One of our most able directors is Mr. Spencer who has been a member of the Reading High School since 1938. In 1946, after proving his ability as a language teacher, he was appointed as the head of the language department at our school. In this position he has maintained our language courses in keeping with the ever-changing trends in education. Mr. Spencer’s active interest in the students at RMHS is shown both in and out of the classroom. For many years he has taken a large part in promot¬ ing the American Field Service program in Reading, and he has also directed many Senior plays. As the director he has proved to be the producer, prompter, and chief stage hand. Any of us who have worked wit h him or have been members of his classes are aware of his never ending patience. With his devotion to his profession, he stimulates a similar interest in his pupils. Latin, otherwise a dead language, is suddenly revitalized under his direction. We, the class of 1963, salute Mr. Spencer as he approaches his 25th year at RHMS and proudly dedicate our yearbook to him. He is a man who has gained the respect of all the students who have known him. Without his capable leadership, many activities would be left undirected. 2 Here ' s one you won’t get.

Table of Contents Page 8 Page 20 Page 28 Page 76 The Directors and Producers The Supporting Players The Drama The Stars Introduction We are often told, in a variety of ways, that life is a drama unfolding on the stage of the world, and including each of us in a co-starring role. It is difficult, however, for us to apply this philosophy to life because we are each caught up in our separate worlds, and cannot see that each world is a part of the whole. The world is simply too large to come into the perspective of an individual. One of the scenes which we do have in common, how¬ ever, and which is within our comprehension is high school; a sub-plot enriching the main plot. Although we retain our individual worlds, still we work together here. It is perhaps easier in high school than on any other set” to realize the synchronization of many lives and many worlds into an all- inclusive whole. The purpose of the Pioneer, therefore, is to record the various scenes and activities possible within and essential to a miniature world which we can easily bring into focus. Thus, we may regard the Pioneer as being an epilogue to one act of a drama, and a prologue to the next. 6 The stage but echoes back the public voice.

If the world is a stage and all the people on it are actors, who determines what role or roles a person will play in his lifetime? Unfortunately, there will be occasions when undesirable and unavoidable roles are thrust upon the individual by circumstances beyond his control. Yet, in most instances, the thinking person will be capable of being his own casting director, accept¬ ing or rejecting a variety of roles presented to him by his changing social environment. Thus, in his day-to-day living, the person educated to make critical jud gements can control to a considerable degree whether he will act 10 The drama on a stage loses all significance when the stage becomes crowded with people other than the actors. The actors must be free to play their parts. If the world is a stage then there is not much choice left to us as to whether we become an actor or a part of the audience. Either we add to the confusion of the world by becoming a spectator milling through the activi¬ ties of others or we accept our roles and con¬ tribute to the drama of life. Mr. Ernest G. Spence The actors must be free to play their parts . . . The Guidance Department Miss Helen Hart Mr. Gale M. Webber The guidance department assists the students of Reading High in choosing wisely for the part they will play in the future. The door to the guidance office is always open, whether questions be about educational or occupational planning, or personal problems. The able counselors, Mr. Paskowsky, Miss Hart, Mr. Pacino, and Mr. Webber, aid the students in every possible way. These guidance directors administer tests of learning ability and academic aptitude, academic achievement, vocational aptitude, and various other tests to help the students in planning for their future roles. 12 Mr. Walter G.

Besides being fascinated, some of us were positively confused; but with the aid of upperclassmen and our orientation program, our school life soon became more meaningful. Under the leadership of our faculty advisor, Mr. Webber, John Gall, President; Michael Gazarian, Vice-President; Wendy Whitte- more, Secretary; and Irwin Patterson, Treasurer, our class has made great strides toward accepting a more mature role in school life. New and d ifferent schedules, exams, and the opportunities to join varied activities were among the many challenging avenues open to us. We look forward to an even more rewarding and responsible year as juniors. 24 Dotty Richards, Treasurer; Betty Gilligan, Secretary; Louis Carlow, President; Paul Rivers, Vice President. Dismissal from a Junior Class meeting. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY As we, the class of 1964, stand upon the threshold of our senior year, we can recall many happy experi¬ ences we have had as R.M.H.S. students. Looking back on our junior year, we find that we have attained a greater sense of responsibility and a deeper maturity. With further schooling in mind, we have strived to win high academic honors. Many of us have succeeded in placing our names on the honor roll. To lead us through this extremely important year of our high school education, we chose as our class offi¬ cers: Louis Carlow, president; Paul Rivers, vice-presi¬ dent; Betty Gilligan, secretary; and Dorothy Richards, treasurer. Our class distinguished itself athletically by aiding in the victories of our football, hockey, basketball, and baseball teams. Members of our class also appeared on the baton squad, acted as cheerleaders, played in th band, and cheered on the newly formed pep squad. After a winter of persistent study, we welcomed the social activities of spring. Our first prom was filled with magical moments, and it will always remain as one of our fondest memories. Following our prom was an¬ other highlight of the season, the Junior-Senior Recep¬ tion. At this occasion we paid tribute to the outgoing senior class. Now, as our junior year comes to a close, we look back on our mounting achievements and hope for an even more successful year as seniors. Facing the chal¬ lenge ahead, we hope we are ready to assume our role of leadership. 25 I To set the cause above renown, To love the game beyond the prize, To honor while you strike him down, The foe that comes with fearless eyes.

