We needed the courage of men Who would back up Uncle Sam. So when the bugle was sounded, And fife and drum played their tune, Thousands of youths rushed to the ranks; — This strife must end;— and soon. Twelve of our Arts High students Answered the nation’s call, Boys who had studied in peace here, Who had once traversed these halls. So alive, with so much to live for, They fought for a brighter place To realize their hopes and ambitions And those of every race. Twelve gold stars now Stand for them,— each for a life they gave. Let’s keep their spirit moving; The peace they died for, let’s save. —Adele Schwartz MopEsTINO COPPOLA GEORGE A. PETERSON Epwarp DiLuzNIewskI HERMAN SANDLER JosepH HARRINGTON WALTER SEIDMAN Joun A. HeEppEs WittiAM SAUNDERS Frank M. Marson RoBert WALLACE JAMES Murren FRANK ZINNO Four Seniors of 1946: The curtain falls on the last act of your Arts High School pageant. You have acted well your parts, you Seniors, one and all. A new and larger drama now begins, produced on the stage of life, where each must take his part, some with laughter, some with solemn dignity, others wea- ried with honest toil. The scenes will change from time to time, for some the scene will be an office in a busy department store or industrial firm. A quiet peaceful room in a vineclad cot- tage will be the stage setting for some; another may sit in a concert hall filled with admirers lis- tening to you, a great singer or violinist; again, an artist’s studio will attract the audience. So far your acts have been more like re- hearsals than those of a play. Now the real drama is on, and to play your part well this time will call for real courage and effort. Your aud- ience is the world, and the applause you receive will come only when beauty and meaning are in the work you do. We do not know. we cannot tell what part is set for each, but my sincere wishes go with you. In whatever role you have “Act well your part, there all the honor lies.” Loyally yours, Vi, iG VICE Catlin Today’s world - and tomorrow’s - has need of the same spirit of democratic cooperation which, matured in your school life, finds graphic expression in these pages. Be true to it beyond these portals, for while it lives within you the brotherhood of man on earth - faint and ephemeral though it may seem to some - still shines, beacon-like, amid the storms and shadows of our days. ie Landobfhi Five PROLOGUE The curtain rises on our “Vignette” The cast is ready. The stage is set. We've worked and planned to put it through, And now we proudly present it to you. Shakespeare said in that immortal age, That “all the world is but a stage”. In which we each fulfill a dream. So on the theater we based our theme. Arts High for us has been the stage, And helped us through youth’s glorious age. These years of joy we wish ne’er to forget. That’s why we present this play, “Vignette”. Rose Greco THE PLAYBULL ACT I Ay PRESENTING THE STARS June Class 1946 . . January Class 1947 N TNS SEVP PRED ANS — .

SHINTO RS JUNE ° 46 550 High Street Newark, New Jersey Dear Vignette, June 1946 Visions of prematurely grayed teachers, lower classmen (the potential criminals of Arts High) following in the wake of their senior idols, rack our brains. How one class could have created such upheaval, such dissension within four years, is beyond comprehension. Certainly none can boast a more colorful history. For two years, starting with that momentous day in September 1942 when Miss Howard received us with open arms, we had participated in a series of unsurpassed misadventures. Lincoln, the great emancipator, was no more an angel of mercy than our own Principal, who kindly relieved Miss Howard of any further obligation to us. In our third year, most of us were transferred to Miss Brooker’s room, while the rem- nants of our party, moved in and shared room 220 with Miss Travelsted’s 2A’s. “United we stand; divided we fall.”