I wish to express my appreciation to the town officials who have cooperated so fully with the schools. The several boards and com- mittees have continued to provide assistance wherever needed. The personnel at the Town Office have, as in the past, contributed greatly to the orderly operation of the schools.


The School Building Committee has had many seemingly im- possible problems to solve in the designing and construction of the new elementary school. The faithful attention of the members of this committee to the duties inherent in their appointment deserves the appreciation and respect of every citizen in the community.


The conscientious, loyal work of the teachers and staff members has made this past year one of real educational achievement. I thank each of them for the spirit and attitude with which they faced crowded classrooms and difficult schedules. This community can well be proud of the teachers and the work being accomplished.


The custodians continue to take excellent care of the school plants. Their pride in their work, cooperation with the pupils and teachers, and their ability to carry out minor and many major repairs, makes them very important to the efficient operation of the system. One of the important factors in the recruiting of prospective teachers is the building in which they will work. Time after time, good teachers have decided to accept a contract in Wilbraham after visiting our clean, well maintained schools. I feel the community will continue to take pride in and appreciate the work being done by our custodians.


The office staff has completed another year of outstanding work. Its loyal attention to the interests of the community, and its diligent completion of the necessary reports and records have assisted greatly in the progress of the schools. Again, this year, state and federal audits showed the excellent standard of work. Added duties result- ing from Public Law 874, the School Building Committee, the paper work for the injection of polio vaccine, and the Community Confer- ence were completed successfully. The continued growth of the system has added responsibilities to the duties of the office staff, and some record keeping and other non-teaching duties formerly carried out by the teachers are now being done in the office. It is with full appreciation that I thank this part of the staff for its contribution to the school system of Wilbraham. Its members are truly a part of the team that has been working so effectively for the children of this community. The new office, with its adequate room and equip- ment, has resulted in more effective use of this personnel.


In closing, may I thank you, the School Committee, for the assist- ance and understanding you have shown. The community benefits from having members of the School Committee serve more than one term. Most of the policy decisions facing the schools are of long range importance to the educational future of the children. As the

system becomes larger, more complex, and requiring additional funds to correctly educate these children, the value to the community and the schools, of experienced committeemen increases. This willingness to continue to serve despite considerable personal sacrifice assures a continuity in the development of the Wilbraham schools. In the four years that I have been privileged to be your educational advisor and business manager, no policy decision or employment vote has been made on basis other than that of the best interests of the children. The complete lack of sectionalized thinking, the insistence on con- sidering the community as a unit, and the desire to secure the best available personnel in open competition with other nearby areas, has made working here most pleasant. These qualities so evident in com- mittee action are constantly practiced by you as individual members.

Report of Wilbraham School Building Committee


Contractors' bids for the new school were opened on October 5th, 1955. The low bid of $284,391.00 was submitted by Mr. F. W. Madigan of Worcester. On the basis of this bid, the total cost of the school exceeded the sum appropriated at the Town Meeting on June 7th.


After meeting with the Wilbraham Financial Committee and the Massachusetts Emergency Finance Board in Boston, the following revised budget was presented to and unanimously approved by the voters at a special Town Meeting on October 17th:


Building


$285,000.00


Site Improvement

Cost of Land

Equipment

Blue Prints


1,500.00


Fees


20,000.00


Contingency


12,800.00


TOTAL


$365,000.00


The Building Committee subsequently visited three schools which had been constructed by Mr. Madigan, and on October 27th the final contracts were signed. Shortly afterward, the Building Committee received bids for preliminary site work, and awarded the contract to Edward N. Christianson. The contract for gravel for the road and parking area was awarded to Walter Clark.


A six inch water pipe and hydrant have been installed by the Wilbraham Water Department and electrical lines by the Worcester County Electric Company. A catch-basin and culvert needed for proper drainage was installed by the Wilbraham Highway Department.


At the time this report was written, the construction of the footings and foundations were proceeding as rapidly as the inclement weather permits.
