They were years of training for our future participation in American life. Of book learning there was much, but what will never fade from our brains are the counsels of truth, justice and beauty that our parents, our teachers, our principal have given us. We trust we too gave something 1n return: faith and courage to continue the great process of education for democracy that has made us, sprung from many stocks and races, proud, above all, of our title: Americans!

SHONOH MIE KONE ns “ NIR ITS Arts High School, from its inception, has been dedicated to the vital significance of art values in the educational plan, and to their importance to the social order. Here Art is regarded not merely as an adorn- ment of education, nor even a curricular subject alone. It represents rather a line of approach to the problem of daily living. It is exemplified in many patterns of con- duct, and finds expression in numerous forms, chief among which are fine arts, music, and the drama. American education has in the past been centered upon two major purposes, the building of moral character and the business of making a living. With the innumerable mechanical aids which are at hand to relieve drudgery, and with a newly awakened public conscience, sharpened by the bitterness of depression and destitution, time must be granted to consider the very art of living. And the basic principles of design,—pro- portion, balance, rhythm, dominance, are as applicable to the pattern of life as they are to the graphic, musical or dramatic arts. In the world of affairs, moreover, there is a constantly increasing demand for the services of persons who, while in no sense Sigs e9 hetnaVae 8 GN Byala 8 But life to me has been unkind: I've tossed upon its stormy sea; I've tasted all its bitterness: There's naught to it but misery. Now, to my fate | am resigned, For all there is to life I've seen, There's nothing more that's left for me, No more, alas—for |'m sixteen. —Inez Letzerich HICH SCHOO E professional artists, are nevertheless quali- fied to pass artistic judgment upon a com- position or a situation. Apart from practical considerations, there is a growing conviction of the value to the individual of the posses- sion of a keen sense of artistic appreciation, combined with some measure of creative ability. It is difficult at any time to predict future trends in the social order. But it seems most likely that a constantly increasing number of people will find a more abundant life in surroundings which exemplify high ideals of beauty, as expressed in community planning, in places of occupation, in the home, and in personal character. In any event, with the increase in leisure time, enforced or otherwise, which accrues to the individual, there is a social need for an educational unit in which the educational procedure is centered about the develop- ment of those cultural resources which bring their own reward. If Arts High School, within the sphere of its own activity, can give to the ideals of art a human habitation and a name, it will have served its purpose. | 9 40 BUILDING AN The sculptor who has long labored upon his masterpiece, is surprised anew as the falling veil discloses his work. American art today is similar to the statue yet unveiled. We are rapidly de- veloping our native art, but it has yet to reach the stage where it will be readily recognized as a distinctive American art form. An Oriental work of art, be it a painting or some humble carving, is distinctly recognizable as a product of the east. Egyptian art, regardless of its expressed form, is also readily associated with its own period. But America today cannot rear upon its cultural hind legs and acclaim a similar art development. Why has it not reached this period? Surely America has a rich historical background, short as it may seem when contrasted to our older European nations. Surely our art should be in- spired by our natural beauty, our industrial ee aactere and our countless opportunities for engaging in artistic endeavor. What, then, has held us back? “Lack of time!'' someone shouts. “Lack of AMERICANS! says another. Ils either true? Mexico, no older than we, possesses an art internationally recognized as AMERICAN ART definitely Mexican. Many European countries, although closely adjoining each other, have dis- tinctive art forms, but it will be found that these different national groups are fairly uniform in regard to racial origins, religion, and cultural background, and that that uniformity has come atter years of amalgamation. America is not yet a completely amalgamated nation, and when it is, we will tind that a national art will be the natural outgrowth of our many background influences. As potential artists, we should heartily do our best to further American art by contributing work that reflects the life of our times with its typical color, youthfulness, and ideals of social equality. No longer should we look to Europe for inspiration, but seek it in the very life about us. Regardless of the vast amount of negative argument concerning the present existence of American art, the day will come when the veil which now hides it from recognition, will fall earthward and reveal a NEW art.

