Probably the main factor in bringing about this idea was the return of servicemen. Surprising as it may be, nearly all the boys on furlough managed to get up the hill for a friendly visit. It seemed they just liked to look around and return for a little while to the scene of their own high school days. Then we began wondering why, after seeing the world with its many at- tractions, they still remembered their alma mater. Without much probing sev- eral good reasons were brought to light. Here these alumni laid foundations in character and vocations which will affect their entire lives. Here they learned to get along with people. Here some of the greatest friendships they'l1 ever find were made. Our school does play a great part in our lives. It will always be dear to us. The little everyday happenings perhaps more than the big exciting times make us feel that way toward it. We never want to forget them. Our sentiments for our own R. L. H. S. can best be expressed by a song familiar to all of us-our own Alma Mater. Oh, Alma Mater, great and grand, renowned from rea to rea, lVhere'er thy daughterr and Joni .rhall Jtand, they'll e'er he true lo thee. The fight of thy majextic hallf, with 171011091 ooerftrewn, The fondert nzeinorier recall, that we have ever known.

Chapter I ON LOCATION ANYTHING IN LIFE that takes up six hours out of every day, five days out of every seven, and thirty-six weeks out of every fifty-two and a half, woul naturally have quite an influence on the ones so affected. However, sinc education and extra curricular activities are so well blended, the time spen in R. L. H. S. is anything but wasted to its students. Within these walls students come and go, sharing problems, exchangin jokes land sometimes papersl, laughing, talking, studying, learning, an cheerfully going to classrooms. Every six weeks there are anxious faces o students awaiting report cards, and then some illuminated, some dejectecl countenances of the recipients as they face the awful truth. However, by no means is our time spent in classes alone. Assemblies, gui- dance, plays, musical organizations, sports, art, the school paper, library- these consume much of our activity time. Lunch in the cafeteria, strolls in the park, mushball, basketball, feeding the numberless squirrels, chats with an classmate, an occasional game of shuflleboard or checkers in Room 7, and trips to the Lamp Post exhaust the major part of the noon interlude. Pupils look forward to certain occasions-Municipal Building assemblies, school movies, dramatic and musical productions, holiday dances, Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas vacations, April FOol's Day, the prom, class day, bacca- laureate, and commencement. Having one's abilities and energy turned into the right channels, learning to live, play, and work cooperatively with others, obtaining resourcefulness, self-reliance, and the try-again spirit so necessary for success, form the build- ing blocks for a successful and well-rounded life. Here, in this institution, we receive a foundation for participation in the life and activities of the school to- come-the school of society. 6 TUWN v Q J 5 N, x -.ity ,....:. A -f-tffiihs. A Miss GabIe's ofhce view of the town of Red Lion. Without a doubt the town harboring Red Lion High School isn't the largest in Pennsylvania, nor does it surpass all other towns of York County in modernity. In the eyes of the students attending the educative institutions furnished by the community, everything-the people, the building, the town-can be summed up as being swell. Red Lion, consisting of four churches seated complacently upon four hills, a railroad depot, two banks, a post-office, an occasional drug or cigar store, tea rooms, restaurants, factories, ga- rages, a theatre, a municipal building, barber shops, dairies, feed stores, grocery stores, ice plants, stock yards, clothing stores, hardware shops, furniture dealers, a fire-engine house, doctors', dentists' and lawyers' offices, funeral homes, private homes, two grade schools, and a high school, is proud of the variety within its boundaries. In addition, for recreational pur- poses, a Youth Center has been organized where boys and girls of the community enjoy dancing, ping-pong, darts, and other games. Needless to say, with such a fine recreational building for leisure moments and with the extra curricular activities afforded by the school, juvenile delin- quents are few and far between in Red Lion. Our town has quite a well-developed indus- trial system. It is noted chiefly for its production of radio cabinets, and an immense producing plant is located here. Originally built around the cigar manufacturing industry, the town still has numerous factories of that nature furnishing large outputs. Cigar-box factories are also prev- alent. In these factories and the retail businesses thousands of people from the town and the out- lying communities work. As an added feature a beautiful park, situated opposite the school grounds, adorns the land- scape with an inviting coolness that few of the students can fail to resist during the noon hours of the warm spring and summer days. Here the maples, the pines, the oaks, and their tenants, the squirrels, make life interesting and form ob- jects for keen observation. In summer the park is used as a recreation ground for the children. Picnickers also enjoy its cool shade and take advantage of the tables to enjoy summer outings. Red Lion is typical of many other towns in the vicinity. Located in the center of the Pennsyl- vania Dutch district, its people show the cleanli- ness and thriftiness commonly associated with it. A clean, healthy environment is furnished for the school and taken advantage of by its students. 7 Uncommonly empty, the park across the street seems to be quietly waiting for the noise and activity that announces spring. One of the many gray squirrels who visit our campus prepares for the winter with the aid of an anonymous friend. Another shot of our town, this time, the East End. Unfortunately no picture can show the many features which make Red Lion such a pleasant home. Business as usual in the center of our modest hamlet. None ot the industries are shown, but some of the shops and stores put in their appearance. R. L. H. S. l 'Ns This is it! Our week-day address in a formal pose makes a very nice appearance. A modern impressive building and a well-kept wn with beautiful evergreen trees give an at- active exterior appearance to our school. In inter the snow-crowned shrubs, spelling out in eir shapes R. L. H. S., and a picturesque view the grounds, and in summer the blooming li- cs and roses fill the atmosphere with a sweet roma.

As one enters the high chool building by the upper door, more com- only dubbed the girls' door, he passes under is motto. Inside, on the upper floor, the first lace of interest one sees is the gym-the cene of many happy hours. Groans, moans, and ther outbursts of agony involuntarily ensue the reath-taking gymnastics which are bound to uild us up or break us down. Beside the gym another large room, the auditorium. Monday all the Frankies and Dinahs come to tune their vocal chords to prepare to sing various occasions. For the next three days of week, noises and music from all kinds of in- saturate the surrounding rooms and Then, on Fridays, assemblies invade the lust a short distance around the cor- from here is the office, the hub of the school. the year most of us for many different become well acquainted with this busy nook. Turn another corner and there is the library, the favorite room for many of us. If one cares to enter into a small room adjoining the library he will find the Hyson room. Two small offices leading off from it are the haunts of our dean of girls and our librarian. On the lower floor is found the paradise of many of the boys-the shop. Many hours are spent here soldering, hammering, sawing-mak- ing anything from ash trays to bookcases. From the home economics room comes many delicious odors of mellow cream-puffs and other delightful goodies which the future homemakers around Red Lion cook up. Also from its portals come females dressed in the latest fashions created by themselves. Another room which is responsible for many of the odors around the school is the chemistry lab. However, these odors are not quite so tantalizing. The hot spot of the school is the boiler room. From here the heat is piped to every little corner of the school to warm our shivering bodies after those cold morning walks. Of course there are many classrooms-eighteen in fact. They consist of desks, telephone, black- boards, chalk dust, and all the other constituents of a normal schoolroom. The major part of our time is spent within their walls. Going down the hall past the office, one leaves through the boys' door. Inscribed above this door is the motto, Leave to Serve -one which every graduate keeps in mind after he leaves high school. 9 At ease, commands x'Coach, and the seniors act accordingl This scene is re-enacted fre quently in the gym as each clas gets its physical workout. Mr. Knisely, our janitor, doe some electrical repair work whil student worker Waltemeyer give support. Miss Perry conducts a study hal in Sb. This place also serves a music room and dance ban practice ground. Senior high has its bi-weekl assembly, LIBRARY As usual the library is full of busy students and here a teacher is consulting Mrs. Shermeyer. The most modern part of the building and the pride of us students is the library. Delving among its wide selection of books we sail the seven seas in a well-armed Spanish galleon, look down upon the small world below us from a jet job, traverse the sands of Africa while seated between the humps of a camel, gallop over the western plains on a fiery steed, skate over the ice and snow of the northern lands, and bask on a tropical island surrounded by brown skinned natives. Due to the wise and careful selection of literature by our capable librarian. Mrs. Hilda Shermeyer, we find ourselves lost in a world of wonderland as we browse through these afforded classics. Every period of the day and after school the library is occupied by students who wish to in- crease the amount of knowledge in their heads or by those who wish to pass some time away after they have their homework completed. Looking through the many books, we find that there are some pertaining to almost any subject. To choose the best from all these is a difficult task. So, to aid us to make wise selections, book lists are published and new lists are sent to every member of the faculty in order that they might acquaint us with the new material. In addition to the six thousand volumes already neatly shelved, approximately three hundred new ones are on the purchasing list. These new books are added to the library by using the in- terest from a fund left by Dr. I. M. Hyson to the school for the library. Besides books we are af- forded the privilege of reading fifty-six different magazines, two daily newspapers, and two Sun- day newspapers. A wealth of information and entertainment is to be found between the covers of the volumes. We seek knowledge and enjoyment in the rows of shelves filled and overflowing with words. Since reading is made so attractive to us there is small wonder that we make so much of this golden opportunity. As long as Red Lion High has had a library ll it has had student librarians, but this is the first year that they have ever organized into a li- brary club. These girls realize that in order to keep the ball rolling organization is necessary. Any girl from grades seven to eleven may become a librarian. Our well stocked libraries have lured approximately fifty girls Within their doors to perform the many duties which are nec- essary to keep the libraries running smoothly. Because the high school library is much larger than the grade library more girls are needed to keep it in order. Every part of the library science is taught to them. They have proved that they have learned their job well by keeping the li- brary in perfect order even in the absence of the school librarian. At the beginning of the year a schedule is planned on which the periods each girl works are designated. Not all of their free time, how- 12 ever, is taken up by library work for the neeo for some time to study is recognized. After all the books are marked and all the cards in order these girls, who have been stamp' ing volumes of bound knowledge all month, si' back and relax at their monthly meetings. Wherr the short business session is over, games, dance ing, and refreshments are a welcome change from the normal routine of school life. Library work oftentimes proves to be very valuable in later life. A knowledge of books an their arrangement in libraries is something tha will be needed many times throughout one's life as she continues to educate herself. Libraries ar our chief source to gain information. Some girl continue studying in this field to make it thei occupation. A student body which uses the library a much as we do, realize just how importan librarians are. LIBRARY ASSISTANTS -- FRONT: F. Elsesser, G. Holtzinger, F. Nelt, B. A. Snyder, D. Paules, D.

