Designed by the Senior Class Perth Amboy High School Perth Amboy New Jersey 4 Dedication MISS CLARA PETERSEN We shall recall many teachers with much affection, and none more fondly than Miss Clara Petersen, our instructor in Senior English. Miss Petersen's constructive criticism and valuable counsel are marks of genuine interest sincerely offered. Her ability and dedication to her work, her wisdom and dignity, her subtle sense of humor have won for her the esteem and devotion of all her pupils. Exacting in her standards, Miss Petersen has given us many things, but most important of all, she has led us to a clearer understanding and true appreciation of the arts and inspired us to go beyond classroom learning. It is with deep respect and admiration that we dedicate our book to Miss Petersen. 4 Foreword Looking back over our four years of high school, we realize that we have created a pattern, with each individual in the Class of '57 contributing his own personality and efforts to its development. Each of us began with one simple line. Association with our administra- tors, teachers, and fellow students provided motivation and guid- ance for this line to flow smoothly. As we acquired knowledge in our classes, the basic design was strengthened. As we discovered new outlets for our interests, the directions broadened. As we grew united, our paths merged and blended, giving harmonious form to our pattern. With each section of our book representing a vital segment in our design, we have tried to show how the component factors in our high school education have prepared us to assume our places in the complex pattern of life. In Memoriam The sudden death of Mr. Raymond Mejdak last December was a great shock to all of us and cause for deep sorrow. Mr. Mejdak taught mathematics in our high school for over twenty-one years. He was very patient and understanding, always more than willing to help us. Wishing to share the pleasure he experienced in playing chess, he founded and advised the Chess Club. He contributed a great deal to the culture of the community. A talented poet and musician, he composed a requiem mass which was performed several years ago in memory of his father. Earnest, gentle, kindly, a person of diversified interests and tastes, Mr. Mejdak made a very real contribution to our world. He will be sorely missed in these Halls of Ivy. MR.

POST President MRS. MORRIS GOLDFARB Vice-President BENJAMIN GOLDMAN Secretary Board of Education Superintendent of Schools ANTHONY V. CERES, LL.B., M.Ed. Superintendent of Schools Social, economic, and political conditions and patterns are ever changing. As patterns in our world change, it is necessary that patterns of education change with them in order to make it possible for you, our pupils, to receive the kind of training which will enable you to cope successfully with the ever changing conditions of life. It is the aim of our school to develop patterns which conform to your individual needs so that you may have the opportunity to develop into good citizens with a background that will make it possible for you to find your place in our ever changing economic world and to have an understanding of spiritual values which will aid you in developing a full and happy life. It is my wish that when you leave our High School, you will take with you our pattern and that you will build on it until you develop a pattern which holds the formula for success. 11 The members of the Class of '57 have com- pleted their four years within the walls of Perth Amboy High School. Each has developed a pattern of educational growth based upon his indicated de- sires and needs. These patterns are alike and yet they are all different. Basic fundamentals appear throughout but today it is apparent that the total of your experiences has produced individuals of varied character, personality, and degrees of achievement. The world is in a state of constant turmoil. There are many demands that you forego the right for the sake of expediency. It is the earnest hope of the entire Faculty that the Class of ’57, indi- vidually and collectively, include in its pattern of success for the future, a continued dedication to high purposes and a steadfast faith in God to the end that right and justice shall prevail. 12 A new duplicating machine, used to copy school records, is tested by Mr. Chalmers. stration Mr. Stofega, Mr. Ceres, and Mr. Chal- mers look concerned during a critical moment on the gridiron. MICHAEL E. STOFEGA, LL.B., M.Ed. Vice-Principal Best wishes to the class of '57 for happiness and success. Mr. Stofega chats with Mr. and Mrs. Murray Gast. visitors on Parents Night. Attendance Officers: John Godleslcy (chief), Floyd Baumgartner, John W. Brooks, and Oscar Anderson. Attendance Department Through the work of the Attendance Department, our pattern begins to take a definite shape. We learn the value of punctuality and compliance with rules, the importance of regular attendance and a complete high school education. If we must be absent for an extended period, we are kept informed about homework assign- ments; tutoring is arranged if necessary. The precepts of this department teach us that consistency of effort benefits the pupil, class, institution, and society. Joan Yaniak, student-secretary to Miss Crockett, tiles enrollment records in the Attendance Office. Alice Cladek Tillie Cheuse Secretary to the Principal Rose S. Poliak 14 Questionnaires on student reaction to Career Day are reviewed by Miss Glancy, Miss Goldstein, and Mrs. Herbert. Edward Herbert LL.B., M.Ed. Director, Guidance and Special Services Guidance Department Helpful counseling on educational, vocational, and personal problems influences the pattern of our lives. Group guidance in home rooms with student discussion leaders lends added assistance. With the department heads, the counselors plan schedules, administer tests, and file explicit records. Part and full time jobs are ob- tained through the placement service. Community schol- arships are awarded to worthy applicants. The activities of this department offer stimulating ideas for develop- ing life's blueprint. 8eclcyann Byers and Joseph Balogh check college requirements in the Guidance Office.

