THE WARM SPRING ECHOES 3u Utentnrtam “Why should our tears in sorrow flow. When God recalls his own. And bids them leave a world of woe For an immortal crown?” As we wait and watch with our loved ones as they pass down the valley, to us it seems tragic, but for the departing one it is a glorious triumph as he leaves this world of sin. and enters his Father’s house. Thus it was with Professor Jay Newton Fries, who closed his eyes in death on January 24, 1929. Death was due to a stroke of paralysis from which he had suffered three days. Professor Fries was a native of Frederick County, Virginia. During his earlier life he united with the United Brethren Church, later became an ordained minister and a member of the Virginia Conference, to which he remained faithful until his death. He was very much interested in the educa- tional field of his church, helping found the Shenandoah College at Dayton. Va. He served there as an instructor for twenty-five years. The remainder of the time he taught in West Virginia, until two years ago when his health compelled him to retire from the service. He spent 28 years of his life in Berkeley Springs, four years serving as Principal of Mt. Wesley (1900-1904). During his life he was loved and respected by all who knew him. For several years he served as County Surveyor, and was very proficient in this work. After retiring from active service in the schools, he gave private instruction to numerous students. He always advocated improvement in our school system, and was always ready to aid the school in any way. While at Shenandoah College he instructed men who are now nationally known, and have become leaders in their professions. His duty on earth is completed, and his spirit has returned Home, but his influence remains with his many friends who loved him. He was a good husband, a gentle father, a true and honorable citizen, who always performed his duty. As a Christian he was faithful. His body was laid away at rest, in Greenway Cemetery, to await the trumpet call of the judgment day. THE WARM SPRING ECHOES rJ FACULTY I 9 - THE WARM SPRING ECHOES I Joe L.

Vice-President VIRGINIA AULABAUGH ______________________ Secretary-Treasurer things, be it the tiniest, have a beginning, and in the life of those things is the beginning and making of a history. It may affect the lives of nations or of men; or it may be unimportant and sink into oblivion with the fleeting of time. Let suffice to say that, be it great or small, it is history, nevertheless. Within the scope of histories here expressed, somewhere, lies the history of the “Class of 1929” of Bath District High School. Our history may seem unimportant to the outside world, but we know better. We have thought, and planned, and dared, and accomplished: therefore, we have a history made up of our lives, as we have lived from day to day, and as we have written the record, so it must forever stand. Four years ago, on one beautiful September morning forty-two light- hearted and joyous boys and girls stood at the doors of the best high school in the land, waiting to be admitted into a ship of pleasant learning on a boundless sea. As a class we came from town and country. Our school lives were spent in outlaying districts and the graded schools of the town. Some were total strangers, both to their fellow students and to the methods of high school life. For some the transition from the grades into high school was so smooth that it was scarcely noticed: for others the way was new and difficult. Be it as it may, we were all of one crew on the same ship of knowledge, to sink or swim through the four years of high school. It took only a short time for us to learn that we were all the class of 1929, and with this thought came the desire and the will to make this, our high school career, the best of any class that was ever graduated from Bath District High School. All brave ships must have a crew to steer it aright, and thus with the help of our teacher, Nancy Michael was chosen as Captain, while Leona Barnes and Rachael Hunter proved worthy assistants. Th way was very hard and difficult, and some of the crew gave up the struggle, but, for most of us, the journey through freshman Year was achieved successfully and we landed safely on the Sophomore shore. The way was made harder, however, for all Freshmen are subject to their accustomed share of ridicule. We were not exempt from that stage. It was rumored that our class contained some of the best students in the high school, both in Athletics and Scholarship. With this thought in mind, and with a stronger and braver crew, we started out as Sophomores, determined to do even better work, and to leave a record of achievements such as will never be excelled in the history of Bath District High School. Anna Hunter was chosen as Captain, and Agnes Shirley and Rachael Hunter as assistants. Each one has been faithful throughout this, the hardest struggle. Not all have been as good as the best, but each one in his place tried to do his part. They were thinking of the joyous days when the crew would land on shore, safe from all danger and harm.

