House was moved to airport site late in 1958 and remodeled in the spring of 1959. exchange for the surplus loam from the runway project. Aside from the Bond issue which is to be paid for from the revenue of the airport, the Town of Mansfield has gained nearly a half million dollar asset .without allocating funds to the project. Had we been able to complete the runway as per esti- mate we would have been able to continue with our Master Plan as originally planned. An article has been inserted in the 1960 Town Warrant to cover the cost of the taxiway extensions, fences and light- ing which is so necessary at this time. Flying activity in 1959 was hampered by the pro- longed period of muddy conditions and the con- struction of the new facilities. Credit is due to the contractors for their cooperation in keeping the field W open for flying as long as they did, a difficult job at times as the work was spread over the entire' landing area. There were 1550 hours flown, 5242 passengers enplaned or deplaned and 9802 landings made dur- ing the year. The Carleton -Whitney Aero Service' trained and issued 47 Student licenses, 11 Private` licenses, 2 Commercial Licenses and 1 Flight In- structors rating. There are now 22 aircraft based: at the field. This is a substantial record consider- ing the weather, construction and the lack of light- ing facilities for night flying.

A 12"x6" tapping sleeve and valve were installed on Male Street in order to install a new hydrant to the water system. This hydrant gives added protection to the pine forest on the Maple Street watershed.

The funds for this repair work came out of the maintenance appropriation. The Water Department is continually improving its watersheds. In West Mansfield and at Cate Spring when time allows, all brush is cut and burned and salvagable wood is sold for pulp wood. The brush along the pipe line that leads to the water reservoir is cut yearly. Brush is also cut off of Foolish Hill Reservoir, and burned yearly, and a fire break is harrowed yearly around the pines in Cate Spring watershed. This year 75 new water meters were bought by the department. These meters were installed iri new homes, and for replacement of old water meter, that were beyond repair. Some of the old meters that are out of order but still serviceable are 'sen back to the factory to be repaired, and are ther. put back in the water system. It is the recommendation of this Department that Article 23 of the annual Town Meeting Warrant bE given favorable consideration. The firm of Whit- man and Howard of Boston has determined that a new well in this East Mansfield area could producE 1,000,000 gallons of water per day which is a deft- nite asset for future expansions. Sewer Department In 1959, 300 feet of 6" sewer main were added to the present sewer system. This sewer main was installed on Myrtle Street, and the work was done by the sewer department personnel. This expan- sion also included one manhole and two new sewer services. The department installed 9 new sewer services to the present system, and 8 sewer services and 1 sewer main were unplugged during the year. Most of these stoppages were due to tree roots growing into pipes through the joints. The department adds chemicals once a year to the mains that cause trouble. One man continues to work at the sewer plant 1 The Zoning Board of Appeals for the Town of Mansfield, herewith submits its seventh Annual Report, covering its activities for the year 1959. Regular meetings of- the Board have been held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, and many of the citizens of the Town, who had problems dealing with details and procedures of the Zoning By -Law, have been informed and in- structed as to their rights and privileges. There have been a total of sixteen (16) Hear- ings held during the year on various petitions under the Zoning By -Law. Of these petitions, seven (7) were granted, and nine (9) were denied. There are no Court actions pending. The Board has received no petitions under the 24 daily. Lime and chlorine are added when needed. to effluent Late in 1959, the expansion work to the sewer disposal plant was started.

The Zoning Enabling Act, Chapter 40A of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts, was amended by action of the Legislature, the change becoming effective August 19th, 1959.

