Instead, our lives are filled with anxiety, un- rest, fear, and anguish. Although our Alma Mater has given up many of her boys to fight for the right and freedom which we Americans have so long prized, we still have memories of them which will always be cherished and will remind us of them until the joyous day of their return home. In the years to come, every page of this book will recall to us some memory of our high school days - a memory that we will be able to cherish and retain forever. DEDICATION For his patience, his leadership, and his genuine interest in Verona High's activities, we, the staff of the I943 Shadows, dedicate this issue to our friend and adviser, Mr. Clifford D. Wilkin. lt is especially appropriate that we dedicate Shadows to Mr. Wilkin because this year he is celebrating his twenty-fifth year at Verona High School. During these years, Mr. Wilkin has given his time, advice, and friendship as a teacher and, more recently, as Dean of Boys, to many students who will not soon forget his friendly personality. We are happy to have this opportunity to thank him for all he has done, and to wish him much happiness and success in the years to come. lb C. Vincent Geiger E.

New feet scurried up the white steps, new eyes reflected the stately columns and conspicuous tower, new bodies twisted in the wooden desks, new hands held and leafed the worn books, new steps were heard in the hall. Yes, a new class of freshmen had entered the portals of Verona High School-a class slightly bewildered in these foreign surroundings, Books, schedule cards, lockers, gym suits, Mr. Crane, pencils, detention, study halls, dances-and everything came showering down on these poor freshmen. But soon, however, this mass became lighter- we didn't forget our books, we found our classrooms, we discovered what detention was, and we became accustomed to Mr. Wilkin's iterative jokes. As soon as a faint light began io glimmer, we were herded together at which time we elected loe Shaw our president, Leo Bromley Vice-president, and Miriam Colvin our Secre- tary-Treasurer. After the cheers for Verona's first football team had died away, we again gathered to- gether and made plans for our first dance. After much work and planning, everything was set, The big night came at last. We don- ned our Sunday clothes, took our best beau or gal by the arm and proudly walked into the gym where a gigantic four-leafed clover and the words Shamrock Swing were spread across the back of the stage. The dance was a success! September l94O, we returned to our stud- ies with the exalted title of Sophomore. At our first meeting we elected our officers - President, Bob Fielding, Vice-President, Ray Kandelg and Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Stahl- schmidt.

This is how every junior felt on that early September morn back in l942 when school had just begun once again. Although we hadn't seen many of our classmates during the two months of our vacation, we soon remembered each person's special talents and at the first class meeting chose our officers. The result of the election was: Presi- dent, Shirley Fischerg Vice-president, Hannelore Weise, and Secretary- Treasurer, Bernadette Maack. Having chosen such fine leaders, the success of the juniors' activities was insured. We, the junior Class, are very proud of the fact that the adjective versatile is associated with our title. It is justifiably placed there for we are well represented in all the regular and extracurricular activities of the school life. The juniors wasted no time in going energetically to work on their outside activities. Barbara Bender was chosen Assistant Editor of Shadows, and jacqueline Dempsey filled the position of Secretary of the Student Council. Almost every afternoon last fall, jimmy Courter, Wally Dix, Ray Farley, jack Howat, and Bob Lazar could be found out on the football field prac- ticing with the varsity team. Speaking of our football games, there is one thing that we can't let go unmentioned, and that is the splendid performance of our Drum Majorette, Doris Lelong. Also in the fall the cheerleaders were elected and five of the six lassies were juniors. joyce Mills, head of the squad, Shirley Fischer, Elaine Benecke, Toots Hageman, and Virginia Car- roll gave their all to spur our teams on to victory. The soccer team profited by the talents of Fred lngold and Allen Tucci. With winter and its ice and snow and cold weather, came our red-hot basketball team that made a name for Verona in such places as Caldwell and Glen Ridge. The juniors who worked so hard for the team's success were Fred lngold and joe Fear, while Ted Weising and Bob Lazar proved quite promising for the future. Spring brought track, and members of the team included Alex Schreiber, Chuck Bentley, Glenn Knowles, Bob Howard, john Warner, Bob Hayes and others. Also this spring, Ted Weising, johnny Farrar and Ray Farley were essential members of the baseball team. And if all this hasn't proved to you our versatility, we have, as class- mates, many of the outstanding members of the band and orchestra. Among our more prominent musicians are: Bob Howard, Doris Anne Hall, Stephen Bonta, Bob Hayes, and Donald Paulsen. While we're on the subject of music, we mustn't forget the voice of Hannelore Weise which was indispensable to the C-lee Club, Too, one of us held the vice-presidency of the Dramatic Club, namely jimmy Courter. Although we juniors were continually on the go throughout the year, we had loads of energy and enthusiasm left to present a splendid junior Prom for the Seniors as a farewell gift. The juniors shall make a fine graduating class next year and we intend to be one of which Verona High may well be proud. 025 ZM9.cb1M L7CDY'O':,,f29-' .

