DIMMERS, IGI-IN E. MATTIS-Advisers Shadows Grows ! K nf I 1 l 7 This publication marks the twenty-first birthday of Shad- ows. The first volume, published in 1921, was dedicated to the Board of Education. In honor of the occasion, a coming-out party has been ar- ranged by Shadows' proud par- ents. More than three hundred and fifty loyal subscribers have S signified that they will be on HADO hand to welcome Shadows and WS 1921 s to help celebrate its new state of maturity. Shadows will be stunningly attired for the party with a black and white printed froek and a maroon jacket, accented with white figures. Shadows' twenty-one years have reflected tremendous growth in the physical plant, as well as the actual school organization. Only two members of the present faculty-Mr. Wilkin and Mr. Goeltz-can recall Shadows' first birthday in 1921. The Shadows of that year were cast from the old high school on Bloomfield Avenue. Verona High School at that time housed seventy-three students, only ten of which were graduated in the Class of '21, Classical and commercial courses were taught by the ten members of the teaching staff. The activity program had not yet come into its own, although varsity baseball and basketball teams were successfully coached by Mr. Wilkin and Miss Swift. Shadows' social diary of 1921 tells of the high school ufrankfurter roast at the Newark Reservoir in Cedar Grove, the sch0ol's trip up the I-ludsonv in June, the freshman-sophomore party, the sophomore dance at Hallowe'en, a junior-senior dance, and a junior-senior progressive supper. The grown-up Shadows of 1942 shows to some extent the l progress of Verona High. Ten times as many graduates, six times as many in the student- -69' . . body, three times as many in the facultyg a complete program of clubs and functioning commit- tees, a complete calendar of so- cial eventsg eight varsity sports and a host of intramural games -this is the picture of Shadows in its twenty-first year. 40 , 42 1 SHADCWS 19 HEHE5 TU . . .

'TWAS A USHADOWYH DAY, in- deed, when our blundering herd of be- wildered Freshmen stampeded the stately portals of Verona High. Though terribly confounded, we were determined to make the best of our new situation. We began officially by electing Frank Zink our president, Parker Newell our vice presi- dent, and Elaine Bentley, secretary-treas- urer. After choosing these fine leaders, it was a natural consequence that everything we undertook was destined to be a suc- cess. The first entry made in our freshman scrapbook was the Fresh Fish Fling, our class dance. We were very well represent- ed in such extracurricular activities as music and sports. Brenda Lyons, our future opera star, and Bob Berry, our sec- ond Bing Crosby, soon became indispens- able to the Glee Clubs. Betty Beaton, our dynamic little swimming ace, distin- guished herself and the entire Freshman class by her record breaking swimming accomplishments. Another of our out- standing classmates was Fred Lynn, who helped to melt the icy stares of the upper classmen by his spectacular athletic feats on the pitcher's mound. Fred was the only Freshman to receive a varsity baseball let- CCY. SE IIIH IIIAS5 HISTUHY President, Frank Zink Vice-President, Dorothea Manchester Secretary-Treasurer, Anne Farrar IN THE FALL OF '39, we returned to the familiar corridors of our fairest alma mater, a bit more light-hearted and worldly-wise. The trials and tribulations of our terrifying freshman daze were over at last, and now we were elevated to the status of sophisticated Sophomores. At our first class meeting, we lost no time in electing Parker Newell our president, Frank Zink, vice-president, and Betty Beaton, secretary-treasurer. By this time, we knew Mr. Wilkin's perennial jokes by heart and had the wisdom to enjoy them for the umpteenth time hoping to curry favor and perhaps good marks. At this time Confucius, the ancient Chinese philosopher, was foremost in the minds of the high school jokesters, and in keeping with the times, our class dance was en- titled Confucius Say, complete with Chinese lanterns and all the trimmings. Now that we had more faith in ourselves, we became quite active in school affairs. We were greatly honored by having Dor- othea Manchester and Charles Feltham enact two of the leading roles in the an- nual Dramatic Club production, The Ghost Trainf' Anne Farrar and Betty Beaton, super-cheerleaders, made sure that the teams had the full support of the Sophomores.

What bliss to repay the scorn that was felt by us as be- wildered Freshmen and struggling Sopho- mores. We are proud of our illustrious Class of '43. The officers of the class were elected shortly before the close of school in June, 1941. The honored recipients of the of- fices were: President, Robert Fielding, vice president, Janet Dryden, and sec- retary-treasurerg Ruth Stahlschmidt. Among other things, the Juniors have been especially active in the field of sports this year. Tom Brighton ably filled the captaincy of our soccer team. Supporting him on the team were Charles Breiner, Ray Kandel, Art Guancione, and Sonny DeVito. The football team was fortunate in having Bob Fielding, our class presi- dent, Bill Morrison, Bob Nelson, Harry Dougherty, Tom Morley, and Sonny Vitale to provide a good part of the thrills and chills of the season. Edward Mech, Buddy Miller and Sonny Vitale contributed to the success of the basket- ball team. We were well represented in baseball by Harry Dougherty, captain of the team, Ray Kandel, Tom Brighton, Tom Morley, and Ray Farley. Bill Mor- rison, Gilbert Yeskel, and Wyman Con- nor were our stars on the track team. Several members of the class have tak- en part in and contributed greatly to the band and orchestra. Wyman Connor, trombonist, represented V.H.S. in the all- state band and orchestra. Gilbert Yeskel, Miriam Colvin, Katherine Cederroth, Sonny De Vito, and Janet Dryden were other members of the school orchestra and band. Wyman Connor and Janet Dryden brought glory to their Alma Mater by be- ing invited to appear on a radio quiz pro- gram. It was a lot of fun, they said. Our literary star was Miriam Colvin, assistant-editor of Shadows and secre- tary of the White Hornet. In photo- graphy Gilbert Yeskel won second prize in a contest sponsored by Bamberger's. Talent was shown by Thelma Burris also, who gave a snappy sketch and tap-dance during the annual V.H.S. amateur assem- bly hour. To round off an active and happy year, the traditional prom,' in Iune, shortly before graduation, was presented by the Juniors. The dance was given in honor of the graduating Seniors. With the strains of the orchestra still in their ears, the Juniors depart for the summer months satisfied that they have made some significant contributions to the life of their Alma Mater. 027 Al!!

