C dltoria I I quote from a poem used by the late King George VI I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown. And he replied, Go out into the darkness And put your hand Into the hand of God. That shall be to you Better than a light And safer than a known way. Often we as students have reached out for a light in darkness, but have found that light only within ourselves. As many of us go into the world and others take one step closer to it, we must remember no one can give us that light. It comes from within. I wish to thank all who have given of their time and talents in the publication of this book and . especially Mr. Howlett who has been most helpful and always ready to offer suggestions for im- provement.

Principal 5 l l t First of all I wish to congratulate the staff and students on their excellent contribution towards the extra-curricular programme of the school during the past year, the record of which is contained in this magazine. In spite of the shift system we have enjoyed a very successful year, and this has been due to the enthusiasm, leadership and hard work of staff members and students. For your participation, leadership and excellent contribution, I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation. Periodically it is a good thing to look back over the years to note the progress, and to attempt to evaluate the changes and the work which has been done, in order to assist us in charting the cou; se for the future. This week a young man called at the office requesting an interview. He was a complete stranger to me until he informed me that hehadbeena Grade 9 student at the Central High School of Commerce on Sanford Avenue during the school year of 1949-50. He reminded me that in an Assembly that year I had urged them to draw-up a five or ten year Plan for their lives, and then work to achieve its objectives. At the same time I had invited them to contact me ten years later to report their progress. He said that the ten years were up, and he was reporting as requested. It was a story of struggle, of ups and downs, but of steady progress towards the achievement of his goal which was the ministry. He reported that he was now engaged in active church work as a minister, and still striving to complete and to improve his educational quali- fications. Space does not permit the writing of a history of Delta during those ten years. From the opening of the new addition in the fall of 1950 which changed Delta from a straight Academic Collegiate to a com- posite school with an enrolment of around 1700, there has been a steady growth in attendance which has reflected the development and growth of our East End Community. To trace this growth in attendance, to record the changes in staff, the academic and extra-curricular achievements of the students who have attended and graduated from Delta during those ten years, would fill volumes. But the story, if written, would indicate change, development and progress, we hope, in working out the Plan of the Master Archi- tect of the Universe. As the present students of Delta Secondary School entering a new decade — the sixties — have you a Plan for the future? Where and what will you be doing in 1970 — a short ten years away? Now is the time to formulate that Plan, to set-up objectives for the next ten years, so that when 1970 arrives you can say you have achieved this or that in the sixties, and are now ready to plan for the 70 ' s. For your Plan for the 70 ' s will depend entirely on what you achieve in the 60 ' s. To-day let us Plan — W ork — and Achieve . -c .j 4 i%
