Dinuba High School - Delphic Echoes Yearbook (Dinuba, CA)

eff WALTER HELLBAUM FROM THE PRINCIPAL T HAS been only a few years since music has definitely become a part of every high school course of study. Less than fifteen years ago it was considered a fad or a frill. It was commonly thought that only the ones who could afford music lessons or who were especially talented should have the privilege of studying music. Now we find that the life of every individual is greatly affected by music. We whistle when we are afraid, we sing when we are happy, and we are comforted by music when we are sad and ill. Then, too, music helps us to occupy the large amount of leisure time we have each day. I consider the music department in our high school one of the strongest and most cooperative departments we have, and l want espe- cially to thank Mercedes White, the editor of the Delphic Echoes, and Mr. Hayden, the music director, for their unusual leadership in making this department the success it is. .-.9QQ.-.

Q 5 C, H. Freeman, Nina Fulton, Westley Mahling, Sadonia Kelly, Wilson Burum, Walter Hellbaum, principal THE MERIT BOARD HE Merit System was organized and perfected by Mr. Freeman, Mr. Hellbaum, and Mr. Pettit in l932. Because of its success it has been continued in this school. It was originally established to take the place of the Detention System, and it, with the Student Council, supervises all student body affairs. The Board determines all punishment of students for any act considered a misdemeanor. At the beginning of the school term each student is given one hundred merits. The loss of merits may be due to certain acts such as: forgery, cheating, unexcused tardiness and absences, leaving school grounds without an office permit, usage of bad language, and rudeness and disorderliness in halls or grounds.. A grade ot 80 is required of any student to hold an office or to participate in any school activities. A fall below 80 causes an automatic resignation of the student from his office, honor, or activity. A student is mechanically suspended who falls below the deadline of 75 merits. The Board for the year, l93'5-l936 consists of the following members: Mr. Freeman, chairman, Wilson Burum, student body president, Sadonia Kelly, Girl's League representative, Westley Mahling, Boy's Forum repre- sentative, Miss Fulton, faculty representative, and Mr. Hellbaum, honorary member. -G
