It was our first year of high school, and it was to be spent in a beautiful new building. That first day, when most of us saw the new Reading High School for the first time, was clear and cold. The school rose over the horizon like a majestic wonder. 4 hat first day was really a tumult. But it didn ' t take long for us to get used to the huge building and change classes without consulting our maps. As the year progressed, we made many close friends from Reading, who accepted us graciously. I he teachers were kind, also. Still, it was hard to feel that we belonged there. Our Freshman Frolic was a great success and enjoyed by everyone who attended. Before we knew it, it was June and we were off on our summer vacation. T n September, we returned to all our old friends and added many new ones to our lists. e were really getting up in the world now ! We were ‘‘big sophomores.’ ' Many of us took part in clubs, sports, and other extra-curricular activities. Soon we were planning for our Sophomore Hop. This was a big event for us and took a lot of planning. Although the students and the teachers were very friendly, we were rather more homesick the next year. At first we felt we were at last ' on our own, hut our feeling of independence did not last. We wanted our own school in our own town among our own friends. But, Alas ! What were we to do ? Soon our junior year was here. We knew there was a lot of work coming, so we decided to get ourselves used to it. But we did more than work ; we had our share of fun. Football games were always ex- citing; and, of course, we supported Reading all the way. Even when we lost, we were happy, happy just to be alive and part of the school scene. It wasn ' t long before we started preparing for our Junior Prom. This was our first format dance. I lie decorations consisted of hundreds of yellow paper flowers. In the center of the floor stood a cute little wishing well. The walls were decorated with huge Easter bunnies. Coke and cookies were served. After the dance, we went out to eat some more. It was a great dance! Finally that long awaited year was a reality. We were seniors ! But of what school ? There had been much controversy about this for over two years: but. at last, a decision was reached. We were coming home to the beautiful new North Reading High School. That first day. September 16. 1957. was a memorable one. We all flocked to get in, to see the school and to meet our teach- ers. Right now. we are extremely proud of our school and our faculty, who have done everything possible to make us ' feel at home. Their hospitality has given us a feeling of being accepted into the family circle But this year, too, became the hardest one of all. (letting used to the school and the faculty was hard enough, but trying to achieve our many de- sires was worse. We had to start athletic teams (for which we ' d like to give the hoys on the foot- ball team credit ). our class play, plans for dances, the class calendar, the choosing of a school ring, and. most important of all. our yearbook. Here was a lot of work, but not one of us would have it any other way. All this work was hacked by enjoyment. We have ccme a long way since that Septem- ber of 1954. But now we are home, wdiere we belong, in North Reading. Class Historian.

