Mr. Dennis Palmer __ was successful in teaching many students ad- vanced skills that will be useful to them in the future, as well as the present. The year's activi- ties were recorded and reported by the Annual Newspaper Class under the most patient direction of Mrs. Adrian Bunn.

Dayton High Freshmen began new experiences as they started their days at D.H.S. Many who took classes from Mr. Harshman for the first time found out what true discipline was all about. Seniors experimented raising a family with a mock wedding, children which were called eggfants. and a divorce. Freshman, Sophomores. Juniors, and Seniors, as you can see, spent many days hardly working which made each day at D.H.S. a little more humorous. Get to work??? What's that?! A typical day at school! 3 FRESHMAN INITIATION Freshmen continue tradition Freshman initiation at D.H.S. was an exciting event for everyone On Octo- ber 7 this year Freshman girls were as- signed to Senior boys, and Freshman boys to Senior girls. Several highlights of the day occured when Seniors walked Main Street and when they en- tertained the student body at the week- ly pep assembly. The halls of D.H.S. were filled with characters of unusual dress and style. Deanna Spalsnger's Pillsbury Dough Boy costume helped her win the best dressed prize. A Smurf, a Santa and a Raggedy Ann were just a few of the oth- er noticeable characters. day of Freshman Initiation. STUDENT SPIRIT Let's Yell Students enjoy com- panionship after aca- demic hours at D.H.S. Favorite pastimes al- ways include attending Bulldog Sport activities and after game dances.

Yet the almosts. disap- pointments we cried, grieved, and eventually laughed about, will also be a significant part of our thoughts when we reminisce. Jill Hatfield funs from Nick Russel during powder puff game. Silent Communication. S LIFE AT D.H.S. CURRENT EVENTS In the news ... This year in the news U.S. relations with Russia rapidly deteriorated. The first major conflict between the two superpowers occurred when the Soviets shot down a Korean passenger jet and tried to lay the blame on the U.S. Also, the Soviets walked out of the arms talks convention in Geneva after the U.S. began deploying medium range missiles in Europe. Also in the news. U.S. troops remained in Lebanon, yet they finally received the order to shoot back. The order came after 269 marines were killed by a car bomb. While the U.S. forces quickly moved into Grenada and stomped out all communist intervention in that small Latin American country. In sports. Superbowl XVII was a blowout. The Los Angeles Raiders made an easy victory over the Washing- ton Redskins. As world events remained uncertain, local news was more promising. A revitalization plan was beginning to take effect as Dayton merchants began taking action. Also a school levy passed which allowed the school board to begin remodeling the interior of both the elementary and high school.

Front Row: Secretary Margaret Eaton. Treasurer Nichole Run- nels. During the first year of high school there were many things to grow accustomed to. After orientation, there was the confusion of deciding what classes to take, and the fright of not knowing just how to act. As classes were more difficult, studying habits became more in- tense. SEMESTER OFFICERS The class of '87, added enthusiasm at Bulldog games and pep rallies, and many participated in sports, some making the Varsity Squads. Other class members took active roles in other campus activities. Freshmen found time to raise money for future class activities. They cheerfully exper- ienced the ups and downs of their first high school year. Back Row: President Jon Boggs. Vice President Leon Bena- vides.. Front Row: Treasurer Brenda Groom.

At mid-season, the girls were doing well in the relay events. Coach Tim Gaffney said that if the girls could hold on to the baton, they would go to state in at least 2 relays. This statement was made in mid-sea- son and Kari Lupfer, Traci Rodrick, Shelli Eaken, and Genie Adams were almost certain of a position in the state 800 meter relay. Later, they were granted that position. Also, as of April '84, Kari Lupfer was ranked num- ber one in the state in the high jump event. The boys weren’t doing as well as the girls. Coach Gaffney stated Steve Marske might go to state in the long jump and Loren Rodrick in the high jump. In May, Kari Lupfer became the State Class B high jump champion, with a jump of 5'2 at the State meet! 66 =s?fflgapf-i� ai!fcn- w Jf! A Jzm. „ j| Loren and Traci Rodrick await their events.

Could stop the mighty Seniors from attending their Senior Sneak at Fish- hook Park near Pasco on May 25. Twenty four brave seniors mounted the big yellow bus and headed off for a day of wind, sun and fun. Throwing frisbees, cooking hamburgers and hotdogs, and playing charades were just of few of the activities that occupied their time that day. It was a great way to end the year and build a few last chance memories of high school life. Anyone for charades? Left: Gabby shows Nolan how to cook the beef.

Featured speakers were Salutatorian Vernon Palmer, class president Shelli Groom, Karen Kessel, Julie Martin, and Vale- dictorian Dan Nelson. The Best is Yet to Come was the class motto and the focus of many of the addresses heard. For some the reality of graduation went down to the wire ... so many grades to make, activities to wrap up. Baccalaureate to attend. Senior Lane to paint, and so much more. But after all the speeches were given, scholar- ships were awarded, and reception hugs exchanged, each member of the Class of '84 looked ahead because they knew the Best Is Yet To Come. John Laib leads the way for Julie Martin and Jess Durfee. Rori receives her diploma. Karen's speech gets attention. LOOKS AHEAD Dan Nelson speaks of futures.

EDITOR’S MESSAGE To our readers, As Co-Editor turned Editor, I would like to give my special thanks to the original editor, Tiffany Paepke. Tiffany spent many hours working on the annual before she moved to Rigby in December. I would also like to thank all those members of the staff. Special thanks is extended to Jack and Maurine Wil- liams for the donated photos and the help with photography. Some school people were also important in the completion of this book. Thanks to Mr. Lupfer for his help, thanks to Mr. Harris for allowing us time for our photos to be taken, and a great big thanks to Gary Hart from the Herff-Jones company for coming to Dayton when we needed help and for answering end- less questions. I would especially like to thank Mrs. Bunn, our annual advisor. With her help I believe we accomplished what we set out to do, make a book that you will enjoy today and years from now as well. Our theme, Shadows of Time, we hope will reflect this message.
