We are extremely grateful forher encourage- ment, enthusiasm, and unselfish work spent inour behalf. She has helped us and the many, many others who have gone before us by her untireless effort. We trust that this volume will, in some small way, remind MISS NEUFFER of our gratitude for all she has done for R. H.

Their eagerness to help in all our projects, and willingness to listen to our troubles will forever be grate- fully remembered. To MR. ROBERT HOWE we wish to say from the bottom of our hearts: Thanks for all the work of the past four years. Your kindness, willingness to help see us through, and always presentguicling hand will linger long in our memories as one of the outstanding highlights of our stay at Reading High. CLASS HI TORY InSeptember, 1948, seventy-five bewildered Freshmen en- tered into the life of a Reading High Schooler. Most of them were horrified at the terrible atrocities that were going to happen to them on Initiation Day. At least that's what the Seniors told them, but after it was all over, we had a lot more fun than we expected. Our first job was to organize our class and this we did by electing officers. They were: Bill Schriever,president, Ronnie Groh, vice-president, Carol Kretchmar, secretary, and Iack Campbell, treasurer. Next we chose our class motto, To make the best better , our class flower, the red rose, and our class colors, red and white. Our biggest event during our Freshman year was our dance which was a big success. Other activities were the bake sales and paper drives. All in all, the Freshman class of 52 had a very successful year. In September, 1949, only sixty-nine of the original sev- enty-five returned to the fair halls of Reading. We chose our class officers immediately: Don Riesenberg, president, Ronnie Groh, vice-president, Pat Fehrenbach, secretary, and Bill Schriever, treasurer. Our biggest event was our Christmas Dance, The Santa Claus Shuffle . It was a tremendous success. Other big events during our Sophomore year were our successful paper drives and bake sales. In 1950, only 56 returned to school to become Reading's fair-hairedluniors. Our election for class officers took place in September and we elected the following: Don Riesenberg, pres- ident, forthesecond straight year, Larry Wilks, vice-president, Pat Fehrenbach, secretary, and Pat Marshall, treasurer.Our Junior year was very successful and everyone worked hard to make money for our Senior year..Our first event was the football dance inwhich Beverly Burk and Harry Lang were crowned queen and king by the Juniors. Next we worked on the Thanksgiving Day Football Game programs with students from Lockland. They were sold on Thanksgiving Day at the annual football game be- tween Reading and Lockland. This was the firstyear of our Student Council and the Juniors contributed four membersg Don Riesenberg, Virginia McCauley, Leo Feldhaus, and Carol Kretchmar. Our first year, the experi- mental year, was a success and we were looking forward to the next year when we would write our Constitution. The Junior play was given on December 4, 1950, and a great array of talent was discovered. The play, Sing for Your Supper , produced such great stars as Doris Elmlinger, Bill Schri- ever, Pat Marshall, Jack Christopnel, Ron Groh, and many others, too numerous to mention. This was the year that thirteen of our classmates were admitted to the Honor Society, the highest honor bestowed upon aJunior or Senior. Rita Mahsling was elected president, and Virginia McCauley, vice-president, andlean Bittner, secretary. During our Senior year we received our pins. We also had numerous paper drives and bake sales. But in May came the biggest event of our last three years. The Senior- Junior Prom was given during the first week of May at Twin Lanterns Country Club and we danced to the music of Jerry Thole and his orchestra. The biggest event of the night was the crown- ing of the king and queen. La Verne Elfers was crowned queen and Don Sears was crowned King, an event that will be remem- bered by all. September, 1951, The beginning of the end. . .The beginn- ing ofthe last year of school for most of us. Although it was the last it was the best. Our first job was to elect our officers to guide us through our Senior year. Don Riesenberg was elected president for the third straight year, Jack Campbell was elected vice-president, Jean Bittner, secretary, and Mary Jane Top- miller, treasurer. The first big event of the Senior year was the Senior Dinner given in November with the invaluable aid ofthe Senior mothers. This was very profitable and helped the Seniors get money for the coming events. lt was this year that the name of the Annual was changed to better represent the school. The name decided upon was The Devillan . ln November the Juniors gave the Football Frolic and crowned Dottie Jones, football queen and Gene Burdine, foot- ball king. A dance, The Washington Wiggle , was given in February by the Seniors to raise money for the coming trip and in March a rummage sale was given. Both proved to be very successful. On April 4, 1952 the annual Senior play was given and a new crop of stars was discovered. Then came the merry month of May and all the Seniors dreams came true. First came the prom held at the Hartwell Country Club, a truly unforgetable night. Then came the biggest event of the four years of high school: TheSenior trip to Washington, D. C. - -a trip that will be remem- bered by all and stories that will be told over and over again to their children and grandchildren. Now we are coming to the end of the best years of our life . On June 2, 1952, 46 Seniors received their diplomas to certify that they had successfully completed four years of high school. And thus ends the history of the class of 52 , gone, but we hope, not forgotten.