A Hard-working assistants take time to hold a Christmas party of their own in the nicely decorated library. The shrill shriek of a siren, the clanging of a mad scramble through the halls, a tu- of commotion--a three-alarm fire? No, more commonplace than the hullaballoo results from noon dismissal and the rush for place far up in the cafeteria chow line. Any early arrival who is quite a distance in the line naturally obtains many friends is obliged to give them a place in front of These friends recognize other friends and nw., the heretofore fortunate one finds himself oving in the opposite direction from which he ad originally intended. Once inside the build- g, however, the uproar simmers down to the eflection of incidents of the morning. An attractively planned menu greets the diner t the doorway. From here, he progresses along e line to the cashier, choosing his platter, soup, andwiches, salads, etc., as he goes.

BOTTOM: Two grade school girls search for a table. of students who wish to work in the cafeteria perform various jobs such as carrying and wip- ing trays, washing silverware or dishes, filling platters, making sandwiches, and helping in every way to make the service more efficient. In exchange for their duties these students receive their lunches free of charge. Small wonder that the cafeteria does such a thriving business for as soon as profit is made servings are increased. The varied and well- planned menus, the clean, careful preparation of the food and the attractive serving of it show evidences of the pride taken in the culinary arts by the Pennsylvania Dutch housewives. To all these assets add extremely low prices for pur- chasing a meal, and one finds the reason why most out-of-town students take advantage of this opportunity. 13 GRADES LEFT: Mr. Bair, custodian ot the grade school building, performs one ot his many duties. RIGHT: Viewed from the school roof, the old building discharges a group ot its occupants. In preparation for the enjoyment ot high school there is a period of our lives spent in lower in- stitutions ot learning.

Correct reading habits earned here prepare them tor the use of the main li- brary. Student librarians are in evidence. Miss Gable, the grade school principal, has been an integral member ot our public school system for many years. Many talents are discovered which lead up to activities, in later years, along the same line. Traces of some of the compositions of our Hill- top and Lion staffs could probably be found in that noted journal, The Spyglass, a prod- uct of this period. Musical talents are discovered and put to use in the grade school choir and in learning to play musical instruments. In senior high we find evidences of these once amateurs in the glee club, band, and other organizations. 15 Where er thy daflghterf and mm 1176111 Jtafzd, tbey'll e'er be true la tbee . . . . . . 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 ADMINISTRATIUN members of the Red Lion Board of Education-David Fink, treasurer: Earl Hartman, secretary: Edgar Moore, secretary the boardg Dan B.

The duty of choosing capable teachers falls a group of gentlemen known as the Board of ucation. But this is only one ot the many du- s which they perform. To these men is also Ven the job ot seeing that all of us have all e pencils and paper we need to take the exams d do the daily homework which takes up such great part of our time. 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. Balancing ch a large budget is no easy task as many ter twenty-two years of faithful and progressive rvice, eleven of which he served as president, r. T. E. Brooks, one of our town's most distin- ished and honored citizens, resigned from the hool board in lanuary. He will long be remem- red for his outstanding leadership and guidance to the youth of our community. of us can understand, after thinking about the troubles we have balancing our own, which are just a drop in the bucket compared to the school budget. 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. Probably the most outstanding changes and ones oi interest to most oi the stu- dents will be a new auditorium and a new gym. The headquarters ot our whole school system, the center of authority, the spot Where all our 'f-47' 17 troubles little or big are taken, the home of the files and the records, the bureau of investigation serving the whole school, the money-changers, the post office, and last but not least the station of our chieftain and his helpers-yes, if you have not guessed by this time, these words describe our school office. lust another room, you say, 'neat-looking and businesslike, but Why take a page to de- scribe it?

Miss Farlling, girls' guidanc He who heads all-Mr. Kulp, supervising prin- cipal of Red Lion schools-finds much to keep him busy. During the day he acts as a willing listener to all the students' troubles. Not only does he have to hear students' complaints but also the teachers'. Much of his time is taken by speaking in assemblies, visiting various rooms in the school. Dan B. Kulp came to us two years ago from Williamsburg, where, as supervising principal, he had been instrumental in organiz- ing the consolidated school set-up. Q' -Q HARVEY I. Brcxr-:R former high school principal Harvey I. Becker, our former high school prin- ipal, started his nineteenth year with us but left n October to Work as head chemist at the Amer- can Wire Fabric Company in Mount Wolf. Dur- ng his term of service in Red Lion he served as oys' guidance' counselor, yearbook advisor, and hemistry teacher. A native York Countian, he as active in many civic and educational affairs. is presence in R. L. H. S. is greatly missed by tudents and returning alumni, although he still ontinues his activities regarding those in service. Taking Mr. Becker's place, Mr. Edgar C. Moore as now assumed all the responsibilities as prin- ipal. Among his duties are checking daily at- endance reports, supervising assemblies, and uidance counselor. He also takes care of ath- etics and can be seen on the football field sell- ng tickets. Before being appointed to his present osition, Mr. Moore taught consumers' and shop ath and algebra. He is secretary for the Board DAN B. KULP the supervising principal of Education. Then in early spring he contacts all rural districts which send students here, and keeps tuition accounts straight. Both Mr. Kulp and Mr. Moore are responsible for buildings and seeing that all supplies for the school are on hand when needed. Theirs is the task of satisfying school board and state in the matter of standards, cafeteria, and activities. The responsibilities which fall to the principals of a high school are great, but, with much patience, they seem to complete all work which confronts them daily. EDGAR C.

Coming from coal-mining districts, Pennsylvania Dutch homes, the moun- tains, and only heaven knows where all, our mentors have combined all their good qualities and organized into an up-and-doing branch of the York County Teachers' Association. Mr. Myers, the man who knows all about large charges, is president of the association. Every month, rain or shine, the faculty has a social. Buffet suppers, banquets, and just jolly good times consume the evenings when our dig- nified teachers get together. According to one of their number, they sometimes play dumb little games. We thought that We students were the only ones guilty of that. Under the supervision of the artistic member of the faculty. Miss Wilgus, some of the teachers try their hand at making pins, plaques, and other little novelties. Miss Perry has also formed a sewing group. Those in this group find it quite simple to get their mending done. The first Monday of the month is the time fo teachers' meeting. We students are also awar of it because that day at 2:45 instead of 3:3 we leave the portals of our school. The members of the faculty are as busy as bees. Correcting the tests over which we labori- ously slave is a task we do not covet. Chaperon- ing our parties, acting as ticket sellers, advising our school paper and yearbook, keeping ac counts of our class funds, supervising our school plays, and countless other things take up o great part of their time.

