Master, and one of its most popular faculty members, Mr. Ronald C. Kichline, mathematics teacher. As educators, sportsmen, and gentlemen, our beloved administrator and teacher contributed more than their share in promoting higher ideals in education, athletics, and wholesome citizenship at Reading Senior High School and in the community. Esteemed by students, teachers, parents and friends, long will our former leaders be remembered for their untiring leadership, service, good-fellowship, and devotion to duty. MR. RONALD C. KICHLINE With the exception of his two years of service in the Army in l9l8 and l9l9, Mr. Ronald C. Kichline's life was education and football. ' From l9l6 to l93l, he served as coach of football at Mansfield State Teachers College, Juniata College, Ver- mont Academy, and Ursinus College. After retiring from coaching college football in l93l, he became a football columnist for a Philadelphia newspaper. Later, he became a well known football official in college, high school, and prep school contests. ln 1943, he was appointed as a teacher at Southwest Junior High School and coach of our Senior High School football team. After teaching at the iunior high school for two years, he was transferred to Reading High School. Here he coached high school football for another year and taught mathematics until his death on January 20, 1956. During Mr. Kichline's sixteen years of coaching and thirteen years of teaching, he received many honors for his outstanding achievements in the field of sports and tributes for his continuous sincerity, leadership, and service to the school and the community. MR. EARL A. MASTER After seven years of successful teaching in the schools of Western Pennsylvania, Mr. Earl A. Master came to Reading to start his colorful and eventful career in the Reading School District. In l93l, Mr. Master was appointed as a teacher of English at Reading Senior High School, Shortly thereafter, he was promoted to his first administrative position as head of the English department. ln l940, he became principal of Southwest Junior High School. Four years later, he was appointed to serve as principal of Reading Senior High School, a position he held until the time of his death on May l9, l955. During his twenty-four years of faithful service to the Reading School District including eleven years at Reading High School, Mr. Master earned the respect of all for his promotion of high standards of scholarship, sportsman- ship, and citizenship in school and community activities. In remembrance of our late principal and teacher, we dedicate this page of our 1956 Arxalma. OUR NEW PRINCIPAL On June 22, 1955, Mr. LeVon P. Smith was appointed principal of Reading High School, succeeding the late Mr, Earl Master. Before coming to R. H. S., Mr, Smith was a prominent teacher and coach ot Pen Argyl High School from 1930 to 1938 and Glen Cove High School, New York, from 1938 to 1946. In the fall of 1946, he left the high school field to become dean of men, assistant professor of education and coach at Albright College. ln 1948, in addition to his position as dean of men, he was named head of the department of education and supervisor of student teaching. These positions he held until the time of his appointment to the administrative office of principal at Reading High School. Mr. LeVan P. Smith's outstanding accomplishments in the field of education, and his dynamic leadership in sports and civic activities fit him well for his educational responsibilities at Reading High School.

The right answer to these questions depends upon what you find in your own hearts. You are facing the world in years of great decisions, which cannot be validated by government, unless the hearts of the people are sound and unless they beat in tune with the ideals which enabled our forefathers to charter for us the greatest plan of life since civilization began. Not only in living your own life, but as the leaders of our next generation it might be well to recall some of these ideals. Our forefathers believed that the American dream was not based on material things but on freedom, that struggle is a part of man's destiny and the conquest of knowledge and understanding will lead to an enriched philosophy toward life, They believed in the moral and spiritual strength of the people and that national strength and the power to endure was to be found in the hearts and souls of men. They believed in the ideal of personal responsibility and beyond one's responsibility to self must be recognition of responsibility to one's fellows and compassion toward all mankind. It is the wish of your Class Sponsors that you may realize your dreams and, as graduates of Reading High School, you may face the future with surer feet, clearer minds, cleaner spirits, and a greater faith in the greatness of faith. ,ff OJ A ' Ya-43. ,W 3 ll Q. if 5 li Mr. Warren Gish, Mr. Harry Scott, Mrs. Amy Bell, Mr, William Bannon CLASS OFFICERS President-Richard Dietrich Vice President-Dorothy Warr Secretary-Victoria Stevens Treasurer-Susan Heckman Victoria Stevens, Dorothy Warr, Richard Dietrich, Susan Heckman MESSAGE T0 OUR SPONSORS We, the Class of '56, would like to express our sincere appreciation to our Class Sponsors, Mr. Harry Scott, Mrs. Amy Bell, Mr, Warren Gish, and Mr, William Bannon who through their much needed personal guidance and understanding have made our years at the Castle ones we shall always cherish with fond memories. mimi 030-4,,,..W Zdcbvf of j CAROLYN A.

