Dr. Iiee M. lirilman, Pastor of St. 'l'homas Reformed Church, in the Senior High School Auditorium, on Sunday, June 10, 1928, at 3 P. M. II. Timothy 1:6-7vYVherefore I put thee in remelnhranee that thou stir up the gift of God. which is in thee ..... For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, hut of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. The great apostle is writing a letter of admonition and encouragement to his young helper who is just beginning his independent work in the ministry. He is exhorting, urging out, as the word literally means, the best gifts and talents possessed by the youth. Of some of these Timothy was quite unconscious, others he undervalued, and, lest he hide his candle under a bushel, Paul makes this mov- ing appeal to quicken his memory of benefits received from parents and friends and to deepen his appreciation of the manifold privileges and consequent obliga- tions of the Christian life. And now, as you of the graduating Class of June IQ28 are about to leave this school, some of you to pursue your studies elsewhere, some to take a place in the work of the world, it is appropriate that the religious signilicance of this moment in your lives should be emphasized. lt is indeed of tremendous and decisive importance in the building of character and in making worth-while and enduring contributions to life that the essentially religious nature of life and its spiritual values be recog- nized. VVithou.t this higher view of life we can do many things, but we cannot accomplish the highestg we can have many things, but we cannot enjoy the best. XVherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God which is in thee, that you fan into Hame the divine spark that each one of you may be a burning and a shining light. Lest we forget is an ever present danger. It is well, therefore, that we should remind ourselves of the extent to which we are indebted to others and to what a large extent we are benehciaries of the past. Others have sown and we have reaped. Others have labored and we have entered into the fruit of their labor. Parents and loved ones have guided and counseled, and many of them have sacrihced a great deal that you might have the benefits of a high school education. Their fond hopes and prayers go out in your behalf today. I trust that it is not necessary for me to put you in remembrance of this or to try to estimate to what extent you are indebted to them. There are some things which cannot be calculated or measured. Can you with a formula indicate what the perfume of the rose suggests? Can you with heavy words convey even a small portion of the thoughts that flood your soul as you listen to a Bach choral? So little can you as yet know or speak of a father's and a mother's love, but still you can be grateful and remember that thus far their love has brought you on your way. And so I would likewise ask you to remember to what great extent you are indebted to the State and to this community for the privileges you have received here. No country of the world provides so generously for its public school sys- tem as ours does. Nowhere in the world can you find so large a proportion of the youth of the land enjoying the benehts of higher education as you find here. And let me remind you that few cities of our State can point to the number of imposing, modern junior and senior high schools such as our city has erected in recent years. Yes, this place where we are meeting now is in itself a city set on a hill which cannot be hid and which was provided for your by others. And, should you continue your studies and prepare to enter any of the learned profes- sions, you would again find that you were becoming more indebted to others, just THE ARXALMA 69 IIIIII IIII Illlll II l lilllll IIIIIIII ll llllllllll IIIIIIIIII I IIIIIIIIlIIIIIllIIllIIIIIllIIIIIlIIllIIllIllIliIIllIIllIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII llllllllllllll Illllllll III IIIIIIIII lllllll I llllll Illlllllllllli in proportion as you enter into the intellectual inheritance of the race and share in the contributions of the brilliant minds of all time. But go a step farther and follow the streams of blessing that have refreshed our lives, and you will come, if you think reverently and soberly, to the fountain source of all our being to the Father of Lights from whom cometh down every good and perfect gift, our God, and Father, of infinite righteousness, truth and love. I-Ie has used various instrumentalities to quicken and enrich our lives, church and state and its many institutions, books and teachers, pastors, friends and kindred, how utterly impossible to catalogue all that we have received and to even be conscious of all through whom we have been recipients. And yet it is most important that, as Paul expresses it, that we be put in remembrance, that with a deep sense of gratitude and obligations we receive, as coming from God, the inestimable advantages of education. But the glow of sentiment and emotion, as we feel it so richly in the golden days of youth, especially at commencement time, should serve as a permanent stimulus to high thinking and noble living. Otherwise sentiment becomes merely sentimentality, a pleasing glow of feeling which is an end in itself and not related to character and deed.Remembrance of benefits received must serve to stir up the gift of God that is in thee, for God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness, but of power and love and discipline. And here Paul indicates a profound truth, namely, that the failure to use our gifts is due to fear, and, on the other hand, the right use of our gifts, transforming them into the highest forms of power, involves courage of the finest kind. In the parable of the talents, the one-talent man is paralyzed with fear. He is frightened by the demands of his master, and he says, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter, and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth. Fear is essentially unbelief, doubt concerning the worth and power of good- ness. Such doubts indeed are traitors. But how they haunt the minds of men and halt us in our onward march. There is the fear of men, their opinions and conventions which make us afraid to be our best selves, the fear of life, the risks and dangers that attend those who open new paths and show us new vistas. There are those who are afraid of that which is high. There is the fear of the unknown, the fear of tomorrow, the fear of life and the fear of death. But youth is by nature generous, idealistic and venturesome. Is it necessary. some one may say, that we speak of these things? There is always the danger that the fine enthusiasms of youth may be chilled by the first rebuffs of life. high resolves may settle down to very low levels through contacts with ways that bring quick but not permanent advancement. Fear of the difficult way, the way of patient apprenticeship and difficult toil in oneis appointed work drives manv to the easiest way, the way of make-believe, of pretense and fraud. And, again, the direct pursuit of a life of pleasure soon robs life of its finer ideals and ma- terialistic motives and thoughts of self-indulgence become uppermost. Here is the sad retreat from life, the flight from reality and the burying of the talent. This attitude is frequently accompanied by cynicism, the practice of scoffing at goodness and disinterested loving service. The cynic pretends to believe that there is no reality save self-interest. He is endeavoring to mask his own cowardice by attacking genuineness of the motives of the generous and the benevolent. The one steps aside from the dusty way of life and regards his fellowmen with dis- dain and scorn, the other marches with them, cheers them on their way and helps them bear their burdens. The one has retreated, not daring the higher ventures, the other advances supported by a moral heroism of which the cynic knows nothing. 70 THE ARXALMA IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIII llllll llllll Illllll I Illlllllll II IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllll III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ll II I IIII I ll At the heart of all great and enduring achievement lies faith-faith that works through love and a sound mind. Gocl has revealed to us the object of that faith and the nature of the love wherewith He has loved us. As we believe in the power of His redemptive love and the reality of His presence, there is be- gotten in our hearts not a spirit of fearfulness, but of power and love and of a sound mind. Let us make no mistake, spiritual power is the ultimate, the abidi ing,,the only real power. -Do not think of it as a mystical, other worldly, unwork- able ,thing which has no place in the practical world. No, on the other hand, let us remember, and never forget, that every other form of power which is not per- meated with the love of God and of our fellowmen is only the shadow, the illusion of power. VVithout it the brilliant writer becomes hard and cynical, unable to penetrate to the heart of human nature and to interpret the deepest longings and noblest aspirations of mankind. XVherein he thinks that he is strong, he is in reality weak. Untouched by this higher power, the natural gifts of the military genius and the statesman betray him into the use of despotic forms, which, as all history teaches, are but the prelude of revolution. One may concentrate so in-- tently upon financial gain as to amass a great fortune at the cost of all else. He may part with his appreciation of the beautiful and true in literature, art and music, friendship becomes only a name, the cultivation of the sacred relations of the home and of those all-powerful infiuences upon our nearest and dearest becomes impossible. He has his reward. But love is of the stuff of life, without it it is weak, not strong. What doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and forfeit his lifef' If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of propecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And this higher power of love includes the discipline of a sound mind. VVith- out this the love of God may assume strange, fanatical and even cruel forms. There are many situations in life where it is not sufficient that we wish to do the good and loving deed, it is necessary that we know how it shall be done. As -lohn Erskine has Said, There is the moral obligation to be intelligentf, Science furnishes us with powers undreamed of a generation ago. How shall they be used, for good or ill? Shall science expend its energy in the manufacture of phosgene gas and the other instruments of chemical warfare so powerful that a single aviator can exterminate a whole countryside and make the horrors of the last war seem but as child's play beside that which may take place in a future war? Let science be the servant of love and good will, or rest assured she will set in motion powers that will destroy us. But let not religion disdain culture and science lest she be ineffective. To you of the coming generation, who have had many educational advantages which your fathers and mothers did not possess, comes the call of the new day and the pressing demands for the use of the highest form of power to meet the problems of the new age. Cherish the vision splendid of your youthful ideals. Stir up the gift of God that is in thee. Clear-eyed and unafraid lay hold on the power of the Most High, and passing years will bring you the exceedingly great reward of peace and joy and the consciousness of lives made better by your presence. Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made: Our times are in His hand Who saith, A whole I planned, Youth shows but half, trust God: see all, nor be afraid.

Through three long years we have striven to reach the fulfilment of our de- sires--graduation. Tonight we stand on the threshold of attainment. XVe shall rejoice, and, in so doing, shall strive to make you rejoice with us. Tomorrow we shall reach the long-sought goal-Commencement. Then is the time for seriousness, but tonight let happiness reign. Commencement means an end of education for some of usg for others a step to a higher education. In a larger sense, however, it means exactly the same thing to all of us: the realization that we are soon to be tested by that strange and mysterious outer world of which we know so little. XVhether we shall sink or swim remains to be seen. But, at this moment, we feel confident that we shall all, in days to come, make a name for ourselves and for old Reading High. In parting we wish to thank our teachers and principals for the painstaking work they have done in making our High School career a success. Doubtless we were trying at times, but they bore with us. Perhaps they punished us, but it was for our good alone. Now we realize the difficulties with which they had to contend, and feel gratified that they have shown us the right path. XVe also wish to express our thanks to our parents, through whose sacrifice we are enabled to be present this evening. Many of them have endured no little hardship in order to see their son or daughter here this evening. To these double thanks are due. But time grows short again-we welcome you, and sincerely hope that we can make your visit an entertaining and enjoyable one. Tiigil Girls, Class History RUTI1 Orr They tell us that the deeds of great men and women compose history. So here are the deeds of the great women of the '28 June Class which made history for R. I-l. S. NVith a great chatter of how we spent our vacation and how we were going to spend the succeeding months, the girls of ,ZS June Class entered the Fourth and Court Streets Girls' High School building for the first time in September, 1925. VVe were directed to the main room, which seemed strange and immense, but which became, in later days, a very familiar sight. It was to be our study room as well as the 'fhome room for all of us later on when we became Juniors. Of course, our Sophomore year was spent mostly in the High School annexes, of which there were four, and only on rare occasions did we enter the main build- ing. Although we were not classed as Freshmen, we were-fresh from junior High School, and had to take all the bumps handed to us by the Senior girls. In 741 THE ARXALMA IIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIII IIIII II I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I IIIIIIIII II I IIIIII III other words, we were green.', But we had quite a few advantages over the upper classes, for there was instilled within us an active spirit, carried from our Junior I-hgh Schools. From the very beginning our class excelled in athletics, for the Seniors, not having had a gymnasium, had had no training, and we were in full trim. And, as we climbed higher in class, we kept our record. Some of our most outstanding athletes are Dorothy Moore, Dorothy Foley, and Laura Reider. In the spring of 1926 the Reading High Schools, Girls' and Boys', organized an athletic association. Representatives as chosen from our class were: Mary Billman in J26, Dorothy Moore as the treasurer of the organization in ,27 and as representative, and Ruth Ott in 127 and '28, At the meetings our girls did much to help arrange the athletic events for boys. Records of social events show the '28 June Class an active participant. There was a school club party held at Bach's dance hall and another at the Rajah ball room. ln both of these we did our share to make them a success, which they certainly were, even though there were only girls present. Before we left the Girls' High School we organized our class. The result of the election was: Ruth Ott, President, Dorothy Moore, Vice-Presidentg Joseph- ine Eisenhauer, Secretary, and .lane Tyson, Treasurer. NVith these officers we were ready to invade the new Senior High Co-ed School, which was to be prepared for our occupancy in September, 1927. September found us all eager to enter our new building. Because of the enormous school and the cast number of pupils to enter, plans were made to make quick distribution of the boys and girls to their assigned rooms. So the principals selected the officers of our class to help in this matter. Dorothy Moore, Joe Eisen- hauer, ,lane Tyson, and Ruth Ott were found, on the opening day, stationed at various places about the doors directing all classes to their places. Yes, our girls played an important part in the opening of this palace. After we were getting accustomed to our new surroundings, there had to be a new class organization. It is sad to relate that, in organizing, the boys outruled the girls. Of the girl officers, there was not one girl re-elected, which proves that our girls are rather fond of the boys. But when committees were picked and put to work, the girls certainly did their duty, and Ilm sure outdid the boys. The Senior girls were very active participants in the publication of the Red and Black and helped to make it the successful paper it has been this last term. We've heard of them as doing good work in the extra-curricular clubs, and also as being useful members of the Senior Assembly Committee. Socially, our class was a tremendous success. None of the dances held in the Red and Black Cafeteria were more prosperous than were our own Senior Frolic and Prom. In memorium of Pearl Gross, a beloved member of our class, we sadly state we have suffered a great loss from her death. Like all great women of history, our girls now stand ready to embark on an- other trip of life's voyage. Our intentions are to keep up the good work and use the knowledge we attained here to the best advantage. Here we stand on the threshold of life, Here we must not wait or tarry, Here we grope with new and worldly strife, There is a burden to carry.

