Cla44 Poem. As the year ' 55 comes to its end We, Seniors, say good-bye to our many friends; We wish them luck through out the years. And wish them success in their careers. To our many teachers whom we hate to leave. And some to whom we will always cleave We say good-bye. From the dear old school with its meaning true. We leave with memories, old and new; It has been the scene of our start in life, And has taught us to search for truth and right. We will always hold its banner high. But now we salute as we pass by To say good-bye. We leave our hope, our luck, our tears. To those who follow in the coming years; To their success, as well as ours. We leave Mount Pleasant for future powers. One plea we make, through the years we thrive, Remember your classmates of ’55. And now good-bye. Kay Frances Stallings BcUeol Bo4iXf Oh, when Mount Pleasant High School falls in line We’re going to beat our rivals everytime. We’re going to sing and shout and make some noise Because our high school’s filled with loyal girls and boys. So, come on rah, rah, rah, Mount Pleasant High, We’re going to pledge ourselves to do or die. We’re going to sing our praises to the sky--by and by Mount Pleasant is the school for me.

QIga4 When the familiar ring of the school bell sounded in the fall of 1951, ninety-nine green fresh- men entered high school, with determination and hope of great accomplishments in the four years lying before them. Our advisors were Miss Ruth James, Mrs. John Richards, and Mr. Luther Adams. We chose Tony Arey, President; Morgan Walker, Vice-President; Mildred Mills, Secretary; and Linda Fisher, Treasurer. A Square Dance was held in the school auditorium as our first class party. At the close of school, a swimming party was held at Mirror Lake. Returning to our studies in the fall of 1952, our determination was higher than ever. The result of the election of officers was: Margie Smith, President; Morgan Walker, Vice- President; Frances Cook, Secretary; and Coy Plott, Treasurer. Our class advisors were Mrs. Carl Kluttz and Mr. Roy Webster. Since the Square Dance was so much fun the year before, our class again decided upon an- nother to be held in the school auditorium, as our first Sophomore party. The second one was a skating party which was held at Locust Skating Rink. At the close of school a swimming party was held at Happy’s Lake. Spring came and then Fall again, and we found ourselves entering school as Juniors. This was one of our busiest years. The class chose as their leaders Edgar Trexler, President; Morgan Walker, Vice-President; Mildred Mills, Secretary; and Kay Mullis, Treasurer. Our class chose Green and White as the class colors along with the white gardenia as class flower. Our motto was, “In Thy Light We May See Light.’’ Our advisors were Mrs. E. J. Harbison and Miss Carolyn Mills. A three-act comedy play was presented entitled, “The Imaginary Invalid.” The cast was Morgan Walker, Frances Goodman, Ann Hopkins, Linda Fisher, Bill McMahan, Coy Plott, George Hahn, Joe Barrier, Tony Arey, Nadine Petrea, and Edgar Trexler. The play was directed by Miss Mi lls. Our Junior-Senior Banquet came next. From the sale of Magazines, our class took the profit and presented the 1954 Junior-Senior Banquet, with “Graduation,’ as the theme. As our first party our Junior year, we chose a Square Dance in the school auditorium. Our last Junior party was held at the Lions Hut. Again the school bell rang. The Senior class of 1955 entered to finish their high school days. The class chose Edgar Trexler, President; Morgan Walker, Vice-President; Tommie Foil, Secretary; and Jarrette Hammill, Treasurer. The white gardenia was chosen as class flower. Baby blue and white were class colors. “They Can, Who Think They Can,’ was chosen as class motto. The Senior class presented as their play, “There Goes the Bride.’’ Those taking part in the play were: Morgan Walker, Mildred Mills, Linda Fisher, Tommie Foil, Frances Goodman, Edgar Trexler, Bill McMahan, Tony Arey, Ann Hopkins, Harvey Lyerly, and Nadine Petrea. The play was directed by Mrs. Harbison and Miss Sowell. A number of Seniors spent five very pleasant days in Washington, D. C. The hour has come to say farewell to our high school days. Never will we forget the long living memories of our high school life. Today we receive our diplomas. Tomorrow we lead. FRANCES GOODMAN Class Historian
