O Wakefield High! to thee we pledge An everlasting faith and love.
Thy yielding doors of knowledge sweet Have led us to the stars above.
A firm, though gentle, guiding hand, Thou made us what we are to be.
Our gifts of truth and higher thought, Ideals-all these we owe to thee.
As on through life we swiftly go, May this forever be our aim: To strive in every noble way To honor Alma Mater's name.

Report of Recreation Commission
The playground season opened this year on July 1st and for the second time under the direction and supervision of William J. Dempsey. New assistant instructors were added to the staff as only Miss Frances Purdy returned. Mr. William Healy was elected as also were Miss Gertrude Mac- donald, Miss Mary Humphreys and Miss Ellen Ashenden.
A new playground was opened on Water Street and it was a great suc- cess. New apparatus was added and an average of fifteen hundred children a week attended the new recreation grounds. The Common was once more used as a playground and the shady trees and lake breezes helped the In- structors keep the children coming daily to enjoy the many things provided for their recreation.
Supervised play was held each day and dancing classes were held each morning. Baseball, Volleyball, Track and other athletic teams were formed. The National playground tests for medals were given and many of the youngsters were rewarded for their efforts. A Field Day was held with many races for all ages. The Annual Demonstration at the Common attracted about three thousand people. Weekly Novelty Contests were held and prizes given.