Little does he realize that beside these two benefits, he is also receiving valuable training that will help to strengthen his character, and fit him for good citizenship in later life. Playing in an orchestra develops in the student responsibility and a feeling of self assurance; teaches him to work in harmony with others; to be able to follow directions quickly and efficiently; to cooperate for the good of a worthwhile cause. The student of course receives this training in an indirect manner; for example, he has the task of having to play the music set before him correctly and with feeling. He is solely responsible for his own part, and, not being able to shift work or blame on to another person, he will soon stop using others as crutches, and will learn to stand firmly on his own feet. Beside having to play his own part correctly, he must also learn to work in harmony with the rest of the orchestra. He and they must play as AveRe TS med Cra a group, and not as individuals. If each person in a group of fifty or more persons played as a single individual, using his own tempo, expression, quality, there would be ear-splitting results. From being in constant contact with the other members, and from thinking in terms of the group instead of the individual, he will soon find himself working well with others. Being able to execute directions and follow instructions promptly and correctly is another important part of this training. In most instances, the success of a musical performance depends upon the conductor's interpretation of the selection. That, in turn depends largely upon the cooperation of the orchestra in following his directions and instructions. To have the ability to follow in- structions is as important as to have the ability to give them. It is a known fact that very few people who are, or have been, associated with an orchestra ever become social problems. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that orchestra work does help build strong characters, and that it does help prepare young people for good citizenship. —John Frascatore See Ce etOn@, EE Il THE VALUE The most important reason for studying indus- trial design is that it has so many applications. Students should take advantage of the opportunity offered them in high school to learn the fundamen- tals of design. These fundamentals should be applied in the designing of the common things of our daily life, as well as to: architecture, furniture, househo ld utensils, electrical and mechanical appli- ances, ice-boxes, stoves, filling stations, objects of transportation and communication, packing, pub- lishing, and office equipment. When a family has a fair sum of money in reserve, it is likely that their dreams lead toward having a home of their own. In order to build a house, they should be able to read plans and make rearrangements according to their own taste and needs. A knowledge of the fundamentals of architectural design will be of great value in this respect. The next problem that confronts the family is how to select furniture to harmonize with their new home. For a modern home, traditional furniture would produce an inharmonious atmosphere, and so also, modern furniture in a period home would appear incongruous, therefore attention should be given to working for a complete harmony. OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN Another industrial design field of major import- ance today is that of transportation which includes trucks, buses, automobiles, trains, and airplanes. Aircraft design is far from being in a state of perfection, since many deficiencies still have to be improved upon. This field of design lies open to all human intelligence. The engines to drive these transportation vehicles and all other machinery can be listed under machine design. Because of expert machine design, auto- mobiles for example, are made in greater quantities and can therefore sell for prices that all classes of people can afford. The Arts High School mechanical drawing course includes the basic principles of industrial design. A student taking this course has an opportunity to discover whether or not this field of activity will interest him. If it does, then he will polars direct his efforts in one of two fields: he may go into the field of engineering and will pursue that course in a technical college; or he may go into the field of industrial design, and, with a good art training to back him, he will devote his energ’es toward making more beautiful the everyday objects which surround us. —Egon Stark, 3A Bey fea ees PEO) Na GONE BS ly le beorome | 9 40 12 FACING The study of Industrial Art, as taught in the Arts High School, involves unspecialized practical activities in a variety of materials for the solution of problems and for creative and recreational expression. It provides also for the use of leisure time and for enriched living. Industrial Art is concerned with present day living with emphasis upon intrinsic and immediate values. Concretely and in a tangible way, Indus- trial Art contributes toward an understanding of and an interpretation of the age of power and machines in which we live. Industrial Art affords an opportunity for many students to discover themselves, their interests, and their power and control over materials. This field of study provides for the beginning of an understand- ing and an appreciation not only of aesthetic and utilitarian values but also of the successful com- bination of these two. This contribution is practi- cally unique to the Industrial Art area. This need has long been recognized in education and many attempts have been made to provide for it. An ideal situation for a method which is con- sidered by many to be a most effective and desirable means of learning is found in this field of activity. The student may experiment with TOMORROW'S ake@ebaleiMes materials of theories, evaluating, and organizing and continuing this process until satisfaction results. This on-going process, pointed toward the student- determined goal, continually requiring the appli- cation of knowledges, the use of insight and judgment as to the possible results, and periodic evaluations, is the core of the experiences with which education should be concerned. This is learning in the truest sense of the word. Thinking through many problems in school that parallel those of major life activities, provides the student with experiences that tend to develop his ability to direct intelligently his own thinking in regard to his own betterment and the betterment of society. Engaging in activities that assist him to become increasingly self directive through satisfactory in- dividual growth, the student develops the ability to analyze his problems and to choose the best method of solving them. This implies the quality of clear thinking. With the ability to think his own problems through for himself, a student, ex- perienced in methods of intelligent thinking upon practical problems, can be depended upon to develop new solutions to meet new situations in our changing social order. Ae ReSheS mbed Catt Sy Ce nh tOPe (Ohra E 13 HOME The primary aim in the teaching of Home Economics is to contribute to the development of individuals, with a view towards helping them become better adjusted to the world about them. Nowadays all energy is bent towards mass pro- duction and the individual is ignored. Therefore the Home Economics Course has been expanded to include the personal interpretation of the standard pattern of home and family life. The most important advantage of this course, however, is the development of self-expression. Few things can accomplish this aim more thoroughly with girls than the making of clothes. Here the student's taste is exercised freely, since she is the sole judge of what she intends to construct. She is responsible for style and color. She retlects her personality, her character, through finding an outlet for her instinctive creative urge. Leaving character values aside for a moment, and turning to those concerned with finance, a general check-up will show at any time that the cost of making a dress is generally lower than the cost of buying one. Even if the price of the material exceeds that of a ready-made outfit, the wearer will find, to her satisfaction, that she can make a beautifully perfected gown, comparable “ECONOMICS with the very best, provided she is a neat and careful worker. It is impossible not to recognize how the clothes budget is lowered once one has had the actual experience of making one’s own clothes. It is pleasing, then, to note how a becoming costume may be obtained at so little expense and with no sacrifice of quality or of artistic effect. Students at an art school, more than at any other, possess a greater sensitiveness toward correlating art with their various interests. Their minds have become so intluenced by their studies that this combining becomes sponianeous. Real artists acknowledge the fact that there is an artistic way in which a seam may be sewed or a ruffle ironed. They know that buttonholes are as attractive as the maker is careful and skillful. Cleverness and origin- ality can be brought into the lime-light by applying suitable trimmings. All this requires a certain knack or touch that cannot be duplicated by a machine. Because art offers so definite a contribu- tion, the traditional course in Home Economics has been enriched and enlarged through the student's recognition of art valués. In short, this course has helped to bring forth the primary pur- pose for which our school stands .. . Art.

