Miss Percy fulfilled the highest motive of an educator—to transmit wisdom. Miss Percy’s retirement represents an academic and personal loss to Reading High; her warm smile and helpful attitude have been wel¬ come to students and teachers alike. Gratefulness will be truly seen in college, when Miss Percy’s students will breeze through freshman math and recognize her as the best teacher I ever had.” The class of 1968 is proud to dedicate its yearbook to one who has been so dedicated.

With the celebrated Tom Swain as captain, seniors Bill (Homa) Thornton, Paul Carroll and Keith White had a fine year and an unexpectedly fine performance was given by the team’s newcomer, Pete Syer. Doug Richter and John Hazelwood were steady contributors to the team’s success. Although its performance in the states was hindered by injuries, the team was undefeated at home meets and under the leadership of Coach Garland they had one of their strongest seasons. We leave the runners to 68-69 captains Bob Faulkner and Bill Darby. ROW 1: Robert White, Gardner Gray, Donald Barnes, Ed Davis, Steve Robinson, Jon Svenson, Bob Zwicker, Michael Tocco.

Basketball Although our team was underrated from the be¬ ginning, they surprised everyone by sweeping through the season with a great record of 16 wins to 4 losses. The spirit and agility of the players again brought them to the state championships this year. Under the guidance of Coach MacGregor, Captain George Wat¬ kins has led the team gloriously to victory and the seniors leave the team with a reputation that will be hard to forget; remember the Lexington games? 68-69 Captain Rob Yeo ROW 1: John Kilcy, Rick Englund, John Doherty, Jim Kiley (Captain), George Dalton, Mike Camarota.

This year’s hockey team with Jim Kiley as captain had an outstanding record of 7 wins, 3 losses, and 4 ties. The skill of the players led the team to a game in the State Championships, an unforgettable experience for Reading. |r, .

This year our indoor track team should be proud of their strong individual per¬ formances. Looking back, the team has lost two of its games to Wakefield and Melrose, the two most difficult teams in the league to beat, but they continued their efforts to end the season with a close record of three wins and four losses. Steady outstanding per¬ formances were given by seniors Dick Burke, Paul Carroll, Bill Thornton, Robert Nelson and Capt. Tom Swain. Also the contributions of Fred Russell, Peter Stultz, Doug Richter, John Zemlin, Jim Cronin, and Ken Gray were a great asset to the team. The ability of Capt. Swain won for him again this year two more records—the mile, which was later broken at Stoneham, and the two mile, which he presently holds.

In spite of the fact that the average height of the players was 5 ' 2 , they held their heads up high when they rallied with their arch-rival Swampscott for a three point loss. It’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game. The title of captains for ’68- ’69 goes to two who deserve it— Gay Benshimol and Jan Pendergast.

With this philosophy the gym¬ nastics club hopes to promote the assets of a sound body and good co¬ ordination and balance. The club also wishes to extend its sincere invita¬ tion to those who wish to become mem¬ bers . The gymnastics club has held elections for president, vice presi¬ dent, treasurer, and secretaries (recording and corresponding). The results are as follows: President- Pete Syer COACH WHITE TO HEAD INSPIRED WRESTLING TEAM This years wrestling team will have a new coach, who will take the reins of power from Coach LaHood. Mr. LaHood had moved from RMHS to Parler Junior High and has been re¬ placed by Coach White. John Freitas, this year ' s captain, feels that the matches against North Andover, Ip¬ swich, and Wakefield will probably be the toughedt, but John says that all the matches will be tough. Last year ' s record of four wins, four loses and one tie can be improved and certainly an effort to improve these will be made. The enthusiasm expressed by Coach White and Captain John Freitas certainly illustrate this effort. Coach White ' s main ob¬ jective with the wrestling team can be found in his recent comment, in which he said, We ' ll work hard and put ourselves in excellent condition with the aspration of obtaining reward¬ ing results. This gives us an in¬ sight to the coming season, where wrestling matches will certainly be something to look foward to.

