These school girls were picking strawberries on the Verlin Hill farm located on 12th St. NW just north of the Windy Acres Auction Barn in Waverly. Mr. Hill hired about 60 girls to work mornings for about 3 weeks on his 2 acre plot. Mention of Hill's strawberry business have been found in the newspaper from 1959 to 1968.
