i as a m cul o Rotem pert ASG © orrremrnenai PARA AS 5 SER RUROR EX LIBRIS ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF © THE ARTS HIGH SCHOOL NEWARK NEW JERSEY odican Conscious though we are of the havoc and destruction that has engulfed us, we face the future with hope and a faith in our leaders and their ideals. We look to our President, the symbol of our living democracy, for encour — agement and leadership. To Franklin D-. Roosevelt, our Commander in - Chief in this f ight for freedom, we sin cerely dedicate our Vignette. The Semor Classes Full carefully the teachets planted us As April gently tends each tiny seed. The wilds of storm,the calm of warmth we heed In Stowth has made the sttonget each of us. Inspited by wisdom, seeds will bloom in May When thoughts ate of fantastic images, : As gleaming stats that tripped Shakesperean stages; And now subsides the glory day by day. The youthful seedlings soon will reach their goal When fruitful harvests ate ptoduced again Till only echoes good ot bad remaim, Which ptove eternal spifit of the soul. : Some plants temembeted some just thought about; Decembet peace, contentment -some without. Lowian Lupo o A ‘ Seniors: It is unescapahle that a word from the Principal, at this time, should sound a serious note. None the less, we are happy indeed that our senior classes accomp- lished so much in the way of educational achievement and we congratulate you upon your success. You are go- ing out into a war-worn world, a world confused and weary, a world that has not yet learned how to live. No one knows with certitude What will be the outcome of the present struggle. But one and all, we can take refuge in a firm and lasting faith that somehow the world of the future willbe better than the one we have left behind us, and that government by the people will not perish. For those of you who enter the armed services we pray God's protection; for those who remain on the home front we pray also that you may keep your vision clear, your spirits undaunted, and your hopes and ambitions unsullied by selfish aims. For when this war is over, and God grant that this may be sooner than we now even dare to hope, there will be much work to do in the world to uphold the highest stand- ards of integrity, to cherish the spirit of tolerance and hospitality, and to recreate beauty in life, in character, and in surrondings. We pray that you will all be happy,remembering that the supreme happiness in this world is the consciousness of a good job well done. Ale ‘ E. I Lb FIGHT FOR VICTORY ‘VOu sor LOUISE LUCILLE LUPO : Boulevard Road, Pompton Plains Louise is one of our class scholars. She was always ready to oblige any of her classmates with her knowledge. She was a faithful member of the Language Club and served as alderman from her homeroom. She was President of the senior class and a proof-reader for the production of the Vignette. She hopes to attend New Jersey State Teachers College after graduation and to become an art teacher. GLORIA CASTLE 186 James Street Here is that chic little ‘‘dilly'’ who drives all the fellows ‘‘willy-nilly. ’ Just to prove that good things do come in small packages, we point with pride to Gloria. She is a snappy dresser and has an un- equalled sense of humor, with which she gives out at the slightest provocation. Gloria is the kind of a school chum no one ever forgets, especially teach- ers! She was the Editor-in-Chief of our ‘Vignette’ and Fashion Editor of the ‘‘Scope.’’ Gloria wants to be a fashion illustrator. ERNEST VIGDOR - - - - 20 Farley Avenue Arts High has been blessed only one year by Ernie's presence. He came from Linden High in his senior year. Ernie's: pockets are always bulging with different colored handkerchiefs and brass rings. etc. You see, he’s an amateur magician. Ernie has been active on the Vignette in the photography department and as dish washer in the lunchroom. He was also a cheer-leader for the basketball team, treasurer for his senior class. When the war is won, he would like to get in with Walt Disney as a cartoonist. SUE LARDIERI - - - - - 54 North 5th Street ‘Susie’ has always been just one of the boys. She was always seen at track meets because she was secretary of the track and cross-country team. Sue has always been popular with everyone and has done a lot to further athletics in Arts High. She was secretary of the class for two years and was an alderman and secretary of the Student Council, a member of the Dramatic Club, Language Club, and activity writer for the Vignette. Sue hopes to go into the field of interior decorating. ROBERT ALBRECHT - - 397 Hawthorne Avenue We remember the day in homeroom, when ‘'Bob”’ left his lighted pipe in his coat. We couldn't imagine what was burning, but when Bob found the hole in his coat, we found out soon enough. Be- sides being admired for height, he is also admired and well known for his art work. He won first prize in a Safety Poster contest, and probably he has so modestly concealed many more. Bob joined the Navy a few months ago and thinks it’s grand. After the war he would like to go into the Commercial Art field. ROBERT T. BAER - - - - - 12 Porter Place Robert T. Baer (T for Teddy) is a fine lad who has a nose for trouble. Sort of like a second Henry Aldrich. Bob has belonged to the Ping-Pong Club, Student Patrol and the Poetry Club. He has majored in the art course and wants to be a commercial artist. Bob will attend Pratt Institute of Technology or Yale's School of Art, if the army doesn’t claim him first. MAITLAND BANKS - - - 33 Winans Avenue Maitland will not only graduate from Arts High, but has also completed four years inthe Arts High's evening classes. His chief interests are in playing the saxophone, swimming, and boxing. Because of the present conditions, he expects to resume his studies after his patriotic duties with the Army or Navy are performed. HARRIET BERGER - - - - 545 Belmont Avenue t Harriet and Ruth Blinder are like bread and but- ter. One can't do without the other. Harriet is quite well known for her art work and has won two honorable mentions for her work. Harriet took two years of typing although she did major in art. After graduation she intends to enter into the Commercial Art field. WANDA BILAS - - - - 526 South 15th Street Wanda is packed full of vim, vigor, and oomph! Her pep and everlasting energy have always made her a popular figure at Arts High. Orchestra, choir, alderman of student council, Personal Editor of Vignette, Radio Guild, and Patrol have been her favorite pastimes in school. When ‘‘Von ' plays the violin, no one would know she was the same person. She expects to play in a symphony orchestra some day and we know she will succeed with her talent and roundabout personality. We will then be able to say ‘‘We knew her when.”’ RUTH BLINDER - - - - 282 Seymour Avenue ‘Ruthie’ has always been the intellectual type. She always studied and did her homework and came on the top in everything. While in school you could see Ruth walking around with a smock on, clay under her long finger-nails, and plaster of Paris powder all over her. Art is her future. She won five medals and six certificates while in school. Best of all, Ruthie won a one year scholarship for Parsons School of Design. We hope her stay there will be as pleasant as if has been here in Arts. NORA BONAT - - - -. 281 Belmont Avenue Nora Bonat is one of the liveliest practical jokers in our senior class. She is also one of the gayest and most popular classmates. Never a dull moment is experienced with Nora. Among her activities were—member of the Chess and Checker Club, Archery Club, assistant-chief of Patrol, and a Scope representative. She participated in our Student Council and Red Cross Council. Her plans are to go to school for a course in costume design, and sewing. MATILDA CAPRIO - - - - 15 Cabinet Street Friendly, vivacious, and attractive, are a few ad- jectives that describe Matilda She works in Lor- stan’s studio after school, coloring photographs. She plans to stay there until she can obtain a posi- tion as illustrator. Meanwhile, she will go to night school and take a course in designing. Her favorite pastime is dancing and those who have seen her know that she excels in grace and ability. She is often seen reading a letter from Tommy. Who is he, Matty? LILLIAN CHERNICHAW - - 113 Renner Avenue If you see a streak of color go flying by while walking in the halls, don't be alarmed, it's only “Lil” trying to-get money from someone for some- thing or other. Lillian certainly has been a busy girl by being a member of the Orchestra, Choir, Dramatic Club, Radio Guild, treasurer of Music Club, president of Red Cross, business man ager of Vignette, class alderman, and Student Patrol. Lillian is the Benny Goodman of Arts High and would like to attend Trenton State Teachers College or New York University to major in music. MORRIS CHUSID - - :- - 52 Tillinghast Street That man’s here again! If it's not a corny joke, it's his poetry—such poetry! No wonder they call him ‘‘The Lover.'’ But love's not his only interest. When he's not switching lights for the Stage Crew, he’s subjecting friends to his candid camera. Morris did a swell job on the Brotherhood Poster and hopes to get into the Camouflage Department when he's drafted. Gee, maybe we won't recognize him when he comes home on leave! ANNA COOK - - -. - 141 Hunterdon Street Ah! To have such sweetness and beauty such as Anna’s must be wonderful. Anna has always been quite a shy girl in school. but, of course, ‘‘Still water runs deep.'’ Anna has majored in the fine arts course. and plans to go to a Fashion Art Design School after graduation. She hopes to make fash- ion illustrating her future career and we know that Anna will succeed because we have already seen what wonderful taste she has for clothes by the beautiful ones she wears. JUNE COPPOLA - - - - 307 Clifton Avenue June is one of Arts High's very favorite entertain- ers. She never refuses a request for her presence at a show or dance. Her ambition is to become a great dancer and after watching her grace and poise, we know that she will be one. After gradu- | ation she plans to visit various camps to entertain our boys That will surely be a treat for them. Broad- way is her goal. Good luck, June. ROSE CORONA - - - - 60 Eighth Avenue Rose is a sweet, helpful, and athletic girl. It was a pleasure to see her glide gracefully over the bar while high-jumping in gym. She is witty and her dark eyes with those thick lashes are always smiling. Her vitality is very contagious. On the other hand Rose can be very thoughtful and serious—especial- ly in her history classes. After she graduates, she would like to further her education in designing. AGNES COUGHLIN - - 1021 Galloping Hill Rd., Elizabeth Hmmm—who's that? You guessed it— it's Agnes. She certainly paints a pretty picture with her blond hair and lovely clothes. Interested in all outdoor sports, her main interest is in dancing—and when you see her you'll know why. Agnes intends to continue her art training at Pratt Institute. And then what? Well, the future she's most interested in is a chap named Gordon. Good luck and happiness to you, Agnes. BEATRYCE MARIE CRAWFORD - = 24 Marie Place Bea's hobby is music. She has studied for eight years and plays the piano beautifully. Art is her major though, and all her classmates think her art work is swell. She has sold some of her paintings already, and we sincerely hope that she will find time to do more art work while training to be a nurse. She plans to enter training in the fall of 1943. We will all miss Beatryce's sincerity, poise, and chic appearance. MILDRED E. R. CUNNINGHAM - 46 Orleans St. One of the nicest girls you'd care to meet is Millie. She is pretty, a good student, and quite athletic. Whenever a friend is in need, she is a fine friend indeed. Her eyes are always twinkling and she has a ready smile for everyone. She was a member of the Student Patrol. Her ambition for the future is to become a nurse. We are sure she will be very successful in this field because her kind and patient nature is suited to this type of work. JOAN DE. JONGE - - - 237 Peshine Avenue Joan has always represented what the well- dressed woman of the day wears. She has a large and beautiful wardrobe, some of which she has de- signed and made herself. Joan has been quite busy in school, participating in the Dramatic Club, Mod- ern Dance Group, Library Guild, Aldermanic Coun- cil, Red Cross and the ‘‘Scope. ’ Joan is one of the few people to graduate in three and one half years. She hopes to attend Newark College of Engineering and now has a position in Drafting. she belonged to the Photography Club. lows a-hand in speeding up the war.

