Fifty teachers had spent several months preparing for the opening by meeting at night with the school’s first principal, William Dunn. Curriculum and textbooks were decided upon, and a student council system was set up. When the students first arrived, it was up to the student council to organize the school activities, to decide on the school colors and a nickname, and other¬ wise to prepare the school for its existence, all under the supervision of the teachers. Now twenty-five years later, only eight of those original fifty teachers remain at Paramus High School. For a quarter of a century, these eight teachers have seen Pa¬ ramus High School grow, students come and go, and atti¬ tudes change. Curriculum has changed to adapt to the needs of the students, and the school’s position in the community has changed. But through all of this change, the teachers have remained essentially the same. This is fortunate, for the teachers are the heart and soul of Pa¬ ramus High School, without whom the school would cease to function. It is, therefore, with great pride that we of the Delphian staff dedicate this twenty-fifth edition in part to those teachers who have dedicated a quarter of a century to Paramus High School: Anita Arencibia, Mary Beilina, Ruby Bishar, Herbert Hoeland, Daniel Jankelunas, Rob¬ ert Kingsley, Louis Lanzalotto, and Frederick Rapp. Back Row: Robert Kingsley, Physical Education, Daniel Jankelunas, Supervisor, Mathematics Department, Frederick Rapp, Business, Herbert Hoeland, Supervisor, Physical Education Department, Louis Lanzalotto, Supervisor, Social Studies Department.
