With the above in mind, four boys, Craig Christensen, Bob Bennett, Ben-nett, Craig Hardy and I got together togeth-er at the beginning of summer and decided to construct a retreat from the trials and rigors of everyday life. Just exactly who originated the idea is uncertain, but it was pretty well unanimously decided on at the outset of the project to build a medium sized room underground and stock it with all of the essentials essent-ials of life. With the decision to proceed with the project made, the next step consisted entirely of drafting a suitable set of plans. Several trial plans were considered, then rejected. reject-ed. Finally, after much deliberation, we settled on a plan calling for a room 8 x 12 x 77 feet underground. under-ground. When work "began on the excavation several factions Immed iately voiced the opinion that we should alter the plan to an 8 x 12 x 7 foot room slightly closer to the surface. (About 6 feet closer.) The remainder of us decided de-cided to go along with this alteration altera-tion when we discovered that the water table in that particular area is only 9 feet below the surface.

The other guy is missi'ng. of Something Unique In Construction ter about one day's digging, a hole 9 x 13 x 8 marked the surface of the earth at the site we had selected. We were now ready to start on the room proper; and after suitable ceremony, 4" x 4" underflooring was laid. This was followed by hardwood flooring, which in turn was followed by 2x4 wall studs, which were followed by the ceiling (or roof), consisting of 4x4 bridge timber covered by 2x6's and waterproofed wat-erproofed by tar paper and 6 inches of dirt. Since the structure is underground under-ground and candles are immprac-tical immprac-tical for lighting and ventilating, electrical wiring was installed by Craig Christensen and me; then I risked life and limb to connect it to a power line. Now that we could once again see what we were doing we proceeded pro-ceeded to install celotex wallboard, paint it light blue,- and move in the furniture we had begged, borrowed, and purloined from various establishments estab-lishments in town. This consisted of a couch, a stereo record player, a T. V. set, a general-purpose cabinet, cabi-net, 2 folding chairs, an old-fashioned icebox, and a clock. Accessories Acces-sories for the above were brought in later; for example $300.00 worth of record albums, and the list was supplemented by objects such as books. This was all done at a cost of $8.50. With construction and decoration completed, we promptly proceeded to move in. Our homes were suddenly sud-denly blessed with a strange si- J4BQ1I1211 9.95 up 3.85 up 14.95 11.95 lence, except when we went home to eat. The problem of finances was solved when each of us agreed to pay $1.00 a month to provide goodies for our interest and edification. edifi-cation. The coffers were swelled again when four more boys, Bob Riding, Randall Allen, Jerry Callis-ter, Callis-ter, and McKay Church took the plunge, gave us five dollars each, and joined. By this time the Hole had become be-come an integral part of our very existence. It had, in fact, become our home. Our parents never saw us any more except when we went home to eat andor sleep, and sometimes we didn't even do that We became so familiar with the sights of the Hole that we noticed immediately (if not sooner) if anyone any-one even changed just one sign or picture. The wall around the dart board became pocked with holes from the efforts of some of the less accurate members. All the members mem-bers learned how to read the clock and operate the record player. The icebox was emptied as fast as it could be filled. Several attempts were made by outside parties and parents to close the Hole, the most successful one succeeding in closing it for one day. All obstacles that arose were crushed as soon as they made themselves known. All went well for about three months, then we were caught in the throes of "remodelitus". (A rare disease in the male portion of the species, but quite prevelent a-mong a-mong the females.) A junior size range war broke out, with three factions present. One faction wanted want-ed to paint the Hole pink, another wanted to paint it green, and another an-other didn't want to paint it at all. The squabble was finally settled when the green faction went ahead and painted it green. This brought cries of outrage from the other factions, fac-tions, the chief complaint being: "It looks like the inside of a cow manure!" All was returned to normal nor-mal soon, though, and life is still going on there in peace and harmony har-mony to this very day. Steve Morrison -Our Faculty- Mrs. Gloria Barfuss, though a beginner be-ginner in the teaching profession, has developed a workable and successful suc-cessful way of teaching our commercial com-mercial classes. Mrs. Barfuss, who graduated from Delta High School, attended the BYU, majoring in Business Education Educa-tion and minoring in English. After two years at the Y, she accepted a secretarial position at Thiokol Chemical Company in Brigham City, and then returned to school to finish her education. This is her first year of teaching at Delta High, but her face is familiar fa-miliar to the students, since she was a student teacher here for eight weeks last year. In her busy day she manages to teach Type II, Shorthand I and II and Office Practice. Many students have commented that she is a strict grader, and she is! She grades on these things: 1. Business-like manner 2. Loyalty 3. Business-like dress (no ratted hair or tight clothes) 4. Initiative and enthusiasm 5. Dependability 6. Assignments handed in on time In other words "Each student earns his own grade". Her future plans are to teach a few more years and then she and her husband plan to raise their own football team. Mrs. Barfuss's hobbies include 1. Flunking kids 2. Doing art work 3. Participating in music (she sings and plays the piano) 4. Cancelling Republican votes. (Her husband is a Republican) Republi-can) 5. Rooting for the Dodgers (her husband is a Yankee fan). Mrs. Barfuss is developing a reliable re-liable effecient department.