The first job of the Sophomores was the election of officers. The success- ful candidates were: Mary Grace Teti, president, Glenn Knowles, vice president, and Joyce Mills, secretary-treasurer. These officers were elected in June of 1941. At the second class meeting, after much discussion, the date of October thirty-first was finally decided upon for the class dance. Rose Marie Timken was appointed head of the dance committee, which in- cluded the decorating, advertising, and poster groups. Because of the hard work of all the Sophomores, the Witches' Waltz proved to be a success. Pepping up the morale of the sports' stars was the all-sophomore squad of cheer-leaders. During football season, they were one group, but in basketball season, the girls were divided into two squads of five each. Muffie', Shaw was in charge of one squad consisting of Peg Herter, Shirley Fischer, Kitty Rowley, and Mary Grace Tetig while Joyce Mills, Phyliss Gerard, Mary Ellen Tompson, and Jacqueline Dempsey were headed by Nor- ma Smith. Helping them with this job was Doris Lelong, who helped keep the school keyed-up at the football games by leading the drum-majorettes. Turning to the realm of sports, the Sophomores were well represented on the football team by Alex Schreiber, Willis Cutler, Jack Howat, and Bob Lazar. Fred Ingold, Johnny Farrar, and Allen Tucci upheld the honor of the Class in soccer, and Fred Ingold also starred on the varsity basketball and baseball team. Last, but not least, there are the promising track stars: Glenn Knowles, Willis Cutler, Alex Schreiber, Ted Warner, Bob Howard, Bob Hayes, and Chuck Bentley. Leaving athletics, we see that the band and orchestra was composed of many Sophomores. Besides taking part in the band and orchestra, several members took their place in a string quartet, and there was even a swing band composed of the Class of '44. This swing band played in an amateur hour in assembly, during which another talented Sophomore, Marie Pop- polardo, sang This Love of Mine and scored quite a hit by singing A Shanty in Old Shanty Town. The Class of '44 has also taken part in other assembly programs. Muriel Gross- man, Clarence Thyren, and Doris Booker were in one of the one-act plays put on by the Dramatic Club, Peg Herter and Kitty Rowley were cast in Buddy An- swers an Ad. Another achievement in the dramatic Held was Jimmy Courter's role as Jimmy in the school play. Now-as you can see after this brief summary, the Sophomore class has done pretty well for itself. Even better days are coming. 031 cjfliiniha- xX 'L5 O X' , Y-var.

Introducing The Freshmen It all began on September 3, 1941, when a group of slightly bewildered young people wandered into the corri- dors of Verona High School. They were a group of confused students, who were invariably late for every class, usually re- porting to, the wrong room, and always asking the wrong question at the wrong time. Considering all this, it is rather easy to realize that they were the Class of 45. After a few weeks, the Hrst meeting of this promising class was held. It was at this time that Sven Peterson was elected to be the illustrious president, lack Cougan, the ready vice-president, and last but not least, Barbara Sniffin as the industrious secretary-treasurer. Late in February, a second class meet- ing was held. At this meeting, plans were made for a class dance. David Wilson was elected head of the decorating committee. The class decided on the name of Jump- in Jivef' After much planning by Mary Marfield, Nan Fifoot, Bill Bruckmann, George Burnett, and Ailsa Smith, the dance was staged in the school gym, April 7. Decorations were in green, white and yellow. It was a record dance in every way. The Freshman Class was well represent- ed in the sports of Verona High. Members of the soccer team were Sven Peterson, George Penndorf, James Harris, Leonard Tucci, and David Bamford, who scored a sensational goal for the soccer team against Spring Valley. Jack Cougan and Richard Gartley proved themselves worthy of their berths on the varsity football team. Cougan did a noble job as a blocking-back. Bill Bruckman, Bob Beaton, Frank Cebello, Bob Fox, David Wilson, and Erle Horton were other members of the squad. Besides football, Bill shows promise of being one of our tennis champions. Frank Cebello, David Bamford, and Bob Fox also are on the baseball team. All are pitchers. Richard Gartley has been doing some outstanding work in track as a hurdler. Sven Peterson is pole-vaulting this year and is expected to do V.H.S. honors in the future. Other members of the track team are John Nichols, Earle Courter, Jack Cougan, Joe Morley, and David Wilson. John Dean was the manager of the team. George Bremser has shown himself to be another Einstein, He has excelled both in classes and out of them. The class was very proud of George's progress as a radio quiz-kid. The Freshman Class has cut its seal into Verona High life in a truly impressive manner. The future - well, with this bright beginning no one needs to fear the inability of the 45 'ers to carry the torch of our school and carry it high. 035 7 ., M ,1- ' Q .l ' 1441 tag:-aplw by Uv m if 1 J fy' V Y -X!! fiffvgsju It f xkf Adair, Jean Addis, Jack Ahrendtsen, Mary C.

