The ERA projects have been a great help to the town, saving thous- ands of dollars in public works. An attempt has been made to make a permanent drainage system for the town. It has been practically com- REPORT OF SELECTMEN 73

pleted from North Avenue to the Saugus line, crossing Main Street and the High School grounds. It also takes care of drainage from the westerly part of Wakefield.

Another project of the ERA is the playground, at the corner of North Avenue and Church Street, on the land owned by the town. This will include a hockey rink, ball field, tennis court and a general play-

ground. When completed it will be one of the finest in the state.

Work is also progressing on the Greenwood playground and we expect this will be finished during the coming summer.

CWA was succeeded by ERA on the first of April, 1934. Between Nov. 22, 1933, when CWA projects began, and Dec. 31, 1934, the Government Aid for labor had amounted to $267,603.71, and the town had spent $33,- 718.73 for materials, trucking, first aid supplies, blasting, supervision, etc.

This Board urges serious consideration of a project during the summer of 1935 on cleaning up the shore of Lake Quannapowitt and eliminating the pollution which enters the lake.

The Board would recommend that one of the ERA projects for 1935 be new sidewalks on roads leading into Wakefield.

Police Department work this year has been of the usual routine done with the usual efficiency. The legal sale of liquor has increased the number of arrests for drunkenness. If the increase continues the town may have to 'add two permanent patrolmen to the force and increase the number of cells in the lock-up.

Fire Department efforts have resulted in Wakefield having one of the best years for low fire loss. Some outbreaks of fire with possibilities for serious damage have been stopped before much damage occurred. Various firemen are attending the State Fire School at Arlington.

MEMORIAL PICTURES Acting under vote of the Annual Town Meeting the Board appointed the following committee to carry out the securing and hanging of likenesses in a permanent form of those men who gave their lives in the World War before the Armistice was signed.

ment. Soldiers' Relief and Welfare applicants, working out their relief, have given considerable help to departmental work. The work in general has of necessity been confined mostly to repairs and maintenance. The only new permanent construction was done at North Main Street and on Main Street between the B. & M. R. R. tracks and Water Street. This completes the resurfacing of Main Street from Water Street to the Melrose line and the townspeople should be very proud of the result.

We also wish to thank all the town departments for their wonderful co-operation, also our Clerk, Mr. H. A. Simonds, and our Town Counsel, Mr. M. E. S. Clemons.

To the Citizens of Wakefield:

During the past year the unemployment situation has been as great as ever, but the expenditures of the Department have been relieved by the continuation of the CWA and ERA throughout the year. The clerical work of the Department has been as great as ever in its history, owing to the fact that a large amount of the detail work of the ERA has been carried out by this office. QUARTERS The work of the Department has been carried on with great difficulty owing to inadequate quarters, and this should be remedied without further delay.

DISCIPLINE With one exception has been good during the year. RECOMMENDATIONS During the last few years I have made none—but this year I must. I recommend the purchase of a new auto and the turning in of one now in use, as the cost of the up-keep of this car would be prohibitive. I also recommend two new officers.

Report of Board of Health

To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield:

The accompanying statistical table will show a comparison of infectious and reportable diseases for the past four years. The statistics for 1934 will show that for a second successive year the town has been quite free from such infectious diseases. 1931 1932 1933 193' Tuberculosis 12 13 12 9 Diphtheria 2 2 5 5 Pneumonia 19 16 9 9 Poliomyelitis 1 2 1 Measles 215 8 64 89 Mumps 4 3 16 8 Chicken-pox 20 27 10 14 Whooping Cough 17 5 20 6 Septic Sore Throat 1 4 Scarlet Fever 59 42 11 10 Typhoid Fever 7

Influenza 2 1 German Measles 3 Cerebral Spinal Meningitis 2

Tetanus 1 Dog Bites 26

Opthalmia Neonatorum 1

Miss Russell, the Health Nurse, made the following number of visits during the year 1934: Scarlet Fever 39 Venereal 8 Poliomyelitis 3 Diphtheria 20

Whooping Cough . 8 Measles 80 Chicken-pox 2 Tuberculosis (including contacts) 614 Scabies 3 Miss Russell also has made during the year the following trips to the different sanatoriums with patients: 22 trips to North Reading State Sanatorium at North Reading, Mass. 5 trips to Middlesex County Sanatorium at Waltham, Mass. 1 trip to Lakeville State Sanatorium at Middleboro, Mass. 2 trips to Rutland State Sanatorium at Rutland, Mass. 3 trips to Essex Sanatorium at Middleton, Mass. 1 trip to Shriners' Hospital in West Springfield, Mass. 88 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

The Board feels that a comparison of the cost to the town of Tuber- culosis and contagious diseases may be of interest to the citizens showing as it does what the town has been doing through its Board of Health during the past five years, for the comfort and protection of its citizens.

1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 Tuberculosis $2,610.27 $2,890.97 $2,327.71 $3,223.42 $2,250.99 Diphtheria 55.59 100.78 89.28 77.57 13.03 Scarlet Fever 572.91 708.87 758.13 89.00 104.63 Other Contagion 48.82 153.10 78.27 351.60 189.80

The foregoing figures show the gross expenditures against which payments always have been received where the expenditures were for those having settlements elsewhere.

The Board tries in every instance to collect for all cases, but in most of the cases such collection is impossible. Covering the above period the Board has collected about $375.00 against contagion and there has been a subsidy of $1,495.72 allowed by the Department of Public Health of the State for Tuberculosis cases. This amount does not come to the Board of Health but is a credit for the town in the final settlement between the town and state.

The Board commends to the citizens the report of Dr. Charles E. Montague, who, acting as special agent, has conducted the work of immunization against Diphtheria. The fact that since such work has been under way there has not been a single case of Diphtheria among those immunized and showing a negative reaction seems to show that such immunization is well worth while.

After an early unsatisfactory condition as to care of dumps, such work in Wakefield being discontinued as an ERA project because the dumps were on private property and government spending under such conditions were discontinued, the Board asked for a transfer from its departmental account to the care of dumps of $575.00.

Since July first when the change was effected, one man has given his whole time to the care of the three dumps under control of Board of Health and the results have justified the Board in asking that money be voted to continue the work throughout the year 1935.

After a service of approximately four years on the Board of Health, Dr. Charles W. DeWolf found himself compelled by the stress of his own professional duties, to retire from further service on the Board and at a joint meeting of the Selectmen and Board of Health, Mr. Ned C. Loud was elected to succeed Dr. DeWolf until March town meeting.

