Dolores E. Green 187 James Street Many people are jitterbug fans, but in Dolores, we have an ardent admirer of that type of music and dance. She knows all there is to know about the new songs out, and she can sing most of them, too! She loves to hear Count Basie play it out on the piano, and she thinks Duke Ellington is tops. She likes to dance and sing. She isn't going to go to col- lege, but she wants to become a seamstress. She likes to sew and can do miracles with a needle. In short she’s quite a girl. = 1945 JANUARY Rose M. Manzione 287 Walnut Street “Sweet Rosie O’Manzione, our beautiful Rose. She’s our steady lady, most everyone knows.” That old time song certainly describes our Rose. She loves fun, dancing, roller skat- ing, ice skating, and collecting famous band leaders’ pictures. We can verify the above statement, as weve seen all of her pictures. Vaughn Monroe is her one and only. Rosie has always been interested in nursing, and soon her ambition will become real. After gradua- tion, she is going to become a Nurse Cadet. Here’s to you Rose (Florence Nightingale) Manzione. Lorraine F. Hicks 327 Ridgewood Avenue Here is a music student who is a music student. She likes Chopin and Mozart, but she also thinks that Artie Shaw and Duke Ellington are just as good. We think so, too. Lorraine intends to go to college, but she hasn't decided which one she'll attend. How- ever, she does have an ambition, and that is to become a Music teacher. Yes, it seems that music will be the controlling factor in her life, but she does have an interest in other things, namely dancing, and singing, both of which she does very, very nicely, thank you. When she's older, she intends to go to Europe and see the homes of the old masters. Estelle Marmo 189 First Avenue Estelle is another little girl who makes heap’ big noise. She is our bang up war stamp representative. She can squeeze more money out of a person than you ever thought you had including white pennies. Her hobbies are roller skating and dress making. The shows down town are favorite pastimes. She likes any and every orchestra leader. Injun gal heap hep! She make heap lot money in five and ten store. All kidding aside, Estelle is a bundle full of happiness and gaiety. Keep your chin up, kid, and the world will smile with you. 27 Rose Mae Holley 36 Clayton Street Rose Mae always wears a smile. She's a very happy-go-lucky person but very neat and well-groomed. She expects to enroll in the State Teachers’ College. We know she'll be a good teacher because she has the ability, and also the good marks on her report card. She wants to teach art. She is very talented in dancing, but her art excels any other thing she does. Outdoor sports are what she loves; skating, sleigh riding. Cab Calloway (Ho dee ho) is her favorite band leader. She is such a nice girl that she can’t help being a success in life. Dorothy E. Noone 200 Highland Avenue Dorothy has such a cute speaking voice that when she begins to talk to you, you just can't help smiling. She's gained a lot of friends that way, but it isn't just her voice that makes people like Dot. She's smart as a whip and knows a lot of good, funny jokes. Good books, especially war novels, figure drawing, and the theatre are some of her main interests, while swimming is her favorite sport. After graduation, Dot expects to go to business school and complete her commercial training, but she admits that singing is her first love and ultimate ambition.

4 Earl Street Herbert was extremely quiet when he first entered Arts High. If he weren't here, how- ever, we would be missing a swell person. He likes everyone, and has a good word for all. He is interested in modern music, and judging by the artistic way he plays the piano, we can understand why. He is also a good dancer and singer. His crystal ball for the future is a little hazy, but we think pr obably he will go to college to continue his music training. We will be cheering for you, Herbert, all the way to the end of the road of success. Herbert Epstein 640 North 8th Street Yum-yum who's wearing that red sweater? Yes, sir-ee, your guess is right. It's Louise (beautiful) Ippolito. She expects to go to Syracuse College and take up Interior Decorat- ing. We've seen some of her pictures, and were sure she hag the talent. Even if Louise didn’t have the alee she would certainly go places because she has ambition. Her pastimes include swimming, horse back riding, dancing and all o'her sports. Glenn Miller, the former king of swing, has top rating on her list. Life is always bright when Louise is around; there- fore, we wish her the best of everything. Louise J. Ippolito Marie N. Granzotto 5 Greenwood Lake Street If you ever want to see a doll with pep, just ask for Red. She’s our version of Betty Hutton in her wildest mood. She’s gay, active and vivacious. Outdoor sports and dancing are her meat. She's hep, in the groove, and solid. Artie (Frenesi) Shaw holds her number one list on the Hit Parade of band leaders. Her favorite subject is physical education. All Marie wants to become is a housewife with little ones at her side, and that in itself is a good life's work. Olga