SELECTMEN'S REPORT

In August, 1962, the Chief of Police, Joseph L. Pynenburg,submitted his resignation. It became necessary for the Board of

Selectmen to find someone to fill this vacancy and accordingly ap-

pointed Frank R. Flanders, who had been a former Chief of Police

of Merrimack, to fill the office until the next Town Meeting.

It is the unanimous opinion of the Board of Selectmen that the

Town of Merrimack has arrived at a point in its development wherea full-time Police Department is required, and accordingly haveinserted an article in the warrant to create a permanent Police De-partment with full-time officers, and further recommend that the

appointive power for the Chief of Police be vested in the Board of

Selectmen rather than an elective office.

At the time Chief Flanders was appointed it became necessary

to provide transportation for the Police Department and accord-

ingly the Board of Selectmen, feeling that an emergency existed,

purchased a new Chevrolet police cruiser for the exclusive use of

the Police Department and are recommending to the voters approv-

al of their action.

Through the courtesy of Mr. Orrin Connell a Chevrolet car

was made available to the Town of Merrimack for use as a police

cruiser at cost, which represented a very substantial saving to the

Town.

The Boy Scouts of Troop ^15 have undertaken the project of

painting the Merrimack cemetery fence and have completed aboutone-half of the fence, and propose to complete the rest in the

spring. This represents a truly worth-while project and is evidence

of the place the Boy Scouts occupy in the training of our youngpeople.

The citizens of Merrimack, through their Selectmen, ha\e ex-

pressed their appreciation to Miss Abbie Griffin for the gift of a

fence at the Reeds Cemetery in South Merrimack. A wrought iron

fence set in cement has been erected along the Camp Sargent Roadat the Cemetery through the generosity of Miss Griffin.

In accordance with the vote at last Town fleeting, the Boardof Selectmen purchased a piece of land containing a gravel bankfrom Harry Watkins. This purchase should assiu'e the Town of a

reasonable supply of gravel for its highways for the next few years.

15

During 1962 the Selectmen utilized the funds made available

for the remodelling of the upstairs Town Hall and secured a newfire-proof curtain for the stage, together with three hundred newsteel folding chairs in addition to ne\v window shades. It is the

opinion of the Selectmen that this represents a marked improve-

ment in our Town buildings and provides a small meeting hall for

use by the various organizations.

The Federal Government approved the sum of $11,500.00 as

a grant to the To\vn for the purpose of studying and planning for

a sewage disposal system. The Board of Selectmen have retained

the Anderson-Nichols Engineering firm of Boston and Concord,New Hampshire, for the purpose of making a preliminary survey

and recommending a plan of action for the construction of a sew-

age disposal plant. The amount of the Federal grant is interest free

and is repayable to the Federal Government at such time as the

Town decides to proceed with the construction of a sewer system.

In 1962 the To^vn sold five acres of the Mastricola property to

the Lowell Lumber Company who ha\^e brought a new warehouseto the Town of Merrimack.

In October 1962 the Board of Selectmen sold at public auction

all of the property \vhich has been acquired through tax sales andrealized a substantial amount over and above the amount of taxes

due from this sale.

The Board of Selectmen wishes to express its sincere apprecia-

tion for the long and untiring efforts in behalf of the Town of Mer-rimack on the part of the former Chief of Police, Joseph L.

Pynenburg.

In December 1962 the Tewksbuiy Wood Products Companycommenced operation in the manufacture of furniture in the Greggplant and are -welcomed to Merrimack as its newest industry.

Sixty-nine single dwelling building permits were issued during

1962.

MERRIMACK POLICE DEPARTMENT

It was with a feeling of regret, but with due consideration that

I decided to resign as Chief of Police of Merrimack, Sept 1, 1962.

I want to thank the people of Merrimack who voted for me andput their trust in me.

With the increase of residents and (Dogs) police activities hadreached a point where it was involving so much of my time bothday and night, that it was interferring with my family living, andbusiness. In fact it was fast becoming a full time job. I could not

neglect my duty as Chief, neither could I turn my back on mybusiness, which is my livelihood, therefore I felt the only fair thing

to do vras to step down.

