At the Annual Town Election in May, 1976 Guy A. Carbone was elected a member of the Board of Selectmen for a three year term. At the first meeting held thereafter the Board organized by electing Patrick B. Ford as Chairman and by electing Guy A. Carbone as Clerk of the Board of Selectmen. August M. Stiriti was reappointed Administrative Assistant to the Board of Selectmen for the ensuing year, Helen Perez was reappointed Confidential Secretary of the Board of Selectmen, Carole A. Patricelli was reappointed Clerk in the Selectmen's Department, Louis P. Andrew was reappointed Personnel Assistant to the Board of Selectmen, assigned to the Personnel Board, and Edward G. Seferian, Esquire, was appointed Town Counsel of the Town of Watertown. The Board held regular weekly meetings throughout the year, generally on Mondays at 3: 30 p.m., with the exception of the summer months which were devoted to bi-weekly meeting and except for a number of special meetings which were held in connection with matters of unusual importance. The numerous routine duties of our office were carried out in the usual manner and entailed the granting of various licenses, permits and other matters that legally required our attention. We also affixed our signature to various documents which are required annually for the Town to pursue its normal functions. The Board met regularly as the Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works with Department Heads, reviewing with them the operation of their departments and demanding strict adherence to department budgets, to hopefully reduce some elements of municipal expense, particularly since there appears to be no major relief in sight for the already overburdened taxpayer. Watertown will continue to recognize its obligation to the Town Employees, while assessing the relative wealth of the Town as well as the growth of assessed valuation. In the area of Public Employee Collective Bargaining Act, governing contract negotiations between municipal employees and the Town, the Town was able to go to Special Town Meeting, November 22, 1976, with signed two-year contracts with Local 1210 Town Employees, Municipal Library Employees, Town Hall Associates and the Parking Control Officers, also the Watertown Police Association with a Final Offer Binding Arbitration Award in their favor, concerning negotiations with the Town, including increases in salary and other, for one year effective July 1, 1975, which is recorded in the Record of said Special Town Meeting in the Town Clerk's Report hereinbefore noted ; and which means that where the Police Officers and Town were unable to reach agreement on the collective bargaining contract, the dispute is referred to an arbitrator. The arbitrator is 16 required under the statute to choose between the last best offers of the two sides. His decision is final and binding and must be submitted to the Town Meeting for approval within 30 days. The municipality has no alternative but to fund the arbitrators decision. The Board of Selectmen is of the opinion that Binding Arbitration is the Town's biggest problem, and as has been stated by some other, " Binding Arbitration violates the principle of government that charges public management officials with providing service the public wants. It puts the decision-making in a back room with persons not in any way accountable to those who pay." At this writing the Selectmen are in receipt of a Fact Finder's Report concerned with the Town's Fire Fighters, Local 1347, and negotiations for period Fiscal 1977. It is desired that we negotiate an agreement with the Fire Fighters without the necessity of resorting to Final Offer and Binding Arbitration. The Selectmen's Office was responsible for receipts in the amount of $59,409.00 for fiscal year ending June 30, 1976, the source of revenue being from the issuance of Licenses and Permits. The Board of Selectmen has taken an active interest in the operation of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) by participating in the activities of the MBTA Advisory Board of Review. The Chairman of the Board of Selectmen is ex-officio MBTA Advisory Board member, with John J. Carver of Watertown, being appointed by the Board of Selectmen as the Town's Designee to the MBTA Advisory Board, who participates in MBTA deliberations and studies. The Board of Selectmen has been successful in improving notonly the quantity butalso the quality of service for the Town. Watertown's deficit assessment for MBTA service for 1976 has increased from $866,508.66 for 1975, to $1,134,829.83 for 1976, an increase of $268,321.17. Traffic flow improvements were completed in Watertown Square during 1971. Improvements were funded by Town-State-Federal shares with the major funding by the TOPICS (Traffic Operations Programs for Increasing Capacity and Safety) Program. The TOPICS Project while increasing capacity and safety, also eliminated approximately 80 curbside parking spaces. The Town, desiring to replace the eliminated spaces by constructing additional off-street parking, filed application with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and the Federal Highway Administration for funding of off-street Replacement Parking, with approval of the funding for alterations to the existing municipal lot between Church and Spring Streets and construction of a new lot on the old railroad right-of-way between Thaxter and Cross Streets. The Town, to obtain consultant services to produce documents for necessary effectuation, hired a Transportation & Planning firm to prepare construction plans, specifications, estimates and all other documents necessary to complete construction of the proposed replacement parking. Progress and planning meetings have been held with the Town Planning Board, Board of Library Trustees and other affected parties, including the Massachusetts Department of Public Works (MDPW). At this writing we are awaiting construction document submissions to be made to the Town and the MDPW at the twenty-five(25) percent and 17 seventy-five (75) percent completion stages for review and comment, and hopefully, the project to be put out on bid by the MDPW for construction work with groundbreaking in early summer of 1977. The Special Town Meeting of November 22, 1976 (Article 21) voted the establishment oLan Industrial Development Financing Authority for industrial development purposes, pursuant to Chapter 40D of the Massachusetts General Laws. An Industrial Financing Authority is a vehicle whereby a construction or expansion program by an industry, acceptable to a Town, is approved at the local level, as an initial step for that industry obtaining funds through the issuance of bonds to finance its construction or expansion at lower interest rates than would otherwise be available. The community does not guarantee the bonds, nor does it have any exposure in the event the project fails. All of the processing costs are paid by the borrower. It is hoped that the establishment of said Financing Authority will result in increased job opportunities for Watertown residents,upgrade deteriorating industrial buildings, halt the exodus of business firms from the community, and further strengthen or increase our industrial base. In April of 1976 the Board of Selectmen engaged an engineering consulting firm to furnish the engineering services in performing an Inflow/Infiltration Study (I/I) for connections to the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) interceptor system, same being a water pollution and abatement project and an extension flow gaging program to establish the volume of 1/1 discharge within the MDC system by the Town of Watertown ; to determine if high I/I is suspected. The Town filed a Facilities Plan Grant Application for funding of the Project, a Step I Planning and Step II Design of Relief Interceptor Sewers in the,Watertown Square and Arlington Street areas, with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) providing 75 percent grants for such analysis and the Massachusetts Division of Water Pollution Control (MDWPC) to provide an additional 15 percent grant when the I/1 studies are undertaken in connection with specific construction projects or when the studies result in rehabilitation work ; with rehabilitation work also eligible for 75 percent EPA and 15 percent MDWPC grants. The I/I analysis is considered an important step in strengthening its sewerage system and improving service to member communities. The Town Meeting (Article 10, STM, 12/8/75) did vote $2,080,000 for said subject work with conditions that 90 percent of said sum be secured from Federal and State sources, as hereinbefore stated. At this writing the Town's Engineering Consulting firm performing the I/I Study is 7.3 percent completed. In the Playground Reconstruction Program (Article 110 of the 1974 ATM) namely, capital improvements to the West End Park, Parker Field, Lowell Field, Victory Field and Saltonstall Park, reconstruction has progressed and work at Victory Field, Parker Field and Lo�rell Field has been com- pleted except for lighting at Parker Field. The work consisted of new lawns, lawn sprinkler systems, new ball fields, eleven (10 new tennis courts and four (4) new basketball courts. Victory Field and Saltonstall Park reconstruction is expected to be completed in 1977. 18 In order to prepare for the Town's participation in the 1976 Bicentennial Celebration, the Board of Selectmen established the Bicentennial Celebration Committee, chaired by Edward Donnelly and assisted by Secretary Joanna R. Carey and Stoughton B. Holden, Administrative Assistant. The activities of the said Celebration Committee is noted in the Report of the Bicentennial Celebration Committee cited herein. The Board of Selectmen wish to express their deep appreciation for the vital services rendered by members of the Bicentennial Celebration Committee, their devotion of time and talent to our community being commendable and noteworthy, their per- formance of service in this eventful Bicentennial Year will long be re- membered. In concluding this report, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to the various Boards, Commissions, Committee, and Town employees, who have contributed their talents to Town Affairs, and to our Administrative Assistant and the office staff for the efficient and dedicated service they have rendered in our behalf.

McDermott Clerk Chairman BOARD OF SELECTMEN 20 TOWN CLERK JULY 1, 1975 through JUNE 30, 1976 Over the years, municipal clerks have become the hub of government, the direct link between the inhabitants of the towns and their government. The clerk is the historian of his community, for the entire recorded history of the town and its people is in his care. As this Bicentennial year draws to a close, I am both proud and grateful that the people of Watertown enabled me to celebrate this year, in part, by electing me to this great office. I shall make every possible effort to maintain the tradition of excellence in public service practiced for so long by the late George B. Wellman. My staff and I will endeavor to help you in any way that we can. This is your office of public records, vital statistics and general information. Quinton B.

I am very pleased that your Town's Bicentennial Celebration has been ranked among the best for the various events held over the past year and a half to bring an awareness to our Townspeople of the historical background of Great Little Watertown. As you probably all know the Second and Third Provincial Congresses met here in '75 and 176 during the crisis days after the revolution and so many grave decisions were made in the Meeting house standing then on what is now Common Street Cemetery. We have brought this history alive with historic house tours and are now in the process of establishing The Fowle House- where all these leaders met during that time-as a National Historic landmark. We had a bicycle tour of historic sites and you can get a map of this tour at our trailer, so you can bring your guests this summer onyour own. We have also received notoriety because we are the only Bicentennial Committee in the country to have a local tour guide printed in Braille. We were honored to welcome and entertain The First Calvary Troop of Pennsylvania as they reenacted General Washington's Trip to Watertown to present his papers to The Provincial Congress and take over the Army in Cambridge. We were also pleased to welcome Colonel Henry Knox and his men after their tiring days of dragging cannon from Fort Ticonderoga. Our Firemen's Muster was the first so close to the city and brought the famous Budweiser Horses for our big parade. This year's will be even bigger and better. Most of you came to either our Colonial or Heritage Balls or placed something in our Time Capsule buried in front of the Town Hall that will be opened on our Town's 400th Birthday. I could go on but I am sure you have read our publicity. So much for our report on some of our past events. My request now brings us to our next program. Our 4th of July Parade. We have a hard working committee who have planned, with what monies are available, on a 4th of July Celebration on this occasion of the 200th Birthday of these United States. We are not going to try to compete with the Police Xmas Parades. We only want a large local celebration. We have plans for a few floats but the success or failure of this program depends on you- our townspeople- for your active participation. 44 Most of you work for businesses or belong to clubs or fraternal organizations. I am appealing to you tonight, to take an active part in the parade itself. Are you a car salesman? Put in your latest model or show off your antique cars. Can the Conservation Commission put in an environmental float? Can your ethnic organization show off your native costumes? Are you a frustrated Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bundy? Spend $20.00 and rent a costume and pass out lollipops. How about a business putting in a float? One of your home remodelers can depict 200 years of progress from outhouses to bidettes. These are only a few ideas. We are willing to work with you. Time is getting short. Contact the Bicentennial Headquarters or any member of the Committee. Join the fun! Dress up the whole family and march along with us. We are giving prizes for the best clown 7-70. The parade will end at Victory Field with an old fashion Band Concert and the usual Gala Celebra- tion taking place. What better way to celebrate our Nation's Birthday. Take the time- it won't happen again for another 100 years. In closing I would like to publicly thank the members of the library staff, under Sigrid Reddy and Jim Clark, Public Works Administrator, without whose help most of our events would not have been possible. Thank you also to the Finance Committee and the Board of Selectmen who have given us the support we needed. s/ Joyce Munger 45 IN MEMORIAM G. JOHN GREGORY On September 9, 1975, G. John Gregory passed away. He had been a Town Meeting Member for twenty-five years and will be remembered for his courage in speaking on controversial issues no matter how unpopular his position might be. John was born in a small town in Cilicia on September 23, 1902, was graduated from St. Paul's College in Tarsus and taught school for a while in Cypress. In 1922 he immigrated to the United States and was graduated from Western Reserve College in Cleveland. Forty-four years ago he came to make his home in Watertown and soon became part of the community taking a zealous interest in local affairs,both civic and religious, and as a leader in the Armenian cultural life of the town. His talents and abilities were soon recognized and he served for nine years as an appointed member of the Massachusetts Board of Education. He also served for many years as a member of the Watertown School Committee and was a member and a deacon of the First Baptist Church of Watertown. He was a very active participant in many varied civic, religious and philanthropic organizations. He was, by profession the founder and director for thirty-seven years of the Bureau of Vocational Guidance, Inc. of Boston. The passing of G. John Gregory marks the end of a generation of grateful Armenians who came to this country with a fierce love of freedom from oppression, intolerance and religious persecution, and with a deep apprecia- tion of all the blessings available to them in their adopted country, so conducted themselves as to instill in their sons and daughters love of country and pride in their heritage, and respect for the opinions and rights of others. G. John Gregory will be remembered as such a man. Therefore, be it resolved that this memorial be permanently inscribed on the records of the Town Meeting, and a copy be sent to the family of G. John Gregory. Respectfully submitted, s/ Martin V. Tomassian s/ Vahan J. Kachadoorian s/ Joseph C. Zaino 46 IN MEMORIAM PHILIP F. GROGAN Philip F. Grogan provided many of us as individuals, and this Town Meeting as a body, with wise and learned legal counsel. lie served as Towm Clerk from February 2, 1974 until his sudden death on July 4, 1975, faithfully continuing a long tradition of impartial and responsible service. Philip Grogan contributed his time, energies and skills to the Town as a member of the Watertown Finance Committee, serving from 1958 until 1963 ; as Assista nt Town Counsel from 1963 until 1965 ; and as Town Counsel from 1965 until 1974. He served as appointed Town Clerk from February, 1974, until his election to this office in May 1974. 'Ilse roots of Philip Grogan's family ran deeply into the life and history of this Town, touching the lives of many of its citizens. He was a native of Watertown, born February 28, 1916,a son of Dr. Thomas F. and Margaret C. (Sheehan) Grogan, and chose to spend his entire lifetime as a contributing citizen of this community. Philip Grogan combined intelligence and learning, developed at Boston Latin School, Holy Cross College, and Boston College Law School, and an association with the leaders of this State and Town to earn a reputation as an expert in legislation and governmental law. His innovative and well- researched legal defenses of the Town, given without stint of time and with no regard for adequate compensation, served the Town extremely well. Philip Grogan had remarkable insight into people and their natures and was able to provide many of his friends and associates in law and govern- ment with wise personal counsel and advice. His thoughtful concern, care and love as a husband to Loretta (MacLellan) Grogan, and as a brother, uncle, and friend provide us with a model to emulate. We miss Philip Grogan's presence, his wit, and his friendship. Therefore, be it RESOLVED by this Town Meeting, that these expressions be inscribed in the permanent records of the Town of Watertown. . . and that a copy be provided for his wife, Loretta, and that the Town Meeting pause in its deliberations for a moment of silence for the late Philip F. Grogan. Respectfully submitted, Robert M. Ford Charles'J. Tobin August M. Stiriti COMMITTEE 47 IN MEMORIAM HENRY HANSEN JR. 1897-- 1975 Henry Hansen Jr. was educated in Boston, and graduated from the High School of Commerce, and then attended Bentley College. Mr. Hansen was employed by Employer's Liability Insurance Company in the Personnel Department, and also on the Methods and Planning Department. Service to his Town included membership on the Personnel Board from 1963 to 1965. He also was a distinguished member of the Finance Committee from 1968 to his death on July 5, 1975. His dedication to service on the Finance Committee earned him the respect of all, and his unselfish giving of his personal time working on various budgets of the Town made us aware of the deep concern he felt for the Town, and earned him the respect of those departments whose budgets he monitored. He was a man that believed that our form of government and its officials were created for the benefit of all of the citizens, and this tenet held him in esteem by all who worked with him, and by his fellow town citizens. To those who worked with Henry, it can well be said, every endeavor he set out to do was accomplished with dispatch, and thoroughness. The Memorial Committee moves that this Memoriam be made part of the records of this Town Meeting, and that a copy be sent to the widow of Henry Hansen, Jr. Committee on Memorial Resolution, Henry Hansen, Jr. John J.

TOWN CLERK'S REMARKS As per section 19 of the By-Laws of the Inhabitants of Watertown, the Moderator may only vote at Town Meetings in the event of a tie vote. On two occasions, at this Town Meeting, the Moderator was required to cast the deciding vote. These rare occurances deserve comment. In the first case, reconsideration of the Budget line item, under Personnel Board-Senior Clerk and Typist was granted on a standing vote of 67 to 63. The subsequent vote on the lower amount, " no appropriation", ended in a tie, 63 to 63. The Moderator voted in favor of" no appropriation". The recorded roll call vote was then requested, and " no appropriation" was defeated 67 to 64. Finally the higher amount of$100 was voted, 65 to 62 on a standing vote. In the second case, the Moderator broke a 42 to 42 tie on a motion to table Article 46, by voting against the motion. The Article was then adopted on a voice vote. James E.

