Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1960 volume:

The beautiful main entrance of the high school with the roller-coaster canopy is a welcome sight to its visitors and students. ADMINISTRATION Page 10 ACTIVITIES Page 44 r.. ■ ' - .- v-y; Sti fV ' v . t ADVE SPORTS iMSM An aerial view of the Garden State Plaza in Paramus reveals the large parking area for the numerous stores. At the left in the fore¬ ground is the “clover- leaf” intersection of routes 4 and 17. The Borough Hall of Paramus, located south of Century Road on Route 17, is the headquarters for many Paramus activities. A deep woods, belonging to the Borough, stands behind the Hall. Meetings and official’s offices are housed in the building. To the citizens of Paramus we present this edition of the Delphian. We do this in appreciation of their un¬ selfish efforts to fulfill the dream of a high school that would assure its students a superior education. They have formed citizens’ groups which helped to plan the school plant, the curriculum, and many other facets of school life. They have provided a superior physical plant and salaries which are geared to attract a qualified and ad¬ mirable faculty. They have supported all of our activities in the school’s three years of existence, including plays, the Parent Council, and athletic events. It is to the citizens of Paramus, who have given of themselves so that we could have an outstanding high school, that we dedicate this, our first yearbook: the Delphian. Paramus residents are often called upon to make important decisions. This picture shows several of them identifying themselves to voting offi¬ cials at a recent municipal election. Paramus residents have been generous in school bond issues, and backed the High School bond with a 21-1 ratio. — Christmas time is the busy season for merchants as the crowds here indicate. The Bergen Mall is one of the giant shopping centers located in Paramus. The PHS chorus annually presents a Christmas pro¬ gram for one evening here in front of the main entrance. Most of the Paramus residents live in developments similar to the one shown above. Running down from the Farview Avenue ridge, this street con¬ nects with others as part of the resi¬ dential network of streets. Three main thruways cut Paramus, and make it the center of the county. Pictured above is a car speeding south on the Garden State Parkway, which crosses Routes 4 and 17 a few miles south. Also shown is the county hos¬ pital, Bergen Pines, one of the many county buildings in this part of Paramus. Memorial School is the first of the six modern schools built in Paramus since 1950. Most of the high school’s students went to Memorial for sev¬ enth and eighth grade. Shown above is the main entrance, with the rare Japanese tree on the left, the new gymnasium-auditorium, and the li¬ brary. Complete privacy is off( d «he voters in automatic machines used fy Waramus. HereJ� citizens lined up ready to cast meir ballots. Ttfpfe left of the machine is a policeman, to the rignT is an election official, and coming out of the booth ks one of the thousands of registered voters of Paramus. Two of the many men who worked on the high school are pictured above grading the land outside the gymnasium and team room so that grass could be planted there. This picture was taken shortly before the school opened in September, 1957. Looking out one of the many entrances of the high school, our photographer caught these two men in action, while work¬ ing to complete the building. In this picture, the floors and landscaping had not been com¬ pleted. but the main part of the building was up. Through all weather, the con¬ struction crew worked feverishly to finish the high school in time for opening day. These two men are going over plans in room 213, which looks out on the Student Commons area of the 300 Corridor. Genesis: from To understand Paramus High School, one must first understand how it was created. And so, in this first yearbook of the school, we will review the needs of the community, the planning of the school, and the construction right up to the first day. We hope these next pages will give you insight into the things which make PHS what it is: a bustling, enthusiastic, ever-changing, ever- improving community. 6 This scene of a public meeting, so often attended by many townspeople, was taken during the con¬ struction of the high school, when Mr. Frank Glowaski was president of the Board of Education. Since then the Board members have changed, but their objective of fine schools has not. An important occasion in the history of Paramus High School is shown below. Mr. Frank Glowaski, then presi¬ dent of the Board, is depicted putting the cornerstone into place. It can be seen outside the Century Road en¬ trance of the school. Idea to Reality Paramus, a suburban community, only nine miles from the George Washington Bridge and Manhattan subways, mush¬ roomed in population during the five years before the school was built. Its school population grew enormously, and soon Ridgewood and Hackensack gave notice that they could no longer accept Paramus high school students. In a grand display of cooperation, the citizens of Paramus voted to build a high school to meet the needs of the future as well as the present. The Board of Education went to work immediately, and with the help of citizens’ committees, they planned the Paramus High School. A student commons, a unique music-drama suite, a student store, and classrooms designed to fit the needs of each subject were among the firsts planned by Licht and Johnson, architects. Carefully, but rapidly, they finished plans for the new school. Workmen here are busy painting, sawing, and nailing in the commons between the gyms and the 500 corridor. This commons includes a garden and sitting area for students to chat in the open air. The End of the The breaking-of-ground ceremonies oc¬ curred on August 25, 1956. Soon after the land was cleared, the first brick was put in place, and the first classrooms took shape. Soon after, where a year before woods and fields tranquilly existed, our high school emerged. It was a school built in record time : only slightly more than one year. i ML. Most of Paramus High’s students are transported to school by bus. Shown at left are many eager faces ready to start school on that momentous first day in September, 1957. On September 12, 1957, Paramus High School opened its doors. The first students expectantly crossed the threshold. At 8:45 that morning, the first high school classes ever held in Paramus started. From that point on, our yearbook tells the story of Paramus High. It tells of the administra¬ tion, the faculty and curriculum, the activities, the athletics, and the students. But most of all, it tells of a community of over one thousand students working together to create better citizens. Mrs. Jean Mory, eighth grade teacher, is quite surprised to see our photog¬ rapher taking a peek at the teachers picking up notices and mail in the main office on the first day of school. Mr. William V. Dunn, principal, finds time to welcome students on the first day of school. At the extreme right is Mr. Otto Berchtold, who owns the bus company which transports so many pupils to and from school. With a satisfied smile, Greg Harrison inspects one of the then unfinished shops of Paramus High School. Greg was the first student to enter the school on the first day, and was ap¬ parently pleased with what he saw. 9 . ADMINISTRATION Board of Education Shown above is the Board of Education with those who were members at the time this yearbook went to press. These dedicated Paramus residents have given many hours of their time to aid in solving the problems of the school system. From left to right are Dr. Wesley E. Rogler, Mr. Paul W. Muller, Mr. George W. Hodgins (Superintendent), Mr. Wesley Van Pelt (secretary), Mr. Charles E. Reid (president), Mr. Rowland E. Curley (vice- president), Mrs. Gloria Warshaw, Mr. Harold Friedman, Mr. Reuben Samuels, and Mr. Thomas Emma. Mr. William Pryor is missing from the picture. The concept of today’s Paramus High School was first conceived in the minds of a past Board of Education. The members of that group realized the need for an institution of secondary learning that would fulfill the individual needs of students and encourage development to capacity. Al¬ though the citizens on the Board of Education have changed, the ideals and goals have not. Today, the board is con¬ stantly striving to extend the original aims. The leader¬ ship comes from the president and vice-president of the board, and they are assisted by the Secretary to the Board, the Superintendent of Schools, and the Curriculum Co¬ ordinator. Among the seven women in the Board of Education and Superintendents office are Mrs. Nellie MacDonald, office assistant, Mrs. Suzanne Ward, secretary to Mr. Van Pelt, and Mrs. Grace Watson, switchboard operator and receptionist. Mrs. Jeanne Frost, secretary to Mr. Hodgins, is typing a report while Mrs. Anne Raubold, secretary to Mr. Webster, leafs through a file. Mrs. Katherine Schirmer and Mrs. Thelma Hards arrive for work early in the morning. They make their entrance by the Board of Education Office. Both are office assistants and bookkeepers in the Board and Superintendent ' s office. 12 Mr. Lincoln Koenig Mr. Lincoln Koenig, as Director of Main¬ tenance of the Paramus Public School System, maintains headquarters at the Board of Education office in the high school. He is in charge of all school buildings and property, and has been in this capacity since 1953. From 1946 until that time he was a custodian in the school system. The Hodgins family is seen here at home in the evening. From left to right are Elizabeth, Janis, George Jr., Mrs. Hodgins, and Mr. Hodgins. Mr. George W. Hodgins This spring marks Mr. George W. Hodgins’ tenth year as Superintendent of Schools of Paramus. In this decade Mr. Hodgins has been a major influence in the growth of the system from two small rural schools to a large suburban system of seven elementary schools, a new, modern high school, and a junior high which is sched¬ uled to open this fall. He has given us the vision to see the future, the enthusiasm to do the job, the sense of humor which helped us to keep our long range view, and the intelligent and capable leadership which has brought Paramus where it is now. Mr. Hodgins has been in the school system since 1931. He was first a principal-teacher at Farview; then he became principal of Farview, and then rose to his pres¬ ent position as superintendent. Known by students, teachers, and administrators alike, Mr. Hodgins is the keystone to our modern, progressive, Paramus education. Mr. Richard Webster Mr. Richard A. Webster, as Assistant Su¬ perintendent of Schools, is responsible for student transportation, and for the publication of the Board of Education Newsletter. He is also a general assistant to Mr. Hodgins, and he is the head of the adult school. He has been in this post for the last two years, after coaching at Ridgefield Park. Mr. Wesley Van Pelt Mr. Wesley Van Pelt is the Secretary to the Board of Education and Business Manager of the Paramus Schools. He was appointed to the former post in 1956, and to the latter this autumn. A Paramus resident, Mr. Van Pelt was a member of the Board of Education before his pres¬ ent job. Mr. Richard Desmond Mr. Richard S. Desmond, whose office is now at Memorial School, is the Cur¬ riculum Coordinator of