.. -- THE WEST WARWICK SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL OUR NEW TEACHERS The faculty of our high school has been augmented by the addition of Mr. L. Leonard Girouard and Miss Mildred Taylor as physical instructors, Mr. John E. McCarthy as Athletic Coach, Miss Mary Jane Briggs as history instructor, and the return of Mrs. Mary I. Fogarty as instructor and Head of the English department. It is with recognition and understanding of their efforts and proficiency, that we, on behalf of the student body, welcome and thank them for their excellent teachings. OUR NEW BUILDING In response to the earnest request of the students, faculty, and school committee, the tax-payers of the Town of West Warwick voted most generously at the last Town Meeting an appropriation for an addition to the old high school. Opened December 29, 1931, the new addition provided new laboratories for the Physics and Chemistry Department, two new rooms for the Com- mercial Department, and a gymnasium. It is with sincere appreciation of the opportunity offered that the Student Body expresses its gratitude to its benefactors, and its hope that classes of the Future will seek to justify the faith of the taxpayers in the students. 13

xii OUR SCHOOL LUNCH The School Lunch, now a vital part of the School Organization, has ful- filled the purpose for which it was organized. It plays an important part in the Health Work of the school, and the proper feeding of the pupils is it's first consideration. In no way is the financial end of the project emphasized. However, the constant patronage of the Junior and Senior High School pupils has made the School Lunch financially successful. From this patronage, the Director of the School Lunch feels that the pupils and parents appreciate this order of things, and that this support will encourage her to continue and extend her activities. All money spent by the pupils will be returned to them in improved equipment and larger variety in selection of foods. Breakage and loss of silver have increased greatly during the past year. This is a most expensive item, and one that the pupils can overcome them- selves. It means that the pupils are putting an expense on themselves which is most unnecessary. Cooperation in this respect would mean money in the pupil's pockets. The close connection between the Domestic Science Class Work and the School Lunch in the Senior High School contributes a great deal to the success of the latter. The School Lunch has cooperated with every School Activity to promote the success of the same, and has also played an impor- tant part in the Social Activities of the Teachers' Association. In fact, the School Lunch is eager to cooperate with any School or Teachers' activity to promote social success. Signed: MONICA CUMMISKEY, Supervisor of Home Economics. 14
