For years the annual published by Sharon High School has been called the Voicev. To us the name seemed lacking entirely in significance. It has been the earnest desire of the present staf to present not only a new and original book, but a new name as well. Therefore we give you Marsengold,'- derived from the words maroon and gold, our school colors and senior, our class year. We sincerely hope that it will meet with your approval, and that it will find a permanent place in the student life of Sharon High School. y The Staff' To Dir. Frederick G. WVard In sinccrc apprccizltioii for all he has clone for the Class of ninctc-cn lumclrcd and forty-oiic, this hook is rvspcctfully clcciicatcd. Through the yours his CVl'l'-illCl'CllSillg iliiclwstaiid- ing of seniors and their problems has won for him 21 place of affection in our hczlrts.

The Faculty It is difficult to express appreciation for our teachersg perhaps that is why openly declared praise for them is seldom heard. Nevertheless, theirs is not an entirely thankless job. During the past four years the realization has steadily grown upon us that we can never altogether express our appreciation for the efforts they have made in our behalf, the while we prepared more fully to partake of the knowledge which they have been so ready to share. Not until we became seniors did we completely realize that the store of our own wisdom can seem so slight. XVith an increasing sense of the complex nature of the world growing daily upon us it is our earnest hope that we in the future will not prove unworthy of our teachers. page five BERTHA XVEST, C111 DEDICATION ..................

KEAN rincipal's D essage XVe have reached the end of another school year, a year especially signi- ficant to you because for you as seniors it means graduation. Perhaps it would be more appropriate in this connection to use the term aCOITlIH6l1C6ITlCHtn, because it is now that you will have an opportunity for the first time to put into practice the principles and the training which you have acquired during the twelve years of your elementary and secondary courses. You are about to become active members in a world to which you may contribute definite service in ample measure. Nor will the compensation that you will receive for this service be measured always in material wealth. By far the greatest reward that can come to you is the respect of your fellow men, which you may obtain only through conscientious and diligent application to the tasks that confront you. For six years I have watched the majority of you develop into worthy school citizens. Not infrequently during that time you have trusted me with confidences concerning your future ambitions. It is my earnest hope that for you these plans may achieve fruition. To each of you I extend my personal wishes for a successful future. You carry with you the personal interest of each member of the faculty. I invite you to continue your active association with your school and its affairs. HAROLD A.

