FOREWORD
In 1849 the news that gold had been dis covered on the west coast burned across the nation. A long trail of prairie schooners and mounted prospectors wove their way desper ately on to California. Harder and farther the Forty-niners pushed. No obstacle could turn them from their goal. Their heroic struggles have come to supply some of the most exciting pages of U. S. history. Now, one hundred years later, the Forty- niners of V. H. S. also have an important story to tell. These prospectors have cracked their frontiers with the same boldness and determination as their counterparts of the nineteenth century. They are now ready to explore the larger unknown. May they take with them these recollections as they push forward to horizons yet unseen. DEDIC1TI0I

Page 10 1948-49 With the “ schmoo" craze and the birth of the "Verona-Cedar Grove Times” we sweep into "seniority” as rugged Forty-niners. “ Ha! You can’t say that; you haven’t got a rule for it!” corrects Miss Miller. As Mr. Johnson’s dollar deposits are dwindling, ’’students” warn their classmates to run for their lives. My test tube's going to explode!” ' Stop pouring hydrochloric acid down my back!” Marshall, Pres.; Hogan, Vice Pres.; and Morley, Secretary, lead our class politically. The American History class votes all go for Dewey with the exception of one for the Honorable J. Fernaid— not so the nation. With Schiabor leading, the cheerleaders continually charm us with their clever "figures.” Brooks heads the Soccer squad. The new flag twirlers strut their stuff with the band. Aldiero, Bruso, co-captains, and the rest of our boys, come through to give us glorious football. The Thanksgiving game leaves us breathless and voiceless. The Whitehornet reaches a new peak in entertainment with B. A. Jen nings as the harassed editor. She even finds copy in her refrigerator. Miss Marone wants pictures of the Senior boys— for Shadows, that is. Editor V. Herried moans and weeps as complaints about Senior pictures keep her phone buzzing. The 'Christmas Rush” heralds into "Jingles Department Store” every thing from a huge Christmas tree and wavering peppermint stick refreshment counter to the daintiest femininity in off-the-shoulder formals. Brooks and Bluck reign over the Seniors’ successful social. As the boys on our basketball team ring up the victories, the girls in the locker-room have powder fights. The first crocus crokes and the track and baseball teams step out of their * long underwear to bring on the victories. President Bush and the Dramatic Club start to prepare a whopper of a school play. The graduation whirl starts. The Junior Prom— The May Breakfast— Wonderful Shadows inducing writer’s cramps—Senior Dinner— With light heaoT^ve smile at underclassmen studying for exams. The Forty-niners don caps ami gowns and stumble through potted palms to receive their diplomas. High school days are over except for those graduation parties. And so we enter the "brave young world.”

FABLE OF THE CLASS OF ’50 To whom it may, if any, concern The Seniors were something to gaze at in awe, How the class of ’50 has fared The Juniors were quite to be feared, We present in the lines which follow The Sophomores we hated without being told The record completely bared. When our errors and mishaps they cheered! The usual timid Freshmen we were As Sophomores we lorded it over the Frosh, With that “ hunted look” on our faces; Sophs are s’posed to be quite “ in the know!" We got lost the usual number of times Our Latin II Class was as dumb as they come And were late to the usual places. Our teachers in English were all "on the go.” And then we were Juniors— upperclassmen at last! With the Prom as the peak of the season. As our goals and future ambitions arose Our attitudes changed, with good reason— From Juniors so jolly on frivolity bent We became grave old Seniors with serious intent.

Page 38 SOPHOMORE MILESTONE CLASS OFFICERS Harold Kortright, President; Henry Ps President; Barbara Jean Brooks, Secretar Commencement— Scholastics— On the first day of our Sophomore year Came exams, tests, and little quizzes We entered the school with a lot less fear With Harold’s marks always leading us whizzes. Than when, as Freshmen the year before, Yes, Algebra, English and Latin II, We had cautiously opened the high school door. Never left us with nothing to do. We became the class to head all fields, With piles of homework every night The class to which no other yields. We knew that ahead was a long, hard fight. Spirit— Socials— At football games we sat to cheer, October 10th had come at last, Helping to bring our victory near. Across the gangplank students passed, Even the boys who sat on the bench What melody came to their ears! Were heroes to us behind the fence. Sweet music of the "Souvenirs.” We danced for joy when victory came, Success was "Showboat,” the Sophomore dance Especially at that Caldwell game. Which left the school in a nautical trance. Finis— Oh, being a Sophomore wasn't so tough, Though we admit homework was rough, But while we worked we grinned and bore it And when there was fun we laughed and adored it. Yes, no one could ever try to surpass Our ’49 Sophomore Class. SIGNPOST READING First row, left to right: Williams, Burns, Palazzolo, Dow, Duff, Fear, Decker, Ruehl, Coates, Jacobus, Smith, Gemmell.

Now being Freshmen, we try subjects new. Let’s try the next one." They get harder with Latin and Algebra too. They turn with a sigh. We tried to be big shots but finally found "W e’re lost and we know it!” That the upperclassmen have all the ground; (It’s our first day, Just entering High School we try to respect It’s just us Freshmen, on Judgment Day.) These "wonderful" seniors; what will they do v i a ? — As you’re strolling homeward While others quickly fly, A pile of books go staggering past; It’s me— I mean, it’s I!

