a little blurry picture of the scenery on the way back to Big Arm including this somewhat round barn and the school house in the valley. There is a better picture of it in the video I made: [ youtube video ]
The school itself was constructed by Richard Louis Uhde, and a basement was dug out by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s.
In the 1950s, students carried water from a faucet to the school, which had no running water, and went to the bathroom in a pair of outdoor privies west of the building.
By the late 1960s, there were not enough students for Dayton and Rollins to operate separate schools, so grades one through four attended classes in Rollins while students in fifth through eighth grades went to school in Dayton.
A small white schoolhouse has stood overlooking Flathead Lake above the east shore of Canal Bay in Rollins since 1911 — shortly after Rollins got its name.
