MAb ACnUS ' ' ' 3 THOMAS WILCOX McNABOLA Tom, our capable Vice-President, was unable to finish the senior year with us. Never heard to complain, despite his illness, Tom was noted for his ready smile and quick wit. An ardent football fan, he could be found at all games, busily snapping pictures of the team in action. He was a conscientious Student Council member and participated in all class activities. We, the Class of 1952, dedicate our Pioneer to Tom, whom we all miss very much. 4 FOREWORD As you turn this page you will observe the reproduction of a letter written to our principal, Mr. Sussmann, by a former R.H.S. student who is now serving in the Air Force. In his letter, Bob points out that, by not remaining to graduate with his class, he missed more than just a year of school . . . Those calendar months from September through June have a deeper meaning . . . They signify friendships made and strength¬ ened, often for a lifetime . . . Lessons learned that become the stepping stones to success . . . Every week in each calendar month has its own unforgettable memories and valuable experiences, all leading up to graduation day when we step up with d sense of pride and accomplishment for the diploma, our Open Sesame to further education in civilian life or in the armed forces . . . Education? The seeds we sow today so that we may reap a fuller and happier tomorrow . . . See for yourself the truth of Bob ' s letter, as you help us turn our calendar pages of memories ... 5 a V Wi Jui- £ • P £ .XiTK-Ai l ( piO Ur ' . - iv.

THE CLASS OF 1954 Linda Long, the keeper of our funds, and Mariiyr Brown, keeper of the records. Once again we find ourselves at the bottom of the ladder, this time as the underclassmen of Reading High School, the Class of 1954. We started our year by electing our officers, who have proved that our confi¬ dence was not misplaced. They are George Peach, President; Gudrun Plater, Vice-President; Marilyn Brown, Secretary; and Linda Long, Treasurer. Mrs. Wadsworth Is our class adviser. After our c ' ass had been organ¬ ized, we held our Sophomore Hop, a definite success. During the year many Sophomores have made a good showing on the various teams. As the year goes by, we realize more and more that we are actually part of the High School at last, and we are looking forward to the next two rungs on the ladder. 12 Front Row: Nancy Rodgers, Jacqueline Selfridge, Rose Venuti, Billie Porter, Lois Stevenson, Joanne Phillips, Joan Sweat, Phyllis McKie, Priscilla Marshall, Rita Tower, Mary Tower, Arlene Penno.

As we prepared to tear off the final worn pages of the old 1951 calendar, our last glance meant only one thing to us all, vacation and Yuletide festivities . . . Upon our return we needed no calendar to remind us that midyear exams were imminent . . . Meanwhile a host of new activities presented themselves . . . basketball claimed many of the athletic boys and girls, while such interest as Student Council, Guidance and Camera Club busied many others of us ... As each day grew milder, thoughts turned to the glorious season of Spring . . . with its accompanying new activities . . . Officers: Nancy Chamberlain, Louis Mar+inage, Lorraine LeBlanc, Dick Burhoe. CLASS OF 1953 Back for our second year of hard work and pleasure, we Juniors had high expectafions. Very sopn we elected our class officers: President, Richards Burhoe; Vice-President, Lorraine LeBlanc; Secretary, Nancy Chamerlain; Treasurer, Louis Martinage. Mrs. Franzen is our adviser. Before long, brains began spinning with plans for the Junior Prom, a gala winter dance, and the Junior-Senior Reception, which ushered in the Spring. Athletic m embers of the class participated in football, volleyball, and basketball. All the athletes trained hard, especially our football players. At the end of the season, the boys on the squad elected Albie Runge captain for our Senior year. Many Juniors participated in the volleyball games at lunch¬ time and enjoyed the team-system inaugurated by the Student Council. By the end of the year we were definitely adapted to being Juniors, only to find our Senior year looming ahead. 27 I Front Row: John Coakley, Bruce Campbell, David Condon, Richard Johnson, William Colby, Richard Dobbin, Edward Doucette, Robert Cryts, Edward Ceaser.