Early last fall the Sophs elected their class officers: President, Sven Peterson, Vice-President, Bill Bruckmann, and Secretary-Treasurer, Norma Carmichael. First on the social calendar was the annual dance. Immediately, the Sophs threw all their effort and enthusiasm into plans for this appropriately named Harvest Hop. The big event took place on October 3Oth, and was a huge success-both socially and financially. An added attraction was the refreshments served in the cafeteria by the Parent-Teachers' Association. The Class of '45 was very well represented in sports. jack Cougan, the gridiron hero, did a grand job on the football team but had a tough break, literally, too, in the Rockaway game. joe Morley, Bill Bruckmann, Bob Fox, Edward Handville, lb johnson, Dave Wilson, Bob Beaton, Wesley Smith, Bill Schneidewind, George Bremser, and Dick Wagner were also members of the squad. While the football squad was attracting many spectators, the less publicized, but no less capable soccer team was out doing its best for V.H.S. Soph stalwarts on the soccer squad were Sven Peterson, George Penndorf, jim Harris, David Bamford, Leonard Tucci, and Pete Healy. In the big winter sport, basketball, such sophomores as Bob Beaton, Sven Peterson, George Penndorf, Bob Fox, Ralph Richardson, and Dick Gartley took Part. Spending much of their time last spring out on the athletic field practicing for track events were john Nichols, Sven Peterson, jack Cougan, Dave Wilson, Earle Courter, George Bremser, joe Morley, jack Addis, Paul Haberbush, jim Harris, Ed Laux, Wayne Varley, and Bill Wahl. George Penn- dorf, Bob Fox, Bob Beaton, Dick Wagner, and Leonard Tucci were to be found on the baseball diamond. Bill Bruckmann and Tom McGovern were the only Sophomores on the tennis team and Ralph Carlson, Bob Schneider, john Dean, and Dave Bamford, manager, were members of the golf team. Also well represented in intramural sports. the sophomores showed, in many cases, that they were equal to many of the upperclassmen. The feminine side of the class was also well represented in sports. The Girls' A.A. boasted such members as Ann Gulla, Kitty Molinaro, josephine Ces- tone, Mary McBratney, Mary Samuel, Marjorie Peltz, Lila Baker, Carol Knod- erer, Norma Carmichael, and Edith Guancione. ln the realm of dramatics, Ralph Richardson, Dave Wilson, Bob Doug- lass and Earle Courter starred in one of Mr. Butterworth's famous produc- tions entitled The Monkey's Paw, Behind the scenes to help with the scenery for this performance were Bob Dickenson and Dick Gartley. The Sophomores have contributed much to the activities of the school this year, and are to be congratulated on their fine work. 029 5 5 3 5355? wif? ff' Wggfgggfii S-SEC L A s s englisch? 9 4 5 iggw Sggiifgiifww Qw, ,ww2 f ug? if fMj+W E aff' L A C f'LA,vL, WOJIL x MTLPWMT J' .

Whitehorne High School and started on the first lap of its high school career. You probably remember, or can at least visualize the grand mix-up of these green freshmen who were frantically tearing through the wrong doors, rushing up and down the stairs, and invariably finding themselves in the wrong room. Well, we have settled down now, and have lbegun to march forward and make a name for ourselves, so let's look at some of our mile- stones. Bucky Hatchett has been the outstanding freshman in sports this year. He was a member of the varsity football squad, a rare honor for a freshman. In addition, he was an outstanding player on the varsity basket- ball team and contributed greatly to its success. Of course, Bucky was our best-known gridder, but there were other freshmen who went out for football and who deserve credit for their hard work. These fellows are: Bob Cougan, Richard Klix, john McCarthy, Marvin Solomon, and Bill White. We're not all athletes, though. just look for a moment at some of our musical talent. Freshmen in the band and orchestra are Dan Buck, Sylvester Casta, Harvey Cutler, Bob Perry, jack Shelly, Bob Singewald, Anna Stephens, Alta Ann Turner, and Richard Wolff. The special Christmas assembly this year was a great success! Freshman girls who contributed to its success by taking part in the beautiful tableaux are Dot Butler, Annette Franco, Barbara Gartley, Bridget LaStella, jeanne Sigelen, Una Stockelbach, and Alta Ann Turner. Bill White helped with the screen printing of the attractive programs for this presentation. On january 4th the news of the death of our classmate, Helen Man- chester, deeply stirred the entire school, but especially us freshmen. HeIen's ever-ready smile and friendly ways will always be remembered by the class of '46. It was on january l4th that the class held its first meeting and elected its officers: President, Richard Klixg Vice-president, Ruth Hintzg Secretary, jean Morrison, and Treasurer, Dot Butler. Also at this meeting a committee was chosen for the freshman dance, The Bunny Hop, given April Znd. Anne Tobler and Daisy Smith helped with the make-up for the Dramatic Club productions, and the scholastic end of the scale was balanced by Audrey Harrison, Ruth Hintz, Peg Longley, Anne Meyer, jean Morrison, and Violet Pataky who were on the highest honor roll. Well, we'lI be back next year as sophomores to continue the start which we made for ourselves as freshmen. 033 F iw fb 1093 gy 'D x'fV'DsfC my KAI-ASS .,QNg, wf5 Kylix rwwff M34 OF 1946 , ,Jn f I M, . sf, M, kj ',,,,vw..,w Af ,fy-,,Q,J .af '14 QQ, ri-.Mx . ,bZV.vl wiv QL,.,MC vu-4 J'-f '7a'T i Ag' 035 Allen, joan Anderson, Carolyn Baldwin, Carol Barcon, Robert Bartolo, Michael Besswenger, Dorothy Brenner, Robert Bresnahan, Betty Brighton, Robert Bruckmann, Donald Bryce, William Buck, Daniel Buehler, Kathryn Burns, Regina Butler, Dorothea Butt, Norman Cagle, Richard Camb, Alberta Carroll, Richard Casta, Sylvester Chittim, jean Citrano, Richard Clegg, Donald Coerper, Marion Colvin, Barbara Cougan, Robert Cummings, Frank Cutler, Harvey Danielson, Arvid Davis, Robert Deerman, Carol De Luca, Robert Denicola, Albert De Vesty, Malcolm Di Salvo, Anna Du Bois, Russell Duncan, William Farley, Norman Fear, Philip Ferris, Richard Franco, Annette Frank, Robert Foley, Marion Garrabrant, Patricia Gartley, Barbara Gearty, Mary 360 FRESHMAN ROSTER Genung, Ralph Goeltz, Marjorie Goldstein, Bertram Goman, Robert Greasley, Marjorie Handville, Donald Harris, james Harrison, Audrey Hatchett, William Heuser, Barbara Hintz, Ruth Hoatson, William Hockstein, Sybil Hodgkiss, George Hogan, Lillian jenkin, Carol johnson, Mae johnson, Mildred King, joan Klix, Richard Knowles, Donald Krauss, Doris Lasley, Elizabeth La Stella, Bridgett Longley, Margaret Lytle, john Marchiony, Lawrence Marks, Arnold Marshall, Hazel Massa, Frank McCarthy, john McCumsey, Willard McKenna, Edward Meyer, Anne Milford, Wilson Morley, Catherine Morrison, jean Moskowitz, Maurice Nagle, Eileen Neumann, Robert North, Adele Norton, Edward Oldham, Mary Pataky, Violet Payne, john Perry, Robert FRESHMAN OFFICERS President ........ .....

