Delta High School Delta, Ohio 1977 DELHI Volume 52 STUDENT LIFE September 9, 592 of us returned to Delta High School, some for the last time. We looked around at the rest of the population whom we would see for the next 36 weeks. We were all in the same boat. We could see eagerness on each other’s face even though most tried to hide it. Who knows, we might even have some fun. 1. Julie Dcmaline shows relief at the sight of the end of the day. 2. Carmen Garcia slaves over a pot of caramel and apples for Art Club. 3. Cookies became the needed break in the french fry routine. 4. A good book and a sense of humor carried Viv Geiger through the year. 5. Diana Ramirez sums up her decorative talents to put the icing on a cake. 6. Rex Garbers and Tim McQuillin look spellbound during the fleeting minutes of the game. 7. Danny O'Neill turns a mass of clay into a masterpiece. 8. Laurie Bechtel and Mr. Gray find card games more stimulating than anatomy. 9. In order to practice first aid you must have an accident. Health class watches in horror. DELTA PUBLIC LlBPAh r Not all the time was dull at DHS. In fact, good times did outnumber the bad. When school became boring ingenious students thought of something new. 1. A feeling of speed is seen in a handoff by Lyle Meintzer. 2. Not bad Tim! 3. A new hairdo and the girls flock around A. J.” Bauman. 4. Jodie Spiess with a grin on her face and a trick up her sleeve. 5. A rowdy crew at lunch. 6. Dog Day Afternoon. As the year progressed ''messin' round” seemed to be the trend. There are always exceptions. 1. Randy Drewyor. as always, studying. The impact hit the upper classes hardest. 2. A penny for your thoughts Bennie. Quoting Mr. Griffith ... 3. Those who play must pay. No department was left untouched by this phenomenon. 4. Lynn Fred” Lees finds work nearly impossible. But DHS was prepared! 5. Freshmen were taught life saving first aid. Who knows how widespread this became. 6. Bob Schrock fends off an avid fan. Quiet moments were needed to sort out the thoughts in your head and express yourself in your own way. 1. Mark Keller sits the bench after a disappointing injury. 2. Ann VonSeggern and Kathy Harpring spend a frustrating day in accounting. 3. At times the books became the master and the student (Mark Lemon) became the slave. 4. Betty Greenlee polishes her skill on the clarinet. 5. Randy Tuckerman could always be found cleaning rooms during the late hours. d tr. 8 1. Nadine Kreiger looks to the window to see what the outside world is doing. 2.

