Zimmerman DEDICATION An educator must be more than a teacher; he must be a person desirous of extending all personal resources for the purpose of imparting wisdom and knowledge. Wisdom is an acquired ability to judge soundly and to deal sagaciously with existing facts. This quality is most important in an educator, for it is the determining factor in his success in forming the minds and characters of students so that they may be assets to their home, their community, and the world. Such an educator is Miss Helen Zimmermann. The value and ex¬ tent of her work cannot be estimated. The teaching of biology, anatomy, and other sciences has been her career. She has influenced many students in their choices of scientific careers. An educator can be given no greater compliment. Miss Zimmermann’s intrinsic qualities of sincerity and humor merit a prominent place in her students’ memories. We are grateful to Miss Zimmermann for sharing her special tal¬ ents with the students of Reading Memorial High School. In dedicating this yearbook to Miss Zimmermann, we, the Class of 1965, wish to show our appreciation for her invaluable services. Thank you, Miss Zimmermann. he can never tel! where his influence Henry Adams Administration and Faculty r : . ■■ ' .

This season is not necessarily determined by one’s chronological age but is, rather, that span of time during which one’s society permits him to de¬ vote his full attention and energy to self-improvement through formal education. Some prolong this season by matriculating at institutions of higher learning. Others cur¬ tail it by assuming adult roles and responsibilities upon graduation. In either case, I hope that each member of the graduating class can look back upon his three years at Read¬ ing Memorial High School as a pleasant and rewarding season. —Ara A. Karakashlan Principal The 1965 Pioneer’s theme from Ecclesiastes 3: 1-9 presents a challenge to man from the past. Man’s view of himself and his relationship to the world and his God has changed in the 2,200 years since Ecclesiastes was written. Many scholars feel that all is not predestined. Man’s works need not be futile, for man has a will by which he can in great measure influence his future. This he has learned to do as he has gained knowledge of himself and of nature, and has better understood his relationship to God. Learning is man’s key to the gains he may reap from his toils. Your education does not stop, then, at any given age or period of time, for the world is ever changing and you must continue to learn to insure that your decisions and actions will always have meaning and purpose. —Ernest G. Spence The guidance department of Reading High has accom¬ plished, during the past three years, the rather difficult task of providing counsel and advice to the members of the class of 1965. The range of functions which this department serves, however, merits acknowledgment from the student body, as it is they who have been directly affected by its efforts. The guidance department serves as an instrument of counsel and guidance to aspiring college students and to those students who have chosen to work upon graduation from high school. For the aspiring college students there have been many interesting and informative college confer¬ ences made possible through the affiliated efforts of the guid¬ ance department and the individual colleges. As further aid to students, a rather complete selection of guidance informa¬ tion is maintained by this department in the guidance office. The department is responsible for administering numerous tests, among which are the College Boards and the Achieve¬ ment Tests. The guidance department has also served the student body in more subtle ways, perhaps less obvious to the unscrutinizing eye, but worthy of our praise. These have included constructive advice and support of the Student Council and the Class Meetings, and a vital part in the filing of college applications by the students. To this department the students owe a debt of gratitude in recognition of the assistance and counsel which the guidance department has rendered to us, the class of 1965. 11 CUSTODIANS Elmer E.

The largest change has come in the membership. No longer can the Pioneer salute the boys for a well done and, at times, thankless job. We must now thank the girls as well. Under the able direction of Mr. Young, these students keep all the visual aid equipment circu¬ lating throughout the school. The officers and several other members may be found in the building long be¬ fore they must be there, ready to take care of teachers’ requests. Truly their contribution to the school has helped to provide an interesting stage for learning. FRONT: Sue Nagel, Greg Karakashian, Dave Hollowell, Dick Desmond, Carol Beaton.

STAGE CREW The boys on the Stage Crew are chosen from the members of the Projection Crew. They are entrusted with the safe operation of all equipment backstage. Their duties usually are limited to setting the stage for assemblies and lectures, but several times a year events such as the Senior Play come up. It is at times like this that our Stage Crew shows its worth. They work with the director of the production for several weeks before the performance. Without their work, many of the special effects produced in The Ghost Train would have been impossible. 30 FRONT: Steve Bosback, Charles Parry, Carol Beaton, Greg Karakashian, Lee Clancy. BACK: Dick Desmond, David Hollowed, Paul McKinley, David Walker, Frank Wandry. RADIO CLUB Although the schedule this year permitted little time for organized meetings, the Radio Club members are trying to stimulate an in¬ terest in the school for this activity to such an extent that students will obtain their amateur radio licenses and thus be enabled to make use of the equipment on hand. This includes two transmitters, two receivers, two antennas, and a code practice oscillator. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club, under the direction of Mrs. MacDonald, capably takes care of our li¬ brary. Their various jobs include working be¬ hind the desk during free periods, stamping books, taking care of new books and the maga¬ zines, and keeping the library room orderly. They usually have a meeting once a month. Their officers are as follows: Susan Conroy, President; Carol Beaton, Vice-President; Paul¬ ette Tod sen, Secretary.