Members of the Liter- ary staff who contrib- uted to the make-up of the book were jean Hollingshead, Ruth Stahlschmidt, Helen Stenstrom, Catherine Molinari, Charlotte Sandler, Dot Longley, janet Dryden, Wyman Connor, Gilbert Yeskel, and john Nichols. 380 SHADOWS All over the world today are shadows- shadows of warl Our Shadows will in the future, however, recall to us pleasant memo- ries of our high school days. Although the shadows of war have brought changes to the Shadows of Verona High, the staff, under the direction of Miriam Colvin, fell to work with a will and did its best to produce a better- than-ever yearbook. The editorial board was made up of Miriam Colvin, Editor, Barbara Bender, Assistant Editor, john Nichols, Sports Editor, Hannelore Weise, Business Manager, jean Bruso and Mildred Finkel, Advertising Managers, and Cirace Teti, Circulation Mana- ger. Many of the photo- graphs in Shadows were taken by those camera fiends, Sam Browning and Gilbert Yeskel. These fellows worked energetically and deserve our con- gratulations for the' splendid work, B White des' ed e cover of t b a d did the ' the lil Why t or .pa NM ffl Congratulations go to Mildred Finkel, lean Bruso, and their statt for their splendid work --made especially dit- ticult now, when ads are so scarce. Our new adviser, lvliss Wilma Cope, gave much of her time and ability to Shadows and the statt deeply appreciates her willing cooperation. Grace Teti and the circulation staff did a fine job ot soliciting subscriptions and cola lecting the monthly payments. l-lannelore Weise managed the business and financial end of the book with competence. 039 WHITE HORNET During its third consecutive year, the White Hornet has continued in its success as the enthusiastically-read newspaper of V.H.S. The paper this year was under the able direction of Editor Wyman Connor, Man- aging Editor janet Dryden, and the faculty adviser, Mrs. Edith Burton. ln spite of war shortages, this tri-weekly periodical remained self-supporting, drawing its income from advertisements and circulation. ln order to continue its policy of independence, it was necessary, about mid-year, to cut the size of the paper slightly. ln spite of the paper's size, the circulation this year reached its highest peak since the Hornet's revival three years ago by Dave Krohn and Bob Hyde. A great deal of credit must go to the busi- ness and advertising managers, Mildred Finkel and lean Bruso, for their part in successfully conducting the finances of the paper, the backbone of any organization. The school paper this year more than any other, became the platform for free student discussions about school government and stu- dent activities through its editorials, feature articles, and especially through the very influ- ential column, Letters to the Editors. A great many students found an outlet and a cure for their grievances through this column, and made the paper more a part of the stu- dent body. Besides bringing the news events of the school to the attention of each and every stu- dent, the various interests of the students were presented in a varied selection of col- umns. Perhaps the most popular attraction among the male readers was the sports column As l See lt, written by the sports editors, 400 Ted Warner and jimmy Courter. ln addition, their excellent sports staff, with star reporter Dave Wilson, presented play by play accounts of every important game throughout the Year. Feminine Frills, boasting fashion expert Barbara Bender's byline, enlightened the weaker sex as to the latest styles. Meow, perhaps the most universally read column of the paper, run off by the society know-all, Kay Cederroth, proved a source of amusement and interest to everyone. Alumni, taken over successively by Miriam Colvin, Betty Innes, and june Porter, kept everyone informed as to the whereabouts and welfare of V.l-l.S. boys in the armed forces, as well as reviewing the doings of those V.l'l.S. students now attending colleges throughout the country. A Year Ago Today by Marion Hochheiser and lune Porter, was unique and entertaining in its recall of Verona High doings during the l94l-42 school year. The person responsible for all these columns was Sam Browning, Fea- ture Editor. Through his swing column, Needle Notes, Sam also conducted a band popularity poll in which l-larry lames took first place. Dot Longley, News Editor, and her assist- ant, Marion l-lochheiser, work very capably with their reportorial staff in covering every news item about school. Several excellent in- terviews were presented during the school year. Among these were interviews with bandleaders Charlie Spivak and jimmy Dorsey, and one with that popular singing star, Frank Sinatra. The staff gratefully acknowledges Mrs. Burton's invaluable guidance, which was a great factor in the success of The White Hornet. o4l 5 X 420 DRAMATIC CLUB In spite of the many changes brought about by the war, the Dramatic Club has continued to be one of the most active organizations of Verona High. This year its popularity and membership increased to such an extent that it was necessary to divide the club into two sections-a junior Dramatic Club, and a Senior Club. New members and most ot the underclassmen already in the organization were placed in the junior Club until they showed evidence ot some exceptional ability at which time they became members of the Senior Club. This arrangement proved to be a stimulus to the club's activities. The presiding officers this year were: President, janet Dryden: Vice- President, jimmy Courterg Secretary, june Porterg and Treasurer, jack Cas- per. All of these leaders contributed a great deal toward the success and support of the club. Of course, the first thing to be done was to bring new members into the club and the l942 initiates were really brought in with a bangl The initiation party was chalked up on the club's list of social events as a great