Raydene Segrist searches for answers in a book. 3 5 Several activities were held to keep up interest in school. Two of these activities were a penny tournament held during 5-A lunch, and the painting of signs to represent the 9 schools in the NBL. Once everyone was finished eating and the tables were cleared off, the commons became a battlefield. The battle was a game of skill and some amount of luck. The object of the game was to get one of three pennies into a goal within three shots. The deciding game was played on ’'Superbowl Friday between Dave Yeager and Tim Keller. Dave Yeager pulled out the victory to take the championship. Art class spent class time preparing signs to display in the gym. Once mounted on the wall, the gymnasium took on a new look. 1. Dave Yeager concentrates on the deciding shot of the game. 2. Tim Basich takes a long shot. 3. Art class placed great pride on their work. Shown is Sue Schmitz. 4. The spoils of victory! 5. Bari Peebles puts on the final touches. I ’’Four more months! Only one month to go people.” We leave in one week and we still don't know this song good enough! ” The long awaited trip seemed like it would never come. Finally though, February 26 rolled around. After raising the needed $3,000 the Del-Aires were ready for departure. Leaving on an overcast Saturday, the Del-Aires headed for sunny Orlando, Florida to compete in a national competition. On the way down the Bel-Aires performed approximately ten concerts at various churches and colleges. The Del-Aires stayed at many people's homes on the trip, meeting many people of different life styles. Finally reaching Orlando on Thursday, the Del-Aires checked into their hotel. Singing at Disney World on Friday and Sea World on Saturday, little time was left to enjoy the pool and gameroom. Returning from Sea World at 2:00 p.m., the Del-Aires quickly dressed for the competition at Southern Florida University. The guys adorned in their baby blue tuxedos, and the girls in their blue formals, gave what Miss Hopton considered their best performance ever. Many tears were shed upon learning they only received the bronze metal. It was quickly forgotten however as the group packed up and headed for home. Returning home Monday night, the Del-A.ires came home with countless memories to share with friends and relatives. Memories that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. The coming of spring and good weather brought Delta face to face with a crisis. BIG MAC ATTACK! With the arrival of the new McDonald’s on airport highway, the office witnessed the longest sign-out sheet in the history of Delta High School. Sarge Demaline suspected an epidemic. Quick to realize the symptoms, (growling stomaches, glazed eyes, and trembling hands), she immediately rolled into action. As a result the tables were turned; the student body witnessed one of the longest detention lists in the history of Delta High School. Was the epidemic ever cured? Those who know will never tell. 1. A classic case of Big Mac Attack. 2. ’’Sometimes we pack our bags and stay a while.” 3. Jackie Williams and Ben Demaline make a fake toward the cafeteria before sneaking out to their cars. ■1. Some students are half-honest. Rich Kigar scribbles down an excuse on the sign out sheet. 5. The attack hit the teachers as well as students. Mrs. Green grimaces in pain. 6. In the dead of winter Deb Taylor and Kim Walter hike out to the parking lot. 7. Shawn Kolby races into the lunchroom. 8. This misfortunate person couldn’t recognize the symptoms. 13 The best way to see people is to catch them in the act. 1. The Delta crowd doing what comes natural, supporting the panthers. 2. I give up. what is it.” 3. This must be the hundredth time you've used that excuse on me.” 4. Sometimes the teachers find ways to release the hostilities. 5. Are you sure this is how Mickey Rooney started?” 6. The Machine” gets back at Miss Eoff. 7. ”OK! ” Where did you hide Nicki?” 14 In Memory JEFF WEBER SENIORS Class of 1977 President Mike Smith See ret ary Sandy Cortright Vice President Treasurer Eric Babcock Ben Demaline Student Council Student Council Ed Durbin Nadine Krieger 19 Mike Baun 20 Ken Bruner Tim Carney Diana Carrizales Julie Dick Annette Chamberlin Perry Cline John Crisman Theresa Currier Tina Gamber Mike McQuillin z' Curtis Mull Nancy Murray Tanya Nation Tom McWatters Lyle Meintzer Roger Nash Jack Myers Mike Putman Tina Nisely Kim Osterhout Christina Raker Diana Ramirez Regina Pike Mark Peabody 29 Becky Roberts 30 Linda Shell Patricia Soffia Trudy Todd Gail Tuckerman Sharon Von Seggern Cathy Stine Teresa Tanner Lori Stine Chris Stevens SYLVIA ALVA: Girls Track - 1.

He found D.H.S. to be a very good school system with a fine group of students and faculty. He has enjoyed teaching, and his relationship with the faculty. The most exciting times for him have been in Drivers Education. (He said he was glad at times to have the brake on his side.) He has mixed emotions about retiring, but is looking forward to it. Like a bad penny, he may return to do some substituting. He wishes the best for the students, faculty, and the school in the years to come. 71 IRENE WATKINS Secretary RALPH WEAVER Math Super Cheerleaders The Varsity Cheerleaders mended a World Cheerleading 2amp at Kenyon College on August 1-12. A staff of three headed classes that included new cheers and chants, pom pom routines, stunts, and leadership. Every day evaluations of each iquad was made on their cheering techniques. Delta’s Varsity received two excellent ribbons and two superior ribbons. A pep pennant was also awarded each day to the most spirited squad. Delta received the pennant on the first day of camp. The Delta J.V. cheerleaders attended a National Cheerleading Association Camp, the week of July 20th. During their four-day stay, the J. V.'s brought back a total of five ribbons for their performances, two outstanding and two superior ribbons and a superstar squad ribbon. The superstar squad ribbon was awarded for completing all the superstar squad station's requirements. On the last day the squad won a spirit stick for their spirit throughout that day. Both the Varsity and Reserve cheerleaders sold candles as a money making project. They received a free calculator from the company for their efforts, which was raffled off at the end of the school year. The money will be used sometime in the future to purchase new uniforms. 1.

