THE Lili An Outstanding Student LOOK OUT FOR THAT CAR V Linda Ebaugh is a talented and ambitious senior who has earned many awards for her outstanding achievements in the 4-H program and for her fine livestock exhibitions. In 1974, Linda won a trip to the Chicago Livestock Exhibition for her first prize demonstration on sheep that she presented to the Pa. Key- stone Livestock Association. While at Chicago, she won first place in her division. Also in 1974, Linda received the Outstanding Leadership Award in York County 4-H. ' The year 1975 brought Linda the Keystone Award in Agriculture and Sheep, and the Overall Outstanding Girl in York County 4-H. She also won the State Blocking and Groom- ing Contest in sheep at the Pa. Farm Show. In 1976, Linda won the Pa. 'Key- stone Award in Sheep and Achieve- ment. Her prize was a trip to Chicago. She was named the Out- standing Youth Exhibitor at the York Interstate Fair, and was thus entitled to a trip to the North American Livestock Exposition held in Louisville, Kentucky. Linda has worked hard in the 4-H program and has carried projects such as beef, sheep, veterinary sci- ence, child care, physical fitness, foods, clothing, vegetables, tractor, teen leadership, horse, dairy, handy- man, candles, and outdoor cooking. She has been the York County Teen Agent for the last three years, a job which entails the planning of County 4-H events. Although Linda is busy with these various activities, she finds time to study and to hold a part time job. She plans to attend Penn State to major in animal science and possibly go on to veterinary school. In Pennsylvania, seventeen year olds are able to get a senior license if they have passed a driving pro- gram that consists of 30 hours of classroom instruction, six hours of practice driving, and six hours of driving observation. At Red Lion, students are required to take a semester of Safety Educa- tion, which meets the classroom requirements, and are given the option of taking Driver's Education for a semester to meet the driving and observation requirements. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Thomas teach Driver's Ed. on a full-time basis, while Mr. Bieda, Mr. Hall, :md Mr. Sinibaldi teach it only part time. Together, these men supervise about 20,000 miles of driving per year. Over the past years there have been no major accidents, although a few comical incidents have arisen such as the time Mr. Hall ran off the road and into a ditch and a tractor had to be employed to pull the car back on the road. Also, in an incident occuring only five miles from school, Mr. Bieda and the two students he was instructing ran out of gas. Mr. Johnson had to rescue them. Mr. Thomas says as a rule, our students are safe drivers when with us. I hope they are safe when they are on their own. Students Tour Europe With Mrs. Fox The summer of 1976 was an ex- citing season for some students from Red Lion who participated in a trip to Europe. Supervised by Mrs. Fox, the group left New York in a 747 jet bound for London. Their experiences here included touring Westminster Abby, the London Tower, and look- ing at Big Ben. Entertainment in- cluded a musical called Billy, Next step-Paris. The students gained much knowledge by touring the Lourve museum, Eiffel Tower and the Arch de Triomphe. Germany proved to be an inter- esting country for the students. A cruise down the Rhine enabled them to view the countryside of castles, villages and vineyards. When in Munich, they were able to see the Olympic grounds, an Impression- istic Art Gallery, and several palaces. The students got a real taste of native life when they arrived in Steinach, Austria because they lived with native families. while visiting this country, they were able to see a folk concert, a Tyrolean dance show and actually did some mountain climbing in the Alpines. - The last country they visited be- fore heading home was Italy. They toured Venice, Florence, Piza, and Rome. Some of the Roman sights they saw were the Colosseum, Pal- antine Hill, Catacombs, the Circus Maximus, and Vatican City. One month after departure, the students landed back in the U.S., perhaps a little weary, a bit less wealthy but certainly more enlight- ened on European ways. Students from Red Lion who toured Europe were: Kathy Walker, Sharon Ehrhart, Cheryl Young, Laurie Poet, Regina McPherson, Tammy Weiler, Pam Trone, Lynn Saylor, Alicia Winter, Peggy Kel- ler, Kathy McMurphy, Marci Ryer, Cary Gordon, and Steve Amspacker. u I A NEW APPROACH TO SWIMMING CLASSES Don't be surprised if you walk into the swimming pool area and see students learning to snorkle. This is all part of the new swimming pro- gram started this year. Instead of just the deep-end and shallow-end classes, V instructors Mr. Robert Clark and Mrs. Peggy Neff have started two new classes. The Pre-lifesaving class provides an introduction to the Red-Cross Lifesaving course. Among the skills learned are distance swimming, rescue approaches, carries and tows of conscious, semi-conscious, and struggling victims, lifts of uncon- scious persons onto the deck of the pool and artificial respiration. The second new class is Water Sports and Games, which provides experienced swimmers a period of fun and learning. In addition to learning five basic strokes, students participate in water polo, water basketball, diving, skin diving, boat- ing, and other relays and games. These classes are eligible only to students who are able to swim. They enable students to use pre- viously learned skills for their own enjoyment and pleasure. Since most students will be eligible for the two new classes new year, they should be even more success- ful than they were this year.