success. Transportation and other difficulties made it necessary for the club to forego the pleasure of taking its annual excursion to New York to see one of the current Broadway hits. The members realized, however, that many sacrifices must be made during wartime and willingly gave up their plans. Because of conditions brought about by the war, it was also necessary to cancel all plans for the annual school play. Everyone was disappointed that this-one of the most important events of the school year-would not be presented, but we are all looking forward to the time when the Dramatic Club will again give one of its grand performances for which it has become so well-known. Instead of presenting the annual three-act play, the Senior Club produced three short assembly programs. The first of these was the very dramatic play, The Monkey's Paw. The cast for this performance which included Dot Longley, Dave Wilson, Ralph Richardson, Bob Douglass, and Earle Courter, produced a truly splendid piece of work. An hilarious comedy en- titled Why l Am a Bachelor and starring Catherine Molinari, jimmy Courter, and Earle Courter was the club's next success. Their last assembly program was a radio play given in the late spring. Much of the credit for the success of the club's activities goes to Mr. Butterworth, adviser to the club. The Senior Dramatic Club ended its social activities with a Hobo Party in May. 043 440 GLEE CLUBS Again this year the practice of having two C-irls' Clee Clubs was resumed. The First Glee Club includes those girls who music and are otherwis are able to read e musically and vocally inclined. The officers of this club are: President, Hannelore Weiseg Secretary, Rose-Marie Timkeng and Librarians, loyce Mills and Susan Whealdon, On the other hand, the Second Club consists of girls who want to sing for the pleasure of singing but who have not necessarily acquired any particular musical knowledge. Miss Muriel Lewis is in charge of both clubs. ln the spring, the girls produced a very delightful operetta based on the music of Mozart. This production required much hard work and preparation, but all the effort put forth was greatly rewarded for the operetta was a success and was enjoyed by all! The Boys' Clee Club, under the direction of Mr. Schill and the chair- manship of Steven Bonta, was not able to accomplish all that it would have liked because of the many changes in the boys' schedules, and also because several of the better singers went into the armed forces. Nevertheless, many enjoyable afternoons were spent singing favorite songs both old and new. The Boys' and both C-irls' Clee Clubs collaborated on a very dramatic and awe-inspiring program of Christmas music which they presented to both the junior and Senior High Schools and which was received with much enthusiasm. Once again the Clee Clubs have ur successfully accomplished their main p pose-deriving real pleasure from singing. BAND AND ORCHESTRA Our band, under the able leadership of Mr. Schill, was probably the best sounding band on this side of the Suburban Conference. lt supplied the rousing march music that gave a peppy and vigorous atmosphere to the exciting football games. lt played at all home games and at the Thanks- giving Day game at Cald II we . Our band also played at several public func- tions in Verona including holiday celebrations and the departure of draftees from Caldwell. The quality and body of the band was materially improved by the addition of several musicians from the junior High School The com t h pac orc estra played for assemblies upon many occasions. A great deal of its practice time was devoted to h' h ig grade classical music which was very interesting to play. The culmination of the music program was a fine concert given in May by all the music organizations. Steve Bonta pla ed h' l y is ce Io for the third year in the New jersey All-State Orchestra. Verona's representation there th' is year was augmented by Marjorie Peltz playing violin, janet Dryden on viola, and Wyman Connor on trombone. The band and orchestra had a very interesting year despite the many troubles encountered. There was much difficulty in getting all the musicians to come to rehearsal because of the new schedule arrangement. However results were very satisfactory The resid . p ent of the band and orchestra: elected last fall, was Wyman Connor. 045 Spanish Club The ur ose of the newl or anized Spanish junior Red Cross The important work of the Red Cross was carried on at V.H.S. by a group of girls under the direction of Helen Stenstrom, Helen Marriott, and Miss Cook, adviser, The girls met once a week and, among other projects, made scrap- books for sick children and favors for disabled veterans. During the Red Cross Drive the girls collected over seventy dollars. P P Y S Club is to acquaint its members with Spanish customs and establish a better understanding of our C-ood Neighbor Policy. The club's officers are: President, Richard Citranog Vice-President, janet VanDerveerg Secretary, Iris Schuhamg Miss Callahan is adviser. At the monthly meetings, members play South American games and sing Spanish songs, Each member has an opportunity to participate in the club's programs. . .,,.V . . W International Students' Society This year the French Club, under Miss Cheney's able guidance, was smaller than in pre- vious years. However, the twenty-three mem- bers who did participate enjoyed its activities immensely. The officers elected at the first meet- ing were: President, janet Dryden, Vice-Presi- dent, Mimi Colving Secretary, Ruth Alice Cun- ningham, Treasurer, Dot Longley. lncluded in the club's activities were its delightful meetings at which the members sang in French, presented French plays, and were served refreshments lde- spite shortagesl. 