CAROLANN LESLIE 0l 6lfU0l 1 Every school has developed through the years traditions and customs which are held sacred by its students and faculty. Prominent among the time-honored traditions of Reading High School is the passing of the torch by the president of the graduating class to the president of the incoming senior class, with the admoni- tion to keep its flame burning brightly. During the school year this beautifully carved torch occupies a place of honor in the headmaster's office. What is the torch? lt is many things. lt is the loyal and exuberant cheering at football games, the active discussions in the classrooms, the friendship and smiles of greetings in the corridors, the quiet concentration in the study hall. lt is the loyalty expressed through participation in the clubs and school dances. lt is the keen competition that prevails at a sports event, and the solemnity of the thrilling induction into the National Honor Society. lt is the service exemplified by the sale of RHS book covers and the Student Council's Shares in Democracy proiect. It is the awesome feeling of responsibility for the senior and the bond of unity for the underclassmen. It is the light of learning and enduring truth. It is the cumulative parts that make up the whole of school spirit and tradition. We have endeavored to manifest this spirit and tradition in our yearbook, the Pioneer of 1956. During each school year, the light and rays of our torch glow steadily as we progress through the activities of Reading High School from fall to spring.

Fall, with its gaily colored leaves and crisp winds, brought our retum to RHS. Almost imperceptibly that intangible thing called school spirit reasserted itself, enhanced by the excitement of the football season and all its varied activities. The first class dances brought another bond of unity among the underclassmen, and each new event evoked a spirit of loyalty and good sportsmanship. In the classroom, with the help of our teachers, we burnished the flames of truth and knowledge glowing steadily in our torch. 1-I '1 1 W 51 ,f YTg'57fJ51V X r 744' M 'Tiifi 1+ +w' 'f We 'g5'f7qmX ef2Qwwfki'Wq-r+E91 .M 59,9114 QW f. xl I mm,Z7t:P'5vfJ313l- 1FfQ3W ff' V -Y 9 3 'll PZD' 'N - ' h W X- 1EJ'ff' ', ' Q ,f iw 9 gmggf Ma K fl' Ji fl,7,q5.'fv 1 'yy H Mk K' , '1 5 t x 4 4 X XV- x X 1' fr X ,X u x X ,,f ,X X fk f 4 CT XN 'il if X K: X ff A' WX ' X iq-,fl fi?

FITZGERALD Mr. Fitzgerald, administrative assistant to Mr. Sussmann, has always Q been regarded as a counselor and a friend. He seems to be every- where at once, helping to keep the school running smoothly and offering guidance to the pupils. His concern for each member of the student body has won our admiration and respect. I2 .xgcfmilfzidlfralfion MR. RUDOLF SUSSMANN Our Principal's efficient policy of administration has made this school one that we can look upon with pride. Under the wise counsel and understanding advice of Mr. Sussmann, Reading High School has continually upheld a high standard of scholarship and ideals. Our success in achieving our goals through the school years has been due in large measure to his help and efforts. Left to right: Mr. R. Bronner, Mr. C. W Upon entering Reading High School, each freshman is given a battery of tests under the supervision of our guidance counselors. On the basis of these tests and other informa- tion, the Guidance Department advises him in his choice of studies. As he progresses through high school, further tests, occupational conferences conducted by specialists in vari- ous fields, pre-college meetings, and individual consulta- tions help him to make post-graduation plans, as well as to gain the maximum benefit from his high-school years. The competent members of this department offer a wealth of information and a sincere, friendly interest in the present and future well-being of each of us. X l I ' X . . 1 .

History courses send students to books to learn about every phase of the world's history, from the achievements of the Greek Empire to the meanings and privileges of our own form of government. As students of history we learn that no lasting good is done for the world by merely studying the world of yesterdayp knowledge is beneficial only when it is applied to the world of today and used in the world of tomorrow. And now tor the Battle of Bunker Hill. I4 , YV Seated, left to right. Mrs J. R uns,-Se M. E. Shay, chairman, Miss R en rs C B Ab o Standing, left to right: Miss F. L Updike, Miss S.

