Greetings to the graduating Class of 1960. As the end of your last year in our High School arrives, you may be looking into the future with some trepidation. This is quite natural and yet very unnecessary. This is a country of expanding opportunities, and you can lift yourselves up by your very boot- straps if you so desire. You cannot, of course, do this by wishful thinking but by the amount of ambition you have. Never stop learning-be curious. Make up your mind that you will be successful in Whatever you attempt. You will get out of life just what you put into it. You can lose all of your possessions except your most precious one, your character. This you can lose in one way only, by being careless in tl1e manner in which you spend your life. It takes years to mold it, and yet it can be lost in one thoughtless moment. Raise your sights and think big. Take your neighbor,s hand if he needs help. Try to live by the Golden Rule. Keep your faith in God, and the entire world can be yours. On behalf of the members of the Board of Education I wish to extend our sincere con- gratulations and best wishes for a fruitful and happy life. HAROLD V. P. DONNELLY President, East Rutherford Board of Education LEFT TO RIGHT: August De Biase, George Perry, Lawrence Obenhuber, Vice-President, Samson Ferraro, Henry Hensch, Secretary to the Board, Harold Donnelly, President, Fred Minutolo, john Van de Vclde, joseph Schanel, joseph Zanca, Alfred Faust, Super- intendent of Schools.. ,.

This farewell token of the depart- ing seniors is figuratively their footprints during the four years spent in East Rutherford High School. These treasured memoirs serve as a fond nostalgia to them of close friendships and carefree days. Their records contained herein shall be also an inspiration to those who follow. May the future hold many rewards for this class of 1960, yet pre- sent challenges which will develop strong charac- ters and nurture good motives. DR. ALFRED S. FAUST Superintendent of Schools 12

Four years ago, a very momentous decision was made by you in the selection of your high school course. In the ensuing years more responsibilities, challenges, and decisions, though apparently insurmountable then, were taken by you and have been successfully re- solved. Now you are not so much finishing school as commencing a broader field of activity, at liberty to make your own way in the world, with the tools acquired in school, to unlock the door of the future. VVhat brings one man success in life and another only mediocrity or failure? It is evident that some succeed because they are willing to pay the price of success, which is usually heavy. And the price is first, to have the courage to face the problem at handg second, to have the de- termination to accomplish your plan, and third, let no circumstances defeat your pur- pose. Are you willing to pay the price? I take this opportunity to extend to every- one my best wishes for happiness and suc- cess in the future. GEORGE L. DIERWECHTER Principal HARRY JOHNSON Guidance Director GEORGE DIERWEGHTER Principal ADMINISTRATION May I extend my best wishes to each mem- ber of the 1960 graduating class for your continued success and happiness. I am sure the past four years have been pleasant years you will never forget. You have worked to attain this goal. You have received a founda- tion for your future as a result of your partici- pation in the entire school program. Many of you will continue with some form of educationg others will gain experience by working in various vocations. It is always im- portant for you to put forth your greatest effort in whatever endeavor you may follow. Success can then be yours. CLAYTON HITCHNER Vice-Principal CLAYTON HITCHNER Vice-Principal