Inj uries Add to Season s Disappointment Injuries, and also ihe lack of size gave the 1976 football team a bit of a disadvantage this past season. The Panther team played many tough teams and did a good job, but their efforts were little rewarded by only winning two games. Mr. Keith Anderson took charge of the mighty Panthers as head coach in place of Mr. Dostal, who resigned the year before. Mr. Anderson was joined by assistant coaches Randy Lintermoot and also Bill Hug. Mr. Lintermoot worked with the offensive and defensive linemen and Mr. Hug worked with the defensive linebackers and offensive ends. This was the first year for Mr. Hug as a varsity coach and he did a good job. Seniors Mike Smith, Jim Bauman and Mike Baun who were all rookies, held starting positions and proved to have talent. They were joined by Senior teammates Lyle Meintzer, Jeff Kleck, Ben Demaline, Brett Warncke, Tim Young, Mark Keller, Ray Miller, and Marc Kern. The fighting Panthers won only two games for the 1976 season. They lost their first three games and then beat Mor-enci by a score of 16-6. Their next game was Liberty Center, and they added to the homecoming festivities by beating L.C. 24-6. The underclassmen added greatly to the team and were always ready and willing to fill a position. A great many of them saw a lot of action in the games and will be playing much more in upcoming years. At the Sports Banquet, the most valuable player award went to Junior Bob Cass. Tim Young was named most improved and the Big Stick went to Senior Marc Kern. 76 Quarterback Lyle Meintzer heaving the football to open teammate downfield.

He had to learn many of the new plays and formations right along with the players, and did a good job for his first year of coaching. Although the team wasn't as big as most of its opponents they did an excellent job. Many of the team members played many different positions and showed a great deal of ability. The mighty panthers were victorious on one occasion when they beat Bryan by a score of 15-0. The freshman team should contribute greatly to the varsity squad next year. STANDING: Manager N.

Both coaches were working with a young team and did a good job teaching the girls. Barb Gerken was the reserve coach and she taught the basic fundamentals about volleyball. The girls really enjoyed having Barb as a coach and will miss her next season. Several of the reserve players will be advancing to the varsity level to participate next year. There were quite a few sophomore girls playing varsity ball who led the team to a winning season. The most valuable player and also the best spiker for the 1976 season was sophomore, Laurie Henricks. She should lead the team to many victories in future years. The best setter was senior, Linda Shelt, and junior, Lisa Bernath was the most outstanding server. The most improved player was Dawn Seigneur. All the teaching should pay off next year when the experienced players take the floor. Mrs. Pike should expect another winning season.

Steady ImprovemenI Is a Key Factor for Winning Season This past year the Cross Country team improved a great deal over the previous season. A new school record was set by Terry Koder on our home course of two miles. The team mainly consisted of juniors who should greatly add to a possible NBL Championship next year. With experience and determination they will all be working on improving their times. Senior, Terry Koder, placed 16th in the sectional meet, just missing by one place of going to the District meet. This is the best finish ever of a Delta Cross Country runner. Terry was named most valuable runner for the 1976 season. Stacy Eckert was the most improved runner by improving his time by a 1:22. Dick Frank was named the most consistent runner for the season. Coach Bob English should be looking forward to a winning season and a very experienced team next year.

Coach Churchill was satisified with the season because three school scoring records were set and this, in itself, is a big accomplishment. A low of 164 for 9 holes was set by a team of four golfers. They were Ed Beckett, Tom Demaline, Bruce Mohler and Rip Shindorf. They also set the team 18-hole record which is 329. Senior Ed Beckett set the individual 18-hole record of 78. Ed was also named the Most Valuable Player and proved to be a great asset to the team. The most improved player was Bruce Mohler, and Rip Shindorf was named the best putter for the season.