During Dr. DeWolf's service he took a very active and increasing interest in the health program of the town. -

REPORT OP TUBERCULOSIS DISPENSARY 89

We are glad to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to Chief Pollard for the use of the police ambulance in transporting a tubercular patient to Rutland State Sanatorium. Respectfully submitted,

WESLEY S. GOODWIN, CARL E. ALLISON, M. D., NED C. LOUD

Tuberculosis Dispensary Report

The annual report of the Tuberculosis Dispensary is herewith respectfully submitted.

The Tuberculosis Dispensary is open the first and third Friday evenings in the month from 8 to 9 o'clock, and the second and fourth Tuesday afternoons from 3.30 to 4.30 o'clock. We have as usual examined at the dispensary during the year, patients discharged from sanatoriums, contact cases, suspicious cases of tuberculosis, and a number of underweight children. Ninety-four examinations were made.

We have taken a great many of our contact cases, especially children, to North Reading State Sanatorium for X-rays and Von Pirquet tests.

.On the discovery of a new case of tuberculosis, if active, efforts are made to have the patient hospitalized, and if possible to have all members of the family examined, either by the family doctor or at the clinic. In the last ten or fifteen years we have come to recognize the insidious ness of tuberculosis. While the disease is most commonly found in adults between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, it usually lays its founda- tion in early childhood, many years before it becomes manifest. There- fore, we feel it is important to hospitalize all active cases* not only that immediate and proper care may be instituted, but that a known source of infection may be removed.

We also try to have all our patients who have been discharged from the sanatorium as arrested cases, X-rayed and chest-examined at least twice a year. We take these patients to Middlesex County Sanatorium or North Reading State Sanatorium. The Beard of Health also provides transportation for tubercular patients taking Pneumo-thorax treatment.

90 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

To the Wakefield Board of Health: Gentlemen The work for the prevention of Diphtheria for 1934 was as follows: Two hundred and sixty-four pupils immunized in 1933 were given the Schick test and of these only seven were positive. These were re-immunized and in addition, two hundred and eighteen pupils and ten younger sisters and brothers were immunized with toxin -antoxin. There has been no case of diphtheria to my knowledge, in a child immunized and proven immune since the process was initiated. The State Department of Health recommends "Toxid" this year, instead of toxin -antoxin and I intend to use it for children under ten years. Taking up the work for the early detection of tuberculosis where the state clinic left off, the skin test was offered to all pupils in the sixth and ninth grades. One hundred and eighty-nine accepted and of these twenty-four were positive. Notice was sent to the parents and they were advised to consult their family physician. I propose this year to offer the test to the sixth grade, ninth grade and twelfth grade. The state is very anxious that this be done and is willing to send one of the staff from the North Reading Sanatorium to do it if necessary. Miss Russell has assisted in this work as does Miss English. Respectfully submitted,

CHARLES E. MONTAGUE, M. D., Special Agent..

Report of Health Officer

Board of Health: Gentlemen

I herewith submit my report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1934. The work of this department consists chiefly in investigating complaints of various natures of which we have many. I have put up 95 contagious cards and removed them again. I also have put up 28 "No Dumping" signs in various parts of the town. I also have supervised the Dumps the past year, the work being done by one man. A visit to the different Dumps will convince anyone that the work has been done well. I have made 609 calls during the year. Respectfully submitted, DAVID TAGGART Health Officer. :

Report of Inspector of Milk and Food

To the Wakefield Board of Health:— Gentlemen:

I herewith submit my report as Inspector of Milk and Food for the year ending December 31, 1934.

The year just passed has again seen a period of unusual activity from the standpoint of local milk and food control.

The cause of this may be laid to the many provisions enacted along. 92 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

these lines by the 1933 legislature, the same having its effect on 1934 administration.

The work of this office for the year may be divided under six branches, as follows: —Dairy Farm Inspection, Milk Plant Inspection, Licensing Division, Consumers' Interests, Milk Analysis, and a Study of Vitamin D Milk.

Under Dairy Farm Inspection, which consumed considerable time, expense and travel, much may be said. A new program has been carried out in regard to this work, including an improved score card method of check-up. Under this more rigid system a number of dairies that had heretofore supplied milk to Wakefield concerns, were dropped from the list. All of the dairies of this class, however, were out of town, some being in southern New Hampshire. I am pleased to say that all local dairies met the test splendidly.

Milk Plant Inspection comprised visits to all the dealers, both local and out of town, buying milk for resale in Wakefield.

At each of these establishments pasteurizing charts covering a period of months were carefully checked. In this way was determined whether or not locally consumed milk was being satisfactorily processed. While commenting on this branch of work, I am pleased to mention a local improvement worthy of note in 1934. It refers to the installation of a pasteurizer at the establishment of Mr. Frank Lanzillo. This improvement, together with other up-to-date equipment, places this dairy in the forefront of modern plants.

As to the Licensing Division of this office, another marked increase can be reported, both as to the number and kinds issued, as well as added revenue for the same, deposited in the Town Treasury. The vital significance of milk inspection work may be found under the heading of Consumers' Interests. The importance of this branch must be apparent to all when it is realized that in a town the size of Wakefield there are upwards of 1000 persons who depend wholly, or in a large part, on this one source of*" food for their sustenance. This number includes children under three years of age, and also* the sick and infirm. Let not the responsibility of this most important branch of health work be underestimated.

Milk Analysis is the only method we have of determining the rating of the milk as to legal requirements and nutritious value. It also im- parts to the producer a correct knowledge of the results of his labors. This work has been carried on as in the past, with results on the whole most gratifying. A word about Vitamin D milk would not seem out of place at this time. This is a new grade of milk, the comparative value of which is still a matter of study. From what this office has been able to learn, the effectiveness of this milk varies with the amount of Vitamin D it contains. As yet there are no simplified laboratory methods of deter- —

This condition in the minds of many, leaves wide open opportunity for the exploitation of consumers, who, I believe, should take caution to proceed slowly along these lines. The food situation remains about the same as in other years. Few complaints have come in and those have been adjusted satisfactorily.

Report of Town Counsel

Wakefield, Mass., January 14, 1935.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Wakefield, Mass.

