and his staff have faith in that future With that far-away look in his eyes. Mr. Dunn is seen engaged in one of his favorite pastimes, that of watching intensely all the school games in which the Spartans so actively participate. Mr. William V. Dunn Each page of this yearbook is a treasury of memories for me. Whenever reviewing this book, I am able to feel the spirit of Paramus High School. As a guide for people who have not had the opportunity to live in Paramus High School, I, as principal, would like to point out some basic characteristics of our school. In Paramus High School, emphasis is placed on the importance of the individual person whether he is a student, teacher, office secretary, custodian, bus driver or cafeteria worker. Each person is treated with respect and allowances are made for individuality. All people who live in this school community are encouraged by the general atmosphere of being concerned with the happiness and success of others. Paramus High School is a busy place. Citizens of our school community work diligently and receive the inner satisfaction that comes with accomplishment as individuals and as a group. I hope that each person who examines this yearbook will derive great personal satisfaction and inspiration from the pictures of wholesome young American youth and the chronicle of their activities as they approach maturity and citizenship in our great country.

helping us to mold our futures. Our well-organized Guidance Department is composed of a director and three counselors, each of which is a counselor for a particular class. Their jobs cover many areas which include helping with curriculum choices, finding part- time employment, counseling students about col¬ lege preparation procedures, and supplying information concerning possible careers. In the eighth grade, the Guidance Department begins its job of helping students in their selec¬ tion of possible courses. Aptitude and interest tests are taken, but the final decision rests with the student and his parents. Additional counsel¬ ing of course offerings is given as the student progresses through his four years of high school. During the junior and senior years, much time is devoted to the selection of schools of higher learning. Many career conferences are held for interested students at which representatives, from all over the country speak. Occupational guidance is also offered to those who do not elect to take additional training in schools and colleges beyond high school. Robert B.
