N J 0fky . � QUO VADI8 197 Sayreville War Memorial High Qchool Parlin, New Jersey 08859 Volume 38 Quo Vadis 1979 is concerned pri- marily with change. Change in atti- tude, area and action. These changes are fundamental to the growth of our school and in turn, our individual growth. This year has been decidedly one of marked change. With the trend in edu- cation returning to the basics, we are learning different things, and the changes in departmental organization have often shown us new faces teach- ing and leading us. There are many things that have remained consistent in Sayreville War Memorial High School, but for this year, we have chosen to highlight the parallel between our lives and our sur- roundings. To better clarify those places and people who have gone through trans- ition, we are using the symbol of the asterisk. This asterisk will appear exculsively on the pages of those changes that have taken place in this year, our year — 1979.

After the tumultuous changes and transitions of our high school years the stable influences in our lives become visible and hopefully, appreciated. It is in this spirit that Quo Vadis 1979 is dedicated to Mr. James Todd and Mrs. Irene Todd, who in their 52 years of teaching gave unselfishly of them- selves. Mr. and Mrs. Todd were both active in school and in extra-curricular activi- ties. For many years, Mrs. Todd's knowledge of cosmetics proved an invaluable asset to theatrical produc- tions as she was advisor to Paint ‘N’ Powder. Mr. Todd brought many ideas to the school yearbook in his long years as Quo Vadis advisor. Mr. and Mrs. Todd were both inno- vative and practical in their respective positions as head of the Math Depart- ment and English Department. Through their personal and profes- sional generosity, they have left SWMHS with an active memory of their innovations and ideas.

Superintendent Marks 34th Year Mr. Henry Counsman, Superintend- ent of Schools, marked 34 years in Sayreville this year, making him the Senior Superintendent in Middlesex County. He attributes much of his suc- cess to the cooperation of fine faculty, administrators, and students. Our Superintendent began his career as an industrial arts teacher in the high school. He feels his teaching experience has helped him in understanding the pressures and diffi- culties that a teacher must withstand. He was the assistant football coach from 1945 to 1947, and the head coach from 1952 to 1958, showing his interest in the athletic program. He is pleased with the growth of the girls’ sports program, and is thrilled with the success of the girls’ teams. Mr Counsman has seen many changes since the commencement of his career, and is highly in favor of many recent innovations. He felt the tardiness and attendance policies were badly needed and feels that dis- cipline is necessary even with high school students. He also feels the Thorough and Effi- cient Education Program is very Top: Dealing with one of the many problems that reach his desk daily. Mr Counsman calls upon his years of experience in making decisions. Right: The Superintendent con- sults with his secretary on the upcoming Board meeting. important in getting “back to basics,’’ but noted that Sayreville schools have always emphasized fundamentals. Compensatory Education classes were formed for students who per- formed poorly on state tests, although it is still too early to evaluate their suc- cess. The Superintendent also feels the Special Education system, which pro- vides an individual program for those students who need personal attention is important. He would also like to see a broader vocational program for those who do not plan to pursue aca- demic areas. He noted that students’ rights have been expanded during the time that he has been Superintendent. A student’s records are now confidential, and may be released only with his or her con- sent. Also, before a student is sus- pended, a type of hearing can be set up with the parent, teacher, principal and student. In his 34 years, Mr. Counsman has noticed some changes in the students. They are “more mature today and ask more questions.” In comparison with students in nearby areas, he feels Sayreville has less discipline problems, shown by “few fights and little student violence.” Mr. Counsman has found his most satisfying experience as Superintend- ent to be working with cooperative people, and achieving success in the schools. He feels Sayreville is “truly blessed,” and is proud to be a part of its educational system. 20 Parnell Heads International Committee Dr. Marie Parnell From October 9 to 20, Dr. Parnell vis- ited Geneva, Switzerland to serve as chairperson on a committee to evaluate Geneva's International School. She was chosen by the Middle States Accredita- tion Association which has the responsi- bility of determining if the school meets all of the standards for an accredited sec- ondary school. Every school under the control of this organization must be eval- uated every ten years. Dr. Parnell had many responsibilities as chairperson, including the organization of the visiting committee, consisting of eighteen educa- tors from Europe and Egypt; Dr. Parnell being the only American. Dr. Parnell developed the committee's schedule for the three day visit, and conducted the meetings while they were there. She had to make an oral report to the school at the end of the visit, and wrote an evaluation to be presented to the Middle States Accreditation Association. This will deter- mine whether the school will be accredited or not. Dr. Parnell noted that the school was much different from the American con- cept of a high school. It was on a campus, with many historical buildings contribut- ing to the atmosphere. There were stu- dents from different countries, with a large American representation. The fac- ulty was also multi-national with a major- ity being English. This tended to give what Dr. Parnell described as British overtones to the school, such as teach- ers being addressed by students as Sir or Ma’am . There was even a 20 minute break after third period for tea time. The school day for the international students was much longer than most American students are accustomed to. There are nine class periods, excluding lunch, and the day lasts from 8:15 to 4:45. There are 13 grades, with the 13th being equivalent to the freshman year in college. The students have little choice in their subjects, being required to take aca- demic instead of vocational courses. Each student must study three foreign languages, including English and French. Dr. Parnell noted that the knowledge of group. She noticed that students were quite interested in politics and world affairs, and attributed that to the fact that many of their parents work for the United Nations in Geneva. The teachers were much different from their American counterparts, being less friendly to the students, and conducting the class in a formal atmosphere. They were all highly qualified, and did not con- sider themselves history or biology teach- foreign languages is often more applica- ble in Europe because of the closeness of the countries. Dr. Parnell found little difference between students in Geneva and Sayre- ville, mentioning they also complain about teachers and cause discipline problems. She said because of the diversification of countries there is a wide range of customs and interests within the ers, but historians and biologists. Before arriving at the school, Dr. Par- nell and her husband had a chance to visit some famous landmarks, such as the Matterhorn, Munich and Salzburg. Dr. Parnell, who has served on several similar committees throughout the U.S., found her experience very interesting, and learned a good deal, but was happy to return home.

The dilemma seems to have been solved by the new attendance policy. “The new system has drastically reduced absences, explained Vice Principal Edward Weber, the adminis- trator who handles attendance. The plan allowed each student a maximum of 20 absences for a full-year course (10 for a half year course), after which he is dropped from the course. Mr. Weber noted that in December, 1978 there were 2,024 absences, as com- pared to 1977's 4,106 for the same month — a decrease of 50%. He also mentioned that students who had been chronic absentees in the past were forced to come to school, and often improved their grades. The administrators have more duties than most students realize. Mr. Weber handles discipline and maintenance along with attendance. Mr. Dill works with Dr. Parnell, and runs the school when she is not present. Miss Sowa handles scheduling, and is the Custo- dian of School Monies. All of the authorities agree that teaching has helped them, being famil- iar with classroom situations. They try to maintain a rapport with the stu- dents, understanding their problems and how they think. As Mr. Dill explained, “You have to keep a con- temporary mind!” Mr. Homer Dill Mr Edward Weber.

A similar fate befell the Foreign Language Department when both groups were consolidated to form the Language Arts Department. Headed by Mrs. Georgia Baumann, the Language Arts Department encompasses, in grades 7-12, all English and Foreign Lan- guage courses. The demands of her new position forced Mrs. Baumann to leave her teaching duties. As supervisor, she expresses no regret over this decision and describes herself as “very adapta- ble — like a chameleon, though I do miss the contact occasionally. She feels that her years of “one to one situ- ations” have given her greater insight into the way she must handle the div- erse range of people and situations she encounters daily. Though her hours are longer and the responsibilities are greater, Mrs. Baumann’s enthusiasm for her job is evident. Her animation when she speaks of the new compensatory pro- gram and her satisfaction at the suc- cessful cohesion of the departments are best reflected in a busy moment when Mrs. Baumann can still look up and say “I love it!!

Referring to the nearly com- pleted art wing, Mrs. Sforza outlined the reasons it is so desperately needed. “We'll finally have space for expanded storage, a greater working environment, room for equipment we've never been able to have, and greater amounts of space for inde- pendent work.” The art wing consists of an enor- mously spacious room, approximately twice the width of the normal class- room. The open space will be divided into three teaching stations, however, no barricades will arbitrarily separate the room, so that it will be easy to man- uever about. Mrs. Sforza described “the gorgeous furniture, six new sinks, modern jewelry benches, ceramic wheels — just the ideal set up! Though the contractor began work in December of 1977, there had been talk of an expanded art program for five to six years. As a part of a defeated bond referendum, the plans were retained in the hope that Sayre- ville could raise funds in another man- ner. That hope was fulfilled in the form of a federal grant in the summer of 77. Members of the art faculty expressed the hope that the wing would be com- pleted by January. Says Mr. Resh, who’s been a teacher for many years, “It’ll be like starting all over again.” The vacated classrooms will be uti- lized in expanding the Special Educa- tion program; students held back at the Junior High will be invited to join the High School resource center, an occasion they have awaited anxiously and enthusiastically.

A product of this year's departmen- tal reorganization is the Math-Science Department. The two closely related subject areas were combined under the supervision of Mrs. Irene Arthur. As a supervisor, Mrs. Arthur was forced to leave her teaching duties, but was faced with the responsibility of coordinating the many alterations throughout the department. An expanded Compensatory Math Program was an important innovation. Students needing aid in mastering the basic skills were placed in special classes where they received the nec- essary attention. Because there were many students in this category, new teachers, Miss Bjelka and Mrs. McCormack were added. Although the Compensatory Math Program was stressed, higher level courses continued to be offered for those who are more advanced in their studies. In the sciences, students with a strong interest in life science took Advanced Biology, while in the Mathe- matics area, a student had the choices of Probabilities and Calculus, an Advanced Placement course taught for the first time this year by Dr. Evano- vich. In its initial year the Math-Science department combined courses on all levels of math and science in benefit- ing as many students as possible.

