Within these pages we record the bittersweet memories of school life at Sayreville War Me- morial High School.

May they always remain true to their Alma Mater, perpetuate its finest traditions, and uphold its dignity and honor. =■■■IB ■ - i c’ isw- epggSg SAYREVILLE WAR MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL SAYREVILLE. MIDDLE SEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY DEDICATION — DECEMBER 1, 1962 TO THE CLASS OF ’63 New people are christened—new ships are launched—new books are published— new behavior is learned—new schools are dedicated. Your class has the honor of being the first to graduate from the Sayreville War Memorial High School; so you in a sense are dedicated to and identified with it. It is my sincere hope that your dedica- tion will, with the help of God, contribute substantially to your success in fulfilling the promise of the “new horizons” which now beckon you. May the energy of your minds be joy- fully spent in molding its phantasmagoria into a reality of peace, good will, and plenty. R. S. Pollack Superintendent DR. RICHARD S. POLLACK Superintendent of Schools 6 MR. VINCENT ABBATIELLO Assistant Superintendent MISS MARGARET M. WALSH Principal To the Class of 63 New horizons, extra performance, unbounded confi- dence, persistance of a dream, are what the future is offering to the Class of '63. The new horizons are a challenge to devise means to carry on the spirit of in- dividual enterprise. The habit of unbounded confi- dence and the use of talents culminate in making dreams come true. Your Alma Mater has a share in both the past and the future. It is significant that the world of the Class of ’42 was no less uncertain than the world of 1963. The size and stature of your Alma Mater is measured by the high-level performance of the graduates. Her source of strength and character is in the students who in successive generations have kept alive ideals. The progress of your Alma Mater will be a summa- tion of your efforts and accomplishments. So walk on the sunny side of the street proud and full of plans for the future. MARGARET M.

Members are chosen from the Honor Group—each candidate of which has sustained a B average throughout his high school years— on the basis of scholarship, leadership, citizen- ship, service, and character by the principal and faculty. On March 8 of this year, the twenty- four members of the Honor Group were in- ducted into the Society during a solemn candle- light ceremony. The highest of honors one can receive is to be selected valedictorian of his class. Sayreville High’s two top students, Marianne Kwiatkowski and Alan Wolff, having produced excellent work and maintained a four year straight A average were co-valedictorians. Barbara Barnett and Rita Bauman were named Salutatorian and Terterian, respectively. Both girls have maintained excel- lent four year averages. MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED A. Wolff — M.

Carew 53 WASHINGTON, Neither rain nor snow—snowbound Seniors visit Alt. Vernon Prominent in each Senior’s memoirs is the Washington Trip—an eventful day excursion when the Seniors visit the capital city. The separate day- jaunts were held on Monday, Novem- ber 5 and Wednesday, November 7. The grounds of Mt. Vernon blanket- ed with snow provided a pleasant set- ting by which to dine. Those adven- turous and hardy enough toured the grounds of our first president’s home. In the city of Washington, a tour was conducted through the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. The Seniors then proceeded on to the Capitol and 54 The Class D. C. 1962 were guided through the various cham- bers, after which all assembled on the lawn for the group picture. Another place of fascination was the Smithson- ian Institute through which the class was free to stroll at will. Before leaving for home, the Sen- iors observed another tradition and fared at the New York Avenue Hot Shoppe. Bringing the end to a delight- ful day and the close to a memorable event was the arrival of two dimly lit buses on the high school grounds trans- porting their weary passengers—chap- erons and students alike—home.

JUNIOR CLASS The Class of ’64 initiated its annual activi- ties with the election of Junior officers, who then worked diligently for the remainder of the year in planning the class’ various activities. Among the most memorable of these were the Junior Play and the Junior-Senior Prom—both of which were held in the spring. Too, another pleasant event evolved about the presentation of class rings. All was made possible through the co-operative efforts of the class as a whole, its advisors, and its officers who together are to be congratulated for a most successful year. Surely will they find such success in even greater measure in their final year here. 58 We shall return. . .

