Richardson, one of our most beloved and respected teachers, remains foremost in our hearts. Mr. Richardson, a prominent educator and an outstanding citizen, was a man of highest principles and an inspiration to all who knew him. During his thirty years of teaching in the Perth Amboy High School, Mr. Richardson was esteemed by all as a man whose prime devotion was to his students. Those who recall his firm, yet gentle disposition and his sincere interest in helping others can rightfully feel proud to have known this fine man and true American. AMERICA TO ME OL 1956 2 t)edicated to . . MISS CLARE COULT We shall be forever grateful to the many people who have guided us through these last four years, but we owe a special note of appreciation to Miss Clare Coult to whom we, the Class of 1956, dedicate our book. As our Junior Class play director and yearbook adviser, Miss Coult gained our admiration and respect. Her un- tiring efforts inspired us and her warm smile was a con- stant source of encouragement. She will be remembered as an excellent teacher, with all the qualities that term conveys, but most of all as an understanding friend. FOREWORD Perth Amboy High School is more than the center of study in our community. It is, rather, a miniature America where young men and women learn to work and live in harmony. From every background in life we came together, each with his own purpose, each with the opportunity to realize his aim. Grad- ually, through our study of the arts and sciences, we discovered our aptitudes and potentialities; we channeled our energies toward our self-determined goals. In all our training, our teachers held before us, both in precept and example, the American ideals we all hold dear . . . fair play and courage, tolerance and understanding. Sports taught us team- work. Club activities, directed toward useful projects, brought us closer together. In classroom and laboratory, searching minds and willing hearts found the answers. Here in our smaller world we have learned the lessons of democracy that will mold our future and enable us to continue the American tradition.

Superintendant of Schools SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS AMERICA TO ME A country based on a free way of life which affords opportunities for all its citizens to reach whatever goal in life they set for themselves. A country in which we, as citizens, can think freely, act freely and live freely, where we can take advantage of all that is supplied by nature for the benefit of all individuals within its limits. A country that recognizes the dignity of man and protects his right to live according to the dictates of his conscience. Correspondingly, a country in which we must al- ways be alert to our duty and responsibility to protect for ourselves and our neighbors the free way of life which is granted to us by our people under our form of government. This is the country in which you, the members of the Class of 1956, are privileged to live. Enjoy its way of life to the fullest; but be ever mindful of your responsibility to preserve it for future classes. With best wishes, -MncMT r c SUPERINTENDENT OF' SCHOOLS BOARD OF EDUCATION Nicholas J. Post President Mrs. Morris Goldfarb Vice-President Benjamin Goldman Secretary Albert Cerulo John J. Daly Henry B. Jaglowski JAMES F. CHALMERS, A.M. Principal America to me is a land of free men and women with many rights and many responsibilities. It is a land of opportunity, where each person is of im- portance and value as an individual, where each has a heart and offers help to those less fortunate than himself. It is a melting pot—a great leveler. It is a land of automation, of technology. It is a land where, though geographically there are no new frontiers to conquer, there is a continuous challenge in our social problems, in research, in science, industry, medicine, mental health, atomics and other areas too numerous to mention. It is a land whose leaders and people are con- tinually seeking peace under God as a blessing for all mankind. The members of the Class of 1956 are welcomed into the ranks of those who are attempting to re- solve these tremendous problems. It is our sincere hope that each and every mem- ber of the Class of 1956 will accept his new responsibilities and that the efforts of all will be crowned with worthy success. cL r.arad our di emocracy.

Through our courses we improve our command of the English language and learn to express our- selves in speech and writing. Masterpieces of literature, old and new, come alive as we read them together in our classes. With the ready help of our school libra- rians, we make the acquaintance of authors who, through the years, will prove stead- fast friends, giving us pleasure as well as enlightenment.

Adviser Assembly Program Planning Committee The American spirit of neighborliness pervades our language classes. Reading in the foreign tongue, we come to know other nations and their peoples, to share their joys and sorrows. Films and slides give us glimpses of the everyday life and the cus- toms of other countries. As we learn to speak their language, or to sing their songs, as we discover depths of beauty in their art, we feel a close kinship to these people and gain a broader concept of their contributions to our culture.

In our everyday math classes, we learn the arith- metic processes used in everything from mar- keting to manufacturing, from budgeting to building. The study of higher mathematics teaches us to cultivate habits of accuracy and logical thinking; it prepares us to undertake advanced work in technical fields. In all, our courses are geared to help us keep in step with our fast-moving world. A. Estok. R. Chojnacki, D. Gtadis, L. Hagen on location for a Mathematics Department project. Leah Kirshner, B.S.Ed.

