The Class off 1959 PERTH AMBOY HIGH SCHOOL Perth Amboy, New Jersey HALLS OF IVY Through Assemblies Through Classes In touch With the marvels of space, jet passenger flights, and atoms in medicine and industry, today's world is changing more rapidly than ever before in history. If we are to become clear-thinking adults, we must adapt ourselves to these changes; we must understand them. Perth Amboy High School provides us with the means by which to achieve our goal. New ideas brought to us by authors and clergymen, demonstrations by scientists, original skits, and musical performances make up the assembly programs that inform and entertain us. Up-to-date textbooks and teaching methods in keeping with the modern outlook on education have been adopted in our classrooms. In our school publications, the Peri- Through Student Government with the times scope and Halls of Ivy, the latest journalistic techniques are employed in bringing to us a clear and complete news picture of our school. Participation in student government enables us to solve common problems and plan social events for the benefit of fellow students. Spare time devoted to community service makes us active members of our town and helps us to become knowing and useful citizens. A fast-moving social life, a whirl of parties and proms, allow us to make many valuable and lasting friendships. In this, the '59 Halls of Ivy, we have tried to show how all phases of our high school life have combined to make us alert to the world around us, to keep us in touch with the changing times. Janet Bankovich Through Social Life Through Service Through Student Publications 5 DEDICATION MICHAEL E. STOFEGA To all our faculty we owe a debt of gratitude for our happy and profitable years at Perth Amboy High School, but we should like especially to thank our viceprincipal, Mr. Michael Stofega, for all he has done for us. His ready smile and quick wit have made our high school days a little brighter; his keen judgment has been of inestimable value to us. He has made time in a busy schedule to take an active part in the social life of the school and to serve as an interested and able adviser to the Student Council. When we look back on our high school days, we shall remember him not only as a wise counselor but as a sincere friend. It is with the deepest affection and appreciation that we dedicate the 1959 Halls of Ivy to Mr. Stofega. 6 SCHOOL Board of Education ............... 10 Superintendent .................. 11 Principal ........................ 12 Vice-Principal ................... 13 Departments ...................... 14 SPECIAL EVENTS Spring ........................... 32 Fall ............................. 34 Winter............................ 36 UNDERCLASS Freshmen ......................... 40 Sophomores ....................... 44 Juniors .......................... 48 CLUBS Advisers ......................... 54 Councils ......................... 56 Honor Societies................... 58 Publications ..................... 60 Culture........................... 62 Services ......................... 64 Careers .......................... 66 Languages ........................ 68 Mathematics and Science .......... 70 Social Studies ................... 72 Arts ............................. 73 Athletics ........................ 74 Music ............................ 76 SPORTS Coaches ......................... 82 Football......................... 84 Basketball ...................... 86 Baseball ........................ 88 Track ........................... 90 Wrestling ....................... 92 Tennis .......................... 93 Girls' Sports ................... 94 Underclass ...................... 96 SENIORS Senior Council...................100 Four Years in Retrospect.........102 Senior Poll .....................104 Senior Class ....................106 Informals .......................143 ADVERTISEMENTS .....................144 INDEX ..............................160 Editor-in-Chief - JANET BANKOVICH • Advertising -MARLENE EISNER • Art - ROBERT JOSEN • Business - JANET KALATA • Clubs - RONA RUBIN, CONSTANCE KELLY, DEBORAH MANN • Head Typists -NANCY HAASIS, GERALDINE LANDI • Photographers - RICHARD KRUPPA, ROBERT SEAMAN • School -LORETTA ROTHMAN • Seniors - LEWIS KADEN • Special Events — MARLENE GLASER • Sports — JANIS OZOLINS, PATRICIA NOLAN • Underclass - EILEEN YENCIK • Secretary-Treasurer — ALINE HIRNER 7 LORETTA ROTHMAN, Editor Through the careful planning of our Board of Education, 10 off fftirougti tlie wise administration our Superintendent, Mr. Anthony V. Ceres has been the Chief Administrator of Perth Amboy's ten public schools for 5 years. Born and raised in the city, Mr. Ceres attended the Perth Amboy elementary schools and graduated from Perth Amboy High in 1924. He received his A.B. from Notre Dame, his L.L.B. from Rutgers Law School and his M.Ed. from Rutgers University. After teaching the seventh grade in Shull School for two years, then social studies in Perth Amboy High School for 13 years, he became Vice-Principal of the High School in 1945, serving in this capacity for nine years before becoming Superintendent. Mr. Ceres is a member of the Perth Amboy and Middlesex County Bar Associations, the N. J. School Masters Club, and the American Association of School Administrators. Among the local organizations of which he is an active member are: Civil Defense, Military Manpower, and Human Relations Commissions; Board of Directors of the Red Cross and of the Visiting Nurses' Association. We are fortunate that Mr. Ceres has chosen to make his career in Perth Amboy, devoting his many talents to the maintenance of fine schools for the young people of our town, Perth Amboy. ANTHONY V. CERES, LL.B., M.Ed. Superintendent of Schools MAKING IT OFFICIAL, Mr. Ceres adds his signature to the outgoing mail. JAMES F. CHALMERS, M.A. Principal through the Principal and Born in Glasgow, Scotland, our principal, Mr. James F. Chalmers, came to the United States in 1909 to live in Kearny, New Jersey. After a few years he moved to Perth Amboy, where he attended the Grammar School and was graduated from PAHS in 1917. As a youngster, Mr. Chalmers was a newsboy and worked in a factory to earn money toward his college education. He continued working during his four years at Mt. Union College in Alliance, Ohio, from which he received his B.S., and at Ohio University where he earned his M.A. Mr. Chalmers started his teaching career as an instructor of freshman chemistry at Ohio U. Coming to PAHS in 1923, he taught chemistry and physics until 1944 when he became acting vice-principal. In 1945, he was appointed to his present position of principal. To keep a school of 1500 students running smoothly is an exacting and time-consuming task, yet Mr. Chalmers finds time to be active in the Presbyterian Church and in the Rotary Club. He enjoys sports, too, especially golfing, bowling, and fishing. He reads widely to increase his vast knowledge of schools and the New Jersey educational system. His interest in current educational trends has helped to make our high school one of the best in the state. MR. CHALMERS looks thoughtful listening to one of the many problems which confront him during the school day. thoughtful of our Vice-Principal, ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE DAY are made over the intercom system by Mr. Stofega.

