Since the days ot the pioneers, the homely toil of the man who labors with his hands has been the glory oi America. We, too, have learned to build things with our hands. We, too, must devote our skill to the service of our country and to the casting ot our own lives in a straight and sturdy mould. Ot great value has been the education We have received here. To make it live in real and lasting achievement is now our problem and our privilege. To the school which has trained us so Well, and to whose hon- ored name We shall ever strive to bring credit, We affectionately dedicate this yearbook. RUBIN RICH, 8AVl - ' S DOJSSOJU Q. MR. J.

'-IVHREE LONG YEARS AGO, a group of lt took us a few days to find our way around the building and to learn all the tricks of the trade. Soon, however, we felt like old timers, and when we entered the fourth term, we were able to look down on the new comers from our superior heights. The engine work we encountered in fifth term seemed at first fairly simple. We hadn't realized how our appearance would suffer as a result of the grease. But speaking of appearance, we weren't allowed to forget it for a moment when we met Mr. Migge in the sixth tterm welding shop. Woe betide any of us who appeared without a tiel Our last summer vacation ended in a happy note, surprisingly enough, for our hopes of years were at length realized and we were returning as seniors. Seventh class history I I termers, it's true, but entitled to wear the buttons of our rank and feeling terribly sorry for ourselves when we weren't able to buy the huge ones because of the shortage of metal. This term, we again worked on fittings with varying degrees of success until finally lanuary thirtieth arrived and we reached the last milestone. Of course, at that stage of our careers, we felt that our diplomas were practically in our hands and that we could just sail along blithely, concentrating on the social rather than the scholastic aspects of life. What a rude awakeningl Probably never in our high school years did we work so hard. Theres no question now about our diplomas being hard earned. But it wasn't all grind and there were plenty of funny episodes to break the monotony. Oh, well, it's all but over nowl ln a few short weeks, we'll be taking our places in the world and, we hope, filling them compe- tently and happily because of our experi- ence and training at East New York. -.ii S DOJSSOJO Q. UST three short years ago, in September of '42, East New York was blessed with the arrival of the zaniest, wittiest and cleverest class ever to enter its portals. lt seems like yesterday that we first entered this mighty structure, where knowledge and contentment revolve like the ever-moving hands of a grandfather's clock. When we came, others went, and as we go, others will come to take our places. But we are content with the knowledge that we have left our mark. East New York will never forget us. Our championship teams, cheered on to victory by enthusiastic crowds of solid supporters, will always linger in the memory of those who knew us. Often did we taste defeat, but never were we humbled. Always we Came back fighting, and never for a moment did our opponents lack respect for us. Each term, our teams brought added glory to East New York. Our trophies in the hall showcases are proof of that. Scholastically we also led the pack. Never for an instant did we falter on the road to class history knowledge. No field was too vast to conquer, no task too difficult to perform. Our member- ship in the Honor Society is a shining exam- ple of our success in academic ways. Per- fection is their aim, and work is a joy rather than a burden. Of course, there were many times when school was pretty difficult and when the teachers seemed to get a bit out of hand, despite our best efforts to manage them. Homework and marks were their weapons, and they were experts with them. But, to be honest, we also remember the days when the teachers showed themselves to be pretty good guys. Those were the days when school was a joy and the hours flew by. But the hours turned into months and the months into years, and here we are, ready to leave. We all stand on the threshold of days more significant than school days can ever be. Nevertheless, we shall never forget our Alma Mater and everything that she signifies in our lives. The poet never said truer words than, Parting is such sweet sorrowl GERALD ROSENTHAL, 8El2 l group of brave young warriors, now known as SC set out to win the battle of a high school education. The roads we trudged were long, hard and wearying. Many of those who started with us fell along the way. They lacked weapons strong enough to last them to the end. We who still remain are proud for at last we can see our victory close at hand. Throughout our course, we had plenty of experience in our chosen field. When there was secretarial work to be done, SC was usually called upon. Many of the mimeo- graphed sheets used in class as well as no- tices and bulletins were prepared by our girls. But all was not school work. Our war ac- tivities went hand in hand with our scholas- tic pursuits. We like to feel that our special efforts in bond and stamp sales may help to bring victory closer. The SC girls worked in defense offices, in hospitals, at the C.D.V.O. and also took the places of more experienced workers who were drafted into service. 