At the beginning of the year, all students had a little trouble readjusting to the academic life. Many organizations, such as Ghost Towners, French, and Science Clubs, got going again planning activities for the year, Ghost 7 owners decided to have a trip a month and to sell jewelry to finance their four day spring trip. Even with new restrictions on candy sales, for many clubs, they began as soon as there was a student council to approve them. Representatives from various colleges visited Reed to persuade seniors to apply to their school. Entrance exams had to be taken and applications sent out before the first semester was over. While seniors were preparing to leave school, freshmen prepared to be in school for the next four years, finding out about required classes, elective courses, and the many activities to be involved in at Reed.

Activities began with an exciting start because of a widely attended first dance, bonfire, and Homecoming festivities in mid-October. The school came to life during dress-up days, the most popular being punk rock day and urban cowboy day. A hall decorating contest between the classes was held during Homecoming week so that posters and streamers hung from ceilings and walls in each of the main halls. The theme for the float competition was commercials or slogans. The seniors won with a float featuring smoke and balloons coming out of a champagne bottle entitled Champagne-Jam. The freshmen float took second with a can of Raid spraying Sparks bugs with a slogan of Knock 'em dead. Raiders! Even so, the juniors won the spirit stick because of their spirit, participation in dress-up days, and their decorative hall. At the Homecoming game, halftime was enlivened through polished performances by the band and drill team. Halftime also brought the crowning of Kim Porter as the new Homecoming Queen. 4 COMING TO LIFE
