Reedsburg High School - Gleaner Yearbook (Reedsburg, WI)

tew at Symbols are as necessary to man as happiness. They are a representation of the ideals he follows and the spirit of the group to which he belongs. The Gleaner staff has long felt the need of a symbol to represent the spirit of R.H.S. We found Reedy sitting in on one of our staff meetings and immediately adopted him as our mascot. We liked his industriousness, the way he minds his own business, and his clever use of every advantage he possesses. The beaver is known for his loyalty to his colony, which is something we at R.H.S. also pride ourselves in. Besides, he reminded us of our log cutting, dam-building ancestors right here in our end of the valley. So we discovered Reedy has really always been here, everywhere and in everything of our school. He usually appears as the school spirit, the idea behind Loyalty. Reedy is both honor student and average student; he is on the faculty and in the office. He is even represented on the school board. As a student he misses none of the extra activities. Music, clubs, sports, newspaper, and Gleaner- all have Reedy working with and for them in some manner. He is present at all of the parties and dances; at football and basketball games he really shows his stuff, cheering the team on to victory. Perhaps with Reedy more tangible as pictured throughout this Annual, we will more readily find and aopreciate our school spirit.

REEDY THE BEAVER

oviteut Reedy, the Beaver, made his debut at Reedsburg High School last fall. His first acquaintances were the various members of the FACULTY, followed by the STUDENT BODY. Reedy expressed his loyal support of ACTIVITIES by appearing in person at all of them. Being the versatile type, Reedy also participated in ATHLETICS and the even harder task of leading cheers to keep school spirit high. Reedsburg’s SCHOOL LIFE is fun and so well rounded out that Reedy had no trouble in finding this place.
