Sometimes the path grew narrow and difficult to trace, but if we looked hard enough, we were always able to find a bit of sunshine streaming through. Now the time has come when we must leave the for- est with its kindly trees, but we will always remember our walk through the Forest of Memories at Reading High. 92250 af fafzfmfs THE ARXALMA SONG ....

S Q rx 5 , l72g3x 742 Sway Wah Fi, l Through the years the Oak tre h , es ave always been regarded as the strangest and sturdiest of all the trees They are strai ht , g , upright, and symbolic of a higher mode of living, The faculty in our school reminds us of the oak trees because it is they who are strong when we need strength, it is they who provide a firm guiding hand when we need help. .lust as the oak is indispensable for the building of durable structures, sa our faculty is vital for the development of sound spiritual and cultural values in the youth of today. As always, our teachers strive dili I gent y to instill in us the principles of tol- erance, sincerity, integrity, and leadership. i Mzcqfafk jfkssage How very fitting that your yearbook should be developed around the theme of forests, Forests, like schools, have individualities of their own, features which make each one distinct from every other one, yet all have in common some essen- tial elements and components. The distinctive feature of all forests is trees, just as the distinctive feature of all schools is students. The infinite va- riety of trees reminds one of the infinite variety of pupils, The sturdy oak, unaffected by the buffeting of wintry winds and summer storms is like the steady, plodding student who proceeds with the business at hand unaffected by the whirlwinds of controversy which characterize all human affairs. The straight-growing poplar, the graceful pine, the decorative maple all have their counterparts in a student body. Other forest features, too, have their comparables in schools, The paths striking out in various directions remind one of the numerous curricula and courses of study leading students to a variety of educational experiences, adventures, and objectives. The play of sunlight and shadow is like the constant interplay of pleasures and disappointments throughout your school days. The secluded glens and cool, inviting retreats of the forest are like the little havens of calm and peace you learned to find in school. One might continue indefinitely to point our parallels between forests and schools, but one final illustration will suffice. There is an old adage to the effect that you can't see the forest for the trees . Only an over-all view from a distant vantage point reveals the forest as an entity and submerges the individual features into a composite whole. Similarly you have been so close to your school that its individual features, rather than the school as a whole, have formed your conception of what is now your alma mater. Only a more distant vantage point, in time, will blend these specifics into a composite unity and bring to you a deeper understanding and appreciation of Reading High School. All of us join in expressing the hope that your forest adventure has been pleasant, meaningful, and valuable and the further hope that, as your school days recede into the past, you develop a conception of the wholeness of your high school and the experiences you have had there. fha- wkzcdals' This scene typifies one of the many jobs Miss Ethel M.

In addition to this good record, the team ended the season with two memorable distinctions, The first of these distinctions was its victory, for the first time in twelve years, over a powerful squad from Allentown High. Another feat of this year's squad was its victory over Central Catholic High, which made up for the set-back suffered by our team in the initial game between the two city rivals last season. The Knights of the hardwood opened the season by playing four non-Conference games before their first contest in the Central Penn Conference, Of these four games, the Reading team was victorious over Emmaus and Central Catholic, but was defeated by Bethlehem and Allentown. After these experience games, the Reading team started its first-half Central Penn Con- ference competition of which it won five and lost two to finish in second place, In the first-half they achieved victories over Steelton, Milton Hershey, Lebanon, Lancaster, and William Penn, while John Harris and York proved to be too powerful for them, Between the two halves of the Central Penn Conference, the Knights played another non-conference game with Beth- lehem which cost the Knights a stroke in the loss column. Losing a vital game to William Penn kept the Reading team from winning the second-half Central Penn Conference title and possibly winning the District No, 3 Championship as our team did last season. However, they did end in second place with a good record of 5 wins against 2 losses, They won their games against powerful teams from Steelton, John Har- ris, Hershey, Lebanon, and Lancaster, and they suffered losses from York and William Penn, The season was brought to a close with Reading staging the upset of the year by beating ci powerful team from Allentown, which broke a I2-year record. Much of the success of this year's team was due to the fine team play and accurate shooting, Gil Darlak led the team in scoring with 228 points, while runners-up, Rudy Koenig and Skip Fegley, scored 206 points and l94 points re- spectively. Coach Charley Dunkelberger is to be commended for the untiring efforts he has put forth in producing such a suc- cessful season. l 102 if 2 W ,ix - gi 5 'sq yt! z Y I si , Xi, by 'iff R, , I '26 ir -wi f 4 ief P4 ' 5f's't4T mlb fi,-...E , 45.4 t ,, . , , jf?

