PUBLISHED BY THE SENIUR CLASS UF RED LIUN HIGH SEHUUL, RED LIUN, PA Foreword Last tall, When planning this book Was begun, We tore down all possible themes one by one, We thought ot our school, the teachers, the class, We thought ot some others but they just wouldn't pass. Then one day We realized that gathered right here In our school are students from both tar and near. Some come from Windsor and Felton We know, And also from Spry, the Brogue, and Yoe. Winterstown sends us a group every year For out-ot-town students are commonplace here. So with all ot these students as center and theme And with poetry helping to Win your esteem, To remind you ot school days all your lite through, The '48 LION is presented to you. 4 NOTES THE COVERLINER AIMS TO SHOW IN RELATIVE LOCATIONS THE VARIOUS GRADE SCHOOLS IN SOUTH- ERN YORK COUNTY FROM WHICH, IN ADDITION TO THE LOCAL SCHOOLS, COME THE STUDENTS OF RED LION HIGH SCHOOL.

These students trom seniors on down to grade seven Form both junior and senior high, And a more complete group you will never amass No matter how hard you may try. So, as you read on, keep this one thought in mind: That tor students alone is our school. And these are the students of Red Lion I-Iighg To learn is their primary rule. 9 B09 Having reached high school's last year of learning The thoughts of the to the future are turning. As many seniors have done before us, we too are bringing to an end four happy years at R. L. H. S. Four years ago we migrated to Red Lion High from the surrounding districts of Wind- sor Township, Yoe Borough, Lower Windsor Township, North Hopewell Township, Chance- ford Township, Felton Borough, Winterstown Borough, Lower Chanceford Township, East Hopewell Township, Cross Roads Borough, York Township, East Prospect Borough, and Red Lion Borough. Little did we realize that four years could fly by so rapidly. ln retrospect our years as underclassmen seem comparatively calm but eventful. While fresh- men, we tried to get the jist of things by watch- ing and copying examples set by upperclass- men. Then, as sophomores, we were granted certain responsibilities and privileges befitting our status. Our junior year brought increased participation in sports, music, and social activi- ties, election of outstanding members of our group to the honor societiesp our own class playg and cooperation with the seniors in commence- ment activities. Finally came the biggest year in our school life-our senior year. We started it off with a o- Q as LQ o- -4 Fi' Q ET :: LQ E I CD UI 'U O as lf'-. QT Q' 6' '1 5 CD U1 O :r O fl wi st if fi ,gil C: 6,41 newspaper and presenting our senior play, Col- lege Daze. Editing our yearbook, The Lion, consumed much time and energy well-spent. Of course the traditional senior procedures of hav- ing pictures taken and ordering name cards and announcements brought the realization that our life on the hill was nearing completion. Our class sponsored the Christmas Dance and served on committees for other social functions. More of our number were honored by being elected to the N. H. S. and N. A. S. S. Through the year a large number of our boys were given recogni- tion for their outstanding participation in foot- ball, basketball, baseball and track. Too, we had a large representation in the musical organ- izations of the school. As the season moved on we became concerned with the finale of our senior year-class day, commencement, and the Iunior-Senior Prom. And now as the spring of 1948 brings our happy eventful life at Red Lion High to a close, we think back over the years and realize all the wonderful times we had together through ear- nest work and play. The next few years will find approximately forty-nine per cent of our group furthering their education, about forty-eight per cent broadening their minds in the field of prac- tical experience, and the rest, according to pres- ent plans, having homes of their own. But wher- ever we may be, and whatever we may be doing, never will we forget our four years in R. L. H. S. Class colors .... .... M aroon and White Class flower. ...................... White Rose Class motto .... You do your best, God and Hu- manity will take care of the rest.

Coming into their own by their play and school dances Are the J I the class which education enhances. In the fall of 1945, with the remarkable enroll- ment of 189 members, this group entered Red Lion High School. The first two years marked the transition from junior to senior high, with the usual participation in sports and other school activities, and the attainment of a good scho- lastic record. Last fall, after a summer's vacation, once again the Class of '49 ventured back to R. L. H. S. to make a rather impressive record. As juniors they can boast that ten of their he-men were on the varsity football squad-lads who next year will be the backbone of our team. Eleven mem- bers are on the recently organized drill team. In basketball eight junior boys helped our team attain its fine record for the past season, and the track and baseball teams this spring have quite a representation from the class. The girls not to be outdone have entered heartily into the activi- ties of the G. A. A. In the more artistic fields of music, journalism and dramatics the juniors also shine. Twenty-five members of the class lend their vocal talent to the senior high glee club, while nine are active in the school band and three in the dance band. Fifteen boys and girls contribute their literary thoughts to the school paper, the Hilltop, and from this group will be xt N X X Q N X f .. l x ii -A - Xl Z Eg I., N z iff ' x X' 1 I LQT chosen leading staff members for next year. In February much heretofore unsuspected dramatic talent in the class was made apparent to the public when the juniors presented the play, Home Sweet Homicide, to packed houses on two nights. Socially the Class of '49 is quite active, hav- ing fully cooperated with other groups ever since entering high school. The premier social event of the current year, the Fall Dance on Saturday, October 14, was sponsored by the jun- ior class. This affair was an outstanding success and set a goal in attendance and entertainment for the parties which were to follow. The junior class ranks second largest in size in the entire school with one hundred and sixty members. The majority of the students Com- prising the class reside outside of Red Lion, with Chanceford, Windsor, York Township, and Lower Windsor Township contributing the larg- est numbers. The number of students in each course is rather interesting to know. The greatest number of them are preparing for more advanced school- ing by taking the college preparatory course. Next come the industrial arts for the boys and the commercial for the girls. These two courses prepare students for vocations upon graduation from high school such as bookkeeper and ste- nographer in the business field, and printing, woodworking, foundry, or machinist occupations in industry. As a whole the class is Well propor- tioned in the various courses offered at Red Lion High School. A few students who have proven themselves outstanding leaders were elected to the school honor societies during the second semester, but how successfully the class as a whole has charted its course in scholarship and extra-cur- ricular fields will be more evident as it assumes the senior role of school leaders. we Q F JE X 'f a Eg ,Xllfwf QW V 'gf , EJ fgilifsg fg ,fi fwifi' af, 21353 5 ff? if-gr 'FQ mt V f A 4 ,1 A, ' 3 53?

