It is onl fitting that we should present the lirvt issue ol Quovadis as a record of the lirst tl iree years. 1 he name Quovadis should serve well as a motto lor each of us— Whither goest thou.' Perhaps we cannot answer that question now. perhaps we shall never be able to answer that question completely, but il we keep this simple inquiry foremost in our minds and actions, we shall forever be alert to the challenge of right living and con- structive thinking. w e hope that our first yearbook will leave something rich in tradition and lofty in purpose as a pleasant remem bra nee of the Class ol 1942.

KIWI III MAYI.R opper Hop came to us late this year. I hs interests are singing (e erv one heard 11 ii ii in the Minstrel and raved), howling (thafs why lie s so husy some nights—setting up pins at the 'l ). and romancing (tlmts where he is the other nights). • • • • an d now Standing in groups ol twos and threes; impatiently talking of nothing at all; gazing anxiously at a closed door; thus the (lass of 42 began its years in high school. We had attained a new height — f reshmen. Little green animals in a strange pasture (not in our eyes of course). Arguments, friendly fights, girl troubles strengthened a queer bond between two rival groups—Sayreville and South River. Rivals became close friends; odd sights were seen in the dear crowded halls of Old Willett. Such scenes as: Kohler casually walking down the hall alongside of Ernie Neilson (the long and tfie short ol it all); study hall in a constant uproar—lunch period surely—or was it third period study? a tall blonde Parlinite pushing through in the morning (Rye was anxious to be on time); Peaches being dragged into Room 15 l the hair; the dunce seat on the stage in study hall always lilled; Fred Astaire and C linger Rogers doing the honors at dancing class—Certainly. Shirl and Charlie Wade; the 12;50 bus to New Brunswick crowded—with people going to work. I he whole gang literally marched through the entire happy year, then turned, and with a sinking feeling realized it was behind them. A sense ol odd prophecy undermined the feeling ol sadness as the door closed. Coming to our own school was as il we had been given a new clean white page. All the mistakes, grievances, and heartaches were erased from it and we could begin again. I hus we stood again at the door, but this time it opened wide, extending through three years. filled with thoughts and acts that never again will he experienced. I wo classes rattling around in halls that were soon lilled with laughter, friends, and rivals! I ime be- trayed us; our lost friends were only thought of in our spare moments, and they were few and far between. Old friendships were renewed; grammar school acquaintances blossomed; the sophomore class became the “( mug. Home Rooms, the halls, lockers, even the walls buzzed with plans. I hings happened in short order—basketball games and baseball games accompan ie d by volleys of cheers, the A.A. Minstrel given amidst smiles, laughter, and gaiety. W ith the Soph Hop came the ending of a happy year. Happy ? Yes! We soon learned that laughs directed at us could be turned off with a hearty laugh from us. With the Junior year came the realization that the going might be tough, but it was ever our way to try to take things in our stride. Right from a lecture on banging lockers (our chief failing—oh! were not perfect!) to Mid-Year Exams. Hie round ol tests, monthly tests, lailure lists, report OO on years cards all led to Exam� . 1 lie Junior En el ish Exam, oh how we groaned! It was three and a hall hours long il it was a minute.