However, when she comes of age she would very much like to become a W.A.V.E. and give the fel- ANGELA ROSE DEL RUSSI - 155 Sussex Avenue Everyone likes Angela. She is very agreeable, patient, and never seems to lose her temper. Have you noticed that Angela is getting prettier every day? She has an ever-ready sense of humor and is always willing to share a good laugh. On the other hand, she is a deep thinker and you may often de- tect a far-off dreamy look in her eyes. Wonder what she's thinking about. Angela wants to be- come a dress designer in the future. GERALDINE DE RIENZO - - 158 Parker Street Wha is that peppy little miss, with the flowers in her hair, jokes to tell, and many happy smiles? Why that's Gerry! She often wears masculine clothes, but always appears very feminine. Her hobbies are designing clothes, painting, swimming and her feet like nothing better than to warm up a dance floor. Her ambition is to become a dress designer or be a fashion model We sincerely hope she gets the best of everything the world has to offer. RUSSELL A. DIETSCH of the United States Army.”’ JERRY JOSEPH ERRICHETTI - - 19 Drift Street You never hear Jerry until Angelo R. comes around. When these two fellows get together, something is bound to happen. Jerry must just love the Air Corps because one of his favorite hobbies is making model airplanes. His interests in school have been the Aviation Club, and was a member on the Vignette staff. Jerry hopes to get into the Naval Air Corps, and we know he'll get there be- cause when any one likes anything as much as Jerry likes the Air Corps, he is sure to get in. 69 Boylan Street Don't ever mention hair around Russell because he'll only pull his comb out and start combing those waves of his. ‘‘Russ’’ has been active in the Photo Club and Transportation Squad. His favorite pas- time is going to parties; but he won't be able to go to many more because he expects to be drafted soon. After the war Russ would like to go into the art field as a commercial artist. VINCENT DiVIVO - - - - - 73 2nd Street The brown bag ‘‘Vinnie ’ carries around isn’t his laundry; it's only his lunch ag. Vincent was on the track and cross-country teams in his sophomore year. He also was a member of the Photo Club. His hearty laugh has started many a giggling spell in classes. Vincent would like to continue with art work after graduation, but for the duration would much rather bear the title ‘‘General Vincent DiVivo FRANCES FABIANO - - - - 98 Orange Street ‘Here is a girl full of personality, and usually out for fun, although she has her serious moods. Frances has been very active in school spirit. She was in the choir for four years, a Red Cross representa- tive, in the Music Club, and an alternate for the Student Council.

SEYMOUR: FACHER) 338-262. 72 Seymour Avenue Whenever you hear a loud merry ha! ha! hal, you can be sure it's Seymour. He has a very hearty laugh. Seymour's main interests ‘during his four years at Arts have been the Transportation Squad, the Track Team, and the Student Patrol. He ex- pects to go into the armed forces of the United States after graduation, and perhaps, bring home a few medals. a course in sculpture. JOHN: FRIGGLE 25 (53 eo kid! graduating class. RUTH E. FREUDENVOLL - 534 South 12th Street If you haven't met Ruthy, it's high time you did. She's that very agreeable girl, with a big smile for everyone. Her hobbies are sports, such as bike riding, roller skating, and modeling cartoons in clay (you should see them). Another favorite pastime of hers is babying her cat, ‘‘Jeeter Peter Lester Lowden Freudenvoll.’’ He is a very accomplished animal who likes classical music, tells time, and does tricks. Ruth looks forward to continuing her education with 80 South 13th Street Click! There goes that camera again. The back- bone of the Photo Club, Johnny was never without his camera—and he's done some beautiful pictures, too. The Roller Skating Club enjoyed his presence _until March. Then the United States Army took over. Johnny is now in the ‘‘blue-grass state’’: climbing up and down the hills in a tank. We're behind you, ROSEMARIE GALILEO - 77 West Market Street Slacks, smock, and pigtails seem to be our best description of Rose. She enjoys swimming, ice and roller skating, and horseback riding. She always has a perpetual smile and a jaw full of gum. Rose is obviously attractive, and we know she is intelli- gent, as she is one of the youngest members of the With that equipment she can't miss. Her foremost ambition is to be a mortician. MAUREEN CECILIA GOLDSMITH, 33 Orleans Street Maureen is the girl with a smile for everyone, and is forever showing those beautiful dimples. She has been with us for a year now, coming from Tech- nical High School in Scranton, Pennsylvania. She belonged to various clubs including the choir and school band in the Technical High. Although she hasn't mentioned this, we know from her friends that Maureen plays the Hawaiian guitar. After gradua- tion she plans to be a filing clerk or secretary. ALBERT HAGER - - - - 29 Pennington Street ARTHUR JAY GOODMAN - - 39 Farley Avenue Arthur Goodman came to Arts when he was a sophomore from South Side to take the Commercial Art Course. Art has won two major A’s for the cross-country and basketball teams. We'll never for- get the time Arthur gave up his track shoes to Eddie Walsh at .a meet and ran in a pair too small for himself. At the tape—Ed Walsh took first place for the school—aArt finished twelfth, in bare feet! The opposing team carried Art to the lockers on their shoulders. Although he intends to continue his art training, A. J. will join the Marines after graduat ion. Albert Hager entertains a fancy for the great out- door life. Albert frequently goes fishing, hunting, and canoeing. In school he belonged to the trans- portation squad. Art is Al's major and from every viewpoint he seems to be doing very well at it. After graduation he expects to enlist in the Army Air Corps. When his enlistment is over he intends to continue with his art course. VINCENT HANLON - - - 28 South 8th Street ‘Vincent's four years at Arts High can be divided into three seasons—track, cross-country and basket- ball. His love for sports has made him a hard fight- ing and loyal member of each of these teams. No one will ever forget the ‘‘floor cleaning’ he did, free of charge, at every basketball game. Vinnie's smiling eyes will take him far when he enters the armed forces of ihe United States. GORDON ROBERT HECTOR - 28 Kenmore Avenue Gordon is a tall, dark, and handsome young fel- low who is a very neat dresser. He has probably made many a young girl's heart flutter but he’s charmed girls. Gordon belonged to the Skating Club and we hear he’s very good. He had plans of.'going to Pratt but thinks it wiser (or Uncle Sam thinks it wiser) that he'd do more good in the Army for the time being. HENRY JACKIMER - - - 538 South 17th Street Popular and handsome, with blond hair, is Henry. There is never a dull moment when he is around. He is happy-go-lucky and he never took school too seri- ously. After graduation he plans to be inducted into the Navy Air Corps. Boy! Won't he look snazzy in the uniform of a flying cadet? When you fly over Arts High, Henry, don't forget to tip your wing in recognition of the days you spent here.