Benjamin Beclthoff A.M. Catherine Glancy A.M. Counselor to Junior and Senior Girls English Department J. Woodford Hone M.Ed. English is essential to every line in the pattern of life. The study of great literature opens new directions. Reading provides cultural enrichment and contributes to our understanding of all subjects. Our command of Eng- lish is improved through vocabulary building and writing. Public speaking betters oral interpretation: journalistic training is put to practical use by working on the school publications. The segments of our design are joined through the forms of communication we master in English. French students, Lois Zetkulic, Jeanne Smal- ley, and Nancy Churko represent PAHS at the annual Language Conference at Rut- gers University. Winifred Jensen A.M. Department Head Dorothy H. Cobb A.B. English Adviser, German Club Language Department Mastery of another language adds variety to the paths we follow. A foundation may first be laid with Latin; or the student may begin directly to think and speak in French, Spanish, or German. As our comprehension progresses, our reading material becomes more advanced until we are able to enjoy the literature of foreign authors, old and new. We live vicar- iously with the people of other countries through movies and slides. An insight into the culture of our world neighbors may avoid obstacles in today’s troubled times. Clare Coult A.M. Adviser, Cercle Francais, Halls of Ivy Vincenxa Esposito A.B. Adviser, El Circulo Espanol W. Earle Gehman A.B. English Adviser, Inter Nos Lance Balint, Joan Pedersen, Gerald Smith, Virginia Boeddinghaus, Joanne Pedersen, and Ronald Johnson supplement their usual classroom activities by viewing slides about early Spanish history.

Adviser, Romani Hodierni A giant slide rule facilitates learning for Solid Geometry students, Kenneth Blanchard. Donald Achenberg, and Ray- mond Baker. Ferdinand Kertes A.M. Marlene Glaser and Richard Kruppa show Mr. Parnes that they have prepared their home- work well. Mathematics Department As well as being the tool of all other sciences, mathematics is necessary in business and for ordinary activities performed count- less times every day. After acquiring basic number concepts, we learn to apply them to the solution of problems. Foundations are laid for specialization in advanced science and mathematics. By increasing our knowledge of this subject, we are better able to contribute to the progress of the modern age. Deparfmenf Head Adviser, Mafh Analysis, Senior Mathematics clubs Joseph A.

Adviser, Physics Club Science Department In our science classes, we begin to compre- hend how man has learned to control the forces of nature. We are introduced to the rudimentary theories of science. Application of the scientific method trains us to think logically, and laboratory experiments allow us to share the thrill of discovery. By carrying out individual projects, we are challenged to delve more deeply into the scientific wonders of the world. Barbara Toth and Gregg Gaynor watch Mr. White demonstrate the physical prin- ciples of parallel forces. Victor Wisner B.S. in Forestry Lana Golub, Lewis Kaden, Charlotte Golub, Valerie Magyar, and Robert Josen admire the biology projects they have made. Charles Bednar A.M. Jacob D. Deutsche A.M., LL.B.