Crowded Conditions Must Be Contended With While change characterizes most of the departments this year, physical education seemed to escape the upheaval. “Overcrowding and lack of equipment are the reasons no new programs were developed.’’ stated Mr. John Hefelfinger. department chair- person. The program itself has increased in variety, but with limited space in the winter, few activities are offered. The excitement of co-ed gym has been quieted in a basic acceptance by both sexes. Every activity, except wrestling and exercising to music, is now coeducational. Mr. Hefelfinger intimated that class sports have “suf- fered”, and disclosed they are often “male dominated”. Increased paperwork brought about the possibility of eliminating the spring elective program. Teachers found it difficult to have their students split into different groups, each with special skills and written tests to be recorded. Overall, Mr. Hefelfinger expressed a desire to achieve a “well-rounded pro- gram, where everyone has some exposure to different activities.” Top; Showing good sportsmanship, Robert Posik smiles after being pinned.

Future Business Leaders of America Advisor Top: Alone in her office, Mrs. Dulemba reviews a text for future use It Wasn't Quite a Temporary Thing “Changes? Dear me, have we changed1 exclaimed Mrs. Dulemba. We’ve grown from one school to two schools and from three teachers to . . These two ideas are only a skeleton of the expansion and growth that has tran- spired in business education since Mrs. Dulemba, chairperson of the Business Department, started teaching in 1950 as a temporary replacement for a teacher on maternity leave. As you can see. it wasn’t quite a temporary thing! Neither has Mrs. Dulemba’s energetic concern and interest been temporary. She has watched the business depart- ment expand and develop from a “co-op program that offered no pay, only free bus tickets from the Board of Education to the current COE program that provides students with practical experience and earnings for their efforts. She has encouraged all students to obtain jobs in business fields, Even col- lege prep kids, she added Individuals who wish to pursue busi- ness related fields have never had it so good. The institution of Distributive Edu- cation and the data processing equip- ment allow the student a realistic and practical simulation of employment situa- tions and conditions. In spite of the excellent job placement out of the COE program, Mrs. Dulemba noted the lack of boys enrolled in a full business course load. I wish we had more boys in COE. We find that they take a few courses, but tend to trickle out before they've gotten to a well-rounded business schedule. I believe that they still fear the image, and as she concluded she added with a smile. But people will be people, you know.

Outside the COE program, no course attains this objective as thoroughly as does the new Cooperative Industrial Education Program. In accordance with Sayreville’s “year of changes,'’ the Industrial Arts Department has initiated a major addi- tion to its program; CIE is in its first year of existence at Sayreville. Similar to the COE Business Program, it has a two-fold purpose, to find jobs for voca- tional students, and to supplement industrial education with on-the-job training. Mr. Steve Cserr, coordinator of the program and Machine Shop teacher, outlined the specifics of the program. “First of all. the student must work a minimum of 15 hours per week, but is Above: With a look of determination, Bill Lockie works on a silk screen. Top Right: Using his newly developed photography skills, George Chrysanthopoulos dries his negative. not permitted to work past 6 P.M. Perhaps because of this restriction only seven seniors are enrolled in the program, taking advantage of 12:09 dismissal. The CIE participant is required to spend at least two hundred minutes in a related class. The stu- dents meet second period with Mr. Cserr, where they discuss work situa- tions. problems that may arise on the job, and the project in which they are currently involved. Certified by the Vocational Division of New Jersey, Mr. Cserr's job is a demanding one. Serving as a Supervi- sor of Employment, he thoroughly inspects working conditions to be cer- tain they are safe. He also evaluates each student's performance and determines the success of the pro- gram for each individual. School attendance is mandatory. Should a student be absent from school, he or she is not permitted to report to work. So far, says Mr. Cserr, “It’s been great — a total of four absences for seven students all year. ’’ As it is the first year of the program, there was not a large turn out, how- ever, those involved have already ben- efited a great deal. The CIE partici- pants are. Sue Fuoti, John Bruno, Phil Kaeser, James Phillips, Mike Mosa- kowski, Tim Triggs, and William Wru- bel. Their vocational interests include everything from carpentry to auto mechanics. Sue, the only female in the group, is employed as a “draftsper- son” with Fredrick Kurtz, a local civil engineer. Department chairman John Rupp submits, “When the high school stu- dent has an idea of what he or she would like to become, meanwhile gain- ing high school job experience, he has it one up on the student without the experience. In this way, both the stu- dent and his employer gain, in that the student-employee becomes more responsible and contributes in the employee relationship.” Living Within a Budget Although the most relevant to the student’s every day life, the Home Economics Department is often unfairly overlooked as an essential part of the curriculum. The various courses make high school students aware of the problems they will face after graduation. Should they decide to live independently or with their fami- lies, certain responsibilities will have to be realized. The department's purpose is to prepare students for such matters as living within a budget, purchasing products wisely, managing home details such as cooking and cleaning, and most importantly, living with oth- ers in a household, explained Chair- person Mrs. Monica Newton. Mrs. Newton went on to say, The effects of T E are greatly felt. For instance, the student who had trouble measuring a half-inch seam or two- thirds of a cup of flour, will be helped by the Comp. Math program. Thinking realistically, it is quite diffi- cult to find a job in the Home Ec field without a college or technical school background. Essentially, noted the chairperson, the program is designed to instruct the young adult in the means of survival. Living independ- ently is more difficult than we may believe.

Borak Library Expands Educational Process The library, an important part in every student’s education, made few changes this year. It continued to offer a wide choice of books and periodi- cals, and also provided New York Times microfilms for those people interested in recent history. The overcrowding of books necessi- tated the purchase of new stacks, and the rearrangement of the library. The 17,000 volumes were supplemented by books purchased with money allo- cated to the library. The allocation is according to enrollment, which has dropped; thus decreasing the pur- chases. Mrs. Simko noted that a good deal of money is spent replacing sto- len books. The library tries to obtain books which will interest students, and encourage them to use its facilities more often. v v The Board of Education appointed Mr. Benjamin Baum as the new Guid- ance Director. Mr. Baum, who replaced Russel Downs, is in charge of Special Services throughout the school system. Among his responsibil- ities are the Guidance Department, Special Education, and Custodial Ser- vices. He did not make many altera- tions, as he spent his first year familiar- izing himself with the workings of the department. Guidance MR. DANIEL NEWCOMER Counseling Department Chairman.

Tewell Mrs. Lorraine Simko New Resource Facilities The completion of the new wing benefited more than just art students. The transfer of the art students made room for a Resource Room in which special education students are taught. Mrs. Caryl Comeforo teaches the High School age students who are in a spe- cialized program called the Individual Education Plan (IEP), which suits their needs. Everyone is on a different level, so they must receive special attention. Mrs. Comeforo is aided by a Child Study Team, consisting of a psycholo- gist, a Learning Disability Teaching Consultant, and a social worker. The members review each of the 17 stu- dents separately, helping to develop their lEP’s. The team is available at all times to deal with problems which arise. There are many state laws to protect the rights of these students. All of their evaluations are kept confidential, and their pictures may not be taken while in the special classes. Class size is lim- ited to five students, so each person may get the necessary special atten- tion. They may spend up to three peri- ods in the Resource Room, receiving help in English, Math and Social Stud- ies. Mrs. Comeforo, who has always been interested in working with the disadvantaged, has a degree in psy- chology to supplement her teaching degree. She noted that the Special Education Department is presently undergoing revision and expansion. Special Services MRS. CARYL COMEFORO Resource Room; MA; Sophomore Class Advisor MRS.

Eus- torgio had the unique opportunity to travel here from his country, and study at Sayreville High School for one year. An organization called Youth for Understanding offered him this experi- ence. Eustorgio explained, “I was not afraid to travel all the way to a strange country alone. The Youth for Under- standing group moved from California to Washington, D.C., and as a result of the company change, I was placed in a camp until I could be placed with a family.” He enjoyed his stay at the camp in Pennsylvania, describing it as “an interesting chance to meet young people from all over the world.” Eustorgio stayed with the Howell family who have three children. He has enjoyed his stay in America immensely, however, he said the school system here is harder. He explained, “It's a good experience, but I still like Mexico. It's where I live, where I was born.” He said he has missed his family and friends most on holidays. Eustorgio has made many friends in the United States. He said young peo- ple are more independent in Mexico, and parents are less strict. He was very surprised to find that in America 2:00 a.m. is considered late for him to get home. He played on the Sayreville soccer team, and has played in Mexico as well. When asked what he missed most from Mexico, he said it was the Mexican food. Eustorgio added, “American food is boring. Everybody eats the same things; hamburgers, hotdogs, and french fries.” 48 While using the library facilities, Eustorgio Meza locates his homeland on the globe Robert Burns Cheryl Buttitta Donna Buyofski Alberto Camacho Lisa Cameron Robert Cann Tom Cannon Tom Carney Cathy Carrano Daniel Carter Joseph Caruso Virginia Cascais Jim Casella Ann Castello Renee Castrorao Evan Celfand Debbie Cerase Donna Chiaramonte Ann Cholowski Jill Christensen George Chrysanthopoulos Meg Clark Steve Cohen Jim Comertord Jeff Connors Sharon Conrad Terry Cooney Steven Costello Debbie Coyle Karen Coyle Lisa Croasman Patricia Crummy Steve Cunha Lisa Cypra Ed Czachur Scott D'Aloia Jim Danella Tony DArpa Kim Deatherage Liz DeBiase Margaret Dekanski Mark Delgado Donna DelGuercio Sharon DeMarco Top: During a timed writing, Jill Knast concentrates on increasing her speed Right After lunch Lynn Phillips and Kathy Hartman take a leisurely walk 49 Jennifer Deutsch Lee Devine Katherine Diaczyszyn Chris DiPoalo Judy Dodge Susan Down Lori Drohan Robyn Dropkin Diane Drotar John Dryzga David During Greg Dusko Greg Dwyer Michael Dzergoski Marie Dziekan Alexis Eberle Arlene Eck David Eisenberger Estelle Elwood Ed English Wayne Eppinger Paul Eska Greg Faczak Nancy Fallon David Farmer Donald Farmer Claire Farrell Robin Fazekas Taryn Fennelli Don Ferenci Kathy Fig Robert Fingerlin Sue Flechner Rich Florenzie Arturo Fortoul Cindi Foster Anthony Frasco Karen Freeman 50 Top: Patty Mulcahy takes a moment to dream of things to come.

