The warm evening made him sleepy and he began to daydream. His dreams were of the past and his schooldays at Red Lion High School. His grandcubs began pestering him for a story and their insistent growling brought him to reality with a start. To silence their demands, he recounted his dayclreams. We of the Lion stall have faithfully copied his stories, word by word. He gave an interesting account of student life at our high school and we have used his narrative as the backbone of our ,55 yearbook. If you will turn the pages one by one, you will come to page seven, where we began to recount the first of The Tales of the Lionf' Administration . . . Senlors Underclassmen .... Activities ......

Reiver, B.S., M.A. Teacher in Red Lion Schools from 1918 to 1954 Thou art not idle: in thy higher sphere Thy spirit bends itself to loving tasks, And strength to perfect what it dreamed of here Is all the crown and glory that it asks. -James Russell Lowell 19 w X fff-1 , Qi ffl K Cf fa' K . f74 , 1 V . 1 4 K Q W ,V M JI 3i5 . 1- QP Q SENIORS ay back in the year 1951, in a land of not so very make believe, 145 eager and carefree cubs gamboled up the hill, poked their noses through the door, and began their careers as freshmen in Red Lion High School. That first year they certainly were an energetic and industri- ous pack of young lions, scampering over the campus in their ex- citement, meeting new classmates, winning a prize for their float in the West York pep rally, joining various clubs, and becoming ac- quainted with new and different studies. By the time they were sophomores, the cubs settled down a little more, realizing suddenly they were in their first year of senior high . . . new privileges and also new responsibilities. Then came the exciting junior year, with a taste of work on the Hilltop staff. Some members of the class were elected to the honor societies, and others with dramatic ability were seen in the class play. i Then, all too soon came the year when they were senior lions, a year full of fun and hard work. The Lion, Hilltop, play, dances, games, all the excitement, anxiety, and worry of being a senior . . . finally fulfilled. Yet l'll always remember them as my little cubs.

To begin with, these young cubs were divided into dif- ferent groups, the youngest having been the seventh and eighth graders. They teased their older classmates. But that isn't all they did. Oh my no! They worked hard, especially on their floats for the pep parade. They tried so hard to beat the freshmen. Speaking of the freshmen-they were capable cubs. Many had to become acquainted with the school. They felt lost the first few days but soon knew their way around. - Sophomores were tackling their lirst year in high school. What a job! Whether they were silly or sophisticated, one could tell they were sophomores. A jolly bunch, the juniors! They put on their Hrst play, and they helped with the school newspaper-capering cubs in '55 but capable s'eniors in '56. These Happy Juniors The eleventh year was a busy, exciting, and won- derful one for the 191 JUNIORS. These cubs were almost bursting with enthusiasm. They put on their first play, HR:-imshackle Inn, sponsored the Valentine dance, and attended their first prom. However, this class was not only interested in the social life. They began to think seriously about a vocation, college, and the future in general. Most of all, though, they were waiting breathlessly until the time came for them to be seniors.

SOPHOMORES usually are a curious mixture of silliness and sophistication, carefreeness and capabil- ity. This year's gang was no exception. Of course, they were a little confused by the new and wonderful va- riety of activities and classes that awaited them in senior high. However, they began wholeheartedly to take advantage of the opportunities. The sophomore's Biology program was one of the bright spots on the assembly calendar. These youngsters rolled up their sleeves and pitched into the work of carrying a share of senior high responsibilities. Having big responsibilities for their class are Thomas Tol- linger, presidentg Jane Neely, treasurerg Michael Laucks, vice- P residentg and Linda Burg, secretary. A project this year in biology was the dis- 1 secting of fish. Donald Henshaw gazes thought- fully at his specimen before he goes to work. A Carefree And Happy Group Above-Joanne Gemmill was crowned May Queen of Homeroom 207 last year by Ronald Golden, home- room president. The sophomore's biology assembly was a science quiz contest. Here quizmaster Thomas Tollinger questions James Melhorn. The contest ended with the girls thrashing the fellows 1,441 to l,l00.

They were confused, at first, by the new routine, the many interesting organizations and extra-curricular activities, as well as by the huge school itself. How- ever, after having made a crowd of new friends, their shyness vanished and they joined wholeheartedly in the fun. There were many new and strange classes this year, but the Freshmen took to these like a duck takes to water. And, after they become familiar with the new clothing fads, the various expressions, the new teachers, and the many other customs and habits, it became rather diliicult to distinguish them as Fresh- men. ln the next three years, they are due for much more fun and added, lasting friendships at Red Lion Area High School.

