Another responsibility hich rests upon their shoulders is setting the te of the school tax. Once every month the members of the board imb the hill to decide just how much should be ent for this and how much tor that.

Characteristic of every up-to-date board, this one has an eye on the future. Plans for the re- modeling of the school have been formulated and after looking them over, we feel very sorry that we won't be students in the Red Lion High ot tomorrow.

Chapter II OUR MENTORS IN THE FRONT ot each room there reigns a teacher, seated majestically be hind a light brown desk. This capable overseer of the schoolroom was no placed here to dictate questions to us, but to guide and instruct us. To this eno the teachers of Red Lion High have racked their brains in many institutions o learning, cramming knowledge into their heads in order to cram some into ours. ln the end success came to them as one can see by the cherished letter: behind their names. Red Lion High is proud to have such a well-trained lac ulty and administration. Do you remember those days you didn't quite get all your lessons finishe because of that movie you just had to see or the ice that maybe wouldn't b hard tomorrow? How could any teacher keep from being provoked? We nom realize that the trials and tribulations suffered by our mentors must have beer great, although at times we wondered how any one could have as many troubles as We. Their patience and helpfulness have pushed us through man tight spots. Not to any one ot them do we give the credit for our educatioli but to all. The members ot the school board, those capable men who handle th money, pay the bills, and choose the teachers, are also a group of which to b proud. Prominent in their own fields of industry and in civic life, they shar their time and energy toward making the Red Lion school system one of goo repute throughout the state. They, the teachers and administrators of Red Lion High, have worked to- gether like a team, and teams that cooperate like this one cannot tail in theil jobs. We'll never forget the important part these people have played in oui school lite. To them We give a whole-hearted tribute of well-deserved thanks
