
38
to accept a position in California. Special tribute was paid to Mr. Towse by the pupils and P.T.A. group at the graduation in June. Mr. N. Deming Hoyt, parttime Adjustment Counselor for Westhampton, resigned to accept a similar position in the public schools of Springfield, Mass.
Mr. Donald F. Franciosi of Lunenburg, Massachusetts, was elected as principal-teacher to replace Mr. Towse. He is a graduate of Fitchburg State Teachers College in 1958 and is presently living in Easthampton. A more detailed account of his work is found in this report. Until better accommodations can be made for an adjustment counselor, the School Com- mittee has discontinued the services of such person. In the past, pupils needing the specialized services of the counselor had to be transported to the Town Hall. However, Mrs. Jane Marx, as Mr. Hoyt's replacement, is employed by Williams- burg and Worthington and her services will be used in extreme cases.
The Smith's School Board of Trustees again extended an invitation to Union No. 51 to hold its annual meeting on its premises. The meeting for 1959, is was decided, will be held at the Russell Conwell School. At this meeting, Mr. Kenneth Sherk, Williamsburg, was elected chairman; Mr. Clement Burr, Southampton, vice-chairman; and Mrs. Gertrude Lucey, Worthington, secretary.
The National Defense Education Act was passed and signed by the President on September 2 of this year. Over one billion dollars, under ten different titles, will be dis- tributed over a four-year plan to aid and encourage our educational system. Before this money is used, the Massa- chusetts Department of Education must present a State Plan. When this plan is made known, matching funds will be re- quired by the School Commitee to take advantage of money under specific titles. Our elementary schools should benefit specifically in the fields of science and modern foreign lan- guages. As more specific information is made known, the School Committee will relay this to the community.
39
A science workshop for all towns in our union was held on April 14th and 15th. Representatives from the Allyn & Bacon Company visited classrooms and demonstrated tech- niques in teaching science on various grade levels. All teachers met at the Anne T. Dunphy School for a final session on April 15th.

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT - 1958
This being my first report, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you, the citizens of Westhampton, for helping and encouraging me in numerous instances and for making the short period of time I have been here a very rewarding experience.
September found sixty children ready to begin a new session in schooling. Eleven new first grade children began their required formal education here in Westhampton. New arithmetic textbooks for all grades have greatly added to the enrichment of the curriculum. These textbooks were pur- chased from the Silver Burdett Company of New Jersey.
Several new and needed pieces of equipment have been acquired. The first and most useful is a new duplicating ma- chine. This machine gives added dimension to the presenta- tion of classroom work. Also, a filmstrip projector was pur -. chased which adds greatly to the effectiveness of any lesson as does all visiual aid equipment. To go with this, a new screen was purchased for showing film strips and motion pic- tures. Two filing cabinets, a vacuum cleaner, and a projection table round out this new equipment.
As was announced, various after and during school ac- tivities have been rescheduled or dropped. 4-H has been dropped and then rescheduled on Saturday. Release time for religious education has also been discontinued. Of course these classes are missed. I feel the school committee acted wisely in discontinuing these classes to allow more classroom time to teach the important factors of education. Handwriting is being taught by the teachers. The bookmobile is continuing its greatly appreciated services to both pupil and teacher. This feature adds greatly to one of the most important educational aims, that being the basic goal of creating interest in func- tional reading for enjoyment and interest.
Thirty-six children are insured under the school accident insurance program. Forty-two children are participating in the new banking system.
41
A great need in any school is a good, functional Parent- Teacher Association. I have been greatly impressed with the number of parents who attend the Parent-Teacher Association meetings. But as is always the case, "There's always room for more." Excellent programs have been presented by this group. The school staff and officers of the P.T.A. arc always happy to see new faces at these meetings. This is the best opportunity to discuss and examine many of the problems which confront both teacher and parent. Of cqual significance was the excellent turnout of parents during National Educa- tion Weck. During this week, approximately 65% of all parents visited the school. I would also like to interject herc that Center School has adopted a new policy in respect to parent- teacher relationships. All parents are cordially invited to visit the school at any time or make appointments to confer with teachers after school.
On October 24, the teaching staff attended a very excellent Teachers' Convention held at Greenfield.
December found the student body preparing to present a Christmas play for the annual Christmas church supper. The play, "A Christmas Fantasy", was presented and proved to be entertaining to all who attended.
Of great importance, was the salary schedule adopted by the school committee. A working schedule adds tremendously to the foundations of a secure school system.
In closing, I wish to state that I will sincerely try in every way possible to continue the enrichment of the cur- riculum and to maintain high educational standards at the Center School.
Respectfully submitted, DONALD F. FRANCIOSI Principal

