consisted of a programmable oak master clock in the Principal's Office with <br />synchronized wall clocks in every classroom. Following the high school's move <br />to Oakland Road in 1954, the building was used as a Community Center or <br />shuttered until it was sold to developers in1988. Prior to the sale, members of the <br />School Department and the Reading Historical Commission toured the building to <br />determine if there were any items that might be worth retaining. This clock was <br />one of the artifacts that were removed prior to turning over the building. <br />In 1990, a battery powered quartz movement replaced the antique clock <br />mechanism and Stephen Trites of Furniture Restoration of Reading donated the <br />refinishing of the clock case. The clock hung in the RMHS Media Center until the <br />most recent renovation; since then, the clock has not really had much of a home. <br />We're pleased to finally have it in a place where it can be enjoyed as a beautiful <br />piece of craftsmanship, a technological curiosity of its time and an interesting <br />piece of Reading history. <br />Mrs. Webb moved, seconded by Dr. Nihan, to accent the donation of a clock <br />to be hung in the Central Office.