Being old hands in the junior high school, the eighth graders lived up to the expectations and went in whole-heartedly for every activity and sport they could possibly enter. These young cubs were great joiners. With their co-workers, the seventh grade, they won the junior high prize for their float in the pep parade. At every football, basketball, and baseball game they cheered the team on to victory. At the high school dances or wherever there was a crowd, you could depend upon seeing the vivacious eighth graders. The girls had their first crushes on handsome teachers while the boys were busily making mischief. During the year they learned to keep their noise down and their spirits upg while they looked forward to becoming freshmen.

Now, at last, they felt that they belonged. New classes with a new time schedule, activity periods, clubs, the honor roll, assemblies, dances, pep rallies, intramurals, were nothing but words that took life for them with startling suddenness. As these young inquisitive cubs scurried around the halls, they sometimes had a rather shy and scared look. But as time went by, they soon lost some of their shyness and pitched into school affairs with the spirit of 86 lively cubs. These game cubs made a name for themselves and fast became a real attribute to their school. Choral reading in seventh grade English class . . .

Those with a musical flair had a variety of 'musical organizations to join. There were glee clubs, bands, and an orchestra. The literary lions were on the Hilltop and Yearbook Staffs. The shutter bug cubs formed a Photogra- phy Club, which worked with the Yearbook Staff. There were clubs for lions interested in magic, dramatics, li- brary work, farming, dancing, homemaking, and student govern- ment. Numerous activities were sponsored by the various clubs, which gave the power-packed cubs on the hill plenty to keep them busy. In fact some of the cubs were in so many clubs and activities, I could never understand when they found time to study. Stirring arch Melodies . Clarinets . . .

I' The Senior Band-One of the most color- ful organizations at Red Lion Area High. A sight which we would all thrill to, was these musicians, dressed in their brand new gold and black uniforms, bearing shining brass instruments, and playing the familiar songs of our school. Many were the exciting adventures for its members-numerous bus trips, parades, marching practices and intricate formations on the football field. Never tiring but always pushing forward for improvement, were these Htalented noise makers? Each member was as proud and thrilled to wear the school colors as the spectators were to view their many per- formances, and to lend an ear to the exciting melodies and familiar tunes of our school.

The Accompanist Club, organized this fall, proved itself to be one of our more important clubs. It was the job of this organization to provide accom- panists for our various choruses and glee clubs at their performances. These people were very ener- getic, and certainly did a fine piece of work. The accompanist club was an essential part of the enter- tainment field at Red Lion Area High.

This chorus was a sister-organization to the mixed chorus and was also under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Adams. Tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade girls were eligible, but no girl could belong to both the Girls' and the Mixed Chorus. This group sang at the Night of Music and for several special programs. Seventy-three lovely girls in their fancy dresses, singing so well, was really something to see and hear. But this didn't just happen! It took practice, practice, practice.

Each Thursday morning the members met to discuss and try to solve the problems of the school. A suggestion box was set up in the library and was checked every week before the meeting.

Hilltop Staff Lions with a nose for news made up the staff of the HILLTOP. It can truly be said that blood, sweat, toil, and tears went into each edition of the paper, which was published monthly. Every Tues- day the staffs met and the various departments worked on assignments. What could not be done in class was worked on outside of school. The junior journalists, who met with the senior staff members, got some pointers on the publication of a paper, and also lent a helping hand whenever needed. There was fun too . . . the Press Confer- ence at Spring Grove and each person's suspense and pride when the paper came out. JUNIOR STAFF-Front: Jane Anstine, Suzanne Stemer, Gloria Hoffman.

Lion Staff Before the school term was ended last year ideas were flying and plans were being tentatively made for the yearbook. All through the summer the stall' worked industriously on their brain child, the Lion of 1955. Upon the return to school the staff members worked harder than ever. The make- up staff planned and drew and drew and planned, until finally the skeleton of the book emerged. The editorial staff frantically wrote and rewrote, dreaming up clever ideas and desperately trying to meet deadlines. Photographers shot picture after picture. The other departments, business and typing, gave hours of their time toward making the Lion a finished product. Finally, after much worry, wear and tear, and discouraging moments, the Lion rolled off the press.

He and his cubs can usually be found around school, camera in hand, look- ing for a good shot, or in the darkroom de- veloping and enlarging that picture.