Guidance Services The School Committee has met many times this year in an effort to improve the services available to pupils in the high school. Among the areas studied thus far are the cafeteria, the library, and guidance. Other areas of the curriculum will be studied as time allows. Clerical assistance for the guidance office was provided, commencing last winter, so that more time could be devoted to interviewing pupils and making follow-up studies of graduates, two areas that were being neglected due to lack of time and an overload of pupils for on@ guidance counselor. Last spring a team from the State Department of Education spent a day in the high school evalu- ating the guidance services. As a result of their visit, the School Committee has doubled the size of the guidance staff, has provided office space for this added personnel, and has equipped the office with the necessary facilities for constructive guid- ance activities. We now have a full-time guidance counselor for grades seven and eight, and a full-time guidance counselor for grades nine through twelve. This brings the high school within the limits set for Massachusetts guidance services by the State Board of Education, under the authority of Public Law 85-864 (The National Defense Education Act), for the current year. These limits have been set as follows: 1958-1959—one full-time counselor to each 600 pupils. 1959-1960—one counselor to each 500 pupils. 1960-1961—one counselor to each 500 pupils. 1961-1962—one counselor to each 400 pupils. Ultimately, one counselor to each 300 pupils. Thus, to meet the standards and be eligible for continued reimbursement under this plan, the School Committee will have to consider the possibility of further guidance services by 1962 or 1963. The principal functions of the guidance division of a school may be classified as follows: a) Counseling interviews with every pupil, in- dividually and privately, one or more times each school year, and with the parents whenever possible. b) Keeping of suitable records for each student 33 c) Educational placement services for students and graduates in need of such services. d) Follow-up studies of pupils after they leave school at one, five, and ten-year intervals. e) Occupational and Educational Information for the use of all students. f) Cooperation and coordination of teachers, pu- pils, parents, and community for a better under- standing of the pupils and their problems. II. Enrollment Our pupil population continues the moderate but steady increase that commenced in 1943. During the eleven depression years our October 1 registration fell from 1389 to 1065, but during the succeeding eleven years, the registration increased by over 500 pupils, to a new high of 1581. Since 1954, the school enrollment, as of October 1, has risen to 1728, and present indications are that this rate of increase will continue for a number of years. Projection of current enrollments shows that the high school load will reach a temporary peak within a year or two and then drop off slightly for several years, due to the present low enrollments in the elementary grades. During the latter half of this decade, high school enrollments will again rise and will surpass the 850 mark. Elementary enrollments will begin to increase in another year or two and should go somewhat above 1.050 by 1965. 1II. United States Defense Education Act of 1958 Many articles have appeared in the national press during the past year about the benefits to be de- rived under the provisions of the National Defense Education Act of 1958. This legislation provides funds for improvement in many phases of public education from elementary school through graduate school. We are primarily concerned with the effect upon our local school system. There are two phases of this program that are of immediate benefit to our schools: Title III—Provides funds for the strengthening of instruction in Science, Mathematics, and Modern Foreign Languages. Title V—Provides financial assistance for Guid- ance, Counseling, Testing Identification, and En- couragement of Able Students. During 1959, the School Committee has made three applications for funds under Title III, and two applications under 'Title V. Each fund is separate and different from the other. Title V funds have been in the nature of outright grants to the school for specific purposes: a) To provide testing materials for grades eight and ten. b) To furnish equipment, reference materials, and reference services for a new guidance office. Title III funds have been matching funds in the form of reimbursements up to one-half of the cost of approved items for the areas listed above. Title V funds have been based on the local high school enrollment in relation to the total state enrollment, and have amounted to approximately 75 cents per pupil for the testing materials, and $1.00 per pupil for the equipment and reference materials. For the school year 1959-1960, the funds amount to about 95 cents per pupil, and are being used to re- imburse nearly 6%o of the salaries of guidance per- sonnel. To date the town has received a total of $985.55 for guidance implementation, and will re- ceive some $765 during the current fiscal year. Applications and allotments until Title III are based upon a different state formula and thus far have been expressed in terms of ratios of our Chap- ter 70 funds. These are matching funds and the local district must lay out at least as much as the government contributes for approved projects. Un- der this Title, Mansfield High School has made ap- plication for approval of the projects, as follows: Science $2,369.81 Mathematics 898.00 Languages 200.00 Total $3,467.81 These projects have all been approved, subject to a few minor adjustments, and Federal allotments of $1,719.05 have been received by the Town Treasurer. Due to the tremendous purchasing brought about by the passage of this Act, national manufacturers and suppliers have been unable to make deliveries on schedule. Therefore, it has been necessary for the School Committee, with the approval of the State Department of Municipal Accounting, to set aside a sum of $680.00 from the 1959 budget to cover match- ing sums for articles and equipment obligated for last fall, but not yet received. Beginning in 1960,' funds under Title III will be allocated as reimbursements. This will necessitate 34 1.00% payment by the local district and requests for reimbursement upon proof of payment. Applications under this Title are lengthy and de- tailed, and made only after careful consideration of the improvements in instruction to be realized through the use of the new materials. IV.

