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
