gpg-ax.. .Q 545' active has led the way to our high school choir of 80 voices. Such organizations as Senate had about 19 members as com- pared with close to 50 today. Then, but no longer active, were junior Chamber of Commerce and the House of Representa- tives, membership of which was open only to boys. Then 9th graders were a part of Senior High, now they are a part of junior High. Muskegon has not only expanded its extra-curricular activ- ities, but has also expanded its courses of study. Our curri- culum is much broader than 50 years ago. We have general, college preparatory, commercial, and manual courses today. Learning to read and write are no longer the only essentials. The theme now is to learn to live with one another. Each course is designed to help the student become a useful citizen. The whole aspect of Senior High is more informal. No longer do you see boys in stiff collars and ties or suits during the school day as in the good old days. The girls dress has changed considerably from the long dresses of 50 years ago to Hackley Manual in 1904 I stylish but simple clothes, making for ease of movement. Neith- er do students march in single file from class to class. Classes with a president, secretary, and treasurer are organized in 11-B now, which leads to a closer relationship of members of the class. ' From 1904 to 1954, many changes have been made in our physical plant, curriculum, and activities. MHS will carry on in the finest tradition changing to fit the times. To the students in the years to come is the challenge to carry high the torch of Muskegon Senior High School so nobly handed down by the students and faculty of these last fifty years. And so we on the Said and Done staff carry on. We present the events of the year, Said and Done's 50th year, 1954, through OUR YEAR A ACTIVITIES SPORTS GRADUATES . G.A.A.

Senior High in 1904 Campus and activities change For fifty years Said and Done has endeavored to record for the student body the events of each school year. The book has grown proportionately with the increased enrollment and activ- ities of Muskegon Senior High School through the years. In 1904 Said and Done was a small 50-page literary magazine. In 1954 Said and Done is a 176 page volume filled with pictures of our school year. In 1904 Senior High occupied the present junior High build- ing while the Hackley Manual Training School had been gain- ing country-wide reputation since 1895 for being the first and best equipped high school vocational training institution in the United States. What today is known as the Annex was formerly Wilson School. It was used for the handicapped students of senior high age. 2 If you stand at the flagpole at the center of our campus, you would be standing on jefferson street as it ran through Central Campus fifty years ago. Washington avenue bisected the Cam' pus also, but was closed off when the stadium was constructed in 1927. As the campus progressed toward its present form, so have the student activities. Since Senior High moved to its new quarters in 1918, the student body and its diversified social activities grew by leaps and bounds. Today we have 30 various clubs with a large percentage of the student body as members. Our athletic activities, such as football, have as many as 100 boys out as compared with the 25 or 30 of the 500 students of old Senior High. The band membership has increased from 20 in 1904 to close to 100 in 1954. A boy's glee club then
