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 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

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 teachers who so nobly gave their time and who accepted head- aches in return, we leave the hope of never having such a class who knew so little and did so much other Work in class. 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.
