CLASS SONG
The time has come for parting, To leave this fertile plain- May we search the paths of knowledge, Not tread the beaten lane. The easy roads are crowded, The level roads are long, While on the pleasant highway, The drifting folks belong.
Off yonder where it's rocky, And the grade is mighty steep, You will find the ranks are dwindling- Few travelers do we meet. The work that calls for vigor, And the task that's hard to do,
Results in greatest vict'ry For us, dear school, and YOU!
-Charlotte Koallick

REPORT OF RECREATION COMMISSION
Report of Recreation Commission
The Recreation Commission reports a very satisfactory and successful season. This year we conducted recreational activities during the eight weeks of July and August at the playgrounds at the Park and Water Street. We also provided supervision for a newly opened playground at Green- wood. The playground staff consisted of two men and five girls.
During the summer the director, Mr. William Dempsey, was given a leave of absence at his own request, and his work was very ably carried on by Mr. William Healey. On the basis of the appropriation of $1,500.00 the recreation commission figures that the town has spent less than ten cents per child in attendance at the playground.
The work this year consisted of athletics of the usual types, pageantry, folk dancing, hand-craft, story-telling, apparatus play, sand-box play and weekly novelty contests. The recreation commission wishes .to extend its thanks to Miss Carleton, Librarian, for conducting the story-telling groups.
We recommend that additional money be spent on the Water Street playground this year for resurfacing the grounds and planting shade trees. We also recommend that a fence be erected at this playground to provide protection for the children in the event that the brook adjacent to this playground is deepened. We strongly recommend the appropriation of sufficient money to install two tennis courts in the rear of the Colonel Hart- shorne House. This marks our first recommendation for facilities for adult recreation.
We hope, after a recreational survey of the town is made under the supervision of the National Playground Association, to recommend a pro- gram that will place Wakefield in a position, in respect to recreation, that will compare favorably with other towns and cities of the same size.
Respectfully submitted,
EUGENE J. SULLIVAN,
Chairman, Wakefield Recreation Commission.
