During the summer the School Committee drew up a new salary sched- ule which was adopted to be effective September 1. See Appendix B.
During the fall many salary changes have been made throughout the State increasing the maximum. A committee of the Teachers' Club has been gathering data, and early in January it will present these and recom- mendations to the Committee.
The following paragraphs are excerpts from the report of the Super- visor of Attendance:
"The major assignment during 1946, outside of regular attendance duties, was the taking of the "Pre-School Census" from April to July. This census was the first taken (in recent years) and was as accurate as can be had of the approximately 4500 houses in Wakefield, including apartment houses with as many as ten families.
Due to the daily shifts among our residents, chiefly on account of the acute housing situation, and the large number of new houses which have been, and are being, built, and its resultant effect upon our pre-school census figures, your supervisor recommends that it be conducted again in 1947."

THE COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM of The Class of Nineteen Forty-six
WAKEFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Wakefield, Massachusetts
THE AUDITORIUM
JUNE THE SIXTH
EIGHT O'CLOCK
THE CLASS HYMN FOREVER FORWARD
We leave tonight this cherished hall, Our hearts with eagerness are rife. We grasp our blessings, heed His call, And ford the swirling stream of Life. Our youth, our dreams, a world at peace, Our heritage-a land that's free. Pray God that these gifts may not cease! The chance is ours-we hold the key.
Face life with ideals ever high, Do good each day, though deeds be small. With hearts and minds triumphant, cry Our motto clear, "Truth Conquers All"! At length the roaring torrents calm; We glimpse ahead the fading sun. Through strains of some far-distant Psalm, We hear the welcome words, "Well done!"