'We can remember, too, helping Miss Bellin plan and carry out an interesting bazaar, the proceeds of which went to the Allied 'War HN the year nineteen hundred forty-one, a Relief. class history dm! lt was during our four years that the lnter- cultural Committee of Teachers started its work in the school. This term it planned Brotherhood W'eek and Negro Week pro- grams. We are grateful that we had the opportunity of participating in these activi- ties before we left the school. ln our class, we are fortunate in having many talented girls, Ernestine Todd is the school Poet Laureate whose poems we have always enjoyed reading. ln addition, she was vice-president of the school during sixth term and did much for the girls. Mary Timm, our songbird, won first prize in a radio singing contest and is an outstanding member of the school Choral Club. Shirley Neidoff, with the aid of Lt. Dounn, was one of the first girls to start the cheering squad that has been so effective in cheering our boys on to victory in the games. The Davis Twins are the creators of many of the artistic posters on the third floor. Now, however, our task is done. Our troubles and fears lie behind us. Our goal has been reached. Proudly We stand, the SC Army at the climax of our struggle-gradu- ation-with the reward of a four year course, a high school diploma. ID ood SSI' FO C T LONG LAST our four years of high A school have come to an end. Regret- fully we, the dressmaking graduates of l945, look back upon those four years and wonder where they have fled, for those final years of school life are what we remember most. As we began our freshman year with the black clouds of war hovering overhead, when the tragic blow was dealt on Pearl Harbor, it was only natural for us to become interested in war work. We did our utmost to sell war bonds and stamps. We knitted afghans, did Red Cross work, aided scrap drives, sent packages overseas and even had ot pin-up contest for our favorite servicemen. ln our Power Operating class we made gar- ments for neighboring hospitals and clothing for the poor and war-torn refugees. This training helped us to make professional gar- ments and also taught us to be charitable, helpful and considerate of our fellow men. A glow of pride fills each member of our class whenever we hear references to the fashion show that took place during our sixth class history I term. We worked like busy bees to make it the success it was. Another memorable event was the Christ- mas party of our last year at East New York. Who in 8TD can ever forget it? The spirit that prevailed there was one which has been with us for four years and which we expect to take with us into the business world and into our almunae group. Many of our boys and girls learned to dance and became social successes through our efforts in starting a dancing club. Our requests for this club were granted this term, thanks to the teachers who so willingly gave their time after school. But now all these things are happy recol- lections for us. As we graduate we are proud to have received the finest education pos- sible and to have had the guidance and instruction of the best teachers. We have spent four pleasant years at East New York Vocational High School and our gratitude can be shown only by our living up to the ideals and training we have acquired here, 4 S GRADUATION NEARS and we are JAX about to go forth into a world at war, we pause to look back on our pleas- ant school days. Almost three years ago, when we first feasted our eyes upon East New York, we were awed at the sight of the various shops with their complicated ma- chines. Now, sophisticated seniors, with plenty of practical experience behind us, we are ready and eager to take our places in industry or the armed forces. lt seems such a short while ago that we were freshmen just out of junior high school walking through the halls of East New York when the bell rang for a change of periods. Little did we realize that instead of going to the third floor which was our destination, we would end up in the cafeteria. Seniors here, seniors there, seniors all aroundl lt looked as though they were trying to subjugate the poor unfortunate third term- ers, At first we tried to adapt ourselves to the idea that the seniors were lords and mas- ters. But gradually we became adjusted and able to take care of our rights. closs history A year passed quickly and we were in fifth term. Until then we had had rather vague ideas of homework but then things began to happen as though Stukas were diving all around dropping their bombs of destruction-homework in English, math, science, economicsl What had we done to deserve such a fate as this? Many of us, alas, spent part of the seventh term in Mr. Garity's office. Gee, what a won- derful man he is, so straight and tall with a dignified look. We can still feel his friendly hand on our shoulders and hear his llWhat have you done now? in a gruff but friendly tone. The eighth term which was going to be our paradise-in-the-sun now became a synonym for an obstacle course for Marines training for overseas duty. But soon graduation day will be here and the piece of paper for which we worked so hard will be in our possession representing the fulfillment of our dreams and ambitions. And East New York will be but a happy memory. 