Enthusiasm Leads Class of '81 “ '81, '81, ’81,” was the call of sophomore rowdies as the first pep rally of the year began. Their enthusi- asm carried over into their ambitious class plans for the 78-79 year. The class of '81 was headed by President Pam Schenker, Vice Presi- dent Paula Turso, Treasurer Joyce Schenker and Secretary Judy Kalicki. Advisors were Mrs. Wasilewski, Mr. Corrigan, and Mrs. Comeforo. The class advisors were really a great help. They were always available if anyone had a problem. They also offered advice on class projects,” reflected Judy Kalicki. The first major event for the sopho- mores was the construction of the homecoming float, followed by jewelry sales in November and December and various candy and cake sales. Memories of the junior high seem to be overshadowed by visions of next year as the sophomore class eagerly work toward their junior year. mm Above Incoming Sophomores relish the foods at the Foreign Language Festival Brian Freid Curt Friedlander Andrea Froshon Phil Fuotl Mike Fuldom Justine Fuller Tom Gallagher Susan Gan George Gawron Gerald Giordano Lynda Giovenco Diane Gizzi Betty Goetz Mary Goetz Karen Golaszewski Robert Golla Kelly Gorka Steve Goskowski Steve Grandinetti Dawn Grant Mike Grau Elise Green Scott Griffin Tom Grzymski Stephen Gulick Stephanie Gumas Lisa Haber Timothy Hahn Albert Haklar Doug Haley Dave Hall Lori Haltli Cathy Hambley Kevin Haney Donna Hanlon June Hardbrod Theresa Hart 51 Kathleen Hartman Charles Heil 52 Maria Hilger Linda Himey Holly Hohsfield Cindy Huegel Joseph Hughes Lisa lorillo Beth Jackowski Patty Jadwinski Brent Jatfe Lisa Jakob Nancy Jasko JoAnn Jedrusiak Lisa Johnson Stan Johnson Angela Jones Madeline Jones Judy Kalicki Paul Kallnischkies Vickie Kalogerakos Joe Kalonowki Rich Kaluzny Judi Kaminski Donna Kampt Arnold Kath Donald Kausch Laura Kawalec Above Right Jeanne Rogers and Penny Silletti dis- cuss a new musical number Right Mrs. Barnard assists Angela Jones in tabulating a notehand.

Rita learned to swim when she was two and began competing at the age of six at the YMCA. Ever since the age of twelve, she's been coached by Frank Elm. Rita swims for the AAU and must practice for 2V2 hours in the winter and 4 Vi hours in the summer to keep in top competitive form. During the summer months, Rita swims at the Metuchen Municipal Center, while in the winter she practices at Rutgers University. Rita has competed in meets all along the Northeast Coast and has gone to Boston, Lancaster and Phila- delphia. Rita’s strongest events are distance races. Her weakest events are the butterfly and sprints. Although swimming cuts down on her social life tremendously, Rita thinks it’s worth the effort. She comes home from school, does homework, practices and then goes to bed exhausted. She loves to swim competitively and enjoys going to new places and meeting new peo- ple.

In the New Jersey State Field Archery Championships this past summer, John lasted through two days of pres- sured contest to come out a winner. After taking first place in the youth divi- sion, John received a trophy and the distinguished title. Another archer, John Lynch, also finds satisfaction through his endeav- ors in competition. He took part in the same contest as John Dryzga, but they did not find themselves rivals, as their age differences put them in different categories.

And conflicts there were. From the arguments over the color of the cover to the “discussion of where senior portraits were misplaced and by whom, Quo Vadis editors often mar veiled at their ability to get any work done on time. Amazingly enough, it did get done, and not without the originality the staff strived for. Prompted by the construc- tion of the new wing. Quo Vadis 1979 focuses on the obvious and the not- so-obvious changes that affect us. It was not uncommon for A-229 to be lit up and occupied as late as 9:30 or 10:00 p.m., as deadlines forced even the most hesitant editor to the typewriter. Room, or lack of it, was a pressing concern, as articles and pictures dis- appeared with annoying regularity. The long awaited arrival of a storage cabinet brought some relief, but even that bore a striking resemblance to the Aegean stables after only three days use. Third year advisor Ms. Karen Joseph acknowledged the unique situ- ation that the 1979 staff faces as a fol- lowup to two successive first place awards in the Columbia Scholastic Press Competition. “The 1979 year- book is an innovative one. I think the quality of the writing, together with the expansions and innovations will undoubtedly bring us our third first place. Echoing the cautious hopes of all the staff, she then exclaimed, “Wouldn’t it be nice to win a Medal- ist!” The expressions around the room at this statement all reflected one sen- timent: “It certainly would!

This year the 38 members accom- panied the band on a week long trip to the Endless Mountain Marching Band Camp. There they were given special help on their routines and were taught new moves. They have participated in the Home News Festival at Rutgers Stadium, Woodbridge Fireman’s Parade, Sayre- ville Halloween Parade, Madison Cen- tral Band Competition, and a Christ- mas parade competition. The members of the band and its front units attended the World Interna- tional Parade and Field competition on May 19 through 22 in Toronto, Can- ada. Fund-raisers, such as candy sales, bumper sticker sales and pan- cake breakfasts were organized to buy new equipment and to partially pay for the trip. The band was also a regular feature at each football game. The twirlers worked daily, practicing their routines, which included for the first time, a number where all twirlers twirled two batons. Another speciality feature had the captains twirling fire in their new sparkle uniforms. Captains of the drill team, Lisa Jan- kech and Karen Wos also expressed hope for expansion of their squads. The purchase of new pom-poms added a new element to the routines which were practiced on the average of three to four days a week. The united effort made by each sec- tion of the band resulted in a well-pol- ished, precise routine, of which Mr. Brindza expressed satisfaction.

Cheers for 30 Years In thirty years as Cheerleading advi- sor, Mrs. Miriam Fehrle has seen the attitude of cheerleaders go from girls who “eat, sleep, and breathe cheer- leading to those who just don’t care, as one cheerleader admitted with a shrug of her shoulders. Aside from this unfortunate develop- ment that “seniors especially” have contributed to, the squad had increased in size and were afforded the opportunity to attend a camp where their skills were improved. Mrs. Fehrle remarked on a recent “trend toward more complicated gymnas- tics,” a departure from the “traditional cartwheel and split” that characterized most cheers. With no competitions being held in the Middlesex County area this year, the girls had more time for perfecting their routines. Besides making appear- ances at games, the cheerleaders also painted signs urging student attend- ance at games and banners that hung in the locker room. To a large degree, their efforts paid off, as attendance and participation picked up considerably and they cheer with us now related Varsity squad member Donna Pacchioli with a smile.

Right: The Homecoming Queen candidates. 84 On October 21, 1978 a home foot- ball game was scheduled for the Bom- bers. It was more than just another game. The crowd was anxiously await- ing the arrival of Janie Murphy, signify- ing the beginning of Homecoming '78. Half-time arrived and the track became a host for dancing elves, a mobile graveyard and a giant box of Valentine Sweets where the five Homecoming Queen candidates sat. As a prelude to the announcement of the Homecoming Queen for 1978, the annual float competition between the classes saw the Junior float, Hallow- een take first place. The time and energy required for float construction and decoration was evident in the Sen- ior's New Year’s Eve and Sopho- more class' Chanukah-Christmas floats also. The Homecoming candidates, Maria Cannata, Darleen Coyle, Sue Fleming, Debbie Richel and Janet Witkowski were escorted down the 50 yard line to wait on the sidelines for the announce- ment of the winner to be made by Stu- dent Council President Mary Jane Briody. In the climatic moment, cheers filled the air and congratulations could be heard for Debbie Richel. She then took the crown and robe from the 77 Queen, Janie Murphy, to begin her reign as 1978 Homecoming Queen.

In previous years the officers have run most of the Council's activities, while this year much of the responsibility went to committee chairpersons. In addition to the better Known flower sales and cancer donations, the Student Council sponsored an adopted child in Mexico, 9-year-old Pablo Gonzales. The Council paid a monthly support of $16.00 and sent Pablo gifts on holidays and his birth- day. Activities closer to home included the purchase of a new podium for the auditorium, a new school banner, and maintenance of the marquee in front of the school. Like other activities, the new attend- ance policies affected the Student Council. While members were previ- ously excused frequently for SC meet- ings, the new policies limited the Council to two meetings a month held during the school day in compliance with the requirements of their National Association. One of the major events of the year was the Beatlemania show spon- sored by the SC. The performance, featuring the group “Rubber Soul,” was deemed a “huge success” by the advisors. The show attracted not only high school students, but also younger students and parents. While most clubs and organizations in the school focused their efforts on the needs of the students, the Student Council also directed its efforts outside the school to civic and community affairs, providing the necessary link between the students and the commu- nity.

