Our junior year was a very busy one and many of us wished we could apply ourselves to our books as diligently as we had as freshmen. Prom time came and we were busy for a week cutting out flowers and dancing couples, but felt our efforts more than rewarded when we saw the gym the night of the Prom. Suddenly we were seniors and almost immediately launched upon the first of our senior projects, our fall dance, which was unique in that we played host to the junior high for two hours before the senior high crowd took over. Both groups were fascinated by the real buggy which was placed in the center of the leaf-strewn Hoor. Our play was not only successful, but was the first current Broadway play to be produced in Sharon. With the same ambitious spirit we incor- porated into our yearbook several new features of which we are justly proud. The banquet, graduation, and reception-the usual events-terminate our journey through the grades, but these particular events seem unlike any that we have known before. This year, they belong to us, they are being held in our honor, these are the moments for which we have waited so long. Because we have reached the top at last, we are glad to be out on our way in the world, yet to know that we must leave all the familiar people and places causes a feeling of regret to mingle with our gladness. We begin to realize, perhaps for the first time, the good fun that high school has offered us. Soon the class will separate, and each will go on his own way, but whatever we do-whatever we take up as a career-we shall always fondly remember Sharon High. Nancy Post Patricia Rogers Robert Noyes We Would Change The stairs to escalators. The color of Henry LeCare's hair. The bells to chimes. The seats into chaise longues. The orchestra into a swing band. Those extra blackboards to much needed mirrors. The passing mark to 50. The study hall desks to include yo-yos for the freshmen. The tardy bell to ring at 11:00. The hues of Noyseyis socks. Singy's driving tactics, so life would be safe. The water in the bubblers to coke . The textbooks to funny books. The pictures on the walls to pin-ups. Graduation month to March. page twenty-one