'SAKOWSKI JOSEPH PRUSAKOWSKI EDWARD RAJEK VICTOR ROSKOWSKI THOMAS WISNIEWSKI In September, 1940, Coach Abbatiello, with the help of Assistant Coaches Reese and Hof- kin, inaugurated football into the realm of Sayreville High School by putting forth a call to all candidates interested in the sport. After weeks of grueling work on the part of the. coaches and players, the team was ready, at last to enter actual scholastic combat. 1 he accomplishments of the team, although not spectacular, proved to be very impressive to the supporters of Sayrevi lie. Tl ie team rounded out tlie season with a record of “) wins, ) losses, and I tie, which may well be called excellent for a team of one year s standing. I he fall of 1941 was a season of great expec- tation. With the exception of a lew players, who were ably replaced by some very promis- ing newcomers, the team was composed of the 50 F Cliumpionsliip Style hardened veterans ol the previous season. Coach Abbatiello and Assistant Coaches Reese and Currie drilled the hoys in tackling, block- ing. punting, and passing. After the usual con ditioning period, the newly termed “BLUE BOMBERS’ set forth to conquer all foes. Savreville 19— Metuchen 0 In tl le lirst scholastic clash of the season the Bombers encountered the grid forces of Metu- chen High. Spurred on by the shouts and cheers of encouragement from their many followers, the team came through with a 19-6 victory. Savreville 6—Key port 0 I he following week Savreville came out on top of a 6-0 decision over the pigskin brigade of Key port. Both teams were slowed down by the mid summer-like heat but the Bombers again hrered on b their ever increasing band of supporters, downed the Red and White forces. Savreville 0—Malawan 0 After a week s lay off. Savreville again took to the striped battlefield to ma tch blows with the Maroon and Cray ol Malawan. 1 lie in- vaders lound the Bombers on an off day. how- ever. and succeeded in holding our boys to a 0 0 tie. Savreville 21—Point Pleasant 6 Anxious to make up lor the scoreless dead- lock of the previous game, the Blue Bombers again got into formation to batter a fairly strong Point Pleasant eleven. I lie boys, led In Fomim w isniewski and Johnny Kotarski. with the sig- nal calling ol Noobs Kwitkowski. went on amid cheers to trounce the shore grid machine. Savreville 45—Wharton 7 W ith a standing record of one tie and no defeats, the Blue and ( � rav forces took to the gridiron to mangle a weak Wharton eleven. After this game, the team and its many fol- lowers began to realize the chance for an un- defea ted season. It was about this time also, that it became known that Savreville had a contender for the title of h igh scorer in onr section in Tommy Wisniewski. Savreville 9—Dunellen 6 I his game was one ol the best of the season. Effective blocking and tackling on the part of the line, and cool, calm determination of the backfield were shown throughout the entire battle. The game was held at a 6-6 deadlock until Big John Kotarski executed a remark- able field goal from approximately the 28 yard- line to set the Bombers ahead 9-6. Savreville 6—Passaic Valley 0 The day had arrived. Wlietl ier or not Savre- ville s squad of Bombers would realize their hopes for an undefeated season was the ques- tion at hand. Steadily increasing numbers of loyal followers were at the Hercules Field to encourage the team on. E ndaunted. the Bomb- ers took on the powerful and favored Passaic Valley eleven, and with our hard charging line and the precision like backfield executing their plays, the big ( «reen and White machine was turned back.

Many of the players on the lirst team have continued lor the past three years. 1 he three-year men include Captain Louis Blaska. Archie Prusakowski, 1 homas Wis- niewski. Edward Rajek and John Kotarski, who was lost during the past season, having reached the age limit. Other students who made the team are: Oeorge Pietruski, Captain of the 1942-43 team: Felix Wisniewski, Richard Litz, John Wortlev, Theodore Gut- kowski. ed Callahan, and loseph Prusakowski. Each player deserves credit and honor for the spirit he has shown. N o one outshadows any other, but the team has paved a good path for future teams to follow—namely, fight and spirit. The past season � records are not a true indication of the ability and prowess ol the players. In fac t, in two years, fifteen games were lost by one or two points. The first year the team was victorious oxer the Faculty, Keyport, Metuchen. . B. II. S. Colts, Home for Boys. Jamesburg. and Hoffman High. They bowed to Jamesburg, St. Mary s, and Hoffman. 1 he second year was marked by wins oxer the Faculty, Metuchen. Mataxxan. and Holy I rinity and losses to Carteret. Scotch Plains.

T TV913MS Ve B A S E B A L I Baseball is another important activity in Savreville s Sports Parade. In the spring of 1910 Coach Abbatiello set out to organize the lirst baseball team in Sayre v ille High School. ith tl leir natural abilities and the able instruction of the Coach, the boys proceeded to make baseball history. Their lirst year of actual scholastic combat proved a very successful and encouraging one. I he spirit carried over from the previous year seemed to have had a great influence on the team of 19 11. I his second year was a banner sear in the progress ol Savreville s diamond scpiad. f rom the very beginning of the season the veterans of one years standing had the prospective look and light of a championship team. I he team continued to win in an effective manner against very tough competi tion. Nick DiBaise, a newcomer to Savreville, contributed some very brilliant pitch- ing. winding up the season with a total of six w ins and no defeats. I his was only one of Nick s laurels as a baseball star. He pitched a no hit game against the school fie formerly attended. I loffman I ligh. Nick also finished the season with an outstanding batting average to make him the top hitter ol the team. Steve Jannos, the veteran pitcher of Savreville. concluded with five wins and one defeat. Steve s batting record was also high on the list. John Kotarski continued in his rare form as a line center fielder. As John was quite a powerhouse with the stick, he proved invaluable to his team-mates. Other players who deserve much credit for their fine performances on the field are: Boh McVeagh, lorn vv isniewski, Louis 151 aska, Stanley Pekarski, Prank l abiszewski, Walter Ardenowski, Walter Kwitkowski, ( ieorge Pietruski, John Helpa, Archie Prusakowski, Jim Coyle, Dick Litz, Prank Hager, Charles Molteg, and Bob Macfarlan.