The very brave started first, then couple by couple, the room began to fill for another night of tricky maneuvers. By 10:00, everyone was in, helping help-ing to make this a very successful night. At 11:00 p.m. everything was stopped, and soon the Delta High School was dead still, without a trace of evidence that the Student Council-sponsored dance had come and gone to add to the success of the day's victory at Emery. Laura Lee Hansen Delta Defeats Emery, 13-7 The 150 mile drive to Castledale proved satisfactory to alumni and students as Delta again emerged victorious. The Spartans receiving on t h e 20-yard line and carrying to the 33-yard line, started their downs on the 48-yard line because of a 15-yard penalty against the Rabbits. Rab-bits.

With an optional play for 7 and an off-tackle for 3, Delta made first and ten. They then lost 8 yards on a reverse; unable to gain it back Robert Callister made a 45 yard punt.

Anita McCall and Lynette Riding Utah County Band Day Saturday, October 5th, the Delta High School Band, together with thirty other bands from Utah, participated par-ticipated in the Annual Utah County Coun-ty Band Day at Brigham Young University in Provo. The members of the band enjoyed en-joyed a regular "Riot" all day. Upon Up-on their arrival in Provo about 2:00 p.m., they got into their red and grey uniforms and joined the thirty other bands for an hour-and-a-half rehearsal at the George Albert Field House, after which, they practiced prac-ticed their formations on the B.Y.U. Pa: king lot. While practicing field formations, Delta High School's Band uprooted an old tradition by not being yelled at once! After lunch was served to the students, some of the boys attended attend-ed a priesthood meeting while the girls well they observed the hundreds hun-dreds of boys who were observing the girls! Next, the bands attended the football game between Montana State and B.Y.U, during which they DMJS. oi the Wccii f ,' MAR GO NIELSON Delta High's MoDel Editor, Margo Nielson, takes the spotlight in this issue. One of a family of five, she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Nielson. Margo surely fulfills Franklin's requisites for success: Her interest in most any subject is displayed by her class schedule Algebra II, English 12, Sociology, Seminary, American Problems, Pep Club, and Publications. Her hobbies have also shown this variety of interest, since Margo displays tal ent in writing, likes to dance, and is an adept seamstress. Perhaps her living so close to the canyon has helped give also a love for the outdoors and for camping. She again reveals qualities necessary neces-sary to success in her desire to ex cel and her ability to make use of her time by the fact that over the past two years she has maintained a 4.0 a straight A. This teen has achieved many contest honors for her commercial team work. When she was a Sophomore she was on the type and as a Junior, the shorthand short-hand team, both of which placed third in the State. She was one of three girls chosen to attend Girls State this year. From this experience exper-ience she earned a scholarship to Utah State University, given to only one in fifty. Margo plans to use this scholarship to major in History and English. Another q u a 1 i t y Margo possesses pos-sesses the ability to get along with people; the result, she is well-liked at Delta High. She has been in the Pep Club and the U.N. Club two years and this year is Secretary of the latter. But Margo's most important im-portant job to us at Delta came with her election as MoDel Editor, where she indeed enforces her efficiency. ef-ficiency. A most needed quality of success is a common sense attitude toward life which Margo exhibits by speak ing her mind but revealing sound reasoning behind her remarks. Furthermore, even though Margo is serious about getting done what she sets out to do, she still finds time to laugh. Best wishes, Margo, from D. H. S.

Spanish Fork High School has a campus arrangement for their buildings which forms the letter "E", with a gymnasium and swimming swim-ming pool as separate units from the main buildings. Each of these people was especially espec-ially interested in talking with teachers and visiting the rooms connected with the department they represent. All of them were interested in the organization and the over-all structure of the building. build-ing. They especially liked the lighting light-ing throughout the building with sky lights and much window space. They were thrilled with the spacious spa-cious lunchroom with its patio, and especially they were happy over the arrangement of the physical education plant. In this plant Spanish Fork has ! adequate space for football lockers, physical education lockers for boys and girls in separate compartments, compart-ments, a room for drivers training, a room for health education, office space for coaches and physical education ed-ucation directors, a spacious gymnasium gym-nasium for competitive games, a girls gymnasium, a wrestlers room, and physical development facilities. j The city had co-operated by building a swimming pool in connection con-nection with the gymnasium. This physical education plant seems to meet the needs of Delta High School as near as anything we have seen yet. They had adequate space for baseball, football, track, tennis courts, and physical education program. pro-gram.