TQ23. the boys, destined to comprise the best class ever graduated from R. H. S., gathered in the auditorium of the former lloys' High School, at liighth and Xyasliington Streets. ln fact, Mr. Sandt says that we are the tirst perfect class to be graduated from this school, and there won't be another class like this until the year 2256. Our class came in for its share of hazing from the upper classmen, being told to take the elevator, or to get a left-handed monkey wrench from '4Charlie, the janitor. lfarly in October, we held a class meeting and elected otlicers. Allen Haw- mau was chosen l'resident, with l.ee lllyler as Yice l'resident, 'ABob Heffel- tiuger, Secretary, and blohn Holohau, Treasurer. Our football team tied '28 Felt. for the interclass championship that year. Our basketball team finished fourth, the track team, tirst, and the base ball team, second. In our -luuior year, l.ee lllyler was chosen to lead our class with Hliud' lrlawmau as his chief assistant. A'Shrimp'l Dietrich was elected Treasurer. while Hob Hetfeltinger was retained as Secretary. XYe were no longer greenies. The lower classmen looked up to us with awe, while our superiors, the Seniors, treated us more cordially and condesceuded to recognize us human beings. NYC elected the staft of the Red and Black, the school's otlicial publication, with Und llawman as liditor-iufchief. Owing to the consolidation of the two schools in 1927. we did not select a pin and ring committee in our -lunior year as was customary. Again our athletic teams ranked high. The track team was runner-up, being second only to the l'. tifs, while the baseball team went through the season without a defeat. Our Senior year found us taking over the reins of leadership from our predecessors. The same officers were elected in spite of the addition of the other sex to our ranks. The girls elected their lied and Black staff, while the entire class chose an ,'Xrxalina staff. A pin and ring coimnittee was chosen to select a ring suitable for this distinguished class. Class colors, a class flower, and a class numeral were chosen. We edited the 'flied and Black, and at the same time introduced the policy of selling single copies of this paper. XYe directed the assemblies and led the school in extra curricular activities and athletics. .Xgain our basketball team ranked high, while the track team swept all opposition before it. lu addition to all the previous activities, the Class of '28 June staged two social functions, 'fThe lfrolicll :md The l'rom. Both affairs were very sue' cessful, financially and socially. liesides all the class athletics, '28 june did her part in upholding the honor of R. H. S. ou the field against other schools. lileveu '28 june boys have earned their K's. They are: Football, lflatt. liieser, Stark, cross country, Bleugel, Hlylerg basketball, Haugen, lilatt, l-llylerg track, Scluuucker, llrobek, Schwerin, Spatz. Stark, Swavely, Klengel and lilylerg baseball, Carabello. In addition, many fellows won scrub letters in the various sports. ln its junior year, '23 -lune put three men on the varsity debating teams, namely, Haugen, Seidel, Zable. all of whom hold the XXVIII. H. lsuden Medal for debating. The Senior year found practically the entire debating squad of twelve composed of members of the Class of '28 vluue. This is the record of '28 june, a record of which our illustrious class may well be proud. 76 T H E A R X A L M A IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllilllllIIIlllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIllIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIlIlIIlIIlIIIlIIlIlllllllllllllllli Class Prophecy BY PENINNAI-I PETERS For inspiration for this prophecy we were directed to the Cave of the Sibyl. The interior of the cavern was horribleg the walls, of course, were of rock and cov- ered with a slimy moss, the air was dark and musty. In the center of the floor was a small fissure through which issued a lazy column of smoke. Here, evidently, the Sibyl received her inspirations, Right before this opening in the ground was a huge pile of leaves QSibyl, by the way, wrote all her prophecies on leavesj, the very thing we wanted. Both must have caught sight of these at the same time, for each of us dashed towards the pile simultaneously. VVe were just about to grab a bunch of leaves when a strong gust of wind swept in and scattered the leaves helter-skelter, all over the cave. WVe were disappointed, of course, but patiently proceeded to gather them up. WVe don't know how near we are to the correct forebodings, but this is what we found: WVe suddenly heard a frightful noise that sounded like a public mob with people shouting at the tops of their voices and jumping up and down. It appeared to us to be one of those nice, blood-curdling murder episodes, so we looked closer. Murder, did we say? No such thing. It was a large theatre, the Fleetwood Opera Company, to be exact, and the people were clamoring and yelping for the actors to appear again. Iio and be- hold! NVho should our entertainers be but Carl Seidel and Roberta Myers, now traveling in a vaudeville circuit. They sang for us one of the latest song hits, A Scotchman VVon't VVear Suspenders 'Cause They Givef, During the singing I chanced to look up into one of the boxes and saw a tall, dignified lady seated there, holding a pair of lorgnettes. The lady in question happened to be Bailey Patterson, now a society matron in Fleetwood. Soon the glass in the lorgnettes fell in pieces to the door. As I learned later, the reason was the fact that she was looking daggers through them at the man next to her who was madly applauding the singing on the stage. The big, strapping brute turned out to be Dick Hofses, her one and only, and also the proprietor of the theatre. 'Twas enough! I feared the worst for poor Richard. The next leaf showed a court room scene. Tiny lable was the judge. The un- happy victim was Harold Pfreimer, arrested for stealing a base out at George Field. The prosecuting attorney was John Tyson, experiencing his first case on a man, since John usually deals with female clients. The jury consisted of Kas Shearer, Perry Ott, Sniftles Stocker, 'tBrooke Ball, Big-Boy Rupp, Myra Livingood, Harry Miller, and Billy Billman. They sentenced poor Harold to murder in the ninth degree, 80 min- utes and 99 seconds, but Tyson suggested the tenth degree to avoid fractions. This was too sad, so we let the leaf Hy to the winds. Next we saw Karl Obold, who was running a Physical 'Culture Correspondence School. How to Get Thin in Six Lessons. Obold had as his partner in the business Ned Brumbach. He used Ned for his posters, Carl representing BEFORIC and llrumbach AFTER. NVe saw Charlie Meter and Harry NVolfe performing a big publicity stunt. They were posing for soap ads-soft soap ads. A whirring sound greeted our ears. Looking around, we saw an aeroplane alight. A youth dashed out of the cock-pitg it was none other than 'gArt Troxel, our lady's man, as it were, now in the air service. He always was a Highty creature anyway, and now he surely will experience the ups and downs of life. I.ee Blyler and John Criswell now run an undertaking establishment, which business is undergoing a big boon. They use as their slogan, You Killem-VVe'll Do the Rest. The next scene was a tennis court. There we saw Jack Heffelfinger' raising a racquet. As we were wondering the reason for all the confusion, we saw Paul Mory and Roy Man- willer carry a man away on a stretcher, VVe found later that the man was Bob HeEel- finger, who had been knocked out by a blow on his solar plexus, dealt, strange to say, by himself' when he struck at a ball and sadly missed it. The reason for his missing the ball was the fact that Henrietta Ahrens, f'Tish Ammon and 'tMarge VVhitman we1'e passing by. YVe saw Emerson Klopp, who has been doing a lot of playing around lately. He demonstrates for the Victor Talking Machine Company. I F.ddie Hess is on a tour down in the South Sea Islands, lecturing on 'tlt Isn't Being Done. t VVilliam DeHart and Gerald Kachel can give us light on any subject now. They 1'un an elect1'ica1 supply store.

