Himey 3 Our New Environment — A Source of Change It is at Sayreville War Memorial High School that we begin a process of development. This process is influenced by many phases of school life — relaxation, seclusion, learning together and building friendships. We are encouraged to share in the festivities and the responsibilities that come with this new environment. It is through the acceptance of these respon- sibilities we realize our potential for change is unlimited and that the goals we once thought to be idle dreams are now within reach. Top: Lunch provides a break in the day for Carol Pavao and Joyce Penna as they enjoy a welcome change in atmosphere.

Above: Moments before returning a diffi- cult serve, Phil Sollecito displays the form necessary for victory. Right: Preparing themselves for competi- tion, Lynn Lucas and Rhonda Rompola go through a routine practice. The many aspects of interscholastic athletics provide the student with varied opportunities for growth throughout the high school years. The determination and patience needed to carry the athlete through long and difficult prac- tices help to develop the skill and confidence necessary for rewarding and competitive play. The final experience of victory brings about the sense of pride and accomplishment that is the hallmark of a true athlete. The Sayreville High School curriculum offers each of us a chance to learn at the pace best suited to our abilities. In addition to the traditional student-teacher relationships, we can take advantage of the opportunities for the practical application of skills, individual research or group study. The experiences gained through these diverse means of study help in the development of a well educated student, capable of success in his or her cho- sen career. Top Lett: Mr. Resh's art class provicJes an outlet for George Stoddard to express his imagination amid the daily routine. Top: In gym class, Scott Unkel out jumps his opponent, Joe Weber.

Sharing Responsibility and Recreation The program of extra curricular activities at Sayreville High School provides each of us with the opportunity to participate in a united effort and promote school and community spirit. School activities provide one of the best ways a student can seek individual advancement through voluntary cooperation. Participants in activities discover that while helping others they can derive pleasure for themselves by sharing both the fun and the responsibility involved in after school functions. Through involvement in activities, students learn to achieve as individuals while sharing in group accomplishment. It is this spirit of indi- viduality, coupled with a sense of unity that will prepare us for future endeavors. v Left: Senior cheerleaders Donna Sowley and Donna Vargo convince Sayreville fans that the Bombers are ffl.

Above: Near the end of 5th period lunch, Pat Walter poses for a smile. Left: Karin Jones takes a moment for reflection during a thought provoking lecture. The members of the Class of 1977 have a unique perspective on matters both past and yet to come. They strive to attain individual goals while looking back fondly on the memories of days gone by. Combining experiences of the past with hopes for the future enables the senior to face the chal- lenges ahead with a sense of awareness and opti- mism. It is this understanding of one's self that will enable the senior to continue the process of devel- opment that has begun at Sayreville High School. c 13 On the Threshold of a Journey Top Left: Cathy Lowe and Terry Wands share a reflective moment after lunch.

Curious and full of anticipation, sophomores begin a learning process when they enter SWMHS. The high school is a new and exciting environment in which they will embark on a series of new experiences. On the threshold of a journey of development, they will be influenced by peer groups as well as teachers. As members of the junior class, these same individuals will have matured on a personal level and will have developed a sense of unity made possible only by sharing similar experi- ences. Every area of life now begins a process of expansion and these students view the future with a vibrant enthusiasm and a never ending curiosity. 15 Top: Steve Dauda and Daryl Roberts learn to express their talents musically. Above: )ohn Salvatore satisfies his curiosity through scientific investigation. Encouraging Individualism In throe years, the fat uity and facilities of Sayreville High School have provided us with those tools nec essary to begin a process of edu- cation. The information we acquired is only a small percentage of the knowledge we will one day possess. Our teachers and classes have provided us with a foundation upon which we might build. Our education was advanced through formal and informal conversations with our peers. Dis- cussions drew us out of the confines of the classroom and into the outside world. The academic diversity provided at Sayreville High School enabled us to develop as individu- als and formed a bridge from ourselves to all humanity. We have been encouraged to create and strive for goals — to improve and to be improved. CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM CURRICULUM editor: karen meguire T E Brings About Change Through Involvement To educators throughout the State of New Jersey, July 'I, '1976 will be a day not soon forgot- ten. It was on this day that the New Jersey Supreme Courl ordered the c losing of every public ally supported educational facility in the State. This unprecedented action and the approval of the Public Education Act of 1975 brought about the critical task of fulfilling the requirements of a thorough and efficient educa- tion for every student. Thorough and Efficient (T E), is a system of improving education by instituting a process rather than a specific program of educational development. As stated in New Jersey Law Stat- utes, the goal of this process is to provide all pupils in the state with the educational oppor- tunity which will prepare them to function politically, economically and socially in a demo- cratic society. T E is concerned with bringing improvement to all schools within the state. A necessary part of T E is an increased involvement of the community, as well as teach- ers, parents, students and administrators in the educational system. The community and school district, together with state direction, will aim to produce a well-rounded educational program suitable to the individual district. The' actual process of T E is to be carried out over a five-year cycle. The first phase is the set- ting of statewide goals. Each school district then develops goals that will complement these in a local sense. In Sayreville, the goal development process is in effect. Throughout the next five years, the Sayreville community will be involved in this ever expand- ing process. Objectives will develop and these will determine a needs identification program. After measuring the progress made in various educational areas, programs will be revised, abolished or replaced, according to the needs identification. The' last phase of the cycle is to take place in the fifth year. This is an evaluation of the1 entire process. Thorough and Effic ient is a continuous program. At the end of the first five year cycle, policies and programs will be renovated so that the community may continue this process of educational improvement.

In the Creative Expression and Theatre Arts classes, students learn to convey ideas through roundtable discussions, exchanges and physical involvement in the study of theatrical works. The more methodical programs are incorpo- rated into such courses as World Literature, Seminar in British Literature and American Writ- ers. These give students a solid background in classical and current literature and composition writing in preparation for higher education. The English Department is the curricular sec- tion most strongly affected by the 1975 Educa- tion Act of Thorough and Efficient Education. In accordance with this new doctrine, the Depart- ment is in the process of revising its objectives and accomplishments for this year. New goals will then be formulated for future years, aimed at providing every student with an education of the highest quality. Mrs, Irene Todd Miss Marie A. Janoski Ms. Karen Joseph Miss Geralyn S.

The basic skills learned by discipline and constant drilling in levels I and II are reinforcc(J by literature and conversational studies in levels III and IV. A new concept in linguistic study, Vocational Spanish, offers a concentrated course of study dedicated exclusively to business and commer- cial interests. Bilingualism is becoming a neces- sary qualification in business and social work because of an increasing ethnic population. Stu- dents planning to enter these fields receive instruction in Spanish so that communication will not remain a barrier to social service. The language department familiarizes stu- dents with Spanish, German and French cul- tures through its annual Christmas Festival. Here, the cuisine and customs of these three cultures combine to form an international atmosphere. While students of the Foreign Languages develop an ability to express themselves ver- bally the students of the theatre explore the lan- guage of actions.

Emphasis has shifted from the basic laws of arithmetic to abstract the- ory. Students are familiarized more fully with the solving of complex and theoretical prob- lems. To assist students in understanding problems that extend beyond pencil and paper, Computer Math has been instituted. This relatively new course offers the student the means to solve problems in a logical manner using mathemati- cal language in programming. Students learn the importance of accuracy and statistics in Probabilities and Matrix Alge- bra. Advanced applications of mathematical knowledge are taught in the Calculus course, which enables students to gain possible college credit through placement testing. The demands of a highly mechanized society are reflected in the curriculum of the math department as students receive the background needed for technic al work.

Biology is taught at two levels and introduces the structural and functional aspects of the animal kingdom. Advanced Biology extends this into the studies of genetics and plant physiology. The Physics course is one in which problems of friction and wave motion are calculated in coordination with studies of motion, light and heat. Much of the curriculum of the science department is present during laboratory peri- ods. Lab work is used as an extension and affirmation of scientific knowledge learned from classroom activity. Students apply their information to scientific setups, and draw con- clusions. In this way, laboratory learning is a tool used to encourage individual reason based on scientific fact.

The history department is currently evaluating its position in relation to the Thorough and Effi- cient Education Act. To foster the quality of good citizenship in young adults, history is taught to enlighten the students in areas of civil affairs as well as past events. The history curriculum is centered on the his- tory of the United States, Advanced Placement US History II, taught for the first time this year, is the counterpart to Advanced Placement US His- tory I, a junior course. These year-long courses are concentrated and detailed studies of the politics and economics of the historical eras, emphasized by informative selected readings. Students may gain college credits from the classes by passing an exam in May. Top: Luke Kealy and Tom Kirk consider a comment made by Mr. Boardman.

