MARY HERRINGTON 234 Orange St. Mary is the kind of girl that sends them all into a trance with her singing. What else can you expect from a girl who took the music course at Arts High? Mary has done a lot to keep the class in a state of riot with her zoot singing and hobby of reeling off those incom- parable jokes. After going to a Secretarial School in New York, she hopes to work in an office but singing is in her to stay, and she’ll find a way to hit it out professionally we all hope. Thank you for your work on the Library Guild, Red Cross, and. of course, the Choir. Keep plug- ging, Chick, and your name may be up with Lena Horne’s in no time, HENRY JORDAN 16 Johnson Ave. He is one of the few members of his class who is making high school in three and one half years. Our boy, “Lefty”, is on the first step of the ladder of success and that is of his desire to stay in good old Arts. Wait! He is staying in the Arts building by going to the Night School here. To be a commercial Artist in a department store or not to be, that is the question for any one else. but not for Henry. He has made up his mind and just try and change it. His hobby is wood carving and he has done many interesting things in this subject. Oh yes. he’s done his share in school activities by giving one year of service to the Library Guild and also work on the Student Patrol, Here’s luck Henry! RITA HOROWITZ 58 Nairn Place Lots of thick brown hair and deep green eyes makes you think of Rita. A smile goes along, too, for Rita always smiles, particularly when there’s a test, because she always passes with flying colors. The colors flash, tov, on Rita’s canvases, and she’s on the way to be- coming an exceptionally talented artist. Rita’s heart lies in the theater and the unexplored opportunities of theatrical designing. One of the best-loved members of the class. Rita lives up to her reputation of a fun-loving, vivacious girl. She is especially fond of dancing to a rhumba beat. or an exciting tango. Her dancing meets with the same success as her paintings and we know she is sure to succeed at the Pratt Institute of Art. THOMAS KUNTZ 683 Summer Ave. Tall, blond, blue-eyed and attractive is our Tommy. He is also a young man with a gift for gab. His ambition is to be an actor. He possesses a thrilling, deep, speaking voice, and we are sure it will hold his future audi- ences spell-bound. His many interesting hob- bies include photography, chemistry, radio, building model airplanes -and last but not least... . girls!!. Tommy was a member of the student council for one term and did a fine job. He hopes, if the Merchant Marine overlooks him, to attend a school of drama- tics. We will all miss his swoon-crooning and corny jokes. May good luck be with 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.

GENEVIEVE ELLEN LANGAN 64 No. 9th St. Here is Arts High’s own Lauren Bacall, tall, slinky and darn cute. Don’t you agree? This slick chick has done a lot of modeling and I don’t mean in school. She created quite a sensation in the Bamberger fashion shows. When she isn’t battling away the crowds of fellows with a club, she’s dancing, collecting things, taking care of the War Stamps or Red Cross or maybe do’rng some solid chunk of acting for the Drama Class. She adores all kinds of mus‘e but especially the soft kind, and loves dancing in the dark, those lucky boys. She would like to do something in the field of Fashion e‘ther the designing or that’s it, the modeling. Well, VeVe, you have our blessings. MARIE MERINGER 602 Sanford Ave. Marie has done a fine job in our class into investing in a share of this glorious country. I think she cou!d seil the Brooklyn Bridge to John L. Lewis, but that’s all to her good credt. She simply can’t stand people who read their letters out loud in public, and shopping in crowds. She has the strange habit of taking the longest walks and w earing out her best friends. She’s doing a good job of singing with the Choir, but she isn’t sure what she wants for a career. All she knows is that she hopes to go to college, any college. You have Arts blessings. RALPH MARINO 389 Fairmount Ave. Ralphie is known as the girl-chaser of our senior class. Aside from all the girls in the senior class, he has a very special girl, called Red! But good Dramatic work and an interest in trick photography take up a great deal of his valuable time. The pride and joy of his class and especi- ally the pride and joy of Ralphie is his col- lection of photos from old movies. The clever way in which he handles his Art has brought him a scholastic award. We are all looking forward to the future covers of the New Yorker done by our Ralph. You have the best wishes of the whole class behind you, and, with that and your jolly personality, you can’t help but succeed. DAVID MILLER 195 Nye Ave. What is David’s ambition? Why the same as any other Arts Higher, a “successful commercial artist”, only the word successful means a lot more to David when it’s boiled down. Proving the Miller genius in his hobbies, he has done memorable art work and really creative writing. We have faith in you, boy, and you sincerely have all the good wishes. Arts High hopes you may be a successful artist,
