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 . ; : : : : . ART Here is a girl with a big smile, patience and a never-give-up-motto. Pearl is crazy about art but also likes to read and roller skate. Inci- dentally she does a lot of both. As Art Editor of the Vignette, Pearl has worked tirelessly and has plenty to show for it. Many a night she has stayed in school late working on posters, announcing class organi- zation events. She has also appeared in many assembly programs. Pear] has a happy and even disposition, is versatile and resourceful. Her ap- preciative and generous manner have made her a favorite with everyone. Pearl tries to get the most she can out of art and the more she gets out of it the better she feels. Her chief interest lies in pictorial fashions and advertising. Her ambition is to be an illustrator and she hopes to go to college to prepare for this. 180 Huntington Terrace @ JosepH REILLY . : : ‘ . ART Sagittarius—A rather shy but, worthwhile boy, who proves interesting in company when you really get to know him. 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. His hobbies include art, dramatics, singing, the Hawaiian guitar, collecting popular records and of all things, girls. Joe wants to go to college and become a commercial Artist or vocalist with an orches- tra. He now works as a soda “‘jerker” in a drug store. According to the stars Joe has “Positive ideas and opinions but is sometimes different. He has determination, perseverance and energy, is fond of sports and pleasures. He will not fall in love at first sight, but when he does love he will do so thoroughly and with full devotion.” 243 Alexander Street ACR is HG SiGe @: Ox

? 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

@ GRACE SAPONE . ; : ‘ . ART If it's a giggle you have just heard you can bet your last nickel that it's Grace. Grace is a true Leo. She has a true and keen sense of humor, is quick witted, likes excitement and provided a great deal of it during her high school years. There are very few things in which Grace cannot find enjoyment. Of course there are times when Grace is ‘‘in the dumps’’ but those times are few and very soon Grace is all smiles again. She likes to sew and that accounts for all the attractive clothes she has. She likes also to illustrate fashions and her efforts are not in vain. Her designs are novel, smart and new. Grace is ambitious and hopes to get a good position in the art field. With her executive ability and the fiery personality that her birth sign Leo represents she won't have much trouble. 167 Rose Street @ [ora SCHIPLER . . MUSIC Iola has been with us only two years, but she has become a true Artie. When we first saw Iola, she had unusually long hair. It’s been short- ened since then, but it’s still the longest hair in our class. Iola’s a musi- cian and does a grand job on the violin. Her ambition is to be a concert violinist, but if that proves impossible, she'll teach others the knowledge she has gained. She has participated in many musical events and has done quite well for herself. She also enjoys swimming, bike riding, read- ing and writing. Iola is an honor student and has done some excellent work. In school she has played in the orchestra and sung alto in the choir. She also belonged to the Language and Latin clubs Iola plans to go to college and continue her study of music. Shall we predict a brilliant future for her? 418 Fairmont Avenue pa Doris SCHWARTZ . : ; PAR L Here is a girl who will undertake anything regardless of the work in- volved. She has often carried five majors without a groan, and has come out on the high honor roll. She leads a busy life, frequently visit- ing New York for music lessons. She plays the piano and does a lot of roller skating. That explains the presence of a certain little black suit- case Doris is often seen sporting around. We thought it might mean Doris is taking a trip but it only meant that she was carrying her skates with her. She also likes any form of dancing and was a member of the Modern Dance Group. Doris is a sweet, sincere and frank girl with fastidious tastes. Her horoscope says that she is affectionate, and demonstrative, and also adds that she will probably fall in love at first sight. Well! Well! What about this, Doris? We don’t think that a girl with ambition as strong as Doris’s will let anything interfere with her career. Doris wants to be an art teacher. 431 Florence Avenue we SHIRLEY SCULLY . ; of ART Horoscope: You have an alert mind and think deeply. You are force- ful, determined and have good sound judgment. You are uncommunica- tive and love with impulsiveness and intensity. You need someone on whom you can lavish your affections to be completely happy. Shirley is an attractive blonde, the proud possessor of not only beautiful hair but a tres belle complexion. We all like Shirley who is very stunning for she has beautiful clothes and wears them well. She plans to go into the business world though she does excellent work in art. Dancing is a favorite pastime and she likes bowling, skating and movies. Shirley has a sense of humor and likes good, clean fun, and having a beautiful smile—uses it often. As you might have gathered by now, she is very popular and has loads of friends. 875 South 20th Street NEWARK, NEW JERSEY aNaL tO Sn Ae En, TV OT