Middle Left: Mr. Recine waits patiently to begin his talk with the Basketball Club while Ms. Sunski helps caption a picture. Most organizations function quietly on a day to day basis. The Pep Club was far from quiet. With nearly three times as many members as in previous years, the club was in a better position to build school spirit. Although the Pep Club did not go so far as to claim to be the main cause for the football team’s two victories, the members were happy with their part in building the school's “win” atmos- phere. The 20 members painted color- ful signs for the Bombers, distributed sports schedules, sold tickets for bus rides to away games, and made signs for the lockers of Varsity players. How- ever, Debbie Trickel stated that this was possible “only when the Pep Club was supplied with a team roster.” Somewhat hampered by members’ other time commitments, the Club was not able to attend all games, but their efforts were appreciated by the ath- letes, coaches and spectators throughout the year. “Attendance at basketball games has declined over the years,” admitted Mr. Pat Dineen, Basketball Club advi- sor. However, thanks to the success of the girls’ team last year and the boys’ team this year, fan participation has greatly improved. This may also be due to the Basketball Club’s efforts. The Club was created “to develop an appreciation and understanding of basketball among the student popula- tion,” explained Mr. Dineen. The club is composed of athletes from the boys’ and girls' basketball teams as well as many non-athletes. Mr. Pat Dineen and Ms. Judy Sunski served as co-advisors. The faculty-fac- ulty basketball game between high school and junior high school men, the volleyball game between women teachers, and a student-faculty game were activities sponsored by the club to help promote interest in basketball. Highlights of the year for the club were a trip to Rutgers Athletic Center for the State High School Basketball Tournament and All-Star game, and the end-of-the-year picnic. An Education Pays Off Interested in business, retailing, or advertising? Then the Distributive Edu- cation program is for you! Students learn methods of buying, selling and displaying goods and services. Distrib- utive Education I and II is offered to interested Sophomores and Juniors. Students who have maintained high averages in the DE I and II business courses are recommended for DE III. This makes them eligible to become members of DECA, and participate in an after school employment program worth 15 credits. As members of the Distributive Education Club of Amer- ica, seniors, under the supervision of Mr. Schmeyer, earned the opportunity to demonstrate their retailing skills while gaining on-the-job experience. Fund raisers were held throughout the year to raise money for a dinner held in the spring, honoring students and their employers. Top: Bottom: Robin Pierce, Stacy Polihrom.

The Spanish Club of 1978-1979 was the largest Sayreville High has ever had, with over 150 members. The club held its annual Dla de la Raza in October and participated in the Foreign Language Festival in December. Each festival featured tra- ditional Spanish foods such as tacos and bufiuelos. In the Spring the Spanish Club sponsored the first production of a Foreign Language Magazine The magazine included the creative works of all foreign language students. The magazine was a success and the club hopes to make its publication an annual event. Top: Le Club Frangais. Above Right: Deutsches Klub. Right: El Circulo Espahol. Above: Club mem- ber Santo Castrovo makes a Spanish Ojo . 90 Habla anglais, nicht wahr? The French Club is a group of about 35 students interested in learning more about French society than the classroom can offer. The club had several activities this year. Some stu- dents wrote to French pen pals, and shared their letters with the group. The Foreign Language festival, held in December, familiarized students with French foods, such as quiches, crapes, and onion soup. Students tasted various French cheeses, includ- ing camembert, and garlic and herb cheese. They also sang the Christmas carols Silent Night” and Oh Christ- mas Tree in French. In the spring, the club attended a Broadway show, and had another chance to sample French cuisine at a New York restaurant. A very productive year,” was the response of Vice President Dennis Hahn in reference to the German Club activities this year. The club hit a new high in cultural activities. Authentic German foods highlighted the Foreign Language Festival in December. With such delicacies as Knockwurst and sauerkraut, Hassenpfeffer (rabbit stew), German potato salad, and many different pastries, the German sector of the festival was a smash hit. The club meetings also had a new German flair. President Grace Karaffa brought forth the new idea of showing German movies during the meetings to teach the German culture to club members.

The goals of the society were to tutor French students, and to visit grammar schools to familiarize stu- dents with the language. The purpose of the trip was to interest students in French so that they would consider studying it in high school. The members of the society wanted to expand their own knowledge of the language. During meetings they lis- tened to tapes to improve their pron- unciation. They also competed in national contests for trips and scholar- ships. In the spring, the new members were elected, and an induction cere- mony was held in the library. Students and faculty were invited to attend the solemn ceremony, as members lit can- dles and received certificates of mem- bership.

The Honor Society, in its second year, is advised by Miss C. Kwiatkow- ski, who has helped to broaden its interests. The society, in an attempt to famil- iarize grammar school children with the Spanish language and culture, vis- ited several elementary schools. The members taught the children a few simple Spanish phrases and the cor- rect method of making “Ojos,” a Spanish craft. The Society also tutored students in Spanish and participated in statewide contests. A candy sale was held to help raise money for the induction ceremony held at the end of the year. The cere- mony, which highlighted the year, inducted those Spanish students who had the necessary qualifications. 92 Top German Honor Society Bottom: Dennis Hahn.

The society is comprised of those enrolled in Ger- man III or higher level courses, and have maintained an ‘A’ average throughout their German studies. The main objective of the society has been to revive an interest in Ger- man in the school system. According to President Dan Luther, “With the cutbacks at the Junior High level, Ger- man is rapidly going the way of Latin. To increase interest in German, some of the club’s 13 members went to sixth grade classrooms to introduce the lan- guage to brighter students. It is hoped they will choose German when they get a chance to enroll in language courses at the Junior High. The Society, along with the German Club, boasts of selling imported candy instead of the more commonplace Crunch Bars.

Until this year, NHS has been involved in projects that have func- tioned outside the school, as eviden- ced by their commitment to the Hand- in-Hand program. This year, the members of NHS were able to concentrate their efforts inside the school as teacher-aides for com- pensatory education teachers. They were given much of the over-burden- ing paper work that normally ties up teachers for hours, and thereby cuts down on individual attention time. Included in NHS plans for the spring were a stuffed-animal making session, with the stuffed animals going to a local orphanage, and the induction of juniors and seniors. Induction night especially, held a special feeling for senior members, as this ceremony would be their last together.

Sambucus Canadensis, human lung tissue and a giant salivary gland were just a few of the many slides photo- graphed by the Biology Club in its ini- tial delve into photomicrography. While some eager students prepared slides to inspect the subject for its suit- ability, others perfected their labora- tory technique by making slides of materials such as butterfly wings and fern spores. But the Biology Club does not limit itself to the microscope alone. During the late fall, club members pursued their horticultural interests. Flower bulbs were planted in front of the library. In addition, geraniums were removed from the yard of Mr. Recine and placed in club advisor Mrs. Roma- no’s room to be cared for during the winter months and replanted around the school during the spring. As a community service project, the Biology Club donated the cuttings of coleus they rooted to the Oak View Nursing Home. The gesture was made in the hopes of cheering the elderly patients during the Christmas-Hanu- kah season. To promote the warmth of the holidays within the school commu- nity itself, the club annually prepares the wreath that is hung outside on the library. May 5th, the date of the club’s trip to Island Beach State Park, was their introduction to the world of marine biology. In an attempt to promote the biological sciences within the school, the Biology Club offers a $100 schol- arship to a graduating senior. Above. As Jill Knast focuses the microscope.

The headlines warn us about toxic industrial products and a diminishing natural gas supply. The Ecology Club was interested in these topics and other problems facing the environ- ment. Although the group could not deal directly with the extinction of Ten- essee's snail darter or the oil slicks off the coast of France, they did their best to preserve the beauty of nature close to home. Club activities included planting trees and flowers around the building. It's so nice to help the environment and benefit the school at the same time, stated Mrs. Mackin, club advi- sor. The group also collected waste paper from classrooms and home, and sent it to a recycling plant. Along with their conservational endeavors, the club sold candy and conducted bake sales.

Top Mem- bers of the Ecology Club work together while planting shrubs in front of the school. 97 A Little Bit of Professionalism The Co-operative Vocational Educa- tion Program combines academic training with on-the-job experience. During school hours, students learn clerical and secretarial skills. However, their education goes beyond the classroom. Supervisor Mrs. Dulemba directed students to var- ious job openings. This provided stu- dents with a chance to apply their knowledge while earning an income. All in all, the COE participants repre- sent a small bit of professionalism within the walls of SWMHS.

Unlike many clubs which meet once or twice a month, the Library Council works daily, shelving books, filing magazines, and running errands. “I couldn’t possibly run this library by myself, commented Mrs. Simko. And the Council helps it run so much more efficiently. She was pleased that the members are so willing to give up their study halls and home- room periods.” Along with the 21 female official members” of the group, there was also a boy who vol- unteered his aid. As a reward for their service to the school throughout the year, the group visited New York in the spring. They saw the popular Broadway musical Annie, and dined at a restaurant in the city. The girls work so hard all year, remarked Mrs. Simko. It’s nice to give them a chance to enjoy them- selves. 98 Club Solves Many Problems Most people think of competition only in athletics, never in terms of aca- demics. Yet academic competition is the major activity of the Math Team. The team was reformed last year from the defunct “Math-Alete.” This year, in its second season of competition, the team is ranked near the middle of the Central Jersey Mathematics League. Under the coaching of first year advisor Dr. George Evanovich, the team takes tests once a month. Another meeting each month is spent on problem solving strategies, math games and interesting problems. The team this year presented gradu- ation awards of $25 to the most deserving boy and girl. They also bought several books to help them develop better skills and help increase scores. While the team is expected to improve its standings in the Math League, Dr. Evanovich stated, “High scoring seniors provided the base for the team’s successful year.’’ Above: Club President Arlme Nykvist presents a problem tor discussion by the members Top Right Bottom Vic Wolski, Arlme Nykvist, Karen DiBenedetto.

Though they are a small group, their number has grown over last year, and especially is earmarked by “a remark- able number” of sophomores who have become involved with the club, as Mr. Cunliffe, advisor, pointed out. Because the club often takes a back seat to Mr. Cunliffe’s involvements with the dramatic productions, the club did get off to a slow start. But the time lost did not cause a “stalemate” in their plans, as club members eagerly awaited their spring tourna- ment. 99 Some clubs, like DECA, offer their members jobs. Other clubs, like the FNA, offer valuable training for after high school. The Future Nurses of America combine both of these aspects, helping its members find vol- unteer jobs at local hospitals. At the same time, the club provides literature about nursing schools and teaches girls how to take blood pressure and use a stethoscope. The club is truly made up of Future Nurses; for most members this is a final career choice. Their reasons ranged from ‘‘I like to help people” to “I feel at home in the hospital environ- ment.” Why haven’t they chosen instead to be doctors? One member explained, “It takes too long and nurses have much more patient con- tact than doctors.” The club, now in its second year, has made “much progress” according to advisor Mrs. Albanir. “It provides a way for the girls to get together, to share experiences, and learn about nursing.” This past holiday season, the girls of the club made pom pon animals for the pediatrics ward at Perth Amboy Hospital, and the gifts were delivered at a Christmas party sponsored by the club. Money from a candy sale paid for the gifts and party, and was also used to set up a scholarship fund. Throughout this article the word “girls” keeps appearing. This is because, as Mrs. Albanir explained, “There are male nurses you know. But we haven’t had any boys join the club, and I just don’t foresee that in our future.” Business is an essential element of American society. Its importance was recognized in the Future Business Leaders of America, which was pro- vided instruction for business oriented students. Club members have entered state sponsored contests. Each participant was tested in his field of interest. This accounted for the broad scope of the test, which contained questions rang- ing from parliamentary procedure to current technological advances. The test revealed the contestant’s strengths and weaknesses. To partake in the test, the club was required to compile a scrapbook. Members included pictures with nota- tions of their past activities. The activ- ity named the Outstanding Chapter Project was considered most mean- ingful by club members. They visited Oak View Nursing Home and distrib- uted hand-made articles to the elderly. In the end, their efforts were rewarded with the satisfaction of helping others. Above Left.

