TO OUR TEACHERS who have been the source of all knowledge, and who have personilied the qualities of perseverance and unconquerahle cour- age, we extend our sincere thanks for their untiring efforts to impart their wisdom and spirit to us, and we pray that they may continue in their noble service toward humanity. TO OUR CLASSMATES we wish that joy and success may accompany them through their lives for the comradeship and happiness which associa- tion with them has brought us. TO OUR OWL STAFF we extend our gratitude and thanks for their cooperation and devotion to a task quite different from their regular work in life.

Members of the Graduating Class of 1935:- Your motto, 'iln Living Learn and Learning, Live, suggests to me the words of Shakespeare?- What is a man, If his chief good, and market of his time, Be but to sleep, and feed? A beast, no more. Sure He, that made us with such large discourse, Looking before, and after, gave us not That capability and godlike Reason To rust in us unused. By your enrollment and faithful attendance in our Standard Evening High School you have given unmistakable evidence of your desire to learn more and live better. To most of you the acquisition of a diploma will mean no immedi- ate increase in wages. Wherein then, lies the profit which you have realized from completing a high school course of study? Your philosophy of life and your attitude toward the future are reflected in the motto which you have select- ed as a guiding star to direct your lives. Members of the class of 1935, as a consequence of your training received in this institution, your capacity for service in your community is greatly enlarg- ed. Our wish is that your opportunity to serve may be correspondingly increas- ed. When this is true, you will be LIVING in the fullest sense of the word for 'il-le liveth best who serveth mostf, To this end you have our best wishes for suc- cess. Very sincerely, Warren F. Gish WARREN F. CISH, Principal Franklin and Marshall, BA. Columbia, M.A. To the Graduates of the Standard Evening High School: This is the Three Hundredth Anniverary of the Founding of Second- ary Education. The old Town Records of Boston say: On the 13th of the second month, 1635, at a General meeting upon publique notice-it was -generally agreed upon that our brother Philemon Pormort shall be intreat ed to become scholemaster for the teaching and nourtering of children with us. These people were far removed from their homeland. Famine, pesti- lence and an unkown wilderness faced them. And they calmly prepared plans for the education of their children by founding a school for the teach- ing of Latin and Greek. Such Was the beginning of the High School. The Standard Evening High School meets the needs of this day as the Latin Grammar School met the needs of the particular group in 1635. Reading is fortunate to be able to offer to the adults of the city such a splendid program of courses in the Evening Schools. The graduating class-the largest in the history of the school-and the undergraduates have my very best wishes for success. THOMAS H. FORD Superintendent of Schools. THOMAS H. FORD, Superintendent of Schools Dickinson, Ph. B. University of Pennsylvania, M.A. CLASS OF R935 lfx ob if Y Fl. Miss Mendelsohrfs Message To The Class of 1935: School days are happy days. You, members of the Reading Even- ing High School, seem to think so. Otherwise, tired after a day's work, would you have come, night after night, cheerfully and smilingly, to attain a richer and deeper knowledge of life ? Dull, daily, living cares seem to vanish as we all meet for a common purpose-learning. There is a certain joy and happiness which prevails in working together. You, Seniors, have found this true. For two years you have co-operated as a class, giving of your time and energy for activities apart from acquiring an education and earning a livelihood. The associa- tions made, the friendships formed, the new ideas developed have meant as much as the academic knowledge attained. May you never lose that feeling of good will, happiness, and enthu- siasm found in working together and learning. As in your motto, may you In learning live, and in living learn.

We long shall remember what we have been taught, Our fond recollections of school can't be bought, They'l1 shine on the gloom of the loneliest day, And help to cheer us along our way. We have not come to the end of our way But shall press onward and upward for aye, We'll meet the future without any fear And faithfully strive to fulfill our desires. In living learn and in learning live: To this our motto, allegiance we give, To Alma Mater we'll ever be true, And with these promises, say fond adieu. - Ethel Groff .A.-.fs-- 1-.-.P .? --- - -..---:i..- v- --'..m.....- -- - --,eff-..saa,- -L,-.A '--,-- ,.-..- -- ----V - -- - -- G1 THE OWL .Q!7.LU d 'f CLASS A IQ35 JACK KOC H President ELMER A.

There's never a dull moment when Frances is around. She is one of the noisy pupils, always talking, laughing and having a good time, usually with the opposite sex. The sucess of many of our class aifairs was largely due to her hard Work. We wish you plenty of happiness and luck, Frances. Class Colors: BLUE and GOLD HENRY GALLMAN 1120 Cotton Street If a medal for dignity were awarded to the Senior class our Henry Would be the recipient Without any trouble at a.ll. Poss- ibly this is because his chosen profession requires an unusual development of dig- nity. Henry desires to be a mortician. While this career is constantly in contest with sadness, he believes in looking on the bright side of life and so is able to laugh along with us. We shall be glad to meet you Henry, but not in any professional capacity. Lots of luck, Henry. .28 Tl-IE owl. CLASS OF 1935 i f O O 'll MILDRED F.

THE OWL fi o o I 0 CLASS OF 1935 ETHEL V. GROFF 735 North Eleventh Street Ethel is averv serious person with big brown eyes and a winning smile.

MARY HANNAHOE 1329 North Thirteenth Street Into our Class. This quiet Shamrock strayed: ' Her part as student and as friend Mary nobly played. Mary hasn't attended many of our class meetings so it took us longer to get ac- quainted. She takes a keen interest in her studies, and for anyone as persistent as she is, it is certain that her climb up the ladder will be crowned with success. 30 THE OWL. CLASS OF 1935 0 O AUSTIN HARPLE 226 Elm Street Austin is another one of the benedicts of our class. Between minding the children and washing the dishes he found time to come to Evening High to graduate with us. What he intends to do after his school days are over we do not know, but since he en- joys carpentering, we hope he will some day be a famous builder and contractor. So long and lots of luck, Austin. I will go anywhere, provided it be forward. Livingstone. ' ROBERT HARRIS 34 South Fifth Street Bob is the only one of our class who played on the Evening High Basketball team and starred too.

