As the years advance, it is a source of the highest gratification to those in authority to note the con- stantly increasing number of students who appreciate the advantages of a type of education which exalts art, music, and the drama to their rightful place in the educational scheme. Soon you will be listed as alumni, privileged to carry the flag of Arts High into countless fields of endeavor. As students, your loyalty to the school has been its tower of strength; as graduates it is your high privilege to exemplify the law of beauty in your daily lives. Build them for a future which glorifies all that you have learned to say or do, for the common good, for the worthiest endeavor, and for the truth eternal in the heavens. Harrison E.

However, | decided after due consideration that it would be unsportsman- like to do so as they are too old and staggering to stand such impertinence. After some reflection | decided that they are really tenderly pitying us for having to step timorously forward into the hard, cruel world. | undertake, then, to show them that they are wasting their time—to protest against this needless pity. We can take it. In the first place what are they worrying about? | disregard their statements that we lack courage to face the facts’, as drivel. As to the facts in question—what are they? Oh, the world is messy at the moment, yes—but this is not the first time. There have been wars—bloody, grueling, tragic; all of it—since the beginnings of man. But peo- ple shudder at the thought of ''total war'', ''wip- ing out civilization , the “murder of mankind , etc., etc. They said practically the same thing the last time except that they thought there would be no next time. There is a difference right there —we, the Younger Generation, are perfectly con- scious that this war now progressing is not the last, nor the next-to-last-even close to that. We may, like so many others, have to face two wars in our lifetimes, since they come at approximately twenty-year intervals. But observe—we are not weak-kneed with horror; we are not cursing our distant forbears for bringing all this upon our youthful heads; as a matter of fact, though we are conscious of our civil duties, at the moment we are worrying whether the Red Sox can take the oppressing Yankees. We prefer that sort of war. Mothers often see a movie like ‘All Quiet on the Western Front'’ and come home with the idea of throwing their children out the window so that they will escape the horrors of such a war. What a silly, though very human reaction! And what a grim, cruel thought! Naturally, one doesn't take that kind of notion seriously but there are perfect- ly serious ideas of transporting children to Wango- Pango for the same reason. By doing so those parents would deprive their children of all the re- markable opportunities for happiness which lurk ARTS mil elm all over the world. There is so much to live for that taking the risk of being involved in a war, no matter how grim and cruel, is a small hardship. The chances are good of keeping clear entirely. What to live for? Art, music, green fields, base- ball, football, food, books, fishing, business, loaf- ing, radio, work, wives, husbands, children, politics, fighting, cars, travel, social climbing, nonsense, writing, poetry, natural history, mysteries, funny papers, friends, overs, plays, wines—liquors, if you like—mountain climbing, practical joking, movies, boxing—what else? All those things to enjoy— hard work one of the best, with problems to face —it all makes a grand existence. We may have to fight off a terrific national debt—all this is the spice of life! How would we like living in a Utopia? Nothing to life but a bowl of cherries— lucrative jobs, peace, etc? It would be a terrible state of affairs. How much better that we must get out and get under’; that there is a burden for us to shoulder? True, if there were only one of us to carry the burden single-handed, like At- las, then we would have reason. for despair. But there are millions of young, capable shoulders to shoulder that burden. And we all intend to shoulder it. We do not intend to be satisfied with being cogs in a wheel. We may be such cogs but we shall strive for personal gains and outstanding achievements. Teamwork is all very well—it is fine, but there is a strong, unrelenting urge to leave one's mark in the world. There will be few such marks but competition is more likely to produce bigger and harder-to-erase marks. A very select few will make history—not, | hope militaristic his- tory. Even if many of us die unknown—even un- savory, if we have had our small measure of happi- ness and satisfaction, there will be little personal regret at dying in such an unpretentious fashion. | have spoken in an optimistic vein, but will close with a higher note of optimism. It may be true that civilization is preparing to hibernate for a few centuries; it may be true that mankind is running a very bad race; if all this is so, don't wait for us to give it a shove in the backward direc- tion—we will grab it by the suspenders and haul it back to its proper level, God willing. Paul Bacon. S(C{r (NOME 9 10 1940 De ba Del= GxAve lee QIN We reserve this page in our Vignette to thank Miss Alice Keehner, the teacher who made this publication possible.

PIS UES) pH rinb SONA OH TOME CLA So eee INE Angelina Lepore. Three cheers for the one and only class presi- dent we ever had! She has worked tirelessly, and unselfishly for us for four years, but she has never been able to do the one required thing—to be in homeroom before the bell rings. Among her successes were the chocolate sale, 3A dance, and best of all that February dance at Barringer. Stephen Carter Tafaro, Jr. Wherever there is a crowd of admir- ing girls you can be sure Steve is in the middle of it, gracefully trying to escape. He is one of our most talented art students, but although he is very modest about it, there is an old saying, You can't hide a light under a bushel basket''. Aside from be- ing Vice-President of our class, Steve was Art Editor of the Vignette, Health Officer, and a member of the baseball team. Erna Friedrick. Erna is really. and truly an all around girl, with a well stocked supply of that trait called personality. All of us have suffered well because of her jokes, and we will be at a loss when we can no longer see her walk into homeroom; tardy as usual. Her ambition? A tuba player. Carolyn Ringenback. Faithful to the Paris designers, Carol tries out all their latest inspirations in clothes and hair-do's. The ef- fects are often very striking. Here's hoping that Carol will, keep on getting as much fun out of life as she is now, and that soon she will hold her own in the designing world. Carol was a mem- ber of the Library Guild. 1974; Ogee VTE CeNGES eae 194 | Emily Abramo. Emily is one of those you will remember longest. Why? Because she is so unselfish, genuine, and unaffected. Her cheerful wit, and ability to converse with everyone will carry Emily far in her future associations. We are sure she will suc- ceed in anything she undertakes. She has been a member of the Personal Staff of the Vignette. William L. Archibald. Archie is one of our happy seniors who possesses a considerable amount of intelligence, and humor—a combination of qualities which you seldom find in one person. His bevy of friends will never permit him to be lonesome. Dur- ing his stay at Arts High he participated in the following activi- ties: Track, Dramatic Club, Biology Club, and the Red Cross. Fred Ascoli. The position of President of the Photo Club is real- ly something considering the short span of a year during which Fred has been an Arts High student. He is also interested in fencing. Fred is one of the more reserved members of the senior class who takes his work quite seriously on the whole. He hopes to be an aeronautical engineer some day, and expects to go to Newark Tech. to prepare for it. Dorothy Bell. ''Belle'’ who is quiet until you know her, is the S. S. S. girl-small, smart, and sweet. In ''Belle'’ we have a friend, sincere, and true. She possesses a jolly, and fun-loving nature which has proved, and will prove a decided asset. Her chief ambition is to become a Medical Secretary. She has been a faithful member of the Choir, and Dramatic Club. INTRA SS RH int SCil nO) (OMe Joel Berkowitz. Fencing and Joel just seem to go together, and why not when he is Captain of our team? He is also a member of ''Salle d'Arms Scafate'’ Fencing Club. Joel's hard work has made our fencing team, one we can well be proud of. He is also a member of the Track Team. We hope that when gradua- tion comes there will be someone who can at least try to fill Joel's shoes. Milton Berman. ''He jumps through the air with the greatest of ease.’ Chap was the school's most valuable high jumper, and the old Alma Mater will surely feel the loss when the final day rolls ‘round. He received his letter while on the '38 team. His pet saying is ‘'Lend me your homework'' showing that his thoughts of school stop at its door. His activities were Track, Red Cross, Dramatic Club, Scope, and Health Council. He in- tends to go to the University of Long Island to take the Physical Education Course. Oksana Bezruchko. Few people know Oksana, and her abilities. She left Arts to go to a New York School, and came back in her senior year. Besides being an artist, she plays the piano like a second Rachmaninoff, and dances her native Czechoslovakian folk dances with ease. With this great amount of talent—well— need we prophesy? While in this school she belonged to the Modern Dance Group, and Choir. She intends to continue in an Art School. Lucille Blum. Although Lucille has been a home student she has never lost interest in the students, and activities of Arts High. She has attended our concerts, Arts High Nite, and mid-year commencement. Lucille, always interested in the finer things of lite such as music, art, and literature, tries her hand at writing and has been Business Manager of the ''Magnet'' the home stu- dents’ yearly publication for three consecutive years. After graduation she hopes to study the operation of various business machines as she wants to be a secretary. 1954 00 ef VAleCGouNsEahelee 194 | J RIS Tal eadel S)iGrin ONt@ME Grace Bowne. A cheerful disposition, and a gay smile are among Grace's many assets. An amiable companion, her friendships are many. Not only has she talent for friendliness, but for art as well. Grace expects to continue at Pratt Institute as a stepping stone to a career in commercial art. She has been a member of the Poster Committee, and the Dramatic Club. Mildred Brooks. She may be an honor student but she's not a goody-goody. Results, after a year in chemistry: a solid knowl- edge of chemistry, one magnificent black sweater knitted as she absorbed Mr. Lowry's lectures, and a head start on another. Her only fault is that she doesn't air her learning often enough. She was instrumental in preparing this book for you. Theresa Catino. ‘'Terry'’ is one of the more energetic workers of our class. A proof of this is all the work she carries out in the office after school hours. She is one of those people who looks ahead so—she went to summer school and thus eliminated History and English from her schedule this past term. John Chung. John is one of those original people through, and through, even when it comes to excuses. One day in History near the end of a test Miss Kruck noticed that John was not partaking of the privilege given to the rest of the class. Being asked why he had not taken the test John replied, ‘'l’m sorry, but | wasn't given any paper.'' Now to turn to more serious topics, John is a very active, and enthusiastic Fencing Club member. d Nis Sy et See ea George Cohen. We have many ‘men with few words’ but. we also have a man with many words; he is the one, the only George. He is not bashful, but he did refuse to visit the girls’ Campus Shop’ to buy himself an earmuffed cap, even with a girl as company. George has belonged to many clubs in school such as Track, Cross Country, Red Cross, Dramatics, Health Council, and was the Sports Editor of the Scope. He intends to become a beeg bizness'’ man after he takes a course at New York University. @ Anne Go-Cucciniellos §. Geen bute! menunarvemicsonem.oimnce phrases best associated with Anne. Every morning at ten o'clock she can be seen walking down the corridor munching graham crackers or in the cafeteria peeling her favorite fruit “an orange . Cuchie'’ coming from Orange, has been with us for only two years, but she certainly has made up for lost time. She excels in Art and Sewing. Seriously, Anne your smiling countenance, sense of humor and ladylike manners will be missed by all your friends. She has been an industrious worker for our yearbook, and the Scope. Her chief ambition is to become a sewing teacher. Olive Cummings. Where, Oh, Where has our little Olive gone, Oh, Where! Oh Where can she be! That is a familiar phrase when Olive “is'’ but now it's “was'’ around. Her ability to ap- pear, and disappear have led some of her many friends to be- lieve she might have Mandrake, yes, the magician, for a close friend. ages.’ He has made many friends with his quiet manners, and interest in everyone. Arts High has the pleasure of claiming Duke'’ again in the fall because he will come back and take a P. G. course in order to have the proper requirements to enter a business school. Alvin Daniels. Alvin is one of the smallest boys of our class, but he is true to the saying that, Good things come in small pack- 19:40 VIG NiE ete eseee leona) Louise D'Amato. Louise does not have much to say, but we must remember that Silence is wisdom’. Modest, cultured, and refined describes her very well. She has been a great asset to our class although she has been with us only two years. Louise is also a fine dressmaker. More power to you! Viola Davis. Viola is always very gay and carefree, seeming never to worry about anything. Her cheerful attitude toward life will carry her far on the road to success. Viola expects to enter Bordentown to take up costume designing. May she achieve success in her chosen field of work. Mary Descoteau. The name trouble really fits Mary to a T''. It was bestowed upon her when she was just a wee sopho- more. Mary is the kind of trouble that is very pleasing and pleasant to have around. Our greatest shock was when Mary actually completed a skirt in sewing. It took her about one year to finish it. John Eksted. John is just a newcomer to this school, but his good looks and genia! nature have made him popular. He says little, but seems to think a lot. John expects to become a mechanical engineer and will enter Newark Tech. in September. PAIRWS lain Syleia@ ene © Helen Fabiano. The world could use more people like Helen. She speaks only when there is something important to be said, and she is one of our star pupils. Full of fun, and quite amus- ing, Helen can be depended upon when good work is needed. Matteo Fallivene. ''Mat'' never fails to have a cheery hello for anyone, and his witty remarks have won him many friends. He is interested in commercial art, and Fawcett Art Institute will claim him in the fall. He has been a faithful member of Red Cross, Gym Club, Board of Aldermen, Swimming and Tennis Clubs. Katherine Filoso. Kay is one of the best-liked people in our class, because of her friendliness and wit. Dark-eyed, and full of the dare-devil spirit, she makes fun wherever she goes. Her beautiful curly hair may be her pet despair, but it is the envy of every girl in the class. Josephine Finnocchiaro. We have known Josephine four years. Quietly and obligingly she has gone through her high school days. Her friendliness and willingness to help have brought her a great many friends. D984, On VG NG EG Te Eee Evelyn Furst. Evie, in her own quiet way, has skimmed through high school in three years. Being another one of those quiet people, she is little known among her classmates. Her populari- ty took a hop, skip and jump when it was found out that she can really cut a rug. She intends to go to Drake's Business College. Robert Joseph Fuss. Bob believes in the W. P. A., and in its slogan—''take it slow’. His store of humorous stories has often drawn a group of students around him, and is one of the chief reasons for so many tardy students. When you see him with that certain glint in his eyes you wonder Little man, what now? Joseph Galdieri. The rootin-tootin sax player of our class, Joe, thrives on music. He is an ''A'' Music student, and regular mem- ber of Miss Eddy's history club. He has been an active mem- ber of our orchestra and intends to go deeper into the realms of the music world. Robert William Gawarkawicz. First you see a bright red jacket, and then you see Bob. His complete nonchalance has us all wishing we could adopt some of it. Bob is not conceited, but he does say that ''One who loves himself shall have no rivals’’. He is a member