Continued a program of replacing old teachers' desks in the elementary schools. These are desks that have been in use for the past thirty or more years. Repairs have been made on them from time to time as needed, but the desks have reached a condition where repairs are no longer feasible. This program will be completed in 1960, with the replacement of some four or five units. New pupil furniture has been provided in the high school to accommodate the increasing enrollments. Report of the High I herewith submit my third annual report as Principal of Mansfield High School: Enrollment by Grades The enrollment at the present time is as follows: Grade Boys Girls Total 1958 7 93 76 169 174 8 84 77 161 127 9 70 60 130 141 10 65 63 128 117 11 47 62 109 107 12 52 48 100 85 411 386 797 751 Besides those students entering the high school from grade six, thirty-six others have either moved to Mansfield or transferred to the Mansfield High School from other schools. Since the opening of school, thirty-eight students have left: twenty have moved out of town, ten have transferred to other schools, seven have left to work and one left to be married. It is anticipated that 857 pupils will enroll in September, 1960, an increase of 60 over the present enrollment. This clearly indicates, that with the incoming seventh grade of 160 plus the 169 des- tined for the eighth grade, we will have 329 in the junior wing. The senior high total will approximate 528 in fifteen homerooms, using all available rooms filled to capacity. This is an increase in population of 61 in this section. The buildings are in fairly good shape, considerin their age, type of construction, and other limita tions, and it is in the best interest of the town t' continue the present maintenance program to kee them in this condition. Your attention is called to the reports which follow. At this time I recognize the cooperative effort of the entire school system toward the betterment of our educational process, and thank the individuals concerned for their continued support and assist- ance. Also the parents, citizens of Mansfield, and the school committee, and other town officials for their enthusiastic and thoughtful support of the program. Respectfully submitted, Theron B. Thompson, Superintendent School Principal Because of the increased enrollment we will have to supplement our teaching staff by at least two new faculty members. Enrollment by Curricula The enrollment by curricula for grades 9-12 is as follows: College Home Ind. Grade Prep. Business Ec. Arts General Total 9 63 38 6 18 7 132 10 62 34 3 16 20 135 11 49 31 20 20 0 120 12 54 31 6 225 134 35 13 1 102 67 28 489 Students in the seventh and eighth grades are not included in the above table since they have a sep- arate prescribed course in general education and all students take the following subjects: Subjects Periods per Week English 5 Mathematics 5 Social Studies 5 Science and Health 5 Spelling 3 Personal Growth 2 Penmanship 2 Industrial Arts or Home Economics 2 Music 1 Art 1 Physical Education 1 There are sixty-seven boys enrolled in the course in industrial arts and thirty-five girls registered un- der the home economics course. Of these, thirty- eight boys and twenty girls are taking double periods each day. Students in the first year of each program take the major subject for only a single period be- cause of the number of required subjects in that grade, but if they continue in the same curriculum in succeeding years, they will carry a double period of work each year. Students who are not registered under the home economics or industrial arts curri- culum may take the course for a single period dur- ing the last two years in high school provided they have not had it before. At the present time there are eleven boys and nine girls who are taking these courses on an elective basis. Curriculum 0" Evaluation . In cooperation with the State Department of Ed- ucation and the New England Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools, the self-evaluation of Mansfield High School was launched in early Sep- tember 1959. A steering committee of ten was appointed and headed by Miss Elsa Henchel. The function of this group is to guide all sub -committees through to the completion of the final evaluation. The Sub -Committee on Pupil Population and School Community, chairmaned by Henry Lemieux, fur- nished important statistical data which aided the committee on the Educational Needs of Youth (Mr. Payden, Chairman) , to arrive at its conclusions. These were presented and accepted by the entire staff. Every area of learning, administration, and maintenance, is studied and evaluated by the various committees. Schedules have been arranged for dis- cussion and approval by the faculty. On March 2, 3, 4, Mr. John Millane, State Supervisor of Sec- ondary Education, will chairman a group of ad- ministrators, supervisors, teachers, and maintenance personnel appointed by New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools to study the self- evaluation and conduct their own evaluation based on personal observation. Conclusions reached will be presented to the staff and school committee at an assembly on Friday, March 4, 1960. Science Library We are fortunate in -being one of the four schools in this area to have been chosen to participate in the program sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This consists of a Traveling High School Science Library of 200 books which rotates in units of 50 books among the four schools, and is set up in the school library under the supervision of Mrs. Gulan. We have already had one unit and are in the process of finishing unit two. Science teachers have cooperated one -hundred per. - 36 37 cent by giving assignments in the various books. Circulation cards are used to provide information showing how much use has been made of the ma- terial available. To date, we are proud to say, the students have made excellent use of the books'. Teachers have also made comments and offered suggestions concerning the overall program. The program of formal instruction in proper use of the library has been continued. Grades seven, eight, and nine completed a week's study in the library, which ended with an examination by the librarian. Results were satisfactory. Encourage- ment has been given to the faculty and students alike in more use of the library facilities. The Science program has been greatly strength- ened this year by the addition of long needed equip- ment, made available through the National Defense Act and School Committee. The physics classes this year have been extended to seven periods, two of which are laboratory. Driver Education The driver education program has been enlarged this year enabling students to take the course dur- ing periods one and seven (homeroom period) . Ap- proximately one hundred twenty have enrolled, cre- ating the problem of handling a larger group in road instruction. Whereas it is mandatory to have at least six hours' instruction behind the wheel, it will become necessary to have the instructor spend more time daily outside school time with the stu- dents, or add an additional instructor, thereby in- creasing the number eligible for the road tests given by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Mechanical Drawing is no longer offered as part of the shop course but as a regularly scheduled class, Monday through Thursday, during period seven, ( Study -Activity Period) . An elementary course is taught on Tuesday and Thursday, while the advanced course is taught on Monday and Wed- nesday. It is a two -credit course open to sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors. Study -Activity Period This year the homeroom period has been changed to the last period of the school day, 1:25-2:15 p. m. Many reasons are offered: 1. All students grades 7-12 have the same home- room period. 2. It is a longer period for band, glee club, etc. 3. Eliminates loss of : time from academic classes for assemblies, rallies, etc.. 4. Students dismissed at 1:25 p. m. for work or sports do not miss classes. 5. Definite time for all students to participate in clubs, rehearsals for plays, school yearbook or paper, etc. 6. Guidance work may be given pupils during this period such as tests, interviews, counselling etc. 7. Individual help for all pupils regardless of lunch schedule. 8. Elimination of scheduled corridor duty. Clubs Grades 7-8 Dramatic French Gym—Boys and Girls Hobby (2 clubs) Homemaking Junior Red Cross The Junior Times Mathematics Science Woodworking Literary Game Clubs Grades 9-12 Boosters Dramatic French Future Nurses of America Gym—Boys and Girls Music—School Dance Band Projector Science (4 clubs—Grs. 9-12) Spanish Tatler (School Paper) Woodworking Future Teachers of America Student Councils Both junior and senior wings have a Student Council, which- work with the faculty in planning assemblies and the preparation of a handbook for students. The senior wing Student Council has as a project a school store where it sells book covers, pennants, pins, and items which boost athletic contests. This is under the supervision of the faculty advisor and is run during the study -activity periods. Honor Societies Mansfield High School now has two National Honor Societies. On May 21, 1959, the Edward P. Fitts Chapter 38 #631, National Junior Honor Society was reacti- vated. Fifty-one candidates from grades 7, 8, and 9 were inducted into membership by the nine charter members of the National Honor Society of the senior wing. On April 16, the same charter members installed twelve candidates, six sophomores and six juniors, into the National Honor Society. Both installations reviewed the societies' objec- tives; namely, Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Citi- zenship, and Character. Certificates and pins were awarded following the candlelight ceremony. The program of awarding varsity letters in schol- arship has continued, with nine seventh and eighth graders