Activities: Student Government 1, Sophomore Trot 2, junior Prom 3, Salesmanship Club 3, P. T. A. Circus 3, Year Book 4, Senior Play 4, Senior Class President 4, Undergradaute Speaker 3. Melvin, our class president, is a typical politico-statesman. Speeches here, speeches there, speeches, speeches, everywhere-that's Mel! Confidentially, we never entirely sounded the true depths of Mel's well-stocked mind, for his volcanic voice and earnest expression usually sufficed to make us vote Yes . Vice-President RICHARD STONE WHITNEY Hit As like as two peas in a poclf' Activities: Basketball 2, 3, 4, Cleee Club 1, 2, Student Council 1, 2, Sophomore Trot 2, Baseball 2, 4, Traffic Squad 3, 4, Operetta 3, junior Prom 3, Orchestra 4, Vice-president 4, Senior Play Committee 4, Honor Society 3, 4, Year Book 4. Richard is the more serious of the twins. Though his charms have thoroughly bewitched the sophomore girls, Rit is chiefly famed for his financial Wizardry, in the display of which talent he worked tirelessly for the class. Secretary THOMAS LEO COFFEY Tom A gentleman to tlze manner bornf' Activities: Class Secretary 3, 4, Hi-Y Secretary 4, Student Council 1, 2, 3, Basketball 1, 2, 3, Clee Club 1. Handsome Tommy will be really missed by the office staff when school reopens in the fall. Tommy acted as an efficient errand boy and supervisor for the distribution of absentee lists. In his spare time Tom spent much of his school day participating in sports and making friends, of which he has many. Treasurer RALPH ANDREWS WHITNEY 1Vliit As like as two peas in a pod. Activities: Operetta 2, Clee Club 1, 2, Sophomore Trot 2, Or- chestra 4, Basketball 2, 3, 4, Baseball 2, 3, 4, Honor Society 3, 4, Traffic Squad 4, Librarian 4, Senior Class Treasurer 4, Senior Play Committee 4. Unlike Richard, Ralph expresses his portion of the twins, views rather freely. He combines excellence in the scholastic field with remark- able athletic prowess. Ralph, as class treasurer, has more than enhanced the XVhitney reputation for ability in manipulating finances. Student fi0Y0l'llllll!lll Representative JANE CLARK Janie I am .sure eare's an enemy to lifef, Activities: Clee Club 2, 3, 4, Student Council 3, Salesmanship Club 4, -Iiinior Prom 3, Field llockey 3, 4, P. T. A Circus 3, Cheer- leader 4, Senior Play 4, Student Covernment Secretary 4, Year Book 4, Harvest Dance 4, Class Representative 4. .lane has a delightfully cheerful personality. She enjoys herself wherex er she may be, and is fortunate in that those about her seem to absorb the entlmsiasm she radiates. Iler extensive wardrobe and dark prettiness are the envy of all of her friends. DOUGLAS GRIER ALDEN, IR. Doug A man is always better than a book. Activities: Traffic Squad 4, Senior Play 49 Year Book 4. Doug came to us this year fresh from Vermont Academy, where he cultivated an accent and a conviction which have lent spice to many class sessions. His dynamic voice, we are also informed, has plucked at the strings of many a fair maiden's heart. Doug punctuates serious reading spells with frequent perambulations with his dog, walks that often last deep into the night. ROGER MASON AMADON Rag My only books were women's looks, and follies, all they taught nie. Activities: Senior Play 4g Harvest Dance 4g junior Prom 8, Sopho- more Trot 2, Year Book 4. Roger is the senior class's proverbial lion among the ladiesng and living up to his leonine character, he has done his share of roaring, especially in class meetings, where he often constituted His Majesty's oppositionv. NVe are sure, however, that his hearty disagreement in many class proiects is born of a sincere desire to do his utmost to improve senior affairs. XVARREN XVILBUR ARMSTRONG Fuz:y', Content thyself to he obscurely goodf' Activities: Basketball 4, Glee Club' lg Sophomore Trot 2, Literary Chart 2, Baseball 4. Fuzzy is one of our baseball stars. His cheerful personality and handsome features simply overwhelm everyone he meets, and, of course, he carries his listeners away with his earnest conversation. Fuzzy also boast an infinite store of alibies for tardiness and failure to do his homework. GEORGE FRANCIS BERGSTROXI uBe1'gy', 'Ti.s good to he merry and wisef, Activities: Iunior Prom 3, Glee Club 3, George has compensated amply for the absence of his witty brother by his ever-present side remarks. Seriously though, he does things sincerely. Bergy has dabbled a little in politics, which seems to be the hobby of a great many senior boys. KATHERINE MAE BOYDEN Kay', Make two grins grow where there was only a grouch heforef, Activities: Student Council lg Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, All Around Club 1, Sophomore Trot 2, Field Hockey 3, Salesmanship Club 3g Sten-Type Club 3, junior Prom 3g Year Book 4, Cheerleader 4g Senior Play 4. Kay,s smile radiates into regions vast and unknown, her personality- far outreaching her height. She has a willing, efficient nature that has found its home in the secretarial field, and lest we forget, she doubles handsomely for a gym teacher, as an amused senior play audience will readily agree. 