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. It’s a rare occasion to see Ann by her- self because she and Rose Pizzuolo are an insepar- able pair. When Ann graduates, she expects to continue her art training until she is old enough to join the W.A.A.C. ROSE PIZZUOLO - - - 462 North 6th Street Rosie may be short, but she never goes unnoticed. She has been for many years associated with the school choir and has been a very active member playing the accordion for us on several occasions. She is also a member of the Motet Choir. Rose en- joys bowling a great deal and belonged to the Bowling Club. After graduation Rose hopes to at- tend college and become a music teacher. ROBERT POSTER - - - 159 Chancellor Avenue If you should see a couple of girls walking by in the halls and sighing their hearts away you'll know ‘Bob’ has been around. Bob has been a member of the Swimming Team and one of the star players on our Basketball Team. He has always been ath- letically inclined inside and outside of school. Al- though we know Bob would like to become an artist, he now wants to get into the Army Air Corps.

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. Her main ambition has always been to become a famous dress-designer and she expecis to continue her studies in Traphagen School of Fash- ion. Writing to lonesome soldiers in the armed forces has kept her very busy. She is also interested in sports. spends her spare time by bowling or going roller skating and is very light on her feet when it comes to doing gymnastic work. When Yolanda comes of age she hopes to enter the Marine Re- serve.

ANGELO RAFTOPOULAS 893 Broadway When Angelo entered Arts High he met ‘‘Jerry”’ and they have been inseparable ever since. His work in the commercial art field has always been of fine quality. The Scope has been benefited by his humorous cartoons of ‘‘Earle’’ which were usually made up during his favorite period—4th period lunch, of course. Angelo's interests have been in swimming, horseback riding, and bike riding. After graduation he will help Uncle Sam to victory and DRIPH ROCCO: -' 6 3°87 High Street. then continue his art work. 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. GUSSIE ROSSILLI - - - - 2412 Webster Street Gussie is that tall, slim girl with a sunny disposi- tion, which makes her a good classmate and stu- dent. She holds everyone's interest with those cute little jokes. Gussie has been in the Dramatic Club for one half of a year and was a member of the Student Patrol. 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.