Whether we are freshmen meeting our first Shakespearean drama, sophomores exploring the American Dream in the litera- ture of our own land, iuniors seeing the French Revolution come to life through the words of Charles Dickens, or seniors with visiting minds sharing the thoughts of renowned essayists, we partake of a full and varied reading fare. Written and oral composition, vocabulary-building, a thoughtful exchange of ideas through classroom discussions - all are part of the busy hours spent in our English classes. Writing a research paper is a maior project for college-bound seniors. I5 me ,Arid Seated, left to right: Mrs. E. H. Macdona , L' rar'a Mr. S. Quagenti, Music. Our fine arts courses share many obiectives. ln the heart of the main building is the library, bright and cheerful, stocked with fine books and periodicals, and a center of quiet industry throughout the day. In the music rooms, classes meet for Music in Everyday Life, or Chorus, and pupils practice for band and orchestra. ln the art room, students work in a variety of media in Art l and ll, and learn the elements and principles of design in Art Appreciation classes. All of these phases of our school program help to develop in RHS pupils an appreciation of the aesthetic values of life. X 4 .. A . , it . QQ Q ,W is 5 K f ,:,., XX.. ' L Q' if . ,Wm -A N. 'H -NY!

As we can better understand world problems by studying history, we gain a greater knowledge and understanding of foreign lands through our study of their languages and culture. Language students busy themselves translating French stories and novels, scanning Virgil, and learning Spanish vocabulary, as well as mastering the intricacies of grammar and composition. A quick tour of the Language Department reveals students memorizing Mr. Spencer's Words of Wisdom, studying Le Petit Vocabulaire, or listening to foreign- language recordings. To supplement their knowledge, all classes devote some time to a study of the culture and geography of foreign lands. Reading of Le Silence de la Mer, a story of the French during World War I, brings added appreciation of French life. I7 ynafiremalficd I sr iff? Seated, left to right: Miss M. E. White, Mrs. M. E.

In the scientific world of today, the importance of mathematics cannot be too greatly stressed. At Reading High, math is a popular subiect, and courses in advanced mathematics are elected by many students. At least two years of math are required for all pupils, and the program ranges from such basic mathematical concepts as the workings of the decimal system to trigonometry and C. P. 3. Reading High students find their courses in mathematics an exciting challenge for the exacting and precise mind. NK -1 Over one and up three. 18 l dence . . -we N K .5 V - in Q .ig . 5 its ' H+- .

A i RHS ofters a comprehensive program of science courses designed to meet the needs and interests of all students, whatever their post-graduation plans. Freshmen receive an introduction to this program through courses in general science. For most students, biology is their first specialized course in science. Other courses include chemistry, and those tirst scared moments of donning aprons to begin experiments, physics, with its complicated apparatus, pre-induction physics, for the boys soon to enter the service, and earth science. Latest addition to the science program is a course in anatomy, oFFered to senior girls. 5 K X Q Q. ef' 'N-naar Dissection intricacies - a fascinating phase of biology.

Many RHS students enter the realm of business after graduation. To provide for their needs, a well-rounded commercial program offers stenography, typing, and bookkeeping courses. In other courses, students gain acquaintanceship with modern business machines. Each year pupils take The National Business Entrance Tests in Stenography and Bookkeeping. A passing grade indicates that they have met minimum business standards set by business itself. Here at RHS students may put their knowledge to immediate practical use, for business maiors do secretarial work for each department. Thus they both gain experience and perform innumerable services to the school. ,Q Speed and accuracy are continually emphasized. 0 !Qfacfic0L!.J4rf5 '53 Left to right: Mrs. A. T. Landini, Mr. D.

Here at RHS, girls study a variety of subiects relating to home economics. Nutrition and household management are of interest to all future homemakers. An enioyable fashion show is the culmination of the year's study of fashion and design. Boys are given the opportunity to gain a knowledge of crafts and mechanics in our well-equipped shop. Their study of industrial arts gives them valuable training in such fields as mechanical drawing, woodworking, metal work, and automotive mechanics. is w?