Many moments passed before we realized that we were well on our journey. ver fields ond valleys zoomed our train until finally we arrived at Jersey City where we left the train and boarded our sight-seeing boot. Resting comfortably in deck choirs, we watched New York's panoramic skyline unfold before us. In the meantime, a voice from the public address system described some of the New York landmarks such as the ma- jestic Statue of Liberty, the impressive United Nations Building, the Palisades, ond the historic Hell's Gate. Excited by the beauty along the Hudson River, we entered the dock at West Point sooner than we expected and quickly began our tour of the Academy. Soon many new scenes appeared before us, including the Cadets' precision drill in front of the Battle Monument, the Cadet Chapel, the Washington Monu. ment, and other impressive sights. After our splendid tour, we again boarded our cruiser and then, with much regret, began our homeward journey. Realizing that each minute was bringing us closer to home, we enjoyed the lost few moments dancing to the music of the orchestra on board ship. Entering the docks at Jersey City, we dis- embarked and then boarded our train, homeward bound with wonderful mem- ories of our class trip.

S. soccer team for the first time this year, Roland P, Kyle was facec with the huge task of developing an effective soccer eleven for a tough ten game schedule, ln the very first game, our gallant Knights met stiff opposition. An unusually strong Mt, Penn eleven surprised our R, H. S, boaters by holding our local lads to a scoreless tie until the end of the second overtime period. Unable to win the first game an foreign sail for their new mentor, the Kylemen looked forward to starting their home contests with a victory. Again the tables were turned when a consistently strong Hamburg squad dampened the Kylemen's victory hopes with an overpowering 5-l win. ln the next contest the R. H. S. squad again met a powerful foe, but in spite of the opposition's deception on a mud-laden field, our R. H, S. booters managed to out-maneuver their Fleetwood opponents by squeezing a narrow one point margin for a final 2-l tally. Traveling to Birdsboro, the local lads stagec the surprise upset of the season when they gave the Birdsboro soccermen the only defeat ol the year with a close l-O score. Inspired by their thrilling victory over the Birdsboro eleven, the Kylemen hoped to add more laurels to the winning side of the ledger. Contrary to their expectations, two stubborn squads from Schuylkill Valley and Bethlehem dimmed the Knight's hopes when our local lads were held to 2-2 and l-l deadlocks, respectively. Shifting their action to foreign grounds for the next two games, the hopes of the Kylemen continued tc fade when Norlebco succeeded in outclassing our fighting Knights with a 7-l conquest, and Myerstown edged the Castle boaters in an exciting 3-2 overtime contest, In the following clash with Girard College, regarded as the best team in the league, the Red Knights demon- strated unusual strength when they held the powerful Girard eleven to a l-l deadlock for three periods, However, in the final quarter, the Girard soccermen rallied furiously to score three additional allies, thereby setting back th hopeful Kylemen for the third consecutive VFQTY fl .'..

Much to the surprise of all, our local lads mode their dreams come true by squeezing se one point margin ovcr a fleet-footea Norristown squad to win by a 27 to 28 tally. tg to a foreign turf, the Knights failed to overcome Lebonon's eleven point lead and so y the score of 33-22. In the next meet, our dashing harriers defeated Lancaster's newly ized cross country team by an overwhelming l8'32 tab. Most likely, the Knights im- ve victory was due in part to their superior speed and ease in following the course. ers indicating direction by means of special red, white, and blue flags proved helpful to :cal lads in determining the course and in saving time, ln the next three dual meets, tridesmen suffered three setbacks in a row with a l9-36 reverse from a powerful imsport squad, a close three point decision of 26-29 from Pottsville and o crushing S defeat from William Penn.