1 1 'Vu Qu... page eleven rt, Q Gs lv ff In elrc Q24 q i any CHARLOTTE PETRONEL BROXVN Pet The music in my lleart I bore long after it was heard no more. Activities: Clee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 4, Operetta 2, Iunior Prom 3, P. T. A. Circus 3, Senior Play 4, Year Book 4, Badminton Tournament 1, 2, 3, Ping Pong Tournament 1, 2, 3. Charlotte is such an all-around good sport that she brings out the generous qualities in others. W'ho but Charlotte would have consented to being thoroughly blacked up twice for the senior play? In the realm of the arts Charlotte reigns supreme among her class- mates, music, painting, and the dance-these are the languages of her soul. DELPHINE KATHERINE BRULE Dell,' The noblest mind the best contentment has. Activities: Student Council 1, All Around Club 1, Badminton Tournament 1, 4, Operetta 2, Sten-Type Club Treasurer 3, 4, Ping Pong 4, Senior Play 4, Clee Club 31, 2, 3, 4, Sophomore Trot 2, Junior Prom Though definitely the pensive type, Delphine is a delightful person to know. Serious and efficient in her school work, as her marks will attest, she nevertheless enjoys a quiet joke as much as the rest of us-even at her own expense. ROBERT GRAVES BUTTINCER Buff, IIC is well pajcl that is well satisjfedfi Activities: All Around Club 1, Basketball 3, 4, Librarian 4, Senior Play Committee 4, junior Prom 3, Harvest Dance 4, Traffic Squad 4, Baseball 4. To the seniors especially, Robert's bass voice has been a familiar note much used to scare the underclassmen as they hurry CPD through the corridors. Between times Butt spends his leisure moments explaining who's who in baseball. Among his colleagues Butt is a great favorite because of his genuine amiability and sincerity. DORIS CARTER Hoagy Let knowledge grow from more to more. Activities: Assistant Basketball Manager 1, 2, 3, Manager 4, Clee Club 1, 2, 3, Student Council 1, 2, Sophomore Trot 2, Junior Prom 3, Senior Play 4, P. T. A. Circus 3, Operetta 2, Ping Pong Tourna- ment 3, -1, Honor Society 4, Year Book Editor-in-chief 4. Doris's sparkling wit and sophisticated manner serve to conceal but faintly the joyous fact that this delightfully temperamental red- read is the baby of our class. Seriously, Doris's considerable in- tellectual talent made her the logical choice for the important position of editor-in-chief of the year book. ELLEN MARGARET CHBISTENSEN Ellie,' Silence is more eloquent than wordsf, Activities: junior Prom 3, Clee Club 3, Harvest Dance 4, Style Show -1. Ellen is much admired for her musical talent, for she plays the violin and piano equally well. Ellen loves to tease people and does it in a quiet friendly way. Although placid in the classroom, she is rather chatty on the tennis court. At times she displays a strong will, which is really surprising for one so docile. PETER KINCSLEY CHURCH Pete Give every man tlzine ear, but few tlzy ooicef, Activities: Sophomore Trot 2, junior Prom 3. Peter leads the scientists' lonely life, but those who have sought his advice and friendship know him to be very interesting and loads of fun. He is noted in the laboratory for his ability to concoct queer mixtures from which issue forth strange aromas. PAUL BERNARD CONDON ':Speed', More wit in liis little finger tlzun you lzace in your wlzole liodyf' Activities: Senior Play 4, Student Council 1, P. T. A. Circus 3, Vocabulary Contest 1. Paul, a gentleman of real intellectual attainment, is at home with people of wide knowledge. He wastes no time on idle social contacts, interesting himself in the more worth while things such as science. Though somewhat the introvert, his generous abilities are respected by his classmates. MILDRED FLORENCE CUNNINCHAM Bolle But innocence lzas nothing to dread. Activities: Clee Club 1, Junior Prom 3, Style Show 3, Senior Play 4, Hockey 4, Harvest Dance 4, Cheerleader 4. XVe think that those who have accepted Mildred as shy and re tiring land they are the majority of her acquaintancesi are far from understanding her true character. Babe has frequently regaled her classmates with a lightness of heart and a carefree manner that the senior members alone can truly appreciate. May she never change! VIRGINIA RITA ELDRACHEH Cinny', A girl of suelz a gentle moodfl Activities: Clee Club 1, 3, 4, Hockey 1, 2, 3, Manager 4, Sopho- more Trot 2, Junior Prom 3, Badminton Tournament 2, 3, P. T. A. Circus 3, Harvest Dance 4, Year Book 4. Virginia with her quizzical countenance always seems to be in a constant dither about the sad state of society, but somehow, in her own quiet way, she herself manages to escape every calamity. Cinny has chosen to share her friendship with few, but those she favors appreciate its worth. AGNES MARTINA FITZPATRICK Fit:yH