Moyer, and Catherine and Mary Schinehl run a circus, and what a circus! In it we found Don Felix as a sword swallower, and Jo Flatt as the world's most famous strong man. Bettie VVanner was a snake charmer. Howard Oswald, William Meinholz, YValter Magrowski and Harold Hafer were practically all leading men in the business. That is-they led the animals to and from the arena for their acts. Charles Adams was the tattooed man, and Charlie Miller was a tight rope walker. He's married now and he gets a good bit of practice walk- ing the chalk line at home. Herbert Lind, Irene Sechler, Carolyn Stoudt, Miriam Wertz, and Frances Rowlands are with the Metropolitan Opera Comp:my. They're the scenery. Eleanor and 'tltusty Mengel, Paul Leitzel, and Charles Moyer started a singing school for frogs, but their pupils all croaked. Anita and Ellen Scholton, our famous twins, have a little magnetic field of their own. They draw for a living. Eddie Coldren, Ste-W Kinsey, 'Clarke Koffke, and Charlie Carabello run a filling station down on the Philadelphia Pike. They sell hot dawgs and soft drinks. WVe saw poor Melba Frankhouser, who had just been sentenced to death for drown- ing her thoughts. Clues and Elsie Berger, Joe Janizewski, Margaretta Livingood, Norman Spatz, Lydia Scholl, Mildred Heckman, Margaret Heinly, and Frances Hottenstein are following an artistic career. All of them pose for funny papers, knick-knacks and the like. John Rinehart, Joel Hinkel, Dick Holl, Andy Polepecha, Pete Taliani, and Willie Schussler met a sad fate. They went down to the wilds of Africa to Christianize a tribe of Ki-Kis, but the heathen didn't choose to be Christianized, and, since the lads looked so appetizing, they decided to serve them a. la mode for Sunday dinner. Needless to say, the savages sudered from indigestion. Bella Schwartz and Betty Stoudt CI say, therein lay two wondrous mindsj are travel- ing around thc world in search of free speech. They finally found it in the Fiji Islands, because there no one could understand what they were saying, anyway. Next we saw g'Jo Eisenhauer, now a pianist of worthy note. I heard her play, and although she can C sharp, her notes seem to B flat. She was accompanied by Ruth VViest, a renowned pianist. Caroline Diefenderfer, Ida Kensil, Mini Sherman, Acquilla Hoffman, Irma Kern, and Katie Miller, Bernice Hoverter, Evelyn Hufman, and Margaret Hunsberger have en- tered a big dough-making scheme. They've gone in the baking business. Our little Byron Slichter has descended deep, deep down into the mire. He's gotten to the point where he lives entirely on other people. He's become a cannibal. Anna I.awrenc'e and Vl'innie Early run a marriage bureau. Husbands guaranteed for the best and for the worst is their slogan. Keller, Kenny and Co. fthe Co.l' stands for their better halvesj run a big hospital in New York. They seem to have a rushing business, but it isn't because of their wonder- ful ability in carving or anything like that. Peg', Devaney, Ev Heiser, Hazel VVhite. and Mary Jones happened to be nurses there. So far this year three out of their two thousand patients survived long enough to get out of the hospitalg but they passed away shortly after, when they got their bills. Fritz Hill and Evelyn Reber also are employed here at the hospital. They do the anesthetizing. They stand outside the door and sing, and the patient soon goes into a swoon. lVe next saw nine more of our fellow classmates, all in a business together. They were: Kate Eyrich. Bruce Gehrke, Paul I.eister, Helen Lucia, George Kephart, Stan Kershner, Hermie Bless, Evelyn Seiz, and Mike Soltys. Helen Lucia, Kate Eyrich, Hermie Bless, Evelyn Seiz, and Soltys run a confectionery store and stuff the cus- tomers until they're deathly sick. Then they ship them oft' to Kephart and Kershner, doctors in partnership. These two treat the patients for a while and send what's left of them to Bruce Gehrke and Paul Leister, undertakers. Vl'e noticed that Fish Haring, Norman Hangen, and Bob Kline had taken up public speaking. They were rag men. Next we saw Ruth Adams and Marguerite Graeff, both Stenogs. Ruth was hitting Elie keys for Ed Fegley, who was running a little business of his own. A monkey usiness, as it were! Next we found Allen Hawman. Allen has aspired to still greater heights. He's gone to heaven as St. l'eter's assistant, he dusts the stars, hangs out the moon, etc. In his company we found another one of our classmates. Sweet music! Heavenly! It's the last word in celestial discord. Following the direction of the sound, we found VVillie Fichthorn, who has now taken to playing a harp. He was playing just then 'Tm Just One of Heaven's Little Stars. . 78 T H E A R X A L M A IIIIHIIIIllIlllIllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIllllllnllIIllIIlulllllllIIIIIllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllullllllllllIlllllllIlllIllllllIllIIllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllIlllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllln Next we saw Mary Flexer taking the lead in a new Broadway success. Mary has as her faithful understudics Ida Huyett, Peg Yoder, and lfldwina XVeaver. Again there was music in the air, and, gazing on another leaf, there we saw Georgie Dunkelherger, Arno Duncan, Jon Vath, Bob Dukes, Jo Haage, Merkie Good, 'l'had' Drobek, and Russ Swavely, also traveling on the stage as a double quartet. The music became clearer and we could now catch the words plainly. They were harping on that old soothing melody, They Threw the Baby Out the VVindow for Crying Out I.oud. This was a howling success, and they were called out again. The next scene we looked on was quite thrilling. There we saw 'fI.izzie Isenberg and lYellie Goodman. XVellie seemed quite distressed, but Lizzie was more so. XVe heard her say, Oh, VVellie, dear, you'll IIAYE to tell fathcrflfl---can't face him now, I-- ' But, my DlQAlt, broke in Goodman, you still haven't told me what this awful thing is. Come, now, I'll fix it up with your dad. . Oh, 'VVellie,' came the reply, I ISEAT a poor little egg before I thought. It was too much. I threw the leaf away, not wanting to see the sad fate of these poor unfortunates. Next we saw VVilbur Peifer and Stew Shoemaker. These two have just edited a book, Perri and Micro, the Scope Twins. Then we saw the interior of a hospital, and whom should we find there but Bill VVells, now a famous surgeon. He's quite well-known for his skill in removing cares and worries from young ladies' hearts. Dot XVebster, a nurse for XVilliam, gives eye treat- ments. That is. with those big blue eyes of hers she sees that the young men are properly cured. John Kissling is a regular customer, I've noticed. On another leaf we saw Giggles WVanner, Mickey Bender, Peggie Ganster, Dot Foley, Betty llerenhciser, and Ginny Hahn, all stately school marms. VVe noticed, then an exceptionally large leaf fluttering in the breeze, and, after several vain attempts, we finally rescued it. There we saw what appeared to be a huge factory devoted to the manufacture of store teeth. The advertising man was Al Ciabaton, now renowned for his famous slogan, Teach Your Dollars to Have More Sense! Cal I,ieberman was the draft clerk. He opened and closed the windows. VVe found Helen Graul as clock-watcher, while Christian Lellig handed out the boxing gloves to the in-- formation clerk, who punched the clock, and Ken,' Dietrick was the big boss. Now, a splash of red! It gradually cleared and showed John Holohan, our Haming youth, and with him the light of his heart, Peg Hoffa. She calls him Pilgrim now, 'cause every time he calls he makes a little progress. lVe got a glimpse of George lirobst and Mary Ammon, who have been doing a lot of cutting up lately. They run a butcher shop. Xl'e noticed that they supplied a great deal of meat to l'Jo .Iordan and t'ltay Humbert, who have a restaurant on Perkiomen Ave. They call it The Morgue, because everybody gives you the cold shoulder. Un a sign outside the place is this: Hat HerefGive Your VVife an Early Chance at the Life In- surance. VVhile I was looking at the leaf, a girl came out of the place and I discovered it to be .lane Tyson, now known as Hannah, the Hard-hearted, who was working for Jordan and Humbert. Next I saw l'lddie Gable sitting on the curb at Fifth and Penn. I wondered why the funeral look, when I perceived on the leaf further information about Gable. He's the fire chief and badly in need of business, therefore the desperate 'tpanf' ' He has as his assistant Elwood YVagner. Iilwood didn't look exactly like a ray of sunshine, either. His face soon cleared, however, and upon inquiry from Gable, Vl'agner told him they could just start a fire and stir up some life on the force, since business was in a slump. 'flilliel' went out in search of prey and finally decided on the little merchandise store run by Sissie,' Mast and Carl Kline, selling anything from horses' harnesses to Lydia Pink- ham's liver pills. It worked nicely, but when Gable went for his car he found it didn't choose to run, so he rushed away on the shoe leather express. NVhen he arrived, he found Gerald Kachel and Roland Clouse using the motor of his machine to work some new device for a fire extinguisher. As the crowd looked on, l saw a man making his way up front. He began to call the people his way to speak to them. 'fNow's the time to take your life-7-life--einsurance-policy-dirt cheapf, It was none other than Charlie Pyewell, a. salesman for a life insurance company. Then we saw Sherry,' Rieser and Rufus ltiegel strolling happily along through the park. I could hear what they were saying now. t'0h, 'Sherryf ,' cried Ruth, say some- thing soft and sweet to me. Applesauce, came the curt reply. On another leaf we saw a police patrol racing at an awful speed. As it came closer, we saw that the driver was Anthony Barrasso. The boat seemed crowded, and when it stopped we saw, to our amazement, Marion Bendel, Kathryn Corwin, Audrey Cutshall., Pauline limrich, Iflthel Glassmoyer, and Louise Freehafer alight. They'd all gone to Hollywood to be actresses and now had been arrested for murder, 'cause they made the cameramen all die laughing at them. THE ARXALMA 79 llllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllullulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllzllllullllllllllllllllllllllll llllllillllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIHIIIIIIlllllllllllllllll Carl Abraham, Paul Borst and Carl Beck had also gone to this land where men are men. They evidently hadn't succeeded, for they were now wandering aimlessly around the streets selling shoe laces. Dorcas Townley and Russel Potts have 26 children to care for now. They run an orphanage. Dot Moore, Hyacinth Shafer, Margaret Smith, and Anna VVehr are working to- gether. Dot and t'Shafe have a little stage act together. Dot saws on a mouth- organ and Shafe does the yelping. Peg Smith and Anna NVehr, as charity workers, gather up the fruit and vegetables thrown ati the other two and distribute them to the poor. Louise Bennet has become an artist of great fame. She recently sent a picture to a big London exhibit. The name of the picture was Lunch Time at R. H. Sf' It took a big prize because of its wonderful portrayal of human nature and of the actions of a famished school child when it spies food. On the picture I saw Helen Kauffman, Madeline Deibert, Babs Neuroth, and Ruth Shaffer PUTTING the '4Starved Armenian Act. Our curiosity was certainly aroused when we looked on the next leaf. There I saw Emma Kissinger tied to a steak and screaming in agony while an angry tribe of cannibals danced about her. My heart took an awful leap, but just then Rulon Griiiith came along, and I thought surely he would rescue poor Emma. But alas! I later learned he was the seething villain. My heart was soon settled when in ,Qalloped Myles Hahn, our dashing hero, and saved the child, VVhilc he was performing the act, David Adams came on the scene, and everybody immediately stopped what he was doing. I discovered then that they were taking a movie and David was the director and Emma the leading lady. I saw where Joyce Schultz, lVIart Soderland, Anna Bergeman, Ginny Arnold, Louise Diller, Mabel Feick, Elizabeth Heydt, Ruth Jacobs, Mildred McLean, and Dorothy Muntz had organized a Man-Haters' League, but they're all married now, so I guess the league isn't any more. I noticed that Almaretta Bechtel was private secretary to the President, VVillard Hagan. Shirley Sullman and Amy Leinbach are traveling together, giving concerts on the piano-the player piano. Cleda YVentzel, Elizabeth Yeager, Peg Herbine, and Dot Heyen have just pat- ented a new kind of pretzel, one which can be broken and chawed noiselessly. Anyway, it will be a great asset for the pupils of R. H. S., we hope. Anna Frank, Sarah Koch, Clarahelle Rehrer and Mildred Stephenson have opened an alibi factory. That is!-they manufacture alihis to get one out of lessons, doing dishes, running errands, staying out late, staying in 106 for being late, etc. I hope some of their classmates will show interest and patronize them. The last leaf showed Mary Huyett and Flo Berkowitz, both poetesses, Working to- gether. They've just completed this sweet little poem called THE PSALM OF A FORD Tell me not in mournful numbers, You are but an empty dream, For your engine's dead or slumbers And you are not what you seem. You're not real, you're not earnest, Only Reading High's your goal, Rust thou art. to rust returneth, VVhen you stick in a mud hole. Not enjoyment, but deep sorrow Is our destined end and way, If we go by you, tomorrow VVe'll be no further than today. Lives of old Fords should remind you You can make your life sublime, And departing, leave behind you VVheel ruts in the mud of time. YVheel ruts that perhaps another, Fording o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and Ford-wrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heed in vain.