Gentlemen

My report as Town Counsel for the year 1934 follows:

One highway accident case has been tried before the District Court at Maiden with a finding for the town. Plaintiffs have appealed to Appel- late Division. Five highway auto accident cases were tried together at Lowell, with verdicts for four plaintiffs, aggregating $2,300, and one verdict for town. Exceptions are pending, taken by the town, to be heard by the Supreme Judicial Court.

The action against the New England Tel. & Tel. Co. for damages to police auto was settled for $550. An action for damage to a hydrant by an auto was settled for $103.50. One tax title foreclosure for about QV2 acres of land on Wave Avenue was prosecuted for the town and a decree entered by which the town now owns the property. Decree dated Septem- ber 10, 1934. In an action to enforce zoning laws to prevent removal of sand, etc., on land off Salem Street near the Saugus River, a stipulation ivas filed by defendant, Sheehan Co., in the Middlesex Superior Court, to comply with the zoning law.

There are about thirteen, some very old, highway accident cases pending against the town; also three tax abatement cases, one in the Board of Tax Appeals.

I have attended all hearings of all workmen compensation cases. The details of the disposition of these will be found in the Building Inspector's or Compensation Agent's report.

On the completion of the PWA contract for new water mains, with the Government, which was changed to a "grant" agreement only, with the other departments, forms required were completed and executed and forwarded to the Government. The amount to be paid the town has not yet been received, although the water pipes were laid months ago.

The size of the town and its many varied activities have called for many informal opinions and drafting of many documents, as well as many .examinations of registry records.

Respectfully submitted,

Report of Supt. of Moth Dept.

Wakefield, Mass., January 1, 1935. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen I herewith submit my report as Superintendent of the Moth Depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1934. We found about ten per cent more Gypsy Moth nests in 1934 than we did in 1933. The Brown Tail, Satin, Moth, Fall Web Worm, and the Elm Leaf Beetle were about the same as in 1933. We have been obliged to cut down 75 shade trees which have died from various causes and from the widening of streets. We have planted 50 young trees along streets where they were needed most. These trees were grown in our own nursery at Broadway. We spent $2,223.51 for moth work, $1,344.23 for spraying, $1,795.11 for trimming and cutting down trees and $284.22 for cutting brush. For other expenditures and appropriations of this Department see Town Accountant's Report. Respectfully yours, JOHN A. LANDRY, Supt. of Moth Department.

The sand in the filters, as noted in last year's report, was washed and cleaned. A machine was devised and built by the department under the supervision of Weston & Sampson for washing the sand. The PWA project which was started last year was completed and approved, at a cost of $88,096.55. To date the 30% grant has not been received by the town. Due to the expense entailed last year for thawing out services and water mains, an electric thawing machine was built by the department, to take care of such emergencies in the future. In view of the anticipated increase in the consumption of water and the low level of the lake, the Board reiterates its recommendation of last year regarding the erection of a building and permanent pumping equipment at the wells. Lake Quannapowitt received two treatments of copper sulphate on the following dates, July 11 and August 8, which were far from satisfactory. If better results are desired, more money should be appropriated for en- gineering services and treatment. The Superintendent's report which follows gives in more detail in- formation as to construction, improvements and so forth, which will be of interest to the town. WILLIAM B. STANTIAL, SIDNEY F.

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS

All the buildings at the Pumping Station on Broadway have received two coats of paint during the year. A new one -half ton Dodge truck was purchased to replace a one -half ton Ford truck purchased in 1929.

WATER SUPPLY

Crystal Lake, Wakefield's water supply, still retains its usual good quality and the elevation of the lake on December 31, was thirty-nine inches below high water mark, which is low for this time of year. Un- less we have an unusually large snow or rainfall during the winter months it will be necessary to resort to the well supply next summer.

FILTRATION PLANT

During the year 1934 the filter plant has produced water of an excellent quality. It has been necessary to scrape impurities from the top of each filter ten times since the first of the year. In the summer, six hundred tons of sand which had been removed from time to time since the niters were put into operation in 1928, was washed and replaced in the filters, bringing the sand level back to approximately its original elevation. 106 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD

' LOW LEVEL SEWER SYSTEM

The low level sewer system and pumping station, installed in 1926, is still giving the usual good service.

SEWER MAINTENANCE

The entire sewer system, including the low level system, has received two inspections and also has been thoroughly brushed and cleaned.

We have been experiencing considerable difficulty the last year or two with tree roots entering the sewers. Very small roots enter through the joints in search of moisture and then grow inside the pipe to almost its full capacity causing stoppages in every case.

Under the CWA and ERA Brook Project, it was necessary to replace the sewer with cast iron pipe at Richardson Street and also on Main

Street at the brook crossing. Also, it was necessary to raise the eight- inch water main on Richardson Street, and the sixteen -inch main on Main Street at the brook crossing to make way for the new 6' x 4' concrete culvert. The six-inch main on North Avenue also had to be lowered to make room for the new culvert which was installed at that point.

SEWER CONNECTIONS

Applications for house connections to date 1760 Number of connections made 1650 Number of connections made during year 31 Number of connections waiting 0;

SEWER CONSTRUCTION

An eight-inch sewer was constructed in Broadway from Station 6+59 westerly 180 feet to Station 8+39.

An eight-inch sewer was laid in Vernon Street from Aborn Avenue northerly to Cordis Street; also, in Cordis Street from Vernon Street westerly to Pleasant Street.

In conclusion, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to each and every member of the department for his co-operation in all emergencies during, the year.

I also extend my thanks to the heads and members of the various Town Departments for their support and co-operation during the year.

Respectfully submitted, MORRISON MERRILL, Superintendent. —

REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD 107

Report of the Municipal Light Board

To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield:

We submit for your consideration the forty-first annual report of the Municipal Light Board covering the year ending December 31, 1934.

The operations of the Department resulted in a net profit, after deducting debt retirements, of $35,371.43 as compared to a profit of $22,- 276.57 for 1933. The past year has been the most satisfactory year since 1931.

The results obtained from the Gas Department have been more satisfactory than anticipated. The net sales were $115,976.13 for 1934 and $116,747.78 in 1933.

The net sales of the Electric Department were $189,685.64 for 1934, and $180,378.29 for 1933, the gain over 1933 being due to increased use by domestic and commercial lighting consumers. The total kilowatt hours sold by the department has increased steadily for a number of years as. shown below:

1928 3,623,400 K. W. H.'s 1929 4,116,300 1930 4,302,700 1931 4,432,900 1932 4,379,900 1933 4,732,000 1934 4,940,400

The income of the department has not increased in the same pro- portion due to several substantial rate reductions over the same period. For example, the net rate paid by domestic consumers in 1928 was 6V2 cents per kilowatt hour and in 1934 the average net rate paid by the same class of consumer was 4.59 cents per kilowatt hour, a reduction of nearly 2 cents per kilowatt hour.