Lone me little, looe me longf' Activities: Badminton 1, 2, 3, 4, Ping Pong Tournament 1, 2, Circus 3, Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4, Clee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Sopho- more Trot 2, Basketball 1, 2, 3, Salesmanship Club 3, Cheer Leader 4, Librarian 4, junior Prom 3, Harvest Dance 4. Clothes, coiffures, men, manners-all of these in infinite varietv are Agnes's hobbies. Her photogenic personality is remarkable for its light and airy note, which is perfectly attuned to her nature. A si Q... Jaffe tlz irteen I es 71 C5 it W? mer' lnurlI'f'u FREDERICK XVILKEY FREY Fred On witlz the dance, let joy be unconfinedf, Activities: Clee Club 1, 22, junior Prom 3, Harvest Dance 4, Senior Play 4. Freddie's agreeable nature is a joy to all those who know him. Destined, as it appears, to remain eternally young at heart, he is a confirmed nocturnal rambler. Freddie's easy-going ways were cast aside for a time in favor of a delightful, perplexed-student characteri- zation in YVhat a Lifef, BARBARA LOUISE FRIBERC Barb', A sweet attractive kind or gracef' Activities: Operetta 25 Sophomore Trot 2, Clee Club 1, 2, 3, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4g Badminton Tournament 2, 3g Hockey 3, 4g P. T. A. Circus 3g Senior Play 4, Year Book 4g Librarian 4. Barbara is one of the senior class's sweetest, most sincere members. She does have a fiery temper which is as amusing as it is surprising. Everyone has noticed that faint tinge of red in her soft hair, which probably accounts for the determination with which Barbara entered intorbasketball and the senior play. DONALD EDWARD GATELY Donn On the stage lie was natural, simple, afectingg 'twas only that when he was off lie was acting. Activities: Clee Club 1, 25 Senior Play 45 Year Book 4g Badminton Tournament 4, Speaking Contest 15 Honor Society 4. Donald certainly is an all-around boy. He does impressive amounts of reading, has a genuine talent for art, and as all who saw What A Lifei' will agree- is a clever actor. VVith his volatile tempera- ment and friendly manner he has gained many admirers. Surprising- ly, despite all this, Don is gifted with the unusual faculty of getting things done. WILLIAM IRVINC HALL Bill Your modesty is a candle to your merits. Activities: Student Council lg Baseball 1, 2, Clee Club 1, 2, Foot- ball 3g Traflic Squad 4, Senior Play Coinmittee 4. Bill is typical of his name. An ordinary boy who likes sports and sallies forth warily with witty remarks at odd moments, he is appreciated by all for the fun he affords in his own quiet way. The senior class is also grateful to him for his initiative and co- operation in class activities. MARILOUISE JONES lVee.s'a The perfection of art is to conceal art. Activities: P. T. A. Circus 33 junior Prom 3, Cheerleader Captain -lg Year Book -1, Senior Play 41 llarvest Dance 4. XXI-esa is a level-headed girl with artistic ability. She is one of the more sophisticated members of our class. Her leadership and loyalty to Sharon were clearly revealed hy the patience with which she trained thc cheerleaders, an accomplislnnent which we all ap- prcciate. ELIZABETH ROMA LANG Homie', Tall, fair, and clzarnzingf' Activities: Clee Club 2, 3, Sophomore Trot 2, Operetta 2, All Around Club 1, Junior Prom 3, Librarian 4, Senior Play Committee 4: Year Book 4, Red Cross Representative 4. Roma's deep personality is apparent in her steady philosophy of life. She solves her problems in a systematic and sensible way. Never scatter-brained, Roma is sweet and tactful and genuinely help- ful. Her year-book work is typical of everything she does. PATRICIA KATHERINE LEARY Pat She has tlze power of meelcnessf' Activities: junior Prom 3, Senior Play Committee 4, Style Show 4, Clee Club 1, 2, Year Book 4. Pat has an inexhaustible supply of cheery chatter which she dis- penses for our benefit when it is most needed. Her life-long desire has been to be divinely tall, and although physically, for her, this desire has not been fulfilled, her character in its lofty tone has more than surpassed her wish. HAROLD MARTIN LURIE BusterD A noticeable man, with large brown eyesf' Activities: Sophomore Trot 2, Baseball Manager 2, 3, junior Prom 3, Basketball 4, Senior Play 4, Year Book 4, Traffic Squad -1, Harvest Dance 4. Harold, our class photography expert, likes to go places and do things. In a crowd his happiness ie at its height. He enjoys people immensely and has participated in a wide variety of activities. His numerous companions, we understand, likewise enjoy his company. ROBERT IOSEPH Mc-LEAN, IR. nlllrlev nlvllllf slzould 0 man clo, but be merry?D Activities: Gee Club I, 2, Orchestra I, 2, 3, 4, Student Council 2, Sophomore Trot 2, P. T. A. Circus 3, Harvest Dance 4, Senior Play 4, Softball League 4, Junior Prom 3. Mac's favorite activity seems to be eating. He is never without something to add flavor fliterallyl to a dull