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.

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.

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?
