Among all of the activities of the tenth grade class, the memory that lingers on is
that of the Sophomore Hop. This gala affair was held in the gym, which was brightly
decorated by the Sophomore Planning Committee. After choosing a theme, these
students worked to design and prepare settings appropriately colorful and fitting for
the occasion. Highlighting the evening was the crowning of the queen and the pres­
entation of her lovely court. For all who participated, this dance will always be an
outstanding event of their sophomore year at Delhaas.

With a great deal of anticipation every senior looks for­
ward to the Washington Trip. This annual class trip covers
a period of three days during which time the students
engage in activities which are designed to give educational
benefits as well as a great deal of enjoyment.
After attending a breakfast prepared by the juniors, the
seniors leave for Washington, D. C. During the course of
the trip, such places as the White House, Annapolis, and
the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are visited. Not only
educational benefits, but social activities are also a part
of our itinerary; such as, visits to a play and a well-known
restaurant. In the years that follow, these happy and
momentous days will be treasured and remembered with
pleasure as another eventful chapter in our lives.

These Student Council members eagerly and happily assemble for a meeting in which they
shall present ideas and suggestions from the entire student body. Also through such meetings
a closer relationship is formed between students and faculty.



One of the most worthwhile and important organizations at Delhaas is the Student Council. The goal of this
governing body is to provide an active student representation which will represent the wishes and sugges­
tions of each individual student, and work actively for the betterment of D.H.S.

The group is composed of five officers and a representative from each homeroom. It is the individual duty
of each member to set an example for active participation and leadership in school organization as well as
to cultivate the basic tenets of citizenship and scholastic endeavor.

Good morning! This is station W .D .H .S.
Every day this familiar sound travels to
every corner of D.H.S. and brings with
it numerous announcements pertaining to
school life and various activities. Audi­
tions are held and such qualities as voice
and rate are carefully considered when
choosing the staff. The staff, comprised of
representatives from each grade level, is
divided into three groups which rotate
weekly.
Through W .D .H .S. a real unity is estab>
lished in that each student and teacher
has a common knowledge of everything
concerned with our school. What could be
more important?




The intricate mechanism of our public address system shown above is operated
by a group of students. It is used primarily to inform students throughout the

Across the hall from our guidance depart­

been newly decorated and the books are
conveniently catalogued by the librarian
for use by all students. Working along with
the librarian are the assistants who volunteer
their services during their free periods.
Checking passes, signing in and out books,
and other varied duties are a few of their
responsibilities. The librarian and bis
assistants do a wonderful job in the handling
of the school’s literature.

Providing an insight to the teaching pro­
fession is the main objective of the Future
Teachers of America. Through this organ­
ization, those students who have a fervent
desire to become teachers can explore the
field and discover its advantages and dis­
advantages. Existing on national, state, and
local levels, F.T.A. has undoubtedly helped
many of our students to make that all im­
portant decision on the teaching career.
These “ future teachers” attend educational
conferences and in some cases participate in
student teaching. By gaining priceless knowl­
edge and experience, the Delhaasites who
are members, will later on appreciate the
opportunities offered by this worthwhile
organization.

The Delhaas chapter of the National
Honor Society, consisting of juniors and
seniors, was organized in 1955-56 and
since that time has adopted the national
constitution.
Four qualifications are necessary in order
to become a member of the National Hon­
or Society. They are: good scholarship,
service to the school, leadership ability,
and a commendable character. When the
committee is deciding which students will
become members of the group, each of
these is given equal consideration.
The National Honor Society is strictly
a service organization. During the year
its members attempt to complete one
major project, along with other smaller
ones. Each senior in the organization re­

Existing now for four years, the Key
Club, a service organization, serves
school, community, and country. Weekly
meetings are held to plan an agenda for
helping hands. To be a member you must
be a leader, outstanding, and have the
desire to serve. Composed of all male
members, the Delhaas Chapter is spon­
sored by the Kiwanis Club of Levittown
and is a part of the Key Club Interna­
tional. During this school year, the boys
held a clothing drive for needy children
and were in charge of publicity and pro­
gram for the Senior Play. Besides these
and other activities, you can always count
on the Key Club to offer their time,
energy, and service.

Hockey is a popular nation-wide sport
for girls. One must have an understanding
of the game and the potential to play
the sport.

Here at Delhaas we are extra proud of
our team. The girls are out on the field
practicing, each day of the season, to
improve their skills and fundamentals.
Their hard work and enthusiasm to win
make them an outstanding team. Even
though our girls weren’t tops at scoring
in Lower Bucks County this past season,
we know they had sportsmanship to top
all others.

are proud of you!

necessities to become successful in the

are placed in either one of eleven weight
divisions ranging from 95-180 lbs. There­
fore members of our team continually
strive to maintain their weight, while

in order to “ pin” their opponents. By

matches is invaluable to these hard-work­
