DEDICATION EMANUEL HALLER The gloved hand of War has hit us et Out of an orgy of blood, death, and destructions it has reached to snatch our loved ones and classmates. Many who should be with us as we receive our diplomas on commencement day are far away. Our hearts are with them, though, and theirs with us. Although our theme is light and gay, deep in our hearts we are serious. If we make fun in this book forgive us, for these are trying times. It is to the servicemen from our class that this book is dedicated, reverently, yet hopeful that they will read it and laugh with us. No matter where they are on commencement day, they will be with us on the platform as we leave for the world outside. We pray fervently to God to bring them safe and sound back to us and to share our success and happiness!

ROSE MARIE ALBERTI 318 North 10th St Beauty and brains don’t mix, so they say. Don’t you believe it. Rosie is the living con- tradiction of that statement. Her sparkling personality is another reason why she was elected president of our senior class. Doing outstanding work as Art Editor of the Vignette, and excelling as a member of the student patrol, do not interfere with her scholarship. She is one of that bashful and quiet type — that is until she feels that things are going to pot, then she grabs in the reins and takes over, to straighten it out. She swears that no one in her family is a contortionist but —if you could see the weird positions that girl gets in, you’d never believe it. The future is Art. that she’s sure of, but just where to study, is the question. We’re satisfied that “all ends well for a girl that’s swell”. PALMA CIERI 40 Webster St. Well, here’s one girl who has reason to be proud of the gray hair she has for she got them by doing an A number one job as Busi- ness Manager of the Vignette. She must be honest; she is the class treasurer and she has taken excellent care of our miserable fortune. Oh that’s not all, not by a long shot, for she has received honorable mention in the New Jersey Regional Scholastic Art Exhibition. The movie star, Olivia De Havilland, has the plea- sure of receiving a regular correspondence from Palma, as Palma feels that “Livie” is the tops in looks and acting. Going to a col- lege of designing is the dream Palma has, and we know her ambition won’t go wrong because of that old saying, “Bright, then Right’. HELEN MARIE STARKO 11 Fifth St. Here is one girl that hates to get up in the morning, but has to get up earlier than the aver- age student for she is president of the Junior Red Cross and is our vice-president. Both meet at 8:30. Besides these morning activities, she has also been a member of the Student Council, the Student Patrol, and the War Stamps collec- tor when we first started buying them in school. Her disposition is always pleasant, and she is always ready to stop and talk to anyone. Helen took the Fine Arts Course, and she plans to take the same course while attending Newark Art School. Her ambition? To continue her art career and become a fine artist, with maybe a litthe commercial art work thrown in. CHARLIE ADAMO 261 Bergen St. Charlie is the tall, dark, irresistable type! Irresistable because of his sparkling personality! A patron of Art and fervent athletic fan, he is also an outstanding member of the dramatic club. His portrayal in the “Young Adventure” veri- fies our statement. We can never forget it. Charlie is quite the one on the “keyboard”. His secret ambition is to lead a symphony orchestra, though he plans to make art his career. He pre- fers the commercial art field. First Charlie expects to help Uncle Sam win out, in the Army. Then he will continue his art and music eduea- tion. He has done a fine job as our basket ball manager, Here's to you, Charlie! Happiness and the best of luck in the future!
