As we look back, we see that all the phases of our high school program - social, athletic, student government, and scholastic - have contributed to our future preparedness, on the job, in college, or in the armed forces. The first chord in our symphony of preparation was struck when, as Sophomores, in 1952, we began to contribute to the life of our school. During this year we were led by the following officers: President, George Peach, Vice-President, Gudrun Flater, Secretary, Marilyn Brown, Treasurer, Linda Long. Mrs. Wadsworth served us as Class Adviser. Our first social endeavor was the Sophomore Hop, a dance which set the standards for future class dances. Although our class was well represented on various school teams, our main contribution to athletics lay in providing many avid rooters for the Red-and-Black at every competition. Those chilly afternoons on the football field did much to increase our school spirit, and gave us a sense of belonging. Scholastically, we managed to hold our own, and after braving the rigors of final exams we passed into the second movement of our score. Our junior year was one which is memorable for both the quantity and the quality of class activities. The class officers for this year were President, Herbert Scheiner, Vice-President, Gudrun Flater, Secretary, Marilyn Brown, Treasurer, Linda Long. We were advised by Mrs. F ranzen. Because our graduation was in sight, we were very much occupied with our studies, but not so much so that we could not contribute a great deal to school life. Our lunior Prom was a successful event that continues to stand out in our minds. In the sports area, many of our classmates became members of the varsity teams. These Juniors and those who joined the Dramatics Club, the Pioneer Staff, the Baton Squad, and other school groups, forecasted smooth sailing for our senior year. Iune 1953 found us with mixed feelings - relief as we finished final exams, sadness as we bade farewell to the members of the Class of '53 at the Iunior-Senior Reception, f' 'ff X 3 5-M 111113 'gully' e A ,aj t hui .-' , 12 bfi is or aim C055 AS ff 'lg as t I.. - - . 5 - . 75123. - . ' 5 R Q i N uns, idforg X 5 ... rw tmgf , anticipation as we looked forward to being the first graduating class from the new high school, satisfaction at having attained the highest grade in the high school. As we neared the end of our symphony, the tempo increased, for we were not to be the first seniors in the new high school, but rather the last in the oldg and we deter- mined to make our senior year one of the most active the old building had seen. The activity started in the fall, when the RHS football team, captained by Billy Cutcliffe, finished a successful season by defeating Stoneham on Thanksgiving Day. Everybody, it seems, enjoyed cheering for the Rockets and watching the Baton Squad and cheer- leaders go through their paces. At the end of the football season, the ball was passed to those who were concerned with the Senior Play, and Spring Fever enjoyed a very successful two-night stand. With midyears approaching, we began to approach the finale scholastically, with college board classes, guidance forms, and plans for the future occupying much of our time. It was also about this time that photographers appeared on the scene - another sign that preparation of The Pioneer was in progress. Midyears and college board exams having passed, we entered the home stretch. The Senior Executive Board and our senior class officers - William Cutcliffe, Presi- dent, Gudrun Flater, Vice-Presidentp Marilyn Brown, Secretary, and Linda Long, Treasurer - began to work doubly hard in order to attend to all the details of our last few months at Reading High School. Much energy was devoted to making our Senior Prom the memorable occasion that it was. Baccalaureate, Class Day, and the Senior Banquet passed in rapid succession. Finally, with Graduation Day at hand, we knew that our stay in high school was one of the best periods of our lives. As the last bar of our symphony is played, we of the Class of 1954 have many affec- tionate memories of friendships and experiences. We extend our thanks to the faculty, who have devoted themselves to preparing us for our future careers. We know that our gratitude will grow with the years, as we come to a fuller realization of what their devotion has done for us.
