Cogswell fsecretaryj, Mr Al Nickels, Mr. Don Gillard, Mr. Isador Isackson, Mr. Vic Werth. MISSING are Mr. Maynard Cohen and Mr. William Bigham This yea r the Alpena Public Schools added a Buildings and Grounds administra- tor, Mr. Mel Pettit, and an assistant super- intendent, Mr. Larry McConnell. A garage was set up for busses and students moved into the new Ox-Bow Elementary School. The big change in administration and the Alpena Public Schools, howe ve r , was the move to the Third Avenue Alpena High School. This prompted a change in adminis- tration to the h ou s e ni a s te r system. The three housemasters are installed one each in the houses provided for each of the three grades. These men are responsible for ad- ministration of school policy and work with the top high school administrators in forma- tion of procedures. There was a great deal of controversy over whe the r the move to the new school should have been undertaken before all the buildings were completed. With careful ar- rangements by the administration, this move was accomplished with success. Better facilities will now be enjoye d by students from the high school level down through the elementary level.
