The second thing in line we've seen Is to organize our magazine. Before we do this, we must find Some poems and stories of every kind. And then the third thing that we'll do Is try to think of some way new To put our magazine together (Like "group selections about weather.") The fourth thing written on our list is auiicuu qui can i De missed. To start our magazine off right About mythology we must write. Added to our New Year's resolutions Are those four rather involved solutions Devised to make Mnemosyne better Perfect, right down to the very last letter. Since they involve a little work, These jobs we'll all endeavor to shirk And end up doing, at the last as we nave aone in an we years past NOTHING!!! By the Mnemosyne staff SCHOOLDAYS (September thru December) Still sits the schoolhouse by the road A ragged beggar sunning; Our parents talk about one NEW, But we keep the OLD one humming! The days now past are mem-ries brief Eighty-four since last September: With glowing faces and all thumbs, REGISTRATION we remember. Our problems, all three hundred five, Were welcomed by a glow As on the stage STUDENT OFFICERS stood With CANDLES In a row. We settled down to LESSON- WORK, For much we had to learn. With lessons, jobs, and activities We made lights and energy burn. The glorious morn of SOPHOMORE , DAY Exploded with a bang; The Juniors tossed Sophs to-and-fro 'Til the three thirty-five bell rang! ED.H. NewReports And then one day from out of the sky A mighty EAGLE sped; He swooped for a Rabbit but broke his wing And hopped home with face all RED! HOMECOMING was a glorious day; We watched and listened and yelled. With students, alumni, and townsfolk too We really all excelled: We built some floats with napkins and sweat They weie marvelous works of art; But great was the mess that covered the streets When we took those floats apart. The F.H.A. and the F.F.A. A HARVEST BALL then held; The Sophomores changed the trend that night As "Our Queen is crowned!" they yelled. REPORT CARDS hit us with a rush. All students well could see The wicked gleam in teachers' eyes As they handed out a "D." The ALL-STATE BAND held a rendezvous In the land of the B.Y.U. They were a snappy looking group, But they all came home with the flu! We've had "PENNIES FROM HEAVEN" in our school; They fell for just one night. And Seniors, dazzled by their glow, Went home in the morning light. We've had surprises and secret loves Of LAVENDER AND OLD LACE; Yes, merry twinkles were in our eyes As the plot rolled into place. Now BASKETBALL is going strong; Our team is on the beam. Although past winnings don't run high, You'll see, we've got the steam! Our YULETIDE GREETINGS we've expressed In concert, dance, and play; And the YEAR TO COME is just as full Of the cultural, the learned, the gay. We live to learn in LIFE'S HARD SCHOOL That lessons must be got; That they, well-blended with our fun, Bring the GOALS we all have sought. by junior english groups Delta Trims Springville By Lynn Bunker The Delta Rabbits, infuriated by their miserable past performances, routed the Springville Devils in a blistering 65-55 tilt. This fractured a four game losing streak and placed plac-ed the Rabbits on the big end of the score again. Delta seized a lead in the opening open-ing moments of the contest and added to it throughout the skirmish. skirm-ish. Needless to say, we Delta fanatics, fana-tics, zealots, and devotees were delighted de-lighted by Delta's fine "swiss watch" precision floorwork. The sizzling Rabbits were also red-hot shooting-wise. They zeroed in on the bucket from all over the court the highest degree of accuracy ac-curacy they have yet attained. Dean Perkins whitewashed the Devils with a one-man show of 7 field goals and a terrific 6 for 7 at the foul line, all in all, 20 big points. Fabulous Paul Pace, a real upcoming up-coming Junior, amazed the audience audi-ence by netting some flashy lay-ups lay-ups usually beneath the very noses of the Springville clan. When all was totaled, Pace emerged with 18 hard-fought points. Lonnie Hales rated third with a brilliant 16, while Rick Farnsworth manipulated the bucket under 3 of his long ones to rake up 6 points. Jerry Huff netted his lone tally on a frantic long shot as the final seconds of the first half slipped away. Doug Church and Darrel Scow both rated 100 at the foul line, getting 4 for 4 and 2-0 respectively. Delta shattered their old first period record by making 16 big points, looking like" the old Delta we used to know. The ravine Rab bits stacked up an average of 17 points per period, compared to less than 14 for Springville.