Vice-President HELEN MILLER —.................... Secretary-Treasurer III HREE years ago, one beautiful September morning, the Junior Class of JIL 29 enrolled in Bath District High School. In the beginning of our Freshman year we had an enrollment of forty-eight. The class was composed of those who had graduated from Junior High School, and many from the country. A class meeting was held, and the following officers were elected: President Henrietta Crowell: Vice-President, Philip Hunter; Secretary-Treas- urer, Helen Miller. Shortly afterwards Henrietta was called away by the “Angel of Death . Although she has departed from us she is not forgotten. Philip Hunter then acted as President for the remainder of the year. Three of our members proved their athletic ability by making the basket- ball teams. During that year we aided the Washington Literary Society very much, because of the vocal and literary talent of which we are possessed. Most of us were successful enough to prepare ourselves for the room across the hall. In the following September we all returned to undertake the tasks set before us. Each of us was eager to take another step up the ladder of learning. Henry Ruppenthall was elected President, and Iva Lee Yost Secretary-Treasurer. The Sophomore Class proved to be of very great value to Bath District High School. It was well represented in all the school activities. Although several students had deserted us and quit school, we were not discouraged, but willing and determined to go ahead. Our Sophomore year proved to be very successful. As time went on we found ourselves as Juniors. This meant that we were up a step farther. Willard Braithwaite was elected as our leader. It has come our turn to publish the Annual, which is going to be one of the best ever issued by Bath District High School. We are all striving to make it a success. After the Annual Staff was elected one of its members, Evelyn Ambrose, decided that it would be more pleasant to be married than to go to school. Irene Dauberman took her place on the staff. Several members of the Junior Class participated in the football games, and have won their letters. We are all working and planning together .to make our class one of the most prominent Bath District High School has ever known. Everything must have an ending as well as a beginning: so here our his- tory ends for the year ‘29. For further information concerning our class see next year's annual. —HELEN KELLY. © - §( 26 } ■• M © THE WARM SPRING ECHOES ©. -4 27 fr- THE WARM SPRING ECHOES Sophomore Class Roll Mildred Braithwaitc Mildred Harris Katheryn Ruppenthall Marguerite Michael Eugene Miller Elizabeth Holland Viola Jones Agnes Weigle Ruth Michael Velma Shirley Iva Lou Michael Georgia Boyd Virginia Stotler Evelyn Stotler Arlene Michael Ama Yost Viola Whisner Charlotte Devore Elmer Fredman James Widmyer Kenneth Kerns Fern Michael Virginia Hunter Opal Somers Margaret Coughlan Reva Miller John Fulton Fred Weber Ned Catlett THE WARM SPRING ECHOES e History of the Sophomore Class CLASS OFFICERS Marguerite Michael..................................................... President Eugene Miller........................................... Vice-President KATHERYN RUPPENTHALL ______________ Secretary-Treasurer T, HE Freshman Class of 1928 has become the Sophomore Class of 1929, a sadder but wiser congregation. The frivolous Freshmen are now the sober Sophomores, with a few exceptions. Several students lost heart and dropped out of the race, but the majority stayed and are diligently pursuing the usual routine of daily work, doing their best to be assets and not liabilities to our dear old high school. At the beginning of the year, a class meeting was held and the said offi- cers were selected as leaders of the group for the year. With these leaders, the class members decided that they were ready to launch forth for the second year of the grueling voyage on the turbulent sea of education. Those of the Sophomore Class participating in athletics this year are as follows: Ned Catlett, Kenneth Kerns, John Fulton, Mildred Braithwaite, Margaret Coughlan, Georgia Boyd, Elizabeth Holland, and Marguerite Michael. This class forms a part of the Lincoln Literary Society and has tried to contribute its share of numbers to the programs. When the officers were elected in this organization for the second semester, two of them were from this class: President, Kenneth Kerns, and Vice-President, Ned Catlett. Under the excellent supervision of the teacher, Mrs. J. William Johnson, how can the Sophomore Class hope for aught but success? —Margaret Coughlan. 4 30 )■ ■- © THE WARM SPRING ECHOES © $ freshman: -4 31 - © THE WARM SPRING ECHOES Freshman Class Roll Pat Miller Alice Culp Jane Hovermale Mildred Ambrose Eileen Hamilton Viola Avella Lois Cupp Lloyd Fearnow Jack Hunter Charles Newbraugh Carolyn Rymer Ira Me Bee Hazel Gates Lewis Crowell Mildred Hunter Gerald Young Hilda Stotler Clifford Newbraugh Mary Haddox Augusta Ruppenthall Nancy Moore Frank Wise Virginia Hovermale John Cain Margaret Woolford Cletus Price Aletka Hobday Julian Chambers Chester Michael David Dawson Etta Michael 0 33 © THE WARM SPRING ECHOES © History of the Freshman Class CLASS OFFICERS Eileen Hamilton............................................... -.......President GLENNORE Miller.............................................„Vice-President LOIS Cupp___________________________________________ Secretary JANE HOVERMALE_________________________ -.....Treasurer JACK Hunter ...................Sergeant-at-Arms o N a beautiful sunshiny morning, the tenth of September. 1928. forty- three boys and girls enrolled as members of the Freshman Class of Bath District High School. After a few weeks of school our class began to diminish. At first twelve boys and girls came from rural schools but during the first semester four dropped out. Six pupils from the town also dropped out during the first semester. At first our class had forty-three members while at present it has only thirty-three. Three of our boys were members of the football team. They were: Julian Chambers. Charles Burkhart, and Frank Wise. All of these boys won their football letters, so that now the Freshman Class is represented in the Letter Club. We feel that this is a good beginning in Athletics. Our class has not been backward in other things. At the first of school we were badly in need of money. On Wednesday, November 28, we gave a benefit picture at the Berkeley Springs Theater. From this picture we cleared thirty-five dollars. On this same night Lewis Crowell had the misfortune of breaking his leg. Although our history is brief this year, we hope that both our history and our class will grow as we advance. —Lois Cupp. - 34 )3— THE WARM SPRING ECHOES ACTIVITIES i -4 35 ►- c THE WARM SPRING ECHOES a Hi-Y Club Another successful year has passed and the Hi-Y Club has not stood in the background, either.