— We fell! Each calamity that occurred was felt less and less; separated we could do little damage. But — just as the calm precedes the storm, two years later, in our senior year, we were again merged into a single, more powerful group, and picking up the ends of our still smolder- ing past, we fanned the smoke with our misdemeanors, until it burst forth into flame, and we continued on our infamous journey to graduation, our destination. Adorning Rogue’s gallery some day you may find our pictures. But our souls were not wholly dedicated to the perverse; we had our good points too. Now we shall cease to generalize and look at us individually — at our Doctor Jekyl sides. As we reminisce, we see the class congregated at the corner of High and William Streets. The last bell hasn’t yet rung and nobody’s in a hurry, so, Dan continues to strum on an imagi- nary guitar, while Joel, Anthony and Joe blend their voices harmoniously, as they keep in time with Ray’s tapping foot. But it’s now 8:33, and a general rush for the door, a dashing up the stairs and into the of- fice for late slips occurs. Once in homeroom, Vincent displays his most recent Rhumba crea‘ion, while Richard gazes on. A newly formed clique are eathered in the rear of the room in which Bob, Wanda, Elmer and Jean, Ann, Florence, Adele and Martin discuss—ahem—the issues of the day. Beverly and Steve silently cram for a test, while Rose, Jean, Dolores Dafledecker, and Jean Pavona stand about worrying over it. Rick and Gus tease Loretta, as Saul admires Herbert’s muscles. Tom starts a conversa- tion with Lillian and Louise, and they vainly try to hear themselves above the din. Paired off. we find Rhoda and Delores, sighing over Frankie’s latest picture, and Nina beside Gloria drooling at the latest edition of Vogue. We rejoice to find our memory has not failed us, and indeed——unless we are stricken with amnesia. it never will. For, who could forget the class of June “46.

TAGLIAFERRO 147 Warren St. A wonderful personality with plenty of am- bition is the characteristic which makes M ke, our mayor, so popular. He s manager of the basketball team, and was president of the Art Club and his class in his Junior year. He is one of those smart students graduating in three and a half years. After graduation Mike in- te-ds to continue his education at college, BERNARD DIETZ 598 South 12th St. Bern e is one of the more intellectual mem- bers of our class. He excels in writing music and literaure, which talent he contr-butes to our school by writing for the Scope. Other interests of his are baseball and the Dramat'e Club. Aft- er graduation he intends to continus working with an advert’sing company where he is now employed. SENIORS JAN. °47 ‘Twenty-two VICE PRESIDENT ALEX SANTA MARIA 6 Adams St. The words “a swell fellow” are used, by all who know hm to describe him best. Since his one great interest in life is baseball, he is an active player wth the Newark Cubs. To be a professional baseball player jis his hope for the future and we wish hin: the best of luck. BEATRICE GEV AS 13 Nelson Place One of the prettiest unassuming girls in 4B is our Gree'an beauty, Beatrice. Her interests are the piano and art, while skating, reading and singing in the school choir. occupy much of her spare time, Although her plans are not defi- nite, she intends to eontinve her art education after graduation, SECRETARY SENIORS ROSE GRECO 278 South Seventh St. A happy go tucky, all around girl, with a TAN. 2 good sense of humor equals Rose. She likes to read and write short stories in her spare time. In school the Dramatie Club and the Vignette Staff have enjoyed her presence. After gradu- ation she intends to continue her art education by attending N.S,F.LA. TREASURER PAULINE BONAT 281 Belmont Ave. Pauline ‘s a girl that Arts High will miss. She is president of the Jurior Red Cress, class treasurer, business editor of the Vignette and has been secretary of the Student Council and Basketball team. Pauline has also been a faith- ful member of the Dramatic Club. Her ambi- tion is to be a teacher. RICHARD GUARIGLIA 83 Chadwick Ave. If you see a dark handsome boy singing around our corridors you can be sure it is Dick, the Frank Sinatra of our school. Besides girls and singing, his ma‘n interests, he is one of the great stars of our basketball team. One of his ambitions ‘s to be a basketball referee, but first he has a date with Uncle Sam, WILLIAM GRIFFING 23 Fulton St. If you see a couple of pretty girls walking along you can be sure William is near by. This of course isn’t his only hobby. Whenever you SENIORS hear the click of a camera you can be sure it’s Bill taking a picture. A photography college JAN. °47 in New York is his next stop. Twenty-three SENIORS JAN. 47 MEESON KISLING 187 Sixteenth Ave. Meeson is a model, lovely, well poised, and soft spoken. Her hobby of collect'ng spoons is a very unusual one. She is now modeling and will continue doing so after graduation, zlthough art will always be her favorite pastime. CLIFFORD PIZZI 600 North 8th St. Cliff enlisted in the Army for three