Class Documents Class History Realizing fully that we are the most unusual class that Sharon High School has produced in countless generations fwell, three or four, anywayj, we have attempted to set forth in a fitting manner the heroic facts of our history in order that the minds of our juniors, especially, shall be duly im- pressed, and that they may learn to follow in our footsteps. Listen, then children .... long ago, when the world was young, we entered upon our academic careers .... that was in September of the year 1930. School was a glorious adventure in those days-we sang and played games, had our milk and crackers, and took our afternoon naps with carefree abandon. From time to time we put on our rubbers and were marshalled into two straight lines for the walk to the high school. Here certain mysterious, oflicious creatures attempted to determine whether we were susceptible to scarlet fever, or could possibly give diphtheria to our friends and relatives. YVe looked with awe on the high school in those days .... only dimly conscious that some day we, too .... little did we know! So we progressed happily enough until our third year. Then, we really became sophisticated' Armed with the knowledge that 4 x 9 equals 36, and some interesting and highly original facts on the home life of the Eskimo, we could afford to laugh at the crop of wide-eyed infants who had appeared in the grade below us. Quite naturally, we spent the next three or four years growing in wisdom, in accordance with our stupendous intellectsg and quite naturally, too, everyone approved of us except our long-suffering teachers, by the sweat of whose brows we acquired the wherewithal to carry ourselves so admirably. C011 second thought, we guess that even they loved us a litttle.j But now we had not time for vain regrets, having arrived at last on the threshold of greatness, we entered the ninth grade. True, we had to overcome the prejudices of the juniors and seniors, who for some unknown reason still imagined that they were of importance to the school. We were an enthusiastic group that year of 1938-39, determined to make good. Our renowned dramatic club presented a short play about the middle of the year. which was very well received. Last, but not least, of our achievements were the selected scenes from julius Caesar, reminiscent of Mr. Alfred B. Lord, our English teacher. Then we became sophomores, bent earnestly upon doing our best to give nervous prostration to Mr. Clarence Pedley, our unsuspecting home room teacher. VVe were the youngest members of Miss Chase's world history class, and we soon took advantage of that situation by cleverly letting the seniors do all the work. Mr. Thomas Brosnan joined us that year, and under his able direction, we presented our program, Schools of Yesteryear. before the Parent-Teacher Association. During the year we also gave a demonstration radio program entitled Interviews with the Past, in which Shakespeare was interviewed to the enjoyment of all, and of course, our Sophomore Trot. an informal afternoon dance, was enjoyed by all who attended. Mr. lVilliam A. Kean was added to the list of why come back to school' page twenty-one
