| Joseph C. P. Dow left New Hampshire and became a school teacher in Walton 1847-48. He wrote three letters home which have survived. | |
| The 1961 Dawn published a complete list of graduating seniors from 1902 to 1961. You can find it here (pdf). | |
| Walton-Verona's Dawn, it's yearbook, is likely derived from the motto of the class of 1925: “Not the Sunset, but the Dawn.” | There's a history of the Walton and Verona Schools, here. (the first Walton public school principal quit - to teach at Harvard) |
| Walton-Verona held a public meeting in 1954 to decide whether or not WVHS should integrate. Courier-Journal coverage is here, and the Walton Advertiser's story is here. In 1955, they did. |