Glennon at 7: 45 P.M. Officer's return on Warrant was read by Town Clerk, James E. Fahey, Jr. Attendance: Number of Town Meeting Members present as reported by records of checkers, Quinton B. Jones and Francis McGloin: 103 Moderator Robert J. Glennon recognized Mr. Edward G. Seferian, Town Counsel to make opening remarks concerning the proceedings called for in the Special Town Meeting Warrant of October 18, 1976. His remarks are as follows: On September 7, 1976 the Selectmen called a Special Town Meeting for Monday, October 18, 1976 with the closing date for the filing of Articles for the Warrant set for September 20, 1976 at 5: 00 P.M. On August 4, 1976 the Governor signed into law a bill requiring fourteen days (14) notice and publication of Warrant for a Special Town Meeting (Chapter 272 of the Acts of 1976). Confusion existed on the part of legislative Counsel as to whether this law went into effect after a thirty day(30) or sixty day (60) passage. On September 24, 1976 the Acting Governor forwarded an emergency preamble to this bill to the Secretary of State which was docketed on October 4, 1976, thus making the effective date of the law October 4, 1976. The Selectmen had been informed by legislative service that the Act would not become effective until the passage of thirty-days (30) or September 3, 1976, then a second bulletin stating that the Act would not take effect until November 2, 1976. On October 8, 1976 Selectmen issued a notice and publication of the Warrant Articles. The effective date of the Act was then brought to the attention of the Selectmen, who on October 13, 1976, caused a bill (H5458) to be filed in the Legislature validating the procedures followed by the Town in the call of this Meeting. The Massachusetts Legislature prorogued at 12: 20 A.M., on October 15, 1976 before this bill was given its final readings. 103 Town Counsel was asked for an opinion on this question and ruled on October 18, 1976, at the Auditorium of Watertown High School, that the notice requirements of Chapter 272 of the Acts of 1976 were not compiled with and, therefore, any action taken at this meeting would be invalid. The Moderator then terminated the proceedings after an announcement was made that on October 18, 1976 the Selectmen voted to call a Special Town Meeting for November 22, 1976 at Watertown high School at 7: 30 P.M. with the closing date for Warrant articles set for October 26th, 1976 at 5 P.M. Meeting adjourned at 8: 14 P.M. A true record ATTEST James E.

During the period of this report, the position of Town Counsel has been held by Roy C. Papalia, January 1, 1975 through June 9, 1976. My appointment was effective June 9, 1976. The staff of the Town Counsel's office included a full time secretary, Mrs. Virginia Gearen succeeded by Miss Diane E. MacPhee on July 15, 1976, paid entirely from federal funds under the CETA program. Gary S. Brackett, Esquire, who has served as Assistant to the Town Counsel since January 6, 1975, has continued to serve in that capacity being re- munerated for his services from the extra legal services account on an hourly basis, CETA funds have expired. In this connection it may be noted that the 1976 Annual Town Meeting in dealing with the budget of the Legal Services Department voted a line item of $100.00 for the position of Assistant Town Counsel pending a Finance Committee study of the Legal Services Department, which study at this writing is continuing. Niy budget for the 1977 fiscal year contains a request for a permanent, full-time Assistant Town Counsel at a Salary of$15,000.00 per year, again, pending recommendations to be made by the Finance Committee study. The Town is quite fortunate in presently employing the services of Attorney Gary Brackett as assistant and I will recommend that the salary of the assistant be placed at a level commensurate with the responsibilities of this position and the proven abilities of the incumbent. I believe that the Town's legal department has capably discharged its responsibilities given the volume and complexities of municipal law existent today, as will be seen later in this report, within the present framework of this department (i.e. a part-time Town Counsel, full-time assistant and a full-time secretary). It must be noted here that this department has been operating annually with a budget in the vicinity of $25,000.00 which in comparison to other cities and towns of like posture, is extremely small and austere. Earlier this year we removed our office to larger quarters on the third floor of the Administration Building and I am pleased to report that, with this new situation, we are able to handle the day to day legal business of the Town in a more professional and pleasant atmosphere. At present we are adding to our law library in order that the Town have as complete a facility as any modern, well-equipped law office. I have tried to institute a new policy, and I think successfully, in our day to day dealings with town departments and the public generally. I have directed that all town departments seeking legal opinions or legal advice in con- formance with town by-law do so in writing in advance in order that proper research into legal questions may be made and opinions given unless, of course, an extreme emergency arises ; further, that conferences and 149 appointments be pre-arranged in order to avoid confusion within the office and waiting periods for those seeking advice with a view to professionalize the business of this office. In order to tighten our control in personal injury cases against the town due to alleged defective ways and sidewalks, I instituted procedures requiring photographs, police investigations and engineering reports for each claim filed. In the past we recognized that some of the necessary materials were not duly accessible and, therefore, handicapped our department in our court presentations. In addition, we recently completed an extensive review of all files resulting in the closing of numerous cases with origins dating back to 1966. All pending files have been updated and attention has been given to newer claims involving property damage resulting from motor vehicle accidents, some involving town vehicles. In 1976, our office recovered $7,894.66, involving 32 separate cases, for damage to town property or town vehicles due to the negligence of other parties. You may note here that the amount of recovery rose from $4,533.84 in 1975 to $7,894.66 in 1976, an increase of about 75 per cent. In an attempt to summarize the workings of the Town Counsel's office, I would like to note the major areas of concentration first, and then move on to a short summary of services to various departments and boards. The number of Town cases before the Appellate Tax Board fluctuates each year. As an example, during the week of January 10, 1977 this office will be involved in eleven such appeals. We will work with Mr. J. Malcolm Whitney in this presentation of the Town's case in each of these matters. Looking ahead, the revaluation of property in Watertown, under the Sudbury case guidelines, could very well result in a serious increase in this caseload, as has been shown by the situations in Worcester and Newton. Collective Bargaining and especially Police and Fire fact-finding and arbitration proceedings, have proved to be very important and timeconsuming aspects of the office's aid to the Selectmen and Personnel Board in this field. Each step in the process involves substantial research into comparitive salary levels, fringe benefit schedules and the numerous elements of municipal finance. The next step involves hearings before impartial fact-finders or arbitrators. Finally, written briefs must be prepared and filed. This office is presently involved in final offer arbitration proceedings with the Fire Department, while the Police Department has recently filed a petition for mediation and fact-finding. It may be noted that some cities and towns hire outside counsel in matters involving fact-finding and final arbitration with substantial fees involved. Our office can point to our representation of the Town in these proceedings within our present budgetary limitations at substantial savings to the Town. The role of the Town Counsel's office in representing the Workmen's Compensation agent in matters oefore the Industrial Accident Board continues. There were approximately twenty hearings/conferences during 150 1976 requiring attendance by a representative of this office. Preparation for these matters involves review of sometimes lengthy files, made up of numerous medical reports and injury records. Arrangements for up to date medical examinations are necessary in all cases. The office has continued to work closely with the Building and Health Inspectors on matters involving violations of the Zoning By-Law, State Building Code and State Sanitary Code. Such cooperation has required review of specific provisions of each law, aid in drafting letters, attendance and opinions at meetings, and follow-up procedures, such as court action, to assure compliance. Defective way cases, involving potential statutory liability of up to $5,000.00, have continued to make up an important part of the court work of the office. During 1976, we handled eighteen (18) such cases, of which eleven(11) are still active. The Town is strongly considering instituting suit in Federal District Court to halt the construction of a proposed postal facility on Dexter Avenue. Placement of this truck terminal in this location is generally felt to be less than desirable. We are presently involved in researching the statutory and case authority for such a suit as well as checking the requirements for an environmental impact study when a government facility of this type is planned. Important litigation handled bythis office recentlyhas included the following: 1.) Chase et al v. Planning Board-Superior Court suit challenging designation of Coolidge Avenue property as blighted under MHFA provisions - dismissed by Suffolk Superior Court. - Dismissal affirmed by Supreme Judicial Court. 2.) Martin Chemical v. Town - $4500.00 suit on contract price for non-conforming goods - settled on Town's offer. 3.) Mahony v. Board of Assessors - Superior Court suit regarding Woolworth building, assessment practices, municipal parking lot features, etc. - in suit, Middlesex Superior Court. 4.) William v. Town - District Court suit regarding distinction between sick leave and police injured leave under C.41, Sec. 111F in suit, Waltham District Court. 5.) Boyce et at v. Town, Ford et al v. Town - The (2) suits brought by ten(10) taxpayers based on inadequacy of School Department approp- riation voted at 1975 and 1976 Town Meeting 1976 case presently in suit, Middlesex Superior Court. At this writing the 1975 suit has been settled, after a number of court hearings, without penalty or costs to the Town. 151 The following outline will highlight the types of services, other than litigation, which the Town Counsel's office provides for departments of the Town: Assessors: 1.)

Edward G. Seferian 153 PURCHASING AGENT This is the report of the Purchasing Department for the calendar year 1976. During the year, a total of 13,210 orders were processed and issued. This included 8,810 orders for the School Department. There was a total of 526 sealed bids which included 4,726 major items as used by all departments. We are still purchasing rock salt and gasoline with seven other Cities and Zbwns as a collective purchase agreement. Permission for this has also been allowed by Statutes. Fuel oils have been decontrolled by the Federal Government. A bid was submitted to the town on November 19, 1976 on both types of fuel oil. Prices received showed a considerable savings to the Town, however, gasoline has still not been decontrolled, but rumors are heavy that this will soon happen and the prognossis is thatgasoline prices will rise approximately .05 cents per gallon. We will watch this very closely in the months to come. I wish to express my appreciation to the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the heads of all departments for their cooperation. William F. Oates Purchasing Agent 154 PERSONNEL BOARD The Personnel Board organized in July 1976 elected Lawrence W. Beloungie, Chairman, and Wade H. Jones, Secretary. Edmund J.

In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 728 Acts of 1961, "An Act to transfer to Retirement Board the Responsibility for Administra- tion of Certain Non-Contributory Pension Legislation," the Watertown Contributory Retirement Board have taken over the Non-Contributory Retirement Pensioners, which was formerly under the jurisdiction of the Board of Selectmen. The Retirement Board as now organized consists of Maurice J. Sheehan, Chairman, John J. Sheehan, Secretary of the Board, and Lawrence E. Maloney, Board Member. The Office of the Retirement Board is located in the Office of the Town Auditor, who is a member of the Board, and who is responsible for keeping the accounts of the Retirement System. During the period July 1, 1975 thru June 30, 1976, there were six employees who retired on the Non-Contributory Retirement System: Helen F. Kelly (Ann.) Margaret M. Loughlin (Ann.)

Manzelli, Chairman Watertown, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith nay report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Watertown for the period from January 1, 1973 to March 22, 1975, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Robert M. Crosby, Assistant Chief of Bureau. Very truly yours, Gordon A. McGill Director of Accounts Mr. Gordon A. McGill Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation Boston, Massachusetts Sir: As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Watertown for the period from January 1, 1973 to March 22, 1975, and submit the following report thereon: 179 The financial transactions as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for collection, were examined and verified. The town auditor's books and accounts were examined and checked. The ledger accounts were analyzed and proved, the recorded receipts being compared with the treasurer's books and the payments, as entered, being checked with the authorized warrants and with the treasurer's record of disbursements. The appropriations, loan authorizations, and transfers, as entered, were checked with the town clerk's records of financial votes passed at town meetings and with the finance committee authorizations of transfers from the reserve fund. The adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on March 22, 1975. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the auditor's books, with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town, and with other sources from which money is paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book was footed, and the cash balance on March 22, 1975 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, by examination of a savings bank book, and by actual count of the cash in the office. The Federal Revenue Sharing Funds were examined and checked. The funds received from the Federal government were listed, the income was proved, and the appropriations were checked with the town clerk's record of town meetings. The payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and with the town auditor's records. The cash balance on March 22, 1975 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit, and by verification of the certificates of deposit. As of the audit date March 22, 1975, the sum of$115,066.26 was due to general cash from the Special Cash-Federal Revenue Sharing account. The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and were checked with the cancelled securities on file. The coupons outstanding March 22, 1975 were listed and reconciled with a statement received from the depository. The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts transferred to the tax title account were checked with the collector's and the auditor's records, while the redemptions were compared with the amounts entered in the treasurer's books. The tax titles and tax possessions on hand March 22, 1975 were listed, proved, and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds. 180 The securities and savings bank books representing the investments of several trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the trustees were examined and listed. The income was proved, and all transactions and balances were verified and compared with the auditor's books, and, in the case of the retirement funds, with the books of the retirement board. The records of payroll deductions for Federal and State taxes, for group insurance premiums, and for the purchase of savings bonds were examined and proved with the auditor's controlling accounts. The records of parking meter collections were examined and checked with the amounts entered in the treasurer's cash book and with the auditor's ledger control. The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The taxes, excise, and assessments outstanding on January 1, 1973, as well as all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved with the warrants issued for their collection. The cash books were analyzed and the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer ; the abate- ments, as entered, were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted ; the transfers to the tax title account were proved with the treasur- er's records of tax titles held by the town ; and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective controlling accounts in the auditor's ledger. The records of deferred assessments were examined and checked. The payments in advance were proved with the receipts recorded by the treasurer, the amounts added to taxes were verified, and the apportionments due in future years were listed and proved with the auditor's ledger accounts. The records of departmental and water accounts receivable were examined and checked. The commitments were verified, the recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements, as entered, were compared with the departmental records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the auditor's ledger controls. Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct. The town clerk's records of financial votes passed at town meetings were examined and checked. The recorded collections from dog and sporting licenses issued, marriage intentions, recording fees, and miscellaneous charges were verified and compared with the payments to the town treasurer and the State. The cash on hand March 22, 1975 was proved by reconcilia- tion of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office. 181 The records of licenses and permits granted by the board of selectmen and the police, building, and health departments were examined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts. The records of departmental cash collections by the sealer of weights and measures, and the highway, school, library, and cemetery departments, as well as by all other departments in which money is collected for the town, were examined and checked. The payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand in the several departments, including petty cash advances, was verified by actual count. The surety bonds furnished by the several town officials, required by law to furnish such surety, were examined and found to be in proper form. Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's and the town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title,departmental and water accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions of the several trust, investment, and retirement funds. I wish to express appreciation, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, for the cooperation extended by the town officials during the progress of the audit. Respectfully submitted, Robert M.

Kennedy Collector of Taxes 196 REPORT OF TOWN TREASURER I hereby submit my report for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1975 and ending June 30, 1976. BORROWINGS (SHORT TERM) Short term borrowing for fiscal year 1976 was $3,500.00 New fiscal year continues to improve our cash position. The need to borrow in anticipation of revenue should decrease. BORROWINGS(LONG TERM) The Special Town Meeting of December, 1975 voted an appropriation of $2,080,000.00 for sewer construction. Of the above amount $208,000.00 was appropriated and the balance of $1,872,000.00 is to be borrowed. Since the article specifies that federal monies be authorized, borrowing will await said committment. Regular Town Meeting voted as follows: An appropriation of $1,904,000.00 to purchase 13.68 acres of Arsenal property for recreational purposes. This is again subject to matching funds ; therefore, borrowings will wait until said matching funds are committed. An appropriation of $141,725.00 for repair and reconstruction of streets ; said amount to be borrowed and then upon completion of the project, the Town will be reimbursed by the State. This office will shortly borrow $210,000.00 to pay the cost of revaluation as voted in 1975 Town meeting. Committee is ready to contract for the above service. The Town continues its fine rating of AA from Moody's. I am pleased to announce the above, since Moody's has reduced the rating of many communities including the State of Massachusetts. SPECIAL RECEIPTS Revenue Sharing $987,793.00 Lottery 233,595.00 Revenue Sharing ends on December 31, 1976. It is hoped that Congress continues this fine program. If they fail to renew Revenue Sharing, the tax rate will be increased by $9.00. 197 CHERRY SHEETS Although reimbursement for school costs under Chapter 766 has increased, you will note that Watertown continues to receive substantially less than our assessed share of State and County costs. State and County Charges 2,782,252.00 State Reimbursements 2,478,067.00 Net Cost to Watertown 304,185.00 INVESTMENTS I continue to invest monies not needed for immediate disbursements, in Certificate of Deposits. Interest rates have dropped substantially from 1975 highs. However, Interest earnings totaled $116,032.49, a tidy sum. Ibis has been made possible by the prompt payment of taxes by the Water- town Taxpayers and the cooperation of the Town Auditor, Collector of Taxes, Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee. PARKING METERS It now appears that parking lots will be reconstructed with Federal Money. Engineering studies and plans are being drawn up and hopefully this project will get underway next Spring. OFFICE REPORT The office staff has worked hard to keep up with the constant increase of work. Mrs. Sahatjian, Head Clerk and Assistant Treasurer, retired on June 1, 1976, after 21 years of dedicated service to the Town. I have promoted Mrs. Eva Jones, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, to assume the duties of Head Clerk and Assistant Treasurer. SPECIAL REPORTS The fact that the Tax Rate did not go up should not be too reassuring. This was possible because many of the increases in wages were not finalized in time to be included in this year's tax rate, and will be doubly impacted in next year's rate. There is a need for belt tightening by all departments.

The only change was to Abate sand granular formulation in place of the usual dilute Abate spray for larvicide. This was done to speed up the la rviciding and to get better penetration where dense vegetation grew in wet areas. There was abundant rainfall beginning after the middle of July and continuing the rest of the summer. This produced a lot of floodwater type mosquitos in other parts of the district, but apparently few in Watertown. There was only two mosquito complaints, both in August. There wasn't any need to use the truck ULV aerosol generators. Motorcycle operators doing the first basin spraying in June and the second in August reported lots of adult mosquitoes flying out of the catch basins in some places ; Mt. Auburn Cemetery was one of these. The other spray crews mentioned the frequency of mosquito breeding in foundations and containers in the Arsenal area. A search was made for presence of the aquatic plant mosquito Cq perturbans in the cat tail swamp off Arlington Street but none have been found so far.