During the past year we furnished the Town with street lights for $18,000.00, but in view of the fact that the department turned over to the Town $16,500.00, this service cost the taxpayer only $1,500.00.

The balance in our Operating Fund is $45,600.85, as compared to^ $16,526.57 in 1933. The increase is due to increased sales, reduced expenditures, and an improvement in the collection of our accounts.

The report of the Manager showing the financial condition of the- plant as of December 31, 1934, and its operations for the year, is included in this report. :

GAS DEPARTMENT The net sales of this section were $115,976.13, the operating expense $105,140.96 and a net income of $8,742.65 for 1934. In 1933 the net income was $7,304.98. ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT The net sales of this section were $189,685.64, the operating expense $148,426.52, with a net income for 1934 of $36,628.78. In 1933 this amounted to $27,471.59. BONDED DEBT

This account has been reduced from $99,000.00 on January 1, 1934, to

$89,000.00 as of January 1, 1935. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT On account of the small amount of construction throughout the year, the Plant investments and general equipment values have decreased $8,062.42 due to depreciation. The resurfacing of Main Street between Bennett Street and Water Street necessitated changes and replacements in both gas and electric underground structures; an old 4" cast iron gas main replaced by a 6" steel pipe. The street lights on trolley poles which were owned by the Town, were replaced in the lower section, that is from the High School to Bennett Street, with the standardized ornamental light poles; outlets

have been placed , along the remaining section to accomplish the same installation sometime in the future, so that the lighting of this section will conform with the lighting in other sections of the town. The block of stores at the corner of Main and Water Streets have "been supplied with a makeshift installation for many years and it has proved very unsatisfactory, both for the occupants and the Department. REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD 109

To remedy this and complete underground construction on the section of Main Street mentioned above, a duct line was laid in the sidewalk from the transformer manhole opposite the Armory to a point in a driveway entrance in rear of these stores and to the Evans' Son Company shoe factory. The transformer bank at the Evans Company was placed in a brick structure and changes made so that there is ample protection for all parties concerned. Many replacements in numerous places were made in gas mains on account of small sizes and increased demand, and for defective sections in very old lines. An old 2" line in White Avenue was replaced with 3" steel pipe; 500 ft. of old 2" and 3" cast iron pipe in Lawrence Street was replaced with 4" steel pipe; 900 ft. of 2" cast iron pipe in Traverse Street replaced with 3" steel pipe. Crescent Street, between Main and Water

Streets, 1500 ft. of old out of line defective pipe was replaced with steel pipe. Some 850 feet of small mains were abandoned and new service connections to larger pipe made. Only 300 ft. of extension has been made during the year. Five drip tanks used in the past on the high pressure lines were recovered and some used for other purposes at the plant. Approximately 300 lead connections to gas meters have been changed to solid connections with fire valves, and upward of 500 meters removed and tested for obsolescence. A number of extra men were given employment in scraping, red- leading and painting the gas holder, on top of which has been placed the word WAKEFIELD as a guide to aviators. The policy of the Department in advancing the service has been continued, noticeably in the extension of 3 -wire secondaries in aerial construction where the increase in the load has seemed to warrant the same. The pole lines have been inspected twice a year, as has been the custom in the past, and replacements made wherever warranted. The financial statement follows: 110 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD

Fire Alarm and Police Signal System

January 2, 1935.

To the Municipal Light Commissioners, Town of Wakefield, Massachusetts.

Gentlemen:

These functions of the Light Department have been kept up in good working condition, very little has had to be done in the way of minor repairs.

The lines are in first class order, batteries and charging devices under constant supervision. The police are in constant communication with the State Police through the radio connection.

The major work has been the construction of a fireproof room in basement of the Central Fire Station, anticipating the purchase and installation of a new switchboard and a ten-circuit repeater. This change is recommended on account of the continued extension on the present circuits and the battery increases necessary to operate and the limitation of the present five-circuit repeater.

Respectfully submitted,

SAMUEL H. BROOKS, Manager Municipal Light Dept. REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD 117

Report of Town Planning Board

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,

Wakefield, Massachusetts.

Gentlemen:

The Town Planning Board herein presents its report for the year ending December 31, 1934.

The Board has held such meetings as were necessary to consider

matters presented to it. Hearings were advertised and held regarding proposed changes in the Zoning By-laws previous to the last annual town meeting and the recommendations of the Board made to that meeting.

Hearing at the State House regarding the level of Lake Quannapowitt and the drawings of the swamp area north of the lake were attended by the Board and its co-operation furnished regarding the matter.

The Board has been and is giving considerable time to the consideration of the proposed location of a part of the north circumferential highway as it passes across the northern portion of the town. The Board is joining with representatives of other towns along the route of this proposed highway looking forward to a judicious location of the highway and some wise uniformity of zoning adjacent to it.

As to the activities under the ERA and other authorities for town improvements, the Planning Board, in general, gives its approval. In particular it seems that North Avenue, at Church Street, might well have been widened and straightened at the time the work was done on the new playground. The condition at present forms somewhat of a traffic hazard and can yet be remedied.

The Planning Board believes that all matters of town planning, whether of minor or major importance, are within the scope of its duties and at all times is ready to extend its co-operation to any and all boards or officials having the execution of work in hand which involves planning.

Respectfully submitted, TOWN PLANNING BOARD,

E. M. BRIDGE, Chairman. 118 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD

Report of Bath House Instructor

Wakefield Park Board,

Wakefield, Mass.

The Bath House opening June 25, and closing Sept. 1, was favored with good bathing weather with the exception of the last week, which was rainy and cool. Two outstanding improvements took place. The installing of septic tanks for toilets and the setting up of a bubbler for drinking water. The latter was installed with the co-operation of several Legion men and public -spirited citizens. The following statistics will give you some idea as to what took place. The Bath House was open 69 days from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., daily, and on Sundays from 2 to 6 p.m. Total number in attendance 40,158; average daily, 582; maximum, 1500. Number of minor injuries, 173. Number of persons needing help (beyond their depth), 16.