Here's hoping you reach your goal, Bob. .il-is OWL KN 00 CLASS OF l935 HUGO JUNGHENN 1034 Walnut Street Hugo is ambition personified. He is one of our seven absentees at each class meet- ing.

We know that you have been a success in most of your undertakings, and also are sure you will be successful in years to come. Auf Weider- sehn. The secret of getting on is getting started. IRWIN KENDERDINE JR. 730 Pear Street Here you look upon the wise countenance of Irwin Kenderdine, Jr. That school-girl complexion of his is the envy of many a feminine heart. He is one of those smil- ing, agreeable young men, who works very hard and intends to get somewhere. We don't know what he is going to do when he leaves us, but we're sure we'll hear of him someday. So We wish you happiness and success, Irwin. 32 THE OWL CLASS OF I935 W 0 0 l 0- JACK KOCH 335 South Eighteenth Street This tall, blond haired good-looking, young man is none other than Jack Kochg presi- dent of our class.

Whatever you undertake, the best wishes of your classmates will follow you, Jack. Don't put of until tomorrow, what can be done today AGNES KRAMER 114 Carrol Street I try my best, I heard her say, As for the rest -- let come what may.

Just take a look at the last page and you'll know she succeed- ed. This young maiden's chief desire in life is to become a nurse. If all nurses were like she, our hospital wards would be full of sunshine. 'Nhat would a certain person do if Mary went away? Lots of happiness and success, Molly. Contentment consists not in great wealth but in few wants RUSSELL MOYER 2160 Garfield Avenue, Wyomissing Who is always smiling? None other than our Russell. He says you can't keep a good man down, so he always does his best in whatever he undertakes. This also includes his lessons? ? While Russell is very quiet, never having much to say, we know his sunny smile and disposition will assure him of success in the future. Here's luck to you, Russell. 314 O ll HELEN NICKOLSON 311 Elm Street Helen seems to be a ray of sunshine that has decided to wander through our halls after the sun has bid us adieu. Her keen enjoyment of any joke and her interest in the class's affairs have won her many friends. We know she has been a con- cientious student and therefore success will come her way. Lots of luck and hap- piness, Helen. s CLASS OF I935 0 Self-conflict is the greatest of all victories. Plato. LEO ORTH 423 Mulberry Street This tall, dark haired young man is our classmate Leo.

PHYLLIS RICHARDS 1134 North Twelfth Street Phil is a very ambitious lass who has taken advantage of the pre-professional exam in order to graduate with our class.

We wish you success, Phyllis. 36P THE OWL CLASS OF 1935 -New 0 0 WALTER RUTH 118 Buttonwood Street This young man always has people puzzled as to his right name. Some call him Ruth instead of Walter.

Tl-IE OWL Emerson OO 0 CLASS OF 1935 LEONARD SOUDERS 821 Walnut Street And here, Ladies and Gentlemen, We have our future Optometrist. Leonard intends to follow in the footsteps of his father and has taken for his motto, Like father, like son. He must have a little Scotch in him for when the free eye examinations were given to the students, Leonard had his eyes examined. He had the doctors puzzled-he knew the letters by heart and read them so fast, the doctor thought he was trying to kid her. But all in all Leonard has a charming personality and we wish him the best of everything in life. One man who will is worth more than ten who must HANNAH STEWART 1251 North Eleventh Street Hannah's motto must be- The Wiser a woman the less she talks -for she did not say a word in class meetings during the Junior and Senior years. In so doing she kept out of all arguments. Perhaps if more women were like she, this place a happier world would be. Hannah is the athletic type and enjoys swimming very much. Someday we hope to hear that she swam across the Atlantic ocean. Good luck, Hannah. 38 CLASS OF I935 5 f 00 ol. JOHN STOFKO 444 Pearl Street A congenial young man is John, better known as Longy . He is one of the noble men who are very persistent in exclaiming, I don't bother with women, I arn an ab- solute women hater. But we know him better than that. He has the makings of another Bing Crosby, and is also very good at yodeling. 'We hope the world hears of you soon, John, and then we know success is yours. Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the dumb can understand. HELEN TOBOLESKI 434 Pearl Street Helen is one of the silent members of our class, she sees and hears all but says noth- ing. Someone heard her say that she's going to be a Spinster, but thats hard to believe. She intends to follow the Com' mercial line and become a secretary.

