It was a parody on the story of Pocahontus and John Smith. Jack Thom.as, as Captain Target , fell in love with M. P. H. S., Alma Horr. The Indian, Orville Moxley, captured Captain Target and brought him before Chief Facultyn, George Waugh. The Chief or- dered the Indian to behead Captain Target , but just as the axe was about to fall, M. P. H. S. rushed in and, throwing herself at her father's feet, pleaded for Captain Targets life. After much deep thought, Chief Faculty released the prisoner and Captain Target' was a free man. The Junior Stunt THE class of '24 was very proud of its Junior Stunt. This stunt was put on to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet and was given ckuring the Junior year. The class was given one week to pre- pare it and during that time, great excitement reigned. The Junior stunt was in the form of a circus. The main per- formance was a play put on by a few members of the class. Then too, there was a pantomine presented by other members. These were given in the Assembly Room, while downstairs were the many sideshows. In the Gymnasium was a veritable three ring circus. Clouwns, acrobats, parachute-jumpers, high divers, and even Rueben and Rachel were rf? presentedl. The people who attended the circus declared that it was the best ever.

QEIWWWWNWIKQMWWMWWMWWWWKQWIWNGNQMWKWWIWNGIRMWQVWIKWQWMWKWOWIRQS Speech of the Class of l924 By HELEN PHELPS,'24 HREE years and six months ago our fathers p'ut into this High School another class, full of greenness, yet resolved to the pro- position that all men are green at that age. Now we are through with that great disadvantage and have 'shown that our class above all classes is the best and will be thus in the years to come. Many times, we have met on great battlefields with our teachers. We have wished at times that there was a final resting place for those books that have here given to so many, grief and isorrow. These years have been alto- gether very hard and toilsome. But, in a larger sense, we have enjoyed it, we have loved it, and we wish We could live our high school days again. Those brave men living and dead, who struggled here as we have, could not appreciate them more than 'We do. The World will little note, nor long remember what we do or say here, but we can never forget what has happened.. It is more for us, the Seniors, rather than the underclassmen, to learn more this year than ever before, for we may never return. It is rather for us to dedicate our great tasks to the remaining classes in high school and in these tasks, to which we gave our last full measure of devotion, we take increased interest, and hope that they may be ae- complished better, than ever before, in the future years, and We here highly resolve that these years have not been lived in vaing that this class of nineteen hundred twenty-four shall progress on to greatness, and this High School of the students, by the students, and for the stud- ents shall not perish from Mt. Pleasant. Class Will By MIRIAM SIBERTS and FLORENCE SCHUERMAN,'24 E, the Senior Class of 1924, of the High School of Mtf. Pleasanti, Iowa, being of sound and disposing mind and memory do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testa- ment. We hereby bequeath all our property to other members of Seeley Memorial High School. We nominate our class sponsors, Miss Pieper and Mr. Landis, eX- eeutors of said will. In witness whereof, We have to this, our last will and testament, subscribed our name this eighteenth day of February, 1924. Senior Class. Harold Karrer's vocabulary to Webster.