The Panthers upset Archbold and Stryker who were both undefeated. They went on to beat Wauseon in the Sectional Tournament by a score of 70-54. Delta continued on the tournament trail with an impressive win over Paulding, 86-63. With the victory over Paulding, Delta gained the right to play Lima C.C. at Ohio Northern University at Ada. The Panthers suffered an extremely low shooting percentage and lost the game 78-54. The special awards for Varsity Basketball went to Rocco Hogrefe for Outstanding Rebounder and Mike Baun for the Outstanding Shooter. Jim Bauman and Dan Burkholder both received the Mr. Hustle award, and the most improved awards went to Mike Smith and Parry Myers. Senior, Mike Baun was named to first team in the NBL. He averaged 15.2 points per game and led the team to the Sectional Title this past season. Jim Bauman was named second team NBL and both Jim and Mike were selected to play in the District All-Star Game. The Panthers proved themselves as winners by having a winning season. Although seven seniors will be lost through graduation, the Panthers should be a top contender for the league championship next year. Mike Smith disputes referee's call.

The freshman basketball team under Coach Randy Lintermoot had another fine season ending with an excellent 10-2 record. The freshmen played quality basketball all year, losing only two ball games, both of which were squeakers. Not only did the freshmen show a lot of talent they also showed a lot of poise in the closing moments of close games. In three years as a freshman coach, Randy Lintermoot has led his teams to a three year total of 28-6. This only shows the talent aspect of the freshman program. The program has also been able to build teamwork and to develop the poise needed to play varsity basketball. The talent displayed by this year's freshmen will keep the basketball program at Delta alive in future years. Next year as sophomores, this year's frosh will be welcomed by coaches Bill Hug and Jim McBride into the junior varsity and varsity ranks. This year's team has been a very fine example of the quality basketball players turned by the freshman basketball program here at DHS. 89 Della GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Opponent Score 32 Genoa 36 30 Evergreen 26 29 Elmwood 63 34 Wauseon 37 48 Napoleon 62 42 Stryker 71 45 Bryan 49 16 Archbold 59 45 L.

The very same week they kept their momentum going and surprised the Archbold Bluestreaks by a score of 69 to 58. The season was highlighted by the commendable efforts of Brett Warncke, Mike Smith, and Rip Shindorf. The latter two made their way to State where they competed in the AA Finals. Senior Brett Warncke proved himself a tough competitor by breaking two school records. His records now stand at 52.0 in the 440 and 20.6 in the 180 low hurdles. Brett was chosen the Most Valuable runner on the team. Mike Smith shattered the old record in the pole vault of 12’7 . He continually broke his own record throughout the season before vaulting to 18’6 at State. Mike took a third with that vault, which is now the new school record. He received the Most Improved award at the Spring Banquet. Rip Shindorf qualified for State in the high jump and also the long jump. Rip is only a junior and will be back next year to compete and hopefully break a school record. Mr. Anderson was pleased with the efforts of the entire team, but especially with the underclassmen who played a major role in the outcome of the meets. Next year Delta should have better depth and will be a major force in the NBL. 98 Breti Wamcke shows good form as he nears the finish line. Rip Shindorf makes his way over the bar in the high jump.

The annual bonfire was held October 8 which was the night before the football game. Shivering, but spirited fans, left the high school on their march for victory. The Snake Dance wound around town chanting cheers and cries for the Panthers. Arriving at their destination, the crowd gathered around the fire to hear a few words from captains and coaches. The atmosphere of the game the following evening had changed very little. The Juniors had altered the weekend into more than just a dance. The Queen and her court were introduced riding on floats created by their classes representing the four seasons. They were: Freshman - Lisa Mull, Sophomore -Julie Noss, Juniors - Julie Demaline and Lisa Bernath, and Seniors - Sue Schmitz, Jonee Beal, and our 1976 Homecoming Queen, Miss Dawn Bryan who was crowned on the field by 1975 Queen Deb Williams. Juniors received a trophy for the best float which was the season ’’Spring. The football team made the weekend even more complete by chalking up their second victory against the Liberty Center Tigers, 24-6. The Homecoming Dance was changed to Saturday night instead of Friday after the game to permit a longer evening. Juniors worked steadily Saturday afternoon decorating the commons in preparation for the upcoming even. They chose Welcome to Futureworld 2076 as their theme and veiled the commons in a gown of glitter. Once again, the Queen and her court were introduced with their escorts. Dawn was escorted by Jim Bauman, Sue by Ben Demaline, Jonee by Mark Keller, Julie Demaline by Mike Smith, Lisa Bernath by Tim McQuillin, Julie Noss by Bob VonSeggern, and Lisa Mull by Jeff Kleck. An evening of dancing was accompanied by the band Cracker Jack. 101 Homecoming RIGHT: Jim Bauman escorting Dawn Bryan to her coronation.