Ruth, Historian 146 THE OWL i J uf f A-ri? .,' CLASS OF IQ35 0 The Great Laboratory ALTER BAGEHOT, distinguished British scholar and essayist, long ago remarked that the United States is a great laboratory where self-evident truths are tested out from time to time. This is an apt, a per- fect description of the country as it is at the present time. The American people are paying the price of a long series of social and political, as well as economic blunders Our ancestors brought over slaves, and there are now twelve million descendants. We also have many millions foreign-born in this country and many millions more of foreign stock. Certainly no economic rearrangement, or even the adoption of a completely new or different economic system, can by itself go more than a little way in solving the racial and immigration problems. The economic system has been subiected to many stresses. Too many of us have expected the necessary adjustments to be made painlesslyg we have twisted and turned, hoped and wished and waited, instead of taking our medicine. The people today are beginning to be bewildered. They are wander- ing around in a helpless fog much longer than is necessary, and shall con- tinue to do so if their minds remain confused and indecisive. A great many of them are getting restless, with so much talk about depression. They want to go ahead, and they want business to go ahead, There has been a general back to the farm movement. The hope of success of this movement lies with the men of science. They can make our farms pay, revive and forward our industry, not by plowing under, by contracting, and by strait-jacket policies, but by suggestion and invention that will lead to expansion and give us more, not less. The many confused experiments now under way may, sometime in the future, twice repay all they have cost us. For, as a shrewd and experi- enced Western business man recently remarked: Nothing is created easi- ly, and both natural forces and human error stand in the way of easy crea- tion, easy interchange and easy distribution. There are no knots in the boards from the sawmill for him who is not engaged in that industry. There is no overburden of waste material, no pinching out of a productive vein of coal or precious metal for him who is not engaged in mining. The fish always bite for the man who never goes fishing. America recognizes the challenge. Every man, woman and child is a factor in this crucial laboratory experience from which must emerge a finer and better civilization for this and succeeding generations. Members of the Board of Directors: Through your kind efforts and active interest has this, our Commence- ment night, been made possible. We now take this opportunity to thank you and bid you farewell. Mr. Ford, Superintendent of Schools: To you, in a large measure, we owe the success of our educational en- THE OWL ob Y 48 deavours. We shall never forget your interest in the work of the Evening Schools and in its students. As We pause to thank you, we also say fare- Well. Mr. Gish, our Principal, Miss Mendelsolm, our Faculty Advisor, Members of the Faculty: To you we extend our sincere appreciation of your untiring efforts to guide us in our proper course. Ott times We have become wearied, paused, and then with renewed effort looked forward to Commencement. Through all our future problems and difliculties we shall endeavor to make Evening High proud of our class. In behalf of my classmates, I bid you farewell. Fellow Students: A year ago today We were in your places, dreaming of the day when We would graduate. May you persevere in your studies so that some day you too may reach the goal for which you are striving. We shall miss you but shall re-live in memory the pleasant associations We have formed here, Classmates: The joy of a dream realized is mixed with sadness, for every rose has its thorn. Tonight we stand at the crossroads, each going to seek success in his chosen field. If we but keep before us our motto- In living learn and in learning live, We shall not seek in vain. I now take this opportuni- ty to bid each of you a fond farewell. e LOVE IN A PRINT SHOP May I print si kiss on your lips?

This night marks the culmination of a rather long and arduous jour- ney, but We rejoice now in the success of our endeavors. To you, our parents, and to the members ofthe Board of Education, we give the credit for making this occasion possible. It is through your sacrifices and hard work that we are accorded this privilege of splendid education. In our system of education we have institutions of learning called schools. Let us consider tonight, for a few moments, what things consti- tute a true school. Very little thought is given to this question by the average person unless he cherishes a hope that someday he may attend a so-called school of higher learning. As we tonight are in this position let us pause for a few minutes and consider what the constituents of a true school are. At the first mention of a school several things come immediately to the fore of our minds. One possibly is the fame of its athletic teams and of the buildings erected to them. The fame of the half-back, the short-stop, or the stroke of the crew often far dershadows the scholastic ability of these same personages. Then the size of the enrollment of the school, the beauty of its cam- pus, the size and beauty of its buildings and the traditions which hover o'er them as a blanket will influence one in his selection of a school. There are others who will approve of a certain institution because it is attended by the wealthy and is heavily endowed by them. But these alone do not make a school, for these in themselves are not stable. The half-back, short-stop, and the men of the crew are soon for- gotten and others will take their places. The buildings will deteriorate and the wealthy people, possibly due to economic conditions or otherwise, may not aid the school. And what then? There is but one thing that can happen-the school will be discon- tinued and will fade into the past. But there are some things which are lasting. Let us together find out what they are. First, a true school has teachers who are capable of instructing those under their care. The desire of their lives is to be able to teach people how to get the most from life and from the successes of their pupils they receive their richest rewards. Secondly, a true school has pupils who are desirous of obtaining knowl- CLASS OF 1935 TI-IEKVL CLASS OF 1935 - v-it WWAWKMA, i it 0 O edge, glorying in their daily appointed tasks. Whole-heartedly they strive to gain the topmost crests of wisdom, that they not only may better their own lives, but also the lives of others. These elements constitute a true school. In such a school pupils are equipped and then tested for the larger battles of life and as they go forth conquering and to conquer, the fame and fortune of these former scholars will some day return to their Alma Mater. Fame of this nature is indestructible. The Socrates and Platos of other generations are still remembered along with the great scientists, doctors, and inventors. And the Edisons, Mayos, and Pasteurs of this century will, in like manner, never be forgotten. Therefore to strive for the more important things of life is the more desirable. But We should not decry athletics, for physical training is one of the cardinal principles of education. If a student having good marks in his studies goes in for athletics, he should be commended. Athletics, along with a scholastic career, is the best means of equipping one's self for life's great work. It develops the pluck and patience of the participants and teaches them to win with honor and lose without disgrace. While the mind is being developed, the body is also, the result being a perfect co- ordination between mind and body. Henry Van Dyke has expressed this idea very clearly in several lines of verse. Not ancient halls and ivy-mantled towers, When dull traditions rule With heavy hand youth's lightly springing powersg Not spacious pleasure courts, And lofty temples of athletic fame, Where devotees of sports Mistake a pastime for 1ife's highest aim, Not fashion, nor renown Of wealthy patronage and rich estates, No, none of these can crown A school with light and make it truly great. But masters strong and wise, Who teach because they love the teacher's task, And find their richest prize In eyes that open and in minds that ask, And ones, with heart aglow To try their youthful vigor on their work, Eager to learn and grow, T'n-Fovfi-TW TTWTTWTWTT' T CLASS OF i935 KS 00 W- 0 And quick to hate a coward or a shirk: These constitute a school,- But let not wisdom scorn The hours of pleasure in the playing fields I There also strength is born, And every well-shaved game a pleasure yields, Fairness and self-control, Good-humor, pluck, and patience in the race, Will make a person heart-whole To win with honor, lose Without disgrace, Ah, well for them who gain In such a school apprenticeship to life :f With them the joy of youth remains In later lessons and in larger' strife. -Henry Van Dyke. May we as a class and as individuals resolve that the prestige and real Worth of our school will be in direct proportion to our contribution in the form of service We render to our community and society at large. --Wayne F.

