Class History NVe, the class of 1944, after completing, more or less successfully, twelve long years of study in the Sharon schools do herewith present this document of our progress that those who follow us may know of our illustrious past and strive to equal our auspicious record. VVe remember our first days at school- our rapt attention and the thrill of having our own little band. And then of course there was the May Day dance-especially exciting as we journeyed over to the high school building all dressed up in little Brownie suits. As joshy Bradford seemed to have a special love for the first grade we left him there to enjoy another year. XVith our arrival at the second grade, although it was just around the corner, began the rapid inflation of our egos. Here beneath the trees, we launched into the construction of stone houses which the boys dearly loved to wreck. ' In the third grade we outgrew our childish games and advanced to the mature stage of hopscotch. We terminated our stay in that school in a blaze of glory by inviting our parents to an exposition at which tea was served by charming hostesscs in their best little bibs and tuckers. On entering the fourth grade we again found ourselves in a new build- ing where we played-the boys on one side, the girls on the other. VVhat misery! Here we did our hand-stands C1 a-penny, 2 a-penny, 3 a-penny, show.l Here also many of our unexcelled knitters learned the rudiments of this art while the boys started out on manual training. lVe then rested our souls in glee club. Our fifth year in school passed rapidly with no outstanding events be- yond the construction of our famed and beautiful Taj Mahal - in Ivory soapg but at our arrival upon the threshold of the sixth grade, we knew that important things would really begin to happen. Now we would be freed an hour earlier in the afternoon fof course this entailed getting up earlier, but why worry about a little thing like that when there was all that long. wonderful afternoon to look forward to.l Now we would have gym, play basketball and field hockey just as the big boys and girls did. It was also during our sixth year that we made our debut in dramatics in the form of a Christmas pageant in which Nlarjory VVescott and joe Kennedy made a very saintly Mary and joseph. For the last three days of that year we ascended with great curiosity to the 7th grade where we had our first taste of science. a truly grown-up subject. In the eighth grade, we managed somehow to struggle through our math. That year Reg and Betty appeared from out of the XVest and janet Allen skipped over from Belmont. VVe also have memories of blood-curdliug yells mixed with hezu't-breaking groans as lleg Phillips, and jerry Kersteiu went to the chair at the Big llouse -melodrama at its best.
