? JoHN MErsopuLos . ; . ART John, who is a child of Virgo, makes friends easily and knows how to keep them, When he does a job he does it thoroughly. ‘Metso’ likes swimming, skating, baseball, photography and football He is also in- terested in commercial lettering and works at the Branford Sign Shop where he expects to continue. The heavens say that John is “very con- servative, plan ning carefully and working slowly and fruitfully, for he enjoys seeing a job well done.’ In spite of his strong will he is some- times led by others. Domestic, gracious and sympathetic, his love is strong and true, and his home, his life, ideal. 227 South Orange Avenue m@ Nina Nicuy . : ; ; AeA: Nina is a girl who can be feminine and an all around sport at the same time. Undoubtedly there isn't a sport Nina hasn't tried Swim- ming, horseback-riding, archery, skating, bowling and all the others. She even wants to fly a plane. Something most of us are either scared to death of doing or raring to go. At a dance or in class, soft spoken Nina is altogether feminine. The grace which she has acquired from all her exercising clearly marks her walk, posture, and dancing In addition to her piano playing, Nina has a remarkable sense of rhythm and is often caught leading an imaginary band during assembly. Who knows she might become a female Toscanini. But Nina declares her heart belongs to art. She has tried her hand at costume design and Fine Arts, and has made a notable showing. She plans to attend art college after graduation. 208 Avon Avenue « DorotHy Novak . : mA RL When Dorothy laughs, her eyes close up tight, and she laughs often for she enjoys good fun. She dresses well and has beautiful black hair that she wears in a number of ways. She is active for her hobbies are roller and ice skating, eating (according to her), knitting, swimming and tennis. She plans to continue in the art field and hopes to become a great Interior Decorator some day. According to our astrologer her interests are art and music, possessing more talent for music which she should furthermore develop. She is quick; energetic and alert, and can gen- erally succeed in getting what she wants by shrewd scheming. She has an interesting personality and will be happily married. And so, this little girl will undoubtedly turn out to be a big splash and take her place in the world right up on top. 156 19th Avenue, Irvington 7s = STANLEY O'LOUGHLIN . : ABR TS Who's that person at the piano? He has the most unconcerned look on his face, some of the longest fingers, and is in a lounging position. Guess who? No, you don't have it. It could be only Stanley O'Loughlin. It’s strange how a person seated at a piano in such a position can play such hot boogie-woogie and modern music; nevertheless, he’s doing it. Boy, he certainly can play. For one who hasn't studied music all his life, he certainly acts it. Take for instance, his unbeatable, unplayable orchestrations. They're something not to be sneezed at. Yes—he’s a true musician at heart. You might call him the Duke Ellington of Arts High School, in fact, why not? We can all look forward to the day when Stosh will be famous. Keep swinging it, Stanley, and never stop. 30 Rowland Street NEWARK, NEW JERSEY ANAL tO SuSEeVi LED TV OT 27

OF) UNE Se ae Car IAZSES rae ORS FL UICASe™, : : ‘ é 4 wrARE Doris has a delightful smile and a sunny disposition and therefore, has many friends. To be a nurse is her ambition and she plans to go into training as soon as possible. Can't you see her in an immaculate white uniform, with her rosy complexion, sparkling blue eyes and neat blonde hair? Quite a picture! (We bet the internes will think so!!) She likes to read books and is a member of the Library Guild, and proves to be a great help to all, freshmen and seniors alike. She has been a supporter of the Girl Scouts for quite some time and has done a lot of work in the organization. Many's the time she’s sold cookies for the Scouts. She has always done some form of service to others so we think she has, chosen the right career. 410 Clinton Avenue $% RutTH Lurz . ; : . ART If you want to know what band is in town just ask Ruth. She is the most unjittery jitterbug and can tear apart Jimmy Dorsey or build him up according to her mood. But her enormous collection of records has made our dances ‘record breaking” successes. Music is not all Ruth is interested in. Her horoscope states that she can give unlimited con- centration to anything she undertakes. And believe us, she undertakes plenty. Ruth enjoys roller skating and does a lot of it, reads an unlim- ited number of books and also tries her hand at writing original liter- ature. Ruth has always been an enthusiastic member of our class and her personality is a pleasant one and her friends are many. Her birth sign represents sincerity and trustworthiness and we who know her can vouch for those qualities. Ruth wishes to become a pictorial illustrator. 29 Oxford Street gd = MARIAN MALLEN . : ; VARA For Marian’s small stature, she has certainly accomplished a great deal She came to us in the second’ year and from there on she has had a remarkable attendance record. She has never been tardy to school or classes, an example some of us should follow. Marian thinks the world of our art course and was deeply disappointed when she couldn't take it in summer school. However, she took history and English instead. In her third year she received a certificate of merit for her work which was in the Bamberger Scholastic Exhibition. Marian carries a full schedule but finds time to work two periods in the office. Though her horoscope says that Marian does not invite advances and is rather shy, we know her as a swell girl who can be depended upon when she is needed. 653 Springfield Avenue va = =WituiaAmM McELroy . . ART William has a fierce sense of humor and there’s never a dull moment when he’s around. His personality and character make him well-liked by all who meet him. He is a hard working member of the Vignette staff. He likes water color painting and wants to be a commercial artist. Mac is going to further his education by going to college. Now let's see what the astronomer says about Bill. He was born under Capricornus and is active, restless, impulsive and fond of travel. His mind is firm and resolute and he has much power of concentration. He has a good deal of tact and self-control and he is not apt to let his feelings run away with his judgment. 14 Warren Place ARS TD St HG Es -Si@re@7 One

OF JUNE 1942 CalA SES ze RuTH OSOFSky . ; ; ; ; Atel Ruthy is known among us for her quick and keen mind and her ready sense of humor. Her willing and hearty laugh has eased many a tense moment in class. This pretty brunette with sparkling blue eyes can never be called a slacker or uncooperative. Her sympathetic, tolerant, and broad-minded views have made her a sought-after and valued friend. She has worked hard and industriously for class organization projects. Though she is not an advocate of home work her thirst for reading is unguenchable. She has acquired a larger vocabulary and broader out- iook on life than most of us who have labored long and hard on our homework. Her sense of humor is proved by the fact that she can laugh at her trials and tribulations in typing class Who knows, Ruthy, you may be the Speed Champion of the future. Her real and creative abil- ity has shown itself in her art class. Ruth has no immediate plans for the future. 180 Huntington Terrace @ PEARL Osorsky . ; : : : : .

Wood carving is Joe’s chief interest, but he also goes in for track meets and sprinting. He has been a member of the track and cross-country teams. To travel about while doing his life’s work is Joe's ambition. He is going to attend “Display Institute’” and study window display. The stars advise us that Joe, who is a son of Sagittarius, is apt to speak and act hastily, but means no harm. He is a great reader and a good and entertaining talker. Bright, witty and vivacious, he is generally ‘‘the life of the party.” He loves luxuries and pleasant surroundings and is sensitive to his en- vironment, 205 Highland Avenue @ JosEPH ROoKOSNY . : : ; ; Br ARG Joseph Rokosny was born under the sign of Leo and he is a very ver- satile fellow.
