Verna Ki.f.ckner Ironton Commercial “Verna” Vern a outstanding achievement is that she can wear her hair in an upsweep. Since she is one of the shorties in the class, and also a blonde, Verna’s locker is always crowded with admirers.

Some defense plant or office will no doubt employ our Verna after graduation. Girls' Chorus 2. Page Twenty-three