Life is made more secure by science, and science in turn offers thousands of art inspirations to those who would accept them. Students will be able to understand this only with a science education to lead the way. When they are thus prepared the result will be a group of young people able to weave these three factors into a harmonious pattern of happy life. Let us first weigh the necessity of possessing some scientific knowledge for making life a I.ttle smoother. The main purpose of the Science course is to train students to substitute intelligent thinking for groundless superstitions. In the olden days, night air was thought to be unhealthful and there- for windows were closed to keep it out. The process of bleeding was used as a method of removing poisons from the body, but, instead of curing the sick person, the process weakened him and in many cases brought his death. Early American families placed much faith in medicine men who did more harm than good. The ability to see what is wrong and correct it by scientific study marks the difference between the unsatisfac- tory methods of aiding the sick used many years ago and the efficient methods used today. Few people realize what a cooperative system nature has arranged for all forms of life to follow— how dependent and useful one thing is in relation to another. There alone is a lesson we should all absorb. If nature has indeed made such a success of lite—what prevents man from applying the scientific theory to his relations with other men? Science may seem to have no art quality to those who do not understand it. The countless number of geometric designs revealed to us by means of the microscopic lens, and the fundamentals of color which science has demonstrated are factors about which more than an intelligent few should know. It should be remembered that a building has no chance of survival without a sound founda- tion. Science, then will help to make our art work more structural and more sound so that it will be built on a firm foundation of knowledge. Science will give us a respect for life and hence make us less rash and more certain. If science accomplishes the above for us we will have a group of students more capable of taking care of themselves and more efficient in interpreting otherwise unsolved mysteries. —Henrietta Hoinowski ° A RT §$ aol H sy {Ce InP On ovs yt 15 Courtesy Newark Sunday Call MODERN DANCE The recent trend in Physical Education for girls at Arts High School is typified by the Modern Dance. Work in this field leads to the desired development of control of the entire muscular system. In interpretative dancing, music and dance forms are coordinated in order to give expression to abstract forms and emotional reactions. The dynamics of motion are so closely related to those ot music that special attention is given to responses to music. These, in turn, lay the foundation for the presentation of those particular dramatic situations which can more adequately be expressed by movement than by any other art form. This is accomplished by varying intensities of movement and rhythm, wide use of space and direction, by abstraction, and often distortion. The Modern Dance is executed with an economy of movement, a total absence of empty posturing and gesturing. Since a colorless interpretation is worthless, it is essential that the dancer learn the art of skillful application of the dramatics of movement. The Choreography of the modern dance is to a large extent original. Movements are devised as the plan progresses. Rarely does an entire dance remain intact, revision often being necessary for a more interesting presentation. The names given to the compositions are unpre- tentious and well suited. For example, “A Study in Contrasts'' is exactly what the name implies. Through the entire piece the contrast between two groups is carried out—contrast between ex- pansion and contraction, contrast in rhythm, contrast in color of costume. One of the best liked of the compositions is ‘Technique’. It is merely a set of rhythmic techniques arranged in a dance pattern. The gradually increasing tempo, reaching its climax, never fails to win vigorous applause. Simplicity is the keynote of costumes for the Modern Dance. The most practical is an ankle length costume of princess type with long sleeves. This serves to place premier importance upon movement rather than upon any superficial means of expressing an idea. A fabric with a depth of quality aids in intensifying the movement. The Modern Dance Group of Arts High School has presented programs for many audiences, in- cluding Panzer College, Montclair State Teachers College, Trenton Central High School, The Con- temporary of Newark, The Council of Jewish Women, The German-Jewish Refugees, and The Order of the Eastern Star.