This is accomplished through actual contact with the areas of pursuit. Demonstrative of this firsthand work experi- ence is the Beauty Operator Occupations Course. The class is held in a full scale hairdress- ing studio which is open to the community. Stu- dents receive instruction and practice in the arts of beauty occupation and receive a beauty operator's license upon the successful comple- tion of the course. Students who are interested in pursuing careers involving children can become familiar with them through the Child Care Occupations program. A nursery school, operated by the stu- dents, aids the community while directing stu- dents in their vocations. Marriage and Family is a new course that has been included in the curriculum this year. Its purpose is to expose students to everyday life and encourage them to formulate their own val- ues and goals. A mock wedding, held on November 3,1976, was one of the special activi- ties of the course. It was planned by the stu- dents and utilized the training they received in areas of itemizing and price comparison. Budget financing, consumer shopping, and cooperation in marriage are other planned points of study in Marriage and Family.

Practice in the basic sec- retarial, clerical and salesmanship skills and familiarization with business machines are the prime concerns of business education. Another dimension of the business curricu- lum is on-the-job training in the fields of corpo- rate and distributive education. Through this Cooperative Work Program, students gain valu- able training experience from employment in various local businesses.

All three classes partici- pate in coed gym and the sophomores and jun- iors have been introduced to coed Driver Edu- cation and First Aid for the first time. An important concern of the physical educa- tion department is Driver Education. Through Driver Education Theory, Simulators, and Behind-the-Wheel Driving, students are trained to become responsible drivers.

Mr. Wortley prepares all sports sched- ules, coordinating the dates of games between teams of SWMHS and visiting teams. This involves many hours of work in contacting other schools to arrive at agreeable game dates, as well as postponements and cancellations. Police and First Aid protection, game officials, and transportation chartering are also provided. Mr. Wortley enjoys his work — it pleases him to see students do their best in competition while observing safety standards for a minimum of injury. Mr. Recine is also concerned with the welfare of student athletes. The careful overseeing of the athlete's emotional and physical well-being is vital to his or her success in the upcoming season. Mr. Recine attends all athletic competi- tions in the event the player is injured. Also, the effective performance of athletes is dependent upon the care of the athlete after he is injured. Mr. Recine's rehabilitation, taping and strapping can encourage a more promising outlook of the season to the injured athlete. Due to Mr. Recine's abilities as a physiothera- pist, he has been selected to hold positions on numerous state and national committees on athletic safety, including the title of Trainer for the 1975 Pan-American athletic games. Also, Mr. Recine has been elected to the Athletic Trainer's Hall of Fame of 1976. Both Mr. Wortley and Mr. Recine maintain that their years of service as Athletic Director and Trainer have indeed been rewarding.

Specialized Training in the Industrial Arts In its highly specialized curriculum, the Industrial Arts program encompasses such fields of work as printing, auto mechanics and con- struction. In Graphic Arts and Photography, the proc- essing and methods of printing and developing are highlighted. In contrast, heavier industrial materials are handled in Woodshop, Plastics, and Metal Shop. These courses focus on the usage of these materials for structural purposes. An important facet of Industrial Arts is the technique of accurately representing structures in construction or mechanics. The drafting courses include levels in architectural and machine drawing to meet this need. Especially useful in these time of advancing technology are classes which deal with machin- ery. In Auto Shop, Machine Shop, and Electric Shop, students learn the workings of an internal combustion engine and the dynamics of force and energy. The basic training of young adults in the growing fields of met hanization is the goal of the Industrial Arts Department. Above: A perplexing (trailing assignment is studied by Rick Kieselowsky.

The Art Department concerns itself with the creative and practical aspects of art. Jewelry and Ceramics I and II, Sculpture and Creative Crafts encourage creative expression. Student creativ- ity is channeled into practical fields of endeavor through Stagecraft, Introduction to Design and Advanced Commercial Art. The Music Department offers both vocal and instrumental music as a means of expression. The dynamics of music are explored in Theory and Harmony classes. A comprehensive back- ground in classical music styles is offered in Music Through the Ages. Knowledge gained in these courses can be put to use in Band and Chorus classes. Both departments are involved in competi- tions and exhibitions. The Art Department sponsors an annual Art Fair which offers stu- dents the opportunity to display their crafts. This year the band participated in the Madison Township Band Fantasia and the Carteret Hal- loween Parade, in which they placed first and third respectively. The band also performs along with the Chorus in annual Christmas and Spring concerts. Mrs. Judith A. Sforza Mr. Allan R.

This year the guidance department has been especially active in evaluating students' aca- demic achievements through the experimental California Achievement Tests administered. The tests were given in the fall to help establish a national norm and were taken once again in spring to provide a basis for comparison. With the introduction of the T and E program, the guidance office will set aims and goals within the department and evaluate how well they are achieving them. The department members, through individual counseling, become acquainted with special talents, abilities, and needs of each student. Having determined these, the department, using means such as Career Education Day and college conferences, can provide the student with useful and relevant guidelines by which to plan a fulfilling future. Through the efforts of the school work staffs, the good health and informativeness of the school is maintained. The cafeteria and custo- dial employees maintain standards of nutrition and sanitation. Good health is promoted in the student body by Mrs. Ziemba, the school nurse. Mrs. Simko and her aide, Mrs. Petzold keep the library well-organized for assignment research and personal reading materials. Vital statistics of the school are compiled by the sec- retarial staff. The services offered by these staffs are greatly appreciated and acknowledged by everyone affiliated with the school. Mr. Daniel Newcomer Mrs. Evelyn S. Billard Mrs. Marie L. Lake Miss Elena M.

The program of activities at Sayreville is as diverse as are the students themselves. Students are provided with many opportuni- ties to associate with their peers and gain knowledge of themselves and others in an enjoyable, fulfilling and gratifying experience. Participation in school activities aids in the development of our leadership qualities and our desires to accept responsibility. These activities provide us with some of our most cherished memories of Sayreville War Memorial High School.

Its fund-raising activities seem never ending, as it also provides many services for both the school and community. Student Council's role is not, however, confined to money-making endeav- ors, but also includes promotion of school spirit through student involvement. The Student Council supplies numerous school services often taken advantage of by stu- dents. The Council is responsible for the arrangement of the trophy and display cases throughout the school, along with the mainte- nance of the outside sign seen daily upon our arrivals and departures. Student Council is the organization most helpful to sophomores and other newcomers to the school. It distributes two publications, the Student Handbook and the Activities Directory, to sophomores at the annual Orientation Pro- gram in September. This program is only one of Student Council's major projects for the year; the others being outdoor pep rallies, the annual Homecoming festivities, a rock concert featur- ing Earth Opera, Blue and Grey Week and the debut of the Gong Show. The latter was pat- terned after the popular TV show and proved to be the most successful program of entertain- ment in Sayreville High history. Other Student Council projects are initiated with an eye toward community service. These include a springtime Bike-A-Thon with pro- ceeds going toward Cancer research, and a much-awaited lollipop sale for the March of Dimes. A new fund-raising concept included this year was Send A Flower To A Friend for UNICEF Day, held during late October. The suc- cess of this campaign brought about a repeat of the event on Valentine's Day with all the pro- ceeds this time going to the Heart Fund in Mr. Maio's name. The Student Council is undoubtedly the most active organization at SWMHS. Its spirit promo- tion coupled with student and community serv- ice make it the most valuable body in the school.

The seniors started off the week with Hat Day, during which they don- ned any number of unique and unusual cha- peaux. The doctors, nurses, painters, and farm- ers seen on Tuesday were actually juniors cos- tumed for Occupations Day. The sophomores turned out in juvenile dress for Kiddie's Day. 50's day was the highlight of the week, with members of all three classes sporting ponytails, DA's, and 1950's outfits. An assembly was held in honor of the day featuring Dottie's People, a group specializing in such early rock tunes as The Great Pretender and Rock Around The Clock. They impersonated a wide variety of 50's groups. Their music ranged from their jitter- bugging songs to a melody of classic 1950 mel- low love songs. The week was capped with Blue and Gray day, during which members of all three classes wore the school colors. Blue and Gray week was successful in its aim of promoting school spirit.

