eiewatd EARLY IN OCTOBER the realization came to us seniors that our alma mater was doing a great deal for us and it was about time we gave it due reward- a prominent place in our yearbook. 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. Tho' 'very .fpacions he thy wallf, and wide thy playgroizndr fpread, And tho' thy adamantine wallr tall tower overhead, Yet all too narrow are thy hozzndr our fealty to contain, But harh! the very Jhy refoizndf, and echoex our refrain. Oh dear old Red Lion High, oh dear old Red Lion High, W'e'll e'er look haeh to the Gold and Black Of dear old Red Lion High.

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
