Art prepared for Princeton at Bogata H.S., in Maywood, N.J., where he played in the school orchestra and the band, which was all-state. He was also in the National Honor Society. Before matriculating at Princeton, Art spent 1944-46 as a private first class in the Army.

Art's interests over the years included the Boy Scouts, the Lions Club, and Masonic organizations, as well as bowling, golf, stamp collecting, and photography.

Surviving are his wife, Sally, his daughters, Janet Yanushefski, Diane McFalls, and Linda L. Lee, and his son, Ken, to whom the class extends its deepest sympathies.
