Aww- -- ' Page Four --ids' YEARBOOK STAFF THE Dedication In the bloody battle now being waged for the preservation of freedom and justice throughout the world, there have been no more staunch and fervent fighters than the youth of America. Together with the gallant sons of the allied nations, they have endured and will continue to endure, until victory is won, the things which are a part oi' yvar-horror, suffering. and death. These men have undergone no tyrannical militaristic education since childhood. The majority of them have attended the high schools of America. Some of them are our own classmates. It is appropriate, indeed, that to those members of the Class of 1944 who have enlisted in the armed forces of the country, we respect- fully dedicate this book.

Fox '44 and joint P. BUTLER, Page Seven '4 Greetings to the Class of 1944 We have compiled the l944 ORACLE that we may look back in future years and see ourselves as we were: that we may recall our teachers, our classes and activities, and our friends: that we may now view the fruits of our four years of studyg that we may appreciate and remember throughout our lives the tenet which we have learned at Wakefield lligh School: No Victory Without Labor. MARILYN R. STARKMAN, '-l-l and .IAMES E. Fox, '44, Acknowledgments During the preparation of THE ORACLE for the Class of I944, the editorial staff received indispensable aid and advice from several persons to whom we wish to acknowledge our appreciation. Our thanks go to Miss Bernice L. Caswell, head ol the linglisli department, lor her inspiring supervision of the literary workg to Miss Alice M. Ryan, of the commercial department, for her efhcient direction of typewriting: to Mr. Paul Mortimer of the ltem Press for his willing advice on technical matters: to our candid cameraman. Laurence M. Stickneyg to Barbara Rowell, talented art director: and to the members of the business staff for their utmost co-operation. We wish also to thank Purdy, the class photographer, and The Weavers ol' New Kensington, Pennsylvania, who supplied the insert contain- ing the service flag and honor roll. lh'lARlLYN R. ST,-XRKMAN AND JAMES E. Fox, Editors-in-Chief Page Eight GG o Victor Without Laborw Every day friends ask what we intend to do upon the completion of our high school careers. They tell us repeatedly that we are now going out into the world. This statement is not quite true. Each of us will enter a separate world in which we will be forced to make independent decisions. Some of us will enter the business world: others will enroll in college. Many will enter the armed services-and may God be with them. A few even may become great artists, musicians, or authors. Until now, when any problem has arisen, someone has been at our sides to aid us. As children we had our difiiculties solved for us by our parents: through- out our years in school, our teachers have assisted us in countless ways. We offer our grateful appreciation to both. ln the future, we must rely upon ourselves. Friends will present suggestions. but the decisions will rest upon us as individuals. Although we shall have diifer- ent problems, varying with the new world status which confronts us, we should all have one thing in our minds to guide us. We shall discover that our class motto. which today is probably only a group of words, or, at most, a symbol to us, has become a beacon away from which our eyes must never turn. As ia pattern for success, let us ever remember that there can be N0 Victory Without Labor. lXlARlLYN R. STARKMAN, '44 C0-Editor-in-Cbief Page Nine Wakefield 1644 - 1044 lt so happens that 1044, the year of our graduation from Wakefield lligh School, also marks the 300th anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Read- ing and the beginning of the town of Wakefield. This area had been first settled five years prior to 1644 as a part of Lynn Village, but soon became an independent section. After its incorporation, Reading divided into three parishes, one of these- South Reading-in turn becoming separate from the other two in 1812. lt was in 1868, fifty-six years later, that South Reading changed its name to Wakefield. Since its inception three centuries ago as a pioneer settlement, Wakefield has kept pace with the growth of the nation and become a thriving modern community. True, it is not a large community: but it is in such towns as Wakefield, insignificant in area and population but great in the calibre of its citizenship, that the vast strength of our country lies. The members of the Wakefield lligh School graduating class of 1944 have a sacred trust in perpetuating this centuries-old tradition of good citizenship, whether it entails fighting on a foreign soil or performing our normal duties at home: for. by serving the community in which we live to the best of our ability, we preserve a prosperous and united America. jAMEs E.

