« EX LIBRIS “YE FAMED WARM SPRINGS” 1949 W A R M SPRING ECHOES BERKELEY SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL Berkeley Springs, West Virginia The Senior Class takes pleasure in dedicating the 1949 edition of the Warm Spring Echoes to Mr. M. P. Skinner, whose capable direction has made this publication possible. I le has been a mem- ber of the Faculty for eight years, as teacher of Commerce, English, and Journalism. He has shown great patience and understanding in his re- lationship with students. His interest in sports and other extra curricular activities has brought him closer to his pupils and made him seem to them infinitely more than just a teacher—a friend. Left to right- -Paul V.

I he staff of the Warm Sprint Helloes wishes to honor the old historic shrine of early education in Morgan County by devoting a page to its memory. In 1 878 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 direc- tion of C. J. C. Bennett, principal. In 1892 two more rooms were added to the building and it served the com- munity for both the tirades and High School until 1918. In that year the High School was moved to a new building under the name of Bath District High School. Since the new building was occupied “Mount Wesley Academy” was known as “Mount Wesley tirade School.” It was abandoned as a school on the completion of the present modern High School in South Berkeley Springs. The grades occu- pied the Bath District I ligh building. The fact that school was held in “Mount Wesley” in 1878 and that the first class graduated in 1890 make this one of the oldest high schools in the State of West Virginia.

McJILTON GENE ULYSSES SPRING GLEN DAVID RICE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The Senior Class of 1949 now takes time to remember the incidents of the past six years which have had a part in the shaping of its future. These years in B. S. H. S. have in- cluded participation in numerous literary, dra- matic, musical and social, as well as formally educational events—an appropriate manifesta- tion of our motto, “Enter to learn; Co forth to serve.” In September, 1945, one hundred and five freshmen entered the Senior High School. A highlight of this year was a Halloween party given in honor of the sophomore class. As we were underclassmen, however, emphasis was placed on academic achievement rather than on extra curricular activities. As sophomores our class was represented in many school activities and clubs. We gave an- other party, this time for the freshmen. But the high point of achievement was our presentation of “The Highwayman,” a play in which the hoys played the girls’ parts and vice versa. As a comedy the play was a howling success. The next year we became juniors and upper- classmen. Again we showed our acting ability in the comedy, “Professor, How Could You! It was at this time that our class donated The 1949 Warm Spring Echoes twenty-five dollars toward the stage play scen- ery. In the spring came our trip to Washing- ton, I). C. This was not only an entertaining, hut also a highly educational experience. And we will never forget that prom. We waited all year for it, and were thoroughly convinced that it was worth waiting for. Now, as seniors, we have come to the end of the trail through high school. Scenes along this trail have been many and varied. This spring we were introduced to the wonders of the great city of New York. We caught a glimpse of life on Broadway, life among the skyscrapers, and life down to Chinatown. But here in school we have seen our members distinguish themselves in the yearly literary contests. We have seen them perform on the f(X)tball field, the basket- ball floor, and the baseball diamond. We have seen our class represented in the musical groups and organizations of this school. And as we look forward to life in college, or to life on the job, we know that our efiforts and our teach- ers’ efforts for us during these past six years in B. S. H. S. have not been in vain. The trail we have traveled divides now into a number- less variety of roads leading in all directions. Each of us will have to select one. But no mat- tere what the choice, we can look forward with eagerness, for we are prepared. 21 CLASS OFFICERS FRESHMEN President.............................................

After a prolonged vote-counting session, the class proudly announced the following officers: President....................................David 11 unter Vice-President........................... Raymond Lawyer Secretary...................................... Rhelda Rice Treasurer.............................. —.....Scott Rhoe Throughout the year the class appeared in various activities. There were band members, glee club girls, literary contestants, and then those athletic events that kept the “cheering freshmen” yelling to the last whistle. In November the Sophomores formally made us Freshmen. We had a super party and the initiation served as another step forward. In early spring we expressed appreciation to the Sophomore Class with a carnival. Everyone enjoyed the surprises. Remember the fortune teller when she foretold what each of us would he. Climaxing the activity, the talented ones of the class presented the long to be remembered Tent Show. To bring things to a climax we donned our old clothes, loaded the truck, and spent the whole evening of skating at Ridgeway. Having climaxed another rung of the ladder, we are eagerly awaiting a new and exciting Sophomore year.

The team participated in two invitational meets, one at Handley High, and the other at Fort Hill, and the Regional Meet which was held at Martinsburg. Two members of the team went to Charleston to participate in the State Track Meet. Ranking fairly high among the other schools, the Indians copped second in the Handley Meet, third in the Fort Hill Meet, and third in the Regional Meet. The outstanding member of the team was Ed Weber, the best distance runner in this region and the second best in the state. His specialty was the mile run which he won at all meets except the State, where he came in second. At the two invita- tionals and the Regional, he also took firsts in the 880 yard run. Chet Shade also went to the State Meet after he had captured first in the broad jump at the Regional. The 1949 Warm Spring Echoes 45 Trout rozv—Jim Lopp, Doug Smith, Jim Perry, Ed Weber.

The main goal of the council was the organization of the noontime recreational program. Included in this were the various seasonal activities. Those at school at noon participated in dancing, basketball, ping pong, softball, horseshoes, and football. The seventh grade took as their project for the year a clean-up campaign, con- tributing to the appearance of the school. Climaxing the activity, the annual Basketball Banquet was held April 12, spon- sored by the council, at which time the basketball participants were given recognition. To carry on the election of new officers, a nominating committee was appointed. Following the election by the student body, these newly elected were installed at a traditional installation service.

The purpose of an International Relations Club is to study and discuss prob- lems of world interest and influence. The need was felt to have all those students who plan to continue their education meet and study together the various shades of opinion which go to make up our world government. We understand that edu- cation is an ever growing process and it is our determination to foster a better understanding and appreciation of the many problems which influence our every day living.
