Dedicated to Mr. James B. Norris, B.S., M.A. We, the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred Sixty-One, are proud to dedicate this fortieth volume of The Oaks, to you, our popular teacher, understanding counselor, and fine class advisor, Mr. James B. Norris. Muskegon, Michigan was your birthplace in 1928, you remained in Muskegon while attending Muskegon Heights High School. After graduating, you spent one year at Muskegon Community College, and three years at Central Michigan College, v here you received your Bachelor of Science degree in 1951. Still going higher in educa- tion, you received your Master ' s degree in Secondary Administration at the University of Michigan in 1955. On December 20, 1952, you married the former Miss Lois Kienke, also a Heights graduate. In later years you were blessed with three wonderful children, Lisa, six years. Bill, three years, and Dave, one year. During your ten years of teaching in the Muskegon Heights schools, you taught many grades and courses, including your most recent assignment, American History and Economics. Besides teaching, you were appointed to be one of our fine coun- selors, and for three years, one of our class advisors. At one time, we understand, you were President of Muskegon Heights District of M.E.A. Now, as you are working on a six-year Specialist in Education Degree at the University of Michigan, we wish you the best of luck in whatever you do, and a fond good-bye from the Class of 1961.
