An Open House during Education Week and three Parents' Teas at Cutler School have given parents the opportunity to better understand the schools. Further programs of this type are being planned.
A limited testing program continues to help us to know and evaluate the children in the schools. Group tests in the areas of intelligence and achievement have been given at specific grade levels. Individual reading tests are being administered by the reading teacher and individual intelli- gence tests are given by the Principal as needed.
I feel that our Speech Teacher has been of extreme value to us this year in helping children in the primary grades who have speech problems.
Once again, we have been fortunate in obtaining excellent replace- ments on our staff. The professional experience which these teachers have brought to the classroom has proven very valuable in the daily learning situation. The workshop of the past Fall and the meeting held with new staff members have allowed a rapid orientation to the school system.

Our parent-teacher conference program continues to be an effective one and grows in size and in strength each year. I would repeat here our desire for parents to know that they are welcome to visit our schools or to be in contact with us by letter or telephone. Good communications be- tween home and school are an essential goal for better education.
I would take this opportunity to carry to you, the Board and the parents the thanks of the teaching staff for providing all of the books, films, paper, pencils and other materials so necessary to good education. In addition, the opportunity to work in well-maintained, clean buildings is appreciated.
On my personal behalf, I continue to enjoy being an educator in Hamilton schools. My thanks go to you, the Board, the entire staff, parents and all others who contribute so much to a successful school program.

REPORT OF THE CUTLER AND WINTHROP SCHOOLS VICE-PRINCIPAL
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The approach of September and the beginning of the school year brings to the vice-principal of the Manasseh Cutler and Winthrop Schools the renewal of administrative duties with particular emphasis on a con- tinued, well-planned program.
Based upon a homogeneous grouping method, as reading programs are similarly operated in other school systems, our arithmetic program offers the more advanced student the opportunity to proceed on an acceler- ated basis through the application of newer math techniques as well as allowing the average and below students to proceed at a normal rate.
This school year found the Language Arts program entering a period of revision. A workshop, held in the early autumn, assisted the teachers in this field through its stimulating innovations. The Audubon program is given on alternate weeks for our fifth grade sections. This natural science program, conducted by an expert teacher, is currently in its third year.
Our formal handwriting program is based on the Rinehart Func- tional Handwriting System. The lessons are evaluated monthly, analyzed and returned so that each child can find how he should improve.
Television is used on a limited basis in grades one through five. Some of the areas covered are phonics, natural science, space science and literature. Many new film strips have been added to our audio-visual library, and current films in all major areas are utilized.
Last winter we were able to run an eight week basketball program for boys in grade five, and a similar program is planned for 1964.
In closing, I would like to express my thanks to you, the principal of the Manasseh Cutler and Winthrop Schools, the School Committee, staff and parents who have enabled me to carry out my educational duties in a most satisfactory and rewarding environment.
Respectfully submitted,
NORMAN G. PFAFF,
Vice-principal