Sullivan Scholarship Trust, Hibernians, K of C., Amvets and Watertown Fire Fighters Union. An afternoon bowling program for elementary school children was conducted again this year. 223 FIELD PERMITS During 1975 approximately 300 permits were issued to use Watertown facilities for baseball, softball, basketball, touch football and soccer, to name a few. In addition to the Recreation Department other groups using the facilities were: Adult Softball League ; Police and Fire Departments ; Pop Warner ; Booster's Club ; Babe Ruth League, Inc. ; Cunniff PTO Soft- ball League for elementary girls ; to name just a few. Organizations and businesses located in Watertown in order to reserve a facility must clear it with the Superintendent of Department of Public Works, however, all permits are issued through the Recreation Office. During the summer months supervision was provided atArlington, Coolidge, East, Underwood, Victory Field, Lowell, West, Bemis, Cunniff, Browne, Parker and Charles River Playgrounds from 9- 12 noon and 1- 4 p.m. The children made trips to Wal-lex and the major trip of the summer was to Lincoln Park. Swimming lessons were held at the MDC Dealtry Pool for youths up to 16 years of age, starting with lessons for beginners and following through with Sr. Life Saving lessons. Classes were conducted in the evening for adults. Our tennis program was geared for all ages and classes were conducted at Victory Field and West Junior tennis courts. Our Physical Education Program conducted evenings at the Victory Field outside area was very successful. Our evening basketball program attracted many boys and girls from 16 to 21. An eight week program for the mentally handicapped was conducted at the Browne School. Camp Pequossette was enjoyed by many of our Watertown children and brought in a revenue of $6,107.50. The department in the fall continued its programs in Baton; Basketball ; Softball ; Tennis ; Golf; Friday Night Gym ; Yoga ; Gym Program with the Watertown Youth Center ; Vacation Ice Skating ; Saturday afternoon gym programs ; programs for the mentally handicapped, 'Saturday Day Camp and Friday Night Socials' ; and K-9 Dog Clinic.

NEEDS The town has been working on its playgrounds to improve their usefulness to the citizens of Watertown. This program should be continued so that maximum use of playgrounds can be attained. The need of an indoor facility is becoming more and more urgent. 224 1) Total development of the Recreational Center which would include indoor and outdoor facilities would be a great addition to the town on the Watertown Arsenal. The outdoor facilities would include basketball and tennis courts, ballfields,picnic areas,amphitheater,playground apparatus, passive areas, and an indoor facility would contain basketball and tennis facilities, a track, baseball cage, locker space, an Arts & Crafts area, and a swimming pool. 2) Continued development of the year-round program. 3) Development of girls, adult and senior citizen programs beyond the present scope of activities. 4) Additional office and storage space for the department. 5) Arts & Crafts & Cultural programs expanded.

The center in its various components worked with over 2500 people during the year, developed educational programs for the community and schools and began planning for increased community involvement directly in its programming. The Center is presently operatingat full capacity,offering a variety of health, mental health, youth, and information and referral services. In addition, the Center has a responsibility to identify community needs and work for effective planning and use of community resources. To this end, programs have been developed with other town agencies and a community outreach effort was instituted early in the fall. Our administrative base in the Town has been established and the Center is now moving toward more involvement in the whole Metropolitan-Beaverbrook Community Mental Health Center in order to take fuller advantage of outside resources. Presently, the Center offers the following direct services: 228 COUNSELLING The Counselling Component of the Center focuses primarily on helping people individually, in families or in groups with problems they may be experiencing in their lives. Itbrings together the services of other agencies providing special help to adolescents, or people with alcohol and/or drug related problems, along with providing direct counselling services itself to families and individuals in the community. Unlike other agencies, the Multi-Service Center provides primarily a short term, family oriented counselling service. Marital problems, parent- child conflicts, personal growth concerns are all issues which can be discussed with a trained counselor over a period of 4- 6 months. When appropriate, other family members are also asked to come in so that everyone can most easily adapt to the changes that occur for the person originally seeking a counselling service. Ibis year our ties with the local schools were greatly strengthened by establishing a direct liasion with their Pupil Personnel services. Con- sultation around specific concerns and resource development has been provided to many schools, and a referral system has been worked out, especially in 766 cases, so that the Multi-Service Center can continue its role of advocate for parents and children and still provide a needed service to the schools. Groups working on the issues of decision-making, problem solving and peer socialization have also been developed in the schools for those children needing extra help in getting along in the school system. This year the Multi-Service Center developed a series of workshops on the use and abuse of drugs which has been run with Junior High and High School students and teachers ; an " Effectiveness Training" workshop was run for interested community residents and ongoing, weekly training for staff and students were all coordinated by the counselling component. FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION GROUPS Family Life Education is based on the ideas that nothing is as simple as it used to be and that raising a family is no exception. Today, parents and youth need more information, more skills and more training to deal with the increasingly difficult and frustrating job of growing up and raising a family. Parents call asking for help concerning themselves or their children ; youth ask practical questions about finding apartments after they get out of school ; new mothers want help understanding the stages of development their young children will go through ; and recently separated and single parents need support and a place to share their concerns. 229 Family Life Education programs attempt to prevent potential difficulties before they become actual problems. Such programs focus on the normal and everyday conflicts which every family and each of its members ex- periences, by working on a number of clear objectives: more effective communication among family members ; developing better parenting skills ; how to cope with a first pregnancy ; learning about young children or sharing lonely experiences. Ibis program has been especially exiciting since the Center has been able to identify, train and pay community people to lead these groups through a grant from the Office for Children. y! i V, ` 230 INFORMATION & REFERRAL The Information and Referral component, under the direction of Lois London, has grown and solidified this year. Over 889 individual people received specific resource help so that they could get connected with needed services not directly provided by the Multi-Service Center. Many of these calls concern other agencies-how to identify and help an agency respond to a person's indivudualized needs ; survival resources- how to cope with no heat in the winter, howtoget food stamps while a welfare application is going through the bureaucracy, what are a person's rights as a tenant; medical needs-how to identify and evaluate nursing homes, find inexpensive dental resources, locate a specialized medical resource. Along with the Library and other agencies Lois has also developed specialized " handbooks" on issues identified by many people as especially relevant- child care, elderly resources, youth services and dental services. Some of the specific categories of information Lois's resource work covers are: Consumer rights Runaways Emergency services Social security Environmental resources Volunteer positions Health services Women's issues Hotlines Housing Also with the Library, the Multi-Service Center, through Lois, originated, planned and presented a series entitled " Women in Watertown" which covered a wide variety of topics relevant to women today: child care, going back to work, changing roles, to name a few. Out of this came the identification of women as a special interest group and the initial planning of programs related to them. Along with Jeff Arbetter of the Counselling staff, Lois, in addition, worked with the Library over a 4 week period on helping them identify existing, community resources, and develop a referral procedure for the many information calls they receive. Out of this training and with some specific consultation, the Library developed the recent WIL line which provides accessible information at different Centers in Town. The Lawyer Referral Service, initially developed because many users of our other services inquired as to their legal rights in a variety of circumstances, had its first successful evaluation this past February. During a seven month period, 35 calls were referred to the Lawyer Referral Service with all but one client, whose complaint has been responded to finding the service and lawyers most helpful and responsive in terms of fees and appointment times. The lawyers themselves were also satisfied with the referral procedure and indicated that more publicity and outreach was needed. 231 Multi-Service Center �RIPs ��,� To Open Youth Room To'gyp � The Watertown Multi- provide a pplacesfor-them to Service Center is undergoing come and discuss'the different V 1 WPL O> the process of furnishing-its '531`93 they feel are im rtaat youth room- for.the :Youth with other ld 1 G� Program.'.Thee primary-ob- 1 It of the youth room is for.

Basketball In Framinaham Prison 232 YOUTH PROGRAM The Multi-Service Center Youth Program has been involved with more than 180 Watertown adolescents over the past year. These generally, are young people who have been identified by community agencies, as "problem" or " troubled" youth or youth who are not involved with the other major youth agencies in town. The Youth Program works with these teenagers in their own self-defined small peer groups, helping them learn and practice self-help, advocacy, problem-solving and decision-making skills through a wide variety of tasks, programs and activities. We are concerned with youth participating in a process of learning and practicing the skills they will need to become mature and responsible adults, rather than in just providing activities for kids. As a result, most of the activities are planned by the youth and involve peer groups in a decision-making process of making choices and handling the responsibility and consequences, of those choices. Over the past year, program members have gone on overnight camping trips, helped to interview and hire b1SC staff members, purchased program equipment, exchanged programs with other Youth Centers, learned how to "Explore Boston", been elected as representatives to the local Council for Children, lobbied for youth programs at the State House, planned and run joint dances with the Boys Club, sat on the MSC Board of Directors, planned an auto mechanics workshop and participated in numerous other activities. In all of these, our goals are to help youth. STUDENT PROJECTS The students this year, 7 in number, work in a variety of ways here at the Center. Primarily, they concentrate on areas of need which have come to the attention of the MSC through client requests, survey of needs assess- ments in the community. Two students this year are developing a Friend to Friend program, designed to provide adult friendship to those children 6- 12 years old, identified as needing a stable relationship with an adult of the same sex. The program provides volunteers adults who can spend 2- 3 hours a week with a child in activities or just talking. Much of the success in the start up of this program has been the development of a community advisory board made up of representatives from various sections of the community, schools, parents and professional organizations. We hope to see this program expanded next year so that more children can be included. 233 Students have also been working on bringing services to the elderly ; helping in the youth program and co-leading a variety of groups, both in and out of school, which help youth work out issues and problems of concern to them. MEDICAL SERVICES Located in the MSC building and the Hosmer School are 3 medical clinics operated by the Watertown Board of Health, with back-up and cooperation from the MSC and Mt. Auburn Hospital. These clinics are especially designed to provide low cost medical services in a comprehensive setting. As a result, not only are doctors present at the clinics, but their presence in the MSC building allows counselor and resource and referral services to be readily available to those clients in need of them. Presently, plans are under way for St. Elizabeth's Hospital to assume responsibility for the clinics so that services may be expanded at little or no extra cost to the Town. The Watertown Health Center, as it will be called, would move to a more central location and be open initially for at least one session per day. A Community Advisory Board has been formed to assist St. Elizabeth's and the Town in making this transition. The MSC as a whole has tried this year to do as much public relations work as possible. Being only in its fourth year, many Watertown residents still do not know of the bISC's existence or services. Contacts were made this year with numerous civic organizations in Town and the MSC staff and board participated as speakers to many interested groups in Town. We have also kept in regular contact with Town Meeting members through quarterly reports and have expanded our data collection so that the Town can clearly and easily know what we do and how we do it. During the past year many community people and professional agencies have supported our efforts and encouraged our work. The Board of Directors of the MSC and those people involved with the Youth Programs have been especially valuable. We appreciate their support and know that the interest of the Watertown community in an endeavor of this kind is unique to this area. The staff and myself also appreciate the opportunity provided us to be involved with an organization specifically designed to help people have more fulfilling and satisfying life experiences. 234 WATERTOWN MUNICIPAL SKATING ARENA Once again it is with a great deal of pride and satisfaction that I submit this Chairman's Annual Report. The utilization of the facility remains very good during the skating season, October 1 st through April 15th. We are experien- cing some difficulty in renting the after midnight hours. Our manager, Mr. John Lund, has made a concentrated effort to rent both these late hours and early morning hours to local industrial groups. I am pleased to report to you that our plant is in excellent condition as our staff works diligently during our close-down period to paint, repair and improve the building. This past season we have improved our monthly financial statement by further breaking down income and expense items. This monthly statement shows the comparison from the like period of a year ago which has proven to be a valuable asset in evaluating each program. We have further refined our record keeping at the snack bar with a new daily report form. While we have many goals we would like to achieve, our most immediate task will be to improve attendance particularly at the high school hockey games as well as obtaining some type of summer business i.e. flea markets, trade shows, etc. The first six months have definitely shown improvement in our total operation and we look forward to a most successful season. Robert J. Whitney Chairman 235 VETERANS' SERVICES During the year, our case load fluctuated with increases periodically, then tapering off when work could be located for the employable veteran or his dependent in private industry or through the Federal COMPREHENSIVE EMPLOYMENT TRAINING ACT. The paper work involved in completing the various forms for State and Federal benefits has increased incredibly along with the usual annual filing of Abatement forms for the veteran or his Training and experience are prerequisites in properly completing the State and Federal forms to prevent loss of entitled benefits, otherwise the department would have to assist until these benefits are resumed which could prove to be costly to the Town. The department will continue to operate in the same efficient manner that tt has in the past, impartially and with integrity at all times. I wish to extend my thanks to your Honorable Board and all those who cooperated with the department throughout the year. Dorothy R. Najarian Agent 236 WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION DEPARTMENT Herewith is respectfully submitted the reportof the Workmens' Compensation Agent for the fiscal year 1976- 1977. The majority of the cases reported in 1976-1977 required just medical expenses but there were several cases involving serious injuries. Some with large medical and hospital bills along with lengthy disability. At the end of December 1976 we were carrying nineteen cases, many we have had for several years since they are retired employees as a result of injury. We have several cases pending before the Industrial Accident Board. The most courteous and usual cooperation has been received from the Town Departments and employees. John P.

