BOARD OF EDUCATION From top to bottom: J. Callahan, E. Puchalski, J. Gavin, J. Keenan, F. Samuels, S. Novak, P. Karbovvski, W. Chevalier, W. Lome rich. Ten outstanding citizens of Sayreville compose our Board of Education. These men provide us with one of the finest school systems in the state of New Jersey, and, through their sincere efforts, decide school problems most advantageous to the students. In addition to executing the needs of our school, this concerned group furnishes activities for the athletes, band, twirlers, color guard, cheerleaders, and the remaining students to participate in. The class of 1959 gratefully extends its thanks to all ten members of the Board of Education for looking to our needs for education and also for amelio- rating the school system throughout the community. 7

GOVERNING BODY From top to bottom: R. Presnal, A. Schussler, J. Ziemba, E. Fielek, M. Guilfoyle, A. Popowski, Mayor; H. Boehm, J. Kolb. The Senior class is deeply indebted to the gov- erning body of Sayreville for the assistance and cooperation which it has given it. There are many occasions on which it has displayed its interest in our school. Youth Week is probably the greatest single event to which it contributes yearly. Its efforts are largely responsible for making this a successful endeavor. The mayor and his council have developed the community into one filled with opportunities. They have made many improvements in the past few years for more efficient handling of governmental operations. The low tax rate which they have sought to maintain encourages further expansion of our present industries and the development of new ones. Perhaps the greatest contribution made by the governing body is the reliable government which they have created. Every member of the commu- nity can be proud of the men who manage its af- fairs. We can give nothing but words of praise for the splendid work which they have done in the past and are certain to continue doing in the future. 6

DR. RICHARD S. POLLACK Superintendent of Schools TO THE CLASS OF ’59 Our earth has once again been made smaller by the genius of man. The “Jet Age” has dawned. In October of 1958, Pan American World Airways started the first regularly scheduled commercial jet flights between this country and Western Europe. Flying time has been ap- proximately halved between New York City and London. Taking into account the time difference, it is now possible to leave New York in the morning at 10:00 a.m., fly to London, stay one hour, fly back to New York and be home by midnight of the same day. The hour you have in London is long enough to create a great work, or to be completely useless; to kill a man, or save a thousand lives; to wreck a career, or fall in love; to cause deep anguish or make someone happy; to pass on a fatal infection or deliver a vial of immunizing serum. God grant you the wisdom to know what to do with your “hour in London”. MISS MARION SAMSEL Secretary MRS. BETTY KROEGER Secretary 8
