Growing is a slow process which takes years to accomplish. Yet, the mere acceptance of your diploma will change you in that moment from an adolescent high school student to a young adult. In that moment you have assumed additional tasks, and in some cases heavy burdens have been placed upon you. ln that moment you have crossed the threshhold from dependence to responsibility, and many of you will be charged with giving to others the same type of care and guidance that only yesterday you received from your own teachers. We are not concerned as to your future, nor do we doubt that you can and will find happiness and success. Behind you are three wonder- ful years at Mount Pleasant and experiences which have enriched your entire being while preparing you for the things to ccme. Before you lies an unknown but bright future in this blessed land of freedom and opportunity. Go forward with a firm tread, a smiling face, and a level gaze. Congratulations to the graduates of the class of June, 1954. LOUIS l. KRAMER Assistant Principal MR. LOUIS l. KRAMER Assistant Principal

, K JV MR. JOHN H. GILLICK Principal To OUR GRADUATES: No moment, thus far, in the life of any individual member of the class has ever been as important as will be that moment when each of you receives a di- ploma from Mount Pleasant High School. That moment will express the fact that you have successfully completed your high school studies and are then face to face with the thousands of tomorrows that lie ahead. You will be stepping from a land of directives into one of decisions and judgments-and, it is fondly hoped that your training at Mount Pleasant will aid you greatly in your choice of future endeavors. There is an inborn satisfaction-a satisfaction of the soul-found only in work, in a job well done. I sincerely trust that each of you will find such a satisfaction by doing something in life that is useful, constructive, and produc- tive. Human liberty is at the crossroads! Your generation must manifest an unconquerable spirit, a superb type of courage. together with an undying confi- dence and faith in the heritage that is yours in order that you may kindle the souls of future generations with the fire of zeal, devotion, and service to the ideals of America. Go forth with our best wishes for success! And, may we, who remain, bask in the reflected glory of your accomplishments. Ad Multos Annosl JOHN H. GILLICK. Principal

Nite . Gbigttllnran lior many years, the faculty members of Mount Pleasant High School included a woman of great determination, unerring faith and loyalty, and unfailing efforts in leading many through the doors of suc- CCSS. Here was a woman who fought sickness to guide her boys and girls toward their goal: Who, on her death bed, still asked and worried about them. This woman was none other than Miss Alice E. O'Halloran, be- loved class counselor of the class of June, l9'54. She was our friend before that fatal day in April, l95'5, and she will remain an unforget- table memory forever. Therefore, we, the class of June, l954, dedicate our NIQTOP in her loving memory,
