SCARBOROUGH FIREMEN’S ASSOCIATION
To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Scarborough:
While submitting a report of the Scarborough Firemen’s Association, Inc. for the year ending February 1, 1945, I wish to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of the Town for their cooperation in their support of the Fire Department.
Throughout the year the Department made 180 calls divided as follows; Dunstan 44; Pine Point 35; Black Point 43; Oak Iiill 32; Pleasant Hill 14; North Scarborough 12.
The following is the list of what the various companies had for maintenance and equipment; Pine Point $408.04; Oak Hill $379.46; Dunstan $335.30; Pleasant Hill $864.74; Black Point $900.11; North Scarborough $91.09; Prouts Neck $9.50. Balance of appropriation $511.76 deposited in “the Fire Alarm System Fund.
The Selectmen and the Board of Directors of the Scarborough Firemen’s Association, Inc. met and a contract was made with The Gamewell Company of West Newton Upper Falls, Mass., for the construction and installation of a fire alarm system. The system was laid out in such a manner that future expansion might be accomplished, without duplication, to give the proper coverage to the entire Town with the minimum of expense. Materials were available last March for the installation of the Fire Alarm System but before the legal aspect as to the time when the money could be spent, under the act which it was raised could be determined, materials had become critical and our request for a release of materials was denied by the War Production Board for the duration of the war. This fund will be held by the Town under the name of “The Fire Alarm System Fund” and any unex-
I
ANNUAL REPORT40
pended balance of the regular Fire Department appropriation will revert into this fund.

