FOREWORD This year we of Muskegon Heights High School are very fortunate to have two new additions to our school, a new gymnasium and a new cafeteria, already completed. At the time this yearbook went to press, plans were being considered for a North Wing, which is expected to consist mainly of the Music and Manual Departments, and more classrooms. Since the planning and constructing of these wings were in progress during our senior year, we graduates thought it very appropriate to use the theme, Building for the Future for this yearbook. We all realize, of course, the importance these new additions will play in years to come, and we consider it fortunate that they are be- ing constructed. We seniors only regret that we won't be able to use these facilities as much as the incoming students. Nevertheless, we can truly say we received the utmost of satisfaction from our school years in the old building. We feel deeply honored, however, that the construction took place during the year when we were seniors. We were able to choose building, therefore, as our theme. ln conclusion, we Graduates of 1955 would like to say that we hope all the future students of Heights High enjoy these facilities as much as we know we would have enjoyed them. May they enjoy their years at Heights High as much as wel

BU Y, BU Y DAY THE EWS STAFF This is only one of the typical scenes in the journalism room this year. Everyone always had work to complete for the various newspapers around town. The same staff, which was elected last September, was used throughout the entire year. Each member of the staff was assigned to a certain activity. During the year, they reported all of the news. This staff provided news for The Muskegon Chronicle, Muskegon Heights Rec- ord, and our school paper, The Acorn. The larg- est project of the year was this annual. The young journalists all contributed their efforts to meeting the deadlines. We wish to thank the entire school for co- operating. We, the members of this staff, sincerely hope that you enjoy the contents of the 1955 Oaks as much as we enjoyed publishing it.

Photograph Contributed by Dorman Post Afternoon Along the Dunes Typical of the many tamiliar scenes along the beaches which fringe the lakes ol Western Michigan is the splendid photograph ot the dunes shown here. Graceful trees, tufts of tall grass, both emerging from the mounds of sugary sand, blend with sky and clouds into a pleasing whole. A hint of the ever-present pre- vailing westerlies bends the grass ever so gently but constantly piles the pulls ol tleecy clouds into great cumulus mountains in the distance. Something soft, yet something rugged, shows through every detail of the scene . . . and as the sun sinks below the horizon and disappears into the lake like a great ball ot molten gold, a solitary gull wings its way to rest and voices ot swimmers and picnickers break the serenity ot the scene.
