BOARD OF SELECTMEN
In compliance with statutory requirement, the Board of Selectmen re-
spectfully submits its Annual Report to the citizens of Watertown for the
period July 1, 1978 to June 30, 1979.
At the Annual Town Election held on May 1, 1978, Thomas J. McDermott
was re-elected Selectman of the Town of Watertown for a three year term.
At the Board's organizational meeting in May, following the annual
election, Thomas J. McDermott was elected Chairman of the Board of
Selectmen and Guy A. Carbone was elected Clerk; said Selectmen were
also elected respectively, Chairman and Clerk of the Board of Public
Works, Licensing Board and Board of Survey. The other Board member
during 1978 was Patrick B. Ford.
August M. Stiriti was reappointed Administrative Assistant to the Board of
Selectmen; Helen Perez was reappointed Confidential Secretary of the
Board of Selectmen and 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.
Herbert O. Berry, Esquire, continued to serve as Town Counsel until
July 1, 1978, on which date Gary S. Brackett, Esquire, was appointed the
first full-time Town Counsel of the Town of Watertown.
The Board of Selectmen, sitting also as the Board of Public Works, the
Licensing Board and the Board of Survey, held regular weekly meetings
on Mondays at 3:30 o'clock p.m. In addition the Board of Selectmen met
as frequently as was necessary to fulfill the requirements of the Town's
Chief Executive Office.
19
Selectman McDermott, has continued his practice of opening the office of
the Selectmen to the citizens of Watertown every Wednesday evening at
7 p.m. Many hundreds of residents have availed themselves of this
service, bringing their individual concerns, questions and suggestions
directly to the Board.
Continuing its implementation of modern management practices, the
Board of Selectmen engaged the firm of Arthur D. Little to review the
Town's present budgetary process and to develop a Program Budgeting
System which would provide a new approach to department and line item
budgeting techniques. Program budgeting forces the Department
Managers to identify their various responsibilities as individual activities.
When fully implemented, this budgeting system will be more under-
standable, more meaningful, and therefore more controllable. The Depart-
ment of Public Works,the most diverse of the Town's major departments,
has been used as the model for the implementation of this new budgeting
technique. When fully operational, this will be an invaluable tool in
stabilizing the tax rate by allowing the Selectmen, through the Depart-
ment Managers, to plan and forecast the amount to be spent for programs
as well as enabling them to control the actual expenditures in relation to
these plans. In order to proceed with the Town wide implementation of
Program Budgeting the Board of Selectmen is requesting the necessary
funds to hire a full-time computer programmer.
The Chairman of the Board of Selectmen organized and managed a
"Vote Yes On Question One Committee" in Watertown in preparation for
the referendum on the Classification amendment. In November, the
citizens of Massachusetts, and in particular the voters of Watertown by
a 90% majority, voted to amend the State's Constitution. This amend-
ment, which did much to help the homeowner, made legal the practice of
assessing residential properties at a rate lower than commercial and
industrial properties.
The Town's Tax Rate increased from $223 to $228, or an increase of only
2% or$5.

Expenditures:

This Board of Selectmen was particularly conscious of the burden placed on
our citizens by the ever increasing cost of government caused by inflation
and the ever increasing state mandated programs. Mindful of their
mandate for fiscal responsibility, this Board of Selectmen, as the Chief
Executive Officers of this community, ordered all departments to submit
budgets for the 1979-1980 fiscal year reflecting no increase over those
approved last year.
The Board of Selectmen will continue to expend every possible effort
towards widening the Town's Tax Base during these serious inflationary
times. The Board of Selectmen is pleased to report that the favorable
business climate in our Town has resulted in many local industrialists
availing themselves of Industrial Revenue Financing to develop and
expand their operations within the Town. The Board actively encourages
and seeks out firms to relocate and expand in the Town of Watertown
and is proud to report that as a result of these activities over Ten Million
Dollars of new construction is planned over the next twelve months, and
will utlimately by added to our Tax Base.
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 an 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, and
participates in MBTA deliberations and studies. The Board of Selectmen
has been successful in improving not only the quantity but also the quality
of service for the Town. Watertown's deficit assessment for MBTA
service for fiscal year 1978 is reported in the annual report of the Town
Auditor as well as on the foregoing chart of Expenditures.
The Selectmen were successful in obtaining large amounts of Federal and
State Funds for the improvement of the quality of life for our citizens.
The Town has just received $2.5 Million for the complete reconstruction of
Mount Auburn Street from Watertown Square to the Cambridge City
line. On this project there will be 75% Federal participation and 25%
State participation. The Town has also received full funding in the amount
of $500,000 for a completely new lighting system of this roadway which
qualified as an Urban System Project. In addition, the Town has just
received initial approval for the funds necessary to reconstruct both
Arsenal and North Beacon Streets.
The Town of Watertown has received $1,214,000 as re-imbursement
for its acquisition of 13.68 acres from the Watertown Redevelopment
Authority for the construction of Arsenal Park. The Town will also receive
an additional $465,000 from the Federal Government to assist the com-
munity in the construction and the development of Arsenal Park.
23
In addition, the Town of Watertown is in receipt of a $5W,000 Community
Development Block Grant to be used for the improvement of qualifying
residential structures in our community. This Board of Selectmen plans
to continue to aggressively pursue all avenues of outside funding sources.
The Board of Selectmen has retained a Grantsman Management Con-
sultant to provide services in developing recommendations for establishing
a federal grant coordination process so that Watertown will have the
capacity to carry out the grantsmanship function without additional out-
side cost. The Board of Selectmen hopes to take advantage of whatever
opportunities are available to undertake priority projects through grant
funds. Progress has already been made in this direction but more work
must be done so that Watertown can maximize its development activities.
The cooperation and participation of all Town officials and personnel, as
well as citizens and community leaders, will be needed if Watertown is to
be successful in this undertaking.
This year the Watertown Redevelopment Authority moved in the direction
of developing its 33 acre parcel on the Arsenal site, meeting with seven
potential developers which were then narrowed down to two finalists for
the ultimate development of the area. This long awaited development will
ultimately bring in to our community much needed tax revenue.
In concluding this report, the Board of Selectmen would like to express its
sincere appreciation to the many Boards, Commissions, Committees,
Town Meeting Members and Town Employees who have contributed their
talents toward making Watertown a growing and dynamic community with
much potential for the future.
The Board of Selectmen wishes to publicly thank our hard working
Congressman, Speaker of the House of Representatives Thomas P.
O'Neill, Jr. for his tireless efforts in assisting the Board of Selectmen in
fulfilling its obligations to the citizens of Watertown -- the Mother Town of
the United States.
The Board of Selectmen looks forward to working with the citizens of the
Town, as together, we continue to build a strong and growing economy
to enable us to continue to support a superior quality of living for our-
selves and for our children.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas J. McDermott, Chairman

TOWN CLERK'S REPORT
JULY 1, 1977-JUNE 30, 1978
Chapter 3, Section 3 of the By-Laws of the Town of Watertown requires
that certain officials and departments, including the Office of Town Clerk,
report to the Town annually on the doings of the fiscal year just passed.
In keeping with this legal requirement, the following figures and data in
this report describes the activity of the fiscal year, July 1, 1977 through
June 30, 1978. Some of the data herein would indeed be more sensibly
arranged in a calendar year format, and in fact, elections and Town
Meeting actions are reportedfor the calendar year 1978.
This report fails to document probably our most important public service,
assisting the public in access to our public records.
The records kept by this office, be they calendar years or fiscal years,
trace the history and growth of"Great Little Watertown" from its inception
in 1630 to the present day. On the eve of-our 350th Anniversary, we remind
you that all of our records are public ones, and that this is your office. We
are here to assist you on any question at any time. Should this report fail
to answer your need to know, remember that the information is probably
here on file, and it is available to you. Simply call upon us.

QUESTION NO. 1 --Property Classification for Tax Purposes
The proposed constitutional amendment would permit the legislature to establish as many as four different classes of real property for tax
purposes. Property in any one class would be required to be assessed,rated and taxed proportionately but property In different classes could be
assessed, rated and taxed differently. The legislature could grant reasonable exemptions. The constitution presently requires all property
(other than wild lands,forest lands,and certain agricultural and horticultural lands)to be assessed and rated equally at full value for tax purposes.

Town Clerk
The Special Town Meeting of October 30, 1978 was called to order by
Moderator,Thotnas C. Menton at 7:45 P.M.
Officer's return on the Warrant was read by Town Clerk, James E. Fahey,
Jr.
Number of Town Meeting Members present as reported by record of
checkers, Quinton B. Jones and Francis P. McGloin: 123.
Moderator, Thomas C. Menton recognized Selectman, Patrick B. Ford.
Mr. Ford proposed a committee of five (5) be appointed by the Moderator
for the purpose of creating a suitable memoriam to honor the memory of
Joseph Andrews. Mr. Menton accepted the motion and the meeting so
voted.
Chairwoman Diana Proctor of the Conservation Commission was
recognized for the purpose of making a committee report. The following
report was read and accepted.
TREE STUDY
At the Annual Town Meeting of 1976, an article submitted by the Depart-
ment of Public Works for a tree inventory - cost $13,000, was indefinitely
postponed. By the recommendation of the Finance Committee chairman
Robert Kelly and vote of Town Meeting the project was assigned to and
undertaken by the Conservation Commission. On July 24, 1978 the CETA
staff of the Watertown Conservation Commission completed a tree inven-
tory of the community. The inventory took two and one half months to
complete during which time close to 13,000 trees estimated valued at about
$19.5 million were studied, representing virtually all the trees located on
private and public property from the front of dwellings to the street.
Specific location, dimension, and health are some of the twenty-two
various codes which are recorded for each tree. All of the data obtained in
the inventory has been key punched and stored in the School Department's
computer system. Access programs are written which will provide print-
outs of specific categories such as tree species, dimensions, health, per-
centages, and any other combinations of the twenty-two codes. The poten-
tial uses of the Tree Inventory Data Base will save much time, effort, and
expense when tree planting or maintenance is being planned or carried
out. Through printout of various work needed codes, tree maintenance for
upcoming seasons can be planned for in advance, eliminating the costly
time consuming need for Tree Department personnel to drive around Town
and visually determine problem areas. Other codes, such as trunk condi-
tion, crown condition, and root system offer important information about
the general condition of a particular species, or point out patterns of
decline throughout the Town. With this information in hand, resources
59
can be carefully allocated so that more serious problems are dealt with
first and lesser problems tackled before they blow up to full scale pro-
portions. The Tree Inventory Data Base will also yield insight into the
condition of a particular species of tree at a given location in the com-
munity. To illustrate, a printout of all street side sugar maples in Water-
town will show vigor codes of Fair (F), Poor (P), or Dead (D). These
results very clearly show that sugar maples are not surviving along the
roadsides and should not be planted there.
The Conservation Commission staff has prepared a report which describes
a Tree Management Program for Watertown. It draws upon the Tree
Inventory Data Base and accepted tree management practices in making
positive recommendations about improving the tree management services
delivered by the Town. Adoption of the program will reflect in better use
of the tax dollars spent on tree management in Watertown. Upon its
completion, the program will be presented to the Town, the Board of
Selectmen, and the Tree Department. A copy of this program is also being
included in the National Urban Forestry Conference proceedings in Wash-
ington, D.C. this November 13th through the 17th. Any further informa-
tion regarding the Inventory or Management Program can be acquired by
contracting the Conservation Office during regular business hours.
Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Thomas J. McDermott made an
opening statement in which he briefly explained the purpose of the
meeting. He stated that .the meeting was primarily called to order to
present negotiated contracts to Town Meeting for their approval. He also
dwelt briefly on individual articles of the Warrant.
Meeting adjourned at 9:00 P.M. there being no further business to come
before the meeting.

the Chief or the Board of Selectmen if proper reasons are established
to sustain said change.
IV. INJURED LEAVE
a) "Injured Leave" shall mean -that period of time for which an
employee is entitled to receive compensation while incapacitated
for duty as a result of an injury sustained in the performance of
his duty without fault of his own.
b) When an employee finds it necessary to be absent from his duties
because of injured leave, he or his agent shall immediately notify
his superior officer or the Chief of the department of said absence.
No injured leave benefit shall accrue to an employee who fails to
give such notice. Notice under this section shall include the date,
time and place of said injury and the circumstances under which it
was incurred. A Notice of Injury form must be completed by the
employee or his superior officer each time a claim for injured leave
benefits is made.
c) An employee so absent from duty shall be entitled to examination
and treatment by a physician of his own choice.
d) The Chief of the department shall require the presentation of a
doctor's affidavit relating to injured leave pay on a form furnished
by the Chief of the department, in connection with any claim for
injured leave benefits. Said doctor's affidavit shall state the
diagnosis of the injury, the expected period of disability, and the
causal relationship between the medical condition and the injury.
e) The Chief of the department or the Board of Selectmen may
designate a physician to examine the employee once notice of injury
is given. The Chief and the Board of Selectmen shall have the
authority to designate a physician to conduct further examinations at
any time during the period of absence in order to determine whether
such incapacity continues to exist.
96
f) In accordance with Gen. Laws c. 41, section 111F, no injured leave
benefits shall be granted for any period after the employee has been
retired or pensioned in accordance with law or for any period after
a physician, designated by the Board of Selectmen, has determined
that such incapacity no longer exists.
g) The employee's failure to produce and file with the Chief of the
department an acceptable sworn affidavit will cause the omission of
the employee's name from the payroll after the third consecutive
work day of absence. If the claimed line of duty injury is of a
specialized nature of description, the Chief or the Board of Selectmen
may further require the sworn affidavit of a qualified specialist.
h) The Chief has the duty, in the first instance, to determine if the
claimed absence is to be charged as injured leave, sick leave or leave
with loss of pay. This written determination may be changed at a
later date by the Chief or the Board of Selectmen if proper reasons
are established to sustain said change.

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF FINANCE COMMITTEE
1977-78 has been a very active and interesting year for your Finance Committee. Faced with
the bleak prospects of a tremendous tax increase - the Finance Committee Sub-Committees met with
all the Department heads and other necessary persons and worked out solutions that would decrease
proposed budgets. This year has also been a difficult one for your Finance Committee. We have
at times felt frustrated and sometimes oven ineffective in dealing with the budgeting process.
But after all is concluded, there is still an underlying feeling of optimism that our town is on
the threshold of dramatically improving the management techniques and fiscal responsibility to
its citizens.
Arthur D. Little Co. was hired at the direction of Town Meeting to study our budgeting
process and in particular one department. The Selectmen selected the D. P. W. as the target
department, mainly because it was the largest department and also so diverse. The study will
probably be completed by Town Meeting, but not time enough to implement their findings for our
present budgets. I know I can speak for all our members that we are anxiously waiting for the
results, so we can examine and use their recommendations in our next years budgets.
The League of Cities and Towns also studied our Fire Department this past year and made some
very interesting observations. The study pointed out some discrepancies in the original layout
make up of the department which could eliminate eight personnel without endangering the safety
of our town. The study also brought out better utilization of our present man power and
equipment. These recommendations are incorporated in the Fire budget. My congratulations to
all involved.
The School Department's leadership, a zero base budget must be commended. Most other
departments fell in line and those that chose not to wore brought in by the Selectmen and
Finance Committee.

The Finance Committee is already planning for future avenues to reduce costs. They are
strongly in favor of the Grantsman as requested in Article 40 as a method of acquiring needed
monies which will help in lowering taxes. We plan to study many departments and hopefully
recommend cost saving methods of operations in 1970-79. We are recommending the adoption of
a Town legal Department, and the resulting effects of eliminating each department and board
from having their own liegal expense appropriation. ibis in itself will show an immediate
savings.
140
The following are some of the specific recommendations made to the committee by our Legal
Services sub committeo:
1. The Finance sub committee recommends to the Finance Committee that the Hoard of Selectmen
establish a five member screening committee, one of whom shall be a member of the Finance
Committee, to recommend at least three candidates to the Board of Selectmen.
2. The Finance sub committee recommends to the Finance Committee that the Board of Selectmen
publicly post the position of Town Counsel in order to achieve wide circulation.
3. The Finance sub committee recommends to the Finance Committee that during normal working
hours the Town Counsel and Assistant Town Counsel shall not'bo engaged in the private
practice of law.
4. The Finance sub committee recommends to the Finance Committee that both the Town Counsel
and Assistant Town Counsel be a member in good standing with the Massachusetts Bar.
Finally - it is the goal of your Finance Committee to insure continuation of efficient and
honest town government during the coming fiscal year and hopefully lay the foundation for the
continuation of these goals and ideals in future years. The Finance Committee thanks the
Selectmen, Town Officers, Boards and Department Heads for their continuing cooperation. Once
again a special thanks is extended to Jack Sheehan, our statistician who has patiently spent
many hours with this committee.
Respectfully au6mitted,
Robert W. Kelly,
Chairman

VI. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
The Town Counsel, along with the Personnel Assistant, Mr. Louis P.
Andrew, represented the Board of Selectmen in collective bargaining, with
the fire and police departments.
VH.. During the year, the Town Counsel served as the advisor to the
Board of Selectmen, being present at each of the weekly meetings of said
Board. In addition, the Town Counsel conferred with and rendered oral
and written opinions to the Board of Selectmen, School Committee and
Superintendent of Schools, Town Auditor, Town Treasurer, Tax Collector,
the Board of Health, Personnel Board, the Conservation Commission,
Library Director, Police Department, Fire Department, Town Clerk, Re-
tirement Board, Superintendent of Public Works, Building Inspector,
Health Inspector, Board of Appeals, Town Engineer, Housing Authority
and Town Moderator.
This office prepared and approved various contracts, rules and regulations,
liens and waivers for the several boards and departments of the Town. In
addition, this office handled the filing of necessary recordings in the Mid-
dlesex Registry of Deeds.
In closing, I wish to sincerely express my admiration and appreciation to
Mr. Herbert 0. Berry, former Town Counsel. Without his support and
recommendations, the concept of this full time legal department, first
proposed by the late Philip Grogan,former Town Counsel and Town Clerk,
would not have been realized for some time. In addition, the members of
the Finance Committee, especially Russell Morgan, Marion Roberts,
Demos Zevitas and Thomas Roche are to be commended for the long
hours and comprehensive effort they generated toward providing their
Committee with the data and statistics necessary to approve this new
department.
I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen for their vote of confidence
in appointing me as the first full-time Town Counsel for Watertown.
Lastly, I wish to express my thanks to the staff of this office, the staff of
the Selectmen's office and all the Boards, Officers, Committees and Town
employees for their support, cooperation and assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
Gary S. Brackett
Town Counsel,
Town of Watertown

REPORT OF TOWN TREASURER
I hereby submit my report for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1977 and
ending June 30, 1978. 1 am proud to report that on March of 1978 I was
elected President of the Massachusetts Collectors and Treasurers
Association.
BORROWING—SHORT TERM
Total short-term borrowing in anticipation of taxes was $3,000,000. The
borrowing rates were as low as 1.99%, reflecting the Town's good rating
and good relations with the banking community.
I also borrowed $550,000. short-term in anticipation of Bond Issues. This
amount will be repaid when the long-term bonds are issued.
BORROWING—LONG TERM
The 1978 Town Meeting authorized an additional borrowing of$2,350,000.
for the High School Addition. The new projected figure for the addition
and renovation to the High School is now $7,350,000. A few years ago we
could have built a brand new High School for $10,000,000. The target
date for borrowing long-term is November 15, 1978. At that time, the
Town will borrow $8,110,000. to cover all authorized borrowings. Added
to the $5,100,000. (present debt) we will have the highest debt in the
history of the Town.
The Town should take a position of no further borrowing at this time.
SPECIAL RECEIPTS
Revenue Sharing has been extended. However, Anti-Recession funds
appropriation has expired and prospect of continuation of this fund is not
probable.
In Fiscal Year 1978 we received:
Revenue Sharing $ 1,045,669.00
Anti-Recession 165,139.00
CHERRY SHEETS
Promises of increased state allotment of funds proved to be a fizzle. When
added expenses were deducted from increased aid, the net amount was
$14,000. - hardly a windfall. Again an audit of 766 Funds disallowed
$506,000. -another severe financial blow.
187
INVESTMENTS
I continue to invest monies not needed for immediate disbursements in
prudent and highest-producing investments. The Town earned
$194,705.00 interest on the various funds. This amount represents
approximately$2.00 on the Tax rate and over twice the cost of running the
Treasurer's office.
PARKING METERS
Construction of parking lots with Federal Funds is now projected for the
Spring of 1979.
OFFICE REPORT
In a continuing effort to a more efficient operation of our office procedures,
we hope to have the Retirement Payroll on the computer in August.
Hopefully, we will have an encumbrance accounting system including
purchasing and billing on the computer in this fiscal year.
I have nothing but praise for my office staff for their efficiency and dedica-
tion to their work.

TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
TOWN OF WATERTOWN
Watertown, Massachusetts
We have examined the financial statements of the vari-
ous funds of the Town of Watertown for the year ended June 30,
1978 as listed in the foregoing table of contents. Our exami-
nation was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the account-
ing records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
Inasmuch as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not
require the capitalization of fixed assets, the Town has not
maintained complete historical cost records of its general
•fixed assets. Accordingly, a statement of general fixed
assets, required by generally accepted accounting principles,
is not included in the financial statements.
As discussed in Note B, the Town records pension ex-
pense for retired employees on the pay-as-you-go method in ac-
cordance with the Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
However, generally accepted accounting principles require use
199
of a method which considers, at a minimum, normal cost, inter-
est on unfunded prior service cost and amortization of unfunded
vested benefits for participants in the pension plans.
In our opinion, except for the effect on the financial
statements of the matter described in the preceding paragraph,
the financial statements listed in the aforementioned table of
contents present fairly the financial position of the various
funds of the Town of Watertown at June 30, 1978, and the re—
sults of its operations and changes in the fund balances for
the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted ac-
counting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of
the preceding year.

TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
TOWN OF WATERTOWN
Watertown, Massachusetts September 1, 1978
We have examined the financial statements of the vari-
ous funds and account groups of the Town of Watertown, Massa-
chusetts for the year ended June 30, 1978, and have issued our
report thereon dated September 1, 1978. Our examination was
made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records
and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances.
In connection with our examination, we also (1) per-
formed tests of compliance with the Revenue Sharing and Anti-
recession Fiscal Assistance Acts and regulations as required by
Sections II.C.3. and III.C.3. of the Audit Guide and Standards
for Revenue Sharing and Antirecession Fiscal Assistance Fund
Recipients (Guide) issued by the Office of Revenue Sharing,
U.S. Department of the Treasury, and (2) compared the data on
Bureau of Census Form RS-8 with the audited records of the Town
of Watertown, Massachusetts as required by Sections II.C.4. of
the "Guide."
Based on these procedures, we noted no instance of
noncompliance with the regulations and no material differences
between the data on Bureau of Census Form RS-8 and the records
of the Town of Watertown, Massachusetts for the year ended
June 30, 1978.

TOWN OF WATERTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1978
A. Summary of Siqnificant Accountinq Policies:
The Town maintains itq accounting records in accordance
with practices prescribed by the Uniform Municipal Account-
ing System (Uniform System) promulgated by the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts Department of Revenue. The accounting re-
quirements of this system differ in some respects from ac-
counting practices prescribed by generally accepted ac-
counting principles. The principal differences relate to
the accounting for acquisition of fixed assets and pension
costs as described hereinafter. The following is a summary
of significant accounting policies:
1. Description of funds -
Financial transactions of the Town are recorded in the
following accounts:
General Fund - used to account for all transactions
not properly accounted for in other funds.
Special Revenue Fund - used to account for proceeds
of specific revenue sources restricted by law or ad-
ministrative action for specified purposes (other
than those sources relative to special projects,
special assessments or trusts) .
Special Projects Fund - used to account for financial
resources consisting generally of debt proceeds, seg-
regated for the acquisition of capital assets or com-
pletion of major special projects (other than those
financed by special assessments) .
Deferred Revenue Fund - used to account for special
assessment revenue due in future years.
Bond Indebtedness Fund - used to account for all
long-term debt of the Town to be repaid in future
years.
Trust and Agency Fund - used to account for assets
held by the Town as trustee or agent for individuals,
private organizations or other governmental units.
2. Basis of accounting -
The accompanying financial statements have been pre-
pared principally on the modified accrual basis of ac-
counting which recognizes revenue when measurable and
available and expenses when incurred.
Revenue recognition = real estate and personal prop-
erty tax levies are recorded as revenue when com-
mitted for collection. A reserve for estimated
20
abatements and exemptions referred to as an overlay
reserve is provided for in the levy. No provision is
made for other possible uncollectible taxes. All
other revenues are recognized when cash is received.
Accounts receivable balances, other than net real
estate and personal property taxes receivable, are
fully offset by a reserve entitled "Revenue Reserved
Until Collected."
Expenses - expenditures are recorded throughout the
year on the basis of cash disbursements. In addi-
tion, as required by the Massachusetts General Laws,
disbursements made during the fifteen days following
the close of each fiscal year which are related to
the prior year are recorded as if paid on June 30.
Purchase orders outstanding on June 30 related to
revenue appropriations (i.e. , appropriations for or-
dinary current expenses) are recorded as encumbrances
outstanding at that date.
3. Inventories -
Inventories are considered to be expenditures at the
time of purchase.
4. Fixed assets -
Disbursements related to the acquisition of fixed as-
sets are considered expenses in the year payments are
made. The Uniform System does not provide for capital-
izing such expenditures.
5. Appropriated fund balances -
The appropriated portion of fund. balances .consists
principally of the balance of nonrevenue appropriations
(i.e. , appropriations for capital expenditures financed
by loan proceeds) which are carried forward until com-
pletion of the authorized project, and the amount of
surplus funds authorized by the annual Town Meeting to
be used in financing the succeeding years operating
budget.
6. Bonds and loans authorized, and loans authorized and
unissued -
The Uniform System provides that long-term financing
authorized by Town Meeting be recorded in the General
Fund. When actually issued, such debt is transferred
to the 'Bond Indebtedness Fund. Principal and interest
paid on long-term debt is recorded in the General
Fund. At June 30, 1978 bonds and loans authorized, but
unissued, amounted to $10,485,020.00.
Pension Plan:
Substantially all employees of the Town of Watertown, ex-
cept teachers and administrators under contract, employed
by the School Department, participate in the Town of Water-
town Contributory Retirement System as established on
July 1, '1937 under Chapter 32, Sections 1 through 28, of
208
the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Un-
der this plan, the participants contribute a certain statu-
tory percentage of their regular compensation annually,
which amount is determined by their date of employment.
Benefits paid under the plan, referred to as "retirement
allowances" and/or "survivors' benefits," include both 'an
annuity portion, funded principally from amounts contribu-
ted by the participants, and a pension portion funded by
the Town of Watertown on a "pay-as-you-go" basis. Annual
contributions by the Town for the pension portion of the
retirement allowance dpe in the fiscal year are determined
by the Division of Insurance based on data submitted by the
Board of Retirement of the Town with respect to actual re-
tirees due benefits for the ensuing year. The most recent
actuarial valuation was prepared by the Massachusetts Re-
tirement Law Commission as of January 1, 1976. At that
date, the actuarially computed value of vested benefits
over the total plan assets was $27,946,000.00, and the an-
nual amount needed to fund such benefit costs over a forty-
year amortization period was $2,055,000.00.
In addition, as promulgated principally by Chapter 32, Sec-
tions 29 through 101, of the General Laws of the Common-
wealth of Massachusetts, the Town has a noncontributory re-
tirement plan which provides on a "pay-as-you-go" basis for
employees who predated the above plan. Each such qualified
retired employee receives retirement benefits up to 72% of
his highest annual salary. No actuarial valuation has been
prepared for this plan.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the annual
minimum provisions for pension cost should include normal
costs, interest on unfunded past service cost liability and
amortization of unfunded vested benefits for participants
in the pension plan. There is no actuarial valuation of
the Town's pension plan available as of June 30, 1978 which
would permit an estimation of the unfunded past service
cost liability, the future pension costs of current partic-
ipants in the plan and the annual amounts needed to fund
such costs.
Teachers and administrators under contract employed by the
School Department participate in a contributory retirement
plan administered by the Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement
Board. The Town does not contribute to this Plan.
C. Other Receivables:
The principal amounts classified as other receivables in
the General Fund at June 30, 1978 include the following:
Motor vehicle excise taxes $272,112
Water revenue 79,960
Tax titles and tax possessions 246,155
Other 6,551
$604,778
As required by state statute, all of the receivables are
fully reserved until collected.
209
D. Fund Balances:
The fund balance in the General Fund financial statements
is maintained by the Town in accordance with Massachusetts
statutes and/or requirements prescribed by the State
Department of Revenue. At June 30, 1978, the components of
the fund balance were as follows:
Appropriated:
Continued appropriations $1,324 ,955.67
Surplus revenue appropriated for
fiscal 1979 budget 175,000.00
Total appropriated fund balance 1,499,955.67
Unappropriated:
Surplus revenue 1,100,937 .03
State and county charges - net ( 177,043.11)
Total unappropriated fund balance 923,893.92
General Fund balance $2,423,849.59
E. Litigation:
Various legal actions and other claims are pending against the
Town. The most significant actions relate to cases filed by
certain taxpayers with the State Appellate Tax Board. These
actions in effect appeal decisions made by the Town's Board of
Assessors denying the taxpayers' request for abatement of a por-
tion of their real estate or personal property taxes assessed
for fiscal years 1976, 1977, and 1978. The Town's total esti-
mated liability, should the position of the taxpayers be sus-
tained, would amount to approximately $1,700,000. At June 30,
1978 the balance in the Town's overlay reserve, an amount pro-
vided in the law for such abatements, amounted to approximately
$640,000. The Town believes its valuation and assessment proce-
dures comply with accepted practices utilized by other commun-
ities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; however, neither
Town Counsel nor the Board of Assessors are able to predict the
ultimate outcome of these proceedings. In accordance with
Massachusetts Municipal practices, the amount of any abatement
issued in excess of the overlay reserve would be raised in a
subsequent year's tax levy. Although the amount of any liabil-
ity, if any, at June 30, 1978 cannot be ascertained, management
believes any resulting liability should not materially affect
the financial position of the Town at June 30, 1978.
F. Lonq-term Debt:
State law permits a town, under the provisions of Chapter 44,
Section 10, to authorize indebtedness up to a limit of 58 of its
equalized valuation. Debt issued in accordance with this Sec-
tion of the Law is designated as being "inside the debt limit."
In addition, however, a town may authorize debt in excess of
that limit for specific purposes. Such debt, when issued, is
designated as being "outside the debt limit." Details related
to the Town's outstanding indebtedness at June 30, 1978 and its
debt service requirements follow:

G . Subsequent Event :
N
w In November 1978 the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
issued a ruling affirming an order to enforce terms of an
arbitration award made against the Town in connection with .
its collective bargaining agreement with Watertown Fire-
fighters , Local 1347 , I .A. F . F . , (AFL-CIO) for fiscal years
1978 and 1977 . Under provisions of that award the Town ' s
total liability for retroactive pay adjustments and inter-
est would amount to approximately $525 , 000 . Since under
Massachusetts Municipal practices , such amounts would be
raised in a following year ' s tax levy , management believes
that ultimate payment of this liability will have no mate-
rial affect on the financial position of the Town at June
30 , 1978 .
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
The Board of Health respectfully submits the report of the Health Officer
and Director as the Annual Report of the Health Department for the fiscal

The Board of Health, through the Director, continues to confer with various
providers of health and/or social care or services at St. Elizabeth's Hos-
pital, the American Cancer Society, the Watertown Housing Authority,
The Boston Guild for the Hard of Hearing, The Massachusetts Society for
the Prevention of Blindness and the Health Planning Council for Greater

Citizen group. For the 9th consecutive year we have held on site clinic
service at the senior citizens housing development (Woodland Towers).
During the year we held'several Glaucoma Detection Clinics. This clinic
will be held on a continuing basis.

The Board of Health wants at this time to express its pleasure and pride
in the competent, cooperative and efficient manner in which its staff has
carried out this additional burden.
The Board wishes, also, to join the Acting Health Agent in extending
thanks and appreciation to the Health Department personnel under its
jurisdiction for the total cooperation extended during the past year.
We wish to extend our gratitude to the various other departments, elected
Town officials, both of Watertown and other communities, and voluntary

chusetts Department of Public Health. This law specifies that no child
may attend any school who has not complied with full immunization for
Tetanus-diptheria, Polio and Measles. This department assisted in the
immunization of 1,071 pupils in Watertown. We wish to thank Dr. Grace
Kaczynski of Pupil Personnel and the School Department Nurses for their
cooperation in this program.
We also supervised nursing students from Fitchburg State College, for one
semester, while they were doing their community health nursing electives.

EAST MIDDLESEX MOSQUITO CONTROL
WATERTOWN— 1978
Mosquito control efforts for Watertown during 1978 consisted of sur-
veillance and spraying of small mosquito breeding areas and catch basin
larviciding. Back pack equipment was used for the larviciding with eleven
and one-quarter(111/4)gallons of material being applied.
Catch basin spraying began in June with three thorough coverages com-
pleted by the middle of September. There was 423 gallons of material
used for this phase of our larviciding.
There was a call from a resident of Watertown during June of 1978. This
involved our larviciding program though. No ultra-low-volume adul-
ticiding was needed in Waterown this year although the project does have
the spray trucks available any night between June and September.
There was no stream cleaning done during 1978 although some is planned
for 1979 along with the catch basin and swamp larviciding as usual.

INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
As Inspector of Animals for the Town of Watertown, I received from the
Board of Health, 67 known dog bites, and 30 unknown dog bites.
These bites required 206 house calls which were done with my own private
car.
The work for the year included the recording and releasing of all the bites
also the weekly report to the Division of Animal Health in Boston.
This work was done by my personal secretary.
224
One Saturday afternoon each year, I run an annual rabies clinic.
I answer numerous telephone calls regarding the public aspects of animal
inspections,bites, and stray animals.
Sincerely,
W. E. Johansen,D.V.M.

The Watertown Multi-Service Center, located on the grounds of the
historic Arsenal and responsible for coordinating and providing human
services to the residents of Watertown, was involved in many new activities
this year as well as maintaining its already established services. In all of
its components, the Center provided service to over 1800 people, some of "
whom will be anonymously sketched out for you in this report. The Center
believes that through this personal contact, the Town will better under-
stand the urgent need for Social Services and the unique role it has played
in providing those services to the Community.
Presently, the Center offers the following direct services:
THE
COUI\JSELI .QG7
COMPONENT
The Counseling Component of the Center, in its coordinating and planning
role, brings together professionals from other area agencies to provide
short term,family oriented help to individuals,families and groups. These
people are experiencing a range of problems from marital conflicts and
parent-child concerns to drug and alcohol abuse.
For instance, a middle aged man who finds himself talking with friends
about problems in his marriage, comes to the Center on the advice of a
friend. During an intake evaluation it becomes clear that his wife's drink-
ing is the actual problem that is affecting him and their children. Counsel-
ing in this case would center on ways to help the wife take responsibility
for her drinking and the father to distance himself and the children from
the consequences of the drinking problem. Ways of approaching the wife
to seek treatment herselfwould also be discussed.
In another situation a woman might call concerned because her husband
had just thrown their 16 year old son out of the house following a series of
minor, yet annoying, disagreements. The mother's concern is for both her
husband and the child and, since she's very much in the middle, she does
not know what to do next. After a few individual meetings with the mother,
family sessions would be set up which would focus on opening up tangled
lines of communication in the family and easing the tension between father
and son. This is the kind of situation in which the counselor works with the
family to develop better ways to talk out problems with each other, so that
perhaps next time they can do it on their own.
229
The Center now houses both an Al-Anon and AA group and provides an
alcohol counselor from Mt. Auburn Hospital; a grant was written for child
abuse services and, although not funded, we now have ongoing con-
sultation and direct counseling services in the Community from Boston
Childrens' Services; professional trainings have been provided to most
community agencies and have concerned such topics as: Adolescent
sexuality, moral development, ethnicity and its implications for service,
school phobics, and death and dying.
The Center has also continued its series of 8-10 week educational groups
around parenting, separation and divorce, assertive training and the
special concerns of single parents. New this year have been the first CPR
groups open to the community and a Stop Smoking group for those who
wish to give it a try! * -� FORJvLATION

RE .FEPd:RAL
SERVICE
Over 814 individual people received specific resource help for services not
directly provided by the Multi-Service Center. Often this service only
involves giving someone the name of an agency, or a contact person and
telephone number out of our Directory of more than 300 Boston Area
Agencies. It is becoming more frequent, however, that a person's needs
are more complicated than just a telephone call. Volunteers and com-
munity "advocates" who are trained to work directly with people needing
short-term support then give concrete help in obtaining services. Types
of problems the advocates work on involve: welfare and food stamps
appeals, immigration issues, tenants' rights and legal aid for a variety of
concerns.
Some of these concerns are fairly common. We receive a great many
calls from older women going through a separation or divorce. These are
women who have been married and raised a family for a great many years,
now quite suddenly alone, with one or two dependent children. They need
to begin thinking about going back to work, getting financial help, and
child care. The shock of having one's life change so abruptly after so many
years can be frightening and confusing. Personal support is desperately
230
needed to get through the transition, and advocates can help by listening to
people talk, identifying resources, and supporting a woman's move to an
independent life.
Other concerns are less common and more complicated. A young Lebanese
couple, for instance, who has recently moved to this country, find them-
selves with language problems, financial difficulties and immigration
concerns. The long process of contacting agencies, looking for financial
and educational resources, and working with local churches to provide
emotional and social support in a very isolating and foreign environment,
begins. It is hard to know where to start in cases like this. Many resources
cannot help for one reason or another, job training is difficult to get if
there's a language barrier, and the immigration laws are overwhelming
and confusing. In instances like this an advocate can help interpret poli-
cies, ferret out inappropriate resources, and put the couple in contact with
people like themselves for cultural and social support.
Along with providing help to individual people, two programs of special
interest to the Women's Community were planned and implemented this
year. A Family Planning Clinic, run in conjunction with the Watertown
Medical Associates, was developed to serve those women who need low-
cost, accessible family planning services. A Counselor from the Center
talks with each woman about her specific concerns and needs for further
resources, while the Medical Associates provide physical examinations,
testing and contraception.
Planning began in January to sponsor, with a group of local volunteers,
what we hope is the first of an Annual Women's Fair. Held at the
Unitarian Church in May, over 25 women's organizations came together to
display crafts, provide information and perform cultural activities. Over
150 women attended the day long event and shared their interests and
concerns with other women in the community.