1 S DOJSSOJO Q. th ood SSI' FO C N that memorable day, September ll, l942, we walked slowly and tim- idly through the halls of East New York to start our new careers. We had high ideas of becoming machinists until Mr. Hil- gard's talk, and then many of us wondered if we were good enough to become plumb- ers. As we entered the portals of E. N. Y. that day, we marvelled at the beauty and grace of the building. A few days afterwards we tightened our belts as we sought to cone quer the gray, sinister machines, as well as Miss Gillespies War Vocabulary. What a thrill it was to turn in our first jobs -only to return to our benches dismayed by the first encounter with that famous and well-worn handbook, l-iilgards Bible! However, in spite of everything we suc- ceeded in mastering the early stages of thread cutting, tool bit grinding, etc. As our freshman year drew to a close, we worked in the intense heat of Old Sol, for it was against the well-known Code of Ethics to loosen a collar button, or tie. Then came the fifth and sixth terms. We breathed a little easier now, for we could not be looked down on as lowly freshies. We walked about with an air of self-conf? dence, as though the Battle of E. N. Y. were half won. Little did we dream that our greatest trials and tribulations lay before closs history us-tortures such as Mr. Schiffmans Chem- istry, and the Mechanical Laboratory. We were tempted to take a few days off and go on a spree to the Paramount, but thirst for knowledge invariably led us back to the straight and narrow. And so we plodded along, and with the work we had our mo- ments of joy. Can we ever forget the fun we had with the exuberant Mr. Seidler? These days will forever remain with us as a happy memory. Our Day finally arrived. With a rush to the G. O. store, we purchased our senior buttons, which signified our right to be the freshmen's terror. But during that brief and anxious wait for our cherished diplomas, we ourselves were terrorized by Mr. Wards terrible black squares. However, a change came over the class. We no longer delighted in paper aeronautics and other diversions, for trying times had struck. It was with sor- row and pride that we watched our friends leave one by one for the wars. We will long remember our Alma Mater, and its patient teachers who gave us light for the darkness of our ignorance. We will never forget our classmates who will be felf low comrades-in-arms, co-workers in the construction of a free, happy world, and fel- low citizens in its most wonderful country. Y N DEEP SILENCE we entered the hallowed H halls of East New York on that first Sep- tember day, happy at last, for our dreams were coming true. These were soon to be shattered by the Safety Test, that devil- ishly ingenious torturel Grueling hours dragged by, and then the bell for lunch, a cloud of dust from flying feet, and the long race down the hall to our final goal, the Cafeterial This set the pattern for weeks to come. Then came weeks filled with the mo- notony of drawing plans, but soon, as if by magic, our boats began to form. At this time we realized the tremendous opportuni- ties offered to us. We had plenty of wood and tools, and before long each boy had his own room pass. ln the fourth term, we prepared to build bigger and better boats. It was during this term that we completed the racing sailboat which for two weeks shared top billing with the auto chassis in the lobby. We also had our first experience at decking, which we did very well. Fifth term found us transferred to the ad- vanced shop where we started drawing plans which we completed just in time for class history I I the shift back to our old shop. Returned to the advanced shop in the sixth term, we laid out the plans for two sixteen-foot canoes which we were lucky enough to pass on to the next class. Some of us worked on the thirty-foot Cabin Cruiserg this gave us a chance to try our skill at cabinet-making. We made panels, hatches, bulkheads and bunks fthe less am- bitious got plenty of practice trying out the bunksll Seniors at lastl The first day at school found us all at the G. O. store. What for? Why, to buy senior buttons, of coursel Being seniors must have done something for us- we had lOOU'2, G. O. for the first time, and in addition, we more than doubled our War Bond quota. Our shop seemed enormous this term because of the absence of the cruiser. Work, work, workl For the first time in ages everyone worked, even the confirmed loafers. The green and orange and white strips on the efficiency chart must have done the trick. That is one of the things we'll never forget, along with Mr. Tritschler's im- mortal words, Who has my keys? and the ready reply, Look in your pocket. .