History[]
Early life[]
The fanzine Mystery Inc. Insider claimed that, as a child, Velma used to dress up as the superhero "Crime-Smacker." (There was no evidence of this other than this one unreliable source).[2]
It is stated that back when she was a kid, Velma's father used to take her to see football matches in Custer's Stadium occasionally.
Some of Velma Dinkley's high-school years were at a different school from the others, one that she calls her "alma mater." The successful football team there is called the Devils. Velma had detention at that school once (and only once) for getting into a fight with a boy named Mickey Murphy after an "overheated debate" between the math club and the science club. She apparently won the fight, because she said his pocket protector didn't protect him very well.[3] It is quite possible that it was there that Velma went to school with Annie Brewer.
She seemed to have also attended and graduated from the high school where Principal Weathers was in charge, because all of the gang are called "celebrity graduates" from there.[4] This school was Coolsville High School, which was the "alma mater" of Shaggy Rogers.[5]
