ou HAVE traveled together along the Road of Education during your two years as a student at Delhi. Now you have come to the crossroads, and you and your classmates leave Delhi in different directions. Whatever road you choose shall take you far away from the familiar scenes and faces which we of the FiDELlTAS staff have as¬ sembled in this volume. We hope that now and again you will pause and look back down the road to Delhi, and in so doing, be pleasantly reminded of affairs and places almost forgotten. It is the purpose of this book to refresh your memory and take you back along the road that leads to the village of Delhi and the Class of 1949.

.44.44.44.44.44.44 Se4uxi Qlaii UR CLASS CONSISTED of 104 members which made it the largest graduating class to date. About 40% of the class were veterans of World War II. Some of them lived in neatly painted barracks on Wall Street, in Brookside Apartments, or in Academy Hall. Many veterans brought their wives to Delhi. While daddy mastered Genetics, Junior screamed for attention. During our brief 2 years on the hill we saw many changes taking place as the school went thru a period of growing pains. New instructors and new buildings were added. We greeted the girls in the reinstated Secretarial-Commercial course with wide open arms. We brought the Oracle back to life again, and made it into an active campus newspaper that voiced the students’ opinion of school life—so much so that we organized a Student Council. The social life of the Dairy Industry students was given a badly needed boost with the formation of the Dairy Industry Club, which had an initial membership of 20 students. Yes, the Class of ' 49 left a lasting impression on the hill campus. We studied hard and had plenty of fun besides. We will especially remember the wonderful Christmas party the Senior girls gave us. Open House nights and basketball games. Thru rain, wind and drifting snow we struggled to make an eight o’clock class. We wondered if spring would ever come to Delaware County. One sunny day the hillsides lost their covering of snow and the brown patches turned green again. It was spring, and time for the Class of ’49 to start a new Journey down the Road of Life.
