Co-operation has been the by-word of every member, and by this means we have accomplished one of our ambitions: A FIRST CLASS school paper. I ..-M f The graduating class of M. H. S. is larger this year than any pre- f ceding class. Fifty-one' will wear the student's cap and gown this X year. Our Freshman classes are increasing year by year, and it only X seems natural for us to predict a new addition to our already over- crowded building. Ll d Elf ' W tl I92I ll M H5

We HMI-IEIW W Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. March March March March March March March March March March March March CALENDAR-Continued The Juniors have party in Mr. Auld's room. Farming- ton didn't mind their defeat after the party. Many teacher visitors. Our faculty goes to the institute this afternoon and we get off. Mr. Stewart is all smiles. He is a happy father. We celebrate Washington's birthday by hard study for tests. Have you had your picture taken? The faculty must also go through the agony. Mr. Lantz murders a mouse. Girls' screams indicate perfect panic. Have your proofs arrived? Anti-chewing gum law enforced with great losses among the chewers. Do you always forget your Manual? The Orospolitan must appear on time. Beware the editor. A new national government, but the school remains un- changed. We have been winning basket ball games continuously. That tournament begins to look good to us. Wheeling refuses to play basket ball. Why? It might be summer but it's not. Senior class finally agrees on a play. Committee finds trouble picking a cast, but Hnally announces success. New baseball equipment arrives. Begins to look like business. Fifth period. Sad mistake in Geometry l IB. Some one wrote word interesting instead of intersecting on board. It did not fit the subject. The editor is trying to take this from the machine, and hence must cease my struggles. Oh, for the good old summer time, when all our studies end. 17 'I l92l I' XX

.me HMI-:sn ff EDITORIALS--Continued Moundsville High School needs an addition to its gymnasium. lf the west wall was torn away, a balcony could be placed in such a position as to enable all to witness the games in comfort. The great draw-back in the present arrangement is that one is crowded for room and the floor space of the gym is taken up at the expense of the contestants. A dressing room could be placed underneath the balcony which could be entered from the outside. This advantage would give the town's people access to the gym without disturbing the work of the school. Equipment could be added to the gym and all advantages of it could be open to the use of those who are not in school. It is hardly necessary to dwell upon the fact that an addition is needed. This could be added with but little cost as the architect of the building provided for such annexes. An auditorium could then be added by building in the space over the gymnasium. This addition must come sooner or later, and as it would help over- come the tendency of the street loahng by offering a place of recre ation in the evenings. Boost for this until it is a reality. Baseball Baseball is known to be Coach Sweeney's main sport and Mounds- ville should have some team this year. Material is very plentiful and practice will start as soon as the weather permits. Eighteen new complete uniforms are already on hand and a well equipped squad will always take the field. The schedule is as follows: April 8-St. Clairsville at Moundsville April 9 -Warwood at Warwood. April I6 -Linsly at Moundsville. April 22 -Parkerburg at Parkersburg. April 23 -Clarksburg at Clarksburg. April 27 --Linsly at Wheeling. April 29 -Wheeling at Wheeling. April 30 -Triadelphia at Nloundsville. May 4.-Triadelphia at Oak Park. May 6.-Warwood at Moundsville. May 7.-Wheeling at Nloundsville. May l l.-Cameron at Nloundsville. May l3.-Parkersburg at Moundsville May l4.-Clarksburg at Moundsville. if 'l l92l N X C1
