Morton, Campbell, Sutton, Carl tPresidentJ, Strand, Faust, Pearman, Booker CSuperintendent of Schoolsl. 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.

We of the Class of 1955 of Muskegon Heights High School salute you, Superintendent W. R. Booker! As we stand ready to go out from these halls to take our places in the world, we pause a moment to reflect upon a few things which often escaped our notice as we went along our busy way from class to class, year after year. Now that we are nearly finished with our twelve years of schooling, we are impressed, as we look back, with the fact that our education was a much bigger enterprise than we thought, We are able to see that much more clearly now than when we were in the midst of it. We realize now, if we did not always realize it before, that behind those twelve years were hours of planning, worry, and work on the part of many people. We know that someone in a position of leadership was responsible for the operation of all the details. To you, Mr. Booker, should go much of the credit for our many ad- vantages, for our various opportunities. You have been our Superintendent of Schools here since W. R. BOOKER UPERI TENDE T 1928, a fine record in itself. During those years Muskegon Heights schools have improved and grown, not only physically but in an educational way. If we were to take the time, we might point out to incoming sophomores, and to others, the many ways in which Muskegon Heights schools have proved themselves superior. Heights grad- uates hold positions of responsibility and lead- ership everywhere we go. All of the various de- partments of activity at Heights High have proved themselves outstanding for many years. Above all, Heights High is known as a friendly school, a high school where democracy really works, a school where students and faculty and admin- istrators are friends. To the Gentleman From lndiana , who re- ceived his master's degree from the University of Indiana, taught at Kalamazoo College, was Superintendent of Schools in Greenville before coming here, we say, Thanks again. We shall always be proud of attending Muskegon Heights Schools while you were Superintendent.
