W HMI-IEIV HQ Freshman Class History Early one morning near the last of August, l920, the members of the Freshman class were seen toiling up the steps of the High School. Of course you have heard that it takes all kinds of people to make the world go around. So it was with our class. There were tall people and short people, fat people and thin people, but all were extremely anxious to begin their High School career. We were somewhat timid standing in awe of the upper classmen. After a few weeks had passed away we forgot this feeling. Before very long we had a class meeting and with the encourage- ment and advice of lVlr. Stewart, who presided, we elected our class officers, class adviser and choose our colors: namely, old rose and silver. Now as our organization is complete we proudly call ourselves the Class of '24. Foremost among the many ways we distinguished ourselves was the fact that during the Elson Art Exhibit we sold more tickets than any other class and were rewarded by a picture forthe school. While it is generally conceded that the Freshman class of 1920 is the brightest and most studious that ever entered the High School. we also claim to be the Hpeppiestu and have had many good times. Among the delightful social affairs was our class party. We scarcely recognized the gym, it being transformed by the high school and class colors in billiant array. It was a most successful party. Great credit is due to the social committee and the class adviser, Miss Kittle. The Freshmen are enthusiastic supporters of all school athletics and a majority can always be found at the games rooting for dear old Moundsville, even if they are the greenest class ever in M. H. S. Dear old M. H. S. Our love for you will never dieg We have a happy year as Freshmen And hope to be Sophomores by and by. Z s-4 .m ,-. Cl ... i N s if 11 I92l XX :JE

Q Why they do as they please and never a word 'Bout the way they behave nothing ever is heard. They break all the rules, and stay out late at night, l KNOW, for l've caught 'em and l don't think its right. l l remember a dream, that .l had tother night, 'Bout them SENlORS, and l wolce up with a fright. l dreamed they had gone to Mr. Stewart and knelt, And got permission to be as big as they felt. And my stars, what a sight, 'twould have frightened a mule To have seen 'em next morning a comin' to school. They Filled all the street and looked just as tall As the school house itself: l was 'fraid they would fall. 5 But l watched them go in and my what a squeeze- They had to get clown on their hands and their knees, One fellow got stuck and l laughed till l cried, A-watchin' him struggle a gettin' inside. l wish you'd have seen what them SENIORS done, When they went in for chapel: l'll tell you 'twas fun. Why they can't behave half the time, as they are, And as big as they were, why there simply was war. 7 'fx They're stuck on themselves, its as plain as a wall, 'ill And they think we lcids ain't in it at all, l , But WE. intend to be SE.NlORS some day w And the FRESHIES will catch it-just mind what l say! l , -D.
