DEDIEATIUN We of the 1947 Graduating Class dedicate this volume of The Oaks to Mr. Roy A. Peterman, head of the commercial department for the last 26 years and one of the most loyal and hard-working sub- scription advisors The Oaks staff could ever hope to have. Mr. Peterman came to our school when the doors opened for the first time in the fall of 1921. He has been associated with the annual ever since. He was instrumental in publishing the first Oaks, in Iune, 1922. He has always had his heart in our Oaks which, he says, is the only written evidence of the best years of our lives. Born in Greenville, May 14, 1891, he was gradu- ated from Crystal High school in 1909, attended Alma college, and received a diploma from Ferris institute in 1912. He holds both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree. His teaching ex- perience includes one year of college teaching in Oklahoma State, and 33 years of high school teach- ing, 26 years of which have been spent here at Mus- kegon Heights High school. Added to his fine contribution in teaching commer- cial subjects, Mr. Peterman has been one of our most active faculty members. In past years his Commer- cial club was the school's largest and most active club. During the War Years he was faculty chairman of the War Bond drive. He has sold football tickets for 25 years, never having seen a Tiger game on Phillips field until the fall of 1946 when he sat in the stands for the first time. That is why we dedicate this annual to Mr. Peter- man and say, Good-by, Mr. Peterman, and thanks for all you have done. Best of luck!