It is very unusual for a high school of our size to have as many masters degrees alter the names ol its faculty as we do. It we don't learn, it isn't because our teachers don't have the brains, but it could be that we are not as ambitious as they. Day in and day out of the school year the faculty are always ready to help us. We have always been aware ol the aid they gave us in our daily work. But now that we are ready to leave school and try our fortune, we realize how much they have helped us get ready for this. . ts. 5 t 1 L .

Chapter III BRAIN PLUS BRAWN WITHIN THE WALLS of Red Lion High there lies a gym, a barren spot whe empty, but a place of gaiety and directed activity when filled with live energetic gymnasts. Yells and shrieks, moans and groans-all contribute i forming the atmosphere which characterizes this wide space. Here our muscles learn that there is a condition known as stiffness. By wa of stimulating exercises, thrilling games, and exciting races, our physical bo ies get their first taste of the building-up program put on by our school. boys who participate in football, basketball, baseball, and track really fin out that gym periods are.literally a taste in physical Workouts, for they spen many hours conditioning their bodies in order to compete with other school But, as any athlete will tell you, it takes more than muscles to put out wi ning teams. A fast-Working brain must match fast-Working feet. A ball in t hands is one thing, but a ball in the hands of a quick-thinking racing halfba may mean a score. Every so often the varsity teams have a session in Room instead of the field or gym floor. The mental gymnastics prove invaluable i the game coming up. Room 7 is also the scene of the periodic health classes in which We lea what it is that makes us tick and the meaning of those long words the doct uses when diagnosing our case as nothing but a slight cold. A healthy bo is an important factor in helping us to enjoy life to its fullest capacity. So you see our alma mater stresses not only the brain and its stimulatio but the brawn and its development.

With six varsity lettermen providing the nu- leus of the team, the l945 Lions prepared to dig heir cleats into a tough nine-game schedule. week before school opened Coach Hangen rilled the squad twice a day on the fundamen- als of the newly accepted T formation. The eam rapidly grasped the new system and soon he first eleven was ready to start the season. Opening at home against York Catholic the ions, showing a dazzling passing attack, tri- mphed easily. Fink tossed two touchdown aeri- ls to Iohnson while Smith accounted for another o the sarne receiver. Rexroth, with two beauti- runs, furnished the other two scores. On the following Saturday the team journeyed Lemoyne and brought home two firsts-the conference victory and the first win over opponent since the beginning of the series. last year's most valuable player, two scoring passes. Smith pulled in the thrown by Fitzkee who later scored Next came a most important game and unfor- a disastrous one. Meeting a very strong eleven on their field, under a blazing sun, Red Lion lads played their best which was not quite good enough. This time, passes were instrumental in the Lion's defeat. Bouncing back from the week before, the team trounced York High Reserves on the home field. Inners scored first on a sixty-yard dash, Fitzkee repeating soon after on a pass from Fink. Bless- ing did the honors for the next two trips onto pay-dirt, receiving a pair of aerials from Smith. Almost continual rain cut down the Alumni Day crowd. Playing another game at home the Lions scored almost at will as they beat Elizabethtown. Scores came in the first, second, and fourth pe- riods and were made by Inners f2l, Fitzkee 125, and Smith. A large Booster Day crowd, along with cr fine band presentation, added pep and color to the game. On the third successive home date the Lions tangled with Biglerville in what seems to be the jinx game of each year. Once again, no decision was reached as the two strong teams battled to another scoreless deadlock. The game ended with Red Lion boys on their opponent's seven- yard line. A large Homecoming Day crowd wit- nessed the affair. Once more hitting its stride the team con- quered Ephrata in a night tussle on the enemy field. A blocked punt set up Ephrata's lone score 27 very early in the first period. Showing great comeback ability the Gold and Black fought on even terms throughout the rest of the half. Late in the third quarter, Fitzkee went over and added the extra point to create a tie which continued until. with four minutes to play, Red Lion gained possession on Ephrata's thirty-three. Three plays and two first downs later Fitzkee threw the win- ning touchdown pass to Blessing. Once more a fumble gave the opposition a quick score on the Manheim Township gridiron. A scoring duel began at this point ending with a victory for the Lions. Touchdowns were cred- ited to Inners, Fitzkee, Pedlow, and Blessing. The large following of Gold and Black fans was typical ot the line support given to the team throughout the season. In the final contest of the season the Lions toppled rival West York. Iohnson, returning t the game for the first time since his jaw fracture netted two touchdowns. Smith provided a rea thrill when he raced sixty-four yards for his tally Inners' turn came next with a nineteen-yar jaunt through the defense and over the doubl line. All conversion attempts were successful i this one-sided tilt. The result of the team's vot tor captain was announced just before the game this honor going to Fred Inners. R. L.

With only one varsity member returning, Coach had a job in turning out a smooth- working outfit for the first game. Opening at home, the Lions dropped a really tough one to Spring Grove. On the large West York floor the hoopsters played improved ball during the first 'wo-an-qvqww un-vw fw '- half but lost the touch in the final periods. A home the next week opposing North York, tht Lions just couldn't get started, so proceeded on ward in their losing style. Traveling over tha hill to meet Dallastown, the varsity five began tc show signs of good ball, although dropping o low-scoring, hard fought battle.

Inners, Fitzkee, Grove, Fink, and Spangler, the start- ing five, get the range on that elusive net. at half-time, both contests were sacrificed in the last two quarters. Beginning the second half of the season at West York, the boys lost another in the final frames. Recovering from these seven setbacks, the cagers smashed Spring Grove on the loser's floor. With a victory under their belts the boys visited North York. Unfortunately, even a last- minute rally was not enough to overcome the host's early lead. Surprising everyone, including Dallastown, Coach Nitchkey's lads came through with a sparkling win over their battled neigh- bors. Although going uphill all the way, the Hill- toppers carried on with the best they had in los- ing to York Catholic away from home. Finishing the league schedule at Wrightsville, our boys wrecked the Rivertowners' hopes of a conference playoff by defeating them. The Iay-Vees completed a four-game card with only one loss. This squad should provide a future varsity with some real ball handlers. Red Lion's junior high team really went places this year. Finishing second in the league with ten wins and four loses, it chalked up one of the best records ever made by an outfit of 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. The first five, all freshmen, im- proved with every game and exhibited a fast offense and tight defense which baffled many an opponent. Coach Hangen drilled his squad in the evenings, when the varsity was finished, mainly on fundamentals of passing, shooting, and dribbling, preparing the boys for varsity competition. The fourteen games provided actual playing experience which will be valuable for future senior high teams. JUNIOR HIGH-FRONT: Coach Hangen, D. Reynolds, P. Frey, G. Wise, B. Barshinger, W. Helm, D.

Fitzkee crosses home plate, Grim rounds third, Smith, second, and Blessing passes first. Opponent A's third baseman makes a lunge as the ball streaks past but picks up in its stead a handful of turf. Opponent A's left fielder is caught un- aware by this error and by the time he retrieves the ball three runners have crossed the plate and Blessing streaks for home. A long throw to catcher from outfield proves useless as Blessing slides, touching the plate safely for a home run. The ball game's over and Red Lion leads by a score of seven to six. Exciting isn't it? This just illustrates one of those tight spots in baseball when a reliable man is needed to win the game. With the crack of the bat baseball begins. In early spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love . . . love of baseball. Spring fever or no spring fever, when warm weather comes, that yearning to fondle the bat in his hands and that feeling of masterfulness as one makes the first hit, is something that has quite an influence on our boys' minds. However, hit- ting and catching a ball are not the only things necessary to learn in order to be able to play good baseball. A keen intelligence and quick thinking in a dangerous situation have saved the victory for many a team. How is good play- ing ability obtained? Good playing ability can be obtained only by constant practice and hours FRONT: H. Snyder, D. Blessing, W. Gladfelter, D. Flinchbaugh, E. Shaeffer. SECOND: R. Fitzkee, W. Shaffer, K. Gilbert, D.