Text: All things come of Thee, O Lord, and of Thine own have we given Thee. -L Chronicles 29 : 14. UR text is a portion of King David's thanksgiving to God. It is his ac- knowledgement that without God, man is helpless, that his own great achievements were due primarily to God's blessing and goodness to him, and not to any inherent excellency which David himself might possess. It is rather typical of the world's truly great, that they are the first to admit their obligations to othersg the last to claim credit for themselves. It is equally typical of the little man to be self assertive and boastful. You who are soon to receive diplomas from the Reading Evening High School have also achieved victory. You have made many sacrifices. I suppose that in all those hundreds of nights when you have taken your way to the school for serious study, you could easily have found other en- gagements more pleasant perhaps, if not more profitable. Most of you have had some other employment during the day, and you have added to your self-denial the responsibilities of study and close application to work, when others were resting and recuperating from the toil of the day. This is an achievement of which you may well be proud. I do not belittle any, of your success when I call to your attention exactly what David recalled that there is no victory but what God participates in, no worthy deed done, but that we see the hand of God guiding and directing. Your impending graduation evokes from us nothing but praise and commendation for you, it should also awaken in each of us a feeling ofgratitude to those who have made it possible. This very School you have attended is not duplicated in many towns, most towns our size make no effort to carry education fur- ther than the ordinary day school. Our citizens have therefore shown an unusual interest in the young adult, who thirsts for more educationg our School Board has met this demand, our Principals and faculty have given of their best. They have put you in their debt. You owe them your thanks. Iwant you to turn back with me the hands of the clock, to go far back to the Middle Ages, and see the civilization of that day. Not a public school in Europe, no idea of sanitation, ninety percent of the people illiter- ate, men, women and children held in the grip of superstition, little travel, no adequate means of communication, cruelty and ignorance the order of the day, warfare on every hand. There was but one civilizing influence at work and that the Church. This whole age owes a debt to the Church of the past, a debt for hospitals, and schools, and colleges. There is not any- where in the world a school of any age which was founded by any other agency but the Church. Every work of mercy, every beginning of art, every origin of drarnatics, every seed of education, in the first place was an ex- pression of religion, a faith in the worthwhileness of man, a dedication of THE OWL CLASS OF 1935 self to do the will of God. The spirit of God has guided us, has blessed us, has given us opportunities. Perhaps some other agency might have even- tually given us schools and hospitals, but the fact remains that it did not. Today with the State assuming very properly these functions, we are likely to lose sight of their origin. But the abundant life for which men strive, and which the State would like to provide for its citizens, has had its begin- ning in religion and cannot be fully realized without religious motivation. Jesus said I am come, that ye might have life, and that ye might have it more abundantly. This abundant life is life abounding in worthy interests, rich in var- iety, satisfying to soul, and mind, and body. More and more, the schools of our day are pointing in this direction. Physical health, muscular devel- opment, knowledge of games are being taught today for their recreational value as much as for their hearing upon our health. Music, and painting. and the arts are stressed not that we may become artists, but that we may appreciate the best and seek to possess it for ourselves. And yet all of this cultural development is lost, or worse, unless accompanying it there is found development of man's spiritual capacity. The School has its part to play here, so has the Home, so has the Church. A nation of clever people With- out good motives is a nation to terrify the world. A man or woman ever so cultured, conversant with the best in art, making a good living, but lack- ing a desire to be of use to someone else is a person immersed in self, yet cheating himself of the best in life. You know the story of the Prodigal Son, how he returned to his father, and was joyfully received, and how the fatted calf was killed. I heard an addition to that story lately, which has some value. The speaker went on to say: They killed the calf that day, and maybe they had some veal to last for the next day or two. But along about the third day the father went to his son about 6.00 a m. and said 'Now son, it's time to get up. We've got a lot of plowing to get done by noon.' This is for you a time of celebration, a day of rejoicing, a day for killing the fatted calf if you please, but the day of work is at hand, when each of us shall be expected to show forth what we have attained to. You may express your thanks by your words, and be most sincere. You may as some classes do, erect a t1blet,or donate a picture to bnr a brass plate reading, Gift of the Class of 1935 These things are done, but there is a better way, the way of life itself. What finer sensibilities you have devel- oped must be carried out into lite to make life cleaner and sweeter. What worthier social attitudes you have gained must be reflected in your contact with your family, your fellow-workers, your civic authorities. What higher standards of thought and conduct you have established must bear fruit in intellectual honesty, in economic self-support. When you do these things you justify your own efforts to gain learning, you justify the authorities who gave you the opportunity, you justify the faith that others have had in you, you justify the confidence that God has showed in man in leading him forth from ignorance and selfishness and barbarism to increasing know- ledge, to the service of his fellow man, to works of love and mercy.

They were seeking a place to make their home. As gypsies they traveled in bands but always kept them- selves closely related. Their forefathers had been driven from rich lands by Goths. One bright day the new ruler called the advisers of the tribes together to discuss the return to their forsaken homeland. Silence, shouted the new ruler. You all know it is over one hun- dred years since Boabdil, our worthy ruler, died. We must fight for our old land or we will be lost to the worldf' From the tongues of all the advisers came the same expression of ap- proval. It was time to revolt against the Goths who had driven them from their homes. Babsil, the strongest of his tribe, offered his services to command the attack. Being well trained in riding he could hit his target with the greatest of skill. He owned one of the finest horses in the land and was envied by other racers for his prize. Maibo, Darso, and Aasle were chosen to bring the news from Granada. Early in the morning, when the faint red rays of the sun swept across the plains, they set forth in that direction. Across- the great plains and in- to the mountains they sped. At night they rested their horses and slept. under blankets of many colors, patterned in many Moorish. prayers, which kept them warm. It was a great treat to think. their mission was to be a success. Darso, the leader of the three, inquired as to the name of the town, only to be dis- appointed to find that he had ridden many miles out of his way. Their destination was a two days' journey to the north. Malba and Aasle were- not discouraged but in high spirits to bring back good news. Since the sun was silently sinking in the west, the three riders took up their nights' lodging in a small dwelling near the gate that would be in the direction of their travel. The master of the house was very' kind to- them. Early in the morn- ing they arose, paid their kind friend and set out for Granada, or GA ll limmhmllmlmlwl TA E iowt CLASS OF i935 CLASS OF 1935 At last they saw the splendid city of their forefathers, covering the ground as the sand dunes cover the desert. Low buildings were laid out in irregular rows showing streets such as rivers cut on their way through the ravines. They got lodging at the largest inn so as to hear the gossip. Each night, under the dim light of their room, they related to each other that which had been learned. The three messengers remained in Granada for a full moon. Upon their return home they were greeted heartily and a great feast was prepared for them. Each messenger related his interesting findings to the delight of everbody. All hands worked hard to bring results to this great undertaking of the march to their forsaken land. They finally arrived at the city after much difficulty. The day had come for them to fight for the city of their yearnings. A last word of in- structions was given before their desperate attempt on the city. The tribes were separated and sent on their way to enter the city from all the gates. It was a great surprise to the Goths to find themselves sur- rounded by their enemy. The regular Goth soldiers had been badly beaten by a barbarous north- ern tribe and offered little resistance .to the Granacians. After days of joyous festivals, the heroes of the fights traveled to the Alhambra, which had at one time been a splendid, jeweled palace of the ruler. It was now a sorrowful sight to behold. When it had been in its splendor, it had had a stone carving over the gateway. This carving of massive size featured a hand reaching for a key. This was the symbol of life to the Granacians. Old legends predicted that when the hand would grasp the key, the people would return to their land to live in peace and plenty. This arch had fallen into ruin and the key crumbled together with the carving of the hand-the prophesy has been fulfilled. -Irwin F.