Although her future is rather indefinite, Helen would like to achieve her goal as a dress designer. HAROLD KARETNICK - - 39 West Runyon Street Here's a fellow who's always tinkering around with one thing or another. The outcome, who knows? He hopes to attend Newark College of Engineering and put his tinkering to practical use. Harold is a very jolly person and has been a member of the famous Stage and Technical Crew. When the air raid whistles start up, he changes his guise for a white helmet and becomes Sir Walter of the Dark Alley—he's very fond of his job. GENE KINNEY - - - 403 Kerrigan Boulevard You can usually see Gene walking down the halls arm in arm with Jennie Konopczynski, wearing one of her creations. She sews her own. Once in a while you may find her running a few stitches in something in some of her classes. Gene has been active in the Junior Red Cross, Roller Rink Skating and is interested in tennis and horseback riding. Gene would like to enter the field of interior dec- JENNIE KONOPCZYNSKI - 534 So. 12th Street orating after graduating.

Jo has laughing eyes and reddish blond hair. Her hobbies are swimming, roller skating, and sketching. She hopes to become a fashion illustrator. Scraps of paper covered with sketches may be constantly seen bulging from her notebook. She also did her bit in the Art Service Club. What would our class be without little Jennie? “Always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. Although Jennie is quite calm and collected in school, you ought to see her Jn a roller skating rink or at a basketball game. She is the homeroom rep- resentative for the sale of defense stamps and is going to do her best to become a Nurses’s Aid. If it weren't for the war, Jennie would continue her work as an interior decorator. MARGA KUBALLE - - 379 Springfield Avenue During classes Marga was one of the quietest stu- dents to ever attend our fair school. But after school she could always be seen talking away a ‘‘mile a minute. ’ Her hobbies are roller skating, bowling, gardening, and designing houses. Wonder if she'll have a victory garden this year, full of tasty vege- tables? This ambitious girl will work after graduat- ing, and continue with her interior decorating course in night school. Loads of success to a swell class- mate! FLORENCE KUPS 552 South 19th Street Here is a lovely young lady who would never get lost in the Amazon Jungles but still can't find the escalators in department stores. She loves to read, hike, and swim. Flo is a girl of many moods. She is an excellent judge of character and seems to see all; with those beautiful Dutch blue eyes. She is generous and ambitious.

She enjoys roller skating, tennis and gymnastic work a great deal. A favorite hobby of hers is colleciing pictures of new friends and writing letters to them. Josephine would like to continue with her gymnastic work after graduation, but for the duration, thinks it wiser to work and help win the war as soon as possible. CALDONIA MORRISON - 96 Sherman Avenue Have you seen any of Cal’s fashion sketches? They're quite good. She takes school rather seri- ously and is very quiet in her classes. She is also an athletic girl and does all the difficult exercises in gym gracefully. Besides being a fashion artist she is very capable of doing other types of art work too. We are glad to hear that Caldo nia is not going to let this talent go to waste and is going to continue ROBERT HUGH O'GORMAN. - -_ 155 Ivy Street with fashion. ARTHUR NUGENT - - -. 12 Tuxedo Parkway Arthur is the real Casanova of Arts High. When you see a group of girls surrounding someone, you'll always find that certain someone to be him. He was a member of the Track and Cross-Country team, played on the Basketball team and won the city championship for throwing a javelin. ‘‘Nugget,’’ as he was dubbed in his earlier years in school, was class alderman and President of his class in 3A. He expects to attend college and then go into the com- mercial art field if Uncle Sam doesn’t get him first. This young Irishman who so closely resembles Henry Fonda, and who, by coincidence, is Bob's favorite movie star, came to Aris High from Ivy Junior High School. He is an all around athlete but his favorites are basketball and baseball. He has shown his liking for basketball this past season playing on the school team. Bob and chewing gum are quite inseparable. Bob wants to go into the Navy after graduation. YOLANDA ONOFRIETTI - - - 17 High Street Yolanda is another lass graduating in three and a half years.

When Yolanda comes of age she hopes to enter the Marine Re- serve. GEORGE PETERSEN - - - - 249 16th Avenue George is a quiet and reserved sort of fellow. But you heard that old saying: ‘‘You can't judge a book by its cover.'’ George hasn't taken part as a mem- ber of any clubs during his four years in Arts High, ‘but has missed few days being in school, doing his regular school work. Some day in the near future his classmates will probably be reading about him in the newspapers as a war hero. ANN PIZZANELLI - - - 193 South 6th Street ‘| dream of Annie with the long, black hair.’’ Ann has been a faithful member of the choir for four years. She has been a member of the Bowling Club and the Motet Choir. Ann likes to sew, go bowling, and skating.

MICHELE RICCIARDI - - 890 DeGraw Avenue For a supposedly quiet guy, Mike makes an aw- ful lot of noise. But then, only those who don’t know him would call him quiet. A swell fellow to know, Mike is a hard working member of the Vignette Staff and a real student. He says he wants to be an artist, whether it's houses or pictures he wants to paint, he didn't say—but when he becomes a top- notch commercial artist, don't say | didn't warn you. Ralph has been a pretty busy fellow since he en- tered Arts High. His scholastic record is a very fine one—and he held down a job after school, too. More than one prize has been awarded Ralph for his art work. In April, he was taken over by the Navy, where he hopes to put his art to use in the Camouflage Department. We're proud of you, Ralph, and know you'll be able to do what you set out to do.

She is undecided in her ambitions for the future because she says, ‘‘with the world as it is today, it is very hard for anyone to decide.” We wish her success in the business world. RITA RUBIN Siac ee 58 Mapes Avenue When you see.a dash for room 219 at about ten after nine in the morning, you can be sure it’s Rita hurrying to get her homework done.

By the way Jeanette dresses you can tell that clothes are of great interest to her, so she plans to go to Pratt Institute to further her edu- FRANK STALKS - - - - Smile plus dash equals Frank as he flies through the halls. Frank's interests in school have been the Photo Club, track and cross-country teams. He won the championship in low hurdles in his sophomore year. During his four years in Arts, he has changed from a quiet and bashful boy to a well-known man- about-town.

