Weehawken High School - Zenith Yearbook (Weehawken, NJ)

Editors' Message It is with a deep sense of pride that we, the editors of the 1959 Zenith, present this book to you. We have endeavored to produce an annual which will please everyone concerned with Weehawken High School. Through numerous pictures and extensive literature, we have expressed what we hope will be a permanent and treasured record of the activities and thoughts of our student body. The primary objective of this yearbook is to encompass all phases of school activity; to tell the story of this year. Therefore we have added the School Life and Centennial sections; for without these, the year 1958-59 would not have been complete. We have received not only an enormous amount of enjoyment in planning the production of the Zenith, but a sense of satisfaction as well. At times we were confused and bewildered, but those who we depended upon, seldom let us down. Specifically, we would like to thank: The Faculty and Administration for their co-operation and under- standing. Mr. Lawshe, our printer for his understanding and kindness. Dian Photography Studio for their expert photography, and especially George Cochran. Mr. Moore and his art staff for their superb art work, especially Charles Van Gunst. Our literary staff, particularly Steve and Barry. Mr. Lazzaro and his business staff for their essential financial aid. Chief Kirk of the Weehawken Police Department for donating pic- tures and information toward our Centennial section. The Editorial Board and Staff who worked ceaselessly planning the Zenith. Our advisor, Mr. Scott, for passing on his extensive experience, his infinite patience, and for teaching us to be objective. Our advertisers and patrons, and all those who purchased a 1959 Zenith. You, the student body, for your faith and confidence in us. Merilee Peterson Gary Hoover Co-editors 146
