During the year, Miss Helen Gilmore was made Dean of Girls and has entire charge of the social activities of the school. This is a new feature for us but I feel that a dean of girls was needed and the results have verified my belief. I know that the girls appreciate her position and that she will be able to advise with them much more effectively than the principal possibly could.
During the year many books have been added to the library. We received from the Charles H. Howe Memorial Fund The New Interna- tional Encyclopedia of twenty-five volumes also nintey-two books, from the Dramatic Club forty-four books and ten books from Mrs. Helen Gillis, also Mrs. Arthur J. Covell gave a large picture to the school.
We enjoy the new building and all the advantages of the rooms and apparatus. The one great need now is a stereoptican. A stereop- tican would be a great help in getting speakers for assemblies, also of untold value to the English, History, Art and Science Departments. I trust we can get one shortly.

CLASS SONG
Doris L. Frost, '24.
Our dear old class of '24 Bids "au revoir" to you, And to our happy High School life, With just a tear or two; The time of life we cherish most Is now about to pass, And we are starting on our way To accomplish one great task.
The class of "1924" Is proud of our dear school, Where we have strived to do our best, And raise the standard too; Tonight we're leaving all of you In self but not in thought, We'll never loose the memory Of the friendships we have sought.
Our teachers hold the warmest place Of love within our hearts, The memory of their guidance Will ne'er from us depart. The honors we have sought and won With willingness and zest Enshrine for us the name we love Class '24, the best.

Evening School and Americanization Report
Willard B. Atwell, Superintendent of Schools :-
The Evening School program was organized in 1924, as in the pre- vious year, under the following departments.
I. Adult Immigrant Education.
II. Commercial Subjects.
III. Grammar School Work.
IV. Practical Arts. Millinery-Dressmaking-Cooking.
Adult Immigrant Education.
It has been our aim during the past year to teach the English lan- guage and principles of government and good citizenship to the adult aliens of Wakefield in classes that met anywhere, at any time that the immigrants could be brought together in groups for instruction. The classes were held in the High School, the Heywood Wakefield factory, the homes and the club rooms. Every possible means was taken to in- form the immigrants of this opportunity for schooling and to induce them to take advantage of it.
One of the most marked features in the Americanization work in Wakefield has been the cosmopolitan nature of the classes. Wherein, during the past years, the classes were composed almost wholly of Ital- ians, there are now twenty nationalities represented, with an increasing number of Swedish, Norwegian, French, Irish and Canadian pupils. Among these people there is a splendid spirit of friendliness and coop- eration for they are all working toward one end-American citizenship.
I feel that the helpful spirit throughout the community, the generous interest which the citizens of Wakefield have shown in our Americani- zation program has been one of the greatest helps to its success. Co- operation on the part of industrial managers, librarian, patriotic and civil organizations has been noticeably felt and has done much to strengthen the work which the school department is trying to accomplish.
Practical Arts
Afternoon classes in Practical Arts have proved very popular.
171
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Registration in these classes this fall was so large that waiting lists were made. The attendance has been so good that some names on the list were not reached until December. The transfer of one millinery and one dressmaking class from evening sessions to an afternoon ses- sion might well be considered for another year. Arrangements have been made for an afternoon cooking class which will begin early in Jan- uary.
Commercial Program
Courses Offered.
I. Typewriting-English-Stenography.
II. Stenography-Typewriting-English or Bookkeeping
III. Penmanship-Arithmetic-Bookkeeping.
IV. English-Penmanship-Arithmetic.
Eligibility Rules.
Students who have completed grade seven or its equivalent may enter course IV which is preparatory for I or III.
Only graduates of grammar school or the equivalent will be admit- ted to courses I-II or III.
Owing to the impossibility of accommodating all who may wish to take typewriting, it will be necessary to limit that subject to pupils who have elected stenography or to those who have had an education equiva- lent to two years in high school.
Course II is an intermediate course open to those, only, who have had work in typewriting and stenography covering the amount accomplished in the first year of those subjects in the evening school.
The business English and commercial arithmetic which are offered in the commercial department are university extension courses and are conducted in close cooperation with the state department. The students paid fifty cents for their lesson assignments and the school department furnished the texts. At the satisfactory completion of each course, the pupils will receive certificates for their work, issued by the division of university extension.
The intermediate class in typewriting and stenography, which was commenced this year, has made rapid progress. This class is composed of those who began shorthand and typewriting last year and also of those who desired to review the principles. This course has been the

means of increasing the efficiency of pupils already holding office po- sitions and offers an enducement for pupils to start these subjects in the evening school.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Report of School Physician
Mr. W. B. Atwell, Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:
The year 1924 has been very free from epidemic and contagious dis- ease in the schools, and the condition of health of the pupils has been generally good. The First grade, the Fifth grade, and the First year in the High School have been given a standard physical examination and the results entered upon record cards furnished by the state. All other pupils have been examined for defects of nose, throat, and teeth. In. both instances notice has been sent to the parents if remediable defetts are noted. Examination has been made of pupils ill from, or showing symptoms of infectious diseases and of suspects and contact cases. Parasitic and contagious skin disease are continually making their ap- pearance, and no small factor is the reinfection from younger children in the home. over which we have no jurisdiction.
So far as we can determine, there has been no spread of the so- called serious contagious diseases in the schools, or from pupils in school, though the dissemination of scarlet fever is so obscure that it is unsafe to make a definite statement. Measles and whooping cough continue to be uninfluenced by any quarantine measures now in force.
If standard examinations and the use of state record cards are to be continued, and the state law requires it, provision should be made for filing space for the preservation of the records. Also, it would greatly help and simplify the work if each building could be equipped with scales.
In the conduct of examinations, which necessarily interferes with the school routine, the principals and teachers have cooperated in every way. The School Nurse has given her full cooperation and assistance. Without these the work would, of course, have been impossible.
CHARLES E. MONTAGUE, M. D. School Physician.