Respectfully submitted,WILLIAM M. HOWATT,
Town ClerkScarborough, February 1, 1945.
Report of the
Superintendent of SchoolsTo the Board of Education and Citizens of Scarborough:
In every successful endeavor we must enjoy planning for the future. Such plans are the basis of improvement. But there are times when a town, like a person, gains renewed strength and inspiration if it takes time to enjoy its achievements as well as its plans.
Thus I’d like to start this, my thirty-second annual report to you on the condition and future of Scarborough schools, by expressing the joy we all feel in an outstanding school achievement during the past year. Of course I refer to the opening of the new Dunstan school.
THE NEW DUNSTAN SCHOOL
In appearance, our new school, located as it is “in the face and eyes” of the many people who go over Route 1, is a distinct asset to the town. Of colonial design, red water-struck bricj color, it is a thinl and intimate ana cation for which it is built. The building is so located, on the site as to give the maximum of play space in the safest location. Other buildings on the site, the town tractor house, the state police barracks and the old school building will be removed. Effective landscaping is planned.
In arrangement, the building is practical. It is 120 feet long, 40 feet in maximum depth, two stories in height, with a basement, under part. The classrooms are at the rear away from the noise, the auxiliary rooms being on the front. The central portion has two entrances from the front through vestibules to stair enclosures. These open
and with sloping roofs for outline and of beauty. It also presents a domestic ranee which typifies the kind of edu-
TOWN OF SCARBOROUGH 91
upon a wide corridor on the first and second floors.Boys’ and girls’ toilets are on each floor in close prox
imity to the classrooms. A teachers’ room 12 x 20 feet with separate toilet room, and a supply room 8 x 12 feet open from the first floor corridor.
On each floor there will be four classrooms: two are long 22x 36 feet; and two are 22x32 feet. One of the long classrooms on the first floor is especially arranged for sub-primary and first grade pupils with a door connecting directly with a special play space to be constructed later for these little folks. Two long rooms on the second floor, will later be so finished that they can be combined into an auditorium with a small stage for school assemblies and community meetings.
All classrooms are to be equipped with modern seating for thirty-five pupils, or forty if so large a class is found necessary. Extra space is provided in the room for an activity program for younger children. In each room, wardrobes are provided in the rear for pupils’ coats, there is a separate closet for book and supplies’ storage and for the teacher’s coat, and there is ample blackboard and ‘‘tack board” space.
At the front of the building on the second floor is a library 12x31 feet with suitable shelves. Ultimately it will be equipped with tables and chairs to accommodate eighteen pupils.
In the basement, a space 22 x 56 feet will provide for a good lunch and recreation room, with exits directly to the rear play yard.
The building meets to-day’s requirements as to window space and light, and has adequate and modern heating and ventilation.
Product of Complete HarmonyThe erection of this building is a testimonial to careful,
harmonious, cooperative community planning and execution. The Building Committee consisted of the Selectmen and the Board of Education. The Building Committee,
ANNUAL REPORT92
the architects Miller and Beal of Portland, the contractor John Bowen Company of Boston, and the sub-contractors all worked in perfect harmony. This produced prompt completion of the job and the erection of a building’which seems to have the enthusiastic approval of all Scarborough citizens.
The building was started about August first and was turned over to the Building Committee on December 12. The cost was met by a bond issue of $75,000, floated at interest of one and oue-quarter per cent, indicating the high opinion in which our town is held in financial circles.
Makes Possible Improved Educational OfferingThis new building marks the beginning of a new era
for the pupils it will serve. In it, for all grades, we can now have a balanced program such as is provided in the best schools in any community large or small. For those who are less “book minded” we can provide those activities which will give to such pupils encouragement and satisfaction from accomplishment with “things.” This in turn will give meaning and motive for the pupil to do his best in academic subjects.
This Time We Did It RightTo me personally, the greatest joy is that this time we
acted with full vision in the development of our school facilities. This is the second of three steps in a program proposed to you in 1939. In taking the first step at Oak Hill we were unwilling to follow our vision and really meet future needs. But this time at Dunstan we did look into the future and plan for both the quantity and quality of our future educational offering.
THE NEW SCHOOL A MEMORIALI am delighted to report that through the authorization
of the Building Committee the new Dunstan School Building will be dedicated to the Scarborough men and women who are fighting in this War for Democracy and the right to real education, as contrasted to totalitarian govern-
■
TOWN OF SCARBOROUGH 93
mental propaganda. It seems fitting that their courage and accomplishments should be recalled, for all time, in connection with that bulwark of democracy, the American public schools.
THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMIn spite of many, many difficulties, this has been a year
of great school progress all along the line. Special attention is being given to reading. It is hard for one to realize the handicap of a child who has reading difficulties. It increases as he advances to the higher grades.
Individual differences are being more and more respected. We are trying our hardest to work out an activity program which helps to develop the whole child. We realize that the whole child is sent to school, not merely his memory and his mind. We are trying to help him in health, social attitudes, moral stamina, and skills as well as in knowledge.
To do this we hope, throughout the system to have the elementary and the secondary school program balanced between the practical and the theoretical.
OUR TEACHERSThis year, the same as last year, we have been very
fortunate in retaining so many of our teachers.We were very sorry to lose Laura R. Milliken after
forty-six years of excellent service. We admired the decision of Florence A. Scott to enter the WAVES, but were sorry to lose her valuable services. All of the other teachers who left will-be greatly missed.
We are very fortunate in the training and experience of our entire teaching staff. All of them are showing splendid professional spirit and initiative. I am taking this opportunity to commend the exceptionally fine service of our Health Nurse, Philomene M. Cummings.
Our local teachers’ organization is a great morale builder. Through professional contact with the other Scarborough teachers, the discouragements and feeling
ANNUAL REPORT94
of lonesome endeavor are eliminated especially for the teacher in the one room school. And for all Scarborough teachers, discussion of professional endeavors elsewhere gives a sense of oneness with a great professional movement.
OUR PUPIL GROUPINGWhen our new organization is completed, practically
every grammar school pupil in town will be housed in one of our consolidated schools, either at Dunstan or Oak Hill. Because of this new grouping, the heavy teaching load that the teachers in the rural schools have been carrying will be greatly reduced.
I am taking this opportunity to commend the efforts of parents, who, for a long period of time, recognizing the value of the graded school, have been furnishing their own transportation in order that their children might have the advantage of better grouping.
OUR SCHOOL PLANTSIn the Oak Hill Grammar School we are using six
rooms, two of which are in the basement. At Oak Hill Primary, four rooms are being used, one of which has to be used by the sub-primary in the morning and by the first grade in the afternoon. The classes are large and the first grade is being denied its full educational opportunity. The needs in this area will be discussed in later recommendations.
In the basement of the Oak Hill Primary, we are partitioning off a large space for activities of lower grade pupils. We hope to equip this to make possible an activity program for the lower grades in this school. This will give these pupils some of the benefits that the Dunstan lower grades will enjoy through the larger, activity planned classrooms. We hope also to do some redecorating in this building with a few appropriate pictures in each classroom.
An outstanding accomplishment among the rural schools
TOWN OF SCARBOROUGH 95
has been the drilling of an artesian well at the Beech Ridge School in order to secure an adequate water supply.
Our High School is to be congratulated upon the purchase through its own activities of an up-to-date sound moving projector. This and other high school activities are discussed in detail by Principal Bessey in his report.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Our recommendations this year are very earnest. However either they have been discussed so fully in the past or the need is so evident that they can be presented briefly.
1. Let’s finish the job at Dunstan.At present we have the makings of a model rural con
solidated school at Dunstan. The most expensive part has been done and the rest is easy. But we need to complete the space for the auditorium and for the lunchroom and playroom.
It is recommended that the space provided for two classrooms which could be turned into an auditorium be finished up for the present solely as an auditorium and furnished with the necessary seats and equipment. This can be done at less expense than completing the classrooms ; however it will not in any way interfere with the conversion of the space to classrooms when needed.
The finishing and equipping of the basement lunch room will not be a large or expensive task. It will add so much to the comfort and efficiency of the school.
Let’s make a very good school an outstanding school, a model rural consolidated school.
2. We need another school bus very badly.We have one school bus and use it to capacity. Our
other “bus” is a privately owned beach wagon in rather poor shape. Capacity 10 pupils. Number carried 38. Result—seven trips daily.
3. Let’s keep up with the needed minor improvements in the one room schools.
These are minor and not very expensive. To the extent possible, let’s provide in these schools the opportunity