of the Gym Club and Track team. Moen ATRaT SlCr hig S:C_F1©O) O'L 4 INS ae Seon we Sle) Beatrice Geltzeiler. ‘Variety and Individuality are the spice of life . These have been Beattie's standards for the past four years. She has never followed in anyone's footsteps, and yet she is an active member of many clubs. Her activities have consisted of Red Cross, Social Problems Club, Mathematics Club, Dramatic Club and the Safety Patrol. Julius Alan Ginsberg. Julius is neat, suave and polite, and what anyone would call the perfect gentleman. His art achievements of the past four years are worthy of applause. Julius intends to continue the study of commercial art in Michigan University. All we can say is that success is apparent. Jerry Granik. You'd never know it to look at him, but oh—the knowledge he possesses. When he first arrived as a little freshie, he still wore knee pants. Now he is forgiven for his ''short com- ings’ and we all know that with all his talents he does not have to worry about a future. Victor Grasso. Victor is so stubborn that he can always see the sunny side of life. Whenever he met with misfortune he took it like a true sportsman, and forgot about it. His activities, con- sist of Boxing Club, Swimming Club, Baseball and Gym Clubs. Columbia University will be his address in the fall. 1 9F4: Oe Vale Nees LAesel Morton Harelik. If a helping hand is needed, be it friend or stranger, you will always find Tex willing. This quality has and will gain him many friends. He was advertising manager of the Vignette, and member of the Scope staff. Texas University will claim him next year. Dorothy Madeline Hart. Natural charm is a rare possession and Dot is one of its few owners. She surprised us all at the senior dance by showing us that she can really jump (she is a jitterbug to you clams that don't know jive talk). She was a member of the Patrol, Library Guild and German Club. Dorothy Ellen Hermes. Please don't picture Miss Hermes with winged sandals, and a crooked sword clasped in a muscular hand. She is no rela tion to the messenger of the Greek Gods, and besides, she would rather dance anyway. She belonged to the Choir, All-City Chorus, Patrol and the Modern Dance Group. Elizabeth Hewson. Here is one gal that can never be said to be over imposing. She arrives on time, goes to classes and then home. Beth has miracuously retained the reputation of one who always does her homework. She belonged to the Photo Club and the Fencing Team and is also an ardent archer. She in- tends to go to Pratt. ISIN ESS InHeilal © SGA seo e 4d oN@ Pe See ay cle) bdo Joseph Frederick Holmes. There are many fine characteristics about Joseph that have made him known to be an excellent and true friend. He is master of the piano, member of the choir and swing band. In the fall he expects to enter Morgan University. Chester Leo Jablonsky. ‘'Ches'’ as he is known by his fellow students is one of our more quiet members of the class and one of the best artists. He believes that clubs are for the frivolous but he has faithfully attended the Saturday Sculpture classes. Here's hoping Ches will forge way ahead in fields that he may choose. Carroll James. Carroll's wit is dry, but we must admit some of it is clever. His attitude towards his work including the one meant for home is ‘'there's always tomorrow’. Although he is witty, Carroll can be obstinate and stubborn at times. He also contributes his share of jokes in Chemistry class, and puns in History class even when they are not called for. On the whole classes would not be the same without him. Pauline Kaminsky. ‘The fashion designer's ideal'’. Paul is the pet model of the Costume design class. When not posing she does some professional looking work herself. Her cynical and humorous literature caused more than one smothered giggle in Health Class, much to Miss A's disgust. She belonged to the Chess and Checker Club, and Photo Club. 91400 Vel CENIES eine ln] Albert Kantrowitz. The serious striving mind of Albert will Ss some day give him a great advantage. Although you don't hear much about him, he is sure to flash out occasionally as history and English bring out all of his oratory power. He ex- pects to enter the University of California in the fall. GE Zz Warren Knapp. | am very fond of the company of ladies , quotes Warren as he gaily pursues mother love. Aside from his absorbing outside interests he manages to spend an appalling amount of time in school actually working. Warren's interest in sports showed in his devotion to the Track and Cross Country Team and the Rol-O-Pals. I I { Ben L. Kohn, Jr. Ben, excels as a student, and a gentleman. Earnest and sincere, he's molded of the stuff that makes a man. f In Ben, we find one who is always getting the most out of a thing. One never hears much of Ben in the classroom, but when called upon to recite he is never at a loss. He has been a mem- ber of the Track Team and the Creative Writing Club. The University of California will claim him in September. Mathew Lazarowicz. Just tell a joke and 'Matty'’ will burst out Giggling'’. His sense of humor, and personality have made him a popular boy in the senior class. Because of these quali- ties, we know he will make many of his patients happy during his career as a doctor. Next fall he expects to enter Minnesota University. He has been a member of the Track Team, Cross Country Team, Baseball, Alderman, Patrol, Scope Representative, CS) and Chess and Checker Club. Y) INAS [mean © Sy (Chin (OTE Robert MacCauley. Although Robert has only been with us a year, he is now a full-fledged Artie. He is Central's loss and Arts gain. It was there that Bob played on the football and base- ball teams. Here he is known for something more outstanding, his smile. Besides being the possessor of a sparkling personality, he has really a remarkable memory which must have been quite an asset when it came to Muzzey. After a P. G. course at St. Benedict's, Bob intends to go to Long Island University. Maddalena Maisano. Lee is vivacious and always chuck full of quips. When this fun-loving young lady entered Arts High she brought with her plenty of personality She can really be proud of the clothes she makes. In case you missed on this one, she won a Sewing Machine for a beautiful black winter coat she made two seasons ago. Raymond Matthews. Small and smart, but Ray can't seem to get to school on time. Almost every morning Miss Eddy would say, ‘Matthews, late, see you after school.’ A feeble little, Me? would be heard from the other side of the room. He has belonged to the Track Team and Vignette Staff. Frank Melito. This lad needs very little introduction. ''Shorty ' may be small in stature, but he is great in mind. Frank has a smile for everyone, a personality that has built up a host of friends. He has been a member of the Gymnastic Club, and the Choir. His chief interest is music. May he succeed in his chosen career. 924) OR eevee NcE silee 194 | Edward Merck. Edward, one of those fellows with a vivacious personality, possesses the happy-go-lucky attitude. Believe it or not, he has his serious moments, and they are quite frequent. He has won his third letter on the Track Team and his work in the Gymnastic Club speaks for itself. Eddy is very talented in Art, but his ambition is to be a trumpet player in a top-notch orchestra. The Rock of the comic strip certainly has nothing on our Edward. Gertrude Miller. ‘‘Chartruese, ca acul and Gert.’ A rare com- bination, but you most always find them together. Here is one girl we all know so well and yet we know so little about her. However, one thing we are sure of, is that she is not lacking in subtle humor. She was a member of the Chess and Checker Club, Scope, and was Class Alderman. She intends to go to New Jersey State Teachers’ College in Newark. dN =i Melvin Miller. Melvin entered our school just this term so we don't know much about him except that he is a likeable fellow. He signed up immediately for the Vignette Staff and burned up a good deal of sole leather tracking down ads. We think he would make a success as a salesman. Beatrice Pat Milroad. Headline! Beatrice ran away with the show! That is committing an unforgivable crime in the thea- trical world, but we are still applauding her ‘Granny’ in the play 'Sparkin'’ last Arts High Night. Besides being an ac- complished actress she has been a member of the Modern Dance group, Scope Reporter, Scope Representative, Chess and Checker Club, Banker, and Photo Club.