Roseboro, Jr. M.Ed. Head Counselor Social Studies Department Remembering the adage History repeats itself, we study past patterns in relationship to present trends. Ex- amination of governmental doctrines brings an appreciation of our democratic way of life. Through debate of news- worthy issues, we learn to evaluate both sides without ar- riving at hasty conclusions. Class reports about meetings with the city commissioners and the Citizens' Advisory Board by members of the newly-organized Junior Citizens’ Advisory Board awaken us to our responsibilities as future civic leaders. Arthur A. Wolpin B.S., LL.B. Franci Elio, Margaret Demeter, Barbara Zmigrodski, Richard Ada- metz, Joseph Palochko, Linda Peters, and Edna Conk analyze the results of the presidential election in their senior history class.

Adviser, Secretaries of Tomorrow Business Department We step from the classroom into offices and industrial plants after training in the Sec- retarial, Accounting, or General Clerical divi- sion of this department. Practice with modern equipment, mastery of advanced methods, and excursions to observe professionals at work facilitate this major transition in our lives. We acquire social poise enabling us to meet new situations with confidence. We emerge efficient, systematic, and alert to per- form essential functions in the enterp'ises of society. Sylvia Clawans B.C.S.Ed. Leon M. Goldsmith M.Ed. Agnes Mooney M.Ed. Sylvia G. Silverman B.S.Ed. Helen Behme B.S.Ed. Agnes Ceres B.S. Stephen Halata M.Ed. Veronica V. Smith M.Ed.

Adviser, Sugar Bowl Club Felice Picker M.Ed. Adviser, Future Homemakers of America Household Arts Department Lois Check leaves her own work to mark a hem for Judy Yurina. After high school, most of our paths will eventually lead to marriage. To prepare us for domestic life, a course in Family Living teaches the principles of child care and money management. In Foods and Nutrition, both boys and girls learn to plan and cook delicious, vitamin-packed meals. At the Annual Home Economics Fashion Show, clothing students model the fashions they have created during the year. Capability in the House- hold Arts will help us to achieve efficient methods of homemaking. Phil Pietraski and Joe Paloehko show that boys can be skill- ful at cooking too. Barbara Buickerood checks the temperature required for the muffins Alberta Cherris is putting into the stove, while Chrystel Fofrich samples their cooking. John Molnyic makes a suggestion to Robert Kish who is drawing with a T-square and tri- angle. Richard Hrehowsik, Manuel Santos, Joseph Mercurio, Anthony Schiavino, Ro- savio Bello, and Peter Christodoulou listen intently to Mr. Patten's explanatio of a printing project. Manual Arts Department Manual Arts students learn to put their talents to prac- tical use. In the woodwork and metalwork shops, they design and make home furnishings. Pupils taking printing supply the entire city school system with forms, booklets, and pos- ters. Apt draftsmen are trained in mechanical drawing classes. Student photographers take and develop pictures for the Halls of Ivy and Periscope. The boys master techniques valuable either to skilled craftsmen or to hobbyists.

