All that we are today is a reflection of their gentle care. It was our parents upon whom we leaned to take our first step, and again, we are dependent upon them for advice to make that tremendous step into a strange, new World. OUR PRIESTS, who are our spiritual guides, have pre- pared us to make our way among infidels and unbe- lievers. It is they who instill in us the will to live and defend our faith as true and loyal children of God in a materialistic world. THE FORMATION and development of our minds has fallen to our great teachers, the Sisters of the Immacu- late Heart of Mary. To them we owe all the gratitude that can be found in our hearts, for giving us a Chris- tian education, which will enable us to travel the stormy path of life with greater ease. - X I .Jk- I.. wvlk wi READING CATHOLIC students visit St. Cather-ine's Chapel during the Forty Hours Devotions.

BEING, beloved pastor of St. Peter's Parish, can be found sitting behind the desk in his ofiice. Tirelessly, he listens to our problems and imparts to us ct light of understanding. Rrzvnnrnn Lrzo E. GA'rr:Ns, assistant curate at St. Peter's Parish, is a well known figure at Reading Catholic. He is the senior religion instructor, Spiritual Director of the Athletic Association, the Alumni Association, and the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The students at Read- ing Catholic deeply appreciate the kindness and hard work that Father has so unselfishly given us. Father Reing is the guiding light of St. Peter's Parish. During his twenty-six years as pastor, he has aided every gen- eration that travels the stormy path to eternity by his understanding nature. He has truly taken the place of Christ on earth by helping men with his spiritual needs. This kind'and sympathetic priest has guided us through the years with a loving, gentle hand. To him we are most grateful, for it is through him that we have the opportunity of graduating from our dear Reading Catholic High School. The school itself reflects his virtues. His spirit lends a depth of character to all our activities. His kindly love is cher- ished in the hearts of all his pupils, who in return love and respect him with a deep sense of admiration. With his love we are prepared to enter the world knowing that he will be with us in all our chosen fields. Our deepest apprecia- tion to our pastor Father Reing for his sincere and trustful love.

IN FRESHMAN YEAR Here in the Freshman Year we see the seeds being planted for the trees which will bear wonderful fruits, when they have been matured after four years of Christian educa- tion. This year is the beginning of one of the most important phases in our lives because what we learn in our Freshman year and the years that follow, will help us bring about a better Christ-like world. We now receive higher knowledge in the fields of arts and sciences, but most important in the Christian doctrines we are taught. May these pictures help to show the splendid beginning of true Catholic men and women.

Here our under- classmen are given a chance to train themselves in Christian principles as they map out a program for orderly and respectful conduct. As Freshmen, our students are introduced to a higher form of religious training, which is new and a little trightening, as they begin to realize their tremendous responsibilities. Now as Sophomores, the seed that was sown in their minds begins to take root and will blos- som, as the year progresses, into a beautiful flower of understanding and tolerance. These virtues will enable them to lead a lite ol prac- tical Catholicism as taught by the Lite ot Our Lord, Iesus Christ.

Tm: Assoclnrr: editors ol the Petrel , Kathleen Higgins, and Ioan Texter, caught during an informal discussion. A symbol of our literary achievements as students of the Catholic Press is manifested in the publication of Reading Catholic High School's Year Book, The Petre1. The name Petrel is a diminutive originating from a comparison of a srnall feathered bird to Saint Peter, which like Saint Peter is enabled to walk the waters through God's Divine Provi- dence . Following Peter's example of such great faith we have sealed our production with the emblem Ut Sim Fidelis , lThat I May Be Faithfull, trusting in God to guide us over the Sea of Life . ln this, the sixteenth vo'urne published in the year 1950 A.D., The Pei:'e1 staff has been steadily striving toward its goal of profes- sional artistry, however, more directly, our goal is to illustrate, unit by unit, the structure of a strongly established Christian faith. A Co-Enrrons, D. Folk and I. Dutfy, rest after a busy afternoon working on the Petr-el .

This year both Seniors and underclassmen have a hand in writing and working on the paper. Its arrival four times a year is always eagerly awaited by both the students in school and also its many alumni readers. The paper covers many topics but especially school, alumni, and sports news. One can easily understand why St. Peter's High should have a paper named The Rock . This is the exact name given to 'St. Peter, the first Pope, by Christ Himself. May the paper always live up to the high standards of its name. With the underclassmen working on the paper this year its readers can be sure that in the following years better and better papers will be turned out because of their previous experience. -A D.

This three act comedy, by Esther Olson, was the annual school play held in St. Margaret's Auditorium. Delightful in every aspect it appealed to both the young and the old with its colorful presenta- tion of Young America today. The plot centered around the hopes and trials of the Norris family, a typical family in a small college town. From Alex, the hero, on down to Miss Slocum, the Well-meaning Social Worker, the play was realistically enacted. After Weeks of practice, and lots of fun, the play was a great success. Congratulations are due to both casts for a job well done. 4-uivv-.- YOUR ALEX will certainly fail, states Miss Spencer, very emphatically, just listen to the answers on his exam! Things look black, indeed for Alex, as his high school teacher, Miss Spencer, presents the lacts to Mr. 6: Mrs. Norris on Alex's school life. 91 ,R U ll IN SWING FEVER Penny Palmer comes to Alexander Norris's home town in search of a new dancing partner for her new movie Swing Fever . Alex, who has a yen for dancing, borrows his father's tuxedo and his car and takes oft to Penny's ball, unknown to his father, who thinks that dancing is undigniiied. Making his get-away, Alex loses a portion oi his trousers, and is trailed by Penny's agents who have a contract for the owner of the tuxedo which has the missing piece. Dean Norris owns the suit and is headed for much embarrassment. The play centers around the untangling of this predicament and Alex's coming into his own as the rightful danc- ing partner.