-.ii S DOJSSOJO Q. V7 ood SST' FO -'C T LAST the moment to which we have Xbeen looking forward for the past four years has come. lt has been a long, hard struggle, but on this day of mem- ories we are all very happy because we have reached our goal. From the very first day of our freshman year we have grown physically and mentally, for we have had an excellent education. The Beauty Culture girls are proud to hold the title of Morale Builders. We have undertaken the important task of keeping women beautiful and of taking the places of those beauticians who have entered the service. ln other ways, too, we have not been idle or content to let the war take its own course. Our girls have participated in many drives for the Bed Cross, National War Eund, collection of clothing and scrap. We also have a group of blood donors. Years from now when we look back over our school days for memories of the past, many pleasant ones will flash before us. There will be the trip to Central Park to see the War Exhibit from which we learned much about the actual conditions of warfare and what situations our brothers and friends are meeting. Our fifth term English work included a Whos Who autobiography project which class history was most enjoyable and through which we were able to know more about our school- mates. ln the sixth term we learned more about our city by preparing an interesting booklet called Around New York with the 5-7-8 BC. This was presented to the library for the use of the students. We shall never forget our History of Hair Styles, a combined project of the English and history departments. lt required work on our part, but it was worth every second, for it inspired us to do more research and also better hair styling. Other highlights in our four years were our visit to the Pennsylvania Hotel to see the exhibit of hair styling sponsored by the Hair- dressers' Association, and the demonstra- tions of cold wave permanents, hair dyeing, and hair styling given in our school by well- known cosmetic firms. Last but not least, our graduate theater party on May l8, to see Dear Ruth will stand out in our memories. We have enjoyed every minute of our stay in East New York and will always look back upon it as the happiest four years of our lives. Because of the fine help received from the faculty, we feel we can take our places in the serious life of our large com- munity as patriotic and efficient citizens.

TZ 49 VI ood SSI' F0 C HllHlHl... man seeks a haven where, if but for a rapturous moment or two, his troubled mind, his weary body, and his unsatisfied soul may be at complete ease. ln this place of seclusion he mediates. Here, with undying courage and determination, he strives to perfect his environment, with a prayer that his God will prevent man's selfish will from adding further havoc to the world. Only in retreat can he find a haven. The retreat may be only a quiet bench in the park, but to its patronizer, it becomes a throne where the endless drama of life is brought before him. In his retreat he erects a barrier against time, he finds strength to believe in the ability of human nature, he cleanses himself of his egotistic greed, and he refreshes his mind with happy and pleas- and thoughts. In this realm truth prevails. With a body that is worth but little chemically, he yearns for a full, abundant life for himself and his fellow men, and he realizes the wealth his HN I-HS never-ending struggle with reality, 7 God and country offer. He delights in the goodness, beauty, and truths that are found everywhere. Spring to him is proof of a new world after a long gray winter. ln his re- treat, he discovers that little things make life understandable. And lastly, he possesses exuberant inward peace with his discovery that the only true point in the universe is God, and he pivots his life, dreams and ideals from that point. But he is not satisfied. He must generously abandon his haven for the reality of adding his contribution to the construction of a new world, for his soul cries out to weld what man's injustice has fractured, and until that is done he can have no rest. He launches his ideals gently, broadcast- ing them, until, fanned by his fellow man's approval, they are transformed into a gale and then into a tempest, sweeping with re- lentless fury, unyieldingly, until they have cleared a road of progress that will lead men to their goal. Philip Mancuso, 8MSl A soldier dreams when he's alone, Of sights and sounds and loves of home, Of laughing, singing, having fun, The happy little things he'd done. And now, so many miles away, The scenes crowd in, in bright array, Until all blend with a dazzling whirl, In the sweet smile of that one girl. A sudden noise-a deafning crash- Like thunder's roar and lightnings flash, A grim reality blasts his dream. ln the distance a rising scream Recalls those bitter words so well, lt tells in truth that War is Hell. His thoughts return now, more and more, To dwell on aims he's fighting for. The first to conquer fear and pain, Then live those dreams of home again. Michael Boccio, 8AVl X wxg X XX X N X x uw?

