THE OFFICE STAFF This year Mrs. McDonough and Miss Gallagher have come to Reading Memorial High School to join Miss Underhill on the office staff. Since keeping impor¬ tant records and doing the numerous jobs of a typical high school office occupy a great deal of time, several students assist the secretaries by typing, answering the telephone, and running errands around the school. While performing their usual duties, the friendly mem¬ bers of this staff are always ready to help anyone who appears at the office window. Evelyn H. Lazenby, secretary; Mar¬ garet B. Clewley, supervisor of health; Aldona Bell, school nurse. HEALTH STAFF The members of the efficient Health Staff at Read¬ ing Memorial High School, Mrs. Clewly and Mrs. Bell, the school nurses, and their secretary, Mrs. Lazenby, are always ready to help pupils who become ill or injured either in school or at a school sponsored event.

Brad Perry and Mr. Bronner look over the new Driver Ed. car. DRIVER EDUCATION Each year under the able guidance of Mr. Bronner, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Ham, and Mr. Miksen, many juniors and seniors receive their drivers’ licenses. The Driver Education Course consists of thirty hours of class work and six hours of behind-the-wheel training. During the class work the students learn rules of safe driving, road courtesy, basic mechanics, and care of the automobile. Filmstrips and informal lectures by the teachers supple¬ ment the work-book text. After passing a final test, the students receive actual driving experience, both by ob¬ serving their fellow students and by driving themselves. When these students receive their licenses they are capable, careful, and courteous drivers. Will Carol Page, Anne Sebeika, Laura Richards, Nancy Davis, and Mr. Anderson get back safely with Marcia Poock at the wheel? 19

Kitty Maloy and Donald Lane move through the lunch line. CAFETERIA STAFF Five days a week, in the high school’s modern kitchen, the Cafeteria Staff works to prepare a nourish¬ ing hot meal for students who buy their lunches. These capable women, assisted by several student volunteers, also have charge of the sale of milk and ice cream to those pupils who prefer to bring their own lunches. The members of the Cafeteria Staff are important to Reading Memorial High School because of the excellent service they render to each individual student. Helen Beaman, Anna Vickery, Genevieve Demenkow, Edna Fra¬ zier, Evelyn Mullen. THE CUSTODIANS The efficient high school custodians are always ready to spend many extra hours at special affairs such as dances, sporting events, and P.T.A. meet¬ ings. This group, under the leadership of Mr. Young, plays an important part in keeping the building clean and attractive, and is also respon¬ sible for the care of the spacious grounds. These able men and women deserve the gratitude of every student because of their continuous work to improve the appearance of Reading Memorial High School. Seated: Stuart R. Nichols, Elmer E.