And so our life is like a painting, when well done, It wins acclaim from all ones fellow men And then is hung upon the line. But then If poorly painted, all the hues will run And smear the painter with a dull disgrace ‘ And from this art, the maker turns his tace. Young people today, prepared to go out into the world, are faced with a problem that never before existed—a problem that requires more initiative and foresight than anything that con- fronted our forefathers in days gone by. If people in the past were dissatisfied with conditions in their environment nothing prevented them from packing up, bidding good-by to suppression and discontent, and setting out to seek new fortunes in the frontier of the west. The idea of an unexplored continent furnished an incentive to achievement and an opportunity for courage. Somehow it was possible to wipe the slate clean of old worries and automatically get off to a new start. It would be unfair to say that this running off to the west did not really require courage, for the frontiersmen had to combat many hard- ships, but it must be remembered that a truer courage is displayed in the performance of those things we either fear or dislike. Facing the social problems of today in a settled country requires far greater courage and patience than fighting Indians. This challenge to the youth of today will enable them to contribute something far more vital to our civilization than just new land. Our country may be considered fairly well established in regard to the settlement of land and the distribution of population but not in regard to the social problems of that population. We appreciate the absurdity of the man who, a few years back, saw no further use for the patent Amero i. S Flge | Cant S —George Lewitter EDITORIAL ® office and therefore sought to have it discontinued. Similarly we should scorn the person who insists that the future is a closed situation in regard to social problems. When an artist starts out to paint a picture, he first makes a rough sketch to plan his general composition. Then he sets out, using the best of his abilities, to perfect his study to produce a beautiful piece of work. We can easily use this example to apply to the work of mankind. For example, take our nation—its resources have been discovere d, its cities have been built, and _ its industries founded. Now, with an ever-increasing body of intelligent and educated citizens, social improvement should stride forward at full speed. Countless numbers of things and conditions stand in further need of thought and patience to bring forth the best that our civilization has to offer. In these critical times there is no room for unimaginative persons. We need people who will make our Democracy more secure and more universal than ever before. It should be remem- bered that there remains another way besides resorting to the sword to settle the problems of the world. The survival of the fittest is as true today as it ever was. Now, however, the law should apply to the survival of truth and right and good rather than hate and tyranny and selfish ambitions. —Henrietta Hoinowski Go He OmOF-L i] C —_ 16 @ jack earl szesze Three cheers for Jack!

Being clever, efficient and earnest, it is little wonder that he is one of the leaders of the class. He is neat in appearance and in thought. His interests lie in the music field.

But Ralph is the more quiet and reserved of the two. We all have admired Ralph, because he is one who can change his mood on the spur of the moment from one—quietly studying his history, to another, gayly listening or telling funny jokes (???). These two boys are known to have pleasing smiles, and we are quite justified in saying that they are good students. We also remember the time they had their pictures in the Sunday Call don't we? Sure, they were picked for their similarity in appearance to the famous Mauch Twins of Hollywood. You'd be surprised how closely they resemble each other. Red Cross Representative.

They are so alike, that there are many in our class today, who cannot tell them apart. But the one thing we do know is that ''Stan'’ is a swell fellow—and one of the most liked in our class. We've known him to argue with Ralph—but we very seldom have seen him other than in a happy mood. If it's fun you're looking for, you'll certainly find it around Stan. 93450 AveReei oS @ jack i. green No wonder Jack has so many friends at Arts High. What with his dry sense of humor and his store of con- versation it would be remarkable if he didn't. Get him cornered and he'll either tell you about his stamp collection or his love affairs. We have no doubts about that stamp collection, but as for the other—well, we wouldn't be a knowin’. Jack intends to make his career outstanding along the art lines but after hearing him confuse victims at the student court with his trigger tongue we can't help wishing he'd become a district attorney. @ george goldstein Here's one hundred and sixty pounds of merriness. When George smiles (which is very often) his pearly white teeth shine as brightly as a lighted 100 watt bulb. Many are George's attainments during his years here. When it comes to a question of singing classical or popular songs, George swings into action with a breathtaking rendition of any proposed ballad. Not that George is loud or outspoken, but George, when in his own group, is the center of attraction always, either because of his arguing, laughing, or haranguing. We would also like to let you in on one of George's pet'’ craves, that of pulling your ears. If your ears are soft, beware!!! P.S.

She has won the respect of the entire class by quietly asserting the seldom used proverb, ''Actions speak louder than words''.

It seems that a flock of kids (from 9 to 12 years old) were gathered about Ronald and listening attentively to his advice. But that wasn't all. The funny part about it—was that Ronald was in a uniform, Oh, he was a ''beauty''! Imagine—a high school senior in knickers with a group of kids throned at his feet. We cannot help but laugh whenever we think of it. Ronald has been an important member of the stage crew and has been one of the most hard working fellows in our class. But with that smile of his, is there any wonder why he has so many friends? @ joseph sneden Whenever you hear a hearty laugh, you know he's here. Who? Joe of course.

