REING an in 1t 9 P Q xt gl'6l6!ll.af85 O ' THIS IS A Red-letter day for you-one of the happiest days of your lives. Assembled here, the joy that you radiate is magnetic. Like the lode- stone it attracts and communicates itself to everyone present. Sharing this joy it is a great pleasure to address you. Your class motto ORDER REIGNS IN THE UNIVERSE, suggests a theme. It is, indeed, true that order reigns in the material world for all NATURE is OBEDIENT to LAW. This truth, as you know, forms the basis of all physical science. In the moral world, however, what confusion! We are living in a be- wildered world just because MEN DO NOT OBEY THE LAW OF GOD. The Holy Father ascribes the world's widespread disorder to the denial and rejection of a universal norm of morality . . . and the for- getfulness of the natural law itself which has its foundation in God. We can readily see that when men sever themselves from this universal stand- ard, justice is placed at the mercy of the changing will. Inevitably, confusion must follow. Priceless, then, is the boon of the training you received within these Walls for it has been levened with CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES. Many schools and colleges have adopted a pagan philosophy and have advocated a jungle morality. This spirit, too, has pervaded most of our secular press and literature. Youth ex- posed to this ultra-modern trend could scarcely escape infection. Indeed, that it has not done so was evidenced at a recent Youth Congress when flagrant disrespect for LAWFUL authority received a sharp rebuke from our Chief Executive. It is now generally admitted that what the entire world needs today is the restoration of the SPIRIT OF CHRIST. This SPIRIT has been the touchstone of your Alma Mater's discipline. Never let the discipline you learned here depart from you. Be true to your ideals. Remember what Sacred Scripture says If YOU know these things you will be blessed if you do them : and again Be ye DOERS of the word and not HEARERS only. As then, you read your motto ORDER REIGNS IN THE UNIVERSE remember that it will reign in us only as we, like MATERIAL NATURE, are OBEDIENT to the GOD of CREATION. The Holy Spirit tells us that virtue alone can produce PEACE and peace, in turn, maintains virtue. The work of justice shall be in peace Us. xxxu, 171 , and The fruit of justice is sown in peace Uames III, 182 . Let, then, the light of your Christian life be unto edifi- cation and I am sure you will achieve the success that I Wish you. -REVEREND MICHAEL V. REING - '-S: 'tool QTE- n these pages you will find a record of our school days. Qur purpose in releasing the 1940 Petrel is the usual one- that of preserving for us-the high ideals and the memories We cherish, above all, of our four years in High School. If We mirror in our future lives the noble philosophy of our fostering mother, our deeds will shed a greater lustre on our Alma Mater, Whose great spirit we wish to emulate. urely, the opportunity to spend twelve years in an at- mosphere of learning, with the incomparable gift of our holy faith is a privilege of great Worth. In a deep spirit of gratitude, We lovingly dedi- cate this edition ofthe Petrel- to our Beloved Parents--who have made possible for us this realization of our dreams. The future must see in us that sincere gratitude which is measured by the nature of our actions. 0 ' '1 ' U0 J J enior Cfaaa Ofkcer-4 Sponxor Q4Cj . MOTHER MARY EVANGELINE Sponsor Q4Gj .

PETER Playful, z'arz'frz'1', Sdllgllillfg, ' john's personality extends far beyond our own class as jack is the knight chivalrous. Writing poetry and music have formed two indoor hobbies. Typewriting and French have crowned him with laurels. If you visit the golf links you'll know the reason for the freckles which match his irresistible, Hery hair, which by the way has always followed a style, so elusive, as to puzzle the most exacting barber. His genial nature makes him Ll happy-go-lucky companion. So long, john. WILLIAM EUGENE HAMMES GENERAL ST. JOSEPH Afblr'fiv, amlzilious, Fdlltlillv ' Bill,' is the mathematician of the class, and the .wizard of the slide rule. St. Benedict's sent us Bill +,'ir'f his third year, and we think a valuable addition was added to the sixty-eight. He is admired for his straight from the shoulder opinions in which head work is dis- played. A star football player and an ardent basket- ball fan are two achievements of this up and coming engineer, who will probably matriculate at Villanova next September. We wish our friend success, even if he won't pose for the photographer. EDWARD GEORGE HEISLER J 4 ' I R ly s 1 f - V bv Ln' LL . 1 P' f A': TALILAA I I 4, . 4 I , , , ' .

He is one of the most studious of the boys and never fails to come through with good marks. Al- -though he is very quiet in his manner, he enjoys the fun when the time and place permit it. He will be well remembered for his interesting translations of Malot's .immortal Sans Familleu, as well as the thrilling ro- mance of Captain Jean Renaud and the sweet Bettina. Here's boosting Pottstown's contribution! Life's best for Edward! CHARLES JOSEPH HOFMANN GENERAL SACRED HEART Active, dependable, musical ' Need we introduce the business man of the class? He is jolly and boisterous and the most active member of the class in business concerns. His technique brings everything to a grand climax. He will probably be a successful business man some day and we all wish him the best of luck. With his musical genius for drums, the future need hold no fears for our Chevalier Charles, a knight, sans peur et sans reproche . His genial disposition is an asset, and it has been a boon to us. BERNARD JOSEPH HUCK COMMERCIAL ST. PETER Cheerful, generous, willingu ' A cheerful disposition, a sunny smile and a ride in his jitterbug Ford is right down Hucky's alley. He is one of the best commercial students, and one of the most popular boys in the class of 1940. A more cour- teous boy you couldn't meet. A pleasant hello, when- ever you meet him no matter where it may be, is char- acteristic of Bernie. His quiet manner is impressive, solemn and quietly humorous. Whatever Bernard se- lects for his future work, we know that his career will be crowned with success. WILLIAM FRANCIS KLEINE, JR. GENERAL sT. JOSEPH Virile, sincere, versatile ' Bill might be called the typical American boy of high school age, as he is quite proficient in athletics and scholastic subjects. Bill is always ready to lend a pal a helping hand, especially if it's a fair feminine bit of loveliness. He is an excellent dresser and makes a clean-cut cameo appearance. We believe that Bill has a future ahead of him in the field of Journalism. Op- portunity stares at you, Bill , challenge it. You are ibound to succeed. Oui. Thirlvrn PETER ANTHONY LA FATA 1 ,Lf 1 .

