A pension system for town employees became operative on July 1. Two janitors, Mr. Charles Stevens and Mr. Eugene Lenners, retired in September under the provisions of the Retirement Act. Both had rendered excellent service including a wholesome influence in their contact with the pupils.
COMMENT
The total number of pupils in the Wakefield schools declined by 116 last year, but as yet the present tendency toward decreased school popula- tion cannot result in any large savings to the Town. It has enabled the Committee to close two classrooms and save the salary of two teachers, but increased cost of school supplies and higher maintenance costs have more than offset this saving.
From an educational standpoint, the outstanding problem in Wakefield's schools is the two-platoon system in the High School. It not only affects the regular study program, but also all extra-curricula activities. For in- stance, all band and orchestra rehearsing has to be done after the after- noon session or in the evening.
121
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Under the present system, the working day for the pupils is far too short. A very large number are in school only four hours a day, and so practically all of their lessons must be studied at home. Under a one- session plan, all pupils were in school six hours a day, yet we endeavor to accomplish as much now as we did years ago. It simply cannot be done.
In spite of these handicaps the Committee is carrying on, and the students are being given the best possible training.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
CLASS MOTTO "Work and Win"
CLASS COLORS Green and Gold
CLASS SONG FAREWELL We salute you, Alma Mater! And we bid you fond adieu For the time has come upon us To express our love for you.
We must leave your friendly portals And forsake your guiding hand, As we face Life's problems bravely In an everchanging land.
We behold the shadows falling Over days we loved so well; Yet the beauty of their passing In our hearts will ever dwell.
And although we must not tarry, Still a backward glance we cast At our dear one, Alma Mater, Sweetest mem'ry of the past.
Words by Lawrence Joseph Burns, '37 Music by Dean M. Woodhull, '37
