X) -c ' I WK ? Faculty In later years, we will realize that innumerable factors affected our young lives. In formative years, we are cast into the mold of the student by the faculty. They work incessantly to develop and co-ordinate us as well-rounded young men and women. Fulfilling the main purpose, they teach and perform the administrative roles necessary for the proper functioning of the school. As individuals, each one does his part to make Three Rivers what it is. Teaching and guiding, the faculty helps the body of Three Rivers reach its goals.

Administration Seeks Solution for The Board of Education sets the policies and makes the decisions for the Three Rivers school system. This great responsibihty is carried out by the seven members under the leadership of Mr. Coghlin. Among the responsibilities of the Board are the estimation of the finances for the school year, evaluation of the curriculum to see that it offers the most possibilities for the student, and evaluation of the facilities to see that they are being used to the fullest extent. The Board of Educati on strives to keep in communication with the community it represents, as well as to provide the best education possible for Three Rivers students to meet the challenge of their future. The Three Rivers school system and the outlying rural districts — Park Community, Johnnycake-Hopkins, and Lake Section — merged this year to form a total education program. This provides a uniform program for all students in the area from kindergarten through the twelfth grade and on to the community college. This merger presents many problems such as textbooks and calendar differences, but the merits of the program far outweigh the problems created. A new school is being hopefully planned for within the next few years due to the rapid growth in school enrollment. Other plans include a possible seven-period day — again due to increased enrollment — and voca- tional courses such as practical nursing, electronics, and small appliance repair. Growth is indeed a major problem in the Three Rivers school system and a problem which cannot be ignored. Administrators and students alike realize that a new high school is the answer and are hopefully planning to see their dreams come true within the next few years. Board of Education: Fitzmaurice Coghlin, Jr., president; Mary K. Flucke, trustee; Dean A. Heywood, trustee; Donald Prigmore, trustee; Marilyn Miholer, secretary; Edward Beatty, vice-president; John Walls, Jr., treasurer.
