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

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.

Charles Keil 171 Florence Avenue After he becomes an Ensign in the United States Naval Air Corps, and is released from service, Charley expects to become a drafts- man and finally an engineer. To advance himself towards his goal, tie has been attend- ing the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts night school for three years now, taking drafting. His hobby is roller skating besides being a swimming champ. He can be ‘seen indulging in his hobby every Friday night with a certain young lady. It will be a pleas- ure to salute an Ensign named -Charles Keil, so go to it, Charley. Carmella Montano 17 Lock Street Although Carmella is one of the shy and quiet girls, she certainly has a lot of friends. Making her own clothes is her chief interest. She gives practical application to her art training, for she dresses beautifully. Her good taste and attractive color schemes are proof of this. Naturally enough, Carmella has majored in costume design and would like very much to make it her future profession. Singing in the choir also reveals her as a music lover. To hear a lilting voice in the halls is to know she is near. With her personality and ability, we're sure she'll be a success. Marcia Krasny 313 Fabyan Place “Chick” is the lucky gal with the shiny black natural curls. She has taken the art course and intends to go into the field of commercial art. Her many hobbies include original poetry, sketching from life, singing, bowling, and roller skating. An active member of the First Aid and Transportation Squads, she’s a very patriotic Miss. Working six days a week for defense and taking orders for bonds and stamps every Tuesday, she certainly is kept quite busy. Take it from us, she's a great girl, and well take this opportunity to wish her all the luck in the world] JU John Moravec 89 Wallace Street If he’s not arguing with Mr. Rich about politics, he’s amusing the gang with his dry humor. John is an all-round high school favor- ite who can keep anyone entertained. He came to us in his sophomore year taking the business course and later changed to fine arts. Doubling up in this subject, he is graduating with us in three and a half years. John has been a member of the Student Council, and during his spare time, enjoys painting and collecting foreign coins. His ambition is to be either an ordained minister or a postman. 14 176 West End Avenue Frederick Krumm “How's the air up there, Krumm?”’ the girls always ask, and he always replies, “Why if it isn't Essie Ginsberg, or Legs, or my old sweetheart.” And before you know it, he’s up to his tricks again teasing the girls. As an art student, he excels in fashion illustrations and drawing caricatures of the students (even in History when he should be listening to teacher). After graduating he intends to en- list as an apprentice seaman. We don't doubt that with the record he has shown at Arts, there will be a girl waiting for him in every port. NE 19445 69 Hedden Terrace Bobby's spontaneous laugh has often-times proved contagious. She is our ray of sunshine in stormy weather. The Red Cross Council, Science Club, and Student Patrol occupy much of this sweet little miss’s time in school, but outside, she enjoys roller skating and dancing. Bobby has taken the interior decorating course, and although she shows great promise in this field, she desires most to fulfill an urge to serve as a Cadet Nurse. We certainly hope she will render as much cheer to our boys as she has to us. Blanche Morrison