Foltz Although our Red Knights failed to capture the Central Penn Conference championship, they proved to be one of the most powerful elevens in conference and non-conference contests. Starting their ten-game grid card on foreign soil against a highly favored Allentown powerhouse, our gallant Knights succeeded in breaking their opponent's steel grip of fifteen setbacks in the some number of encounters by capturing a thrilling l9-l2 victory over the twin-city rivals. ln the first home clash, our fighting Castlemen lost an exciting grid contest to a de- ceptive Steeltcn eleven, by the score of 20-l2, thereby starting a pattern of winning one game then losing the following for the next four games. The pattern repeated itself when our Pretz elmen routed a John Harris squad by a score of 21-O, then lost the next game to a power packed Williamsport Millionaires team by a 28-l4 tally. Returning to the winning side ofthe ledger, the local lads blanked a weak Bethlehem crew by 33 points, Continuing the pattern established at the beginning of the season, the Red Knights lost a l4-l3 heart-breaker to a closely matched York team. ln the next encounter, the Castlemen again regis- tered a victory by trcuncing the Lancaster Red Roses, 4l-O. Determined to break the pattern, the Knights rallied in the final contests to defeat Lebanon, William Penn, and Pottsville by scores of 28-l9, l3-7, and l9-O respectively. With this colorful climax, the Knights registered four wins and three losses in the Central Penn Conference to share a triple tie for third place with York and William Penn in the C.P.C. conference. With the three non- conference victories over Allentown, Bethlehem, and Pottsville, the final grid tally netted a 7-3-0 standing in the ten game schedule.

For the second time in three years, the seasonal opener with Phoenixville ended in an overpowering 20-0 victory for the Junior Red Knights. Playing at Allentown against the Canary J.V.'s, the Baby-Knights tasted defeat for the first time when they suffered a close I4-7 setback. Returning to the local gridiron the Knights shut out nearby Governor Mifflin 27-O. ln the next contest aur J. V. gridsters allowed Coatesville to register a six point tally, but the Knights power- ful offensive pushed across six T. D.'s to defeat the Coatesville eleven 36-6, ln the Muhlenberg and Lancaster clashes, the Castlemen blanked both foes with I2-0, and I3-6 scores, respectively. With an impressive record of five high-scoring victories to their credit, the Knights seemed to be heading for the win column for the rest of the season, but much to their surprise, a stubborn Lebanon defense gave Reading its worst defeat of the season with o 3l-O reverse. With the sting of this defeat still in their minds, a determined Reading eleven traveled to Milton Hershey to register their fourth shutout of the season by crushing the Milton Hershey eleven l3-O. The season was concluded with a 6-2-O log. This resulted in the most victorious season for J. V. football since l95O when that edition of the Horine-men took eight out of nine encounters from their gridiron foes.

Meeting Shippensburg, their first intra-district foe, the Red Knights registered the highest score in the history of District No, 3, Class A playoffs when they upset the Shippensburg five by a sparkling 82-55 scare, Overpowering their first District Na. 3 challenger at the Edison Junior High School in Harrisburg, the Crusading Knights looked forward ta defeating the next apponent for final District Na, 3 honors. Facing our Central Penn Conference champions for District No. 3 final honors this year was Carlisle, the South Penn Conference champions. Before 8,300 hopeful fans at the Hershey Sports Arena, the Red Knights easily set back their foes by an impressive 55-30 score. With the District No, 3 crown to their credit, the Castlemen prepared to meet Radnor, District No, l champions for inter-district or preliminary Eastern Regional laurels. ln the playoff at the Hershey Sports Arena, o strong, deceptive Radnor five proved to be superior to our fighting Red Knights by winning the crucial contest 57-49 to erase our local quintet from further competition. Although our sparkling R, H. S. quintet could not fulfill their dreams of gaining a state championship, they did suc. ceed in earning conference and District No. 3 titles and outstanding individual laurels. Foremost in the list of individuals who posted spectacular performances throughout the season was Don Bertram. Besides being named ta the second All-State team by the Associated Press and the third All-State team by the United Press, Dan Bertram, by registering 422 paints, earned the honor of being named to the select class of R, H. S. players who have registered 400 or more points in a single season, Other Castle basketeers who posted high scoring records were William Pegram, Dick Nawotczynski, Tom Gay, and Jerry Jankans with 274, 270, 250, and l9l points, respectively, Although the outstanding performances of our ace basketeers contributed much to the team's success, fellow team- mates did their share in helping to make the '56 basketball season one of the most memorable in the history af the sport. Bill Horine, our newly named varsity coach, is also to be commended for his untiring efforts in continuing to produce championship basketball quintets at the Castle. ln the past five years, Coach Bill Horine developed three J. V, Champion- ship teams and this year's champion varsity quintet.