VVhen in the morning you arise, do you ever pause to think That the chain of hours ahead might be missing just one link To make the day a happy one? Perhaps that link is you, And if you'd smile throughout the day, you yvouldn't feel so blue. ETHEI. V. GROFF, June '35. THE OWL CLASS OF 1935 SUCCESS Success is not reached at a single bound, But We build the ladders by which we rise From lowly paths io a higher prize, For we mount to its summit round by round. YVe reach great heights by things beneath, By what we do, not what we receive, For only by doing can we achieve The will to vanquish failure and grief. lflach morning calls us to lifc, to light: VVith hope, aspirations and with trust WVe greet each day and say it must Bring success closer ere the night. But our hearts grow weary, sad, forlorn, The day holds naught but obstacles grim, The world at its best looks dark and dim, And ere the night our souls are tired and worn.

OO APOLOGIES TO MARY LEININGER NVhile walking thru the halls one night, I saw a very sorry sightg A senior who is known to all IVas seated at the end of the hall. I will, she said, a poem complete Before I leave this very seat. And so, she started with a lineg Indeed, thc first one sounded fine. Her patience, it could not be beat, And really, folks, you missed a. treat, For tho' the first line was just right, The second one was sure a fright. .Xn English teacher passing by, Head it and heared a great big sigh. She said, Dear Mary, try againg That second line is not quite sane. Mary gripped her pencil tighter, Her eyes with tears looked so much brighter. Ah yes, 'tis sad, but oh, so true, Poetic genius comes to few. Time marched on, and close to ten I chanccd to pass her chair again, The tears were gone from her beautiful eyes, .Xnd she fiaid to mc, Surprise! Surprise. A paper she thrust right into my hand. Read it, she said, 'tyou'll say it's grand. Into the Year Book it surely will go, For it has sentiment, that much I know. Now, folks, you surely will agree That patience won, so hear my plea-- NVhen you see Mary, be politeg Tell her her poem sounded right.

