The purpose of a yearbook is to comprehensively and to accurately record the events of the school year. Thus is a very noble and vvorthy project. QBut regardless of how high the purpose may be, it also requires a lot of elbow grease. The Vaquero Staff has expended a great deal of time and energy to produce this book and sincerely hopes they have adequately accomplished the task given them. In charge of the industrious group was Editor David Potteiger, and the cap- able and helpful adviser was Miss Dorothy Lemmert. Everyone had a definite job to do, and it was up to the editors of the various departments to see that the members of the groups which they headed did their work efficiently and thoroughly. The staff does not intend to stop Working after the book has been completed, but is going to Work on constructive planning to attempt to better the quality of next years book.

Waonifor Syafem 'tWatch that white line, was a familiar expression heard in the halls of West Reading High School. Our monitors were constantly on duty to supervise the actions of the students around the school. Monitors were posted through- out the halls during the change of classes in order to keep hall traffic moving. The Board of Monitors, with David Potteiger as Chairman and Mrs. Gresh as adviser, Worked First row: B. Haehnel, J. Brunner, B. Gring, D. Potteiger, M. A1'I1l.'I1OI1, G.

Senior high school student monitors were suggested by the 1946-47 Board of Monitors and were approved by Student Council. This method of self-discipline was the most satisfactory form of student co-operation and gave a decided gain in the ever-growing advancement of our school. Behind the scenes of every auditorium production in our school, we find a quietly active group-the Assembly Committee. Seldom hitting the headlines with some spectacular accomplishment, its members are, nevertheless, performing their duties with ability and imagination. Working in close co-operation with the Stagecraft Club, this organization assumes the responsibility of lining up assembly sponsors for the year and giving each one practical suggestions for a better program. The committee assigns each home room a definite area on its seating chart at the beginning of the year and also arranges the assembly sequence to provide maximum interest and variety. Until the Assembly Committee was organized three years ago, West Reading students were not accus- tomed to having a program every week, and assemblies were called only on special occasions. Admirable progress has been made, and there can be no doubt that our assemblies have become well- planned, full of variety, and consistently better by the efforts of this committee.

Greth, livery other Fkiday afternoon as soon ascdasses are Over,the studentsrnake a mad dash to their home rooms to get their copy of the Lariat, hot off the press. Growing from the mimeographed publication of a few years ago, the Lariat has become a commercially printed newspaper. It now occupies a prominent position among school activities. The Lariat meets the demands for every type Of news. Its columns range from the gossipy Have You to the thought provoking editorials of James Robbins, Editor-in-Chief. Mrs. Bolton has freely given of her newspaper knowledge, and the whole staff has worked hard to make the paper a success. The Lariat's activities have not stopped with putting out the bi-weekly paper. The editors were sent to a press convention, where they learned many helpful pointersg and Mrs. Bolton and the editors have been constantly coaching the staff in correct newspaper technique. The Lariat picnic, resumed after a lapse of a few years, provided some well-earned relaxation for the staff. STAFF Editor-in-Chief . . . Assistant Editor . .. News Editor ...... Sports Editor .....