Charles Feltham was this year's very capable editor who carried on despite the many changes in plans. Miriam Colvin was assistant editor and as such contributed much to the literary efforts and year-book organ- ization. Ruth Stahlschmidt held the job of literary editor, and the sports section was edited by Steve Bonta. The literary staff, who were re- sponsible for the writing in the book, consisted of Bruso, M. Finkle, M. Feistel, B. Mansfield, J. Dryden, P. Wall, Feistel, D. Smithers, C. Mol- 5H!lllIfIWS inari, D. Longley, G. Griffin, and W. Connor. Jean Newsom, circulation mana- ger, and her staff had the thankless task of collecting Shadows' payments and increasing the subscription rate. Members of the circulation staff were: Harbecke, M. Kautzmann, E. Corwin, B. Adams, McBratney, I. Dryden, C. Dodd, D. Corwin, C. Smith, M. E. Schneidewind, P. Cour- ter, M. Bedford, G. Teti, and D. Reuter. In charge of all business matters and Hnancial affairs was Charles Gul- la, assisted by George Bremser. Parker Newell and Shirley Fischer, co-advertising managers, and the ad- vertising staff CJ. Carlson, B. Leh- man, G. Cullen, D. Manchester, K. Rowley, and C. Thyrenj had the tedious job of soliciting ads from near-by merchants.

Mr. Butterworth en- thusiastically directed the group's activities. Eagerly awaited by the older members of the club was the initiation party, the first big social event of the year. Dick Schoof, as master of ceremonies, helped Carol Dodd clean a chicken, poured water down Bob Farson's gym suit, and coached several love scenes. All in all, the party proved very entertaining. Archie Comes Home. a one-act play, was greeted enthusiastically in assembly. Heading its cast was Arthur Smith, as Archie. Supporting him were Muriel Gross- man, Doris Booker, Paul Kreuder, and Clar- ence Thyren. Buddy Answers An Ad was a clever one-act play, excellently directed by Miss Clarinda Kier, and presented April 29 to the students. The cast included Eddie Rogers as Buddy, Phyllis Abrell, Robert Farson, Katherine Rowley, Margaret Herter, Edwin Pfeiffer, and Catherine Molinari. The school play, a yearly event in V.H.S., was one of mystery and unusual originality. A Murder Has Been Arrangedf' written by Emlyn Williams, was presented by a capable cast, headed once again by Arthur Smith, this time as Maurice Mullins, a crooked murderer. Gladys Griffin enacted the role of the cockney, Mrs. Wragg. Elaine Bentley portrayed Beatrice, wife of the murdered man. Carol Dodd was her mother, a boisterous and ill-bred character. Sir Charles Jasper, the murdered man, was played by Richard Schoofg Jimmy Courter acted the nonchalant reporter, James North, and Dot Longley was the mysterious woman. It was agreed by all that this was one of the dramatic players' finest produc- tions. las Fur Those That Never Sing! Have you noticed the drastic change in the program for the Girls' Glee Club this year? Instead of one club meeting twice a week, as in the past, there are now two smaller clubs, each meeting once a week. The First Glee Club includes only those girls who can really read music well, and the Second consists only of those who want to sing, but who do not necessarily have any particular musical knowledge. The officers of the First Glee Club are: Joan Harbecke, Presidentg Carol Dodd, Secretary, Helen Stenstrom and Muriel Grossman, Librarians. The Second Glee Club has two librarians-Marjorie Nelson and Hannelore Weise. Miss Lewis is in charge of both clubs. 480 A ., .., . No operetta or concert was given this year-not because there wasn,t enough interest or talent, but because so many of the boys participate in sports and wouldn't have time to spend the great number of hours needed to produce a program. The boys have one glee club, which they enjoy to the utmost. Their pleasure is partly due to the jovial character of Mr. Schill, who provides many a pleasant afternoon for the fellows. Verona High is proud of the interest shown by the students in its musical organizations. ml The Band Pla eil Un Remember the rousing music of martial air that floated over the football field last fall? That was our band! ln addition to spurring on the football team and thrill- ing the fans, the band also played for sev- eral community gatherings and took part in the big West Essex Civilian Defense Rally last fall. The orchestra gave an instrumental concert in May, which was enthusiastical- ly received. Steve Bonta, our super cellist, played in the All State Orchestra and Wyman Connor performed splendidly on the trombone at the spring try-out for this year's All State Band. The String Quartette, composed of Doris Ann Hall, first violin, Donald Paulsen, second violin, Janet Dryden, viola, and Steve Bonta, cello, exhibited its skill at the State Com- petition in April. Great strides have been made in the music department under Mr. Schill. For the first time in its history, the music de- partment, with Mr. Sampsonls help, has arranged a schedule for section rehearsals. Band and orchestra members were as- signed to one of the following groups: A-trumpets and cornets, B-strings, C-clarinets and saxophones, D-trom- bones, horns, and drums, F-String Quar- tette. Each group met in a different period Monday mornings. The schedule was ar- ranged, so that the groups moved ahead one period each week. Every fifth week the group met after school, and the sixth week they had no rehearsal. Beginning the seventh week, the schedule started rotat- ing again. These section rehearsals have been of great value in improving our band and orchestra. Frank Zink was elected president of the Band and Orchestra last fall. 049 La France Libre 5 Jamais The International Students Society had a membership of about sixty. The officers, who were elected at the final meeting of last year, were: Ruth Feltham, president, Carol Dodd, vice president, Joan McBrat- ney, treasurer, Dorothy Smithers, secre- tary, and Eleanor Corwin, corresponding secretary. Ruth Stahlschmidt served as re- freshment