Show Millard County Chronicle Thursday, October 3, 1963 From the Office Of the Principal DELTA HIGH SCHOOL'S PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION In determining the kind ol building build-ing we need, it has born pointed out that the building should conform con-form to the philosophy of education educa-tion the school had adopted. In developing our evaluation of the Delta High School last year, one of the first things we did was to establish our philosophy of education. edu-cation. In order for everyone to know what our thinking is at Delta High School, we submit this philosophy: WE BELIEVE That the program of secondary schools is to provide an educational program of experiences which will enable all youth to develop In terms of their interests, needs, and abilities to their greatest potential. 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 is elected to establish a set of policies to regulate the functioning of this program. That the responsibility for learn ing should be that of the individual student, rather than of the school of society. That the training of the teacher should be related to the needs of the program established, and that teachers should primarily be con cerned with the teaching and learn ing process as it affects each student. stud-ent. 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 improved im-proved practice in classrooms. That quality more than quantity of work should be our concern, and thaat excellence should be our objective ob-jective in alj 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, through 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 he can find greatest inter-st inter-st 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 for practicing these principles. That moral standards should be held as important in the development develop-ment of each individual, and that 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 cult-ure of a community, but at the same time the school has a responsibility respon-sibility to introduce new ideas, understandings, un-derstandings, 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 experimentation experi-mentation should be continuous in order that all new methods may be explored and correctly evaluated.

Delta High's Marcus is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arlo Skeem and the oldest of three boys and one girl. Marcus has spent most of his summers working on the farm, but this line of work does not seem to be his main vocational interest. Science and Math are, however; and he plans to attend the University Univer-sity of Utah after graduation to major in these fields. Marcus has acquired for himself an excellent background in Science and Math during his high school years. At Camp Williams last year the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium was held for three days. This included two-hundred students from five mountain states. Marcus was one of those representing represent-ing DHS. Mark also has gained much high school credit in these fields as the following schedule indicates: Trig., Seminary, Physics, Chemistry II, American Problems, English, and Athletics. This year Marcus was one of ten boys from Delta High who attended Boys State. He has a variety of hobbies, ranging from sports to science. Game hunting is a sport Mark particularly par-ticularly enjoys. Every season finds him at the mountains, on the desert, des-ert, or In the fields. Football is his favorite competitive sport; as participant par-ticipant he is guard on our team. Electronics is another of Marcus's hobbies. He has built several radios ra-dios and he likes to work with ara-lifiers ara-lifiers and short-wave sets whenever when-ever he gets a good chance. This serious-minded and studious teen is an excellent thinker. He also has one of the highest scholastic scholas-tic averages in our school. Marcus's congeniality and ambition ambi-tion have helped him in becoming a popularity at DHS. He is Senior Hop Co-Chairman, Homecoming Parade Chairman, Secretary of the Letterman Club, and President of the Senior Class.

Miss Bogh expresses her feelings for Delta High with these words: "Since I attended, it has really upgraded. up-graded. Everyone is thinking more of his future, with all the hard classes being filled first. This is the best thing that could happen. I'm thrilled to be here, for I've always al-ways wanted to teach music. I'm really impressed."

Sanpete gained 17 yards; but then Gary Bunker, for Delta, intercepted inter-cepted a pass and ran six yards. Kent Turner's quarterback sneak brought us 5 yards closer to our touchdown. Bailey's off-tackle sweep play for two yards, plus his 12 yard sweep gave Delta the only touchdown. The extra point was good as Bailey booted it. N. Sanpete having the ball for only a short time was forced to punt, with Bennett returning it 20 yards. The yardage gain proved to be of no value as Delta fumbled giving Sanpete possession. N.