When February rolled around and March urned the corner those daily after-school ses- Lions in Coach Nitchkey's and Coach Hangen's 'ooms began. Here all boys interested in base- all were taught the fundamentals of it and the recise duties of each man on the team. Then ryouts were held and the team was selected by he coaches. The rest of the tryouts were held n reserve as substitute players and relief men. Then countless hours of practice began and he boys found out that only practice makes Derfect. Finally the time came for the first game. Ex- itement prevailed among the team and the stu- ents. This first game proved to be a hard fought ne but using all their resourcefulness and base- all skill the Lions defeated their opponent, len Rock, with a three to one score. Rallied n by the support of the student body the next pponent, Codorus Township, suffered the score f five to one. Time went on and the Lions tri- mphed once more with a thirteen to five score ver New Freedom. These being the only teams n this league the nine again defeated Glen Rock, eleven to three, Codorus, one to nothing, and New Freedom, nine to nothing. Champions .n the league, suffering no defeats, our newly formed baseball club jubilantly looked forward to even better games with more equal opponents. Then came the day, that fateful day of the play-off between North York and Red Lion for the county championship. Cheered on by their previous record and spirit back of them the players journeyed to the field at North York, fol- lowed by excited students, excited over the fact of their two o'clock dismissal, but more excited over what the outcome of the game would be. What's twice shall be thrice and even seven times as was proved in this game as their cap- tain, Fitzkee, a superb pitcher rallied his boys on to victory and the championship rating of the county. Excitement, celebration, and the long saved up enthusiasm now reigned on the field. Ah, that was a glorious moment! Even now the team is practicing earnestly to uphold its previous record and to insure its place as head of the county's list. The team earnestly hopes that this honor will never leave R. L. H. S. Surely no more friendly yet cooperative team could be found in any of our school sports and the joy and pleasure that the boys find in play- ing plus the unlimited backing of the students should cheer these boys on to better cooperation and the task of holding the championship. They are anxiously awaiting the beginning of a new season of their beloved sport and the students await their predicted victories. 33 CHEERLEADERS Our junior high cheerleaders, the Little Lions: B. Curran, I. Daugh- erty, D. Fake, P. Pettit, I. Mayes. The tirst squad arouses pep at all major athletic events: L. Richard- son, D. Smith, B. Knisely, B. Young, N. Shoemaker, M. Hoover. When the Big Lions tire, the sec- ond squad takes over the cheer- ing: R. Kurtz, D. Snyder, I. May, I. Gohn, L. Paulhamus, A. Wallick. The peppiest ot the peppiest of the girls around the school are our never-tiring cheerleaders. No matter what the weather-hail, sleet, snow or rain-they can always be depended upon to keep yelling to boost the team on to victory. No matter what the score-80 to U or 0 to 80-they never give up. As long as there is life, there is hope seems to be their motto. Cheerleading is an art, not just standing up and giving ones joints and lungs exercise. To be able to gain the attention of the crowd and lead them in a cheer is a skill, not gained over night. Some of them have been learning and practic- ing the art of cheerleading since they entered 34 junior high. Not only must they know the yell so well that they could say them lr ard but they must be able to accompany them wit action-and these girls really have the action. When a student decides upon cheerleading as a high school career she first seeks an audition If she is accepted her first assignment is with the' Little Lions. As time goes by, if she makes good she is promoted to the second squad. Her ulti-I mate goal and the apple of her eye since her Little Lion days is the first squad-the container of the cream ol the cheerleaders. If she really works and shows herself worthy of the honor.. she becomes a member of the first squad. A wise way for non-resident boys to use their isure time over the lunch hour is to participate the intramural sports. After gaining a few ounds from their lunch they proceed to regain eir former figures by tearing around the gym r the field trying to put that inflated sphere rough the circle or whack a little ball over rough the library window. The resident boys also have a chance to de- elop their athletic skills. After school they can e found doing about the same things the noon- me enthusiasts were doing. Only those not on e regular school teams may take advantage f this recreation. INTRAMURALS At the beginning and the end of the school term mushball is the craze of these keen com- petitors. With loads of vim and vigor they prance to the field below the tennis courts to determine which team is the better. After a few minor in- juries resulting frorn slick slides to home plate, the players of one of the teams emerge victorious. As in almost anything else there is something between the beginning and the end. Sand- wiched in between the two seasons of mushball is the ever popular sport-basketball. Gliding from one basket to the other, these cagers in- duce the ball to make graceful arcs which some- times result in baskets. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL TEAMS-TOP LEFT, KNEELING: D. Frey, D.

Sixty-five points must be had for the first- year letter, three hundred and fifty for the sec- ond, and five hundred for the third letter. Not a bad reward for a little work. A new club has branched forth from this di- dactic club. The Swimming League is made up of girls interested enough in swimming to give up one evening of peace and quiet and journey to York to the Y.

After a rip-roaring summer, while there is still ome life lett, the girls burn a great deal of fuel n their bodies catapulting the volleyball over he net. Red hands and wrists and stiff shoulders re sure signs that this sport has made its debut. ometime in November the volleyball goes into ibernation and basketball comes out of it. The irls have proved that they can become as skill- ul at making baskets as the boys. In March the nthusiasm for basketball dies down and this ear, the first in quite a few, track invaded the irls' sports program. Races, relays, broad jump- ng, and all sorts of team and individual compe- ition takes place at the meets. Then, blowing in n a spring breeze, comes mushball. On the field elow the library, the scene ot our future audi- orium, the girls try their luck at making the bat ome in contact with the ball. After some prac- tice they begin to realize that it might be possi- ble to make a home run some day. The goal of each competing team is to be named the champion The team that remains after all others have been dropped from the elimination tournament automatically gains pos- session ot the coveted title. But in every team there are outstanding players. After the tourna- ment the stars of the teams from each class get together for the play-off. The all-star teams are really what the name implies. Such last, quick, teamwork can result only from cooperation among good players. To be on an all-star team is quite a distinction. The intramurals end after the all-star mush- ball games are played. These muscle-building games get the girls ready for the increased ac- tivity which is characteristic of vacation time. ALL-STAR BASKETBALL TEAMS-LEFT T0 RIGHT: Sophomores, seniors, juniors.

E 3 7 HEALTH The school's medical branch, dental hygienist Mrs. Leola Daugherty and school nurse Mrs. Helen Shel- lenberger, consult each other about the condition of our health. We students realize that we are very fortu- nate to have such a complete health program. The nurse, dental hygienist and physical educa- tion teachers work together to make it successful. If our physical mechanism isn't going just right, We have a capable nurse and dental hy- gienist to get our Wheels working as they should. Every year each of us makes a journey over to the red building to get his ivories polished and to find out Whether or not he is a case for the dentist. Most of us at some time or other make a trip to the nurse to have some iodine applied to those brush burns which are frequent results of gym classes. Every year an audiometer test is given. If our hammers don't beat our ear drums just right th defect is detected by this test. Early correctioj may save our hearing. Another test offered to all who care to take i is the tuberculin test followed in some cases b' an X-ray. This is a result of cooperation betweexj our school nurse and a very active county healtl association. Ot course, there is the weekly gym class Chest out! Stomach in! Shoulders back! Chin in This goes on and on until everyone is about al in. Especially the girls find that their muscle aren't quite strong enough to take it and the da after gym the whole class is walking around a though they were Wax Works.

Good physical and mental qualities are ecessary in order to be considered for member- hip. The boy must have earned his varsity let- ter, displayed good sportsmanship at all times. secured a high scholastic rating and shown out- standing citizenship. Back in 1944, when the present seniors were sophomores, two of their number, David Fink and Fred Inners, were elected to this society. In 1945, lack Hoffman increased the number from this class to three. Then this year Donald Bless- ing, Roy Grove, Donald Iohnson, Theodore Kee- ports, and Paul Stein were added. The number of juniors belonging to the society is six. Ronald N. A. S. S. Fitzkee became a member in his sophomore year and Donald Grove, Curvin Rexroth, Adrian Spangler, Ronald Urey, and Dwight Wise in their junior year. Two of the sophomores have also qualified, Glenn Smith in his freshman year and Sherdell Snyder in his sophomore year. Football seems to be the most popular sport with these boys, but basketball and baseball are close runners-up. Ronald Fitzkee has gained recognition in all three sports. Those who par- ticipated in football and basketball are: Fred Inners, David Fink, Ronald Urey, and Donald Grove. Glenn Smith, Donald Blessing, and Don- ald Iohnson preferred playing football and base- ball while Roy Grove was manager of the for- mer sport and played the latter. Basketball served as a lure for Adrian Spangler while The- odore Keeports was basketball manager. The football field beckoned lack Hoffman, Paul Stein, Curvin Rexroth, Dwight Wise, and Sherdell Snyder. MEMBERS OF THE N. A. S. S. pose before the lower door. FRONT: D, Fink, D. Iohnson, D. Grove, D.