Md Here We Are Jn ft.K. 26 Our Zimes Friday, June 13, 1975 Today Marks Tenth Anniversary of First Trip to Moon. THE ROVING REPORTER The other day when 1 was catching a bus home from work. 1 ran into the nationally famous guide of the L nited States, Ruth Cronje. You remember, si le was the girl who misguided the Prime Minister of M’oody- ville to the Everglades. He was on his way to Slachington. I hid her good-bye and hopped on the bus. 1 grabbed a seat only to he sitting next to New England’s famous chef, John Coakley. He was reading the unabridged book. Mow to Cook W ith Sher- ry. The Inis came to my stop, and I hopped off. 1 still had to walk one mile. It was a brisk day, so I turned up my collar and proceeded to walk. Let me tell you : no sooner had I walked ten steps than a fellow walked up to me selling walky talkies. I recognized him as Richard Bartku. He gave me a salestalk, and I bought a dozen. I figured I could use them when I play Santa this year. I speeded up my pace, and soon I was on the corner of my street. A well-dressed girl was standing there. She had a desperate look on her face. 1 walked over to her and asked if I might help. She said her name was Carol Mildred and that she was lost and looking for a policeman. Just then, Carol Cram, our woman police chief, happened along. I gave her a whistle, and she joined us. It seems that the two girls were long lost friends and pro- ceeded, as women do, to catch up on the news. I made a hasty exit. I arrived home and seated myself in my favorite chair and took out my pipe. Thinking hack over this day, I came to the conclusion that People are 1 ' unny.” A gala celebration is being held in North Reading all this week in commemoration of the tenth anniversary of that his- toric flight to the moon. A dec- ade ago at 9:56 A.M. on June 10 the great event took place. Let us review the scene of this event. As the famous missile (named after the greatest foot- ball team of all time, the Green PJornets), was ready to he launched from North Read- ing’s Scientific Plant, the exub- erant Bob Tropea, father of this projectile: and Norman Woods, head engineer ; looked on. Bob is accredited with coming up with the original idea ; and so it was that he and his eyelashes became famous. Norman’s ex- tensive study and “knowhow’’ have made him the only one capable of constructing this ab- stract idea of Bob’s. Gail Kenney sat nervously it the controls. Incidentally, she was the only one interested and well enough trained for such an interplanetary job. ( )f course, the two financiers. Kenny Eisenhaure and Andy Ricardo, who reside in the “Beverly Mills’’ of North Read- ing. were on hand for the event. Kenny, as we all know, made his millions by working as a live model for the Ricardo Mat- tress Co., Inc. Last, but not least, we can’t forget Bob Stracuzzi, the out- standing mechanic on this flight. His new idea of fasten- ing the nut and bolt revolution- ized mechanistry. C)nl} ' a few of the thousands of applicants for this first flight were chosen to he passengers. Among these were Joann Ives- ter, who had been chosen Miss l n i verse of 1965, and Jack Creilson because of his great campaign that won Joann the title. Also Jack wished to re- turn and spread the knowledge to the world about his outer- stratospheric adventures. The passengers were attend- ed bv a very capable stewardess, Sharon I ' owler. Her capability is due to her ten years of ex- tensive study with the reward of a doctor’s degree in steward- ship. The great feat which was more successful than most “firsts’’ opened the way for space travel, which is so com- mon todav. 27 ARMCHAIR TRAVELS Oh, if I could travel, I’d go to some of the places that have been seen by some of North Reading’s residents. My means of travel would he interesting. For instance, I might waterski (jet propelled, of course). Why, you will recall that Bill Brennan, on his round the world trip, found this means not only relaxing, but quick and wet. His comment on this trip was ‘‘A great sport for ducks! If you plan to travel to Rus- sia in the next few years, Sandy Blanchard, who is a missionary, would he glad to give you a guided tour. BUT . . . make sure you come on a Friday her onlv day out of Concentration Damp. Bettiann MacLeod has just returned from seeing Hawaii through a porthole. How did she do it? By joining the Navy, of course ! “Around the World in Three Days is the song Carol W edge is singing. She is going in a twenty-horse power blimp and plans to meet some of those “continental men.’’ When you journey to Africa, be sure to stop and see Dick alsh. You can recognize him by his dimpled knees which show from beneath his white Bermudas. Oh, by the way, he’s in the Foreign Legion. If you get as far as India on your world wide tour, he sure to stop and see Robert Cook and his harem at the Taj Lahal, which he built in memory of his favorite wife. It just came over the Fire- less that a tycoon came up in the Atlantic and swept Janet Landis right off her Bermuda bound surfboard. Because of this incident, Janet and J. J. B. will he delayed for the import- ant international meeting of Connecticut Vacationers. HOSPITAL WARD WORRIES Glenda McKeague is one of the best private nurses in the business. She has r e m e d i e d many a patient with her witch doctor kit. She acquired this skill from her colleagues, “The Body Snatchers. Bring vour child to our clinic. Donna