The efforts of thirteen editors and approximately fif- teen other staff members made this year's book like none other in the history of Sayreville High School. The originality in Quo Vadis 77 sur- passes all previous books with the addition of a complete Underclassmen Section, the listing of senior activities and, in general, a larger book by almost 20 pages. The Underclassmen Section, which contains individual portraits of all sophomores and jun- iors, has been instrumental in making this a school yearbook rather than a Senior Annual. Because this idea had never been incorporated into Quo Vadis, it was met with great hesitance. However, with a great deal of encouragement received from the faculty and administration, the section was eagerly begun. A trio of photog- raphers was sentenced to the gym for 8 periods on December 14, taking over 900 pictures of the sophomores and juniors who were present that day. The Quo Vadis staff felt that a successful response could be attained if the Underclass- men Section was made similar to the Senior Sec- tion. As part of the year's campaign to increase underclass interest, Quo Vadis has become the only organization beside Student Council to participate in the Sophomore Orientation pro- gram. Its contribution to the assembly was a slide show produced by Pat Himey featuring pictures of the Class of 1979 as freshmen in the Junior High. The success of Quo Vadis '77 may also be attributed to the fact that a number of the edi- tors attended seminars at both Somerville Inn and Taylor Publishing Company. Under the supervision of first year advisor Ms. Karen Joseph, the staff demonstrated a great deal of organization and maintained the standards set in previous years.

The staff members, divided into news, feature and sports reporters, must gather information and develop informa- tive articles. Thus, the news of current events is captured and related, contributing to the stu- dent body's awareness of contemporary hap- penings. In preparing articles, the newspaper writer must seek to inform, enlighten, persuade and entertain the reader by examining aspects of school, community and national life. The sub- ject matter of Echo Lites articles has a relevance to school life in both sports and special activi- ties stories. A timely relation to community and national affairs is encompassed by editorials and coverage of the 1976 Presidential platforms and the Thorough and Efficient Education Act. The coordination of article submission, proof- reading, typing and publishing is an obstacle overcome by this year's Echo Lites. This year's staff consists of four single page editors, an assistant editor who proofreads the articles, and a typing editor to facilitate the publishing pro- cedure. To raise money for publishing expenses, the newspaper has continued its sale of the New York Times to the students and faculty. This service requires additional manpower to deliver papers daily and collect money for monthly orders. Co-ordination of all editorial diversions is essential to meet deadlines for each issue and to insure quality information is communicated to the student body.

Since its beginnings two years ago, Images has evolved from a graphic pamphlet to a pro- fessionally printed montage of poetry, photog- raphy, short stories and artwork. All pieces are original creations submitted by Sayreville stu- dents. The poetry, short story and art staffs are responsible for the evaluation of all works. The grading system used to rate the materials is based on creativity, content, style, originality and structure. Point values are assigned to each aspect of the judging procedure, and this sys- tem is then used to determine the winners in Images' annual contest. The small membership of Images is a disad- vantage where fund-raising is concerned. To meet the expenses of publications, the literary magazine holds a series of bake sales. The annual candy sale held in February also supple- ments the magazine's financial needs for the year's publication. The editors and staff of Images have the responsibility of participating in all aspects of the literary magazine's production. The activi- ties of fund-raising, evaluation, compiling, arranging and distributing are undertaken for the continued growth of the spirit of creativity in the student populace.

Dramatis Personae has undergone a number of changes this year. Beginning with a new name and expanded interests, Dramatis Perso- nae has become a more innovative organiza- tion. The club is for people interested in the thea- tre arts. The club provides students with a realis- tic picture of those qualities necessary to achieve on the stage. This year the drama club helped the commu- nity by going Christmas caroling to Perth Amboy General Hospital and the Oak View Nursing Home. Another new duty the club has taken on is the selling of tickets to the Fall and Spring Theatre Productions. This operation was originally under the auspices of Student Coun- cil. The only fund-raising activity the club has is that of selling refreshments at the Fall and Spring Plays. Mr. Cunliffe is very pleased with the increase in members. He is also overjoyed with the new activities the club has been getting involved in. Frond Susan Fuoti, Ceil Fuoti, Phyllis D'Addio, Karen McGuffey, George Stoddard.

Top: Joe Grabas explains to both Steve Miller and Donna Butchko his argument against the suspected murderer. Above: Frank Kreismer uses a floor plan of the murder site to further explain his reasoning of the defendant's innocence. Reginald Rose's stage play “Twelve Angry Men underwent a timely character change to become this year's Fall Drama, “Twelve Angry Jurors. The play remains a powerful drama with scenes of intense psychological conflicts between strong characters. The plot revolves around a jury's verdict in the murder trial of a young man. This situation sets the scene for dramatic interplay between the main characters: troubled and prejudiced juror 3 (Joe Grabas), bigoted juror 10 (Mike Padovano), intellectual juror 4 (Steve Miller), and juror 8 (Frank Kreismer), the sole initial defender of the accused murderer. The success of “Twelve Angry Jurors depended upon the efforts of many people — the members of cast and crew, “paint and pow der, and director, Mr. Cunliffe. The result of their efforts was viewed by a professor of thea- tre who offered constructive criticism regarding the play. With a timely regard for equal rights, a con- certed effort from cast and crew, and advice from a knowledgeable viewer, “Twelve Angry Jurors'' emerged as a successful dramatic pro- duction.

After many hours of hard work and prepara- tion by all those involved, the junior and Senior Classes presented their Spring Production, The Music Man on the evenings of April 21, 22 and 23. Directed by Charles Cunliffe and assistant director Amy Cholewa, a cast of 54 players par- ticipated in the production. Senior Tom Kirk returned to Sayreville's musi- cal stage in the lead role of Harold Hill. Tom's interpretation of the lovable con man was as entertaining as his contribution in last year's show, Oklahoma. Supporting roles were mas- tered by Nora Coan as Marian, the prim Librar- ian, joe Grabas and Dawn Papa as Mayor and Mrs. Shinn, Joan Dahl as Mrs. Peroo and Steve Paul as Winthrop Peroo, the seemingly obnoxi- ous little boy. The plot of this entertaining musical centers around Professor Harold Hill and his diverse attempts to sell the town of River City on the idea of a Boy's Band, complete with uniforms and taught by the Think System. The romance which evolves between Hill and Marian com- pletes the play. Due to a conflict in the yearbook deadline and the scheduling of the play, the photos sup- plied consist only of rehearsal shots. Quo Vadis regrets that we were not able to give more com- plete coverage to The Music Man. 58 Senior Mike Padovano completes a song and dance routine with Juniors Dawn Papa and Sue Fuoti.

Those attending per- formances of the Fall Drama and the Spring Musi- cal are usually impressed with the presentations, rarely giving thought to the behind-the-scenes work that is absolutely necessary to the play's suc- cess. Every stage production relies upon the talent and hard work of the Stage Crew. Chosen from approximately 70 applicants, this year's crew of 25 people is under the direction of stage manager, Phil Sollecito and his assistant manager Bob Wra- novics. Phil and his crew are responsible for all props, special effects and lighting. Only when properly coordinated with the movements on stage, will the Stage Crew be able to create a realis- tic situation. The Stage Crew is also responsible for all lighting and special effects at school assemblies. Above: Front: Regina Brock, Karen Frezzi, Robert Wranovics, Phyllis D'Addio, MaryLynn Sollecito.

While Paint and Powder may be one of the least well-known organizations at SWMHS, it is one of the most interesting. This club allows students to participate in behind-the-scenes preparations for the Fall and Spring Plays while gaining experience in the art of applying theatri- cal makeup. Membership in Paint and Powder requires hard work and dedication. Interested students learn their art in stages. During a six-week train- ing period, advisor Mrs. Todd and the ''Old Brushes teach the new members varied techni- ques of makeup application. The creation of special effects and the ability to make split-sec- ond makeup changes are learned during the training period. Upon the completion of the six week training period, tryouts are held. Those students who have mastered the art are then selected to do the makeup for the Spring Musical. The Old Brushes and the exceptional New Brushes do the makeup for the leads in the musical. After working in the Spring Musical, one is consid- ered an Old Brush and therefore permitted to work on the Fall Drama. Mrs. Todd, who has been advisor for ten years, feels this year a gain of experience has improved the club as a whole, enabling the members of Paint and Powder to better create an effect for both the audience and the actor. While walking by the auditorium, or outside through the courtyard, one often hears the sounds of female voices harmonizing with the aid of a single piano. This is the Chorus, com- posed of approximately 50 girls, under the direc- tion of Mr. Mount. The girls, who are divided into three groups, altos, second sopranos and first sopranos, sing a variety of music ranging from that of George Gershwin to that of Cat Stevens. Although most of the girls have Vocal Music as a class every day, some participate only after school to prepare for the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts. This year, through the generos- ity of the Sayreville Education Association, the Chorus was able to have their performance broadcast over WCTC. The girls all share a common interest, that being the appreciation of fine music. This devo- tion has led to the production of many success- ful choral groups in Sayreville High history.

