l l These willing monitors guide each day 6 l Q iazjfjll The eager students along fhie way. AD M ll N Il STRMVII U N Almost three score years ago our forefathers planned for this town a high school, dedicated to the hundreds of generations to follow. 'l'he Fort Sumpter school was the immediate result. Lateri changes and additions have constantly imprbved the system, and today's students find numerous advantages never dreamed of by thosd students of 1898. As'we look back upon the scenes of R. L. H. Si, it is realized that always behind the action there was the progressive school board, supplemented by a well trained teaching per- sonnel. Advancing but never retreating, the school has come out on top-from a six mem- ber fheulty to a fifty-one, from a four room building to a fifty-one, from a graduating class of five to one of a hundred and forty-three. Our supervising principal, Dan B. Kulp, B.S., M.A., is kept quite busy with his many school duties, but finds time to be active in the social and civic affairs of Red Lion. A 77 Page 8
