Reading Memorial High School - Pioneer Yearbook (Reading, MA)

MR. LUKE HALPIN We of the Class of 1955 dedicate our yearbook to Luke Halpin, whose recent death deeply grieved the administra- tion, faculty, and student body, as well as the whole community. Mr. Halpin, a highly respected member of the faculty, was appointed a teacher of mathematics in Reading in 1922. Later he became head of the Department of Guidance and Assistant Principal. From the beginning Mr. Halpin proved to be a superior teacher and a leader of youth. He was a composite of cheerfulness, firmness, and understanding. For thirty-two years he helped boys and girls to become men and women, as well as competent math students. We are honored to dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Halpin, an outstanding teacher, scholar, and man.

The new Reading High School has been designed to prepare students for this work, and time will prove its success. ln our i955 Pioneer we wish to focus a spotlight on the highlights of the first year of the new R H S . . . on the building itself, on the people in it who gave it life and purpose, and on the ceaseless activities -cur- ricular and extracurricular - which go on within its walls. All of these we shall remember as we look back upon our many-faceted, happy days as the first seniors in the new Reading High. 5
