Parent-Teacher Associations, service clubs and others have demon- strated intelligent understanding and active support. You, as members of the School Committee, serving without remuneration, have accepted your responsibilities and given of your time and energy. The Finance Committee has likewise cooperated in helping us to meet our school needs.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN B. HENDERSHOT
RETIREMENT
During the past year the School Department lost, through retire- ment, the valued services of two of its capable teachers.
Mrs. Mary M. Harrington, teacher of the second grade at the Hurd School, retired as of July 1954. She was a graduate of Elmhurst Acad- emy, Providence, and of the Lesley School, Cambridge. Before she came to Wakefield in 1940 she taught for a number of years in Merrimac and Boston.
Miss Lydia M. Sullivan, teacher of the second grade at the Green- wood School, retired as of June 1954. Graduating from the Fitchburg State Teachers' College in 1908, she taught for eight years in her home town, Pepperell, Mass., before coming to Wakefield in 1916. Her teach- ing experience covered a period of forty-six years, thirty-eight of them in Wakefield.
It so happens that both Mrs. Harrington and Miss Sullivan were working with young children, and both were ideally fitted by nature and temperament for work with children of this age group. They loved children and their pupils loved them, the best tribute which can be paid to them.
The members of the School Committee, the administration and their associate teachers are grateful to them for their service, given so freely and gladly, to the boys and girls under their supervision, and wish them continued health and happiness in the years of their retire- ment.
Mr. G. Fred Dodge, a janitor in the School Department for twenty- four years, reached the retirement age as of December 31, 1954. His service was in the Montrose and Franklin Schools. To him go the thanks and best wishes of the Department.

THE COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM The Class of Nineteen Fifty-Four WAKEFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Wakefield, Massachusetts High School Auditorium-Eight O'clock June the Fourth
THE SPIRIT OF WAKEFIELD HIGH
Through all our great ambitions, No matter what the goals, Memories of warmest friendships Forever fill our souls. With fellowship and knowledge Our voices sing on high. Acclaim that wondrous spirit- Our pride in Wakefield High.
Many the carefree moments We've spent within these walls; Much counsel and much learning We've gained in these fair halls. About our cherished school days Reflections shimmer long : Of wisdom, sport, and friendship, Of happiness and song.
Chorus As we leave these halls and classrooms To build castles in the sky, We recall that loyal feeling- Spirit true to Wakefield High. Words by Donald Richard Stoddard Music by Sarah Elizabeth Wiley