committee chairman. Meetings were held once a month in the cafeteria, where programs of interest were presented. A typical monthly meeting might consist of French songs, a play or puppet show, some French games, and refreshments. Each year at Christmas, a special meeting is held. At this meeting the members exchange presents and cards with each other. There is also a typical French Christmas ceremony observed each year. This year it was carried out by some of the girls dressed in French cos- tumes. Aside from the usual contribution for refreshments, another collection was taken just before Christmas for two little English refugees. Quite a large sum of money was collected for these girls. Witli the money, some of the I.S.S. members bought toys and sweaters. Besides helping their little English friends, the club mem- bers have also been sending some money to unoccupied France to help a little boy there. l 500 Uf, B , I-ind Fur - - - The Students The School Council acts as the student body's legislature, making permanent and current laws, and revising others. It con- sists of one representative from each home- room, one member from any club with thirty or more members, plus three officers. This year, under the leadership of Parker Newell, the president: Bill Morrison, the vice presidentg Dot Longley, the secretaryg and Miss Howell, the faculty adviserg the Council accomplished a great deal. The most important problem undertaken by the Council was the attempt to maintain a 2:30 dismissal. Much thought and discus- sion took place at the weekly meetings. After ideas concerning this plan were re- ceived from the student body through an open meeting, the Council, with the help of a senior English class, presented a plan for the 2:30 dismissal to Mr. Sampson. He, in tLll'l1, presented it to the Board of Education. This plan was accepted and went into effect on Monday, January 26. The Council also succeeded in having student-controlled study l1glllS. One of the important events of the year was the Victory Dance, presented by the Council the day after the Verona-Caldwell football game. Parker Newell and Dorothy Longley rep- resented Verona at a meeting of the Subur- ban Conference of School Councils. Dorothy also attended meetings every few weeks with representatives from the suburban confer- ence schools, which was for the purpose of exchanging ideas. Joe Shaw attended a con- ference at Princeton in behalf of our school. 5 I I , 1 5 s 5 s I .5 1 1 I 9 I g z 1 ' , 051 N N Xxx! K 4 rw fx! xx K Z4-3 v-f X., Ls 7 1 T Q' X' Tnwn Meeting Tnniqhl! Look what a trip to Millburn started! After a few hours in a Millburn audi- torium, several forum-minded Verona High School students were aroused to the possibilities of having their own Forum Club. Organization proved to be a diffi- cult problem requiring an advisory visit to Verona by three of Millburn's Forum Club officers. Finally, using this helpful first - hand information, arrangements were completed and the following four officers emerged: president, Fred Brook- wellg vice president, Wyman Connor, secretary, Jacqueline Dempsey, and treas- urer, Maurice Ready. The first meetings drew large crowds of interested students. With this attend- ance as encouragement, the members, un- der Miss Howell's supervision, began to plan future discussions. The general topic chosen was the Pan-American Good Neighbor Policy. At subsequent meet- ings, members of the club and outsiders discussed various phases of the topic. The culmination of the Club's hopes may be realized next year through planned forum assemblies, operating much like radio's famed Town Meeting of the Air. Students active in the movement are: D. Manchester, E. Bentley, Fiestel, B. Mansfield, M. Coon, G. Cullen, R. Far- son, M. E. Thompson, M. Marfield, A. Jacob, N. Fifoot, K. Butts, W. Dix, A. Farrar, R. Cestone, Dryden, C. Felt- ham, D. Longley, S. Hammes, McBrat- ney, M. Silver, Gittleman, V. Blaes, Harbecke, Mewsom, C. Dodd, G. Grif- fin, Carlson, B. Adams, Dempsey, P. Courter, V. Priest, H. Nordeen, N. Wein- er, R. Chestnut, Farley, A. Farrar, S. Browning, and M. Schneidewind. 520 I.et's Face The Music and Dance Why thank you so much. I'd adore to. Why I think it's more of a waltz, really. Isn't it? Don't you just love Harry James music? Goodman? Well, y e s. This was the kind of patter one heard each Thursday in the cafeteria when sixty Dance Club members congregated to learn the latest steps and instruct the more awkward in the ways of the grace- ful art. Donald Easton presided over this group, while Shirley Fischer served as vice presi- dent and Betty Cavalero as secretary- treasurer. Although the Dance Club was organ- ized three years ago to provide opportun- ity for social training, the present group with its sixty members stood as a high- light of our school's activity program. Much of the credit belongs to Miss Ruth Root, adviser, for her efiicient organiza- tion. The students in the club were very fortunate in having Lilyan Singman, a professional teacher, come to their meet- ings every two weeks to teach them the latest steps. The members paid five cents every week to meet this expense. With Miss Singman's valuable instruction the students learned to waltz, Rumba, La Conga, and dance the Polish Polka. The club was divided into six groups. Each group had a captain who made sure the members knew the steps and changed partners. The following people were cap- tains: Shirley Fischer, Joyce Mills, Mary Grace Teti, Norma Smith, Bernice Sol- eau, and Evelyn Henderson. 053 JUNIOR RED CROSS No slackers were the members of the Junior Red Cross in the Volunteer for Victoryn drive. Under Miss Cook's guidance, the following girls offered their services: B. Bender, E. Ben- ecke, I. Lamb, H. Marriott, S. Whealdon, H. Stenstrom, and President R. Feltham. The girls spent many hours in sewing, knit- ting, and hemming unlimited garments for the benefit of soldiers and refugees. Another worthy project of this group was the organization of the special Red Cross Drive, in which the students of the school contributed the tidy sum of forty dollars. