During Dr. Avard A. Rigby's affiliation with B. Y. High as Director of Lab- oratory Schools, we have seen academic achieve- ment steadily rising. This has come about through the efforts of many, but Dr. Rigby has been the most motivating factor in our elevation of standards of conduct and scholarship. We, as a studentbody, ap- preciate his efforts to- ward improvement. Dr. John K. Crnkovic. a man of dynamic and forceful personality, has been directly responsible for the advanced curriculum program in our school- Dr. Max J. Berryessa has a warm and un- derstanding personality and is liked by all students- He has coordinated and super- vised our student program.
