Slotkin Hidden from the familiar sights of Paramus High School’s crowded halls, hurried students, and teachers, are the Board of Education secretaries. Although they are somewhat removed from the mainstream of academic pursuits, they per¬ form an important function in the mechanics of our school life. These secretaries perform the duties of payroll and budgetary control clerks. They consolidate all records and services for the Paramus school system. Respon¬ sibility for the use of school facilities is under their domain. In addition to these functions, each secretary acts as an assis¬ tant to a member of the Board of Education. These hard-working ladies perform an invaluable service for our school and our com¬ munity. Mrs. D. Woardell and her as¬ sistants play an important role in the operations of the school. Among their many duties are the following: handling report cards, typing letters, answering phones, and distributing sup¬ plies. These ladies also keep track of our bills, and greet and help all visitors to the school. This year, with the division of the school into three separate houses, the secretarial force also has been divided into separate areas to meet the needs of each house. 14 Back Row: Mrs. Bertha Styles, Mrs. Jean Harding, Mrs. Cynthia King, Mrs. Evelyn Baillie.

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

Many thanks are due to our cafeteria staff, whose friendly, courteous service helps to make lunchtime so enjoyable. Serviced by the Pomptonian Caterers, the cafeteria serves meals which are well-prepared, well-balanced, and economical too. In addition this year students were able to take full advantage of the breakfast snack bar, with hot chocolate and bagels making the morning much brighter and enabling the students to start the day with a good breakfast. Along with some innovations, the cafeteria continues to retain the two important qualities: good, inexpensive food, and swift, courteous service, that help to make lunchtime such a pleasure.
