The new building, the cor- ner stone of which was laid Tuesday, March 7, 1939, will be a sixteen-room structure of brick and steel construction. In addition to the sixteen class rooms there will be a large gymnasium and auditorium. This building will also house a shop which has pre- viously been located in the annex. It is hoped that this new struc- ture will make it possible for many new subjects to be introduced into the curriculum. WARM SPRING ECHOES Page 8 FACULTY Jesse R. Tyson Fairmont State Normal. A.B.

Page 17 WARM SPRING ECHOES Senior Class History President Vice President Harry Beard. Jr. Paul Tyson Secretary T reasurer Nancy Hovermale Anna Mae Weber The class of '39 began its four year career with very young, inexperienced students. The class was composed of seventy-six members, thirty-five boys and forty-one girls. At the first class meeting the following officers were elected for our freshman year: President, Portia Michael: Vice President, Joy Louise Michael: Secretary-Treasurer, Bette Shields. Early in the year the sophomores gave us a reception which we appreciated very much. At the beginning of our sophomore year we discovered that we had lost only three boys and gained three girls. This still made our enrollment seventy- six, the same as that of our freshman year. Those chosen as officers were: President. Robert Dunham: Vice President. Paul Tyson: Secretary-Treasurer, Portia Michael. During the year we gave the freshmen a reception, and they reciprocated. These affairs were very enjoyable. As juniors, we had an enrollment of fifty-seven, twenty-nine boys and twenty-eight girls. The following were chosen as officers of our class: Presi- dent. Paul Tyson; Vice President. Joy Louise Michael; Secretary, Portia Michael: Treasurer, Anna Mae Weber. We are now in our senior year, the most exciting time of all. The present enrollment is fifty-three, twenty-four boys and twenty-nine girls. Since our junior year we lost only five boys and gained one girl. Our junior play. Excuse My Dust.” proved to be a great success. Our senior play, On the Hour,” was also a success and was enjoyed by everyone. Portia Michael, of our class, has received the Scholastic Award for three years for having the highest average in the school. Her average to date is 96.54%. Last year we were very fortunate in having Corinne Rice win the medal given by the Gorgas Memorial Institute for the best essay written in our school. Edna Henry also won an honorable mention in a poetry contest for which she received a cash prize. Elizabeth Maysilles entered the West Virginia Inter-Scho- lastic Public Speaking Contest. She gave the oral Interpretation of Poetry. Many seniors are participating in the National Youth Forum essay contest which is sponsored by the American Magazine. During the four years the class has been represented in basketball, football, and track. A large number of the class have won letters in these sports. Twelve senior boys belong to the Hi-Y Club and twenty-two seniors belong to the Letter Club. Twelve of our senior girls belong to the Tri-Hi-Y Club, which was organized this year. For three years our class won the trophy for cheering at the basketball tournament. The class of '39 had hoped to be the first to graduate from the new high school; since we cannot be first from the new, we can be last from the old. WARM SPRING ECHOES Page 18 Junior Class History Seventy-one boys and girls entered Berkeley Springs High School for the first time in September. 1936. That year the freshmen chose as their officers the following: President. Henry Harmison: Vice President, Kenneth Yost: Secretary and Treasurer, Jeanne Shields: Sergeant-at-Arms, Clifton Wade. The class chose as its motto Upward and Onward.” During this year we were given a reception by the sophomores, and we in return gave them a Hallowe'en party. One of our number who entered Berkeley High with the freshman class moved away, and seven other students were forced to drop out for various reasons, leaving sixty-three students to advance to their second year of school life as sophomores. During this year we elected the following people to serve as officers for the class: President. Henry Harmison: Vice President. Paul Hawkins. Jr.: Secretary and Treasurer. Ruth Harmison: Sergeant-at-Arms, Philip Eichelberger. Our social activities this year consisted of two parties. We welcomed the incoming freshies by a reception in their honor. Later in the year they gave a party for us. In the basketball tournament this year our class won second place for cheer- ing, and other honors were bestowed on individual students. During this year we lost by death one of our classmates, John Shriver. Again in September, 1 938. our class advanced one step higher in the student roll of Berkeley Springs High School, thereby becoming jolly juniors.” As our representatives for this, our junior year, we chose the following people: Presi- dent. Henry Harmison: Vice President, Philip Eichelberger; Secretary, Ruth Harmison: Treasurer, Helen Ditto: Sergeant-at-Arms. John A. Phillips. The only social activity we participated in was a wiener roast given jointly by the junior-senior classes at Camp Morgan. We were honored this year by the Vice President of the Student Council, the Treasurer of Tri-Hi-Y. the Editor-in-Chief of the Warm Spring Echoes and three other members of the annual staff, being chosen from the junior class. A class that participates well and does its utmost” best describes the junior class. We have been well represented on the football field, on the basketball floor, on the honor roll, and in all other school activities throughout the three years.

