The Delphian Phase-Maker! We of The Delphian , on behalf of the entire high school community, have been most fortunate to have a yearbook adviser possessing the pa¬ tience, skill, and experience necessary to produce a lasting momento of high school life. Therefore, it is with deep gratitude that we dedicate the 1978 Delphian to the inspiration behind this publication: Mr. Robert Boyce. Throughout every phase of development, Mr. Boyce molded the various staffs into a productive unit. During the summers and many a night, Mr. Boyce spent countless hours meeting the challenge presented by each new year. Phases ’78” is Mr. Boyce’s eighteenth consecutive yearbook at Paramus High School. His devotion is rare indeed, and we have been most fortunate to have been associated with Mr. Boyce over the years. The qualities of this one man evoke the optimum creativity, produc¬ tivity, and enthusiasm from all who work with him. f rom pagination to print, Mr. Boyce has always assured the realization of what began as only a vague conception. Mr. Boyce ... we thank you, we applaud you, we salute you!