HELEN TALAMONTI - - 447 North Sth Street The first things you notice about Helen are her bright blue eyes. She makes a pretty picture with her fair skin and reddish-blonde hair. She also possesses a lovely singing voice. Many of the clothes she wears were made by herself. In art, she especially likes to draw and paint young children. She was a member of the Student Patrol and Art Service Club. We wish her success as an artist. 547 South 11th Street Blond Irene has a sunny and pleasing personal- ity and a smile for everyone. She and Jean-Sodow- ski have always been quite inseparable. She has belonged to the Bowling and Art Service Clubs. Irene wants to become a costume designer after studying at Pratt Institute. Eventually she would like to open a dress shop of her own. And, with Irene's good taste and personality, we're sure she'll be a TONY SZABO - - - - 648 South 18th Street This tall and dashing lad called Tony hails us from Central High School. He came to Arts High in his sophomore year. He was the manager of the stage crew and a member of the Radio Guild. Tony is sometimes known as the little man (or should we say big man?) who wasn't there. Tony got a defer- ment so that he could graduate with the class, so he'll be leaving for the Army in the very near future conversation with someone. Her many outside activ- ities have prevented her joining many clubs, but she has been a faithful member of the choir for two years, and she has enjoyed it very much. She plays the piano and has been giving lessons to three chil- dren. She expects to continue this work after gradu- ation and also hopes to add to her list of students. Aye aye het oe BB AEY +p CHESTER TYJEWSKI -. 265 Lee Terrace, Kenilworth ‘“‘Chet ’ is one of the few fellows that have graduated in three and a half years. His main in- terests in school were the swimming team and girls. He could always be found in the lunch room or in the halls having a close conversation with one of the fairer sex. Chester knew everyone in school’ and everyone knew Chester. The R.C.A. has employed him at the present, but in the near future he will have ag new boss—Uncle Sam. ADELE WALLING - - 190 West Runyon Street Adele's fine sense of humor, her pleasing person- ality and ready-for-fun spirit has made her popular with everyone. She is very athletic and loves to swim, play badminton, tennis, and captain ball. Adele also like the tango and to listen to classical music. Although her future is undecided, Adele has said she would like to join the W.A.A.F. To Adele we wish the best of luck and happiness in the future. EDWARD WALSH - - - 198 Hillside Avenue ‘Ed,’ the man with the elastic stomach, and the ability to win a prize in any kind of an art contest. In his sophomore year he won two gold medals and a silver medal in the Hobby Show in Kresge’s. In his junior year he took first place in two poster con-. tests. In his senior year he won the contest for the cover design of the Vignette. He is also interested in athletics, and has been a member of the cross- country and track teams and the basketball team. If the army doesn’t get him first, Ed would like to continue his art work. WILLIAM WEILER 531 Clinton Avenue ‘‘Going downtown?” If you hear this question you can always find ‘‘Willie, ’ coat in hand and ready to go over Washington Street to see his fav- orite camera in the store window. His handsome sport jackets and shirts have made him one of the best dressed fellows in school. He belonged to the Photography Club in school and expects to continue his work in the United States Marine Corps. ARCHIBALD WEBB WILLIAMS - 88 Arlington Street From appearances, he isn't very big,. but where he loses in stature he makes up in ambition. Archie belonged to the school orchestra, in which he played a trumpet. He hopes to become an accomplished trumpeteer or go to college and become a commer- cial artist. Archie enjoyed his classes but we must admit that he found it difficult to keep his attention riveted on his English teachers. We often saw his head nodding. Good-luck Archie. 4 A’s IN REVIEW Gussie RossILu “All freshmen are to report to the auditorium.” “Sure freshie, 215, is on the fourth floor.” “Want to buy an elevator ticket, freshie?’ These remarks go through our minds as we near graduation. To think that once we took all that from our noble upper- classmen of the time! Yes, we were the little fresh- men who came upon a new world of life, with a hesitant step and hungry look, on‘a clear September day in 1939. Nothing but blank faces appeared. We displayed what seemed to be a perfect imitation of ants at work on a hill—knocking into each other— trying in vain to shrink from the disdainful looks of our seniors. Marks (alphabet soup) came and went (in the next morning). Cuts and their results were experienced (ask Art Nugent). And thus we finished building our Arts High School Foundation. In spite of it all, we were compensated with a long summer vacation, which gave us enough time to convince our parents that we were smart, even if the teachers didn’t think so. In our third year, we began to exercise the powers of Democracy in a class organization, little knowing that in the near future we would have to fight for those principles. if 28 y Louise Lupo Do you remember when the boys of 309 launched an outstanding campaign in the selling of Scopes? This was primarily through the enthusiastic assistance of Mr. Van Houten, whose slogan was “Buy one or else.” Our first class president, Arthur Nugent, began his term of office by organizing our first dance on St. Patrick’s Day. Symbolic of that dance, graciously designed by our fashion queen, Gloria Castle, were shamrock hats and large green bows bearing the words, “I’m going! Are You?” Other class officers were Louise Lupo, Vice-President; Sue Lardieri, Sec- retary; Chester Tyjewski, Treasurer; Rita Rubin, Busi- ness Manager, and Vincent Hanlon, Sergeant-at-arms. � Oh memories! Let us try to clear a little of this mist away and see what else has happened. Ah yes! The dance served as a stimulus, as we remember now, awakening our class so that by the end of the third year, we were represented in almost every activity in the school. Rita Rubin, editor-in-chief of the Scope, and other members distinguished themselves by win- ning prizes and certificates in art contests. Among these were: Jerry Erichetti, Eddie Walsh, Ralph Roc- co, Richard Stone, Ruth Blinder, Harriet Berger, Wanda Bilas and Lillian Cherinchaw were our class musicians. Florence Kups and Ruth Frudenval. June Coppola displayed her talent for dancing in a variety show, and caused the audience to sit up in amazement. She is not the only nimble footed of the class for we have Bob O‘Gorman, Bob Poster, Arthur Good- man, Arthur Nugent, Frank Stalks, Eddie Walsh, and Vincent Hanlon on the track and basketball teams. Nora Bonat (the man-hater) was a very active member. If it wasn’t a student patrol meeting, it was a sale of G. O. tickets. Frances Fabiano did her very best in collecting for the Red Cross. Last but not least, we honor and love that little fellow, who is rather prone to humor. He possesses an unusual com- bination of brains, witticism, and what have you. His name implies his character superbly . . . Ernest Vigdor (not vigor), the man with the bank-book. Mr. Van Houten left us at the end of our third year, and we wete very fortunate in having as his successor, Miss Brooker, who willingly assisted us in the purchase of our class rings. We had a re- election of class officers, and Louise Lupo was elected president; Gloria Castle, VicePresident; Sue Lardieri, Secretary, and Ernest Vigdor, Treasurer. Miss Eddy took us under her guidance a few months later. We celebrated Washington’s Birthday by having a suc- cessful “Victory Dance” thanks to Tony Szabo. Our class is noted for its inseparable pairs . Gene Kinney and (Defense stamp) Jenny,—the second cousins, Nora and Dorothy, (Mr. Birnbaum never could get them to go home on rationing days.) —Jerry and Angelo (poster boys),—Ruth Blinder and Harriet Berger (twins)—Lillian and Wanda (musicians) —Florence, Ruth and Gerry (three raving beauties) —Russell, Michele, Semour and George, (Is your name spelled correctly, Mike?) —Anna and Rose (any relation?) — Adele Walling and Genevieve Romanowski. Irene Sugalski, and Jeanette always seemed to get their classes during the same periods. Sure to find giggles when Rose Corona and Gussie get together. 29 REMEMBER WHEN... Gloria and Ernie had some trouble over that prune whip? Rita and Bobby said that they were engaged? Miss Shirley saw Arthur Nugent joy-rinding on a school day? Art Goodman “fell” for his letter? Bob O’Gorman was interviewed by the Scope as our most prominent basketball star? Agness and Gordon got engaged? We won a basketball game? (No?) Bob Poster threw those long shots? Evette London did her commando exercises in gym? Lillian would dance with none other than the Wassermans? Wanda played a solo on her fiddle in Miss Travel- sted’s Social Studies 2 class? Mr. Birnbaum calling Josephine M. a little Oriental Princess? The grand debates which took place between Rose Corona and Mr. Birnbaum? Affectionate Antoinette who wouldn’t let anyone by her without a big hello and caress? We were at a great loss when the following people left six months earlier than we expected: Genevieve Romanowski, Joan De Jonge, Sally Greenfield, David Margolis, Chester Tyjewski, and Richard Stone. The seniors will serve: We shall join the men and women serving in factories, on farms, and battlefields. Our art ability will be used mainly in helping the war effort. In March, Private Johnny Friggle joined the armed forces. He’s ‘probably climbing up and down the countryside in a tank, while Ralph Rocco is scrub- bing decks for the navy. Before long, many more of us will join them to do our bit in winning this war. GREMLINS The last bell is about to ring, I’m running through the halls, I trips and gets my legs mixed up, And on my mush I falls, So I’m a couple o minutes late, My teacher bawls me out. “Two hours after school,” she says And she warns me not to pout. Art is my first, period class, I was molding somethin’ swell I brought it out to show it off And on the floor it fell. A very stuffy room indeed Is my world history class. I tries to open a window, see But the pole goes through the glass. While working with some chemicals It’s good I’m near a sink, My mixture terns out to be Hos And golly!