years in October of 1945. He has been stationed at Fort Hancock, Missouri, and Frankfurt, Ger- many. We are all proud of him and wish him the best of everything in his Army life. SENIORS JAN. °47 Twenty-four CHRISTELLE MIKEDES 18 Baldwin St. Chris is known as one of the cutest end best dressed girls in Arts High. She is very talented in art, which is her favorite hobby. Some col- lege will certainly enjoy her presence after graduation. ROSE MARJORIE SABLE 189 Mapes Ave. Rose ‘s another pretty girl who is on the road to a modeling career. Bowling is her favorite pastime while oil painting is her spe- clalty. She is another girl who helps make our cho.r a suecess, After graduation she intends to further her education at college. LUCILLE SALV ATORE 188 Malvern St. Attractive, friendly and a very trim dresser is the best description of Lu. A lover of sports, she is the champion basketball player on her church team and has a keen interest in baseball. Her other hobbies are skating and reading. Al- though her plans are not definite, she intends to continue studying art. JEANETTE VERZE 617 North Eighth St, Wherever there is fun, music, laughter and noise you can be sure Jeanette’s around, for she is the best swing fan of .he school. She has contributed her share to the school through the Dramatie Club, Hall Patrol, and the choir. The N.S.F.LA. will be her next stop, after gradua- tion, where she will specialize in commercial art, Twenty-five SENIORS JAN. 747 GEORGE MUELLER 63 Fifth fe. George ‘s that dark handsome fellow who the girls all gaze at. Besides being blessed with good looks, he is very talented in art and won a pr.ze for his cover desgn used in Newark’s new booklet. Pratts is the lucky school which he has chosen to attend after he graduates. SEYMOUR PLAEGER 831 Bergen St. Seymour is the serious, quiet, all around fel- low. His favorite pastime is fishing while swim- ming and football are other sports he enjoys. He plans to continue helping his father after graduation, SENIORS JAN. °47 Who's Who in the Cast OF JANUARY 1947 x On stage, everybody! Curtain going up on the class of January 1947. First on the show is our glamour girl chorus. From left to right; Exquisite Meeson Kisling, cute Chris Mikedes, at- tractive Lucille Salvatore, and beautiful Beatrice Gevas. Our chorus is unbeatable when it comes to good looks. The next number on the program is handsome Dick Guariglia, singing Bernie Dietz’s latest song. Swoon, girls, swoon. Dick is the only fellow who can sing and dribble a basketball at the same time. Act three includes Mueller and Griffing. They go into a swimming act (well, it’s wet, anyway). Youll find Pauline Bonat at the box office selling tickets. She’s our candidate for future secretary of the treasury. The intermission is tak- en up by a speech by our mayor, Mike Tagliaferro. Meeson and Rose now are on stage singing “friendship”. Back stage now is Rose Greco taking care of the curtain, (she likes anything back stage). Next performers are that famous team—the sailor and the soldier, Ken Hilliard and Cliff Pizzi. This act is followed by a monologue by Jeanette Verze. She likes anything where she can do all the talking and Jeanette has the voice to do it. That’s our show with the finest cast of troupers that ever eraced the halls of Arts High. Twenty-six 4 bh Twenty-seven ee eae i : : : sedibiesrcsiin sn ibscs Gea MUSIC x Are there times when you're feeling distracted, When you're tired of this world, of your home, When your life seems useless and dismal, And you feel so despondent, alone. But through the morbid atmosphere Penetrates a beautiful sound, As the strains of a melody greet you, Turning your mood quite around. The sweetness, the beauty, the rhythm. The swelling as vibrations grow. A momentary discord, Now fast — now very slow. A beating of far off tom-toms, So light one can hardly perceive, But louder and louder they’re getting, For a climax they must achieve. With a crash of cymbals, the blasting of horns, Drums rumbling like thunder. The highest point of excitement is reached: Past sombreness blasted asunder. And only those thoughts remain in your mind Of the heavenly rapture of living. All this was inspired by music Of the melodious tones it was giving. — Adele Schwartz Thirty ACT IU SCENE I UMDERSTUDIES JUNIORS CLASS OF JUNE 1947 x ZOOM, and here we are finishing off our third year at good old Arts High. Those years went by very fast since we first glided through these halls, but we hear tell thai