ALICE eh GS € To our coach, confidant and “pusher” we dedicate our sports flashes—Mr. Robert Criswell— who has placed Art High on the Sport Map of Newark. @ Our pioneer athletes, the Letter Men: Walter Glenn, shot-putter and javelin thrower, scored 53 points during outdoor track season; “Sharlie’’ Reed, track at Robert Treat, East Side, South Side, Good Council, New Jersey State meets, scoring an average of 4.8 points per meet; ‘““Ted’’ D’Ambola, no noise, but there to feed us, rub us down, remember our forgotten implements, and cheer us through our training; and not a bad High Hurdler at that; Sol Lustig, our Splash of °34 and °35, only 5 first places in free style swimming events. What a captain for us swimmers! “Baby” Styles, our trainer, doctor and assistant manager, got tired of watching us so took first in High Jump in six meets and secured first champ- ionship record held in Arts High; average 5 2 3 points per meet; “Chick” Bialochick, third place in half mile, third place in Sunday Call and West Side meets, jinx, all even numbers; “Bill” Phillips, veteran 220 yard dasher, 2 first places, West Side and South Side; scored in City and Board of Education meets. Verdell Brown, one of the Big Five High Scorers, °34, best developed legs of our runners. Tom Shirley, the High Flyer, our outstanding pole vaulter. Champ Maxel, big, ambitious, expects a letter next year. Officer Roback, track team, shot put, discus and javelin thrower. (@ Our splashers do splash away! Jimmie Woodruff’s strong arms and legs are bound to get him his letter soon. Joe Todres got us 34 points with his breast stroke and free style. Sidney Somalsky back strokes and free styles to first rate on our °35 squad. Alex Monastersky is a member of our first winning relay team—a good placer. @ Here’s another letterman, first class Timber T op- per Jackson. @ Mr. Wishnewsky has joined the faculty ranks to help our athletes get there the way they are getting there. @ Our track team suffers the loss of Walter Glenn, William Phillips and Charles Jackson. As long as they are getting out by graduating, we can’t very well complain. We'll hear more of them, though! @ Our Boxing Club has lots to brag about. How about these hard hitters and victories? Paul Ceravolo knocked out Anthony Del Gercio at the Y. M. H. A. in the Star Eagle Tournament. We won the decision against Market Street High. All of our victories are not in competition. We staged an exhibition in Assembly. Paul Ceravolo, Nick De Luca, James Jones, Harold Gillespie, Norman Tokar, Tom Mesca took part. Walter Glenn and Squeeky Castellano staged a comedy bout. Boxing Club thanks Mr. Faber, faculty advisor, for advancing its success. Meets with other schools are being arranged. (@{ Who says lack of space and equip- ment can keep a good school down? Our athletic accomplishments prove the contrary. SKC MHOXKONE DASHA VAES (@ The Social Problems Club, under the direction of Miss Ruth Eddy, faculty adviser, successfully dramatized a World Court scene to the student body, December 12th. (@ The cast consisted of the boy members of the club. (@ December 13th, the C. W. A. Philharmonic Orchestra played for the student body, who greatly enjoyed their performance. A soprano soloist attracted most applause and was recalled twice for encores. The second most interesting number on the program was the song, “My Old Kentucky Home”, played in the style of several different nationalities. @ On November Ist, the student body entertained by a few reels of moving pictures presented in the auditorium in celebration of Youth Week. The climax of the entertainment was a feature depicting the activities of Youth Week in Military Park. The best film footage was taken up by the Arts High Exhibition. @ Mr. Strong, the Color Expert, visited the school, October 17th. His lecture on color in every day life was illustrated by fascinating slides. (@ Columbus Day was observed in assembly Thursday, October 11th. The program included an inspiring address by Rev. Dr. Gregory Schramm, of St. Benedict's Preparatory School. Father Schramm spoke on the high ideals of Columbus and the qualities that made him realize them. (@ Under the efficient direction of Mr. Rudolf, Professor of Music, three orchestras were formed. There is a Senior, Junior, and Dance Orchestra. The first two will feature mostly at school plays and concerts, while the latter will supply the music for the various dances. ( Paul Fisowitz was elected mayor by a remarkable vote of 502: Albert Lindsy opposing canddate, received 224 votes. eee TS IE TM SU

22 cul Be humble. MUSIC ({ Music is one of the oldest arts in the world and is still considered by many as the finest because of its simplicity and beauty. @ After many years of consideration on this subject the Board finally agreed that they would have a major music course for high school students. This course was started at West Side High School under the direction of Mr. Paul Oliver, now head of music for our school systems. ({ When this course was started it was not anticipated that so many students would want to study music while in high school. This course proved so successful that after one year of it, it was no longer con- sidered an experiment, but a necessity and put into use in three of our high schools, one of which is the Arts High School. Our school is going ahead in music by leaps and bounds under the direction of Mr. Robert Rudolf. @ We have three school orchestras of which two are symphonies and whose members receive minor credit for working in them. We also have a glee club under the direction of Miss Beane. @ The music course given in our school is one of the best and most complete in the city. The Board of Education is now making it possible for students in these high schools and a few of the grammar schools to have music lessons given to them at reduced rates or in some instances gratis. All these things are getting the younger generation to appreciate good music. (@ With the strides this school has already taken in music, we can be assured that ours will be one of the leading schools in the country, giving major music as a part of public education. IEA ra Sin Aes (BO ain Salute upper classmen. Don’t “gyp” the lunch line. Always offer upper classmen your place in lunch line. Never assert yourself. Realize you are ignorant. Don’t laugh. Be not self-important. Never do anything a senior would not do. Never do anything a senior does. Wear rubber heels so you'll be seen and not heard. Carry a plan of the school around with you so you won't have to bother the upper classmen by asking where Room 107 or the office is. RUTH BATSON.