class. His jolly dispo- sition and innocent frankness make him a great favorite, though nothing has won for him our sympathy and appreciation so much as his seeming perpetual state of confusion. XVILLIAM PARKER MOORE Billv Men of few words are tlze best men. Activities: Sophomore Trot 2, Harvest Dance 4. Bill, one of the silent senior partners, is mechanically inclined, but his genial personality is far from conforming to his talent. The in- dustrial arts department will lose a reliable worker when Bill leaves, for he has labored tirelessly over an endless variety of tasks about the school. , Ia, if I sk 6 '1- page fiftc tn fx 5 I'l'll PATRICIA MORGAN Pat,' A .sudden tlzouglzt strikes me-let us swear an eternal friendship. Activities: Basketball 1, 2, 3, 45 Field Hockey 1, 25 Assistant Manager 35 Manager 45 Glee Club 1, 2, 35 Student Government 1, 2, 35 Operetta 25 Badminton Tournament 2, 35 P. T. A. Circus 35 Tennis 35 Captain 45 Senior Play 45 Librarian 45 Sophomore Trot Chairman 25 Honor Society 45 Year Book 4. The beautifully pensive expression in Pattyis blue eyes is the finest index to her lovable nature. Truly versatile, she is equally at ease on the basketball court and on the dance floor. Her Barbara in XVhat A Life was sweetly and charmingly played, and the colors of her favorite gowns on stage-blue, of course! CLARA LOUISE NEITHOLD ClaralJelle,, 'T0 uncharted waters, undreamed slioresf' Activities: Clee Club 1, 35 Hockey 1, 2, 3, 45 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 45 Sophomore Trot 25 junior Prom 35, Senior Play Committee 45 Tennis 4. Clarabelle is decidedly the sportswoman. Her basketball ability has saved many a game for Sharon. Clara really enjoys doing things for others, which is a trait that will always make her welcome. Her engaging personality is rounded with a generous sense of humor. HAROLD LEON PAUL Heslf' IVitlz flattering words and gentle tone to woo and win some guileless maid. Activities: Clee Club I5 Stamp Club 15 Sophomore Trot 25 Intra- mural Basketball 25 Student Council 25 Honor Society 3, 45 Baseball 3, 45 Senior Play 45 Student Government 45 Traffic Squad 45 Year Book 4. XVith his undoubted intellectual powers Hesh,' can almost afford to be lazy in school. He is one of Sharon's great athletes, a star in basketball and baseball. He is also one of the school wits, as he proved with his characterization of Mr. Vechitto in the senior play. DAVID LINCOLN PRESCOTT Bee:a,' It is not safe to knowf' Activities: Orchestra 1, 2, 35 Intramural Basketball 25 P. T. A. Circus 35 Glee Club 35 junior Prom 35 'Ski Team 35 Traffic Squad 45 Basketball 45 Sophomore Trot 2. Beezais remarkable ability for sticking to his task, whatever it may be. has been extremely well illustrated this year. If you happen to see an odd light radiating his countenance, may we suggest for your information that he is simply on the verge of relating in the near future some amusing story heard in the recent past. ELEANOR LOUISE ROCKETT Rocky Voice your opinion and you will be IICUITIH Activities: Basketball I, 3, Captain 45 Hockey 1, 2, 3, 45 Student Council 25 Stcn-Type Club 35 Senior Play Committee 4. Rocky is tops in athletics. As captain of the basketball team she lm-cl thc girls to many victories. Her loyalty to Sharon High is ex- pressed by the sincere way in which she has participated in sports. Oil' the field she is quiet and unobtrusive, wtih a stately walk and air. YVILLIAKI JELLE BOOS HBH! TIC rem pink of courtesyf' Activities: Clee Club 2, Cperetta 2, Sophomore Trot 3, .lunior Prom 3, Basketball 4, Traffic Squad 4, Year Book 4, Baseball 4, Honor Society 4. Bill is for us a veritable Dr, jekyl and Mr. Hyde . Of course we don't mean that half cf his tharaater is bad or even not so very good, but that he decided y has two cl Pferent s'des. In school Bill is shy and retiring, outside he ca:-ts aside this reserve to take his place in the social chase. Infdentaliy, Bill has been outstanding in his gtudles all during high school. XIARY ALBERTA ROSE Rosie', A prodigy of learning. .!'tQvit'es: P. T. A. Circus 3, Clee Club -1, Year Book 4. Xlaryis expressive personal ty blended favorably with the general atmosphere of the school. Mary is a book worm, and can give out mo:t of what she imbibes. XV.th her enormous vocabulary and merry vit Rosie regularly entertains her friends in study periods. VERNON LLEXVELLYN SAUNDERS, JR. Slzorty,' Happy am I, from care l'm free. Activities: Crchcstra l, Sophomore Trot 2, Junior Prom 3, Senior Play 4. , Shorty with his serene view of life is a truly philosophic soul. His school week usually starts on XVednesday twhich is the day he d0esn't have Frenchj. His ready wit and dignified bearing more than compensate for his lack of inches, a fact which he certainly proved in the role of detective in the senior play. NORMA SCOTT Scotty,' 'KHer ways are ways of pleasanfness, and all her paths are hence.