The Class of l95U entered Red Lion High School in the fall of l946 literally with a bang. With a record of activity behind them and a ten- dency toward making themselves heard, mem- bers of the class right from the beginning of the school term got off to a very active participation in school life by taking part in sports, musical organizations, and, in fact, everything open to freshmen. On their return to school this fall the sopho- mores found themselves corralled in the same section of the building as the year previous and prepared to go right along with the many activi- ties in which they had participated during their freshmen year. In the music field there are nine- teen members of the class who possess voices that enable them to vocalize with the glee club, one even rated position of soloist with the dance bandg which organization includes several soph- omore instrumentalists. The senior band is blessed with a goodly number of this class, six- teen to be exact. In athletics twenty sophomore boys were out for football, and eight had posi- tions on the lay-Vee basketball squad. Our drill team, still in its infancy, shows six on its list. x af' In-,nprln-.-.

'fr ' t I n X f--X :Lx I A f Too, this class seems almost to possess a monop- oly on the cheerleading squad because three of its girls were first squad cheerleaders this year. In this grade the number of resident and non- resident pupils is very nearly the same. Approxi- mately half live in town and the other half in outlying districts. Unlike the juniors the sopho- mores have only two districts conspicuous be- cause of the large numbers of students they send -Chanceford and Windsor Townships. Nearly all of the other districts contribute approximately the same number of scholars to our alma mater. There are nearly one hundred and forty in this year's tenth grade and it is the third largest class in the entire school. The social venture of the class was the Valen- tine Dance on February l4, which affair they sponsored. An enthusiastic committee went to great lengths to make the party the outstanding success it turned out to be. Assuredly Cupid's Nightmares will go down in the annals of school entertainment. College seems to be a powerful magnet, draw- ing these students toward it, because a majority of them are preparing, studying, and planning to venture forth into the field of advanced edu- cation by specializing in the college preparatory course. The commercial and industrial follow a little in the distance, the pupils in these prepar- ing to go into a vocation in the not too distant future. Scholastically the sophs have a record to be proud of because every marking period finds quite a few on the honor roll and always sev- eral on the distinguished honor roll. They are doing a fine job and should be an outstanding senior class in two years when their turn comes to lead our school forward to new honors. SOPHOMORES-Front: J. Flinchbaugh, R. Zarlos, M.

In the junior high school the freshmen are the pacesetters. They are usually the largest class in the school and this year is no exception to the rule as the class numbers 178 in members and ranks first in size. Many of this class seem bewildered and lost the first few days of school, because for some of them this is their first expe- rience in school other than a one-room school house. However, this situation soon wears off and the freshmen can find their way to classes and activities by pushing and dodging many of the obstacles in their way. Speaking in round numbers, approximately sixty per cent of the freshmen have come from the thirteen outlying districts which send stu- dents to Red Lion High, and the other forty per cent reside in the borough of Red Lion. Chance- ford Township has the largest representation with East Hopewell, North Hopewell, Windsor, York, and Lower Windsor Townships not too far behind. The freshmen are rather equally divided in the various courses offered here at Red Lion.

Nevertheless, many are taking the college preparatory course to be on the safe side. A relatively large number of the boys are follow- ing the industrial course because they are in- clined to work with their hands. The commercial course also has a fair sized number of students in its scope because there are always girls and boys who wish to be secretaries or bookkeepers for business firms. The seventh and eighth graders are seldom heard about. Usually they are timid little people who are very studious in their scholastic en- deavors and moderately active in their not-so- wide sphere of extra-curricular affairs. Residing for the most part in the building across the street they are known to the upperclassmen mainly through reports of their assembly programs and scholastic averages. As subject matter goes, they have required subjects which must be carried. Nearly all of the seventh and eighth graders live in Red Lion. However, there are several districts which, for one reason or another, have several students in our school on top of the hill. An interesting gang is this our junior high. Although small in stature and not too conspicu- ous in school affairs as yet, nevertheless to date their interests have been responsible for the or- ganization of three new clubs-stamp, magician, and junior high dramatic club. The junior high glee club and junior band are almost wholly made up from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Nor must we forget those future foot- ball heroes who diligently showed up for prac- tices every night last fall, and that plucky junior high basketball team. There's a real future ahead for these youngsters. 2 , M, ESQ? 'N ,QF '7 rf inf, 2 fb Q 'X-55, 53 5 QU! vm if 3 'iii' ls, 5. , ,,,. YQ my W EIGHTH GRADE-Front Row: P. Stump, H. Henshaw, D. Barley, B.

These teachers, in or- der to give us young hopefuls a good educa- tion complete with all the trimmings of sufficient books, papers, pencils, light, heat, movies, and all the other necessities, must have the support of our competent school board. These fine citi- zens of Red Lion are all successful businessmen. Lumberman, grocer, banker, and cigar manufac- turers, they come originally from various sec- tions of Pennsylvania. He who heads all--Mr. Dan B. Kulp, super- vising principal-has many duties, large and small, to occupy him not only in but out of school as well. In an emergency he takes over classes for absent teachers, sells tickets at foot- ball games, listens to pupils' and teachers' com- plaints, or plays Santa at Christmas. These mi- nor tasks are all in line with his all-important duty of being a good supervisor of a good school. Leaving school after a meeting of the Red Lion Board of Education are E. C. Moore, high school principal,- Earl Hartman, secretaryf Dan B. Kulp, supervising principal, David R. Fink, treasurerj Charles E. Horn,' Ed- ward Landis, vice-president, Thomas C. Holtzinger, president. Our supervising principal, Dan B, Kulp, B.S., M.Ed., one time of Williamsburg, is now a staunch Red Lionite. Supervising three build- ings is enough for any man, but Mr. Kulp finds time to be quite active in civic affairs.

