J mn ' n The fine standard of Omnia which began in 1959 was maintained this year, much to the pleasure of the 800 regular customers. Unfortunately, there were many problems and failings to contend with, which never were solved. In producing a newspaper such as this, time was an important factor, as shown by the third edition which took three solid days to prepare. It was obvious from the start that no member of the staff could spare this great length of time, and therefore, the periodic regularity of publication was lost. As usual, another problem was to interest a majority of the students and thereby increase sales to a reasonable figure. However, thetwistingof arms was not approved and two-thirds of the school economized. Although solutions were never found, there were three relatively successful issues before Christmas. The first dealt chiefly with Delta ' s favorite topic - school spirit. As added features, school uniforms were discussed; and for the sports minded, there was an interview with N. H. L. star Murray Oliver. The second edition continued the feature story idea and gave an account of Delta ' s adopting a foreign child. With interviews being the fad, Diane Barnes and Jack Petrie presented interesting articles on Marilyn Cantor a nd hit-parader Bobby Curtola. Then came the Christmas edition. Much to the surprise of everyone, including the teacher-counsellor, this edition more than doubled its former size to forty-four pages. This caused the price to increase to twenty cents; student protests to grow; and the sale of milk and crackers to rise. Among the many feature articles were an interview with the Travellers, a Canadian folk-singing group: parts of the Constitutional revision: an article on Juvenile Delinquency, which received praise on television from Norm Marshall; interviews with Tommy Sands and Grandpa Jones; and a heated debate on student government. The pictorial division also boomed, with eighteen pages in that section. The Omnia staff , which, all told, came to a hundred, had Jim Strecker as editor, a triumvirate of assist- ants in Dianne Barnes, Sylvia Adams, and MicheleBar; Mary Popovic keeping proper account of the deficit in her position as treasurer; and Secretary Joan Socher recording the minutes. Three of the hardest working people in the crew were Photographic Editor Ron Widdifield, who toiled fiendishly all year; Artist Merle Salvador Moorhouse; and Lay-out man Chuck Koppang, alias Kuck Choppang. In the form of feature columnists there were Steve Curtis, Platter Chatter; Les Falk and Zara McMillan on Sports; Marlene Pope and Audrey Bourassa on the Survey Beat; Lucille Yasinski and Tom Laurie doing the Spiritual work; Wayne Madden on World Affairs Club; and many others who did a wonderful job. There were no Omnias published between the Christmas holidays and Easter examinations, as school work finally won a battle with extra-curricular activity. However, our teacher-counsellor, Mr. Wong, spent many a day planning for the future editions with various ideas on how to save money, how to improve the paper, and, of all things, how to make money. The results of his and the revised Omnia staff ' s work- were seen after the exams. Thanks to all who helped with the Omnia this year.

CHEUNG KA SING Delta ' s Adopted Child Dke World .Affair CU This year saw a new club entering into activity at Delta. Under the guidance of Mr. Eatoch and Mr. Charlton, we set out to learn about the modern world in a friendly and informal way. Meeting Thursdays in the Boys ' Health Room, about 25 students have seen films dealing with prejudice and discrimination, such as Black and White in South Africa , and have heard from such speakers as Mr. Wong, who explained the balance of power in the Far East. Many meetings involved heated dis- cussions, as students expressed differing views on situations in Cuba, Laos, and the Belgian Congo. With the aid of the Red Cross Committee we arranged the adoption of Cheung Kai Sing in Hong Kong. We hope that this project will be carried on again next year.

During December a vocal group from -the choir took part in the services at St. Paul ' s United Church. Also in October an Ensemble participated in the Home and School Meeting. In November, the girls ' section of the choir took part in the Eisteddfod held at Central Secondary School and were very successful. The choir has made frequent appearances in the auditorium, and have had the chance to let the stu- dents of Delta listen to the music that we sing for other schools and in competitions. The choir had the pleasure of taking part in the commencement held in October. This meant a lot to some of the graduates who had been in the choir during the past years. At the time of this writing, the choir is in the midst of preparing for the April Kiwanis Festival held in Hamilton and also in the planning of a trip to Detroit, passing through London and Windsor on our way. We hope to include this year visits to other schools in Hamilton, such as Central Secondary School and some public schools. On our late April agenda is the Choir and Band Concert which will include music from South Pacific and great masters such as Bach. Officers for the year are: President, Phyllis Wingfield; Vice-President, Frank Kovacs; Secretary-Treasurer, Shirley Bratina. i noir Cxecutivi Frank Kovacs, Vice President: Carol Read, Social Rep.; Mr. Westall, Teacher Counsellor; Phyllis Wingfield.