YOUTH
PROGRAM
The Youth Program this year continued to grow and expand its services to
troubled adolescents in Watertown. The Staff helps youth become in-
volved in the learning of life skills such as planning and decision-making,
and facilitates their becoming more involved in their own lives.
This past summer a group of eight boys took on the task of planning a
town-wide dance for youth in Watertown. With the help of the staff, their
responsibility was to find a place for the dance, research various types of
entertainment, hire police to be on the grounds, extensive publicity,
managing of finances, and coordination of refreshments.
The boys spent a month of hard work doing what they felt needed to be
done. It enabled them to work together as a group, and gave them an
opportunity to learn what extent of planning, organizing and commit-
ment goes into a task of this sort. The boys had seven planning meetings
as well as individual assigned tasks in the coordination of the dance,
including meetings with restaurant managers, police department, and
school personnel.
Another example of a group project with youth involved eight 15 year old
girls. This particular peer group planned a 3 day camping trip to Stowe,
Vermont, during August. The planning process involved a series of
meetings during which the girls made decisions on where they wanted to
go, researched activities and facilities in that area, mapped out a route of
travel, prepared an overall trip budget, organized a 3 day menu and
shopped to purchase the supplies. Working on these specific tasks re-
quired the girls to make group decisions, assume leadership roles, follow
through on responsibilities to each other and the group plan, and to learn
some basic skills such as budget planning, map reading and organization
of activities.
During the course of the trip it was the girls' responsibility to speak to
the park rangers, confirm reservations, plan and prepare meals, negotiate
for discount fees and plan additional activities, as needed.
232
In addition, spending this three day period with the two Staff people on an
informal basis enabled the girls to share the experiences with the Staff and
build some trusting relationships. The Staff facilitated discussions on
such topics as: use of drugs, how to deal with conflicts among the group
members, job and education plans and personal problems with family or
police.
Of special interest this year has been the youths' lobbying for state funds,
the appointment of one youth to the Governor's Commission on Unemploy-
ment, the hiring of two new staff people and the participation of three
youths in grant writing to, and site visits from, private foundations for
transportation funding. This latter effort was rewarded with their finally
bringing together$2,500.00 towards the purchase of a new van.
Youth Program Staff have also been involved in developing overall re-
sources for youth in need of services. The Center bas been particularly
involved in Project Assist, a group of area people concerned with the
issue of teen-age suicide, and the area Subcommitte on Emergency Shelter
Care. This latter committee has been working very hard to provide short-
term, overnight and longer, shelter for those youths needing emergency
housing and/or a foster care placement because they can no longer live
at home.
ELDER
/
' F VICE5
This year, with a grant from the Department of Elder Affairs, the Center
developed services to the elderly community in Watertown. With the help
of one full and one half time staff persons, a core of volunteer "visitors"
was trained and put to work helping isolated, older adults have a regular
contact with another person.
One older woman, for instance, was suffering from glaucoma, a progres-
sively debilitating eye disease, and was having a very difficult time getting
around. Her one daughter, who lives about an hour away, has multiple
sclerosis and is unable to visit very often. Since the woman's neighborhood
was experiencing rapid turnover, a lot of friends had also moved away.
233
A visitor for the woman meant someone to help her shop and cook, a
friendly listener and a person to check on her in case she fell and was
unable to get help.
� w
w
c
Specialized resource help, information and referral, were also developed
for those elderly in need of services. A Staff person visited various elderly
congregation sites in the Community and was able to provide immediate,
accessible and personal help for whatever problems arose.
A Resource Handbook for the Elderly, as well as a Meals on Wheels
Program for those people not able to get out of their homes for meals,
were put in motion and should be completed this year.
Since our funding for this program ends in November, 1978, the Center
will focus on maintaining its services to the Elderly and will advocate
programs and services through other Community groups and agencies
specifically concerned with the needs of the older community.

Or
Many of the programs previously mentioned—- Advocacy, Women's pro-
grams, the Elderly and a Big Brother/Big Sister Program under the
Counseling Component - use volunteers extensively to provide a broad
range of services to the Community. Aside from services, however,
volunteers also add a special dimension to the Center. Being a Com-
munity based agency means trying to be as close and accessible to the
234
people of Watertown as possible. Volunteers help us do this through their
input, their ideas and their generous giving of time and energy to other
people.
A group of volunteers not often mentioned and less visible than those
providing direct service is that made up of professional people sharing
their skills and resources with the Center and its Community. Consultants
from McLean and Metropolitan State Hospital and Beaverbrook Child
Guidance Clinic provide ongoing help to our professional staff, and re-
source people from a variety of other agencies share their skills with
people working in the Watertown Community at our monthly training pro-
grams. To all our volunteers we say THANK YOU!
This report can only highlight services at the Center this past year. The
less tangible efforts of coordinating our resources with other local and
area wide agencies goes on quietly but consistently so that the Town of
Watertown can continue to provide a unique range of services to its
residents.

RECREATION DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS 1978
The winter produced a basketball program that included play for boys and
girls along with men and women. Other adult programs were volleyball,
yoga, disco dancing, tennis instructions and golf instructions. The Friday
night and Saturday programs for the mentally handicapped continue to be,
very successful.
With the arrival of spring came softball, baseball, baton twirling, bowling
gymnastics, tennis and gym programs for the youth of Watertown. The
students in our Saturday Day Camp competed in the County and State
Special Olympics with much success.
One of the new things taking place on the playgrounds this summer was
the Dragan Tale Storytellers. They appeared at each playground and told
different tales to the children. The children enjoyed doing many new
arts and crafts projects, some of the favorites being plaster molds, yard
dolls, paper people, beads, weaving and wall hangings. All playgrounds
participated in the popular trips to Lincoln Park, Wallex. The older girls
from Bemis and Cunniff had a good time at Faneuil Market, and the
Charles River girls took a trip to the Longfellow House in Cambridge.
Also,trips to the Watertown pool and movies were enjoyed by the children.
On Thursday, August 24th, an Arts & Crafts show was held at Saltonstall
Park. All group projects received a ribbon judged on different categories.
Arlington Park took it all by winning first place for the overall best.
The summer tennis program schedule ran as follows: every morning
from 9 - 11 a.m. a practice was held for boys and girls participating in the
Watertown Tennis Team. This team travelled to surrounding towns giving
our boys and girls the opportunity to play others of different ability. After
tennis practice, lessons would begin and go until 4 p.m. Time slots were
made in order to encompass all different age groups and abilities. The
program ran very smoothly and will be continued in the summers to come.

Our swimming program went very well at the MDC Pool and again this
year we offered lessons to adults. Children's Theatre under the name of
Watertown Strolling Players prepared a musical variety show and per-
formed at Camp Pequossette, Home for the Elderly, Emerson Nursing
Home, Charlesgate Manor Nursing Home, Watertown Library, Hosmer
School and for the program for the mentally handicapped. The summer
basketball and touch-football programs were very successful. Enrollment
at Camp Pequossette was down this year, however, $6,427.50 was turned
into the Town Treasurer from this program. Camp Yankee Doodle was
held at the High School and trips were taken to Belmont every Wednesday
for swimming; trips to Riverside Bowling Alleys each week; a trip was
taken to Benson Wild Animal Farm; to Revere Beach, Plymouth, the Swan
Boats and to a concert in Boston. A new track program was more suc-
cessful during the school year than during the summer months. Again
this year our department paid the umpire salaries for the Babe Ruth,
Little League and Triple A Leagues. These programs ran very well.
The fall season included flag-tag football, soccer, baton twirling, basket-
ball, bowling programs. The department also ran a Friday night social and
a Saturday day camp for the mentally handicapped citizens of Watertown.
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.
1) Total development of a recreation center would help in the expan-
sion of our programs. The center should include indoor and outdoor
facilities and would be a great addition to the town on the Arsenal
Site. The outdoor facilities should include basketball and tennis
courts, ball fields, picnic areas. The indoor facility should 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 programs.
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 and crafts and cultural programs expanded.
6) The budget appropriated for FY'75 amounted to $124,482.60 and
the budget for FY'79 amounted to $125,218.00. The budget
increase over the five year period has been less than 1%. The
Recreation Commission has attempted to increase its budget over
this period to meet the recreational needs of the people of Water-
town but has not received the support of the Board of Selectmen
242
or the Finance Committee. The Recreation Commission is aware
that due to spiraling costs and no increased amounts in our budget
that there is no way recreation programs can be expanded. This is
a matter of deep concern to the Commission and Director who feel
the recreational needs of the citizens of Watertown are not being
fulfilled.
VETERANS' SERVICES
During the period beginning July 1, 1977 and ending December 31, 1978,
the department continued to operate effectively with the result that
balances of all unexpended appropriations were returned to the Town, the
same as in past years.
The State Mandated programs and services continue to take up a major
portion of our time, along with our general routine work including com-
pletion of applications for aid with follow up investigations. We have a
super investigative procedure whereby all cases are carefully checked
prior to granting financial assistance which also assures discovery of any
fraudulent claims, yet insures payment of benefits to applicants 'who
legitimately qualify.
During November and December an unusually large volume of V.A.
Income Questionnaire cards had to be completed, another State Mandated
requirement. These forms had to be filed prior to January 1st to prevent
termination of benefits.
Reducing expenditures over the past seven years involved a great deal of
expertise and although a time consuming task, you must realize by now, it
was well worth the unprecedented achievement.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank your Honorable Board and
all those who cooperated with the department.
Respectfully submitted,
Dorothy R. Najarian

It is with a great deal of pride and satisfaction that we once again submit
our annual report.
We are pleased to state that this appears to be our finest year financially
with a net profit for the first seven months of $20,056.40. For the period
beginning July 1, 1978 thru January 31, 1979 we received $93,174.29 from
all sources, and deposited this to the town accounts. Our expenses for the
like period were$73,117.89. Again this year the electricity to run our plant
is up slightly.
All of our programs are running well and we have been successful in
obtaining additional business for the marginal hours from Newton, Wal-
tham and other surrounding towns. This additional business has increased
our revenue substantially.
This past summer we were able to complete our summer maintainence
program with the help of CETA personnel, and open in the fall with our
building in first class condition. We do have a problem with our ceiling
over the ice surface, the paint is peeling and dropping down on the ice.
We are hopeful that this situation may be corrected this coming summer.
We are still interested in obtaining summer revenue and any suggestions
from the public would be greatly appreciated.

Herewith is respectfully submitted the report of the Workmen's Compen-
sation Agent for the period from July 1, 1978 to December 31, 1978.
The majority of the cases reported in this period required just medical

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN
1978 witnessed another successful year of programming and services at the
Watertown Free Public Library. The library continued many of its fine
services and attracted new monies and services via CETA. projects, LSCA
title grants, and other federal grants.
In cooperation with the Mount Auburn Hospital the library participated in
the Community Health Information Network to improve consumer health
information, as well as installing a Tel-Med line whereby patrons may call
to learn basic information about specific medical problems. In addition,
two other grants, the Model Deaf Services Grant and the Visual Resources
Grant were continued for the second year in order that the library may
serve those with auditory or visual handicaps. Under the former, a "TV
phone" is available to those hearing-impaired patrons who require a print
message to process incoming and outgoing calls. Through the latter grant
large print/Braille publications are available for the visually handicapped.
The library was pleased to be recognized by the Commonwealth as
recipient of a LSCA grant, "Improved Service to the Armenian Com-
munity." Under this grant the library was able to purchase books in
Armenian and English; records of Armenian music; and other materials
and to improve new services to the Armenian community, such as story
hours in Armenian, and Armenian lace-making classes.
Through CETA projects the library has been able to provide a children's
storyteller program and film and theatre workshops, as well as to enjoy the
253
A • ti.
i
Shnorig Shahanian, Armenia • •
services of two indexers of historic materials and a slide-tape specialist.
Also, the painting of the interior and exterior of the North Branch Library
and parts of the interior of the Main Library were accomplished through
CETA. Currently, the library has the services of a conservation technician,
a graphic artist, and teachers in film and photography. The trustees are
grateful to the Department of Public•Works for their assistance in pointing
the bricks at the East Branch.
Through the efforts of the library staff and various civic groups two hand-
books were re-printed this year: the Senior Citizens' Handbook and the
sixth edition of the Child Care Resource Handbook. Both are available
at the libraries.
This past summer former and present trustees, staff, and library patrons
honored Miss Mary McNally on her retirement after thirty-seven years of
dedicated service to the town as Assistant Director and Head of Adult
Services and Reference. Mary will long be remembered for her warmth,
patience, and meticulous attention to duty, all indicative of her character
and devotion to the town.
In August of 1978 the library noted with sadness the death of former
Trustee and friend of the library, Frank H. McGowan whose commitment
to the cultural enrichment of our town never wavered.
The Watertown Free Public Library was honored this year as the recipient
of the John Cotton Dana Public Relations Award from the American
Library Association. Also, the library received an Honorable Mention in
the Massachusetts Library Association Public Relations Contest for our
slide-tape presentation, "The Library."
In May at the Annual Town Meeting, the members voted to appropriate
$60,000 to develop plans for an addition to the Main Library which, if
funded through federal money, would alleviate the overcrowding and lack
of meeting facilities. The trustees have hired an architectural firm and
presently are working with them.
I should like to thank the town and the Trustees for giving me the op-
portunity to serve as a Trustee, and as Chairman of the Board again this
year, and to commend the staff for the fine services offered to the town, as
well as their energy, enthusiasm, and creativity. The continuing support of
the Friends of the Watertown Free Public Library is appreciated by the
Board, particularly their Annual Book Fair, held last year in May, which in
turn helps to fund small special projects at the library.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
As another year--the 110th in the history of the Watertown Public Library
-- draws to a close, it is my duty to inform the trustees and citizens of
Watertown as to the progress and-performance of their library. Since our
last annual report covered events to the end of December 1977, this
account will take us to the end of 1978. As the new budget year looms, I
must admit that I present this report with mixed feelings. It is a fact that
we are not running an inexpensive library; the cost of operating a Main
Library and two full-service branches, plus library service to young chil-
dren at the West Branch/Browne School Library, is now in excess of
$600,000 a year. Salaries represent over 75% of our operating expense,
and the maintenance of three elderly buildings is costly. I can only say that
during the past year the trustees and the administration of this library
have done everything they could to give the town its money's worth and
more.
1978 saw a number of achievements of which the town can be proud. At
the annual town meeting in May, the town appropriated $60,000 for the
trustees to obtain working drawings for an addition to the Main Library.
Needed are suitable meeting rooms for the many activities that take place
at the library; energy-efficient heating, lighting and ventilating systems;
audio-visual facilities; and the implementation of existing codes for use of
public buildings by the handicapped, including public toilets, an elevator,
and ramps. We hope that federal funds will become available for this
project in the near future.
In an effort to improve services to all citizens, the library obtained a grant
under the Library Services and Construction Act, Title I to improve services
to the deaf and one for service to visually handicapped persons; an LSCA
grant to improve library service to the Armenian community; and a grant
from the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities to present a
series of readings by poets and writers in cooperation with Ploughshares,
Inc., a literary magazine published in Cambridge and edited by DeWitt
Henry of Watertown. Response to these efforts has been gratifying.
524 persons attended the Authors' Series, coming not only from Water-
town but from all over the metropolitan area. The Deaf Services Grant saw
the installation of the telephone which can be used in conjunction with a
typewriter and television monitor to communicate messages visually for
those who cannot hear. Large-type books, enlargers for magnifying
ordinary small type, and Braille markings have facilitated the use of the
library by partially-sighted persons of whom there are an increasing
number in our community. Guided by an Advisory Council, the Armenian
Project has presented special programs and services as well as enabling
us to acquire new materials for those who read Armenian or who wish to
learn more about Armenian history, language and culture. Nancy Agha-

zarian, Young Adult Librarian, took over the direction of this project
from Janet Jennings, who resigned in October. With the invaluable help
of Arsine Aharonian, who was hired as bi-lingual library technician, Ms.
Aghazarian continued to purchase books, periodicals, and recordings, and
has presented workshops in Armenian lace-making by Alice Kasparian;
Armenian story-hours by Mrs. Shnorhig Shahinian and two series of
Armenian dance lessons by Gary and Susan Lind-Sinanian. Members of
the Advisory Council are Edna Bogosian, Drtad B. Boyajian, Dr. E.B.
Chrakian, Vicky Dilsizian, Ruth Harutunian, Zevart Hollisian, Andrew
Kzirian, Gary and Susan Lind-Sinanian, Helene Sarkisian, Souren Tash-
jian, and Manoog Young. We are most grateful to the members of the
Council for giving the staff their advice and counsel. In December, we
received a matching grant from the Massachusetts Council on the Arts
and Humanities to make a slide-tape portraying the experience of Ar-
menians who had emigrated from Soviet Armenia and Turkey to the United-
States. Work on this project has already been begun by Will Stanton.
The library's public relations and audio-visual productions achieved con-
siderable success during the past year. In June, we were awarded the
John Cotton Dana Library Public Relations Award for the second time, for
"its program to address special needs of Watertown residents, including
the visually handicapped; the deaf; and the elderly." The entry was pre-
sented in scrapbook form from materials prepared by Stephen Bayle,
Community Services Librarian, aided by Eric Peterson, Diane Pascuzzi,
Mary McHugh, and Peggy Marra. We were pleased to receive Honorable
Mention in the Massachusetts Library Association's Public Relations
Contest for Will Stanton's slide-tape, "The Library". This program is now
being converted to 16-mm film and has been shown to a number of clubs
and organizations in Watertown and elsewhere to enthusiastic audiences,
as has Will's other slide-tape, "Old." On September 14, "Old" and "Out
from Under the Rug," a film made by another CETA employee, Alexander
Griswold, was shown to an audience of 300 at Woodland Towers. Both
film programs interpret the life and feelings of the aging, and were made
possible by CETA funding, supervised by Stephen Bayle.
Several other CETA projects were either begun or completed in 1978.
Brian Quirk worked on programming for children in the Children's Depart-
ment at the Main Library during the summer. George Jones and Arthur
Miller took Verbal the Dragon to schools, day-care centers, and play-
grounds where children and adults enjoyed stories told by "The Dragon's
Tale." Under the supervision of Forrest Mack, Conservator in the Tech-
nical Services Department, Carol Lindahl restored and preserved moun-
tains of valuable historical materials, and helped with library graphics.
Eric Peterson was hired as graphic artist, and designed all library publi-
cations, posters, and exhibits. Diane Pascuzzi completed the indexing of
the Pequossette newspaper, 1873-1881, and Carl Phillips indexed the
Watertown Enterprise, 1879-1882, supervised by members of the Re-
ference staff.