That the schools belong to the people and that the professional staff is hired to establish such a program, and that the board of education ed-ucation is elected to establish a set of policies to regulate the functioning func-tioning of this program. That the responsibility for learning learn-ing should be that of the individual student, rather than of the school or society. That the training of the teacher should be related to the needs of the program established, and that' teachers should primarily be concerned con-cerned with the teaching and learning learn-ing process as it affects each student. stu-dent. Teachers who are well prepared, pre-pared, professionally alert, and cosmopolitan In their interests tend to be the kind that seek out new findings and are innovators of im proved practice in classrooms. That quality more than quantity of work should be our concern, and that excellence should be our objective ob-jective in all our work and activity. activi-ty. Students should be encouraged to work up to capacity at all times. That there should be objectivity and consistency as well as a continuity, con-tinuity, or unified program, thru-out thru-out all of our schools: elementary," junior high, and senior high schools. A sequential curricula is necessary. That students and teachers and parents should use our counseling program to ensure a better understanding under-standing of our goals and how to reach them. That a student should be given an opportunity to excel in the field he feels tie can find greatest interest inter-est in and the activity program of our school should be geared to this objective. That it is our obligation to teach principles of American ideals of self-government, and to provide opportunities op-portunities for practicing these principles. That moral standards should be I held as important in the develop ment or each Individual, ana tnat high standards of moral conduct should be maintained. That education is a privilege and should be appreciated as such. That the right to an education should be actively used instead of passively accepted and too often abused. We repeat, that it is the individual's responsibility to learn. That the school reflects the culture cul-ture of a community, but at the same time the school has a re sponsibility to introduce new ideas. understandings, and appreciations to a community. We should not only disseminate information; we should stimulate and direct change. That the last word has not been given in the educational thinking of the world today and that ex perimentation should be continuous in order that all new methods may be explored and correctly evalu ated. Holiday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. William S. Bassett were sons and daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Bassett, of Logan, and Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Anderson and three children of Nephi. Their younger son, Elder Kay Bassett, sent Christmas greet ings from his LDS mission field in New Zealand. If Delta keeps unwinding this way against our league' opponents, they should end up with all the marbles at season's end. Plan to see our Beaver encounter Friday, January 5, at the Palomar. Have you ever wondered why New Year's Day is January first? It has not always been; infact, it was not until late in the sixteenth century that January first was generally gen-erally accepted. In earliest Rome the year began in March; the Jewish year began in September. So Christmas day, March 25, Easter Day, and March first have all been observed as the first day of the New Year in Christian countries. Likewise, celebrations of this day have varied. The Romans celebrated celebrat-ed it by an exchange of gifts, at first mere branches of bay and palm and by visiting, feasting, and masquerading. The Druid priests cut down the sacred mistletoe and distributed the sprays. Customs have gradually changed down thru the years to the present-day resting and feasting. No matter when New Year's day is celebrated, however, it is always a time to look back over the past and to plan the future. We at Delta Del-ta High are proud of our accomplishments accomp-lishments during the first half of the year. We feel we have advanced ad-vanced mentally and spiritually, as well as physically. We look forward for-ward with anticipation to the coming com-ing seasons. We look back and realize re-alize that Father Time has not slumped quietly out this year; he has pranced by proudly, carrying a key of wisdom, a book of knowledge, know-ledge, a heart of love, a pearl of peace, a chain of understanding and a battered Eagle. JOAN MURRAY From the Office Of the Principal CIVIL DEFENSE It would seem that living in a democratic society such as we are living in and priding ourselves in the freedoms that we are trying to maintain we should not have to be concerned nor to develop tensions ten-sions regarding the protection of our people within the boundaries of our free land. Yet much concern has been developed over civil defense. de-fense. One of the things essential for the people of our area to understand under-stand is the characteristics of radiation: ra-diation: 1. It is invisible. 2. We cannot feel it unless it is extremely extreme-ly heavy. 3. We cannot taste it. 4. It travels in a straight line. These facts make radiation hard to detect. de-tect. Consequently, we could come in contact with it unknowingly. Actually, fallout is simply particles of debris from bomb explosions. Fallout radiation decays rapidly for the first few days and then more slowly for months even yearsafter. All these facts point out one thing that we are dealing with a dangerous enemy, since it is very difficult to identify. We need protection such as providing pro-viding distance between us and the source of the fallout. We need to know the facts, be realistic, recognize recog-nize it as a serious problem. Even though we may have a free land, we could well be in danger of losing los-ing that freedom. We trust that these things are made known to us for the purpose, not of frightening us, but of protecting us.
