ar =6 MARTHA SARAH WAXHAM . START Martha is capable of great things if she will accept the present happi- ness and not worry about the future. She is generous to a fault and can love deeply. She has an intellect that is independent and original and is more likely to form her own conclusions than be influenced by the opin- ions of others. She would do well as a manager. That's what the stars say and we are inclined to agree with them. Marty has done quite a deal of work in leadership and has a record of good standing in the Girl Scouts. In school she has worked in the Service Club, choir, stu- dent government and has done a fine job as business manager of the 4A Class. Marty's interested in ceramics and sports. She’s a grand gal who may always be depended upon to do her best at all times. She is not only an active member of our class, but popular too. We mustn't forget that she is talented in art and music and does well in both. 156 Ridgewood Avenue we ErLinok ARTHUR. ; ; . ART Elinor likes music—classical music; she could go to concerts at any and all times. Her favorite vocalists are Nelson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald. Elinor's hobby may be music, but in school she goes for art in a big way. She hopes to be a costume designer and after she leaves school, plans to earn enough money to take courses to learn more about that field. As to her horoscope, it says ‘‘she profits more by experience than by foresight. She is persevering and faithful, and adversity does not change her plan of work. She is friendly and likes attention. In love she is steadfast and devoted.” That is Elinor according to astrology. We wish her lots of luck and hope that the horoscope is wrong about the school of experience; it's a good school, of course, but sometimes it can make you upset if the experience isn't too good in the way of luck. 78 Bergen Street @ DIANA BERKE . ; ; . ART Diana is a tall blonde who wants to see the world. She's a nice girl and we hope the world sees her. Interested in medical work, she plans to go right to it. Her hobbies include the piano, music, collecting old books and writing stories. So you see, she manages to keep quite busy. Diana made a number of the many stuffed animals that sold so fast at our bazaar. She’s very clever, don’t you think, combining writing stories with sewing? She is an Aquarius and so has passions that are deep, and loves or hates with intensity. She has a great deal of personal pride and likes to command others. (We haven't noticed any attempt in that direction.) She has intellect that is dependable and original. She is more apt to form her own conclusions than be influenced by others. So, may we present to you, one and all—Miss Diana Berke. 21 Milford Avenue zt, GERALDINE BrROZEK . ; PART At first glance you expect Gerry's golden hair to be complemented by bright eyes. But you are mistaken! Gerry's eyes are brown and if we are allowed to wax poetical, they are a color soft as pansies. Gerry's usually out for fun, though she has her serious moods. Her subtle and dead-pan method of telling a joke, (her supply of them is never ex- hausted) has made her a very popular girl whose company is always enjoyed. Gerry is a marvelous dressmaker and makes all her own clothes. Good for you, Gerry! She likes swimming and hiking. She is an omnivor- ous movie fan, and seeing every movie in town is an ever favorite hobby. Her plan after graduation is to take a vacation. You're a lucky girl, Gerry, if your plans are carried out. 87 Newton Street NEWARK, NEW JERSEY ANOQAL IO TCV OT

OF JUNE CLASS po ELAINE BARBER . ’ , } ; ; . ART “Patience is a virtue’’ which Elaine possesses among others, and believe us, you have to have patience and plenty of it when you're President of a senior class. Elaine has been a president we are all proud of. She has worked tirelessly, endlessly, patiently and understandingly on the behalf of her classmates’ welfare. And as a result her administration has been one high lighted with many successful ventures, chief among which were the Bazaar and the George Washington Day Dance. Leadership is not Elaine's only accomplishment. She is an A student in art and has an abundance of natural ability. Willingness to work has produced many a portrait and painting to high light our history classes. Her horoscope states that she is impulsive and her intuition is apt to be more correct than her careful reasoning. Impulsive or reasonable, we like her as she is. She is a lot of fun and Elaine’s friendship is one we are proud to pos- sess. Elaine will continue her art studies at the New York School of Fine and Industrial Art. 79 Bragaw Avenue yee =VincenT Di MatrTEo.-Jr. . ' . ART Born under the sign of Taurus—an active member of his class who would always partake in class functions willingly. Vincent is the child of Tau- rus, set in his ways he is not easily misled. He believes in fair play at all times and under the most trying conditions. Vincent is an interested follower of basketball and also likes very much to play softball. He is at present the vice-president of the 4A class, a member of the radio guild and Vignette staff. His ambition is to become a commercial artist, but he has no immediate plans for the future. The stars, Vincent, inform us that you, “are stubborn, but not quarrelsome.”’ You are fair with people and expect in return, fairness. You are strong-willed and your head de- finitely rules your heart. You have intellect of a patient preserving type. 439! , North 12th Street. pd PHyYLLIs SAMBACH , : ‘ : oa A Rai Beauty mixed with intelligence equals Phyllis. Her combination of shim- mering blonde hair and gleaming eyes has made her one of the prettiest girls in school. Her sense of humor, her pleasing personality and her ready-for-fun spirit has made her popular as well, and with her blending of intelligence, sincerity and ability she has been an honor student and a perfect secretary of our class. Her well-written minutes have always presented a clear picture of what occurred at our previous meetings. Phyllis has also been active in an undertaking of our class. During the time of the Bazaar, every spare minute of Phyllis’s time was spent in knitting. She is also one of the best-dressed girls in school. Her supply of clothes seems unlimited. Her other activities are the Latin Club, Choir, Dramatic Club, and Representing the Scope. Her ambition is to be a singer and after hearing her in the choir we think she has made a wise choice. 134 Broad Street CONSTANCE SIEGAL . ' ; . ART There are things with which we immediately associate Connie; the make- up department, and the treasury department, and the Vignette staff. For four years Connie has been the treasurer of our class and for four years she has done the make-up for any show we have given. We might also add that she has been successful in both jobs. As our Vignette business manager, (and what a job that was) Connie was again a perfect example of competence. Here is a girl full of personality plus vim, vigor, and vi- tality. Connie’s personality is one that makes her a girl sought after. The spontaneous smile which she possesses has made everyone around her light-hearted and ready for fun. She is certainly a person you always like to have around. Connie expects to continue her fine work in college. She will certainly be an asset to the one she chooses. 624 High Street

OF JEWSNEE 1942 Cal vAsS S we Ivy CAINES . ; MUSIC Ivy always wears a smile. She's a very happy-go-lucky person but very neat and well-groomed. Ivy is interested in music and has been a member of the choir here in school. She is quite a pianist, too, and would like to teach others to play. No doubt she could do that well, and we certainly hope that her ambition to be a piano teacher will be fulfilled. She likes to dance and being so musical has plenty of rhythm. Ivy sews and makes some of her clothes. She is very quiet in school and does her work well. Astrologically, she has an alert mind and is a deep thinker. She is forceful and has good judgment. She loves with impulsiveness and intensity and needs someone to lavish her affections on, Now we ask you, how can a person like that fail to succeed? 7 Arch Street w CLIFFORD CARTER . . ; ep ey at Sa Is What a serious young man he is! Everyone says so, even his horo- scope which states that he is a great reader, a profound thinker and ardent student. (Definitely!) and makes the most of his abilities (That is Clifford). Also, he enjoys culture and refinement and whatever he undertakes is done to the best of his ability. (Don’t you agree that there’s something to astrology?) He wants to be a dentist and plans to work to earn money for his dental course. His outside interests include photography, airplanes, football, reading and hockey. To get back to his horoscope, it not only says he is serious, but in everything he does he excels—love, work or recreation. So, we present to you Clifford Carter, the student, soon to be Dr. Carter, the dentist. 87 Newton Street gd ='TONY CERMELE . : . ART That man’s here again!! Yes, we mean Tony. Everyone knows that he's the class comedian. He's ‘got personality-plus and is very popular. At class affairs, you'll usually find Tony as master of ceremonies. Everything he says is funny—or else he laughs so much, you laugh at him. No matter how you look at it, he’s got a sense of humor. He’s inter- ested in all phases of stage work, both before and behind the footlights. He likes to fool around with music, too, and radio. We sincerely hope that Tony will be successful in the entertainment world because he’s got what it takes for that work. Who knows, some day Tony may be on the national hook-ups. Until that day, Tony plans to go into the com- mercial art field. 270 Chancellor Avenue tie MICHAEL CORNACCHIA . ' . ART If we were predicting Michael's future we would say that “His home is his castle, that he is intellectual, artistic, likes reading and has no real enemies.’ Now let's take a look at Mike's interests and activities— He likes horseback riding, stamp collecting, ice skating and frequently goes camping. He is a member of the choir, school orchestra, and the All-State Orchestra. Mike plays the violin and wants to become a mem- ber of one of the country’s leading orchestras. After he graduates from high school, he plans to continue his musical education. But let’s go back for a moment and see how good we are at interpreting horoscopes. According to the real Scorpio—there are few things outside of his home that interest him. He is intellectual, conservative, artistic, enjoys reading and has considerable literary ability. He enjoys the admiration of his friends and has no real enemies. 41 14th Avenue AR TS EOL G Hh si€ Hi@.@ge