We also hear such reporting as, Bu your gifts now, there are only twenty-one shopping days until Christmas. Another, and probably the most popular source for obtaining news is th newspaper. It not only tells us current news but it acts as a record for pas events. Let us look into our daily papers. We want to see who was born, wh got married, and who died. Maybe we'll even find out where Mrs. gets her hair done because it looks so red at times. Newspapers play a larg part in keeping us informed and influencing our ideas. Monthly magazines and annuals such as this yearbook provide entertain ment. Someone had to get enough vim and vigor to get the news and write i in a Way that would pep up the fagged out worker after a hard day at hi job. This type of publication contains not only current events but compiles the high spots of the month and year for future reference and enjoyment. Many people who report the news have received some training in this fiel from their alma mater. Our alma mater gives us a chance to develop a nos for news by writing for the school publications. Scratch, scratch! This noise is familiar to any- who has done any news writing. An idea to strike too often and become out.

However, without too much effort, just kidding of course, the article is handed in one day late. Meanwhile, the feature editor starts pulling hair for something to write to please the crank- iest reader. Looking for odd or curious events that could be written up in an entertaining man- ner, the feature editor has quite a job. Finally, after much mental exhaustion, several idiotic, but good articles are sent to the editor-in-chief. The typists' work now begins.

These are immedi- ately sent to the printer. The printer sets up the type and in a few days he sends the galleys out to be proofread. Now comes the job! The proofreaders get together to correct errors in grammar, spelling, and punc- tuation. After much slaving of the staff, the staff advisor, editor-in-chief, and copy editor set up a model of each page and decide where the ar- ticles are to be placed when the paper is fin- ished. This in newspaper slang is a dummy. 42 LEFT: E. Grim, D. Deitz, and C. Gohn enter the typin room for Hilltop work. RIGHT: I. Reichard and L. Dietz prepare the featui page. K+!

No, they didn't find al the errors the first time so the proofs are checked again. After they are gone over quite thoroughly they are again sent to the printer for the final stage, which is the completed Hilltop. The Hilltop usually makes its appearance ir ed Lion via bus. Approximately every month a ackage labeled Red Lion Hilltop can be seen n the bus from York.

For the second time in eight years, the mem- bers of the York-Adams School Press Association met in Red Lion to exchange their opinions as to what will make a better paper. Once the stu- dents overcame their shyness, the discussions started with a bang. Telling what they thought was really a good newsy write-up and what they thought should be thrown in the waste basket proved valuable to the representatives. When the long-winded pupils ran out, then What? Meal consuming time, of course.

Like the rest ot America, the association got on the bandwagon and dubbed this the Victor Conference. Approximately three hundred school press representatives ot fifteen schoo newspapers showed up to take part in this joy ous event of the year. The spirit ot victory could also be seen at the dance held at the Elks' Home after the banquet. Our school dance band made its first appear- ance of the year. The picture oi boys and girl chatting happily certainly was proof ot a happ ending of a pleasant and profitable day. The pride and joy of every senior class is its earbook. Even though it isn't a perfect one in e eyes of critics, every senior thinks that the ook of his class is just about tops. As the years peed by, a book which keeps one's school days live grows to be more cherished by that person. Anything worthwhile takes much work. So ith the yearbook. The staff has worked hard uring study periods, after school, and long ours in the evening writing, arranging material, ping, and taking and mounting pictures. The inner sanctum of these yearbook fiends is a mall room near the center of the building and y far not the most attractive. A large, plain ble occupies the center of this room. When this iece of furniture was first placed there it was are, but from that time on it has seldom been the state it was when it made its debut. Books. apers, pencils, typewriters, an occasional rest- ng human frame-all these find their way to the able to clutter its beauty, the little it possesses. trewn throughout the remaining space are esks, files, chairs, stools, paper, a telephone, scales and almost anything else imaginable. ut to the staff, this room is a paradise-just arge enough for them to squeeze into and work n peace.

The editors find out that just because an article is written doesn't mean that that is the end of their worries. Oh, no. That is just the beginning. By the time it is accepted tthat means after ten or less revisionsl the au- thor can barely identify the original. Apparently the speed bug had bitten the busi- ness and circulation staff, for in a short time they gathered the money necessary to edit a year- book. Securing patrons, collecting money, dis- tributing the book and carrying on all other busi- ness. connected with the classbook are not easy tasks. No praise too great can be given to the ever faithful typists. Pounding the keys until all the articles are typed, not just once but many times, can be and is very tiring. By that time, these hard working girls are literally typing in their sleep. Finally, after the Lion has been proofread the last step in its making for the staff, the se iors sit back and start catching up on the breat they had lost in the few previous months. Equipped with a snazzy enlarger, red light and all the other devices needed to produc: good pictures, the newly constructed dark roo is really on the beam.

Y - ,-V ,.,- Chapter V 'rr-IE: POWER 'ro CHARM PLEASING TO THE EAR, colorful to the eye, tickling to the funny-bone-thes are the sensations we experience every time we participate in, or watch on of the many school activities. Have you ever sat tense through a school play, listened fascinated to the school band, orchestra, or glee club, laughed at a funny play produced b fellow school churns, or admired some work of art? Or perhaps it was you Wh arranged that unique assembly program, drew that lovely picture or accom- plished the art of producing music from that piece of wood or brass. All these hold the power to charm, to transport one into an entirely differ- ent environment, to remove one from the daily mode of life into one better thus producing a feeling of accomplishment. We not only feel proud of sucl' achievements but feel that we have gained some valuable knowledge fron: them. Trained instructors are here to guide us and correct our many mistake made while practicing and learning. Without their guidance we doubt if muc enjoyment, charm, or education would be gained. Yes, all these things were meant to charm, but frequently the results were not quite what We call charming. Some horns produced sour notes when melo- dious notes were expected, some artist's touches made queer almost un- identifiable pictures, but they tried: some would-be dramatists were shocked at what came out or maybe what didn't when they viewed the large audi- ence observing their every word and action. Some did charm-some didn't. Nevertheless the power was still there- and the effect depended on us. FP: After parading the length of e field, the band prepares to take seats in the bleachers.

Along the streets peo- ple are waiting for the picturesque group to make its appearance. Garbed in cadet uniforms, they add zest to any football game. But these talented musicians weren't made over night. Oh, no. First it is necessary for a stu- dent, confident of his talents, to obtain an instru- ment from the school if he has none of his own. Then comes the ordeal, the struggle of learning to play. Why must there be flats anyway? Noise is just as common as music coming from the in- struments played by these prospective musicians. But Mr. Forssmark is so used to odd sounds that they do not seem to bother him, although music is far more pleasant. When one has learned to play reasonably well he becomes a member of the junior band. Learning to play with other musicians is some- thing that takes a little time. One eye on the music and one eye on me, is a frequent excla- mation from the director. The frightened one be- gins to wonder whether or not he is supposed to be cross-eyed. Finally this little trick is mas- tered and after some progress the student is transferred to the senior band. A school band is as important a part of a school as its athletic teams. For assemblies, school plays, pep rallies, town parades, football games, and other school and public functions the band can always be depended upon to add to the success. Our school band is known throughout the county for its fine playing. The band, together with other musical organi- zations, takes part in the annual Night of Music, the ultimate in all things musical in Red Lio High. Seniors about to leave their alma mat give their solo contributions. The outstandin feature of this year's program was the renditio of The Battle Hymn of the Republic by th combined glee clubs, totaling one hundred an ninety voices, and the band.

The most soothing music around the school probably comes from the junior orchestra. This organization is maintained to give the ones who prefer playing string instruments an oppor- tunity to develop their talents. Each Tuesday morning finds these musicians with their bows, accompanied with trombones, clarinets, and all other parts which belong to the orchestra, play- ing soft orchestral notes. Their number is small, but they have proved that quantity does not necessarily mean quality. All the members are from junior high school. ln contrast with the junior orchestra is the dance band. Music sweet and hot comes from the drums, trumpets, trombone, piano, clarinets, saxophones, and bass fiddle-all of which help to produce the music. Like most successful bands this one has its crooner. This group organized last yeear and played for some of the school dances. Because of its steadily increasing popularity, the band has ap- peared quite often. Its first performance of the year was at the Elks where it furnished the music for the dancing delegates of the press confer- ence. Again, in December, it pleased the large audience which attended the senior play. Then, at school, besides playing in assemblies, it has provided a pleasant change from records for dancing at school parties. These two orchestras show that our school rec- ognizes all types of music. Too much sweet and hot would get tiresome just as would too many classical strains. In music, as in everything else, we have variety. IUNIOR ORCHESTRA-FRONT: D. Patton, I. Thornton, I. Rost, I. Geary, R. Geesey, R. Kurtz, L. Snyder, R. Deshong, R. Craley, L. Hoke. BACK: R.