Putting things together is in his line, too. Ever see our flying Clipper? The Esso station claims a big slice of P's life. You've met that efficient clerk? From nine until three on days required by State law, our hero may be seen hard at work in Room ten, where many a pipe dream floats out. Here's wishing you make your million, Pete ! WILLIAM PATRICK LAWLOR COMMERCIAL ST. JOSEPH HF1H1l0l.'fllg, lively, modest ' William's engaging personality is one of his big assets. This friendly chap is famous daily at three ILM., for it is his task to ring the dismissal bell which sends the happy pupils scurrying out of the class- rooms. William does very well in his commercial sub- jects and expects someday to be an accountant. What- ever the future holds for William we are sure that he will succeed. Ride your hobbies, William, for they will lead you down the trail of success. CHARLES JOSEPH LOEPER GENERAL ST. PAUL WiffJ', irifvlligenf, shy ' One of our tallest lads is Charles. Give him an extra period of Mathematics instead of a foreign language, and you will see happiness personified. From some of the strange noises that we have herftd, it would appear that Charles is electrically-minded, toog perhaps his inventive mind is bringing forth a new gadget to re- lieve the tension of the modern school day. We cannot predict Charles' future, but with his pleasant manner and varied ability, our friend will reach the goal of his ambitions. x41.,C, .

AS co-business manager for our News-paper Staff, he has made ends meet. In his spare moments he spends much time at wood craft, that is, when he is not working at printing. He follows sports up with great interest, especially baseball. With his persevering ef- forts, he will succeed. We are with you every step of the way, Bob . THOMAS ANTHONY MAHAN, JR. GEO GENERAL SACRED HEART Neat, competent, im,blivit', ' Shall we introduce Tom as Bergen's second or as a tobacco auctioneer? As the treasurer he has been an outstanding student for the past four years, combining business with pleasure. Tom has proved himself a great writer, both of poems and of fiction, his ambition, however, is forestry. This versatile young man has starred as a school-columnist in the Clipper, the Chairman of an English Committee, a radio imperson- atorg and a charming man about town. Versatility plus, n'est-ce pas? RGE FRANCIS MASLAR COMMERCIAL sr. CYRIL Diplomatic, perseuering, studiousv ' Here is the president of our class. Not only for his initiative is George held in high esteem but for his scholastic accomplishments as well. His favorite sub- jects are Typewriting, Bookkeeping and Stenography.

A college course is in the offing for this generous General, and we expect big things of Bill, who has specialized in the field of science. We hope to hear of this young man's matriculating at Carroll University. Nothing is too good for William, and M we're counting on you. DONALD LOUIS MILLER CUMMERCIAL sT.

I-Ie has been a versatile guard on our varsity basketball team for two years and an excellent commercial student. Don has no defi- nite plans for the future but his ambition and ability will carry him to the top in whatever field he chooses. Donald will be remembered for his clear-cut Steno- graphic outlines and his dramatic entrances into Room 7. There was too often a vacant chair, Don. No alarm clock? THOMAS JOSEPH POWERS COMMERCIAL sT. JOSEPH Carefree, jovial, sociablev ' Tall, handsome Tommy is known and liked by all. His dancing is the envy of his classmates. When he is not scintillating on the dance floor he can be found giving the best swing bands an audition. Tom expects to find employment in an ofhce where his excellent typing, shorthand and bookkeeping will help him im- mensely. Future years can only hold the best for this typical high school Senior, with his debonnaire ways. Best foot forward, Tommy . GEORGE DENNIS REDDY GENERAL ST. JOSEPH Silw1f, humorous, zuzfafhonzablen ' George is the silent man of the class. We are ready for an audition, though, when he is called on to give a dissertation, for then something worthwhile comes forth. George might well be emulated by some of the Sons of the Ancient Order of Rest , for he has a steady job after school hours, the experience of which will be beneficial to him in after life. The business world needs dependable, earnest men with the ability to succeed, and so we send our man forth to carve his career. JOHN HENRY REHR COMMERCIAL ST. JOSEPH frC0l1SiL16'Y!lf?, cheerful, courfc0us ' Monsieur Jean is the cheerful member of the class. He is an art designer and an ardent bookkeeper, taxing his mentor's power for advance work. John has made a valiant effort to complete his high school course, having struggled with ill health for the past few years. Only those who have suffered, properly understand the cares and woes of others. John,s understanding heart sympathizes with the sorrows of others, for anyone who appealed to him was comforted.