the sch ool system. He unifies the curriculum, cutting out repetition. This Teaneck resident came to Paramus three years ago and was made Assistant Superintendent. The next Sep¬ tember he changed to his present job. 13 Mr William V. Dunn Newark, New Jersey was the birthplace of our esteemed principal, Mr. William V. Dunn. He graduated from Mont¬ clair State College with a B.S. degree in education, majoring in math and minoring in science. He earned an M.A. in education there, in the field of secondary school administra¬ tion and supervision. At N.Y.U. he completed the require¬ ments for certification in administration and supervision on the elementary school level. At present he is working toward his Ed. D. in administration and supervision at Rutgers. Following graduation from Montclair, Mr. Dunn taught in the Ridgefield and Hackensack schools for fifteen years. Ten years ago he came to Paramus, where he became prin¬ cipal at Farview, and then Memorial School. Four years ago he became high school principal. Music and sports have been two of Mr. Dunn’s main interests. He has been responsible for establishing instru¬ mental music programs in all of the schools in which he taught. He was the first secretary of the Paramus Recrea¬ tion Commission. While he worked with that group he organized the summer playground program. Mr. Dunn has worked to better the community in other w ' ays. He was chairman of the committee which organized a public library. At this time he is chairman of a group that is attempting to establish a family counseling service in Paramus. Mr. Dunn is seen here with his wife and five sons. From left to right are Michael, Mrs. Dunn and Mr. Dunn. Standing are Andrew, Larry, Robert, and Thomas. Bobo, the dog, perked up obligingly at the right time. 14 Mr. Elso Chiocca Mr. Elso Chiocca, our competent vice-principal, joined our high school administrative department three years ago when the school opened. He was the head of the science department at Emerson High School in Union City before coming to Paramus. Mr. Chiocca is primarily concerned with the scheduling of classes. His other duties include submitting a budget, anticipating High School costs to the Board of Education and taking charge of discipline for boys. Miss Margaret Pfund Miss Margaret Pfund, after teaching physical education at PHS for two years, joined the administrative staff last year as assistant- principal. She taught gym at Teaneck before she came to Paramus. Miss Pfund ' s duties include supervising the activity program, handling all school publicity, and keeping attendance records. She also is in charge of discipline for PHS girls. Secretaries Mrs. Ida Cleary, seated, is consulting with Mrs. Lee Dorn in this picture. Mrs. Cleary is secretary to the principal. Mrs. Dorn is the receptionist-clerk. PHS students know from experience that they can expect friendly and helpful treatment from any of the high school office employees. Time out for a coffee break! Mrs. Lee Hoffman and Mrs. Doris Woardell chat during a rest from a busy day ' s work in the high school office. Mrs. Hoffman is secretary to the vice-principal. Mrs. Woardell is the school treasurer-clerk and switchboard op¬ erator. Mrs. Victor Komow, president at the time of presentation, is seen handing a copy of the Para- mus High School booklet, which was prepared by PSSA, to Mr. Dunn, principal. Looking on are Mrs. Walter Wittman (left), research chairman, and Mrs. Arnold Romney, president. Public Schools Service Association The Public Schools Service Association of Paramus is one of the vital groups which made PHS what it is today. It has about 150 members working to help the school system and the Board of Education. The aims of the Association are to stimulate public interest in school problems, to con¬ duct surveys for facts and figures, and to prepare studies and recommendations for the schools and for the public. It is non¬ profit, non-sectarian, and non-political. It was organized in 1953, and since then has worked closely with the National Citi¬ zens Commission for the Public Schools. The Association has, to date, prepared 22 research reports, many of which directly concern the high school. The reports deal with curriculum, building plans, guidance, and social activities. The brochure describ¬ ing PHS which is sent to colleges was pre¬ pared by PSSA. Mr. Dunn, standing, is seen here leading discus¬ sion at a Parents’ Council meeting in the teachers’ cafeteria in November, 1959. Parents Council The Parents’ Council of Paramus High School is a group which advises the school administration on matters directly concerning parents of high school students. It meets monthly in the high school with Mr. Dunn, our principal. The council consists of one representative elected by the parents in each homeroom. The representatives are chosen on Parents’ Night, when each parent is invited to come to the high school, and follow his child’s schedule. The council advises the administration in such areas as parent programs and social activities. The English Panel, a discussion held for parents by the English Department, was one of the Council’s activities. The group was formu¬ lated in the autumn of 1958. Guidance Department The Guidance Department consists of a director and three coun¬ selors; each of these people is counselor for one class. Among the problems which the guidance department so adroitly handles are curriculum choice, part time employment, post high school educa¬ tion, and occupational guidance. In the eighth grade, the guidance department begins its job of helping students in their selection of courses. Aptitude and interest tests are given to aid in decision, but final choice is always made by the student. The high school curriculum is flexible and can be adapted to any student’s needs. At the end of the freshman, sopho¬ more, and junior year, the department again assists students in this important decision. Much of the time of the senior and junior counselors is devoted to guiding the students in selecting institutions of higher learning which they will attend after high school. The guidance department arranges many college and career conferences for interested students, at which representatives from all parts of the country speak. The counselors also visit various colleges in order to better equip them¬ selves to advise students about these colleges. For those not going on to higher education, the guidance depart¬ ment schedules many speakers who describe occupations for students. Field trips can often be made to the place of work, so that students are able to obtain a true understanding of an occupation. Other services of the department are the completing of permanent records for colleges, working with the psychology staff on personal problems, and being of general assistance to students. Miss Elizabeth Freeman Miss Elizabeth Freeman, as Guidance Director of Paramus High, has been instrumental in forming the curriculum and philosophy of the school. As shown above with Luule Nil- berg, Miss Freeman spends endless hours aiding students. She came to Paramus when there were only two schools here, and has watched the system grow to the present eight. Miss Freeman takes pride in knowing most of the 1100 stu¬ dents who attend PHS. and very few will forget her wonder¬ ful work. Mr. Paul R. De Francis, our freshman guidance counselor, attended Ohio State Univer¬ sity and N.Y.U. He received a B S. in education and an M.A. in guidance. Mr. De Francis joined the PHS guidance de¬ partment last September. Miss Florence Dutcher is the sophomore class guidance coun¬ selor. This alumna of Panzer College and Columbia Univer¬ sity came to PHS two years ago and is a staunch supporter of all PHS activities. Mr. Robert B. Pollack, formerly a biology teacher in our high school, is the junior class guid¬ ance counselor. He attended Temple and New York Univer¬ sities, receiving B.S. and M S. degrees. He sponsors the Coif Club and the Student Employ¬ ment Program. Mrs. Gabe Ciannantonio and Mrs. Angelo LaRose, work in the guidance office. Their competency as secretaries and active inter¬ est in the students add to the warm atmosphere of the office. Mrs. LaRose also senes as secretary to the librarian. Mrs. Ilse Schmidt is kept busy every day in the dishwashing room of the cafe¬ teria. She is shown here lifting a tray of silverware which has just come out of the washing machine. To her right is Phil Gambuti, one of the boys who work in the cafeteria during part of their lunch hour. Mrs. Ruth Herschi, Mrs. Muriel Fagerstein, and Mr. Henry Knieps are shown above preparing lunch for the students who will start queueing up in a few minutes. Mr. Knieps is a professional baker and is famous at PHS for his cakes and pies. ■ 1 Cafeteria Paramus High is fortunate to have a well-run cafeteria serving students a mid-day lunch. A regu¬ lar hot lunch is offered, in addition to a la carte selections and sandwiches. At a different stand ice cream and milk are sold separately. The program is government subsidized, and the prices are, therefore, well within the price range of the students. The staff consists of a cafeteria man¬ ager, chefs, servers, and cashiers. A person in the dish-washing room is aided by a squad of boys, who work in twenty-minute shifts, and receive their lunch in compensation. The cafeteria also serves many large meetings and conferences. Mrs. Sylvia Schiff From left to right are Mrs. Evelyn Hatch, Mrs. Wanda Bialecki, Mrs. Winifred Marshall. Mrs. Martha Trice, Mrs. Katherine Milazzo. and Mrs. Kuni Klink, all workers in the cafeteria. This crew prepares and serves hot lunch to the PHS students. Mrs. Schiff, our dietitian manages all cafeteria opera¬ tions. Her job entails many responsibilities, some of which are buying food, planning menus, supervising the kitchen staff, determin¬ ing food cost and preparing a properly balanced nutri¬ tional lunch. Mrs. Schiff has taken ex¬ tensive night school courses involving eight years of schooling. She has had pre¬ vious experience as executive dietitian for eighteen years in New York, Washington, and Miami. Maintenance The two high school matrons, Mrs. M. Vreeland and Mrs. P. Wright, are performing one of their many duties. With a school of over one thousand stu¬ dents, they are kept busy every day. The large custodial staff of Paramus High School, consisting of two matrons and twelve cus¬ todians, is known for its efficiency and friendliness. In addition to the ordinary duties of janitors, the staff maintains the 34-acre campus and continu¬ ally improves the landscaping with trees and bushes. The large number of extra-curricular activities and events in the classrooms, gymnasium, cafe¬ teria, and auditorium, occurring after school, evenings, and on weekends, necessitates a staff on duty almost all the time. Paramus High students appreciate the enormous job which the custodial staff does so excellently. Mr. Arie Hayunga Mr. Hayunga is the well- liked head of our mainte¬ nance staff. He and his asso¬ ciates are responsible for the attractiveness of both the interior and exterior of our school. The efficiency of the maintenance staff is a reflec¬ tion of Hy’s excellent super¬ vision. Before coming to Paramus High School he worked for thirty-two years in the construction business. Shown here is the mainte¬ nance staff of the high school. Left to right standing are Mr. A. C. Hayunga, Mr. F. Wegehaupt, Mr. N. Meyn, Mr. L. Koenig, Mr. C. Gerdes, and Mr. G. Konicki.

