Robert P. Elker 586 South 18th Street This tall, dark, and very good looking lad hails from South 17th Street School. He has been a member of the Dramatic Club, Radio, Library Guild, and the Vignette staff. He is also President of the Senior Class graduating in January ‘45. Besides girls his hobbies are swimming, skating, bowling, and outdoor sports. After graduating Bob expects to go to Columbia University, where he intends to study Journalism. Harry James is proud to have Elker as an admirer (but what about Betty Grable?). Bob will certainly get ahead in life because he has the ambition, and after all, that’s one-third of the battle won. Jane L. Bernardo 40 Allwood Road, Clifton, N. J. Jane is a quiet, unassuming girl who came to Arts High in September 43. She's a nice girl, the kind you read about in books, virtu- ous, good looking, and clever. She has taken care of the Senior Poem and the Dedication for homeroom 320, and she has done a mar- velous job on it, too. Although she will not go to college, she does have an ambition, and that is to be an illustrator for children’s books. You should see some of, her art work. You'd agree with us that she has lots of talent, and it’s lucky for the kiddies that she won't be hiding it. Aida C. Leiriao 23-Pacifie Street Although Aida is quiet, she can really voice her opinion when the opportunity arises. Her pleasant personality makes her an easy person to get along with. She has no definite plans as to what will happen after graduation, but she wants to try and keep up with her art work. Her favorite pastimes are drawing and singing, and she is capable at both. We have seen some of her art products, and boy, are they solid! Harry James is her heart throb of the moment. If she doesn’t become an artist, it certainly won't be her fault. We hope you Il succeed, Aida. Eunice I. Clark 285 West Market Street What are those boys standing around for? Oh, yes, we know, they're waiting for Eunice. She is one of the most popular girls of home- room 320. Her hobbies are boys, dancing, boys, bowling, boys, sewing, singing, and last but not least boys!. Duke (One O'clock Jump) Ellington is her swing master, and the record, Body and Soul by Coleman Hawkins, is her favorite. Eunice doesn’t have any plans for the immediate future, but we know once she settles down to the problem, it will be solved. JANUARY 1945 Eva L. Talamonti 221 North 4th Street Eva is a charming, sincere girl who gradu- ated from Garfield grammar school. What Garfield lost, we gained. She has good words for everybody, and vice versa. Her best friend, as if you couldn't tell, is Alvira Alvalio. They walk, talk and eat together. They're insepara- ble pals. Dancing and singing are her amuse- ments. Xavier Cugat is the Rhumba King and also the king on her list. Her ambition is to become an artist, and we're all sure she'll succeed, Good luck. Rosina H. Colello 728 North 8th Street Rosina is a sweet, helpful, and athletic girl. She could have graduated this June .if she had wanted to, but she said old friends are more important than graduating a half year earlier. And “friend” certainly describes her. Every- one likes Rosina because we just can't help it. Her pastimes among other things are sewing, roller skating, and dancing. Geometry (sur- prise) is her favorite subject, and the late Mr. Deardorff was her favorite teacher. She in- tends to go to college and carry on Interior Decorating there. We're behind you, kid! : ; 24

ANNA JOHNSTON In the past whenever we have had difficulties, whenever we have needed the good advice of a teacher, whenever we have needed encouragement, or correction, it was she who gave it to us. To us she has become a friend, and not just merely a teacher. To Miss Anna Johnston, we of the Senior class, dedicate a portion of this book, with our sincere wishes for her happiness and success in the future. te 23

Elvera F. Avolio 280 First Avenue What would our class do without its treas- urer? Elvera has a pleasing personality, and she’s always ready to help anyone in need. She expects to go to college and become a dietician. Swimming, dancing, roller skating, and swinging the blues are her hobbies. Harry (Flight of the Bumble Bee) James is her sting of the moment. We'll never forget her smiling eyes, her captivating laugh, and shining modesty. We know she'll make good, =1945 JA Margaret O. Coyle 260 North: 7th Street “Frank Sinatra oo—oo.” That's almost surely what Margaret will say if you mention the Voices name. She doesn’t swoon when she hears him, but she does feel a little giddy. She likes to roller skate, but she loves swim- ming even more. After graduation, she will do one of two things! Both of these are important in themselves. The first is to become a Nurse’s Cadet. The second one is nearer to reality. She is going to be married in the near future. Glenn Miller is her favorite orchestra leader, and her favorite song is Sunday, Monday, and Always. We hope that you'll be happy all through your life, Margaret. Louise L. Anderson 167 Barclay Street By herself Louise can be very, very serious, but when she’s with some of her friends (which is pretty nearly always), she is just about the funniest thing on two feet. If you want to hear some jokes, just say something to her and almost invariably the retort will be something that will make you grin. She likes to dance, sew, sing and—well, so many other things it would take the whole page just to tell them to you. When asked, “Who's your favorite orchestra leader?’ she answered, “‘Is there any other one besides Harry James?” which proves definitely whom she Hees het UARY Adeline R. De Filippis 560 North 11th Street “What's the homework?” or “Gee whiz, | knew | forgot somethin’!’’ These remarks bring out the charm hidden behind Adeline’s lips. Here is a walking example that good things come in small packages, She has always been a whiz at physical education and roller skating and tops the list for social dancing. Everyone likes Adeline because she is a grand girl. She’s’an excellent swimmer and is a member of the girls’ swimming team. Glenn Miller is on her record list and on the Adams “coming soon” program. Loads of luck, Adeline. 25 Yolanda M. Barrelli 250 Clifton Avenue It has often been said that Yolanda takes vitamin pills before and after each meal. Maybe that’s what accounts for her vitality and vigor in her Red Cross work. Pratt Insti- tute is the college Yolanda chooses to attend for fashion designing. Her favorite subject is Chemistry. Bing Crosby is her idea of a good singer, while Harry (Betty Grable) James is her favérite band leader. She is fair-minded, generous and kind. She is a sport-minded miss, and her hobbies are music and dancing. We shall miss her. Louise C. Dickens 239 Bloomfield Avenue “Just a little bit of heaven” is exactly the correct description of Louise. She may be small, but she certainly packs a lot of activity and gaiety in her five feet three inches. Louise is not subtle by any means whatsoever. She’s as frank as possible, and that’s why everyone likes her. She intends to go to an Art College and continue the training she started over here in good old Arts High. Duke Ellington (here’s that man again!) is her favo rite groove artist. He sends her, and she really starts moving, when she hears his orchestra. Arts High won t soon forget you, Louise.