The Future Secretaries of America will be, through their early preparation for careers in the business field. In co-operation with the Raritan Bay Chapter of the National Secretaries Association, they scheduled activities to help in their endeavor. In November, a seminar entitled “Go With What You’ve Got” was held. A speaker instructed the audience on how to prepare for a job interview, and the responsibilities of an employee when she gets the job. A model accompanied the lecturer and demon- strated the proper dress and make-up — important parts of any job. There was an informative question-and- answer period following the presenta- tion. Another important activity, Career Day, gives club members first-hand experience in secretarial positions. The girls spend a day working in nearby offices under the guidance of actual secretaries. Some participants in this program are Perth Amboy Hos- pital and Johnson and Johnson Com- pany. Mrs. Barnard, the club advisor, noted, “Students found the practical experience valuable, and gained knowledge that can be used in any career. Top Lett: FTA Bottom: Debbie Colacichi, Mary Sears.

Today the rapport between students and teachers has changed greatly. Both are more relaxed and casual with one another. The Future Teachers of America Club exemplifies this liberal attitude. Students and teachers worked in co-operation with one another. Advi- sor Mrs. Coppinger explained, “The Club's goal is to provide teaching experience for students who might be interested in entering education. Dur- ing FTA meetings students are pre- pared to teach in a classroom. Members of the club tutored in schools throughout the community. Their efforts have been met with great enthusiasm by students who have fallen behind in their studies. FTA members met the role of teacher as a challenge which yielded great satis- faction. Throughout the year fundraisers were held. The proceeds were allotted for a one-hundred dollar scholarship, which was presented at the end of the year to the most deserving FTA mem- ber. All things considered, involvement in the FTA was a rewarding experi- ence. 101 There Will Be a Meeting Today «i For most clubs, there is a set meet- ing time when decisions are made and business is taken care of. There is, however, a constant buzz of activity from 8.00 a m. to 11:00 p.m. that hints at the fact that 2:30 is not the only time for gatherings. “Catch-as-catch-can” meetings between classes allow organizations to borrow time they would otherwise miss out on.

What started as pure curiosity has developed into a semi-professional activity for junior John Wisniewski. Since he was eight, John has been intrigued by cameras and unusual photographs. In seventh grade, a friend introduced him to photography as a career. He soon discovered that his interest in photography was profit- able as well as rewarding. John's hobby has taken him to several parts of the world. He stayed in South America one summer with rela- tives of a government official After being frisked at the South American airport, John was provided with a Chauffeur, who drove him around the countryside. While in South America, John took various pictures of the natives. It surprised John that many of the natives were camera shy. In addition to traveling to several for- eign countries, John’s hobby has pro- vided him with the opportunity to meet many famous people. One of these was President Jimmy Carter. At the 1976 Democratic Convention, John happened to be in the right place at the right time. Camera in hand, he did his best to act like a reporter and con- fronted the President. John shook his hand and proceeded to take some photographs, when he realized that he had run out of film. Quickly he left for film, and upon reentering the room was apprehended by a secret service agent who noticed he had no press tag, grabbed his collar and escorted him to the door.

She makes and sells stuffed animal pillows. This innovative idea came to her in ninth grade when she began giving her adorable products to children as gifts. Lynne’s number one customers are still young people who treasure her stuffed koala bears, hip- pos, dolphins, elephants, and cats. The collection also includes her spe- cial creation — a doll she's developed without the help of a manufactured pattern. Lynne’s first doll sale was spon- sored at a fair at Eisenhower School. The market for her creations contin- ues, and her parents’ friends sell them in their various stores. Lynne is proud of her specially designed doll and all of her stuffed creatures. She is an ambi- tious junior who has developed an interesting pastime. Surrounded by her whimsical creations, Lynn Kowzan smiles with satisfaction.

Work began almost immediately as class rings arrived on September 26, the earliest arrival in many years. The next major event the class par- ticipated in was Homecoming. In keep- ing with the year’s theme of ‘‘Home For the Holidays,” the class presented a Halloween float. The dedication of officers, representatives, and inter- ested students resulted in a first place award in the float competition. The class sold posters and candy to raise money for their final big event, the Junior Prom. Because of the funds raised, the Prom was a successful and enjoyable evening for all who attended. 112 Above: The winning Junior float rolls past the judge's stand.

They are volunteers for BIC, the Brain Injured Children program of Sayreville. This program is a year round offering for those children who have some handicap. There are two phases to the pro- gram, winter and summer. The winter phase runs from September to June, every Saturday at Wilson School. The summer program is held at Hercules Park from Monday through Friday for six weeks. As counselors, Jeff and Jackie work with the children in various areas, including games, arts and crafts, and woodshop. Both agree the work and time put into their job is well worth it. They show the children how to do the projects and play the games and then they are allowed to proceed by them- selves. Volunteers are needed to help these children. Jeff and Jackie stress how rewarding it is to see the accomplish- ments the children can make with a lit- tle help and love.

Soccer Team Defeats East Brunswick — First Time in 14 Years ' % Difficulty in scoring in the last half of the season was the major weakness of the 1978 Varsity Soccer team, according to Coach Hudock. Although the Bombers did not achieve a winning record, their strong defensive play kept them in reach of every game. Seniors Neil Trainer and Greg Burns proved to be the team's most outstanding players with their excellent defensive play. Conversely, senior Mike Lowery and junior Glen Guido contributed successfully with their fine offense. Junior Dave Sutton did an excellent job as goalie saving many goals against the tough New Brunswick team, which helped Sayreville to achieve a tie. Coach Hudock feels that juniors John Burrets, Frank Devine, and Dave Sutton showed a determined improvement throughout the course of the season. Even though the Bombers failed to be vic- torious in 10 out of their 17 games, their 2-1 victory over East Brunswick highlighted the season, since this was the first time in four- teen years the Varsity Soccer Team defeated East Brunswick. According to Coach Hudock, the season could have been a winning one since the Bombers were rarely dominated by their opponents.

Led by sophomore Toyo Meza, an exchange student from Mexico, the underclassmen gained momentum with the excellent defensive play of Ed Meele and Bob Butchko. Meza's efforts earned him a school record for most goals scored in a single season. Extraordinary offensive play earned junior Tom Smith recognition as the team’s most improved player. What the team lacked in skill, it made up in its enthusiasm and hustle. Driven by the energy of their first year soccer Coach, Kevin Corrigan, the team tallied a 8-7 record about which JV Soccer SWMHS 0 Edison 2 SWMHS 2 J. P.

The team was led by sophomores Gina Nowak at halfback and Cindy Scavone at forward position. Goalie Judy Kalicki helped the defense with 63 saves. Coach Ryan feels that the team’s greatest disadvantage was that “75% of the 1978 team had no field hockey experience at all.” However, there was a great improvement over the course of the season, especially for sopho- mores Stephanie Gumas and Kim Sabine and freshman Terry Kearney. The team’s main weakness was its poor shooting. The Bombers scored only 6 goals during their entire season. Although their overall log of 2-6-2 could not be called a winning endeavor, their 2-1 win over rival East Brunswick highlighted their efforts.

However, lack of varsity experience proved to be the girls' main disadvantage, added Coach Willis. Senior Melinda McSpadden and juniors Nancy Burbank and Sue Klein supplied the Bombers with fine defensive play. Goalie Linda McDermott saved goals which could have resulted in additional losses for the team. Sophomore Dot Burbank proved to be a key player and earned a varsity starting position as forward. Coach Willis felt that the team’s offensive play lacked the necessary aggressiveness needed to score. Despite the losses, one bright spot was the tie against the outstanding Westfield team. It proved to be the highlight of the season. Considering the team’s weak points, Coach Willis felt the season went fairly well and looks to the future, hopeful of a well- balanced team.

Nothing could have been more appropriate; the team romped to victory in all its dual meets and literally “ran away from the field” in the County Champion- ships. Mary Jane Briody and Madelyn Noe provided plenty of individual sparkle. Mary Jane captured first place in four meets, while Madelyn took three, and the duo tied five times. However, the season was far from an indi- vidual show. Seniors Kathy Russo. Karen Brent, Mary Heussner, Pam Lichtenstein and rookie Ret Weinman all contributed to the season. Underclassmen Amy Brent, Ellen Briody, Elise Green and Anna Vicino ran Varsity more often than not, providing a base for the future. Mr. Piotrowski noted the “magic formula for victory was a basic desire to win, combined with their determi- nation, sprinkled generously with their expe- rience from the 1977-1978 undefeated year.’’ Even though the same runners returned from last year's team, which failed to capture the county title, this team came within seconds of taking the Group IV Sec- tionals. Of course a team like this is not without records. Madelyn Noe owns the record at Middlesex County College with 18:34 min- utes for three miles. Also, in the first two years of the team’s existence, there were twenty consecutive victories with no losses in two straight seasons. The strong bond of friendship and great determination have lead the Cross Country team to two out- standing seasons, with a future that looks as promising as their past.