Patten M.Ed. 23 Th« flutes and piccolo, played by Wil- liam Sarancxalc, Joyce Lattal, and Vir- ginia Moravek, add a lilt to our orchestra music. Music Department Harmony is contributed to our design by the Music Department. Our assembly programs are en- livened by the rhythmic selections of the swing band and orchestra, the tuneful melodies of the glee clubs and selective chorus. The band leads us to victory on the football field. Highlighting the school year are the Christmas pro- gram, the Winter Band Concert, and the Cavalcade of Music. The presentations at graduation round out the pattern of our high school days. John R. Janderup B.S.Ed. Band, Orchestra, Swing Band Carol Randle, one of our most outstanding vocal- ists, shares her music with the rest of the school. Judy Clark and Carol Heiselberg serve capably as accompanists of the choral groups. John V. Seaman A.M. Adviser, Keyboard, Glee, Record Collectors' clubs Augusta E. Oksen B.S. Department Head Director, Music Education Alex Hudak B.S.Ed. Band, Orchestra Adviser, Twirlers Artistic watercolors take shape as Thomas Balut, Santo Toro, and Karen Kubinak add the correct touches here and there. Art Department Art adds color and beauty to our pattern. The depart- ment contributes to school functions by designing and making posters, stage settings, and prom decorations. Throughout the year, studies in still life, the human figure, and nature are on view informally at the Women's Club, and in our Sidewalk and Indoor Exhibits. Artistic training leads the way to a career in the field or pleasant diversion. Anne H. Massopust B.S. Department Head Adviser, Paletteers, Halls of Ivy Charles Bachman points out a detail in his sketch to Pat Psota, an interested observer. The boat basin provides an attractive subject for Kenneth Hansen and Ronald Jacob during an outdoor art period. Edythe M. Gallagher Georg Dubin, B.S.Ed. M.Ed.

Physical Education Department Students in a freshman health class learn the parts of the human body as Mary Ann Swoboda points them out on a chart. Proper habits of body care are essential for the maintenance of good health. Co-ed freshman classes learn the objectives of Health Education and prevention of dis- ease. During the next three years, girls and boys in separate classes discuss first aid; community, home, and personal hygiene; and personality development. Boys take driver education while girls study home nursing and child care. Through beneficial instruction, we become healthy normal citi- zens, both mentally and physically. Stanley Rosen Litt.B. Department Head Alice Bjorlc B.S.Ed. Adviser, Girls' Varsity, Dance clubs, Cheerleaders Kathryn Smith, Clementine Paloti, Bonnie Dambeclc, and Barbara Kantra each try to get the ball during a fast-moving basketball game.

Adviser, Boys' Varsity Club Coach, Varsity Baseball Physical exercise in our gym classes helps us to achieve A sound mind in a sound body, the goal of mankind for many cen- turies. Team games and individual activities teach us good sportsmanship, clean com- petition, and co-operation. Participation in after-school sports and in the Varsity and Jay Vee programs provides intensive train- ing for students desiring additional ath- letics. Dancing adds social grace to round out our pattern. Climbing ropes is a favorite gym activity for Denis Dzikoski and Steve Zick. Marjorie Szur posts a sign ad- vertising Book Week while Pat Gluer and Arline Lacko make selections for their next book reports. Last minute trimming is added to the Christmas tree in the Library by Merle Kaplowiti and Patricia Snedeker. 28 Library Every student has a library card permitting him to gather knowledge from our collection of books, period- icals, pamphlets, pictures, slides, and film strips. Instruc- tion is given each year during English periods to acquaint us with the material available and how best to use it. Displays of pertinent interest on the peg board and under the glass-top table are changed weekly. A close association with our library enriches every component in our pattern and provides hours of enjoyment. During library instruction, Miss Ramsay familiarizes Manuel Cruz and Barbara Quirk with the filing system. Marian G. Koyen Assistant Librarian Adviser, Library Club Dorothea L.

September brings a variation in the pattern of our school life as the classes move ahead, taking new directions, and as new lines are added by incoming students. The freshmen, after a few weeks of uncertainty, become accustomed to the es- tablished rhythm of classes and school activities. Some discover the thrill of playing in the band Michael Kelly copyreads in the Periscope Office, hurrying to beat the deadline. Voici votre tasse de the, says Beverly Diaciyszyn, serving a French meal to Douglas Cortelyou, Maxine Cohen, and Diane Hasday. Announcing tea time, the whistling kettle alerts novice cook, Barbara Quirk. of '60 and orchestra. Others find keen enjoyment in tompetitive after school sports, in cneerleading and twirling. And for all, there are clubs, new interests and new friends. Socializing is done main- ly during mealtime in the cafeteria, at dances, and club parties. In the very first year the varied design of work and play begins to take form. Cut it short, think Vendel Matis and John Lang Kenneth Mack talks on, and on. Seeing triple? No, it’s only the Mikruts, Gloria, Barbara, and Pat. Ronald Rawlins (9) out-jumps Irvington's Vincent Pilone (20) for a rebound.

