Class Adviser PARTHENIA VANDERMARK When the pages of our yearbook are well worn, and the pictures well faded, there will still be a fresh memory of our warm, spirited, and unforgettable personality. Miss Parthenia Vandermark ' s boundless enthu- siasm and endless class devotion inspired the Seniors of 1957 immeasurably. Her spirit was matched only by her unfailing determination to unite our class into a closely knit group. She did not fail, and we leave school with wonderful mem- ories in which Miss Vandermark will be fondly recalled as a first star on our expanding horizon. Class Advisor 8

President ' s Message Very few worthwhile things, of great moment, have occurred in man ' s history except as they were attached to ideals. Perhaps the greatest contribution that parents, churches, or colleges can make to young people is to provide them with ideals to live by. Those who enter teaching as a career, by the very nature of their choice, are susceptible to ideals. They are usually, in greater or lesser degree, already dedicated to the idea of devoting their lives to the enrichment of the lives of others. It is a wise man who knows that where he gives, he receives back more than he gives. He lives a rich satisfying life, in a world that he has helped to make better. Those whom you teach will learn best from what you are and what you do, rather than from what you preach. THOMAS E. ROBINSON 7

Deans Education is exciting and teaching is fun! We know that the Class of 1957 will realize how true this statement is as its members enter the New Jersey public school classrooms for the first time as well-qualified teachers. You are entering a grand and proud profession. There is none better. ROBERT BOLE Dean of Instruction Integrity withaut knowledge is dull and useless; knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful. MARY ANN SHERK Dean of Women As one who was a public school teacher and administrator for 22 years before coming to G.S.T.C., may I congratulate you upon your reach- ing the threshold of the wonderful profession of teaching. I can assure you that in these days of ris- ing enrollments, the place and future of quality- teachers such as you will be, are assured. JAMES LYNCH Dean of Student Activities You are fortunate, Class of ' 57, for you go forth to battle ignorance and the crude shape that lurks behind civilized man. You go forth to be wanted, to fill a desperate need; to meet the challenge be- side gallant veterans in a noble profession. Be proud! 9 ALBERT SHAW Dean of Men
