The objective of this club is to further athletics, bring honor to our school and to develop leadership.

The officers for this year include:

<poem> President: Jim Clayton Vice-president: Ronald Ahlf Secretary: Mickey Swanson Treasurer: Mickey Swanson Council Rep.: Ralph Rhoads Advisor: Mr. Stimpson <poem>

The club sponsors the high school Carnival. The boys were responsible for many of the booths such as bingo, dart game, etc.

The club annually assists in the selection of a senior as the most valuable athlete of the year. The selection is based on the following: number of sports participated in, cooperation with team and coach, training, sportsmanship and attitude toward team and coach.

We appreciate the effort of these boys in making our athletics successful. Also we appreciate the work of the coach and the fine job he has done in helping to promote athletics in Reardan High School.