Bottom: John Koblos eyes the finish line for the last time after a three year Varsity career Cross Country and Sayreville have become synonymous. This season the boys’ team was the talk of the County with an undefeated season garnering the Con- ference Championship and a second place in the County Championships. The keys to the success were fine per- formances from runners in each class, freshman to senior, backed up by the deter- mination and support of the rest of the team. Senior Eric Veit closed his career in a flurry of tremendous races. Dale Buchberger, whose illness hurt the team in the Counties, had a remarkable rookie year, contributing to the undefeated record. But it was the sophomore-freshman duo of Joe Longo and John Kiernan that proved the team's way. Coach Carney was overjoyed with the team's performance, particularly Longo’s and Kiernan’s. Longo set the course record at Middlesex County College. Carney also cited Joe Cipriano. Mark Powell, and Charlie Klauder as the big guns in the Sayreville Stampede. Senior Harry McGowan capped a six year Cross-Country career with a sec- ond place the last meet of the season. The last meet ended the season in the same fashion as it began.

If the Girls’ Tennis Team wasn’t playing a match, it was practicing. The efforts of the senior dominated team led to an impressive 17-8 record for the season. Seniors Karyn Frezzi. Mary Lynn Sollecito and Beth Newman played first, second and third singles respectively. Frezzi chalked up a record of 7-17 despite her inexhaustive effort. She continuously had to challenge some of the top seeded players in the State. Rather than individual effort, the team's suc- cess came mainly because of what Coach Maurer called “strength in the middle.’’ A consistent winner, Newman provided the best record in Sayreville history, 22-2. Over- shadowed by Beth was Mary Lynn Sollecito, who only lost five conference matches and ended up with a 15-7 record. Debbie Man- nell and Jackie Saltzman combined suc- cessfully to produce an outstanding 14-6 record at the first doubles position. Second doubles changed continuously throughout the season, though towards the end Coach Maurer tended to lean towards playing jun- ior Dawn Locklin and freshman Lucia Sol- lecito. The Bombers participated in both the State and County Tournaments. Seedec third in the Counties, the girls dropped a match to J. F. Kennedy in the first round This loss was particularly disappointing because they defeated J.F.K. in regular sea- son play. Seeded fifth in the states, the girls lost to fourth seeded Middletown South. Even though the team did not achieve its goal of reaching the finals in the county tournament, Coach Maurer concluded with an air of satisfaction that the season had indeed been “truly successful!

Contributing greatly to the team’s efforts were senior Brian Moran, juniors Pat Ryan and Rick Plewa and sophomore Tony D'Arpa. Four of the 15 team members quali- fied for the State Individual Championships. Although none of the individuals placed, Coach Hefelfinger felt “it was a good experi- ence for all. Coach Hefelfinger concluded that next season “should be excellent,'' as the gym- nastic team is composed mainly of under- classmen. This, combined with their outstanding efforts in the floor exercise and vaulting, led Coach Hefelfinger to hope that the team qualifies for the State Team Championships next year.

Their efforts earned them third place in the con- ference. Although Coach Rudge felt that Senior Denise McGrath greatly improved her rou- tine on the bars, the team’s chief weakness remained in that area. “Injuries to team members Janise Meyer- tons and Donna Rytel put the team at a great disadvantage,” according to Coach Rudge. While Janise was out for the entire season, Donna was not able to participate until the fourth match. The Girls’ Gymnastics Team posted two state sectional qualifiers Donna Rytel and Debbie Miara. The team's victory over a tough Cedar Ridge team, by two tenths of a point, strengthened their confidence and helped them to another marginal victory against J. P. Stevens.

Servidio Named Home News Player of the Week “Sayreville Pride was the theme of the 1978 Varsity Football Team. First year Coach Gary Mix centered his team around this idea and their combined efforts resulted in breaking the fourteen game losing streak that started in 1976. We made very good progress — very respectable. Twenty-one points kept us from having a winning season, said Coach Mix of the team’s 2-9 record, a definite improvement over last year’s 0-11 log. The Bombers’ outstanding play was pre- dominately on defense. Dubbed the steel curtain. their strength brought about the upset win over Edison and the defeat of Perth Amboy. Senior Vin Servidio was a consistent spur to the team’s spirit and a key offensive player. His efforts were commended in his Home News Player of the Week award.

We made great progress in the second half of the year, said Coach Bob Piotrow- ski. The team won six of its last eight games to secure a winning season. Much of the team’s success was due to strong rebounding and an aggressive man- to-man defense. This, along with better shooting than last season, gave Coach Piotrowski his seventh winning season in nine years. Led by the fine play of junior Tom Calla- han and sophomores Ray Kreiger and Mark Delgado, the team achieved a final record of eleven wins and ten losses. Dur- ing the second half of the season, the team was helped by the improved play of sopho- mores George Lazo, Joe Balsamo, and Mike Kleinow. As Coach Piotrowski said, Inexperience hurt us in the beginning Our success was due to hard work and determination. Looking forward to next season, Coach Piotrowski noted that The freshman team had a winning season. This, with the return of many sophomores from this year, gives the team a very hopeful outlook for 1980. Top Left: Carefully guarded by his opponent.

Bottom: Closely guarded by a Spartan, Tom Lakomski tries to sink a sideline shot “Excellent shooting proved to be the key in the team’s successful season,” submitted Varsity basketball coach Pat Dineen. Sayre- ville chalked up a fine 15-8 season record, and for the first time in years reached the semi-finals of the county tournament and was seeded eighth in the states. The varsity roster illustrated the balance of the team. Outstanding seniors included Tom Lakomski and Jeff Kabat, whose early season illness resulted in his missing the first five games. Ralph Novak led the field of juniors, and was joined by Tom Callahan and John Tarnacki. Dan Ogborne, the team’s most improved player, supported the sophomore section. 1979 marked the tenth anniversary of Sayreville’s Coach Pat Dineen, and the team’s successful season “couldn’t have been a better present.” Although Mr. Dineen admitted, “I enjoy offense, the chal- lenge is putting the ball in the basket, he also stressed defense and the hustle that every team needs. What the team lacked in height, they made up in hustle and excellent defense which was highlighted by their fast creaks. Overall, the players and coaches were pleased with the 1979 basketball season, especially their win against Carteret in the quarter finals of the County Tournament. Below Left.

The girls didn’t have much pressure on them because they were underestimated. The team surprised many people, how- ever, finishing the season with a record of 15 wins and 5 losses, and taking second place in their conference. A well-balanced attack proved to be the team’s strong point. There were no superstars like last year; everyone shared in the scoring this season. The sen- ior-dominated team was led by the hustle of co-captain Sue Malaspina and the improved play of Mona Hickson. Cindy All- man became the first freshman ever to earn a varsity letter. Injuries hurt the team during the latter part of the season. Barb Hansel was out for two weeks at mid-season for minor sur- gery. Sue Klein’s sprained ankle kept her out for one week near the end of the year. Although the team was eliminated in the first round of the county tournament, Coach Sunski was still pleased with their performance this season. As she pointed out, They played well the whole season, and acted like a team both on and off the court.

The JV teams sometimes lack unity and a sense of team identification. However, as Coach Linda Smith noted, “This year our team worked as a unit. We had one of the strongest teams in the confer- ence On the court, the team was led by juniors Cindy Ritter and Linda Almeida. Their play helped the girls to a final record of 17 wins and 3 losses includ- ing a victory over a tough East Bruns- wick team, which had not lost in three years. In spite of their fine record, the team often had to come from behind to win. Coach Smith explained “there was an inability to get going in the beginning of a game . . , sometimes it would take until the second half before the team got into gear.” Looking back on the season, Coach Smith described it as “extremely suc- cessful. However, as one fan noted, “These girls work as hard as the varsity team, but they don’t get the same rec- ognition . . . It’s a real shame. Top Right: Looking tor an outlet.

Rookie Coach Steve Fischer best remembered this sea- son for the match Brian Bottomly wrestled varsity and pinned his opponent. Coach Fischer reminisced, “Brian stepped right in and filled our gap in the 148-lb. weight class. The team was very proud of him. While events like that typified the team’s “very positive attitude,” Coach Fischer explained that. “We did not have enough wrestlers to fill every weight class. This meant that we had to forfeit many matches, putting us at a real disadvantage.'1 The team was led by the performances of Glenn Lazo and Randy Litz, and helped by the improved wrestling of Ziggy Koprowicz. Their efforts were not enough to overcome the lack of wrestlers, as reflected by the team's record of one win and nine losses. However, Coach Fischer was not disappointed. “I think they did very well for the number of boys that wrestled Everyone did their best; I couldn't ask for any more than that.

In his first year as coach, former Sayre- ville wrestler Leonard Zaleski had a tough job. With only two seniors, Paul Letts and George Krall, the majority of the team was made up of underclassmen. Although the team finished at 2-12, the coach was proud of the group’s positive attitude. “The team never lost its confi- dence, he explained. “They had a desire to win that made them always do their best. He found more young wrestlers came out than expected, and their per- formances improved throughout the sea- son. Juniors Mark Ryan and Frank Red- ding proved valuable in the higher weight classes, while sophomore Mark Mahalick took on lighter opponents. Coach Zaleski noted that although he was pleased with the number that came out for the team, they lost several matches because there were not enough wrestlers to fill each weight class. The team’s improvement was shown by late season wins over Carteret and High- land Park, and a close loss to Colonia. The defeat of Carteret was the biggest victory, as it was a close match, the final score being 34-28. “We were really set back by Paul Letts’ separated shoulder,” commented the coach. “But we really can’t complain. By the end of the season we were really going strong. Below Left: In a match against South River, Paul Letts gets his opponent in a rather uncomfortable position.