As a result of his previous education at St. Benedicts, he continues to slam Arts High in regards to—to—to athletics.

Not that he hasn't piled up an abundance of human friendships at Arts High, but books have made a real scholar of him. He has always been quiet and reserved.

They smell worse than sulphuric acid. His friends know that his interests go towards photography, for many hours are spent by Dick, in th’s hobby. We won't forget in a long time those many hours that we've seen him cleaning his 'reed'' (licorice stick). You better watch out Dick, pretty soon people will get the idea you can play. © marion wright Quiet and reserved, Marion goes her way, doing her share of the work, without looking for reward.

Qi ee NG be Ga Nie Eee Titles ete naae J UGENZ E We, the historians of the June Class are certain that among us are numbered more talented individuals than in any graduating class before us. We have good reason for this supposition. Just looking over our four years here proves that. We are also convinced that we will leave definite impressions behind us. Note: it has not been determined whether they will be good or bad. Ail submitted opinions are artfully withheld. None- theless, we hasten to assure you that our reputation is generally good. What with an erstwhile assort- ment of developing poets, showmen, artists and musicians, to say nothing of exhibitionists—is anything lacking, we ask? Our present attitude is probably the outgrowth of our freshman year. Even then our early genius would have its out. In support of the above, there was that masterpiece of modern journalism the 110 Disturber'’. The inmates of the room saw to it that their original piece of work appeared every week. So much for the activities of the male of the species. The girls joined all the clubs, as freshmen will. With zealous devotion they plunged into the social life—and even more zealously did they plunge out. Needless to say, we tripped lightly through the first and second year. Those were times when any- thing went. Naiveté was abandoned and in its place came sophomore wit. For example, the definition of 'bigotry'’ was a man with many wives. Affairs of the heart went strangely haywire. The gentlemen flirted with the ''frosh'', the gentlewomen with the seniors. Occasionally the program varied as when Armand Cicetti left—in order to become a family man. Came the third year and also the beginning of dawn. All our brilliant bubblings came to a head. Claire Bosler, who has since left us, started the term off with a bang by becoming editor-in-chief of the school paper. As if that were not enough, John Frascatore captured the position of mayor. In his campaign speech he promised the school a fencing team and unlike most campaign promisers, he actu- ally lived up to it. Here credit must be given to Jack Szesze for organizing the splendid team we now have. A good deal of space could be taken up if all the personal achievements were listed, for through- out the year our names were frequently connected with art and scholastic awards. The spring, how- ever, brought on new activities. Joe Caroff, heading a revue written and staged by himse'f, gave the school a new and cleverly arranged entertainment. Proof of the fact that it was Can lVAES ae in} dl Sealer Ouse appreciated is to be found in the decided profit added to the treasury. The spring also brought about the election of the Vignette staff. The idea centered about an early beginning so that the usual rush in the following spring would be avoided. The climax of the season: came when the group decided to give a junior prom. This original idea was another point in our favor since there had never before been a junior prom in our school. As is well known, the school is not equipped with a large gymnasium. Now the ingenuity of the class came into full play. The front entrance hall was used as the dance floor and the orchestra played from the balcony. The entire project was another triumph and topped the year beautifully; in fact most of us wondered secretly whether our last year could be as successful as this one. All doubts were banished when we returned in the fall, and in most instances even better ideas than before were brought up for approvement. The first event was that of a picnic in South Mountain Reservation. Unfortunately, the day planned for the outing was miserable and rainy. In spite of this, however, we have information to the effect that those who had courage to venture into the wet had a good time after all. The next project was such a good one that it is only fair to give the credit where credit is due, to our class adviser, Miss Howard. She suggested making hats of green and grey felt to be sold to and worn by the students at large. It was as much fun for the girls to make them as it was to sell them. Before long many an Artite could be spotted in a crowd by the proud little indentitica- tion set on the back of his head. The class gave an Amateur Show with Professor Quiz’ under the direction of Joe Carott and Bob Otten who are our gifted dramatic producers. Like the revue given the year before, it was received with great enthusiasm. One of the most outstanding dances given in the school from the standpoint of enjoyment, was the ''Kiddie Dance’, given in March 1939. It was so truely hilarious that we are positive that a great many more such dances will be gen in the future. In the meantime, we are planning still another prom which we hope to make even more note- worthy than our former one. Leaving aspiration behind for a while, we all gaze wistfully at the Candidates for Graduation list, hoping sincerely that our next history test will not strike out our name and leave us in desolation. Lillian. Hutter and John Bischoff A RT S riod} IE Seer @.-OF | 39 FOUR: YEARS The Dramatic department of the Arts High School has been a contributing factor both as a curricular and as an extra-curricular activity for the past six years. Since its inception, the study of dramatics has been counted a major subject because the Dramatic course is a more coordinated outgrowth of the English department. Probably the most active subsidiary of the Dramatic department is the Dramatic Club. In both organizations, the participation of the stu- dents is divided among selected projects. The contributions of the club have been somewhat confined to one or two presentations each year, the outstanding performance being the Annual Arts High Night which is sometimes referred to by a more appropriate name ‘Variety Night’. Variety Night has been a tradition to the entire school as well as to the Dramatic Club, and for that reason it has included practically every depart- ment. By way of contributing to a well balanced program, the Physical Training Department has been represented by the Modern Dance group which has given highly acclaimed performances of creative, rhythmic dances. The school .orchestra has also been a splendid contributing factor to the Variety Night program through its offerings of both classical and popular numbers. Behind the scenes, other departments work long hours preparing the technical and artistic details of the show. The Art department has been re- sponsible for the colorful and superbly designed sets on the stage, and the Manual Training shop has conscientiously worked out the technical and construction problems of the sets. The Costume Design class has at times created the designs for the players, and these costumes have been made in the Domestic Arts department. Cooperation is the star in any performance, and in this respect, our shows have been ''four star’ hits. The outstanding dramatic presentation of the past four years was ''Poor Maddalena’’, which left a memorable impression. This play was the story of Pierrot and Pierrette, sweethearts in the land of fantasy, and of Bumbo the clown who was the Spirit of Laughter. Honors were justly won by David Goldstein, Roland lenni and Lena Kugel for their brilliant performances. Another charming and fanciful play given by the Dramatic department was The Will O' the O) IF DRAMATICS Wisp . Ruth Kinney, Betty Fraser, Vivian Ransley, and Jerome Reich will long be remembered for their superb work. Now, after three years, we are again to see that lovable fantasy Poor Maddalena’ with two members of the senior class taking leading parts. John Frascatore as Pierrot will romp through the land of Make-Believe under the watchful eyes of Bumbo who will be portrayed by Joe Felice. The second play at the same performance will be that hilarious farce ''Sp arkin' '' starring Matilda Mark- owicz, Joan Miller, and Frank Marson. The evening's entertainment will be completed by an- other fantasy, ‘'Minikin and Manikin'’. It was not until last year that the seniors, who were then juniors, realized what great talent lay hidden in their own classmates. So with ''now-or- never’ as a challange, they produced a variety show of their own which included one act plays, musical specialties, and the personal appearance of the Crystal Gazer. The success of this brilliant class production was due mainly to the untiring efforts of Joe Caroff, who directed the review from start to finish. This year the same troop of performers, now grown to be seniors, again triumphed, this time in an Amateur Show which included a successful troop of musicians, singers, and actors. Never before was the evolution of the high school students’ way of dancing more frankly, yet skillfully portrayed than it was by Art Conlan and Mary Wilcox. This ultra-collegiate dance team tripped off with a justly earned second prize. In contrast to the above, Matilda Markowicz held the audience spell- bound with her daring and difficult feats on the parallel bars. The third prize was given to Matilda in @ unanimous decision. Not to mention the boys who have made these performances possible through their untiring efforts behind the scenes would be to work a grave in- justice. The Arts High stage-crew has shown intelligence, resourcefulness, and inexhaustable energy in working out the technical side of every stage performance. They have always been un- sparing of their time, and have invariably risen to every emergency. It may be said in all truth it is the chaps behind the scenes who make the wheels go ‘round.

