DOROTHY BAILEY 73 Stadford Pi. “D” stands for Derothy our seamstress clever, Her latest designs are the best ever. Known to many of us because of her clever- ness in making her own clothes is Dorothy. She's so interested in sewing that you'll often find her giving up her study periods to go to room 320 to finish her newest fad. If you should ever find Dot grasping her toes some Monday morn- ing, you'll know she’s been entertaining our boys at the U. S. O. Dot also spends her time widen- ing her knowledge in photography and enjoys taking pictures of her friends. She’s one who has much patience, and she'll need it because of her intentions to study teaching at Howard College ty Washington. GENE BORGO 125 Bank St. “B” is for Borgo, with smooth yellow hair. All thirty strands of it handsome and fair. If you happen to spy a brawny, blue-eyed, blonde wolf skulking around our corridors, you can almost be sure that he’s Geno Borgo. Geno’s hobbies, ambitions, main interest and activities are all concerned with one main subject ... . girls. But, seriously, he DOES have other activities. For instance, he is on the SCOPE staff, in our Drama Club, and on our Stage Crew. Geno’s Art work is way above par, and he soon hopes to make it good enough so that he can enter into some sort of competition, ARNOLD BERGER 420 So. Orange Ave. “A” is for Arnold, a humorous chap, You can always spot him by the smile on his map. Arnnie, as he is often called, is one of the most humorous fellows in the senior class, An ever playful grin signals the approach of some mischievous act. He always has something up his sleeve, other than his arm. How about that peppermint gum? All in all, Arnnie is one fine friend, and you can be sure he’s been around after you see a group of boys and girls in hysterics. If you should ever hear a blasting horn when you’re walking quietly down the street some day, it’s apt to be Arnnie and the rest of the boys having their fun in his beautiful blue Oldsmobile. His favorite orches- tra is Duke Ellington’s; and he goes in for extra curricular activities like Florence. Busi- ness college is his next stop after graduation. HELEN ROMANO 360 Parker St. “H” is for Helen, an industrious worker When it comes to school work, she is no shirker. She is one of the quietest members of our class and also a conscientious worker. A perfect description of Helen would include the fol- lowing traits-a-quiet coyness with a very sweet grin which she is usually wearing. This is one girl who will undoubtedly be a huge success in years to come. Helen with her shy sophis- tication will prove an asset in anything she undertakes but those who know her, know her to be sincere and very human too. We often wonder why, with such lovely, natural skin Helen bothers to wear make-up at all. We leave these little unmentionables to her though and instead give her our best wishes for a success in the business world.

SHERIDAN COMERATE 277 Hunterdon St. “S” stands for Sheridan, our great hunk of man, We attend basketball games to see him when- ever we can. Tall, dark and handsome? You bet! That’s Sheridan, a dynamo of strength on the basket- ball squad for two years. You can readily understand why he is the first in the school to receive two varsity letters in this sport. Sheridan is a versatile gymnast, being one of the most active in his class. He is also one of Mr. Criswell’s problem children. His secret ambition, strange as it seems, is to be a pianist. Although his art work draws much attention, as is the case with the rest of the boys, Sheridan may be bound for the Armed Forces, although he intends to continue music at the Juilliard School of Music in New York. GENEVIEVE DI DOMENICO 72 Cutler St. “G” stands for Genevieve’s Alphabetical letter, Lots think she’s nice, we think she’s better. We haven’t decided whether Genevieve was made for sports or whether sports were made for Genevieve, however, we do know that she does enjoy them very much. Gene is one of those rare students who like school so much that she wants to get out in 3! years, and by Jove, she’s doing it, too. We often find Genevieve coming in late, but all can be sure she’s early when she assists with the attendance record every month. She is a faithful member of the Red Cross, which probably makes her such a handy girl in knitting. All of Genevieve’s sunny disposition andtime is being taken up by a certain blond, but we don’t want to go into further detail, after all, she is interested in the Cadet Nurses. ANTHONY CONCORSO 15 D’Aurio St. “T” is for Tony, Really Anthony Concorso His life is so full And his torso is more-so. Anthony Concorso is one of Arts High’s more literary-minded figures. His energies plus a lot of sincere ambition have made his name in the “Scope” as familiar as the title of the paper itself. A steady honor roll student, Anthony commands the admiration of his classmates. His quiet, subdued, cute personality makes one won- der at his ability to turn out such superior pieces of work for the “Scope”. Anthony’s talents also encompass the field of Art. He recently won honorable mention in the Scholastic Exhibition. FLORENCE DOWNEY 179 Emmet St. “F” stands for Florerice who is usually right, Criticize Greer Garson and you ask for a fight. She admires Greer Garson. Of course we mean her beautiful collection of G. Gs pactures. Flo is a pleasant girl to know, and whenever problems confront her friends, you can be sure her wise decisions help them out. “Trish’s” blue eyes really glitter when she gazes upon the picture of her best boyfriend, her brother, naturally. The Army Air Force has the all famous Lt. Bill Downey, whom we have the honor of naming our classroom flyer. Among Flo’s out of school activities are horseback rid- ing and roller skating. Flo intends to continue in the field of interior decorating after graduation.

PHYLLIS LANGBERG 225 Nye Ave. “P” stands for Phyllis who hardly ever is blue, If yowre feeling low, she'll cheer you up, too. Phyllis is the little chick with the honey colored hair and many bright clothes. We often find her wearing pigtails and toting an armful of books. She is always full of jokes but gets angry with herself when she doesn’t get directions straight. Remember those his- tory memorizations? Phyllis belongs to a cor- respondence club and we often find her speak- ing of Johnny and Tony. We wonder .. . She favors all sports, and doesn’t really like one better than the other, but we know she is very good in Tennis. Phyllis likes the music of Harry James and the King Cole Trio. As yet, her plans for the future are indefinite, but we know she'll be successful. DELFINA MALHEIRO 104 Ferry St. “O” is the last letter of Delfina’s last name, When there’s work to be done she’s always game, Dolly is the class songbird only she hasn’t convinced quite all of us. She sings at the Portuguese Sports Club, and you should hear her come out with a “Souse” American Song. She’s really great. Dolly has a great voice for music and actions to go with it. But we must not forget that she’s here for art and is making out very well. You can usually pick out her work from the rest of the class because she uses a great deal of water color in pastel shades. Dolly enjoys sewing and swimming and hopes to continue her art at college. MARTIN MAKOW 227 Custer Ave. “M” is for Martin, with curly black head. We're still not sure whether he’s living or dead. If you’ve enjoyed the films screened in the Auditorium recently during our lunch periods, you can thank Martin Makow. He is extremely interested in Motion Pictures, and has his own film collection, complete with screen and pro- jector. Besides his work on our school paper, the Drama Club has kept Martin quite busy. With a high scholastic rating, Martin also found time one term to do a very good job of serving on our Student Council. He’ll be graduating soon, and hopes to continue successfully with his Arts. HARRY MARGOLIS 14 Ivy St. “H” is for Harry, not noisy or loud, A hard working member of our basketball crowd! A swell guy and tops in everything he ven- tures is a perfect description of Harry. He has been a faithful member of the basketball team and as he said “enjoyed every minute of it”. One of Harry’s hobbies is photography. He has de- veloped and enlarged many pictures for his classmates, Harry has his own private dark room in his home, and is always anxious to show a few of his female classmates how to develop pie- tures!) Harry enjoys baseball. Harry plans on going to N.Y.U, or if Uncle Sam pages him first, to the Army Air Corps,