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE This year the Assembly committee, under Joan McBratney, has attempted to plan for worthwhile and entertaining assembly pro- grams each week. Programs were taken from various fields-movies, sports, and vocations- as well as from the fine arts of art and music. Several programs were staged by the Dramatic Club and various classes. In March, an ama- teur show was held. Mr. Schill was in charge of this performance. The favorable reaction of the student body toward assembly presenta- tions is an accurate indication of the Com- mittee's success. CA FETERIA PATROL During the last two years one of our active service groups has been the Cafeteria Patrol. Operating at five assigned posts, the Patrol members have encouraged proper order and honesty in the lunch lineg they have prevented confusion at service tables and disposal win- dow, they have given courteous seating assist- ance to students in the cafeteria. The two divisions of the Patrol serving alternate weeks consist of: J. Carlson, R. Cestone, D. Man- chester, J. Newsom, M. Silver, A. Johnson, Adviserg G. Congdon, M. Daly, B. Lehman, D. Smithers, S. Whealdon. 540 SOCIAL COMMITTEE Each year the Social Committee endeavors to help make the dances and parties of Verona High School a huge success. Witli the willing guidance and help of Miss Root, it has certainly lived up to the standards of other years. After a late start, the Social Committee began to work with the greatest efficiency. Jean New- som, who was chairman, has worked very hard and under her direction some excellent results have been obtained. LOST AND FOUND COMMITTEE It is the duty of this committee each year to try to find the owners of the many articles that are lost in the locker rooms, homerooms, halls, and on the grounds. Lost articles are turned over to the members of the Lost and Found Committee, and they in turn take them to room 27 where they are carefully stored. Miss Cheney helpfully supervised the work of this committee. HALL PATROL This new traffic group was first organized in March, 1942. Members of the Hall Patrol are primarily concerned with keeping our five large building corridors free of loitering stu- dents before 8:25 in the morning and after 2:30 in the afternoon. The student personnel filling the seven traffic posts includes: Addis, J. Cougan, B. Cullen, P. Kreuder, B. Neblo, E. Rogers, H. Swartzg A. Johnson, Adviser. FINANCE COMMITTEE Collecting money sounds like a soft job, doesn't it? Well, that's what the Finance Com- mittee does. One member is present at every function, social or otherwise, in which money is involved. This year there was the added attraction of federal taxes and inspection to worry about. However, Donald Easton, the chairman, and Mrs. Prince, the faculty adviser were equal to the task. Other members of the Finance Committee were: C. Gulla, M. Hender- son, T. Caputo, Struble, R. Hathaway, and P. Newell. TRAFFIC PATROL Since the fall of 1932, this service organiza- tion has fulfilled definite responsibilities in our building. Members of the Patrol have guided student trafhc during the passing of classes, they have directed student movements to and from Assemblyg they have very efficiently supervised our regular fire drills. Traffic per- sonnel this year includes: Harbeclce, B. Cav- alero, Co-chairmen, J. Dryden, S. Fredericks, R. Balne, M. Hoehheiser, R. Kandel, M. Loibis- sio, J. McBratney, G. Penndorf, H. Stenstrom, G. Teti, D. Wachrel, P. Wall, T. Wands, A. Johnson, Adviser. 055 GROUNDS PATROL A new-comer in the way of committees has been added to Verona High School during these last few months. Under the leadership of Fred Palladino the members of the committee pa- trolled the school grounds daily and were always on the lookout for after dinner smokers, wan- derers, and grass-tramplers. Those chosen to serve on the committee were: N. Smith, Daily, Mills, M. G. Teti, Peterson, and Howat. Although in existence only a very short time, this group has done a great deal to improve the appearance of the grounds. LOCKER ROOM PATROL The Locker Room Patrols are newly organ- ized groups started by the Student Council. The girls, locker room is under the supervision of Gladys Griffin while Clarence Thyren heads the boys'. The patrol was formed because of the lack of order in the locker rooms. There are two people stationed in each locker room every period to check on those entering the room and to maintain order. The locker room conditions have been greatly improved since the installation of the patrol. THE STUDENT COURT One of the most progressive moves toward the assumption of student responsibility was realized this year through the Council's forma- tion of a Student Court. The Student Court first functioned last April 16, under the able leadership of Clar- ence Thyren. Earl Rast, Joyce Mills, Ailsa Smith, and Ruth Stahlsehmidt were appointed members of the newly-formed committee, with Frank Zink and Norman Wiener as alternate judges, Elaine Bentley as court secretaryg and Glenn Knowles and Sven Peterson acting as Sergeants-at-Arms. Many difficult problems must be met and many sacrifices made before this Committee can attain its maximum usefulness. 560 STUDY HALL COMMITTEE Attention please, Mr. Hitler! Gestapo tactics are finding little favor in the study halls of Verona High these days. Maybe it's our aversion to storm-troopers. Wotiltl it surprise you to know that in our Schule,', capable student leaders assumed con- trol of discipline during periods of study? Yes, our student government chose Dorothy Long- ley, -Ioan McBratney, Gladys Griflin, Charles Gulla, Jean Newsom, Parker Newell and Ailsa Smith as proctors. The courteous quaiities shown by this group of people was rewarded by splendid cooperation from the students. Shadows presents Camera Highlights in the world of SPUHT5 !W 5- J Q, .Q. x.,.

