WAKEFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ECHO FRESHMEN THE FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY The Freshmen Class of 1924 of the Wakefield High School has proved to be quite a large one consisting of sixty-four boys and girls. Though perhaps young and green in everything else it surpasses the other three classes in number. As high school was something new in our school life it took us several weeks to get acquainted with our new surroundings and methods of trying to accomplish things. The old fashioned initiation was done away with, and a party given by the Sophomores took its place. During the first few weeks, we, like the other classes, held our meetings and elected our class advisor, president, secretary and treasurer. During the latter part of September the class held a weenie roast and invited the faculty to attend. Now as it is near the close of the first term we are fully acquainted with our new surroundings; the boys taking an active part in basketball and a few of the Freshman girls playing on the regular high school team. Altogether, we are proud to consider ourselves a part of the Wakefield High School.

 WAKEFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ECHO FOOTBALL, 1923 Wakefield High School started the season of 19211 with a pair of tackles and three back-field men as a nude ’s for a team, which meant that it would be necessary to “find” or “make” a number of good players out of raw material if we were to have much of a team. The first night or two things looked pretty good as about 26 men turned out for practice but as soon as the hard bumps started about ten of the 26 failed to appear for practice. i ------------------------—---------- JOE FERRARO Sub., Half VILJO MAKI Guard Vil.jo gave a good account of himself in the few games he got into and we expect him to win a regular berth in 1924. IIAIH1Y MATHEWS Center “Dunk” played his first and last year for W. II. S. at center and developed into a very good passer. What “Dunk” lacked in pounds and experience he made up for in determination. With Harry’s graduation in June Wakefield loses a good, steady, center. t’LARENCE IIILLIS Sub., End and Tackle ISA DOR YATCZAK End “ Ezy Jack” playing his first year of football made good use of his basketball knowledge and specialized in intercepting forward passes. With the knowledge of the game gained this year we expect Ezy to go big next fall. Rage Twenty-Eight