When the last curtain closed and all the scenery had been dismantled and packed away, Mr. Dalton Landis and his boys breathed a well-earned sigh of relief and felt the thrill of having been able to participate in all major pro- ductions. n E e For Publicity The ADVERTISING CLUB, sponsored by Miss Espenshade, was kept busy all year.

So my counterparts were the many fine athletes who proudly wore our gold and black colors in football, baseball, golf, baseketball, and track. You see, it was the job of the school to turn out cubs who improved physically as well as mentally. The coaches would take our young cubs, many of whom were awkward and nervous, and try to turn them into great teams. What a task! What a task! Sports were an important part of school life. The bleachers were always filled to capacity with our little lions cheering the teams on to victory. Their co-operation was appreciated. Now, dear readers, if you will turn the following pages, you will find a more detailed discussion of each of these and pictures of what really happened. if 4331, 'HN ff Q , . v fm 1 X-5 i, it All U 'f I lllngkitfslfw 3 tk 5 M 4 'flkmfgil-I ram . ,iw wwf, X.. 1 My W t as 4 bsgxrrw W X X 4 The Lions Leap lnto Action .....

Hoop Hopes The '54-'55 BASKETBALL squads went onto the hardwood in the first home games with Central and right smack into their first defeats. The West York game at West York proved to be a close one but a loss. Bur- dened with their second defeat, the Varsity, J. V.'s, and Jr. High teams met Dover and all walked off with honors. Red Lion defeated Susquehannock but the Alumni and Spring Grove games were one point leads for the visitors. At Kennard-Dale the game ended with a minus 6 for Red Lion. With the last half of the sched- ule left, Red Lion still has a chance to call it a winning season. Sorry we couldn't finish the season but we have to go to press. Above . . .

In 1954, our lions en- tered four of these meets and captured two first place awards, one second place, and one third place. Not a bad showing at all! Those cubs spent many long, hard hours after school, hard at work but their record shows that this time certainly wasnit wasted. Coach Harold Myers can point with honest pride to the job he and his twenty-three cubs have done. To hurl a hardwood plate for any distance requires both strength and ability.

These cubs were all enthusiastic and capable, and they did a really wonderful job. The highlight of the last season was their IIVZ-3M victory over East Berlin in an exhibition match. Golf, as a sport in our school, celebrated its fifth birthday this year. S l if If f X rub 1 EZ' , '- x, Charles Zarfos prepares to tee off as Red Lion plays East Berlin.

In order to be eligible, one had to be outstanding in a sport of his choice and had to earn a varsity letter. Admittance to this society was a great honor.

INTRAMURALS . . . the sports program, over oontime Activities . . the noon hour. Each homeroom had a team which participated in the various sports. The teams were awarded two points for each win and five points for each championship. At the end of the year the points were totaled and the highest senior and junior high homerooms received a plaque. The girls played basket- ball, softball, kick ball, and volley ballg the boys par- ticipated in football, basketball, wrestling, and volley ball. Both boys and girls took part in the foul shoot- ing contest, our champions going to York for further competition. Sometimes, instead of sports, there was dancing for everyone. The entire program was greatly appreciated by the students. A tense moment, as the junior and senior championship volleyball teams battle for the senior high championship.

Feminine orld of Sports Sporting one of the largest memberships of any organization was the G.A.A .... GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. Senior high girls were eligible to join, and soon after school began, officers were elected and a busy schedule was put into action. Miss Nancy Mitchell and Miss Anita Winings, advisors for the organization, set up teams and tournaments for basket- ball, volleyball, and softball. Excitement ran high dur- ing the championship play-offs and the all-star games. Something new, inaugurated this year, was the train- ing of girls who were interested in oiliciating at games. The '4Lion's Big Nightf, the annual football dance, was sponsored by the G.A.A .... an outstanding event. G.A.A.

This club was made up of a group of girls from which a smaller group was chosen as the cheer- leading squad. The other members continued practic- ing in a club period with the hope of being chosen as cheerleaders next year. Many victories were Won with the aid of this group, and their efforts will net results in future contests. Linda Fregm, Miss Mitchell.

The oldest grandcub was usually the last to doze off, but even he was sound asleep. The lion leaned back and sighed as his thoughts roamed to his youth. He thought of many marvelous things he had forgotten to tell the youngsters until now. He laughed as he thought of a funny incident when he was a sophomoreg but a tear came to his eye when he remembered commencement. After a while he fell asleep, and from his expression, one could tell he was having pleasant dreams. The old lion and his staff hope you have enjoyed our book, 4'Tales of the Lioni' because it really is the story of the class of '55. A v +L I diss . 1 .
