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

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

Sharon High School Donald Manager of our basket-ball team And captain of our hearts And we love to go riding with “Donny boy” When his car is not “in parts.” President of our class is he And also excellent in history. It may be that he’ll teach some day In some famed college far away. Vivian Our Valedictorian, Vivian Leighton, Shines like a star in our sky, A’s single, A’s plussed, she has won all the way. With ne’er ever seeming to try. She favors our boys with a smile now and then. And as often they get but a frown. She’s our musical prodigy, and as a school friend She’s one of the nicest in Town. Virginia Virginia is a little spoiled. But we love her just the same. And she has qualities that to us appear. As beautiful as her name. “Jibby” (for short) is a thrifty little soul. And if she’s ambitious she may some day attain A very scholarly rank. Kenneth B. Kenneth owns a racer So he sets us all a pace He’s a dainty, dressy ladies’ man As such he wins the race In all our beauty contests. And in our school plays, too; But Kenneth is a student And he’ll surely carry through. Betty Betty Peck, our thin little “Bet” Likes to sing at the top of her voice — And for four years we’ve listened as well as we could — To do otherwise we had no choice. But Betty is cheery and good-natured, too, And will help any comrade in need. And if ever she sings and studies abroad We wish her success, yes, indeed. „ „ — Betty Peck Page nineteen