Number of suspensions, 10. . I recommend that those in charge watch the condition of the water more closely as to treating the same.

CHAPTER 90 WORK

An allotment was received from the State and County to assist the Town in resurfacing the following streets:

Main Street — from Water Street to the B. & M. R. R. crossing, a distance of 1200 feet in length, and 54 feet in width.

North Main Street — from Lowell Street to Bay State Road, a distance of 1500 feet in length, and 24 feet in width.

Amount Expended: Main Street $ 10,767.60 North Main Street 8,784.35 $ 19,551.95

Ten street lines were run and staked upon the request of property owners.

The bulk of the ERA were projects that would normally be done by the Highway Department. Inasmuch as we will be expected to maintain this work after the government ceases to assist, we were interested in the design and construction which necessarily involved considerable supervision.

REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES

The Trustees of the Lucius Beebe Memorial Library herewith submit the seventy-ninth annual report for the year 1934.

The library continues to do its part in the educational and recreational life of Wakefield. Day after day its patrons may be seen taking out books and periodicals for study and for the relaxation of leisure hours. An hour or two spent near the Delivery Desk and in the Reference Room would show to any doubting person the active part taken by the library in the community.

It is always a question just how much mention of unsolved problems should be made in a report of this kind, but there is one matter in which all the citizens of Wakefield should be interested. In common with other cities and towns the increasing amount of disorder about the library building has been noticeable. The stacks, the reading rooms, the grounds need altogether too much surveillance. It has taken time and money for protection which should be used in service to the public. The Trustees are doing all in their power to solve this problem and they ask for the co- operation of the schools and the parents in helping the youth of the town to realize its share of the responsibility in the care and use of the library facilities.

In March the town and the library lost a true friend, one who had given unstintingly of his time, his interest, and his loyalty as well as of his worldly goods, Mr. Junius Beebe. It was he who made possible the beautiful building so much enjoyed by his fellow townsmen. He created a generous Trust Fund also and interested the other members of his family to do likewise. His sincere interest in all that concerned the welfare of the library will long continue as an inspiration to all those concerned with the administration of its affairs. Through the thoughtfulness and generosity of Mrs. Junius Beebe, a picture of Mr. Beebe now hangs on the south wall of the main lobby beside that of Mr. Lucius Beebe, his father. Other friends, both old and new, have given books, magazines and flowers, and as in other years Mr. Harris M. Dolbeare and Mr. Gardner E. Campbell of the Wakefield Daily Item have given generous space to library affairs. To all these friends, to Mrs. Junius Beebe for the Christ- mas decorations given in memory of her husband and son, and to Mr. Lucius M. Beebe who has given a clock in memory of his brother, the Trustees extend their sincere thanks.

In August the library did its share in the celebration of Old Home Week by providing space for the exhibits by the Wakefield Arts and Crafts Society and by the Wakefield Historical Society. Many former residents had not visited the library before and were duly impressed with the beauty and dignity of the building and its homelike atmosphere. In at least two measures of Federal Relief the library has been able to co-operate. The E. R. A. work begun in November 1933, has been continued throughout the year 1934. After the clerical revision of the general REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES 143

catalogue was completed various other work* was undertaken and is still going on. When the Federal Transient camp was established at Camp Curtis Guild, arrangements were immediately made for a book deposit. Each month since then the deposit has been changed. The circulation at the camps for the months of this year since its establishment in March has been 4.248. Both of these undertakings have meant increased work and care for Miss Carleton and the members of her staff but there has been no complaint; instead a cheerful spirit of co-operation has been evident always. In September, the Trustees and the staff were saddened by the sud- den death of Miss Bertha M. Taylor who had been connected with the library for many years. Her friendly helpfulness and her keen sense of humor made her services especially appreciated by the patrons of the library and there were many expressions of genuine sorrow at her passing. Miss Mildred Moore of Greenwood, a recent graduate of Simmons, has been working part time since Miss Taylor's death, but in January she becomes full time librarian at the High School which will necessitate another assistant on our staff.

The circulation for the year 1934 is as follows: Adult Juvenile Total Main Library 132,709 45,658 178,367 Greenwood Branch 35,374 23,958 59,332 School 8,653

246,352

The picture circulation has been the largest of any year since its introduction, 5,237. There are certain fixed expenses in running the library which must be met. The money spent for books is the flexible item in the budget and since books and magazines are the stock in trade, so to speak, of the department and the real reason for its existence it is always unfortunate when any curtailment in buying has to be made. The decreased appropriation and decreased income from Trust Funds have made it necessary to curtail the expenditure for books for four successive years and have now reached a point where the usefulness of the library may be affected. The library building has now been in use for over ten years and the Trustees feel that it is economical to keep the building in repair. From now on it is inevitable that more money will have to be spent for upkeep. The time is not far distant, too, when additional stack room will be needed. Recently the Montrose Parent-Teachers' Association has asked for more general library facilities. There is already a deposit of children's books in the Montrose School and by adding some books for adults and some reference books it would be possible to give satisfactory service by opening a room in charge of a member of our staff for two afternoons a week, providing, of course, that arrangements can be made. *See page 151 for detailed work. : :

REPORT OP THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE

To the Citizens of Wakefield:

The financial condition of the town for 1934 was no better than it was in 1933, and the problems which faced the School Department were as troublesome as before. Continuing with the idea of co-operating with the Town Finance Committee, the School Committee cut its budget to $250,000.00 which was a reduction of $6,000.00 from the amount appropriated for 1933, and kept within this appropriation with a balance of sev- enteen cents at the end of the year. Of course this meant practicing rigid economy in all respects. This was made more difficult because of expenditures that had to be made for work which was done under the Emergency Relief Administration. This work included painting a portion of the Greenwood, Franklin and High Schools. Added to this was the cost of repairing breaks caused by freezing during the severe winter.

In making the budget for 1934, we estimated the cost of semi-bituminous coal to be $5.30 per ton. The contract which was let by the Board of Selectmen called for a price of $7.00 a ton. The severe weather during the winter made it necessary to buy an additional amount of coal to finish the school year. This extra amount, together with the decided increase in the price of the semi-bituminous coal, would cause an over-draft of about $1,400.00 in our fuel account. Because of the closeness of the fig- uring in making up the budget, we found we could not pay these extra amounts and keep within the appropriation if we should buy the usual year's supply of coal during the summer. It became necessary, therefore, to cut all fuel orders by 20%. Even then we would have exceeded the appropriation had we not had a large turn-over in the teaching force. These changes in teachers effected a net saving of $2,079.00 for the year 1934.

