Delta Elementary Mrs. Knight's Boom: Some 6 our 'fifth grade students have been bringing magic tricks to school. We think we have some very good magicians. We could guess how some of the tricks were performed, but others still remain the magician's secret. Mary Jane Beckwith did a trick with pepper and soap. Jean Elia-son Elia-son did a multiplying coin trick. Robert Callister, Neil Whicker, Sandra Pace, and Don Knight were others who did mysterious tricks. Reported by Jean Eliason Mr. Martin's Room: We have two new girls in our room. Their names are Chatta Hill and Ann Webb. Chatta is from Cedar City and Ann is from Salt Lake City.

Whenever it's a sunny day all we have to do is pull a little string and a little window opens to show a big, bright yellow smiling sun. We have fun watching the weather weath-er each morning to see which window win-dow to open for the day. We have also had fun learning of animals and how they travel. We learned that animals travel through six different methods. They are, walk, hop, run, swim, fly and crawl. We even had Craig Bishop's little black puppy visit us for a half day. We took him down in the little gym with us while we danced that afternoon and he had as much fun as we did. Sixth Grades We have new officers in our room. They are Kristine Hardy as President; Rose Ann Spencer and Lewis Swensen are playground supervisors, sup-ervisors, and Russell Talbot news reporter. Our class has a good Phys. Ed. period every day. We have been doing some tumbling and dancing, danc-ing, part of which we are to use in our forth-coming operetta. We thought that spring was here and started to play Softball until "Old Man Winter" came back. In art period we are painting on glass with crystalac and enamels. enam-els. Oh for a first line. Did you ever just sit, and sit, and well, stare at an old blank piece of paper trying to catch a good starting line? Well, I'm in that fix today. I know I am going to have to answer your last queries but where to start. You asked me last time about the School busses themselves, miles and things like that. It's sort of a vague question but I am going to tackle it from a sort of bias, so to speak, and work up to "things like that" later. First off there are 17 busses running run-ning every day. Then there are two standby busses ready to step in and take over on any route whenever needed. They range from the little 36 passenger to the big 73 passenger, and most sizes in between. You will see them roaming about in every area in the county where there are school kids, except way out west where it is a little too far for daily trips to be practical. I've been sitting here figuring a little bit and the result is that we're going to get Into a bit of statistics. I added up the passengers passeng-ers first, and do you realize that every school day we haul 844 of you kids to school and home a-gain? a-gain? That is, if you ride the bus as your are supposed to. In doing this small chore we travel 571 miles in an average time of a-bout a-bout 80 minutes. Going farther, we each use an average 5.G gal lons of gasoline per day or all together approximately 95 gallons of gasoline per day as a group. All together the busses average 33.6 miles a day each. Still playing with figures, I find each wheel turns about 528 times in one mile, j One wheel turns 17,740 times each day. One wheel on all busses turns 301.580 times, and all 68 wheels would turn about 20,507,440 times ive d3ys a week. Sounds like a congressional appropriation. Well, anyhow, this is an average figure I never tried counting them. Getting back to the routes the longest route is from Scipio to Fillmore. That bus travels 27 miles one way daily. The shortest route is from Deseret to Delta 9.4 iniles one way daily. The other 15 range in between, with 2 more in the 25 miles plus; 3 In the 20 plus; 3 Your Bus D eceives Is Runner-Up In Merit Scholarship Competition; Will Receive Letter of Recommendation for Future Use Charles R. Allen of the DJH.S. is a runner-up in the 1957-58 Merit Scholarship competition. He will be sent a letter of recommendation recommenda-tion by National Merit Scholarship Scholar-ship Corporation for use in applying apply-ing to colleges. John M. Stalnaker, President of NMSC. believes that the 7500 students who receive the commendation, rank in the top one or two per cent in ability In the senior classes of their respective states. "While the students receiving this commendation did not quite reach the finals of the 1957-58 Merit Mer-it Scholarship competition, each of them has demonstrated highly superior ability and outstanding promise to benefit from college training," declared Mr. Stalnaker. "I hope that every one of them will make a special effort to Obtain Ob-tain the best college education possible. Our country needs more able people like these." The annual National Merit Schol arship competition offers the largest larg-est system of privately financed scholarships in the United States. The Merit Scholarship Program is open to all high school seniors in the United Sstates and its posses sions. This year, over 260,000 outstanding outstand-ing seniors from over 14,000 high schools entered the competition which began with a nationwide screening examination in October, 1957. About 7200 students, who have already been named, are now in the finals of the current competition. com-petition. Over 1000 four-year Merit Scholarships worth an estimated $5 million to the winners and their colleges will be awarded May 1, 1958. Southern Utah Teachers' Ass'n The third annual convention of the Southern Utah Teachers' Association As-sociation was held at Ephraim, Snow College, on Saturday, March 