SENIOR HISTORY September i939 - remember? 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. Confirmed on Page Sixty-One ag l
