72 THE EPITOM E OUR BA D The band has successfully completed the.first full semester of its existence. Early in September it was organized, under the capable leadership of S. Powell Middleton. The nucleus gathered then grew to 34 members, representing all the departments of a well- balanced musical organization. Another notable feature in the history of the band was the purchase of uniforms during this term. All the foot ball games at home and away saw the boys resplendent in their red and black outfits, which were loaned by the school to the players as long as they served. Undoubtedly the band contributed materially to the success of our grid team, as well as frequently entertaining the students with selec- tions. In the one term of its existence this organization has become a recognized insti- tution of the school and bids fair to repeat in other years its remarkable success in this. S. POYVELT.

THE EPITOME 71 The Orchestras ' After a somewhat disconcerting start, the orchestra gained its stride and com- pleted a successful term. From the early part Of the semester until the end Of the foot ball season, practically all attention was devoted to the band. Thus, previous to Thanksgiving the orchestra made little progress, although Once started it ad- vanced rapidly. The climax of this short but eminently successful season was Commencement, when the Orchestra presented a caliber of music very different from what it had ever before attempted. For its weeks of hard work spent in pre- paring these selections it earned well-merited applause. The brass and wood sections were enriched by several instruments hitherto lacking, which lent added tone quality tO the playing. The Class of ,29 June is to be congratulated on the line spirit of many of its members, who did not hesitate to try out for the orchestra at the beginning of the term. As usual, no little credit for the success of the organization is due to Mr. Middleton, the capable director. PERSONNEL Director- S.

THE EPITOME 73 SENIOR PROM On Thursday evening, December 30, 1926, at the Berkshire Hotel, the Senior class held its Prom. It was one of the most enjoyable and successful Proms held in the history of Reading High School. Amid festoons of blue -and white, together with seasonal greens draped across the ball room and mezzanine floor, the dancers kept step to the snappy music furnished by the Colonial Serenaders. They again controlled those present with the same magnetic power that dominated at the '27 Feb. Frolic. The orchestra was hidden from clearvlsion by the stream- ers of blue and white that surrounded them. Upon the wall of the ball room was hung the '27 Feb. banner, which re- flected beautifully during the waltzes. All the girls greatly appreciated the novel corsages. Many of the alumni attended this well-arranged dance. It was plainly seen by the expressions upon their faces that they were well pleased with the affair. Those present were as follows: Helen R. Eliott, Mary Seidel, Betty Kreiger, Ann,Forema.n, Mae Yohn, Ida Hartnett, Bertha Beyerle, Agnes Wertz, Lydia Scholl, Virginia Detweiler, Miriam Fisher, Verna Bomberger, Violet Dans, Dorothy Moore, Alice Schaeffer, Edna Roderick, Roberta Myers, Eleanor Fisher, Virginia Haage, Dorothy Reinard, Dor- othy Weston, Miriam Bard, Ruth Adams, Emma Diller, Dorothy Foreman, Frances Reeser, Marguerite Devaney, Kitty High, Sabina DeHart, Helen Frederick, Ruth Ott, Ruth Pfaffner, Alice Haugen, Helen Lasser, Mary Hughes, Louise Whiller, Fan Shuler, Stella Sheidy, Jennie Edson, Marion Eisenberg, Esther Yeager, Leona Seibert, Gloria Walters, Errie Beyler, Mabel Sutton, Blanche Brough, Lil Stull, Dorothy Jones, Elenore Miller, Dot Mc- Coy, Ruth Laub, Elizabeth Birch, Miriam Spatz, Betty Elliot, Betty Young, Bessie Beggs, Edna Hess, Ruth Young, Margaret Newroth, Mildred Posey, Sara Wentzel, Edna Miller, Fern Kerst, Eve Stocker, Mary Stapp, Irene Weider, Sara.
