CLASS SONG
"Conquering and still to conquer"- What a brave theme for a song;
What a spur for hearts that falter When the paths of Life seem long
"Conquering and still to conquer"- May we heed its noble call
May we tighten up our armor, Bid new courage come to all.
"Conquering and still to conquer"- Helped by school-day memories dear,
Of the many fruitful lessons We were taught so kindly here.
"Conquering and still to conquer"- Now at last our watchword bold, On a snowy-white escutcheon Blazoned deep in words of gold.
Words by Ruth Parker, '28
Music by Margaret Moore, '28

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of Recreation Commission
The Playground season for the youngsters of the town was started on July 2nd under the supervision of Mr. William J. Dempsey and with the assistance of Miss M. Louise Leopold, Miss Frances Purdy and Mr. Richard Scanlon.
The youngsters were regular in their attendance with the daily aver- age of about five hundred. Many parents were on hand each day. A program was adopted which kept the children busy each day and each week certain objectives were attained. Supervised play was held each day and athletic teams were formed for girls and boys. During the season the Playground Athletic Tests were given and close to two hundred child- ren were awarded certificates and medals. Weekly Novelty Contests were held on Friday afternoons and they proved to be an incentive to the kiddies to be at the playground regularly.
Hand craft work was held under the direction of Mr. Dempsey and Miss Leopold. The boys confining their efforts to kite-making and airplane- making. Over one hundred kites were made and about fifty minature planes. The Glider contest in Boston opened with four Wakefield en- trants. The Contest for "Duration of Flight" was won by one of the Wake- field boys. Other hand work such as cart-repairing, stilt-making and poster work was given the boys. The girls had a fine exhibit of their work. Many pocketbooks, Dolls, Doilies etc., were made and placed in the down town windows.
Talks on First-Aid, Story Telling, and topics which the youngsters enjoyed were given. Folk Dancing was taught by Miss Purdy who also handled the girls' Tennis, Volley ball and Baseball teams. Mr. Scanlon had charge of the boys' athletic teams and series were played with and won from Reading, Melrose, Stoneham and Malden.
Checker Tournaments were held weekly as also were Quoits. The Beanbag board was continuously in use. Many children enjoyed the Sandboxes. A Field day was held and races were held in divisions accord- ing to the age of the youngsters. A Demonstration was planned but in- clement weather caused its postponement. However on the last day of the season although raining once more the activities were held in the Boat- House.

REPORT OF RECREATION COMMITTEE
The co-operation of the members of the Recreation, with the Instructors was a pleasure to them. Every member of the Commission visited the Play- ground often and helped in every way possible. With the coming of an- other season we hope to expand a little with a new playground and keep the youngsters happy during their vacation from school.
Respectfully yours,
WILLIAM J. DEMPSEY,
Playground Supervisor.
