DAYTON, OREGON 97114
Dayton School Scene
Dear Readers:
T'is the season to again share
with you the "Seasons Greetings".
It is comforting to set aside the
routine of normal school business
and extend to you goodwill and
appreciation of our associations
during the past year. We must stop
and reflect into the real meaning of
Christmas for if we don't, we are
caught up in the celebration of just
another day off from work.
While the grocery bill for the
year may seem to become more
extravagant, the utility bills come
too often and we are all caught up
inflationary costs of living, I
art in the letter I received
this day to the local firemen from
one of our 4th grade students. In
his letter thanking them for their
sacrifice in supplying him with a
candy cane at the Christmas pro-
gram, he closes by also thanking
the firemen for coming up to the
top of Red Hill last week to fight
the fire that burnt his home to the
ground. Thanks Paul. Somehow,
somewhere, people are better peo-
ple because of your note. So much
for a little or so little for so much.
Paul, somewhere, someplace you
have a parent, a minister, a teacher
or a combination of all three that
taught you to be proud, grateful,
and self-reliant. They taught you to
do things for yourself and to take
pride in the work you are doing, so
that you can understand the rela-
tive value of all things.
The present day society auto-
matically succeeded to the highest
standard of living the world has
ever known. We live in the midst of
the world's finest and most fruitful
economic system and its most
democratic society. All this was
built for us through toil and sacri-
fice of previous generations. We
must be grateful that we can live in
it and work so that Paul's genera-
tion can keep it so.
So long as we have country roads
d bridges, lanes and city streets
''t lead to homes where love and
respect can be found.., so long as
we have schools where teachers
can guide our most priceless asset
•.. Paul and his colleagues.., and
bring to them the light of inspira-
tion and love for one another...
our nation will remain forever free.
Readers, Christmas is a joyous
fv season. A time to set aside the
school budget preparation, payroll,
attendance, curriculum, meetings,
transportation, etc. and reflect into
the type of work we actually do. It
is a time to judge if we are really
effective and if our work is re-
warding. It is a time for cheerful
greetings and giving. A time for
VOLUME 64 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, !978 NUMBER 52
reiedication to the imlant work
we'are doing at the sehoo!s. A time
to again thank you as district
patrons for your cooperation, un-
derstan4Lag and goodwill. A time
to wish you happiness and good
health during the New Year.
Gratefully yours,
Francis l,i. Dummvr,
Superintendent
