To act in an advisory capacity on all school matters concerning parents and students is the basic function of the Parents’ Council of Paramus High School. By bringing a closer understanding of the school’s pro¬ gram to the parents, the Council hopes to establish better rapport between the school and the home. Meeting once a month, the Council discusses the various programs and the activities of the high school, and advises the administration on these procedures. Several special programs are planned during the school year. Two of these are the popular Back- to-School” night, held early in the school year, to acquaint parents with their sons’ and daughters’ schedules, and the annual Parent-Teacher Council Scholarship Show, the proceeds of which will help some deserving graduating seniors to further their educational careers.

Deans of Decision John J. LeRose, Vice-Principal Joseph P. McDonough, Principal Michael A. Azzolino, Vice-Principal All decisions relative to the operation of Paramus High School rest ultimately with Mr. Joseph P. McDonough, Principal. Among his many duties as overseer, Mr. McDonough evaluates each member of the faculty, meets regularly with department chairmen, and attends many night-time functions, whether a sports event, a social occasion, or a special per¬ formance. In charge of discipline is Mr. John J. LeRose, one of the two vice-principals. It is Mr. LeRose’s duty also to be re¬ sponsible for the budgets of the various organizations, and to make the announcements over the public address system. Mr. Michael A. Azzolino, the other vice-principal, has the huge task of scheduling the students’ programs and mak¬ ing any adjustments which arise. He is also in charge of selecting the order of periods for assemblies and deciding which groups will attend what assemblies. 12
