Miss Ann Behr is one of our many friendly new teachers. She received her B.S. degree at Fordham, and now teaches mathematics to Paramus freshmen. Miss Behr is also the sponsor of the freshman cheerleading squad, and belonged to many college clubs. Mr. Daniel T. Jankelunas is the advanced math teacher, the calculus instructor, and the Visual Aids Club advisor. He attended Paterson State, then Montclair State where he obtained an M.A. He did other graduate study at Williams College, U. of Mass., and Holy Cross. A sense of humor makes Mr. Tennant’s classes enjoyable. Ronnie Bibbo waits while Mr. Tennant and the class watch a demonstration at the front board in a geometry class. 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. Further evidence of his dedication to PHS is his sponsorship of the Hi-Y Club. Mrs. Lucettc Russo received her B.A. degree at Hunte College and is now teac hing algebra in our high school. She substituted at PHS before she joined the faculty last year. Mrs. Russo is the co-advisor of the Tri-Hi-Y. Miss Barbara Kruse received her B.A. degree at Douglass College. She teaches math in grades nine through eleven. She is in¬ terested in sports, and is advisor for the horse-back riding club in PHS Miss Kruse will be re¬ membered for her jolly disposi¬ tion and witty responses. PHS is happy to have Mr. Thomas Lyons celebrate his 25th year of teaching math, English and social studies this year. He received his B.A. at Manhattan College and his M.A. at Hunter College. Mr. Lyons enjoys sports and is ac¬ tive in church organizations. Mrs. Irene R. Milnor, an alumna of New York and Co¬ lumbia Universities, teaches math to freshman and sopho¬ more classes. Among Mrs. Ma¬ nor’s outside interests are music, photography and her bio- analytical laboratory. She came to PHS in 1959.
