These percentages will probably vary greatly in September, 1951, as it is anticipated that the new Birchland Park Junior High School in East Longmeadow will have been completed and the teaching force for the town of East Longmeadow will have been increased from eighteen teachers during the school year 1950-1951 to approximately thirty-two teachers during the school year 1951-1952.
Mrs. Emily O. Condon resigned her position as secretary to the Superintendency Union No. 16, effective April 15, 1950. Mrs. Condon served as secretary of the union for twenty-eight years. We wish to express to her in behalf of the school personnel and the citizens of the town of Wilbraham our sincere appreciation for the splendid work she performed during her many years of service. Miss Chris- tine G. Clark, a graduate of Bay Path Junior College, was employed to fill the vacancy created by Mrs. Condon's resignation. Miss Clark comes to us highly recommended.
Changes in Personnel
During the school year 1949-1950 there was no sixth grade at The Pines School but there were a seventh grade and eighth grade there. When the Memorial School was opened in September, 1950, grades seven and eight were transferred to the new school. The Pines School now houses grades one through six.

Repairs
Since the completion of the Wilbraham Memorial School, the North Wilbraham and the Springfield Street Schools have not been in use.

SUPERINTENDENT'S SCHOOL REPORT. (Continued)
Your school committee will continue to make the necessary repairs to keep these buildings in good condition as it will be necessary to reopen at least one of these buildings in the very near future.
Repairs at The Pines School consisted of installing an outside light fixture in front of the school building so that the main entrance may be illuminated, painting the exterior woodwork of the building, paint- ing three of the classrooms in pastel shades, and installing venetian blinds in these three rooms. It is the desire of your school committee to complete the painting of the remaining three rooms at The Pines School this coming summer. With these major repairs, this school continues to be one of the finest schools in this area.
Pupil Enrollment and Classroom Facilities
The building of the Memorial School has done a great deal to lessen the congested condition which has existed in the schools during the last two or three years. There are twelve classrooms in the building and all classrooms are being used at the present moment. The census which was taken October 1, 1950 shows a continued increase in the pre-school enrollment. We submit for your study the following charts which have been compiled since the October 1, 1950 census was com- pleted.

Average standard classroom enrollment includes 25-30 pupils.
This chart does not allow for any increase in town growth.
If one studies these tables carefully, one finds that the pupil enroll- ment in the town has increased from three hundred thirty-one in September, 1948 including pupils in grades one through eight, to four hundred fifty-six in September, 1950, including pupils in grades one through nine. This chart further shows an increase in grades one through eight in the school enrollment in the town of Wilbraham of ninety-seven children in a two year period. Further study of the census chart shown above, shows that by 1953 there will be four first grades in the town of Wilbraham. Only one conclusion can be drawn from this picture. It is obvious that the town of Wilbraham will of necessity have to provide more classrooms for its pupils than it now provides. May we present the following chart to explain the antici- pated needed classrooms for the next seven years.
Careful study of the above charts will show that the school popula- tion of the town of Wilbraham is continuing to grow at a tremen- dous rate. Four years ago, the town of Wilbraham had one and one-
81
SUPERINTENDENT'S SCHOOL REPORT (Continued)
half first grades. Three years ago, it had two first grades. In Sep- tember, 1949, there were three first grades and in September, 1950 there were three first grades in the town. This means that the pupil enrollment in the first grades has increased over a period of three years 100 per cent. One will realize that as these children progress through the grades there will be a corresponding increase in the succeeding grades. May we present for your study, tables showing the school enrollment as of September, 1948, September, 1949, and September, 1950.

Planning for future requirements must be done on the basis that Springfield may be unable to provide educational facilities for the town of Wilbraham in the not too distant future.
A study of the preceding tables shows that the eighteen rooms which are now being occupied by the children in grades one through nine at The Pines and Memorial schools plus the six classrooms in the small schools which are not being used this year will not be suffi- cient classroom space to house all children attending grades one through nine in the town of Wilbraham September 1, 1953.
Junior High School Organization
Previous to September 1, 1950, the educational system of the town of Wilbraham was composed of eight elementary grades and four high school grades. The children in grades one through eight attended the elementary schools in the town of Wilbraham while those children enrolled in grades nine through twelve attended high schools in the city of Springfield and the towns of Ludlow and Palmer. This edu- cational system is known as the 8-4 plan. Beginning September 1, 1950, the town of Wilbraham established the 6-3-3 educational system, six years in elementary school, three years in junior high school, and three years in senior high school. Those children attending the ele- mentary and junior high schools are now receiving their education in the town of Wilbraham. It is anticipated that the per pupil cost will be less than that previously paid to the city of Springfield.
The junior high school is departmentalized, giving the children a greater advantage in teaching facilities. The following subjects are offered - grade seven : English, United States history, mathematics, geography, science, health, home economics, physical education, art and music; grade eight: English, United States history, mathematics, geography, science, health, home economics, physical education, art and music; grade nine: English, French, algebra, general science, general mathematics, social studies, home economics, physical educa- tion, art and music. The pupils enrolled in the Wilbraham Junior High School will be prepared to enter the senior high schools of the city of Springfield, and towns of Ludlow and Palmer. The extra curricular program is doing much to stimulate the school program. Parents and friends are invited to visit whenever possible.
Hot Lunch Program
For the first time in the history of the schools in the town of Wil- braham, it is possible for children attending the Memorial School . to receive a hot lunch at a cost of $0.17 each noon that school is in session. Mrs. A. May Jenkins, head dietitian, sees that the children get well balanced meals. This hot lunch program receives assistance from the federal government. Regulations were passed by the Massa- chusetts General Court at its last session requiring that the school committee take over the sponsorship of the hot lunch program which up to that time could be sponsored by any responsible organization. The money now received must be deposited with the town treasurer
83
SUPERINTENDENT'S SCHOOL REPORT (Continued)
and all bills must be approved by the members of the school com- mittee. It is felt that this procedure is by far the more efficient one as this project has grown to the extent that approximately $12,000.00 will be handled annually. There are approximately two hundred and fifty children taking advantage of this opportunity. We suggest that you visit school some noon hour and observe how the hot lunch pro- gram functions. Since the inception of the hot lunch program at the Memorial School, the school committee has been interested in provid- ing the same opportunities to pupils attending The Pines School and it will continue to cooperate with the townspeople to sponsor such a program providing they feel it is a desirable project.
May we express our appreciation to Mr. Patrick Fitzgerald and Mr. Henry Hyde for their years of conscientious service to the town of Wilbraham. Mr. John Polaczak was transferred as custodian at The Pines School to head custodian at the Memorial School. Mr. William Tupper was employed to replace Mr. Polaczak at The Pines School. Their fine work is greatly appreciated.
May we thank Dr. Irving P. Dinneen, Dr. Arthur H. Goodwin, and Mrs. Gwendolyn Buchanan for their fine work in carrying out the health program.
During the last year, Mr. Carl Alsing, a member of the Wilbraham School Committee for the past six years, resigned his position. All the time Mr. Alsing was on the committee he worked untiringly toward the improvement of the Wilbraham educational program. His wealth of knowledge was extremely valuable to the town. We wish him to know that his services were deeply appreciated by the com- munity. Mr. John W. Gale was appointed to fill this vacancy.
Your schools are always open for your inspection and the teachers welcome constructive suggestions at all times. They are your schools. The school program centers around the child as a whole. Visit your schools frequently and enjoy their hospitality.
The many courtesies extended to us have been deeply appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD A. TRUELL, Superintendent of Schools
