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

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

Phoebe Parnes 226 Roseville Avenue How’s the air up there? This Amazonian young lady gives the impression of being a tall, sophisticated woman of the world. Talk to her for a few minutes, and you find she is really just one of the gang. Our Phoebe should succeed as a model for she has all the accessories needed. When Phoebe first came here, she was afraid a New Yorker (Queens to be exact) wouldn't fit in with us Newark- ers, but she found out differently. For those who are interested, P. G. P. prefers an army uniform but won't complain if it's navy blue. Reginald Rodil 499 South 12th Street The girls call him the “Handsome Hawaiian Heartbreaker with the voice of Ray Eberle.” Although an art student, Reg has made quite a name for himself as a vocalist by entertain- ing us at parties and school activities. He is a great music enthusiast and has not only performed with the Motet Choir but has also sung at the Mosque in the All-State. Being a veteran of the Arts Basket Ball Team has also added to his popularity (particularly with the fairer sex). When Reg becomes a top- ‘notch vocalist, don't say we didn't warn you. Frank Pietruha 499 South 17th Street Mention anything about Interior Decoration and Frank is bound to appear on the scene. Model-building, painting, playing the piano, singing, and dancing are his favorite pastimes. As a matter of fact, he won a rhumba contest once at one of our school dances, and the compliments he received certainly prove he is a credit to our class. Frank is tall, has attrac- tive wavy brown hair, and teeth that every one envies. He is good-natured with a pleasant disposition and is a favorite among his friends. After graduation he intends to be an interior decorator or window displayman. Dorothy Scablinski 643 South 17th Street Hers has always been the wish to have been born with a different name, so that she wouldn't have it slaughtered by pupils and teachers alike all through her school career. Despite that though, she’s a wonderful sport and comes through with flying colors on that account. She enjoys sketching and reading and exercises a strong sense of humor. This plus her amiability makes up her winning per- sonality. She has been a member of the Garden Club and Student Patrol. Becoming -a nurse is her chief ambition and with a will like hers, she’s sure to find the path to success. 16 146 Ferry Street Though she is called half-pint Price, Renee Renee Price has proved that she’s a half-pint of high- voltage energy! Renee plans to be a Labora- tory Technician after furthering her education. The choice of her hobbies shows Renee's versatility... sewing, swimming, dancing, and sports. Her activities in school include the Science Club, School Patrol, Modern Dancing and the Scope. She has helped at almost every dance weve given during our stay in Arts High and was on the previous Vignette staff. If her ambition and “‘stick to” ability are a forecast of Renee's future, then it is indeed a bright one. JUNE 1944= Mary Schuster 19 Floyd Avenue, Bloomfield With a twinkle in her eye and a friendly greeting for everyone, Mary is one of the star personalities of our class. Her activities have marked her as a very ambitious and popular student. In addition to being Associate Editor of the Scope, she is a member of practically every other club in the school. Having already achieved three art awards, her career as an artist has proved equally successful. However, while painting, she somehow manages to get more pigment on herself than on the canvas. Although her ambition is to further her art education, she may join the Cadet Nurse Corps.