the senior year is just a wee bit tough. That shouldn’t bother us, because we'll just continue at our usual top rate speed. (ahem) Turning the pages of our scrap book we see Mike Tagliaferro who has honored us by being elected mayor, but has left us to join the seniors. Now we come to Artie Holmes, the honorable Deputy Mayor, who also does a swell job on our basketball team. The other rough and tough members of the team stationed in our home- rooms are, Mel Appel, Joseph Angello and Vern Forman. The cheerful cheerleaders are Vir- ginia, Leonore and Columbia. On the next page of our crowded scrap book are the officers of our class. Artie is Pres- ident, Connie is Vice President, Lenore is Secretary and Angelina is Treasurer of all our mil- lions. Our talented dramatists are Lillian Barry, Betty Lee Noar, Lenore Becker and our new arrivals, Lois and Gloria. The big bad wolves are Joe and Americo. Carmen, Mel and Drew do all right, too. Anna Nardone is the girl that keeps us in stitches, especially Audrey, Viola and Joan who ire the pals that listen to her troubles over B—, oh, but that would be telling. The glamour girls in the class are — why all of us, natch. In the art department, Jean Marsh and Connie Sedares are among the winners of the Scholastic Contest. Since our class is divided into two homerooms, there are two teachers who have to bear with us, Miss Johnston of 308 and Miss Heider of 304. They are wonderful to us and we really can't think of any other teacher we would rather have shout themselves hoarse over our chatter. Now another year has come to an end and our scrap book is closing and with a departing glance we will remember the fun, laughter and enjoyment of our junior year . Thitty-two CLASS OF JANUARY 1948 st Dear Class of 413, Love and friendship always prevail, in 413, if you don’t believe us ask Teddy Richlan and Albert Bisch. Bill Windle and Marilyn Kessler aren’t so slow on that matter either. 413 is proud to produce such a fine artist as Norma Norcio, and Eddie Enrall. Jean Bertl and Jeanette Perry are quiet, but know all the answers. Jennie Ciampi and Marie Cesaro always have a hardy laugh ready when we ask them if they studied their history. Lorraine Ruth- erford, Thelma Greco and Dolores Lucarello are our talented glamor girls. Watch out boys! Dominick Mangheisi is a tender spot in all the girls hearts, only he doesn’t know it, yet! Ben Go- lardi (the boy who always walks in late) and Sam Friedman are forever teasing “poor Miriam” Weiner. Berta Immerman is the little pep girl. Leonard Prince (our class Sinatra) has given up those bow ties. Anthony Weichel, will you ever stop teasing Rosali Ciccone? Florence Kuebler looks sweet with her bangs. The “back of the room boys” are Leo Balasos and Robert Strakey. They must feel safe back there! Ferdinand Chinn, Bill Windle and Bes Golardi are our contributions to the bas- ketball team. Laura Fisher is a cute quiet redhead. Did you ever hear Sheila MacNulty put on an Irish accent? Shes really good. Dottle Zimmerman’s hair is always so neat and pretty that sometimes we think she ylues it in place. Josephine Concorso is our class secretary. Bill Hayes is our class poet and also an excellent hand for sculpture. Last, but not least, is Mr. Lowry, our counselor and homeroom teacher. Whatever we are, he’s responsible, unless we are bad. We end this letter by wishing the seniors the best of luck in the future. Sincerely, Josephine Concorso and Ben Golardi Thirty-three LIFE DRAMA Prologue | sometimes stop and think of life, As more than just a daily strife. I think as Shakespeare in Elizabeth’s age. That all the world is an enormous stage. The theater’s hushed, the houselights dim, As we breathlessly wait for life to begin. Act I The curtain rises. The footlights gleam. We each portray a living dream. We step on stage in the leading role. A performance guided by the soul. The plot reveals childhood, then youth. A study of life, and its human truth. Our directors are our fathers and mothers. The featuring players, our sisters and brothers. Our homes and schools set the scene. We live. We hope. We love. We dream. Act I Down comes the curtain on act one, For middle life has now begun. Curtain going up on act two. Get ready for an important cue. We work. We think to get ahead. We meet. We love, and eventually wed. Down falls the curtain on middle age. Change your makeup! Set the stage! It’s time now, for the finale aet. You must make an exit and never turn back. Act UI