The Freshman class showed their talents by performing a wide variety of pantomimes. A fine show was enjoyed by the whole student body. 105 Speech Show Goes Country Live and in concert, Elvis Presley, Donna Fargo, Conway Twitty, Dolly Pardon, Porter Wagner, the Hagar twins, and numerous others were brought to you by the 1976 Speech Class. A fantastic display of talent, characterizing and costuming by speech class members, made all of the skits enjoyable, and each character portrayed his pa)r with striking individuality. We can’t forget the stage crew! Charlie Chaplan, Laurel and Hardy, that old time movie star, the bathing beauty, the girl in stripes, and that man who's always chasing her. It was a lively bunch that added excitement to the show. The commercials presented by numerous individuals and groups really hit the spot! We all know how bad some TV commercials are, but the speech show group really made commercials look ridiculous. In the secondhalf, Dolly Pardon and Porter Wagner received a warm welcome to the stage after the Hee Haw gang was already in action.

This year’s Drama Show presented the student body with a whole new meaning for the word classy. Kay Star's Drama classes centered the show around the much loved (and hated) Gong Show. The show was complete with terrible but entertaining acts and a tasteless panel. In this year’s show a new star was born, the Big Fig (Mr. Keith Anderson). Not only were there the much loved and enjoyed record pantomimes but there were also ’hilarious skits, talented musical renditions and tear jerking dramatic readings. All in all it proved to be a very good show. Student Council The Student Council wit- B ' nessed a very successful year. ' Its success was due to a united group effort. They planned on having an asembly every month, and to boost the treasury they held bake sales, coat check, a paper drive, raffled off the game football and basketball and they also worked in concessions. These projects created a balance in the treasury so that next year the majority of the assemblies should be frer.. In addition to making money, they helped to make the Homecoming festivities run smoothly. The entire school became involved when the Student Council sponsored Hat Day. It turned out to be fun for all those students and teachers who participated. Prizes were given to the most unique and original hat of the day. Swanton High School visited our school on an exchange program to see how our school is operated during a normal school day. Ideas were exchanged and it is hoped that other schools will be able to participate in the future. Some of the assemblies that were held each month during the year were: Halloween movie. Speech Show, Christmas program. Sunshine Express, Del-Aires, Army drum and Bugle Corps, Drama Show, a movie by the PepsiCola Co. entitled Tune- Lln. A 1.

