Able Administrator Mr. Wesley Van Pelt As Secretary to the Board of Education and Business Manager of the Paramus Schools, Mr. Wesley Van Pelt has an exacting but important position which he performs with complete mastery and great skill. Mr. George W. Hodgins Our Superintendent of Schools, Mr. George W. Hodgins, has very capably guided the Paramus schools for more than a decade from a small beginning to the large complex system of today. Mr. Lincoln Koenig With his headquarters in the Board of Education Office, Mr. Lincoln Koenig, as Director of Maintenance of the Paramus Public School System, is responsible for the upkeep of all school buildings and property in the high school and throughout the system. Mr. Ralph J. Mele As Mr. Hodgins ' Assistant, Mr. Ralph J. Mele has charge of student transportation and prepares for publication of the Board of Education ' s Newsletter, which acquaints the public with the latest information concerning school regulations. Each new issue of the Delphian marks another year in the short but eventful history of Paramus High School. This year is particularly memorable for all of us since it is highlighted by the accreditation of Paramus High School by the Middle States Associa¬ tion of Secondary Schools and Colleges which indicates that our school is recognized for the high quality of its educational program. Our rapidly changing democracy calls for vigorous accomplishment of the type that is evident among our staff and pupils. It is my hope that Paramus High School students will always have a proper concern for excellence and will fully realize the contribution that education mutt make in the development of the individual and the nation. The energetic members of the yearbook staff have combined their efforts to record the varied activities which contribute toward the fullest development of our school group. Paramus is proud of the Delphian. —George W. Hodgins, Superintendent of Schools And Assistants. 9

Our Principal . . . Mr. William V. Dunn Principal Souvenirs serve as reminders of memorable occasions and places. They come to life readily when we can associate them with people. While reviewing all the chronology of the 1961-62 school year in Paramus High as presented by picture and prose, I suggest you study the people to get the true flavor of our school. Souvenirs have different connotations to different people just as high school experiences have had different meaning to each of us. It is the hope of the professional staff that there has been sufficient breadth of experience offered in our school program to have meaning for each individual student. Our goals for all are the same — to develop each person to his capacity intellectually, socially, and physically during his adolescent years and to provide a base for his continuing development in his adult years. The interaction of knowledge, training and experience, one fulfilling the other, and the integration of all learning into improved personal and group living constitute a measure of true educational achievement. Each of us gains this fulfillment in a unique way. In the years to come, I trust that the people, places, and events portrayed in the Delphian will become more and more meaningful, especially to the members of the Class of 1962. Their contributions to all of us in Paramus High School have been many and their development as individuals and as a group have been very satisfying. Their future should be rewarding. —William V. Dunn, Principal And His Principals. Mrs. Margaret Nigro, Assistant Principal, is in charge of all the activities in our school as well as sponsoring the Student Council. Mr. Richard Webster, Vice-Principal, is in charge of discipline and reads the announcements every morning over the public address system. 11
