flommiSTRHTion The Board of Education has devoted much time to current school affairs as well as the new school building under construction. Meetings of this group are held regularly on the first Thursday of each month with special meetings called when the need arises. All of these men are parents of children in school; this adds to their enthusiasm. Superintendent Frank E. Dodge has held this posi- tion in Bad Axe for two years. Prior to this, he was superintendent at Decatur, Michigan, for 16 years. The seniors will remember his fine help in producing both of their plays. His speaking ability has proven an asset to both the school and the community. May he remain in Bad Axe for many more successful years. Lamb i uther As much a part of Bad Axe High School as the structure itself is Principal Luther M. Lamb, who is completing his twentieth year in the school system, fifteen of which he has been in the role of principal. No one ever receives a B. A. H. S. diploma without having had a few consultations with Mr. Lamb, either seeking excuses for ab- sence or tardiness, checking credits, get- ting measured for cap and gown, or oc- casionally, in a more unpleasant situation. Bad Axe High wouldn't be the same with- out Mr. Lamb.