When Mr. Fancli raises his baton, however, the orchestra resolves itsell into a well-timed, harmonious perform- ance. But harmony cannot last forever, and hubbub returns upon Mr. Fancks signal to stop playing. The clarinets swing oil into Pistol Packin' Mama, the violins are retuned. the trumpets blare, while the director con lers with the erring section ol' the orchestra. Again baton is raised, and all goes smoothly until a repeat is loxgotten, the clarinets play too loudly, or the violins too soltly. Thus the players struggle on lrom piece to piece until sonfeone suggests closing time. And there you have a picture of your school's orchestra at rehearsal. Occa- sionally, of course, there are appearances at some school's Parent-Teachers' meet- ing. And there is always the annual concert in May for which the orchestra prepares throughout the year. lt is a good orchestra, one of which Wakefield High School is proud. The popular director, Nlr. joseph lianck, deserves much credit for the success ol' this musical organization. illlnlli PL.-xvens Violins jennie Szumski Cyrus White Barbara Rowell john Clonstantino Burr Nlosher Ccllos Ruth White lileanor Dow Clarinvls Lois Goldsbury james Reid Priscilla llam Gerald Scott Forbes Saunders Paul Tenney Truuzpetx Coridon Plummer Ilerbert lielloway David Watts .Xrthur Crowe Saxopbolles Stanley lirskine lilliot Schreider Horn john Asgeirsson Tuba Robert St. Pierre Piano Marilyn Starkman Page Sixty-three C rs ,- C 54 E U2 m-1 4 E FU E Q.

Page Sixty-nine ,,. w W - QI A! 1 6 -1 l'ugc Suvvnly FOOTBALL TE Healey ach Co Football: 1943-1944 Although the team was somewhat hindered by the use ol' new, inexperienced players, our Alma Mater produced one ol its usual scrappy, persistent teams which battled bravely through nine difhcult games, losing eight and tying one. One might judge a team's quality by the team's record. XX'akelield's record was poor, but its players were some ol' the best. The team simply didn't have the breaks that a team usually has to send it on its way to victory. Coach llealey. assisted by Coach Piscione, trained the boys hard: and our husky gridiron heroes lacked nothing in determination. Two ol' the best games ol' the season were played with Nlelrose and Saugus. Melrose, our fervent rival lor nearly twenty-tive years, came to Wakelield with a very optimistic prediction about the game. Our boys began changing the opinion of the Melrose boys directly from the beginning when Wakelield took the ball and kept it for the greater part of the game. gaining lar more yardage and more first downs than the Red Raiders. l.lnl'ortunately, however, the opponents got off two touchdown passes which concluded the scoring ol' the game, ll to 0. The last game was played Thanksgiving Day with the Sachems at Saugus. Saugus received the kick-oil, and the battle began on the extremely muddy field. XX'akelield soon took possession ol' the pigskin and made several powerhouse drives down the tield. liach time. the Sachems put up a stonewall resistance and were able to hold our boys to a hnal tie, 0 to ll. Co-captain Guido Tine, our 220-pound left tackle, who teamed with heavy- weight joe Sardella, the 225-pound right tackle, displayed some excellent ball playing, but was unable to participate in the tinal game as he was called to duty in the United States Marine Corps. Co-captain jack Manning. our stalwart center, didn't see much action. as the result ol an unhealed knee cartilage which was in- jured during the previous season. llowever, he did see action in the Saugus game when he relieved Rusty Ratclitle, who was doing a great job as center. The lettermen graduating in IO44 are john Sparkes, Guido Tine, Dan Wheeler, Rusty Ratcliffe, jack Manning, Al Thresher, joe Sardella, Paul Wheeler, jack Butler. Winston Moore, Tony Schreider, and Frank Bartnick. The undergraduate lettermen are Herm Pelletier, Tracy lfvans, Mundo Roberto, George Roberto, Nandy Barsanti, joe Colucello. jake Spencer. joe Pridmore, Reggy Sardella, and Art Loughlin. Two lettermen who were forced to retire for the season as a result of injuries were joe Colucello and jack Butler, joe received a broken leg in the Malden game, and jack caught pneumonia alter a rainy Swampscott game. All the fellows on the team played hard and deserve much credit for their ability, good sportsmanship, and enicient teamwork. Page Seventy-one THE GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM First Row. Left. to right: K.