Norma's striking blond hair has always appearcd to us a rather incongrous personality note, for Nomza agtaally is a lady of few words and extemely retiring nature.

Allen certainly deserves commendation for his faithful work as electrician and stage manager of the senior play. He is an extremely ccnscientfous person, a fact whizh he has demonstrated in each position he has held. Ev erybody, too, appreciates his warm, friendy manner and willingness to assist at all times.

Obviously, the silent gentlemanls record speaks for itself. KENNETH LORD STETSON ..Ken,, A l710fl1l'l',S pride, ll frztlierls joyfi .

' V ,I Kenny's gentlemanly ways have won for him the affectionate regard ' , ' of his senior claassmates. His distinct good taste in clothes is re- fvs .-QQ. marked by even the most exacting critics.

Thelma seems quiet to most of us, but she can be most entertaining in a dull study hall. She is truly generous and always glad to help her friends, as those who know can best testify. We think that the future holds much for our mystery lady.

YVesty has two entirely different personalities. One is the girl who has a lovely voice and writes poetry, the other, a live wire who loves to tease. She has an adorable sister on whom she lavishes much of her attention, this being only one of the many outlets of her kindness.

And why not? Stringing rainbow beads, drawing kittens, reading picture books, writing, adding, substracting, and singing are surely accomplishments, and rather delightful pastimes, too. Little did we realize that we were on our way, as our mothers and fathers trustingly assured each other, to becoming educated. Years passed, and, strangely, with them, the majority of us, too. September, 1937, found us at last to our great delight in the big. red brick building which represented for us a long-cherished dream abode. YVe spent the greater part of our freshman and sophomore years setting a good example for the juniors and seniors. Entering the first year there was scarcely a boy who had not forsaken short pants for long trousers, nor a girl who had not exchanged braids for curly locks. In freshman year we were divided into two groups. One was made up of students taking the college preparatory course under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Chase. Across the hall, Mr. Avery took charge of the pupils in the commercial course. That same year three new teachers came to Sha1'on High, Mr. Arthur Lord, Mr. Clarence Pedley, and Mr. Frederic XVard. Since we were studying like Trojans we had few social events, though we did sponsor a tea dance to which the junior high was invited. This was a great success, with games, dancing, and delicious refreshments. I By the time we reached our sophomore year, our enthusiasm for homework had crumpled considerably. Our one social event, the sophomore trot, although held in the afternoon, was, as were all of our social events, a brilliant success. It was worked out on a St. Patrick's Day theme, the color scheme, green, and the waitresses dressed in little tea aprons with shamrocks on them. 1Ve must not forget to mention the arrival of several new students during this year: Kendall Southern, Vernon Saunders, Harold Lurie. and jane Clark. Our return to school in 1939 was saddened by the loss of our very dear friend, Mr. Frank R. Page, who for seven years, had been the superintendent of the schools in Sharon. XVith a true sense of our own importance we swaggered into Room 12. XVe, the class of 311, had reached our eleventh year. Only one more year to endure. Miss Dorothy Chase was to be our homeroom teacher and Class Adviser, transferred from the junior high. CTO this day we still think she regrets the change.j Glamour, wit, and brains were added in generous portions to our numbers with the entrance to our group of Marilouise jones, Eddie and George Berstrom, Ellen Christensen, and Thelma Stratton. By this time the girls were all agog about that handsome, tall, blond teacher, Mr. Thomas Brosnan. How he ever happened to come to Sharon is unknown. but the girls felt that he surely must have been a gift from heaven. The boys?-well you guess. To emphasize our true importance and good intentions, class meetings were held on Fridays during activity periods. They certainly were democratic, to say the least, with every one bellowing his or her remarks, and no one dis- playing consideration for anyone else. During one of these hectic periods we selected for our class rings, the Annapolis style sample which seemed to please all the boys, and of course, that was apparently all that counted. Then came the junior prom-four weeks of Herculean labor for one thrilling night. Being, as we were, the class of 311, We decided simply to page twenty-one surpass all other classes with our prom. It was no surprise to us on May 10, 1940, therefore, that the biggest social event in the history of the class of '41 took place. All who entered the gym that night were astonished to see the gym transformed with stars, comets, planets, and a moon to a starry heaven on earth. Soft blue light played about the ball room. From the senter hung a huge silver star with smaller stars streaming from it. In front of a star- covered background the orchestra played music that delighted all. Carrying out the theme, refreshments were served from a starry booth. As the stars fell from the heavens, aided in their fall by souvenir seekers, the juniors had scored a definite social success for the class of 1941. How we dreaded to leave dear old Room 12, and our memorable fin more ways than onel junior year! Then it happened! Seniors at last, we couldnit believe our eyes, we had reached the final year of our school days, the time when all undergraduates were to look upon us with an expression of awe fwell deserved by usb on their faces, and try to follow the good example we set for them. Mr. Thomas Brosnanis place was filled by Mr. XVilliam Kean, who became Student Government Faculty Representative. Year Book Adviser, Dramatic Coach, and general handy man when it came to straightening out the' mysteries of the English language. The first real social event of the year for the seniors was the harvest dance. VVe planned and planned, but it wasnit until the last minute that we thought to the decorations. Seniors then dashed into the surrounding towns hunting for pumpkins and stalks, using, as it appears, the abeg, borrow, or stealv method. At any rate the next morning the pumpkins were returned. The gym for the harvest party looked like a corn-Held with pumpkins miracul- ously sprouting in the midst of the corn stalks. Dancing was enjoyed by all to the music of recordings, with time out for cider and doughnuts. During the latter part of November posters and bulletins were displayed by people running for class officers. Through the combined efforts of Mr. Frederick XV ard, Mr. Harold Clark, Mr. VVilliam Kean, the problems of American democracy class, representatives of the Student Government. and the town of- ficials, an election was held according to the regular forms employed by the town. Campaign speeches were made, and bewildering Hoods of oratory cir- culated throughout the school. The senior results were as follows: Melvin Leventhal. President, Richard XVhitney, Vice President, Thomas Coffey, Secre- tary, Ralph VVhitney, Treasurer, and jane Clark, Class Representative. The senior play-how could anyone ever forget itl What A Life , We are forced in all modesty to admit, was the best play ever produced by a senior class in Sharon High School. It surpassed all other productions and was definitely the crowning glory of our senior year. Bragging? XfVell, we have a right to. lor not only was the play a success, but the sale of tickets -the play was a complete sell-out - also resulted in a goodly profit for our class treasury. The eomhined efforts of Mr. XVilliam Kean, Director, and an enthusiastic senior class made our play a tremendous success both financially and artistically. Now we must close our brief resume of the affairs of the class of 1941, which, as you must surely realize hy now was the most outstanding ever to enter the portals of Sharon Iligh School. Having lived in most congenial surroundings. twelve years, we anticipated our graduation with sadness, for it page trrerlly-flux is with extreme regret that we leave dear old Sharon High and its many pleasant memories. Although we, as seniors, are leaving Sharon High School, the wise philo- sophies of our beloved faculty will ever remain with us. If some of us should aspire to become dramatic artists or even telephone operators, the words of Mr. YVilliam Kean, Learn your linesli' will ever ring in our ears. The elephants on the Ivory Salt boxes will always recall Miss Dorothy Chase, while winter seasons will bring memories of Miss Ruth Frost. If, perchance, a few of us should become professional hold-up men we would address our victims in the words of Mr. Harold Clark, Don't forget that note. Tomorrow is your last chance! ll' Of course, the very mention of chemicals will remind us of Mr. Clarence Pedley, and a whiff of germicide will bring to our minds visions of Miss Helen Crocker dashing about with the spray bottle. In our travels ab1'oad we shall recall Miss Dorris Newton as the teacher of the uuniversal language . But all joking aside, weive really enjoyed every moment with you, faculty! You've been fine sports, and we shall never forget you. And so, a fond adieu to you all. Class Favorites First Clzoice Tommy Dorsey Tommy Dorsey Swing Band .... .. Sweet Band ..... .

Having weathered a myriad of storms thus far on the infinitely mysterious ocean that is lille. they reyel in their ever-increasing power and in the con- templation of their growing wisdom, the inevitahle accompaniment of the on- rushing years. The year, Iriends, is 1956. Our scene is the crowded confusion of Sharon. that hnsy little metropolis, often referred to as the Ilollywood of Hocliamoclt Valley, now alight with golden flame.

