The Delphian Weaver A club adviser possessing the experience, patience, and skill required to run a large organization is a very rare and invaluable asset, one for which we of the Delphian are more than grateful. Therefore, with great pride and appreciation, we dedicate the Delphian of 1973 to our very own Robert Boyce. Mr. Boyce has been a yearbook adviser as long as he has been teaching — twenty-two years. This is his fourteenth consecutive year at P.H.S. For eight years prior to that, he was the adviser of the Passaic Valley yearbook. Throughout this period, he has helped editor after editor through the intricacies of layouts, dummies, paginations, galleys, indexes, et cetera (no, not in that order! ). He possesses a wealth of invaluable insight and knowledge in the business of advertising, choosing themes and running heads, cutting through red tape, and solving untold other problems. Every Delphian year has its ups and downs; this year was particularly rough. Nevertheless, whenever time and deadlines started flying by too fast, and we felt ourselves struggling to keep from sinking into the mud. Mr. Boyce was always ready to roll up his sleeves, plunge elbow-deep into paperwork, and pull us out onto solid ground again. His personal fortitude sets a constant example for us to follow. In the course of a school year, Mr. Boyce resolves, organizes, befriends, enthuses, reminds, types, banters, optimizes, yells, cajoles, and educates his way into the lives and hearts of his colleagues. None of us will soon forget the unfailing dedication and determination of the man whose name many have come to regard as synonymous with “yearbook.” For all this, we — speaking for past Delphian staff members as well as present — wish to express our most sincere and deep admiration of an outstanding adviser, and a wonderful human being. 5