SOCIAL STUDIES In accordance with the philosophy that all students should have a solid background in the American way of life, American history ' is required for all juniors and seniors. Heterogeneous classes bring all students together for a basic understanding of each other, im¬ perative in a democracy. Field trips to historic places, such as the L T nited Nations, numerous motion pictures, records, photographs, current events discussions, and term reports are used to present the history of America in relation to the world of today. It is through these courses that the high school most directly fulfills its primary puipose which is to create better citizens who are able to cope with the problems of the school, community, the nation, and the world. 24 4T8 AT.

In mathematics, too, the Paramus curricu¬ lum excels. The wide course selection pro¬ vides for the needs of all. For the accelerated students, an enriched program, including 2 2 years of algebra, and 1 year each of plane and solid geometry, calculus and trigonometry, is offered. These students participate in the Math League of Bergen County, learn the history of mathe¬ matics, and do research papers. For the college-bound student not majoring in this field, college preparatory courses are available. For those entering the business field, general and business mathematics is offered. For others, shop math and mechanical drawing may fit the bill. And so that every student can go out into the world with at least a minimum of mathematical ability, an arith¬ metic refresher course is given in the senior year to all who need it. At every school dance, athletic event and dramatic pro¬ duction one can sec Mr. Richard Tennant in the crowd. This geometry and senior math instructor received his B A. and M.A. at Montclair.

A four year sequence of science courses is offered, and students may delve as deeply as they wish into this field. Regular and accelerated classes are geared to individual needs. General science, biology, chemistry, and physics are now offered in this department. A minimum of one year of science is required of every high school student. Techniques used in this field are science assemblies, numerous films, integration of laboratory and classroom activities, and field trips. Modern equipment, small classes, and well designed rooms are the outstanding features and landmarks of the lab courses. A special science library, a darkroom, and a preparation lab are all located in the special science wing of the school. New methods of teaching chemistry and physics are being employed. It is for these reasons that Parainus High is graduating this year many students who have superior knowledge in science. Mrs. Catherine Mozak is a new and welcome addition to the PHS faculty. She attended Montclair State Teachers Col¬ lege where she obtained her de¬ gree in general science. Fresh¬ men taking general science receive her expert guidance. Mrs. Joan Grebe’s biology laboratory is “alive” with acquariums, exhibits, and dissec¬ tions. This is a tribute to her knowledge of teaching and the fascinating field of biology. Mrs. Grebe obtained her B.A. degree at Radcliffe. This is her first teaching position. An outdoor enthusiast, Miss Ann Nardo’s main hobby is ice- skating. This Montclair gradu¬ ate also likes bowling and danc¬ ing. She is one of the cheer¬ leaders’ advisors, and teaches biology. After being graduated from Long Island University and Columbia University, and after studying in France, Mr. Alan Netburn joined the PIIS faculty three years ago. He has taught general science, chemistry, bi¬ ology, and physics. Why it happens explored in the 28 i Miss Nardo points to a chart illus¬ trating the basic organs of the fish family.

Her famous “Tiene chicle en la boca? is known by all. and her introduction of Spanish culture makes her classes fascinating. Miss Mary Beilina, a petite and popular teacher, received her B.A. degree at St. Elizabeth College: she also attended Seton Hall. Miss Beilina teaches French and Italian in grades nine through twelve. She is ad¬ visor for our varsity twirlers. Among Miss Beilina’s out-of¬ school interests is teaching catechism. Mrs. Amy De Lauro, is the “amiga” of th ose learning the tongue spoken south of the border. Her favorite subject is the United Nations, and her kindness and understanding are appreciated by her many stu¬ dents. One of our new and well-liked teachers is Miss Gladys Filip- pone. a graduate of Bucknell. She has also attended Columbia University, University of Paris and Middlebury College; at present she is working for her M.A. This French teacher is co¬ advisor for the Future Teachers of America Club in PHS, and is a member of the AAUW. Muy Bien! et tu? Tres bien. Che ce de nuovo? Paramus High can well take pride in its Foreign Language De¬ partment. Besides being one of the first in the area to offer five lan¬ guages in any year, it also offers accelerated courses, and varied activities to make the department an outstanding one. Spanish, the most popular language in PHS, was one of the three original languages in the curriculum. Its four-year sequence offers students an opportunity to speak, read, and understand the language which is becoming so important in our nation today. The French classes, too? enrich their knowledge of the language by visiting restaurants and theaters where that language is spoken. The Latin teachers, in an effort to make their subject more inter¬ esting, describe the ancient culture and encourage projects about Roman times. Italian and German were added in the second year. These classes participated in the foreign language exhibit which interested students and the community alike. The German classes, in addition to learning the language, culture and art of Germany, presented a Christmas assembly, in which they sang songs in German and English. In all the languages accelerated classes facilitate learning for advanced pupils. Extra activities enrich the courses. The wide variety of offerings provide sufficient opportunity for students to learn a language in order to go into the world as a well-rounded, better student. Helen Murphy leads a German choir at a Christmas assembly. Left to right: Melanie Costa, Linda Budin. Veronica Morath, Sigrid Schroder, and Jill Brooks. In 1959 the language department presented a display of the customs of those countries in which the languages taught of PHS arc spoken. The German, French, Latin, and Italian classes participated in the display. Shown above is the display done by the Italian classes in the unusual showcase by the front entrance of the school. 30 A one-act play, completely in Latin, was presented by second year Latin students last year. Caesar was Pat Sepulveres, the oracle was Wayne Petocz, the scribe was Bob Kaufman, and the servant was Mary Lou Ziegler. Mr. Ernest Unger came to PHS last year to help teach in our expanding foreign language program. He is a Rutgers and University of Munich alumnus, and he teaches German and freshman English. His warm manner has won him much ad¬ miration here at Paramus, the first high school in which he has taught. Flowers, basketwork. embroidery and lo¬ cal costumes were all part of the Spanish play. Six in the cast of over 100 are (left to right) Marion Timko, Rosemary Es¬ posito, Judy Zayas, Shiela Poller, Juanita Fogle and Andrea Pavlick. Mrs. De- Lauro and Mrs. Arencibia directed and engineered the complete production. Mr. John Stefaniak, a new teacher at Paramus, comes to us from Scton Hall University. He teaches Latin and English. Weight-lifting, gymnastics and astronomy arc some of his many interests. Mr. Stefaniak is the advisor of the Gymnastics Club. Frau Elizabeth Yanker adds a touch of Deutsch to the faculty. The twinkle in her eyes, and the piggy bank on her desk, into which a penny goes for every English word spoken in her classes, are her trademarks. Music and bowling are the two main interests of one of our business education teachers, Mr. Louis J. DiTaranti. He was graduated from N.Y.U. with a B.S. and M.A., and teaches bookkeeping, typing, stenography and office prac¬ tice. Miss Ruth Stegen is one of the many teachers whose first teaching job is here at Paramus. This Montclair graduate was previously employed as a pro¬ fessional model. She teaches bookkeeping and typing to grades ten through twelve. Among her out-of-srhool activi¬ ties is teaching business courses at night school. At Albany State Teachers Col¬ lege. Mrs. Charlotte Wellins became a champion twirler of New York State. Now she is putting these talents to use as advisor to the twirling squad of PHS. She teaches secretarial practice, typing, and stenogra¬ phy. Mrs. Wellins came to PHS two years ago. Paramus High has introduced many new recruits to the teaching profession. Mr. Adolph Haug is one of these. A graduate from Seton Hall with a B.S. degree, Mr. Haug teaches business education to grades nine through twelve. He also attended N.Y.U. After a year here at PHS Mr. Haug likes it very much. Mr. Frederick Rapp directs our distributive education pro¬ gram and teaches salesmanship and law classes. After graduat¬ ing from Paterson State, he continued his studies at several other colleges, spending a sum¬ mer at the U. of Mexico. He is advisor to the Student Store Committee and the business staff of the Chariot. Actual Office Efficiency is The Paramus High School offers a complete sequence of courses in the business education field. The department’s aim is to provide the students with the adequate skills to enter the business world after graduation. The sequence begins with general business, a course which of¬ fers an overview of the elements of business. The traditional courses of bookkeeping, typing, and shorthand follow. Office practice, a half year course taken in conjunction with business machines attempts to further acquaint the student with the busi¬ ness office. Secretarial practice is a fourth year course preparing students to be qualified stenographers or secretaries. As one of the requirements of this course, the students must dress as they would in the business world. A unique feature of the business program is the distributive education course. In it seniors who have taken salesmanship and commercial law may take their required majors in the morning and work in the afternoon. This part-time work is supplemented with a classroom major, in which the work experience is evaluated and the “whys” as well as the “hows” of salesmanship are ex¬ plained. As in all of the other programs of PHS, no student is neglected. The needs of the college-bound student are met with a non¬ credit course in typing. Here the fundamentals of the typewriter are explained, and speed and accuracy are developed. At the combined Parent-Teachers Exhibit in the gym in January, 1960, the Busi¬ ness Department provided a lively, efficient display. Gail Lischke, left, and Diana Cleary show the skills they have learned. 32 This large showcase in the rear of room 105 is used to teach students the elements of window decorating.