Davidson, commencement speaker at the graduation exercises of the Class of June, 1928, at the Reading High School, is a Pennsylvanian by birth. He is superintendent of the public schools of Pittsburgh. Dr. Davidson is nationally known as an educator. He was recently re-elected superintendent of the Pittsburgh schools for a six-year term. He has been city editor of an Emporia, Kansas, newspaper, and principal and superintendent ot schools in Atwood, Kansas, Lincoln, Nebraska, Topeka, Kansas, Omaha, Ne- braska, and NVashington, D. C. He has been superintendent of the Pittsburgh schools since 1914. He has been treasurer and president of the Department of Superintendence of the National Education, and Kansas, Nebraska and Pennsylvania State Edu- cation Associations. He has written a history of the United States, and is editor of a series of classics and school readings. THE ARXALMA 81. llllll I IIIIIII IIIIIIIIIII llllllllllll Illlllll IIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIlIIIIIIllIllIIIIIIIIIllIIlIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIII Illllllll IIIIII Illllllll Illllllllllllllll V LEDICTORY uf-lilie Philosopher and the Foolv ALLEN M. HANVMAN, JR. There has always been a tendency for persons to be interested in only one type of character or thing and to disregard all others. There are some men, of course, who are willing to see life in its entirety, to consider all types. Rollo VValter Brown, in his biography, George Bellows-American,' describes such a man. Bellows was an artist, a realist, who painted life as he found it. He re-- produced on canvas anything from sunsets to stevedores, from portraits to pansies. Art critics thought him mad, but he was merely doing justice to himself: he was considering all types. So we should study all sorts of people, no matter what their status in life. Let us take, for example, two widely different types: the philosopher and the fool. Each has his message for usg each challenges our interest. Philosophy is the pursuit of wisdom, of truth, which will help us to under- stand better life and our fellow-men. There is an old maxim, 'fTruth will make you free. It is this liberating truth that the philosophers of the past have given us, that those of the present are trying to give us. To some people the philoso- pher is a dickering debater and thinker who deals with abstract problems, but ac- complishes nothing. True, the philosopher's task concerns abstract problems like good and evil, right and wrong, order and freedom, which fall into two great fields of philosophy: ethics and politics. Philosophers have, however, arrived at conclusions on these problems, have contributed much to civilization in these par- ticular phases of life. Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher, struck the keynote in the desire for wisdom and knowledge in his maxim, his motto, Know thyselff' Surely the greatest wisdom a man can have is a complete knowledge of himself, of how to control himself. On the question of ethics, it is the philosopher who has shed light on the dark ignorance of good and evil, of right and wrong. lVhere would we be today if we did not know how to conduct ourselves, if we knew not what was right and what was wrong? The philosophers have taught us the distinction between good and evil. Socrates contributed something when he said that if a man could be made to see his real interests, to see the distant results of his deeds, this would be a basis for his code of morals. Another problem which has always attracted the philosophers is the science of government, which we call politics. XVhat is the best form of government? This question has been answered in different ways by different philosophers, but it is chiefly through their efforts that we have developed the kind of government we have today. From Plato to the present day philosophers, the question of a form of government has been mulled over and threshed out until we have finally ac- cepted democracy. lt is far from perfect, but it is a vast improvement over former governmental systems, thanks, to a great extent, to the philosophers. Most of the world's famous poets have been philosophers as well, setting forth in their works their own philosophies of life. The philosophy of Robert Browning was one of extreme optimism. He writes in one of his famous poems that he Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, tho right were worsted, wrong would triumph. 82 T I-I E A R X A L M A lllllllilll Ill I IIIIIII Il IullIllIInImlulllllllllIIlIllllIIllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll llll IIIIIIIIIIIIIII III Ill I llll He believed that this life is merely a period of growth, of preparation for a life to come. He contended that all life is good in its way. But what of the fool? Vlfhat has he to give us? There is one type of fool who can teach us the dont's of life. It is said that experiencne is the best teacher. The wise man, however, is content to learn from the experiences of others. The fool must have the experience himself in order to learn his lesson. He will put his linger in the Hameg but the wise man knows from the experience of others that it will burn. Another kind of fool is the fool whom Shakespeare has made famous: the wit. Shakespeare's fools are clever fellows. Falstaif, the most famous of all, appears to the other characters to be a fool, but in reality he knows quite well what he is doingg he is really fooling them. The circus clown appears to be a fool, associated only with grease paint, foolish costumes, and more foolish antics. Often under this rakish exterior is concealed a human nature capable of teaching us a lesson. Anne Fuller has writ- ten a story, The Show Must Go On, in which Koko, a circus clown, was the father of an invalid child, whom he dearly loved. All previous edorts to cure the childis ailment had failed, and a foreign doctor came forward with a desire to attempt an operation which would mean either complete recovery or death. The poor clown, after a touching mental struggle, decided to allow the doctor to operate, Koko talked to his son and told him of the impending operation. He said to hini, Remember, whatever happens, the show must go onf, The child recovered, but that is not our point. Here a clown, a fool, has taught us a lesson. VVe must persevere, struggle on in the face of all obstacles, let nothing turn us from our goal. No matter what happens, the show must go on l Now, here is a little fact that is interesting. If a walnut is placed in the bottom of a pan. covered with beans, and the pan shaken well, the nut will come to the top. So in great shake-ups in the world's history, so-called Hfoolsl' have come to the top to gain fame for themselves and to contribute to the progress of the world. People called Columbus a fool when he stated that the earth was round, thus advancing a theory contrary to the popular faith in the Hatness of the earth's surface. He was right, however, as we know today, and in proving that he was right he discovered a new continent, a new world. Yet he was a fool! Robert Fulton was laughed to scorn when he announced that he could make a ship which would move without oars or sails. People mocked him with taunts of Fool, but Fulton did invent a ship propelled by steam. Another fool had fooled the world! Columbus and Fulton are examples of men who were called fools merely because their ideas were beyond the comprehension of their contemporaries. There are many such men today whom we are all too ready to call fools, to whom we are probably doing a great injustice. Let 'us think before we brand any man a fool. We of the graduating class are about to go out into life where we shall meet all kinds of people, have dealings with all kinds of people. We shall study human nature, the characters of the people about us. In every one we shall find some lesson to be learned. Let us not forget that we may learn something helpful, some- thing worth while from everyone, be he philosopher or fool. To the Board of Education, the Superintendent, and the Assistant Superin- tendent of the Reading schools: We, the Class of 1928 June, desire to take this THE ARXALMA 83 Illlll IIIIIIII I llHIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIlllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lllll llllllll IIII ll llllllllllll ll Illlllllllllll opportunity to express our deepest gratitude for the advantages you gave us when you made-possible for us this wonderful school from which we are now about to be graduated. Vife say to you, Farewell.,' I To our honored principals and faculty: To you who have dedicated your lives to the work ot education, to you who have labored in our behalf, who have guided our course through High School, we express our thanks and say farewell. Fellow classmates, this is the last time we shall be gathered together as a class. Today we are High School students, tomorrow we shall by alumni. Today we belong to Reading High, tomorrow we shall belong to the world. May we cherish forever the memories of our dear Alma Mater, may we never break the ties of friendship made within her walls, may we be true to her highest ideals. Farewell! ?1Q..,4.. SALLITATORY usunset Landu BY RIQTTIE STOUT Throughout the ages, the glory of the sunset has sent its challenge to man: Come, O ye pilgrims of progress, to this land, where the rays of the sun fall in warm, ruddy light. It is the shining beaconlight of ideals that so dazzles your eyes. Follow it! Keep it ever before you in your course. It will lead you to a glorious country, a land of dreams come truefSunset Land. Come, and as the reward of your labors, ye shall find there wealth, power, happiness, beauty! XVho, through all the ages, has not at some time or other in his life, heard this cry within his own heart, or who has never felt his own spirit fired by that flaming banner in the XYest? Time and time again has the cry found response in the heart of individuals, and even of nations. Seldom has the challenge gone unanswered, for from the beginning of time, man has sought in the Land of the Sunset the fulfillment of his labor and ideals. XVe need only go back in history some thousands of years to read of a mys- terious intluence that urged our Aryan forefathers to set out to the NVest from their original home in Asia. If we but had historical records, we should prob- ably know what geographic or superstitious or spiritual influence drove them westward rather than eastward. XVhatever the cause, they set the fashion for all later migrations toward the XVest. Some of them found their Sunset Land in the mountainous highlands north of the Persian Gulf, where they were then known as the Medes and the Persians, and where they conquered their Semitic neighbors, whose civilization they had adopted. Qther branches directed their wandering course still farther westward, into the peninsulas of Hellas or Greece and of Italy. Others pushed to the northwest and became the ancestors of the Scandinavian and Germanic races. Thus was Europe colonized. Any brief discussion of this great movement fails to give any idea of the more or less constant seething of peoples in those very early days. Having found, perhaps, a desirable site, they were soon lured on by the promise or hope of some 84- THE ARXALMA llllllllllllllll Illlll I IIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III I lllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Illlllllll I lllllllllllll ll llllilll spot even more desirable. Their homes were of a very temporary nature, their furnishings and personal equipment light. Their wealth lay mostly in herds, which required no elaborate transportation. Moving might be a slow process, but all eternity was theirs. Even after civilization and life crystalized into a more permanent form migra- tion did not cease. They simply took the form of conquests and invasions. These westward movements came in waves, centnry after century. VVe need only recall, first of all, the unsuccessful attempts of the two great Persian kings, Darius and Xerxes, to conquer the shining isles of Greece. later, the western spread of Greek civilization in the wake of Roman conquests, and then the westward march of the barbarian Goths and Vandals, and still later, in southern Europe, the onslaughts and defeat of the Mohammedan hordes of Arabia at Constantinople and at Tours, defeats that made Europe Christian rather than Mohammedan, but saved for Spain a knowledge of the arts and sciences which later served to bring light and culture to a Europe wrapped in the ignorance of the Dark Ages, and finally the successful onsets of the Turks, barbarous Tartars from the East before whom Constantinople fell in 1453. These Tartars seemed to feel more or less constantly this spirit of adventure and westward urge, for about the year 1600 Europe was terrified by the western incursions of Genghis Khan fLord of Lordsj, who led his mighty army to conquer the worldf, Only the natural disintegration of empire that usually followed in one or two generations after the death of a great empire builder saved Europe again, this time from a Mongol civilization. Once more a west- ward impulse was thwarted. Have migrations ceased since 1600? Scarely, since the settlement of the Americas was the work of Europeans over a period of not quite a hundred years. But since then? Does this westward urge still exist? Read the pioneer history of our own country, read the tales of the Forty-niners, and of the later gold rush to Alaska. But today, are there still traces of it? A strange combination of circumstances turns om' eyes westward to Hawaii and the Philippines. But even that is the result of past history, you say. True indeed! But what country of the East today has fastened a firm hold on Korea and eastern Siberia and is sus- pected of looking with longing eyes westward toward China? It is a curious symptom, this westward impulse. Underlying it are all the passions and hungers that dominate mankind-the land hunger, for example, that may have fired our original ancestors, that undoubtedly inspired the Goths and Alaric, that maddened some of the German war-lords, and that is unquestionably at the root of most of j'apan's restlessness today. It is a striking fact, however, that those movements which were inspired only by a greedy desire for wealth, for land, for conquest, have almost without excep- tion resulted in failure. Conquest, power at any price V' they demanded of their sunset lands. VVhat have you to pay for them ? said they. 'fWe come with empty hearts, said they. Then go back with empty handsf' was the reply. And they did go back with empty hands. But what about those who have come to sunset land with their hearts overflowing with dreams-dreams of service, and love and unselfishness, dreams of beauty, and peace, and freedom? Ah, that is the only price at which one can purchase success in a sunset land-a land of dreams come true!