The class of '44 held its reunion last night in the new high school auditorium. Mr. Peterson retired last month, and john llird, the new principal, welcomed us. lt was great to see and hear about our former classmates. The class of '44 has certainly con- tributed many famous and talented people to the world. There were several other people missing besides you at our reunion. but we managed to hear something about them. Do you remember Mary Sardellaf Well. Mary has just returned from her 'round-the-world airplane trip. While in Ilongkong, she stopped to see Concetta Sardella and joscpbiize Perillo, who are trying to teach the natives of that island the fundamentals of bookkeeping as they were taught by Mr. Dower. Mary said that she got the biggest surprise of her life when she saw lilaine Doyle and Nancy Colosi teaching two native girls how to type. Edna Allgaier was sitting at our table. She holds the H758 World's Champion Ski-jumping title. She told me that when she was living in Nova Scotia two years ago, she lived near Patricia Kelliber and Theresa lljvcyzziz. Patricia and Theresa were married ten years ago to twin brothers, who jointly own practically all of the fishing schooners in Nova Scotia. Politicians were not lacking at our class reunion. lhzniel lfl'lJeeler, who is running for selectman, was engaged in deep conversation with Willianz McKean. a Massachusetts senator who is quite prominent in Washington political circles, and Victor fine, the very eflicient U. S. .'Xmbassador to ltaly. Guido Tina, Yictor's brother, was unable to come because his duties as a major in the U. S. Marine Corps held him in ligypt. Donald Parker and lftzlfvh Pike are two more of our fellow graduates who have turned politicians. Donald is chairman of the Board of Selectmen. and Ralph is a congressman. The last member of lliis political circle was the former senator of Massachusetts, Ifdxoiz ll'liite, who is now editor of the National Sportsman's Magazine. We were blessed with a wealth of professional talent, too. Donald I3-vriivx, who makes llumphrey Bogart of olden days look like a sissy, flew from llollywood in his new plane with I.eom1rd f,t'fUl'SUll and Robert Walxfi. Leonard is the comedian on the Swallow program, and Robert is a new Bob llope. l'lfI'lQillld .llansfield has returned from a world-wide tour as a soloist with the well-known pianist, Marti' May. Several of the prominent movie actresses who were among our fellow graduates were unable to come because they were working on new pictures. lane! Iratlwr. the famous aviatrix, has just signed a llollywood movie contract. She will star in her first picture, Roberta, the Rocket Woman. Remember lleloris lhijv in The liighting Littlesu? That was the start of a career for her. She recently left liroadway to try her talents at Xlarner lirothers in llollywood. The versatile f'ifU7't'IIt't' l'erro11e is now scheduled to play opposite lirank Sinatra in his next picture, My One and Only. l.oix tioldxbzwy is now playing lady Macbeth on Broadway. The critics all over the country are predicting her future success as a dramatic actress. lean lhwii and llerlnerl ll.l'fJ1!I'II are in llollywood at the present time, teach- ing the actors and actresses that certain smile. Un station Q. li.

