Tribute to A Teacher and Friend, Mrs. Florence Murray We, the Seniors of Nineteen Hundred Fifty-five, to show our deep appreciation for your work done here at Heights High, fondly dedicate this volume of the OAKS to you, Mrs. Florence Murray, our kindhearted and understanding friend, fine coun- selor, and outstandingly popular teacher. You received your B.S. degree from Northern Michigan College in Marquette. You began your teaching career as a teacher of girls' physical ed- ucation, at the age of nineteen, in Petoskey. Heights was very proud to receive you in 1929 as a teacher of physical education. Later you became a teacher of English, a subject which you have always loved. Recently, you became our counselor here. Already you have aided many young persons, by your guidance and every-day helpfulness, toward the goal of life which they seemed best qualified to attain. We are all sincerely grateful for your interest and loyalty to us and our school. We Wish you the best of luck in all things for the future.

LAYS THE PLANS We, the members ot the Graduating Class ot l955, take this opportunity ottered us by the edi- tors of our yearbook to express publicly our deepest appreciation to the men on our Board ot Education and others who are responsible tor the expansion and progress ot the Muskegon Heights High School and educational system. To the Board members whose job it is to worry and shoulder the burden ot plans and details, we say a gracious thanks To the tax-payers ot Muskegon Heights and surrounding areas who make expansion possible in a material way, we also are very grateful. We say this sincerely, even though it is true that most ot us will be leaving in Iune and may not ever enjoy some ot the advantages which a new gymnasium and a new North Wing will eventually provide. We are proud ot Heights High and proud of ourselves, and we are proud ot our Board of Education which has done every- thing possible to make our high school years profitable and pleasurable. We regret that we were not able to become better acquainted personally with our Board members. We feel as though we know them, how- ever, as well as other school officials. They will remain in our memory as they are today-a fine group ot civic-minded, progressive business and professional leaders in our community. By their own actions, they have set us a goal and an example. In addition, they have done their utmost to help us get the very best out of our educational opportunities.