Instead o° shoes and butter Why can’t they ration these? Louise LAMPARIELLO, 4B SIS TEREY LOVE Betty Travis—4B It started with Cain and Abel, and ended with my sister and me. Maybe we are related to them in some way. Who knows? We certainly have in- herited these traits from somewhere. It couldn’t be from the timid, peace loving Moeller family. Mother always sticks up for her side by saying that such temper could only come from the Travis family. But father will not have anything to do with us either. We're just orphans of inheritance. No one will admit that we take after them. That is as far as tempers go, but just let my sister win an award for writing the best composition on “Our Flag” and Mom and Dad almost forget they are of a timid nature, when they dispute over the question, “Where did sister inherit her literary ability from?” The same thing happened when I made my first cake at the age of six. Mother agreed with father, for the sake of avoiding an argument, that I was taking after my grandmother Travis, and would some day make the best apple pie in the state. But just let me so much as let the coffee boil over or let the potatoes burn, and he immediately forgets that broad statement he once made. He tells me he feels sorry for the man who marries me, and that I’ll never even learn how to boil water right. I certainly wish they would make up their minds. So there won’t be any confusion about the matter I think I’d better state that I have not murdered anyone—yet! But if she doesn’t stop wearing my tweed skirt and putting her knees in my back at night, I’m afraid to think of what might happen. Cain and Abel were full grown men when the disaster in their life happened. I wonder if their younger-days were leading up to it. Because if they were then I know what our future holds for us. I don’t think Cain and Abel started quite as young as sister and I did. at the time. I was only several months old Mother was giving me a bath. She left me for a few minutes to answer the knock at the door, with my sister in charge. When mother re- turned, there I was hanging in mid air with my four- year-old sister as the scaffold. Yes, she was jealous of me because I was getting much of the affection she had once received. I was innocent, believe me. ° 32 If I was innocent, it doesn’t mean I was always. I’m not claiming to be an angel, you can’t be with a sister like mine. When there are three boys and two girls in the family, you might know that the girls “get stuck” with the dish washing task. It seems as though drying dishes isn’t as bad as washing, for my sister and I always argued over who washed last. We both knew that along with washing dishes there were those enemies of all women, pots and pans and the greasy sink to clean. At the age of ten I had the mind to work my dish washing schedule out ahead of time so that I wouldn’t have to wash the Sunday dinner dishes. Can you imagine why? If you have a large family and relations who “just happen” to pop in after church, you can understand my situation. “Necessity is the mother of invention.” I’m quite sure Cain and Abel never fought over who was going to do the dishes, but I’m not so sure about the opposite sex. Sister and I don’t have too many spats over that dull subject, for men are a dull Besides, my sister goes for blonds while I subject. prefer dark men. Sometimes I wonder what life would be like with- out a sister. It would be wonderful to sleep through the night with all the covers you want and not wake up in the middle of the night, half frozen to death, or wake up the next morning without a dent in my It would be wonderful to have my own clothes all to myself, to get up in the morning and find the outfit I planned to wear that day still hanging in the closet, and even back where my sister had her knees. socks to match. But then when I think twice about the matter, I Life just wouldn’t be the same without sister and me fighting begin to realize that I would miss her. over the funnies, the icing bowl, or pushing the job of going for the evening paper and Dad’s cigarettes on each other. Father and Mother keep telling us that our actions are not lady-like, but it is just our nature to disagree with each other. I guess we were never meant to be sisters. But because we are, we’re doing the best we It started with Cain and Abel, and ended with my sister and me! can to make a go of it. INDUSTRIAL AMERICA I saw the carpenter’s flying chips, He helped to build the American ships; I saw that ship go down the rail And heard them cry, “Let her sail.” I felt the heat of the smelting pot And the steel within it, red and hot; I heard the furnace as it rumbled and roared, Something new was created when the steel finally poured. I heard the buzzing of a mother’s machine, While in her mind an image so keen Of the son somewhere off in a faraway land Reappeared, and she sewed lending a helping hand. I saw from the poor, darkened soil The steady pumping of the precious oil; Not oil for automobiles, but all kinds of ships W here men sweat in boiler rooms to sail treacherous trips. The nation is lending a helping hand To make America a free land. —ADELE WALLING, 4A oF) I ie AE RD Bitar pen f NICHOLAS TSIRIKOS - - - 367 6th Avenue Mention school spirit and up pops Nick, Mayor of the new Student Council.

JULIUS VICTOR PROVINE - - 255 Park Avenue Reaching the mark of five feet five inches, with a pretty girl on one hand and a receipt book in the other, Julius went through Arts High. If you ever want anything done, just ask J. P. Julius has done wonders for the track, cross-country, Student Coun- cil, Scope, Vignette, Student Patrol and Basketball team. As far as his future is concerned, Uncle Sam is taking care of that. We know he'll make good. DORIS M. WANKMULLER - - 799 Ridge Street Doris thinks of more things to do than any other girl we know. She's a Scope reporter, President of the Junior Red Cross, and she is on the Vignette Staff. She likes to make flowers as a hobby, and is a football and ping-pong fan. Interior Decoration has caught Doris’ eye and she plans to go to college to continue in that field. But who knows? Perhaps the W.A.A.C.'s call is stronger.

He's now a very ardent supporter of the Aeronautics Club. If he enlists, we hope that he'll be able to employ his art interest in some successful way. On the whole, Mike is one of ihe RITA CARDOZA - - - 32 Mt. Pleasant Avenue Rita Cardoza, otherwise known as the ‘Blonde Bomber, ’ is a tall, pretty, young lady. Rita is an all-round outdoor girl, fond of popular sports. She is interested in bowling, swimming, and horseback riding. You can be sure of finding Rita making thumb nail sketches instead of reading the ‘‘Con- stitution.’’ While Rita is knitting, not one of our boys in far-off freezing lands will be cold. Cross knitting is her favorite hobby. 47 Mt. Prospect Avenue How will we ever forget Sue, whose pet practice is to call everyone ‘“‘Shortie?”’ nicest girls in our class. Aviation, photography, and college prep chemistry attract Sue in a big way. She was a member of the Fencing, Photo, and Garden Clubs and also the Student Patrol. Sue in- tends to go to Pratt Institute, to further her talent for fashion designing.

He's a great ad- mirer of ‘‘Petty.”’ There's a serious side to him also. He's great at building model airplanes. When Louis is elegible for the army, Uncle Sam wanis him. for his work in camouflage, and we all know that it is an important division in the war effort. Louis, here’s luck to you!

MARIA VICTORIA ELIZABETH D'ANGELO 55 Montgomery Avenue Central lost one of its best students when Maria came to Arts to study music. She belonged to several clubs and the Choir.

She's one of our most agreeable girls and we know that whatever she does, or wherever she goes, she will be a success LORRAINE E. ETTMUELLER, 232 Chadwick Avenue “Une Petite Cherie.’ That's Lorraine, our pint sized glamour girl, with flowing golden tresses. Her nice figure is probably the result of the roller skating, tennis, and horse-back riding that she does. The girl is a whiz at all these sports, and another whiz with the fellows. You can be sure that there is always a flock of admirers following her. Although she is small, she has plenty of oomph behind tha slight form. ALFRED HAROLD GROEGER - 828 Bergent Street Happy-go-lucky is the title for Al.

Her plans for the future are a little dim right now, but whatever she does, we JULIA MARIE STANISLAW - - 385 Market Street julia came to Arts from East Side in her junior year, and she's made herself right at home.

After gradu- ation Juila expects to attend Art college to study her special interest, fashion illustration. CAROLINE LYDIA STANTON - - 19 Darcy Street HERBERT LEONARD SILVERMAN, 12 Dewey Street Collecting jazz records is the hobby of Herb. However, you must admit that he has an apprecia- tion of fine art and music. Perhaps that’s the reason he wants to be a second Michelangelo or Benny Goodman. But, of course, we can't look too. far into the future. Whether it be Michelangelo or Benny Goodman or a United States soldier, we know that Herb will reach the top. Caroline is quieter than a mouse, but you can hear her when she’s on Hall Patrol duty. Besides being a member of the Student Patrol, she belongs to the Photo Club.

