DEDICATION MR. J. WOODFORD HONE MISS MARY STRIPLING MR. VICTOR WISNER To the teachers who retired during the course of our senior year, in grateful acknowledgement of their help, their patience, and their wise instruction, we, the Class of 1960, proudly dedicate our book. We cannot easily forget Mr. Hone's cheerful and kindly disposition, nor Miss Riddlestorffer's boundless energy and sparkling personality, while Miss Stripling's quiet understanding endeared her to us all. Mr. Tapley's twinkling eyes disclose the keen intellect which kept us on our mettle. Pupils of Mr. Wisner will remember his winning smile and inexhaustible enthusiasm for photography. It is our sincere wish that the success which these teachers have achieved during their careers at Perth Amboy High School may follow them in all their future endeavors.

times present as we the future. HEALTHFUL MEALS are more appetizing when we enjoy them in the comfortable atmosphere of our up-to-date cafeteria. MORNING SUNLIGHT makes a pretty picture of the empty gym and electrically controlled curtain. we have grown to love and understand its beauty and its traditions, and to appreciate the changes that are constantly being made. We have seen new lights installed. Movable desks lend informality to our classrooms. Regular paint jobs keep our surroundings fresh and bright. New sets of curtains for the stage have improved acoustics in the auditorium. Soon a two-level park will enhance our campus and provide ample space for pupils to congregate before school. No one really knows what is in store for the future, but we can perhaps get a hint from studying modern educational trends. Language recording booths and laboratories, electrical efficiency machines in business and manual training, and individual science demonstration kits may figure in future teaching techniques. We can be sure that PAHS will continue to advance with the future while preserving the heritage and memories of the past. TWO-LEVEL PARK soon to be laid out adjacent to our building will be a meeting place for early birds. 7

FOREWORD Memories of the past and an understanding of how our parents lived and learned are two of the most important gifts we may possess. The realization of many educational dreams has brought to Perth Amboy High School a comprehensive course of study in the most modern surroundings. On our opening pages we have tried to show in words and pictures the improvements and additions to our school over the past sixty years. Our dividers reflect the old and the new. By marking the phases of our progress, we hope to keep alive the memory of the past as we move forward into the future.
