the junior class and their guests were entertained by their third annual orchestral dance. Mount Pleasant's first yearbook was in the minds of the staff members about this time. Announce- ments were made in the spring concerning dates and plans for the printing of the Green Leaf. With things all set for the next term the junior class left behind them one' of the best school years. OUR LAST YEAR The senior year at Mount Pleasant was certainly one of the busiest years experienced. Our class pres- ident was joe Wortz, vice-president, janet Smith, the secretary, Ruth Wheatley, and the treasurer, joan Worrad. Committees were chosen and practices began in November for the Senior Play, The Tavern , which was presented on December 9 and 10, in the school auditorium. The Senior Ball was an affair to be remembered. It was held in the Du Barry Room of the Hotel du Pont on February 3. This dance marked the first formal and the biggest dance of our Mount Pleasant career. During the winter the new recreation room was secured by the twelfth grade for their use. Many enjoyable senior activities were held there. Before we knew it, graduation had rolled around and our thoughts turned to name cards, announce- ments, and caps and gowns. All 62 seniors enjoyed the activities of the last few months together. Senior Odd Day was held in April. Many memorable things can be recalled from the senior trip-and on june 10, the Farewell to Seniors Dance was held for our class. The Baccalaureate Services, Class Night, and Com- mencement put a linal ending to our high school education. Many students in our class will continue their education, while the rest will seek other op- portunities, but whatever tasks face us, we never will forget the thrill of being the first graduating class of Mount Pleasant High School. It has been a grand period of our lives and one that will always be re- membered as we leave our school to take other re- sponsibilities in this great world. --PAULINE PEPPER ,. ff
