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

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 .

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
