Changes were made in the Science Department classrooms at the High School. Additional changes were made in the heating system of the Lincoln School.
Our schools were used during the year by the Scouts, Defense Organi- zations, C. Y. O., Parent-Teachers and Community Associations, Ameri- can Red Cross and for the federal loan drives.
An assistant janitor was appointed to the Greenwood School, thus giving the janitor deserved assistance in maintaining this building, which is second to the High School in classroom and area space and community activity.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
CLASS SONG Song of Youth-1944 With Life's smiling springtime behind us, And her pleasing summer before, We stand at this moment victorious, And view Alma Mater once more.
We've planted our gardens with labor, They blossom with red and bright gold.
Each petal links us with our neighbor And bids us win honor untold.
To strive for sweet Peace is our duty Till Victory tells us we're done.
Classmates, without work there's no victory-
So our labor has just begun!
Words by Laurence M. Stickney, '44 Music by Barbara A. Rowell, '44 Class Colors Gold and Burgundy
THE CLASS HYMN: TO OUR SERVICEMEN
No victory without labor, and no dawn without the night,
Emblazoned in armor of God, they labor for the right. Spread north and south, and east and west, on land, on sea, in air Our classmates join the world-wide search for peace and justice fair.
No victory without labor, and no freedom without fight,
These words re-echo in their ears, resplendent in their might
As Servicemen they still march on and high our standard bear. O Classmates, where'er you may be, we offer fervent prayer.
James E. Fox, '44