In these days of swiftly moving events and split-second timing, punctuality is a must for us all. If, in our formative years, we have learned the lessons of promptness and regularity taught by the Attendance Department, our adult life will run smoothly. Used to organizing our time to best advantage, we can look forward to accomplishing all the important tasks that we set ourselves and still find leisure hours to devote to the many new interests and hobbies the future is bound to provide.

Our counselors are ready to help us solve problems that arise in our daily school life, to advise us in our choice of the college that will best fit us for our future work, or to assist us in securing jobs suitable to our interests and abilities. Conferences, meetings, and field trips to business concerns aid us in the selection of careers that will bring us returns in success and happiness. Edward Herbert LL.B., M.Ed.

Against the background of the past, in the light shed by events that have shaped the present, we study the living story of history as it unfolds. We are taught to view the current scene objectively, without prejudice, seeking out the facts from which to draw logical conclusions. In our Town Meeting Club and the recently organized Foreign Policy Study Group, as we examine together issues that must be resolved, we realize the ever-increasing necessity for sound thinking on the part of our political leaders and the voters of America.

Graduates of our four-year business course are well prepared to step directly into positions in the business field. Some have perfected their knowledge of typing and shorthand; others have concentrated on accounting; and still others have become proficient in operating business machines. Many students have gained experience from after school work in neighboring stores and offices. And all have developed the alertness, the adaptability to new situations and receptivity to new ideas so vital to success in the modern business world. Stephen Halata M.Ed.

