The Gleaner Presents R. H. S. Traditions - Book I, Loyalty FOREWORD ... Loyalty is a tradition not only of Reeds- burg High School, but a tradition of the class of ’55. We, as Seniors, have chosen- Loyalty as the theme of our Gleaner because we feel that Loyalty is the foundation upon which our school is built. During World War I loyalty to our nation was stressed continually. Through the years that followed new phases of loyalty were taking form. In addition to loyalty to our country, loyalty to our school, our families, our church, our community, and most of all to ourselves, was emphasized. This tradition has been present in R. H. S. for thirty-seven years and will continue through future years. The essence of Loyalty is to develop school spirit by encouraging activity participation, scholarship, and citizenship. The Loyalty program also promotes class competition, as well as developing in the student the ability to work with others. We, as seniors, will soon be entering a new world. We will not enter as mere grad- uates of Reedsburg High but as well-rounded individuals ready to accept the challenges of a rising generation and meet responsibilities as loyal American citizens.