Throughout the nine game schedule, which included non-league opponents Stoughton and Saugus as well as the team’s traditional Middlesex League rivals, the fortunes of the Rockets rose and fell with great irregularity. After an inauspicious start, losing to both Wakefield and Belmont, the Rockets came alive and edged Concord 22-16. This victory began the longest winning streak of the season for Read¬ ing, for on successive weekends the Rockets defeated Saugus, Stoughton, and Winchester. However, Melrose ended Readings pennant hopes when the powerful Red Raiders edged the under¬ dog Rockets by only 12-6. For the remainder of the season, noth¬ ing went right for the team as it was defeated by Lexington and, in the traditional turkey day encounter, by Stoneham. The loyal Reading fans, as well as Coach Hollingsworth, Coach LaHood, and Coach Chapman, all merit a vote of thanks for their tremendous support and inspiration for the team.

This year’s field hockey season was not too rewarding as far as wins and losses, but the girls played well, using their skills of sportsmanship and teamwork. Led by Miss Virginia Bartlett as coach and the two co-captains, Rita Bertleson and Becky Weeks, the team members played the best game of the season against Danvers. Graduating this year, after having served four years on the varsity team, are Lisa Nargis, Becky Weeks, and Dona Lounsbury. Although these seniors will be missed next year, the team expects to do well with Priscilla John¬ son and Helen Melanson as co-captains. Ladies’ Day at Meadowbrook.

The enthusiastic spark generated by R.M.H.S. cheerleaders was one of the outstanding aspects of the ’62-’63 sport season. After spring tryouts the squad practiced throughout the sum¬ mer months as well as during the school year. Under the guid¬ ance of head cheerleader Kathy Faulkner, the cheerleaders gen¬ rated their enthusiasm and spirit at each of the various sports events. The result of their diligent practicing was their excel¬ lent performance at the games. The cheerleader’s dance took place on Decmber 14, 1962 and had as its theme, Once Upon a Dream.” Blue and white decorations effectively carried out the theme. A blue coach filled the center of the dance floor. Music of Pat Zagaria’s orchestra added to the dream-like atmosphere. After refreshments were served, entertainment was provided by the cheerleaders who sang Once Upon a Dream.” John Gilbert sang Stardust.” On behalf of the cheerleaders, gifts were presented to Mr. Roth, to Miss Bartlett, and to Kathy Faulkner. Football queen Carolyn Erdhardt was presented with a corsage and then danced with incoming co-captains Barry Newell and A1 Tine. The memorable evening was over all too soon, and all at¬ tending found the occasion to be one that was Once Upon a Dream.” Our Football Queen and next year’s Co-Captains. Hours of practice yield fine results. Last Spring tryouts were held and a list was posted containing the names of the 1962 Baton Squad. This peppy group of forty girls set off by their black and white uniforms, added significantly to the spirit at the football games. Co-leaders Judy Sanford and Ginny Flight led them weekly, through various routines. The squad followed through the snappy routines with rhythmic preci¬ sion. The routines, made up by the girls themselves, were of a pleasing var¬ iety. During the half time, with the daily practices in the past, the squad spectacularly performed, displaying the necessary discipline enforced during the week. Popular routines were Hey Look Me Over”, and the special performance for Dads’ Day”. To the ever popular Yellow Rose” kick routine, the girls added unusual pep and spark. The duties of the Baton Squad did not stop on the gridiron, however. The Baton Squad, accompanied by the band and the cheerleaders, marched into town for rallies in the square. Also preceding the four most important games of the season, school rallies were held in which the Baton Squad per¬ formed. Throughout the year, the Baton Squad participated in several parades, and sponsored their annual dance and pot luck supper. The precisioned members of the squad perform their routine. The Baton Squad’s Valentine Dance Baton Squad Dance At the annual Baton Squad Dance, which was held on February 9, 1963, RMHS students whirled to the strains of romantic music provided by the Rivieras,” a newly formed combo at Reading. The theme, With a Song in My Heart,” was portrayed well with hearts and cupids artistical¬ ly arranged in the cafeteria. Entertainment was provided by Dan McBride, along with Liz Rogers, Roz Petrucci, and Elaine Cutter. An enjoyable evening was had by all, and the members of the Baton Squad felt satisfied with their major social event of the year. Dancing to the melody of the Rivieras.