That sport was football. On the evening of September tenth, a meeting was called for all boys interested in football, beginning with the ninth grade. Coach W. A. Reiter, former graduate of West Virginia Wesleyan College, took charge of the meet- ing and that same evening took the boys out for a little practice. Complete football equipment for the squad was ordered and practice began in earnest. For some time no improvement was noticeable. Most of the boys were green, some of them having never seen a football game. Several times they grew very discouraged and what was infinitely worse, Coach Reiter and Assist- ant Coach Young grew somewhat down-hearted also. But every dark cloud must have its silver lining, and when the new uniforms finally arrived, and a game with the Petersburg eleven was scheduled for the not-too-distant future, things began to look rosy again. After weeks of strenuous toil, the squad journeyed to Petersburg for their first game. After the boys “caught on to” the intricate construction which goes to make up a real football team: and after struggles, fights, knocks, and bruises, they managed to have a very successful season, considering all handicaps which had to be overcome first.

They tried to do their best, but it seems that it fell just a little short of expectations. However, as we were playing in oppo- sition to teams such as Hagerstown. Frederick and Waynesboro, it isn’t any wonder that we were outclassed. Those schools have many more to pick from than B. D. H. S. has. Something was lacking in the team this year. It may have been a lapse of that old time spirit but whatever it was we are going to overcome it and trim everything in sight next year, even though we are losing six out of our ranks. WATCH US GO!

The boys bucked a hard schedule this season, playing some very hard fought games, alter- nately winning and losing. This year the teams were admitted into the C.V.A.L. circuit and encoun- tered stiff opposition everywhere they went. They played against seasoned teams: veterans who were considered the “cream of the crops , but usually managed to give a good account of themselves. Their games were all charac- terized by good sportsmanship and clean playing: and those are the things which count in the long run, along with grit and determination. We are going into it to win the championship next year, and although we are losing Paul Catlett, Nick Myers, Gayle Ziler and Clark Catlett, there are still others coming on who are willing to fight for B.D.H.S on the basket- ball court. B.D.H.S. finished fourth in the League race, which is going some for our first year in the circuit.

Henry Ruppenthall CLASS HISTORY—(Continued from page 22) our class claims some of the best, while five of the ten scholastic monograms awarded that year were won by Sophomores. The hardest part of the journey is now over. Again the same crew, not all of them, however, for some have deserted the rank and gone out into the world, chose Leona Barnes as Captain, and Agnes Shirley and Virginia Aulabaugh as helpers. So far our efforts have been successful. In every branch of school work the strength of the class has been felt. The third edition of the Annual was edited by the Junior Class with the desire to please the pub- lic. In this we were successful. The Class Play. THE PATSY, was success- fully given by members of the class, and was declared by the public to be the best play ever given in Bath District High School. And now. in this our Senior year Leona Barnes was again chosen as Cap- tain of our brave and faithful crew, and George Miller and Virginia Aulabaugh as helpers. Our high school career is now rapidly coming to a close. It has not all been smooth sailing. Often breakers have rocked the ship but the storms have always passed quickly away. Our work has been well and faith- fully done, and now we can look back over our four years' work, and see a duty faithfully and well done. Soon the “Class of 1929” will be severed, each going his own way, but underneath it all will always be the memories of the happy and joyous associations of high school days! This, our Senior year, has brought us new ambitions, the desire to do and dare those things which have been as dreams in the past. Our ambition as Freshmen was to be graduated from Bath District High: now it is the desire to do great things in the wide world for which we shall be known in history. And thus the his- tory of the Senior “Class of 1929” of Bath District High School comes to a close. For with graduation, the history of the Senior, as a Class, ceases, and each member of the brave and faithful high school crew will cast his or her lot with another crew, who will be launched on a ship which will sail, “Out of the harbor, out on the deep.” —AGNES SHIRLEY. c 4 59 }►- 5 THE WARM SPRING ECHOES Receipts and Disbursements “To show that we are not as crooked as we seem to be, but are instead a d--- site worse, we submit the following report on the finances of this volume: RECEIPTS National Advertising . $305,50 Local Advertising—Cash 0.98 Sale of Annuals to students________________________________ 136.00 Sale of Annuals to Alumnus....... 6.00 Sale of Cut to Messenger...................................... 5.00 Putting Ben Allemong’s picture in with the Seniors_______________ 10.75 Putting “Ears” in with Charlotte 0.93 Recording Glee Club jungle tones for “Vitaphone 2.69 Sale of bologna, thrown at Annual Workers ________________________ 1.11 Personal Contributions ______________________________________ 2.83 $471.79 DISBURSEMENTS Printing Volume IV $200.00 187.50 Cover .. ... .. 30.00 Business trips to various places (selling ads) 4.21 Supply of pens and pencils for “Ye Losing Editor Ink for pens, and lead for pencils 0.52 0.23 Loss on photographs 3.57 Redeemer for Junior President 8.72 Glue to make Bus.