TICKET SELLERS S ' The Ticket Sellers are a group of girls whoiO ' donate their time during the school’s football it and basketball season to sell and collect tickets at all home games. These girls are another unpub- t licized but necessary group at Reading Memorial c High School. PROGRAM GIRLS The Program Girls are responsible for sell¬ ing programs for the Booster’s Club at the foot¬ ball games in the fall. The proceeds from the sale of these programs are used to buy the awards such as letters, sweaters, and blazers, for the ath¬ letic awards assemblies. FRONT: Ann Rappaport, Linda Nelson, Joan Foy.

Some of their various jobs include sorting mail, typing, duplicating papers for teachers and the whole office staff, running errands, and sometimes running the IBM ma¬ chines. These workers have been very helpful this year and have done the various little jobs that get us through our school day.

STUDENT SECRETARIES The Student Secretaries are secretarial prac¬ tice girls who are assigned by Miss Reed to dif¬ ferent teachers to do special jobs for them. They type tests and other materials, sometimes take dictation, order films, and three girls work for the guidance department. These girls must have a good knowledge of spelling and grammer and work very hard at their jobs. 33 FRONT: Shirley Holden, Frani Ravanesi, Susan Budka, Jane Gray.

Its purpose is to act as an all-school representative co¬ ordinating body to promote the best interests of the student body and the school.” The Council works closely with the administra¬ tion on issues concerning the students of RMHS and also makes suggestions and criticisms to better the school’s operation. This year the Council was efficiently run by President Jay Jellison. It is important to be heard in student governing bodies, and by giving students the opportunity of using their freedom of speech, the Student Council has successfully promoted a democratic spirit in our school. 1 RONT: Kim Chase, Diane Johnson, Paula Boyd, Elizabeth Rogers, Jay Jellison, Michael Barrett, Pauline Chin, Lucille Ward, Carol Haley.

You can’t imagine what a strange feeling I had the day I went ashore from M S Seven Seas’’ in New York. I was wondering about and a little nervous what the com¬ ing year would bring, what the family that I was going to stay with was like, and I was worried about the school I was going to attend. If I then knew what I know today, I wouldn’t have been nervous. Everything turned out so well, and I can for sure say that so far this year has been the most wonderful in my life; a year I’ll never forget. A whole year usually seems like a long time, but this year has passed by too fast. I have enjoyed so much attending Reading High, and I am thankful and impressed over how warm you kids welcomed me. I have got so many good friends during this year, and this is the purpose of the AFS organi¬ zation. The best way to work for peace in the world is to learn people of different nations to know; to make friends with them, because nobody wants to spoil a friend’s home by war. FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT I have learned a lot from you, and I’ll bring home with me many of the American customs. The biggest difference in your way of living and the Norwegian way of living I have noticed, seems to be that you so very seldom can take time to sit down and relax, you are always in a hurry. I guess most of you hadn’t heard too much about Norway before I came, but I do hope some of you have learned a little about my country during this year. I love my country so much, though the United States now has become my second home-country. I will miss this place so much when I go home and I know some day I’ll be back here again. I am very thankful to all of them who made this year as an AFS-student in the United States possible for me. I hope AFS always will remain the same successful organization as it is and that many more kids will get the opportunity to have this wonderful experience I have had. 35 HI-LITES The various staffs of Hi-Lites this year have been hard¬ working and successful in putting out a worthwhile and informative paper. Together with Karen Butler as editor- in-chief and Mr. Hodgkins as faculty advisor, the editors of our school newspaper have worked to develop ideas and to correlate material for their staffs. On the staffs are the reporters, whose job it was to interview and find out information about their assigned articles. Other staffs cor¬ rected the copy and pasted up the dummy copy” to ready the paper for the presses. All the students on Hi-Lites worked together harmoniously so that Hi-Lites could make its valuable contribution to the school. FRONT: Barbara Eddy, Che rrie Dubois, Karen Butler, Sandra Ball.

Under the direction of leaders Paula Boyd and Sally Chandler, the Pep Squad proved itself a valuable asset to school spirit. Members of the squad at¬ tended all of the football games, and supported the football team by lending their voices and spirit. Always dressed in red and black, the members cheered the RMHS football team to victory. PIONEER EDITORS Sandra Ball, Carol Sellars, Cheryl Dubois, Jane Chaney, Linda Mehringer, Barbara Eddy, Jane Murphy, David Walker, Robert McKinnon, Cynthia Palmunen. Editor-in-Chief David Walker and Co-ordinator Robert McKinnon, advised by Mr. Bond, organized the efforts of those who made their contribu¬ tions, however large or small, to the success of the yearbook. The editors spent many out-of-school hours correlating the material offered by their staff members. It is hoped that when the read ers of the Pioneer have acquainted themselves with the ideas introduced to them by both literary and artistic means, they will go beyond the evident in their thought. In this sense, the success of the yearbook depends upon you, the reader.