I am vev}^ interested in the Town of Merrimack and wouldlike to feel that in the years I served in this capacity I did some good,

especially with the young people and juvenile problems.

During the past eight months, namely Jan. 1 to Aug. 31, 1962

while I was in office, this dept. spent $3,533.75. Reimbursement to

the town by the two industrial plants for guard duty, two nights a

week amounted to $859.75. There were 197 bicycles registered dur-

ing this time, therefore the dept. received $98.50 which helped to

defray cost of printing registration certificates and license tags.

Actual expenditure $2,575.50 — 542 calls answered.

432^2 hours were detailed to school patrol, amt. paid out for

this service was $661.77. One officer ^vas on duty at Thornton's

Ferry" in the morning and an officer was on duty twice a day at

Keistlingers store, while school was in session.

Officer Leonard Englehardt who is also a Sgt, on the Manches-ter police dept. gave his time and his help to the M.P.D. ^\•ithout

cost to the town. I would like to express my thanks to him for

his assistance.

At this time I ^vould also like to commend Inspector ThomasDutton for his many faithful years with the dept. He was a very

reliable police officer and regardless of the tiine he was called, night

or day, never refused to come out or to assist when needed. I felt

very fortunate and feel Merrimack was fortunate to have this manon the police dept.

66

My sincere thanks to all the men who worked with me, inclu-

ding the surrounding towns, other depts. especially State Police andNashua P. D. for their many courtesies and prompt ambulanceser\dce.

This being my last report to the people of Merrimack in this

capacity, I would like once again to bring to your attention andurge you to consider and weigh carefully the need of a fulltime

department. You have a start with the new cruiser. Merrimack is

growing wdth the years, new homes, new schools, new business, andan increase constantly in the population, and we must grow with it.

trol, will amount to approximately $6,000.00. Therefore, we find our

$4,700.00 appropriation inadequate, and are requesting an increase

of $3,000.00 in our appropriation.

We appreciate the support that the townspeople have gi\-en us

at any money raising social functions during the past year. This has

enabled us to purchase extra equipment, such as; helmets, coats,

boots, and a hose clamp. The total of money spent \\as $550.25 onthese various articles.

On May 16th, the Gate City Poultry Company was destroyed

by fire. We feel that through the usual co-operation and teamworkfrom the citizens of Merrimack, State and Local Police, and sur-

rounding Fire Departments that this fire was extinguished without

serious injury or more extensive damage. It is through this com-bined effort that you can help your volunteer fire department to

keep Merrimack a safer place in which to live.

In case of fire dial 4-5571. State location of fire. Do everything

you can to keep the fire from spreading. Keep buildings closed as

much as possible, and upon arrival of fire department, give theminformation which may be of help to them.

Please keep all roads open so trucks can go and come at will,

without being hindered by cars parked in the road.

GEORGE J. ALLGAIER,

Fire Department Chief

PREVENTING FOREST FIRES IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Costs of suppressing carelessly set outdoor fires in New Hainpshire in 1962 cost the persons responsible $5,545. In the sarnf

period, the cost to the cities and towns for control of such fires for

which no responsibility could be placed cost another $24,634. Whatutter waste of tax money and what shameful and needless loss ot

timber and esthetic values in the 2,200 acres burned. Residences,

farms, and other business places were threatened with possible

total destruction.

Carelessly set man caused fires can be prevented if every

citizen remembers his responsibility in regard to any source of

fires in the open. We can help to keep our fire loss low by remem-bering these simple rules.

1. Dispose of burnable waste at the town dump.2. If waste or brush is to be burned on the premises, obtain a

permit from the forest fire warden. Seasonal permits maybe issued incinerators and sites.

3. Burn safely by picking a clean site, avoiding dry windyweather and preferably burning late in the day.

4. Have something to keep the fire under control — pails of

water, garden hose, sprinkling can, broom for grass fires

or shovel will help.

