TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of Tercentenary Committee
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Wakefield:
The Tercentenary Committee, appointed by Moderator O'Connell, following the Town Meeting of March, 1943, was composed of Messrs. William G. Dill, Cyrus M. Dolbeare, George W. Abbott, William E. Eaton, Orrin J. Hale, James F. Keating, Morrison Merrill, Miss Mary Hickey and Mrs. W. S. Ripley.
The first meeting was held May 12, 1943, with the entire membership present. Sixteen meetings were held between this first meeting and that of June 29, 1944, all in the Selectmen's Room, on Thursday evenings.
Organization
The committee organized with Mr. Hale as chairman, Mr. Abbott as treasurer and Mrs. Ripley as secretary. From time to time, as the need presented itself, members were added to the committee, so that the total working membership was 36. There were four resignations and three deaths - Albert W. Flint, Edward F. Preston and Fred W. Young.
The average attendance was 1534 persons, with six regularly appointed and circularized, but not reporting at any meeting.
Purpose
The committee was appointed with the authority to make plans for the observance of the 300th anniversary of the incorporation of the town, and this purpose motivated all its proceedings and acts. It had first, however, to consider the type of observance since all activity depended on this decision. Because of world hostilities, it was difficult, for several months, to foresee just what would be the situation in Wakefield in the Spring and early Summer of 1944. A flexible program was decided upon, which was to include such features as would make a celebration of the events. As all the citizens are aware, this rather complete program was later curtailed, as being in better taste in every way, and the word observance was stressed.
Sub-committee chairmen were appointed, as one feature after another seemed, in prospect at least, to be desirable. Two projects, however, met with favor from the entire committee, as being permanent and appropriate, whether the events would shape themselves as a celebration or as an observance. These were the erection or placing of tablets on historic sites or buildings, and a history of Wakefield, to bring up to date the "His- tory of Reading," written by Hon. Lilley Eaton and ending in 1874.
Morrison Merrill was made chairman of the sub-committee of the marking of historic sites, and William E. Eaton was appointed to compile the history. Both these men worked indefatigably from the moment of their appointment until the completion of their tasks, and both reported the progress of their projects at every meeting.
209
REPORT OF TERCENTENARY COMMITTEE
Historic Sites
Mr. Merrill and his committee made a list of two hundred spots that they found worthy of marking, but this list was later cut to ninety-one. The handsome markers are now to be seen in all parts of the town, and cause much favorable comment. The accurately expressed statements are printed in blue on a buff background, they are easily read and grateful to the eye. This project has met with general favor among citizens and visitors alike.
"History of Wakefield"
The preparation of the "History of Wakefield" entailed, of course, more hours and more exacting research and extensive writing than any other Tercentenary project. While the first purpose of the "History" was to bring it up to date, Mr. Eaton early decided to give a resumé of events from 1644 on through the three centuries, and this survey from the be- ginnings has been made in several other chapters. The fact that many citizens have no access to Lilley Eaton's History, made this plan a wise one.
Mr. Eaton was assisted by Miss Helen Carleton, who directed the research of several persons to whom were assigned certain decades of the last fifty years, which were studied for their highlights. Mrs. W. S. Ripley wrote in their entirety the chapters on "Education" and "Religious Prog- ress," as well as the article on the "Town Hall Portraits" and several short articles.
Mr. Eaton, already familiar from his studies, with the history of the town, put long hours into making his plan and into the execution of it, and he had experienced and intelligent assistance. The result of these months of labor appeared on May 29, in the form of the handsome 265- page book which is now a valued possession in eight hundred homes. A more extended review of the plan and scope of the "History" would be interesting, but is forbidden for lack of space. The "History" is lively in style, good looking, readable and valuable as a book of reference for adults and children alike.
Members of the High School Art Classes of Miss Isabel Hirst entered into a contest for cover and page designs. Money prizes were offered by the Historical Society and awarded to the four winners. Their creditable designs found favor among the purchasers of the "History."
Early in July, when the second edition had gone to press three hundred fifty copies of it had been engaged.
The week beginning Sunday, May 28, 1944, was decided upon as the official period for the observance, this coinciding with the observances in Reading and North Reading, and harmonizing also with the celebrations of 1844 and 1894.
Elaborate Plans Curtailed
Following this decision, the day-to-day tentative programs were planned and announced from meeting to meeting by sub-committee chair- men. Since the limitations of a report confine it to things actually accom- plished, it must suffice to say here that at the meeting of January 6, 1944,
210
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
the committee voted to eliminate everything in the nature of purely enter- taining events, sports, out-door concerts, and so on; and to confine the observance to five days, i. e., from May 28 through June 1. The obvious reasons for this change may be summed up in the words, world hostilities, with twenty-one hundred Wakefield men in the service and a consequent sober mood throughout the community.
Plan Outlined
It remained, therefore, to record the activities actually carried out under the sponsorship of the committee, as set forth in the official program. Arranged with great attention to detail, and to smooth functioning, these events were enjoyed by large crowds of persons. The weather was ideal for the five days, with clear skies, and warm air, without too much humidity.
Sunday, May 28, 3:00 P. M., parade, Edward J. Connelly, Chief of Staff; Major Richard B. Dolbeare, Honorary Marshal; Frederick G. Gorman, Master of Ceremonies; Dedication of the Honor Roll Plaque, J. Frank Anderson, chairman of the dedication committee. Senator David I. Walsh, orator of the day. Monday, May 29, in the forenoon, references in the schools to the Tercentenary observance and its meaning. 7:45 P. M., lecture by Morrison Merrill in the hall of Beebe Memorial Library, with screen slides, illustrative of an earlier Wakefield.
