life's Canvas Dedication There were mony moster pointers who directed us and helped us complete our Life s Canvas; to them we ore ever grateful. We will always remember them and what they did for us. but none will be more warmly remembered than Miss Rae Goldstein to whom we. the Class of 1955, dedicate our yearbook. Miss Goldstein was adviser to our Junior and Senior councils ond in this capacity guided us over many pitfalls. Her inexhaustible energy ond lively spirit were the main factors in making our class the tremendous success it was. We will never forget the lessons she taught, the advice she gave, and the spirit she instilled in us. Miss Goldstein has rightly earned an undying place in our hearts.

Page 69 Foreword We, the Class of 1955, are the artists who have completed the first canvas of our life, and are ready to make our debut before the critics of the world. Perth Amboy High School was the school we entered as apprentices wanting to learn skill, develop logical reasoning, and to obtain the best and newest methods of painting a good canvas. Our advisers immediately gave us our palettes, brushes, easels and paints; then they laid our canvas before us. On this white form, we each began to sketch in our own thoughts lightly. Com- bining these preliminary ideas, we realized that our most promising subject would be knowledge. Experimentation in blending for uniformity proved that we had to use the school activities we experi- enced as a background for our main theme. We worked well together and made few mistakes: the splashes of color that didn't blend were painted over and corrected. We were taught through books and actual situa- tions that black tones of sad moments served well to make the red tints of joyous ones more predomi- nant. As artists we were learning how to apply the rudiments of painting to other fields. Each day everyone of us added a stroke more to this our Life's Canvas making it more beautiful tind com- plete. The more we worked the bolder our strokes became. We now feel prepared to face the critics who will judge our work. We know in the future we will paint better canvases, but only because of the experience we gained working together on our own Life's Canvas. It will always be heart warming to refer to our first work. KARLENE DOUKAS D,'o OL CLu of ’55 Contributions to the development ot man made by the various races and civilizations are very often portrayed on canvas for the benefit of posterity. On canvas, the artist describes steps in the progress of humanity as seen by him and depicts human progress as it has developed since the begin- ning of time. So through 'Life’s Canvas you see and benefit by what others hove done and, simi- larly, future generations will see what you have done by observing your contributions to the history of your country and community. It is my sincere hope that during your years of attendance in the Perth Amboy High School we have assisted you in absorbing knowledge and in developing the kind of character that will make it possible for you to contribute to the welfare of our country so that a portrayal of your life's canvas will show a happy, successful group with a deep understanding of its rights, and more important, its responsibilities and obligations to church, country, family, and colleagues. Then some future artist will portray on canvas your contributions to mankind from which future generations may profit —just as you have from those of your predecessors. With best wishes to the Class of '55, ANTHONY V. CERES 6 Jhe d oard Anthony V. Ceres, LL.B.. M.Ed. Superintendent of Schools Gilbert P. Augustine President Nicholas J. Post Vice-President Henry B.

Their post achieve- ments have been recorded and they have performed well. The future is hidden in the scroll, but who knows that each as the poet John Townsend Trowbridge says, Outlined in Fame's illusive light May stalk, a silhouette sublime Across the canvas of his time. The Faculty joins with me in the wish that life’s canvas of the future will portray for the Class of 1955 many successes and much happiness in a world of peace under Sod. JAMES F. CHALMERS James F.

As the English Deportment introduced us to and set us to using the priceless spectrum of our own language, the quality of our canvas became finer. We spent four years learning new words, using correct idioms and grammar, writing compositions, and reading the best literature of both the past and the present. Public Speaking taught us how to paint vivid word pictures; Journalism gave further opportunity for self expression. Our Library offered a wealth of material. The glow from these experiences will always illumine our lives. Leah Kirshner B.S. Ed.

To help us, our Mathematics Department provided us with an equation for success to be balanced with precise and logical thinking. Everyday Math and Algebra supplied the background for stating the problem correctly. Plane and Solid Geometry allowed us to picture the given facts and develop them through deductive reasoning. The chain of thought was com- pleted and a conclusion was reached through Trigonometry. Then, from experience gained in Math Analysis classes, we were able to derive a general formula for our problem.

Dvorscholr, M.Ed. Adviser, Biology Club From Adam to Atom! Our four years of scientific study lead us from the simplicity of primitive plant and animal life to the intricacy of advanced physics and chemistry. General Science sketched the funda- mentals of the world about us. Biology increased our scientific experience by adding the rudiments of Botany and Zoology to our knowledge, while Physics etched in the material world. Chemistry took us from al (aluminum) to zn (zinc) in an unforgettable study of the elements. Thus, under the able instruction of Mr. Tapley and his excellent staff, the mysteries of the world in which we live have unfolded on our canvas. 15 Leo W. Klein, A.B.