Up with the curtain on act three. You now have a grandchild on your knee. Soon the curtain will descend. Your tears, and joys, your loves will end. The only applause that will reach your ears, Are your loved ones’ sorrows, sobs, and tears. They are your critics, the ones you love, They Il send the reviews to Him above. To Him above they ll send the news, Whether or not you've missed your cues. Did you study your lines? Did you know your part? Was your performance sincere? Did it come from the heart? Was your play a success? He will know. Were you fair to both, your friend and foe? Come now and take your bow. Tears and regret won't change it now. dveryone is given one part, one play. It runs for a lifetime, don’t throw it away. Rose GRECO Thirty-four ACT II SEM INS | UMDERSTUDIES ( y os TAT Coe He ‘Luho SOPHOMORES CLASS OF JUNE 1948 It was a gay September morn in 1944 when we entered Arts High as a group of trembling freshmen. We were divided into two homerooms under Miss Brown and Miss Ann Johnston. If you will visit room 320 with me you will hear and meet the following people. Jack i) Peco; mn e . ¥ . . . . . . 9 Trimpin, our fashion genius, crashes in to tell you about the terrific fashion he’s done. June Owen swishes in raving about Granyom. Our sports reporter Dolores Loray enters with the great news of another Arts High Victory. One by one as the minutes pass the class begins to form. The girl who has just entered so quietly is Jean Ciccone, who has just left that tall blond boy. The stillness is broken by the ringing of the last bell, and the shuffling of running feet; the homeroom period begins. Collections are then taken by Elaine Ross our Red Cross represent- ative and here comes Roger Crowley and Clarence Hunter late as usual just in time for their daily scolding. The bell will be ringing for the first period soon, so before you leave accompany me in a visit to room 210 where you can become acquainted with more members of our class. As we enter Norman Locker, Donald Smith, Jean Rackell and Emil Serio are busily working at the sink; whi le Douglas Little is studying his latest dramatic part. The boy who just came in is Walter Kerner and the boy who just tore himself away from those three charming young ladies is Casanova Maroulakos. Pat Moon, Dolores Rebar and Angelina Polucci are the girls who just came in followed by one of Arts High’s cheerleaders Colleen Cole. Another glamor girl, Rivoli Roth, has just separated from her half dozen escorts and deposited her late slip on Angelo De Falco’s desk. Rutledge reluctantly stalks in and the class convenes as Andy Antonelli reads the Bible. John Curry enters next and Jackson follows him. Miss Hamilton’s voice then fills the room with announcements on the radio and we leave until next year when I will be back to tell you more about these 2A’s who will then be juniors. Thirty-six iu CLASS OF JANUARY 1949 x Our Freshman class came into Arts High in the Spring term of February 1945. There were 54 of us in all. Our homeroom teachers are Miss Shrimplin and Mr. Perry. Since coming to Arts High we have lost several of our original’ pupils but have gained new ones. : | I think our most interesting class member is John Hardiman. John was an infantryman in the U.S. Army. He trained in camps in Kentucky and Mississippi with thirty months service to his credit, twenty-one of which were spent overseas. We’re all proud of Johnny and pleased that he picked Arts High to attend. In John’s own words, “Arts High is swell”. We all think you're pretty swell yourself, John. : Our class scholars are Lee Farber, Madeline De Rosa. Carolyn Marsh represents us on the Vignette Staff and also the Scope. Carol also plays the violin in the school orchestra. From room 419 Lee Farber is on the Vignette Staff, and also a member of the stage crew. Lee Cifelli is our representative for the student council. The class pests from 110 are Betty Trum, Regina Mallen and Bernice Brown. We wish to congratulate the Seniors on their fourth coming event. Perhaps the only conclusion we can arrive at in our class history is that the past won't influence our future. Let’s give our teachers a break. Thirty-seven MUSICAL REVIEW x To youth all the world can be music. There is music everywhere, if only you will look for it. Many songs have come and gone since we have first come here four short years ago, but always in our memory will live these humorous associations of once popular music and our “care- free high school days”.