General Science gives us a preview of mysteries to be fathomed. Bi- ology leads us into the study of living things; physics explains the iaws of the inanimate; and chemistry brings us knowledge of the elements that make up our universe. We gain practical experience in the lab and in working out projects. Understanding the hows and whys of our physical and material world will lead us to search for the answers to the less tangible questions of peace, prosperity, and progress. Roland W. Tapley, M.Ed.

Ray Newman leads a discussion in an American History class. Our studies in social science made us realize that we must be active, intelligent contributors to the life of our community and our country. Ancient, modern, and world history gave perspective; American history brought into clear focus the principles and ideals by which we live. Our classes were vitalized by showing of films and by lively discussions of current events. Above all, we learned to respect the obligations imposed upon us as citizens of a free nation, and to treasure the privileges which we shall enioy as future molders of our democracy. Howard E.

No Panther eleven within memory has shown more character, more rugged de- termination to win than the '55 team led by co-captains Richie Gentile and Bob Davis. From a group composed of only eleven veteran seniors and a majority of less experienced juniors, Coach Joseph Reznichak molded a formidable attacking unit which compiled 116 points and a 4-5 record operating from the T formation. The Crimson and White got off to a bright start by drubbing East Side in their initial encounter. Although tough competition and numerous injuries in succeeding contests made the going rough, Amboy concluded a successful season by winning their final three games, including the traditional Thanks- giving Day scrimmage with Carteret.

The Panthers 13-5 mark for the season is a glowing testimonial to the job that Coach Bill Buglovsky has done. A sure-fire fast break and clever passing attack, both Buglov- sky innovations, cracked open even the best of zone or man-to-man defense and racked up a 67 point game average. Willie Nelson, 6'3 center, broke into the ranks of the top cagers in PAHS history by establishing a new scoring record of 422 points in a season, and setting a new game scoring mark of 34 points. Another solid performer was Doug Eaton, one of the top hustlers in the game and a dependable 15 point per contest scorer. With Art Silverman under the boards and Richie Tauber chipping in with his share of rebounds, the Panthers often gained the edge in the rebounding department over taller foes. Ray Newman, with his stylish playmaking, was aided by defensive star Ernie Hazell in moving the ball smoothly to set up Amboy scoring. Other reliables important to Pan- ther success included Arnie Zimmerman, Richie Gentile, Garry Chapman, and Richie Majewski. Post-season play in the Group IV tourney should find Amboy in top form and provide an opportunity for the Panthers to enhance their state-wide repu- tation.

Kartelias, R Bandola, Managei GIRLS' SPORTS Team sports and individual contests provide for a varied program of girls' intramural sports competition at PAHS. Basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, punchball, and bad- minton offer virtually unlimited opportunities for participa- tion in athletics. Miss Alice Biork and Miss Arnita Kozusko furnish sound instruction in these sports and maintain a year-round schedule of after school practice and match games, culminating in June with awards for physical im- provement and good sportsmanship. Cheerleading, an integral part of the program, holds an important place in the girls' activities calendar. School spirit runs nigh among our vivacious cheerleaders, for they not only attend all football games, but also put in long hours working out new routines. With co-head cheerleaders Kash Mikrut and Marie Otlowski at the helm, this enthusi- astic group does its share in promoting good will among athletes and fans alike. The fourteen members of the Color Guard and Twirlers, strikingly garbed in crimson and white, bring color and ex- citement to school and city parades. They lend charm and dignity to our annual band concert and add greatly to its appeal. Under the direction of Mr. Alex Hudak, head twirl- er Carol Adams, flag twirler Barbara Powell, two-baton, twirlers Susan Feldman, Linda Schlesinger, and Pat Mc- Guire, and Sergeant Eleanor Serafin ot the Color Guard, set a high example of spirited performance.

BOWLING TENNIS WRESTLING The bowling team, an offspring of Coach Joseph Kerr's bowling club, has established itself as an institution at PAHS. Matches with neighboring schools, including Woodbridge and Metuchen, have seen the Panthers vfctorious by at least 125 pins per game. - Robert Yuhasz, Richie Yuhas, and Richie Ander- ko, with individual game averages of about 140, have led Amboy in these wins, backed by the capable performance of their teammates. The Panther tennis team, under the expert guidance of Coach Gordon Koehler, Sr., is well pre- pared to meet the challenge of formidable rivals in the Union and Middlesex County Conference and come out on top. Varsity men whose past per- formance indicates a successful season include seniors Ronnie Spevack, Bob Trebowski, Bob Hochheiser, Dick Burg, and junior Shel Weinstein. The '56 wrestling team, whose members are artists in the grunt and groan department, is enjoy- ing a profitable season. Coach George Zupko, working with a light squad, has placed major emphasis on aggressiveness and agility rather than brawn. Grapplers Joe Miller, Bill Buchan, Fred Garaffa, Richard Crouse, Al Churderski, and Lloyd Feld have held the fort for this young club which is anticipating steady improvement in the next few years.