and twenty high school students receiving them. Physical Education The activities of the high school physical edu- cation program are directly concerned with educat- ing boys and girls. As the activities of the program are selected, their value to the individual is ap- praised from the standpoint of the following objec- tives: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and recreational development. The physical objective includes strength tests, endurance, agility, coordination skills, posture and reserve strength. The social objectives seek to surround the acti- vities of the program with conditions that are con- ducive to the development of favorable traits of character and personality. The recreational objectives in physical education are primarily to give in school hours the inclination, skill, and knowledge that will result in many more hours of beneficial activity in hours, after school is out, or in years after school has been finished. The emotional objective is two -fold. The first is to develop a sure ability to control the stronger emotions through practice in situations where emo- tional stimulation occurs. The second phase of emo- tional development is not so much the conspicuous feelings as with the everyday less noticeable traits. The intellectual objective. Learning is accomp- lished by doing. When a skill has been fairly well mastered, continued learning is provided by adding complimentary factors or by more intricate organi- zation. All activities in our program are initiated at the proper level, depending upon previous ex- perience of the group, and upon mental and physical maturity. In addition to acquiring skills, our program of physical education teaches a considerable body of knowledge and a considerable opportunity for as- sociative thinking. The rules for class procedure, rules for games technique or performing funda- mentals, and the keen strategy that plays such an important part in the sports would provide oppor- tunities for the highest type of intellectual develop- ment, that type which influences and modifies per- formance. under Coach Sullivan, the basketball team captured the Class C title in the Bay State Basketball Tourn- ament last March while the latter, under 'Coach Parsons, the football team won the Class D State Championship this past fall. At the present writing the boys are leading in the Hockomock League in basketball. Congratulations to the teams and the coaches. Practice and perseverence have paid off handsomely. Conclusion Our testing program includes two nationally ac- cepted physical fitness tests. The Amateur Athletic Union of the United States Physical Fitness Test is administered once a year, and the Kraus -Weber Test of Minimum Physical Fitness is administered twice a year. The purpose is to measure Mansfield's per- formance against country and world-wide standards. Also tested are specific skill in basketball, base- ball, track, gymnastics and ;apparatus work. This year we have inaugurated a new six-year per- manent record card which enables us at a glance to follow the normal growth and development of the students throughout the high school. At the same time we adopted a special report card to par- ents which will be sent home with the regular re- port cards. These cards will go home at mid -year and in June. We feel that these bi-annual reports facilitate a more comprehensive analysis of each student in his physical education program. The program stimulates increased interest and skill through intramural schedules in volley ball, basketball, plus gymnastics, which are offered to boys in intermediate and advanced courses via the gym team which meets every day from December through March. At present we have forty boys par- ticipating. This year we will engage in three inter- scholastic dual gymnasium meets. Athletically, Mansfield has enjoyed one of its best years in basketball and football. In the former, "Progress Is Our Most Important Product" con- tinues to exist at Mansfield High School. Courses of Study Outlines were completed and distributed and the long process of self-evaluation began and is continuing while this report is being read. Teachers have been most cooperative, giving of their time freely to get the job done and done well. Many hours have gone into and are going into this Herculean task which we are aware will reveal our strengths and weaknesses. It is with this thought in mind that special attention must be given to the recommendations made by the Visiting Evaluation Committee and immediate action taken. I heartily recommend that the school committee allow all those participating in this venture credits towards their increments requirements. I suggest a study of this suggestion be followed up by an awarding of this request. May I take this opportunity to offer my sincere appreciation for the cooperation of the school com- mittee, you, Mr. Thompson, the faculty, supervisors, cafeteria workers, custodians, secretarial staff and parents. Respectfully