One of Greenwoods contributions to Wnkpneld High School is Rusty Ratclitfe. Through his four brilliant years of football and ho-ckey, Rusty has proved his worth as a clean, but hard-hitting, center on the gridiron and as a defense- man on the hockey team. Both his brains and brawn will be great assets to him when he is a member of the Naval Air Corps. We shall miss him. Page Eleven 5 3 '23 We-I sea?

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.