Dash, who teaches creative arts, came to PHS when it opened in 1957. He is a graduate of Temple University, and has done fur¬ ther work at Rutgers and Co¬ lumbia. Mr. Dash is the ad¬ visor for the stage crew. Mrs. Barbara K. Laird was one of the two fine arts teachers who joined the PHS faculty this year. Coming straight from Montclair State College. Mrs. Laird teaches fine art to grades nine through twelve. In September. 1959. a valu¬ able addition to the creative arts program arrived on the scene from Montclair State College. Miss Jean De Mark, in addition to teaching various art classes, advises the art staff of the Delphian. Diane Halliday uses an air brush to paint a bell in art class. Joan Straka. Joan Zartarian and Ellen Symos act as sidewalk superintendents. The creative arts program of the high school is a single unit with all sections of it working together. School projects, such as plays, are a striking example of the unity in this department. The architectural drawing classes sketch the sets, the shops build them, and the art classes paint them, while the home economics department aids them by making costumes. The following four pages are devoted to the three sections: art. home economics and shop. In the art field a wide curriculum is offered. The freshman course emphasizes technique, design, color, and self-expression. The two art rooms provide ample facilities for students to experiment with pastels, water color, dry brush, oil. costume design, architecture, jew¬ elry ' , pottery’, ceramics, and leather work. As in the other departments of creative arts, both a major and a minor are offered. The minor course, meet¬ ing two periods a week, serves as a developmental hobby- type activity, while the major allows the students to delve more deeply into the principles and techniques of art. Cooperation is Jose ' Rodriguez masterfully and enthus¬ iastically shapes a vase on the potter ' s wheel at the exhibit during the “This We Believe — This We Do program while Louis Sabini looks on.

As a re¬ quired course for freshman girls, a study of personal, social and family relationships, clothing, child care, nutrition, budgeting, interior decoration and grooming is offered. These subjects may be fur¬ ther pursued as either majors or minors in any or all of the next three years. As seniors, all students take a two-month course in Family Living, which is a co-educational class dealing with the problems of social behavior. Since the beginning of the family living program, all PHS seniors have had the opportu¬ nity to be a student in Mrs. Beverly Saraby ' s classes. Mrs. Saraby. who also teaches home economics, is doing graduate work at Rutgers. She has been instrumental in forming our creative arts program. Golfing, skiing, ice-skating and playing tennis are indications of Miss Man- Woodmencey ' s great interest in outdoor sports. She is a graduate of Pratt In¬ stitute, and teaches homemak¬ ing. mostly sewing. She has been here for three years. Miss Woodmency helps Christine Czyz adjust a jacket sleeve in a home economics major class. Others in the foreground are Toni Klein and Anita Saitta. All seniors take family living for eight weeks. Mrs. Saraby explains some of the many problems students will face in the future. At the front table are Marie Fa- sino, Anita McManus, Richie Riccardi and Gary Schumacher. WHAT 15 LOVE TO YOU ROMAPmCUOVE REAL LOVE AOERS h h companio GLaMCU The shop section consists of the metal shop, the wood shop, and the mechanical drawing room. Students wishing a shop major and those wishing a minor are both accommodated. Courses such as me¬ chanical drawing, general shop, woodworking and general machines are given to develop skill, pride in accomplishment, and self-reliance, as well as to provide experience in a variety of industrial processes and materials. Last year, architectural drawing was added for those majoring in architecture. Bill Davenport and Richie Mezzatesta are work¬ ing on a project in the woodshop. The PHS shops are extremely well-equipped. ’ You never skill in high Working together around a table in the wood- shop are John Bouranel. Bruce Forrest, Anthony Crisafulli. Bib Hazel and Mike Capitman. The teacher is Mr. La Rose. Ed Herrine and Bob Merrill coop¬ erate in joining an edge in the wood shop. In an effort to turn out a well-finished product, shop students, like Andrew Pavlick here, spend many hours working. The machine he is using is a wood-turning lathe. Eugene Callahan joins an edge in the woodshop. He is so involved in his work that he doesn ' t even notice our photographer. Mr. Le Rose, one of our excellent shop teachers, is showing the boys a new motor and explaining the functions of the different parts. Clockwise are Dave Johnston. George Hambel, John Peszko, Joe Staunton, Richard Mezzatesta and Marty Kosce. Mr. Angelo La Rose came to PHS with both teaching and industrial experience behind him.

Left to right are Marian Revicki, Julius Lattanzi, Chuck Babris and Paul Celia. Mr. John Le Rose came to Par- amus three years auo to help organize the shop program. He is a graduate of Trenton State. He teaches metal shop and me¬ chanical drawing, and can often be seen working late hours in the shops with stu¬ dents. Having been graduated from City College with a B.S.. Mr. Simon Reichcg returned there to work for his M S. which he will receive in June. His call of “clean up” is well known in the metal shop. He is interested in the theater, and helps the Drama Workshop building sets. These boys are learning to use machines in our shop. Mr. Reicheg looks on as Emil Tabor puts the blade into the band saw.

Hoeland, instructor in physical education and head basketball coach, moved to PHS from four years of teach¬ ing and coaching at Memorial School. He has a degree in phys¬ ical education from Seton Hall. A sound mind in a sound body ' says our Physical Education Department. The physical education department at Paramus has built up a sound and com¬ plete program in which indiv idual needs are recognized as basic. Each student has gym at least three times a week. With the advantage of a large gymnasium, an auxiliary gym, outside athletic fields, and modern equipment, the department has devised a modern and varied program. Freshmen and sophomores have one period of health education each week. Movies, discussions, and reading help the student to understand the concepts of good health. In place of health, juniors have driver education, and seniors have family living. One of our very popular physi¬ cal education teachers, Mr. Robert Kingsley, is coach of the J.V. basketball team and head coach of the baseball team. Mr. Kingsley obtained his B.S. degree at New York University and also attended The object of this game is to knock over the pins on the floor. These sophomores are Richie Renna, Doug Walsh, Wayne Maschack and Frank Cintron. Paterson State Teachers Col¬ lege. He is one of the advisors of boys ' intramurals.

