MAESTRO W. R. BOOKER Superintendent of Schools We, the Senior Class of 1949, wish to acknowledge our sincere gratitude to Mr. W. R. Booker, our superintendent of schools, for his splendid effort in behalf of better education in Muskegon Heights. In particular, we wish to thank him and the entire Board of Education for their part in making our lives in high school very happy and, we hope, very profitable. Mr. Booker received his master's degree from the University of Indiana. He once taught in the English department at Kalamazoo College. He also served successfully as superintendent of schools in Greenville, Michigan, before coming to Muskegon Heights. Here he has established a reputation through- out the state as a' capable, keen-minded executive, and a genuine student of educational affairs. Thanks for everything, Mr. Booker and members of the Board. We shall try to make you proud of us in the years to come.

Concertmaster C. F. BOLT We of the Graduating Class of 1949 wish to express our gratitude to Mr. C. F. Bolt, our principal, for his understanding and considerate efforts during our entire school days in senior high. Mr. Bolt this Iune has completed his twenty-eighth year as head of this high school. He was here when it Was built in 1921. Mr. Bolt is not a native son of Muskegon Heights, however. Born in Grand Haven, he was graduated by Grand Haven High school and the University of Michigan and University of Wisconsin. He was principal of the high school in Bismarck, N. D., before coming to Muskegon Heights. Mr. Bo1t's office is not elaborate, but it has served a good purpose. Those who have sat across from him have generally left the office with a lighter heart and a brighter outlook than they had when they entered. He discusses with the students everything from credits in class to family problems . All graduates from 1922 until 1949 declare him to be a swel1 guy.