From the point of view of the library staff, probably the most important
event of 1978 was the retirement of Mary McNally, Assistant Director,
Supervisor of Adult Services and Head of Reference. Miss McNally had
served the library in various capacities for over forty-two years, and her
influence on the staff of this institution cannot be underestimated. The
spirit of public service which she exemplified inspired all who worked with
her. On September 17, her many friends in the library and the com-
munity gave her a party at the Oakley Country Club, attended by over
one hundred. The trustees gave her a testimonial for which Lynne Car-
bone did the calligraphy, inscribed, "To Mary Margaret McNally, on her
retirement from the Watertown Free Public Library, 1937-1978: Her
service in a variety of assignments brought educational, cultural and
reading pleasure and sustenance to four generations of Watertown resi-
dents, young and old and from all walks of life. No task was too great
nor chore too small to command her efforts and to engage her steadfast
attention. She leaves her beloved patrons with fond memories of her
devotion to duty and her gracious self-effacing manner. The thanks of a
grateful public are extended to her by the Trustees of the Watertown
Free Public Library." We are glad to report that although the staff misses
Miss McNally in their daily work, we see her often. She is busy with
volunteer work and actively pursues various interests.
From its inception during Miss McNally's administration of Adult Ser-
vices and Reference, our involvement with the Community Health Infor-
mation Network has been a source of satisfaction, as it has increased its
services to the consumers and health professionals of Watertown, Arling-
ton, Cambridge, Belmont, Somerville, and Lexington. This project was
described fully in an article by Ellen Gartenfeld, project director, published
in "Library Journal," Oct. 1, 1978. In cooperation with the Community
Health Education Department of Mount Auburn Hospital, Stephen Bayle
has worked with representatives of other member libraries to carry out the
provisions of the grant, funded by the Library Services and Construction
Act, Title I, and the National Library of Medicine. In April, 1978, Leslie
Dalton was hired as project librarian, and the Watertown Public Library
was given additional funds for her salary.
With the retirement of Mary McNally, it became evident that the position
of Assistant Director and the Supervisor of Adult Services could no longer
be performed by one individual, after considering the matter carefully,
the trustees appointed Stephen Bayle Assistant Director with the under-
standing that he continue in his capacity as Community Services Librarian.
This reorganization resulted in the combining of the administrative duties
of Assistant Director with the responsibility for public relations, outreach
services, and audio-visual services. Jane Eastman was designated Acting
Supervisor of Adult Services and Head of Reference.
260
Another important step was taken by the trustees in adopting a set of job
descriptions for library positions. Work continues on the library operations
manual, and we hope that in 1979 we will complete the revision of the guide
to procedures which has not been fully updated for many years. A new
two-year union contract was signed in 1978, and this document will of
course become part of our new manual, as will all official documents and
policy statements.
You will find described in the reports of department heads and branch
librarians the important events of the year; included among these are
housekeeping details as well as programs and services. We are relieved
to add that the long-awaited fire escape is now in place on the stack wing
of the Main Library.
Participation by the staff in on-going educational programs has continued
as has attendance at meetings of the Massachusetts Library Association,
the New England Library Association, and in several book-review groups.
In June, the Director attended the annual meeting of the American Library
Association in Chicago. In November the Trustees voted to participate in
the Federal Funds Task Force at the invitation of the Selectmen. The
Director has been attending the meetings of the technical staff, and has
found sharing information with other administrators representing the
town's elected boards to be a valuable experience.
Once again we must thank all our friends who have helped to make 1978
such a successful year; the Friends of the Library, who held another suc-
cessful book fair; all our patrons, too numerous to mention, who gave us
time, books, money for special projects, and unstinting support; our col-
leagues in town departments who helped us in our daily work; and above
all, the trustees whose support and guidance gave direction to our en-
deavors. We look to the future in the hope that the library will continue
to play an active part in serving the needs of the Town.

Director
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ADULT SERVICES
THE REFERENCE DEPARTMENT
The year 1978 was a banner year for the Adult Services Department. The
number of questions answered by the Reference Department increased by
almost 50%, from 5,220 to 7,229. The question asked were, as always,
fascinating in their variety, ranging from, "How do you raise a mink?" and
"What's the annual rainfall in Seattle?" to research questions relating to
261
family history or scientific problems such as "the comparative anatomy of
the hawk and the frog." The Watertown Information Line, the depart-
ment's Information and Referral Service, was used twice as often in 1978
(1148 queries). The questions again ranged from, "Is there a recycling
center in Watertown?" to, "Where can I find an advocate for my special
needs child?" or, "My grandfather is too ill to stay alone and I need to
know how to evaluate a nursing home for him."
Inter-library loan requests also doubled in 1978 and included requests for
such scholarly works as "The Eighteenth Edition of the Dewey Decimal
Classification" as well as requests for more fiction by Agatha Christie.
Watertown responded to requests for local genealogical and historical
materials from as far away as California. The staff has observed that these•
statistics bear out their impression that patrons are using the reference,
Information and Referral and inter-library loan services more heavily than
ever before.
An important project of 1978 which will continue into and beyond 1979,
is the weeding and reorganization of the adult non-fiction collection. The
department has also initiated the McNaughton rental service for popular
books in order to supply public demand for new fiction and non-fiction.
Charlotte Murray is preparing a list of the periodicals currently received by
the library. When that project is completed, patrons should be able to
locate magazines of interest to them more easily. Mrs. Murray has also
prepared a list of business sources found in the library's reference col-
lection. This list was sent by the Chamber of Commerce to members of
the Watertown business community.
In July the popular resource, the Child Care Handbook, was revised and a
new edition, the sixth, was prepared for distribution to interested citizens.
The Women in Watertown Series held two meetings in 1978. The first,
"Women and the Politics of Health Care," with speakers Judy Norsegian
and Norma Swenson, authors of "Our Bodies, Ourselves," was held in the
spring and over forty women attended. In the fall, a program, "Can-
didates and Women's Issues," was presented. Anna del Gado of the
Boston chapter, National Organization of Women, spoke about the voting
record and published statements on issues of interest to women of the
various candidates in the state and local elections.
The Senior Citizens' Health Care Handbook was publicized and distri-
buted throughout 1978. 850 copies were given out. The book is being
updated by Helene Tuchman and a new edition is planned.
Two CETA indexers, Diane S. Pascuzzi and Carl Phillips, worked at pro-
jects designed to make old Watertown documents and newspapers more
262
easily accessible to both librarians and the public. Town documents dating
from the years 1750 to 1815 were classified, stamped, restored, sorted and
filed. The Pequossette newspaper, 1973-1881, and the Watertown Enter-
prise, 1879-1882 were indexed. Analysis and revision of the Watertown
Historical File and the pamphlet files were begun and will continue in
1979.
Helene Tuchman prepared an exhibit on African exploration which was
presented in the gallery. Old and rare books and periodical articles from
the Library collection, by the explorers themselves, were featured and
current materials were available for borrowing.
An excellent small medical reference collection has been established at
the Main Library through the Community Health Information Network
grant in cooperation with Mt. Auburn Hospital. In addition to the book
collection, the Watertown Library also has access to materials in medical
libraries through inter-library loan with the Health Sciences Library
at Mount Auburn. Providing book and article lists and answering
questions on medical subjects directly is also part of the network service
from the Community Health Information Network librarian at the Mt.
Auburn Hospital. The libraries of the network divided up the topics of
health information, and our areas of subject specialization are: death
and dying, and arthritis and rheumatism.
Members of the Department served during 1978 on two town-wide com-
mittees: the Social Service Providers Committee and the Elderly Ser-
vices Committee.
At the same time that the Adult Services Department was having its
busiest year, the Department had to absorb the loss of Miss Mary McNally,
who retired on September 1, 1978. Miss McNally's particular genius
was for her reference work and townspeople will remember her for many
years for her kindness and her indefatigable search for answers to re-
ference questions.
Jane Eastman
THE CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT
In the Circulation Department at the Main Library, the biggest change is
the new appearance of the Browsing Room. The addition of carpeting,
comfortable furniture and plants has made it an even more popular place
for many of our regular patrons.
As usual, we have been booking many and varied meetings. Several
new groups are meeting here regularly. Among them are a Psychology
263
Discussion Group in the Pratt Room every Wednesday and the Watertown,
Health Center Nutrition Classes in the Drop-In Center for the Elderly
every Tuesday.
The checking in and out of all types of audio-visual equipment, for which
the Circulation Department is responsible, has been made easier and more
efficient by the addition of a large calendar where everything is recorded
in one place.
The popular Ploughshares Collection of publications of small presses has
been enlarged and placed next to our regular collection of periodicals.
We also have a collection of Armenian records and books about Armenia
on display and our ever popular truck of books for sale, sponsored by the
Friends of the Library.
The Telephone System for the Deaf and many visual aids are located
near the Circulation Desk. Bulletin boards display posters and information
about concerts, workshops, and meetings. All in all, the Circulation
Department is a busy and stimulating place. Doris Anderson
COMMUNITY SERVICES
The library's public relations program includes the writing of public
service announcements, press releases, flyers and posters to publicize
library programs, services, and materials. In 1978 this included also
responsibility for the award-winning public relations entry, "The Library,"
produced by Will Stanton, and the John Cotton Dana scrapbook.
Outreach activities included membership in the Watertown Elderly Ser-
vices Committee; the Watertown Social Service Providers; the Board of
Directors of the Watertown Center for the Arts; the Massachusetts Asso-
ciation of Librarians Serving the Deaf; Massachusetts Ethnic Services
Librarians; and the Community Health Information Network Librarians.
We produced a large print/Braille publication, "Resources for the Visually
Handicapped at the Watertown Public Library."
Programs and presentations were made at the Rotary Club; the Garden
Club; to the Board of Directors of the Watertown Chamber of Commerce;
the Historical Society of Watertown; the Jolly Elders; the Watertown
Special Town Meeting; and at Woodland Towers, housing for the elderly.
Programs included the showing of films, videotapes and slide-tapes;
lectures; discussion groups; demonstrations; and the planning of future
library projects.
In December, the "Tel-Med" direct telephone line to the Blue Cross/Blue
Shield tape service was installed for free use by library patrons.
264
A series of five literary programs produced in conjunction with Plough-
shares, Inc. with a $100 grant from the Massachusetts Council on Arts
and Humanities drew capacity crowds to the library and attracted many
new patrons.
In addition to producing the slide-tape "The Library," Will Stanton pro-
duced a slide-tape about Watertown elders entitled "Old," which was
shown many times, including, by invitation of the Town Clerk, prior to
the Special Town Meeting.
Many videotapes were acquired, including several captioned and/or
signed tapes for the deaf and transfers of library-produced slide-tape and
film programs to the video format. The library's video-tape playback
equipment and tape library are now accessible to the public in the Young
Adult Room of the Main Library.
Exhibits in the Main Library have included winter photographs of Water-
town by former library employee Jeremy Cole; Victorian photographs;
paintings by an Armenian artist, Esther Agabian; Irish handicrafts;
photographs by the Watertown Women's Photography Co-op; the New
England Book Show; aerial photographs of Watertown; and many others.
CETA graphic artist Eric Peterson has produced new signs for the library;
posters and flyers for library events; a booking system for library events
and audio-visual equipment use; and worked on several library publica-
tions.
A CETA filmmaker, Andrew Jablon, has been hired to continue the film-
maker's workshops established last year by the Young Adult Department,
and a CETA photographer, Christine Harris, will be teaching photo-
graphy and copying historic Watertown photographs.
16mm film projectors; slide projectors; tape recorders and other audio-
visual equipment has been loaned to several Watertown agencies who
have trained personnel to operate the equipment. And like last year, all
equipment has been returned on time and in good repair. For this we
thank our borrowers and look forward to serving them in the coming year.
Stephen Bayle
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF YOUNG ADULT SERVICES
During the year 1978, the Young Adult Department continued its service
to Watertown youth. We added 1588 new books, bringing the average
cost of books down by extensive purchase of paperbacks. All rock record-
265
ings and science fiction books in the Main Library are now located in the
Young Adult Department. We "weeded" the book collection and updated
the vocational file and the current topics file, and acquired a filmstrip
viewer with automatic rewind for moviestrips. We own two moviestrips,
"Serpico" and "Patch of Blue."
The Spring Film Festival attracted a total of 1239 persons to eight per-
formances, and the summertime "Fun Flicks" on the rear lawn presented
seven full-length programs attended by a total of 870. Programs sponsored
included a VD education lecture and discussion for junior high-school boys
and girls in cooperation with the School Department and the Massachu-
setts Department of Public Health; a similar program of alcohol education
for young people; and a series of three classes in disco dancing, in co-
operation with the Recreation Deparment, which was attended by sixty
persons of all ages. In cooperation with the Community Services Librarian,
the department supervised the workshop activities of Alex Griswold, who
taught twenty-nine interested participants the art of 8-mm filmmaking.
We are pleased that many patrons find the department an interesting
place to visit.
Stella Frimmel
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF CHILDREN'S SERVICES
Thirteen sessions of preschool story hour were held at each of the four
libraries for children age three and one-half and older. The 193 children
who came to a library story hour listened to stories, played musical games
and worked at art and craft projects. In addition forty-five parents who
brought their children to the Main Library story hour attended a workshop
designed by Linda Wright, Supervisor of Children's Services. The
Parent's Workshop included guest speakers from the Watertown Police
Department, Watertown Health Clinic, American Humane Education
Society, Middlesex County Extension Service, Council for Children, and
the Family Service Association of Greater Boston.
Special story hours during the year included: summer story hours for
school-age children; a family story hour "Proud to be Me" featuring
ethnic folktales, dance and music; two Armenian story hours at the East
Branch; and "The Dragon's Tale" story-tellers who appeared in and out-
side the town's libraries. The Dragon's Tale was a CETA-funded project
which began in the fall of 1977 and continued to October of 1978. George
Jones and Arthur Miller were trained and carried their stories to thousands
of children in nursery schools, parks, housing projects, and the Watertown
Shopping Mall. The Dragon's Tale provided entertainment for children
with folklore, music, and original stories.
266
Summer programs in the Children's Department included a special scul-
pture and art class taught by CETA employees Brian Quirk and Cheryl
Kohler. Classes were held weekly for seven sessions at each of the four
libraries. This creative arts program culminated in a two-day art show on
the lawn of the Main Library, displaying the work of 274 children.
The Summer Reading Club of 1978 involved 740 Watertown children as
players in the Watertown All-Stars. The Reading Club featured a base-
ball theme with children participating in two teams, the Dragons and the
Cubs.. There were 459 children who completed ten books or more. In
all the children read 9415 books as part of this traditional library summer
activity. Parties for the winners were given at each of the four libraries and
each child received a special Watertown All-Stars baseball cap for his
prize.
Classes from Watertown Schools for library orientation, special story
hours, and media workshops, numbered 217 during 1978. Included in
these classes were every sixth grade class in the Watertown Public schools.
Librarians visited 177 school classes with book talks, story telling, and
announcements of special programs.
The Toddler-Parent Drop-In held each Friday morning at the Main Library
and East Branch attracts from thirty to fifty parents and children each
week. Participants in this program are given the opportunity to explore
the book and toy collection in a relaxed atmosphere of conversation and
children's play.
Movies were shown 150 times to a total audience of 2347 people. Regular
movie programs were scheduled during the school year on Friday after'
noons at the East Branch and on Saturday mornings at the Main Library.
Special programs during the year included: video-tape production taught
by Gary Sorkin at the Main Library, calligraphy taught by Sarah Widhu at
the West Branch, Christmas carolling led by Maureen Hegarty and Debra
Musserian at the East Branch, and the North Branch Annual Talent Show
produced by Maureen Sullivan and Madeliene Marino. Book-making,
photography, holiday crafts, and puppet workshops were also held during
the year in the Children's Department. One-day special events at the Main
Library and branches highlighted the year with the North Branch .Picnic
and Zoo Day, The East Branch "Greaser" Party and Hallowe'en Reading
Club Party, The West Branch Chinese New Year's Celebration and Hal-
lowe'en Make-Up Workshop, and the Main Library Guess-the-Beans
Contest. These special events attracted 1910 children to the library during
1978.
The Children's Department began publication of a monthly newsletter,
"Kids' Voice" which is written and edited by children. "Kids' Voice"
267
contains Library and town news, art work, stories and poems, reviews of
books, records and events, contests and polls, a "Dear Gabby" column,
crosswords puzzles and activities. The writing and layout of the newsletter
is done by children under the guidance of Gary Sorkin, Children's Li-
brarian at the Main Library.
In July the Watertown Library displayed an exhibit about family history
which was produced under a grant from the National Endowment for
the Humanities by the Children's Museum of Boston. Linda Wright
worked on the design of the exhibit as a consultant to the Children's
Museum. Family history discovered through names and their stories,
recipes, and family trees were featured in a do-it-yourself approach.
Cultures selected for the exhibit were Puerto Rican, Irish, Native
American, and Chinese, with an additional Armenian exhibit provided by
Debra Musserian, Children's Librarian at the East Branch.
Linda Wright
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF TECHNICAL SERVICES
A number of changes took place in 1978. Many new recordings were
acquired, and we made some changes in the classification and labelling of
jazz phonorecords to make them easier to find. Gail Roberts made Braille
labels for record jackets for the entire collection, including old records.
To aid Leslie Dalton, project librarian of the Community Health Informa-
tion Network, in compiling a health bibliography, we initiated a separate
duplicate shelf list of health-related materials. Added to the normal load
of materials to be accessioned, we also handled all materials acquired
through grants; large-print, Braille, Armenian, and health sciences.
In an effort to make materials available to the public as quickly as possible,
it was decided to place book orders on a weekly rather than a bi-weekly
basis.
Lucy Bidwell
REPORT OF THE CONSERVATOR
Deacidificationt and strengthening of vertical file documents continues to
be the chief of our in-house restoration program. In March, 1978 the
library acquired a CETA Conservation Technician, Carol Lindahl, who
accelerated the restoration program beyond expectation and who also
improved on the cosmetic appearance of our restored documents. As of
December, 1978, over two-thirds of the contents of the Watertown History
Vertical File have been stabilized and mended.
268
Restoration of large maps, posters, broadsides and manuscripts are also
a regular part of our conservation program. The New England Document
Conservation Center recommends lamination and mending with Japanese
tissue for these items, and we have found this approach to be rapid, safe,
and effective.
With the acquisition of a flat file for the locked stack, large maps which
were previously folded and filed in the Watertown History Vertical File
are now stored flat and cataloged for the locked stack. This has resulted
in better access for both public and staff, and eliminated deterioration from
folding.
During the summer months the contents of the locked stack were com-
pletely reshelved by Mark Neylon. While not strictly a conservation
measure, this operation resulted in improve storage conditions in the
locked stack, which if maintained will aid in extending the life of the ir-
replaceable materials shelved there.
In June and again in November, written recommendations for storage of
historical library media in the proposed building addition were prepared
and submitted by the Conservator.
Professional restoration work was done for the library by New England
Document Conservation Center on three items; a manuscript voter list
(1841), an printed genealogy of the Fowle family (1891) and a printed
last Will and Testament of George Washington (1800). This work was
completcd in February, 1978.

