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

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 |

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 |
