Delta ' s chess club got off to a slow start, because of the shift system and the loss of a couple of good players who graduated. The membership generally has remained constant, consisting of a few new players from the lower grades. . Our teacher-counsellor is Mr. Kornelsen, and the officers are president, Bill Budnark; vice-president, John Valdmanis; treasurer, Wayne Powel, and secretary, Helmut Mueller. We appreciate Mr. Forrests ' s allowing the chess club to use his room for our regular meetings, both this year and last. Because of a slow start no tournaments have been arranged with any other schools, but tournaments will be arranged within the club to find the top players. When the school returns to the regular day system, the noon-hours will be used for playing. Many of the players are new this year, but under the guidance of our teacher and the senior players most of the members are performers of fairly good calibre. In the future we hope to have a larger turnout, with the result of a better club for our school. Walk CU This year, underthe leadershipof Mr. Kornelsen, a new organization was formed. Mr. Kornelson desired to give the students a clearer and broader conception of the professions in which mathematics plays a part, as well as give us some idea of the advanced forms of mathematics. He arranged to have people come to speak to the Mathematics Club, and he also arranged visits to places where mathematics is used and taught. A Chartered Accountant came and gave a talk on the mathematical background and training required to become a C.A. A few weeks later the Math Club went to MacMaster University, where three mathematics professors outlined and explained the content of the math courses taught there. At the conclusion of their lectures, we toured the new Engineering Building. The Math Club went to a demonstration given by Mr. Wilkinson of the business machines most commonly found in commerce. The head of the Quality Control Department at Dafasco also came to speak to us about the practical applications of Probability and Statistics. BACK: Left to Right, Dave Spence, Don Maule.

We started it off with the very success- ful Delta Beanie Day , at which time almost every student wore a beanie. Result: almost eight hundred beanies were sold. On October 31 the Red Cross, along with the Current Affairs Club, dressed in Halloween costumes to raise enough money to adopt an orphan and Delta thus became a foster parent. At the termination of the November exams, the Pizza Prance was held. The profits from this dance went to buy toys for the Hamilton United Services, which gave the toys out at Christmas to needy children. During the year donations were sent to Care, Red Cross Crippled Children ' s Fund, the Mountain Sana- tarium, and the Red Cross Dental Aid Fund. On behalf of the Red Cross, I would like to thank all the students of Delta for their support, and I hope that their support will continue in the years to come. S. nior C xecutive One day late in September, at a meeting in room 216, someone in the crowd said, Quid faciamus? , and was immediately answered by Miss Snell, Concilium constituere debemus. ; Miss Plewman, Nous devrions faire un comite ' . ; and Mr. Stevenson, 163 x $2.00 . . . . And so, it came to pass that on that day was born the Senior Executive for 1960-61. This inexperienced but devout crew managed to turn out what was acclaimed to be the most stupendous, amazing Grad-Dance and Banquet ever held within these hallowed halls. Even the Montgomery team deigned to risk denting their fins in city traffic just to attend this magnificent affair. A casual dance, ' The Sahara Swing ' was held the next night. The group then retired until Grad-Pin time, when it was again forced into action. Thi was a most successful Senior Executive. D. Feat hers tone, I. Smith, L. Martin, W. Skaret, C. Dinning, D.

The forty members have worked hard to provide an efficient, co-operative library service. Our new members soon learn that there is a great deal of difficult and time- consuming work involved in operating a li- brary, but they, as well as the older mem- bers, find satisfaction in the work and are duly rewarded — with Junior and Senior Badges in the ninth and tenth grades, pin and guard in the eleventh and ring in the twelfth — if they have put in the re- quired number of hours of service. This year the highest award, the Library Club ring, was won by Elizabeth Lawryk and Sandra Lewis. Our delayed Christmas bowling party was held on January 28th, with refresh- ments served afterward at the home of Lynn Laidlaw, with the Social Committee assisting the hostess. The officers elected for the year 1960-1961 are as follows: Past-President, Marilyn Hodgson; President, Elizabeth Lawryk; Vice President, Ghislaine olenbrander; Recording Secretary, Joyce Hamilton; Corresponding Secretary Shirley Meikle; Treasurer, Gail Robertson; Social Committee, Roseanne Tonus, Christine Brown; Representative to Pub- lications Committee, Gwen Crawford. Ljoutlt jfor i hflit This year at Delta, the Youth for Christ Club made its appearance as an off-shoot of the Bible Club of former years. The club functions in order to provide a balance in the students ' school life by offering a reli- gious side to the already scholastic, athletic and social functions. Attendance this year has been far from record-breaking, but those who have attended have enj oyed debates , panel discussions , films , speakers, music, and a few parties. Delta again sported a quiz team, comprised of six members who compete against teams from other high schools. Results at present are un- known and unrevealed. It is the hope of most of our members that in the f utur e the Y.F.C. Club will increase to become an interesting and vital part of Delta school life. D. Cooper, M. Mizibrocky, A. Walker, L.