I I I I II I I PERSONALITIES 36 STUDENT COUNCIL Within I lie Student Council lies a training school lor democracy. By means of ihi- organization the student body, through its elected representatives, is learning to study problems, establish policies, and to regulate extra-curricular activities. December. 1939, marked the induction of student government in Sayreville. Principal John I Fvons, advisor, assisted bv members ol the By-Laws Committee contacted various schools and made a study of Student Council constitutions. From the ideas gleaned, a workable constitution was lormulated lor Sayreville High School. Arousing student interest in school activities was the first project undertaken. An assemhlv program entitled Putting Pep Into Sayreville High marked the combiner 1 efforts of I acuity and council members toward that end. A survey was conducted to determine the number ol pupils taking part in extra-curricular activ- ities. Y ays ol soliciting and encouraging the student body to join the Athletic Association were also studied. Officers for the lirst council were: Irene Piech, Presi- dent: John Klein. Vice-President: Ann Lnkel. Secretary; and Arthur Nowak, I reasurer. I lie second year of student government was highlighted by the formation of a student patrol to police corridors, the presentation of a mock court in assembly which tric d students lor various misdemeanors, and a study of examinations.

Reporters were kept bus tli.it initial year covering such headline stories as the lirst Soph | lop. llu writing cl our Alma Mater, and the lirst Minstrel. Journalistic styles. editing, galleys, headline writing, make up. proof reading, dummy copies all combined to constitute a new kind ol experience lor stafl members. Charles Wade, I «litor in ( hie!, and Dorris Holthausen, Business Manager, headed the organiza- tion. I he M isses Rosemary ( . Miller and C «race I . Kreiger served as editorial and business advisors respei 'lively. I ncler the direction ol Mr Lrederick M. Hofkin, the newspaper last year further expanded and progressed. New terms, such as right column Hush, picas, e:ns. crop, banner head, sans serif, centurv bold, were added to journalistic vocab- ularies. One aim was kept uppermost in mind—to acquire a high rating at the C olumbia Scholastic Press Association C onvention held annually in New 't ork in March, lour o c lock in the morning shifts and long hours at Christie Press to meet zero-hour deadlines were .ill directed toward and helped “Echo-Lites in winning a medal lor a third place rating.

Christ- mas pageant, cake sale, and ended with the trip to New Mirk. Laughs filled the entire day. A stage hit. Higher and Higher, with Jack Haley at the Sluihert 1 heater provided hilarity and all kinds of fun. After the show the entire group went to Jack Dempseys on I'Jghth Avenue for dinner and while there signed his famous register. I he metropolitan excursion was completed l attending a per - formance at the Music Hall. The young 1 hespians exhibited t lie i i talent in an assembb program made up of three one-act plays, all comedies. It proved very successful.

