Show Page 4 Millard County Chronicle Thurs., October 19, 1961 l i jfiiiriciii" Our library is one of the best in the state. This is because of the long efficient hours of labor our capable librarian Miss Ruth Hansen Han-sen puts into it. There are approximately approxi-mately 8500 books in our library and she knows where almost everyone every-one of them is. I asked her how she knew this and her reply was, "Well, I put them there." Talk about a fabulous memory. Well, she has it! We also have to marvel at how she can order material for us even before we ask her for it. She told me she reads catalogs, newspapers, magazine reviews, and lists out of text books. She also gets ideas out of books such as the Standard Catalog for High School Libraries and the Booklet put out by the American Library Association. The latter is put out twice a month, containing two hundred or more titles of books of all kinds. We add about three hundred new books a year to our library. These include books that have never been in our library before, books that have been worn out, and books that have been lost. You know, 25 to 30 books are lost per year. In ten years, 300 books are lost a whole year's supply of new books. Just think, all this money spent needlessly for books that have been lost. It's ridiculous! We owe much to Miss Hansen. Without her and her miraculous way of doing things, we wouldn't receive the education we are able to obtain. By Karen Moody Following is a plea for the return of lost books as Miss Hansen held before her a card catalog drawer of lost books and spoke extempore: extem-pore: "The Delta High School has a library li-brary it can justly be proud of, and this library belongs to you. It belongs be-longs to you as the streets and sidewalks belong to you, just as the building itself belongs to you, to be used; but how long would these last if each person took home and kept a piece of them. "Each year we lose books from our library shelves. These books are in the homes of the West Millard Mil-lard area books that the library needs and would like very much to have back. A book may sit on the library shelves for a year, two years, or longer; but that doesn't mean the book has no value. There will come a time when that book is needed and it should be in the library where is is available. "To serve its patrons well, a library li-brary must anticipate its needs. It takes several weeks, or even months, usually, to get a book. If a library waited until material was needed, it would be of little value. Books are usually needed today, not a month from now. For this reason a book may be found on a shelf over a long period of time. Don't think that nobody will ever use it or that it won't be missed. The book should remain on the shelf until it is needed; then a record should be left of where the book has gone so that it can be found if someone else needs it too. "Last week someone wanted material ma-terial on helicopters. The library had an excellent book on that subject sub-ject last year. This year that book is somewhere in one of the homes of the area; so too are other good books on aeronautics, mathematics, medicine, etc. The library also had a copy of OLD YELLER. Many people peo-ple would like to read it. You say, 'Buy a new one.' well, we tried. We ordered it July 20. It is now October and the library still does not have a copy of OLD YELLER. It isn't always possible to replace materials. Books go out of print. That is one excellent reason for having libraries where material may be found that can no longer be bought. Of course, books wear out too, but the life of a book is surprisingly long if it is taken care of. "Most of the books that are miss ing from the library have gone without a trace. Book cards were not signed and left. Since the library li-brary shelves are open, as they should be, it is easy enough to take a book; but everyone should be considerate enough of the rights of others to respect public property. Books should always be signed for two reasons: first, so the library wiil know where books are when they are needed; second, to remind those forgetful individuals that they have library materials that should be returned. "Some people intentionally do not sign for books because they don't want a library fine, others don't sign for their books because they are forgetful. These people are :3 , 3o JO. News-Rep oris: things, but it is often an indication that that person lacks a sense of responsibility and is careless in small things; so this person may well be careless about large things. "If the Delta High School library is to grow and become better each year, we need everyone's cooperation. coopera-tion. We need your help in keeping library materials in good condition and above all in keeping library materials in the library so they can circulate. Books tucked away on your shelves could be put to much better use if they were returned to the library. "Note: When textbooks are replaced re-placed by the school, there are often of-ten good copies remaining. It has been the practice to give these to people who want them. The library does not want these books returned; return-ed; we want only library materials." mater-ials." MISS RUTH HANSEN, LIBRARIAN D.U.S. MISS BTJTH HANSEN the ones who are responsible for most of our missing books. People who get fines are those who can't remember to return or renew their books. It is always the same people who keep books overdue. This failing fail-ing seems to run in families. Year after year one can make an educated edu-cated guess as to will have library fines and who will lose books. People Peo-ple who forget to leave a record of the books they take from the library are also those who forget to return those same books they are the very ones who need reminding." re-minding."