The person who, after reading a wonderful book, has not shared and discussed it with a friend, has never realized how the pleasure of reading may be enhanced, the person who has never in the companionship of a friend seen the sun rise over the mountains has never seen the loveliest sunrise possible. It is the understanding friend, in the best sense of that badly abused term, who enjoys with us the mag- nificence and the terrors of the past, shares with us the joys and sorrows of the present, and anticipates the wonders of the future. But friendship is more than a mere stimulus of appreciation. Emerson went on to say: UO friend-the fountains of my hidden life Are through thy friendship fair. Through friendly intercourse the best in ourselves is brought out. XVho does not do his best work in an atmosphere of encouragement and interest? Wihose thoughts do not spring more readily, whose words do not flow more rapidly under the inspiration of a friendly presence? Nor is it only poets and artists that are sensitive to the inspiration of friends, ordinary mortals, in a lesser degree, per- haps. will brighten under the same influence as plants freshen under a shower. Strangely enough, one of the less frequently recorded types of friendship is that between members of the same family, perhaps because it is taken for granted. Cicero's daughter, Tullia, owes her fame to the literary skill of her father. She was the only one of his family that really understood the old Roman, his wife being shrewish and jealous and his older son good for little more than nothing. So between the father and the daughter there grew a bond of more than triple strength. Tullia is often mentioned in her father's letters: it was she who jour- neyed alone from Rome to Brundisium to welcome him back from exile. At her early death, Cicero was broken-hearted, and all the philosophy he had imbibed through many years helped but little in consoling him. Tullia and her father are but types of the really line friendships that frequently exist between members of the same family. Another kind of friendship, which has perhaps contributed more to the vorld's advancement than has any other, is that frequently arising between master and pupil. Plato and Socrates, now inseparable names, themselves lived such a friendship. Before he met Socrates, Plato had written poetry, but hearing the man speak and recognizing his master, he burned his poetry and followed him. All during his young manhood, Plato was a devoted friend and disciple of the older philosopher, listening to his questions, pondering his answers. After Socrates' death, Plato founded his Academy and wrote his famous dialogues, still studied and discussed after two thousand years. lferhaps the most usual type of friendship is that between persons having the same interests, where there is an equal interchange of gifts and no dependeny. In 86 THE ARXALMA Illllllllllllllllll llllll IIIIII Illlllll IIII llll II IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIII IIIIIII IIIIII llll IIIII Illl Ill llll IIII the world of art and literature there have always been little cliques of talented men and women, who, appreciating one another's genius, have come together and formed close friendships, the works of each inspiring better things in all the rest. In the fifteenth century the great Italian painters-Da Vinci, Michael Angelo, and Raphael--were close friends. In the age of the great Elizabeth, Shakespeare and his coterie of dramatists made the walls of the Mermaid Tavern rock with their laughterg and over a century later another famous group gathered at the Cheshire Cheese in London and listened to the ponderous conversation of the great Dr. johnson. American history, too, has an illustrious little group-the Concord and Cambridge writers-Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, and Alcott in the one town, and Lowell, Longfellow, Holmes in the other. Each admired and respected the others and was influenced by each in turn. The classic examples of friendship in history have been Damon and Pythias, David and Jonathan, Roland and Oliver. In the case of David and Ionathan, their interests, apparently, were hardly the same, for one was the son of a king and the other was the son of a shepherd. lt would seem that, as in the case of electricity, opposites attract, that there must be contrast in some ways before true friendship can result. It was frequently remarked during the NVorld VVar that the American agreed far better with the French than with the English soldiers. The two Anglo-Saxon types were perhaps too much alike, knew each other too well by instinct. There was no undiscovered territory in the other which would stimulate intellectual curiosity, But to the Americans the French were a new combination of qualities with different virtues and vices, or, at least, virtues and vices in a different degree. Here was something fresh, admirable, worthy of re- spect and study. True friendship overcomes pride and ambition. David and jonathan, the shepherd and the prince, were equals to each other. Though Jonathan would naturally look to the crown as his right by inheritance, his friendship did not waver before Davidys claim to it. And when the death of Saul and Jonathan left David an almost clear path to the throne, he mourned bitterly for his friend. History is full of friendships such as theirs, of men who have loved one another to the complete forgetfulness of self, yet whose love lasted because it went deeply through their mind and hearts to their very souls. From friendship of this sort there is but a step to the ideal. Of this ideal there is no question as the world's greatest Friend Himself ex- pressed it, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friendf' Most of us are not called upon to carry out our friendship thus far, but others have accomplished this ideal, that we are undobutedly capable of doing what others have done is to our eternal glory. fl THE ARXALMA bi' lll llllll lllillll Illllllll I I Illlllll I lllll I III!IIIII1IIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII llllllllll llllll!

Qften one is compelled to leave the broad highway and to take some obscure back road. At such times we try to forget our bumping, jolting journey by keeping in mind the vision of that new road now being built. Wfe realize that the hardships of a detour mean improvement on the main road. But after the new road is finished, what will happen? A Haw will be found in some spot, or a new and better method of road-building will be discoveredg and then the road will be torn up and built anew. Any road is always an unfinished task. On every side new, unfinished tasks present themselves: new structures are being built, or old ones are being torn down. Everywhere society recognizes the possibility for improvements and strives to make its work more nearly perfect. Movement, life, and progress accompany every unfinished task. The first step toward betterment is the recognition of the possibility for im- provement. XVe must not necessarily find a Haw in our workg we may merely discover a better way of doing our task. XVhichever is the case. we should then seize upon this better method. XVhen we call a task finished we do no more work, we stand still: and so we are left behind by the moving world. China is a good example of this sort of retrogression. At one time China was the most progres- sive nation in the world. From China came our first gunpowder. our first paper, and our first silk. Then, at the height of her prosperity, China became self- satistied. Her attitude was well represented by a statue in one of her temples. In the statue are shown three monkeys, one stopping its ears, another covering its eyes, and a third holding shut its mouth. The people of China heeded the mes- sage of the statue. They heard no evil, saw no evil, and spoke no evil, but as a result they corrected no wrongs. ln this way China was left behind by advancing civilization. Her progress ended as soon as she regarded her task as finished. Let us not follow this example. Let us not, like the monkeys of China, hold shut our ears. eyes, and mouth to evil, or, like China, we too will be surpassed by our progressive competitors. Rather let us recognize our tasks as unfinished and set out to better our conditions. This evening we are in a position dangerously provocative of self-satisfaction. W'e are ending our high school careers. At this point in their lives many call their task of education finished. He who does so is doomed to failure. Education never ceases. Every experience gives us the opportunity for learning. Many of us will go on to college, but more of us will now cease our schooling and take our places in the working world. NVhichever we do, we must not call our education completedg instead, we must ever consciously search for more knowledge, more lightf, VVe must accept our present information not as the finished product, but merely as a detour which will carry us to the highway of broader and fuller knowledge. lt is only in this way that we will be able to keep pace with 1ife,s procession and to increase our service to humanity. Someone has said: 'flt is not what we think we are, but what we think, we aref, NVhat we think, our ideals, determines our character. If our character is to be progressive, our ideals must remain always unfinished, always moving for- ward. As we attain one goal there should always be another to beckon us on. 88 THE ARXALMA IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIII IIIIIIII IIII IIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIII!IIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Ill Illlllllllllllllllllll II IIIIIII In this way our very souls will be growing ever larger. VVe will be experiencing what Holmes meant when he said: Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length are free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea ! In this way our character will be always growing. NVe will be better able to cope with life's problems if we keep before us the ideal of the unfinished task. In the past many enterprises have been begun. In science, in philosophy, in literaturez in fact, in every field of human activity many marvels have been wrought. The electric light, the airplane, and the radio are all examples of ideals successfully realized. Yet, though much has already been done, even more re- mains unlinished. Humanity is still prey to disease, hatred, and wars. There are still many challenging mysteries in the scientific world. The end is not yet. The scroll of life is still unwinding before us. Life is an unfinished task. It is this challenge of the unfinished task which Life now presents to us, the graduates of Reading High School. Our task is to act tomorrow what we learn today, to perceive the work to be done, and then to apply our efforts to the needs of mankind. To us the world issues a challenge to complete the unfin- ished tasks of lifeg the world invites us to participate in the realization of its dream of a heaven on earth. . -Q.i1. ESSAY ulvlassachusettsi part in the American Revolutioni' Miss Henrietta K. Ahrens CIQ28 Junej won the D. A. R. essay prize contest, using the above topic as her theme. There follow several outstanding paragraphs from her essay: Along about the spring of '75 Gage felt his position growing more and more difficult. He had been ordered to capture and deport the patriot leaders, Adams and Hancock, to England for trial. Now it happened that these two were at that time sojourning near Lexington. Gage saw his opportunity of hitting the two proverbial birds by marching to Concord to destroy the colonists' stores there and capturing Adams and Hancock on the way. Towards dark on April 18, the secret patrol, walking the streets, saw that the troops were moving towards the back bay. Vtfarren was at once informed of the affair. Learning part of the British plans through some servant, he sent XVilliam Dawes to ride, by way of Roxbury, to Lexington and Revere to ride bv way of Charleston, that they might warn the people. Revere realized that once the expedition should start, no messengers would be allowed to leave the city. So he decided to row over to Charleston, where he would wait until a friend, whom he had instructed, should hang lanterns in the Qld North Towereone of the British had departed by land, two if they had left by sea. In the darkness of the midnight hours the anxious man stood beside his pawing horse, eager to be off. For hours, it seemed to him, he strained his eyes to see the warning beacon.

For one second only he looked to make sure that there was but one light, then he leaped to his horse and was off to warn 'every Middlesex village and town' that the regulars were coming. In the pretty little village of Lexington, during the early morning hours, all was confusion and disturbance. Horsemen came dashing into town from all points in various degrees of dress and excitement. Drums were beating, rumbling, calling men to armsg children were crying, being thus rudely awakened in the midst of the night, the church bells began to tollg a fire in the distance lit up the sky.

There follow several of her most signiticant paragraphs: It was Franklin, and no other, who was the journalist, printer, swimmer, publisher, author, statesman, diplomat, linguist, scientist, mathematician, man of letters, art connoiseur, free thinker, inventor, philosopher, and public-spirited citizen that was mentioned in each of the above incidents, and he was, besides, the foremost American economist. His accomplishments are even more remarkable when we consider the age in which Frankln lived. That was some two hundred odd years ago at the very birth of the United States. England may have had their Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton, France her Villon, Rabelaisand, Voltaire, but America was a crude, new land faced with a struggle for bare existence made harder by the unreasonable de- mands of the country whose colony she was, and very few were the Americans who thought of art or literature, to say nothing of the vast, practically unexplored field of science. It is Franklin's remarkable foresight, energy and insight that Phila- delphia has to thank for the innumerable improvements, institutions, and organi- zations of which he was the originator. The services he rendered America by the distinguished handling of his French and English missions prove him to be the greatest of American diplomats and a hero of the American Revolutionary Vtfar. His scientific experiments, theories, and discoveries broke the path through the unexplored jungle of knowledge that such modern geniuses as Einstein and Edison have followed. Any one of these feats would have marked Franklin down in history as a great man, but to be a genius in each field is so marvelous, so astounding that few people know much about him at all, but say, in all good faith when his name is mentioned, Oh, yes!

Robert Henelfinger Mr. Robert F. Arnold The boys on the Red and Black staff were selected during the last term of our Junior year, while we were yet at the old Boys' High. The faculty elected the editor-in-chief and the advertising manager from the several candidates pro- posed for each position. The remainder of the staff was elected by the class. XVhen we started our career as seniors in our new school, the girls, of course, had to elect their half of the staff. The election was held soon after we started the school year. Several vacancies occurred in the boys' staff, which were filled at an election in the music room. The staff began work on the paper in our iirst semester here, while we were still the Junior,' staff. XVe put out several issues of the paper, one of which was the commencement issue, describing the graduation exercises of the 1928 Feb. Class. XVe took complete charge of the paper after the graduation of the 1928 Feb. Class. Their staff had set a good record in publishing the Red and Black, and we determined to keep up the good work, and even better it, if possible. The paper has been published every Friday, except when vacations interfered, and has compared favorably with the publication of other schools. Our task is finished now, and we let the 1929 Feb. staff take it up where we left mf. VVe know they will do their best to keep up the high standard of the Red and Black. 92 THE ARXALMA lllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIlllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HI-Y CLUB Pl'CSlllCI'ltfJ0l1Il Tyson 'l'reasurer-Fred YVeiler Vice-P1'esidentfEdward Rick Faculty Advisor-'Miz VVarren Gish Secretary-NVendell Coblentz Y. M. C. A. Advisor'-Mr. Redstone The present term has been the best that the club has enjoyed for some time. The interest in the meetings has been well sustained. This is all the more com- mendable when we consider the fact that our meetings begin at 6.15, and so many of our members, who are out for track and base ball, must hurry back from George Field to be in time for the opening of the meeting. The club has been very fortunate in having obtained Rev. Daniel VVetzel to address the boys on some subjects of vital concern. After the opening ot the discussion, the boys are given the privilege of asking questions and of taking part in the round table talks. lVe are looking forward to the completion of the new Y. M. C. A. building. The club has been assured a fine room in which to hold its meetings. In order to establish a fund to equip the room in a fitting manner, the members of the Hi-Y Club undertook the sale of berets and Udinksy' among the boys of the school. The fellows co-operated splendidly. Graduation in June will thin our ranks, and we will be compelled to recruit new strength from the lower classmen to carry on the high standards of the Hi-Y so that the good influence of this or- ganization may be felt in school and community both now and in years to come.

