Mr. Poll is a teacher of College Preparatory Mathematics and he advises the Math Club. Also, he heads our chess club and is advisor to the yearbook staff. The graduating seniors would like to thank Mr. Poll for being both a friend and a teacher during these past four years at Hoffman High. Thank you! 5 JVchmmsiration .Superintendent EUGENE S.

We look around and ask—where did it go? We worked, we played—but for four years? Then we look the other way—into to- morrow. Suddenly we're not as tall as we thought we were And not as smart. But we find that somehow We learned a decisive lesson at Hoffman: something we Wouldn’t have had without our teachers and friends without God or religion—a direction into that uncertain tomorrow. It can never be so dark again Though the world may change and the times may change and we change. JVmlmy- Madison Rational IBank South Amboy Office 100 North Broadway South Amboy, N.J.
