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.

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.

DOLORES GALASSINI 108 Elm St. “G” stands for Gasolini, our Spanish like girl, She charms and keeps all their hearts in a whirl. Arts was blessed with a swell person with plenty of appeal when Dolores came here. She’s liked by all and spreads joy wherever she chances to go. We’ve nicknamed her “Gasolini”. Call her it and see the colors flash. Dolores is always busy. Just ask her what she’s doing Fri- day night, and her prompt answer will be, “I’m going roller skating or to the Adams”. Gasolini likes swimming, and you'll be sure to find her at the Olympic Park during the summer. Dolores expects to further her ambition in dress-design- ing after graduation, but as yet she hasn’t deci- ded on any particular school or college. ARTHUR SKUCAS 153 North 12th St. Here’s a new twist for the Arts High record. Arthur is certainly a guy in a million as far as Arts High is concerned. Doing his job in a per- fect way in the Navy for four years to keep us school kids safe at home is a record hard to beat. But he finally had to slow down when in the invasion of the Philippines he was knocked out of battle and sent home with a piece of shrapnel in his leg and suffering from shell shock. A fel- low like Art will make a grand Art teacher, and he has our blessing. You have done your job, and well; you certainly deserve the best. CAROLINE GIARDINA 23 Grand Ave. “C” is for Caroline; heads turn when she comes in Because she is always as neat as a pin. Caroline is another one of the few smart students who are graduating in three and a half years. Her hobbies are photography and stamp collecting. She also collects hit parade records and swoons over the music of Glen Miller. Caroline has another favorite interest, but it’s quite different from the previous ones mentioned. We are sure it’s a certain singer but that’s all she'll say about it. Her slogan must be: “If you seal your lips good and strong, you'll keep your boy friend that much longer”. Caroline is another lover of sports and has been a faithful member of the Stu dent Patrol. Her greatest aim is to be a dress designer, and we know she'll be a success. MELVIN KLAPHOLZ 187 Scheerer Ave. “K” is for Klapholz so paunchy and blonde, Of eating and sleeping he is very fond. Melvin Klapholz is our own Bob Hope! Every morning, when blonde-headed, hazel- eyed Melvin walks into the classroom, you ean expect some sort of corny gag. But, seriously, he is a very adept student, especially in the field of Art, and even studies ia our evening classes. Recently he won honorable mention in the annual Bamberger’s Scholastic Contest, and he hopes to do better next year. You can always be sure of fun when Klapholz is around, because even when he has run out of jokes, just looking at the expression on his face inspires others to witty quips. Yes, Mel Klapholz is our one and only sun- shine boy!