460 The high-spot of the year was a special Christmas meeting. Club members in the past had exchanged small gifts at Christmas, but this year the custom was changed. Instead of ex- changing gifts, each member contributed a small amount towards Christmas presents for two small English refugees and their mother. These three attended a celebration given by the club, and were presented with the lovely and useful gifts. Everyone had a wonderful time! STUDENT COUNCIL Of. by, and for the students! ln critical times like these today when many of our schoolmates are serving in the armed forces that our democratic way of life shall not perish from the earth, we are prouder than ever of our Student Council. The prime purpose of the Council is to make and amend 'aws for the betterment nancially. This was the first of the dances at which refreshments were served by the P.T.A. The first fall meeting of the Suburban Conference Student Council was held here at V.H.S. Our representatives also attended several other meetings of this Council and Wyman Connor was candidate for an office of this body. To aid the war effort, the Student Coun- cil has sponsored the sale of war stamps as well as drives for tin cans and books. of the welfare of the student body. But it has another important purpose. lt gives the student a chance to participate in a democratic system of government. The officers of the Council are: president, Dot Longley lwho proved the capability of the fair sex in directing school affairslg vice-president, Fred lngoldg and secretary- treasurer, jacqueline Dempsey. Miss Howell did a splendid job as adviser. On November 27, the Student Council sponsored The Pigskin live, a dance which was a success both socially and fi- 047 Locker Room Patrols The purpose of the Locker Room Patrols is to maintain order and neatness in the locker rooms, and th?s year's committees, under the direction of Nancy Fox, jonathan C-ittleman, and Clarence Thyren, have done a splendid job. Each period two committee members were in the girls' locker room and two in the boys' to check on students entering the locker rooms. Assembly Committee For the most part, assemblies this year were either junior-Senior assemblies or Freshman- Sophomore assemblies. The assembly commit- tee did a fine piece of work in providing various types of programs, among them Dramatic Club productions, musical programs, class programs, and outside speakers. The committee was un- der the direction of Nancy Whealdon with Miss Howell and Mr. Wilkin as advisers. Cafeteria Patrol The Cafeteria Patrol, organized two years ago, is this year running smoothly under the su- pervision of loyce Mills. The eleven members of this committee are divided into two groups- six preside over the activities in the cafeteria during the first lunch period, and five during the second. This group has done an excellent job in maintaining good conditions in the cafeteria. Social Committee ln spite of paper shortages and expense cur- tailments, the Social Committee, under the di- rection of Ruth Stahlschmidt, continued to help the various classes and organizations prepare for their dances. The committee consists of two representatives from each class, and, with the willing cooperation of Miss Ruth Root, adviser, succeeded in helping provide effective decora- tions forthe dances. 480 Lost and Found Committee Lose something? Well, then, the thing to do is to go see lvliss Cheney or one of the four members of the Lost and Found Committee. Some member of this committee, under the chairmanship of Daisy Smith, is in room 27 every afternoon after school to see that lost articles from mittens to pen-knives are returned to their owners. Traffic Patrol Yes, the Traffic Patrol is an entirely different organization from the Hall Patrol and the two must not be confused! The Traffic Patrol, head- ed by Bill Morrison, is on duty between classes in order to regulate traffic and to try to prevent jams, The patrol and its adviser, Mr. E, l-l. Anderson are also in charge of the two fire drills each month. Finance Committee Do long columns of figures bewilder you, too? We've solved our problem! We have a select group of students who are financial whizzes and splendid bookkeepers. This Fi- nance Committee, headed by chairman Eva Mos- kowitz, keeps the account books of the various school organizations as well as those of the Ath- letic Association, and deserves much credit for its fine work. Hall Patrol The Hall Patrol was very active this year in its endeavors to keep students quiet arid out of the main halls during lunch periods. lt, too, was divided into two groups-one on duty during the first lunch period and the other during the sec- ond. Chairman Ray Kandel was assisted in his duties by lvlr. Wermuth and Mr. Kanzler, ad- visers. 049 500 Camera Club The purpose of the Camera Club, organized last October, is to increase the photographic ability of its camera-minded members. Officers elected at the first meeting are: President, Sam Browning, Vice-President, jonathan Gittleman. The members of the club are: Robert Green, jim Webb, Gilbert Yeskel, Ed Pischl, Bill Wolff. Harry Edgren, Edmund jung, Frank Wright, and Kenneth Halverson. Swimming Clubs Under the direction of Helen Stenstrom both junior and Senior Life Saving courses have been organized. Formerly this club was a part of the Girls' AA., but this year, because of the war, it has taken on a new significance. Members who went to the Y for fifteen weeks were given a real workout and are now, literally, life savers. Our High School Days Our high school days are over, Those days so full of fun I know that some day you and I Will wish they'd just begun. The teachers were quite swell, that's true, When homework wasn't done, They'd bawl us out and just remark, Why did you ever come? We'II leave our school to do our jobs, Those jobs that must be doneg There'll be no more excuses-why we did or didn't come- For some boys will be soldiers, Some girls may join the WAACSQ Our high school days are over And we must face the