Now, after having come back to Reading, to my American school and family, I often wonder if it ever really happened at all. A year ago, after the shock of being told that I was going to spend twelve months in Africa wore off, I suddenly found myself part of a new family, school and community. For¬ tunately for the first few months everything was so strange and fascinating that I didn’t have the chance to notice that every pair of eyes in my village was constantly staring at that peculiar American girl.” Being the first American ex¬ change student in that part of South Africa, I suppose that I was just as strange to the people there as they were to me. You cannot believe how happy I am to have had the chance to spend a year here in America as an A.F.S. student. It was a big change to come from my small country to this country which is many times larger. I shall never forget my first school day at Reading High. I know I never would have been to find my classroom without help. Even with help it took some time to learn to open my locker. At school in Iceland, we do not have lockers, but carry our books each day in a briefcase. I understood that in America as in Iceland, football is one of the biggest sports. So I was all excited thinking I knew something about football at the start of the season. However, Eventually, however, by living as a South African and sharing everything from schoolwork with my friends to Christmas with my family, I realized how much my new home meant to me. Looking back now on that strange dream I know that something exists outside my own small world, and that has also made me realize that people can live together peacefully regardless of their language, color, or creed. I know now how fortunate I was to be chosen to represent RMHS and I hope I’ve been able to convey some of the excitement of my year abroad to my classmates. I hope that I never lose the spirit of AFS. Gretchen Kramer AFS ’67-’68 I was surprised to see how the boys dressed and that I never could see the ball. I learned that what we call football is known as Soccer here. The thing that I enjoyed one of the most, was to be a member in the operetta Finian’s Rainbow”. And also work¬ ing in the drama club. The worst part about this year is when the time comes and you have to say goodbye to your family” and all your friends, that you have made during the year. Sigridur Gudnadottir 108 - Reykjavik, Iceland Philippines It is very difficult for me to adequately write about my AFS experience because it means more to me than these few paragraphs can express. For three months of my life I was a Philippino! The summer of 1967 brought me to a new world where our pine trees became coconut palms and our tobacco plantations, rice fields. This summer was an education in itself. I learned a different way of life— how the other half lives.” But, besides learning about others, I came home with a better under¬ standing of myself and how lucky I was to be an American. This summer was one of first times”—first ride on a plane, horse, and jeepney; first time to eat raw fish and bird’s nest soup; first time to sleep under a mosquito net while lizards crawled about on the ceiling; first time to thresh rice; and first visit to a cock fight and Buddhist Temple. These first times” and many others helped me to learn about, live with, and love the hard-working Filipino people who will soon transform their young democracy into a prosperous nation. Above all, this summer gave me the opportunity to live the AFS motto: Walk to¬ gether, talk together, O ye peoples of the earth: then and only then shall ye have peace.” Joanne Sullivan AFS ’67 110 Reading Chronicle 111 Class History On a sunny fall day in 1965 our class entered R.M.H.S. quite unaware of the experi¬ ences that awaited us. Always eager for excitement we were ready to contribute whatever ability and enthusiasm we had to the school activities. After successful campaigning Wes Snook was elected Sophomore Class President with Karen N. Nicholaides as V.P., Karen Whitney as Secretary, and Keith Ellis as Treasurer. Our major endeavor that year was the Sophomore Hop where we all followed the yellow brick road to The Wizard of Oz”. We began our junior year under the able leadership of the class officers with a newly elected Vice-President, Jim Walsh. We held up under the pressures of college boards and term papers, even though this first taste of high school hardship was bitter. The big social event that year was the junior prom, December’s Dream”. In spite of the fog, a good time was had by all. As seniors, 1968 was our year to shine. A new administration took office as Tom Swain was elected President, Jim Walsh V.P., Tina Kiely Secretary, and Keith Ellis Treasurer. Ours was certainly a class of athletes. Tom Swain, the celebrated track star, broke innumerable records over three years. With John Freitas and George Watkins as co-captains, our boys led the football team to its third consecutive year as Middlesex League Champions. Last winter was full of the cries of victory (remember Melrose, Lexington, and Stoneham?) as our basketball team, with George Watkins (captain), once more made its way to the Tech Tourney. Tom Aucella led the baseball team as captain. As you can see, in sports we gave nothing but the best, as a result we had All- Star members on all three teams. No one can deny that the class of ’68 was unique and so were its accomplishments. For the first time in the history of the school we undertook a Peace Corps program for the building of schoolhouses in indigent areas. Our hockey team made it to the state finals for the first time. The Lunch Patrolers took an oath to conquer confusion in the cafeteria and got badges signifying their cause. The basketball team lost the Middlesex League Championship to Stoneham, but beat them in the Tech. But we didn’t brag. Mirrors were even hung in the halls to encourage us to overcome our modesty. After all the senior events—Field Day, Senior-Banquet, Talent Night, Class Day, and Baccalaureate—the long sought day finally arrived, but it was filled with sentimentality. On looking back we realized that we were all a little bit wiser for all our wear and tear. Always considered the underdog by others, the Class of 1968 leaves R.M.H.S. on top, ready to tackle the world. To all we say adieu.” OFFICERS Seated: Tina Kiely, Secretary, Tom Swain, President.
