The Caerulean Virginia Collins You have greatly amused your class by your foolish acting. We know you are capable of furthering this work and becoming a comedienne, therefore, we have secured this contract from Charlie Chaplin, making you his leading lady. Kathryn Collins Has been growing steadily in grace and in wisdom. At the rate you’re going in the business world, you’ll be needing this file for your extensive corre- spondence. The Freshman Class You freshmen have not yet attained the height you desire. This traffic- tower will bring you above the rest of the classes, and you will not miss a thing that goes on. The Sophomore Class After being in the High School for two long years it is time you Sophomores stepped out. Step through this door of Knowledge and keep stepping. The Junior Class You Juniors certainly believe in talking. All your ideas, brilliant and other- wise, were discussed in loud tones in the different classrooms. This Record Book will save your over-worked vocal chords. Witness Mijereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seal this twenty- fourth day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty-six. Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the said Senior Class as, and for their last will and testament in the presence of us who at their request, in their presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as attesting witnesses to said instrument.

Sharon High School Donald Stockman Don, all through your career in High School you have been running things. You managed the basket-ball team, presided over our class meetings, and even conducted History Class when Mr. McGrath was absent. These trunks will help your future running. Elizabeth Peck Betty, you will be making your debut into opera soon. This pitch-pipe is guaranteed to put you on the right key. ' iviAN Leighton ' ivian, you are too young to go unchaperoned. If your mother cannot per- form that duty, this doll will be pleased to accompany you and act as your chaperone. Rickard Ratter Your knowledge is surprising, Dick, for one as small as you. In classes there was not a question that you would not attempt to answer, but, as we all know, everyone is not perfect. In case some day your knowledge fails you, this book of knowledge may prove useful. Ruth Hutchins This young lady aspires to be a nurse. Ruth, we know you will be successful in your chosen profession because of your quickness and patience. When you are hurrying here and there, it will be well, once in a while, to take your temperature with this thermometer; you may then be careful and you will not get overheated. Kenneth Brown Kenneth, you have driven such dangerous vehicles! If it wasn’t a motor- cycle or a collegiate flivver, it was a fiery steed. This baby carriage is harm- less. It is guaranteed not to tip. Nancy Wood Nancy, since you have come north you have greatly improved. You have shortened your dresses, curled your hair, and even vamped your teachers. You have tried the boys from Andover, Walpole, Sharon High, and now you have turned to Harvard. We are lending you this bat so that you can make hits in Virginia. Page twenty-one

Sharon High School Tbe lairds Have Come When in the hush of early evening; When the shadows play among the leafy trees, And the sunset’s myriad colors are fading From the clouds — I am sitting by my study window Lost in thought. Then a far-distant roar disturbs me — Like the distant rumble of coming battle, Like the roar of waves upon the golden sand. And I am released from my spell. The roaring now grows louder And I am able to see a black cloud Swirling in my direction like a shroud. Nearer yet and ever nearer Comes the cloud And separates itself. Now with a flutter and a loud whirring They are upon me — The birds have come. G. Wattendorf. Pa e twenty-three
