Mr. Alvin Zachrich was the Superinten- dent of Schools for his fifth year with the Bay City School District. The major problem that faced the seven member board was the continuous- ly rising cost of educating the 17,250 students in the district. Much of the Board's planning and effort focused on the millage renewal in a Spring election. Another major problem of the board was the renovation program at Central and Handy High Schools.

Album People play an important part in our life every day of every year. When we are faced with a seemingly unsolveable problem, we- rely on our parents, teachers and counselors to give us advice. We share both laughter and tears with our fellow classmates. We learn to get along with people, no matter what obstacles stand in the way. So many of the people we will meet will become lasting friends, others will only become merely acquaintances. Yet each relation- ship with people will give us the lasting knowledge and experience that we need to cope with the people of the world. 3 'il' I W'