G is tor gumption, for we're on the go, and H is for hopefulness—most high, never low. We, the graduates of today, are being told by both current events and people, that the world into which we are about to step, is not the proverbial oyster. Our eyes have not been closed to the goings on about us, and we are not entirely unprepared. To prove this point, you must compare us to an article which is being manufactured in a huge plant. As we go along the assembly line each teacher adds his little bit to us. The workers are our teachers from kindergarten through the grade school. In each class, we are taught with the thought always in mind, that we are being prepared to be good citizens, happy, healthy and intelligent. Each subject, no matter how. un- necessary and impractical it may seem at the moment, will be of great use some day. If by chance we don't happen to apply that subject directly, there is always the fact that anything we learn is not lost, but helps to make greater personalities. During the time we are in grammar school, we somehow remain aloof from the happenings of the world, despite the efforts on the part of our educators to arouse our interest in adult affairs. EDITORIAL ® By the time, however, we reach high school, we are commencing to shate the ''Fairy Dust’ from our eyes and show some interest in the world wherein lies our future. Numerous subjects are needed to give us a general view of life, for as is known, an unbalanced education is almost as bad as an unbalanced diet. In a number of schools the happy medium is not found, for academic subjects are over-emphasized. We students of Arts High School are of the opinion that our school does offer a balanced education. For here, both the academic subjects and the arts are considered on an e qual footing, and we try to coordinate our subject matter with our work, People do not usually realize what they really need until they start to do something. This is the case when we begin to study our English or History. We then see how these subjects influence our daily life. Thus a clearer understanding of current happenings and a more enlightened stand in the field of literature, plus a working appreciation of aesthetics is brought about through the com- bination of the Arts and Classics.