Two nights a week the sounds of popular music flow through the halls of Sayreville High School. The Sayreville Stage Band, also known as the jazz Rock Ensemble, meets every week in preparation for various performances and con- tests. The band consists of trumpets, trombones, saxophones and a rhythm section, in all over 20 musicians. Though playing mostly modern music like the Sound of Simon and Garfunkel and TSOP, the theme from TV's Soul Train, the band also plays a number of selections from the Big Band Era. Along with playing at the National Honor Society Induction and other school activities, the Stage Band hopes to compete in the Garden State Arts Center talent exposition in the Spring. The band is directed by Mr. Brindza and is also instructed by student directors. This participa- tion gives the musicians an opportunity to bet- ter their talents and prepares them for future endeavors in the world of instruments. Exploration of Customs Benefits All The annual International Holiday Festival was held on December 16 under the sponsorship of the French, German and Spanish Clubs. The combined efforts of the three Language Clubs gave this year's Festival an international flavor. Authentic European cuisine is an important part of the Festival. French pastry, a Spanish punch and a German noodle dish, spatzel, were featured on the menu at this year's celebration. Examples of European culture were also found at the Festival. The French Club pre- sented a can can dance and the German Club provided spirited German music performed by a student band. The Spanish Club constructed a pinata, traditionally seen at the holiday celebra- tions, as their contribution to the festival enter- tainment. The International Festival provided an excel- lent learning experience for the language stu- dents and all their guests. It expanded a basic language education by promoting awareness of foreign cultures. As a special added attraction, in February, the Spanish Club sponsored a well-known band from Spain, La Tuna. This activity involved all of the Language Clubs and proved to be an enlightening and enjoyable time for everyone. Front: Lorie Brodzinski, Arlene Drwal, Pat Banks, Cindy Buyofski.

This facility is taken for granted each day and its importance is minimized until the announcement proclaiming “The library will have Research Classes today. Those students who make use of the library are very rarely aware of the existence or impor- tance of the Library Council. Through direct participation in daily procedure, the council allows a small but interested group of students to learn about library operation. During study halls, council members arrange periodicals, stack and process books, run errands and proc- ess overdue books. For the Library Council, the year culminates in a flurry of activity. First is the taking of inventory, a time-consuming proce- dure which demands much attention and effort from all council members. While the Pep Club is not one of the largest school organizations, its few devoted members promote school spirit and encourage participa- tion in athletic functions. This is accomplished by the many signs and posters displayed around the school prior to these activities. The club inspires not only the fans, but also the players themselves by placing pennants on their lockers which indicate the sport and athlete's name. The Pep Club is aware of the lack of support at away games and therefore has sponsored a number of buses to increase the fan attendance. Through these actions, the Pep Club has proven itself to be one of the more enthusiastic groups at Sayreville High. front: Jackie Szarejko, Ellen Zielinski, Terry Denby, Jill Kwiatkowski, Heidi Front: Robin Pfeiffer, Debbie Trickle.

Within the span of a week in June, they went to East Stroudsburg College in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania and learned new cheers, pom- pom routines and on-field formations. Their newly-learned techniques were put into use during the seasons at games, pep rallies and other sporting events. Both the Varsity and JV squads enter the St. Pius Golden Cup Cheering Competition annu- ally. This year, the Varsity Squad brought home a 2nd place trophy which was proudly displayed in the showcase. Although the Jayvees did not succeed in plac- ing at the competition, one of the cheerleaders, Junior Mary Lou Fleming won the JV Miss Yell Competition. Mrs. Fehrle, advisor, was not excluded as she was awarded a Coach of the Year trophy. The cheerleaders undoubtedly play a very important role in the promotion of school ath- letics. Present at all pep rallies, football and bas- ketball games and occasionally at other sporting competitions, they are responsible for maintain- ing the high spirits of the crowd in victory or defeat. The spirit boosting signs, along with the lively chants and cheers are fundamental in motivat- ing the Bomber teams on to victory.

Another organization which involves itself in both school and community functions is the Marching Band. Participating in such events as parades and special commemorations, the band has participated in numerous competitions both alone and with the Band Front. Among these were the Cedar Ridge High School Band Fantasia (3rd Place), the Carteret Halloween Parade (3rd Place) and the Madison Central High School competition (4th Place). Several new concepts were introduced this year such as the use of two drum majors, break- ing away from the traditional single leader and the inclusion variety in field formations. Without the supportive efforts of the Band Parents Association, the marching unit would not have had the opportunity to participate in their many exhibitions. More directly, the band serves its fellow stu- dents by performing at both the Commence- ment Exercises in June and weekly football games. Throughout the football season the band is a familiar sight marching in and around the stadium. Their halftime program provides a moment of rest for the game's spectators. Under second year advisor Mr. Bruce Brindza, and capable drum majors Kevin Lawson and Verne James, the band has enjoyed steady improvement.

This sound announces the begin- ning and the end of another time consuming Band and Band Front practice. The improved training methods, the gruelling week at band camp and the many hours of band practice had finally paid off. On October 7, 1976 the Sayre- ville Band Front brought home the first place trophy from the First Annual Salute to America, their first competition. The Band Front then coupled with the Band to participate in the Home News Festival, the Fantasia Band Compe- tition and the Carteret Halloween Parade, in which the entire company took third place. If it were not for the unique members who enjoy performing for the student body and the com- munity, these awards would have never been obtained. These students sold candy to help finance their week-long trip to Endless Moun- tains Marching Band Camp to improve their style. The Band Front this year was a very young squad with only one third of its members gradu- ating this year. Next year the squad hopes to advance from their present Class B classification, which indi- cates their present size of 100-200 members, to the Class A classification, a squad size of 300 and more.

Clubs Stimulate Individuality Strategic planning and true competition are terms often applied to the members of the Chess Club. They meet once a week to both learn and improve their skills in the game of chess. The main activity of the club is the tour- nament in which all the members compete. Divided into 3 groups ranging from novice to advanced, the players compete throughout the year to qualify for the playoffs in May. The three 1st place winners and the three players with the next best records are all able to compete. All six of the opponents win trophies which are bought with the money earned from the candy sale held in early November.

The new Multi Media Club has brought the audio visual scene back to Sayreville High School. Under the guidance of Miss C. Kwiat- kowski, and new officers, the club has worked with 35mm cameras, slide projectors, movie projectors and video tape equipment. One of the purposes of the club is to acquaint its members with the audio visual equipment available in the school. A future aim of the club is the organization of all audio visual activities in the classrooms. This valuable service is anx- iously awaited by faculty and students. This year's projects include the sophomore orientation assembly in September and the end of year slide show in june.

Character, service, leadership, and scholar- ship are the requisite qualities for membership in the National Honor Society. The elite group of juniors and seniors elected into the society are initiated and receive the NHS pin in the annual induction ceremony held in the spring. This year's induction was held on March 16. The ceremony began with the traditional light- ing of candles which symbolize leadership, scholarship, character and service. The speeches made after the candle-lighting procession all dealt with the qualities which were now charac- teristic of the newly elected members. The actual induction of new members fol- lowed with junior and senior electees receiving NHS pins and reciting the NHS creed. Entertain- ment followed provided by the )azz Rock Ensemble and the combined talents of Barbara Keegan and Mary Minnella. Members of the NHS are selected according to scholastic ability, teacher recommendations and participation in extra curricular activities. Junior members are required to be in the top 10% of their class, senior members in the top 15%. NHS members sell candy to finance the schol- arship award which the club annually sponsors. Ushering graduation as juniors, they also earn the privilege of wearing an NHS sash at their own graduation. N.H.S. Advisor Miss Sowa prepares the table for the memo- rable candle lighting ceremony.

Many months of preparation by the offi- cers and advisors had ended and the day before the prom was upon us at last. A group of twenty students had volunteered its services for several hours Friday evening to complete last minute decorations and details. The cafeteria had changed from a site of bedlam and confusion to a room in which memories would be made. The end of the school year had finally arrived, and along with it had come this special day for the juniors and their guests. Couples arrived in prom attire, starry-eyed, waiting to see what change there would be among friends in this new atmosphere. Surrounded by decorations of green and yel- low, couples danced to the music of Prism, and with mixed emotions waited for Harmony, the theme song to be played. The end of the evening left a lasting memory in the minds of the juniors as they thought mistily of days gone by and anxiously toward days to come. A simple yet lasting memory of Harmony — the prom pro- gram. Top: As the end of the evening draws near, Cathy Hickson, Lou Gemo, Michele Cas- trorao and joe Bechtle await the playing of the final song, the signal that the magic of the evening has ended.