The painting of World History has never been completed. The glow of tomorrow's destiny con- stantly brightens the faint hue of yesterday. We hove been taught by the Social Studies Department how to analyze the shadows of the past so that we may wisely contribute to the Democracy of our country. After having studied the problems of Early European and American History, we appre- ciate the value of peace. Our citizenship classes stressed the important role that the Federal and State government, as well as every individual, must play in its achievement. Now we must apply our brushes to the page in history on which we will represent the citizens of today's America. 17 we con structecl our ccinuaS George Seaman, B.S.Ed.

The faculty of our Manual Arts Department trains the hands of students to become proficient in the crafts. The well-carved frame for our canvas was made in our Manual Arjs Department. In the workshops students had the joy of learning to design and create articles with their own hands. Our printers developed techniques which could be compared to the work of professionals. Without the co-operation of the Photography Department the Periscope and Annual would not have been able to capture memorable school events. The entire school benefited by the efforts of this department. Dave Thomas’ skilled fingers add final touches to his project. The woodwork students developed their creative talents and produced many beautiful and useful things. Albert Huntress Adviser, Angling Club David Lapp M.Ed. Thomas J.

In the food division they learned how to create tempting, well-balanced meals. Film strips illustrated the many variations possible for common dishes. The girls in this branch were also shown how to save time at housekeeping. The creative sewing course enabled many to make modish clothes from plain materials. They mastered the sewing machine and its numerous attachments while perfecting their artistic talents. Their achieve- ments were displayed at the annual Home Eco- nomics Fashion Show.

Janderup On Leave John V. Seaman A.M. in Mu.Ed. Adviser, Keyboard, Glee and Record Collectors Clubs Music was the soft tone that gave a touch of refinement to our canvas. In Music Appreciation class we listened with pleasure to the works of the old masters and analyzed them, while in Swing Band assemblies we swayed and clapped our hands to the modern beat of the State Street Kentons. From the music and band rooms came well prepared artists. Mr. Seaman's theory courses provided a solid foundation for our more talented musicians; Mr. Hudak’s instrument lessons were the basis of a fine orchestra. The recitals and concerts given by the Music Department were the final proof of the program's worth. Students of a music theory class enrich their musical background as Eleanor Tallarico explains the development of a composition by Wagner. Forest Corley, A.B. Band, Orchestra S. Varga, R. Vargo, B. Wasi- leski, P. Theis, D. Rhodes, J. Demcoe enjoy applying the various art mediums. The Stardust is transposed onto the sketching boards of Richard Ratajczak, David Staf- ford and Joseph Melchisky. The true artists discovered a perfect outlet for their talents in the Art Depart- ment. There they learned everything from pencil sketching to oil painting. The school's clubs ond councils kept them busy making posters, stage backgrounds, and Prom decorations. It was a novelty to find a bulletin board which was not covered with masterpieces from Room 233. Outdoor sketching assignments were eagerly awaited by all and, strange as it seems, a new subject could always be dis- covered on or adjacent to the school's grounds. The experience gained while working on these projects and many more was an invaluable asset to Life’s Canvas. Anne H. Massopust, B.S. Head of Department Ida Dressier, B.S.Ed.