Athletics comprises a very enioyable and profitable part of our life at Reading High School. The three seasons of our school year bring many and diverse sports activities. In our newly dedicated gymnasium and on the athletic field, both boys and girls engage in active and exciting games and exercises. Competi- tive spirit and good sportsmanship are features of all games, whether intramural or interschool, as RHS students learn the values of sound health and of team play. 35,4 3 fi' i 22 t Up and over!

JU' f L5 OP? On September l9, l955, we freshmen, the Class of l959, nervously filed into the school auditorium to be introduced to our homeroom teachers and to the school in general. Tensely we waited for the time when our names would be called, and we would go to our new homerooms. ln homerooms we were handed maps and a booklet that was supposed to tell us how to get around. Nevertheless, during the whole first week bewildered freshmen wandered around the school looking for classrooms and getting acquainted. On September 27, l955, the first Student Council meeting was held. The freshmen members are Laurel Calvin, Ronald Chess, William Herrick, Bruce Latham, Kenneth Mullen, Richard Gallagher, Betsy Smith, Linda Stott, and Mary Ellen Sias. The Freshman Frolic, our first high-school dance, was held on October 22, 1955, in the school cafeteria. The music was supplied by Bill Phinney, and the cafeteria was decorated with pumpkins and autumn leaves cut out of colored paper. ln the fall, one of the main activities of the freshman class was the freshman football team, which consisted of thirty-four boys under the instruction of Coach Pacino. Also in the fall we freshmen elected our class officers. They are as follows: president, Robert Burpee, vice-president, Fred Squire, secretary, Mary Ellen Sias, and treasurer, Kenneth Mullen. One of the new experiences we had was mid-year and final exams, which kept the whole school studying like mad for almost a week. When the Shares in Democracy campaign came along in January, the freshmen gladly contributed their bit. Although none of the freshman homerooms sold the most shares, we still did an excellent iob. The leading freshman homerooms were Room l 27 with fifty-four shares, Room 3 with thirty shares, Room 5 with twenty- seven shares, and Room 6 with twenty-four shares. At the beginning of the basketball season the regular cheerleaders, Miss Nichols, and the freshman members of the Student Council elected the freshman cheerleaders from the fifty girls who tried out. In March the freshman basketball team ran up quite a record of victories in the Eastern Massachusetts Junior Headmasters' Tournament at the Boston Garden. Although the team was finally stopped by Natick in the semi-finals, it made an outstanding showing. The Class of l959 has enjoyed an excellent year, and we are looking forward to entering the ranks of sophomores next September. 26 l HOMEROOM 4 Seated, left to right: Virginia Cutler, Kathryn Doherty, Nancy Chandler, Katherine Chase, Patricia Davis, Arline Carr, Patricia Chase, Jean DiCesare, Ellen Carter, Margaret Denbow.

The Football Rockets ofl 955 produced a very creditable record of four wins and three losses for the season. Although the team lacked size, it had plenty of drive and spirit, and in all but one game was leading its opponent at the end of the first half. Under the supervision of our new head coach, Mr. Hollingsworth, the Rockets' season was launched by a win over Punchard. Fleet halfback Bill McMahon provided a sparkling 80-yard run in the first play of the game to set the stage for a l9-'I4 victory. As the season passed, Wakefield, a Class B team, was the only opponent to score a decisive win over the Rockets. The other games were closely fought, and, led by Captain Jack Howard, the team enioyed a colorful and successful season which culminated in a victory over Stoneham, in the traditional Thanksgiving Day contest, by a 20-6 score. An enjoyable banquet concluded the football program. During the ceremonies following the dinner, the award for the Most Improved Player was presented to Bill McMahon, and the Ingersoll Award was given to Jack Howard. It was announced that fullback Bob White will lead the l 956 Rockets. VARSITY Front, left to right: Bill Keefe, John Burhoe, Steve Claughton, Conrad Ferrara, John Turner, Charles Clattenburg.