To prepare us for life in our world of Explorers and Sputniks, phases of advanced mathematics have been added to our curriculum. Special projects and class trips provide us with stimulating experiences. Newly formed clubs give us an opportunity to gain concepts not included in regular classroom work, while the latest texts in the ha ds of forward-looking teachers keep our math classes in step with the times. MATHEMATICS FAN, Sheldon Cheuse, explains a theorem to instructor, Mr. Marra, while classmates listen critically. We learn to clear reasoning and CHEMISTS Robert Sofka and Susan Popp demonstrate the process of fractional distillation. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. When NaCl and H-O are mixed, salt water is formed; when science and a student are put together, logical thinking evolves. We are led from stud of primitive plant and animal life to the complexities of physics and chemistry. We are even permitted a glimpse into the mysteries of nuclear physics. Laboratory experiments give us satisfying proof of established laws and conclusions, and inspire some of us to enter this field as it comes of age with dramatic discoveries. Roland W. Tapley M.Ed.

In our English work, courses in public speaking and journalism provide us with practice in colorful self-expression. The study of literature leads us to appreciate the precise use of words. We are encouraged to broaden our knowledge by outside reading and by group discussions of the books we have read. As we add to our cultural background, we learn to value the richness and beauty of the English language.

LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT. In our shrinking world, narrowed by the inauguration of jet passenger service and advanced methods of communication, the need for language study becomes imperative. In the expectation of visiting a foreign country ourselves some day, we have been especially interested in films, slides and recordings which teach us to know our neighbors and to speak their language more fluently. We are proud that our high school offers us Latin and German as well as four full years of both French and Spanish. ability with others. Winifred Jensen M.A. Department Head Dorothy H.

MANUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT. When we have had a taste of work in the Manual Arts Department, we keep coming back for more. Whether we plan to master new skills for leisure time projects or to take an initial step towards our ultimate career, we gain invaluable experience here.

ART DEPARTMENT. Whenever we are privileged to see the excellent work of our young artists on exhibition, we are lost in admiration for the wide range of techniques they have mastered and their skillful use of different media. We are lost in envy sometimes, too, as we watch them starting out gaily for an hour of sketching at the boat basin, or see them returning with their attractive drawings. It is no wonder to us that they so frequently carry off top honors in city- and state-wide competitions. love off beauty. Ann© H. Mossopust B.S.

During our four years of high school we study every aspect of health education from elementary principles to courses in driver education, from accident prevention to advanced techniques in first aid. As we absorb theories and practices, we acquire the ability to react automatically to emergencies and to avoid mistakes. Above all, we learn to respect good health habits as essential to daily living. Sadie G. Maloney R.N. Walter Staniszewski B.S. Coach, J.V. Basketball J.V.

The spring of '58 brought the usual excitement, restlessness and yearing for something different. The wish to do and see things lasting and important was foremost in our minds. What could have fulfilled this desire better than those special events which brightened our school days at that time. Some students watched and enjoyed them; others actually participated; but we all felt the forward surge of our age mingling with the indolence of spring.

Dances and school projects taught us that social fun follows closely on the heels of work well done. Through these and other activities we found excitement to spice our lives; and, even more important than that, we learned to appreciate the benefits of schooling. We became a living and vital part of our times.

Just as naturally, those school events which were a part of that autumn vanished to make room for winter's highlights. As innumerable activities crowded our weeks, time raced by, taking with it our senior year. The clock has continued its relentless tick; soon, our days will be the old times. In that inevitable future, when present classes and average school days become blurred in our memory, we will still cherish the thoughts of special events at PAHS. our days.

Although they may not realize it in September, or even in May, when their junior year is over, students have put behind them many important decisions, and have taken their first step into the future.

The aim of the Keyboard Club is to help members overcome their fear and gain enough confidence to play with assurance before a group. Platters spin — are you listening? Well, record collectors are. At meetings they discuss current hits, rock V roll, and of course, jazz. Favorite artists and collectors' items make for interesting conversation, too. Adviser: John Seaman WAITING THEIR TURN, Robert Rubenstein, Carol Niemiera, and Natalie Augustine listen to the intriguing selection of Virginia Moravek. HANDLE WITH CARE is the advice of collectors Richard GardeUa, Gerald Sebesky, and Robert Terio. HI-FI in all its ramifications is explained to Francis Ferreira by Joseph Barcheski. AUDIOPHILE CLUB. Ever try building a hi-fi set? Before you do, why not consult an audiophile member. Since he is knee deep in hi-fi construction, he might be able to give you some pointers on how to get the greatest depth of tone. Members also experiment with complicated mechanisms of the tape recorder and listen to top tunes of the day.