After we had become accustomed to high school life we met under the supervision of our class advisers. Mr. Rider and Mr. Moyer, to elect the following officers: President. Fred Forney: Vice President. William Willard: Secretary. Ralph Ruppenthal: Treasurer. Bernice Lipsic. The social activities we freshmen enjoyed were the freshman and sophomore receptions at the beginning of the term: later in the year we had a picnic. As sophomores we entered school, the class of '41. with thirty-five girls and twenty-two boys. Our former president called a meeting and the follow- ing officers were elected: President. William Willard: Vice President, Le Esta Aulabaugh: Secretary and treasurer. Lila Keseeker. At this meeting we chose wine and white as our class colors. During our sophomore year our faculty advisers were Miss Rockwell and Mr. Hansroth. Under their supervision we planned a party for the freshmen. Later they gave us a Hallowe'en party. We are well represented in sports this year. The four following girls were out for basketball: June Ella Heare. Anna Jane Coughlan. Martha Ann McAfee and Mary Jane Swink. The following seven boys were out for football: Benton Michael. Harry Crow. James Rector. William Willard. Vaughn Shep- pard. Bruce Weber and Fred Forney. A number of the boys were on the basket- ball team this year. With four of our boys belonging to the Hi-Y club we were well represented in school activities. Four of the sophomore girls belong to the Tri-Hi-Y Club, which was recently organized. Those be'onging ro this club are: Le Esta Aulabaugh. Iva Lee Weber. June Ella Heare and Fern D'.wson. Our class is represented on the student council. Mary Jane Swink is the treasurer. Lillian Dulny is the chairman of the disciplinary comm ttee, and Richard Hawvermale is a member of the student council. We have twenty-six members belonging to the Emerson Literary Society and twenty-eight belonging to the Morgan Literary Society. The sophomores' skill in cheering won them the trophy in the basketball tournament of 1939. while our boys defeated the daring juniors with a score of 1 1 to 9. This year is proving to be even better than last, and we hope that each succeeding year will show an improvement. It is our desire during the next two years to help raise Berkeley Springs High School to an even higher level than it now has.

In September. 1938 forty-five girls and twenty-nine boys were enrolled in the ninth grade. Three members have been forced to drop out. but we hope that most of us can stay together until we receive our diplomas. Thirty pupils in our class came from schools outside of Berkeley Springs; forty-four came from the high school annex. During the latter part of September the sophomore class gave the freshman class a reception which was enjoyed by all of us. The freshmen entertained the sophomores on October 27. with an enjoyable Hallowe'en party. Our class has considerable talent. There is one freshman in the band, and there are nine freshmen in the Glee Club. Thirty-five freshmen belong to the Emerson Literary society: thirty-seven are members of the Morgan society. A number of us have already appeared on the weekly programs. The present freshman class has promising scholastic ability. On the honor roll we have had a better showing than any other class. Moreover, in the ten highest averages, members of our class have been outstanding. Seven freshman boys went out for football and eight for basketball. Three freshman girls are out for basketball. We. the class of 1942 hope to be worthy of the school of which we are a part. We hope to make a real contribution to its advancement while we are here.

