Sharon High School Classmates Cathella We’ll begin at the end, And tell of our friend Our “Thella,” Cathella Wright, Who wishes some day. To become if she may, a politician, bright. As Almeda Meader she took the cake’’ — And also much other food,— But as to being Cathella herself. She’s jolly, and nice and good. Venita Then comes our Venita, she’s number one On our alphabetical list — And that’s the way she would stand in the row If it came to being missed. She’s happy and busy and vehement, too, When she needs to assert her way. And the wink of her eye is so quick, cute and sly “Deta’’ could not be spared for a day. Jean Dark-eyed Jean plays with our hearts Just about as she pleases. She can give you a glance That’s melting sweet or one that almost freezes. I’d sometimes like to be her book. If she at me would so steadily look. But Jean’s quite a student and a sport Of a very, very pleasant sort. K.enneth C. Kenneth is gracious every day I can’t tell you why, but it’s just his way. He has a wonderful gift of speech; ’Tis said the Supreme Court some day he’ll reach. And the Judge thereof will be the man. We know now as Kenneth Callahan. George George Wattendorf is a kindly soul. And a brilliant student, too. But when it comes to a social dance. He shirks a partner, it is true. George has handsome hair and eyes. And might be a beau all right. But instead of that he aims to become a literary light. Page seventeen

The Caerulean The Junior Trom A GREAT social and financial success. It was given in the Town Hall on Friday, February 13, 19x5. The Hall was artistically decorated. Lattice work of blue and gold hid the unsightly beams and ceiling of the Hall. Flowers, ferns, and streamers adorned the stage, walls and exits. The Prom commenced with a Grand March in which all those present could participate. Following the March was the dancing which continued until twelve o’clock. Our success was greatly due to the help and suggestions of Miss Katherine Burgoyne, our class adviser. Kay. ■ e The Turton Debating S ociety T he Burton Debating Society was organized by Mr. McGrath in March, 192.6. All the members of the High School are eligible. This society has been dedicated to the memory of our past-principal, Mr. Burton. Considerable good work along public speaking and debating lines has already been accomplished. We hope and feel confident that under the able supervision of its adviser, the club in the near future will become a valuable part of the school activities. g The Stentype Club T he Stentype Club was organized in 192.4 by Miss Curley, and by the Class of ’14. It is composed to the Senior Class, and the graduates of past years, who have taken the commercial course. The purpose of this organization is to further the education of its members. A second biennial Business Show was given by this club on June 4, 19x6. The officers for the years i92.5-i6 are as follows: President, Kathryn Collins, Vice-President, Virginia Collins; Secretary, Marion Mahony; Treasurer, Ruth Hutchins. Page sixteen

The Caerulean Kichard “Richard Rafter” is a name We will not soon forget. He began his hrst year with an argument And this fourth year argues yet. Scholarly and business-like is he, But as ladies’ man he’s absurd For a lady as is generally known, Likes to have the very last word. Y athryn Kathryn Collins, so they say. Will be private secretary some day To the Greatest Lady in the Land, And a member of our President’s band. She began High School with nice long curls. But now she’s one of our business girls And does everything in a business-like way. Even to flirting a bit, they say. Nancy Though we through years shall wander. Our pals we’ll not forget. And in two years of Sharon High, Nancy has become our pet. She hopes to be a poetess. And business woman, too. She may count on us still wherever we are To try to help her through. Ethel Ethel Kaercher takes the lead In our stenographic class. Wonderful things for Ethel some day Must surely come to pass. For she’s faithful and patient and very polite. And qualities of such sort We hope may secure for Ethel a place As stenographer in the Supreme Court. Ruth Eor diligence Ruth is like a bee. And she works late every night; Thoroughgoing in everything. To study is her delight; Ruth is gracious to us all. And she’s full of courage and pluck. We expect to meet her as a nurse some day And we wish her the best of luck. Page eighteen