She is ad¬ visor of the Modern Dance club and of the Varsity Che erleaders. Two of Mrs. Dahler ' s interests are the Aquans. a swimming group, and teaching children at camp to swim. The seniors will remember Mrs. Dahler by her “cool” dances and her favorite word “Ladies.” % One of our new physical edu¬ cation teachers, Miss Elizabeth E. Hillers, is a co-advisor for three groups: the twirlers, the Modern Dance Club, and girls’ intramurals. A Douglass alumna. Miss Hillers has many varied interests including read¬ ing. traveling and swimming. 39 Many students know Miss Bar¬ bara Nelson from their elemen¬ tary school days at Spring Val¬ ley School. She received her B.A. degree at Montclair State Teachers College in physical education and English. She is the advisor for the girls’ intra¬ mural program and freshman cheerleading. Most of the members of the chorus have a regularly sched¬ uled practice every day. At this fourth period rehearsal are Mr. Allen, (BOTTOM ROW) Judy Zayas, Helen Murphy, Carol Suppo, Faith Beard and Anita Gulko, (TOP ROW) Dottie Becker. Richie Good rich. Elaine Fake. Georgia Gil- lis and Penny Mattern. Mr. Frank Ryerson, our band director, is nationally known as a composer and arranger. For five years he directed the Ele¬ mentary School Band. After graduating from the Manhat¬ tan School of Music and M.S.T.C., he joined the PHS family three years ago. Our choral and instrumental instructors repeat, ’ Practice makes perfect ’ Mr. Norman Allen majored in music at the Universit y of Edu¬ cation in Potsdam, New York. At PHS he teaches vocal mu¬ sic, concert choir, harmony, and music literature. Mr. Allen also directed the musical. Best Foot Forward. Band members crowd around clarinetists Joe Oranchak. Bob Reidel and Bemie Yaged. Mr. J. Cortland Drake is at left. Mr. Robert W. Witte is a grad¬ uate of Columbia University. He has taught the woodwind section of Paramus school bands for over six years. On the side he has organized a dance band. Working to accomodate the needs of all its students, Paramus High has designed an excellent program in the field of music. For those pupils with a special talent and interest in music there is a course in music appreciation. It provides the foundation to the the¬ ory of music, composition, harmony, and instrumentation. Supple¬ menting this course are the band and the chorus. In addition to regular periods of band each week, one period is set aside to allow each musician to receive a private lesson to help him develop skill on his particular instrument. The chorus, meeting five days a week, is primarily a singing group, although the members do study some music appreciation. Chuck Price is being given a private lesson on the trumpet by Mr. Ryerson. The music room is designed so that many lessons can go on simultane¬ ously. 40 On the road and in the classroom, our juniors learn about cars. John V. De Gasperis came to PHS last year, and teaches driver education and training, gym and health. This Univer¬ sity of Delaware graduate, who coaches freshman baseball and football, is advisor for weight¬ lifting and table-tennis. One of the teachers everyone knows is Mr. John Valente, driving instructor and Director of Athletics. He graduated from Brockport S.T.C. with a B.S. degree and from New Paltz S.T.C. with a Master’s degree. Mr. Valente belongs to the Bergen County Coaches Assn., the N.J. Assn, for Health and Physical Education, Bergen County Athletic Directors Assn., and N.J. State Athletic Direc¬ tors Assn. Mr. De Gasperis gives Julius Lattanzi some pointers in driving during his on-the-road lesson. Ed Schneider waits his turn in the back scat. Two years ago Paramus High added driver education and driver training to the curriculum. All juniors take a once-a-week classroom course where they learn the fundamentals of the automobile, safe driving habits, and correct attitudes. They also are given a chance to take the official written test for their drivers ' licenses in school. Students who are 16 2 and who have free time may take on-the- road training in one of the two dual-control cars owned by the school. In approximately nine weeks most of the students can finish the six-hour course. The driver education program is not only valu¬ able in producing safe drivers, but students can receive insurance reduction after successfully completing the course. Mr. Valenti points to a part of the automobile cooling system. To the left of him are Paul Giordano and Bill Yager. Seated to his right is Ton, De Maria, and standing are Gene Dc Santis, Vinnie De Maria, Richie Sabella, Joe Muklcvicz and Stu Landau. Tommy Aigotti leafs through a magazine in the quiet, smooth-run¬ ning library. Students doing research or reading for enjoyment keep this room busy. The library strives on for more books and higher circulation. Miss Gloria M Carney has beer eminently successful in her monu¬ mental task of beginning a high school library. She has spent many extra days of ordering, cataloguing, and shelving new books, in addi¬ tion to performing the normal li¬ brary tasks. She received her B.S. and B L.S. at Trenton, her M.A. at Columbia, and her MLS. at the Rutgers Graduate School of Library Science. Mrs. Helen M. Etzkorn joined the PHS family last September as co¬ librarian. She is now using her val¬ uable knowledge to develop our li¬ brary into a school center. She ob¬ tained her B.A. at Albion College, and her M.A. in library science at Columbia. After one short year, Mrs. Etzkorn is an indispensable part of PHS. About six months after the opening of school, the library was opened with over 1000 volumes. It has tripled in size in less than three years, adding over 1000 books per year. The library plant at PHS is extremely modern and well equipped. Direct connection with the main student center makes it accessible to all students. The main room is spa¬ cious, with ample shelving and desk space. Natural light enters from the adjoining court and the light domes in the ceiling. There are separate rooms for storage, cataloguing and office work. Since its opening, the library has had additions other than books. A second librarian has been added t o the staff, and a part-time secretary ' aids in clerical work. Early in 1959 the school purchased an electric charging-machine which has facilitated the process of borrowing books. 42 The Paramus Teachers’ Association play benefits the scholarship fund each year. The Paramus Teachers’ Association is an organ¬ ization whose membership is open to every teacher in the Paramus school system. This group is con¬ cerned basically with the improvement of educa¬ tion and the welfare of the teachers. Actively interested in bills before the state leg¬ islature, the association seeks to keep the legisla¬ ture informed as to the views of the teachers. A candidates ' night, preceding each Board of Edu¬ cation election, is an activity sponsored by this group. Among the many worthwhile projects of the association is a plan to present a $500 scholarship to each of two worthy members of the first gradua¬ ting class. The play My Sister Eileen was pre¬ sented to raise money for the scholarship fund Dances and cake sales have been held for the same purpose.

A variety of service and fun clubs develop well-rounded personalities The Student Council constitution was amended in 1959 to add another officer to the executive board, a corresponding secretary. The five officers are Ed Hille. recording secretary; Helen Davidian, corresponding secretary; Web Gould, president; Cliff Gennarelli, vice-president; and Dave Boses, treasurer. UPPER RIGHT: The Student Council officers for the first and second years of operation were Web Gould, president; Dave Boses, treasurer; Muriel Tramontano, secretary; Ronnie Bibbo, vice-president.

Left to right in the first row are Richie Silver- man, Johanna Masetti, Barbara Cortazzo and Martha From. Dances, trips and student problems take up most of the Student Council s time. Soon after the first day of school, in 1957, representatives from each homeroom met to dis¬ cuss plans for a student organization. They drafted a constitution by December, which was ratified by the faculty and students and formed the Student Council of Paramus High School. The Student Council is the governing body of the student organization, of which all students are members. The council, advised by the Social Studies Department, is responsible for all matters concerning student activities. It is the heart of the club program. It plans class trips, dances, formals. all fund-raising affiairs and innumerable other activities. During our first two years, the students elected four officers and two representatives from each homeroom. Among the activities in these years were the adoption of Kim Hung Kil (a Korean boy who still receives monthly support from PHS). the organization of the club pro¬ gram, and the designing and ordering of school rings. The Student Council also sponsored over a dozen dances, including the first Junior Prom. In the last year, a major event was the adoption of changes in the constitution. The two changes were the addition of a corresponding secretary, and a revision in election procedures. A new council was elected, and because of its increased membership, had to split into two groups. The major activities of the 1959-60 Student Council were the Winter Formal, the Thanksgiving Eve bonfire, the Senior Class Trip to Washington, the Senior Prom, and several dances. The permanent committees of the Student Council are the Ways and Means. Senior. Junior. Sophomore, and Freshman Classes. Student Store. Sunshine. Ring, Student Civic. Club Eval¬ uation, and Community. Two special committees, the Student Awards and Constitutional Revision, functioned over an extended period of time.