The school's Distributive Education Program is the only one which incorporates an after- school activity into a course of study. All D.E. students belong to DECA, the Distributive Edu- cation Club of America, and can earn up to 15 credits by participating in the after-school employment program established by the Busi- ness Department. In June, an annual employer-employee dinner is given by DECA students to celebrate the year's achievements and to show appreciation for the valuable learning experiences they have received. Thanks to an increase in student involvement, the Future Teachers of America Club has been able to expand its tutoring program. FTA mem- bers have been tutoring in the Sayreville ele- mentary schools since 1973, and they have expanded this program to include the Junior High School. This newly established service offers interested members the opportunity to explore teaching at a secondary level. As the club's new advisor, Mrs. Coppinger is Very pleased with the club's organization and is impressed by the serious attitude of the membership. Along with its community oriented activities, the FTA also sponsored a candle sale in Novem- ber. In June all active club members were awarded pins and a scholarship was presented to the club's most valuable member. The Future Secretaries of America learn more about their selected trade through involvement with the National Secretaries' Association. The NSA sponsors seminars and visits to business offices which are open to all FSA members, as well as a yearly function at which attendance is an FSA club requirement. The improvement of business skills is the goal of the FBLA, and the club works yearlong to achieve this end. Their success is gauged at a year-end State Regional Business Contest, in which participants demonstrate 12 business skills in competition. The SWMHS FBLA is con- sistently successful in these contests. The Future Business Leaders of America also provide community service with a planned visit to a local home for the disabled.

Competition at an early age provides the athlete with the chance to confront new people and situations and it is from these encounters that the individ- ual learns, grows, and gains self respect. The high school athlete requires a great deal of dedication to succeed on his or her team. Much hard work and in some cases, frequent defeats, must be endured before the team can enjoy the victories it has worked for. From the locker room to the fields or gymna- sium, the competitive spirit is shared among the athletes on each team. Cooperation on the play- ing field is just as important to the success of each squad as the skills of the individual player. Participating in any of the numerous sports SWMHS has to offer is definitely a rewarding experience for the young athlete as both a part of a team and as an individual.

Incon- sistency and injuries were factors that plagued the team throughout the year. The team drop- ped many close games that were decided by one goal or ended in a tie, including a 2-1 loss to highly rated Edison. The fifteen man squad consisted of thirteen seniors and only two underclassmen. Leading the team were Mike Gaspartich and Bob Shoro- sky who alternated in the center halfback posi- tion and on the line. Tim Brand also contributed an outstanding job in his first year out as center fullback. The team relied heavily on support from Rich Kurczeski in the halfback position, Ed Schaefer and Bob Bouthillette as wings and fullbacks Gordon Bell, Mark Tyler and Jim Wojcik the other co-captain. Handicapping the team throughout the sea- son were injuries sustained by Gaspartich, Krieger, Shorosky and Brand. Leading scorer Glen Kreiger along with fellow underclassmen Keith Gilde will be the only veterans on next year's squad. Highlighting the season was a 1-1 tie with a strong Perth Amboy team, a 4-1 win against J.P. Stevens and a 7-0 romp over St. Mary's South Amboy.

A rel- atively young team, which next year's varsity squad will rely heavily upon, the JV's were led offensively by junior Lou Acero and sopho- mores Greg Burns, Jeff Decker, Steve Paul and Neil Trainer. Each of these underclassmen turned out fine seasons and their experience will be a definite asset to the upcoming season. A solid, although young defense consisted of junior John Genus in the goal and fullbacks Scott Pazur, Phil Sowinski and Dan Strika. With only two varsity players returning Coach Doll will be looking to the JV squad for possible replacements. SCOREBOARD SWMHS 0 Edison 2 SWMHS 0 J. P. Stevens 4 SWMHS 1 S.

The fact that freshmen were allowed to play on the squad may have aided greatly in its victorious season. This new ruling was not only an asset to this year's JV squad but will also ben- efit varsity squads in the future. During this first season, five freshmen turned out for the team. Donna Gaspeck, one of the five freshmen, was tied for high scorer with junior co-captain Chris Smithers with five goals apiece. Nancy Larsen and Candy Zollinger, both sophomores, scored 4 and 2 respectively. Junior Barb Hen- nessy chipped in three during the season. The team's strong offense was rounded off by a tough defense led by goalie co-captain Barb Galaro. SCOREBOARD SWMHS 2 Matawan 0 SWMHS 0 Cranford 0 SWMHS 2 Madison Twp. 1 SWMHS 1 S.

The hockey team was led by the scoring efforts of senior forwards Eileen Downs and lanet Lockwood with 11 and 7 goals respectively. Adding to the Bomberettes scoring drive were 5 goals by Eileen Vurish and 2 goals by Gina Ekstrom, along with 5 assists from team leader Gayle Grankowski. The stalwart defense was led by goalie Deb Szymanski who let up only 18 goals and recorded 100 saves for the season. Positioned in front of the cage were senior fullbacks Pat Himey and Janet Murray. Rookies on the squad were the 3 starting half-backs, Marybeth Tyler, Kathy Connors and Deb Huneke. Along with the other recruits from the )V squad this trio aided greatly in the rebuilding of the team. The combined efforts of the aggressive offense and the solid defense made for a suc- cessful season ending with an 8-7-1 record.

Coach Car- cich was well aware that his squad would be the youngest to run for Sayreville in several years, yet was quite impressed with the team's early season performances. The success of the team depended mainly upon the recruits from the undefeated junior High team and the three returning letter winners from last year. Since the bulk of the team consisted of underclassmen, the year was a rebuilding one for the ten inexhaustible harriers. However, next year's squad will carry the experience necessary for a winning season. Outstanding runners included senior Jim Paros, junior Steve Wovna and sophomores Eric Veit, Glenn Cowan and Mary Jane Briody. Veit has proven to be quite successful in a number of dual meets while Mary Jane, the seventh runner on the team, put out a strong performance in her first year at Sayreville.

Not being able to play her freshman year did not hinder junior Sue Eisen- berger's performance as indicated by her fine 13-7 record. Through extensive training, strong desire and her own individual talent, Sue earned one of the top positions on the team. Senior Captain Lynda Topolancik also com- pleted her three year tennis career with a fine season. The girls ended their season with an 8-14 record finishing 7-13 in the conference.

Coach Hefelfinger stated that this year's season went well, improving from a 1-10 record last year to its current record of 7-8. The team itself ranked 11th in the State, All around gymnast and team captain, senior Steve DeLeo, led the team admirably and for his own personal achievement broke three school records. Steve set the record in floor exercise by scoring an 8.2. He scored the most points as a senior with 324 and the most career points as a Sayreville gymnast with 828 points. Steve was also the only Sayreville representative in the State Championships. Other seniors who supported the squad were Bill Foggan on the side horse, Mike Trischitta on parallel bars, Joe Muroski on the side horse and Mike Piperato on the rings. Coach Hefelfinger anticipates several good prospects from the Junior High team for the 1978 season. Returning members from the 1977 squad will be juniors Mark Humphrey and Der- ryl Jarvis, and sophomores Glenn Farfel and Randy Ciprich.

Senior Lois Gilbert set numerous school records during her high school career including an 8.25 on beam, 8.05 on bars and an 8.9 on the horse. The floor exercise record of 8.2 was set by senior Linda Hurley. Along with these two sen- iors the team had strong performances from Heleen Lenahan, Lee Farfel and Gina Nester- witz. The team, dominated by seniors, also received support from the routines of junior Sue Osnato, sophomores Debbie Richel and Gina Guerrieri.

With the 76 Varsity squad consisting of mainly seniors many of these JV players will be expected to fill the positions left by the seniors. The JV squad had very few opportunities to practice together as a team since many of the players also suit up and prac- tice with the Varsity team. Leading the JV offense were quarterback Ken Spiecker with five touchdown passes and half- back John Pitti who recorded four touchdowns for the season. The stalwarts of the defensive team were Dennis McGuire, John Dreyfuss, Steve Pelszynski and Ed Weber. The JV's also received fine performances from Paul Gerula, Rich McNerny and Rich Gulick. A highlight of the season was the 16-0 shutout against a tough Perth Amboy team. Offensively the team's two strongest games were against Madison Township and South River in which they scored 28 and 37 points respectively.

Losing Season Caused by Inexperience Suffering from a lack of size, the Sophomore Football team finished its 1976 season with a 1-7 record. Coach Bandola felt that while the team had many talented players, they lacked the experience necessary to put together a winning season. Offensively, the team was led by Vinny Servedio and john Salvatore who Coach Ban- dola describes as aggressive, tough players. John Deryn and Gary Krolik are good defensive lines- men and will be valuable assets to next year's varsity team. Although the season was disappointing, the small squad managed to upset a tough and high ranking Colonia team.

