of SAYREVILLE HIGH SCHOOL SAYREVILLE, NEW JERSEY Our High School Days Were Spent In.......... 1956 QUOVADIS Published by the Senior Class of SAYREVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Sayreville, New Jersey Foreword As we come to the end of our high school ed- ucation, the Class of 1956 presents this book as a memorial to those four years. Within these pages, we have striven, through words and pictures, to show you some of our many wonderful Moments to Remember. We have tried to make this is- sue of Quovadis not only a reflection of the past, but also a monument to the future classes with the hope that they will carry on not only this, but each tradition of Sayreville High School. DEDICATION We, the Class of 1956, dedicate our yearbook to all of Sayre- ville High School's Quovadis advisors, from the first to the last. Quovadis has had the good fortune to be endowed with conscien- tious, talented advisors. These people are the unheralded heroes of every yearbook production. The first advisor was Miss Ann Miller. Other hard working advisors were Mr. Robert Faulkner and our present principal, Miss Margaret Walsh. Perhaps the advisor who best typifies these qualities is Mr. James Todd, the yearbook advisor for the last five years. It is to these fine men and women that this yearbook is dedicated. EDWIN J. BAUMANN J. HOWARD KOLB HAROLD BOEHM GOVERNING BODY Sayreville's Governing Council met monthly at the Borough Hall on Main Street. Here, our six councilmen and mayor strove to solve the many problems of borough gov- ernment. Each year during the Youth Week program, the council cooperated with the students to the fullest extent. Our daily living took on a greater feeling of safety when we knew that we had a reliable government behind us. To our governing council, the Class of 1956 wished to express its thanks and appreciation for the competent government and fine opportunities that were given to us. ANTHONY POPOWSKI Mayor RAYMOND PRESNAL ALFRED SCHUSSLER JOSEPH ZIEMBA 5 BOARD OF EDUCATION JAMES CALLAHAN CHARLES LYNCH Each month, a group of nine citizens met in the Administration Building on Main Street. These nine men were the members of Sayreville's Board of Education. Under the direction of their president, they decided on the school problems. With an ever-growing community, the board faced the problem of over-crowded schools. De- spite the important issues that were before them, they always found it possible to provide high school students with a banquet for our athletes, band, twirlers, and cheerleaders; pro- fessional entertainment in our assembly programs and our Echo-Lites and Quovadis without the necessity of outside advertisements. They always stood behind our schools with the fundamental needs for our education. The Class of 1956 wished to express its thanks to the Board of Ed- ucation for its constant help in making our years at Sayreville High School Moments to Remem- ber. JOSEPH KEENAN WALTER ZAMORSKI GEORGE WIST WILLARD ZACH STANLEY NOWAK STEPHEN MALIK 6 To The Class of '56: Gentleness is welcome! This state- ment is repeated many times each day to millions of radio listeners. It is drama- tized and set to music for T.V. viewers. As a slogan, it is worthy of a higher application, a more significant urgency. It epitomizes a behavior pattern which, if widely adopted, would do much toward reducing the tensions of our world. Successful implimentation of such a concept of behavior rests with youth. May your lives abound with those suc- cesses for which you are willing to strive and may your strivings contain much of the quality of gentleness. RICHARD S. POLLACK Superintendent of Schools MRS. BETTY KROEGER Secretary MISS MARION SAMSEL Secretary I 7 MISS MARGARET M. WALSH Principal Four years of training at Sayreville High School have been added to your memories. The preface to your life has been completed. Now you enter into the reality of the adult world. It is within the power of each of you to accept your re- sponsibilities with enthusiasm and ability. Only as long as you respect human dignity and worth will you fulfill the aims for your future life. 8 MRS. MILDRED TRENT Secretary We ore indebted, to our Faculty CHRISTOPHER CORNELL Music B.S.

