SOPHOMORE STATISTICS September, 1943. With hesitating feet and chattering mouths, a motley band of students trooped noisily up the squeaky stairs to the assembly hall to be assigned to home rooms and be informed of the rules and regulations of the school. Who were these enthusiastic prospectors in Reading High? Why the new sophomores, of course! We who were used to the modern equipment of the junior high, found the high school very strange with its tiny gym, swinging doors, diminutive cafeteria and an¬ cient desks. As most sophomores do, we made many mistakes the first week; such as forgetting which room we were sup¬ posed to he in and getting the teachers’ names mixed up. After we had acquainted ourselves with our new abode and settled down to a regular routine, we held our class elections, choosing John Ivers as president, Joseph Mc¬ Donald as vice-president, Mary Colford as secretary, and William Haines as treasurer. We held our Sophomore Hop on December third and although it was not a success financially, it was tops in entertainment. The committee really did an excellent job arranging the affair and decorating the hall with countless gay balloons. Mid-year examinations were something new to us, as we did not know exactly what to expect. However, in most cases we managed to pass the tests, although we’are still wondering how we happened to pull through. We now are stumbling onward, led by the faint hope that maybe next year we will be juniors and gain a little more authority and prestige. Donald Walker ’46

ji -MOK j )niN ;s Thr year 1943-44 Marled off with our class holding the easy, unexciting position of “middle man on the totem pole, or Junior Class at Reading High. Holding class elections and wakdiing football games were the main events fur us in the fall. Dick F ' ord. Danny Norwood, Pat Reissle, and Ellie Nigro were elecled in that order, as our president, vice-pre ident, setretary, and treasurer. Ellen Tanner rej resented the girls on the cheerleader squad, and the junior buys did more than their share in making the football team a giM d one. Danny .Norwood has been elected as captain for the 1944 season. This year will long be remembered fur the scrap dri e» and bond drives, fur which R. H. S. worked so hard and willingly during school time. Remember how useful Joe Dunn’s car was and the extra gas the boys olitaiiied from .Mr. Sussmann for helping collect scrap in theii cars and truths? The best assembly that R. H. S. has «e(‘n this year was put on fur the juniors and seniors by the junior-senior asM ' inbiv committee of the Second ’ar Rond Drive. The Currell-W elwter-Stratton jam session was really good. After giving a real “flop” of a Hup last year, we de termined to have a good junior prom, and we think y« u ' ll agree we did. It was held in March. Dick Ford and Mr. Fit gerald headed up the committee. .Mrs. o« dlierrv directed the det orating. The hall was strik¬ ingly transformed into a pastoral scene. The music was gcMMl, and the attendame lietter than usual, which made a sucx-essful dance, except perliaps, from the treasurer’s point of view. From now until June, our attention will be turned to¬ ward giving a grand junior-senior reception, which the seniors will enjoy, ami then we will bid thrin a fottd adieu and try to prepare ourselves to take their places.