During the past year the orchestra has played several engagements, which were enjoyed and praised by the audience. During music week, which occurs annually, our orchestra gave a special symphony concert, which was well attended. The work done at that concert was commended by Readings prominent and leading musicians. Mr, Smith deserves a great deal of credit for building up such a tine organization from nearly all green material. lt is his plan to train the orchestra to such an extent that next year a repre- sentative, or representatives, may be sent to the National High School Orchestra, which holds a concert annually, and is made up of the best High School players in the United States.

Beside filling their regular league schedule, which included contests with Easton, Allentown, and Norristown, the debating teams also participated in a dual debate with Allentown l'rep, and a triangular affair with XVilliam Penn and Hazleton. From the viewpoint of victories, the season was fairly successful. Although they did not win the league championship, our teams held their own in every con- test. Indeed, it may even be claimed that they did better than that, for, although every debate was divided, Reading was almost always ahead in judges' ballots. This year's debating team, however, did more than win victories. They firmly established debating as a feature of life at Reading High. They made the student body realize that there is such a thing as a debating team, and then demonstrated the value to be gained by such contests. The feature of the season was the debate with Allentown. This contest was a league contest, and the question, which was, Resolved, That a High Protective Tariff as a Permanent Policy Promotes the Best Interests of the United States, was the oiiicial question of the Ursinus Debating League. This debate, which was the first to be held before the student body of this school, aroused great interest and helped establish debating in the school. Another significant feature about the popularity of debating is the large number of students who came out for it against one or more rivals. The follow- ing students wrote speeches and received training from either Mr. Brillhart, who coaches the affirmative team, or from' the negative coach, Mr. Mood: Edna Hess, Estelle Sulman, Josephine Eisenhauer, Carl Seidel, Norman Hangen, John Tyson, Herbert Zable, George Brumbach, John NVink, Richard Hofses, Carl Sands, Joseph Haage, Paul Althouse, and Fred VVeiler. Next year four of these, John VVink, Carl Sands, Paul Althouse, and Fred Wleiler, will remain, and these will form the nucleus for future contests.

This group has appeared in public twice-before the Rotarians and in a music week prograiniscoring a well-earned success each time. Much credit is due to Miss Shearer, under whose able leadership progress has been very rapid.

Each one of the abc, Je plays a part in the life of each girl, and if she is human she will be fond of these, a few of the Girl Reserves activities. Girl Reserves gives you more than any other organization. It challenges each one. She must, and will, have higher ideals, a clear mind, and will look upon life with a broader vision. In june many of the most active Girl Reserves members are graduating. ln fact, the best must leave. Thus by you joining now, you will help to organize a new club.

Miller Vic'e-President, Elijah Hale Secretary, Gerald Boyer Treasurer, George Heckinzin Faculty Advisor, Mr. J. Herbert Kissinger The members of the Electrical lfxperimenters' Club have shown a great deal of interest in short wave reception and transmitting. The club has built a short wave receiver and is lending it out to its members. Each member has the use of the set at least three nights. This has caused several boys to start to build short wave sets and practice receiving and transmitting code between fellow members in the club. At present there are no duly government licensed operators in the school, and we hope to develop several operators so as to operate the school trans- mitter which will be completed by next fall. Vtfe have heard from other schools in liastern Pennsylvania which are desirous of communicating with us via radio. Mr. Kissinger, our faculty advisor, has encouraged and given excellent advice to the members concerning radio and electricity. The club had many interesting talks and demonstrations, including talks on Principles of Radio, How and NVhy of the Vacuum Tube, 'tThe Spark Coil, Geissler Tubes, and Static lllectricityf, The feature talk and demonstration was High Frequency Elec- tricity and Phenomenal' by our President. 98 T H E A R X A L M A llllllllllllllllllllllll llll Illllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIllIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIllIllIIllIIIlIlllllllllllllllllllllll I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lllll THURSDAY PHILOS President, John Wink Treasurer, Tliornas Bucher Secretary, Edward Rick Advisor, Mr. Thomas BV. Sin-ythe Varied programs marked the work of the Thursday Philos during the past semester. The majority of the meetings were discussions of topics of general interest. Qften heated arguments ensued as a result of differences in opinion. Religion, law, and theories of evolution were a few of the outstanding ones. At one meeting the club assumed the garb of a court, and a mock trial was held. Efforts were made to reproduce a Senate meeting, and a few bills of school in- terest were instituted. The club held a doggie roast with its sister club, the Wednesday group. As an epitome of its work, the club took charge of an as- sembly program on May 18, depicting the various phases of literary work- declamations, orations, recitations, and debating.

B. Smytlie The Vfednesday Philos is one of the most active societies of our school in the field of literature. Our aim is to keep up with the times, not only in literary productions, but in various works that embody taste, feeling, thought, purity, and beauty, as poetry, history, fiction, and dramatic compositions. In addition to this, We advance with the World of progress on the various current topics of the day. Debates are one of our greatest accomplishments, for We debate on anything that can be argued with a person about a subject, we debate for and against a statement or opiniong we argue a person into or out of a course of action, and, in fact, by the time we get out of the Philos we have learned to debate. ,Some of our more illustrious members sometimes deliver declamations and orations to us. This alone proves the activeness of our members. At least once a term we are recognized by others by being given charge of an assembly program. Therefore, We hope our Wednesday Philos will continue as an inspiration and manifestation of high artistic achievement in literature in the future as it has in the past. 100 THE ARXALMA llllllllllllllllllllllll lillllllllllllllll Illl ll I Illlll IIIIIIIIIIIlIIllIlIIllIII!IIIIIIllIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll I IIIIIIIIIlIIIIIlIIlllIlIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllli TRAVEL, NEEDLE, TRAVEL, CLUB President, Pauline Schlegel Secretary, Ruth VVeiss Vice-President, Catherine John Treasurer, Ada Hughes Advisor, Miss Martha V.

Every girl has had a chance to participate on the program. Jokes, stories, poems, book reviews, current topics and sketches were presented during this period. Victrola records, brought by some girls, were played. At the end of the period the roll was called, to which each member responded with some proverb. While the program is in progress, every girl is occupied with some sort of needlework, which consists of crocheting, darning, embroidering, sewing, and other forms of handicraft. The Credit Committee has given credits for finished work and for participa- tion on the program some time or other.

Credit was given for this work. In the club meetings books, found entertaining by the different members, were discussed with the view of interesting the rest of the club in reading them. Among those reviewed were The Moonstone, by Collins, Kathleen, by Morley, The Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, by Mark Twain, and The Casting Away of Mrs. Lecks and Mrs. Aleshine, by Stockton. From a playlet, entitled Exit Miss Lizzie Cox, presented by the club, the value of Bibliotherapeutics was re- vealed. Miss Lizzie Cox was the librarian of the Nuttville Public Library, and the leading character in this tragedy, Dr. Kurall, headed the Nuttville Bibliopathic Sanitarium, where he administered books in large and small doses to the sick of Nuttville. 102 THE ARXALMA IIIIIIIIIIIIII Il IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIII I I lllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllll Illllllllll Illllllllll II II IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ll l i l 1 , : Xu , J - 1 K ,,x A K , .sry GIRLS' GLEE CLUB President, Ethel Althouse Secretary, Verna A. ltickenbaeh Vice-President, Bettie VVanner '1lI'CilSlll'CI', Kathryn Meter Faculty Advisor, Miss Anna M.

Tuesday, April 24, the club contributed Reveries to the interesting program given for the Rotary Club. V The club took an active part in the celebration of Music Week. Everyone is working conscientiously in order to keep up the reputation they made during the previous year.

The club also was interested in other activities pertaining to dramatics. Mov- ing pictures were reviewed, the contrast between movies and the legitimate stage discussed, and an informal debate on Resolved, That VVar Pictures Help Pre- vent War, was held. The club elected to give certificates for participation in the activities, and decided to get a special club pin made. VVe have also branched out into social activities.

Scott Once more the curtain falls on another successful season of the Zelosophic Literary Society. The Zelos is one of the few societies that has continued from the High School for Boys. The name of this organization has a very interesting definition-that of zealous workers. The purpose of the Zelos has always been to encourage a training in the fields of literary work, to develop public speaking ability, to acquire the proper form for class recitations, and to present good arguments for debated questions. Due largely to the eiiiciency of the Program Committee, varied and interest- ing meetings were enjoyed by all. The Credit Committees function is to give units to all members who take an active part in this society. V Something that has heretofore not occurred is that of criticism. Each mem- ber is appointed a certain meeting and criticizes the speaker. This enables the student to pick out and learn the criticism. A great deal of credit must be extended to our faculty advisor, Mr. Scott, because of the whole-heartedness that he has shown in his attitude toward this society. VVe congratulate the members of the Zelos for the splendid showing which they have made this semester, and hope that they will continue to make such in the future. 108 THE ARXALMA llllllllllllllllll Illl llllil Illlllll I III Il II I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllll STAMP AND COIN CLUB President, Paul Althouse Secretary, Jan Dielnian Vice-President, Rau Koenig Treasurer, Robert Hinkley Faculty Advisor, Mr. Carl L.

A small part of all meetings is given over to talks on stamps, among which are articles on new issues, value and importance of being stamp collectors, and how to make collections. The majority of the period is used in the trading and buying of stamps, which creates the most interest among the members. An innovation was suggested and successfully operated, that of stamp auctions. Four exceptional auctions were managed by several of the club members. A stamp catalog and a coin catalog were purchased, while subscriptions to two of the world's leading stamp magazines were renewed. Ap- proximately six novel contests were held during the past term, the prizes being different sets of stamps. Hundreds of stamps were bought and donated to the club for the club album, which at present contains about 2,000 different stamps from all countries. One remarkable coin meeting was held, at which time elab- orate displays of coins and bills from all parts of the world were shown. Speeches concerning how coins are obtained a11d well kept and the variable weights of coins were rendered by the coin enthusiasts. All persons interested in stamps or coins, no matter how great or small your collections may be, are urged to enroll.

Uibel The Senior High School Science Club has had many interesting and instruc- tive sessions, in which topics of the major sciences were explained and demon- strated by members of the Club. VVe endeavored, during the past season, to ex- plain the more simple phrases of the sciences, and this has been accomplished through the excellent co-operation of the members with the various committees. The demonstrations were supplemented with lectures and discussions on various scientific subjects. One of the first demonstrations given was an interesting experiment with electricity. The violet ray was demonstrated, and then the properties of elec- tricity were shown by means of passing an electrical current through Geissler tubes, which were filled with various gases. At a later meeting a lecture on the newly-discovered cosmic ray was given, a recent addition to the realms of the higher physics. The character of the fol- lowing meetings was changed, and the chemistry of iron and steel was discussed by means of three lectures by members. Subsequent meetings treated upon the major points of botany, biology, and geology, thus affording the club members a general knowledge of science, which is becoming so indispensable to modern life. 110 THE ARXALMA' IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII Illl II IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I Illlll Illllll llllll I I III N.