Band The Berkeley Springs High School band was successfully organized for the first time in the history of our high school by Miss Rachel Hunter. The band in the first year of its existence (1 937-38) was comprised of approximately twelve pieces. The band rendered numerous selections on the weekly assembly programs. During Music Week it joined with the Cadman Glee Club in ren- dering a concert for the Parent-Teacher Association. At the end of the year, graduation came and with it the band lost five of its twelve pieces. This year (1938-39) the band is under the direction of Mr. Hansroth. At the mid-year mark it has gained back most of the pieces it lost, and up to the present time the band has played for assembly programs, given a concert for the P. T. A.: a concert for the Great Cacapon high and elementary schools, and played before the County Teachers Association. This year officers were elected to be the executive heads for the year. They are as follows: President Vice President Secretary-T reasurer A. C. Unger Billy Lawyer Virginia Michael Press Club President Anna Mae Weber Vice President Corinne Rice Secretary Henry Harmison Treasurer Gilbert Grove Sponsor Mr. Hansroth This is the fourth year for the press club in cur high school. It is gradually becoming one of our major organizations. The club has done much, under the direction of Mr. Hansroth. to interest the patrons of our school. The club is responsible for the publication of the high school paper. Berkeley Hi-Ltght, of which we are very proud. WARM SPRING ECHOES Page 38 Tri-Hi-Y To meet a popular interest and demand of the girls, our school has this year organized a 1 ri-Hi-Y Club. This is the companion organization of the Hi-Y Club. The Tri” in the name is significant of the following trios around which the club is built: the development of its members in “Spirit, Mind, and Body ': serving the three main training agencies. 'Home. Church, and School”: the objective. To Seek, to Find, to Share : the slogan, Pure Thoughts. Pure Words. United Service. ' The club colors of red. white, and blue express “Sac- rifice. Purity, and Loyalty. The Tri-Hi-Y movement originated in Pennsylvania. This religious, non- sectarian organization for high school girls now has clubs in at least six states. Our group is among the earliest ones in West Virginia. In our school it was decided that the membership, for the present at least, should be limited to twenty-four. Only the sophomore, junior, and senior classes may be represented. At the first meeting of the Tri-Hi-Y the following officers were elected: President Anna Mae Weber Vice President Mary Frances Weber Secretary Margaret Haddox Treasurer Virginia Michael The club chose Etta Enroughty as its sponsor. Mary Haddox and Jane Fearnow are also advisers. 1 his club has splendid possibilities. We trust that it will be a strong, per- manent organization which will accomplish the purpose of the Tri-Hi-Y movement: “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Christian Character.” WARM SPRING ECHOES' School Patrol The School Patrol was organized in January of this year. It is in its infancy but already it has done excellent work towards making traffic hazards safer for the little ones on their way to and from school. The patrol was organized by Corporal J. M. Johnson, of the West Virginia State Police, and Principal J. R. Tyson. As a reward for faithful service the boys were given a trip to Washington. May 13.

