Oh, Alma Mater, great and gfdlllll, 1'6lI0lUlZ!d from .rea I0 .rea . . . . . 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