You can well imagine how thrilled we were when we were iirst called Seniors. Basketball season and such a season! It will be, no doubt, the greatest in the school history. In January the Journalism class published a noteworthy newspaper called The Clipper while in the Commercial class was accomplished a great deal with all the awards, pins and certiiicates received for Stenog- raphy and Typewriting. How the happy months flew! Before we knew it, it was time to make preparations for the completion of the Year Book. The spirit of energy and co-operation of the I94O,S will go down in history. We then looked forward to the selecting of the May Queen. NV e chose Dolores Gorney to crown Gur Blessed Lady in the May Procession. Eagerly we await this glorious May Day Celebration. Finally the day came that we had dreamed of,- Our Graduation Day. Words can never describe our feeling about June ninth. We now go out into the world to the different vocations we have chosen, but we are well able to take our places with the careful training we have received in the past four years. In retrospect, let us look back on the initial stage of our high school term from the vantage point i . . Seniors . . . Juniors . . . Sopho- mores . . . Freshmen .... Do we realize the transformation that has taken place since 193 6? The pictures tell the story. -ETHEL WUSTER, ,4O en eaffl l'0l'l'l 0bU ' ONE HOBBY that I like more than any other is the collecting of photographs. What memories are recalled by gazing at the pictures of my classmates. What has become of them with their foibles, fancies, and peculiarities? Do they re- member their desire as Seniors to travel through European countries as did the little Remi, whose nobility of soul awakened in us the desire to emulate his goodness? Madeleine and I are about to realize our dream of traveling, for we are getting ready to go to Europe, and the album will be one of our cherished pos- sessions on the trip. The weather is rather problematic at present, resembling an adolescent at that awkward age, when life is at variance with the universe. We must sail on THE GOOD WILL in three days. One of our prayers shall be directed to the gentle Saint Joseph for fair weather. It seems as if it was only yesterday that the sixty-eight of us were together . . . we, in the Commercial Department . . . twenty-seven in the General . . . Time jogs on, but Mem- ory preserves for us the forms that we love . . . and now I see before me, my beloved class of ,4O, each one making his ideals the beacon beckoning him on to things of like . . . Lundi, mardi, mercredi, and we go. I looked in my almanac to see if our departure would be blessed by fair weather, or darkened by petulant tears and dark frowns. But the day dawned in all its splendor. As we left home, we were escorted to the train by our secretary, Mary Rodolff, who was our constant companion for many years after we left school. When we arrived at the station, the ticket agent was none other than William Lawlor, who chatted with us several minutes before the arrival of the train. It was rather crowded, as usual for this station, but a place was found near a few old classmates, Lucy Cavalucci, Rose Brunetto, Mary Robosky and Dorothy Czartorynski. The day seemed perfect. We were so glad to see our friends. As the conductor approached and there appeared John Rehr, our astonishment was great. Very eager to hear of his doings, he told us he had been working for the Reading Railroad for over ive years. While we were talking, another friend and classmate came through the train selling papers and candy. It was Attillio Coco. The few hours passed quickly and before we realized it we were in New York. We were driven to the dock by a student of S.P.H.S. of u4O.,, We recog- nized him later to be one of our best students, Edward Heisler. How crowded this place is! It was soon time for us to leave for Europe. We sailed at twelve o'clock, noon. Among those aboard were Gertrude Bagley, Isabel Buckley and Dorothy Long. The evening soon came and a dance was to be held in the ball- room below deck. As we danced near the orchestra, we noticed William Kleine as its leader and our faithful Charles Hofmann behind the drums. Good old Cliff We knew there was something good in store for us. The next day we had a talk with our two friends. Charles and William had been working together Thirtv-six - Thirty-.vcucn for some time and had obtained this position on the ship between United States and England. ' Walking about the deck, we came across Regina Seidel and William Hammes, who were discussing their college experiences. During the afternoon of the same day, we played Bridge. The players were Florence Blekicka, Josephine Chelius and Margaret Essick. They were jubilant, and life was at its 'best for them. A chat and an afternoon tea brought us all together for a few hours. The captain of the ship had passed us and recognized us so he stopped to join in with the fun. This was our Robert Loeper. Taking us around the ship, he showed us many interesting things explaining them as we went along. Our first stop was at London. We were taken through the Capitol building by Charles Loeper, our loyal classmate. Among the prominent oHicers of the building were Peter LaFata, retaining his position as Chief of the Air Forces, and William McDevitt and Vincent Daly as his under-studies. Our tour ended with dinner at a cafe, The Manchester. The host who attended us was a school associate, Bernard Huck. As we were about to leave, we recognized at a nearby table a few friends of the class of 4o. Among the jovial group were Colette Kramer, Elizabeth Golden, Philip Calabria and Sylvester Witkowski. We then crossed the channel from England to France where we met Dolores Gorney and Ethel Wuster on the boat. They were taking a trip around the world and were having a wonderful time. Arriving at Paris, we inquired about the current events of the day, one being the Skating Olympics. We hurried with our bags to the hotel and dressing quickly, we rushed to the Olympic grounds. We arrived on the day on which two of our classmates were to give an exhibition of their skill and grace. These two young lassies were Rita Henry and Betty Delp. They were both trying for the Championship. After seeing many other skaters, Betty appeared. She did a graceful number, and received great applause. Rita came next and with much competition before her had the opportunity to show her skill. By her swing, grace and agility, she stole the show. Rita was brought out several times with the most enthusiastic applause. After a few days, we heard that Rita had won the Championship. We were glad to hear that and wished her all the luck in the world. Continuing our journey, we then Went to Switzerland to enjoy the winter sports of skiing and skating. Being exhausted, mentally and physically, we went to an Inn where we saw Charlotte Kleinert behind the desk. She told us that the slopes were just fine for skiing. Afterresting several hours we donned our outfits and started out. As we came to the top of the mountain, we were surprised to see Henry Schorn as the instructor for inexperienced skiers. Among the group under his care were Mary Keim, Eleanor Hanna, Marie Misenhelder and Connie Nolan. They listened with much attention to what he was saying and were eager to get to work. One of the girls in this group was so anxious to begin that she didn't wait for the instructions. About half way down the slope, she fell and landed in the snow. Hurrying down after her, we offered our assistance, and to our surprise we rushed Rita Noll to the hospital. The Doctor who examined her was an old classmate, Dr. Mary Patrick and her assistant nurse was Edith Rath- man. After several hours, knowing that she was out of danger, we left. She was in the care of efficiency plus. Our next stop was Italy. The first thing that we did was to get some money changed for foreign coins. Going to the nearest bank, we saw Claire Klein, as the Public Accountant, C.P.A. Here we happened to see Frances Flanagan behind a desk as stenog,' to the President of the bank, James Stahl. Among the Tellers of the bank was Bernard Duddy, an associate at school. While in Italy, We Visited Venice. We were again surprised to see that the ticket agent was Donald Miller. After talking a few minutes with him, we left as our train was approaching. Arriving at Venice, we took a ride in a Gondola and marveled at the beautiful scenery. The music was furnished by John Ganster, our guitar player. Our trip to Rome, the Eternal City, was one of unforgettable splendor. In the black robes of the pilgrim We received Our Holy Father's blessing. Basilio Floriani, as one of the Swiss Guards, was magnificent. Weeks passed and we soon found ourselves in Rumania. Visiting the largest city, we went to an interesting shop. As we walked through the store, we saw Anna Kalina behind the counter, and Helen Shugars was engaged in checking sales' accounts. Going to The Dress Shoppe, we wished to see the models. There appeared Josephine Ludwikowski, Fern O'Meara, Pauline Mahon, and Margaret Timko. In the center of the room was Joyce Emerick designing dresses and the like. After the exhibition, Joyce spoke with us and told us that we knew the HEAD of the firm. She took us to the office and we saw upon the door, Irene Gay, President. Our afternoon chat came to a close, leaving us in a happy frame of mind. Crossing the many countries of Europe, we were on our Way to board the ship at Liverpool. Having several hours before departure, we went to a restaurant for dinner. As We dined, we entertained ourselves with the floor show. Among the best dancers were Anna Ward and Thomas Powers, partners in the dancing ballet. Glancing about us, we observed Esther Zychewicz, Elizabeth Lesher, Gerald McDevitt, and George Reddy. The cashier at the desk was Thomas Mahan, jolly and content, enjoying his vacation from his arduous dental pro- fession. By this time everything was set for our journey home. On the ship We met George Maslar who told us that he was in the Diplomatic Service, on a good will tour, for American and English interests. Saturday night the boat docked in New York. Our bags were sent straight to our home While we remained in New York over night. The next morning we went to St. Patrick's Cathedral Where we remembered our deceased classmate, Daniel di Lorenzo, for whom the Mass was offered. After spending the day in New York, we went to ELINE,S PHEASANT on Fifth Avenue. George Eline had been the head of the establishment for several years, with many chain stores throughout the United States. We had luncheon there and soon left for dear old Reading. It was delightful to be home again after such a long absence. -MILDRED E. MENSCH, ,4O MADELEINE V.