Grappler's Experience Losing Season — Unable to Fill All Weight Classes 147 Longo Breaks School Records! Sayreville Sweeps East Brunswick Relays When asked about the track team's advantage over last year, Coach Carney emphasized, We were all a little older and that contributed to the great depth of the team. Anyone who’s been following the track team would heartily agree with Coach Carney’s statement. Almost all of the senior members of the team, male and female, have been involved in track and field since their early years at the Junior High School. This trend continues, too, as more and more underclassmen arrive at the high school ready for competition and improvement. It was the experience of the senior track- sters and the enthusiasm of the under- classmen that proved to be the winning ingredients of a successful season. High- lights of the season were victories for the hurdle relay team in the county relays, and the capturing of the Boys’ and Girls’ East Brunswick relay title. The female members of the team set meet records in every event, and freshman John Kiernan set a new two mile record which was later bro- ken by Joe Longo, who also set a record in the mile. The sprints and hurdles were dominated by seniors Rocco D’Antuono, Scott Unkel and juniors Kevin Shanley and A. J. Sabine. Charlie Klauder and John Koblos ran distance along with Keirnan and Longo. Female tracksters participated mainly in distance and high jump. Accord- ing to Coach Carney, Senior Loretta Weinman proved to be outstanding in the high jumps and low hurdles. The most improved athletes were sophomore Donna Gassbeck in the half mile and junior Mario Mascali in the shot put. Although the team proved to be suc- cessful, the recurrence of illness and lack of proper track facilities were extremely detrimental.

Well, in terms of class rank, the students immediately behind the valedictorian and salutato- rian are often left like that; out in the cold with a fine school record and no recognition. Quo Vadis '79 has elected to include the number 3 through 10 rankings in addition to Valedictorian Dan Luther and Salutatorian JoAnn Mulcahy. This year’s class rankings were phe- nomenally close. The grade point average for the student ranked tenth differed only by .31 of a point from that of the top ranked. 152 John Accurso Judith M. Adams Greg Thomas Aich Doug Albert Gina M.

Booth 154 CRYP Comes to Sayreville George Washington University in the District of Columbia was the set- ting last August for the final lecture of the year offered by the Committee for Responsible Youth Politics. This semi- nar was meaningful because three Sayreville seniors, Ken Moyle, Dan Luther and JoAnn Mulcahy, were in attendance. They, along with four oth- ers from Middlesex County, were granted scholarships by CRYP. What started like a fun weekend turned out to be two grueling days. There were infrequent breaks during the two seventeen hour lecture ses- sions. Meals were hurried and often cold. Breakfast'’, related Dan Luther, “was soda and peanuts. The most distressing fact for the three was that they did not see any sites in Washington except the White House. JoAnn’s greatest worry was there being no windows in the lecture room. However, in the end, the three man- aged to pass the final exam (given in the wee hours of Monday morning). “Theoretically,’’ according to Ken, “we are now qualified to go to a state, say Idaho, and run a bonafide youth campaign for a Senator. Finally, during the fall, all this train- ing was transformed into hard work. On November seventh, their efforts almost paid off in the best Republican effort in Middlesex County ever. Charles Wiley came within 2,800 votes of unseating eight term incumbent Ed Patten. MARGARET BALLO: 17 Eisenhower Dr.. Sayre JOHN BARBELLA: 13 Camden St., Parlin. FTA 2. 3. 4: Echo Lites 4.

During a typical day in the Marriage and Family course, which is taught by Mrs. Newton, family relationships, dat- ing customs, budgeting, and other aspects of marriage are discussed. But on November 6, something different was planned: a mock wedding. The room was decorated realisti- cally with paper flowers and bells. In the rear of the room punch and doughnuts were served at the conclu- sion of the ceremony. Chairs were arranged similar to pews in a church, with the Justice of the Peace, Bridget Eska, at the head. Class members were the invited guests, all being escorted to their seats by usher Rudy Rella. Dr. Parnell and Miss Sowa were among the invited guests. When everyone was seated, the groom, Mike Krainski and the best man Ralph Jurkiewicz, walked to the side of Bridget. As the Wedding March sounded, bridesmaids Colleen Vogel and Della Marie Truppo started the procession. They were followed by the maid of honor, Joyce Roman and the bride. Debbie Conway. Bridget then concluded the wedding ceremony pronouncing Mike and Deb- bie husband and wife. Wedding rings were to be exchanged, but for unknown reasons, the bride and groom hastily walked back down the aisle, forgetting this symbolic ritual. Despite the mix-up, everyone enjoyed themselves. The participants in the wedding were selected on a volunteer basis except the groom, who said he was chosen. The bride quickly retorted “not by me. After the reception, the class began working on a budget for the newly married couple. If the couple is finan- cially incompatible, a divorce may be possible. Despite the mock wedding, it was found that our school is not prog- ressive enough to chance a mock honeymoon. Top Left: At her Mock wedding, Debbie Conway is escorted down the aisle by her father’'.

Clark Many people express awe and often envy of actors while watching a Broad- way production. Cindy Johnson, a senior, has left behind her seat in the audience to pursue her dreams. “I’d like to make it big and dance on Broadway,” she reveals with a smile. Cindy has been dancing for eight years and finds great reward in her full life, hurried as it often becomes. At the present time she attends classes three nights a week to receive instruction in ballet and modern dance. Ballet is her first love, so Cindy decided to postpone college a year or so while she ventures a possible career. Always geared toward Broad- way, she has diversified her time and taken lessons in many areas. Several years ago voice lessons began to sup- plement her dancing. Cindy’s desire for a Broadway career comes from actual experience with the stage. The director of her dancing school formed a semi-profes- sional company called American Dance Theatre of New Jersey. They have performed in many recitals and benefits including the Hand-in-Hand program at Middlesex College. While many students hold down jobs solely to obtain pocket money, Cindy discovered a job that allows her to use her dancing talent: as “Miss Cindy” she instructs classes of three to five year old children at a Day Care Center. On her way to what she hopes will be a lifetime vocation, Cindy has already realized many of the hopes she has held for many years. 159 Robin Ann Collier Jeanne Coman David S.

But for Andrew Brereton, David King, Dan Luther, John Klein, Pam Lichtenstein and Donna Mahn, their PSAT meant recognition and a reward in the form of the National Merit Schol- arship Commended Student Award.

Adventurers Explore New Mexico In July, 1978, three seniors from SWMHS participated in a unique expe- rience. Bill Fitting, David King, and John Klein took an unforgettable trip to the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. There, with boys from all across the U.S., they participated in a backpacking trip of about 70 miles, although they agreed, that was the direct distance. The trails wound around quite a bit, making the total dis- tance more like 110 miles. Dave added, Everyone had to carry a pack with his personal gear, plus a tent, food and other crew gear. It added up to about 40 lbs. Although much of their time was spent backpacking, each day’s camp offered other activities such as rock climbing, lumberjacking and burro packing. I think that the rock climbing was the most exciting possibly because of the element of danger there. said John. Bill remembered packing the burros, then repacking them, then finally dragging the burros along. Each of the boys received a per- sonal impression from their adventure. Bill felt he learned many new outdoor skills. Now, should the situation arise, I could survive comfortably without any modern-day conveniences. He also enjoyed meeting people from all parts of the country. Dave was impressed with the friendliness of the people. There was a friendly comrad- erie among the natives and the hikers. That, and the natural surroundings, gave me a very leisurely feeling. John felt that he learned much about himself from the experience. We were away for a total of three weeks. During that time you had to do everything for your- self or it didn’t get done. Perhaps John best summed up the attitude of the boys, saying New Mex- ico was so beautiful . . . pictures; it must be experienced.

While other drum majors have stood on the sidelines to conduct. Robin took it upon herself to conduct from a platform placed in the center of the band’s formation. This enabled her to see the drum section more clearly and her commands and cues were dis- tinctly understood. Robin became drum majorette after competing with five other students for the position. Her colleague, Rick Cyr, was also chosen to be a drum major. The criteria by which they were judged included leadership and ability to con- duct. In addition to being chosen as a drum major, Rick was also lead trum- pet player for the band, and he found that his time for conducting was cut into because of this. Robin, who plays both saxophone and clarinet chose to devote her time entirely to conducting. She admitted “i prefer to be a drum majorette because I have more author- Left: Filled with great pride, Mr. Brindza presents Robin Collier with her first place trophy. Oppo- site Page: Mike Mosakowski and George Krall break for lunch ity. It allows me to be more creative. For Robin there have been many rewarding moments as a drum major- ette. One of these occurred at a Fire- man’s Parade where Mr. Brindza entered the band in competition unbeknown to them. At the end of the parade, Robin learned that she had been judged Best Appearing Drum Majorette’’ and for her performance was awarded a trophy. Looking back Robin intimates I was shocked to receive the trophy, but at the same time I felt indescribably happy.’’ Susan Pauline Earle Daryl Eck Nancy Edgington Peter Elacqua Betty Ann English Bridget Eska Lynn Fanok Glenn Farfel Joanne C.

A visit to a specialist on tropical diseases? Actu- ally, trichoptlosis can be found on the heads of most people, as it is the sci- entific term for split ends. Biology and chemistry are a part of the Beauty Culture training that almost no one associates with it. “Washing and setting hair is only a small part of what is taught,'’ relates Mrs. Herasym- chuck, first year teacher of the course. Geared toward the student who wishes to make a career of hairdress- ing, the course material covers all that is required for the state licensing exam as well as practical experience. It is a demanding and extensive curriculum that involves knowledge of not only techniques and procedures, but includes the nerves, bones and mus- cles of the head. Mrs. Herasymchuck stressed the importance of chemistry in working with hair and gave the example of what an incorrect Ph balance does to hair. “It just completely ruins the hair — it is stripped and lifeless. The class, composed entirely of girls, is a close knit group who trust one another. This aspect is absolutely necessary, as the students spend three periods a day together as juniors and four as seniors. Those enrolled in beauty culture as seniors are required to take a full day — a sacrifice that sometimes seems overwhelming, but is imperative for fulfilling the work hour requirement on the license applica- tion. A common dream among the girls is to run their own salons, and all express a common fear — “messing up someone's hair. TIMOTHY FEE. 14 Kathleen PI. So Amboy. SUZANNE FEHR. 23 Harrison St.. Sayre.

