One of the most progressive moves made in Muskegon Heights in years was the con- struction of the filtration plant at Lake Michigan in the later l930's. A low-lift and high-lift pump system brings water to our city by gravity from a hill- top. Muskegon Heights rates high among the leading industrial areas of Michigan. Our factories are among the best equipped and most productive in the nation. We also have a fine school system. Our stu- dents stand high in colleges and universities, in business, and in in- dustry when they leave. A new post office, filtration plant, and improved law enforcement system are among our recent accomplishments. Yet, despite all the things we have, there are things we lack: a civic auditorium, a beautiful city park, a hotel, a new city hall, sta- tues, a museum, a Little Theater, and many other cultural advantag- es many cities now have. Some day, who knows, these dreams may be- come realities. It is up to us.

Our music department has been improving fast in recent years under guidance ot Mr. Liddicoat and Mr. Buck. All groups rated high in contests. Speech and dramatics, as well as radio, provide students with ample op- portunity for seli-expres- sion. Directors are Miss Boyse, Mr. Gillaspy, and Miss Wetteroth. Reading for profit and for recreation opens doors to new lands, new exper- iences, and new oppor- tunities. Miss Kidwell is our friendly librarian.