We've got rhythm; we've got music; we've got our band and orchestra. In the wee small hours of every Wednesday and Friday morning (about 7:45 A.M.) we can hear the orchestra diligently practicing its scales and chords. The fruits of these efforts are evident at assemblies and at the Cavalcade of Music. We love a parade, especially when our high-stepping band participates. The program of the band concert held on February 5th included numbers ranging from marches to such novelties as drum and flute solos. They're versatile, they're tops—we love 'em!

Athletics at Perth Amboy High School this year was complemented with one of the best coaching staffs in the state. Led by Leo Klein, athletic director and track coach, many other staff members deserve praise. Among them are Gordon Koehler, tennis; Steve Salaky, varsity baseball; Roger Maniscalco, frosh basketball; Walter Staniszewski, J.V. football and basketball; George Dubin, frosh football and baseball; Henry Dane, J.V. baseball; George Zupko, frosh football.

Dennis Mahoney lunges ahead with a Woodbridge tackier hanging on for the ride. Panther gridmen showed exceptional spirit, sportsmanship, and rugged determination in their vain effort to bring home a victory. Although hopes were high and outlook good at the start of the season, the team effort was registered as an 0 and 9 season in the record books. Many athletes shone in their performances on the field. Among these were Pat Petrick and Dennis Mahoney, the crimson and white halfbacks who led their team to many a long gain. Two of the most promising players, Ron Bandola and Ralph Pucci, were sidelined early in the season with injuries that kept them off the field all year. Lack of experience in most of the other vital positions hurt the team effort more but members of our eleven gained training which will be invaluable to them next year. We leave our best wishes for a more successful season in '59. SHOWING HIS HEELS to Woodbridge, Pat Petrick speeds into the clear for another long gain. FOOTBALL 1958 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM.

Amboy's varsity cagers inaugurated their highly successful '58-'59 court season on somewhat a sad note by dropping the first two scheduled contests. Despite the crushing blow to team spirit, the diehard Panthers recovered to turn this into one of the best seasons the crowds have seen for many a long year. Revolving around the brilliant play of Al Stanley, Vic Balogh, and record holder Ron Rawlins, the Red-men copped the Holiday Basketball trophy downing Woodbridge, Carteret, and Sayreville back-to-back for first place. Mike Chumer, Sig Janners, and Ed Evans were three other reasons for this winning combo. Coach Buglovsky should have a fine squad next year centered around Chumer and Rawlins. SCHEDULE P. A.

Under the strong pitching of Edward Chester and Ronald Sobo-lowski and the powerful batting of Robert Dias and Alfred Leone, the squad enjoyed the season.

TRACK. Bright hopes were rewarded this year with one of the finest teams Perth Amboy has had in a long time. Among the many standouts in the 1959 season were Jerry Polyascko and Jan Ozolins, hurdles; Ron Bandola, sprints; Dennis Mahoney, quarter mile; and Russ O'Reilly, half mile. These top-form runners also made up the highly successful mile relay and sprint relay teams. James Jablonski in the javelin, shot put, and pole vault, and Ed Evans in the shot put and discus gave the field team strong footage. A strong showing by the underclassmen, in all events, gives promise of a bright future. CALISTHENICS played a very important role in the training of Gerald Polyascko, Pat Pe-trick, and James Jablonski. 91 WRESTLING WRESTLING. Garnishing a highly successful record, the 1959 team under the fine coaching of George Zupko gave the sport a boost into prominence as a field of athletics at Perth Amboy. Outstanding performances on the mats were put in by many members of the team. Among these. Cliff Knudsen, Howard Kolsby, Lou Smith, Joe Sucheski, and Phil Koncsol scored points consistently to put the Panthers on top in many matches. With the increased interest in the sport and the fine underclass squad this year, next season should see the Panthers as one of the best in the state. PINNED!