As we sat in the assembly hall that first day, we felt somewhat dejected. The teachers, the classrooms, and the building — none were familiar. We were no longer important ninth-graders, but mere sophomores. Somehow, as the fall wore on, we gained confidence and set about organizing the class and electing our officers. They were as follows: president, Joyce Frazier; vice-president, Tom Lyons; secretary, Helen Ceder; and treasurer, Ellen Hill. As the football season got underway, we faithfully watched the upperclassmen every Saturday, even though few of our own classmates were playing for the Red and Black. Soon after our Christmas vacation we were faced with our first really big exams — midyears. Most of us, however, came through successfully, and we began preparing for the first big social event of the season, the Sophomore Hop. With this event behind us, we once again found ourselves confronted with exams — this time in the form of finals. As graduation neared, we looked ahead with eagerness to our junior year. As we returned to school in September 1950, we realized that our high-school days were passing rapidly. Now juniors, we were living in a troubled world, for the preced¬ ing June had marked the start of a historic war and we recognized fully that more and more of our friends would be drawn to Korea to fight an unavoidable battle against aggression. Soon we elected the following leaders to guide us throughout the year: president, Richard Gelotti; vice-president, John McNabola; secretary, Eleanor Coneeney; and treasurer, Ellen Hill. During the fall we cheered to the point of exhaustion at the Satur¬ day afternoon gridiron clashes, but we were well rewarded by the good showing that the Rockets made. At the football banquet we happily learned that Pokey Roche had been elected captain for the following year. After the football season had been completed, basketball started with hardly a moment ' s hesitation. We found that our class was well represented in this sport too. The half-way mark in our Junior year appeared to us in the form of midyear exams. The Junior Prom, as usual, was a great success, a thing to be remembered. As soon as spring arrived, the baseball and track teams began their seasons. It was all too soon that we found ourselves planning our farewell dance for the seniors, the Junior-Senior Reception. We knew that our junior year was coming to a close, not, however, without giving us an opportunity to worry once again about final exams. As we watched graduation and the activities connected with it, we anticipated with a little sadness our own senior year. 50 As 1951 August vacation-days moved on to September school days, we, the Class of 52, suddenly realized that it was once more time to take up our pens in order to record the third and last page of our history. Thus we set about making this, our senior year, one long to be remembered. We elected the following leaders: president, John McNabola; vice-president, Thomas McNabola; secretary, Eleanor Coneeney; treasurer, Ellen Hill. Before many weeks had passed, however, we paused as each of us felt a great personal sorrow at the loss of our classmate and vice-president, Tom McNabola. We were happy to welcome as a member of the faculty this year Miss Angela Martyn, an exchange teacher from England. As the football season got underway, we proudly cheered our classmates on to victory, ably led by our own cheerleaders. The climax of the football season brought the election of Doris Shukley as Reading High ' s first Football Queen. The annual football banquet left us all a little sad at the thought that next year the excitement of exhaust¬ ing ourselves every Saturday afternoon would be lost to us. We can ' t forget the annual dramatic production. The Play Reading Committee chose as our Senior Play a thrilling mystery, The Ghost Train. The sincere response of the audience rewarded the cast for the many hours spent in rehearsal. An innovation in our school life was the volleyball league, with its closely fought games played during lunch periods. The boys entered into the competition with spirit, and the contests provided excitement for both players and spectators. No sooner had we started to enjoy a tremendous basketball season than we were again confronted with the toil of midyears. With exams over, we began immediately to prepare for June I I and the events preceding it. Actually we were preparing for more than our graduation day. Everything we did — from filling out college applications to having job interviews — was preparing us for the future. College Boards and Guid¬ ance Assemblies played an important part In this getting ready process. As spring drew closer, we hunted for pamphlets and magazines and delved Into encyclopedias and other books In order to write the research theme required in some English IV classes. Our Pioneer, upon which the staff had worked diligently from the beginning of the school year, was given the finishing touches. In April we took time out for an operetta, as either participants or spectators. Up on Old Smoky, based on folk songs and folklore of the Southern Appalachians, was well received by an appre¬ ciative audience. The Senior Prom, fast becoming a tradition In our school, was held on May ninth, to the music of a wonderful orchestra. Time went quickly after the Prom, and gradu¬ ation loomed up in the not-too-dlstant future. There were caps and gowns to be tried on, and exams to be taken. Plans were completed for Baccalaureate, Class Day, and the Senior Banquet. The moment when we shall receive our diplomas Is dravvlng ever nearer, and our calendar numbers only a few more high-school days. We are grateful for the know¬ ledge and friendships we have gained as members of the Class of 1952.