xmas nturcais I On July 4, 1976, 17 students ac- companied by Miss Mary Thoman, left Harrisburg International Air- port for a ten day tour of Mexico. They visited the Shrine of Guada- lupe, the Plaza of Three Cultures, the National Cathedral, the Pyra- mids, and other major attractions in and near Mexico City. The group traveled to Taxco, the Silver Capital of the World g then to Acapulco for a day of tropical sun! They returned to Mexico City and toured the Floating Gardens, Uni- versity City, and Telvca Indian Mar- ket. On July 10, they passed through customs and returned home. The students from RLASHS were Val Dunn, Jane Epiey, Kim Frey, Amy Shaffer, Cecilia Grace, Mar- lene Gutierrez, Carol Thomas, Ter- esa Cottrell, Penny Smith, Kathy Runkle, Crystal Chronister, Karen Hare, Vicki Wagner, Scott Burk, John Doll, Brian Leiphart, and Gavin Markey. It comes as no surprise to any of you that we were given an unsched- uled vacation during January. Gov- ernor Shapp closed all schools in Pennsylvania due to the extreme cold weather during that month. The measure was taken to save fuel. All of us were affected by the frigid temperatures. In an effort to conserve fuel, President Carter requested that all thermostats be set back to 650 f. because in some parts of the country there was fear of running out of natural gas. Red Lion School District felt the effects of the emergency gas situation and the senior high, which normally runs on natural gas, was converted to oil. Two elementary schools, Gable and Moore, were closed 5 days longer than the other schools in the dis- trict, requiring students from these schools to be bussed to other elemen- tary schools for half-day sessions. The high school did its best to help out. If you had occasion to get FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA EXCEL Members of the Future Farmers of America dedicate much of their time and labor to interesting pro- jects and activities which bring them both prizes and self-satisfac- tion. They participate in various conventions and competitions that are held on a state or national basis. This summer, one Red Lion mem- ber out of every eight participated in a state-wide convention held at Penn State. In the course of three days, they took part in many farm related contests, athletic events, and concluded their stay with a tour of the campus. Our members faired well, winning many medals, awards, and trips. Not long after the convention our FFA'ers were back in school and off to the York Fair, where, again, they did well. Tom Arnold received first place in the corn judging contest. Becky Aults won first place in Livestock Judging with her steer. In the swine sale and show, Leon Crowl received the highest bid of 31.25 per pound, rather than the regular price of 3.38 per pound. Brenda Walter was the first Red Lion member to win both the Beef- fitting and Showmanship contest. Patti Greek and Barb Kilgore won the dairy showmanship and dairy- fitting, respectively. In the sheep contest, Red Lion also did well by winning all of the awards. During the remainder of the year, the FFA members busied themselves with various projects and events. An example was a Land Judging contest in which four Red Lion students entered. Dan Young, Bab DeHoff, Ken Fake, and Sue Herbst placed first through fourth, respectively, in the contest. These students pre- pared for this event by working with soil after school and by studying many books on the subject of land and soil. Through hard work and dedica- tion, three members have received recognition for their achievements, leadership, community involvement, and knowledge. David M. Miller was voted the South-Central Legion vice- president for the 1976-77 school term. Leon Crowl and Leonard Greek received the Keystone Degree, and award given to only 21A percent of the state FFA members. into the pool, you probably noticed it was a little bit cooler than usual. Students and teachers wore coats to classes, kindergarten sessions were held in A217, and finally athletic events were re-scheduled so that the thermostats could be turned down at night. According to the National Wea- ther Bureau, the record low for January was-3 F., the average temperature was 20 F., and we received 12.2 inches of snow. We'll feel the effects of the weather until June, for Dr. Grissinger is concerned that the students receive a full 180 days of education. Ping-Pong Champ A popular sport at Red Lion is ping-pong. Ever since two ping-pong tables were placed in the Student Commons, ping-pong balls are con- stantly flying and crowds are wait- ing for their turn at the tables. Many students have their own ping-pong paddle that conveniently fits in their back pocket. Therefore, it is a com- mon sight to see paddles sticking out of the students' back pockets as they travel through the halls. Although there are many fine players, only one, Corey Grove, is the champ of all times. Corey has won the school tournament for the last two years and was a finalist in the York County Doubles Contest for which he received a trophy. He practices at home and at a club in Lancaster and has participated in tournaments that were held in places such as Philadelphia, Lancaster, Reading, and Chambersburg. Belly Dancing Can Be Fun Since September of 1974, Regina McPherson has been studying the art of belly dancing. She takes les- sons from a local citizen. The hour-long classes begin with warm-ups, then isolation exercises and stretches. New steps are taught and practiced, and finally they are combined with old skills to create by studying many books on the sub- V ject of land and soil. P Regina is one of the youngest members of the class, as the others are 30 and over.