Ice Hockey The 1962-63 Hockey team, from the start of the sea¬ son in November at the jamboree, to the final game in late February, put in the longest season of any R.M.H.S. sports team. Also, the long hours spent in practice added to the grueling schedule the varsity hockey players had to follow. The fruits of the efforts of the team were evident as Reading tied Stoneham 2 to 2 in the league opener on December 8. Wins, heart-breaking losses, and ties followed this game, making the season record four wins, ten losses, and two ties. Although the team was capably led by Coach Dick Burns, co-captains Jim Daly and all-star John Meehan, and helped tremendously by Bob Kullburg, Bill Anzaldi, Mike Green, Craig Murphy, and John Ryan, there was a definite lack of a sustaining offensive drive this year, which actually accounted for the team’s record. Next year the team hopes to make up for the loss of experienced Bob Kullburg and John Meehan, and to strive toward a more successful season.

Tumbling and Apparatus This year, as in the past, Mr. Altoff and Coach Hawks provided interested Reading High boys with the opportunity to display gymnastic talent and to im¬ prove themselves physically under the present physical fitness emphasis. Due to this interest and training, these boys as¬ sumed positions of leadership in the var¬ ious physical education classes.

Led by Captain Rick Baxter, the basket¬ ball Rockets of 1963 played a long, hard season in an unusually good Middlesex League which had three Tech Tourney qual¬ ifiers, Melrose, Concord and Wakefield. Des¬ pite this rugged league competition, and the handicap of not being able to use ace Paul Romano who missed much action due to a knee injury, the Hawkes-coached Rockets compiled a respectable overall record of nine wins and ten losses. After a month of practices, the Rockets met Everett for the first game of the season, December 11. Reading lost 65 to 29, but in the three following non-league games, Read¬ ing beat Methuen twice, and triumphed over Marblehead. In league play, the Rockets first fell victim to an experienced Melrose five, 58 to 45. Reading came back, though, to edge Lexington 61 to 45. Other moments of pride came as the Rockets conquered Stoneham, Concord, and Winchester. In the final league contest Reading beat Belmont, ending league competition on a pleasant and perhaps prophetic note. In this game Captain Baxter put forth his best effort of the season, leading his squad in scoring with 18 points. Reliable seniors Geoff Bell and Dave Hoyt also greatly contributed to the team’s victory. Also important in this same game were juniors Paul Romano and Bob Beeman who, it is hoped, will spark Reading onto greater heights next year, along with juniors Lou Serrechia, and Dave Her¬ rick, and sophomores Tom Kelly, Jack Stark, Phil Chesley, and Jim Hayes.

The Reading wrestlers fared fairly well this year, captained by Dick Cootey. Under the instruction of Coach LaHood, the boys learned the various holds and techniques of wrestling. A few returning lettermen and many sophomores came out for this sport, which is relatively new at Reading. Any interested RMHS boy had the opportunity of joining the weight lifting group which met during the lunch periods. The participants were shown the techniques of weight lifting according to various weight classes. The boys worked out under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Althoff.

One of the first signs of Spring at RMHS is the sight of members of the baseball team practicing in the gym. These practices which start in mid-March continue until good weather arrives, at which time the action be¬ gins on the baseball diamond. Baseball has always been a popular and successful sport at Reading, and this year is no exception. Under the experienced leadership of Cap¬ tain John Meehan and Coach John Pacino the baseball Rockets of 1963 look forward to a successful season. S-t-r-i-k-e! 46 FIRST ROW: R.

