DANCING IS POPULAR loin the happy throngl Here in this picture we see the customary crowd of dancers, stepping gaily to the tune of a fine band.

Foreword Playing an important role in the lives of all students of Heights High are the many local traditions . . . Homecoming, Burn's Day, Heights Night, the Annual lunior and Senior Plays, the Concerts, the Annual Style Show and Tea, the Snake-dance after the Big Game of the Year, the Iunior Arbor Girls, the Class Breakfast, the Honors Assembly. Every incoming sophomore looks forward to these things with anticipation, every out- going senior remembers them always. Therefore it has seemed wise for us Who are charged with the publi- cation of this yearbook to attempt to catch at least a glimpse of these traditions in Word and picture. We sincerely hope all who read this vol- ume of The Oaks for '53 will take as much delight in sharing these mem- ories as We have in preparing them. So, Gentle Readers, as you fondly turn these pages, remember Heights High and its traditions! SENIORS OF 53 PLAN OAKS CAMPAIGN . .
