6111.95 History In August, 1949 the doors of old Bath High School swung open to seventy-nine eager freshmen who were clamoring to begin their high school education. Somewhat frightened by the bells, and decidedly confused by the lengthy assignments of English, Biology, and Algebra that were handed to us, we wondered if any of us would ever make a passing rade. g Due to the large enrollment, the boys and girls were, separated. Mr. George Fussell was in charge of the girls while Mr. Gray Hodges was in charge of the boys. Our studies were the most important part of our freshmen year. We presented a short play and had the privilege of having some of the class take part in various activities about the school. Six waiters and waitresses were selected from our class to assist in the Junior-Senior Banquet. By the time all our difficulties had smoothed out and before we realized it, spring flowers had ceased to bloom on the soil banks and the trees were losing their leaves, and we were once again in school. Seventy excited sophomores answered to roll call in August, 1950. We marched importantly to our room and were disappointed to learn that we must again be separated. Mrs. Virginia Howe was in charge of the girls while Mr. Fenner Boyd was in charge of the boys. Many members of our class became an active part of the Beta Club, Junior Red Cross Council, F. H,A, , and F. F,A, organizations. Our sophomore year came to a happy and successful close, bringing to an end half of our struggle to become graduates. We began the most important year thus far with fifty-six students on roll. We were happy to have as our adviser, Miss Mary Anne Campbell. Maynard Waters served as our class presidentg Hilton Woolard, vice -president: Gwendolyn Paul, secretary, Elizabeth Cutler, treasurerg and Phrosene Latham, re- porter. We selected our motto, class colors and flower. Shortly after the beginning of school we began to plan for our Junior Play as a means of raising money for our Junior-Senior Banquet. On November 16, we presented a three act comedy entitled, Too Sweet for Sixteen, which was a big success. In the spring we gave the seniors a farewell banquet with Show Boat as our theme. The decorations carried out the idea of a show boat coming into shore with the dock crowded with curious people. A semi-formal dance brought this happy occasion to an end. At the close of school the following marshals were chosen for Commencement from our class: Gwendolyn Paul, chiefg Marilyn Mason, Fannie Pearl Modlin, Elizabeth Cutler, Rosalee Congleton and Judy Chrismon. Cn the night of graduation our class was very proud to have Ann Kilby receive the Home Economics medal, and Gwendolyn Paul the Science medal. We elected the following officers at the close of our Junior year to serve as our senior officers: Hilton Woolard, president: Dick Adams, vice-president: Ann Kilby, secretaryg Evelyn Alligood, treasurer, and Judy Chrismon, reporter. We returned to school in the fall of 1952 proud to bear the title Dignified Seniors, forty-two in number and very glad to have Mrs. Gladys Lollis as our adviser. One of the happiest events of our school life was our four-day tour to Washington, D. C. , which we took on the 5th of October. We returned with pleasant memories which will always be with us when we think of our happy school days at Bath High. We drew up a list of privileges that we had been looking forward to since our freshrnan year. At the same time we elected our Senior Superlatives by popular vote. In a short while we will be receiving our class rings. This is not the only occasion that we are anticipating, however. Presenting the Senior Play, attending the Junior- Senior Banquet, and Senior Day are all spot lights in our senior year. Finally after four years, we will have reached our goal, Class Night, Baccalaureate Sermon, and most important of all, Graduation. As we go to press with our year book, we look back with many fond and happy memories. As freshmen, we thought the four years ahead of us seemed all too long. As Seniors looking back over four pleasant years, the time now seems all too short. GWENDOLYN PAUL Historian
