PRINCIPAL C. F. BOLT Mr. Bolt is the first principal this school ever had. At one time he was principal in Bis- marck, N. D. He holds an M.A. degree and was graduated by the Universities ot Michigan and Wisconsin. More important to us seniors, perhaps, is the fact that he has been our friend, a friend loyal to our school. Mrs. Anne Harvath, our of- fice ace , was assisted last semester by Shirley Smith, for- mer Heights High student. Mrs. Harvath also is ct local gradu- ate. They kept Mr. Bolt's office in tip-top shape. Smith, Mrs. Harvath . el if? ' ii' 124035 m' ,,,,..-'mb -as , firm, 3' 5 il Ill -.' lgfx. 'JI .

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.

DEPAjRTMENT OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted: nor to find talk and discourse: but to weigh and consider. For reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man Write little, he had need have a great memory: if he confer little, he had need have a present wit: and if he read little, he need have much cunning to seem to know that which he doth not. - Sir Francis Bacon, Of Studies For three of the four years in high school, a student is required to take English: however, it may be true that the full value of English is not ap- preciated until the student goes out into the world to use it. English cours- es include spelling, punctuation, gram- mar, rhetoric, literature, and journal- ism. Every phase of language, Written and spoken, is carefully studied.
