Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Three. There were thirty-eight in the group that enrolled that year. They came from many places. The most had been in the Junior High School the year before, but many came from other districts of Morgan County, and a few, even, from other counties. Shortly after enrollment the class had a meeting to organize. Owen Mesner was elected president, Nellie Haugh secretary, and James Hall treasurer. A few dropped out during that year but most of them overcame all obstacles and finished the year. The chief obstruction in the paths of the Freshmen then was in the form of Latin and Ancient History. At least one member of the class starred in basketball and others helped in other school activities. When Christmas came and the class gave Mr. Fries a turkey they were assured that they were the best Freshman class he ever had. When school assembled the next Fall a few members were added to the class but a much greater number had dropped out. Some were forced to go to work while others—well, Cupid knows where some of them went. The class felt much more important, now that there was another bunch of Fresh- men just across the hall. The officers this year were:—Nellie Haugh presi- dent, James Hall vice-president, and Anna Thompson secretary and treasurer. The class progressed well, although second year Latin and Algebra had their drawbacks. The class made its due showing in athletics, journalism and other student activities. When Fall came again the Class of '27 was classed as Juniors and the officers chosen were:—President, Owen Mesner; Vice-President, Mary Hare: Secretary and Treasurer, Leola Michael. In two years since entering High School the number in the class had been reduced from the original thirty-eight to about twenty-five. It was hard to determine just what had become of so many. There were two hard years to graduation but the fact that there were also two years behind gave consolation. Some had failed and had work to make up from previous years, so it promised to be a winter of work. There was great joy in the Junior room one day early in Nineteen Twenty-Six for the class rings had arrived. These had been ordered a few months before. The rings were made according to a standard design decided upon by the previous Seniors. Commencement time came and on class night the Class of '27 received the Senior key into their possession for the following year. When the Class of '26 graduated they left the Class of '27 in possession of Senior honors. Last September the Senior Class of '27 assembled with a feeling that only Seniors can have. The class was almost unchanged, the number being about the same as the year before. At the meeting for organization, James Hall was elected president, Oakla Ruppenthall vice-president, and Dorothy Shockey secretary and treasurer. The Class of '27 has shown up well in High School and is one of the finest classes ever graduated from Bath District High School. ■i •i Page twenty-two
