This was proved Tuesday night at Sun Valley Adult Evening High School, holding classes at the Sun Valley Junior High. Hundreds of older folk attending the Evening High Schools in the Valley put on a style show and displayed thousands of their self-made articles...Works ranging from hook rugs, lamps, hats, dresses, copper pictures to wood-working and upholstery decorated the walls and shelves of the high school during the jam-packed show that lasted more than three hours." Participating in the evening school show are Mr. and Mrs. Darwin Hyatt .
