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

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.
