Perth Amboy High School (now McGinnis Middle School)

These Video were Created for the many
Perth Amboyans that 
walked the Sacred Halls of Ivy.

We came into these Halls not Knowing,
but came out 4 years later with Knowledge, 

not just by Books or Teachers but from each other.

As Classmates we arrived,

 but left as Friends

Booster (High School) Buttons

 

One thing that Perth Amboy’s town folks never lack; was Spirit! Ever since the start of time we had had Spirit and Pride!

Now, being a little bias, the Classes of ‘67 to ‘71 probably had the Most Spirit and Pride, just kidding folks. All Classes of PAHS had the Spirit.

Below is a number of “Booster” Buttons of my time in PAHS.

Long Live the “Halls of Ivy”

Of Course the Beloved “Booster Hat”

Besides Loving our PANTHER, Snoopy came in close second!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Class of 1971

Most of the Pins/Buttons were made in our own PAHS printing Class.

Famous Perth Amboy Film by Acme Studios circa late 1940's

This Film was made by Acme Studios, Perth Amboy, NJ. If you ever lived in Perth Amboy it will bring Smiles and Tears! Reminds me of the song, "Look What They Done to My Song, Mom" but "Look What They Done to My Town, Mom". At least they can't change my memories! It may be long, but you'll enjoy it.