Arlene Lenners and jane Dempsey do the exercises as Elizabeth calls them. The announcer of the pro gram is Geneva Krol. Did you recognize her? You'd hardly know Wakefield was the same town that we lived in nfteen years ago. Several of the Wakeheld business houses are now owned and operated by some of our fellow graduates. The most beautiful building in Wakefield is the Sullivan Memorial Hospital. lt is named after john Sullivan, its founder. Dr. Lawrence Brown is the hospital's chief heart specialist. llis main assistant is Anne Albani. Priscilla Black is supervisor of the Children's Ward and Katherine Collins is head nurse. Esther Malonson is a most efncient X-ray technician and Dorothy lnnzblin is her adviser. Florence Bailey has just been promoted secretary to Nlr. Curley. owner of the Curley Crain and Fuel Co. Mary Quinn and jane Palch have proved themselves very efhcient and capable as fuel distributors of this firm. despite the fact that they are women. Rita Beane and Pearl Petrncci are the managers of the thriving Blood's Bakery. Patricia Foley is head sales-clerk of the Woolworth's store in Wakefield. The reason for the Cubby llole's success is the able management of ,llarfha Tnfvper. The First National Store in Wakefield has grown to a tremendous size. Maybe it's because Douglas Maher is the manager. 'l'here's a new store on the corner of Nlain and Center Streets. lt is the xlive'n liatf' the favorite haunt of the school pupils of both Wakefield and Reading. ll is managed by Angelina and Anne l:'t'a1igelisfa. Valentina Canino and Christine Cofeiello are the attractive waitresses of the spa. and they provide vocal entertain- ment, too. There have been several appointments to the W. ll.

Daniel Rocllierg is Mr. lvinder's new assistant. l have not found out as yet what his secret formula is for making students stay in every class every day. Barbara Roieell is the new art teacher. Alice Cflinio has several algebra classes, and the students lgirlsj are being instructed by Katherine Allen, the physical training teacher.

Without the benefit of road maps, we soon learned our way around and enjoyed high school life-all except the lap-boards which we used in the auditorium study periods. Being only freshmen, we were not allowed to take part in many of the pop- ular sportsg and many of us were too timid to enter into the social life provided by the school. llowever, some joined the Inter Nos Club: some joined the Clee Club or the bandg and others played in the orchestra. Among those who were members of the Glee Club or the band were Donald Parker, Laurence Stickney, Richard Elliott, Eleanor Dow, james Reid, Alice Climo, Irene Landrigan and Priscilla Ham. Martha 'liupper and Emily Sparks were Ereshmen Directors of Inter Nos. The freshmen members of the girls' field hockey team were Katherine Allen, Geraldine Nlohla, Alice johnson, and Winifred hfloncrief. Daniel Rodberg, john Nlanning, and joseph Czarnota already began to show promise as athletes. llaving successfully completed a year's publication, the Lookout began its sec- ond year in September, 1040. Although several freshmen contributed to the paper, our class representatives were Priscilla llam, jean Kelso, and Barbara Rowell, all of whom were feature writers. Nlrs. Iiogg substituted for Mrs, Iooker, our Latin Instructor, who was in the hospital. lhe Student Council was conducted again after a lapse of several yearsg how- ever, only upperclassmen were members. About the only thing which had no limitations for freshmen was achievement of scholastic honors, consequently, we earned the admiration of our superior class- mates as the freshmen led in the total number of pupils on the honor roll. This year Nlr. hlarche introduced a driving class. Although no actual driving lessons were given, the pupils were taught the functions of an automobile as well as all the safety rules and regulations. lhen came june. Our Boot lraining had seemed diliicult at times, but we had thoroughly enjoyed it and were anxious to try our tricl-is in open 'lf-XC'I'lCS4 our sophomore year. Taeties sovnoxioiua yigiue ion - ioiz When we returned in September as sophomores, we found three new members on our faculty: hilt. Dinan had taken the position of the late hliss Illargaret Ryan as head of the Latin department: and hliss Doyle had replaced Nliss Drugan as civics and business practice teacher. We also found that hlr. Shellenberger, who had entered the Navy as a physical director, had been replaced for the duration by Nlr. Rood from