Kobryn 629 —18th Avenue The name of this story is Beauty and the Beasts. In this case Olga is the beauty (and is she beautiful!) and any of the wolves of Arts High are the beasts. Olga is that golden haired “hunk of woman” that the boys talk of in sighs. She enjoys ice skating, skiing, swimming and dancing. She's taking commer- cial art and hopes to go to college with that ambition. She enjoys Harry James when he plays sweet and low. We're sure Olga could become a model because her beautiful face is the kind that only a model can have. You'll agree with us once you've seen her. JANUARY 1945 Eleanor L. Greco 23 Bruce Street Ely is our best bet for.the all around gal of Arts High. She's clever, witty, and has a thousand friends, or so it seems anyway. Her pleasant personality makes her a swell girl to get along with. She can take a joke or tell one with the best of ‘em. She likes designing women’s clothes, swimming, dancing, and eat- ing, but her favorite pleasure is life itself. “You're dead an awtully long time,” she al- ways says. She likes Vaughn Monroe, but his voice more than his orchestra really enchants her. Ely has no plans for the immediate fu- ture, but we guess she'll work until “he” comes along. We're sure youll be happy, Eleanor. Doris C. Krieger 88 Wright Street If you haven't met up with Doris, it's about time you did. Her main interest throughout her four years at Arts has been costume illus- tration. Although she has her serious moods, she’s usually out for fun. Her hobbies are ice skating, sewing, dancing, the Adams, and Sammy Kaye's orchestra. She's the strawberry blonde of homeroom 320. Wherever you see Doris there will almost always be Yvonne Townsend at her side. With Doris’ good taste and personality, we re sure she'll be a success in life. —

Vincent J. Pelosi 90 Chelsea Avenue Jimmy is a swell fella always out for a good time. Jimmy isn't the tallest person in the world, but he'll never go unnoticed in a crowd. After graduation, Uncle Sam will be pointing his finger in his direction, and Jimmy will join the Navy Air Corps. After the war is over, hell continue with his art training. He enjoys all sports, but his favorites are swim- ming (he swims like a fish) and football playing. He’s one of the most popular and well-liked at good old Arts High. Gabriella O. Sasso 128 Highland Avenue Gabriella is one of those very rare people who can graduate in only three and a half years. She is considerate of others, shrewd and honest. She enjoys dancing and drawing from life. She isn’t going to college, but she is going to night school to study fashion de- signing. Gabriella (isn't that a lovely name?) belongs to the Photo Club under the super- vision of Mr. Lowry. Harry (not again?) James is her favorite band leader, especially when he toots out “You Are My Sunshine.” As she has the ability, if she sticks to it, she will surely find her place under the sun. Loretta G. Pinto 152 Garside Street Who's that person at the drums? Listen to that remarkable sense of rhythm! Guess who? That's right! None other than Loretta Pinto beating it out on the drums. Yep—she’s a true musician at heart. We call her the Gene Krupa of Arts High. She's the girl that would be so nice to come home to. Dream on, wolves, dream on! Loretta is the kind of girl that brightens up any corner she happens to be in. She was super in World History and solid in dress designing. You've got to admit that the outlook for her future is pretty bright. Good luck and happiness to you, Loretta. 89 Park Avenue We can't exactly say that Gloria is modest, nor can we tell you that she’s just the oppo- site. No, were going to be diplomatic and say that Gloria is a swell girl who, though sometimes very quiet, can make you laugh and giggle in class, too, if she has a mind to do so. Her smile is infectious and her eyes are always twinkling. She wants to become a secretary and take dictation all day long. Harry James is her best bet for listening pleasure, and she is our best bet for real gaiety. Gloria Scarano 28 212 Camden Street Harold L. Ragin Monmouth St. School lost one of its best students when Harold graduated from there. He enrolled as a music student and has ful- filled the requirements to the nth degree. He can play Chopin and Boogie Woogie equally well. When his fingers start jammin’ out the jive on the “88” keys, then the hall is really jumpin’ with hep cats. But Harold also has a job to do after he graduates, and therefore the Marine Recruiting Office will be open to him in the near future. JANUARY 1945 144 Sherman Avenue One of the prettiest girls in our graduating class is Yvonne Townsend. Honey colored hair and sky blue eyes, and tempting red ruby lips bring out the foreign beauty of petite mademoiselle. Tobogganing, figure skating and swimming hold her main interest in sports. Her list of boy friends is a mile long and a mile wide and we certainly don't blame those would-be Casanovas. Once you look at Yvonne you wouldn't easily forget her. But her heart belongs just to one, and that lucky fella is Vaughn Monroe. She has no plans for the future but we're sure she just cant help being happy. Yvonne T. Townsend
