We the graduating Class of 1930 dedicate this our last issue of the Wide Awake to the first graduating class of this high school. . If any of that class should look over this issue they will see that many changes have taken place in the school which they had the honor of starting. We cannot tell here all the changes that have been brought about by the intervening years but we can tell of a few things that have been accomplished in this our last year here. The student body has turned its attention seriously to music and during the year we have had one singing period weekly. Considerable results from this period are already in evidence. Interclass track meets have been started and although a few athletes seem to dominate, this condition will soon be changed and the meets are a fixed part of the school program. The boys basketball team swept thru the league schedule without a defeat and the high school now possesses a silver cup as a symbol of the record which we hope will inspire future teams to greater efforts than has been the case in the past. During the year the dramatic program was expanded quite a bit. By giving three one act plays, we broke the age old custom of having one long play per evening. This change gave an opportunity for many more students to get a chance to act and made possible a more varied and interesting program. At the same time, as the work was distributed among many, it was much easier on the few who would have been selected for the old type of play. As soon as the first group were out of the way, Woodbury entered into a friendly competition with Roxbury and Washington in which each school produced one one-act play as part of a program which was presented in each town. This is the first time that anything of this nature has been attempted and many have expressed their hope that it will not be the last. H;gh School dances have become popular and we hope that the classes to come will keep up the custom of giving dances during the holiday seasons so that the alumni may be able to attend. This is about the only way some of them can come in contact with the present students and form any accurate opinion as to what kind of folks they are. The baseball team has surprised everybody by winning several games and the prospects of a better team next year are excellent. Although no championships have been won, the team has moved out of its former class and ought to stav out if any kind of interest is taken in them by the rest of the school and the people of the town. The Mirror has made its appearance as the weekly news paper of the school. Thanks to the good work of the editor Vivian Platt we have been treated to a lot of good editorials, feature articles, and some poetry that at times was better than doggerel. However neither she or any other editor can run a paper alone, as anyone knows who has tried, and the co-operation of the whole school will be necessary if the Mirror is to maintain its present high standard. Owing to the outstanding success of the Mirror the Wide Awake has been curtailed to two issues this year and next year will appear only as the official year book of the school. We have attempted a start in that direction this year and the results you can judge for yourself. Not content with all these changes, as graduation drew near, we felt that it was necessary to change another custom so we decided to have Class Day exercises in addition to graduation. This gives an opportunity for more members of the class to have some part in the Commencement program. Whether other classes will follow our example remains to be seen.
