s THE WARM SPRING ECHOES History of the Senior Class CLASS OFFICERS Leona Barnes......................................... ............................President GEORGE Miller................................................. 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.
