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

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

172 Roseville Avenue Six feet, two inches, a smiling red-headed Irishman describes Jack perfectly. He and his buddy, Highy, are the original personality kids. Jack has more friends than most of us have hair on our heads. With his ability to win friends goes a great deal of talent, and good looks. Besides being a lady's man, he is primarily a man’s man, one of the best ath- letes' in our gym class. Miss Johnston is a cousin of his, and Miss Travelsted was ac- quainted with his grandmothers, so he is careful in school; but outside—well, anyway good luck, handsome. =1944 JU Gertrude Muessle 480 South 14th Street No matter where Gertie goes, a fellow has to look twice. Is it any wonder with her twinkling hazel eyes, soft flowing tresses, and complexion of peaches and cream? With her lovely manner, she is by far one of the most popular girls in our class. Where costume art is concerned, she is always on her toes. At City Hall, before a group of high school representatives, she modeled her much-talked- about jumper that she had made in sewing. After she graduates, Gertrude hopes to enter the field of Costume Design where we know she'll be a success. John Patrick Loughlin te NE 69 Boston Street Eloise is a woman of few words, but once you get her started, you don't know what you ve got yourself into. She is a good sport, a hard worker, and a faithful member of our class. Sewing attracts her in a hig way and being handy with a needle and thread, she can whip together a new creation in no time. Eloise is a student of the music course and an ardent member of the choir. Other interests include the Library Guild, sewing, reading, and writing to the fellows in service. Her ambition is to be a singer of popular songs. Eloise lowery 194 West End Avenue Beauty, intellect, and charm seem to be our best description of Norma. She is an A plus student and has always been willing and able to pitch in and help make our school activities a success. Her name has appeared below top-notch stories in publications of the Vig- nette and Scope, and her efforts in promoting the sale of bonds and stamps were tireless. In accordance with artistic and literary abili- ties, sketching and reading are her favorite hobbies. Norma would like to further her education in costume designing or illustrating, and we wish her luck in climbing the ladder of success. Norma Pagano 15 Margaret Matusiewicz 42 West Kinney Street Marge is one of those students who excel in almost every field. In her sophomore year, she came to us from Pennsylvania and took the fine arts course. It didn't take us very long to discover what a truly talented artist she Figure-sketching is her favorite pastime, and she even practices it at the Saturday Art Classes. Her delightful Penn- sylvania drawl has proved very entertaining to all of us. Sketching, ice-skating and ‘music are her hobbies, and we wish her success as a magazine illustrator. was. 63 Boylan Street Her winning smile is enhanced by large brown eyes and a flow of brown tresses which, in a becoming fashion, usually roll under into a page-boy. Anna has been playing the ac- cordion ever since she was a small child and is progressing rapidly, but surprisingly enough, she takes the art course and plans to become a commercial artist. Her other interest is avia- tion. Among her hobbies are skating, swim- ming, and cooking. She has also been active in the Student Council, Student Patrol, Sci- ence Club and the Red Cross. Here's luck to you, Ann, in whatever you undertake. Anna Palazzo
