Page 12 Dressmaking Design Athena, if she had a flair for fashion, began her career in theSophomore year where her time was devoted to working on infant clothing and the perfecting of hand button holes and straight hemming. During Christmas the many orders for red flannel stockings, gaily decorated, kept her nimble fingers busy. As a Junior, a smock and a kit of tools created a professional appearance in her classroom. Her ideas on fashion were stimulated in patternmaking, textiles, and art classes, where she designed original creations. In Athena's Senior year, there was the thrill of filling custom-made orders and working on her own fittings for outside customers. She took field trips to Fashion-o-rama at the New York Coliseum and to the Japanese Art Show of Fabrics. If she showed special aptitude, she was taught draping of material. As a last project, she completed an outfit for herself, which demonstrated her workmanship and skill attained over the past three years. — EM 35 North Ninth Street, Newark Safety Com 3; Glee Club 3,4; Homeroom Treas Rosie with her bashful smile the queen of Loew's aisle the gal that goes lor Johnnie Ray in à big way. wonderful sport a friend to all, and enemy to none you can count on Rosie when there's work to be done — Book m 13% President Street, East Newark Homeroom Sec. 2,3,4; Glee Club: Safety Com. 4; Senior Rep ; Yearbook Staff Cute and sweet, quite petite classroom clown all year round with her personality plus, to get ahead is a must always smiling, always gay that’s our Annie in every way “That's beside the point 5 Marie e e e.

Therefore, she selected Business Machines as her career. Learning the typewriter's keyboard and practicing those endless adding drills in Room 218 kept her fingers busy. In her bookkeeping class, the debits and credits sometimes found themselves in the wrong columns and this proved to be disastrous. But keeping her goal in mind, Athena continued to strive for accuracy and skill. When she became a Junior, she discussed and solved many interesting cases in Business Law. She could always be seen at the Comptometer, with pencil in hand, asking Where does the decimal point go? Her typewriting skill became more useful when she transcribed from the Ediphone and Dictaphone machines. As the year ended, the prospect of becoming a Senior thrilled her. In Athena's last year she completed invoices on the big, big 7200. Many homeroom periods were extended after 8:45 as Mr. C. passed on much sound advice. When Athena went on her first interview, she was a confident, skilled, matured worker—an asset to the business world.

Waiting on the teachers in the Tearoom was her first introduction into this field. With practice, she learned to set formal as well as buffet tables for school activities. Her department, during holíday seasons, was flooded with orders for cooked food and fancy pastries and cakes. Athena not only discovered the art of cooking, but studied dining room management and selected and planned layouts for equipment.

She could be proud of the magazine layouts, the fashion designs, the brochures, and the sample lettering she had done. She had been + encouraged to display her talent in the National Scholastic Magazine Commercial contest and the Howard Savings Bank poster contest, coming out as a winner every time. Because of her imagination and palette, our Christmas stage set, our yearbook, and our Junior. Prom were always regarded as artistic F accomplishments that brightened the school year.

From Sophomore to Senior year, she was in a technical whirl with Blueprints, Industrial Organization, and Mathematical Equations. At first, her Gregg shorthand resembled hieroglyphics, and the simplest of blueprints perplexed her. Those forty-two typewriter keys had to be mastered, for she soon realized that no employer would sign a letter with a typographical error. Midway in her course, Athena typed at 50 wpm and transcribed from her own shorthand notes. The technical vocabulary of the engineer was no longer strange to her. During her Senior year, Athena took steno at 100-1 10-120—the faster she wrote, the faster she turned pages. In Room 224, she sat in the dark many periods viewing films, unfortunatly not starring Rock Hudson. She learned much about mining, melting, and molding metals and typed informative notebooks from this material. Her educational background was now ready to be put to use, and Athena entered the modern business world hoping to achieve the ultimate title of Girl Friday.

When she worked on a model head, she found to her amazement that straight hair became bushy and vice versa. Her constant companion was her black kit, which she would be lost without. Burnt fingers from marcelling and bleeding cuticles from manicuring always left Athena with a finger in a cast. She looked quite professional as a Junior when she restyled her page boy and pony tail into a smart coiffure, and when she donned a white uniform and matching shoes. This was the year of many rinses, experimentation, startling hair shades, and messy henna packs. Athena could always be overheard asking, Haircut, anyone? In the Senior year, she improved others as well as herself. She learned about cosmetics and stage make-up. After struggling through cold wave practice and giving t-w-e-l-v-e permanents, she passed her State Board Examination and entered the world of her choice. II. Ma = = uw.