5. Be sure your fire is dead out before you leave it.

6. If the fire gets out of control or if you see a fire out of

control, report promptly to your warden or fire depart-

ment. Continue to fight it until help arrives.

There is potential danger when matches fall into the hands of

children. It is never too early for parents to instill in the child's

mind a respect for fire.

Keep our town safe from fire.

In 1962 we had 19 fires. We burned 6^i acres. Permits

issued: 90.

LIBRARY REPORT

It is good to report that library activities have stepped upconsiderably over the past year. This makes for over-crowdedconditions especially in the children's section where there is lack of

"stack space."

The Book-Mobile has been visiting the library as before andduring the year we have borrowed 580 books to add to our selec-

tions.

From the State Library at Concord, we have borrowed 15

books. When requesting books from the State Library the postage

is paid from Concord — the borrower is expected to pay the return

postage. All requests are forwarded to Concord when submitted to

the Librarian.

The Schools by classes continue to attend the library onWednesdays with the senior students studying in the evenings. Un-fortunately this year, there has been disturbance caused by several

teen-agers necessitating police assistance in keeping order. This

situation appears to be a prevalent condition in many small com-munities.

To better serve the public the library hours were changed fromSaturday evenings to Monday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. This has

proved an excellent exchange.

National Book Week was observed in April with a display of

nev/ books.

National Library Week was held in November. This year, for

the first time, there was an "Art Exhibit" with Mrs. Wm. Akrep,

Mrs. Kay Carson, Mrs. June Church, Mrs. Mary Gates, Mrs. Carol

MacArthur, Miss Joyce West, David Price and juniors Paul Arnold

and Arden Powers, bringing in samples of their \vork for display.

Mrs. Ethel Smith loaned several books on the different "facets of

Art."

This year we had a "Weeding Workshop" discarding manybooks out-dated or worn-out over the years. This will be obsenedin the number of books discarded. Some of these ha\e been sold

with the money going toward the purchase of new books or re-

placing necessary copies.

ANNUAL REPORT FROM STATE NURSE

During the year of 1962, nursing visits in your town have beenmade for the purpose of heahh supervision to infants, preschoolchildren, and adults.

The advent of the Sa^bin oral vaccine for immunization against

polio was one of the medical highlights of 1962. Children, from the

ages of 6 weeks to 6 years, received their "drinks" at the MerrimackMedical Center. Three successive clinics were held under the

direction of Dr. Lionel Lavoie.

It is with deep gratitude that I express my thanks to the

Doctors, the town officials, the school nurse, and the many, willing

volunteers. Their cooperative effort and support were essential to

the success of the health program.

Office hours are held from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., Monday-Friday,in the office which is located at 277 Main St. in Nashua, for those

who mis^ht wish to talk to me. Contact may be made by phone at

TU 2-3871.

Respectfully submitted,

NEL GETCHELPublic Health Nurse

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH

No serious health problems arose in 1962.

There v/as the usual run of infectious diseases, measles only

of epidemic proportions. Several cases of infectious hepatitis werereported. These were not serious and not of epidemic proportions.

The Town water supply was reported satisfactory for drinking

purposes.

There has been considerable new home construction and each

new home has to have the inspection of the se\\age disposal system.

All met the requirements of the State Board of Health.

Several homes applied for foster children. These homes wereinspected and found adequate.

One home was inspected because of a complaint from neigh-

bors that the dry well was overflowing and creating a nuisance. Theowner was advised to remedy the situation and immediatey com-plied.

CIVIL DEFENSE

The Merrimack Civil Defense unit was headed by two Direc-

tors during 1962, Selectman Herschel Cox followed by W. R. Hallwho, in October, volunteered to act as Director pending the ap-

pointment of a full-time Director.

