The ban- quet was ready at 6 o'clock and the boys along with Miss Miriam Stultz and Mr. Leo Spoon, the two cheer leaders, assembled at the girl's study hall where a beautiful sight met their eyes.

At each place a dainty, hand-painted place card was found with the nick- names of all present inscribed on them. Quite a bit of time was taken in finding their own places, but, after this was done, and grace was asked by Supt. Shreves all were seated The enjoyable part was now coming. The menu was as follows.

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.

FIRST ANNUAL SCHOOL AND OFFICERS BANQUET On December 16, 1921 about seventy teachers and members of the Board gathered for their first annual banquet in the High School Building. The Domestic Science Class under thc supervision of Miss Kittle did the serving. Supt, Shreves was appointed chairman of the evening and Mr. Het- zer, Pres., of the Board, was toastmas- ter. The different members of the Board, namely: Mrs. Lutes, Mr. Hen- derson, Mr. Francis, Mr. Humes, and Dr. Duffy responded to toasts. Each building was represented in the program, which was as follows: In behalf of the Central Build- ing, Miss Founds gave an inter- esting talk, Miss Sigatoose and Mr. Yerger rendered solos in behalf of the High School. From the Third Street School, Miss Edith Ewing sang and Miss Geneva Lancaster gave a reading. The First Street School broke the formal nature ofthe occasion in both their numbers. First came the reading of limerics, ex- tolling the virtue and character- istics of several who were pre- sent. Their second number was a very cleverly arranged contest. Papers containing riddles, the answers to them being names of the local teachers, were distrib- uted and a time limit was made tor answering them. Much fun was afforded by each of these numbers. Quite a number responded to in- formal talks. An evening of good fel- lowship and pleasure was enjoyed by all present, and all are glad that such An Annual Get Together Meeting has been established.
