Delia Houghton

I'm sorry to hear this. Miss Houghton was a teacher who expected the very best from her studrnts. I can't remember the Latin, but I do remember "All Gaul was divided into three parts'. It was the first line in our fat little Latin

I have know Delia since I was a little boy, I stayed the house that used to be behind Delias my mother and Delia were best friends and my grand father is Havery Schoppee

consistent and considerate, and demanded and deserved the respect of her students.

A superior teacher and friend. I shall always remember her with fondest memories. Class of '50.
