Foreword In every school, there is one quality that is a necessity for both the faculty and the student body to possess. This element is school spirit . We of the Class of 1961, feeling that our school is truly an excellent example of this quality have chosen School Spirit as the theme of our yearbook. In our three years at Heights High, v e have been able to observe this important element at v ork ... in athletics (v hether we win or whether we lose), in the classrooms, among our superior graduates, and in our loyal spirited teachers. Lastly, we have even seen evidence of it in our own individual willingness to put forth the extra efFort necessary for the success of all school undertakings. To some, it may seem that spirit is a small, perhaps too indefinable or intangible theme upon which to base our yearbook. Some probably think it only operates in the field of sports. Webster defines this valuable quality as enthusiastic loyalty . We like to think of it also as a kind of personal pride which each of us feel toward everything we do . . . everything we do now . . . and everything we hope to do in later life. In these days of space exploration, of discussion and debate on subjects of tremendous consequence, of pressures and obligations almost too heavy to bear, it is this rather indefinable qualify . . . school spirit . . . which will carry us through to our goal. In the years ahead, no matter how tough the going, let us keep firmly in mind the quality which many times has carried us to the top . . . that unconquerable Tiger Spirit. It can carry us to the top again! C.K.C.