The total amount spent for the ERA work was $1,714.83. This work covered the following:

High School

Supervision of the drainage of the athletic field. Painting as Follows 1. Physical directors' offices and anterooms. 2. Gymnasium balcony locker-room, and anterooms. 3. Two stairwells. 4.

Two teachers retired during the Summer after long and faithful service to the town. These were Miss Elizabeth Gardner of the Green- wood School and Miss Clara Davidson of the Lincoln School. Miss Ethel M. Wilson was transferred from the Franklin School to take Miss Gard- ner's place. The classes at the Franklin School were rearranged with the idea in mind of trying to operate the school with one teacher less. This was given a trial during the Fall term, but the principal reports that it has not worked at all satisfactorily. Because of language difficulties and other conditions the lowest classes were losing too much, therefore, we found it necessary to replace a teacher and this was so voted to take effect January 1, 1935. The registration at the Lincoln School has dropped and we found that it would be entirely feasible to rearrange the classes there and thus it would not be necessary to fill the vacancy caused by Miss Davidson's retirement. 158 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

There were three resignations from the teaching force of the Wood- ville School, but two> of these places were filled, leaving the staff one less than it has been heretofore. This compelled a reorganization of the classes, but even with this reorganization the number of pupils per teacher is 31, which is the second lowest in town. The possibility of operating this school with five instead of six teachers is due to the decrease in enrollment. We have watched the situation carefully to make sure that the pupils are not losing in their school work. In December, the principal gave achievement tests in the primary grades, the results showing that there was no loss in efficiency and comparing very favorable with those obtained in previous years, during the time of the regular testing program. Two years ago, as one of the steps in economy, the librarian in the High School was given a leave of absence. This move has proved to be detrimental to the work of the school, even though the library was kept open part time under a cadet teacher. Realizing this handicap, the committee has appointed a librarian to begin work on January 1, 1935. Cooking and sewing also were dropped from the high school course of study, as was manual training from the course for the eighth grade.

The work in manual training has not yet been . restored, but because of the change in curricula, or rather by the addition of another curriculum, it seemed to be advisable to replace a part of the work in cooking and sewing. The new curriculum is added to take care of a group of pupils who enter the high school each year without having thoroughly completed the work of the grades. These pupils are usually those who would profit much more by high school contacts than by contacts in the elementary schools. As they have not completed all the work required for general admission to the high school, they are given this special work which is fitted to their needs and is such that they progress at a slower rate of speed. If any pupil gives evidence by his work in these classes that he could probably do' the work of the regular classes, he is then transferred and given a chance to do so. At the present time this course covers two years. It may be changed eventually into a five-year course. It is hoped that many who might become discouraged and drop out may, by moving more slowly, eventually finish the high school course. Most of these pupils, under ordinary circumstances, become repeaters and thereby slow up the work of the regular classes. Now, because they are taken out and given another course, the regular classes are able to proceed more rapidly and more thoroughly. Some other acts of the committee during the year are as follows: Recommended that the dance, which in previous years has been held on the Friday evening following the Graduation Exercises of the Senior Class, be held after the Class Day Exercises on the Monday evening of graduation week. That the Reception, which in previous years has been held on Friday evening following Graduation Exercises, be held directly after the Grad- uation Exercises. REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 159

That informal dress for both of these affairs be followed as the proper custom for the members of the Senior Class. (The Senior Class later voted to accept the recommendation.) Granted permission to the Chamber of Commerce to use a portion of Walton Field during the week of August 12, to be observed as Old Home Week. Granted permission to the Recreation Commission to use the high school gymnasium for women's classes on two nights each week, and also to use Walton Field during the Summer after the high school baseball team has finished its schedule. Approved the re-establishment of the pre-school centers in accordance with the FERA conditions forwarded by the State Department of Education. Established the tuition rate for out-of-town pupils for the school year of 1934-35 at $61.18 for the elementary schools and $92.25 for the high school, it being understood that $25.00 be added to the high school Tate for Lynnfield pupils. Granted permission to the Chamber of Commerce to use a room in the high school for the use of its classes in business instruction. Restored the no-school signals for the high school and eighth grade.

Notified the Town Committee, Harold Merritt, chairman, that if in its opinion, the east wall on the first floor corridor in the high school is as suitable a place as can be found at the present time for the portraits of the thirty Wakefield men who gave their lives in the World War, the School Committee is willing that they should be placed there, it being understood that the School Committee cannot assume expense of installation or lighting, if any.

All appointments to fill teaching vacancies have been made from Wakefield candidates.

An amendment to the Rules and Regulations was proposed in Decem- ber, but action on this must lie on the table until January. The proposed amendment is a substitute for the section which provides that teachers shall be paid monthly and has the following provisions:

1. That the yearly salary of teachers and supervisors be paid in twenty equal payments on the first and the fifteenth of each month of the school year. 2. That the superintendent, secretaries, school nurse, attendance officer and janitors be paid weekly. 3. That payment of all salaries and wages be made by check. 4. That all adjustments to salaries and wages due to absence be made on each pay day for the preceding period. 5. That the first payment of this new arrangement be made on March 15, 1935. The principal of the High School reports a total enroUment for the regular four years of 1179, 833 of these pupils attending the morning session. A portion of his report is as follows: 160 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD

"The enrollment at the beginning of the school year was as follows: Boys Girls Total Post Graduates 10 12 22 Seniors 107 123 230 Juniors 131 143 274

Sophomores 156 . 151 307 Freshmen 182 164 346

586 593 1179

"This gives an enrollment for the four-year high school of 1179, an increase of 59 over the previous year. In the morning session we have 833 pupils which practically fills the building. This year we have had to use the auditorium as a study room- the first three periods on Friday; but as a study room, the auditorium is exceedingly poor.

