REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Mr. W. B. Atwell, Supt. of Schools,
Dear Sir :-
Herewith is submitted the annual report of the Principal of the High School.
ROLL OF HONOR
The Roll of Honor, consisting of the names of members of the High School at the date of the Declaration of War against Germany and who are now in active service in the United States Army and Navy, is as follows: Norman C. Mansur, 4th Co., Fort Slocum, New York.
Sergt. Jas. G. Brown, Co. A, 104th U. S. Inf. Am. Ex. Forces.
Corp. Mortimer Butler, Hdq. Co., 101st U. S. Inf. Am. Ex. Forces.
Robert Gibbs, United States Navy.
Isa Jacobs, United States Navy, Radio Service.
Roy E. Luken, E Co., 102d U. S. Inf. Am. Ex. Forces.
Dudley Sargent, Hdq. Co., 101st U. S. Inf. Am. Ex. Forces.
Frank Glynn, United States Navy.
THE WAR AND THE SCHOOL.
Dr. John H. Finley, Commissioner of Education of the State of New York, on his return from France last Sept. reported that France was doing everything in her power to keep her educational system running. "Near the battle line she is opening schools in caves and providing both teachers and children with gas masks." However heavily the needs of the hour fall upon the men and women of to-day, they must not be allowed to affect the defenses of the future. Colleges and schools must continue as usual. If the War should drag along over many weary months, the ranks of trained men will inevitably become thinned and the next generation will suffer because of the lack. The ranks must be recruited from the High School membership of to-day. Not only must the High School supply the normal demand for college men, but also the extraordinary demand to make good the losses entailed by the war. Now is the time when High School influences should turn, as a patriotic duty, young men in the direction of higher education. The call for youth not yet twenty-one to fill the vacant places in the higher institutions is urgent. A man of means could make no better investment or perform no more patriotic act than to make possible a college or technical education for some promising youth unable, otherwise, to secure it. The ranks of the grad- uating classes can well be scrutinized and all promising material encouraged to go on further with their education. This is not the time for such material to be lost.
LIBERTY LOAN
The High School, in common with many other agencies, lent its assistance in the advertisement and sale of both issues of Liberty Bonds. Through its efforts some eleven thousand dollar's worth was disposed of.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
FOOD CONSERVATION
As far as possible, the school has done its share in the direction of food conservation. In accordance with Mr. Henry B. Endicott's request, no white bread has been served at the lunch counter for six weeks on Wednesdays and Thursdays and no meat of any sort on Tuesdays and Fridays. In the place of meat in the sandwiches served, peanut butter has been substituted and graham bread is offered in the place of wheat bread.
In the classes in General Science, much attention has been given to the study of war demands in the direction of food supplies. In connection with the first meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association, was an exhibit of war bread made by pupils of the first year class after recipes recommended by the National Government.
Pupils, both boys and girls, have been encouraged in their efforts to grow war gardens and have met with gratifying success. It is hoped and expected that another summer will see an even greater success.
PHYSICAL TRAINING FOR GIRLS
Each girl in school has the benefit of Miss Blaikie's instruction for about. twenty minutes each week. Having no gymnasium or hall we are obliged to resort to the corridors for most of this work. Despite this handicap of limited room and time, the girls are enthusiastic and much good is resulting. If we had the proper facilities, a wonderful work in the symmetrical development of the girls of the school could be done. Asit is, I am enthusiastic and see much promise in Miss Blaikie's efforts.
SPANISH
There seems to be a demand for the introduction of Spanish into the curriculum. With the inevitable expansion of American Commercial rela- tions in Mexico and the South American States, it would seem that there would be sooner or later a demand for men and women with a knowledge of this language. The High School Parent-Teachers' Association has appointed a committee to investigate the teaching of Spanish in High Schools. The results of this investigation will be available before the end of the school year.
COLLEGE ENTRANCE CERTIFICATE BOARD
The certificate right of the Wakefield High School has been extended for another period of three years. This means that the school has the right to send pupils to the colleges represented in the board on the certificate of the principal, i. e., without examination.
MISCELLANEOUS
The School is in receipt of annual subscriptions to several magazines from the High School Parent-Teachers' Association.
During the week of Dec. 14-21, there was hung in the large room a collection of photographs and mounted textiles from the Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibit was an object of study by many pupils and townspeople.
I22
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Thanks are due the officers of the Kosmos Club for their kindness in extending invitations to their meetings to the members of the Senior Class.
Through the kindness of an unknown friend, the school is in receipt from Camp Devens of a list of thirty-nine members of Co. A, who were at some time connected with the High School.
The following gifts have been received:
Picture of the Cathedral of Rheims-from the Class of 1919
Picture of the Lauterbrunnen Valley- from the Class of 1920. Shells of the Pearl Oyster from Tahiti, Pacific Ocean-Mr. W. S. Ripley Native headdress, Society Islands-Mr. W. S. Ripley.
Indian Tomahawk, South Scituate-Mr. W. S. Ripley.
Of the 854 pupil's entering High School in the past six years, 454 have remained to graduate or 53 per cent. During the preceding six years, the classes of 1907-1912 inclusive, out of 701 entering, 331 graduated or 47 per cent.

MOTTO-LABOUR CONQUERS ALL CLASS SONG Blanche Therese Killorin
The time has come for us to leave The happy scenes of High School days, And in our hearts we all must grieve, For 'tis the parting of the ways.
So like the breath of fragrant flowers Which on the breeze must soon away; We closer hold these fleeting hours That nearer bring the parting day.
'Till now our thoughts have been for pleasure; To-day the world before us lies. This day of day has brought new treasures, O Youth! to Work and Duty rise.
With Truth and Honor as our goal We'll heed and answer to Life's call. Let's consecrate each heart and soul To prove that "Labour conquers all."

Respectfully submitted, CHARLES H. HOWE
REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Examination of pupils for contagious disease and for contagious and parasite skin disease continues to be a considerable part of the work of the School Physician, though there has been a marked decrease in the number of cases detected since the school nurse has been looking after the home treatment.
Examination of the nose and throat has been made of all children in the grades and examination of the teeth in the sixth grade and above. The dentists examined the teeth of the first five grades.
Many special examinations have been made for suspected disease and numerous notices sent home. Tuberculosis is very rare except occasional tubercular glands. Deformities are also rare in our school population except those due to infantile rickets which are usually arrested before school age.
As in previous years, no treatment is given by the school physician unless specifically requested by the parents. It seems likely that the Legislature will shortly invest the school physician with the authority and place upon him the duty of treatment. How far that should be done in a town like ours is still a debatable question. The school nurse has co-operated in every way and assisted very greatly.