BETTY THERESA TRAVIS - - 210 Sunset Avenue We point with pride to none other than Betty, who started Arts in her sophomore year as a top honor student, and has been one ever since. Full of ambition, she was an active member of the Art Service Club and Student Council for one year. You can find her spreading joy during the assembly periods, as a member of the Dramatic Club. She intends to continue in the art field. Most of her time is spent drawing, roller skating, and making friends. see how active Otto is by the above list. OTTO ARTHUR WAGNER, Jr. - - 71 Lang Street Fine and Commercial Arts—always joking, Otto is liked by both boys and girls. His hopes for the future carry him into the art field, Commercial Art. Some of his favorite hobbies are gardening, stamps, painting tropical fish and movies. His sports in- cluded swimming, ice and roller skating. You can JULES LEO WASSERMAN, 529 South 17th Street Uncle Sam is going to have one great helper in the form of Jules Wasserman, when he is of age. Photography and commercial art, for morale build- ing, are his favorite dish, and his one ambition is to be a good commercial artist. He’s a great teaser and joker and can get on everyone's nerves, but that doesn't stop him from being liked by both teachers and fellow students. He's really an all- around good kid. SEYMOUR WASSERMAN: - 529 South 17th Street Don't confuse Seymour with Jules just because they look much alike. They are entirely different. He is one of the few members of our class who is not called by a shortened name. He has been blessed with an elfish grin and an unconquerable wit. His ambition is to become a commercial artist, but to the members of the class, he will always remain our version of movielands ‘‘Alfalfa.”’ DOROTHY M. WEINING - - 19 So. 13th Street Find a basketball game, and there’s Dot; one of our team's most ardent sup porters. In spite of her quiet ways, she’s full of school spirit. Here before the earliest teacher and out with the last. Her first love is the Junior Red Cross in School. She has no immediate plans for her future, but we know that whatever she attempts she'll be successful. Lots of luck to you, Dorothy. DOROTHY YANESON - - - 305 16th Avenue Dorothy is one of the brightest and most active girls ever to attend Arts High. She has been associ- ated with the Student Patrol, Red Cross, Latin and Art Clubs. She was also the associate editor of the Vignette, and President of the Library Guild. She enjoys all sports, especially swimming and bicycling. Dottie dances beautifully, and we'll bet that she’s related to Arthur Murray. With that trim figure, she certainly will look wonderful in that Marine Corps uniform she'll wear before long. WILLIAM FINDHANDLER - - 534 Clinton Avenue “Bill” is now a member of our armed forces. His favorite pastime is writing and acting out clown sketches, reading, and indulging in athletics. Bill is known to be a very able student and was often seen walking through the halls with his camel hair coat slung.over his shoulder. Although his wit and humor were known to all, there is still a lot to be learned about him! SPRINGTIME When the earth is turned to spring, Once when I was very young, The worms are fat as anything. I put a worm right on my tongue. The birds come flying all around, I didn’t like the taste a bit, To eat the worms right off the ground. ‘And so I did not swallow it. They like the worms like you and I Now it makes my mother squirm, Like bread, and milk, and apple pie. Because she thinks I ate that worm. —ANGELO D’Anprga, 3A 46 4 BS IN REVIEW RiTA CARDOZA 7 ¥ ANGELINA RIGOPOULOS JULEs AND SEYMouR WASSERMAN Four years ago we, the class of January, 1944 of Arts High School, entered the school with high spirits and a gleeful eye on the future. Shortly after our atrival some seniors came into the auditorium where we were huddfed, and passed comments like: “They come smaller every year.” Much abashed we were then divided into several homeroom groups. Our first term went by uneventfully except for hard work. We were rewarded, however, at the end of the term by being promoted to the sophomore year. In spite of our high hopes, we found our second year much the same as the first. Ah, but the third year! Something new had been added. We had a new counselor, the unforgettable Mr. Lowry, and with him came our first class organization. Like order out of chaos, we elected our first presi- dent, Nick Tsirikos. However, our meetings were sometimes disrupted by an argument between Nick who is a Giant fan and Louise Lampariello, a Dodger fan. Imagine the complications! Jim Murren was elected vice-president, but in the third year, he en- listed in the army air corps. His place was taken by Edward Brendel with Doris Wankmuller as sec- retary and Julius Provine as treasurer. It might be interesting to note that all officers retained their posi- tions until graduation. ' During that term our president, Nick, became Mayor of the first Student Council. Rita Cardoza and Angie Rigopoulos were selected decorators ex- traordinary for the dance probably because no one else knew how to dress a gym up on thirty-five cents and two cardboard boxes. Our Hallowe’en Dance was a huge success, with Sue Caruso, Caroline Stanton, Doris Ervey, and Chris Stavros taking high honors as ticket sellers. 47 Connie Nerres and Gloria Herman did their best to off-set the gloom which surrounded some of our teachers by spreading sunshine wherever they went. About this time, several of our art students entered the Scholastic Art Contest. Herb Silverman, Mike Del Mauro and Jules L. Wasserman, of Wasserman and Wasserman, Inc. won prizes or honorable men- tion. Meanwhile, we had been duly convinced that when we were seniors we would have to memorize the entire Constitution of the United States, but when we arrived we discovered differently. We had to memorize only half of it, plus half of New Jersey’s Constitution. About this time we began to be concerned about the draft. Several of our fellows had already enlisted, but Otto Wagner promised to remain with us for a while. St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated by a 4B dance. We could hardly see Lorraine Ettmueller for the enormous green poster she wore in the form of a hair ribbon. Because of the proceeds of this dance, Anne Scaglione started us thinking about more class funds for our Vignette. There were lots of suggestions, among which were skating parties and a formal dance, but we decided to wait until later in the term for these. By now Miss Howard told us we had to get on the job because our yearbook must go to press in the near future. Ergo, Betty Travis promptly received the doubtful honor of collecting class dues. Poor girl! This made it difficult for Margie Cuzzolino to collect the money for the war stamps she’d already sold. Finally, the Vignette was printed and this closed a door upon the best years of our lives. In spite of all our difficulties, we thank Miss Howard, art advisor, Mr. Herron, literary advisor and Mr. Lowry, business advisor for the success of the Vignette and our high school years. ORK FOR VICTORY ¢ | JUNE CLASS OF 1944 3 A’S IN REVIEW Norma PAGANO Attention, students of Arts High! This is radio station A-H-S bringing you the latest from the de- partments of the 3A class of 1944. Though known for its interest in school activities and grade A students, the group would be incomplete without an all around clown, and judging by some of the predicaments Fred Krumm gets himself into, this is easily confirmed. Edward Higby rates as an- other top jokester, but his hilariously stilted sense of humor doesn’t fool his teachers, much! That little butterfly, just knee high to a grass- hopper, seen constantly flitting into homeroom late, can be none other than Renee Price, who takes great pride indeed in arriving on time for at least one whole 50 week. Then we are proud to present that brilliant orator to be, that second Mark Antony, our hand- some Seymour Farber. Have you wondered what he really looks like minus the beard? Hardly notice- able because of his serene silence but outstanding in I. Q. is our own child prodigy, Robert Meola, who, outside of school, it seems, just sheds his timid cloak, and is rarin’ to go! Emerging from the spotlights comes our one and only incendiary bombshell, Angela Lonero, whose wardrobe of becoming clothes seems never diminished. That slender, sophisticated girl, Connie Rosa, with definite polish, acts as Angie’s social advisor and sets a pretty good pace for herself. Pearl (shorty) Eagle- —————— son, who introduced the “just-out-of-bed” hairdo in Arts High, is a real favorite with all the fellows, but I hate to think of where she’d stand if they ever rationed “heels.” (I mean for shoes, of course.) Full of ambition and really talented in Art, Pauline De Rosa shows a promising career ahead of her. The more luck to her. Maybe it would not work for everyone but it seems that by conserving energy in all his majors, Edmund Cohan has built up a magnificent talent for art, (and girls). Possibly you’ve seen that threesome, Marcia Krasny, Dorothy Torppy, and Jeanne Gordon, running wild through the halls during a surprise air-raid. They’re just waiting patiently for a real victim to work their first-aid on. Among that pile of baggy pants and jackets is Bernard Herr, who takes such pride in his zoot clothes, that we must admit he’s “sharp.” Ten years from now, while pushing through the subway jams at Grand Central, I think we'll still remember the ribs we broke by struggling through the locker room. Ask that squabbling, but inseparable pair Terry Zampino and Norma Pagano, who are always the last ones in and out of the locker room, because unfortunately their locker is marooned in the back. That hopping, humming bird, Lena Gifoli, is that tall darkhaired, attractive girl who is always complaining that she can’t find a boy who is even a fraction of an inch taller than she, so she finally settled for a childhood sweetheart, incidentally short. Cute, sweet-natured, and very simple is popular Esther Richliano, who is the victim of many of Fred Krumm’s pranks. A mention of this fact will cer- tainly make her blood pressure rise. Charles Keil and his companion, Wilbur Kerner, are two who have certainly become popular in Arts High, (especially with the girls). They’ve even participated in track and swimming meets. The one to be mentioned for real school spirit is 51 Mary Schuster, whose enthusiasm and willingness to help has done a lot for Arts High. Dorothy Berk, Adele Allison, Louella Gunnell, those dare-devil hep-cats who are sure to be seen at Helene Halo, Irene Robins, and Phoebe Parnes are all the school dances and are usually found back- stage with the boys. (The radio guild, of course.) That short, conflicting pair, Joe Del Guercio (class president) and Reginald Rodell are two to keep you in hysterics, and Bill De Martino is that tall blond fellow who’s seen sneaking into the “Paramount” to see all the pictures. (He happens to be an usher.) If you are ever in need of Frank Pietruha, Martin Cohen, Carmella Montano, Myrtle Monedas, Ger- trude Muessle or Waltrude Buergel, all you need do is take a trip down to B9, where you'll be sure to find them disputing some subject as usual. Don Winship, fond of handling snakes, has finally become immune to their bites, but he’d better beware of the fatal bite of the love bug. Sidney Yarnold, Nick Siccone, and Mike Calluori make up a three- some which is unbreakable in spirit, but quite riotous. Henrietta Galloway is that quiet brown-haired girl who plays the piano in the assembly, and that rather noisy foursome that comes tramping in from lunch every day is made up by Anna Palazzo, Dorothy Gonska, Dorothy Scablinski, and Antoinette Aulita. Always full of fun and very comical is the English girl, Anne Norton, whom we will be very sorry to lose, because she intends to finish school a term earlier. We would also like to express our appreciation to Mr. Faber for “bearing down on us” and for all the swell advice he has given us. We wish the seniors riches of luck and success in the future. But now, forgive me, I must flee, for if the juniors find this fifth-columnist among them, well!!! JANUARY CLASS OF 1945 3 BS REVIEW Bos ELKER — Marvin YESKEL If anyone were to ask an Arts High student what class was the happiest in old A. H. S., the answer nine times out of ten would most probably be, “Why, the 3B’s, naturally! Who else?” And we are! The janitors’ idea of a nightmare! We make so much noise, what with laughter and giggles from corny jokes. We're driving them all to an early grave. 