facts. We'II miss you, dear old V.H.S., We'Il miss you very much! We hope that all your seniors Will do at least that much. So keep on going, Maroon and White! You've got a job to do! No matter if it's big or small, We'lI all be proud of you. -Betty Innes Verona s S P O R T S 520 FOOTBALL The Verona football squad started its season with two new coaches, Mr. Ernest V. Kanzler and Mr. Walter M. Wermuth, both graduates of Lafay- ette University. These men have had experience playing on the college team and Mr. Kanzler, who captained a championship team, received national recognition in this sport. They have both proved able coaches at Verona. The team lost the opening game to Summit by a score of I4 to 6 and then lost to Madison l5 to 0. They were also defeated by Glen Ridge 7 to 0 and Rockaway l8 to l2 but Verona made a comeback by vanquishing Mill- burn I3 to 6. They finally dropped the last game to the traditional rivals up the road. This was the annual Thanksgiving Day engagement with Caldwell on Caldwell's new gridiron. The game took place before a crowd of approxi- mately 3,000 enthusiastic football fans. The Hillbillies lost a heartbreaking decision to the Blue and White of Caldwell by a score of 21 to 0. However, every one of these teams found the Verona eleven a mighty tough crew, and although the team suffered a number of losses, they showed fighting spirit all the way through every game in spite of the score. Among the lettermen were Harry Dougherty, Bob Lazar, Bob Nelson, Tom and joe Morley, Bill Morrison, johnny Rodgers, jack Howat, Ray Farley, Dick Wagner, jimmy Courter, Alex Schreiber, and the illustrious freshman, Bucky Hatchett. Although many of the mainstays of the team will be lost through graduation lDougherty, Nelson, Rodgers, and Tom Morleyl, the prospects for next fall are promising. Under the coaching of Mr. Kanzler and Mr. Wer- muth, the i943 football squad-boasting such players as Bucky Hatchett, Lazar, Courter, Wagner, Schreiber, and joe Morley-is expected to show an eagerness to go places and a hard-fighting spirit that will do credit to Verona High School. The soccer squad this year seemed to fall heir to more than its share of hard luck. Severe losses to the team were joe Fear, a veteran of last year's team, and Pat Franco, lettermen from Montclair, who were unable to play all season. Both Allan and Leonard Tucci were out of the line-up a good part of the season because of injured knees. When Tom Brighton left for the Navy, the team was left without a captain. l-lowever, Ellie Fox, a veteran of much experience, took over the captaincy and did a grand job. Coach Doc Coeltz had his troubles, too, and many times found him- self short handed and without substitutes. Nevertheless, Doc continued to encourage the fellows to fight good, clean games and, under his direction, they showed that they could still score even though they lacked the man- power that might have meant a final victorious push. Because of injuries, illness, and other tough breaks, much of the play- ing was necessarily done by experienced veterans such as Ellie Fox, Fred lngold, Al lVlazzie, johnny Farrar, Allan Tucci, Sonny DeVito, and goalie Ray Kandel, Newcomers to the squad who stepped into the vacant positions and who greatly helped the team were jim l'-larris, Sven Peterson, George Penndorf, Ronald Bersworth and Leonard Tucci. The team's tough schedule included games with Kearny, Harrison, Mont- clair, and East Orange. Special mention goes to Ellie Fox and Ray Kandel both of whom have been with the team for the last four years and who have done their very best to make it successful. When the varsity letters were awarded in assembly, receivers were Ellie Fox, Butch Kandel, johnny Farrar, Fred lngold, Allan Tucci, George Penndorf, Sven Peterson, jim Harris, Ronald Bersworth, and Manager Bill Wolff. SOCCER 053 l 540 BASKETBALL The crowd of Verona High enthusiasts went wild with joy as the unde- feated Glen Ridge five bowed to a victorious Verona squad. At last the champs had been beaten-and by our own ambitious regulars, Ed Mech, and Ellie Fox, co-captains, joe Fear, Terry Dean, Sonny Vitale, Fred lngold, and the freshman who made the all-state second team, Bucky Hackett. Al- ready the Ridgers had defeated Verona three times, although two of these games had been extremely close. Evidently our boys had heard that turn about is fair play. At any rate, they put all their energy and enthusiasm into this game and succeeded in triumphing over Glen Ridge in our final game with them. Our team proved its ability and was chosen to play in the State Cham- pionships. In these playoffs, the fellows reached the sectional finals, having beaten Wharton, 25-l8. Unfortunately, they were defeated the following week by the speedy Roxbury five, 48-24. During the season, Verona bowed to Glen Ridge, l2-29, 30-3l, and 3l-33, to College High, 36-373 and to Caldwell, 29-30. The brighter side of the ledger shows wins over Caldwell, Montclair Academy, College High, Carteret, Glen Ridge and, in the State Sectional semi-finals, Wharton. Many winning games may be expected next year with such players as Captain-elect, Fred lngold, Sven Peterson, Bucky Hatchett, Bob Beaton, and George Penndorf. Skipper Smith certainly merits much credit for his fine job as this year's coach. Varsity letters were awarded to Ed Mech, Ellie Fox, joe Fear, Terry Dean, Bucky Hachett, Fred lngold, Sonny Vitale, and Mana- ger Tom Morley. The crowd of enthusiasts that gathered at the games expressed the sentiment of us all- Our team is tops! BASEBALL April l6th! Remember? lt was then that the umpire cried, Batter up! and our baseball season was officially opened. This home game with Bloomfield was not only the beginning of the baseball season, but it also was the beginning of the entire spring sports program of V.H.S. The Verona nine, under the coaching of that favorite of the students, Doc Coeltz, is