Ever so many plans were for the betterment of the Class. a fine group of elected: Joseph Alan Truex, Nina Palmer, Sec- the class had only two lneetings, a special meet- was c'a'H'ed for the ordering of the usual class rings. Thises the year for worriment and tha, Juniors had their share of it. Scho l Council members were elect early in the year and many stud s have seen a new light on schoo life and school spirit.

We mean Cliff. Clifford Morehouse's athletic ability, his physique and good hunting stories, will long be re- membered when the locker room gang get together. When he hasn't been telling peo- ple what to do, he took part in the following: A.A. 1, 2, 3, 49 Soccer 2, 3, 43 Basketball 49 Baseball 4. Cliff intends to be a mechani- cal engineer but will probably be a truck driver. The best advice we can offer Cliff is to Practice What You Preach . Sh! Marion is asleep as usual. Dont' wake her up, she has had a heavy week-end and is dreaming about her dream man. Miss Waterman would love very much to be a nurse and will prob- ably end up as a superior of a day nursery which job she can well handle with the experience she has had minding children. When Miss Waterman isn't read- ing love stories, she participates in: Girls' A.C. 1, 2, 3, 4, Girls' Glee Club 1, 2, 35 Concert 3. Marion is just a Sleepy Time Girl in a sleepy town. 1 William Hinrichs, the boy who gives the freshman a break, no longer is a student of Verona High. Heinie, well known for his humor- ous remarks and his continued an- noying of Miss ..........,............. , has found time for the following: A.A. 1, 2, 3, 45 Baseball 4g Glee Club lg School Play 35 Publicity Com- mittee 4. Heinie intends to be a lawyer. If this fails, he'll follow his elders which ought to be a pushover with his ability to gab. Lots of us wonder what would happen without My Old Man . Bill has his own home room. Senior Histo-ry Lo and behold! The Senior Class is leaving us this year. This was a pretty good class, the best Sen- ior class graduating in Verona this year, at least. In the beginning of the year they elected their officers. Charles Marchant was a great president! How could he help it if he had to represent all those brain waves for two years? Stanley Taub, the ever-popular, was vice-president last term. He held the illustrious position as president during the class's first and second years in their good old Alma Mater. Ger- trude St. C1ai1'e graced the posi- tion of Secretary this last year. As Freshmen, this honorable Class gave a party worthy of com- mendation. When the whole of them became Sophomores it was their duty to give another party and did they rise to the occasion? We'll say. Now of course no Jun- ior Class would be complete with- out having had its Shadows Staff and it must be said that the mem- bers of the staff of '33 did an ex- cellent piece of work. Class Night during '33 was an unusual affair- not having any knocks was quite a surprise to the school. And just last fall the class as a group contributed their last bit of socialism to the school in the form of the Hallowe'en party. Everyone had a good time then and the school congratulates the committee in charge. fWho will forget the big giraffe?J This past year, the Senior girls gave an in- formal party to welcome the Freshmen girls into their new sur- roundings and confidentially tell them what it was all about. Who was it who started that dancing idea? The Seniors, of course. An- other worthwhile idea-they do get them, you know. Seniors, you have been a good group of people. Your presence in the school has been noted well and when you are gone, we'll still think of you. Geographic Tabloid Title-High and mighty Seniors. Location-Rooms 4 and 5, upper main hall. Area-All over the school. Climate-Continued hot wind. Rugged landscape. Capitol-Room 4 and around drinking fountain in hall. Population-Too many. Q National Language-Low Sen- 1or. Government-Self Government. Ruler-Charles Marchant. Religion-As they wish. Value to World-Ask them and it's 100 per cent, ask anybody else and it's 0. Chief export-Hot air for air- ships and balloons. Chief Occupation-Loafing and Arguing. National Menace-Marion Teare. Needed A smoking room for men teach- ers. Popular singing in the assembly. A large, soft pillow for Helen Geisendofer to supply a comfort- able seat for Mr. Dimmers in his falling moments. A group of people, full grown, to become Freshmen in '34. Physi- cally as well as mentally. Tennis courts to adorn the ath- letic field for the girls' gym class. A personal hairdresser for cer- tain individual girl students. Boys may be included if preferred. Exemption from exams desired by Seniors. Why not the Juniors? A canopy from the school drive to students' entrance.

