REPORT OF THE GREENVILLE PARK COMMISSION
To the Citizens of Greenville:
We
respectfully
submit
our
annual
report
as
your
Park
Commissioners.
Taft Memorial Playground
plans for any major improvement were made for the past
year; consequently our efforts were devoted to maintaining that
which we had. The field was kept well mowed and the grounds
picked up to maintain an orderly appearance. Less vandalism
No
35
was evident this year than in some of the previous years although some damage was done to the grandstand screen. It
is our hope that a program of evergreen planting may be started
this coming year on the northern border of the playground.
Recreation Program
the past several years through the efforts of the Civic
Playground Committee another recreational program was
offered. Although the leader of the summer program did not
prove to be quite as capable as in the past year, in spite of
excellent recommendations, there was a large attendance for
the swimming program which was held twice weekly, the weekly
dance and trips which were taken. During the last week of the
program Mr. Macey kindly replaced the previous instructor and
brought the playground to a highly successful close. Monthly
dances have been held under the supervision of Mr. Macey
throughout the year. Basketball has been offered for both the
boys and girls during the winter months. An attempt has been
made to provide skating facilities and plans are under way for
further accomplishments in this field next winter.

REPORT OF FOREST FIRE WARDEN
During 1953, we had one serious brush fire in the Town of
Greenville. This fire started in New Ipswich and quickly spread
into Greenville on the land of Earl Young, burning over about
20 acres of land. Help was called from New Ipswich and
Temple. This fire started from careless burning in an incinerator
on a very windy day.
Greenville furnished men and equipment to the State of New
Hampshire (Shaw Mt. Fire) and to the Towns of Temple and
New Ipswich during the Forest Fire Season.
As in the past when the Woodlands are closed and the fire
ban is in effect the proclamation will be posted on the front of
the Town Hall and no permits will be allowed.
The Town Dump continues to be a major forest fire menace
and it is unlawful to start a fire there. Let the proper authorities
do
it!

CHAMBERLIN FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Report of Librarian to the Trustees
I
hereby
submit
report
of
the
Library
for
year
ending
December
The
31, 1953.
library has had a successful year,
and taken
its
place
in
service to the Community in many ways. Several groups have
held committee meetings in the back room of the library, and
benefit food-sales and a Christmas sale have been held in the
main room during the past year.
In April
Governor Gregg proclaimed a New Hampshire
"Whoopee Week." This library, at the request of the State
Librarian, had a display of adult and children's books written
by New Hampshire authors, and a collection of history, poetry
and non-fiction books extolling New Hampshire. Some of the
books on display were loaned by our library patrons.
45
Except for Christmas, the library has been open each Monday
and Wednesday evening and Friday afternoon during the year.
Christmas decoration in the main room added a festive touch

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Board and Citizens of Greenville:
respectfully submit my seventh annual report as your SuperI
intendent of Schools.
INSTRUCTION
Our school opened this fall with the same staff as last year
namely, Mr. Benjamin Macey, Mrs. Mary Pelletier and Mrs.
Edna La Pierre. We are indeed fortunate in being able to hold
The work being accomplished by these
our present staff.
teachers is of a very high quality. Proper attention is being
given to the development of the fundamentals with as much
time devoted to individual problems as multiple graded rooms
will
permit.
The teachers and are eager to discuss in detail with parents
any area of the educational program offered at the Greenville
Public School. It is recommended that parents avail themselves
of every opportunity to learn how the reading program is developed through the grades; how penmanship and spelling are
taught; what makes a good arithmetic program and how our
English and language program is developed and integrated
with the social studies. This information can be much better
obtained by discussion and conference, than by means of a
I
written report.

cover a five point program consisting of singing, listening,
rhythm, creating and performing. In singing, the songs range
from simple melodies for the first grade to four-part singing in

poise as they sing as a class, a small group, or individually. All
pupils are given an opportunity to perform in one or more of
the following activities: rhythm band, song flute band, school
assemblies, operettas, and graduation exercises. Thus, it can
be seen that music plays an important part in the school life of
our children.
gram
HEALTH SUPERVISION
Excellent health services are being provided for both public
and parochial schools by Miss Sybil Beatham, School Nurse
58
and Dr. Harlan Karr, School Doctor. Every fall each child attending school receives a thorough physical examination and
the parents are informed of any conditions that need further
attention. Frequent visits by the Nurse to the schools and with
parents gives us an opportunity to keep a careful check on the
health status of each child. The School Nurse's Report explains
the details of her work.
NO SCHOOL POLICY
The Greenville School Board has established the following
policy relative to keeping school on stormy days. Our school
will
be open every day regardless of the weather unless
is
should be so extreme that the bus cannot operate.
Thus
parents will be assured that when they send their children to
school there will always be somebody there to receive them.
On extremely stormy days, parents are encouraged to use their
own judgment and keep their children home if they feel that
it is in the best interests of health and safety to do so.
BUILDINGS
AND GROUNDS
Our building is in excellent condition and Mr. Charles Roots
to be commended for the fine job that he is doing. The playground area that has been recently tarred has helped a great
deal in providing a cleaner building and at the same time giving the children a cleaner and more adequate play area.
Many will recall the wooden fence that surrounds the Public
School property separating our property from that of the
abuttors. Over the years this had deteriorated to the extent
that not only was it unsightly but it created a definite safety
hazard to the younger children. A year ago the last section was
torn down. Consequently, it is felt that the voters of the district should be given an opportunity to decide whether or not
a portion of this fence should be replaced. The portion under
consideration would extend along the east boundary of the
school property, and consist of a chain link fence, four feet
high.
is
An analysis of the School Board's budget for 1954-55 will
reveal that it calls for a net increase of $2,700.96, over last
year's budget, exclusive of any special articles in the warrant.
This increase is reflected in tuitions
$1,800. (We are budgeting for 33 pupils at $280 and one pupil at $310. This item reflects the increased costs experienced in the two schools to
which our tuition pupils go, namely Appleton Academy and
Peterborough High School); Expenses of instruction $1,043.40;
Transportation $400; Fixed Charges $90.60. Decreases in other
areas of the budget result in the net increase quoted above.

CONCLUSION
am deeply
grateful to the Greenville School Board, school
personnel, parents and friends of our school, for the fine support
and cooperation extended to me this past year.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
As School Nurse in the Town of Greenville made ten visits
to the Greenville Public School and ten visits to the Sacred
Heart School for the purpose of checking the children for signs
of communicable disease. There were a few incidents of mumps
in the schools but the chief problem was swollen glands and in
in the Public School, pediculosis.
By means of the Snellon Chart
tested a greater number of
the children for visual defects and found that eight were in need
of correction. Notes were sent to their parents.
used the
single audiometer to re-check children who were deficient on
the screening test but found that there were none who needed

hearing aids.
Mrs. Fahey, the State Public Health Nurse, held a Well-Baby
Clinic in April and May and
assisted her with the clinic. It is
hoped that we may have another in 1954 and that all preschool children will have been vaccinated before entering
school in the Fall.
During the summer
attended a special course at Keene
Teachers College on the subject of School Health Nursing.
Dr. Karr examined the children and found that an improvement is being shown in the health of the children.
