Over 30 members, includ¬ ing girls and boys, benefited by this activity. Alma Doiron ’34 and Marion Parker ’34 HI-Y The Hi-Y has completed another successful year which has included many and varied meetings of inter¬ est to all the members. January 29, 1934 was faculty night, but on account of a severe snow storm the meeting was not very well attended. Mr. Bumpus of Woburn spoke on “Person¬ ality.” At the following meeting Mr. Martin led a very interesting discussion, the subject of which was “What the Hi-Y has to do with the Church.” On March 1, the club was fortunate in having Mr. Karltenborn come to speak to us. He spoke about Hitler and Germany, and gave us a vivid description of his experiences there last summer. The next meeting was Co-ed night, and it proved to be a success. Miss Simon and Miss Nichols acted as chaperons, and Mr. Dennet of Harvard gave an interesting talk on “Peace and Possibilities of War.” The meeting was followed by refreshments. Since January the Hi-Y Club has had two instruction services, and eight new members have joined the club. On March 31, a dance was held in the school hall spon¬ sored by the Hi-Y Club. The club in co-operation with the Junior Woman’s Club of the High School ran a bridge and dance party for the benefit of the school A. A. April 13, seven members of the club journeyed to Somerville to the roundup. In the many events that took place there, in track and swimming, the members gave a good account of themselves, one taking almost all prizes in the swimming contests. Malcolm Plummer, Secretary JUNIOR WOMAN’S CLUB 1933—1934 The Reading Junior Woman’s Club has just com¬ pleted an unusually successful season under the able leadership of Miss Dorothy Parker. Our president has had good co-operation from all members of the club, besides the valuable assistance of our adviser, Mrs. Win¬ field Reed. At the first meeting on October 17, 1933 we had a very enjoyable talk given by Mrs. Charles C. Wilson, Vice-Chairman of Junior Membership, State Federation. Several members at the Senior Woman’s Club served tea following the meeting. The first big project which the Junior Club spon¬ sored this year was the annual rummage sale, on No¬ vember 18th, from which we realized a substantial profit. Following this, we held a Harvest Dance at the High School Hall, on November 29. At Christmas we were fortunate in obtaining Mr. Murphy, the Baptist minister, who gave us a very ap¬ propriate talk for that season of the year. It was at this meeting that we arranged for our usual Christmas chari¬ ty work. This year we accomplished a great deal. Be¬ sides giving a family their entire Christmas, we sent cards to the members of the Home for Aged Women, sold Christmas seals, and aided at the Christmas party given for small children of the town. On January 10, 1934 we sponsored a bridge party at the home of Miss Janet Boyle. On Wednesday, April 4th, we had a tea for the mothers of the club members. Previous to the tea, there was a general assembly for girls, in order that everyone might hear Mrs. Margaret B. Owen deliver her stirring talk, entitled “If I Had Three Wishes.” Follow¬ ing this, Mrs. Charles C. Wilson and Mrs. Christie Fowle each gave short talks to the members. Friday, April 13th, all Junior members w r ere in¬ vited to an entertainment entitled “Madame Has Lost Her Cat,” at the Senior Woman’s Club. At this meet¬ ing our president briefly summarized the vear’s work. Just after this entertainment we held a short business meeting, when the list of officers for the ensuing term was read and approved. This list consisted of: Jean Phippen—President Helen Gillis—Vice-President Janet Boyle—Secretary Eleanor French—Treasurer it was also decided that the balance of the money m the treasury will be given to those children who need optical care. The annual conference of the Junior Woman’s Clubs of the State was held this year at Braintree. Several of our members attended, and our president gave a sum¬ mary of activities during the past year. On May 14th, many of the girls with much enthusiasm, attended the annual meeting of the State Federation of Women’s Clubs at Swampscott. Thus ended an exceptionally interesting year of Ju¬ nior Woman’s Club activities. Betty Boyers, Secretary ’34 THE BAND AND ORCHESTRA The Reading High School Band is larger and better than ever this year. In the fall it played for all the football games and during the past year for the numer¬ ous assemblies which we have had. On April 27, the band went to the Seamen’s Home in Boston, where the members gave a concert. They also attended the State Musical Festival at Melrose, on May 12, where they competed against other bands in the state, and ob¬ tained a rating of excellent on their own music. On May 18, they gave a concert at the Reading Theatre. During the week of May 20, they went to the North