A dependable player with the love of playing football. A senior. Stu will be missed when next fall rolls around. His team mates elected him honorary cap- tain for the '18 season. A good college prospect. WARREN Yost ( Pop ) had a tough year. A regular, he was lost to the team in mid-season because of a broken leg. Playing end he left the team weak in that position the rest of the year. This was Pop's” last season with the Indians, but he should make some college a good player. STANLEY Everetts ( Toots”) added much needed spirit to the Indians' war cry. A hard battler. Toots” can again be expected to hold down one of the guard berths with capable form. HARRY Crow, (the “workhorse ). Harry was the only center we had: hence, he played all the time. A determined worker, he should be very success- ful in his athletic career. As Harry is only a sophomore we expect much from him in the future. HENRY HarmisON ( Fats”) was the heaviest boy on the squad. Playing guard he did much to make the center of our line strong. With the past year’s experience Henry will help to make a powerful line the coming year. CLIFTON Wade ( Buddy”) played regular tackle all season. The second largest boy on the squad. Clifton is a good steady player, but needs to get mad to show his full ability. HARRY Beard ( Shindy”) climaxed his high school football career when he scored against Hedgesville. A clean sport. Shindy kept the opposition around his end plenty busy. His position will be open next year. FRED Waugh ( Red”) played in the backfield for the Indians. He is big and strong and with more experience should become a valuable player. We expect great things from him within the next three years. BENTON Michael ( Beanie ) was the offensive threat of the tribe this past season. At present Beanie lacks only seasoning to become a fine player. JACK EicHELBHRGER (Jack) is another senior whom we will miss. Handi- capped by a knee injury. Jack still played plenty of good football. He was the best plunging fullback on the squad. With some added zest and speed he could play good college football. PHILIP EICHELBERGER ( Phil”) is a little small for high school football, but he made up for his size in fighting spirit. He plays halfback and sparkles on the defense. Phil is only a junior: hence we expect much of him next year. VERNON Rankin (“Possum”) was another freshman who earned a foot- ball letter his first year in school. Possum” took Pop Yost's position in the early part of the season when the latter was injured. CHARLES Sheppard. Although not a regular. Charles played a lot of football in the backfield. Charles will graduate this spring leaving us minus another capable player. Tom CoUGHLAN. Tom was one of the best guards we had. but size and inexperience kept him from being regular. His absence leaves the line much weaker for next season. JACK COUGHLAN. Another senior whom we will miss. Jack played full- back and end. depending on where he was needed most. A good tackier and fast on his feet, he took down many an offensive runner who may have other- wise scored.

Another senior whom we will miss next year. BENTON Michael. One of our sophomore stars and leading scorer on the team will be back to carry on his good work next year. Further development will make him an outstanding player. HARRY Crow. A sophomore paired at guard made a good combination. An exceptionally good dribbler and passer. We can use more like him. FRED Waugh. The tallest member of our team held the center position. A freshman who should make a real basketball player before he graduates. Harry Lutman. Phil Eichelberger. Fred Forney.

(Continued on page 68) ALUMNI WARM SPRING ECHOES Page 56 History of the Berkeley Springs High School The Morgan Academy was incorporated January 10, 1853, by Major Roberts who was its first principal. The school was held in the basement of the old Methodist church, and when this edifice burned, school was resumed in the new Methodist church. Both structures stood on the site of the present Methodist church. The most famous product of this school was Charles T. O’Ferrall who later became Governor of Virginia. The first Free School was established in Berkeley Springs in 1867. and was held in the basement of the Methodist church. The Board of Education consisting of Hon. John T. Siler, Judge J. S. Duckwall, and ex-Sheriff John H. Buzzerd erected a four room brick building on land purchased from Dr. J. W. Ewing, which was first occupied in the autumn of 1878. This school was named Mt. Wesley Academy in honor of the noted Methodist divine. The first class was graduated in 1890 and consisted of three persons: Lillie Bechtol, Hester Coughlan. and William Ganoe. In 1892 two more rooms were constructed, making a building of six rooms. The high school and grades were