Apathy on the part of the community, with the exception of a

few^ CD unit leaders, has hindered the planning program.A trailer-mounted electric generator with an acquisition cost

to the government of $6,000.00 was procured through the surplus

program at a cost of $250.00 to the Tow^n. This equipment is avail-

able for any emergency use. Also obtained through the same pro-

gram were three pistol-grip spotlights, and wall lockers for the

Police Department.Projects for 1963 are:

Obtaining a CD RACES radio unit at a cost of $200.00Establishing a CD office in the ToAvn Hall

Conducting refresher radiological courses

Training the medical unit in the medical self aid programTraining of auxiliary firemen and policemen

Completion of the school evacuation plan

Location of an emergency operating center

Items on requisition through the surplus program are:

1. Auxiliary generator with floodlights

2. Ambulance3. Radio equipment4. Lights for eniergency vehicles

5. CD office equipmentW. R. HALL

SCHOOL BOARD REPORT

The School Boards in complying with the vote of the District at

the last Annual Meeting, established a full time Remedial ReadingProgram. We are satisfied with the progress in this area, in that

over 50 students are being given this necessary attention. Results

are appreciated in great measure when these students resume their

places in their normal reading classes.

The surfacing of the parking area between the High School

Auditorium and the Mastricola School has been completed with the

special drainage and yard lighting.

The yard lighting problem brought us to the decision of

changing our old metering system to a primary metering system.

This means that all of our High School and Mastricola School light-

ing, as well as our yard lighting to date, is registered through onemeter. There has been an initial expenditure of $983.89 for the

changeover and the yard lighting installation. We own the yardlighting and it is not rented. We anticipate a savings of $500.00 per

year in our annual lighting cost based upon current consumption.

On November 4, 1962, a dedication of the Mastricola School

was held in the afternoon. The Merrimack School Band partici-

pated. The American Legion presented a new flag to the school.

The New Hampshire Commissioner of Education, Dr. Rich, wasthe principal speaker. The school was opened for inspection.

Due to unexpected increase in enrollment in the first grade andin the junior high area, two additional teachers were added to ourstaff in the fall. This expenditure accounts for this year's deficit in

operation cost, since it was not anticipated.

Actually should a savings be accomplished in other items of the

budget, we shall apply this after our books close on June 30, 1963

against the total amount to be raised by Town Taxes for our 1963— 1964 budget.

Our increase in budget for 1963-1964 is entirely due to the

planned addition of five more teachers to our staff. Together with

the extra monies to be paid the present teaching staff, according to

the revised teachers salary schedule, and the necessary paymentsfor the retirement and social security benefits, the new budget is

readily explained. One additional bus must be secured for the

larger number of students in the coming year and to relieve the

present crowded conditions.

100

The following figures point out the reasons for variance in our

new 1963-1964 budget over the previous year. It also explains the

deficit which we are requesting for the 1962-1963 fiscal year ending

June 30, 1963.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

To the School Board and Citizens of Merrimack I submit with

pleasure my eighth annual report.

Have you ever experienced that "inner glow" feeling of finding

that something you had dreaded as being unpleasant and frustrat-

ing could be rewarding and even fun? If you have, you will enjoy

stopping in at the James Mastricola School's "Fun Room" andwatching the faces of youngsters as they participate in their

remedial reading class. Or have you ever seen how challenging it

can be to present a Science or Math lesson on closed circuit tele-

vision? Or have you watched teachers open the door on ModemMath to little first and second graders? If not, I would advise youto visit your schools and the many fine things that are going on, for

the above are iust a few of them.

Merrimack is on the march; you are all part of the m.arch andcan take pride in that fact. If you will take the time to re-read myopening remarks in my last year's report you have probably al-

ready braced yourself for the needs of the coming year. Let us take

a look.

In 1962-63 we are operating with a fifth grade class in the high

school and two grade six sections in the Merrimack Grammar. In

1963-64 there shall be a need for two additional elementary tea-

chers to meet the demands made by larger classes moving upthrough the system and the continued influx of new pupils trans-

ferring into the system. Larger classes progressing through the high

school have created a need for three additional teachers at that

level; more teachers require more teaching stations so the question

arises "w^hat shall we do with the grade 5 class that is currently in

the high school?" This is a problem whose solution the School

Board with the help of the Planning and Building Committee is

presenting for your approval at the District Meeting. In my mindit is a very sensible approach from both an educational and an ec-

onomical viewpoint.

