In 1964, sidewalks were recommended for Stony Hill Road, Tinkham Road, and South Main Street. A request for an article in the 1965 Town Meeting to consider the construction of a side- walk on Springfield Street between Stony Hill Road and the
9
City Line has been submitted to the Selectmen. With an esti- mated saving of $3,500.00 per year in transportation costs, this proposed sidewalk appears to be a sound community investment.
In 1964, 192,600 hot lunches were served to pupils in the school cafeterias. This program, started in September 1950, con- tinues to operate on a self-supporting basis. Pupils pay twenty- five cents per day for a lunch, complete with milk and dessert. The state and federal governments support the program with a cash reimbursement of nine cents per meal served plus distribu- tions of surplus commodities.
As the volume of school business has continued to increase, sound purchasing procedures have required a continued review of the buying of supplies and materials. The School Committee now issues specifications and bid requests on all instructional and office supplies, transportation, dairy products, bakery products, fuel, custodial and maintenance supplies. By combining the needs of the Hampden, Wilbraham and District School Systems into a single bid request, substantial savings have been realized.
In the fall of 1964, following a detailed study and discussion, the committee voted to authorize a school savings program on a trial basis. In the first month of operation, 1026 accounts were opened, 3252 deposits were handled, and $3,905.91 was deposited.
This school savings program, as approved by the School Com- mittee, is entirely operated by the bank personnel. Teachers do not handle the money or utilize instructional time for this project.
The school program experienced a series of difficult losses as a result of deaths and retirements of key members of the policy- making and staff groups.
Mr. Bruce Stephens, elected to the School Committee in 1962, died in June following a short illness. In his term of office, Mr. Stephens demonstrated a major interest in quality education and a sincere determination to achieve efficient operational methods. Despite his limited term of service, he made a lasting impression on the Wilbraham schools.
Mrs. Ethel Musselman declined nomination for re-election at the March election. First appointed in 1956 to fill out the term of Mrs. Louise Schatz, Mrs. Musselman was elected three times to the Wilbraham School Committee. While a member of the school committee, Mrs. Musselman served as a member of the Regional School District Committee during the years when Minnechaug High School was planned and opened, as a member
10
of the Pines School Survey Committee and Building Committee, and as a member of the Mile Tree School Survey Committee and Building Committee. Her attention to detail, her careful con- sideration of all facets of a problem, and her basic sense of fair- ness made her a valuable member of the Wilbraham School Com- mittee.
In January, Mrs. Mary E. Johnston, a first grade teacher at The Pines School, died suddenly. Appointed in Wilbraham in 1950, Mrs. Johnston had an unexcelled record of successful teach- ing. Her ability to teach pupils to read and to instill a feeling of genuine accomplishment combined with her cheerfulness and enthusiasm for her work, makes her loss a major one.
Mrs. Emily G. Bready, Head Cook at The Pines School and Operating Manager of the hot lunch program in that building, died suddenly in December. Appointed in 1960, Mrs. Bready combined an efficient and well-organized lunch program with a sincere concern for the well-being of the pupils. She will be greatly missed.
In June, upon the completion of forty-one years of dedicated teaching in the Wilbraham Public Schools, Miss Marion Holland retired. Throughout her years of service here, covering the de- pression years of the thirties, World War II, and the post war years of major community growth in Wilbraham, Miss Holland continued her effective teaching in the elementary grades and watched, with pride, the achievements of her pupils. In the last years of her teaching, grandchildren of her first pupils were mem- bers of her classes. The committee wishes her many happy years in her well-earned retirement.
Mrs. Clara B. Merrill, a first grade teacher, retired in June. Appointed in Wilbraham in 1944, Mrs. Merrill leaves a record of devoted and faithful attention to the education of our youth. In her continued search for improved methods of teaching, she inspired her associates to examine and improve their work. The committee wishes her happiness and good health in her well- merited retirement.
Your committee calls your attention to the school statistical section of this report. The enrollment table, census report, and five-year comparison table emphasizes the almost unbelievable continued growth of this community and the impact on the school system.
Between October 1, 1963, and October 1, 1964, one hundred
11
sixty four pupils were added to the grades one through eight enrollment.
A continuation of this sizeable increase, combined with the large number entering first grades, as indicated by the census report, means that the community is faced with the need for six or seven additional classrooms annually for the foreseeable future.