The Maroon and White achieved its first league vic- tory in a game more devastating than the 9-3 margin would indicate. Millburn was the un- happy victim. The debit side of the ledger showed losses to Summit 0-13, Glen Ridge 0-23, Madison 0-19, Harrison 7-20, and Caldwell 0-7. However, every one of these teams found the Hornets a mighty tough eleven. The Verona gridders had an easy day against Wharton High at Dover, winning by a 32-0 score. The team was honored this year by having Fred Palladino selected as a member of the All-Suburban Conference first team. Schreiber, Morley, Zingg, and Morrison received honor- able mention. Captain Jim Zingg was also SUIIIIEH We may not have repeated our feat of last year as North Jersey Group II soccer champs, but the 1941 boys go down in my record book as a group of fellows showing as much Hght and getting as much enjoyment out of the game as any team I have ever coached. This was Doc Goeltz's impression of this year's soccer squad. Perhaps the most satisfying win of the sea- son was the S-0 victory over Spring Valley, New York. This marked Spring Valley's first defeat of the year. Two other victories were achieved by the Veronians over Kearny and Summit. f .---, WW--wr,-.WW-5 --f--5.-A..-.,,.

The most colorful game of the year was the annual Turkey-Day clash with Caldwell on the latter's new gridiron before a crowd of ap- proximately 3,000 enthusiastic fans. The Ma- roon and White lost a heart-breaking 7-0 deci- sion to their traditional rivals, after threatening three times in the first half of the game with- in the very shadows of the goal line. Boys receiving letters were: T. Morley, H. Dougherty, R. Fielding, A. Schreiber, W. Cut- ler, R. Lazar, R. Nelson, J. Vitale, F. Palladino, W. Morrison, J. Cougan, J. Rodgers, N. Wiener, E. Smoot, L. Van Brunt, R. Black, G. Klip- pel, J. Zingg, and F. Zink. The last seven will be lost through graduation. Individual honors went to Tom Brighton, captain of the team and All-State center half, and Parker Newell, All-State second team een- ter-forward. Among the letter-men were Tom Brighton, Parker Newell, Sonny De Vito, Bob Max- well, Allan Tucci, Elwood Fox, Fred Ingold, Johnny Farrar, Charles Breiner, Charles Felt- ham, Ray Kandel, Carl Eklund, Joe Fear, Jack Penndorf, Maurice Henderson, and Wesley Smithers, manager. Next year's team will lose only four veter- ans: Carl Eklund, Parker Newell, Charles Feltham, and Maurice Henderson. 061 Idl lu I'l4lLI1l2 IxI.lI1.lgk'l' I. Mn1rIcy, II. V1l.lIu, 5.PCIL'FWIUl1, I'.

A joyous shout from the Verona cheering section echoed throughout the gym. The shot announced the end of the Mill- burn game. It was a tired but jubilant Verona team that retired to the locker-rooms having! defeated the Millburn squad 21-18. Our var- sity quintet for that game consisted mostly of inexperienced players since several of the regu- lars had disqualified themselves. Despite this loss, the Verona passers, showing a magnificent determination to win and a clean, fighting spirit, came through and won their only con- ference victory of the season. Conference games were dropped to Glenl Ridge 19-43, Millburn 20-35, Summit 20-30, BASEBALL Play ball! shouted the umpire, announcing Verona's opener with Bloomfield High-and play ball the Hornets did, for they sent the former Greater Newark Champs down to the tune of 3-1. The gods of the diamond frowned, however, on championship ambitions, as the nine dropped successive league games to Glen Ridge 16-3, Millburn 9-6, Madison 4-1, and Summit 3-1. Faces familiar in the game line-ups were those of Harry Dougherty, catcher, Bob Black, Tom Brighton, and johnny Farrar, pitchers, Ray Kandel, first base, Fred Palladino, short stopg Fred Ingold, second base, Ellie Fox, third baseg Tom Morley, Bob Maxwell, and Jimmy Zingg, outfielders. Bill Powers, Bob Fox, Frank Cabello, George Madison 20-31, Caldwell 24-31, Glen Ridge 31-36, Madison 18-36, Summit 20-37, Caldwell 23-30. The members of the varsity squad were Ed Mech, Ed Meehan, and Fred Ingold, forwards, Bob Black, centerg Captain Jimmy Zingg and Sonny Vitale, guards. Captain Jimmy Zingg headed the varsity scoring. In spite of the fact that the team had more than its share of bad breaks and suffered many defeats, everyone agreed with Coach Doc Goeltz as he said, All the new players did Very well. There were none left over from last year. Penndorf, Ray Farley, Wes Smith, and Andy Mau proved themselves worthy replacements. Individual honors went to Harry Dougherty, the hard working captain and catcher. Elwood Fox, Fred Palladino, and Ray Kandel were fairly effective with the bat while Fred Ingold and Bob Black gave dependable support in the field. As the team neared the end of its first meet- ings with league opponents, Coach Doc Goeltz had this to say, If the team can spruce up its hitting, they will be able to win many of the second-round games. Johnny Farrar's fine and steady pitching should help consider- ably. As if fulfilling a soothsayer's prophecy, the team proceeded impressively to trounce Glen-Ridge 4-1 and Caldwell 10-S to begin its second-round campaign for victory. 063 4 Vxb.-M- lgux-'STL .xx . .iw f' iff, K kvf, F MM!

