Wilbur Kerner 50 Boylan Street If you see a fellow walking cheerily down the hall, whistling some little ditty, you will know it is Smiley Kerner. Wilbur has the uncanny knack of making you smile as he takes your money. And as class Treasurer, he sure does take it. One morning about six o'clock while out riding, we passed Wilbur delivering orders on a bike, that’s what you call a hard worker. In his spare time, Will builds model airplanes and boats. It is no surprise to us that Will won his “A” for swimming. After hearing all of this, we can't help but know that this is another of Miss Travelsted’s boys. =I944 JUNE Angelo D'Andrea 40—7th Avenue If you should see a group of girls walking by in the halls with a dreamy expression in their eyes, you'll know Angelo has been around. Angelo is a very popular figure, and one of the most talented vocalists Arts High has to offer. His countless solos have sent chills down our spines during holiday and graduation seasons, and his frequent appear- ances at the Mosque and Essex House have certainly made us proud of him. Angelo’s ambition is to be a ballad singer of radio stardom, and we hope his stay at the Juilliard Institute of Music will be pleasant. te Antoinette Aulita 108 Congress Street Costume designing being one of her main interests, Ann intends to get some further schooling in it, and some day hopes to be- come a successful designer. She's that girl with the generous flashing smile and dark brown hair and eyes who, on one particular occasion, made a wonderful model for life drawing in her art class. She is also a girl of many virtues, among which are generosity, friendliness, and a willingness to help. Though quiet and conservative, she rarely goes un- noticed, and is a very conscientious student. Pauline De Rosa 604 South 18th Street “Have you seen Pauline?” That sentence ! is practically a password in Arts High. Our busy young lass is rarely in one place for more than a ten minute stretch! Indeed, the Scope never had a better Editor-in-Chief. Other activities include the Student Council, Science, Language, Dramatics, Photo and Eng- lish clubs, Student Patrol, Choir, and the Vignette. Besides having acquired four art awards, she has constantly been on high honors. Paul majors in fine arts and aspires to be a portrait painter at the Art Students League. May she sweep quickly on to a new and brighter star, 11 Waltrude Buergel 359 Ridgewood Avenue Waltrude is a popular super, super student and artist as well. She has been Editor-in- Chief of our yearbook and has constantly made high honors. Always at the head of any class, Wally, as friends call her, has heard nothing but praise from teachers and students alike. She is most original with her art work and has copped four art certificates in various contests. Commercial Art will be her goal at the Arts Student League in New York. When you read about her in the papers some day, don't say we didn’t warn you. George Edmond, Jr. 905 Monmouth Street Deputy Mayor of the Arts High School Student Council, second highest student office in the school. Among George's hobbies are model airplane building and listening to jazz and swing records. His clothes styles are designed by himself. Miss Stewart has often mentioned to others his marvelous sense of color in art. George is also interested in music. He wants to play drums and lead a band. Perhaps some day in the near future you ll be listening to records by George and re- member he graduated from Arts High.

Adele Allison aD Beverly Street You will always find our Class President chewing the rag with someone or other. Chil- dren are her favorite subject, particularly her kid sister, Janice. As a matter of fact, on Mondays after school, she reads the funnies to the kiddies at St. Barnabas Hospital. Adele is a popular member of our class, and her greatest asset is her interest in people. In school she has taken the art course and has been Secretary of the Stadent Council. Out- side she has always had an open house for parties and belongs to many clubs. Her ambi- tion? To own her own home! 58 Bruen Street Carmelina started something the day she wore her lovely fringed shawl to school. It seemed the next week every girl in the build- ing was wearing one. She is quite a leader when it comes to fashion. Once during study period, she went up on the stage and de- lighted her friends by singing “La Cucaracha,” hips, lips, and snapping fingers keeping time. Having taken the costume art course, Carmelina did a grand job at Bam- berger's the time she demonstrated with paper sculpture. She loves roller skating, movies, swimming, and reading, and has been a member of the Science Club and Patrol. Carmelina Cimo shoulders, Tom Collins 792 South 12th Street Would you like a chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla malted, sir? We might as well put in a plug for Sheffield’s Milk Bar where our Tommy spends most of his time when he’s not sketching or painting. He can be found following all the latest swing bands, dancing and singing, on the side lines. If you. ever miss Bob Hope or Red Skelton on a Tuesday night, just ask Tom and he'll tell you right away about both of them. Upon asking Tom what his ambition was, wee were surprised with this unusual