On the first day of every school Week, the first thing in the morning, the strains of some famil- iar or perhaps some unfamiliar song are heard throughout the school building-for the senior high glee club is at Work. The senior glee club is the finale of a student's singing career in high school. While still in the grades those interested in music have chances to become members of the grade school choir, in junior high the junior high glee club, and in senior high the musical outlet is the senior high glee club. Under the direction of Mr. Karl Forssmark and Miss Dorothy Snyder, the senior glee club par- ticipates in the annual Night of Music, that long waited for and practiced for night when all par- ents and appreciators of good music listen to, and enjoy the musical talents of the pupils of Red Lion High. The vocal talents united to form this glee club are also exhibited in assemblies and at school plays to add that final touch. A few years ago most of these people could be found in the junior high glee club. This musi- cal organization also sang on the Night of Music and for other various occasions. A few partici- pated in the Music Festival at West York as did some from the senior high glee club. Musical education is obtained by the mem- bers of the glee club, and the audiences of their too infrequent performances also profit by enjoyment. 52 Iunior Glee Club. These voices are in training for senior high singing groups, but even now make fine listening. Those frequently heard, almost unidentifiable noises floating through the halls of Red Lion High School, could almost inevitably be traced to the auditorium or the music room-8b. There you would find a student or a group of students laboriously engaged in the art of trying to make music come from some instrument. If you would return at some future date and listen to the ac- complishment of the pupil as he shows his ad- vancement by playing in a musical organization. you definitely would be pleased with the music department of the Red Lion schools. From the time a student enters to learn until he or she leaves to serve he is given the op- portunity to obtain from the school an instru- ment of his choice and to be instructed on it. Those who practice diligently and put forth effort to learn, graduate with more knowledge besides that obtained in history, English, and mathematics. They accomplish something extra. something educational, and something enter- taining. Some who especially enjoy music go to some further school and major in it. Perhaps in RIGHT: In a beginner's trombone class, Mr. Forssmark instructs two oun hopefuls Many students take advantage of the opportunity to Y 9 - learn music on school owned instruments.

MUSIC CLASSES future years you will find them teaching others as they have been taught. Music classes also provide outlets from the regular studies. Here a student may release all those pent up energies, stored because of the usual quiet of the classrooms, and joyously sing songs old and new that have become favorites. Of course, classes aren't all singing, for the fun- damentals of music must be learned, and the great compositions of former musicians are stud- ies along with the stories of their lives. Records have been injected into the learning process of the music classes and results show their great value and aid to learning. Well- known operas, dignified oratios, majestic sym- phonies-all can be heard by this method. Some say great abilities are necessary before any phase of music is attempted, but the stu- dents of Red Lion High have proven differently. Any person can learn to enjoy and appreciate good music. Many can learn to play instruments and some few become experts. All three are possible at Red Lion High. 53 SENIUR PLAY Iust what everyone is witnessing now-- A Case of Springtime. That was the title of the play which was chosen to be presented as the second dramatic production of the Class of '46. In early spring when young hearts turn to love and everything else is forgotten, one is apt to wake up to find himself in serious trouble. So it was with Bob Parker. This young lad tried every- thing to make an impression on his girl, Ioan Abernaker, the school principal's daughter. He tried to show off by doing magic tricks which just got him into more scrapes. He soon had everyone believing he couldn't do anything Without causing some excitement or Without making one more enemy.

A. ladies decided to come to see Mr. and Mrs. Parker about helping their son. However. before they arrived at the Parker home, young Dickie arranged a hot seat for Ioan but she didn't come, so the ladies were the victims of the trick. After accusations by all, Bob soon found him- self sitting on top of the World. Miss Bright, the lady of the zoo, learned that Bob was the boy who found their chinchillas and took care of them because he thought they were just hungry rabbits. He also raised twenty-three more of them which he could sell at S300 each. Then Bob was able to pay all his debts and everything Worked out line. The play was presented on November 30 and mber 1 to a large house. This year was first time a class play was presented as a afternoon matinee. This idea was so all grade school children could see it staying up so late at night.

This money was acquired through a ransom note they had sent after kidnapping a child. Much to their re- gret they found that the house had been remod- eled. Posing as summer boarders they gained admittance to the house, now the property of Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds. When the Custers ar- rived they found that Dick Reynolds and his friend Pee-Wee were the only inhabitants at the time. The latter caused many complications. After a few murderous attempts the Custers were caught, thanks to Daisy's snooping. Peaches. rather hard-boiled chorus girl, also had a speci reason for calling. Her cleverness in portrayin the part made the audience feel sorry when sh was mercilessly murdered. The success of the play was largely due t the good acting of the cast.

Good supervision by Miss Keeports also ac- counted tor the pleasing results. A great deal ot credit should also go to the prompter, Una Billett. Anyone who has ever been in a play will vouch for the tact that a prompter is a very handy thing to have around. With hundreds of eyes iocused on the actor, is it any wonder that he forgets a line or two? Make-up is also important. Powder, rouge, lipstick, and all the other things which are ap- plied to an actor's face contribute greatly in making a play a success. With powder on her hair, wrinkles drawn on her face, and proper clothes, Mrs. Custer really seemed like an elderly woman. The blackening on Madame Celeste's face proved to be ot good quality, for quite a bit of scrubbing was necessary to remove the stub- born stuif trom her skin. Daisy's pigtails and girl- ish clothes made her look like the real little pest which she portrayed. The junior play cast was very fortunate in having genuine antiques for the stage. These were willingly lent by parents of actors. The boys on the stage crew with the help of the shop instructors created an old-fashioned homey scene. These boys can be very proud of the ex- cellent sound and lighting eifects. The audience was not so sure whether it would be going home in the rain, for the interpretation of an electrical storm was excellent. The publicity committee did a wonderful job ot publicizing the play. Friday and Saturday nights, February 22 and 23, large crowds wit- nessed the play. With shrieks of delight the grade children enjoyed the play the preceding Thursday afternoon. - THE CAST MRS. REYNOLDS, Diclc's aunt .......... ..... N orma Klnkel MR.

To put down on paper that which one sees, to create a picture, almost real, oi some person or thing, to blend colors equally and beautifully, to draw proportion, distance and perspective- that is art. Red Lion High School is proud of its fine art system. From the very first grade, even to the last, art is a part ot every pupil's life. It is a scheduled study in the first to the eighth grades and an elective in high school. The number of would be artists is increasing annually. In addition to the regularly scheduled classes, stu- dents spend activity periods and study periods in the art room working on what they frequently hope will be masterpieces. Oil painting, crayon drawing, water coloring, charcoal drawing, modeling clay, making chal plates, studying pottery, creating unique an charming pins and ornaments-all these ar only a few of the many things that can be ac complished in an art course taken at Red Lio High. Decorations for school parties are ire quently furnished by the art students. The post ers displayed on the bulletin boards throughou the building, announcing some coming event also represent a valuable service of the ar group. Invitations and favors for parties are an other accomplishment, also stage scenery to school plays and drawing for the Hilltop. Under the very capable supervision ot Mis Mary Wilgus, the students of art are learning t do all these constructive things and the art pro gram is broadening out to new and even mor interesting phases. 58 Completion ot linoleum blocks i quite a job tor these activity pe- riod artists in 6b.

Lureita Grove played at Mr. Becker's fare- well assembly. 60 At Easter and Christmas very special assem- es are held. Two plays, well given and with eligious setting, were presented this year. The Qdents went home after these programs feeling y knew why they had a vacation. Pep assemblies are held before each big game the school year. Here the cheerleaders rouse the pupils a certain amount of noise, pep and lergy and direct it toward the players of the spective teams who will play and win for Red :pn High. Movies are a new feature of our school assem- ies. Sponsored by Mr. Shoemaker, our school rector of visual education, they teach and en- tain. The audiences love them and clamor for re. The school authorities plan to enlarge this ogram more each year. Many of the pupils of Red Lion High make eir first public appearance in assemblies. This ebut sometimes leads to many more perform- ances. Assemblies provide a chance to act, to learn to act, and to show talents which other- wise might remain unnoticed. We are always glad to go to the Municipal Building for special assemblies. One of the most outstanding was given by Mr. Harry White who talked and demonstrated science, explaining the atomic bomb and radar. An interesting feature of his program was the recording made when scientists had succeeded in making contact with the moon. Of interest, especially to the girls, were the luminous, beautiful cloths, colored with paints made from radio-active metals. Also dem- onstrated was the laugh meter, showing how the end of an electron tube is affected by sound waves. Assemblies provide recreation and, to a cer- tain extent, knowledge in a different way. As- semblies in the high school have truly upheld these purposes. A scene from the Christmas play shows Gerald Ensminger, Paul Golden, and Iames LaMotte in their roles of beggars. Another Christmas production gives some other juniors a chance to display their dramatic talent. Here are Iollnn Markey, Doris Ludwig, lanet Mundis, Marian Hoover, lill Marlcey, and Una Billett.