Tuesday, May 30, Memorial Day, 10:00 A. M., solemn high military mass on the Common. 2:00 P. M., Memorial Day parade and exercises at the soldiers' monument.
Wednesday, May 31, 3:00 P. M. through 5:30 P. M., "Open House" at the Hartshorne House. Tea, conducted tours in house and garden by ladies in costume. 8:00 P.M., (a) concert of old-time music in the High School auditorium, conducted by Mrs. Robert King, acting supervisor of music in the public schools, High School glee clubs participating; (b) Historical address by William E. Eaton on the "Early History of Wakefield."
Thursday, June 1, 3:00 P. M. through 5:30 P. M., "Open House" at the Hartshorne House.
Publicity
The committee was fortunate in having as chairman of its Publicity Committee, Cyrus M. Dolbeare, Item Editor and Publisher. The fact that Mr. Dolbeare was chairman of this highly important committee meant that an adequate account of every meeting was featured in the Daily Item on the day following the meeting; that publicity in metropolitan journals was attended to, and that every activity, small or great, received his understanding treatment and consideration.
Greetings to Service Men
To the twenty-one hundred Wakefield men and women in the armed services tercentenary greetings were sent by the Tercentenary Committee and the Lucius Beebe Memorial Library. This project was initiated by Miss Carleton and was carried through under her supervision. A resumé of
211
REPORT OF TERCENTENARY COMMITTEE
the official program carried each an appropriate sketch. The sketches had been made by pupils of the seventh and eighth grades, under the direction of Hope McCloskey Dillaway. High School students and Boy and Girl Scouts assisted in addressing envelopes and folding the leaflets bearing the greetings.
Other Activities
1. Historical exhibit in Beebe Memorial Library, arranged by Miss Helen Carleton. Here were assembled pictures of historic sites in Wakefield and Reading and views of early meeting houses and old homes.
2. Also arranged and supervised by Miss Carleton, an exhibit of the work published by Wakefield writers. Fifty men and women were repre- sented, and their work ranged from poetry, scientific articles, stories for children, history, pageants, short stories, longer fiction, to editorials, travel, genealogy, and hymns.
3. The gasoline stringency put limitations on what would have been in better times, an important feature - that of conducted tours. As it was, Mr. Loubris did as much as he could under difficult circumstances.
4. Badges were obtained for the general committee and the program committee by the badge sub-committee, of which George Abbott was chairman. These were worn at the various official events.
5. During the week of the observance the room of the Historical Society, with members in attendance, was open to visitors, and many came to see the fine treasures belonging to the Society.
Relations with Sister Towns
Pleasant co-operation existed among the three committees of Wake- field, Reading and North Reading, and our meetings were frequently attended by the out-of-town chairmen and committee members. Through joint conferences, invitations were exchanged for the attendance of citizens upon the events in the other two towns, no actual events, involving the three towns seemed possible, however.
It was a matter of general regret that the play "Reading's Yesterdays," by Neil Robinson, performed in Reading by the Quannapowitt Players, could not also have been performed in Wakefield.
Finances
The appropriation of $4,000.00, made by the town at the special town meeting of January 17, 1944, was administered carefully by a sub- committee, composed of Chairman Hale, Frank P. Wakefield and Theodore Eaton. All sub-committees made earnest efforts to use the funds allotted to them economically, and the financial statement herewith attached, indicates how well they succeeded.
Accompanying this report is a copy of the official program, which contains all names, also announcements of events, that were carried out in accordance with the plans.
The committee is of the opinion that the simple observance was the wise one; and hopes that if, at the 350th or the 400th anniversary of the
212
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
incorporation of the town, these records shall be consulted, it will be plain from them, that the reasons for the brevity of the observance, its lack of display, the absence of exciting athletic events, out-door music, banquets and so on, will be attributed to the overwhelming fact of world hostilities, and a sober and saddened community that was thinking about its twenty- one hundred men and women in the service, rather than about having a good time for itself. The committee believes, however, that not a little of the work done by its members will prove to be of lasting value. This being true, its labors over thirteen and a half months will have been worth while.
Miscellaneous
Honorary members added to the committee on May 25 were the follow- ing surviving members of the Executive Committee of the 250th anniver- sary, namely: Harry Foster, Charles E. Walton and Charles N. Winship. Also surviving and a most active member of the 1944 committee is William E. Eaton, who compiled the 250th anniversary Memorial Volume, and as- sisted in compiling a smaller publication, issued previous to the 1894 cele- bration - "Wakefield Souvenirs." Col. Edward J. Gihon, surviving in 1944, was a member of the 1894 committees on "Procession and Outdoor Music" and "Games and Races."
The town presented a spic and span appearance during the observance. Main Street stores in the center of the town were handsomely decorated, so also were houses and other buildings on the route of the May 28 parade.
The baton carried in the parade of May 28 by the honorary marshal, Major Richard B. Dolbeare, was provided by Mrs. Edwin C. Miller of Waban, who stated that the late Edwin C. Miller had carried it as marshal, in the parade at the 250th anniversary in May, 1894. It is owned by the Historical Society.
Appreciation of the Chairman's Services
On behalf of her colleagues of the Town Tercentenary Committee, the secretary desires here to express their grateful appreciative thanks to Chairman Orrin J. Hale. He presided at all the meetings with conspicuous fairness; he had a knowledge of what every sub-committee was doing; he carried on the meetings with dispatch, but neglected nothing; and he watched carefully the expenditure of the appropriation.
The committee recognizes all this, and believes that the Town does so, as well.
EVA G. RIPLEY (MRS. W. S.), Secretary.
