A Student Speaks By Connie Leinweber, Class of 1958 About twelve years ago Dayton borough school directors signed an agree- ment with the Wayne Township directors to establish a joint school district. Other townships, Boggs, Redbank, Pine, West Mahoning, and Smicksburg gorough joined the system and the official name became Dayton joint School istrictf, It was in 1946 that the original jointure took place, this Was, also, the year that Clarence W. Marshall became Supervising Principal. Mr. Marshall, who had graduated from the Dayton schools, was very in- terested in his new work and accomplished many things we students take for granted. His greatest pride was in our new high school building to which he devoted much of his time and thought. He started the first edition of Maple Memoriesn, our yearbook. It had a leather-like paper back and loose-leaf pages. The second edition of the year- book was, also, loose leaf pages but had a padded cover. Since then the yearbook has been a bound edition of which we are extremely proud. Another special interest of Mr. Marshallis was the May Court. The first court was in 1948. Under the supervision of Mr. Marshall, many other improvements were made-all of which had the goal of better education for all of our students. In order to improve educational opportunities several one room schools have been closed. A music supervisor for the elementary grades visits each room developing music appreciation. Also, we have speech correction classes in both elementary and high school, and in the junior High a class in Special Education where poor study habits are corrected. In the high school a course in Driver- Training gives all of us a chance to learn good road manners. Mr. Marshall truly did a great many things for our school system that we are only now beginning 'to realize. He was a very modest man and did not talk about his many accomplishments, our enjoyment of all his work is his reward. We the class of 1958 wish to pay him tribute. So --------- Today we humbly take our stand To honor Mr. Marshall for all he,d planned Itis true his parting,s felt by all His guidance still is in each hall. As days go by and mount to years Weill face life's joys and bitter tears, We'll understand and realize That education is the prize- The goal that he has helped to mold A treasure worth far more than gold. For gold and gems and fine array Cannot compare in any way To education-realm of light- That guides us on to do what's right, ,Twill lead us to a better life Remove our anguish, fear and strife. So let us ask in humble prayer For council, guidance, and a share Of earnestness and true endeavor To help our school move forward ever, And as it grows-and sure it must We,ll all have honored him in trust- Our School 7