The Horinemen split their dual meetings with Steel- ton, William Penn, and York, while Lancaster and Lebanon each outscored the Red and Black twice, The non-league campaign concluded with a record of 3-3. The Junior Var- sity courtmen scored single victories over Emmaus, Beth- lehem, and Reading Central Catholic, but were beaten in their first encounter with Beth- lehem and twice by the Allen- town Canaries.

With this well-rounded team, coaches Dunkelberger nd Reese are almost certain to produce another winning eason and uphold the brilliant records of previous years, Ted Smith shows the fine form which has made him a top pitcher during his three years of Varsity baseball Rosy Ciatto shows great determination as he tries for a foul-fly.

Coach-Charles Hawman This season, Coach Charley Hawman will be faced with the task of rebuilding a new tennis team around Jon Ocksrider and Lester Mclviockin, who are his only varsity hold- overs from last yeor's team. The Reading team will open its twelve match schedule April l5 against a potential- ly strong team from William Penn High, ln dual meet competition, the Reading netmen will oppose teams from Wyomissing, Lancas- ter, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and Wil- liam Penn, The season will be brought to a close by the District No. 3 Matches at Lan- caster, ond the State Championship Matches at State College. Although last year's team posted a none too favorable record, this season Coach Hawman hopes to develop a championship team as he has often done in the past. Q! Coach-Mr, Adam Brucher, Jr, The l953 golf team is looking forward to improving the seasonal record of 5 wins and 6 losses posted by last year's squad. With the aid of two outstanding holdovers from the past year and promising under- classmen, Coach Adam Brucher is confident of a winning season, These two Dons, Helms and Sowers, will probably be the team's leading scorers. Because of the number of team entrees this year, the Central Penn league will be split into a Western and Eastern Division, with Reading participating in the latter, This year, Reading will again face league and non-league opponents in a tough l2 meet schedule. The District No. 3 meet this year will be held at Hershey and, as in many of the other sports at Reading High, the State Finals will be held at Penn State.

Under the close guidance 'itwi T0 THE CLASS OF '53- Never in history has mankind faced a situation which forced every person on earth to ask himself so insistently the question, How can I help to make a better world? for we know, as never before, that unless by our ioint efforts we do find a way specifically to put an end to world conflicts and their mass destructions, the human race has the possibility, and indeed the likelihood, of destroying itself, so that the choice is now between a better world or no world. The job of civilized man is not to try to suppress the growth of knowledge, but rather to exercise his intelligence, his own growth in knowledge, to stop the depredations of the destructive members of the social and political order, and at the same time to win as large a fraction of mankind as possible to the free choice of the good way instead of the evil way. lf man is to solve his most dangerous problems, if he is to achieve universal prosperity and security, he must develop his reasoning powers and political knowledge to a for greater extent than ever before, l-le must achieve an understanding of human relationships which he has not possessed up to now. The hour is late, and we have no time to lose, Will the his- torians of tomorrow look back upon this generation and write of opportunities used or lost? Will they say of us that we nobly saved or meanly lost, the lost best hope of Earth ? May the memories of your school days be ever a source of pleasure to you, I trust the friendships you have cultivated will in time grow into a positive farce for the general good of mankind. As you continue your journey along the educational highway, may you, if not entirely at least in part, come to understand the significance of the great principle as expressed by a great mind, May it be enough for each of us to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the Universe which we can dimly perceive, and to try humbly to compre- hend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature, Qagarf flu-'X gyms President-Carl Hiester Treasurer-Geraldine Pompiano Secretary-Marion Essig Vice-President-Leonard Marrello Mr. W, Whalen Fenstermacher Mrs, Barbara Martin Mr. Mark Guthrie 'll H -we-nv-4 its 1 TO ,OUR SPONSORS - We, the class of '53, wish to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the guidance given to us by Mr. Whalen Fenstermacher, Mrs. Barbara Martin, and Mr, Mark Guthrie, whose continual cooperation has helped to make our class successful in all ways.

After an interesting tour through the Naval Center, the Class went to the Horn and l-lardart Automat for a bite to eat, After a delicious meal, the Seniors were ready for the delightful boat trip from Philadelphia to Tren- ton. The return boat trip to Chester was highlighted with a beautiful moonlight cruise with the soothing strains of a five piece orchestra, At 9:30 P.