As President of Our Lady of Victo- ries Catholic Youth Organization, Greg’s responsibilities occupy much of his time, and require a lot of energy. He feels though, that his commitment has returned to him a great sense of accomplishment and self-worth. Through the CYO's activities Greg has found himself running bingo games for elderly nursing home residents, play- ing the guitar for handicapped chil- dren, and raking leaves in a cemetery on cold Saturday mornings. After three years as an active mem- ber, Greg was elected President and looks back on those years as giving him a “fundamental understanding of how the CYO can best accomplish service in the Christian community. Greg's dedication to the ideals of service through faith earned him rec- ognition through the Eagle of the Cross Award which he received in 1978. His background in youth organi- zations has given him a direction for the future where he hopes to return to Church related activities as a coordi- nator and possibly as a CYO advisor Frank Gasparro Liz Gazzale Ann Marie Geiger Marilyn Ghigliotti Victoria S.

Mr. Boardman’s A.P. U.S. History class once again made headlines as its students witnessed Big Business put on trial. Some members of the class became actively involved and took on roles necessary for the proceeding. Mr. Boardman was the judge, the defense attorneys were John DeFilippis, Dan Luther, and Ken Moyle defending the ex-President of US, por- trayed by Dennis Hahn, JoAnn Mul- cahy of Standard Oil and Cathy deVries of NY Central RR. The plaintiffs from the Labor faction, were immigrant workers Mary Lynn Sollecito, Ed Yin and Arline Nykvist represented by Prosecuting Attorneys John Klein, Andrew Brereton and John Barbella. While these students had major roles, the remainder of the class acted as witnesses and the jury. After the proceedings took place over a period of 2 weeks, the jury found the corporate executives inno- cent, and the ex-President guilty. Mr. Boardman felt, however, that had this been heard in a real court of law, the case would have been dis- missed because of important prosecu- tion due to erroneous charges. The class learned a great deal about trials and jury decisions from this active participation.

Up until a few years ago the clay pits was the common name for the barren stretch of land across from the High School. The once fertile land was mined for its rich clay deposits, how- ever, with the closing of the Sayre Fisher Brick Company, the demand for clay ceased and the mine closed. Since then, erosion has ravaged the land, creating frequent dust storms. Today the land has been revitalized into Kennedy Park. With aid from fed- eral, state and local funds, the area was cleared and replanted. Recreation facilities, including basketball, hand- ball and tennis courts were built. A modular children's play area was con- structed of wooden ties, and a stage was built for community entertain- ment. The park's pond provides ice- skating facilities during the winter. This past summer it was also stocked with fish, and a fishing derby for children was held. Present plans for the park call for the addition of several new tennis courts, and the expansion of the park area to provide picnic and boating facilities. Considering its great use by the people of Sayreville, Kennedy Park has proved to be a worthwhile invest- ment for the community. Above: Viewed from Washington Road, a por- tion of Kennedy Park awaits development. STEPHENIE JONES: 25 Ash Terr., Par- lin.

Though every editor faced a situa- tion in which he or she asked them- selves, “Why am I doing this? , the answer was to be revealed in the feel- ing of a job well done.

The billboard contest, sponsored by the Sayreville Industrial Commission awarded Robin $75 and the opportunity to design a billboard which will appear on the Gar- den State Parkway. Robin’s main objective in creating a billboard was to design an interesting billboard with a catchy phrase to attract people’s attention while driv- ing. Throughout her years in high school, Robin has taken various art courses to develop her artistic ability. Her classes were well worth the time spent. Her art work will not only be appar- ent on the Parkway, but it appaeared on the cover of the 1978 Course Description Book and 1978 Career Discovery Day Book. Robin was also involved with Images and designs the advertisements for Lily Langtry’s Bar and Restaurant. To further develop her talents, Robin plans to major in commercial art while at college. 176 Tony Kwiatkowski Janet Kwiecinski Laura Labassi Richard Lahrman Thomas Lakomski Karen Lasko Marc Lasko Jane Latham Janice Lawson Joe Lenahan Paul Letts Todd Levine Cindy Lichtenstein Pamela Lichtenstein Steven Licinski Robert Lockwood GARY KROLIK: 36 Harrison St., Parlin.

The three singles positions were filled by Karyn Frezzi, Mary Lynn Sollecito, and Beth Newman. The first doubles combination of Debbie Man- ned and Jackie Saltzman rounded off the senior roster. Each of the seniors were three or four year veterans, which was reflected in their individual records. Beth Newman at third singles, achieved an overall record of 22-2. Her outstanding achievement was rewarded with a position on the Mid- dlesex County Athletic Conference Team. (MCAC) The senior girls proved to be the cornerstone of a very successful year and enabled the team to qualify for the State and County Tournament.

Chances are that someone in one of your classes is named John, This is the most popular male name in the Class of 79. Other top male names are Bob or Robert which ran a close second, and Mike which rounds out the top three. Sue, being the most popular girls' name, was tied with John for the most popular name overall. Mary, Marie or some derivation of this name, was the second most popular of the girls’ names. Karen ranked third in the name survey. If your last name begins with-the let- ter S , it is no wonder. “S” was the most common letter of the last names. The seniors with the letter “M“ have the second most common first letter of the last name. The letter “K was a surprise third place winner. Respecta- ble showings in the first letter of the last name were the letters “B“, “C” and “D” which finished in the next three places respectively. In this year of Beatlemania”, “Jog- germania”, and “Tennismania SWMHS's “Seniormania is one of the fads that we can most easily identify with. Top: The seniors of SWMHS. i What's in a Name?

One enjoyable facet of the Sayreville community is the Raritan Bay Area YMCA South, which used to be known as the Parlin YMCA. The name change is not the only one which the Y had planned for this year. The Y is currently trying to raise enough money for a new building which will be financed by organiza- tions in the service area, contributions from the local public and through investors interested in the Y. The total expected cost is close to one million dollars and production will begin in 1980. The old building contains a large pool, and activities include swimming lessons, a swim team, and a diving team.

They’re equally good. There is no real star, said manager Debbie Dona- hue. Four of the five starters are upper- classmen returning from varsity play last year. While Barb Hansel leads the team in scoring, Sue Malaspina, Candy Zollinger and Mona Hickson all average in the double figures. The play of seniors Lisa Rispoli, coming off the bench, provided the impetus for several wins, including one against conference rival Woodbridge. The 1979 girls’ basketball team sur- prised many with their fine showing despite the lack of any one superstar. Lett: Seniors dominate the boards.

One of the most popular and in- demand bands in this area is Atlantic City Expressway. Composed primarily of Sayreville graduates and students, it boasts a fine senior drummer in Char- lie Mills. Charlie became interested in music early, and has been enrolled in the band program since Junior High. Upon entering high school, Charlie could be seen as a part of the Concert Band, Marching Unit, and Jazz-Rock Ensemble. He also demonstrates a great deal of dedication to the entire musical program in his supportive interest. Before going ACE, Charlie was a part of the groups Manzo and Changes, where he gained the experi- ence that every performer needs. Charlie explains his joining the band, ‘‘I was roading, you know, just setting up before they play. When an opening for drummer came up, I stepped in.” Charlie reflects on his plans with a thoughtful gesture, go to college, get a steady job,” and then he reveals with a wide grin, “who knows — maybe I’ll be a rock star!” Joan Ryan Thomas Ryan Richard Rysinski Jacqueline Saltzman Frances Salvatore John Salvatore Susan Samaniego Tina Santangelo Sandy Santaniello Darlene Satorski 189 Library Provides Escape Laurie Schaefer Tom Schenerman Lori Schmidt Margaret Schmidt Jill Schorr Bryan Schreiner Kim Sciarrillo Mary Sears Nancy Sedlak Gary Seitis Vincent Servedio LAURIE SCHAEFER: 23 Sunrise Terr., Parlin.

Unlike other clubs who become sty- mied when their membership grows too large, the National Honor Society found itself able to become more involved as a result of their record enrollment of more than 75 upper- classmen. Many NHS members volunteered to serve as teacher aides for the com- pensatory education classes. This was the first time students have served in such a capacity. Their jobs as teacher aides consisted of correcting and filing papers. This took much of the paper- work off the teachers’ hands, and allowed them to give more individual attention to students.

It's a typical reaction to the shock of free time they are hit with after months of rehearsal. Why spend three months of running here and there, trying to exist around rehearsal schedules? The responses vary from “It gives me a sense of self-worth, to “I really don’t know. Whatever the reason may be, they are there in the auditorium — singing and dancing, or reading and rereading lines until they are perfect. If it takes until 11:00 p.m. to do it, the cast will be there until it’s done. What most people don’t realize is that all their time involved must mani- fest itself in the two or three night per- formances the cast presents. For when the final curtain reaches the floor, there can be no going back.

These girls, who were the original members of Sayreville’s first girls’ cross country team, have been instru- mental in leading the girls’ track team to 20 straight wins in just two years. Among these senior runners are Mary Jane Briody, who was chosen for the Middlesex County Cross Country Team and was also selected along with teammate Madeline Noe for 1st team All Conference during the 1978 season. Other senior members of the team include Karen Brent, Kathy Russo, Pam Lichtenstein, Loretta Weinman, and Mary Heussner, all of whom are some of the best runners in Middlesex County.

We found ourselves surrounded by. and caught up in, the motion of time. From Yankee Fever to the Guyana tragedy, our world forced us to feel and think. 1979 brought Mary Jane Briody to Tennessee, an earthquake to New Jersey, and the “E wing to Sayreville. 1979 found the curriculum rear- ranged and departments combined. While these changes were effective in their prescribed purposes, snatches of conversation in between classes seemed to prove that no change is quite as stirring as a lost love or new job. In the community, the additions to the “Y and library echoed the need for growth which led to the newly- completed art wing. As a result of this growth, the Girls’ and Boys' Cross- Country teams finished their season undefeated. Girls’ Varsity Basketball continued this year in a transitionary period, and Boys’ Basketball coach Pat Dineen earned his 100th victory. Cheerleading advisor Miriam Fehrle recognized her 30th year in that post. In this year when we saw attitudes and impressions change, the birth of the first test tube baby, and the coro- nation of the first Polish Pope drew us together for a moment of consistency. For all its turmoil, 1979 was a time for us to be ourselves, moving in differ- ent directions and sharing a common, if temporary link.