Invitations were sent out to everyone in the class. By the way, a few of us reporters received one, too, so let's drop in and see if everyone is having fun. As we walkin JANET NIEHAUS is in the ticket window all dressed up in a slick red and white uniform. JANET always did have a good salestalk. What a cute ticket-takerl DICK GLOSSNER. How are things, DICK? Better than ever? That's swell Oh, doesn't the gym look nice? Red and white, the class colors, is the main color scheme, and beautifulred roses on the stage. We hear Ron Groh, a successfull interior decorator, used his genius on the decorations. Oh, lookl I DON RIESENBERG'S band. There's DON STALL on the sax. JIM DE VORE playing the drums, BOB BRANKAMP, the trumpet, and GENE BURDINE at the piano. They really sound smoothl I I Come on, girls., let's take our coats to the check room. Now this is unusual. A check girl in the check room! Why, if it isn't DELTA FARMERI Hello there, DORIS ELMLINGER, how are you? You say you're a nurse now? That's fine, DORIS. Hi there, CHARLOTTE TANNER. We haven 't seen you around for a long time. We heard you went into news- paper work. You're surely a credit to the field.. Let's saunter into the dance. ---- Some ofthe alumni are arriving. Here comes DOTTY JONES,Wonder if KEN is home baby-sitting with their six children. All boys, tool IDOTTY' came in with ROSE STEPHENS. She left JIM home with the girls. Three of them, to be exact. This must be Mom's night out. JOYCE BRAY, PAT FEHRENBACK, CONNIE BRANDENBURG, JOYCE HART, and PAT, 'the slick chick', MARSHALL, justwalked in, sporting the famous JOYCE BRAY hair styles. We hear JOYCE has really made a name for herself in New York. Glad you could make it, JOYCE, It's about Iimell I The stag line just strolled in, late as usual. There are JIM VARELMAN, CARL CROMER, FRANK NOLL, CARL LOVINS, LARRY WILKES, LEO FELDHAUS, and last, but not least, Don 'Playboy CARTER. Take your pick, gals. Ther're all still bachelorsl I I I Well, look who just walked in the door. If it isn't JIM Nature Boy WILDER and JACK Hopalong CHRISTOPHEL, backfrom Texas. lt's rumored they struck oil when JIM 'S jalopy went off the road and hit a large cactus. By the looks of those duds they 're really 'in the chips '. How about some refreshments, girls? ..... Okay, here we are. Yes, just as we thought, DANNY NIERMAN and JOHN NIEFIELD, They are partners in a concession stand at the Hot Rod races. They say business is booming! I I Is that the rhumba we hear???Let's see what's going on. ---Just look at that. JOYCE ELMLINGER and RUSSELL LINVILLE doing a rhumbal II RUSS has a very ritzy dancing salon downtown. Who 'd ever think he 'd turn out that wayrr nn What was that flash over there? Oh, yes, CHESTER STONE and that camera again Is that agift certificate he's handing MARLENE EATON for a free picture at his studio? Well, she is photogenic, CHESTER, There's MARY ANN HEILE, an executive from a large department store in Cincinnati, talking to JEAN BITTNER, a well-known dress designer. l'll bet there is a big business deal cooking between them. JOYCE HAMMON just came in wearing mink and sparkling with diamonds galore. That fellow with her must be the big tycoon she caught. She really did all right for herself. Have you read in the papers recently about VIRGINIA MC CA ULEY and RITA MASHLING7 They are really a credit to their class. VIRGINIA, an areonautical engineer, has just designed anewsuper-powered jet engine. What a girll RITA recently won the Pulitzer Prize for her latest novel. Where isJACKCAMPBELL? We haven'tseen him all evening. Oh, there he isI He hasn't changed a bit. He's over in the corner with CATHERINE GALL, Guess he's telling her all about the drug store he just bought. KATY is now the proud mother of triplets, so I guess JACK knows a good customer when he sees one. FREDSLOAN, how are you? We've been following your senatorial re-election campaign in the newspaper and on television. You can count on our vote. ------- He always had a gift of gab, but we never dreamed he'd reach such heights in politics. We never can tell about these things Oh, how excitingll CLYDE HIGGINS and BILL SCHRIEVER are back from Hollywood, They've just fir1iShCd making a picture in which they are gangsters. Let 's hope they are going to sign autographs tonight. The band 's playing a fanfare. Wonder what's going to happen now. DON 'S introducing that lovely songstress, MARY FOLEY, with MARY SCHMIDT as her accompanist at the piano. This ought to be good. Oh, that was nice girls. Well, look who was standing behind us, MARY JANE TOPMILLER and IRENE WADDLE. Boy! They surely have nice looking husbands. I'd guess that they are about the most contented girls in the class--just a normal life and rearing nice families. The band is playing Stardust now, so everyone will be leaving soon. lt's really been wonderful seeing allthe gang of '52 again this evening. Hope you enjoyed yourselves, and now we want to wish every member of the alumni of '52 loads of Good Luck in the futurel I I ----- Goodnight. Shirley Kemen 23 .......... Jllllllllli CLASS ais Pwiui.