A large number of upperclassmen turned out to enjoy the dinner of exotic island dishes and an evening of tribute to the senior class. After the Delta merchants held several drawings for assorted prizes, Mike Smith, the Senior Class President, thanked the juniors for putting on the banquet. Melanie Shumate, the Junior Class President, also spoke, reminding us of the good times the two classes have shared and wishing the seniors good luck in the future. Mr. Basich then read the traditional Senior Story, written this year by Jackie Williams. Everyone enjoyed hearing Lynn Lees of Delta, compared to Dorothy, of the land of Oz. It was a very enjoyable banquet. All the juniors and seniors that attended had a good time sharing one last experience together. Mr. Gerken announcing the winner of a door prize. Everyone listens closely to the senior story. Everyone waiting patiently for the dinner to begin. ' ------------------------------- 110 Conni Baun and Ronnie Mull serve the Hawaiian delicacies. Midnight in Haivaii The Junior Class presented their prom. Midnight in Hawaii. to the Seniors on April 30, 1977. It was held at the Sportsmen’s Club in Wauseon. The juniors worked many long hours decorating the club and their efforts were worthwhile. The theme was displayed by palm trees and murals of volcanoes, sandy beaches, and the blue ocean. The decorations turned out beautifully and the dance was a big success. The sophomore servers were Holly Adkins. Conni Baun, Teresa Eberly, Tracy Wamcke, Mark Haupricht, Ronnie Mull, Mike Shumaker, and Tim Turi. The girls wore grass skirts with a halter top and the boys wore cutoffs. The Now and Then Trio played for the dance. They entertained with a number of slow dances but livened things up with a requested square dance. When the formal dance came to an end everyone changed into jeans, and it was off to the Star Auto Drive-In to view Silver Streak. After the movie, everybody gathered at the Wauseon Lanes to bowl a few games. ' The Now and Then Trio” entertained at the prom. 11 1. Duane gets a little help from a friend. 2.

ORGANIZATIONS Del-Hi Improving the yearbook was the major goal of this year’s Del-Hi staff. A workshop was attended at Ohio University by Laura Cass, Mike Basich, and Jodi Gerken to bring back new and better ideas on how to lay out a more interesting yearbook. John Crisman, Jeff Williams, and Jodi Gerken shared the position of photographer. They kept the pictures coming in to give the members a larger selection and variety to choose from. Due to a shortage of members attending meetings, Mrs. Green (Advisor), John Crisman (Editor), Laura Cass and Mike Basich (Co-Editors), and Jodi Gerken (Copy Editor), and a few other members spent many hours making up for missed deadlines. Meetings were held at least twice a week and sometimes on Saturday. I. LEFT-RIGHT: L. Gilson, J. Gerken, Mrs. Green. M. McQuillin. R. Evans. S. Forrest. O. Whitcomb. ROW 2: J. Crisman, C. Weber, J.

It was a promising year from the start as Miss Eoff (advisor) led the way along with co-editors Jackie Williams and Tom McWatters. The staff proved to be one of the largest in quite a few years. With more people to work, the Green and White grew almost to the point where the treasury wouldn’t cover the amount of pages to be printed. At the break between semesters, Mr. Churchill took some of the burden off the hard-working staff by assigning Green and White articles to his journalism class. Many long Mondays were spent, hurrying to get out the paper so it would be back by the end of the month. Happy memories were produced in the small workroom - ones which will undoubtedly linger for a long time. 1. Tom McWatters and Jackie Williams. A sneak preview of the newspaper. 2.

At the outset of the year, they held a Halloween party for new members which was complete with a haunted house and good food. After a fierce battle against the elements, they got organized again, and after a few torturous hours, survived their annual FTA Day in which the students take over the teachers' classes. This year the Future Teachers were lead by the fearless Mrs. Shindorf, who guided the not-so-fearless executive staff of Bret Warncke (President), Nadine Krieger (Vice-President), LuAnn Gillen (Secretary), Stacy Eckert (Treasurer), and Rip Shindort (Student Council).

FFA The annual roller skating party started off a year of events for the Future Farmers of America. The party was held at the Swanton Coliseum and the entire student body was invited. When hunting season came around, the guys were given a chance to show off what kind of shot they are. They held their annual Game Supper at Winameg Grange Hall. The evening was considered successful when everyone brought in some kind of game. Mr. Bertz, the FFA advisor, set up visits to ponds in the area and the organization studied pond construction. Then the annual citrus fruit sale was held and awards were given at the spring FHA-FFA Banquet. Top salesman and junior salesman this year was Larry Geiger. Top senior was Kevin Rising, sophomore was Ron Mull, and freshman was Bob Stayer. The banquet was held honoring FFA Week, February 19-26, and the members chose Theresa Eberly as their sweetheart for next year. The chapter ended their season with a trip to Mt.

