CLASS HISTORY Come, gather around the old rockin chair while I tell the story of that wonderful class of 1949 of Sharon High School Well, it seems as I recollect when the kids Billie Bob Ball and Dolores Adams started in the First Grade of Sharon Grade School in 1937 During the first eight years there were several that Joined them In the Second Grade, Carl Alvin Allison Jo Ann Culp Bonnie Ball George Schmidt Harold Loyd Gaston, Elvin Groce and Harold Halley Miss Carol Hynes was the teacher in the First and Second Grade Let me see I can t remember any that were added in the Third and Fourth Grade but we had a new teacher, Doris James that we loved very much In the Fifth and Sixth Grade there were several added because the country schools transferred to the big city of Sharon They were Gerald Day Dale Lively Vina Miller, Dene McLaren Garland Taylor, Bob Wall, and .Toe Walker Mrs Patricia Evans was our teacher in these two grades She said she enjoyed being with us so she followed us into high school, which we appreciated In the Seventh Grade, Mrs Owens and Kenneth Austin were our teachers No one came into our class this year In the Eighth Grade Mr and Mrs Shryock were our teachers Those who joined us were Willis Routh Kenneth West Donald Barney At last we were ready for the big day which we had so much looked forward to We were to be admitted to the grand and glorious institution of knowledge that we had heard about which was good old Sharon High School As I sit here rocking and remxnxscencmg of the past I recall the first day when the green Ball Garland Taylor, Dene McLaren, Dolores Adams, Bonnie Ball Harold Halley George Schmidt Bob Wall Dale Lively, Harold Gaston Kenneth West Willis Routh, and Donald Barney The new faces that came in were A C Thomas, Nancy Roberts, Velma Lee McDonald Ava Steele, Howard McLaren and Harlan Hinshaw We had some real teachers that year they thought we were about ready to give up Those that gave up were Mr Harris Mrs Chaffin, and Miss Rolf They said they didn t want us for another year so they passed us on to the Sophomore Class, and left us At the beginning of the Sophomore year we at least knew what room to dash into and what bell to run on During this year, Nancy Roberts moved away and Bonnie Ball got married and moved to Woodward We also had some new teachers that year Mr and Mrs Doughty and Creech The Fall of 47 we came to school and felt almost smart Mr Lawson took the place of Creech We were honored with a banquet given by the Baptist Church During the four years our officers were President, Dale Lively Secretary and Treasurer Vma Miller and the Reporters were Ava Steele and A C Thomas Our sponsors were Freshman year, Mrs Evans and Mr and Mrs Doughty were our sponsors the other three years When we came back to Sharon High for our last year, it seemed as if we had been studying all summer, we were so smart We looked forward to this year both happy and sorry that thxs was to be our last year in high school Now we approach the time when it becomes necessary to make decisions as to what to do in life However, wherever we go though in sorrow or in happiness, we will always remember our motto The Higher We Climb, The Grander The View 7 . .