for the activity program which we are starting to provide for Dunstan and Oak Hill schools.
4. Let’s plan the third step and plan it right.The “third step” is additional building at the high
school to make possible a plant which will house grades seven through twelve, — a junior-senior high school organization.
This is the third step in the plan outlined to you in 1939: (1) an elementary school at Oak Hill; (2) a new elementary school at Dunstan; (3) a six-year junior- senior high school plant at Oak Hill using and supplementing the present high school. Let’s not make the mistakes we did when we tried to short-cut the first step and built an inadequate building at Oak Hill; rather let’s have the vision and community planning that we did when we built the new Dunstan school.
The time is ripe for such planning. We now have an approximate enrollment of 95 pupils in the seventh and eighth grades and an approximate enrollment of 155 pupils in the high school, making a total enrollment of 250 pupils. This is a good unit for a real junior-senior high school. In the new construction we can provide room and equipment for courses now sadly needed in our high school. We can provide lunch facilities which can serve not only the junior-senior high unit but also other nearby schools.
The time will soon be ripe for such financing. There is now before the Maine Legislature a bill to provide state aid for “providing adequate consolidated school building facilities after the war.” All over the country, communities are planning on improving and extending their school facilities in the post-war period.
We need this badly. Let’s start now to plan for the near future and to plan right!

ments in the improvement of our entire school plant, school organization and program of study. We have surely advanced all along the line.
In this year, working together as never bebore, school and town officials, teachers and citizens have laid a most substantial foundation. We are in a position to provide an eventual school system in Scarborough which will rank high in the educational systems of our state. If at times I have “scolded” it was because we seemed to be standing still while other towns were providing more for their youth. But now, we have started. With deepest gratitude to all who have made this possible, may I urge that we go ahead with the same harmony, judgment and vision with which we have begun this year.

REPORT OFTHE PRINCIPAL OF SCARBOROUGH HIGH SCHOOL
To Superintendent F. H. B. Heald:
I herewith submit my twenty-fourth annual report as principal of Scarborough High School.
The registration during the first half-year shows an increase of sixteen over that of last year. It is distributed as follows:
TotalBoysGirls361323Seniors
JuniorsSophomoresFreshmen
3313203919206129 32
16992 77Two members of the Senior class have recently enlisted
and several underclassmen are contemplating enlistment soon before they shall have reached the induction age of eighteen.
Two members of the-Class of 1943, Donald Witham and Alfred Swinburne, Jr., who enlisted two years ago during the last half of their Senior year, have earned the necessary graduation credits through post-enlistment training and will receive their diplomas in June. Several other boys in our armed services are also carrying on similar work and, I believe, will earn diploma status within the next few months. Authority for a school in the State of Maine to issue such diplomas must be granted in each individual case by the Maine Diploma Equivalency Board of the State Department of Education.
Scholastic honors for the Senior Class have been won by the following pupils: first honor, Marion Dodge, who has earned an average of 96.3 percent, which ties the second highest average in the history of the school; second

honor, Joseph Lorfano, with a 92.6 percent average; third honor, Marilyn Willey, who has achieved a 90.6 percent average. The high scholastic standing of the class is evidenced by the fact that ten members have averages of 85 percent or better.
The student body is maintaining a very commendable record in the purchase of War Savings Stamps and Bonds. Since my last report, over $4,500 worth have been purchased directly through the school. In the recent Greater Portland Schools Bond Drive, Scarborough High was given a quota of $4,125 to sell in one week. So splendidly did the students react to this challenge that $11,450 were pledged and purchased through their efforts, the school thereby reaching 278 percent of its quota.
Two scrap paper drives have been carried on by the school. In May, the pupils collected 34,370 pounds and in November, 29,700 pounds for a total of approximately 32 tons. Another similar drive is planned during the coming spring.
Over eight hundred dollars have been raised by the school during the past year for school purposes exclusive of athletics and class projects. This has been allocated by the members of the Student Council for various school activities. Approximately five hundred dollars of this money has been used for the recent purchase of a Victor Sound-on-Film Moving Picture Projector and its accessories. Blackout curtains have been purchased and installed so that the auditorium and one class room can be satisfactorily and quickly darkened. We plan to use this medium for its educational as well as its entertaining values as many films are available as teaching aids in science, industrial arts, home economics, pre-induction work and other fields.
Instruction in music is practically at a standstill this year and I hope that this situation may be remedied before another school year. However, Rev. Mr. Holcomb is conducting weekly rehearsals for the high school orchestra and excellent work is being done.