Carey, East Branch Walter F. MacDonald, Main Library Paul Mannix, North Branch William J. Mannix, Head Custodian Trustees of the Watertown Free Public Library CHAIRMAN'S REPORT 1976 The Bicentennial year was a successful one for the Watertown Free Public Library which saw an increase in the number of users and in the number of library materials borrowed in 1976. The Massachusetts Bicentennial Commission granted the Watertown Free Public Library a sum(matched by the Town) to be spent in cooperation with the Watertown Bicentennial Celebration Committee on various appropriate projects to enhance the Town's and the Library's efforts in this direction. The Watertown Historical Society generously supported a program for recording on audio-tapes for posterity the recollections and views of several notable and colorful Watertown citizens. Mr. Charles T. Burke, long-time member and officer of the Watertown Historical Society and former Chairman of the Trustees of the Library had valuable historical maps in the possession of the Library restored to their original state, or as near as possible, as his particular Bicentennial offering. The Special Gifts Committee received besides gifts of money for special purposes, a tulip tree from the Arnold Arboretum which was donated by a Watertown Girl Scout Troop under the leadership of Mrs. Dorothy Bowser. Helen P. Samson, who had served the Library and the Town both long and well, and frank McGowan, former head of the Watertown Art Association, who also contributed much to the library, both chose not to run again as Trustees. The Trustees of the Watertown Free Public Library was joined in May of 1976 by Mary Carver and Cherylan Malloy who have added fresh perspectives. Nineteen seventy-six also saw the Board of Selectmen acting as Bargaining Agents for the Town, and the Trustees of the Watertown Free Public Library sign the first two-year contract with the staff union. It has been an Honor to have served for five years as Chairman of the Trustees of the lfiatertown Free Public Library, especially so during the Bicentennial year. 241 It was gratifying to see the Trustees represented at the Bicentennial Ball, the Fourth of July Parade, and matey of the other events which were so well attended during the past year as a symbol of the active and continuing role which our public library plays in the recreation, the education and the lives of the citizens of our Town. Helen Guest Perry WATERTOWN FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY Director's Report 1975- 1976 The statistics accompanying this report, for the purpose of comparison, are for the fiscal year 1976 (July 1, 1975-June 30, 1976). This report will cover the calendar year 1976, since the previous report covered the period ending December 31, 1975. The Bicentennial year in Watertown was an eventful one, and the Library played an important role in the celebration of our nation's birthday. In January the Library received an appropriation from the Town to match a grant of $11,900 from the Massachusetts Bicentennial Commission for a townwide celebration in cooperation with the Watertown Bicentennial Celebration Committee. Since the grant was not received until well into the year 1976, the original plans for a two-year celebration had to be telescoped but in retrospect it seems that a great deal was accomplished to make our townspeople aware of our Town's historic past, and of the contribution of all the ethnic groups that make up its population. The library's Community Services Librarian, Karen Day, was responsible for coordinating the work of our three CETA employees John Cook, Lynn Sternbergh and Jeremy Cole in designing and carrying out the projects involved in the celebration of the Bicentennial. Working with the Water- town Bicentennial Celebration Committee, they did the publicity for the July Fourth Celebration, produced a brochure describing Walking Tours of Historic Watertown, and completed a two-part slide show, "A Family Guide to Historic Watertown." This show was taken by our staff to several schools and organizations and is currently available for viewing at the Main Library. " Watertown's Women Artists" was a successful exhibit in celebration of the Bicentennial, and the brochure, Watertown's Victorian Legacy, was written and produced as a lasting momento of the show. The group did publicity and photographs for the Bicentennial Celebration Committee for the Knox Trail reenactment, Memorial Day, the Balls, and the Bicentennial Fashion Show. Jeremy Cole and Lynn Sternbergh assisted Joseph Curran of the Reference Department on the production of a slide show describing the life and work of I-larrietHomer. John Cook and Charles Burke, one of the library's trustees, wrote several articles on Watertown history for the local newspapers. Jeremy Cole and John Cook did a series of videotape interviews of local citizens for an oral history project about changing Watertown Square. John Cook left in the spring to join the staff 242 of the Minute Man National Historic Park, but among other projects he initiated the Community Calendar in the newspapers and this weekly listing of events is being continued by Jane Eastman of the Reference Department. Jeremy Cole built a portable " Mini-theatre" which will he used to show slide-tape programs inthe library and in banks and shopping centers. He took photographs of the Watertown Square Area which Lynn Sternbergh arranged into an exhibit using, as contrast, old photographs from the library's archives to show " Changing Watertown Square." A series of slide shows on Watertown's early history was prepared by Jeremy Cole and Lynn Sternbergh with funds provided by the Watertown Historical Society. The time which these people were able to devote to the production of a high quality of library news releases, publications, and exhibits, together with the on-going programs of the library, brought honor to the library in the form of the John Cotton Dana Library Public Relations Award. The Director was able to be present in Chicago at the annual meeting of the American Library Association to receive it in person. We are grateful to the Massachusetts Bicentennial Commission, the Watertown Historical Society, the Watertown Bicentennial Celebration Committee, and the CETA program for helping to make our contribution to the towm's Bicentennial Celebration possible. Much of the material amassed, documents restored, and exhibits planned have yet to be seen by the public, but they will present an enduring record of our Town's historic past. The Reference Department cooperated in furnishing many of the facts and background materials for the exhibits and publications which were the focus of the Library's Bicentennial celebration. As a feature of the fourth quarter of the Bicentennial period, which focused on Watertown Today, the Reference Department's Watertown Information Line was publicized with a lively illustrated brochure detailing the library's Information and Re- ferral Service. A copy of this brochure was mailed to each head of house- hold in the Town. Response was impressive, the number of calls to WIL tripled and continues to rise. The Women's Programs, sponsered by the Adult Services Department, arose out of a need which had been demonstrated through a previous series in which the women of the town had requested workshops and information in such areas as going back to work, child care, and legal rights. Helene Tuchman of the Reference Department and Lois London of the Multi- Service Center were joint editors of a resource handbook, " Going back to Work." The Child Care Resource Handbook went into its fourth edition, and copies are still available through the generosity of the Sons of Italy. In response to the needs of senior citizens, the Reference Department has begun to collect and organize information on health care services available to the elderly in Watertown ; a number of civic groups and town agencies have envinced an interest in this valuable resource guide, and we hope to have the information in print in handbook form for every senior citizen in the Town early in 1977. 243 Under the inspiring leadership of Mary McNally, the Adult Service Depart- ment supplied the answers to roughly 4845 reference questions, selected library materials to add to the library's collections, and supplied research materials to those gathering information on Watertown's early history. The timely transfer of a number of historic documents from the vault at the Town Hall brought to light some fascinating discoveries which shed light on the pre-Revolutionary period in Watertown's history. The Young Adult Department under the leadership of Stella Frimmel continues to respond to the needs of its clientele with lively and imaginative programs and materials. Metric education received new impetus when the on-going cooperative project with the schools was funded by a new federal grant of $17,200. This will enable the library to give other institutions the benefit of the experience we have gained through the two years of our metric project. The library cooperates with Jane Manzelli, the metric coordinator for school and library activities by continuing as a metric resource center for teachers in the region. The Young Adult Department has worked with the Northeast Metric Resource Center at Amherst in sending a questionnaire to local industry to ascertain their interest in metric work- shops. The popular film program for which the Department is justly famous continued: " Fun Flicks" on the library lawn during the summer attracted more than 500 people, as did the Spring Film Festival, which featured Italian and French films. In addition, we were able to make Mr. Hulot's Holiday, a popular French film, available for viewing by the public and private schools and the adult evening class in French. Special needs of young adults have elicited a response in the form of program planning by the Young Adult Department. In cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Project Venus, the library presented two special programs on venereal disease. A program on al- coholism, in cooperation with the schools' health education staff, is in the planning stage. The improvement of reading skills is of concern to teachers and librarians alike. A survey of reading habits of young people was prepared by Janet Jennings and Carol Cassedy and distributed to high school and 9th grade students. As a result of this survey, a meeting was held with teachers of English and Mr. Watts, head of Language Arts in the Watertown schools, and the Young Adult Department was requested to compile bimonthly a reading list of new books for young adults. This list is distributed to the teachers by Mr. Watts. Bicentennial materials, used as a resource by individuals, schools, and scout groups, were purchased to fill the need for information on the songs and music of the Colonial and Revolutionary periods,and on the architecture, crafts, hobbies, drama, furniture, military uniforms, weapons, costume,and the heroes and heroines of the Revolutionary period. In cooperation with the Reference Department, a bibliography was prepared of information sources on colonial life and crafts. 244 Photography is increasingly popular among young people, and the East Branch Photography Lab served as a classroom where twenty students in two classes were taught by Mrs. Jennings how to develop and print pictures, and how to use a camera effectively. The dark room was used regularly by fifteeen adults and by twenty students from the Home Base School under Mrs. Jennings' supervision. All " rock" records in the system are cir- culated by the Young Adult Department, as is science fiction, and many adults make use of these collections. The cordless headphones in the ':Main Library Young Adult Room have been so popular that they are in need of replacement. Music in the library has been given greater emphasis by the installation of a listening system in the Main Library Browsing Room. Gayna Akillian, our part-time music librarian, worked with Jeremy Cole, CETA audio- visual specialist, to construct a record cabinet and headphones which can be borrowed and used in the library by patrons. Our friend Mr. William Platt generously gave of his time to help finish the housing for the record player. Miss Akillian has discarded and replaced many old and worn records and has worked with the staff of the Adult Services Department both in the Main Library and the branches to improve the quality of the record collections. The Children's Department had another busy and eventful year. The Yankee Doodle Summer Reading Club attracted more than 600 youngsters who read more than 8,815 books, attended costume workshops at the Main Library and branches, and attended the grand finale at Victory Field with a parade, 500 strong, in full colonial costume. The entertainment at the party was generously provided by the Friends of the Library. As a special Bicentennial observance, the Children's Department featured a series, " Proud to be Me", focussing on the contributions of all the town's ethnic groups. Each Monday evening story program attracted fifty to 100 persons, both adults and children, and included a program using sign language for the deaf. The East Branch held weekly story hours for thirty pre-schoolers during the summer and in addition to their regular weekly story-hour pro- gram through the winter months, they held two additional story hours for thirty Head Start children. Parents bringing their children to the story hours at the Main Library participated in workshops featuring guest speakers and materials designed to help parents. A spring workshop group produced a handbook, distributed by the library, entitled " Twenty Free (or In- expensive) Places to Take Children." Children's films were shown weekly at each library ; the Main Library also provided non-verbal film for deaf children once a month, and the North Branch held special film programs on safety and ecology. A new feature suggested by parents, the Parent- Toddler Drop-In Hours, drew approximately sixty persons a week to the several children's rooms. Ten Stamp Club members met twice a month at the Main Library during the fall. Thirty-five junior puppeteers met weekly at the Main Library and at the East Branch, and produced four puppet shows which played to capacity audiences. 245 The staff of the Children's Department made visits to every elementary classroom in Watertown at least once. Forty-five classes made trips to the library for tours, booktalks, and library orientation. At the East Branch Judith Henshaw and Nlaureen Hegarty, children's librarians, pre- pared their own slide show describing the facilities of the library, and North Branch librarians Madeliene Marino and Maureen Sullivan disguised themselves as Yankee Doodle's Horse and made hilarious visits to the schools to advertise summer programs. In addition, the East Branch librarians held a special workshop for teachers from St. James Armenian School. Special programs sponsored by the Children's Department included photo- graphy workshops at the Main and East Branch Libraries ; this activity was made possible by the purchase of inexpensive cameras from the Capers Fund and workshops for the librarians taught by Jeremy Cole, CETA A-V specialist. Seventy-five children recorded the summer reading club's activities on film and provided materials for a photographic exhibition at the Main Library. In cooperation with the Middlesex County 4-11 Associa- tion, the library held a three-week " Baby-sitters' Workshop:" fifty pre- teenagers received official certificates and participated in graduation ceremonies attended by over 100 persons. To describe all the programs of the Children's Department would take several more pages ; they included a talent show, an ecology club involving 100 participants, calligraphy classes, pet care programs provided by the Humane Education Society ; a nutrition program presented by the County Extension Service featuring no-bake Christmas goodies ; Christmas craft programs, Halloween pumpkin carving and a party for 75 local goblins, and a summer picnic that drew 100 hungry revelers to the North Branch. All these projects were carried out under the able direction of Linda Wright, Supervisor of Children's Services, assisted by Susanne Sullivan and the children's staffs of the branch libraries. The West Branch, housed in the Browne School, participated in all activities and furnished needed library service to the children of the West End. The Branch Libraries play a vital part in the rendering of library service to their neighborhoods. The North Branch continued its program of presenting bi-monthly story hours for blind retarded adults from the Protestant Guild for the Blind. The staff and patrons of the branch have compiled a looseleaf cookbook with contributions from many patrons. A special Bicentennial display of ceramic figures was loaned by a member of the community, songfests were held by a husband-and-wife team featuring blue-grass music, and at Christmas time a miniature two-story doll's house for Santa's Workshop was constructed ; this has become a permanent fixture and is changed periodically with storybook character scenes. In the autumn, the building was completely relandscaped by the Public Works Department. For her generous contribution of time and aesthetic judgment in the design of the plantings, we thank landscape architect Patricia Loheed, Alice Madden, North Branch Librarian, will retire in 1977. She has done a fine job and will long be remembered for her warm and friendly relationships with the staff and the community. 246 Bicentennial activities at the East Branch included the laying of the wreath at the Knox Trail marker in front of the library, and an exhibit on Woman's Suffrage. The Branch Librarian, Mary Varney, compiled a bibliography of books and related materials about Armenia and the Armenians. Exhibits of art works from the High School and one sponsored by the Watertown- Belmont Advocacy Project for the Retarded provided valuable information and resource materials. The work of the Technical Services Department under the Supervision of Lucy Bidwell supported the services of all departments and branches. The statistics appended show the number of books processed, and this includes every move from the ordering of each book, record, or item of other library material up to its placement on the shelf. The ordering of catalog cards from the Boston Public Library's Consortium proved economical and efficient, and provided the beginnings of a database of the recent acquisitions of the area's participating libraries. The work of the document conservation project, sparked by a federal grant under the Library Services and Construction Act, moved forward under the leadership of Forrest Mack. A number of the old books, maps, and documents in the library's collections were restored by the New England Document Conservation Center ; in addition, the library initiated its own document conservation program, and, with the able help of our CETA worker, Peggy Marra, has made excellent progress in the deacidification and strengthening of pamphlets and old newspapers important in Watertown history, as well as the restoration of the leather bindings of a number of old and valuable books. The roof of the third stack was insulated and gaps between the second and third stacks were filled in with sheetrock, cutting down on the amount of dust that contributed to the deterioration of materials. An area in the third stack was cleared of old periodicals, a floor was laid, and new lighting was installed making a workroom for Airs. Day and the CETA staff working with her on the Bicentennial project. Better housekeeping aided also the preservation of materials. During the year, 401 leather bindings and 41 cloth bindings were repaired, many books and pamphlets were mended, and 713 sheets(pictures or leaves of books) were deacidified, adding to their life expectancy. The number of items lost or strayed from the library's collections has caused great concern ; during a random sampling of the collection, 26.9 0 of the books were found to be missing, that is, not on shelf and not in circulation. Almost daily the staff finds expensive items missing from the Reference collection, and with some books costing as much as $75 or $100 and with volumes of encyclopedias almost impossible to replace, it seems necessary to face the fact that book theft will not end because we ask people nicely not to steal our books. Libraries are increasingly encountering the problem not only of theft but of people who borrow books and simply WI to. return them. Our system, based on trust, seems doomed to failure. Plans-for the future include the installation of a computerized circulation control system ; toward this end we have recently filed a request for federal funds in cooperation with the Cambridge Public Library. We are also considering the feasibility of installing a theft detection system, as many local public and academic libraries are finding necessary. 247 The staff of the library system continues in the tradition of rendering the best possible service. Several of our pre-professional staff have continued to take courses in library science at Simmons College. During the year end staff participated in a job-exchange program in which each staff member spent one day each quarter working in another department or branch library, thus gaining valuable insight into the problems encountered and services rendered by their colleagues. The only job no one has yet requested to do for a day is the Director's. Plans for the future include the continued effort to cooperate with other town agencies to improve library service. The library has participated the schools in obtaining grant monies for such projects as metric education, and we have met with Inabeth Miller, Director of School Media Services, to help plan for improved library service to students at the High School with special attention to areas where we can share resources. A beginning in this effort has been the sharing of films and the exchange of lists of periodical holdings. In 1976 we received an LSCA grant for large-print materials for those with visual impairment, and in 1977 we will receive a Visual Resources Grant also under the LSCA which will aid patrons through the purchase of enlargers and other special equipment ; these grants would not have been possible without the cooperation of Perkins School and the Protestant Guild for the Blind. With the Mount Auburn Hospital, we are planning an inter-library network for community health information. Our immediate concern is to improve service to the senior citizens of our town, who constitute one-third to one-half of the population. In 1977 we hope to arrange for deposit collections in nursing homes and housing for the elderly, and to develop new programs to serve the needs of senior citizens. At the conclusion of our Bicentennial Year, we welcome the opportunity to thank the many people who have given unstintingly of their time and talents ; the members of the Friends of the Library, the Historical Society, the Bicentennial Celebration Committee, the Sons of Italy, the Knights of Columbus, the Union Market Bank ; the Town Clerk, the Town Auditor, the Purchasing Agent, the Election Commissioner, the Superintendent of Public Works, the Fire and Police Departments, the Personnel Department, the Council on Aging, and many other agencies and individuals, who have helped us in our work. Our special thanks go to Kay McCormick, our RSVP volunteer, who spends many hours writing overdue notices. We are indebted to the Trustees of the Library for their continued support and en- couragement as our library and our town embark on our nation's third century. Sigrid R.

Any irregularities observed during these inspections or otherwise brought to our attention, were thoroughly investigated and corrective action taken. In most instances this was accomplished by reprimand or warning and such irregularities and the corrective action taken were noted in department records. As a result of complaints made by this department during the past year, the Board of Selectmen suspended the licenses of eleven ( 11) licensees for various periods of time and issued strong warning to four(4) other such licensees. In addition, this department found it necessary during the past year to revoke the following licenses or permits: Firearms Identification Cards 2 Hackney Driver's License 1 Firearms-Permits to Carry 5 263 GAMBLING AND VICE All persons known to have been concerned in gaming activities in the past, and all establishments likely to foster or encourage such activities, were kept under constant surveillance. All " tips" anonymous or otherwise, were thoroughly investigated. Although some of these tips prove to be unfounded, or it is impossible to gather sufficient evidence to present to the courts, we welcome all such assistance in our constant effort to keep the Town free of the gambling element. During the year ending 30 June 1976, the following gambling cases were prosecuted: Being concerned with Registering Bets on the Speed of a Horse 2 Being concerned with Registering Bets on the Endurance of a Man 1 Being concerned with Setting Up and Promoting a Lottery 1 Conspiracy to Register Bets on the Skill of a Man 2 Conspiracy to Register Bets on the Speed of a Horse 2 Conspiracy to Set Up and Promote a Lottery 2 Conspiracy to Use Telephone for Registering Bets 2 Keeping a Room for Registering Bets on a Man 1 Registering Bets on the Result of a Game 1 Registering Bets on the Speed of A Horse 2 Registering Bets on the Skill of a Man 1 Setting Up and Promoting a Lottery 2 Using Telephone for Registering Bets 2 21 NARCOTICS Officers assigned to the License Bureau, Detective Division and Juvenile Bureau, as well as many Officers of the Uniformed Division, did outstanding work in the investigation and prosecution of offenses involving Narcotics and Harmful Drugs. A total of 85 separate incidents were investigated, as a result of which the following charges were prosecuted in the Waltham District Court: Conspiracy to Violate the Controlled Substance Law 5 Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance 41 Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance w/intent to Distribute 21 Unlawful Possession of a Hypodermic Needle 2 Unlawful Possession of a Hypodermic Syringe 1 Unlawful Possession of Narcotic Drugs 1 Uttering a Forged Prescription 1 72 264 In the area of Narcotics and Harmful Drugs too, we welcome assistance given us by citizens in the way of" tips" or confidential information. All such information is thoroughly investigated and the identity of the person furnishing such help is held in strict confidence. Once again, in the year ending 30 June 1976, we enjoyed splendid cooperation from the personnel of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and the State Police Narcotics Bureau, both on investigations and exchange of information.

There are twenty-two registered Emergency Medical Technicians on the fire department. Besides training in the fire stations, these men attend lectures and conferences at the various hospitals. At present they are completing a refresher course and also are giving a first responder course to the rest of the men in the department. Due to the heavy training schedule which is carried out by each shift in the daytime, it is necessary that this course is given to department members between the hours of 6: 00 P.M. and 9: 00 P.M.

FIRE PREVENTION This has been an unusually busy year with the accent on Fire Prevention which is the basis of life safety and the protection of property. 278 INSPECTIONS The Town has been divided into four divisions with each one under the Supervision of a Deputy Chief. They are constantly conducting an in- service inspection program, correcting hazards, making recommendations, as to fire safety or bringing hazards pertaining to the proper departments of our municipality. Inspections and Fire Drills are held in all Public, Private and special schools on a monthly schedule. These inspections and drills are mandatory under the Laws of the Commonwealth and Department of Public Safety. All fires are investigated to determine the cause and if violations of law are detected, suspicious origin or undetermined causes, the State Fire Marshall is immediately notified and a thorough and complete chemical analysis is made of all evidence, and proper procedures are initiated and presented to the court for adjudication. LICENSES AND PERMITS All oil installations and alterations are inspected for violations of local laws and ordinances before being approved.