So, we, the oflicers of Saint Peter High School, must blaze a trail by which each student, through our leadership, will attain his or her ultimate goal-- not only that of a model high school student-but to be a prominent factor in the leadership of human society in all that she stands for in what is right for God and Country. For We are convinced that proper leadership attended with co-operation in every class and school activity will be the nucleus of preserving in our American institutions freedom from the immoralities of the isms of the day. Our fellow students must have recognized in us some qualities of leadership when they intrusted the various class officers to our keeping. That We may be true to their trust we must erect Signposts on our trail which will permeate the light of our personalities in the manner and the conduct of others. The guiding force on these Signposts will be Simplicity, Perseverance, Honor, Sincerity. Wfe attain the first virtue by acting in a natural manner, Without affectation. Not to give up when confronted with obstacles, objections, lack of co-operation, and appreciation is to practice Perseverance. A leader will be upright and just, and will adhere firmly to standard principles when Honor is an integral part of his life. Sincerity stamps itself indelibly on those who are true to God, themselves, and their neighbors. Let others see that they can count on us. Don't be afraid to tell the truth, in a Word, be honest- with yourself and others. If we can keep the trail bright with these Signposts, which in turn will direct others, then we can be assured that the choice of our class- mates has not been in vain. Let us hold high the standards of Simplicity, Perseverance, Honor, and Sincerity. -JOSEPHINE M. LUDWIKOWSKI, ,4O MARGARET H. TIMKO, '40 Forty Forty-one lfll'll0l 0tfU'lg5 ' THE 1959 annual Let's-get-together of St. Peter High School Alumni had been a huge success. As the night lengthened its shadows the crowd segregated into various groups, each proving the existence of a certain class reunion. I sat in an alcove with my own former classmates renewing the acquaintances which had been mine for so many years. As a foreign correspondent I had made strang- ers of my friends, but now, together again, we spoke of our school days, dwelling longest on our third year, which all agreed was the happiest and the most carefree of our high school days. Our Junior year brought before our mind's eye our splendid faculty. Sister Antoinette Marie, our Home Room Sponsor, made us History-minded, and opened up for us avenues of delight in the field of Chem- istry. We realize, at last, what it meant to urge the urchins along the flowery path of knowledge. The Junior year had been the year in which we selected our courses. We had carefully considered and then taken the necessary steps. We recalled our earnest way of getting down to work and at the end of the first semester we had the joy of placing eight members of the Class on the First Honor Roll. - A green uniform against a background of blue ones heralded the arrival of Mary Sweeney from West Philadelphia Catholic High School for Girls. Samuel DiBella's transferring from Southwest completed the list of newcomers this year. The two newcomers wasted no time in getting in step with the one-hundred per cent co-operation extended to all school activities by the section 3B of the Junior Class. As further proof of our school Spirit we contributed Luke Chelius and Sammy Calabria to the varsity basketball squad and every game found the Jun- iors present to cheer and encourage the players. By applying ourselves to our studies enthusiastically the time till, Christmas literally flew and several members of the Class were preparing a skit for the enjoyment of the school. Christmas came as a breather before mid-year exams through which everyone passed very successfully, considering the length of them. With the passing of exams we returned to our favorite work, the extra- curricular sidelines in all the subjects. For instance, in History we drew a striking parallel between the condition of pre-World War days and the conditions exist- ing today. We also had a debate by the history class concerning the enlargement of our navy. In our new tongue, we had a Vocabulary Bee and we learned to order a meal in Iirench, which proved an excellent incentive to learn the new language. Few of us will forget the fate of poor Mlle. Souris and her imprudent father. We understood why Madame Souris wept, the poor Widow. Any extraordinary occurrences on a Thursday afternoon were due to the laboratory exploits of 3B,s Chemistry Class. English provided us with several interesting diversions. Preparatory to seeking employment, we were instructed how to grant or seek an interview and the proper art of telephoning. Two debates, a minor and a major one, filled up the debate schedule. The question was, The Abolishment of Capital Punishment in the United States. The members of our team were Anna May Kopcik, Florence Dombrowski, Vincent Florianni and John Clemmens and they upheld the affirmative side of the question. The subject, being up to date, was quite interesting and brought forth the best efforts of the entire Class who assisted the actual contestants by their intelligent at- tention. The Commercial students had some very interesting sidelines, also. The typists have attained some enviable records in their five minute tests. While the bookkeeping pupils were making the final entry in the General Journal, the short- hand experts completed their list of Hve hundred memorized forms. An early Lent found the Class ready to show its spirit of mortification and penance by attending the Lenten devotions. The Class also participated in the devotions to the Child Jesus held every Tuesday afternoon after school, in con- junction with the Miraculous Medal Novena. After the Easter holidays, preparations were begun for the annual Spring Frolic held by the Junior Class. The earnest zeal of the Class coupled with the splendid co-operation of the other Classes assured the Hnancial and social success of this affair. The entire Class took part in beautiful May Day ceremonies held in honor of the Blessed Virgin, for whom each member of the Class had a very fond devotion. Graduation exercises brought down the curtain on a highly successful year. -JOHN C.