The cindermen pointed toward winning the conference championship on May 23. The credit for these triumphs is due to no one man in particular, but to all the boys. Captain Art jacob has been an important fac- tor in Verona's victories, as have Glenn, Knowles, Bob Harris, Bill Wolff, Norman Wiener, Bill Morrison, Alex Schreiber, Ray Sheehan, Dick Abramson, and Bob Nelson. The GULF Thirty wins in thirty starts-that's the way we do it at Verona. So boasts the golf team. Ask Frank Bedford, Parker Newell, Terry Dean, or Charlie Gulla. Who are they? Why they are the four linksters who, sparked by their exacting southpaw coach, Elmer Williams, have amassed such an impressive record. These mainstays, backed by the formidable Fred Brookwell and Tony Caputo, achieved an average score of 76 in competition with Madi- son. The scores of the first four matches of the season were: Verona 11, Bloomfield 1, Verona squad was fortunate in having Norman Wiener win the Group III shot-put championship at the Newark Invitation Meet. Art Jacob and Bob Harris also placed at this meet. Norman Wiener holds the school record for the shot- put, Bill Morrison has the low hurdles record, and Bob Harris the high hurdles record. The team started off with a bang, defeating Mountain Lakes to the tune of 79M to 29M and followed this up with a 57M to 32M victory over Caldwell. Next in line for defeat was Madison, who was downed 79M to 39M. 18, Madison 0g Verona 17, Caldwell lg Verona 15, Summit 3. Co-captains Frank Bedford and Parker Newell played the best golf, with Parker shooting an excellent 73. Terry Dean, too, played a fine game, having had two eagles to his credit. Paul Livelli did an efficient job as manager of the team. Looking into the future, it is regrettable to note that only one of this championship team, Terry Dean, will be playing for Verona next year. Coach Williams, however, may be de- pended upon to let no grass grow beneath the structure of a new team of stars. 065 I3IHL'5 A. A. 660 For the more athletic-minded girls who enjoy extracurricular sports, the Girls' Athletic Association was again organized this year, meeting every Monday and Thursday afternoons. The officers elected in the beginning of the year were: Joan Harbecke, presidentg Dorothy Henderson, vice president, Joan McBratney, secretary, and Dorothy Smithers, treasurer. The individual sports managers appointed were: Marjorie Silver, baseball, Maud Gibson, basketball, Sue Johnson, hockey, Betty Lehman, tennis, Barbara Cullen, ping pong, and Doris Booker, archery. Mrs. Aline Van Houten proved invaluable in advising the girls in their business affairs and coaching the finer skills of the sports. The games with Caldwell were always much anticipated. This year the girls tied their neighboring rivals in hockey with a 0-0 score, but were defeated in basketball and tennis. The climax of the year's activities was the Sadie Hawkins' Day Dance, given on March 20, and sponsored by the club. With the aid of a Date Bureau and much publicity urging every gal to bring her L'il Abner alongf, a record attendance was achieved. Ten dollars of the proceeds were donated to the Red Cross. Unfortunately, all of the officers and a good portion of the members of the club will be lost through graduation. To make up for this loss, many enthusiastic freshmen are expected next year to help carry on the good work. BOWLING The bowling team members were Thursday afternoon regulars at the new Verona alleys. When the scores of a few of the boys reached the decent 200 mark, competition was sought among other Essex schools. Double victories were scored against Caldwell and Belleville while one win and one loss resulted from the Montclair matches. Mr. Lape, replacing Mr. C. Smith, acted as adviser to the team which included R. Abram- son, A. Caputo, F. Brookwell, C. Gulla, A. Mazzei, and R. Maxwell. TENNIS Verona High was represented this year for the first time in the Suburban Conference Ten- nis League. Matches were played against Sum- mit, Millburn, Glen Ridge, Caldwell, and Madison. Number one man on the team was -lack Doremus, closely followed in ability by james Courter, Captain Burton Neblo, Charles lieltham, William Bruekmann, Thomas Mc- Govern, and Donald Paulsen. Howard Gibson was appointed manager. Under the direction of Mr. Mattis, the boys performed creditably against seasoned competition. SOFTBALL In spring a young man's fancy, lightly turns to thoughts of softball-at least among the boys of V.H.S. This year's group of eighty- eight boys were divided into eight teams, which were appropriately named Yankees, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Dodgers, Giants, Pitts- burgh, and Detroit. Weathering a storm of stiff opposition, Philadelphians walked away with the honors and the Hnal victory. The members of this winning squad were: J. De- Witt, W. Morrison, R. Farley, D. Oster, T. Brighton, J. Gittleman, C. Benz, R. Healy, and R. Nelson. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Boys who like basketball had an opportunity to be a member of a team this year even if their shooting eyes werenit what they might have been. Everyone was invited to join either the Freshman-Sophomore or Junior-Senior League. The games were played in the school gymnasium after the regular dismissal hour. The winning team of the league of under- classmen was Yale, whose membership included J. Healy, D. Griffen, E. Laux, M. Zara, W. Powers, and J. Cougan. The Purdue team, composed of G. Breiner, P. Kreuder, A. Mazzei, W. Caspar, E. Fox, T. Wiesing, had no difiiculty in annexing the junior-senior title. 067 CHEERLEADERS Ten vivacious sophomore lasses mobilized Verona High's cheering strength throughout the football and basketball seasons. Working in the pep-unit were Norma Smith and Martha Shaw fco-captainsj, Grace Teti, Katherine Rowley, Phyliss Gerard, Joyce Mills, Shirley Fischer, Jacqueline Dempsey, Mary Ellen Tompson, and Margaret Herter. When these girls stepped on the starter, snapped their fingers, or gave their novel interpretation of Susy-Q, the thermometer of school spirit soared to a warm and enthusiastic support of the team. BOXING The War for Survival has given new meaning to boxing as an activity in the boys' physical education classes. Ever since the Jap raid on Pearl Harbor, the boys have been ex- changing blows with a vengeance. An elimina- tion was held to determine the winners of certain weight groups in each grade. The climax to the boxing program came in late spring when various grade winners were brought together to determine the school cham- pions. Those who survived were: heavyweight, F. Palladinog light heavyweight, T. Morley, middleweight, A. Guancioneg Welterweight, W. Powers, lightweight, E. Foxg bantamweight, J. Cartabonag and paperweight, D. Bamford. 680 VOLLEYBALL The popularity of volleyball among the boys of Verona High was clearly evidenced by the 32 teams which formed to compete for the school championship. The games were played during the after school hours in early spring. The organization of the tournament called for the immediate elimination of any team losing one game. Teams who adopted the names Yale and Harvard,' seem to have adopted also the spirit of the two Ivy League schools, for when the fury of the batting was ended both had achieved an equal number of victories. The Yale men were T. Morley, D. Hemion, R. Healy, D. Hoest, C. Eklund, and A. Oster. Harvard's team included A. Guancione, W. Caspar, W. Sager, R. Kearcher, PfeifTer, and S. Gilbert. TOUCH FOOTBALL Eight touch-football squads with some sixty potential Tommy Harmons battled for the intramural championship last fall. A round- robin of thirty-eight games was held to deter- mine the winner. The team having the highest percentage at the end of the season was found to be Fordham. Of their thirty-eight games, Fordham won twenty-four, lost eight, and tied six. Members of the team included Bob How- ard, Ken Butt, Bob Connelly, Bob Van Derveer, Joe Fear, Bob Dickinson, Bill Wahl, and George Bremser. QQ Q'mQQQQQQ,,wgv MSW Ni. i if .

