Wkat We Sbon ' t Weed My years at D.S.S. have been memorable indeed, so memorable that I am compelled to send a few tentacles into the dark corners of my memory and recall a few of my pet peeves and good times. I never did like the farce of school spirit perpetrated on the student body by the Minority , who wanted the Majority to join or attend something, contribute to something, or buy something. Many times the majority was criticized for their lack of support for a school project - but the minority was usually to blame they were always there telling the majority off instead of letting the product or organization sell itself. If the product was good it would have sold well but if it was not, it shouldn ' t have been forced on everyone. Second on the list are those wonderful ElectionCampaigners of the late ' 50 ' s. In these the candidates worked, the assistants worked, but most of all, the school worked. There were big parades through the halls every day; and there were decorated cars and trucks, patrolling the streets around the school, before and after hours. If the candidates were unknown to you at the outset, it was impossible for you not to know them by the end. All this was for the distinct pleasure and privilege of having their picture eventually hung in the halls. The next item from that far-reaching tentacle is those lectures. Lectures are fine; they are great, as long as the teacher sticks to the subject or even goes so far as to give a few pointers on studying. But tell me: who wants to listen to a teacher ' s life experiences for a complete period? It has often been said that only the bad things are remembered. Can you actually believe that? Can you remember only those minor blots on the school ' s history, instead of the many honours that have been won in sports, music and other activities? I think that if you just sit back, relax, and try, you will be able to remember thousands of enjoyable and wonderful events from your life at school. There are many things we don ' t need — but let us not include among these our memories of DELTA. Richard Boden 13 G 2 Jhe Standi of oLife W, e are as grains of sand upon the Shore Of life. We each have our place on this shore, Minute, though it may seem, and each of us is Purposely placed, to fulfil the Creator ' s plan. As a grain of sand is disturbed by the lapping Of a wave, momentarily upsetting its peaceful abode upon the shore, So are our lives disturbed by waves of trouble and pain — For waves and troubles come and go as the tide, But there is consolation; and, even if only for a little while, There is peace for both Mineral and Mortal. But then at last, both are swept away by the Foreboding Wave of Death, into the Sea of Eternity, Only to be replaced again by another. Carol Steward 11 G 2
