THE MOUNDSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC COUNCIL At the close of the 1921 football sea- son the proposition of an Athletic Coun- cil or Student Board to oversee and manage all things concerning athletics in High School was brought forth and received unanimous approval. Three players from the squad were appointed to interview Mrf Haugllt and Supt. Shreves upon the subject. A favorable report was received and ab-out two weeks later, at an assemblage of the en- tire student body, Mr. Haught outlined the matter and asked that each of the four classes of the school elect a dele- gate to a committee to draw up a consti- tution for such an organization. The delegates elected were: Charles Moser, Senior, William Reed, Junior, Perry McMahon, Sophomore, and John Fahey Freshman. Coach Tilock, of the foot- ball squad, presided over the meetings of the committee and also took an act- ive part in framing the Constitution. After a lapse of nine weeks, during which time the committees held four meetings and gathered data, a constitu- tion was drawn up and submitted to Mr Haught, the Principal,, on March 29. This document is the first of its kind ever drawn up at the Moundsville High School and is result of an insistent and growing demand on the part of the stu- dent bo-dy. It is remarkable in many ways and shows the results of long and careful deliberation upon the part of its framers. Under the terms of the Constitution there is to be a go-verning body known as the Moundsville High School Athlet- ic Council, which shall have control, management and oversight of all mat- ters pertaining to athletics in the High School. This co-uncil will consist of seven members, two from the faculty, one of whom shall be the Athletic Di- rector, and five from the student body four of whom shall be the managers of the teams in the major sports. This Council will meet a long felt want in the High School, namely parti- cipation by the students in the manage- ment of that part of the school in which all are interested. lf properly appre- ciated and supported by the present and future students of Moundsville High School, it will prove one of the greatest benefits that they could re- ceive. Coach Tilock's assistance in framing the Constitution for the Council has been one of the essentials of its success, and he has proven to be one of the mc-st helpful and farseeing members of the High School Faculty. Mr. Haught, Principal, and Mr. Shreves, Supt. of Schools have by their cooperation and approval also enabled what, at first, seemed an impossible fancy, to become an actual realization. The Mounds- ville High School Athletic Council sho-uld prove to be, in future years, one of the most progressive steps ever taken by its student body. CHARLES MOSER, '22

THE 1921 FOOTBALL SEASON This year 's football season has been a success in 'more ways than one, al- though the record of games won and lost may not seem so creditable. Ten games were played of which four were won and six lost. Most of thetteam this year were inexperienced and this, coupled with the fact that tive of the .games were played away from home, caused most of the defeats suffered. The team slumped after the first three games and lost five straight, but finally pulled up enough to win the last two games. Last year 's defeats by War- wood and Cameron were wiped out this year in decisive fashion, Cameron being defeated on their home grounds. Coach Tilock deserves great credit with the team this year. His cool judgment and sincere efforts in behalf of the squad have made him one of the most admired and respected coaches ever at Moundsville High School. It is almost a certainty that he will be with us again next year, and if so, the chances of a successful season next fall will be greatly increased, The squad next year should be one of the best ever turned out at M. H. S. Only five regulars will be lost by grad- uation, and with six players from this year's squad, and a host of green ma- terial to pick from, the 1922 team should repeat and add to this year's victories.