After-school hours on almost any Friday found the dancers practicing the intricate steps of the tango, rumhn. peahody. and the waltz, the objectives in view being the Soph I lop and Junior From. Pointers and instruction were given by Miss Wanda J. Renda, advisor. Dancing hints, how to acquire balance, poise and confidence, and Dos and Don ts of dancing were all stressed. Mimeographed outlines ol various steps were distributed to aid members in overnight practices. Music, sweet and swing, played by such name bands as Miller. Monroe, Dorsey, and Kaye, was furnished by means of recordings which were purchased through the collection of dues. Formal meetings were held twice monthly under the direction ol I hecxlore Unkeh President. Other officers included: Frank Hager, N ice President: Gloria McChesney, Secretary: and Adeline Zwolenski. Ireosurer. A constitution was drawn up which gave the aims of the organization to better acquaint the students with social procedure, to teach them how to dance, and to help them make friends. This year the Dancing Club reorganized with tin same purposes in mind. There was no election of officers. “S 10 SCIENCE CLUB Fhe Science Club, under die guidance ol Mr. Frederick Reese and Mr. W. Sidney Currie was organized in March. IQdO, to foster interest in science. arious experiments in scientific research were executed In members following the business meetings which were presided over by Edwin Kolodziej. A member- liip drive was undertaken in a rather unusual way, the climax of which was an exhibition of scientific phenomena in assembly. In its second year rapid strides were made w ith Robert Dolan serving as Presi- dent. One of the main features of the year was the trip to Philadelphia which was attended by a great majority ol the student body. isits included the Franklin Insti- tute. Fels Planetarium, cademx ol Natural Science, the Aquarium, and Inde- pendence Hall. In the Institute the youthful scientists frequently emitted “ohs and ahs of amazement as they pressed buttons and pulled levers and watched the subsequent maneuvering of huge machines. 1 heir knowledge ol the elements was inadequate to explain these mysterious operations. Induction ol additional members took place and was marked by initiations which «ire even today remembered for their thoroughness. I he present year found the Science C lub again under the leadership of Robert I )olan. Student demand was so intense that the club sponsored another trip to Philadelphia.

I hiring the first year the girls were taught harmony and the fundamentals of music in preparation for the hand concerts to follow. I he winter musicale marked their initial public appearance. C hristmas spirit was brought out by attractive arrangements ol several holiday anthems. One of the most striking scenes was the presentation of Silent Night solemnized in a candle- light ceremony. I lie Spring I estival was a gala event w ith the band and the twirlers attired in new uniforms and the members o f the C «iris ( dee Club appearing in formal dress. Soloists of the evening were ( doria McCliesney, Shirley Mertel, Elva Chap- man. and Yolanda Eenner, who were supported by the choral group.

TANK LINDSON MAT CLUB During physical education classes a group of box� interested in calisthenics practiced tumbling to such an extent that the Mat Club was loundecl. It was devel- oped in 1939 by tl iis number of boys in whom Coach Abbatiello uncovered much acrobatic talent. Practice sessions were held every Wednesday, and after a few weeks on the mats many of the tumblers developed their own specialty acts. Knee springs, back Hips, power rolls, elephant walks, pyramids, and centipedes all figured among their tumbling feats. The boys were called on to perform during assembly programs, min strels, and Middlesex County Physical Education Association meetings. George Pietruski, in his diving leap over the entire company, kept everyone on the edge ol his seat. 'Shorty Paprota was equally spectacular with his complete flips in the air. I he difficult chest roll and neck spring were executed by Louie Maciorowski and Henry Guskovvski. Members of the group Include: Andrew Paprota, George Pietruski, Robert Dolan, Edward Michalik, hdward Grabowski, Harry Week, Edward Loniewski, Louis Maciorowski, Victor Roskowski, and Arthur Nowak.