How the time passed bringing the S.S. JUNIOR to Pier 3A. Every- one goes down the gang-plank, boards a bus which takes them to their des- tination-Reading Catholic High. The students are warmly greeted by a sea of new faces, becoming ac- quainted immediately with their new teachers and being welcomed back by their old ones. New experiences, thrills and studiesfare in store for the students. ' OCTOBER A Literary Club, sponsored by our English teacher, Sister Rose Alma- was formed and meetings were to be held on the first Friday of each month. Each meeting was to be pre- sided over by a Chairman and a Sec- retary who were to be appointed at the preceding meeting. Business was combined with pleasure in this club when telephone calls were made and interviews were conducted by mem- bers of the class during the club meet- ings. ' NOVEMBER The Literary Club, under the di- rection of Elizabeth Sperling, gave a play titled NO THANK YOU! The members of the cast included: Christine Perdock, Winifred Breen, Dorothy Martin, Madeline Sommers, Gloria Koller, Charlotte Newhouser, Rose Marie Nicholas, Mary Correnti, Shirley Dougherty and Arline Wish- neiski. The student body and the fac- ulty not only enjoyed the drama,- but were refreshed by the musical strains of the school orchestra which played between the scenes, adding much to our enjoyment. ' DECEMBER The Junior Class sponsored a Christmas Program in which the members of the Sophomore, the Jun- ior and the Senior Classes participated. The Program comprised Glee Club singers of the Senior and Junior Classes. A play titled THE CHRIST- MAS BABE in which some Sopho- more Boys and Junior Girls enacted the leading roles. Another play was given by members of both junior Sections and we must give consider- able credit to the splendid acting Af r L W .I V' t 4:-.af-A.. Q-.ni uami,-n....f.....,......i.,a., .a-.M --1--L shown in the performance. The Rev- erend Michael V. Reing and the Rev- erend Michael O'Rourke were guests of honor. To add to the good cheer and happiness of the holiday season, Father Reing gave a box of candy to every boy and girl. ' JANUARY In preparation for Catholic Press Month a campaign was begun for chi: spread of Catholic Literature. All the classes were asked to co-operate by bringing in religious periodicals and magazines. Here the Juniors exhib- ited their religious spirit in as much as they outnumbered the other classes in their contributions. The Catholic Literature was then sent to Public In- stitutions throughout Berks County. Foreign missionary contributions 1951 1 .I , 2 , . A i f 1 Q . 1 . , - . I were voluntarily given and sent to the Central Office during the year. Through the co-operation of the en- tire class the Religious Activities en- joyed smooth-sailing. ' FEBRUARY The Junior class of girls held an innerclass debate Tuesday, February 27, in their classroom. The subject for debate was, Rrsolzwf, That George Washington Was a Better Man Than Abraham Lincoln. The afhrmative speakers were Madeline Sommers, Christine Perdock, and Viola Cucin- natta, while the speakers upholding the negative side were: Arline Wish- nieski, Margaret Korejwo and Doro- thy Martin. The chairman Was Char- lotte Newhouser and the timekeeper was Mary Condash. Forly-four Forty-five ' MARCH In this month new names appeared on both the first and second Honor Roll. We are commenting on this list in particular because of the marked improvement over the previous lists. ' APRIL The annual Junior Spring Frolic was held on Thursday, April 4th and was attended by the entire student body. The morning was devoted to games and other forms of entertain- ment for the grade school children. Both grade and high school children enjoyed the tempting lunches, and the dancing during the noon hour, while the afternoon was given over to a prom for the high school students. Financially and socially the day was a success. ' MAY A beautiful shrine was erected to commemorate Our Lady's Month. The students vie with one another to make this token of their love for-Our Lady outstanding. In keeping with this spirit a very fitting celebration was held in honor of our Heavenly Mother. The Class unanimously pro- claimed Mary Correnti as May Queen who expressed their sentiment of love and devotion to Mary Immaculate. The Marys KM. Burkhart, M. War- fel, M. Sperling, M. Burnsj, of the Class, recited in the name of the other members the Act of Consecration to Our Lady. Following this they filled the air with the sweet, blending tones of the May Hymns permeating the air with only the fragrance that these beautiful thoughts and strains can waft. Static Static The class was kept busy with lessons. Why must We have final examinations? Ac- tive preparations on the part of the Juniors are evidenced in class dues, for they wish to give the dignified Seniors a noble, affectionate send-off. Our custom has been to give the Graduates a Communion Breakfast at Whitner's on Graduation morning. Our Sponsor, Sister Philomena Marie, has been most helpful in guiding us along the right lines. We are looking forward to the beautiful May Pro- cession which takes place on the last Sunday of May. The Seniors have chosen Miss Dolores Gorney as the May Queen. ' JUNE The ninth day of June brings the departure of the Seniors. No other highlight compares with this event. The S. S. Junior has completed its sail, and its mates are about to bid farewell to the Seniors. Many are the messages and mementos that might pass between these mates, to their upper classmen. Bon Voyage! ex- presses our sentiments perfectly. May all your days be pleasant sailing! Our thoughts are ships far out at sea, Laden with pearls of prayer for thee, If they be lost eternally, What shall the tides bring back to me? Room N ine, Som-IOMORE BoYs, Saint Peter High School, Reading, Pennsylvania, June, 1940 DEAR CHUCK! Here it is-June again-and we are nearing the completion of our Sopho- more year. I think that I have not written to you since this time last year. Well, you know all about our activities and hobbies as Freshmen. What have you been doing in your Sophomore year? This, no doubt, is the question that you are anxiously waiting to ask, and we are delighted to tell you. Well, Sister Rose Alma, our home-room teacher gave us the motto, One Hundred Per Cent in Everything. You know how hard it is for some of your pals to reach that goal. However, after a struggle or two we all seemed to make the grade. This is particularly true of our religious activities. We have been faith- ful in our contributions to the Propagation of the Faith, receiving Holy Com- munion each Sunday, and attending Mass every day in Lent. You're glad of this, aren't you? In addition to Religion, English and Latin that we studied in our first year have been added Modern History, Geometry and Biology. Through the maze of triangles, angles and circles that would dazzle the eyes of any geometrician or artist we survived, as for our original problems no one could say that they were not the newest discoveries of the age. You know, Chuck, your pals, being very much alive, were naturally at- tracted to the study of living things which is the subject matter of Biology. This we found both new and interesting and delighted in showing our interest in the posters which were exhibited of birds, insects, and lower types of animals. As We told you before, getting introduced to Latin was not easy, but on our second meeting we found it quite absorbing, for some of us have -been so Latin-minded that we have subscribed to a Latin magazine Auxilium Latinum, published as a Latin sight reading text with literary as well as linguistic interests. Some of your pals in competition with the high grade students in other high schools took a test issued by the publishers of this magazine. To add zest and interest in our English Class Parliamentary Procedure has been continued. It is a system wherein speeches on current topics, corrective English and round table discussion are presented in systematic order. Also our skill and improvement in public speaking is evidenced in our debates, Poverty is more of an opportunity than an Obstacle was the question under fire by your pals. William Cassidy, Joseph Cain, Arthur Lumley, Frederick Ermentrout up- held the aiiirmative side while Francis Sweeney, James Foley, and John Daley did the honors for the negative side. You would have been proud of the work of each of us. You always did cheer us on to victory, Chuck. In April we also held another debate. This time our opponents being the Sophomore girls and we discussed the topic, The City Has More Advantages Than the Country. Forty-six You have heard, no doubt, of the success that our basketball team had this year. Well, again, your pals came to the foreground for some of our number make up the Junior Varsity. So here's hoping with confidence that James Galla- gher, James Foley, Edward Dombroski, Samuel Buzzanca, William Calabria, and Renn Pauley will wave the victorious pennant and bring home the trophy at the close of next year's season. We also have a dramatic turn of mind for some of our members excelled in the leading roles of Following the Star which was presented at Christmas time. Then we dramatized in the class room an excerpt from the Merchant of Venice. The actors were Portia-Frederick Ermentroutg Shylock-Joseph Caing Nerissa -John Daleyg Antonio-James Foleyg Gratiano-Francis Sweeney: Bassanio- William Cassidyg The Duke-Anthony McDevitt. All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. So with this motto in mind we interspersed our working hours, and our religious and educational activities with some amusement. Numbered among these was the Leap Year Dance given by the Sophomores. Again our IOOW motto was realized. Everything was tops. Some lucky winner received a barrel of groceries. You should have tasted the tempting lunches prepared by the Red and Whitef' Oh, Boy! i Now, Chuck, you see that your pals are still improving. So-long, Chuck! Your old pals, THE SoPHoMoR1a Bovs .SJOIOLOIYIOPQ ' SEPTEMBER 5, 1939 was the reuniting date of the former Freshman Girls' Class. All looked forward to a bright and cheerful school year, filled with hard and Wofthwhile work. New faces appeared here and there, making one feel rather strange, but before long all the girls mingled together, as if they had known one another all their lives. The newcomers Were: Catherine DiBlasi, Caroline Druzba, Loretta