Page 49 SHADOWS "Shadows,” the school’s traditional poor relation, in trend with the Forty-niner atmosphere, tightened her buckskin belt and went seeking that gold, humming "Shadows Forever.” Some hardworking prospectors, besides the editorial staff, were Marilyn Katz, Roberta Hochheiser, and Joan Sherman, next year’s editor. In March many couples sauntered down "Shamrock Lane” in time with the "Blond Sailors” for the Annual’s benefit. We can’t say "Shadows” struck it rich, but through a hard-working staff and cooperative school we didn’t have to mortgage our picks and shovels, but were able to give to you this book of "golden memories.” First row, left to right: Jay, Tappcn, Driggs, Garrabrant, Ericson, Silverman, Rose, Mahar, Marone.

PUBLICATIONS WHITE HORNET As usual The White Hornet' kept things buzzing throughout these hallowed halls. As well as keeping the students informed as to the cultural and educational occurrences, ahem, the "Hornet'' was an indispensible guide to the local love life. Of course on the back pages appeared the smashing victories and occasional defeats of our intrepid athletes. Outstanding special features this year were the many clever cartoons and the revealing poll of the V.H.S. "studes "! As the last issue of the '48, ’4y season went to press, the budding Westbrook Peglers and Dorothy Thompsons on our staff sadly folded their typewriters and silently stole away.

Just three years after the cham pionship team of 1945, Verona High School has again come up with a winning combination, this time not only capturing the Suburban Conference championship, but the State Group I, Section 2 title as well. Captained by Frank Aldiero and Ed Bruso, the 1948 team consisted mostly of Seniors. The forward wall, which did such a great job, usually contained Don Marshall and Carl Sempier at ends, Jack Davies at center, tackles George Voss and Frank Al diero, and guards Ed Powers and Eddie Bruso. The back- field crew was composed of such able ball carriers as George Mills, John Hogan, Phil White, Don Clapp, Tommy Hat chett, and Dick Fifoot. The record made by the 1948 team was the best so far, the team winning eight games and losing only one, a heart breaking defeat at the hands of Summit. Much of the team’s success this year is the result of George Mills’ pass ing ability. With such able receivers as Marshall and Sempier, Mills set up many touchdowns for Verona, some on the first few plays of the game. The touch-down pass to Sempier on the opening play of the Passaic Valley game will be hard to forget by Verona fans. Time and again, Carl neatly split the uprights with his place kicks, provid ing important conversion points for Verona. Climaxing the 1948 football season, was the traditional battle between Verona and Caldwell. Much was at stake in that game, and the boys came through to win a thrill Coach Wermuth & Assistant Coach Smith Sempier snags another at Rockaway ing contest. The situation looked bad at the beginning, Verona recovers a fumble at the opening game with Caldwell romping for two touch-downs before Verona got moving, but Verona fought on with even more deter mination and pulled the game out of the fire, 21-12. Know- First row, left to right: Rogers, Sury, Van Etten, Valk, Light, Powers, Brusso. Second row: Nighland, Page 60 Hatchett, White, Fifoot, Foss, Kingston, Longo, Kortright. SQUAD ing that his place kicks might decide the game, Sempier gave his all and made three beautiful placements. It was a hard fought game and a fitting climax for one of the best teams Verona has yet produced. Coach “Dutch” Wermuth has done a splendid job with the team this year, as always. Most of this year’s team were regulars last year, which has been a big factor in the playing ability of the team. Since only Phil White, Tommy Hatchett, Dick Fifoot and George Voss will be left after the seniors depart via graduation, "Dutch” has taken every opportunity to give the underclassmen playing experience by putting them in after the varsity has rolled up a good score. We are certain that this experience will be a big help to the 1949 team, and we wish them the best of luck for a successful year.

The high spot of the season was the defeat of Harrison, until then unde feated in over three years. Verona also l\x tied Harrison, and tied and beat Mont clair. "D oc” Goeltz’ main soccer crew this year consisted of Brooks, Pringle, Wieland, Schoof, Williams, Bradley, Palm, Peterson, Evanson, Dietz, Kearns, Levy and Meyer. Good student support of the team and enthusiastic cheering gave the boys a big boost toward victory. Though a little disappointed at not being able to play West Point, the boys were content in knowing the Plebs would have suffered defeat. Many lettermen will be back next year, and the team forecasts a banner 1949 Verona maneuvers the ball. season. Fernald fights for possession. Page 62 TRACK Track and field events have always been a strong point in the Verona High ath letic program, and it looks like the 1949 season will be no exception. Last year our track aggregation walked off with the Suburban Conference title, the State Group I title, and didn’t lose a single dual meet! Most of that great group of per formers is back again this year, and Coach Skipper Smith is looking forward to an HayD a v‘s Pla other successful year. To mention a few Srst Ces of the boys in their respective events, we have Guido and Egbert in the 100 yard dash; Frank Aldiero in the shotput and umps javelin contests; Kearns, Shaw, and Voss sm i'eV' doing the pole vaulting; Pringle, Hat chett, and Levy going over the hurdles; Marshall, Sempier, Davis, and Watson in the quarter mile race; Foss in the half; Van Etten in the mile; Levy throwing the discus; Don Marshall in the broad and high jumps; and quite a few other fellows who should really come into their own this year.

CHEERLEADERS No, the Rockettes didn’t quite invade the school this year, but the wonderful precision and form of the cheerleaders at the games caused many a gasp of awe. Their clever routines so out-classed any of those the school had witnessed before, that everyone agreed the "Pepsters” were the best they had ever seen.
