junior Class History O N one beautiful September morning, three years ago. a group of laugh- ing, joyous boys and girls stood at the doors of good old Bath District High School, waiting to be admitted into a year of diligent and pleasant study. Among this group were the boys and girls who are now advancing with floating banners for the Junior Class. After being tossed about for eight long years and almost swallowed up by the great waves in the wild and stormy ocean of learning, they welcomed with lasting devotion the calm and quiet peace of the High School Shore. These boys and girls came from all parts of the country, some of them being total strangers, but it little mattered from whence they came, or who they were, for the only thing of importance, then, was that the last dark cloud had passed away, leaving only a glorious September sun to shed its rays of light upon the already beautiful scene. Soon the golden gates of opportunity were opened wide and the now suc- cessful Junior Class, entered as Freshmen, into an even deeper ocean of knowl- edge, to know not when or how they would be embarked upon the shore of success or failure. 1 he little ship in which we were sailing, was very strong and manned with a brave crew. Nancy Michael was chosen Captain, while Rachel Hunter and Leona Barnes proved worthy assistants. With the help of the ever-willing teachers, who always came to our aid when we thought our frail ship would be dashed to pieces, we landed on the Sophomore Shore. The way had been very hard, for we were treated as all Freshmen are, and received our share of taunts and ridicule. The ever-dreaded Ancient Wave of History, had been the hardest to subdue of all the huge waves. Now our journey was continued in a larger and better ship. Anna Hun- ter was chosen to be our new Captain. Several members of the brave crew had been lost on the way. but most of them kept steadily on thinking only of that joyous day. when the goal for which they had been striving so hard would be reached. The hardest part of the journey is now over. We have again started out with Leona Barnes as our worthy Captain. We have met with success in every branch of school work. The Junior Class has taken a conspicuous part in the Athletic and Literary Activities of the school. Our journey so far has been one of the most successful ever made in Bath District High School. The huge wave of American History is the greatest difficulty before us this year, but we will master it as we have those before us, and soon we will reach the Senior Shore. The way has not been easy. For every rose there has been a thorn, and the clouds have not ceased to hide the bright light of the sun. We are plodding steadily onward to the day. when the last dark cloud will pass away, leaving only a golden memory of High. School Days. Paqe twenty-four
