Our Two Specialists Well deserved applause is hereby given to Mr. John J. LeRose, Vice-Principal of Paramus High School in charge of Computer Services. In a new position Mr. LeRose ' s energies are employed in coordinating all the electronic data processing which the high school requires. This job includes all course scheduling for high school students, report and programming and printing, and the scheduling of all daily transportation to and from all Paramus schools. All data processing is accomplished with the aid of a computer located in the Educational Development Center of the Board of Education. At the beginning of the 1973-1974 school year, Mr. LeRose vacated his House Two office and established himself in the Board of Education, where he was in charge of the entire Paramus School System Budget. At present, Mr. LeRose is in charge of all school related material which goes through the computer. Many plans are being born in Mr. LeRose ' s office. For instance, the report card system has been revised in a manner which elimi¬ nated time consuming envelope stuffing by using a carbon-paper system enabling the printing of the card right through the en¬ velope. In addition to processing report cards for every high school student, those of the students in eighth and ninth grades will soon be processed in this manner. Extensive and innovative ideas coping with the dilemmas of a continually growing school system are formulated in Mr. LeRose ' s department. Expansion of the Paramus School System brings with it many new and challenging problems. We can all remain confident knowing that Mr. LeRose is there to manipulate these difficulties. We wish him many years of success and happiness in this position within the Paramus School System. In his second year as Director of Research, Evaluation and Plan¬ ning, Mr. Joseph P. McDonough has retained the policy of student individuality beyond comparison to metropolitan and national norms. In the area of Research, Mr. McDonough has been instrumental in the evolution of test results from simply a general comparison, to separate individual ones. Each test is accompanied not only with a set of corrections, but the subject area associated with it. This is sent to the teacher who is able to help the student where he is weak. Though only in use for two years, the procedure is revolutionary and ideal, one long awaited by both teacher and student. It is the hope of Mr. McDonough and Superintendant of Schools Paul Shelly, that this will utilize any testing program and help the individual insti¬ tutions ' major approach and at the same time reshape the form of the test results to be helpful to the students. Evaluation and Planning come together in Mr. McDonough ' s consideration of new courses. When a staff member, teacher or administrator, formulates the basic subject matter outline for a new course, and it is submitted to the Curriculum Council, they in turn give it to Mr. McDonough who researches it against any previous course already instituted, and analyzes both its strong and weak points. It must offer something new, never before given. Successful courses to come out of Mr. McDonough ' s office, and the Council ' s chambers, are Computer Science, Creative Living, in the Junior High Schools, modifications in the Journalism Course, Man-Made World, Philosophy, and other Mini-Courses. In the office of Mr. Joseph P. McDonough, the atmosphere is amicable. He possesses a sincere liking for young people and urges any Triple-E students wishing to learn about office procedures, national resources and utilities, to come, and work there. Our sincerest hope, is that as he has done in the past, so will he do in the future. Mr. John J. LeRose Vice-Principal Computer Services

Hearty Welcome! STANDING: Diane Calatozzo, Rick Lev, Hank Rottenberg, Mrs. B. Vanderbeek, Rich Rothschild, Alan Buff, Cathy Shamieh, Ellen Schimmeh, Paul Rotella, Jay Rawitz, John Cuppi, John DeGhetto, Jr., Marjorie Esterow, Sue Bellomo, Bill Sanders, Dave Zitelli. SITTING: Mr. David Broffman, Mark Rottenberg, Mrs. Adele Stem. Mr. Broffman ' s first year as principal of Paramus High School brought with it the birth of a new organization entitled the Student Advisory Board. Serving as a sounding block for Mr. Broffman ' s ideas, it is a vehicle of communication between the administrators and a cross-section of the student body. Leaders within the school, such as students elected to positions of importance (e.g. editors of school publications and student council officers), compose the core of council. HoweVer, almost all facets of student life are represented among the twenty to twenty five students appointed to the council. This council enables Mr. Broffman to feel the pulse of the school directly. Basically, board meetings are rap sessions, in which the rapport between the administrators and students present facilitate serious criticism and scrutinization of any aspect or policy related to the high school. Direct action in response to any problem or point of question which may arise at the board ' s meetings does not come from them. Purposely created to be a dialogue group, any recommendations for change or action it deems necessary are forwarded to the Student Council. Due to this policy, interaction and cooperation among organizations within the governmental structure of the school are encouraged and reinforced. Existing as a parent organization, with respect to this board, is the Advisory Council, composed of the school administrators, department heads and library personnel. With Mr. Broffman as helmsman these two organizations work in a cooperative effort with many other committees to improve upon and evaluate the diverse aspects of our school. 13