Under the able leadership of President Truman Sheldt, Vice-President, Pete Dils, Secretary, Bobby Young, and Treasurer, Roland Ficlce, this class did much. Their first activitiy was a paper drive, followed by a Christmas card sale. ln February these energetic people gave one of the nicest dances of the year. A successful year was closed with a very fine bake sale. The class is grateful for the help of Miss Marie Hall, and Mrs. Mary Lou Unger as advisers and to Mr. Russell Henderly, Jr. as their permanent sponsor. The Class Motto is, Fortune favors the Valiant, the class flower is the white rose, and the class colors are blue and silver. FRE HMA CLA S Cr .Cs C 4, ,q. X -0- -C- I .. Q ' gl.

THE DEVILIA This year the staff and the advisorof the yea rbook decided that a more appropriate name should be chosen for the annual, one that would better represent the school. Many names were suggested and the students voted, choosing THE DEVILIAN. Thanks are in order to Pete Dils, Class of l955, for suggesting this name. Without the help of three young ladies this book would never have been completed. The Advisor wishes to publicly thank Miss Charlotte Tanner, Editor, and Miss Dorothy Jones and Miss Patricia Marshall, assistants to the Editor, for their many hours of service and sacrifice. Their work has helped greatly to make this book possible.

Severalnewproiects were planned. The work proved interesting and enjoyable. . .even though there were times when nerves were taxed as deadlines reared their heads. The TYHPOON has for the past three years sponsored the ac- cumulation of art in the school. The library was given a pair of very valuable tapesteries dating back to the l7th century. The halls were made more beautiful with the addition of over a dozen oil paintings, all of which are originals. lt is hoped that with the coming years more and more will be added until RHS can boast of a collection equal to any and second to none.

The Reading Football Eleven started their season by dropping their first two games to very strong Class A Schools. In the M.V. I. L. League things lookeda little brighter. Winning six straight games in the M.V.l.L., Reading took another crack ata class A school and with a little more luck tied the heavy favored Franklin, 6-6.

CHAMPS For the first time in six years the READING BLUE DEVILS are M.V.I.L. CHAMPS. Playing great ball in the closing games of the season, the DEVILS came through in fine fashion. The rebounding of RUSS LINVILLE and DON CARTER, the sharpshooting of JIM DEVORE, and the fine all around floor play of JACK CHRISTOPHEL, KENNY KONRAD and PETE HOLMES proved to be the decisive factors in the drive for the Championship. The all-around teamwork of the entire squad reflects the genius of Coach KEN POWERS' ability to mold a group of rusty lads into a precision instrument. The DEVILS proved how real champions play, when after they had lost only one game, they let the last place team IN.C.H.J beat them. This didn't discourage our boys though, because after this game the DEVILS won seven straight contests and on the final game ofthe season played Mariemont for the championship and beat them to the tune of 61-44. A hearty congratulation to the team and a well done, boysl VARSITY BASKETBALL SCORES I95I-I952 THEY Nov. 30 Hughes H 47 Dec 7 Greenhills H 4I I4 St. Bernard T 54 2I Wyoming T 42 Jan. 4 Deer Park H 4I 8 N.C.H.
