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. 4 • DEDICATION For his patience, his leadership, and his genuine interest in Verona High’s activities, we, the staff of the 1943 “ Shadows,*1 dedicate this issue to our friend and adviser, Mr. Clifford D. W ilkin. It 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. W ilkin 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 Helen F. Batchelder Edith M. Burton Harold Butterworth William H. Sampson Principal Murial W. Lewis Viola Lissner Helen V.

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. W ilkin’s iterative jokes. As soon as a faint light began to glimmer, we were herded together at which time we elected
