Our club was organized by Mr. VanCorder for the purpose of studying and learning the good principles of safe driving. With only one member holding a learners, permit in September, now more than half are practicing their driving. Various trips were taken throughout the year to acquaint us with the practical problems of driving. We also visited one of the local automobile service stations where we were given valuable instructions by one of the workers. Have you noticed Joe lntorre with a mashie? Well, he's the Golf Club,s president, hurrying to one of our exciting meetings. The club is holding as many of its meetings as possible outside. Practicing what? Well, what we have learned in our meetings about the game of golf. Mr. Tjiattis is giving us as much background as possible as we will all be par breakers someday. Along with' our enjoyment, the club is making a strong bid to enter the WPIAL Golf League, and put Verona's name into this sport in a competitive way. Even if this fails we willknow more about the exciting and interesting game of golf T f. gs, .. x .sn ,Q - H V ,fur Golf Club OFFICERS President-Joe lntorre Vice-president-Bill McKnight Secretary-William Tarassi V Sli X .

Naturally, the object of our club is to learn to play Chess. When I joined, I didn't know anything about Chess, but under Mr. tllockwellis expert instruction, I soon became an excellent player. tjokej We held a series of matches with each member having an opportunity to play every other member in order to find out who the best player was. tlt wasnlt Il1C.,l Our club plans to increase the skill of all of us so that we may find relaxation and comfort in the King of Gamesf, It is the ambition of our club to be able to hold matches with other schools in order to see what kind of players we really are. We would all like to thank Mr. Rockwell for creating this fascinating, new club in our school. Biology Club Preparing the freshmen members for their coming yea. in the study of biology OFFICERS President-Marlene Vodvarka Vice-president-Delsie Singhose Secretary--Helen Shoop is the job our club is working on. Working diligently all year around, we have produced biology notebooks showing proof of our study into plant and animal life. Having access to the lab, we are able to preform experiments to help further our knowledge. We have also been active around the school by putting on a cookie and candy sale to earn money for future use of the club. Under the leadership of Nick DeVita, presidentg Margaret Templeton, vice-preisentg Marlene Braeudigam, secretary, along with Mr. Mcllveeifs guidance, we have had niany exciting and interesting meetings.

A-lthough cooking is our main interest, Miss Smith is teaching us how to mend clothes, fix furniture, and most important of all, act at the dinner table. We have surprised our families with biscuits, pies, and other tasty things that we have made. We find this accomplish- ment much more satisfying than just lick- ing the pans after someone else has made the mixture. if I 1 rx ---as 1: -- K Y..- N .- -,- ,, lf- Art Club Sketch pencils, charcoal paper, paints, canvas, brushes, you've guessed itg itls Art Club.
