Being a star athlete takes a great deal of time and effort but Murlln Gates, in addition to this, has found time to indulge his interest in taxi- dermy. Lacking the opportunity for for- mal training, he has, through his own initiative and through careful study, become proficient. Hobbies are very common with most people, but they aren't always carried out as far as the flying hobby of Zora Jackson. Taking' an aviation course at the XValla Walla airport, she became skillful in the art of handling an air- plane. Dayton residents have frequently spotted her as she passed over town on flights from the airport to her home on the Tucanon. Lloyd Rainwater's unique hobby for the past year has been working puppets. His interest in this activity was aroused through the presentation of two puppet shows at the Christian church. His suc- cess in management of the puppets is due to constant practice and diligence. For a number of years Marvin Elwell has been interested in l!Bdl0 work. Dur- ing this time he has succeeded in build- ing a. number of sets that really operate. Marvin finds that spare time spent in pursuit of his hobby yields profitable results, His companion in this picture is Gene Jones who also feels the bite of the radio bug.

l X Administration SCHOOL BOARD Such extra duties as supervising the construction of the new athletic field, track, bleachers, field house, bus garage and farm shop building and the instal- lation of new lighting system in the Central School building have kept the Dayton School board very active this term. The board handled all of these unusual administrative activities in addition to the regular duties. The members of the 1936-1937 school board are: H, H. Boone, Gustav Hansen, and Dr. G. W. McCauley. Maurice Roe is the clerk. NEW SPRINKLING SYSTEM Some very interesting water sprinklers were purchased by the board to irri- gate the athletic field. There are two of them, self-moving at the rate of 30 feet per hour. The power is developed from the water pressure, They each operate on 150 feet of hose and cover an area of 150 feet wide and 300 feet long. An automatic valve stops the flow of water when the sprinkler has traveled the length of the hose. Four hydrants were installed on the field so that the machines could be moved in any direction. The sprinklers are for the' field exclusively because the school lawns are not large enough to warrant their use. OPEN HOUSE November 13, marked the date of the annual Dayton Schools Open House display and program. Both high and grade school buildings were open for in- spection and a program of music by student groups was conducted in the au- ditorium. One of the most interesting exhibitions was the demonstration of tatooing carried on by the Chemistry class, The new public address system was used on the program for the first time in the school. Miniature stage settings in Miss Cleveland's room, Mr. Thompson's new agriculture room, and a biology exhibit helped to complete the open house display.