Deciding among tasty dishes in the cafeteria, are Jeanne Sonnenberg and Sail Farinick. Francis Ferreira and Richard Gardella tune up for a jam session in the band room. Charlotte Golub demonstrates proper method of applying arm sling on Alice Greenhouse. Sophomores are well oriented to the school pattern, and readily blend into the PAHS scheme. | Traditionally their greatest delight is to trick naive freshmen into searching for the elevators and the j swimming pool. The worst possible indignity these second year veterans can suffer is to be mis- I taken for lowly freshmen. Sophomores begin to Hot weather draws Jo-Ann Twardy, Lester Soleki, and Alexander Simon to the water cooler. Arlene Doros is not too sure she likes the snekes offered by Robert Patskanick and Jon Howard. think seriously of the future. By now they have discovered their aptitudes and, with the help of their guidance counsellors, they prepare schedules for the next two years. On the whole, the year moves quite slowly; the time seems long as the upper-lowers await the change in pattern that will make them lower-uppers. Schedules for September present a problem to Lorraine Weiner, Marion Wolczanski, and Thomas Bromirski. Student executed murals in the cafe- teria, tracing the history of Perth Am- boy, serve as texts for Valerie Magyar's speech on Orientation Day. Aided by encyclopedias, Vincent Hurley finishes class assignment, as Howard Kolsby and Debbie Mann browse through magazines. Sandy Safran finds that making a re- cording is a fine way to improve her French accent. Upperclassmen at last and the pattern halfway com- pleted! For the first time, the group operates as a unit under the leadership of class officers and a council. The tempo of life quickens as they get into the full swing of school activities, assume greater responsibilities in their clubs, serve on class committees, and have more frequent opportunities to participate in assembly programs. By mid- At long last, it's time for lower-uppers, Gordon Koncsol, Andrew Lacko, and Howard Sage to be measured for class rings. Junior Council officers, Harriet Buck, Faye Maxwell, Gerald Smith, and Carolynn Redemann interrupt their busy schedule to pose for our Halls of Ivy photographers. Class Miss Sara Goldstein, secretary to the superintendent, arranges an appointment with Mr. Ceres for Nancy Seekers and Ray Otlowski. 36 I of '58 Blanch Bosko devotes three periods a week to assisting in the nurse's office. year, juniors proudly wear class rings and dream of being upper-uppers. Before they realize it, the long-anticipated junior prom has come and gone; fjnal examinations have been successfully completed; and the year has ended. Now, at last, they can envision the ultimate design of their high school days. Mrs. Kohn makes out a receipt for money deposited in the junior fund by Phyllis Pico. Marc Zagoren, Times and Heralri Tribune representa- tive, finds two willing customers, Joan Kolsby and Carole Meistrich. Underclass Annual Club President, Barbara Spector learns new tech- niques from Elaine Toborowsky, Underclass Editor. 37 David Kaufman, Sandra Safran, Elaine Hack, and Marc Zagoren don't seem to be having too much trouble taking this test.

Gerald Smith, Barbara Meszaros, and Stanley Lachiewicz. of '58 Rita Suich and Charlotte Telis jump high in a lively game of basketball. Combining their efforts to make a mail box handle in metalwork shop are Richard Hornyak and Wayne Powell. 39 Proudly admirinq the many trophies won by PAHS teams are Tom Kartelias and Barbara Kagan. It's bigger than both of us, think Robert Rubenstein and William Saranczak. Sharyn Bey and Elaine Czech seem to enjoy service duty in the front corridor. zlassmen Freshmen gather at lockers before the 8:30 bell. Iris Auerbach, Lewis Kaden, Marlene Eisner, Bobby Klein, and Michael Kelly, leaf through college bulletins in the Guidance Office. 41 James Thorp sorts and distributes the morning mail.