NVhy of course! It's Mr. Voi - - - oh, I beg your pardon! It's Mr. David Prescott. Take it away D. P. Ladies and gentlemen! Before I begin my interviews and comments, just a word about this gigantic production. It's the biggest thing since Mickey Mouseu, and because its leading roles are taken by former members of this town, more specifically by the class of ,41 of Sharon High School, appropriately this king of all screen productions is having its first showing here tonight. But wait-here are our first victims, Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick, our deft baton twirler, accompanied by her able manager Miss Virginia Eldracher, both bursting, as usual, with juicy tidbits extracted from the lives of renowned Sharonites. IVhat have you been doing in the past few years, my friends? IVell, David, welve been spending most of our time in New York Cityf' YVould you tell us about your experiences in New York, Cinny?,' Cladly. One of the best shows of the current season is The Water-Wave Aquacade managed by Professor Paul Condon. A majority of Condonis Water Babies are former Sharon girls. Kay Boyden, Babe Cunningham, and Mari- louise jones are among star performers. And have you noticed the clever covers in Resort,', that sensational, new weekly devoted to the exploitation of feminine charm? They are designed by our old friend Donald Cately. You probably wouldn't recognize in its pages the brunette who models those attractive, Chinese red bathing suits. That's Doris Carterf, That,s quite a hat you have on yourself, Agnes. A New York model, I presume. Oh! Do you like it? It's an original creation by Thelma Stratton. Sheis doing very well for herself in the big city. YVhile we were driving out to Pat Leary's country place on Long Island for lunch the other day, we stopped in at Freddie Frey's gargantuan garage, and who should be installed there as chief mechanic, but Bill Moore. Oh, did you hear the sad news about Doug Alden? He was riveting the girders of a skyscraper recently, when pausing to gaze at a bit of feminine scenery, he slipped and fell, breaking his leg. He was taken to New York Central Hospital, where heis under the special supervision of Dr. Warren Armstrong who handles the most violent cases. He seems to be doing very well, let us hope that he continues to do so. I am sure he will, Cinny, but here comes the class widow. Bernice NVhite. who is having a very gay time of it. Cood evening. Bernice. NVhat have you been doing lately?,' I've been so many places and seen so many things, I simply can't recall everything. I do remember, however, the recent performance at the Metro- politan of the Barber of Sevillew, in which our own talented young coloratura soprano, Marylee Ward, made her debut. Incidentally. the Keeny and Carlo fStetson and Brownj acrobatic dance team is now co-starred at the Rainbow Boom with Bob McLean,s band of merry men featuring that popular vocalist and merriest of men, Bill Mann -- but I really must be getting on. It's been so nice! - page twenty-nine Ah, good evening, Mrs. Bergstrom. You can't fool me, Mary Rose. VVould you like to say a few words? By the way, where is George?', I feel highly honored, really, I do. George is at home, the dear, minding the twins, Ralph and Richard, you know. Cute names, aren't they? Did you know that Harold Lurie and jane Clark started on a trip around the world? They planned a lecture series, with Harold handling the photography, and jane, of course, doing the talking. But they didn't get very far, poor things. They ran into a series of genuine misfortunes, Harold went YVest, and Ianie suddenly separated for Southern climes. When I left Kenny and Janie in the South Seas, they were having a wonderful time. And you canit imagine whom I saw in South Africa? Pete Church and Bob Buttingerl Pete had several tiger skins. Heis a Princeton man, you know, so youid expect this. Butt seemed to be collecting pink elephants for the most part. I made him promise to send a few to Sharonf' Thanks a lot Mary for some choice morselsf, ' XVho is that beautiful blond? She does seem rather familiar. NVhy, itis Connie Swift! Connie, sweet, it's grand to see you. Have you seen anything of the other girls lately?,, Oh dear, yes, David! You know, or did you know that Mrs. Norma Scott Free was elected President of the Dartmouth Squaws Club. and Pat Morgan has just buried her third husband? Poor dear, she has such a trying time. She seems to worry them right into their graves. Rock tEleanor Rockettl became a gym teacher after winning several prizes in the Olympics for weight- lifting and shot-putting. She was asked to retire as a result of the vigorous protests of the competing male members of the team. Clara tNeitholdl is modeling clothes at Macyis in New York City.

Many of them, you realize, are of draft age now. Oh-and more about the girls, I understand that Ellen Christensen is a dietitian at the Virginia College for lVomen, and Roma Lang married a retiring NValpole banker and spends her time visiting sick children in hospitals and working for charity.

On the night of May ninth the juniors sponsored the annual junior Prom. traditionally considered to he the climax of the social affairs during the four year period. In preparation for this gala event. the juniors worked diligently throughout the month preceding the affair under the able direction of Bliss Dorris Newton and Nlr. Clarence Pedley in arranging the decorations for the Prom. which had as its theme an under-sea garden. All who attended had a most enjoyable time. as was evidenced by the favorable comments heard on every side. Not only was the Prom a great social success. but it proved to be a financial success as well, something that is seldom true of such events. All of this adds up to the fact that the juniors are completing a highly satisfactory year and are looking forward to an even more successful and enjoyable senior year. To the seniors themselves. the juniors bid a sincere farewell. jiugr flliffjfjfflllf 3 ' . . A il!! 1-ev- q ,.n..,V ,. ...- ,..-. -....-.. ...-- --- .. ..... .5 ,bw 3? 1 fllflflf-HIL, IH!

