Bath's Reception to the New Year 1921 in Town
Precisely at midnight the Happy New Year 1921 arrived under clear starlit skies with a crisp 16 degree temperature. Two church bells rang, a caller wished a friend well at Thompson's Corner, dancers left Armory hall, and couples laughed as streets emptied toward home. A tailorshop gramophone played a jig while a girl at a chamber window watched the baby year arrive. A mainline trolley began its first run as youths left the Colonial club, clubs’ windows dark except few offices softly lit, fifteen minutes after twelve the business district quieted.