In October, 1958, after a short period of staff organization and preparation, Vol. I, No. I of the Chariot hit the newsstands of Paramus High. Since then the Chariot has come out monthly, giving students news of school events, summaries of sports events, editorial opinions and creative writing. In May, 1959, after just a year of publication, the Chariot was given a second place rating at the SPANJ, a conference at which school newspapers are judged and rated. During the last year the Chariot staff began to iron out many of the publication problems encountered in the previous year. Ques¬ tionnaires, letters to the editor, and public opinion were used to help develop a newspaper which would be closest to the needs of the students. Penelope, authoress of the “Dear Penelope” column, having inspired the confidence of many, was now able to work at her best, solving any and every problem brought to her. This is one of the many features which has caused the great popularity of the Chariot. Charlie Mitchell and Stephanie Colon put up posters in the Student Commons.

Delphian The yearbook staff, realizing the great task which con¬ fronted it, organized early in the spring of 1959. Editors were chosen for the 1960 book, and the planning of the book was soon begun. By June the general plans were fin¬ ished, the name Delphian was chosen, and many pictures had been taken. By Christmas much of the book was com¬ pleted. During the summer and the first week of school the senior photos were taken. Several months and many crises later, spring arrived and with it the final deadline. As the book was finally put to bed, the next yearbook staff was chosen. Thus, the members of the 1960 Delphian staff finished up the job with hopes that they were setting a pattern for many future yearbook staffs to follow.

This year Mrs. Etzkorn added her services and the library council is starting its third success¬ ful year. The council ' s work revolves around the library. They keep the library’ clean, check out books and care for old and new books. They held a book sale for students which was very successful, and were responsible for decorating the Student Commons Christmas tree. Our group joins with other library councils to see films and hear guest speakers so that they can improve their work and their library. Coming soon is a regional meeting of Library Councils in Bergen County from which our li¬ brary council will learn a great deal.

Since its formation in the early part of 1959, the Visual Aids Club has performed a great many sendees for the school. Being primarily a sendee club involves the details of assisting teachers to set up programs and equipment which the club uses: cameras, projectors, sound systems, and tape recorders. The future plans of the club are to add equipment (such things as television) and to increase the membership of the club in order to teach more students how to operate visual aids equipment.

The Drama Workshop members, a group of about thirty high school students, are known far and wide for their con¬ sistently good dramatic performances. On October 30, 1958, they put on an adaptation of Damn Yankees for the assembly, and Mr. James Morganti’s crew began their road to fame. During the next two years, the Drama Workshop put on three major productions and numerous one-act plays and skits. In Damn Yankees as in many other productions, the tryouts were open to the whole school, not just the club. Two months later, the group put on the Christmas scene from the Broadway comedy hit The Man Who Came to Dinner. The group worked with the Guidance Department in producing a one-act play called Ins and Outs in February. Another fascinating assembly was Sorry, Wrong Number, a mystery thriller. In early autumn, 1959, with the aid of the chorus, the group staged On the Town, the school’s first musical. In major productions, the group put on I Remember Mama, a full length show in May, 1959. This smashing hit was followed by Time Out for Ginger in the fall of 1960. The musical Best Foot Forward was presented on February 5 and 6. This was a superb demonstration of the co¬ operation among the Dramatics, Speech, Music, and Cre¬ ative Arts departments. As one of the most active and interesting groups of PHS, the Drama Workshop has proved that we excel in show business, as well as in other fields.

' Best Foot Forward” was PHS’s first musical. Yves Veenstra (publicity manager) warns Dolores Baker (Gale Joy) that this town is a “burg.” But she shrugs it off, and is off to the prom. The Drama Workshop again provided an evening of delightful entertainment when it presented the musical comedy, Best Foot Forward, on February 5 and 6, 1960. The musical comedy was cen¬ tered around a prom in an all¬ male school. The problems in¬ curred, when a beautiful actress came to the school for the prom as a publicity stunt, were amus¬ ingly presented. The action served as a vehicle for several songs and dances. The success of the play added to the fine reputation of the Drama Workshop, which was established by our previous plays.

After two months of rehearsing, the Drama Workshop members presented PHS’s first major dramatic production, I Remember Mama, in May. 1959. Based on the novel by Katherine Forbes, the play portrays San Francisco life in the early 1900 ' s with a Nor¬ wegian family. The cast of over twenty, under the expert direction of Mr. Mor- ganti, surprised the students, faculty members, and town citizens, with their superb performances.

Time Out for Ginger”; The Drama Workshop maintained its fine reputation set by 1 Remember Mama and various shorter productions by presenting the comedy Time Out for Ginger last au¬ tumn. A talented, well-directed, and well-rehearsed cast, supported by an efficient backstage crew, offered a night of enjoyment to the public on November 6 and 7, 1959. The comedy, about teenage family life, appealed to the audience by referring to football, dating, school life, and adolescent growing pains.

The Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y clubs are national organizations for high school girls and boy s, respectively. The main purpose of both clubs is to serve the school, community and nation. The Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y members were inducted in October, 1959, at a joint ceremony and reception to which the parents were invited. The Tri-Hi-Y members served refreshments at all the home basketball games as a service to the school. They plan to under¬ take several other service projects. The girls have participated in several social activities with the Tri-Hi-Y members of other high schools. The members of the Hi-Y plan to make a bulletin board in the student commons, wash and simonize the driver-ed cars, and help advertise all school plays. Their social activities have included bowling, playing basketball, and attending a hockey game. Guest speakers and films brightened the meetings of both clubs. The Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y clubs sponsored a charity dance for Thanksgiving called “Drumsticks.” The cans of food, which were collected as admission to the dance, were given to charity.

A committee met in the Fall of 1959 and drew up a constitution. The members of the committee were the advisors, Mrs. Florence Greenstein and Mr. Emil Sanzari, and the charter members. Evelyn Evans and Carl Wittman. The Honor Society was char¬ tered in December of 1959. A committee, consisting of Mrs. Greenstein, Miss Free¬ man, Mr. Netburn. Mr. Sanzari, and Mr. Dunn, selected sixteen members from the top ten per cent of the senior class, based on the recommendation of the faculty. Each of the members was rated by the faculty as to scholarship, leadership, serv ice and character. The members were in¬ ducted on February 10 by the officers of the Honor So¬ ciety of Ridgefield Park High School in a formal ceremony in the P.H.S. auditorium. The purpose of the organization is to give recognition to the outstanding seniors and to undertake projects which will be of service to the school. The Honor Society planned several projects, including a book sale and library, charity work and the induction of the juniors in the spring.

The golf club of Paramus High School was formed in the fall of 1959. The purpose of the club is to instill in the members a sense of good sportsmanship, courtesy and manners in the play¬ ing of golf, and it is doing its job well. Under the excellent guidance of Mr. Pollack, the club has grown to a membership of approxi¬ mately 20 students. Mr. Kingsley assists Mr. Pol¬ lack in leading the group. There is a good possibility that this year they will play regularly at the Riverdale Golf Course. The club plans to par¬ ticipate in matches with other school teams.

The boys are instructed by Mr. John De Gasperis. The members did not elect officers, because they felt the simple nature of their activities does not require such manage¬ ment. The purpose of the club is to improve the physical co-ordination and muscular strength of its members. The members practice exercises, lift different types of weights, and work with various other equipment. Mr. De Gasperis used films and other resources to supplement his instructions. Mr. DeGasperis supervises as Jesse Samuels lifts a barbell. Ed Citro and Joe Muklevicz help Tony DeMaria lift a heavier barbell. The Gymnastics Club, under the direction of the faculty advisor, Mr. Joseph Stefaniak, meets twice a week. The club consists of approximately fifteen members, who are strongly interested in developing their physical co-ordination, timing and acrobatic skill. Tumbling and apparatus work are the primary activities of the club. The members improve their acrobatic skills by practicing on the parallel bars, the “horse,” ropes and various other equipment. They also attend several gymnastics exhibitions and see many films which illustrate gymnastic skills. and gymnastics, PHS has clubs.

Tennis and modern dance keep our students in shape. In the early spring of 1959, Mr. Joseph McDonough mentioned to his chemistry ' classes that he was interested in starting a tennis club. Within a week, over twenty members signed up. The club was formally started, and Mr. McDonough, with the aid of Mr. A1 Netburn, spent afternoons after school teaching the basic skills of tennis. Over the summer the maintenance stafT painted lines and put up a net, and in the fall interested persons played during gym classes and after school. In the spring, Mr. McDonough organized the club, and with membership increased, Paramus High now has a flourishing tennis club. The modern dance club formed by Mrs. Greenstein in 1958, was immediately success¬ ful, and has been a sturdy, thriving group ever since. This year Mrs. Dahler and Miss Hillers have taken over the sponsorship of the group. The twenty-five members of the club hold weekly meetings in the Girls’ Gymnasium where they learn technique and composition. Their recent studies are for programs to be presented at the Ridgewood Modern Dance Symposium and the State Dance Symposium. The future plans of Modern Dance are the preparation of programs suitable for school assemblies and the creation of costumes and music to be used by future groups.