The club consists of nineteen members, and these members conduct all meetings. The topics chosen are as- signed two weeks ahead of time. So far the club has been very successful, and a radio set has already been built. The functions and hook-up of the set was fully discussed. Since the club's first meeting this term, the following subjects were discussed by the different members: Electrical condensers, vacuum tubes, measure of re- sistance, high frequency currents, telegraph electrical disintegrator, spark trans- mitter, functions of the storage battery, radio trouble shooting, three types of radios. Some other topics foreign to radio, but found to be very interesting, are: Elec- tric sparks, electriscope, electrical arc lamps, mercury arc, the electrolysis of solu- tions, and a debate on the question, Resolved, That Chain Stations Should be Abolishedf' The topics that were mentioned related to their origin, history, functioning, and the men that helped bring them to perfection. The purpose of the club is to give to the fellow pupils of the school a knowl- edge of the functions and care of a radio.

The range has been from comedy, to melodrama, to tragedy. The members who contributed most faithfully to the enjoyment of the group by their share in dramatizations were Grace Baer, XValter Herver, Charles Meter, William Odum, VVilliam Hartman, Mary Zerbe, and Eugene Blumberg. On the First evening program of one-act plays given in this school by the English department, the club was represented by Grace Baer and Eugene Blumberg, who had leads in Miss Civilization, and by VVellington Goodman in The Welsh Honeymoon. Important dramatization of stories and poems was done skillfully by Frances Ammon, Vtfalter Herner, Claire Christman, and Mary Zerbe. Sylvia Daniels, Evelyn Hufman, and Bettie XVanner were always ready with recitations. Ar- ticles of current interest on actors, acting, and the cinema were presented by Virginia Arnold, Katharine Harger, and Wellington Goodman. 114- THE ARXALMA IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Ill IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lllllllllllIIIIlllllllIIIIlllllIlllllllllllllllIIIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII llll IIIIIIIIIIIII lllllllllllllll I Illlllll ll CO-ED CHORUS President, Joseph Haage Secretary, Katharine Houser .

Designed to instill in the hearts of its members a love and appreciation for good music, it has, during the past years, achieved its purpose admirably. Under the able leadership of Miss Shearer, the chorus Weekly rehearses various seasonal and miscellaneous songs. Thus far this group has been very successful, having sung several times in assembly, and, at the beginning of the term leading the school in singing at our Friday assemblies. The various committees of the club-Press and Credits Committees-as well as the librarians, deserve much credit for the good work they have done during the past school semester. The Co-ed Chorus promises Well to continue in future years the good work it has done during this one.

Here we first hold our business meeting and then listen to the interesting programs which are arranged every week by the Program Committee. We have, indeed, had a very interesting time this term, and now wish to thank the members who gave their individual attention and co-operation. The purpose of this club is to give the pupils a chance to widen their knowl- edge of the camera and photography and of interesting uses to which photography has been applied. Among the many very interesting topics which were discussed we had dis- cussions on the manufacture of a film, and all the processes involved up to the time that we have the dry printed picture. There were also discussions of how to take a reel picture, how to take accurate time pictures, and the simple and complex cameras. But, of course, this is not all we dog we listen to short stories and illustrated lectures. VV e show our skill by having contests for the best pictures. The first of these was of our school building, while others have included the best bird pic- tures and wild flowers. These pictures are then placed in an album, which was presented to the club by one of the members. 116 '1' H li A R X A L M A IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII llll Ill Il IIIII Illlllll Il IllllIIIIllllIlllIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I Illlllllllllllllllllllll II I AVIATION CLUB President, Miller Secretary, S.

At the hrst meeting the members were asked what they wished to do in the club. Construct airplanes and have talks on aviation, was the reply. After having become organized, the club started on their real job-to construct models of airplanes. After three months of hard work on the models, some of them were completed. The club enjoyed a few talks by Mr. Gill and the members. These talks were both instructive and amusing. Another great project which the club intends to take up is to visit the 'Whander Field. A cordial invitation has been tendered the club by the officials of XVhander Field to come out to the field and be shown around. On the 25th of May the club was honored by having Mr. Bigony, a licensed pilot, give us a talk on aviation, his experiences, and the differi- ent uses of the instruments in a plane. The club enjoyed Mr. Bigony's talk very much and hopes to be honored in the near future by having him with uspagain.

In the meantime a large number of reports were given, covering the Italian, French and early American painters. The Hen Johnston Annual Art Competition was one of the interesting fea- tures of the club, and several of the club members received prizes and honorable mention. Poster designs were entered in the following classes: Community Chest, Thrift and Reading Museum and Art Gallery. The clubs have also planned for an informal Tea Exhibition to be tendered the members of our faculty and their families. The Annual Art Exhibit will be arranged by the clubs. A play, Art, Where Art Thou ? was prepared and presented during this semester. The clubs have endeavored to bring art to the attention of the public as much as possible. Another of the undertakings of the clubs has been the decoration of the two cafeterias, for which they have painted several pictures and ornamental panels. 118 THE ARXALMA Illllllllllllll Illllllllllll Illlllllllllllllllllll III Illllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I IIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I Illllll THE FLYING FINGERS President, Bonnilyn Brownell Secretary, Mary Moore Vice-President, Frances Zarnecki Treasurer, Ella Neihart Faculty Advisor, Miss Elizabeth E.

Runyeon The Red Penn Club has had a very busy time this term in getting out its issues of the school magazine. In the beginning of the term we had several in- teresting programs, but we soon had to get down to the business of preparing the magazine for the press. Innumerable poems, short stories, and jokes were handed in by our club members with the kind help of several of the faculty of the English department. All of these had to be read over, discussed and criticized. Next came the making of the proof and dummy. The proof was soon returned and all were busy proof- reading. VVe have had many contributors this term. Some of the most outstanding are: Erma Snyder, Lenora Levin, Kathryn Deisher, Harry Glover, Harry Schneiderman, Josephine NVyroba, Edward Youngerman, Mirian Fenstermacher, and Dorothy Lentz. Several of the girls, pictures were published in the Public Ledger and Inquirer. There are not only the contributors and general workers, but also a very important business end handled by Mary Bitler. But we all agree that without the untiring help of our club advisor, Miss Runyeon, we would not have accomplished what we have. The Red Pen Club would like to express its deep appreciation to all the teach- ers and pupils who have helped us to make our school magazine a success. 120 THE ARXALMA IlllllllIllIllllllllllIIIIIIIIllllIllllllllllllllllllll IlIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIllIIIIIIIIlIIIIIlIlI 1 - s.

The aim of the club is to develop and stimulate an interest in the various types of needlework and busy themselves with the kind they found most fascinating. - The Program Committee, Mildred Powers, Anna Hassler, and Leona Deibert, were untiring in their efforts in furnishing entertainment for the club. Among the interesting features were recitations, jokes, and the reading of short stories and plays by members in the club. The accomplishments in needlework were aprons, pillows, towels, bridge sets, luncheon covers, and handkerchiefs.

Then, there is a pensiveness in the gaze that rests on father as daughter speculates on how heavily she may levy on the family pocketbook. During the spring term the Peacocks have read the Paris news letters, diligently thumbed the fashion magazines, and brought ingenuity to bear on weighty problems of dress. Ging- hams, dimities, organdies, silks have been transformed into marvels of utility or daintiness, each after its kind.

H. S. Dramatists for the term just com- pleted. The members have joined whole-heartedly into the work at hand, partic- pating in any part of the program of each meeting when called upon to do so with a cheerfulness and earnestness which may well justify the success of the group as a dramatic organization. The receptive attitude displayed by every member of the society toward the weekly programs has been truly creditable, and has em- bodied in it a desire and pleasure on the part of every member for dramatic work and endeavor. The programs, on the whole, consisted of plays, monologues, recitations, char- acter singing, and open forum discussions, scattered with various types of games and general good humor. Varied at all times, the programs were ever interesting and allowed the participation of every member. Some of the most popular plays presented in our club were: The Kelly Kid. by Kathleen Norris, Meredew's Right Hand, by A. Hamilton Gibbsg A Pre- vious Fngagementf' by Percival Wildsg Peggy, by Rachel Crothers: The Closetf' by D. F. Halman, and Grandma Pulls the String, by Edith B. Delano. A great deal of the success of the organization can be justly accredited to the splendid supervision and co-operation of its advisor, Mr. Mohn. The sincere appreciation of the club for his able work is extended to him at this time.

Besides these productions, various current plays were reviewed and other selections were presented. The club, as a whole, has been doing fine work, and there is promise of a better future. It is a practically new club, and has already taken such large strides in ad- vancement that we have great hopes for its success. 124- THE ARXALMA IIlII!llII'lIl llllllll lllll IIIIII IIIIXII IIIIIIIIIIIIIII ll I llllllIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllll I IIIIII lllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIII llfl III 1 , ,fi H - x, K - X UNDER COVER President, Dorothy Becker Secretary, Carl Beck Vice-President, Jack Coyle Treasurer, Ruth Black Faculty Advisor, Miss Alethia N. Love During the second term the booklovers' club, Under Cover, continued the same type of work enjoyed the previous term. Many of the upper classmen dropped out, and new members of the incoming Sophomore class brought with them many clever suggestions for club programs. Every week, at the beginning of the program, each member responded to roll call with a proverb or short poem. Following this would be a contest identifying authors and titles, authors and pictures. Several original stories were told by different membersg among these were several folk stories by Margaret O,Agostino, most unusual and very interesting. Many well-known hooks, usually selected from the home reading list, were reviewed. judging from the interest and attention shown by the club members. they were enjoyed very much. One form of story telling which never seemed to pall was for one member to start an original story, preferably one of mystery. At the most exciting part the story teller appoints another member of the club to continue the tale. At first this abrupt choice was disconcerting, but later the club members developed con- siderable skill in weaving the most fantastic yarns with a hint of plausibility inter- woven here and there. The material was in keeping with their name and fit to be 'KUnder Cover.

Clugston Qf all the extra curricular clubs of the school, perhaps the Spanish Club has the smallest enrollment. This is due to the small number of students who elect Spanish as a foreign language throughout their High School course. This organization, under the direction of Mr. Carl Clugston, decided to sail under the same colors as the previous club. The outstanding purpose of this club was to give students of Spanish an opportunity to acquire greater ease in the use of the language. The success of the club was due to the co-operation of every member with their faculty advisor. The meetings were conducted entirely in Spanish. Meetings were opened with the reading of the Bible, and Lord's Prayer in Spanish. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and roll call taken. Each member responded with the name of a Spanish city, country, man, etc. After this, reports were given on Spanish countries, descriptions of these countries, products, and topics of such nature. A few short Spanish plays were given by the members. They are looking forward to a bigger and better club next year. Spanish students are urged to join this club because of the benefit they receive by doing so. 126 THE ARXALMA lllllllllllllllllllll IIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII I I IllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH Illlllllllllllllll I II Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Ill I PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB President, Edna Hess Secretary, NVellington Goodman Vice-President, John XVink 'I'1'easurer, Fred XVeile1' Faculty Advisor, Mr. Raymond Y. Mood Although the Public Speaking Club is the youngest onef' being only one year old, it is thriving remarkably on its good food, which consists of not only infant's pap, but also food fit for a king. The menu is carefully planned by a live group of supporters and hard work- ers. They know exactly what they would like to eat and do during their club session, and so the menu, alias program, is planned at the beginning of each semester. The planning, at this time, is only recorded by the main points. The Program Committee, then meets at the Reading Public Library every Saturday morning from 9.00 o'clock to at least II.3O o'clock. Here every little detail is carefully planned-from the reading of the Scripture to the arguing of who will make the best critic for the next meeting. They choose those members who are able to successfully act as a critic, because they feel that a good critic is our most valuable club asset. Each meeting is conducted on the contest basis. The winner is judged on his delivery, material, and organization of material. Among our interesting programs were an Instruction Day, Declamation Day, Humor Day, Oratorical Day, Impromptu Day, Dramatic Day, Best Speech Day, Debate, and finally, perhaps the best of all, We had Great Orator's Day, in which the Winners of each meeting competed. We invite you to join our club if you are willing to consecrate yourself and time to the pursuance of a better club. To the members of the Class of IQ28 June we extend our best wishes. Much credit is due to Mr. Mood, our advisor, who founded those high goals which we strove for.