It looks as though Alex was caught unprepared for this sudden outburst from Penny, and is really at the mercy ot his father. Can things ever straighten out? :QAM f- ,, P-:KY IOHN MASLAR OF COURSE they can! From the radiant smiles on their faces, things must have taken a right tum for all. Alex is again in the good graces ot his parents and is on his way toward a bright movie career. On this happy note, the curtain is drawn. Ni-J bfi?

Anticipation and hard work preceeded this success- Es. ful event held on December 28th, On arriving at the school auditorium eager dancers gazed at a transformation. The hall was decked with red and green streamersg the windows were converted into very realistic red-brick fireplaces. The principal attraction was a gigantic Christmas tree beautifully adorned with bright and shimmering balls and tinsel. Gay programs were distributed to our welcome friends, who were the essence of a very merry holiday spirit.

Record albums, candy, and passes to the movies had been given as prizes for such events as the spot dances, elimination dances, and door prizes. The dance supplied an opportunity to our students to get acquainted with each other, and with those who do not attend our school. Many new faces made their appear- ance at our festive holiday affair.

Our lovely choraleens have gained and sustained the reputation of furnishing strains of music which have never been closer to heavenly ones, and have produced some of the sweetest endings to a perfect day. The girls join to blend their angelic voices in melodic style to fill the air with harmony in weekly rehearsal. Their efforts are manifested in the many performances during the school year. At Christmas the girls fill us with sensations of pure holiness in the season of supreme sanc- tity, for such occasions as Confirmation, we are thrilled by their beautiful renditions. Their season meets Easter expressing all glory, laud and honor with all the inexpressible beauty which they alone can produce. Spring, when Hearts are young and spirits gay , our choraleens once more climax their classic charm in the annual concert.

Band members have discovered that effort in unison is the real secret of producing those sweet strains of harmonious melody that have so fre- quently held their audience in ecstatic rapture. This student organization has brought much gratification to all concerned. The festive season always finds its activity around R. C. culminated in the outstanding performance yielded from a year of productive exertion which concludes a season of musical orchids from the garden of classic band. Our deepest gratitude is extended to Mr. Gus King and Sister Cephas Maria for their efforts. Friendly, encouraging, and helpful is the way band members describe Mr. King who has been the R. C. band leader for six years. This quiet gentleman is the back- bone of our band. His unique style and capable man- agement have brought our band to its many successes.

The design is made and careful preparation laid throughout the entire school year for this event. Our girls spend many hours in vocal exercises that their well-trained voices may produce melodies Worthy of them. The band lays aside its military appearance and dons itself with an apparition of soft spring loveliness. As the principals assemble, that certain touch of moonlight and roses is added by the formal attire of the band. The concert begins proceeding with strains of vocal loveliness from the choraleens. The termination of the concert brings roses to Sister Cephas Maria, and to Mr. Gus King for their help. Last. but not least, we express our gratitude to the glee club and band members who by their participation brought this performance to a successful climax. Reading from left to right: R. M. Luno, I.

THE EAGLES ON PARADE The 1949-1950 edition of Reading Catholic's Eagles who for the fourth year were ably coached by Mr. Lewis lLewl Bertsch ended an ambitious season of thirty-one games with a record of seventeen wins and fourteen losses for a percentage of .548. This included eight wins and four losses to gain third place in the Philadelphia Suburban Catholic League. Although outclassed by some tougher opponents the Eagles displayed true Reading Catholic fighting spirit. Many heart- breaking games were lost by one or two points, but in overall competition, we, at Reading Catholic, should be proud of these fine athletes who, wearing the traditional Blue and Gold uniforms, practiced clean play and good Catholic sportsmanship at all times. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT is an ex- cellent motto which can be applied to the Eagles. Here they demon- strate their ability at lay up shots in a pre-game practice session at Southwest gym.

One can easily see by the rapt attention applied that the students find the course most interesting. Father has been teaching this course in Reading Catholic for three years. lives. As Seniors of the year 1950 A.D., we feel that never before has there been a greater need for youth to prove its power of df-fnocratic self-government. It is the ideal of all those concerned in this development that we in the Summer and Fall of our lives, shall plant seeds of stronger faith, greater good, and truer democracy. However, more important is the desire tor this greater good to develop in succeeding generations that which will guide them on to the direct path oi their Creator. Though we shall have follies in lite, such, as pertain to men and nations, it is our sincere wish that they may aid C1od's won- drous ways. Y- THESE SENzo1qs illustrate an active Spanish Class.

He has worked hard and has been rewarded justly. As he takes his place in the pew he looks at the altar of God, and another feeling fills his heart, one of grateful thankfulness to Our Lord, who has given him faith in God, faith in himself, and faith in his fellow neighbors, and who will watch over him and protect him always. The graduate prays a simple, yet beautiful prayer of thanksgiving. The year is over as all years must end, but his love of God and God's love for him will never ter- minate. I ft, The Mass is over. The pastor has congratu- lated him and has tried to impress upon him the great responsibility that is now upon his shoulders. The graduate is on his own, pre- pared in every degree to enter the world and face its sorrows, hardships, cares, and dis- appointments along with its joys. As he comes down the aisle he sees on each side of him familiar and beloved faces, and beyond them a yawning door which beckons him and represents a challenge to his Christian efforts and achievements, a door that leads into a strange, new, and difficult world. Our grad- uate is unafraid. He is prepared. . F KNUW THAT I AM FAITHFUL M. if 3f'i'Mf'!