A few ofthe many home towns claimed by our faculty mem- bers are Lewisburg, Palmyra, Grove City, Eas- ton, Iohnstown, Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Temporary personnel of the year reached into New York and as far south as Texas. So you see not only the pupils but also our teachers come from many-some near, some far-out- lying districts. The favorite pews of study hall are occupied by the industrious ones. Mrs. Zelsman, a popular chemistry substitute teacher hailing from Texas, spent six weeks with us in the fall. Members of a shop section broad- cast their poetry lfruits of an En- glish classl with appropriate sound effects. Headed by our high school principal, Mr. Moore, and our dean of girls, Miss Farlling, a guidance program has been worked out in R. L. H. S. which follows the student straight through his six years of junior and senior high school. Weekly home room programs, senior and junior high alternating, are held, at which time students take charge, air their opinions and dis- cuss Ways of improving themselves and their school, preparation for the future, and like sub- jects. Miss A testing program under the direction of Farlling tests abilities in different lines as Well as interests, and on the basis of these re- sults students are encouraged to enter courses and subsequent fields of endeavor for Which they show the most inclination toward success. At the end of the various marking periods con- sultations are held to determine causes of un- satisfactory ratings and efforts are made toward adjustment. If deemed necessary a change in course is advised. In conjunction with this pro- gram personality tests are given in phys. ed., classes and movies are provided relative to va- rious vocations. For the college-minded, a large collection of catalogues of various schools is available along with literature pertinent to different trades and professions. Whatever the interest, Whatever the difficulty, every effort possible is made to render the student's life more profitable and more pleasant. Edgar C. Moore, B.S., our high school principal, is an alumnus of R. L. H. S. and a native of Red Lion. ln addition to his routine duties ol principal, Mr. Moore is dean of boys and math teacher. DOROTHY S.

Our mentors bring to us all sorts of knowledge which they acquired after many years of hard work and study at many fine colleges and uni- versities. Institutions of learning such as Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, West Chester State Teachers' College, Albright College, University of Maryland, Penn State, American University. Indiana State Teachers' College, Columbia Uni- versity, Ursinus College, Susquehanna Univer- sity, and some fifteen others have graduated science, language, shop, art, music, home eco- nomics, social studies, and physical education teachers, who have come to Red Lion High to share what they have learned. Musicians to magicians, bee keepers to coin collectors are found within the boundary of our yellow brick Walls. The varied interests of our teachers give to students an outlet for their ex- cess energy in the form of clubs and organiza- tions. Most of the female members of our faculty enjoy reading, fancy work, and music, while our he-man males enjoy Woodworking and sports. Such a variety of people from so many fine sections of our state and other states, can do nothing for our school but make it one of the finest educational systems that can be found Mary E.

Clad in White they go to the athletic field to run, jump, and throw for the glory of old Red Lion High. Anyone not acquainted with the ways of track might Wonder at seeing the aimless jogging of a long distance man or a sprinter practicing his starts. He might think it useless to continuously heave around a heavy iron ball, or jump with elaborate carefulness in order not to dislodge a flimsy loar. Endurance counts a lot and only those Who train have the necessary endurance. Many long hours of hard grueling work are spent preparing and coordinating the minds and muscles of those who are striving for track lau- rels. From high jumpers to distance runners, there is always a single thought: to perfect the form of their abilities and to improve wherever pos- sible. This rule was no exception for those who participated in Red Lion High track events of this past year. The '47 team, coached by Mr. Nitchkey, en- tered in two meets. After an easy victory over West York, the Lions prepared to match brain and brawn with West York, Manchester, Dover, Dallastown, and North York at the county meet held at Small's Athletic Field. Through the Work of Fitzkee, a Windsor boy who Won the 440, Shellenberger from Red Lion who was fourth in the l00-yard dash and tied for second in the 220, and Rexroth who was fifth in the l00 and third in the 220, Red Lion was able to finish second to North York fNorth York later sent candidates to compete in the state-wide field meet cham- pionshipsl. Some other winners or placers were Don Paules who tied for second in the high jump, and Phil Golden, coming in second in the 440. This being the headliner event of the track sea- son it attracted much interest and inspired those who were working hard after school to perfect their form and improve their accomplishments. This year a new track coach, Mr. H. Myers, will be present on the field. His own unbeaten records in the l00 and 200-yard dashes will mean added incentive to the boys training under him. Coach Myers' spring call for track- men brought out more than thirty hopefuls for the 1948 season. 4. aiif .. - .L Bill Hoffman lets fly with the weights at the county track meet.

We give you I' I' r I' ...H The stands are tense. The pitcher looks toward first and all is quiet as in towards home comes hurtling the tiny missile that means so much to all. Not once were the Red Lion fans' hopes doomed to disappointment, for in one of the most impressive displays of high school baseball, the Red Lion team members defeated twelve straight opponents during their regularly scheduled sea- son to win the Southern Division Championship, their third straight championship and their sec- ond undefeated season in three years. They then went on to win the county championship by 3-U victory over Manchester, northern division win- ners, for their second county championship in three years. During these three seasons the Lions have won an amazing thirty games while dropping only three. Red Lion certainly can be proud of the school team and the shining record it has established during the last three years. Some other statistics show the team with a batting average of .344, and the highest batting average of .457 obtained by Captain Fitzkee from Windsor, who also led in the most extra base hits with 4 doubles, 3 triples, and Z home runs. On April 8, the Lions opened their highly suc- cessful season with a 7-l victory over Codorus. They then journeyed to Dallastown and pro- ceeded to Whip the Dallastown boys Z-U, be- hind the one-hit pitching of big Don Grove, of Felton. Glen Rock and Delta fell before the Lion jauggernaut by high scores. Then New Freedom was on the short end of Don Grove's second one-hitter of the season, Dick Blessing, of Yoe, hitting his first four-bagger of the season. Stew- artstown and Codorus were defeated by 18-1 and 7-U counts. In the return game with Dallas- town, the Lions had little trouble, winning over the neighboring team 9-2. Glen Rock was next to go down to defeat, Fitzkee outlasting the rival pitcher in a tense pitching duel. In their next game the Lions clinched the Southern Division Championship by swamping Delta. It was then just a matter of completing their schedule and the Lions did so by defeating New Freedom and Stewartstown. 1947 BASEBALL TEAM-Buck: Glenn Smith, Dean Winemiller, Sherdell Snyder, Ben Stiffler, Wayne Heim, Dale Kinard, Lafean Seitz, Glenn Thomas, Bill Jones, Coach Hangen, Walter Gladfelter.