In a year that might have been, the Sayreville Varsity Football team finished with a 2-7 record. The team's two victories came in a 19-0 opening game trouncing over Perth Amboy and a spir- ited 12-0 shutout of archrival South River at the South River Homecoming game. The gridmen were led this year by the superb pass-catching pair of offensive co-captain Paul Mickiewicz and Ed Sutton. The team's defense was led by its co-captain Dan Callahan with help from Ken Drwal. Senior John Ferraro led the team in the number of tackles. The trio of Sutton, Drwal, and Callahan was named to the All-Sentinel squad. The Bomber team which was mainly domi- nated by seniors, also received fine perform- ances from underclassmen Dave Kirk, Todd Regelski, John Dreyfuss and Ken Spiecker. Even though the team graduated many of its starters, the Bombers were capable of playing a very strong defensive game. This was evident by their ability to completely shut off state power- house Carteret's offensive attack for the entire first half. Despite a solid first half, the Bombers' offense was unable to compete with this strong Rambler team, falling to a 24-2 defeat. Inconsistency and ill-timed breakdowns, however, proved to lead to the Bombers' disap- pointing season. The team's downfall came as they lost several possible wins during the sec- ond half of the game. MCAC Second Team: Dan Callahan, Ed Sutton.

Left: Upon announcement of the decision 1976 Homecoming Queen Diane Doyle is enthusiastically encircled by her court. Homecoming was without a doubt the most anticipated event of the football season. The combined efforts of the three classes together with the work of Student Council, the band unit, and the football team made for a success- ful exercise in student activity. The program began as reigning queen Midge Glinsky made her final appearance before the crowd. Half-time brought the parade of floats along with the introduction of Homecoming Queen Candidates and their escorts. The soph- omores began the procession with “Somewhere Over the Rainbow featuring characters from the Wizard of Oz. The winning float, Hansel and Gretel, was a creation of the Class of 78 and its advisors. The seniors, in keeping with the theme of Fantasyland, displayed their contrib- ution to the day with their Little Red Riding Hood float. The Student Council sponsored the float entitled Babes in Toyland which carried the five Homecoming nominees, Eileen Coyle, Diane Doyle, Rose Fischer, Donna Sowley and LuAnn Unkel. Half-time activities were climaxed by the announcement of the new queen. The 5 candi- dates, after being escorted across the football field, anxiously awaited the decision made by the senior class. After what seemed to be an eternity, the announcement was made pro- claiming Diane Doyle the 1976 Homecoming Queen. Through smiles and tears of joy Diane began her reign with the traditional ride around the stadium. The only disappointment of the day seemed to be the football team's defeat by a tough ). F. Kennedy team. Despite a losing effort on a cold, blustery day, the members of the Class of 77 were left with fond memories of their final Sayreville Homecoming while the underclass- men looked forward to their increased partici- pation in Homecoming. This year's Homecoming brought out the best efforts of all three classes. Continuing the Sayreville tradition, each class developed an aspect of the theme Fantasyland. Beginning their endeavors in September, the class officers and advisors sought the support of class members and began many long and arduous hours of work. Shown above riding on the Class of 78's winning entry, Hansel and Gretel, Jeff Baker and Peggy Buchman respond to an applauding crowd. As their last entry in the float competition, the Senior Class presented Little Red Riding Hood. Playing the parts of the fairytale characters are Donna Gerard, Kathy Zdan and jim Wojcik. The Sophomore Class float Somewhere Over the Rain- bow, represented the first effort of this unified class. After months of hard work, the Class of '79 made its debut appearance at a Sayreville War Memorial High School Homecoming. 103 Bob Devlin Brings Honors to Sayreville SCOREBOARD Brunswick Invitational 4th SWMHS 55 S.

This was quite an improvement over the previous year's 2-7 record. The increase in inter- est in the track program is indicated by the number of involved athletes in the activity. This year's team grew to a record 50 members. Although the team was very large, it relied on a few good runners. Senior Bob Devlin, team co-captain and high scorer, was extremely valu- able in running the sixty yard dash and the hur- dles. Bob was undefeated throughout the dual meet season in both the sixty yard high hurdles with a time of 7.3 seconds and in the sixty yard dash with a time of 6.4 seconds. During the Conference Individual and County Individual Meets, Devlin captured many individual awards including first place in the hurdles and first place in the sixty yard dash, and second place in the State Individuals for High Hurdles. Bob Dev- lin, a valuable asset to Sayreville's Track Team, will surely be missed next year. Other runners who contributed to the success of the team were Senior co-captains Gary Czer- niakowski, Tom Kirk and Jim Paros. Underclass- men who ran well were Eric Veit, who was undefeated in the mile, Jay DeWorth, Charley Klauder and John Pitti who will be good pro- spects for next year's team. In the weight event, co-captain John Brego, Dan Callahan and Lowell Aube did a fine job in the shot put to anchor the team. BOB DEVLIN: County Meet — 1st place 60 yd. dash and 60 yd.

Above: Putting his injury out of his mind, senior Ken Drwal concentrates on the game and the job before him. This year's Boys' Varsity Basketball team was respectable and the team gave a fine showing in every game despite a disappointing 8-17 record. The squad, which was mainly dominated by seniors, had a rough start. Returning letter win- ner Ken Drwal missed almost 4 5 of the season due to a knee injury he received during the last football game of the season. High scorer Tom Stroin missed four key games due to an ankle injury. Several other members of the team missed games because of injuries and illnesses they sustained during the season. A tough schedule against top ranked teams also hind- ered the Bombers' performance. The team was led by the scoring efforts of Tom Stroin and a fine rebounding job by co- captain Tom Holt, jim Wojcik, senior co-captain and 3 year varsity veteran also did a fine job in both scoring and rebounding. The team's offense was stabilized by senior Jim Gutkowski. The two underclassmen on the squad, Glenn Krieger and Ron Borup helped out the team a lot this year and will be a definite asset to next year's squad. During the Christmas holidays the Bombers played in the Lions Club Holiday Festival and placed second after a tough game against South River. The biggest highlight of the season was the team's upset over a tough Carteret team. Top Left: High scorer Tom Stroin adds to the scoring drive with another two for Sayreville.

The team, under the leadership of first year coach Linda Smith, finished the season with a 10-9 record. After coaching many of the girls as freshmen, Coach Smith has seen her team improve as the girls themselves matured as players. The team had its ups and downs during the season. Some games they played extremely well while in others they just could not seem to get things together. The girls beat a tough Wood- bridge team after losing to them earlier in the season. They then took a strong Perth Amboy team into double overtime and proceeded to win the game. Along with being available to the varsity as extra players on the bench, they also lent a great deal of moral support to the team. These girls have the skill and the spirit necessary to keep Sayreville a well known name in Girls' Basket- ball. SCOREBOARD SWMHS 32 Edison 36 SWMHS 55 Carteret 34 SWMHS 30 E.

Dur- ing this season they gained the experience nec- essary to fill the positions left by graduating sen- iors. This year's squad was led by junior Don Kla- proth and sophomores Ralph Jurkiewicz and Jeff Kabat. These players made up the trio which played both ways for Sayreville. The team's performance was hindered by slow progress early in the season and injuries and illnesses sustained by the players. Ham- pered by these conditions, the team suffered a number of close defeats, like the tough over- time loss to Perth Amboy. Despite these handi- caps the JV team executed a sound defeat over East Brunswick. The team itself did not receive any awards, but they had the honor of giving Coach Pio- trowski his 100th win. This is a goal that is not achieved by many coaches during their careers. SCOREBOARD SWMHS 61 Edison 54 SWMHS 47 Carteret 74 SWMHS 46 E.

Above Left: Coach )udy Sunski. Above: Gayle Grankowski's abil- ity to anticipate an open shot resulted in her achieving one of the highest shooting percentages on the team. Success seemed to be a wav of life for the Girls' Varsity Basketball team this year. The chain of successful events started off on Tues- day, December 21, when the team provided Coach Sunski with her 100th career win by beat- ing Madison Township on their own home court. Coach Sunski is the 3rd Coach in Sayre- ville's history to reach this milestone. Over the Christmas vacation the Girls' team went on to take 1st place in the 3rd Annual County Lion's Tourney, their first awarding title in the school's history. Another victory was added when the Sayreville girls defeated Wood- bridge for the first time ever. Success had an even sweeter taste when the girls defeated their arch rival East Brunswick for the second time during the season. On the opponent's court, the Bombers killed East Brunswick's hopes for the Conference basketball title. The pressure of suc- cess rose when the girls played a powerful Woodbridge team for the second time that sea- son. This game was to determine if Sayreville had a bid for the Conference title. If they lost they could only tie for first, if they won, they could win it all. In a nerve-racking game of dou- ble-overtime, Sayreville pulled out the win with Rhonda Rompola sinking a buzzer shot to put Sayreville ahead 46-44. The next week Sayreville went on to defeat Cedar Ridge at home for the MCAC Girls' Basketball Title. On Friday, February 18, in the second round of the County Tournament, with 7:33 left in the fourth quarter, Junior Rhonda Rompola sank her 1,000th point basket. The game was stopped and Rhonda was presented a trophy and a basketball commemorating her milestone achievement. That Sunday, Rhonda was named Middlesex County Player of the week. Rhonda was not the only outstanding player on the team, however. Junior starters Gayle Grankowski and Barb Hennessy also were an important asset to the team both offensively and defensively. The only Senior starter, Lee Szatkowski, was more than willing to provide her 3 years Varsity experience to aid the team whenever it was needed. The 5th spot on the floor was shared by junior Karen Anderson and Sophomore Barb Hansel, both of whom proved to be significant defensively. It was through these six players, the electric spirit from the bench and the guidance of Coach Sunski that the Girls' Varsity Basketball Team was so successful. Despite the Team's ina bility to capture neither the county nor state titles, the season was by no means disappoint- ing. This team of players and coaches chalked up the most successful Girls' Basketball record in Sayreville's history, and also the most success- ful record in Sayreville's Winter Sports of 1977.