ROBERT WITKOWSKI 36 Kearney Ave. South Amboy Whitey was one of the best athletes of the Senior class. On the basketball court or the baseball diamond, Boo couldn't be beaten. We know •‘■his spirited fellow has done well. LUCILLE WOLANIN 36 Canal St. Sayreville Tall and pretiy described our Lucy. Her pretty clothes and dark wavy hair were envied by all the girls. Lucy had the ability to make friends and keep them. But most of all we have never forgotten Lucy and her car. ROBERTA YANAS 31 Laurel St. South Amboy A giggle and a rapidly-moving-lower jaw characterized Bobbi . Whenever she was around, you were sure to have a lot of fun. Her favorite pastime was being co- prexy of the Crew Cuts Fan Club. Bob- bi's goal in life was to be a successful teacher. 42 ALVIN ZACH 465 Main St. Sayreville Hunting and fishing were Alvin's favorites. He loved the outdoors as much as he disliked homework. Alvin was uncertain about his future work, but you can be sure it was a job which allowed him time for his favorite pastime. GERALD SNYDER Washington Road President Park Though he was one of the newer addi- tions to Sayreville High, Jerry was indeed a welcomed one. An import from Me- tuchen High, Jerry made a number of friends during his short stay with us. Al- though his future was undecided, our best wishes went with him. RITA SCHUH 254 Greenwood Drive Cliffwood Beach A late addition to Sayreville High, Rita made many friends in her new environ- ment. The Bronxite got right into the swing of things by singing for us at assemblies. We know that she has been successful in all her pursuits. 43 Senior NANCY ALBRO—Home Economics Club, Mathematics Club, Word Study Club, Junior Play, Senior Play, Echo-Lites, Student Council Vice President, Quovadis, Honor Society.

Yes, it all seemed like a make-believe play, but it wasn't. It was our hard-worked-for goal—the Senior trip to Washing- ton, D. C. Many interesting and unexpected things happened which we will never forget. Our trip going to Washington was a noisy one with everyone singing and cracking jokes. The first stop was at Howard Johnson's where we had lunch. Finally we reached our nation's capital and a tour of its in- teresting points began. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing showed us what could be done with a stack of plain white paper. Then we went to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, The Library of Congress, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial and then to the Hotel Annapolis to freshen up for dinner and the theatre where we saw 1 he Tender Trap, a gay comedy. Back at the hotel we ate such a variety of foods that we were convinced that our stomachs were iron lined. We awoke (those of us who were asleep) and began the second day of our trip. The visit to Mt. Vernon was the first one on the agenda. Here we examined the home of our first president. The second half of the day was spent at the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian Institute and the Arlington National Cemetery where at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier we witnessed the impressive changing of the guard. As we left Washington, we knew we left many happy memories behind. We had a Senior trip we will never forget. The bus ride back was noisier than the one coming up. As they rolled into Sayreville High's parking lot, we could not believe that it was over. Our trip was completed and the play came to an end. Characters: The Senior Class of '56.

McGARIGLE Advisor WITOLDA KLACKIEWICZ Art Editor GEORGE MICHALIK Art Editor QUOVADIS Our staff was organized after the selection of the editors in June of '55. After the finished dummy was returned to us early in September, we began working on the completion of the Senior Section. Staff members wrote and corrected write- ups, while the art editors worked on the sketches and drawings. Early in January the Senior Section was sent to press, and we began devoting our time to the other sections. Clubs and activities were next on the agenda. Meanwhile our Business Manager started taking orders from the underclassmen. Soon after the book was sent to the publisher in March, the printed galleys came back to be corrected. We checked and re- checked carefully, making sure everything was in perfect order. Finally in June the 1956 Quovadis, with its blue and gray cover arrived. For his important role as advisor, we offered our thanks to Mr. McGarigle, the adult member of the staff. THOMAS GALINSKI Photographer Staff, First row, left to right: D. Poplowski, D. Roginslci, V.