IN MEMORIAM 1976 IT IS WITH DEEP REGRET THAT WE ANNOUNCE THAT: Captain Samuel B. Nixon passed away on November 7, 1976. He was appointed to the department on April 16, 1951 and served over 25 years and was 54 years old. He also was an Emergency Medical Technician. Firefighter Joseph T. Beirne passed away on October 13, 1976. He was appointed to the department on February 12, 1959 and served over 17 years and was 50 years old. Firefighter George McCleave passed away on January 23, 1976. He was appointed to the department on January 29, 1969 and served seven years and was 34 years old. He was an Emergency Medical Technician. The following retired members passed away during the year of 1976: Captain Raymond Murphy who retired on July 19, 1960 with forty years of service. Firefighter Peter McNicholas who retired on May 19, 1948 with over thirty-two years of service. Firefighter Eugene Merullo who retired on July 1, 1954 with twelve years of service. CONCLUSION The Watertown Fire Department: The Watertown Fire Department is made up of four basic divisions. They are Fire Prevention, Firefighting, Emergency Medical and Fire Alarm. 283 Each division compliments the others: the Firefighting division aids the Fire Prevention Bureau by in-service inspections, protecting and preserving evidence of arson, etc. The Fire Prevention Bureau is respon- sible for enforcement of the Fire Prevention Code and imparts vital information, such as extra hazardous occupancies, etc., to the fire fighting division. The Rescue Squad is the newest division of the Department. It is manned by Firefighter, Emergency Medical Technicians, who are responsible for the emergency care and transportation of those in need as well as their regular firefighting duties. And, of course, Fire Alarm is vital because no department could function effectively without adequate communication. I have received literally hundreds of unsolicited letters, from the citizens of Watertown, commending the department on their proficiency. These letters and calls are a source of personal pride and satisfaction to me. They are a testimony, not only to the efficiency of the Department, but shows that the Department has another very important quality, and that is compassion. Compassion shown by the members of the Fire Department to their fellow men proves to me that the Watertown Fire Department really does care. Robert C. O'Reilly Chief of Fire Department 284 CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY The Civil Defense System is set up primarily as a means of protecting and saving lives in time of natural or man-made disaster. Thus, the past year (1976) has been spent in furthering and expanding the overall program of Civil Defense in Watertown. The Community Fallout Shelter Plan is the foundation of local emergency readiness and in recognition, this Agency has 32,633 spaces that have been surveyed and approved as shelter areas, of which 25,633 spaces have been licensed, marked and allotted radiological supplies. We presently have 34 publicly licensed shelters located throughout the Town and, in addition, under the Home Fallout Protection Survey conducted by the Bureau of Census, the latter dwellings have available space for 26,368 residents. The Auxiliary Fire Department, currently numbering 36, is maintaining its conditions of readiness, having its own fire station at the former Watertown Arsenal which is operated four nights a week. It has a Rescue Truck, Fire Engine, Station Wagon Ambulette and a Jeep adapted by the men for use as a Lighting Unit. These volunteers answered 52 fire or rescue responses, plus assisting at 7 multiple alarm fires, 6lighting assignments, pumped out 11 cellars, 4 pools, dug out hydrants and assisted in emergency traffic control during snow and ice storms and hurricanes. They contributed a total of 9220 man-hours, 5 parades and 9 parades and musters were participated in and 3 men attended the National Muster Meet in New York. 6 men received training in EMT and 3 men in CPR. 4 new members were appointed. In addition, the Auxiliary Fire Department participated in numerous civic projects, some of which include: Hosting the Knox Trail group ; the Annual bike-a-thon ; sponsoring the Bicentennial Parade and Muster ; Bicentennial Band Competition in Medford ; Sons of Italy 3-day Festa ; Fourth of July 3-day celebration ; bringing Santa to the Watertown Mall ; lighting for midnight removal of tree on Mt. Auburn St. ; provided stretchers for Camp Pequosette. The Auxiliary Police, comprising 32 officers and men, have been extremely active, having trained men readily available for holiday and weekend traffic, parades, field events and special duties of varied types. These men are continually being trained in police procedures, traffic control, rescue, first aid, riot control, radiological monitoring, etc. They are used to augment the regular police force during emergencies and are supplied by Civil Defense with proper police equipment, uniforms, two cruisers, plus two transceivers. This department has contributed over 4100 man-hours this calendar year. Radio drills are held monthly with State and Federal authorities, originating from our Emergency Operations Center, by the Communications Division, Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES). Plans for a Town- wide Emergency Communications System are being formulated. The EOC has been relocated to the Arsenal Fire Station. 285 The Director attended two 3-day Seminars on Emergency Preparedness and bi-monthly Area Meetings. A reporton CD was written for the Selectmen in answer to the Chamber of Commerce Study of Town Government. Information on the New England Regional Commission in charge of Excess Property was acquired and proper forms submitted, as a result, CD was able to obtain a 1/2 ton truck for the Watertown Fire Department at no charge to the Town. An on-site inspection of radiological equipment was completed in December. Programs Papers and Staffing Patterns were completed and approved for FY 177. Preparation for Natural Disaster alerts for flooding in February and a hurricane in August were carried out. This Agency has received partial reimbursement under Federal Contributions for Personnel and Administrative Expenses this period amounting to a total of $3828.09 and $85.00 for Property Damage. This has been turned over to the E & D Town Account. The amount of Surplus Property acquired through the Commonwealth of Mass., State Agency for Surplus Property totaled $14,199.89 (Federal Acquisition Cost). This was purchased at a cost to the Town of$1084.76. Since 1957 CD has obtained a total of over $448,000.00 of surplus material through this program at a total cost of only $16,700.04. John L.

Water mains renewed: 0 In conjunction with the five phosphate feeders, an extensive flushing program of the Town's water mains was successfully completed for the ninth consecutive year. Two water samples are taken each month from different sections of the Town are are sent to the State Chemisi+at Lawrence for analysis. Fluorida- tion of the water supply started on'November 1, 1971 under the direction of the State Department of Public Health. Samples are taken seven days a week and testedlor fluoride content in the water system by the Water Section under the supervision of the Assistant Superintendent of Public Works/Utilities, Edward R. Marchant. At the present time seven samples are taken weekly from various places throughout the Town and sent to the Lawrence Experiment Station, Massachusetts Department of Public Health for analysis and results are sent to the Superintendent of Public Works. The Board of Public Works voted to increase the water rates from thirty- five cents to sixty-four cents per 100 cubic feet due to the Metropolitan District Commission increase. With the cooperation of the Tax Collector, the collection of water bills for the year has been very satisfactory. I wish to thank the Highway, Wire, Engineering and Tree Sections of the Department of Public Works and the Police and Fire Departments for their Cooperation during the past year. In conclusion, I would say that the works are in thoroughly good condition and will bear the closest inspection. 291 Thanking the members and the Superintendent of the Department of Public Works for their many courtesies extended and privileges allowed, and also thanking each employee of the Water Section for the faithful performance of their duties, this report is respectfully submitted.

During 1976 the development of the East End continued to be the major concern confronting the Planning Board. The Watertown Mall was constructed in 1975, and the same developers, Campanelli Properties, came forth in February to propose an industrial park for the 25 acre parcel north of the railroad tracks behind the mall. The industrial park proposal raised complex questions which the Planning Board resolved through the application of new review techniques. The entire site was approved for an industrial park usage ; but the location, design and impact of the individual buildings within the park, which have not yet been precisely determined, will be reviewed by the Planning Board before each building's building permit will be issued. Using this process, the special permit could be granted for the site as an industrial park, as its overall impact on the environs could be evaluated. Each building in the park, as tenants are found, is then required to come before the Planning Board for a site plan review. A building permit cannot be issued until the Planning Board approves the site plan. The impact of the buildings will be measured by the Planning Board in terms of interior circulation, open space and other such considerations. This flexible, yet comprehensive review process will adequately protect the town's interests, concurrently allowing a major development complex to progress without unnecessary delays. The Planning Board, the developer and the Board of Appeals worked hard to negotiate the final form of such an agree- ment. By the end of June most of the evaluation had been completed, but the special permit recommendations had not formally been voted by the Planning Board. Another recurrent East End proposal occupied the attention of the Planning Board for many months. The Carabetta Enterprises' plan for 551 multi- family units on Coolidge Avenue had received a favorable recommendation for a special permit in 1975, but needed to have a Chapter 121A agreement spelling out its future tax assessment in order to receive a firm financing committment from the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency. Chapter 121A of the Massachusetts General Laws requires the Planning Board to determine that four conditions are met before such a tax arrangement can be negotiated by the Selectmen. The Planning Board held its public hearing on the 121A conditions and made its finding in August that the proposal satisfied the conditions as follows: (1) that the project area constitutes a blighted, open area, (2) that the project does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the town, (3) that the project would be in no way detrimental to the best interest of the public safety and covenience and or inconsistent with the most suitable development of the town and (4) that the project will constitute a public use and benefit. The proposal then went to the Selectmen where it remained unresolved. 298 E � U Q IWAM :c V? S. _ C fti L% Cd �1".Ji:tr•F U � 0 ALI _ s, N � cz Ir Y • It _ a `t CZ Nil ill T 299 The Department of Community Affairs finished its report on the recreation, housing and land use needs of Watertown and issued its " Planning Studies Report" during the summer. The Planning Board spent several sessions analyzing the report. The board essentially agreed with the DCA recom- mendations relative to recreation and open space needs but disagreed with the DCA findings that high density resi8ential development should be the primary approach used to meet the town's housing needs. The Planning Board generally supported DCA's recommendations to improve the existing playgrounds and increase the amount of open space in the western part of the town through the development of recreation space adjacent to Ridgelawn Cemetary and on a portion of Rosary Academy. It also supported the report in its conclusion that improvement of Victory Field, and improvement in a total rather than piecemeal manner, should be the first priority in a comprehensive recreation program for the town. In an analysis of housing, the Planning Board could not support the report's emphasis on increasing densities in existing multi-family zones and creating new multi-family zones where they do not now exist. The Planning Board feels that the report encouraged a level of apartment development which would destroy the present attractive qualities of the community. The Planning Board believes that the focus should be placed on conserving and upgrading the existing housing stock, given the present high density in Watertown, before encouraging new higher density construction. The Planning Board has been dealing with major zoning questions during 1976 as a result of the passage of Chapter 808 of the Massachusetts General Laws in December 1975. This piece of legislation essentially re-wrote the Zoning Enabling Act; all cities and towns have been given the opportunity to review 808 and selectively enact its optional provisions, or wait until 1978 when the entire act will automatically go into effect. The Planning Board has taken the first alternative by reviewing the impacts the new legislation might have on the zoning process and land use decisions, and deciding which provisions are optimal for the town to adopt in the coming year. The ongoing discussions will serve to prepare the board for a town meeting in 1977 at which all zoning issues can be presented to the town. The Planning Board was active in 1976preparingan accurate and up-to-date base map of the entire community so that it could carry out different land use mapping approaches to help analyze the changes and trends in various land uses, density shifts, real estate tax burdens and other such activities in the past, present and projected future of the town. There has never been a reliable base map from which to offer visual evidence of Watertown's growth; consequently, the board looks forward to 1977 when it can begin to develop such planning tools. The 1976 caseload of special permit and variance requests before the Board of Appeals created the need for the active involvement of the Planning Board in these land use decisions. Proposed new office space over the Registry building on Spring Street merited careful review by the Planning Board of the circulation and traffic impact, and the Armenian Educational and Community Center's preliminary proposal on Nichols Avenue raised sig- nificant questions concerning these same issues. One proposal which came before the Planning Board for review, even though it reportedly needed no 300 local approval, was the U.S.Postal Service plan for a regional transportation facility on the westerly corner of the old B. F. Goodrich property by Melendy and Dexter Avenues. The Planning Board is concerned with the impact of this facility on the town and it plans to carry out a thorough evaluation of the proposal once it is completed by the Postal Service and formally submitted to the town. The new zoning legislation referred to above offers increased controls over such quasi-government facilities, and the board will use such controls as effectively as possible. While the Planning Board has been active reviewing and analyzing both major and minor development proposals throughout the year, it is seriously concerned about future development which can come into the town as a matter of right, if the conditions of a particular zone are met. For example, the board is concerned about potential strip development along Arsenal Street, which could take place, parcel by parcel, on a scale small enough to avoid site plan review, but with a cumulative negative impact. Within the permitted uses in each zone, some uses are more appropriate and more beneficial to the community than other uses, yet there are few mechanisms to either control these uses or pre-select the best ones. Accordingly, the Planning Board will make efforts to implement the new zoning legislation which will enable it to encourage development which is in the best interest of the town. Paul H.

Over the last few years the commission has found itself with a range of responsibilities, some mandated by State law, that demand a lot of time and expert assistance. The scope of conservation itself has become much broader including concern of a environmental quality and pollution control, matters which effect the quality of human life. Here are some of the matters that have been dealt with by your Conservation Commission this year. L Arsenal Park - B.O.R. The outstanding accomplishment of the year is the success of obtaining State and Federal approval for re-imbursement of the purchase of 13 1/2 acres of the Arsenal for a park. A total recreation plan has been approved for the park including: eight tennis courts, three basketball courts, three handball courts, softball field, tot-lot, amphi-theatre, and swimming pool. After acquisition and development is completed the Town will realize a profit of $749,000. giving the Town's facility valued close to three million dollars. H. Linear Park After many delays, the Bicentennial project Linear Park, is close to completion. Through the able assistance of John Wacker & Assoc. directing the Dept. of Public Works and CCTA employees in the project, we feel confident that the park will be ready for dedication this spring. The commission wishes to thank Pat Pannesi for his generous contribution of $500. to purchase plantings for Linear Park. III. Five Year Action Plan The Conservation Commission has approved a Five Year Action Plan for acquisition of land for open space and recreation. Open space and recreation areas help to upgrade property values and improved the environment for the inhabitants of the Town. 302 IV. Community Gardens The Watertown Community Gardening Program sponsored by the Conser- vation Commission came into existence during 1976. Coordinated by Gretel Munroe, a committee made up of Judith Bevans, Chris O'Brien, Adele Rustino and Mark Duggan worked out plans for the program. Land provided by Unitrode Corporation on Pleasant St. and the Watertown Re- development Authority provided land on the Arsenal. The Gore Estate also undertook to accommodate a few organic gardeners. In all, there were twenty-two gardeners gardening seventeen garden plots, in the program, plus the Unitrode employee gardens in a separate area. Water was provided free of charge for the gardeners by Unitrode and the WRA. The Fire and Water Departments cooperated in fitting a water hydrant on the Arsenal for a hose attachment. The gardens flourished and the gardeners were enthusiastic. At the height of the season, there were luxurian tomatoes, lettuce, cabbages, corn, brussel sprouts, carrots and other vegetables and a few flowers growing in the gardens. V. Flood Plain Under the direction of the Conservation Commission a Flood Plain map specific for Watertown has been developed and officially approved by HUD. This map will be used to establish new zoning regulations to cover the flood plain area in Watertown and to establish elegibility for Flood Plain Insurance. VI. Education Programs The Conservation Commission continues to sponsor high school students to the Mass 4H Environmental Workshop held in Ashland, MA. This year four students who attended a prior workshop will participate in the advanced course of study offered by the center. New students will attend Mass 4H Conservation Workshop 1-(beginners course). VII. Hatch Act Hearings Hatch Act matters which occupied the Conservation Commission included hearings with the state Dept. of Public Works on repairs of the Galen Street Bridge, monitoring of the Mt. Auburn Tennis Assocs. property adjacent to a wetland, investigation of the application of the Wetlands Protection Act to the proposed Carabetta Project. The Conservation Commission also continued to moniter rubbish disposal in the area of Sawins and Williams ponds and the activities of the Raytheon Company in relationship to Walker Pond. 303 VIII. Trees The Landscaping Fund was used to purchase trees for planting along the walkways at Saltonstall Park. The Flowering Dogwoods and two Washington Hawthorns were purchased and these were planted by the Dept. of Public Works. A generous donation of trees in memoriam for Jason Adams Albert, Mr. & Mrs. Chas. Sheldon, and Richard Kelly was made by Betty Doherty. "So, every man, woman, and child, who plants trees shall be able to say, on coming as I have come, toward the evening of life, in all sincerity and truth: 'If you seek my monument look around you!I" J. Sterling Morton Founder of Arbor Day Hope of the Conservation Commission that every person would share our concerns in the above matter as well as satisfaction in enriching the environment with a planting of.trees.

White, Jr. w� Al t de 304 WATERTOWN REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY The Annual Report of the Watertown Redevelopment Authority for the year 1976 is respectfully submitted. The year 1976 represented a period of accomplishment for the Watertown Redevelopment Authority as major impediments to successful development of the Arsenal site were overcome by Authority action. Several of the more significant accomplishments deserve mention in this report:. Early in 1976, the Authority contracted for the preparation of an environ- mental impact study for the Arsenal site. The first draft and initial State review of the report were completed in November. The final report has been submitted to the Department of Community Affairs and Environ- mental Protection Agency for the review and approval. It is anticipated that final approval of the Environmental Impact Report will take place during late February or early March, and that the Department of Community Affairs will provide the Authority with approval of the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment shortly thereafter. Advertising the site for development represents the next step for the Authority early in 1977. The year 1976 was significant because a major impasse was removed by concerted action among the Town, the Authority, and the Department of Community Affairs. The Department of Community Affairs agreed to remove as a prerequisite of approval of the Plan Amendment, any requirementthat low- and moderate - income housing be constructed on the site. In that connection, the November Town Meeting ratified the execution of the amended Cooperation Agreement and paved the way for Plan approval in early 1977. The site will be advertised in 1977, and hopefully, the business of the Authority in 1977 will be meeting with potential developers of the Arsenal site, both public and private, to work out a successful development program.