AGE OF ATTENDANCE
Pupils entering the kindergarten in September must have been at least four years of age on January 1st preceding entrance in September. Children may only enter kindergarten after October 15 by transferring from another kindergarten.
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 or not their children attend school.
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-WENHAM REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Hamilton and Wenham:
The dedication of the Regional High School was held on February 10, 1963. The program of dedication had as its theme "An Investment in Youth." An open house, with tours of the building, followed the program of dedication. A large number of citizens of Hamilton and Wenham took advantage of this opportunity to see the results of their cooperative invest- ment in providing a new high school for their youth.
The Regional High School is now in its second year of operation. Last year there was an enrollment of 481 students. This year there are 621 enrolled, and we estimate an enrollment in excess of 675 for the school year starting in September 1964.
With reference to the building there remain only a few details before making final payment to the contractor. On the balance due there are funds available from the bond issue voted by the two towns on July 25, 1960 so that it will not be necessary to request additional funds for this purpose. Based on two years of occupancy the committee is convinced that we have a well-designed and well-constructed building and that the two towns have received good value for the expenditure they have made.
On December 4, 1963 the Regional Committee held a meeting with the finance committees of Hamilton and Wenham to discuss the 1964 budget. In this meeting it was brought out that the budget increase was directly related to the enrollment increase. There was an instructional staff of 33 when the school opened in September 1962 which was in- creased to 37 this year and will be 40 when school opens in September 1964. This factor is the chief reason for the 13.4% budget increase in 1964 compared to 1963. In 1963 Hamilton's total share of the Regional High School expense was $291,253, and in 1964 it will be $328,975. The comparable figures for Wenham are $132,827 and $151,921.
The Regional School Committee members are very pleased with the progress that has been made in improving the quality of education offered to our high school young people. There has been tangible evidence of this as illustrated by the signal success of the Mathematics Team in competition with other high schools in Massachusetts. Also, recognition and honors won by members of the present senior class reflect on the quality of their school program. Among the many significant accomplishments by our students are the following:
24
An award received from the National Council of Teachers of Eng- lish,
A first place in the State Science Fair and an award at the New Eng- land Science Fair,
A State and New England winner in the New England Bakers' Essay Contest,
A senior has been notified of his early acceptance at M.I.T. and another at the University of Massachusetts,
Four undergraduates were accepted at summer science institutes in 1963.
Once again we would like to mention, as we have in the past three town reports, that a good foundation has been laid for continuing co- operation in the efforts of the two towns to regionalize all the grades. The committee believes that this is the ultimate goal which will enable the towns of Hamilton and Wenham to give their youth the highest quality educational program with the most reasonable expenditure of funds.
The Regional Committee is most grateful for the help and coopera- tion given by the town officials of our two towns and by the many inter- ested citizens who have served on subcommittees. The future of the edu- cational program in Hamilton and Wenham can be successful and reward- ing only with the continued support of officials and townspeople. The Regional Committee pledges that it will continue to operate in a manner which will merit the excellent support it has received from the citizens of the two towns since the time of its inception in 1959.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT HAMILTON-WENHAM REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
To the Regional School Committee:
Your attention is called to the report by Mr. Peter Coffin, the High School Principal, and to the town school department reports printed else- where in this annual report. My reports to the Hamilton and to the Wen- ham School Committees emphasize the urgent need for a regional junior high school. To regionalize the entire school program is educationally and administratively desirable.
As the administrative officer for the three school departments, I wish to report to the parents and taxpayers in both communities my very favor- able reaction to the positive dedication which is exhibited by the School Committees in their work in establishing policies for high standards of education. The fact that the Committees avoid petty politics, personalities and favoritism to friends and local candidates, makes it possible to operate a strong system. It is a pleasure to work under such circumstances as you provide for your administrators, teachers, and other employees.
Strong support and cooperation have been given this office by the town officers and employees of both communities, and my sincere thanks are extended to each one of them and all school personnel who have help- ed to make 1963 a profitable and pleasant school year. The leadership by the Hamilton employees in sponsoring the program of Blue Cross and insurance under Chapter 32b is appreciated, as is the Regional Commit- tee's approval of this benefit for Regional employees.
The cooperation of the local news media has made possible an up-to- date report of the many activities and accomplishments of the schools, the students, and the staff.
Each student is provided the opportunity of learning, besides facts and figures, a depth of thinking and a desire to search for knowledge and truth. In these somewhat troubled and confused times with so many dis- tractions, young people sometimes find it difficult to see the purpose in their studies. Each teacher, guidance counselor, parent, and everyone working with youth has an obligation to understand the problems of the students and to assist in their solution. In general, the habits and accom- plishments of youth are to be commended, and we look to even greater successes for them as they meet the challenge of reaching for high quality education.
26
The High School is providing strong and varied opportunities in the academic studies with teachers who are truly interested in the success of each student. The opportunities for other experiences are varied and most worthwhile. They range from an ever-increasing variety of athletic activities coached by competent coaches to the more academic activities of dramatics, debate, the highly successful math team and many other clubs. All of these illustrate the interest of the teachers and their concern for an outstanding school program.
The success of the school program is illustrated in the steadily im- proving scores on the College Board and other tests and the acceptance of our students by the best of the colleges.
Again, my appreciation to you for the climate you as a Committee provide for me and for all the employees. It is a pleasure to strive for the best under such positive circumstances.

HAMMOND A. YOUNG,
Superintendent of Schools

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE HAMILTON-WENHAM REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
After a full year and a half in operation the Hamilton-Wenham Re- gional High School has begun to establish itself among the better schools in the state. Students and student groups have excelled in state and na- tional competition in mathematics, English, science, music and public speaking.
Special programs for the non-academic student have been most suc- cessful with a drop-out rate of only 1.5% this year. If we were to take into consideration the students who have returned to school this year our drop-out rate would be zero.
The organization of the high school allows for the placing of a stu- dent in most subjects according to his level of achievement. This has proved to be particularly helpful to most students and has made it possible for greater individual attention in most cases. Continued refinement of this program is necessary in order to allow us to do all we would like to for all students.
The key to a good school always has been and always will be the quality of the person in front of the class. We have been particularly for- tunate in attracting able and enthusiastic people to work with us. The search for top talent must always go on if we are to stay with the best.
The attitude and spirit of the students in the Hamilton-Wenham Re- gional High School has been inspirational to all who are privileged to work with them. These fine young people deserve the best. We shall con- tinue to strive for this goal.
We are most hopeful that all citizens will avail themselves of the opportunity to attend our frequent forums and open houses in various areas.
Respectfully submitted,
PETER N. COFFIN,
Principal
