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 |

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

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
