Mr. James W. Worden Litt. B. Speaking few words, Mr. James Worden has let his actions earn for him the respect and affection of all Valleyites. As our unsung hero, he has been the vital spark behind the expansion of the Industrial Arts Department. When Mr. Worden came to Passaic Valley in November, 1942, the department was composed of just two instructors. His able guidance and direction over the years have made possible the growth of the department, which now employs seven men and offers a varied, comprehensive program. So many phases of Valley life would be lacking were it not for Mr. Worden. His work on the construction of numerous stage sets for our dramatic productions as well as creative interest in many different projects associated with the enlargement of our school's facilities - these are evidence of the cooperative, friendly spirit of a truly remarkably man. It is with sincere gratitude that we, the Class of 1963, dedicate our yearbook to such a fine, competent individual, James W. Worden.