Forrest Mack
REPORT OF THE EAST BRANCH LIBRARIAN
The Armenian Grant has been well received by the community. Nancy
Aghazarian became Director in 1978 and under her direction the collection
269
has been taking shape. Eighteen women attended the classes in Armenian
lace-making which met October 16 through November 21, and fifteen
children attended a story-telling series in Armenian for children offered by
Shnorhig Shahinian. The Armenian-language recordings and books are
housed in new shelving.
During the year a number of repairs were made to the building. We thank
the Department of Public Works for the re-pointing of the bricks on the
front of the building and for re-mounting shelving which fell from the walls
of the Children's Room. We were sad that our ancient elm tree died and
had to be removed.
In addition to the activities connected with the Armenian Grant, a number-
of services continued: an active children's program; young adult services
to the students of the Home Base School (now relocated); a program
by the Multi-Service Center, "Money Sense," for consumers; and voter
registration. Judith Henshaw resigned from the Children's Department to
become Branch Librarian in Dedham, and Janet Jennings, Young Adult
Librarian, resigned to devote her time to her family. Nancy Aghazarian
was transferred from the Main Library to take Mrs. Jennings' place.
Mary Harney
REPORT OF THE NORTH BRANCH LIBRARIAN
Calendar year 1978has been a very busy one for the public as well as for the
staff at the North Branch Library.
The Children's Department has, of course, continued its story hours and
has held two sessions, each for ten children, on Tuesday mornings.
Another type of programming which began in earlier years included
the showing of a movie, this one entitled "Norman the Doorman," held on
February 22. Twenty-seven children attended the performance.
The Dragon's Tale continued its visits to "the North." On April 11th, the
Dragon told stories to thirty children, on April 21st thirty-eight children
were in attendance and on July 28th, ten came to hear this special pair
tell stories. The Dragon's Tale was also on hand for the picnic when
children who finished the Summer Reading Club celebrate the end of the
popular baseball club.
Lasting from late June until late August, the Watertown All-Stars Club
attracted two hundred and fifty-two participants. By club's end, one
hundred and seventy-nine children had finished the club by reading ten
books or more and 3642 books in all had been read by members of the
270
Cubs' and Dragons' teams. It was a particularly enjoyable club because of
the performance by the Red Sox this past year.
On August 4th, the third annual picnic was held on the North Branch's
back lawn. McDonald's supplied punch and cookies and children brought
their own lunches. The young patrons and the staff alike enjoyed bean-bag
tossing, giant bubble making and relay races, among other things. Thirty-
five children were in attendance.
On Thursday, August 24th, a grand day for the North Branch Library, the
Children's Department held the third Annual Talent Show. The nine-
teen-act show, which included such diverse talent as baton-twirling and
magic tricks, brought attendance in all to near 130. McDonald's again
supplied refreshments and those children who performed received metric
rulers, cookies and balloons from the McDonald's Corporation.
In 1978, the Children's Department held several very creative and suc-
cessful arts and crafts sessions. At the first, held on February 23rd,
there were fifty-five children present. They made teddy bears, Snoopys,
mosaics, and their own creations. A second session, held April 18th had
thirty-three in attendance and the children made butterflies, Raggedy
Ann and Andys and Charlie Brown faces. In late December, a program of
Christmas Crafts was held. On the 19th, children from Kindergarten
through third grade participated. Forty-one children made Christmas
doorknobs, flying angels, Snoopy ornaments and snowmen. On the 21st,
crafts were offered to children in grades 4-6. A dozen came to the branch
and made Santa Claus doorknob hangers, Peanut people in a sleigh,
flying angels and paper-cup angels and hats.
One novel and very successful activity in the Children's Department
was held on October 4th when Kathy Doherty, a representative from the
Stoneham Zoo, spoke to twenty-eight children about animals at the Zoo and
in general. Kathy worked with activity sheets and visual aids and her
program was very well received.
The Young Adult Department has been very active as well in serving its
clientele. A career exhibit was set up in the spring to coincide with the
time when many young adult patrons were in the process of making
decisions about their job futures. YA also set up a book-movie tie-in
exhibit in the fall which has been popular.
Part of the Young Adult budget has gone to the purchase of books for
locally taught American History classes and there has been significant
usage by students from Mr. Cucinotta's classes. The Young Adult Depart-
ment has done a considerable amount of weeding of its collection and has
increased its paperback purchasing in order to suit the increasing demand
271
for paper by library patrons. At present, the Young Adult Department
has plans to set up a science fiction exhibit.
The Adult Department joined the other departments in one of the North
Branch's most successful programs of 1978, the celebration of the U.S.A.'s
202nd birthday. On July 3rd, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. patrons of all ages
visited the branch and joined in the festive mood. The library was de-
corated with red, white and blue streamers and balloons and the American
Flag flew beautifully over the front door of the branch. Patrons signed the
giant "Happy Birthday, America" card and at day's end, there were 185
signatures. The library plans to celebrate the 203rd.
One innovation in the Adult Department which has been very successful
is the lists of "librarian's favorites" compiled by the staff. Copies of
these annotated lists have been handed out to interested patrons. They
cover a wide range of subjects. We each plan to do a second list in 1979
and have asked patrons to give us their own lists of special titles.
The Adult Department continues to ask for contributions to its "patrons'
cookbook" and has had response on this. The addition of a "love seat"
discarded by the Main Library has enhanced the atmosphere in the adult
area as has the recent purchase of a coffee machine.
A "Tenants' Workshop" was held at the North Branch on November 13th
and was sponsored by the Multi-Service Center. About eighteen people
attended the seminar, led by a local attorney. The lecture and question-
and-answer session were a welcome addition to the year's activities.
In late 1978, the physical plant at the North Branch was improved by a
much needed paint job done by CETA workers. Library facilities will soon
be improved by much-needed shelving.
It is perhaps significant to note that as another busy and creative year
has ended, the North Branch can mark an increase in the overall circulation
figures. Since July, the statistics have shown an average increase of over
370 per month from 1977. We hope the figures continue to climb and
thereby reflect the fine rapport between staff and patron at the North
Branch.

For the purpose of encouraging cooperation between the licensees and the
Police Department, and with a view to detecting possible violations of the
laws and regulations governing a particular license, the personnel of the
Detective Division made 1,801 personal inspections of licensed premises
during the past fiscal year. Any irregularities observed during these
inspections or otherwise brought to our attention, were thoroughly investi-
gated 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, the Board of Selectmen
took the following action against liquor licensees during the past year:
Strong Warning . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2
License Suspended . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4
License Revoked . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1

In addition, acting on the recommendation of this department, the Board of
Selectmen revoked the Special Police Appointments of two (2) individuals
during the past year.

GAMBLING AND VICE
During the year ending 30 June 1978, gaming activities in the Town of
Watertown were at a minimum, due in large measure to our constant
surveillance and investigation of persons and places that might be the
source of such activities. Information gained as a result of these sur-
veillances and investigations enabled us to provide information and
assistance to Federal, State and other local law enforcement agencies
concerning such activities in their jurisdiction, which in some cases led
to the arrest and conviction of the offenders.
In Watertown during this period, three (3) persons were arrested by
members of this department and charged as follows:
Being concerned in Setting Up and Promoting a Lottery . . . . . 1
Being Found with Apparatus for Registering Bets on
Results of Games . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1

Watertown enjoys an enviable reputation among law enforcement agencies
in the Greater Boston area for being a "clean" town as far as gaming and
vice are concerned. We are proud of the fact that these criminal ele-
ments choose to give Watertown a wide berth in the pursuit of their
activities. We will continue to work hard to keep it that way.

Those who would make light of the use of marijuana fail to consider that
aside from the physiological changes in those who use it, its use is a root
cause of a lot of accidents and much vandalism (429 incidents of vandalism
reported during the year ... not counting broken windows).
The incidents involving the use of so-called "hard" drugs were few ... but
one would be too many. The solution of the problem would seem to lie
with the courts and the enactment of a law requiring severe and man-
datory prison sentences for all so-called "pushers". Short of this we can
expect the problem to continue (and probably worsen) regardless of the
efforts of this department or the number of arrests made.
The number of arrests for offenses involving alcohol were down slightly
from last year. Aside from the 372 persons placed in "Protective Custody"
(formerly these persons would have been charged with "Drunkenness",
thirty-two (32) young people were arrested in the past year for Drinking
Alcoholic Beverages on a Public Way, and nine (9)juveniles were arrested
and charged with being a "Minor in Possession of Alcoholic Beverages.
Juveniles will continue to be victims of the drinking problem until such
time as the legal age is raised to twenty-one. At present eighteen-year-
olds can legally buy liquor for themselves ... and, unfortunately, for their
younger juvenile friends.
Once again we remind the citizens of the Town that the drug problem is
everybody's problem and that the police need all the help we can get in
the way of"tips" and/or confidential information.
During the year we enjoyed splendid cooperation from the personnel of
the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and the State Police
Narcotics Bureau, both on investigation and exchange of information.

During the record-breaking blizzard of February 6th and 7th, 1978, and for
several days following, the members of the Auxiliary Police turned out in
force to assist the regular police in their efforts to cope with the emergency.
From February 6th thru February 12th, the Auxiliaries patroled the town
in the Auxiliary Police vehicles, rode with regular men so that we could
have two men in each regular police patrol car, manned traffic control
posts, provided emergency transportation for hospital personnel and other
essential workers and assisted the regular police at the station in handling
literally hundreds of calls for assistance and information. The fact that
Watertown was one of the first municipalities in Greater Boston through
which traffic could move unimpeded after the storm, was due in some
considerable measure to the work of our Auxiliary Police Force.

Thomas Sherry and the members of the Auxiliary Police Force for a dif-
ficult job well done. Once again they have shown a devotion to duty and
a willingness to serve, far beyond that of what might reasonable be asked
of them. Once again they are to be commended for the excellent spirit
with which they responded to their assigned duties and the superior
manner in which they carried them out.

Each a time a juvenile came to our attention, a card was filed listing his or her name and the offense in which he or she was
involved.
Every possible consideration was given each boy and girl before they were brought before the Court. Complaints involving
juveniles not taken to court were handled in an informal manner after consultation with parents, clergy and school
authorities.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Annual Report for the Fire Department for the year 1978 is hereby
respectfully presented in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws
of the Town of Watertown.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS .
The Watertown Rescue has been in service since, January, 1975. It is
staffed with two (2) Firefighter Emergency Medical Technicians which is
required by Massachusetts Ambulance Law c I I I C. These men have taken
an eighty-one (81) hour Emergency Medical Technician Course and had to
pass a National Registry Exam. They must be recertified every two (2)
years by the National Registry with a point system, showing proof of
refresher courses in emergency care, C.P.R., attend lectures, besides
in-service training.
We have twenty-three (23) EMT's on the Watertown Fire Department of
which eight(8)are permanently assigned to the Rescue. The other men fill
in for vacations, sickness, injury, etc. or assigned to Engine Companies of
which the nearest company responds to an emergency and have the patient
stabilized before the Rescue arrives.
The Rescue has made 2,165 Emergency runs from July 1, 1977 through
December 31, 1978 in addition to fire calls.
The Watertown Rescue is known in Watertown and surrounding com-
munities for its excellent service to the people it serves.
FIRE PREVENTION
Fire prevention encompasses all of the means used by fire departments to
decrease the incidence of uncontrolled fire. The fire prevention methods
employed by fire department personnel involve a combination of engineer-
ing, education, and enforcement. Good engineering practices can do much
to provide built-in safeguards that help to prevent fires from starting;
such practices also help to limit the spread of fire should it occur. Edu-
cation is the method used to instruct and inform groups and individuals of
the dangers of fire and its possible effects. Enforcement is the legal
means of correcting deficiencies that pose a threat to life and property.
Enforcement is implemented when other methods fail. In addition, fire
investigation aids fire prevention efforts by indicating problem areas that
may require additional educational efforts or legislation to correct
deficiencies.
300
In the United States, the full value of fire prevention was not realized until
fire department and agencies began to compile meaningful information
concerning the causes and circumstances of fires. Such information
caused the more progressive departments to initiate more effective fire
prevention efforts in addition to maintaining their fire fighting forces.
Currently, the results of such efforts are being more clearly defined
every year.

TRAINING DIVISION
During the year of 1978 the following training programs were carried out
by all members of the department:
LADDER WORK
Ladder and engine companies work together on ladder evolutions so that
each member becomes proficient in the raising of ladders and the carrying
of hose lines over these ladders. Buildings at the Watertown Redevelop-
ment Authority area and the training area at Station Three are used for
these purposes.
PUMP INSTRUCTIONS
Pump operations at draft were held at the Metropolitan District Com-
mission property. Hydrant operations were conducted at the Watertown
Redevelopment Authority area and also at Station Three. All evolutions of
pump operations are carried out in these drills, which enables the pump
operators to become familiar in the handling of the pumpers.
PUMP TESTS
Service tests of pumps are held twice a year and are in accordance with the
requirements of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. These tests are
at a draft and are held at the Charles River under the direction of the
department mechanic.
INDOOR TRAINING
Indoor training becomes necessary during the winter months. Each week
a different subject is conducted by the company training officer. Also,
films and slides are shown relating to all phases of firefighting.
OUTDOOR TRAINING
Outdoor training was conducted at Station Three, Watertown Redevelop-
ment Authority area and the Metropolitan District Commission property.
These areas are used for combined pump and ladder operations.
302
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Special instructions include all procedures of sprinkler and standpipe
operations, ventilation, salvage and overhaul, elevator rescue operations,
first aid, breathing apparatus, forcible entry equipment, ropes and knots,
use of foam, heavy stream appliances, radio use, hi-rise buildings, water
rescue, life net, gas and electricity, and inspection of property.

CONCLUSION
The year 1978 will be remembered as the year of the great blizzard!
This storm overpowered all snow fighting equipment and forced the Fire
Department to adopt emergency measures of an extraordinary nature.
303
During the last few years the Fire Department has been responsible for
the care and transportation of sick and injured victims as well as their
primary responsibilities of fighting fires. We have also assumed the
burden of clearing hydrants of snow which used to be the responsibility
of the Water Department.
During the storm and its aftermath the men of the Rescue Company per-
formed an outstanding service to our citizens. They teamed up with the
crew of Engine Three out of Headquarters and assisted in the birth of a
baby in the rear of the Rescue to a Palfrey Street woman. On the night of
February 14th they teamed up with the crew of Engine Two out of the
Mt. Auburn St. Station and saved the life of a child who had apparently
drowned in a bathtub.
This storm was singular and unique in that it completely overpowered
snow fighting equipment and operations and therefore put a tremendous
burden on the Fire Department. This storm forced us to institute measures
that never had to be used in our memory.
Victims were removed by toboggans, snow mobiles, men on snow shoes,
and four wheel drive vehicles owned by members of the department.
All apparatus were kept on the streets until all hydrants were cleared of
snow. The use of metal detectors, borrowed from Public Works, to locate
buried hydrants was another innovative measure adopted by the depart-
ment.
At the risk of appearing melodramatic, I believe that because of the total
committment of every member of the department, this was the Fire
Departments' finest hour.
I want to publicly thank the Officers and Fire Fighters of the Watertown
Fire Department for their outstanding acts and services performed during
this crises, in the protection of our citizens.
Sincerely,
Robert C. O'Reilly
Chief of Fire Department

CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY
ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
1978
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, 1978 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 32, is maintaining
its condition of readiness, having its own fire station at the former Water-
town Arsenal which is operated four nights a week. It has a Rescue Truck,
2 Fire Engines, Station Wagon-Ambulette, Lighting Unit and a 3/4 ton
truck converted to a Rescue/Lighting Plant by the Auxiliary. These
volunteers answered 76 fire or rescue responses, not including the Blizzard
of '78, lighting assignments, pumped out cellars, pools, dug out hydrants
and assisted in emergency traffic control during snow and ice storms and
hurricanes. They contributed a total of 7,401 man-hours. 6 parades and
musters were participated in and 4 men attended the National Muster
Meet in New York. 12 men have received training in EMT and CPR.
1 new man was appointed to the department. In addition, the Auxiliary
Fire Department participated in numerous civic projects, some of which
include; the annual Bike-a-thon, Walk-a-thon, Band Competition in
Medford, Sons of Italy 3-day Festa, Fourth of July 3-day celebration and
bringing Santa by fire engine to the Mall. A testimonial was held for
Auxiliary Fire Chief Leonard E. Toombs to honor his 37 years of volunteer
service.
The Auxiliary Police, comprising 36 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 four portable radios. 2 new members were appointed this year.
This department contributed over 5,500 man-hours this calendar year.
305
Radio drills and National Air Warning Tests are held monthly with State
and Federal authorities by the Communications Division. 4 men were
sworn in as communications personnel. On July 14th one of the Com-
munications Officers, Raymond Walker, died while performing a CD
assignment. Plans for a Town-wide Emergency Communications System
are in progress.
An Emergency Operations Planner was hired through the CETA Program.
He has written a new Basic Emergency Operations Plan, is writing the
many annexes required by this plan and, also, updated the Watertown
Resources Inventory Manual. Three Deputy Directors were appointed.
The Director, E.O.P. and other CD personnel attended 12 Area Meetings,
hosted an Area meeting in Watertown, attended 4 Seminars, 2 Area
Communications meetings, 2 Public Official Conferences, a 6-day Career
Development Course, Snow Emergency for Public Officials, Flood
Insurance meeting and meetings for and participated in a Cambridge
Disaster Exercise. Program Papers, Staffing Patterns, Financial Require-
ment Forms, State Resources Inventory and Warning and Communica-
tions Survey Forms were completed and approved as well as updated
Personnel and Administrative Expenses Program Administrative Plan for
Watertown. Preparation for Natural Disaster alerts for flooding and snow
and ice storms were carried out.
On Tuesday, February 7th, Watertown awoke to the most crippling natural
disaster this town has ever experienced. Winds up to 110 miles per hour
and 27 inches of snow combined to batter our community causing two
storm related deaths, paralysing transportation and business, leaving
sections of the town without electricity and making streets impassable.
Civil Defense responded to this emergency beginning Monday, February
6th and was on duty continuously through 8 PM Sunday, February 12th
when our Command Center closed down. During this time we received
hundreds of calls for assistance. The volunteers of the Auxiliary Fire
Department recorded over 869 man-hours and many were on 24 hour
stand-by when not on active duty. The Auxiliary Police Department
logged in 955 man-hours. Volunteers working out of the command center,
not connected with these two units, put in almost 2,000 man-hours of
service.
This Agency received partial reimbursement (50%) under Federal Con-
tributions for Personnel and Administrative Expenses this year amounting
to a total of $4,116.04. This has been turned over to the E&D Town
Account. A Kaiser/Jeep Ambulance was acquired through the Excess
Property Property Program at no cost to the Town and was assigned to the
Fire Department.

