Norma NVilber leaves amid I dos' and showers of confetti. Has any- one an extra No. 17 coupon? Valerie XVilliams leaves her scholastic standing and satirical comments to jane Palmer. She may not need the marks, but ..... The senior class, in totum, leaves as the smallest, yet ablest, group to depart from fair Sharon High. NVe leave Miss Newton with her fond l?j memories of the greatest class to graduate, and a one-way ticket to Florida. Happy motoring! XV e leave Miss Crocker a box of Vimms to build her up to stand the strain of future classes. We leave Miss Chase a bottle of Bromo's in anticipation of her coming trials as a senior class adviser. We leave Mr. Pedley a bright plaid zoot-suit with all the trimmings. Maybe that will get some attention from your classes now, Mr. Pedley. Wle leave Miss Holt as many happy years to be spent at Sharon High as we have enjoyed. We leave, and with us, Mr. Konsavage. WVe leave Mr. Clark wondering if forty-one seniors can kick up such a rumpus, what on earth will fifty-three do? WVe leave Mr. Poole and his Good Morning, boys and girls . VVherever will we find a substitute for that? Certainly not in the Army. They call it reveille there. To the freshmen class we do not leave the historic lollipops and chewing gum. They are rationed. We do hope, however, that in the coming years they will drop their childish ways, stop talking in chapel, and learn their irregular verbs. Bless the kiddies! To the sophomore girls we leave the junior boys. Now that the seniors are gone maybe they stand a chance. To the boys - good luck in your search for underclasswomen. To the juniors we leave our counsel and worldly experience. May they do as well with it as we have. In witness whereof, we, the class of 1943, have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seal, this twenty-first day of june, in the fateful year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-three. - CSignedD THE SENIOR CLASS OF Srmnox HIGH SCHOOL XVitnesscs: Gen.

Florence Hughes leaves her laugh, when it isn't strangled by laryngitis, to Rita MacDonald. Freda johnson leaves a stitch that she dropped to any junior interested in pick ups. james Keyes leaves his grand good nature to the faculty for use in the trouble-filled years to come. Paul King leaves his wiflle and open-necked shirts to VVilbur Morse, because when he finally extricates his hair from his eyes, he'll probably be blinded by his own ties. Douglas Knight leaves a deluxe carton of Kleenex for the juniors suf- fering from hay-fever. Helen Kulibaba leaves her spike to Mary Calla, who can now stretch to the five foot mark! Yvonne Letourneau leaves to barefooted Emmy Hassam her shoe coupons in the hope that Emmy will be able to cover her hard-laboring pedal extremities for at least a fortnight.

Foreword Never since the inauguration of the American public school systems has a graduating class confronted a more uncertain future than that which the class of '43 has fallen heir to. The immediate future will be occupied by the beckoning hand of Uncle Sam, but the immediate future is not the present concern of the forty-odd graduates. Rather it is a decade or more hence, by which time, peace and fraternity should once more be the blessing of the world. Thus it was out of curiosity alone that the highly touted, but seldom faithful, crystal ball of Genie-Genie, queen of the fortune tellers, was acquired via Lend-Lease for the special purpose of prognosticating the future in question. YVhether you are a believer in mysticism or not, it is our firm conviction that ten years hence you will find these prophecies not far from wrong. Class Prophecy The year 1953 commenced as a year of prosperity which was the continu- ation of a war time boom. But, as ever in the past in an era of prosperity corruption once more reared its ugly head. This corruption was worldwide, but the evils of it were particularly rampant in the United States. In Washington, D. C., Mr. Roosevelt the 2nd was spending his second term in the VVhite House and vigorously combating the spreading evil to earn the title of Champion of the Nations Oppressedf' Meanwhile in Massachusetts Representative james Keyes had made headlines with his exposure of '6XVater,' Muhlen's Whiskey Ring. Said Repre- sentative Keyes when interviewed by the press, lf you must toast me, drink to me only with thine eyesf, On January 30 of that year the big news, of course, was the Presidentls fathers ball. As this ball represents the Capitols biggest social event of the year, it is natural enough that all the big names in every Held of endeavor attempt to honor the occasion with their presence. The newspaper reviews of the 1953 ball mentioned the names of many new celebrities who were in attendance for the first time. Numbered among them was Herr Bailski, the famed composer and pianist, known more familiarly as George Bailey. Herr Bailski rendered his own latest compositions, 4'The Automobile Tire Serenade in A Flat. plus the Treasury's latest theme song, nlingle Iangle Iinglef, Miss Norma XVilber adhered to her motto, Silence is golden, by not partaking in the conversations. Miss XVilber is presently connected with the Acme Silent Motion Picture Corporation as the silent partner. The enormous gathering was thrilled by the entrance of New Yorkis happiest couple, Andrew Callahan and his charming spouse, the erstwhile Mary Saunders. Mrs. Callahan has. in recent years, taken over the reins of the Saunders Pharmacy in Sharon, Massa- chusetts, and has expanded it into a chain store system that now comprises more than Eve hundred Saunders Pharmacies throughout the United States. 7 W page twenty-nine