Of course it is understood everything that is said is spoken in fun al- though you all know many a true word has been spoken in jest. So ladies and gentlemen prepare for the Worst, but do not judge the members of our Class by this-as it may be worse. Imagine yourselves about 35 years hence as we travel on a tour of our famed city and its surrounding territory and learn of the t'ate of my former classmates. Time, June 3, 1970. I arrived last night and immediately went to my hotel, This morning I arise in anticipation of a day to be spent in visiting my former classmates. Being a little early for my breakfast, I pick up my morning paper -a copy of the Birdsboro Monopoly. It is Jack Koch's masterpiece of his journalistic powers. Jack has become quite a success in journalism and this paper is the result of his life's work. His average daily income is about one A.M. Also he takes a ten-mile hike each day to keep up the circulation. At present he is under the doctor's care who forbids him to drink water so as not to ruin his iron constitution. Jack has not changed with the exception of one thing-he now believes in love. He admits it for he is happily married to the former Miss Clara Freese. Yes well, it eventually gets them all. I finish my breakfast and begin my tour. Strolling down the Main Stem, I come upon a beautiful and Well-lighted furniture store. The win- dows are lavishly trimmed and decorated. This, I find, is the work of Stella Grenko. She has made quite a success of herself in the field of In- terior Decorating and is seriously thinking of going into business of her own. In gold letters on the front ofthe store I read the inscription The Komfy Furniture Kompany, Leo Orth, proprietor. I enter and exchange greetings with him. He is a portly gentleman, full of face which is wreathed in smiles. As I remember he always was smiling back in his High School days and he has never stopped. In his employment is Irwin Kenderdine as salesman and demonstrator. At present he is demonstrating the proper use at 11 P.M. of a nice com- fortable arm-chair, ably assisted by Helen Epler. Leo says lrwin is the best demonstrator to be found. Well, Irwin has certainly changed. Back in his High School days he was the most bashful member of the class. I continue my stroll, going south of Penn, and presently come upon a more sombre display. It is the Gallman Undertaking Establishment. CLASS OF 1935 THE OWL CLASS OF 1935 iw i Y O O Henry is enjoying a good business and is kept quite busy burying the fish left over at a nearby market. I observed a number of beautiful hand-carved caskets on display and learned they are the handiwork of J. Austin Harple. Austin has stuck to his trade of woodworking and from his 'finished products I judge he has be- come a first-class mechanic. I did not see him as he was out gathering the bark from stray dogs, in order that he might have better material with which to Work. I never realized We had so skilled a worker in our class as Austin displays. While walking down Cotton Street, I meet Ethel Groff as she is about to enter the Kem-out Kwick Dental Laboratories, Where she is employed as a dental assistant. Ethel informs me she has learned enough of the den- tal trade to go into business for herself. During her spare time she is work- ing on her hobby-an experiment to change snow into bath salts for summer bathing. I hope she succeeds for what this country needs is a good five cent bath-salt. I proceed on my way, strolling toward Penn Street, trying to guess where I might find more of' my former class-mates. Asl near Penn Street my at- tention is attracted by the sound of someone singing. Who could be sing- ing so loudly on Penn Street this early in the morning? It is none other than Elmer Wolfe. Elmer is going about as a one-man glee club under the name of the Canned Uproar Co. He sings shortstop, says he can pick up the grounders better. When he has no engagements, he dusts the pianos at Wittich's. Now my attention is drawn to a crowd before the Court House. I de- cide to investigate. A clear, sweet, feminine voice is filling the ether waves. I recognize the voice as that of Mary Hannahoe. Mary is making her debut as a radio announcer. But what is she saying? Ah, she is announcing the Flight of the Bumble Bee, Bob Harris' own creation of a non-drop, stop, or bump airplane. He is making his maiden flight. Just now Mary is announcing his take-off. The crowd looks up into the heavens, they applaud, they shout, and then they groan. Bob has made a non-stop flight from the roof to the street. The BumbleeBee will not Buzz again. Tired of walking, I hail a taxi and tell the driver to take me to the newer section of Reading. Presently I come upon a beautiful group of marble buildings. They are large and inspiring structures. In large Gothic let- ters I read this inscription, University of Reading. Well , I exclaim, at last Reading has a first-class higher institution of learning. I scan its proportions and conclude that it makes the Castle on the Hill look like the little red school house of long ago. I decide to enter and inspect the new addition to our fair city. Upon entering the office whom do I find therein but Helen Toboleski in charge. Not having seen her since our high school days we hold a rather lengthy conversation. It is then that I learn several more of my former classmates are members of the faculty. THE OWL CLASS OF 1935 ob g S Given the freedom of the buildings I stroll down one of the great cor- ridors and I see a lovely lady dressed in white with a broad smile upon her face. By her smile I recognize her as our ever-smiling Tillie Schnable. She is the nurse and dietitian of this great institution. We exchange greet- ings and later I continue my tour of inspection. Stepping before a door opening into a large auditorium I see George Zager standing before a class of music-loving students. He is demostrating the proper way to sing The Man on the Flying Trapeze to his students. George has become successful in obtaining his place among the faculty as Director of Music and Art. Among his students I recognize Martin Sencer who is studying so that eventually he may merge with Elmer Wolfe and in so doing give the public something spectacular in the line of music. Agnes Kramer is the head of the Commercial department. She is kept busy teaching the ins and outs of Bookkeeping, but she says her big- gest job is trying to take a trial balance of her husband, George Zager. She says it can't be done, but I know she has the ability to accomplish it. Coming to the chemistry laboratories I find Phyllis Richards doing a finejob as 'flaboratory technician. Phil is ably assisted by Jacob Zager, another gift from our class to the world of science. 