"We lost two English teachers, Miss A. True Hardy and Miss Kath- erine Kelly, who were married. These positions were filled by Mr. John Butler and Miss A. Louise Allman. Miss Thelma Fletcher, teacher of science, resigned, and was succeeded by Miss Eleanor Gleason. Miss Anne Meserve returned after two years', leave of absence, to teach sewing and cooking, which were restored to the curriculum. Also Miss Mildred Moore was appointed librarian. For two years we have had the library open part time under the supervision of cadet librarians and it is very gratifying to have the library open nine periods a day out of the eleven. I know it will mean a great deal to the betterment of our school work. We were under a great handicap when it was open only part of the time. "We have had some serious handicaps this year. Since pupils who were not adapted for the college curriculum were advised to elect other courses, the large majority elected the commercial course. As a result, our typewriting equipment was not adequate for all morning pupils. We have six recitation periods in the forenoon session and we had ten classes of typewriting. This meant that the pupils in the last four classes would have to return to school for one class from 1:54 P.M. to 3:27 P.M. As many adjustments as possible were made so that the pupils from Lynnfield, Greenwood and Montrose could get their work done by 1:00 P.M. or 1:54 P.M. Many pupils did not like the idea of returning in the afternoon for typewriting so dropped it. There were forty- eight pupils who dropped this subject.

"In chemistry, Mr. Myron Gallop had three classes and also three in general science. The chemistry classes come in the forenoon so he can give no assistance to general science pupils and he has three classes in the afternoon in general science and so can give no assistance to chemistry pupils. That makes it very difficult and, consequently, the pupils are not really getting a square deal.

"This year we have had the High School Preparatory Course in operation. There is one class of Sophomores and one of Freshmen. Each REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 161

class has thirty-five pupils and I feel that it is solving one of our difficult problems. The pupils in these classes have practically no home work assignments. The work is done in the class room under the guidance of the teacher and: the pupils work as rapidly as they can. Some do very little and others vary in the amount of work done. One of the advan- tages is that in any of the other courses these pupils would be failures and in this course they are not. Some do well in sewing; others very poorly. The same is true in cooking. In woodwork some do well; others do not. It seems the same in all of the subjects taken. In one or two subjects they do satisfactory work; in the other subjects they vary from passable work to almost nothing. It has been a help in the other classes to have this group out as their poor work is not so apparent to them and

the other classes can go along a little more easily as this slower group is not present. I am more convinced than ever that this course is a step in the right direction and will accomplish what we hoped it would; namely, help this group to feel that they are not failures.

"The ruling of the School Committee, making physical training elective for seniors, relieved a very unsatisfactory problem. Some of the physical training classes had seventy-five pupils, which would have made the work very unsatisfactory, both on the gymnasium floor and in the gymnasium locker room. As it is, the gymnasium locker room is very inadequate. I hope measures will be taken soon to relieve the congestion there.

"Last June the Senior Class had their reception immediately after the graduation exercises and their dance after their Class Day exercises, instead of on the Friday evening following graduation. I feel sure that the change is a great improvement. It certainly eliminated the dis- agreeable features of the previous years. I hope this year's class will continue the example set by last year's class.

"I believe the work of the High School is kept up to as high a level as can be expected under the crowded conditions. We cannot expect the same grade as we had previous to the two-session school, inasmuch as the teachers cannot give as much time as necessary to the slow pupils. Teachers have classes which are too large, and too many classes each day, to do much outside work with deserving pupils.

"Under the two-session plan practically all extra curriculum activities have to be eliminated. In many respects these activities are as valuable to pupils as their regular class-room subjects.

"We still have our Boys' Glee Club of 90 pupils. These boys have to practise in the Y. M. C. A. in the afternoon and the Freshmen have to rehearse after 5:00 o'clock. It is practically impossible to have them rehearse together unless they meet in the evening.

"The Boys' Band of 100 pupils have their rehearsals in the evening. The orchestra has to rehearse after 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon, which is a very undesirable time. 162 TOWN OP WAKEFIELD

"The Inter Ncs Club, which meets once a month, is the only girls' .club we have in school. It supplies a great need and does a great deal of good for all who can belong. About 150 girls are members of the club. This club sponsored three dinners at Thanksgiving time to families whose children are members of our school.

"The Hi-Y Club is doing remarkable work among the boys. They are interested in gathering toys at Christmas time which are given to the Welfare Department. "The boys' basketball team has to practice in the evening or after 5:00 P. M. Even under these conditions, our team has won two championships in three years. "If we did not have very remarkable instructors in our extra-curricula activities we would not be able to do these things. "We did very well in football and baseball and track and exceedingly well in cross-country. In the latter sport we won eight out of nine dual meets, also a six-cornered meet at Woburn, the State meet at Stoneham, and were eighth in the National Cross -Country meet at Newark, New Jersey." The supervisor of the afternoon session reports in part:

"The afternoon session is made up of seven divisions of Grade Eight and twelve divisions of Grade Nine. The Ninth Grade has four College divisions, five Commercial, one English, one Industrial Arts and one High School Preparatory. This setup shows the effect of the action of the School Committee in limiting the number who could take the college course to those who, through previous records, showed that they were capable. As a result, the Latin teacher has been released to take two classes in Civics.

"There is an ever- increasing need of guidance for children in Grade Eight selecting the course to be taken in High School and in checking up the work done during the year in both Grades Eight and Nine.

"The crowded classes in physical work are a great handicap. It would seem, better to make this work elective and allow more effective work to be done with smaller groups. There is need of corrective physical work which is not done now and could be done were the classes smaller.

"The pupils are suffering from the present afternoon session arrangement. There is a constant loss which can never be made up. The shorter periods, the inability to receive help, and the meager amount which can be given, with the abnormal time, are definitely detrimental to the progress of these children. Their school life from a social standpoint is curtailed to the zero mark and they are dominated by the pupils of the upper division. As this is the period when they are most impressionable it is unfortunate that they cannot unfold under normal conditions without the influence of older pupils.

"The eighth grades are grouped according to ability in September and January. The grouping in January is final, except in cases which show a decided error in placement, in which case an adjustment is made. REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 163

A plan by which those who are definitely retarded shall have a schedule of work more in keeping with the ability is being worked out. There is generally one full group of these pupils. If this group could start work in Grade Eight that would carry along to the High School Preparatory course by doing work within their ability, there would be far less pupil mortality in both Grades Eight and Nine. For this group in Grade Eight there should be a class in manual and domestic arts.

"The pupils of this school need a longer school day and consequent longer periods, more time for study under direction, more opportunity

to develop their artistic abilities, i.e., music and drawing, more opportuni- ties for social contacts in school, and in short, all the values which are now lacking under abnormal conditions."

