SOCIAL LIF-'E SENIOR CLASS PARTY One of the most successful events of the season was the masquerade party given by the Senior Class on Oct.-, 1921 in the Manual Training Room. The room was very artistically decorat- ed in following out the color scheme of orange and black to suit the occasion. The corn shocks were arranged around the sides of the room and also thru the hall where the guests passed in order to gain admittance. Helen Ernst and Earl Chambers received prizes for be- ing the best dressed there. At a sea- sonable hour a very delightful luncheon was served after which the guests re- paired to their ho-mes all having had a splendid time. JUNIOR CLASS PARTY On Jan. 21, 1922, the Junior Class of M. H. S., had the first party of the new year, and what was considered the best party of the school year. The party was held in the Manual Training room which was tastefully decorated in both class and school colors. The main feature of the evening was the Minstrel Revue of '22. This minstrel, given by eleven boys was at scream from the en- semble to the finale. Many jokes were told of fellow students, and several songs were sung. After the minstrel came the tournament, and then follow- ed the great guessing contest which was won by Ed. Echols. The eats were scrumptiuos, as a certain Freshie said. Everyone was feeling fine so they broke loose on some wonderful harmony which lasted until Good Night Ladies ended the fun. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshman Class under the sup- ervision of Mr. Tilock, held their first party of the season in the Girls' Assem- bly on Dec. 9, 1921. The room was deco- rated in the class colors which were green and white. A male quartette consisting of Bob Jones, Fred Parriott, Jim Robinson, and Heck Spoon enter- tained the folks for the greater part of the evening. Various other games oc- cupied quite a bit of the time. At a seasonable hour the guests all entered into a Grand March to the Domestic Science Hall and each, getting their re- freshments, made way into the assem- bly, to eat. after which the guests de- parted il homes.

SOPHOMORE PARTY On the night of Nov. 19, the moon was high in the heavens shining down through the clouds upon Moundsville lligh School. The moon in fact was so bright one from outdoors would have mistaken it for a lovely June night. But as you walked along in the moon- light to the building the thought of the party was growing too large for your throbbing heart to realize the beautiful evening. The party was held in the gym, which was very artistically decorated in the good old Sophomore colors, old rose and gray, along side ot which were the colors of M. H. S. A large dome draped with the class colors formed the center piece. Games and orchestra music furnish- ed the enjoyment for the evening. Thru the cleverness of Miss Kittle, the play of 'tGathering Nuts was a big success while Mr. Jones played the part of the villain. This was a complete surprise to every one there. He was ably assisted by Miss Sigafoose and Miss Patterson. Other games were al- so played. The girls in their dainty frock of organdies made one feel like it was summer time again. Delicious refreshments were then served by the Domestic Science Girlsof the class after which all departed for their homes. ROTARY CLUB BANQUET FOR THE BOYS OF THE SENIOR CLASS On NVQ-dnesday evening ot January 18. 1922, the Rotary Club of Mounds- ville luanqueted the boys ot the graduat- ing class ot 1922 in the Girls Assembly ot' the lligh School. The banquet was an enormous success to say the least and was perfectly prepared and served by the high school Domestic Science De- partment under Bliss Kittie. The cov- ers were so arranged that each guest of the t'lub was seated between two llo- tarians. At the end ol' the last course the :cpe-alter ot' the evening, Supt. Nelson, ot liellaire, Ohio schools, was introduced. His address was probably the most bril- liant and remarkable ever delivered to the Senior boys of the class of '22, He spoke at some length upon ideals nec- essary tor success in life today, and at no time throughout the evening's ad- dress, did he lose, in the slightest degree the absorbed interest of any person pre- sent. The recollection of that evening will live long in the memories of the boys ot '22, ad they will always recall with gratitude the all around good fel- lowship ot' the Rotary t'lub ot Mounds- ville.
