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.

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.

In class base ball '27 June was only defeated for first pl-ace after a hard battle, and in all other forms of class athletics our boys always stood near the top. However, we have not only achieved great success in athletics, but our record in other school activities also stands out very prominently. Every Honor Roll list finds at least 251k of our class among the Honor Boys. Members of our class are represented on every team and in every club in the school, and many of them hold high positions in there organizations. We can truly say we are proud of our class and of its achievements. Only one term is left for us at Old Reading High, but we intend to make it the best of all and prove that the last class. that will graduate from the Boys' High School will also be the class. ' To the members of the Class of 1927 February we bid an affectionate farewell. We are sorry to see you leave our midst, but know that you have left behind you an envious record, a record which it will be hard for any class to surpass. We wish all ot' you the best of success in whatever you may do, and we know that Reading High will have just cause to feel proud of 1161' sons of '27 Feb.

At a class meeting, held in the past two months, a committee to take charge of the rings and pins was elected. This com- mittee has received orders from many of the boys. At a later meeting of the class a Red and Black staff was appointed from