Then came the championship game with Man- chester and, as our boys had done l2 times in succession in their regular season, they came out on top by a 3-U score. This season has given us ample proof as to the fighting spirit and athletic talent bestowed on the Red Lion High School student body. We know that as long as this kind of will to win is alive in the hearts and minds ot those who attend our alma mater, she will always stand head and shoulders above her competitors both in score and in sportsmanship. Finally, a word of thought to the great teams we had in the past and to the line teams we shall have in the future-keep up the great record and never lose the desire to achieve victory, for to those who have this desire go the laurels oi a victory well-earned.

Can you think of anything more interesting and exciting than a football game at R. L. H. S.? Perhaps you would like to know the inside, corn- plete story of the team during pre-season train- ing, daily workouts, and the accomplishments of the team during the gridiron season. Before school begins each fall, before every- one else thinks seriously of again returning to school, a small group of the more athletic in- clined school boys climb the Well-known hill to start the hot, dry routine of training and get- ting into shape. This training provides the Lions of the season with the physical stamina they need during a game when the going gets tough. This year thirty-three boys of R. L. H. S., under the expert and watchful eyes of Coach Nitchkey and Coach Hangen, trained toward their goal of victory in battle. With six of last year's letter- men as a foundation these two coaches built one of the finest teams in our school's history. As proof of the team's ability, they earned the coveted championship in the Conference of the Roses. Although sixteen Lions received letters this year, there were seventeen other men who did their share in building the championship team. lt must be remembered that these fellows, too, deserve much credit for their hard Work, loyalty, and faithfulness to the team during the season. The Lions opened their 1947 season with the indication that they were just going to be an- other average team. In their first contest, with York Catholic, they went down in defeat to the time of an l8-7 score. However, they shook the dust out of their eyes and from then on until the season culminated in our being champions of the Conference of the Roses, were never on the short end of the score. 1947 VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD-Standing: Wayne Heim, Benjamin Stiffler, Denton Gemmill, Kenneth Poet, Dale Olewiler, Max Stump, David Grim, Philip Golden, Darrell Billett, Stanley Hartzell, Gene Neff, David Stump, Robert Clippinger, Lee Gruver, Gary Stabley, Duane Swartzbaugh, Glenn Smith.

After the York Catholic defeat, Red Lion un- leashed powerful offensives to repulse all op- ponents up until the final game of the season when they were tied by our traditional foes, West York, l2-l2. In the Millersburg game, Dale Shellenberger, stellar hard-fighting halfback, broke the all-time touchdown scoring record by soaring his season's total to seventeen. The pre- vious high had been sixteen by one player in one season. In the Columbia game he raised it to a twenty-one-in-eight-games record. The only serious injury of the past season occurred in the Ephrata game when George McGuigan, center, suffered a fractured ankle. Special credit goes to Richard Blessing, of Yoe, for his fine job of co-captaining the team along with Sherdell Snyder, end from Felton. Also, Iohn Workinger, Thomas Frutiger, Wayne Heim, Glenn Smith, Dale Olewiler, and Glenn Thomas were outstanding on the gridiron. It is these gridiron stars that elevate the banner of Red Lion to a position of distinction in the his- tory of the pigskin.

Red Lion High is only one of the thousands of schools participating in this sport, and yet we have great pride in our teams, from the varsity squad on down to the junior high hoopsters. This past season was fairly successful, showing the varsity squad with a record of ten wins and six defeats. Finishing tie for third in the league standings, the team played much better ball than the records indicate. The season opened with the Black and Gold journeying to Dover, to defeat their hosts, 32-15. Their second game with Spring Grove ended likewise in victory for the Lions. Then Red Lion ran up against the strong York Catholic team, and, although the boys played their usual stellar defensive game, the visitors outplayed them. The West York game followed and when the final whistle blew, the scoreboard showed a heart- breaking ZU-l9 loss for the Lions. Then in suc- cession Manchester, Wrightsville, and Dallas- town fell victims to Red Lion's floormen. Next followed a defeat and a victory for the Lions, after which Coach Nitchkey's five promptly moved into a tie for second place by defeating Spring Grove. Then they won from their south- ern division neighbors, Dallastown, in the sec- ond of their two exhibition games. The second York Catholic game was much like the first, but the Lions avenged the earlier West York defeat in a very rough contest ending 33-31. Three more games and the season was over. The junior high team, playing in preliminaries to the varsity games, compiled a record of six Wins and eight losses, finishing in fifth place in the York County Iunior High League.

If the game is slow and some pep it is needing We turn to the group that does Red Lion's G, When school spirits needed a little spark to ignite them into thundering fury, the irreplac- able cheerleading squad were always there with the best. At football and basketball games the atmosphere just couldn't be complete without the whirling skirts and rhythmical movements of these pepsters, who, with odds for or odds against, upheld the spirit of the team and fans. Early each fall tryouts are held to determine, on the bases of good voices, precision of move- ment, and lots of pep, the members of the three squads. Be it varsity, second squad or Little Lions, they all work together to accomplish per- fect team work, each girl realizing that her job of keeping school spirit alive is one of utmost importance. Inasmuch as the majority of this year's cheerleaders come from Red Lion, the custom of evening drills was inaugurated, thus giving opportunity to would-be-cheerleaders as well as those already on the squad. With their faculty advisor, Miss Markey, to help them, they studied old cheers, and developed new ones with fitting gyrations so they might best give the mighty Lions the will to win or the energy to pull a tight game out of the fire. The main at- tribute to good cheerleading is the ability to inspire the crowd into roaring cheers. This is exactly what the Lion cheerleading staff did all through the football and basketball seasons. It is with this kind of school spirit that the teams find the will to win their games. Whether it be raining, sleeting, or snowing, the squads were always doing their peppiest best. Nothing could dampen the spirits of these faithful cheerleaders, and even when the Lions faced defeat, the cheerleading squads were found urging the crowd to back them to their utmost. We all feel that they did an excellent job, and we know that as long as there are high school sports, the cheerleaders will be an essential part of them.

