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.

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. Aiding him in this program were the president, Philip Hoefferg vice presi- dent, David Schlegel gsecretary, Christopher Ernst g and treasurer,Robert Rickenbach. Jay om .... Twenty one
