Show IS MT.PLEASANT UN THE MAP? Shortly after a recent game of Basket Ball between the local Hij.h S :hool team ann another team, the outcome of which was very much j against the locals, the members of the team were comfo rted with the question, "Is Mt. Plesant on the Map?" Just ask yourself the question and after you have reached a conclusion consider the following statements. When Richfield played Manti. at that place, the receips amounted to $90. At 50 25 iwr capital the nnmber in attendance was US I, not count-j ing those admitted free. If 16 per! cent of the people attended the 1 gam? Manti has a population of 2400 quite large enough to be on the map. When Manti phiyed the Snow Ac-jadcmy Ac-jadcmy at Ephrain', the receipts were about !?60 at SO. 25 per capital those in ai tendance numbered 240 If 16 per cent of the towns population 'were at the game the population of the town is 1500; large enough to be on the map. When the Scow Academy played theN.S. High School here the re ceipts of the game weie $5.70. At SO. 25 per capita those in attendance numbered 3S paid spectators If this represents 16 per, cent of the population of Mount Pleasant then this town has approximately 240 in habitants. Not nearly large enough to be on 'he map. If we want the map makers to place a little dot where Mouut Pleasant Pleas-ant is situated, if we wish the people traveling through the- conntry to know there is such a place then we must wake up and let the people know we are alive. Let us support our High School and athletics and by so doing, produce an enthusiasm and a winning team in all sports. Let us see if by Friday night, March 8th, we cannot increase the population of Jlount Pleasant to 2400 and place it on the map, Let us give our support sup-port to the game between the High School and the Spiingville High School and help our own team win. |