Their season began in October with vol- leyball tournaments getting underway. Another fall activity, which proved less strenuous, was the planning of the football dance, the G. A.

Girls' intra- mural basketball was an added feature with various classes competing against each other. Again this was in direct line with the boys' intramural sports program. Then, when spring rolled around, a young lady's fancy turned not to love but to mushball, a sport which yearly gains more popularity. This was also beneficial to many girls due to the fact that it provided many happy moments of good clean fun in the out-of-doors. Last on the sports calendar was swimming at the York Y. W. C. A., an activity which was recently revived. The final reward for participating in all the sports events came after all points had been totalled and the letters and certificates were ready for distribution. Girls who received letters had truly lived up to the standards of their or- ganization whose keynote is good sportsmanship.

Two sophomore teams line up for a play-off in the volleyball tournament.

These sport events afford the fellows a chance to play who are not able for one reason or an- other to go out for the school teams. Basketball is a source of entertainment for many students both participating and spectat- ing because this dashing game is in season for the entire winter months and the early spring. Teams are chosen by elected captains and a schedule is arranged. The students from town usually play their games after school and toward the end of the season, the winners of the respec- tive divisions ltown and out-of-towni meet in a school championship game. Usually these teams are fairly well matched and the score is very close the entire span of the game, which makes this championship play-off a stellar attraction and an excellent contest to view. Rural boys take advantage of noon- time to make an interesting intra- mural basketball schedule. Participating students show various emotions in highly contested intra- mural basketball game. Douglas pitches to o group of boys who are taking advantage of the noon-day sports program offered to out-of-town boys. Another shot of noon-time softball shows a fast game in progress. In softball, the teams are chosen in the same way but there is no championship game. The teams usually are named after major league clubs such as the Yankees, Dodgers, and Red Sox. Through such experience and friendly competition students learn fundamentals of the game and how it is played. Some students prefer different sports from others, but on the whole the intramural program is so constructed as to afford equal opportuni- ties for all who feel they would like to partici- pate in competitive sports. This is another fea- ture in the school curriculum providing enter- tainment and benefit for students. By competing with one another, the students learn to play fairly and squarely and associate with many new friends. The intramural sports program is provided for all out-of-town students especially, but we find that the majority of the participants are fresh- men and sophomores. These new students of Red Lion have always accepted the program with vigor and whole-heartedness. It seems as if the juniors and seniors are usually busy, either with one thing or the other. Many chase them- selves ragged over their one and only heart throb while others pursue various activities. However, let that be as it may. To those Who do compete when the opportunity offers, a toast to you, your team, and its success. Maybe some day you'll profit by the small amount of knowl- edge you learned in the intramural sports at R. L. H. S, because such teaching and experi- ence is invaluable in many respects. 66 W ve momenxs 593 ev eN orikxyl XTXES ROY A When school seems to keep the student on edge And he wishes he would have gone Hshing, The activities program will come to his aidg He soon will forget all his wishing.

Until this year the junior and senior play con- stituted the main dramatic production performed in our school, which, of course, limited our ac- tors and actresses to very few in number. The organization of two dramatic clubs, a separate one for junior and senior high students, reme- died this situation. The second and fourth Thursdays found thirty senior highers at work either practicing on some chosen skits or reading quietly plays of all sorts. Reading plays and giving written and oral dis- cussions of them was an important step which had to be taken before acting them out became a reality. Also a blackboard diagram illustrat- ing all parts of the stage was explained to the group along with explanation of play-book di- rections, seating arrangements and positions. After all the preliminaries were digested, active stage work began. Entrances and exits, expres- sion and all things which would bring about the carrying over of natural action onto the stage were developed. Reward was theirs when an assembly was set aside for their special skits. Not to be outdone by the seniors a group of junior high students with the aid of a faculty director formed their own dramatic club. While time was spent on all types of plays, special ef- fort was given to radio plays, one of which was presented March 12 in the regular junior high assembly program. The junior high actors and actresses have years ahead of them in which to apply their dramatic training while the senior high group made a direct carry-over by being represented in the junior and senior plays. Mr. R. Baldwin, senior dramatic club director, assisted Miss M. Farlling with the senior class production of Iohn Rand's hilarious comedy, College Daze. Due to the amount of talent displayed at try-outs, the dual cast system, a custom of former years, was again used. Ma Mitche1l's coffee Shoppe set the scene, and the plot centered around Duke Duquet and Slim Wiggins whose ingenious plan of exchanging names and situations caused unlimited compli- cations which were climaxed when Duke be- came the school hero. Featured in the cast were David Myers as Duke, a young man of wealthy Fayne Neff and Patsy Snyder as Ma, proprie- tress of Ma Mitchell's coffee shoppeg Daniel Shoe- maker as Slim, poor but honest, Dottie Ellis and Doris Stabley as Ma's daughter, Fay Hess and Connie Ehehalt as a student prejudiced toward basketball captainsg Richard Goodman as Bill, Lafean Seitz's make-up gets a retouch from Kathleen Grove before senior play curtain call.

The juniors took on the air of mystery in their initial production, Home Sweet Homicide. This familiar who-dun-it involves Dinah, April, and Archie, three adolescents Who, after attempting to be Dan Cupid and Sherlock Holmes, entangle with policemen, murderers and other assorted characters.

