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.

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.

ADELINE FARINELLA 266 Leslie St. Addie is a gal that will take Arts quite a while to forget. Her outstanding work for the Drama Club and Class is an Addie trade mark. To this day she is sometimes called Aunt Hetty. Her acting ability is a real treat to watch, she can be emotionally dramatic or hilariously comical. And here is a new twist. Addie is heading, this summer, for the Powers Modeling School, and we know she can’t fail there. Later on she hopes to continue with her Art and Drama in some special school. How’s that for talent? She'll make quite ihe model, wearing her own designs. Her hobby may be men, but she gets along famously with male and female. EMANUEL HALLER 915 Hunterdon S:. A swell guy and tops everything, that’s Manny. Some other pet names Manny goes by ar e: Blimp, the Brain, and Manuel Incorp. His admiration for war stories and pictures is always an inspiration to his creative mind, and wam, he has just finished another effec- tive drawing or cartoon. Manny finds himself wholly captivated by a good rugged Football game. He dreams of attending “West Point”, some day. His talents do not always have to play second fiddle to Manny’s prize pet dog, Sir Rhodon Warina, No, we’re not kiddin’ he’s a pedagreed collie dog. Our Vignette Editor and sports reporter for the Scope, he proves himself a genius in the literary field. He’s a big guy, who'll go over in a big way. Good luck, Manny, you deserve it! ALBERT GROVES 54 Johnson Ave. Albert Groves, the six foot Beau Brummel of Arts High, will be greatly missed when he leaves us for the Feagin Dramatics School. We know Al will be happy there, and Feagin will rejoice for we are giving them a very promising future leading man. We warn the young actresses to beware of his collection of ghost stories. His ambition is to act on the Broadway stage op- posite his favorite actress, Dorothy MacGuire, that is, if the Merchant Marine doesn’t claim him first. We are looking forward to seeing Al’s name in lights and we wish him all success and good luck in his career to come. IRIS HASTREITER 883 South 12th St. We're having a hard time keeping in touch with vivacious little Iris, for at one time during the year she has to be off to Florida and yet she still gets the marks mother likes to see. She is always bubbling over with those brilli- ant ideas and can always seem to find something to keep her busy. We really miss Iris when she is away, but still we don’t really feel she has left us. We just prepare ourselves for the ex- citement when she returns. We wish you all the luck in the world with your Interior Decorating Course at Syracuse University.