High marks, and everything—now look at his picture again. Anything familiar? No, Allah. Eleanor Nechwort. ‘Sober, steadfast and demure’, is Eleanor. She has been with us for the past three years. Although the above description is true once in a while you can see a mis- chievous smile in her lips and a gleam in her eyes. Bette Nieman. She is one of the nicest girls we know. Bette always has an abundance of merriness centered about her. She is also a talented art student. Bette won first prize in the Red Cross Poster Contest. As a hobby, her interest goes to chess playing—a game in which she excels. She is also, one of the best dressed girls in our class. Bette was a member of the Chess and Checker Club and was Personal Editor for the Vig- nette. Margaret Nieswand. Sweet, simple and shy in appearance, Mar- garet knows her work, and how to rise to the top of everything she undertakes. It took the Roller Skating Club to reveal to us what a skater we have in our Margaret. Now that another secret is out, we know that she will spend many pleasant hours on wheels. 1924, 0 8 VelEC Nail aval Jean Odell. She has the smile that is a passport to friendship. Her shining personality has won her many friends in and out of school. Although her hair is—can it be called red?—Mr. Rich persists in calling her ''Blondie'', much to her dismay. Her out- side interests have been so absorbing that Jean's only school ac- tivity has been the Dramatic Club. Dorothy Oliver. An eruption could not change the earth as much as a summer vacation transformed Dotty. A year ago she was seen, and not heard, but now it seems to be the other way around. Dorothy has a smile, and helping hand to lend to each, and every classmate. These traits have won for her many last- ing friendships. Salvatore Pedicini. Sal is a well known ''figure'’ at Arts High. He has gained fame because of his ‘V-shaped torso’. If Sal's shoulders continue to get any wider, he is going to have difficul- ty in walking through an average size door. His athletic ability has led him to join the boxing, gymnastic and track teams. He will continue his education at Panzer. dustrious students. Due to the job he has held after school, he has not had time to participate in many extra-curricular activi- ties. He is a conscientious worker who ex cels in all his studies. His chief interest is Industrial Design. May he succeed in his chosen career. Irving Pollock.

He was one of the supporting pillars of the orchestra for four years. We needn't wish him luck for he has already made a name for him- self as a hot trombonist, but we do wish him success. Harold Potts. ‘The man of few words doesn't have to take so many back’. Harold must have learned this early in life, be- cause it has become his policy. He has done some pretty nifty drawings in school and we hope he will continue the good work. He expects to continue his schooling in California. Gee ee James Francis Powell. ‘One of the best''—looking athletes and all around. Jimmy is a ladies’ man in moderate form, but is not aware of it himself. His friends are many and enemies few. He was one of our best runners and received three letters while on the '38, '39 and '40 teams. He went out for the track team in his freshman year. His intentions point to Seton Hall College. Vivian Madeline Ransley. ‘'On with the show'' is a famous line and Bibs has adopted it. Her outstanding work in Will O' the Wisp'' and the Amateur Show in '38 made her known’ to everyone in the school. She wants to teach dancing as well as dance herself.

Seymour is well-known around the school for his happy-go-lucky manner and his cornet. His friendly atti- tude toward life will carry him far on the road to success. He has a host of friends because he is so lively and full of pep. His friends claim he is the best cornetist in these parts. He is a member of the Orchestra, and Choir. Seymour will enter Er- nest Williams School of Music, and later, New York University. Elmer Rosenthal. ''Red'', as he is commonly called by his friends, is another newcomer to our class. In the two years that he has been with us he has made a place for himself in our sports world. Besides being on the Boxing Team, Swimming Team, and in the Tennis Club, Elmer was also one of those faithful Baseball players. (If you can remember that far back.) His sense of humor and good spirit will win for him hosts of friends at the University of Southern California where he will continue his edu- cation. Jeseph Russomano. Just a jitterbug at heart, that's Joe. He has attended every dance given by the school and has won several of the prizes for 'jumping''. His other activities include Baseball, Boxing Club, Tennis Club and Red Cross. JNA TPS ial Crile HOO E Muriel Charlotte Salov. Footlights, grease paint and glamour equal Muriel. We ail remember her in Poor Maddelina’ and 'Minikan and Manikin'. She not only acts, but recites poetry and won first prize in the Ali-State Gunga Din Contest. Her great ambition is to be another Bernhardt and to teach drama- tics. She was President of the Dramatic Club, Secretary of Stu- dent Court and a member of the Modern Dance group and the Choir. She will study Dramatics at Syracuse. George Schell. George is one of our quiet seniors who never interferes with other people's affairs. Don't let George's quiet- ness fool you. He is a good student and well-liked by all his classmates. He is undecided about the future. Geraldine Schneider. ''On wings of song she will soar to the heights of the scale and fame.’ Jerry's voice is well-known among us. She has participated in many vocal contests and other musical events. We are sure she will reach her goal as the first lady of song. She belonged to the Red Cross, Drama- tic Club, President of the Choir, Scope, 3A, 4B, 4A Organiza- tion, Vignette Staff, City and State Choruses. Ruth E. Schneider. ''She walks through the hall with the greatest of ease, this dark young maiden, as free as the breeze’. Ruth has been a member of the Library Guild for over a year. � Al- though this is her only school activity she has supported all of our drives and dances faithfully. Good luck, Ruthie. [940m Se Vel Gs NEG aig 954s Meyer Schwartz. Arts High, employs no detectives and since Meyer will not talk we are left in the dark as to his past, present, and future. His policy of observing the 'silence is golden rule ial be a good example for the chatterers in our graduating class. Edward Stanek. 'Solid’’ is the word for Stanek. Bumping into him in the halls is like running into the Rock of Gibralter. Ed's work in the Gymnastic Club is quite outstanding. Chemistry would never have been the subject it was without those witty Stanek remarks to speed things up. We wish Ed and his drums luck in the future. Egon Stark. Egon's policy is saying little, hearing a lot, and thinking more. High marks in every subject and a great deal of art ability are his outstanding features. To some Egon may appear shy, but to this we answer, know him better and you will know a true friend. Harold Sweet. Harold is always very carefree, never seeming to worry about anything, but that philosophy is not tops for every- one. His willingness to please everyone has won for him many friends. If you are to locate him anywhere in the building, just look for Meyer, Milton or either of the George's, and you're sure to find Harold. OIE SS An eala) SCO MOMOME J Ne Gea See ong Vale) 31 Sam Tarnofsky. ''Foot'’ is a boy who manages to get along with everyone. If cheerfulness leads to success, he certainly has noth- ing to worry about regarding his future. He has been a mem- ber of the Swimming Team, Track Squad, Chess and Checker Club, Red Cross and Health Council. Alabama University is his next stop. Norman Lowell Tobin. The little man with big ideas. Many girls remember the time he was playing guardian angel to the poor little freshman ‘frat doggie’ and made him kiss every girl that came into reaching distance. Toby's witty humor is fa- mous for its compiete bluntness. A fitting description for him is ''Riot and Revolution’. He