In the Social Events of the Week Section, we read about the reunion of the January 1940 class, which was held in the newly enlarged lunchroom of the Arts High School. After a short busi- ness meeting the ladies and gen- tlemen retired to the annex, where a spacious gym is located. The alumni danced to the smoothe tunes of the Arts High Orchestra, still ably conducted by Maestro Rudolf. Our reporter tells us that some of the people present were a little disappointed over the ab- sence of a few members of the class, but due to their careers, it was impossible for them to attend. In the scientific section we read that Amelia Gans, after years of hard experimental work has final- ly perfected a machine which will talk about ‘Herbie’ for her. Next we turn to the Musical section of our “Sheet” where we read that Peter Arella, the famous violinist, is now substituting for Jack Benny on the latter’s weekly radio broadcast. Jo-Ann Miller, popular Prima Donna, is going to make her debut in “Hold Tight’ tomorrow night at the Metropoli- tan. Another musical item is in a more popular vain. Our own Lois Meyers is now appearing in the “Elbow Room” singing “La Donna Macaroni’. Naomi Beeger is giving a recital in Carnegie Hall next week to a very select audience of the musical world. Turning to the sports page, we find that Fay Mammolite is the owner and captain of an all girls football team. Stuart Glendenning has at last made a name for him- self in the field of sports. He is the man who fills the pools before each meet. David Hosp, his co- worker, now safeguards the lives of the swimmers of the team by willingly falling into the pool to measure the depth of the water. Education is our next item and we are proud to read that Dick Breder has recently been awarded the B.A.D. degree for his work in Lexicography. He has just completed a new universal un- abridged dictionary. Mr. Breder is the dean of E.Z. College. Another educational figure is JANUARY, 1960 — WORLD-WIDE EDITION that Mae Gomberg’s dream has finally come true, for she is now head teacher in the “Think It Don’t Say It” School for the speechless. Vito Vecchioni, one of our most learned pedagogues is giving lectures on public speaking. The literary page comes next, and our former classmates have been doing rather well in this field. Listen to this! Robert Hose has finished his book on the cor- rect pronunciation of the word “Hunh”, and already is has won world acclaim. Ed Kucinski published a new set of maps on the correct loca- tion of the European Countries (at the time he did them). He dedicated his work to Miss Travelsted. Under the heading of outstand- ing events we find that Mischa Feinman had the courage to un- dertake the great task of empty- ing the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific by way of a bucket bri- gade. In the line of awards it is said that petite Helen Zaras was awarded the title of the “prettiest Hostess’ on the “Save Your Thumb Airlines’. Doris Womack received the Carnegie Medal for the best embalming job done this year. The Corpus Delecti was the late Walter Bell who was a great man in his day as the president of the “Youey Chewy Yummy Gummy” Company. Now comes the welcome part in any newspaper, the success stories. First Charlotte Stifelmen is an interior decorator. She has just completed work in the new home of Pluto the Pup. Margaret Janigan, the greatest designer for women’s clothes, has finished the wardrobe of the newly wedded wife of Donald Duck. Al Hoffman, the famous artist, breathing a sigh of relief, has just submitted sketches for the murals to be used in the Newark World’s Fair of 1991. Frank Abbate is another one of our classmates to realize his ambition. for Frank is still running. He is running for Presi- dent of the United Organization of Street Cleaners. Carlo Massaro. prominent business man, says, “I owe all my success to the fiery inspiration constantly overhead’”’. Alfred Waxham, the prominent business executive, can still be found walking the corridors of Arts High. He can’t get out of the habit. Lester Dubin, the class plugger, is head of an Ice Cream Company. On the side, Mr. Dubin gives advice to the lovelorn. Heading the column of Domes- tic items, we read that Mary Rossi, America’s ideal Housewife, has recently revolutionized the process of boiling water, (we can- not disclose the theory yet). Cliff Lewis is the proud father of a family of little boulders. The children are all chips off the old cliff. Upon turning to the amusement page, we are proud to read the press notice about the recent re- vival of ‘Camille’ with Edward Weiss playing the leading role of Armand. Still in the theater, we note that Frank Marson has taken the place of Orsen Welles. Now Frank will create mass hysteria. Annette Giamis is in seventh heaven. She owns a motion pic- ture theater. Alice La Vere is the star in the current show at the Hotten Totten Club produced and owned by Kenneth Cunningham. As a miscellaneous article we hear that by walking into an Artists’ Club you can find Al Maeis posing for the members as a cigar store Indian (P.S. They are in Vogue again). Listed among the tragedies, we are deeply grieved to hear that Anne Grosmen is still in a critical condition. She was introduced to the boy across the street and collapsed from the shock. Jack Hackett is in the circus business. He is billed as the thinnest man in the world. (He went on a diet and couldn’t stop.) Sylvia Stuppi has been voted Public Jitterbug No. 2; she runs second to her husband who is Jitterbug No. 1. Gene Belby is looking for a remedy for swollen lips. Mr. Belby is a baby kissing politician. Among those not present was Bob Peterson. Last heard from, he was exploring for lost treasure on Manhattan Island. Anthony Salvato was another. He is trying to make a record flight to New York from New Jersey. Betty Sheinbloom is the owner of a factory which makes pink pills for pale people. Miss Shein- bloom was ill due to her overeat- ing of her famous product. The weakly editor lays down his typewriter, and closes his eyes on some more pipe dreams . [Qh 3 RO be Gere V.

