High school sports are another area of growth for everyone - athletes and fans alike. Though unfortunately stereo-typed, ath- letics do aid in forming one's character by demanding good sportsmanship, teamwork, and other qualities . The fans form ties of loyalty to their school and team, and hope- fully learn good deportment as they cheer for victory. So there is more to high school sports than bloodthirsty fans watching the team maul the opponent for the greater honor and glory of THE SCHOOL. DCHS is very sports oriented. We are also a socially active school. There is always some- thing happening here. Often, many students will affirm, stud- ies suffer as a result. This has long been a bone of contention between parents, teachers, and students. The adults are adamant about school work as a top priority. After all, their taxes do aid in the improvement of school qual- ity. Students, of course, have dif- ferent opinions ofthe matter, feeling that some activities are important enough to sacrifice highest academic achievement. What is needed is a balance of activities and studies. All work and no play can really get a per- son down, and social and athletic participation and development is just as important as book learning in high school. But do what needs done when it needs to beg don't wait till the last minute. Try to strike a com- promiseg after all, education heads you where you want to go .

Education: Where Is It Heading You Education, with roots reaching farther back than the ancient Greek scholars, has always been a highly prized achievement. Those schooled in the social graces, arts, and sciences, have consistently been judged on a higher plane than their less liter- ate fellows, who acknowledged and revered them as their bet- ters. Throughout history great mon- archs have surrounded themselves with learned and wise men. Realizing the importance of edu- cation, royalty and gentry soon began to procure tutors for their offspring. But schooling was a luxury, to be had only by the wealthy. It's odd to call school a luxury, because many students here at DCHS think that school, i.e. learning, is a drag. It's just a stage that everyone had to go through, and if those teachers can sprinkle a little knowledge on the desk seats to be unwit- tingly absorbed enroute, more power to them . But do the majority of kids here in DCHS have that attitude toward school? Not really. Oh, there's the fistful of truant slicks and class cutters who are really down on anything school ori- ented. But with Delphi's exten- sive and varied curriculum, there is usually an area of interest for every individual. The rest of the required classes are sometimes grudgingly accepted, of course. So school encourages one's interests, and hopefully helps develop career goals for later in life. There is always the excep- tion to the rule who drifts through school with little sacrifice to accuracy. But high school is much more than development and expansion of the 3 R's. It is a social learn- ing and growth. Teachers never fail in their duty to expound upon the virtue of behaving as an adult. Well, that is a part of one's education. One begins to learn the social graces, to assume responsibility , to form relationships, attitudes, and behavior acceptable to the adult mode of living. Of course, hope is always to be had for backward Karl Klutz who still doesn't know enough to laugh politely even when he doesn't get the joke.