Eour yearsl lt seems such a short time, and yet here we are, ready to leave. As in old age, scenes of youth return. Memories of our freshman days rush upon us. . The Herkimer Street Annex was out of this world in every sense of those wordsl Each day we climbed those endless stair- ways to the third floor. Each day we groaned and grumbled. Each day we were pacified with the thoughts of the main building, for soon we would ride in elevators just as the seniors did Cso we were toldl. Why, some of us had already purchased our elevator passes in preparation for that day. Oh, but ignorance is bliss-and we were blistersl ln September, l942, we were transferred to the main building, and we felt suavely sophisticated when we replied that we were third termers to the inquiries of some elderly people. We have since learned that those people were the omnipotent seniors. December 7, l94l had come and gone, but so far the war had not yet seemed to touch us. The attack on Pearl Harbor, how- ever, had not only changed the course of events of our country but had also changed drastically the country's entire educational system. We took definite war courses to prepare us for the future. We were given Red Cross instructions in the art of First Aid. We ban- daged and splinted each other energeti- cally. We were also asked to participate in the pleasant bone-breaking Health Educa- tion activity, Commando Tactics. Then there was a Service Honor Roll placed in the lobby to remind us of the boys in the service who were fighting for us. We also felt the loss of many of our teachers to the services, but the vision of the safer and more secure world for which they were fight- ing helped to compensate for our loss. But life still had its light side. We consid- ered ourselves sharp in those days, With sloppy sweaters and dirty saddles we were right in there diggin' the jivef' But that was mild. Because then came the zoot suits. They were really something! Why, if your pants weren't pegged to l2 inches and your key chain didn't trip you every time you took a step you just weren't hep. The musical trend was one of the main factors that influenced our clothing fad. Benny Goodman came out with a really hot rendition of String of Pearls and soon that song had each and every female hep cat in town wearing a string of pearls and then - ah, love of the girls' lives - then came Erankiel And with him came the bow ties, bobby socks, All or Nothing at All, Sun- day, Monday and Always. Ahl Music was so sweetl As time went on we learned to become sales-resistant to the familiar appeals. For example, here it was the first day of school. No sooner were we seated and relaxed in those soft comfortable seats, than up popped the super-salesman. You heard, loin the G. O. or Wouldn't you like to go to the baseball game? lust think, a dime will do it. lt was not that we were lacking in school spirit, for there is no one among us who wouldn't do or die for dear old E. N. Y., but we were financially embarrassed. This was life at East New York. We shall miss the smells around the shop, the sgueaks and the booms of the band tuning up, and the teachers' constant Leave by the front door. We shall miss all the good times. Al- though we didn't suspect it at the time, even the hard work was fun. We never thought we'd see the day, but here it is, We're going to miss our old E. N. Y.l Carle I. Salley, 8Ell - ....
