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.