Radio Club In 1957 the Paramus High School Ama¬ teur Radio Club was formed by several persons who, under the guidance of Mr. LeRose. were interested in creating an or¬ ganization which would promote an interest in radio. As a by-product, the acquiring of some experience in elec tronics was expected. At present the club is involved in construct¬ ing equipment. Most members have amateur licenses. Our school radio station has made contacts in Europe as well as the United States. Last year the club gained membership into the American Radio Relay League, which is a national amateur fraternity, and through it glean helpful hints for devel¬ oping the club. George Vlasits explains his new “Relativitats- theorie” at an astronomy club meeting. Those looking on are George Leicht, Bob Leicht, Stan Hirschi, Link White, Mike Molnar and Tom Lee. The Astronomy Club, with Mr. Mc¬ Donough as advisor, has developed into a fine organization since it was established two years ago. Its two-fold purpose is to further the in¬ terest of PHS students in the field of astron¬ omy, and to give those already interested an opportunity to further their knowledge. Besides observing the heavens with their telescope, the members plan to construct a model Vanguard missile to scale as this year’s project. L T pon completion, the missile and its launching pad will be on display in the student commons. The radio club receives instructions from their advisor, Mr. LeRose, before beginning op¬ eration. Members are George Vaccaro, Marty Gulko, Arnie Mercer, Gordon Reycraft, Wesley Van Pelt, Jeff Zayas and Harvey Wallerstein.

Miss Pfund. the Board of Education, and faculty members. The awards program was set up to give recognition to those who have been outstanding in service, scholarship, and athletics. Membership in the National Honor Society has been established as the award for outstanding scholarship. The committee worked with the Physical Education Department in setting up the awards for athletics. The service awards program operates on a point system. Student Store The Student Store is a unique feature of Paramus High School. Run by students, the main function of the store is to sell school supplies to the students. Emblems, pencils, pens, buttons and bookcovers are sold there. Orders were taken for school jackets and hats, and these were sold to students through the store. Senior candy orders were taken at the Student Store. A staff of students, who first were organized by the Stu¬ dent Council, runs the store. ' Mr. Rapp and the business department help the students. The Student Council receives a percentage of each sale, so students are supporting their government as well as having a convenient school store. Conducting business at the student store are Luule Nilberg and Warren Biss. The customers are Wesley Van Pelt, Andy Pavlick and Eileen Callagee.

Early in our second year of operation, Mrs. Fielding and almost thirty girls organized the Future Nurses Club. Since then they have been most active, planning programs, raising funds and learning about the nursing profession. One of the central activities has been the “Nurses Aid” proj¬ ect. Girls from the club work in the Bergen Pines Hospital, and learn about nursing first-hand while serving in the hospital. Other projects were sing¬ ing at the Mt.

Mr. Chiocca and Miss Pfund entertain Mrs. Agnes Know- land, an elementary school teacher from England who is teaching in Paramus this year in an exchange pro¬ gram. She was the speaker at a Future Teachers Club meeting. The William V. Dunn Future Teachers Association consists of about twenty high school students interested in becoming teachers. Organized two years ago, the FT A has been one of the more active clubs in the school. In 1959, they added a teacher’s aid program. Their other activities include visiting colleges, holding parties, and inviting speakers to come to their meetings. The FTA is a member of the national organization of Future Teachers Associations. The purpose of the national organization, as well as each member club, is to introduce and prepare students for the teaching pro¬ fession. Among their guest speakers are Dr. Hood, from Paterson State College, and Mrs. Knowland, an exchange teacher from England. The advisors of the club are Mrs. Colnaghi and Miss Filippone. 69 “The Twelve Days of Christmas” brought down the house at the Christmas Concert, presented by the Chorus. FRONT ROW: Nadia Schreiber.

The Paramus High School Concert Choir has, during the last year, reached an all- time high in both membership and activity. Almost fifty students sing in the chorus. The public performances which the choir gave this year were the Spring Concert, the Sounds of Christmas concert, the Bergen Mall caroling, and the two shows, Best Foot Forward and On the Town. After two years under the leadership of Mr. Dave Brown, the chorus took on its present name, and Mr. Norman Allen took over the conductorship. This year the chorus began meeting during school time. There are three chorus classes: two meet five days a week, and the other three days a week. Before concerts the whole chorus practices after school. Bernie Yaged accompanies the chorus on the piano.

It started when the seniors in the band were in elementary school. After some practice, they miraculously come out sounding exactly like a Bavarian tavern band. Warren Earabino tightens his drum before dressing for the band concert. Three other members watch attentively. The chorus and band have performed many times, ALL admirably. The Paramus High School Band, under the direction of Frank Ryerson and his assistants, Robert Witte and Cortland Drake, has been in existence for three years. During this time it has grown from a handful of musicians to an organization con¬ sisting of seventy-five members. The band made its debut in 1958 at its first annual spring concert. Since that time the unit has played at many school functions and dedications within the bor¬ ough. It also participated in the Festival of Bands held in Paramus High in the spring of 1959. As a marching band, the unit made its initial appearance during the 1958 football season and has appeared at every game since. In addition, it has marched in the Paramus Fourth of July Parade, in which it won the trophy as the best marching band. Furthering its reputation, the group entered the Pageant of Bands at the Tea- neck Armory. In accordance with the theme, “The Paramus Streamliner,” the unit formed a locomotive and played the appropriate songs as it moved across the country from New York to California. From its meager beginnings the Paramus High School Band has made great strides. Mr. Witte sees how these three clarinetists sound before the Band Concert. They are Rita Malazzo, Lorraine Turco and Nancy Kelly. Bernie Yaged, first clarinetist, has been in the Paramus School bands since elementary school. The PHS band under the direction of Mr. Ryerson, performed He plays a multitude of instru- at the Pageant of Bands in the Teaneck Armory. They are shown ments. doing their formation, “The Paramus Streamliner.” Pete Frosio plays his baritone horn. Pete is one of the few seniors in the band, and he will be missed next year after he graduates. SPORTS 73 The best formula for a winning team is lots of practice, and this is how PHS did it. Here the team uses the padded dummies during an after¬ noon practice. 74 1 Students, friends, parents and relatives crowded the stands for all of PHS’s games. The crowd and the band in the foreground cheer on the team. There were over 2500 attending the Thanksgiving game. The Spartans’ debut as a varsity football team on October 3, 1959, resulted in a victory over East Paterson, encouragingly beginning the varsity sea¬ son for Paramus. On Thanksgiving, concluding an exciting and victorious season, the team displayed a sparkling offense and shut out Lodi, 42—0. Sports writers of the county were surprised and impressed with the team, and by the end of the season they predicted PHS victories regularly. Some of the upsets of the year were the Teaneck tie (7—7), and victories over Ramapo (7—0), Bergen Catholic (27—0) and Ridgefield Park (7—6). The final seasonal record was 5 wins, 2 losses, and 2 ties. Mr. William Peck coached the team, and was assisted by Messrs. Nardo, Grasso, Brown and DeGasperis. The team converted to the “T-formation,” after using the “single wing” the pre¬ vious year. The safest way to photograph this type of action is with a telephoto lens!

Coach Nardo points a finger at a member of his freshman team during a practice. Coach Brown is at right. The junior varsity and freshman football records of the 1959 season both added to the glory of the school, and augur well of winning teams in the future. The junior varsity team ended the season with a 1—4—2 record. The freshman team, coached by Mr. Vincent Nardo and Mr. Charles Brown, shared the league championship with a 7—1 record. Major surprises in the freshman season in 1959 were the wins scored against Hasbrouck Heights and Engle¬ wood, which enabled them to tie the latter team and Hackensack for the league title. Our first junior varsity team, ably coached by Mr. Ronald Mastrolia, and his associates, Mr. Frank Grasso and Mr. Vincent Nardo, had an impressive undefeated season of eight games in 1958. The season was high¬ lighted by victories over Teaneck and Bergenfield, snap¬ ping the latter ' s winning streak of twenty games at the last tilt of the season. The Paramus High team used a single wing formation that year. The freshman team ended with a .500 pet., with 4 wins and 4 losses. In the previous year, 1957 — when PHS opened — our first-string team played a junior varsity schedule, ending with a 3—3—1 season. The Paramus High School freshman team shared the county championship with Englewood and Hackensack. BACK ROW: Mike LaRose, Bill McCullough, Don Sanns. Barry Goldstein.