Above: Although the team did not do well this year, many of the wres- tlers turned in fine individual records. The Boys' Varsity Wrestling team suffered a very disappointing season this year, ending with a poor 0-13 record. Many of the weight classes were left empty as most of last year's starters graduated. Most of these positions were filled by underclassmen such as Paul Letts, Steve Paul and Gary Vincent. There were few returning letter winners, leaving the spots open to jV prospects and newcomers to the sport. The heavyweight class was filled by senior Bill Brugnoli who ended his career at Sayreville with a winning record. The team itself was led by the strong performances of Gordon and Don Bell. For Gordon, a senior, 1976 was his first year out for the team. His brother Don did well on the Varsity squad after placing first in last year's JV tournament. The Bell brothers were the only Sayreville wrestlers to advance to the 2nd round of the District Championships and they both proceeded to bring home third place medals. A possible reason for the disappointing sea- son was the team's lack of experience. In wres- tling, as in any other sport, a certain amount of time is required to develop the basic skills and then more time is needed to practice and exec- ute these skills. After learning these fundamen- tals a wrestler must also learn more difficult maneuvers in order to compete on a varsity level. An anticipated expansion of the system's wrestling program will be of invaluable aid in the development of a strong wrestling team at Sayreville.

The lack of experience and preparation for Sayreville wres- tlers presents a constant challenge to the coaches and athletes. Although their record was not impressive, the JV squad served its purpose in preparing ath- letes for varsity competition. Coach Buydos cited upperweights Joe Antone, Ted Broudy, frank Gasparro and Kirk Croasmun as valuable prospects for the Varsity next year. While the upperweights had an average sea- son, the lightweights were less fortunate. The lack of experience in the lower weight classes proved to be the downfall of the entire squad. The only lightweight with a winning record was Joe Donnelly, a junior. He is expected to do well next year on the varsity level. Because of the inconsistency on the Varsity squad, many of the JV's were temporarily moved up to the Varsity team. This was a major setback for the younger squad as it had lost many of its key wrestlers to the Varsity. SCOREBOARD SWMHS 12 Madison Twp. 57 SWMHS 21 S.

The team wasded offen- sively by Ken Spiecker on the mound and Rich McCutcheon at first base. One of the highlights of the season was a 16-2 romp over Raritan. With few returning letter winners, Coach Gozora is expecting fine performances from John Salvatore, Bob Burke, Perry Randise, Bob Brand and Vinnie Pomparelli. A winning record is anticipated if the team maintains a good atti- tude throughout the season. This also includes keeping the mental errors to a minimum. The team should have a strong defense and a lot of help from the mound. The hitting potential is still a question this early in the season. The two big games of the 1977 season will probably be against Madison Township and Cedar Ridge. During last year's season the Bom- bers were defeated twice by each of these teams at away fields. This year with the added incentive and good execution of plays the Bom- bers should be victorious. SCOREBOARD (1976) SWMHS 12 E.

Along with the team win- ning the Conference, many individual players were acknowledged for their performances. Both Tim Brand and Bob Nelson won local hon- ors while Tim went on to make 2nd team All- State. Coach Tony Malara welcomes the return of Varsity veterans Bob Nelson, Tim Brand, Mark Conroy and Mark Tyler. Nelson will supply the team with consistent pitching due to his con- trol. Playing in the shortstop position is Tim Brand who is excellent in hitting and fielding. Mark Conroy and Mark Tyler are expected to do fine jobs on the mound and in the field respec- tively. The team is expected to improve this year offensively due to the acquisition of a pitching machine. The boys work out with it everyday and it should help them improve their hitting abilities. The Sayreville team is also known for its defense. When the Bombers take the field, Sayreville is respected throughout the county and the state. The Bombers have the winning attitude, the skill and a strong bench to help out the team. As in any other sport, it is not just the individ- uals that win the games but rather the contrib- ution of the entire team. Everything that is done from March 1st up until the last game is done to benefit the team. Coach Malara feels that their biggest goal is the thrill of athletic competition, to win, to enjoy and to maintain the fine tradi- tion of Sayreville Baseball.

The 1976 Girls' Softball team bears an almost flawless record. Completing the season with a 21-2 log, the girls also brought home a pair of titles — MCAC Champs and 1st place in the County Tourney. This year's team will not be hampered by the loss of a large number of seniors, as there were only two graduating members from last year. The bulk of the team has returned and Coach Pat Willis can only hope to perfect her out- standing record. This is an attainable goal as the strength of her pitching staff lies in senior Karen DeSiena, who has been a consistent winner. The second half of the battery consists of sen- ior catcher Deb Szymanski and freshman rookie Lisa Liquori. An early season illness prevented Szymanski from performing until the end of the season. The remainder of the defensive positions are maintained by returning letter winners janet Murray, Rhonda Rompola, Lee Szatkowski, Barb Hennessy, Terry Travisano and Gayle Grankow- ski. Only two of the nine positions had been vacated through Graduation, and they will eas- ily be filled by suitable replacements. Offensively, the team will have no problems in continuing the high scoring tradition of past seasons. Behind the hitting potential of seniors Lee Szatkowski and Karen DeSiena and junior Rhonda Rompola, the girls look forward to a repeat of last year's powerful performances. The team is also blessed with the speed found in such players as Janet Murray and Barb Hen- nessy. Their base running efforts have helped the team considerably. As always, Ms. Willis is anxiously anticipating the East Brunswick game, along with facing a newcomer to the schedule — Middletown South. With the experience, attitude and desire that the 1977 Softball team possesses, the girls should be able to capture a title and continue to improve their highly respected style.

The eleven man team has only three seniors, Phil Sollecito, Bob Wranovics and John Stanton. They will be backed up by juniors Don Klaproth and John Dreyfuss and mostly by soph- omores Jeff Kabat and John DeFilippis. Playing first singles will be Jeff Kabat who appears to be the strongest on the squad. The remaining two singles matches will be rotated between team captain Phil Sollecito, John Stan- ton and John DeFilippis. As a team, there seems to be no lack of expe- rience because four of the seven starters will have all played in previous years. Also, there is a lot of depth on the team which means that the two doubles teams should do well. Bob Wrano- vics will be effective in leading the doubles matches. Coach Gilfillan is confident that the team can reverse the trend of three losing seasons and is looking forward to a winning record with at least 13 wins out of 25 matches. A factor which may be beneficial to the team's success is a change in the scheduling of the girls' matches. For the first time, the Girls' Tennis team competed during the fall season. This change eliminated the problems of con- flicting court time for practices and the schedul- ing of meets.

After coming from a disappointing 76 season of 4-10, the 1977 Girls' Varsity Spring Track team looks very promising. Despite the loss of various key starters of the 1976 season, the 1977 athletes should fill the shoes with ease due to the fact that there are 20 varsity letter winners returning this year. Both head coach Sue Maurer, and assistant coach Karen Loupassakis, anticipate a good season. Everyone is working hard. It is because of their willingness to work that the coaches find the 1977 team easier to coach. The team looks toward the running ability of seniors Jamie Brent, Rosemary Fischer and Pat Himey; junior Gina Eckstrom; and sophomores Mary Jane Briody, Karen Brent and Mary Heuss- ner. The field events will be led by seniors Mary Jane Korleski, Kathy Stochel, Rory VanFossen, Lori Swider and Betsy Dunn. The team, how- ever, is very skilled and resourceful as a whole. Twenty-five freshmen, more than ever before, are on the team. An even bigger asset to the 1977 team is the harmony between the classes and on the entire team. It is because of this compatibility that the team will mature not only in the individual events, but also mature and improve over the 1977 season as a whole.

