U- u Ward V SENIORS The Years Pass A new Junior High school (Zemmer Junior High) was built in 1969 to ease the over crowding in White Junior High. With the sixties people left the farms for the factories, primarily the automobile factories of Flint and Pontiac. Lapeer was changing; become less agriculturally oriented. In 1970, the High School enrollment had mush- roomed from 110 in 1881, to just under 2,000 students, causing the High School to begin operating on double shifts. Another High School was needed but would not be built for five years. As Lapeer moved on into the seventies it gained an all volunteer ambulance service, (one of the best in the state), an overnight travel trailer.