Bonnie Kautz, as head majorette, led the color guard, twirlers and band at football games, rallies and the Teaneck Pageant of Bands. The twirling squad was formed two years ago to pro¬ vide additional entertainment whenever the band per¬ formed in public. The twirlers who practice for many hours consistently display extraordinary skill. These vivacious girls performed at all of the football games, at the Festival of Bands in the Teaneck Armory, and at the Spring Concerts. In the 1959 Fourth of July parade the twirlers and band won a trophy for the best marching unit in their category. The twirlers are divided into two groups, the A and B Squads. The A squad participates in contests and special exhibitions, whereas the B squad joins them in all other functions. The faculty advisors are Miss Beilina, Mrs. Wellins and Miss Hillers. The day for twirling tryouts once a year is a tense moment for girls interested in twirling. At the left Marie Fasino, Mary Ann Meinhardt, Bonnie Kautz and Denise Hall try their hardest to impress the judges. All the judges confer, and make the difficult decisions.

Our beginnings on the basketball court again displayed our ability to participate well in competition. As juniors in the 1958-59 season, coached most competently by Mr. Herbert Hoeland and Mr. Robert Kingsley, the team finished with a sparkling fifteen- five record. The team exhibited the same earnestness and sportsmanship displayed by the other teams. The season ended with a surprise victory over the Crusaders of Bergen Catholic, 63—59. Although the ’59 season was, as a whole the most successful, in 1958 the squad turned in a commendable 10—8 record. Considering the fact that it was the school’s first basketball team and that competition was tough, this record is a creditable one. The PHS sophomore team in 1958 also had a winning season compiling an 8—6 record. Varsity Basketball The varsity basketball team left to right KNEEL¬ ING are Ed Hille. Rodney Weber. Craig Blair.

Paramus High’s first official season o f varsity basketball terminated with a rec¬ ord of nine wins and nine losses. The PHS team played many outstanding games in their effort to establish a noteworthy reputation. Enthusiasm, ability and good sportsmanship were exhibitied at the games. Preparing for the first season of varsity competition in basketball required much practice, cooperation, fortitude and pa¬ tience from the Spartan players. They were handicapped by their lack of experi¬ ence in varsity ball. Experience and new knowledge, however, were gained from every game. The basketball season was opened by a game with Hasbrouck Heights on Decem¬ ber 4. During the Christmas season the Spartans participated in the Don Bosco Holiday Festival Tournament. A game with Bergenfield on February 29 officially ended the season. The Spartans then en¬ tered the State Basketball Tournament, winning their first game, but bowing in the second. Paramus can truly be proud of its first varsity basketball team, which established standards of good sportsmanship, team cooperation and outstanding ability for future Spartans. Senior Nicky Ferreira, one of Paramus’s high scorers, will be sorely missed next season. Stan Bauer (54) and Gary Fullem (50) watch intently as Nicky Ferreira (34) and Bill Yaged (24) try for a rebound during this game with Englewood.

Varsity cheerleaders Doreen Kern, Sharon Ferguson, Ronnie Zanker and Ardis Zanker add to the decoration of Pete Frosio’s Model A before the first Thanksgiv¬ ing Day game. The various emotions of joy, wonder, excitement and tenseness are all expressed on the faces of these cheerleaders. They are starting from Diane Halliday (on tiptoes), Sharon Ferguson, Doreen Kern, Rose Axelrod, Joan Straka, Elsan Zimmerly, Lenore Petouvis, Diana Cleary, Muriel Tramon¬ tane and Chips Lindenmeyr. Co-captain Joan Straka leads a cheer at a pep rally in the auditorium. Mr. Ryerson is in the background. Cheerleader co-captain Lenore Petouvis rear¬ ranges her hair at a football game. The pre¬ vious cheer must have been one with lots of action. The strong wind does not stop these ambitious cheerleaders from deco¬ rating the goal posts for the Thanksgiving Day game. From top to bot¬ tom: Ardis Zanker, Sha¬ ron Ferguson and Doreen Kern. To start off the basketball season with a bang, the cheerleaders perform a novel cheer called “Basket¬ ball Rock.” Facing camera are Elsan Zimmerly, Rose Axelrod, Lenore Petouvis and Joan Straka. The cheerleaders, a group of eleven spirited PHS girls, cheer at all football and basketball games and lead pep rallies before big games. They organized the bonfire before the 1959 Thanksgiving Day football game. The cheer¬ leaders conduct the sale of the “beat” cards and shakers before each football game. Seniors on the squad are Ardis Zanker, Sharon Ferguson, Elsan Zimmerly, Lenor Petouvis (co-captain) and Joan Straka (co-captain). Juniors include Helen Davidian, Chips Lindenmeyr and Rose Axelrod.

The PHS baseball team of 1959 upheld the standard set in other sports by representing the Spartans on high levels of skill and sportsmanship. The squad concluded the season with a record of eight wins, six losses and one tie. The team, coached by Mr. Robert Kingsley and Mr. Herbert Hoeland, received excellent training and guidance throughout the long season, and the records show that the coaches have been suc¬ cessful in their aims.

The schedule consists of two parts an¬ nually: cross-country in the autumn and the conventional track and field in the spring. In 1959 Paramus High School was rep¬ resented in varsity cross-country for the second straight year. Coached by Mr. A1 DeFilippo and Mr. Lou Lanzalotto, the team finished with a 4 —8 record. In 1958, its initial varsity season, the cross-country team had a 3 —6 record. As the junior varsity of the spring of 1959. the track team had a victorious season of 6 wins and 5 defeats. The members of the team feel that the success of any athlete depends upon the athlete himself. For that reason, the boys are left more on their own than in other sports. Nevertheless, they are given all the help and guidance they need, as the coaches are always willing to pass on their experience to the boys on the various squads.

Some of the sports which the girls play are hockey, volleyball, basketball, track, and softball. Paramus has devel¬ oped much skill in this field, as demon¬ strated by the outstanding performance during the Metopolitam Girls’ Athletic Conference, in which we copped first place. 84 Athletics Frank Wojno shoots during an intramural game after school. Others left to right are Joe Basil, Barry Tuchin, Bob Besserer, Pete Kessler and Ed Cleenput. In line with the Paramus philosophy that each person has a place in the school program, the athletic department schedules many intramural athletics. These include football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, weight-lifting, and baseball. Games are held after school, and permanent teams are made to develop competition. Fair play and sportsmanship are em¬ phasized in the program. Mr. Herb Hoeland and Mr. Bob Kingsley are the advisors for intra¬ mural activities.

In sports, especially basketball, juniors numbered among the starts. The Junior Class Committee planned many activities, including the Winter formal. The Junior Class went to the United Nations early in the year. At the three-quarter point, in their high school careers, the juniors look to their senior year with high hopes.

But “wise,” “foolish” or any other word could not describe all of the sophomores and their experiences. Being able to participate as a twirler, cheerleader, or sportsman were only a few opportunities. Much sopho¬ more talent was revealed in these extra-curricular activities which pro¬ vided both work and fun. As the sophomores look back on their freshman year, they visualize many happy memories. Changing classes at the start of the ninth grade was new to them. After bearing the burden for a year, junior high grad¬ uation finally came. On June 15, 1959, the class of 1962 had the first freshman graduation in PHS. Everyone glowed in his cap and gown — the boys in blue, the girls in white. The dance which followed was a great success. The summer came and passed. The new class of sophomores started school jubilantly. Biology was only one of the new subjects which soph¬ omores explored. In Student Council a sophomore class committee was appointed. Our second year of high school is now at a close. It was filled with stimulating experiences and we look forward to more of the same. The memories will not be forgotten as we “wise fools,” the class of 1962, pass on into PHS history ' .

Although the elementary classes were kept as a separate unit in the high school, the students absorbed some of the sophistication and maturity of high school students and adjusted rapidly to their new home. In the eighth grade they were responsible for a new junior high school newspaper Junior Highlights. They elected officers and developed a strong, active junior government. In their activities, the class gave a new life to their subjects. As an example of this, Mrs. Morv’s class bought a stock in a study of the stock market. They were initiated into departmental education as they entered the high school this year. The freshman teams, especially basketball (11—4) and football, (7—1) were outstanding. The culmination of their three years was the junior high school graduation and dance in June. One of the services which the Stu¬ dent Council provides is noon-time dancing in the auxiliary gym. In the foreground Kathy Pounds dances with Alynne Wisse, and behind them Cookie DiMaggio and Sheila Poller keep time to the music.
