On the evening of Sept. 25, the seniors initiated us, but we had fun just the same. In the spring we gave the seniors a return party.

On the morning of September 4, 1951, we entered Reardan High School as Sophomores. Two of our members, Betty Christensen and Marjorie Fields did not enroll. Pat Kinservick and Ann Whipple enrolled as new members. As in the previous year, about ten of the Sophomore boys participated in the various sports. The F. F. A. judging team, consisting of George Carstens, Bruce Tramm, Tom Rogers, and Ronald Walther, went to Portland to judge at the Pacific International Livestock Show.

The Sophomore class party was held on the evening of March 7. The evening was spent in square dancing. Mr. Virgil Rux called the dances.

On the morning of September 2, 1952, we entered the doors of Reardan High School as Juniors, Being upper classmen, we felt very proud of ourselves. Lloyd Tremer was added to our numbers, but during the year the following dropped out, Sandra Tibbet, Claudine Rhoads and Eddy Piper.

Nearly all the junior boys participated in athletics this year. John Schultz and Bruce Tramm received honorable mention in the field of basketball. John Schultz was given a place on the first five All Star Basketball Team during the District play-off. Bruce Tramm received a place on the second five. Three boys from the junior class were on the judging team, namely, Paul Carstens, Gerald Brommer, and John Schultz. These boys made an excellent record at the Portland International Livestock Show.

The main activity of the year was the Junior class play entitled "Love Is In The Air". The play directed by Mr. Lizee was received most favorably.

"Stairway to the Stars" was the theme of our Junior-Senior Prom. The gym was decorated gaily for this occasion, Each guest was provided with a memory book.

The tables were covered with white paper and in the center there were silver stars with angel hair around the bottom, forming a base for the stars. Musical numbers interspersed the toasts, prophecy and will. Servers were from the sophomore class. Music was furnished by the Lewis and Clark orchestra. JoAnn Tierney was chairman for the Prom.
