To Mrs. Harvath We Seniors of the Class of 1949 take this oppor- tunity publicly to recognize the outstanding work of Mrs. Anna Harvath, high school office clerk and secretary. Mrs. Harvath has been with us for ten years. She is a graduate of Muskegon Heights High School and, when she was a student here in the commercial department, was one of the best in her class. In addition to taking dictation and typing business letters for our Principal, Mr. C. F. Bolt, Mrs. Harvath keeps the office books and records straight and does a thousand and one little things all day long for both the students and the faculty. Best of all is the fact that she does everything efficiently, tactfully, courteously, quietly . . . in fact, too often we do not fully appreciate the fact that she is in the office, so smoothly does it generally operate. To top it all, Mrs. Harvath is undoubtedly one of the best liked, most popular persons in our school. She has found the secret to true friendship in sin- cerity of purpose and everyday helpfulness. We have chosen this way of telling Mrs. Harvath how we feel about her, and her chosen occupation. THE CUXSS OF '49

Music Speaks A Universal Language We the Graduates of 1949 chose music as the theme for this volume of our senior yearbook be- cause music speaks a universal language. Music is understood by all peoples of all nations. It is therefore a great unifying influence. In all lands. people have learned to love and appreciate music, in one form or another. It inspires, it soothes, it charms, it has the power to quiet the soul or to quicken the pulse. lt is cultural. It lifts the spirit and the character out of the drab and the everyday, into higher levels. During the past year or more, music has come to mean more in our school than it probably meant in the past. More emphasis and time and money are now being spent on music education in Muskegon Heights. It has assumed a more important place in the life of our high school. It is no longer looked upon as something for a few - for artists perhaps - but rather it is recognized as something of great value for us all. The cover design on this volume, which was drawn by Garnet Keefer, Art Editor, symbolizes grad- uating seniors who stand upon Muskegon Heights and look out upon the future. They look forward, with a song in their hearts, toward the success and achievement they hope to attain. With this in mind, the editors of the 1949 Oaks arranged for your plea- sure and information a Record Album , containing records of the years 1948-49 at Muskegon Heights High School. We hope you like it. THE EDITORS Shirley Burdick Don Mason Garnet Keefer, Art Joan Griffes, Art y STKFF PHOTOGRAPHER W James Cobb Z. 1 .-..n.....s......