Of the fifteen games played they were victorious in ten. Stoughton and Mansfield were the only teams to defeat Sharon twice, while the Alumni, in a very close game, defeated our boys in their only single contest during the regular season. The mainstays of the team were Kendall Southern and the XVhitney twins, Richard and Ralph. A new member, Bill Roos, played good basketball, although he-was injured in a game early in the season.

Basketball The Sharon girls, basketball team had an interesting, if not too successful season. Although many of last yearis outstanding players had left for greener fields, Eleanor Rockett, captain in 19-11, proved that her girls were well able to stand alone. Their Coach, Miss Barbara Flemings, was unable to attend the first game of the season, played at Rockland, and unfortunately the gi1'ls discovered, the hard way, just how necessary to them she was. They more than proved their worth, however, when they played Rockland in a return game at Sharon, defeating them 25 to 8.

Senior lay After numerous tryouts. which were followed by a period of delightful suspense the cast for the senior play was chosen. Rehearsals began immedi- ately for the performance of Clifford Coldsinith's YVhat a Life . which was enthusiastically received at the High School auditorium on' the evening of Xlarch 28 by an overflow audience.

Year Book Immediately following the senior play, all seniors who wished to take part in the year book production met and discussed plans for the Sharon High annual with Mr. YVilliam Kean, the Faculty Adviser. Doris Carter was named editor-in-chief and Melvin Leventhal, advertising manager. VVith the ex- ception of these two editorships all other positions were voted on by the senior class. They included the following seniors: Kenneth Stetson, managing editor, Barbara Friberg, associate editor, Charlotte Brown, associate editor, Patricia Morgan, literary editor, Donald Cately, art editor, Mary Rose, feature editor, Ralph XVhitney, sports editor, Richard WVhitney, financial manager, Marilouise Jones, testator, Bertha XVest, prophet, Delphine Brule, historian, Roma Lang, chai1'man of individual histories, and Harold Lurie. photography chairman. After the elections and appointments were announced the staff set to work on the book, engaging the Pine Press of Dorchester for printing and the Folsom Engraving Company of Boston for engraving. XVithout the earnest co-operation of all it would have been impossible to bring to successful publi- cation the book which you now have in your hands. page tliirly-nine TOP Row-left to right: Mr. Ralph Hearn, Coach, William Roos, VValter W'hite, Philip NVhitney, Robert Buttinger, Harold Paul, john VanVaerenwyck.

Baseball The prospects for the 1941 season of the Sharon High School baseball team are very promising, for with the return of six regulars the whole school, as well as the team, looks forward to a successful season. Included among the returning regulars are Harold Paul and Harry Gaffney, two boys who form a clever keystone combination, Richard Whitney, first baseman, Ralph Whitney and Edward Berger, outfielders, and Kendall Southern. the mainstay of last year's pitching staff. This season will find, in addition to the veterans of last year's team, jackson Dutton at third base, David Bishop, catcher, and William Roos, who takes over the vacant outfield berth. Philip Whitney, sophomore pitcher, looks as if he will help the pitching staff considerably. The team has some very capable reserve strength in the persons of Walter VVhite, Lawrence McGrath, and john VanVaerenwyck. This season the schedule includes Rivers School of Brookline, Avon, North Easton, F oxboro, Canton, Norton, and XVrentham State School. page forty TOP Row-left to right: Catherine Rockett, Eleanor Rockett, Dorothy Hall, Virginia Eldracker, Patricia Morgan, Marylee Ward, Marion Scott, Shirley Scott, Miss Barbara Flemings, Coacli.

Field Hockey Despite the loss by graduation of several of our strongest players the girls' hockey team looked hopefully forward to a successful season. Once again the Ames Street playground was found to be in a condition which, while perhaps not entirely satisfactory, was playable. The goal posts were rather tempera- mental, insisting at inconvenient moments in falling down. Miss Barbara F lemings did excellent work in coaching the girls. Although Sharon won only two games, tied one, and lost three, all the contests were exciting. Contributing their share to the success of the team were the girls on the side lines, who hopped up and down continually, not only to keep warm, but to cheer their team on to victory.

Pete Seibert, XVes Robinson, and Irving Post served as mainstays for the team under Coach Carstensen. Others who have improved steadily are Roger Amadon and Herbert Turck, with Peter Bolan and Jimmie Ross showing hopeful signs of becoming excellent players in the future. The girlis tennis team once again boasted an unbeatable number one player in Norma Meister. Although Norma was Sharonis outstanding player, the rest of the team did very Well in supporting her. Chris Seibert returned with her usual good spiritg Clara Neithold, Marion Plumber, and Yvonne Letourneau also showed excellent formg Captain Pat Morgan strove valiantly to fulfill her responsibilitiesg and Sylvia Meister also did her share in supporting the team.