Many of our members learned new plain and fancy stitches in embroidery, knitting, crochet- ing, and tatting. Many dainty hankies, towels, centre pieces, luncheon sets, scarfs, and other articles too numerous to mention were completed while we chatted merrily with our neighbors about what we had done since our last meeting. At all meetings a special effort was made to create, as nearly as possible, a home-like atmosphere. At times a member read aloud from some entertaining book or magazine, or retold a humorous anecdote, while the others worked. Now and then records of worthwhile musical compositions were played on the victrola. 128 THE ARXALMA lllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lllllllllllllllllIlllIIIlllllIlllllllIIIllllllllllllIlllIllllllllinllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll THE PLAY SHOP President, Herbert Grollman Secretary, Virginia VVray Vice-President, Mary Billuian Treasurer, Betty Bernlieiser Faculty Advisor, Mr. xvllllfllll L.

Each individual is deriving a real value from The Playshopf' in that every member is given a part in some presentationg and the varieties offered enable the individual to show in what he excels. Splendid programs are enjoyed at every meeting because the club members have manifested their interest and co-operation in these programs. Every mem- ber of the club has taken part in some presentation-monologue, humorous char- acterization or the portrayal of serious characterg and all have been capably handled. Some of the longer plays presented are The VVelsh Honeymoon, a play in 'VVelsh dialectg i'She Stoops to Conquer, an English comedy of the Eighteenth Centuryg Six Cups of Chocolate, a play with an entire feminine cast, was pre- sented by the girls of the club. Open forum discussions have been held on two occasions, in which the work of the stage actor and the moving picture actor was discussed. Recitations by individuals have occupied a part of each program. All the members of the club are of the opinion that this was a very successful and beneficial term.

At the first meeting of the club, oihcers were elected and committees ap- pointed. The Press Committee reported our activities to the Red and Black staft. The Credits Committee saw that proper credit was given each speaker. The Program Committee, under the leadership of George Dunkelberger, provided an interesting program of talks and demonstrations. Some of the topics presented by the club members were: The Development and Printing of Pictures, The History of Photography, Silhouettes, and How to Make Them, and The Pro- fessional Finishing Housef' In connection with the regular meetings, a picture contest was opened to club members, the winner of the contest to receive a prize at the end of the term. Another interesting feature of the term's work was the criticism of several pictures at each meeting. By noting the mistakes in other pictures we could increase our own ability to take better pictures. I This term was interesting, but next term will be more so because of the ex- perience gained in this term's work. Let's see all students interested in photog- raphy become members of the Iris Club. 130 THE ARXALMA lllllllllllllll IlllllllllllllllllllllllII Ill Il IIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIII!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ll IIIIIIIIIIII Illllllllll ll IIIIIIIIIIIII I JUST BE NATURAL CLUB President, Robert Heath Secretary, Erma Lesher Vice-President, Evelyn Moll Treasurer, Adele Fisher Faculty Advisor, Miss Schmidt The purpose of the 4'-lust be Natural Club during the term has been to give the students a broader knowledge of music on the whole. The programs were arranged accordingly-so as to discuss something different each week. During the term three operas were discussed, two of which were composed by VVagner. They were Parsifal, Siegred,', and William Tell. Different persons reviewed the lives of Mozart, Hayden, Wagner, and Rossini, and then records were played illustrating their compositions. We had charts illustrating musical instruments, and then played records so we could identify each instrument. During .Pennsylvania Week we discussed various phases of Pennsylvania's Music, and studied the lives and works of Pennsylvania musicians, some of which were Ethelbert Nevin, Paul Althouse, Stephen Foster, and Cadman. i. ,T..L.

Literary responses to roll call, biographies and stories of such writers as Shakespeare, Tennyson, Louisa Alcott, and many others kept us in touch with the good things in literature, while book reports on the newer fiction helped us become acquainted with novelists of our own day. Besides these numerous book reviews, an opportunity was also given each member to prove his or her originality in the short story contest. Such titles as A Trip to Venice and Lifes Unfolding Experiences of the Qctopedasaurusu were quite skillfully treated-but the judges finally awarded the first prize to The Emerald Mine, by Allen Gartman, and second prize to The Gold Arrow, by Brooks Yeager. Our cirulating library has been even more popular than last term, and we were particularly pleased to have the students in other classes interested enough to ask to tafle out our books in the intervals between meetings.

Under the able coaching of John Dietrich, Reading developed into the best scoring machine in the league with an average of 49 points per game. Too much cannot be said of our captain, Muck VVickel, who led the Central Pennsylvania League in individual points with 247. Nittinger, another of Read- ing High's stars, was third with 189 points. The Reading High Reserves also had a successful year under Coach Bannon, winning 18 out of 21 games. XVith only a few of the team graduating, there is a splendid nucleus for an even greater and better basket ball season next year. 134.

Holl In spite of the loss of several good men last year, the track team has been very successful this year. Most of the green material of last year has developed into a very good team. Again it can be said that the strength of the team has increased with each succeeding meet. The iirst event of the season was the inter-class championship. '28 June won this after being given a hard fight by '31 Feb. The first meet of importanse was a dual meet with llfilliamson School. It was in a driving rain, and, as a result, several events were called off. NVilliamson won 49 to 41. In the Penn Relays at Philadelphia, the mile relay team again placed fourth. In the inter-scholastics at Coaldale and Lehigh University, the team had stilfer competition and only garnered a few points in each meet. The first victory for the team was when they had a dual meet with the Hill School Juniors. Reading scored 55 points and Hill 55 points. F. 8: M. Inter-scholastic Meet, held at Lancaster, Reading tied with Ta- maqua for the Class A point cup, 20 points each. 136 THE ARXALMA llllllllllllllllllll llllllll lllll lllllllllllllll lllllllllllIllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllllIll'llllIllllllI lllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll FOOT UA LI , '1'1'I.'XM THE ARXALMA 13 l lllllll Illllllllllll lllllllllllllll llllllllll IlllllllIIIllIIIIIllIIIIIllIIIIIllIIllIllIlilIllIIllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllII lllllllllllllll II llllllllll llllllllllllll lllll I Illlllllll FOOT BALL Coach, John Dietrich Assistant Coach, Russell C.

The team, however, played under a great mental handicap all season with the fatal loss of Captain Stark, who was killed in an automobile accident on the eve of the opening schedule. Under Coach Dietrich, every player learned to be a clean-cut athlete, and each player was taught the value of fighting to the last minute. Again their team spirit enabled them to conquer their bitterest opponent, Lebanon High. It was not until the last few minutes of play that the Lebanon opponents scored on our team. XYith a wealth of material left over, next year should usher in a very successful season.

Although they didn't win every game, they have put up a great light in all of them. Coach Dietrich has developed several good pitchers, and with the backing of the team they have breezed through a very profitable season. There will be plenty of ma- terial left for a championship team next year. . ,- Q --.,m VARSITY MEN OF '28 JUNE Base Ball-Charles Carabello. Basket Ball-Lee Blyler, Joseph Flatt.

The music was furnished by the Blue and Gold Orchestra until I2 midnight. These musical artists, as they may justly be named, are, with- out doubt, the hottest jazz team ever witnessed in these halls. Another feature of this function was the decorations in the cafeteria. Hung in a unique style, the decorations of scarlet and silver, the class colors, caused many a comment to pass from lip to lip. On each side of the cafeteria and from above, spotlights of scarlet and silver were placed. The spotlights were played on the dancers, who moved like shadows on the floor beneath. For those who did not wish to miss this social event, but did not care to dance, card tables were placed in the teachers' cafeteria, where many a spirited and enjoyable game took place. The dance was informal and was open only to members of the school and to the alumni, provided they came with a member of the graduating class. As early as 8.30 the guests began to stream in, and soon a large line was waiting at the door. These were welcomed by Miss Beitenman and Miss Levan, who gave each couple a beautiful dance program of scarlet and silver. with the school seal stamped on it. The couples then journeyed to the ballroom,H where, to the fascinating strains of the orchestra, they commenced dancing. To quench the thirst of the dancers, punch was served during the dance and during intermission. And was it good! Mr. Tiisenhauer and Miss Mayer, assisted by members of the faculty, acted as chaperons. The committee in charge of this event included the following: George Brunibach, chairmang john Tyson, Charles Pyewell, XVillard Fichthorn, Harold Pfreimer, Verne Bomberger, Catharine Shearer, Roberta Myers and Alice Shafer. Q, Senior Prom The ,28 june Senior Class held its Prom on Friday evening, hlune 1, IQ28, at the Senior High School. Ken Nichols and his orchestra furnished the music from 9.00 to I2 o'clock. The class colors, scarlet and silver, were used throughout in the decorations. A curtain of scarlet, with 1928 printed in silver, waved in one end of the room, while many streamers of scarlet and silver terminated at the center. The electrical lighting arrangement was particularly effective. The lights were lighted in alternate colors of red and white. To the girl students were presented small Chinese favors, consisting of a small hand-carved ivory elephant, with a little embroidered handkerchief on the reverse side of the card. The guests were received by Miss Mary H. Mayer and John H. Eisenhauer, the principals, and the members of the Prom Committee, George Brumbach, chairman, Charles Pyewell, Herbert Zable, Kenneth Dietrich, Carl Seidel, Arno Duncan, Miriam Biehl, Verne Bomberger, Josephine Eisenhauer, Evelyn Heiser, Frances Ammon, and Peninah Peters.

They rollicked with joy at the antics and tricks of their classmates. The senior class looked very snappy in their white uniforms, with scarlet trimmings, as they marched into the assembly to the strains of the school orchestra. The Seniors occupied the middle section of the assembly, making a very striking and impressive picture. After singing the class song, the Seniors were seated. The entire program was in the order of a circus, so, of course, the next thing in line was a parade. Who will ever forget the monkeys, or the elephant, or the other ferocious beasts? After the parade Herbert Zable, as the master of ceremonies, introduced Paul Vlfhite- man's celebrated band, the Smearcase Seven. After several selections from the band, the Senior quartet rendered several selections, which were well done. The official tight-rope walker of Ringling Bros' circus demonstrated her skill, while Rob Heffelfinger showed the strength of his huge muscles. A duet by the gold-dust twins was next, followed by a humorous reading. The class his- tories were then read. A string quartet, a tricycle act, freaks of various sorts were followed by the class prophecy, given by Sybil, herself, the great Latin Oracle. After the phophecy, the class orchestra entertained with several selections. Then the assembly took a serious turn. Lee Blyler, President of '28 june presented the class gift to the school, and the key of the institution to the Presidenf of the '29 February Class. After singing the school song, the Seniors marched out while the rest of the school stood at attention. This Senior Assembly was one of the best ever staged. It was unique with- out a doubt. The decorations, the balloons, and the sawdust all tended to make- the assembly reallv seem like a circus. The committee worked hard, aided bv' several teachersg and their efforts were well rewarded.
