Delta possesses one of the finest groups of cheer leaders who aided the Delta softball team win that crest in the fall and turn out for any athletic activities. As the executive is a very social group they have held several meetings outside of school. One meeting was held in the Fall to make crests and prepare for field day. Another was an executive party in January sponsored by the captain and v’ce captain. A very enjoyable evening was spent and plans were formed for the Delta dance. This dance, Delta ' s Cupid Capers, was held February 17. Much time and effort was spent by the executive to make this dance a huge success. The decorations especially were very elaborate, and many very fine compliments were received by the executive. The results of this dance speak for themselves on the splendid co-operation between the students and sponsors. In basketball, we have our teams in the play-offs. We are leading for the attendance crest, and are preparing our public speakers with the object of retaining the public speaking crest. It is the hope of the Delta executive to undertake some project for the remainder of the year which will serve to utilize the assets of the executive and show our interest in our community. —Ann Bradley — 37 —

After field day, football, which was a new athletic division in L.H.S., began. The Gamma boys came out victorious. Basketball is now in full swing, with the two Senior teams and at least the Junior girls in the playoffs. The other teams have not finished the schedule yet. Keep it up! We still have Ping Pong, Volley Ball and Public Speaking Competitions in which to capture the honours. On December 9, Gamma House had its annual dance called the Holly Hop. The gymnasium was decorated in typical Christmas style, with a Christ¬ mas tree placed in the centre of the floor. Mr. Forman acted as our Santa Claus for the night. Throughout the school year, every member of Gamma House has been working hard to win victories for the purple and gold. —Ola Hyatt — 36 —

Always chew gum during school periods. It arouses the teachers interest in you and gives you a wide-awake appearance. 2. If any period proves boring, begin to read your favourite comic book. This will make you the centre of attention. 3. Try to be late each morning. It presents a wonderful opportunity for private discussions with the principal. 4. When asked a question by the teacher, answer in a roundabout man¬ ner. It gives you a mysterious air. 5. Before going to sleep in class, raise your hand so that the teacher may know you are to be awakened at the end of the period. 6. Never do your homework, no matter how little it may be. You re taking the risk of getting into the habit of it. 7. Pupils who drive Buicks, Packards and larger cars must never park them in front of the school. It is exceedingly difficult in such cases for the teachers to get their Model T ' s out. 8. loin a Trade Union, then on your next detention, nonchalantly state that you are not allowed to work overtime—it might work. 9. When caught eating candy or peanuts in class, offer some to the teacher. You will be well-liked because of your generosity.