PLANNING BOARD
ANNUAL REPORT
The year 1978 saw the composition of the Planning Board change sig-
nificantly. The new members faced the difficult task of responsibly
executing the new Zoning Bylaws including the mandated Chapter 808
changes effecting special permits and variances.
The Board has maintained a position of protecting neighborhoods from
abuse while encouraging a climate supportive of economic development.
In responding to proposals, the Board has considered each one on in-
dividual merit. Both United Electric and Boston Edison have proposed
projects for East Watertown which are subject to site plan review.
In reacting to individual proposals, the Board has maintained strong
interest in shifting to long range, coordinated planning. The shift is both
substantive and philosophical, and it represents a significant departure
from the approach of prior Boards. In substance, the shift is reflected by
efforts to retain full time planning services. A full time planner can
effectively coordinate an inter-agency approach to planning which is the
only cost effective method of planning in a community of Watertown's
size and complexity. Philosophically, the Board is committing itself to
a posture of planned growth and development according to a master plan
or blueprint for growth and development that is flexible enough to
accommodate and anticipate community needs, and to altering the plan as
needed when conditions change. In effect, the Board wants Watertown to
have the capacity to direct growth and development rather than reacting
to it as individual proposals are brought before the Board.
Watertown has been the recipient of a $500,000 Community Development
Block Grant through the efforts of the Planning Board under the direction
of the Board of Selectmen. These Federal funds will be put to use pro-
viding money for homeowner rehab projects in cooperation with the
Watertown Housing Authority. The Planning Board will continue to
pursue Federal funds in behalf of Watertown.
The Planning Board remains committed to completing the Walnut Street
industrial access road. Removing the problem of heavy truck traffic in a
residential neighborhood has been a community effort soon to bear fruit.
Board members have assumed liaison assignments with most boards in
the interest of pursuing a coordinated planning approach and maintaining
good communications. Among these assignments are traditional liaison
roles such as the Board of Appeals and the Board of Selectmen, but also
included are new liaison roles with the Watertown Square Development
Association and Watertown Center for the Arts.
318
In closing this report, the Board wishes to acknowledge the dedication and
effort of its former Chairman, Brian McDonald, who orchestrated the
revision of the Zoning Bylaws in accordance with the State mandated
provisions of Chapter 808. In addition, we wish to commend the hard
work of Ms. Jean Poteete, former Senior Planning Aide, who was in-
strumental in Watertown's successful bid for a Community Development
Block Grant.

WATERTOWN CONSERVATION COMMISSION
The Watertown Conservation Commission respectfully submits its
Annual Report for the year, 1978.
"God has saved trees from drought, disease, avalanches, and a
thousand strainings .... but He cannot save them from fools."
John Muir
The Watertown Conservation Commission accepted the resignation of
Mr. Thomas Perry, 28 Beacon Park, with much regret. Tom was a valued
and faithful member of the Commission for many years, and is missed at
our meetings. His replacement is, Blanche Kasper, 15 Stoneleigh Road.
ARSENAL PARK
We prepared final development applications to the BOR and State for
funding and they were submitted in March, 1978.
One reimbursement check was received from the State Government in
June of 1978, in the amount of$553,000.00; and another from the Federal
Government in July 1978 in the amount of$661,000.00.
After the receipt of these two checks, the Town Treasurer was able to
establish the special - separate fund, as stipulated in the Town vote at
the Town Meeting in May, 1976.
After the establishment of the fund, then we were able to invite proposals
for the Archaeological Survey that was required of the project and for the
Topographical Survey.
Phase I of the Archaeological Survey was completed in August, 1978, and
details of this report are being resolved with the Heritage Conservation
and Recreation Service, formerly B.O.R. and the State and National
Historic Commissions.
The ground Topographical Survey is substantially completed now and the
319
construction drawings and documents for the required public bidding are
underway. We expect to have the documents ready by March, 1979.
This will be a good time for receipt of bids by site development contractors
and means that construction may begin in the Spring of 1979 with the
substantial completion of the park possibly by the end of this year.
We are grateful for the support Town Meeting has given to this project,
as it has enabled us to receive $1,214,000.00 into the General Fund of the
Town. Because of this money received, our Town Treasurer felt it was a
Godsend for us, because he did not have to borrow money for the Town.
TREE STUDY
On July 24, 1978, the CETA staff of the Watertown Conservation Com-
mission completed a tree inventory of the community. The inventory took
two and one half months to complete, during which time, close to 13,000
trees, valued at $19.5 million dollars were studied, representing virtually
all the trees located on private and public property, from the front of
dwellings to the street. Specific location, dimension, and health are
some of the twenty-two various codes which are recorded for each tree.
All of the data obtained in the inventory has been key punched and stored
in the School Department's computer system. Access programs are
written which will provide printouts of specific categories, such as, tree
species, dimensions, health, percentages, and any other combinations of
the twenty-two codes.
The potential uses of the Tree Inventory Data Base will save much time,
effort, and expense when tree planting or maintenance is being planned or
carried out. Through printout of various work needed codes, tree main-
tenance for upcoming seasons can be planned for in advance, eliminating
the costly time consuming need for Tree Department personnel, to drive
around town and visually determine problem areas. Other codes, such as,
trunk condition, crown condition, and root system offer important infor-
mation about the general condition of a particular species, or point out
patterns of decline throughout the town. With this information on hand,
resources can be carefully allocated, so that more serious problems are
dealt with first and lesser problems tackled before they blow up to full
scale proportions.
The Tree Inventory Data Base will also yield insight into the condition of
a particular species of tree at a given location in the community. To
illustrate, a printout of all street side sugar maples in Watertown will
show vigor codes of Fair, Poor, or Dead. These results very clearly show
that sugar maples are not surviving along the roadsides and should not be
planted there.
The Conservation Commission staff has prepared a report which describes
a Tree Management Program for Watertown. It draws upon the Tree
Inventory Data Base and accepted tree management practices in making
positive recommendations about improving the tree management services
320
delivered by the Town. Adoption of the program will reflect in better use
of the tax-dollars spent on tree management in Watertown.
Any further information regarding the Inventory or Management Program
can be acquired by contacting the Conservation Office during regular
business hours.
TREE HEARINGS
Representatives of the Conservation Commission attended tree hearings
as a concerned party, in favor of removing only those trees which were
either dead or doubtful as to their short term survival. This past year
there were three 100% healthy trees removed which we objected to at
these hearings. One, at the corner of School and Maplewood Streets,.
was deemed to be a hazard to vehicular traffic by the Department of
Public Works and, subsequently, was removed. Another, on Lexington
Street,was removed for the same reason. The third tree, on Maple Street,
was removed, per order of the Department of Public Works, for the reason
of widening the Travelled Way. While the Conservation Commission is
saddened at the loss of this 100 year old maple, one of the last on Maple
Street, we are looking forward to the planting program promised by the
Department of Public Works which, not only will replace the trees removed
for the widening, but add trees along the street, at the property owner's
requests.
AIR POLLUTION
Two companies were investigated this year for possible air pollution and
associated violations.
Webcon Industries on Arsenal Street was investigated by the Conservation
Commission staff and it was deemed necessary to call in the Department
of Air and Hazardous Materials for further analysis. As a result, Webcon
was cited for two violations and the matter is being reviewed by those
organizations. Ionics Corporation on Grove Street was investigated
several times by the Conservation Commission staff in answer to
complaints of a "dead fish" odor permeating the neighborhood.
The odor was identified as coming from an organic compound necessary to
Ionic's production process, and the company has taken steps to bring the
problem under control.
WETLAND HEARINGS
The Conservation Commission held two public hearings, plus preliminary
meetings and continuations under the Wetlands Protection Act, Chapter
131, Sec. 40. Under this Act, the Commission has greatly increased
responsibilities in the area of wetland protection, and works with appli-
cants to insure that our wetlands and waterways are not damaged. Any
321
development or project within 100 feet of a wetland or waterway is subject
to the regulations of the Act, and the developer is obligated to apply for a
hearing with the Commission. Many applicants requested preliminary
meetings with the Commission to prepare plans that comply with the Act.
Cooperation between the Conservation Commission and the various
applicants has resulted in producing workable projects that conform to the
Wetland Protection Act. Hearings were held on the following projects:
1. Raytheon Company - new parking lot in the area of Walker's
Pond, associated with expanded building program.
2. Mosesian's Charles River Towers on Coolidge Ave., adjacent
to wetland area.
FLOOD PLAIN ZONING
Commission reviewed and approved maps establishing Flood Plain for
insurance purposes - zoning to be voted on at Annual Town Meeting on or
about May, 1979.
COMMUNITY GARDENS
The Watertown Conservation Commission continues to sponsor the
Watertown Community Gardeners.
Under the direction of Jean and John Gregory, Mary Heany, and Judith
Bevans, the Watertown Gardeners produced abundant vegetables, in-
cluding, corn, peas, tomatoes, lettuce, squash, peppers, and a few giant
sunflowers. Water was graciously provided to the gardeners by the
Unitrode Corporation, which has expressed its desire to continue the
program.
The Gardeners look forward to a successful program again this year.
YOUTH PROGRAMS
A. Mass 4-H Conservation School
Every year, the Conservation Commission sponsors two students to the
Mass 4-H Conservation School in Ashland.
This educational experience is available to teenagers throughout the state.
The Primary Goal - to develop a general understanding of the environ-
ment, as it relates to the community, country, region, state and beyond.
Objectives of the course:
1. To gain a greater understanding of the role of conservation com-
missions and how youth may become actively involved.
2. To stimulate greater participation in Natural Resources projects.
3. To train teenaged conservation leaders. Also, the program prepares
teenagers to be active participants in conservation commissions.
322
B. Youth Conservation Corps
This past summer, the Town benefitted from the efforts of young people
who worked on Conservation projects. These projects included main-
tenance work on Linear Park, Landscaping at the Boy's Club, Whitney
Hill mural and woodland cleanup, and assistance with the tree study. The
Youth Conservation Corps is funded by the U. S. Dept. of the Interior and
provides for summer job opportunities for 15 - 18 year olds. The Com-
mission commends the fine work done by the Y.C.C. and anticipates
having their assistance again this year.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERS
Watertown Conservation Commission meetings have been attended
regularly by citizens at large and by our several associate members. Their
participation is very much appreciated. We would encourage and welcome
the interest and participation of all Watertown residents.

Richard E. Mastrangelo,Ass't. Treasurer
Herbert 0. Berry,Member
Michael N. Matt,Executive Director
The Annual Report of the Watertown Redevelopment Authority for the
year 1978 is respectfully submitted.
During the year, a number of important events and significant actions took
place which marked 1978 as a year of change and progress.
At the Annual Town Election, Richard E. Mastrangelo was elected to the
Authority, replacing Ronald Ohanian, who did not seek reelection. In
addition, John X. Doherty moved from Watertown, thereby resigning his
seat on the Authority. Herbert 0. Berry, his successor, was appointed on
September 5 and will serve until the Town election of 1979.
323
At its Annual Meeting, the Authority reelected Leonard M. Frisoli
Chairman; Martin V. Tomassian was reelected Vice-Chairman; Dennis
Duff was reelected Treasurer; and Richard E. Mastrangelo was elected to
serve as Assistant Treasurer.
In addition to those changes in the membership of the Authority, a number
of significant actions were taken by the Authority to market and develop
the Arsenal Renewal Site.
In the spring of 1978, the Watertown Redevelopment Authority and its
consultants completed the marketability studies for site development.
The marketability studies were used by the Authority to prepare its
developer kits for the advertising of the availability of the Arsenal for
redevelopment.
In July the Authority advertised the Arsenal site for development pro-
posals. Seven development proposals were received by the Authority in
October of 1978,which included retail commercial, residential, and mixed-
use development plans.
In November, the Authority held seven public meetings at the Town
Administration Building for the public presentation of these development
proposals by the developers.
Watertown citizens were encouraged to attend and see for themselves
the proposals as presented to the Authority by the developers. All Town
Meeting members and elected and appointed Town officials were sent
individual invitations to attend these open public meetings and to parti-
cipate in that process.
At the close of the year, the Authority was involved in the evaluation of
the developers' proposals. Early in 1979, the Authority intends to conclude
the first phase of that evaluation process by making a preliminary selection
of two or three of the seven development proposals for future action and
consideration.
1979 has been a year of achievement and progress as was promised the
citizens of Watertown in last year's annual report. The Authority remains
on schedule and reaffirms its promise to the townspeople to make 1979
another year of achievement and progress as we seek to restore the Arsenal
property to the tax rolls.