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
In June, 1958, all children were weighed and measured. The tuberculosis patch tests were given. There was one re- action. Further investigation proved it to be negative.
The yearly physical examinations were done in Septem- ber by Dr. C. Keith Wilbur. There was one case of ringworm of the scalp.
The Puretone audiometer was used to test the hearing of all the children in October.
Dr. Abel Ross did the dental examinations in October. Again this year the conditions of the children's teeth were quite poor. One questionable case of trench mouth was treated by their family physician. Smear tests sent to Boston showed it to be a fungus condition very closely resembling trench mouth.
The Town Hall facilities were used again this year for the physicals and hearing examinations.
I wish to thank the teachers for their cooperation in all health matters and also Mr. Stanley Bartlett for the cleanli- ness of the school building.

REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR
Art classes at the Westhampton Center School are held every other week. One hour periods are given to each class- room.
For National Library week, the children in each class made posters or illustrations of books they had read to help create more interest in reading. Some from each classroom were chosen to be exhibited in the Town Library.
An exhibit of Art work during the school year was put up in the school, during the last three weeks of the school year. Each student had at least one picture exhibited. The fifth and sixth grades also displayed lettering sheets along with their exhibit of drawings and paintings. There will be exhibited again this year in May, paintings and drawings showing the use of many different techniques. I hope many parents will visit this exhibit and see the progress the children will have accomplished in the Art program this year.
I want to thank the Teachers and the School Committee for their interest, support, and the Art supplies, which make the Art program possible.
Respectfully submitted,
MARION S. BUTTON Art Supervisor

REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR
Mr. Walter Richard Superintendent of Schools Williamsburg, Mass.
Dear Mr. Richard:
I submit my report as Supervisor of Music in the West- hampton Center School.
During the first year, I teach many rote songs appro- priate for the month and special days of the year. These songs represent the foundation of music in which the child is in- terested. Rote singing develops cultivation of memory, power of imitation and creation of love for better music. Simple note reading is started. Notation is stressed with simple board drills and these drills are correlated with songs to be used in a beginners book. I would like to see a beginners book for the second grade so when they enter the next room, they can easily join in with the songs of their books.
The music program has been followed in the upper grades as to development of tone production, note reading, rhythm and theory. Theory is most important and most help- ful to pupils going to Junior High, to individuals studying outside the school and to the ones who do not continue, it gives them a knowledge of the fundamentals of music.
Grades five and six need books to bind in with the books they will be working from in the Williamsburg school and Mrs. Norris is in need of a better piano.
As I visit the schools only twice a month, it is impossible to get in all the programs of music and the success of music in these rooms is due to the efforts of teachers and pupils.
I wish to thank you, the school committee, teachers and pupils for their interest and helpfulness during the year.
Respectfully submitted, ELIZABETH TORREY Supervisor of Music

REPORT OF THE CENTER CEMETERY
Improvement work in the cemetery consisted of the fol- lowing when time and ambition would allow.
1. A barbed-wire fence was erected to enclose the new addition to the cemetery.
2. The new addition was harrowed, limed, fertilized and seeded to Domestic Rye to minimize erosion.
3. The soldiers monument was cleaned of moss and lichen growth by scraping and wire brushing.
4. The regrading project of the old part of the cemetery was continued in the spring and fall.
Maintenance work included painting some more of the fence and the usual raking, mowing, shrub trimming and the picking up of debris left over from winter. Several hours were spent gathering up glassware, pottery, cans and wreath frames that was tossed over the back fence over the years.
There were 8 burials this year.
The power mower was sharpened and a wooden rake was purchased.
537 hours of work was necessary to maintain and im- prove the cemetery.

REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
This was an exceptionally quiet year for the Fire De- partment. There were two minor building fires and one brush fire that could have attained disasterous proportions were it not for the prompt response of the volunteer firemen and others.
90 Open air fire permits were issued.
4 Power oil burner and 2 range oil burner permits.
3 LP gas storage permits.
Drills were held during the summer months, weather per- mitting. One such drill was performed to see if we had enough hose to reach the school from the nearest dependable water supply. We found we were short by several hundred feet of reaching the school with the large hose. 100 feet of additional hose was purchased to help overcome this situation. I am in hopes a hydrant will be installed near the school should the present water supply system be replaced with a larger main.
A large representation of volunteer firemen attended a very instructive meeting of lectures sponsored by the Southampton Fire Department. Speakers were the chiefs of Northampton and Easthampton and other members of these departments.
I attended several meetings in Williamsburg to which all fire chiefs of Hampshire County were invited. A Hampshire County Fire Mutual Aid System was organized. This is a system being adopted by all of the Western Massachusetts Counties to give additional fire apparatus aid to the small towns when needed. To make such a system work at top efficiency, the Hampshire County Commissioners were invited to one of these meetings. The Commissioners after hearing our plans agreed to finance the installation of a radio transmitter station and tower at Goshen that would cover the entire
53
County. Fire apparatus in all towns must eventually be equipped with radios to make such a system effective. Financial assistance from State Civil Defense is anticipated. I also attended Civil Defense meetings in Leeds and Belcher- town as representative of our local fire service.
All fire trucks are now equipped with flashing red lights and sirens thanks to Oliver Bishop.
New members joining the department are: Sidney Montague Gary Hickey
As forest warden, I must bring to your attention that there has been a change in the law increasing the penalties to not more than $1,000 fine for careless destruction of wood- land by fire. The town in which such a fire occurs may also recover the expense of extinguishing such a fire from the person so found guilty. This is an aftermath of the destructive forest fires of 1957.
I urge the townspeople to seriously consider the appro- priation of a sum of money toward replacing our 22-year old pumper. Opportunities to purchase a second hand or a government surplus or even a new pumper have appeared from time to time but we cannot act without available funds.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Finance Committee met twice during the past year. At a meeting held October 18, the committee authorized the selectmen to transfer funds to the Public Welfare and Board of Health accounts, and pay two bills from these accounts.
The matter of a town attorney was discussed and it was voted to have the chairman look into the matter further, and report at our next meeting.
It was also voted to authorize the selectmen to transfer sums not exceeding $25 from the Reserve Fund to other ac- counts without calling a meeting of the Finance Committee.
At a meeting held January 14, 1959, the committee studied the budgets for the year 1959.
Mrs. William Miller and Harold Wood presented and explained the school budget in detail. The Finance Committee felt the request to be reasonable and realistic and approved the budget of $44,022.25 as presented. The only item in the budget which increased noticably was tuition-an item over which the local School Committee has no direct control. The amount requested for this item is $16,340, an increase of about $3,500 over the 1958 expenditure. This one item now takes nearly one-third of the total school budget and has in- creased around $9,000 in the past two years.
Mr. Earl Gett presented the Selectmen's budget and ex- plained each item. Most of the requests were routine and un- changed from 1958. Since the number and variety of un- classified bills seem to increase each year, the amount re- quested for the contingent fund is increased from $150 to $300.
Westhampton's bill from the Hampshire County Retire- ment System for 1959 is $649.29 as against $118.26 for 1958. The Finance Committee felt the Selectmen should try to get an explanation of the increase from the County officials be- fore town meeting.
The Recreation Committee item was cut from $100.00 to $50.00 since the committee did not use the full amount in 1958.
55
The item for travel expense which has been in the budget for several years is replaced with an item for Town Officers Expense Account-$200. This is to pay town officers for gas, meals, etc., when on official business. The Finance Com- mittee felt the request was long overdue and approved it.
Another new item this year is Legal Counsel-$200. One never knows when the town will need legal advice or help for cither large or small matters and it seems wise to have an attorney we can call on if necessary.
You will also see an item for Dump Rental-$200. This is to renew our right to use the Easthampton Dump for another year. The Finance Committee suggested that the Selectmen try to make arrangements to rent the dump for two or three years at a time, thinking we might get a better rate and preclude the possibility of a yearly increase.
Other matters discussed included, the Stabilization Fund, the need to rebuild South Road (Route 66 to the Center) and North Road through the center, the need for more parking space at the center, the advisability of purchasing a second town truck and hiring another full time man, the comparative cost of plowing snow with town equipment and private cquip- ment, and the need of a new bridge at Pine Island Lake. The Finance Committee took no action on these matters but feel they are important and should be given serious thought by townspeople.