The Sayreville Spring Track team,.though not yet underway in its 1977 season, looks very strong and promising. Overall, the team's versa- tility will be the key to a successful season. The strong points of the squad will be its hurdlers and sprinters. Senior Bob Devlin, an All-County hurdler, will be rotated between the hurdles and the sprints according to where he will prove most effective to the team's success. Alongside Devlin will be senior jim Gutkowski and sopho- mores Scott Unkel in the hurdles and junior john Pitti in the sprints, who are all expected to run strong this year. In the half-mile and mile, senior Tom Kirk should be turning out some good times and anchoring the team in those events as well as running on the relay team. In the distance events, the team will rely mostly on sophomores Eric Veit and Charley Klauder and senior jim Paros who are all in good shape from the Winter Track season. The team's added strength will come in the javelin and discus with seniors Ken Drwal and Paul Mickiewicz and junior john Syslo. The javelin relay team is probably the best in the county. The weak areas on the team are in the pole- vault and shot-put which is due to inexperience and will rely on the underclassmen. Junior Keith Gilde will be helping the team out in the long jump and another junior, Glenn Krieger will be responsible for carrying the team in the high jump. Glenn will try to make up for the loss of Dean Unkel who had set the school record in the high jump but has been sick and could not make it out for the team. Coach Doll feels that if the team can avoid injuries, especially to valuable and vital runners like Devlin and Gutkowski, and if Ken Drwal's knee and Paul Mickiewicz's hand will heal in time, the team should go better than .500 and win 9 out of 12 of its meets.

It means the entire student community — each class made up of unique individuals contributing to our school. It also includes the things these people bring with them — their talents and abilities, their offers of friendship and their goals. All of the school's people are united in a com- mon goal of growth and learning. They grow and learn not only through academic endeavors but also through meaningful associations with their peers. Each person who in some way helps another to learn and grow cannot help but enrich his or her own life. The friendships which develop over the years are influential in the evolution of students into mature adults. Through personal interactions, the development of athletics, writing, artistic abilities and career oriented activities, the Sayreville student becomes a contributing member of the high school community.

Com- ing from an atmosphere in which they had the upper hand, they were forced to relinquish their authority to the upperclassmen. With the planning of their Homecoming float, the class began a hectic year of activity. As their contribution to this year's theme of Fantasy Land, the sophomores offered a float entitled Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Their most challenging encounter was the experience of taking exams for the first time. If no other event made the sophomore feel con- fused, this first exposure to an exam week surely did. Although they may not have been accus- tomed to the routine in September, in time they fell into step. Throughout the extremely cold winter of 1977, the unknowing sophomores enjoyed the freedoms of snowdays, unaware of the price to be paid in June. With the end of the school year came a sense of relief and the realization that they had suc- cessfully accomplished their goals. The Class of '79 had completed its first year at Sayreville War Memorial High School with the thought that the year's experiences would never lose their significance. 128 Front: Gina Guerrieri, Laurie Spiecker, June Carnegie, Mary Lynn Sollecito.

Disco Nite was unlike any other dance held at SWMHS. It featured both a live rock band, Starflite, and a disc jockey, Wally. Special lighting effects were created by Joe Marsch, and refreshments were provided by a committee headed by Tracy Rupp. Dance con- tests were part of the evening, with Terry Hue- gel winning best dancer and June Carnegie and John Salvatore winning the top honors for best couple. The contest winners were awarded albums by Peter Frampton and Earth, Wind and Fire. The enthusiasm of the partici- pants made Disco Nite a success. 130 With obvious enjoyment.

Their entry in the float competition was entitled Somewhere Over the Rainbow and featured the colorful characters from The Wizard of Oz. Dorothy was portrayed by Gina Guerrieri. She was joined by Grace Pohl, Nancy Malkiewicz, June. Carnegie and Karen Brent as the Scare- crow, the Tin Man, the Lion and the Wicked Witch. Accompanying the float were munch- kins Debbie Richel, David Salvatore, Debbie Terminerra and Chris Tomkowski. The float was designed by June Carnegie and Cindy Naglich and constructed by William Kos- cis and Mr. Horvath, who also supervised the entire project.

Unfortunately, the sophomore class has no prom or graduation to look forward to in the spring. However, there is an event which means just as much as any of these happenings. It is the purchase of the high school ring — the concrete memory of high school days. Although the class of 79 will not get their rings until October of the following year, they spoke with the Balfour representatives in January and ring measure- ments and orders were taken in the spring. The sophomores are anxiously awaiting the acquisition of their rings, qualifying them as full-fledged juniors.

Although only a small piece of metal, the ring is symbolic of a special achieve- ment. The privilege of wearing the Sayreville ring brings with it a new attitude and a new degree of respect from other members of the school community. As members of the junior class, most students develop a sense of confidence and begin to actively participate in events that once seemed frightening. The most meaningful day of the year comes in the month of May. The Junior Prom represents the first opportunity to enjoy an evening set aside only for them. While the prom itself lasts for only an evening, the impression it made is one not soon to be forgotten. A junior welcomes his or her new-found maturity most whole-heartedly. Their eagerness to progress to the next step grew stronger day by day. With this new goal in sight, the juniors anxiously waited for the Class of 77 to graduate so they could proclaim themselves as the sen- iors of Sayreville War Memorial High School.

As sophomores, the Class of 78 anxiously anticipated the opportunity to order school rings. A Balfour Company representative pre- sented a slide show providing detailed informa- tion concerning ring selections. This was the first time a program of this nature has been shown at Sayreville. This assembly helped bring about sales of over 80%. The Class of 78 was the first class to be affected by the change in ring styles. The basic outline of the ring is the same, however, its shape and weight are slightly different. The vari- ations this year also contributed to the decrease in ring price by almost 40%.

All members of the Junior Class were given illustrated order forms with which to sell the candy, which came in five vari- eties and sold for $1.25 a box. The class had originally planned to award prizes to the 3 people who sold $150, $100 and $75 worth of candy. Tom Simanek received the 3rd place prize which was a Kodak Instamatic Camera. Mrs. Lang commented that No 1st and 2nd prizes were awarded due to the widespread apathy on the part of the Junior Class. No stu- dents sold the required $150 and $100 amounts needed to receive the first or second prizes. Stove Pelszynski, Kith Peters. Cindy Petersen, Marina Pfeiffer, Dave Pietrulewicz.

A Junior Class has not won the award since 1973, after which the Sen- ior Classes began their domination of the event. The theme of the winning float was Hansel and Gretel. Jeff Baker and Peggy Buchman por- trayed the two youngsters in front of their fairy- land home. Junior Class volunteers designed and constructed the float, contributing greatly to its success.

With this new awareness of maturity, the sen- iors began the year with enthusiasm. We partici- pated in such events as Homecoming, where we entered our final float, Little Red Riding Hood and elected Diane Doyle Homecoming Queen 1976. After the excitement of football season had subsided, we settled down to the more rigid schedule of the winter. We gratefully accepted the several snow days given us, well aware that the day for graduation was already set. Once again we survived through a hectic exam week, bringing us one step closer to june 9. After we had settled down from the activity of Blue and Grey Week, and the midyear averages were calculated for the last time, Dr. Parnell informed Karen McGuire and Denise Gavaletz that they had achieved the honors of Valedicto- rian and Salutatorian respectively. With the arrival of spring and the warm weather it brought, both the faculty and the underclassmen noticed the lack of concern in the attitudes of the seniors. Instead of spending hot, sunny days in the classroom, the soon to be graduates took off for the beach. At the end of May came the long-awaited Senior Trip. The total enjoyment derived from the day made up for the long bus ride to Down- ingtown, Pennsylvania. The trip was only a pre- view of an even bigger day to come. On an evening in June, over 250 couples boarded buses which took them to Hickory Hill Country Club in Tottowa. Delighting to the music of Prism, the seniors and their guests enjoyed the evening while realizing that it was their last formal event together before gradua- tion. The day had come at last — june 9, 1977. Although during the last three years at SWMHS the day had seemed forever unreachable, it had now arrived. With inspiration in our hearts and goals set in our minds, we departed from this protective environment resolving .to question what we had once accepted. 152 VALEDICTORIAN SALUTATORIAN KAREN McGUIRE DENISE GAVALETZ Front: Secretary Eileen Drennan, Vice President LuAnn Unkel, President Jim Wojcik, Secretary Vanessa Barbeito, Treasurer Jackie Pearson.

However, their season was not a total loss, as they learned the meaning of teamwork and developed a closeness that did not end with the season. The Class of 77 proved to be the most spirited of the four classes on the team which was evident by their constant enthusiasm. The field hockey seniors may not have been the class with the skill, but undoubtedly, it was the class with the spirit.

It is one of the few times during the school year that the students from each class unite for a common goal. This year, there was just as much competition around the track as there was on the field. The seniors failed in taking home the Best Float Award, but were fortunate enough to display five of the most attractive girls in Sayre- ville High history as Homecoming Queen candi- dates.