On Friday, October 21, l955, the freshmen held a very successful record hop. D.J. Bob Phinney spun the platters in the gaily decorated cafeteria in which harvest decorations presented a panorama of color. With the help of Miss White and Miss Updike, class advisers, the Freshmen Frolic was a big success which will be happily remembered by all who attended.

The lights were lowered, the audience hushed, and the curtain opened on the Senior Class production of You Can't Take It With J You, written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. On November l8 and I9 the auditorium at Reading High School resounded with laughter as the audience witnessed this hilarious play concerning the Sycamore family, complete with fireworks, ballet dancing, a burlesque queen, and two Russians. Faced with such problems as 750 properties, unusual sound eFFects, and eccentric characterizations, the cast and committees of the Senior Play worked long and hard after school to ensure the success of this production. Judging from the reactions of, the audience and the comments overheard later, the daily rehearsals and long hours were well worth the effort, and You Can't Take It With You was considered a great contribution to the annals of Reading High School.

Full of ambition, but lacking experience, four editors began last September to make a dummy of the i956 Pioneer. As the year progressed, the editors found that the work of producing a worthy yearbook involves many people. A large group, the Profile Staff, put in many hours writing the brief biographies of the seniors. The Business Staff convassed Reading and surrounding communities for advertising, while Homeroom Collectors worked to ensure a wide circulation for the still embryonic book. Layout was the main watchword for the Art StaFf. Working closely with the Editorial Staff, who planned and provided copy and cutlines, the Art Staff measured, cropped, and remeasured to arrive at attractive and balanced pages. As writers finished collecting and writing their copy, the efficient Typing Staff took over, trans- forming sometimes almost undecipherable long-hand to neatly typed copy for the printer. After months of work under the direction of Miss Roy, Miss Shay, Mr. Hanlon, and Miss Alden, Pioneer workers could relax and await the Senior Banquet and the debut of Pioneer l956.

Going Up!!! 62 The Reading Rockets' basketball team contributed numerous thrills to the i 955-56 Middlesex League race while compiling a fine record of nine victories and five defeats in league competition. On opening night, Reading was defeated by Concord in a close game as Concord, with only four seconds remaining, won by a foul shot. ln their first meeting with Winchester, the Rockets, employing a freeze, held their high-scoring opponents to only ten points in the first two quarters, but were eventually defeated as Winchester dumped in forty-nine points during the last half. On January 20, the Rockets defeated Wakefield 99-66 as Don McGillicuddy, the team captain, broke the league record for points scored in a game by throwing in fifty-seven points. ln its hardest fought game of the year, Reading lost to Lexington 48-46. The Rockets, fighting back to make up a seven-point deficit at halftime, tied Lexington 46-46 at the end of the regulation time. After a scoreless overtime, the teams entered a sudden death period, and with less than a minute left to play, Lexington scored the winning basket. The Rockets ended the season by defeating Wakefield 67-54 as McGill scored twenty-one points to set a new Middlesex League scoring record with 345 points in one season. The victory put Reading in third place in the final league standings and enabled them to participate in the Bay State Tournament as a climax to a successful season. READING 55 .... ....

Led by sparkling plays by the captain, Nancy Fitzpatrick, and by a streak of faultless rebounds from Sue Peale, the RHS girls came from behind in the second half to tie the score, only to lose in the last few minutes of game time 3l-25. However, from this first game to the last, it was evident that Reading's team would present keen competition to the girls from all neighboring towns. Highlighting the season was the action-packed game with Punchard. Excellent guarding from Margie Brown, Jane Strout, and Lolly Horlitz, and some fabulous swish shots from Karen Mich kept the score close as Reading and Punchard girls fought basket to basket. ln the last few minutes of play Punchard made the final basket and RHS was defeated 37-35. Enthusiasm and suspense abouncled in Reading's game with Wakefield. Team play was the outstanding factor as our forwards-Mich, Baker, and Fitzpatrick - maneuvered a series of tricky plays to keep the opponent's scoring to a minimum. However, Wakefield's height and speed defeated our fighting spirit and Reading lost 9-6 in a close decision. Although the scores of this season's games were lower than the expected goal, an outstanding team will certainly shape up next year to give our opponents sharp competition. Jan keeps her eye on that ball. A lump ball takes fancy footwork. Reading forwards work together to elude close guarding. 65 CL... 0219 8 CLASS OFFICERS Richard Hoyt, vice-president, Maria Galante, secretary, John Killilea, president.