Why do authorities so stress the value of clubs encouraged to and organizations? Many young stu- dents couragements and participate in these respond to their teachers’ en- activities, but few know why they are directed to do so. Perhaps an illustration Let us study the students who willingly devote will best explain this subject. their time and energies to the service of the benefit or for their own pleasure. It is among these school for its young people that we find the qualities of school spirit, co-operation and lead- ership. Extra-curricular activities help to bring out these qualities in students and in many cases develop them. Young people become over anxious to get out of school and do something on their own. They feel as if their hands were tied when their full four years of secondary education are limited to ex- tra-curricular activities only. Many more of them, in fact, would undoubtedly be tempted to cut short their education, in spite of all its advantages, before the required four years. School organiz- ations suggest to the students uses for their leisure time. Modern their jobs not only include the teaching of book written subjects, but also the organizing and directing of leisure time activities. Because of the better under- standing of the psychology of adole- obtained in their teachers’ training course, they are able to see the delicacy of their task. Students at this particular age begin to form new educators now realize that escence, ideals concerning life, many of which be- come fixed. For the first time they devote serious thought to the conduct and social attitudes that will influence the rest of their lives. Teachers are now able to deal skillfully with this problem by giving the students the advantages of participating in extra-curricular activ- ities. The value of extra-curricular activities One would include the intellectual gains and might be placed in two classes. the other the social advantages which enable us to live happily with others in the world. Through these activities the student is helped in discovering his interests and aptitudes. A great deal is done toward making the student's life smoother by helping him to dis- cover his talents in various fields and to develop high standards of conduct fact, many of the admirable characteristics in personal and group life. In that persons everywhere respect, such as, fair play, self control, and unselfishness, are acquired through this more informal way of learning. Student government is one of the most constructive organizations in a school. It encourages respect for the law and for the operation. In this democracy of ours it importance of co- is necessary that we have citizens who know how to play their part intelligently in our government. By participating in life situations. students and develop a sense of school receive experiences responsibility that will train them for later life. Above all, qualities of leader- ship are discovered and encouraged a- long productive roads. The school paper, important organizations in every school, one of the most is a direct result of the student's desire Work on the school paper encourages the better use of English expression to imitate his elders. and develops greater self through poetic composition. There is also an- other Students are ever anxious to make their composition good imaginative and advantage. enough to get in the paper’. As a result of this opportunity, there is a decided improvement in the work. The Dramatic Club has an intellectual value that builds better standards of dramatic appreciation. It helps students to become more attentive and _intelli- gent audiences that truly appreciate the performance because of their experience in having participated in one. In addi- tion, few realize the excellent co-opera- tive feeling that is created during the excitement of putting on a play when various school departments contribute to make the production a success. PAUP RGbt@ Sse Oylr Pa mley lala Ess The Library Guild offers an excellent opportunity for experience. Its members become acquainted with books of all They acquire appreciation for good literature and thus broaden their sorts. knowledge. There alco exists a close school and libraries. Each is dependent upon the other and both must be on hand to serve the student in his education. alliance between therefore In the field of music, participation in the orchestra and choir develops self control, steadiness of purpose, and perseverance. Above all, the necessity for co-operation is stressed. These activ- ities help students to give our country the very thing for which it stands— unity. These young people also develop a greater knowledge and appreciation of music. Ideals of safety are stressed and also created by the Student Patrol. Appre- ciation of order and respect for author- ity are the outgrowth of this organiza- tion. The job of a patrolman is one which brings no tangible reward and one that is constantly performed for the welfare of the entire school. There still remains, however, the ful- fillment of the students’ desire to work together and enjoy themselves in each others’ society. To realize this need, there are various clubs and_ societies which provide a healthful outlet for these friendly traits. Until recently, extra-curricular activ- ities were unheard of. Enforcement of child labor laws and increased national wealth have created more leisure time. This fact, together with the necessity of preserving democracy through edu- cation has lead to the further develop- ment of our school activities to provide training for citizenship and for worth- while use of leisure time. Let us look upon the required school subjects as a means to familiarize the students with what has happened in the past, and the extra-curricular activities as picking up the thread students in applying their school sub- and giving experience to jects to actual everyday life.