CLASS Freshman Year Remember that far-off day in September, 1952, when we crept timidly into the huge brick building that was to be our second home. We never dreamed then how quickly the four years would pass. Our days were busy and exciting. Eager to become a part of this bustling school, we joined clubs and entered into new friendships. We met Miss Ann T. Hardiman, who had joined the English Department in September. Our first football game and how we yelled! The Panthers beat East Side and we marched home, shouting to the world that we were from Amboy High and proud of it! With a feeling of importance and pride we played host to our parents at the annual Freshman Tea. Career Day speakers gave us pointers on future occupations but the time when we would really decide on our life's work seemed so far away! Although school work was difficult and our trade mark as freshmen was a stack of books each of us staggered home with in the afternoon, we willingly shed our cares to enjoy the fabulous concerts of band, orchestra, and chorus, and to dance with enthusiasm at the Mardi Gras. Watching the Class of 1957 come to PAHS for Orientation Day, we ex- perienced a decided feeling of superiority. As we said good-bye to our Alma Mater that year, we also bid good-bye to Mr. Samuel Berkowitz, who was retiring that June. i y Sophomore Year We plunged into our sophomore year with zest. It was wonderful to return and see old friends and familiar surroundings. We welcomed into the fold a congenial group of sophomores brought to us by the Edison stagecoach. Some of our joy was dimmed, however, by the knowledge that Mr. Michael Sattilaro would not be at PAHS that fall. His death during the summer was deeply mourned by all who knew him. Changes were made in the administration when Dr. William C. McGinnis, beloved by the students of PAHS, retired, leaving his post as superintendent to be ably filled by Mr. Anthony Ceres. Assuming a new position as vice- principal was Mr. Michael Stofega, whom we have come to know and to love. Our pose of sophistication was thrown aside at the pep rally when we rooted for the team. Perhaps our enthusiasm helped a little in spurring the team on to finish the football season with a 5-3 record. Friends, Ro- mans, countrymen ... How hard we worked to memorize that speech! But what fun to know it when we saw the movie version of Julius Caesar in New York. Often our musicians and twirlers entertained us. When the swing band gave out with the State Street Get-together, the auditorium walls rocked in time, along with the heels of every student present. Soon came last minute cramming and the end of our second year. HISTORY We felt about the same, looked about the same, but our status had altered. We were juniors . . . upperclassmen. Exercising our rights and | duties as citizens of PAHS, we elected officers Martha Haluska, Gail Skelton, Geraldine Kaczmarek, and Robert Kozlowski. The Junior Council immediately began to form plans for the year. The fun we all had dancing in the snowy atmosphere of Winter Wonderland, our Council’s first dance, barely topped the good time we had decorating the gym for the affair. One after another, events crowded in: the big moment when we received our rings and placed the circlets of black and gold on our fingers: the inauguration of Parents' Night; dancing in Disneyland. Our Junior Class Play, Curtain Going Up, received clamorous applause. Both stage fright and the audience were con- quered that night. Our hearts swelled with pride when twelve members of our class were elected to the National Honor Society. Will we ever forget the beautiful night of our Junior Prom? We were truly in a Dreamer's Paradise as we danced to the music of Sammy Ray and his orchestra. A few weeks later we wished Mr. William Convery success in his new position as principal of No. 4 School. How strange to watch the seniors graduate and know that we were soon to enter our last year! Yet we were filled with anticipation, for there is magic in the word senior. How wonderful it was to be a senior, the backbone of the school! Yet our happiness was made bittersweet with the thought that soon we would be leaving. We were at once plunged into a sea of activities, again under the presidency of Martha Haluska. In a school-wide contest, the name of the Periscope Annual was changed to Halls of Ivy. When the Panthers climaxed their series of home games with a smashing victory over South River and tore down the goal posts, every senior's throat ached from cheer- ing. Our Senior Play provided a pleasant evening of entertainment for our audience, as well as plenty of backstage fun for the cast. All too soon the final days of our stay at PAHS brought the Senior trip, long to be remem- bered not only for itself, but also because it was one of the last things we did as a group. And the Senior Prom. How hard we all worked decorating the gym! Yet when we arrived that evening it was as if we had stepped into a new world. Then, incredibly, we were trying on our caps and gowns, laughing and crying as we sang Auld Lang Syne at the close of our Senior Assembly program. Finally came the greatest day of all when we strode proudly across the stage to accept our diplomas. Though school days were ended, memories of the fun we shared and the lessons we learned would long linger in our hearts.
