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,

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.

STELLA PONTIKAS 53 Wallace St. Beautiful black hair, and a glorious smile, that’s Stella. In spite of her activity on the Vig- nette Staff, treasurer of the Choir, Red Cross work, Scope representative and writing to the service boys, she can still find time to dance and keep people happy. Working in an advertising firm is the job Stella wants, and if anyone de- serves it, she does. She is a little gal that is more quick-witted and has more spark than any girl who has entered or probably ever will enter Arts High. We’re proud of her, and think she’s good-looking, too. She should get all the happi- ness in the world. Here’s hoping. ROSINA RUSSO 514 - 15th Ave. Rosina is the starry-eyed young lady that graces the halls of Arts High. She has been a member of the Student Patrol and an ardent student of the Fine Arts course. “Rosie” enjoys collecting stamps and books, but her main ambi- tion is to be a good housewife, which she will be shortly. “Frosty”, as she is called, has a lovable sense of humor that keeps the class on edge waiting to hear her laugh, and laugh she does in a way you can never forget! The worst thing you can say about Rosie is that she dis- likes getting up in the morning, but who does- n't? She is a perfect girl for any boy!! AUDREY RESHKIN 125 Maple Ave. Small, petite and extremely attractive is our “Aud,” one of our brightest and most popular girls. One glance readily proves this. “Aud” plans to be a composer, that is a com- poser of symphonies, concertos and such. With her abundance of talent in both music and art, we are sure, some day, of finding her name in the same brackets as “Tschaikowsky” and “Prokonief”. On the lighter side, “Aud’s corny jokes are haw-hawed throughout the class. She spends hours trying to perfect the art of cooking, which she does quite well. Her favorite dish is Italian spaghetti, home- made. In September Audrey will enter Juil- liard Conservatory of music to begin her career. Good luck and the best of success! MARION SCAGLIONE 323 North 6th St. Money for the Red Cross? Money for the Vignette? Any waste Paper? Dues? U.S.0.? Defense Stamps? No, that’s not the Answer Man, that’s Marion Scaglione. Without this cute little bundle of joy, all of the war loans would be sixteen million dollars less. Money, sewing, and cooking occupy most of Marion’s valuable time, not to forget the choir and the secretary-ship of the Junior Red Cross. When this messy war is over and money is no longer being collected, dress design will be her new interest. Little in size, but gigantic in per- sonality and charm, we'll miss you, Marion, and your patriotic duties, but we will never have to worry about you, for you will always be able to make friends and get along.