Though some out-of-towners appear in the cast, their helping hand in making dramatics a successful field in R .L. H. S. was by doing the vital committee Work which had to be done be- fore any production can be realized. Scurrying about for properties, being usherettes, pulling the off-stage switches at the right time were all the jobs completed largely by the out-of-towners. Without them no class production Was complete. Their cooperation with the native Red Lioners was felt when the curtain came down and the applause filled the air insuring success. There is a tense moment as Mr. Cherington CR. Workingerl threatens the three junior sleuths while the audience waits in quiet suspense. All's well that ends well. The mys- tery is solved and everyone seems glad of it in the final scene of Home Sweet Homicide. The smiles on the junior play cast members' faces tell all that their initial dramatic production was successful. Their substance the things one will always need I HPF' I I' ' 7' These J, Q come in handy indeed. Applying with our hands what we have learned with our minds might Well have been the motto of the Craft Club and Future Home- makers of America. These handy-andy organ- izations, both relatively new, were entirely dif- ferent from other clubs as their products were something everyone could see and admire. Appealing largely to the rural girls, the F. H. A. was designed to give its members all the fundamentals and fine points of home-mak- ing. How to be a good hostess, what goes where on the dinner table, the planning and serving of four different varieties of food-all phases of home-making were discussed at the monthly business meeting. This learning was put into practice by preparing the refreshments for school parties and other social events. During their lei- sure time the girls provided the Red Cross with twelve cardboard covers and thirty-six wash cloths which were sent to veterans' hospitals anywhere in the United States. Because all work and no play makes Iill a dull girl, a monthly social meeting was held, where, under supervision of a social committee, entertaining events were planned, among which was a theatre party. Students and faculty were delighted with a new form of entertainment which was created when the Craft Club exhibited their products. let propelled model racers zooming down the halls after class hours gave the on-lookers entertain- ment as Well as a little education on jet propul- sion. Model boats and airplanes were among the hand-made products of this new and en- tirely ditferent club, comprised mainly of junior high boys. Since these two clubs offer something unique in the way of educating one's self it is hoped they are here to stay. Not only are they an as- set to the school, but the work accomplished within these two organizations is an asset to the minds of the participating students.

Literary ability and photographic talent joined forces in publicizing and informing the towns- people how and where their youth receive an education. Town and out-of-town students work- ing side by side pooled their several abilities to make possible the Hilltop and the Lion. The Hilltop, the school newspaper, proved its motto, Back all school activities, by present- ing monthly eight pages full of the latest news, sports, and feature events. Although the staff is made up primarily of seniors, their ideas being augmented by contributions from journalism groups of underclassmen, the juniors and sopho- mores each had the opportunity to edit one edition. In return for the financial aid that our businessmen gave us through advertising, the staff strove to give the up-to-the-minute picture of a progressive school and student body. Giving a more philosophical view of school life but Without losing the zest and appeal of news writing was the job of the annual Lion. Beginning in their junior year, the staff used foresight plus a high amount of imagination in planning and preparing for the grand project. Ideas, written and verbal, were expressed, each one receiving serious thought and concentration before a definite one was chosen as the major theme. The theme, which comprises a major de- cision, Was only the beginning. Came Septem- ber, articles were assigned, information and data was uncovered and the writing began. The months whizzed by, the writing continued, and soon March l5, the deadline, was coming un- comfortably close.

LION photographer Guy Doug- las is on the lookout for pic- tures at a home football game. Staffs of both student publications recognized, and indeed were indebted to a third party, a party who had so nobly contributed to the cause of publicizing our school. The Photo Club, con- sisting of approximately a dozen individuals, contributed pictures of all kinds to both staffs. Only the best were selected, each one being weighed for its value in giving an authentic view of high school life. Many and varied have been the experiences of those connected with these publications. There is always the thrill of having your first article accepted by the newspaper, or the very won- derful feeling that you have been chosen a top- ranking member of the staff. And the photog- raphers-they get into the oddest situations just to get a coveted picture. David and Guy refused to be thwarted by a mere mile of mud too deep for driving--so they walked for Wadedl ..... they got the picture. When the cartons of year- books arrive in May, it's hard to tell who is more excited, but it doesn't take long for the under- classmen to begin haunting the seniors for their reserved copies. All in all this publicity is a great business.

Service to our school demands the utmost co-operation between town students and the out-of-towners. Our three leading service organ- izations gave all participating a lesson in co- operation and working to benefit everyone. The Iunior Red Cross, student patrol and library as- sistants provided tasks to those interested in the work they represented. The Iunior Red Cross carried on its many ac- tivities through the Red Cross sponsors, two of which were elected from each home room. In the early part of the year money was collected, a large portion of it going to the National Chil- drens' Fund to be used mainly for clothing or any other necessity. A small percentage was used for the publication of the Red Cross Iour- nal, the monthly magazine sent to all schools. The remainder was spread out and contributed to other Iunior Red Cross activities. Other organ- izations assisted the Iunior Red Cross in carry- ing out its program by contributing articles to be circulated at home and abroad. Volunteer service by four boys again enabled the safety patrol, in its second year of organiza- tion, to perform the duty of protecting the town's youth. Rain, snow, sleet or hail, the patrolmen, unmistakable in their Sam Brown white belts, guarded the dangerous intersections of Charles Street, First Avenue and the Square. Trained and assisted by local policemen, the boys had the added duty of keeping tabs on the older generation, who through reckless driving en- dangered the lives of the small children. The student librarians, another volunteer group, did an equally important job on the in- side. Aside from their regular job of checking books in and out, the girls decorated the library in accordance with the holidays and exhibited timely posters and pictures and various subjects. The results of the accomplishments of these groups carried not only to their alma mater but reached to the far corners of the earth. Children across the seas voiced their appreciation through letters, which Miss Myers, faculty advisor for Red Cross activities, received, each expressing the hope that the work would continue. Every student, faculty member, and townsman recog- nized the helping hand of these service groups. SCHOOL PATROL-Left: .lim Rost of the A.

