This is our school, Wokefield. Suitobly nomed for the birthplace of the famous American, George Washington, , our school wos built In a field adjacent to a grove of trees, a location where Washington may once have surveyed. It Is said that the star on our American Flag came from the Washington Coot of Arms. Starstones, small five- pointed fossils found In Englond, the former home of the Washington family, formed the pattern for the stars on our flag. We have named your yearbook Starstone because of its close relationship to George Washington. It Is the hope of all of us to make our school a model of our Americon Ideals. As Wakefield Is developed In many new ways each year, may your Starstone also be enlarged and perfected.

R In compony with the students ond stoff of Wakefield, I take great pride In our school and Its accomplishments. In two short years we have done much to build a school which enlists the affection and commands the respect of all those connected with It. It has been especially gratifying to see the school finding on Importont place In community life and think- ing, and at times receiving even state ond national recognition for some of Its activities. We could not have built so soundly and ropidly had It not been for the friendly and constructive way In which students ond stoff have worked togefher toward com- monly held goals. This pictoral record of the 1954-1955 school year Is another example of joint student-foculty endeavor. It Is my hope that this book will serve effectively to document the life of the school. To the extent that It does this It will assume Importance — may this be an Important book!