The following are interesting paragraphs concerning work in the elementary schools:

"The work in character training has been continued with definite monthly assembly assignments and an outline of work in each grade to get unity and continuity in the subject. There have been three assembles during the fall term and each room will present one before the end of the year. For the past two years the teachers have been listing material for this work and we have a large amount of excellent reference data to draw upon. It is worth noting that the Massachusetts Parent-Teacher organization is making character training the main object of their efforts and that there is a movement on foot to promote legislation to secure a definite place for it in the curriculum.

"Close attention has been given to those who were promoted on trial and those who are repeating. It has been found that in every case the decision to have "repeat" or to "place on trial" has worked out beneficially for the child. All of those who are repeating are doing satisfactory work and all of those placed on trial are doing fair work.

"In co-operation with the school work, very valuable story hours have been held at the Beebe Memorial Library on Saturday mornings or after school hours. Many pupils are regular readers of library school books also.

"Due notice has been taken of all special days and weeks, particularly in the cases of proclamations by the Governor. The regular work has precedence, but many important matters of civic or social bearing are correlated with the work, either history or literature and language.

"One of the most important matters, that of safety, has been a frequent subject for discussion. A special day of safety attention is the day on which State Officer Andrews comes to us for his annual talk. His vivacious manner wins the most interested attention of pupils and makes a deep impression upon them.

"As a slight indication of the spirit on the part of the pupils, especially the boys, the following is recited. After a brief talk on matters per- 164 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD taining to Hallowe'en while the boys were lined up at recess, the boys adopted this resolution, unanimously:

'We, the boys of the upper grades of the Lincoln School agree that we will not do anything on Hallowe'en to damage property or make trouble for others.'

"The history text books are in poor condition and should be replaced as soon as possible. The geography, English and arithmetic courses are being conducted satisfactorily and the results appear to be good.

"One point which is stressed in the language work is to insist that the children, not only speak correctly during the language lessons, but carry this over to recitations in all other subjects as far as possible, without sacrificing interest in the subject under discussion.

"The health of the children in the schools has been carefully checked by both the School Physician and the School Nurse. The work is so essen- tial and the results are so interesting that the report of the School Physi- cian is given in full.

"The year 1933 completed the State ten-year plan, or Chadwick Clinic, for the examination of pupils for tuberculosis. Their final procedure was to give the Von Pirquet, or skin test, and X-ray and examine only those who showed reaction. Following their technique, the skin test was offered to all the pupils in the sixth and ninth grades, 189 accepting the offer, and of these 24 were positive reactors. Notice was sent to the parents with the advice to consult the family physician. Those who had no physician of choice, or who were unable or unwilling to consult one, were offered a chance for examination and X-ray at the State Sanitarium at North Reading or the County Sanitarium at Waltham. A considerable number accepted.

"The hope of curing tuberculosis is in discovering it before the child is sick. With the present knowledge, the skin test and X-ray examination offer the best chance of making the diagnosis at that stage of the disease. It is the present intention to offer this to the sixth, ninth and twelfth grades in 1935.

"The pupils immunized against diphtheria in 1933 were 'Schicked'. Of the 264 so tested only 7 were not immune. These were reimmunized. In addition, 218 pupils and 10 children under school age were immunized. These will be 'Schicked' in 1935.

"I have given a complete physical examination to all pupils in the first grade, fifth grade and first year high school, using the State cards for record. As a result of this examination, 211 notices of defective teeth were sent home, 218 notices of diseased tonsils, 22 of underweight (10% or more), 13 of heart defect, probably organic, 31 of no vaccination scar, 8 of enlarged glands, 17 of parasitic disease of the scalp, 4 of dirty and ill- smelling clothing, and an icidental list of impetigo, nasal discharge, in- flamed eyelids and skin lesions. REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 165

"The pupils in all the other grades have been inspected for defective teeth and throat lesions., as a result 975 notices were sent home, of which 615 were for defective teeth and 345 for diseased tonsils and cervical adenitis.

"It is noticeable that the number of underweight pupils is below the average and there was slight, if any, evidence of malnutrition. There were more teeth than usual that needed attention and some badly diseased tonsils that should have treatment.

"I have examined all the girls who wished to play basketball, and those who took part in competitive sports, also the boys who played basketball, the members of the track team, and all members of the football squad. I have attended the home games of football, as requested by the School Committee some years ago.

"The coaches have sent numerous minor injuries to me, mostly from football, and I have given first aid to numerous minor injuries on the school grounds. Many cases of suspected contagious or parasitic skin disease have been referred to me by the principals or teachers. The visits of the school physician and nurse are often inopportune from the teachers' standpoint and to them of small importance compared with their own teaching work, but they have been uniformly helpful and have given our work their whole-hearted support.

"The Board of Health has loaned its nurse, Miss Nellie B. Russell, to assist in the immunizing and testing, which has been of great assistance. Miss Mary K. English has continued to co-operate and assist in every way possible.

"Besides the regular work of inspection and consulation in the schools, the following special work and visits have been made: Children examined for cleanliness 40 Children who received first aid 75 Children taken to North Reading Clinic 30 Children taken to Shriners' Hospital 2 Children excluded from school 8 Children recommended for summer camp 5 Home visits 210

APPROPRIATION AND RECEIPTS

The committee has submitted a budget which calls for an appropriation of $256,500.00 for the year 1935. The receipts for 1935 are estimated to be $40,000.00 These receipts are not credited to the School Appropri- ation, but are paid into the Town Treasury. However, they do have the effect of reducing the amount to be raised by local taxation. The net cost of operating the School Department is, therefore, $216,087.36.

The estimated receipts are from, the following sources:

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on account of teachers $ 22,700.00 Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Tuition, State Wards 2,943.21 Town of Lynnfield, Tuition 10,318.88 City of Boston, Tuition, City Wards 2,667.47 Town of Stoneham, Tuition 360.00 Individual Tuitions 1,098.08 Miscellaneous 325.00

$40,412.64

~~CLASS COLORS Blue and Gold~~

CLASS SONG Though friendships we've made here are priceless and true, Your friendship alone will shine ever anew. The time now has come when your guidance is o'er, To fields farther on we must willingly soar. Farewell, Wakefield High School, we'll never forget That for our splendid training we owe you a debt. We'll try to repay you on some gladsome day, East, west, north, or south—wherever we stray. CHORUS

~~May God guide us all as we drift down Life's stream, And kindly direct us, make real our best dream. May God bless the School that for us led the way East, west, north, or south—wherever we stray.~~

~~Words by Viola Henry, '34~~