While the Editor wrote editorials which would be of in- terest to the students, our art editor collected ideas, the fashion editors sought to find the latest fashions and our sports editor got an inside view of rhe games. These columns along with latest news around the school appeared in each edition. Reporters, an essential factor in publishing an up to date paper, kept their eyes open for good copy about the school. In the last issue of the paper, published in June, a page was devoted to phrases about the seniors. The staff found this to be quite a job but also a lot of fun. This year the staff of Echo-Lites received a Stephen Crane Memorial Certificate in recognition of the high quality of journalism displayed by the staff in the 19th Annual Press Project. We are grateful to Mrs. Pfeiffer, our advisor, whose valuable guidance made it possible for the Editor and staff to produce a paper five times a year. We can never forget the enthusiasm which each edition fostered. RUTH MORGAN Editor 53 VINCENT CHITREN NANCY ALBRO Valedictorian Salutatorian HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society was chosen by the principal and the faculty. Selection was based on the qualities of scholarship, leadership, character and service. The members possessed all four qualities, and their induction into the National Honor Society made them honorary members. We were proud to have such an outstanding group of students in our class.

STUDENT COUNCIL Due to the increased enrollment, the '55-'56 Council was the largest ever at Sayreville High. With the greater number of students, the Council was faced with greater and more numerous problems. The Council, under the leadership of its president Vince Chitren and advisor Mrs. A. Marra, looked after the interests of the pupils and worked for a better school. MRS.

We had prac- ticed and practiced and practiced our parts till we could repeat them forwards, backwards and sideways, but there still remained that unparalleled thrill of playing for a live audience. The play was en- joyed by all who made it a financial success, too. Beauty and the Beef, a three act comedy, was one of the highlights of the year, and truly a moment to remember.

The experience we gained in our freshman and sophomore years has cer- tainly proven invaluable to us. Do you remember when we held our first dance in our freshman year? We learned a lot then, didn't we? Our sophomore year was a memorable one.

As Juniors with a year background under the guidance of excellent advisors, we became dedicated to Sayreville High. We shall always do our utmost to strengthen these walls around us. We had many things to be thankful for, and most certainly, the fact that we are constantly being prepared to take a future part in this competitive world of ours.

In September of 1954, we began high school as freshmen always do—getting lost and being late for classes. Soon, how- ever, Sayreville High seemed like home and we settled down to our studies and activities. In January, we elected Phyllis Zonkowski, Jon Herrel, Marguerite Shuler and Michael Helpa as our class officers. Later in that same month, we held our first dance, The January Jig, which proved to be a big success. We shall always remember our freshman year as one fun and new experiences. In our sophomore year, we organized our class by electing Jon Herrel as president, James Conover as vice-president, Ronald Ciszewski as secretary and Patricia Pursarczyk as treas- urer. Our main social event of the year was a dance, The Jack Frost Fling. The auditorium walls were adorned with Jack Frost cut-outs and brightly colored leaves. Those Moments to Remember during our first two years would never have been possible without the aid of our advisers: Mrs. Todd, Mrs. Galbraith and Mr. Evanovich.

The school building in itself, those difficult schedules to be followed, strange teachers and new subjects all added to the confusion. It seemed to be the longest school day we had ever experienced. Everyone tried so hard to follow his schedule, but more often than not, we went to the wrong classrooms at the wrong times. The chuckles over this from the other freshmen helped break J. Stockel, R.

We were now familiar with the school program and an air of unify prevailed. We were full-fledged members of the student body and we even had a title—the Class of 1959. Soon it was time for our big social event—the freshman dance, of course. This really made us feel that we belonged, and that first frightening day seemed far, far away.

