Due to the fact that Mrs. Sherwood, the 1956 Green Leaf advisor, was new to Mount Pleasant this year, the organizational work of the yearbook was not begun until well into September.  So with one strike against them, the class went to work.  The editor was chosen, Barbara Snow.  It was decided to choose only one editor to simplify delegation of responsibility.  A superior staff was then organized to co-ordinate the material needed for an outstanding yearbook.  With the co-operation and patience from our able advisor, we have at last finished this important job.  As the years roll by, if by leafing through this yearbook you recapture some of your high school days, this book has accomplished its purpose.  - 1956 Green Leaf

To a man who is devoted to Mount Pleasant High School:
> an inspiring leader and a helpful counselor;
> one who is sincerely interested in the welfare of each and every student;
> one who has guided us toward the realization of our desired goals;

> a man therefore devoted to the future of our great country ~
As a token of our gratitude for all he has done for those before us and will do for those following our class, we dedicate this Yearbook to Mr. Earl Raymond Schwinger.
