Principal PRINCIPAL Mr. H. A. Kruizenga We say farewell to you, Mr. Kruizenga, and express the hope in this 1961 Oaks that you will continue to lead the students of Muskegon Heights High School as Principal for many years to come. We shall endeavor to carry with us the high prin- ciples of conduct and Tiger spirit exemplified at Heights High. Assistant Principal OFFICE SECRETARIES Miss Bonnie Griffiths Mrs. Anna Harvath These two young ladies work quietly and effi- ciently all day long, keeping things humming office- wise. In fact what would we ... or for that matter the faculty ... do without them? Mr. Leonard Schregardus We might say the mathematics students lost a good math teacher, but the whole school gained a very fine assistant princi- pal when you were appointed to your new position in the fall of 1960. Good luck and best wishes in the future. Thanks for your help.

Counselors Mr. D. Firme, Mrs. F. Murray, Mr. J. Thornley, Mr. J. Norris Wise guidance is the advancement of living, but Enlightenment is the ad- vancement of Life. This concept has been the underlying philosophy of the Counseling and Guidance Department since 1953 when Mrs. Florence Murray was named our first high school counesior. This year the department was expanded by additional personnel and new facilities. Mr. Delmar Firme, full- time counselor, and Mr. James Norris and Mr. J. Kenneth Thornley, teacher- counselors, are the additional senior high counselors. Secretaries for the counseling department are Miss Bonnie Cunningham ( ' 60) and Miss Karen Buttermore ( ' 61). The department now has a more convenient and attractive room adjacent to the main office. To aid each of us students wi th our educational plans, vocational selections, social understandings, and personal commitments that we may attain self-perception, self-direction, and self-fulfillment for this enrichment, for not only our own lives, but also the better- ment of all humanity, is the main objective of our ounselors. Employment, scholarships, schedule, career . . . ? See your counselor! Secretaries Miss Buttermore Miss Cunningliam — »i