The girls on this year’s softball team, led by co¬ captains Becky Weeks and Dona Lounsbury have hopes of outdoing the 8 and 1 record of last year’s softball team. Led by these two spirited and versatile sports en¬ thusiasts and coached by Miss Bartlett, it is likely that the talent and athletic ability of several RMHS girls will combine to make another successful softball season for Reading High. The Girls’ Track Team, which was introduced just last year, has attracted many female couriers. Read¬ ing participated in a large informal meet—the first of its kind in Greater Boston—with approximately ten other high schools. Some of our Reading representatives won trophies at this meet. The main event in Girls’ Track this year will again be the large meet, in addi¬ tion to a few dual and triple events. Girls ' Track FIRST ROW: B. Gilligan, J. Kaminski, R Byerley, Sue Dempster, L.

One of the main high¬ lights of the winter sports season was the state indoor track meet held at Boston Garden January 26. Barry Newell won the Class B championship for the 1000 meter run with a swift time of 2:24.3. Also, at this meet, Rock¬ ets Tom Gallant, Ron Wright, and Glenn Pierce received medals in the mile run, hurdles, and 600 meter events, respectively. The school record in the mile relay was broken at the meet with a time of 2:33.2. During the regular season, Reading edged Lawrence, Keith Academy, and Bishop Fenwick, but dropped matches to Salem, Andover, Beverly, Lowell, and Saint John’s to make an overall record of 3 wins and 5 losses for the season. Outdoor Track The Outdoor Track team has high hopes this year for a successful season. Many of them, after participating in Indoor Track, feel better con¬ ditioned for the rigors of Out¬ door Track.

Student Council At the beginning of the school year, the stu¬ dent body once again elected their representa¬ tives to the Student Council. Under the leader¬ ship of John Swift, President; Barbara Poock, Vice-President; Judy Sanford, Secretary; Martha Carlson, Treasurer and Mr. Ham, advisor, the Student Council works with the administration to develop an effective and pleasant school so¬ ciety. The Council has become the student voice in school government. The Student Council has shown its strength in leadership by establishing and maintaining the school Code of Ethics, and by forming many committees for efficient school govern¬ ment. The Attendance and Behavior Commit¬ tee, which meets with the administration and discusses matters of student behavior, and the Cafeteria Advisory Committee, which is con¬ cerned with all phases of cafeteria operation, are important committees of the Council. Red Key Committee members serve as ushers and hosts at school functions. The annual S tudent Council Dance was held in April, and was one of the memorable social affairs of the season. The general purpose of the Student Council is, as stated in its constitution, to promote the best interests of the student body and the the school.” National Honor Society In March, 1962, eighteen juniors and seniors became members of the National Honor Society at a special school assembly. At this annual induction ceremony the four determi ning traits of the organization were emphasized— character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Those students who have shown themselves as deserving the recognition of faculty and students alike were re¬ warded for their achievements by membership in this nation-wide society. NHS students remain members not only throughout their academic years, but for a lifetime. Reading can be proud of its ever-increasing membership of meritorious students.

As well as acquainting its staff with the procedure of newspaper publication, it serves the student body by reporting events of school life. The staff of Rocket Hi-Lites, under the � , direction of Mr. Hodgkins, learns the fundamentals of news reporting and strives to present effective feature material. Controversial questions are discussed in editorials. Financed through efforts of the business staff, each publication of Hi-Lites is made possible by the co-operation of the student body. 60 BUSINESS STAFF Tevis Roalson, Margaret Leonard, Christine Tarbox, Pat Darby, Peggy Staples, Stephanie Fuller, Janice Whitaker, Marjorie Berninger, Kathy Alexander, Priscilla Johnson, Miriam Smith, JoAnn Green, Janice Ruscitti, Randy Cowell, Holly Phillips, Susan Petkewich, Linda Milano, Janice Kaminsky.