Mr. Cain waiting for the raising of the flag at a football game beginning the “National Anthem. What would be a better way for the band to prepare for a new season than by attending band camp! The thirty-six members of the band, under their new director, Mr. Donald Cain, spent a week of their summer at Camp Wesley. They came back to Delta tuned up and ready to play for the first football game. Throughout the marching season, the band put on a variety of halftime shows with themes ranging from pop music to a bicentennial program. They ended the season with an arrangement which honored their seniors. It was composed of songs chosen from the past four years of marching band. Flag girls served as an added attraction to the band this year. They put a great amount of work into making up routines which went along with the band's music. The band switched into concert playing as they prepared for the Christmas season. Several concerts were held and before the members knew it, it was time for State Contest. For many years, Delta has not sent their band to compete. But, with many long hours of practice, the band brought home an excellent II rating. The officers of band were Lynn Lees (President), Rick Reckner (Vice-President), Raydene Seg-rist (Secretary), Cathy Stine (Treasurer), and Robin Nofzinger (Student Council). 1.

Chorus Once again, the choral program went very well under the direction of Miss Pamela Hopton. The chorus began the year with their first concert in November. They performed such songs as: Elijah Rock, The Last Words of David, ” ”King of Kings,'' Rock the Boat, Boogie Woogie Bugle Bo,”, Oklahoma, and Bohemian Rhapsody. ’' In early December the chorus traveled to Southwyck Mall and performed their Christmas concert for the shoppers. This gave them a chance to perform their concert a few days before they held their annual Christmas concert in the high school gym. A big event is the All-County concert. Students from seven area high schools participated and among them were twenty- nine Delta members. In the spring, the chorus traveled to State competition where they received a II rating. The officers this year were Lynn Lees (President), Rick Reckner (Vice-President), Melanie Shumate (Secretary -Treasurer), Jamie Galbraith (Student Council), and Nancy Miller (Librarian).

Del-Airs The 1976-77 edition of the Del-Airs isn't just a group of kids haphazardly thrown together because of a common interest. Only singing together in their second year, the Del-Airs became closely knit by the ever exuberant director, Miss Pamela Hopton. This was a group which each member will always remember and cherish for the rest of their life. Many hard working, but happy moments were spent behind those clanking double doors of the band and chorus room. Most of the year, benefit concerts, bake sales, flower sales, and candle sales, led up to the long awaited tour to Florida in late February. However, the Del-Airs did not stop when the tour was over. It wouldn’t have kept in tune with the rest of the year. With only 20 days left on the Senior Calendar, the Del-Airs were still learning new music. THAT'S - what made the Del-Airs so truly rewarding.

Meeting three days a week, the group learned many different types of music. The girls sang spirituals, such as Jericho, madrigal music, and pop music. At the spring concert, pop music was the theme and the Women’s Glee sang Nadias Theme, from the soap opera, The Young and the Restless, and Gossip Joan and I Write the Songs by Barry Manilow. Next year the group would like to have as many members as possible so they may attend contest. Men's Glee also participated in the spring concert. They sang Kodachrome. Bill Grogan’s Goat, and Black and White. Having only seven members they performed well. Women’s and men's glee were presented with pins as their awards. MEN’S GLEE: ROW 1: K. Evans, D. Fry, J.

Now it’s time to look back and remember the good times as well as the bad. For the seniors, it’s a nostalgic as well as magical time of the year. The graduating class feels mixed emotions. For some there is relief, for their hard work has paid off. Others feel sadness at the thought of leaving their old home. We can’t linger too long for life doesn't end with high school; it goes on. The 1977 Del-Hi was made by a group of creative and hard working students. The book is bound by the untiring efforts of the staff along with the guidance of the advisor and trimmed with patient. thorough, and uncompromising work of each member. The completion of a book is no easy task. Outside the selling of ads, designing of the book, and photography, each page takes a minimum of three hours to make. Pages must be designed, dummy sheets drawn up, pictures cropped, copy typed, and last, a final sheet drawn. As editor I would like to thank the entire staff for their long hours of hard work. I would like to thank my coeditors for their invaluable ideas, work, and management, and last Mrs. Green for her priceless guidance, dedication, and sense of humor. ToT