NEW TEACHERS

Mrs. Barbara Walker, Lesley College, 1932, to replace Mrs.

Judith Blume, grade 2. Mrs. Blume resigned to be with her husbandwho v/as transferred to an out of state position. Mrs. Walker has

had many years of experience as a substitute teacher in Merrimackelementary schools.

Mrs. Virginia Taylor, B.Ed., K.T.C. 1955 as additional grade2 teacher has three years of successful teaching experience in gradesone and t^vo in Nashua.

102

Mrs. Beverly Pollard, Springfield College, B.S. in ElementaryEducation 1960 as additional teacher in grade one. Miss Pollard

came to us with two years previous experience in the schools of

Norway and England.

Mrs. Margaret Merrow, B.A. University of Maine 1949, as a

substitute teacher in Junior high Math and Science. Mrs. Merrowhas been doing an excellent job in a position I have been unable to

fill because of the shortage of certified Math and Science teachers.

We are indeed fortunate in having a teacher of Mrs. Merrow's cal-

iber who can do so well outside her chosen subject matter field.

REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS

Your School Board has again been forsighted in making re-

pairs as the need arises thereby keeping expenses to a minimum.There are the unusual unexpected plumbing failures, windowbreakage and minor repairs that no one can foresee, these will al-

ways be v/ith us. The blacktopping of the area between the twoschool has served many purposes (1) improved maintenance of

the Mastricola School (2) made a good play area during the mudand snow season (3) provided good parking area for school func-

tions. Placing the two schools on a Primary Meter system has

brought about a substantial savings to the school district in the cost

of electricity. Installation of night-watchman lights in strategic

areas is bound to cut down the possibility of vandalism. Newstorage cabinets in the science rooms (built by Pete Pinard at a

substantial savings to the school district) will aid materially in the

care and upkeep of science equipment. All these things have beendone for the benefits of economical operational costs.

EQUIPMENTWhenever possible new equipment has been purchased under

the NDEA program. A closed circuit camera, many pieces of Phys-

ics and Chemistry apparatus whose overall cost would have been

otherwise prohibitive. Guidance materials for a more comprehen-sive Guidance Program. Additional classroom furniture was pur-

chased to meet the needs created by increased enrollment. When-ever possible teachers desks, tables and other items are purchasedthrough N. H. Distributing Agency at a savings to the District.

INSTRUCTIONThe instructional program under the guidance of Teacher

Consultant, Raymond G. Edwards and Principals Dana Taylor andFrank Garrahan is progressing very satisfactorily. As Mr. Ed\vards

report follows in more detail I shall only say here that I have beenvery pleased with the way Principals and teachers have cooperated

103

with Mr. Edwards in furthering a sound up-to-date instructional

program. My confidence in your Teacher Consultant has been well

placed.

SCHOOL LUNCHWhere else will you find over 700 youngsters fed so well with

so little fanfare? I hope you will never take for granted the fine

^vork that George and his aides are doing every day of the school

year. My congratulations to them all.

LOOKING AHEADIt is the same old problem of keeping ahead of increased en-

rollment. In formulating a long range plan your School Board andPlanning Committee are proposing an additional 10 rooms be built

on the Mastricola School. This will bring the Mastricola school to

its maximum size and will provide classroom space for the four

sections in each grade that are now progressing through the elemen-

tary school. This is a wise decision for we are just one year awayfrom a necessary expansion on the Junior-Senior high school level.

In fact the high school will be lacking a teacher station even with

the moving of the present fifth grade out of that building into the

new elementary addition. Merrimack has reached the stage in

growth where it must plan as many years ahead as possible: this is

just what your School Board is proposing. They Avill need yourhelp.

In closing I ^vant to once again express my sincere apprecia-

tion to the School Board, citizens, and all school personnel for their

friendliness and cooperation. It is a pleasure to be associated withthe Merrimack School System.