A variety of sub- jects including Geometry, English, Algebra, Latin and Trigonometry were offered in this course. Our vocabulary was given a thorough polishing and we were briefed on what to expect in college. We were then ready. What happened was up to us. Commercial To those of us who were enrolled in the Commercial Course, great opportunities in the business world were offered. We had been thoroughly trained in the skills of shorthand and typing. The Office Practice experience which we received in our sen- ior year helped us to visualize modern everyday office procedure. During this fifteen week period several of us were sent to enterprises in the Sayreville, South Amboy, South River and New Brunswick areas. Here we were allowed to capture the true meaning of office work and to adjust it to our lives and future work. 64 Industrial Arts We who were enrolled in the Industrial Arts Course found through the meaning of trade our life's ambition. We trained industriously in Metal Shop, Wood Shop, and Mechanical Drawing. There was wonder and triumph in working with our hands and producing creations of our own. In the future which was upon us we had a use for this knowledge and continued to do so. General Here in the General Course, we who were undecided could experiment. From the variety of subjects offered, we took those which we felt would benefit us the most. We studied different things year after year until we at last found one field we were sure we would like. Among the subjects offered were Algebra, Art, Bookkeeping, Metal Shop, Typing and Spanish.

Their wonderful sportsmanship will never be forgotten. It was a team hit hard by graduation, but under the expert guidance of Mr. Counsman, they provided many exciting moments. The climax of the season was the brilliant upset of our traditional rival, Saint Peter's. Along with the wonderful team work sported by our boys, the girls did their part. Our girls were often seen at the games selling refreshments while rooting for their team. At graduation our wish for continued success went with the new Sayreville High School football team. 71 ► Whitey Butch BASKETBALL They gave their best for the Blue and Gray Underdog was the hackneyed expression de- scribing the '55-'56 Bombers. Pitted continuously against taller and stronger teams, the S.H.S. basket- ball squad showed them all how spirit and fight can overcome other handicaps. They reached the Group II Central Jersey Finals by surprising two highly favored teams, Red Bank and Highland Park. The Bombers played their hearts out in the final game against Lakewood, but the height ad- vantage that the Piners' enjoyed was just two points too much, the Bombers losing 66-64. We shall remember the '55-'56 S.H.S. basketball team as one which provided many thrilling moments by their spirited team play.

LORRAINE MAJEWSKI Drum Majorette TWIRLERS' We can remember many enjoyable moments spent admiring the high-strutting twirlers going through their routines at all the football games. The girls seemed to get prettier and more talented each year. They certainly were a credit to our school whenever they participated in a parade. We admired other twirling groups but our own twirlers always seemed to out-shine them, at least through our eyes. SAYREVILLE BAND One of Sayreville High School's oldest activities and greatest assets was our school band. Under the leadership of Mr. Cornell, the club started its busy music program playing for all our football games. We also saw the band at parades in near-by communities and at all assemblies. The members devoted a great deal of time to preparation for the Annual Spring Concert. First row, left to right: M. Anaya, C. Jinks, E. Norell, R. York, K. Beauregard, R. Golla. Second row: B.

CHEERLEADERS ider the leadership of Mrs. Fehrle, advisor, and Joan Nawalany, the cheerleaders were seen encouraging the foot- ball and basketball games. Cheerleading is a very popular activity held in the spring of the year and the incoming mem- bers are chosen on the basis of cheering ability and per- sonality. They certainly looked neat in their blue corduroy dresses. MRS. FEHRLE Advisor JV, Left to right: P. Zonlcowski, M. Zamorski, H. Mickiewicz, B.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Fehrle, the gym teacher, teams organized in homerooms played against each other until all teams but one were eliminated. Emblems were then given to the vic- tors. Since the girls were interested in basketball, a tournament was conducted in the same man- ner as the volleyball competition. Other sports which were enjoyed by all the girls were archery and softball. ACTIVITIES 78 We had many happy moments to remember at our school dances. The annual Kick-Off Dance and our Christmas Carnival left many wonderful memories. As swishing skirts and rhythmic feet glided over the floor, we knew that our dances would long hold a place in our hearts.
