DR. E. J. BRAUN Assistant Superintendent There is something unique and satisfying in being the ' first ' ' in any enterprise. You, who are the first students to grad- uate from Wakefield High School, were also the first high school students to enroll there. For three years your class has been first. You have had a high privilege — that of establishing customs and traditions which may go on for a hundred years at your fine school. You have set excellent standards of achievement which, I also hope, may be maintained at Wakefield for the next cen- tury and more. As you go out from your wonderful Wakefield, I cherish the hope that you will never relinquish the feeling that you can be first in the things that really matter in life. You can always be first in high ideals and honest effort. You can always be first in patriotism and loyalty. Wakefield was built to build good cit- izens. As the first class to graduate, may you always be first in life ' s important attitudes and efforts. CHARLES J. WALSH Assistant Superintendent HhShhh T.