Although we know a school is primarily for educational purposes, we cannot help but ad- mire the musical programs of various schools throughout the country. It is with this extracur- ricular activity that the majority of the students find their outlet for recreation. There are many phases of music available to all today, from vocal and choral work to instru- mentations and band work. There are many out- lets in the field of music, and five of them are found in R. L. H. S. Town students as well as out-of-town students combine their talents to produce music satisfying to all tastes, whether it be a military march, a lilting waltz, or jive. The senior band and the senior glee club represent the mature partners of the big five. Meeting every Vifednesday morning, the band began its l947-48 term with football songs and marches. After football season terminated, the blaring marches and snappy street beats were replaced by the deep stirring music of the masters such as Tschaikowsky and Bach. Popular renditions by the lighter composers such as Ierome Kern also received a great amount of time and work. Likewise the glee club members in their Mon- day morning practices exposed themselves to music of the old world as well as the new. Rounds and spirituals were given to these youth- ful vocalists to be sung in the appropriate mood. These two organizations had many activities throughout the school year. Aside from the Night of Music, which is the climax of the year's en- deavors in musical settings, they added color to various other programs. For the Christmas pro- gram, a select group from the senior high glee club provided the musical background for the various scenes. Also other activities were well received by the many music lovers in the high school. Working in harmony with each other is more essential in music than anything else. To pro- duce melodic choral fantasies or robust songs of the sea, there must be complete cooperation between both members and instructor. This past year, a new musical supervisor, Mr. Robert Sur- plus received the cooperation of all those under his baton, and faculty as well. The result was the three fine senior high musical organizations, The annual Night of Music reaches a highly successful climax as the grade school choir, junior and senior glee clubs, and the senior band join in the finale Holy Lord God.

Perhaps the smallest of our music groups is the dance band. Different in style and rhythm, this unique fifteen provided jive and dream-time music ior school social affairs. Not limiting itself to school events, the dance band played musi- cal host at the Gettysburg press conference, Red Lion Business Show and other out-ol-town engagements. These three senior high musical organizations are only a part of the school's well-balanced musical program providing ballads, overtures, and jive for the enjoyment of everyone.

Through this program, young hopefuls are given the experience and elementary training to give them some idea of what the senior organizations are like. There are three junior musical organizations -the orchestra, junior band, and junior glee club. These three, aside from preparing students in the fundamentals of music, contribute their part in our well-rounded musical program. As was mentioned before, the junior band repre- sents the big step to be needed before entrance into the senior band. Easier but not less enjoy- able music was on the program for these hope- fuls, and advanced training in the art of playing their instruments was given as they progressed. The junior glee club follows much in this same pattern. It represents the stepping-stone to the senior glee club, the aim of many musically- inclined students. This organization trains the vocal talent of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Last but not least is the only indepen- dent organization of this group. This is the or- chestra, which does not have a senior group. These symphonic starters gave us music with the soft and mellow effect, adding to the corn- plete music picture of Red Lion High. it DANCE BAND-Top Front: Kenneth Kurtz, David Myers, Janice Wagner, Ruth Harbaugh, Robert Craley, Gene Cooper, Betty Jane Knisely, Dorcas LaMotte, vocalist.

On March 12 and 13, all these groups joined forces With the grade school choir and put on the annual Night of Music. It is the custom for outstanding senior musicians to appear on the program as soloists at this time. For weeks previous the auditorium rang with the choruses aimed at this memorable event, and interested onlookers in rooms nearby heard the grand finale being brought to perfection. AS in R. L. H.

Is the hand quicker than the eye? Twenty-two junior high boys thought so and set out to prove it by organizing the Magic Club. The services of faculty member Francis Miller were called upon. Every second and fourth Tuesday found the young enthusiasts listening and taking mental notes of the tricks, eager to try for themselves. Since the meetings were held Within school time, rural boys contributed their talent and joined forces with the in-towners to become miniature Houdinis. Mr. Miller, an excellent magician him- self, literally held his pupils bug-eyed as he demonstrated tricks of magic using coins, play- ing cards, balls, and other magical accessories. Not satisfied with teaching them only the tricks he went further and taught them the do's and don't's of the trade. Though tricks of magic are usually secretive things, the boys were given a chance to exhibit their accomplishments in an assembly held late in the spring. The first and third Tuesdays found cr goodly number of interested junior philatelists swap- ping stamps, and placing them in their own stamp collections. Outside regularly scheduled meetings these stamp enthusiasts were found uncovering historical material in the library, studying approval sheets and of course using that old stand-by of stamp collectors-digging out old letters. A special invitation was issued to the various home rooms for contributions of stamps. This netted some interesting additions to the students' collections. Special interests clubs extended into the se- nior high with the formation of the drill team. This club was organized to create interest in military drilling and ultimately aimed at repre- senting Red Lion High School at parades and other events.

These three clubs all represent Wholesome ways of receiving entertainment as Well as an education While in school. Activity period took on a new significance by providing time for par- ticipants in these three activities, which by con- tinued interest of the students Will grow and become a permanent part of school lite.

