Thinking Ahead

This school was established in 1902. Sometime in 2002, a sign extolling “100 Years of Excellence” was installed.

It is now 2009 and every time I see the sign, I wonder, “Which seven years weren’t so excellent?’

Perhaps the sign should have read: “100 Years of Excellence, and counting,” or, at the very least, “100 Years of Excellence, 1902- 2002.”

As it stands now, each year that passes just makes me wonder which years weren’t so excellent.”
