WILBRAHAM'S YOUTH RECREATION PROGRAM
This issue of our Town Report is especially dedicated to Wilbraham's very effective youth recreation program under the direction of the playground commis- sioners, Ralph S. Stedman, Joseph Nalepa and Louis E. Keyes.
In 1943, Wilbraham had no playgrounds nor youth recreational facilities. In 1947, the Town has four playgrounds, three of which are developed for active use, a swimming beach and a new skating rink facility. In addition to securing, improving and developing these facilities, the playground commission and a group of public-spirited citizens have conducted organized programs for youth activities in each section of the Town.
Throughout these four years of increasing activity the program has been con- ducted under extraordinarily limited cost to the Town through a large amount of services contributed by interested citizens. The swimming beach and Mohawk Field are each under lease to the Town for one dollar a year. The Pines Playground, Grassy Hollow Field and the new central Town Lot on Main Street where the new skating rink is located and where a new athletic field is planned for the future are now all owned by the Town, each having been purchased at nominal investment cost.
The following photographs, taken by W. J. Jenkins, cover a part of the present recreational facilities now provided for Wilbraham's youth.

Tribute To H. Willis Cutler, Public Spirited, Leading Cltizen
On February 2, 1948, Mr. H. Willis Cutler will have com- pleted twenty-eight years of service to the Town of Wilbraham as School Committeeman. This is but one of his many activities on behalf of this town. To this office, Mr. Cutler has devoted an extreme amount of time, effort and outstanding leadership.
In 1929 when he first became a member of the School Committee, Wilbraham's schools were largely made up of the multi-grade, one room, rural type of school.
Shortly after his election to the Committee he sponsored the planning of a modern six-room school for West Wilbraham.
He subsequently devoted himself energetically to the pro- ject of the detailed planning and the erection of the Pines School.
Thruout his twenty-eight years on the Committee he has ever lead the Wilbraham school system toward progressive advancement and has at the same time devoted himself dili- gently to developing ways and means of doing so within cur- rently sound budgetary limites.
Mr. Cutler's retirement from the Chairmanship of the School Committee will leave a void impossible to fill. He leaves his active part in this vital Town Office with the best wishes and heartfelt thanks of his fellow citizens. It is the hope of Town Officials that he may continue to informally give the School Committee from time to time the counseling benefit of his years of invaluable experience.
10
Tribute To Albert L. Martin, Loyal and Capable Civic Leader
On February 2, 1948, Mr. Albert L. Martin retires from the office of Selectman. He has rendered the Town of Wilbra- ham outstanding leadership and service for the past twelve years on the Finance Committee and the Board of Selectmen.
In February 1939, then a valued member of the Finance Committee, Mr. Martin was elected Selectman. In this office he has consitantly shown keen analytical judgment, an ex- ceptional ability to evaluate character, the highest of moral principles and withal a kindliness and courtesy which has en- deared him to all with whom he has come in contact.
The remaining Selectmen will miss him at their meetings, will miss his valued opinions, but perhaps most of all his per- sonality and keen sense of humor.
