As district school budgets are
being approved by budget com-
mittees throughout the state
Dayton is no exception. It is
hoped that on Monday evening at
8 p.m. in the Elementary School
Library, the final adjustments
can be made on the $953,486.00
proposed budget. The fourteen
member budget committee has
expended many hours of deliber-
ations, some making several trips,
over the past months to review
other school programs. It is not
an easy task to determine the ex-
act needs and/or wants of the
community for their educational
institutions. Patrons of the dis-
trict are invited and encouraged
to attend all budget and board
meetings.
The Dayton Wrestling team has
successfully completed competi-
tion both in district and state
:competitions. Congratulations to
the team and coaching staff for
another year of activities. Band,
Speech, Chorus et al along with
several individual competitors,
have and still . are performing
well. This week the basketball
team shall participate in district
competition, no unusual feat for
Dayton. We wish them continued
success.
While our responsibilities at
the school continue to be great---
the pleasures of watching your
children grow and mature into
useful and productive members of
our society tends to take the
drudgery and disappointments out
of school work. While perhaps
few of our students really fully
achieve all our expectations, a
great number do and even exceed
that which we even dream for
them. These pleasant surprises
sincerely keeps us as educators
close to every student because at
no time can we truly judge the
future achievements and success-
es of any one student. It is diffi-
cult to know which suggestion,
which act or which care really as-
sisted a student, or for that mat-
ter which neglect of a care or
suggestion might have assisted a
student. Each act, each statement
must be carefully placed, with
force and caution, with speed and
patience, with kindness but with
depth, with love and determina-
tion, each student different from
the other and each one with his
or her own dreams and aspira-
tions.
We must believe in children,
and cherish their ideals. We know
we believe in children when we
have a more difficult time finding
their negative sides than we do
their positive.
From this office as we stop to
view world conditions, as we look
beyond our state, our nation when
some of the bombing has stopped,
some of the killing, some of the
misery and suffering has ended,
Funeral Services Held
we find that we must struggle on
for a living. Sometimes we ~find
ourselves at war with ourselves
to continue to survive in this
world of turmoil. Some peace of
mind comes when we look out
over the community in which we
live, our family, our homes, our
churches, our schools, all of these
mal~e peace for now until we
reach our eternal reward, our
eternal peace.
Sincerely yours,
Francis It. Dummer,
Superintendent
Dayton Public Schools