the Uniyersity of New llampshire. Probably the greatest change in our habits came with the introduction of the rotating system. Instead of five short periods a week, we had each subject four long periods, leaving one period a week for homeroom programs and one for other activities, such as music or driying class. lleing sophomores, we studied vocations in the homeroom period. Page Ninety-two Another new feature this year was the student activities ticket. lts purpose was to make the total cost of all the school activities more reasonable, and beinf' on a weekly payment basis, it enabled the students to pay more easily. Another innovation was the tuberculin test which was given all the students whose parents consented. After several tests for certain cases which showed signs of tuberculosis, it was found that no pupil in the high school had tuberculosis in any form. During this year, air-raid drills were conducted for the first time in the history of the high school. Mr. Heavens was given the responsibility of seeing that these drills were carried out efhcientlyg one for evacuating the building, the other for seeking safety within the building. With Miss Allman as faculty adviser, the Lookout was published every other week under the direction of john Mulcahey and Ralph Bangs. A large number of sophomores assisted on the staff. Under the direction of Mr. Healey, home-talent night was hrst conducted dur- ing our sophomore year. All proceeds went to the lfootball Sweater Fund. The outstanding feature of this, the Hrst home-talent night, was Curtis Chrisfield's rendition of Blues in the Night. This was a gala football year for the team was successful in winning seven out of ten games, and we were privileged to watch the growing success of Larry Bartnick, one of the best football players ever to start his career in Wakefield. Our class was well represented on the team by William Nlartino, Allan Thresher. Harland Ratcliffe, john Manning, Paul Wheeler, and joseph Sardella. During the 10-ll-10-12 season Wakefield entered the Eastern Nlassachusetts Hockey League: and under the guidance of Mr. Dinan, the team went to the championship in their first year. While only a sophomore, joseph Czarnota was a Hrst-string forward. He also proved to be top man of the league by leading the league in scoring. We had another championship team this year. The golf team went undefeated in league competition but lost to 1.ynn English in the first round of the state matches. The interest shown by the girls of the class indicated that they were as sports minded as the boys. The class of 10-14 had the largest representation in intra- mural sports, including basketball, archery, tennis, bowling, softball, field hockey. and golf. The members of the basketball team, under Coach Coluccis new system. did not Hnd themselves until late in the season: however, they then won from a pre- viously undefeated Lexington team. ln the spring the baseball team. captained by john lnglis, did well by winning six out of ten games. Mr, Rood turned out a very good team in his Hrst year as baseball coach at Wakefield. The track team was one of the first to suffer the impacts ol' war. Mr. Colucci. the coach, organized the team but, just prior to the first meet, was called into the service. After some time Mr. lleavens took over, for the boys were eager to continue. As sophomores we had taken an active part in all school activities, both social and athletic. We had now reached the half-way mark in our high school careers and were looking forward to September and our junior year when we should put our knowledge and practice to the test in open COMBAT. F1 Combat jLlNlOR YEAR 1042 -1043 Two hundred and fifty-hve pupils started the ball rolling in our junior year. The reason for the smaller class was the increase in issuance of working certificates. a change which proved that already our class was striving toward victory in the war effort. Page Ninety-three This year we chose the class officers to lead us through our school days. Throughout the election keen competition prevailed, but we finally decided upon the following: President, john Manning Vice President, Priscilla Ham Secretary, lrene Landrigan Treasurer, john Sparkes A military spirit entered the Wakefield High School in the fall of 1942, for the first time in many years, when once a week Captain Ciray Brockbank and Cap- tain Robert Mac Kenna strove to teach eager junior and senior boys the fundamen- tals of military training. Physical education, under Coach