Last year in this report, a chart was presented which showed grade enrollment figures since 1958. That year there were 103 pupils attending the Detroit School, last year there were 132, and as of February of this year, 137, an enrollment increase of thirty-three per cent over the past seven years. The number of local students attend-

ing high school since 1960 shows little increase until last year. Totals since that date are as follows:
1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 Now

This year, new teachers in the two upper-grade classrooms are Miss Ione Garcelon and Leroy Dixon. Miss Garcelon was a graduate of Eastern State Normal School at Castine, and has had several years of teaching experience; Mr. Dixon, a University of Maine graduate, last year taught at Brooks. These have been the only changes in school staff. We were very sorry to lose Mrs. Alice Killam as teacher of grades seven and eight. I am sure her services were much appreciated by the citizens of the town. However, we were fortunate to obtain Mr. Dixon for this position.
The financial statement shows a balance of $4,067.54 as of February 1st. A greater expenditure for tuition was expected the past year. This accounts for the greater part of the above balance. Presently, Detroit has 5 high school seniors attending Maine Central Institute. In grade eight there are 15 pupils. Presumably this will mean more students in high school next year. This number is always difficult to predict. However, many more are now staying through high school.
The interest of the Parent-Teacher Association in our school program is shown by the purchase of filmstrips, a filmstrip projector and screen, as well as other helpful items for the school during the past year. Such projects are greatly appreciated and gratefully acknowledged.
I want to express my appreciation to all the school staff for their hard work, and to the members of the school committee, town officials, and other interested citizens for their excellent cooperation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, GUY R. FISH Superintendent of Schools
