year course in 1931. New as a four year high school, it was growing and would soon need more room, The first four year graduating class which greiweted in 1952 consisted of twelve members. The faculty consisted of two members until 1930 when an- other teacher was added, and the rooms were remodeled. The faculty has incredsed irem time tc time, and it is now com- posed of ten member: Now the school had been growin, and the little red school- house was becoming crowded. So in 1954 a new gymnasium was erected to the north of the old schoolhouse. But this was not all that happened. The sale Darn was purchased in 1954 and turned into the present HA5 Ldrnn. The school was new more comfortable, but it was growing rapidly. In 1958 a Q50,000 addition was added to the gymna- sium to take care of the overflow of students. Several new courses were also offered. Early in 1940 the neighboring non-high districts petitionm into the high school district. The new district supporting the present high school has an assessed valuation of over Q4,700,00 making this a very well established school. When the fall of 1940 came around, there were many, many new faces. The enrollment of 222 is the largest in the history of Reynolds. Twenty-five courses are now offered to the studen and plans are being made to offer more next year. We hope the school continues to grow and prosper in the years to come. --The Editors