We started to climb this ladder when we entered the doors of the new high school as green, scared freshmen, but we could take comfort from the knowledge that everyone else was new to the school too. We are the class of firsts: the first to enter the new high school as freshmen, and the first to complete four years in the new building. Our sophomore year began much differently from our previous year in the high school. By last September we knew our way around. We greeted old friends, renewed old acquaintances, and walked around as if we finally knew what high school was all about. This year has proved to have a great many advantages over our freshman year, including having homerooms on the first floor and new lockers. A general feeling that we have definitely come up in the world has prevailed. A few days after school started, we settled down to studying in earnest. Before long, we proceeded to elect our class officers: John Killilea, president, Richard Hoyt, vice-president, Marie Galante, secretary, and Richard Dingwell, treasurer. With these fine leaders and our class adviser, Miss Hilton, we planned our class dance. The decoration committee worked many an eighth period in the cafeteria, painting, past- ing or cutting. As fall drew to a close, our Sophomore Hop became a reality. Everyone who had worked hard to make it a great dance was rewarded by its obvious success. During football, basketball and baseball seasons, we spent a good deal of our time in the support of the teams. Another part of our time was spent practicing for these games, as members of the teams, baton squad, or band. Coming to the end of a year that has been full of so many good times and that has given us so many memories, we look back on what we have done and think of what we have learned from our experiences. We hope that in our next two years of climbing our ladder of experience we will do as well as this year's seniors, the Class of l956, have done. As the same doors that opened on us two short years ago close behind us for the summer, we look forward to the summer and to next fall, when we shall return as iuniors. 66 2 1 .

This was the year to choose a career or a college, and to bring up those marks! Apprehensive but determined, we took up our pencils, paper, and books, and prepared ourselves to continue our climb. We found little trouble, however, in adiusting ourselves to our new elevation, and within a few days we had forgotten we had ever been anything else but juniors. Soon things really began to go 'round. The first step on our whirling merry-go-round was the election of officers. The winning candidates were Richard DeLong, president, Stephen Zeoli, vice-president, Carol Byme, secretary, and Edward Donley, treasurer. Under their leadership our painted ponies began to prance faster and with expert precision. When the autumn winds began to blow, our football team stepped out on the field to play a marvelous season, climaxed by the winning of the Thanksgiving Day game. Earlier in November several members of our class took part in making the Senior Play a big success. Some of us iumped at the chance to take part in the three Drama Club plays, one of which was selected for the Drama Festival. After the groans and moans of midyears and an exciting basketball season, spring came and the young man's fancy turned to thoughts of - baseball, as our boys launched a very successful season. Then the tempo began to accelerate. Chatters and whispers could be heard in all the corridors, talk of gowns and colors, and Whom shall I ask? What for? The Junior Prom, of course -the social function of the year as far as we were concerned. Arrangements for the dance were ably handled by enthusi- astic and ambitious committees, who made the big event a happy and memorable night for everyone. Hardly had dresses been hung on the hangers before the Junior-Senior Reception was upon us, and the excitement and tension of the wide-eyed seniors affected us all on that wonderful evening. Now it is June. Finals are over. It is summer again, and do you know what, kids? We're seniors! Our brightly lighted carrousel is still spinning, faster, faster, hopes, dreams. . .Where will it cease? 70 HOMEROOM 208 Seated, left to right: Joyce Jellison, Jacqulyn Jones, Janet Lundberg, Cecile Martel, Ann Jenkins, Barbara Mahoney, Janice Kimball, Mary Lou Langevin, Carol MacKeil, Carol Mangold, Maureen Griffiths, Janet Lincoln, Marcia Johnson, Brenda Lehman, Barbara Kitch, David Mader.