We, at Delta High School, see no reason why every student at our school should not participate in some activity that will develop leadership skills and abilities in order to become better citizens. Let us take a look at the offerings offer-ings that are ours if we have the inclination and ambition to capitalize capita-lize on these offerings. The field of music offers opportunity for skills in vocal, in playing instruments, instru-ments, in leading our bands, performing per-forming in our operas, being a part of concerts, representing fcur school on trips to other schools, and performing per-forming before audiences. Speech The same offerings are ours if we but avail ourselves of the opportunity op-portunity of competing for places in our school play, our public speaking program, debate, and many other speech activities. Journalism Jour-nalism includes such-opportunities as working on the paper staff, yearbook staff, and the magazine publication. This gives us an outlet for expressing those thoughts that all of us have. Athletics here we have an opportunity to represent our studentbody, the school, the community, and our own individual selves in the great American sports, We have public service, civic clubs, church, public meetings, P.T.A., and many other opportunities to serve the public; and we grow by serving others. Our student government offers of-fers many opportunities in our various var-ious offices both in student government govern-ment and in class government. Our clubs such as U.N. club, Letter-man's Letter-man's club, FFA, FHA, WAA, Science, Sci-ence, Pep, DelEttes, and others are also educational opportunities and help us gain a foundation for a career. Included in our school program pro-gram are classes in reading in which students can learn through their own efforts, to achieve excellence excel-lence in speech. Schools such as summer classes at universities, leadership schools, Boys' State, Girls' State, departmental work such as English, publications are also made available through our schools. We have departmental contests such as our commercial contest's, speech, science, science fairs, art, vo. ag., industrial arts, music, athletics, and publications. 1 am sure there are many opportunities op-portunities for every student in our school to participate in and become affiliated with the great activity program sponsored by Delta High School, Every opportunity is a learning situation. Help to prepare our young people to become the leaders of tomorrow. We feel, at Delta High School, that this is a very important part of the education educa-tion of our youth. This, with our fine scholastic program, should give a well-rounded education program pro-gram for a well-balanced individual.

Each school in the state sent students to participate in either All State Chorus, Band, or Orchestra. Orch-estra. Delta's participants were in the mixed chorus of 340 members who sang Negro spirituals, love and religious songs. The conductor was Prof. Charles C. Hirt from the Uni- versity of Southern California. Thursday, October 5, they participated par-ticipated all day at the West High School. Friday, October 6, they sang in the Tabernacle for the teachers and from there they went to the Highland "High School and sang for more teachers and the public. Mr. and Mrs, Richard Snow and young son, Jay Grant, visited in Delta during the week with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Grant Snow. They reside at Preston, Ida., where Mr. Snow is a Boy Scout executive. He recently returned from New Jersey where he attended six weeks of school at the Mortimer Schiss School for Boy Scouts. OUR LITERATOR By Peter Doolin "Facts About Stuffing" As students of Utah we must remember re-member that our schools are operated oper-ated by certain state regulations. A few of these concerning sluffing are as follows: A 10 cut on a student's grades will be taken from the classes missed. He can be expelled ex-pelled from school by the principal or any other proper authority. In extreme cases this 10 cut can be waived but only on the recommendations recommen-dations of our school authorities. In case of expulsion, the student can be re-admitted through the same channels. Mr. Bennett says this: "As principal prin-cipal of this school I am responsible responsi-ble for a student from the time he gets on the bus in the morning until he gets off it at night. We cannot have a school and run it properly if students leave whenever they feel like it. I feel that I am as lenient as possible in as many ways as possible, but sluffing has got to be stopped." As students we go to school to learn. These rules and regulations are not set up to punish but are to help to develop us into better citizens and people. Our parents pay taxes to keep us in school. Every day we miss costs our school, which in turn again costs our parents. par-ents. As high school students we should be mature people who go to school because we appreciate living in a free country and being educated and enjoying our growth and development and association with others. Judy Callister, freshman at the U. of U., spent the weekend in Delta visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rulon Callister. These three D.H.S. girls were asked what they thought of this opportunity and what they gained from it. This is how they responded: respond-ed: Karen Moody: "The experience of singing under the direction of sucn a man and in such a wonderful chorus was the outstanding event of the trip. Also, I met so many people I would never have known. It was an experience everyone should have. I hope that more kids will go next year. It will really be an experience you will never forget." for-get." Jane Turner: "I am glad I was able to go and participate in the All State Chorus. It was a wonderful wonder-ful feeling to sing with such a large group. The conductor, Mr. Hirt, really made us feel the mood of the songs. I especially enjoyed being able to sing in the Tabernacle. Taber-nacle. I hope that next year more students from Delta High will go. ' Virginia Done: "The golden strains of harmony" still ring thru my ears as I recall the memories of singing in the All State Chorus of 1961. Those few days with our outstanding conductor, Prof Chas. C. Hirt, were priceless. His humility humili-ty was so strong that singing under un-der his conducting brought forth within the 340 members a tingling oneness of purpose-unity. My deepest deep-est gratitude to Mr. Long and to all the others who have given me this experience." Winona Alldredge Features . . . By Bob Riding, Jr. I'm sure the team was pleased to see the numerous spectators from Delta who drove the 85 miles to Mt. Pleasant to survey the game between the Rabbits and the North Sanpete Hawks. Even though the field was hilly and poorly grassed, the beautiful Manti mountains set a delightful scene. It wasn't at all too hot either, eith-er, as the spectators had donned short sleeved shirts. The Hawks were dressed in red and white as were the Rabbits. The suits of the two teams are almost identical. For halfrtime exercises, the North Sanpete Pep Club formed an "R" in front of our bleachers. Their cheerleaders then gave us a yell. This shows excellent sportsmanship on the part of the Hawks. Our streak of broken bones unfortunately un-fortunately didn't end Thursday as quarterback Jerry Huff received a broken nose. It does look as if a permanent doctor would come in handy. Even with this mishap the Rabbits came out on top with a score of 27-0. This victory brings our record to five wins and one loss. This coming Thursday the high riding Rabbits take on the also high flying Millard Eagles. This will prove to be an exciting contest. con-test. It will be played on our gridiron, grid-iron, so let's see you all there. ,1 fcfrf U-9 9M M4 W to-t tag .