COLOR GUARD MEMBERS Marie Aniolowski, Janet lick, Barbara Cusmano, and Elaine Rebovich did a fine job of leading the band and twirlers at all our football games. PERFECT JACKKNIFE is executed by Charlotte Kerzetski in her weekly workout at the y.M.C.A. 94 f GIRLS' SPORTS gained in prominence very rapidly this year. Among the many types of intramural sports offered were volleyball, basketball, tennis, and soccer. There was keen competition between the more athletic for a position on the fine cheering squad which practiced diligently many long hours under the supervision of Miss Bjork and Miss Kozusko. The twirlers and color guard, trained by Mr. Hudak and Mr. Janderup, added spice to the many football games and offered more opportunities for participation. The girls deserve a cheer for the fine job they have done in rounding off the athletic program at Perth Amboy High School. LACK OF ATTENDANCE wasn't a problem in getting girls sports rolling in 1958-1959. 1959 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS.

The JV CHEERING SQUAD gave promise of developing into a fine varsity group. AFTER SCHOOL SPORTS saw the underclass girls out in strength. JV and FROSH FOOTBALL TEAMS had records that point to a series of wins in the fall. UNDERCLASS BASKETBALL had one of its most successful seasons, with many members graduating to fill spots on the varsity squad throughout the year. TRACK and WRESTLING felt the strength of underclassmen, as they were the deciding factor in many meets and matches. JV and FROSH BASEBALL will benefit next year's varsity by providing keen competition for berths. THOROUGH WARM UP before game time puts Panther JV's in top form. GRUNTING WON'T HELP.

COUNCIL OUR SENIOR COUNCIL, the governing body of our class, has been the backbone of senior year activities. Through our experience in self-government we have gained one of the most valuable experiences that may be derived from high school. Beginning with the election of class officers and on through our projects, we have learned lessons that will be of benefit to us all our life. In retrospect today, we remember the Halloween dance, Shenanigan's Shag, the senior class play, class trip, and, of course, the senior prom. Throughout the year we have combined good times with serious effort. The culmination of our fund raising ventures was the awarding of scholarships to deserving college bound class members. All in all, it has been a full, an active, and a profitable year. CLASS OFFICERS Rhoda Melega, secretary; Lewis Kaden, president; Connie Kelly, treasurer; and Marilyn Lance vice-president; get together to formulate plans for an active year.

Most evident in these photographs is a physical transformation as boys and girls have developed into young men and women. More important, though less obvious in these pages, is the mental and social maturing which has occurred. Through the overall experience of high school, a child has been molded into an individual ready to go forth from PAHS on his chosen path with cherished memories to take along. Wherever we wander, remembrances of these four years will follow. The first day in the hallowed halls of ivy, the Thanksgiving game, and the Periscope— these we recall from our Four Years 1955 • Lewis Kaden shows the Latin Club o chart of English-Latin word families. 1955 • Freshman Periscope cubs are awed at seeing their very first articles appear in print. 1956 • Vincent Hurley, Howard Kolsby and Marilyn Lance provide drama in Miss Hardiman's English class as Gilbert Sandler awaits his cue. freshman year. As sophomores we were spirited and enthusiastic in all activities. Then we were upperclassmen, with our first elections and an opportunity to serve on the Junior Council. From that fun-filled year we remember especially the night the gym went Oriental for the Junior Prom. September, 1958. We were seniors. We had arrived. However, we soon discovered that, with all the work and activity, time passed almost too quickly. College applications, board exams, classes, clubs, and councils—before we realized it the senior class play had passed, then the Prom, and finally the day of all days — graduation. We left the theatre and the Class of '59 was history. 1957 • Among the bold who undertook physics (and survived quite well) are Valerie Magyar, Emil Ubersax, Janis Ozolins and Jerry Polyascko. in Retrospect 1957 • Junior Council officers Arlene Krasnanski, Debby Mann, Charlotte Kerzetski, and Judy Sha-franski guided the class through memorable year. 103 1959 • Judy Shafronski adjusts John Schantz's cap before the great event.

IN ME MORI AM SHARON STROM Sharon Fern Strom, member of the Class of 1959, passed away on December 19, 1956. She was a vivacious, happy girl who always had many friends around her. Love of dancing, pleasant conversation and an even disposition are attributes that endeared her to us. She will always be remembered by the Class of 1959 for her kindness, her smile and her pretty face. 142 BERMUDA-SPORTERS Rhoda Melega and Thomas Varga swing to the beat at Student Council's Bermuda Hop. by all off us.
