SENIOR PLAY On the night of December 17, 1943, Shepardson Hall was jammed. The reason? George Washington had come to Reading. Yes, the senior play, George Washington Slept Here, packed ’em in. Our thespian classmates gave a never-to-be-forgotten performance which pleased all comers. Who can forget our Pennsylvania farmer, Win¬ nie Oliver? Or the gentleman-farmer, Jim Ireland? Or Winston Oliver James Ireland Patricia Dow Janet Bird Richard Condon Marion Lent Betty Lou Galley Arthur Gallant Peter ] any of those happy-go-lucky creatures who graced our stage? Who on one of those backstage committees will forget “Bernie” falling off the ladder, or the way we worked to make a noise like a storm? However, it was all fun, and if everyone enjoyed it as much as the cast and crew, it achieved its purpose. The members of the cast: Constance Chesley Marilyn Bates Merrill Wilmot George Jewett Paul Mich Charles Field Gail Packer Lucienne Dube

TRAFFIC SQUAD Minus the bright red hats the traffic squads of yore wore, our present squad has nevertheless carried on the splendid work which preceded them, under the super¬ vision of a very capable director, Mr. Fitzgerald. During the year,, several meetings were held to settle questions and to better the existing traffic rules. At the close of the third quarter, a new system was inaugurated, whereby single file passing was maintained under the supervision of the faculty. Rotary traffic was still ob¬ served. Paige Albee Robert Bryant Wesley Chisholm Richard Condon Walter Earley Charles Field Michael Gaffney Arthur Gallant John Harrison Leslie Hodgkins James Ireland Unknown to most of the school, the squad decided to have dues of ten cents a week. At the close of a twenty- four week period, the club had fifty-two dollars and eighty cents in its treasury. In April the money was returned to the officers. Mr. Fitzgerald extended his appreciation to the members of the force for the efficient service they had rendered. The following students were members of the squad: George Jewett Ted Knudson Edward Koptuck Paul Mich Penn Michelini Winston Oliver Richard Rogers Carl Ryan Edward Stanley Robert Stevens William Warren Winnie Oliver, Q-13
