HAROLD MOORE “H” stands for Harold, a model pupil, To try and beat him, will sure prove futile. Brains plus ability add up to one of the brightest fellows in the senior class. Harold came to our school with the majority of our class as freshmen in 1942. Since his arrival in the school he has done nothing but make the highest marks in our class and is at the present time President of our class. Harold intends to continue his art training and is getting experience at the present time in a distinguished Newark Printing House. We have no reason to doubt that Harold will be a roaring success in whatever he does. EDITH DE ROSE 256 Walnut St. “D” is for De Rose, Edith by name In dress-designing we hope she'll win fame. A combination of intellect, charm and a certain vigor for the arts and crafts is a real definition of Edie. She has pranced through four years of high school, but we know she has to gallop after entering the office of trea- surer. Among Edie’s many pastimes is the care of children and her ever lasting desire to be a dress designer. She intends to go to college to further her art interest, and we know she'll be a success because of her earn- estness and ability to do so. Here’s wishing her luck. 123 Highland Ave. DOLORES IASCONE “J he 178 Parker St. stands for Iascone, the first name Dolores, She’s a chick little dancer, fancy her in a chorus. This special dish is known to many of us as “Dee”. We often find her sporting the school colors, but she’s in her glory when you give her a radio, good music and a dancing partner. She’s a favorite among us, and you can depend on her to liven up a party. Dee enjoys all out door sports and keeps her figure trim by swim- ming at the Y. If you should ever see her bent over a piece of paper, two out of three times she’s drawing fashion figures. Dee intends to go to night school or college to continue her work in fashion drawing. LOUISE DUCHEK 69 W. Market St. “L” is for Louise of whom there’s a song, And we all know not a word of it is wrong. Attractive, friendly and always happy is the best description of Lou. Her best known char- acteristics are an ever playful laugh and a tend- ency to blush at the least provocation. If by chance you should enter home room a little late, you will hear a mild voice shout, “Get a late slip.” Yes, it’s Louise, our attendance keeper. But getting on to her likes, she loves all sports and thinks Louis Prima’s recordings are just tops. Louise is taking fashion designing, and we all know she'll be a roaring success. So here’s all the luck in the world to a swell girl.

JERRY MELILLO 35 Cutler St. “J” is for Jerry who plays the guitar, He sings and warbles, this gay Lochinvar. “Mr. Mayor!” is the frequent phrase we hear in homeroom, and you can be sure Jerry is within reaching distance. Jerry, as we all know. is the president of the Student Council. We can thank him for his helping hand in the organ- izing of the Hall Patrol. Sale of War Stamps and Bonds, Basketball Team and the Recreation Room. Jerry goes in for all sports and has also served on our unforgetable basketball team. His art work is significant for its streamlined effect. His main ambition is to be in Uncle Sam’s Air Force. JOE MONTAGUE 222 Charlton St. “M” is for Montague as small and quiet as a mouse But when he laughs or speaks he carries the house. “Little Joe” is the name of this fellow, but he’s packed full of jokes and always has a big smile for everyone. The old saying that good things come in small packages is followed out to the letter by Joe. He is one of Miss Howard’s favorite students because of his fine commercial art work, After graduation Joe intends to con- tinue his commercial art work. THOMAS MILLARD 83 Crane St. “M” is for Millard, our funny friend Thomas, At comedy acting, he surely shows promise. The word “quiet” is not in Thomas’ vocab- ulary. Tom is a bright student in his academ- ic work, but most of us envy him most because of his great gift of gab. Tom also is fond of photography and has produced some expert shots. I suppose he’s kept almost as busy as Mr. Lowry, or so he tells us. Right now the “surge of native music has rooted itself in Tom’s blood. Drumming is what we call it, but I hear there‘s another name for it. Alas! Uncle Sam likes Tom almost as much as we do, and is waiting with anxious arms to enfold him. So he leaves his history (which he loves, sez he), his police force, law prac- tise, drums, art and college behind him while he kisses last but not least the hundreds of shapely girls goodbye. LOIS NOLIBOW 2 Osborne Terrace A touch of the orient describes Lois for she is small, clever and sociable. Although she has been a short time with us, she has been taken into the fold and is liked by everyone. Her hopes for the future lie in dress design- ing. Her careful and attractive taste in clothes shows us that her plans will be fulfilled. Dancing, reading and writing to someone across the sea are her favorite hobbies. Lois does her share in the war effort by giving a measure of her time attending Canteen meet- ings. After graduation she plans to visit Cal- ifornia before launching upon her career. Perhaps she will discover another Gold Mine! We sincerely hope she will. Much happiness and success!

LYDIA RECINIELLO 359 North 12th St. “R” stands for Reciniello, the class’ little chick, With her new hairdo she looks mighty slick. Here comes another of the rare people that can graduate in three and a half years. Lydia, the cheerful fittle girl who has a good word for everyone. During her four years in Arts, she has been a member’ of the Drama- tics Club, Red Cross, Student Council and the Photography Club. We must also remember that she had more than a helping hand in the making of our service flag. Besides her love of all sports, especially bowling, roller and ice skating. Lydia enjoys a good football game. But her one and only ambition is to be a dress designer. We often find her draping very charming dresses about her fourteen models. CHESTER STETSKO 118 Pulaski St. “C” is for Chester almost 6 feet tall, If you haven’t met him, you’ve met nothing at all. “Chet” is the lucky boy with all that art ability. He’s perfect in figure drawing, and has the boys, as well as the girls, drooling over his individual technique. Chet has been a good artist ever since he entered our fair school in °42. He has im- proved immensely, but his one characteristic which remains the same is his ever revealing shy- ness. Chet is greatly interested in all kinds of sports, but he shines the most in baseball and bowling. He intends to go in the art field, with Prat t Institute his next stop, that is if Uncle Sam doesn’t get him first. Good luck, Chet, and smooth sailing. RUDOLPH SIEGALOVSKY 176 Peshine Ave. “R” is for Rudolph, so tall and straight, He’s a real “eager-beaver”, and always late. Dark-haired Rudolph Siegalovsky has been a regular student of old Arts High for almost three years, and has by no means been in- active. Besides keeping up with his school work, he has engaged himself whole-heartedly In many extra-curricular activities. Among these activities is his sincere work In our evening life classes, his job as a re- porter on the SCOPE staff, and his participa- tion in our school’s Dramatic Class. His most important hobby is, of course. ART. Secondary only to that is his interest in Photography. He has his own dark room, fully equipped, at his home. Being enrolled in ratt University is his only and most impor- tant ambition. ROBERT WINKLER 24 Hawthorne Ave. “R” stands for Robert, the blond Adonis of the senior class. He charms and delights the heart of every lass. Do you hear a friendly laugh and quick moving feet coming down the hall? Well you can bet it’s energetic Bob, or Wink as he is called by the populace of A. H. S. Bob is well liked by both teachers and students and is majoring in fine arts which he intends to continue after the war. Although Wink has just been taken from our class by the Navy his everlasting humor has remained with us. His favorite subject is girls followed closely by more girls. Under the G. I. Bill of Rights, Bob may choose his own college after the war. So all we can say is all the luck in the world to one swell fellow.
