ASSEMBLIES, CONCERTS AND A NIGHT OF MUSIC . . . these make for a more interesting year of activities. There was the Easter program in which Dramatic Club members, assisted by the chorus, presented a play symbol- izing the mistaken ideas of discipleship. Guestwise, we had Jack Rank in a professional assembly, portraying charac- ters in scenes from Shakespeare. Our Future Farmers also took the stage to outline their activities by skits and com- mentary. Spring is the time for concerts which have become more or less traditional. The Sunday afternoon band concert scheduled for the park was rained into the auditorium, and the audience exchanged outdoor atmosphere for comforta- ble chairs. The big moment for the department came on April 30 when the Night of Music gave all our young musicians a chance to shine. The program featured choruses, instrumental groups, several solos, and was topped off with a majestic combined number. Coming down the platform from the white arch and vine-covered arbor are Gloria Gipe and her wee friend . . . in their assembly, the F.H.A. girls model the clothes which they have made in home ec. The Mixed Chorus on the risers and the Girls Chorus on the left and right stage aprons blend their voices with the band in the grand finale at the close of the long-to-be remembered Night of Music. 15

THEY BRING THE TROPHY TO HORACE MANN AVENUE . . . and this means one more for our thriving collection. To coin a phrase They said it couldn't be donef' but this didn't hold water with our Lions and their coach, Mr. Fitzkee. They practically monopolized the Southern Divi- sion all season and captured its title for the fourth year running. Our capable record iixer, Floyd Warner, didn't have much Work this season in the replacing department. The records were almost a pleasure to keep, if that's possi- ble. However, our good season did have some faults, or you might say disappointments. Our old time rival and next door neighbor, Dallastown, managed to sneak a loss into the Lionis eleven game winning streak during our bid to become champs. Even though this became the first county baseball trophy to enhance the growing display of awards in our new trophy case, it was our ninth county award in the last thirty years. In a thriller with North- eastern, the Northern Division champs, at Small's Athletic Field before a relatively small crowd of fans, the Lions combined not only teamwork but individual skill to out- maneuver their invading rivals and clinch the penant. How- ever, all good things must come to an end and so a reward- ing season came to a close and our team finished in a Larry Orwig races home as the opponent ' ' th' ' h' catcher waits for the throw from his team- Wmnmg Way' bo In record and Compamons lp' mate in the championship game at Smal1's Athletic Field. Gary Warner scores one of the two runs which the Lions received in the game with our close rivals from Dallastown when Red Lion lost by a heart-breaking score of four to two. 17