This is the ninety-eighth Annual Report of the Superintendent of Schools
to the Town of Watertown.
The 1977-78 school year has perhaps been one of the most significant
school years for the Watertown Public Schools in recent years. The
325
numerous issues that were addressed and changes that have taken place
demanded an intensified effort on the part of the School Committee,
administration and faculty to insure educationally sound decisions would
insure sound consequences for both the schools and the community.
The impact of many of this year's events will be felt in Watertown's
educational setting for some time to come.
The 1977-78 school year had not started when the application of field
audits by the Department of Education of Chapter 766 reimbursement
claim resulted in a substantial reduction in state aid reimbursement to
Watertown. After several months of study, reports, administrative
appeals, and contacts with other school systems, Watertown, along
with several school systems, initiated a suit against the State Department
of Education and Department of Taxation and Corporations to obtain
relief from the results of field audits. As of this writing, the Middlesex
Superior Court has ordered a preliminary injunction constraining the
Department of Education from conducting further audits of Chapter 766
claims until the Department provides regulations on the subject of record
keeping for Chapter 766 reimbursements.
Early in the fall of 1977 the School Committee voted to establish a goal
whereby the 1978-79 school budget would not exceed the 1977-78 school
budget. This goal, with the exception of the School Traffic Supervisor
account, which was transferred by Town Meeting from the Police Depart-
ment to the School Department, was met.
At the request of the School Committee, a project team from the firm of
Arthur D. Little, Inc. conducted a three-month studv of the entire adminis-
trative structure of the school system. Their report to the School Com-
mittee indicated the Watertown Public Schools is a normal and healthy
school system with some areas of planning, priority setting, and com-
munications that need improvement.
The trend of decreasing enrollments continued in the Watertown Public
Schools. The School Committee reactivated a system-wide Advisory
Committee and in November it presented recommendations to the School
Committee on several options 'that were available to meet the changes
brought about by enrollment decreases. Contiguous with this study,
members of the Central Office prepared the report: A Long Range Plan
To Mett The Educational Needs Of The Students In The Watertown
Public Schools, which was completed in January. The course of action
recommended by the Superintendent of Schools was the result of .two
extensive reports from a school/parent/community advisory group and
intensive research on the part of the School Department's administrative
personnel and was presented to the School Committee.
326
At its meeting of January 17, 1978 the School Committee approved the first
phase of a five phase plan by the Superintendent to meet the educational
needs of Watertown's children. As a result of this vote, the Parker School
has been retired as an elementary school and the building is being used by
Home Base School students. The elementary students from the Parker
district will be educated at the Hosmer School.
The professional staff was successful in obtaining federal and state grants
that have helped to strengthen the curriculum. The following are examples
of their successes:
1. Phase I of a Title VII Bilingual Grant, From Ararat to America;
successfully completed the first year of assisting Armenian students
and their families in adjusting to the American life style while
preserving their ethnic heritage. Phase I1 of this grant has received
funding approval of$111,500.
2. Project PACE is a PL 94-142 funded program that serves special
needs students, who are potential dropouts, with individualized
work/study and academic preparation, with grant monies of
$33,775.
3. Secondary students continue their voluntary participation in Political
Discovery and American Experience -- Magnet Education programs
that have a 4 year history of success in Watertown.
4. Project WALSE, an environmentally focused Title IV-C project,
was implemented in grades 9 and 10 with grant monies of$64,000.
5. Project Collaborative Health Careers enables 11th grade students
to explore a career in the health area using the facilities at Mount
Auburn Hospital, with funding of$30,040.
6. Title IV-B allocated $14,000 to be again shared among Watertown's
public and private i;rhools. This year's emphasis was on basic
skills in the language arts/reading area.
7. Title VI-B grants of $29,000 provide 2 aides to assist the special
needs students in Industrial Arts classes and some assistance for
handicapped children returning to public schools from outside
placements.
8. State monies of $83,000 were granted to four vocational educa-
tion programs in the areas of Business Education, Home Economics
and Occupational Guidance.
Other areas of curriculum and instruction continue to experience growth
and development. Perhaps most notable among them are:
1. The 1978 summer workshops provided curriculum guides and
instructional materials in Math K-9, 6th grade Study Skills, Foreign
Languages and Armenian Bilingual.
2. This year's curriculum priority areas were Foreign Languages and
327
Math. The Foreign Languages Department concentrated on
curriculum revision. Updating texts and materials was the focus of
the Math Department.
The new staff evaluation instrument was implemented in September. The
instrument facilitated the goal of having a fair and just evaluation of pro-
fessional staff through the use of specific evaluation objectives. The
results of a staff survey indicate that the process, on the whole, was suc-
cessful and those areas needing modification have been responded to by
the evaluation committee. A great deal of the credit for this work is
attributable to the Assistant Superintendent of Schools and the Com-
mittee assigned to this task.
The High School Building Committee was appointed by the Town Modera-
tor during the summer of 1977 to work on the preparation of plans and
specifications for the Watertown High School addition and renovations.
The final approval of contracting bids submitted in November, 1978 will
enable construction to begin early in 1979.
The supportive efforts of the Watertown school personnel, school volun-
teers, parents and citizens result in the constant progress of Watertown's
educational system. For this support the School Committee and the
Superintendent express their appreciation.
SCHOOLS
WATERTOWN HIGH SCHOOL
The high school placed teacher evaluations, improved communication
between school and community, curriculum development and preparation
for the new building addition as the priorities for 1978. Teacher evalua-
tion was done this past year with a new evaluation instrument and
increased class visitations. In addition, the administrative staff partici-
pated in an evaluation workshop this fall to increase their observation and
writing skills.
In November The Watertown High School Newsletter was published for
the first time. The Newsletter will be published as a quarterly and will
be mailed to the parents of all high school students.
In anticipation of State-mandated competency tests, all sophomores who
did not score high in reading were required to attend the Reading Lab
twice a week beginning in the fall of 1978. At the same time two writing
courses were re-instituted at the high school, Basic Composition and
Creative Writing. Both courses are offered as electives and as additions
to a regular required English class.
328
The fall also saw two new policies instituted which would require students
to discipline themselves more. One requires seniors to have earned all
75 credits in order to be in the graduation ceremony and the other requires
students to have completed certain credits and courses in order to be
placed in the next higher class.
Finally, staff members met continually with the architects to shape and
monitor the drawing of plans for the new building-addition.
EAST JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
During the past year the East Junior High School continued to provide a
variety of learning experience for its students. Besides the regularly
scheduled in-class programs, there are many additional activities that
students may undertake for enrichment. Listed below are some of the
more popular activities:
CAPE COD TRIP— The seventh grade science classes of the East Junior
enjoyed three days on Cape Cod this past June. Using Nickerson State
Park as a base camp, eighty-five eager young campers explored the marine
fife and unique geologic features of the lower Cape region. This trip
provides the opportunity to re-inforce the entire curriculum and has be-
come an annual event. A variety of nature trails and activities are available
through the Cape Cod National Seashore. Seventh graders who like
hiking,bike-riding,visiting an aquarium had an enjoyable and educational
trip.
MUSIC — The East Junior High School Music Department had a highly
productive year. The band, which is still growing in size, performed at
numerous events: Graduation, the Football Rally, the East/West foot-
ball and hockey games, Veterans' Day Assembly, the Spring Concert and
the Christmas Concert.
FOR KIDS ONLY — The East Junior High School was fortunate to have
its students appear on the Channel 4 TV program "For Kids Only" no less
than three times during the past twelve months providing several of our
students the opportunity to be seen on television.
WASHINGTON D.C. FIELD TRIP — The week preceding the April
vacatio&was the scene of this year's 7th Annual Washington D.C. Trip
for ninth grade students. During the school year, students going on the
trip were given the opportunity to earn their expense money by selling
Memo Pads printed by the Graphic Art shop under the direction of Mr.
Mario DiLeo. A yard sale was held in November to raise money to defray
the expenses of the two parent chaperones who would go on the trip. The
trip was planned and supervised by Mr. William Curry, Mr. Joseph
329
DiLeo, Mr. Robert Harrington, Miss Linda Gilbert and Miss Donna
Tramontozzi.
SOCIAL STUDIES—The American Political Systems Classes presented its
annual "Meet the Candidates" Assembly prior to this year's Town election.
The entire student body met and heard all of the candidates who were
running for town offices.' The Assembly was followed up by a Mock
Election, where all students were given the opportunity to vote for the
candidates of their choice.
This year fifteen ninth grade students participated in the Political Dis-
covery Program. Mr. William Curry, along with ten students, particip3r
ted in the program entitled "Law and the Courts." Mr. Joseph DiLeo,
along with five students, participated in a program entitled "The Legis-
lative Process of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts."
Miss Virginia Graham presented a program to educators who attended
the 9th Annual Northeast Regional Social Studies Convention on March
8th, 1978. In the spring of 1978, Miss Graham's history classes produced
and directed a Medieval Fair, and it was this fair that was presented at the
Social Studies Convention. Miss Graham's students who attended the
convention were dressed in medieval costumes representing a cross
section of life. Among them were a minstrel, a runaway serf, a monk and
a lord of a manor. Each student explained the character and lifestyle of
the person he or she portrayed. A video-tape of a medieval trial in a law
court was presented, and there was also a slide tape travelogue depicting
a lord of a manor traveling to one of the famous medieval fairs held at
Tours in France during the 14th and 15th centuries.
WEST JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
During 1978, the year of the "Big Blizzard," the West Junior High School
achieved an internal stability. Mr. Frank V. Sollitto was appointed to the
post of Assistant Principal, relieving Mr. Joseph Guden who had served
in an acting capacity. Several teachers were assigned to the school as a
result of reductions in staff, and the strengths of these new numbers to
our faculty solidified the departments with experience and a new vitality.
Several of our youngsters participated in the T.V. show on Channel 4,
"For Kids Only".
The Palace Players' performance of "Guys and Dolls" was an excellent
achievement. The music and acting by these young people would have
to be considered very professional. The students and parents who saw
the performances were thrilled.
330
Our art department received the services of the noted water colorist, Mr.
Joseph Santoro. The excellent work of our students reflects his talents.
The Pequossette Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society inducted
55 new members in 1978. This is the highest total the school has had in
many years.
Athletically, the West Junior High fared very well. Our girls' teams had a
first-rate season in all sports. Our boys captured the East-West Basket-
ball Trophy and also held onto the East-West Hockey Trophy. The base-
ball and track teams also deserve special mention.
The Student Council did an exceptional job in 1978. In addition to running
several very successful dances, they also conducted a ski trip to Eastover,
in Lenox, Massachusetts, a sleigh ride in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, and a
trip for 9th graders to Washington, D.C.
Even though several school days were lost as a result of the big blizzard,
and the days had to be made up at the end of the year, overall 1978 would
have to be considered a good year for all at the West Junior High School.
HOME BASE SCHOOL
Home Base School, 8 years old and newly moved to the Parker, continues
to meet vital needs in Watertown.
It serves an otherwise diverse population of students who share a strong
need for a small, flexible, community-based program. Some students
choose Home Base for the chance it gives them to follow an enriched pro-
gram. Others choose it for its reputation in remedial work. Many want
and need its small, familiar atmosphere. Some desperately need the
chance it allows them to make a fresh start-either socially or academically.
In addition to serving students, Home Base serves school too. At a time
when schools in this town and state face mandates in basic skills com-
petency, education for the gifted, physical education, and special
education, Home Base functions as a laboratory for developing and testing
new programs. Its size and flexibility make it an appropriate and pro-
lific laboratory. Over the last several years it has introduced effective,
innovative, and inexpensive teaching models in grammar, spelling, hand-
writing, writing in the content areas, environmental science, study skills,
music, media, physical education, and special education.
Considering the services it returns, Home Base costs little to run. It has
approximately the same student-teacher ratio as Watertown High School
331
(though it supplements its professional staff with unpaid volunteers),
and it about equals the High School, too, in per pupil expenditures for texts
and supplies. There are, of course, some costs beyond teachers and
materials but these are negligible. considering the fact that the school
serves quite a few students who might otherwise require expensive out-
of-district placements.
BROWNE SCHOOL
The Browne School has initiated a "new" lunch program for our children
in grades one to six. The "newness" consists of food being served hot in
a pleasant atmosphere, away from the classroom and their desks. The
cafeteria is an area especially renovated with special cafeteria furniture for
the children and the serving of lunches. Three sections of hot tray lunches
serve about 155 children.
We are pleased that we are able to afford our children an opportunity to
take part in and enjoy a lunch program so vital and important to them
during their early growing years.
COOLIDGE SCHOOL
The Coolidge School Resource Room serves 31 children in varying time
slots from one-half hour three times a day to two hours or more daily,
depending on the child's individualized educational plan. Mrs.'Bernice
Lewiton and Mrs. Martha Jacoby are half-time teachers aided by Mrs.
Mary Kelly and usually a student teacher from Boston College or Lesley
College. Resource services include direct remedial help for children
on a one-to-one basis or in small group settings.-- On-going evaluations,
educational screening and semi=annual testing relfect and measure pro-
gress. Quarterly reports are submitted to Barents and teachers. Semi-
annual meetings with teachers maintain a flow of ideas, allow for scholastic
or other changes in a child's plan, if and when necessary, and is a direct
way of having a systematic-review process for the children who are being
serviced. In addition to its regular resource program the implementation of
Surprise Day involves non-special education children. Once a week,
grades 1-3 and 4-6 have a scheduled time slot in which teachers select
children to come to the Surprise Day program depending on a behavior a
teacher wants to reward - such as, someone's birthday, good work,
thoughtful behavior, etc. Having the general school population participa-
ting in a Resource Program reduces any stigma of receiving special ser-
vices and brings a cohesive quality to the special education vs. regular
education split.
During 1978 two outside agencies moved into permanent offices at the
Coolidge School. The agencies are:
332
PROJECT WALSE — is an EdCo environmental curriculum develop-
ment project funded by ESEA Title IV-C. Four units designed to pre-
sent an environmental perspective on existing science and social studies
content are being developed and piloted in selected EdCo classrooms
grades 7 - 10.
THE WATERTOWN COUNCIL OF ARTS — has been in close contact
with artists and arts organizations across the state and, indeed, throughout
the country. It has been an active force in the organization of an associa-
tion of Public Arts Managers in the greater Boston area and has been
involved in several Massachusetts conferences concerning the relation of
the arts and the community. The WCA has helped bring the arts to Water
town and Watertown to the arts.
CUNNIFF SCHOOL
The revised mathematics curriculum guide is being implemented in every
grade. Mathematics has returned to basic fundamentals and emphasis will
continue in that direction. We are in the process of developing a revised
schedule for the 1979-80 school year to comply with the new state law
mandating increased instructional time for physical education and health.
Once again, most of our staff are serving on educational committees or
representing the school as liaison personnel for several of the subject
areas. The Cunniff staff will be developing a budget which will reflect a
zero increase in operational costs without cutting programs or services.
We believe this can and must be done.
Mr. Critch, Supervisor of Custodians and Maintenance, has worked dili-
gently to correct the chronic heating problem we have experienced at the
Cunniff School for many years. There has been a marked improvement in
the heating system which should result in substantial savings.
We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the outstanding
contributions our P.T.O. has made to the operation of our school.
HOSMER SCHOOL
To obtain a balance and interrelationship among subject areas, teachers at
the Hosmer School are capitalizing on skills learned in one subject area and
applying them to another - a long time practice of many teachers. The
process, however, is more complex than in the past. Not only does the
teacher have to match skills learned by students to learner tasks, they
must address the problem of grouping pupils with the realization that
individuals differ in many ways; in particular, the way they learn. That is,
not all children are ready to learn a skill at the same time, learn skills
in the same way, nor require the same amount of time to learn a skill
when they are capable.
333
One Teacher balanced her phonics approach to the teaching of reading
with a program for creative writing in the first grade. In a phonics
approach to reading stories, the words are related to sounds being learned
rather than the content of the story. Whereas, comprehension of the
printed word is dependent on the understanding of the word read. Also,
it had been noted that words most common in the children's speaking
vocabulary are considered easiest to comprehend; and those words not in
the children's vocabulary are considered most difficult. The teacher also
noted that her reading program required only a moderate amount of
writing.
Initially, the teacher writes for or with her children. As they learn to write
and to spell, they become more independent. The children develop and
use their own dictionaries. Thus, they attempt to improve their working
vocabulary and enhance their comprehension skills. The teacher works as
a guide to determine the fine line of integration between the creative and
functional aspects of writing. She also establishes a "working center"
to encourage writing. Because the creative process is very personal by
nature, evaluation is performed by the children themselves as a part of
the whole experience. However, the teacher keeps a folder of each child's
work to show growth and improvement in the mechanics of writing. This
is an example of a conscious team effort of the Hosmer staff to balance the
school's curriculum.
LOWELL SCHOOL
As the James Russell Lowell School enters its fifty second year, a complete
renovation of its classrooms, corridors and auditorium is well underway.
The modernization of this beautiful building is nearing the halfway mark
as all first floor classrooms are now renewed. The second floor classrooms
are being worked on one at a time with completion scheduled by next
September. Corridor and auditorium restoration will follow. The project
is being directed by Mr. Michael Critch, Supervisor of Maintenance
with the capable assistance of school craftsmen and CETA trainees.
Our school is continuing to pursue, vigorously, the basic disciplines of
reading, writing, and arithmetic, with emphasis on .social studies and
science. In the affective area, the major school goal, in consort with
parents, is "Respect for the rights of others and property -and manners".
This year, for the first time in ten years, we have three sixth grades. To
accomodate this enrollment increase, Miss Ann Whittier, Mrs. Jane
Manzelli, and Mr. Anthony Ducas have been reassigned to our faculty.
334
MARSHALL SPRING SCHOOL
During the past year the Marshall Spring School continued to provide a
variety of learning experiences for its students. In addition to the regular
program, there were several activities of a cultural and enrichment nature.
They include:
DRAMA—Both the West Junior High School Drama Clubs performed for
Marshall students. "Wings" and "Up the Down Staircase" were well
received by all. The students also enjoyed the musical play "Scrooge".
MUSIC — The Watertown Public School's Music Department sponsored
two musicale programs. A Christmas and Spring Concert were held to
include the school's mini-singers glee club, band and orchestra.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS — A variety of athletic programs were
offered to Marshall students. They include basketball, soccer, flagtag,
football, softball and bowling. We are grateful to the Recreation Depart-
ment for this offering.
NEW STAFF—The staff assigned to the Marshall Spring School include
John Williams, grade 5 and assistant principal; Mary Nuhn, one-half
time kindergarten teacher; and Francis Manzelli, principal.
PARENT ACTIVITIES — We are indeed grateful to the large numbers of
hard working and dedicated parents making up the Parents Teachers
Group. They sponsored a Metric System night, a successful Christmas
Party, school wide picnic and a May Music Festival.
SCOUTING — Both the Girl and Boy Scout troops at Marshall are active
and continually providing positive learning experiences for young children.
With the leadership and,assistance of parent volunteers children are in-
vited to participate in camping trips, cookouts, special activities, picnics
as well as regular weekly instruction.
PHILLIPS SCHOOL
During the past year the Phillips School continued to provide a variety of
learning experiences for its students. In addition to the regular programs,
there were several activities of a cultural and enrichment nature. They
include:
FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS—The Festival of the Arts was organized by the
parents of the Phillips School children. On Wednesday, June 14th, every
child participated in several of the following special activities: macrame,
335
fence weaving, drama, wood and clay sculpture, face painting and a mock
Town Meeting. Local artists volunteered their time and talents to the day.
METRIC DAY — On May 19th the students and parents celebrated an
annual Metric Day Kite Fair. All students made kites using metric
measurements with the assistance of the Media Department. Victory
Field provided us with ample opportunity and space for a successful day.
WINTERFEST — The Phillips School children studies via written mater-
ials, films, filmstrips and demonstrations the geographical, physical,
historical and cultural aspects of our two neighbors Canada and Mexico.
For one month children were asked to read, write and view a great deal Uf
material written about both countries.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS — In addition to a number of sports
activities sponsored by the Recreation Department, children were allowed
to participate in a variety of programs sponsored by the Phillips School
Community organization. Included were arts and crafts, drama, dance and
pottery.
CHRISTMAS FAIR AND CONCERT — The Music Department of the
Watertown Public Schools sponsored a Christmas concert featuring the
mini-singers glee club, orchestra and band. Parents were invited to watch
their children perform and then participate in the annual fair allowing
children to purchase home-made gifts for the holidays.
PILOT LUNCH PROGRAM — For the first time Phillips School children
participated in the Town's new lunch program. The hot lunches are
brought to the auditorium from the High School's kitchen and sold to
children on a weekly basis. The new program has been quite successful.
NEW STAFF — New staff assigned to the Phi;iips School include John
Demirjian, music; William Fratto, physical education; Paula Novis,
speech; Elizabeth Connors, sewing; and Sheri Jones, resource.
CURRICULUM DEPARTMENTS
ART
The following brief statements note a few highlights of the progress within
the Art Department for 1978:
1. A temporary set-back of our photography program has been effected
as a result of the dismantling and removal from campus of the Civil
336
Defense trailer loaned to the school department the previous year for
use as a photography lab. This action was a result of the impending
construction of the high school addition. Our present location is most
inadequate and we are looking forward to a new facility in the new
addition.
2. As a result of the continued pressure on the school budget, our depart-
ment experienced a reduction in staff for the third consecutive year.
However, due to a heavy student enrollment and inadequate staff
coverage, the School Committee replaced a half position this Novem-
ber to help eliminate the problems.
3. Our annual art Exhibit at the Watertown Mall was a complete success
with the addition of three dimensional art projects to our previous
two dimensional format.
4. In order to satisfy student requests, the High School art course offer-
ings were revised making it more flexible for students to elect a
smaller number of selections with the equivalent credit.
5. Following the report to the Markle Foundation of our second year of
the collaborative study with Project Zero, Harvard University; "Chil-
dren &the World of Television", we are making preparations for the
third and final year of this project.
ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS
During 1978 the English/Language Arts Department has implemented the
7-12 curriculum guide completed in 1977 and is now working on a K-6
guide due for completion in 1979.
New elective courses at Watertown High School are Creative Writing and
Basic Composition. These courses are offered in addition to Acting I,
II, and III. All electives are supplements to the required English course.
The public library continues to serve the school department through the
English Department with fall field trips to the library for all sixth grade
classes and spring field trips for all seventh grade English classes. The
library also provides curriculum-related films in a spring festival.
Stress on writing has continued. In 1978 more teachers took the in-service
course in writing successfully offered in 1977. In addition to department-
wide publication of student writing, there have been classroom and school
publications.
Many students have participated in dramatic activities. Some of the major
337
ones were the senior play and a musical at the Senior High School in the
spring and a play at West Junior High School in the fall.
MATHEMATICS
The Mathematics department at present is in the first year of a two year
program to revise and update its entire curriculum from Kindergarten
through grade 12.
Two workshops in July of 1978 successfully revised and updated the K-6
Elementary Curriculum Guide and the 7-9 Junior High School Curriculum
Guide. These are presently in use and being evaluated. A workshop
is planned for July of 1979 to revise the Senior High School Curriculum.
A fifteen week in-service course is presently in progress to develop sup-
plementary materials to enhance the K-9 program. Teacher response to
this in-service course was very high and many were placed on reserve call.
Over thirty-five teachers are meeting every Monday afternoon from
3:00 to 5:00 p.m. under the capable direction of Watertown school staff
members. The fifteen week program is broken down into three - five week
sessions. Three national experts in mathematics education are planned
speakers to start each session.
A new course was added to the curriculum at the High School in September
of 1978. This new course in Business Mathematics is consumer oriented
and deals with the every day mathematics of taxes, retail sales, home
mortgages and determining interest and monthly payments and loans.
Two classes elected this course this year and from the response to date the
department is expecting many more will be electing this course next year.
The 1978-79 school year opened with new State Department of Education
regulations on Basic Skills Improvement and Development of Minimum
Competency Tests for High School Graduation. Mathematics is one of the
areas to be studied and tested. Several committees are now studying the
implications of these new state regulations as it affects the Watertown
schools. Three specialized subcommittees in the subject areas covered by
the State Regulations and one overall town-wide committee are meeting
regularly to make sure that the Watertown School System meets all the
requirements of the new state regulations.
MEDIA DEPARTMENT
The Media Department has undergone several major changes in the past
year. With the resignation of Inabeth Miller, Mr. John G. Flores was
appointed Director of Media Services and most staff members were re-
assigned.
338
Innovative programs have continued to be initiated by the Media Depart-
ment. In particular the Media Department has introduced alcohol educa-
tion projects at all schools as well as specialized course instruction in
animation and visual literacy.
During the summer the Media Department conducted a basic library skills
workshop. Materials were created that will help to teach children basic
reference, cataloging and classification skills.
The Armenian bilingual grant FROM ARARAT TO AMERICA was funded
successfully for the second year. This grant was originally prepared by the
Foreign Language and Media Departments. A summer materials work-
shop, funded by the grant, created materials for secondary students grade
7-12. Areas of concentration included health, government, consumerism,
social behavior and arts and humanities. These materials are helping
newly arrived Armenian bilingual students to overcome their language
barrier and overall culture shock.
During the past year the Media Department has worked closely with the
firm, Architectural Resources, in designing and developing the plans for
the new media center addition at Watertown High School. In anticipation
of the new facility, the Media Department sponsored an Instructional
Materials Fair for secondary school teachers. This was an excellent
opportunity for the high school staff to select and preview new materials
which will be housed in the new library media center.
As in the past the Media Department has cooperated with the Reading
Department and the various P.T.O.'s in the Reading Is Fundamental
Program. Free books were distributed to many students which helps to
improve and reinforce the library reading program.
The Media Department's film collection also continues to be utilized by all
schools and many town departments. Mr. Joseph McManus, AN Depart-
ment Head, has coordinated selected programs with the fire department-
police department - the public library - the department of elderly, the
Watertown Mall and other town agencies.
The Watertown School Media Department continues to service all aspects
of the community. With the anticipation of the continued support from the
School Department administration as well as the teachers - students -
parents and community at large, the Media's Department's future remains
optimistic.
MUSIC
The Music Department continues its efforts to maintain a well-rounded
musical enrichment program throughout the schools of Watertown in spite
339
of decreasing school population, reduction in.force, budget cuts and lack
of good physical space so necessary to a healthy program.
The enrollment in the music programs at the elementary and junior high
levels is still on the increase and this is an encouraging sign in view of a
declining enrollment. The Watertown High School music program is still
extremely low in numbers. This area is one of our main concerns and with
be a large part of our efforts for the future.
The Music Department has had two staff resignations during this school
year and this has put a burden on the department. With the increase of
various new programs at the elementary level, time and space remain an
increasing burden for the music teachers. At the junior high level schedul-
ing is still not adequate for our program and our hopes are that it will
improve as our increasing enrollment in music groups certainly warrants
it. Our problems at the junior high level indirectly affect our high school
program, thus we are making every effort to evaluate and improve the
entire secondary level.
There is much work and improvement to be done in the vocal and instru-
mental departments and we are optimistic that it will be accomplished
through the efforts and cooperation of the entire school department.
OCCUPATIONAL EDUCATION
The ultimate goal of all teaching is the education of the whole person.
Occupational Education has a special contribution to make to this total
education. It must stand upon the demonstrated values it is especially
adapted to attain; it must be coordinated, intergrated, and related to other
subject areas in the development of the total educational process.
Occupational Education is the integral part of the whole program of edu-
cation designed to aid students in acquiring a comprehension of the world
of work. It has as its social purpose a greater understanding and better
control of the phenomena of technology. The educated purpose of today's
ever-changing society must understand how man uses materials, tools and
scientific techniques to fashion the world in which he lives, and be able
to communicate intelligently with others about these developments.
The purpose of Occupational Education is to assure that every student
leaving.school will be prepared either for higher education or for job entry
into a modern occupation. In correlation with this philosophy, the fol-
lowing concepts have been implemented during the past year.
The Business Education Department has implemented a cooperative work
experience program and an exploratory program in word processing. This
340
program has combined office training and work experience in a simulated
office program in the Business Education Department. The department
has purchased a word processing unit to prepare students for changing
technology in today's business world. This word processing unit is to
convey to the student what word processing is and what effect it has on the
office environment and to acquaint students with the hands-on operation
and capabilities of word processing typewriters.
A recent review of job opportunities in the Watertown area has indicated
many possible work-stations for word processing operators. Professional
men, business firms, and managers of light industry have indicated a
desire to participate in this new cooperative work experience area.
This new program has allowed the Business Education Department the
opportunity to evaluate its total curriculum and to redesign the curriculum
for present-day competencies, especially in office automation.
To insure the optimum in quality education for the students of Watertown,
the Occupational Education Department of the Watertown Public Schools
has successfully sought and received competitive grants through the
Division of Occupational Education, State Department of Education. The
following is a brief synopsis of each grant:
MODEL HOMEMAKING EDUCATION SUITE—This course is especially
designed to expose students to practical training meant to encourage them
to share family responsibility, both at the present state of their lives and
in the future.
A SYNTHESIS FOR OCCUPATIONAL GUIDANCE—The goal of this pro-
gram is to give students an awareness to the world of work and develop
working relations with business, industry and labor in order to:
1) provide a vital link between school developed courses and community
resources
2) provide learning experience within occupations, identify routes of
access to promotions, and develop necessary skills and realistic
alternatives
WATERTOWN OCCUPATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER— This proposal,
by creating a Watertown Occupational Resource Center, will increase
students' skills and abilities as well as foster self-awareness. A student
will be capable of securing meaningful employment or will be stimulated
to pursue additional avenues of educational opportunities. This innovative
approach to Occupational Education will provide students with entry-level
skills through hands-on experience in a realistic environment.

