And now for the big boys, the varsity. They also got off to a flying start, being victorious over New Oxford, Dallastown, cmd Manchester. After the Spring Grove five handed them their first set- back, they rolled up wins over New Oxford and Dover. Next they lost to Wrightsville, whipped Dallastown, and were upset by West York. Then came a four-game winning streak over North York, Manchester, Spring Grove, and Dover. The Wrightsville and West York games found Red Lion on the short end of the score, but the final game was a thrilling overtime contest in which the Red Lion cagers played an exciting extra period to come out on top and take fourth place in league standings. And then there are the things that are rarely told . . . the time Mr. Yost took a nap after school and barely got to the game in time . . . when Lion-D Donald Norris got so excited in the Red allastown game that he forgot to count Stine's basket and caused quite a bit of confusion . . . when junior high manager Flinchbaugh put out an extra ball and the team had to go back to Mt. W lined Whole 1 p during practice and Neff dribbled the way to the other basket when Hart man finally succeeded in making one of those last-m during :.nute shots from the other side of the floor olf after it . . . when the fellows were all 1 . . . , the Spring Grove game . . . when sick- r ness p evented R. Norris from playing in the last game and stretching his 99 points to the cen- tury mark. All three teams had their ups and downs. but statistilcs show that all came out with at least twice points as many victories as defeats, and in total all outscored their opponents.

Cheers lor Bed Lion Visible and audible at every game, either foot- ball or basketball, were the leaders of our riot- ous cheering sections. In rain or shine, victory or defeat, these girls maintained the morale of the crowd as well as the team with their Are you ready? Let's go! Where did these pepper-uppers originate? Well, all over town in the early fall there were literally dozens of the younger generation shout- ing at the top of their lungs and gesticulating madly. The little girls spent lots of time imitating the cheerleaders in hopes that they would some day win a position on one of the teams. Shortly after school opened, one could see a group of girls who walked stiftly around school as if they were afraid of breaking. This is the usual hign that they have been trying out for cheerleading. The advanced cheerleaders helped to train the girls who went out for cheerleading, and m:.nor casualties have been known to occur as the doing room, Team eager trainees practice. One aspirant, her cheerleading homework in her living in a jump at the end of the cheer Fight Fight, hit the chandelier. After the colli- sion, one ot the lights resembled a jig-saw puzzle and three stitches were needed in the girl's finger. Of course, the teams provided the real interest at a game, but the panorama of flying arms and legs, whirling skirts, and the glimpses of gold and black as the cheerleaders dashed by, all added to the color and the gaiety of the game.