V. BASKETBALI Coach-Mr. Max Missbach, Jr. This year, after two victoria years as league champs, the Juni Red Knights just missed hitting tl winner's circle again, Under the ne leadership of the able coach, Mt Missbach, who took over the DC William Horine had filled so well the past, the J.V.'s succeeded in wor ing their magic on their home floor Northwest to win all but three of the contests, while on the road the charmed careers were nicked or twice. As the first step in the right dire tion, the Baby Knights opened thi season against a squad from Mt. Pei that proved to be no match for tl hometown lads. The result was a 5 34 tally for the Knights, ln the ne contest, our .l,V, Hoopsters, along wi a 52-47 victory, continued to a- laurels by earning the distinction being the first quintet to play and vi on the newly dedicated Bethlehe hardwoods.

Finally achieving more unity, the local hoopsters succeeded in stringing five consecutive victories over ste ton, John Harris, Milton Hershey, Allentown, and Lebanon to match their first five consecutive wins. ln the next contest, a stubborn Beth hem crew refused to bow to the Knights, 60-49 and again the Baby Knights' winning streak of five consecutive was checked. This was oi the first of three defeats to mar the magic of our home floor. The second loss came when during the next contest the York Bearcats revolt and downed Reading 49-33. Bouncing gack to victory required wins over Lancaster, William Penn, Steelton, John Harris, and Milt Hershey, This was done with just one mishap. John Harris, a fourth place team just wouldn't be put aside. As a result, the visitors cal on in the late periods to win 6l-54. Although dreams of a championship team for three consecutive years failed to become a reality, our fighting Baby Knights did si ceed in posting a record of l5 wins and 5 losses to earn second place in the C. P. C. junior basketball circuit. Proving that good work and talent are recognized, both William Ruoff, and Christ Hiotis were promoted to varsity berths. This p motion coming near the end of the season was in recognition of the fine playing and brilliant sharpshooting displayed by these boys in th first year as Red Knight material.

WRESTLING Coach-Mr, William H. Foltz A relatively new sport which has earned a position of major importance in the school's athletic program during the past four years was wrestling. Introduced as a new sport' in l952 and entered into league competition in l953, wrestling began to grow tremen- dously in achievement and popularity until today it is considered one of the outstanding sports of R. H. S. During its brief five year span of existence, Reading High mat- men earned a state championship title plus individual Eastern Regional and District No, 3 first place honors. This year the Red Knights continued to add new Iaurels to the successful achievements of previous teams. The first outstanding accomplishment of our l956 Castle wrestling team was the acquir- ing ofa District No, 3 league championship with the startling record of ten victories and no losses, In achieving this outstanding record, our local grapplers succeeded in erasing the threat of Milton Hershey and Hershey high schools who last year gave the Red Knights their only defeats in a 9-2-O final tally. Individual Iaurels earned by our local matmen during league competition included the sterling undefeated records of Craig DeWald, Frank Kennedy, Richard Drexler, and Ralph Jenkins. By capturing District No. 3 team championship with ten wins and no losses, and earning second place team honors in district compe- tition at Manheim Central plus an individual District No, 3 championship earned by Richard Drexler, the year l956 can truly be considered one of the best overall wrestling records to date.

Although the seasonal log established by his l956 plungers was not too impressive, it was an improve- ment over the final records posted by swimming squads of the previous two years. - lnheriting a seasonal team log of one win and ten losses established in l954, Hap Davis in his two brief years as swimming coach led his l955 mermen to an improved record of two victories and ten defeats, and in I956 to three wins and eight losses. Starting with the same foe as last year, the Knights hoped to repeat their victory performance over the Hershey lads. Contrary to their expecta- tions, the Hershey squad proved slightly superior and as such edged our local talent by a close seven point advantage. ln the next meet, the Knights registered their first win of the season by making the West Reading Cowboys bow to a 39-27 tally. Lancaster cancelled its scheduled meet when signs of an epidemic appeared in the Lancaster area. Success for the Castle swimmers continued when they earned another close victory over the Wil- mington squad 39-3 I. Hopes for continued success faded when the Knights lost their next seven meets to P. S, DuPont, Hershey, Girard College, Coates- ville, Lancaster, Hazelton, and Allentown. Deter- mined to break the slump of the past seven meets, the Knights succeeded in defeating the nearby West Reading crew for the second time by a score of 39-26. ln the 200 yard Freestyle Relays at the District No. 3 meet at Millersville State Teachers College and the Eastern Regional meet at F. and M.

