The Mount Pleasant High School Parent Teachers Asso- ciation has a real first this year, that of having the presi- dents and vice presidents of the Senior and Junior High School Student Councils at- tend the executive meetings. This has led to better partici- pation and understanding of the activities of the P.T.A. The P.T.A. endeavors to de- velop between parents, teach- ers, and the general public a united effort which will pro- vide for every child the high- est advantages in physical, mental, social and spiritual education. In October the P.T.A. spon- sored a very successful dance.

A school day begins with a bus ride. To every senior high school stu- dent at Mount Pleasant, a variety of courses is offered. The initial step for each person is to decide which curriculum he is going to follow. For the prospective college student, the academic course is provided. This emphasizes the physical and social sciences, mathematics, and languages. Also included are courses such as art, choral, and public speaking. Most of the classes are electives, how- ever, there are several which are required each year and must be completed for graduation. The goal of this curriculum is to give each participating pupil a good basic background in many fields, so that he may continue his stu- dies in college and then specialize in his chosen area. The person interested in the secretarial field will probably choose the business curriculum.