SHADOWS, June, 1934 A17 Freshman Class Although we have been here al- most a year, it seems only a short time since we first entered Verona High School. Then, we were mere- ly another class of incoming fresh- men. To the rest of the school we quite possibly presented a curious picture. However, it wasn't long before we took part in various ac- tivities of the school. We elected our president, Wil- liam Cartmill, and our secretary- treasurer, Mildred Watt. Constance Neumann, Jeanne Feltham, Ruth Conklin, Frances Sims, Janice Lance, Ruth Frank- lin, Roger Shotwell, John White, Donald Farson, Charles Youmans, Lester Mills, and Russell Graham are among those from our class who have served on Council Com- mittees-and Shelley Kaplan was a member of the newspaper staff. Maisy Pierson, David Hecht, Donald Farson, Edward Neuman, Russell Graham, and George Swenson sang lustily in the Op- eretta and Betty Russell, Peter Carpou, Russell Graham, and Wil- liam Sury played in the orchestra. Ruth Conklin, Betty Ahrentsen, and Peter Carpou through their work in the Marionette Club, have learned to make puppets walk with grace-and howl Last, but not least, we have learned to dance! During the sum- mer We expect to practice all we've learned this year so that when we return we will be skillful Sopho- mores. Do You Know That? Frank Lanning may have to have his arm treated for injuries received, by using his new method of saying hello? The Assistant Art Editor made a hit with a certain senior girl. Dolly Walters? Woe is him! Marion Teare is very disap- pointed because there was no elec- tion for the silliest senior? She felt sure she would get it. We don't disagree with her. Marion Meade and Ann are quite interested in two Sophs? Marion likes the one who plays basketball on the second team. Ann's is as- sistant business manager. Bobby Howat has given up his attempt to learn to dance? He says, -more fun to sit them out-. Walt Widmark has received an offer from Earl Carroll? Shapely legs, eh, Walt? One freshman wanted to know if a typewriter had air-brakes? Eggs is going to be an Indian? Sophomore Tld-Bits What goes on behind the scenes in Mrs. Burton's sixth period Eng- lish II class? As the class files or straggles in, all is quiet. The work of the day, however, is soon begun. After a time much interest is aroused by a query from some section of the class. Soon the largest part of the class is taking part in the dis- cussion. At last the repartee dwindles down to a few obstinate members of the class who refuse to concede to the other's point. This more than polite issue often comes to the point of serious mis- understanding when some member of the class asks just exactly what all this has to do with the lesson. Alas! Lads and lasses, this cruel reminder of business brings every- one down to earth until a similar situation is enacted. Oates: I say, Davenport, can you loan me two bits. Davenport: Impossible. I've tried to loan you money several times, but you always seem to look on it as a gift. Pastures for the Green Franie Sims has that boy Polly really running wild. Franie ought to be as popular as her sisters when she becomes 3 Senior, One thing to remember the Freshmen by is to think of Pep Ungaro. Lots of students are won- dering if he's a monitor in the main hall, or just a permanent fix- ture there. Will the Freshmen ever forget their lesson in bird whistling. The instructor forgot to imitate the best bird of all, the Cuckoo. The Freshman bad-man seems to be Tex Two-Gun Hieder. Tex dreams of becoming a two-gun cowboy lBobbie Bensonl. Get along, little Dogie. Does Doris Jacobs know that peroxide is bad for the scalp? Or perhaps that is the natural color of her hair. If it is, it must be that itls getting dark because it's dirty. Oh! Oh! Support the Budget.
