N 1mmHHUml U llmMlJ Hall nf Zliamr ARTHUR WADLE R When the celebs were chosen, Artie was chosen as the Biggest Bluff. VVhen the faculty heard this they unanimously approved of the name given him for if ever there is a fellow who could bend a teacher's ears it was Artie. Tl13tJS how he earned the name, Biggest Bluff. Everybody knows Artie. He is a great fellow. He is a fine athlete, and an orator, and a scribe. It seems that there is nothing that Artie can not do well, especially when it means helping Textile. As captain of the swimming and waterpolo teams he worked to put these teams up among the leading high school contestants. He is the backbone of 'these teams and has starred in all the meets and games in which they have engaged. He was chosen Vice-President of our class and helped put over the many suc- cessful events that we had during our term. He was picked to represent Textile at the Inter-Scholastic Law League. Artie wanted to become a lawyer but changed his mind, and instead will become an op- tometrist. WVe suppose he wants to look at the world thru rose-colored glasses. He is also on the Loom Staff, Booster Squad, Service Squad, belongs to the History Law club, Menorah society, and is a G. O. representative. Here is a fellow who surely deserves to be placed in the Hall of Fame. SALLY D E GAN YVho is more fit for recognition in the Hall of Fame than our Athlete, Scholar and Regular Girl-Sally? She is making a four year course in two and one-half years. She has been an otlicer of her official class ever since her entry. She was elected as Vice-president of the Lilac Club the first meeting she attended. After being in Textile one year she was elected to the honorary society of every High School-the Arista. She became Treasurer of the Newman Club. However, this did not suit this ambitious girl and she climbed higher and became President, and was re-elected again this term as President. She is an active member of the Library Squad and is on the varsity baseball and basketball teams. In her senior year she was elected Lieu- tenant of the Service Squad. And we must not forget that she is 11ow the Coach of the 13th Street Swimming Club for girls. Wie were very proud to have her as our G. O. Comptroller and in recognition of all her services we are glad to select her as one of the member of the Hall of Fame. ffllllilllllllliilllllmllillilllllllllll lllllllllllllllll lmMlHM mMHHHmH mUHMHMmIHEmm!WlMm-ix l59l '

Hall nf Ellamv MILDRED MCGOWAN The class can be proud of Mildred McGowan, its most popular member. To write her history is to write the progress of the Co-operative Course in Textile High School. Mildred is the originator of the Oral English Club, which promoted public speaking. As she is an active member of the service squad, she has been elected second lieutenant. Mildred was president of her class in the third term, and vice- president in her seventh term. Her tact and spirit make her a very delightful Cor- responding Secretary of the General Organization. She is a member of the Boost- er Club and of the Co-operative Comrades. Her journalistic skill has made her a member of the Loom Staff. Mildred was the second highest honor student in her seventh term. Her reliability puts her first in the hearts of her fellow students. The students elected her G. O. Representative this term and have unanimously chosen her secretary of the Co-operative Social Club. She is well known for her keen sense of humor. If you hear a group of students exercising their vocal chords you may be sure that Mildred is among them. A real leader in time of stress is always respected. For this reason Mildred has been chosen Fire Marshall in in- numerable rooms. Every one respects a promoter. If there is an activity that must be started, you may be sure that the students of Twenty-eighth Street will call upon her to preside. lrVhen Mildred leaves, the student body will feel the loss of a faithful, reliable, and conscientious student. Her place will be hard to fill. MARY CAROLAN The name of Mary Carolan is indeed a familiar one at Twenty-eighth Street. Mary has been in Textile High School since her third term and has always been a prominent figure in the eyes of her fellow students. She has been class president three terms, vice-president once, secretary once, and G. O. representative once. This term she was the victorious candidate for Corresponding Secretary of the G. O. Mary was selected by her class as their representative on the Loom Staff. She is a member of various clubs, secretary of the Newman club, vice-president of the Co-operative Social club and an active member of the Lilac and Booster clubs. Mary also holds an important position on the Service Squad. She has been on the squad four terlns. This term she is second lieutenant. Through strenuous efforts, she organized the Co-operative Social club which proved to be an unusual success. She is the Textilian Reporter for the Twenty-eighth Street building. She is fam- ous for her very efficient social gatherings among the students. Mary never fails to gee that agood time is had by all. Mary is a model Textilite for she not only upholds the name of Textile in school but also at work. R. H. Macy regards her as a valuable asset and she is just as popular there as in school. The Twenty-eighth Street Annex is losing a very good student when Mary Carolan says l1cr farewell to dear old Textile. D W mml m! .lHMIll MHm LX l58l

Nm-l l D HUmWlUlmmUHmmmmMIl UU mm mUWmMlmHIlHMwIIl ' 3 5 E tial! nf Hams ALDO MANCUSO Colorful posters decorate the walls of the Fortieth Street Building. Most of them are the work of Aldo Maneuso, one of the best commercial art students in that annex. He has won several medals for his contributions to contests. His brilliance in that line led to his obtaining a scholarship given to those who are deserving. What is true of some who are talented artists is not true of Aldo. He does not neglect his other studies to follow that which interests him most. Besides being admired for his artistic ability he is popular among his class- mates. His quiet, independent manner has won their respect. Because he is al- ways ready to help them, he is well-liked among his friends. W'ithout a doubt the world will some day recognize the genius of Aldo Man- cuso and will praise him as the puplis and teachers of Textile have done. LILLIAN PIVKO In what more fitting way could the Class show their appreciation of Lillian's service to them and to their school than by electing her to the Hall of Fame? All of the following give ample proof that she well deserves such an honor. Lillian has been an officer of her class ever since she entered Textile, finishing her career with a grand finale by becoming the President of the Class. Lillian is a member of the Lilac and Chrysalis Clubs and is one of those who have contributed a large amount of work to make these clubs so successful. And, also, one must not forget that Lillian is an active member of the Service, Lunch, and Office Squads. Our honor society, Arista, was proud to admit Lillian to membership in her sixth term. Now you all know why Lillian rightly deserves this last honor--and don't you all agree with us? WANDA ANDRUK The Twenty-eighth Street Annex is very proud of its seniors this term, and especially of WVanda Andruk. Wanda did not start her high school career in Tex- tile, much to our regret, but she is completing her education in the Cooperative Course of this school. lfVanda has made a success of everything she has ever started. Under great difficulties she organized the Cooperative Comrades Club, the social club of the Annex. As a speaker she is unrivaled. VVanda is and has been an honor student throughout her career in high school.. She is a member of the Booster, Dra- matic, Cooperative Social, and Cooperative Com1'ades Clubs. In Wanda we have a girl of sterling character, reliability, responsibility, and fine school spirit. Add to these qualities a charming voice and you have YVanda. On Monday no one is ab- sent from his English class as each is eager to hear her pleasing voice. Let me tell you that she has an enthusiastic audience. lrVanda is leaving us but we know that wherever she goes she will boost Textile.
