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.

ESTELLE THOMAS - - - - -- 50 High Street Estelle can always be found having a humorous IRENE SUGALSKI - - - success. instead of continuing in the art field. 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

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,