Since we entered Arts High, members of our class have become very active in the school’s activities. Phil Buener is the basket-ball player of the class, while Vivian Martin is the sax- ophone player in the orchestra and sings in the choir with Marian Shorter and others. Our two ftithful Red Cross representatives are Irene Ricardelli and Margie Webb. The girl whom you see running about the school with copies of the ““New York Times” is our class hero, Eleanor Bryant, who also represents us on the Scope, Vignette, and the Student Council. Alice McKen- na, Audrey Marcell and Helen Margeotes give their services to the school by being hall patrol members. Besides Eleanor, Elizabeth Dosch, Thaddeus Januskiewiz and Rose Marie Cala- brese represent us in the Student Council. On the more intellectual side of our class you will find Eleanor Minnick, who is not only efficient in her studies, but talented in music and man- ages the finances of the Scope. If you chanced to visit us during a homeroom period, you would see everyone working diligently on their bookkeeping homework. Delores Davis would be occupied trying to reach high C, while our merrymakers, Delores Pisko and Helen Jianus, would be laughing hysterically or wrestling with each other. I think you can understand now why we feel as much a part of the school as any of you art students. There are many other people in our class who are doing their share in some way to help build up Arts High, but I have neither words nor space to continue. Before I finish this history of the 2A Commercial Class we all wish to thank our home- room teachers, Miss Eddy and Miss Keehner and our advisers and the rest of the school for making us want to cherish these days at Arts High forever. Forty 2B COMMERCIALS xt With great anticipation we came to Arts High. Feeling timid and cautious. we entered the doors, ail we looked up the beautiful marble staircase, Birethine about it seemed to give us courage to continue to the auditorium. There we were assigned to our homerooms with Miss Howard and Mr. Criswell. At last we felt as if we had maeien angels. After the task of making out schedules and schedules, and recitation slips galore, we went home before we had a dienes to see the school. After a short while, we became accustomed to the procedure of the day and we made new friends among the other students — both art and commercial. The teachers became our sincere friends; phohana and typewriting were no longer mysteries and even Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” held our undivided attention. Most of us came from Cleveland and Robert Treat Junior High Schools, and it wasn’t long before we discovered how much we had in common. We found ine Weeds and Lil- ian: Minter were always ready with a joke no matter what the situation was. Mary Lampkin turned out to be the class poet and a very good one too. Pauline Ashton, the former president of the Robert Treat Sudent Council, is now willingly giving her services to Arts High. Some of us are serving on the hall patrol and Florine Giorgio Aaah Jenny Kroll of 206 Au Virginia Beachum and Penelope Pappas of 204 represent us on the Student Council. Every day brings the time for our departure from Arts nearer and nearer. It is certainly true, time waits for no man. Although it took us a while to get oriented to Arts High, it will take us much longer to forget it. We are glad to be remaining here another term. Though we are sort of stepchildren here, itis our earnest desire to be an asset to the school and. not a fifth wheel. During our stay we will be loyal suporters of onr temporary home and will cooperate to the best of our ability in every activity. Forty-one HISTORY? (AH YES) Last night I did my work in Art, And didn’t give my History a start, But today my Art teacher wasn’t here, Guess. Is it Art or History I fear? It should not take me long to decide, For today my History was suicide. — Bob Elker 4A =N NEN ‘ a hye PHYSICS CLASS Physics is the class I love, Not even History would rate above. You learn about