Business Manager It is now the second marking period at Red Lion Area Senior High School. The Homecoming frenzy is over, halloween made its mark, and everyone has acclimated to their classes for this school year. Now, students need to think about next year. “We are looking for every opportunity to allow kids to get college credits here at the high school or at least get prepared for college curriculum,” said Ms. Megan Axe; Head of the Social Studies Department at Red Lion. These courses that permit college credits and preparation are called AP courses, which stands for Advanced Placement. Students that take these courses and if they successfully take the AP test receiving an appropriate score, will gain college credit and may be exempt from college courses.

Editor-in-Chief Many students know the all-too-familiar call of Advanced Placement classes. These classes entice students with their 1.3 weight and high credit value, as well as with the possibility for college credit if they do well on their AP test. What many students do not know, however, is that there is another option that also offers a 1.3 weight and college credit. This second option is called dual enrollment, and it is when a high school student attends both classes at their high school and classes on a local college campus. By Marissa Burd
Junior Editor-in-Chief With a new school year comes changes. For years, physical education, or gym class, has been held at the high school two times during a six-day cycle, and then a study hall takes place for the four remaining days. Now, a typical ninth through eleventh grade student’s schedule consists of gym every single day, but only for one semester. The three levels of phys ed are PE 1 for freshman, 2 for sophomores, and 3 for juniors. As a senior, gym is no longer a requirement. Not only is there a change in scheduling, but there’s a change in the activities which take place during the phys ed period. By Brianna Lehr

Editor-in-Chief For many students in school districts across York county, early August often means gearing up for the upcoming school year by viewing their schedule before the first day. For Red Lion students, this has not rung true up until the 2017-2018 school year. This year, administration has made the switch from MMS, which tied together multiple systems for the various needs of the school district, to Skyward, which combines all of these needs into one.

Junior Editor-in-Chief Over the years at Red Lion High School, students have started a tradition to support their sports teams, specifically varsity football. This group of school spirited students organized a Student Section and call themselves the “Rowdies.” With every new school year, a graduating senior passes down the role of being the leader of the Student Section to a rising senior. This year, the legacy was passed down from last year’s leader, Tristan Fuentes (2017), to two seniors, Cole Gipe and Micah Davis. By Derek Etter
Staff Writer As seniors entered the school parking lot with snow flurrying above and the deafening roar of chatter, the wind carried a beer can across the ground, eerily symbolic of the dramatic scene behind it. Two cars, both carrying Red Lion seniors, were totaled in the middle of the lot. Drops of blood were dripping down the cars and glass was shattered at the feet of seniors trapped in the cars, which were piled on top of each other As paramedics and firefighters arrived, students were cut out of the cars, and some that couldn’t be saved were laid under sheets. As the dramatic tableau unfolded, the booming sound of students talking over each other was drowned out by sirens, and the voice of senior Quinn Waldrup shouting, “What did I do?” However, this dramatic crash happens every year at Red Lion in the same lot, only with different students.