And golf wasn't the only sport in which we surpassed the other, Bob Black, Norman Wiener, Frank Zink and Eddie Smoot were members of the school's first football team. And thus we triumphantly passed the second memorable milestone in our class history, looking forward to bigger and better things in our junior year. AND NOW the pages turn to that fabulous year, when quietly and unherald- ed, we became upperclassmen. Now we knew the joys of looking down on the lowerclassmen and the satisfaction of having them look up to us. By this time, electing Parker Newell president had be- come habitual. Norman Welsh was elect- ed vice president and Elaine Bentley, sec- retary-treasurer. This year, as in the two previous, we were extremely well repre- sented in sports. Bob Black, a three-letter man, played on the varsity football, bas- ketball, and baseball teams. Dynamite Klippel, the pride and joy of the football team, also showed that the Juniors had what it takes. Charles Feltham, Parker Newell, and Carl Eklund were members of our Group II championship soccer teamg and Art jacob, cyclone of the cin- ders, brought unforgettable laurels to the track team. We brought our junior year to a close with one of the most gala events of the season, the junior Prom-our fare- well gift to the Seniors! THEN CAME THE GREAT DAY- that glorious day when we became Seniors. Now we were the people of the school -the pride of the faculty and the envy of the small fry. We embarked on our senior year with the usual high hopes for a grand finale fraught with happiness, honor, and esteem. After we had become well saturated with that inevitable senior- ity complex, we held our first class meet- ing and elected Frank Zink president, Dorothea Manchester vice president, and 700 Anne Farrar secretary-treasurer. just be- fore the Christmas vacation, we spon- sored our class dance, the only semi-form- al dance of the year. This year many of our class members held executive positions in school organ- izations. Parker Newell held the most ad- mired office in our school life, the presi- dency of the Student Council. Frank Zink and Norman Wiener attained the esteemed position of judges of the newly- formed Student Court. The Feltham twins proved their ability in the literary field-Ruth was the editor of our school newspaper, The White Hornet , and Charles was the capable editor of this year- book. Our record-breaking track team was captained by Art Jacob, and ,Iimmv Zingg was captain of both the football and the basketball teams. Elaine Bentley and Arthur Smith starred in the Dramatic Club production, A Murder Has Been Arranged, and they were supported by Gladys Griffin, Carol Dodd, and Richard Schoof. But studies, sports, and dramatic achievements were not our only concern during this last year at V.H.S. Hovering war clouds, the disaster at Pearl Harbor, and the inevitable declaration of war had a strong, sobering effect on our lives. Thoughts of duty to our country, Red Cross activities, and interest in the pro- gress of our defenders abroad were as much in our minds as our school work and extra activities. Three of our boys were not content with merely thinking about the national emergency, they decided to do something about it by entering the armed forces of our country. These boys are Harold Aiello, Bob Whealdon, and George Klippel, and we're mighty proud of them. This recorded history indicates to a small degree the memories we bear. We shall-all of us-leave our school with a deep gratitude for the help we have re- ceived in preparation for the uncertain years we face.

Whitehorne High School, of the borough of Verona, County of Essex, and State of New Jersey, being of sound and disposing mind, memory, and understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament: FIRST: We order and direct all of our sophistication, pull, and special privileges to be given to the Junior Class. To the Sophomores, we leave our sunny dispositions, what good graces of the teachers we man- aged to acquire, and some new cheers for the all-soph cheerleader squad. To the inexperienced Freshmen, we leave our technique of bluffing, and our theme song, This Is No Laughing Matter. SECOND: We order and bequeath: a fund for the purchase of a new nylon stocking for Mr. Johnson, to Miss Howell, anyone who can fill the gap caused by the loss of Ralph Cestone's arguments, to Skipper Smith, our orginal QPJ but inadequate excuses for getting out of gym, and to Mr. Sampson, cleared halls. THIRD: We dutifully relinquish to . . . Canyone or everyonej: Bob Farson's noon-time rendezvous with Jean Newsom, Ralph Sayer's amazing vocabulary, Norman Weiner's talent and capacity for manu- facturing noise, Betty Mansfield's good looks, Bob Chestnut,s dancing ability, and Art Jacobs' grin. LASTLY: We nominate, constitute, and appoint ARTHUR MAC- ARTHUR as the sole executor. i . IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, We the Class of 1942, the testators, have hereunto set our hand and seal this 18th day of June, A.D., one thousand nine hundred and forty-two. f1942j.
