Who's Who At Wasatch - 1927


Lee adds:  Eric Clitheroe was a Mt Pleasant boy that went on to become an outstanding Professor of Philosophy at Purdue University. He returned to Wasatch my senior year, 1940, as Guest Speaker for Inspirational Week. Those of us that may have been "veering" he put back on the straight and narrow.


Nathan Long was a 10 second man, the title we always gave to the fastest runner in the class. But Nate's was truly earned. He may have been High School State champion. The Mt Pleasant Lions Club sponsored a trip to the National championships for him accompanied by Coach Brunger.