scheduled to play eleven matches with teams both in and out of the Suburban Conference-teams such as Bloomfield, Carteret, Cald- well, Montclair, C-len Ridge, and Montclair Academy. This season, because of the war and transportation difficulties, the Suburban Conference League has been divided into two sections and the winners of the two sections will battle it out for Conference championship. Caldwell, Verona, and Glen Ridge make up one section of the league and keen competition is expected among these three schools. One of the most familiar of all faces around our diamond was that of the iovial captain and catcher, Harry Dougherty. Other all-important members of the team were Ray Kandel at the number one sack, Ed Mech at second, Fred lngold, shortstop, Ellie Fox at third, and johnny Farrar and Ted Wiesing on the pitching mound. ln left field was Sonny Vitale, Tom Morley in center field, and in right field, Sam Vitale. Individual honors go to the captain-catcher, Harry Dougherty, for his splendid work both as captain and as teammate. Fox, lngold, Kandei, and Captain Dougherty proved to be valuable batters and lngold and Fox did a good job of holding down the infield. Also deserving special mention is pitcher johnny Farrar who contributed much to the team's successes. 055 56 TRACK Three years undefeated in dual meets and defending champions of the Suburban Conference-this is a record of which every Verona High student, but especially members of the track team, can be proud. This season the cindermen have not only pointed toward the Conference Championship lagainl, but they were out to win the Group l team championship at the state meet, Trackmen of notable ability were Captain Bill Morrison who excelled in pole vaulting and hurdle events, the speedy Glenn Knowles who ran the hundred and the two-twenty, john Nichols and Bob Howard in the quarter mile, Ted Warner running the half mile, and Ken Butt and lim Harris running the mile. Supporting the field events were Sven Peterson and Chuck Bentley-pole vaulters, jack Cougan and Sonny DiVito-javelin hurlers, and Bucky Hackett, jack Howat, and Alex Schreiber-high jumping. john Rodgers and jack Cougan used their football-hardened arms for the shot-put while Schreiber and Butt took turns heaving the discus. The first game of the season proved to be a victory for Verona over Mountain Lakes. Although Verona was leading by only one point, for a while, they finally won out with a score of 62-55. The track team would not be the team it is if it wasn't for Skipper Smith. Ask any track man and he will agree that Skipper is tops as coach. The team's schedule this season was no pushover. There were meets with Scott High, Mountain Lakes, Glen Ridge, Caldwell, Summit, the Subur- ban Conference meet, the Newark Invitation meet, and the final meet of the season-the state meet on june 6. GOLF Brand newl That's our golf team, but its newness doesn't in the least affect its effort and enthusiasm. Unfortunately, last year's dream team graduated and no varsity veterans were left as a nucleus for this year's squad. Everyone realizes, however, that last year's State Championship team was really one in a million and so we are not expecting the same results from our new team. Captained by Bob King, the squad is holding its own despite the fact that it has no seasoned linksters. Number one man on the team is Captain Bob King. He is supported by Tony DiSalvo, number two man, johnny Dean, Bob Schneider, and Ralph Carlson. Acting as manager for the fellows is the competent Sonny Casta. Early last spring, squad members were out on the athletic field batting golf balls around and practicing special strokes. The team began its season by bowing to a persistent West Orange squad, but our boys redeemed themselves when they triumphed over Cald- well High by a score of lO-2. Coach Elmer Williams, who did such a grand job of guiding last year's team to the State Championship, is this year putting all of his energy and enthusiasm into making this squad another success. Although the team probably will not reach the heights attained last year, the season is bound to be a good one since Coach Williams and all the boys are putting all their effort and enthusiasm into it. The golf schedule includes matches with Caldwell, West Orange, and Bloomfield. The final match of the season will be the coveted Suburban Conference competition at Summit, All other games will be played at the Ferncliff C-olf Course. . 41 A 057 if 580 GIRLS' A. A. Physical fitness is an essential to the war effort. This year, more than ever before, the Girls' A.A. is, in addition to providing recreation and keen competition in sports, helping to give the girls the physical stamina they will need in the future. ' Heading the activities of the organization were: President, Bernadette Maackg Vice-President, Doris Booker, Secretary, joan Boylang Treasurer, Nora Denicolag Student Council Representative, Helen Stenstrom, and Ad- viser, Mrs. Van Houten. In addition to these executive officers, the AA, had a Manager for each of the sports. Last fall hockey and archery attracted much attention. The girls' hockey team played several exciting games with our age-old rival, Caldwell. The last game of the season ended with our defeat by our neighbors up the road. Nevertheless, the girls fought to the end and deserve much credit for their efforts. The first blasts of winter weather started the basketball season on its way. Winter activities were more varied and included bowling and riding. The A.A.'s winter program also included junior and senior life-saving courses. These courses were given at the Montclair Y.M.C.A. under Miss Kirk's direc- tion. ln the early spring the AA. sponsored a ping pong tournament and later on softball and archery competitions took the spotlight. On the A.A.'s social calendar was a record dance featuring special dance contests. This dance, held on February 