JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Ah! Upperclassmen at last! 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
