To the Superintendent and Members of the School Com- mittee :
The main objective in the Health Program is to help all students to be strong and healthy, sound in mind, firm and well-balanced in personality. Health is a state of positive well-being, not just freedom from disease, but a readiness of the body and mind to act freely and com- fortably in all performances when reasonable demands are made upon the person.
Proper care of the body and mind is not instinctive but scientific. Good health without the knowledge and practice of Hygiene is rare. Good mental and physical health habits should be taught and practiced from child- hood. Good posture, proper diet, good eating habits, exercise, rest, sleep, recreation, cleanliness, normal atti- tudes toward environment are all elements of healthful living.
"Good Health is fundamental to Success." The eni- phasis placed upon physical fitness as a requirement for higher education, especially in all advanced Vocational Education should be an incentive all young people and parents should observe to become mentally and physically able to meet the challenge of our modern living demands - health, ideals, knowledge, and a receptive mind.
The teaching and practice of disease prevention and general safety is becoming more and more fundamental in health education. Physical Education coordinates body and mind, stimulates alertness and a sense of fair
123
play. Fatigue and worry are factors that break down normal resistance and should be observed and eliminated, mentally and physically.
Disease prevention is based upon the reaction given to all avenues open to pre-school children and pupils for protection against types of disease that may be prevented through immunization, X-ray, dental clinics, medical and surgical clinics. Minor diseases as chicken pox, measles. mumps, etc., although not considered as a serious in- fection, should be under medical care and isolated from contact with other children.
The pupils and parents are very cooperative in the health program and the following report proves the statement.
The Patch Test was given to 108 students as follows: Grammar School, 50 with 3 positive reactions ; High School, 48 with 6 positive reactions.
The State X-ray clinic X-rayed 69 students and 4 members of the Faculty. All proved negative of any abnormal chest condition.
The Immunization clinic was as follows: 3 injections. 14 pupils ; pre-school 3 injections, 12 plus 2 incomplete : booster injections, 53 pupils; pre-school booster injec- tions, 6; pupils receiving dental corrections - clinic, 53 : private, 16; visual correction, 12; nose and throat cor- rection, 8.
Health Teaching Program: First Aid and Safety Classes ; Child Care Classes; Home Hygiene, Care of the sick in the home; Personal Hygiene Classes.

My sincere appreciation is extended to the school officials, school physicians, teachers, parents for their cooperation in the Health Program, to Camp Hodgkins for the 4 weeks of camping pleasure enjoyed by pupils that attended the camp, to the Red Cross for the use of hearing equipment so important in the school health program.
Respectfully submitted,

The Athenian Oath
We will never bring disgrace to this our city, by any act of dishonesty or cow- ardice, nor ever desert our suffering com- rades in the ranks; we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city's laws and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to annul or set them at naught; we. will strive unceasingly to quicken the pub- lic's sense of civic duty, thus in all these way we will transmit this city not only less, but greater, and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.

Selectmen's Report
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
The Board of Selectmen of Hatleld wishes to thank all town officials and the inhabitants for their coopera- tion during the year 1950.
The year 1950 was a successful one in town affairs. The Board would like to present a summary of improve- ments and departmental changes.
Francis Godin was appointed new highway superin- tendent to succeed Jack Howard who was with Hatfield for 18 years. Mr. Howard received a bigger assign- ment as highway chief for the Town of Agawam. We extend to him our wishes for continued success in his new position.
Edward Majeski who formerly served with the Mass. State Police for many years was designated Chief of Police ..
The appointment of Veterans' Service Director was assigned to Bernard Ostrander.
The abutments of the new Riverside Bridge are completed but final completion will not be made until spring. The bid was granted to W. W. Wyman, bridge contractors of Shelburne Falls at a cost of $68,427.80. The price of materials have gone up necessitating a recommendation by the Board of an additional expend- iture by the Town of $2,500.00 to complete the bridge. State and County share to be $7,500.00.