everything from A to Z, And believe me folks that isn’t easy. You hear things bubble - you see things soar. When you’re in this room it all but roars. Motors clattering — engines turning, Watch out there, your dress is burning! You pour this in and pour that out, Watch that bowl. - don’t break that spout. Electrons floating everywhere. If the atom should split the room would be bare. -— Wanda Slowinski 4A ART CLASS Paper, pencils, paint and clay; Splashes of color bright and gay; Sull lifes, portraits, design repeats; Teacher saying “Stay in your seats”. Chatter continues, paint jar tips, Chair falls over, paper rips; Someone yells “Who took my brush?” Class bell rings; the usual rush. — Jean Mersfelder AA Forty-two ACT II SCENE L UMDERSTUDIES FRESHMEN CLASS OF JUNE-1949 x We, the freshman class of September 1945, came to Arts High full of pep as most fresh- men do and we are still going strong. Two of our peppy members, Ann Domenico and Phyllis Gans, are using their energy cheering for our basketball team, while Alex Fidalgo is one of its players. We are extremely proud of Janet Oliver, Lawrence Miloscio and Arthur Frielinghans, who play in the school orchestra, and Barbara Hughes, who is an accomplished pianist. The singers of our class, Jerry Lloyd and Phyllis Vellotti, are lending their talent to the school by singing in the choir. When you feel sad and gloomy, come to our room, and James Mahon, Anthony Paternoster and Louis Cubelo. the three clowns of the class, will send you out happy and gay. The hard workers of our class, Morris Bonita and Charles Maltes e. are kept very busy on the stage crew. On the intellectual side of our class, Marie Jablonski showed what freshmen can do by winning the silver medal in the spelling bee. Marie also is a very active Student Council mem- ber, besides Harry Manressa, Phyllis Gans, and Miriam Maier, our other representatives. The boy you see around the school with that sparkling personality, always ready with a “hello”, is Lawrence, who with Barbara Walker are the Vignette representatives of our class. I could go on and on, for practically everyone is engaged in some school activity, but | am limited to space and words. Before I end, however, I know we all wish to express our appreciation to the school and teachers, especially to Miss Emmett and Mrs. Meek, our homeroom teachers and Miss Kruck, our advisor, for the helpfulness and kindness they have shown us through this past elorious year and may God bless you departing g raduates. Forty-four JANUARY CLASS-1950 = It happened on February the first. That seventy-five freshmen through the doors did burst. On their very first day at Arts High School, They were really afire and did not fool. The students tried to play jokes on them, But the freshmen proved they were stalwart men. The school we like to the Nth degree. And we'll help to make it fine -— yes-siree. We want to adopt the ideals of Arts High, And through the years we'll try and try. Then when graduation rolls around, We'll remember the good times in Arts High we found, — Dominic Della V olle Forty-five Forty-six ACT Ul BEHIND THE FOOTLIGHTS CLUBS Carmen Lemongello . . . « % ©Coach to) Mike VBacliaferro) amiss ben ee Leer Jim Moran... .._ — Assistant Manager Dick«Guarichias 7.) tet) Gee ee Co piatn Joe Angelo Herbert Jene Mel Appel Tom Loucopoulos Phil Buckner John Maralakos Ferdinand Chinn Alex Fidalgo Joc ole Vern Forman Steve Starace Arthur Holmes Bill Windle BASKETBALL TEAM The 1945-46 basketball season proved to be our most successful in three years of effort. Not only did we rise to the heights of victory, but we produced three victories, including one city league victory, entered two players in the all star game, and one of the players, Mel Appel. made the third all-city-team, as picked by the Star Ledger. The green and the Gray, hardwood warriors showed enough improvement this year to beat East Side High - 31-29, when last year East Side handed us a 95-19 defeat. At this rate of improvement we should have a very successful season next year.