llarold Rood's direction, went far in excess of its usual schedule. Up to this time only freshman and sophomore boys had had gym, and then only twice a week. With the present high-geared training program, our class of boys was to have four years of physical education, instead of the cus- tomary two. The reason for this drastic change was to prepare Wakefield boys to meet the Army and Navy physical requirements. Coach Rood's schedule con- sisted of four periods a week of Commando tactics, drills and sports: and his motto was Kill or Cure! The scholastic record set by our fellow class members was one of which we can well be proud. High honors were attained by both janet Cole and Marilyn Stark- inan for all five terms. Besides this, several members were efficient enough to see their names on the honor roll many times. A new club, the Tri-l li-Y Club. was organized this year as a girls' addition to the lli-Y Club. The club. named in honor of our dean, is the llelen F. Gilmore Tri-Ili-Y Chapter. The members of the junior Class who became officers were: Priscilla llam, president and Nlary llurton, recording secretary. Our class president. john Manning, conducted a special assembly called by Nlr. Peterson for the purpose of choosing our class colors and motto. Samples of each had been placed on the bulletin board to help us in our choice. After much discussion, we chose for our colors, burgundy and gold: and for our motto, N0 YICTOR Y WITI IOUT LABOR. We who had surmounted all obstacles with fly- ing colors were then fully prepared for our senior year-and YICTORY. 21 . Victory SIQNIOR YFAR N43-10-l-l Un September S, IOM, we returned for our last and most important year. lt was a year of vigorous activity, for most of our members were engaged in some extra-curricular work with bearing upon the war effort. With john Nlanning and Guido Tine as co-captains the football team was soon launched upon its career: however ice hockey was Wakefield's outstanding sport for this year, much of the credit for the successful season belonging to llarland Ratcliffe and Allan Thresher, the co-captains, and to the able coaching of Nlr. Clarence Muse. who piloted the team through many a close and thrilling game. Our class officers were elected as follows: l'r'esir1'v11f, john Nlanning Vice l'rvxide1zl. Dan Wheeler St'c1't'far.i', john Butler Treaszrrer, llarland llatcliffe .Xmid the excitement of Christmas and prospective vacation, we produced the Senior Play, The Fighting Littlesf' which provided entertainment for the pupils. parents. and faculty. No one will eyer forget the Senior Party which was held February ll. in honor of the members of the class who had either joined or were about to join the armed forces. The dance was both socially and financially a success. Page Ninety-four ln the fall. the lnter Nos Club began another successful and happy year with the following ofiicers: President, june Taylor Vice President, lrene Landrigan Treasurer, Marjorie Willard Recording Secretary, jean Kelso Corresponding Secretary, Phyllis Reynolds Senior Directors, Emily Sparks and jeanette Landry During the year, entertaining and helpful programs were presented concerning vocations, dress, and home nursing. A large proportion of the school membership was represented in the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. Under the direction of Mrs. King and Mr. Fulton, both groups did some excellent work and we enjoyed the results of their intensive practice when they entertained us at Armistice Day and Christmas assemblies. Two other outstanding clubs whose membership consists of boys and girls of the school are the Hi-Y and Tri-lili-Y. These clubs combined have given us manv of our enjoyable sports dances and they have contributed toward making us better citizens by presenting lectures on the war, current events, health, dress, character. and personality. Combined meetings of these clubs with Inter Nos have resulted in cementing new friendships among the students of the school. During this senior year we have lost many of our outstanding classmates to Uncle Sam. Robert Crowley, Guido Tine, Charles McGuire, joseph Sardella. Ralph Pike. William Martino, john llunneman, and Whitman Bears have joined the forces. The school committee has been most generous in awarding diplomas to those who left early for the service. We, the victors of the many obstacles that fall in the path of an education during war times, will always remember that there never can be and never will be VICTORY WITHOUT LABOR.