PUPIL PERSONNEL SERVICES
Watertown Public Schools Pupil Personnel Services Department continues
to employ a staff of specialists from many disciplines to carry out coopera-
tion with teachers, principals and outside agencies in planning programs
for all Watertown children, both special needs and regular enrollees.
This year direct service is being given to approximately seventeen percent
of the school population identified to be special needs children.
System-wide pre-school screening is required under the Special Education
Law. This year twenty-four children were screened; only two required
further evaluation. Two hundred and seventy-three kindergarten children
were screened of whom fifty-four are being given further diagnosis.
In an effort to return to Watertown children who were in outside programs,
a self-contained Resource class was started at the Phillips School for six
intermediate age students. This supplements our Diagnostic Kindergarten
at the Coolidge School and our Pre-Vocational/Life Skills Laboratory class
at Watertown High School.
On-going collaborative programs with schools and universities that have
been operating successfully again this year include: a special education
collaborative with Arlington and Belmont, which provides for exchange of
students tuition-free; Beaverbrook Therapeutic Nursery; and the EdCo
Collaboratives: PROJECT SPACE — a full academic and work/study
program off-campus, PROJECT SATELLITE— an after-school program to
provide pre-vocational training in the area of food service, building main-
tenance, woodworking and small engines, and PROJECT ALLIED
HEALTH CAREERS — that provides students with an opportunity to
receive in-depth exposure to a variety of medical careers at Mount Auburn
Hospifal.
Career Education continues to be a major emphasis in our high school
guidance program. At Watertown High School a console terminal is linked
to the MASSACHUSETTS OCCUPATIONAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
(MOIS), Boston, Massachusetts to provide updated career information
through a computer printout. Both public and private school students have
access to this information system when they wish to obtain information
about jobs and training opportunities in the New England area. This
spring we plan to have a Career Day at the high school with representatives
of fifty different careers. Each student will have an opportunity to explore
three (3) careers that interest him/her. A Mini-Technical/Vocational
School Day will also be conducted with representatives from more than
twenty different schools in the area. Last Spring we also conducted a
Nursing Conference with four (4) types of nursing programs. In the Fall
a COLLEGE NIGHT was held at the high school; more than eighty different
342
colleges were represented. Over five hundred students, including private
school students and parents, attended.
System-wide testing was expanded this year by the addition of more diag-
nostic testing. Besides the regular achievement batteries administered as
usual at GRADES III, VI and 1X level, diagnostic reading and math tests
were administered to GRADES IX and XII in order to identify strengths
and weaknesses for remedial purposes. This year, for the first time, we
also administered the Educational Testing Service Basic Competency Tests
to GRADE VIII students at the two junior high schools and again used the
results for remedial planning.
FEDERAL FUNDING — Federal money is now available through new
legislation. Public Law #94-142 entitled EDUCATION FOR ALL THE
HANDICAPPED finances projects supplemental to ordinary programs for
special needs children. One of such funded programs is PROJECT PACE,
a career education design in the model of an alternative high school
program first developed in 1977 to prevent high school dropouts.
Public Law #89-313 ... Title I, Elementary and Secondary Act has funded
for us a position for a Transitional Resource Instructor to work with stu-
dents returning to the community from State institutions.
We are concerned with special needs students who may be heading toward
a supervised or a "sheltered"workshop. In order to assist all special needs
students as they pass through the school system and at the time of their
departure, we have arranged, through the Comprehensive Employment
Training Act, to provide the services of a Rehabilitation Counselor. She
has worked intensively with high school age students in the LIFE SKILLS
LABORATORY.
The Guidance Department at Watertown High School conducted their
annual follow-up study of the senior class summarized in TABLE I and
TABLE II.
Of the three hundred and fifty-four students in the graduating class of
1977, two hundred and forty-six or 69.49 percent indicated plans to enter
some form of higher education or a post high school training program.
Of the remaining students, one hundred and eight or 30.51 percent in-
dicated plans for immediate employment, eight entered military service
and twenty-six were undecided.
The following tables indicate the types of education programs and occu-
pational fields students planned to enter:

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, 6.8 percent of students dropped out. In the class of
1978,therefore, the holding power of Watertown High School is 93.2.
Since last May, a major effort of Pupil Personnel Services has been to
follow-the new directive of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health
(May, 1978) that all children, Kindergarten through GRADE XII, must be
immunized from the common childhood diseases in order to remain in
school. During the summer, two thousand letters were addressed to
parents whose children needed one or more of the immunizations.
Eighteen free clinics were conducted in the Town of Watertown. Of the
4,560 Watertown school children only sixty-eight had to be excluded until
344
immunization was accomplished and the majority of these students were
from Watertown High School.
In summary, Pupil Personnel Services is attempting to serve all Water-
town Public School children Kindergarten to Grade XII, to monitor their
health needs, safeguard their school records, and to provide remedial
help for those children identified as having special needs.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION, HEALTH AND ATHLETICS
PHYSICAL EDUCATION — Co-education classes are progressing in a
satisfactory manner. The new State law requiring 100 minutes per week
for grades 1-12 and 50 minutes for the Kindergarten, has been waived
for one year.
ATHLETICS — The Cross-Country team finished a successful season with
a 7-2 record in the Middlesex League.
HEALTH—The health classes are operating satisfactorily.
READING DEPARTMENT
The Reading Department in the Watertown Public Schools is comprised
of eleven professionally trained reading staff, a Director of Reading and
ten reading consultants.
There is a system-wide reading curriculum which is structured and se-
quential. At the elementary level heavy emphasis is placed on the
decoding aspects of the reading process as well as the sequential develop-
ment of comprehension and study skills.
In grade six all youngsters are screened before they attend the junior
high school. The results of this screening are then examined and any
youngster whose screening data reveals severe weaknesses is then
scheduled to matriculate in a reading improvement course at the junior
high school. This is an intensive reading lab program for one year.
The junior high school reading program is based on the utilization of two
modern and fully equipped reading labs. The seventh-grade reading
program is structured to provide intensive reading instruction for seriously
disabled readers. The eighth and ninth grade reading program is an
elective one whereby students can elect to take reading by choice.
The senior high school has a fully equipped reading lab and serves all
students who elect to take reading. This year a new program was initiated
at the high school and it is called project SHAIRS (Senior High Assess-
345
ment and Improvement of Reading Survival Skills). Youngsters enrolled
in this program were screened in the. ninth grade and the results of the
screening indicate a need for further reading instruction. This is now a
required program.
This year the Director of Reading developed a special study skills project
called Project GRASSP (Growth in Reading through an Action Study
Skills Program). Selected loth grade classes in science and social studies
participated in this structured program and the results indicate that stu-
dents have prospered from this program. Plans are currently being for-
mulated to expand this program.
Home Base School is continuing to provide a comprehenisve reading
program. The reading program is an integral part of the total language
arts program. The teaching of basic skills is now a vital aspect of this
program.
SCIENCE
As a result of a yearly review of the science curriculum, the 'core' cur-
ricula for grade 1 and Kindergarten have been modified. A new unit on
MAGNETS has been introduced in grade 1, replacing BALANCING I.
Concepts and activities from the magazine SCIENCELAND have been in-
corporated into the Kindergarten curriculum, replacing the unit on LIFE
OF BEANS.
In the spring of 1978, the National Aeronautics & Space Administration
(NASA) Spacemobile visited Lowell and Hosmer Schools. Students
enjoyed the assembly program and classroom visits by the NASA scientist.
They saw models of future spacecrafts, rockets and satellites and they
learned about current research projects on space travel and rocket fuel.
Dr. Julia Wan, Director of Science, and Mr. William Corbett, Principal of
Lowell School, are authors of an article entitled "The Liaison Teacher
Extends the Science Director's Effectiveness," which appeared in the
October 1978 issue of the Magazine SCIENCE & CHILDREN. The article
describes how the liaison teacher program works in the Watertown Public
Schools.
A new course, FOUNDATIONS OF PHYSICAL SCIENCE, designed for
grade 9 students who have difficulties in academic work, has been imple-
mented in the junior high schools. The individualized and small group
approaches of the program have been very effective. Students have
enjoyed and mastered many basic chemistry and physics concepts.
As a culmination of the grade 7 Life Science program, 84 students from
East Junior High School went on a three day Environmental/Outdoor
346
Education camping trip to Cape Cod in June. Activities during the trip
included an ecological study of the seashore and salt marsh conducted by
Mr.-George Buckley of Watertown High School. The trip was coordinated
by Mr.Thomas Wittenhagen, science teacher at East Junior High School.
Watertown High School student, Dolores Savignano won second prize
award in Environmental Science at the 1978 Massachusetts State Science
Fair. She was selected as one of two Massachusetts delegates to the
National Youth Science Camp in West Virginia. Ms. Savignano's research
project was one of five papers selected for presentation at the New England
Junior Science and Humanities Symposium held at University of Massa-
chusetts, Amherst.
Ms. Helen Foynes, biology teacher at Watertown High School, has
developed an innovative project using the computer for diet analysis.
Students from her honors and second year biology classes record their
daily diet for three days. They type the diet information into the computer
which has been programmed to tell each student what food category is
deficient in his/her diet. Mr. John Gallagher, computer programmer,
worked with Ms. Foynes in adapting the program to the Watertown
computer.
SOCIAL STUDIES
The Social Studies Department-is presently in the process of "filling the
gaps" in its curricula by providing staff and students with current, in-
formative and useful methods and materials. An example of this is the
new elementary social studies activity guide which was designed to aid
the classroom teacher by providing suggestions and activities relative to
the present elementary social studies curriculum. Every effort was made
to provide educationally sound, practical, stimulating and manageable
activities for the teaching of social studies.
On the secondary level, the Social Studies Department has taken on the
task of improving the writing skills of its students. The staff has been
taking an active part in writing skills workshops conducted at regular
department meetings. Means and methods to improve staff skills relative
to student evaluation has also been a priority of the Social Studies Depart-
ment.
For the second consecutive year, the Social Studies Department was
selected as workshop presenters at the Northeastern Regional Conference
on Social Studies. The first workshop was titled "Hung Up? Stretched
Out? Done In?" and dealt with reading problems and social studies.
Richard J. Najarian, Director of Social Studies, and Dr. Carmen Quin-
tiliani, Director of Reading, were the presenters of this session. The
347
second workshop was titled "History Isn't Boring: Its a Medieval Fair."
The presenter of this workshop was Ms. Virginia Graham, assisted by
other staff and by the director of social studies.
In summary, every effort is being made to continually revise and update
the social studies curriculum to keep it a meaningful and viable discipline;
to improve the social studies skills of our students and to enhance and
perpetuate the essence of the Watertown Social Studies Department
throughout the Northeast.
WATERTOWN EVENING SCHOOL
William M. Laughrea, Principal
The Watertown Evening School started its school year 1978-79 with
registration and the beginning of classes during the week of September
I Ith. A total of 1,237 people registered in the forty-seven different courses
that are being offered. Some courses are held twice a week and a few of
the very popular courses are offered three times a week.
The Watertown Evening High School is a program set up for students of
all ages who are interested in receiving their high school diplomas. Stu-
dents also enroll in these courses for various other reasons. There is a
total enrollment in this program of seventy students - forty-four diploma
students, nineteen non-diploma students, two senior citizens, and five
special students from Watertown High School.
Classes are held at Watertown High School on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday evenings. Classes are also held at West Junior High School on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
The Watertown Evening School has initiated a new course geared es-
pecially to the adult with special needs. The title of this course is "Practical
Money Management." An organizational meeting was held with social
workers from the various half-way houses in the town to outline the objec-
tives of the course and to see what students would best benefit from it.
The registration fee for the Watertown Evening School was increased from
$10.00 to $15.00 for residents and from $20.00 to $25.00 for non-residents.
Registration receipts amounted to $14,460.00 as of September 29, 1978.
This money has been turned over to the Town Treasurer's Account.

THE WATERTOWN TOWN HALL IN 90
ANNUAL REPORT
of the
TOWN AUDITOR
I
WATERTOWN
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING
JUNE 30 , 1978
AUDITOR'S REPORT
I herewith present the report of the financial transactions of the
Town of Watertown for the fiscal period from July 1, 1977 through
June 30, 1978.
The various funds in the hands of the Town Treasurer, including
those of the Trustees of the Free Public Library have been examined and
found correct.
During the year, I have made periodic examinations of the outstanding
accounts of the Collector of Taxes, and I have found them in agreement with
the controls in my office.
The Department of Corporations and Taxation has certified the amount
of available funds or "free cash" at the end of this fiscal year to be in
the amount of $821,510.00. A good deal of this amount was appropriated
at a Special Town Meeting to implement salary increases as a result of
collective bargaining agreements.
The outstanding debt at the close of business June 30, 1978 was in
the amount of $5,100,000.00. However, please note that in its wisdom,
Town Meeting has authorized an additional amount of $10,500,000.00 to
be incurred.
For the first time, the Town engaged a private audit firm, Touche,
Ross, Inc., to audit the books and accounts of the Town for this same
fiscal period. This audit will be contained in the Annual Town Report.
I would like to express my appreciation to my staff for a job well
done, and my thanks to employees and administrators of all departments
for their excellent cooperation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