'They have united their scientific minds to benefit the public and are now Working on an experiment of trying to graft milk-weed to an egg-plant and getting custards. Com- pleting my inspection of this wonderful institution, I go on my way, feeling satisfied in meeting so many of my classmates. A short distance down the street I find Russell Moyer standing before his general store. I decide to make a purchase so I enter. While inside an elderly lady enters and inquires where they sell Corsets. Straight back, replies Russell, to which the lady says quite forcibly, No, straight frontf' From Russell I learn that I can find Leonard Souders in his office on Walnut Street. I go there. Doctor Souders has a card in his window which reads. See me before you are older, or you won't see at all. But the lovely woman in Len's office has me dumb struck. Can it be his Wife? I find it is none other than Mary Leininger. Molly is his nurse and does she draw the trade. True to form Mary, who is Mrs. Al. Lord in ,private life, is the same quiet and dignified personality. From Leonard I also learn that Edna Troutman is the head office girl at Freihoferls Bakery. Well, she always wanted to be in the dough so here's hoping she can stay there. The day is drawing to a close and I turn my footsteps homeward. But it isn't long before I meet Hannah Stewart out buying the victuals for her family's supper. Hannah has chosen matrimony as her lifes work. During the course of our conversation nothing amazes me more than that John Stofko has entered the ministry. His golden rule to parishoners is not to do as he does but as he tells them. He says his prayers once a year-on New Yearls day. The rest of the year he says ditto. SVI llvl III-IE GWWL CLASS OF 1935 OO 0 While chatting with Hannah, I recognize Hans Weiser as he is re- turning from his day's labor. He tells me he is the chief mechanical engi- neer for the Textile Machine Works. I always was sure Hans would suceeed. From him I also learn that Hugo Junghenn is his assistant. As an addititional source of income they have gone into the meat-packing business, that of making sausages from evaporated sawdust, much to the disgust of the public. 1 He also told me of the sad case of Anthony Zaffiro and if you have tears to shed, prepare to shed them now. This is the way Anthony has it now. Forward the Light Brigade, Charge for the dishes, she says. And this is what Anthony says: Dishes to the right of me, Dishes to the left ot me, Dishes in front of me, Have to be washed. Upon learning of Anthony's fte I feel rather down hearted and decide I learned enough concerning my fellow class-mates for I am afraid I could not stand many more discoveries of this type. I again resume my homeward way when I come upon a wholesale 'pharmacy supply house. Helen Nicholson is the proprietor, being also the general manager, office force, saleslady, and delivery-clerk. It is now necessary that I hasten to my hotel and decide to do so but whom should I meet but Mildred Goeltz. She has quite a financial found- ation. It happens she lives over the Berks County Trust Company. Mill is chief bookkeeper for the U. O. Us Gas company. She says if the price of gas goes any higher a poor man w0n't be able to afford to commit suicide if he so desired. From her I also learn of more of my classmates. Marie Greth is keep- ing the home fires burning cheerily, even as she did while attending Even- ing High. Fred Ely is likewise continuing his pleasant cruise on the sea of matrimony upon which he embarked before joining our class. I hear he is a member of the Leesport Hose Co. No. 1, an able institution for darning socks. Exchanging our salutations I continue on my way to my hotel and she to her apartment. In order to be able to have dinner and pack my bag be- fore train time, for I am leaving tonight, I hailed a taxi. The driver pro- mised to drive me through the western section of Reading and still give me time to get ready. I acceded to his request, I find that Reading 'has cer- tainly grown. West Reading, Wyomissing, and West Lawn are now a part of Reading. The driver tells me the population is now well over 800,000 people. I was astounded to hear my home city had grown so large. Near- ing the end of my journey I spied a large white structure. I was informed that it was a hospital and that Wayne Reber was the doctor in charge. THE OWL O ' ' CLASS OF 1935 KS 0 - 0 I Was I dumfounded, weakly I told the driver to stop as I should like to go inside. Going to the desk I made known my identity and then asked for Wayne. They led me to his private office where I found him collecting notes for a scientific book he is going to write. During the course of our conversation, I learned that Frances Decbant has established a correspondence school. She gives suggestions and advice to the love-lorn. I remember quite well how many budding romances were salvaged by her instructions to those who found themselves involved. Her course is in ten parts with a written guarantee of money refunded if it is not successful. After this hectic day I determined that never again would I look up my classmates but would stay on my job-that of construction engineer of my own company. And now, ladies and gentlemen. this prophecy is concluded. I trust that you received it in the same spirit as it was given. Even though some of the members have become serious, and others have become more foolish, I can truthfully say that deep down in my heart, every member of this class will carry a loyalty and sincere love for Reading Evening High School. Walter B. Ruth, '35 June FAREWELL MATES Forget not your teachers And classmates who have helped you on the Road to success. Ever abide by the advice of your elders Who are striving to help you. Ever remember your motto true, Living is to learn and Learning is to live. Make Knowledge your Power And you will succeed in the climb To the top. Every step may be a struggle, but then SUCCESS is at the top. -Stella D, Grenko, '35 June 66 THE OWL CLASS OF 1935 ,A OO Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, County of Berks: We, the Senior class of Reading Evening High School, being of un- sound mind and faltering memory, do hereby set forth in writing our last will and testament. Considering courtesies and advice to us from our able principal we give our mistakes and accomplishments to aid him in the future.