After putting the boys through several weeks of intense spring training, our coaches selected a team from prom- ising candidates who displayed signs of outstanding speed, hitting and fielding ability. Named to infield and outfield assignments and slated for action throughout the season were Richard Luigard, Joseph Smith, and Ronald Betz as catchers, Robert Klein and David Mann at the initial sack, Sam Preston at second base, Richard Dietrich at shortstop, Conrad Hidalgo at third base, John Dallessandro, Don Bertram, Robert Bowman, and Fred Yiengst in the outfield, Robert' Keiser, William Rouff, and James Spatz were selected for utility roles in the infield and outfield. Scheduled to share the pitching honors were Richard Nawotczynski, John Hartwick, Carl Strassner, Michael Kostzewa, Roland Richards, Thomas Rapp, Norman Bautsch, and Ronald Powell. The Knights will play a fourteen game schedule inclu- ding two games each with Easton, Allentown, Allentown Catholic, Phillipsburg, and Bethlehem - all members of the East Penn Baseball League. J. V. BASEBALL Coach-Mr. Harrison H. Stump A tough eleven game schedule faced our junior varsity nine and the new mentor, Harrison Stump. Although our junior baseball squad did not participate in regular league competition, the growing strength of the nearby opponents served as a great challenge to our fighting junior Knights, Recently, a number of the op- ponents listed on the Baby Knights' schedule formed school jointures, thereby making the opposition stronger and more deceptive. With stiffer competition in sight, Coach Stump con- centrated in improving the junior Knights' speed, batting power, and fielding skill. Diamond men who succeeded in being named to junior varsity duty included Richard Walters, Michael Houck, Paul laeger, David Mann, Raymond Ebersole, Gary Evans, William Wentzel, Herman Ludwig, Thomas Rapp, Roland Richards, Glen Rissmiller, Lief Ericksen, Barry Weiden- hammer, and Mike Lutz. Occasionally, when the situ- ation was necessary some of these boys were promoted to varsity rank. Contests scheduled for the junior Castle men included two games each with Tulpehocken, Hamburg, Wyomis- sing, Schuylkill Valley, and Twin Valley high schools and a single encounter with Exeter Township High School.

Mclntyre Power of four veteran returnees plus promising poten- tial strength from eight new candidates served as bases for a brighter court season this year. Using the veteran experiences of Walter Spangler, Jack Reinhart, Raymond Huber, and Clarence Endy as a nucleus, Coach Mclntyre concentrated in screening the remainder of the candidates for superior speed, drive, and accuracy for team support. Outstanding aspirants bidding for the remaining varsity berths included Larry Fitzgerald, Adam Kratochwill, Lean Stepp, N, Samuel Zehner, Algis Biziukous, Edward Fogel- man, Roger Handorf, and Ransom Reed. Practices tor league matches were held daily on the asphalt courts on the west campus of the high school.

In spite of the fact that the turnout was small, mem- bers of the squad will endeavor to post an impressive record this year to make their coach's twenty-fourth and final year of service a memorable one. At the end of the present school term, Coach Adam Brucher will leave Reading and R. H. S. to move to his new home in Cali- fornia. During the golf mentor's many years of service, he held the honors of being secretory-treasurer of the Central Penn Golf League since the league's organization, and president' of the Berks County Golf Association for the past twelve years, R. H. S. graduates who gained special honors as a result of Coach Adam Brucher's leadership and service were Rod Eaken and John Markel, State P.I.A.A. champ- ions, Robert Batdorff, Berks County champ-ion, Others who achieved high recognition included John Guenther, State Amateur Champion, and Bill Eben and Dominic Foscone, amateur and now professional golfers. x .K x v 584 ll' 'I .'g, Mr. Adam Brucher gauges the distance between the ball and the l8th hole before putting.