Ripley Members of the Class of 1944: The School Committee has given me the privilege of bringing to you their congratulations on the successful completion of your High School course, and of awarding you, a little later, on their behalf, the diplomas which set the seal of their approval upon your work. We congratulate you upon the program that you have presented, and We felicitate especially Miss Bernice Caswell, head of the Department of English, who planned it and worked with you upon it, to make it the fine ac.complishment that it has proved to be. No one knows better than I that both you and this audience hope that my words will be as few as possible. Let me assure you that they will be few. I do desire, however, to draw your atwntion to two facts. While the class of 1944 is the third to be graduated since the beginning of the world conflict, there is a difference this yearg and in that difference lies something that you may have cause long to remember. May I say here that entirely to ignore the war would be unthinkableg to say a word too much would be unfortunate, since our emotions are so close to the surface. This much, however, may properly be said. We are passing through deep waters: yet We are venturing now-and rightly so, I believe-to think about and to plan for the peaceg and when peace shall have become a fact, for the building of a new world. In this new world, which will be better, I am con- vinced, than the one we gave you, you are to have your share. I charge you then, no matter where or what you are asked to build, see to it that you are builders worthy of your hire. That means for one thing, that you should always bring credit upon the school from which you are presently to be gradu- ated. But we are thinking also about your world that is here and now, so realistic and so close. We think with genuine and deep admiration of the service that you are already rendering, and will render, to maintain our freedom. Some of you will render that service worthily here at home. Some will presently enter the armed forces. Others are already a noble part of those forces: and for them these vacant chairs and this uniform speak eloquently. With this admiration goes our faith in your continuing courage, and our petitions rise daily to the Throne of Grace for your welfare and your safety.

It has come in the year that marks the 300th anniversary of the incorporation of your town. But you may be thinking, What bearing has that on my life and plans? Why should I try to inform myself or even think about what men and women did and said one, two and three hundred years ago? Wlhat good will that do me? No good at all, would be my answer, if you and I did nothing but study and think about life in those earlier decades here. But the truth of the matter is, that the past, and especially our past here in Wakefield, has something to say to you and me, and to ask o-f you and me. I am thinking, at this moment, of a few lines of verse that contain perfectly the gist of my message to you tonight. These verses are very bad poetry-in fact, as poetry, they couldn't well be worse. They contain one mildly amusing line, but their import is so serious, and so right for what I am trying to say, that I am going to repeat them to you: If you could see your ancestors All standing in a row, There may be some of them, perhaps, You wouldn't care to know. But there's another notion That demands another view- If you could see your ancestors Would they be proud of you? It doesn't matter in the least whether your forbears or mine came to these shores thirty years ago, or ten times thirty years ago-, since they brought with them that which was good. Some brought intellectual abilityg some, artistic talent: others, moral strengthg and still others, endurance to work hard and long. Some brought all of these things. Whatever good these men and women brought to Wakefield has been wrought into the fabric of our life here through three centuries. It has formed our high standards of conduct and citizenship. It has helped to give beauty to our town. In other words, it constitutes our heritage and because it is our heritage, it is also our responsibility, and that is the whole story of the value of a 300th anniversary observance. So whether it belongs to the 17th or the 20th century, it is a wonderful heri- tage. I venture to say that there is none better in all the world than this heri- tage that is so truly yours. Take it upon you, then, as your responsibility. Live up to it. Be proud of it, wherever you are--in the armed forces or here at home, at work for peace and freedom. We believe that you will do that and so make us proud of you. In the new world that you will help to build, build to your very best, my dear young friendsg and take with you into it, as a responsibility, your goodly heri- tageg assume it proudly, maintain it honorably. In this final moment of our being together, I am to award you, on behalf of my colleagues of the School Committee, your High School diplomas. As I do so, let me say that there has never been a time in the long history of High School education, when a High School diploma has been more honorable, more honored and more essential. Receive it then from my hands, and resolve, as you do so, to regard it and all for which it stands as a precious possession. And with it receive also our con- gratulations, ou.r affection and our blessing. Dear Member of the Class of 1944: Mrs. Ripley hoper that you will like to place this copy of her message to you with the other souvenirs of your graduation. 'Zvi''I ! Z !''! Z ! ! !
