A CITY OF GOOD SCHOOLS AND GOOD CITIZENS Students of today will be the citizens of tomorrow. With this thought in mind, our community is constantly striving for better schools. Below is an artist's sketch, drawn by Ioan Griffes, art editor, of our public-spirited citizens of today who direct education in our town for the citizens of tomorrow. Mechanical drawing, both machine and ar- chitectural designy woodshop: and welding: all these as well as printing, contribute to our industrial arts program. This community needs such courses. Members of our Board of Educa- tion as well as the teachers who are hired by Superintendent W. R. Book- er are well aware of their full re- sponsibility. :Each does his best at all times to promote a spirit of healthy competition, fairness, and sympathetic helpfulness and en- couragement. Good character and a feeling of be1onging is believed to be as important as the technical- ities of the text-book. A democratic spirit of learning prevails. The Oaks is one example of co-operative ef- fort. Liberty, the students learn, means privileges as well as sacri- fices. . lr Z! X g 1 E' 'Ne . TI L-Q7 ga 440111 Page Fourteen

Beginning with a grad- uating class of only 16 students in 1922, there is now a grand total of more than 4,000 graduates of this high school. During SUPEBINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS MR. W. R. BOOKER Mr. Booker, of Hoosier origin, was graduated from the University of In- diana and taught English at Kalamazoo college be- fore coming to Muskegon Heights as Superintend- ent. During the last two de- cades, he has proved him- self to be an extremely capable and progressive administrator. Besides be- ing superintendent, he has participated in a lead- ership capacity in many city projects. We Seniors extend our thanks and best Wishes for his future administration in this community. In this city there are the following public schools: High School, Central Iunior High, Central Grade School, South Park, Lindbergh, Edgewood, Glendale, and Roosevelt. Another school would be a good thing because of the already crowded conditions in classrooms.