3B! The term when many students quit school to go to work. The term that most students get tired of school and play truant. However, when they get to the third grade, they begin to realize that the high school years should be the happiest and most carefree years of their life. Yes, we 3B’s have our serious side, too. That’s most evident when we hear that a fellow classmate has quit our school to go to work or to another school. In that category so far, are the following pupils: Michael Gural—A swell all-around fellow. Bessie Panagakos—A quite unassuming girl. Earl Schlee—He’s now at Casey Jones. Norma Chiappinelli—A musical mind. Helen George—A real friendly girl. Gloria Perna—A real beauty. Margaret Flannery—A friend when in need. When we first came to Arts High, we must admit we were held in awe by the large, stately building, the cafeteria, the large auditorium and the splendid library. 32 In our second year our counsellor was the late Mr. Floyd Deardorff. In him we found a trusting and sympathetic helper and friend. We were both shocked and bewildered when we heard of his untimely death on March 21, 1943. May he rest in peace... . Also in the beginning of our second year, Mrs. Janet Fulop, our homeroom teacher, became ill and had to leave for the West. We look forward to her return. . However, we were quite “lucky” when Miss Anna Johnson took her place. She’s swell! She can take a joke and that’s more than some people can do. That’s what we need in this time of stress and de- struction. ... Our third year has been short so far, but it has not been uneventful. Most of us have changed into young men and women from the “scrawny, thin, shapeless” boys and girls of 1B... . Many of our, girls have the earmarks of beau- ties; we can already see some heartbreakers among thetas a... And the boys aren’t so bad either, say we, hope- fully. We've grown taller, stronger, and some of us have even gotten handsome. . . . Yes, indeed, we have changed in two and a half years. But by this time next year we'll have changed even more, in attitude and looks—but until then, we remain, the class of January 45. SERVE FOR VICTORY an Bae ¥ 4 i $i JUNE CLASS OF 1945 2 A’S IN REVIEW Rose Marie ALBERTI The 2A class has had very little happen to it the course of its two years’ stay at Arts High. To Miss Kruck, our counselor, we give a sincere vote of one for her unrelenting help in select- ing our subjects and guiding us along. The rest of the faculty have become our friends. Miss Keehner introduced us to Shakespeare’s works, while Mr. Chasen so heroically stood up under the strain of teaching so many of us our first Spanish. Biology with Mr. Faber has been an- other favorite among the 2A students. No! Nothing much happened to us in our two years at Arts. But the faculty will, as we see them turn gray during one term of trying to teach us, realize that our feeble attempts at using the so-called human brain have been almost futile. True, we all shall remember “Julius Caesar” and dissecting our first bug. Groping through geom- etry was no picnic either, but we did it! Speaking of groping, will you ever forget the first time you were called upon to read a sentence in Spanish? Ah, yes! Nothing has happened to us, but just look at Arts High! After we were here one year, the Student Council was organized. Many of us 57 are participating in this far-famed organization as aldermen or on student patrols. Oh, yes, it came last September and with it more rules and regulations than any of us attempt to remember. Then in our second year at Arts, our unanimous wish was fulfilled. A basketball team was organ- ized! There weren’t many of our sophomore fellows on the team, but did ee see us at the games? Yes, indeed, we were there. Funny how seniors don’t seem so big to us any more, at least not as big and important as they did when we were freshmen. Perhaps that’s because we know so many of them so well. Oh, golly! Will the art teachers ever forgive me? Yes we're all Art students, and drawing still lifes is very familiar to us all. Perspective, ah! Well, it’s still a box whether it’s in perspec- tive or not. “Oh, yeah,” says teacher, “either it’s ‘A perspective or it’s not.” So we meekly oblige, “Okay, teach, perspective it is.” Did someone say that nothing has happened to us? Well, after this you will all probably change your minds . . . Maybe! JANUARY CLASS OF 1946 2 BS IN REVIEW LoursE DUCHEK — VERA ARMENTI PENELOPE KOUNELIAS It seems like only yesterday the class of Janu- ary 1943 enrolled as freshmen in Arts High School. Being a “freshie” is a great feeling, even though we were ridiculed by the seniors. During our first few weeks in Arts High we were very studious. But, then we began to know the school, teachers and students better and were no longer very interested in our studies. Our class became very attached to Miss Keehner because she not only helped us with our English, but also with our outside work. 58 I know most of us will never forget the time Sam Butler and John Cerami were fooling in Science. Sam and John accidentally broke the ten-gallon fish tank in Mr. Faber’s room. There were no casualties, but both boys were awfully wet, with fish in their pockets and down their collars. The class had a good laugh, but that wasn’t the only laugh we had in Mr. Faber’s room. Yes, sir, 420 was a cheerful room! Remember when the seniors sold some of us those elevator tickets, and how. we searched in ———— ie Te 24} “7 3 vain for the elevators. And remember how we used to play tag in front of the school; well we’ve grown up, now we play marbles. Soon the weather became warm and in no time our exams were running after us. We received our report cards and there were no more books or studies to worry about for a while because vacation was here. But no sooner had our vacation started, than it was over and we found ourselves back in school again. We were now in 1A and all we could think about was what fun vacation had been while it lasted. Our 1A term was a most en- joyable one because at long last Arts High de- cided to have a basketball team. We were very proud of Sam Butler and Sheridan Comerate, two stars from our class. Although we haven’t won a game we've plenty of spirit. Our class also ranked high in the purchase of G. O. tickets. Hey, what’s this? Pardon us—but we’re entitled to some space, even if we just came. We're the 2B Commercial students and here’s our story: Time was when we had fun on the school yard swings, when we broke some of the teachers things, one mischievous yesterday. We all suf- fered when little Butch B. had a brainstorm on April Fools day. We wrote a love letter to our teacher and signed the name of the handsomest” teacher in the school and then ah, ah. . . Form your own conclusions. Over there in Robert Treat we all struggled through the 9th grade to get our final marks straight for our long awaited Gradiation Day. One beautiful day we “unjustly” had detention because...er...a...we were bad. We were told to do some work but our minds weren’t on work. Seeing this our teacher reprimanded us. Then like a heaven sent gift a sling-shot ap- peared on Butch’s desk. Before we could utter a sound... BINGO! The class was in an uproar. Then as the teacher took her seat to rest... she found no rest as someone had placed a tack on the chair. Do you remember class? Here we are in Arts High, the most modern school in our city. But... the architect must have had Greenwich Village in mind when he designed the lunch room, for as the old saying goes “Artists don’t make enough to eat.” (Now don’t let us discourage you Artists.) I guess he never counted on having Com- mercial students attend Arts High for a semester. But in all, Arts High does appeal to us. Prob- ably most of us will be sorry to leave. Here’s the 2B Art class back again. Time flew by for us even quicker than before. We are now Sophomores. At least we feel that we’re at a point where our diplomas seem within reach—and it won’t be too long now. CONSERVE FOR VICTORY CLASSES OF JUNE 1946 AND JANUARY 1947 1 ACS eEN REVIE Wa ee ANTHONY CoNCORSO It was in September, 1942 that the ominous black cloud settled on Arts High. A group of new students entered the portals of this institution. This meant disaster for a good many of the teachers of Arts High. We have our good and bad points. As an example if the latter, we nearly drove our mathematics teachers to insanity, not because of our rude manners, but because of our thick skulls. We still don’t understand 4A minus 3B. And then, there was Tom-Cat Gorman, who has sent many a grammar school teacher to an asylum for the criminally insane. He does a wonderful imitation of a cat and has plagued the faculty with it since last September. Some unfortunate teacher would be stand- ing at her desk teaching, when she heard the unearthly howl of a cat emerging from the back of the room. Well, it was not one cat, as she thought, but two—Tom Gorman and Dan Paternoster, his fellow mimic. As examples of the students who have risen in Arts High’s social world there are Ray Harris and Saul Karafky, who are members of the stage crew and the student organization, the G. O. . . . Pearl Friedman, our alderman, left us to go to South Side to change her course. We miss her greatly. Have you ever seen a dream walking? Well, I haven't. But [ve seen some of the students walking and I’d like to describe this abnormal behavior. For instance, there are the students who like to pretend that their feet weigh fifty pounds 7 62 y LuciLttE PALUMBO apiece and that they can’t lift them off the ground. Just notice Saul Karafsky, Henry Jordan, Martin Makow, not to mention Jean Mersfelder, Louise Daniels, Adele Schwartz and Dolores Del Russo. And, of course, there is always Rudolph Siegalovsky, who bobs up and down like a Jack-in- the-Box. In our estimation, the all-around fair-and-square average boy in our class is curly haired Marco Corragio. Do you remember the time that Letitia Pinkett, our actress, returned to school after an absence with a red left eye? She had been playing Abe Lincoln with a hatchet and logs and a piece of wood had jumped into her eye. Most of us are art students. Our most common complaint is probably, ““Why must we learn perspective, abstract de- signing, and pai nting still life?” We thick-skulled pupils will probably ask the same questions until our fourth year. Lillian Jesten, Jean Dowd, Lucille Palumbo, and Gloria Besosa usually make the honors. Other class stand-outs are Charles Hornstein, Joel Vasey, Florence Widerkehr, Earl Gitter, and James Daly, We're signing off now and we want to extend our gratitude and thanks to all the members of the faculty who have helped us in this awkward year. 1 BS IN REVIEW RosE SABLE Crash! Bang! Boom!—Nothing like that was heard when we, the Freshmen Class of 43, came into Arts High School. When we first entered, we were as- tonished by the way the sophomores, juniors and seniors ignored us. Scared out of our wits, our knees trembling, and an entirely innocent look on our faces, we walked into our first period class, General Science. The teacher was none other than that man, Mr. Chasen. At the end of that first day, we took a deep breath, our knees no longer shaking, and made ready for tomorrow. In time we became accustomed to the indifference of our superiors. In this school we have our rights and are treated very well, but the embarrassing mo- ments that all freshmen have to go through are still lurking around the corner. As the days and months, full of joys and sorrows, swiftly pass by, we gain in knowledge and experience. Pushed on by some mystical hammer we are all striv- ing to grasp and hold the better things of life. It is to our teachers we look when we hear the saying: “Within my walls some children came, Unripe, perplexed and thin I will nourish and enlighten them And send them out as men.” Such for the serious side—and now we give you us: A class full of genius, of beauty and poise— Who must break the perfection but Richard G. By making a noise. Meeson K. and Rose S. are the inseparable friends And Rose Brunello plays the music that blends, Beatrice never is loud but “still waters run deep” When girls are around you'll find Thomas asleep— Cris, won’t you tell us whom you like this time? You have enough boy friends, so choose one whose name will rhyme. Jo and Nick are battling— A black eye every minute Or sparring according to rules, While August, the cynic, suggests a clinic For such an array of fools. The bell always rings for Edna and Dolores much too soon— Instead of climbing only four flights of stairs It seem like climbing to the moon. Who is that boy so unmistakable said Born as a youth, that saying he will always dread. Yes, it’s Clifford Pizza— That sweet girl Nina, who is so very small; Just give her time and she'll be tall. Walter Jackson is never relaxin’ But still he’s got his eyes on Catherine. Seymour Plager is the Russian major, Pauline Bonat is quite tall, but she doesn’t talk at all. Marilyn Ward you know her too, she likes to flirt as all girls do, Lucille is liked by all and Richard is the one who falls. Julius A. is usually blue for he always gets into a stew... And so 1B passes in review. | TEACH FOR VICTORY - MEMBERS OF FACULTY Harrison E. WEBB M. BernicE HAMILTON JEANETTE G. BARNETT MariANnE M. BEANE Max BiIRNBAUM Naomi BrRooKER Mary T.