was a very active member of the 4B and 4A Organizations. His future now is in the hands of the University ot Wisconsin. Harold Traberman. Sports, humor, personality—that's Harold, in one breath. He has a very good sense of humor, and always can find a bright side to every situation that arises. This has afforded him many friends. He has been a member of the Track team and Vignette Staff. Jeanette Voltaggio. Quiet and reserved, Jeanette goes her way, doing her share of the work and lending a helping hand to who- ever needs it. | know it's hard to believe, but Jeanette like every one else has silly moments. She believes that, Silence is Golden'' and surely has given us proof of that. 1974500 Ve leCG. NG EC ia TEe 194 | Anna Walker. Anna is one of the more quiet members of the whole class. She, too, was shy about being interviewed, but we have noticed that she's quite a jitterbug. Isabel Warner. Braids and smiles are Isabel's magnetic powers. One or the other, or perhaps both always attract your attention. She never bothered much with extra activities, but went merrily on her way ignoring no one. Her activities were Chess and Checker Club, 3A, 4B and 4A Organizations. She intends to go to business college. Dorothy Jane Watson. Cheerfulness plus. Dot's pet hobby is making coats, and she has made so many in sewing class that she is almost as experienced as Miss Johnson. Her private vocabu- lary has made more than one person raise an eyebrow. If she ever said, ''Gee, sharp stuff, you mess’, don't take offense, it was a compliment a la Watson. She was Class Captain, mem- ber of Red Cross, Patrol and Rol-O-Pals. Hazel Jane Weakliem. Flash! a new model stepped into the limelight, she's tall, blonde, and her name's Hazel. Truly, friends, she is really material for the Model's Guild. Surely she'll reach this goal. Hazel sometimes is thought to be snobbish, but those who know her think differently. She belonged to the Dramatic Club, Modern Dance and Library Guild. Her future says Modeling School. A Neat Seto Nl AgReieS es HiliGihia SCF ©. OL ies) WwW George Weber. George doesn't know what worry is, and h’s main objective seems to be to have a good time. He is one of our gayest, wittiest and most popular classmates. Being in his company means being in good spirits. He has been a member of the Scope, Red Cross, Alderman, Mathematics Club and Biology Club. He expects to enter New York University in the fall. Chester Wroz. Chester is among the more agreeable boys of our class. He is a very polite gentleman. His major interests are his violin and the orchestra. Always out of place and in his eyes is his black hair, but he never seems to care. He is one of those individuals who appreciate the finer things of life, such as art and classical music. Stella A. Zdanowski. The more quiet (?) side of a famous com- bination, Stell, in her own right is as amusing as the rest. She takes her work more seriously (again?) and profits by it. The Red Cross and the Rol-O-Pals have been her past activities— her future is Newark State Teachers. Freda Zemel. Freda is one of those rare phenomona who make high school in less than four years, and we are glad to have her in our class with us. Her nickname is ''Bublishki'', and she looks just like it with her long beautiful hair. There probably isn't one girl in school who hasn't asked to see her hair down. She belongs to the Red Cross, Dramatic Club, Alderman and Scope. She will attend the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts. PETG MOLES MOUKCAN TEE IF 1 194 | Max Zenchuck. Who has the most school spirit? Max, of course. He has boosted almost every club in the school and sold tickets to everything, even the pink elevator. His successor will have to work to take his place. He belonged to the Chess and Checker Club, Patrol, and was Manager of the Fencing Team. Gladys Barbara Zickgraf. Gladys and Stella are as inseparable as a cat from its meow, separately Gladys is Gladys. Her gig- gle is ready to be heard at any time. One of the funniest in- cidents ever supplied by her was the morning she arrived minus her voice. When spoken to she peeped and chirped till she acquired the name ‘Peep’. She was a very active member of the Rol-O-Pals. j 4 a i = pee ik Paul Bacon. He is never seen dancing with “les jitterbugs , but he fools them all at home with his records. His collection is old school dixieland, but he boasts Bob Crosby at every oppor- tunity. His interesting conversation, and odd wit make him an interesting companion. He has been a member of the Vignette Staff, Vice President of the Dramatic Club, and Fencing Club. Elynor Benjamin. The class’ claim to the best-dressed-school-girl title is Ely. It's too bad Arts hasn't a campus, because that's where she belongs. Ely's vivid personality should carry her far in any field she should choose to follow. Julius Jennis. Sometimes you wo nder whether he's present at all, he's so quiet. Another man of few words. Red took dramatics in his senior year to help him talk more. When he finished, he sounded like a mixture of Hamlet and Mickey Rooney. Now he's afraid to talk! He wants to continue his art work. Warren Lee. There probably are few artists in our class who haven't at least one drawing of Warren, for he has been Miss Stewart's favorite model for the past four years. He is also a feminine favorite according to all reports. May ail his later years be as carefree as his school years have been. Tom Passaretti. Tom is one of our mystery men. He can never be found when he is needed, particularly in class. Tom is known for his dancing and the fact that he resembles so many people. | guess he just has a face and personality that pleases. Josephine Pecora. Quietly and unassumingly this young lady has gone through her four years of high school. Josephine is one of the more conservative students. She has turned out work she can well be proud of. She has been Assistant Head Banker since the beginning of the Banking System here in school. More power’ to you, Skippy, in your further pursuance of the Art course. Anthony Salvato. Anthony was shy about having his picture taken and equally shy about being interviewed. He looks like a strong, silent man. Reading seems to be one of his chief hobbies for he claims to have read all the good adventure stories in 415. NR YS Unllteleh Se Ia eMoue at Ne eae SS geen ee, we ur CLASS HISTORY Dedicated to Angelina Lepore, for her untiring efforts in behalf of the class. It is almost four years ago since we threw aside our grammar school books to assume a new, more mature life—High School. This thought filled us with no little anticipation. We contemplated meeting new fnenus and joining clubs previously esoteric. On the whole, we ap- peared on the memorable first morning, a diffident if not frightened lot. The time from that day to the present has passed rapidly—much too rapidly—and now we are about to be graduated. At the moment, how- ever, we do not wish to look towards the future, rather, to look back on the days gone by, those days that marked our high school careers, the days we can never forget. But, let us not think of ''those days” as indivi- duals, but as a group. Let's think of the joys we've shared togeher, our little intrigues, troubles, and SOrrOWS. The first steps toward the molding of anything nearly like a compact group was the election of officers in our junior year. Angelina Lepore took the honored chair as head of our class to help us win renown. Carol Ringenback assumed the role of treasurer while Erna Friedrick was made chief scribe and preserved our records. Our first event as an ‘organized organization was the 3B dance, which was worthy of our class in every possible way. As the saying goes, we packed 'em in'’ to the full capacity of our gym- nasium. Maybe it was just a little difficult to do anything in the line of terpsichorean effort, and maybe we couldn't even breathe properly, but it all served to spur us on towards an even greater event and certainly swelled the funds in our treasury. One day the steamship Hendrick Hudson found herself the proud bearer of a gay, carefree, a little bit boisterous but still swell crowd of 3A Artites. Everything on our boat ride to Bear Mountain was practically perfect. Nothing was lost, strayed, or stolen. No fatalities occurred (even Coochi ' didn't tip her canoe), and no one who shouldn't have, missed the returning boat. We ate, danced, sang, laughed and were happy. It rained and stormed on our way home, but instead of dampen- ing our good spirits, it merely added to the vari- ety, and made it a day lacking nothing. 