Totin, Chismar and Richardson make decorations for Junior Prom, Ebb Tide . We may think of our high school career os a painting done in oil, on outstand- ing and permanent work in our lifetime collection. Orientation Day—May, 1951 — This was our introduction to high school, the conception of the picture. That Septem- ber we became the Freshman Class. At the same time we joined the student body, Mr. Sattur and Mrs. Clawans joined the faculty. Events crowded upon us os we attended our first pep rally, experienced the horror of the Patch Test and gasped upon hearing of a Grasshopper Special, fried in Mr. Dvorschak's Biology class. We were preparing a palette of colorful experiences. Clubs were joined and all took part in our first Career Day. None of us will ever forget the chapels featuring the Five Sharps whose theme was Let's Harmonize or Mike Kodan's famous Jerry Lewis act. On the first Honor Roll, our class led the school with twenty-one honor students. Seventeen frosh became Periscope cub reporters as happenings scurried past: the I Oth Band Concert, Student Day, the Eye Glass Fund Show and the Senior and Junior Class plays. The Panther Eleven gained top county position by a thrilling win over South Plainfield and then tied Plainfield for the Central Jersey Group IV championship. Unusual was the word for our uncle-nephew team, Bob and Bill Gatyas. Remember our first dance, the Junior Class's successful Foot Ball'', and then the Mardi Gras ruled by Joan Novak and Steve Kapiton? In the storybook setting of a school romance Miss Rosenshein and Mr. Herbert were married. The first Youth Week was celebrated with Winston Hughes, Michael Daly and Richard Nielsen elected City Commissioners. Our parents caught their first glimpse of this sketch of our high school life at our Freshman Tea. Before them was a canvas, outlined clearly with bold lines, yet to be painted. The picture began to take on color in our sophomore year with changes evident here and there. In our classrooms we found newly installed fluorescent lights and desks: on the faculty, Miss Ann Hordiman had become a new member of the English Department and adviser to the Periscope, a position left vacant when Mr. Wolfe resigned during the summer. Do you recall watching the electric gym curtain being put up piece by piece and the halls resounding to the new school song, The Panther ? Under a new marking system we sophomores led the Honor Roll once more. But all was not study. Fair weather found some energetic students, the Active Club, bicycling with Mr. Kerr. Then on Sophomore-Junior Night we teamed up with the lower-uppers to introduce and entertain our parents. Remember how we laughed upon hearing about the Turkey Day dunkings in the stadium showers? Good sports- manship reigned when the Saint Mary's Track Team and our own Red Men trained together in the corridors of our school. That February Donnie Nogan and Mary Jane Maloney won the coveted Mardi Gras crowns. Soon after, the Perry received honors in a notional tuberculosis contest. The end of our second year was grayed a little when Mr. Berkowitz, popular General Science teacher, resigned from the faculty. By now the convas was filling in with some brightly painted sections standing out. And then we were no longer sophomores, but upperclassmen. New depth and meaning were added to the canvas during our junior year. On our return to school all were saddened upon hearing of the untimely death of by ISABEL BLUM Mr. Michael Sattilaro whose friendly Spanish classes and beautiful Pan-American Day assemblies will never be forgotten. As our class became organized, we elected Audrey Chismar, Cedric Richardson, Lucille Mikrut and Karlene Doukas to direct us. In November Dr. William C. McGinnis, respected Superintendent of Schools, retired after twenty-four years of service. Our Vice-Principal, Mr. Anthony V. Ceres, suc- ceeded to his position while Mr. Michael Stofega became the new Vice-Principal. Remember all the wrong numbers when the dial telephone system came into use? Bob Holup had the right number, however, when he made the All American Track Team. A fine feeling prevailed in the school when Ronnie Ernish, Bob Estok and Al Roznicki fulfilled the request of a critically ill nine-year old state ward by presenting him with a real used football '. Highlighting the football season was the Panther Harvest Dance. Remember how we anticipated Mr. William Buglovskys first season as our basketboll coach? A colorful stroke of the brush was our Junior Class Play, No Boys Allowed , which by count drew three hundred laughs! In February two major events took place—the arrival of our class rings and our joining the seniors in sponsoring My Funny Valentine Dance . As spring approached, the 55 Yeorbook and Periscope staffs were selected with Donald Rothman being appointed Editor-in- Chief of the Periscope. A brilliant section of the canvas was painted in May—our Junior Prom where couples swayed to the theme of Ebb Tide . Then, all too soon, it was over. Nothing remained to be completed on our painting but the finishing touches. Our senior year brought character into the canvas of our life. Senior class officers Cedric Richardson, Barbara Waseleski, Lucille Mikrut, and Karlene Doukas reorganized the class. In accordance with the decision of Congress, we found our- selves adding the words under God to the pledge of allegiance as was the rest of the nation. Opening the social season was the Senior Council's Spooks' Spree . Remember our amazement at the clever costumes of the dancers? The football season showed us a light but spirited team. The Panthers won their opening fray against East Side and gave the other teams a good fight. It was at this time approximately that our parents and teachers came together for our Junior-Senior Night, the first of many lasts . Our next big event was the hilarious Senior Play, Girl Shy . When the curtain closed, we applauded our second hit show under the capable direction of Mrs. Poliak. We of 55 chose 'Non confectum, modo inceptum— Not finished, just begun as our motto; Red and White—symbols of courage, bravery, patriotism and purity as our class colors; and the Red Rose—symbol of love, as our flower. The final strokes came all too quickly. Remember the Senior Party when we began to realize how close we were to graduation? The Senior Trip was exciting—but shaded with overtones of wistfulness. How we cried at the Senior Assembly and thrilled at our gala Senior Prom. Finally graduation arrived, the unveiling of this canvas we had painted, goal toward which we had worked four years. We have placed Life's Canvas on permanent exhibition in this our 1955 Periscope so that, though its colors may be dimmed by Time, the picture will preserve our memories.
