At Paramus High School, the Par¬ ent’s Council serves as a liaison group between the parents and the admin¬ istration. Once a month, under the guidance of Mr. Joseph McDonough, Principal, this group meets to discuss various activities, programs, and prob¬ lems which are of major concern to both students and their parents. This program first began in 1957, as an attempt to familiarize parents with the teachers, the school, and the cur¬ riculum. It has grown since then and it has been a success because of the contributions of parents, thus benefit¬ ing both the students and the school. Such events as Back-to-School Night, drug programs for parents, guidance meetings for parents, and the ever famous Parent-Teacher Scholarship Show are sponsored by the Parent Coun¬ cil. This program is to raise scholar¬ ship money for deserving senior grad¬ uates, in order to provide them with financial assistance in continuing their education. Parent Council...

To Mrs. Adele Stern • • • A Warm Welcome Mrs. Adele Stern Vice-Principal in charge of Curriculum This year Paramus High School would like to welcome Mrs. Adele Stern as a new member to its administrative staff. Serving in the capacity of vice-principal, Mrs. Stern is in charge of the current curriculum and all co-curricula activities. Coming to Paramus from Montclair High School, Mrs. Stern is able to bring with her all the experiences and knowledge that she has gained in the past. Mrs. Stern, a world-wide traveller and a graduate of the Sorbonne in Paris, has been an English teacher for over thirty years. She has also served on the National Council of Teachers of English as well as local, county, and state associations. Mrs. Stern is a woman who exudes warmth and friendli¬ ness in all that she does. One has only to step inside her office to get a glimpse of her many activities and constant involvement. In trying to meet and get to know students in all phases of school life, Mrs. Stern has been a visitor to many classes and clubs. She also makes her time available to those individual students who seek her advice in handling any problems that may arise. After starting off every morning with the reading of the announcements, Mrs. Stern must then get down to the busi¬ ness of meetings and class visitations that fill each day. Mrs. Adele Stern may be considered as a true asset to this school; her value is constantly increasing. and A Nice Stay! “Have a nice day!” Our morning announcer, Mrs. Adele Stem, is about to read the announcements over the P.A. system. 13
