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!

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.

ARTHUR NOVICH 229 Conklin Ave., Hillside “A” is for Arthur, our traveler supreme, When it comes to geography, he’s on the beam! Arthur Novich is the stout, bright-looking, eager boy you’ve seen carrying that seemingly ominous valise. He is forever cheery, and you can always expect some sort of hilarious gag from him. He excells in the field of Art, and hopes to make that field his life’s work. Arthur likes our school so much he attends it in spite of the tuition he is required to pay. This obese gentleman enjoys studies like history especially. (Wow! History?!!) We all wish him the best of luck and hope he achieves his goal! PORES, Sm, Sop eee ee lea me . % Dt ES GO: MARY PERRY T96 West Kinney ™ St. “M” stands for Mary, our associate editor, Beaming with sweetness, how can we forget her. Most of us won't forget Mary because of her activity in connection with this yearbook. She has worked hard this term, and if you know our class well, you'll know she had to. Mary scolded this one, helped that one, plead- ed with another but got the work in on time. Whenever we see Mary, she is with one of favorite pals, Dot Bailey. Oh that inseparable pair! Mary shines in all her school activities and likes most everything, but especially writ- ing to service men. Eh Mary? She intends to be a free lance artist and is going to college to prepare for this field. When she graduates, she hopes to do a little traveling, Mexico will be the first stop. LUCILLE PALUMBO 100 Highland Ave. “L” is for Lucille, our quaint little rabbit Hopping about for the G. O. is her merry habit. Proud isn’t the word for it, but it surely ex- presses the way we feel about these students who finish High School in 3! 2 years. Lucille is an- other perfect example. She has been very active in her school work as well as other school ac- tivities. Lucille is secretary of our student coun- cil, and has been a member of this organization ever since her freshman term. She also belongs to the Red Cross Staff. Favorite sports are roller skating and baseball, however, best of all she likes writing to service men. Maybe we should say three cheers for the Navy. Lucille seems to be on her way to success. JEAN PONISI 42 Fulton St. “J” is for Jean, the last name Ponisi, Her main characteristic is taking life easy. Happy-go-lucky is a perfect description of Jean. She never has trouble with anyone, except maybe the teachers, for talking. She’s been the butt of many jokes and takes them as well as she gives them. Jean’s favorite subject is her niece. Jean is a hard worker. She is liked very much by all because of her naturalness and ability to make friends. She enjoys sports and rates high in most of them, especially bowling. She has been a member of the choir for four years and hopes to get a key upon graduating. What do you think she’s paying her dues for? Jean is inter- ested in interior decoration, and we hope she'll continue to have many friends and much success.
