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

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

The Caerulean Class Will We, the class of 192.6, of the Sharon High School, being of sound mind and body, but being aware of the uncertainties of life, do publish this to be our last will and testament, in the manner following to-wit: We advise and bequeath the following tokens to our classmates; Jean Caldwell We feel sure that Jean Alice will be editor of the Advice to the Lovelorn. W ' hen you gaze into this crystal ball you will see your romances of High School days. Your clients will proht greatly by your advice, which you will be able to give because of your practical experience. George Wattendorf George, we all appreciate your low, melodious voice, but, as perhaps you realize, quite often your brilliant thoughts are unheard. We feel certain that with the aid of this megaphone you will become a great orator and speaker. Ethel Kaercher Many people do not know, Ethel, that you are our champion typist. In mak- ing errors you excel us all. In order that you may begin your career right, we bequeath you this small error-less typewriter. Venita Baker Although you were a child in “No Trespassing”, you are really a grown-up young lady, and you must stop blushing. This whitewash will help to hide your blushes. Kenneth Callahan Kenneth, you are very inconsiderate of the townspeople of Sharon. When you broadcast you disturb us all. The next time you wish to tell the world some- thing, why don’t you go onto this island? Your endeavors will at least be appreciated by the inhabitants of Noman’s Land. Cathella Wright When we are alone and lonesome our thoughts often stray. Our glances generally rest on something we value. When Warren is away this moss may help to take his place. At least it will remind you of him. Page twenty
