THE M. I'. II. S. TATTLER 23 SENIOR STUNT. One of the great events of our Senior Year was the Senior Stunt, which was held at the High School building April 13th. Only one week was given us in which to work out our ideas for the affair. Each one did his share of the work. Not one tried to shirk and because of the co-opera- tion of the faculty and class, everything went off like clock work. The entire school building had been transformed into a place of amusement, the assembly being used for the main stunt. The main stunt was divided into three parts: first, an operettag second, a minstrel showy and last, a tableau. The main fioor down stairs gave the appearance of the midway at a county fair. Various side shows had been planned and a jazz band patrolled the street to keep order. Perhaps the room that attracted the most attention was the Domestic Science room, which was converted into a mess tent where sandwiches and Ades were sold. The other sideshows onthe midway were: The Hawaiian. Girls, The Doll Shop, Polly's Predicament, Franco the Ma- gician, Our Own Movies and Shoot the Kaiser. 1 HONORARY ' This page is dedicated to those students who have distinguish- ed themselves along any one line during their four years high school course.

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 ...,..............................,....,,..........

24 THE M. P. 11. s. TATTLER A WORD OF APPRECIATION TO OUR BUSINESS MEN. The business men of Mt. Pleasant are the loyal support- ers of the High School. They have been behind us with their financial assistance and always they stand ready to encourage and help us in numerous ways. Four years ago they financed our football team, buying our suits and giving us all the aid we desired. Last year they subscribed money to send our basketball team to the District Tournament and, when the team took first place over all Southeastern Iowa basketball teams, they again' helped us and sent our team to the State Tournament. This year, when we were in danger of ruin due to the fact our athletic coach was called to the colors, they brought an experienced coach from Ottumwa to put our team in shape. When, through his assistance, we were again able to take the Southeastern Iowa championship, they sent our team to Iowa City to compete with the strongest schools in the state for the honor which so seldom falls to a school of this size. By reason of hard fighting and good team work and the support of the whole town, our team again brought home the honor of being the best basketball team in the state of Iowa. . We, the class of 1918 of Mt. Pleasant High School, in be- half of the High School, wish to express our appreciation of what the business men have done for us. Komedy Trio k 1
