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?

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.

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.