Guzowski, Ida Hanna, Mary Julian, Virginia Keim, Josephine Kulak, Elizabeth McDevitt, Catherine Sallada, Rose Woytko and Genevieve Ziemba. Our next big date was October 1, the time for election of Class Officers. Several girls were nominated for each office by popular vote. The following girls were elected: President, Marguerite Spencer, Secretary, Mary Lou Larkin, Treas- urer, Mary Rita Roskeg Class Representative, Elizabeth Hullinger. Congratulations are to be extended to all the Sophomore Girls who Worked strenuously for the success of their annual party which was held on February 29, and proved to be a grand success. We also wish to thank all the other classes, without whose co-operation our party could not have been successful. On December 22, beautiful strains of Christmas music floated through the air in joyous praise of the Christ Child. Gifts were exchanged and a short pro- gram was arranged for the pleasure of all. Several volunteers sang, recited or amused us in other ways. This school day was closed with Silent Night amid a Merry Christmas for all. As for School Spirit, We think that no other class has more than that shown by our girls. A great number attended all the basketball home games, and we cannot forget how they cheered the boys on to victory in the football games at West Reading. The Biology Club, which incidentally consisted of 9592 of the class, spon- sored by Sister Antoinette Marie, can boast of an original playlet entitled Birds and Their Habits. The main objective was to bring to our minds that God, the Author of all life, created and cares for these little waifs of the air. The audience consisted of Mother M. Evangeline, Sister Rose Mary, ou! beloved Home-room Teacher, and the boys' division of our class. This class has been very faithful in contributing to the monthly collection for the Propagation of the Faith. These funds have been most graciously received by the missionary Fathers to carry on their great Work. Splendid posters relating to the Mass, the Rosary and the Sacraments were made by the girls and received favorable comments from all sides. During Catholic Press Week the girls con- tributed magazines, books and pamphlets to be sent to fields afar where God's creatures have not the advantages of Christian education such as we can procure without any effort. Our Religion classes have been very interesting and beneficial, and in future years We hope that this knowledge will be of great benefit to us. The Literary Club of our class met on the first Thursday of every month. It included various speeches and corrective English. Many interesting subjects were contributed to Round Table Discussion. Our Classmates merit congratulations Forty-eight for their splendid acting in the portrayal of the court scene in Shakespeare's im- mortal Merchant of Venicef, They also should be commended for their Hal- lowe'en sketch because of the tremendous amount of time and effort put forth to make it a success. The Class Debate was held on February zoth. The topic was, Rl'Sfl1l'l't1I Poverty is an Opportunity Rather than an Obstacle to Success. The affirmative side was upheld by Genevieve Ziemba, Mary Bigos, and Mary Jane Grauert. Caroline Druzba, Mary Lou Larkin and Josephine Kulak were the nega- tive representatives and proved the stronger of the two sides. Debates were under the supervision of Sister Rose Alma, who teaches us English. During the course of the year First Honors were awarded to the following pupils: Mary Bigos, Caroline Druzba, Josephine Kulak, Mary Lou Larkin, Mar- guerite Spencer, and Genevieve Ziemba. Our girls are progressing rapidly in their Latin and Geometry studies. The geometric designs were artistically arranged and graced the walls of the class- room. 7S?4 of the class belongs to the Association for the Promotion of the Study of Latin, the Latinum Auxiliumf' -ELIZABILTH HULI-INGIiR, ,42 J - ' , If a' 'f1'!Q' V I agnformafion, lggaae. ' MEET THE FRESHMAN BOYS- Would you think as you look at our friendly countenances that we were practically strangers in September? However, it did not take long for us to be- come acquainted. Our shyness soon wore off and we were as friendly as you see us now. ' INFORMATION, PLEASE! What have we accomplished? Our keynote has been organization. Elections took place early in the school term and the coveted positions were Won by: President, Thomas Welshg Secretary, John Markowskig Class Representative, George Vernon. Interest was aroused and sustained in our various lessons, and organization units in the form of clubs. Among these are the Science Club in which John Sullivan, George Burkhart, and Robert Chelius hold respectively the positions of Presiding Chairman, Secretary, and Representative. The Freshman Literary Activities was chosen as the name for our active English Club. This club func- tions monthly for the purpose of Parliamentary Procedure, Debates, Book Re- ports, and Public Speaking, where We endeavor to become skilful as public ora- tors, and amateur performers. Our religious spirit has an outlet in our Catholic Action Club. This unit presented, for our first activity, a Christmas Play, which brought to light the talents of some of our worthy members. Next we made a reproduction of the Town of Bethlehem. This we displayed in the school hall, and if we do say it ourselves, it was grand. Mother and Sisters complimented us and our Sponsor, Sister M. St. William. Of course, without Sister St. William's guiding hand, we couldn't have done it. The most gigantic task that confronted us was THE MISSION PROJECT. We couldn't do the sewing for this, so the SOS was sent to the friendly rivals who occupy the room opposite ours-the Freshman girls. After a time there appeared the results-the fruits of the re- quests for articles for missionaries. Many were the finger towels, sick call sets, cruets, candles, hand crocheted and handsome altar linens of all descriptions, rosaries, and statues. These articles were then sent to needy missionaries in poorer localities. In order that any of these organizations function successfully, proper spirit is necessary and this proper, co-operative school spirit we have found in each member of the Freshman class. Our spirit was particularly noted in the one hundred per cent attendance at basketball games, school social affairs, and dances. We remember our teachers gratefully, and we take this opportunity to thank each Sister for her patient forbearance with us in our first year of high school. We won't forget Mother Evangeline's Algebra periods, Sister Rose Alma's Par- liamentary Procedure, and Sister Francisca's Latin lessons. Sister Mary Simeon guided us through the Art Course, and the Stain Glass Windows and decorative compositions in analagous, monochromatic, and triadic harmony will go down in Fifty i ,,., -.-w.---,-,..........-..... i. ..,.-.,-,..,....,fg..Lg.-fQ,, history. We depended on Sister St. Willianm for the most of our Freshman sub- jects: viz., Religion, History, General Science, and Hygiene. We think that the steadfast loyalty and spirit of Saint Peter is found in each Freshman boy whose ambition is to make his class an example of the outstanding virtues inculcated by the great spirit of his Alma Mater. May she be able to point, with pride, to her loyal sons of the Class of 1943! -JOHN SULLIVAN, '43 ff' ,qv , Iiiffy-alle ' - ' ' f 'A A 1 ,yn .f ,. .' ,, Wx.-i' gg -xv-1, If, V' , .S jreakman janciea ' As THE YEAR revolves in its cycle, April rolls in with her varying moods, and sends forth her Hrst shoots, with a hesitancy unknown for many years. But the buds will blossom and expand under the gentle influence of brighter May days. In September of 1939 we entered Saint Peter's High School as strange to each other as the buds growing from different roots, but ready to endure the training of Freshmen under the gentle guiding influence of our home room teacher whom we learned to be Sister Mary Francisca. just as the bud fresh, and verdant discloses its fragrance as it develops, our minds and characters were developed by means of our various religious, social and educational activities. Our missionary endeavors took root, and brought forth blossoms in our monthly contributions to the Propagation of the Faith, and in the Mission Project which was sponsored by Sister St. William. Every freshman boy and girl aided generously in this project. All types of handiwork on altar linens were displayed, and other religious articles that would delight any missionary. These contributions were then distributed to worthy causes. The buds opened wider and continued to send forth their fragrance as our talents in the various activities related to the subjects in our course of study. Our English class had Parliamentary Procedure at its monthly meetings. Different girls presided as officers at these gatherings. Many were the interesting speeches heard. Among these was a debate, the topic of which was Washington Was a Greater Man Than Lincoln. The girls upheld the affirmative side of the question and the boys the negative. Another added attraction to our English Pro- gram was the various one-act sketches that were dramatized. Irving's Rip Van Winkle was well acted, and enjoyed by all. The nectar of our buds attracted the Latin Bees. These were held between the boys and girls, but here we are sorry to say that the boys were the victors twice while the girls captured the banner only once. However, certiicates for outstanding work in Latin will be awarded to Josephine Cucinotta, Dorothy Kalina, Rita O'Brien, and Nancy Sweeney. The following girls have lead the class in their scholastic endeavors and have been listed on the coveted honor roll: Josephine Cuccinotta, Geraldine Heis- roth, Dorothy Kalina, Rita O'Brien, Nancy Sweeney, Dorothy Warfel, and Elaine Weber. Our social activities did not in any way hinder the growth and verdure of these buds, for they continued to expand by their co-operation and good sports- manship in every activity,-supporting school dances and parties, attending bas-- ketball games regularly, and spurring the team to victory by their cheering and enthusiasm. Among the Social events sponsored by the Freshmen class was the Hal- loweien party which proved to be a financial and a social success, while another was the Christmas play entitled, Christmas Everywhere? This afforded enter- tainment for the entire student body, and was enjoyed and applauded by all.