It should be noted that the cooperation received from the following depart- ments added to the total success of this celebration: Watertown Police and Fire Departments and the Auxiliaries, the Library Association, the School Departments, the Historical Society, the Public Works Department, the American Legion and V.F.W. and various other departments. On behalf of the Committee and myself, as Chairman, I would like to thank our Town Officials and the citizens of Watertown in keeping alive the tradition of our town in celebrating our nation's birthday. Edward F. Donnelly, Chairman 309 FOURTH OF JULY COMMITTEE - 1976 The Annual Independa nce Day Celebration for 1976 was held at Victory Field on July 2 nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th and again our committee worked in close conjunction with the Town Bi-Centennial Committee for a joint celebration and holiday activities. In addition to the usual amusements and concessions provided for the enjoyment of all -- a mammouth Bi-Centennial Parade was held with all its pomp and glory. Practically every local organization including many businesses entered floats, bands and marching units. The parade ended at Victory Field where exercises were held commemorating the holiday itself and a tribute to our Bi-Centennial year " 1976". On Monday, July 5th, a full day of activities and events were climaxed by the Miss Watertown "Spirit of 176" Pageant and once again the capacity crowd in attendance was indicative of the success of the entire program. Keeping in mind the overlapping fiscal periods ending June 30th each year- - the Financial Report is as follows: Balance of 1976 Appropriation $2,010.30 (Minus deductions for bills paid after June 30, 1975) Net Expenditures for 1976 1,994.78 Returned to Town $ 15.52 Appropriation for 1977 $3,500.00 Late bills tendered and paid after June 30, 1976 and charged to 1977 Appropriation $1,254.43 Balance of 1977 Appropriation $2,245.57 It would be well to note that this balance would be considerably lower had not the Bi-Centennial Committee shared some of the labor expenses connected with the activities. The Town's share of revenue from commissions on the amusement rides amounted to $1,367.80 for the four day period and a check for this amount will be presented to the Board of Selectmen with this report. A detailed breakdown on this revenue is available on request and kept with the records of the committee. Needless to say, this returned revenue greatly reduces the actual cost to the Town for sponsoring this annual event enjoyed by all the citizens and children of Watertown. 310 As in any successful event, credit should begiven to the dedicated members of the Committee and volunteer workers from the Watertown American Legion Post #99 and its Auxiliary and friends who year after year have displayed their reliability in representing the Town and give up their time and holiday to insure its success. It should also be noted that the attendance of our Town Officials, the splendid cooperation received from the Department of Public Works, the Recreation Department and the various other departments is greatly acknowledged and appreciated. On behalf of the Committee and myself as Chairman, I would like to thank our Town Fathers, the Committees recommending and approving the appropriation and all the citizens of Watertown for taking part and keeping alive this great tradition. I sincerely hope that it will be carried on for many years to come. Walter T. Munger Chairman 311 COUNCIL FOR THE AGING This Annual Report of the Council for the Aging for the year ending December 31, 1976 is respectfully submitted. The Council For The Aging feels that the Town Meeting's approved budget of $10,735.00 enabled the Council to do more for the Senior Citizens. We have a bus operating four days a week picking up Senior Citizens in various parts of the Town and transporting them to Kings Shopping Center and also the new Watertown Mall. We have also added a Handicap Van this year which is in operation, at the present time, one day a week, enabling handi- capped Senior Citizens to have transportation to and from hospitals for check-ups, treatments, tests, etc. Excursion bus trips were scheduled and included some of the following points of interest: Gloucester, Portsmouth, N. H., Rye, N.H., Newport, R.I., Rockport and Westminster. The Drop-In-Center at the Main Library is now operating five days a week, with three instructors conducting classes in social activities. The Council is appreciative of the dedication of their three instructors, Mary Ryan, Mrs. Margaret Kenney, and Mr. Alfred Feldman. The Drop-In-Center is a place for older citizens to gather for mutual companionship and social enjoyment, however, it is the hope of the Council that in the near future programs can be expanded to include choral groups and other group activities, which may necessitate larger quarters. The annual Christmas Party was a huge success and was attended by more than 300 Senior Citizens. Entertainment was provided by the Mini-Singers from the Phillips School, directed by Marilyn Moss. Mr. Piantedosi, the caterer, again this year did a tremendous job. . . . the food was excellent. The centerpieces from the Watertown Florist were exceptionally beautiful. A special note of thanks to the members of the Hibernian Club for providing the use of the hall. The Council is planning to submit a budget request at the annual Town Meeting for a permanent full time driver for both of the vehicles, in order to insure the Senior Citizens of permanent transportation in the future.