Chapter VI FOCUS ON THE FUTURE IT IS IUST AS NATURAL for a student to have varied interests as it is for hi to have his own personal traits of character. Some students have more abilit in one type of subject than in another. For this reason the guidance instructor must turn these interests and these abilities into a course Where they will b best suited. If the subjects of one course are too difficult, that course must n be taken. Also the guidance instructors tell pupils what preparations they mu make for the job each one has in mind. Every pupil has to learn in the life of school to prepare for the school life. Chances are that those students who cannot be counted upon to do thei daily assignments in school will prove unsuccessful in life. Few students realize the amount of influence the grades received in hig school have in obtaining positions afterward or in college entrance. Red Lio offers a large variety of courses with many interesting subjects. What coul be more interesting to girls than home economics which gives a very neces sary preparation for these future homemakers. Both sexes seek the academi and commercial courses, the first preparing for a profession, and the latter fo employment immediately following graduation. Some interesting objects resul from the able use of the shop machinery, enjoyed by members of both th general and the industrial courses, which start the students on the Way t craftsmanship occupations. Each course has its advantages, its special idiosyncracies, but if the stu dent has wisely been guided into the proper course. his chances of succes are excellent. Some students, after reaching the end of welve school years of study and work, grow ore or less tired of formal education and wish o see what the world holds in store for them. his is a natural happening, however, for the orld has need of the mechanic, stenographer, ookkeeper, or machinist as well as the profes- ional person. Red Lion offers the training needed n a variety of subjects. The care of children, proper nutrition, interior ecorating, cooking, sewing, purchasing eco- .omically yet wisely, and proper display of sil- Jerware, glassware, etc., for formal or informal uncheons, according to Emily Post, are a few of ihe things learned by girls who take home eco- PRACTICAL nomics. Good taste in choosing clothing and neatness is emphasized. Truly, no other subject could be more preparatory for homemaking, a future vocation so necessary to the success of our lives and the happiness of the individuals. None the less discouraged by the burnt biscuits, lop-sided hems, dirty dishes, or pricked fingers, these girls have quite an enjoyable time in their classes and finally become quite skilled in all the duties of a housewife. Sometimes it seems that the young typist has to use a sixth sense in order to hit the 1 key the first time instead of erring and hitting its next door neighbor, semicolon. As an illustration call spelled in this manner would turn out as Miss Perry pins the hem of a .suit made by its wearer, lean Ritz.

Here we find that accuracy is very important, for the good stenographer finds no time for erasures. It's just the old idea that practice makes perfect. A new language, unspoken, but written, appears before the shorthand students. One must admit this subject proves trying at first but, as all 64 Whal's new?

Commercial bookkeeping requires in- tense accuracy and patience, and law, a great deal of memorization. These subjects have proved quite sufficient in preparation for office employment. A first-aid kit is kept handy for some such fool- Gerald Hnsminger and Donald Grove slave away on their surf-board. Ah, industry! Setting type proves interesting to a senior shop group.

Ot course, all subjects are practical to a cer tain degree, but the ones heretofore mentionec are those for which some of us will have imme diate need. Perhaps one person is a fiend for mathe- atics, another for science. If such is the case hese fortunate ones need look no further for ome subjects to devour, for these two groups of ubjects go hand in hand, to be the sole mem- ers of the scientific side of education. The odors, colors, and explosions that result rom chemistry experimentations by some of the SCIENTIFIC fiends for laboratory work at least give a va- riety to this subject. Learning about the earth and the elements contained in it and the atmos- phere enables students to better understand the world in which they live and to appreciate the small things in life. The year before this in phys- ics the six simple machines were made known to us and the properties of light, heat, sound, ,U .rs Starfish hold the attention ot a biology class of sophomores and seniors.

Biology deals with the study of life, in general, and the classifications under which each animal or plant falls. In this subject the student gets the first thrill of disect- ing animals to learn more about their structure. General science forms the foundation for these more advanced studies and deals with the world in general. Here one first learns to use the mi- croscope and senses the presence of another world. Since mathematics is used so often in science for computing weights and volume it naturally is necessary to the scientific future. The equa- tions used in algebra are similar to those of chemistry. Algebra involves the study of roots, powers, etc., of letters which supposedly repre- sent numerals of unknown value. This subject is also the basis for the subjects that follow. Plane geometry is different from most mathematics because it involves certain theorems and postu- lates. However, in solid geometry and trigo- nometry facts learned in these earlier forms of mathematics prove invaluable for solving prob- lems and diminishing the work involved. An understanding of mathematics is indeed essen- tial to both a scientific and engineering future. Mastery of all the subjects mentioned sums up the necessary requirements for further ad- vancement in the field of mathematics or science. 68 That's what causes sound, girls, ex- plains Mr. Myers to his freshman general science group.

Marlin Kaullman and Miriam Streavig struggle with their algebra problems, while the others divide their attention be- tween the board and the photographers. For the citizen ot tomorrow it will be well to know more about foreign countries, for the world is becoming smaller. Here, in school, weekly sessions ol current events keep us in the know as to the happenings ot this tast-moving world. In order to understand these present-day events, INTERNATIONAL We must have a knowledge of the backgrounds of the nations. History and foreign languages help us to better understand the people, their ways, and their customs. Through education we are being prepared for the peace which lies ahead of us. Betty Knisely displays her clay model ot a tamous Roman to classmates in Latin IUA. l see a beautiful woman in your lite, says Nelda Heindel as she and Thelma Grove dem- onstrate the art ot telling tor- tunes in French.

Entering the argument are Olene Smith, Da- vid Michels, Fred lnners, Marie Wallace, lack Kinard, Luther Burke, and Pat Miller. l I l I 69 CULTURAL Being a many-sided affair, education must offer a varied background, including not only subjects of immediate material value, but sub- jects which We term cultural. In order to make a success of his life, a student should master the cultural subjects. For the time when slang Words aren't accept- able, Which is all the time around here, students must learn other words which will best express their emotions. Nor must we forget how to con- jugate those Latin and French verbs, decline the nouns, try to find their derivatives, and from the stems figure out the meaning of the English word. Literature also plays an important part in the English course. our heritage and to profit by experiences others gone before us. Here we find proof th one must be correct in remembering dates an- facts Without mixing them in the least. The ability to solve scientific and mathemai ical equations, and knowing how to play a: instrument, paint a beautiful picture, or mak something useful, all contain a certain amour of that cultural quality. . . O ' 4 c Social studies enable us to better appreciat c c Such subjects extend 1nto every course so th all who are graduated from the school hav had the opportunity to become well rounde students who later will make understanding cultured citizens. 70 A junior English class absorbs knowledge of American literatur under the instruction of Mis Farlling.

Founded upon the principles of scholarship, leadership, character, and service, the Red Lion chapter of the National Honor Society each year adds to its roll the names of those junior and senior students who have these qualifications. The members are chosen by a faculty committee and are approved by the supervising principal. Being in the upper third of his class, as far as marks are concerned, makes a student eligible for this honor. Proper attitude in the class, coop- eration with his teacher and his fellow class- mates, attentiveness, and conduct are also taken into consideration. Each pupil must be outstand- ing as a leader in extra-curricular activities and school functions, such as a participant in sports, a character in a dramatic production, a member of the school paper staff, committee member for school dances, or a member of the Lion or Hilltop staff. A student's character is a very determining factor in his election for the society. Honesty in school work is essential as is also fair play in sports. He must be capable of being counted upon to fulfill all duties given him to the best of his ability. Service to the school and the class is another determining factor. A student may serve his class as a home room or class officer, he may contribute his services in a school campaign, or serve on the safety patrol. People who work for the good of all concerned serve the school in the best way possible. Last year six juniors' names were placed on the society's list, this year, five. Eleven seniors were also added to the six who were elected last year. The students chosen in their junior year are automatically members in their senior year. However anyone who does not do his best to uphold the principles upon which he has been elected may be taken from the list. Each year an installation service for new members is held at which time all the new members register their names and receive a certificate of the acknowl- edgment of this honor. They also receive a rib- bon in colors corresponding to the requirements -blue for leadership, white for service, red for character, and yellow for scholarship. Truly any fortunate person who has received the honor of signing the book of registration should be proud, and rightly so, of the work he has accomplished and the honor bestowed him. 71 Oh deaf old Rad L1011 Hfgb, OIJ dear old Red Lion High .... . . . . . . . Chapter VII YOUNG I-IOPEFULS HERE WE FIND the up-and-coming underclassmen, at first shy, bashful, and quiet, but as the students acclimate themselves to the building, the schedule, and the life in the school, they offer Willing shoulders to bear the grave re- sponsibilities accompanying the rise of underclassmen to the state of seniors. So the seniors find, when making preparations for graduation, that there sud- denly appear ieet to step into the shoes about to be vacated by the sophis- ticated ones. These future upperclassmen look forward to the day when they as seniors set the pace of the school and hold the main positions in all extra-curricular activities. Striving ever to make their school a model for others, accomplished only through the unlimited cooperation of the student body and faculty, these prospective ones await, sometimes with sorrow, the time when the portrait of their class will adorn the Walls of their beloved alma mater. Iust as the protrait of each class appears on the wall, so the class leaves its impression, good or bad, upon the life in the school. The various talents of these younger students early find a place in the very active atmosphere which is to be theirs for four happy years. We, as seniors, look to them for support in all undertakings. Backing us to the utmost in the production of plays and musicals, turning out for football, basketball, and baseball games, cheering the team to victory, cooperating with us in all school activities, the underclassmen make the school what it is- peppy and full of life. We hope that this vitality will never leave them and Wish them good luck in their careers as seniors when that time comes.

