I. J X r 72,1 -3' 1950 is a big and momentus year for Mount Pleasant School. For the first time our school is now a full-fledged high school. We, the Class of 1950, have been the pioneers-for four years we have been the senior cl'ass and have pushed forward finding new responsibilities and op- portunities awaiting us. We have watched and seen the progress of our school as it grew each year and the many changes which transpired toward making Mount Pleasant a high school. Our group is the first graduating class-the first produc- tion of the high school. In a way our class is the baby of Mount Pleasant High School. Born in September of 1946 in an atmosphere of uncertainty, each year we grew in knowledge, experience, and friendship. We gained in strength and maturity as we took our first steps and better prepared ourselves for the future. We have chosen this to be the theme of our yearbook. The baby so often pictured throughout these pages repre- sents the Class of 1950. He is our guide as we read this annual and reminds us of the importance of the year. We, the staff, hope that this first issue of the GREEN LEAF will serve as a chronicle of school life and bring to the minds of its readers the fond memories of the fun, friends and activities we shared during our school days.