1940 Vale Cu Nieaiaier Our '4B 'dom' brought us the dignity charac- teristic of seniors(?), plus a grave need for funds. Hence the ingenious plan of selling candy was proposed. It wasn't long before the fame of 4B candy'' was spread throughout the school. Due to the excellent cooperation of the student body in buying (not to mention our excellent salesmen), only a very few, we are sure, had the misfortune of not at least sampling our delicious patties. A great virtue of the class was brought out by our 4B term dance,—that virtue being: originality. We conceived the idea of having a barn dance. This in itself was not new, but what other dance had ever been complete with jugs of cider for door prizes, apples everywhere you looked, and deputy sheriffs to put you in a crepe paper jail when you stole them? It is needless to say that it was all a prime success. And so we finally attained the stand of won- drous wise senior A's, with the wisdom all supreme to run one more dance. It was our first night af- fair, and by all means surpassed anything previous- ly attempted. We were fortunate enough to have the use of Barringer's gym for the accommodation of the crowd we hoped to have. We were for- tunate enough to have the crowd we hoped for. In both the social and financial ends of it, all our fondest dreams came true. There are some songs too sweet to sing, so all we can say is, a good time was had by all. Yes, we had our moments of fear and discour- agement. Now we can look back on those fears and laugh at thém. But we must also look to the future, which now looms up before us larger than ever. We can hardly say what this future holds for us. Some of us will continue our education in the higher halls of learning; others less fortunate, will obtain their advanced education from the antediluvian ‘school of hard knocks’. In either case—Good Luck! At any rate, we all have some goal we seek to reach. We all have in mind some tall mountain whose top just reaches the stars. Although we may never climb right to the summit, we can ad- mire the many lights that steadily grow brighter as we march—upward! 1941 THE CLASS WILL We' the members of the Class of 1940 of Arts High School, being of sound rnind, and body with no undue influence or malice aforethought, do hereby make known this our Last Will, and Testament.

The affair was called the height of social elegance by columnists Gawarkiewicz, Ginsburg and Chung. The guests were ushered into Arts High's new spacious gym (capacity unknown) by Dick Pols, who, although feeble, is a fine example of the dignity of advanced years. Announcing the guests was Mathew Lazarowitz. Matt is still cutting up as one of the community's leading phy- siCians. As can be expected, the first arrival was Nor- man Tobin. His fortune was made selling canned goods—mostly corn. He is now able to afford a chauffeur as able as William Archibald. In Nor- man's company was that wealthy society matron, Caro! Ringenbach. You remember, Carol was our class treasurer . . . There was certainly no lack of variety in the fine, and otherwise, occupations of our honorable guests. It seems that George Cohen and our leg artist, Pauline Kaminsky, have collaborated and are now the owner and chief at- traction, respectively, at the Theatre d'Empire .. . Angelina Lepore, former president of our class, was nursing a broken heart. It seems that Henry 4A Dance Vines told her that she had teeth like the stars, and everyone knows that they come out at night . . . Elmer Rosenthal was formerly a mem- ber of the forest ranger service. However, he found it necessary to retire due to the many false fire alarms sent out from the vicinity where he was known to be. He is now pinch-hitting for a burnt out stop light . . . Bob Fuss and Hazel Weakleim were inseparable all evening. A few weeks ago they met in a revolving door, and have been going around together ever since. A great deal of commotion was caused by George ''Soap Box'' Weber who insisted upon bursting forth in a barrage of words upon the pro's and cons of the recent election. His ardent followers, Helen Fabiano, Eleanore Nechwart, Isa- belle Warner, Theresa Catino and Grace Bowne protected him from a storm of vegetables. While all this hullabullo was going on, Madeline Maisano and her sewing machine sat peacefully in a corner, putting the finishing touches on a dress she had hoped to wear, but didn't have time to finish. She was being watched by our professional fencer, Joel Berkowitz, who is now president of The Picket Wire and Fence Corporation . . . Ben Kohn, the starving poet, didn't bring his artist wife, Gertrude Miller along. He came alone because he hadn't sufficient funds for two whole tickets . . We were surprised to find that handsome Steve Ta- faro came all by his lonesome. Wondering why he 1940 Val -CrNSEsiaie Ee hadn't married, Elizabeth Robertson asked him where his heart was. She got the following re- ply: go straight down my neck, first turn to the jetty nee. It was expected that in the course of the even- ing Vivian Ransley would entertain us. However, Vivian has never quite recovered from the results of her efforts to solicit advertisements for the Vig- nette, and so she was not physically fit to dance. In her place Madame Geraldine Schneider, of the Sing-a-poor Opera Company, honored us with a few selections. Underworld's Erna Friedrich, a gun moll who does not appreciate the finer things of lite, wanted to give a lecture on ''Why Crime Pays’. Through the efforts of Sal Pedicini, who has muscled in on the wrestling business, Erna re- tired to the Ladies Powder Room where she found Ruth ‘'Hedy Schneider demonstrating the proper method of wearing a turban, for the benefit of Broadway's Muriel Salov. It was disappointing to note that many of the alumni did not attend, for various reasons. Due to the trend for long skirts, Anne Cuccinello has joined Cohen chorus and put her famous legs in a cast. Her work claimed her as well as Harold Tra- berman, who is one of her most ardent fans. Jesuel Soraci was busy inventing a burst of sunshine for a rainy day. Morton Harelik, the wealthy Texas landowner, was busy trying to collect rent from the Mexican border . . . Miss Emily Abramo, recently made house mother at Princeton, was busy caring for her little boys. We also came into conflict with the Butchers’ Association, which threw a meat ball on the same evening. It claimed Matteo Fallivene, Sam Tar- nofsky, Harold Moreines, Warren Knapp, Evelyn Furst and Jean O'Dell. They have all been made Knights of the Round Steak ... We were ex- tremely fortunate to have Harold Sweet attending to the refrigeration and air conditioning. We fig- ured that he should know all about it since he had just completed thirty days in the cooler... A disturbance of minor importance was created when Albert Kantrowicz accidentally pushed Gladys Zic- kaff. She lost her temper and we don't blame her. Why should she be pushed around? After all she's not Thanksgiving . . . Bette Nieman put aside her designs on young men for this one night and furnished the beautiful decorations . . . Bob MacCaulay, who made his dough in the bakery business, acted as caterer... As an added attrac- tion for entertainment there was Bea 'wee Bonnie'' Milroad and her best voice giving out with some swell Songs. tantle sss ste And miracuously enough, Mildred Brooks has finally given up her knitting, and so we come to the end of our yarn. 194 | DRESDalaGA aT} © ON To Mr. Weber we dedicate this page.