To the habituous late comers we leave the Daylight Saving Time to make them realize they are one hour early. To Mrs. Davis We leave the Juniors to ask those questions which are unanswerable as, Where's Mr. Gish? To the janitors we leave the heat generated in our class meetings to aid them in heating the school this coming winter. To Evans Keim the silence of Russell Moyer. To Miriam Knoll the ability of Jack Koch to conduct class meetings. To Fred Ulle the curly hair of Anthony Zaffiro. To John Boone the job as Editor of The Owl from Wayne F. Reber. To Margaret Harp the talking ability of Frances Dechant. To Rosemary Smith the ability to wear clothes as Edna Mae Troutman. To John Boone a butterfly net from Henry Gallman. To Edythe Wartschlager the ability to evade practical jokes from Til- lie Schnabel. To Evans Keim the looks of Walter Ruth. To Dorothy Zuber the disposition of Mary Hannahoe. To the Junior Class we leave the responsibility of carrying out these, our last wishes. Sworn to this fourth day of June, one thousand, nine hundred and thirty-live. -Class of 1935 me own.

Mr. Dee, as he is affectionately called, boasts that he accepts them at any stage-that is, a greenhorn with aspirations or the skilled drawer with inspiration. Sex is no bar. Some, he says, pursue it as a source of pleasure, while others follow it with an eye to commercial recompense in the future. Some of the types of work produced in the class are single lettering, show card instruction, oil and water paintings, and charcoal drawings. A well balanced course of art instruction is offered to the student if he so desires to follow a general art course of study. 70 Sw S' S it E-FQEFQL CLASS OF I935 oi o COOKING CLASS Umm-mm-mm, what's thatl smell?,' This may be heard each night by anyone who gets on the third fioor of the school. It is nothing but the cooking classes in room 317 preparing some tasty and nutritious dishes. Along with the actual preparation of new and fancy dishes the students are taught the nutritive value contained in them. A helpful and exceedingly useful addition to the course is instruction on the proper Way to set a table for the different social functions of the home. Due to the large registration for this course there were three classes, each composed of different students who met but one night a Week. These classes are under the capable supervision of Miss Holland and Miss Wolfe. -- V - . - .,- .,., .c ,.,,, e ,n,..,e..,-. , . ,.....-.ll4-. THE OWL b 9 , W. , n 0 0 CLASS OF 1935 ELECTRIC SHOP The Electric shop, under the direction of Mr. J. Herbert Kissinger, has a group of energetic Workers for its student body. The electrical depart- ment proper uses as projects anything from rebuilding of old motors to the repairing of electrical appliances, and is under direction of Mr. Ralph A. McLaughlin. Electricians who are peers in their work, come here for fur- ther instructions. The radio course which is offered apart from the electric course is under the personal supervision of Mr. Kissinger. It is here that radio sets are con- structed, old ones rebuilt, and the basic principles of sending and receiving taught. The sending station of the school has been rebuilt recently. It has for its call letters W3AIC, and has a power of 150 Watts. THE OWL CLASS OF 1935 0 0 e MACHINE SHOP Walking into a modern mill and walking into the machine shop are similiar sensations, for both places reflect the dlue glare of the welding torch and the scraping sound of a lathe. Very expensive machinery has been installed to aid in the elimination of long apprenticeships in this line. However, many skilled mechanics can be seen working silently at some project. Mr. George Hadley, the instructor, is thoroughly capable of coping with any of the problems that may arise inthe student's mind. Some of the articles turned out include gun parts, tools, jig-saws, parts of motors, and drill presses. The Welding department is under the supervision of Mr. Frank Bott. Three years of night work are equal to two years of apprenticeship. THE' own. i M O0 ol CLASS OF I935 In , MECHANICAL DRAWING Under the capable direction of Mr. Franklin V. Gill. students are taught the art of Mechanical Drawing. There are three distinct phases of Work offered in this course. The first covers practical instruction in blue-print reading, the second consists of the drawing of the blue-prints themselves, and the third includes archi- tectural drawing. The unique feature of this course is that very little education is needed as all the mathematics and other technicalities are injected with the course of the student's progress. A C. C. C. member completed drawings for an entire group of farm buildings which he plans to construct when he is discharged from the corps. Many individuals Working on inventions take advantage of this course to set down their ideas on paper. 74 THE OWL CLASS OF 1935 o o A WOOD WORKING In the Pattern-making shop students are instructed in the advanced stages of woodworking. Articles of furniture such as cedar chests, end tables, linen closets, cabinets, and lamps of all sizes and purposes are con- structed here. Mr. W. Arthur Stephenson is the instructor and the beauty and strength ofthe articles constructed attests to the skill which the students acquire from his excellent instruction. The materials which a student uses in the construction of his article he buys at cost from the school. The cost of wood is so relatively low to the value of his finished product that it is considered as being given away, while the knowledge and the skill acquired in the construction of the article balances the cost of the wood. THE OWL 75 ' CLASS OF l935 o o O .. CARPENTERIN G The Woodshop is the shop which the beginner in Wood-craft should at tend. Here he is taught the rudiments of carpentering. Simple articles of- all sizes and description are constructed. Members of both sexes are found here for the class can be found use- ful to women as Well as men. Two women, a mother and daughter, are reg- ular attendants to the class and are studying so that some day they may fulfill their fondest hope, that of building their own bedroom suite. Mr. Kenneth Conley, the instructor, renders assistance and advice to both amateur and professional. ' There is no longer any excuse for the handy man or even the unhandy man with an evening or two a week to spare, not to have those odds and ends of furniture which make a house a home. 76 THE OWL CLASS OF mas O O -v 1 SEWING CLASS I Since the art of sewing requires the knowledge of many intricate stitches there are two classes. Sewing I is for the beginner who has never learned the fundamentals. ' It is in this class the student learns the proper way to make a simple stitch, and by sewing she learns to baste, to hem articles of different kinds, and the proper use of these several stitches. Miss Alice Maurer, the instructress, expertly prepares each student for the advanced class. As a great deal of time is consumed in the study of fundamentals and in the explanation and exposition of every stitch learned, there is time only for small articles to be made. These include the hemming of table covers, table doiles, and other simple articles. iii-5M.4 +iW M A i 'i M Q1 CLASS OF 1935 O 0 as I SEWING CLASS II Sewing II is the class to which all students who have had previous training in sewing should go. The students in this class are able to use a machine and the separate attachments which can be used on it. Miss Mary E. Krick and Miss Kathryn E. Plotts are the two instructors of this class. The quality of the work done is of the highest type and attests to the capabilities of the teachers. Some of the finished articles include party and house dresses, suits, pillow bolsters, bed covers, and ladies' underwear. This class is so popular and the registration so large that the class is divided. While' one group is sewing on the machines the other group is stitching at the tables and Vice versa. 78 THE OWL CLASS OF 1935 time ,H r- rrrr or ,r m 0 o J OURNALISM Because of hard work on the part of Mr. Gish, the students of Evening High School have benefited by the institution of a new course into their school's curriculum. This course is the study of Jounalism. Mr. Earl A. Master, the instructor, is capably fitted for this difficult subject. Not only has he made the course interesting but also profitable. A paper of Evening High activities was established which was favor- ably received by the Evening High students. Also a handbook was com- piled for the Evening High student body. While both these were edited by members of the Journalistic class, Mr. Master was a capable director and counsellor. This course should be the most popular in the curriculum once the stu- dents realize its practical value. THE owl. 7Q CLASS OF 1935 0 0 H is , r , ,,-,Mme ispu r,rWi,r,r NURSING The nursing course as offered in the Evening High School is a pre- scribed course as outlined by the American Red Cross. ' There is no specialization in any phase of nursing but is a general study of home hygiene and care of the sick. It enables the students to give simple treatments safely, to know when the services of a doctor are need- ed, and to care for and train children of various ages. It also teaches im- portant facts about the prevention of disease. A certificate of award is given at the close of the year to students who have passed a satisfactory examination. This course is especially helpful for wives and mothers who are gener- ally the nurse in the home. Miss Lottie Hagy is the teacher. 80 THE OWL CLASS OF 1935 fl OO LIBRARY Every Monday and Thursday evening, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the library of the school is open for use of the Evening High Students. Twelve thousand books of every conceiveable subject, fifty-four current magazines, and three daily newspapers may be found here, while Miss Maggie Mae Rawls, the librarian, will cheerfully and efficiently assist all those who desire her to do so. A i With so great a variety of books a student should be able to do all the reference work required by his teachers. An interesting sidelight on the library is that an estimated ninety-five percent of our students make use of it. For this reason, the greatest length of time allowed on any one book is two weeks and no renewal privileges given. THE owl. im 4 WMM H CLASS OF I935 o o BASKETBALL TEAM Evening High was represented in basketball by a winning team. They garnered four Wins against three losses which represents an average better than .500. They were a member of the Varsity League and they played Friday night. This is a very creditable showing as they had little time to practice and get the plays working. The members of the team wereg forwards, Westley, Krebs, guards, Captain Harris, Brophy, Weber, Harbachg centers, Kreska, Marks, and Frantz. The team was coached by Bill Bannon, a member of the Evening High faculty, who cannot be excelled in the teaching of this sport. The student manager was William Boyer. Let's keep this sport flourishing at Evening High and thereby bring our school to the fore. 82 THE OWL CLASS OF I935 fx OO . Senior Sept. 10-Registration. .September 11-Registration.
