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.

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.

Mary Garjian 409 South 10th Street The first thing you notice about Mary are her glamorous eyelashes. ‘Slim’ is . forever relating one of her corny jokes, and when we fail to laugh, she'll say, “So it wasn’t funny”. If you should meet Mary on the bus some mornings, you'll surely be late for school. She is always the last to arrive and the first to leave—that's Mary! But we can't do without her. She’s so congenial and has a pleasant word for everyone. We won't be surprised some day if we see her as a fashion designer. With her originality, she'll go far. =1I944 JU Edward Higby 27 Schofield Street Just a minute now, one at a time girls, step back there, you can't all have his auto- graph. Anyone who has spoken with the original “Personality Kid’ cannot help but like him. He is an outdoor man. Fishing, hunt- ing, and camping hold first place in his heart. A great many of us have been treated to his beautiful colored photographs of the moun- tains. He has caught some big ones. Mr. Perry and Ed itéver fail to spend a few minutes telling each other “tall ones’, but right now Mr. Perry has the upper hand. Ed's life will be complete when Miss Travel- sted adopts him. Till then he'll be happy to stay with Mr. Farber in 420. NE Dorothy Gonska 78 Chamber Street Although the girls often tease Dotty about the time she was escorted down to Mr. Webb's office because she was singing at the girls lockers, Dotty insists that the free elevator ride was worth it. For a supposedly quiet girl, she often surprises us with her witty remarks. Inside of school, it's costume designing and the Student Patrol, but outside, it’s swimming, ice-skating, and fencing. Aviation dominates her interests, though. A Cadet of the C. A. P., Dottie is receiving her military training every Tuesday night. It won't be long before she achieves her ambition to be an aviatrix. Margaret Mary Joel 96 Oraton Street With the ability to make friends wherever she goes, Peggy is the joy of our class. Her pet sayings are a favorite with everybody— “Bless my boots” and that sort of thing. Seems that after she had paid all her dues for last year s Vignette, Peggy came down with the measles. Of all things! As a music student she has been a member of the Motet and Arts Choirs. Whether it’s to be a journalist or a cryptographer, Peggy has not decided yet, but we know whichever it is, she'll be a success. 13 40 Lexington Street Jeanne certainly made an attractive nurse the day she demonstrated first aid for an as- sembly program. During air raid drills, she is seen dashing for her post on the third floor to wait for victims. A popular and active student, she has been a member of the Red Cross Council, First Aid Squad, Patrol, and the Modern Dance Group. Although she has majored in Costume Designing, Jeanne would like to be a model. With the “get up and go” attitude she has displayed, we don't doubt but she will achieve her goal. Best of luck to a swell girl. Jeanne Gordon Pe ge Lea ai Leo Vag SLs eat ea, Mc Es MGR ANG STN TOR UL AR TY 16 Sidney Place Tall, reserved, and very attractive, she rates high in both studies and popularity. Though apparently quiet, she has a rare sense of humor. Hers is the will of a go-getter, and since she has her heart set on attending col- lege io further her education ‘in fashion illus- trating, you can be sure that she'll succeed in it. Previously President of her class, Angie skipped a grade, thus completing her course in three and a half years. She spends much of her time playing the piano, and enjoys classical music. To her we wish the best of everything, success, and happiness. Angelina Juvelis