There was no way out. | had come in of my own free will and there was nothing | could do about it. Suddenly the tense silence was broken by groans in the adjoining room. | began to glance wildly about searching for a means of escape when all at once my wandering eyes caught the door slow- ly beginning to open. | sat bolt upright as if struck by lightning. Moving toward me was a tall figure clad in white. It was coming for me! | was next! It came closer and | could hear the click of its footsteps echo down the long, dark corridor. Finally it was beside me. | shuddered. Then it said in a warm gentle voice, “Are you ready, son? Which tooth hurts? Edward Skolutsky.

Slowly | opened it 1940 VACCINE TE pts trembling with fear, and there before me stood an extremely old man. His white hair was covered by a hat which was dripping wet. A worn bare coat sheltered his thin, withered body. The wrinkles in his face gave evidence of many years of hard struggle. When | looked at the penniless figure | could not resist giving him some food. After being thanked earnestly for the small amount | had given him, he pulled his coat up over his ears, and proceeded on his way, into the rain once more. Selma Maurer. CONQUEST OF THE AIR How strange that man must look for aid In order to obtai n the heights, While little birds, may, unafraid, Explore the boundless ceiling God has made. A tiny gnat disdains the sight Of such a monster as the king Of beasts must use so that he might Hale the mystic, joyous, breath of flight. The song the lowly bat may hear Is audible but unto they Whose fortune it has been to near The sparkling world above this hapless sphere. The Fates, perhaps, could not agree That man might or might not, have wings; The destined lord of land and sea Was he the sovereign of air to be? Two Fates said no. The other cried, Then we must in him plant an urge To be with earth dissatisfied; A pressing wish in heaven to confide. Constructive skill has been inspired, And many masterpieces raised; A tribute to man's soul, which, fired, May create Art, to be by gods admired. But long he languished on the ground And ventured only on the sea Until at last, the secret found, He was no more by earthly fetters bound! And yet, though he may safely soar Beyond the boundaries he knew Existed in the days before Some daring pioneer used Nature's lore. And flew. Is he the less confined? Or, will he, like Ulysses, seek Another field to tax his ‘mind, A new conquest to add to those behind? Paul Bacon. 1941 REPRIEVE! Friday, the day of his exam! Cold sweat poured down his face as he entered school that morning. Although a swift wind was blowing, he still was roasting under his flimsy sweater and thin, almost shreaded pants. He felt faint and tired, more ready for sleep than a hectic day at school. But now, here he was, ready to start a new day. Absent-mindedly he found his way to his locker He looked about him and saw strange lines on usually familiar faces. They told of a lack of sleep. Probably they had stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to study. They were lucky! Lucky? Ha! Ask them. Do they think so? Probably mad because of the extra work they had had to go through in preparation. But he, he had to leave to work right after school—hard manual work, backbreaking cases to handle, fast orders to fill. He got home late each night, much too tired to study, no matter what the reason. He would be very happy to stay at home and study if he had the chance. But— Just then the bell rang, startling the boy back to cold stark, realization. He left his seat and be- gan to walk down the corridor. Although it was fully crowded, he was unaware of the people around him. and then to homeroom. Once again, a cold sweat broke down his back, chilling him to the very marrow. He placed him- self in the predicament of a sentenced convict about to be led to his execution. Had the test been for Monday instead, he would have been able to study on Sunday, but now—nothing could save him. As he opened the door, doom bearing down upon him swiftly a cheerful whisper greeted his ears. Teacher's absent—we have a substitute today! ' Norman L. Tobin. ZE GREAT MR. FINTA From the way my mother had described him, | had expected to see a person resembling a big shaggy bear’. The day he arrived at our country home was one of great excitement and prepara- tion. It was an uncomfortably hot afternoon, when the sounding of our trumpeting horn heralded the arrival of the famous sculptor. There was a mad scramble to the stone steps, and then a s udden pause of shyness as the door of the car opened, and out came an enormous ARTS ml Edn man, somewhat on the installment plan, unfolding first a long pair of legs, then a great hulking torso, and finally a head. But what a head! Two shaggy brows overhung the most piercing hypnotic eyes | have ever seen; high Asiatic cheek-bones bridged by a magnificently proportioned nose, and great jowls protruding over a flowing black silk tie. As he smiled, in response to the introduction, two rows of perfect white teeth glistened in contrast to his Indian-bronzed skin. He wiped the perspiration from his lofty brow, saying over and over again, in a most unexpected- ly soft voice, Oh, ze bee-u-ti-fool coun-tree, sooth bee-u-ti-fool trees—come, | tell you about my tree. Did you ever read ze story of ze ''In- dian cherr tree’, by me—ze great Mr. Finta. No? Zen | will tell you. And so, on and on, during his entire visit, the most fascinating, exciting stories poured forth in his broken, but charming, English. He told of his childhood in Hungary, on the plains, for he was a Magyar. He told of his days as a herdboy; of how his father had taught him to carve as soon as he was old enough to hold a knife; how he grew up and became famous as a sculptor, working in the famous Rodin's studio in Paris, and later de- signing sculptures that are to be seen in many fa- mous museums and parks all over the world. The week-end flew by, and for days afterwards, his radiant personality shone over our modest country home, and we looked forward to his next visit with great pleasure. Rodney Winfield. WHEN | GROW UP When | grow up | want to be an artist skilled and true. I'll make my colors clear and strong and paint the sky's deep blue. And if | make a sailing ship across the sea to ride, The ship will look as if it sails and frolics with the tide. I'll work each day with brush and paint and sketch with ease and care. For sculpture work and charcoal tints | think | have a flair. To draw a girl that smiles with joy, to rouge each velvet cheek Would pale be the life for me, no further must | seek. Carol Chanin. Se |p} {O) Cont unr unr THE POOR GAS MAN The man who reads our gas meter does so at his own risk. It's a two-to-one shot he won't come out of our cellar alive. He comes armed, but Lloyd's of London offer three-to-one odds. The gas man's first obstacle is the ash pile. Ever since someone stole our new garbage can, and bashed in the other one, | have had no ade- quate means of disposing of the ashes, so | pitch them on the floor. At one time | shoveled a walk through the ashes for him, but that has since filled up. After climbing the ash pile he approaches a low floor beam. It sags about five feet from the floor. The gas man has printed the words, ‘duck your head , on it as a grim reminder of the last three times it knocked