With all the requests of all departments as well as the utility company requirements having been made to the board, it was ready to act.
The preliminary hearing was held on May 17, 1960. The public hearing was held on July 8, 1960, at which time the board adopted its rules and regulations. The Register of Deeds and the Recorder of the Land Court were notified that the town had accepted the provisions of the Subdivision Control Law, and each was furnished with a copy of the board's rules and regulations. On Au- gust 2, 1960, the Hatfield Planning Board had fulfilled all requirements required by law to make Subdivision Con- trol effective.
Because of the continuous growth of our fine com- munity ,the Planning Board is presently studying and working on zoning for the Town of Hatfield as requested by the Board of Selectmen. An official map of the town for use by the Planning Board and the Zoning Board has been contracted for and is being drawn up.
During the year the Planning Board has held twenty- one meetings, and has accepted and endorsed eight appli- cations of plans submitted.
Our regular meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month at 7:00 P.M. and are all open to the citizens of Hatfield.
Respectfully submitted,
DAVID F. MOREY, Chairman GEORGE W. ROGALEWSKI, Secretary MARCUS J. BOYLE, Vice Chairman MARTIN J. BRASSORD HENRY SKORUPSKI

Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
The annual report of the Hatfield School Committee, for the year 1960, is presented to you for your considera- tion. The Hatfield School Committee has devoted much time, energy, ability and conscientious effort so that each child in the community would be provided an education commensurate with his ability and within the financial resources of the community. The school committee com- bined its efforts to keep uppermost in its deliberations the spiritual, moral, and educational welfare of the child. The committee, in establishing the educational policy for the public schools of Hatfield, strongly supported issues that were basic to the education of our future citizens. Its main purpose was to set up a sound educational program where the common denominator of judgment was "the welfare of the child". Adverse attitudes and opinions were set aside in evaluating the educational policy as it pertains to the general education of our future citizens.
With the above in mind, the school committee, in the year 1960, met in 12 regular meetings and12 special meet- ings for the purpose of providing the type and kind of education in keeping with the best principles of democ- racy and within the financial capacity of the town.
The number of pupils enrolled in the Hatfield Public Schools has also increased this year. On December 1, 1960, there were 494 pupils enrolled in grades 1 through 12. Last year there were 490 pupils enrolled in grades 1 through 12. Grades 1 through 6 had 281 pupils enrolled
84
and this year have 280 pupils. Grades 7 through 9 had 91 pupils enrolled and this year have 91 pupils. Grades 9 through 12 had 118 pupils enrolled and this year have 123 pupils. This past year only 38 entered grade 1; our last small class. Next year 48 are slated to enter grade 1. A summary view of past and anticipated enrollments is pre- sented in charts to be found incorporated in this School Department Report on another page. You are encouraged to turn to and examine these charts closely.