TEACHER CONSULTANT'S REPORT

Mr. Louis L. RamsaySuperintendent of Schools

Merrimack, New Hampshire

Dear Mr. Ramsay:

The following paragraphs constitute my first report to you as

Teacher Consultant in the Town of Merrimack, New Hampshire.As I stated last year in my report as Principal of Pelham's E. G.Sherburne School, maintaining high standards of instruction is a

task continued successfully only by means of a high degree of co-

operation by all memibers of the team associated with the schools

of the town. During the past year I have found this team to beclosely knit, cooperative, and working towards the common goal of

providing better education for the youth of Merrimack. It is in-

deed a privilege to be a member of this team.

Any educational team can best be evaluated by the degree of

progress attained in intensifying and diversifying the instructional

Drogram. I belle\'e the record of the past year speaks well for the

Town of Merrimack.

Modern Mathematics is now a reality in our school system.

Last September the program was instituted in Grades 1 and 2 and^vill be followed by Grades 3 and 4 next September. I am indeed

proud of our teachers' dedicated efforts to make this program a

success. The entire staff is making every effort to acquire addition-

al training in this field at considerable cost.

A few wôrds of explanation concerning the modern mathe-matics program is here called for. What are we trsang to accom-plish? Very briefly, the new approach gives emphasis to the devel-

opment of mathematical ideas, number meanings and principles of

operation. Very important to this approach is the encouragement

of children to discover these principles for themseh'es by relating a

situation to the concrete. Skill in computation has always been andak\vays will be of the utmost importance. But the days when em-phasis is placed wholly on the learning of isolated facts and of spe-

cific rules to be followêd in comiputation are passing raiîdly. Real

learnins" is meaninirful learnins;. It must be develonmental — it

must be structurally oriented.

On a planned basis, the basal reading series in the elementary

grades is being modernized. The new edition of the Scott toresman

reader instituted in the 1st grade this year has been extremely

105

helpful in improving instruction in this very important area. It

behooves us to remember that increased excellence in reading in-

struction remains the primary key to the future learning success of

our children. Our constant attention should be directed towardthat end.

During the past year, the people of Merrimack demonstratedtheir willingness to do whatever necessary to improve reading in-

struction when they voted to have full-time remedial reading in-

struction in their schools. I consider this step to be of the utmostimportance. Its effect, especially in the long run, will be a general

improvement in the learning situation of the Merrimack schools.

In the hands of our able and enthusiastic Ruth Hamblett, the re-

medial reading program has already had a tremendous impact onthe Mastricola School.

I was extremely pleased that the first grade was broken up into

four sections last fall. In a rapidly growing community it is mostdifficult to keep class size down below thirty. However, classes

which are of unwieldly size impair academic progress for a large

number of children. No student, slow or fast learner, can possibly

get proper and deserved attention in an overcrowded classroom.

The fact that the first grade has been divided into four sections

demonstrates that the people of Merrimack are aware of the needfor smaller classes.

Merrimack has reason to be very proud of the calibre of text-

books available to the children. We have made a great deal of

progress in modernizing the science, spelling, and language series

currently in use. To meet the modem textbook needs in a rapidly

growing community is indeed a difficult challenge. The people of

Merrimack are very effectively meeting that challenge.

Paul L. O'Neil closed his last report to the Town of Merrimackwith a quote from Benjamin Willis, one of our nation's top educa-

tors. I believe that quote to be worth repeating. "Generally, to

speak of the school is to conjure up in the public mind an image of

a building. It would be closer to the truth if the word School were

to bring to mind a picture of a Teacher. The Teacher Makes TheSchool."

h High School Principal's Report

From July 1, 1961 to June 30, 1962

It is Avith a considerable decree of satisfaction and confidence

^hat T submit my annual report to the Merrimack School District.

Satisfaction, in that I feel that Merrimack has done its best to pre-

oare its young: people for a bright and successful future and confi-

dent that it will continue to do so.

