This year Jerry Ehrig, Charles Brandhorst, and Ralph Schlicht joined us. Once again time had flown quickly and we were ready to enter our Junior year after three short months of vacation.

We were all quite excited and thrilled at the idea of ordering our clam rings. After many months of patient waiting, our rings arrived in the spring. It seems many of them met the usual treatment by appearing soon on the fingers of other schoolmates. The F. F. A. boys entertained the whole high school at a semi-formal fall dance which was very well attended and quite different from most of our parties Later this same year the F. H. A. girls returned the favor by sponsoring a Hjean-partyn at which everyone wpre jeans or suffered the consequences. The class play we produced under the direction of Mr. Grace was nhobgobl n Housen and centered around a kidnapping. Everyone in our class helped whether it was on the scenery building proposition or doing the actual acting. This project helped boost our treasury for the big main event of the year with tm banquet and promz The KXEL Broadcasting station from Waterloo made a tape recording of someof our outstanding people, our music groups like the girls' sextette and Dgijp, Arlene Sc ildroth's commercial advertising the aspects of Reinbec won e g rlsv prize. 3R,,,,-Q,,,,,, , Aiowt We were sectional tournament hosts to all the surrounding schools. For four nights we made good money on the refreshments. This was the year that we won the Northeast Iowa Cedar League Football chanh pionship by having an undefeated team. The Legion sponsored a banquet in honor of the fellows and their coaches. The basketball team was just as good. We remained undefeated until Dike beat us at the County tournament in Grundy Center when we were beat in the first game by one point. The fellows went on with their march of victories on through to the sub-state. The very last game of this tournament was when we suffered our second defeat by losing to Waverly. If we could have overcome the l6 point lead Waverly had, we would have been state tournament material. Reinbeck was host to a speech contest this year,the first one we had partic- ipated in for years. Some of our class members took part in it. The small groups Preliminary Music Contest was held in our community and at our churches and school. About SOO people were here. Reinbeck's ratings were unusually high as we received seven firsts. The Girls' Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus went to the contest at LaPorte City where the girls received a II and the Chorus a III rating. The Annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held on May 7 at the Masonic Hall. Our theme was NMoonlight and Rosesn. After many careful weeks of preparation with making crepe paper roses and dying cheese cloth blue, the big event finally gappened. One hundred eight faculty members, seniors, and juniors attended the :BO dinner. May 18 was the evening we held the big prom in the gymnasium. Vic Miller and his orchestra played for this formal dance. The Baccalaureate Services were held on a Sunday evening at the schoolhouse with both the Juniors and Seniors participating. The girls' formals added arnte of color to the huge throng of people. The band under the direction of Mr. Bowman attended the Waterloo Band Jubilee and the Cedar Rapids Band Festival. This was the year Reinbeck's candi- date, Elizabeth Snyder, was crowned queen. It had rained all day, and that eve- ning, too. But every one was still so excited that when the band got back to
