"Clock and telephone rectifiers were installed at the Franklin School, replacing the wet cell batteries. Two radiators were installed in the first , floor corridor of the Montrose School. The teachers' room at the Warren School had to be renovated after a fire caused some damage to the furni- ture and walls.
"The Light Department has again cooperated with our Department in several ways, for which we are grateful and which we publicly acknowledge."

CLASS SONG
To Wakefield High School We leave thy portals, Wakefield High To breast life's bulwarks strong. Equipped in mind, we say farewell And swiftly march along. We're thankful to Almighty God For schools and teachers all.
No matter what the path we've trod, We'll fight at Freedom's call.
Refrain
To thee we send, O Wakefield High, Thy praises sweet in song. We'll raise thy banner to the sky, Emblem of right, not wrong.
Amidst the tumult and the strife, Despite this wartime greed. We'll fight to win. We'll forfeit life To end the tyrant's creed. Let Justice light the world anew, Let Faith, and Hope, and Love Dispel grim Battle's flaming hue- Bring Peace from God above.
Words by Barbara Dower, '43 Music by Angelina Granese, '43
Class Motto "Try, Trust, and Triumph"