Many new opportunities are opened to one when he enters tenth gradep so many, in fact, that he finds it impossible to take advantage of all of them. Although the boys can show their athletic ability as freshmen, the girls must wait until they are sophomores to sparkle. Many of them be- came members of the Girls' Athletic Association and participated in the intramural sports. Some boys with latent athletic ability who did not participate in sports as freshmen, woke up and might eventually become stars. Five of them were on the junior varsity basketball team and one on the varsity football team. Two of them became members of the National Athletic Schol- arship Society. Music served as a lure for some of these sophomores and consequently, quite a few were members of the band, dance band, and glee club. For the first time in the histo of the school a sophomore journalism class mat its appearance. The class was composed entire of girls. They have proved that Red Lion Hig girls can do things without the aid of their ma companions. These journalists made such pro ress that they edited an issue of their own. As members of senior high they were natural invited to attend all the social affairs in tl school but the prom. However, if they have sp cial friends in the junior or senior class the may be invited to that also. One of the inform dances, the St. Patrick's Dance, was sponsore by the sophomores. Some of them have al served on the committees which got everythir in tip-top shape for an enjoyable evening. large number of their one hundred thirty-tv e attended these dances and helped to make th CI SUCCESS. 80 TOP LEFT: B.

This year's junior class entered Red Lion High s bewildered freshmen in the fall of 1943. Al- hough not as large as the present freshmen lass, it had the school spirit and provided good eadership for junior high. Sports served as an attraction for some of the male members of the class. The entire junior iigh basketball team was composed of fresh- nen. At this early date two of the present juniors Nere on the varsity football team. Some of them started on their musical careers by joining the oand and the junior high glee club. They entered senior high in 1944. Going to senior high assemblies and parties helped make hem realize that they had finally reached that :herished last division in the school system. Every sport in the school claimed some of its members. The I. V. basketball team, which could boast of an undefeated season, harbored four sophomores. Three of the biggest and strongest males were claimed by the varsity football squad. Four of them were sprinkled over the baseball diamond. Again the sophomores helped to brinng one of our teams on top as the '45 baseball team captured first place by winning every game. This was the first year for quite a few that baseball could be found on the sports program of the school. At the end of the year, with spring fever in their blood, five boys went out to try their skill at track. Finally they became juniors. They found that the life of a junior is very busy, but also very interesting. The busy part is good as it grad- 'OP LEFT: Frey and Ham- 'ton se! out to bring ome the snaps.

Like the other classes, the juniors furnished usicians-some of whom were old members of e musical organizations and some of whom ere just beginning to experiment with a horn r producing a nice tone from their larnyx. The omponents of this class were not so fortunate s to have journalism in their sophomore year, erefore, their first attempts at newspaper writ- g came when they were juniors. Not to be out- one by any other class in senior high, they also dited an issue of the Hilltop. Again sports beckoned many of the stronger ex. After much work three of them made the arsity basketball team and four, the varsity otball team. Six of their number were chosen become members of the National Athletic cholarship Society. Not to be outdone, the girls roved themselves good athletes in ural sports. Two of them served as he Girls' Athletic Association. The juniors sponsored the annual ance and, a few weeks later, their essful Class play, Mumba-jumbo. OME ROOM 13: Lorraine Richardson, Mary the intra- officers in Valentine very suc- That was the time when the actors and actresses had a chance to shine. It was then that they found out how much work there is to producing a good play. Probably the greatest ambition of a junior is to be elected to the National Honor Society. After the first semester marks are in, all those eligible are considered and finally after many elimina- tions are considered, just a few remain. Five of this junior class have lived up to the qualifica- tions and have signed their names on the scroll. The biggest social event of the year will be the junior-senior prom. Girls in swishing skirts plus the heavenly decorations will make that night one never to be forgotten. Iuniors and sen- iors are working hand in hand, sparing nothing to make the last social event of the school for the seniors one to be remembered. Class day will be the time when the juniors officially become seniors. Full charge of the school newspaper and producing a good year- book will require much work in addition to the duties they already had as juniors. In spite of the extra work it entails, they look forward ex- pectantly to becoming the senior class of 1947.

Chapter VIII WE WRITE rims ALL THINGS must eventually come to an end-and so it is with high schoo days. Way back at the beginning of the end, bringing our Lion to its finale the seniors are waiting to bid farewell to the underclassmen ancl the facult with whom we have shared four busy and eventful years. People, We're sure, sometimes must have wondered when they saw ou happy faces if we really had to Work in school. 'The answer is an emphati yes, for school certainly was not all mirth and madness. lt's true that w had much fun, but we also had much work. Looking over the senior directory one can see that a great many of our number were very busy taking part i extra activities which our alma mater offered us in addition to a full curricula course of study. Everything that you have already observed in the precedin chapters of this annual helped to fill completely the time we spent in th building on the top of the hill. We realize now the truth in the statement that our parents have been say ing to us: Your school days are your best days. They have been wonderfu days-full of work and play-hardly ever a dull moment. Now we are deter mined to use the education we received here to our greatest advantage. Seniors are usually glad in a sad way to leave their high school, and w are no exception-being glad because we are looking forward to a brigh successful future, being sad because we are going to part from our friends We will often look back to those good old school days-days never to b forgotten.

When we definitely belonged to the younger set, way back in 1934, we were not a mixture. Each little township and borough harbored its own brood in its own little school. Simple as these buildings were, we loved them very much and we realize that they laid a strong founda- tion for our future learning.

Entering high school as freshmen in 1942 was a glorious event for us. It didn't take long for us to get acquainted with one another or to get into the swing of things. We, as almost insignificant students, soon had representation in the band, orchestra, glee club, cheerleading squad, and junior high basketball. As sophomores, we be- gan working on various committees for dances and taking part in senior high activities. Our junior year added writing for the Hilltop and our class play, The House of Strangeness. A few of our number were honored by being se- lected for the National Honor Society and the Na- tional Athletic Scholarship Society. and one by being presented the outstanding player award. 88 DOROTHY DEI'rz LOUISE DIETz AYMOND DoTTs ETHEL DULL BETTY EATON DONALD EMENHEISER PAULINB EMENHEISER MARY EPPLEY DAVID PINK HERBERT FLINCHBAUGH ELAINE GABLE IFREEMAN GEMMILL , KENNETH GILBERT CHARLOTTE GoHN GLORIA GORDON 'I 4 D ALMA GRAHAM ELWOOD GRIM PALMER GRIM EVELYN GRI LEONARD GROVE ROY GROVE PHYLLIS GRov THELMA GROVE MONROE HARTMA NELDA HEINDEL MIRIAM HEss DONALD HOLLWAY IACK HOEPMA WILLIAM HOLTZAPPLE FREDERICK INNER DONALD IOHNSON DIANE KALTREIDER T1-1EonoRE KI-ZEPORTS DORIS KELLER LEON KELLER FREEMAN KINARD IACK KINARD KENNETH KUNKLE BETTY LAuc1-rs MYLEs LLOYD LESTER LUDWIG HELEN McCoy DELoREs MCKINLEY SHIRLEY MAY FAYNE MEADS V- E, .
