DELTA HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING DISCUSSED A delegation of citizens consist ing of members of the West Millard Citizens Committee and others from various areas of the district, met with the board concerning the remodeling re-modeling program of the Delta High School, as well as other building build-ing needs in the district. The superintendent was asked to explain the temporary plans and sketches submitted by Mr. Dell Ashworth for correcting the struc tural defects in the front section of the building. The preliminary plans submitted by Mr. Ashworth called for a new front on the building build-ing and new floors, ceilings, walls, tack and chalk boards, accoustical treatment, new heating and new lighting for the eight classrooms on the first and second floors situated on the east side of the building. The clerk read a summary of the recommendations of Mr. Dell S. Ashworth, architect, of Provo, which had been made to the Board of Education Ed-ucation in a special meeting held on Mtrch 1st. This report indicated that Mr. Ashworth definitely felt this building had far too much value to abandon and that it should be made safe and attractive He stated this building does have a very definite failure; however, buildings in far worse shape are being remodeled every day. By correcting cor-recting this defect, this building could be a definite asset to the community. This building ideally lends itself to such a remodeling program, as the modern architecture architec-ture features masses of glass and brick. Mr. Ashworth quoted costs totaling $79,400 for this program which would restore eight of the school's classrooms to a modern condition. It would also provide for a greatly enlarged principal's office, of-fice, large facilities for a bookstore book-store or teachers' workroom and supply center, and a large area which could be used for a faculty lounge or other desirable use. Members of the delegation who made comments concerning the building needs at the Delta High School and throughout the district were: LaClead Nielson, chairman of the West Millard Citizens Committee; Com-mittee; Mrs. Zelda Ogden, Willard Stephenson, David Moody, Vernon Hunter, Mrs. Inez Riding, Mrs. Le-nore Le-nore Bunker, Mrs. Lenore Gardner, Bill Bishop, Orvil Beckstrand, Newel W.

As we have read in the papers of recent disturbances created cre-ated at similar ball games in Salt Lake City, I am indeed thankful for the way our students and our patrons have conducted themselves throughout the school year. No where have I seen finer conduct, greater sportsmanship and finer basketball than was demonstrated last Friday and Saturday nights. Many thanks to all of you. We proved ourselves to be good hosts both from the school standpoint and the community. Our visiting kilayers and officials expressed their gratitude for the fine hospitality hospi-tality that was shown them and this is very gratifying. I might report re-port that it was a financial success and for this we are indeed grateful grate-ful to our patrons. Many thanks to all who helped make this a success.

Patsy Ekker What Next? i Now that basketball has ended its reign at D.H.S., speculation a-; bout our prospects for next year is ' a lively topic. With eight Seniors' on this year's team there will be' many positions to fill on a new! squad. Two Juniors and two Sophomores Soph-omores made varsity this year, but only one of these boys did much league playing. This is drastically different from the example of Richard Rich-ard Farnsworth and Paul Pace who have spent little time on the bench in the last three years. Bud Bailey and Gary Bunker, the two Juniors, are likely candidates as are Bob Bennett and Gam Turn- er. The latter two did not participate partici-pate this year. Perhaps there are other Juniors who will qualify. It is when you come to the Sonh- omore group that the field thick- ens. This year's Junior Varsity! group was all Sophomores, with ' two of them also playing varsity. ' Robert Callister, Ron Bailey, Craig Greathouse, Wendell Nielson, and Larry Bliss began clicking as a team during the last few games. Others who saw action were Kent Turner, Don Knight, Dennis Davis, and Jackie Bishop. Team mates included in-cluded Rohert Gardner, Dennis Johnson, Phil Lovell, Ralph Moody, ' and Brent Waddingham. t At the age of 16 and 17 a lot of growth and development takes place in the 9 months before another an-other league season. It is anyone's guess as to what the lineup will be next winter. Mrs. Lenore McCall Don't lot thorn down... i u Ucfaertiafng wh for you I Get more SILIC for the weekend!