May June of 1943 find each of us completing this cycle of seasons at Saint Peter's in a manner worthy of the dignity and the privilege that will be ours in being Il graduate of St. Peter High School. -N.NNCiY Swi-LIQNEY, '43 DOROTHY SPENCER, '43 ELAINE WEBER, '43 GERALDINIZ HliISROTH, '43 RITA OlBRIEN, '43 LATINUM AUXILIUM Medal Wi1111c'r-Anne Sweeney, IA Iiolzonzlzlv Mwzfimz-Geraldine Heisroth, IA: Josephine Kulak, zAg Francis Sweeney, 2B 1940 ctiv ities . ,J V.

Biology enables him to use these creatures properly and to the greatest personal advantageg it helps him to enrich and preserve his own life and that of other creatures, that by so doing he may complete the beautiful plan of life of which God is the Author.

We can never forget them. Our Faculty: SISTER MARY SIMEON SISTER PI-IILOMENA MARIE SISTER M. ROSE ALMA SISTER MARY FRANCISCA MOTHER MARY EVANGELINE, Principal SISTER ANTOINETTE MARIE SISTER ROSE MARY SISTER MARY ST. WILLIAM Each member of our teaching staff was as interested in our winning as we were ourselves. The year 1938-1939 did not reach tops for us as did that of 1939-1940. However, Mother Mary Eleonora, our former Principal, was so pleased with the strides that we had made that she rewarded us by an invitation to a grand ban- quet at the close of the season in I939. We couldn't forget that. In fact, we wondered if anything like it would happen to us again. When we heard that our new Principal, Mother Mary Evangeline, would follow the precedent set in I939 -if we were successful-we were very happy. And so on a wonderful day in April, the Varsity Squad enjoyed a delicious Banquet, in their honor. Reverend Michael V. Reing was our special guest of honor, attended by Rev. Michael J. O'Rourke, Coach Joseph Calabria, '37, James Holton, '39, the Student and the Business Managers, and the eight members of the Varsity Squad. An interesting after-dinner speech was delivered by Father Reing, followed by Father O,Rourke and Coach Calabria, after which the spiritual director, on behalf of the team, presented Mr. Calabria with a testimonial, as a token of the esteem in which he is held. We saved a sample of our menu, for the enjoyment of the young Eaglets and the student body who were not as fortunate as we were.

These are seven in number of which George Maslar has a minimum rate of 120 words a minute. He hopes to attain by the end of this semester 140 Words which will make him eligible for a special medal. Other students who have achieved the Ioo word award are Donald Miller, Bernard Huck, Mildred Mensch, and Frances Flannagan. These students are striving earnestly to achieve the 120 word award by the end of the term. The remaining speedsters are: Colette Kramer, Lucy Cavalucci, and Helen Shugars.

Their handbook, The Copyreader's Workshop, cut out in definite patterns the steps in copyreading, headline writing, make-up, and proof reading. Armed with pencils, clips, paste, shears, manuals, and typewriters, the stage was set for the cubs' rehearsal. From the editing of a piece of copy to the laying out of the dummy this enthusiastic group of young people forged ahead, under the direction of their sponsor, Sister Mary Simeon.