SOPHOMORE CLASS After successfully completing their first year at Sayreville High and finally acquiring that “accustomed look,” the Sophomores re-entered school in Septem- ber well prepared to strive for the attainment of this same desirable goal. Thus, soon after the initial weeks of exciting adjustment had passed, work was begun. The first matter to be dealt with was the election of class officers—for these representatives then, with the invaluable aid of the advisors, could, at all times, be turned to when problems arose or activities were to be planned. Highlight- ing the events on their yearly agenda was the Sophomore Sweetheart Dance at which time the class King and Queen were crowned. This, together with various other activities, has been definite proof of the final achievement of their goal—the last two years being as wonderful and as happy as those enjoyed as underclassmen. CLASS ADVISORS Mr. Allan Mount, Miss An- nette Sowa, and Mr. Vincent Modzelewski. 60 61 The end is in sight CLASS OFFICERS Seated, left to right: Secretary, Chris- tine Hand; Treasurer, June Waincyok. Standing: President, George Arm- strong; Vice President, Roy Place. FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman class, newest addition to the halls of the high school, was also its largest. Thus, after much ado had been spent in settling down and be- coming acquainted with their surroundings, they held the election of class offi- cers. These representatives then, together with the advisors, worked perseveringly in coordinating the ’62-’63 activities. The most important event, the Freshman Dance, was held in the spring. However, this was only the first in a chain of very successful events which shall inevitably accompany their years here. CLASS ADVISORS Mrs. Vivian Barron, Mr. Walter Kavvalec, Mrs. Frances Hode, and Mr. Gerald Stefanski. 62 w E LCOME TO oua TAP Candidates—Lisa Cole and Roger Felts. When We Were UNDERCLASSMEN . . .

ENGLISH The Liberal Arts program provides for the student intensive training in the fields of Eng- lish, Social Studies, and Foreign Languages. Concerning the first, one is not only able to be- come skilled in all facets of the English language and its literature, but is also given the oppor- tunity to acquire a knowledge of speech, dra- matics, and the newspaper through courses in Basic Speech Experiences and Journalism. In re- gard to the second, the student finds himself able to participate in various classes of history —World, Modem European, and Contemporary —and in the study of Economics and Vocational Civics, as well as in the required U.S. History I and II courses. Lastly, for anyone so inclined, there are periods that may be spent in the world of foreign languages—be they French, Latin, or Spanish. SOCIAL STUDIES SCIENCES Develop ability in .. . CHEMISTRY PHYSICS From the practical to the advanced, from the basic to the honor course—it is in this way that the range of science studies afforded here can best be described, for certainly the variety of classes in the fields of Mathematics and the Sciences leave little to be desired. There are, of course, the standard offerings of both made available—these being Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry in the one and Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in the other. However, they alone do not comprise the program. Additional courses that augment the usual, and satisfy the appetite of the more interested student may also be taken. Thus is one afforded the opportunity to delve further into the world of advanced and modern math as well as that of science. Too, for the less interested student basic, applied, and practical classes are existant. 67 MATHEMATICS BUSINESS Fosters training in .. . BUSINESS TRAINING TYPING Equipped to satisfy the needs of everyone, the curriculum also offers a very detailed study of the business world. Here, in this program, the student is given excellent training in every facet of business, so that he will be most prepared to spend his days as a secretary or businessman. The courses afforded are many. Constituting this program are not only Typing, Notehand and Stenography, but also General Business, Record Keeping, Office Machines, Economic Geography, Selling, Distributive Education, Business Law, Business Problems, and Bookkeeping. To com- plete this study, Office Practice and General Clerical Practice are provided for work ex- perience. 68 STENOGRAPHY INDUSTRIAL ARTS Offer basics in . . . MECHANICS The courses which are included in the Indus- trial Arts program have been designed to ac- commodate both boys and girls. For the future homemaker there are various classes in which she may enroll, so that her knowledge in this field might be broadened. Among the offerings are Foods and Nutrition, Clothing and Textiles, The Home and Its Furnishings, and Personal Development and Family Relations. Then, to encourage and develop the talents of an indus- trially-minded boy, several courses of study are afforded him. They include work in the various shops — Electrical, General Machine, Metal, Wood, Graphic Arts, and Automotive, as well as in Drafting — both Basic and Advanced. DRAFTING 69 HOME ECONOMICS FINE ARTS Apply techniques in .. . MUSIC Upon enrollment in any one of the fields constituting the Fine Arts program the student can be certain that only the best in training and most invaluable in experi- ence shall present themselves. Too, he may be assured that the offerings made available in this program of Art, Music, and Physical Education shall be numerous. Thus, the lover of art itself might choose to study extensively in Basic and Advanced Art, as well as in Art Apprecia- tion and Art Workshop, while the devotee of music may elect to participate in any of the very rewarding classes of Band, Orchestra, Harmony, Chorus, and Music Appre- ciation. Finally, there has been planned, for the welfare of every student, a developmental program of physical education. In addition, four years of health are to be had. They revolve about the following studies—Personal Health and Hygiene, Community and Mental Health, Driver and Safety Education, and First Aid.

