The Tour seems to be a race for successive wins, Bob Tetzlaff of Campbell w on the first two years and Parsons won the last three years. But few thought Parsons could take it four times in a row. There were about 60 other cyclists in the race trying to make sure that he did not win again this year, but someone forgot to tell Parsons about it. Parsons stayed in with the pack of. front runners for most. of the 45 mile senior event and the lead changed hands several times, He was pressed hard by runner-up Dave Brink of Berkeley and Brink took over the lead several times.

In addition to this, the board learned that even if it could use the junior high which it now appears it cannot, state law does not make any provision for budgeting for such a program, State Department officials told Grass Valley that they could do what they wanted, but if they went ahead with the proposed one year junior high program, the State Department would withold apportionments to the district.