McDermott 1979 Paul C. Menton 1978 James M. Oates 1978 Stephen J. Pacifico 1979 Clyde L. Younger 1977 Daniel G. O'Connor Superintendent of Schools Thomas E. Oates Assistant Superintendent of Schools This is the ninety-sixth Annual Report of the Superintendent of Schools to the Town of Watertoirm. Once again the task of maintaining and furthering quality education while, at the same time, controlling expenditures affected by inflationary costs is evident in this report of the School Committee. Tile continuous addition of under-funded state-mandated programs, the rising costs of fixed charges and expense of facility maintenance are outlays over which the School Commit- tee has little control. These fiscal burdens have made it extremely difficult to sustain an educational budget that does notadd to the community tax rate. Nevertheless, this aim was accomplished for the present fiscal year budget and remains the goal for the FY 78 budget. In the area of curriculum, the School Committee continues to provide a number of collaborative programs that allow Watertoirm students on a voluntary basis to interact with students from other communities for the purpose of sharing cooperative, multi-level educational opportunities. Summer workshops in the areas of Primary Social Studies, Secondary Health and Bilingual Curriculum Development provided materials that are presently being complemented in classrooms. This fall saw the beginning of elementary staff crossgrade meetings designed to bring all teachers of a grade together for common problem discussions and better articulation of subject matter at the classroom level. Evaluation of a renewed priority on the writing skills of students has shown definite progress and continued emphasis in this area will be stressed. English and social studies received priority. 313 The federally funded " Metrication of Watertown", a cooperative grant developed by the School Department and the Public Library, is presently offering an in-service course to staff to better prepare them for the eventual transfer to the Metric System to the students and the community. The state-mandated areas continue to meet not only with school department support but with commendation from State Department of Education officials. The Transitional Bilingual Education program entered its second year providing educational services to almost one hundred (100) children of Greek and Armenian backgrounds. Chapter 766 for special needs children continues to be successfully implemented in both the resource areas and in the regular classroom. An in-service course for junior high teachers sponsored by Boston University is assisting Watertown teachers in the mainstreaming of 766 students at the junior high level. A system-wide coordinator has been appointed to assist the efforts of Chapter 622 that prohibits educational discrimination on the basis of a child's sex. Two new. mandated programs were introduced last spring. A School Breakfast Program makes available a nutritional breakfast for children in certain schools that meet eligibility requirements. Also offered at Watertown High School and the East Junior High School is a reduced price for lunch for senior citizens. Both Watertown High School and Home Base School received accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges after extensive internal and external evaluation. Watertown High School was granted five years, and Home Base was awarded a two year accreditation, which is the practice for schools obtaining initial approvals. Both the professional leadership and the faculty experienced change at the close of the 1975-76 school year with the retirement of three principals: Mr. Joseph Andrews of the East Junior, Mr. Clifton Felton of the Browne and Dr. John Kelley of Watertown High School. In addition, the recommenda- tion of the Superintendent to combine the principalship of the Marshall Spring and the Parker to accommodate declining enrollment was implemented in September, 1976. In summary, the School Committee continues its efforts to maintain the quality of education expected bythe citizens of Watertown, while, at the same time, control expenditures. The task of bettering educational programs without increasing the cost burden is difficult but not impossible. It is the supportive efforts of the Watertown School personnel thatenable educational progress to be realized. The School Committee and Superintendent express their appreciation for this continued support. The following reports highlight the yearly accomplishments of the individual schools and curriculum areas: ART As a result of the Art Department's concern for maintaining and a constant up-dating of its total program - curriculum and facilities - the following statements of the progress are presented for the school year 1976- 77. 314 1. A study of the facilities at the high school with appropriate recommenda- tions was made and submitted to the architect. 2 As an extension of the Artist-In-Residence program we applied for and received a $1500.00 grant from the Massachusetts Arts and Humanities Foundation for a two month residence of a professional sculptor at the West Junior High School. 3. After several years absence, the annual art exhibit was held at the Main Public Library with positive acclaim from all sectors of the community relative to the quality and success of the student's effort. 4. The art rooms at the Browne, Cunniff, Lowell, Marshall and Phillips were remodelled and improved. 5. A collaborative study " The Effect of Critical Comparisons Upon Children's Drawings." completed with Project Zero, Harvard University. 6. A change in staff as the result of a resignation: Laura Canning- High School. 7. A completion of the departments participation in many activities relative to the town's Bicentennial celebration. a. Production of official town poster. b. Designing of Town Flag carried during Knox Trail re-enactment. c. Designing of and assistance to town maintenance department in construction of Bicentennial Trailer. d. Participation in several bicentennial art exhibits and contests. e. Liberty bell construction for town parade. f. Assistance in all school activities relative to nation's celebration. 315 J ' i I f ENGLISII/LANGUAGE ARTS During 1976 the primary concerns of the English/Language Arts department have been the communication skills, particularly written composition and reading involvement. 'here has been continued stress on written composition with development of both interest in writing and actual writing starting in the first grade and becoming a weekly activity thereafter. In all writing emphasis is placed on both creativity and accuracy. Two things have been done to develop reading interest and make use of skills developed in the teaching of reading. One thing is the reading period, a system-wide program involving all students and all personnel. The other thing is a series of field trips to the public library for all sixth- grade classes and all seventh- and eight-grade English classes. Instruction in handwriting, spelling, oral communication, listening, literature, correct usage, and grammar continued with more than the usual amount of new materials because of the priority given to the subject in the school budget. 316 FOREIGN LANGUAGE, ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, BILINGUAL EDUCATION In spite of the national trend of declining foreign language enrollments the over-all Watertown picture is remaining stable. The High School enrollment is about the same as last year, the West Junior is up, the East Junior reflecting a decrease in over-all enrollment is down somewhat. Although total figures are relatively stable, there is some redistribution in particular language enrollments, i.e., increases in Italian and Spanish, decreases in French. Flexibility of staff capabilities has taken care of this problem. Because of the introduction of Spanish in the junior high schools in September 1974, for the first time this year, there are second level Spanish classes in the 9th grade of the junior highs. The feeling now is that Watertown foreign language offerings at both junior and senior high school levels are broad enough so that no more languages should be offered for the time being. Unusual and different for the Department is the fact that since the fall, by arrangement with the German Consulate, an experienced teacher from Germany has been assisting the German classes on a volunteer basis. It is a good experience for Watertown students to have such exposure to native language speakers. tit �V i� L~ r• h 317 The outstanding development in the language picture is the great increase which is taking place in ESL and Armenian bilingual classes. Mainly because of the war in Lebanon Armenian families with their children are coming to Watertown to live with or in close proximity to their relatives. Most of the children involved must be placed in the bilingual classes since their knowledge of English is so limited. The classes have increased to the point where it has become necessary to procure the services of a bilingual aide in order to conform to the Mass. Bilingual law specifications for teacher- student ratio. The aide is helping the bilingual teacher at the East Junior High School and the Bilingual and ESL teachers at the Hosmer School. Since all students in the bilingual program must also be in ESL classes to master English well enough to make the transition to standard classrooms, the ESL classes are even larger. ESL classes in addition to bilingual Armenian and Greek students include students from other ethnic backgrounds. Too small to warrant bilingual programs in their particular first language. In order to meet increased ESL needs, teacherprograms have been changed so that by combining groups, a little busing, and the establishment of three Transitional English classes for the more advanced ESL students, the situation is under control for the time being. The School Administration and the School Committee are keeping close watch on this situation which grows almost daily in order to ensure a meaningful educational experience to every Watertown student. Because of their support, Watertown can be proud of the excellent ESL and Bilingual programs which aim to mainstream as quickly as possible the linguistically handicapped children in Watertown. LIBRARY AND INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES This year began with a comprehensive report from the Media Department to the School Committee and the community of the many services that are offered to both school and town. Both the film collection and the professional libraryare used extensively by many community agencies. The librarian/media specialist serves a strong curriculum role within the school. An effective and organized program provides cost savings to Watertown, as teachers learn to share resource- print, non print, and equipment. The report also stressed facilities needs, particularly in the High School, where the library has received no substantive change since it was con- structed. Hopefully, with declining enrollments, it will be possible to retrain teachers and to provide every school with a librarian/media specialist. This year the department is involved in a national educational television production to be aired in the Spring. 318 A magnet school program, initiated by the media department, and carried out by Social Studies, has brought students from elementary, junior high, and high school to greater depths of understanding of Chinese, Portuguese, and Armenian cultures. Barbara Koven, an elementary media specialist at the Browne and Coolidge Schools was chosen to go to Egypt this summer and work on a curriculum project on the Middle East to be piloted in our schools. Elizabeth Clark, ( Lowell, Marshall Spring), has been selected to participate in the first statewide film review board. In our program of continuing support of all subject areas we have assisted the Foreign Language department in visual production (We now have our own Sesame Street in three languages), in the metrics proposal with the public library, and an upcoming Musicians Day with the Music Department. This year all schools are initiating a serious evaluation of the media program involving students, staff, and parents. This will give directions for future growth. 'I ■ 319 � 1 Mrs. Miller and Mr. McManus together with the entire staff are bringing a variety of programming in books, audiovisual, and television use to cross grade meetings of elementary teachers. They are producing a series of bibliographies of new materials, particularly designed to update teachers and promote use of our many resources. Above all, this department encourages and supports the school reading program. In every school library circulation is growing as children become aware of the importance of reading as a tool and a treasure that they will hold for a lifetime. MATHEMATICS The 1976-77 school year opened with the announcement that the Watertown Public Schools had received a $17,200 Federal Grant to continue its work in Metric Education. Watertown was the only public school system in New England and one of the very few in the nation to receive such a grant. The Watertown Public Schools and Public Libraries have now received a total of $37,000 in Federal Grants in the past three years. The grant this year will be used for In-Service courses and workshops. Sixty-two teachers from the Watertown Public Schools, St. Patrick's School, Perkins Institute and the Protestant Build for the Blind are presently enrolled in a 320 fifteen week In-Service course in Metric Education being conducted by the Watertown Public Schools and Northeastern University. The Watertown Public Schools, The Evening School, and the Public Libraries will be offering many workshops through the year to involve the entire community in an awareness of the metric system. MUSIC The Music Department is continuing to put its emphasis on improving the size and quality of the music program in the schools K through 12, as so stated by the Director of Music in last years report. This is an ongoing operation and one that we must always strive to attain. Much of the music budget has been used to bring the entire music program up to date in the areas of music literature (our music library) and equip- ment. These ingredients are perhaps the most important items so necessary for a successful program ; second only to an enthusiastic, ambitious teaching staff, in whose hands the literature and equipment become the means by which we can offer the students of Watertown the musical enrichment they need. We have continued to add new uniforms to the high school instrumental inventory to handle the projected enrollment for the future. Enrollment in the senior high school band has not attained the projected roster, and it appears that scheduling is the prime reason for t h i s. Correcting this matter is our most important priority at this time. There are many factors that enter into this and a certain mortality rate is expected when the change occurs. Moving up to the high school from junior high there is a necessary amount of guidance that must prevail to maintain our quota. Every effort is being made with our department, and the high school administrative staff to improve this transition for students involved in the music program. Enrollment in the junior high music program continues to grow, and the changes in staff have not appeared to effect our program in any negative way. Facilities continue to be one of our biggest and most important problems, and must be improved in the future if we are to have the continued success we are seriously striving for. It is predominately at the junior and senior high levels that the facilities are lacking and it is the entire music depart- ments hope that this will be vastly improved upon in the near future. The values of music to each and every individual throughout their lives cannot be stressed enough. It has been verified by wise and knowledgeable men and women the world over. The continued support of our music programs will insure its continuance as an integral part of our school curriculum. 321 OCCUPATIONAL EDUCATION Occupational/Career Education in the Watertown Public Schools is designed to encompass the total educational growth of the student throughout a lifetime. In correlation with this philosophy, the following concepts have been implemented during the past year. A new Occupational/Career Education Resource Center has been established at Watertown High School. This complex includes a computerized career education information terminal as a new tool to aid high school guidance personnel in assisting students in making career choices. This system is known as MOIS, Massachusetts Occupational Information Systems. The computer system, tied into data banks and using information retrieval techniques, can provide almost instantaneously such data as the following for any career: Job requirements and associated job opportunities, salary ranges, employment prospects, area schools that train for such positions with tuition costs, applicable courses, etc. In addition to providing up-to-date and accurate area information in the career and occupational fields for students, the system also is valuable as a time-saving device for both the counseling staff and the students. It also provides a hard copy print-out of information which a student and/or counselor may use to discuss with parents inpreparation for further training, and a wise choice of present high school courses in light of career goals. The hook-up is operable 23 1/2 hours a day. Available for users is data which includes occupational data on 250 occupa- tions, comprising 95% of the state labor force, job entrance requirements, working conditions, source for training and education, salary ranges and occupational outlook ; data on all colleges and universities in New England with programs offered, admission requirements and application deadline ; tuition costs and financial aid, housing, enrollment figures and contacts for further information; data on specialized schools, with similar data as to colleges, military data on learning programs, training and educational opportunities ; and the apprenticeship and on-the-job training data and programs including CETA programs. CEDIS has expanded its scope of support services to Massachusetts schools. This program has been established at Watertown High School through the Career/Occupational Education Department. The major emphasis of this new thrust lies in the area of curriculum services for Occupational and Career Education. Accordingly, the acronym CEDIS new stands for Curriculum Evaluation, Dissemination and Information Services. The mission of CEDIS is to increase awareness of new developments and products among Massachusetts educators and to assist them in the process of assessing, adapting, and integrating these resources. 322 In order that total utilization of the Occupational/Career Education Re- source Center may be utilized, a full-time Guidance Counselor has been assigned to this area with the hope that students may gain a deeper insight into the world of work. The CETA program in the Watertown Public Schools is in its second year of successful operation. In essence, this is a federally funded program initiated through the cooperative efforts of the Occupational/Career Educa- tion Department and the Watertown Municipal Agencies. Its purpose is to train the adult resident of the community in Business Education and Automotive Repair. With the installation of a modernized facility, electric typewriters and office machines - purchased through a federal grant - a comprehensive and individualized program in Business Education has served the purpose of training eligible area residents for placement in numerous clerical openings. CETA participants in a basic Automotive course have obtained knowledge of two and four cycle engines for the purpose of gaining the basic occupational skill necessary for jobs in the field of automotive repair and maintenance. Complete renovation of the East Junior High School Home Economics facilities was completed during this past summer recess. This project included the removal of cabinets and counter tops and the installation of three (3) completely modern kitchens. The success of Career/Occupational Education in the Watertown School System can be measured by the performance and achievements of the students. At the annual Massachusetts Industrial Education Conference in May, 1976, first prize was awarded to a Watertown High School senior in Automotives ; third prize awards were presented to two (2) high school students in Woodworking. Many awards were given to Watertown elementary students for outstanding work in Metal Tooling, Leather Craft and Sewing. Watertown High School DECA (Distributive Education Club of America) students also were awarded numerous honors and certificates of merit at the regional and state levels. One student received a third place trophy for her Manual on Modeling. Fourth place certificates were presented for Manuals on Stereos, Department Merchandising, the Hot Food Industry and the Home Furnishing Industry. PHYSICAL EDUCATION/HEALTH/ATHLETICS The highlight of this year's physical education program was the implemen- tation of co-education gym classes in grades seven through twelve. Another successful year of grade four swimming was completed. A summer workshop team spent three weeks developing a health curriculum guide to be implemented in grades seven to twelve. 323 A special celebration has been planned to honor the Watertown High Football Team whose outstanding record of 7-2-0 won them the 1976 championship of the Middlesex League. PUPIL PERSONNEL SERVICES The Pupil Personnel Services Department of Watertown Public Schools is child-centered. To meet the needs of Watertown children, the department employs a staff of specialists from many disciplines to cooperate with teachers, principals and outside agencies in planning appropriate programs for children. In the last year direct service has been given to approximately thirteen percent of the school population considered to be special needs children. Providing these services are members of the Pupil Personnel Staff: school nurses, school physicians, hearing specialist, vision specialist, school adjustment counselors, elementary and secondary guidance counselors and school psychologists. 'These specialists also work with the eighty seven percent of Watertown children not considered to have " special needs". Specialists on the staff working primarily with the special needs children are Resource Teachers, Special Education teachers, Speech Therapists, Diagnostic-Prescriptive Teacher, Physical Education Teacher ( Psycho- Kinetic Program), home/hospital teachers and last but not least, the Supervisor of Special Education. Referrals, or requests for help, made by teachers, principals, parents or others are forwarded to guidance counselors who serve as Chairpersons of the Core Evaluation Team for Case Conferences. This team develops an Educational Plan for the student referred. Implementation of the plan is subject to approval of the parent. In the system-wide pre-school screening of this year, required under the Special Education Law (CHAPTER 766) thirty-two students were screened -two required special services. Three hundred and twenty-one Kinder- garten children were screened of whom fifteen required further evaluation. Ongoing collaborative programs with schools and universities have been operating successfully again this year ;- (1). Special Education collaboratives with Arlington and Belmont, exchanging students tuition-free, among the three communities expands the range of services to be offered ; (2). Beaverbrook Therapeutic Nursery for placement of preschoolers with emotional problems from three cooperating towns: Belmont, Water- town and Waltham ; 324 (3). The EDCO collaborative- Watertown is one of thirteen communities belonging to this collaborative. An exchange program between Watertown and another EDCO community, Newton, is still in force. EDCO has assigned two spaces to Watertown in PROJECT SPACE, a program designed to give selected secondary students vocational experience. (4). PROJECT IDENTIFICATION (collaborative with Boston University, funded by TITLE III) has moved this year to East Junior High School for the first semester. Regular classroom teachers are being trained to evaluate and assist children in their class in need of special education service. A new Watertown collaborative effort initiated in September, 1976 is a partnership with LEADS ( Lexington Public Schools). PROJECT LEADS (Local Education Agency Data System)was funded under TITLE VI Part " B" last year by the State Department of Education (Division of Special Educa- tion) for the town of Lexington to develop computer software that could be adapted by almost any community in Massachusetts and to design a data base for collection, storage, retrieval and processing of student information. The purpose is to provide classroom teachers, specialists, administrators and other educators with the means for more efficient and effective school and classroom management. This year the project planning provided that Lexington be allied with one other school system as a parallel partner. Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Daniel G. O'Connor, was contacted by the Greater Boston Regional Office and Watertown was offered this opportunity. With the approval of the Watertown School Committee this collaborative effort between Lexington and Watertown has been initiated. A computer terminal for Watertown has been provided by Lexington. This will remain in Watertown as a permanent acquisition at the conclusion of the program in two years. Watertown data on special needs children was this summer entered in the Watertown IBM computer. This local data base will be expanded with advice from LEADS specialists and will be transferred to the Lexington computer ; anonymity of data will be preserved. The informa- tion will be readily accessible through out computer terminal installed in the Career Resource Center with a telephone tie-in to Lexington financed by the project funding. In the LIFE SKILLS LABORATORY, the class for the developmentally disabled at the high school, ongoing vocational projects for the manufacture of boutique seasonal items such as key rings, buttons and mirrors has been augmented by production of ballpoint pens. In the area of Guidance the CAREER RESOURCE CENTER at Watertown High School has expanded its facility, more than doubling its space. Water- town secondary schools (junior high schools and the senior high school) have augmented counseling staff by two " outreach" counselors financed by the Comprehensive Employment Training Act and by a vocational counselor funded under a CETA research grant with special concern for school dropouts. 325 The Guidance Department at Watertown High School conducted their annual follow-up study of the senior class summarized in TABLE I and TABLE 11. Of the 459 students in the graduating Class of 1976 263- 57%plan to enter some form of higher education or a post high school training program. Of the remaining students 159 indicated plans for immediate employment, 11 entered military service and 26 were undecided. The following tables summarized the types of educational programs (TABLE 1) and the kinds of occupational field (TABLE II) Watertown students planned to enter. TABLE I EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS Placement Number Percentage Four Year College (Degree) 166 36.2 Two Year College(Associate Degree) 70 15.3 Nursing Schools (three year diploma) 5 1.0 Practical Nursing 1 0.2 Two Year Schools (diploma) 2 0.4 One Year (or less) Schools 5 1.0 Preparatory Schools 7 1.5 " Waiting to Hear" 7 1.5 TABLE II KINDS OF EMPLOYMENT Placement Number Percentage Clerical Occupations 52 11.3 Sales and Service Occupations 48 10.7 Technical Occupations 21 4.6 Manufacturing Occupations 22 4.8 Miscellaneous 16 3.6 Military 11 2.3 Undecided 26 5.6 459 100.0 The holding power of any school is measured by the number of students who drop out of school prior to graduation (not including students who move because of family relocation). Of those entering Watertown High School in Grade X, only 6.5% of students dropped out. Therefore, the holding power of the Watertown High School continues to be satisfactory (93.5%). 326 READING The reading department consisting of thirteen personnel provides the following services for the schools. First, they assist and support the classroom teacher in the teaching of reading. Second, they assist in screening youngsters for possible special instruction in reading. Third, they are resource specialists in reading who interpret and execute the system-wide reading program at their specific levels. Lastly, they provide intensive specialized reading instruction for the seriously disabled reader. This is the second year of our Reading Resource and Drop-In Center. The Center is located in the Coolidge Elementary School and has been fully operative since September of last year. The main components of the Center are: 1) a resource center of elementary reading materials, and 2) elemen- tary teacher and parent workshops. The Center has been well received and highly utilized by both teachers and parents. The Junior High School reading labs are now in their fourth year and the achievement tests results and reading lab enrollments are at an all time high. The Director of Reading is doing his doctoral dissertation on the effectiveness of the junior high reading labs and all preliminary findings are very encouraging regarding reading growth and positive changes in reading attitudes. The Home Base School is continuing to provide a comprehensive reading program for its students. The reading program is an integral part of the total language arts core curriculum. The teaching of basic skills has now become an integral part of the entire Home Base teaching staff and cur- riculum. As a result of a model proposal with 75% reimbursement, the senior high school now has a fully equipped and modern reading lab. The Director of Reading was successful in writing an NDEA III Federal Proposal to develop a secondary reading lab. It was the only proposal in the state of Massa- chusetts to receive model proposal status. This means that it was an exemplary proposal which would serve as a model for other communities to replicate. The Reading Lab at the High School serves all students. The lab is highly individualized and provides a multi-media and multi-model approach to teaching reading. A concentrated sophomore reading program will provide intensive instruction in reading for sophomores who have been screened in the ninth grade and found to be deficient in basic reading skills. The Reading Department is continuing to work closely with neighboring universities. For example, the Watertown Public Schools have had a cooperative program with the Northeastern University Reading Clinic. Elementary grade students have been transported to the Clinic on a weekly basis and received private tutoring. Watertown is the only community to have such a program and there is no cost to the town. Graduate students from Boston University. and Suffolk University continue to come to the Watertown Public Schools to do their teaching practicums in reading. Suffolk University has been sending graduate students in reading to Water- town during the summer school program to assist the regular staff in the reading programs during the summer session. 