From seventh grade up to the freshmen included, ls the J R group which cannot be eluded. In the junior high school the freshmen are the pacesetters. They are usually the largest class in the school and this year is no exception to the rule as the class numbers 178 in members and ranks first in size. Many of this class seem bewildered and lost the first few days of school, because for some of them this is their first expe- rience in school other than a one-room school house. However, this situation soon wears off and the freshmen can find their way to classes and activities by pushing and dodging many of the obstacles in their way. Speaking in round numbers, approximately sixty per cent of the freshmen have come from the thirteen outlying districts which send stu- dents to Red Lion High, and the other forty per cent reside in the borough of Red Lion. Chance- ford Township has the largest representation with East Hopewell, North Hopewell, Windsor, York, and Lower Windsor Townships not too far behind. The freshmen are rather equally divided in the various courses offered here at Red Lion.

Nevertheless, many are taking the college preparatory course to be on the safe side. A relatively large number of the boys are follow- ing the industrial course because they are in- clined to work with their hands. The commercial course also has a fair sized number of students in its scope because there are always girls and boys who wish to be secretaries or bookkeepers for business firms. The seventh and eighth graders are seldom heard about. Usually they are timid little people who are very studious in their scholastic en- deavors and moderately active in their not-so- wide sphere of extra-curricular affairs. Residing for the most part in the building across the street they are known to the upperclassmen mainly through reports of their assembly programs and scholastic averages. As subject matter goes, they have required subjects which must be carried. Nearly all of the seventh and eighth graders live in Red Lion. However, there are several districts which, for one reason or another, have several students in our school on top of the hill. An interesting gang is this our junior high. Although small in stature and not too conspicu- ous in school affairs as yet, nevertheless to date their interests have been responsible for the or- ganization of three new clubs-stamp, magician, and junior high dramatic club. The junior high glee club and junior band are almost wholly made up from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Nor must we forget those future foot- ball heroes who diligently showed up for prac- tices every night last fall, and that plucky junior high basketball team. There's a real future ahead for these youngsters.