and clever reply, “IT want to be a success.” Well, good luck, Tom. JU 105 Aldine Street editor received many bribes while writing these sketches, the largest was from Martin Cohen. Personally we can't under- stand it, maybe he has a past. We do know that whatever that is, he certainly has a bright future, either as a saxophonist, a clari- netist or commercial artist. He was one of the stalwarts of the Arts High School Band, playing his sax. Martin has recently acquired a car. After riding with him just once, we wonder how he got his license. As a driver he is a better artist, and he really is a good artist. Martin Cohen This 10 55 Taylor Street Jeanne likes to talk, talk, and talk some more as long as she has an interested listener. Doris Jeanne McTague Her endless but entertaining conversations have won for her popularity from everyone and her spontaneous smile has made all around her ready for fun. Chuck full of vim, vigor, and vitality, she certainly can find many things to do. She is Secretary of our class, Photo Editor for the Vignette, and a member of the Scope Staff, Dramatic Club, and Student Patrol. Although Jeanne selected the costume designing course when she entered in her sophomore year, her ambition is to be a nurse. NE 19445 Katherine Collins 119 South 13th Street Having been President of the 3A class and now Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the year- book, Katherine needs no introduction. She has a very excellent sense of responsibility and has not only finished her course in three and a half years, but has also proved suc- cessful as a fashion student. Katherine is re- served, very sincere, and good natured. She is determined, persevering and successful in all she endeavors. Her ambition is to be a professional dress designer, and we wish her all the luck in climbing the ladder of success.

28—13th Avenue This young man tells us he was born in a log cabin which he built himself! This is just Seymour Farber an example of the corn we get from the “Beard”, but we love it. His cartoons are really something to look at. They have the weirdest characters in them. When he be- comes a teacher, the kids will be in for a treat, because his supply of jokes and stories is inexhaustible. Seymour would like to teach art, but we know that he could also teach dramatics since he is one of Arts High's out- standing actors. Here's to bigger and cornier corn. Helene Halo 45 Broad Street She's the cute little trick that’s always wandering around the halls of Arts High. Her greatest desire is to be a model, and we're sure that when John Powers takes a look at her, he'll not think twice. Besides being active on the Student Patrol and Student Council, Helene has spent a great deal of time on the Vignette as its advertising editor. We've had swell times together, Helene and Arts High, and some day, when we see her on the cover of Vogue, we can say, “We knew her when ibe co Norman Finkelstein 11 Bailey Avenue, Hillside Who's that fellow with the sleepy look? Oh. that's Nooky. Norman tells us that the most embarrassing question ever asked of him was how did you get your nickname. We don’t mean to imply that Norm is a ladies’ man but after all what red-blooded American boy isn't? His hobby is painting and anybody can see him doing just this if they pass Miss Stewart's room practically any time of the day. Dancing is another one of his accomplish- ments. Someday maybe some one of us will be lucky enough to own a Norman painting. Go to it, Nook. Bernard Herr 290 Johnson Avenue The day will come when we read the list of the ten best dressed men in America and find the “Duke's” name among them. The Duke wants to be a talent scout for the Powers’ model agency. We all know his hob- bies those of clothes, wine, women and song. Those of us who have been to Olympic Park during the summer and seen that terrific diver leap from the high board in a fancy swan dive know that another one of his hobbies is swimming. With your eye for women, we know that you can't fail to reach your ambi- tion. 12 Henrietta Galloway 18 Inman Place, North Arlington The assemblies become deathly quiet when Henrietta lifts her baton to conduct our sing- ing. She is very serious-minded where music is concerned, but in class, we consider her one of our most valuable entertainers. Besides being pianist and conductor for assemblies, and a member of the Motet and Arts Choirs, she is also Treasurer of the Student Council. With this record, we have no doubt she will be a success at the Institute of Musical Art where she will study to be a music teacher. Because “Henrietta” seemed too long for a small lady, the gang nicknamed her “Hank.” Cute? : NE 194455 Charles Hess 14 Schuyler Avenue This likeable chap with the pearly white teeth and the air of a leader is certainly destined to go far. No one except Charlie was surprised when he was elected Mayor of Arts High, this being the only position for a man of his calibre. His hobbies are loafing and women. Although he took, and did well in Fine Arts, his Honor hopes to become a Chemical Engineer, that is after the war. Mr. Chasen used to tell us that Charley's papers were really masterpieces, but the only trouble was that he couldn't (because of the hand- writing) read them.
