The opening game found the Reading senior, junior, and sophomore teams opposing the Meln se teams of the same classes. The seniors won their game by the narrow margin of 29-27, thanks to the brilliant performance of Jean Ma l.eod. who contributed twelve points to the cause. The juniors were drubbed in their ganw to the score of 2F9, with Barltara Folger and Gladys Carter sharing 8 -oring honors. The sophomores managed to emerge victorious in their game by a 2. 2i score. Special mention should be made of Marie Hoffer, who score ! twenty-two points, and also the clever guarding on the part of Connie Foxcroft. In their second game of the season, the Reading first team was outclassed by Malden and ended up on the short end of a ,32-21 decision. The Reading juniors and sophomores combine ! to defeat the .Malden second team, 35-22. In the final game of the year, the Reading first team had little difficulty in beating Wakefield 32-9. Louise Frye and Jean . IacLe x! shared semiring honors for Read¬ ing, netting fourteen and twelve points respectively.

CHEERLEADERS Wilh a T and an E and an A and an M voiced by eight vivacious cheer leaders, all bedecked in their colorful uniforms, Reading marched on to a victorious season. Every Saturday—rain (remember Woburn?) or shine, R. H. S. football fans enthusiastically cheered from the bleachers. Although the football games were the major attraction of the season, we sponsored a successful vic¬ tory dance and our rallies were popular with everyone. The extra-curricular activities also included sponsoring and attending open-houses after the games and several good times were afforded us by “our boss” Miss Mac¬ Leod. As much as we regret it, we’re leaving the R. H. S. football morale in the hands of our successors. We can only wish them as happy a season as we enjoyed! Jean Eisenhaure ’44

GIRLS’ HOCKEY The girls’ hockey team did not live up to its previous expectations this year. In fact, so few girls turned out for the sport, that Miss Nichols decided to have but one team. The team was composed of four sophomores: Winifred McLaughlin, Barbara Lowell, Cynthia Upton, and Con¬ stance Foxcroft; juniors—Jean Fuller, Priscilla Fancy, and Barbara Folger; seniors — Arlene Surette, Louise Frye, Margaret O’Keeffe, Phyllis Lindquist, Margaret McGrath, Gloria Lake, and Barbara Fienemann, who did an excellent job as goalie for the team. The first game was played at Stoneham where we were nosed out by a 2-0 score. In our only other game we dropped a 3-0 decision to an experienced Melrose team. We wish to thank Miss Nichols for the time and labor spent in her attempt to develop a winning team, and all join with her in hoping that she will be rewarded with a championship team next year, so that her efforts this year will not have been in vain.