him cold. At this point a revolting black overcoat hovers overhead that has been harboring moths and ter- mites as long as he has been working on_ this route. The gas man asserts that it will walk away one of these days. Only last month he emptied his service revolver into it, and apparently has stabbed it with his bowie knife in eight different places, but the coat is still definitely living. He is now but ten feet from the meter, but the acid test is yet to come. With his knite drawn he cuts a path through old chairs that stand five deep. When he reaches his coveted position after wip- ing the dust from the glass he reads the meter. Our gas man is truly an adventurer. | call him the modern Daniel Boone. Next week he'll get the shock of his life, because I'm contemplating clean- ing up the cellar. | do hope he won't drop dead. George Weber. FINAL IMPRESSIONS You could tell by the way they walked to class, and by the way they did their homework and even by the better way they talked; the seniors were sick of Arts High! After four long years of go- ing to school they were tired of study, classes, and homework, homework, classes, and study. Seeing the same people every day, doing the same things hour by hour made the monotony almost unbearable. The seniors wanted to get out of the childish institution of school and see the world, and work in the way of the world. Then suddenly, with the arrival of senior activi- ties, a subtle change was wrought on those who seemed to realize that the finale was drawing near. One day | was amazed to hear in place of the usual exclamation of boredom, a hesitant sigh: ‘I'll be sorry to leave Arts High and | thought with a sudden pang. I will, too.” The strangest sensations overcome you as you look at someone who has whispered elusive ans- wers to you in class and helped you with your 1940 56 VeCr Ni Eales e neglected week-end homework. It is a sensation of trying desperately to cement the friendships. You murmur futile phrases — demands, ‘You'll write of course?'' but you feel in your heart the leaden pain of finality. Vague snatches of conversation drift within your hearing; someone saying loudly, ‘Remember those oranges we had in seventh period lunch? Of course, you do. And other memories flood back, of tricks played in chemistry and art classes. You want those thrills to last forever. People who have never cared before try now to strengthen tne ties between all the seniors, realizing that the old saying, ''We have nothing in common’ is never true. All seniors have some- thing in common if nothing but those rare moun- tain peaks in our high school experience and the promise of more to come. Anne Cucciniello. A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE The long waited for summer vacation arrived and my brother, Barry, and | were making prepara- tions to spend a fortnight at our cousins’ home. Barry was going to cousin Bob's at Lake Gerard, for the fishing season has just begun. | was going to cousin Rose's since she was to have her sweet sixteen party. | was busy packing my gown of lovely blue silk, my first, with some other things necessary to complete my wardrobe, while Barry was packing his fishing equipment, consisting of sweaters, boots, line, and tackle, etc. We were to start on the morrow. We left with much excitement and joy and soon were on the train headed for our destination. Barry was to get off a few stations before me. Talking of the wonderful hours we would have together with our cousins, we did not realize how near we were to our relatives’ home until the con- ductor's shrill voice was heard above all. ‘Next stop, Lake Gerard . Barry hastening, grabbed his bag and shouting his good-byes and wishes for a nice time was off. Soon my stop came and | was welcomed by my cousin and her family. They were all very pleased to see me, and we started for cousin Rose's home. All the way home | was telling her about the love- ly gown | had brought along with me. As soon as we arrived home, she begged me to show her my gown. | opened my valise and, Oh, | nearly fainted for these were Barry's fishing things! | then remembered that Barry and | had been given the same identical valises for Christmas by Dad. The only thing that held back my tears was Rose's promise to let me have her pink gown; and the thought of what Barry's face would reveal when he opened my valise and saw a blue silk dress instead of his fishing attire! Pearl Krickman. 1941 CHOIR Many people believe that music was written solely for musicians, and that they alone have the ability to enjoy it. To these misguided folks it is some strange, forbidden fruit that dangles al- most within their grasp, but seems to be withdrawn when they, poor unlearned souls, reach for it. Such ideas are both incorrect and unfounded. Music, in itself’is universally accepted as the most general medium of expression in the world. Every- one with a receptive spirit can interpret its poig- nant beauty. Like Shakespeare, music is written for the masses and should be played to the masses. To really receive the most from music one must understand it first. By “'understand'’ | do not mean you have to take an intensive course on the subject. This can be acquired by listening and working with music itself. In this school outside of the curricular activities of Harmony, Theory, Music Literature and Voice Culture, there exist two organizations which have done a great deal toward furthering the musical ‘understanding’ of us all. These groups are the Choir and the Orchestra. The ‘'Jitterbugs'' have become introduced to the subtle harmonies of Gershwin and have liked and remembered them. We have been shown how closely allied all music is. A: change in tempo and harmonies is the bridge connecting classical The 'Jitterbugs didn't know it, music and swing. but they were cultivating their ‘understanding’ ability when they listened to Gershwin as played by our orchestra. On the other side of the controversy exist the Wagnerites. They have found from the Choir that Bach and Beethoven were equally as im- portant as good old Wagner. All this is in the field of just 'listening'’ to mu- sic, but when we perform ourselves we really ‘'un- derstand’. When you are absorbed in putting yourself into music you unknowingly impart to the audience your own feeling. When working with a group, one cultivates the idea of cooperation and of unity. The best re- sult of group work is to show the individual per- former how to “blend'’ with the others. On the other hand when a member of the Choir or Orchestra is asked to perform singly, he does it gladly, knowing he will benefit from the experience. His personal benefit would be his chance to show his talents. His personality is enriched by the greater poise and _self-assurance he has attained. These assets will stand him in good stead after he has left school and almost, but not quite forgotten his work in the Choir or Orchestra. He will never lose those results. The memory of choir rehearsals may fade as the years go on, but once he hears an old familiar chord, it will all flood back in one glorious vision. Geraldine Schneider.

The members have attended three city congresses. Estelle Bowman, the Club's Secretary, had the honor of seeing the play she wrote dramatized by the afternoon group. Their plans for the future include invitations to other schools to meet at Arts High.