H. S. sprang up simultaneously with the beginning ol a Music Department. Mr. I ludaU the lirst music supervisor, and Mr. Selover, our Supervising Principal, prepared the plans lor a hand and worked hard to encourage the interest of parents in supporting the organization. As an incentive the Carteret Band gave a concert here, and immediately students and parents were fired with the idea ol building a hand of their own. The mothers formed an organization called the Band Mothers Club and contributed greatly to the formation of this unit. Rehearsals ol novices began, and soon students who had no previous musical training began to play recognizable melodies. 1 he auditorium emitted many evi- dences of saxophone solos, the blare of trumpets, the booming of drums, the crash- ing of cymbals, and occasionally the combination ol all the musical efforts o f the prospective musicians. After strenuously rehearsing after school for the lirst year. Mr. I liidalv continued with training the band in a summer band school. In the lull of 1010 the lirst concert was given by the band. the Cilee Club, and the twirlcrs. The musu al progress ol S. II. S. was definitely assured. ew members were added to the organization, new instruments were purchased, and. possibly most important ol all. plans were made for uniforms. A second concert was given in the spring of 10 11 with the hand appearing for the lir-t time in the new blue and gray cadet uniforms. The spring musicale was «mother important ste p lorward in high school history and a definite advance in music al accomplishment. In addition to concerts, the hand has played lor all w eelcl y assembly pro grams, minstrel show s, and local parades. I he hoys and girls have made a name lor tl irnisel c s as promising musicians. I his y ear under the direction of Mr. Ben- jamin Spieler, present music teacher, a second concert was given and again the band lias become one ol the most active student organizations. DRUM MAJORS I be tw irlers were organized as an important part ol the band. 1 be girls needed fundamental instruction in the handling of batons and then had to supplement these lessons with hours of practice to develop the skill which they now exhibit. I heir contributions have been especially meritorious. Each y ear new members from incoming classes are added to the group and eventually the 1 wirlers Club will become another significant organ ol student expression. Mr. Spieler is also advisor ol tlie girls and drills them in the routine of twirling. Sophie Suchowiecki has been the Drum Majorette for the past two years. 40 PUBLISHING SAYREVILLE'S FIRST YEARBOOK Dolores Kitchen William Bailey Robert Geiger EDITORIAL Editor in-Chief Irene Piech Associate Editors Eeaturo Editors Roxanni McNutt Elva Chapman Virginia Grover Alfred IIknne Robert McLaughlin Ruth Meirosf.

Today we have all of these and more. This progress could not have been achieved without two factors: civic leadership and the cooperation of the taxpayers and residents of the Borough. We supported and worked for the High School beccuse we realized the importance of education—to the individual, the Community, the State and the Nation. The presence of a High School here should, and we are confident will, have a tremendous effect upon building up the morale of the Community. It should and will imbue in the Community a sense of self-reliance, self-suf- ficiency and self-respect the essence of Community Pride and Community Spirit. Sayreville offers its students every opportunity they aspire to- and prepare themselves for. Not only is America the most favored and fortunate of all nations, but New Jersey is one of the most favored of its forty-eight states, and Sayreville one of the most favored of its municipalities. Our Borough is favored particularly in the opportunities it offers for those of its citizens with the vision and courage and determination to avail themselves of them. Strategically located, ample in size, possessing a wealth of natural resources, the center of a group of thriving and progressive industries—it literally enjoys unlimited potentialities. In the next few decades the mantle of leadership—in the civic, commercial and professional life of the Community shall fall upon the shoulders of the students of today. It is the sincere and heartfelt wish of the Governing Body that the Students and Faculty will do full justice to the opportunities presented —and we are confident that you will! Sincerely yours, JOHN J. CROSS, Mayor Members of Borough Council J. Henry Boehm Philip McCutcheon Charles P. Buchanan Anthony Popowski Andrew Maliszewski Wilbur D. Rappleyea 56 WHAT IS EDUCATION? WELL, HERE IS THE ANSWER GIVEN BY SOME OF THE MASTERS: 1 Public instruction should be the first object of government.—Napoleon. 2 It a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from, him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.—Franklin 3. Knowing does not comprise aJi which is contained in the large term of education The feelings are to be disciplined: the passions are to be restrained- true and worthy motives are to be inspired a profound religious feeling is to be instilled, and pure morality inculcated under all circumstances. All this is comprised in education — Daniel Webster. 4. Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress—no crime destroy -no enemy alienate—no despotism enslave. At home, a friend; abroad, an introduction; in solitude, a solace, and in society, an ornament. Without it, what is man?- Varle. 5. There are five tests of the evidence of education—correctness and pre- cision in the use of the mother tongue; refined and gentle manners, the result of fixed habits of thought and action sound standards of appreciation of beauty and of worth, and a character based on those standards; power and habit of reflection, efficiency or the power to do.—Nicholas Murray Butler. 6. Education is the cheapest defense of nations.—Burke. 7. We can advance and develop democracy but little faster than we can advance and develop the average level of intelligence and knowledge within the democracy. That is the problem that confronts modem educators.—Samuel Gompers. 8. It is on the sound education of the people that the security and destiny of every nation chiefly rest.—Kossuth. 9. If we work upon marble, it will perish; if on brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumple into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds, and imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of our fellow-men, we engrave on those tablets something that will brighten to all eternity.—Daniel Webster. 10. Instruction ends in the schoolroom, but education ends only with life. A child is given to the universe to be educated.—F. W. Robertson.