When they arrived at school, their eyes beheld a scene long to be remembered—for what had been that afternoon a gymnasium was now transformed into an exotic Chinese Garden. The atmosphere of the Orient was felt by every couple when they passed under the pagoda on to the dance floor. The girls looked lovely in their beautiful gowns as they glided by in the arms of their very handsome escorts. The soft lights and Chinese lanterns lent a shadowy and romantice glow to an already beautiful setting. We thank you Mrs. Luckert, Miss Reilly, the custodians, and the art girls for making such a beautiful Prom possible.

Our class spent a day at this parliament of the world where policies are formed and solu- tions found to international problems. As we entered the General Assembly, everyone noticed the abstract murals painted in vibrant colors on both sides of the walls and the horseshoe ar- rangement for the seating of the delegates. As our day progressed, we were guided to the Security Council, whose primary responsibility is maintaining the peace; and then on to the Trusteeship Council, where dependent peoples strive toward self-government. At the end of our morning tour, we went to the Economic and Social Council. It is their task to further human rights and fundamental freedoms. The unfin- One World ished ceiling in this council room symbolizes that their work is never done. We were privileged to dine in the Delegates' Dining Room overlooking the East River. With a few minutes to spare alter lunch, we browsed in the gift shop and sent post cards home direct from the United Nation's Post Office. Some of the girls succeeded in obtaining autographs written in foreign languages from the delegates. Many of these delegates, in their native dress, added a fascinating touch to the activity around us. In the afternoon we attended meetings where the members spoke in different languages. hence earphones were attached to our seats and we could dial to the language of our choice. As we departed, with one impression crowd- ing out another in our minds, we knew that the trip had been meaningful and the day exciting. V Y, sh un glon A o S, Wednesday, May 7 Lv.

She wore a white, crisp uniform in Beauty Culture, a smock in Art and Dressmaking, and trim tailored outfits in the Business Trades. She was excited at the prospect of entering the Driver Education course and was found studying from the manual for that all-important written driver's test. Her chance to participate in Glee Club and become part of the Christmas and Easter programs made her feel important. When she obtained her school ring, it symbolized her becoming an upperclassman. As a fitting climax to this Junior year, Athena anticipated the coming of her first formal dance. This, indeed, was the highlight of her Wide Wide World. c 1 (? v nica onda ry Bottom row, left to right: Barbara Kalinow ski, Diana Lapomo, Phyllis Pellegrino, Josephine Casale, Ann Machiell.

Wal What course to choose? Undecided? Yes, these were questions Athena had to answer before she became a full-fledged Sophomore. Never before did she have to make such an important decision, which would influence her whole future. Did she want to type and take stenography—operate calculating machines—create new hair styles—prepare and serve delicious meals—sew beautiful clothes—or illustrate and design with brush and palette? She conferred with her guidance counselor, her parents, and herself before making her final choice. This was the year of basic training. It provided the background for her chosen profession. If she was successful, with determination and hard work, Athena would continue forward knowing she had made the right decision.

But by the time October's Halloween Dance arrived, she was quite adjusted to her new surroundings and was eagerly anticipating this school dance. During her important homeroom periods, Athena learned about business grooming, how to study, and the importance of being a good school citizen. Yes, this was the year that opened a new world to Athena. THOMAS BIGLIN ELEANOR DEARNALEY ALBERTA JORDAN Mathematics Washington Trip Chaperone English-Comm.

Left to right Joan I ipscomb, Judith Bevere, Adolph Stanziale, and Theresa Alessio Pas 25, It is during the Junior and Senior years that the girls learn to drive. In the classroom they learn the funda- mentals of how and why a car functions. This theory is then applied when they become eligible for behind the wheel driving. Under the expert guidance of our driving instructor Mr. Stanziale, the girls soon learn to relax and gain con fidence. Because of this training and excellent safe driv- ing rec ord, each year more and more girls obtain their permanent license upon graduation.