The 1964 School Survey Committee, named by the Selectmen at the request of the School Committee early this year, has made - in its detailed study - a major contribution toward a solution of the problem of our needs for additional facilities. The School Committee endorses, enthusiastically, the recommendations of the Survey Committee. The development of a long range pro- jection of student population and a carefully matched organiza- tion of needs and proposed facilities is a desirable blueprint for orderly growth and reasonable planning. The dual problem of providing necessary educational facilities for the junior high pupils and the required space for the elementary pupils can be most economically solved by the construction of a new junior high school and the conversion of Memorial School to an elemen- tary building.
Having experienced the educational and operational benefits that have occurred as a result of regionalization at Minnechaug High School, this committee recommends that grades seven and eight be added to the existing Region. In addition to a substantial increase in the amount of state aid in building and equipping the school, it is more efficient - on a per pupil basis - to build a larger unit. Educationally, the larger enrollment makes possible greater specialization of instruction and the recruitment and retention of the most qualified teachers.
In support of this committee's recommendation to regionalize grades seven and eight, your attention is called to the record of Minnechaug graduates as it appears in the District Report. These graduates, in a majority of cases, were products of the Wilbra- ham School System. They were well grounded in basic skills and attitudes when they entered Minnechaug. The record shows they have made excellent progress in high school.
If we are going to continue to adequately prepare and educate the ever increasing number of youths of Wilbraham, the most efficient utilization of personnel and facilities must be developed. Regionalization is a means of getting greater return on the edu- cational expenditure.
12
The School Committee commends the school staff for the excel- lent educational program, efficient business operation, and care- ful maintenance of facilities. Despite the continued growth in the system, the changing demands for educational achievement, and the difficulties that developed this year, the School Commit- tee is recorded as approving the results achieved.
The continued support of the citizens and the elected and appointed officials of Wilbraham is necessary in the years ahead if this committee is to continue to provide a good educational program.

An examination of the School Committee Financial Report and the Analysis of Expenditures highlights the complexity of the development of a school budget. In September, when the committee begins developing the itemized budget for the next year, pupil enrollment; final staff requirements; and the exact cost of textbooks, supplies and services are not definitely known. Major repairs and replacements are scheduled and each year, emergencies develop. Each month, throughout the fiscal year, the actual expenditures (by account) are compared with the budget estimate on a year to date basis; the funds committed; and the year end balance (by account) is developed.
Preparation of the school budget is not an exact science. The experience of previous years and a careful estimate of future requirements determine budget amounts. The School Committee does not include a contingency account in its budget to provide for emergencies. The flexibility of management within the budget appropriation that permits plus and minus balances - as the educational and maintenance needs develop - makes it possible to provide an effective educational program and adequately maintain the facilities within the voted budget.
The total budget expenditures are at 95.77% of the budget estimate - reflecting, in part, the successful implementation of sound business practices and economical operations. Within the budget, as shown by the account balances, over and under ex- penditures occurred during the year as emergencies developed and savings were realized:
1. Business Office Expense (plus $701.06) - a change in personnel resulted in this saving.
2. Principals' Office (plus $1,813.06) - three secretaries resigned and were replaced with less experienced individ- uals.
3. Teachers' Salaries (plus $16,213.52) - vacancies caused by: (1) the death of one teacher; (2) resignations of two others were filled with less experienced teachers. The re- quirement for substitutes, due to illness, was below the estimate.
4. Textbooks (minus $2,164.68) - two additional first grades, not anticipated when the budget was adopted, were opened and equipped in September.
18
5. Library (plus $905.81) - delay in the delivery of books ordered resulted in this balance.
6. Audio-Visual (plus $992.04) - new equipment was pro- vided by a federal grant.
7. Attendance (plus $1,508.29) - the committee was unable to employ a second School Adjustment Counsellor.
8. Health Services (plus $597.47) - health supplies were less than estimated. Substitute needs were below average.
9. Transportation (plus $1,431.64) - utilization of the new sidewalks reduced the scheduled bus service.
10. Custodians' Salaries (plus $746.00) - employment of additional personnel when Mile Tree School was opened was delayed.
11. Supplies Maintenance (plus $3,435.01) - standardization of materials for all schools, volume bidding, placing of orders and delivery on a once a year basis created this major saving this year.
12. Fuel (plus $4,433.50) - the requirements for Mile Tree School were an estimate when the budget was adopted.
13. Utilities (minus $524.44) - Mile Tree School utility needs were under estimated.
14. Maintenance of Buildings (minus $3,127.35) - major repairs on the Memorial School heating system were needed.
15. Maintenance of Equipment (plus $657.43) - prices for repair and replacement were less than estimated.
16. Fixed Charges (plus $788.31) - a new insurance policy for public buildings reduced this cost.
17. Tuition (plus $3,256.86) - only after pupils enroll for Trade High School and the Adult Evening Program is scheduled can exact tuition costs be determined.