All work and no play makes lack a dull boy. The assembly committee remembered this familiar saying and as a result chose highly entertaining movies, speakers, plays, and dem- onstrations for our enjoyment in assembly. Start- ing the parade of assemblies was an alumni assembly in which former students of Red Lion High displayed their various talents-talents cultivated in high school and developed after graduation. Teachers, representing different departments, conducted assemblies usually typical of the work carried on. The do's and don't's of a good secretary was the commercial contribution. Two social problems, the marriage and the di- vorce, Were given in full by fifteen seniors, all P. O. D. students who were currently studying the problems. In a surprise assembly Dr. Barbara De Remer, a medical missionary in India, gave an interest- ing and general talk on India. Her experiences, both humorous and serious, were related to an enthralled audience. Then there followed the always very special occasion of going to the Municipal Building for assembly. The first of these was an illustrated lecture on wild life by Mr. Bob Ford, who used motion pictures and stills in illustrating his talk. Following this came the Polomeme Potters in the visualization of the oldest existing craftg Robert Edgar's lecture and demonstration of the 200-inch telescope on Mount Palomar, Califor- niag the Ambassador Quartet, singers and bell ringersg and in conclusion William Wallace's marvels of memory. Then, too, throughout the year such annual assemblies as the Christmas program and the Easter play are presented. This year the Christ- mas program used a Christmas in the home set- ting. The dialogue was frequented with familiar Christmas carols. Again the Easter play was under the supervision of Miss Reiver and fol- lowed the traditional serious theme. ln a third specially scheduled program students recorded a poetry program for later broadcast over a York station. Radio comes to Red Lion,' under Ray Zaner's supervision several senior high poets make ready to record a Poet Scout broadcast. The Easter play provides a serious and timely reminder ot the occasion for the students just before vacation. Pottery making is demonstrated and explained by Mr. and Mrs. Sawhill, noted Polomeme Potters. P. O. D. class representatives hold a panel discussion on social problems for the benefit of the student body. The cast of the Christmas play be- come involved in the trials and trib- ulations of gilt giving. Dr. Barbara De Remer relates expe- riences as medical missionary in India. Co-captain Blessing presents foot- ball trophies to Mr. Moore and Mr. Kulp for the school. Alumni assembly features Attorney S. S. Laucks, .lr., Mr. Moore, Miss Keeports, soloist Wilton Thompson, and pianist Donald Warner. Mr. Kulp presents award to Doris Crawford for winning a Hilltop contest. Mr. Bob Ford poses for cameraman following his lecture on wild life. Despite weather's holding up school buses carrying part of the per! farmers, the home ec program gets under way. Presentation of sports awards is an annual occasion. Homer Miller receives the Legion award in junior high. Junior and senior high students at- tend special assembly program- Rabert Edgar's explanation of the Mount Palomar telescope-in the Municipal Building. Sr L IL which are next to appear, Are held for the students throughout the school year. The idea of a social committee composed of a few faculty members and a representative from each class came into existence last year and rated sufficiently successful to be repeated. This group sets up the social calendar for the school year, and from then on works hand in hand with the class officers to arrange the various dance committees. The juniors opened the R. L. H. S. social sea- son with the Fall Dance, outstanding for its pro- gram featuring a zany comedy stunt of six beau- tiful Hungarian dancers falias six senior boysl and the faculty ballad singer, le professeur francais, Mr. Miller. The second social event was the G. A. A. sponsored Football Dance, at which time all sorts of entertainment were pre- sented by the court to the imaginary king of football, and imaginary he was-the postpone- ment of the West York game forwarded to a later date the crowning of the football king. Getting away from the hilarious comedy idea, the Christmas Dance was given a quiet setting. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus opened the evening by reminiscing and checking their gift list, and later on group singing of Christmas songs, old and new, brought the dance to a fitting end. Then on February l4 a fanfare from the trum- pets, a hushed audience and then a loud cheer announced the crowning of the king and queen of hearts. From their most attractively decorated throne Ruth Kurtz and Sherdell Snyder reigned over the Valentine Dance. These affairs, together with the journalism group's Spring Frolic and the junior high's Hallowe'en Party, Valentine Dance, and April Fool's Party, offered a rather full schedule for party-goers, climaxed by the junior-senior Prom on May 21, the most-looked-forward-to event of all four years. When the singing of Auld Lang Syne at the Prom brought down the curtain of an almost perfect social season, out-of-towners shook hands with the native Red Lioners who had Worked together on committees and said, job well done. It took both of us to do the work. All for fun and fun for all. i SOCIAL ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE -Standing: Mr. Adams, Miss Myers, Miss Farlling, Mr. Moore. Seated: Ned Seitz, Thomas Overlander, Patsy Marsteller, Jean Austin, Mary Ann Dixon, Donald Tollinger. Senior class decorators deck the walls with boughs of pine the after- noon before the gala Christmas Dance. Erstwhile pigskin tossers were meta- morphosed into cheerleaders for the Football Dance. Fall Dance moves into full swing as couples dance around a party be- decked corn shock. The Spring Frolic with its cabaret setting offered something novel in the line of school parties. The Christmas Dance with all the trimmings helps celebrate the Yule- tide season. Students, faculty, and alumni take advantage of the labors of the re- freshment committee. The Queen and King of Hearts, Ruth Kurtz and Sherdell Snyder, pose with their predecessors and attendants. Cupid's Nightmares fMarsteller's brain child! go through their routine at the Valentine Dance. Junior high forms a food line in the hall for Valentine refreshments. Last but not least as this school record stops, I Come r for students wl'1o've proved Themselves tops. Clubs and activities give unlimited opportu- nity for student participation. Student achieve- ment and reward also are not limited to class or clique. Honor comes either in a form of a sports and music letter or entrance into our two honor organizations, the National Honor Society or National Athletic Scholarship Society. Though a certain scholarship rating must be maintained, this alone is not sufficient for N. H. S. membership as leadership, character and ser- vice are also of vital importance. Application of these qualifications in school is not enough, use of them in the home and town is considered equally important by the seven faculty members Whose task it is to select the honor students for the society. Early in February the committee made known the five juniors and eight seniors to be added to three senior members selected last year. A brother to the N. H. S. is the National Ath- letic Scholarship Society. Ability in sports is the predominant qualification, but above average grades and personality are also considered. Competition is stiff, the membership limited, and boys selected are accepted as being the best examples of standards set by the society. Three seniors and two underclassmen qualified for membership making a total of twelve for the organizations. The number is small, but this is balanced by the high standards and many competitors. Those whose goal was realized by becoming a mem- ber of either one of the honor organizations have reason to be proud. However, those not so fortunate need not become discouraged for by applying themselves the best they know how, honor automatically becomes theirs. New members of the NATlx ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP SOCr. are notified of their attainment a meeting with other members a organization advisors.