O'ROURKE Spiritual Director of the Eagles ' PERHAPS never in the history of our school has so much been accomplished in the realm of Basketball for our Alma Mater and her loyal Eagles. Great credit goes to our friend and spiritual adviser, Reverend Michael J. O'Rourke. In 1909, the population of Philadelphia was in- creased by the advent of a beloved son in the O,Rourke household. An interesting interval paved the way for young Michael's entrance to school, where his elementary, as well as his secondary studies, were round- ed out in an atmosphere of Catholicity. A saintly Mother's prayers must have been N answered when this promising young man became part of the student body in St. Charles Seminary, where a college course prepared the young Levite for the classical studies leading to the Priesthood. On the first day of Our Ladyis Month, in 1937, this earnest candidate was ordained, becoming forever, a Priest of the Most High. In broad pen paintings we have sketched our friend, Reverend Michael J. O'Rourke. Saint Lawrence's Parish, Catasauqua, was the young assistant Rector's Hrst assignment. After one year's Work there, Saint Peter's Reading, welcomed an energetic assistant to Rev- erend Michael V. Reing's Rectory. For two years we have worked with Father O'Rourke and his patience, humility, kindness and encouragement have won our admiration. During this time he has played a very important part in the reconstruction of various organizations in the Parish, the Alumni, the Boy Scouts and Social Activities. We need not emphasize the spiritual end of it, as Father leads in that respect. But most of his time has been spent with the Basketball team and we are mindful of the credit due to him for its success in the past season. With never ending diligence he supplied many needs for the team, but his never-failing optimism and encouragement to the Coach and to the players are spiritual gifts which make him truly our benefactor, one who does good for others, and on this virtue we base our friendship and esteem for our spiritual adviser. As the masterpieces of great artists must have light and shadow to bring the subject to completion, so Father O'Rourke filled our lives with the sunshine of his en- couragement when often the day was dark. As a fitting climax to his wonderful achievements throughout the season, the team was able to travel to Williamsport where our boys waged an unsuccessful battle in the Catholic State Tournament. -MICK Sci-IORN, '40 Ml' OCLCA C ' To Coach Joe Calabria goes a great deal of the credit for the outstanding success of a truly great team. Since Joe took over the reins as mentor at Reading Catholic in 1937 he has been constantly striving to instill exact court mechanics, accurate shooting, teamwork, and the will to win into his teams in an attempt to find a Winning combination. At first, in spite of his best efforts there was something lack- ing. One of the ingredients was missing. His teams won, but not consistently and when the chips were down they didn't come through. But Joe never gave up and by the end of the 1938-39 campaign he began to vision the results of his labor. This year the boys proved that Joe was IOSEPH M. CALABRIA, '57 Cwfh not mistaken in his belief for they showed their mettle. His years of struggle were at last rewarded for When the last whistle of the 1940-41 basketball wars blew his team had won sixteen games and lost but two and they were crowned champions of the Eastern Pennsylvania Catholic League, unconquered in league competition. Little Caesar was and is more than just the coach to the boys on his teams. He is their friend and adviser. Whenever the teams lose, he is more disappointed than his players for he feels that he is at fault, that the team shouldn't have lost and that he is to blame for their defeat through some omission in the training. When they Win, Joe is the picture of joy for he believes that the victory is a tribute to his faith in the individual ability of each player. Joe loses six of his eight Varsity performers by graduation but he has an excellent J.V. team coming up. He doesn't expect to win the championship next year but watch out for Reading Catholic about 1942 when with Joe at the helm they will again be dangerous pennant contenders. -BILL HAMMES, ,4O Sixty-,fix V'JAl'l'!'Il J I I tivunl gi iii ' 1 S Clif! ll!! 9 51,15- ,435-::.ii ' grg::.x'cax'rm':cr:mx Axes? : .. . .---- . - ..::1-:--L 'U mxxxxxuun......... - JA... ...X '.. :.'. ,. . . 4:.':.' rg, - --, - ...T::. xnussxnxttlnna mann- -- -it - - . . . - - .....-. - - .: ' - - - -- - - xuxuyggxsx!tlSXXlKXi113555 N -...---- - ..-,--..--p , ,,, .. . . - - .. ... - .::'.1-:.:- - -....... 1 E..-.x-.-.xxvs.-.::':.'.:'.':.t12.'2.11 .. - H.

Under the watchful eye of Coach Joe Calabria the squad was weeded out until only eight performers remained to become the Varsity for the I939-40 season. Seven of the eight chosen to represent Reading Catholic were veterans of last year's aggregation. The eighth was Luke Chelius, a promising guard, who will be available next year. Of the eighteen games on the schedule, four were new opponents for the Eagles. Two of these newcomers were local teams, Evening High and St. Paul's. The third new team was Ashland, a member of the powerful Anthracite Catholic League. The Eagles faced an out of state opponent for the first time when they clashed with Phillipsburg, New Jersey, the latest addition to our own league. This past season will go down in history as one of the most successful in the annals of the school. The team was victorious in sixteen of their eighteen games, compiling the magnificent winning percentage of .S88. This aggregation was also the highest scoring team ever to represent R. C. scoring 775 points while holding the opposition to 514. Early in May, the school received a twenty-seven inch trophy, emblematic of Winning the Eastern Pennsylvania Catholic League championship, a fitting climax to a great season. -BILL HAMMES, ,4O , U N3 S1'.r!y-fight - Sirtv-nine 1939-40 Z?a.l-aflaff IQWMI. 714.

BIRDS COME FROM BEHIND FEBRUARY I-Once again our high-flying Eagles went over the top to a hard- earned victory by a close score of 28-24 over Easton Catholic. This was the last game in the first half of Reading Catholic's schedule. EAGLES COP THRILLER FEBRUARY 7-Starting the second half of the season by playing Allentown Cath- olic a return game, the boys proved to be still as strong as ever. A.

MEET DETERMINED FOE FEBRUARY I9TJ0l.11'l'lCyII1g to Conshohocken, the Eagles were forced to play a very rough and fast game.

BIRDS ELIMINATE BROWN AND GOLD FEBRUARY 25-Playing the last away game of the season, R. C. traveled to Beth- lehem to play their closest rivals.

UL ' WHILE the Varsity members of the Basketball Squad were making history, the j.V.'s built the foundation for the 1940-1941 season by pitting themselves against eleven opponents. The Baby Birds earned for their squad the title HEAGLETSQ' winning ten out of Hfteen games to establish a .667 percentage. If you had chanced to drop into a practice session you would have noticed that the reserves were dishing up plenty of trouble for the Varsity crews. In the Phil- lipsburg and the Easton games, the Babes took over the court and held their own in competition with varsity league teams exhibiting that unbeatable spirit so fa- miliar with all Reading Catholic teams. Now, that the season is over, let us stop to give a nod of encouragement to these lads. Coach Calabria feels confident that these boys, together with his two grizzled veterans, Sammy Calabria and Luke Chelius, will be able to step into the shoes of the spectacular I939-I94O Squad. Phil Calabria will abdicate his guard post in favor of his brother, Bill. Zeke Gallagher seems to be the only man capable of filling those size twelve shoes of lanky Bill Kleine. These lads will stand watching next year. -JOHN CLEMMENS, '41 .fdppreciafion Each graduate needs a friend at the time of his commencement.
