Applause began, growing more thunderous with every second as The Reverend Imre Kovacs modestly waited for the expression of praise to abate. The Challenge of Being an American, his speech, seemed to pervade the very air. The Hi-Y was very proud of itself and the speaker, whom they presented with the aid of the Y-Teens. President Philip Hoeifer gratefully rose to thank the impressive Mr. Kovacs. This was only a bird's-eye view of the work the Hi-Y club performed in con- junction with their usual meetings and entertainment, the Hi-Y meetings were enlivened at various times by movies and intramural basketball. Mr. Forrest Schaefer is to be congratulated for his leadership and interest in the club.

One of the busiest and most popular organizations in the school, the Y-Teens were constantly putting on interesting programs and planning enjoyable social events. One of the most thoroughly appreciated programs of the entire year was the Hower show held in early spring. A representative from Giles, a well-known local florist, demonstrated to the members the art of arranging Howers and making corsages. Other activities included a gym night, a well-attended doggie roast, and a visit by Mrs. Sands' theatrical group. The annual VV. P. A. Dance and yearly banquet were other highspots of the year's events. In a more serious vein, the Y-Teens packed boxes for distribution at Thanksgiving time and made scrapbooks which were given at Christmas time to the children in the Reading Hospital. Heading this enterprising organization were the following: Janet Brunner, president, Ann Grauert, vice-president, Siegrid Richter, secretaryg and Anna Cucinotta, treasurer. The officers were invaluably assisted by the two advisers, Miss McDonald and Miss Lemmert. This organization has successfully performed its worthy objective of teaching young minds that constructive ideas and deeds can be successfully and enjoyably accomplished.

It is difficult to differentiate between the orchestra and the band in a school the size of West Reading. Most musicians who belong to one of these organizations also belong to the other. Probably the best way to identify these groups is by the uniforms which they wear. The band is attired in colorful maroon and steel uniforms and the orchestra wears tan sport coats, which were made by members of the P. T. A. The uniforms for both groups were obtained during the past year and marked another forward step in the rapid development of these music organizations. Much of this recent advancement has been due to the leadership and effort of Mr. Barthold. The band was especially conspicuous at football games. The orchestra pro- vided the music for our daily assemblies and special class events. A considerable group of people from these organizations were selected to play in All County Band and All County Orchestra. heiser, P. Bailey, D. Cherry J Fourth row: G. Sponagle J Rhoda, N.
