1904 - 1905 Mt. Pleasant Schools Report Card for Fremont Anderson


We found this report card in the attic of the Relic Home.  It has the signatures of Mina Hasler, Joseph Hughes and Mrs. R. Anderson.  It is a first-grade report card.  We have left off the grades, but can say that Fremont  did very well in art.
