Letter From Member of BCHS Class of 1889

Letter From Member of Bainbridge Central High School Class of 1889
"Echo" 1937
 
Class of 1937:
Time marches on!  Because of limited seating facilities at Bainbridge High School, the exercises of June, 1889, were held in Prince Hall.  The class consisted of five women, three of whom are still living [in 1937].
 
With the stage bordered by ferns and daisies, with their hair 'done up' and their dresses 'let down', these young ladies discussed and settled the problems of the day.
 
But the interest in romance, the forming of lasting friendships, the loyalty to ideals, the desire to be of service to others, and the determination to constantly add to their education--realizing that the latter is a continuous life process;--these unchanging values are always the same, whether it be 1889 or 1937.  Gangway for the yougg men and women of 1937!
 
Edith West Bennett, 1889
