To Our First Principal As Principal, Dr. Dunn address the new Honor Society members of 1965. As sportsman, Dr. Dunn attends a student-faculty game. Possessing an abundance of skill, experience, enthusiasm, concern for others and for the education of today ' s youth, Dr. Dunn, our assis¬ tant Superintendent, has been an invaluable asset in aiding the growth of the Paramus schools, both physically and qualitatively. Grateful for being so fortunate in having had Dr. Dunn in the school system and in appreciation for all he has done, we willingly dedicate this 1974 edition of the Delphian to Dr. William V. Dunn. Our respected Assistant Superintendent of Schools for General Ad¬ ministration has dedicated himself to education for thirty-nine years, devoting twenty-four years of those years to the education of the youth of Pararrtus. Coming to Paramus in 1950 when it still abounded with farms and looked more like Perrymus than Paramus, Dr. Dunn has provided the growing seeds, guidance, and a plethora of ideas for our schools. He has implemented many innovations and provided the super¬ vision needed for the growth of the entire system, from one elementary school to what it is today. When he started in Paramus in 1950, Dr. Dunn served as the ele¬ mentary school principal of Farview School (now the George W. Hod- gins School) for two years and then as the principal of Memorial School for four years. He was named the first principal of the new Paramus High School when it opened its doors in 1956. In 1962, Dr. Dunn was appointed Assistant Superintendent of Schools for the Paramus system. Following the retirement of his close friend and associate, George W. Hodgins, in 1971, Dr. Dunn served as Acting Superintendent. Al¬ though Dr. Dunn was offered the superintendency on a permanent basis, he declined the offer, but stated that he would serve until a re¬ placement could be found. Therefore, in 1972 Dr. Dunn resumed his position as Assistant Superintendent of the Pa ramus Public School System. His position as Assistant Superintendent in charge of grades K-8 4

Dr. Dunn has been responsible for curricu¬ lum development budget preparation, hiring of teachers, and other areas involving the elementary schools. He began his teaching career in Ridgefield, N. J. in 1935, where he taught mathematics and science in grades five through eight. From 1940 to 1950, he taught in Fairmont Junior High School in Hacken¬ sack, where he also served as assistant principal for two years. Then, Dr. Dunn came to Paramus in 1950. In addition to all that he does, Dr. Dunn finds time for participation in civic affairs. He has served as a trustee of the Maywood Board of Education, secretary of the Paramus Recreation Commission, president of the Paramus Boys Club and president of the Paramus Rotary Club. Among his accolades is one bestowed on him by the American Legion and the Paramus Jaycees, Outstanding Educator. It is Dr. Dunn ' s philosophy that the proper atmosphere which sup¬ ports the individual person is needed in addition to a good academic program. Dr. Dunn ' s hard work to make sure that the educational pro¬ cess in Paramus constantly fulfills the needs of each individual student is appreciated by all. His concern about each one not only as a student, but also as a person, is exemplified by his desire for each student ' s future: It is my hope that the education program of the Paramus Public Schools and the other forces which influence an individ¬ ual ' s personal development (parental guidance, religious orienta¬ tion, community environment) have provided each graduate with sufficient background and personal strength to make decisions which will contribute to individual fulfillment and a higher social order. We thank Dr. Dunn for all he has done not only as an administrator, but also as a person, and we sincerely wish him and Mrs. Dunn con¬ tinued happiness and good fortune during his well-deserved retirement. As Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Dunn culminates a fine career in public education. 5