CHEERLEADERS This year the pepp y RMHS Cheerleading Squad was led by Francis Rav- enesi. These girls added much enthusiastic zest to football, basketball, and hockey games. Besides organizing our school rallies, the girls also conducted the election of the football queen. Much time was spent practicing in order to be good representatives of Reading both during and after athletic games.

BAND The Reading High Band has been a valuable asset to our school in the past. This year’s band, under the direction of Mr. James Roth, was no exception. The band participated in many varied activities including: the annual spring Rotary Concert, a program presented at Coolidge Junior High, the Santa Claus parade, the Memorial Day parade, and provided entertainment for the half-time shows of the football season, as well as encouraging school spirit at the rallies. BATON SQUAD Adding to the enthusiasm of last fall’s football triumphs, the Baton Squad performed in all types of weather. Led by Chuckie McEnroe and Diane Radul- ski, this year’s squad entertained at half-time and at rallies with twirling and marching routines. The baton girls also planned their traditional dance and held a pot-luck supper. These girls have contributed much to the school spirit and the support of our team. 43 s xasanaHri With each succeeding class, there are, of course, a great variety of talents. There are people whose only goal is an academic one. Their achievements are the Honor Roll and the National Honor Society. For peo¬ ple with interests in the field of music, there are the Band and the Glee Club. The scientifically-minded people join the Science Club or the Projection Crew. But for the aspiring actor or actress there is the Senior Play. The first step in this production was to read the play, and decide which part was most appealing. For all who read parts, the afternoons of tryouts were ex¬ citing ones. After the cast and the crew were chosen, the rehearsals continued every afternoon. These re¬ hearsals required a great deal of effort on the part of directors, stage managers, committees, and the techni¬ cal crew, as well as the actors. The value of the play lies in the sense of achievements and unity it gave to its participants. Furthermore, the accomplishment of the entire senior class, representing them as a body. This year’s production was The Ghost Train, a three-act play by Arnold Ridley. It was a combination of mystery, comedy, and romance, intriguing all its spectators. The play concerns a group of people who were stranded in a haunted” railway station for a night. By the time the play was over, there were lover’s quarrels, an investigation by an inspector from Scotland Yard, and a little old lady who broke her rules of strict teetotaling” for the sake of her health. The Senior Play, as usual, left a mark on the lives of each person who took part in it. It is one of the more serious traditions in our school; one which re¬ quires sincere interest and support. This year it was a truly memorable event that lent itself to unify the class for its additional senior responsibilities. 44 SENIOR PLAY FRIDAY NIGHT PROGRAMS: Martha McSheehy, Ann Rappaport, Florence Zwicker, Jane Briggs, Cynthia Mitchell, Joan Ebbeson.

The reuniting of the class of 1965 which had been divided since March, 1961, resulted in the election of John Gall as president, Michael Gaza¬ rian vice-president, Wendy Whittemore secretary, and Irwin Patterson treasurer. In November our class held its Sophomore Hop, Fascination.” This appropriate theme summed up the feelings of the entire class towards its new high school environment. With the coming of our junior year, the feeling of fascination disappeared. For perhaps the first time in our lives we were forced to look at the future, not as a series of tomorrows which can be lived through, but as a life, a career, which must be lived. Led by John Gall, again president, Wendy Whittemore, again secretary, Irwin Patterson, again treasurer, and Lucille Ward, our new vice- president, the class had to make some important decisions, each of which required careful consideration on the part of the individual student. To go to college or not to go to college, that was the question. Those who decided in the affirmative had to face many more questions such as were found in the College Boards and the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Tests. A good percentage of our class found the correct answers to those questions, for two students qualified as Na¬ tional Merit Semifinalists and a number were awarded Letters of Commendation. In addition, twenty-three of our classmates were inducted into the National Honor Society. The Junior Prom, the theme of which was The Rose Room,” was held in March, and we hosted the Junior-Senior Reception in May. The last official function of our class in its junior year was the accepting of the leadership of the school, symbolized by the passing of the torch” from the hand s of the graduating senior class president to the capable hands of our own newly elected president, Phil Chesley. To assist our new president in leading us through the third and final year at RMHS, we elected Lucille Ward vice-president, Paula Boyd, secretary, and Irwin Patterson treasurer. As seniors we accepted added responsibilities, for we were now, in fact as well as theory, the leaders of our school, the captains of our teams, and the heads of school organizations. We also had the responsibility of giving May-Britt Hagg, the exchange student from Norway, the best possible impres¬ sion of the United States. The major activity of the fall was our Senior Play, The Ghost Train.” With the winter and spring of our senior year came the results of twelve long years of schooling — the realization of our hopes or fears concern¬ ing our aspirations for the future. In May we were the honored guests of the junior class at the Junior-Senior Reception, which was followed in June by Baccalaureate Service, the Senior Ban¬ quet, Class Day, the Senior Prom, and the climax of three long, hard, but happy years, Graduation. $ § § § § § § § § PATRONS Mr. James P.
