Wanda Bilas and Lillian Cherinchaw were our class musicians. Florence Kups and Ruth Frudenval. June Coppola displayed her talent for dancing in a variety show, and caused the audience to sit up in amazement. She is not the only nimble footed of the class for we have Bob O‘Gorman, Bob Poster, Arthur Good- man, Arthur Nugent, Frank Stalks, Eddie Walsh, and Vincent Hanlon on the track and basketball teams. Nora Bonat (the man-hater) was a very active member. If it wasn’t a student patrol meeting, it was a sale of G. O. tickets. Frances Fabiano did her very best in collecting for the Red Cross. Last but not least, we honor and love that little fellow, who is rather prone to humor. He possesses an unusual com- bination of brains, witticism, and what have you. His name implies his character superbly . . . Ernest Vigdor (not vigor), the man with the bank-book. Mr. Van Houten left us at the end of our third year, and we wete very fortunate in having as his successor, Miss Brooker, who willingly assisted us in the purchase of our class rings. We had a re- election of class officers, and Louise Lupo was elected president; Gloria Castle, VicePresident; Sue Lardieri, Secretary, and Ernest Vigdor, Treasurer. Miss Eddy took us under her guidance a few months later. We celebrated Washington’s Birthday by having a suc- cessful “Victory Dance” thanks to Tony Szabo. Our class is noted for its inseparable pairs . Gene Kinney and (Defense stamp) Jenny,—the second cousins, Nora and Dorothy, (Mr. Birnbaum never could get them to go home on rationing days.) —Jerry and Angelo (poster boys),—Ruth Blinder and Harriet Berger (twins)—Lillian and Wanda (musicians) —Florence, Ruth and Gerry (three raving beauties) —Russell, Michele, Semour and George, (Is your name spelled correctly, Mike?) —Anna and Rose (any relation?) — Adele Walling and Genevieve Romanowski. Irene Sugalski, and Jeanette always seemed to get their classes during the same periods. Sure to find giggles when Rose Corona and Gussie get together. 29 REMEMBER WHEN... Gloria and Ernie had some trouble over that prune whip? Rita and Bobby said that they were engaged? Miss Shirley saw Arthur Nugent joy-rinding on a school day? Art Goodman “fell” for his letter? Bob O’Gorman was interviewed by the Scope as our most prominent basketball star? Agness and Gordon got engaged? We won a basketball game? (No?) Bob Poster threw those long shots? Evette London did her commando exercises in gym? Lillian would dance with none other than the Wassermans? Wanda played a solo on her fiddle in Miss Travel- sted’s Social Studies 2 class? Mr. Birnbaum calling Josephine M. a little Oriental Princess? The grand debates which took place between Rose Corona and Mr. Birnbaum? Affectionate Antoinette who wouldn’t let anyone by her without a big hello and caress? We were at a great loss when the following people left six months earlier than we expected: Genevieve Romanowski, Joan De Jonge, Sally Greenfield, David Margolis, Chester Tyjewski, and Richard Stone. The seniors will serve: We shall join the men and women serving in factories, on farms, and battlefields. Our art ability will be used mainly in helping the war effort. In March, Private Johnny Friggle joined the armed forces. He’s ‘probably climbing up and down the countryside in a tank, while Ralph Rocco is scrub- bing decks for the navy. Before long, many more of us will join them to do our bit in winning this war.

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,
