They are only a year brighter than us. Mr. Hoskinson believes we will some day learn to get into the right class rooms. I hope so, because l'm rather tired of being laughed at. We gave our first party in the First Ward building. Everybody satisfied. Mr. Rogers discussed bed bugs in class today. That's a queer-thing to talk about, I thought everyone knew about them. Exams are coming soon. I'm scared green. That is, greener than I am ordinarily. Three cheers! School is over and we will be Sophomores next year. just watch us! Sop Iiomure Year Goodness. those little freshies are so green. l'm sur prised that any one could know so little. The Greenies are still scared of us. School out until after Christmas. An epidemic of f:lu. We're just as sorry as we can be about that. Back again. Our class still has the reputation of being the first to do things. We give the hrst party of the season in First Ward school. Both the IVIoundsviIIe and Sistersville basket ball teams are entertained. We never cause any trouble. The close of this month means the end of one more school year. lt answers the eternal question, Did you pass? Hooray! We are half way through our high school education. junior Year At last we are in the much talked of New Building. We hear many speeches about the care we should take of the new building. We not only have a new building. but a new principal, Mr. Melville Stewart. Mr. Stewart. we wish you all manner of good luck in your new un- dertaking. . If 'I l92l I'

L ' Y . . xk HMI-ISI' 1 X Oct. I . Oct. 5. Oct. 30. April. May l . May 30 We find that we are supposed to aid the Seniors in set- ting a good example for the Freshmen and Sophomores. How will we ever do it? It would seem from the general conversation and lec- tures that we are not so good at this good example business. We still hold our former reputation of Do it now, our class gives the First party in the new gym. The party, in its nature a Halloween celebration, was of course a great success. At last we give our Junior play! We don't like to brag or anything like that but everyone admits it was a good play. l'm sure that none of the Juniors at least will ever forget An Early Bird. We owe much of its suc- cess to our class adviser and coach, lVlr. Guy W. Mor- rlson. We banquet the Seniors. My one pleasant thought dur- ing the banquet was that next year l can sit idle while the other class does the work. Vacation is here. A few months and we will start on our last year of high school.

The Orospolitan is under way. lke Walton seems to have a very persuasive manner when it comes to getting material in on time. january. The foot-ball season is over and basket-ball practice has started. We all hope for a successful season. February. About this time we are tired of being good examples and have gone on a strike. March. Commencement pictures are practically finished. Of course the girls' pictures are not one bit good! Every one busy with Orospolitan. April 8. Senior play given at the Strand Theatre. May. Commencement will probably be on the 20th of May. If all the students in our class keep up their good work for the remainder of the term, ours will be the largest class that ever graduated from Moundsville High School. l'm sure everyone will do their part to help the class of '21 Continue their splendid record.