Warnock is the chief of staff, and she has had years of experience with children, be- cause she was brought up in a large family. EMILY MOST’S HINTS FOR MORE LUXURIOUS LIVING The restaurant of the year Anderson ' s Green Coach Inn. was chosen because of its newly developed way to process edi- ble seaweed. David has had such great success ; of course, credit is due to his exceptional crew. H is head cook for whom he searched for ten years is Phyllis Palino, a specialist in the field. She learned from the experienced h a n cl of her mother-in-law. The new way of processing dishes to get them clean was developed by head dishwasher, Marv Ann Bat- tista. Mary holds the champion- ship for not breaking dishes in her career, seventeen years. Ladies, do you still have the same problem with that unman- ageable mop as you had when you graduated from high school ? Well, your problems can be solved at Fisher’s Beauty Saloon. Pat has made famous the Yul Grimier hair cut for girls, and this is the proved method for all hair problems. HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES Among the many celebrities at the premiere, last night, of Return of the Farmer” were our well-known Will Rogers, Dick McDonald, and Bob Has- singer. Will, because of his attained love for history, is perfect for the leading role of a country farmer ' , in this movie. In the end he becomes a famous Rev- olutionary leader. Also. Dick McDonald was seen with Tallulah Forehead at the premiere. They are current- ly appearing in the movie. Hot Foot. where an American in Alaska meets an enchanting Eskimo. I saw the producer-director. Bob Hassinger, having a dis- cussion with the movie critic, 1 ’at Green, about her write-up of Hot hoot. After seeing the movie, she thought it should be entitled “Cold Feet.” RICHARD SMILEY — HOUSE PAINTER I paint only striped houses ! MALCOLM SPEAR’S PLUMBING HEATING Prompt service for floods ! MURPHY’S CLOCK SHOP Margie Turns Back Time DAVE SLADE — BARBER Special — $4.00 for an APACHE HAIRCUT NANCY WOODS’ DANCING SCHOOL FOR DOGS Have your dog learn the MAMBO, CHA-CHA, TANGO and RHUMBA 28 Sports Extra TROPHIES AWARDED The national Truck Drivers ' Asssociation convened in sunny North Reading recently. An award was given to Jackie Van Lathem for her travel from the Appalachians to the Rockies. She had complete control over the mules at all times ; thus she evaded all accidents. Anpther winner was Mary Conley, first w o m a n to reach the top of Alt. Everest by truck. Because of snow storms, she slid back many times hut never gave up. OEEICE WORKERS ' CONVENTION Recently in North Reading, the Office Workers’ of America had their annual convention at the corner. Alice Cassely, who was chosen because of her abili- ty to lead (cheers), called the meeting to order. Her right hand ‘‘gal ' ' was Barbara Sing- er, secretary of the convention. Alice introduced two mem- bers of the O. W. A. who have received national recognition. One was our own Diane Ro- berts. She is known by all the the dignitaries as the Presi- dent’s personal typewriter. The other is Layne McMc- nainin, the champion stenoty- pist of the world. She not only keeps her fingers busy hut her toes, also. After working hours she rollerskates. Connie Warren was awarded a gold-plated h r u s h. because she was the girl who was most successful at cleaning type- writers. East hut not least, Donny Thompson was chosen as the “Employer of the Year , be- cause he had the knee that bounced these girls to success. TONI LEBLANC Painless T ree Surgeoness Specialty : Heartbroken Trees BASEBALL T h i s Year ' s Transoceanic Series. At the Transoceanic Series this year, the tall, husky guv in a blue suit, with the face mask and body protectors that stood behind home plate was our own Jim Spence. If you remember, Jim got in a fight with Fred Williams and a fan beaned him with a soda bottle. GOLF World Championship It wasn’t Ben Logan who won the world Championship for those who TRY to play golf this year. It was a girl we all know, Ellen Killeen. She won by using one club only, a putter. ( )nly Ellen could do it ! HORSE RACING Hurchill Downs If it ' s horse racing, it ' s strict- ly on the level ; ask Louise Proctor. She ' ll vouch for it. She is a famous figure around Hur- chill Downs and has been since her graduation from second grade. She owns a string of work horses. PRO HOCKEY .Madison, Round Garden The fellow who played in Madison Round Garden and helped bring his team to victory on his two runner skates, was Warren Dalton. How he did it w-as and still is a mystery. We think he used a square puck. BASKETBALL “Scofftrotters vs. Keltics” Remember that spine tingling game of December, 74? Who do you suppose made the basket that gained the last two po : nts to decide the win in favor of the B a r 1 e m Scofftrotters ?” None other than our own 5 ’3 Bobby Lane! He is considered a pro in his field. . . . basketball, that is. Showing great sportmanship on the Keltics’ side was Gary Mytych, who scored fifty-two of the fifty-two- baskets shot. Is this unusual???? MOTORCYCLISTS Did you see those black suede toreadors and motorcycle boots ? They belong to Joyce Balcomb. Her foe, dressed in pink denim trousers and drag shoes, is none other than Mary Lou Post. They are nationally known for their skill in motor cycling and lecturing on “speed kills.” PROPHECIES WRITTEN CHEAPLY This is a sample Louise Proctor, Chm.