PROFILE STAFF The combined efforts of many seniors and underclass¬ men have contributed to our final goal—the publication of the 1963 Pioneer. Our editors, chosen in the spring of their junior year, decided on the theme of the theater. The first major task encountered was the writing of the numerous profiles. Editors Sue Harding and Gail Jamison supervised the gathering of the material and the writing of the profiles. The Art Staff Editors, Tina Paulson and Pat McPhee had the job of artfully arranging the entire layout of the book. The various descriptions of the sports and activities were handled by the Literary Editors, Milly Foye, Bonnie Kates, and Paul Massiglia. Under the direc¬ tion of Editor Glenda Cecil, the Caption Crew was re¬ sponsible for the teachers’ quotes and the captions under the pictures. Perhaps one of the most important staffs was the Business Staff. Sandy Berry and Fred Anderson some¬ how managed to balance the books and make it financial¬ ly possible for us to publish the Pioneer. We were espe¬ cially fortunate to have Kathy Connors join our staff this year as the artist. Her talent was a great asset to the Pioneer. It fell upon the capable leadership of Jackie Frazier to supervise the typing of all material. After a frantic scramble to meet the first deadline, progress went relatively well, and by spring, our book was ready for the press. We wish especially to commend our Editor-in-Chief, Dick Holt, and our Co-ordinator, Berjouhi Arzigian for their untiring efforts to make this the best Pioneer yet. We are grateful also to Mr. D’Orlan- do and Mr. Hutchinson for their guidance and advice. Without them, the 1963 Pioneer would have been impos¬ sible. The entire staff deserves a word of praise for the indi¬ vidual hard work that went into the 1963 Pioneer.

Can I borrow your red crayon?” Under the capable leadership of president Carolyn Dewsnap, vice-president Mary Steele, and secretary Sharon Spousta, the Library Club added another year of service to its record. A sincere interest in books and a love for reading are two of the basic require¬ ments for membership in this club. The duties of a student librarian in helping to operate the library are many and varied. As well as shelving, caring for and repairing books and magazines, members work at the desk and periodically create a display. Addi¬ tional duties are assigned by Mrs. MacDonald, the school librarian. The enthusiasm and reliability of this year’s club members have aided the functioning of the R.M.H.S. library.

The members of the club discuss varied controversial subjects. The debaters have a chance to express their own opinions and to agree or disagree with other students. Each member of the Debating Group has the opportunity to develop a logical pattern of thought and the ability to express himself clearly. Future Teachers of America As an introduction to the teaching profes¬ sion, interested students were provided with the opportunity to explore the various methods and problems of teaching.

The other mem¬ bers comprise the stage crew. This group plays a major role in the behind the scene production of assemblies. Lighting. and sound effects are their specialties. During the ’62-’63 season, president Charlie Cacciola presided at weekly meetings, assisted by vice-president Bob Ma¬ loney. Secretary Bob Hopkins was in charge of scheduling films and assemblies.

Student Secretaries Debbie Brown practices her shorthand speed In addition to taking a regular commer¬ cial ' course, many senior girls have the oppor¬ tunity to use their acquired skills in actual sec¬ retarial work. Each student secretary is as¬ signed to a teacher by Miss Reed, head of the commercial department. Typical duties per¬ formed for these teachers include typing letters and exams, mimeographing, and taking dicta¬ tion. To qualify for this important job, a girl must be proficient in spelling and grammar, and she must have adequate knowledge of typ¬ ing and shorthand.

This year’s selection was a melo-dramatic story which gave a humorous rendition of the Wild and Woolly West.” A wide range of people were involved in the com¬ plicated romantic mystery. There was the eastern belle, Althea Quinn, upholding the legend of eastern blue- bloods. The old adage good things come in small packages” was definitely true in the case of our heroine, Rosemary Lane. Effingham Leffingwell presented an outstanding display of evil corruption and cunning, while our hero, Gladwyn Throckmorton remained courageous and strong during the trying days at the Bar None Ranch. A true western is not complete with¬ out its law enforcement, and Ruckus County was no exception. Eagle Annie, the only female sheriff in the west added a touch of western flavor to the pro¬ duction. There were numerous other valuable par¬ ticipants which made the unravelling of the story possible. The entire cast, as well as the school, greatly ap¬ preciated Mr. Spencer and his student directors Berjouhi Arzigian and Patricia McPhee for their untiring efforts to make the play the success it was. • j niane Anne, Ju Y’ ND ROW;.