Grit Paced by Mike Matto and Gary Chapman, the Panther eleven started off like a house on fire, blazing through the first three games. After a mid-season slump, the team hit its stride again, wrapping up the season with two smash wins. Backed by veteran linemen Jim Morgan, Rudy Cook, Bob Kish, Don Arnesen, and Captain Tony Schiavino, high scorer Mike Matto totaled 60 points to lead the county and place on the first string county team. Gary Chap- man showed his stuff by consistently hitting Charles Daraughty and Bob Kodan with well-timed passes. Coach Reznichak will be hard pressed to develop replacements for this year's well integrated senior players. Sensational ground gainer and line smasher is swivel-hipped Mike Matto.

Panther fans agree that the season's final tally of 8 wins and 12 loses does not convey the true pic- ture of Coach Buglovsky’s fast-moving team. They remember, rather, our spectacular freshman, Ron Rawlins, whose only trouble is keeping his chin away from the rim; Andy Sabine and Noel Mansbach in there snaring rebounds with help from Joe Novak and Richie Tauber; the effective work of Gary Chapman, Richie Majewski, and John Barreft. They recall with greatest enthusiasm the Panthers' final victory over St. Mary's to cop the city championship in the most exciting game ever.

Top honors go to Arnie Zimmerman, catcher and backbone of the team, both for his heavy bat and superb handling of the pitchers. Star hurler, lefty Mike Smisko, with big Rudy Cook and Richy Tauber, constituted a strong pitching staff, while Captain Ray New- man covered his new position at shortstop effectively.

The real standouts were Capt. Russ Palochko, who took the county championship for the quarter mile, and Norm Staf- ford, who finished second in the county hurdling and placed sixth in a nation-wide meet in Madison Square Garden. The freshman squad had more candidates and more talent than ever before. Coach Leo Klein foresees a bright future for the team next season.

The girls' verve and enthusiasm adds much to the promotion of school spirit and good- will. The smart stepping of our twirlers and the well-drilled precision of our color guard give final proof of the worth-while time and effort de- voted to our physical education program.

In this last campaign, the net men beat Highland Park and Metuchen to become county champs. A lot of the credit, of course, goes to Mr. Gordon Koehler, coach, who looks toward next spring with great expectation. With the great potentials of Sid Millet and Bob Natishyn, together with the experience of Sheldon Weinstein, we should have an even better record next season. 76 1956 TENNIS TEAM Kneeling: Lewis Kaden, Gil- bert Sandler, Arthur Kleimer, Sheldon Weinstein; (standing) Bob Natishyn, Sheldon Kap- lan, Sid Millet, Neal Jacob- son, Coach Gordon Koehler.

The big gun of the team is Walt Kopac- zek, with an average of 172. Ben Mieszkalski and Mike Stankowitz are right on his tail with 166 and 157 respectively. In the Annual Student-Faculty match the student team came out on top with a total of 1263 to 1250 pins. The boys are looking forward to bigger leagues and more inter-school competition in 1957-1958. Coach George Zupko has cause for satisfac- tion with the '57 wrestling campaign. With only four seniors—Fred Garaffa, Richie Crouse, John Melnyk, and Palmer Donnelly—his young, 20-mem- ber team defeated North Plainfield and showed fine form in several other close competitions. Fred Garaffa leads the field with 7 wins, while Bill Buchan and Ray Miller are close behind with 5 and 4. The undergraduate boys, forming a strong nu- cleus for up-coming teams, should make a name for Panther grapplers. Ben Mieszkalski shows fine form as he lets loose with a perfect strike in a league Fred Garaffa shows signs of satisfaction as he takes down gdme. Ray Miller for a fast point. INDOOR TRACK.
