AGE OF ADMITTANCE
Pupils entering the kindergarten in September must have been at least four years of age on January 1st preceding entrance in September.
Pupils entering the first grade in September must have been at least five years of age on January 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 certificates of vaccination or exemption must be presented at the opening of school to entitle children to admission.
NO-SCHOOL SIGNAL
As a matter of policy school will be in session whenever possible. When weather conditions are questionable parents are urged to exercise their own judgment as to whether their children are sent to school or not.
If it seems inadvisable to have school sessions, the following pro- cedure for no-school signals will be observed. Radio stations WHDH, WBZ, WNAC, and WESX will be notified not later than 7:00 a.m. so that notification may be broadcast by them between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m. At 7:00 a.m. the no-school 22-22 will be sounded on the local fire alarm.

REPORT OF THE HAMILTON SCHOOL BUILDING NEEDS COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Hamilton:
This committee was formed in March of 1954 by a vote of the town meeting to provide townspeople with counsel and recommendations on future school housing requirements.
As a result of this and other school building committees' findings and recommendations, the following school housing needs have been met during their years of existence:
- The Manasseh Cutler School was built in 1952 and four class- rooms of an experimental construction were added in 1955 and 1956.
- The High School was extensively renovated and added to in 1952, resulting in a new gymnasium, three new classrooms and a new cafeteria.
- The new Winthrop School was completed in 1959.
- A committee was formed in 1957 to investigate with Wenham the possibility of a regional High School with the result that last summer the appropriation was voted and construction on the building should begin sometime in the spring.
It is expected that if the present growth rate of the town continues, there will be a need for more elementary classrooms, perhaps through an addition to the Winthrop School, in several years time, so it is recom- mended that the committee be continued in existence to study at the appropriate time the possibility of future requirements.

HAMILTON-WENHAM REGIONAL DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMITTEE Annual Report
To the citizens of Hamilton and Wenham:
Prior to the special Town Meetings held in Hamilton and Wenham on July 25, 1960, the Regional Committee prepared a second progress report which was distributed to each household in the two towns. This report contained information about the activity of the Regional Com- mittee from the time of its organization on July 1, 1959, to the time of the special town meetings on July 25, 1960. In this report the Regional Committee made the recommendation that the two towns approve an article authorizing the amount of $2,085,000 "for acquiring land, construc- ting thereon and equipping a regional high school." This Article was passed by a favorable vote in both towns. Since that time, the Regional Committee has been working diligently to carry out this program of "acquiring land, constructing thereon and equipping a regional high school."
Target dates have been established for "breaking ground" in April, 1961, and for occupancy in September, 1962. In working towards the fulfillment of these dates, the Regional School Committee has met the problems and situations as they arose and has handled them in as efficient a manner as was possible.
Those tasks that have been completed are:
A. Temporary financing pending the bond issue,
B. Acquiring the Welldon property,
C. Preparing the 1961 budget.
Those tasks still continuing are:
A. Assisting the architect with working drawings,
B. Surveying Civil Defense activity,
C. Studying bonding procedure.
Since the inception of the Regional Program in Hamilton and Wen- ham, the active and helpful interest of many citizens has been a very strong factor in the excellent progress that has been made in solving an important school problem to the best interest of the two communities. Again a group of citizens have served on a Sub-committee, this one being the Building Sub-committee, working closely with the architect, Mr. W. Scott Brodie of Kilham, Hopkins, Greeley and Brodie, on the working drawings of the school. The members of this Sub-committee are: From Hamilton, Mr. Henry J. Gourdeau and Mr. Richard Wills; and from Wenham, Mr. Edward J. Splaine and Mr. Richard West.
35
The Regional Committee has been working very closely with the Hamilton School Committee and the Wenham School Committee on all matters of mutual interest. The Regional Committee feels that a good foundation has been laid for continuing cooperation in the effort of the two towns to regionalize all the grades. This is an ultimate goal which will enable the two towns to give its youth the highest-quality educational program with the most reasonable expenditure of funds.
The future of the educational program in Hamilton and Wenham can be successful and rewarding only with the continued support of the townspeople. The Regional School Committee has, and will, continue to act in all matters in a cooperative manner with the townspeople. Thus we shall work together in an effort to offer the best possible educational program, within reasonable economic limits, to equip our young people to take their place in an increasingly competitive world.
Respectively submitted,
HAMILTON-WENHAM REGIONAL DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMITTEE JAMES E. HALL (H), Chairman MAYNARD L. DIAMOND (W), Vice Chairman A. WINSLOW DODGE (W) JOE Y. JACKSON (H), Treasurer RICHARD PRESTON (H) CHARLES F. TERRELL (W), Secretary
