Committees were chosen and practices began in November for the Senior Play, 'The Tavern', which was presented on December 9 and 10 in the school auditorium.

The Senior Ball was an affair to be remembered.  It was held at the Du Barry Room of the Hotel du Pont on February 3.  The dance marked the first formal and the biggest dance of our Mount Pleasant career.

During the winter the new recreation room was secured by the twelfth grade for their use.  Many enjoyable senior activities were held there.

Before we knew it, graduation had rolled around and our thoughts turned to the name cards, announcements, and caps and gowns.  All 62 seniors enjoyed the activities of the last few months together.  Senior Odd Day was held in April.  Many memorable things can be recalled from the senior trip - and on June 10, the 'Farewell to Seniors Dance' was held for our class.

The Baccalaureate Services, Class Night, and Commencement put a final ending to our high school education.  Many students in our class will continue their education, while the rest will seek other opportunities, but whatever tasks face us, we never will forget the thrill of being the first graduating class of Mount Pleasant High School.  It has been a grand period of our lives and one that will always be remembered as we leave our school to take other responsibilities in this great world. - PAULINE PEPPER