With regret, we Seniors realize that the moment has arrived when we, like all the others before us, must surrender the torch to the next class.

As sophomores we possessed so many raw materials with which to build, that we often wondered if we could ever turn them into a finished product by the time we were seniors. Little did we know that with the aid of many skilled craftsmen we would develop rapidly in the ensuing months. But how was our ship built, and how do we know she will prove worthy in traveling the great sea of life? September 8, l953, was the day on which the keel for our ship, the U. S. S. '56, was laid. Soon we felt ourselves being encouraged to accept responsibility, both socially and academically. With the aid of our newly elected class officers-president, John Turner, vice-president, Conrad Ferrara, secretary, Carol Gerrior, and treasurer, Joseph Haley - we set about planning our very successful Sophomore Hop. Along with responsibility came a new experience - midyears. After some cramming and much worrying, even- tually we all survived to find ourselves better prepared to meet future challenges. Football and basketball games, Dramatic Club, Chorus, and other extracurricular activities led us to the realization that responsibility is equally important in sportsmanship and citizenship. The foundation for the '56 was completed, but much remained to be done before she could be launched. Our iunior year, as we entered the new high school, brought with it individual efforts to make perseverance and cooperation the rudder of the '56. Through these qualities we would be guided to prove ourselves worthy of the endeavors of our faculty. Our social calendar was happily highlighted by our memorable April Showers Junior Prom. Stars shone brightly indeed when, through the combined efforts of our dramatic club members, our presentation of The Man in the Bowler Hat won recognition in the Regional Drama Festival. During the winter we enthusiastically heralded the news of the institution of a school paper, and immediately bent our efforts to make it a popular success. Student government, under the leadership of our president, Kenny Latham, aided us in giving the seniors a graduation gift of the Junior-Senior Recep- tion. Our excitement was measureless when the baseball team entered the semi-finals of the Eastern Massachusetts Schoolboy Baseball Tournament. Through these extracurricular activities we came to realize the serious importance of working diligently with others to increase the worthiness of our ship. As a new fall came into view, we suddenly realized that the '56 would have to be completed in 180 short days! A new breath of life was woven into the rigging as the craftsmen worked feverishly with redoubled efforts to complete the proiect. As seniors we discovered that we set the example for the underclassmen, and we were determined to make a good impression in all our activities. Football, with our captain, Jack Howard, as guard, sparked our Saturday afternoons during crisp autumn weather. A season of success was climaxed with a Thanksgiving Day victory over Stoneham, won especially for our new white bucks coach, Mr. Hollingsworth. Our peppy cheerleaders and precision baton squad did much to heighten school spirit during those exciting afternoons. On November I8 and 19 our dramatic talent revealed itself for what it really was, and the senior per- formance of You Can't Take lt With You became an outstanding success. There was a flurry of activity as class pictures were taken, copy was written, and finals layouts were made for our Pioneer. We had so many memorable events to record for posterity that it seemed as though our yearbook would fairly burst its seams. As midyears approached, so also did college board classes, achievement tests, guidance assemblies, college applications and other plans for the future. Graduation was iust around the corner, and final preparations were in order. Suddenly our efforts were being concentrated on the never-to-be-forgotten Senior Prom. We danced on air, not yet fully realizing that one of the most beautiful and serious events in our lives was about to take place. Baccalaureate, Class Day, and the Senior Banquet passed quickly in review. Finally-Gradua- tion Day! Our ship was finished, it had been molded and shaped into a thing of graceful beauty. The time for launching had arrived. We now find ourselves sailing out of our harbor of safety. Our ship is sound, she is built upon a sturdy foundation. We can not, and we will not, fail those who have placed their faith, hopes, and dreams upon our decks. 82 KENNETH C.
