I wish to take this opportunity to thank the coaches, referees and the boys and girls who played on our teams for their cooperation in making our athletic program the success that it has been in the past and I look to the future for an even more successful program.
Respectfully submitted,
MARSHALL D. GERO, Faculty Manager.

AGE OF ADMITTANCE
Pupils entering the kindergarten in September must have been at least four years of age on March 1st preceding entrance in September
Pupils entering the first grade in September must have been at least five years of age on March 1st preceding entrance in September.
VACCINATION
Children who have not been vaccinated will not be admitted to school in September unless they present a certificate from a regular practicing physician stating that they are not fit subjects for vaccination. Parents are requested to attend to this matter during the summer vacation, as cer- tificates of vaccination or exemption must be presented at the opening of school to entitle children to admission.
NO-SCHOOL SIGNALS
As a matter of policy school will be in session whenever possible. Whenever weather conditions are questionable parents are urged to exercise their own judgment as to whether their children are sent to school or not.
Whenever it seems unadvisable to have school sessions the following procedure for no-school signals will be observed. Radio stations WNAC. WBZ, and WESX will be notified not later than 2:00 a.m. so that notifica- tion may be broadcast by them between 2:15 and 8:00 a.m. At 7:30 a.m. the no-school signal ??-?? will be sounded on the local fire alarm.
