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. JOSEPHINE KOCH - - - - 71 Sunset Avenue Jo is a girl with an incomparable sense of humor. When she and Florence K. got together ina class, they drove the teacher to distraction. 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!

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. HELEN JUSTER - - - - - 639 Parker Street Arts High has enjoyed the presence of Helen, who entered it in her junior year. She came from Good Counsel High School in Newark. While here she has done a great deal of literary work for the Vignette and has been a faithful member of the Photo Club. Helen also enjoys doing gymnastic work and is in- terested in athletics. 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.

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. Was a member of Patrol, Scope Staff, and Art Club. She wants to be an art teacher. THELMA LIAPIS - - - - 114 Orange Street A more sincere person than Thelma cannot be found anywhere. She is generous, thoughtful, and kind.. Her broad sense of humor always keeps her smiling. Her hobbies are dancing and music appre- ciation. She was vice-president of the Junior Red Cross and a member of the Student Patrol. After graduation she plans to work and attend night school. We are not worried over her future welfare because the world is sure to treat this fine person with kindness. fashion school after graduation.