26th, proved very successful and the girls gave one-third of the proceeds to such charitable institutions as the Red Cross. Bowling Team Only two years old, our bowling team rolled a fine score and matched last year's record by finishing its season in first place in the League. The deciding game was an exciting match with Bloomfield, other members of the League were Caldwell and Belleville. Mr. Lape was adviser to the team which included lack l-lardebeck, Wy- man Connor, Al Mazzie, lim Foley, and Norwin Clover. Tennis The i943 season marks our Tennis Team's second year in Suburban Conference competition. Our comparatively green squad showed its abil- ities in matches with seasoned competitors. Cap- tain limmy Courter, following in the footsteps of Doremus and Neblo, is the number one man on the team. Other team members were Bill Bruck- mann, Donald Paulsen, and Tom MCC-overn. The team was ably coached by Mr. Ernest Kanzler. Cheerleaders This year the members of our football and basketball teams had six vivacious lassies to cheer them on to final victory. Shirley Fisher, loyce Mills, Virginia Carroll, Elaine Benecke, Mary Elizabeth Hageman, and june Robertson all did their part in winning the enthusiastic support of the student body for the teams. Our hats are off to you, girls, for a job well done. Riding Club Back to the boots and saddle-that's where many V.H.S. girls are heading these days. The Riding Club, sponsored by the Girls' AA. has become increasingly popular this year, Every other week the girls and their advisers, Miss Bartelt and Miss Kautzmann, don jodphurs and go to the Montclair Riding Academy where they receive instruction and an opportunity to ride in the reservation. 059 600 Helen Manchester's lovely smile and sparkling personality were known, not only to her freshman classmates, but also to most upperclassmen. The en- tire student body was deeply moved by her passing. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Continued from Page Tweniy-Three Our name was well represented in the field of sports with Tom Brighton, Charlie Breiner Art Guancione and Ray Kandel on the soccer team, Bill Morrison, Bob Nelson and Sonny Vitale in football, Charlie Breiner and Sonny Vitale in basketball, Tom Brighton and Ray Kandel in baseball, and Eddie Pheiffer as an energetic cheerleader. ln june, Bob Fielding, janet Dryden and Ruth Stahlschmidt were elected President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer, re- spectively, for the coming year. The successful Sophomores finished their second year in V.H.S. with a deficit of forty-six cents. At last it had arrived-the rank of upper- classmen. We were juniors and as the year passed became prouder and prouder of the fact. Names of our classmates were prom- inently displayed and spoken in every nook and corner of the school, in many scholastic organizations and competitions. In the field of music, we had Wyman Connor in the state band as a Verona repre- sentative, Ruth Stahlschmidt, Mimi Colvin, Sonny DeVito, Kay Cederroth, Gilbert Yeskel and janet Dryden in the school orchestra and band. ln sports, Charlie Breiner, Ray Kandel, Art Guancione and Sonny DeVito displayed lhelf talents on the soccer team, Bill Morrison, Bob Nelson and Harry Dougherty were again mem- bers of the football squad: baseball brought out Captain Harry Dougherty, Ray Kandel. Tom Brighton, Tom Morley, and Ray Farleyl Bill Morrison, Gilbert Yeskel and Wyman Connor were among the junior members Of the track team. Two of our outstanding students, Wyman Connor and janet Dryden, represented V.H.S. in a radio quiz. Dot Longley attained fame in dramatics. At the close of the year, the juniors, in honor of the graduating Seniors, sponsored the traditional prom. This year, without doubt, will be remembered by all. September l942, we strolled down the now familiar halls of our Alma Mater with a know all look on our faces. After three years of hard work we had become Seniors. We soon realized that our class was to be distinguished from all previous senior classes. The war had entered our very midst and many of our classmates left for the armed services before they could even participate in class activities. Our officers were Bill Morrison, joe Shaw and Ruth Stahlschmidt. Many of our class- mates held executive positions in school or- ganization. Dot Longley was president of the Student Council, Wyman Connor edited the White Hornet with the aid of janet Dryden, and Miriam Colvin was editor of Shadows Bill Morrison, Bob Nelson, johnny Rodgers, and Tom Morley were all valuable additions to the football team, jonathan Gittleman received an appointment to West Point, Wyman Con- nor represented V.H.S. in the Suburban Con- ference, Ellie Fox and Sonny DeVito were outstanding in soccer, and Ed Mech, Sonny Vitale, Terry Dean, Ellie Fox and joe Fear did much to place our basketball team in the State Tournament. Dot Longley continued to display her dramatic ability, Gil Yeskel and Sam Browning clicked their cameras for Shadows and the White Hornet , and Wyman Connor won recognition as a bandleader. Because of the introduction of the Victory Corps, many of our courses had to be altered to suit the war effort. The fourth and last year of our studies in V.H.S. has now termi- nated. The years that we have spent here, the years that we have studied and played here, are years that we will not forget, years that in future times will seize our dreams many times. The world which we Seniors face today is not a normal one. It is bitter and cold and harsh from war. Many of our classmates will be spread throughout it in a short time . . . sent to places far and near. But wherever they may be sent, and whatever they may do, their thoughts and memories, at some time or an- other, will be focused on a common ground, Verona High! o6l 620 SERVING IN THE ARMED FORCES LIEUTENANT ROBERT WILSON, Missing in Action Donald Abramson, A.S.