In conclusion, I wish to thank you and the members of the Board of Education for your cooperation and assistance in the administration of my duties.

ANNUAL REPORT106
ANNUAL REPORT OF PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
1944; A year has gone by since you last had a report from
the Public Health Nurse and so another report of the aims and activities is presented for your information and approval.
During the year, 804 home visits were made which included bedside care to the ill, education and health supervision to expectant mothers, infants, pre-school children and those with communicable disease; also the crippled child and tuberculosis patients and their contacts.
Because there was no regular nurse during the summer months no child health conferences were held. These conferences were not started in the fall due to war time restrictions and lack of transportation facilities. It is hoped that they may be resumed again in the near future.
Dr. Geyerhahn, School Physician, examined 730 students in all the schools. Many of the parents showed their interest in these examinations by being present. A number of physical defects were found and follow-up visits are being made by the nurse to advise the parent regarding their correction. It is our aim that in another year arrangements can be made for examination during the summer months of those entering school in the fall. Also for any other children whose parents wish this done by the family physician.
Tuberculin testing was done in all the schools last spring, several children were found to have positive tests and all have been X-rayed.
This fall a vaccination clinic was held and 123 children were vaccinated against smallpox.
Realizing that the teacher is the key person in the school health program and that much depends on her knowledge and cooperation, the nurse meets with each group of teachers three times a year and together they discuss and outline the plans for the year.
A school health committee was formed during the year,i
i
j
i
107TOWN OF SCARBOROUGH
its purpose being to discuss any problems arising in the various schools and to work out their solution with the nurse.
Plans are under way for the testing of the hearing with the audiometer and also for retesting of the eyes with the new telebinocular machine.
Each school is visited frequently and the children checked for any sign of communicable disease or for any other difficulty which may arise.
The mothers of the children in all the rural schools met with the nurse and discussed the health problems pertaining to their own children.
I wish to thank the nursing board members for their attendance at the regular monthly meetings and for their help and guidance in planning a sound health program. My thanks also to the Town Officials for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILOMENE CUMMINGS,
District Nurse
ANNUAL REPORT108
REPORT OF HEALTH OFFICER
To the Citizens of Scarborough:
As wartime conditions continue, we still are confronted with the problems that came with the emergency along with many others. The new trailer ordinances were some help in regulation the sanitary, as well as other conditions in the trailer parks but the town has been delayed by legal decisions and other conditions so there are corrections yet to be made.
The construction of small houses, many of them merely tarred paper shacks, some with no floors and housing large families in one or two rooms has continued unregulated. These buildings are fire traps of the worst kind as well as being shelters without any chance for sanitary conveniences or other comforts and safety necessary for healthful living. We find there is much sickness causing loss of wage earners time and the absence of children from school in these sections; and causing some of the families to be a constant liability to the town by requiring frequent calls from the town nurse and myself as well as other assistance from the tow. There can be no remedy for this until enforceable building laws are enacted to eliminate such structures, which the Town should consider at once.
The Nursing Service, because of its increased value due to the shortage of doctors and nurses, should be strongly supported.
Last year, as the year before, there was but one case of Scarlet Fever but the usual number of other communicable diseases were noted. While the number of these cases were comparatively small every precaution should be taken to protect the health as there have been epidemics in nearby cities and towns and the same can happen here. The Vaccination and Toxoid Clinics were held during the year and will be given again this year; these being a valuable protection should be attended by everyone.

109TOWN OF SCARBOROUGH
The opening of the new Dunstan School has relieved the over crowding of schools to some extent and should benefit the scholars. New health programs in the schools have shown good results. The School Department, always considerate of the health of scholars, has done much to promote good health in the Town.
There is a great need of resuming the Well Baby Clinic as soon as possible as these were of much value to mothers, but were necessarily discontinued when a physician’s services were not available.
The rubbish and garbage situations were relieved somewhat by the new town dump in the western section of Town but people still use highways and beaches and other places prohibited by law, to dispose of rubbish, in spite of warnings and all other possible efforts to stop it.
I wish to thank the Town Officials and all others for their assistance during the year.
