For the Wilbraham Public Schools, 1956 has been a most difficult and challenging year. Crowded classes and double sessions reduced the efficiency of the staff and the educational growth of the pupils.
1956 will stand out as a year of great achievement towards solv- ing the long range educational needs of this community. These steps were taken:
In January, with elementary pupils crowded forty to a class- room, junior high pupils holding classes on the stage and in the cafeteria, and the construction of the new Stony Hill School begin- ning to show progress, citizens of the community met almost daily to plan an Educational Conference. The purpose of this conference was to find ways to make certain that sufficient educational facilities would be available as needed. The conference was held January 30 and the overflow crowd learned what the school needs of this com- munity were likely to be. The planning committee recommended ways in which the problems could be solved.
This conference was sponsored by eighteen civic groups, each of which sent a representative to serve on the study group and pre- pare for the conference. Mrs. Louise D. Schatz served as Chairman of the study group and worked diligently in organizing the com- mittee and preparing the conference. The reports of the community conference are the first detailed long range study of the growth of this community and its impact on the public school system. Of immediate importance, the community conference adopted a resolu- tion that an article be inserted in the warrant for the annual Town Meeting to authorize the naming of a Regional Planning Committee.
At the March Town Meeting, the voters authorized the formation of a Regional Planning Committee and Mr. Marshall E. Roper, Mr. Ernest W. Furnans, Jr., and Mr. Francis E. Reese were appointed. The Regional Planning Committee joined with a like committee from Hampden and on October 22, 1956, following seven months of inten- sive study, planning, and research, presented a report and recom- mendation to a special Town Meeting. The report of the Hampden- Wilbraham Regional School District Planning Board was printed in a 43 page booklet and together with recommendations from the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, and School Committee was mailed to each residence in town. The recommendations of the committee were (1) to join with Hampden to form a Regional High School District and (2) to start final plans and specifications on a 12 room addition to the Stony Hill School. Both recommendations were accepted by the voters; the regional school district was formed; and final plans were prepared for the Stony Hill addition.
With the opening of school in September, 1956, the increased enrollment required the introduction of a double session system. The emergency plan used earlier - classes on the stage and in the cafeteria and doubling up of grades - did not provide enough space to house all the children. Since the exact date of occupancy of the new Stony Hill School was uncertain, double sessions were scheduled

at The Pines School. On November 5, through the cooperation of Mr. Frank Madigan, contractor, those pupils attending the afternoon session were transferred to the Stony Hill School and all pupils began to attend school on a full day basis.
Double sessions were a new and expensive experience for Wilbra- ham. In actual dollar costs, the additional transportation mileage and hourly requirements resulted in a daily charge of $20.00. An additional financial loss to the community was the planned and paid instructional time which was not used. Each teacher on the double session schedule did his best to continue with the daily in- structional program within the shortened hours of the double session schedule. Educationally, the loss was the greatest. Progress of the pupils was retarded; special, on-the-spot help could not be given; and the confusion and problems of sharing desks and instruc- tional materials shortened the already meager teaching day.
Census figures indicate that September, 1957 will find the enroll- ment again increased and the school facilities lacking the needed rooms. The completion of the Stony Hill addition in early 1958 and the opening of the Regional High School in 1959 should prevent a reoccurrence of a double session program and assure the Wilbra- ham pupils of adequate educational facilities.

munities, but entering the Wilbraham schools when their families move to this town, continues to increase.
The School Committee is greatly indebted to the citizens who served on the Educational Conference and all those who supported the study. The Regional Planning Committee, the Elementary Sur- vey Committee, and the School Building Committee have worked diligently to provide improved educational facilities for the children of Wilbraham. The assistance and support provided by the Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee has made these achievements possible. The committee wishes to express its appreciation for the fine work and splendid loyalty again given by the school staff.
The 1957 School budget shows an increase of $85,511.00. Three items make up the majority of the increase: Teachers' Salaries, $32,856.00, due to the addition of seven teachers to the staff and an increase of $300.00 effective September 1, 1957 for the staff of forty; Tuition, $21,783.00, 51 additional pupils scheduled to attend the Springfield High Schools at an increased rate (Trade High School tuition rate has been increased by $75.00 effective January 1, 1957) and Transportation, $10,596.00, new three-year contracts at a 10 per cent increase and additional pupils to transport. Other increases reflect the operation of an additional school, the increased cost of supplies and services, and the additional number of pupils attending school. The increases are partially offset by the additional state reimbursement for next year.
The School Committee believes that its primary duty is to develop sound educational policies for the Wilbraham schools and to adminis- ter them as efficiently and economically as is feasible. Not only must additional facilities be provided for the increasing number of pupils, but the educational program must be improved as it is enlarged. Future education and employment of these pupils demands the best possible training, not only in academic achievement, but in work habits and study skills. The basis of a successful school system is the teaching staff. Every effort has been made to select the best possible candidates and efficiently utilize their abilities in this system. The loss of trained teachers to other systems has been minimized by the adoption of a realistic and competitive salary schedule. Individuals failing to meet the required standards have not been reappointed.
On the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, a two- day workshop was held in late August for teachers new to the Wilbraham schools. Meetings were held discussing school policies, schedules, and courses of study. Each new teacher met with the supervisors, principals, and one member of the faculty who had taught the corresponding grade or subject. The complete school staff met again the day before school opened to review the plans for the present school year. The initial reward for this program was the smoothness of the opening days of school. Although many of the teachers relinquished some of their normal vacation time for this workshop, all of them have spoken of its value and of their willingness to participate again. The committee is pleased with the new program and proud of the results attained. The committee feels that with the continued enthusiastic support of the citizens of Wilbraham, the schools will provide the education you want for your children.
