CLASS HISTORY September, 1937-Europe was facing economic and political upheaval, but at Bath school, the fu- ture Class of '49 was facing its first day at school. October, 1939-Now acquainted with school life. the '4-9ers find themselves one-fourth of the way through school. They had already heard a great deal about one Adolph Hitler, but didn't quite know what to make of it. December, 1941--The class could hardly recog- nize itself--how they had grown. At the same time things seemed to be in a state of confusion, the grown-ups were concerned about Pearl Harbor, the '49ers were too busy with fractions. June, 1943--Hurray! They had reached the half- way mark. The class was still swelling in numbers, and the war was now a bloody reality. Students were buying war bonds, and there was some com- plicated business about rationing. September, 194-5-In high school at last, the class had now become a melting pot, with students coming to Bath from all over the world. Hostilities had ceased in Europe and Asia, and already there was talk of inflation, reconversion, and post-war booms. September, 1947-Many of the '4-9ers were earn- ing their letters in athletics and other high school activities. The problems of peace were as com- plicated as the difficulties of wartime, and class- room studies seemed to be quite as disturbing. May, 1949-The last pencil has been silencedg the Class of 1949 goes out to face the complicated job of living in a world struggling for peace amid a Berlin Blockade, war in China, Palestine, and talk of unemployment and depression in the U. S. The '4-9ers could not tell what the future held--but they knew that they were part of it.
