Bay City School To Be Named For McAllister

Bay City--The new $1.5 million junior high school here will be named for the late H. J. McAllister, former school superintendent, it was announced Saturday at a reunion of the 1942 Bay City High School graduating class.

The school is to be completed by the 1968-69 school year.

The 1942 graduating class, hosted by the 1941 class, celebrated their 25th year reunion Saturday at a banquet at the Bay City Country Club. Attorney Moise Simon, chairman of arrangements for the celebration, read the announcement in a letter from Supt. Rodney D. Cathey.

McAllister was superintendent of the Bay City Independent School District from 1960 until his death in June, 1963. He also served as a teacher and, in 1942, was principal of the high school.