The day of deliverance for the seniors and the judgment day for the teachers! Four years, yes, four solid years (for some a little longer) did we toil and sweat and cut and cheat! Four years of reading poetry that meant absolutely nothing to us! What did we care if an apple was described with eleven different ad- jectives—it. was still an apple, wasn’t it? And who cares anything about Shakespeare? Sure, he wrote a lot of stuff—some of it pretty good, but we ask you, did he ever write about people like Flash Gordon or the Brooklyn Dodgers? And another thing—what does diagraming a sentence have to do with how well a person can rivet or weld? Yes. Four years of patiently waiting for bulletins from the lunch room front, stating when half a chair would be available. But we didn’t mind much! We'd like, at this time especially, to bid farewell to history teachers. Farewell to dates, and outlines, and tests containing two or three hundred questions. Oh, to be through with it all! And fond farewells to our dear science teachers. We shall surely miss them and their explosives and their strange smells. Without their assistance, how would we ever be able to make wonderful H2S bombs guaranteed to blow to bits anything within a five-mile radius. The envy of all schools! Art and music teachers were perhaps the most patient of all. What other group of teachers would endure four years of coaxing along a gang of pupils of almost average intelligence and a questionable amount of talent? There were some swell teachers who almost took the sting out of going to school—some who gave us three or four chapters a night to prepare. We got some things accomplished with the aid of some teach. ers—tlike the student organization, the G. O. So maybe in some respects the teachers were “kind of O. K.” But that’s not saying that they are all reason- able. Somehow unreasonableness seems to be the predominating characteristic of some. Imagine any teacher expecting a student to struggle with home work when his favorite band is in town. It’s unheard of! Freshman Days! A time when yearlings needed guidance, a helping shove, a kind smile. But what happened? We innocent babes were thrust into the yawing mouth of an algebra room. How could the teachers possibly dream of teaching us equations and hypotonooses? We had been reared on the three times table and Superman. It was about this time that some genius had the brainstorm of supplying each poor unsuspecting class with a counsellor. Weren’t we harassed enough? What persons in their right minds would bring their trials and tribulations to a counsellor when John iF Anthony was so near at hand? Some of us had an overdose of vitamin pills as children, and so we went in for sports. Here we were again besieged by teachers who insisted on fussing around doing nothing but upsetting us with silly tules of playing and training. As if we had to be told the best way to slug a fellow to get him out of the game. Some, after much practicing went in for field activities, and some receive championships. This perhaps may give the reader the idea that we do not like teachers, but we assure you that we have nothing but respect for such people. And so with some real and some affected tears and water-soaked handkerchiefs, we leave you, dear teachers, you who have taught us how to make margins on papers, you who have taught us the fine art of washing test tubes, you who have caused the first gray hairs to appear, but we guess we're not half so glad as you teachers are to be rid of us. How about that?
