Most students had not yet thought of toting that mountainous stack of books for another nine months, and their mothers had not yet enrolled in the course on How to Get Iunior to School on Time in Ten Easy Les- sons. But not so the sports-minded, for on this fatal date Coach Nitchkey issued the call for football players. The following week, the fellows who have since distinguished themselves on the field and on the bench, lined up for scrimmage. On the sidelines, the gridmen of 1930 and 1960 inter- rupted their recollections and expectations to shout words of advice or admonition. Red Lion is truly sports-minded. All year 'round the local fans follow our athletic activities with great enthusiasm. An unexpected victory, the arrival of new equipment, a conference title, a spectacular play-all are sources of joy to the entire town. The people take pride in the teams' records victorie of good sportsmanship as well as the s they chalk up for the Gold and Black.
