4B CLASS HISTORY We Seniors who will graduate in January, 1942 entered Arts High in February, 1938. More than a hundred enrolled as ''Freshies.'' Through the ensuing years our class enrollment changed to eighty-seven Sopho- mores, to sixty-two Juniors, to forty-six Seniors! During our first year we had no class organization, but in the second year, June McIntyre was elected President, Antoinette Trinca, Vice-Presi- dent, and Perrilla Morris, Secretary and Treasurer. We chose Mr. Faber as our class adviser, and held our meetings in the gymnasium, with social dancing following the business meeting. (Remember the force Mr. Faber often had to use to make us bashful kids dance!) In the third year, class officers were: Antoinette Trinca, President; Samuel Sims, Vice-President; Louise Edwardson, Secretary, and Charlotte Cohen, Treasurer. During the second half of that year Mr. Crafts kindly consented to take over the duties of adviser, that Mr. Faber was no longer able to fulfill. Under his guidance we continued on into our fourth year, at which time we elected Sheldon Kiselik, President; Dannie Weiss, Vice-President; Charlotte Cohen, Secretary, and Virginia Scoppettuolo, Treasurer. Our main homerooms through these years were 204 for the girls, and 420 for the boys. Miss Howard, Mr. Crafts and Mr. Faber were the home- room teachers. A few students came from Mrs. Meek's room, 208, and Miss Shirley's room, 313. Of great help to us during our last year was Miss Brooker, who acted as counsellor. We owe her much, for without her wise aid in finding and correcting weak points some of us would not be graduating with our classmates. In thinking back over the class's high school years, do you remember: Eating lunch (especially the still life) in our homerooms, during our early years; Antoinette Trinca representing our class as Alderman at the school's General Organization; Charlotte Cohen successtully leading us through four years of Junior Red Cross work, and also class representa- tive, recently, to a City Youth Week Conference; Freda Burr's activity, interest and ability in Dramatics; and Marianne Fitz, a member of the All State Choir? Several of our members who put their time and energy into making this edition of the Vignette a success were Dannie. Weiss, Antoinette Trinca, Barbara Sacknoff and Marvin Kaiserman, who served on the Busi- ness staff, and Charlotte Cohen, Virginia Scoppettuolo and Louise Ea- wardson, on the Literary staff. Jack Pollett, Leonard Colavita and Noraa Nadelman were among those outstanding in Art, receiving special recog- nition in the Scholastic Contest at Bamberger's. Our recent activities have included several dances, in particular our Senior Dance, and the Swing Concert. Our salesmanship was put to work in the selling of our felt school banners. The Senior Hike was a lot of fun, and will you ever forget those roller skating outings? (those who tumbled probably won't!) There you have a brief history of the doings and impressions that have gone to make up a memory that not one of us will ever forget—tfour years in the one and only, Arts High School.