submitted, Harold L. Qualters, Principal Report of the Guidance Director The class of 1959 gives every indication that it has made good use of secondary school training. Educational plans were quite thorough and were very faithfully followed. A total of thirty-two went on to some type of full-time training and four more are attending schools at night. This is a very good pace for Mansfield and shows an increased rate of general interest. Also indicative of the times is the variation and extent of training centers chosen, which is be- coming more and more of a problem as students shop for acceptance. This class spread out as fol- lows: Bridgewater State Teachers, Boston Uni- 39 versity, Brown, Colgate, Columbia, Fairfield, Har- vard, Mater Christi Institute, Maine Maritime, Ny- ack, Ohio Wesleyan, Stonehill, University of Massa- chusetts, and Wheaton. Also included, for shorter training, were Brockton Hospital, Fisher Junior Col- lege, Burdett College, Chandler's Business School, Wyndham Business School, Peabody School for Girls, Mansfield Beauty Academy, and Vermont Academy. Night courses are at Burdett and Northeastern. The work picture of the class is also good. At the time of this report, all are employed except one, and this latter is incapacitated for health reasons. Local employers were S. W. Card Division, Fred Wills' Insurance Agency, Mansfield Chocolate Com- pany, Fairfield Optical Company, Acorn Manufactur- ing Company, F. W. Woolworth's, Sterling Manufac- turing Company, George's Cleansing Service, West Mansfield Garage, The Highway Department, The First National Stores and Morini's Market. Out- of-town employment was at Factory Mutual, Metals and Controls, The Foxboro Company, Foxboro State Hospital, Wells Manufacturing, Fales Machinery, and Swank's Inc. These concerns from the neigh- boring towns absorbed twenty-one from this class while the local firms employed twenty. One listed himself as self-employed on a traveling basis. Nine boys and one girl are in the Armed Services, and one is in the category of homemaker. Testing played an important part for the majority as they went about the business of developing plans for the future. Those who made a bid toward ad- ditional schooling were required to show ability to meet competition through one or more specified tests. In many cases of job seeking, especially in business, testing was essential, especially in English, spelling, and skill aptitudes. The Armed Forces, Civil Service, and the Employment Security Office continue the wide use of test batteries for consid- eration in jobs, training, or advancement. The use of tests as a classifying tool is on the increase as more and more graduates vie for work or recogni- tion; it is frequently a poor situation created by the f j pressure of numbers but, nevertheless, a situation that is very real. In the overall school outlook, the graduating class gave a very good account of itself, not only at the top level (with its $15,000 in scholarship awards) but right down the whole line. Underclassmen, too, gave definite signs of recognizing the competitive years that lie immediately ahead and are willing, more and more, to meet the challenge with serious determination. In the promotion of that spirit for each individual lies the greatest potential for im- provement, now, and in the future. Prospects would brighten if every student in the school was effec- tively motivated and possessed some sense of di- rection. As aids to this individual motivation, books, lit- erature, vocational information, and equipment were also added with funds obtained through the Na- tional Defense Education Act. The School Com- mittee also moved to strengthen the Guidance De- partment by assigning Miss Caroline Walsh as a full-time counselor at the seventh and eighth grade level. In general, it is expected that Mansfield will meet most of the standards set up by the Massa- chusetts Plan for Guidance as adopted and approved by the Federal Government. Respectfully submitted, Henry A. Lemieux, Director Report of the ]Dental Hygienist Dental examinations of 1041 children were made during September and October. Any dental defect noted at the time was referred by note to the par- ent for correction by the family dentist. A record on a dental chart is made for each child and kept for future reference. A total of 807 prophlaxes, and 1006 sodium flou- ride treatments have been completed. There has been a very definite improvement in dental resto- rations in reference to records of last year. Consultations have been held with child, parent, and family dentist when necessary. Class room visits are planned for Dental Health Week, (Feb. 7-14). At this time there will be dis- cussions and explanations concerning good oral hy- giene, nutrition, toothbrush technique, and sodium flouride treatments. I wish to thank the town manager, board of selectmen, all school personnel, our respective den- tists, and the community for their cooperation in the dental health program.
