It was in making education not only common to all, but in some sense compulsory on all, that the destiny of the free republics of America was settled . . . wrote James Russell Lowell. These words of profound truth, expressed many years ago, have guided in many ways, the actions of our Board of Education. This group of devoted individuals give of their time and service along with their other respon¬ sibilities, to supervise a vast and important system. Their tireless effort on behalf of the welfare of students is clearly evident in the reputation of the Paramus Public School System. American education ' s ideal has its parallel in the achievements of the Paramus Public School System, through the efforts of the Board of Educa¬ tion. Dr. James Bryant Conant, the distinguished educator, expresses this by stating, the primary concern of American education today is ... to cultivate in the largest number of our future citizens an appreciation both of the responsibilities and the benefits which come to them.

Guidance ... A shining lamp in the darkness of decision Florence Dutcher Senior Counselor Organizing and maintaining a variety of student records, counseling individuals, testing students, providing information on college entrance requirements, military service, and occupations, and offering a job placement service with follow-up studies of graduates and drop-outs are some of the major services of the Guidance Depart¬ ment. Students are helped in understanding themselves, and in planning their programs realistically, by seeing them¬ selves in relation to the whole school. These aims are carried out by the four counselors, each of whom is responsible for the direction and coordina¬ tion of the various guidance activities. This capable department enables each and every stu¬ dent to envision it as his shining lamp in the darkness of indecision.