327 SCIENCE The elementary science curriculum has undergone minor revisions in the past year. A new unit on Birds has been added to the 4th grade program. Both teachers and students are discovering that there are more different species of birds in Watertown than they had realized. In the junior high schools, we have laboratory-oriented programs in Life Science, Earth Science and Physical Science in which students learn the basic skills of scientific investigation and methodology. The new preparation -storage rooms have contributed to the improved quality of the science program in both junior high schools. In Watertown High School, a new program, Biological Science: An Ecolo- gical Approach, is in full implementation this year. It is the goal of the program to help students understand and value our environment and its natural resources. Another innovative Program, Physics 41, is being taught through an individualized, self-paced method where students work individually or in small groups according to their own pace. The teacher works with students who need assistance. This is the only individualized academic program in the high school and it has been extremely successful in the past three years. SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department is in the third year of a system wide cur- riculum research and development program. Inquiry, conceptualization of the social disciplines and discovery are some of the designs with which Watertown will concern itself. Major concepts and generalizations are being introduced in the students' schooling, at a simple level through experiences appropriate to his/her stage of maturation. In succeeding years the concepts are to be treated with increasing depth and through different content for each exposure. Skills and values as integral components of the conceptual frameworks are to be treated in the same spiral fashion. Three objectives stand out above all others. The first and predominant objective is to develop an understanding of key concepts, generalizations, and themes and the ability to use them as hypotheses to guide study and as centers around which data can be organized. It is of extreme importance that structure be defined to show how ideas are related, how key concepts are used as tools of inquiry, and how themes or generalizations may be used to bring concepts together into meaningful relationships. Approaches based on the teaching of isolated facts and unrelated ideas are totally condemned. A second major objective is to develop those attitudes, skills, and modes of inquiry that are characteristic of disciplined study and are most useful in lifelong learning. A third major objective is to develop competent citizenship through a solid grounding in the social sciences. The intent is to develop competence in using concepts, generalizations, and methods of inquiry as a basis for analyzing problems and issues and for studying new topics. Emphasis is given to the developmentof skill in assessing proposed solutions to problems by applying criteria derived from relevant disciplines. 328 BROWNE SCHOOL Major changes in staff occurred at the Browne School during the 1976 school year. Foremost was the retirement of Clifton A. Felton after almost a quarter of a century of service as principal. Mr. Felton, a dedicated and respected educator, was tended a testimonial banquet in June at which parents, former pupils and co-workers paid him special tribute. Pauline Brooks, a mainstay at the Browne School for many years, also retired. Jack Chinian became principal of the Browne School effective September 1, 1976. Mr. Chinian was the former principal of the Parker and T-6 schools. William McCarthy, a fifth grade teacher, transferred to the Marshall Spring School where he assumed the duties of assistant principal. Over the years, the Browne School P.T.O. has been an active organization working diligently for the betterment of the educational process at the Browne School. COOLIDGE SCHOOL The Greek Bilingual Program is in its second year of operation at the Coolidge School. It is designed to help students whose native language is Greek and who have difficulty functioning full time in a regular classroom. Math, Science and Social Studies instruction is provided in Greek. Additional instruction is given in the native language and culture. Ms. Xydis, a native of Greece, instructs students of all grade levels from 12: 00 - 2: 00 P.M. every day. Another facet of the program is instruction in English as a second language referred to as E. S. L. Mrs. Slater provides intensive English to all grade levels for an hour and a half daily. 329 r CUNNIFF SCHOOL The Cunniff School has changed its math program and some of its language arts program to stronger basic concepts. The new social studies curriculum guide for the primary grades is being implemented. The photo accompanying this report will indicate some of the pupil participation this Bicentennial year. Our library is functioning smoothly with the assistance of thirteen volunteers. We are deeply appreciative of their involvement and interest in our school. The Chapter 766 program, assistance for children with special needs, has experienced continued success. There has been excellent cooperation between parents and staff at the evaluation conferences. The program has proved to be both constructive and positive in its goals and achievements. Once again, most of our staff are serving on educational committees or representing the school as liaison personnel for one of the subject areas. We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the outstanding contributions our P.T.O. has made to the operation of our school. 330 � If A HOSMER SCHOOL NEW READING PROGRAM Under the guidance of Mr. John Arone, the Hosmer School reading con- sultant, a new basal reading system was put into effect in the intermediate grades. The Holt, Rinehart and Winston program provides for fifteen levels of instruction allowing teachers to refine placement of children. Within this program, which provides placement survey devices, there is provision for constant re-evaluation of instructional needs. Administration of unit pre-tests enable .teachers to set realistic goals for teaching and provide guidelines for lesson planning. Unit post-tests help teachers formulate plans for remedial teaching where needed. The program includes a series of" Language Extenders", a highly motivating set of filmstrips and cassettes designed to get children into each new unit. Implementation of this individualized basal program has enabled us to ensure a spiralling development of skills while avoiding creation of gaps in learning. It also has enabled us to take full advantage of our staffs expertise in the teaching of reading through grouping of children by instructional level. 331 THE HOSbIER SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL On the evening of March 18, 1976, the Iiosmer School students, under the guidance of Miss Cheryl Larsen, took part in an intercultural event, the Hosmer School International Festival. Countries from all over the world were represented, and research reports, artifacts, costumes and a variety of foods were displayed throughout the auditorium. Tile idea for this festival began in Miss Cheryl Larsen's sixth grade class- room where students were asked to do extensive studies on a cultural group of their choice. As many countries and ethnic groups contribute to American life, this project was a valuable experience and an informative study for all students. With the recent revision in the social studies area, this project also coincided very well with all aspects of the curriculum established for the Watertown Schools. The Hosmer School P.T.A. saw this classroom event as a worthwhile experience for all students and the community. Miss Larsen was asked to organize this project on a larger scale to involve the entire school during the following academic year. Students, parents, faculty and adminis- tration worked together to produce one of the most well attended events the Hosmer School has ever organized. The I-losmer School P.T.A. greatly supported Miss Larsen and the students, and provided everyone with the necessary materials to make this event a success. Crowded into what had appeared to be a large auditorium, the number of people attending the International Festival completely encompassed this entire room. International dancers entertained their guests for nearly an hour with Armenian, Irish, Greek, and Polish dances. A square dance performed by some sixth grade students completed this segment of the program. Two new teachers to the Watertown School System devoted much time to the International segment of the festival. Miss Vicki Dilsizian and Miss Elaine Xydis, bilingual teachers, did an outstanding job of organizing Greek and Armenian students for dance routines. Nearly every grade, including the kindergartens at the I-losmer, contributed much to this celebration in the areas of displays, foods, costumes, audio-visual presentations, and support for all students. it was truly an event to attend, with enthusiasm and cooperation at their highest points. LOWELL SCHOOL, This year is the Lowell School's fiftieth birthday. Several birthday events are being planned, chief among which will be research by the children on the founding of the school and a comparison of life today with that of fifty years ago. 332 Strong emphasis continues to be placed on the subjects of reading, social studies, mathematics and written composition at school. One of the more dramatic writing lessons occurred this year when- in connection with the nation's Bicentenary, some five hundred of the children's messages were carried aloft in helium balloons. Acknowledgments were received from distances of thirty miles. a t M 1 1 M 1' i Lowell School will continue its affiliation with Project Torque at Education Development Center. New approaches to testing mathematics have been developed by Torque and will be piloted here and in several other schools throughout the country. 333 MARSHALL SPRING SCHOOL A process to bring preventive and supportive services to children with special learning needs was tested at the Marshall Spring School. After the requirement for such services i as demonstrated by a child, services were provided, when possible, in the regular classroom. Evidence gathered indicated that collaborative interaction among staff members was improved over past experiences. Also, the integration function (grouping pupils for purposes of instruction) was better maintained when services were brought to the classroom rather than "pulling out" the child for help. The process was known as mainstreaming. The evaluation of the procedure signified that the process represented a viable medium for instructional servicing. Teachers at the Marshall Spring School, accepting the assumption that the goal of reading was comprehension, initiated a program to teach com- prehension skills to children at an early age. The purpose of the program was to develop these skills in children so that they could apply them to a variety of experiences, eventually including reading, and thus increasing their appreciation, understanding, and utilizing of these experiences. The aim was to matte reading a profitable and enjoyable experience which would enrich the learner's personal life and potential contributions to our society. Testing demonstrated that comprehension skills were learned independently from reading the printed word. The program deemed productive as a result of tested program objectives. PHILLIPS SCHOOL We are pleased to present the fifth Phillips School Annual Report prepared completely by Phillips students. We express our appreciation to Alison Cameron, Eddie Francis, Carolyn Cronin, Ann Marie Amatangelo, Patricia McGinness, Katie O'Dwyer, Ann O'Dwyer, and Scott Edwards who prepared the following report. Art: The Phillips School Art Room is wonderful. We just received new cabinets, a sink, and a kiln. The little kids made curtains of circuses and things like that. We've bought enough supplies to last a year thanks to Mr. Manzelli. Mrs. Sicchitano comes in every Monday and Wednesday. Ms. Rodanas comes in every Tuesday and Thursday. Parent Conferences: Teachers meeting parents is very important. That is why we have Parent Conference Week. During that week teachers have a chance to show and tell parents how their children are doing in school. It also lets parents ask questions concerning their children. The parent conferences are held in November and in February. Gym: Mr. Mantenuto, Miss Rogers, and Mr. Shannon all are teachers in gym. When I interviewed Mr. Mantenuto, he said " I have wanted to teach Gym for a long time." I am sure that all the children enjoy gym. 334 Kite Day: Kite Day was a fun time last year. All the kids either made a kite, had one, or had bought one. Even though the day that was chosen for Bite Day wasn't too windy, some of the kites got pretty high and everybody had a good time. There was one kite that was simply gorgeous! It was a silver dragon kite about seven feet long. The educational thing about Kite Day was all the kites were measured in metrics. Music: This year the Phillips School has some very talented musical instructors - - Mrs. Moss, Mr. Poindexter, Mr. Kirkjian, and Mr. Hahn, the director of all music. Mrs. Moss conducts Glee Club and Minisingers and she does a terrific job at it! Mr. Kirkjian comes to the Phillips School to teach brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. Ile also has musical technique ! Mr. Poindexter teaches violin and he encourages his students. Mrs. Moss, Mr. Kirkjian, and Mr. Poindexter make singing and playing an instrument fun! ! Boys' Sports: Boys' sports include basketball, coached by Mr. Papas ; football, coached by Mr. Sclafani ; soccer, also coached by Mr. Sclafani. Varsity basketball had a very successful year. The team won first place and received a trophy which is displayed in the school library. Although the season was not so successful in football and soccer, the boys really enjoyed these sports. Swimming Program: The swimming program at the Boys' Club is in its second year. The fourth and fifth grades at the Phillips School took part in this program. The students enjoyed this activity. As their swimming improved, pupils advanced from Tadpoles (beginners) to Sunfish (middle group) to Goldfish (advanced). At the end of the program certificates were given to each group. President's Group: The President's Group was a special project to help voters learn about the people running for President of the United States The two teachers who ran this program were Mrs. Agranat and Miss Milano. The students who were in the program enjoyed it very much. They made collages and a filmstrip on the debates and the questions on the ballot. Industrial Arts: The Industrial Arts Program at the Phillips School includes leather work and copper tooling, knitting and sewing. The instructors in this program are Mr. Slight and Mrs. Griffin. Boys and girls in the fifth and sixth grades participate in these classes. Mr. Slight takes the students, step by step, through the basics of industrial arts. He is always there when you need help. In June, 1976 students from Phillips School took part in the Massachusetts Industrial Education Conference. They came back to Watertown with many awards. Science: Bernie Zubrowski is a science teacher on Fridayafternoon and enjoys it very much. He also works at the Children's Museum in .Jamaica Plains, MA. With Bernie, children can create terrific projects out of household scraps. Also, in regular classes kids do many projects, such as bones, small things, rocks, etc. 335 Cultural Program: The Cultural Program introduced us to Chinese, Armenian and Portuguese customs. It involved three schools from Watertown. The Lowell, Phillips, and Hosmer and the Kennedy School in Cambridge, and the Michaelangelo School in Boston. We went to East Cambridge, Coolidge Square, and Chinatown. We ate Armenian and Chinese food. EdCo: EdCo was a program for a class from Phillips and one from a Boston school. We went to Boston and they came to Phillips. We worked with different things like clay, painting, weaving, make-up, etc. PARKER SCHOOL The Parker School staff, reacting to the need to consolidate its resources as a result of declining student population, reorganized some of the grades into dual classes, (classes that have more thanonegrade level). The transition, aided by the staffs ability to individualize instructional techniques, was accomplished with ease. Also, despite a reduction in staff, split classes opened more alternatives for student placement in the school. An effort was made this year to improve the Resource Room program for servicing children with special learning needs. Collaborative teams made up of teachers, counselors, speech and/or reading specialist implemented internal formalized procedures to deliver specific services to children with unique requirements. The library program was expanded this year. The librarian, teamed with classroom teachers, integrated research and visual literacy skills into the social studies program. The effort welded together a variety of learning skills to aid children with their studies. EAST JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL During the past year we have diligently followed the curriculum as pre- scribed by the School Department. We also did many extras that I would like to mention here. TRIPS 1. The Science Department's annual trip to Cape Cod National Seashore Park. Eighty seventh graders participated in this three day experience under the direction of the Science Faculty. Cooking over open fires, sleeping in tents, exploring shore life and Cape Cod geology, visiting the Brewster Aquarium and Provincetown, make this a most valuable educational and social experience. 336 2. The Washington, D. C. trip for ninth graders - This experience is evaluated by all as the best of many good ones - It is a seven day - six night program that includes just about everything that one could see or do in our Nation's Capital. The highlight was a meeting with House Majority Leader, Thomas P.O'Neill, Jr., who is also the Town of Watertown's Representative in the Congress of the United States. Today, of course, he is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. 3. The Resource Program included several enjoyable and educational field trips. These included the Peabody Museum, the Busch Reisinger Museum, and the Fogg Museum, a Chinese restaurant that included dinner. CULTURAL PROJECTS 1. " Music in Our Schools" Day was a tremendous success, - The Chorus, Instrumental Ensemble members, guest performances from Joy of Move- ment, and the New England Conservatory combined to make this a great success. The Music Department, under the direction of Ms. Galebach and Mr. Rich, presented spring and winter evening concerts, at which there was enthusiastic response by the parents. The Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta, "Pirates of Penzance" was skillfully directed by Donna C. Galebach and performed brilliantly by our pupils. 2. The Guidance Department has instituted and developed a tutoring program with the Hosmer School in the area of students with special needs. 3. " Meet the Candidates" assembly- This is the annual program under direction of Mr. Joseph DiLeo. Candidates for town, county and state officers participate. A mock election follows this assembly. 4. " Political Discovery"-A program that has 10 pupils and 1 teacher spending a full week exploring the political process as it unfolds in Boston's Government Center and the State House. 5. The Team Approach to Problem Solving. This is an in-service course that was conducted at the EastJunior this year. It was open to all Watertown Teachers of whom ten from the East participated. 6. " For Kids Only" - a project that will be on Channel 4, January 15, 1977, at 7: 30 p.m. and also on January 22, 1977, at 7: 30 a.m. This will involve 8 pupils from the East Junior High. 7. A penmanship improvement program was inaugurated this year which was made possible by the services of a parent-volunteer, Mrs. Margaret Dowd. Thank you, Mrs. Dowd! 8. The Metric System - an in-service presented by Northeastern Univer- sity. This course is being offered system wide and ten members of the staff at the East Junior are involved in it. 337 THE BUILDING We believe that very noticeable improvement has taken place in the appear- ance of the building. The Home Economics room has been renovated and considerable painting has been done. ATHLETICS We have had another successful year. As usual we have had more than our share of wins ; but even more important the high percentage of pupils, both boys and girls, who participate is most encouraging. SPECIAL NOTE The year 1976 is the two hundredth birthday of the United States. The people of this country have been celebrating this bicentennial for the past two years. This year, 1976, has a very special meaning to the Town of Watertown. It marks the retirement of Joseph W. Andrews from the Watertown School System. Joseph W. Andrews had been a member of this system for the past forty- four years ; the last fifteen of which he was principal of the East Junior High School. During this period a great many people have benefited from their associations with him. I know all of them join all of us in saying " Good Luck, Joe, may your retirement be long, healthful, and enjoyable". WEST JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL A new look for the West Junior High took place during the summer of 1976 as the first phase of new windows were installed on the Waverley Avenue and Bemis Street sides of the building. In this Bicentennial year, the Fife and Drum Corps represented not only the West Junior High School, but also the entire town of Watertown in a most complimentary fashion. Their precision in their many appearances earned for them an invitation to the Old Guard Muster at Alexandria, Va., and a performance on the Ellipse at the White House in Washington, D.C. This latter appearance also earned for them a Certificate of Appreciation from the President of the United States. Watertown and the West Junior High is truly proud of this group of youngsters and their instructor, Everett Nau. The Student Council sponsored several events during the year, among which were the trip to the United Nations building in New York City, and a trip to Washington, D.C. 338 \` a a , r 4. .. .. ....:F ir'�' .n\tip •,v.•E`"�'":Y7' � -'tiM1""N.,�$ •, Athletically it was a good year for the West as the football and hockey teams wrested their respective trophies from the East Junior in exciting contests ; however, the basketball team lost its trophy to the East .Junior for the first time in many years. The Palace Players produced the musical, " Anything Goes," under the directorship of Mrs. Donna Raposa. Once again the production of this group was extremely well done. An in-service course sponsored by an E.S.E.A. Title III grant to Boston University and the Watertown Public Schools was held at the West Junior to provide teachers with the skills to work with the 766 program in our school, a program which deals with the special needs student. The West Junior High School was honored to have Mrs. Diane Bemis of the Science Department named the Conservation Teacher of the Year by the Middlesex Conservation District. The award provides recognition of some of the high quality instruction taking place at the West Junior. 339 Also in the area of program Miss Elaine Mackowsky, with the cooperation of the Mount Auburn Hospital, conducted an alcohol education program in her health classes during the year. Ina similar vein the West Junior High School Parent-Teacher Organization sponsored a well attended evening panel on alcohol abuse that included participants from the Watertown Police Depart- ment, the Mount Auburn Hospital, the Waltham Court, and Representative Robert Manzelli. In September, the physical education classes were scheduled with boys and girls in the same classes. This was done to comply with the provisions of the recently passed state and federal legislation. This continues a trend begun several years ago when students began to be scheduled into home economics and industrial art classes without regard to sex. In response to a concern about the decrease in the amount of reading for pleasure that takes place, the West Junior began its ACE Reading Program. Under this program all students read for 25 minutes every other day. They read books of their own choice for pleasure. Not only do students read, but also teachers secretaries,administrators,and whoever may be in the building during reading time. 1976 was a very productive year at the West Junior, and the students showed their appreciation through exceptional behavior and good work habits. WATERTOWN HIGH SCHOOL Watertown High School students, faculty and staff welcomed Dr. Manson P. Hall as the new headmaster of Watertown High School in early September. Dr. Hall was selected by the Watertown School Committee after a lengthy nation-wide search had been conducted, and he comes to his new position from the Newton Public Schools where he was a housemaster. Dr. Hall has established two of his priorities as being assessment and possible revision of curriculum, and faculty evaluation. Pursuant to these two priorities, Dr. Hall has established the following standing committees School and Community, Philosophy and Objectives, Curriculum, Student Activities, Media, Guidance, School Facilities, School Staff and Administra- tion, Art, Business Education, Distributive Education, Driver Education, English, Foreign Language, Health Education, Home Economics, Early Childhood, Industrial Arts, Math, Physical Education, Science, Social Studies, Special Education, and Career Education. Dr. Hall and his assis- tants are constant visitors to the classrooms in a continued effort to support the faculty in their maintaining and improving Watertown High School's commitment to excellence in education. Also, Dr. Hall has formed an advisory group of students, parents, faculty, and members of the community in order to gain a wider understanding of community needs and concerns and will continue to meet with this group throughout the year. 340 HOME BASE SCHOOL In its sixth year of operation, Home Base School has developed from an experimental program to an established part of the Watertown School System. Numerous evaluations have reported that many of the questions asked of the new educational program have been answered. During this school year Home Base was awarded accreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Only two other alternative schools have completed this process, indicating the success of the Watertown alternative. Home Base has continued to send a high percentage of its students on to college, with most students gaining admission to the college of their first choice. Many innovative curricula, primarily in the areas of vocabulary, spelling, language arts, reading, and general mathematics, have been developed for the school's core curriculum. Asa result of these innovations, the school has also increased its ability to work with students of all ability levels and needs. The school's program of teaching reading and writing through the content areas has been strengthened and has captured the interest of several universities and high school programs. New community placements for students have been developed, including numerous out-of-school activities in cooperation with the Metropolitan Planning Project. Student programs are constructed by the students with guidance from staff members and parents. These programs have a dual focus--inwards toward the school and outwards to the community. Between the courses and programs offered at Home Base, and the field experiences and courses available in the Boston Community, the needs and interests of each student are met. Since it is essential that students be guided in their development towards independence and responsibility for their education, the staff role has become increasingly that of advisor and counselor. The staff helps students define their interests and goals, develop programs that will meet these needs, and then evaluate their own programs. In the coming year Home Base staff will continue to improve various aspects of the program such as the student selection process, the orientation of new students and the use of resource teachers. A staff taught evaluation course that teaches and uses research methodology to evaluate various aspects of the school, has become a part of the school curriculum. Con- sequently, the school's programs and policies are evaluated regularly. Students' and parents' responses continue to be overwhelmingly positive concerning the educational experience at Home Base. The spirit of the school remains one of innovation, excitement, and flexibility. 341 GENERAL STATISTICS Number of School Buildings (Town owned) 11 Senior High School 1 Junior High Schools 2 Elementary Schools 8 Home Base School (Leased) 1 12 SCHOOL PERSONNEL Central Office Personnel: Men Women Total Superintendent 1 1 Assistant Superintendent 1 1 Director of Personnel 1 1 Director of Cafeterias 1 1 Administrative Assistants 1 1 2 Supervisor of Custodians 1 1 Secretaries 7 7 Secretaries (Part Time) 2 2 6 10 16 Principals: Men Women Total Senior High School 1 1 Junior High School 2 2 Elementary Schools 7 7 Program Chairman-Home Base School 1 1 10 1 11 Assistant Principals: Secondary 4 4 Elementary(Part Time) 6 1 7 Elementary 1 1 Dean of Girls-Senior High School 1 1 11 2 13 Administrators and Directors (K-12) Art 1 1 English 1 1 Foreign Language 1 1 Libraries and Media 1 1 Mathematics 1 1 Music 1 1 342 Administrators and Directors (K-12) Dien Women Total (Continued) Occupational Education 1 1 Physical Education and Athletics 1 1 Pupil Personnel Services 1 1 Reading 1 1 Science 1 1 Special Education 1 1 Social Studies 1 1 9 4 13 Department Heads: Audio Visual 1 1 Business Education 1 1 2 Specialists: Art(Elementary) 1 4 5 Bilingual 3 3 Computer Programmer 1 1 English as Second Language 3 3 Guidance (Elementary) 1 6 7 Guidance (Secondary) 6 6 12 Home Economics (Elementary) 1 1 Industrial Arts (Elementary) 1 1 Librarians (Elementary and Secondary) 8 8 music (Elementary) 6 1 7 Physical Education (Elementary) 3 1 4 Reading 2 9 11 Resource 3 15 18 School Adjustment Counsellor 1 1 2 School Psychologist 1 1 2 Speech 4 4 Visual Handicapped 1 1 26 64 90 Teachers: Senior High School 48 28 76 Junior High Schools 34 41 75 Home Base School 5 2 7 Elementary Schools 10 91 101 97 162 259 343 Men Women Total Teacher Aides: 4 4 Volunteer/Aide: 1 1 Health Personnel: Nurses 5 5 Hearing Tester 1 1 Doctors 3 3 3 6 9 Secretaries: Senior High School 6 6 Junior High Schools 3 3 Home Base School 1 1 Elementary Schools 9 9 Pupil Personnel Services 2 2 21 21 Food Service: Lunch Aides 39 39 Cafeteria Workers 27 27 Storekeeper-Chauffeur 2 2 2 66 68 Plant Operation: Custodians 36 36 Electrician 1 1 Carpenter 1 1 Painter-Rigger 1 1 Plumber 1 1 Matrons 2 2 Bus Drivers 3 3 40 2 42 344 SCHOOL ENROLLMENT 1974, 1975, 1976 Elementary Schools 1974 1975 1976 Kindergarten 412 372 328 Diagnostic Kindergarten 8 6 Grade I 412 414 385 Grade II 401 379 382 Grade III 399 376 357 Grade IV 377 382 363 Grade V 456 364 380 Grade VI 415 438 373 2872 2733 2574 Junior High Schools Grade V II 435 400 433 Grade VIII 478 428 402 Grade IX and Home Base 437 464 423 1350 1292 1258 Senior High School Grade X 492 419 454 Grade XI 469 484 422 Grade XII 478 474 475 Ungraded 16 14 16 1455 1391 1367 TOTAL 5677 5416 5199 PERSONNEL In Memoriam Ann Pizzuto High School RETIREMENT Joseph Andrews East Junior Pauline J.
