'rum M. P. H. s. TATTLER 21 A Hiking Club has been formed in connection with the Y. W. C. A. The girls who walk seventy-five miles will re- ceive letters for their sweaters. They have shown much in- terest in this. The girls have also adopted a French war orphan and in this way are trying to do their bit for the war. We are sure the Y. W. C. A. is a permanent organi- zation for our High School. ....,1.-l. SOCIAL THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET, 191-7. It has become a custom for the junior class of Mt. Pleas- ant High School to give a banquet for the Seniors. There- fore on Friday evening, May 25th, the two classes and the High School faculty gathered at the Y. M. C. A. to enjoy the banquet which had been prepared by the Juniors. Although there had been much contention between the two classes over colors and party intrusions, all were willing to forget their past injuries and join in having a pleasant evening. This banquet really marked a climax in the events of the year, for here the two classes met on equal ground and a feeling of peace and friendship was established be- tween them. V The large banquet room of the Y was fittingly deco- rated in the Senior colors, pink and green. Ferns, foliage and sweet peas adorned the tables. A huge rainbow hung on the north wall, the significance of which was in keeping with the toast program. At eight o'clock all were seated. One feature which tended to relieve the formality of the occasion was the singing of the High' School song. . For it's always fair weather, When school fellows get together. Between courses the classes sang songs to each other. The menu was as follows: S Strawberries Veal with Mushrooms New Potatoes Peas on Rosettes Orange Ice Rose Radishes ....s.fQea - I

. .,,v,,5l as 20 THE M. P. II. S. TATTLER in the Humorous class was sent. She won in the sub-district but did not receive first place in the district contest. How- ever she had a splendid piece and gave it well, so we were proud of her just the same. Ruth is a good speaker and has a pleasing manner so she always makes a hit This year Ruth again was chosen to represent the school at the sub- district contest at Bloomfield. GLEE CLUB. r t Our Freshman year Miss Roberts was the Director of the Glee Club and under her supervision the school had a splendid organization. For the past three years Miss Celine Barger has had charge of the Glee Club and has been very successful in training the girls. She is a lady of exceptional ability and the school has been very fortunate in having her a member of the faculty. Miss Barger has put a great deal of enthusiasm into her work and has made it one of the most popular organizations in the school. Last year the school had a Boys' Glee Club which was also splendid. The two glee clubs gave an operetta, The Windmills of Holland, which was a great success. Miss Barger gave a great deal of time and strength to this and too much credit cannot be given her. The principal parts were taken by members of our class and we were justly proud of them. The Glee Club is an important and instructive part of our High School and we hope it will continue to be a popular and well organized department. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet.

The girls of our High Schbol have long felt the need of some organization in which they could get together and become better friends, but not until this year has such an organization been formed. They have shown great interest in the meetings and because of their enthusiasm we are sure the Y. W. C. A. is going to be a success. They hold their meetings every two Weeks and usually some town per- son is asked to speak. They have had some splendid talks this year. '

Instead of the usual J unior-Senior banquet, this year the class of '19 has wisely decided to give a six o'clock luncheon which will take the form of the usual banquet as to center- tainment and toast program, but at the same time be more in keeping with the war times. - We do not know what the special features are. That is a deep, dark secret. Because of the mysterious looking pack- ages that are being taken to and from the Domestic Science rooms by the Juniors and because of the whispering tha-t always ceases whenever a Senior approaches. We look for- ward to something unusual for the evening's entertainment. The Juniors are noted for doing things right, so we know this feature of their high school activities will in every way measure up to their former high standards. The luncheon will be held May 10th, at the Y, The toast program will be as follows: Pictures of Memory. Toastmaster L ...,..............................,....,,..........
