MARY CERRATO 45 Second St. “Just put me down as saying my hobbies are, dancing, singing, and listening to Harry James records”, says Mary. She can make anything that breathes happy and smiling, and usually does. Mary is going to let fate take care of her and it better treat her right. As a member of the choir she feels that she may be a singer some day. It’s hard to put into words a description of this versatile maiden, with her teasing tone to the boys, such as “Oh, Manny, dear”, and others, but I think if I just say she’s tops and can’t help getting to the top that will take care of it. CARMEN COMPITELLI 993 - 18th Ave. This little lady is so good-natured I hon- estly believe she could get along with Adolph Hitler. About the only thing Carmen can’t stand is people that blame the teachers for things they, themselves, have done wrong. h the shoe fits, wear it. The things she says she likes best are good friends, and she has plenty of them.To complete her plans of being a commercial Artist, she is signing up for Pratt. In her spare time, she does creative writing, along with her dancing which is hot stuff, sewing and reading good books. If everyone could be as sincere and friendly as Carmen, there would be no need fer another war. Thanks for just being yourself, Carmen. FRANCES CIFELLO 169 Norfolk St. Here’s “Tiny”, a nicer girl you never knew. She always has a ready smile on her face, and she’s not bad looking either. Is there any reason why her ambition should not be fulfilled? [ think not. What is it? Why to get married, of course. And one of her hobbies should help her, too. In her own words, It’s “Keeping the boys happy”. Continuing with Art should be an easy task for such a talented little girl. Doing her share in school activities such as singing in the Choir, being a War Stamp Representative, and a mem- ber of Student council, is no easy job, but for Fran it’s a push-over. Here’s hoping all your dreams come true! ROCCO CORNACCHIA . 364 15th Ave. With so many hobbies on his list, I don’t see how Rocco can find time to do his work. He enjoys swimming, skating, reading, water polo, and baseball, football, and dancing. He is an all-round swell guy. His ambition is to be sue- cessful, which for Rocco is a very simple thing, if he will only stay as he is. After plowing through the girls of “Ye Old Arts’, Rocco is going to honor Yale with his glorious presence. At Yale he'll probably be on the varsity team. All I ean say is, Roeco, please remember good old Arts, when your famous, for Arts will al- ways remember you.

HATTIE BECKWITH 41 Barclay St. “Becky” is the likeable young lady with the bright smile. She has been a very active mem- ber of the Red Cross, Student Council, and is Deputy Mayor of our school. Her hobbies are going to the movies, reading and listening to the radio. Drawing is a special hobby of hers, one at which she spends much time and enjoys considerably. Her ambition for the future is to be happy and successful. Of this, we of Arts are quite certain for we have known Becky and worked with her. As a friend she never failed for she always lived up to her mark. Success! Success and Becky are synonymous! JOSEPHINE BROWN 250 West Runyon St. On Christmas morning Joe received a most anusuai and wonderful gift, a new nose. We are all very happy for Joe and also very proud because she turned out to be quite a slick number. A swift swimmer, that’s Joe, with so many medals it would make you round shoul- dered. She also has a Junior Life Saver’s certificate to her credit. Joe’s one of those people who can’t stand people who have to borrow pencils, or make cruel remarks about British Sailors. She is probably the girl whe started the Lend Lease Plan with the British. If we turn the clock to the future, we would see Joe, our Joe, living in Australia, with her loving family about her. GENE BOENINGER 140 Roseville Ave. We proudiy present the future Eugene O’Neill!! Besides doing his write-up about the Library for the SCOPE, he has offered some extra pieces on the side, and very promising ones, too, I might add. Gene expects to attend the University of Miami at Coral Gables, Florida; where he will study feature writing, short story composition, and playwriting. With all th’s talent he says he also would like to get into the Radio fiel d or be a research chemist. What a guy! Doing a fine job in everything and a bad job in nothing is a nice way to be, and that’s just the way Gene is. Well. Gene, yeu have the blessings of old Arts High on your head. Go to it and show the world. MARILYN BROWN 263 Seymour Ave. See that girl with the pretty sweater? That’s Lyn Brown, whom you have seen on the stage performing with the Dramatics Class. I wouldn't be surprised, if Lyn keeps up with Dramatics as a career, that when next we hear of her, her name will be up in lights proclaiming her rights to fame. However, Lyn says her real ambition is to be a magazine illustrator. Well, who knows? Another one of Lyn’s hobbies is playing the violin. This talent we saw demonstrated when. Arts had an orchestra. Remember? Other activ- ities that Lyn has taken part in were: the Scope, the Student Council, and the Student Patrol, of which she was secretary. She plans to attend Syracuse University.

ANNA CUTRONE 191 North 13th St. Ann has an easy time pytting together the things she likes most even if she does admire Dick Haymes and his thrilling voice. She is a fine artist, and she serves her country at the O.D.B. Yet she still finds time to paint at home, and enjoys reading. Come rain, hail or shine, she is going to make her life’s work Art and plans to go to some school to continue it. Good luck to you, Ann, and keep making everyone happy with your fun-loving nature, and you can’t lose. ANNA DE VINCENZO 263 Morris Ave. Although Ann seems to be quiet a senior, she’s always surrounded with attractive friends, male and female. We’re quite sure all of those interesting clothes are the product of Miss De Vincenzo’s sewing fingers. While her needle craft box is resting, Ann continues with the great job of helping people just when they need it. And ends all her classes with the usual tempo, but comes the art periods-well-that’s-another story, she stumbles down the stairs, rushes through the halls, clashes against the freshmen, through the door, and then calmly begins her work. She in- tends to go on helping people even when she gets out of old Arts High, so much so that she is joining the Nurses in their great work, LOUISE DE SARNO 925 Hawthorne Ave. Arts High has had the pleasure of being thrilled by a really beautiful soprano voice. It belongs to Louise. Her songs really touch you to the heart. But even if she had a voice like a frog, she’d still be one of the most pop- ular students of you know what. Her pleasing disposition is dented only by the fact that she hates carrots. (oh well.) She is not only good in using her voice but in using her hands in playing the violin and sewing. Your ambition of being a semi-classical singer is going to take work, but you can do it. Bless you, and thank you for your voice! MILDRED ELLIOT 101 Wakeman Ave. Mildred is a civics student, with one am- bition to be a Navy nurse. She is friendly and always smiling so she can’t help but suc- ceed. The lovely things which Mildred turns out in sewing prove her versatility. Patience and good humor are required in sewing, and Millie surely has them all. After graduating, Mildred hopes to go into training as a cadet nurse. Can you see some lucky soldier, with Mildred holding his hand and stroking his sweating brow with her lily white hand? Oh Brother! But she is serious about her work and will make a fine nurse or bust, and she isn’t the type that busts, so draw your own conclusions.