The N.H.S. members at work Tlie National Honor Society, founded in 1921 by the National Association of Secondary School Principals, who direct its activities and policies, now has chapters, numbering about 7,000, in every state and all the terri- tories and possessions of the United States. Its aims are to stimulate high scholarship, constructive leader- ship, purposeful service to the school and community, and strong, worthy character. The N. H. S. has pre- sented scholarships, awards, and certificates to outstand- ing students to encourage them to continue their educa- tion. Too, a N. H. S. member is a preferred candidate for college acceptance. Furthermore, the society is not commercialized, for there are no dues or assessments for its members. To become a member of the society one must have an 87 per cent average and qualities of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The four girls of this year ' s senior class, Sharon Fowler, Joann Ivester, Louise Proctor and Ruth Cronje, were taken into the society last year through Reading’s Chapter by vote of the faculty members. A chapter of this society will be formed by this group in North Reading this year. 36 First Ron ' , Left to Right — Antoinette LeBlanc, Sandra Blanchard, Ruth Cronje, Janet Landis, Ellen Killeen.

Such Zhings Happen Such Things Happen, a comedy-mystery in three acts, directed by Mrs. Stephanie Delaney and Mr. Ralph LoPilato, was presented in the Daniel H. Shay auditorium of the North Reading High School by the graduat- ing class of 1958. Excitement ran high as the audience was treated to expert police sleuthing, amateur detecting, dope peddling, match making, killings — all in the course of the two hours ' performance.

Student Council The purpose of the North Reading High School Stu- dent Council is (1) to represent tne student body in social and-or academic affairs, ( 2 ) to discuss and act upon problems which may be pertinent to school affairs, and (3) to provide training in self-government for N.R.H.S. students. The Student Council is made up of the presidents of the four classes, one pupil elected from each homeroom, tlie current sports captains, the president of the Na- tional Honor Society and the editor-in-chief of the yearbook. The officers of the Council elected from the member- ship are as follows : a president, the senior class presi- dent ; a vice-president and a secretary-treasurer; John Creilson, president ; Richard Hoyt, vice-president : and Joann Ivester, secretary-treasurer. The adviser is Mrs. Mildred Barmby. The Council has supervision over all social activities pertaining to the school, but the principal has the right to veto any act of the Council if it is unwise. The first meeting of the Student Council was held on November 13, 1957. Since then, it has sponsored vari- ous activities : the sale of bookcovers, supervision of home basketball games, organization of the teacher-student basketball game on February 28, 1958, raising funds for a scoreboard for our new gym; the control over certain problems pertaining to the student body, interesting as- semblies, and other adminstrative duties.

Each game found a large cheering section present to give moral support to our hoys. The 8-0 victory, over a highly favored Ayer eleven on enemy ground, proved to be a “special victory, for this was N.R. High’s first football game. With very little football experience, the valiant efforts of the Hornets gave us an exciting and memorable season.

Zke Cheerleaders Who are those girls who kept jumping around the football field and basketball court? They are our North Reading cheer- leaders, of course. Their songs and cheers have pepped up the fans and have kept the boys going when the road was rough. The cheerleaders were led by Gail Kenney, a senior; and Paula Blanchard, a junior. The others on the squad were Alice Cassely, Pat Fisher, Phyllis Brennan, Lorraine Long, Judy Leigh- ton, Sandra Foster, and “Meri” Haselton. The girls were coach- ed first bv Miss Florence and then by Miss Johnson. Kelly-green jumpers with gold underskirts are the costumes designed and made by the girls themselves and compliment the green and gold uniforms worn by the team members. Gold sweat- ers and green megaphones complete the cheerleaders’ outfits. The success of the “Stardust Whirl,” the first annual Cheer- leaders ' Dance, as well as the first social event of N.R.H.S. was realized only through the co-operation and hard work of our nine cheerleaders. Zke Baton Squad In Review ! The Baton Squad with their blue and white uniforms have added to the enjoy- ment of the football games this year. The squad has four leaders, one from each of the high school grades. Jackie VanLeathem, a senior, heads the squad in a white uni- form with blue braid. Becky Bryant, a junior; and Janice Cooke, a sophomore; are also dressed in white. Jeanne Cronje is the freshman leader. The Baton Squad practices three times a week to perfect routines and drill with Mr. Andrew (Chuckie) MacLeod, the squad’s drillmaste r. Little four-year old Bobby VanLaethem has been the mascot and always receives a big hand of applause from the crowds at the games and at the parades in which the squad participates. The “Great Eight,” a drum corps under the direction of Mr. Robert VanLaetham, made its first appearance at the Wilmington game on November 11. The boys’ uniforms were provided by the Mothers’ Club, who also provided those worn by the girls. Shortly after the football season ended, the basketball season began. With only one day of practice behind them, the Hornets won their first game against Hamilton. The evenly contested game ended with the score- board reading 56-55. The Hornets maintained a good score throughout the season, and provided lots of excitement for the X.R. spectators. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Arthur Barresi as varsity coach and Mr. William Driscoll as junior-varsity coach, the teams enjoyed a memorable season.

So many- freshman girls tried out, since this was their first sports participation, that the whole junior varsity team was made up of fresh- men, only three of whom were experienced players. Ruth Hoyt, one of the latter, was chosen captain. The varsity, composed of sophomores, juniors, and only two seniors, practiced after school four nights a week under the direction of Miss Evelyn Florence, coach; and Miss Eileen Connors, manager. The chief rivalry was sparked by the North Read- ing-Reading contest on January 28, 1958. North Reading won by the overwhelming score of 46 to 18 — the first home game of the ' 58 season. As the yearbook goes to press, the team has played three out of seven games, with two wins. On the practice court Dotty shoots one.