housed here until the fall of 1918 when the high school classes moved into the present building. The grades continued at Mt. Wesley and at North Berkeley. When the county unit became effective in 1933, the Old Dominion Academy building was purchased, and is used as an annex to the school. The annex, located two blocks from the high school, houses the seventh and eighth grades, the biology, and the industrial arts classes. The steady growth in the size of the schools of Berkeley Springs may be noted from the following: in 1875 there were two teachers employed, and 59 pupils enrolled. Later Mt. Wesley, with its addition, cost about $8,000. By 1907 the enrollment had increased to 345. The present high school building cost about $38,000. There are now twelve grade, and seventeen high school teachers. The enrollment is 384 in the high school, and 384 in the elementary schools of Berkeley Springs. Many of these students come to school on busses. Page 57 WARM SPRING ECHOES This year a new building is in the course of construction, and when school begins next fall students from the present building and the annex will move there. The building will be a pretentious structure, consisting of sixteen class- rooms, a large gymnasium, and auditorium. The cost will be close to $200,000. The two oldest organizations still surviving in the high school are the Morgan and the Emerson Literary Societies which were founded in February, 1908. These societies alternate in having charge of the assembly programs, which are held each week. The first principal at Mt. Wesley was Mr. Charles A. Waynant, of Beaver, Pennsylvania, who served from 1878 to 1880. Other principals have served as follows: Mr. H. W. Allwine, of York, Pennsylvania. 1880 to 1883: Mr. E. E. Mercer, of Fairmont. West Virginia. 1883 to 1889: Mr. C. J. C. Bennett, of Fairmont. West Virginia, 1889 to 1890: Mr. W. C. Miller, of Fairmont, West Virginia. 1889 to 1891; Mr. M. H. Willis, of West Union, 1891 to 1893: Mr. E. E. Mercer, 1 893 to 1 895: Mr. G. M. Bassell of Lost Creek, 1 895 to 1896: Mr. E. E. Mercer, 1 896 to 1899: Mr. R. E. Allen, the first principal from Morgan County, 1899 to 1900: Mr. J. N. Fries, of Dayton, Virginia. 1900 to 1904: Mr. John Buchanan, of Berkeley Springs, 1904 to 1905; Mr. H. E. Swope, of Windbcr. Pennsylvania, 1905 to 1908: Mr. W. C. Thompson. 1908 to 1912: Mr. C. G. Gain. 1912 to 1914: Mr. L. C. Yeard- ley, 1914 to 1917; Mr. J. H. Rohrabaugh. 1917 to 1918. (District Super- visor, 1918 to 1920). Mr. M. H. Duncan, 1919 to 1920; Mr. Frank Hall, 1920 to 1922 (District Supervisor. 1920 to 1926: Mr. V. E. Compton, 1922 to 1923; Mr. H. M. Beddow. 1923 to 1930: Mr. W. B. Simmons. 1930 to 1935; Mr. J. R. Tyson, 1935 to present time. Mr. J. H. Rohrabaugh was the first principal of the Bath District High School. (The list of principals who follow Mr. Rohrabaugh were the principals of Bath District High School.) W. C. Thompson who was principal from 1908-1912. and Jesse R. Tyson who has been principal the past four years, are the only principals who were graduates of this school. With the graduation of the class of ’39 Berkeley Springs High School will have completed fifty years of service to the community. It is interesting to note that when the fifty-first term begins a new building will have been provided.

Grad- uates of our school are scattered throughout the sev- eral states, and many of them are prominent in their profession. There was no organized association of our high school graduates until 1911. At Christmas time of that year a banquet was held at Hotel Washington, with Mr. V. C. Somers, class of '02. presiding. For a number of years following there was very little accomplished towards effecting a permanent organi- zation but at the present time much interest is being shown. The association is planning the customary banquet and dance, commencement week, for the class of '39. WARM SPRING ECHOES Page 60 Mount Wesley In 1878 a new four-room school building was completed in Berkeley Springs. It was first occupied in the fall of that year with C. A. Waynant as principal and was known as Mount Wesley Academy. Just twelve years later, in 1890. the first class was graduated under the direction of C. J. C. Bennett, principal. In 1892 two more rooms were added to the building and it served the community for both the Grades and the High School until 1916. Conditions then became such that more room was so badly needed that construction was started on a new high school building. Since the new building was occupied, the old Mount Wesley Academy has been known as Mount Wesley Graded School.” The fact that school was first held in Mount Wesley' in 1878. and that the first class was graduated in 1890 make this one of the oldest High Schools in the State of West Virginia.
