Reading Memorial High School «« a conquest of new fields.” 3

Page 6 text:

Introduction Pioneer — the name itself alludes to a spirit of adventure, a search for new discoveries, a con¬ quest of new fields. We at Reading Memorial High School are building a foundation on which we can support and maintain our positions in these fields of endeavor. But our foundation in¬ cludes more than a mere memorization of facts, theories, applications and methods. We are con ¬ structing a basis for human understanding, for all facets of a highly complex society. Today, however, the threat of atomic warfare raises the importance of a comprehensive scholas¬ tic background. We realize that destruction is not the only alternative, that new discoveries will be made, that new benefits to humanity will evolve. This realization gives us a goal, an ideal to be reached through education and understanding. Thus, Pioneer is a record of our activities in an age that offers the greatest challenge to our understanding and achievements. It is the record of a time when continual re-evaluation is impera¬ tive. But more than that, it is the record of memories and events in an age where they would soon be forgotten were it not for the annals kept. 2
