"WHAT BELONGS to Dalton stays with Dalton" was the slogan on this year's T-shirts.

And for the second consecutive year, House Dalton blew away the competition, winning by more than 500 points at the Powerade-sponsored Harrison College Inter-House Track and Field Competition at the school grounds yesterday.
