As I think over the past seven months of our school year, I recognize that we have gone into the schools of Region Ten with our studentbody meetings, and studentbody assemblies; we have been represented in all the major athletic contests. We have come close to the students of our three neighbors Beaver, Milford, and Millard. With our MNEMOSYNE we have gone into the colleges of the state, as well as the publishing companies of many cities. All In all, we have been heard from throughqut our state. Now we are in a position to be represented in the state tourna ment in basketball. Our conduct has been flawless; our achievements achieve-ments great; and in all of this we have demonstrated the finest of sportsmanship. As principal of this school, may I say; "Congratulations "Congratula-tions to YOU, Delta Rabbits! May our courage, our determination, and our fine standard of conduct let the state know that we are truly a great school!" Marlene" Bogh helping to hold down the costs of all extra-curricular activities, During Dur-ing the meeting it was stated that some members of the Pep Cluo had spent as much as $50.00 for their uniforms this year. Miss Margaret Mar-garet Hansen, Pep dub director, advised the parents present that the club had voted to use the same uniforms two years. Teachers and parents alike were agreed that the costs of extracurricular extracur-ricular activities could be held down if parents were more actively helping students. In many Instances, In-stances, teachers have tried to counsel students on the cost of living and apparently to no avail. Parent advisors for the Freshmen Fresh-men class are Thurmon Moody and Inez Riding. Sophomore parent advisors ad-visors are Rayda Rawlinson and Lester Johnson. For the junior class an organizing committee was elected elect-ed to help form an advisory committee. com-mittee. The committee elected is Mary Wright, Nelda Young and Wilma Lovell. Fred Turner and Nona No-na Chesley are the senior class parent par-ent advisors. Mr. Jack Fowles presented fig ures quoted by Merritt Floyd on the possibility of saving the school district as much as $3,000 if zoning zon-ing is done. The group voted to approach the school board on furthering fur-thering this investigation. The Building program was discussed dis-cussed and Mrs. Virginia Lyman, Bill Bishop and Clead Nielson were elected to an organizing committee.

The above figures may appear at first tQo be a cipher or code of some sort, but they are really some very interesting statistics on our oasKeiDaii team. (See if you can guess what they mean before read ing further). Our basketball records and data this year are very intriguing and absorbing. They really tell a tale. For example, the 15-2 above represents repre-sents our 1959-1960 won-lost record throughout the season. The figures 905-758 designate our total points compared to our opponents total, and the two following mixed numbers num-bers (53.23 and 44.6) denote the average points per game for us and for our opponents. Moving from the team to the Individual In-dividual performances, the 195 stands for the total points of our highest scorer. LeRay Jackson led In that department, and his 195 points equaled out to a 12.2 average aver-age per game. The final number.7, stands for the players who scored 50 points or more during the season. sea-son.

DELTA BEAVER 17 - 31 - 37 - 52 15 - 28 - 44 - 50 Coach Allred started the game with his second stringers, and they really started the game with a bang. Jim McCormick led the charge with his long shots swishing the nets with amazing accuracy and regularity. Except for the fact that Calvin Eyre was also hitting with as much regularity and consistency con-sistency for Beaver, the Rabbits might have opened a very commanding com-manding lead. The strange thing about the scoring was that (with the exception of the (third quarter) Delta led at the end of each quarter, quart-er, but they were very seldom in the lead throughout the game. The first quarter was pretty much a neck and neck struggle. Delta went ahead for the first time in the game late In the quarter, 15-14. 15-14. Besides Eyre's steady scoring, the Rabbits had a tough time battling bat-tling their own mistakes. They threw the ball away at least ten times, but I think one reason for that was because of the small drib bhng space on the Beaver floor. 23 into the scoring column. Ken Chris-tensen, Chris-tensen, Jerry Bennett and Kent Miller Mil-ler were the three who didn't score. Eyre fouled out with 25 points, and although we didn't have anyone any-one that high in the scoring column we had three or four players who were close to fouling out in the second half. Beaver Sophomores 17 - 27 - 46 - 52 Delta Sophomores 5-13-32-48 Delta's Sophomores put up a gallant fight that almost carried them into the lead late in the game but they had to, finally, admit defeat. de-feat. After being behind so far, it was really amazing the way they nrn hustled and drove until the last second. "Where there's a will, there's a way" really fits here. The only thing that was against them was that the clock wouldn't cooperate co-operate in the closing seconds.

We finished the first quarter in the lead, and early in the second period we had opened that lead UP to 21-16. Then our mistakes caught up with us a little and so did the Beavers as they went ahead 34-33 in the third quarter. At the start of the third quarter (second half) Coach Allred inserted three regulars into the line-up LeRay, Roger and Ken. This didn't seem to make any difference, however, as Beaver caught us, passed us, and held a lead of 7 points at the end of the third quarter. Now, time was running out and we had to overcome a commanding lead if we wanted to win. The tenseness of the Beavers, Eyre's fouling out in the fourth quarter, and Delta's steady foul shooting finally put us within spittin' distance dis-tance late in the fourth. With 3 minutes remaining in the game, we tied the game up at 47-all, and a minute later we took over the lead for the first time since early in the third period, 49-4S. It was a beautiful fall-away hook shot by Sterling Church that turned the trick. i We extended our lead then to OJ-4S on a foul shot by Russell and a lay-up (fast break) by Roger. I By this time only. a minute re mained and Beaver made another basket to put them within two points of a tie.

Sportsmanship Sportsman-ship is very important and necessary neces-sary for a good team to have and anything adverse to that too often could mean we stay home next week. Twelve cf our r'ayers got Into the game last Friday and nine got It is noted by students, teachers, and townspeople alike that this school year is becoming a record year for Delta High School from the standpoint of accomplishment and school spirit. We feel the follow ing is an accurate and appropriate tribute to the man who is very much responsible: OUR PRINCIPAL To be or not to be the best school possible is not the question. This has been the untold code of our Delta High School Principal, Mr. Leslie C. Bennett. Although this is the first year he has been the ad-ministraor ad-ministraor at our school, he has made remarkable improvements, especially in the studentbody. His gentle, but vivacious character charac-ter that he displays throughout the school day couldn't help but lift the spirits of many a discouraged or grumpy student. He always has a friendly smile on his round, wea thered, and laughter-wrinkled face, as well as in his sparkling, merry blue eyes. He is indeed an example of true school spirit because he loves the school and would do anything to improve it. He sticks up for what he thinks is right, and this is a very admirable quality for anyone to acquire. Never out of fresh ideas for assemblies, dances, or pep rallies, ral-lies, he lends a helping hand to all the studentbody officers. As he is very much aware of the importance of public relations in connection with a successful high school, he has done his very best to, as he has said, "Put Delta High School on the map." Townspeople have taken tak-en a new interest in our school and its many activities. Most important of all, that students stu-dents have thrived on this new- attitude at-titude and atmosphere. They know that Mr. Bennett is there to help whenever there are problems, and this is indeed a relaxing reasur-ance. reasur-ance. I'm sure that each student holds appreciation, respect, and esteem es-teem for our principal and thinks he deserves a huge "tip of the hat."