From January to August last year, Johannesburg, Re¬ public of South Africa, was my home town. Sponsored by the American Field Service, I lived with a typical family, the Bozzolis, and attended a large girl’s public high school with my sixteen-year-old sister Belinda. In just a few days I felt a part of this new way of life—wearing a school uniform, having tea time”, attending cricket and rugby matches, and swimming in our back yard pool. In a few weeks I became aware of the less superficial parts of South African life—the immense politi¬ cal turmoil, the racial trouble, the struggles of a country newly independent. I had the opportunity of touring most of the country—sea side, farmlands, jungle, desert, native villages, game reserve. I met a cross section of the population—English, Afrikaaner, Bantu, Indian, Asiatic—and watched these people attempt to find a way to live in peace together. By the end of my few months’ stay, I had learned to live with these people, understand their feelings, appreciate their accomplishments. I had come to love this way of life with its pleasures and problems. My stay seems so far away and unreal now, but the many things I learned will be with me always. I would like to thank all those who, in any way, made my stay both possible and rewarding. TtctAu fag Okr ' Kathy’s glad to be back in RMHS. Kathy’s class in South Africa.

However, when last June I was told that my home for a year was to be Reading, Massachusetts, I had no idea of what was really in store for me. But there is more to a year spent in a land 11,000 miles from home than the superficial differences, whether Christ¬ mas is spent sailing and swimming beneath the Australian sun, or sliding down the snowy New England slopes. What has been of greater importance to me is the friendship with which you welcomed me into your school, and shared with me all the exciting experiences of being a student of a high school in the United States.

We stepped into our parts and settled down to an entirely different school life. As members of one cast we worked hard and pro¬ duced tangible results, many students finding their names on the honor roll. Our freshman officers, Presi¬ dent, Geoff Bell; Vice-President, James Rooney; Treas¬ urer, Richard Cootey and Secretary, Cheryl Daggett, along with members of the different committees, guided us through our first dance, October 23, 1959. Our principals, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Bennent, directed us to a better understanding of the duties expected of us. After a new and some what terrifying experience with midyears and finals, we took a much-needed rest from our roles. As the curtain parted for the second Act, we found ourselves no longer in the roles of newcomers, assuming a more important position than our previous year. We were introduced to our new principals, Mr. Ara A. Karakashian and Mr. Ernest G. Spence. We were proud when a number of our girls were chosen for the Baton squad, and several of our boys exhibited their talents on the athletic fields. Again we chose our class of¬ ficers: Geoff Bell, President; James Rooney, Vice- President; Richard Cootey, Treasurer; and Secretary, Martha Carlson. Despite our outside activities, we did not neglect our scholastic endeavors, again placing many names on the honor rolls. Our second dance, Evening in Paris,” held on November 18, I960, proved our ingenuity and willingness to work. We left our sophomore year feeling we had achieved a great deal. Soon after we entered school as Juniors, we chose our class officers. The following were elected to these positions: Geoff Bell, President; Barbara Poock, Vice- President; Richard Cootey, Treasurer; and Ann Rogers Secretary. Our junior year saw many new horizons un¬ fold before us. Seventeen members of our class were chosen for the National Honor Society. In January we were able to send Kathy Paynter to South Africa as our foreign exchange student. Our two social successes, the Junior Prom and the Junior-Senior Reception, brought to a close a fruitful and gratifying Junior year. With the end of this year, we saw one of our guidance directors, Miss Nichols, retire. Although we anticipated our Senior year, we realized we would deeply miss her. orf esC: icersle: e oextenlgp As we moved into the fourth and final Act in our High School education, we assumed the lead roles. We welcomed to our cast Rosie” Byerley, our popular foreign exchange student from Australia. With new and more exciting schedules, we had to plan our time carefully to include all our Senior activities. Our Senior play, The Wild and Wooly West,” proved to be a huge success, and we were on our way to a rewarding Senior year. Our Senior officers were: Geoff Bell, President; Ann Rogers, Vice-President; Richard Cootey, Treasurer; and Lee Gissler, Secretary. The pressures of college admissions and future plans did not hamper our school spirit. The newly formed Pep Squad was on hand at all football games, and one of its livlier members, Carolyn Erhardt, was chosen Football Queen. By the time we had suffered through mid-years, we realized we had little time left in our high school roles. The Junior-Senior Reception and the Senior Prom were our last memorable social events. Class Day, Bac¬ calaureate, and Graduation terminated our roles as Seniors. As the curtain falls on our high school careers, we have mixed emotions. Four years were spent in Read¬ ing High—four memorable years. Our failures and triumphs have taught us many invaluable lessons we should never forget. We must look ahead, however, to our future roles in the adult world appreciative of the training we have received. 88 Sandi and the boys discuss the races.