15. Many teachers from West Millard Mil-lard attended and have reported an outstanding meeting. The keynote key-note speaker was the very able Dr. Royal Garff from the University of Utah. After dinner, which was served at the college, several group meetings meet-ings were held. Of these, the Arts and Crafts division was the responsibility re-sponsibility of the Millard teachers. teach-ers. At 3:30, Snow College presented the operetta "Oklahoma." It was beautifully staged and was a fine finale for the convention. rivers . . . in the 16 plus; 2 in the 14 plus; 3 in the 11 plus; the rest in the 9 plus bracket. Of course this mileage mile-age is one way only. I've covered a lot of paper with stuff about the big busses, which is only right because they are the main reasons for the whole transportation trans-portation program 'well, that is you kids are the main reason the busses are a big part for the main reason. We've got some little busses, too. Those yellow cars, with black wheels and fenders, are not taxi cabs but a new addition to the bus fleet. They will be used for small group transportation and a way for kids who live in far out places to get home after a late stay to practice for some extra curricular activity. When they are all going, there will be six altogether. Three at Fillmore and three at Delta. At the present time one at each school is being used as driver training cars. So if you happen to see one wobbling wn Main Street with sort of shaky hands on the wheel it is just some new driver taking a first time turn at learning proper methods meth-ods of driving. By the way, an idea just popped, speaking about driver training, wouldn't there be a terrific improvement im-provement in people's driving methods if everyone and I mean everyone would take a refresher course in how to properly drive a car? We get into such a bit of a rut with our driving habits. Just stand on any corner of Delta's Main Street, any day, and watch drivers break every law of the road. Boy, I had better calm down right here and now before I get my neck stuck out too far. Some day I am going to tee off though, and speak my piece. Just try driving driv-ing a loaded school bus west thru Delta about 3:40 p.m. each day. I might be bragging a little, but every school bus driver in the county got a fine commendation from a recent check by a Safety Patrol Inspector. I think we have a right to sort of puff out our chest a bit. "When flowers are full of heaven-descended dews, they always hang their heads; but men hold theirs the higher the more they receive, getting proud as they get full." H. W. Eeecher. H onor NMSC was establishhed In 1955 through grants of $20.5 million from the Ford Foundation and Carnegie Car-negie Corporation of New York. Over 80 business and Industrial firms offer four-year college scholarships schol-arships through its facilities. Many D. II. S. Students Shot! Monday was an unusual day at the D.H.S. Many students were walking lopsided around the halls holding one arm up as though it were broken. Yes, you have probably guessed it The typhoid clinic was here a-gain. a-gain. Many students who had their annual shots struggled through the halls trying to keep from getting their arm bumped. Although it wasn't really too bad, we're glad it is over, at least until next Monday, Mon-day, when they will return a-gain. a-gain. OUCH! Douglas Torre na . F. A.

Library Week This is National Library Week, and the librarian at the Junior High School has made some fine displays and otherwise promoted fuller utilization of the library. Lists of classics and 'best sellers have been made available to students, stu-dents, each of whom have been given a bookmark commemorating National Library Week. The following are excerpts received re-ceived from the committee sponsoring spon-soring observance of N.L.W. A man's woild is as big as he makes it. With no more than a glance at the headlines Of a daily paper, he can take a short cut .only to find himself in a fog over atoms and missiles. He can listen to the fellows at the office, or hear the conversations of people on a street-oar, street-oar, only to feel himself left out, inept and uninformed. This man's world is a little place. His knowledge know-ledge of it is based on hearsay. His conclusions are only notions. From books and magazines, this man could learn some reliable facts. With the guidance of a book, he could confidently shape his own conclusions. The printed word is this man's guide to a bigger world. During National Library Week every week remember to make YOUR world bigger: READ! Buildings, like people, have a personality. Take one particular building, for instance. Far into the evening its lights are still burning. burn-ing. Usually, its door is propped open to invite the businessman the housewife the child. Inside there always seems to be a catolog, a globe, and rows and rows of books. Such silent shelves to tell so many stories of little fingers plodding plod-ding along a line of text; of curious curi-ous fingers eager to find an answer; ans-wer; of fingers impatient to know the ending of a story. People borrow bor-row books from this building; but by the same token, this building borrows its personality from people. It is useful, because people make good use of it. It is friendly, because be-cause people regard it as a friend. hi". week has been set aside to remind America of that one building build-ing in each community which keeps its lights on far into the evening, which stands with open doors to invite the stranger. Its password is a book its goal is simply service. This week is National Na-tional LIBRARY Week. Do you recognize this building in Delta? T. A.
