LEST WE FCDRGET - A GREAT LADY l E Appreciation is one of those finer feelings that comes only with maturity. As freshmen and sopho- mores, we failed to realize the invaluable assistance which we received from one of our faculty members. Now, as seniors, we know that we can never repay the full measure of gratitude which this woman deserves. No other single person has contributed so much to our success and unity as a class. We will always remember how she made the characters from the world of English literature come alive to our understanding and how she iniected new vitality into literary history and English grammar. As a class advisor, an educator, the director of our senior play, and as a friend, she has been a valued counselor. Her carefully planned course of study makes us wonder if she first coined the phrase, Be Prepared. Yes, Mrs. Margaret P. Nelson, we are prepared, and for this we ap- preciate you. gggg 4 1 iq.-AK . , 6

FOR HE S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW . . We, the class of 1958, take great pleasure and pride in dedicating our yearbook to a man well-known to all Mount Pleasant students, but to whom we, as seniors, feel a special closeness. We remember the talk which he gave at our first class meeting when we were freshmen, the encouragement that he has supplied during the last four years, and the free time that he has given us to help make our dances and class proiects successful, To him has fallen what is undoubtedly the touchiest iob which an administrator performs: the task of discipline. lt is a difficult duty to fill out detention slips and suspension notes and still maintain the love and respect of the students. This individual has met the challenge with an air of diplomacy which would do iustice to an ambassador of the United States. We can still see him on the roof of the new gym filming all the excitement of our home football games, occasionally swinging the camera to the right or left to record visual proof of one of our more economically minded classmates scurrying over the fence. Who can forget his rolled up sleeves or the western music emanating from his office at such early hours! ln us he has inspired loyalty, honor, and truth. His ideals have been transformed into accomplishments, his beliefs into positive action. He is admired by parents, students and faculty members alike. His natural friendliness, iovial nature and genuine interest in the welfare of every individual has greatly helped to span the gap between the administration and the student body. To the Assistant Principal, Mr. Charles H. Bomboy, we proud- ly dedicate the eighth volume of the Green Leaf. Dedicafivu
