Robert Fleming Board Secretary BOARD OF EDUCATION These ten men epitomize the capable and knowledgeable citizens of our community. They worked tirelessly and unselfishly during the past year to provide needed services for all and to benefit all the students of the Borough of Sayreville. It was through their progressive and careful planning that a new junior high school became a reality. The students of this school perhaps benefit the most. Not only does the Board provide for the bussing and activity allowances but also gives deserving students an annual Awards Banquet and pro- vides entertainment for many school assemblies. Undoubtedly, without these civic-minded citizens, the school sys- tem would be lacking and perhaps defunct. The students of Sayrc- ville War Memorial High School here and now say “Thank You.” BOARD OF EDUCATION—SEATED: Mr. Thomas Keegan, Mr. Danny DiPoalo, Mr. Jo- seph Kupsch, Mr. John Zebro. STANDING: Mr. Kenneth Buchanan, Mr. Eugene Hayden, Attorney; Mr. Zoltan Zelenak, Mr. John Haag, Mr. Cyril Rhatican, Mr. Andrew Piatek. 7

ADMINISTRATION Dr. Marie Parnell Principal All ages and times become characterized by the dominant and prevalent ideas of the period; thus, this present era will probably be studied by future seniors as the “age of protest” or the “age of dis- sent.” Progress, however, is dependent upon man's dissatisfaction with the now and requires for its impetus a spirit of challenge and change. Youth has always provided this spirit of dissent; they, more than their fathers, have been willing to shatter traditions and question the establishment. No previous era, however, has been populated by so youthful a group with so great a force of pro- test. The value to this tremendous energy has not yet been realized; but to become a productive force, it must be a spirit and an energy directed to growth and development, not to destruction. Man, though, in his history has found it easier to destroy than to build: his capacity for the one is greater than his ability with the other. Be aware, therefore, of the potential you possess, the forces you generate, and move into a new decade deter- mined to be constructive citizens of a vital and dy- namic society. —Marie Parnell 8 Mr. Homer Dill Vice Principal Mr. Edward Weber Vice Principal