Contrarv to \vhat many of us read in magazines and news-papers relative to the ina,dequacies of our eduxational system, col-

lege professors and collesfe presidents will asrree that the present

veneration of college students is much better prepared than those

of the past.

The percentap"e of Merrimack graduates ^vho have been suc-

cessful in their colle^^e endeavors and those who have been success-

ful in obtaining?" employment for which they >vere prepared supports

the fact that T^.Ierrimack has made a maximum effort to fulfill its

JAMES MASTRICOLA SCHOOLPrincipal's Report

July 1, 1961 — June 30, 1962

With the opening of the 1961-62 school year, most of thechildren in grades 1-6 were housed in the new James MastricolaSchool. Although a new^ experience for the lower grade children to

be in a large school wdth so many others, the experience was apleasant one and all soon became accustomed to their newer sur-

roundings. Unfortunately, the new building did not have enoughrooms for all so one section of the 6th grade had to remain at the

high school. Because of the excessive enrollemnt in the two 6thgrade sections, it was necessary to add another section and to housethat class also in the high school.

The elementary school was involved in the Stanford Achieve-

ment Testing Program which was a new innovation. In previous

years, a different achievement test was given and with the new^ test,

more areas were covered than before.

Our enrollment has continued to show an increase over the

past years. Presently, the first six grades are located in three sepa-

rate buildings. The Mastricola School has been filled to capacity,

one 5th grade section is occupying a badly needed room at the high

school, and it was again necessary to open the Merrimack GrammarSchool for the tw^o 6th grades this year. Unless additional space is

provided for this building, it will be necessary to open another

building to accomodate next year's classes.

We were fortunate in having been able to obtain a remedial

reading teacher for the elementary grades. The extra help whichthe children who are having difficulty may receive, is certainly

beneficial. Since reading is a key subject which is involved in ourentire curriculum, it is most helpful to provide any extra advantages.

In connection with our reading program, we were also able to start

a school library. Although still on a small scale, it is hoped that

new books may be added each year until we have an adequatecollection.

MEMO FROM GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT

The Testing Program for 1961 included:

Or. 7—Stanford Achievement Tests

Or. 8—Stanford Achievement Tests and California Mental Ma-turity Test

Gr. 10—School and College Ability Test and the CooperativeReading Test

Gr. 1 1—The National Merit Scholarship Qualification Test and the

Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test were made available.

Gr. 12—for those seniors interested in college, arrangements weremade for them to take: Colles^e Board Exams, AmericanCollege Test and the Pre-Nursing Examination

-—for those interested in Employment: The General Apti-

tude Test Battery administered by the OfHce of Employ-ment Security,

—for those interested in the Armed Forces: The ArmedForces Qualification Test

The results of these tests were used in conferences with stu-

dents, teachers, parents, and in some cases, \A'ith college admissionofficers. As before, they were most helpful in the selection of

courses and in making post-graduate plans as well as providing

additional information for use in determining student groupings.

They helped us to better understand how as individuals and as en-

tire grades we compared.

For example, in the Spring of 1962 the present Senior Class

fClass of 1963) was administered the National Merit Scholarship

Qualifying Test. The specific areas of academic ability that this

test attempts to measure are:

1 — English Usage2 — Math usage

3 — Social Studies Reading4— Natural Science Reading5 — Word Usage

It is interesting to note the following results:

If all the students in the nation of that same grade (Class of

1963) v/ere ranked from top to bottom and then divided into

quarters and/or halves, on the basis of this test, the Class of 1963

at Merrimack High School would compare as follows:

113

Based on the composite total score

35.7% of this class were in the national top quarter

39.2% of this class were in the national second quarter

21.4% of this class were in the national third quarter

3.5% of this class were in the national fourth quarteror 74.9% of this class were in the national top half

Throughout the year students had the opportunity to see films,

hear tapes and to meet and discuss with representatives from tradeand technical schools, junior colleges, business schools, colleges of

liberal arts and engineering as well as recruiters from the ArmedForces.

