It is but an humble effort to show our appreciation for her many years of hard work and leadership. Never before has there been anyone who was more worthy than MISS MARY ANNA BIEBER, and we only wish that there were something even greater that we could do to express our heartfelt thanks to her for helping to make Delphi High School a better and more outstanding school.

Even as the ancient Greeks found courage and inspiration in their quest for the truth as they beat a path to the Oracle at Delphi to receive the blessings from the Greek God Apollog so you, I hope, will have only the fondest memories as you thumb the pages of this book and relive the experiences of this school year. My sincere wish for all of you is that this school year has been one of the richest in your life time and that your memories will be fond memories. From the Greek Gods, this bit of counsel: XX1hom the Gods would destroy, they first make angry l My best wishes to all of you. A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL . . . The Oracle of 1953-54 is the result of many hours of diligent work by members of the Oracle Staff and their sponsor. The pictorial presentation in it has been carefully prepared and presented in such a manner that it will be of much value in helping you remember your years in Delphi High School. One of the major aims of education is to develop good citizens who will successfully take their place in the world of tomorrow. The Oracle presents the varied activities and those things within our school that have prepared you to live a better life and participation in our society. Delphi High will be whatever you make it. The Oracle presents to you its many fine traditions. May you always be conscious of them. Let it always have the spirit to do the things which will make Delphi High School continue to be outstanding. 6 TRUMAN SPITLER PAUL JOHNSON CHARLES MELSON Serwmry Prerideazl Trm,ruf'er Wfe wish to thank our School Board for their ever-present interest and leadership during our high school years. What they have done in our behalf will serve as an inspiration for us to strive toward even greater achievements in the future. is C H 0 o L B Q AR DEH Secretaries to Administmtion PAULINE MOORE MARY SCOTT Sen-emi--y 10 Pyjpffjpal Secreiury Io SIlf7c'1'fIIl6IldElll Us as fr' I vp.

Under the guidance of Mr. Richard Trent, Director, and Ann Johnson, Student Director, the cast presented an excellent performance. The play was fun but we were all a little sad when it was over. Since this was our last year in high school, and also our last class play, we were saying farewell to a school tradition. For us it was the beginning of the end. , JUNIORS 4?