STUDENT COUNCIL President MARIANNE KWIATKOWSKI The Student Council is the official rep- resentative body of the students, having as its aims the encouragement of the practice of good citizenship, the promotion of school spirit, the encouragement of good scholarship, and the betterment of student- faculty relations. Composed of elected, re- sponsible students, the Council strives to convey a favorable image of the student body. Its duties are many and varied. The Council serves as a sounding board for stu- dent opinion, an agency for the welfare of students, a clearing house for student ac- tivities, and an integral part of the educa- tional system. With the assistance of ad- visors Mrs. Angelica Marra and Mrs. Irene Arthur, the Council attempts to make Sayre- ville’s high school one of which students may be proud. Advisors MRS.

QUO VADIS Editor-in-Chief BARBARA ANN ZIEMSKI Beginning with the selection of the editors and staff members, work on this twenty-first edition of Quo Vadis began.

Through after-school meetings and many hours of dedicated work, the various jobs were ac- complished—ranging from the selection of the cover to the laying-out of the supplement that will ac- company this edition.

Although in final statistics the squad outscored their op- ponents 110-90, they lost five games by a total of twenty-one points. The highlight game of the season was the Bombers versus state ranked Carteret in which the Ramblers were trounced 25-6. Not overshadowed by the seasonal record were many fine individual performances. The Bombers were widely proclaimed as the best .500 foot- ball team in the county. On the All-Middlesex County Football Squad, Bomber captain Ed Gorchinski was named to first team end and to first string group on the All-State level. Co-captain Marty Szarvas was named second team fullback, tackle John Tyskiewicz made third team, co-cap- tain Bob Anderson became halfback, and center Walt Keller received an honorable mention. Congratulations to all the boys who helped mold our defense minded team and best wishes for the unqualified success of next years squad. Coaches Front: Mr. Richard Reichenbach.

It was a much improved basketball squad which took the floor for Sayre- ville High this year. Behind a well balanced attack, the cagers beat some formid- able opponents and again carried the Sayreville banner into the State Tourna- ments. This was an unusual season as the team sputtered, then spurted its way through twenty-two games. Overshadowing the few heartbreaking defeats were some thrilling victories. But this team accomplished something of immeasurable importance—it re-established Sayreville as a basketball power. Rick hits with a jump-shot 49 Woodbridge . - 67 67 Madison Township ......53 51.

LYNN PAUL WRESTLING Wrestling came into its own this year at Sayre- ville High. Due to increased student interest, there was a good turnout for the team and a jump in attendance at the meets. This was pri- marily a rebuilding year with sophomores and juniors holding better than half the posts. With a years experience behind them, they should make Sayreville a winning team in 1964. 96 The Gumpper Grip TRACK Front row, left to right: J. Macchia, S. Bittner, E. Targonski, E. Kaczmarek, P.

The team should have a perfect balance of experienced veterans and improving new prospects to insure the strong intrasquad competition which pushes athletes to excel. The return of Middlesex Coun- ty shot put champion Ed Sowa will give Sayre- ville strength in the weights, and, if some of the new men come through, the team will have an edge over its opponents in the track events. Over the winter Sayreville inaugurated a cross country program. There were only three meets this year, but next year a full schedule will be played. Since this years team was comprised primarily of underclassmen, the team should have a solid nucleus next year. First row, left to right: Manager, J. Shindle; G. Solook, M. Rock, M. McCarthy, T.

Coaches Mr. Edward McGarigle and Mr. Daniel Newcomer CROSS COUNTRY 97 BASEBALL Coaches Mr. John Wortley, Mr. Homer Dill, and Mr. Vito Recine Putting his trust in this years team with six veteran lettermen—Rick Pap- rota, Ed Kozicki, Richard Kupcha, Terry Popowski, Dennis Dzergoski, and Phil Musso—coach John Wortley is optimistic for this season’s record. Too, the suc- cess of the team depends upon a fine crop of promising underclassmen. They are expected to bolster an inexperienced pitching staff and to fill openings in the lineup left by last year’s graduates. If they come along as is expected, Sayreville will have a fine baseball team for years to come. Bat boy: John Wortley, Jr. First row, left to right: R. Korrxacki, T. Rummel, J. Bettoli, Coaches V.