Approximately 49% of last year's graduatinug class are now in

post-secondary school full time, 29% employed and 17% in the

Armed Forces.

In October a two day guidance workshop was held at the HighSchool for all secondary teachers and personnel for Union •#27.

Speakers from all over the state, the State Department of Educa-tion and the University of New Hampshire met and discussed withthe group on how to get the most out of a guidance program.

It was also my pleasure to sponsor an extension course fromBoston Univirsitv for elementary and junior high school teachers in

Elementary Guidance.

As you can see from all that is being said in these annual re-

ports, whether they come from the Superintendent's Office, the

School Board, the Elementary School, or the High School, every

effort is being made to provide the students with the best education

that present monies and facilities can offer. One can easily read

bet^'/een the lines here and note that the same might be said if ourpresent total enrollment were housed in one room with one teacher.

That is precisely my point. Our present facilities are not adequate.

Dr. James B. Conant, author of The American High School

Today, in an address delivered December 7, 1959 at the AmericanVocational Association Convention at Chicago, says that ,"If formal

studies are to be important, these studies must be related in someway or another to the youths' goals and aspirations." Here is

where we are failing. V/e have nothing to offer those who are not

planning to attend college or perform secretarial duties; there is noopportunity to acquire any vocational education for those students

interested in some trade or skill.

114

It seems to me that we may best make a start in helping stu-

dents gain a more functional and practical education for future

citizenship by following the lead given by Superintendent Louis

Ramsay two years ago in the Town Report when he said that oneof the school's most obvious needs was a shop program; basic shopcourses which may be expanded as the need arises.

We have learned the hard way that the longer we wait, the

more difficult it is to do what we know we are going to have to.

To this end I ask your concern and cooperation.

Respectively,

NORMAN E. BROWNGuidance Director

REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR

All-State Music Festival was held in Concord and the tworepresentatives from Merrimack were Linda Lessor, alto and DonnaJohnson, soprano.

The Spring concert "Hands Around the World" was presentedin May with all grades participating. Each grade representing aforeign country with song and dance and in appropriate costume.

The teachers spent many hours to make this an entertaining

evening.

The Merrimack School Band played Memorial Day for the

parade here in Town and later in the day in Epping. The Band wasalso given permission by the School Board to march on opening dayof the Deerfield Fair in September. In spite of inclement weatherthey won grand parade award and also first place for the best

school entry, which all amounted to $75.00. Veterans Day saw us

in Hudson on Sunday, and in Nashua on Monday. In late No-vember we marched in the Santa Parade in Nashua.The Merrimack Band Assoc, continues to help us as they pur-

chased a new band flag and harness and ten music stands. Theyalso paid all transportation charges on all trips whenever needed.

Indeed they have been a tremendous boost to our morale.

date.

2. Requests from other than local civic non-profit organizations

or sponsoring of an outside organization by a local organiza-

tion will not be considered.

3. No requests will be considered if a school sponsored or Towngovernment activity is scheduled during the same period re-

quested by an organization.

4. Statement that the organization is a local civic non-profit or-

ganization and that no other suitable Space is available to sup-

port the activity or function.

5. Statem^ent that the organization or function will in the event

of damage to the building or equipment, reimburse the school

District within a 30 day period from the date of the damage,the full amount of the cost of repairs or replacement.

1 1

.

134

"NO SCHOOL" SIGNAL

If school is to be called off for any reason there will be notice

read over stations WOTW and WSMN in Nashua and WFEA in

Manchester at 7:30 o'clock in the morning.

Because the required 180 days of school brings the closing of

the school year well into the month of June, it is the feeling of the

School Board, that it would be unwise to call off school unless it is

impossible for the busses to negotiate their routes. We are asking

all parents to use their own discretion sending children to school

during a bad storm.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS

The regular monthly meeting of the School Board is held at

the James Mastricola School on the third Tuesday of each monthat 7:30 P. M. The meeting is open to anyone with complaints orsuggestions on the operation of our school system. The only waythat the School Board can act on any situation is as a body.
